1.0 Project Summary

1.1 Project Location and Description

EBX–Neuse I, LLC (EBX Neuse-1), an entity of Resource Environmental Solutions (RES), is pleased to
provide this Bank Parcel Development Monitoring Report for the Hannah Bridge Riparian Buffer and
Nutrient Offset Mitigation Bank (Parcel). This Parcel is designed to provide riparian buffer mitigation
credits for unavoidable impacts due to development within the Neuse River Basin, United States Geological
Survey (USGS) 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC – 03020201). In addition, it also provides nutrient
offset credits in the 03020201 HUC, excluding the Falls Lake Watershed, for existing and proposed
development requiring such mitigation. This Parcel is in accordance with the Consolidated Buffer
Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295, 15A NCAC 02B.0703 and the RES Neuse Umbrella Mitigation
Banking Instrument for Riparian Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset Credits (UMBI), made and entered
into by EBX-Neuse I, LLC acting as the Bank Sponsor (Sponsor), and the North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality-Division of Water Resources (DWR). Supporting figures can be found in
Appendix A. The Parcel has also been designed in concurrence with the Hannah Bridge Stream and
Wetland Mitigation Site in the Neu-Con Stream and Wetland Umbrella Mitigation Bank (SAW# 2015-
01799). The mitigation plan and baseline report for the Hannah Bridge Stream and Wetland Mitigation
Bank have been approved by the Interagency Review Team (IRT).

The Parcel is located in Johnston County approximately five miles south of the town of Four Oaks, NC
(Figure 1). The Parcel is located within Neuse River Basin USGS 14-digit HUC 03020201150020 and
North Carolina Division of Water Resources (DWR) Subbasin Number 03-04-04. To access the Parcel from
the town of Four Oaks, travel South on NC Hwy 96 and turn left on Green Pasture Road. The coordinates
of the site are 35.380621°N and -78.417107 °W.

When combining the Hannah Bridge Stream & Wetland Mitigation Bank with the Hannah Bridge Buffer
Mitigation and Nutrient Offset Bank, the conservation easement totals 46.2 acres and includes unnamed
tributaries, and storm water runoff from adjacent pastures that flow directly to Hannah Creek. The drainage
area of the Parcel is 1.39 mi². The Parcel is located in an area dominated by agriculture, livestock, and
residential land use. A majority of the Parcel was utilized for livestock pasture. Additional land use practices
included the maintenance and removal of riparian vegetation and the relocation, dredging and straightening
of onsite streams has resulted in degraded water quality and unstable channel characteristics.

The Hannah Bridge Mitigation Site was built to provide stream restoration and enhancement on
approximately 8,524 linear feet of streams and wetland restoration, enhancement, and preservation on 16.7
acres of wetlands within the conservation easement through a separate mitigation banking instrument with
the North Carolina IRT. Riparian restoration, enhancement, and preservation of the Neuse riparian buffer
(as defined in 15A NCAC 02B .0233) and other riparian areas onsite result in immediate water quality
benefits within the vicinity of the Parcel and include the removal of livestock access to Parcel streams and
reduction in nutrient loads from agricultural land-uses. The riparian restoration activities within the Parcel
also result in improved water quality within the downstream watershed.

Hannah Bridge 2 Year 5 Monitoring Report
Mitigation Site October 2023
1.2 Project Success Criteria

Riparian buffer vegetation monitoring will be based on the CVS-EEP Level 2 Protocol for Recording
Vegetation. Annual vegetation monitoring will occur each year for a minimum of five years and will be
conducted during the fall season with the first year occurring at least 5 months from initial planting. Ten
vegetation monitoring plots were installed a minimum of 100 m2 in size and cover at least two percent of
the riparian restoration area. Plots were randomly placed throughout the planted Neuse buffer zones and
nutrient offset mitigation area and are representative of the crediting areas. The following data will be
recorded for all trees in the plots: species, height, planting date (or volunteer), and grid location. Photos are
to be taken from all photo points each monitoring year and provided in the annual reports. The measures of
vegetative success for the Parcel will be the survival of at least 4 native hardwood tree species, where no
one species is greater than 50 percent of the established stems, established at a density of at least 260 planted
trees per acre at the end of Year 5. Native volunteer species may be included to meet the performance
standards. Invasive and noxious species will be monitored and treated so that none become dominant or
alter the desired community structure of the site.

RES must monitor the stream mitigation bank for a minimum of seven years, or until IRT approval.
Therefore, plots placed within riparian restoration areas that are outside of the mitigation area for buffer
and nutrient offset credits will be monitored in accordance with the monitoring protocol in the Hannah
Bridge Stream Mitigation Plan.

1.3 Project Components

Before ratios and reductions were applied, this Bank generates credit in 4.585 acres (199,724.56 ft2) of
riparian buffer restoration area, 0.385 acres (4,907.04 ft2) of riparian buffer enhancement area via cattle
exclusion, 3.41 acres (7,396.49 ft2) of riparian buffer preservation, of which only 1.660 preservation acres
were used for crediting, area, and 4.79 acres (10,891.71 lbs) of nutrient offset area. The riparian buffer
mitigation credits generated services Neuse buffer impacts within the USGS 8-digit HUC 03020201 of the
Neuse River Basin excluding the Falls Lake Watershed. The Nitrogen nutrient offsets generated services
nutrient load reduction requirements where payments are authorized in 15A NCAC 02B .0703 within the
USGS 8-digit HUC 03020201, excluding the Falls Lake Watershed. The Sponsor maintains three credit
ledgers. One ledger accounts for buffer restoration credits, one ledger accounts for buffer preservation and
enhancement credits, and one accounts for nitrogen nutrient offset credits. All mitigation credit assets shall
be shown on these credit ledgers. The total potential riparian buffer and nutrient offset mitigation credits
that the Hannah Bridge Bank generates are summarized below.

Hannah Bridge 3 Year 5 Monitoring Report
Mitigation Site October 2023
Table 1. Hannah Bridge Mitigation Credits

*According to 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o) (4) and (5), “the area of preservation credit within a buffer
mitigation site shall comprise of no more than 25% of the total area of buffer mitigation”.

All riparian restoration in the table above is generated on land determined by DWR as being agricultural.
Therefore, the 4.585 acres (199,724.56 ft²) of Neuse riparian buffer restoration credits shown in the table
above, can be used for either Neuse riparian buffer credits or Nitrogen nutrient offset credits, but not both.
Neither riparian buffer preservation nor enhancement credits can be converted into nutrient offset credits.
The Sponsor must submit a written request and receive written approval from DWR prior to any credit
conversions and transfers to the buffer and nutrient offset credit ledgers. With each conversion and transfer
request submitted to the DWR, the Sponsor is to provide all updated credit ledgers showing all transactions
that have occurred up to the date of the request.

1.4 Riparian Restoration Approach

The land use adjacent to most of the streams on the Bank Parcel was pasture. Neuse riparian buffer
restoration was used for riparian buffer credit in cultivated areas while enhancement or preservation was
used in forested areas. All riparian restoration areas were planted from top of bank back at least 50 feet
from the stream with bare root tree seedlings on an 8 by 8 foot spacing to achieve an initial density of 680
trees per acre. The buffered channels provide water quality and habitat functions within the sensitive Neuse
River watershed. Rapidly regenerating species and invasive species may develop greater individual species

density and create a less diverse mix. During the site visit on April 16, 2015, DWR determined the upstream
portion of reach TH3 to be a ditch, while the downstream portion was a stream. The portion classified as a
ditch is only viable for nutrient offset credits. All disturbed areas within the easement were planted with
native wetland vegetation and livestock will be excluded with fencing installed along the easement
boundary.

Buffer enhancement occurred in areas where grazing was adjacent to the stream in accordance with the
Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(6). This includes areas adjacent to reaches
HB1 and HB4. RES installed cattle exclusion fencing to exclude access to riparian areas and their associated
streams. All fencing was installed to NRCS specifications. Some areas adjacent to the forested areas may
require maintenance due to the rapid regeneration of some species, such as red maple (Acer rubrum) and
sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua). Minimal maintenance is anticipated due to the past cultivation
history. Buffer enhancement can only generate buffer mitigation credit and is not transferrable into nutrient
offset credits.

HF1 and HF2 are in forested areas where cattle were not observed to be present and are subject to the Neuse
Buffer Protection Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0233 and therefore generate preservation buffer mitigation credit
under 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (n) and (o)(5). Preservation activities ensure that the buffer is permanently
protected from cutting, clearing, filling, grading, and similar activities that would affect the functioning of
the buffer. Where HF2 flows into an oversized, channelized ditch nutrient credits are generated.
Preservation buffer credits also are generated in reaches HB1, HB3, HB4, and TH3 when restoration
activities occur in forested areas. Buffer preservation can only generate buffer mitigation credit and is not
transferrable into nutrient offset credits.

1.5 Construction and As-Built Conditions

Revegetation of the site included treating invasive species and planting native hardwood bare root trees.
Prior to planting, RES prepped the site by spraying and ripping the easement. Coastal Plain Small Stream
Swamp is the target community type and was used for all areas within the project. The community is defined
by Schafale (2012). The planting of bare root trees occurred in April and May 2019. Deviations from the
initial planting plan were due to bare root availability. A list of the planted species can be found in Table
2.
Stream construction activities were completed in May 2019. The site was constructed in accordance with
the Approved Mitigation Plan and associated permits and the construction was approved by the IRT on a
site visit in July 2019. RES acquired 404 (SAW-2015-01799), 401 (DWR # 17-0537), and NPDES Erosion
and Sediment Control Plan (JC# 18-040-P) Permits. There were no easement changes between BPDP
approval and construction. The small change in crediting is due to a more accurate tree line survey being
used to generate the as-built credits. The conservation easement is marked every 150-200 feet with North
Carolina Wildlife Habitat Foundation signs attached to either fences or t-posts. Fences were installed in
areas where livestock is present, and t-posts are used as physical barriers where livestock is not present.

1.6 Year 5 Monitoring Performance

The Hannah Bridge Year 5 Monitoring (MY5) activities were completed in September 2023. All MY5 data
is present below and in the appendices. The Site is on track to meeting vegetation and stream interim success
criteria.

Ten permanent vegetation plots (VP) and three random vegetation plots (RVP) were monitored during
September 2023. Vegetation tables are in Appendix B and associated photos are in Appendix C. MY5
data indicates that all 13 plots are exceeding the interim success criteria of 260 planted stems per acre.
Hannah Bridge 5 Year 5 Monitoring Report
Mitigation Site October 2023
Planted stem densities ranged from 324 to 769 planted stems per acre with a mean of 570 planted stems per
acre across all plots. A total of 16 species were documented within the plots. Volunteer species were noted
in six plots. The average tree height observed was 12.9 feet. Visual assessment of vegetation outside of the
monitoring plots indicates that the herbaceous vegetation is becoming well established throughout the
project. Survivorship of the trees planted in 2022 near VP16 is high. No new areas of low stem density were
noted in 2023. A few areas of Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua),
and loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) were noted during monitoring activities, most notable near Veg plots 8 and
17. These areas will be treated before the 2024 growing season.

Visual assessment of the boundary was conducted in Spring and Fall of 2023 and showed only one small
corner of encroachment near VP17 where a corner marker is missing. This will be re-installed before the
2024 growing season.

2.0 Methods

Vegetation success is being monitored at 10 permanent monitoring plots. Vegetation plot monitoring
follows the CVS-EEP Level 2 Protocol for Recording Vegetation (Lee et al. 2008) and includes analysis of
species composition and density of planted species. Data is processed using the CVS data entry tool. In the
field, the four corners of each plot were permanently marked with PVC at the origin and metal conduit at
the other corners. Photos of each plot are to be taken from the origin each monitoring year. Additionally,
RES will conduct three 100 m2 vegetation transects in each year starting in MY2 and ending in MY5. One
transect will be placed entirely within the nutrient offset area near VP 3, one transect will be placed entirely
within the nutrient offset area near VP6, and one transect will be placed entirely within the nutrient offset
area near and VP12. The vegetation transects are to include the same vegetation data as the permanent
monitoring plots. DWR requested the vegetation transects as a result of the permanent vegetation plots
being installed half in the nutrient offset area and half in the wetland mitigation area.
