1.0 Introduction
1.1 Project Description
The Sassarixa Swamp II Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel (Parcel) is part of Wildlands
Holdings III, LLC, (Sponsor) Sassarixa Swamp II Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank (Bank). The
development of the Parcel was in conjunction with the NC Division of Mitigation Services (NCDMS)
Sassarixa Swamp Stream and Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site (DWR Project No. 2018‐00432). The project
includes four unnamed tributaries, one ditch, and an ephemeral channel to Sassarixa Creek and six
unnamed tributaries to Black Creek. The project drains directly into Holts Lake, which drains to the
Neuse River. The Parcel location is depicted in Figure 1. The purpose of the Parcel is to provide riparian
buffer mitigation 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 Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03020201
excluding the Falls Lake Watershed. The Bank service area is depicted in Figure 2.
Prior to construction, the majority of the Parcel lacked riparian buffer except a few areas with mature
loblolly pine forest along T1 and a mixed hardwood forest along T6. The Parcel is located immediately
adjacent to the NCDMS Sassarixa Swamp Stream and Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site (NCDMS ID No.
100040). The NCDMS project includes a conservation easement area that extends 50 feet from the top
of bank of the mitigated streams. The Parcel’s conservation easement area extends beyond the DMS
easement, for a maximum of 200 feet from the top of bank of the mitigated stream. The Parcel was
restored to provide ecological and water quality enhancements to the Neuse River Basin by creating a
functional riparian corridor. Approximately 26.67 acres have been protected with a permanent
conservation easement along ten unnamed tributaries (T1, T1A, T1B, T3, T4, T5, T5A, T5B, T5C, and T6).
A conservation easement was recorded on the Parcel in April 2020.
1.2 Bank Sponsor
The Sassarixa Swamp II Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel is a part of the Bank. The
Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI) for the Bank was signed in December 2019.

1.4 Project Location
The Parcel is located in Johnston County approximately six miles southwest of Smithfield and five miles
north of Four Oaks (Figure 1). The Parcel involves riparian restoration on ten unnamed tributaries (T1,
T1A, T1B, T3, T4, T5, T5A, T5B, T5C, and T6) in accordance with the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rules
(15A NCAC 02B .0295). The Parcel is located within the Neuse River Basin HUC 03020201130030 and
North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) Subbasin 03‐04‐04 and was restored for riparian
buffer mitigation credit and nutrient offset credit in the Neuse River Basin HUC 03020201 (excluding
Falls Lake) (Figure 2).
From Raleigh take I‐40 E. Take exit 319 for NC‐210 toward Smithfield/Angier. Turn left onto NC‐210 E
(signs for Smithfield). Continue on NC‐210 E for 2.4 miles and turn right onto Lassiter Road. After 4.6
miles, turn left onto Black Creek Road. Continue on Black Creek Road for 0.7 miles and then turn right
onto Old Olive Road. The first parcel is 0.1 mile on the right of Old Olive Road. The other parcels are at
various locations further down Old Olive Road.
1.5 Project Design
Approximately 26.67 acres are protected in a conservation easement. The Parcel will generate 23.38
acres of Neuse riparian buffer credits. Additionally, the Parcel will generate 3.11 acres of nutrient offset
credits, which creates 7,061.752 pounds of nitrogen credits. Credit generation is shown in Figure 3. The
revegetation plan for the Parcel included the 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). 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 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 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
planted stems, and an established density of at least 260 trees per acre at the end of the fifth year of
monitoring.
For coastal headwater buffer restoration areas under Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(2) the vegetative
success criteria are the survival of 260 planted stems per acre at the end of year five and 210 planted
stems per acre at the end of year seven. Success for coastal headwaters vegetation is also tied to the
success of the coastal headwater on site, T5C. As stated in the NCDMS Sassarixa Swamp Mitigation Plan,
visual monitoring will take place for seven years to insure T5C stays a coastal headwater and will be
reported in the closeout Monitoring Reports for both the NCDMS Mitigation Site and the Sassarixa
Swamp II Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel.
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 densities or are otherwise deficient,
supplemental planting shall be performed with tree and shrub 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) Protocol (Level II) such that at least 2 percent of the Parcel is encompassed in monitoring plots. A
total of 19 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 and GPS points were taken at each of the corners.
Monitoring plot locations are shown in Figure 4. 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 2 stem count are
summarized in Appendix C.

2.3 Results of Vegetation Monitoring
The 19 vegetation plots were sampled in September 2023 at the end of the third 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 plot monitoring resulted in an average planted stem density of 420 stems per acre
with individual plot densities ranging from 283 to 728 stems per acre. All nineteen vegetation plots are
on track to meet the final success criteria of 260 stems per acre. When including volunteers, the average
stem density is 1,012 stems per acre, with individual plot densities ranging from 324 to 5,382 stems per
acre. Additionally, the majority of recorded stems are healthy, with a vigor of either good (3) or
excellent (4). Vegetation plots 9, 13, and 17 have a high number of sweetgum volunteers, however,
these volunteers do not appear to be outcompeting the planted trees. These areas will be monitored in
subsequent years and remedial actions will be taken if sweetgum volunteers begin to outcompete
planted trees.

2.4 Easement Boundary Monitoring
Conservation easement boundaries were inspected throughout monitoring year 3. Boundary markers
remain intact throughout the easement and fencing within cattle exclusion areas remains in good
condition. No evidence of encroachment was observed throughout the Parcel.
2.5 Parcel Adaptive Management
The previous monitoring year (MY2) visual inspection showed higher than expected tree mortality along
parts of T1, the ditch above T3, T4, T5A, and T5C due to dry conditions within the Parcel. In February
Sassarixa Swamp II Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel Page 6
Monitoring Year 3 Report
2023 a total of 2,540 additional stems were planted on 8.51 acres in Monitoring Year 3. Species planted,
as well as their counts and source are included in Table 6. Ring sprays were completed throughout the
replanted area and soil amendments were applied locally to replanted trees to reduce competition and
aid planted stem success. Ring sprays and soil amendments will be completed in MY4 in the replanted
areas as well as any areas where the herbaceous vegetation is affecting tree growth.
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.

2.6 Conclusions
The 2023 vegetation monitoring data reflects that overall, the Parcel is on trajectory to achieve final
vegetative success criteria of 260 stems per acre by the end of monitoring year 5. All nineteen
vegetation plots exceed the vegetation success criteria. The Parcel has an average stem density of 420
planted stems per acre, with plots ranging from 283 to 728 stems per acre. When including volunteers,
the average stem density is 1,012 stems per acre, with individual plot densities ranging from 324 to
5,382 stems per acre. The majority of recorded stems appear healthy, scoring either 3 or 4 on vigor.
Additionally, herbaceous vegetation has established across the Parcel along with several pollinator
species. The Parcel will continue to be assessed and further remedial actions will be taken if deemed
necessary.
