Wildlands Holdings XI, LLC is managed by Wildlands Engineering, Inc. (Wildlands) and was developed for the sole purpose of holding mitigation banks. The bank is called King Mill Lowgrounds (Site) and will be planned and designed in a single phase. The Site is located in Johnston County. The purpose of the Bank is to provide stream and wetland mitigation credits to compensate for impacts to Waters of the United States and/or State Waters within the service area, Hydrologic Unit 03020201, as depicted in Figure 1. 1.0 Mitigation Bank Introduction and Objectives 1.1 Introduction The King Mill Lowgrounds Mitigation Site being established under the existing Bank is located on a combination of agricultural and forest land. The Site contains one side of Black Creek and four unnamed tributaries to Black Creek that, for the purpose of this project, are referred to as Langdon Tributary, King Mill Creek, Pond Tributary, Barn Tributary, and East Tributary. The Site is located in the DWR Subbasin 03-04-04. All project streams flow to the Neuse River which is classified as water supply V and nutrient sensitive water. A review of historic aerials from 1950 to present shows that most of the site has remained unchanged during that period. However, between 1961 and 1964 the landowner constructed the berm that now runs along the entire length of King Mill Creek within the project area. The berm separates King Mill Creek from Black Creek from the point where King Mill Creek enters the Black Creek floodplain to the downstream extent of the project. It appears likely that King Mill Creek was ditched and straightened on the property at this time. In 2021 approximately 46 acres of the Black Creek floodplain was logged on the east side of the site. The area was not stumped and no grading took place. Within the project area, the streams slated for restoration are incised and erosion is prevalent due to historic channelization. West Branch and Black Creek are not incised or eroded. Wetlands have been degraded due to channel incision and drainage as well as berm construction. The Sponsor proposes to include 5,139 LF of stream preservation and up to 9,887 LF of stream restoration. The project will also include approximately71.0 acres of wetland preservation, 106 acres of wetland enhancement, 10 acres of wetland creation, and up to 23 acres of wetland re-establishment. This stream and wetland mitigation will include a conservation easement area that is estimated to total up to approximately 334 acres. 1.2 Bank Location The proposed Bank (35.477677° N, 78.480853' W) is in southeastern Johnston County approximately eight miles southwest of Smithfield (Figure 1, Figure 2). The site is located within the Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 030202011203. The project site drains to Black Creek, Holts Lake, and eventually the Neuse River. To get to the Site from Raleigh, NC take 1-40 East for 18 miles to Exit 319 for Highway 210. Take a left of Highway 210 and then a right on Raleigh Road in 0.2 miles. Take Raleigh Road for three miles then turn left on King Mill Road. The entrance to the site is on the right in two miles. 1.3 Goals and Objectives The proposed Bank described above will provide numerous ecological benefits within the Neuse River Basin. Project benefits include site specific improvements and watershed scale benefits. The project goals and related objectives are described in Table 1. Project goals are desired project outcomes and objectives are activities that will result in the accomplishment of goals. The project will be W Widllands Neuse 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank King Mill Lowgrounds Mitigation Site Draft Prospectus Page 1 monitored after construction to demonstrate success. A detailed monitoring program will be described in the forthcoming mitigation plan. Table 1.

This service area includes the Neuse 01 (Hydrologic Unit 03030002) and the City of Raleigh, Falls Lake, Wake Forest, Hillsboro, Creedmoor, Rolesville, Garner, Knightdale, Cary, Clayton, Smithfield, and portions of the City of Durham, Morrisville, Holly Springs, and Fuquay-Varina. 2.4 Need and Feasibility of Mitigation Bank 2.4.1 Need Basinwide The Neuse 01 riverbasin, as described in the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) 2009 Neuse River Basinwide Water Quality Plan (RBWQP), is undergoing rapid population growth. Wake County is the most populous county in the state as of 2020, growing by 25.4% between 2010 and 2020 (ncdemography.org). Johnston County grew by 27.9%, and Durham by 21.4% in that same time period. Wake, Johnston, and Durham Counties are expected to grow by 18.4%, 25%, and 13.9% respectively by 2030 (NC Office of State Budget and Management, 2020). This increase in population increases developmental pressures, change in land use, and the need for expanded infrastructure (roads, utilities, etc.) all of which create the necessity for impacts to Waters of the United States to be mitigated appropriately and allow the economic growth of this region to continue while the environment and water quality remain a priority. Widllands Neuse 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank King Mill Lowgrounds Mitigation Site Draft Prospectus Page 3 The Sponsor expects Bank customers will include private enterprises and public entities with North Carolina Division of Transportation (NCDOT) as the primary client. Figure 3 depicts the potential projects set forth by NCDOT for fiscal years 2015-2025 within the Neuse 01 watershed. This includes transportation projects along several state, regional, and transition highways. Sources: Carolina Demography.

There are no current state or watershed plans associated with this subbasin. This 14-digit HUC was listed as a targeted local watershed in the 2015 Neuse 01 RRiver Basin Restoration Priorities document published by NCDMS. The watershed is dominated by forested land (52%) and agricultural land (41%). Major stressors include disturbed riparian buffers, agricultural land use, and animal operations. 2.4.2 Feasibility A Radius Map Report was ordered for the Site through Environmental Data Resources, Inc. (EDR) on November 13, 2023. The assessment identified one record of fecal coliform groundwater contamination within a one -mile radius of the Site that was reported by the North Caroline Department of Environmental Quality in 1995. The assessment revealed no evidence of any recognized environmental condition in connection to the proposed mitigation site. A summary of the EDR report is located in the appendix. The Site is located in a watershed that is dominated by forested land (52%) and agricultural land (41%). There is potential for further development within the watershed stemming from the continued development push into Johnston County. Based on the preliminary existing conditions assessments performed at the site in 2023, Wildlands is confident the Site has substantial potential for the development of a viable mitigation bank. Although there are no official RBWQP goals to address, the restoration plan does address issues associated with long term agricultural land use and its effects on the aquatic resources on site. The project will provide substantial uplift to the Black Creek watershed. 3.0 Ecological Suitability of Site 3.1 Bank Site Characterization The Site is on five parcels and surrounded by agricultural land. Most of the Site is forest land characterized by a mid -successional canopy. The existing conditions of Bank streams are described in Section 3.1.1, existing wetlands are described in Section 3.1.2, and existing vegetation is described in Section 3.1.3. The appendix contains stream determination forms and stream geomorphic data. Figures 4 and 5 are topographic and LiDAR maps of the site, Figure 6 illustrates the existing Site conditions, and Figure 7 is a map of the project stream watersheds. Widllands Neuse 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank King Mill Lowgrounds Mitigation Site Draft Prospectus Page 4 3.1.1 Existing Conditions - Streams Langdon Tributary Langdon Tributary originates from a backwater swamp upstream of the project area and flows southeast on the Site until it reaches its confluence with Black Creek. Langdon Tributary is a low slope blackwater system with gum and cypress lining the stream banks. Significant fish life was observed. The upper end of Langdon Tributary appears to have natural levee features along both sides of the channel. Bed material is comprised of sand and silt. King Mill Creek King Mill Creek is a perennial stream that flows southeast through the Site. King Mill Creek flows through a pond upstream of the Site, and then flows on Site through a culvert below King Mill Road. Between 1961 and 1964 the landowner constructed the berm that now runs along the entire length of King Mill Creek within the project area. The berm also separates King Mill Creek from Black Creek from the point where King Mill Creek enters the Black Creek floodplain to the downstream extent of the project. It appears likely that King Mill Creek was ditched and straightened through the woods at this time. From King Mill Road to the point where King Mill Creek enters the Black Creek floodplain, the stream banks are actively eroding and the stream is highly incised with a measured bank height ratio of 3.1 in cross section 6. The channel splits around what appears to be a relic dam structure and then recombines. The berm mentioned previously runs along the left side for the entire length of King Mill Creek Reach 1 separating it from the agricultural fields. Bed form diversity is poor with pool formation almost non-existent. Bed material is comprised of sand, gravel, and silt. Large woody debris is minimal. At the point where King Mill Creek enters the Black Creek floodplain a remnant channel with low banks and clear fluvial features such as a natural meandering pattern and point bar formation in the pools was located. Historical mapping (including a 1906 and 1908 USGS map) of the area was located but did not provide clear evidence whether this channel was created by Black Creek or King Mill Creek. In an effort to identify which creek would have occupied this channel, four cross sections (cross sections 1-4) were surveyed with the intent of comparing to regional curve data. The drainage areas and cross -sectional areas predicted by the two published regional curves for the NC Coastal Plain are shown below in Table 3. Table 3. Drainage Area and Regional Curve Predictions Reach Drainage Area Z (mi) Bankfull Area (NC State) Bankfull Area (Ecoscience) King Mill 1.8 21 15 Black Creek 78.2 258 237 The channel area measured at top of bank in two riffle cross sections was 16.5 ft2 and 20.6 ft2. This area was compared to the area predicted by the two regional curves. The results of this assessment indicate that the remnant channel was likely formed by flow from King Mill Creek rather than Black Creek. King Mill Creek was almost certainly channelized from the point where it enters the Black Creek floodplain to the downstream end of the project in the early 1960s in combination with the berm construction. Further evidence of this channelization is apparent when comparing the area at top of bank of the King Mill Creek channel (78 ft2) with the area of the adjacent berm (82 ft2) in cross section 5. Widllands Neuse 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank W King Mill Lowgrounds Mitigation Site Draft Prospectus Page 5 These almost identical dimensions provide solid evidence that the current King Mill channel was excavated and the material was used to construct the berm. It is possible that this was the point in time when King Mill Creek was disconnected from the remnant channel. King Mill Creek is incised through this reach with a measured bank height ratio of 3.0 in cross section 5A. Bank erosion is less prevalent due to the minimal flow through this reach. Woody debris and bedform diversity are mostly absent. Pond Tributary Pond Tributary Reach 1 starts at a pipe outlet from a pond adjacent to King Mill Road. The channel is shallow within a pine tree stand for the first 100 feet but quickly becomes incised within the agricultural fields. The measured bank height ratio in cross section 7 is 4.1 meaning this reach is severely incised. Bank erosion is frequent with several locations of mass wasting. This reach lacks pattern and woody debris and has limited bedform diversity. Bed material is comprised of sand, gravel, and silt. Reach 2 begins where Pond Tributary enters the recent timbered woods. The channel returns to a shallow stable channel within the floodplain of Black Creek. Large woody debris is plentiful in Reach 2. The riparian area is in an early successional state as is described in Section 3.1.3. Bed material is comprised of sand and silt. East Tributary East Tributary Reach 1 enters the property from a culvert under Tap Lane. The channel is shallow for the first 100 feet but quickly becomes incised with a measured bank height ratio in cross section 9 of 2.2. Bank erosion is frequent with several locations of mass wasting. The channel exhibits natural pattern, moderate bedform diversity, and has plentiful woody debris. It appears that the channel was in good condition in the recent past but has incised recently. Bed material is comprised of sand, gravel, and silt. Forested buffer widths vary in Reach 1 from 50 to 150 feet on the left side of the stream, and 5 to 100 feet on the right side of the stream. Agricultural fields make up the rest of the buffer. Reach 2 begins where East Tributary enters the recent timbered woods. The channel returns to a shallow stable channel within the floodplain of Black Creek. Large woody debris is plentiful in Reach 2. The riparian area is in an early successional state as is described in Section 3.1.3. Bed material is comprised of sand and silt. Barn Tributary Barn Tributary begins at a springhead. The stream quickly becomes incised with a measured bank height ratio of 2.4 in cross section 8 and remains deeply incised to its confluence with Pond Tributary. Bank erosion is frequent with several locations of mass wasting. This reach lacks pattern and woody debris and has limited bedform diversity. Bed material is comprised of sand and silt. Table 4 provides drainage area size and intermittent/perennial status by stream reach.

West of King Mill Creek, wetlands are generally high quality with functioning hydrology and a native bottomland forest. Much of this area is seasonally saturated and only inundated when Black Creek floods. Depressions and sloughs within this area may be seasonally to semi -permanently inundated which adds to the habitat diversity. When assessed using NCWAM, this wetland area (Areas A and B) scored high for the hydrology, water quality, and habitat subfunctions, resulting in an overall score of high. The forested wetland area to the east of King Mill Creek but west of the cutover (Area C) has a moderate level of function. Vegetation is in excellent condition and groundwater hydrology is intact enough for the area to qualify as jurisdictional. The primary stressor to this area is the berm running along King Mill Creek and Black Creek. The berm prevents overbank flooding from accessing this area which removes any value associated with storage and treatment of floodwater and likely reduces hydroperiod. Using NCWAM Area C scored high for habitat, but medium in the water quality and hydrology subfunctions, resulting in an overall score of medium. The cutover area (Area D) also has reduced overbank flooding as a result of the berm. This area provides habitat for organisms that thrive in thick, low vegetation, but lacks the structural elements of a mature forest. Area D scored medium in the hydrology and water quality subfunctions, but scored low in habitat due to the recent clearcutting. It received an overall score of medium. Existing wetland areas are depicted on Figure 6 and NCWAM scoresheets are included in Appendix E. The agricultural fields to the east of King Mill Creek and north of the wood line contain hydric soils but do not have a contemporary wetland hydrology regime. This suggests historic presence of wetlands that have been drained by ditching. 3.1.3 Existing Vegetation Riparian buffer conditions along project streams are varied across the Site. Vegetation zones can be classified into three categories: forested with a canopy (forested), recently harvested forest with naturally regenerated growth less than one year old (cutover), and agriculture fields. Beginning at the Widllands Neuse 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank W King Mill Lowgrounds Mitigation Site Draft Prospectus Page 7 western extent of the project area, the left and right floodplains of Langdon Tributary consist of mature bottomland hardwood forest extending over 300 feet on both sides, except where the stream approaches an electrical transmission easement. Starting at the upper extent of its reach, the right floodplain of King Mill Creek consists of mixed hardwood forest extending over 300 feet that transitions to bottomland hardwood forest as the stream approaches the floodplain of Black Creek. The left floodplain of King Mill Creek consists of an active agriculture field with a narrow row of trees and transitions to bottomland hardwood forest as the stream flows to the floodplain of Black Creek. The right and left floodplains of Pond Tributary consist of active agriculture fields and open areas dominated by pasture grasses. The right and left floodplains of East Tributary consist of mature mixed hardwood forest extending between 30 to 50 feet from both banks with agricultural fields and maintained herbaceous areas beyond. As Pond Tributary and East Tributary flow towards Black Creek, they enter a recently clearcut area and the community type on both sides becomes the cutover type with a narrow row of mature trees along both banks. The cutover buffer extends several hundred feet from the right bank of Pond Tributary and from 50 to several hundred feet from the left bank of East Tributary. With the exception of the cutover area and transmission line easement, the entire floodplain of Black Creek consists of bottomland hardwood forest within the valley bottom. Areas with a forested canopy primarily include swamp tupelo (Nyssa biflora), red maple (Acer rubrum), water oak (Quercus nigra), swamp chestnut oak (Quercus michauxii), willow oak (Quercus phellos), overcup oak (Querucs lyrata), and the occasional river birch (eetula nigra) in the overstory. The midstory was typically characterized by American holly (Ilex opaca), sweetbay magnolia (Magnolia virginiana), red maple, sweetgum (Liquidambarstyraciflua), sweetleaf (Symplocos tinctoria), and greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia). While Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) was observed in the midstory, individuals were scattered and not dominating the strata. The cutover area was characterized by herbaceous vegetation characteristic of areas that experience long-term inundation or saturation like cattails (Typha spp.), giant cane (Arundinaria gigantea), switchcane (Arundinaria tecta), Carex spp., Persicaria spp., and Juncus spp. Young early successional sapling species such as sweetgum and loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) were readily observed, but other desirable, slower growing species such as willow oak, water oak, and sweetbay magnolia have successfully regenerated and were observed in the cutover area as well. 3.1.4 Soils The proposed project is mapped by the Web Soil Survey for Johnston County. The primary project area soils are described below in Table 5. Figure 8 provides a soil map of the Site. Wehadkee soils are mapped within a majority of the project area in the broad floodplain of Black Creek and lower floodplains of its tributaries. Tomotley and Augusta sandy loams and Altavista fine sandy loam soils are mapped on flat stream terraces higher in the floodplain of Black Creek. Gilead sandy loam and Uchee loamy coarse sand soils are generally mapped on hillslopes and ridges. Widllands Neuse 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank W King Mill Lowgrounds Mitigation Site Draft Prospectus Page 8 Table 5. Project Soil Types and Descriptions Soil Name Description Wehadkee soils are somewhat poorly drained and found on slopes ranging from 0 to 2% and commonly have inclusions of Chewacla soils. They are frequently Wehadkee Loam flooded and typically located on floodplains. Permeability is moderately high to high. Their composition is from loamy alluvium derived from igneous and metamorphic rock. Tomotley soils are poorly drained and found on slopes ranging from 0 to 2%. Tomotley Sandy Loam They are rarely flooded and typically located on stream terraces. Permeability is moderately high to high. Their composition is from old loamy alluvium derived from igneous and metamorphic rock. Altavista soils are well drained and found on slopes ranging from 0 to 2% within Altavista Fine Sandy Loam the Site. They are located on stream terraces and are occasionally flooded. Permeability is moderately high to high. They form from old loamy alluvium derived from igneous and metamorphic rock. Augusta soils are somewhat poorly drained and found on slopes ranging from 0 Augusta Sandy Loam to 2%. They are located on stream terraces and are occasionally flooded. Permeability is moderately high to high. They form from old loamy alluvium derived from igneous and metamorphic rock. Gilead soils are moderately well drained and found on slopes ranging from 2 to Gilead Sandy Loam 15% within the Site. They are typically located on ridges. Permeability is very low to moderately high. They form from clayey marine deposits. Uchee soils within the Site are well drained and found on slopes from 2 to 12% Uchee Loamy Coarse Sand within the Site. They are located on ridges and broad interstream divides. Permeability is moderately high. They form from loamy and sandy marine deposits.

The archaeological site files at the North Carolina Office of State Archaeology (OSA) have not been reviewed at this time. All appropriate cultural resource agencies will be contacted for their review and comment prior to any land disturbing activity. 3.3 Threatened and Endangered Species Wildlands searched the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NHP) databases to identify federally listed threatened and endangered plant and animal species that have the potential to occur within the project area. According to these sources, the project area is within the expected range of the tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus), red -cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), Neuse River waterdog (Necturus lewisi), Carolina madtom (Noturus furiosus), Atlantic pigtoe (Fusconaia masoni), and monarch butterly (Danaus plexippus). The tricolored bat is currently proposed for listing as an endangered species and the monarch butterly (Danaus plexippus) is currently a candidate for listing. The red -cockaded woodpecker and Carolina madtom are currently listed as endangered, and the Neuse River waterdog and Atlantic pigtoe are listed as threatened. A cursory pedestrian survey conducted on November 16, 2023 indicated that the project area provides suitable habitat for the tri-colored bat in the form of forested riparian buffers for foraging, and large tracts of forest for roosting. The project area contains suitable habitat for the monarch butterfly and Widllands Neuse 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank King Mill Lowgrounds Mitigation Site Draft Prospectus Page 9 Neuse River waterdog, as well. Suitable habitat was not found for the Carolina madtom or red -cockaded woodpecker. Wildlands will conduct a full review for protected species in the mitigation planning phase and will coordinate with USFWS and NCWRC as necessary based on that review. 3.4 Floodplain Compliance Black Creek and Site tributaries are mapped in a Zone AE Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) on Johnston County Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) Panel 1642. A limited detailed study has been performed on Black Creek with base flood elevations defined and delineated floodplain and floodway. The remaining tributaries do not have detailed hydraulic studies performed, but the downstream portions of these reaches fall within the Black Creek SFHA. Effective hydraulic modeling for Black Creek will be obtained from the NC Floodplain Mapping Program. A no -rise condition will be pursued if compatible with stream restoration and floodplain It } 'r o � enhancement grading. If a no -rise condition is not attainable, then a CLOMR will be prepared. Wildlands' engineers have successfully navigated the CLOMR process for several similar full -delivery project sites. The project will be designed to avoid adverse floodplain impacts or hydrologic trespass on adjacent properties or local roads. 3.5 Site Constraints and Access Jy',- One external crossing is proposed at the Site to allow for an existing transmission line crossing of a preservation wetland. The crossing is summarized and numbered below in Table 6 and on Figures 9a through 9c. Table 6: Proposed Easement Crossings Internal orExternal No. Width (ft) Location Crossing Type Purpose Wetland 1 250 External Utility Transmission Line Crossing Preservation The easement boundaries around streams proposed for mitigation credit provide the required 50-foot minimum riparian buffer for Coastal Plain streams. The entire easement area can be accessed for construction, monitoring, and long-term stewardship from King Mill Road. There are no airports within five miles of the Site. 4.0 Mitigation Work Plan 4.1 Streams The proposed bank will include 5,139 LF of stream preservation and up to 9,887 LF of stream restoration. The project will also include approximately 71.0 acres of wetland preservation, 106 acres of wetland enhancement, 10 acres of wetland creation, and up to 23 acres of wetland re-establishment. These approaches were chosen to provide the highest degree of ecological uplift to the system. Figures 9a through 9c provide an overview of the proposed mitigation activities on the site. Widllands Neuse 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank King Mill Lowgrounds Mitigation Site Draft Prospectus Page 10 Project streams proposed for restoration include King Mill Creek, Barn Tributary, Pond Tributary Reach 1, and East Tributary Reach 1. The restoration reaches are all incised and eroded. The restoration reaches will be designed and built with appropriate dimension, pattern, and profile to allow for frequent overbank flooding, provide stable bank slopes, enable biological lift, and reconnect streams with wetlands and existing floodplains. Reference streams will be identified and will serve as one of the primary sources of information on which restoration designs are based. Wildlands has developed a general approach to be used as the basis for stream restoration design. The design approach, which is tailored to each site, continues to develop as additional projects are implemented. Three different options for the stream restoration are described below. Concept A provides an alignment alternative that utilizes a low-lying path through an agriculture field. This alignment was considered a possible historic flow path by reviewing the alignment of the valley upstream of the project site and extending it down to Black Creek. A preliminary survey of this alignment indicates that an area approximately 500 feet immediately downstream of King Mill Road will require floodplain excavation but the remainder of the alignment will be Priority 1 restoration. Concept B provides an alternative to Concept A that takes the shortest path to the confluence with Black Creek. Concept C provides an alignment alternative that utilizes the remnant channel described in Section 3.1.1. that was possibly the original alignment of King Mill Creek. The restoration approach in Concept C utilizes the remnant channel as part of the restoration design. Returning flow to this historic channel is a rare opportunity to achieve the highest level of restoration by recreating an historic condition. In addition, the remnant channel will be used as a reference reach providing an exact blueprint for channel design. While the evidence around the remnant channel appears convincing, this approach does create a short reach where King Mill Creek runs parallel to Black Creek within the Black Creek floodplain. All three of these concepts will involve removal of the berm that separates Black Creek from its historic floodplain. The berm will be used to fill the adjacent excavated King Mill Creek channel. Removal of this berm will restore a natural flooding regime to approximately 120 acres of Black Creek floodplain. Outside of a few short transition zones at upstream or downstream ends of reaches and the section of King Mill Creek in Concept B described above, all reaches proposed for restoration will be designed with a Priority 1 approach, raising channel beds to reconnect them with existing floodplains. Priority 1 elevation will allow the restored streams to be connected to adjacent wetland restoration areas. Bank revetments such as brush toes will be used to stabilize the outside banks around bends. In -stream structures will be installed to promote water quality, increase bed and bank stabilization, provide bedform diversity, and increase aquatic and terrestrial habitat. Wildlands plans to evaluate stream substrate and determine appropriate gradations/bed features for the Site streams. Langdon Tributary, Pond Tributary Reach 2, and East Tributary Reach 2 are proposed as stream preservation. These reaches are stable with low bank height ratios. Supplemental planting is not proposed on Pond and East Tributaries in the cutover area because the wetness of this area will inhibit tree growth and the seed source is anticipated to quickly lead to desirable regrowth. 4.2 Wetlands Proposed wetland mitigation includes preservation and enhancement of existing wetlands, re- establishment of historic wetlands, and wetland creation. Wetland enhancement will primarily include Widllands Neuse 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank King Mill Lowgrounds Mitigation Site Draft Prospectus Page 11 hydrologic improvement. Invasives species treatment will be conducted in wetland enhancement areas if needed, primarily within areas disturbed during construction and along streambanks where Chinese privet is more prevalent. The greatest uplift to enhancement areas will come from removal of the 25- foot-tall berm separating Black Creek and King Mill Creek from their floodplains. Re-establishing floodplain access for these streams will increase the storage and treatment of floodwaters and lead to a wetter hydroperiod within the wetland. Wetland re-establishment will restore hydrology to areas of hydric soil that lack a current wetland hydrology regime by filling agricultural drainage ditches. Wetland creation will be accomplished by grading upland areas in the Black Creek floodplain. These convex, elevated landforms are naturally occurring due to floodplain depositional processes but contain aquic soil conditions at depth. To create wetlands, soil would be excavated to approximately match the adjacent floodplain elevations. Soil and trees harvested from wetland creation areas would be utilized to backfill old channels and build in -stream structures. Improvements to hydrophytic vegetation communities in wetland re-establishment and enhancement areas will be tailored to address specific deficiencies of the current community. Wetlands proposed for preservation will not have significant changes to hydrologic or vegetative conditions but will be placed in a conservation easement in perpetuity. Proposed wetland mitigation areas are depicted on Figures 9a, 9b, and 9c. 4.3 Vegetation Plan Much of the project area is currently a diverse, functioning, mature forest. Diverse, native plant communities will be re-established where impacted by construction. A native riparian buffer will be established surrounding the realigned channel of King Mill Creek and the upper reaches of Pond Tributary and East Tributary that have little to no forested buffer. Live stake shrub species will be planted along restored streambanks to provide soil stabilization, shade, and carbon inputs. Although the cutover area has numerous volunteer loblolly pines and sweetgums, it also appears to have adequate regeneration of desirable species to succeed towards a mature native bottomland forest in the long term. Working with vegetation already present in this area would likely have a favorable outcome over a more intensive approach such as vegetation removal and replanting. The wetland preservation areas to the west of King Mill Creek provide an excellent reference vegetation community. Specifics of the planting plan will be based on observations of reference vegetation, species compatibility with expected site conditions, and prior project experience. Areas with an existing wooded riparian corridor will be treated for invasive species as needed, primarily in areas disturbed during construction and on streambanks where Chinese privet is more likely to establish. The Site will be protected in perpetuity under a conservation easement and will be marked per IRT guidelines. 5.0 Determination of Mitigation Credits The mitigation stream and wetland credit calculations were derived using the US Army Corps of Engineers' Stream Mitigation Guidance and was based on Wildlands' conceptual design for maximum ecological uplift. Given the existing conditions of the stream channels, wetlands, the disturbance factors, and the constraints, management objectives for each reach have been established. Widllands Neuse 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank King Mill Lowgrounds Mitigation Site Draft Prospectus Page 12 The proposal contains Concepts A, B, and C, all of which are a combination of stream restoration and preservation, and wetland preservation, enhancement, re-establishment, and creation. Stream restoration is proposed at a ratio of 1:1 and stream preservation is proposed at 10:1. Wetland re- establishment is proposed at a ratio of 1:1. Wetland enhancement is proposed at 2:1 and 7.5:1. This crediting follows recent guidance from the USACE Wilmington District, which states that wetland enhancement is for areas that exhibit a moderate level of function but are somewhat degraded in one of the primary functional categories. Examples include restoring appropriate hydrology to a currently forested wetland by removing berms, minor drainage ditches, or conducting understory plantings. Wetland creation is proposed at 3:1. Wetland preservation is proposed at 7.5:1. Widllands Neuse 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank W King Mill Lowgrounds Mitigation Site Draft Prospectus Page 13 Table 7a.

Under no circumstances shall the Bank be debited until the necessary Department of Army (DA) authorization has been received for its construction or the District Engineer (DE) has otherwise provided written approval for the project in the case where no DA authorization is required for construction of the mitigation project. The DE, in consultation with the IRT, will determine if performance standards have been satisfied sufficiently to meet the requirements of the release schedules below. In cases where some performance standards have not been met, credits may still be released depending on the specifics of the case. Monitoring may be required to restart or be extended, depending on the extent to which the site fails to meet the specified performance standard. The release of project credits will follow the Monitoring Requirements and Performance Standards for Compensatory Mitigation in North Carolina, dated February 9, 2013. The proposed credit release schedule is shown in Tables 8 and 9. Table 8.

The initial allocation can be released without prior written approval of the DE upon satisfactory completion of the following activities: a. Execution of the UMBI by the Sponsor and the USACE. b. Approval of the final mitigation plan. c. Recordation of the conservation easement and delivery of a title opinion acceptable to the USACE. d. Delivery of the financial assurances described in the mitigation plan. e. 404 permit verification for construction of the site, if required. f. Documentation of the establishment of the long term/endowment/escrow account. 5.3 Subsequent Credit Releases All subsequent credit releases must be approved by the DE, in consultation with the IRT, based on a determination that required performance standards have been achieved. For stream projects, a reserve of 10% of a site's total stream credits shall be released after four bankfull events have occurred in separate years, provided the channel is stable and all other performance standards are met. In the event that less than four bankfull events occur during the monitoring period, release of these reserve credits shall be at the discretion of the IRT. As the bank approaches milestones associated with the credit release, Wildlands will submit a request for credit release to the DE along with documentation substantiating achievement of criteria required for release to occur. This documentation will be included with the annual monitoring report. Widllands Neuse 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank W King Mill Lowgrounds Mitigation Site Draft Prospectus Page 18 6.0 Performance Standards and Monitoring Plan The performance criteria for the Site will follow approved performance criteria presented in the October 2016 IRT Mitigation Monitoring Guidance. Annual monitoring and semi-annual site visits will be conducted to assess the condition of the completed project. Specific performance standard components are proposed for stream morphology, hydrology, vegetation, and wetland hydrology. Performance criteria will be evaluated throughout the seven years of post -construction monitoring. An outline of the performance criteria components follows. 6.1 Stream Morphological Parameters and Channel Stability Dimension Riffle cross sections on the restoration reaches should be stable and should show little change in bankfull area, bank height ratio, and width -to -depth ratio. Riffle cross sections should fall within the parameters defined for channels of the appropriate stream type. If any changes do occur, these changes will be evaluated to assess whether the stream channel is showing signs of instability. Changes in the channel that indicate a movement toward stability or enhanced habitat include a decrease in the width - to -depth ratio in meandering channels or an increase in pool depth. These sorts of bed changes do not constitute a problem or indicate a need for remedial actions. If channel changes indicate a movement toward stability, remedial action will not be taken. In order to assess channel dimension performance, permanent cross sections will be installed on restoration and reaches per the IRT Mitigation Monitoring Guidelines (October 2016). Each cross section will be permanently marked with pins to establish its location. Cross section surveys will include points measured at all breaks in slope, including top of bank, bankfull, edge of water, and thalweg. Cross section and bank pin surveys (if applicable) will be conducted in monitoring years one, two, three, five, and seven. Profile and Pattern Longitudinal profile surveys will be conducted during the as -built survey but will not be conducted during the seven-year monitoring period unless other indicators during the annual monitoring indicate a trend toward vertical and lateral instability. If a longitudinal profile is deemed necessary, monitoring will follow standards as described in the Stream Channel Reference Sites: An Illustrated Guide to Field Technique (Harrelson et. al., 1994) for the necessary reaches. 6.2 Hydrology Stream Four bankfull flow events, occurring in separate years, must be documented on the restoration reaches within the seven-year monitoring period. Stream monitoring will continue until success criteria in the form of four bankfull events in separate years have been documented. Bankfull events will be documented using photographs and either a crest gage or a pressure transducer, as appropriate for Site conditions. The selected measurement device will be installed in the stream within a surveyed riffle cross section, or surveyed in where necessary. Photographs will also be used to document the occurrence of debris lines and sediment deposition. Where restoration activities are proposed for intermittent streams, monitoring gages will be installed to track the frequency and duration of stream flow events. Continuous surface water flow within the Widllands Neuse 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank W King Mill Lowgrounds Mitigation Site Draft Prospectus Page 19 tributaries must be documented to occur every year for at least 30 consecutive days during the seven- year monitoring period. This 30-day period of flow can occur at any point during the year. Additional monitoring may be required if surface water flow cannot be documented due to abnormally dry conditions. Wetland Groundwater monitoring will be conducted for seven years after construction to evaluate the hydrologic condition of the restored wetland areas. Wetland groundwater gages will be installed in accordance with the techniques and standards described in the USACE document entitled "Technical Standard for Water -Table Monitoring of Potential Wetland Sites" (ERDC TN-WRAP-05-2, June 2005). Groundwater monitoring gages will be established throughout the wetland area to adequately characterize the different soils, vegetation communities, and surface topographic variations that are found across the Site. Performance criteria for the wetland hydrology of the Wehadkee soil series is 12-16% as provided by the 2016 Wilmington District Mitigation update. An appropriate value within this range will be selected as the wetland hydrologic performance criteria based on further Site investigation and discussions with the NCIRT. The growing season dates for wetland hydrology monitoring will be determined by a combination of soil temperature data, biological indicators of the growing season start and end, and consulting NRCS WETS tables for Johnston County. Per USACE guidance, soil temperature probes will be located at a depth of 12 inches. The growing season may not begin before March 1 of each year. 6.3 Vegetation The final vegetative success criteria will be the survival of 210 planted stems per acre in the riparian corridors at the end of the required monitoring period (year seven). The interim measure of vegetative success for the Site will be the survival of at least 320 native species stems per acre at the end of the third monitoring year and at least 260 stems per acre at the end of the fifth year of monitoring. Also, trees must average seven feet in height at the end of the fifth monitoring year, and ten feet in height at the end of the seventh monitoring year. If this performance standard is met by year five and stem density is trending towards success (i.e., vigor), and invasive species are not threatening ecological success, monitoring of vegetation on the Site may be terminated with written approval by the USACE in consultation with the IRT. The extent of invasive species coverage will also be monitored and controlled as necessary throughout the required monitoring period. Vegetation monitoring quadrants will be installed across the Site to measure the survival of the planted trees. The number of monitoring quadrants required, and frequency of monitoring will be based on the October 2016 IRT Mitigation Monitoring Guidance. Vegetation monitoring will occur in the summer and will follow the CVS-EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation (2008). 6.4 Other Parameters Photo Reference Stations Photographs should illustrate the Site's vegetation and morphological stability on an annual basis. Cross section photos should demonstrate no excessive erosion or degradation of the banks. Longitudinal photos should indicate the absence of persistent mid -channel bars within the channel or vertical incision. Grade control structures should remain stable. Deposition of sediment on the bank side of vane arms is preferable. Maintenance of scour pools on the channel side of vane arms is expected. Photographs will be taken once a year to visually document stability for seven years following construction. Permanent markers will be established and located with GPS equipment, so that the same locations and view directions on the Site are photographed each year. Photos will be used to monitor restoration and enhancement areas, as well as vegetation plots. Widllands Neuse 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank W King Mill Lowgrounds Mitigation Site Draft Prospectus Page 20 Longitudinal reference photos will be established at regular intervals along the channel by taking a photo looking upstream and downstream. Cross sectional photos will be taken of each permanent cross section looking upstream and downstream. Reference photos will also be taken for each of the vegetation plots. Representative digital photos of each permanent photo point, cross section, and vegetation plot will be taken when the stream and vegetation assessments are conducted. The photographer will make every effort to consistently maintain the same area in each photo over time. Visual Assessments Visual assessments should support the specific performance standards for each metric as described above. Visual assessments will be performed along stream reaches on a semi-annual basis during the seven-year monitoring period. Problem areas such as channel instability (e.g. lateral and/or vertical instability, instream structure failure/instability and/or piping, headcuts), vegetation health (e.g. low stem density, vegetation mortality, invasive species, or encroachment), beaver activity, or livestock access will be noted. Areas of concern will be mapped and photographed and will be accompanied by a written description in the annual report. Problem areas will be re-evaluated during each subsequent visual assessment. Should remedial actions be required, a plan of action will be provided in the annual monitoring report. Benthic Macroinvertebrates If required by DWR as part of the project's permitting process, benthic macroinvertebrate sampling will be performed on the restored site. Any required sampling will be performed using DWR Standard Operating Procedures for Benthic Macroinvertebrates (October 2012). 7.0 Maintenance and Long -Term Sustainability 7.1 Maintenance The Bank shall be monitored on a regular basis and a physical inspection of the project shall be conducted at a minimum of once per year throughout the post -construction monitoring period until performance standards are met. These site inspections may identify site components and features that require routine maintenance. Routine maintenance will be conducted to rectify identified deficiencies and may include the activities listed in Table 10. Widllands Neuse 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank W King Mill Lowgrounds Mitigation Site Draft Prospectus Page 21 Table 10. Maintenance Plan Component/Feature Maintenance Through Project Close -Out Routine channel maintenance and repair activities may include chinking of in -stream structures to prevent piping, securing loose coir matting, and supplemental Stream installations of live stakes and other target vegetation along the channel. Areas where stormwater and floodplain flows intercept the channel may also require maintenance to prevent bank failures and head -cutting. Beaver dams that inundate the streams channels shall be removed and the beaver shall be trapped. Vegetation shall be maintained to ensure the health and vigor of the targeted community. Routine vegetation maintenance and repair activities may include supplemental planting, pruning, mulching, and fertilizing. Exotic invasive plant Vegetation species affecting the viability of the mitigation shall be controlled by mechanical and/or chemical methods. Any vegetation control requiring herbicide application will be performed in accordance with the NC Department of Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations. Site boundaries shall be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between the bank site and adjacent properties. Boundaries may be identified by fence, marker, Site Boundary bollard, post, tree -blazing, or other means as allowed by site conditions and/or conservation easement. Boundary markers disturbed, damaged, or destroyed will be repaired and/or replaced on an as -needed basis. 7.2 Adaptive Management Upon completion of site construction, the Sponsor will implement the post -construction monitoring protocols and minor remedial actions (routine maintenance) will be performed as needed for the duration of the monitoring period. The Sponsor will notify the USACE immediately if monitoring results or visual observations suggest a trend towards instability, major remedial actions are needed, or that performance standards cannot be achieved. Should major remedial measures be required, the Sponsor will submit a Corrective Action Plan and coordinate with the USACE until authorization is secured to conduct the adaptive management activities. The Sponsor is responsible for funding and/or providing the services necessary to secure any necessary permits to support the proposed major remedial adaptive management actions, to implement the corrective action plan, and to deliver record drawings that depict the extent and nature of the work performed. If the USACE determines that the Bank is not meeting performance standards or the Sponsor is not complying with the terms of the instrument, the USACE may take appropriate actions, including but not limited to: suspending credit sales, utilizing financial assurances, and/or terminating the instrument. 7.3 Long Term Management Provisions The Sponsor will institute a Long Term Management Plan responsible for assessing the condition of the Bank and implementing maintenance provisions to maintain performance of the Bank. The proposed conservation easement will help to ensure that only IRT-allowable activities take place. This easement will be transferred to an IRT-approved non-profit organization once monitoring success criteria have been achieved. The long-term manager will be responsible for inspecting the Site annually to ensure that the restrictions documented in the recorded easement are upheld. The restrictions and long-term management responsibilities will convey with the land, should the property be transferred in the future. Reporting will be documented and kept on file for future reference.

Elevations have been determined from the USGS Digital Elevation Model and should be evaluated on a relative (not an absolute) basis. Relative elevation information between sites of close proximity should be field verified. Sites with an elevation equal to or higher than the target property have been differentiated below from sites with an elevation lower than the target property. Page numbers and map identification numbers refer to the EDR Radius Map report where detailed data on individual sites can be reviewed. Sites listed in bold italics are in multiple databases. Unmappable (orphan) sites are not considered in the foregoing analysis. ADDITIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL RECORDS Records of Emergency Release Reports IMD: Incident Management Database. A review of the IMD list, as provided by EDR, and dated 07/28/2023 has revealed that there is 1 IMD site within approximately 0.5 miles of the target property.

The list was formerly known as the CERCLIS-NFRAP, renamed to SEMS ARCHIVE by the EPA in 2015. EPA may perform a minimal level of assessment work at a site while it is archived if site conditions change and/or new information becomes available. Archived sites have been removed and archived from the inventory of SEMS sites. Archived status indicates that, to the best of EPA's knowledge, assessment at a site has been completed and that EPA has determined no further steps will be taken to list the site on the National Priorities List (NPL), unless information indicates this decision was not appropriate or other considerations require a recommendation for listing at a later time. The decision does not necessarily mean that there is no hazard associated with a given site; it only means that. based upon available information, the location is not judged to be potential NPL site.

Manufactured gas sites were used in the United States from the 1800's to 1950's to produce a gas that could be distributed and used as fuel. These plants used whale oil, rosin, coal, or a mixture of coal, oil, and water that also produced a significant amount of waste. Many of the byproducts of the gas production, such as coal tar (oily waste containing volatile and non-volatile chemicals), sludges, oils and other compounds are potentially hazardous to human health and the environment. The byproduct from this process was frequently disposed of directly at the plant site and can remain or spread slowly, serving as a continuous source of soil and groundwater contamination.

Assessment of the impact of contaminant migration generally has two principle investigative components: 1. Groundwater flow direction, and 2. Groundwater flow velocity. Groundwater flow direction may be impacted by surface topography, hydrology, hydrogeology, characteristics of the soil, and nearby wells. Groundwater flow velocity is generally impacted by the nature of the geologic strata. TC7496156.2s Page A-1 GEOCHECK®- PHYSICAL SETTING SOURCE SUMMARY GROUNDWATER FLOW DIRECTION INFORMATION Groundwater flow direction for a particular site is best determined by a qualified environmental professional using site -specific well data. If such data is not reasonably ascertainable, it may be necessary to rely on other sources of information, such as surface topographic information, hydrologic information, hydrogeologic data collected on nearby properties, and regional groundwater flow information (from deep aquifers). TOPOGRAPHIC INFORMATION Surface topography may be indicative of the direction of surficial groundwater flow.
