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 Bobs Branch
Riparian Buffer Mitigation Project ("Project") under the RES Bobs Branch Mitigation Banking
Instrument in the Randleman Lake Watershed for Riparian Buffer Mitigation Credits that is being
made between the Bank Sponsor, EBX, and the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR). This project
(DWR: 2020-13840) provides riparian buffer mitigation credits for unavoidable impacts due to
development within the Randleman Lake Watershed of the Cape Fear River Basin, United States
Geological Survey (USGS) 8-digit Cataloguing Unit 03030003 (Figure 1). This Project is in
accordance with the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 and the Randleman
Lake Water Supply Watershed Buffer Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0724 and the proposed RES Bobs
Branch Mitigation Banking Instrument.
The Bobs Branch Project is within the Cape Fear River Basin within the 8-digit HUC 03030003, 14-
digit HUC 03030003010060 and DWR Sub -basin Number 03-06-08. The Project is located in
Randolph County approximately two miles northwest of New Market, North Carolina. To access
the Project from the town of New Market, NC, travel north approximately one mile on State Road
1009. Turn left on Marlboro Church Road and continue for 0.5 mile. Then turn right onto Old
Edgar Road and continue for 0.6 mile to the access road of the project on the right. The
coordinates are 35.84275°N and-79.89530W.
The Bobs Branch project consists of a conservation easement that totals 11.36 acres and includes
Bobs Branch, a direct tributary to Randleman Lake, and two unnamed tributaries (BS1 and BS2)
that drain into Bobs Branch. The Project is located within a semi urban area, and currently consists
of open pasture with minimally forested living fence lines. Historic land use of the Project area
consisted of traditional agricultural practices including channel manipulation and livestock access.
Water quality stressors that have affected the Project include livestock access and lack of forested
riparian buffer areas.
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 & 3). Data will be presented each year in annual monitoring reports,
including a Current Conditions Plan View map (Figure 3).
Bobs Branch 1 Baseline Monitoring Report
Riparian Buffer Project April 2024

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. Desirable native volunteer species may
be included to meet the performance standards as determined by DWR. 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 cattle exclusion areas within the conservation easement will also be
performed each year to confirm:
• Fencing is in good condition throughout the site;
• No cattle access within the conservation easement area;
• No encroachment has occurred;
• 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.
A summary of Project monitoring and maintenance activities can be found below:
Component/ Monitoring Maintenance through project close-out
Feature
Vegetation Annual Vegetation shall be maintained to ensure the health and vigor of the targeted
vegetation plant community. Routine vegetation maintenance and repair activities may
monitoring 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 will be performed in accordance with
NC Department of Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations. Vegetation
maintenance activities will be documented and reported in annual monitoring
reports. Vegetation maintenance will continue through the monitoring period.
Invasive and Visual Invasive and noxious species will be monitored and treated so that none become
Nuisance Vegetation Assessment dominant or alter the desired community structure of the Project. Locations of
invasive and nuisance vegetation will be mapped and reported.
Project Boundary Visual Project boundaries shall be identified in the field to ensure a clear distinction
Assessment 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
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 DerDetuity as a stewardship activitv.

1.3 Project Components
This Project generates up to 436,119.622 ft' riparian buffer mitigation credits within an 11.36-acre
conservation easement as depicted in Figure 3. These are derived from riparian restoration and
preservation. The credits generated will service the Randleman Lake watershed.
1.4 Riparian Mitigation Approach
For streams and ephemeral channels, the Project provides buffer mitigation through riparian
restoration activities in accordance with the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rules 15A NCAC 02B
.0295 (n) and 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(7). Riparian restoration activities included the planting of
trees as well as fencing and protection through a conservation easement. These restoration
activities were carried out from tops of the stream banks and extend a minimum of 30 feet from
the stream outward to a maximum of 200 feet perpendicular and landward to the stream channel.
Notably, there are some small sections where the riparian buffer is less than 30 feet due to
landowner parcels. Restoration occurred where non -forested pasture was present. Minor bank
grading was conducted along BS2, as required in the buffer viability letter. Any crossings within
the conservation easement were removed and graded to restore the banks to appropriate
conditions (Figure 3).
Preservation occurred in the limited forested areas within the ephemeral portion of Reach BS2
where existing tree growth was determined adequate, and in accordance with the alternative
mitigation option of Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rules 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(4) and (5) and
the DWR buffer viability assessment.
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
easement markers and signs.
The upper portion of stream feature BS2 is an ephemeral channel. The entire area for buffer
mitigation credit along the upper portion of BS2 is located within the contributing drainage area
to the ephemeral channel and is directly connected to the intermittent reach downstream. The
channel will be contiguously contained within the conservation easement area of the Project.
1.5 Construction and As -Built Conditions
Bare root trees and live stakes were planted on February 26, 2024, covering an area of 10.67 acres.
All riparian restoration areas are planted from top of bank back at least 30 feet from streams with
bare root tree seedlings on a nine by six-foot spacing to achieve an initial density of approximately
Bobs Branch 3 Baseline Monitoring Report
Riparian Buffer Project April 2024

800 trees per acre. The planting area was also 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 buffer restoration and meets the performance standards outlined
in Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295. This includes treating invasive species and planting of at least four
species of native hardwood bare root trees. A Piedmont Alluvial Forest (Schafale 2012) was the
target community type for all areas within the Project. A list of the planted species can be found
in Appendix B.
All construction activities were completed in March 2024. The site was constructed in accordance
with the Approved Buffer Mitigation Plan. There were two locations — a section of BS1 and a
section of BS2 - that required minor bank stabilization efforts to address erosional rills and side
cuts. During final design and construction walk throughs, these areas were determined to need
some grading and live staking. Live staking was completed in all graded areas by the planting
crew in February 2024. DWR confirmed that these activities were completed during the site visit
on March 26t", 2024, and provided documentation of its completion in the Task 2 Credit Release.
Bobs Branch (2020-1384 V1) easement was closed and secured on August 11t", 2023. There was a
minor change of the Bobs Branch Conservation Easement between the submittal of the BPDP
Approval and the construction of the site. The change occurred on the northern boundary along
Bobs Branch. Although, it does not affect much crediting. After the final boundary survey, a
discrepancy in the boundaries between the two parcels altered the easement boundary to follow
the centerline of the stream on the most downstream end. This resulted in a reduction in the
overall easement area from 11.52 to 11.36 acres. The conservation easement is marked with t-
posts and signage every 200 feet along the outer boundaries, and every 150 feet along Bobs
Branch and the tree line to the west of the easement (Appendix Q. A total of 4,742 feet of fencing
was erected around the southern border of the easement to discontinue livestock access to the
site.
1.6 Baseline Monitoring Performance
The Bobs Branch monitoring activities were completed in March 2024. All Baseline Monitoring
data is presented below and in the appendices. The Project is on track to meeting success criteria.
RES installed nine permanent vegetation plots on site. Monitoring of the nine permanent
vegetation plots was completed on March 5t", 2024. Vegetation data tables are in Appendix B
and associated photos are in Appendix C. Monitoring Year 0 (MYO) monitoring data indicates
that all plots are exceeding the success criteria of 260 planted stems per acre. Planted stem
densities ranged from 728 to 1,052 planted stems per acre with a mean of 841 planted stems per
acre across all plots. A total of 11 species were documented within the plots. Volunteer species

were not noted at baseline monitoring but are expected to be established in upcoming years. The
average tree height observed was 1.2 feet.
During the as -built site visit, there was a small area adjacent to Bobs Branch and a small wetland
area that appeared to have a low stem density. These areas were supplementally planted with
approved three -gallon tree species and live stakes on April 12, 2024. Photos are included in
Appendix C.
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. Diffuse flow was also maintained throughout the conservation easement area.
Additionally, initial invasive species treatment was administered in February 2024.

a 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 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 (10.67 acres) and are representative of the riparian
restoration 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. In the field, the four corners of each plot were permanently marked with PVC at
the origin and metal conduit at the other corners.
