Eco Terra, LLC I Britt & Hales Nutrient Offset & Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site
1.0 Mitigation Project Summary
1.1 Introduction
The Britt & Hales Nutrient Offset & Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site (Parcel) is located near Mount
Olive, NC, in the Upper Falling Creek watershed of the Neuse River Basin. The project site is
approximately 6.5 miles northwest of the Town of Mount Olive and 1.7 miles south of US Highway
13 on McArthur Pond Road in Wayne County, NC (Figure 1). The Bank Parcel Development
Package (BPDP) was approved under the Britt and Hales Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI)
between the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) and Eco Terra, LLC, the Bank
Sponsor (Eco Terra or Sponsor).
The Parcel is approximately 24.7 acres (ac) or 1,076,524 square feet (sf) of a 180-ac tract that
encompasses a series of forked, interconnected ditches and unnamed tributaries to Falling Creek.
The project is located within the Neuse River Basin hydrological unit code (HUC) 03020201,
excluding the Falls Watershed. The BPDP was approved for riparian buffer and nutrient offset
credit in the service area designated by Neuse River Basin HUC 03020201, excluding the Falls
Watershed (Figure 2). The Parcel is in the headwaters of three unnamed tributaries and three
agricultural ditches that converge and flow into an unnamed tributary to Falling Creek,
approximately 1.8 miles downstream of the project area, and subsequently into the Neuse River.
According to the as -built survey and most recent, at time of BPDP review and approval, DWR
Buffer Mitigation Calculation Tool V.5 (updated November 2022), the Parcel is expected to
generate 333,957.870 riparian buffer credits (RBC) and 33,148.872 pounds (Ibs) of nitrogen
nutrient offset credits (NOC).
The Parcel addresses agricultural runoff by reducing sediment and nutrient loading into the
unnamed tributaries and Falling Creek. Falling Creek is classified as Water Supply (WS-IV) and
Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW) by NCDWR with an impairment for dissolved oxygen. The project
area and surrounding areas are open agricultural land, primarily farmed for row crops. The project
improves terrestrial habitats along the streams and ditches by establishing and preserving the
riparian buffers and adjacent riparian areas and allowing the land to undergo a natural succession
to a forested community. The project restores forested riparian buffers and adjacent riparian areas
a minimum width of 50 feet from tops of banks and extend out to a maximum of approximately
200 feet from the project features (streams and ditches) and will remove rotating crops and
fertilizer inputs. The restored riparian buffer and adjacent riparian areas filters agricultural runoff
from the surrounding farm fields and provide shading to reduce stream temperatures and
improve aquatic habitat. Invasive vegetation will be managed as needed within the project area
to promote native vegetation.
1.2 Project Goals
The major goal of the proposed buffer and adjacent riparian area restoration is to improve water
quality through ecological enhancements within the Neuse River Basin. This is being
accomplished with specific goals to address agricultural runoff, including nutrients and sediment,

Protect project in perpetuity
Implement and record a conservation easement on the
Parcel.
1.3 Existing Conditions and Parcel Viability
The restored Parcel has converted approximately 22.2 acres of agricultural row crop fields to
forested buffers and riparian areas along three unnamed tributaries (UT1, UT2 and UT3) and three
agricultural ditches (Ditch Al, 131 and 132). Additionally, this project will preserve approximately
0.2 acres of existing forested riparian area along UT1. All credit areas have been protected in
perpetuity by a recorded conservation easement of approximately 24.7 acres in total area. Refer
to Figure 3 and Appendix A for the Credit Generation & Vegetation Plot Map.
Ditch Al emerges from a farm road to the south of the Parcel, flows north along the eastern
border of the Parcel before turning west through the project area transitioning into UT1. UT1, an
intermittent stream, continues to flow west, turns to the north before it merges with UT2 which
continues northward as UT3 to the Parcel terminus. Ditches 131 and B2 flow east and west,
respectively, until the transition/confluence with UT2, an intermittent stream. UT2 flows west to
the confluence with Ditch 132, turns north and then northeast through the site until its confluence
with UT1. It should be noted the centerline of Ditch Al forms the eastern boundary of the
conservation easement. The Parcel is composed of and surrounded entirely by agricultural fields
with the exception of two small wetland areas with existing trees and vegetation that have been
preserved along UT1 and Ditch Al.
Project attributes associated with the Parcel are outlined in Table 2.

NCDWR staff visited the project Parcel on March 4, 2022 to review features and determine
applicability to the Neuse River Basin Riparian Area Protection Rules, Title 15A NCAC 02B .0714.
NCDWR issued the official Stream Call Determination letter on April 19, 2022. On May 19, 2022,
NCDWR staff re -visited the site to determine the potential for riparian buffer mitigation and
nutrient offset within the proposed easement boundary per 15A NCAC 02B .0295 and 15A NCAC
02B .0703, respectively. NCDWR issued the official Site Viability letter on June 15, 2022. A copy
of both the "Applicability to the Neuse River Basin Buffer Rules" and "Site Viability for Buffer
Mitigation and Nutrient Offset" letters issued by NCDWR are provided in Appendix B. NCDWR
staff visited the project Parcel on May 8, 2023 to verify as -built conditions.
2.0 Restoration Activities
2.1 Parcel Preparation
The existing erosion and sink hole noted as areas of concern in the Site Viability for Buffer
Mitigation & Nutrient Offset letter dated June 15, 2022 were stabilized with minor bank grading,
and temporary and permanent seeding. Bank stabilization was applied to isolated areas along
the banks of Ditch B1, UT2 and where the 30-inch RCP culvert was removed and relocated out of
the easement. Additionally, the concrete debris and trash that existed along the forested area
that was converted to a riparian preservation area was removed and stabilized with hand -planted
trees and temporary and permanent seeding.

eCOlerrC. HUC 03020201, Excluding Falls Watershed October 2023

Eco Terra, LLC I Britt & Hales Nutrient Offset & Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site
Prior to the riparian restoration, the land was in agricultural row crop production, therefore the
site preparation required minimal soil disturbance. Soil ripping occurred in mechanically planted
rows to break up plow pans and compacted soils and where farm paths were planted. A limited
number of invasive plants were present and treated with an aquatic -safe herbicide that was
applied by a licensed NC pesticide applicator.
2.2 Restoration Activities
The Parcel was planted between March 30 and April 1, 2023, in accordance with the draft BPDP
and MBI, which were ultimately approved April 21, 2023. The entire area proposed for restoration
and development of nutrient offset and riparian buffer credits was planted with native tree species
and permanent seeding to convert the active farming area to a vegetated riparian corridor.
Because the land within the Parcel had been historically used for agricultural row crop production,
it required minimal soil disturbance to install the plants. Planting activities utilized both
mechanical and manual methods depending on site conditions. Bare root trees were well mixed
in the bags prior to being planted to ensure adequate distribution across the Parcel and installed
at an approximate spacing of 6 feet by 10 feet. It is expected that the initial planted density will
be sufficient in meeting the performance standards outlined in the Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 and
in the approved MBI of 260 trees per acre at the end of five years. Table 3 provides a summary
of the tree species and permanent seeding planted along with their density and composition
which matches the proposed planting plan in the approved BPDP.

3.0 Project Credit Potential
The potential project credits are based on the top of bank of the three unnamed tributaries (UT1,
UT2 and UT3) and three agricultural ditches (Ditch Al, B1 and B2). All areas within 200-linear feet
landward of the top of bank were planted (with the exception of the preservation area adjacent
to UT1) and accounted as either riparian buffer credit or nutrient offset credit with the exception
of the area where diffuse flow cannot be attained from Ditch Al. The entire conservation
easement boundary was planted; however, a credit deduction has been calculated for the 60-
degree angle where Ditch Al enters the easement boundary. Refer to Figure 3 for a depiction of
the Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Credit areas for the Parcel. Riparian restoration adjacent
to the streams is primarily intended to be used to generate RBC out to 100 feet and to generate
NOCs beyond 100 feet in width. RBC's generated from preservation areas are capped at 25% of
the total area. The Parcel's preservation area represents 1.9% of total area. Riparian restoration
adjacent to the ditches will be used to generate NOC because they are not viable to generate RBC.
Potential mitigation credits are based upon the most recent, at time of BPDP review and approval,
NCDWR Buffer Mitigation Calculation Tool v5 (updated November 2022) and the as -built survey
(Appendix Q. There were no major deviations from the approved BPDP. Credit calculations based
on the as -built survey resulted in a slight reduction in credit area from what was previously
calculated via GIS in the approved BPDP. This equated to a reduction of 0.835 Ibs N NOC and
411.914 RBC's. The project's credit potential is depicted in the Project Credit Table (Table 5,
Appendix A).
4.0 Annual Monitoring and Performance Criteria
The maintenance and monitoring plan has been developed to demonstrate required performance
standards and success criteria are met and project goals and objectives are achieved.
4.1 Performance Standards
The performance standards for the project follow approved criteria presented in the Buffer
Mitigation Rule (15A NCAC 02B .0295). Annual monitoring and semi-annual site visits will be
conducted to assess the condition of the finished project. Performance standards will be
evaluated throughout the five-year post -construction monitoring period and summarized
annually in the monitoring report. The annual report will provide project data and chronicle issues
that arise during the five-year monitoring period. The first growing period will be documented in
the first annual report to be completed in the fall 2023. Eco Terra will submit annual monitoring
reports to NCDWR by December 31 st of each year for at least 5 consecutive years until project
�`� Britt & Hales As -Built & Baseline Monitoring Report 8
eCOlerrC. HUC 03020201, Excluding Falls Watershed October 2023

Eco Terra, LLC I Britt & Hales Nutrient Offset & Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site
close-out and will follow the terms and conditions of the approved Britt & Hales MBI. Although
the approved credit release schedule has been modified due to cited non-compliance with the
Parcel (see Section 6.0 for more details), the vegetation data for Monitoring Year 1 will be
submitted to NCDWR by December 31, 2023 despite no credit release for Year 1. Performance
criteria includes standardized vegetation plot establishment and annual monitoring for planted
stems including individual plot photo documentation, overall site photo documentation, biannual
visual assessments for project status and easement integrity including herbaceous and/or invasive
species competition, stem mortality, stand health, incidental damage from agricultural equipment,
and stem loss or damage from natural causes such as fire, disease, or animal impacts. Figure 3
(Appendix A) illustrates the location of the project easement, permanent vegetation plots/photo
points, as well as overall site photo points.
4.2 Vegetation
Eighteen (18) 10-meter by 10-meter permanent vegetation plots were established according to
the most recent Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) — NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP)
Protocol for Recording Vegetation, V4.2 (2008). Representative vegetation plots were established
within the restored riparian buffer and adjacent riparian areas at a minimum density of 2% of the
planted area. In order to meet performance standards and determine stem health, species, height,
planting date and vigor have been documented for each monitoring plot. Vegetation assessments
were completed in April 2023 following the CVS-EEP Level I protocol. Baseline data collection
resulted in a planted stem density ranging from 526 - 809 stems per acre which surpasses the
performance standard requiring survival of 260 stems per acre at the end of the five-year
monitoring period. Baseline or monitoring year zero (MYO) vegetation stem data is included in
Table 6 (Appendix D).
Additional vegetative success criteria to ensure that plots are diverse is the survival of at least four
native hardwood tree species where no one species represents more than 50% of the planted
stems. The Parcel's baseline plot data shows 12 native hardwood species with a minimum of 4
distinct species per plot and an individual species maximum equal to 47% percent composition
of the planted stems. Upon NCDWR approval, desirable native volunteer species may be included
in the overall tree density for the Parcel to meet performance standards and success criteria.
4.3 Photo Reference Stations
The vegetation plots were photographed from the southwest corner (origin) of each plot. Nine
additional Parcel reference photos were taken at designated points along the conservation
easement boundary providing an overall view of the Parcel and documenting project success.
Refer to Appendix D and E for vegetation plot and Parcel reference photo documentation,
respectively. All photo points locations were georeferenced for map production to provide a
consistent means for photo replication annually and in the event a plot or photo location must be
reestablished during the monitoring period. Photo orientation (direction and/or bearing) were
recorded as well as approximate vertical position for consistency in photo logging.

eCOlerrC. HUC 03020201, Excluding Falls Watershed October 2023

Eco Terra, LLC I Britt & Hales Nutrient Offset & Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site
4.4 Visual Assessments
Additional observations were made of site conditions and vegetation conditions for the restored
areas outside of the monitoring plots. This biannual effort will be made to appropriately monitor
changing site conditions and address any issues ensuring Bank success and performance criteria
are met after the monitoring period. Any site problems will be noted and discussed in the annual
reports and monitored biannually to ensure performance criteria are met following any remedial
action.
4.5 Annual Reporting Performance Criteria
All monitoring reports, including this baseline report, will be compiled and submitted to NCDWR
annually in accordance with the approved MBI. Annual monitoring will occur for a minimum of
five years or until performance criteria are met.
4.6 Parcel Maintenance
Any site observations identified through the vegetation plot monitoring or visual assessments,
whereby performance criteria is not being met, will be documented in the annual reports with
recommended adaptive measures. NCDWR will be notified, and if necessary, Eco Terra will
collaborate with NCDWR to develop the adaptive measures or remedial actions for
implementation to correct the performance criteria deficiency. Any adaptive measures
implemented will be designed to achieve the performance success criteria and monitoring
measures will be adjusted accordingly, if necessary. Any Parcel maintenance activities will be
included in annual monitoring reports. As noted in the approved BPDP, effective herbicide
application is critical to success of restoration areas, primarily historical agricultural land.
Herbicides approved for aquatic environments will be applied as necessary and in accordance with
the NCDA rules and regulations by a qualified NC licensed pesticide/herbicide applicator. Prior
approval from NCDWR is required if mowing within Zones 1 and 2 of the Neuse River basin buffers
is deemed necessary.
4.7 Parcel Boundary Maintenance
Conservation easement boundaries were marked in the field with 6-foot U-channel posts to
ensure clear distinction between the Parcel and adjacent properties. Long-term stewardship signs
were attached to the posts and placed at approximate 200-foot intervals along the outer
perimeter of the Parcel to identify the conservation easement. All easement boundaries will be
visually assessed twice per year as part of the monitoring protocol. Boundary markers incidentally
destroyed, damaged or disturbed will be repaired and/or replaced as needed during the
monitoring period and in the future under the long-term trustee management. Any easement
encroachment or performed maintenance will be documented in the annual monitoring reports.

5.0 Financial Assurances
After BPDP approval and prior to the first credit release, Eco Terra, LLC secured a
Performance/Maintenance bond in the penal amount of 100 percent of the estimated cost, but
not less than $150,000. The Financial Assurance was fully approved by NCDWR and signed by Mr.
Richard Rogers Jr., NCDWR Director, on May 16, 2023. Upon NCDWR approval, the penal sum
may be lowered each year based on the adjusted cost to complete monitoring activities.
Performance bonds for monitoring shall be secured annually for a minimum of five (5) years to
cover the next year's monitoring period, with confirmation of renewal provided to NCDWR with
each annual monitoring report (when applicable). The Performance/Maintenance bond will be in
place until NCDWR has released all RBC and NOC to the Bank Sponsor. A copy of the secured
Performance/Maintenance bond is provided in Appendix G.
6.0 Compliance Action Plan
The Parcel was initially planted from March 30 to April 1, 2023. Parcel preparation activities
(vegetation plot installations, easement boundary demarcation and signage) occurred on March
29, 2023. Eco Terra acknowledges that these actions took place prior to written NCDWR approval
of the Britt & Hales MBI and BPDP on April 21, 2023. On May 4, 2023 NCDWR issued a Notification
of Non -Compliance to Eco Terra, LLC for commencing mitigation activities prior to receiving
NCDWR approval of the Britt & Hales MBI and BPDP. The NCDWR Non -Compliance
correspondence is included in Appendix B. A timeline of all the activities, notifications, and
approvals associated with the project is presented in Table 4.

Address: 150 Mcarthur Pond Rd., Mount Olive, NC 28365, Wayne County
Location: Lat., Long: 35.254653,-78.164589
Dear Mr. Burbage:
On March 4, 2022, Shelton Sullivan of the Division of Water Resources (DWR) conducted an
on -site review of features located on the Britt & Hales Buffer Mitigation Site in Wayne County
to determine the applicability of features on the site to the Neuse River Basin Riparian Area
Protection Rules, Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 02B .0714.
The enclosed map(s) depict the feature(s) evaluated and this information is also summarized
in the table below. Streams were evaluated for being ephemeral, at least intermittent, and
for subjectivity to the Neuse River Basin Riparian Area Protection Rules. Streams that are
considered "Subject" have been located on the most recently published County NRCS Soil
Survey and/or the most recent copy of the USGS Topographic (at 1:24,000 scale) map(s),
have been located on the ground at the site, and possess characteristics that qualify them to
be at least intermittent streams. Features that are considered "Not Subject" have been
determined to not be at least intermittent, not present on the property, or not depicted on
the required maps.
This determination only addresses the applicability to the buffer rules within the
proposed easement and does not approve any activity within buffers or within waters
of the state. There may be other streams or features located on the property that
appear or do not appear on the maps referenced above. Any of the features on the site
may be considered jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of Engineers and
subject to the Clean Water Act.
The following table addresses the features observed and rated during the DWR site visit. See
the attached site map for the labeled features.

Wayne County
Dear Mr. Burbage,
On April 27, 2022, Katie Merritt, with the Division of Water Resources (DWR), received a request
from you on behalf of EcoTerra Partners, LLC (EcoTerra) for a site visit near the above -referenced
site in the Neuse River Basin within the 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Code 03020201. The site visit was
to determine the potential for riparian buffer mitigation and nutrient offset adjacent to features within
a proposed conservation easement boundary, which are more accurately depicted in the attached
maps labeled "Figure 1" and "Figure 2" prepared by EcoTerra and edited by DWR. The proposed
easement boundary includes all riparian areas intended to be proposed as part of the mitigation site.
On May 19, 2022, Ms. Merritt performed a site assessment of the subject site. Staff with EcoTerra
were also present.
Ms. Merritt's evaluation of the features onsite and their associated mitigation determination for the
riparian areas are provided in the table below. This evaluation was made from Top of Bank JOB)
and landward 200' from each feature for buffer mitigation pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295
(effective November 1, 2015) and for nutrient offset credits pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0703.

1:24,000 scale quadrangle topographic map prepared by USGS and the most recent printed version of the soil survey map prepared by
the NRCS .
ZThe area of preservation credit within a buffer mitigation site shall comprise of no more than 25 percent (25%) of the total area of buffer
mitigation per 15A NCAC 0295 (o)(5) and 15A NCAC 0295 (o)(4). Site cannot be a Preservation Only site to comply with this rule.
3NC Division of Water Resources - Methodology and Calculations for determining Nutrient Reductions associated with Riparian Buffer
Establishment
a Determinations made for this Site are determined based on the proposal provided in maps and figures submitted with the request.
s All features proposed for buffer mitigation or nutrient offset, must have a planted conservation easement established that includes the
tops of channel banks when being measured perpendicular and landward from the banks, even if no credit is viable within that riparian
area.
'The area of the mitigation site on ephemeral channels shall comprise no more than 25 percent (25%) of the total area of buffer
mitigation per 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(7).
7The area described as an Enhancement Site was assessed and determined to comply with all of 15A NCAC 02B .0295(o)(6). Cattle
exclusion fencing is required to be installed around the mitigation area to get buffer credit under this part of the rule.
Determinations provided in the table above were made using a proposed easement boundary showing
proposed mitigation areas and features shown in Figure 2 and Figure 1 respectively. The map
representing the proposal for the site is attached to this letter and initialed by Ms. Merritt on June 15,
2022. Substantial changes to the proposed easement boundary as well as any site constraints
identified in this letter, could affect the Site's potential to generate buffer mitigation and nutrient
offset credits.

This letter does not constitute an approval of this Site to generate buffer and nutrient offset credits.
Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295, a mitigation proposal and a mitigation plan shall be submitted to
DWR for written approval prior to conducting any mitigation activities in riparian areas and/or
surface waters for buffer mitigation credit. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0703, a proposal regarding a
proposed nutrient load -reducing measure for nutrient offset credit shall be submitted to DWR for
approval prior to any mitigation activities in riparian areas and/or surface waters.
All vegetative plantings, performance criteria and other mitigation requirements for riparian
restoration, enhancement and preservation must follow the requirements in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 to
be eligible for buffer and/or nutrient offset mitigation credits. For any areas depicted as not being
viable for nutrient offset credit above, one could propose a different measure, along with supporting
calculations and sufficient detail to support estimates of load reduction, for review by the DWR to
determine viability for nutrient offset in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0703.
This viability assessment will expire on June 15, 2024 or upon approval of a mitigation plan by
the DWR, whichever comes first. This letter should be provided in any nutrient offset, buffer,

Britt & Hales Nutrient Offset & Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site
Neuse River Basin HUC 03020201 (excluding the Falls Watershed)
Wayne County, NC
NCDWR Project #: 2022-0293 v2
Eco Terra is providing written notification that all nutrient offset and riparian buffer
activities have been completed at the Britt & Hales Nutrient Offset & Riparian Buffer
Mitigation Site per the requirements of the approved Mitigation Banking Instrument
(MBI). Eco Terra is requesting a site visit by DWR to complete the requirements of MBI
Task 2 for credit release.
The Britt & Hales Nutrient Offset & Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site (Parcel) is located near
Mount Olive, NC, in the Upper Falling Creek watershed of the Neuse River Basin. The
project site is approximately 6.5 miles northwest of the Town of Mount Olive and 1.7
miles south of US Highway 13 on McArthur Pond Road in Wayne County, NC (Figure 1).
The Parcel is approximately 24.7 acres (1,076,524 sf) of a 180-acre tract that
encompasses a series of forked, interconnected ditches and unnamed tributaries to
Falling Creek. The Parcel was restored to provide ecological and water quality
enhancements to the Neuse River Basin HUC 03020201, excluding the Falls Watershed
(Figure 2) by restoring and preserving riparian buffers and adjacent riparian areas along
three unnamed tributaries (UT1, UT2 and UT3) and three ditches (Ditch Al, 131 and 132).
The Parcel provides riparian buffer mitigation credits by protecting the riparian area from
top of bank to a minimum 30-foot width and maximum 100-foot width along the
117 Centrewest Court, Cary, NC 27513 1 EcoTerra.com

streams (UT1, UT2 and UT3). Buffer mitigation credits are also generated through
preservation of a riparian area adjacent to UT1 for a minimum 30-foot width and
maximum 200-ft width. The Parcel provides nutrient offset credits by protecting the
riparian area from the 100-foot offset from top of banks along the streams and minimum
50-foot width along the ditches, to a maximum 200-foot width (Figure 7). Tables 1 and 2
provide project attributes and viability information.

The Parcel was planted between March 30 and April 1, 2023, in accordance with the
approved Bank Parcel Development Package (BPDP) and MBI. The entire area proposed
for restoration and development of nutrient offset and riparian buffer credits was
planted with native tree species and permanent seeding. The land within the Parcel had
historically been used for agricultural row crop production, therefore minimal soil
disturbance was required to install the plants. Planting activities utilized both mechanical
and manual methods. Soil ripping occurred in mechanically planted rows to break up
plow pans and compacted soils and where farm paths were planted. Areas immediately
adjacent to the top of banks were not ripped to prevent soil erosion and runoff from
entering the surface water. A limited number of invasive plants were present and treated
with an aquatic -safe herbicide that was applied by a licensed NC pesticide applicator.
Bare root trees were well mixed in the bags prior to being planted and installed at a
spacing of 6 feet by 10 feet, resulting in a stem density of 720 stems per acre. Table 3
provides a summary of the tree species planted along with their density and composition
which matches the proposed planting plan in the approved BPDP.

The existing erosion and sink hole noted as areas of concern in the Site Viability for
Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset letter dated 6/15/2022 were stabilized with minor
bank grading, and temporary and permanent seeding. It was determined that erosion
control matting was not necessary which is a deviation from what was proposed for
stabilization in the approved BPDP. Bank stabilization was applied to isolated areas
along the banks of Ditch 131, UT2 and where the 30-inch RCP culvert was removed and
relocated out of the easement. Additionally, the cement, debris and trash noted in the
letter was also removed from the riparian preservation area.
Following planting, permanent vegetation monitoring plots were established within the
restoration areas to document the survival and vigor of planted trees. A total of eighteen
(18) plots were positioned within the planted restoration area according to Figure 7 in
the approved BPDP. The vegetation plots are marked in the field by PVC pipes installed
at each corner of the approximate 10-meter by 10-meter plot.
Easement boundaries were marked in the field with 6-foot U-channel posts to ensure
clear distinction between the Parcel and adjacent properties. Long-term stewardship
signs were attached to the posts and placed at approximate 200-foot intervals along the
outer perimeter of the Parcel to identify the conservation easement. There are no
changes to the conservation easement boundary nor the amount of Riparian Buffer and
Nutrient Offset Credits from what was proposed in the approved BPDP.
Photographs were taken within the vegetation plots and at select points to document
the conservation easement boundary as depicted in the Monitoring Map (Figure 9). A
selection of photographs is attached.

Good Afternoon Michael,
DWR received the attached documentation from McAdams notifying DWR that the Britt & Hales site was fully planted and
ready for DWR to assess site conditions for the Task 2 milestone according to the MBI. According to the attached
notification letter, Eco Terra planted this site March 30, 2023 & April 1, 2023. The Bank Parcel Development Package
(BPDP) was approved on April 21, 2023 and the Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI) was signed by Eco Terra on March
31, 2023 and DWR on April 21, 2023.
Eco Terra did not have an approved Banking Instrument (required under 15A NCAC 02B .0295 and 15A NCAC 02B
.0703), nor did they have an approved BPDP for the site (required under 15A NCAC 02B .0295 and 15A NCAC 02B
.0703) prior to conducting activities for buffer mitigation and nutrient offset credits. Both rules referenced above clearly
state that an approved plan by DWR is required prior to conducting activities for buffer mitigation or nutrient offset credits.
Secondly, Eco Terra submitted an MBI and BPDP to DWR that contained inaccurate and falsified information.
Eco Terra is in non-compliance with 15A NCAC 02B .0295
Eco Terra is in non-compliance with 15A NCAC 02B .0703
Eco Terra is in non-compliance with the Approved Britt & Hales BPDP - submitted to DWR by Eco Terra on March 29,
2023, public noticed on March 31 and approved by DWR on April 21
Eco Tera is in non-compliance with the Approved Britt & Hales MBI — submitted to DWR by Eco Terra on March 31, 2023,
public noticed on March 31 and approved on April 21.
At this time, DWR will not be able to proceed with the issuance of credit releases for the proposed buffer mitigation credits
and proposed nutrient offset credits until these matters have been discussed. DWR will discuss the non-compliance
issues with Eco Terra and DWR management in the near future prior to determining further actions needed.
Thank you for your attention to this matter,
Katie
