RE: Hatley Mitigation Bank Adaptive Management Memo

Understanding
Environmental Banc & Exchange is the bank sponsor and is an entity of Resource Environmental
Solutions (RES). As determined following Year 5 monitoring and stated in the email received
from Katie Merritt (DWR) dated February 7, 2018, The Hatley Bank Site is not meeting project
goals. This is primarily due to an approximately 1.5-acre strip consisting of denuded herbaceous
vegetation areas and poor tree growth (Area A, Figure 1). Other problems with the Hatley Bank
Site were with the easement. In March 2018 it was discovered that the wrong easement had been
shown in the Monitoring Reports. Figure 1 depicts the recorded easement with the wrong
easement line overlain. Additionally, some easement markers were found damaged and all are
missing proper signage. RES is committed to ensuring the successful implementation of the
Hatley Bank Site and its long-term stewardship.
This adaptive management memo details how RES revegetated Area A and marked the correct
easement boundary to ensure nutrient uptake and protection of the conservation easement.
Herbaceous Reseeding
RES reseeded Area A on April 5, 2018. RES tilled between the rows of trees, mixing in soil
amendments and seeds. Per the results of a soil test, the soil amendments consisted of lime,
nitrogen, phosphate, and potash (potassium oxide). The seed mix was made up of rye and native
seeds and was heavily mulched with straw.
Easement
Some of the previous easement markers were damaged and all were missing the proper signage.
RES re-established the damaged easement corners using the original survey and metal location.
NC Wildlife Habitat Association signs were added to the easement markers throughout the entire
easement area. Also, the fence containing the easement did not include the easement corner
labeled “Encroachment Area” on Figure 2. The fence in this area was moved to match the

2
recorded easement line. 370 - 3-gallon container trees were planted on site. A number of these
trees were placed in the encroachment area and the rest were proactively planted in areas of low
stem density including Area A.
Conclusion
Attached are two figures and the soil sample results. Following review of this memo, RES
requests a closeout site visit.

Recommendations
Lime
If testing finds that soil pH is too low for the crop(s) indicated, a lime recommendation will be given in units of either
ton/acre or lb/1000 sq ft. For best results, mix the lime into the top 6 to 8 inches of soil several months before planting.
For no-till or established plantings where this is not possible, apply no more than 1 to 1.5 ton/acre (50 lb/1000 sq ft) at one
time, even if the report recommends more. You can apply the rest in similar increments every six months until the full rate
is applied. If MG is recommended and lime is needed, use dolomitric lime.
Fertilizer
Recommendations for field crops or other large areas are listed separately for each nutrient to be added (in units of
lb/acre unless otherwise specified). Recommendations for N (and sometimes for B) are based on research/field studies
for the crop being grown, not on soil test results. K-I and P-I values are based on test results and should be > 50. If they
are not, follow the fertilizer recommendations given. If Mg is needed and no lime is recommended, 0-0-22 (11.5% Mg) is
an excellent source; 175 to 250 lb per acre alone or in a fertilizer blend will usually satisfy crop needs, SS-I levels appear
only on reports for greenhouse soil or problem samples.
Farmers and other commercial producers should pay special attention to micronutrient levels. If $, pH$, $pH, C or Z
notations appear on the soil report, refer to . In general, homeowners do not
need to be concerned about micronutrients. Various crop notes also address lime fertilizer needs; visit
Recommendations for small areas, such as home lawns/gardens, are listed in units of lb/1000 sq ft . If you cannot find
the exact fertilizer grade recommended on the report, visit to find information that
may help you choose a comparable alternate. For more information, read
.
