Nutrient Offset Plan
Georgianna Mitigation Bank Parcel
Neuse River Basin
1.0 Project Introduction
The Georgianna Mitigation Bank Parcel (“Parcel”) is proposed under the terms and conditions of the
proposed Georgianna Nutrient Offset Banking Instrument (“NOBI”), made and entered into by Wildlands
Holdings X, LLC acting as Bank Sponsor (“Sponsor”) and the North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality (“NCDEQ”) Division of Water Resources (“NCDWR”). The Parcel shall be planned
and designed according to the NOBI, 15A NCAC 02B .0703, and the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule
15A NCAC 02B .0295 which became effective November 1, 2015.
The project is in Wayne County approximately 13 miles southwest of the City of Goldsboro (Figure 1).
Directions are included on Figure 1. The Parcel creates a protected riparian area from top of bank out to
200 feet along three unnamed tributaries (UT1, UT2, and UT3) and four project ditches (Ditch A, Ditch B,
Ditch C, and Ditch D). The primary purpose of the project is to provide nutrient offset credits to
compensate for unavoidable impacts in the Neuse River Basin 03020201 Hydrologic Unit Code (“HUC”)
outside the Falls Lake Watershed (Figure 2). The Parcel is located within the Neuse River Basin HUC
03020201170010 and NCDWR Subbasin 03‐04‐12 in Wayne County.
1.1 Parcel Description
The project features flow to Horse Branch just outside the property boundary. Horse Branch extends for
approximately two miles until its confluence with Thoroughfare Swamp, which then flows into Falling
Creek. Falling Creek eventually flows into the Neuse River. Falling Creek is classified as Water Supply
Water source (“WS‐IV”) and Nutrient Sensitive Waters (“NSW”) by NCDWR. The proposed project
supports specific goals identified in the 2018 Neuse River Basin Restoration Priorities Plan (RBRP) by
promoting “nutrient and sediment reduction in agricultural areas by restoring and preserving wetlands,
streams and riparian buffers”.
This nutrient offset mitigation project will reduce sediment and nutrient loading, provide and improve
terrestrial and instream habitats, and improve stream and bank stability. The area surrounding the
stream and ditches proposed for mitigation is a mixture of forest and active agricultural fields. See
Appendix A for June 2023 photos. Restoring the riparian area up to 200 feet from project streams and
ditches will reduce nutrient and sediment inputs in the tributaries to Falling Creek and subsequently the
Neuse River. The restored floodplain areas will filter sediment during high rainfall events and provide
cover and food for wildlife throughout the Parcel.
2.0 Mitigation Project Summary
2.1 Project Goals
The major goals of the proposed nutrient offset mitigation project are to provide ecological and water
quality enhancements to the Neuse River Basin by restoring the riparian area to create a functional
riparian corridor. Specific enhancements to water quality and ecological processes are outlined below in
Table 1.
Georgianna Mitigation Bank Parcel Nutrient Offset Plan
HUC 03020201 Page 2 October 2023
Table 1: Ecological and Water Quality Goals
Goals Objectives
Decrease nutrient levels.
Nutrient input will be decreased by filtering runoff from the agricultural
fields through restored native vegetation. The off‐site nutrient input will
also be absorbed on‐site by filtering flood flows through restored
floodplain areas, where flood flows can disperse through native
vegetation.
Decrease sediment input.
Sediment from off‐site sources will be captured by deposition on restored
floodplain areas where native vegetation will slow overland flow
velocities.
Decrease water temperature
and increase dissolved oxygen
concentrations.
Planted riparian trees will shade the project features as they mature,
reducing thermal pollution.
Create appropriate terrestrial
habitat.
Riparian areas will be restored by treating invasive vegetation and planting
native vegetation.
Permanently protect the
project Parcel from harmful
uses.
A conservation easement will be recorded on the Parcel.
2.2 Existing Parcel Conditions
The proposed nutrient offset mitigation project includes approximately 49.7 acres of agricultural fields
and mature forest along three unnamed tributaries (UT1, UT2, and UT3), four project ditches (Ditch A,
Ditch B, Ditch C, and Ditch D), and two non‐project ditches (Ditch E and Ditch F). The Parcel easement
boundary will extend from top of bank to 200 feet from the project features (Figure 3).
Much of the project is currently used for row crop production. UT1 originates from a culvert at the
southern edge of the property and flows northeast. UT1 is surrounded by agricultural fields for its entire
project extent. UT2 also originates from a culvert at the southern edge of the property fields and flows
northeast until its confluence with UT3, at which point UT2 begins flowing east. Nearly all of UT2 is
surrounded by row crops. Ditch A flows east through agricultural fields until its confluence with UT2.
Ditch C flows west towards its confluence with UT3 and is surrounded by agricultural fields on both
banks. Ditches B and D flow east into UT3 and have continuous agricultural land on both banks. UT3
begins as an ephemeral channel flowing north near the elbow of UT2 and becomes intermittent near its
confluence with Ditch B. UT3 is surrounded by agricultural fields until it reaches the northern edge of
the property, where part of its riparian area becomes forested.
The project area was forested until the early 1960’s. Since then, it has been used for agriculture (see
Appendix B). This consistency in land use within the project watershed indicates that watershed
processes affecting hydrology, sediment supply, and nutrient and pollutant delivery have not varied
widely over this period. With a lack of developmental pressure, watershed processes and stressors from
outside the project limits are likely to remain consistent throughout the implementation, monitoring,
and closeout of this project.

2.3 Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset Mitigation
NCDWR assessed the stream origins and issued the official Stream Origin Determination Letter on June
21, 2023. NCDWR performed an onsite visit of the project area to determine viability for buffer
mitigation and nutrient offset mitigation on May 31, 2023, and issued a site viability letter on September
11, 2023. There have been no changes to land use in the project area since NCDWR’s 2023 site visit. A
copy of both the “On‐Site Stream Origin Determination for Applicability to Neuse Riparian Buffer Rules”
and the “Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset” letters from NCDWR are included in
Appendix C and summarized in Table 3.

2.4 Watershed Characterization
The Parcel is located within the HUC 03020201170010. All onsite features drain to Horse Branch and
then Falling Creek. Falling Creek flows to the Neuse River. Falling Creek is classified as WS‐IV and NSW by
NCDWR. WS‐IV waters are sources of water supply for drinking water, culinary, or food processing
Georgianna Mitigation Bank Parcel Nutrient Offset Plan
HUC 03020201 Page 4 October 2023
purposes. The NSW designation applies to surface waters that are experiencing excessive growth of
microscopic or macroscopic vegetation.
The topography of the Parcel, as indicated on the Grantham USGS 7.5‐minute topographic quadrangle,
shows gently sloped areas throughout the Parcel (Figure 4). Drainage areas for the project features
(Figure 5) were delineated using 2‐foot contour intervals derived from the North Carolina Floodplain
Mapping Program’s 2017 Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data. Land uses draining to the project
features are primarily a mix of active crop fields, woodlands, and developed space. The watershed areas
and current land use are summarized in Table 4, below.
Table 4: Drainage Areas and Associated Land Use
Reach Name Watershed Area
(acres) Land Use
UT1 26 90% agriculture, 5% shrubland, 5% developed
UT2 62 96% agriculture, 4% developed

styraciflua), red maple (Acer rubrum), black willow (Salix nigra), winged sumac (Rhus copallinum), and
common elderberry (Sambucus canadensis). Existing mature forest is located on the right floodplain of
the northern extent of UT3. Woody forest edges also occur along portions of the southern and eastern
Parcel boundaries. See Table 6 for existing woody and herbaceous species noted within the Parcel.

2.7 Threatened and Endangered Species
The NC Natural Heritage Program (NHP) database and the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)
Information for Planning and Consultation database (IPaC) were searched for federally listed threatened
and endangered plant and animal species in Wayne County, NC. Three listed endangered or threatened
species and one species proposed for listing as endangered or threatened were identified. Respectively,
these are the Red‐cockaded Woodpecker (Picoides borealis), the Neuse River Waterdog (Necturus
lewisi), the Carolina Madtom (Notorus furiousus), and the Tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus).
Wildlands performed a pedestrian survey of the project parcel on April 18, 2023. It was determined that
there is no suitable habitat for any of the listed species; therefore, the project will have “no effect” on
the federally listed species. It was determined that suitable habitat is present for the proposed listed
species, but no roosts were observed and restoration activity is unlikely to adversely affect this species.
USFWS was contacted on July 7, 2023 with request for comment on the project. USFWS responded on
July 14, 2023 with their concurrence of Wildlands’ findings. The USFWS correspondence and Self‐
Certification Letter packet is included in Appendix D.
2.8 Cultural Resources
There are no existing structures in the project area. The Parcel is not located near any sites listed on the
National Register with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). SHPO was contacted with request
Georgianna Mitigation Bank Parcel Nutrient Offset Plan
HUC 03020201 Page 6 October 2023
for review and comment on July 7, 2023. SHPO responded on August 1, 2023 stating they are aware of
no historic resources which would be affected by the project. The SHPO response and request are
included in Appendix D.
2.9 FEMA Floodplain Compliance
No grading activities are proposed in the FEMA floodplain, so a floodplain development permit will not
be required. No hydraulic modeling is proposed for this project.
2.10 Parcel Location, Parcel Constraints, and Access
The Parcel is accessible via a dirt farm road off US Highway 13 (See Figure 7). There is one external
crossing across UT3.
2.11 Other Environmental Conditions
An EDR Radius Map Report with Geocheck was ordered for the Parcel through Environmental Data
Resources, Inc. on March 23, 2023. Neither the target property nor the adjacent properties were listed in
any of the Federal, State, or Tribal environmental databases searched by EDR. There were no known or
potentially hazardous waste sites identified within or immediately adjacent to the project area. The
Executive Summary of the EDR report is included in the Appendix.
3.0 Site Protection Instrument
The land required for planting, management, and stewardship of the mitigation project includes
portions of the parcels listed in Table 7. The Parcel will remain in private ownership, protected in its
entirety by an approved NCDWR long term stewardship, and will be managed under the terms detailed
in an approved NCDWR conservation easement.

Mitigation Work Plan
The project will restore agriculturally impacted land along project features to a protected riparian
corridor, improving the ecological function of the area. The project design will ensure that no adverse
impacts to existing riparian areas occur. Figure 7 illustrates the conceptual design for the Parcel. Figure 8
further depicts the riparian zones and designated widths for the Parcel.
4.1 Parcel Preparation
Most areas slated for restoration will require little parcel preparation because the land has been cleared
and maintained for agriculture; therefore, soil disturbance during planting of the project will be minimal.
If herbaceous vegetation does not appear to grow naturally, Wildlands will note the areas of deficiency
and seed them the following spring of 2024. During June of 2023 the condition of herbaceous cover was
visually assessed across the Parcel. Herbaceous vegetation established naturally, therefore seeding is
not expected to be necessary.
Georgianna Mitigation Bank Parcel Nutrient Offset Plan
HUC 03020201 Page 7 October 2023
4.2 Riparian Area Restoration Activities
Riparian area restoration will involve planting appropriate native tree species along the riparian corridor.
Vegetation management and herbicide applications may be needed over the first few years of tree
establishment in the riparian restoration areas to prevent undesirable species from out‐competing
planted native vegetation. Tree species planted across the riparian areas of the Parcel will include a
mixture of at least 8 species listed in Table 8 below.
Table 8: Selected Tree Species
Species Common Name Density Forest Strata
Platanus occidentalis American Sycamore 10% Canopy
Betula nigra River Birch 10% Canopy
Diospyros virginiana Common Persimmon 5% Canopy
Quercus nigra Water Oak 10% Canopy
Quercus phellos Willow Oak 10% Canopy
Quercus pagoda Cherrybark Oak 10% Canopy
Ulmus americana American Elm 10% Canopy
Populus deltoides Eastern Cottonwood 10% Canopy
Magnolia virginiana Sweetbay Magnolia 10% Sub‐canopy
Acer negundo Boxelder 10% Canopy
Prunus serotina Black Cherry 5% Canopy
Trees will be spaced at 7’X12’ upon planting, which is equivalent to a stem density of 521 stems per acre
and is sufficient to meet the performance standards outlined in the Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 of 260
stems per acre at the end of five years. Non‐credited areas within the Parcel totaling approximately 5.7
acres will be planted at a lower density of 303 stems per acre, spaced at 12’X12’ upon planting. At least
8 of the 11 species listed in Table 8 will be planted. If a species is not available at the time of planting,
the percentage composition of one or more of the available species will be increased to ensure the same
number of trees required to meet the proposed density are planted. No one species will be planted at a
composition higher than 15%. Stems will be well mixed prior to planting to ensure diversity of bare root
species across the Parcel. Due to the nature of random mixing, some stems of the same species might
be planted together in some areas. Planting is scheduled for December 2024.
4.3 NCDWR As‐Built Evaluation
Within 30 calendar days after completing the establishment of the nutrient offset areas, the Sponsor will
submit written notification to NCDWR documenting that all nutrient offset activities have been
completed. Failure to submit written notification within 30 days may result in a modified credit release
schedule or a delay in the issuance of credit releases.
Georgianna Mitigation Bank Parcel Nutrient Offset Plan
HUC 03020201 Page 8 October 2023
5.0 Monitoring and Maintenance Plan
5.1 Monitoring Protocol
Permanent vegetation monitoring plots will be installed and evaluated within the riparian restoration
areas to measure the survival of the planted trees. A total of 34 plots will be established within the
riparian restoration areas and will be randomly placed such that the plots are representative of the
nutrient offset credit areas (Figure 9). Each of the 34 plots will be 100 square meters.
Vegetation assessments will be conducted and follow the Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) Level 2
Protocol for Recording Vegetation (2008). A reference photo will be taken from the southwestern corner
of each of the 34 plots. Overview photos will be taken each monitoring year and provided in the annual
reports. All planted stems will be marked with flagging tape and recorded.
The first annual monitoring activities will commence at the end of the first growing season, at least five
months after planting has been completed and no earlier than the fall season. Species composition,
height, survival rates, and vigor will be evaluated on an annual basis by plot. The total number of
volunteer woody stems will also be documented and reported. The measure of vegetative success for
the Parcel will be the survival of at least four native hardwood tree or shrub species, where no one
species is greater than 50% of stems, and an established density of at least 260 stems per acre at the
end of the fifth year of monitoring. Appropriate and desirable native volunteer species may be included
in the Parcel’s density to meet the performance standards with written NCDWR approval.
The Sponsor shall submit the annual monitoring report to NCDWR by December 31st of each year for five
consecutive years and will follow the terms and conditions of the NOBI.
5.2 Parcel Maintenance
If the Parcel or a specific component of the Parcel fails to achieve the success criteria outlined in Section
5.1, adaptive measures will be developed and/or appropriate remedial actions will be implemented.
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, fire, flooding, drought,
or insects that cause excess tree mortality. Any actions implemented will be designed to achieve the
success criteria and will include a work schedule and updated monitoring criteria. A rigorous herbicide
schedule may need to be implemented in the first few years of tree establishment in the restoration
areas to prevent establishment of invasive species that may out‐compete the planted native vegetation.
The only herbicides used on the Parcel will be aquatic approved herbicides that will be applied in
accordance with North Carolina Department of Agriculture rules and regulations.
The easement boundary will be checked annually as part of monitoring activities. Easement boundary
conditions as well as any maintenance performed will be reported in the annual monitoring reports to
NCDWR. If mowing is deemed necessary by the Sponsor during the monitoring period, the Sponsor must
receive approval from NCDWR prior to conducting any mowing activities within Zone 1 and Zone 2 of
the Neuse buffers to ensure that no buffer violations have occurred.
5.3 Easement Boundaries
Easement boundaries will be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between the Parcel and
adjacent properties. Boundaries may be identified by marker, post, tree‐blazing, or other means as
allowed by Parcel conditions and/or conservation easement prior to the NCDWR on‐site As‐Built
evaluation for Task 2 credit release. Boundary markers that have been disturbed, damaged, or destroyed
will be repaired and/or replaced on an as needed basis. Contact information for the conservation
easement holder will be included on easement markers.

HUC 03020201 Page 9 October 2023
6.0 Financial Assurance and Long‐Term Management
6.1 Financial Assurances
Following approval of the Georgianna Nutrient Offset Plan, the Sponsor shall provide a Performance
Bond from a surety that is rated no less than an “A‐“ as rated by A.M. Best. The Performance Bond
amount shall be 100% of the estimated cost for implementation of the project as described in the
Nutrient Offset Plan, but not less than $150,000.00. In lieu of posting the performance bond, the
Sponsor may elect to construct the project prior to the first credit release. In that case no performance
bond will be necessary.
After completion of the restoration/construction, a separate Performance/Maintenance Bond will be
secured for 100% of the estimated cost to implement the monitoring and maintenance plan but not less
than $100,000.00. The Performance/Maintenance Bond shall apply at the inception of the monitoring
period for a term of one year and be extended annually for a minimum of five years. Upon NCDWR
approval, this may be lowered each year based on the adjusted cost to complete the monitoring.
Performance bonds for monitoring shall be renewed at least annually to cover the next years monitoring
period, with confirmation of renewal provided to NCDWR with each annual monitoring report when
applicable. NCDWR reserves the right to alter the credit release schedule if monitoring reports are
submitted without proof of bond renewals when applicable.
6.2 Long‐term Management
The Parcel will remain in private ownership, protected in its entirety by an approved NCDWR long term
steward and will be managed under the terms detailed in an approved NCDWR conservation easement.
The long‐term manager will be chosen prior to the submittal of the Year 4 Monitoring report and will be
responsible for periodic inspection of the Parcel to ensure that the restrictions documented in the
recorded easement are upheld in perpetuity. No remaining credits will be released for Monitoring Year 4
until the conservation easement has been assigned to an approved land trust or stewardship entity.
7.0 Project Credit Potential
Of the 49.7 acres protected under the conservation easement, the mitigation activity for 42.3 acres is
riparian restoration. All 42.3 acres of restoration are proposed for nutrient offset credit. The Buffer
Interpretation /Clarification Memo #2008‐019 applies to Ditch B, Ditch D, and Ditch E where
maintenance of diffuse flow onsite is unattainable; therefore, a total of 9,754 square feet is removed
from the creditable area. The management objectives, mitigation type, and proposed amount of
nutrient offset credits are presented in Tables 10 and 11, below. Areas of riparian restoration where
Wildlands is seeking Nutrient Offset Credit will not be convertible to Riparian Buffer Credits per the
Parcel's NOBI. There will be one credit ledger for the project: A Nitrogen Nutrient Offset Credit Ledger.

*Ephemeral / Intermittent / Perennial / Ditch / Not Present / Unmapped
Mr. Burch,
The Division of Water Resources has determined that the streams listed as “subject” above and
included on the attached map have been located on the most recent published (1974) NRCS Soil Survey
of Wayne County, North Carolina and/or the web based Digital USGS National Topographic Map
https://apps.nationalmap.gov/viewer/ and evaluated for applicability to the Neuse River Basin Riparian
Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 02B .0714). For each stream that is checked “Not Subject” it has been
determined to not be at least intermittent, not present on the property, a wetland area, ditch or not
represented on the most recent published (1974) NRCS Soil Survey of Wayne County, North Carolina
and/or the Digital USGS National Topographic Map at a scale of 1:24,000 or less. There may be other
streams or features located on the property that were not assessed and/or that do not appear on the
maps referenced above but may be considered jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of
Engineers and subject to the Clean Water Act.
This on-site determination shall expire five (5) years from the date of this letter. Landowners or
affected parties that dispute a determination made by the DWR may request a determination by the
Director. An appeal request must be made within sixty (60) calendar days of date of this letter to the
Director in writing.

Near 35.299233, -78.159173 at 3334 US Hwy 13 S, Goldsboro, NC
Neuse 03020201
Wayne County
Dear Ms. Hogarth,
On March 31, 2023, Katie Merritt, with the Division of Water Resources (DWR), received a request
from you on behalf of Wildlands Engineering, Inc (Wildlands) 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 nutrient offset and buffer mitigation within a proposed
conservation easement boundary, which is more accurately depicted in the attached maps labeled
“Post Site Viability Walk” (Figure 1) prepared by Wildlands and edited by DWR. The proposed
easement boundary on Figure 1 includes all riparian areas intended to be proposed as part of the
mitigation site. On May 31, 2023, Ms. Merritt performed a site assessment of the subject site. Staff
with Wildlands 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 (TOB)
and landward 200’ from each feature for buffer mitigation pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295 and for
nutrient offset credits pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0703 using 15A NCAC 02B .0295 to define the
mitigation type determinations.

4 Determinations made for this Site are determined based on the proposal provided in maps and figures submitted with the request.
5 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.
6The 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.
8The confluence of a ditch to a stream is required to be secured with a conservation easement to preserve the hydrologic connectivity of
ditches to streams to be viable to generate buffer and/or nutrient offset credits
Determinations provided in the table above were made using a proposed easement boundary showing
proposed mitigation areas and features shown on Figure 1. The map representing the proposal for the
site is attached to this letter and initialed by Ms. Merritt on September 11, 2023. Substantial changes
to the proposed easement boundary as well as any site constraints identified in this letter that are not
addressed in a riparian restoration plan, 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 September 11, 2025 or upon the submittal of a complete
mitigation plan by the DWR, whichever comes first. This letter should be provided in any
nutrient offset, buffer, stream or wetland mitigation plan for this Site.

Subject: Georgianna Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel
Wayne County, North Carolina
To whom it may concern,
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. requests review and comment on any possible issues that might emerge with respect
to fish and wildlife issues associated with a potential riparian buffer restoration project on the Georgianna
Mitigation Bank Parcel located in Wayne County, NC. A Site Map is enclosed. The site is located at latitude
35.299233 longitude -78.159173.
The Georgianna Mitigation Bank Parcel is being developed to provide riparian buffer and nutrient offset mitigation
in the Neuse River basin. The project will include buffer restoration along UT1, UT2, UT3, and four ditches that flow
to Falling Creek. Restoration activities will include planting native tree species along the riparian corridor, along
with the application of a regionally appropriate seed mix of warm season grasses and wildflowers in areas without
existing herbaceous cover. This buffer mitigation project will reduce sediment and nutrient loading, provide and
improve terrestrial and in stream habitats, and improve stream and bank stability. The area surrounding the
channels proposed for buffer restoration is a combination of agricultural fields and forest. Restoring the vegetative
buffer on the areas up to 200 feet from streams and ditches will remove crops and fertilizer inputs within the
project area. The restored floodplain areas will filter sediment during high rainfall events. The establishment of
riparian buffers will create shading to minimize thermal heating. Finally, newly planted native vegetation will
provide cover and food for wildlife.
The major goals of the proposed buffer restoration project are to provide ecological and water quality
enhancements to the Neuse River Basin by creating a functional riparian corridor and restoring the riparian buffer.
Waters of the United States 404/401 permitting is not required for this buffer mitigation site as construction
activities will only involve planting riparian vegetation and will not impact project streams or downstream
resources.
The official United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) threatened and endangered species list generated
from the Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) database shows three federally Threatened or
Endangered species. Please refer to the IPaC Package attached below for the official species list, along with
Wildlands biological determinations and conclusions.
Additionally, there is one Proposed Endangered species listed, the tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus). Suitable
habitat was found in the project area in the form of two culverts. However, no culverts within or around the
conservation easement will be disturbed during buffer restoration. While the species is not yet listed, Wildlands
acknowledges its importance and has included the tricolored bat in the species conclusion table.
Per the NC Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) data explorer, there are no records for rare species, important
natural communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed Project boundary.

We respectfully request review and comment concerning any possible issues that might emerge from the
proposed project with respect to endangered species, migratory birds, or other trust resources. We thank you in
advance for your response and cooperation. Please feel free to contact us with any questions that you may have
concerning the extent of site disturbance associated with this project.

Project Code: 2023-0098250
Project Name: Georgianna Mitigation Site
Subject:List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The enclosed species list identifies threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate species, as
well as proposed and final designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your
proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. The species list fulfills the
requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the
Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). If your project area
contains suitable habitat for any of the federally-listed species on this species list, the proposed
action has the potential to adversely affect those species. If suitable habitat is present, surveys
should be conducted to determine the species’ presence or absence within the project area. The
use of this species list and/or North Carolina Natural Heritage program data should not be
substituted for actual field surveys.
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to
contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to
federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical
habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the
Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be
completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be
completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and
implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested
through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list.
The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the
ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the
Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to
utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered
06/27/2023 2
species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or
designated critical habitat.
A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having
similar physical impacts) that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)
(c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological
evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may
affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended
contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12.
If a Federal agency determines, based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that
listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by the proposed project, the
agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service
recommends that candidate species, proposed species and proposed critical habitat be addressed
within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7
consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the "Endangered
Species Consultation Handbook" at:
http://www.fws.gov/endangered/esa-library/pdf/TOC-GLOS.PDF
Migratory Birds: In addition to responsibilities to protect threatened and endangered species
under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), there are additional responsibilities under the
Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) to
protect native birds from project-related impacts. Any activity, intentional or unintentional,
resulting in take of migratory birds, including eagles, is prohibited unless otherwise permitted by
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)). For more
information regarding these Acts see https://www.fws.gov/birds/policies-and-regulations.php.
The MBTA has no provision for allowing take of migratory birds that may be unintentionally
killed or injured by otherwise lawful activities. It is the responsibility of the project proponent to
comply with these Acts by identifying potential impacts to migratory birds and eagles within
applicable NEPA documents (when there is a federal nexus) or a Bird/Eagle Conservation Plan
(when there is no federal nexus). Proponents should implement conservation measures to avoid
or minimize the production of project-related stressors or minimize the exposure of birds and
their resources to the project-related stressors. For more information on avian stressors and
recommended conservation measures see https://www.fws.gov/birds/bird-enthusiasts/threats-to-
birds.php.
In addition to MBTA and BGEPA, Executive Order 13186: Responsibilities of Federal Agencies
to Protect Migratory Birds, obligates all Federal agencies that engage in or authorize activities
that might affect migratory birds, to minimize those effects and encourage conservation measures
that will improve bird populations. Executive Order 13186 provides for the protection of both
migratory birds and migratory bird habitat. For information regarding the implementation of
Executive Order 13186, please visit https://www.fws.gov/birds/policies-and-regulations/
executive-orders/e0-13186.php.

We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages
Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project
planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Code in the header of
this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project that you submit
to our office.

PROBABILITY OF PRESENCE SUMMARY
The graphs below provide our best understanding of when birds of concern are most likely to be
present in your project area. This information can be used to tailor and schedule your project
activities to avoid or minimize impacts to birds. Please make sure you read and understand the
FAQ "Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report" before using or attempting
to interpret this report.
Probability of Presence ()
Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in the 10km grid cell(s) your
project overlaps during a particular week of the year. (A year is represented as 12 4-week
months.) A taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. The survey effort (see
below) can be used to establish a level of confidence in the presence score. One can have higher
confidence in the presence score if the corresponding survey effort is also high.
How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps:
The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in
the week where the species was detected divided by the total number of survey events for
that week. For example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and the Spotted Towhee
was found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in week 12 is
0.25.
06/27/2023 3
2.
3.
no data survey effort breeding season probability of presence
To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of
presence is calculated. This is the probability of presence divided by the maximum
probability of presence across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of presence
in week 20 for the Spotted Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week 12
(0.25) is the maximum of any week of the year. The relative probability of presence on
week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is 0.05/0.25 = 0.2.
The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical
conversion so that all possible values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the
probability of presence score.
Breeding Season ()
Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time-frame inside which the bird breeds across
its entire range. If there are no yellow bars shown for a bird, it does not breed in your project
area.
Survey Effort ()
Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of surveys
performed for that species in the 10km grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The number of
surveys is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys.
No Data ()
A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week.
Survey Timeframe
Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant
information. The exception to this is areas off the Atlantic coast, where bird returns are based on
all years of available data, since data in these areas is currently much more sparse.

MIGRATORY BIRDS FAQ
Tell me more about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts
to migratory birds.
Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize
impacts to all birds at any location year round. Implementation of these measures is particularly
important when birds are most likely to occur in the project area. When birds may be breeding in
the area, identifying the locations of any active nests and avoiding their destruction is a very
helpful impact minimization measure. To see when birds are most likely to occur and be breeding
in your project area, view the Probability of Presence Summary. Additional measures or permits
may be advisable depending on the type of activity you are conducting and the type of
infrastructure or bird species present on your project site.
What does IPaC use to generate the list of migratory birds that potentially occur in my
specified location?
The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern
(BCC) and other species that may warrant special attention in your project location.
The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian
Knowledge Network (AKN). The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey, banding,
and citizen science datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as
occurring in the 10km grid cell(s) which your project intersects, and that have been identified as
warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Act
requirements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to offshore activities or
development.

Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your
project area. It is not representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list
of all birds potentially present in your project area, please visit the Rapid Avian Information
Locator (RAIL) Tool.
What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds
potentially occurring in my specified location?
The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data
provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). This data is derived from a growing
collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets.
Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information
becomes available. To learn more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and
how to interpret them, go the Probability of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me
about these graphs" link.
How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering or migrating in my area?
To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding,
wintering, migrating or year-round), you may query your location using the RAIL Tool and look
at the range maps provided for birds in your area at the bottom of the profiles provided for each
bird in your results. If a bird on your migratory bird species list has a breeding season associated
with it, if that bird does occur in your project area, there may be nests present at some point
within the timeframe specified. If "Breeds elsewhere" is indicated, then the bird likely does not
breed in your project area.
What are the levels of concern for migratory birds?
Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern:
"BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) that are of concern
throughout their range anywhere within the USA (including Hawaii, the Pacific Islands,
Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands);
"BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation
Regions (BCRs) in the continental USA; and
"Non-BCC - Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on
your list either because of the Eagle Act requirements (for eagles) or (for non-eagles)
potential susceptibilities in offshore areas from certain types of development or activities
(e.g. offshore energy development or longline fishing).
Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made,
in particular, to avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC
species of rangewide concern. For more information on conservation measures you can
implement to help avoid and minimize migratory bird impacts and requirements for eagles,
please see the FAQs for these topics.
Details about birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects
For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species
and groups of bird species within your project area off the Atlantic Coast, please visit the
Northeast Ocean Data Portal. The Portal also offers data and information about other taxa besides
06/27/2023 6
birds that may be helpful to you in your project review. Alternately, you may download the bird
model results files underlying the portal maps through the NOAA NCCOS Integrative Statistical
Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic
Outer Continental Shelf project webpage.
Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use
throughout the year, including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this
information. For additional information on marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Study
and the nanotag studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam Loring.
What if I have eagles on my list?
If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid
violating the Eagle Act should such impacts occur.
Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report
The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of
birds of priority concern. To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for
identifying what other birds may be in your project area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC
use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location". Please be
aware this report provides the "probability of presence" of birds within the 10 km grid cell(s) that
overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look
carefully at the survey effort (indicated by the black vertical bar) and for the existence of the "no
data" indicator (a red horizontal bar). A high survey effort is the key component. If the survey
effort is high, then the probability of presence score can be viewed as more dependable. In
contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and, therefore, a lack of
certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting point for
identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might
be there, and if they might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps you
know what to look for to confirm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement
conservation measures to avoid or minimize potential impacts from your project activities,
should presence be confirmed. To learn more about conservation measures, visit the FAQ "Tell
me about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory
birds" at the bottom of your migratory bird trust resources page.

Subject: Georgianna Mitigation Bank Parcel
Wayne County, North Carolina
Dear Ms. Gledhill-Earley,
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. requests review and comment on any possible issues that might emerge with respect
to archaeological or cultural resources associated with a potential riparian buffer restoration project on the
Georgianna Mitigation Bank Parcel located in Wayne County, NC. An Overview Site Map and a USGS Topographic
Map showing the approximate project area are enclosed. The topographic figure was prepared from the Grantham
7.5-Minute USGS Topographic Quadrangle, and the site is located at latitude 35.299233 longitude -78.159173.
The Georgianna Mitigation Bank Parcel is being developed to provide riparian buffer and nutrient offset mitigation
in the Neuse River Basin. The project will include restoration of riparian buffers along UT1, UT2, UT3, and four
ditches that flow to Falling Creek. UT1, UT2, UT3, and all four ditches are surrounded by agricultural fields that
reach top of bank on both sides.
The major goals of the riparian buffer and nutrient offset mitigation bank project are to provide ecological and
water quality enhancements to the Neuse River Basin while creating a functional riparian corridor at the site level.
This will be accomplished by restoring and or preserving the vegetative buffer on the areas up to 200 feet from
streams and ditches, along with permanently preserving and protecting the site through establishing a
conservation easement.
No surveyed sites listed on the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) are located within one mile
of the site. In addition, the site is not located near any sites listed on the National Register with the SHPO. No
architectural structures or archaeological artifacts have been observed or noted during preliminary surveys of the
site for restoration purposes. We ask that you review the site based on the attached information to determine the
presence of any historic properties within the conservation easement area proposed as shown on Figures 1 and 2.
We thank you in advance for your response and cooperation. Please feel free to contact us with any questions that
you may have concerning the extent of site disturbance associated with this project.
Sincerely,
Savannah Seeber
