Britt & Hales Nutrient Offset and Riparian Buffer Mitigation Bank (or Parcel) is located near
Mt. Olive, NC, in the Upper Falling Creek watershed of the Neuse River Basin. The Site is
approximately 6.5 miles northwest of Mt. Olive and 1.7 miles south of US Highway 13 on
McArthur Pond Road in Wayne County. The Bank Parcel Development Package (BPDP) was
approved April 2023 under the Britt and Hales Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI)
between the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (DWR) and the Bank Sponsor,
Eco Terra, LLC.
The Parcel is approximately 24.7 acres encompassing a series of forked, interconnected
ditches and unnamed tributaries to Falling Creek. The Parcel is located within Neuse 01,
specifically 8-digit hydrological unit code (HUC) 03020201. The Bank was approved for
riparian buffer credit (RBC) and nutrient offset credit (NOC) in the service area designated
by Neuse River Basin HUC 03020201 (outside Falls Lake). The Parcel lies 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 Parcel, and
subsequently into the Neuse River. According to the as-built survey and 2022 DWR Buffer
Mitigation Calculation Tool, the Bank is on track to generate 333,957.870 RBC and
33,148.872 pounds of nitrogen NOC.
1.1 Project Goals
Project goals and objectives are consistent with those specified in the 2018 Neuse River
Basin Restoration Priorities (RBRP). As stated in the RBRP, restoration of riparian buffers
and adjacent riparian areas to address agricultural runoff is a priority for this HUC.
Continued Bank success assists DWR in meeting the following goals of the RBRP:
1. Reduce agricultural runoff (i.e., nutrients and sediment)
2. Restore/support terrestrial and aquatic habitat with a riparian corridor
3. Protect the Parcel in perpetuity
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 DWR with an impairment for dissolved oxygen.
The Parcel and surrounding areas are open agricultural land, primarily farmed for row
crops. The Parcel improves terrestrial habitats along streams and ditches by establishing
and preserving the riparian buffers and riparian areas and allowing the land to undergo a
natural succession back to a native, forested community. The Parcel restores forested
riparian buffers and riparian areas 50-200 feet from viable project features and removes
rotating crops and fertilizer inputs. The restored riparian buffers and riparian areas filter
agricultural runoff from the surrounding farm fields and, over time, will provide shading

to reduce stream temperatures and improve aquatic habitat. Invasive vegetation will be
managed as needed within the Parcel to promote native vegetation.
1.2 Existing Site Conditions
The Parcel was successfully planted in 2023 with native seedlings and is now at the end of
the first (1st) full growing season of successful riparian restoration. The Parcel has begun
converting approximately 22 acres of agricultural fields into forested buffers and riparian
areas along three unnamed tributaries (UT1, UT2, UT3) and three agricultural ditches (Ditch
A1, B1, B2). The restored Parcel is set within a larger 180-acre parcel and surrounded by
agricultural fields farmed for row crops.
As Figure 1 illustrates, Ditch A1 emerges from a farm path south of the Parcel and flows
north along the eastern Parcel border before turning west through the project area and
transitioning into UT1. UT1, an intermittent stream, continues to flow west, turning north
before merging with UT2, which continues northwards as UT3 to the Parcel terminus.
Ditches B1 and B2 flow east and west, respectively, until the confluence with UT2, an
intermittent stream. UT2 flows west to the confluence with Ditch B2, then turns north and
northeast through the site until its confluence with UT1. It should be noted the centerline
of Ditch A1 forms the eastern boundary of the conservation easement. The Parcel is
composed of and surrounded entirely by agricultural fields, except for two small wetland
areas (~0.2 acres) with existing trees and vegetation that have been preserved along UT1
and Ditch A1.
Restoration activities saw buffers and adjacent riparian areas planted up to 200 feet from
the top-of-bank of streams and viable channels, thereby removing rotating crops and
fertilizer inputs. The restored Neuse riparian buffer and adjacent riparian areas will filter
runoff from the surrounding farm fields and provide shading to improve stream
temperatures and aquatic habitat. Vegetative success criteria was confirmed at all plots,
with stem densities ranging from 400 to 800 stems per acre.
Riparian buffer and adjacent riparian area restoration was accomplished in accordance
with the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule (15A NCAC 02B .0295) and the Nutrient
Offset Credit Trading Rule (15A NCAC 02B .0703). Viable areas within 200 linear feet of the
top-of-bank of subject streams, as measured from top-of-bank landward, were planted
and devoted to generating riparian buffer mitigation credits. Mitigation credits generated
are listed in Table 2 as based upon the DWR Buffer Mitigation Calculation Tool v5
(November 2022).

Parcel construction was completed in late March and early April 2023 with follow-up
activities in May. Eco Terra and supporting team members successfully planted and
restored the proposed areas dedicated for riparian buffer and adjacent riparian area
restoration with native hardwood seedlings, as well as temporary and permanent seed
covers. Because the land within the Parcel had been historically used for row crops, it
required minimal soil disturbance to install the plants.
3.1 Riparian Area Restoration Activities
In accordance with the Mitigation Plan, restoration of riparian areas involved the planting
of one- and two-year old bareroot seedlings in zones specific to soil and site conditions.
Planting activities utilized a combination of mechanical and manual methods depending
on site conditions and location. A tractor ripped and planted most of the rows while
handplanting occurred along tops-of-banks. Native hardwood seedlings were distributed
evenly across the Parcel at an approximate 10 ft x 6 ft spacing. Approximately 16,700 stems
(~752 stems/acre) representing 12 native hardwood species were planted within the
riparian areas designated for restoration. It is expected that the initial planted density will
be sufficient in meeting the performance standards of 260 trees per acre at the end of five
years, as outlined in Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 and the MBI.
The Mitigation Program Requirements for Protection and Maintenance of Riparian Buffers
(15A NCAC 02B .0295) set forth specific performance criteria for the successful
development and closeout of the Site. Performance criteria consists of annual monitoring
of planted stems and standardized vegetation plots including: individual plot photo
documentation; overall site photo documentation; and biannual visual assessments for
easement integrity, invasive species and/or herbaceous competition, stem mortality, stand
health, incidental damage from agricultural equipment, and stem loss/damage from
natural causes (such as fire, disease, or animal behavior). Figure 1 illustrates the location
of project easement, fixed vegetation plots, and photo points.
4.1 Vegetation
Eighteen (18) fixed vegetation plots were established according to the most recent
Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) protocol within the restored buffer area. Representative
vegetation plots were established at a minimum density of 2% of the planted area.
Specifically, vegetation monitoring was obtained for all plots according to the CVS-EEP
Level I Protocol for Recording Vegetation manual, v4.2 (2008). Monitoring year one (MY1)
vegetation stem data is included in Table 3. In summary, all vegetation plots met success
criteria by averaging 651 stems/acre, 3.0 vigor, and a stem height of 53 cm.

4.2 Photo Reference Stations
Site reference photo points were taken at designated points along the conservation
easement boundary, providing an overall view of project success (Appendix 2). Individual
plot photos were taken at the approximate southwest corner (origin) of each plot and are
included in Appendix 3. All photo points were located by survey and georeferenced for
map production to provide a consistent means for photo replication annually, or in the
event a plot or photo location must be reestablished during the monitoring period. Photo
orientation (direction and bearing) were recorded as well as approximate vertical position
for consistency in photo logging.
4.3 Visual Assessments
Additional observations were made of site conditions and vegetation conditions outside
of monitoring plots. No encroachments or significant presense of invasives were observed.
Biannual visual assessments will continue in order to appropriately monitor changing site
conditions and address any issues to ensure Site success and performance criteria are met
in subsequent monitoring years.
4.4 Annual Reporting Performance Criteria
All monitoring reports, including this annual report, will be compiled and submitted to
DWR annually in accordance with the MBI. Annual monitoring will occur for a minimum of
five years or until performance criteria are met.
4.5 Maintenance and Contingency Plans
Any Parcel observations identified through vegetation plots or visual assessments,
whereby the performance criteria is not met, will be noted and discussed in the annual
reports and addressed with a contingency plan as necessary. DWR will be notified and, if
necessary, collaborate with Eco Terra to develop a contingency plan with remedial action
steps to correct the performance criteria deficiency. Any contingency plan and remedial
actions will occur within an agreed timeframe and monitoring adjusted accordingly, if
necessary. Parcel problem areas will be monitored biannually to ensure performance
criteria are met following any remedial action.
