1.0 Introduction
1.1 Project Location and Description
The Neuse buffer and nutrient offset mitigation site currently known as the Hatley Bank Site
(hereafter referred to as the Bank Site) is located at 888 John Rogers Road, in Hurdle Mills,
North Carolina. The Bank Site is located in the Flat River Township in the south central
section of Person County, North Carolina, approximately 8.6 miles southwest of the City of
Roxboro, North Carolina, and approximately 14 miles northeast of the Town of Hillsborough
(Figure 1). More specifically, the Site is located at the southwest corner of the intersection of
John Rogers Road and Terry Road and approximately 0. 15 miles west of the intersection of
John Rogers Road and Berry Pearce Road.
The Bank Site is being developed in two (2) phases: Phase 1 and Phase 2. Figures 2.1
through 2.4 (Appendix A) depict Phase 1. Phase 1 consists of 16.34 acres and is located
along the western, southern, and eastern portions of the Bank Site. Phase 2 consists of + 3.97
acres and is located on the northwestern portion of the Bank Site. Figure 2A (Appendix A) is
provided to illustrate the constructed Phase I Conservation Easement compared to the
approved Hatley Bank Site Bank Parcel Development Package (EcoEngineering, October
2012). Future construction within the Bank Site will be consistent with the previously
approved Bank Parcel Development Package (BPDP).
The purpose of this Bank Site is to improve water quality within the Neuse River watershed,
specifically the Falls Lake watershed, by providing off-site mitigation for development (both
existing and proposed) requiring stream buffer mitigation and nutrient offset credits. The
Conservation Easement (CE) for Phase I of the Bank Site is 16.34 acres (711,770.4 sf).
Within the 16.34 -acre CE, the total area dedicated to Neuse Riparian Buffer Credits is 8.3
acres (361,549 sf) and the total area dedicated to Nutrient Offset (nitrogen and phosphorus)
Credits is 7.38 acres (321,473 sf).
The Bank Site is located within the Upper Falls Lake watershed in the Neuse River Basin (8 -
digit USGS HUC 03020201, 12 -digit USGS HUC 030202010102), more specifically within
Neuse Sub -basin 03-04-01. Stormwater runoff from this site drains into South Flat River
(Stream Index #27-3-3) and into two of its unnamed tributaries. According to the Basinwide
Information Management System (BIMS), South Flat River is classified as Water Supply III
(WS -III) and NSW (Nutrient Sensitive Waters).
This Bank Site will be established under the terms and conditions of the EBX Upper Neuse
Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Umbrella Mitigation Bank (Bank), signed on February
10, 2012, made and entered into by Environmental Banc and Exchange, LLC (EBX), acting
as the Bank Sponsor (Sponsor), and the North Carolina Department of Environment and
Natural Resources - Division of Water Quality (DWQ). The Division of Water Quality is
now hereby referred to as Division of Water Resources (DWR).
1.2 Project Goals and Objectives
The goals of this nutrient offset mitigation project are to:
- Improve the overall water quality and aquatic habitat in and around the unnamed
tributary of the Neuse River by reducing nutrient and sediment loads into the streams
caused by agricultural influences,
- Improve the richness and diversity of the plant species within the conservation
easement, and
Provide perpetual protection for the unnamed tributary to the Neuse River and
associated riparian and upland buffers
These goals will be met through the following objectives:
- By establishing a native plant community to match the endemic plant species at the
Bank Site,
- By reducing the quantities of exotic invasive species at the Bank Site through
chemical methods,
- By establishing a conservation easement to provide long-term protection for the Bank
Site, and
- By donation of the conservation easement and all of its interests, in perpetuity, to an
accredited or approved land trust or stewardship program.
2.0 Vegetation Condition and Comparison
Current stem counts (i.e. stem is defined as a single living tree) were calculated using vegetation
plot monitoring data. Within Neuse buffer and nutrient offset restoration areas, success will be
defined as the survival of a minimum density of 320 planted trees per acre after five (5) years.
Within Neuse buffer enhancement areas, success criteria will be based on a minimum of at least
two tree species at an average density of 320 planted trees per acre following five (5) years of
monitoring. As of Monitoring Year 4, the Bank Parcel had four (4) plots encompassing 0.0988
acres, containing 73 planted stems, which yielded a density of 739 planted stems per acre.
Monitoring Year 4 field activities were conducted on September 23, 2016. The planted
vegetation survival threshold was met for all four plots. Summary tables of the data collected are
provided in Appendix B.
3.0 Methodology
3.1 Vegetation Monitoring Plots
Baseline vegetation monitoring was conducted in accordance to CVS-EEP Protocol for
Recording Vegetation (CVS-EEP, v4.2). All monitoring methodologies follow the most current
templates and guidelines provided by NC DMS (EEP, 2010; EEP, 2011). All four (4) vegetation
plots installed by McAdams were located in Monitoring Year 4. Figures 3.1 through 3.4
(Appendix A) depict the locations of the vegetation plots. Table 1 (Appendix B) provides a
success summary for each vegetation monitoring plot. Based on the vegetation monitoring, all
four (4) of the vegetation monitoring plots were above the five-year monitoring period
requirement. Table 2 (Appendix B) provides a stem count total and planted stem total by each
individual vegetation plot. Table 3 (Appendix B) provides a summary of only planted stem
counts as compared to planted stem counts of the As -Built.
During Monitoring Year 3 field investigations, it was determined that Vegetation Plot 3 again
did not meet the vegetation threshold of 320 trees per acre. Replanting within the area of
Vegetation Plot 3 was conducted during the month of April 2016. Vegetation Plot 3 exceeded the
vegetation monitoring threshold in Monitoring Year 4 with 688 stems per acre.
Vegetation monitoring plots were photographed and are located in Appendix C. Vegetation
Monitoring Plot Data Sheets are provided in Appendix D. Each Vegetation Monitoring Plot
Data Sheet provides measurements, location, and vigor of each planted species within a
respective vegetation monitoring plot.

3.2 Photo Stations
Photo documentation is essential to monitoring the success the Bank Parcel. Photos provide a
visual assessment of the vegetation conditions. All four (4) photo stations installed by McAdams
were located in Monitoring Year 4. Figures 3.1 through 3.4 (Appendix A) depict the locations of
the photo stations. Photographs were taken at high resolution using an Olympus FE -115 5.0
megapixel digital camera. The locations of the photo stations are depicted in the Monitoring
Year 4 Exhibit (Appendix A, Figure 2). Photographs for the photo stations are located in
Appendix E.

Note: The difference between planted stems from the As Built and Monitoring Year 4 is due to species which were deemed "missing" or "dead" at the
time of monitoring. One possible explanation for "missing" species is due to thick herbaceous growth obscurring the species from identification during
Monitoring Year 4. Therefore, it is possilbe "missing" species could grow larger than the herbaceous layer and allow for their identification and
measurment in subsequent monitoring years. In addition, species which were deemed "dead" could survive in subsequent years because the species may
have gone dormant at the time of monitoring while the roots of the species are surviving below ground. Therefore, in subsequent years the species could
grow under more favorable conditions.

Denotes "Missing". Stem may be missing because of thick herbaceous layer and therefore not visible at
the time of monitoring. Stem should be searched for at location during subsequent Monitoring Years
because the stem may grow above herbaceous layer.
Denotes "Dead". Stem should still be searched for at location during subsequent Monitoring Years
because the roots of the stem may survive and therefore re -sprout in subsequent Monitoring Years.

Denotes "Missing". Stem may be missing because of thick herbaceous layer and therefore not visible at
the time of monitoring. Stem should be searched for at location during subsequent Monitoring Years
because the stem may grow above herbaceous layer.
Denotes "Dead". Stem should still be searched for at location during subsequent Monitoring Years
because the roots of the stem may survive and therefore re -sprout in subsequent Monitoring Years.
