AS -BUILT & BASELINE MONITORING REPORT
Black Dirt Mitigation Bank Parcel
Wildlands Holdings III, LLC's Black Dirt Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank
The Black Dirt Mitigation Bank Parcel (Parcel) is part of Wildlands Holdings III, LLC, Black Dirt &
Rosewood Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank (Bank). The Bank Parcel Development Package
(BPDP) was approved in February 2022. The Parcel contains two ditches (Ditches A and B) that drain into
one unnamed tributary (UT1) that then flows approximately half a mile to its confluence with the Neuse
River. The primary purpose of the project is to provide riparian buffer mitigation credits and nutrient
offset credits to compensate for unavoidable impacts in the Neuse River Basin 03020201 Hydrologic
Unit Code (HUC) outside the Falls Lake Watershed. The project has been planned, designed, and
constructed according to the BPDP, the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295
(effective November 1, 2015), and Nutrient Offset Credit Trading 15A NCAC 02B .0703. The Bank service
area is depicted in Figure 2.
1.0 Introduction
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 along UT1, Ditch A, and Ditch
B. Prior to planting, the Parcel was open row crop fields. Approximately 28.3 acres have been protected
along the project features by permanent conservation easement. The conservation easement was
recorded on the Parcel in September 2022.
2.0 Parcel Location & Background
2.1 Location and Setting
The Parcel is in Wayne County, approximately seven miles west of the City of Goldsboro (Figure 1). To
reach the Parcel from the City of Raleigh, travel east on 1-40 for approximately 12 miles. Take exit 309
for US 70 E toward Smithfield/Goldsboro. Continue on US-70 E for approximately 21 miles. Turn right
onto Creech's Mill Road, then left on to Brogden Road. Travel on Brogden Road for approximately 7
miles then turn right onto Lassiter Road. From Lassiter Road turn right onto Ferry Bridge Road and then
left onto Steven's Mill Road. In 3.2 miles the Parcel will be located on the left of Stevens Mill Road
(35.359233 N,-78.102769 W). The project is located within the Neuse River Basin 14-digit HUC
03020201170060 and North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) Subbasin 03-04-12. The
Parcel was restored for riparian buffer mitigation credit and nutrient offset credit in the Neuse River
Basin HUC 03020201 outside of the Falls Lake Watershed (Figure 2).
2. 2 Parcel Background
Prior to construction, the Parcel consisted of open row crop fields, typically planted with corn, wheat,
cotton, or soybeans. In general, this area has maintained its rural, farming character over the last 60
years with only minor changes in land cover. Tables 2, 3, and 4 in Appendix A provide detailed
information regarding the Project Activity and Reporting History, Project Contacts, and Project
Information and Attributes.
W Black Dirt Mitigation Bank Parcel Page 1
As -Built & Baseline Monitoring Report — March 2023

2.3 Parcel Objectives
The main objective of the Parcel is to reduce nutrient and sediment loading to the Neuse River receiving
waters, supply and improve terrestrial and instream habitats, and improve stream and bank stability. By
restoring native vegetation up to 200 feet from top of bank of the project features, the riparian corridor
will slow overland flow velocities and provide filtration for flood flows. This will result in sediment
deposition and nutrient absorption in the floodplain, and subsequently their reduction in input to
project features.
3.0 Restoration Activities
Developing the Parcel for mitigation required converting existing agriculture land use practices adjacent
to streams into riparian forest. Riparian area restoration involved planting appropriate native tree
species along the riparian corridor. In two isolated areas along UT1 straw bales were placed directly
adjacent to the tributary to reduce erosional rills by diverting overland flow. Live stakes were also
planted in these locations along with two stretches of bank along UT1. An additional area at the
confluence of Ditch A and UT1 was previously identified as a concern but was deemed stable at the time
of construction. Refer to Appendix E for photographs of these areas. Herbaceous cover is partially
established across the Parcel; therefore, seeding will take place during the spring of 2023 to ensure
adequate coverage. Vegetation management and herbicide applications may be needed over the first
few years of tree establishment in the riparian restoration areas to prevent encroachment of
undesirable species that may out -compete the planted native vegetation.
The species composition planted was selected based on the desired community type, occurrence of
species in riparian areas adjacent to the Parcel, and best professional judgement. Trees were spaced at 7
feet by 12 feet, which is which is sufficient to meet the performance standards outlined in the Rule 15A
NCAC 02B .0295. Table 6 in appendix A lists the tree species and quantities planted on the Parcel.
The easement was marked using conservation easement placards mounted on t-posts following the
entirety of the boundary. These signs will be maintained and replaced, if necessary, throughout the
monitoring years.
4.0 Project Credit Potential and Deviations from the Bank Parcel Development Package (BPDP)
Of the 28.3 acres protected under the conservation easement, 26.6 acres were restored, of which the
sponsor is requesting 5.1 acres be used to generate riparian buffer credit. The remaining 21.5 acres will
be used to generate nutrient offset nitrogen credits (48,648.503 credits). In general, riparian restoration
area widths on streams extend out to 100 feet from top of bank for buffer credits. Riparian restoration
width extends from top of bank out to 200 feet on ditches and 101 feet to 200 feet on streams for
nutrient offset credits. Minor deviations in credits from the BPDP occurred due to improved accuracy
that the as -built survey provides in comparison to estimates obtained from GIS software. This equated
to an addition of less than 1 (0.313) nutrient offset credit and of 21 buffer credits. A map detailing the
credit generation is provided in Figure 3.
5.0 Monitoring Protocol & Success Criteria
Twenty-two 10-meter by 10-meter vegetation monitoring plots were installed within the buffer
restoration areas to measure the survival of the planted trees (Figure 4). The number of plots required
was determined in accordance with the Carolina Vegetative Sampling Protocol (CVS) Level 2. Vegetation
assessments were completed in January 2023 following the CVS Levels 2 Protocol for Recording
Vegetation, Version 4.2 (Lee et al. 2008). Baseline data shows a planted stem density of 633 stems per
acre (Table 7). This surpasses the requirement of 260 stems per acre at the end of year five monitoring.
W Black Dirt Mitigation Bank Parcel Page 2
As -Built & Baseline Monitoring Report — March 2023

Each year a reference photo will be taken from the southwestern corner of each vegetation plot, and all
planted stems will be marked with flagging tape and recorded.
Yearly monitoring activities will begin in the fall of 2023 and will commence annually in September or
October for the remainder of the monitoring period. Species composition, density, height, vigor, and
survival rates will be evaluated on an annual basis by plot for the entire Parcel. Wildlands shall submit to
NCDWR an annual monitoring report, no later than December 315T of each year for five consecutive
years and will follow the terms and conditions of the BPDP approved in February 2022. The measure of
vegetative success for the Parcel will be the survival of at least four native hardwood tree species, where
no one species is greater than 50% of the established planted stems, and an established density of at
least 260 planted trees per acre at the end of monitoring year five. Appropriate and desirable native
volunteer species may be included in the Parcel's density to meet the performance standards with
NCDWR approval.
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.
6.2 Parcel Maintenance
Adaptive measures will be developed, or appropriate remedial actions will be implemented if the Parcel
or a specific component of the Parcel fails to achieve the success criteria. Parcel 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, fire, flooding, drought, or insects that cause excess tree
mortality. Any actions implemented will be designed to achieve the success criteria and will include a
work schedule and updated monitoring criteria. Any Parcel maintenance performed will be included in
the monitoring report for that year. A rigorous herbicide schedule may be implemented in the first few
years of tree establishment in the restoration areas to prevent establishment of invasive species that
may out -compete native vegetation. The only herbicides used on the Parcel will be aquatic approved
herbicides that will be applied in accordance with North Carolina Department of Agriculture rules and
regulations.
The easement boundary will be checked annually as part of monitoring activities. Easement boundary
conditions as well as any maintenance performed will be reported in the annual monitoring reports to
NCDWR. If mowing is deemed necessary by the Sponsor during the monitoring period, the Sponsor must
receive approval from NCDWR prior to conducting any mowing activities within Zone 1 and Zone 2 of
the Neuse buffers to ensure that no buffer violations have occurred.

Re: Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset — Black Dirt Site
1990 Stevens Mill Rd, Goldsboro (near 35.355881,-78.098135)
Neuse 03020201
Wayne County
Dear Ms. Eckardt,
On March 23, 2021, Katie Merritt, with the Division of Water Resources (DWR), received a request
from you on behalf of Wildlands Engineering, Inc (Wildlands) for a site visit near the above -
referenced site in the Neuse River Basin within the 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Code 03020201. The site
visit was to determine the potential for riparian buffer mitigation and nutrient offset within a
proposed conservation easement boundary, which is more accurately depicted in the attached map
labeled "Figure 1-Site Map" (Figure 1) prepared by Wildlands. The proposed easement boundary in
Figure 1, includes all riparian areas intended to be proposed as part of a private mitigation bank. On
March 25, 2021, Ms. Merritt performed a site assessment of the subject site. Staff with Wildlands
were also present.
Ms. Merritt's evaluation of the features onsite and their associated mitigation determination for the
riparian areas are provided in the table below. This evaluation was made from Top of Bank (TOB)
and landward 200' from each feature for buffer mitigation pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295
(effective November 1, 2015) and for nutrient offset credits pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0703.

'Subjectivity calls for the features were determined by DWR in correspondence dated February 25, 2021 (ID# 2021-0206) using the
1:24,000 scale quadrangle topographic map prepared by USGS and the most recent printed version of the soil survey map prepared by
the NRCS .
2The area of preservation credit within a buffer mitigation site shall comprise of no more than 25 percent (25%) of the total area of buffer
mitigation per 15A NCAC 0295 (o)(5) and 15A NCAC 0295 (o)(4). Site cannot be a Preservation Only site to comply with this rule.
'NC Division of Water Resources - Methodology and Calculations for determining Nutrient Reductions associated with Riparian Buffer
Establishment
'Determinations made for this Site are determined based on the proposal provided in maps and figures submitted with the request.
s All features proposed for buffer mitigation or nutrient offset, must have a planted conservation easement established that includes the
tops of channel banks when being measured perpendicular and landward from the banks, even if no credit is viable within that riparian
area.
6The area of the mitigation site on ephemeral channels shall comprise no more than 25 percent (25%) of the total area of buffer
mitigation per 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(7).
Determinations provided in the table above were based on the proposed conservation easement
boundaries depicted in Figure 1 for the site. The map representing the proposal for the site is
attached to this letter and is initialed by Ms. Merritt on April 19, 2021. Substantial changes to the
proposed easement boundaries could affect the site's potential to generate buffer mitigation and
nutrient offset credits.
This letter does not constitute an approval of this Site to generate buffer and nutrient offset credits.
Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295, a mitigation proposal and a mitigation plan shall be submitted to
DWR for written approval prior to conducting any mitigation activities in riparian areas and/or
surface waters for buffer mitigation credit. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0703, a proposal regarding a
proposed nutrient load -reducing measure for nutrient offset credit shall be submitted to DWR for
approval prior to any mitigation activities in riparian areas and/or surface waters.
All vegetative plantings, performance criteria and other mitigation requirements for riparian
restoration, enhancement and preservation must follow the requirements in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 to
be eligible for buffer and/or nutrient offset mitigation credits. For any areas depicted as not being
viable for nutrient offset credit above, one could propose a different measure, along with supporting
calculations and sufficient detail to support estimates of load reduction, for review by the DWR to
determine viability for nutrient offset in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0703.
