Executive Summary
Wildlands Holdings X, LLC ("Sponsor") proposes to develop the Wildlands Cape Fear 03 Umbrella
Mitigation Bank. Wildlands Holdings X, LLC is wholly owned by Wildlands Engineering, Inc. (Wildlands).
The first site developed for the Bank will be the Mudhoney Phase II Mitigation Site ("Site") which will
include work on Sandy Branch, Mudhoney Creek, and three unnamed tributaries to Sandy Branch in
Chatham County, NC. The purpose of the Bank is to provide stream and wetland mitigation credits to
compensate for impacts to Waters of the United States and/or State Waters within the service area,
Hydrologic Unit 03030003 (Cape Fear 03), as depicted in Figure 1. The resulting conservation easement
is estimated to be 30 acres.
Mitigation Bank Introduction and Objectives
1.1 Introduction
The Mudhoney Phase II Mitigation Site being established under the proposed Bank is located on an
active cattle farm. In addition to Sandy Branch and Mudhoney Creek, the Site contains three unnamed
tributaries to Sandy Branch that, for the purpose of this project, are referred to as UT1, UT2, and UT3.
The Site is located in the DWR Subbasin 03-06-12. All project streams flow to Sandy Branch, which is
classified as a Class C water from its source to Bear Creek.
A review of historic aerials from 1950 to 2021 shows the Site streams have existed in their approximate
locations over time. Sandy Branch Reach 1 was cleared of trees between 1983 and 1993 and Reach 5
was cleared between 1973 and 1983. Current land use at the Site is a mix of agriculture, including active
cattle and hay pasture. Across the project Site, approximately 30 head of cattle are currently managed.
The majority of the property has been in cattle or hay pasture since about the 1970s. Additionally,
chicken litter is applied on Site pastures.
Within the project area, the streams are mostly eroded, alternatingly incised, and severely impacted by
livestock access. Wetlands have been degraded due to channel incision and livestock access. Some
stream length is less incised and eroded but still accessed by livestock. The wetlands on the site have
been cleared and trampled by livestock.
The Sponsor proposes to restore 6,409 linear feet (LF) and enhance 797 LF of the site streams. The
Sponsor proposes to re-establish 0.816 wetland acres and rehabilitate 1.347 wetland acres. This stream
and wetland mitigation will include a conservation easement area that is estimated to total 30 acres.
1.2 Bank Location
The proposed Bank (35.622480' N, 79.380545' W) is in western Chatham County approximately six
miles southeast of Siler City (Figure 1, Figure 2). The site is located within the Hydrologic Unit Code
(HUC) 03030003070050 and DWR Subbasin 03-06-12. The project site drains to Bear Creek which drains
to the Rocky River and eventually to the Deep River.
To get to the Site from Raleigh, NC take 1-40 West to US-1 South. Follow US-1 to US-421 North in
Sanford. Follow US-421 North for 14 miles to State Road 902. Go left on State Road 902, follow is 0.9
miles and take a right on Barker Road. The downstream end of the site is approximately 250 feet after
the turn on the left.
1.3 Goals and Objectives
The proposed Bank described above will provide numerous ecological benefits within the Cape Fear
River Basin. Project benefits include site specific improvements and watershed scale benefits.

2.3 Proposed Service Area
The Bank will be established to mitigate impacts to Waters of the United States and/or State Waters
within the service area depicted in Figure 1. This service area includes the Cape Fear 03 (Hydrologic Unit
03030003) and the cities of Pittsboro, Siler City, Asheboro, and parts of Greensboro.

Draft Prospectus
Page 3

The Cape Fear 03 basin, as described in the DWR 2005 Cape Fear River Basin Water Quality Plan (WQP),
contains significant development in and around the municipalities mentioned above and has abundant
beef cattle operations. Several federal and state highways run through the basin including US-64, NC-87,
1-85, and 1-40. Developing a mitigation bank will allow unavoidable impacts to Waters of the United
States within the service area to be mitigated appropriately and provide a means for the economic
growth of this region to continue while ensuring aquatic resources and water quality are maintained.
This includes the potential widening for the roads within the watershed.
The Sponsor expects Bank customers will include private enterprises and public entities with North
Carolina Division of Transportation (NCDOT) as the primary client. Figure 3 depicts the potential projects
set forth by NCDOT for fiscal years 2020-2029 within the Cape Fear 03 watershed. This includes
transportation projects along several state, regional, and transition highways. Two megasites, the
Chatham-Siler City Advanced Manufacturing Site and the Greensboro -Randolph Mega Site are being
developed and will need stream and wetland mitigation credits.
Local Subbasin
The proposed Bank is located in DWR subbasin 03-06-12 and HUC 003030003070050. The Site includes a
named stream called Sandy Branch which flows into Bear Creek, the Rocky River, and eventually the
Deep River. All the other project streams flow into Sandy Branch. This Site is immediately downstream
of an existing DMS full delivery project constructed by Wildlands in 2019 called Sandy Branch Mitigation
Site and adjacent to a new DMS full delivery project called Mudhoney (Phase 1) Mitigation Site. In
addition, Wildlands is submitting a separate draft Prospectus for Sandy Branch Phase 11 which includes
additional streams that flow into and directly connect with the original Sandy Branch Site streams. The
three projects — Sandy Branch, Sandy Branch Phase 11, and Mudhoney Phases 1 and 2 — combine to
restore and enhance over 26,000 LF of streams and a large portion of the Sandy Branch watershed. All
four sites are within the Upper Rocky River Local Watershed Planning area and targeted resource areas
for habitat and hydrology.
The Site is located within the DMS Targeted Resource Area (TRA) 8870768. The TRA is identified as a
resource area for habitat and hydrology. The site is also located in the planning area for the Upper and
Middle Rocky River Local Watershed Plan (LWP). The Site is also located upstream of the Bear Creek
(Chatham) Aquatic Habitat, a Significant Natural Heritage Area that is located at the confluence of Bear
Creek and Sandy Branch (Figure 1). The Bear Creek Aquatic Habitat flows directly into the Upper Rocky
River Aquatic Habitat, which flows to the Lower Rocky River/Lower Deep River Aquatic Habitat.
Implementation of this project will address the Cape Fear 03 CU-wide coals, the LWP goals, and the TRA
goals by including the restoration of riparian buffers, stream restoration, wetland restoration, and
livestock exclusion to improve stream and terrestrial habitats. Hydrologic function will be improved
through the reconnection of streams to their historic floodplains and re-establishment and
rehabilitation of project wetlands. These restoration activities will enhance the Site's ability to retain
and remove nutrients and cattle waste from adjacent upstream sources before they can be transported
downstream into the Bear Creek Aquatic Habitat and the Critical Habitat area of the Cape Fear shiner
(Notropis mekistocholos) on the Rocky River and the Deep River.
The watersheds for Sandy Branch, UT1, UT2, and UT3 are dominated by pasture (43%, 70%, 70%, and
64% respectively) and forest (44%, 30%, 30%, and 27% respectively) with developed areas making up
less than 10% in all cases.
2.4.2 Feasibility
A Radius Map Report was ordered for the Bank through Environmental Data Resources, Inc. (EDR) and
obtained on April 11, 2022. No target properties, nor adjacent landowner properties, were listed in any
Widllands Cape Fear 03 Umbrella Mitigation Bank
Mudhoney Phase II Mitigation Site
Draft Prospectus
Page 4

of the Federal, State, or Tribal environmental databases searched by EDR. A summary of the EDR report
is included in the appendix.
The Bank is located in a rural watershed where the dominant land uses are agriculture, forest, and
residential. The site is located near Siler City which could develop in the future as Chatham County
grows. Future changes in land use might alter the watershed but it is likely that low density residential
use would cause minimal change to site hydrology.
Based on the preliminary existing conditions assessments performed at the Bank in 2022, Wildlands is
confident that the site has substantial potential for the development of a viable mitigation bank. The
project will provide substantial uplift to the Rocky River watershed and the Cape Fear River Basin.
Ecological Suitability of Site
3.1 Bank Site Characterization
The Bank Site is currently maintained for livestock pasture with sparsely wooded buffers along the
project streams. The Site is a livestock operation with approximately 100 head of free-range beef cattle
on site throughout the year and 10 pigs. Cattle have access to pastures and streams. Pastures are
fertilized most years during spring or fall and livestock waste is left to break down in place on pastures.
Most of the streams and wetlands on site have been heavily impacted by livestock access. The existing
conditions of Bank streams are described in Section 3.1.1, existing wetlands are described in Section
3.1.2, and existing vegetation is described in Section 3.1.3. The appendix contains stream determination
forms and stream geomorphic data. Figure 4 is a topographic map of the site, Figure 5 illustrates the
existing Site conditions, and Figure 6 is a map of the project stream watersheds.
3.1.1 Existing Conditions - Streams
Sandv Branch
Sandy Branch flows through the west side of the Site. Reach 1
flows into an open cattle pasture with sparse trees and privet „ 1
in the buffer zone. The floodplain is wide and flat in this area
The channel is incised and eroded, and cattle have historically
had access to the entire length of this reach, though they are
currently fenced out with temporary fencing. The bed
material is a mixture of sand, gravel and cobble and there is
little woody debris along the reach.
Reach 2 flows south through a mature hardwood forest with
an understory dominated by Chinese privet. Incision and erosion are consistent throughout the reach.
The reach has a fairly wide floodplain with moderate valley side slopes on either side. The bed material
is a mixture of sand, gravel and cobble. There is limited woody debris along the reach. The stream splits
into two channels at the lower end of the reach, both of which carry flow at baseflow.
Reach 3 is a short reach that is less incised and eroded. This reach has an established riparian buffer of
mature hardwood species with areas of dense vines. There is limited woody debris along this reach.
Reach 4 extends to the confluence with UT1. The reach varies from moderate to severe incision and is
badly eroded in many locations. Cattle have access to the reach and there are several highly eroded
access points. The reach has a forested buffer that consists of mixed hardwood species. The bed
material is a mix of sand, gravel, and cobble. There is some woody debris along this reach.
Widllands Cape Fear 03 Umbrella Mitigation Bank
Mudhoney Phase II Mitigation Site
Draft Prospectus Page 5

Reach 5 extends to NC Highway 902. UT2 and UT3 flow into this reach. This reach is incised and confined
in a narrow valley. The bed material is a mix of sand, gravel, and cobble. There is little woody debris
along this reach. The reach has little to no riparian buffer, with pasture grasses dominating the
floodplain and occasional woody plants such as Chinese privet, river birch, sweetgum, black willow (Salix
nigra), and red maple along channel banks.
UT1
UT1 is a short intermittent reach that originates in a cow pasture and flows eastward into Sandy Branch.
Cattle have access to the reach, it is slightly incised, and there is some erosion. The riparian buffer is
devoid of trees until a point at which it begins to flow through the Sandy Branch buffer. The bed
material is mostly sand and silt and there is limited woody debris. There is a culvert near the upstream
end of UT1.
UT2 [
The original channel of UT2 has been dramatically altered by
creation of a pond on the stream. Downstream of the pond .
there is a wetland feature that is primarily hydrated by seepage"
through the dam. It is possible that there was some fill placed in
the channel downstream of the pond during the original pond
construction. There is a small channel at the downstream end x
that connects the wetland area to Sandy Branch.
UT3
UT3 enters the site from a perched culvert underneath a
driveway, then flows through an open pasture and joins Sandy Branch near the downstream end of the
project. The entire stream is accessed by cattle and is incised and eroded. The riparian buffer is primarily
pasture grass, with sweetgum saplings, Chinese privet, and thickets of blackberry (Rubus occidentalis),
greenbriar, and rivercane scattered along banks. The bed material is primarily a mix of sand and gravel
with some cobble and bedrock outcrops and there is limited woody debris along the reach. There are
several cattle access points that are badly eroded along the stream. The stream is somewhat confined in
a narrow valley. There is a linear wetland feature in the pasture on the right side of UT3 that drains into
the stream near the downstream end.
3.1.2 Existing Wetlands
Existing jurisdictional wetlands along Sandy Branch Reach 1 are impaired by livestock access, lack of
vegetation diversity, the drainage influence of the incised stream channel, and infrequent overbank
events. These wetlands provide minimal functional value to wildlife habitat or water quality
improvements. Hydroperiods are believed to be relatively short due to the effect of the incised stream
channel. A licensed soil scientist confirmed presence of hydric soil in all existing wetlands (see LSS report
in appendix).
There are additional areas containing hydric soils along Sandy Branch Reach 1 which do not have a
contemporary wetland hydrology regime. This suggests historic presence of wetlands that have been
drained by stream incision and agricultural manipulation of the site.
3.1.3 Existing Vegetation
Riparian buffer conditions along project streams vary across the site. Sandy Branch enters the site in a
cattle pasture where it has a narrow corridor of tree and shrub species along its banks. Sandy Branch
continues through a forested buffer varying in width between 20 to over 200 feet for much of its project
Widllands Cape Fear 03 Umbrella Mitigation Bank
Mudhoney Phase II Mitigation Site
Draft Prospectus Page 6

extent. Reach 5 of Sandy Branch has little to no wooded buffer. UT1, UT2, and UT3 have little or no
wooded buffer.
In non -forested areas, pasture grasses dominate the floodplains with occasional occurrences of native
and invasive hardwood tree and shrub species and vines along channel banks. Juncus can also be found
scattered within and adjacent to channel banks in these areas. Forested buffer zones consist of mixed
hardwood forests which vary in composition across the site. Common species include tulip poplar
(Liriodendron tulipifera), sycamore (Platanus occidentlias), winged elm (Ulmus alata), red maple (Acer
rubrum), river birch (Betula nigra), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), American hornbeam (Carpinus
caroliniana), willow oak (Quercus phellos), and eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana). Invasive species
such as Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), Bradford pear (Pyrus calleryana), Japanese honeysuckle
(Lonicera japonica), and multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora) can be found in most forested areas in variable
densities.
3.1.4 Soils
The proposed project is mapped by the Web Soil Survey for Chatham County. The primary project area
soils are described below in Table F.3. Figure 7 provides a soil map of the Site. Chewacla and Wehadkee,
Riverview, and Nanford-Badin complex soils are mapped along streams with broader floodplains.
Georgeville and Cid-Lignum complex soils are generally mapped on hillslopes and narrower valleys.
Licensed Soil Scientists (LSS) performed on -site soil evaluations within areas proposed for wetland
mitigation and determined that existing wetland and relic hydric soils are most like the Chewacla series
and Wehadkee series. LSS reports are included in the appendix.

3.2 Cultural Resources and Significant Natural Heritage Areas
The site is not located near any sites listed on the National Register with the State Historic Preservation
Office (SHPO). The archaeological site files at the North Carolina Office of State Archaeology (OSA) have
not been reviewed at this time. All appropriate cultural resource agencies will be contacted for their
review and comment prior to any land disturbing activity.
3.3 Threatened and Endangered Species
Wildlands searched the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and North Carolina Natural Heritage
Program (NHP) databases to identify federally listed threatened and endangered plant and animal
species for Chatham County, NC. Currently the red -cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), Cape Fear
shiner, and the harperella (Ptilimnium nodosum) are listed as endangered and the Atlantic pigtoe
(Fusconaia masoni) is listed as threatened. Pedestrian surveys conducted on March 10, 2022, April 6,
2022, and April 20, 2022 indicated that the project area does not provide suitable habitat for the above
listed species. Wildlands will conduct a full review for protected species upon award of the contract and
will coordinate with USFWS and NCWRC as necessary based on that review.

3.4 Floodplain Compliance
The Site is represented on the Chatham County Flood Map 3710868800J. The Site is located within
FEMA Zone X and has minimal associated flood risk. Sandy Branch and the unnamed tributaries
(including Mudhoney Creek) are not FEMA mapped and do not have associated models. Wildlands will
communicate with the local floodplain administrator in Chatham County to determine if a floodplain
development permit is required.
The project will be designed to avoid adverse floodplain impacts or hydrologic trespass on adjacent
properties or local roads.
3.5 Site Constraints and Access
Three internal crossings are proposed at the Site to maintain landowner access to pastures. One pond
will be removed on UT2. Culverts will be designed with the restored stream bed profile to allow for
aquatic organism passage. Crossings are summarized and numbered below in Table 5 and on Figure 8.

The easement boundaries around streams proposed for mitigation credit provide the required 50-foot
minimum riparian buffer for Piedmont streams. The entire easement area can be accessed for
construction, monitoring, and long-term stewardship from Barker Road and Lee Emerson Road. There is
one small airport, Brooks Field, within five miles of the Site.
4.0 Mitigation Work Plan
4.1 Streams
The proposed bank will include 7,206 LF of stream restoration and enhancement level II, and 2.163 acres
of wetland re-establishment and rehabilitation. These approaches were chosen to provide the highest
degree of ecological uplift to system. Figure 8 provides an overview of the proposed mitigation activities
on the site.
Restoration is proposed for Sandy Branch R1, R4, and
R5, UT2, and UT3. For restoration reaches, dimension,
pattern, and profile will be designed to allow for
frequent overbank flooding, provide stable bank slopes,
and enable biological uplift. Except for UT2, the
restoration reaches are perennial streams. The level of
impact from livestock access and existing incision and
erosion warrant this level of intervention. Reference
streams will be identified and will serve as one of the
primary sources of information for restoration designs.
Modeling and other detailed analyses will be used as
appropriate to develop or verify designs. Generally, stream designs will be based on a design discharge
range that, in most cases, will approximate the bankfull discharge but will be selected to meet the
objectives of the design. The discharge will be determined through detailed hydrologic analyses using
the best available information such as local or regional stream gage records, empirical regional stream
flow measurements, hydrologic modeling results, and reference stream flows. Other discharges (such as
baseflow or flows to support instream habitat features) will also be considered during the design
process based on the specific project objectives.
Outside of a few transition zones at upstream or downstream ends of reaches, all reaches proposed for
restoration will be designed with a Priority 1 approach, raising channel beds to reconnect them with
existing floodplains. Wildlands has obtained a temporary construction agreement with the landowner to
the north of Sandy Branch Reach 1 to do stream work on that property so that the bed may be raised
upstream of the restoration reach and the reach will be constructed as Priority 1 restoration for its
entire length. This will allow the restored reach to be connected to adjacent wetland restoration areas.
Designs will incorporate riffles with a heterogeneous mixture of bed material, pools of varying depth,
and rock and log structures to provide grade control. Channel bends will be protected with
bioengineering methods such as brush toes, lunker logs, boulder toes, and vegetated soil lifts. Live
stakes will be used where streambanks are restored to provide long term bank protection.

Enhancement Level II is proposed on Sandy Branch Reach 3 and UT1. These reaches are geomorphically
stable in their current condition and have lower bank height ratios, low bank slopes, and a lesser degree
of erosion than reaches proposed for restoration. The riparian buffers of these reaches are either
wooded with large amounts of Chinese privet and other invasives or not wooded. Cattle have access to
each of these reaches. The primary enhancement activities include the exclusion of cattle, replanting as
needed, and treating invasive species within the established riparian buffers. Areas of bank erosion will
be repaired on an as -needed basis.
Sandy Branch Reach 2 is not proposed for credit. The landowner on the west side of the reach would not
participate in the project but an easement will be placed on the east side of the reach and floodplain
extending out 50 feet from the top of the left bank. Supplemental planting and invasive treatment will
be done in the area along this reach that will be under easement. The easement on the east side will
connect to both Sandy Branch Reaches 1 and 3, creating a continuous easement along Sandy Branch on
the Site.
Livestock will be excluded from all streams and native riparian buffers will be planted to a minimum of
50-feet from the proposed top of bank where no canopy currently exists. All streams on site will have
buffers extending to the required 50 feet.
4.2 Wetlands
Proposed wetland mitigation includes rehabilitation of existing wetlands and re-establishment of
historic wetlands. Wetland rehabilitation practices will include hydrologic improvement, livestock
exclusion, and establishment of a native hydrophytic vegetation community. Wetland hydrology will be
restored in re-establishment areas through Priority 1 construction of an appropriately sized stream
channel and surface roughening to increase infiltration. Wetland re-establishment is proposed in areas
predominantly containing hydric soils. It is highly likely these soils will support wetland hydrology
following Priority 1 stream restoration. Wetland credit zones are presented in Figure 8.
4.3 Vegetation Plan
Native riparian buffers will be planted along restored
and enhanced stream reaches, in all proposed wetland
restoration zones, and in all riparian restoration areas.
The ecological uplift can be summarized as transforming
an agriculturally impacted area to a protected riparian
corridor. Buffer restoration will involve planting
appropriate native tree species along the riparian
corridor. Herbaceous riparian vegetation will also be
planted, but additional herbaceous plants are expected
to re-establish naturally and through the placement of a
native seed mix in disturbed areas. Live stake shrub
species will be planted along restored streams.
Vegetation management and herbicide applications will
be needed over the first few years of tree establishment in the riparian buffer restoration areas to
prevent encroachment of invasive species. Portions of the site that have been maintained as cleared
agricultural fields will require little site preparation other than select herbicide treatments or limited
mechanical clearing to remove undesirable underbrush prior to planting.
The planting plan will be based on an appropriate nearby reference community and past project
experience. The plan will be developed to restore appropriate strata (canopy, understory, shrub, and
Widllands Cape Fear 03 Umbrella Mitigation Bank
Mudhoney Phase II Mitigation Site
Draft Prospectus
Page 10

herbaceous layers). Vegetation planted in restored wetland areas will be based on species identified
within appropriate reference locations and professional experience based on site conditions.
Areas with an existing wooded riparian corridor will be treated for invasive species. The Site will be
protected in perpetuity under a conservation easement and will be marked per IRT guidelines.
Determination of Mitigation Credits
The mitigation stream and wetland credit calculations were derived using the US Army Corps of
Engineers' Stream Mitigation Guidance and was based on Wildlands' conceptual design for maximum
ecological uplift. Given the existing conditions of the stream channels, wetlands, the disturbance factors,
and the constraints, management objectives for each reach have been established.
The proposal is a combination of stream restoration and enhancement level II, and wetland re-
establishment and rehabilitation. Stream restoration is proposed at a ratio of 1:1, and stream
enhancement level II is proposed at 2.5:1. The management objective, mitigation type, and proposed
amount of mitigation is presented in the below Table 6. The not -for -credit reach, Sandy Branch Reach 2,
is not included in the tables.

5.1.1 Credit Release Schedule
All credit releases will be based on the total credit generated as reported by the as -built surveys of the
Bank. Under no circumstances shall the Bank be debited until the necessary Department of Army (DA)
authorization has been received for its construction or the District Engineer (DE) has otherwise provided
written approval for the project in the case where no DA authorization is required for construction of
the mitigation project. The DE, in consultation with the IRT, will determine if performance standards
have been satisfied sufficiently to meet the requirements of the release schedules below. In cases where
some performance standards have not been met, credits may still be released depending on the
specifics of the case. Monitoring may be required to restart or be extended, depending on the extent to
which the site fails to meet the specified performance standard. The release of project credits will follow
the Monitoring Requirements and Performance Standards for Compensatory Mitigation in North
Carolina, dated February 9, 2013. The proposed credit release schedule is shown in Tables 8 and 9.

5.2 Initial Allocation of Released Credits
The initial allocation of released credits is defined as Bank Establishment in the 2013 Wilmington District
credit release schedule guidance document. The initial allocation can be released without prior written
approval of the DE upon satisfactory completion of the following activities:
a. Execution of the UMBI by the Sponsor and the USACE.
b. Approval of the final mitigation plan.
c. Recordation of the conservation easement and delivery of a title opinion acceptable to the
USACE.
d. Delivery of the financial assurances described in the mitigation plan.
e. 404 permit verification for construction of the site, if required.
5.3 Subsequent Credit Releases
All subsequent credit releases must be approved by the DE, in consultation with the IRT, based on a
determination that required performance standards have been achieved. For stream projects, a reserve
of 10% of a site's total stream credits shall be released after four bankfull events have occurred in
separate years, provided the channel is stable and all other performance standards are met. In the event
that less than four bankfull events occur during the monitoring period, release of these reserve credits
shall be at the discretion of the IRT. As the bank approaches milestones associated with the credit
release, Wildlands will submit a request for credit release to the DE along with documentation
substantiating achievement of criteria required for release to occur. This documentation will be included
with the annual monitoring report.
Performance Standards and Monitoring Plan
The performance criteria for the Site will follow approved performance criteria presented in the October
2016 IRT Mitigation Monitoring Guidance. Annual monitoring and semi-annual site visits will be
conducted to assess the condition of the completed project. Specific performance standard components
are proposed for stream morphology, hydrology, and vegetation. The stream restoration reaches of the
project will be assigned specific performance criteria components for hydrology, vegetation, and
geomorphology. The enhancement II reaches will be assigned specific performance criteria components
for vegetation only. Performance criteria will be evaluated throughout the (up to) seven years of post -
construction monitoring. If all stream, vegetation, and hydrologic performance criteria have been
successfully met and at least four bankfull events have occurred during separate years, Wildlands may
propose to terminate stream and/or vegetation monitoring after five years with written approval from
Widllands Cape Fear 03 Umbrella Mitigation Bank
Mudhoney Phase II Mitigation Site
Draft Prospectus Page 13

the USACE and North Carolina Interagency Review Team (IRT). An outline of the performance criteria
components follows.
6.1 Stream Morphological Parameters and Channel Stability
Dimension
Riffle cross sections on the restoration reaches should be stable and should show little change in
bankfull area, bank height ratio, and width -to -depth ratio. Riffle cross sections should fall within the
parameters defined for channels of the appropriate stream type. If any changes do occur, these changes
will be evaluated to assess whether the stream channel is showing signs of instability. Changes in the
channel that indicate a movement toward stability or enhanced habitat include a decrease in the width -
to -depth ratio in meandering channels or an increase in pool depth. These sorts of bed changes do not
constitute a problem or indicate a need for remedial actions. If channel changes indicate a movement
toward stability, remedial action will not be taken.
In order to assess channel dimension performance,
permanent cross sections will be installed on restoration and
reaches per the IRT Mitigation Monitoring Guidelines
(October 2016). Each cross section will be permanently
marked with pins to establish its location. Cross section
surveys will include points measured at all breaks in slope,
including top of bank, bankfull, edge of water, and thalweg.
Cross section and bank pin surveys (if applicable) will be
conducted in monitoring years one, two, three, five, and
seven.
Profile and Pattern
Longitudinal profile surveys will be conducted during the as -built survey but will not be conducted
during the seven-year monitoring period unless other indicators during the annual monitoring indicate a
trend toward vertical and lateral instability. If a longitudinal profile is deemed necessary, monitoring will
follow standards as described in the Stream Channel Reference Sites: An Illustrated Guide to Field
Technique (Harrelson et. al., 1994) for the necessary reaches.
Substrate
Channel substrate materials will be sampled with the pebble count method along restoration, and
enhancement I reaches. These reaches should show maintenance of coarser materials in the riffle
features and smaller particles in the pool features. A reach -wide pebble count will be performed in each
restoration reach each monitoring year for classification purposes. A pebble count will be performed at
each surveyed riffle cross-section, only during the as -built survey to characterize the pavement.
6.2 Hydrology
Stream
Four bankfull flow events, occurring in separate years, must be documented on the restoration reaches
within the seven-year monitoring period. Stream monitoring will continue until success criteria in the
form of four bankfull events in separate years have been documented. Bankfull events will be
documented using photographs and either a crest gage or a pressure transducer, as appropriate for Site
conditions. The selected measurement device will be installed in the stream within a surveyed riffle
cross section. Photographs will also be used to document the occurrence of debris lines and sediment
deposition.
Where restoration activities are proposed for intermittent streams, monitoring gages will be installed to
track the frequency and duration of stream flow events. Continuous surface water flow within the
Widllands Cape Fear 03 Umbrella Mitigation Bank
Mudhoney Phase II Mitigation Site
Draft Prospectus
Page 14

tributaries must be documented to occur every year for at least 30 consecutive days during the seven-
year monitoring period. This 30-day period of flow can occur at any point during the year. Additional
monitoring may be required if surface water flow cannot be documented due to abnormally dry
conditions.
WPtlanrl
Groundwater monitoring will be conducted for seven years after construction to evaluate the hydrologic
state of the restored wetland areas. Wetland groundwater gages will be installed in accordance with the
techniques and standards described in the USACE document entitled "Technical Standard for Water -
Table Monitoring of Potential Wetland Sites" (ERDC TN-WRAP-05-2, June 2005). Groundwater
monitoring gages will be established throughout the wetland area to adequately characterize the
different soils, vegetation communities, and surface topographic variations that are found across the
site. According to Table 1 in the USACE Mitigation Guidance update, Wehadkee soils have a wetland
saturation range of 12-16% of the growing season. Based on this, the final criteria for the wetland
hydrology will be groundwater levels within 12 inches of the soil surface for a minimum period of 12% of
the growing season.
6.3 Vegetation
The final vegetative success criteria will be the survival of 210 planted stems per acre in the riparian
corridors at the end of the required monitoring period (year seven). The interim measure of vegetative
success for the Site will be the survival of at least 320 native species stems per acre at the end of the
third monitoring year and at least 260 stems per acre at the end of the fifth year of monitoring. Also,
trees must average seven feet in height at the end of the fifth monitoring year, and ten feet in height at
the end of the seventh monitoring year. If this performance standard is met by year five and stem
density is trending towards success (i.e., vigor), and invasive species are not threatening ecological
success, monitoring of vegetation on the Site may be terminated with written approval by the USACE in
consultation with the IRT. The extent of invasive species coverage will also be monitored and controlled
as necessary throughout the required monitoring period.
Vegetation monitoring quadrants will be installed across the Site to measure the survival of the planted
trees. The number of monitoring quadrants required, and frequency of monitoring will be based on the
October 2016 IRT Mitigation Monitoring Guidance. Vegetation monitoring will occur in the summer and
will follow the CVS-EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation (2008).
6.4 Other Parameters
Photo Reference Stations
Photographs should illustrate the Site's vegetation and morphological stability on an annual basis. Cross
section photos should demonstrate no excessive erosion or degradation of the banks. Longitudinal
photos should indicate the absence of persistent mid -channel bars within the channel or vertical
incision. Grade control structures should remain stable. Deposition of sediment on the bank side of vane
arms is preferable. Maintenance of scour pools on the channel side of vane arms is expected.
Photographs will be taken once a year to visually document stability for seven years following
construction. Permanent markers will be established and located with GPS equipment, so that the same
locations and view directions on the Site are photographed each year. Photos will be used to monitor
restoration and enhancement areas, as well as vegetation plots.
Longitudinal reference photos will be established at regular intervals along the channel by taking a
photo looking upstream and downstream. Cross sectional photos will be taken of each permanent cross
section looking upstream and downstream. Reference photos will also be taken for each of the
Widllands Cape Fear 03 Umbrella Mitigation Bank
Mudhoney Phase II Mitigation Site
Draft Prospectus
Page 15

vegetation plots. Representative digital photos of each permanent photo point, cross section, and
vegetation plot will be taken when the stream and vegetation assessments are conducted. The
photographer will make every effort to consistently maintain the same area in each photo over time.
Visual Assessments
Visual assessments should support the specific performance standards for each metric as described
above. Visual assessments will be performed along stream reaches on a semi-annual basis during the
seven-year monitoring period. Problem areas such as channel instability (e.g. lateral and/or vertical
instability, instream structure failure/instability and/or piping, headcuts), vegetation health (e.g. low
stem density, vegetation mortality, invasive species, or encroachment), beaver activity, or livestock
access will be noted. Areas of concern will be mapped and photographed and will be accompanied by a
written description in the annual report. Problem areas will be re-evaluated during each subsequent
visual assessment. Should remedial actions be required, a plan of action will be provided in the annual
monitoring report.
Benthic Macroinvertebrates
If required by DWR as part of the project's permitting process, benthic macroinvertebrate sampling will
be performed on the restored site. Any required sampling will be performed using DWR Standard
Operating Procedures for Benthic Macro invertebrates (October 2012).
Maintenance and Long -Term Sustainability
7.1 Maintenance
The Bank shall be monitored on a regular basis and a physical inspection of the project shall be
conducted at a minimum of once per year throughout the post -construction monitoring period until
performance standards are met. These site inspections may identify site components and features that
require routine maintenance. Routine maintenance will be conducted to rectify identified deficiencies
and may include the activities listed in Table 10.
Table 10. Maintenance Plan
Component/Feature
Maintenance Through Project Close -Out
Routine channel maintenance and repair activities may include chinking of in -stream
structures to prevent piping, securing loose coir matting, and supplemental
Stream
installations of live stakes and other target vegetation along the channel. Areas
where stormwater and floodplain flows intercept the channel may also require
maintenance to prevent bank failures and head -cutting. Beaver dams that inundate
the streams channels shall be removed and the beaver shall be trapped.
Vegetation shall be maintained to ensure the health and vigor of the targeted
community. Routine vegetation maintenance and repair activities may include
supplemental planting, pruning, mulching, and fertilizing. Exotic invasive plant
Vegetation
species affecting the viability of the mitigation shall be controlled by mechanical
and/or chemical methods. Any vegetation control requiring herbicide application will
be performed in accordance with the NC Department of Agriculture (NCDA) rules
and regulations.
Site boundaries shall be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between the
bank site and adjacent properties. Boundaries may be identified by fence, marker,
Site Boundary
bollard, post, tree -blazing, or other means as allowed by site conditions and/or
conservation easement. Boundary markers disturbed, damaged, or destroyed will be
repaired and/or replaced on an as -needed basis.

7.2 Adaptive Management
Upon completion of site construction, the Sponsor will implement the post -construction monitoring
protocols and minor remedial actions (routine maintenance) will be performed as needed for the
duration of the monitoring period. The Sponsor will notify the USACE immediately if monitoring results
or visual observations suggest a trend towards instability, major remedial actions are needed, or that
performance standards cannot be achieved. Should major remedial measures be required, the Sponsor
will submit a Corrective Action Plan and coordinate with the USACE until authorization is secured to
conduct the adaptive management activities. The Sponsor is responsible for funding and/or providing
the services necessary to secure any necessary permits to support the proposed major remedial
adaptive management actions, to implement the corrective action plan, and to deliver record drawings
that depict the extent and nature of the work performed. If the USACE determines that the Bank is not
meeting performance standards or the Sponsor is not complying with the terms of the instrument, the
USACE may take appropriate actions, including but not limited to: suspending credit sales, utilizing
financial assurances, and/or terminating the instrument.
7.3 Long Term Management Provisions
The Sponsor will institute a Long Term Management Plan responsible for assessing the condition of the
Bank and implementing maintenance provisions to maintain performance of the Bank. The proposed
conservation easement will help to ensure that only IRT-allowable activities take place. This easement
will be transferred to an IRT-approved non-profit organization once monitoring success criteria have
been achieved.
The provider for long term management of the sites is anticipated to be Unique Places to Save
(UP2Save). UP2Save is a 501c3 nonprofit committed to land conservation through conservation planning
and management. The funding mechanism for long term management will be a stewardship
endowment funded by Wildlands. Contact information for UP2Save is listed below.

Phone: [phone]
Email: [e-mail]
To monitor the project's continued success, a Long Term Management Plan will be implemented
following the seven-year monitoring period. All components of the bank will be inspected annually or
less frequently as needed to ensure that the Bank remains stable in perpetuity. Sources of instability or
other deficiencies will be addressed. Invasive species will be managed annually or less frequently as
needed to ensure the long term survivability of the planned native vegetation community. All reporting
will be documented and kept on file for future reference.

SURROUNDING SITES: SEARCH RESULTS
Surrounding sites were identified in the following databases
Elevations have been determined from the USGS Digital Elevation Model and should be evaluated on
a relative (not an absolute) basis. Relative elevation information between sites of close proximity
should be field verified. Sites with an elevation equal to or higher than the target property have been
differentiated below from sites with an elevation lower than the target property.
Page numbers and map identification numbers refer to the EDR Radius Map report where detailed
data on individual sites can be reviewed.
Sites listed in bold italics are in multiple databases.
Unmappable (orphan) sites are not considered in the foregoing analysis.
