The Sponsor may use the 4.42acres (192,368ft)of riparian restoration generated on the non-forested
pasture for either Neuse riparian buffer credits or Nitrogen nutrient offset credits, but not both. The
Sponsor must submit a written request and receive written approval from DWR prior to any credit
conversions and transfers to the buffer and nutrient offset credit ledgers. With each conversion and
transfer request submitted to the DWR, the Sponsor will provide all updated credit ledgers showing all
transactions that have occurred up to the date of therequest.
1.4Riparian Restorationand EnhancementApproach
The land uses adjacent to the streams purposed for buffer restoration and enhancement wereprimarily
composed of forested and non-forested pasture which weregrazed by livestock, but also included,row-
crops, maintained lawns, and hardwood forests.
Restoration activities based on the design approach includedmeandering the channel within the natural
valley, backfilling the existing stream, reconnecting the channel to its floodplain, removing the existing
dam embankment (the pond) and restoring hydrology to historically drained wetlands. Diffuseflow is
maintained throughout the mitigated riparian areas.
Enhancement also occursin areas of grazing adjacent to the stream in accordance with the Consolidated
Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(6). RES installedcattle exclusion fencing in all riparian
areas where enhancement credit under this part of the rule is being requested to exclude access to riparian
areas and their associated streams.All fencing wasinstalled to NRCS specifications.
All riparian restoration areas wereplanted from top of bank back at least 50 feet from the stream with bare
root tree seedlings on an eight by eight foot spacing to achieve an initial density of 680 trees per acre. Bank
planting and stabilization also incorporatesthe use of a riparian seed mix and temporary ground cover to
prevent erosion after construction. The buffered channels provide water quality and habitat functions within
the sensitive Neuse River watershed, such as nutrient and sediment removal, filtration of runoff, and
improved aquatic and terrestrial habitat. Some areas adjacent to the forested areas may require maintenance

1 Project Summary
1.1Project Location and Description
EBX–Neuse I, LLC, an entity of Resource Environmental Solutions (RES), is pleased to provide this
Monitoring Report for the Meadow Spring Riparian Buffer & Nutrient Offset Mitigation Bank
(Parcel). This Parcel was 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 Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC – 03020201). In addition, it provides nutrient offset credits in
the 03020201 HUC, excluding the Falls Lake Watershed, for existing and proposed development
requiring such mitigation. This Bank Parcel Development Package (BPDP) is in accordance with
the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295, 15A NCAC 02B .0240 and the RES
Neuse Umbrella Mitigation Banking Instrument for Riparian Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset
Credits (UMBI), made and entered into by EBX-Neuse I, LLC acting as the Bank Sponsor (Sponsor),
and the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality-Division of Water Resources (DWR).
Supporting figures can be found in Appendix A. The BPDP was also designed in concurrence with
Meadow Spring Stream Mitigation Site in the Neu-Con Stream and Wetland Umbrella Mitigation
Bank (SAW# 2016-01989). The mitigation plan for the Meadow Spring Stream & Wetland
Mitigation Bank was approved by the Interagency Review Team (IRT) and constructed in May
2019.

The Meadow Spring Parcel is located in Johnston County approximately three miles north of
Smithfield, North Carolina (Figure 1). The Parcel is located within Neuse River Basin USGS 14-digit
HUC 03020201100050, a Targeted Local Watershed, and DWR Subbasin Number 03-04-02. To
access the Site head East on NC 70 from the Town of Wilson Mills and turn right onto Wilson Mills
Road and head south for approximately 1.5 miles. The coordinates of the site are 35.5437°N and
- 78.3303°W.

When combining the Meadow Spring Stream & Wetland Mitigation Bank with the Meadow Spring
Riparian Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset Bank, the conservation easement totals
approximately 60.93 acres and includes three unnamed tributaries to the Neuse River. The Parcel
is located in an area formerly dominated by agricultural fields, cattle pastures and wooded areas.
The majority of the Parcel was grazed pasture and disturbed riparian forest. Additional land use
practices included the maintenance and removal of riparian vegetation and the relocation,
dredging and straightening of onsite streams that resulted in degraded water quality and unstable
channel characteristics. The Parcel also contained an agricultural pond that was in place for over
40 years.

The Meadow Spring Stream Mitigation Site was built to provide stream enhancement and
restoration on approximately 7,392 linear feet of streams and wetland restoration and
enhancement on approximately 36.51 acres of wetlands, to generate 14.41 wetland mitigation
units, within the conservation easement through a separate mitigation banking instrument with
the IRT. The Meadow Spring Bank Parcel was built to restore and enhance stream systems with
their adjacent riparian buffers and their functions and values to compensate, in appropriate
Meadow Spring 1 Year 4 Monitoring Report
Mitigation Site November 2022

circumstances, for unavoidable riparian buffer impacts and nutrient load reduction requirements.
DWR staff performed an onsite viability assessment for buffer mitigation and nutrient offset on
October 18, 2016 and approved the BPDP in May 2018.

1.2Project Success Criteria
Annual vegetation monitoring will occur each year for a minimum of five (5) years and will be
conducted during the fall season with the first year occurring at least five months from initial
2
planting. Six vegetation monitoring plots were installed a minimum of 100 m
in size and cover at
least two percent of the riparian restoration area. Plots were randomly placed throughout the
planted Neuse buffer zones and nutrient offset mitigation area and are representative of the
crediting areas. The following data will be recorded for all trees in the plots: species, common
name, height, planting date (or volunteer), and grid location. All stems in plots will be flagged with
flagging tape. Photos are to 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 enhancement areas
are being maintained and compliant. The measures of vegetative success for the Parcel will be the
survival of at least 4 native hardwood tree species, where no one species is greater than 50 percent
of the established stems, established at a density of at least 260 planted trees per acre at the end
of Year 5. Native volunteer species may be included to meet the performance standards upon
DWR approval. Invasive and noxious species will be monitored and treated so that none become
dominant or alter the desired community structure of the site.
A visual assessment of the cattle exclusion areas within the conservation easement will also be
performed each year to confirm:
Fencing is in good condition throughout the site;
no cattle access within the conservation easement area;
no encroachment has occurred;
diffuse flow is being maintained in the conservation easement area;
and
there has not been any cutting, clearing, filling, grading, or similar activities that
would negatively affect the functioning of the buffer.

RES must monitor the stream mitigation bank for a minimum of seven years, or until IRT approval.
Therefore, plots placed within riparian restoration areas that are outside of the mitigation area for
buffer and nutrient offset credits will be monitored in accordance with the monitoring protocol in
the Meadow Spring Stream Mitigation Plan.

1.3Project Components

This Bank generates approximately 4.42 acres (192,368 ft) of riparian buffer restoration credits on
2
existing non-forested pasture, 1.79 acres (26,805 ft) of buffer enhancement credits via cattle
exclusion, and 1.88 acres (4,271 lbs) of nitrogen nutrient offset credits. The slight increase in credits
is due to a more accurate treeline survey being used to determine as-built areas. The riparian
buffer mitigation credits generated service Neuse buffer impacts within the USGS 8-digit HUC
Meadow Spring 2 Year 4 Monitoring Report
Mitigation Site November 2022

03020201 of the Neuse River Basin. The Nitrogen nutrient offsets generated service nutrient load
reduction requirements where payments are authorized in 15A NCAC 02B .0240 within the USGS
8-digit HUC 03020201, excluding the Falls Lake Watershed. The Sponsor maintains three credit
ledgers. One ledger accounts for buffer Restoration credits, one ledger accounts for buffer
Enhancement credits, and one accounts for Nitrogen nutrient offset credits. All mitigation credit
assets shall be shown on these credit ledgers. The total potential mitigation credits that the
Meadow Spring Bank generates are summarized in the table below.

The Sponsor may use the 4.42 acres (192,368 ft) of riparian restoration generated on the non-
forested pasture for either Neuse riparian buffer credits or Nitrogen nutrient offset credits, but
not both. The Sponsor must submit a written request and receive written approval from DWR
prior to any credit conversions and transfers to the buffer and nutrient offset credit ledgers. With
each conversion and transfer request submitted to the DWR, the Sponsor will provide all updated
credit ledgers showing all transactions that have occurred up to the date of the request.

1.4Riparian Restorationand EnhancementApproach
The land uses adjacent to the streams purposed for buffer restoration and enhancement were
primarily composed of forested and non-forested pasture which were grazed by livestock, but
also included, row-crops, maintained lawns, and hardwood forests.

Restoration activities based on the design approach included meandering the channel within the
natural valley, backfilling the existing stream, reconnecting the channel to its floodplain, removing
Meadow Spring 3 Year 4 Monitoring Report
Mitigation Site November 2022

the existing dam embankment (the pond) and restoring hydrology to historically drained
wetlands. Diffuse flow is maintained throughout the mitigated riparian areas.

Enhancement also occurs in areas of grazing adjacent to the stream in accordance with the
Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(6). RES installed cattle exclusion
fencing in all riparian areas where enhancement credit under this part of the rule is being
requested to exclude access to riparian areas and their associated streams. All fencing was
installed to NRCS specifications.

All riparian restoration areas were planted from top of bank back at least 50 feet from the stream
with bare root tree seedlings on an eight by eight foot spacing to achieve an initial density of 680
trees per acre. Bank planting and stabilization also incorporates the use of a riparian seed mix and
temporary ground cover to prevent erosion after construction. The buffered channels provide
water quality and habitat functions within the sensitive Neuse River watershed, such as nutrient
and sediment removal, filtration of runoff, and improved aquatic and terrestrial habitat. 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).
1.5Construction and As-Built Conditions
Revegetation of the Site included treating invasive species and planting native hardwood bare
root trees. Prior to planting, RES prepped the site by spraying and ripping the easement. Coastal
Plain Small Stream Swamp is the target community type and was used for all areas within the
project. The community is defined by Schafale (2012). The planting of bare root trees occurred in
May and June 2019. Deviations from the initial planting plan were due to bare root availability. A
list of the planted species can be found in Table 2.
Stream construction activities were completed in June 2019. The site was constructed in
accordance with the Approved Mitigation Plan and associated permits. RES acquired 404 (SAW-
2016-01989), 401 (DWR # 16-0980), and NPDES Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (JC#18-097-
P; Figure 4) Permits. There were no easement changes between the submittal of the BPDP
Approval and the construction of the site. The conservation easement is marked every 150-200
feet with North Carolina Wildlife Habitat Foundation signs attached to either fences or t-posts.
Fences were installed in areas where livestock were present, and t-posts are used as physical
barriers where livestock are not present.

1.6Year 4Monitoring Performance
The Meadow Spring Year 4 monitoring activities were completed in October 2022. All Year 4
Monitoring (MY4) data is present below and in the appendices. The Site is on track to meet interim
success criteria.

Monitoring of the six fixed vegetation plots was completed during October 2022. Vegetation
tables are in Appendix B and associated photos are in Appendix C. MY4 monitoring data
Meadow Spring 4 Year 4 Monitoring Report
Mitigation Site November 2022

indicates that all six plots located in buffer/nutrient crediting areas are exceeding the interim
success criteria of 320 planted stems per acre. Planted stem densities ranged from 607 to 850
planted stems per acre with a mean of 769 planted stems per acre across all plots. A total of 17
species were documented within the plots. Volunteer species were observed in five out of six plots.
The average tree height observed was 6.7 feet. Stem vigor was between good (3) and excellent
(4) throughout much of the plots, with a few areas impacted by deer browse or early leaf drop,
which rated as having fair vigor (2).

Visual assessment of vegetation outside of the monitoring plots indicates that the herbaceous
vegetation is becoming well established throughout the project. A small bare area (~0.10 ac.)
along the right bank of S6-A, observed in February 2022, was supplementally livestaked with black
willow (Salix nigra) and silky dogwood (Cornus amomum) on March 2, 2022 (Figure 2). All of the
fencing was in good condition and there was no evidence of cattle in the easement. There was no
encroachment observed or similar activities that would negatively affect the functioning of the
buffer. An area of past encroachment was checked, showing proper signage and no continued
encroachment (Appendix C). Diffuse flow was also maintained throughout the conservation
easement area. A few small areas of re-sprouted Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) were observed
in the wetland crediting areas of the easement ( yellow crosshatch on Figure 2). Treatments took
place in 2021 and will continue to take place as needed throughout the monitoring period.
Loblolly pines (Pinus taeda) were noted in small, but dense patches along the eastern portion of
the Project (orange crosshatch on Figure 2). These areas will be monitored in following years to
determine whether treatment will be necessary; currently, there are no signs that the pines are
outcompeting planted trees.

2 Methods
Vegetation success is being monitored at six fixed monitoring plots. Vegetation plot monitoring
follows the CVS-EEP Level 2 Protocol for Recording Vegetation, version 4.2 (Lee et al. 2008) and
includes analysis of species composition and density of planted species. Data is processed using
the CVS data entry tool. In the field, the four corners of each plot were permanently marked with
PVC at the origin and metal conduit at the other corners. Photos of each plot are to be taken from
the origin each monitoring year.
