RE: Response to Cape Fear 02 UMBI, Tobacco Road Mitigation Site, Final Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset Plan; Cape Fear 03030002; Alamance County, NC; DWR Comment Memo; DWR Project ID #: 2021-0536

NCDWR Comments, Blake Hartshorn:
1. Table 7. Project Credit Table — Where credits are being measured from 150-200ft, add that width boundary to the feature name so as to suggest credits are being sought between 51-150ft. It is assumed that this only applies to TR1. This note has been added to the feature name for Nutrient Offset 101’-200’, indicating that TR1 has a portion of Nutrient Offset that extends from 150’-200’, specifically. 2. Figure 6, Conceptual Design Plan for Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Bank – Please provide an existing conditions tree survey to support areas proposed as preservation and cattle exclusion. The surveyed existing tree line has been added to Figure 6. To expedite final review, the riparian buffer mitigation and nutrient offset areas have been updated to follow the surveyed
tree lines exactly. There is one portion of restoration along the left bank of TR1-D that ignores
the surveyed tree line based on a comment made by Katie Merritt during Draft Mitigation Plan
review that refers to the buffer viability letter stating this area along the left bank is entirely
buffer restoration. All credit amounts have been updated in the Project Credit Table (Table 7)
and throughout the document to reflect these new crediting delineations.

3. Figure 6, Conceptual Design Plan for Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Bank — In order for
this to be enhancement (referring to left bank buffer along MN5), there needs to be fencing
proposed around the riparian area, otherwise it needs to be called out as preservation and
tables need to be updated accordingly.
This area of enhancement has been changed to Non-Subject Preservation. The Project Credit
Table (Table 7) and the Mitigation Plan has been updated to reflect this change.

1 MITIGATION PROJECT SUMMARY
Environmental Banc and Exchange, LLC (EBX), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Resource Environmental
Solutions (RES), is pleased to provide this Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset Plan (Plan) for the Tobacco
Road Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Mitigation Bank (Project). This Project is designed to provide
riparian buffer and nutrient offset credits for unavoidable impacts due to development within the Cape
Fear River Basin, United States Geological Survey (USGS) 8-digit Cataloguing Unit 03030002 (Cape Fear
02), within the Haw River Subwatershed of Jordan Lake (Figure 1). This Plan is in accordance with the
Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295, 15A NCAC 02B .0703, and the proposed RES
Tobacco Road Mitigation Banking Instrument for Riparian Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset Credits
(MBI), Appendix AA, to be made and entered into by EBX acting as the Bank Sponsor (Sponsor), and the
North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality-Division of Water Resources (DWR).
The Plan has also been designed in concurrence with the Tobacco Road Stream and Wetland Mitigation
Bank (SAW-2021-00489, DWR Project ID# 2021-0536 v1). The Tobacco Road Stream and Wetland
Mitigation Bank is proposed to provide 8,311.010 Stream Mitigation Units (SMUs) and 2.096 Wetland
Mitigation Units (WMUs) within the conservation easement through a separate mitigation banking
instrument with the IRT.
1.1 Project Overview
When combining the Tobacco Road Stream Mitigation Bank with the Tobacco Road Riparian Buffer
Mitigation and Nutrient Offset Bank, the conservation easement will total approximately 42.29 acres,
broken into nine sections. The Project includes one main unnamed headwater tributary and ten smaller
adjoining tributaries that drain directly into Motes Creek, a USGS-named stream, just west of Mineral
Springs Road (Figure 2). The majority of the eastern portion of the Project has been used for mixed
agriculture activities, primarily livestock and row crop production, since at least the mid-1970s (Figure 3).
The land adjacent to this upstream portion of the Project is surrounded by residential homes, mixed-use
agriculture, forest, and a small, private airport (Figure 4). The middle and western portions of the Project
have remained mostly forested since at least 1950, with minor intermittent clearing for row crop beginning
between 1950 and 1964 and continuing to present day (Figures 5a and 5b). The land surrounding the
downstream portions of the Project is in active row crop production and partially forested. Cattle, where
present on the eastern and middle parcels, have direct access to the stream, which has led to degraded
water quality and unstable channel conditions throughout the affected reaches. Water quality stressors
currently affecting the Project include heavily manipulated/relocated and maintained stream channels,
active row crop and livestock production, lack of forested riparian buffers, presence of invasive plant
species, and growing urban development throughout the watershed. Current buffer conditions
demonstrate significant degradation with the loss of stabilizing vegetation specifically due to continued
crop production and active cattle pasture.
The goal of the Tobacco Road Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Project is to restore, enhance, and
preserve ecological function to the existing stream and wetland complexes and their associated riparian
buffer areas, in order to compensate, in appropriate circumstances, for unavoidable riparian buffer impacts
and nutrient load reduction requirements. This goal will be accomplished by establishing appropriate plant
Tobacco Road
Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Plan 5 June 2023

communities while minimizing temporal and land disturbing impacts. Buffer and surrounding riparian area
improvements will filter runoff from agricultural fields and prohibit livestock access, thereby reducing
nutrient and sediment loads to Project channels and provide water quality benefit to the overall watershed.
The Tobacco Road Project is composed of a combination of 11 intermittent and perennial tributaries of
Motes Creek. TR1 is the main hydrologic feature in the Project. It begins as an intermittent reach (TR1-A),
and then transitions to a perennial feature (TR1-B through TR1-F). The tributary is broken into reaches
based on stream treatments. Flowing towards TR1 are 10 intermittent tributaries, referred to as MN1, MN2,
MN3, MN4, MN5, MN6, MN7, MN8, MN9, and TR2. Some of these tributaries are split into sub-reaches
(MN1-A, MN1-B, MN2-A, MN2-B, MN4-A, MN4-B, MN5-A, MN5-B, MN6-A, and MN6-B) based on stream
mitigation approach; however, for the purposes of this plan, they are lumped as one single channel where
appropriate. There are also 23 jurisdictional wetlands within the boundaries of the proposed Project or just
outside the Project area (Figure 3).
Stream determinations were verified by the DWR site visit on May 4, 2021, with a follow up site visit to
include an additional stream (MN8) on February 23, 2022; a final determination letter was received on
March 17, 2022. Buffer viability determinations were verified by the DWR site visit on August 11, 2021;
a buffer mitigation and nutrient offset viability letter was received on September 24, 2021, with a verbal
agreement following the February 2022 stream verification site visit, on the viability of MN8. Subjectivity
of streams was based on review of the quadrangle topographic map prepared by the USGS and the
most recent printed version of the soil survey map for Alamance County prepared by the Natural
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). The riparian buffers of TR1, TR2, MN1, and MN4 were determined
to be subject to the Jordan Lake buffer protection rules. The riparian buffers of MN2, MN3, MN5, MN6,
MN7, MN8, and MN9 are not subject to the Jordan Lake Buffer Rules (“Non-Subject”). Correspondence
regarding these determinations and addendums can be found in Appendix AB.
Buffer and riparian area mitigation efforts along the Project streams will be accomplished through stream
restoration, along with the planting, establishment, and protection of a native hardwood forest community,
and will include livestock exclusion and invasive species treatment where necessary. The result will be a
riparian area that functions to mitigate nutrient and sediment inputs from the surrounding uplands. The
buffer mitigation plan proposed is being submitted for review under the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation
Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 and Nutrient Offset Credit Trading Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0703. In addition to
traditional riparian restoration, the Project will also incorporate the alternative buffer mitigation options:
Restoration on Non-Subject streams, as outlined in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(3); Enhancement of forested
pasture, as outlined in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(6); Preservation of Buffers on Subject Streams, as outlined
in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(5); and Preservation of Buffers on Non-subject Streams, as outlined in 15A
NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(4). The Project presents the opportunity to provide up to 452,174.994 riparian buffer
mitigation credits. Of those credits, the Project will restore 8.35 acres (363,900.00 ft2), enhance 2.64 acres
(114,891.00 ft2), and preserve 11.61 acres (505,863.00 ft2) of riparian areas, in addition to providing 0.09
acres (3,868.00 ft2) of nutrient offset credit, with a minimum width of 50 feet and a maximum width of 200
feet adjacent to mitigated streams onsite. According to 15A NCAC 02B.0295(o)(4) and (5), “the area of
preservation credit within a buffer mitigation site shall comprise of no more than 25% of the total area of
buffer mitigation.” As the total area of buffer restoration and enhancement accounts for 10.99 acres
Tobacco Road
Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Plan 6 June 2023

(478,792.00 ft2), the total credits that could be generated from the preservation area will not exceed 3.66
acres (159,597.00 ft2). As outlined in this buffer mitigation plan, any areas of riparian restoration proposed
for nutrient offset credit would rely on nutrient offset credit calculations in accordance with the “NCDWR
– Methodology and Calculation for determining Nutrient Reductions associated with Riparian Buffer
Establishment.”
Under this Plan, the Project will generate Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset credit within two dedicated
zones from the top of the bank: the top of bank to 50-foot-wide zone of buffer perpendicular landward;
and the 151-200-foot-wide zone of buffer perpendicular from the top of the bank (Figure 6). The zone 51-
150 feet from the top of bank will be claimed for additional stream credit in the Tobacco Road Stream and
Wetland Mitigation bank and is not double counted under this program (Figure 7).
Section 3 provides details of the mitigation determination for the Tobacco Road Project.
1.1.1 Parcel Ownership
The land required for the construction, management, and stewardship of this Project includes two parcels,
split into three sections, in Alamance County with the following ownership listed in Table 1 (Figure 5 of
Stream and Wetland Plan). EBX will obtain conservation easements from the current landowners in both
properties. The Wilmington District Conservation Easement model template was utilized to draft the site
protection instrument. Once recorded, the secured easements will allow EBX to proceed with the Project
development and protect the mitigation assets in perpetuity. Once finalized, a copy of the site protection
instrument(s) will be included in Appendix B of the Stream and Wetland Mitigation Plan.

1.3 Existing Conditions
1.3.1 Surface Water Classification
The Project area includes a network of unnamed tributaries that drain to Motes Creek, which further drains
to the Haw River, west of the Project. Motes Creek has been classified as Water Supply-V (WS-V) and
Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW). Waters classified as WS-V refers to waters usually upstream of Class C
waters and are used by industry to supply their employees with drinking water. These are also waters that
may have formerly been used as water supply and are also protected for Class C uses. NSW is a
supplemental classification intended for waters needing additional nutrient management due to being
subject to excessive growth of microscopic or macroscopic vegetation (NCDWQ 2019). Natural drainage
patterns throughout the watershed have been altered by agricultural production, artificial impoundments,
dredging of channels, and increased impervious surface.
1.3.2 Physiography and Soils
The Project is located within the Piedmont Physiographic region, specifically within the Carolina Slate Belt
Ecoregion. The physiography of the ecoregion is mainly dissected irregular plains, some hills, linear ridges,
and isolated monadnocks. Streams with low to moderate gradient are mostly composed of boulder and
cobble substrates. Weathered volcanic rock forms clay and shale throughout the region, and soils generally
have high silt contents; silty and silty clay soils are common. This region contains some of the lowest water-
yielding rock units in North Carolina; therefore, streams and wells often have lower water levels and can
dry up quicker than in other regions throughout the state. Elevations range from 457 to 771 feet above
mean sea level (NAD 27) based upon USGS topographic mapping and the total drainage area of the Project
is 458 acres (Figure 8).
The 2022 NRCS Web Soil Survey shows seven soil map units across the project. Project soil map units (of
various slopes and modified regimes) are mapped by the NRCS as Chewacla loam, Cullen clay loam,
Herndon silt loam, and Mandale-Secrest complex; specifics about each can be found below in Table 2
(Figures 9a and 9b).

1.3.3 Existing Landscape Condition
A. Existing Land Characteristics
Current land use in the vicinity of the Project is a combination of row crop, active cattle pasture (forested
and open), and disturbed riparian forest (Figure 4). These farming activities, both presently and historically,
in unison with growing development throughout the watershed, have contributed to the significant habitat
degradation evident throughout the Project streams and riparian areas. The Project reaches are generally
channelized, lack bedform diversity, and are oversized with eroding banks. Forested areas throughout the
Project are composed of mixed hardwoods, varying in age and size, shrub trees, and a combination of
wetland and non-wetland herbaceous vegetation. Some reaches are dominated by invasive species
introduced from surrounding suburban development. The open areas where livestock is present are mostly
dominated by pasture grasses with scattered shrub trees and few canopy trees, while the remaining open
areas are mostly in crop production or mowed for mixed-use agriculture.
The site viability for buffer mitigation and nutrient offset letter from DWR, dated September 24, 2021, in
Appendix AB provides details on land-uses within the riparian areas on the site.
Tobacco Road
Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Plan 9 June 2023

B. Existing Vegetation Communities
Based on present species composition and overall regional characteristics of the area, the natural
communities within the Project boundaries most closely represent a combination of Piedmont Alluvial and
Piedmont Headwater Stream Forests (Schafale, 2012). Existing canopy and shrub species throughout the
site include white oak (Quercus alba), black oak (Quercus velutina), hickory (Carya sp.), American beech
(Fagus grandifolia), flowering dogwood (Cornus florida), eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), sweet
gum (Liquidambar styraciflua), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), winged elm (Ulmus alata), American
holly (Ilex opaca), sugarberry (Celtis laevigata), box elder (Acer negundo), red maple (Acer rubrum),
sourwood (Oxydendrum arboreum), American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), green ash (Fraxinus
pennsylvanica), eastern redbud (Cercis canadensis), black walnut (Juglans nigra), American hophornbeam
(Ostrya virginiana), ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana), black willow (Salix nigra), and black gum (Nyssa
sylvatica).
The herb stratum throughout many of the wetland areas, open pasture, and forest understory includes
Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides), sensitive fern (Onoclea sensibilis), soft rush (Juncus effusus),
cocklebur (Xanthium strumarium), American tearthumb (Persicaria sagittata), and poison ivy
(Toxicodendron radicans). Invasive and noxious species are also present throughout, including Chinese
privet (Ligustrum sinense), multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora), Japanese stilt grass (Microstegium vimineum),
Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), Johnson grass (Sorghum halepense), tall fescue (Festuca
arundinacea), and autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellata). The streams within the Project boundaries are
described below.
C. Riparian Area Conditions
In general, the Project reaches do not function to their full potential. Current conditions demonstrate
significant habitat and water quality degradation with a loss of stabilizing vegetation because of impacts
from ongoing crop and livestock production. Throughout the Project there are also invasive plant species
present.
Reach TR1, a headwater tributary, enters the project from the northeast corner and flows west through the
project area, exiting at the southwestern corner before coming to a confluence with Motes Creek
downstream, approximately 250 feet west of Mineral Springs Road. Motes Creek drains directly to the Haw
River, west of the Project, eventually flowing to B. Everett Jordan Lake. TR1 is split into six reaches based
on existing conditions and proposed mitigation treatment: TR1-A, TR1-B, TR1-C, TR1-D, TR1-E, and TR1-
F, beginning as an intermittent stream and transitioning to perennial after flowing under NC Highway 54.
Reach TR1-A is the most upstream section of TR1 that ends at the proposed easement break and
intersection of NC Highway 54. This reach is fed by a stormwater pond northeast of the proposed easement
boundary and is mostly stable throughout with good bedform diversity and existing riparian buffer. A
small seep (S1 on Figure 3) flows into the channel from the left bank, just before the confluence of TR1-A
and MN1. The right bank has a 30–50-foot buffer until it meets row crops, while the left bank has a 50–
70-foot buffer until meeting row crops. The riparian area contains a canopy of mature sugarberry,
ironwood, black willow and sycamore. On the downstream side of the proposed easement break,
intersected by Highway 54, reach TR1-B picks up and flows west until reaching the confluence with TR1-C
Tobacco Road
Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Plan 10 June 2023

and MN3. Upstream along TR1-B the channel splays out over the floodplain with little to no riparian buffer
due to active livestock access. Further downstream, past its one proposed easement break that divides the
reach used for agricultural access, the channel becomes straightened and oversized with vertical, eroded
banks. There is scattered vegetation along the banks, including eastern red cedar and black willow;
however, invasive species, including Chinese privet are present, and cattle access has heavily degraded the
existing riparian area. TR1-C begins at the confluence of MN3 and TR1-B and is segmented into three
sections due to two proposed easement breaks, one for a gas pipeline right of way and the other for
landowner access. Most of the reach is open to direct cattle access, which has led to degraded stream
banks and riparian buffer. Spoil piles are scattered along the banks. TR1-D begins at the confluence of
TR1-C and MN5-B. The right bank is heavily vegetated with a mix of native and invasive species and
extends from the top of bank to the proposed easement line, 50-70-feet. The left bank is sparsely
vegetated upstream but becoming fully exposed to row crop moving downstream. Species along both
banks, where present, include sycamore, sweet gum, red maple, black walnut, ironwood, white oak, eastern
red cedar, and Chinese privet. TR1-E begins downstream of the last proposed easement break along TR1.
The reach is mostly forested, with a mix of hardwood and invasive species, similar to those listed above.
The left bank forested riparian area extends from the top of bank to the proposed easement boundary,
50-70-feet; the right bank has a narrow buffer upstream, gaining a 50-70-foot buffer as it flows southwest.
The final reach is TR1-F, which extends downstream to the end of the proposed easement boundary.
Scattered bedrock lies throughout the bottom of the channel creating good bedform diversity and
sinuosity along the reach; however, erosion of the banks has caused the channel to become oversized,
impacting stability. The reach is sparsely buffered by mature hardwoods and some invasive species. A
weakly flowing ditch (D1 on Figure 3) is located on the left side of the floodplain along the toe of slope
where it intercepts seepage and diverts runoff from the floodplain.
TR2 is an intermittent tributary that has formed from a ditch outside of the easement and flows west,
paralleling the main channel, before coming to a confluence with TR1-C. It is sparsely forested with mature
native canopy species including eastern red cedar, sweet gum, sycamore, and red maple and some invasive
species including Japanese stilt grass, Japanese honeysuckle, and Chinese privet on both banks. The right
bank has a narrow line of trees dividing TR2 and TR1-C, while the left bank has a sparsely forested buffer
from the top of bank, out 20-50-feet, before transitioning to exposed pasture. Livestock access and other
agricultural manipulation have left the channel degraded and not functioning properly.
Reach MN1, divided into MN1-A and MN1-B based on stream treatment approach, flows south towards
TR1-A. MN1 has good bedform diversity, but a mostly exposed floodplain, surrounded by row crops on
both banks, with the exception of a few trees along the channel top of bank and a forested off-line pond
near the top of the reach. The few scattered trees along the reach include winged elm, sugarberry, red
maple, and sweet gum. Autumn olive and multiflora rose are also present along this reach.
Reach MN2, an intermittent tributary flowing south to TR1-B, is split into two smaller reaches, MN2-A and
MN2-B to account for stream treatment approach, divided by a proposed easement break designated for
an existing pipeline right of way. The channel begins as a headcut, flowing through forested buffer,
approximately 50-70-feet off the top of bank to the proposed easement boundary on both banks, before
emptying into a pasture with an exposed floodplain. MN2-A is a relatively stable channel with heavily

Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Plan 11 June 2023

vegetated stream banks and a well-developed riparian buffer composed mostly of mixed hardwoods,
including winged elm, sweet gum, red maple, and oak species. The channel has been straightened and
areas of piled trash can be found along the left bank. MN2-B begins after the proposed easement break
and flows through an exposed agricultural field, vegetated with pasture grasses, and heavily impacted by
historic and current livestock activity. The channel has been manipulated, lacking bedform diversity and
stability; in some areas ditched or splayed out over the floodplain.
Reach MN3 is an intermittent tributary flowing south toward the confluence of TR1-B and TR1-C. The reach
begins at the tree line south of its forested origin. MN3 has a mostly exposed floodplain to the north but
becomes sparsely forested closer to its confluence with TR1-C. Due to livestock pressure, straightening,
and ditching, the stream is not functioning to its highest potential.
Reach MN4, an intermittent tributary flowing north to TR1-C, is split into two smaller reaches, MN4-A and
MN4-B, divided by a proposed easement break designated as a farm crossing. The beginning of the
channel, MN4-A, starts just below an agricultural pond outside of the easement and flows north through
open pasture. There is sparse tree cover at the top of the reach; however, the majority of MN4-A has an
exposed floodplain, with little to no forested buffer, which has led this reach to splay out across the
floodplain in areas. The stream enters into sparse forest after a proposed easement break, which begins
MN4-B. The channel is relatively stable with heavily vegetated stream banks and a well-developed riparian
buffer composed mostly of mixed hardwoods; however, there is continued livestock access throughout
the reach which has impacted the functionality of MN4-B. The forested buffer ranges from 50-70 feet wide
from the top of both banks.
Reach MN5, is an intermittent tributary of TR1-C that flows northwest and is split into two smaller reaches,
MN5-A and MN5-B. The channel begins at MN5-A, a heavily forested stream with a well-developed rocky
bed. With vegetation along both banks, the reach is able to maintain stability and nutrient intake from the
adjacent pasture. The left bank is fully forested out to the easement boundary, at least 100 feet from the
top of bank, while the right bank is mostly forested, 30-50 feet from the top of bank, leaving a small
corridor of remaining row crop to be planted with native riparian species. Some incision is present on the
upstream portion of the reach. MN5-A meets MN5-B as the right bank becomes less vegetated with
hardwoods, and more vegetated with pasture grasses. There is livestock access to both MN5-A and MN5-
B; however, the impacts are more evident along MN5-B as the channel banks are more eroded and become
splayed out across the floodplain in some areas. The left bank remains forested along the entire reach.
Reach MN6, a tributary of TR1-D, flowing northwest, is split into two smaller reaches, MN6-A and MN6-B.
It begins as MN6-A, a moderately established channel, originating at a forested headcut. The banks are
relatively shallow, splayed out in some places, most likely due to agricultural manipulation, but otherwise
functioning properly. The stream parallels a planted field along the left bank, with a 50-foot forested buffer
running between, while the right bank is densely forested with a mix of hardwoods, at least 100 feet from
the top of bank. Invasive species are present along this reach. The channel transitions to reach MN6-B
after flowing north beyond the tree line. This reach has been heavily ditched and straightened, lacking
bedform diversity. The banks are splayed across the exposed floodplain adjacent to row crops. There is no
forested buffer protecting this reach.

Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Plan 12 June 2023

Reach MN7, flows from the north towards TR1-D. The channel is fed by a linear wetland above, beginning
at the edge of an agricultural field and flowing south into a forested buffer. With adequate bedform
diversity and a mostly vegetated riparian buffer, MN7 exhibits high stability and functionality. Some
invasives are present along the reach, but the canopy is mostly native hardwoods. The easement boundary
along the right bank lacks a fully developed riparian buffer where a portion of row crop encroaches in at
the upstream portion of the channel, otherwise, both banks are fully vegetated out 50-100 feet from both
left and right top of bank.
MN8 begins as a forested headcut flowing northwest intermittently before coming to a confluence with
TR1-E. The reach is surrounded by disturbed riparian forest, comprised mostly of invasive species,
specifically autumn olive. Row crops border the forest line to the north and east. The stream begins shallow,
lacking bedform, but as it flows downstream towards TR1-E it develops a more stable, rocky bed.
MN9 flows northwest intermittently towards MN6, beginning as a forested headcut. The channel exhibits
adequate bedform diversity with shallow banks, splayed out in some areas. The entirety of the reach is
forested throughout. This reach was added during the on-site stream determination with DWR. The
forested buffer width along MN9 is more than 100 feet off the right top of bank and at least 50 feet off
the left top of bank.
1.3.4 Wetlands
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetland Inventory Map (NWI) depicts three
wetland types within the Project bounds (Figure 10). The wetland types include palustrine, unconsolidated
bottom, permanently flooded, impounded waters (PUBHh); riverine, intermittent, streambed, seasonally
flooded waters (R4SBC); and palustrine, forested, broad-leaved deciduous, temporarily flooded waters
(PFO1A). A delineation of existing wetlands was performed in December 2021 and January 2022. The
delineation was performed using current methodology outlined in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Wetland Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory 1987) and Regional Supplement to the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region (Version 2.0) (U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers 2010). A total of 24 jurisdictional wetlands were observed in and adjacent to the
proposed Project boundaries (Table 3; Figure 10).

2 REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS
2.1 Threatened and Endangered Species
Plants and animals with a federal classification of endangered or threatened are protected under provisions
of Sections 7 and 9 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, as amended. The USFWS database
(accessed for Alamance County, March 2022) lists one federally endangered species that may occur in
proximity to the Project, the Cape Fear shiner (Notropis mekistocholas). A candidate for federal protection,
the monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) was also listed as a species that may occur in proximity to the
Project. In addition, the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act (BGPA) and prohibits take of bald and golden eagles. No protected species were observed
during preliminary site evaluations; however, potential habitat for the monarch butterfly was noted
throughout the Project. A summary of federally-protected species in Alamance County is included in Table
4.
Table 4. Federally Protected Species in Alamance County
Common Name Scientific name Federal Status Habitat Present Record Status
Cape Fear Shiner Notropis
mekistocholas E No Current
Monarch Butterfly Danaus plexippus C Yes Current
Bald Eagle Haliaeetus leucocephalus BGPA No Current
BGPA = Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, E = Endangered, C= Candidate
The proposed project offers some potential to improve and create habitat for wildlife species. Habitat may
be improved or created for species that require riverine habitat by improving water quality, in-stream and
near-stream forage, and providing stable conditions not subject to regular maintenance. The project will
also create upland herbaceous and wetland forested habitat for terrestrial and pollinator species. The
USFWS agreed with the findings that minimal adverse impacts to fish and wildlife resources is expected
from this Project. Correspondence is found in Appendix G of the Tobacco Road Stream and Wetland
Mitigation Plan.
In addition to the USFWS database, the NC Natural Heritage Program (NHP) GIS database was consulted
to determine whether previously cataloged occurrences of protected species were mapped within one
mile of the project. Results from NHP indicate that there are no known occurrences of state threatened or
endangered species within a one-mile radius of the project area. Documentation is found in Appendix G
of the Tobacco Road Stream and Wetland Mitigation Plan.
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) was also consulted to review the Project for
any possible concerns. There were no known records for federal or state listed species within the vicinity
of the site. Recommendations provided by NCWRC for the Project included the use of biodegradable and
wildlife-friendly sediment and erosion control devices, maximizing riparian buffer widths when possible,
and planting native grasses and trees appropriate Alamance County. Correspondence is found in
Appendix G of the Tobacco Road Stream and Wetland Mitigation Plan.
Tobacco Road
Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Plan 18 June 2023

2.2 Cultural Resources
A review of North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) GIS Web Service (accessed March
2022) database did not reveal any registered historic or archeological occurrences within the Project area.
The search did however reveal two registered occurrences within one mile of the Project area, the Sherriff
Turrentine House (AM0444), which is now gone, and the Newlin-Thompson House (AM0432). There are
no anticipated impacts from Project activities to state surveyed properties as there are none in the
proposed Project vicinity. A letter was received on July 20, 2021, from the SHPO in response to a letter
sent June 25, 2021, stating that there will be no effect on historic resources. Correspondence is provided
in Appendix G of the Tobacco Road Stream and Wetland Mitigation Plan.
In compliance with 15A NCAC 02R .0403(c)(7), (8), and (11), the areas of preservation within the Project
include “the absence of extensive structures and infrastructure” (7), “the absence of hazardous substance
and solid waste” (8), and “the absence of encumbrances and conditions on the transfer of the property
interests” (11). An EDR, received in February 2022, is provided in Appendix AC.
2.3 Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Floodplain/Floodway
Mapping
Inspection of the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map indicates that the western portion of the proposed
Project area and its associated floodplains are located within a Zone AE flood area (Figure 11). A
hydrologic analysis will be completed on the existing and proposed conditions of these reaches. Further
information can be found in the Tobacco Road Stream and Wetland Mitigation Plan.
2.4 Project Constraints
Eight easement breaks are proposed throughout to allow for various access needs. Two of these breaks
allow for the right-of-way to an underground gas pipeline that runs through the Project from northeast to
southwest. One break on the eastern side of the Project allows the right-of-way for NC Highway 54. The
final five breaks will be included to allow for landowner and livestock access throughout the parcel, outside
of the proposed easement boundaries. These breaks have been discussed and coordinated by the
landowner to limit potential negative impacts to the stream and surrounding riparian area due to any
future agricultural practices (Figure 11).

Tobacco Road
Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Plan 19 June 2023

3 RIPARIAN RESTORATION, ENHANCEMENT, AND
PRESERVATION PLAN
The goal of the Project is to restore ecological function to the streams and riparian areas by establishing
appropriate stream buffer plant communities where absent, as well as to protect these buffers and stream
function into perpetuity. The buffered channels will provide water quality and habitat functions within the
Haw River Subwatershed of Jordan Lake, such as nutrient and sediment removal, filtration of runoff from
nearby agricultural fields, and improved aquatic and terrestrial habitat. The current land uses adjacent to
the streams proposed for buffer restoration, enhancement, and preservation are primarily composed of
active livestock pasture, cropland, and disturbed riparian area.
Riparian restoration, enhancement, and preservation proposed under this Plan are shown in Figure 6, and
were determined viable mitigation approaches by the DWR in their letter dated September 24, 2021
attached in Appendix AB. All riparian restoration, enhancement, and preservation buffer mitigation
activities along channels will occur within two dedicated zones from the edge of the bank: the top of bank
to 50-foot-wide zone of buffer perpendicular from the top of bank; and the 151- to 200-foot-wide zone
of buffer perpendicular from the top of the bank. The zone 51 to 150 feet from the top of bank will be
claimed for additional stream credit in the Tobacco Road Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank. The
Tobacco Road Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank will also rehabilitate and create wetlands which will
generate wetland credits on-site; therefore, any area where wetlands are proposed will also be excluded
from the dedicated Riparian Buffer and/or Nutrient credit generation zones. There will be no overlap in
the Riparian Buffer and/or Nutrient bank credit areas, wetland credit areas, and buffer areas dedicated for
additional stream credit generation (Figure 7).

Before beginning construction, EBX will ensure that permitting scenarios are completed. EBX plans to obtain
Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 404 permit approval and will submit applications for a CWA Section 401, a
North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Erosion and Sediment Control permit, and a FEMA
no-rise condition and permit.

Tobacco Road
Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Plan 20 June 2023

3.1 Parcel Preparation
Preparation within the Parcel will involve treatment for exotic invasive species, contoured ripping, fencing
out livestock, and seeding and planting. In areas of wetland creation that are planned to be mostly cleared
of trees, decompaction techniques to increase porosity, specifically ripping these areas 16 to 20 inches,
will be performed. Where larger trees are expected to remain, equipment will be limited, and no ripping
will occur. Once the soil is prepared, it will be seeded and planted with native riparian species (Appendix
H of the Stream and Wetland Mitigation Plan). This process should provide favorable soil conditions for
plant growth. Other stabilization and implementation of dispersal techniques will be utilized where surface
flows have become concentrated to minimize the chances of non-diffuse flow. A combination of silt
fencing, erosion control wattles, temporary seeding, and erosion control matting will be used to reduce
erosion and stabilize soil in riparian areas during any land disturbance activities. These erosion control
measures shall be inspected and properly maintained at the end of each working day to ensure measures
are functioning properly until permanent vegetation is established. Disturbed areas shall be temporarily
seeded within ten working days and upon completion of final grading, permanent vegetation shall be
established for all disturbed areas. Any topsoil that is removed during construction will be stockpiled and
reserved for final site soil preparation. Temporary and permanent riparian seeding shall be done in
accordance with the erosion control plan. A list of species used in the seed mix can be found in the plan
set, Appendix H of the Stream and Wetland Mitigation Plan. This seed mix and planted tree selection
includes pollinator species such as oxeye sunflower (Heliopsis helianthoides), blackeyed susan (Rudbeckia
hirta), swamp milkweed (Asclepias incarnata), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), silky dogwood (Cornus
amomum), and persimmon (Diospyros virginiana). Bare root plantings and live stakes shall be planted
according to the planting plan found in Section 3.5 and the plan set, Appendix H of the Stream and
Wetland Mitigation Plan. Invasive species will require different and multiple treatment methods,
depending on plant phenology and the location of the species being treated. Treatment methods will
include mechanical (cutting with loppers, clippers, or chain saw) and chemical (foliar spray, cut stump, and
hack and squirt techniques). Plants containing mature, viable seeds, will be removed from the Project and
properly disposed. Management records will be kept on the plant species treated, type of treatment
employed, type of herbicide used, application technique, and herbicide concentration and quantities used.
These records will be included in all reporting documents.
All riparian restoration, enhancement, and preservation activities will commence in concurrence with the
stream and wetland mitigation activities and not before. Therefore, the mitigation area where riparian
restoration and enhancement is being performed may be altered slightly depending on the approval of
the Stream and Wetland Mitigation Plan. The limits of the riparian restoration and enhancement areas will
be surveyed post-planting and seeding, and the information will be provided in the As-Built report and
plat.
3.2 Riparian Restoration Activities
Buffer restoration along subject streams is proposed along both right and left banks of TR1-A through
TR1-E, MN1, MN4, and TR2, in accordance with the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC
02B.0295(n). Non-subject buffer restoration will occur along non-subject streams, specifically MN2, MN3,
MN5, MN6, and MN7, in accordance with the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 0295(o)(3)
Tobacco Road
Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Plan 21 June 2023

(Figure 6). Nutrient offset is proposed along the right bank of TR1-A. Stream Restoration will address
existing impairments including floodplain dislocation, bank erosion, channel incision, nutrient input, and
buffer degradation. The stream design approach will include meandering the proposed channels within
the natural valley (Appendix H of the Stream and Wetland Mitigation Plan). Within the easement, riparian
restoration areas will be planted from top of bank to a minimum of 50 feet from the stream outward to a
maximum of 200 feet perpendicular to the stream channel. The restoration areas will be planted with bare
root tree seedlings on a nine by six-foot spacing to achieve an initial density of at least 800 trees per acre
(Appendix H of the Stream and Wetland Mitigation Plan). Planting will consist of a composition of native
bare-root tree species specified in Section 3.5. Livestock exclusion fencing will be installed along the
easement boundaries adjacent to reaches TR1-B, TR1-C, TR2, MN2, MN3, MN4, and MN5. The restoration
of plant communities within the Parcel will not only provide stabilization and improve water within the
easement limits but will also provide ecological benefits to the entire watershed.
3.3 Riparian Enhancement Activities
Buffer Enhancement along subject streams will occur in forested areas accessed and grazed by livestock,
within the Project, in accordance with the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o) (6).
These areas are found along TR1-B, TR1-C, TR2, and MN4-B where the riparian areas are disturbed by
continued cattle access and non-native nuisance species, leaving the riparian areas functioning less than
their highest potential (Figure 6). Similarly, non-subject buffer enhancement along non-subject streams
will occur on MN2, in accordance with the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 0295(o)(6).
Livestock exclusion fencing will be installed throughout the easement boundaries that border the affected
reaches. Some areas adjacent to the forested areas may require maintenance due to the rapid regeneration
of some species, such as red maple (Acer rubrum) and sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua). These areas
will also be treated for unwanted species and planted with bare root species in areas affected by heavy
cattle grazing or cleared for stream restoration. Riparian enhancement credits are not transferrable to
nutrient offset credits.
3.4 Riparian Preservation Activities
Buffer preservation is proposed along subject streams including TR1-A, TR1-D, TR1-E, TR1-F, and MN1 in
accordance with the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B.0295(o)(5) (Figure 6). Preservation
activities along the banks of MN2-A, MN5, MN6-A, MN7, MN8, and MN9 will be non-subject preservation
on non-subject streams in accordance with the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 0295(o)(4).
Documentation of the site meeting the requirements of 15A NCAC 02R .0403(c)(7)(8) and (11) is provided
in Appendix AC. Preservation activities will consist of permanently protecting the buffer from cutting,
clearing, filling, grading, and similar activities that would affect the functioning of the buffer through a
conservation easement that will have clearly visible easement markers and signs (see Section 3.6 for
further descriptions of the easement boundaries). No more than 25 percent of the total area of buffer
mitigation will be used for preservation credit pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B.0295(o)(5) and 15A NCAC
0295(o)(4) and the rest of the area will be protected in the conservation easement and not applied for
credit. Furthermore, buffer preservation can only generate Riparian Buffer mitigation credit and is not
transferrable to nutrient offset credits.
Tobacco Road
Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Plan 22 June 2023

3.5 Planting Plan
Revegetation of the Project where riparian restoration and enhancement is being performed will meet the
performance standards outlined in the Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295. This includes treating invasive species
growth and planting at least 4 native hardwood bare root trees planted at a density to ensure a density of
260 stems per acres at the completion of monitoring. No one tree species will be greater than 50% of the
established stems. All bare root stems will be mixed thoroughly prior to planting to ensure diversity of
stems during the planting process. Vegetation within riparian areas can vary depending on disturbance
regime and adjacent community types, so the protected buffer easement will be planted with appropriate
native species observed in the surrounding forest and species known to occur in similar environments. To
ensure tree diversity across the Project area, bare root trees will be well mixed before planting.
The selection of plant species is based on vegetation observations from reference reaches and typical
native vegetation for the surrounding area, as well as plants that have performed well in past restoration
activities. The reference streams are located in the Piedmont region of North Carolina. Some reference
stream channels adjacent to and channels within the Project are most similar to a Piedmont Headwater
Stream Forest. This community type represents forests of floodplains of the smallest Piedmont streams,
generally intermittent to 1st or 2nd order. Some alluvial processes have a limited influence on vegetation
and most characteristic alluvial species are scarce (Schafale, 2012). Other stream reaches adjacent and
within the Project resemble a Piedmont Alluvial Forest, which are forests with a substantial component of
alluvial species, on narrow floodplains of small streams where the floodplain is narrowed by bedrock. These
are floodplains with limited differentiation of communities by depositional landforms, with natural levees,
backswamps, and sloughs absent or too small to create separate communities. These two target
communities will be referenced when selecting species for the planting areas. Due to the site
characteristics, including soil types, wetland extent, and existing vegetation, there will be two proposed
planting zones that include the stream corridor riparian areas and the riparian wetland zone. Both zones
have a unique planting plan associated with it that was determined using multiple sources. Tree species
specified for planting on the Tobacco Road Project are shown in Table 5. Further details regarding the
planting plan and area can be found in Appendix H of the Stream and Wetland Mitigation Plan, and
Figure 12. Please note that the real compositions of planted trees may differ from this proposed list due
to availability; however, the procured trees will ideally be comprised of species from the list. With that said,
the minimum number of unique species to be planted across the Project will be seven.
In addition, these areas will be seeded with an herbaceous seed mix to provide rapid herbaceous cover
and promote immediate buffer effectiveness as well as habitat for pollinators and other wildlife. The seed
blend will contain both temporary and permanent seed and will include taproot species. See Table 6 for
the proposed herbaceous seed mix composition. The seed will be sown utilizing a no-till drill or broadcast
and discing depending on the site conditions at the time of planting.

3.6 Easement Boundaries and Fencing
Easement boundaries will be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between the Parcel and
adjacent properties. Easement boundaries and fencing will be completed prior to the As-Built onsite visit
by DWR. Boundaries may be identified by fence, marker, bollard, post, tree-blazing, or other means as
allowed by site conditions and/or conservation easement. Boundaries will be marked with signs identifying
the property as a mitigation site that will include the name of the long-term steward and a contact number.
Boundary markers disturbed, damaged, or destroyed will be repaired and/or replaced on an as needed
basis. The easement boundary will be checked annually as part of monitoring activities and the conditions
as well as any maintenance performed will be reported in the annual monitoring reports to DWR.
3.7 DWR As-Built Evaluation
Within 30 calendar days after completing the establishment of the buffer mitigation and nutrient offset
areas, EBX 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.

Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Plan 25 June 2023

4 MONITORING AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
4.1 Monitoring Protocol and Success Criteria
Riparian buffer vegetation monitoring will be based on the “CVS-EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation
Level 2 Plot Sampling Only Version 4.2.” Annual vegetation monitoring will occur each year for a minimum
of five years and will be conducted during the fall season with the first year occurring at least six months
from initial planting. As part of the stream and wetland mitigation plan, a mix of 20 vegetation monitoring
plots, both fixed and random, will be installed a minimum of 100 m2 in size in the planted area (25.27
acres) and will cover at least two percent of the planted mitigation area for the Stream and Wetland
Mitigation Bank. At least 12 fixed plots will be located inside the Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset
crediting areas (10.64 acres) (Figure 12). The following data will be recorded for all planted and volunteer
trees in the plots: species, height, planting date (or volunteer), and grid location. All stems in plots will be
flagged with flagging tape. Photographs will be taken at established monitoring stations each monitoring
year. Visual inspection reports and photographs will be provided in the annual reports to ensure that
restoration and enhancement areas are being maintained and compliant. The measures of vegetative
success for the Project will be the survival of at least four native hardwood tree species, where no one
species is greater than 50 percent of stems, at a density of at least 260 planted trees per acre at the end
of Year 5. Desirable native volunteer species may be included to meet the performance standards as
determined by DWR. Invasive and noxious species will be monitored and treated so that none become
dominant or alter the desired community structure of the Project.
A visual assessment of the conservation easement will also be performed each year to confirm:
• Fencing is in good condition throughout the site (as livestock will now be present in the
surrounding area, outside of the easement);
• no cattle access within the conservation easement area;
• no encroachment has occurred;
• diffuse flow is being maintained in the conservation easement area; and
• there has not been any cutting, clearing, filling, grading, or similar activities that would
negatively affect the functioning of the buffer.
RES will monitor the stream and wetland mitigation bank for a minimum of seven years, or until release by
IRT approval. Therefore, plots placed within riparian restoration areas that are outside of the mitigation
area for buffer credits will be monitored in accordance with the monitoring protocol in the Tobacco Road
Stream and Wetland Mitigation Plan.
4.2 Adaptive Management Plan and Parcel Maintenance
Adaptive measures will be developed, or appropriate remedial actions taken if in the event that the Project,
or a specific component of the Project, fails to achieve the defined success criteria. Remedial actions will
be designed to achieve the success criteria specified in this Plan, and will include identification of the
causes of failure, remedial design approach, work schedule, and monitoring criteria that will take into
account physical and climatic conditions.
Initial plant maintenance may include a one-time mowing, prior to initial planting to remove undesirable
species. If mowing is deemed necessary by RES during the monitoring period, RES must receive approval
Tobacco Road
Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Plan 26 June 2023

by the DWR prior to any mowing activities to ensure that no buffer violations have been performed. Failure
to receive approval to mow within the Jordan Lake buffer, as defined in 15A NCAC 02B.0267, by the DWR
could result in Jordan Lake buffer violations and violations of the conservation easement. If necessary, RES
will develop a species-specific control plan.
4.3 Long Term Management Plan
EBX acting as the Bank Sponsor, will record a Conservation Easement with the Alamance County Register
of Deeds’ Office for this site. The Conservation Easement will be assigned to Unique Places to Save (UP2S).
All monitoring activities, including periodic inspections of the site to ensure that restrictions required in
the Conservation Easement are upheld, are the responsibility of EBX until the Bank Parcel is transferred to
UP2S. Endowment funds required to uphold the Tobacco Road Bank Parcel conservation easement in
perpetuity shall be negotiated prior to site transfer to the UP2S.
The Bank Sponsor will ensure that the Conservation Easement has allowed for the implementation of an
initial monitoring phase, which will be developed during the design phase and conducted by the Bank
Sponsor. The Conservation Easement will allow for yearly monitoring and, if necessary, maintenance of the
Parcel during the initial monitoring phase. These activities will be conducted in accordance with the terms
and conditions of the RES Tobacco Road Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset MBI made and entered into
by EBX and DWR.

5 FINANCIAL ASSURANCE
The Sponsor will provide financial assurances in the form of Performance Bonds sufficient to assure one
hundred percent (100%) completion of all mitigation work, required reporting and monitoring, and any
remedial work required. Financial assurances will be payable at the direction of the DWR to its designee
or to a standby trust. Financial assurances structured to provide funds to the DWR in the event of default
by the Bank Sponsor are not acceptable. The initial performance bond will be in the amount of at least
$150,000 and shall be able to cover 100% of the costs associated with construction of the riparian
restoration areas. The monitoring bond shall be in the amount of at least $100,000 and shall be able to
cover 100% of the costs associated with the monitoring and maintenance of the riparian restoration areas
for five years.
Performance bonds for monitoring shall be renewed to cover each year’s monitoring period, with
confirmation of renewal provided to DWR with each annual monitoring report when applicable. DWR
reserves the right to alter the credit release schedule if monitoring reports are submitted without proof of
bond renewals when applicable.
6 MITIGATION POTENTIAL
The Project presents 43.01 acres of permanent conservation easement in Alamance County, North Carolina.
While this easement also encompasses areas for the Tobacco Road Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank,
the purpose of the Project is to generate Haw River Subwatershed of Jordan Lake Riparian Buffer and
Nutrient Offset credits.
There are two dedicated Riparian Buffer and Nutrient credit generation zones within the overall buffer
area: the first will begin at the most landward limit of the top of bank or the rooted herbaceous vegetation
and extend outward to a distance of 50 feet. The second zone begins at 151 feet and extends landward to
200 feet from the top of bank. The zone (51 to 150 feet from top of bank) between the first and second
Riparian Buffer and/or Nutrient Credit generating zones is dedicated to stream credit generation. There
are also wetland restoration and creation areas proposed within the easement that will be excluded from
the dedicated Riparian Buffer and/or Nutrient bank credit areas. There will be no overlap in the Riparian
Buffer and/or Nutrient bank credit areas, wetland credit areas, and buffer areas dedicated for additional
stream credit generation (Figures 6 and 7).
This Bank has the potential to generate approximately 363,900.000 riparian buffer restoration credits,
57,445.500 riparian buffer enhancement credits, and 30,829.494 riparian buffer preservation credits. There
will be 3,868.000 ft2 of nutrient offset credits, viable for buffer restoration in accordance with 15A NCAC
02B.0703, delivered as 159.789 lbs of Nitrogen and 9.323 lbs of Phosphorus. The riparian buffer mitigation
credits generated will service authorized riparian buffer impacts within the Haw River Subwatershed of
Jordan Lake. The nutrient offsets generated will service nutrient load reduction requirements where
payments are authorized in 15A NCAC 02B.0703 within the Haw River Subwatershed. The Sponsor will
maintain four credit ledgers. One ledger will account for Riparian Buffer Restoration credits, one ledger
will account for buffer enhancement and buffer Preservation credits, one ledger will account for Nitrogen
nutrient offset credits, and one will account for Phosphorus nutrient offset credits. All mitigation credit
Tobacco Road
Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Plan 28 June 2023

assets shall be shown on these credit ledgers. The detailed Project credits breakdown utilizing the DWR
“Project Credit Table Template (updated February 2022),” including buffer credits that are convertible to
nutrient offset credit, is provided below in Table 7.
The Sponsor may use the credits generated on the non-forested open fields within widths of at least 50
feet from the top of bank, for Jordan Lake Riparian Buffer Mitigation or Nutrient Offsets, but not both. All
applicable ratios must be accounted for when converting from nutrient offset to buffer. Credit conversions
must be calculated using the guidance provided in the Clarified Procedures for Calculating Buffer
Mitigation Credits & Nutrient Offset Credits as provided in the MBI. The Sponsor must submit a written
request and receive written approval from DWR prior to any credit conversions and transfers to the buffer
and nutrient offset credit ledgers. With each conversion and transfer request submitted to the DWR, the
Sponsor will provide all updated credit ledgers showing all transactions that have occurred up to the date
of the request. The potential convertible square footage of riparian buffer credits to nutrient offset credits
is provided in Table 7.

IV. ESTABLISHMENT OF BANK PARCEL
A. In accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0295 and 15A NCAC 02B .0703, DWR has provided a “Site
Viability Letter” for the Bank Parcel proposed under this Instrument. The site viability letter is not
an approval of the site to generate Riparian Buffer Credits and Nutrient Offset Credits, but is a
preliminary review of the Bank Parcel that details and confirms existing land-use conditions,
defines the riparian sites (Enhancement, Preservation, or Restoration), and identifies features
(streams, ditches, ponds, etc.) that meet general criteria to be suitable to generate Riparian Buffer
Credits and Nutrient Offset Credits. Table 2.0 below outlines when a Site Viability Letter was
issued by DWR for the mitigation site proposed under this Instrument:

Table 2.0 – Site Viability Letter Details

B. A valid Site Viability Letter is required prior to submittal of the Plan. Site Viability Letters will
either expire on the dates listed in the table above or upon the submittal of an individual As-Built
Report to the DWR, whichever comes first. If the Site Viability Letter expires prior to submittal
of a complete Plan as described in Section V to DWR, then the Sponsor must submit a formal
request to DWR for a new Site Viability Letter for that Bank Parcel.

C. The Bank Parcel proposed for inclusion under this Instrument shall require a Plan be submitted to,
and approved by, the DWR prior to use of the individual Bank Parcel for mitigation purposes or
for any sale or transfer of any associated credits. The contents of the Plan are provided in Section
V.

D. This Bank Parcel is slated to be developed in conjunction with the RES Cape Fear Umbrella
Mitigation Bank, and the Tobacco Road Mitigation Site, United States Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) Action ID # SAW-2021-00489, for stream mitigation. The Stream Mitigation Plan
associated with this Bank Parcel has been submitted to the Interagency Review Team (IRT) for
review and approval.

E. The Plan submitted under this instrument will be placed on public notice and made available for
public commenting for 15 calendar days.

F. Most of the Riparian Buffer Credits on this Bank Parcel will be generated along stream channels
that are proposed for stream mitigation. The Stream Mitigation Plan will be submitted under the
RES Cape Fear Umbrella Mitigation Bank referenced in “D” in this section. Additionally, all
activities conducted within riparian buffers and adjacent riparian areas for purposes of generating
Riparian Buffer Credits or Nutrient Offset Credits will be conducted in concurrence with stream
mitigation activities and not before. Riparian Buffer Credit may be achieved through restoration,
enhancement and preservation of DWR riparian buffers as they are defined in 15A NCAC 02B
.0267, and other riparian areas allowed per 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (n) and (o) where applicable.
Riparian Buffer Credits are only attainable if the width of the riparian areas is at least 20 feet
from tops of banks along streams and ephemeral channels when measuring perpendicular and
landward from tops of banks. Riparian Buffer Credits are attainable to a maximum of 200 feet
from tops of banks of streams and ephemeral channels and a maximum of 50 feet from tops
of banks of viable ditches. The viability potential of features to generate Riparian Buffer
Credit is provided in the Site Viability Letter for the Bank Parcel and referenced in Table 2.0
of this Instrument.

G. The Bank Parcel is intended to provide Jordan Lake Riparian Buffer Credit as follows:

1. Planting hardwood trees and shrubs on a Restoration Site as defined in 15A NCAC 02B
.0295(b) adjacent to viable mitigated streams as allowed per 15 NCAC 02B .0295(n) and (o).
2. Maintaining a Preservation Site as defined in 15A NCAC 02B .0295(b) by placing a
conservation easement around riparian areas adjacent to mitigated streams as allowed by
15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o).
3. Enhancing riparian areas that are being grazed by cattle by installing fencing to
permanently exclude cattle from the mitigated streams and their associated riparian areas
as allowed in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(6).

4. Diffused flow will be maintained onsite to the maximum extent practicable. The Buffer
Interpretation/Clarification Memo #2008‐019 may be applied where maintenance of
diffuse flow onsite is unattainable

H. Nutrient Offset Credit may be achieved on this Bank Parcel through restoration of the riparian
areas adjacent to mitigated streams, where agriculture was determined by DWR to be the
predominant land use. Nutrient Offset Credits are only attainable if the width of the restored
riparian areas are at least fifty (50) feet as measured perpendicular from tops of banks along viable
streams. The width of the restoration area begins at the most landward limit of the top of bank or
the rooted herbaceous vegetation and extends landward a minimum of 50 feet and a maximum of
200 feet on all sides of the surface waters. The viability of features to generate nutrient offset
credits is provided in the Site Viability Letter for the Bank Parcel and referenced in Table 2.0 of
this Instrument.

I. The Bank Parcel is expected to provide Nutrient Offset Credits in accordance with 15A NCAC
02B .0703 as follows:

1. Converting agricultural land uses within riparian areas to a diverse forest by placing a
perpetual conservation easement around riparian areas along viable and mitigated streams
in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0703 (g).
2. Planting hardwood trees and shrubs on a Restoration Site as defined in 15A NCAC 02B
.0295(b) adjacent to viable and mitigated streams where agriculture has been determined
by DWR to be the predominant land-use.

J. The total area of riparian restoration activities on the Tobacco Road Bank Parcel is expected to be
43.01 acres.

and the approved Plan, the Bank Sponsor shall develop necessary contingency plans in
coordination with the DWR and implement appropriate remedial actions for the Bank Parcel and
the Bank. Depending on the degree of remedial actions required, the DWR may modify the
monitoring period.

VII. CALCULATION OF CREDITS
Riparian Buffer Credits

A. All Riparian Buffer Credits shall be determined based on the ratios and percentages provided in
15A NCAC 02B .0295(m) and (n) following the guidance provided in the Clarified Procedures
for Calculating Buffer Mitigation Credits and Nutrient Offset Credits letter issued by the DWR,
see reference # 4, including the most recent Project Credit Table Template provided online (see
Attachment D).

B. Riparian buffer restoration on the Bank Parcel, as described in 15A NCAC 02B .0295(n) and (o)(3)
and defined in 15A NCAC 02B .0295(b) that is performed on agriculture lands within the Bank
Parcel, may be used for either Riparian Buffer Credit or Nutrient Offset Credit, but not both.

C. Riparian buffer preservation on the Bank Parcel, as described in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o) and
defined in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (b), can only be used for Riparian Buffer Credit.

D. Riparian Buffer Credit is defined as one (1) buffer credit per one square foot or 43,560 buffer
credits per one acre.

Nutrient Offset Credits

E. The square footage of Nutrient Offset Credits on the Bank Parcel submitted under this Instrument
will be determined by applying the applicable ratio as provided in 15A NCAC 02B .0295(m) for
a Restoration Site following the guidance provided in the Clarified Procedures for Calculating
Buffer Mitigation Credits and Nutrient Offset Credits issued by the DWR, including the most
recent Project Credit Table Template provided online by DWR, see reference # 4 and Attachment
D. All riparian areas proposed for Nutrient Offset Credits must be a minimum of 50 feet from the
top of the stream banks on land noted in a Site Viability Letter as agriculture.

F. Nutrient Offset Credits cannot be achieved through the preservation activities performed on this
Bank Parcel.

F. Nutrient Offset Credits cannot be achieved through the enhancement activities performed on this
Bank Parcel that are generated under 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(6).

G. Nutrient Abatement of Restored Riparian Area/Buffers within landuse determined to be
agricultural land: The Sponsor and DWR agree to the following:
11

a. Pursuant to the Jordan Trading Rule Item 15A NCAC 02B .0273(2)(a), load reductions
eligible for credit are only those that exceed reduction needs calculated by applying the
strategy subwatershed percentage reduction goals as provided in 15A NCAC 02B .0262(5).
For the Haw River Subwatershed, this requirement results in a reduction of credits yielded
per acre for restored riparian buffers when compared with the credit given in other river
basins. Table 3.0 below lists the generated credit per acre of restored riparian buffer for the
Haw River Subwatershed.

Table 3.0. Generated credit yields for forest buffer restoration in Haw River Subwatershed
Credit Generated (lbs/30 yrs/ac)
Jordan Subwatershed Nitrogen Phosphorus
Haw River 2,249.360 143.810

H. As required under Jordan Trading Item 15A NCAC 02B .0273 (2)(d)(i), the party seeking to sell
credit must account for differences in instream nutrient losses between the location of the reduction
need and excess loading reduction being delivered to the affected area of Jordan Lake. Attachment
B produced the delivered Jordan Lake Total Nitrogen (TN) and Jorden Lake Total Phosphorus
(TP) credit yields per acre of buffer restoration by each Jordan Lake 14-digit HUC subwatershed.

a. Delivered credits are calculated by applying the delivery factors in Table 4.0 below and the
acreage of riparian restoration to the generated credit yields from Table 3.0 above. The
delivery factors for the Bank Parcel under this Instrument for Total Nitrogen (TN) and
Total Phosphorus (TP) are provided in Table 4.0 below using Attachment B for reference.
The amount of delivered credits for each Bank Parcel will be detailed in the Plan for the
Bank Parcel.

b. The Bank Sponsor shall report the pounds of nitrogen and phosphorus credit per acre of
restored riparian buffer in the Bank Parcel’s Plan for both credits generated at the site of
the nutrient reduction activity and the credit delivered to Jordan Lake.

I. The Sponsor and DWR agree the methodology and calculations for determining nitrogen and
phosphorus reduction, associated with restoration of riparian areas as described in Section IV of
this Instrument, shall be fixed as part of the approval of this Instrument, with the fixed amount not
changing during the Plan review or credit release schedule for the bank parcel. For further details
on the approved method and calculations for determining nutrient reductions associated with the
riparian restoration on this Bank Parcel refer to the NCDWR - Methodology & Calculations for
Nutrient Reductions document found in reference # 5.

Re: Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset – Tobacco Road Site
Near 35.973063, -79.282234 in Graham, NC
Haw River Sub-watershed
Alamance County

Dear Mr. Butler,

On June 21, 2021, Katie Merritt, with the Division of Water Resources (DWR), received a request
from you on behalf of Environmental Banc & Exchange, LLC (EBX) for a site visit near the above-
referenced site in the Haw River Sub-watershed of Jordan Lake. The site visit was to determine the
potential for riparian buffer mitigation and nutrient offset within a proposed conservation easement
boundary, which is more accurately depicted in the attached map labeled “Figure 4-Existing
Conditions” (Figure 4) prepared by EBX. The proposed easement boundary in Figure 4, includes all
riparian areas intended to be proposed as part of the mitigation site. This site is also intended to be
proposed as a stream mitigation site and therefore stream bank instability or presence of erosional
rills within riparian areas were not addressed. On August 11, 2021, Ms. Merritt performed a site
assessment of the subject site. Staff with EBX were also present.

Ms. Merritt’s evaluation of the features onsite and their associated mitigation determination for the
riparian areas are provided in the table below. This evaluation was made from Top of Bank (TOB)
and landward 200’ from each feature for buffer mitigation pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295
(effective November 1, 2015) and for nutrient offset credits pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0703.

1Subjectivity calls for the features were determined by DWR in correspondence dated June 1, 2021 (DWR# -no ID) using the 1:24,000
scale quadrangle topographic map prepared by USGS and the most recent printed version of the soil survey map prepared by the
NRCS .
2The area of preservation credit within a buffer mitigation site shall comprise of no more than 25 percent (25%) of the total area of buffer
mitigation per 15A NCAC 0295 (o)(5) and 15A NCAC 0295 (o)(4). Site cannot be a Preservation Only site to comply with this rule.
3NC Division of Water Resources - Methodology and Calculations for determining Nutrient Reductions associated with Riparian Buffer
Establishment. Credits are calculated differently in the Jordan Lake Watershed. Phosphorus may be calculated separately.
4 Determinations made for this Site are determined based on the proposal provided in maps and figures submitted with the request.
5 All features proposed for buffer mitigation or nutrient offset, must have a planted conservation easement established that includes the
tops of channel banks when being measured perpendicular and landward from the banks, even if no credit is viable within that riparian
area. Easement breaks that disconnect the continuity of riparian restoration/enhancement/preservation result in no credit viable beyond
the break.
6The area of the mitigation site on ephemeral channels shall comprise no more than 25 percent (25%) of the total area of buffer
mitigation per 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(7).
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 shown in Figure 4. The map representing the proposal for the site is
attached to this letter and initialed by Ms. Merritt on September 24, 2021. Substantial changes to the
proposed easement boundary as well as any site constraints identified in this letter, could affect the
Site’s potential to generate buffer mitigation and nutrient offset credits.

This letter does not constitute an approval of this Site to generate buffer and nutrient offset credits.
Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295, a mitigation proposal and a mitigation plan shall be submitted to
DWR for written approval prior to conducting any mitigation activities in riparian areas and/or
surface waters for buffer mitigation credit. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0703, a proposal regarding a
proposed nutrient load-reducing measure for nutrient offset credit shall be submitted to DWR for
approval prior to any mitigation activities in riparian areas and/or surface waters.

All vegetative plantings, performance criteria and other mitigation requirements for riparian
restoration, enhancement and preservation must follow the requirements in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 to
be eligible for buffer and/or nutrient offset mitigation credits. For any areas depicted as not being
viable for nutrient offset credit above, one could propose a different measure, along with supporting
calculations and sufficient detail to support estimates of load reduction, for review by the DWR to
determine viability for nutrient offset in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0703.

This viability assessment will expire on September 24, 2021 or upon approval of a mitigation
plan by the DWR, whichever comes first. This letter should be provided in any nutrient offset,
buffer, stream or wetland mitigation plan for this Site.

The attached initialed and dated sketch accurately depicts all Division stream determinations and
stream origin determinations conducted during the site visit. Please note that the pond adjacent to
stream MN1 on the attached map is not subject to the buffers because it does not have an intermittent
or perennial stream flowing into, or out of it.

This on-site determination shall expire five (5) years from the date of this letter. The owner (or future
owners) should notify the Division (and other relevant agencies) of this decision in any future
correspondences concerning this property. Landowners or affected parties that dispute this
determination made by the Division may request a determination by the Director of Water Resources.
This determination is final and binding, unless an appeal request is made within sixty (60) calendar days
of the date of this letter to the Director in writing.

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.

SEMS: Superfund Enterprise Management System
SEMS (Superfund Enterprise Management System) tracks hazardous waste sites, potentially hazardous waste sites,
and remedial activities performed in support of EPA’s Superfund Program across the United States. The list was
formerly know as CERCLIS, renamed to SEMS by the EPA in 2015. The list contains data on potentially hazardous
waste sites that have been reported to the USEPA by states, municipalities, private companies and private persons,
pursuant to Section 103 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA).
This dataset also contains sites which are either proposed to or on the National Priorities List (NPL) and the
sites which are in the screening and assessment phase for possible inclusion on the NPL.

GOVERNMENT RECORDS SEARCHED / DATA CURRENCY TRACKING
SEMS-ARCHIVE (Superfund Enterprise Management System Archive) tracks sites that have no further interest under
the Federal Superfund Program based on available information. 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.

Brownfields are real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence
or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant. Cleaning up and reinvesting in these
properties takes development pressures off of undeveloped, open land, and both improves and protects the environment.
Assessment, Cleanup and Redevelopment Exchange System (ACRES) stores information reported by EPA Brownfields
grant recipients on brownfields properties assessed or cleaned up with grant funding as well as information on
Targeted Brownfields Assessments performed by EPA Regions. A listing of ACRES Brownfield sites is obtained from

EPA WATCH LIST: EPA WATCH LIST
EPA maintains a "Watch List" to facilitate dialogue between EPA, state and local environmental agencies on enforcement
matters relating to facilities with alleged violations identified as either significant or high priority. Being
on the Watch List does not mean that the facility has actually violated the law only that an investigation by
EPA or a state or local environmental agency has led those organizations to allege that an unproven violation
has in fact occurred. Being on the Watch List does not represent a higher level of concern regarding the alleged
violations that were detected, but instead indicates cases requiring additional dialogue between EPA, state and
local agencies - primarily because of the length of time the alleged violation has gone unaddressed or unresolved.

The EPA has set ambitious goals for the RCRA Corrective Action program by creating the 2020 Corrective Action
Universe. This RCRA cleanup baseline includes facilities expected to need corrective action. The 2020 universe
contains a wide variety of sites. Some properties are heavily contaminated while others were contaminated but
have since been cleaned up. Still others have not been fully investigated yet, and may require little or no remediation.
Inclusion in the 2020 Universe does not necessarily imply failure on the part of a facility to meet its RCRA obligations.

When Congress passed the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, it required EPA to publish regulations and guidance
for chemical accident prevention at facilities using extremely hazardous substances. The Risk Management Program
Rule (RMP Rule) was written to implement Section 112(r) of these amendments. The rule, which built upon existing
industry codes and standards, requires companies of all sizes that use certain flammable and toxic substances
to develop a Risk Management Program, which includes a(n): Hazard assessment that details the potential effects
of an accidental release, an accident history of the last five years, and an evaluation of worst-case and alternative
accidental releases; Prevention program that includes safety precautions and maintenance, monitoring, and employee
training measures; and Emergency response program that spells out emergency health care, employee training measures
and procedures for informing the public and response agencies (e.g the fire department) should an accident occur.

RCRA Administration Action Tracking System. RAATS contains records based on enforcement actions issued under RCRA
pertaining to major violators and includes administrative and civil actions brought by the EPA. For administration
actions after September 30, 1995, data entry in the RAATS database was discontinued. EPA will retain a copy of

EDR HIGH RISK HISTORICAL RECORDS
EDR Exclusive Records
EDR MGP: EDR Proprietary Manufactured Gas Plants
The EDR Proprietary Manufactured Gas Plant Database includes records of coal gas plants (manufactured gas plants)
compiled by EDR’s researchers. 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.

EDR has searched selected national collections of business directories and has collected listings of potential
gas station/filling station/service station sites that were available to EDR researchers. EDR’s review was limited
to those categories of sources that might, in EDR’s opinion, include gas station/filling station/service station
establishments. The categories reviewed included, but were not limited to gas, gas station, gasoline station,
filling station, auto, automobile repair, auto service station, service station, etc. This database falls within
a category of information EDR classifies as "High Risk Historical Records", or HRHR. EDR’s HRHR effort presents
unique and sometimes proprietary data about past sites and operations that typically create environmental concerns,
but may not show up in current government records searches.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) leads the national
Conservation Soil Survey (NCSS) and is responsible for collecting, storing, maintaining and distributing soil
survey information for privately owned lands in the United States. A soil map in a soil survey is a representation
of soil patterns in a landscape. Soil maps for STATSGO are compiled by generalizing more detailed (SSURGO)
soil survey maps.

SSURGO is the most detailed level of mapping done by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, mapping
scales generally range from 1:12,000 to 1:63,360. Field mapping methods using national standards are used to
construct the soil maps in the Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) database. SSURGO digitizing duplicates the
original soil survey maps. This level of mapping is designed for use by landowners, townships and county
natural resource planning and management.
