I INTRODUCTION
1.1 Project Description
Environmental Banc & Exchange, LLC ("EBX"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Resource Environmental
Solutions, is pleased to propose the RES Yadkin 01 Stream & Wetland Umbrella Mitigation Bank (the
"Bank"). The proposed umbrella structure of the Bank is designed to initially permit five mitigation sites,
and establish the umbrella banking instrument for future mitigation sites. The first five sites are Gideon,
Compass Point, Green Mesa, Twiman, and Scout (Figure 1— Yadkin 01 Service Area Map and Project
Site Locations). These sites are identified as having potential to help meet the compensatory mitigation
requirement for stream impacts in hydrologic unit 03040101 of the Yadkin River Basin.
1.2 Service Area
The Umbrella Bank will provide mitigation credits to offset unavoidable impacts to stream resources within
the Yadkin 01 River Basin (8 -digit USGS HUC 03040101).
Gideon and Compass Point are cool stream sites and can provide compensatory mitigation for cool stream
impacts. Green Mesa, Twiman, and Scout are warm water stream sites and can provide compensatory
mitigation for warm stream impacts. On a case-by-case basis cool stream credits can be used for warm
stream impacts as well. All the sites are primarily characterized by agriculture, forests, and low -intensity
residential areas. Land use at the sites is characterized by row crop production, pasture, and/or disturbed
forest.
Future sites may be developed in the bank that provide cold stream mitigation and wetland mitigation. On
a case-by-case basis cold stream credits can be used for cool stream impacts as well.
1.3 Identified Watershed Needs
The North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) develops River Basin Restoration Priorities
(RBRP) to guide its restoration activities within each of the state's 54 cataloging units. This Umbrella Bank
supports many of the Upper Yadkin River Basin Restoration Priorities (RBRP) goals and presents an
opportunity to restore and enhance over 29,800 linear feet of stream and riparian corridor. The proposed
Umbrella Bank will provide numerous ecological and water quality benefits within the Yadkin River Basin.
The Project will provide improvements to water quality, hydrologic function, and habitat.
As stated in the Upper Yadkin River RBRP report (2009), the following restoration and protection goals
are listed for the watershed:
1. Restoration of water quality and aquatic habitat in impaired stream segments;
2. Protection of high -resource value waters, including HQW, OR W, and WSW designated waters
and those containing large numbers of rare and endangered species (NHEOs);
3. Continuation of existing watershed restoration andprotection initiatives andprojects, including
efforts funded by Clean Water Management Trust Fund (CWMTF), DWQ's 319 Program, NC EEP,
Ag Cost Share Program (A CSP) and Community Conservation Assistance Program (CLAP);
RES Yadkin 01 Stream & Wetland PROSPECTUS
Umbrella Mitigation Bank 1 July 2017

4. Collaborative efforts with local resource agencies, land trusts and willing landowners to
implement new stream, riparian buffer and wetland restoration, enhancement and preservation
projects within TLWs;
S. Improved management of stormwater runoff (including the implementation of stormwater BMP
projects), especially in urban and suburban areas contributing to downstream degradation of
stream habitat and impairment of water quality; and
6. Implementation of agricultural BMPs in order to limit inputs of sediment, nutrients, and fecal
coliform to streams from active farming operations.

The proposed Umbrella 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 enhancement and
restoration.
1.4 Purpose and Objectives
The purpose of the proposed Bank is to generate compensatory mitigation credits for inclusion in the RES
Yadkin 01 Stream & Wetland Umbrella Mitigation Bank in the Yadkin River Basin.
RES Yadkin 01 Stream & Wetland PROSPECTUS
Umbrella Mitigation Bank 2 July 2017

The project goals address stressors identified in the watershed, and include the following:
• Nutrient removal,
• Sediment removal,
Invasive species treatment,
Filtration of runoff, and
Improved aquatic and terrestrial habitat.
The project goals will be addressed through the following project objectives:
• Treatment 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,
• Restoration of appropriate pattern, dimension, and profile in stream channels,
• Restoration of bottomland hardwood habitats,
• Enhancement of hydrology in existing wetlands, and
• Removal of impediments to aquatic passage and natural stream hydrology.
1.5 Technical Feasibility
The technical feasibility of the Bank is assured due to RES' extensive experience with stream and wetland
restoration and enhancement in North Carolina and throughout the Southeast. Examples of EBX's success
with stream restoration and enhancement include Neu -Con Umbrella Mitigation Bank sites: specifically,
the Marston, Nahunta, and Westbrook sites. The absence of fatal flaws such as hydrologic trespass, and the
absence of threatened and endangered species and their habitats mean the project is unlikely to be impeded
by resource issues, or by objections from landowners.

established in April 2001. Initial contract: 22,964 linear feet of stream mitigation units (SMU) sold to
North Carolina DOT based on credits produced from 3 stream restoration sites (initiated November
2000; sold all credits in November 2000; design initiated December 2001; construction completed on
all sites Spring 2005; monitoring completed on all sites in Fall 2009). Additional sites added starting in
2008.
Chesapeake Wetland Mitigation Bank (City of Chesapeake, Virginia): 545 -acre wetland mitigation
bank in the Lower James Watershed in Virginia. The service territory of the Bank includes RUCs
02080206 and 02080208. The Bank was established in July 2009. The remainder of the 1,156 -acre
property will be sold to the Great Dismal Wildlife Refuge (MBI finalized Spring 2009; construction
completed Spring 2011; in the monitoring phase).
Conoconnara Swamp Site (Halifax County, North Carolina): 87.0 WMU of wetland restoration and
5,050 SMU of stream restoration (initiated July 2005; construction completed Spring 2007; monitoring
completed Fall 2011).
3 MONITORING
Proposed monitoring for the initial five stream mitigation sites is presented below. Wetland mitigation
monitoring will be specified in site specific Instrument Modification and Mitigation Plan when/if wetland
sites are developed in the umbrella bank.
RES Yadkin 01 Stream & Wetland PROSPECTUS
Umbrella Mitigation Bank 4 July 2017

3.1 Stream and Vegetation
Stream stability and vegetation survival will be monitored across both the restoration and enhancement
areas of the sites to determine the success of the stream and buffer 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.
3.2 Reference Ecosystems
An appropriate local reference community will be identified and surveyed during the mitigation plan phase.
3.3 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 Interagency Review Team (IRT).
3.4 Visual Monitoring
Visual monitoring of all mitigation areas will be conducted a minimum of twice per monitoring year by
qualified individuals. The 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 taken at fixed representative locations to record each monitoring
event, as well as 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.
3.5 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 four bankfull events
documented in the seven-year monitoring period.
3.6 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
interim measures of vegetative success for the sites 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
RES Yadkin 01 Stream & Wetland PROSPECTUS
Umbrella Mitigation Bank 5 July 2017

that none become dominant or alter the desired community structure of the site. If necessary, EBX will
develop a species-specific control plan.
3.7 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, EBX 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).
4 BANK ESTABLISHMENT AND OPERATION
4.1 Establishment and Operation of the Bank
These Bank Parcels shall be established under the terms and conditions of the RES Yadkin 01 Stream &
Wetland Umbrella Mitigation Banking Instrument (LIMBI) made and entered into by EBX, USACE,
NCDWR, and other IRT agencies.
4.2 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 centerline of 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 1.

These reserve credits cannot be released prior to completion of year 4 monitoring.
A wetland credit release schedule will be presented in the Instrument Modification and Mitigation Plan
when/if wetland sites are developed in the umbrella bank.
4.2.1 Initial Allocation of Released Credits
The initial allocation of released credits, as specified in the mitigation plan can be released by the Corps in
consultation with the IRT with written approval of the DE upon satisfactory completion of the following
activities:
1. Approval of MBI 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;
RES Yadkin 01 Stream & Wetland PROSPECTUS
Umbrella Mitigation Bank 7 July 2017

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).
4.2.2 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.
4.3 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 his designee or to a standby
trust, which will be designated in the Mitigation Plan. 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 the form that ensures that the USACE receives notification at least 120 days in advance of any termination
or revocation.
4.4 Proposed Ownership and Long -Term Management
EBX, acting as the Bank Sponsor, will establish a Conservation Easement, and will monitor the Sites for a
minimum of seven years. This Prospectus provides detailed information regarding bank operation,
including long term management and annual monitoring activities, for review and approval by the
Interagency Review Team (IRT). Upon approval of a Site by the IRT, the site will be transferred to a long-
term land steward (to be determined in the Mitigation Plan) prior to the initial credit release. 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 Yadkin 01 Stream & Wetland Umbrella Mitigation Bank made and entered into
by EBX, USACE, NCDWR, and other IRT agencies.
4.5 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.

5 GIDEON SITE
5.1 Project Description
The Gideon Stream Mitigation Site (the "Site") is located in Surry County, approximately seven miles west
of Dobson, NC (Figures 1 and 2). The GPS coordinates of the site are 36.3967°N and -80.8584°W. The
Site consists of one parcel totaling 8.6 acres of conservation easement. The Site is located within a rural
area, and land use within the project area is comprised primarily of agricultural and forested land uses
(Figure 3).
The Site is located in the Yadkin River Basin within Cataloging Unit 03040101 and Targeted Local
Watershed (TLW) 03040101080020. Mill Creek and three unnamed tributaries begin at the eastern part of
the project area near the termination of Ed Nixon Road, and drain in a westerly direction across the Site.
The conceptual design presents the opportunity to provide up to 2,664 cool stream mitigation units (SMU).
This proposed Site will result in significant ecological improvements including water quality improvement,
habitat restoration, and a decrease in non -point source pollution from agricultural practices.
The proposed Gideon easement is located between two disjunct portions of the previously contracted DMS
full delivery site Little Sebastian. While each project could be developed independently of the other, the
combined easements will result in a much larger contiguous protected corridor and high quality aquatic
habitat.
5.2 Project Location
To access the Site from the county seat of Dobson, travel east approximately 6.3 miles on Zephyr Road.
Turn right onto Zephyr Mountain Park Road and continue for another 2.2 miles. Turn right onto Mountain
Park Road and continue straight as it becomes Union Hill Road (1.4 miles). Turn right onto Ed Nixon and
continue for 1 mile. The project site is located at the end of Ed Nixon Road.
5.3 Landownership
The land required for the construction, management, and stewardship of this mitigation project includes
portions of the parcels listed in Table 1. A landowner map is also provided in Figure 4. EBX has obtained
a legal option to develop the mitigation project and protect with a permanent conservation easement the
necessary area on the subject parcel.

5.4 Existing Conditions
5.4.1 Existing Jurisdictional Waters of the US
National Wetland Inventory (NWI) mapping does not depict any wetlands in the project area (Figure 5).
Detailed wetland delineation has not been performed. The Site will be delineated by RES and approved by
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) during the decision phase of the project. The stream channels
were classified using North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NC DWR) methodology. Stream calls
will be verified by NC DWR during the decision phase of the project.
5.4.2 Existing Reach Conditions
In general, all or portions of the project streams do not function to their full potential. Current conditions
demonstrate significant habitat degradation as a result of impacts from agriculture, historic land uses, and
water diversion. Site reaches were assessed using the NC Stream Assessment Method (NC SAM). NC SAM
rating forms are included in Appendix C, and results are summarized in Table 2. Morphological parameters
are located in Table 3.

Reach MC3-A
Reach MC3-A is a portion of Miller Creek located on the eastern portion of the project, directly adjacent
to the previously contracted Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) Little Sebastian Mitigation site. This
channel flows in a southwesterly direction across the site through active cattle pasture. Channel banks are
severely degraded due to the lack of riparian buffer and cattle access. Active widening and downcutting are
present throughout the reach. The drainage area for the reach is approximately 2,921 acres.
Reach MC3-B
Reach MC3-13 is a portion of Miller Creek in the southwest corner of the project site that connects directly
to the previously contracted DMS Little Sebastian Mitigation site. Existing land use along this reach is
mostly wooded, although cattle have access throughout. The reach is fairly stable with an average width of
approximately 30 feet and depths ranging from three to six feet. The drainage area for the reach is
approximately 3,191 acres.
Reach JN4
Reach JN4 is located in the southeast corner of the project area and flows in an easterly direction towards
MC3-A. The reach is mostly wooded along the right bank with a mixture of sparse vegetation and pasture
along the left bank. Bed and bank stability are low throughout the reach due to heavy cattle access. The
RES Yadkin 01 Stream & Wetland PROSPECTUS

average channel width is approximately seven feet with an average depth of around 0.5 feet. The drainage
area for the reach is approximately 39 acres.
Reach JN5
Reach JN5 is located along the southernmost portion of the project site and flows in a northerly direction
into reach JN4. The reach is mostly wooded along the right bank with a mixture of sparse vegetation and
pasture along the left bank. Bed and bank stability are low throughout the reach due to heavy cattle access.
The average channel width is approximately 11.4 feet with an average depth of around 0.7 feet. The
drainage area for the reach is approximately 159 acres.
Reach JN6
Reach JN6 is located in the northwest portion of the project area and flows in a southerly direction towards
Mill Creek. The upper portion of the reach flows through a fenced, wooded buffer and is fairly stable. The
channel continues through a wooded buffer, but with less bed and bank stability due to regular cattle
intrusion. The average channel width is approximately seven feet with an average depth of around 1 foot.
The drainage area for this section of the reach is approximately 22 acres. Reach JN6 continues south along
the edge of a cattle pasture with little to no vegetated buffer. Channel width through this section is
approximately eight feet with an average depth of one foot. The drainage area for this section is
approximately 38 acres.

5.4.3 Soil Survey
5.4.3.1 General Soil Characteristics
The Project is located within the Piedmont physiographic province, which consists of generally rolling hills
and ridges with a few hundred feet of elevation difference between the hills and valleys. Existing soil
information for the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) shows the property is located within
the Woolwine-Fairvew soil association. The association is found on Piedmont uplands. It is made up of
gently sloping to steep, well drained soils that have a loamy surface layer and a clayey subsoil. Woolwine-
Fairview soil association is generally characterized by interfluves, ridges, and low hills scattered throughout
the county.
RES Yadkin 01 Stream & Wetland PROSPECTUS
Umbrella Mitigation Bank 11 July 2017

5.4.3.2 Site Mapped Soil Series
Site soils are mapped by the NRCS as Arkaqua loam, Colvard and Suches soils, and Woolwine-Fairview-
Westfield complex within the easement (Figure 6). Arkaqua loam is a frequently flooded, somewhat poorly
drained soil that is found on drainageways on valleys. Colvard and Suches is a well -drained soil that is
found on natural levees on floodplains. Woolwine-Fair-Westfield complex soils are stony, well drained,
and occur on 15 to 45 percent slopes on ridges (Table 4).

5.4.4 Endangered/Threatened Species
The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) database (accessed 9 February 2017) lists one endangered
species for Surry County, North Carolina: Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii), and two
threatened species: Northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) and Small whorled pogonia (Istoria
medeoloides). 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 Site. Results from NHP indicated that there are known occurrences of the Brook floater (Alasmidonta
varicose) in the Mitchell River approximately 0.5 miles downstream of the project area. 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.

5.4.5 Vegetation
The Site is characterized primarily by cattle pasture with areas of disturbed riparian forest. Vegetation
around the unbuffered stream reaches (MC3) is primarily composed of herbaceous vegetation and scattered
trees. In general, these riparian zones are disturbed due to regular cattle access. Forested riparian areas are
primarily narrow fringe with common canopy species including various oak species (Quercus spp.),
American holly (Ilex opaca), eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana), and American beech (Fagus
grandifolia). Sub -canopy species include great laurel (Rhododendron maximum), mountain laurel (Kalmia
latifolia), and hazel alder (Alnus serrulata). The herbaceous community is highly disturbed due to
overgrazing. Some exotics were noted, including Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense).
5.4.6 Cultural Resources
A review of North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) GIS Web Service (accessed 27 June
2017) 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.
5.4.7 Constraints
There are no significant hydrologic constraints to the project. No utility lines are present. The Site is located
within five miles of a privately owned and operated airstrip (Royals). No Commercial or General Aviation
facilities are within five miles of the proposed project. The Project includes a portion of Mill Creek (MC -
3A) within the mapped FEMA 100 -year floodplain (Figure 7). No regulated floodway is mapped. The
design and permitting of the mitigation work will include coordination with the Surry County Floodplain
Administrator and a No -Rise Certification or CLOMR/LOMR will be secured. Construction access along
the northern portion of the site may be constrained by existing mature hardwood vegetation. A tree survey
will be conducted to design the mitigation measures and access to minimize impacts to significant specimen
trees.
5.5 Conceptual Mitigation Plan
The Site presents the opportunity to provide 2,664 cool stream mitigation units (SMUs). These will be
derived from a combination of stream restoration, enhancement, and preservation. Table 6 details the
mitigation types and SMUs generated. The proposed conceptual design plan is shown in Figure 8.
RES Yadkin 01 Stream & Wetland PROSPECTUS
Umbrella Mitigation Bank 13 July 2017

Table 6. Gideon Proposed Mitigation Summary
5.5.1 Stream Restoration, Enhancement, and Preservation
Current stream conditions along the proposed restoration reaches demonstrate significant habitat
degradation as a result of impacts from agricultural land use, water diversion, and cattle intrusion.
Additionally, the riparian buffer is in poor condition throughout most of the project area.
Stream restoration efforts will be accomplished through a combination of analytical and analog and/or
reference reach -based design methods. The result will be a combination of Priority Level I Restoration,
Enhancement Level I, and Stream Preservation for the project area. The cross-section geometry, planform,
and profile will be modified to restore appropriate capacity and sinuosity to the channelized streams. The
Priority Level I stream restoration will incorporate the design of a single -thread meandering channel with
parameters based on data taken from appropriate regional curve tables for the Piedmont of North Carolina
and from reference sites and hydrologic analyses described herein.
Priority Level I Restoration is proposed for Reaches MC -3A and JN -6C. The design approach for these
reaches will include lifting the channels back to their historic elevations and reconnecting them to the
floodplain. Because the buffer along these reaches is devoid of significant woody vegetation, woody debris
will be installed along the bed to improve in -stream habitat. 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. Analytical design techniques will also be a crucial element of the project and will
be used to determine the design discharge and to verify the design as a whole. Sections of abandoned stream
channels 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 in order to balance on-site cut/fill
quantities. A minimum 30 -foot buffer will be established and planted with native riparian vegetation.
Stream Enhancement Level II is proposed for Reaches JN -4, JN -5, and JN -6B. These areas are moderately
stable, but would benefit greatly from spot stabilization along the banks in areas where cattle have accessed
the stream. The design approach on these reaches will focus on stabilization along the banks of the channel,
bedform diversity, cattle fencing, and riparian buffer restoration. Stabilization activities will include
installing grade control structures and installing woody debris structures to improve hydraulic efficiency
and aquatic habitat. All disturbed areas within the proposed buffer will be planted with native riparian
vegetation.

6 COMPASS POINT SITE
6.1 Project Description
The Compass Point Site (the "Site") is located in Yadkin County approximately six miles southwest of
Boonville, NC (Figures 1 and 2). The GPS coordinates of the site are 36.269624°N and -80.638420°W.
The Site contains one parcel totaling 13.73 -acres of conservation easement. The Site is located within a
rural area, and land use within the project area is comprised primarily of agricultural and forested land uses
(Figure 3).
The Site is located within the Yadkin River Basin (8 -digit USGS HUC 03040101, 12 -digit USGS
030401011001), and involves the restoration and enhancement of three unnamed tributaries that have been
disturbed by agricultural activities and cattle grazing. The conceptual design presents the opportunity to
provide up to 3,709 cool stream mitigation units (SMU). This proposed Site will result in significant
ecological improvements including water quality improvement, habitat restoration, and a decrease in non -
point source pollution from agricultural practices.
6.2 Project Location
To access the Site from the town of Boonville, travel east on E. Main Street, turn left on Rockford Road,
turn right on to Richmond Hill Church Road, then turn right on to Pulliam Road. The project area is about
a mile up Pulliam Road.
6.3 Landownership
The land required for the construction, management, and stewardship of this mitigation project includes
portions of the parcels listed in Table 1. A landowner map is also provided in Figure 4. EBX has obtained
a legal option to develop the mitigation project and protect with a permanent conservation easement the
necessary area on the subject parcel.

Reach DW1 begins just downstream of an existing power line easement in the northern end of the project
and flows in a southerly direction before draining directly to the Yadkin River. Cattle have access to the
entire reach and the buffer condition varies from open pasture to mostly wooded. The channel is highly
incised and over -widened throughout. Channel width ranges from 15 to 30 feet and channel depth ranges
from one to four feet near the top, and as wide as deep as ten feet near the bottom. The drainage area for
the reach is approximately 250 acres.
Reach DW2
Reach DW2 is a small channel located in the southwest portion of the project that flows to the east before
its confluence with Reach DW I. Existing land use along this reach is pasture and there are no mature trees
within the buffer. The reach is fairly stable with an average channel width of three feet and an average
channel depth of 0.5 feet. The drainage area for the reach is approximately 99 acres.
Reach DW6
Reach DW6 begins in the southeastern portion of the project and flows to the west before its confluence
with Reach DW L A powerline easement runs parallel to the south. Existing land use along this reach is
pasture and there are no mature trees within the buffer. The average channel width is five to seven feet with
an average channel depth of 0.5 feet. The drainage area for the reach is approximately 51 acres.

6.4.4 Endangered/Threatened Species
Plants and animals with a federal classification of endangered or threatened are protected under provisions
of Sections 7 and 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. The US Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) database (updated 28 June 2017) lists one threatened species for Yadkin County, North Carolina:
Northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) (Table 5). The Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is
protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGPA) and prohibits take of bald and golden
eagles. 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 were mapped within one mile
of the project site. Results from NHP indicate that there are no known occurrences of state threatened or
endangered species within a one -mile radius of the project area. Based on initial site investigations, no
impacts to state protected species are anticipated as a result of the proposed project.
The proposed project offers some potential to improve or create suitable habitat for several Federal Species
of Concern. Habitat may be improved or created for species that require riverine habitat by improving water
quality, in -stream and near -stream forage, and providing stable conditions not subject to regular
maintenance. The decision phase of the project will include USFWS coordination to confirm these findings.

6.4.5 Vegetation
The Site is characterized primarily by disturbed forest and agricultural land, including row crops and
pasture. Stream riparian buffers on-site range from devoid to intact. Vegetation associated with devoid and
insufficient buffers is primarily composed of herbaceous vegetation and vines interspersed with trees.
Exotic invasive species are also present and are locally dense in some areas. In general, these riparian zones
are disturbed due to regular land management activities related to row -crop and cattle production. Stream
channels with intact riparian buffers demonstrate more developed vegetation strata and higher biodiversity.
However, these areas are still disturbed by frequent cattle access and presence of exotic invasive species.
Tree species present throughout the Site include tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), American sycamore
(Platanus occidentalis), American beech (Fagus grandifolia), eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana),
black walnut (Juglans nigra), American holly (Ilex opaca), oaks (Quercus spp.), pines (Pinus spp.),
musclewood (Carpinus caroliniana), hazel alder (Alnus serrulata), black willow (Salix nigra), northern
catalpa (Catalpa speciosa), eastern redbud (Cercis canadensis), river birch (Betula nigra), and flowering

dogwood (Cornus florida). Understory species include dogfennel (Eupatorium capillifolium), blackberry
(Rubus argutus), roundleaf greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia), laurel greenbrier (Smilax laurifolia), poison
ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), and trumpet creeper (Campsis radicans). Exotic invasive species include
Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) and Nepalese browntop (Microstegium vimineum).
6.4.6 Cultural Resources
Cultural resources include historic and archeological resources located in or near the project area. RES
completed a preliminary survey of cultural resources to determine potential project impacts. A review of
the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) GIS Web Service database revealed no
historic sites within a half -mile of the proposed project area.
RES will submit a request to the NC State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) to search records to
determine the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance that may be
affected by the Site.
6.4.7 Constraints
There are no major constraints to construction of the Site. The Site is readily accessible from Richmond
Hill Church Road and Pulliam Road. In the northern portion of the project area, toward the lower end of
Reach DWI -B, an existing road begins to run parallel to the stream for approximately 1,000 feet. There are
also two existing ford crossings along Reach DWI, which will be incorporated into the restoration design.
In addition, there are two existing powerline easements and one pond on-site. Inspection of the FEMA
Flood Insurance Rate Map indicates that a portion of Reach DWI and associated floodplains are located
within a Zone AE flood area, but no portion of the project is located within a FEMA floodway. A hydrologic
analysis will be completed on the existing and proposed conditions of this reach. It is not anticipated that a
No -Rise or CLOMR will need to be prepared for the site (Figure 7).
6.5 Conceptual Mitigation Plan
The Site presents the opportunity to provide 3,709 cool stream mitigation units (SMUs). These will be
derived from stream restoration and enhancement. Table 6 details the mitigation types and SMUs
generated. SMU totals may be adjusted using the most recent USACE non-standard buffer with guidance.
The proposed conceptual design plan is shown in Figure 8.

6.5.1 Stream Restoration and Enhancement
Current stream conditions along the proposed restoration reaches demonstrate significant habitat
degradation as a result of impacts from agricultural land use, water diversion, and existing impoundments.
Additionally, the riparian buffer is in poor condition throughout the project area.
Stream restoration efforts will be accomplished through a combination of analytical and analog and/or
reference reach -based design methods. The result will be a combination of Priority Level I Restoration and
Enhancement Levels II and III for the project area. The cross-section geometry, planform, and profile will
be modified to restore appropriate capacity and sinuosity to the channelized streams. The Priority Level I
stream restoration will incorporate the design of a single -thread meandering channel, with parameters based
on data taken from appropriate regional curve tables for the Piedmont of North Carolina and from reference
sites and hydrologic analyses described herein.
Priority Level I Restoration is proposed for Reaches DWI -A and DWI -C. The design approach for these
reaches will include meandering the proposed channel within the natural valley, excavating a floodplain
bench, and backfilling the existing stream. A minimum 50 -foot buffer will be established and planted with
native riparian vegetation.
Stream Enhancement Level III is proposed for Reach DWI -D. The design approach on this reach will focus
on riparian buffer restoration and cattle exclusion. Significant areas of invasive species growth will be
treated and fencing will be installed to exclude all livestock.
Stream Enhancement Level II is proposed for Reaches DWI -B, DW2, and DW6. The design approach on
these reaches will focus on widening and improving the riparian buffer through native vegetation planting
and treatment of invasive species, incorporating minimal grading to address minor erosional areas, and
installing fencing to exclude all livestock from streams.

7 GREEN MESA SITE
7.1 Project Description
The Green Mesa Site (the "Site") is located in Yadkin County approximately two miles southwest of
Boonville, NC (Figures 1 and 2). The GPS coordinates of the site are 36.213246°N and -80.718195°W.
The Site contains six parcels totaling 19.96 -acres of conservation easement. The Site is located within a
rural area, and land use within the project area is comprised primarily of agricultural and forested land uses
(Figure 3).
The Site is located within the Yadkin River Basin (8 -digit USGS I-1UC 03040101, 12 -digit USGS
030401011102), and involves the restoration and enhancement of six unnamed tributaries that have been
disturbed by agricultural activities and cattle grazing. The conceptual design presents the opportunity to
provide up to 3,529 warm Stream Mitigation Units (SMU). This proposed Site will result in significant
ecological improvements including water quality improvement, habitat restoration, and a decrease in non -
point source pollution from agricultural practices.
7.2 Project Location
To access the Site from the town of Boonville, travel south approximately 1.5 miles on Baptist Church
Road, and the property will be on the left.
7.3 Green Mesa Landownership
The land required for the construction, management, and stewardship of this mitigation project includes
portions of the parcels listed in Table 1. A landowner map is also provided in Figure 4. EBX has obtained
legal options to develop the mitigation project and protect with a permanent conservation easements the
necessary areas on the subject parcels.

7.4.1 Existing Jurisdictional Waters of the US
National Wetland Inventory (NWI) mapping does not depict any wetlands in the project area with the
exception of one farm pond and associated fringe wetlands (Figure 5). Detailed wetland delineation has
not been performed. The site will be delineated by RES and approved by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) during the decision phase of the project. The stream channels were classified using North
Carolina Division of Water Resources (NC DWR) methodology. Stream calls will be verified by NC DWR
during the decision phase of the project.

7.4.2 Existing Reach Conditions
In general, all or portions of the project streams do not function to their full potential. Current conditions
demonstrate significant habitat degradation as a result of impacts from agriculture, historic land uses, and
water diversion. Site reaches were assessed using the NC Stream Assessment Method (NC SAM). NC SAM
rating forms are included in Appendix C, and results are summarized in Table 2. Morphological parameters
are located in Table 3.

Reach FF1A/B and FF2
Reach FF1-A begins at the property line in the southwest corner and flows to the east. The drainage area at
the downstream end is over 500 acres. Bed material in the channel is primarily bedrock along the upper
section of the reach before transition to a cobble, gravel, and sand dominated system. Cattle have access to
the entire reach and there is evidence of an old stone dam. Buffer is mostly minimal with a few trees along
the banks. Reach FF 1-B is a more stable channel with an intact buffer that drains to the pond on the property.
There is obvious evidence of beaver activity at the downstream portion of this reach and riparian wetlands
are present. Average channel width is roughly 20 feet and average channel depth is three to six feet. Reach
FF2 is a smaller channel with an intact riparian buffer that drains directly to Reach FF 1-A. Average channel
width is four to six feet and the average depth is three feet.
Reach FF1-C/D and FF5
Reach FF1-C begins below the dam of the existing pond onsite and flows through an open cattle pasture
with minimal tree cover along the channel until tying in with a roadside ditch/channel and flowing to the
east. Reach FF1-D starts just south of the Baptist Church Road crossing and flows to the east. This reach is
extremely incised and over -widened. The buffer is devoid of a wooded buffer. Average channel width is
over 20 feet and average channel depth is three to five feet. The drainage area is over 900 acres.
Reach FF3AB
Reach FF3 begins at the property line in the southern portion of the project and flows south towards the
existing pond on the property. The drainage area is roughly 65 acres at the downstream limits. Reach FF3-
A has obvious signs of bank erosion and instability throughout and there is minimal buffer in areas along
the right bank. Average width is approximately ten feet with an average depth of four feet. Reach FF3-B
begins just after a road crossing and is a much more stable section of channel with intact riparian buffer
throughout. Average width is approximately four feet with an average depth of 0.8 feet.
RES Yadkin 01 Stream & Wetland PROSPECTUS
Umbrella Mitigation Bank 22 July 2017

Reach FF4
Reach FF4 begins at the property boundary and is located in the northern section of the property above
Baptist Church Road. The existing buffer along the upper section is row crop up to the banks of the channel.
After crossing an existing power easement, the buffer becomes cattle pasture and active signs of erosion
and down -cutting become readily apparent.

7.4.4 Endangered/Threatened Species
Plants and animals with a federal classification of endangered or threatened are protected under provisions
of Sections 7 and 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. The US Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) database (updated 28 June 2017) lists one threatened species for Yadkin County, North Carolina:
Northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) (Table 5). The Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is
protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGPA) and prohibits take of bald and golden
eagles. 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 were mapped within one mile
of the project site. Results from NHP indicate that there are no known occurrences of state threatened or
endangered species within a one -mile radius of the project area. Based on initial site investigations, no
impacts to state protected species are anticipated as a result of the proposed project.
The proposed project offers some potential to improve or create suitable habitat for several Federal Species
of Concern. Habitat may be improved or created for species that require riverine habitat by improving water
quality, in -stream and near -stream forage, and providing stable conditions not subject to regular
maintenance. The decision phase of the project will include USFWS coordination to confirm these findings.

Umbrella Mitigation Bank 24 July 2017

7.4.5 Vegetation
The Site is characterized primarily by agricultural land, including row crops, pasture, and some areas of
disturbed riparian forest. Many of the streams and ponds on-site lack sufficient riparian buffers, while some
reaches are devoid of buffers altogether. Vegetation associated with these areas is primarily composed of
herbaceous vegetation and vines interspersed with trees. Exotic invasive species are also present and are
locally dense in some areas. In general, these riparian zones are disturbed due to regular land management
activities related to row -crop and cattle production. The Site also includes stream channels with sufficiently
sized riparian buffers that demonstrate more developed vegetation strata and higher biodiversity. However,
these areas are still disturbed by frequent cattle access and presence of exotic invasive species.
Tree Species present throughout the site include red maple (Acer rubrum), tulip poplar (Liriodendron
tulipifera), American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), oaks (Quercus spp.), hickories (Carya spp.), black
walnut (Juglans nigra), American holly (Ilex opaca), boxelder (Acer negundo), black willow (Salix nigra),
musclewood (Carpinus carolinia), and American elm (Ulmus americana). Herbaceous and vine species
present at the site include blackberry (Rubus argutus), dogfennel (Eupatorium capillifolium), jewelweed
(impatiens capensis), roundleaf greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia), laurel greenbrier (Smilax laurifolia),
poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), and Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia). Exotic invasive
species include Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), and tree of
heaven (Ailanthus altissima).
7.4.6 Cultural Resources
Cultural resources include historic and archeological resources located in or near the project area. RES
completed a preliminary survey of cultural resources to determine potential project impacts. A review of
the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) GIS Web Service database revealed no
historic sites on the project parcels.
RES will submit a request to the NC State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) to search records to
determine the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance that may be
affected by the Green Mesa Mitigation Site.
7.4.7 Constraints
The Site is readily accessible from Baptist Church Road. There one existing road crossing at Green Mesa
Road and the restoration design will also include this crossing. There is currently a high voltage powerline
easement that runs through parts of Reaches FF1-D and FF4 on the northern half of the property that will
be excluded from the conservation easement. The anticipated design will allow for adequate buffers and
cross the powerline easement at a near perpendicular angle to minimize impacts to riparian vegetation.
Inspection of the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map indicates that none of the projects streams nor
associated floodplains are located within a Zone AE flood area or FEMA floodway. A hydrologic analysis
will be completed on the existing and proposed conditions of this reach. It is not anticipated that a No -Rise
or a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) will need to be prepared for the site (Figure 7).
7.5 Conceptual Mitigation Plan - Green Mesa
The Site presents the opportunity to provide 3,531 warm stream mitigation units (SMUs). These will be
derived from stream restoration, enhancement, and preservation. Table 6 details the mitigation types and
RES Yadkin 01 Stream & Wetland PROSPECTUS

7.5.1 Stream Restoration, Enhancement, and Preservation
Current stream conditions along the proposed restoration reaches demonstrate significant habitat
degradation as a result of impacts from agricultural land use, water diversion, and existing impoundments.
Additionally, the riparian buffer is in poor condition throughout the project area.
Stream restoration efforts will be accomplished through a combination of analytical and analog and/or
reference reach -based design methods. The result will be a combination of Priority Level I Restoration,
Enhancement Levels I, 11, and III, and Stream Preservation for the project area. The cross-section geometry,
planform, and profile will be modified to restore appropriate capacity and sinuosity to the channelized
streams. The Priority Level I stream restoration will incorporate the design of a single -thread meandering
channel, with parameters based on data taken from appropriate regional curve tables for the Piedmont of
North Carolina and from reference sites and hydrologic analyses described herein. The existing powerline
easement is a design constraint that will also be addressed. It is anticipated the channel will be moved to
allow for adequate riparian buffers and cross the powerline easement at near perpendicular angles to
minimize impacts to riparian vegetation.
Priority Level I Restoration is proposed for Reaches FF4 and FF1-D. The design approach for these reaches
will include meandering the proposed channel within the natural valley, excavating a floodplain bench, and
backfilling the existing stream. A minimum 50 -foot buffer will be established and planted with native
riparian vegetation.
Stream Enhancement Level I is proposed for Reach FF3A. The design approach on this reach will focus on
bank stabilization, improving bedform diversity, and riparian buffer restoration. Stabilization activities will
include installing grade control structures and installing woody debris structures to improve hydraulic
efficiency and aquatic habitat. The riparian buffer along the right bank will also be re-established and
planted with native riparian vegetation. Stream Enhancement Level 11 is proposed for Reaches FF1-A and
RES Yadkin 01 Stream & Wetland PROSPECTUS
Umbrella Mitigation Bank 26 July 2017

FF 1-C. Livestock will be excluded with fencing installed along the easement boundary. All disturbed areas
within the proposed buffer will be planted with native riparian vegetation.
Stream Enhancement Level III is proposed for Reaches FF1-B, FF3-B, and FF5. The channels are
moderately stable throughout the proposed easement, but their riparian zones lack sufficient buffers and
contain significant concentrations of exotic invasive species. Therefore, significant areas of invasive species
growth will be treated and a minimum 50 -foot buffer will be planted with native vegetation. Stream
Preservation is proposed for Reach FF2. The channel is stable throughout the easement and provides a
variety of aquatic habitats. The riparian buffer is an intact hardwood forest. The proposed easement will
extend a minimum of 100 feet outward from the stream channel.

8 TWINIAN SITE
8.1 Project Description
The Twiman Site (the "Site") is located in Yadkin County approximately two miles southeast of Boonville,
NC (Figures 1 and 2). The GPS coordinates of the site are 36.213074°N and -80.690238°W. The Site
contains ten parcels totaling 32.06 -acres of conservation easement. The Site is located within a rural area,
and land use within the project area is comprised primarily of agricultural and forested land uses (Figure
3).
The Site is located within the Yadkin River Basin (8 -digit USGS 13UC 03040101, 12 -digit USGS
030401011102), and involves the restoration and enhancement of eight unnamed tributaries that have been
disturbed by agricultural activities and cattle grazing. The conceptual design presents the opportunity to
provide up to 5,766 warm stream mitigation units (SMU). This proposed Site will result in significant
ecological improvements including water quality improvement, habitat restoration, and a decrease in non -
point source pollution from agricultural practices.
8.2 Project Location
To access the Site from the town of Boonville, travel east approximately 1.1 miles on E Main Street, and
turn right onto Reece Road. The project is located about 1.4 miles down Reece Road on the right.
8.3 Landownership
The land required for the construction, management, and stewardship of this mitigation project includes
portions of the parcels listed in Table 1. A landowner map is also provided in Figure 4. EBX has obtained
legal options to develop the mitigation project and protect with a permanent conservation easements the
necessary areas on the subject parcels.

8.4 Existing Conditions
8.4.1 Existing Jurisdictional Waters of the US
National Wetland Inventory (NWI) mapping does not depict any wetlands in the project area (Figure 5).
Detailed wetland delineation has not been performed. The site will be delineated by RES and approved by
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) during the decision phase of the project. The stream channels
were classified using North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NC DWR) methodology. Stream calls
will be verified by NC DWR during the decision phase of the project. Site reaches were assessed using the
NC Stream Assessment Method (NC SAM). NC SAM rating forms are included in Appendix C, and results
are summarized in Table 2.

8.4.2 Existing Reach Conditions
In general, all or portions of the project streams do not function to their full potential. Current conditions
demonstrate significant habitat degradation as a result of impacts from agriculture, historic land uses, and
water diversion. Morphological parameters are located in Table 3.
Reach TC1-A/B and Reach TC4
Reach TCI -A is large actively eroding channel in the northwest portion of the project that flows to the
south. This reach has minimal riparian buffer throughout its length and existing land use is predominantly
pasture. Average channel width varies between 20-30 feet and average depth varies between four to six
feet. The drainage area of the reach is over 700 acres. Reach TCI -B begins below Reece Road and has a
very minimal riparian buffer with the exception of a narrow strip of trees along each bank. Existing land
use is predominantly row -crops. Average bank width is 15-20 feet and average depth of the channel is five
to eight feet. The drainage area is over 800 acres. Reach TC4 is a large over -sized channel with riparian
buffer widths ranging from 15-40 feet wide and many invasive species present within the buffer. Channel
dimensions are very similar to Reach TC1-B.
Reach TC2
Reach TC2-A begins in the northernmost section of the property and flows to the southwest before draining
to Reach TC 1-A. The channel is slightly oversized with concentrated areas of active erosion and hoof shear.
Existing land use is pasture with minimal trees along the banks. Average bank width is six to eight feet and
RES Yadkin 01 Stream & Wetland PROSPECTUS
Umbrella Mitigation Bank 29 July 2017

average channel depth is two to three feet. Reach TC2-B begins above an existing farm pond before it
outlets to an oversized channel that eventually drains to Reach TCI -A. Below the pond, the channel width
is 10-12 feet and the average depth is three feet. The drainage area at the downstream end is 95 acres.
Reach TC3
Reach TC3 begins in a wooded valley before draining to an existing farm pond and eventually flowing to
Reach TCI -A. Existing land use surrounding the pond is active pasture. Average channel dimensions of
Reach TC3 are a width of five to six feet and a depth of one to two feet. The drainage area is 28 acres.
Reach TCS, TC6, TC7
Reach TC5 begins immediately downstream of a large impoundment on the eastern side of the property.
The current surrounding land use is wooded and invasives are present throughout. The reach crosses
Abraham Road before flowing through a pasture with minimal tree cover. Average channel width is 15-20
feet and average depth is six to eight feet. The drainage area is over 1,000 acres. Reach TC6 is a fairly wide
and deep gully in an existing pasture north of Abraham Road. The channel is 10-12 feet wide on average
and six to seven feet deep. The drainage area is approximately 20 acres. Reach TC7 is an intermittent
channel that originates below the existing impoundment south of Abraham Road. There is a minimal buffer
and invasives are present throughout.

8.4.3 Soil Survey
8.4.3.1 General Soil Characteristics
The Site is located within the Piedmont Physiographic region, specifically within the Northern Inner
Piedmont Ecoregion. The geology of the area is comprised of "gneiss, granite, and schist, on broad, gently
rolling ridges". The Soil Survey of Yadkin County, North Carolina (USDA, 1962) lists the soils within the
property from the Cecil-Appling association.
8.4.3.2 Site Mapped Soil Series
The Yadkin County Soil Survey shows seventeen mapping units across the project site. Map units include
ten soil series (Figure 3). The soil series found on the site are described below and summarized in Table

8.4.4 Endangered/Threatened Species
Plants and animals with a federal classification of endangered or threatened are protected under provisions
of Sections 7 and 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. The US Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) database (updated 28 June 2017) lists one threatened species for Yadkin County, North Carolina:
Northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) (Table 5). The Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is
protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGPA) and prohibits take of bald and golden
eagles. 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 were mapped within one mile
of the project site. Results from NHP indicate that there are no known occurrences of state threatened or
endangered species within a one -mile radius of the project area. Based on initial site investigations, no
impacts to state protected species are anticipated as a result of the proposed project.
The proposed project offers some potential to improve or create suitable habitat for several Federal Species
of Concern. Habitat may be improved or created for species that require riverine habitat by improving water
quality, in -stream and near -stream forage, and providing stable conditions not subject to regular
maintenance. The decision phase of the project will include USFWS coordination to confirm these findings.

8.4.5 Vegetation
The Site is characterized primarily by agricultural land, including row crops, pasture, and some areas of
disturbed riparian forest. Many of the streams and ponds on-site lack sufficient riparian buffers, while some
reaches are devoid of buffers altogether. Vegetation associated with these areas is primarily composed of
herbaceous vegetation and vines interspersed with trees. Exotic invasive species are also present and are
locally dense in some areas. In general, these riparian zones are disturbed due to regular land management
activities related to row -crop and cattle production. The Site also includes stream channels with sufficiently
sized riparian buffers that demonstrate more developed vegetation strata and higher biodiversity. However,
these areas are still disturbed by frequent cattle access and presence of exotic invasive species.
Tree species present throughout the site include red maple (Acer rubrum), tulip poplar (Liriodendron
tulipifera), American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), hickories
(Carya spp.), black walnut (Juglans nigra), American holly (Ilex opaca), white oak (Quercus alba),
boxelder (Acer negundo), hazel alder (Alnus serrulata), black willow (Salix nigra), musclewood (Carpinus

carolinia), northern catalpa (Catalpa speciosa), river birch (Betula nigra), persimmon (Diospyros
virginiana), and sourwood (Oxydendron arboreum). Understory species include blackberry (Rubus
argutus), roundleaf greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia), laurel greenbrier (Smilax laurifolia), muscadine (Vitis
rotundifolia), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), and trumpet creeper (Campsis radicans). Exotic
invasive species include Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), Nepalese browntop (Microstegium vimineum),
silktree (Albizia julibrissin), multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora), and tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima).
8.4.6 Cultural Resources
Cultural resources include historic and archeological resources located in or near the project area. RES
completed a preliminary survey of cultural resources to determine potential project impacts. A review of
the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) GIS Web Service database revealed no
historic sites within a half -mile of the proposed project area.
RES will submit a request to the NC State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) to search records to
determine the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance that may be
affected by the Twiman Mitigation Site.
8.4.7 Constraints
There are no major constraints to construction of the Site. The Site is readily accessible from Abraham
Road, Reece Road, and Chico Lane. There is one existing crossing at Abraham Road. In addition, there are
two ponds located within proposed restoration reaches. Inspection of the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map
indicates that a portion of the project reaches and associated floodplains are located within a Zone AE flood
area, but no portion of the project is located within a FEMA floodway. A hydrologic analysis will be
completed on the existing and proposed conditions of this reach. It is not anticipated that a No -Rise or
CLOMR will need to be prepared for the site (Figure 7).
8.5 Conceptual Mitigation Plan
The Site presents the opportunity to provide 5,766 warm stream mitigation units (SMUs). These will be
derived from stream restoration and enhancement. Table 6 details the mitigation types and SMUs
generated. SMU totals may be adjusted using the most recent USACE non-standard buffer with guidance.
The proposed conceptual design plan is shown in Figure 8.

8.5.1 Stream Restoration and Enhancement
Current stream conditions along the proposed restoration reaches demonstrate significant habitat
degradation as a result of impacts from agricultural land use, water diversion, and existing impoundments.
Additionally, the riparian buffers are in poor condition throughout the project area.
Stream restoration efforts will be accomplished through a combination of analytical and reference reach -
based design methods. The result will be a combination of Priority Level I Restoration and Enhancement
Levels I, II, and III for the project area. The cross-section geometry, planform, and profile will be modified
to restore appropriate capacity and sinuosity to the channelized streams. The Priority Level I stream
restoration will incorporate the design of a single -thread meandering channel, with parameters based on
data taken from appropriate regional curve tables for the Piedmont of North Carolina and from reference
sites and hydrologic analyses.
Priority Level I Restoration is proposed for Reaches TC1-A, TC2-B, and TC3. The design approach for
TC2-B and TC3 will first involve draining the two existing impoundments. Once the ponds are drained, a
meandering channel will be constructed within the natural valley and the remaining area within the pond
footprint will be graded and immediately stabilized. Because the buffer is devoid of significant woody
vegetation, woody debris will be installed along the bed to improve in -stream habitat. The design approach
for Reach TC 1-A will include meandering the proposed channel within the natural valley, excavating a
floodplain bench, and backfilling the existing stream. A minimum 50 -foot buffer will be established and
planted with native riparian vegetation.
Stream Enhancement Level I is proposed for Reach TC2-A. The design approach on this reach will focus
on bank stabilization, improving bedform diversity, riparian buffer restoration, and cattle exclusion.
Stabilization activities will include installing grade control structures, woody debris structures, and live -
stake plantings to improve hydraulic efficiency and aquatic habitat. All disturbed areas within the proposed
buffer will be planted with native riparian vegetation to a width of at least 50 feet from the stream's top of
bank and fencing will be installed to exclude all livestock.
RES Yadkin 01 Stream & Wetland PROSPECTUS
Umbrella Mitigation Bank 34 July 2017

Stream Enhancement Level II is proposed for Reaches TC5-B, TC6, and TC7. The design approach on
these reaches will focus on improving the riparian buffer through native vegetation planting and treatment
of invasive species, incorporating minimal grading to address minor erosional areas, and installing fencing
to exclude all livestock from streams.
Stream Enhancement Level III is proposed for Reaches TC1-B, TC4, and TC5-A. The channels are
moderately stable throughout the proposed easement, but their riparian zones lack sufficient buffers and
contain significant concentrations of exotic invasive species. Therefore, significant areas of invasive species
growth will be treated and a minimum 50 -foot buffer will be planted with native vegetation.

9 SCOUT SITE
9.1 Project Description
The Scout Site (the "Site") is located in Davie County approximately eleven miles north of Mocksville, NC
(Figures 1 and 2). The GPS coordinates of the site are 36.032289°N and -80.516667°W. The Site contains
two parcels totaling 14 -acres of conservation easement. The Site is located within a rural area, and land use
within the watershed is comprised primarily of agricultural and forested land uses (Figure 3).
The Site is located within the Yadkin River Basin (8 -digit USGS HUC 03040101, 12 -digit USGS
030401011203), and involves the restoration of a section of Hauser Creek (HC3) that has been disturbed
by agricultural activities and historic cattle grazing. The conceptual design presents the opportunity to
provide up to 2,467 warm Stream Mitigation Units (SMU). This proposed Site will result in significant
ecological improvements including water quality improvement, habitat restoration, and a decrease in non -
point source pollution from agricultural practices.
The Scout Site directly abuts the previously contracted DMS full delivery site Mockingbird. Together
Scout, Mockingbird, and the existing DMS site Hauser Creek will provide a contiguous easement corridor
of several miles. Scout and Mockingbird can be developed independently and still provide uplift to aquatic
functions.
9.2 Project Location
To access the Site from the county seat of Mocksville, travel north along Hwy 158 approximately 4.7 miles.
Turn left onto Farmington Rd and travel another 6.3 miles. Turn right onto Spillman Road and the Site will
be located on the right-hand side of the road approximately 1 mile down.
9.3 Landownership
The land required for the construction, management, and stewardship of this mitigation project includes
portions of the parcels listed in Table 1. A landowner map is also provided in Figure 4. EBX has obtained

were classified using North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NC DWR) methodology. Stream calls
will be verified by NC DWR during the decision phase of the project.
In general, all or portions of the project streams do not function to their full potential. Current conditions
demonstrate significant habitat degradation as a result of impacts from agriculture, historic land uses, and
water diversion. Site reaches were assessed using the NC Stream Assessment Method (NC SAM). NC SAM
rating forms are included in Appendix C, and results are summarized in Table 2. Morphological parameters
are located in Table 3.

9.4.2 Existing Reach Conditions
Reach HC3
Reach HC3 is a section of Hauser Creek that connects to the upstream end of the previously contracted
Division of Mitigation (DMS) Mockingbird Mitigation Site. The channel flows in a northerly direction
towards Spillman Road through cleared pasture with little to no vegetated buffer along the majority of the
reach. The reach has been straightened and moved from its original location along the valley floor,
restricting access to the floodplain and therefore causing downcutting and over -widening. The drainage
area for this reach is approximately 816 acres.

9.4.3 Soil Survey
9.4.3.1 General Soil Characteristics
The Site is located within the Piedmont physiographic province, which consists of generally rolling hills
and ridges with a few hundred feet of elevation difference between the hills and valleys. Existing soil
information from the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) shows the property is located within
the Gaston-Mocksville-Mecklenburg soil association. According to the Soil Survey of Davie County, North
Carolina, the association is made of gently sloping to steep, well drained soils that have a loamy surface
layer and a clayey or loamy subsoil with a low or moderate shrink -swell potential; formed in material
RES Yadkin 01 Stream & Wetland PROSPECTUS
Umbrella Mitigation Bank 37 July 2017

weathered from mafic and intermediate crystalline rocks on uplands. They are found on broad to narrow
ridges and side slopes in the northeastern, central, and southwestern parts of the county.
Project soils are mapped by the NRCS within the easement as Codorus loam, Mocksville sandy loam and
Rasalo fine sandy loam. Codorus loam makes up the majority of the easement and is somewhat poorly
drained and found on floodplains. The rest of the soils are moderately well to well drained and found on
ridges, hillslopes on ridges, and interfluves.
9.4.3.2 Site Mapped Soil Series
The Davie County Soil Survey shows one mapping unit across the project site. Map units include three soil
series (Figure 5). The soil series found on the site are described below and summarized in Table 4.

9.4.4 Endangered/Threatened Species
Plants and animals with a federal classification of endangered or threatened are protected under provisions
of Sections 7 and 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. The US Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) database (accessed 26 June 2017) lists one endangered species for Davie County, North Carolina:
Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxii). The database also lists the northern long-eared bat (Myotis
septentrionalis) as a threatened species. 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 Site. Results from NHP indicated that there are no known occurrences of protected species within a
one -mile radius of the project area. Based on initial site investigations, no impacts to federally protected
species are anticipated as a result of the proposed project. Informal USFWS consultation for long-eared bat
may be required if the proposed mitigation project will impact trees. The environmental screening phase of
the project will include USFWS coordination to confirm these findings.

9.4.5 Vegetation
The Site is characterized primarily by agricultural land, pasture and some patches of disturbed riparian
forest. Vegetation around the unbuffered reach of Hauser Creek is primarily composed of herbaceous
vegetation and scattered trees. In general, these riparian zones are disturbed due to regular land management
activities. Forested riparian areas are primarily narrow fringe with common canopy species including honey
locust (Gleditisia triacanthos), eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), and American sycamore (Platanus
occidentalis). Sub -canopy species include Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), sawtooth blackberry (Rubus
argutus) and Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) are also present throughout.
9.4.6 Cultural Resources
Cultural resources include historic and archeological resources located in or near the project area. RES
completed a preliminary survey of cultural resources to determine potential project impacts. A review of
North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) GIS Web Service (accessed 26 June 2017)
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.
9.4.7 Constraints
The restoration of Hauser Creek will primarily be Priority I restoration. However, some Priority II
restoration may be required at the upstream end of Hauser Creek due to elevation constraints coupled with
low valley slope. The downstream end of the Hauser Creek restoration must tie-in with the contracted DMS
full delivery Mockingbird mitigation project. The Priority II restoration will comply with IRT design
guidelines regarding bench width, soil stockpiling, and valley planform. No overhead or underground
easements conflict with the proposed project. Several existing stream crossings and fords will be either
maintained or enhanced within proposed easement breaks. No General Aviation or Commercial airports are
located within five miles of the proposed project. The project is located within five miles of two privately
owned and operated airstrips. One privately owned public -use air transport facility (Sugar Valley Airport)
is located approximately four miles south of the project. The project includes a mapped FEMA 100 -year
floodplain (Figure 7). The design and permitting of the mitigation work will include coordination with the
Davie County Floodplain Administrator and permitting a FEMA No -Rise Certification or CLOMR/LOMR.
Construction access is not constrained throughout the project area. While existing mature trees are generally
not threatened, a tree survey will be conducted to design the mitigation measures and access to minimize
impacts to significant specimen trees.
RES Yadkin 01 Stream & Wetland PROSPECTUS
Umbrella Mitigation Bank 39 July 2017

9.5 Conceptual Mitigation Plan
The Site presents the opportunity to provide 2,467 warm stream mitigation units (SMUs). These will be
derived from Priority I and II stream restoration. Table 6 details the mitigation types and SMUs generated.
The proposed conceptual design plan is shown in Figure 8.

9.5.1 Stream Restoration, Enhancement, and Preservation
Current stream conditions along the proposed restoration reaches demonstrate significant habitat
degradation as a result of impacts from agricultural land use, water diversion, and existing impoundments.
Additionally, the riparian buffer is in poor condition throughout the project area.
Stream restoration efforts will be accomplished through a combination of analytical and analog and/or
reference reach -based design methods. The cross-section geometry, planform, and profile will be modified
to restore appropriate capacity and sinuosity to the channelized streams. The stream restoration will
incorporate the design of a single -thread meandering channel, with parameters based on data taken from
appropriate regional curve tables for the Piedmont of North Carolina and from reference sites and
hydrologic analyses described herein.
Priority I restoration is proposed on Hauser Creek (HC3). The design approach for this reach will include
lifting the channel back to its historic elevation and reconnecting it to the floodplain. Because the buffer
along this channel is devoid of significant woody vegetation, woody debris will be installed along the bed
to improve in -stream habitat. 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. Analytical
design techniques will also be a crucial element of the project and will be used to determine the design
discharge and to verify the design as a whole. Sections of abandoned stream channels 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 in order to balance on-site cut/fill quantities. A minimum 50 -foot
buffer will be established and planted with native riparian vegetation. Relocating this channel will not
impact any forested areas because the buffer along the restoration reach is currently used for agriculture
and disturbed.
