as described here, the sewer easement is within the Zone 1 of the Neuse River, not within Zone 1 of Caraway Creek as it appears to be shown in
Figure 9 and represented in the Table 4. Correct the Table 4 and corresponding figures to show the TOB off Neuse River contributing to
crediting rather than it being Caraway Creek.

BH3 has an area correctly shown on Figure 8 that is not viable for nutrient offset. therefore, there will need to be two rows for BH3. One for the
restoration areas that are convertible to NOC and another where it reads BH3 (1998 cleared) and NO for convertible to NOC

COVER 1. DWR ID# is 2014-0820 v5 This ID number was added to the cover page.

SECTION 1: MITIGATION PROJECT SUMMARY 2. EBX is referenced a couple of times as EBX, LLC in the document. Inconsistent naming can lead to confusion, so it's recommended this be edited in the document where applicable. This has been addressed. 3. As described here, the sewer easement is within the Zone 1 of the Neuse River, not within Zone 1 of Caraway
Creek as it appears to be shown in Figure 9 and represented in the Table 4. Correct the Table 4 and corresponding figures to show the TOB off Neuse River contributing to crediting rather than it being Caraway
Creek. Figure 9 was updated accordingly, and Table 4 credits did not need to be adjusted. 4. It is best to describe the adjacent closed out bank project as the "Caraway Creek Bank Parcel". It is recommended
that when describing the buffer and nutrient offset project that EBX plans to develop in conjunction with this DMS site, that it be referenced as "Caraway Bluff Phase II Bank Parcel".
These changes were corrected though out the document. Specifically in Section 1.1 Section 1.3.4 B, and Section 3.2.1.
5. It should be noted that the right bank of D4 also is within an existing CE. This had been added to Section 1.3.4 B when describing D4.
SECTION 2: REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS 6. Requested that “in accordance to” is changed to “which are regulated under”. This edit to the sentence was made in the document to reflect the requested change.
7. Comments on Table 4 may affect crediting amounts that will need to be updated in this paragraph.
Credit amounts have been updated accordingly.
TABLE 4: CARRAWAY BLUFF PROJECT (OMS#: 100186) RIPARIAN BUFFER MITIGATION SUMMARY 8. There should be a row depicting total area and total buffer credits measured off TOB of the Neuse River, but it appears those credits and areas are tabulated within the Carraway Creek amount. edit the table accordingly. This was a typo. The Neuse River was tabulated on credit lines one and two; Table 4 has been updated
accordingly.

9. BH3 has an area correctly shown on Figure 8 that is not viable for nutrient offset. therefore, there will need to
be two rows for BH3. One for the restoration areas that are convertible to NOC and another where it reads BH3 (1998 cleared) and NO for convertible to NOC BH3 and BH3 (1998 Cleared) were shown in Table 4 as described in this comment. However, BH3 (1998 Cleared)
was incorrectly listed as a ditch not as I/P. This has been revised.
FIGURE 2: EXISITING CONDITIONS 10. At a point that will mark the end of Caraway creek as it enters the Neuse River so that it isn’t confusing as to
which feature these measurements will be derived Terminal points have been added to each feature to ensure more clarity in the map
FIGURE 5: BUFFER CONCEPTUAL DESIGN 11. Change "NCDWR Bank" to "Private Bank" Make this change on all other figures.
This edit was made in the Figure 5, Figure 2, Figure 8 and Figure 11 to reflect the requested change. 12. The yellow and orange CE boundaries are difficult to decipher when looking at the hard copy vs the electronic
copy. It is recommended that the map depicts the bank site CE differently (not orange) so that when or if the plan is printed as a hard copy, it will be easy to decipher. The conservation easement boundary color for the bank site has been revised. 13. Change "Existing Buffer and Nutrient Offset Bank" to "Caraway Creek Bank Conservation Easement" and make
the same change to other figures. This edit was made in the figures to reflect the requested change. 14. Add "riparian" to all credit types below Example: "riparian" restoration 0-50; riparian preservation 0-100'.... This edit was made in the figures to reflect the requested change. 15. It is not clear what this area is supposed to depict or whether this area is measured off Caraway Creek or BH2.
Should this be yellow, or should it be "ineligible buffer credit area"? add clarity to the figure. Based on the site viability letter, it appears that more areas along BH2 should be called out for being cleared in 1998 and ineligible for buffer credit. Explain.
Callouts have been added to this map to clarify which zones correspond to each feature. The ineligible area shown in this location is associated with BH2. They yellow zone, called out on Figure 5, corresponds to the 101–
200-foot zone as measured off of Carraway Creek, which is also presented in Figure 9. 16. Same as comment above off BH2; it is not clear what this area is supposed to depict or whether this area is measured off Caraway Creek or BH1. Should this be yellow, or should it be "ineligible buffer credit area"? add clarity to the figure.
Callouts have been added to this map to clarify which zones correspond to each feature. The ineligible area shown in this location is associated with BH1. They yellow zone, called out on Figure 5, corresponds to the 101–200-foot zone as measured off of Carraway Creek, which is also presented in Figure 9.
FIGURE 8: NUTRIENT OFFSET CONCEPTUAL DESIGN 17. Need to clarify that all these areas are "Riparian Restoration" areas. This has been revised.
18. This ineligible NOC area is not depicted in Table 4. see comments on Table 4. BH3 and BH3 (1998 Cleared) were shown in Table 4 as described in a previous comment. However, BH3 (1998 Cleared) was incorrectly listed as a ditch not as I/P. This has been revised, no credits or NOC needed to be adjusted.

FIGURE 9: RIPARIAN ZONES 19. Are these measurements taken from TOB of the Neuse River? If so, great and Table 4 needs to depict the same.
If no, correct to be measured off TOB of Neuse and update Table 4 to reflect the change. Measurements were taken from the TOB of the Neuse River. Table 4 has been revised to reflect this.
20. When looking at this map off BH2 and BH1, Figure 5 may not be accurate. please cross check the two. These areas were measured accurately. To make these zones clearer, each feature is now depicted with its own
Riparian Zones.
FIGURE 11: MONITORING PLAN 21. As mentioned on previous figures make sure to add "riparian" to the different approaches. This addition has been added to the different approaches.
Please find enclosed the final Buffer Mitigation Plan submission with changes as noted above. Do not hesitate to reach out with any question or comments. Jamey can be reached by email at [e-mail] or by phone at 919-623-9889.

Thank you. RES will complete the required steps to finish Task 2.

Lin Xu – Digital Comments:
1. The easement could not be verified, it was submitted by provider but is not in the Production
instance of the DMS Property Geodatabase. Timmons Basecamp indicated it was still in review
as of Friday 5/08/22; no problems identified, two instances of infrastructure in the easement
that may need to be added. The digital submission boundary acreage equals the acreage
stated in the report (25.34 ac). There is a Utility ROW indicated in the report that does not
appear on the easement survey. A sewer line easement located along the Neuse River reach
(northern boundary) of the project. Jeff Horton, DMS property specialist, was also notified to
ensure it is captured on the easement plat.
RES has submitted the geospatial materials to SPO. RES received approval to close by SPO. If
there are any issues or additional materials, please reach out to myself, Jamey McEachran at
919-623-9889.

2. The asset table and digital submission numbers for total area are all equivalent; the feature names are not the same in the digital submission as in the Mitigation Summary Table. There was one discrepancy between the digital submission and report; feature D4 in the report is listed as non-subject in the report and subject in the digital submission. Please verify if this feature is subject or non-subject and if necessary, update credit table. There was a typo in the previous digital submission. This has been revised in the final digital submission.
3. Please submit TOB.
This has been included in the digital submission package.

4. Please submit digital version of Riparian Buffer Mitigation Summary.
This has been included in the digital submission package.

This mitigation plan has been written in conformance with the requirements of the following:
• The Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule, 15A NCAC 02B .0295, effective November 1, 2015
• Nutrient Offset Credit Trading Rule, 15A NCAC 02B .0703, effective April 1, 2020
These documents govern NCDMS operations and procedures for the delivery of compensatory mitigation.

Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project Buffer Mitigation Plan
DMS Project #: 100186 3 September 2022
1 MITIGATION PROJECT SUMMARY
Environmental Banc & Exchange, LLC (EBX), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Resource Environmental
Solutions (RES), is pleased to provide the Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project (Project), a full-delivery buffer
mitigation project for the Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) (DMS #100186). This buffer project is
designed to provide riparian buffer mitigation credits for unavoidable impacts due to development within
the Neuse River Basin, United States Geological Survey (USGS) 8-digit Cataloguing Unit 03020201 (Neuse
01), excluding Falls Lake Watershed (Figure 1). This Buffer Mitigation Plan is in accordance with the
Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 and Nutrient Offset Credit Trading Rule 15A
NCAC 02B .0703.
1.1 Project Overview
The Carraway Bluff Project consists of a 25.39-acre conservation easement and the following features: the
Neuse River, five stream features (Carraway Creek, BH1, BH2, BH3, and BH4) and one ditch feature (D4).
Carraway Creek is a USGS-named stream that drains to the Neuse River within the Project Area. This Project
will be co-developed with a buffer mitigation and nutrient offset project, Caraway Bluff Phase II Bank Parcel
that will extend riparian buffer and riparian areas associated with this Project’s streams as well as
incorporate three additional ditch features on the property, ditch D6, D3 and D5. D3 drains into both BH1
and BH2 whereas D5 drains into BH3. Therefore, the realized riparian buffer mitigation areas for some
stream features will be larger and additional features will be included. Current land use within the Project
is primarily row crop production and riparian forest (Figure 2). Much of the Project area has been used
extensively for agricultural purposes for at least 70 years with areas of timbering in the 50s and then again
in early 1998 (Figure 3a and 3b). Currently, the Project streams and ditch, and adjacent areas are in either
crop production or forest. Water quality stressors currently affecting the Project include heavily
manipulated/relocated and maintained stream channels, nutrient loading from active crop production, and
a lack of forested riparian buffers. Current buffer conditions demonstrate significant degradation with the
loss of stabilizing vegetation because of continued crop production.
The goal of the Project is to restore and preserve riparian buffers and riparian areas by establishing
appropriate plant communities while minimizing temporal and land disturbing impacts. Buffer and
surrounding riparian area improvements will filter runoff from agricultural fields, thereby reducing nutrient
and sediment loads to Project channels and provide water quality benefit to the overall watershed.
The Project easement can be accessed by Genoa Road (Figure 4). The Carraway Bluff Project consists of
both perennial and intermittent features, including the Neuse River, Carraway Creek, five unnamed stream
features (BH1, BH2, BH3, and BH4) and one ditch feature (D4) (Figure 2). Carraway Creek is a named
tributary of the Neuse River with a partially intact riparian buffer, while its tributaries, BH1, BH2, BH3 and
BH4 are modified natural stream channels that lack any riparian buffer. Furthermore, the fifty-foot riparian
buffers of BH1 and BH2 were determined to be subject to the Neuse buffer protection rules (Subject); the
fifty-foot riparian buffers of BH3 and BH4 were determined to be not subject to the Neuse buffer
protection rules (Non-subject); stream determinations were verified by the DWR site visit on March 24,
2021. Correspondence regarding this determination is in Appendix A.
Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project Buffer Mitigation Plan
DMS Project #: 100186 4 September 2022
Buffer and riparian area mitigation efforts along the Project streams and ditches will be accomplished
through the planting, establishment, and protection of a hardwood forest community. The result will be a
riparian area that functions to mitigate nutrient and sediment inputs from the surrounding uplands. The
buffer mitigation plan proposed is being submitted for review under the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation
Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 and Nutrient Offset Credit Trading Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0703. In addition to
traditional riparian restoration, the Project will also incorporate the alternative buffer mitigation option:
Preservation of Buffers on Subject Streams, as outlined in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o) (5) and buffer restoration
on ditches as outlined in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o) (8). DWR staff performed an onsite stream determination
on March 24, 2021, and a buffer viability assessment for buffer mitigation and nutrient offset on July 29th,
2021. These correspondences are provided in Appendix A. The Project will provide significant functional
uplift to the watershed and will assist DMS with achieving its mitigation goals in the Neuse 01 watershed,
excluding the Falls Lake Watershed. The Project presents the opportunity to provide up to 640,370.462
(14.70 acres) of riparian buffer mitigation credits. These will be derived from restoration and preservation
of the riparian buffer and surrounding riparian areas. Project attributes are summarized in Table 1.

The riparian buffer mitigation credits will be produced by establishing a native forested and herbaceous
riparian plant community and protecting buffers in perpetuity with a conservation easement. For stream
channels, the buffer mitigation area will have a minimum width of 50 feet and a maximum of 200 feet from
the edge of the channels. These will be derived from 659,298 ft2 (14.44 acres) feet of buffer Restoration;
and 60,467 (1.38 acres) of buffer Preservation. For ditch channels, the mitigation area will be a width of 50
feet from the edge of the channel. These will be derived from 29,340 ft2 (0.67 acres) from the top of bank

to 50 feet of Restoration. The new plant community will be established in conjunction with the treatment
of any existing exotic or undesirable plant species. Figure 5 depicts the Conceptual Design Plan for Buffer
and Credit Determination, and Section 2.1 provides details of the mitigation determination on the
Carraway Bluff Project.
1.1.1 Parcel Ownership
The land required for the construction, management, and stewardship of this Project includes the parcel
listed in Table 2. EBX, (an entity of RES) will record a conservation easement from the current landowner.
The easement deed and survey plat will be submitted to DMS and the State Property Office (SPO) for
approval and are held by the State of North Carolina. The easement deed will follow the DMS Full Delivery
Conservation Easement Template dated May 5, 2017, and are included in Appendix B. The recorded
easement will allow EBX, to proceed with the Project development and protect the mitigation assets in
perpetuity. A finalized copy of the land protection instrument will be included in Appendix B.

1.2 Project Location
The Carraway Bluff Project is within the Neuse River Basin within the 8-digit HUC 03020201, 14-digit HUC
03020201170060 and DWR Sub-basin Number 03-04-12.
The Project is located in Wayne County, approximately five miles south of downtown Goldsboro, off of
Highway 117 (Figure 1). To access the Project from Goldsboro, head South on US 70 Business and merge
onto US-177 South for approximately 4.5 miles. Then turn left onto Old Mt Olive Highway and drive
approximately 1.2 miles. Then turn left onto Genoa Road, for about a half a mile, then turn left onto Robert
Avenue. The coordinates are 35.3280007, -78.010718.
1.3 Existing Conditions
1.3.1 Surface Water Classification
Carraway Creek and the Neuse River have both been assigned class C and Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW).
Class C waters are protected for uses such as secondary recreation, fishing, wildlife, fish consumption,
aquatic life including propagation, survival and maintenance of biological integrity, and agriculture.
Secondary recreation includes wading, boating, and other uses involving human body contact with water
where such activities take place in an infrequent, unorganized, or incidental manner. NSW designation is
intended for waters needing additional nutrient management due to being subject to excessive growth of
microscopic or macroscopic vegetation (NCDWQ 2011).
1.3.2 Physiography and Soils
The Project is located within the Rolling Coastal Plain Level IV ecoregion within the Southeastern Plains
Level III ecoregion and is characterized by greater relief, elevation, and stream gradients compared to the
Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project Buffer Mitigation Plan
DMS Project #: 100186 6 September 2022
Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain to the east. This ecoregion contains both dissected irregular and smooth plains,
and low to moderate gradient sandy-bottomed streams that branch from broad interstream divides with
steep to moderately gentle side slopes. The Project area is generally a very flat floodplain of the Neuse
River with mostly gentle side slopes that are dissected by drainages with elevations ranging from 50-feet
to 80-feet (Figure 6a and 6b). The ecoregion also contains better drained soils and a slightly cooler and
shorter growing season than the Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain; however, it is still a productive agricultural
region with typical crops of corn, soybeans, tobacco, cotton, sweet potatoes, peanuts, and wheat.
The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS, 2021) depicts eight soil series across the Project
(Figure 7). The Project has Chewacla loam, Johns sandy loam, Kalmia loamy sand, 0 to 2 percent slopes,
Kinston loam, Lumbee sandy loam, Torhunta loam, Wagram loamy sand, 0 to 6 percent slopes, and
Wickham sandy loam, 2 to 6 percent slopes, eroded. The soil characteristics of all soils within the Project
are summarized in Table 3.

1.3.3 Wetlands
National Wetland Inventory (NWI) mapping depicts two wetlands throughout the Project area (Figure 10)
however, the jurisdictional boundaries are not confirmed since this Project will not require a Jurisdictional
Determination. A palustrine forested broad-leaved deciduous, temporarily flooded (PFO1A) wetland
encompasses most of the northern and southern portions of the Project, with a small section of wetland
Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project Buffer Mitigation Plan
DMS Project #: 100186 7 September 2022
in the middle. A palustrine forested broad-leaved deciduous, seasonally flooded (PFO1C) wetland occurs
along the north and middle eastern boundaries of the Project.
1.3.4 Landscape Communities
A. Existing Vegetation Communities Currently, within the project area there is both cropland and forest. The cropland areas consist of a
vegetative cover is primarily comprised of fields of soybean crops. The less disturbed forested floodplain
along the right bank and some of the left bank of Carraway Creek (and the thin row along the Neuse River)
resembles a riverine swamp forest; however, due to croplands and ditching along the left bank of Carraway
Creek within the Project boundary, the natural hydrology and vegetation has been disturbed and displays
species more consistent with a mixed-mesic hardwood forest (Coastal Plain subtype). This area includes
trees and saplings such as red maple, Overcup oak, river birch, sweet bay, white oak (Quercus alba), bald
cypress (Taxodium distichum), pond cypress (Taxodium ascendens), persimmon (Diospyros virginiana), and
American elm (Ulmus americana). The herbaceous layer includes muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia), Virginia
creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), and false nettle (Boehmeria
cylindrica). Invasive species were noted in these areas and include mostly Japanese stilt-grass
(microstegium vimineum) and Chinaberry (Melia azedarach).
B. Riparian Vegetation
Carraway Bluff Project Area is comprised of the Neuse River, Carraway Creek, three unnamed stream
features (BH1, BH2, BH3 and BH4) and one ditch feature (D4). In general, the Project reaches do not
function to their full potential. Current conditions demonstrate significant habitat and water quality
degradation with a loss of stabilizing vegetation as a result of impacts from ongoing crop production and
forestry. Specifically, there were two main tracts of forest on the parcel that were cleared sometime in the
50s and were kept in agriculture through the 60’s and then again in January or February of 1998 and
(Figures 3a and 3b and Figure 2b). The timbering in 1998 would have been in violation of the Neuse
Buffer rules on subject streams.
Riparian vegetation conditions onsite currently consist of mature riparian forest and active row crops.
On the Neuse River, serving as the northernmost portion of the project, the riparian vegetation consists of
a narrow band of mature riparian vegetation, and active row crops. Additionally, there is a 20-foot-wide
sewer easement located within the riparian buffer that was delineated by a Subsurface Utility Engineering
(SUE) Manager using a Ground Penetrating Radar to delineate the easement (Figure 2A). The sewer
easement is within Zone 1 of the Riparian Buffer (Figure 9).
Carraway Creek, serving as the easternmost portion of the Project, consists of mature riparian area that
extends beyond the limits of the easement on its right bank. Mature riparian areas along the left bank are
narrow and abut active crop fields. Some areas along the left bank contain weedy, herbaceous vegetation
and little to no woody vegetation. There are localized areas along the left bank where eroded meander
bends have migrated into the adjacent agricultural fields. There were some areas along Carraway Creek
that were timbered in 1998 but they were not within the 50-foot Neuse Riparian Buffer at the time the
Buffer rules went into effect. From historical imagery (Figures 3a and 3b), it appears that the downstream
portion of Carraway Creek has widened and braided since the buffer rules went into effect from backwater
Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project Buffer Mitigation Plan
DMS Project #: 100186 8 September 2022
effects of the Neuse River, especially within the past 20 years with increased inundation from the Neuse
River during flooding events.
BH1, the stream on the western side of the project, consists of a modified natural stream and is channelized
and maintained to promote drainage for crop production. An unbuffered agricultural ditch, Ditch D3,
drains into the stream from the north; however, the ditch is too deep to be viable for buffer mitigation
according to 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o) (8) and is therefore excluded from our Project but will be contained
within the Bank Project. This area contains some mature trees along the top of bank but mainly consists
of small, planted woody vegetation along the left bank. Invasive species include Chinese privet and
Chinaberry. The upper most section of BH1 that flows North to South abuts a Conservation Easement of
recently closed out Caraway Creek Bank Parcel. The right bank however has no riparian buffer. The Neuse
Buffers on the right bank of BH1 at the top of the reach were impacted from timbering in 1998 and would
have been in violation of the Neuse Buffer Rules (Appendix A). Once the stream makes an abrupt turn to
the east through the crop fields, the reach has no riparian buffer on either bank. After about 200 feet, the
riparian buffers were not intact at the time the Neuse Buffer Rules went into effect as there was a cleared
road along the right bank of the stream from the top of bank out 40 – 50 feet that was mostly likely used
to maintain the stream. Generally, the stream banks of BH1 contain tall, herbaceous vegetation and little
to no woody vegetation. The current crop in production is soybean. Where BH1 enters the Carraway Creek
floodplain, the riparian area becomes sufficiently buffered through mature forest. However, portions of
buffer along this downstream portion of BH1 are not viable for buffer credit, due to timbering in 1998 that
would have been in violation of the Neuse Buffer Rules (Appendix A and Figure 5). In the forested area
at the most downstream limit of BH1, there are invasive species (Chinese privet) present along the.
BH2, the tributary stream on the western side of the project, like BH1, the reach is a modified natural
stream that has been channelized and maintained to promote drainage for crop production and flows
eastward through cropland until meeting the Carraway Creek floodplain. At the origin point until BH2 turns
abruptly right to cross the field, the left bank of BH2 abuts a Conservation Easement of recently closed out
Caraway Creek Bank Parcel. Both banks within the project area abut active crop fields, and the riparian
buffer condition is absent and devoid of trees or woody vegetation. Generally, stream banks contain
weedy, herbaceous vegetation and little to no woody vegetation. The current crop within the fields is
soybean. As the reach enters the Carraway Creek floodplain, the riparian area becomes sufficiently buffered
through mature forest, although the invasive species, Chinese privet, is present along the forest edge.
Similar to BH1, prior to the 1998 timbering the forested buffer of the Carraway Creek floodplain extended
further west, or upstream along BH2.
BH3, on the southern portion of the project, consists of a modified natural stream. BH3 has been
channelized and maintained to promote drainage for crop production and flows north through cropland
until the confluence with BH1. Both banks are surrounded by active crop fields and the riparian buffer
condition is absent. Stream banks contain some maintained, herbaceous vegetation and little to no woody
vegetation. BH3 flows east to west in the upstream section and then makes an abrupt turn north through
a collapsed culvert and continues flowing towards the confluence with BH1. Similar to BH1, the left bank
of BH3 was forested prior to the timbering in 1998, however this stream was considered not subject to the
buffer rules and therefore the timber activities were not a violation of the Neuse Buffer Rules.
Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project Buffer Mitigation Plan
DMS Project #: 100186 9 September 2022
BH4, on the most southern border of the project has an origin point outside of the project area where it
transitions from ditch to an intermittent stream and drains to Carraway Creek. Both sides of BH4 were
forested at baseline and then the left bank was timbered in 1998. The left bank is non forested agricultural
fields whereas the right bank remains forested. And similar to BH3, this stream was considered not subject
to the buffer rules and therefore was not a violation of the Neuse Buffer Rules.
D4, is a ditch feature on the western side of the project consists of weedy, herbaceous vegetation and
completely lacks a forested riparian area on the left bank. The right bank which is inside the existing
Caraway Creek Bank Parcel contains some larger trees but consists mostly of small, planted stems from
the adjacent closed out Caraway Creek Bank Parcel. The crop fields extend to the top of the left bank of
the feature.
The current land use and riparian vegetation conditions at the time of writing this final buffer mitigation
have remained unchanged since the site viability assessment conducted by DWR on July 29th, 2021.

2 REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS
2.1 Determination of Credits
This Project has the potential to generate up to 640,370.462 (14.70 acres) riparian buffer mitigation credits
within a 25.39-acre conservation easement as depicted in Figure 5. These will be derived from buffer
restoration and buffer preservation. The riparian buffer mitigation credits generated will service the Neuse
01 watershed, excluding the Falls Lake Watershed. Additionally, some of these buffer mitigation credits,
where viable, can be converted to nutrient offset credit which are regulated under the Nutrient Offset
Credit Trading Rule, 15A NCAC 02B .0703 (see Figure 8 and Table 4). The total potential buffer mitigation
credits that the Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project will generate and the detailed Project credit breakdown,
including buffer credits that are convertible to nutrient offset credit, utilizing the DWR “Project Credit Table
Template (Updated February 2022),” is presented in Table 4. In addition, Figure 8 depicts buffer
restoration areas that are convertible to nutrient offset credit. This total area that is convertible to nutrient
offset amounts to 271,534 ft2 (6.23 acres) which would deliver 14,227.45 lbs. of Nitrogen offset.
Furthermore, Figure 9 depicts riparian zones of 50, 100, and 200 feet from stream top of banks to
demonstrate width requirements for crediting. There are small areas along Carraway Creek that will be
included as Preservation Credits. The area of preservation credit within this buffer mitigation site shall
comprise of no more than 25 percent (25%) of the total area of buffer mitigation per 15A NCAC 0295 (o)(5)
as shown in Table 4.
Due to clearing within zone 1 and 2 of the Neuse Riparian Buffer of subject streams in areas along Carraway
Creek, BH1 and BH2 in early 1998, after the adoption of the Neuse River Basin Buffer Rule (15 NCAC 02B
.0714), restoration is not viable within a few small areas along these streams. To determine where these
areas are located, the historic top of bank, from 1997, of Carraway Creek, BH2 and BH1 was utilized to
determine the 50-ft Neuse Riparian Buffer and where clearing had occurred. These areas were also marked
and clearly defined in the site viability letter dated October 22nd and found in Appendix A. These areas
have been excluded from riparian buffer restoration crediting and can be seen in Figure 5. However, these
areas will be treated as riparian restoration areas and will be planted as such. An additional area has been
cut out of crediting along the Neuse River due to the location of a 20-foot-wide sewer easement that runs
parallel to the Neuse River. In accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (l)(4), since the sewer easement is
Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project Buffer Mitigation Plan
DMS Project #: 100186 12 September 2022
located within Zone 1, the area within the sewer easement will not be suitable for buffer mitigation credit.
The sewer easement will be maintained in the condition that meets the vegetative requirement of the
collection system permit.
Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project Buffer Mitigation Plan
DMS Project #: 100186 13 September 2022
Table 4. Carraway Bluff Project (DMS #: 100186) Riparian Buffer Mitigation Summary
Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project Buffer Mitigation Plan
DMS Project #: 100186 14 September 2022
There is one ditch within the Project easement area, D4 (Figure 5). This ditch is proposed for riparian buffer
restoration in accordance with the alternative mitigation option of Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule
15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(8) and the DWR site viability assessment (Appendix A). The ditch feature meets
criteria for riparian buffer restoration according to Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o) (8) in the following ways:
(A) D4 drains directly to reach BH2, an intermittent stream.
(B) The stream (BH2) and D4, including their confluence, will be protected by a contiguous, perpetual
conservation easement that will prevent any future maintenance or manipulation of the ditches.
(C) Stormwater runoff and overland flow drain toward the ditches.
(D) D4 is a maximum of 2.9 feet deep which is between one and three feet in depth (as measured
before and during the DWR buffer viability site visit).
(E) The entire length of each ditch has been in place prior to the effective date of the Neuse Buffer
Rule (see Figure 3b).
Additionally, the watershed (DA) draining to the ditch was delineated (Figure 6a) and determined to be at
least four times (multiplier of 4) larger than the restored area along their corresponding ditches, as
expressed in the following calculations:
• D4: (10.09 ac. DA) / (0.69 ac. restored area) = 14.62 multiplier
Although, another ditch feature (D3) enters the DMS project easement, it will be wholly encompassed in
the adjacent buffer mitigation and nutrient offset bank and therefore no non-diffused flow will enter the
project (Figure 5).
2.2 Other regulatory considerations
2.2.1 Environmental Screening and Documentation
Because DMS mitigation projects are a category of activities that do not individually or cumulatively have
an impact on the human environment, they do not require preparation of an environmental assessment
or environmental impact statement. To ensure that a project meets the “Categorical Exclusion” criteria, the
Federal Highways Administration (FHWA) and NCDMS have developed a categorical exclusion (CE)
checklist that is included as part of each mitigation project’s Environmental Screening process. The CE
Approval Form for the Carraway Bluff Project is included in Appendix C and was approved by DMS and
FHWA in May 2021.
2.2.2 Threatened and Endangered Species
Plants and animals with a federal classification of endangered or threatened are protected under provisions
of Sections 7 and 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. According to the United States
Fish and Wildlife Service’s (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPAC) database review tool
(accessed February 18th, 2021) and the self-certification process conducted by EBX and submitted to the
USFWS on March 25th, 2021, the list of threatened or endangered species includes the Red-cockaded
woodpecker (Picoides borealis). Two additional species on the list submitted to USFWS are newly listed,
the Neuse River Waterdog (Necturus lewisi) and the Carolina Madtom (Noturus Furiosus). The Carraway
Bluff Project does not contain any suitable habitat for the Red-cockaded woodpecker nor the Carolina
Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project Buffer Mitigation Plan
DMS Project #: 100186 15 September 2022
Madtom. The Project does contain suitable habitat for the Neuse River Waterdog. Overall, the project will
provide long term benefits to the species by providing additional forested and protected buffers. EBX
intendeds to avoid instream work where suitable habitat is located. Most of the work conducted on site
will involve tree planting, culvert removal, and minor bank stabilization.
A self-certification letter was sent to USFWS (on March 25th, 2021). The USFWS responded on April 5th,
2021 and stated “We don’t intended to officially respond back”. Thus, the certification letter (provided) is
their official response unless they do not concur with the determination. This consultation was conducted
as part of the CE process and supporting documentation and correspondence can be found in Appendix
C.
The Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act requires consultation with state fish and wildlife agencies when
“waters of any stream or other body of water are proposed or authorized, permitted or licensed to be
impounded, diverted or otherwise controlled or modified.” The North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) was consulted during the CE process and the NCWRC did not comment on any
state or federally listed species; however, they did recommend the use of biodegradable and wildlife-
friendly sediment and erosion control devices and to treat invasive species as part of the Project.
Documentation is included in Appendix C.
2.2.3 Cultural Resources
A review of North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) GIS Web Service (September 3, 2020)
database did not reveal any registered occurrences within the Project area; however, there was one
occurrence within a half-mile radius, Montague-Orton Farm. RES consulted with the SHPO during the CE
process and the SHPO had “conducted a review of the project and are aware of no historic resources which
would be affected by the project.” Cultural Resources screening met the Categorical Exclusion Criteria for
FHWA and DMS projects and documentation is included in Appendix C.
2.2.4 Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)/ Hydrologic Trespass
The entire Project, except for a small portion along the southern boundary, is in FEMA Zone AE and also
contains a FEMA regulatory floodway starting halfway up the proposed easement and continuing north
(3720259700K, 2018; Figure 10). FEMA mapping also shows a small .2% Chance Annual Flood zone at the
southern boundary of the Project. As the Project progresses, the implications of updating Culverts outside
of the Project Area will be considered and determined whether a No-Rise FEMA permit is needed. A
Floodplain Development Permit will be obtained from the Wayne County Floodplain Administrator prior
to construction to ensure the proposed project meets the requirements of the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP) and the community's floodplain management regulations.

3 RIPARIAN RESTORATION AND PRESERVATION
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Riparian restoration and preservation areas adjacent to streams are shown in Figure 5 and were
determined viable for credits by the DWR in the letter dated October 22, 2021(Appendix A).
3.1 Site Preparation
Preparation at the Project will involve spraying crops and exotic invasive species, soil amendments,
seeding, and planting. A seed mix will be chosen to maximize successful herbaceous growth in all riparian
areas while also incorporating valuable pollinator species. All riparian planting areas will be seeded using
a no-till drill prior to tree planting or broadcast seeding depending on season and conditions at the time
of seeding. Soil amendments will be provided across the entire planted area based on the results of soil
fertility tests. Temporary and permanent riparian seeding, bare root plantings, and live stakes shall be
planted according to the planting plan (Section 3.3).
The riparian restoration areas will be surveyed, and information will be provided in the As-Built report.
3.2 Methods
Riparian buffer mitigation activities will include restoration and preservation along streams and the viable
ditch feature. All restoration and preservation areas were determined by the mitigation determination
performed during the viability assessment by DWR (Appendix A).
3.2.1 Riparian Restoration Activities – stream channels and viable ditches
For stream channels, the Project will provide riparian buffer and surrounding area restoration in accordance
with the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (n). Restoration activities along stream
channels will begin from the tops of the proposed stream banks and extend a minimum of 50 feet from
the stream outward to a maximum of 200 feet perpendicular to the stream channel. Restoration will occur
where cropland is currently present. Specifically, reaches BH1, BH2, BH3, and BH4 a will include riparian
buffer restoration (Figure 5).
For the ditch feature, D4, the project will provide riparian buffer restoration in accordance with the
alternative mitigation option of Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(8). These
restoration activities will begin from the tops of the ditch bank and extend 50 feet perpendicular to the
ditch channel. All these riparian areas are currently cropland (Figure 2A).
As no work is proposed on neither the stream channels nor the ditch feature, the only restoration activities
will include the planting of bare root trees as described in Section 3.3 and the other activities mentioned
in Section 3. Additionally, this Project will be co-developed with a bank Caraway Bluff Phase II Bank Parcel
that will extend riparian buffer and riparian areas associated with this Project’s streams as well as
incorporate an additional ditch feature on the property. Therefore, riparian planting and site preparation
activities will extend beyond the limits of this Project’s boundaries.

Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project Buffer Mitigation Plan
DMS Project #: 100186 17 September 2022
3.2.2 Riparian Preservation Activities
Preservation will take place in limited forested areas within the Project where existing tree growth was
determined adequate, and in accordance with the alternative mitigation option of Consolidated Buffer
Mitigation Rules 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o) (4) and (5) and the DWR buffer viability assessment (Appendix
A). Specifically, along Carraway Creek contains forested areas that will be preserved (Figure 5). In addition,
preservation activities will include treating invasive species (Appendix D), specifically Chinese privet, and
the permanent protection of the riparian area from cutting, clearing, filling, grading, and similar activities
that would affect the functioning of the buffer through a conservation easement that will have clearly visible
easement markers and signs (see Section 3.4 for further description of the easement boundaries).
3.2.3 Other Activities
Other activities involved with the buffer mitigation component of the Project will include localized live
staking along the top of banks on stream features that are showing signs of instability. As part of the
Restoration activities, one culvert will be removed from the Project Area, and one will be updated outside
of the Project Area to ensure they are properly sized and functioning. Seeding and livestaking will occur
in the locations where the existing culverts are removed (Figure 5). On BH2, outside of the easement there
will be a timber mat bridge installed.
3.3 Planting Plan
All riparian restoration areas will be planted from top of bank back at least 50 feet from streams with bare
root tree seedlings on a nine by six-foot spacing to achieve an initial density of approximately 800 trees
per acre. The suite of bare root stems will be thoroughly mixed prior to planting to ensure maximum
diversity throughout the planted areas. These areas will also be seeded with an herbaceous seed mix to
provide rapid herbaceous cover and promote immediate buffer effectiveness as well as habitat for
pollinators and other wildlife. The seed blend will contain both temporary and permanent seed and will
include taproot species. The list of seed species to be sown and a proposed composition percentage of
the mix can be found in Table 6. The seed will be sown utilizing a no-till drill or broadcast depending on
season and conditions at the time of planting as well as easement closing. Planting will occur in all areas
proposed for riparian buffer restoration and will meet the performance standards outlined in the Rule 15A
NCAC 02B .0295. This includes treating invasive species and planting at least four species of native
hardwood bare root trees. Mixed-Mesic Hardwood Forest (Coastal Plain subtype) (Schafale 2012) will be
the target community type and will be used for all areas within the Project. This community composition
is highly diverse and is suitable given the Project’s soil and landscape characteristics and will provide water
quality and ecological benefits. The initial planting of bare root trees will occur before Spring 2023. The
list of bare root tree species to be planted and their percentage of total species composition can be found
in Table 5. A total of 10 species are proposed below, and a minimum of 7 species will be planted. Wherever
possible, mature vegetation will be preserved and incorporated into the buffer. Some areas adjacent to
the forested areas may require maintenance due to the rapid regeneration of some species, such as red
maple (Acer rubrum) and sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua). Additionally, the livestake plantings
mentioned above in Section 3.2.4 will consist of black willow (Salix nigra) and silky dogwood (Cornus

3.4 Easement Boundaries
Easement boundaries will be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between the Project and
adjacent properties. Boundaries may be identified by marker, bollard, post, tree-blazing, or other means
as allowed by Project conditions and/or conservation easement. Boundaries will be marked with signs
identifying the property as a mitigation project and will include the name of the long-term steward and a
contact number. Boundary markers disturbed, damaged, or destroyed will be repaired and/or replaced on
an as needed basis. The easement boundary will be checked annually as part of monitoring activities and
the conditions as well as any maintenance performed will be reported in the annual monitoring reports to
DWR.
Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project Buffer Mitigation Plan
DMS Project #: 100186 19 September 2022
Again, this Project will be codeveloped with a buffer mitigation and nutrient offset bank that will extend
riparian buffer areas associated with this Project’s streams as well as incorporate additional stream features
on the property. Therefore, there will be bank conservation easement boundaries extending beyond the
boundaries of this Project and will also be marked appropriately.

Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project Buffer Mitigation Plan
DMS Project #: 100186 20 September 2022
4 MONITORING PLAN
4.1 Monitoring Protocol and Success Criteria
Annual vegetation monitoring and visual assessments will be conducted. Riparian vegetation monitoring
where riparian buffer mitigation credits are being generated will be based on the “Carolina Vegetation
Survey-Ecosystem Enhancement Program Protocol for Recording Vegetation: Level 1-2 Plot Sampling Only
Version 4.2”. Annual vegetation monitoring will occur each year for a minimum of five years and will be
conducted during the fall season with the first year occurring at least 6 months from initial planting.
Monitoring plots will be installed a minimum of 100 meters squared in size and will cover at least two
percent of the planted mitigation area. The planted area is 17.61 acres, and there will be 14 vegetation
plots measuring riparian buffer mitigation success. These plots will be randomly placed throughout the
planted riparian restoration area and will be representative of the riparian community (Figure 11). The
following data will be recorded for all trees in the plots: species, height, planting date (or volunteer), and
grid location. All stems in plots will be flagged with flagging tape.
The measures of vegetative success for the Project will be the survival of at least four native hardwood tree
species, where no one species is greater than 50 percent of stems, at a density of at least 260 stems per
acre at the end of Year 5. Native volunteer species may be included to meet the performance standards
upon approval by DWR. Invasive and noxious species will be monitored and treated so that none become
dominant or alter the desired community structure of the site.
Photos will be taken from all photo points each monitoring year and provided in the annual reports. Visual
inspections and photos will be taken to ensure that applicable areas are being maintained and compliant.
A visual assessment of the conservation easement will also be performed each year to confirm:
• Easement markers are in good condition throughout the site;
• no encroachment has occurred;
• no invasive species occur in areas where invasive species were treated,
• diffuse flow is being maintained in the conservation easement areas; and
• there has not been any cutting, clearing, filling, grading, or similar activities that would negatively affect the functioning of the buffer.
A summary of project monitoring and maintenance activities can be found in Table 7.

DMS Project #: 100186 21 September 2022
Table 7. Summary of Project Monitoring and Maintenance Activities
Component/
Feature Monitoring Maintenance through project close-out
Vegetation Annual
vegetation
monitoring
Vegetation shall be maintained to ensure the health and vigor of the targeted
plant community. Routine vegetation maintenance and repair activities may
include supplemental planting, pruning, mulching, and fertilizing. Exotic
invasive plant species shall be treated by mechanical and/or chemical methods.
Any vegetation requiring herbicide application will be performed in accordance
with NC Department of Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations. Vegetation
maintenance activities will be documented and reported in annual monitoring
reports. Vegetation maintenance will continue through the monitoring period.
Invasive and
Nuisance Vegetation
Visual
Assessment
Invasive and noxious species will be monitored and treated so that none
become dominant or alter the desired community structure of the Project.
Locations of invasive and nuisance vegetation will be mapped. Also, see
Appendix D for more details.
Project Boundary Visual
Assessment
Project boundaries shall be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction
between the mitigation project and adjacent properties. Boundaries will be
marked with signs identifying the property as a mitigation project and will
include the name of the long-term steward and a contact number. Boundaries
may be identified by fence, marker, bollard, post, tree-blazing, or other means
as allowed by Project conditions and/or conservation easement. Boundary
markers disturbed, damaged, or destroyed will be repaired and/or replaced on
an as-needed basis. Easement monitoring and staking/ signage maintenance
will continue in perpetuity as a stewardship activity.

4.2 Adaptive Management Plan and Project Maintenance
Adaptive measures will be developed, or appropriate remedial actions taken if in the event that the project,
or a specific component of the project, fails to achieve the defined success criteria. DMS must approve all
adaptive management plans prior to submittal to DWR.
Remedial actions will be designed to achieve the success criteria specified in this Mitigation Plan, and will
include identification of the causes of failure, remedial design approach, work schedule, and monitoring
criteria that will consider physical and climatic conditions.
Initial plant maintenance may include a one-time mowing, prior to initial planting to remove undesirable
species. If mowing is deemed necessary by EBX during the monitoring period, EBX must first receive
approval by DMS and then by DWR prior to any mowing activities to ensure that no buffer violations will
be committed. Failure to receive approval to mow within the Neuse River buffer, as defined in 15A NCAC
02B .0714 by DWR, could result in Neuse River buffer violations and violations of the conservation
easement. If necessary, EBX will develop a species-specific control plan.

DMS Project #: 100186 22 September 2022
5 STEWARDSHIP
The Project will be transferred to the NCDEQ Stewardship Program. NCDEQ Stewardship Program shall
serve as the conservation easement holder and entity responsible for long term stewardship of the Project.
This party shall serve as conservation easement holder and long-term steward for the property and will
conduct periodic inspection of the Project to ensure that restrictions required in the conservation
easement are upheld. The NCDEQ Stewardship Program is developing an endowment system within the
non-reverting, interest-bearing Conservation Lands Conservation Fund Account. The use of funds from the
Endowment Account will be governed by North Carolina General Statute GS 113A-232(d)(3). Interest
gained by the endowment fund may be used for the purpose of stewardship, monitoring, stewardship
administration, and land transaction costs, if applicable.
The Stewardship Program will periodically install signage to identify boundary markings as needed. Any
associated fencing or permanent crossings will be the responsibility of the owner of the underlying fee to
maintain.

Re: Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset – Carraway Bluff Site
Near 35.330, -78.010 in Dudley, NC
Neuse 03020201
Wayne County

Dear Ms. McEachran,

On June 17, 2021, Katie Merritt, with the Division of Water Resources (DWR), received a request
from you on behalf of Environmental Banc & Exchange, LLC (EBX), a RES company, for a site
visit near the above-referenced site in the Neuse River Basin within the 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Code
03020201. The site visit was to determine the potential for riparian buffer mitigation and nutrient
offset within a proposed conservation easement boundary, which is more accurately depicted in the
attached map labeled “Figure 1-Exisiting Conditions ” (Figure 1) prepared by EBX. The proposed
easement boundary in Figure 1, includes all riparian areas intended to be proposed as part of a
mitigation site. On July 29, 2021, Ms. Merritt performed a site assessment of the subject site. Staff
with Wildlands were also present.

Ms. Merritt’s evaluation of the features onsite and their associated mitigation determination for the
riparian areas are provided in the table below. This evaluation was made from Top of Bank (TOB)
and landward 200’ from each feature for buffer mitigation pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295
(effective November 1, 2015) and for nutrient offset credits pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0703.

Determinations provided in the table above were made using a proposed easement boundary showing
proposed mitigation areas shown in Figure 1. The maps representing the proposal for the site are
attached to this letter and initialed by Ms. Merritt on October 22, 2021. Substantial changes to the
proposed easement boundary as well as any site constraints identified in this letter, could affect the
Site’s potential to generate buffer mitigation and nutrient offset credits.

This letter does not constitute an approval of this S ite to generate buffer and nutrient offset credits.
Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295, a mitigation proposal and a mitigation plan shall be submitted to
DWR for written approval prior to conducting any mitigation activities in riparian areas and/or
surface waters for buffer mitigation credit. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0703, a proposal regarding a
proposed nutrient load-reducing measure for nutrient offset credit shall be submitted to DWR for
approval prior to any mitigation activities in riparian areas and/or surface waters.

All vegetative plantings, performance criteria and other mitigation requirements for riparian
restoration, enhancement and preservation must follow the requirements in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 to
be eligible for buffer and/or nutrient offset mitigation credits. For any areas depicted as not being
viable for nutrient offset credit above, one could propose a different measure, along with supporting
calculations and sufficient detail to support estimates of load reduction, for review by the DWR to
determine viability for nutrient offset in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0703.

This viability assessment will expire on October 22, 2023 or upon approval of a mitigation plan
by the DWR, whichever comes first. This letter should be provided in any nutrient offset,
buffer, stream or wetland mitigation plan for this Site.

Please contact Katie Merritt at [phone] if you have any questions regarding this
correspondence.
Sincerely,

Paul Wojoski, Supervisor

*Ephemeral / Intermittent / Perennial / Ditch

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Howell,

The Division of Water Resources has determined that the streams listed as “subject” above and included on the attached map have been
located on the most recent published (1974) NRCS Soil Survey of Wayne County, North Carolina and/or the web based Digital USGS National
Topographic Map https://apps.nationalmap.gov/viewer/ and evaluated for applicability to the Neuse Riparian Buffer Rules. For each stream
that is checked “Not Subject” it has been determined to not be at least intermittent, not present on the property or not represented on the
most recent published (1974) NRCS Soil Survey of Wayne County, North Carolina and/or the web based Digital USGS National Topographic Map.
There may be other streams or features located on the property that were not assessed and/or that do not appear on the maps referenced
above but may be considered jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of Engineers and subject to the Clean Water Act. BH1 and BH2
determinations were made on 3/24/21. BH3, BH4 and D2 determinations made on 8/11/21.

IV. GRANTEE RESERVED USES

A. Right of Access, Construction, and Inspection. The Grantee, its employees, agents,
successors and assigns, shall have a perpetual Right of Access over and upon the Conservation
Easement Area to undertake or engage in any activities necessary to construct, maintain, manage,
enhance, repair, restore, protect, monitor and inspect the stream, wetland and any other riparian
resources in the Conservation Easement Area for the purposes set forth herein or any long-term
management plan for the Conservation Easement Area developed pursuant to this Conservation
Easement.
B. Restoration Activities. These activities include planting of trees, shrubs and herbaceous
vegetation, installation of monitoring wells, utilization of heavy equipment to grade, fill, and
prepare the soil, modification of the hydrology of the site, and installation of natural and manmade
materials as needed to direct in-stream, above ground, and subterraneous water flow.

C. Signs. The Grantee, its employees and agents, successors or assigns, shall be permitted to
place signs and witness posts on the Property to include any or all of the following: describe the
project, prohibited activities within the Conservation Easement, or identify the project boundaries
and the holder of the Conservation Easement.

D. Fences. Conservation Easements are purchased to protect the investments by the State
(Grantee) in natural resources. Livestock within conservations easements damages the investment
and can result in reductions in natural resource value and mitigation credits which would cause
financial harm to the State. Therefore, Landowners (Grantor) with livestock are required to restrict
livestock access to the Conservation Easement area. Repeated failure to do so may result in the
State (Grantee) repairing or installing livestock exclusion devices (fences) within the conservation
area for the purpose of restricting livestock access. In such cases, the landowner (Grantor) must
provide access to the State (Grantee) to make repairs.

NCDMS Full Delivery Conservation Easement Template AG reviewed 11 May 2017

Page 7 of 11

E. Crossing Area(s). The Grantee is not responsible for maintenance of crossing area(s),
however, the Grantee, its employees and agents, successors or assigns, reserve the right to repair
crossing area(s), at its sole discretion and to recover the cost of such repairs from the Grantor if
such repairs are needed as a result of activities of the Grantor, his successors or assigns.

V. ENFORCEMENT AND REMEDIES

A. Enforcement. To accomplish the purposes of this Conservation Easement, Grantee is
allowed to prevent any activity within the Conservation Easement Area that is inconsistent with
the purposes of this Conservation Easement and to require the restoration of such areas or features
in the Conservation Easement Area that may have been damaged by such unauthorized activity or
use. Upon any breach of the terms of this Conservation Easement by Grantor, the Grantee shall,
except as provided below, notify the Grantor in writing of such breach and the Grantor shall have
ninety (90) days after receipt of such notice to correct the damage caused by such breach. If the
breach and damage remains uncured after ninety (90) days, the Grantee may enforce this
Conservation Easement by bringing appropriate legal proceedings including an action to recover
damages, as well as injunctive and other relief. The Grantee shall also have the power and
authority, consistent with its statutory authority: (a) to prevent any impairment of the Conservation
Easement Area by acts which may be unlawful or in violation of this Conservation Easement; (b)
to otherwise preserve or protect its interest in the Property; or (c) to seek damages from any
appropriate person or entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee reserves the immediate
right, without notice, to obtain a temporary restraining order, injunctive or other appropriate relief,
if the breach is or would irreversibly or otherwise materially impair the benefits to be derived from
this Conservation Easement, and the Grantor and Grantee acknowledge that the damage would be
irreparable and remedies at law inadequate. The rights and remedies of the Grantee provided
hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, all other rights and remedies available to
Grantee in connection with this Conservation Easement.

B. Inspection. The Grantee, its employees and agents, successors and assigns, have the right,
with reasonable notice, to enter the Conservation Easement Area over the Property at reasonable
times for the purpose of inspection to determine whether the Grantor is complying with the terms,
conditions and restrictions of this Conservation Easement.

C. Acts Beyond Grantor’s Control. Nothing contained in this Conservation Easement shall
be construed to entitle Grantee to bring any action against Grantor for any injury or change in the
Conservation Easement Area caused by third parties, resulting from causes beyond the Grantor’s
control, including, without limitation, fire, flood, storm, and earth movement, or from any prudent
action taken in good faith by the Grantor under emergency conditions to prevent, abate, or mitigate
significant injury to life or damage to the Property resulting from such causes.

D. Costs of Enforcement. Beyond regular and typical monitoring expenses, any costs
incurred by Grantee in enforcing the terms of this Conservation Easement against Grantor,
including, without limitation, any costs of restoration necessitated by Grantor’s acts or omissions
in violation of the terms of this Conservation Easement, shall be borne by Grantor.

NCDMS Full Delivery Conservation Easement Template AG reviewed 11 May 2017

Page 8 of 11

E. No Waiver. Enforcement of this Easement shall be at the discretion of the Grantee and
any forbearance, delay or omission by Grantee to exercise its rights hereunder in the event of any
breach of any term set forth herein shall not be construed to be a waiver by Grantee.

VI. MISCELLANEOUS

A. This instrument sets forth the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the
Conservation Easement and supersedes all prior discussions, negotiations, understandings or
agreements relating to the Conservation Easement. If any provision is found to be invalid, the
remainder of the provisions of the Conservation Easement, and the application of such provision

the Reserved Rights.

C. Any notices shall be sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested to the
parties at their addresses shown herein or to other addresses as either party establishes in writing
upon notification to the other.

D. Grantor shall notify Grantee in writing of the name and address and any party to whom the
Property or any part thereof is to be transferred at or prior to the time said transfer is made. Grantor
further agrees that any subsequent lease, deed, or other legal instrument by which any interest in
the Property is conveyed is subject to the Conservation Easement herein created.

E. The Grantor and Grantee agree that the terms of this Conservation Easement shall survive
any merger of the fee and easement interests in the Property or any portion thereof.

F. This Conservation Easement and Right of Access may be amended, but only in writing
signed by all parties hereto, or their successors or assigns, if such amendment does not affect the
qualification of this Conservation Easement or the status of the Grantee under any applicable laws,
and is consistent with the purposes of the Conservation Easement. The owner of the Property shall
notify the State Property Office and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in writing sixty (60) days
prior to the initiation of any transfer of all or any part of the Property or of any request to void or

Categorical Exclusion Summary
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA)
The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA),
commonly known as Superfund, created a tax on the chemical and petroleum industries to clean
up abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous waste sites.
As a part of the environmental screening and CERCLA compliance, an EDR Radius Map Report
with Geocheck was ordered for the Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project through Environmental Data
Resources, Inc (EDR) on February 16, 2021. According to the EDR report, the project property was
identified to be within one mile of an underground storage tank incident. This facility was
established in 1967 by Hevi-Duty Electric and the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) disposal site was
approved by NCDEQ in 1976. The disposal area was used to contain PCB-contaminated soil and
debris in drums on site, just north of the manufacturing area. After the disposal site was
established, transformer oil spills occurred in July of 1981, January 1986, and March 1986.
Undocumented, pre-1976 releases are also known to have occurred on site. Site investigations
since 1981 have detected PCB-contamination in surface water and soils from on-site culverts and
ditches. PCBs have also been identified in on-site groundwater and air. This incident is still
undergoing annual inspections, to ensure site compliance.

In addition to the EDR search, a visual inspection of the Carraway Bluff project area was
conducted to assess the potential for the occurrence of recognized environmental conditions on
the property that might not have been revealed in the EDR report. The inspection was conducted
to locate and identify any obvious use, storage, or generation of hazardous materials. No
hazardous storage containers or substances were observed during the visual inspection.

STEPS IN THE PROCESSING THE FARMLAND AND CONVERSION IMPACT RATING FORM

Step 1 - Federal agencies (or Federally funded projects) involved in proposed projects that may convert farmland, as defined in the Farmland Protection Policy Act (FPPA)
to nonagricultural uses, will initially complete Parts I and III of the form. For Corridor type projects, the Federal agency shall use form NRCS-CPA-106 in place
of form AD-1006. The Land Evaluation and Site Assessment (LESA) process may also be accessed by visiting the FPPA website, http://fppa.nrcs.usda.gov/lesa/.

Step 2 - Originator (Federal Agency) will send one original copy of the form together with appropriate scaled maps indicating location(s)of project site(s), to the Natural
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) local Field Office or USDA Service Center and retain a copy for their files. (NRCS has offices in most counties in the
U.S. The USDA Office Information Locator may be found at http://offices.usda.gov/scripts/ndISAPI.dll/oip_public/USA_map, or the offices can usually be
found in the Phone Book under U.S. Government, Department of Agriculture. A list of field offices is available from the NRCS State Conservationist and State
Office in each State.)

Step 3 - NRCS will, within 10 working days after receipt of the completed form, make a determination as to whether the site(s) of the proposed project contains prime,
unique, statewide or local important farmland. (When a site visit or land evaluation system design is needed, NRCS will respond within 30 working days.

Step 4 - For sites where farmland covered by the FPPA will be converted by the proposed project, NRCS will complete Parts II, IV and V of the form.

Step 5 - NRCS will return the original copy of the form to the Federal agency involved in the project, and retain a file copy for NRCS records.

Step 6 - The Federal agency involved in the proposed project will complete Parts VI and VII of the form and return the form with the final selected site to the servicing
NRCS office.

Step 7 - The Federal agency providing financial or technical assistance to the proposed project will make a determination as to whether the proposed conversion is consistent
with the FPPA.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE FARMLAND CONVERSION IMPACT RATING FORM
(For Federal Agency)

Part I: When completing the "County and State" questions, list all the local governments that are responsible for local land
use controls where site(s) are to be evaluated.

Part III: When completing item B (Total Acres To Be Converted Indirectly), include the following:

1. Acres not being directly converted but that would no longer be capable of being farmed after the conversion, because the
conversion would restrict access to them or other major change in the ability to use the land for agriculture.
2. Acres planned to receive services from an infrastructure project as indicated in the project justification (e.g. highways,
utilities planned build out capacity) that will cause a direct conversion.

Part VI: Do not complete Part VI using the standard format if a State or Local site assessment is used. With local and NRCS
assistance, use the local Land Evaluation and Site Assessment (LESA).

1. Assign the maximum points for each site assessment criterion as shown in § 658.5(b) of CFR. In cases of corridor-type
project such as transportation, power line and flood control, criteria #5 and #6 will not apply and will, be weighted zero,
however, criterion #8 will be weighed a maximum of 25 points and criterion #11 a maximum of 25 points.

2. Federal agencies may assign relative weights among the 12 site assessment criteria other than those shown on the
FPPA rule after submitting individual agency FPPA policy for review and comment to NRCS. In all cases where other
weights are assigned, relative adjustments must be made to maintain the maximum total points at 160. For project sites
where the total points equal or exceed 160, consider alternative actions, as appropriate, that could reduce adverse
impacts (e.g. Alternative Sites, Modifications or Mitigation).

Part VII: In computing the "Total Site Assessment Points" where a State or local site assessment is used and the total
maximum number of points is other than 160, convert the site assessment points to a base of 160.
Example: if the Site Assessment maximum is 200 points, and the alternative Site "A" is rated 180 points:

For assistance in completing this form or FPPA process, contact the local NRCS Field Office or USDA Service Center.

NRCS employees, consult the FPPA Manual and/or policy for additional instructions to complete the AD-1006 form.

Total points assigned Site A 180
Maximum points possible 200 =X 160 = 144 points for Site A

GOVERNMENT RECORDS SEARCHED / DATA CURRENCY TRACKING
SEMS-ARCHIVE (Superfund Enterprise Management System Archive) tracks sites that have no further interest under
the Federal Superfund Program based on available information. The list was formerly known as the CERCLIS-NFRAP,
renamed to SEMS ARCHIVE by the EPA in 2015. EPA may perform a minimal level of assessment work at a site while
it is archived if site conditions change and/or new information becomes available. Archived sites have been removed
and archived from the inventory of SEMS sites. Archived status indicates that, to the best of EPA’s knowledge,
assessment at a site has been completed and that EPA has determined no further steps will be taken to list the
site on the National Priorities List (NPL), unless information indicates this decision was not appropriate or
other considerations require a recommendation for listing at a later time. The decision does not necessarily mean
that there is no hazard associated with a given site; it only means that. based upon available information, the
location is not judged to be potential NPL site.

US BROWNFIELDS: A Listing of Brownfields Sites
Brownfields are real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence
or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant. Cleaning up and reinvesting in these
properties takes development pressures off of undeveloped, open land, and both improves and protects the environment.
Assessment, Cleanup and Redevelopment Exchange System (ACRES) stores information reported by EPA Brownfields
grant recipients on brownfields properties assessed or cleaned up with grant funding as well as information on
Targeted Brownfields Assessments performed by EPA Regions. A listing of ACRES Brownfield sites is obtained from
Cleanups in My Community. Cleanups in My Community provides information on Brownfields properties for which information
is reported back to EPA, as well as areas served by Brownfields grant programs.

EPA WATCH LIST: EPA WATCH LIST
EPA maintains a "Watch List" to facilitate dialogue between EPA, state and local environmental agencies on enforcement
matters relating to facilities with alleged violations identified as either significant or high priority. Being
on the Watch List does not mean that the facility has actually violated the law only that an investigation by
EPA or a state or local environmental agency has led those organizations to allege that an unproven violation
has in fact occurred. Being on the Watch List does not represent a higher level of concern regarding the alleged
violations that were detected, but instead indicates cases requiring additional dialogue between EPA, state and
local agencies - primarily because of the length of time the alleged violation has gone unaddressed or unresolved.

contains a wide variety of sites. Some properties are heavily contaminated while others were contaminated but
have since been cleaned up. Still others have not been fully investigated yet, and may require little or no remediation.
Inclusion in the 2020 Universe does not necessarily imply failure on the part of a facility to meet its RCRA obligations.

When Congress passed the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, it required EPA to publish regulations and guidance
for chemical accident prevention at facilities using extremely hazardous substances. The Risk Management Program
Rule (RMP Rule) was written to implement Section 112(r) of these amendments. The rule, which built upon existing
industry codes and standards, requires companies of all sizes that use certain flammable and toxic substances
to develop a Risk Management Program, which includes a(n): Hazard assessment that details the potential effects
of an accidental release, an accident history of the last five years, and an evaluation of worst-case and alternative
accidental releases; Prevention program that includes safety precautions and maintenance, monitoring, and employee
training measures; and Emergency response program that spells out emergency health care, employee training measures
and procedures for informing the public and response agencies (e.g the fire department) should an accident occur.

EDR HIGH RISK HISTORICAL RECORDS
EDR Exclusive Records
EDR MGP: EDR Proprietary Manufactured Gas Plants
The EDR Proprietary Manufactured Gas Plant Database includes records of coal gas plants (manufactured gas plants)
compiled by EDR’s researchers. Manufactured gas sites were used in the United States from the 1800’s to 1950’s
to produce a gas that could be distributed and used as fuel. These plants used whale oil, rosin, coal, or a mixture
of coal, oil, and water that also produced a significant amount of waste. Many of the byproducts of the gas production,
such as coal tar (oily waste containing volatile and non-volatile chemicals), sludges, oils and other compounds
are potentially hazardous to human health and the environment. The byproduct from this process was frequently
disposed of directly at the plant site and can remain or spread slowly, serving as a continuous source of soil
and groundwater contamination.

Subject: AD-1006 Request for the Carraway Bluff Mitigation Projects in Wayne County
Dear Kristin May,
Resource Enviornmental Solutions (RES) requests review and comment from the Natural Resources Conservation Service
on any possible concerns that may emerge with respect to farmland resources including prime, unique, statewide or local
important farmland associated with the Carraway Bluff riparian buffer mitigation projects. The Carraway Bluff Project is
a NC Division of Mitigation Services (NCDMS) full-delivery project as depicted in the attached figures. Please note that
this request is in support of the development of the Categorical Exclusion (CE) and an Environmental Screening document
for the NCDMS portion of the Carraway Bluff Mitigaiton Project (Project).
The Project is in the Neuse River Basin within 14-digit Hydrologic Unit (HU) 03020201170060 and NC Division of Water
Resources (DWR) Sub-Basin 03-04-12. The proposed projects present the opportunity to restore, preserve, and protect in
perpetuity, up to 25.10 acres of riparian buffer in the Neuse River Basin. Coordinates for the site are as follows: 35.330, -
78.010.
An inventory of soils data was completed by RES utilizing Web Soil Survey to determine prime farmland classifications
for the proposed 25.09 acre conservation easement. Two soil map units in the project area are classified as prime farmland,
making up 17.2% of the site (Kalmia loamy sand, 0 to 2 percent slopes and Wickham sandy loam, 2 to 6 percent slopes).
Four soil map units are classified as prime farmland if drained, making up 60.3% of the site (Chewcla loam, Johns fine
sandy loam, Lumbee sandy loam, Torhunta loam). One soil map unit in the project area is classified as not prime farmland,
making up 22.5% of the site (Kinston loam).
Enclosed is Form AD-1006 with Parts I and III Completed and maps of the Carraway Bluff Site. We ask that you review
the site information and complete Parts II, IV, and V as required by NRCS. Please email (via [e-mail]), or mail your
reply to the our office on 3600 Glenwood Avenue, Suite 100, Raleigh, NC 27612.
We thank you in advance for your timely response and cooperation. Please feel free to contact me with any questions that
you may have concerning the extent of site disturbance associated with this project.

Dear Megan Engel;

The following information is in response to your request soliciting comments regarding the
Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project Site in Wayne County, NC.

Projects are subject to Farmland Protection Policy Act (FPPA) requirements if they may
irreversibly convert farmland (directly or indirectly) to nonagricultural use and are completed
by a Federal agency or with assistance from a Federal agency.

For the purpose of FPPA, farmland includes prime farmland, unique farmland, and land of
statewide or local importance. Farmland subject to FPPA requirements does not have to be
currently used for cropland. It can be forest land, pastureland, cropland, or other land, but
not water or urban built-up land. Farmland means prime or unique farmlands as defined in
section 1540(c)(1) of the Act or farmland that is determined by the appropriate state or unit
of local government agency or agencies with concurrence of the Secretary to be farmland of
statewide of local importance.

“Farmland'' does not include land already in or committed to urban development or water
storage. Farmland ``already in'' urban development or water storage includes all such land
with a density of 30 structures per 40-acre area. Farmland already in urban development
also includes lands identified as ``urbanized area'' (UA) on the Census Bureau Map, or as
urban area mapped with a ``tint overprint'' on the USGS topographical maps, or as ``urban-
built-up'' on the USDA Important Farmland Maps. See over for more information.

The area in question includes land classified as Prime Farmland. In accordance with the
Code of Federal Regulations 7CFR 658, Farmland Protection Policy Act, the CPA-106 was
initiated. NRCS Completed Parts II, IV, V of the form and returned for completion by the
requesting agency.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at [phone] office or (704) 754-
6734 cell.

Sincerely,

Kristin L May

Subject: Request for Environmental Information for the Caraway Bluff Buffer Mitigation Project,
Wayne County, North Carolina.

Ms. Engel,

Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed the
proposed project description. Comments are provided in accordance with certain provisions of the Clean
Water Act of 1977 (as amended), Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16
U.S.C. 661-667e) and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.).

In conjunction with the NC Division of Mitigation Services, Resource Environmental Solutions, LLC has
identified and developed the Caraway Bluff Buffer Mitigation Project. The 54.20-acre site will restore
and preserve riparian buffer in perpetuity. The project area consists of agriculture and forested lands and
is surrounded by agricultural and disturbed forested areas. This site is located northeast of the
intersection of Pecan and Genoa Roads, south of Goldsboro.

The project area drains to Caraway Creek in the Neuse River basin. Stream restoration projects often
improve water quality and aquatic habitat. Establishing native, forested buffers in riparian areas will
improve both aquatic and terrestrial habitats and provide a travel corridor for wildlife species.

In addition to stringent best management practices for erosion and sediment control during construction,
the NCWRC recommends the use of biodegradable and wildlife-friendly sediment and erosion control
devices. Silt fencing, fiber rolls and/or other products should have loose-weave netting that is made of
natural fiber materials with movable joints between the vertical and horizontal twines. Silt fencing and
similar products that have been reinforced with plastic or metal mesh should be avoided as they impede
the movement of terrestrial wildlife species. Excessive silt and sediment loads can have detrimental
effects on aquatic resources including destruction of spawning habitat, suffocation of eggs and clogging
of gills. Only native vegetation should be installed onsite and any invasive plant species found in or near
the project area should be removed and destroyed.

Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The species list generated pursuant to the information you provided identifies threatened,
endangered, proposed and candidate species, as well as proposed and final designated critical
habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and/or may be affected by
your proposed project. The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended
(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to
contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to
federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical
habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the
Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be
completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be
completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and
implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested
through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list.
Section 7 of the Act requires that all federal agencies (or their designated non-federal
representative), in consultation with the Service, insure that any action federally authorized,
funded, or carried out by such agencies is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any
federally-listed endangered or threatened species. A biological assessment or evaluation may be
prepared to fulfill that requirement and in determining whether additional consultation with the
Service is necessary. In addition to the federally-protected species list, information on the
species' life histories and habitats and information on completing a biological assessment or

evaluation and can be found on our web page at http://www.fws.gov/raleigh. Please check the
web site often for updated information or changes
If your project contains suitable habitat for any of the federally-listed species known to be
present within the county where your project occurs, the proposed action has the potential to
adversely affect those species. As such, we recommend that surveys be conducted to determine
the species' presence or absence within the project area. The use of North Carolina Natural
Heritage program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys.
If you determine that the proposed action may affect (i.e., likely to adversely affect or not likely
to adversely affect) a federally-protected species, you should notify this office with your
determination, the results of your surveys, survey methodologies, and an analysis of the effects
of the action on listed species, including consideration of direct, indirect, and cumulative effects,
before conducting any activities that might affect the species. If you determine that the proposed
action will have no effect (i.e., no beneficial or adverse, direct or indirect effect) on federally
listed species, then you are not required to contact our office for concurrence (unless an
Environmental Impact Statement is prepared). However, you should maintain a complete record
of the assessment, including steps leading to your determination of effect, the qualified personnel
conducting the assessment, habitat conditions, site photographs, and any other related articles.
Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require
development of an eagle conservation plan (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/
eagleBguidance.html). Additionally, wind energy projects should follow the wind energy
guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) for minimizing impacts to migratory birds and
bats.
Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects including communications
towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at: http://
www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/towers/towers.htm http://
www.towerkill.com and http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/
towers/comtow.html.
Not all Threatened and Endangered Species that occur in North Carolina are subject to section 7
consultation with the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service. Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon, sea
turtles,when in the water, and certain marine mammals are under purview of the National Marine
Fisheries Service. If your project occurs in marine, estuarine, or coastal river systems you should
also contact the National Marine Fisheries Service, http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/
We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages
Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project
planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Tracking Number in
the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project
that you submit to our office. If you have any questions or comments, please contact John Ellis

Hi Jamey,
John forwarded this email to me - I am the POC for most mitigation reviews in Eastern NC. I
have the Carraway Project in my inbox for review.
I appreciate the inclusion of a BA and I hope the RRP BA template is helpful. Please note that
the BA template is not required, but it's an option provided to streamline formal consultation
(if the project is likely to adversely affect to a species). You are welcome to use it for any
projects you like. I was wondering if FHWA has required that you use it? I'm attaching the
guidance document and Q & A document associated with the BA template, if you haven't seen
them.
I understand the difficulty in making determinations and figuring out stressors. We have been
getting lots of questions lately. Our office is working on more specific guidance for
determining suitable habitat, making determinations, and other aspects of T&E consultation
for aquatic species. We are also working on determination keys for IPAC and the Corps, and
that should help. But for now, we do not have an encyclopedia of stressors for each species.
What we do have are Species Status Assessment (SSA) documents for several of our species,
including the newly listed or proposed aquatic species (NRWD, Atlantic pigtoe, Yellow lance,
and Carolina madtom). Those documents are available on our website or
at https://ecos.fws.gov/, along with listing documents and recovery plans for many of our
listed species. These documents contain species-specific information on biology, habitat
requirements, and stressors/threats. You can use some of that language for your
consultation submittals. Unfortunately, I think that most consultants will have no choice but
to learn more about each species, its life history and habitat requirements, and common
stressors.
As for the Carraway project, my thoughts are this: The site is within the same 10-digit HUC as
NRWD records (and historic Carolina madtom records), and NRWD proposed critical habitat is
just downstream in the Neuse River. Your company determined that Carraway Creek has
suitable habitat, but the biologist didn't see any NRWD in the stream in August. NRWD are
best surveyed in the middle of winter (January and February), and they are a secretive
species. They should be surveyed using non-lethal baited traps. So, unless the stream was
thoroughly surveyed using appropriate methods during the appropriate survey season, the
Service is unlikely to agree that the species is not present. We would recommend that the
species be assumed present in this case. The BA that was submitted makes a determination
of "May affect, not likely to adversely affect" (MANLAA) for NRWD (although I think in one
spot it says No effect), which I think is appropriate, even if work is not being conducted in the
stream.
As discussed in the SSA for NRWD, sedimentation and lowering of DO from development are
the biggest stressors for this species. Sedimentation is one of the biggest stressors for all our
listed and proposed aquatic species. Culvert replacement upstream may cause some
sedimentation in the suitable habitat portions of the site, and we can't rule out NRWD from
the field work. Also, there are concerns for sedimentation downstream in the Neuse in
proposed critical habitat. So, MANLAA is a safe choice for a determination. MANLAA can also
mean that there are benefits to the species, and I would think that the NRWD would benefit
from this project. If you are truly only planting trees in the buffer, not doing earth-moving
activities or other things that may cause sedimentation and erosion, then the effects to the
species are probably all beneficial. If you are wondering how to list stressors for work
upstream of a record or critical habitat, I think it is appropriate to say, for example, that
sedimentation or erosion from the site is possible. Then in the conservation measure section
you can talk about how you are going to avoid and/or minimize any sedimentation or erosion
from activities on the site. Although it hopefully is a given that all site developers will use
stringent sediment controls, it is helpful to us if you provide some information in the
"conservation measures" section of the BA template (or in any other documentation you
submit) to generally describe how in-stream or downstream impacts are going to be avoided
(commitment to stringent sediment and erosion controls, working in the dry, preserving
existing buffers, etc.). Any info you can provide on the activity and how impacts to suitable
habitat will be avoided or minimized would be helpful for us to be able to agree with a
MANLAA determination.
No effect literally means no effect at all. For the other species that may be ok if there are no
records within the 10-digit HUC. However, the other aquatic species have a similar sensitivity
to sedimentation as NRWD, and would also benefit from the project, so MANLAA would be
fine for all of them, too. Carolina madtom is a little more difficult, because you have suitable
habitat downstream in the Neuse and historic records in the 10-digit HUC, but no current
records near the project. I think it could go either way, but I think we would recommend
MANLAA for the madtom too, to cover the FHWA in case there are sedimentation issues from
the project. If you are only planting trees, and there is no suitable habitat on the site, then
No Effect is appropriate.
There are probably lots of other scenarios that you can imagine for a mitigation site in or near
a species record, so if you have other questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me or
John - we have been fielding alot of these questions lately and will be happy to talk them out
with you.
I hope this is helpful. Have a good weekend.
Please note that I am teleworking almost exclusively. Email is the best way to reach me.

Hello Mr. Ellis,
We are working through the Cat Ex Checklist for a Riparian Buffer Restoration Project with the NC
Division of Mitigation Services Full Delivery Projects under the Federal Highway Administration
obligations. We will be doing this same process for 5 projects in the area so I wanted to make sure
we were completing the new Biological Assessment correctly. The biggest area that I had questions
on when our team was filling it out is the section that asks for identification of stressors for
particular activities. We are mostly planting trees but on some sites will be removing or replacing
culverts in ditches/streams.
Do you have a dictionary or help document on certain activities and what type of stressor you would
envision? I could see it either being nothing or a long list of potentials. Especially when there is not
suitable habitat on site for any of the listed species.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jamey

RE: Carraway Bluff
Dear Matthew DeAngelo:
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural
communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project
boundary. These results are presented in the attached ‘Documented Occurrences’ tables and map.
The attached ‘Potential Occurrences’ table summarizes rare species and natural communities that
have been documented within a one-mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these
records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area
if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one-mile
radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report.
If a Federally-listed species is documented within the project area or indicated within a one-mile
radius of the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) for guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here:
https://www.fws.gov/offices/Directory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation
planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria
for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published
without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information
source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission.
Also please note that the NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional
correspondence if a Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Land and Water Fund
easement, or an occurrence of a Federally-listed species is documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact Rodney A. Butler at [e-mail] or 919-707-8603.
Sincerely,

There are no documented element occurrences (of medium to very high accuracy) that intersect with the project area. Please note, however, that although the
NCNHP database does not show records for rare species within the project area, it does not necessarily mean that they are not present; it may simply mean that
the area has not been surveyed. The use of Natural Heritage Program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys if needed, particularly if the project
area contains suitable habitat for rare species. If rare species are found, the NCNHP would appreciate receiving this information so that we may update our
database.

Re: Carraway Mitigation Project

Mr. and Mrs. Howell:
As part of the environmental documentation process in preparation for the stream mitigation project
on your property, this letter is to inform you of provisions in the Federal Highway Administration
Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended,
referred to as the Uniform Act.
The Uniform Act requires that we inform you in writing that this conservation easement transaction
is voluntary and that the project is being developed by Environmental Banc & Exchange, LLC for
the North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services (NCDMS). Neither EBX nor NCDMS have the
authority to acquire the property by eminent domain. In addition, EBX believes that the agreed
purchase price for the conservation easement area represents the fair market value.
This letter is for your information, and you do not need to respond. As always, please feel free to
call me at 919-302-2324 with any questions.
Sincerely,
Kenton Beal
Land Representative

Appendix D
Invasive Species

INVASIVE SPECIES PLAN
Annual monitoring and semi-annual site visits will be conducted to assess the condition of the finished
project. These site inspections may identify the presence of invasive vegetation. RES will treat invasive
species vegetation within the project area and provide remedial action on a case by- case basis. Common
invasive species vegetation found onsite, such as Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), Chinaberry (Melia
azedarach), and kudzu (Pueraria montana), will be treated to allow native plants to become established
within the conservation easement. Invasive species vegetation will be treated by approved mechanical
and/or chemical methods such that the percent composition of exotic/invasive species is less than 5% of
the total riparian buffer area. Any control methods requiring herbicide application will be performed in
accordance with NC Department of Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations. Additionally, some stream
reaches contain dense thickets of greenbriers and grape vines along their banks that have the potential to
become a nuisance; therefore, some of these areas may be thinned and/or removed mechanically if there
is a threat to planted vegetation. If areas of invasive species exist within the easement, they will be
monitored yearly as part of the monitoring protocol and treated if necessary. If required, problem areas will
continue to be treated until the project easement shows overall trending towards meeting all monitoring
requirements.
