EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Restoration Systems, LLC (RS) established the Benton BranchBank Parcel (Parcel)as part of the RS'Phase
th
One Haw River WS Umbrella Banking Instrument (Banking Instrument) signed October 25, 2017 between
RS, and the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (DWR). Per the Jordan Lake Water Supply Nutrient
Strategy, Consolidated Mitigation Rule, and Nutrient Offset Payments (15A NCAC 02B .0267, 15A NCAC
02B .0268, 15A NCAC 02B .0295, & 15A NCAC 02B .0240), this Parcel is designed to provide riparian buffer
mitigation and nutrient offset credits for unavoidable impacts due to development within the Haw River
Sub-watershed of Jordan Lake in the Cape Fear River Basin. Supporting figures are included in Appendix
B.
th
, 2015, by Sue Homewood of DWR. Ms. Homewood's evaluation
The Parcel was evaluated on January 16
was part of an inter-agency review, including the US Army Corps of Engineers, to determine if stream
features located within the Site are applicable to provide compensatory stream mitigation under
Restoration Systems' Cape Fear 02 Phase One Umbrella Banking Instrument (Benton Branch USACE Action
ID SAW-2015-01701). Riparian areas adjacent to Parcel features providing compensatory mitigation for
stream and wetland impacts were restored and provide riparian buffer mitigation and nutrient offset
credit.
The Parcel was planned and designed according to the Banking Instrument with DWR, 15A NCAC 02B
.0240, and the Consolidated Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B.0295, which became effective on November
1st, 2015. The Parcel was designed in concurrence with the Benton Branch Stream and Wetland Mitigation
Bank (SAW# 2015-01701). The mitigation plan for the Benton Branch Stream and Wetland Mitigation
Bank, along with the Stream and Wetland Umbrella Mitigation Banking Instrument, was approved by the
th
Interagency Review Team on July 6, 2017. The Section 404 permit (Clean Water Act, 33 USC 1344) was
th
granted by the US Army Corps of Engineers on June 30, 2017. The corresponding Section 401 Water
th
Quality Certification was granted on June 28, 2017, and the land quality letter of approval was granted
th
on June 20, 2017.
th
, 2018. Baseline
Project construction and planting were completed between February 14th and March 14
monitoring data was collected between mid-and late March 2018. Activities involved restoring and
enhancing riparian buffers and other riparian areas adjacent to mitigated streams to reduce non-point
source contaminant discharges to downstream waters in the Haw River sub-watershed of Jordan Lake. All
riparian areas were assessed by DWR during an onsite visit to determine viability for buffer mitigation and
nutrient offset. Approximately 33.14 acres are protected with a permanent conservation easement. Of
those 33.14 acres, 10.45 acres were restored, 9.40 acres were enhanced by removing cattle from the
streams and riparian areas, and 5.005 acres were preserved. An additional 0.08 acres were restored and
generate nutrient offset credit.
In general, riparian restoration/enhancement area widths on streams extend out to a maximum of 100
feet from the top of stream banks with a minimum width of 20 from the top of the stream banks. Riparian
buffer enhancement and preservation credits generated on this Bank Parcel are allowed pursuant to 15A
NCAC 02B .0295 (o). Neither the riparian buffer enhancement nor preservation credits can be used to
generate nutrient offset credits. Additionally, no riparian restoration areas that are less than 50 feet wide
from the top of stream banks can be used to generate nutrient offset credit. No riparian restoration areas
that are less than 20 feet wide from the top of any stream bank can be used to generate riparian buffer
credit. Therefore, the maximum acreage of riparian restoration on Site that can be converted into nutrient
offset credits is 10.44 acres. Figure 3 (Appendix B) shows the Credit Determination Map, and Section 2.0
details the Bank Parcel's mitigation determination.
Benton Branch Bank Parcel Year 5 (2022) Monitoring Report Executive Summary page i
Phase One Haw River WS Umbrella Bank Restoration Systems, LLC
Year 5 (2022) vegetation sampling occurred on September 20th, 2022. Stem density across the Parcel was
above the required average density, with 372 planted tree stems per acre (excluding livestakes) surviving
in year 5 (2022); with natural recruits counted, the Site average is 882 stems per acre, excluding livestakes.
Each individual plot exceeded success criteria except for Plots 3, 12-14, and 16. When including naturally
recruited stems of sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), American elm (Ulmus americana), hackberry (Celtis
occidentalis), and hickory (Carya sp.), plots 12, 14, and 16 meet success criteria. Plot 3 was one stem shy
of meeting success criteria. Plot 13 contained no live planted woody stems; however, during year 5 (2022)
monitoring, two random vegetation monitoring transects were performed in the vicinity of plot 13
(Transect #1) and plot 12 (Transect #2). The transects contained 10 and 9 stems, or 405 and 364 stems
per acre, respectively.
2019 Maintenance Summary:
A Lack of surviving planted stems in and around the upper portions of UT-3 (Plot 13), UT-2, and UT-1
were observed during the as-built walkthrough with DWR in July of 2018. The herbaceous layer
consists of abnormally dense knotweed (Polygonum sp.), Japanese stiltgrass (Microstegium
vimineum), and ragweed (Ambrosia sp.). These areas were treated in July of 2019 as part of the annual
maintenance program.
Based on field observations and Yr. 1 (2018) monitoring data, RS implemented replanting of target
areas (UT-3 around Plot 13, UT-2, and UT-1) at an approximate density of 400 stems per acre. Species
planted and their quantity are detailed in Table 5 of Appendix C. RS Staff performed the replant in
March 2019.

2021 Maintenance Summary:
During Year 3 (2020) monitoring review and site visit of the stream and wetland component of the
project, the Interagency Review Team (IRT) determined that areas immediately adjacent to UT-1 and
along UT-6 in the vicinity of plots 14 and 15 were lacking in planted woody vegetation and would
benefit from a supplemental planting effort. In January 2021, 250 3-gallon potted stems were
planted in the vicinity of UT-1, and 50 3-gallon potted stems were planted along UT-6, in and around
plots 14 and 15. A species list is included in Appendix C depicting the area of supplemental planting.
Based on stem counts and visual observations during Years 4 and 5 (2021 and 2022), the newly
planted stems appear vigorous. Supplemental planting areas are depicted in Figure 2 (Appendix A).

Phase One Haw River WS Umbrella Bank Restoration Systems, LLC
1.0PROJECT GOALS, BACKGROUND, AND ATTRIBUTES
1.1 Location and Setting
Restoration Systems, LLC has established the Benton Branch Bank Parcel (Parcel), proposed as part of the
Restoration Systems' Phase One Haw River WS Umbrella Banking Instrument (Banking Instrument) signed
th
October 25, 2017, between Restoration Systems and the North Carolina Division of Water Resources
(DWR).
The Site encompasses 33 acres of land located on both sides of Milesville Road at the intersection of
Massey Road. Before construction, the Site was characterized by agricultural land utilized for beef cattle
production and municipal effluent disposal, with scattered disturbed forest. Located in the South
Atlantic/Gulf Region approximately 12 miles north of Burlington, NC, in southwest Caswell County (Figure
1, Appendix B), the Parcel is hydrologically situated within the USGS 14-digit HUC 03030002030030 of the
Cape Fear River Basin and Jordan Lake's Haw Sub-Watershed (North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Subbasin Number 03-06-02). The main hydrologic features include Benton Branch, six unnamed
tributaries (UT) to Benton Branch, and adjacent floodplains.
Directions to the Parcel (from Burlington):
Take Holt St./NC-62 toward N. Fisher St. – 0.1 mile
Continue on Rauhut St./NC-62 – 3.2 miles
Turn left on Union Ridge Rd. – 6.0 miles
Turn left on Stoney Mountain Rd. – 2.3 miles
Stoney Mountain Rd becomes Stoney Creek Mountain Rd. – 0.9 mile
Stoney Creek Mountain Rd. becomes Milesville Rd. – 1.4 miles
Turn left on Massey Rd.
Parcel Coordinates: 36.278744, -79.419371
1.2 Project Goals and Objectives
According to the Final Cape Fear River Basin Restoration Priorities (NCEEP 2009), this watershed should
be targeted for restoration to protect the nutrient-sensitive waters that ultimately drain into the nutrient-
sensitive water supply of Jordan Lake. Overall, the purpose of the Benton Branch Buffer and Nutrient
Offset Bank is to restore, enhance, and preserve riparian buffers and other riparian areas adjacent to
mitigated streams onsite. The riparian restoration and enhancement work will improve water quality
within the Parcel and the downstream watershed. The Parcel is located in a region of the state dominated
by agriculture and livestock; restoration of the riparian buffer is expected to result in immediate water
quality benefits within the vicinity of the Parcel through the removal of livestock access to Parcel streams.
Primary goals focus on 1) improving water quality, 2) enhancing flood attenuation and hydrology, 3)
improving aquatic resources, and 4) restoring riparian habitat. Mitigation activities on Site provide
floodplain connectivity, floodplain resistance, stream stability, sediment transport, surface and
subsurface storage/retention, in-stream habitat, riparian habitat and structure, thermal regulation,
floodplain biogeochemical processing, and pollutant filtration, as well as remove sources of pollutants.

2.0MITIGATION POTENTIAL
The Benton Branch Bank Parcel provides Jordan buffer and nutrient offset mitigation credits for
development impacts within the Haw River Sub-watershed of Jordan Lake (Figures 5-6, Appendix B). The
width of the credit generation areas begins at the most landward limit of the top of stream banks or
rooted herbaceous vegetation and extends landward a maximum distance of 200 feet. No buffer
mitigation credit is generated in areas with less than 20 feet in width, and no nutrient offset credit is
generated in areas that are less than 50 feet from TOB. Buffer Mitigation credits generated from riparian
restoration in non-forested pasture areas, with a minimum width of 50 feet from TOB, can be converted
and transferred from Riparian Buffer Credits to Nutrient Offset Credits and from Nutrient Offset Credit to
Riparian Buffer Credits upon written approval from DWR. A maximum of 10.44 acres of riparian
restoration on this Site can be converted and transferred from Riparian Buffer Credits to Nutrient Offset
Credits and from Nutrient Offset Credit back to Riparian Buffer Credits upon approval. The Sponsor must
submit a written request and receive written approval from DWR before any credit conversions and
transfers to the buffer and nutrient credit ledgers. All delivery factors shall be applied to nutrient offset
credits before requesting a conversion.
According to the nutrient reduction goals for the Haw River arm of Jordan Lake, the generated nitrogen
credits per acre in the Haw Sub-watershed for riparian restoration on agricultural land is 2249.36 pounds,
and the generated phosphorus credit per acre is 143.81 pounds. The delivery factors applied to this Parcel
are 25 percent for nitrogen and 8 percent for phosphorus (Appendix D). Delivered credits are calculated
by applying the delivery factors and the acreage of riparian restoration to the generated credits per acre
stated above. Based on the as-built report, Jordan riparian buffer and nutrient offset (Nitrogen and
Phosphorus) credits for the Benton Bank Parcel are summarized in Table 1 and Figures 5-6 (Appendix B).

* TOB-20 ft = Buffer is less than 20 ft from the TOB and therefore qualifies for no credit.
TOB-29 ft = Buffer width is contiguous from TOB, is a minimum of 20 ft from the TOB and a maximum of 29 ft from
the TOB, and qualifies for 75% credit.
TOB-100 ft = Buffer width is contiguous from TOB, is a minimum of 29 ft from the TOB and a maximum of 100 ft from
the TOB, and qualifies for 100% credit.
101-200' = Buffer width is contiguous from TOB, is a minimum of 101 ft from the TOB and a maximum of 200 ft from
the TOB, and qualifies for 33% credit.
**Buffer mitigation credits are sought from TOB to 100 feet. Beyond buffer credit generating areas, RS is proposing
nutrient offset credits out to a maximum of 200 feet for a contiguous riparian restoration from TOB to 200 feet
where possible.
The Sponsor will maintain 4 credit ledgers for the Parcel under the Banking Instrument and BPDP: (1) for
buffer restoration mitigation credits in both square feet and acres, (1) for buffer enhancement mitigation
credits in square feet and acres, (1) accounting for nitrogen offset credits in pounds and acres, and (1)
accounting for phosphorus offset credits in pounds and acres.
The Sponsor may elect to use riparian areas for either buffer mitigation credit or wetland mitigation credit,
but not both. The Sponsor must submit a written request and receive written approval from DWR before
any credit conversions and transfers to the buffer credit ledger. As part of that request, the Sponsor must
provide DWR with a written acceptance letter from the USACE, accompanied by supporting documents,
for any wetlands that they want removed from the wetland mitigation bank. Only riparian areas that fail
to generate wetland credit may be viable for generating riparian buffer credit. Figure 3 (Appendix B)
depicts riparian areas that could potentially generate riparian buffer credit if they don't qualify to generate
wetland mitigation credits, and Figure 5 (Appendix B) depicts the potential conversion of failed wetland
mitigation credits to riparian buffer credits. Any areas proposed for buffer mitigation credit must meet
the performance standards detailed in 15A NCAC 02B .0295.
3.0MONITORING AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
3.1 Monitoring Protocol
Restoration monitoring procedures for riparian vegetation will include periodic visual inspection and
annual plant survival and species diversity survey reports. Quantitative sampling of vegetation will be
performed as outlined in CVS Level 1-2 Protocol for Recording Vegetation, Version 4.2 (Lee et al. 2008).
Photos will be taken from all photo points each monitoring year and provided in the annual reports. All
planted stems in the plots will be marked with flagging tape and recorded. Detailed qualitative and
quantitative monitoring is proposed for vegetated riparian areas. Marsh treatment areas will be visually
inspected periodically and reported qualitatively within the annual monitor report as required. Reporting
will include a photographic record of the Parcel's assets.
Benton Branch Bank Parcel Year 5 (2022) Monitoring Report Page 3
Phase One Haw River WS Umbrella Bank Restoration Systems, LLC
Monitoring of the restoration efforts will be performed for five years or until success criteria are fulfilled.
Each monitoring year, RS shall submit an annual monitoring report to DWR no later than December 31st.
Quantitative monitoring includes measurements of 20-10x10 meter, permanent vegetation plots (2.0% of
riparian buffer mitigation and nutrient offset credit areas). Plots were randomly placed throughout the
planted riparian areas and are representative of credit generating areas. Sampling of vegetation will be
performed in October of each year; monitoring data can be found in Appendix C.
During the first year, planted vegetation received a cursory visual evaluation to ascertain the degree of
overtopping of planted trees by nuisance species. Success criteria within the riparian buffer and nutrient
offset restoration areas will be based on the survival of planted species at a density of 260 stems per acre
after five years of monitoring. A minimum of four native hardwood tree and shrub species must be
present, with no one species representing greater than 50% of the stems. In addition, appropriate
volunteer stems of native hardwood tree and shrub species may be included to meet the final
performance standard of 260 stems per acre upon DWR approval.
A visual assessment of the cattle exclusion and preservation 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 conservations easement area; and
•There has not been any cutting, clearing, filling, grading, or similar activities that would
negatively affect the function of the restored buffer.
3.2 Parcel Maintenance
2019 Maintenance Summary:
A Lack of surviving planted stems in and around the upper portions of UT-3 (Plot 13), UT-2, and UT-1
were observed during the as-built walkthrough with DWR in July of 2018. The herbaceous layer
consists of abnormally dense knotweed (Polygonum sp.), Japanese stiltgrass (Microstegium
vimineum), and ragweed (Ambrosia sp.). These areas were treated in July of 2019 as part of the annual
maintenance program.
Based on field observations and Yr. 1 (2018) monitoring data, RS implemented replanting of target
areas (UT-3 around Plot 13, UT-2, and UT-1) at an approximate density of 400 stems per acre. Species
planted and their quantity are detailed in Table 5 of Appendix C. RS Staff performed the replant in
March 2019.

2021 Maintenance Summary:
During Year 3 (2020) monitoring review and site visit of the stream and wetland component of the
project, the Interagency Review Team (IRT) determined that areas immediately adjacent to UT-1 and
along UT-6 in the vicinity of plots 14 and 15 were lacking in planted woody vegetation and would
benefit from a supplemental planting effort. In January 2021, 250 3-gallon potted stems were
planted in the vicinity of UT-1, and 50 3-gallon potted stems were planted along UT-6, in and around
plots 14 and 15. A species list is included in Appendix C depicting the area of supplemental planting.
Based on stem counts and visual observations during Years 4 and 5 (2021 and 2022), the newly
planted stems appear vigorous. Supplemental planting areas are depicted in Figure 2 (Appendix A).
