The Bank is currently in development with the Hatch's Hill mitigation site in Wayne County (SAW-2021-01309; NCDWR # 20211424v1). Wildlands Holdings X, LLC is managed by Wildlands Engineering, Inc. (Wildlands) and developed for the sole purpose of holding mitigation banks. This prospectus is for the second site to be developed under the Wildlands Upper Neuse Umbrella Mitigation Bank, which will include restoration of streams and wetlands along Camp Creek and its unnamed tributaries (Figure 1). The purpose of the Bank is to provide stream and wetland mitigation credits to compensate for impacts to Waters of the United States and/or State Waters within the service area, Hydrologic Unit 03020201 (Neuse 01), as depicted in Figure 2. The resulting conservation easement is estimated to be 24.7 acres. 1.0 Mitigation Bank Introduction and Objectives 1.1 Introduction The Site being established under the proposed Bank is located on an active agricultural farm that includes bordering woodlands. In addition to Camp Creek, the Site contains four unnamed tributaries to Camp Creek that, for the purpose of this project, are referred to as Copley Branch, Ellis Branch, TLC Branch, and T1. The Site is located in the DWR Subbasin 03-04-01. All project streams flow to Camp Creek, which is classified as a Water Supply II Water (WS-II), a High Quality Water (HOW), and a Nutrient Sensitive Water (NSW). A review of historic aerials from 1937 to 2020 shows the Site streams have existed in their approximate locations over time. Even the forested areas are virtually the same. The one exception is the area south of Camp Creek between Range and Bahama Roads. Between 1955 and 1972, this area was cleared and Ellis Branch was moved from the middle of the area to run along Bahama Road. Within the project area, the streams are mostly eroding and incised. Wetlands have been degraded due to historic channelization and channel incision. The wetlands on the site have been hydrologically disconnected from the stream channels. The Sponsor proposes to restore 2,900 linear feet (LF), enhance 1,020 LF, and preserve 760 LF of the site streams. The Sponsor proposes to re-establish 9.187 wetland acres, enhance 3.499 wetland acres, and preserve 0.134 wetland acres. This stream and wetland mitigation will include a conservation easement area that is estimated to total 24.7 acres. 1.2 Bank Location The proposed Bank (36.226290' N, 78.828518° W) is in northeastern Durham County approximately eight miles northwest of Butner, NC (Figure 1, Figure 2). The site is located within the Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 0300201040010 and DWR Subbasin 03-04-01. The project site drains to Knap of Reeds Creek which drains first to Lake Butner and then to Falls Lake. To get to the Site from Raleigh, NC take 1-40 West to 1-885 North and 1-85 North. From 1-85, take the Red Mill Road exit. Go left on Red Mill Road and continue to end. Go right on Old Oxford Road and travel 2.6 miles before turning left on Cassam Road. At the end of Cassam Road turn left on Range Road and go 4 miles. Camp Creek flows beneath Range Road just south of Isham Chambers Road. 1.3 Goals and Objectives The proposed Bank described above will provide numerous ecological benefits within the Neuse River Basin. Project benefits include site specific improvements and watershed scale benefits. �. Widllands Upper Neuse Umbrella Mitigation Bank W Camp Creek Mitigation Site Draft Prospectus Page 1 The project goals and related objectives are described in Table 1. Project goals are desired project outcomes and objectives are activities that will result in the accomplishment of goals. The project will be monitored after construction to demonstrate success. A detailed monitoring program will be described in the forthcoming mitigation plan. Table 1.

Once the final mitigation plan is approved and the accompanying instrument executed by members of the Interagency Review Team (IRT), the Sponsor will record a conservation easement on the Bank. 2.2 Landowner Information Table 2 lists the landowner name, parcel identification number(s), deed reference, and address associated with the parcel on the site. Table 2. Landowner Information Landowner Parcel ID Number Deed Reference Address Steve and Deborah Copley 950-01-34-8432 Estate File Number 1996 E/000135 6704 Bahama Rd., 950-11-10-3503 Rougemont NC 27572 2.3 Proposed Service Area The Bank will be established to mitigate impacts to Waters of the United States and/or State Waters within the service area depicted in Figure 1. This service area includes the Neuse (Hydrologic Unit 03020201) and the City of Raleigh, Falls Lake, Wake Forest, Hillsborough, Creedmoor, Rolesville, Garner, Knightdale, Cary, Clayton, Smithfield, and portions of Durham, Morrisville, Holly Springs, and Fuquay- Varina. 2.4 Need and Feasibility of Mitigation Bank 2.4.1 Need RaSinwidP The Neuse 01 River Basin, as described in the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) 2009 Neuse River Basinwide Water Quality Plan (RBWQP), is undergoing rapid population growth. Wake County is the most populous county in the state as of 2020, growing by 25.4% between 2010 and 2020 (ncdemography.org). Johnston County grew by 27.9%, and Durham by 21.4% in that same time period. Wake, Johnston, and Durham Counties are expected to grow by 18.4%, 25%, and 13.9% respectively (NC Office of State Budget and Management, 2020). This increase in population increases developmental pressures, change in land use, and the need for expanded infrastructure (roads, utilities, etc.) all of which create the necessity for impacts to Waters of the United States to be mitigated for appropriately and allow the economic growth of this region to continue while the environment and water quality remain a priority. The Sponsor expects Bank customers will include private enterprises and public entities with North Carolina Division of Transportation (NCDOT) as the primary client. Figure 3 depicts the potential projects set forth by NCDOT for fiscal years 2015-2025 within the Neuse 01 watershed. This includes transportation projects along several state, regional, and transition highways. Sources: w.

The Site includes Camp Creek. Camp Creek flows into Lake Butner, which flows to Knap of Reeds Creek then Falls Lake and eventually the Neuse River. This Site is two miles north of an existing DMS full delivery project, Dry Creek, that was initiated in 2015. The site is also in close proximity to the Camp Butner National Guard Training Center, which is a sizeable protected area that is considered by the NC Natural Heritage Program to be a Managed Area. The 2009 Neuse River Basinwide Water Quality Plan lists major stressors in Subbasin 03-04-01 to be total suspended solids (TSS), nutrients, and chlorophyll a. The 2010 (amended 201Neuse River Basin Restoration Priorities (RBRP) highlights the importance of riparian buffers for stream restoration projects. Riparian buffers retain and remove nutrients and suspended sediments. The RBRP states that "priority [restoration] projects should increase or improve buffers." Another goal of the RBRP for the Neuse 01 HU is to support the Falls Lake watershed plan. The Falls Lake water supply is downstream of the Site and is classified as water supply waters (WS-IV) and nutrient sensitive waters (NSW). The RBRP also states that a goal for the Neuse 01 CU is to, "...promote nutrient and sediment reduction in agricultural areas by restoring and preserving wetlands, streams, and riparian buffers." The Neuse River basin is also discussed in the 2005 North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission's (NCWRC) Wildlife Action Plan (WAP). In the report, non -point source pollution including nutrient loading and erosion from stream channelization for agriculture attributed to degraded aquatic habitats in the basin. Additionally, fertilizers and livestock contribute 60 percent of the nitrate and phosphate found in the Neuse River basin according to the report. This report notes the importance of stream restoration and land protection efforts in the watershed to address the observed stressors. The Camp Creek Mitigation Site is beneficial because of its location within the targeted local watershed and its potential to address the goals of the Basinwide Water Quality Plan, the RBRP, and the WAP through stream and buffer restoration, enhancement, and preservation. The proposed treatments of streams on the Site will directly and indirectly address stressors identified in the planning documents by creating stable stream banks, restoring meandering pattern, and restoring, enhancing, and preserving forested riparian buffers. The project will slow surface runoff, increase retention times, provide shade to streams, and reconnect the streams to their historic floodplains and riparian wetlands, which will reduce sediment and nutrient loads which contribute to eutrophication of downstream waters. In addition, restoration will provide and improve instream and terrestrial (riparian) habitats while improving stream stability and overall hydrology. The watershed for Camp Creek is comprised of agriculture/pasture, forestland, and developed land (42%, 51%, and 7% respectively). The Copley Branch drainage area consists of agriculture/pasture, forestland, and developed land (80%, 15%, and 5% respectively). 2.4.2 Feasibility A Radius Map Report was ordered for the Bank through Environmental Data Resources, Inc. (EDR) and obtained on May 25, 2023. The target property was not listed in any of the Federal, State, or Tribal environmental databases searched by EDR. However, Camp Butner, a historic and active Department of �. Widllands Upper Neuse Umbrella Mitigation Bank W Camp Creek Mitigation Site Draft Prospectus Page 4 Defense site is located 0.25 miles south of the target property. Wildlands will contact the Department of Defense to determine what steps should be taken before any land clearing activities or grading are conducted. A summary of the EDR report is included in the appendix. The Bank is located in a rural watershed where the dominant land uses are agriculture, forest, and residential. The site is located near Butner which could develop in the future as Durham County grows. Future changes in land use might alter the watershed but it is likely that low density residential use would result in minimal site hydrology changes. Based on the preliminary existing conditions assessments performed at the Bank in 2023, Wildlands is confident that the site has substantial potential for the development of a viable mitigation bank. The project will provide substantial uplift to the Falls Lake watershed and the Neuse River Basin. 3.0 Ecological Suitability of Site 3.1 Bank Site Characterization The Bank Site is currently maintained for agricultural with sparsely wooded buffers along the project streams. In the case of Camp Creek downstream of Range Road and Copley Branch, one side of the channels has a mature forested buffer. The majority of the Site is farmed in row crop agriculture. The existing conditions of Bank streams are described in Section 3.1.1, existing wetlands are described in Section 3.1.2, and existing vegetation is described in Section 3.1.3. The appendix contains stream determination forms and stream geomorphic data. Figure 4 is a topographic map of the site, Figure 5 illustrates the existing Site conditions, and Figure 6 is a map of the project stream watersheds. 3.1.1 Existing Conditions - Streams Camp Creek Camp Creek flows from west to east through the Site. Reach 1 begins at Bahama Road and ends at a relic beaver dam at Range Road. The channel banks are steep but mostly stable above the water line. Below the water level, which is backwatered from the dam, the banks are bare. The stream is slightly disconnected from its floodplain. The riparian buffer is limited to 5-10 feet in width and has a high proportion of river birch (Betula nigra). Reach 2 begins at Range Road as the bed elevation drops more than 4 feet from the top of the relic beaver dam to the existing bed. The stream is deeply incised through the remainder of the Site (BHR=5.0). The banks are consistently eroding and the bedform is mostly uniform. The substrate is primarily sand. However, the riparian buffer is very wide on the right side and at least 30 feet on the left side. The reach has been historically channelized. Flli-; Rmnrh Ellis Branch is a short intermittent reach that flows along Bahama Road and enters Camp Creek just downstream from Bahama Road. While this reach is not incised, it has been artificially located to the road fill slope immediately adjacent to the Bahama Road right-of-way. There is essentially no riparian buffer on Ellis Branch, with the road right-of-way beyond the left bank and an agricultural field on the right bank. �. Widllands Upper Neuse Umbrella Mitigation Bank W Camp Creek Mitigation Site Draft Prospectus Page 5 Just upstream from the Site, Ellis Branch is a stable, forested stream with very different characteristics. According to aerial photographs, the channel was moved to its current location between 1955 and 1972. Copley Branch Copley Branch is a perennial reach that enters the Site at Isham Chambers Road and has been channelized to its confluence with Camp Creek. The upper reach is only slightly incised but the degree of incision generally increases in the downstream direction. Incision is reduced in two locations where the farmer has attempted to hold grade. Bank erosion is correlated with the degree of incision. Bedform diversity is limited to very shallow pools. Gravel substrate is common with large amounts of sand and lesser cobble. In some locations the farmer has added cobble and sheet plastic to the bed in an apparent effort to stem headcut migration. The riparian buffer on the right bank ranges from 0 to 10 feet, while on the left bank it extends for more than 50 feet to the property line. T1 T1 becomes an intermittent stream just below a utility easement. Its floodplain has been manipulated such that subtle berms are present along the channel. The berms prevent field runoff from flowing into the channel. It also becomes incised as it approaches and enters Camp Creek. 3.1.2 Existing Wetlands The project area east of Range Road includes approximately 3.6 acres of existing wetland in the floodplains of Camp Creek and Copley Branch. Existing wetland areas with persistent wetland hydrology in the floodplain of Camp Creek, while influenced to an extent by groundwater, are also driven by overland runoff from upslope impervious surfaces, agricultural fields, and hillslopes with moderate to steep grades. Existing wetland areas in the valley of Copley Branch have persistent wetland hydrology related to a high groundwater table and are found in the natural topographic valley bottom where the stream is suspected to have once flowed. A natural upland levee is present along both banks of Camp Creek and manmade upland berms are present on both banks of Copley Branch where it has been excavated and modified. Vegetation communities vary in these wetlands with areas dominated by bottomland hardwood forest, dense shrub/sapling strata, or invasive species. As a whole, prevalent invasive vegetation is the primary impairment to existing wetlands (Figure 5). Wetland areas that occur in the western project area are small linear features resulting from historic site manipulation (Figure 5). An additional 10.4 acres of the project area east of Range Road contains hydric soil or buried hydric soil, but lacks contemporary wetland hydrology. Wetland hydrology of these areas has been removed by subsurface drainage to channelized streams and placement of spoil material on hydric soils. The spoil originated from channel excavation along Copley Branch and earthwork upslope of the valleys. Watershed characteristics, flashy hydrology, and limited floodplain access have resulted in excessive sedimentation and formation of a natural upland levee along Camp Creek east of Range Road. Buried floodplain soils were observed in several locations within the project area, suggesting the presence of former wetlands. 3.1.3 Existing Vegetation The condition of the riparian buffer along project streams varies throughout the site. Riparian buffers are largely absent along Ellis Branch and T1 and consist of seasonal row crops with some black willow (Salixnigra), sweetgum (Liquidambarstyraciflua), river birch (Betula nigra), and red maple (Acer �. Widllands Upper Neuse Umbrella Mitigation Bank W Camp Creek Mitigation Site Draft Prospectus Page 6 rubrum). Problematic native vegetation such as Carolina rose (Rosa caroliniana) and broadleaf cattail (Typha latifolia), and exotic non-native vegetation such as Japanese stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum), Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), and Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), were also noted. The riparian buffer along Camp Creek west of Range Road is sparse with few canopy trees and saplings consisting of river birch, black willow, sweetgum, and red maple. The riparian buffer on the west bank of Copley Branch and the north bank of Camp Creek to the east of Range Road adjoin an agricultural field and have similar vegetative communities. Row crops and native species such as red maple, sweetgum, box elder (Acer negundo), river birch, slippery elm (Ulmus rubra), and American elm (Ulmus americana) were noted in the canopy and understory. However, the riparian buffers were largely dominated by common greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia), honeysuckle, blackberry (Rubus pensilvanicus), and Japanese stiltgrass due to disturbance and proximity to the fields. The riparian buffer along the eastern bank of Copley Branch and southern bank of Camp Creek consisted of bottomland hardwood forest comprised mostly of native species including white oak (Quercus alba), sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), slippery and American elm, musclewood (Carpinus caroliniana), green ash (Fraxinus pensylvannica), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), spicebush (Lindera benzoin), and box elder in the canopy and understory. Chinese privet was dominant in the understory in the riparian buffers of Camp Creek and Copley Branch. 3.1.4 Soils The floodplain areas of the proposed project are mapped by the Durham County Soil Survey as primarily Chewacla soils (Figure 7). This complex transitions from a loam to a silty clay loam and then a clay loam at depth. An unconsolidated bedrock layer may be found at 80 inches or deeper. This series often contains inclusions of Wehadkee, which were identified during soil mapping exercises. Wehadkee are listed on the National Hydric Soil list. Much of the soils along Copley Branch are mapped as Helena Sandy Loam but are actually more similar to the Chewacla series. Table 3. Project Soil Type and Description Soil Name Description Chewacla and Wehadkee Soils Generally found on floodplains. Somewhat poorly drained with bedrock layer more than 80 inches deep. Helena Sandy Loam Moderately well drained soil generally found on hillslopes. Iredell Loam Moderately well drained soil generally found on interfluves. Weathered bedrock at 72-80 inches. Appling Sandy Loam Well drained, found on summits and interfluves.

The archaeological site files at the North Carolina Office of State Archaeology (OSA) have not been reviewed at this time. All appropriate cultural resource agencies will be contacted for their review and comment prior to any land disturbing activity. Several registered Natural Heritage and Managed Areas located within one mile include the Camp Butner National Guard Training Center, three Triangle Land Conservancy Preserves, a NC Land and Water Fund Conservation Agreement and Project area, and two Durham County Easements. w. Widllands Upper Neuse Umbrella Mitigation Bank Camp Creek Mitigation Site Draft Prospectus Page 7 3.3 Threatened and Endangered Species Wildlands searched the USFWS and North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NHP) databases to identify federally listed threatened and endangered plant and animal species for Durham County, NC. Table 4 details the current list of threatened and endangered species for Durham County. A cursory pedestrian survey conducted on May 24, 2023 indicated that the project area does provide suitable habitat for all species listed. Wildlands will conduct a full review for protected species in the mitigation planning phase and will coordinate with USFWS and NCWRC as necessary based on that review. Table 4.

Habitat information from the following website: https://ecos.fws.gov/ecp/report/species-listings-by-current-range- county?fips=37037 3.4 Floodplain Compliance The Site is represented on the Durham County Flood Map 3720094000M. Camp Creek and Site tributaries are mapped in a Zone AE Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) on Durham County Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) Panel 0904. A limited detailed study has been performed on Camp Creek with base flood elevations defined and delineated floodplain. The remaining tributaries do not have detailed hydraulic studies performed, but the downstream portions of said reaches fall within the Camp Creek SFHA. Effective hydraulic modeling for Camp Creek will be obtained from the NC Floodplain Mapping Program. A no -rise condition will be pursued if compatible with stream restoration and floodplain enhancement grading. If a no -rise condition is not attainable, then a CLOMR will be prepared. Wildlands' engineers have successfully navigated the CLOMR process for several similar mitigation project sites. The project will be designed to avoid adverse floodplain impacts or hydrologic trespass on adjacent properties or local roads. 3.5 Site Constraints and Access No crossings are required on the Site property. However, an external crossing is required for the NCDOT right-of-way for Range Road. The stream beneath the Range Road bridge will be designed to allow for aquatic organism passage. Crossings are summarized and numbered below in Table 5 and on Figure 8. �. Widllands Upper Neuse Umbrella Mitigation Bank W Camp Creek Mitigation Site Draft Prospectus Page 8 Table 5. Proposed Easement Crossings No. Width (ft) Location Internal or Crossing Type Purpose External 1 60 Camp Creek — Reach 2 External Existing Bridge NCDOT Right -of -Way The easement boundaries around streams proposed for mitigation credit provide the required 50-foot minimum riparian buffer for Piedmont streams. The entire easement area can be accessed for construction, monitoring, and long-term stewardship from Isham Chambers and Range Roads. No airports are located within 5 miles of the Site. 4.0 Mitigation Work Plan Wildlands will begin the project by identifying the best design approach to meet the stated project objectives and implement the appropriate degree of intervention. A combination of analog, empirical, and analytical design approaches will potentially be used. All project resources will be designed to create stable, functional stream channels and riparian wetlands. 4.1 Stream Restoration All project reaches are proposed for restoration with the exception of T1, Camp Creek Reach 1, TLC Branch, and Copley Creek Reach 1. The restoration reaches will be designed and built with appropriate dimension, pattern, and profile to allow for frequent overbank flooding, provide stable bank slopes, enable biological lift, and reconnect streams with existing floodplains. Reference streams will be identified and will serve as one of the primary sources of information on which restoration designs are based. Wildlands has developed a general approach to be used as the basis for stream restoration design. The design approach, which is tailored to each site, continues to develop as additional projects are implemented. All reaches proposed for restoration will be designed with a Priority 1 approach, raising channel beds to reconnect them with existing floodplains. Priority 2 restoration will be required on the downstream end of Camp Creek and Copley Branch to stably connect with existing grades. The Priority 2 length will be minimized. Ellis Branch will be relocated to its historic alignment prior to 1972. Stream structures will be installed to promote water quality, stabilize the bed and banks, provide bedform diversity, and increase aquatic and terrestrial habitat. Wildlands plans to evaluate stream substrate and determine appropriate gradations/bed features for the Site streams. At this stage, Wildlands believes most of these channels will be built using a threshold channel approach with a cobble -gravel substrate. Wildlands believes based on other work in this area that appropriate substrate will be able to be harvested on -site. 4.2 Stream Enhancement I T1 Reach 1 is slated for an Enhancement I approach. The channel has berms running along it so that runoff from the adjacent fields cannot laterally enter the channel. The lower end is also incised. The profile will be addressed by removing the berms and adding constructed riffles to stably drop grade to the tie in with Camp Creek. Additionally, riparian buffer will be planted on both sides of the channel out to the rights -of -way for Range and Bahama Roads. �. Widllands Upper Neuse Umbrella Mitigation Bank W Camp Creek Mitigation Site Draft Prospectus Page 9 4.3 Stream Enhancement II Camp Creek Reach 2 and Copley Branch Reach 1 are slated for an Enhancement II approach. In general, these reaches are geomorphically stable in their current conditions and have lower bank height ratios, low bank slopes, and a lesser degree of bank erosion than reaches slated for restoration. Camp Creek Reach 1 will be targeted for riparian buffer planting. Copley Branch Reach 1 will have buffer planting on the right bank, as well as spot stabilization of eroding streambank. Ell is proposed at a ratio of 4:1 for Camp Creek and 5:1 for Copley Branch. Although the density of invasive species in these two reaches is low, they will be treated. 4.4 Stream Preservation TLC Branch is located in a wooded area of the Camp Creek floodplain. It is targeted for stream preservation at a 10:1 ratio. There is a short segment where it leaves the project property and where no stream credit is proposed. 4.5 Wetlands Two activities will be used to improve wetland hydrology to justify wetland re-establishment in the areas identified in Figure 8. First, and likely most relevant, the restoration of incised streams using Priority 1 techniques will serve to effectively change the subsurface flow gradient and discharge characteristics of the groundwater table to the receiving stream, rehydrating wetlands adjacent to the channel. Tree planting and invasive species treatment will also occur in these areas to establish a healthy riparian wetland buffer. In areas that currently qualify as jurisdictional wetlands that are located adjacent to streams that are not incised, wetland enhancement activities will occur. This will primarily include planting and invasive species treatment. Wetland enhancement areas will also benefit from Priority 1 restoration techniques that will raise the groundwater table and re-establish a more traditional wetland hydrology regime for bottomland hardwood forests that is equally influenced by groundwater, flood flows, and overland flow. The Site includes areas of wetland re-establishment and enhancement. Because some of the wetland enhancement areas are located in forested areas, the overall credit ratio is proposed at 3:1. Additionally, preservation of reference -quality jurisdictional wetlands is proposed at 10:1. 4.6 Vegetation Plan Native riparian buffers will be planted along restored and enhanced stream reaches, in all proposed wetland restoration zones, and in all riparian restoration areas. The ecological uplift can be summarized as transforming an agriculturally impacted area to a protected riparian corridor. Buffer restoration will involve planting appropriate native tree species along the riparian corridor. Herbaceous riparian vegetation will also be planted, but additional herbaceous plants are expected to re-establish naturally and through the placement of a native seed mix in disturbed areas. Live stake shrub species will be planted along restored streams. Vegetation management and herbicide applications will be needed over the first few years of tree establishment in the riparian buffer restoration areas to prevent encroachment of invasive species. Portions of the site that have been maintained as cleared �. Widllands Upper Neuse Umbrella Mitigation Bank W Camp Creek Mitigation Site Draft Prospectus Page 10 agricultural fields will require little site preparation other than select herbicide treatments or limited mechanical clearing to remove undesirable underbrush prior to planting. The planting plan will be based on an appropriate nearby reference community and past project experience. The plan will be developed to restore appropriate strata (canopy, understory, shrub, and herbaceous layers). Vegetation planted in restored wetland areas will be based on species identified within appropriate reference locations and professional experience based on site conditions. Areas with an existing wooded riparian corridor will be treated for invasive species. The Site will be protected in perpetuity under a conservation easement and will be marked per IRT guidelines. 5.0 Determination of Mitigation Credits The mitigation stream and wetland credit calculations were derived using the US Army Corps of Engineers' Stream Mitigation Guidance and was based on Wildlands' conceptual design for maximum ecological uplift. Given the existing conditions of the stream channels, wetlands, the disturbance factors, and the constraints, management objectives for each reach have been established. The Site will be a combination of stream restoration and enhancement level II activities. Stream restoration is proposed at a ratio of 1:1 and enhancement level II is proposed at ratios of 2.5:1 or 3:1 as listed below. In general, if enhancement level II areas are located within wooded areas with minimal opportunity for vegetative uplift but cattle have access and limited stream work is required, the 3:1 ratio is proposed. Stream preservation is proposed at a 10:1 ratio. The management objective, the mitigation type, and proposed amount of mitigation is presented in the below in Table 6. �.

Under no circumstances shall the Bank be debited until the necessary Department of Army (DA) authorization has been received for its construction or the District Engineer (DE) has otherwise provided �. Widllands Upper Neuse Umbrella Mitigation Bank W Camp Creek Mitigation Site Draft Prospectus Page 12 written approval for the project in the case where no DA authorization is required for construction of the mitigation project. The DE, in consultation with the IRT, will determine if performance standards have been satisfied sufficiently to meet the requirements of the release schedules below. In cases where some performance standards have not been met, credits may still be released depending on the specifics of the case. Monitoring may be required to restart or be extended, depending on the extent to which the site fails to meet the specified performance standard. The release of project credits will follow the Monitoring Requirements and Performance Standards for Compensatory Mitigation in North Carolina, dated February 9, 2013. The proposed credit release schedule is shown in Tables 8 and 9. Table 8.

The initial allocation can be released without prior written approval of the DE upon satisfactory completion of the following activities: a. Execution of the UMBI by the Sponsor and the USACE. b. Approval of the final mitigation plan. c. Recordation of the conservation easement and delivery of a title opinion acceptable to the USACE. d. Delivery of the financial assurances described in the mitigation plan. e. 404 permit verification for construction of the site, if required. 5.3 Subsequent Credit Releases All subsequent credit releases must be approved by the DE, in consultation with the IRT, based on a determination that required performance standards have been achieved. For stream projects, a reserve of 10% of a site's total stream credits shall be released after four bankfull events have occurred in separate years, provided the channel is stable and all other performance standards are met. In the event that less than four bankfull events occur during the monitoring period, release of these reserve credits shall be at the discretion of the IRT. As the bank approaches milestones associated with the credit release, Wildlands will submit a request for credit release to the DE along with documentation substantiating achievement of criteria required for release to occur. This documentation will be included with the annual monitoring report. 6.0 Performance Standards and Monitoring Plan The performance criteria for the Site will follow approved performance criteria presented in the October 2016 IRT Mitigation Monitoring Guidance. Annual monitoring and semi-annual site visits will be conducted to assess the condition of the completed project. Specific performance standard components are proposed for stream morphology, hydrology, and vegetation. The stream restoration reaches of the project will be assigned specific performance criteria components for hydrology, vegetation, and geomorphology. The enhancement II reaches will be assigned specific performance criteria components for vegetation only. Performance criteria will be evaluated throughout the (up to) seven years of post - construction monitoring. If all stream, vegetation, and hydrologic performance criteria have been successfully met and at least four bankfull events have occurred during separate years, Wildlands may propose to terminate stream and/or vegetation monitoring after five years with written approval from the USACE and North Carolina Interagency Review Team (IRT). An outline of the performance criteria components follows. w. Widllands Upper Neuse Umbrella Mitigation Bank W Camp Creek Mitigation Site Draft Prospectus Page 14 6.1 Stream Morphological Parameters and Channel Stability Dimension Riffle cross sections on the restoration reaches should be stable and should show little change in bankfull area, bank height ratio, and width -to -depth ratio. Riffle cross sections should fall within the parameters defined for channels of the appropriate stream type. If any changes do occur, these changes will be evaluated to assess whether the stream channel is showing signs of instability. Changes in the channel that indicate a movement toward stability or enhanced habitat include a decrease in the width - to -depth ratio in meandering channels or an increase in pool depth. These sorts of bed changes do not constitute a problem or indicate a need for remedial actions. If channel changes indicate a movement toward stability, remedial action will not be taken. In order to assess channel dimension performance, permanent cross sections will be installed on restoration and reaches per the IRT Mitigation Monitoring Guidelines (October 2016). Each cross section will be permanently marked with pins to establish its location. Cross section surveys will include points measured at all breaks in slope, including top of bank, bankfull, edge of water, and thalweg. Cross section and bank pin surveys (if applicable) will be conducted in monitoring years one, two, three, five, and seven. Profile and Pattern Longitudinal profile surveys will be conducted during the as -built survey but will not be conducted during the seven-year monitoring period unless other indicators during the annual monitoring indicate a trend toward vertical and lateral instability. If a longitudinal profile is deemed necessary, monitoring will follow standards as described in the Stream Channel Reference Sites: An Illustrated Guide to Field Technique (Harrelson et. al., 1994) for the necessary reaches. Substrate Channel substrate materials will be sampled with the pebble count method along restoration, and enhancement I reaches. These reaches should show maintenance of coarser materials in the riffle features and smaller particles in the pool features. A reach -wide pebble count will be performed in each restoration reach each monitoring year for classification purposes. A pebble count will be performed at each surveyed riffle cross-section, only during the as -built survey to characterize the pavement. 6.2 Hydrology Stream Four bankfull flow events, occurring in separate years, must be documented on the restoration reaches within the seven-year monitoring period. Stream monitoring will continue until success criteria in the form of four bankfull events in separate years have been documented. Bankfull events will be documented using photographs and either a crest gage or a pressure transducer, as appropriate for Site conditions. The selected measurement device will be installed in the stream within a surveyed riffle cross section. Photographs will also be used to document the occurrence of debris lines and sediment deposition. Where restoration activities are proposed for intermittent streams, monitoring gages will be installed to track the frequency and duration of stream flow events. Continuous surface water flow within the tributaries must be documented to occur every year for at least 30 consecutive days during the seven- year monitoring period. This 30-day period of flow can occur at any point during the year. Additional �. Widllands Upper Neuse Umbrella Mitigation Bank W Camp Creek Mitigation Site Draft Prospectus Page 15 monitoring may be required if surface water flow cannot be documented due to abnormally dry conditions. Wetland Groundwater monitoring will be conducted for seven years after construction to evaluate the hydrologic state of the restored wetland areas. Wetland groundwater gages will be installed in accordance with the techniques and standards described in the USACE document entitled "Technical Standard for Water - Table Monitoring of Potential Wetland Sites" (ERDC TN-WRAP-05-2, June 2005). Groundwater monitoring gages will be established throughout the wetland area to adequately characterize the different soils, vegetation communities, and surface topographic variations that are found across the site. According to Table 1 in the USACE Mitigation Guidance update, Wehadkee soils have a wetland saturation range of 12-16% of the growing season. Based on this, the final criteria for wetland hydrology will be groundwater levels within 12 inches of the soil surface for a minimum period of 12% of the growing season. 6.3 Vegetation The final vegetative success criteria will be the survival of 210 planted stems per acre in the riparian corridors at the end of the required monitoring period (year seven). The interim measure of vegetative success for the Site will be the survival of at least 320 native species stems per acre at the end of the third monitoring year and at least 260 stems per acre at the end of the fifth year of monitoring. Also, trees must average seven feet in height at the end of the fifth monitoring year, and ten feet in height at the end of the seventh monitoring year. If this performance standard is met by year five and stem density is trending towards success (i.e., vigor), and invasive species are not threatening ecological success, monitoring of vegetation on the Site may be terminated with written approval by the USACE in consultation with the IRT. The extent of invasive species coverage will also be monitored and controlled as necessary throughout the required monitoring period. Vegetation monitoring quadrants will be installed across the Site to measure the survival of the planted trees. The number of monitoring quadrants required, and frequency of monitoring will be based on the October 2016 IRT Mitigation Monitoring Guidance. Vegetation monitoring will occur in the summer and will follow the CVS-EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation (2008). 6.4 Other Parameters Photo Reference Stations Photographs should illustrate the Site's vegetation and morphological stability on an annual basis. Cross section photos should demonstrate no excessive erosion or degradation of the banks. Longitudinal photos should indicate the absence of persistent mid -channel bars within the channel or vertical incision. Grade control structures should remain stable. Deposition of sediment on the bank side of vane arms is preferable. Maintenance of scour pools on the channel side of vane arms is expected. Photographs will be taken once a year to visually document stability for seven years following construction. Permanent markers will be established and located with GPS equipment, so that the same locations and view directions on the Site are photographed each year. Photos will be used to monitor restoration and enhancement areas, as well as vegetation plots. Longitudinal reference photos will be established at regular intervals along the channel by taking a photo looking upstream and downstream. Cross sectional photos will be taken of each permanent cross section looking upstream and downstream. Reference photos will also be taken for each of the vegetation plots. Representative digital photos of each permanent photo point, cross section, and �. Widllands Upper Neuse Umbrella Mitigation Bank Camp Creek Mitigation Site Draft Prospectus Page 16 vegetation plot will be taken when the stream and vegetation assessments are conducted. The photographer will make every effort to consistently maintain the same area in each photo over time. Visual Assessments Visual assessments should support the specific performance standards for each metric as described above. Visual assessments will be performed along stream reaches on a semi-annual basis during the seven-year monitoring period. Problem areas such as channel instability (e.g. lateral and/or vertical instability, instream structure failure/instability and/or piping, headcuts), vegetation health (e.g. low stem density, vegetation mortality, invasive species, or encroachment), or beaver activity will be noted. Areas of concern will be mapped and photographed and will be accompanied by a written description in the annual report. Problem areas will be re-evaluated during each subsequent visual assessment. Should remedial actions be required, a plan of action will be provided in the annual monitoring report. Benthic Macroinvertebrates If required by DWR as part of the project's permitting process, benthic macroinvertebrate sampling will be performed on the restored site. Any required sampling will be performed using DWR Standard Operating Procedures for Benthic Macroinvertebrates (October 2012). 7.0 Maintenance and Long -Term Sustainability 7.1 Maintenance The Bank shall be monitored on a regular basis and a physical inspection of the project shall be conducted at a minimum of once per year throughout the post -construction monitoring period until performance standards are met. These site inspections may identify site components and features that require routine maintenance. Routine maintenance will be conducted to rectify identified deficiencies and may include the activities listed in Table 10. Table 10. Maintenance Plan Component / Maintenance through project close-out Feature Routine channel maintenance and repair activities may include chinking of in -stream structures to prevent piping, securing loose coir matting, and supplemental installations of live Stream stakes and other target vegetation along the channel. Areas where stormwater and floodplain flows intercept the channel may also require maintenance to prevent bank failures and head - cutting. Beaver dams that inundate the streams channels shall be removed and the beaver shall be trapped. Vegetation shall be maintained to ensure the health and vigor of the targeted community. Routine vegetation maintenance and repair activities may include supplemental planting, Vegetation pruning, mulching, and fertilizing. Exotic invasive plant species affecting the viability of the mitigation shall be controlled by mechanical and/or chemical methods. Any vegetation control requiring herbicide application will be performed in accordance with the NC Department of Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations. Site boundaries shall be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between the bank site Site and adjacent properties. Boundaries may be identified by fence, marker, bollard, post, tree - Boundary blazing, or other means as allowed by site conditions and/or conservation easement. Boundary markers disturbed, damaged, or destroyed will be repaired and/or replaced on an as -needed basis. 0y Widllands Upper Neuse Umbrella Mitigation Bank Camp Creek Mitigation Site Draft Prospectus Page 17 7.2 Adaptive Management Upon completion of site construction, the Sponsor will implement the post -construction monitoring protocols and minor remedial actions (routine maintenance) will be performed as needed for the duration of the monitoring period. The Sponsor will notify the USACE immediately if monitoring results or visual observations suggest a trend towards instability, major remedial actions are needed, or that performance standards cannot be achieved. Should major remedial measures be required, the Sponsor will submit a Corrective Action Plan and coordinate with the USACE until authorization is secured to conduct the adaptive management activities. The Sponsor is responsible for funding and/or providing the services necessary to secure any necessary permits to support the proposed major remedial adaptive management actions, to implement the corrective action plan, and to deliver record drawings that depict the extent and nature of the work performed. If the USACE determines that the Bank is not meeting performance standards or the Sponsor is not complying with the terms of the instrument, the USACE may take appropriate actions, including but not limited to: suspending credit sales, utilizing financial assurances, and/or terminating the instrument. 7.3 Long Term Management Provisions The Sponsor will institute a Long Term Management Plan responsible for assessing the condition of the Bank and implementing maintenance provisions to maintain performance of the Bank. The proposed conservation easement will help to ensure that only IRT-allowable activities take place. This easement will be transferred to an IRT-approved non-profit organization once monitoring success criteria have been achieved. The provider for long term management of the sites is anticipated to be Unique Places to Save (UP2Save). UP2Save is a 501c3 nonprofit committed to land conservation through conservation planning and management. The funding mechanism for long term management will be a stewardship endowment funded by Wildlands. Contact information for UP2Save is listed below. Unique Places to Save 206 Causeway Drive #206 Wrightsville Beach, NC 28480 Phone: (910) 707-3622 Email: info@unigueplacestosave.org To monitor the project's continued success, a Long Term Management Plan will be implemented following the seven-year monitoring period. All components of the bank will be inspected annually or less frequently as needed to ensure that the Bank remains stable in perpetuity. Sources of instability or other deficiencies will be addressed. Invasive species will be managed annually or less frequently as needed to ensure the long term survivability of the planned native vegetation community. All reporting will be documented and kept on file for future reference. 8.0 References Geologic Map of North Carolina 1:500,000 scale, 1985. Compiled by Philip M. Brown at el.

TC7347749.2s EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 6 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 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. ADDITIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL RECORDS Other Ascertainable Records DOD: Consists of federally owned or administered lands, administered by the Department of Defense, that have any area equal to or greater than 640 acres of the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. A review of the DOD list, as provided by EDR, and dated 06/07/2021 has revealed that there is 1 DOD site within approximately 1 of the target property.
