Our response comments are in bold. Please note, one change was made that was not in response to a specific comment. The proposed vegetation plot locations were modified due to the number of proposed plots being reduced from 17 to 16. The proposed locations are depicted in Figure 8 - Planting Plan & Monitoring Map. NCDEQ— DWR REVIEW Blake Hartshorn 919. 707. 3684 Katie Merritt 919. 707. 3637 Page Label is 1. Change DWR Project # to V2 [2023-0137-V2]. McAdams Response: The DWR Project Number has been updated to say "2023-0137 V2". Page Label iii: 2. [Tables] Change Table 10 header to read "Project Credit Table as is what is referenced in the template UBI. McAdams Response: The header has been updated to read "Project Credits Table". 3. [Figures] Change Figure 7 to exclude monitoring plots. See comments on Figure 7 for editing requirements. McAdams Response: Veg plots have been moved to Figure 8 - Planting Plan & Monitoring Map. 4. [Figures] Add a Figure 8 to represent "Planting Plan & Monitoring Map". McAdams Response: Figure 8 - Planting Plan & Monitoring Map has been added. creating experiences through experience 621 Hillsborough Street, Suite 500, Raleigh, NC 27603 / 919. 361. 5000 � MCADAMS RESPONSE TO COMMENTS > ECT22003 5. [Appendices] These photos pre -date the viability site visit by DWR. Include more updated photos that are dated closer to the date of the Plan submittal. Make sure the photos included will be timestamped and represent the riparian areas adjacent to the streams and the ditch. DWR is not suggesting replacing the photos, just adding a new set of more recently taken photos depicting site conditions. McAdams Response: Site photos taken on July 10, 2024 have been added to the Appendix A. Page Label 4: 6. [Section 1.0 Introduction] This sentence is very long, slightly confusing to understand who the "Sponsor" is. Clean this sentence up a little to make it clear the Sponsor is Terra 2023, LLC. McAdams Response: The sentence has been updated to clarify that Terra 2023, LLC is the Bank Sponsor. 7. [Section 1.0 Introduction] UBI should be UMBI since there are both nutrient offsets AND mitigation. McAdams Response: The document has been updated so that all instances where "Umbrella Banking Instrument" or "UBI" were used now read "Umbrella Mitigation Banking Instrument" or "UMBI" respectively. Page Label 6: 8. [Section 2.2 Existing Conditions] While this language does clarify no changes have occurred, photos need to be included in the Plan that support this statement. McAdams Response: Photos taken on July 10, 2024 support the statement and have been added to the Appendix A. Page Label 7: 9. [Table 2: Project Attributes] I recommend the 12 digit HUC here. McAdams Response: The HUC has been updated to the 12-digit HUC. Label Page 9: 10. [Section 2.6 Vegetation] There is mention to bushhogging the top of banks before planting, but I'm not sure what the purpose of bushhogging or mowing is. Explain the vegetation along the banks of where the Sponsor is planning to mow/bushhog, so I/we can understand the intent of this necessity. McAdams Response: To clarify, bushhogging is not planned for the streambanks. This description has been added to Section 2.6. In between D2 and S2, herbaceous vegetation extends approximately 30 to 80- feet from the top of bank to active row crops. These areas will need to be mowed prior to planting so that equipment can access and mechanically plant the riparian area up to and including the top of streambank. creating experiences through experience 2 of 9 � MCADAMS RESPONSE TO COMMENTS > ECT22003 Label Page 10: 11. Culverts are also considered constraints. Acknowledge those culverts here and reference Figure 3 where I need you to add the location of existing culvert. McAdams Response: The survey crew did not pick up any culverts and a site visit was conducted on July 10, 2024 confirming that no culverts exist on this reach. Page Label 11: 12. [Section 4.0 Mitigation Work Plan] Since there are no riparian areas less than 50', change 30 to 50. Nutrient offset isn't viable off widths less than 50, so by making sure you tell me the site isn't less than 50', it helps me know that the entire site will likely be convertible to NOC. McAdams Response: The paragraph has been updated to indicate a minimum buffer width of 50 feet. 13. [Section 4.1 Parcel Preparation] Add details about culvert removal, bank stabilization where culverts are removed is required to ensure banks are not eroding and contributing nutrients or sediment to the streams. McAdams Response: The survey crew and a subsequent field visit conducted on July 10, 2024 could not locate the referenced culvert. A note has been added that if the culvert is encountered during the Site Preparation, it will be removed and the banks stabilized. 14. [Section 4.1 Parcel Preparation] Bushhogging invasives between the rows is not an activity DWR supports as a standard response to handling invasives or herbaceous competition. This could be done. McAdams Response: Sentence has been reworded to include bushhogging prior to planting as a means for invasive plant removal during parcel preparation. Page Label 12: 15. [Section 4.1 Parcel Preparation] Explain what exactly will be considered "dense vegetation" that will be mowed. Clarify that trees will not be mowed prior to planting. McAdams Response: A description of the existing herbaceous vegetation was added to Section 2.6 and an explanation for mowing was added to Section 4.1. The statement "No trees will be removed" has been added to Section 4.1. 16. [Section 4.1 Parcel Preparation] More detail surrounding the placement of hay bales is needed. How will the hay bales be secured? Will there be trees planted within the swale, any live staking in the hay (we've seen this in all cases where hay bales are used to control sediment), any coir matting used ... etc. Just back filling with hay bales and dirt isn't likely to resolve the sediment loss on this steep sloped area long term. McAdams Response: Additional details have been provided for stabilizing the swale, see Section 4.1 Parcel Preparation. creating experiences through experience 3 of 9 � MCADAMS RESPONSE TO COMMENTS > ECT22003 17. [Section 4.1 Parcel Preparation] All rills and erosional features... These areas need to be identified at this stage in the process. Figure 3 needs to show where these areas are and how prevalent it is observed for this Mitigation Plan. If things change between now and AsBuilt, then Terra can inform DWR of those changes prior to the Task 2 site walk. DWR will be observing these areas during the As -Built walk. McAdams Response: Areas of erosional concern have been added to Figure 3 (Existing Conditions Map). 18. [Section 4.2 Restoration Activities] Add a Site Plan Map that shows "areas to be planted" and reference that figure in this section. McAdams Response: Figure 8 - Planting Plan & Monitoring Map has been added to NOBMP and referenced in Section 4.3 (formerly Section 4.2). 19. [Section 4.2 Restoration Activities] What trees were ID'd in the reference survey? This information should be in the Plan and provided under Existing Conditions. McAdams Response: A summary of observed existing vegetation has been added to the Existing Conditions Section 2.6. 20. [Section 4.2 Restoration Activities] Change Spring 2024 to another acceptable time frame. McAdams Response: The sentence has been updated to say that planting is planned for Spring 2025. The schedule has been updated throughout the document to reflect this updated timeframe. Page Label 13: 21. [Table 8: Proposed Planting Plan] This column isn't necessary since the entire site is being planted with MMHF. McAdams Response: The planting zone column and associated footnote has been removed from Table 8. 22. [Table 8: Proposed Planting Plan] These 13 species all add up to 100% density to be planted, however, the text above in 4.2 doesn't specifically state 13 species will be planted, instead it says a minimum of 8. If at least 8 species will be planted, then Sponsor needs to identify which 8 of the 13 are their primary species and then select the remaining 5 that will be used as "substitutions" if any of the 8 primary species are not available. Additionally, the Sponsor needs to include the % of those remaining 4 substitutions that may need to be utilized. McAdams Response: The paragraph has been updated to indicate that all species listed in Table 8 are to be planted in accordance to their respective percentages. As these species are subject to nursery availability, if the species are unavailable, a new species list will be submitted for DWR approval. 23. [Table 8: Proposed Planting Plan] Add a column for "Tree/Shrub" and add that information for each species proposed. McAdams Response: A Tree/Shrub column has been added to Table 8. creating experiences through experience 4 of 9 � MCADAMS RESPONSE TO COMMENTS > ECT22003 24. [Section 4.3 DWR As -Built Evaluation] Add language to this section identifying what activities should be completed at this stage: including adequately marking the easement boundaries, installing all the plots, plantings completed, culvert maintenance complete (if applicable), culvert removals (if applicable), bank stabilization measures, sediment and erosion controls of rills and gullies, etc. McAdams Response: A description of completed activities has been included in Section 4.4 (formerly Section 4.3). 25. [Section 5.1 Performance Standards] Correct the reference from UBI to UMBI throughout. McAdams Response: All UBI and Umbrella Banking Instrument references have been changed to UMBI and Umbrella Mitigation Banking Instrument, respectively. Page Label 14: 26. [Section 5.2 Monitoring] Clarify that the number of plots is in fact making up 2 percent of the planted area, not the mitigation area. Therefore, Preservation wouldn't be included in these totals. What is the total planted area in acres?? According to the DRAFT project credit table, it's about 19 acres. McAdams Response: The number of plots is based on the total planted area for credit. It does not include the preservation area. Total planted area is 19.5 acres (849,506 sf). Calculation has been updated for the revised credit areas. 27. [Section 5.2 Monitoring] Commit to including a photo representing the swale with each monitoring report. Since this area is credit generating, it has to be planted and it has to be maintained throughout the 5 years to keep it stable and functioning. McAdams Response: A statement committing to photo documentation of the swale in each monitoring report has been added to Section 5.2. 28. [Section 5.2 Monitoring] The new monitoring protocol for height and vigor is to record height for each stem in each plot in years 1, 3 and 5. Average vigor per plot is to be recorded in years 1, 3, and 5. adjust language accordingly. Remember that all other monitoring expectations are the same for years 1-5 consecutively. This was voted on during the Fall Provider's meeting at DWR. McAdams Response: Section 5.2 and Table 9 have been revised to reflect the new monitoring protocol. Page Label 15: 29. [Section 5.4 Parcel Boundary Maintenance] Add that additional boundary markers will be added within the utility crossing to clearly mark the easement. McAdams Response: The paragraph has been updated to indicate that additional boundary markers will be added with the utility to clearly mark the easement. creating experiences through experience 5 of 9 � MCADAMS RESPONSE TO COMMENTS > ECT22003 30. [Section 5.4 Parcel Boundary Maintenance] Add language that if there are any encroachments within the conservation easement that the Sponsor will notify DWR promptly, take corrective measures, provide written notification to the landowner (or third party) and include all information in the monitoring report. McAdams Response: A sentence has been added to Section 5.4 to indicate that the Sponsor will follow proper procedures if encroachments are observed within the easement. Page Label 16: 31. [Section 7.1 Credit Potential] If the entire easement boundary is going to be planted, it is assumed that this means even the areas >200'. Back this statement up with supporting figure that shows "Planted Area". McAdams Response: Section 7.1 has been revised to specifically describe the areas within the conservation easement that will not be planted. The proposed planting area is shown on Figure 8 and is referenced in Section 7.1. Page Label 17: 32. [Table 10: Project Credits] Change title to be "Project Credit Table". McAdams Response: The title for Table 10 has been updated to read "Project Credit Table". 33. [Table 10: Project Credits] Remove any area recorded in this column [Total Creditable Area of Buffer Mitigation] if the credit type selected is nutrient offset and it is checked "NO" for buffer credit. McAdams Response: Total (Creditable) Area of Buffer Mitigation column has been revised per comment. 34. [Table 10: Project Credits] Add a row showing non -diffused flow off D1 and check "No" for both buffer credit and nutrient offset credit. McAdams Response: D1 does not enter the easement boundary. S1 is the feature that enters the boundary. As such, a reduction for diffuse flow is not applicable. Figure 3 — Existing Conditions Map: 35. [D2 Origin] This area was described as dense herbs and invasives in the viability letter. How is this area being addressed during the Site Preparation section? McAdams Response: A description has been added to Section 4.1 Parcel Preparation. 36. [S2] There was a culvert found here during the site viability. Add a culvert here. Will this culvert be removed? If so, state that in the Site Plan Map you create. McAdams Response: Survey did not pick up a culvert at this location. The Sponsor has revisited the site on 07.10.24 and confirmed that a culvert does not exist on this stream. A statement has been added to Section 4.1 Parcel Preparation that the if a culvert is found, it will be removed, streambanks stabilized and planted as necessary. creating experiences through experience 6 of 9 MCADAMS RESPONSE TO COMMENTS > ECT22003 37. [S2] Add a zoomed in "Call out" to D3. It's hard to tell if D3 is including in the CE or not. McAdams Response: D3 feature has been added to Figure 3 and a description has been added to Section 2.2 Existing Conditions clarifying that it is within the Parcel but a non-credit area. 38. [Electric Utility Line Easement] This easement line appears to be on the DOT ROW... it is best to stay an additional 10-20' off the R.O.W when at all possible to reduce risk of DOT mowing farther than their restricted area. McAdams Response: Conservation Easement has been revised as a 10' offset from DOT right-of-way. 39. Add any "major" areas of sink holes, gullies, swales, etc that will need to be addressed. Minor erosion and erosion that continues to change course depending on the day, do not need to be called out. I remember more issues than just the Swale. McAdams Response: Additional erosional areas have been added to Figure 3. Figure 7 — Draft Credit Generation Map: 40. [S2] At least 50' but no more than 100' can be measured off the S2. Here, there are no credits being measured off S2 at this confluence with the ditch. Revise to show at least 50 but no more than 100' of restoration being measured off S2. McAdams Response: A 100' wide credit for buffer mitigation has been added to S2 upstream of confluence with D2. 41. [PP3] Add a Photo Point for the Swale. McAdams Response: A Photo Point has been added for the Swale to Figure 8. 42. [Center of parcel area] The tree line survey on Figure 3 shows a thin riparian buffer existing along S2. Modify the restoration to be Preservation within the tree line boundaries as depicted on Figure 3. Update the project credit table accordingly and any relevant text within the Plan. McAdams Response: The tree line originally shown on Figure 3 was determined by survey location of canopy and dense herbaceous vegetation and does not accurately depict the forested area that meets the requirements to qualify as a designated Preservation Area. The Sponsor has revisited the site to validate existing the tree line boundaries and proposed Preservation Areas. The tree line depicted on Figure 3, project credit table and text in Section 2.2 have been revised accordingly. 43. [S1 Start] The ditch would be non -diffused flow... show that reduction here and add a line item to the Project Credit Table showing that Ditch as non -diffused flow. Add the Clarification memo (referenced in the UMBI) to the Appendix of this Plan. McAdams Response: D1 does not enter the easement boundary. S1 is the feature that enters the CE. As such, a deduction for diffuse flow and the Clarification Memo are not applicable. creating experiences through experience 7 of 9 MCADAMS RESPONSE TO COMMENTS > ECT22003 44. [Electric Utility Line Easement] Add a call out here to show that the CE boundary within this crossing will be marked differently than the rest of the easement - with more markers and even flagging to give this area a clear boundary. Add text to section 5.4 to indicate this additional boundary marking within this crossing. McAdams Response: A callout has been added to Figure 7 and text has been added to Section 5.4. 45. [Electric Utility Line Easement] What about these areas that are greater than 200', are they being planted, are they considered "non=credit"? Explain in Section 7 and label accordingly. McAdams Response: Figure 8 has been generated to show the area to be planted within the easement boundary. Figure 7 has been revised to show all non-credit areas within the easement boundary. Text has been added to Section 7.1 describing the non-credit areas and areas to be planted within the easement boundary. 46. [Legend] Add "Riparian" to all these identifiers. example: Riparian Preservation. McAdams Response: The Legend items have been revised. 47. [Legend] Show the width boundaries differently (see map). Each boundary (50, 100, 200) needs to be represented in the legend. Currently, the lines are gray on the Figure and the gray lines represent all the boundaries. McAdams Response: 30, 50, 100, 200 ft boundary lines have been added to Figure 7 and 8. Existing credit boundary lines have been changed from gray to their respective colors in the legend. 48. Remove plots from this Figure and create a separate figure for showing Plots and "Planted Area". McAdams Response: Veg plots have been removed from Figure 7 and added to Figure 8 - Planting Plan & Monitoring Map with the planting area. 49. [Title Block] Redefine this map and call it Riparian Mitigation Plan, Site Plan or Mitigation Work Plan, etc. Create a separate map for the monitoring plots. This figure should provide credit assets as well as anything important noted in the text of the Plan. McAdams Response: Figure 7 has been renamed Riparian Mitigation Plan and Figure 8 — Planting Plan & Monitoring Map has been generated. Pages 30-31, Appendix A — Site Photographs: 50. These are actually great photos for representing the riparian conditions. Keep these photos but we need more recent ones as well. McAdams Response: Additional photos taken on July 10, 2024 have been added to Appendix A. creating experiences through experience 8 of 9 � MCADAMS RESPONSE TO COMMENTS > ECT22003 Consideration of this response is greatly appreciated.

The project site is situated along the north side of NC Highway 55 approximately 0.6 miles west of the Suttontown Road intersection in Wayne County, NC (Figure 1). The Nutrient Offset & Buffer Mitigation Plan (NOBMP) is being submitted for review under the proposed Terra Neuse 01 Umbrella Mitigation Banking Instrument (UMBI) between the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (DWR) and the Bank Sponsor, Terra 2023, LLC (Sponsor). Terra 2023, LLC, is a disregarded entity of Eco Terra, LLC, a Georgia Limited Liability Company with further registration with North Carolina Secretary of State. The proposed Parcel has been planned and designed according to 15A NCAC 02B .0295 for buffer mitigation, 15A NCAC 02B .0703 for nutrient offsets, and the UMBI since Rule .0703 doesn't specifically address riparian restoration for generating nutrient offsets. The Parcel is approximately 22.51 acres (ac), or 980,695 square feet (sgft), of a 35.6-ac tract that encompasses a series of forked, interconnected ditches and unnamed tributaries to Thoroughfare Swamp. The project is located within the Neuse River Basin 8-digit hydrological unit code (HUC) 03020201, commonly referred to as Neuse 01. The NOBMP is being submitted for riparian buffer credit (RBC) and nutrient offset credit (NOC) in the service area designated by Neuse River Basin HUC 03020201, excluding Falls Lake Watershed (Figure 2). The Parcel encompasses three unnamed tributaries and one agricultural ditch that converge and flow into Thoroughfare Swamp, approximately 1,300 linear feet downstream of the project area, and subsequently into Falling Creek and the Neuse River. The proposed project is expected to generate 480,169.348 (RBC) and 19,470.318 pounds (Ibs) of nitrogen NOC. The final Parcel area will be delineated and depicted in the As -Built Survey and submitted with the As -Built Survey. Therefore, credit totals may change slightly depending on the As -Built Survey. The Parcel will address agricultural runoff by reducing sediment and nutrient loading into the unnamed tributaries and Thoroughfare Swamp. Thoroughfare Swamp is classified as Class C and Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW) by DWR. The project area and surrounding areas are open agricultural land, primarily managed for sweet potatoes and soybeans. The proposed project will improve terrestrial habitats along the streams and ditches by establishing and preserving the riparian buffers and adjacent riparian areas and allowing the land to undergo a natural succession to a forested community. The project will restore forested riparian buffers and adjacent riparian areas a minimum width of 50 feet from tops of banks and extend out to a maximum of approximately 200 feet from the project features (streams and ditches) and will remove crop and fertilizer inputs. The restored riparian buffer and adjacent riparian areas will filter agricultural runoff from the surrounding farm fields and provide shading to reduce stream temperatures and improve aquatic habitat. Invasive vegetation will be managed as needed within the project area to promote native vegetation. ,' New Farm Nutrient Offset & Buffer Mitigation Plan 4 �CO'k rrQ.. HUC 03020201, Excluding Falls Watershed July 2024 Eco Terra I New Farm Nutrient Offset & Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site The project involves the restoration and preservation of riparian buffers and adjacent riparian areas along two unnamed tributaries and one ditch that flow to Thoroughfare Swamp. Land disturbing activities include site preparation for planting trees to enhance the vegetative buffer up to 200 feet from the streams and ditches within the approximate 22.51-acre project easement. Historical land use has been agriculture for the past 70 years according to historical USDA aerials. The project site will be permanently protected and preserved with a conservation easement that will ultimately be transferred to a DWR-approved land trust for long-term stewardship according to the UMBI. 2.0 Mitigation Project Summary 2.1 Project Goals The major goal of the proposed buffer and adjacent riparian area restoration is to improve water quality through ecological enhancements within the Neuse River Basin. This will be accomplished with specific goals to address agricultural runoff, including nutrients and sediment, restore terrestrial habitat and protect the project parcel in perpetuity. This aligns with DWR's Neuse River Basin Restoration Priorities which include "promote nutrient and sediment reduction in agricultural areas by restoring and preserving wetlands, streams, and riparian buffers." Specific goals and objectives are outlined in Table 1. Table 7: Water Quality and Ecological Goals and Objectives Goal Objective Establish and restore riparian buffers and adjacent riparian Reduce nutrient loading areas to filter runoff and subsurface flows from adjacent agricultural fields. Remove fertilizer input through conversion of agricultural field to forested riparian buffer. Establish and restore riparian buffers and adjacent riparian Reduce sediment loading areas to filter runoff from adjacent agricultural fields. Provide vegetative bank stabilization to decrease sediment input. Establish a wide riparian corridor with canopy closure to filter Decrease water temperature nutrients and provide stream shading, reducing water and increase dissolved oxygen temperature and increasing concentration of dissolved oxygen. Restore terrestrial habitat Plant riparian corridor with native vegetation and manage invasives. Protect project in perpetuity Implement and record a conservation easement on the Parcel. 2.2 Existing Conditions The Parcel will convert approximately 22.51 acres of agricultural fields — most recently in sweet potatoes and soybeans — to forested buffers and riparian areas along two unnamed tributaries (S1 and S2) and one agricultural ditch (D2). Refer to Figure 3 and Appendix A for the Existing Conditions Map and site photographs collected on July 11, 2023, and July 10, 2024, respectively. ,' New Farm Nutrient Offset & Buffer Mitigation Plan 5 GCO'Grra HUC 03020201, Excluding Falls Watershed July 2024 Eco Terra I New Farm Nutrient Offset & Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site The tree line shown in Figure 3, delineating Preservation areas from Restoration areas was determined by survey location of canopy and adjusted inward to approximate trunk locations using recent aerial imagery and subsequent field visits. The tree line will be revised during the As - Built Survey by locating tree trunks and preservation and riparian areas will be finalized. The site has been revisited several times during the NOBMP development process and there have been no changes to land use nor site conditions. D1 originates from a culvert crossing under NC Highway 55 and is located west of the project area. It flows through a 42-inch reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) culvert under a farm path, just outside of the project area and transitions into stream S1 (within the project area). S1, an intermittent stream, flows northeast until its confluence with S2. S2, an intermittent stream, enters the project area from a culvert crossing under NC Highway 55 at the southern end of the project area and flows north past its confluence with S1 and D2 to the project terminus. D2 originates within the agricultural field in the northwestern region of the project area and flows northeast until its confluence with S2. D3 is a disconnected ditch that exists within the Parcel to the east of S2. D3 will remain in place and the western top of bank serves as a boundary that limits the NOC credit potential for a portion of the riparian area adjacent to S2. Both S1 and S2 are mapped water features on the 1974 Wayne County Soil Survey; however, only S2 is depicted on the 1997 US Geological Survey's (USGS) 1:24000 scale Dobbersville, NC 7.5-minute Topographic Quadrangle (Figure 4). The majority of the parcel is composed of agricultural fields, except for mature trees to be preserved along S2 and D2, as shown on Figure 3. The east and west sides of the project area border agricultural fields, the north side abuts a forested area, and the south side runs along the NC Highway 55 right-of-way. Historical aerials denote that land use, including configuration of the channels, at the project site has been consistent since 1950 (see Appendix B). Between 1999 and 2006 a ditch to the west of S2 was filled between S1 and D2. There are several erosional rills located within the project area that will be stabilized as part of the riparian restoration (see section 4.1). There is an overhead electric line with a 20-foot utility easement that crosses S1 and S2 within the southern part of the Parcel. Project attributes associated with the proposed Parcel are outlined in Table 2.

DWR issued the official Stream Call Determination letter on March 22, 2023. On August 8, 2023, DWR staff re -visited the site to determine the potential for riparian buffer mitigation and nutrient offset within the proposed easement boundary per 15A NCAC 02B .0295 and 15A NCAC 02B .0703, respectively. DWR issued the official Site Viability letter on October 24, 2023. A copy of both the "Applicability to the Neuse River Basin Buffer Rules" and "Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset" letters issued by DWR are provided in Appendix C and summarized in Table 3.

All the site's water conveyance features drain to S2 which flows to Thoroughfare Swamp. Thoroughfare Swamp is classified as Class C and Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW) by DWR. Thoroughfare Swamp is approximately 1,300 linear feet downstream of the project area. Class C waters are protected for uses which include aquatic life propagation, survival and maintenance of biological integrity, wildlife, secondary contact recreation and agriculture. The NSW designation is for waters needing nutrient management due to excessive growth of microscopic or macroscopic vegetation. �W New Farm Nutrient Offset & Buffer Mitigation Plan ecn, erra. HUC 03020201, Excluding Falls Watershed 7 July 2024 Eco Terra I New Farm Nutrient Offset & Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site Drainage areas were delineated for the project area's streams (S1, S2) and viable ditch feature (D2) utilizing Wayne County's 2-foot Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data (Figure 5). According to the 2019 USGS National Land Cover Database (NLCD), the drainage area is primarily agricultural use with limited residential use. Table 4 summarizes the drainage areas and current land use. Table 4: Drainage Area and Land Use 2.5 Soils and Geology The project area's soils, as mapped by the 1974 Soil Survey of Wayne County, are loamy sand and sandy loam, and consist of the Bibb (Bb), Kalmia (Ka) and Norfolk (No) series (see Figure 6). A description of the site's soils is provided in Table 5. Norfolk soils comprise most of the soils underlying the Parcel at 87.3%. S1 and S2 are depicted as streams on the Wayne County 1974 USDA Soil Survey map sheet 35 (see Figure 6). Table 5: Soil Series Name Map Unit SymbolSoil Poorly drained soil on flood plains.

HUC 03020201, Excluding Falls Watershed 8 July 2024 Eco Terra I New Farm Nutrient Offset & Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site Geologically, the Parcel is located within the Rolling Coastal Plain of the Middle and Upper Coastal Plains physiographic province. Broad, flat terraces, adjacent to low -gradient stream channels, characterize both the Middle and Upper Coastal Plains. 2.6 Vegetation Vegetative communities within the project area consist of active row crops of sweet potatoes, soybeans and early successional, herbaceous, and woody vegetation along the streams, ditches and riparian areas that are mowed and maintained. In some areas, specifically the riparian area adjacent to S2 and in between D2 and S2, herbaceous vegetation extends approximately 30 to 80-feet from the top of bank to active row crops. These areas will need to be mowed prior to planting so that equipment can access and mechanically plant the riparian area up to and including the top of streambank. Existing vegetation includes several facultative (FAC), facultative wetland (FACW) and facultative upland (FACU) species with some obligate wetland (OBL) and obligate upland (UPL) species present. Observed species include: • Sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) FAC • Willow oak (Quercus phellos) FACW • Water oak (Quercus nigra) FAC • Post oak (Quercus stellata) UPL • Tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) FACU • Black cherry (Prunus serotina) FACU • American basswood (Tilia americana) FACU 2.7 Threatened and Endangered Species • Sugarberry (Celtis laevigata) FACW • Common elderberry (Sambucus canadensis) FACW • Black willow (Salix nigra) OBL • Red maple (Acer rubrum) FAC • American holly (Ilex opaca) FAC • Devil's walkingstick (Aralia spinosa) FAC • Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) FACU The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) database and NC Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) database were utilized to identify federally threatened and endangered species in the project area. In a letter dated October 11, 2022, the USFWS identified four federally threatened and endangered species under the Endangered Species Act and one species under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act as potentially occurring in the project vicinity. According to the USFWS, there are no critical habitats within the project area. A review of the NC Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) data dated October 12, 2022, did not identify any known occurrences of federally listed species within one mile of the project site, although it did make note of three species classified under the North Carolina Status as Significantly Rare. Significantly Rare designations indicate rarity and the need for population monitoring and conservative action; However, it is a non -regulatory NCNHP designation. No eagles or eagle nests were observed, and construction activities will occur outside the window of the breeding time for local birds. Letters and responses have been included in the Appendix D. Table 6 summarizes the threatened and endangered species evaluation. ,' New Farm Nutrient Offset & Buffer Mitigation Plan 9 �CO'k rra HUC 03020201, Excluding Falls Watershed July 2024 Eco Terra I New Farm Nutrient Offset & Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site Table 6: Federally Listed SpPr- Scientific Name Picoides borealis Common Name Red -cockaded Woodpecker Federal Status .E= Endangered Suitable Habitat No Necturus lewisi Neuse River Waterdog Threatened No Noturus furiosus Carolina Madtom Endangered No Danaus plexippus Monarch Butterfly Candidate No 2.8 Cultural Resources The NC State Historic Preservation Office's (SHPO) online mapping resource was reviewed to determine the presence of known historic resources at or near the project site. According to the database, there are no known historical resources within the project site. Three features were found within a mile of the project site. The Marshall Kornegay House and Cemetery are located 0.56 miles from the project site and are classified as "National Register" sites. Odom Mill Crossroads is located 0.6 miles from the project site and is classified as a "Surveyed Area, No designation" site. An unnamed house is located 0.77 miles from the project site. These sites will not be disturbed for the proposed project. A letter was submitted to SHPO on September 7, 2023, requesting review and comment and is included in Appendix D. SHPO responded on December 6, 2023, indicating they were not aware of any historic resources that would be affected by the project. Both letters are included in Appendix D. 2.9 FEMA Floodplain and Permitting Compliance The Parcel is not located within the 100-year floodplain and will not require FEMA coordination nor a floodplain development permit. Neither substantial grading activities nor hydraulic modeling are proposed for this project. Stabilization of the erosional rill west of S2 will be backfilled with a clay plug, hay bales and fill dirt and stabilized with seeding prior to planting. The project will not encroach on the NCDOT right-of-way along NC Highway 55 W or the overhead power line 20-foot easement. There are no other known easements at or near the project site that would prevent project implementation. 2.10 Parcel Constraints and Access The Parcel can be accessed via a farm path off NC Highway 55 at the southwestern corner of the project area for long-term access and site maintenance and monitoring. As shown in Appendix A, Figure 3 Existing Conditions Map, the only constraint is an electric utility easement running through the south boundary of the site. This easement will not be disturbed and will be excluded from the conservation easement boundary. The Parcel is bordered by an NCDOT right-of-way to the south. The proposed easement is located 10 feet from the right-of-way in order to protect the Parcel from accidental mowing or other right-of-way maintenance. The Site Viability letter noted a culvert present along S2 however on -site surveys did not locate this culvert. There are no other known constraints on the proposed project Parcel. 2.11 Other Environmental Conditions A site assessment was conducted by Environmental Data Resources (EDR) to comply with standards set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and other environmental due diligence requests to evaluate environmental �W New Farm Nutrient Offset & Buffer Mitigation Plan 10 eCO, errC. HUC 03020201, Excluding Falls Watershed July 2024 Eco Terra I New Farm Nutrient Offset & Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site risk for the Parcel. The EDR report, October 12, 2022, determined the site was not located in any Federal, State or Tribal environmental databases and there were no known, potentially hazardous, waste sites within or immediately adjacent to the project site. The EDR report is provided in Appendix E. 3.0 Site Protection Instrument and Long-term Management The land required to plant and restore the riparian buffer and adjacent riparian areas, access the conservation easement, and manage the mitigation project includes 22.51 acres of the Parcel listed in Table 7. The Parcel will be transferred to an approved DWR long-term stewardship entity prior to the submittal of the Year 4 Monitoring Report. It will remain in private ownership, protected in its entirety by the long-term stewardship entity, and will be managed under the terms detailed in an approved DWR conservation easement. The long-term trustee and manager will be responsible for the periodic inspection of the Parcel to ensure the conservation easement is upheld and the land is protected in perpetuity. The Sponsor has selected Southern Conservation Trust, Inc. (SCT) to assume responsibility as holding the conservation easement and serving as the long-term steward. Refer to Appendix F for SCT's letter of intent. Table 7: Landowner and Long-term Protection 4.0 Mitigation Work Plan The proposed project will restore riparian buffers and adjacent riparian areas along one agricultural ditch (D2) and two unnamed tributaries (S1 and S2) that flow to Thoroughfare Swamp. The Parcel will provide riparian buffer mitigation credits by protecting the riparian area from top of bank to a minimum 50-foot width and maximum 100-foot width along the streams (S1 and S2). Riparian buffer mitigation credits are also proposed through preservation of a riparian area adjacent to S1 and, S2 for a minimum 30-foot width and maximum 200-ft width. The parcel will provide nutrient offset credits by protecting the riparian area from the 100-foot offset from top of banks along the streams and minimum 50-foot width along the ditch, to a maximum 200-foot width. The project will not have any adverse impacts to existing stream and water conveyance. 4.1 Parcel Preparation The land proposed for riparian restoration is currently in agricultural row crop production, therefore the site preparation will require minimal soil disturbance. Soil fertility may be assessed to determine any site soil deficiencies prior to plant establishment. Planting will occur using �W New Farm Nutrient Offset & Buffer Mitigation Plan 11 eCO, errC. HUC 03020201, Excluding Falls Watershed July 2024 Eco Terra I New Farm Nutrient Offset & Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site located, photographed, and addressed through minor grading, erosion control matting, seeding and/or live staking, as necessary, for soil stabilization. Areas of erosional concern have been identified and are depicted on the Existing Conditions Map (Figure 3). No NC Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources (DEMLR) nor local County permits are anticipated for stabilizing compromised areas. An appropriate temporary seed mix will be applied, as necessary, to provide temporary ground cover for soil stabilization and reduction of sediment loss during rain events in areas without existing herbaceous cover. The Site Viability letter noted a culvert present along S2 however site surveys did not locate the referenced culvert. S2 will be walked before planting begins and if a culvert is found, it will be removed and the streambanks will be stabilized with minor grading, erosion control matting, seeding and live stakes planted as necessary. 4.2 Preservation Activities There will be no parcel preparation work done in the riparian preservation areas along S1 and S2 as shown in Figure 7 and as defined 15NCAC 02B .0295(o)(5). There is a small area of existing tree line that is just outside of the 200-foot width from top of S2's bank. As such, it is shown as a no credit area as it does not meet the width requirements to provide preservation for mitigation credit. The area of preservation credit within the Parcel shall comprise of no more than 25% of the total area of buffer mitigation proposed. 4.3 Restoration Activities The planting plan for the riparian restoration area includes restoring native tree species with bare root seedlings and seeding to convert the active farming area to a vegetated riparian corridor as shown in Figure 8. Trees will be planted with a density sufficient to meet the performance standards outlined in the Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 and in the UMBI of 260 trees per acre at the end of five years. Initial planting densities will be approximately 622 trees per acre (10-foot by 7- foot spacing). All species will be well mixed in bags prior to being planted to ensure adequate distribution across the planting areas. The Sponsorwill oversee the planting efforts bythe planting crews to ensure adequate stem placement and diversity, including planting the top of banks. The Parcel's riparian buffers and adjacent riparian areas will be re -vegetated with species consistent of those identified during the reference survey and additional species suggested by Schafale (2012) for the Mixed Forest and Coastal Plain. Target community tree species are shown in Table 8, which includes 16 species and ensures that no one tree species will be greater than 50% (as noted in the aforementioned rule). Species may vary based on nursery availability. If the species found in Table 8 are not available, a new species list will be submitted for DWR approval. An appropriate permanent seed mixture will be planted that may include species beneficial to pollinators or species that act as larval hosts for pollinators such as butterflies (e.g., big bluestem). Seeding will not be applied to areas with an existing native herbaceous layer. Planting is planned for winter 2024-2025. ,' New Farm Nutrient Offset & Buffer Mitigation Plan 13 �CC'k rrC. HUC 03020201, Excluding Falls Watershed July 2024 Eco Terra I New Farm Nutrient Offset & Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site mechanical and manual methods. Soil ripping will occur in the mechanically planted rows to break up plow pans and compacted soils. Additional site preparation such as ripping and discing will occur within compacted areas, like farm paths proposed for planting. The Sponsor will be using an integrated pest management approach to deal with invasive species. This technique falls in line with the site's best management practices and will use a combination of in field practices to allow for the success of this restoration. The Sponsor will identify the invasive species and work with a NC agriculture certified applicator with the aquatic certification. The chemical application (herbicidal spray application) will be used in coordination with mechanical (bushhogging prior to planting), cultural and biological controls to prevent adverse impacts to non -target organisms. The Sponsor will be contracting a seed drill to install the conservation cover and permanent seed thus allowing the native seed bank to regenerate. Herbicide may be applied during the post -planting phase for at least the first three years as needed and approved by DWR. The fields within the project area contain a limited number of invasive plants and herbicide will only be sprayed in areas where there is an existing population of non-native invasive plant species. These techniques and infield practices will assure the viability and long-term success of this restoration. Areas immediately adjacent to the top of banks will be handplanted, not ripped, to prevent soil erosion and runoff from entering the surface water. Riparian areas, where dense herbaceous vegetation exists between the top of stream banks and previous row crops, will be mowed and treated with an herbicidal spray prior to planting so that proposed planting areas can be accessed with equipment and mechanically planted up to and including the top of bank. No trees will be removed. Non-native invasive species are present and will be removed during planting to minimize potential for competition with target vegetative communities. As noted in the DWR Site Viability Assessment letter, there is an erosional swale, approximately 300-feet in length, that needs to be stabilized adjacent to S2. Within the proposed conservation easement, the swale will be backfilled with a clay plug at the upstream extent, intermittent hay bale check -dams and fill dirt. The clay plug will be rip -rap lined on the upstream face to diffuse flow entering the proposed easement. The clay plug and stone used to line the clay plug will be placed outside of the NOC credit area within the 20-foot wide space between the easement boundary and the credit area. Within the credit area, the swale will be backfilled with soil and hay bale check -dams to be secured with wooden stakes and plugged with soil and bare root seedlings. The fill dirt will be stabilized with temporary and permanent seeding prior to planting with bare root seedlings. Erosion control matting may be utilized if warranted. Silt fence will be installed along the conservation easement boundary where the swale and other erosional rills enter the easement to prevent sediment deposition from overland flow and protect seeded areas. Silt fence will be removed once vegetation is established and erosion stabilized. Planting rows will be approximately aligned to follow the existing contours to impede overland flow and prevent erosion. Sediment and erosion control measures, including silt fence and matting, may be utilized, if necessary, in all areas with existing rills and unstable banks, as well as areas prone to erosion, to prevent stormwater runoff from entering surface waters during ,' New Farm Nutrient Offset & Buffer Mitigation Plan 12 LCO'Grrc.

Completed activities include: • Plantings have been installed • Easement boundaries are adequately marked • Sediment and erosion control measures are in place to stabilize rills • Bank stabilization measures are installed • Vegetation plots are installed for monitoring �W New Farm Nutrient Offset & Buffer Mitigation Plan 14 eCO, errC. HUC 03020201, Excluding Falls Watershed July 2024 Eco Terra I New Farm Nutrient Offset & Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site • Culvert maintenance and/or removal has been completed (if applicable) Failure to submit written notification within 30 days may result in a modified credit release schedule or a delay in the issuance of credit releases. An as -built report will be submitted to DWR, following the restoration planting, to document the mitigation work plan to date. 5.0 Maintenance and Monitoring Plan The maintenance and monitoring plan has been developed to demonstrate required performance standards and success criteria are met and project goals and objectives are achieved. 5.1 Performance Standards The performance standards for the proposed project follow approved criteria presented in the Buffer Mitigation Rule (15A NCAC 02B .0295). Annual monitoring and semi-annual site visits will be conducted to assess the condition of the finished project. Performance standards will be evaluated throughout the five-year post -construction monitoring period and summarized annually in a monitoring report. This annual report shall provide project data and chronicle issues that arise during the five-year monitoring period. The Sponsor shall submit annual monitoring reports to DWR by December 31 st of each year for at least 5 consecutive years until project close- out and will follow the terms and conditions of the Neuse 01 UMBI. 5.2 Monitoring Permanent vegetation monitoring plots will be established and assessed within the riparian buffer and adjacent riparian areas to document the survival and vigor of the planted trees. A total of 16 plots that are 10 meters (m) by 10 m each will be randomly established within the planted restoration areas to document tree survival (Figure 8). The number of plots represent 2% of the total planted area for credit and is calculated as follows: 2% x 849,506 sqft = 16,990 sgft = 1,578 square meters 1,578 square meters - 10-m x 10-m plot = 16 plots The Buffer Mitigation Rule (15A NCAC 02B .0295) and corresponding UMBI require survival of at least 260 stems per acre at the end of the five-year monitoring period. Measures will be taken to ensure that the site is diverse, where a minimum of four native hardwood tree species are represented throughout the site and that no one species represents more than 50% of the plot. Vegetation monitoring will follow the Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) — NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) Protocol for Recording Vegetation (2008). The vegetation plots will be photographed each year with an additional seven photographs (23 total) taken to document project conditions and easement integrity. The photo -stations will be permanently established and photos will be taken at the same location and orientation each year. At least one of the additional seven photographs will be taken of the stabilized swale to document its stability in the annual monitoring reports. Plots will be demarcated with durable PVC or metal markers and flagging during the monitoring period. ,' New Farm Nutrient Offset & Buffer Mitigation Plan 15 �CO'k rrQ.. HUC 03020201, Excluding Falls Watershed July 2024 Eco Terra I New Farm Nutrient Offset & Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site Visual assessments will be performed twice a year during the five-year monitoring period. Areas of concern, low stem density, invasive species, or easement encroachment, will be mapped, photographed, and described in the monitoring report. Problem areas will be re-evaluated during subsequent site visits. Table 9 summarizes the proposed monitoring plan components associated with this project. QuantityF-IW16%0 Reach Vegetation CVS Level I/Photos All 16 Years 1, 3, 5 Reference Stations Photo Points All 7 Annual Visual Assessments Visual Assessment/Photos All As needed Semi-annual The first growing period will be documented in the first annual report to be completed at least five months after planting has occurred and no earlier than the fall season. Quantitative data for species composition (and planting date) shall be collected and reported for all five consecutive years of monitoring. Specifically, plot data for years 1, 3 and 5, will include individual stem heights along with the average vigor evaluated per plot. Upon DWR approval, desirable native volunteer species may be included in the overall tree density for the Parcel to meet performance standards and success criteria. 5.3 Parcel Maintenance Actions will be taken to correct issues identified in the annual monitoring reports that jeopardize the success of the project such as tree survival and easement encroachment. Parcel maintenance activities will be included in annual reports. As noted in the Parcel Preparation section, effective herbicide application is critical to success of restoration areas, primarily historical agricultural land. Herbicides approved for aquatic environments will be applied as necessary and in accordance with the NC Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (NCDA) rules and regulations by a qualified NC licensed pesticide/herbicide applicator. Prior approval from DWR is required if mowing within Zones 1 and 2 of the Neuse River basin buffers is deemed necessary. 5.4 Parcel Easement Boundary Maintenance Conservation easement boundaries will be clearly marked with fencing, posts, or other permanent material and will include appropriate contact information on the boundaries. Boundary markers and flagging will be installed more frequently along the utility easement boundary to clearly demarcate the credit area from the utility easement. Established boundaries between the easement and the remaining parcel in agriculture will ensure project protection and prevent encroachment. Boundary installation will occur immediately after planting is completed and prior to the as -built survey and the Task 2 Milestone of the Credit Release Schedule/DWR site walk according to the UMBI. Boundary markers incidentally destroyed, damaged or disturbed will be repaired and/or replaced as needed during the monitoring period and in the future under the long-term trustee management. All easement boundaries will be visually assessed twice per year as part of the monitoring protocol. Any easement encroachment or performed maintenance will be documented in the annual monitoring reports. If any encroachments are observed within the conservation easement, the Sponsor will notify DWR promptly, take corrective measures, provide ,' New Farm Nutrient Offset & Buffer Mitigation Plan 16 �CO'k rra HUC 03020201, Excluding Falls Watershed July 2024 Eco Terra I New Farm Nutrient Offset & Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site written notification to the landowner (or third party) and include all information in the monitoring report. 6.0 Financial Assurances 6.1 Performance and Maintenance Bonds Following approval of the NOBMP, the Sponsor shall provide a Performance Bond from a surety that is rated no less than an "A-" by A.M. Best. The performance bond amount shall be 100% of the estimated cost for implementation of the project, but not less than $150,000 to comply with the UMBI. In lieu of posting the performance bond, the Sponsor may elect to construct the project prior to the first credit release. Under the latter option, a performance bond is not necessary. After completion of the restoration/construction, a separate Performance/Maintenance Bond will be secured for 100% of the estimated cost, but not less than $100,000 initially to comply with the UMBI. Upon DWR approval, this may be lowered each year based on the adjusted cost to complete the monitoring. Performance bonds for monitoring shall be renewed at least annually to cover the next year's monitoring period, with confirmation of renewal provided to DWR with each annual monitoring report (when applicable). DWR reserves the right to alter the credit release schedule if monitoring reports are submitted without proof of bond renewals. Refer to Appendix F for SCT's estimate for long-term endowment. 7.0 Determination of Credits and Credit Release 7.1 Credit Potential The potential project credits are based on the top of bank of the two unnamed tributaries (S1, and S2) and agricultural ditch (D2). All areas within 200-linear feet landward of the top of bank will be planted and accounted as either riparian buffer credit or nutrient offset credit with the exception of the area to the east of D3's western top of bank. Non-credit areas that are within the easement but lie outside of the 200-foot width from top of bank are depicted on Figure 7. The entire conservation easement boundary will be planted except for the preservation areas, area to the east and immediately north of D3, and the small non-credit area adjacent to D2. Refer to Figures 7 and 8 for a depiction of the proposed riparian buffer and nutrient offset credit areas and planted area for the Parcel. Riparian restoration adjacent to the streams is primarily intended to be used to generate RBC out to 100 feet and to generate NOC beyond 100 feet in width to a maximum of 200 feet. RBC generated from preservation areas are capped at 25% of the total area of buffer mitigation. The preservation area for the proposed Parcel represents 8.1 % of total buffer mitigation area. Riparian restoration adjacent to the ditches will be used to generate NOC because they are not viable to generate RBC. Credits that could be converted from RBC to NOC if still available are depicted in Table 10. Any credit conversion requests must be submitted to DWR in writing and receive written approval from DWR prior to debiting or crediting credits from the Parcel's credit ledgers. It should be noted the final project area will be delineated and depicted in the As -Built Survey and submitted with the As -Built Report. Therefore, credit totals may change slightly depending on the As -Built Survey.

DWR ID: 2023-0137 Attn: Jordan Burbage (via electronic mail: jordan@ecoterra.com ) Re: Site Viability for Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation – New Farm Site Near 35.220386, -78.192267 near 3000 NC Hwy 55, Mount Olive, NC Neuse 03020201, not in Falls Watershed Wayne County Dear Mr. Burbage, On March 24, 2023, Katie Merritt, with the Division of Water Resources (DWR), received a request from you on behalf of Eco Terra, LLC (Eco Terra) for a site visit near the above-referenced site in the Neuse River Basin within the 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Code 03020201. The site visit was to determine the potential for nutrient offset and buffer mitigation within a proposed conservation easement boundary, which is more accurately depicted in the attached maps labeled “Existing Conditions Map” (Figure 3) prepared by Eco Terra and edited by DWR. DWR also included a Figure 2 to depict additional site characteristics described in the table below. The proposed easement boundaries on Figure 1 include all riparian areas intended to be proposed as part of the mitigation site. On August 8, 2023, Ms. Merritt performed a site assessment of the subject site. Staff with Eco Terra were also present. Ms. Merritt’s evaluation of the features onsite and their associated mitigation determination for the riparian areas are provided in the table below. This evaluation was made from Top of Bank (TOB) and landward 200’ from each feature for buffer mitigation pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295 and for nutrient offset credits pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0703 using 15A NCAC 02B .0295 to define the mitigation type determinations.

Site cannot be a Preservation Only site to comply with this rule. 3NC Division of Water Resources - Methodology and Calculations for determining Nutrient Reductions associated with Riparian Buffer Establishment 4 Determinations made for this Site are determined based on the proposal provided in maps and figures submitted with the request. 5 All features proposed for buffer mitigation or nutrient offset, must have a planted conservation easement established that includes the tops of channel banks when being measured perpendicular and landward from the banks, even if no credit is viable within that riparian area. 6The area of the mitigation site on ephemeral channels shall comprise no more than 25 percent (25%) of the total area of buffer mitigation per 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(7). 7The area described as an Enhancement Site was assessed and determined to comply with all of 15A NCAC 02B .0295(o)(6). Cattle exclusion fencing is required to be installed around the mitigation area to get buffer credit under this part of the rule. 8The confluence of a ditch to a stream is required to be secured with a conservation easement to preserve the hydrologic connectivity of ditches to streams to be viable to generate buffer and/or nutrient offset credits Determinations provided in the table above were made using a proposed easement boundary showing proposed mitigation areas and features shown on Figure 3 as well as Figure 2 prepared by DWR. The figures representing the proposal for the site are attached to this letter and initialed by Ms. Merritt on October 23, 2023. Substantial changes to the proposed easement boundary as well as any site constraints identified in this letter that are not addressed in a riparian restoration plan, could affect the Site’s potential to generate buffer mitigation 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. This viability assessment will expire on October 24, 2025 or upon the submittal of a complete mitigation plan by the DWR, whichever comes first. This letter should be provided in any nutrient offset, buffer, stream or wetland mitigation plan for this Site.

Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list. The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered 10/11/2022   2    species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or designated critical habitat. A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having similar physical impacts) that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2) (c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12. If a Federal agency determines, based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by the proposed project, the agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service recommends that candidate species, proposed species and proposed critical habitat be addressed within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the "Endangered Species Consultation Handbook" at: http://www.fws.gov/endangered/esa-library/pdf/TOC-GLOS.PDF Migratory Birds: In addition to responsibilities to protect threatened and endangered species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), there are additional responsibilities under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) to protect native birds from project-related impacts. Any activity, intentional or unintentional, resulting in take of migratory birds, including eagles, is prohibited unless otherwise permitted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)). For more information regarding these Acts see https://www.fws.gov/birds/policies-and-regulations.php. The MBTA has no provision for allowing take of migratory birds that may be unintentionally killed or injured by otherwise lawful activities. It is the responsibility of the project proponent to comply with these Acts by identifying potential impacts to migratory birds and eagles within applicable NEPA documents (when there is a federal nexus) or a Bird/Eagle Conservation Plan (when there is no federal nexus). Proponents should implement conservation measures to avoid or minimize the production of project-related stressors or minimize the exposure of birds and their resources to the project-related stressors. For more information on avian stressors and recommended conservation measures see https://www.fws.gov/birds/bird-enthusiasts/threats-to- birds.php. In addition to MBTA and BGEPA, Executive Order 13186: Responsibilities of Federal Agencies to Protect Migratory Birds, obligates all Federal agencies that engage in or authorize activities that might affect migratory birds, to minimize those effects and encourage conservation measures that will improve bird populations. Executive Order 13186 provides for the protection of both migratory birds and migratory bird habitat. For information regarding the implementation of Executive Order 13186, please visit https://www.fws.gov/birds/policies-and-regulations/ executive-orders/e0-13186.php. 10/11/2022   3    ▪ ▪ We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project planning to further the purposes of the Act.

Any person or organization who plans or conducts activities that may result in impacts to migratory birds, eagles, and their habitats should follow appropriate regulations and consider implementing appropriate conservation measures, as described below. The Migratory Birds Treaty Act of 1918. The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act of 1940. 50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a) The birds listed below are birds of particular concern either because they occur on the USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) list or warrant special attention in your project location. To learn more about the levels of concern for birds on your list and how this list is generated, see the FAQ below. This is not a list of every bird you may find in this location, nor a guarantee that every bird on this list will be found in your project area. To see exact locations of where birders and the general public have sighted birds in and around your project area, visit the E-bird data mapping tool (Tip: enter your location, desired date range and a species on your list). For projects that occur off the Atlantic Coast, additional maps and models detailing the relative occurrence and abundance of bird species on your list are available. Links to additional information about Atlantic Coast birds, and other important information about your migratory bird list, including how to properly interpret and use your migratory bird report, can be found below. For guidance on when to schedule activities or implement avoidance and minimization measures to reduce impacts to migratory birds on your list, click on the PROBABILITY OF PRESENCE SUMMARY at the top of your list to see when these birds are most likely to be present and breeding in your project area.

This information can be used to tailor and schedule your project activities to avoid or minimize impacts to birds. Please make sure you read and understand the FAQ "Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report" before using or attempting to interpret this report. 1 2 10/11/2022   2    1. 2. 3.  no data survey effort breeding season probability of presence Probability of Presence () Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in the 10km grid cell(s) your project overlaps during a particular week of the year. (A year is represented as 12 4-week months.) A taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. The survey effort (see below) can be used to establish a level of confidence in the presence score. One can have higher confidence in the presence score if the corresponding survey effort is also high. How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps: The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in the week where the species was detected divided by the total number of survey events for that week. For example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and the Spotted Towhee was found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in week 12 is 0.25. To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of presence is calculated. This is the probability of presence divided by the maximum probability of presence across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of presence in week 20 for the Spotted Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week 12 (0.25) is the maximum of any week of the year. The relative probability of presence on week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is 0.05/0.25 = 0.2. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical conversion so that all possible values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the probability of presence score. Breeding Season () Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time-frame inside which the bird breeds across its entire range. If there are no yellow bars shown for a bird, it does not breed in your project area. Survey Effort () Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of surveys performed for that species in the 10km grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The number of surveys is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys. No Data () A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week. Survey Timeframe Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant information. The exception to this is areas off the Atlantic coast, where bird returns are based on all years of available data, since data in these areas is currently much more sparse. 10/11/2022   3    ▪ ▪ ▪ SPECIES JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC American Kestrel BCC - BCR Additional information can be found using the following links: Birds of Conservation Concern https://www.fws.gov/program/migratory-birds/species Measures for avoiding and minimizing impacts to birds https://www.fws.gov/library/ collections/avoiding-and-minimizing-incidental-take-migratory-birds Nationwide conservation measures for birds https://www.fws.gov/sites/default/files/ documents/nationwide-standard-conservation-measures.pdf Migratory Birds FAQ Tell me more about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds. Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize impacts to all birds at any location year round. Implementation of these measures is particularly important when birds are most likely to occur in the project area. When birds may be breeding in the area, identifying the locations of any active nests and avoiding their destruction is a very helpful impact minimization measure. To see when birds are most likely to occur and be breeding in your project area, view the Probability of Presence Summary. Additional measures or permits may be advisable depending on the type of activity you are conducting and the type of infrastructure or bird species present on your project site. What does IPaC use to generate the list of migratory birds that potentially occur in my specified location? The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) and other species that may warrant special attention in your project location. The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as occurring in the 10km grid cell(s) which your project intersects, and that have been identified as warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Act requirements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to offshore activities or development. Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your project area. It is not representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list of all birds potentially present in your project area, please visit the Rapid Avian Information Locator (RAIL) Tool. What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location? 10/11/2022   4    1. 2. 3. The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). This data is derived from a growing collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets. Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information becomes available. To learn more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and how to interpret them, go the Probability of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me about these graphs" link. How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering or migrating in my area? To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding, wintering, migrating or year-round), you may query your location using the RAIL Tool and look at the range maps provided for birds in your area at the bottom of the profiles provided for each bird in your results. If a bird on your migratory bird species list has a breeding season associated with it, if that bird does occur in your project area, there may be nests present at some point within the timeframe specified. If "Breeds elsewhere" is indicated, then the bird likely does not breed in your project area. What are the levels of concern for migratory birds? Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern: "BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) that are of concern throughout their range anywhere within the USA (including Hawaii, the Pacific Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands); "BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) in the continental USA; and "Non-BCC - Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on your list either because of the Eagle Act requirements (for eagles) or (for non-eagles) potential susceptibilities in offshore areas from certain types of development or activities (e.g. offshore energy development or longline fishing). Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made, in particular, to avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC species of rangewide concern. For more information on conservation measures you can implement to help avoid and minimize migratory bird impacts and requirements for eagles, please see the FAQs for these topics. Details about birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species and groups of bird species within your project area off the Atlantic Coast, please visit the Northeast Ocean Data Portal. The Portal also offers data and information about other taxa besides birds that may be helpful to you in your project review. Alternately, you may download the bird model results files underlying the portal maps through the NOAA NCCOS Integrative Statistical Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf project webpage. 10/11/2022   5    Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use throughout the year, including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this information. For additional information on marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Study and the nanotag studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam Loring. What if I have eagles on my list? If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid violating the Eagle Act should such impacts occur. Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of birds of priority concern. To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for identifying what other birds may be in your project area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location". Please be aware this report provides the "probability of presence" of birds within the 10 km grid cell(s) that overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look carefully at the survey effort (indicated by the black vertical bar) and for the existence of the "no data" indicator (a red horizontal bar). A high survey effort is the key component. If the survey effort is high, then the probability of presence score can be viewed as more dependable. In contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and, therefore, a lack of certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting point for identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might be there, and if they might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps you know what to look for to confirm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement conservation measures to avoid or minimize potential impacts from your project activities, should presence be confirmed. To learn more about conservation measures, visit the FAQ "Tell me about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds" at the bottom of your migratory bird trust resources page. 10/11/2022   6    IPaC User Contact Information Agency:McAdams Name:Kerry Bray Address:621 Hillsborough St Address Line 2:Suite 500 City:Raleigh State:NC Zip:27603 Email bray@mcadamsco.com Phone:9192870812 NCNHDE-19616 October 12, 2022 Kerry Bray McAdams 621 Hillsborough St Raleigh, NC 27603 RE: McClenny Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site Dear Kerry Bray: The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above. Based on the project area mapped with your request, a query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have been surveyed. The results of this query should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our records. The attached ‘Potential Occurrences’ table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have been documented within a one-mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one-mile radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report. If a Federally-listed species is found within the project area or is indicated within a one-mile radius of the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here: https://www.fws.gov/offices/Directory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37.

The project information is summarized below. Project Name: New Farm Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site Project Location: Hwy 55, Grantham NC Wayne County 35°13'13.39"N 78°11'32.16"W Project Contact: Jordan Burbage Eco Terra, LLC 117 Centrewest Court Cary, NC 27513 919.922.9508 jordan@ecoterra.com Project Description: The New Farm Nutrient Offset & Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site (Parcel or project area) is located near Mount Olive, NC, in the Thunder Swamp-Thoroughfare Swamp watershed of the Neuse River Basin (HUC 03020201). The proposed project will provide riparian buffer and nutrient offset mitigation in the Neuse River Basin. The project involves the restoration and preservation of riparian buffers along three unnamed tributaries and one ditch that flow to Thoroughfare Swamp. Land disturbing activities include site preparation for planting trees to enhance the vegetative buffer up to 200 feet from the streams and ditches within the approximate 26.48-acre Parcel. The project 117 Centrewest Ct, Cary, NC 27513 | EcoTerra.com area and surrounding areas are open agricultural land, primarily farmed for row crops. Historical land use has been agriculture for the past 70 years according to historical USDA aerials. The Parcel will be permanently protected and preserved with a conservation easement that will ultimately be transferred to a land trust for long-term stewardship. The NC State Historic Preservation Office's online mapping resource was reviewed to determine the presence of known historic resources at or near the project area. According to the database, there are no known historical resources within the Parcel. Three features were found within a mile of the project area. The Marshall Kornegay House and Cemetery (SP0530) are located 0.56 miles from the Parcel and are classified as “National Register” sites. Odom Mill Crossroads (WY0653) is located 0.61 miles from the project area and is classified as a “Surveyed Area, No designation” site. An unnamed house (WY0652) is located 0.77 miles from the Parcel. These sites will not be disturbed for the proposed project and are classified as “Surveyed Only” areas. Project Area Map: See attached Figures 1 and 2 Site Photographs: See attached We are requesting that you review the project area to determine if any historic resources are present within the proposed conservation easement as shown in the attached Figures 1 and 2.

The list contains data on potentially hazardous waste sites that have been reported to the USEPA by states, municipalities, private companies and private persons, pursuant to Section 103 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA).

The list was formerly known as the CERCLIS-NFRAP, renamed to SEMS ARCHIVE by the EPA in 2015. EPA may perform a minimal level of assessment work at a site while it is archived if site conditions change and/or new information becomes available. Archived sites have been removed and archived from the inventory of SEMS sites. Archived status indicates that, to the best of EPA’s knowledge, assessment at a site has been completed and that EPA has determined no further steps will be taken to list the site on the National Priorities List (NPL), unless information indicates this decision was not appropriate or other considerations require a recommendation for listing at a later time. The decision does not necessarily mean that there is no hazard associated with a given site; it only means that. based upon available information, the location is not judged to be potential NPL site.

Manufactured gas sites were used in the United States from the 1800’s to 1950’s to produce a gas that could be distributed and used as fuel. These plants used whale oil, rosin, coal, or a mixture of coal, oil, and water that also produced a significant amount of waste. Many of the byproducts of the gas production, such as coal tar (oily waste containing volatile and non-volatile chemicals), sludges, oils and other compounds are potentially hazardous to human health and the environment. The byproduct from this process was frequently disposed of directly at the plant site and can remain or spread slowly, serving as a continuous source of soil and groundwater contamination.
