Soil testing was proposed to be completed in the mitigation plan, was that done? Were any soil amendments made? Please include any action/inaction in the narrative. Soil amendments were deemed unnecessary for the site due to the site already having soil fertile for tree growth. This narrative is now included in section 3.1. 2. As noted in the field a deer stand was left in the easement due to nesting owls. Please include DWR's approval to leave the deer stand in the easement within the narrative. Also, include it on the CCPV and as -built survey. Language regarding the deer stand is now included in section 3.2. It can also be found on the CCPV and in the as - built survey. 3. Update the Stem Count Total and Planted by Plot Species Table with the correct survey date of 3/16/2023. The Stem Count Total and Planted by Plot Species Table was updated with the correct survey date of March 16tn 2023. 4. There appear to be disparities between the asset table and the square feet of buffer generated in the attribute table with the digital data. Ex: Restoration 101-200 for Carraway Creek & BH1 (1998 cleared) asset table says 34,764 sqft, and the attribute table has 34,080 sqft. Please review the calculated square feet in the shapefile and revise the shapefile or asset table as necessary. The disparities between the buffer shapefile and the asset table have been resolved and they now match. These disparities were due to some issues with exporting from Civil to SHP. A small update was made to the Plat and the new Plat is included. The new shapefile that matches the Plat is included in the digital files. Please find enclosed the revised final As -Built submission with changes as noted above. Do not hesitate to reach out with any question or comments.

The Carraway Bluff Project is within the Neuse River Basin within the 8-digit HUC 03020201, 03020201170060 and DWR Sub -basin Number 03-04-12. The Project easement is located in Wayne County in Goldsboro, NC and can be accessed off of Highway 117 approximately five miles south of downtown Goldsboro (Figure 1). The coordinates are 35.3280007,-78.010718. This buffer project provides riparian buffer mitigation credits for unavoidable impacts due to development within the Neuse River Basin, United States Geological Survey (USGS) 8-digit Cataloguing Unit 03020201 (Neuse 01), excluding Falls Lake Watershed (Figure 1). This Buffer Mitigation Plan is in accordance with the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 and Nutrient Offset Credit Trading Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0703. The Carraway Bluff Project consists of a contiguous conservation easement that totals approximately 25.39 acres and includes the Neuse River, five stream features (Carraway Creek, BH1, BH2, BH3, and BH4) and one ditch feature (D4). Carraway Creek is a USGS-named stream that drains directly to the Neuse River onsite. Pre-existing land use within the Project was crop production and riparian forest. Water quality stressors previously affecting the Project included heavily manipulated/relocated and maintained stream channels, nutrient loadings from active crop production, and lack of forested riparian buffers. The Carraway Bluff Project is comprised of two perennial stream channels; the Neuse River, and Carraway Creek; four intermittent stream channels; BH1, BH2, BH3 and BH4 and one ditch feature; D4. Carraway Creek is a named tributary of the Neuse River with a partially intact riparian buffer, while its tributaries, BH1, BH2, BH3 and BH4 are modified natural stream channels that lack any riparian buffer. Furthermore, the fifty -foot riparian buffers of BH1 and BH2 were determined to be subject to the Neuse buffer protection rules ("Subject"); the fifty -foot riparian buffers of BH3 and BH4 were determined to be not subject to the Neuse buffer protection rules ("Non -subject"). This Project was also codeveloped with a buffer mitigation and nutrient offset bank that extends riparian buffer areas associated with this Project's streams as well as incorporate additional stream features on the property. The goal of the Project is to restore and preserve ecological function to the existing streams and their associated riparian buffer areas by establishing appropriate plant communities while minimizing temporal and land disturbing impacts. This is being accomplished through the planting, establishment, and protection of a hardwood forest community. The result will be a riparian area that functions to mitigate nutrient and sediment inputs from the surrounding uplands. Buffer and surrounding riparian area improvements will filter runoff from agricultural fields, thereby reducing nutrient and sediment loads to Project channels and provide water quality benefit to the overall watershed. The Project will provide significant functional uplift to the watershed and will assist DMS with achieving its mitigation goals in the Neuse 01 watershed, excluding the Falls Lake Watershed. 2 Regulatory Considerations 2.1 Determination of Credits This Project has the potential to generate up to 641,711.542 fe riparian buffer mitigation credits within a 25.39-acre conservation easement. These will be derived from buffer restoration and buffer preservation. The riparian buffer mitigation credits generated will service the Neuse 01 watershed, excluding the Falls Lake Watershed. The total potential buffer mitigation credits that the Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project 1 Baseline Monitoring Report DMS Project #100186 July 2023 will generate are detailed in Table 1, Appendix A. Where viable, buffer mitigation credits can be converted to nutrient offset credit in accordance with the Nutrient Offset Credit Trading Rule, 15A NCAC 02B .0703. 2.2 Asset Map See Figure 2, Appendix A. 3 Baseline 3.1 Planting The initial planting of bare root trees occurred on March 15r'', 2023. All riparian restoration areas are planted from top of bank back at least 50 feet from streams with bare root tree seedlings on a nine by six-foot spacing to achieve an initial density of approximately 800 trees per acre. In addition, these areas were 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 contains both temporary and permanent seed and includes taproot species. The seed was sown utilizing broadcast seeding. Soil amendments were not done throughout the site due to the site already having fertile soil suitable for herbaceous and tree growth. Additionally, the site was ripped to encourage tree growth. Planting occurred in all areas proposed for riparian buffer restoration and meets the performance standards outlined in Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295. This includes treating invasive species and planting of at least four species of native hardwood bare root trees. Mixed-Mesic Hardwood Forest (Coastal Plain subtype) (Schafale 2012) is the target community type and was used for all areas within the Project. This community composition is highly diverse and is suitable given the Project's soil and landscape characteristics and will provide water quality and ecological benefits. The list of planted bare root tree species and their percentage of total species composition can be found in Appendix B. Wherever possible, mature vegetation has been preserved and incorporated into the buffer. 3.2 Other Activities Other activities involved with the Project included bank stabilization efforts, including grading, matting, and live staking where culverts were removed. It was determined that the most stable approach for the crossing outside the easement at BH2 was a culvert instead of the timber mat bridge. Seeding and livestaking occurred in the locations where the existing culverts are removed. All culvert removal activities were discussed with the USACE and NCDWR to confirm no buffer authorization nor nationwide permit was required for these construction activities as they were activities were exempt or deemed allowable and additionally where well under the threshold for Notification. A deer stand was left inside Carraway Bluff Phase II easement with approval of NCDWR due to nesting owls residing inside. Construction activities are called out in Figure 3. 4 Annual Monitoring 4.1 Methods Annual vegetation monitoring and visual assessments will be conducted. Monitoring plots were installed a minimum of 100 meters squared in size and cover at least two percent of the planted mitigation area. These plots were randomly placed throughout the planted riparian buffer mitigation area (16.25 acres) and are representative of the riparian restoration conditions. The following data is recorded for all trees in the plots: species, height, planting date (or volunteer), and grid location. All stems in plots are flagged with flagging Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project 2 Baseline Monitoring Report DMS Project #100186 July 2023 tape. Data is processed using the "Vegetation Table Shiny Tool" made available by DMS in December 2021 and is reported in accordance with the most recent DMS requirements and templates. In the field, the four corners of each plot were permanently marked with PVC at the origin and metal conduit at the other corners. There are 14 fixed vegetation monitoring plots (Figure 3). These plots were planted and monitored in conjunction with plots 15-41 of the Carraway Bluff Phase II project site. Photos are to be taken at all vegetation plot origins each monitoring year and be provided in the annual reports. Visual inspections and photos will be taken to ensure that areas are being maintained and compliant. The measures of vegetative success for the Project are 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 stems per acre at the end of Year 5. Native volunteer species may be included to meet the performance standards as determined by NC Division of Water Resources (DWR). A visual assessment of the conservation easement is also performed each year to confirm: • Easement boundary markers/signage are in good condition throughout the site; • No encroachment has occurred; • No invasive species in areas where invasive species were treated; • Diffuse flow is being maintained in the conservation easement areas; and • There has not been any cutting, clearing, filling, grading, or similar activities that would negatively affect the functioning of the buffer. Component/ Monitoring Maintenance through project close-out Feature Vegetation Annual Vegetation shall be maintained to ensure the health and vigor of the targeted plant vegetation community. Routine vegetation maintenance and repair activities may include monitoring supplemental planting, pruning, mulching, and fertilizing. Exotic invasive plant species shall be treated by mechanical and/or chemical methods. Any vegetation requiring herbicide application will be performed in accordance with NC Department of Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations. Vegetation maintenance activities will be documented and reported in annual monitoring reports. Vegetation maintenance will continue through the monitoring period. Invasive and Nuisance Visual Invasive and noxious species will be monitored and treated so that none become Vegetation Assessment dominant or alter the desired community structure of the Project. Locations of invasive and nuisance vegetation will be mapped. Project Boundary Visual Project boundaries shall be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between the Assessment mitigation project and adjacent properties. Boundaries are marked with signs identifying the property as a mitigation project and will include the name of the long-term steward and a contact number. Boundaries may be identified by fence, marker, bollard, post, tree - blazing, or other means as allowed by Project conditions and/or conservation easement. Boundary markers disturbed, damaged, or destroyed will be repaired and/or replaced on an as -needed basis. Easement monitoring and staking/signage maintenance will continue in perpetuity as a stewardship activity. 4.2 Vegetation Assessment Tables See Appendix B. 4.3 Results and Discussion Establishment and monitoring of 14 fixed vegetation plots was completed on March 16r' and 21', 2023. Vegetation tables are in Appendix B and associated photos are in Appendix C. MYO monitoring data indicates that all plots are exceeding the interim performance of 260 planted stems per acre. Planted stem densities ranged from 567 to 931 planted stems per acre with a mean of 772 planted stems per acre across Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project 3 Baseline Monitoring Report DMS Project #100186 July 2023 all plots. A total of 10 species were documented within the plots. Volunteer species were not noted at baseline monitoring but are expected to establish in upcoming years. The average tree height observed was 1.3 feet. Visual assessment of vegetation outside of the monitoring plots indicates that the herbaceous vegetation is becoming well established throughout the project. Some invasives have been observed and treated as necessary. Easement boundary markers and signs are clearly visible and in good condition. Additionally, there were no signs of encroachment or undocumented concentrated flow in the easement area. 4.4 Maintenance and Management Supplemental planting along the top of bank of BH1 and BH2 was completed on May 30r' and June 22na To maintain diffuse flow throughout the conservation easement two engineered sediment packs were installed on the erosional features on BH2, and Carraway Creek. Coir mat logs and additional planting will also be implemented around the erosional features to promote diffuse flow. The engineered sediment packs were completed on June 15r' and 23`a. Associated photos are included in Appendix C. Project boundary will continue to be monitored for encroachment and conservation easement markings will be replaced if damaged. Invasive and noxious species will be monitored and treated so that none become dominant or alter the desired community structure of the Project. 5 References NC Environmental Management Commission. 2014.

Species included in summation above should be identified in report summary. Encroachment may be point, line, or polygon. Encroachment to be mapped consists of any violation of restrictions specified in the conservation easement. Common encroachments are mowing, cattle access, Easement Encroachment Areas none #Encroachments noted vehicular access. Encroachment has no threshold value as will need to be addressed regardless of impact area.
