EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Arrington Bridge III Wetland Mitigation Project is located on a 57.40 acre site three miles southwest
of Goldsboro in western Wayne County, NC. One unnamed channelized drainage feature that traverses the
site exhibits diminished habitat value as a result of past and on-going agricultural activities. The site was
identified by EBX-Neuse I, LLC as having potential to help meet the compensatory mitigation requirements
for wetland impacts in hydrologic unit 03020201 of the Neuse River Basin.
The Arrington Bridge III Wetland Mitigation Project involves the restoration and enhancement of 41.24
acres of wetlands that had been disturbed by historic mining, agricultural activities, and active cattle
grazing. The project presents 29.37 acres of wetland restoration and 11.87 acres of wetland enhancement,
generating 32.51 Wetland Mitigation Units (WMU's). This mitigation project is the third of three phases.
The Arrington Bridge I & II mitigation sites are located on the north side of Arrington Bridge Road;
Arrington Bridge I is on the east side of John Road, and Arrington Bridge II is on the west side of John
Road. These two buffer and nutrient mitigation sites are hydrologically connected to the Arrington Bridge
III site. The three Arrington Bridge sites complement each other, and, together, confer a greater water
quality benefit to the Neuse River than any one of the sites alone.
The Arrington Bridge III Mitigation Project is located within the southern portion of the HUC and includes
a channelized drainage feature that discharges into the Neuse River. Due to its location and improvements,
the project provides numerous ecological and water quality benefits within the Neuse River Basin. While
many of these benefits are limited to the project area, others, such as pollutant removal and improved
aquatic and terrestrial habitat, have more far-reaching effects.
Land use immediately surrounding the project includes pasture, sand mining, industrial, and forestry. The
total easement area is 57.40 acres. Numerous old borrow pits, spoil, and fill areas adjacent to the restoration
area are evidence of past sand mining operations. A small unnamed tributary enters the project from uplands
to the north (Arrington Bridge I and I1), flowing through a wooded buffer along the base of the terrace. The
channel has been dredged and channelized throughout most of the project. Soil investigations show that
much of the low-lying landscape exhibits hydric characteristics and a shallow seasonal high water table.
The site is located on a large inside meander of the Neuse River. There are three community types present
within the project area: pasture, forest, and development. The restoration area is primarily pasture and forest
and the enhancement areas are Cypress -Gum forests with shallow pools and marsh throughout.
The objective for this restoration project is to restore a continuous bottomland wetland system and enhance
the hydrology of existing wetlands. The design is based on reference conditions, USACE guidance
(USACE, 2005), and criteria developed during this project to achieve success. Initial site design included
the construction of three slough habitats to increase surface water storage and include patches of habitat
more typical of reference Cypress -Gum Swamps. Through coordination with the Interagency Review Team
(IRT) and the Seymour Johnson Air Force Base (SJAFB), it was requested that the restoration design
minimize standing water features that attract birds. Therefore, the slough features and Cypress -Gum Swamp
wetlands have been removed from the design and the restoration plan is now exclusively Bottomland
Hardwood Forest. Additional project objectives, such as restoring native vegetation, ensuring hydraulic
stability, and eradicating invasive species, are listed in Section 1.
The primary wetland restoration activities included:
• The backfilling and stabilizing of the main canal and existing side ditches;
• The fill material on one of the access roads was removed and stabilized to restore the natural
flow pattern, and the pond was backfilled with the adjacent spoil pile;
• Areas of cut and fill were re -graded to create a continuous bottomland wetland system.

Arrington Bridge III Wetland Mitigation Site • USGS HUC 03020201
Baseline Monitoring Report• Wayne County, North Carolina • July 2016
• Existing wetland areas were enhanced through invasive species control, hydrology improvements,
and habitat connectivity.
After completion of all construction and planting activities, the site will be monitored on a regular basis
and a physical inspection of the site will be conducted at a minimum of twice per year throughout the seven-
year post -construction monitoring period, or until performance standards are met. These site inspections
will identify site components and features that require adaptive management.
The hydrology success criterion for the site is to restore the water table at the site so that it will remain
continuously within 12 inches of the soil surface for at least eight percent of the growing season
(approximately 21 days), during normal rainfall years. The interim measures of vegetative success for the
restoration areas will be the survival of 210 trees per acre at the end of Year 7 of the monitoring period.
Upon approval for closeout by the Interagency Review Team (IRT), the site will be transferred to the North
Carolina Habitat Wildlife Foundation (NCWHF). The NCWHF shall be responsible for periodic inspection
of the site to ensure that restrictions required in the Conservation Easement are upheld. Endowment funds
required to uphold easement and deed restrictions shall be negotiated prior to site transfer to the responsible
party.

1 PROJECT GOALS, BACKGROUND AND ATTRIBUTES
1.1 Location and Setting
The Arrington Bridge III Wetland Mitigation Project is located in Wayne County approximately three
miles southwest of Goldsboro, NC. To access the Site from the town of Goldsboro, travel south on NC
HWY 117, and turn left onto Arrington Bridge Road (NC Highway 581). Turn right onto the dirt
entrance road immediately after crossing the railroad tracks (approximately 0. 15 miles). Turn left after
0.3 miles. In 0.1 miles, follow the left fork to access the northern end of the Site. Following the path to
the right will lead to the middle and southern portions of the Site.
The site is located in the Neuse River Basin within Cataloging Unit 03020201 (NCDWQ sub -basin 03-
04-12). The project is located within the Neuse River Basin (8 -digit USGS HUC 03020201, 14 -digit
USGS HUC 03020201200040.
1.2 Project Goals and Objectives
The Arrington Bridge III Wetland Mitigation Project provides numerous ecological and water quality
benefits within the Neuse River Basin. While many of these benefits are limited to the project area,
others, such as pollutant removal and improved aquatic and terrestrial habitat, have more far-reaching
effects. Expected improvements to water quality, hydrology, and habitat are outlined below.
Design Goals and Objectives
Benefits Related to Water Quality
Benefit will be achieved through cattle exclusion and direct removal of fecal inputs, filtering of runoff
Nutrient removal
through wetland areas, the conversion of active cattle pastures to forested wetlands, and improved
denitrification and nutrient uptake through wetland zones.
Runoff filtration
Benefit will be achieved through the restoration of buffer areas that will receive and filter runoff,
thereby reducing nutrients and sediment concentrations reaching water bodies downstream.
Benefits to Flood Attenuation
Water storage
Benefit will be achieved through the restoration of wetland areas which will infiltrate more water
during precipitation events than under current site conditions.
Improved groundwater
Benefit will be achieved through the increased storage of precipitation in wetland areas, ephemeral
recharge
depressions, and reconnection of existing floodplain. Greater storage of water will lead to improved
infiltration and groundwater recharge.
Benefits Related to Ecological Processes
Restoration of habitats
Benefit will be achieved by restoring riparian wetland habitat to appropriate bottomland hardwood
ecosystem.

1.3.1 Wetland Restoration Type and Approach
The Arrington Bridge III Wetland Mitigation project provides 32.51 wetland mitigation units through
a combination of Wetland Restoration and two levels of Wetland Enhancement. The existing pasture
areas on the Site are treated with Wetland Restoration at a credit ratio of 1:1. Wetland Restoration
activities included: plugging the main channel and side ditches, removing fill, and regrading the area
to reconstruct historical contours. A credit ratio of 3:1 was put in place for higher -uplift wetland
enhancement areas, including a drained area of planted cypress, an excavated pond, and forested areas
along the north side of the main ditch. A ratio of 5:1 was put in place for the lower -uplift wetland
enhancement areas, which are primarily along the north side of the main ditch. Both levels of Wetland
Enhancement were treated by enhancing the hydrology and providing long-term protection. This was
accomplished by filling the ditches across the site to raise the water table and restore a more natural
drainage pattern. Additionally, the pond was backfilled with the adjacent spoil pile and planted with
trees and a permanent seed mix. Although this was restored to a wetland, it receives Enhancement
credits at a ratio of 3:1 because the pond was already a jurisdictional feature.
1.3.1.1 Wetland Restoration Summary
The primary wetland restoration activities included:
• The backfilling and stabilizing of the main channelized drainage feature and existing side ditches;
• The fill material on one of the access roads was removed and stabilized to restore the natural flow
pattern, and the pond was backfilled with the adjacent spoil pile;
• Areas of cut and fill were re -graded to create a continuous bottomland wetland system.
Plugging ditches and main channelized drainage feature
Plugging of the main feature and side ditches was accomplished through a combination of backfilling
and the construction of ditch plugs throughout the easement area. Approximately 8,600 linear feet of
open ditch was backfilled within the easement boundary. Ditches are filled, compacted, and graded to
the adjacent floodplain elevation. Typical ditch plugs are 20 feet wide and extend above the top of the
ditch bank elevation a minimum of 6 inches. Plugs are constructed of compacted fill placed in 12 -inch
lifts with the upper 18 inches minimally compacted to allow for plant growth. Plugs are spaced such
that successive plugs are no more than 6 inches in elevation below one another. At the point of departure
from the conservation easement, a headwater -type channel is graded to the existing ditch elevation.
When possible, ditch plugs are constructed using excavated material from the restoration and
construction of wetland pools.
Fill Removal, Pond Baclyll, and n - grading ofsite
Disturbed soils underlain by hydric soils (as described in the soils report) were graded to allow for a
more natural hydrologic regime and function. Additionally, the fill material on the access roads was
removed to restore the natural flow pattern of the site. The restoration site is very gently sloping (less
than one percent) but does contain approximately three feet of elevation difference across the site.

Baseline Monitoring Report• Wayne County, North Carolina • July 2016
Several decades of agricultural management and mining operations has eliminated microtopography
across the site. As outlined in the soils report (Appendix C), approximately 12.6 acres of the project
area is described as disturbed soils having hydric indicators and lacking wetland hydrology. These
included large areas in a lower landscape position located adjacent to visible borrow pits. The soils in
these areas had variable textures that were exhibiting hydric indicators. All of this area was in pasture
and being grazed by cattle. One excavated pond is backfilled with soil from the adjacent spoil pile. The
filled pond is considered enhancement due to the jurisdictional status of the existing open water habitat.
The entire conservation easement was disked to break up the plow layer, increase surface roughness,
and promote infiltration.
1.3.1.2 Proposed Wetland Hydrology
The Arrington Bridge III Mitigation Site was once a Cypress Gum Swamp wetland subject to prolonged
inundation as indicated by soils mapping, historical aerial photography, and personal communication
with landowners. By 1974, the area was cleared, much of the borrow removed, and conversion of area
to agricultural production was occurring. The ditch system was mostly in place. The restoration plan
for the site consisted of filling and stabilizing ditches, converting active pasture to a bottomland wetland
system, restoring bottomland hardwood forests, and enhancing the hydrology of existing wetlands. The
backfilling and plugging of ditches lengthens wetland hydroperiods by halting artificial subsurface
drainage and preventing rapid surface drainage. Periodic flooding is vital to sustain plants and wildlife
characteristic of riverine wetlands (Ainslie, 2002). The drainage area for the project area is
approximately 0.63 square miles. The restored wetlands have a variable flooding regime due to the
small size of the drainage area
1.4 Project History, Mitigation Bank Establishment, Contacts and Attribute Data
1.4.1 Project History
The Arrington Bridge III Wetland Mitigation Site was restored by EBX Neuse I, LLC (EBX). EBX is
and entity of Resource Environmental Solutions LLC (RES). Tables 2, 3, and 4 (Appendix A) provide
a time sequence and information pertaining to the project activities, history, contacts, and baseline
information. EBX, acting as the Bank Sponsor, established a Conservation Easement (CE) and will
monitor the Site for a minimum of seven years. The Mitigation Plan provides detailed information
regarding bank operation, including long term management and annual monitoring activities. The Bank
Sponsor has conveyed the CE to the long-term land steward, the North Carolina Wildlife Habitat
Foundation (NCWHF). The Bank Sponsor will ensure that the conveyed CE 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 conveyed CE will allow for yearly monitoring and, if necessary,
maintenance of the Site during the yearly monitoring phases. These activities will be conducted in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Neu -Con Wetland and Stream Umbrella Mitigation
Bank made and entered into by EBX, USACE, and NCDWR.
1.4.2 Project Watersheds
The easement totals 57.40 acres with one unnamed tributary entering the easement and draining into a
channelized wetland ditch, which runs the length of the easement. The total drainage area at the
downstream limits of the project is 403 acres (0.63 mi2). The land use in the project watershed is
approximately 41 percent cultivated cropland, 18 percent pasture, 16 percent forested, eight percent
residential, eight percent commercial, and seven percent managed open space.

2 SUCCESS CRITERIA
The success criteria for the Arrington Bridge III Site follows accepted and approved success criteria
presented in the North Carolina Wetland Mitigation Guidelines and subsequent agency guidance.
Specific success criteria components are presented below.
2.1 Wetland Success Criteria
2.1.1 Wetland Hydrology Criteria
The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has a current WETS table for Wayne County
upon which to base a normal rainfall amount and average growing season. The closest comparable data
station was determined to be WETS station NC713 Goldsboro S Johnson AFB. This station is located
at the Seymour Johnson Air Force Base approximately 1.5 miles east of the proposed mitigation site.
The growing season for Wayne County is 262 days long, extending from March 4 to November 21, and
is based on a daily minimum temperature greater than 28 degrees Fahrenheit occurring in five of ten
years.
Because of the surface roughing and shallow depressions, a range of hydroperiods and inundation is
expected. The hydrology success criterion for the site is to restore the water table at the site so that it
will remain continuously within 12 inches of the soil surface for at least eight percent of the growing
season (approximately 21 days) at each groundwater gauge location.
Gauge data is compared to reference wetland well data in growing seasons with less than normal
rainfall. In periods of low rainfall, if a restoration gauge hydroperiod exceeds the reference gauge
hydroperiod, and both exceed five percent of the growing season, then the gauge will be deemed
successful. If a gauge location fails to meet these success criteria in the seven year monitoring period,
then monitoring may be extended, remedial actions may be undertaken, or the limits of wetland
restoration will be determined.
2.2 Vegetation Success Criteria
Specific and measurable success criteria for plant density within the wetland areas on the site follows
IRT Guidance. Vegetation monitoring plots are a minimum of 0.02 acres in size, and cover a minimum
of two percent of the planted area. Vegetation monitoring occurs annually in the fall of each year. The
measures of vegetative success for the site vary based on the planting zones outlined in the mitigation
plan.
The interim measures of vegetative success for the planted areas in the site is 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 is the survival of 210 trees per acre at the end of
Year 7 of the monitoring period.
Survival is determined at the plot level, not averaged at the site level. No areas are planted with more
than 50 percent of one species comprising the total composition. In addition, planted vegetation should
show a general trend toward successful establishment of the target communities with vigor and height
growth. Specific height criteria are not specified due to the variability of species and site conditions.
2.3 Scheduling/Reporting
The Bank Sponsor follows the guidance document published by NC DMS, "Monitoring Requirements
and Performance Standards for Stream and/or Wetland Mitigation" dated November 7, 2011 and the
2003 USACE Stream Mitigation Guidelines. Due to the fact that this project is a private mitigation

bank and not an NC DMS project, monitoring documents follow DMS guidelines only to the extent
necessary for IRT approval. A monitoring report will be generated by December 31st of each
monitoring year documenting activities of the site, and submitted to the IRT. The monitoring program
is implemented to document system development and progress toward achieving the success criteria.
The monitoring program will be undertaken for seven years or until the final success criteria are
achieved, whichever is longer.
3 MONITORING PLAN
Annual monitoring data is reported using the IRT monitoring template. The monitoring report provides
a project data chronology that facilitates an understanding of project status and trends, research
purposes, and assists in decision making regarding project close-out. The success criteria for the
Arrington Bridge III site follows current accepted and approved success criteria presented in the North
Carolina Wetland Mitigation Guidelines, and subsequent agency guidance. Specific success criteria
components are presented in the table below. Monitoring reports will be prepared annually and

3.1 Visual Assessment Monitoring
Visual monitoring of all mitigation areas is conducted a minimum of twice per monitoring year by
qualified individuals. The visual assessments include vegetation density, vigor, invasive species, and
easement encroachments. Digital images are 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
are presented in a plan view exhibit with a brief description of problem areas and digital images.
Photographs are used to subjectively evaluate surface hydrology, success of vegetation, and
effectiveness of erosion control measures. A series of photos over time should indicate successional
maturation of vegetation.
3.2 Vegetation
Vegetation monitoring plots will be a minimum of 0.02 acres in size, and cover a minimum of 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 occurs each year during the monitoring

period. Invasive and noxious species are monitored and controlled so that none become dominant or
alter the desired community structure of the site. If necessary, RES will develop a species-specific
control plan. Invasive and noxious species are monitored and controlled so that none become dominant
or alter the desired community structure of the site. Table 6 (Appendix B) provides a success summary
for each vegetation monitoring plot.
4 MAINTENANCE AND CONTINGENCY PLAN
All identified problematic areas or areas of concern such as wetland hydrology not meeting success
criteria, erosion/instability, aggradation/degradation, lack of targeted vegetation, and invasive/exotic
species which prevent the site from meeting performance success criteria will be evaluated on a case
by case basis. The USACE will be notified if monitoring or other information indicates that the Bank
Site, or a portion of a Bank Site, is not progressing as anticipated towards meeting the site specific
performance standards as defined in the Mitigation Plan. In such an event the USACE will be provided
with recommendations for adaptive management measures, which may include site modifications,
design changes, revisions to maintenance requirements, and revised monitoring requirements. USACE
approval will be obtained prior to conducting any adaptive management activities.
4.1 Wetlands
Any wetland problem areas which are identified during post construction monitoring activities will be
documented and mapped on the Current Conditions Plan View (CCPV) as part of the annual monitoring
report. Wetland problem areas may include planted vegetation or wetland hydrology not meeting
success criteria. If it is determined through IRT correspondence that remedial action is required to repair
an area, a proposed work plan will be submitted for remediation.
4.2 Vegetation
Any vegetation problem areas which are identified during post construction monitoring activities will
be documented and mapped on the Current Conditions Plan View (CCPV) as part of the annual stream
monitoring report. Vegetation problem areas or areas of concern may include vegetation plot not
meeting success criteria, invasive species abundance, sparse vegetation areas, etc. If it is determined
through IRT correspondence that remedial action is required to repair an area, a proposed work plan
will submitted for remediation.
5 AS -BUILT CONDITIONS (BASELINE)
The Arrington Bridge III Wetland Mitigation Site construction and planting activities were completed
in May 2016. Monitoring devices were installed following planting of the wetland site. A total of 16
groundwater hydrology gauges were installed onsite to monitor wetland hydrology success. Twenty-
seven (27) vegetation plots were also installed to document the survival success of planted stems.
5.1 As -Built Conditions Map
The Arrington Bridge III Wetland Mitigation Site As -Built Conditions map is located in Appendix C
which documents post construction conditions for the project. The Arrington Bridge III Wetland
Mitigation Project involved the restoration and enhancement of 41.24 acres of wetlands that had been
disturbed by historic mining, agricultural activities, and active cattle grazing. The project presents 29.37
acres of wetland restoration and 11.87 acres of wetland enhancement, generating 32.51 Wetland
Mitigation Units (WW's). This mitigation project is the third of three phases.

5.2 Baseline Data Collection
5.2.1 Vegetation
Based on the baseline vegetation monitoring, all twenty-seven (27) vegetation monitoring plots
exceeded the proposed planting ratio of 680 stems per acre. The Site's average baseline planted stems
per acre is 1,273. (Table 6, Appendix B). Table 7 (Appendix C) provides a more detailed summary of
stem counts and the type of planted species within each vegetation monitoring plot. The number of
planted stems per acre for the monitoring plots range from 890 stems to 1,700 stems. The average stems
per vegetation plot was 31 planted stems. The minimum planted stems per plot was 22 stems and the
maximum was 42 stems per plot.
5.2.2 Photo Documentation
Permanent photo point locations have been established at each vegetation plot by Resource
Environmental Solutions, LLC staff. Any additional problem areas or areas of concern will also be
document with a digital photograph during monitoring activities. Digital photographs of the site's
condition and vegetation plots can be found in Appendix B.
5.2.3 Hydrology
Wetland hydrology will be monitored with fourteen automatic recording pressure transducer gauges
that have been installed in representative locations across the wetland restoration areas. Two reference
wetland hydrology gauges were installed in reference wetland areas. An onsite rain gauge has also
been installed to document rainfall events. Wetland hydrology gauge data will be reported in the Year
1 monitoring report.
