Carraway Bluff 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 MY1 Monitoring Report for Carraway Bluff Phase II
Mitigation Project (Project) under the approved RES 2022 Phase II Umbrella Mitigation Banking
Instrument (UMBI) that was made between the Bank Sponsor, EBX, and the NC Division of Water
Resources (DWR). This Project is designed to provide riparian restoration credits and/or nutrient
offsets 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 Buffer and Nutrient Offset Mitigation Plan 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 is codeveloped with the Carraway Bluff Buffer Mitigation Project
(DWR #2014-0820 V5) that is contracted with the NC Division of Mitigation Services (DMS). All
planting and construction activities were completed within the adjacent DMS project and have
been explained in detail within the DMS Carraway Bluff (2014-0820 V5) As-Built Report submitted
in July 2023. DMS Carraway Bluff (2014-0820 V5) easement was closed and secured on March
15th, 2023. RES continues to monitor the DMS and Bank easement concurrently.

The Carraway Bluff Phase II Project is within the Neuse River Basin within the 8-digit HUC
03020201, 14-digit HUC 03020201170060 and DWR Sub-basin Number 03-04-12. The Project is
in Wayne County, approximately five miles south of downtown Goldsboro, off Highway 117. To
access the Project from Goldsboro, head South on US 70 Business and merge onto US-177 South
for approximately 4.5 miles. Then turn left onto Old Mt Olive Highway and drive approximately
1.2 miles. Then turn left onto Genoa Road, for about a half a mile, then turn left onto Robert
Avenue (Figure 1). The coordinates are 35.3280007, -78.010718.

The Carraway Bluff Phase II project consists of a conservation easement that is approximately
34.01 acres and is being collocated with the Carraway Bluff Buffer Mitigation Project (DMS Project
#: 100186, DWR #: 2014-0820 V5). Carraway Bluff Phase II extends the riparian area of the DMS
Project along the Neuse River, Carraway Creek, BH1, BH2, BH4 and adds an additional unnamed
stream (BH3). It also includes additional nutrient area of D4 and additional ditch features (D3, D5,
and D6) that drain to Carraway Creek. Carraway Creek is a USGS-named stream that drains to the
Neuse River onsite. Much of the Project area had been used extensively for agricultural purposes
for at least 70 years. Water quality stressors that had affected the Project included heavily
manipulated/relocated and maintained stream channels, nutrient loadings from active crop
production, and lack of forested riparian buffers.

Mitigation Project January 2024
1.2 Monitoring Protocol and Project Success Criteria
Annual vegetation monitoring and visual assessments are conducted on an annual basis.
Vegetation is surveyed at established vegetation plots across the site that are representative of
the riparian restoration areas (Figures 2 & 3). Data is 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 and preservation 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 are 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 are 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 in areas where invasive species were treated,
• 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
Vegetation Annual vegetation monitoring
Vegetation shall be maintained to ensure the health and vigor of the targeted plant community. Routine vegetation maintenance and repair activities may include supplemental planting, pruning, mulching, and fertilizing. Exotic invasive plant species shall be treated by mechanical and/or chemical methods. Any
vegetation requiring herbicide application is performed in accordance with NC
Department of Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations. Vegetation
maintenance activities are documented and reported in annual monitoring reports. Vegetation maintenance will continue through the monitoring period.
Invasive and Nuisance Vegetation Visual Assessment Invasive and noxious species are monitored and treated so that none become dominant or alter the desired community structure of the Project. Locations of invasive and nuisance vegetation are mapped and reported.
Project Boundary Visual Assessment Project boundaries shall be identified in the field to ensure a clear distinction between the mitigation project and adjacent properties. Boundaries are marked with signs identifying the property as a mitigation project and will include the
name of the long-term steward and a contact number. Boundaries may be
identified by fence, marker, bollard, post, tree-blazing, or other means as allowed

Component/ Feature Monitoring Maintenance through project close-out
by Project conditions and/or conservation easement. Boundary markers disturbed, damaged, or destroyed are 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 264,950.939 riparian mitigation credits and 943,416 ft2 (49,288.708
lbs. of Nitrogen) nutrient offset credits within a 34.01-acre conservation easement as depicted in
Figure 3. These are derived from riparian restoration, and preservation. This project has 17,959 ft2
of no credit area which is derived of 4,350 ft2 of diffuse flow area off of BH4, 1,067 ft2 of area which
is less than 20 feet wide off of Carraway Creek, and 12,542 ft2 of area off of Carraway Creek, BH1,
BH3, and D4, which exceeds 200 feet of buffer width. The credits generated will service the Neuse
01 watershed, excluding the Falls Lake Watershed. Also, some of these proposed buffer mitigation
credits, where viable, can be converted to nutrient offset credit in accordance with the Nutrient
Offset Credit Trading Rule, 15A NCAC 02B .0703. In accordance with the UMBI, any credit
conversions must be calculated using the guidance provided in the Clarified Procedures for
Calculating Buffer Mitigation Credits and Nutrient Offset Credits letter issued by the DWR. The
total potential buffer mitigation and nutrient offset credits that the Carraway Bluff Phase II
Mitigation Project will generate were calculated using the DWR “Project Credit Table Template
(Updated May 2023)” and are presented in Appendix A.
1.4 Riparian Mitigation Approach
The Project will provide riparian buffer mitigation and nutrient offset through riparian restoration
and preservation activities as defined and described in the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rules
15A NCAC 02B .0295 (n), 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(3) (o)(4) and (o)(5). Nutrient offset credits
generated from riparian restoration activities will comply with the Nutrient Offset Credit Trading
Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0703 and the UMBI. Restoration and nutrient offset activities included the
planting of bare root trees. These restoration activities were carried out from tops of the stream
banks or began outside the DMS project Conservation Easement (~100 feet from Top of Bank of
the stream channels) and extend outward to a maximum of 200 feet perpendicular to the stream
channel. Restoration occurred where cropland was currently present and in the non-forested area.
All reaches within the Project include riparian restoration and/or nutrient offset (Figure 3).

Restoration and Preservation 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
Carraway Bluff Phase II 4 Year 1 Monitoring Report
Mitigation Project January 2024
easement markers and signs. Preservation areas are also being treated to control invasive species.
No more than 25 percent of the total area of buffer mitigation was used for preservation credit
pursuant to 15A NCAC 0295 (o)(5). Furthermore, Buffer preservation only generated buffer
mitigation credit and is not transferrable into nutrient offset credits.
1.5 Construction and As-Built Conditions
The initial planting of bare root trees occurred on March 15th, 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 800 trees per acre. 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 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 includes treating invasive
species and 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 changes to the planting plan of bare root species and the
planting area. However, densities of species changed slightly due to availability of some oak
species. A list of the planted species can be found in Appendix B.
The site was constructed in accordance with the Approved Bank Parcel Development Package.
Invasives were treated on March 1st, 2023, construction was completed on March 3rd, 2023,
seeding was completed on March 3rd, 2023, planting/livestaking was completed on March 15th,
2023, and sign installation along the entire easement was finished on April 14th, 2023. Other
activities involved with the Project include minor bank stabilization efforts, where culverts were
removed. D6 was livestaked and seeded with wetland species to encourage the development of
a linear wetland. As part of the Restoration activities, five culverts were removed from the Project
Area and four culverts were installed outside the easement to allow for access throughout. It was
determined that the most stable approach for the crossing outside the easement at BH2 was a
culvert instead of the timber mat bridge. Seeding and livestaking occurred in the locations where
the existing culverts are removed. Any debris or deer stands on site were removed, with the
exception of one stand that had a nesting pair of barn owls which NC wildlife requested that if
possible the stand remain for future nesting habitat.

Mitigation Project January 2024
Additionally, all planting and construction activities were completed within the adjacent DMS
project and have been explained in detail within the DMS Carraway Bluff (2014-0820 V5) As-Built
Report submitted in July 2023. DWR confirmed that these activities were completed during a site
visit on May 16, 2023, and provided documentation of its completion in the Task 2 Credit Release.
DMS Carraway Bluff (2014-0820 V5) easement was closed and secured on March 15th, 2023. There
were no easement changes of the Carraway Bluff Phase II Bank Easement between the submittal
of the BPDP Approval and the construction of the site. 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.

1.6 Year 1 Monitoring Performance
The Carraway Bluff Phase II Monitoring Year 1 (MY1) activities were completed on December 12
and 13, 2023. Vegetation data tables are in Appendix B and associated photos are in Appendix
C. MY1 data indicates that all plots are exceeding success criteria of 260 planted stems per acre.
Planted stem densities ranged from 526 to 931 planted stems per acre with a mean of 757 planted
stems per acre across all plots. A total of 10 species were documented within the plots. Volunteer
species were not noted at MY1 monitoring but are expected to establish in upcoming years. The
average tree height observed was 2.6 feet.
Herbaceous vegetation will be monitored as it becomes established throughout the Project. There
was no encroachment observed or similar activities that would negatively affect the functioning
of the buffer. Additionally, initial invasive species treatment was administered in March 2023. To
maintain diffuse flow throughout the conservation easement three engineered sediment packs
(ESP) were installed on the erosional features on BH2, BH3, and Carraway Creek. Coir mat logs and
additional planting were implemented around the erosional features to promote diffuse flow. The
engineered sediment packs were completed on June 15th and 23rd, 2023. ESP’s are functioning
well and will continue to be monitored throughout the years. Associated photos of ESP’s are in
Appendix C. There is one area that is susceptible to concentrated flow observed near BH3, which
is due to this area having an ESP and other hay bales installed previously to promote diffuse flow
and therefore is being filled in with sediment. Additional coir mat logs, haybales, and livestakes
will be installed in this area to diffuse flow further in Early 2024. This area of susceptible to
concentrated flow location can be found on Figure 3 and associated photos are in Appendix C.

Mitigation Project January 2024
2 Methods Annual vegetation monitoring and visual assessments will be conducted. Riparian buffer
vegetation monitoring is based on the “Carolina Vegetation Survey-Ecosystem Enhancement
Program Protocol for Recording Vegetation: Level 1-2 Plot Sampling Only Version 4.2” (Lee et al.,
2006). 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 riparian buffer mitigation area (32.59 acres) and are representative of the riparian
restoration conditions. The following data is recorded for all trees in the plots: species, height,
planting date (or volunteer), and grid location. All stems in plots are flagged with flagging tape.
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 27 fixed vegetation monitoring plots (Figure 3).
These plots are being monitored in conjunction with plots 1-14 of the Carraway Bluff DMS project
site.
