The Bank Parcel Development Package (BPDP) was approved in July 2022. Three unnamed tributaries (UT1, UT2, and UT3) and six ditches (D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, and D6) flow to the project feature UT to Charles Branch, which extends for approximately 2 miles until it flows into Charles Branch. Charles Branch subsequently 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 areas along UT to Charles Branch, three unnamed tributaries (UT1, UT2, and UT3), and three project ditches (D1, D2, and D3). Three non - project ditches (D4, D5, and D6) also exist within the Parcel. Prior to planting, the Parcel was open row crop fields. Approximately 47.1 acres have been protected along the project features by permanent conservation easement. The conservation easement was recorded on the Parcel in July 2022. 1.2 Bank Sponsor The Rosewood Mitigation Parcel is a part of the Bank. The Umbrella Mitigation Banking Instrument (UMBI) for the Bank was signed in February, 2022.

Table 1. Project Reporting History Activity Completion Date Wildlands Holdings III, LLC Black Dirt & Rosewood UMBI February 2022 Bank Parcel Development Package Approved July 2022 Conservation Easement July 2022 Bare Root Planting February 2023 As -Built & Baseline Monitoring Document July 2023 Year 1 Monitoring Completed September 2023 1.4 Project Location The Parcel is in Wayne County, approximately six miles west of the City of Goldsboro (Figure 1). To reach the Parcel from the City of Raleigh, travel on 1-40 East for approximately 10 miles, following signs for Benson/Wilmington. Take exit 309 for US-70 E toward Smithfield/Goldsboro. Continue on US-70 E for approximately 34 miles then turn right on Community Drive. In 2.2 miles turn right onto NC-581 S. Drive %A11 Rosewood Mitigation Bank Parcel Page 2 Monitoring Year 1 Report for 0.7 miles and the Parcel will be on the right and is accessible via a dirt road alongside the house at 753 NC 581. (35.406567 N,-78.075854 W). The project is located within the Neuse River Basin 14-digit HUC 03020201200030 and NCDWR Subbasin 03-04-12. The Parcel was restored for riparian buffer mitigation credit and nutrient offset credit in the Neuse River Basin HUC 03020201 outside of the Falls Lake Watershed (Figure 2). 1.5 Project Design The Parcel will generate 16.5 acres of Neuse riparian buffer credits. Additionally, the Parcel will generate 25.5 acres of nutrient offset credits, which creates 95,357.582 pounds of nitrogen offset 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 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.

Vegetative success criteria are based upon guidelines set forth in the Consolidated Buffer %A11 Rosewood Mitigation Bank Parcel Page 3 Monitoring Year 1 Report 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 planted stems, and an established density of at least 260 planted 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 12 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. Table 4.

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 planted stem density of 614 stems per acre with individual plot densities ranging from 486 to 688 stems per acre. Diversity remained high through the first growing season, with a range of 7 to 10 planted species across plots. Additionally, vigor remained high in MY1, with most recorded stems scoring either 3 (good) or 4 (excellent). %A11 Rosewood Mitigation Bank Parcel Page 4 Monitoring Year 1 Report Table 5.

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. Banks stabilized along UT to Charles Branch during As -Built remain stable, and vegetation is successfully establishing along the banks. Bank stabilization areas will continue to be observed in future monitoring years. An easement encroachment was discovered on March 2, 2023 within the not -for -credit portion of the easement abutting D2 and D6 (see Figure 4). Approximately 4,182 square feet have been used by neighbors as a driveway and backyard. As of September, 2023, the materials have not been moved off of the easement, and herbaceous growth remains stunted. Mowing is the suspected cause for suppressed herbaceous cover within this area. A letter was mailed to the appropriate neighbors regarding the encroachment on August 30, 2023 (see Appendix F). Wildlands is working with the long-term easement holder to resolve the issue and will include any updates on the encroachment within the Monitoring Year 2 Report. Except for a small area along D1 where a cool season cover crop was previously planted by the landowner, the entire Parcel was seeded with a combination of Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta), Partridge Pea (Chamaecrista fasciculata var. fasciculata), German Millet (Setaria italica), Crimson Clover (Trifolium incarnatum), and Ladino Clover (Trifolium repens) in April of 2023. The native seed mix was broadcasted in an effort to establish herbaceous ground cover and suppress agricultural weed growth. During a DWR As -Built Site Walk in May 2023, small areas along UT2, UT3, D4, D5, and D6 were found to be inadequately planted at the top of stream and ditch banks. To resolve this issue, a supplemental planting of approximately 40 bare root stems consisting of species approved in the BPDP is scheduled to occur along portions of the top of banks of UT2, UT3, D5, and D6 during the winter of 2023/2024 (see Figure 4). 2.5 Conclusions Overall, vegetation is doing well across the Parcel, with each vegetation plot surpassing the final density criterion of 260 stems per acre. The Parcel has an average planted stem density of 614 planted stems per acre, with plots ranging from 486 to 688 stems per acre. Plots remain diverse in species %A11 Rosewood Mitigation Bank Parcel Page 5 Monitoring Year 1 Report composition, with a range of 7 to 10 planted species across plots. Additionally, herbaceous vegetation is established across the Parcel along with several pollinator species. A supplemental planting is planned for the winter of 2023/2024 along UT2, UT3, D4, D5, and D6 where the top of banks were sparsely planted. An encroachment within the not -for -credit portion of the easement adjacent to D2 and D6 was discovered in March of 2023. A letter has been sent to the appropriate party, and Wildlands is working with the long-term easement holder to resolve the issue. %A11 Rosewood Mitigation Bank Parcel Page 6 Monitoring Year 1 Report 3.0 References Guidelines for Riparian Buffer Restoration.

NA Unique Places To Save Re: Request to Cease and Desist Unauthorized Use of Conservation Property Rosewood Mitigation Bank Site Approx. 202-400 Rab Trail, Goldsboro, NC 27530 SENT VIA USPS FIRST-CLASS MAIL Dear Thomas and Christie, The purpose of this letter is to (i) provide you notice of the unauthorized encroachment on property permanently protected by a conservation easement and owned by Spring Hill Family Farms, LLC (the "Landowner") located on Rab Trail bearing Wayne County PIN number 2670-55-3301 (the "Conservation Property"); (ii) inform you of the real property interests in the Conservation Property held by Unique Places to Save ("UP2S") evidenced by that Conservation Easement recorded with the Wayne County Register of Deeds at Book 3752, Page 666 (the "Conservation Easement"), and Wildlands Engineering, Inc. ("Wildlands") evidenced by that Land Use and Easement Agreement recorded with the Wayne County Register of Deeds at Book 3752, Page 678 (the "LUEA"); and (iii) request that you immediately remedy all existing encroachments and refrain from future unauthorized trespass and use of the Conservation Property. On July 19, 2022, Wildlands and UP2S recorded the Conservation Easement and LUEA for the purpose of permanently conserving the Conservation Property and protecting vegetated stream buffers therein. These easements prohibit dumping or storage of materials; the use of mechanized vehicles; any activity that disturbs natural features or harms vegetation; and any other use or activity that is inconsistent with the Conservation Easement or Wildlands' right to use the Conservation Property for a mitigation bank. On February 23, 2023, Wildlands staff observed a pile of bricks, a fire pit, and a shooting target on the Conservation Property adjacent to your property. Additionally, a wide path devoid of vegetation extends from Rab Trail and crosses the Conservation Property. A boat is parked at the end of this path, indicating vehicular use across the Conservation Property. As of June 23, 2023, the Conservation Property boundary signage remains intact and clearly visible. The encroachment area measures approximately 0.1 acres. This unauthorized use of the Conservation Property must cease and desist in order to comply with the terms of the Conservation Easement and LUEA. A map of the Conservation Property showing the location of the unauthorized use and pictures of the resulting property impacts are enclosed with this letter for your reference. This use of and encroachment into the Conservation Property violates both the Conservation Easement and LUEA. If this unauthorized use of the Conservation Property continues, Wildlands and UP2S can take Wildlands Engineering, Inc. • phone 704-332-7754 • fax 704-332-3306 • 1430 S. Mint Street, # 104 • Charlotte, NC 28203 legal action against the responsible parties and will seek full compensation for property damage, loss of mitigation value, all time and materials spent on remedial measures, and all other damages incurred. To bring the Conservation Property back into compliance with the Conservation Easement and LUEA, Wildlands and UP2S request that you immediately remove the bricks, fire pit, and shooting target and refrain from any future vehicular use of the Conservation Property. Wildlands and UP2S hope this letter provides sufficient guidance for ameliorating the encroaching activities and preventing future encroachments. Thank you for partnering with us to protect streams and floodplains in your community. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.
