Sassafras Phase II 1 Year 1 Monitoring Report
Mitigation Project January 2024
1 Project Summary

1.1 Project Location and Description
Environmental Banc & Exchange, LLC (“EBX”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Resource
Environmental Solutions (“RES”), is pleased to provide this As-built Baseline Monitoring Report for
the Sassafras Phase II Mitigation Project (“Project”) under the proposed RES 2022 Phase II
Umbrella Mitigation Banking Instrument that is being made between the Bank Sponsor, EBX, and
the NC Division of Water Resources (“DWR”). This project provides nutrient offset credits for
unavoidable impacts due to development within the Neuse River Basin, United States Geological
Survey (USGS) 8-digit Cataloguing Unit 03020201 (Neuse 01), excluding Falls Lake Watershed
(Figure 1). This Project is in accordance with the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC
02B .0295 and Nutrient Offset Credit Trading Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0703. The Project was
codeveloped with the Sassafras Buffer Mitigation Project (DWR # 2021-0754v2) that is contracted
with the NC Division of Mitigation Services (“DMS”) and extends riparian areas associated with the
DMS project as well as incorporates an additional ditch feature on the property. The DMS Project
includes a conservation easement that includes top of banks of all the features except for the ditch
(Ditch 1), which top of bank is included within the proposed conservation easement for this
Project. This Project is contingent upon the full implementation of the Sassafras DMS project
according to its approved Plan.

The Sassafras Phase II Project is within the Neuse River Basin within the 8-digit HUC 03020201,
14-digit HUC 03020201200030 and DWR Sub-basin Number 03-04-12. The Project is located in
Wayne County approximately five miles west of Goldsboro, North Carolina, and can be accessed
from Rita Lane off NC Highway 581(Figure 1). The coordinates are 35.396 N and -78.070 W.

The Sassafras Phase II project consists of a conservation easement that totals 12.875 acres and is
collocated with the DMS Sassafras Buffer Mitigation Project. Sassafras Phase II restores the 101–
200-foot riparian area of three unnamed tributaries that eventually drain into Charles Branch and
a ditch feature that drains into one of the onsite stream features (RS3). Charles Branch is a USGS-
named stream that eventually drains to the Neuse River. Much of the Project area has been used
extensively for agricultural purposes for at least 70 years. Prior to riparian restoration activities,
the Project reaches, and riparian areas were used as crop production. Water quality stressors that
have affected the Project included heavily manipulated/relocated and maintained stream
channels, nutrient loadings from active crop production, and lack of forested riparian buffers. The
riparian area conditions prior to restoration demonstrated significant degradation with the loss of
stabilizing vegetation because of continued crop production.

Sassafras Phase II 2 Year 1 Monitoring Report
Mitigation Project January 2024
1.2 Monitoring Protocol and Project Success Criteria Annual vegetation monitoring and visual assessments will be conducted. Vegetation will be
surveyed at established vegetation plots across the site that are representative of the riparian
restoration areas (Figures 2 and 3). Data will be presented each year in annual monitoring
reports, including a Current Conditions Plan View map (Figure 3).
Photos are taken at all vegetation plot origins during each monitoring year. Visual inspections and
photos are taken to ensure that restoration areas are being maintained and compliant. These
monitoring activities will continue to be done for each monitoring year.
The measures of vegetative success for the Project will be the survival of at least four native
hardwood tree species, where no one species is greater than 50 percent of the stems, established
at a density of at least 260 planted trees per acre at the end of Year 5. Native volunteer species
may be included to meet the performance standards as determined by NC Division of Water
Resources. Invasive and noxious species will be monitored and treated so that none become
dominant or alter the desired community structure of the site.
A visual assessment of the conservation easement will also be performed each year to confirm:
• Easement markers are in good condition throughout the site;
• No encroachment has occurred;
• No invasive species present;
• Diffuse flow is being maintained in the conservation easement areas; and
• There has not been any cutting, clearing, filling, grading, or similar activities that
would negatively affect the functioning of the buffer.

Component/ Feature Monitoring Maintenance through project close-out
by Project conditions and/or conservation easement. Boundary markers disturbed, damaged, or destroyed will be repaired and/or replaced on an as-
needed basis. Easement monitoring and staking/ signage maintenance will
continue in perpetuity as a stewardship activity.

1.3 Project Components
This Project generates up to 28,120.835 lbs. of Nitrogen (N) nutrient offset credits within a 12.875-
acre conservation easement as depicted in Figure 3. These are derived from riparian restoration.
The credits generated will service the Neuse 01 watershed, excluding the Falls Lake Watershed.
The Nutrient Offset Credits are neither convertible nor transferrable to riparian buffer credits.
The total potential nutrient offset credits that the Sassafras Phase II Mitigation Project will
generate were calculated using the DWR “Project Credit Table Template (Updated February 2022)”
and are presented in Appendix A.
1.4 Riparian Mitigation Approach For stream channels and the in-line pond, the Project will provide nutrient offset through riparian
restoration activities in accordance with the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B
.0295 (n). These activities will begin outside of the DMS project Conservation Easement (~100 feet
from Top of Bank of the stream channels) and extend to a maximum of 200 feet perpendicular
and landward from the stream channel. The DMS easement includes the riparian buffer and
innermost riparian areas adjacent to streams and the ephemeral channel but does not include
Ditch 1 or riparian areas adjacent to Ditch 1. The Project also provides riparian nutrient offset in
accordance with the Nutrient Offset Credit Trading Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0703. These activities will
begin from the tops of the ditch banks and extend outward to a maximum of 200 feet
perpendicularly landward to the ditch channel. Nutrient offset activities included the planting of
bare root trees. Nutrient offset occurred where cropland was currently adjacent to Sassafras Phase
II Project stream, ephemeral, and ditch reaches (Figure 3).

Restoration activities also include the permanent protection of the riparian buffer and adjacent
riparian areas from cutting, clearing, filling, grading, and similar activities that would affect the
functioning of the buffer through a conservation easement that have clearly visible easement
markers and signs.

1.6 Construction and As-Built Conditions
The initial planting of bare root trees occurred on February 27, 2023. All riparian restoration areas
are planted with bare root tree seedlings on a nine by six-foot spacing to achieve an initial density
of approximately 850 trees per acre. Ditch 1 was planted from the top of bank and extended out
to a maximum of 200 feet. The remainder of riparian restoration areas were planted from the DMS
project Conservation Easement (~100 feet from Top of Bank of the stream channels) and extend
to a maximum of 200 feet perpendicular and landward from the stream and ephemeral channel.
Planted areas were ripped and seeded with an herbaceous seed mix to provide rapid herbaceous
cover and promote immediate buffer effectiveness as well as habitat for pollinators and other
wildlife. The seed blend contains both temporary and permanent seed and includes taproot
Sassafras Phase II 5 Year 1 Monitoring Report
Mitigation Project January 2024
species. The seed was sown utilizing a broadcast distribution. Planting occurred in all areas
proposed for riparian restoration and meets the performance standards outlined in the Rule 15A
NCAC 02B .0295. This included planting at least four species of native hardwood bare root trees.
Mixed-Mesic Hardwood Forest (Coastal Plain subtype) (Schafale 2012) is the target community
type and was used for all areas within the Project. This tree community composition is highly
diverse and is suitable given the Project’s soil and landscape characteristics and will provide water
quality and ecological benefits. There were no deviations from the initial planting plan. A list of
the planted species can be found in Appendix B.
All activities were completed in March 2023. The site was constructed in accordance with the
Approved Bank Parcel Development Package. Between the submittal of the BPDP Approval and
the construction of the site, the total easement acreage decreased from 13.170 acres to 12.875
acres. This resulted in an overall credit reduction of 28,121.208 to 28,120.835 N (lbs) (Appendix
A). Additionally, all planting and construction activities were completed within the adjacent DMS
Sassafras Project As-built Report submitted in April 2023. DWR confirmed that these activities
were completed during the site visit on April 3rd, 2023. A few areas were supplementally planted
based on observations from the site visit and photo documentation was provided to show that
this planting was completed on May 5, 2023. Both easements were closed on April 29th, 2023. The
conservation easement is marked every 50-100 feet with t-posts and signage (Appendix C). No
livestock are present onsite; therefore, fencing was not installed.

1.7 Year 1 Monitoring Performance
The Sassafras Phase II Year 1 monitoring activities were completed on December 5th, 2023. All
Year 1 monitoring data is presented below and in the appendices. The Project is on track to meet
success criteria.
RES installed 11 permanent vegetation plots on site. Monitoring of the 11 permanent vegetation
plots was completed in December 2023. Vegetation data tables are in Appendix B and associated
photos are in Appendix C. Monitoring Year 1 (MY1) monitoring data indicate that all plots are
exceeding the success criteria of 260 planted stems per acre. Planted stem densities ranged from
647 to 1,214 planted stems per acre with a mean of 817 planted stems per acre across all plots. A
total of 10 species were documented within the plots. Volunteer species were noted in one plot
in MY1 and are expected to become more established in upcoming years. The average tree height
observed was 2.0 feet.
Visual assessment of vegetation outside of the monitoring plots indicates that the herbaceous
vegetation is becoming well established throughout the project. The easement boundary was
visually inspected in December 2023. There was one minor driving encroachment observed
Sassafras Phase II 6 Year 1 Monitoring Report
Mitigation Project January 2024
adjacent to Reach RS3 (Figure 3). This area (<0.1 ac) will be supplementally planted with
mitigation approved hardwood species, and horse tape will be installed between t-posts to
prevent future encroachment. Diffuse flow was maintained throughout the conservation easement
area.

2 Methods Annual vegetation monitoring and visual assessments will be conducted. Monitoring plots were
installed a minimum of 100 meters squared in size and cover at least two percent of the planted
mitigation area. These plots were randomly placed throughout the planted nutrient offset
crediting area and are representative of the nutrient offset conditions. The following data is
recorded for all trees in the plots: species, height, vigor, planting date (or volunteer), and grid
location. All stems in plots are flagged with flagging tape. Vegetation plot monitoring follows the
CVS-EEP Level 2 Protocol for Recording Vegetation, version 4.2 (Lee et al. 2008) and includes
analysis of species composition and density of planted species. Data is processed using the CVS
data entry tool. In the field, the four corners of each plot were permanently marked with PVC at
the origin and metal conduit at the other corners. There are 11 fixed vegetation monitoring plots
(Figure 3). These plots are being monitored in conjunction with plots 1-10 of the Sassafras DMS
project site.
