As you are aware the site was planted in early 2022 prior to recording of the conservation easement. The conservation easement was recorded August 26, 2023 and the land application permit no. WQ0001730 was modified on December 14, 2023 to exclude the conservation easement areas as required in section 3.4 of the related BPDP and we are therefore now able to submit the AsBuilt Report that follows as the third attachment to this cover letter. After planting, installation of monitoring plots, and marking of the anticipated conservation easement corners, RS submitted an AsBuilt Memo to DWR in June 2022, after which DWR performed an AsBuilt walkthrough and provided notes via email to Restoration Systems. In response to those notes RS implemented adaptive management activities between June of 2022 and June of 2023 to address areas of concern. Those actions are summarized in the AMP memo attached to this cover letter. In addition to the details provided in the AMP many of the tpost conservation easement corners have been further identified with tall PVC pipe to make corner identification easier in the field. RS has open communication with City of Raleigh to actively manage encroachments as the easement area is established and will document those in the submittal of the MY1 and MY2 reports. The Asbuilt report contains tree counts performed after planting in February/March of 2022. RS plans to submit monitoring reports for MY1 2022 and MY3 2023 immediately after approval of this AsBuilt report. Prior to recording the conservation easement, City of Raleigh determined to exclude areas included in the BPDP proposed easement area as they were likely to conflict with future land use at the Neuse River Resource Recovery Facility. Those changes are highlighted on the two maps immediately following this cover letter. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 512.230.0424.

During the as-built site visit on July 19, 2022, multiple items requiring corrective action were identified, including dense/tall herbaceous vegetation, stem densities within some of the vegetation plots were low, no conservation easement placards on easement boundaries, and areas of encroachment in the easement from the tenant farmer. On November 9, 2022, new T-posts were added to Katie Merritt’s highlighted areas. A map is attached highlighting action items, and photos of the work described are provided below. City of Raleigh Farm management was notified of the encroachments and t post were added to identify the areas, which are shown on the attached figure. Restoration Systems (RS) observed dieback of planted hardwood species across certain areas of the Site during the monitoring season of Yr. 1, 2022. The as-built data indicated six hundred and forty-two (642) stems/acre. However, the Yr. 1 vegetation survey indicated an average of three hundred and ninety-nine (399)stems per acre across the Site, which exceeds requirements by 10%. There was a two hundred and forty-three (243) stems/acre reduction between Yr. 0 and Yr.1. Tree mortality occurred throughout the Site. Multiple variables, including drought and dense herbaceous vegetation, are the likely lead causes for the high mortality in planted stems. On January 5, 2023, RS implemented a targeted replant of six thousand eight hundred (6,800) bare roots across roughly twenty-two (+/-22) acres of the easement (Figure 1). Planting zones and densities were based on Yr. 1 monitoring data. The species were picked from the original planting list with minor modifications based on the species’ success. Planted species were hand mixed into bundles by a professional to ensure proper diversity of planted material throughout the replanted areas. Two RS Project Managers were onsite to guarantee that the overall quality of the planting would exceed success criteria requirements. Bare roots were planted and flagged within the fixed vegetation monitoring plots, which will be recorded in the Yr. 2, 2023, Monitoring Report.

As agreed upon in the Raleigh Farm Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Umbrella Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI) and Raleigh Farm Bank Parcel Development Packaged (BPDP), made and entered into on September 24, 2021 by Restoration Systems, LLC, acting as Bank Sponsor (Sponsor), and the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ), Division of Water Resources (DWR). This document details the riparian area restoration activities, monitoring efforts, and the final mitigation potential of the Parcel. Measuring 77.07 acres, the Parcel is designed to provide mitigation credits for unavoidable impacts due to development within the Neuse River Basin. NCDWR representatives conducted an onsite determination for parcel applicability and suitability of Site Features on June 2-3, 2020. A Site Viability letter for Buffer & Nutrient Offset was provided by the Division on August 17, 2020 and September 24, 2020 (Appendix C). Restoration construction activities involved the removal of existing farm infrastructure, including dilapidated buildings/equipment and existing compacted earthen roads (farm paths). RS began preparation for restoration of the riparian buffer and planted the Parcel in February of 2022. Riparian buffer restoration activities included ripping/bedding of the parcel with a narrow set plow, bare- root planting, and broadcast application of a permanent seed mix. Between February 21 and February 24, 2022, Axiom Environmental installed thirty-seven (37) Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) monitoring plots and collected as-built data (Appendix B). The long-term steward, North Carolina Wildlife Habitat Foundation (NCWHF) was granted a Conservation Easement by the City of Raleigh, North Carolina on July 12, 2023. The conservation easement was recorded at the Wake County Register of Deeds on July 26th, 2023; Book No. 019393, Page 00672 - 00696 (Appendix D). 2.0 Parcel Location The Parcel is located approximately three miles northwest of Clayton, five miles east of Garner, and seven miles southeast of Raleigh in Wake County, NC. The Parcel is within the Neuse River Basin 14-digit USGS Cataloging Unit 03020201110030 of the Middle Atlantic Coastal Plain (North Carolina Division of Water Quality [NCDWQ] Sub-basin Number 03-03-05) (Figure 1, Appendix A). Parcel Location: (35.698851°, -78.494698°) Directions to Parcel from Downtown Raleigh: - Head south on N. Blount St. - Turn left onto Martin Luther King Jr Blvd. (1.1mi) - Turn right on Rock Quarry Rd. (0.2mi) - Keep right to stay on Rock Quarry Rd. (7.4mi) - Turn left onto Old Baucom Rd. (1.8mi) - Latitude, Longitude: 35.698851°, -78.494698° Raleigh Farm Phase A Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel Page 2 As-built & Baseline Monitoring Report – August 2023 2.1 Parcel Background The Parcel encompasses 77.07 acres of land over two tracts of historical agricultural fields. Prior to Parcel development, land use is described as a mixture of managed fields for biosolid applications from the City's NRRRF, row crop agriculture, and unmanaged hardwood forests. Site Features are devoid of woody vegetation outside of forested areas due to historic and agricultural practices. Managed features are maintained (mowed/brush hogged) to keep woody vegetation from establishing. The Parcel is comprised of two separate tracts situated just south of the Neuse River. Currently, a 200- foot Duke Power 500 KV Overhead Transmission Line is located outside of the Site’s easements. Parcel tracts are subject to a future Duke Energy natural gas line, PNG Line 142. Construction and maintenance of the PNG Line 142 will not affect the project or its protected resources. Additionally, Dominion Energy’s T-030 Gas Pipeline Extension Project will maintain a 50-foot utility easement over Project Parcels associated with Phase A. The new easement abuts and runs parallel to Duke Power’s 200-foot overhead transmission line easement. Site design avoided all temporary and permanent easements associated with the T-030 Gas Pipeline, and the easements are located outside the T-030 Gas Pipeline easement (permanent and temporary). 2.2 Parcel Objectives The primary goals associated with the restoration of riparian areas within the Bank Parcel focused on improving water quality, enhancing flood attenuation, and restoring wildlife habitat. These goals were achieved through the restoration and preservation of forested riparian areas adjacent to stream channels, in-line ponds, and ephemeral channels. Goals were accomplished by the following. 1. Removing nonpoint sources of pollution associated with agricultural production, including: a. Ceasing the broadcast application of class B biosolids, fertilizer, pesticides, and other agricultural materials into and adjacent to Parcel Features. b. Providing a restored buffer to filter runoff from adjacent lands. 2. Reducing sedimentation within onsite and downstream receiving waters by reducing bank erosion, vegetation maintenance, and agricultural land disturbances by ceasing agricultural and current land use activities. 3. Promoting floodwater attenuation by increasing frictional resistance of floodwaters crossing Parcel floodplains. 4. Improving aquatic habitat by enhancing stream bed shading and natural detritus input. 5. Providing a terrestrial wildlife corridor and refuge in an area extensively developed for agricultural production. 6. Restoring and re-establishing natural community structure, habitat diversity, and functional continuity. 7. Protecting the Parcel’s riparian buffer functions and values in perpetuity. Raleigh Farm Phase A Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel Page 3 As-built & Baseline Monitoring Report – August 2023 3.0 Restoration Activities To achieve the objectives above, a restoration plan including the following components was completed in February of 2022. Primary components of the Restoration Plan included the following. 1. Removal of dilapidated/ abandoned agricultural infrastructure within forested areas where feasible, 2. Removal of existing compacted earth roads associated with agricultural use, 3. Parcel-wide soil preparation & herbaceous vegetation treatment, 4. Riparian area restoration (replanting) extending from the top of bank (TOB) out 200’ where applicable and, 5. Parcel protection in perpetuity through a conservation easement. Tables A & B detail the restoration and protection activities. An outline of restoration activities and their completion dates is provided in the Table 2 (Appendix A). Table A – Restoration Plan Activities Restoration Plan Activity Phase Specific Actions Herbaceous Treatment The City, which actively self -manages the farm operations, treated Bermuda and fescue grasses within the Parcel ahead of planting efforts. Treatment consisted of a broadcast application using Roundup Custom (Glyphosate) at a rate of 3% and a surfactant of AgriDex at a rate of 1%, per acre, mixed with water. Removal of Existing Infrastructure - Removal of existing farm paths within the proposed easements by deep ripping to break soil compaction associated with equipment and vehicle use. NRRRF will establish new roads dependent on future use and need outside of the Site’s proposed easements. - Removal of rock debris associated with a historic farm path across Feature 2B, and stabilization of the channel with matting, temporary/permanent seeding*, and live -stake planting. - Removal of large debris from the easement as is feasible and without damaging the existing riparian buffer (Main Tributary 2). Riparian Restoration Within the Site' s proposed conservation easements: - Treatment of Bermuda and fescue grass species within active pasture areas (see Herbaceous Treatment note above). - Site-wide discing of agricultural and pasture areas ahead of planting — discing occurred parallel to the Site Features, promoting floodwater attenuation by increasing frictional resistance of floodwaters crossing Parcel floodplains. - Establishment of a native herbaceous community via site -specific seed mix (see Planting List – Table D) - Establishment of a native hardwood forest via the planting of bare -root saplings from the top of bank out a maximum of 200' along Parcel Features —Planting List – Table C Raleigh Farm Phase A Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel Page 4 As-built & Baseline Monitoring Report – August 2023 Table B – Summary Protection Activities Parcel protection (77.07 acres) 1.) The long-term steward, North Carolina Wildlife Habitat Foundation (NCWHF) was granted a Conservation Easement by the City of Raleigh, North Carolina on July 12, 2023. The conservation easement was recorded at the Wake County Register of Deeds on July 26th, 2023; Book No. 019393, Page 00672 - 00696 (Appendix D). 2.) RS marked the easement at every corner with an iron, CE cap, and corner t- post. Additionally, easement posts were placed every 200-feet along the Parcel boundaries and taller PVC pipes were placed on top of many of the tpost to improve visibility. 3.1 Construction Activities Three primary construction activities occurred onsite including 1) removal of existing, earthen farm paths within the proposed easements by deep ripping with agricultural equipment to break up soil compaction associated with historic farm equipment and vehicle use; 2) removal of rock debris associated with a historic farm path that crosses Feature 2B, and stabilization of the channel with matting, temporary/ permanent seeding, and live-stake planting; and 3) Removal of reinforced concrete pipes & other debris located within the proposed easement (as feasible) without damaging existing forest/vegetation (Appendix A – As-built Photos). 3.2 Riparian Area Restoration Activities Restoration of the riparian area allows for recolonization and expansion of characteristic species across the landscape. The riparian areas were restored according to the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295. The planting plan for the riparian restoration area included planting 31,600 native bare-root hardwood saplings across 46.51 acres at a Parcel density of +/- 600 stems per acre and live stakes for stream bank stabilization where necessary. Community associations utilized in the proposed planting plan include Schafale and Weakley’s (2012) Mesic Mixed Hardwood Forest (Piedmont Subtype) and Piedmont Bottomland Hardwoods. The planted species composition is intentionally diverse and while based on these communities, also accounted for local observations and nursery availability. All species were selected based on their ability for sediment stabilization, rapid growth rate, suitability to specific soil types, and Parcel conditions. Tree species were mixed thoroughly before planting to provide a diverse and random plant across the Site. Planting density is set to ensure sufficient diversity and density of planted stems outlined in Rule 15A NCAC 02B.0295 of 260 trees per acre at the end of five years. No one tree species will be greater than 50% of the established stems. The bare root planting list is provided in Table C followed by the permanent seed mix in Table D. As-built baseline vegetation data is provided in Appendix B. Baseline data was collected in February 2022 by Axiom Environmental and derived an average planted stem density of 624 stems per acre.

The conservation easement was recorded at the Wake County Register of Deeds on July 26th, 2023; Book No. 019393, Page 00672 - 00696 (Appendix D). Easement corners were marked with tposts, signs, and in some cased tall PVC pipes. Raleigh Farm Phase A Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel Page 6 As-built & Baseline Monitoring Report – August 2023 4.0 Mitigation Potential DWR has determined the nitrogen abatement of restored riparian areas to be 2,273.02 lbs. per acre as agreed to in the Raleigh Farm MBI. Riparian buffer credits were measured to the nearest whole square foot. Mitigation potential for each Project Phase, is detailed below. The Parcel restored 45.027 acres and preserved 22.856 acres of riparian area within a 77.07-acre Parcel. The Parcel permanently protects an additional 9.187 acres consisting of areas beyond 200-ft from Site Features, the footprint of Site Features, and non-credited access/maintenance areas within the conservation easement that do not generate credit. Table 1 (Appendix A) outlines the components and mitigation credits to be generated within the Parcel. The generated Neuse River Riparian Buffer Credits (RBC) and Nutrient Offset Credit (NOC, nitrogen) on restored riparian areas were measured from the top of bank out perpendicularly 200-feet on Parcel Features (streams, ephemeral channels, and an in-line pond). Riparian buffer restoration credits can be converted and transferred to NOC upon approval from DWR. However, conversions of NOC from widths 101'- 200' (measured from top of bank) to RBC will not occur. The Sponsor must request and receive written approval of the conversion and transfer of any mitigation credits from DWR prior to adding or removing credits from the ledgers. The Sponsor will maintain three individual ledgers, one to account for riparian buffer restoration credits, one to account for riparian buffer preservation credits, and one to account for NOC. All credit assets shall be accurately depicted on these credit ledgers (Table 1, Appendix A) 5.0 Monitoring Protocol & Success Criteria 5.1 Monitoring Protocol Restoration monitoring procedures for vegetation at each Phase will monitor plant survival and species diversity. Quantitative sampling will include thirty-seven (37) permanent 10 x 10-meter vegetation plots as outlined in the CVS Level 1-2 Protocol for Recording Vegetation, Version 4.2 (Lee et al. 2008) and will occur no earlier than Fall of each year (Figures 2A-B, Appendix A). Vegetation plot placement will adequately represent riparian buffer credit and nutrient offset credit areas. A reference photo will be taken from the origin point of each plot. All planted stems in the plots will be marked with flagging tape and recorded. Data collected will include species, height, planting type (planted stem and/or volunteer). Total and planted stem density by plot and species will be reported during monitoring years 0-5 (Table 5, Appendix B). Individual and average stem height data will be reported during monitoring years 3-5. Monitoring of the restoration efforts will be performed for five years or until success criteria are fulfilled. Restoration Systems shall submit to NCDWR annual monitoring reports no later than December 31st of each year. Each report will document the success of the vegetation and any maintenance, supplemental planting, or encroachment within the easement areas. Success criteria within the buffer will be based on the survival of planted species at a density of 260 stems per acre after five years of monitoring. The first annual monitoring activities were completed at the end of the first growing season in 2022, at least six months after planting was completed. Raleigh Farm Phase A Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel Page 7 As-built & Baseline Monitoring Report – August 2023 5.2 Parcel Maintenance A remedial action plan will be developed and implemented with the approval of DWR in the event the Parcel or a specific component of the Parcel fails to achieve success criteria as outlined above. Other vegetation maintenance and repair activities may include pruning, mulching, and fertilizing. If exotic invasive plant species require treatment, such species will be controlled by mechanical (physical removal with the use of a chainsaw) and/ or chemical methods (aquatic approved herbicide) in accordance with North Carolina Department of Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations. If mowing is deemed necessary by the Sponsor during the monitoring period, the Sponsor must receive approval from DWR prior to conducting any mowing activities within Neuse Buffer Zones 1 and 2 to ensure that no buffer violations have occurred. 5.3 Long Term Management Plan The conservation easement will preserve all areas and prohibit all use of the property inconsistent with its use as a nutrient offset and riparian buffer mitigation property, including any activity that would materially alter the biological integrity of the Site/ Parcel. The conservation easement and its interests have been assigned to NCWHF in perpetuity, they are a qualified holder under NC General Statute ("GS") 121-34 et seq. and 170(h) of the Internal Revenue Code. The holder shall be a land trust or stewardship program that is accredited by the Land Trust Accreditation Commission and/ or has been approved by DWR. A land trust must be certified under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. 6.0 Financial Assurance In accordance with the UMBI RS waived the obligation to secure a construction bond and will be able to secure monitoring bonds upon approval of this As Built Report. Monitoring bonds shall be renewed with confirmation of renewal provided to DWR with each annual monitoring report. DWR reserves the right to alter the credit release schedule if monitoring reports are submitted without proof of bond renewals. 7.0 References Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule - 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (Published November 17, 2014) Lee, M.T., R.K.

The enclosed map(s) depict the feature(s) evaluated and this information is also summarized in the table below. Streams were evaluated for being ephemeral, at least intermittent, and subjectivity to the Neuse Riparian Area Protection Rules. Streams that are considered "Subject" have been located on the most recently published NRCS Soil Survey of Wake County and/or the most recent copy of the USGS Topographic (at 1:24,000 scale) map(s), have been located on the ground at the site, and possess characteristics that qualify them to be at least intermittent streams. Features that are considered "Not Subject" have been determined to not be at least intermittent, not present on the property, or not depicted on the required maps. This determination only addresses the applicability to the buffer rules and does not approve any activity within buffers or within waters of the state. There may be other streams or features located on the property that appear or do not appear on the maps referenced above. Any of the features on the site may be considered jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of Engineers and subject to the Clean Water Act.

The site visit was to determine the potential for riparian buffer mitigation and nutrient offset within a proposed Easement Boundary, which is more accurately show n in the attached map labeled CORPUD-Site Features Phase A" prepared by RS and edited by DWR. On June 2, 2020 and June 3, 2020, Ms. Merritt performed site assessments of the subject site and identified the following site constraints: UTILITIES: Gas lines are being proposed on parts of the site where streams are located. Existing powerline easements are also present. Specific locations and associated easements of gas lines were unknown at the time of the DWR site visit, but the attached CORP U figure details where the proposed and temporary easements 1,1. ill be located. PERMITS: State. Federal and/or Local permits may be associated with this property. Wetland delineation flagging and other stream call determinations were observed on the site. EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE: The City of Raleigh owns the property on the site and has used the land for applying biosolids associated with the Neuse River Resource Recovery Facility (NRRRF). Existing underground and above ground infrastructure is present for purposes of irrigating the property. The City of Raleigh Public Utilities Department (CORPUD) manages the property. Existing dirt paths, culverted crossings, deeded access roads and greenways are present throughout and are adjacent to ditches and stream onsite where mitigation would be proposed. Some Groundwater Monitoring Wells were located onsite, but their locations are not depicted on any maps attached to this correspondence. All existing infrastructure within the proposed conservation easement shall be delineated and included as parr of the site's restoration plan along with specific details on management and maintenance and what will be included or excluded. o Application of bio-solids will not be permitted within a conservation easement. aE _ oea=,+nunif. enniunt,i w9m7 North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality I Division of Water Resources 5i2 North Salisbury Street 11611 Mail Service Center I Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1611 919.707.9000 Docu5ign Envelope ID: 8fDCB99AE-A3A7-43EC-863C-027560F2800 Raleigh Farm Phase A Site Restoration Systems, LLC September 24, 2020 o Impervious surface will not be permitted within a conservation easement unless it is an access easement or located outside of creditable areas for mitigation or nutrient offsets. o Disruption in connectivity between top of bank and adjacent riparian areas will not be permitted within a conservation easement.

Determinations provided in the table above were made using a proposed easement boundary shoeing proposed mitigation areas shown in Figure 1, Figure 2 and the CDRPUD map. Maps representing the proposal for the Site are attached to this letter and are initialed by Ms. Merritt on September 24, 2020. Substantial changes to the proposed easement boundary as well as site constraints identified on page 1 of this letter could affect the Sites potential to generate buffer and nutrient offset credits. This letter does not constitute an approval of this Site to generate buffer and nutrient offset credits. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295, a mitigation proposal and a mitigation plan shall be submitted to DWR for written approval prior to conducting any mitigation activities in riparian areas and/or surface waters for buffer mitigation credit. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0703, a proposal regarding a proposed nutrient load -reducing measure for nutrient offset credit shall be submitted to DWR for approval prior to any mitigation activities in riparian areas and/or surface waters. All vegetative plantings, performance criteria and other mitigation requirements for riparian restoration, enhancement and preservation must follow the requirements in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 to be eligible for buffer and/or nutrient offset mitigation credits. For any areas depicted as not being viable for nutrient offset credit above, one could propose a different measure, along with supporting calculations and sufficient detail to support estimates of load reduction, for review by the DWR to determine viability for nutrient offset in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0703.
