Remedial Planting Plan (2022/2023 Dormant Season) MY2 Monitoring Report (Project No. 100092) Table of Contents Brahma Site Restoration Systems, LLC Alamance County, North Carolina February 2023 1.0 PROJECT SUMMARY Restoration Systems, LLC (RS) has established the North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services (NCDMS) Brahma Site (Site). 1.1 Project Background, Components, and Structure The Brahma Site (hereafter referred to as the "Site") encompasses 22.7 acres of historically disturbed forest and livestock pasture along unnamed tributaries to Reedy Branch (warm water streams in the Jordan Lake watershed). The Site is located approximately 2 miles south of Snow Camp, NC, 5 miles northeast of Silk Hope, NC, and southwest of Clark Road (SR 2352) in southern Alamance County. Before construction, land use at the Site was characterized by disturbed forest and livestock pasture. Riparian zones are primarily composed of herbaceous vegetation that is sparse and disturbed due to livestock grazing, bush hogging, and regular land -management activities. During mitigation plan preparation, two Pilgrim's Pride chicken houses were being constructed on the property adjacent to the southeast portion of UT 1. The chicken houses were constructed on pads that have a groundwater drainage network leading to two pipes that discharge adjacent to the easement. The pipes do not drain effluent from the chicken houses and discharge clean water. Most drainage from the chicken house facilities drains through a draw that is treated at the easement boundary and then discharged in wetlands before entering Site tributaries. Chicken waste management is being managed through a Joint Responsibility — Producer/Third-Party Applicator agreement in a manner consistent with requirements set forth by the State of North Carolina in 15A NCAC 02T Section 1400 (Manure Hauler Regulations) and NRCS standard 633 (Waste Utilization). Documentation of the agreement is available upon request. Under the agreement, the producer is responsible for keeping records on the amount of waste generated by the operation and providing the responsible third party with waste analysis records. The third -party applicator is responsible for applying materials at agronomic rates, soil testing, field evaluation, etc. At present, no waste is to be discharged onto the property adjacent to the Site easement. If waste management changes, a minimum setback of 100 feet from perennial waters is required. Proposed Site restoration activities generated 3881.066 Stream Mitigation Units (SMUs) and 6.655 Riparian Wetland Mitigation Units (WMUs), as described in Table 1. Additional activities that occurred at the Site included the following. • Planting 17.7 acres of the Site with 20,200 stems (planted species are included in Table 6 [Appendix B]). • Fencing the entire conservation easement. Site design was completed in August 2020. Construction started on August 29, 2020, and ended with a final walkthrough on December 9, 2020. The Site was planted on January 12, 2021. Completed project activities, reporting history, completion dates, and project contacts are summarized in Tables 14-15 (Appendix Q.

The Site is located within Targeted Local Watershed (TLW) 03030002050050. The RBRP report documents benthic ratings vary between "Fair" and "Good -Fair" possibly due to cattle, dairy, and poultry operations. The project is not located in a Regional or Local Watershed Planning Area; however, RBRP goals are addressed by project activities as follows with Site -specific information following the RBRP goals in parenthesis. 1. Reduce and control sediment inputs — reduction of 8.0 tons/year after mitigation is complete); 2. Reduce and manage nutrient inputs - livestock removed from streams resulting in a direct reduction of 1020.8 pounds of nitrogen, 84.6 pounds of phosphorus per year, and 11.2 x 1011 colonies of fecal coliform; fertilizer application has been eliminated; and marsh treatment areas were installed); 3. Protect and augment designated natural heritage areas (NA). Site -specific mitigation goals and objectives were developed through the use of the North Carolina Stream Assessment Method (NC SAM) and North Carolina Wetland Assessment Method (NC WAM) analyses of pre - construction and reference stream systems at the Site (NC SFAT 2015 and NC WFAT 2010) (see table below).

From a mitigation perspective, several of the goals and objectives are assumed to be functionally elevated by restoration activities without direct measurement. Other goals and objectives will be considered successful upon achieving success criteria. The following summarizes Site success criteria. Success Criteria Streams • All streams must maintain an Ordinary High -Water Mark (OHWM), per RGL 05-05. • Continuous surface flow must be documented each year for at least 30 consecutive days. • Bank height ratio (BHR) cannot exceed 1.2 at any measured cross-section. • Entrenchment ratio (ER) must be no less than 2.2 at any measured riffle cross-section. • BHR and ER at any measure riffle cross-section should not change by more than 10% from baseline condition during any given monitoring period. • The stream project shall remain stable and all other performance standards shall be met through four separate bankfull events, occurring in separate years, during the monitoring years 1-7. MY2 Monitoring Report (Project No. 100092) Page 6 Brahma Site Restoration Systems, LLC Alamance County, North Carolina February 2023 Success Criteria (Continued) Wetland Hydrology • Saturation or inundation within the upper 12 inches of the soil surface for, at a minimum, 12 percent of the growing season, during average climatic conditions. Vegetation • Within planted portions of the site, a minimum of 320 stems per acre must be present at year 3; a minimum of 260 stems per acre must be present at year 5; and a minimum of 210 stems per acre must be present at year 7. • Trees must average 7 feet in height at year 5, and 10 feet in height at year 7 in each plot. • Planted and volunteer stems are counted, provided they are included in the approved planting list for the site; natural recruits not on the planting list may be considered by the IRT on a case -by -case basis. 2.0 METHODS Monitoring will be conducted by Axiom Environmental, Inc. Annual monitoring reports of the data collected will be submitted to the NCDMS by Restoration Systems no later than December 1 of each monitoring year data is collected. The monitoring schedule is summarized in the following table.

Eleven of twelve groundwater gauges met success criteria for the year 2 (2022) monitoring period. Gauge No. 12 missed the 12% hydroperiod success criteria by 2 days with a hydroperiod of 11.0% (26 days) (Appendix D). WETS monthly rainfall sum and 30-70 percentiles are reported (Figure D1, Appendix D). Vegetation Summary During quantitative vegetation sampling, 19 sample plots (10-meter by 10-meter) were installed within the Site as per guidelines established in CVS-EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation, Version 4.2 (Lee et al. 2008). Year 2 (2022) vegetation measurements occurred on July 7, 2022 and also included four temporary vegetation plots (50 meter by 2 meter). Measurements of the 23 vegetation plots (19 permanent and 4 temporary plots) resulted in an average of 340 planted stems/acre, excluding live stakes. Additionally, eleven of nineteen individual plots and one of four random transects met success criteria (Tables 7-8, Appendix B). Vegetation mortality during MY1 and 2 mainly occurred in wetland credit areas where herbaceous species have established. These are likely out -competing many of the smaller bare -root trees. Though herbaceous growth across the Site is strong, IRS does not feel it is warranted to treat the herbaceous layer at this time. Given the qualitative and quantitative monitoring data, IRS proposes a remedial action plan for site planting - Appendix G.

These observations were confirmed by quantitative vegetation surveying; results of the vegetation survey, both permanent plots and random transects, are included in the MY2 (2022) Monitoring Report. The survey showed a site -wide average of 340 planted stems/acre, excluding live stakes, slightly above the MY 3 vegetation success criteria of 320 stems per acre. However, 11 of the 23 surveyed plots/transects failed to achieve the 320 stems per acre criteria. The 11 failing plots/transects averaged 209 stems/acre, below the MY7 vegetation success criteria for planted stems. Vegetation mortality during MY1 and 2 mainly occurred in wetland credit areas where herbaceous species have established. These are likely out -competing many of the smaller bare -root trees. Though herbaceous growth across the Site is strong, IRS does not feel it is warranted to treat the herbaceous layer at this time. Remedial bare -root planting will be of a higher -quality stock with species being a minimum of 18"-24" inches tall with adequate root mass to help reduce mortality. Based on the qualitative and quantitative assessments, IRS proposes implementing an adaptive management plan, which includes 13.08 acres of bare -root planting within the Site's original 17.7-acre planted area (Figure A — Attached). Table A lists proposed bare -root species and quantities. These stems have been secured, and IRS anticipates planting in late January/early February of 2023.

RS intends to replant the designated areas to a density of 480 stems per acre or plant an additional +/-270 stems per acre. As part of this effort, RS will replant permanent vegetation monitoring plots 3-4, 6, 8, 11-16, 18, and 19. Though vegetation plot 17 is within the remedial planting area, the MY2 vegetation survey recorded 14 living planted stems. RS is not planning to replant Plot 17. RS will conduct four random vegetation transects within the replanted areas in the Spring of 2023 and repeat the same transects in the Fall of 2023. Transect data will be presented in the MY3 (2023) Monitoring Report. Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can provide any additional information.
