Monitoring Year 4 Report
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Project Description
The Thoroughfare Swamp Mitigation Bank Parcel (Parcel) is part of Wildlands Holdings III, LLC, (Sponsor)
Thoroughfare Swamp Mitigation Bank (Bank). The project encompasses the headwaters of Thoroughfare
Swamp which flows into Falling Creek and eventually into the Neuse River approximately 20 miles
downstream from the Parcel. The Parcel location is depicted in Figure 1. The purpose of the Parcel is to
provide riparian buffer mitigation credits and nutrient offset credits to compensate for buffer impacts
according to the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (effective November 1, 2015)
and development requiring nutrient offset payments according to 15A NCAC 02B .0703 within the Neuse
River Basin Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03020201 excluding the Falls Lake Watershed. The Bank may
also provide nutrient offset credits for stormwater requirements with new and existing development
requiring nutrient offsets within the 03020201 HUC outside the Falls Lake Watershed. The Bank service
area is depicted in Figure 2.
Prior to construction, the Parcel was an agricultural field used for crop production, primarily corn and
soybeans. The Parcel was restored to provide ecological and water quality enhancements to the Neuse
River Basin by creating a functional riparian corridor. Approximately 23.55 acres have been protected
with a permanent conservation easement along Thoroughfare Swamp (A2), one unnamed tributary (B),
and one ephemeral channel (A1). Project features on the Parcel had little to no existing riparian buffer
except for three separate, individual rows of mature trees. A conservation easement was recorded on
the Parcel in January 2020.
1.2 Bank Sponsor
The Thoroughfare Swamp Mitigation Parcel is a part of the Bank. The Mitigation Banking Instrument
(MBI) for the Bank was signed in November 2019.

1.4 Project Location
The Parcel is located in southwest Wayne County near the border of Sampson County and involved
riparian restoration on Thoroughfare Swamp (A2), one unnamed tributary (B) and one ephemeral
channel (A1) in accordance with the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rules (15A NCAC 02B .0295). The
project is located within HUC 03020201170030 and North Carolina Division of Water Resources
(NCDWR) Subbasin 03‐04‐12 and was restored for riparian buffer mitigation credit and nutrient offset
credit in the Neuse River Basin HUC 03020201 (excluding Falls Lake).
From Raleigh take I‐40 E. Continue for 42.7 miles, then take exit 341 to merge onto NC 50 S/NC 55 E
towards Newton Grove. Follow NC 50 S for 1.3 miles, at the traffic circle take the third exit onto NC 50
S/NC 55 E/Mt. Olive, and continue this route for 6.7 miles. Turn left onto Dobbersville Road, the project
is located 0.4 miles down the road on the left (35° 14’ 9.70’’ N, 78° 15’ 4.44’’ W).
1.5 Project Design
Approximately 23.55 acres are protected in a conservation easement. The Parcel will generate 13.046
acres of Neuse riparian buffer credits. Additionally, the Parcel will generate 7.725 acres of nutrient
offset credits, which creates 17,559.07 pounds of nitrogen credits. Parcel credit generation is shown 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 Plain communities as defined by Schafale (2012). Adjacent forested areas
were also used as a reference for the Parcel. Tree species selected for planting on the Parcel as well as
size specifications, planting density, and plant 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 restored site. “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 is based upon guidelines set forth in the Consolidated Buffer
Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (effective November 1, 2015), and is defined as a success rate
equivalent to 260 live stems per acre at the end of the 5‐year monitoring period.
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 site indicates
that portions of the Parcel do not have sufficient stem densities or are otherwise deficient,
supplemental planting shall be performed with tree species approved by 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 (Levels II) such that at least 2 percent of the Parcel is encompassed in monitoring plots.
A total of 17 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 4 stem count are
summarized in Appendix C.

2.3 Results of Vegetation Monitoring
The 17 vegetation plots were sampled in September 2023 at the end of the fourth 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.
Thoroughfare Swamp Mitigation Bank Parcel Page 5
Monitoring Year 4 Report
The 2023 vegetation monitoring resulted in an average stem density of 574 stems per acre, which well
exceeds the final requirement of 260 stems per acre. All vegetation plots individually exceed the final
steam density requirement by more than 10 percent; with planted stems per acre ranging from 405 to
607. When including volunteer species, the average stem density increases to 776 stems per acre with
individual plots ranging from 526 to 1,174 stems per acre. Vegetation plot 4 has 65 loblolly pine (Pinus
taeda) volunteers. Despite this, all planted stems increased in height and most have a vigor of excellent
(4). Wildlands plans to thin pine trees in this area in spring 2024 to ensure the continued success of
planted trees in and around vegetation plot 4. All plots have 4 or more character species and most
planted stems across plots have a vigor of excellent (4), as can be seen in Appendix D. Volunteer stems
include desirable species, such as black gum (Nyssa sylvatica), American sycamore (Platanus
occidentalis), and eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana).

2.4 Parcel Adaptive Management
Due to compaction, a portion of an old farm use road that crosses into the northeastern portion of the
Parcel had not established native vegetation like the remainder of the Parcel and still appeared to be a
passable road. To deter vehicular traffic through the Parcel, avoid potential future encroachments, and
ensure the success of vegetation in this area, a tiller was used to break up the top soil, additional trees
were planted, and the area was seeded with a native riparian seed mix in January 2023. Twenty trees
total of river birch (Betula nigra) and water oak (Quercus phellos) were planted across approximately
0.06 acres. Soil amendments were applied locally as tree boosters to encourage planted tree growth in
May and August 2023. Trees are surviving and herbaceous vegetation is well established.
In June 2023, materials were observed being stored near the southeastern extent of the Parcel
boundary and encroaching two feet into the Parcel. Polytape fencing had been temporarily put in place
to increase visibility of the Parcel boundary in 2021. Wildlands has spoken to the landowner about
storing materials in the conservation easement and the materials have been removed from the
conservation easement. Wildlands will continue to monitor and take action if the encroachment occurs
again in the future.
Small populations of Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) were observed scattered through the forested
area in the southern extent of the Parcel during monitoring year 4. No adaptive management is
currently planned for this area as it is small. Wildlands will continue to monitor this area and remove the
Chinese privet if it begins to outcompete native vegetation.
Dense loblolly pine saplings were observed in the western extent of the Parcel in the vicinity of
vegetation plots 4 and 5 and extending west to the old farm road. Despite the density of pines in this
area, vegetation data suggests they have little effect on planted stem density and growth and most
Thoroughfare Swamp Mitigation Bank Parcel Page 6
Monitoring Year 4 Report
planted stems were observed being taller than the pine trees. Wildlands is planning to thin pine trees in
this area in the spring of 2024 to ensure success of planted stems and desirable species in this area.
Throughout the remainder of the Parcel, 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 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
Overall vegetation is doing well across the Parcel and on track to exceed the final performance criteria.
All 17 vegetation plots exceed the vegetation success criteria of 260 stems per acre, with plots ranging
from 405 to 607 planted stems per acre. The 2023 vegetation monitoring data reflects that the Parcel
has an average density of 574 planted stems per acre. Supplemental stems planted within the old farm
path have shown good survival, and herbaceous vegetation is becoming established within the area.
While dense loblolly pines do not appear to have negatively impacted planted trees in vegetation plots 4
and 5, Wildlands plans to thin the pines in spring of 2024 to ensure success of planted species. The
Parcel is showing positive trends in vegetation establishment, which is expected to continue in
subsequent monitoring years.
