North Fork Little River Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel
Wildlands Holdings II, LLC's North Fork Little River Nutrient Offset and Riparian Buffer
Mitigation Bank
The North Fork Little River Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel ("Site") is a part of the
Wildlands Holdings II, LLC (Sponsor) North Fork Little River Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank
(Bank). The Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI) for the Bank was signed on April 19, 2016. The project
Site was planned, designed, and constructed encompassing land along tributaries to the North Fork
Little River in Durham County, NC (Figure 1).
The project has been planned, designed and constructed per the MBI, 15A NCAC 02B .0240 and the
Consolidated Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295. The purpose of the Bank is to provide riparian buffer
credits to compensate for buffer impacts within the Hydrologic Unit Code 03020201 and to provide
nutrient offset payments within the Falls Lake Watershed. The service areas for both the riparian buffer
and nutrient offset mitigation are depicted in Figure 2. The mitigation credits generated from this site
are listed in Table 1 and shown in Figure 3.
1.0 Introduction
The Parcel involves restoring Neuse riparian buffers and other riparian areas adjacent to streams and
ditches onsite in order to reduce non -point source contaminant discharges to downstream waters in the
Falls Lake Watershed. Approximately 33.43 acres of the project area are protected by a permanent
conservation easement.
The Site is located in a rural watershed within the Neuse River Basin (HUC 03020201) and within sub -
basin 02-00-10. Stormwater runoff drains into eight identified features (A -H): three unnamed tributaries
to the North Fork of the Little River and five ditches. All Site features flow into unnamed tributary
Feature A, which then flows into another unnamed tributary to the North Fork of the Little River, the
Little River, the Little River Reservoir, the Eno River, and ultimately into Falls Lake. All of the intermittent
streams on the Site are classified as Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW) by DWR. The Little River Reservoir
is a major source of drinking water for the City of Durham; Falls Lake is a major source of drinking water
for the City of Raleigh. To protect these reservoirs, the Little River and its waters are also classified as
Water Supply II (WS -II) and as a High Quality Water (HQW) by DWR.
2.0 Parcel Location & Background
2.1 Location and Setting
The Site is located in northwestern Durham County, approximately 14 miles north of the City of Durham
(36° 10' 9.48" N and 78° 55' 49.44" W) in a rural watershed within the Neuse River Basin (HUC
03020201) and within Division of Water Resources (DWR) sub -basin 02-00-10. To get to the Parcel from
downtown Durham, travel north on U.S. Highway 501 North for approximately 12.7 miles. Turn left ontc
S. Lowell Road and continue west for approximately 1.9 miles to the intersection with Johnson Mill
Road. The Parcel will be on the north side of S. Lowell Road at this intersection (Figure 1).
2. 2 Parcel Background
Prior to construction, the Site consisted primarily of open agricultural fields, used mainly in row crop
production for corn. Streams, ditches, and other stormwater conveyances on the Site had little to no
riparian buffer and were mowed in most locations on an annual basis. Tables 2, 3, and 4 in Appendix A
W North Fork Little River Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel Page 2
As -Built & Baseline Monitoring Report—April 2017

provide detailed information regarding the Project Activity and Reporting History, Project Contacts, and
Project Baseline Information and Attributes.
While the Site consisted of agricultural fields, there are some forested areas on the opposite side of
Lowell Road (Figure 3). This area is dominated by sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) but contains some
loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), black willow (Salix nigra), red maple (Acer rubrum), and sycamore (Platanus
occidentalis). This forested area is generally characterized as a Piedmont Bottomland Forest according to
the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NHP) classification system (Schafale, 2012). Table 5
includes a list of the species found in this ecosystem type and that have the potential for occurrence in
the forested area adjacent to the project.
2.3 Parcel Objectives
The main objective of the Site was to reduce nitrogen and phosphorous to Neuse River receiving waters
through converting the land use from active row crop agriculture to a riparian forest. The riparian
corridors will absorb nutrients, thereby preventing them from flowing into North Fork Little River and
farther downstream into the Neuse River.
3.0 Restoration Activities
Developing the Site for mitigation required altering current land use practices. The majority of the Site
had been maintained as a row crop agricultural field. Both the Neuse buffer and the nutrient offset
restoration areas were replanted with appropriate native tree species within the project corridors. The
trees were planted by hand and did not require any ripping of the soil. Planting was completed in
January 2017. A few small areas totaling 2.20 acres were missed during the original planting in January
2017. These areas were along stream and ditch banks and had existing shrubby vegetation on them, but
very few trees. The shrubby vegetation was mowed and planted with trees in March 2017.
The revegetation plan for the Site included planting of bare root trees and controlling invasive species
growth. Bare root trees selected for the Site were native bottomland hardwood species typical for
Piedmont communities as defined by Schafale (2012). Adjacent forested areas were also used as a
reference for the Site. Trees were planted at a density of 605.5 trees per acre on the Site. Table 6 lists
the tree species that were planted on the Site. Wildlands restored the Neuse River buffers and riparian
areas by planting trees from 0-200' from top of bank along all of the project streams and ditches.
4.0 Mitigation Potential
33.43 acres of land were protected with a conservation easement. Out of the 33.43 acres, 13.90 acres
were restored for Neuse River buffer credit, and 18.31 acres (41,618.99 lbs. -N and 2,680.58 lbs. -P) were
restored for nutrient offset credit. One point two two (1.22) acres will not generate mitigation credit
(0.43 acre of stream, 0.38 acre of ditch, 0.21 acre does not qualify for mitigation credit due to distance
from project features, 0.20 acre does not qualify for mitigation credit due to lack of diffuse flow entering
the feature). In general, riparian buffer restoration area widths on streams extend out to 100 feet from
top of bank for Neuse River buffer credits and out to 200 feet for nutrient offset credits. Riparian
restoration widths on ditches extend out to 50 feet from top of bank for Neuse River buffer credits and
out to 200 feet for nutrient offset credits. Maps detailing the credit generation are provided in Figure 3.
5.0 Monitoring Protocol & Success Criteria
Twenty-seven 10 -meter by 10 -meter vegetation monitoring plots were installed within the buffer
restoration area to measure the survival of the planted trees (Figure 4). The number of plots required
was determined in accordance with the Carolina Vegetative Sampling Protocol (CVS) Levels 1 & 2.
W North Fork Little River Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel Page 3
As -Built & Baseline Monitoring Report—April 2017

Vegetation assessments were conducted in January 2017 following the CVS Levels 1 & 2 Protocol for
Recording Vegetation, Version 4.0 (Lee et al. 2006). The as -built baseline data shows a planted tree
density of 605.5 stems per acre (Table 7). This is well above the 260 stems per acre required at the end
of year five monitoring. Each year a reference photo will be taken from the southwestern corner of each
veg plot, and all planted stems will be marked with flagging tape and recorded.
Annual monitoring activities will begin in the fall of 2017 and will commence in September or October
for the remainder of the monitoring period or until vegetation success criteria is met. Species
composition, density, and survival rates will be evaluated on an annual basis by plot for the entire site.
Wildlands shall submit to NCDWR an annual monitoring report, no later than December 31" of each year
for five consecutive years and will follow the terms and conditions of the Wildlands MBI signed on April
19, 2016. Success criteria within the Neuse buffer and nutrient offset restoration areas will be based on
the survival of a minimum density of 260 planted stems per acre after five years of monitoring.
6.0 Financial Assurance & Long Term Management
6.1 Financial Assurance
After completion of the restoration/construction, a separate Performance/Maintenance Bond will be
secured for 100% of the estimated cost to implement the monitoring and maintenance plan, but not less
than $100,000.00. The Performance/Maintenance Bond shall apply at the inception of the monitoring
period for a term of one year, to be extended annually for a minimum of five years. Upon NCDWR
approval, this may be lowered each year based on the adjusted cost to complete the monitoring. A copy
of the monitoring bond is provided in Appendix E.
6.2 Parcel Maintenance
Adaptive measures will be developed or appropriate remedial actions will be implemented in the event
that the Site or a specific component of the Site fails to achieve the success criteria. Site maintenance
will be performed to correct any identified problems that have a high likelihood of affecting project
success. Such items include but are not limited to excess tree mortality caused by fire, flooding, drought
or insects. Any actions implemented will be designed to achieve the success criteria and will include a
work schedule and updated monitoring criteria.

Re: Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset -- North Fork Little River
10119 S. Lowell Rd, Bahama, NC
Durham County
Dear John,
On June 13, 2013, Katie Merritt, with the Division of Water Resources (DWR), received a
request from you on behalf of Wildlands Engineering Inc., for a site visit near the above -
referenced site in the Lipper Falls Watershed to determine the potential for nutrient offset and
Neuse riparian buffer mitigation. On July 9, 2015, Ms. Merritt performed a stream buffer
determination and site assessment of the features onsite, which is more accurately shown in the
attached aerial signed by Ms. Merritt on August 5, 2013. 1f approved, mitigating this site could
provide riparian buffer credits and/or nutrient offset credits within the 8 -digit Hydrologic Unit
Code 03020201 of the Upper and Lower Falls Lake Watersheds.
Ms. Merritt's evaluation of the features for buffer and nutrient offset mitigation pursuant to Rule
15A NC AC 02B .0295 (effective November 1, 2015) and Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0240 is
provided below:
Features A, D and E
• Streams are subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule as determined by the stream buffer
determination letter issued for the subject site by the DWR on August 5, 2013.
• Land uses within the riparian areas (0 to +1- 200') adjacent to these streams were active
row crops. The riparian areas along these streams are viable for riparian restoration and
suitable for either buffer mitigation or nutrient offset credits.
• Features D and E connect with field ditches. Therefore, additional inforri-lation will be
required to ensure that diffuse flow is restored and maintained.
Features 13, C, F and G
• Features are ditches and are not subject to the Neuse Buffer rules 15A NCAC 02B .02.33.
• The depth of each ditch was not evaluated onsite.

• Land uses within the riparian areas (0 to +1- 200') adjacent to these ditches were active
row crops. The riparian areas along these streams are viable for riparian restoration and
suitable for either buffer mitigation or nutrient offset credits.
• The direction of surfacelstorwater water flow within each ditch was not evaluated onsite.
Therefore, DWR will need to know details on flaw direction within each ditch to the
streams. Features that are directly hydrologically connected to, and drain to the UTs
onsite are viable for riparian restoration to generate Nutrient Offset mitigation only.
A map showing the project site and the features is provided and signed by Ms. Merritt on August
5, 2015. For any areas depicted as not being viable for nutrient offset credit, one could propose a
different measure other than riparian restoration, along with supporting calculations and
sufficient detail to support estimates of load reduction, for review by the DWR to determine
viability for nutrient offset according to 15A NCAC 02B .0240. if proposing any ditch for
Neuse riparian buffer mitigation, the ditch must comply with all items listed in 15A NCAC 02B
.0295 (o) (8), which became effective on November 1, 2015.
Please contact Katie Merritt at (919)-807-6371 if you have any questions regarding this
correspondence.

Coleen, It, Sullins. Director

Rl- ] he Dik inion of Water Qua lity`s (DWQ's) stance on whether diffuse flow of stormwater through the newly restored buffer; on
mitigation sites should be a requirement. Diffuse flow% is a requirement for buffer restoration or enhancement in the Meuse River
Basin Buffer Rule 15A NCAC 02B.0242(9)(d)(iii). the Tar -Pamlico River Basin Buffer Rule 15A NCAC 02B.0260(9)(d)(iii), and the
Catawba River Basin Buffer Rule 15A NCAC 02B.0244 (9)(d)(iii).
Dililtse flow is a requirement for all sites in a buffered basin for buffer mitigation and for for sites providing nutrient offset credit as
well.
Current Polic According to the Mitigation rules in the Neuse. Tar -Pamlico and Catawba buffer rules, a grading plan must be
provided for buffer mitigation sites. In addition, those rules state that -The site shall be graded in a manner to ensure diffuse flow
through the riparian but%r".
Problem: The question has been raised as to whether stormwater carried by lateral ditches that enter buffered streams should provide
diffuse Iltaw prior to that stormwater entering the restored buffers.
Solution: The Neuse, Tar -Pamlico and Catawba buffer rules with respect to buffer mitigation sites contain a very clear requirement
that states that diffuse flow of stormwater must be maintained through the buffer. Unless otherwise approved by DWQ, all buffer
mitis anon sites must provide diffuse flow of stonnvrater from ditches and similar conveyances through the restored buffer.
Where such diffuse flow cannot be attained and where DWQ agrees that such treatment is not possible, deduction of buffer credit will
be calculated as follows:

A, B and C are angles. a, b, and c are distances (lengths)
DWQ believes that using an immediate drainage area extending at a 60 -degree angle from the point of discharge to the stream is a
reasonable approach to the issue of determining the area which is not draining through the restored buffer. To calculate the area of
buffer being "short-circuited" by the ditch, the area of the right triangles shown in the figure above must be determined.
a=50'
A = 30°
B = 60°
b=acot A
b = 50 (1.732)
b = 86.6' (87')
The area to be excluded from credit would be the area of the two right triangles:
Area = (a x b)/2
Area = (50 feet x 87feet)/2
Area = 2,175 SF
Total deducted area = 2,175 x 2 F 4,350 SF or 0.1 acres.
The example shown above assumes a buffer width of 50 feet from the top of bank (riparian buffer mitigation site). For nutrient offset
sites, credit can be generated out to 200 feet from the top of bank. The policy applies to sites with larger buffers as follows:

If a ditch leading to a buffered stream is buffered. there no credit is deducted from the stream buffer. If the upstream origin of the ditch
is within the buffer. no credit is deducted. Ifihe upstream origin of the ditch is not buffered (e.g. irthe ditch begins upstream offsite),
the crcdit deduction is applied to the most upstream portion of the ditch on the property.

Property for the conservation purposes, this Conservation Easement may only be extinguished, in
whole or in part, by judicial proceeding.

converted following an extinguishment or the exercise of eminent domain, Grantee shall be entitled to
the fair market value of this Conservation Easement. The parties stipulate that the fair market value of

attributable to improvements) by the ratio of the value of this easement at the time of this grant to the
value of the Property (without deduction for the value of this Conservation Easement) at the time of this
grant. The values at the time of this grant shall be the values used, or which would have been used, to
calculate a deduction for federal income tax purposes, pursuant to Section 170(h) of the Internal
Revenue Code (whether eligible or ineligible for such a deduction). Grantee shall use its share of the
