Calculation N/A Date Planted April 2019 Date of Supplemental Planting 2/2021 & 11/2022 Protection Mechanism Buckwater Property Portfolio Plat also included as an attachment Easement Acreage 51.84 acres Stewards NC Stewardship Program Encroachment & Resolution Utility company mowed approx. 0.04 acres adjacent to powerline right of way in 2023. Provider ’s legal counsel contacted the company to address the issue and receive reimbursement for expenses incurred due to the encroachment. Containerized trees were planted in the mowed area and assurances were made by the utility company that they would stay out of the easement. Wildlands also added additional signage. Accepted for Transfer to Stewardship Will be assessed for suitability for acceptance by Stewardship prior to stream closeout Buckwater Final Credit Release Summary Full Delivery Site DWR #: 20160406 DMS ID (CRM) # 97084 Provider: Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Orange County Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site The Buckwater Mitigation Site includes both riparian buffer and stream assets generating 1,099,775.073 BMUs and 12,621.934 SMUs. The site also has the ability to convert 921,967 ft2 of riparian buffer restoration to nutrient offset with the potential to generate 48,109.470 Nitrogen credits and 3,098.622 Phosphorus credits. To date, DMS has not converted any buffer asset to nutrient offset. The final year of the riparian buffer mitigation monitoring (MY5) was 2023. The final year of monitoring for the stream portion of the project will be 2025, and the site is expected to complete final IRT closeout in 2026. Credit tables, maps, MY5 vegetation plot data, Recorded Plat, and DWR Viability Letter are attached. Recommendation: DMS requests credit release of 1,099,775.073 BMUs.
