EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
General Notes
Planted stem die-off continues to be an issue. Low survival was observed sitewide in MY 3.
Nuisance animal activity (pig rooting /deer browse) are noticeable on site, but not problematic.
Soil conditions combined with adverse climate patterns are believed to be the greatest challenges
to vegetative success at this time. Lack of consistent moisture availability, as previously noted in
2021 Adaptive Management plan, appears to be driving mortality.
Prolonged drought during the growing season in 2022 is the most obvious reason for the decline
in survival from MY 2 to MY 3.
See Appendix C for proposed Adaptive Management Plan.

Vegetation
14,350 stems were planted in March 2022. See Appendix C for species/locations.
MY 3 (2022) data collected shows an average of 240 planted stems/acre across the Parcel.
Additionally, 35 of the 87 individual plots met the success criteria (Table 5, Appendix B).
Seventeen (17) temporary transects were conducted around the conservation easement and
resulted in an average density of the temporary transects was 202 stems per acre (Table 6
Appendix B, and shown in Figure 2A-B (Appendix A).
The vigor of trees throughout the site varied; some areas of dense herbaceous vegetation had
higher tree mortality rates.

2021 Adaptive Management Summary
On February 1, 2021, RS implemented an adaptive management plan based on Year 1 (2020) vegetation
monitoring data (Section 6.0 and Appendix C). Random vegetation transects were surveyed across the
Parcel shortly after replanting and indicated an increase of 160 stems per acre Parcel-wide. Year 2 (2021)
vegetation monitoring data suggests the 2021 adaptive management planting had a more significant
mortality rate than expected. Climatic conditions were not favorable post-planting for establishing bare-
root saplings, especially in sandy soils. Appendix C includes a rainfall analysis for the Greenville area,
regional drought mapping, and Parcel-specific precipitation analysis from the National Drought Mitigation
Center.

GUC Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel Executive Summary
MY3 Monitoring Report – January 2023

1.0 Introduction
Restoration Systems (Sponsor) is pleased to provide the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NC
DWR) with this Annual Monitoring Report for the GUC Bank Parcel (Parcel). As agreed upon in the GUC
Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI) and GUC Bank Parcel
Development Packaged (BPDP), made and entered into on February 17, 2020, by Restoration Systems, LLC
(RS), acting as Bank Sponsor (Sponsor), and the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality
(NCDEQ), Division of Water Resources (DWR). This document details the riparian area restoration
activities, monitoring efforts, and the Parcel's mitigation potential.

The Parcel is 97.14 acres and is designed to provide mitigation credits for unavoidable impacts due to
development within the Tar-Pamlico River Basin. Tar-Pamlico River Riparian Buffer mitigation credits
provided by this Parcel are available in the Tar-Pamlico River Basin, according to 15A NCAC 02B .0295
(Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule – CMB rule) (effective date– October 24, 2014) (Appendix D).
Mitigation credits for Nutrient Offset are made available within the Tar-Pamlico River Basin USGS 8-digit
HUC 03020103. Supporting figures, tables, and photos are located in Appendix A.

NCDWR representatives Katie Merritt and Chris Pullinger conducted an onsite determination for parcel
applicability and suitability on November 11, 2017. Follow-up information was provided to Katie Merritt
on January 22, 2019, and the Division provided a Site Viability for Buffer & Nutrient Offset on March 25,
2019, and revised on May 29, 2019 (Appendix C).

A phased approach was taken to allow for the completion of the Piedmont Natural Gas pipeline 24 "Line
24" – DWR 2018-1640. The Parcel was permitted in two phases (Phase 1, 68.02 acres, and Phase 2, 29.07
acres). Completion of the pipeline within the City of Greenville's property, including 401 permit release,
occurred in March 2020, allowing RS to perform restoration activities on both phases simultaneously. As
such, both phases will be reported on and monitored congruently and as one, with one monitoring report
submitted at the end of each year and one financial assurance policy.

Restoration construction activities involved removing existing farm infrastructure, including piped
crossings, dirt roads, a utility line, and a small agricultural building. RS began preparation for the
restoration of the riparian buffer and planted the Parcel in March 2020. Riparian buffer restoration
activities included ripping/bedding the Parcel with a narrow set plow, bare-root planting, and broadcast
th
application of a permanent seed mix. During March 18–26, 2020,Axiom Environmental installed eighty-
seven (87) Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) monitoring plots and collected as-built data. Katie Merritt of
DWR performed a restoration verification site visit on June 17, 2020.

MY3 Monitoring Report – January 2023

2.1 Parcel Background
The Parcel encompasses 97.14 acres of historical agricultural fields. Before Parcel development,
agricultural fields were used as biosolids irrigation fields for the City of Greenville Waster Water Facility
and row crop production of hay or sorghum. The Parcel includes three unnamed tributaries and two
surface water conveyances/ditches with direct hydrologic connection to the Tar River, in addition to a
third unnamed tributary that connects to an onsite tributary before discharging into the Tar River (Figures
3A-B, Appendix A). Before construction, Parcel surface water conveyances and unnamed tributaries were
cleared of vegetation by historical agricultural practices and maintained as cleared ditches. Small pockets
of disturbed forests were located on the Parcel at the top of Feature 2, along the margins of Feature 5,
and in the southeast corner of Feature 8 (Figures 3A-B, Appendix A). Dirt roads, a powerline, and a small
dilapidated agricultural building were removed from the Parcel's footprint.

The Parcel comprises three separate tracts just north of the Tar River. Currently, Parcel tracts are subject
to two existing 50-foot Piedmont Natural Gas Company, Inc. (PNG) Easements. PNG Line 42, DWR Permit
No. 2012-1024 v7, runs roughly east to west across the GUC-owned tracts, and PNG easement and gas
line (Line 24 – DWR 2018-1640 – 401 approval on 04-26-2019 with DWR approval and 401 release on
March 11, 2020) connects to Line 42 and runs south under the Tar River. Both PNG easements are outside
of the Parcel's footprint.

2.2 Parcel Objectives
The primary goals associated with the restoration of riparian areas within the Bank Parcel focused on
improving water quality, enhancing flood attenuation, and restoring wildlife habitat. The Project goals for
each Phase are identical, while the Restoration Plan for each differed only with regard to the removal of
existing infrastructure. These goals were achieved by creating a forested riparian buffer adjacent to
stream channels and a forested riparian area along agricultural ditches and were accomplished by the
following.
1. Removing nonpoint sources of pollution associated with agricultural production, including a)
ceasing the broadcast application of class B biosolids, fertilizer, pesticides, and other agricultural
materials into and adjacent to Parcel surface water conveyances (ditches) and streams, b)
providing a restored buffer to filter runoff from adjacent lands.
2. Reducing sedimentation within onsite and downstream receiving waters by reducing bank
erosion, vegetation maintenance, and agricultural land disturbances.
3. Promoting floodwater attenuation by increasing frictional resistance of floodwaters crossing
Parcel floodplains.
4. Improving aquatic habitat by enhancing stream bed shading and natural detritus input.
5. Providing a terrestrial wildlife corridor and refuge in an area extensively developed for agricultural
production.
6. Restoring and re-establishing natural community structure, habitat diversity, and functional
continuity.
7. Protecting the Parcel's riparian buffer functions and values in perpetuity.

3.0 Restoration Activities
A restoration plan, including the following components, was completed in March 2020.

Primary components of the Restoration Plan included the following.

of existing compacted earth roads adjacent to features 6A, 6B, and 8; and 3) removal of four culverts.
GUC Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel Page 3
MY3 Monitoring Report – January 2023

After removing the powerline, abandoned agricultural building, and compacted earth roads. Treatment
of coastal Bermuda grass was completed in 2019. RS did not feel it was necessary to apply an additional
treatment nor a pre-emergent treatment for other herbaceous species. The Parcel was prepared for bare-
root planting by ripping parallel planting beds off each of the Parcel's features. The ripping and bedding
provided additional water storage for bare-root plantings and introduced microtopography, promoting
diffuse flow and surface water storage throughout the floodplain. Soil amendments were made by the
prior farmer before the planting of 2019 row crops. RS did not apply additional soil amendments.

Four culverts were removed, two between features 5 and 6A, and two between features 7B and 8. After
the culverts were removed, the side slopes were graded to match existing slopes at approximately a five-
to-one (5:1) slope. Matting, native seed mix, and live stakes were used to stabilize the stream banks,
providing long-term stability. Where necessary, black willow live stakes were used to stabilize the banks
throughout the Parcel.

3.2 Riparian Area Restoration Activities
Restoration of the riparian area allows for the recolonization and expansion of characteristic species
across the landscape. The riparian areas were restored in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0295. The
planting plan for the entire riparian restoration area (Phase 1 and 2), included planting native bare root
hardwood and shrub saplings across 86.36 acres at a Parcel density of 740 stems per acre and live stakes
for stream bank stabilization where necessary and the broadcast application of 195 LB of permeant seed
mix (~2 LB per acre). Community associations utilized include 1) Brownwater Bottomland Hardwoods
(High Subtype) and 2) Mesic Mixed Hardwood Forest (Coastal Plain Subtype) (Schafale 2012). The planted
species composition is intentionally diverse and, while based on these communities, also accounted for
local observations and nursery availability.

All species were selected based on their ability for sediment stabilization, rapid growth rate, the ability to
withstand hydraulic forces associated with flood events, suitability to specific soil types, and Parcel
conditions. Trees were mixed thoroughly before planting to provide diverse and random planting across
the Parcel. Planting occurred at a density sufficient to meet the performance standards outlined in Rule
15A NCAC 02B .0295 of 260 trees per acre at the end of five years. No one tree species accounted for
greater than 50% of the established stems.

The bare root planting list is provided in Table C, followed by the permanent seed mix in Table D. MY3
(2022) vegetation data is provided in Appendix B. Vegetation data for MY3 was collected in September
and October 2022, with a final visit in November 2022 by Axiom Environmental and derived an average
planted stem density of 240 stems per acre. In addition to native hardwood trees, the Sponsor planted
several species of native shrubs, aiding in developing a robust, ecologically sound riparian buffer. Shrub
species are counted towards success criteria per the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B
.0295 (November 1, 2015).

4.0 Mitigation Potential
DWR has determined the nitrogen and phosphorous abatement of restored riparian areas to be 2273.02
lbs per acre for nitrogen and 146.4 lbs per acre for phosphorous, as agreed to in the GUC MBI. Riparian
buffer credits were measured by the hundredth of an acre and converted into square feet. The mitigation
potential for each Project Phase is detailed below.

The Parcel generated 86.20 acres of restored riparian area within a 97.14-acre Parcel. The Parcel will
preserve 10.94 acres of riparian areas, streams, and ditches.

Table 1 (Appendix A) outlines the components and mitigation credits to be generated within the Parcel.
Tar-Pamlico riparian buffer mitigation credit generated along Features 2, 6B, 7A, 7B, & 8 (all unnamed
tributaries) can be used for either riparian buffer credits or nutrient offset credits, but not both. For this
document, RS has chosen to designate the riparian areas from top-of-bank to 100 feet as Riparian Buffer
Credit and areas from 101-200 feet as Nutrient Offset Credit. Riparian Buffer Credits can be converted
and transferred to Nutrient Offset Credits; however, Nutrient Offset Credits conversions from areas 101-
200 feet to Riparian Buffer Credits will not occur.

Nutrient offset credits (nitrogen and phosphorous) generated along the two surface water conveyances
(ditches), Features 5 and 6A, cannot be converted into riparian buffer mitigation credits. RS must request
and receive approval to transfer any mitigation credits from DWR before adding or removing credits from
the ledgers. The Sponsor will maintain three credit ledgers per Phase. One ledger will account for riparian
buffer credits, one will account for nitrogen nutrient offset credits, and one will account for phosphorous
nutrient offset credits. All mitigation credit assets shall be shown on the credit ledgers (Table 1, Appendix
A).

Restoration monitoring procedures for vegetation at each Phase will monitor plant survival and species
diversity. Quantitative sampling will include eighty-seven (87 \[Phase 1 = 61 Plots & Phase 2 = 26)
permanent 10 x 10-meter vegetation plots as outlined in the CVS Level 1-2 Protocol for Recording
Vegetation, Version 4.2 (Lee et al. 2008) and will occur no earlier than Fall of each year (Figures 2A-B,
Appendix A). A reference photo will be taken from the origin point of each plot. All planted stems in the
plots will be marked with flagging tape and recorded. Data collected will include species, height, and
planting type (planted stem and/or volunteer). Monitoring of the restoration efforts will be performed for
five years or until success criteria are fulfilled. RS shall submit to NCDWR annual monitoring reports for
both Project Phases (1 and 2) no later than December 31 of each year. Each report will document the
success of the vegetation and any maintenance, supplemental planting, or encroachment within the
easement areas. Success criteria within the 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.

5.2 Parcel Maintenance
A remedial action plan will be developed and implemented with the approval of NCDWR in the event the
Parcel or a specific component of the Parcel fails to achieve success criteria as outlined above. Other
vegetation maintenance and repair activities may include pruning, mulching, and fertilizing. If exotic
invasive plant species require treatment, such species will be controlled by mechanical (physical removal
with the use of a chainsaw) and/or chemical methods (aquatic approved herbicide) following North
Carolina Department of Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations.

If mowing is deemed necessary by the Sponsor during the monitoring period, the Sponsor must receive
approval by the DWR prior to any mowing activities within Zone 1 and Zone 2 of the Neuse buffers along
UT2 to ensure that no buffer violations have been performed. Failure to receive approval to mow within
the Tar-Pamlico buffer as defined in 15A NCAC 02B .0258 by the DWR could result in Tar-Pamlico buffer
violations and violations of the conservation easement. If necessary, the Sponsor will develop a species-
specific control plan.

5.3 Long-Term Management Plan
The conservation easement preservesall areasand prohibitsall usesof the property inconsistent with its
use as mitigation property, including any activity that would materially alter the Parcel's biological
integrity. RS will transfer or assign the conservation easement and its interests in perpetuity to a qualified
holder under NC General Statute ("GS") 121-34 et seq. and 170(h) of the Internal Revenue Code before
the submittal of the Year 4 Monitoring Report. The holder shall be a land trust or stewardship program
accredited by the Land Trust Accreditation Commission and/or has been approved by DWR. A land trust
must be certified under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

6.0 Parcel Management Summary
MY 1 - 2020
During the June 2020 as-built walkthrough, DWR and RS determined a small area adjacent to vegetation
plot 9 was not planted during the initial Parcel planting effort in March 2020. During the as-built
walkthrough and subsequent field visits, RS took GPS points where planting did not occur. The area totaled
0.54 acres and was planted in early February 2021.

GUC Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel Page 7
MY3 Monitoring Report – January 2023

Yr. 1 (2020) monitoring efforts determined the Parcel is meeting success sitewide. However, RS observed
extensive dieback of planted hardwood species across the entire Parcel during the Yr. 1, 2020 Monitoring
Season. RS believes poor tree stock, moderate planting conditions, and drought are the lead cause for the
low efficacy with planted stems. To ensure a successful riparian forest establishes, RS proposed replanting
twenty-four thousand six hundred and fifty (24,650) hardwood bare roots across the entire ninety-seven
(97) acre easement. Spacing and densities of the planted stems will be based on zones depending on
survivability within specific areas. A map identifying each zone is provided in Appendix C.

To offset the potential for dieback from drought, RS added Terra-Sorb to the root balls of each sapling
planted. Terra-Sorb is a non-toxic super-absorbent hydrogel material that absorbs up to 150 times its
weight in water and releases it into the roots when the soils are dry. The species below were picked from
the original planting list with minor modifications based on species success during Yr. 1. Table E outlines
the species and number of stems RS planted in February 2021. Densities were determined by Yr. 1
monitoring data and infield observations. Documentation of the January 2021 Adaptive Management Plan
is included in Appendix C.

MY 2- 2021
Yr. 2 (2021) monitoring efforts determined the Parcel is meeting success sitewide. However, RS observed
dieback and low vigor of planted hardwood species in several zones during the Yr. 2, 2021 Monitoring
Season, particularly in fall site visits during a late drought period. These observations led RS to conduct
supplemental planting in these zones in March 2022 with species from the original planting list. See
Appendix C for planting zone locations. See Table F below for species information.

Subject: DRAFT 2023 Remedial Action Plan for the GUC Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank (DWR
Project #: 2017-0112)
Restoration Systems (RS) has observed extensive dieback of planted hardwood species across the
entire site for the GUC Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank during the Yr. 3, 2022 Monitoring
Season. The Yr. 3 Monitoring survey shows an average of two hundred and forty (240) stems per acre
across the site, which fails to meet the success criteria. The low efficacy is widespread across the site and
not contained to just one area of the project. RS believes soil conditions and drought are combined in
causing the low survival of planted stems.
As discussed in the 2021 AMP, soil moisture availability is a known limiting factor for tree
establishment on the soils at this site. Further review of the available literature for these soil series
indicate that reforestation efforts are prone to challenges, including drought vulnerability to varying
degrees sitewide. See USGS Soil Survey (Karnowski, Edwin H. Soil Survey, Pitt County, North Carolina. The
Service, 1974.) Prolonged drought conditions in 2022 in Pitt County contributed to significant seedling
mortality and continue to impact the site due to rainfall deficit. The climate outlook, according to the State
Climate Office, calls for a continued La Nina pattern this winter which is likely to prolong drought impacts
through a warm and dry winter pattern. (Davis, Corey. (2022, November 17). Winter Outlook for 2022-23:
La Nina Lives On. North Carolina State Climate Office Climate Blog.
https://climate.ncsu.edu/blog/2022/11/winter-outlook-for-2022-23-la-nina-lives-on/ ).
Based on the challenging soil conditions and unfavorable climate outlook, RS proposes to take a
measured approach to bringing the site up to standard. The plan includes limited planting of test areas
in January/February 2023 :
1.3,750 stems to be planted across 7.29 acres. See Figure 1 and Table 1.
2.Species will include species from original planting list as well as:
i.Aronia arbutifolia, a native shrub known for drought tolerance.
ii.Amelanchier spp., a native shrub known for drought tolerance.
iii.Pinus taeda, a native softwood which may serve as an effective nurse crop.
3.2023 Monitoring will include additional sampling in test planting areas.
RS remains committed to meeting success criteria on this site. Soil moisture challenges are
expected to diminish over time in most areas as herbaceous species build a thatch layer and additional
stems of drought resistance species and/or nurse crops further assist the successful establishment of the
target community. Drought conditions are also expected to fade at some point, at which time existing
planted stems are likely to respond with increased vigor and volunteer stems are expected in many
portions of the site. RS looks forward to meeting with DWR staff to discuss this draft plan.
