Buck Swamp Parcel
Wildlands' Neuse 01 Riparian Buffer
& Nutrient Mitigation Bank
The Buck Swamp Parcel (Site) is a part of the Wildlands Engineering, Inc.'s (Wildlands) Neuse 01 Riparian
Buffer and Nutrient Umbrella Mitigation Bank (Bank). The Umbrella Mitigation Banking Instrument
(UMBI) for the Bank was signed on July 3, 2012 and updated on June 10, 2014. The Bank Sponsor
changed their name with the North Carolina Secretary of State March 9, 2015 from WEI -Buck Swamp,
LLC to Wildlands Holdings II, LLC. This change was approved by the North Carolina Division of Water
Resources (NCDWR) on April 2, 2015. The UMBI was also updated on April 2, 2015 to show the Bank
Sponsor name change. The project parcel was planned, designed, and constructed encompassing land
along Buck Swamp and it's tributaries in Wayne County, NC (Figure 1).
The purpose of the Bank is to provide riparian buffer and nutrient offset mitigation credits to
compensate for buffer impacts and development requiring nutrient offset payments within the service
area, Hydrologic Unit 03020201 (with the exception of the Falls Lake drainage area). The service area is
depicted in Figure 2. The mitigation credits generated from this site are listed in Table 1.
1.0 Introduction
The Site involved the restoration of riparian buffers and nutrient offset riparian areas in order to help
reduce non -point source discharge of contaminants into streams and agricultural ditch channels within
the Neuse River Basin. The project area is approximately 47.08 acres and is protected with a permanent
conservation easement.
The Site is located in a rural watershed within the Neuse River Basin (HUC 03020201) and within sub -
basin 03 -04 -06 (Figure 2). Stormwater runoff from the site drains into six ditches and one unnamed
tributary which all drain into Buck Swamp which drains into Mill Creek which then drains into the Little
River, a major tributary to the Neuse River. All receiving streams are classified as Nutrient Sensitive
Waters and are each listed as Water Supply IV — Highly Developed by NCDWR.
2.0 Parcel Location & Background
2.1 Location and Setting
The Site is located in western Wayne County, approximately five miles northeast of the Town of
Princeton (35° 29' 38.093" N, 78° 4' 26.857" W). To get to the Site travel east on US Hwy 70 from Raleigh
for approximately 45 miles, turn left onto Capps Bridge Rd and continue north approximately 3.5 miles
to the intersection with Pikeville- Princeton Rd. Turn right and continue 0.7 miles east. The Site can be
accessed directly from Pikeville- Princeton Rd or Old Kenly Rd (Figure 1).
2. 2 Parcel Background
Prior to construction, the Site consisted primarily of open agricultural fields, used mainly for row crop
production. Row crops included wheat, corn, soy bean, and tobacco. Streams, ditches, and other
stormwater conveyances on the Site had little to no riparian buffer and were mowed in most locations
on an annual basis. The project included restoring the Neuse buffer along Buck Swamp, one unnamed
tributary to Buck Swamp and approximately six ditches /stormwater conveyances (Appendix C). The six
ditch es / stormwater conveyances were identified in the asset map NCDWR provided on July 17, 2012.
WBuck Swamp Parcel Page 2
As -Built & Monitoring Report —April 2015
Tables 2, 3, and 4 in Appendix 1 provide detailed information regarding the Project Activity and
Reporting History, Project Contacts, and Project Baseline Information and Attributes.
While the Site consisted of agricultural fields, there are some forested areas adjacent to the project
(Figure 3). The forested area along the western portion of the project consists of Loblolly Pine (Pinus
taeda). The forested areas along the eastern boundary of the project were assessed for existing
vegetation conditions on August 2, 2012. This area is dominated by sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua),
but contains loblolly pine, black willow (Salix nigra), red maple (Acer rubrum), and sycamore (Platanus
occidentalis). This forested area is generally characterized as a Coastal Plain Small Stream Swamp,
according to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NHP) classification system (Schafale and
Weakley, 1990). Table 5 includes a list of the species found in this ecosystem type and have the
potential for occurrence in the eastern forested area adjacent to the project.
2.3 Parcel Objectives
The main objective of the Site is to reduce nitrogen and phosphorous to Neuse River receiving waters
through establishing and augmenting a forested riparian corridor. The riparian corridors will absorb
nutrients, thereby preventing them from flowing into Buck Swamp and farther downstream into the
Neuse River.
3.0 Restoration Activities
Developing the Site for mitigation required altering current land use practices. Both the Neuse buffer
and the nutrient offset restoration areas were replanted with appropriate native tree species along the
project corridors. The majority of the Site had been maintained as a row crop agricultural field. These
areas were relatively clear and required no site preparation. The restoration area was planted by hand
and did not require any ripping of the soil. Planting was completed in late December 2014.
The revegetation plan for the Site included planting of bare root trees and controlling invasive species
growth. Bare root trees selected for the Site were native bottomland hardwood species typical for
Coastal Plain Small Stream Swamp communities as defined by Schafale and Weakley (1990). Adjacent
forested areas were also used as a reference for the Site. Trees were planted at a density of 608 trees
per acre, tree species planted on the Buck Swamp Parcel are detailed in Table 6.
Wildlands will manage vegetation growth by mowing in between planted trees as needed during the
monitoring period. Additionally, selective applications of a pre- emergent herbicide will be used to
control weedy competition, if necessary. Past project experience has indicated that use of these
techniques significantly limits competition by undesirable vegetation and results in a significant increase
of tree growth.
4.0 Mitigation Potential
Approximately 47.08 acres of land were protected with a conservation easement. Out of the 47.08
acres, 6.86 acres were restored for Neuse buffer credit and 38.84 acres were restored for nutrient offset
restoration credit. Wildlands may use the 6.86 acres for either Neuse buffer credits or nutrient offset
credits, but not both. In general, Neuse buffer widths extend 100 feet and nutrient offset restoration
area widths will extend a maximum of 200 feet from the top of the channel bank. The Buck Swamp
Parcel generated a total of 38.84 acres (88,283.32 pounds) of nutrient offset credit and 6.86 acres
(298,821.6 square feet) of Neuse buffer credit (Figure 3 and table 1).

As -Built & Monitoring Report —April 2015
5.0 Monitoring Protocol & Success Criteria
Thirty eight 10 meter by 10 meter vegetation monitoring plots were installed within the buffer
restoration area to measure the survival of the planted trees (Figure 3). The number of plots required
was determined in accordance with the Carolina Vegetative Sampling Protocol (CVS) Levels 1 & 2.
Vegetation assessments were conducted in January 2015 following the CVS Levels 1 & 2 Protocol for
Recording Vegetation, Version 4.0 (Lee et al. 2006). The as -built baseline data shows a planted tree
density of 608 stems per acre (Table 7). This is well above the 320 stems per acre required at the end of
year five monitoring. Each year a reference photo will be taken from the southwestern corner of each
plot, and all planted stems will be marked with flagging tape and recorded.
Annual monitoring activities will commence in September or October for the remainder of the
monitoring period or until vegetation success criteria is met. Species composition, density, and survival
rates will be evaluated on an annual basis by plot for the entire site. Wildlands shall submit to NCDWR
an annual monitoring report, no later than December 31St of each year for five consecutive years and
will follow the terms and conditions of the Wildlands UMBI signed on April 2, 2015. Success criteria
within the Neuse buffer and nutrient offset restoration areas will be based on the survival of a minimum
density of 320 planted stems per acre after five years of monitoring.
6.0 Financial Assurance & Long Term Management
6.1 Financial Assurance
After completion of the restoration /construction, a separate Performance /Maintenance Bond will be
secured for 100% of the estimated cost to implement the monitoring and maintenance plan, but not less
than $100,000.00. The Performance /Maintenance Bond shall apply at the inception of the monitoring
period for a term of one year, to be extended annually for a minimum of five years. Upon NCDWR
approval, this may be lowered each year based on the adjusted cost to complete the monitoring. A copy
of the monitoring bond will be provided in Appendix E in the final version of the As -Built and Baseline
Monitoring Report.
6.2 Parcel Maintenance
Adaptive measures will be developed or appropriate remedial actions will be implemented in the event
that the Site or a specific component of the Site fails to achieve the success criteria. Site maintenance
will be performed to correct any identified problems 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.

Subject Property; Buck Swamp Nutrient and Riparian Buffer Site
Buck Swamp [NEU06 27 -57- 20.7 -1; WS -IV, NSW]
On -Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Area Protection Rules
(15A NCAC 2B.0233)
Dear Mr. Hutton:
On February 23, 2012, at your request I conducted an on -site determination to review multiple
blue line and drainage features located on the subject property for applicability to the Neuse
River Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233). The features are labeled as "12 -0144A through 12-
0144G" on the attached map initialed by me on March 10, 2012. The project is located at north
side of Pikeville - Princeton Rd 0.15 east of Old Kenly Rd. near the town of Princeton, NC.
During my review I evaluated the stream using the DWQ Stream Classification Form. I
evaluated the stream reach 12 -0144B and 12 -0144C calculated the score to between 21 and 23
points. The form states that if the score is "greater than or equal to 19 points the stream is at
least intermittent ". However, several features on the property did not rate at least intermittent or
were determined to be drainage ditches..
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the surface water labeled as
"12 -0144B and 12- 0144C" on the attached map are at least intermittent and are SUBJECT
to the Neuse Buffer Rule. The features labeled as "12- 0144A ", "12- 0144D, 12- 0144E, 12-
0144F, 12- 0144G" are NOT SUBJECT stream features. These subject streams and the
associated buffers should be identified on any future plans for this property. The owner (or
future owners) should notify the DWQ (and other relevant agencies) of this decision in any

future correspondences concerning this property. This on -site determination shall expire five (5)
years from the date of this letter.
Landowners or affected parties that dispute a determination made by the DWQ or Delegated
Local Authority that a surface water exists and that it is subject to the buffer rule may request a
determination by the Director. A request for a determination by the Director shall be referred to
the Director in writing c/o Karen Higgins, DWQ, Wetlands, Buffers, Stormwater, Compliance
and Permitting Unit (WBSCP) Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699 -1650. Individuals that
dispute a determination by the DWQ or Delegated Local Authority that "exempts" a surface
water from the buffer rule may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within 60 days of
the date that you receive this letter. Applicants are hereby notified that the 60 -day statutory
appeal time does not start until the affected party (including downstream and adjacent
landowners) is notified of this decision. DWQ recommends that the applicant conduct this
notification in order to be certain that third party appeals are made in a timely manner. To ask
for a hearing, send a written petition, which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina
General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh,
N.C. 27699- 671.4. This determination is final and binding unless you ask for a hearing within 60
days.
This letter only addresses the applicability to the buffer rules and does not approve any activity
within the buffers. Nor does this letter approve any activity within Waters of the United States
or Waters of the State. If you have any additional questions or require additional information
please call Amy Adams at (252) 948 -3917.

Easement, including, but not limited to, the right to quiet enjoyment of the Property, the rights of
ingress and egress, the right to hunt, fish, and hike on the Property, the right to sell, transfer, gift or

BOOK 3 0 9 5 PAGE 0 5 1
the right to construct a nutrient offset and riparian buffer mitigation bank on the Property, in accordance
with the Buck Swamp Bank Parcel Development Plan approved in accordance with the Mitigation

ARTICLE IV.
GRANTEE'S RIGHTS
The Grantee or its authorized representatives, successors and assigns, and NCDWQ, shall have the right
to enter the Property at all reasonable times for the purpose of inspecting said property to determine if
the Grantor, or his personal representatives, heirs, successors, or assigns, is complying with the terms,
conditions, restrictions, and purposes of this Conservation Easement. The Grantee shall also have the
right to enter and go upon the Property for purposes of making scientific or educational observations
and studies, and taking samples. The easement rights granted herein do not include public access

ARTICLE V
ENFORCEMENT AND REMEDIES
A. To accomplish the purposes of this Easement, Grantee is allowed to prevent any activity on or use
of the Property that is inconsistent with the purposes of this Easement and to require the restoration of
such areas or features of the Property that may be damaged by such activity or use. Upon any breach
of the terms of this Conservation Easement by Grantor that comes to the attention of the Grantee, the
Grantee shall notify the Grantor in writing of such breach. The Grantor shall have 30 days after receipt
of such notice to correct the conditions constituting such breach. If the breach remains uncured after
30 days, the Grantee may enforce this Conservation Easement by appropriate legal proceedings
including damages, injunctive and other relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee reserves
the immediate right, without notice, to obtain a temporary restraining order, injunctive or other
appropriate relief if the breach of the term of this Conservation Easement is or would irreversibly or
otherwise materially impair the benefits to be derived from this Conservation Easement. The Grantor
and Grantee acknowledge that under such circumstances damage to the Grantee would be irreparable
and remedies at law will be inadequate. The rights and remedies of the Grantee provided hereunder
shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, all other rights and remedies available to Grantee in connection
with this Conservation Easement. The costs of a breach, correction or restoration, including the
Grantee's expenses, court costs, and attorneys' fees, shall be paid by Grantor, provided Grantor is
determined to be responsible for the breach. NCDWQ shall have the same right to enforce the terms
and conditions of this easement as the Grantee.
B. No failure on the part of the Grantee to enforce any covenant or provision hereof shall discharge or
invalidate such covenant or any other covenant, condition, or provision hereof or affect the right to
Grantee to enforce the same in the event of a subsequent breach or default.
C. Nothing contained in this Conservation Easement shall be construed to entitle Grantee to bring
any action against Grantor for any injury or change in the Property resulting from causes beyond the
Grantor's control, including, without limitation, fire, flood, storm, war, acts of God or third parties,
except Grantor's lessees or invitees; or from any prudent action taken in good faith by Grantor under
emergency conditions to prevent, abate, or mitigate significant injury to life, damage to property or
harm to the Property resulting from such causes.

ARTICLE VI
MISCELLANEOUS
A. Warranty. Grantor warrants, covenants and represents that it owns the Property in fee simple,
and that Grantor either owns all interests in the Property which may be impaired by the granting of this
Conservation Easement or that there are no outstanding mortgages, tax liens, encumbrances, or other
interests in the Property which have not been expressly subordinated to this Conservation Easement.
Grantor further warrants that Grantee shall have the use of and enjoy all the benefits derived from and
arising out of this Conservation Easement, and that Grantor will warrant and defend title to the Property
against the claims of all persons.
B. Subsequent Transfers. The Grantor agrees to incorporate the terms of this Conservation
Easement in any deed or other legal instrument that transfers any interest in all or a portion of the
Property. The Grantor agrees to provide written notice of such transfer at least thirty (30) days prior to
the date of the transfer. The Grantor and Grantee agree that the terms of this Conservation Easement
shall survive any merger of the fee and easement interests in the Property or any portion thereof and
shall not be amended, modified or terminated without the prior written consent and approval of
NCDWQ.
C. Assignment. The parties recognize and agree that the benefits of this Conservation Easement are
in gross and assignable provided, however that the Grantee hereby covenants and agrees, that in the
event it transfers or assigns this Conservation Easement, the organization receiving the interest will be a
qualified holder under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 121 -34 et seq. and § 170(h) of the Internal Revenue Code, and
the Grantee further covenants and agrees that the terms of the transfer or assignment will be such that
the transferee or assignee will be required to continue in perpetuity the conservation purposes described
in this document.
D. Entire Agreement and Severability. This instrument sets forth the entire agreement of the parties
with respect to the Conservation Easement and supersedes all prior discussions, negotiations,
understandings or agreements relating to the Conservation Easement. If any provision is found to be
void or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder shall continue in full force
and effect.
E. Obligations of Ownership. Grantor is responsible for any real estate taxes, assessments, fees, or
charges levied upon the Property. Grantor shall keep the Property free of any liens or other
encumbrances for obligations incurred by Grantor. Grantee shall not be responsible for any costs or
liability of any kind related to the ownership, operation, insurance, upkeep, or maintenance of the
Property, except as expressly provided herein. Nothing herein shall relieve the Grantor of the obligation
to comply with federal, state or local laws, regulations and permits that may apply to the exercise of the
Reserved Rights.
F. Extinguishment. In the event that changed conditions render impossible the continued use of the
Property for the conservation purposes, this Conservation Easement may only be extinguished, in
whole or in part, by judicial proceeding.
G. Eminent Domain. Whenever all or part of the Property is taken in the exercise of eminent domain
5
BOOK 3 0 9 5 PABE 0 5 9
so as to substantially abrogate the Restrictions imposed by this Conservation Easement, Grantor and
Grantee shall join in appropriate actions at the time of such taking to recover the full value of the taking,
and all incidental and direct damages due to the taking.
H. Proceeds. This Conservation Easement constitutes a real property interest immediately vested in
Grantee. In the event that all or a portion of this Property is sold, exchanged, or involuntarily
converted following an extinguishment or the exercise of eminent domain, Grantee shall be entitled to
the fair market value of this Conservation Easement. The parties stipulate that the fair market value of
this Conservation Easement shall be determined by multiplying the fair market value of the Property
unencumbered by this Conservation Easement (minus any increase in value after the date of this grant
attributable to improvements) by the ratio of the value of this easement at the time of this grant to the
value of the Property (without deduction for the value of this Conservation Easement) at the time of this
grant. The values at the time of this grant shall be the values used, or which would have been used, to
calculate a deduction for federal income tax purposes, pursuant to Section 170(h) of the Internal
Revenue Code (whether eligible or ineligible for such a deduction). Grantee shall use its share of the
proceeds in a manner consistent with the purposes of this Conservation Easement.

Conservation Easement shall be sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the following

Easement, then the Grantee's interest shall become vested in another qualified grantee in accordance

natural characteristics of the Property, and its current use and state of improvement, are described in
