I INTRODUCTION
1.1 Project Description
Environmental Banc & Exchange, LLC ("EBX"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Resource Environmental
Solutions ("RES"), is pleased to propose the RES French Broad Umbrella Mitigation Bank (the "Bank").
The proposed umbrella structure of the Bank is designed to initially permit one mitigation site, and establish
the umbrella banking instrument for future mitigation sites. The first site is the Carolina Bison Stream
Mitigation Site (the "Site"), and is identified as having potential to help meet the compensatory mitigation
requirement for cool stream impacts in hydrologic unit 06010105 of the French Broad River Basin.
The Site is located approximately two miles northeast of Leicester in Buncombe County. RES has entered
into contracts for approximately nine acres of conservation easement. The Site will involve the restoration
of unnamed tributaries to Parker Branch and restoration on Parker Branch.
As described in the following prospectus, the Site will result in significant water quality improvements
including:
• Decreased non -point source pollution,
• Decreased in -stream sediment contribution, and
• Improved hydrologic function.
The Site will provide uplift for ecological functions, including:
• Improved aquatic habitat diversity,
• Invasive species treatment, and
• Wildlife corridor enhancement and preservation.
The Site will restore and protect an important aquatic resource and wildlife corridor while also
accommodating existing agricultural land uses.
1.2 Project Location
The Site is located in Buncombe County approximately two miles northeast of Leicester, NC and eight
miles northwest of Asheville (Figure 1). The GPS coordinates of the site are 35.671107°N and
82.669235°W. The Site can be accessed from Ridgeview Road. The Site area is comprised of a unique
agricultural expanse of land and will involve the restoration of two unnamed tributaries and Parker Branch
(Figure 2). Stream restoration is proposed to increase hydrologic and ecological function and protect these
features in perpetuity.
1.3 Service Area
The Site will provide mitigation credits to offset unavoidable impacts to cool stream resources within the
French Broad 05 River Basin (8 -digit USGS HUC 06010105).
The Site is located in the Newfound Creek Watershed (06010105090020). The proposed mitigation site
will restore and protect a catchment within the Newfound watershed, which discharges directly into the
French Broad River. The Site's watershed is primarily agricultural land and has historically served this
Carolina Bison Mitigation Site PROSPECTUS
RES French Broad Umbrella Bank 1 November 2016

purpose (Figure 3). The Site supports many of the French Broad River Basin Restoration Priorities (RBRP)
goals and presents an opportunity to restore 5,194 linear feet of cool water stream and riparian corridor.
The proposed Site will provide numerous ecological and water quality benefits within the French Broad
River Basin. These benefits are not limited to the project area, but have more far-reaching effects throughout
the French Broad River Basin.
1.4 Identified Watershed Needs
The North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) develops River Basin Restoration Priorities to
guide its restoration activities within each of the state's 54 cataloging units. The Site supports all of the
French Broad River Basin Restoration Priorities (RBRP) goals and presents an opportunity to restore 5,194
linear feet of stream and riparian corridor generating 5,194 Stream Mitigation Units (SMUs). The Site will
provide improvements to water quality, hydrologic function, and habitat.
As stated in the French Broad RBRP report (2009), the following restoration and protection goals are listed
for the watershed:
1) Implement wetland and stream restoration projects that reduce sources of sediment and nutrients
by restoring riparian buffer vegetation, stabilizing banks, excluding livestock, and restoring
natural geomorphology, especially in headwater streams.
2) Restore and protect habitat for priority fish, mussel, snail, and crayfish species in the basin.
3) Cooperate with land trusts and resource agencies to help leverage federal and state grant funding
for watershed restoration and conservation efforts.
4) Work with local partners to improve management of stormwater runoff, controlling both
stormwater volume and pollutants, and promote low impact development techniques to lessen
impacts of new development, especially in the expanding areas of Asheville, Black Mountain,
Fletcher, and Hendersonville.
5) Protect high quality habitats, especially those prioritized by the Natural Heritage Program as
Significant Natural Heritage Areas.
The proposed Bank is designed to help meet these goals. The projects will address stressors identified in
the watershed through nutrient removal, sediment removal, runoff filtration, and improved aquatic and
terrestrial habitat. These project goals will be achieved through stream restoration.
1.5 Purpose and Objectives
The purpose of the proposed Site is to generate compensatory mitigation credits for inclusion in the RES
French Broad Umbrella Mitigation Bank in hydrologic unit 06010105 of the French Broad River Basin.
The project goals address stressors identified in the watershed, and include the following:
• Nutrient removal,
• Sediment removal,
• Invasive species removal,
• Filtration of runoff,
• Wildlife corridor enhancement and preservation, and
• Improved aquatic and terrestrial habitat.
Carolina Bison Mitigation Site PROSPECTUS
RES French Broad Umbrella Bank 2 November 2016

The project goals will be addressed through the following project objectives:
• Elimination and control of exotic invasive species,
• Restoration of riparian forested stream buffers
• Stabilization of eroding stream banks due to lack of vegetation,
• Addition of large woody debris such as log vanes, log weirs, and root wads, and
• Restoration of appropriate pattern, dimension, and profile in stream channels.
1.6 Technical Feasibility
The technical feasibility of the Site is supported by EBX's extensive experience with stream and wetland
restoration and enhancement in North Carolina and throughout the Southeast. Further preliminary survey,
investigations, and design has been performed to ensure the feasibility of the proposed project. The absence
of fatal flaws such as hydrologic trespass, historic/cultural resources, and protected species means the
project is unlikely to be impeded by resource issues, or by objections from adjacent landowners.
1.7 Site Ownership
The land required for the construction, management, and stewardship of this mitigation project includes
portions of the parcels listed in Table 1. RES/EBX has control of the Site's easement options for the parcels
in Table 1.

3 EXISTING CONDITIONS
3.1 Existing Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S.
Detailed wetland delineation has not been performed. Preliminary site assessments have not identified any
potential wetland areas. The Site will be delineated and approved by the USACE during the Mitigation Plan
phase of the project. The stream channels were classified using North Carolina Division of Water Resources
(NC DWR) methodology.
National Wetland Inventory (NWI) mapping does not depict wetlands in the Project area (Figure 4).
Potential wetland areas in the project corridor will be delineated during the mitigation plan phase of the
project and the stream design will avoid and minimize impacts.
3.2 Soil Survey
3.2.1 General Soil Characteristics
The Site is located in the Blue Ridge Belt Physiographic Province. Existing soil information from the
Natural Resource Conservation Service (MRCS) shows the property is located within the Evard-Cowee-
Tate soil association. This association is found on ridges and south -to -west -facing hillslopes and mountain
slopes. It is made up of well drained to moderately well drained soils on uplands. Evard-Cowee-Tate soil
association is generally characterized by intermountain hills and low or intermediate mountains, dominantly
in the north -central, southeastern, and southwestern parts of the county (Figure 5).
3.2.2 Site Mapped Soil Series
Site soils are mapped by the NRCS as French loam, Tate loam, and Unison loam on the low lying
depressions and floodplain at the Site. Tate loam and Unison loam soils are generally well drained soils
and range from two to 15 percent slopes and zero to three percent slopes respectively. French loam soils
are somewhat poorly drained, normally found in flood plains with zero to three percent slopes.
The surrounding upland soils are mapped as Clifton clay loam and Evard-Cowee complex. Clifton clay
loam soils are well drained and generally found on ridges. Slopes range from eight to 15 and 15 to 30
percent throughout different parts of the area of interest. Evard-Cowee complex soils are well drained and
generally found on mountain slopes and ridges of uplands. Slopes range from 30 to 50 percent.
3.3 Endangered/Threatened Species
The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) database (accessed 27 May 2016) lists five endangered species
for Buncombe County, North Carolina: Spruce -fir moss spider (Microhexura montivaga), Spreading avens
(Geum radiatum), Rock gnome lichen (Gymnoderma lineare), Gray bat (Myotis grisescens), and Carolina
northern flying squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus coloratus). The USFWS database also lists two threatened
species for the County: Northern Long- Eared Bat (Myotis septentrionalis) and Bog turtle (Clemmys
muhlenbergii). No protected species or potential habitat for protected species was observed during
preliminary site evaluations.
In addition to the USFWS database, the NC Natural Heritage Program (NHP) GIS database was consulted
to determine whether previously cataloged occurrences of protected species are mapped within one mile of
the project site. Results from NHP indicated that there are known occurrences of the gray bat, Eastern small -

RES French Broad Umbrella Bank 5 November 2016

footed myotic, and Least weasel within a one -mile radius of the project area and throughout Buncombe
County. Based on initial site investigations, no impacts to federally protected species are anticipated as a
result of the proposed project. The environmental screening phase of the project will include USFWS
coordination to confirm these findings.
3.4 Vegetation
Current land use around the Site is primarily pasture and disturbed riparian forest. Forested riparian areas
are primarily a narrow fringe with common canopy species including black walnut (Juglans nigra), red
maple (Acer rubrum), black cherry (Prunus serotina), American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), and
black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia). Sub -canopy species include Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense),
greenbriar (Smilax sp), muscadine (Vitus rotundifolia), and black willow (Salix nigra). Outside of the
narrow forested fringe the herbaceous community is highly disturbed due to overgrazing and erosion. Some
exotics were noted, including Chinese privet.
3.5 Cultural Resources
A review of North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) GIS Web Service (accessed 27 May
2016) database did not reveal any listed or potentially eligible historic or archeological resources on the
proposed project properties. There are no anticipated impacts from project activities to state surveyed
properties as there are none in the proposed project vicinity. The environmental screening phase of the
project will include SHPO coordination to confirm these findings.
3.6 Constraints
There are no significant constraints to the proposed Project. The Project site is not located within five miles
of an air transport facility. The Project is not within a mapped FEMA 100 -year floodplain (Figure 6). There
is a powerline easement at the top of UTI. Seven existing agricultural crossings will be improved or
constructed to facilitate existing surrounding agricultural land use. A tree survey will be conducted to design
the mitigation measures and access to minimize impacts to significant specimen trees.
4 PROPOSED BANK CONDITIONS
4.1 Conceptual Mitigation Plan
The proposed Site will provide numerous ecological and water quality benefits within the French Broad
River Basin. The Site presents the opportunity to provide up to 5,194 SMUs. These will be derived from
Restoration. Table 2 details the mitigation types and SMUs generated. The proposed conceptual design
plan is shown in Figure 7.

4.1.1 Project Development
A key design consideration for the Site is ensuring the restored channels achieve maximum functional uplift
while allowing the existing agricultural land uses to continue. All restoration practices will be designed and
implemented to accommodate current and future flow conditions.
Stream restoration efforts will be accomplished through analyses of geomorphic conditions and watershed
characteristics. The design approach will apply a combination of analytical and reference reach based
design methods that meet objectives commensurate with both ecological and geomorphic improvements.
The objective of this approach is to design a geomorphically stable channel that provides maximum
functional improvements with minimal intervention. The individual Reach Worksheets provide detailed
information for each reach and rationale for proposed work.
The Site's riparian planting design will achieve the following goals: filter existing or potential runoff,
provide channel and soil stability, and improve terrestrial wildlife habitat. The first step to developing the
vegetation plan will be a comprehensive vegetation and tree survey as a component of the overall data
collection. This will identify and map invasive species treatment areas, specimen trees for protection, likely
seed sources and successional communities, and potential trees to use for construction materials. RES will
perform all invasive exotic vegetation treatment. Treatments may include herbicide applications and/or
mechanical control.
4.1.2 Watershed and Channel Assessments
The watershed and channel assessments will be performed jointly by qualified scientists, designers, and
engineers, and will begin immediately following contract award and the initial Interagency Review Team
(IRT) site visit. Existing data will be compiled and evaluated to summarize watershed conditions including:
physiography, topography, and relief; geology; hydrography; precipitation; flood frequency; land use; and
chemical, physical and biological water quality. Compiled data and existing conditions evaluation results
will be manipulated to evaluate and identify water quality degradation causes and sources.
Following data analysis and watershed assessment, the project team will perform a detailed channel
assessment on each reach to identify specific opportunities for restoration and enhancement. The project
reaches will be scored with a custom stability assessment methodology and professional judgment. This
will allow for objective prioritization of restoration activities.
Reaches identified for restoration will be those that exhibit systemic significantly impaired habitat and
stability and are in an early phase of the channel evolution continuum. Without significant intervention,
restoration reaches are expected to continue to degrade before reaching equilibrium. Priority I restoration
is expected on most restoration reaches, although limited use of Priority II may be required to tie-in with
existing bed elevations.
The RES Team will also evaluate potential BMP retrofit sites and ephemeral channel
stabilization/restoration. The BMP evaluations will be focused on treating adjacent run-off from roads,
developed areas, agricultural land, and other potential point sources
An internal watershed plan will be developed based on the findings of the above tasks. This will include
development of a final prioritized list of mitigation treatments (including BMPs and ephemeral channels).
The watershed plan will be the foundation and guiding document for the mitigation plan and design.
Carolina Bison Mitigation Site PROSPECTUS
RES French Broad Umbrella Bank 7 November 2016

4.1.3 Stream Mitigation Approach
Stream restoration efforts will be accomplished through analyses of geomorphic conditions and watershed
characteristics. The design approach will apply a combination of analytical and reference reach based
design methods that meet objectives commensurate with both ecological and geomorphic improvements.
Proposed treatment activities may range from minor bank grading and planting to re-establishing stable
planform and hydraulic geometry. For reaches requiring full restoration, natural design concepts will be
applied and verified through rigorous engineering analyses and modeling. The objective of this approach is
to design a geomorphically stable channel that provides habitat improvements and ties into the existing
landscape.
The Site will include Priority Level I stream restoration. Priority Level I stream restoration will incorporate
the design of a single -thread meandering channel, with parameters based on data taken from reference sites
to be identified later, published empirical relationships, regional curves developed from existing project
streams, and NC Regional Curves.
Design parameters, including active channel, habitat and floodplain features will be developed from
analysis of suitable reference streams. Analytical design techniques will be an important element of the
project and will be used to determine the design discharge and to verify the design as a whole. A detailed
approach for each reach is in the Individual Reach worksheets and the channel conditions can be found in
Figure 8.
Engineering analysis will be performed using various hydrologic and hydraulic models to verify the
reference reach based design. A combination of methods will be used to estimate bankfull flows and flows
corresponding to other significant storm events. A HEC -RAS model will then be used to simulate water
surface elevations of flows generated by the hydrologic analysis. The development of the HEC -RAS models
is an important component to the design; therefore, model input parameters are field verified when possible.
Through this hydrologic analysis, the design discharge (typically referenced as bankfull or dominant
discharge) will be determined. The subsequent design will be based on this calculated discharge. Design
parameters developed through the analyses of reference reach data and hydrologic and hydraulic modeling
will be confirmed using the Stable Channel Design function and/or the Sediment Transport Analysis
components within HEC -RAS.
Engineering analyses are performed concurrently with geomorphic and habitat studies. While stream design
will be verified by simulations of hydrology and fluvial processes, analogs of desirable habitat features will
be derived from reference sites and integrated into the project design. Both in -stream and riparian habitat
features will be designed. In -stream structures will be used throughout the project to act as grade control
and for bank stabilization by dissipating and redirecting the stream's energy. Bank stability may further be
enhanced through the installation of brush mattresses, live stakes and cuttings bundles.
Sections of abandoned stream channel will be backfilled with material excavated from onsite to the
elevation of the floodplain in areas adjacent to the new channel, installing channel plugs where necessary.
The floodplain will be planted with native species creating a vegetated buffer, which will provide numerous
water quality and ecological benefits. Stream banks will be stabilized using a combination of grading,
erosion control matting, bare -root plantings, native material revetment techniques (i.e., bioengineering),
structure placement, and sod transplants where possible. The stream and adjacent riparian areas will be
Carolina Bison Mitigation Site PROSPECTUS
RES French Broad Umbrella Bank 8 November 2016

protected by a minimum 30 -foot conservation easement which will be fenced to exclude livestock as
needed.
4.1.4 Site Preparation and Stabilization
Immediately following completion of construction activities on a stream segment, disturbed areas will be
stabilized to prevent erosion. If possible, topsoil will be stockpiled and re-applied to provide a favorable
seed bed. To provide a rapid herbaceous cover, planting of a temporary seed mix will be required. Areas of
compacted soil will be ripped and disked prior to seed mix application and tree planting. Soil amendments
will be provided as needed based on the results of soil fertility tests.
4.1.5 Riparian Vegetation
The riparian planting design will achieve the following goals: filter existing or potential runoff, provide
channel and soil stability, and improve terrestrial wildlife habitat. The first step to developing the vegetation
plan will be a comprehensive vegetation and tree survey as a component of the overall data collection. This
will identify and map invasive species treatment areas, specimen trees for protection, likely seed sources
and successional communities, and potential trees to use for construction materials.
The Site is diverse with existing forested riparian area, impoundments, and utility easement. Some of the
variables affecting the vegetation design are soils, slope, compaction, and existing adjacent mature trees.
The final planting design will be flexible and based on likely natural recruitment sources. Specific planting
zones are described below.
Agricultural Edge — The project will include planting areas with no existing tree canopy; primarily existing
open area, but could also include larger areas disturbed from channel construction. These areas will be
planted with two separate strategies as dictated by site conditions. Open areas adjacent to existing fields
will be planted with fast growing species to quickly establish a tree dominant community and maximize
nutrient uptake. Species selection will include those present in the watershed and/or based on Weakley's
Natural Communities of North Carolina (1990). A potential planting mix may include sycamore, tulip
poplar (Liriodenron tulipera), willow oak (Quercus phellos) and red maple; all of which are fast-growing
species and readily available. Rather than planting these in a designated riparian corridor of a fixed width
from the center of the channel, any open area of the conservation easement adjacent to active agricultural
fields would be planted with these species to maximize uptake. Additionally, specific placement of
individual species can be based on a hydrologic continuum and soil preferences.
Canopy Under -Planting — Portions of the channel construction on the Site will take place under existing
tree canopy. These reaches have little existing understory due to intermittent cattle grazing or other
disturbance. Planting shade -tolerant sub -dominant species such as flowering dogwood and viburnum
(Viburnum spp.) will improve the project aesthetics and supply soft mast food source for small wildlife
species. More shade tolerant and hard mast producing tree species such as Northern red oak (Quercus rubra)
and shagbark hickory (Carya ovata) will be planted in gaps created by construction activities.
Natural Regeneration Management — An alternative to traditional riparian plantings is utilizing existing
seed sources and seed producers. Planning for natural seedling recruitment will be based on ground -
disturbing construction dates, adjacent seed sources, and the seed crop on those trees during the project.
Following the third growing season post construction, desirable tree species could be "released" from

competition with less desirable species via either chemical or mechanical means. For example, cutting
sweetgum and loblolly pine seedlings where they might be crowding oak (Quercus spp.) or tulip poplar
seedlings.

Carolina Bison Mitigation Site PROSPECTUS
RES French Broad Umbrella Bank 13 November 2016

4.1.6 Monitoring
Stream stability and vegetation survival will be monitored across the restoration areas of the site to
determine the success of the stream mitigation. Stream stability will be monitored with cross section surveys
and visual assessment stream walks. Vegetation survival rates will be monitored using vegetation plots over
approximately two percent of the planted area.
4.1.6.1 As -Built Survey
An as -built survey will be conducted following construction to document channel size, condition, and
location on constructed or modified channels. The survey will include a complete profile of thalweg, water
surface, bankfull, and top of bank to compare with future geomorphic data. Longitudinal profiles will not
be required in annual monitoring reports unless requested by the IRT.
4.1.6.2 Visual Monitoring
Visual monitoring of all mitigation areas will be conducted a minimum of twice per monitoring year by
qualified individuals. A Current Conditions Plan View (CCPV) and associated tables will be submitted
every monitoring year in the annual monitoring report. The Current Condition Plan View (CCPV) provides
the spatial distributions and qualitative performance ratings for certain monitoring features. Visual
assessments will include vegetation density, vigor, invasive species, and easement encroachments. Visual
assessments of stream stability will include a complete stream walk and structure inspection. Digital images
will be recorded at fixed representative locations during each monitoring event, as well as at any noted
problem areas or areas of concern. Results of visual monitoring will be presented in a plan view exhibit
with a brief description of problem areas and digital images. Photographs will be used to subjectively
evaluate channel aggradation or degradation, bank erosion, success of riparian vegetation and effectiveness
of erosion control measures. Longitudinal photos should indicate the absence of developing bars within the
channel or an excessive increase in channel depth. Lateral photos should not indicate excessive erosion or
continuing degradation of the banks over time. A series of photos over time should indicate successional
maturation of riparian vegetation.
4.1.6.3 Cross Sections
Permanent cross-sections will be installed at a minimum of one per 20 bankfull widths with half in pools
and half in riffles. All cross-section measurements will include bank height ratio and entrenchment ratio.
Cross-sections will be monitored annually. There should be little change in as -built cross-sections. If
changes do take place, they should be evaluated to determine if they represent movement toward a less
stable condition (for example down -cutting or erosion), or are minor changes that represent an increase in
stability (for example settling, vegetative changes, deposition along the banks, or decrease in width/depth
ratio). Bank height ratio shall not exceed 1.2, and the entrenchment ratio shall be no less than 2.2 within
restored reaches. Channel stability should be demonstrated through a minimum of two bankfull events
documented in the seven-year monitoring period.
4.1.6.4 Vegetative Success Criteria
Vegetation monitoring plots will be a minimum of 0.02 acres in size, and cover approximately two percent
of the planted area. The following data will be recorded for all trees in the plots: species, height, planting
date (or volunteer), and grid location. Monitoring will occur each year during the monitoring period. The
Carolina Bison Mitigation Site PROSPECTUS
RES French Broad Umbrella Bank 14 November 2016

interim measures of vegetative success for the Site will be the survival of at least 320 planted three-year
old trees per acre at the end of Year 3 and 260 five-year old trees per acre at the end of Year 5. The final
vegetative success criteria will be the survival of 210 trees per acre with an average height of 10 feet at the
end of Year 7 of the monitoring period. Invasive and noxious species will be monitored and controlled so
that none become dominant or alter the desired community structure of the site. If necessary, RES will
develop a species-specific control plan.
4.1.6.5 Adaptive Management
The Mitigation Plan will include a detailed adaptive management plan that will address how potential
problems are resolved. In the event that the site, or a specific component of the site, fails to achieve the
defined success criteria, RES will develop necessary adaptive management plans and/or implement
appropriate remedial actions for the site in coordination with the IRT. Remedial actions will be designed to
achieve the success criteria specified previously, and will include identification of the causes of failure,
remedial design approach, work schedule, and monitoring criteria that will take into account physical and
climatic conditions. If tree mortality affects 40 percent or greater of the canopy in a stream or wetland
restoration area, then a remedial/supplemental planting plan will be developed and implemented for the
affected area(s).
5 BANK ESTABLISHMENT AND OPERATION
5.1 Establishment and Operation of the Bank
This Bank Parcel shall be established under the terms and conditions of the RES French Broad Umbrella
Mitigation Bank made and entered into by and among EBX, LLC, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Marine
Fisheries Services, the North Carolina Department of the Environment and Natural Resources, the North
Carolina Division of Water Resources, and the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission,
collectively, the Interagency Review Team.
5.2 Proposed Credit Release Schedule
All credit releases will be based on the total credit generated as reported by the as -built survey of the
Mitigation Site. The pre -construction credit release (15 percent) will be based on the credit total in the Final
Mitigation Plan. The second credit release will be based on the As -Built survey, and will adjust the total
released credits based on the actual constructed channel lengths. The District Engineer (DE), in consultation
with the IRT, will determine if performance standards have been satisfied sufficiently to meet the
requirements of the release schedule below. In cases where some performance standards have not been met,
credits may still be released depending on the specifics of the case. At the direction of the DE, in
consultation with the IRT, monitoring may be required to be extended, depending on the extent to which
the site fails to meet the specified performance standard. The release of project credits will be subject to the
criteria described in Table 3.

5.2.1 Initial Allocation of Released Credits
The initial allocation of released credits, as specified in the mitigation plan can be released by the IRT with
written approval of the DE upon satisfactory completion of the following activities:
1. Approval of instrument by the DE, in consultation with the IRT;
2. Approval of a final Mitigation Plan;
3. Confirmation that the Bank Site has been secured;
4. Delivery of executed financial assurances as specified in the Mitigation Plan;
5. Delivery of a copy of the recorded long-term protection mechanism as described in the Mitigation
Plan, as well as a title opinion covering the property acceptable to the DE; and
6. Issuance of any DA permits necessary for construction of the Bank site (if necessary).
Carolina Bison Mitigation Site PROSPECTUS
RES French Broad Umbrella Bank 16 November 2016

5.2.2 Subsequent Credit Releases
The second credit release will occur after the completion of implementation of the Mitigation Plan and
submittal of the Baseline Monitoring Report and As -built Survey. All subsequent credit releases must be
approved by the DE, in consultation with the IRT, based on a determination that required performance
standards have been achieved. As projects approach milestones associated with credit release, the Sponsor
will submit a request for credit release to the DE along with documentation substantiating achievement of
criteria required for release to occur. This documentation will be included with the annual monitoring
report.
5.3 Financial Assurances
The Sponsor shall provide financial assurances in the form of a Performance Bond to the IRT sufficient to
assure completion of all mitigation work, required reporting and monitoring, and any remedial work
required. Financial assurances shall be payable at the direction of the USACE to their designee or to a
standby trust. Financial assurances structured to provide funds to the USACE in the event of default by the
Bank Sponsor are not acceptable. A financial assurance must be in a form that ensures that the USACE
receives notification at least 120 days in advance of any termination or revocation.
5.4 Proposed Ownership and Long -Term Management
EBX, LLC, acting as the Bank Sponsor, will establish a Conservation Easement, and will monitor the Site
for a minimum of seven years. The Mitigation Plan will provide detailed information regarding bank
operation, including long term management and annual monitoring activities, for review and approval by
the IRT. Upon approval of the site by the IRT, the site will be transferred to a long-term land steward (to
be determined in the Mitigation Plan). The long-term steward shall be responsible for periodic inspection
of the site to ensure that restrictions required in the Conservation Easement or the deed restriction
document(s) are upheld. Endowment funds required to uphold easement and deed restrictions shall be
negotiated prior to site transfer to the responsible party.
The Bank Sponsor will ensure that the Conservation Easement will allow for the implementation of an
initial monitoring phase, which will be developed during the design phase and conducted by the Bank
Sponsor. The Conservation Easement will allow for yearly monitoring and, if necessary, maintenance of
the site during the initial monitoring phase. These activities will be conducted in accordance with the terms
and conditions of the RES French Broad Umbrella Mitigation Bank made and entered into by EBX, LLC,
and USACE.
5.5 Assurance of Water Rights
Sufficient water rights exist to support the long-term sustainability of the site, as there are no "severed"
rights on the property.
