1.0Introduction
1.1 Project Description
The Perry Hill II Mitigation Bank Parcel (Parcel) is part of Wildlands Holdings V, LLC, (Sponsor) Perry Hill II
Mitigation Bank (Bank). The project includes headwater systems that flow directly to Corporation Lake, a
water supply reservoir on the Eno River which subsequently flows into Falls Lake and eventually into the
Neuse River. The purpose of the Parcel is to provide riparian buffer and nutrient offset mitigation credits
to compensate for unavoidable impacts in the Neuse River Basin 03020201 Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC)
within the Falls Lake Watershed. The Bank service area is depicted in Figure 2.
Prior to construction, the Parcel consisted of active pasture used for cattle grazing and some woodlands.
Cattle had access to all streams prior to Site implementation. In general, this area has maintained its
rural, farming character over the last 81 years with only minor changes in land cover. The Parcel was
restored to provide ecological and water quality enhancements to the Neuse River Basin by creating a
functional riparian corridor and restoring the riparian buffer. Originally 15.52 acres were protected
along the project features by the Parcel’s permanent conservation easement. A conservation easement
was recorded on the Parcel in October 2020.
In October 2021, waterlines were installed incorrectly by the tenant farmer within the Parcel’s easement
boundary. After consultation with NCDWR, Wildlands and UP2Save LLC, the long-term steward of the
site, decided that the appropriate solution was to release the area containing the waterlines from the
conservation easement. This will prevent any further easement encroachments due to maintenance of
the waterlines. Approximately 0.1 acres are to be released from the easement, leaving 15.42 acres still
protected under the conservation easement. Project credits have been reduced accordingly. A
preliminary updated conservation easement plat and an updated credit table are included in Appendix
F. Wildlands is currently working with a surveyor to mark and record the updated plat. The updated plat
and release document will be submitted to NCDWR once they are recorded with the Orange County
Register of Deeds.
1.2 Bank Sponsor
The Perry Hill II Mitigation Parcel is part of the Bank. The Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI) for the
Bank was signed in October 2020.

1.4 Project Location
The Parcel is located in Orange County, approximately 3 miles northwest of Hillsborough, NC (Figure 1).
The Parcel is located within the Neuse River Basin 14-digit HUC 03020201030020 and DWR Subbasin 03-
04-01. The Parcel was restored for riparian buffer mitigation credit and nutrient offset credits in the
Neuse River Basin HUC 03020201 within the Falls Lake Watershed (Figure 2).
To reach the Parcel, traveling west on I40/85 from Raleigh/Durham, follow I40/85 to exit 161 for US-70
Connector North. Take a right at the bottom of the ramp and continue onto US-70 East (1.0 mile) via US-
70 Connector North. Continue on US-70E (1.9 miles) before taking a left onto Faucette Mill Road.
Continue (1.9 miles) and take a sight right onto Frank Perry Road. The Parcel will be on right (0.5 miles).
1.5 Project Design
Based on the preliminary updated conservation easement plat, included in Appendix F, approximately
15.42 acres are protected under a conservation easement and the Parcel is expected to generate 0.76
acres of Neuse riparian buffer, 1.05 acres of enhancement via cattle exclusion, and 13.46 acres of
nutrient offset credits. No credit is claimed on 0.15 acres due to distance from project features. Parcel
credit generation is illustrated in Figure 3. The revegetation plan for the Parcel included planting of bare
root trees and controlling invasive species growth. Bare root and live stake trees selected for the Parcel
were native riparian, wetland, and upland species typical for piedmont communities as defined by
Schafale and Weakley (1990). Adjacent forested areas were also used as a reference for the Parcel. Tree
species selected for planting on the Parcel as well as size specifications, planting density, and plant
composition are detailed in Table 2.

2.0Vegetation Monitoring
2.1 Success Criteria
Buffer vegetative success criteria are based upon the density and growth of Character Tree species as
defined in Tables 2 & 3. Vegetative success criteria arebased upon guidelines set forth in the
Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (effective November 1, 2015) and is defined as
a success rate equivalent to 260 live stems per acre at the end of the 5-year monitoring period.
If vegetative success criteria are not achieved based on acreage density calculations from combined
monitoring plots over the entire restoration area, or if an inspection of a buffer restoration site indicates
that portions of the Parcel do not have sufficient stem densities or are otherwise deficient,
supplemental planting shall be performed with tree species approved by NCDWR. Supplemental
Perry Hill II Mitigation Bank Parcel Page 3
Monitoring Year 2 Report
planting shall be performed as needed until vegetative success criteria are met. No quantitative
measurements of herb assemblages will be required to meet the vegetative success criteria.
2.2 Description of Species and Monitoring Protocol
The quantity of monitoring plots was determined in accordance with the Carolina Vegetative Sampling
(CVS) Protocols (Level II) such that at least 2 percent of the Site is encompassed in monitoring plots. A
total of 11 plots (10 meters by 10 meters) were established within the credit generation area. PVC pipe
was used to mark the four corners of the plots. Monitoring plot locations are shown in Figure 4. GPS
points were taken at each of the corners. A reference photo was taken from the southwest corner of
each plot (Appendix D). All planted stems within the plots were marked with flagging tape and recorded.
Total numbers of tree species planted within the monitoring plots as well as planting density and plant
composition are detailed in Table 4.

2.3 Results of Vegetation Monitoring
The 11 vegetation plots were sampled in September 2022 at the end of the growing season. A reference
photo was taken from the southwest corner of each plot, which can be found in Appendix D along with
the stem count raw data. Total numbers of tree species identified within the monitoring plots as well as
density and composition are summarized in Table 5. Vegetation result tables with planted stem density,
and stem count by plot and species are summarized in Appendix C.
The 2022 vegetation monitoring resulted in an average planted stem density of 475 stems per acre,
which is well above the final requirement of 260 stems per acre. All vegetation plots individually exceed
the final stem density requirement by more than ten percent; with planted stems per acre ranging from
405 to 607. No one species comprises more than 50 percent of stems and all plots include 6 or more
planted species. Volunteer stems include desirable species, such as American persimmon (Diospyros
virginiana), hickory species (Carya spp.), and winged elm (Ulmus alata).

2.4 Parcel Adaptive Management
As was discussed in Section 1.1, 0.1 acres were released from the conservation easement due to the
installation of waterlines in October 2021. The disturbed area was seeded and herbaceous vegetation
has grown over the disturbance. The soil is stabilized, and Wildlands does not anticipate any future
problems in these areas. Updated pictures of the areas are included in Appendix F.
While planted trees are growing well, pasture grasses are still thick. To ensure planted trees remain
competitive, herbicide ring sprays were applied around the base of trees where necessary in April 2022.
Southwest of the lower crossing, thick agricultural weeds were also mechanically removed from around
planted trees to reduce competition. Areas where blackberry (Rubus spp.) was competing with trees
were treated with a foliar spray application of triclopyr. Wildlands plans to re-apply herbicide in rings
around planted trees in areas of thick herbaceous competition and treat aggressive blackberry growth
as needed in spring of 2023.
Additionally, follow up treatments were done on the intermittent Tree-of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima)
stems via cut stump application of triclopyr in August 2022. Occasional resprouts of Chinese privet
(Ligustrum sinense) and Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) were treated in March 2022.
Wildlands will continue to monitor for invasive species resprouts and additional treatments will be
applied as necessary.
Adaptive measures will be developed, or appropriate remedial actions will be implemented in the event
the Parcel or a specific component of the Parcel fails to achieve the success criteria outlined in the BPDP.
Parcel maintenance will be performed to correct any identified problems on the Parcel that have a high
likelihood of affecting project success. Such items include but are not limited to; excess tree mortality
caused by fire, flooding, drought, or insects. Any actions implemented will be designed to achieve the
success criteria and will include a work schedule and updated monitoring criteria.
2.5 Conclusions
Vegetation across the Parcel is thriving and exceeding performance standards. Monitoring Year 2 data
shows an average density of 475 planted stems per acre across vegetation plots, with individual plots
ranging from 405 to 607 planted stems per acre. When including volunteer species, the average stem
density increases to 556 stems per acre with individual plots ranging from 405 to 728 stems per acre.
The Parcel is on track to exceed the final success criteria of 260 stems per acre at the end of Monitoring
Year 5. Desirable volunteer species, such as American persimmon (Diospyros virginiana), hickory species
(Carya spp.), and winged elm (Ulmus alata) are establishing themselves. Herbaceous vegetation is also
flourishing across the Parcel. Wildlands will continue to monitor the health of planted trees and invasive
species and treat them as necessary. Wildlands is in the process of recording a new conservation
easement plat to correct the conflict with the waterline. The final plat and partial release document will
be submitted to NCDWR as soon as they have been recorded with the Register of Deeds. Wildlands
anticipates this will be done in early 2023.
