1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview
The North Carolina Global TransPark Authority (Authority) is proposing the development of a
limited, single-user mitigation bank (Bank) to be used for projects specifically related to the
North Carolina Global TransPark (NCGTP). The Authority proposes to incorporate existing, up-
front wetland and stream restoration investment with additional preservation property for the
purpose of drawing credits to satisfy mitigation needs for NCGTP.
NCGTP, located in Kinston, North Carolina was originally conceived to include approximately
15,726 acres of land targeted for development as an inter-modal transportation facility that could
provide for supply and distribution of goods and services to commercial, agricultural, industrial,
and military clients (Figure 1, Appendix A). Recent economic considerations have caused the
Authority to focus efforts within lands currently owned by the Authority consisting of
approximately 2400 acres centered on the central cargo facility in addition to off-site mitigation
properties at Dover Bay and Frog Hollow. The Authority is a state agency that has been tasked
to transform NCGTP into one of the leading logistical, manufacturing and distribution business
parks in the United States. The success of NCGTP will stimulate economic growth in eastern
North Carolina by attracting private sector firms requiring high skill, high wage job opportunities.
Environmental protection and stewardship are important parts of the plan.
The Authority has recognized the fact that long-range plans for the NCGTP would impact
additional jurisdictional wetlands outside the existing Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 404
permit area (Figure 2, Appendix A). Additionally, a surplus of credits, identified in the
NCGTP Mitigation Bank Prospectus 1 Lenoir County
compensatory Mitigation Plan, greatly exceeds the functional replacement for proposed on-site
impacts. The consolidation of mitigation sites into a Bank will compensate the Authority based
on established credit ratios, simplify the CWA Section 404 process, and provide flexibility for the
Authority to carry out its mission. As a result, the Authority is working cooperatively with the
United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), North Carolina Division of Water Quality
(NCDWQ) and other agencies, to develop a Bank considered suitable to compensate for
existing and future wetland impacts. Following coordination with these agencies, the Authority
intends to modify the existing CWA Section 404 permit to authorize the establishment of a Bank.
1.2 Existing Section 401 and 404 Permits
A permit area of approximately 5,775 acres, incorporating the NCGTP's central airport cargo
facility and surrounding lands, was defined in the project's 1997 Final Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) and approved as part of the Clean Water Act Section 404 permit (Action
ID # 199202851 [Appendix B]) and 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC #3184) [Appendix C]
issued for the project in 1998. The permit allows for impacts to 871 acres of wetlands within
NCGTP permit limits (765 acres of non-riparian [formerly listed as non-riverine] and 106 acres of
riparian [formerly listed as riverine]). A detailed Mitigation Plan (NCGTP 1997) was prepared as
part of the EIS and Section 404/401 permit to provide specifically for full functional replacement
for wetland and stream impacts. The Mitigation Plan was developed to provide a
comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to compensate for unavoidable wetland impacts for the
development of NCGTP. However, during permit negotiations in 1998, a decision was made to
offer all mitigation (approximately 4620 acres) for the potential loss of 871 wetland acres
(average ratio of 5:1) without provision for a functional basis as part of the debit/credit process.
Currently, the Authority has realized approximately 125.5 acres of impacts (see Appendix D).
Under the existing permit, the Authority is not required to account for impacts on a ratio basis.
Only a running tab of total acreage of impact is recorded.
1.3 Existing Mitigation Plan Summary
The Mitigation Plan and subsequent 404 permit and 401 water quality certification, provided for
a phased approach to allow the Authority to implement the various components of the plan over
an approximate 10-year time frame. The Mitigation Plan combined NCGTP on-site and off-site
wetland mitigation, a monitoring program, as well as environmental education and public
interest programs to serve as a catalyst for regional conservation planning in the lower Neuse
River Basin. Figure 3 and 4 (Appendix A) depict the proposed NCGTP on-site mitigation area
and off-site mitigation area (Dover Bay). All components of the existing plan were detailed in
the Mitigation Plan (NCGTP 1997). The proposed phases of work are outlined below.
Phase I (Years 1 through 4)
1. Acquisition and protection of mitigation lands (approximately 4620 acres)
• NCGTP on-site mitigation lands (approximately 1520 acres)
• Dover Bay (approximately 3100 acres)
2. Participation in the North Carolina Wetland Restoration Program (WRP) [Currently the
North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program] (8.66 acres)
NCGTP Mitigation Bank Prospectus 2 Lenoir County
3. Wetland and Steam functional restoration at Stonyton Creek Mitigation Area.
• Stormwater and pollution control
• Stream restoration and enhancement activities
• Wetland and buffer plant community restoration
4. Wetland functional restoration at Dover Bay
• Prescribed fire management
• Earthwork
• Reforestation
5. Monitoring program
Phase II (Year 4 through 6)
1. Stream restoration and reforestation of Wildlife Corridors
2. Wetland restoration of Interstream Mitigation Areas
3. Installation of nest boxes in the vicinity of NCGTP facilities and wetland mitigation areas
4. Monitoring program
Phase III (Year 6 through 10)
1. Continue the monitoring program
2. Implementation of Wildlife Management Plan
3. Implementation of Education Programs
1.4 Completed Mitigation
Phase I
Phase I of the Mitigation Plan has been completed. This phase of work involved a majority of
the required mitigation under the 404/401 permit and included the acquisition and restoration of
the Stonyton Creek Mitigation Area and Dover Bay. The 366-acre Stonyton Creek Mitigation
Area involved the enhancement and restoration of stream and wetlands along a four mile reach
of Stonyton Creek located within NCGTP boundaries (Figure 3, Appendix A). Approximately
2950 linear feet of a straightened reach of Stonyton Creek was actively restored on new location
using natural channel design technique. Approximately 15 acres of riparian wetlands adjacent
to the reworked stream were restored through the removal of spoil piles, flood control berms,
and drainage ditches. Enhancement activities within the Stonyton Creek corridor included the
removal of potentially contaminated materials, reforestation of wetland and upland buffer plant
communities, invasive plant removal, forest management, and stream buffer enhancement.
More than 120,000 tree and shrub seedlings were planted in support of the restoration and
enhancement effort.
The Authority has purchased and restored the 3151-acre Dover Bay - a significant rare Carolina
Bay ecosystem (Figure 4, Appendix A). The restoration work included 10 miles of ditch and
road removal, planting of more than 150,000 trees, and construction of control weirs to regulate
water entering and leaving the site. A detailed account of restoration activities at the Stonyton
Creek Mitigation Area and Dover Bay is provided in Section 2.0.
An extensive monitoring program has been formulated to assure suitable conditions for the
establishment and long-term survival of the proposed wetland communities and to document
NCGTP Mitigation Bank Prospectus 3 Lenoir County
progress in meeting performance standards, as agreed upon with the USACE. In addition, an
in-depth hydrologic monitoring program was established to evaluate the accuracy and suitability
of the various hydrologic regimes across the sites. This monitoring program includes the use of
continuously recording groundwater gauges to evaluate hydrologic conditions within the
restored wetland areas. The monitoring program for Dover Bay is in its fifth and final year of
monitoring, while the Stonyton Creek Mitigation Area is presently in its third year.
Phase II
Phase II of the Mitigation Plan was to include the acquisition and restoration of the proposed
Wildlife Corridors and Interstream Mitigation Areas (Figure 3, Appendix A). Currently, none of
the Interstream Mitigation area has been acquired to date, and only 20 acres of the proposed
350 acres of Wildlife Corridor has been acquired. Based on the distressing and prohibitively
expensive land condemnation (Eminent Domain) process used to acquire the Stonyton Creek
Mitigation Area, the Authority has been seeking alternatives to satisfy the mitigation credits lost
from this phase of the Mitigation Plan.
The search failed to identify any suitable large tracts of non-riparian, interstream wetlands in the
region. However, the search did identify the Frog Hollow Site, a 1100-acre riverine wetland
preservation site, located adjacent to the Neuse River in the west central Craven County. A
detailed description of Frog Hollow is provided in Section 3.0.
The Authority is currently negotiating an option agreement for 1100 acres of the Frog Hollow
site. The use of Frog Hollow in place of the proposed Wildlife Corridors and Interstream
Mitigation Areas will require acceptance by the USACE and other regulatory agencies. A
primary function of the interstream wetlands linked by wildlife corridors was for wildlife
enhancement, with improvements to water quality as a secondary consideration. The Frog
Hollow site provides for these functions. Any purchase agreement will be contingent upon this
acceptance.
Phase III
The NCGTP public education program has been started. The Education Training Center (ETC),
completed in 2002, is a high tech facility offering space for training and educational programs.
A community outreach program has included the Boy Scouts of America constructing and
installing more than 170 bird boxes in habitat areas on the NCGTP complex. Presentations to
school groups and other interested parties have been made to introduce the NCGTP
environmental program and to inform others of the environmental restoration and enhancement
progress.
Other enhancement activities include wildlife habitat management and plans for the creation of
recreational areas to provide access to the public. Wildlife habitat management consists mostly
of increased nesting habitat for various bird species through the placement of species
appropriate bird boxes. Recreational opportunities under consideration include the construction
of a nature trail and a proposed wildlife observation area adjacent to the NCGTP educational
center (where North Carolina Highway 58 [NC 58] crosses Stonyton Creek) [Figure 2,
Appendix A].
NCGTP Mitigation Bank Prospectus 4 Lenoir County
The Authority will also continue with its public involvement and environmental education
program. A wildlife access area behind the Education Training Center is proposed, complete
with walking trails and boardwalks to significant environmental features. A community outreach
will continue to include opportunities for the public to learn and participate in various
environmental activities ranging from mitigation monitoring to learning about area wildlife.
1.5 Mitigation Acreage Assessment
A total of approximately 4620 acres of mitigation was proposed under the existing 404 permit.
(Table 1). The proposed acreage included approximately 1520 acres of on-site mitigation
(Stonyton Creek Mitigation Area, Wildlife Corridors, Interstream Mitigation Areas) and
3100 acres of off-site mitigation (Dover Bay). Currently, the Authority has purchased
approximately 3558 acres including the Stonyton Creek Mitigation Area, a small portion of the
Wildlife Corridors, and Dover Bay. The Authority is committed to providing up to 4658 acres of
mitigation acreage under a mitigation banking agreement, assuming the remaining Phase II
commitment can be obtained through the purchase of up to 1100 acres of the Frog Hollow site.

2.0 RESTORATION SITES
2.1 Stonyton Creek Mitigation Area
The 366-acre Stonyton Creek Mitigation Area involved the enhancement and restoration of
stream and wetlands along a four mile reach of Stonyton Creek located within NCGTP
boundaries (Figure 3, Appendix A). A description of these activities is provided below.
2.1.1 Wetland Enhancement
?kj
1.4
WIWI
£
The large majority of the Stonyton Creek
mitigation site activities are associated with plant
community restoration (Figure 5, Appendix A).
The two main components of plant community
restoration include a large scale bare-root tree
and shrub planting effort and the removal of
invasive and non-native plant species.
Restoration of the floodplain forest and
streamside habitat will allow for development
and expansion of characteristic plant
communities across the landscape.
a Reforestation occurred along formerly cleared
stream sides, sparsely regenerating floodplain
locations, and areas previously under cultivation
or pasture. Approximately 105,000 bare-root
` 47%
seedlings were planted within the Stonyton
klA'
Creek floodplain, with an additional 16,000
';. seedlings planted within the upland conservation
buffer. Ecotonal changes between community
Stontyon Creek Corridor and Education Training types are expected to contribute to habitat
Center, lower right. diversity and provide secondary benefits, such
as enhanced feeding and nesting opportunities
for mammals, birds, amphibians, and other
wildlife. The invasive plant management involved the removal or control of the most aggressive
non-native plants within the site including tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima), chinaberry (Melia
azedarach), and Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense).
Additional components of the restoration plan within the Stonyton Creek corridor included:
• Removal of numerous waste dumps that contained old automobiles, chemical storage
containers, barbed wire fencing, and general landfill material.
• Construction of low-impact access points and maintenance corridor. The construction of
the maintenance corridor included the installation of four gated driveway entrances, five
permanent ford crossings, and approximately 2 miles of maintained corridor for off-road
vehicle access.
NCGTP Mitigation Bank Prospectus 6 Lenoir County
• The Authority has provided funding to the U.S Department of Agriculture's (USDA)
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) for beaver management activities
throughout the entire Stonyton Creek corridor.
• Passive stream improvements including log weirs and grade stabilization structures were
placed in the linear stream segments primarily between Highway 58 and John
Mewborne Road.
2.1.2 Stream and Wetland Restoration
Stream restoration efforts, using Priority 1 design techniques (Rosgen 1996), were implemented
along a channelized section of Stonyton Creek immediately east of Highway 58 to restore a
stable, meandering stream that approximates the hydrodynamics and stream geometry relative
to natural conditions in the region. This effort consisted primarily of spoil pile excavation and
removal followed by stream construction on a new location. Stream restoration activities
restored approximately 2000 linear feet of channelized stream with approximately 2950 linear
feet of a stable, E-type channel configuration (Figure 3, Appendix A). Approximately 15 acres of
wetlands adjacent to reworked stream were restored through the removal of spoil piles, flood
control berms, and drainage.
Stream and Wetland Restoration, Stontyon Creek
Following stream construction, the wetland
restoration area was extensively planted
with bare-root seedlings (Figure 5,
Appendix A). Plant community restoration
within the site included planted species
consistent with reference data, on-site
observations, and community descriptions
(Schafale and Weakley 1990). Restoration
of riparian and upland forest communities
provides habitat for area wildlife and allows
for development and expansion of
characteristic stream forest species across
the landscape. Ecotonal changes between
community types contribute to diversity and
provide secondary benefits, such as
enhanced feeding and nesting
opportunities for mammals, birds,
amphibians, and other wildlife.

2.2.1 Wetland Restoration and Enhancement
Dover Bay Mitigation Site, Craven County
The Authority has purchased and
restored the approximately 3151-
acre Dover Bay, a threatened and
rare Carolina Bay wetland
ecosystem in eastern North
Carolina. Dover Bay is located
approximately 1.0 mile northwest
of Cove City in western Craven
County (Figure 7, Appendix A).
The restoration and enhancement
work included 10 miles of ditch
and road removal, planting of
more than 150,000 tree seedlings,
and construction of control weirs
to regulate water entering and
leaving the site. Dover Bay
provides the bulk of non-riverine
NCGTP Mitigation Bank Prospectus 8 Lenoir County
mitigation for NCGTP project impacts. Restoration activities within Dover Bay primarily include
reforestation activities, road and ditch removal, hydrologic and vegetation monitoring,
restoration of endangered and threatened species habitat, and selective site burning/ground
preparation.
Restoration activities on the Site occurred in two phases. The first phase focused on restoration
of the Mitchell Tract, a portion of the bay previously in agricultural production. The second
phase focused on the removal of the road and ditch network in the remaining portion of the bay
in 2003. In the fall and winter of 1999, the drainage ditch network within the 245-acre Mitchell
Tract was removed and a prescribed burn initiated. Post-burn, the Mitchell Tract was planted
with pond pine (Pinus serotina), pond cypress (Taxodium ascendens), swamp tupelo (Nyssa
biflora), loblolly bay (Gordonia lasianthus), and red bay (Persea palustris). The sand rim that
stretches along the southern and eastern borders of the Mitchell Tract was planted with longleaf
pine (Pinus palustris), bluejack oak (Quercus incana), and blackjack oak (Quercus marilandica).
The transition zone was planted with Atlantic white cedar (Chamaecyparis thyoides).
The planting plan for the main portion of the Dover Bay was modified slightly to accommodate
changing site conditions in 2001. Some areas demonstrated sufficient natural regeneration and
were removed from the planting plan. Pond pine and pond cypress were planted on
approximately 191 acres of skidder trails and logging decks at a spacing of 80 stems per acre to
supplement natural regeneration. Construction activities resulting in the removal of the road
and ditch network occurred during February and March of 2003, with subsequent plant
community restoration completed in late March 2003. Approximately 39 acres of the road and
ditch network were planted at a density of 333 stems per acre. Planted tree species included
pond cypress, Atlantic white cedar, and pond pine.
2.2.2 Design Units
Groundwater modeling was used as the predominant method for predicting wetland restoration
and enhancement acreage within Dover Bay. The groundwater model predicted the loss of
wetland hydrology though the drainage effects of the on-site ditches. Figure 8 identifies the
ditches modeled and depicts the inner zone of wetland removal (i.e. wetland hydrology reduced
below 5 percent of the growing season) and the outer zone of wetland degradation (i.e. wetland
hydrology reduced below 12.5 percent of the growing season). Figure 8 (Appendix A) and
Table 3 depict the areas of non-riparian wetland restoration, enhancement, and wetland
preservation within Dover Bay.

3.0 FROG HOLLOW PRESERAVATION SITE
The Frog Hollow site is proposed as the full replacement of the functional value of the initially
proposed Wildlife Corridors and Interstream Mitigation Areas. A primary function of the
interstream wetlands linked by wildlife corridors was for wildlife enhancement, with
improvements to water quality as a secondary consideration. The Frog Hollow site provides for
these functions.
The Frog Hollow wetland preservation area for the Bank has been selected based upon a
regional search for wetland tracts situated within the lower Neuse River Basin, 8-digit HUC
03020202. Wetland preservation tracts were selected based upon numerous criteria including
wetland type (riparian or non-riparian), unique (pristine wetlands) wetland communities, regional
significance, size of tract, and ease of acquisition. The search failed to identify any suitable
large tracts of non-riparian, interstream wetlands in the region. However, the Frog Hollow Site
located in the west central Craven County was identified to provide riparian wetland
preservation (Figure 9Appendix A). The Frog Hollow Site will be protected and managed in
tandem with the Stonyton Creek Mitigation Area and Dover Bay as part of a greater regional
wetland and wildlife conservation effort.
3.1 Site Conditions
Frog Hollow consists of approximately 1100 acres of primarily mature cypress-tupelo swamp
and bottomland hardwood forest situated along approximately 3.8-mile reach of the Neuse River
in west central Craven County (Figure 10, Appendix A). The Site extends from the confluence
of Core Creek and the Neuse River to a point immediately upstream of the confluence of Turkey
Quarter Creek and the Neuse River. The mature wetland forests located on the site are
threatened by active clear-cutting activities occurring in the surrounding area. While the site is
overwhelmingly wetland in character, there are bluffs and levee formations, bordering the
palustrine communities that provide habitat for a rich assemblage of terrestrial and semi-aquatic
species. Frog Hollow includes significant stands of mature trees, a series of river oxbows, and
NCGTP Mitigation Bank Prospectus 10 Lenoir County
connectivity to the Lower Neuse River bio-reserve (North Carolina Coastal Land Trust). The
use of Frog Hollow for wetland preservation is designed to augment the regional, riparian
wetland corridor along the lower Neuse River.
3.2 Soils
The site is representative of historical channel and floodplain dynamics associated with the
lateral reworking of the Neuse River. Reworking of the floodplain and channel is evidenced by
meander scrolls, sloughs, and former levee depositional formations. Based on field
reconnaissance and Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) soil mapping, soils within
the parcel boundary consist primarily of Masontown-Muckalee (MM) loams (Figure 11,
Appendix A). These hydric soils are frequently flooded for long periods by overbank events
from the Neuse River and maintain a high water table at a depth of 1.0 feet below to 1.0 feet
above the surface. Both soil types are nearly level, poorly to very poorly drained. Also
identified within the site are relatively narrow bands and "islands" of Tarboro (TaB) sand. These
non-hydric soils represent a series of excessively drained soils with a high water table at a
depth of 2 to 4 feet below the surface.
3.3 Stream and Wetland Inventory
The stream and wetland inventory at Frog Hollow was determined using limited field review and
Geographical Information Systems (GIS) technology, including aerial photographic
interpretation, placement of NRCS hydric soils boundaries on the property tax map, and high
resolution LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data. Based on this review, Frog Hollow fronts
approximately 19,825 linear feet (3.8 miles) along the Neuse River, 225 linear feet along Turkey
Quarter Creek, and 2,655 linear feet along Core Creek. No other streams are located within the
site. Approximately 989 acres of hydric soils are located within the Frog Hollow Site. Figure 12
(Appendix A) depicts the location of existing streams and wetland systems.
3.4 Unique Site Attributes
The Frog Hollow Site has numerous unique attributes including:
• Frog Hollow is designated as "Neuse River Floodplains and Bluffs" and registered by the
North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NHP) as a "Significant Natural Area."
• Frog Hollow lies immediately adjacent to more than 2,650 acres of Neuse River riparian
land managed by the North Carolina Coastal Land Trust. These sites include the Core
Creek-Lassiter Site (54 acres), Turkey Quarter Island (1456 acres), Greens
Thoroughfare Island (221.1 acres) and Neuse River Floodplains (927 acres).
• Consummation of the conservation easement at Frog Hollow would result in the
permanent protection of more than 3,700 contiguous acres of pristine floodplain and
riparian community, a very significant contribution to regional fisheries, wildlife,
recreation, and general ecological health.
• Frog Hollow and the immediate environs are known to harbor rare plants and animals,
including the significantly rare Eaton Ladies' tresses (an orchid) and American speedwell
(plant), as well as Rafinesque's big-eared bat and the West Indian Manatee (a summer
transient), federal species of concern and federally endangered species, respectively.
• The Site's proximity to the Neuse River; size (> 1000 acres); diversity of habitats, from
low-lying floodplains to more elevated upper riparian communities to river bluff and levee
communities makes this site exceptional from the standpoint of ecosystem protection.
NCGTP Mitigation Bank Prospectus 11 Lenoir County
4.0 BANK ESTABLISHMENT PROCESS
4.1 Mitigation Banking Objectives
Objectives for the Bank proposed by the Authority include:
• Allows the Authority better flexibility by utilization of mitigation assets in expanded
service areas.
• Allows for a re-evaluation of NCGTP mitigation credits to be based on functional
replacement, following Federal banking guidelines.
• Use as part of a comprehensive watershed plan that addresses NCGTP development
requirements and the need for preservation and restoration of wetlands,
• Compensate for wetland losses from future projects associated with NCGTP,
• Provide an incentive for economic growth by streamlining the process for providing
compensation of unavoidable wetlands impacts,
• Provide for preservation or restoration of wetlands with watershed and regional
significance that otherwise might not be improved because of insufficient funding,
4.2 Mitigation Sites
The proposed Bank is comprised of approximately 4664 acres of on-site and off-site mitigation
areas located at three locations situated within the Lower Neuse River Basin in Lenoir and
Craven Counties. The Bank includes:
• Stonyton Creek Mitigation Area, a 336-acre site located within NCGTP boundaries along
a four mile reach of Stonyton Creek (Figure 3, Appendix A),
• Dover Bay, a 3151-acre restored Carolina Bay (Figure 8, Appendix A),
• Frog Hollow, a proposed 1100-acre preservation site located along the Neuse River
(Figure 12, Appendix A).
4.3 Geographic Service Area
The geographic service area (GSA) is the designated area wherein a bank can reasonably be
expected to provide appropriate compensation for impacts to wetland or other aquatic
resources. Currently, mitigation credits only apply for impacts within the designated 5775-acre
permit zone. The proposed GSA includes the Neuse River Basin, 8-digit USGS Hydrologic Unit
(HU) 03020202, as well as two adjacent 12-digit HUs (030202030505, 030303030506). The
current designated impact zone and the proposed GSA are shown in Figure 13 (Appendix A).
The GSA area includes the lower Neuse River corridor extending from Goldsboro to Newbern,
several major tributaries including Bear Creek, Core Creek, and Swift Creek, and portions of
Nahunta Swamp watershed. The proposed GSA is needed to anticipate the logistical and
transportation infrastructure that the NCGTP facility will require. The Bank's GSA is consistent
with both state and federal guidance defining service areas.
4.4 Permits
Use of credits from the Bank to offset wetland impacts authorized by Clean Water Act permits
must be in compliance with the Clean Water Act and implementing regulations, including but not
limited to the 404(b)(10 Guidelines), the Nation Environmental Policy Act, and all other
applicable Federal and State legislation, rules and regulations.
NCGTP Mitigation Bank Prospectus 12 Lenoir County
The USACE, after consultation with the appropriate federal and state review agencies through
the permit review process, shall make final decisions concerning the amount and type of
compensatory mitigation to be required for unavoidable, permitted wetland impacts, and
whether or not the use of credits from the Bank is appropriate to offset those impacts. In the
case of permit applications and compensatory mitigation required solely under the Section 401
Water Quality Certification rules of North Carolina, NCDWQ will determine the amount of credits
that can be withdrawn from the Bank.
The Authority wishes to allow the existing 5775-acre permit area to remain intact. This proposal
seeks simply to amend the existing, valid 404/401 permits to allow for supplemental mitigation
resources to be evaluated and substituted to allow for a more reasonable mitigation credit
determination and to allow for expansion of the service area in which mitigation resources can
be used.
4.5 Bank Credit Calculation
4.3.1 Assessment Methodology for Determining Credits
In summary, assuming the acceptance of the remaining Phase II commitment by the purchase
of up to 1100 acres of the Frog Hollow Preservation Site, NCGTP Bank will have approximately
1784 wetland credits. Additionally, the Bank will provide 2906 linear feet of stream credits that
were not considered in the initial determination. Prior to 1998, regulatory agencies did not
distinguish between stream and wetland credits.
Under a mitigation banking agreement, the Authority proposes to adhere to the standard,
accepted mitigation ratios (outlined in federal mitigation banking guidance), depending on the
type of mitigation strategy employed at NCGTP. However, due to the acreage (approximately
145 acres) and extensive nature of buffer restoration in addition to the enhancement activities
implemented within the Stonyton Creek Mitigation Area, the Authority is seeking an improved
1.5:1 ratio for wetland enhancement.
The proposed mitigation ratios are as follows:
Wetland Restoration (1:1)
Stonyton Creek Wetland Enhancement (1.5:1)
Dover Bay Wetland Enhancement (2:1)
Wetland Preservation (5:1)
Stream Restoration (1:1)
Table 4 shows the breakdown for NCGTP resources using these ratios.

4.3.2 Debit Release
It is anticipated that in most cases in which the USACE, after consultation with the MBRT, has
determined that mitigation credits from the Bank may be used to offset wetland impacts
authorized by Section 404 permits, for every one acre of impacts, two credits will be debited
from the bank. One of those credits must be a restoration credit; the remaining credit will be
made up of any combination of restoration, enhancement, creation or preservation credits, as
selected by the bank sponsor and approved by the USACE during its permit process. Deviation
from this compensation ratio may be authorized by the USACE on a case-by-case basis where
justified by considerations of functions of the wetlands impacted, the severity of the wetland
impacts, whether the compensatory mitigation is in-kind, and the physical proximity of the
wetland impacts to the Bank property, except that in all cases, a minimum of a one-to-one ratio
of impact acres to restoration mitigation credits (acres) must be met.
Currently, the Authority has realized 125.52 acres (22.23 acres riparian, 103.29 acres non-
riparian) of impacts [see Appendix D]. Under the existing permit, the Authority is not required to
account for impacts on a ratio basis. Only a running of total of acreage impact has been tallied.
The Authority is willing to debit the bank for existing wetland impacts. Additionally,
approximately 2100 linear feet of stream were impacted for the NCGTP runway extension
project, which will also be debited from the Bank.
This Bank is proposed for NCGTP-related projects only. It is understood that a project with
adverse impacts to wetlands within the proposed service area must obtain the approval of
USACE, in order to use the Bank as a source of compensatory mitigation. To receive approval
to use the Bank, an applicant must first obtain approval from the Authority. In addition, the
applicant must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the pertinent regulatory agencies that the
project complies with all applicable requirements pertaining to alternatives and mitigation
sequencing and that debiting credits from the Bank for compensatory mitigation would be in the
best interest of the environment. Specifically, a permit applicant must generally be able to
demonstrate to the satisfaction of the involved regulatory agencies that:
1. The project is a NCGTP-related activity.
2. There is no practicable alternative to adversely impacting wetlands.
3. All appropriate and practicable measures to minimize adverse impacts to
wetlands have been considered and included in the project.
4. All appropriate and practical on-site compensatory mitigation for
unavoidable adverse impacts is included in the project.
4.3.3 Credit Release Schedule
To date, most of the restoration work for the proposed Bank has been implemented and has
monitored for a minimum of three years. This is in contrast to most banking proposals in which
the work has yet to be implemented. The monitoring data suggests a successful restoration
effort in compliance with the mitigation plan.
Based the Authority's past record and future commitment to compensate for unavoidable
wetland impacts for the development of NCGTP, the Authority is requesting immediate access
NCGTP Mitigation Bank Prospectus 15 Lenoir County
to 100 percent of the Bank's 1792.66 credits, less the existing stream and wetland impacts. The
credits shall be available for use on an NCGTP-related project immediately upon completion of
all of the following:
1. Execution of the mitigation banking instrument (MBI) by the Authority, the USACE, and
other agencies participation in the MBRT who choose to execute the agreement;
2. Recordation of the preservation mechanism, as well as a title opinion acceptable to the
USACE covering the property;
3. Acceptance of previous and current monitoring data that demonstrates success criteria.
4.3.4 Procedure for Tracking Credits
The Authority will establish and maintain for inspection and reporting purposes a ledger of all
credit transactions. The Authority will maintain a ledger of the credits that are released through
the achievement of specified performance standards (if any), as well as credits that are debited
through use. The following information will be recorded in the ledger for each transaction:
1. Date of transaction.
2. Number of credits transacted.
3. For credit use, include the name, address, and telephone number of user/purchaser the
name of project, permit or project number(s) and name of the regulatory agency (ies)
requiring permits; location of the project for which the credits are being purchased; and a
brief description of the project impacts requiring compensatory mitigation (e.g., nature,
size and type of wetland).
4. Number of credits in the Bank remaining by type at the time of transaction.
The Authority will prepare an Annual Report to be provided to each MBRT member within thirty
(30) days of each anniversary of the date of execution of the MBI, showing all credits used and
the balance of credits remaining by type (e.g. riparian and non-riparian wetland). The
Authority's reporting obligations will end upon the use of all credits or termination of the MBI,
whichever event first occurs.
4.6 Monitoring, Maintenance, and Reporting
Monitoring
As required, the restoration sites have already been subjected to continued maintenance and
monitoring activities. To date, the restoration site conditions, as reflected by the presence of
suitable wetland hydrology and native wetland vegetation, suggest a successful wetland
mitigation effort. Upon the completion of the final monitoring report, the presence of a
conservation easement, long term maintenance activities, and final acceptance by USACE, it is
expected that the Bank will provide for a variety of high quality wetland functions and values in
perpetuity.
Maintenance
Maintenance will be performed as required to address any conditions that could jeopardize
reaching the Bank's performance standards. If there is a significant problem with achieving the
performance standards, the Authority will work with the MBRT to develop a contingency plan.
NCGTP Mitigation Bank Prospectus 16 Lenoir County
Contingency plans can include but are not limited to: re-grading, additional plant installation,
invasive plant control, and modifications to hydrology.
4.7 Long-term Stewardship, Protection and Management
It is the intent of the Authority to grant all Bank property or conservation easements to a non-
profit conservation entity or governmental agency and, if necessary, provide them with the
means of funding for long-term stewardship and site maintenance. The North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission (WRC) has accepted responsibility for holding a conservation
easement on the Dover Bay mitigation site. A decision concerning on-going stewardship for the
Stonyton Creek corridor and Frog Hollow site will be determined once monitoring and land
acquisition is completed. The conservation easements or fee simple ownership of Bank
property shall be perpetual, preserve all natural areas, and prohibit all use of the property
inconsistent with its use as mitigation property, including any activity that would materially alter
the biological integrity or functional and educational value of wetlands or aquatic resources
within the Bank.
The Authority will deliver a title opinion acceptable to the USACE covering the Bank property.
All NCGTP mitigation property will be free and clear of any encumbrances that would conflict
with its use as mitigation, including, but not limited to, any liens that have priority over the
recorded preservation mechanism.
4.8 Financial Assurances
The Authority has purchased Dover Bay and Stonyton Creek Sites and is currently negotiating
the acquisition of the Frog Hollow Tract. The funding for property acquisition and remaining
monitoring during the establishment phase of the bank is secured through the 2008 fiscal year.
The Authority, as the permit holder of the Bank will be the responsible party for the financial
assurances during the establishment phase of the bank. As a state agency, future funds are
secured through annual legislative allocations to the Authority.
