As agreed upon in the Roseneath Nutrient Offset Umbrella Banking Instrument (UBI) and White Farm Bank Parcel Development Packaged (BPDP), made and entered into on November 29, 2021 by Restoration Systems, LLC, acting as Bank Sponsor (Sponsor), and the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ), Division of Water Resources (DWR). This document details the riparian area restoration activities, monitoring efforts, and the final mitigation potential of the Parcel. Measuring 95.63 acres, the Parcel is designed to provide mitigation credits for unavoidable impacts due to development within the Tar -Pamlico River Basin. NCDWR representatives conducted an onsite determination for parcel applicability and suitability of Site Features on December 2, 2020. A Site Viability letter for Buffer & Nutrient Offset was provided by the Division on January 22, 2021 and February 9, 2021. Restoration Systems (RS) was granted a Conservation Easement by the White family on February 28, 2022. The final conservation easement was recorded at the Halifax County Register of Deeds on April 26, 2022; Book No. 2697, Page 191— 210. It was assigned to the North Carolina Wildlife Habitat Foundation on May 31, 2023- see Book No. 2734, Page 97-124. RS began preparation for restoration of the riparian buffer and planted the Parcel in February/March of 2022. Riparian buffer restoration activities included ripping/bedding of the parcel with a narrow set plow, bare -root planting, and broadcast application of a permanent seed mix. During March 29 —April 5, 2022, Axiom Environmental installed seventy-five (75) Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) monitoring plots and collected as -built data. During October of 2023, Axiom Environmental collected monitoring year 2 data (Appendix B). 2.0 Parcel Location The Parcel is located approximately 2.5 miles northwest of the town of Hobgood in Halifax County, NC. The Parcel is within the Tar -Pamlico River Basin 14- digit USGS Cataloging Unit 03020102070030 of the Middle Atlantic Coastal Plain (North Carolina Division of Water Quality [NCDWQ] Sub -basin Number 03- 03-04) (Figure 1, Appendix A). Parcel Location: (36.059133%-77.421170°) Directions to Parcel from Raleigh: - Get on 1-440 E from Capital Blvd (2.4 mi) - Take exit 14 and continue on US-64 E (66.0 mi) - Take exit 486 for US-258 N/NC-111 N (4.0 mi) - Turn left onto NC-122 N (9.2 mi) - Turn left onto NC-125 N and destination is on the right (2.5 mi) - Latitude, Longitude: 36.059133°,-77.421170' White Farm Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel Page 1 Year 2 Monitoring Report— December 2023 2.1 Parcel Background The Parcel encompasses 95.63 acres of land over one tract of historical agricultural fields. Prior to Parcel development, land use is described as agricultural row crop production including cotton, corn, and peanuts. The landowners regularly applied fertilizers and herbicides to the fields. Streams and ditches on the parcel had no existing riparian buffer. Site Features are devoid of woody vegetation outside of forested areas due to historic and agricultural practices. The Parcel is comprised of one tract with hydrological features that drain to Deep Creek, a tributary of the Tar River. There were no existing structures in the project area. The larger parcel contains the ZO: HX436: James A White House, but this structure is not located within the conservation easement footprint. The farmhouse was not impacted nor disturbed during the project and a buffer around the structure was implemented in the field during the planting process. 2.2 ParcelObiectives The primary goals associated with the restoration of riparian areas within the Bank Parcel focused on providing ecological and water quality enhancements to the Tar -Pamlico River Basin by restoring the riparian area to create a functional riparian corridor. Goals were accomplished as outlined in the following table. Goal Objective Nutrient input will be decreased by filtering runoff from the agricultural fields through restored native buffer zones. The off - Decrease nutrient levels 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. Sediment from off -site sources will be captured by deposition Decrease sediment input on restored floodplain areas where native vegetation will slow overland flow velocities. Decrease water temperature and Planted riparian trees will shade the streams as they mature increase dissolved oxygen reducing thermal pollution. concentrations Create appropriate terrestrial Riparian areas adjacent to ditches and streams will be restored habitat by planting native vegetation. Permanently protect the project A conservation easement will be recorded on the Parcel. Parcel from harmful uses 3.0 Restoration Activities Riparian area restoration involved planting appropriate native tree species along the 200-foot-wide riparian corridor of streams and hydrologically connected ditches at a density of approximately 680 stems per acre on 8ft x 8ft spacing. Vegetation management and herbicide applications may be needed over the first few years of tree establishment in the riparian restoration areas to prevent encroachment of undesirable species that may out -compete the planted native vegetation. Tree species planted across the riparian areas of the Parcel included those listed in Table C. Stems were mixed prior to planting to ensure diversity of bare roots across the planted area. A seed mix including the species listed in Table D was applied to provide temporary and permanent ground coverfor soil stabilization and reduction of sediment loss during rain events in areas without existing herbaceous cover. Planting took place on March 1, 2022. White Farm Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel Page 2 Year 2 Monitoring Report— December 2023 Table A — Restoration Plan Activities Restoration Plan Activity Phase Specific Actions Within the Site' s proposed conservation easements: - Treatment of Bermuda and fescue grass species within active pasture areas (see Herbaceous Treatment note above). - Site -wide discing of agricultural and pasture areas ahead of planting — discing Riparian occurred parallel to the Site Features, promoting floodwater attenuation by Restoration increasing frictional resistance of floodwaters crossing Parcel floodplains. - Establishment of a native herbaceous community via site -specific seed mix (see Planting List —Table D) - Establishment of a native hardwood forest via the planting of bare -root saplings from the top of bank out a maximum of 200' along Parcel Features —Planting List —Table C 3.1 Riparian Area Restoration Activities Restoration of the riparian area allows for recolonization and expansion of characteristic species across the landscape. The riparian areas were restored according to the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295. The planting plan for the riparian restoration area included planting 63,000 native bare -root hardwood saplings across 96.30 acres at a Parcel density of +/- 600 stems per acre and live stakes for stream bank stabilization where necessary. The planted species composition is intentionally diverse and while based on these communities, also accounted for local observations and nursery availability. All species were selected based on their ability for sediment stabilization, rapid growth rate, the ability to withstand hydraulic forces associated with flood events, suitability to specific soil types, and Parcel conditions. Tree species were mixed thoroughly before planting to provide a diverse and random plant across the Site. Planting density is set to ensure sufficient diversity and density of planted stems outlined in Rule 15A NCAC 02B.0295 of 260 trees per acre at the end of five years. No one tree species will be greater than 50% of the established stems. The bare root planting list is provided in Table C followed by the permanent seed mix in Table D. Baseline data was collected in March and April 2022 by Axiom Environmental and derived an average planted stem density of 455 stems per acre. Axiom Environmental collected monitoring year 2 data in October 2023 and found an average planted stem density of 421 stems per acre (Appendix B).

The final conservation easement was recorded at the Halifax County Register of Deeds on April 26, 2022; Book No. 2697, Page 191— 210. It was assigned to the North Carolina Wildlife Habitat Foundation on May 31, 2023- see Book No. 2734, Page 97-124. RS marked the easement at every corner with an iron, CE cap, and corner t-post. Additionally, conservation easement signs were placed on each corner. White Farm Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel Page 4 Year 2 Monitoring Report— December 2023 4.0 Mitigation Potential Of the Parcel's 95.63 acres protected under the conservation easement, 3,974,709 square feet are anticipated provide Nutrient Offset Credits equivalent to 205,885.272 pounds of nitrogen offset credit and 13,260.603 pounds of phosphorous offset credit as detailed in Appendix A, Table 1— Project Credits. Riparian area restoration, measured from the top of bank on Parcel streams and ditches, will include at least 50' from the tops of banks and will extend outward a maximum of 200' from tops of banks and will generate Nutrient Offset Credits that are not transferable to Riparian Buffer Credit per the approved UBI. Nitrogen and Phosphorous offset credits will be generated from the project and shown on separate ledgers. 5.0 Monitoring Protocol & Success Criteria 5.1 Monitoring Protocol Restoration monitoring procedures for vegetation will monitor plant survival and species diversity. Quantitative sampling will include seventy-five (75) permanent 10 x 10-meter vegetation plots as outlined in the CVS Level 1-2 Protocol for Recording Vegetation, Version 4.2 (Lee et al. 2008) and will occur no earlier than Fall of each year (Figure 2, Appendix A). Vegetation plot placement will adequately represent riparian buffer credit and nutrient offset credit areas. A reference photo will be taken from the origin point of each plot. All planted stems in the plots will be marked with flagging tape and recorded. Data collected will include species, height, planting type (planted stem and/or volunteer). Total and planted stem density by plot and species will be reported during monitoring years 0-5 (Table 5, Appendix B). Individual and average stem height data will be reported during monitoring years 3-5. Monitoring of the restoration efforts will be performed for five years or until success criteria are fulfilled. Restoration Systems shall submit to NCDWR annual monitoring reports no later than December 31st of each year. Each report will document the success of the vegetation and any maintenance, supplemental planting, or encroachment within the easement areas. Success criteria within the buffer will be based on the survival of planted species at a density of 260 stems per acre after five years of monitoring. Year 2 (2023) monitoring occurred October 12-17, 2023. The monitoring efforts found an average of 421 planted stems/acre across the Site. Sixty-nine out of the 75 individual plots met success criteria (Appendix B). Additionally, nine temporary transects were conducted at random locations throughout the Site. Average stem density for the temporary transects was 459 planted stems/acre (Table 6, Appendix B). Trees throughout the site were generally vigorous. Vegetation data is in Appendix B, and locations of plots and transects are depicted on Figure 2 (Appendix A). 5.2 Parcel Maintenance Adaptive Management Plan (AMP) — During the as -built walkthrough, DWR noted an area of low vigor and sparse vegetation measuring approximately 5.6 acres as well as an area of little to no planted stems 12'-25' from the top of bank through most of the site. In response, RS implemented a replant of these areas in January 2023. Bare -root stems were planted on 12' x 12' centers, adding an average density of 300 additional stems per acre within the identified areas of concern. The supplemental planting list is provided in Table E, and documentation of the AMP is in Appendix C.

Site maintenance will be performed to correct any identified problems on the Parcel that have a high likelihood of affecting the 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. Any parcel maintenance performed will be included in the monitoring report for that year. A rigorous herbicide schedule may need to be implemented in the first few years of tree establishment in the restoration areas to prevent the 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 and any maintenance performed will be reported in the annual monitoring reports to DWR. If mowing is deemed necessary by the Sponsor during the monitoring period, the Sponsor must receive approval from DWR prior to conducting any mowing within Tar -Pamlico Buffer Zones 1 and 2 to ensure that no buffer violations have occurred. 5.3 Lone Term Management Plan A permanent conservation easement to preserve all areas and prohibit all use of the property inconsistent with its use as a nutrient offset and riparian buffer mitigation property, including any activity that would materially alter the biological integrity of the Site/ Parcel was recorded at the Halifax County Register of Deeds on 4/26/2022 in Book 2697 Page 191. RS assigned the conservation easement and its interests in perpetuity to a qualified holder under NC General Statute ("GS") 121- 34 et seq. and 170(h) of the Internal Revenue Code on 5/31/2023. The assignment is recorded in Deed Book 2734 Page 97. The holder is the North Carolina Wildlife Habitat Foundation, which is certified under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and has been approved by DWR. 6.0 Financial Assurance RS will secure all financial assurances according to the approved UBI. No bond shall be less than $150,000 to cover costs of construction and no less than $100,000 initially, to cover monitoring expenses. Performance bonds for monitoring shall be renewed at least annually to cover the next years monitoring period, with confirmation of renewal provided to DWR with each annual monitoring report when applicable. DWR reserves the right to alter the credit release schedule if monitoring reports are submitted without proof of bond renewals when applicable.

During the as -built site visit on June 29, 2022, multiple items requiring corrective action were identified, including low vigor and sparse areas seen in some areas measuring a total of 5.6 acres, little to no planted stems were observed throughout much of the site along the top of bank to a width of 12'-25' in most areas, additional T-post need to be in areas where easement boundary was difficult to follow, stem flagging within veg plots, and no conservation easement placards on easement boundaries. On September 1, 2022, INC Wildlife Habitat Foundation (NCWHF) conservation easement placards were installed on all surveyed corners. Additionally, new T-posts were added to the areas Katie Merritt highlighted. A map is attached highlighting action items, and photos of the work described are provided below. On January 9, 2023, IRS implemented a replant of three thousand (3,000) bare roots within the top of bank and low stem density areas noted during the as -built site visit (Figure 1). Two rows were planted on 12' x 12' centers within the top of bank area of concern. Additionally, the 5.6-acre low densities areas were planted on 12' x 12' centers adding roughly three hundred (+/- 300) stems per acre. Bareroots were planted within the fixed vegetation monitoring plots, which will be recorded in the Yr. 2, 2023, Monitoring Report. Planted species were hand mixed into bundles by a professional to ensure proper diversity of planted material throughout the replanted areas. One IRS Project Manager was onsite to guarantee that the overall quality of the planting would exceed success criteria requirements. Table 2 details the species and the number of planted stems. Photo documentation is provided on pages 4-5 of the replanting effort. 1101 Haynes St., Suite 211 • Raleigh, NC 27604 • www.restorationsystems.com • Ph 919.755.9490 • Fx 919.755.9492 Restoration Systems, LLC DWR #2020-1665v2 / White Farm Nutrient Offset Site / Completion of Adaptive Management Plan Page 2 Table 1: Remedial planting species and number of stems Common Name Species Number of Stems River birch Betula nigra 500 Yellow Poplar Liriodendron tulipifera 500 Mulberry Morus rubra 500 Sycamore Platanus Occidentalis 1,000 Oak (Swamp chestnut) Quercus michauxii 500 Total Five species 8,150 If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 512.230.0424.
