Monitoring Year 1 Report
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Project Description
The O’Berry Road Mitigation Bank Parcel (Parcel) is part of the Wildlands Holdings III, LLC (Sponsor),
Neuse Umbrella Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank (Bank). The Bank Parcel Development
Package (BPDP) was approved in September 2022. Two unnamed tributaries (O’Berry Creek and UT1)
and four ditches (Ditches A, B, C, and D) flow to Brooks Swamp off site, which then connects with
Thoroughfare Swamp and subsequently flows to Falling Creek. Falling Creek flows into the Neuse River.
The primary purpose of the project is to provide riparian buffer mitigation credits and nutrient offset
credits to compensate for unavoidable impacts in the Neuse River Basin 03020201 Hydrologic Unit Code
(HUC) outside the Falls Lake Watershed. The project has been planned, designed, and constructed
according to the BPDP, the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (effective
November 1, 2015), and Nutrient Offset Credit Trading 15A NCAC 02B .0703. The Bank service area is
depicted in Figure 2.
The Parcel was restored to provide ecological and water quality enhancements to the Neuse River Basin
by creating a functional riparian corridor and restoring the riparian buffer along two unnamed
tributaries (O’Berry Creek and UT1) and four ditches (Ditches A, B, C, and D). Prior to mitigation
activities, much of the Parcel was used to produce row crops. However, the downstream half of O’Berry
Creek and UT1 are surrounded by forest and there is a small pond on the west side of UT1.
Approximately 27.30 acres have been protected along the project features by permanent conservation
easement. The conservation easement was recorded on the Parcel in September 2022.

1.2 Bank Sponsor
The O’Berry Road Mitigation Bank Parcel is a part of the Bank. The Umbrella Mitigation Banking
Instrument (UMBI) for the Bank was signed in May 2022.

1.4 Project Location
The Parcel is in Wayne County, approximately nine miles southwest of the City of Goldsboro (Figure 1).
To reach the Parcel from the City of Raleigh, travel on I-40 East for approximately 36 miles, following
signs for Benson/Wilmington. Take exit 341 for NC-50/NC-55 toward US-13/Newton Grove. Turn left and
drive approximately 1.3 miles. At the traffic circle take the 3rd exit onto NC-50 S/NC-55 E/Mt. Olive Dr.
Drive approximately 10 miles and turn left on Odom Mill Road. Drive 1 mile and turn right on Crows Foot
Road. After 2.7 miles, turn right on Dudley Rd/O'Berry Rd. Drive 5.3 miles. The Parcel is accessible via a
dirt access road on the left (35.267644 N, -78.073667 W).
1.5 Project Design
Approximately 27.30 acres are protected in a conservation easement. The Parcel will generate 6.02
acres of Neuse riparian restoration credits and 12.20 acres of nutrient offset credits. Parcel credit
generation is illustrated in Figure 3. The revegetation plan for the Parcel included planting of bare root
trees and controlling invasive species growth. Bare root trees selected for the Parcel were native
bottomland hardwood species typical for Coastal communities as defined by Schafale (2012). The
species composition planted was selected based on the desired community type, occurrence of species
in riparian areas adjacent to the Parcel, and best professional judgement. Tree species selected for
planting on the Parcel as well as size specifications, planting density, and planting composition are
detailed in Table 2.
Table 2. Tree Species Selected for Buffer Restoration
Natural recruitment of desirable Character Tree species shall be counted towards the survival and
success rate of the Parcel. Character Trees are defined as planted or volunteer species identified from a
survey of local vegetation on less degraded sections of the specified stream and from reference
literature that details native species. A list of Character Tree species (other than the planted species) is
included in Table 3.

2.0 Vegetation Monitoring
2.1 Success Criteria
Buffer vegetative success criteria are based upon the density and growth of species as defined in Tables
2 & 3. Vegetative success criteria are based upon guidelines set forth in the Consolidated Buffer
Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (effective November 1, 2015). This is defined as the survival of at
least four native hardwood tree species, where no one species is greater than 50% of the established
stems, and an established density of at least 260 trees per acre at the end of the fifth year of
monitoring.
If vegetative success criteria are not achieved based on acreage density calculations from combined
monitoring plots over the entire restoration area, or if an inspection of a buffer restoration area
indicates that portions of the Parcel do not have sufficient stem density or are otherwise deficient,
supplemental planting shall be performed with tree species approved by the North Carolina Division of
Water Resources (NCDWR). Supplemental planting shall be performed as needed until vegetative
success criteria are met. No quantitative measurements of herb assemblages will be required to meet
the vegetative success criteria.
2.2 Description of Species and Monitoring Protocol
The quantity of monitoring plots was determined in accordance with the Carolina Vegetative Sampling
(CVS) Protocols (Level II) such that at least 2 percent of restoration areas is encompassed in monitoring
plots. A total of fifteen plots (10 meters by 10 meters) were established within the credit generation
area. PVC pipe was used to mark the four corners of the plots. Monitoring plot locations are shown in
Figure 4. GPS points were taken at each of the corners. A reference photo was taken from the southwest
corner of each plot (Appendix D). All planted stems within the plots were marked with flagging tape and
recorded. Total numbers of tree species planted within the monitoring plots as well as planting density
and plant composition are detailed in Table 4. Detailed results of the Monitoring Year 1 stem count are
summarized in Appendix C.

2.3 Results of Vegetation Monitoring
The fifteen vegetation plots were sampled in September 2023 at the end of the first growing season. A
reference photo was taken from the southwest corner of each plot, which can be found in Appendix D
along with the stem count raw data. Total numbers of tree species identified within the monitoring plots
as well as density and composition are summarized in Table 5. Vegetation result tables with planted
stem density, and stem count by plot and species are summarized in Appendix C.
The 2023 vegetation monitoring resulted in an average stem density of 540 planted stems per acre
across vegetation plots, which is well above the final requirement of 260 stems per acre. When
including volunteer trees, this increases to 548 stems per acre across plots. All vegetation plots
individually exceed the final stem density requirement by more than ten percent; with planted stems
per acre ranging from 405 to 647. All plots have 6 or more planted species and most planted stems
across plots have a vigor of excellent (4), as can be seen in Appendix D.

2.4 Parcel Adaptive Management
The herbaceous vegetation has become established and live stakes are growing on the erosional areas
that were stabilized at As-Built. There were two small areas on the south bank of O’Berry Creek near
vegetation plot 4 and an erosional hole that had developed on the east bank of UT1. All three are
covered in vegetation and are now difficult to differentiate from the surroundings. There are no signs of
further erosion. Wildlands does not anticipate these areas will cause any further issues.
Adaptive measures will be developed, or appropriate remedial actions will be implemented in the event
the Parcel, or a specific component of the Parcel fails to achieve the success criteria outlined in the
BPDP. Parcel maintenance will be performed to correct any identified problems on the Parcel that have
a high likelihood of affecting project success. Such items include but are not limited to; excess tree

Monitoring Year 1 Report
mortality caused by fire, flooding, drought, or insects. Any actions implemented will be designed to
achieve the success criteria and will include a work schedule and updated monitoring criteria.
2.5 Conclusions
Vegetation across the Parcel is exceeding performance standards and on track to achieve the final
success criteria of 260 stems per acre at the end of Monitoring Year 5. Monitoring Year 1 data shows an
average density of 540 planted stems per acre across vegetation plots, with individual plots ranging from
405 to 647 planted stems per acre. Overall, planted tree species diversity and vigor are excellent.
Herbaceous vegetation is growing well, with some areas being particularly dense. Vegetation has
covered the areas of bank stabilization and live stakes are growing, no other issues from these areas are
anticipated. Wildlands will continue to monitor for invasive species and the health of planted trees,
managing issues as necessary.
