Our response comments are in bold. NCDWR Reviewer: Blake Hartshorn Comment # Page Label Review Comments and Response 1 5 As stated in previous DWR Revision: When describing the restoration areas, make sure to include "and adjacent riparian areas" . In some sections, it only says the riparian restoration or preservation of "riparian buffers". However, "Riparian Buffer" is defined in rules as having a "Zone 1" and a "Zone 2" and only being the area adjacent to streams depicted on certain maps. Not all of your streams on this Parcel were deemed "Subject to the Buffer rules", therefore using the term "Riparian Buffer" is not accurate for describing those areas. Errors can simply be avoided byjust saying "riparian buffers and adjacent riparian areas". The text has been revised to include "and adjacent riparian areas" 2 7 Different HUC code given in in Section 2.4. For future reference you only need 8 digit HUC here. Table 2 has been revised to provide the 8-digit HUC 3 8 This HUC seems to be the correct HUC. Please correct the Project Attributes Table. The HUC provided in Table 2 has been revised to the 8-digit HUC per previous comment. 4 12 We need to know the actual square foot area deducted or reference the credit table once deducted credits are appropriately addressed.

A reference to Table 10 is provided at the end of the paragraph and Table 10 has been revised to include a line item for the diffuse flow deduction. 6 18 add a line item for showing diffused flow deductions since those areas are still being planted and still represent "Total Area" of the site. Credit Type = Buffer Feature Name = Diffused Flow deductions Total Area = how much area is deducted Total Creditable Area for Buffer Mitigation=0 then check No in both boxes for the credits. If the diffuse flow deductions were calculated in another way, please correct the error and address as requested above. This is to ensure a transparent representation of where the deductions are occurring and to ensure DWR knows they have been applied correctly. Line has been added to Table 10 for the diffused flow deductions. 7 28 Please put sf in the call out box that applies to the deduction that will also be entered into the credit table. "Wedge" has been changed to "Angle" and 2,197 sf has been added to call out box. 8 28 Please show the widths within the legend. i.e. 0-100ft and 101-200ft such as it is labeled in the credit table. Widths have been added to legend descriptions. 9 28 This area seems to be bumped out due to tree preservation area. We still need to measure from TOB from the ditch, not the treeline. Please correct and adjust the credit table as well. We have verified that this is accurately shown from the surveyed top of bank. No correction of area needed on Figure 7. However, the boundary was revised on Figure 3. 10 28 Please label the tree preservation area as non-credit area. Non-credit area has been revised with a hatched boundary, labeled and added to legend. 11 28 We need to discuss credit assets maps representative during our meeting.

The project site is approximately 6.5 miles northwest of the Town of Mount Olive and 1.7 miles south of US Highway 13 on McArthur Pond Road in Wayne County, NC (Figure 1). The Bank Parcel Development Package (BPDP) is being submitted for review under the proposed Britt & Hales Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI) between the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) and Eco Terra, LLC, the Bank Sponsor (Eco Terra or Sponsor). The proposed Parcel has been planned and designed according to 15A NCAC 02B .0295 for buffer mitigation, 15A NCAC 02B .0703 for nutrient offsets, and the MBI since Rule .0703 doesn't specifically address riparian restoration for generating nutrient offsets. The Parcel is approximately 24.7 acres (ac) or 1,076,524 square feet (sf) of a 180-ac tract that encompasses a series of forked, interconnected ditches and unnamed tributaries to Falling Creek. The project is located within the Neuse River Basin hydrological unit code (HUC) 03020201, excluding the Falls Watershed. The BPDP is being submitted for riparian buffer and nutrient offset credit in the service area designated by Neuse River Basin HUC 03020201, excluding the Falls Watershed (Figure 2). The Parcel is located in the headwaters of three unnamed tributaries and three agricultural ditches that converge and flow into an unnamed tributary to Falling Creek, approximately 1.8 miles downstream of the project area, and subsequently into the Neuse River. The proposed project will generate 334,369.784 riparian buffer credits (RBC) and 33,149.707 pounds (lbs) of nitrogen nutrient offset credits (NOC). The final project area will be delineated and depicted in the As -Built Survey and submitted with the As -Built Survey. Therefore, credit totals may change slightly depending on the As -Built Survey. The Parcel will address agricultural runoff by reducing sediment and nutrient loading into the unnamed tributaries and Falling Creek. Falling Creek is classified as Water Supply (WS-IV) and Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW) by NCDWR with an impairment for dissolved oxygen. The project area and surrounding areas are open agricultural land, primarily farmed for row crops. The proposed project will improve terrestrial habitats along the streams and ditches by establishing and preserving the riparian buffers and adjacent riparian areas and allowing the land to undergo a natural succession to a forested community. The project will restore forested riparian buffers and adjacent riparian areas a minimum width of 50 feet from tops of banks and extend out to a maximum of approximately 200 feet from the project features (streams and ditches) and will remove rotating crops and fertilizer inputs. The restored riparian buffer and adjacent riparian areas will filter agricultural runoff from the surrounding farm fields and provide shading to reduce stream temperatures and improve aquatic habitat. Invasive vegetation will be managed as needed within the project area to promote native vegetation. The proposed project will provide riparian buffer mitigation and nutrient offsets in the Neuse River Basin. The project involves the restoration and preservation of riparian buffers and adjacent riparian areas along three unnamed tributaries and two ditches that flow to Falling Creek. Land disturbing activities include site preparation for planting trees to enhance the vegetative buffer CCO'kf Britt & Hales Bank Parcel Development Package 4 rrC- HUC 03020201, Excluding Falls Watershed March 2023 Eco Terra, LLC I Britt & Hales Nutrient Offset & Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site up to 200 feet from the streams and ditches within the approximate 24.7-acre project easement. The project area and surrounding areas are open agricultural land, primarily farmed for row crops. Historical land use has been agriculture for the past 70 years according to historical USDA aerials. The project site will be permanently protected and preserved with a conservation easement that will ultimately be transferred to a DWR-approved land trust for long-term stewardship according to the MBI. 2.0 Mitigation Project Summary 2.1 Project Goals The major goal of the proposed buffer and adjacent riparian area restoration is to improve water quality through ecological enhancements within the Neuse River Basin. This will be accomplished with specific goals to address agricultural runoff, including nutrients and sediment, restore terrestrial habitat and protect the project parcel in perpetuity. Specific goals and objectives are outlined in Table 1. Table 7: Water Quality and Ecological Goals and Objectives Goal Objective Establish and restore riparian buffers and adjacent riparian areas to filter runoff and subsurface flows from Reduce nutrient loading adjacent agricultural fields. Remove fertilizer input through conversion of agricultural field to forested ri arian buffer. Establish and restore riparian buffers and adjacent Reduce sediment loading riparian areas to filter runoff from adjacent agricultural fields. Provide vegetative bank stabilization to decrease sediment input. Establish a wide riparian corridor with canopy closure to Decrease water temperature and filter nutrients and provide stream shading, reducing increase dissolved oxygen water temperature and increasing concentration of dissolved oxygen. Restore terrestrial habitat Plant riparian corridor with native vegetation and manage invasives. Protect project in perpetuity Implement and record a conservation easement on the Parcel. 2.2 Existing Conditions The Parcel will convert approximately 22.2 acres of agricultural row crop fields to forested buffers and riparian areas along three unnamed tributaries (UT1, UT2 and UT3) and three agricultural ditches (Ditch Al, 131 and 132). Refer to Figure 3 and Appendix A for the Existing Conditions Map and site photographs collected on June 16, 2022, respectively. The site has been revisited several Vol Britt & Hales Bank Parcel Development Package 5 eCOlerrC- HUC 03020201, Excluding Falls Watershed March 2023 Eco Terra, LLC I Britt & Hales Nutrient Offset & Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site times since the site viability assessment and being initially photographed and there have been no changes to land use nor site conditions. Ditch Al emerges from a farm road to the south of the project area, flows north along the eastern border of the project area before turning west through the project area and transitioning into UT1. UT1, an intermittent stream, continues to flow west, turns to the north before its confluence with UT2 and then continues northward as UT3 to the project terminus. Ditches B1 and B2 flow east and west, respectively, until the transition/confluence with UT2, an intermittent stream. UT2 flows due west to the confluence with Ditch B2, turns north and then flows northeast through the site until its confluence with UT1. It should be noted the centerline of Ditch Al forms the eastern boundary of the conservation easement. Both the unnamed tributaries and agricultural ditches are shown as water features on the 1974 Wayne County Soil Survey, however, are not depicted on the 2019 US Geological Survey's (USGS) Grantham NC 7.5-minute Topographic Quadrangle as stream channels (Figure 4). The Parcel is composed of and surrounded entirely by agricultural fields with the exception of two small wetland areas with existing trees and vegetation to be preserved along UT1 and Ditch Al. Historical aerials denote that land use, including configuration of the channels, at the project site has been consistent since 1959 (see Appendix B). An area of dumped broken concrete exists along the boundary of one of the tree preservation areas. The concrete and any other debris or trash will be removed during the site preparation. Along UT2 and Ditch B1, there are three small areas of bank erosion that will be stabilized as part of the riparian restoration (see Section 4.1). There is a 30-inch reinforced concrete pipe culvert on UT3 within the Parcel near the project's downstream terminus. The pipe will be removed, and the streambanks stabilized at this location (see Sections 2.10 and 4.1). Project attributes associated with the proposed Parcel are outlined in Table 2.

NCDWR issued the official Stream Call Determination letter on April 19, 2022. On May 19, 2022, NCDWR staff re -visited the site to determine the potential for riparian buffer mitigation and nutrient offset within the proposed easement boundary per 15A NCAC 02B .0295 and 15A NCAC 02B .0703, respectively. NCDWR issued the official Site Viability letter on June 15, 2022. A copy of both the "Applicability to the Neuse River Basin Buffer Rules" and "Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset" letters issued by NCDWR are provided in Appendix C and summarized in Table 3.

All of the site's water conveyance features drain to UT3 which flows to an unnamed tributary to Falling Creek. Falling Creek is classified as Water Supply (WS-IV) and Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW) by NCDWR with an impairment for dissolved oxygen. Falling Creek is approximately 1.8 miles downstream of the project area. WS-IV waters are used as sources of water supply for drinking, culinary, or food processing purposes. They are protected for Class C uses which include aquatic life propagation, survival and maintenance of biological integrity, wildlife, secondary recreation and agriculture. The NSW designation is for waters needing nutrient management due to excessive growth of microscopic or macroscopic vegetation. Drainage areas were delineated for the project area's streams (UT1, UT2 and UT3) and viable ditch features (Al, B1 and B2) utilizing Wayne County's 2-foot Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) CCO'kf Britt & Hales Bank Parcel Development Package 7 rrC- HUC 03020201, Excluding Falls Watershed March 2023 Eco Terra, LLC I Britt & Hales Nutrient Offset & Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site data (Figure 5). According to the 2019 USGS National Land Cover Database (NLCD), the drainage area is primarily agricultural use with limited residential use. Table 4 summarizes the drainage areas and current land use.

The Weston (We) soils comprise the majority of the soils underlying the Parcel at 78 percent. UT1 and UT2 are depicted as streams on the 1974 USDA Soil Survey map sheet 35. A description of the site's soils is provided in Table 5. Table 5: Soil Series Well -drained soil on smooth, broad divides.

Broad, flat terraces, adjacent to low -gradient stream channels, characterize both the Middle and Upper Coastal Plains. 2.6 Vegetation Vegetative communities within the project area consist of active row crops of cotton and peanuts and early successional, herbaceous and woody vegetation along the streams and ditches that are mowed and maintained. 2.7 Threatened and Endangered Species The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) database and NC Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) database were utilized to identify federally threatened and endangered species in the project area. In a letter dated June 6, 2022, the USFWS identified four federally threatened and endangered species under the Endangered Species Act and one species under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act as potentially occurring in the project vicinity. According to the USFWS, there are no critical habitats within the project area. A review of the NC Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) data dated May 26, 2022 did not identify any known occurrences of federally listed species within one mile of the project site; however, a Managed Area is within a 1-mile radius. The area, associated with the Falling Creek Mitigation Parcel, is managed by Unique Places to Save. Multiple site visits have occurred over the past 18 months observing site conditions, habitat, and potential presence of species. No species, suitable habitat, or critical habitats were observed within the project boundaries resulting in a "no effect" determination for subject species. Additionally, no eagles, eagle nests, nor American kestrels were observed, and construction activities will occur outside the window for the potential presence of the migrating American Kestrel and breeding time for local birds. The USFWS Self -Certification Letter, dated June 10, 2022, has been submitted to the Raleigh Field Office requesting comment from USFWS. A response was not received from the USFWS within the 45-day response period. All of the letters and responses have been included in the Appendix D. Table 6 summarizes the threatened and endangered species evaluation. Table 6: Federally Listed Species 7Picoidesrealis Red -cockaded Woodpecker Endangered No Necturus lewisi Neuse River Waterdo Threatened No Noturus furiosus Carolina Madtom Endangered No Danaus plexippus Monarch Butterfly Candidate No 2.8 Cultural Resources The National Historic Preservation Act declares a national policy of historic preservation to protect, rehabilitate, restore, and reuse districts, sites, buildings, structures and objects significant in American architecture, history, archaeology and culture. Section 106 mandates that federal eCOlAO Britt & Hales Bank Parcel Development Package 9 errC- HUC 03020201, Excluding Falls Watershed March 2023 Eco Terra, LLC I Britt & Hales Nutrient Offset & Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site agencies take into account the effect that a project may have on a property that is included in or is eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. The NC State Historic Preservation Office's (SHPO) online mapping resource was reviewed to determine the presence of known historic resources at or near the project site. According to the database, there are no known historical resources within the project site. The Littleton House (WY0384) is the closest resource which is located 2.3 miles from the project site. The Littleton House is classified as a "Survey Only" site and will not be disturbed for the proposed project. A letter was submitted to SHPO on May 19, 2022, requesting review and comment. SHPO responded on June 15, 2022 indicating that they were not aware of any historic resources that would be affected by the project. Both letters are included in the Appendix D. 2.9 FEMA Floodplain and Permitting Compliance The Parcel is not located within the 100-year floodplain and will not require FEMA coordination nor a floodplain development permit. Neither grading activities nor hydraulic modeling are proposed for this project. The project will not encroach on the NCDOT right-of-way along McArthur Pond Road. There are no other known easements at or near the project site that would prevent project implementation. 2.10 Parcel Constraints and Access The Parcel can be accessed via a driveway off McArthur Pond Road and a farm field path for long- term access and site maintenance and monitoring. There is a 30-inch reinforced concrete pipe culvert on UT3 within the Parcel near the project's downstream terminus. The culvert currently provides the landowner with a walkable access to cross the stream; however, this pipe will be removed, and a crossing will be provided downstream in an area outside of the proposed conservation easement. Refer to Appendix A, Figure 3- Existing Conditions Map. There are no other known constraints on the proposed project Parcel. 2.11 Other Environmental Conditions A site assessment was conducted by Environmental Data Resources (EDR) to comply with standards set forth by EPA, ASTM and other environmental due diligence requests to evaluate environmental risk for the Parcel. The EDR report, May 24, 2022, determined the site was not located in any Federal, State or Tribal environmental databases and there were no known, potentially hazardous, waste sites within or immediately adjacent to the project site. The EDR report is provided in Appendix E. 3.0 Site Protection Instrument and Long-term Management The land required to plant and restore the riparian buffer and adjacent riparian areas, access the conservation easement, and manage the mitigation project includes 24.7 acres of the Parcel listed in Table 7. The Parcel will be transferred to an approved NCDWR long-term stewardship entity prior to the submittal of the Year 4 Monitoring Report. It will remain in private ownership, "t Britt & Hales Bank Parcel Development Package 10 eCOlerrC- HUC 03020201, Excluding Falls Watershed March 2023 Eco Terra, LLC I Britt & Hales Nutrient Offset & Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site protected in its entirety by the long-term stewardship entity, and will be managed under the terms detailed in an approved NCDWR conservation easement. The long-term trustee and manager will be responsible for the periodic inspection of the Parcel to ensure the conservation easement is upheld and the land is protected in perpetuity. Eco Terra has selected Southern Conservation Trust, Inc. (SCT) to assume responsibility as holding the conservation easement and serving as the long-term steward. Refer to Appendix F for SCT's letter of intent. Table 7: Landowner and Long-term Protection 4.0 Mitigation Work Plan The proposed project will restore high quality riparian buffers and adjacent riparian areas along three ditches (Ditch Al, 131 and 132) and three unnamed tributaries (UT1, UT2 and UT3) that flow to an unnamed tributary to Falling Creek. The Parcel will provide riparian buffer mitigation credits by protecting the riparian area from top of bank to a minimum 30-foot width and maximum 100- foot width along the streams (UT1, UT2 and UT3). Buffer mitigation credits are also proposed through preservation of a riparian area adjacent to UT1 for a minimum 30-foot width and maximum 200-ft width. The Parcel will provide nutrient offset credits by protecting the riparian area from the 100-foot offset from top of banks along the streams and minimum 50-foot width along the ditches, to a maximum 200-foot width. Ditch Al is subject to the Buffer Interpretation/Clarification Memo #2008-019 where maintenance of diffuse flow into the conservation easement cannot be attained. Where Ditch Al enters the easement boundary, a 60- degree angle has been drafted 50 feet downstream which represents the deduction in buffer credit. Refer to the Project Credit Table (Table 10) for diffused flow deduction. The project will not have any adverse impacts to existing stream and water conveyances. 4.1 Parcel Preparation The land proposed for riparian restoration is currently in agricultural row crop production, therefore the site preparation will require minimal soil disturbance. Soil fertility will be assessed to determine any site soil deficiencies prior to plant establishment. Planting will occur using mechanical and manual methods. Soil ripping will occur in the mechanically planted rows to break up plow pans and compacted soils. Additional site preparation such as ripping and disking will occur within farm paths proposed for planting. Appropriate pre -emergent and aquatic -safe herbicide will be applied by a licensed NC pesticide applicator in the tree rows to control potential herbaceous weed competition. Additional herbicide will be applied within the planting rows during the post -planting phase for at least the first three years as needed and approved by NCDWR. Any invasive plants will be controlled eCOlA# Britt & Hales Bank Parcel Development Package 11 errC- HUC 03020201, Excluding Falls Watershed March 2023 Eco Terra, LLC I Britt & Hales Nutrient Offset & Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site mechanically (e.g., bushhogging between the rows) and chemically (e.g., herbicidal spray application). The fields within the project area contain limited number of invasive plants and herbicide will only be sprayed in areas where there is an existing population of non-native invasive plant species. Areas immediately adjacent to the top of banks will not be ripped to prevent soil erosion and runoff from entering the surface water. Non-native invasive species are present and will be removed during planting to minimize potential for competition with target vegetative communities. As noted in the NCDWR Site Viability Assessment letter, there is an area of concrete debris that exists along the forested area to be preserved that will be removed and stabilized. Planting rows will be approximately aligned to follow the existing contours to impede overland flow and prevent erosion. Sediment and erosion control measures may be utilized, if necessary, in all areas with existing rills and unstable banks, as well as areas prone to erosion, to prevent stormwater runoff from entering surface waters during construction. Minor bank/riparian stabilization and grading will be provided where erosional rills, sink holes and gullies are observed on the banks of Ditch 131 and UT2 and where the 30-inch RCP culvert will be removed from UT3. Stabilization will include minor grading, erosion control matting, seeding and/or live stakes planted as necessary for soil stabilization. No DEMLR nor local County permits are anticipated for stabilizing compromised areas. An appropriate temporary seed mix will be applied, as necessary, to provide temporary ground cover for soil stabilization and reduction of sediment loss during rain events in areas without existing herbaceous cover. 4.2 Restoration Activities The planting plan for the riparian restoration area includes restoring native tree species with bare root seedlings and seeding to convert the active farming area to a vegetated riparian corridor. Trees will be planted with a density sufficient to meet the performance standards outlined in the Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 and in the MBI of 260 trees per acre at the end of five years. Initial planting densities will be between approximately 726 trees per acre (6-foot by 10-foot spacing). All species will be well mixed in the bags, prior to being planted, to ensure adequate distribution across the planting areas. Eco Terra will oversee the planting efforts by the planting crews to ensure adequate stem placement and diversity, including planting the top of banks. The Parcel's riparian buffers and adjacent riparian areas will be re -vegetated with species consistent of those identified during the reference survey and additional species suggested by Schafale (2012) for the Mesic Mixed Forest and Coastal Plain Small Stream Swamp (blackwater subtype) Forest communities. Target community tree species are shown in Table 8, which include 12 species and ensure that no one tree species will be greater than 50% as noted in the aforementioned rule. An appropriate permanent seed mixture will be planted that may include species beneficial to pollinators or species that act as larval hosts for pollinators such as butterflies (e.g., big bluestem). Seeding will not be applied to areas with an existing native herbaceous layer. Planting will occur in early April. eCOlA# Britt & Hales Bank Parcel Development Package 12 errC- HUC 03020201, Excluding Falls Watershed March 2023 Eco Terra, LLC I Britt & Hales Nutrient Offset & Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site Table 8: Proposed Planting Plan ICarpinus caroliniana American MMF/SSS Subcanopy 6% Hornbeam Diospyros virginiana Persimmon M Subcanopy/MF/SSS 9% Canopy Fraxinus Green Ash SSS Canopy 3% pennsylvanica Nyssa biflora Swamp Tupelo SSS Canopy 3% Nyssa sylvatica Blackgum MMF Canopy 6% Platanus occidentalis Sycamore MMF/SSS Canopy 12% Quercus lyrata Overcup Oak SSS Subcanopy/6% Canopy Quercus michauxii Swamp Chestnut MMF/SSS Canopy 15% Oak Quercus nigra Water Oak MMF/SSS Canopy 9% Quercus pagoda Cherrybark Oak MMF Canopy 9% Quercus phellos Willow Oak MMF/SSS Canopy 16% Quercus shumardii Shumard Oak MMF Canopy 6% Andropogon gerardi Big bluestem Permanent Seed Mix Panicum virgatum Switchgrass Permanent Seed Mix Sorghastrum nutans Indiangrass Permanent Seed Mix *SSS-small stream swamp; MMF-mesic hardwood forest 4.3 NCDWR As -Built Evaluation Within 30 calendar days after completing the establishment of the buffer and nutrient offset areas, the Sponsor will submit written notification to NCDWR documenting that all buffer mitigation and nutrient offset activities have been completed. Failure to submit written notification within 30 days may result in a modified credit release schedule or a delay in the issuance of credit releases. An as -built report will be submitted to NCDWR, following the restoration planting, to document the mitigation work plan to date. Britt & Hales Bank Parcel Development Package 13 eCOlerrC- HUC 03020201, Excluding Falls Watershed March 2023 Eco Terra, LLC I Britt & Hales Nutrient Offset & Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site 5.0 Maintenance and Monitoring Plan The maintenance and monitoring plan has been developed to demonstrate required performance standards and success criteria are met and project goals and objectives are achieved. 5.1 Performance Standards The performance standards for the proposed project follow approved criteria presented in the Buffer Mitigation Rule (15A NCAC 02B .0295). Annual monitoring and semi-annual site visits will be conducted to assess the condition of the finished project. Performance standards will be evaluated throughout the five-year post -construction monitoring period and summarized annually in a monitoring report. This annual report shall provide project data and chronicle issues that arise during the five-year monitoring period. The Sponsor shall submit annual monitoring reports to NCDWR by December 31st of each year for at least 5 consecutive years until project close-out and will follow the terms and conditions of the Britt & Hales MBI. 5.2 Monitoring Permanent vegetation monitoring plots will be established and assessed within the riparian buffer and adjacent riparian areas to document the survival and vigor of the planted trees. A total of 18 plots that are 10 meters by 10 meters each will be randomly established within the planted restoration areas to document tree survival (Figure 7). The number of plots represent two percent of the total mitigation area and is calculated as follows: 2% x 968,232 sf = 19,365 sf = 1,799 square meters 1,799 square meters - 10 meter x 10 meter plot = 18 plots The Buffer Mitigation Rule (15A NCAC 02B .0295) and corresponding MBI require survival of at least 260 stems per acre at the end of the five-year monitoring period. Measures will be taken to ensure that plots are diverse, where a minimum of four native hardwood tree species are represented and where no one species represents more than 50 percent of the plot. Vegetation monitoring will follow the Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) — NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) Protocol for Recording Vegetation (2008). The vegetation plots will be photographed each year with an additional seven photographs (25 total) taken to document project condition and easement integrity. All photos will be taken at the same location and orientation each year. Plots will be demarcated with durable PVC or metal markers and flagging during the monitoring period. Visual assessments will be performed twice a year during the five-year monitoring period. Areas of concern, low stem density, invasive species or easement encroachment, will be mapped, photographed and described in the monitoring report. Problem areas will be re-evaluated during subsequent site visits. Table 9 summarizes the proposed monitoring plan components associated with this project.

In order to meet performance standards and determine stem health, species, height, planting date and vigor will be documented for each monitoring plot and included in the annual report. Upon NCDWR approval, desirable native volunteer species may be included in the overall tree density for the Parcel to meet performance standards and success criteria. 5.3 Parcel Maintenance Actions will be taken to correct issues identified in the annual monitoring reports that jeopardize the success of the project such as tree survival and easement encroachment. Parcel maintenance activities will be included in annual reports. As noted in the Parcel Preparation section, effective herbicide application is critical to success of restoration areas, primarily historical agricultural land. Herbicides approved for aquatic environments will be applied as necessary and in accordance with the NCDA rules and regulations by a qualified NC licensed pesticide/herbicide applicator. Prior approval from NCDWR is required if mowing within Zones 1 and 2 of the Neuse River basin buffers is deemed necessary. 5.4 Parcel Boundary Maintenance Conservation easement boundaries will be clearly marked with fencing, posts, paint or other permanent material and will include appropriate contact information on the boundaries. Established boundaries between the easement and the remaining parcel in agriculture will ensure project protection and prevent encroachment. Boundary installation will occur immediately after planting is completed and prior to the as -built survey and the Task 2 Milestone of the Credit Release Schedule/DWR site walk according to the MBI. Boundary markers incidentally destroyed, damaged or disturbed will be repaired and/or replaced as needed during the monitoring period and in the future under the long-term trustee management. All easement boundaries will be visually assessed twice per year as part of the monitoring protocol. Any easement encroachment or performed maintenance will be documented in the annual monitoring reports. 6.0 Financial Assurances 6.1 Performance and Maintenance Bonds Following approval of the Britt & Hales Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset Plan, the Sponsor shall provide a Performance Bond from a surety that is rated no less than an "A-" as rated by A.M. Best. The performance bond amount shall be 100 percent of the estimated cost for implementation of the project, but not less than $150,000 to comply with the MBI. In lieu of Vol Britt & Hales Bank Parcel Development Package 15 CCO'k rrC- HUC 03020201, Excluding Falls Watershed March 2023 Eco Terra, LLC I Britt & Hales Nutrient Offset & Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site posting the performance bond, the Sponsor may elect to construct the project prior to the first credit release. Under the latter option, a performance bond is not necessary. After completion of the restoration/construction, a separate Performance/Maintenance Bond will be secured for 100 percent of the estimated cost, but not less than $100,000 to comply with the MBI. Upon NCDWR approval, this may be lowered each year based on the adjusted cost to complete the monitoring. Performance bonds for monitoring shall be renewed at least annually to cover the next year's monitoring period, with confirmation of renewal provided to NCDWR with each annual monitoring report (when applicable). NCDWR reserves the right to alter the credit release schedule if monitoring reports are submitted without proof of bond renewals. Refer to Appendix F for Southern Conservation Trust's estimate for long-term endowment. 7.0 Determination of Credits and Credit Release 7.1 Credit Potential The potential project credits are based on the top of bank of the three unnamed tributaries (UT1, UT2 and UT3) and three agricultural ditches (Ditch Al, B1 and 132). All areas within 200-linear feet landward of the top of bank will be planted and accounted as either riparian buffer credit or nutrient offset credit with the exception of the area where diffuse flow cannot be attained from Ditch Al. The entire conservation easement boundary will be planted, however a credit deduction has been calculated for the 60-degree angle where Ditch Al enters the easement boundary. Refer to Figures 7 and 8 for a depiction of the proposed Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Credit areas for the Parcel. Riparian restoration adjacent to the streams is primarily intended to be used to generate RBC out to 100 feet and to generate NOCs beyond 100 feet in width. RBC's generated from preservation areas are capped at 25% of the total area. The preservation area for the proposed Parcel represents 1.8% of total area. Riparian restoration adjacent to the ditches will be used to generate NOC because they are not viable to generate RBC. Credits that could be converted from RBC to NOC if still available are depicted in Table 10. Any credit conversion requests must be submitted to DWR in writing and receive written approval from DWR prior to debiting or crediting credits from the Parcel's credit ledgers. It should be noted the final project area will be delineated and depicted in the As -Built Survey and submitted with the As -Built Survey. Therefore, credit totals may change slightly depending on the As -Built Survey. The project's credit potential is summarized in the Project Credit Table (Table 10). In accordance with the MBI, any credit conversions will be calculated using the guidance provided in the Clarified Procedures for Calculating Buffer Mitigation Credits and Nutrient Offset Credits letter issued by the NCDWR. 7.2 Credit Release Upon submittal of the appropriate documentation by the Sponsor and subsequent approval by NCDWR, the riparian buffer and nutrient credits associated with the Britt & Hales Nutrient Offset & Riparian Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel will be released as described in the approved MBI.

The enclosed map(s) depict the feature(s) evaluated and this information is also summarized in the table below. Streams were evaluated for being ephemeral, at least intermittent, and for subjectivity to the Neuse River Basin Riparian Area Protection Rules. Streams that are considered "Subject" have been located on the most recently published County NRCS Soil Survey and/or the most recent copy of the USGS Topographic (at 1:24,000 scale) map(s), have been located on the ground at the site, and possess characteristics that qualify them to be at least intermittent streams. Features that are considered "Not Subject" have been determined to not be at least intermittent, not present on the property, or not depicted on the required maps. This determination only addresses the applicability to the buffer rules within the proposed easement and does not approve any activity within buffers or within waters of the state. There may be other streams or features located on the property that appear or do not appear on the maps referenced above. Any of the features on the site may be considered jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of Engineers and subject to the Clean Water Act.

Olive NC Neuse 03020201 Wayne County Dear Mr. Burbage, On April 27, 2022, Katie Merritt, with the Division of Water Resources (DWR), received a request from you on behalf of EcoTerra Partners, LLC (EcoTerra) 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 adjacent to features within a proposed conservation easement boundary, which are more accurately depicted in the attached maps labeled "Figure 1" and "Figure 2" prepared by EcoTerra and edited by DWR. The proposed easement boundary includes all riparian areas intended to be proposed as part of the mitigation site. On May 19, 2022, Ms. Merritt performed a site assessment of the subject site. Staff with EcoTerra 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 JOB) 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.

'The 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). 7The area described as an Enhancement Site was assessed and determined to comply with all of 15A NCAC 02B .0295(o)(6). Cattle exclusion fencing is required to be installed around the mitigation area to get buffer credit under this part of the rule. Determinations provided in the table above were made using a proposed easement boundary showing proposed mitigation areas and features shown in Figure 2 and Figure 1 respectively. The map representing the proposal for the site is attached to this letter and initialed by Ms. Merritt on June 15, 2022.

The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). If your project area contains suitable habitat for any of the federally -listed species on this species list, the proposed action has the potential to adversely affect those species. If suitable habitat is present, surveys should be conducted to determine the species' presence or absence within the project area. The use of this species list and/or North Carolina Natural Heritage program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys. New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list. The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered 06/06/2022 species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or designated critical habitat. A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having similar physical impacts) that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2) (c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12. If a Federal agency determines, based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by the proposed project, the agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service recommends that candidate species, proposed species and proposed critical habitat be addressed within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the "Endangered Species Consultation Handbook" at: http://www.fws.gov/endangered/esa-library/pdf/TOC-GLOS.PDF Migratory Birds: In addition to responsibilities to protect threatened and endangered species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), there are additional responsibilities under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) to protect native birds from project -related impacts. Any activity, intentional or unintentional, resulting in take of migratory birds, including eagles, is prohibited unless otherwise permitted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)). For more information regarding these Acts see https://www.fws.gov/birds/policies-and-regulations.php. The MBTA has no provision for allowing take of migratory birds that may be unintentionally killed or injured by otherwise lawful activities. It is the responsibility of the project proponent to comply with these Acts by identifying potential impacts to migratory birds and eagles within applicable NEPA documents (when there is a federal nexus) or a Bird/Eagle Conservation Plan (when there is no federal nexus). Proponents should implement conservation measures to avoid or minimize the production of project -related stressors or minimize the exposure of birds and their resources to the project -related stressors. For more information on avian stressors and recommended conservation measures see https://www.fws.gov/birds/bird-enthusiasts/threats-to- birds.php. In addition to MBTA and BGEPA, Executive Order 13186: Responsibilities of Federal Agencies to Protect Migratory Birds, obligates all Federal agencies that engage in or authorize activities that might affect migratory birds, to minimize those effects and encourage conservation measures that will improve bird populations. Executive Order 13186 provides for the protection of both migratory birds and migratory bird habitat. For information regarding the implementation of Executive Order 13186, please visit https://www.fws.gov/birds/policies-and-regulations/ executive-orders/e0-13186. php. 06/06/2022 3 We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Code in the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project that you submit to our office.

The proposed project will provide riparian buffer and nutrient offset mitigation in the Neuse River Basin. The project involves the restoration and preservation of riparian buffers along two unnamed tributaries and three ditches that flow to Falling Creek. Land disturbing activities include site preparation for planting trees to enhance the vegetative buffer up to 200 feet from the streams and ditches within the approximate 24.7-acre project easement. The project area and surrounding areas are open agricultural land, primarily farmed for row crops. Historical land use has been agriculture for the past 70 years according to historical USDA aerials. The project site will be permanently protected and preserved with a conservation easement that will ultimately be transferred to a land trust for long-term stewardship. Project Location: Approximate location of the project can be viewed in Google Maps: https: www. google.com/maps/Q35.255153500000006,-78.16481822980536,14z Counties: Wayne County, North Carolina 06/06/2022 3 Endangered Species Act Species There is a total of 4 threatened, endangered, or candidate species on this species list. Species on this list should be considered in an effects analysis for your project and could include species that exist in another geographic area. For example, certain fish may appear on the species list because a project could affect downstream species. IPaC does not display listed species or critical habitats under the sole jurisdiction of NOAA Fisheriesi, as USFWS does not have the authority to speak on behalf of NOAA and the Department of Commerce.

For guidance on when to schedule activities or implement avoidance and minimization measures to reduce impacts to migratory birds on your list, click on the PROBABILITY OF PRESENCE SUMMARY at the top of your list to see when these birds are most likely to be present and breeding in your project area. NAME BREEDING SEASON American Kestrel Falco sparvenus paulus Breeds Apr 1 to Aug 31 This is a Bird of Conservation Concern (BCC) only in particular Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) in the continental USA https:Hecos.fws.gov/ecp/species/9587 Probability Of Presence Summary The graphs below provide our best understanding of when birds of concern are most likely to be present in your project area. This information can be used to tailor and schedule your project activities to avoid or minimize impacts to birds. Please make sure you read and understand the FAQ "Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report" before using or attempting to interpret this report. 06/06/2022 Probability of Presence (■) Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in the 10km grid cell(s) your project overlaps during a particular week of the year. (A year is represented as 12 4-week months.) A taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. The survey effort (see below) can be used to establish a level of confidence in the presence score. One can have higher confidence in the presence score if the corresponding survey effort is also high. How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps: The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in the week where the species was detected divided by the total number of survey events for that week. For example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and the Spotted Towhee was found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in week 12 is 0.25. 2. To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of presence is calculated. This is the probability of presence divided by the maximum probability of presence across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of presence in week 20 for the Spotted Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week 12 (0.25) is the maximum of any week of the year. The relative probability of presence on week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is 0.05/0.25 = 0.2. 3. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical conversion so that all possible values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the probability of presence score. Breeding Season( ) Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time -frame inside which the bird breeds across its entire range. If there are no yellow bars shown for a bird, it does not breed in your project area. Survey Effort (1) Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of surveys performed for that species in the 10km grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The number of surveys is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys. No Data (—) A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week. Survey Timeframe Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant information. The exception to this is areas off the Atlantic coast, where bird returns are based on all years of available data, since data in these areas is currently much more sparse. probability of presence breeding season I survey effort — no data 06/06/2022 3 SPECIES JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC American BCRestrel — — — — — — — — — — — — gill 111111111111 im - - - - - - - - ----'--- Additional information can be found using the following links: • Birds of Conservation Concern https://www.fws.gov/program/migratory-birds/species • Measures for avoiding and minimizing impacts to birds https://www.fws.gov/library collections/avoidinp--and-minimizinv--incidental-take-mip-ratorv-birds • Nationwide conservation measures for birds https://www.fws.gov/sites/default/files/ documents/nationwide-standard-conservation-measures.pdf Migratory Birds FAQ Tell me more about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds. Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize impacts to all birds at any location year round. Implementation of these measures is particularly important when birds are most likely to occur in the project area. When birds may be breeding in the area, identifying the locations of any active nests and avoiding their destruction is a very helpful impact minimization measure. To see when birds are most likely to occur and be breeding in your project area, view the Probability of Presence Summary. Additional measures or permits may be advisable depending on the type of activity you are conducting and the type of infrastructure or bird species present on your project site. What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location? The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCQ and other species that may warrant special attention in your project location. The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as occurring in the 10km grid cell(s) which your project intersects, and that have been identified as warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Act requirements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to offshore activities or development. Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your project area. It is not representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list of all birds potentially present in your project area, please visit the AKN Phenology Tool. What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location? 06/06/2022 4 The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). This data is derived from a growing collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets . Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information becomes available. To learn more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and how to interpret them, go the Probability of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me about these graphs" link. How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering, migrating or present year-round in my project area? To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding, wintering, migrating or year-round), you may refer to the following resources: The Cornell Lab of Ornithology All About Birds Bird Guide, or (if you are unsuccessful in locating the bird of interest there), the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Neotropical Birds guide. If a bird on your migratory bird species list has a breeding season associated with it, if that bird does occur in your project area, there may be nests present at some point within the timeframe specified. If "Breeds elsewhere" is indicated, then the bird likely does not breed in your project area. What are the levels of concern for migratory birds? Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern: 1. "BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) that are of concern throughout their range anywhere within the USA (including Hawaii, the Pacific Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands); 2. "BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) in the continental USA; and 3. "Non -BCC - Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on your list either because of the Eagle Act requirements (for eagles) or (for non -eagles) potential susceptibilities in offshore areas from certain types of development or activities (e.g. offshore energy development or longline fishing). Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made, in particular, to avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC species of rangewide concern. For more information on conservation measures you can implement to help avoid and minimize migratory bird impacts and requirements for eagles, please see the FAQs for these topics. Details about birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species and groups of bird species within your project area off the Atlantic Coast, please visit the Northeast Ocean Data Portal. The Portal also offers data and information about other taxa besides birds that may be helpful to you in your project review. Alternately, you may download the bird model results files underlying the portal maps through the NOAA NCCOS Integrative Statistical Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf project webpage. 06/06/2022 5 Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use throughout the year, including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this information. For additional information on marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Study and the nanotag studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam Lorin. What if I have eagles on my list? If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid violating the Eagle Act should such impacts occur. Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of birds of priority concern. To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for identifying what other birds may be in your project area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location". Please be aware this report provides the "probability of presence" of birds within the 10 km grid cell(s) that overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look carefully at the survey effort (indicated by the black vertical bar) and for the existence of the "no data" indicator (a red horizontal bar). A high survey effort is the key component. If the survey effort is high, then the probability of presence score can be viewed as more dependable. In contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and, therefore, a lack of certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting point for identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might be there, and if they might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps you know what to look for to confirm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement conservation measures to avoid or minimize potential impacts from your project activities, should presence be confirmed. To learn more about conservation measures, visit the FAQ "Tell me about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds" at the bottom of your migratory bird trust resources page. 06/06/2022 [:] IPaC User Contact Information Agency: McAdams Name: Kerry Bray Address: 2905 Meridian Parkway City: Durham State: NC Zip: 27713 Email bray@mcadamsco.com Phone: 9192870812 ENT OF Tye' rri O ,A CH 3 A United States Department of the Interior Project Name FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE Raleigh Field Office P.O.

Britt & Hales - Conservation Easement, 220228 Dear Alec Pierzga. D_ Reid Wilson, Secretary Misty Buchanan Deputy Director, Natural Heritage Program NCNHDE-18092 The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above. Based on the project area mapped with your request, a query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not imply or confirm their absence, the area may not have been surveyed. The results of this query should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our records. The attached `Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have been documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one -mile radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report. If a Federally -listed species is found within the project area or is indicated within a one -mile radius of the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here. httl2s //www.fws.gov/offices/Directory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37. Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission. The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Land and Water Fund easement, or Federally - listed species are documented near the project area.

The project information is summarized below. Project Name: Britt and Hales Buffer Mitigation Site Project Location: 145 McArthur Pond Rd Mount Olive, North Carolina 28365 Wayne County 35.254653,-78.164589 Project Contact: Scott J. Frederick Eco Terra, LLC 117 Centrewest Court Cary, NC 27513 919.368.2029 Scott@ecoterra.com Project Description: The Britt and Hales Buffer Mitigation Site is located near Mount Olive, NC, in the Upper Falling Creek watershed of the Neuse River Basin (HUC 03020201). The proposed project will provide riparian buffer and nutrient offset mitigation in the Neuse River Basin. The project involves the restoration and preservation of riparian buffers along two unnamed tributaries and three ditches that flow to Falling Creek. Land disturbing activities include site preparation for planting trees to enhance the vegetative buffer up to 200 feet from the streams and ditches within the approximate 24.7-acre project easement. The 1328 Dekalb Avenue NE, Atlanta, GA 30307 1 EcoTerraxom ecolerraR. project area and surrounding areas are open agricultural land, primarily farmed for row crops. Historical land use has been agriculture for the past 70 years according to historical USDA aerials. The project site will be permanently protected and preserved with a conservation easement that will ultimately be transferred to a land trust for long- term stewardship. The NC State Historic Preservation Office's online mapping resource was reviewed to determine the presence of known historic resources at or near the project site. According to the database, there are no known historical resources within the project site. The Littleton House (WY0384) is the closest resource which is located 2.3 miles from the project site. The Littleton House is classified as a "Survey Only" site and will not be disturbed for the proposed project. Project Area Map: See attached Figures 1 and 2 Site Photographs: See attached We are requesting that you review the project site to determine if any historic resources are present within the proposed conservation easement as shown in the attached Figures 1 and 2. If you should have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at (919) 368-2029. Sincerely, Scott J.

The list was formerly known as the CERCLIS-NFRAP, renamed to SEMS ARCHIVE by the EPA in 2015. EPA may perform a minimal level of assessment work at a site while it is archived if site conditions change and/or new information becomes available. Archived sites have been removed and archived from the inventory of SEMS sites. Archived status indicates that, to the best of EPA's knowledge, assessment at a site has been completed and that EPA has determined no further steps will be taken to list the site on the National Priorities List (NPL), unless information indicates this decision was not appropriate or other considerations require a recommendation for listing at a later time. The decision does not necessarily mean that there is no hazard associated with a given site; it only means that. based upon available information, the location is not judged to be potential NPL site.

Manufactured gas sites were used in the United States from the 1800's to 1950's to produce a gas that could be distributed and used as fuel. These plants used whale oil, rosin, coal, or a mixture of coal, oil, and water that also produced a significant amount of waste. Many of the byproducts of the gas production, such as coal tar (oily waste containing volatile and non-volatile chemicals), sludges, oils and other compounds are potentially hazardous to human health and the environment. The byproduct from this process was frequently disposed of directly at the plant site and can remain or spread slowly, serving as a continuous source of soil and groundwater contamination.

Assessment of the impact of contaminant migration generally has two principle investigative components: 1. Groundwater flow direction, and 2. Groundwater flow velocity. Groundwater flow direction may be impacted by surface topography, hydrology, hydrogeology, characteristics of the soil, and nearby wells. Groundwater flow velocity is generally impacted by the nature of the geologic strata. TC6992408.2s Page A-1 GEOCHECK® - PHYSICAL SETTING SOURCE SUMMARY GROUNDWATER FLOW DIRECTION INFORMATION Groundwater flow direction for a particular site is best determined by a qualified environmental professional using site -specific well data. If such data is not reasonably ascertainable, it may be necessary to rely on other sources of information, such as surface topographic information, hydrologic information, hydrogeologic data collected on nearby properties, and regional groundwater flow information (from deep aquifers). TOPOGRAPHIC INFORMATION Surface topography may be indicative of the direction of surficial groundwater flow. This information can be used to assist the environmental professional in forming an opinion about the impact of nearby contaminated properties or, should contamination exist on the target property, what downgradient sites might be impacted.

If such data are not reasonably ascertainable, it may be necessary to rely on other sources of information, including geologic age identification, rock stratigraphic unit and soil characteristics data collected on nearby properties and regional soil information. In general, contaminant plumes move more quickly through sandy -gravelly types of soils than silty -clayey types of soils.

We understand that you are in the submittal phase of a revised BPDP for the project. We plan to work with you as the project moves forward and are ready to assume responsibility for holding the easement as soon as it is ready to be recorded. We are also agreeable to and intend to serve as the long-term steward upon project closeout. We estimate we will need approximately $24,500 as a long-term endowment for the responsibilities summarized in the BPDP you provided dated September 2022. Please don't hesitate to reach out for discussion if adjustments need to be made to meet new mitigation plan or third party requirements. Our 501(c)(3) nonprofit land trust is a qualified easement holder and committed to elevating nature through exceptional stewardship. We hold conservation easements and own and manage fee simple property throughout the state of North Carolina, including in the region of this particular project. We are prepared and well-equipped to carry out the long term stewardship responsibilities detailed in the plan you have proposed. We look forward to working with you, the North Carolina Division of Water Resources, and landowner partners on this important mitigation project in the Neuse River Basin HUC 03020201. Please reach out to us at the contact information below. Our Director of Conservation & Stewardship, Jesse Woodsmith, is available to answer any questions you may have or provide clarification.
