EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Restoration Systems, LLC has established the Orphan Creek Bank Parcel (Parcel), proposed as part of the
Restoration Systems’ Phase One Haw River WS Umbrella Banking Instrument (Banking Instrument)
signed October 25th, 2017 between Restoration Systems, and the North Carolina Division of Water
Resources (DWR). Per the Jordan Lake Water supply Nutrient Strategy, Consolidated Mitigation Rule,
and Nutrient Offset Payments (15A NCAC 02B .0267, 15A NCAC 02B .0268, 15A NCAC 02B .0295, &
15A NCAC 02B .0240), this Parcel is designed to provide riparian buffer and nutrient offset mitigation
credits for unavoidable impacts due to development within the Haw River Sub-watershed of Jordan Lake
in the Cape Fear River Basin. Supporting figures are included in Appendix A.

The Parcel was evaluated on December 16th, 2014 by Virginia Baker of DWR. Ms. Baker’s evaluation
was part of an inter-agency review, including the US Army Corps of Engineers, to determine if stream
features located within the site are applicable to provide compensatory stream mitigation under
Restoration Systems’ Cape Fear 02 Phase One Umbrella Banking Instrument , (Orphan Creek USACE
Action ID SAW-2015-01698). Riparian areas adjacent to features within the parcel providing
compensatory mitigation for stream impacts, were restored and provide riparian buffer mitigation and
nutrient off-set credit.

The Parcel was planned and designed according to the Banking Instrument with DWR, 15A NCAC 02B
.0240, and the Consolidated Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295, which became effective on
November 1, 2015. The BPDP has also been designed in concurrence with the Orphan Creek Stream and
Wetland Mitigation Bank (SAW# 2015-01698). The mitigation plan for the Orphan Creek Stream and
Wetland Mitigation Bank along with the Stream and Wetland Umbrella Mitigation Banking Instrument
was approved by the Interagency Review Team on July, 6th 2017. The Section 404 (Clean Water Act, 33
USC 1344) was granted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on June 30 th, 2017, the corresponding
Section 401 Water Quality Certification was granted on June 28th, 2017 and the land quality letter of
approval was granted June 20th, 2017.

Project construction and planting was completed between October 30, 2017 and December 22, 2017. For
purposes of the Orphan Creek Nutrient Offset & Buffer Bank, the Parcel involves restoring riparian
buffers and other riparian area s adjacent to mitigated streams onsite in order to help reduce non-point
source contaminant discharges to downstream waters in the Haw River sub -watershed of Jordan Lake.
All the riparian areas were assessed by DWR during an onsite visit to determine viability for buffer
mitigation and nutrient offset. During the site visit, all riparian areas were confirmed to have been in
pasture for cattle grazing. Approximately 7.01 acres will be protected with a permanent conservation
easement. Of those 7.01 acres, 4.52 acres were restored for Jordan riparian buffer credit, 0.22 acres were
restored for nutrient offset credit, and 1.74 acres were enhanced by the removal of cattle from the streams
and riparian areas for Jordan riparian buffer credit. In general, ripa rian restoration/enhancement area
widths on streams extend out to a maximum of 100 feet from the top of bank with a minimum width of 30
from top of banks. Riparian buffer enhancement credits generated on this Bank Parcel are allowed
pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(6) but cannot be used to generate nutrient offset credits.
Additionally, no riparian restoration areas that are less than 50 feet wide from Top of Banks can be used
to generate nutrient offset credit. Therefore, the maximum acreage of riparian restoration on this site that
is able to be converted into nutrient offset credits if needed by RS, is 4.52 acres. Figure 5 shows the
Credit Determination Map and Section 3.0 provides details of the mitigation determination on the Bank
Parcel.

1.0 PROJECT GOALS, BACKGROUND, AND ATTRIBUTES

1.1 Location and Setting
Restoration Systems, LLC has established the Orphan Creek Bank Parcel (Parcel), proposed as part of the
Restoration Systems’ Phase One Haw River WS Umbrella Banking Instrument (Banking Instrument)
signed October 25th, 2017 between Restoration Systems, and the North Carolina Division of Water
Resources (DWR).

The Parcel encompasses 7.01 acres of land located 2000 feet north of the intersection of Payne Road and
Salem Church Road. Prior to construction, the Site was characterized by hay fields and livestock pasture;
livestock had unrestricted access to the Site’s streams resulting in deeply incised streams and direct
nonpoint source inputs including livestock waste. A narrow riparian fringe had developed on the stream
margins composed of opportunistic species and a few mature trees. Located in the South Atlantic/Gulf
Region approximately 2 miles north of Saxapahaw, NC and 7 miles southeast of Graham, NC in eastern
Alamance County (Figure 1, Appendix A), the Parcel is hydrologically situated within the USGS 14-digit
HUC and Targeted Local Watershed 03030002050010 of the Cape Fear River Basin and Jordan Lake’s
Haw Sub-Watershed (DWR Subbasin Number 03-06-02). The main hydrologic features include four
unnamed tributaries (UT) to Meadow Creek, and adja cent floodplains.

Directions to Parcel (from Saxapahaw):
 From Church Rd. and Jordan Dr. intersection, go north on Jordan Dr. – 0.1 mile
 Jordan Dr. becomes Saxapahaw Bethlehem Church Rd. – 1.8 miles
 Turn right on Payne Rd. – 0.7 mile
 Site is on left; access site using driveway to barn and agriculture fields.
Site Coordinates: 35.978992, -79.315216

1.2 Project Goals and Objectives
According to the Final Cape Fear River Basin Restoration Priorities (NCEEP 2009), this watershed
should be targeted for res toration to protect the nutrient sensitive waters that ultimately drain into the
nutrient sensitive water supply of Jordan Lake. Overall, the purposes of the Orphan Creek Buffer and
Nutrient Offset Bank is to restore, enhance, and preserve riparian buffer s and other riparian areas adjacent
to mitigated streams onsite. The riparian restoration and enhancement work will result in improved water
quality within the Parcel and the downstream watershed. The Parcel is located in a region of the state
dominated by agriculture and livestock; restoration of the riparian buffer is expected to result in
immediate water quality benefits within the vicinity of the Parcel through the removal of livestock access
to Parcel streams.

Primary goals focus on 1) improving water quality, 2) enhancing flood attenuation and hydrology, 3)
improving aquatic resources, and 4) restoring riparian habitat. Proposed mitigation activities will provide
floodplain connectivity, floodplain resistance, stream stability, sediment transport, surface and subsurface
storage and retention, in-stream habitat, riparian habitat and structure, thermal regulation, floodplain
biogeochemical processing, and pollutant filtration as well as remove sources of pollutants.

2.0 RIPARIAN RESTORATION AND ENHANCEMENT PLAN
As this Parcel is also part of a stream and wetland mitigation bank, all riparian restoration activities
occurred in concurrence with stream mitigation activities.

2.1 Riparian Area Restoration Activities
In general, riparian restoration/enhancement area widths on streams will extend out to a maximum of 100
feet from the top of bank with a minimum width of 30 from top of banks. Riparian buffer enhancement
credits generated on this Bank Parcel ar e allowed pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(6) but cannot be
used to generate nutrient offset credits. Additionally, no riparian restoration areas that are less than 50
feet wide from Top of Banks can be used to generate nutrient offset credit.

Variations in vegetative planting occurred based on topographic locations and hydraulic conditions of the
soil. Vegetative species compositions mimic reference forest data, onsite observations, and community
descriptions from Classification of the Natural Commu nities of North Carolina (Schafale and Weakley
1990). Community associations utilized include 1) Piedmont Alluvial Forest, 2) Dry-Mesic Oak-Hickory
Forest, and 3) stream-side assemblage. Deep-rooted, riparian vegetation will be planted over 6.45 acres
of the Parcel. Stream-side trees include species with a high value for sediment stabilization, rapid growth
rate, and the ability to withstand hydraulic forces associated with bankfull flow and overbank flood
events. Stream-side trees and shrubs were plante d along reconstructed stream banks and concentrated
along outer bends. Planted vegetation along cleared stream banks will reestablish native/historic
community patterns within the stream corridor, associated side slopes, and transition areas. Revegetating
Parcel floodplains and stream banks will provide stream bank stability, give shade, reduce surface water
temperatures, filter pollutants from adjacent runoff, and provide habitat for area wildlife.

Planting of the Parcel was performed December 20-22, 2017. A detailed planting list is depicted in Table
2 (Appendix B), and the planting area is graphically depicted on Figure 4 (Appendix A).

2.2 Riparian Buffer Enhancement Activities
Riparian buffer enhancement include d permanently protecting existing riparian buffer from livestock via
exclusionary fencing, cutting, clearing, filling, grading, and any similar activities that would affect the
functionality of the riparian buffer. Buffer credits sought in the enhancement area, allowed pursuant to
15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(6), will only be used toward buffer mitigation and cannot be transferred into
nutrient offset credits. The enhancement area extends a maximum of 100 feet from the top of bank with a
minimum width of 20 from top of banks.

2.3 Marsh Treatment Area
Two marsh treatment areas were constructed to intercept surface waters draining through agricultural
areas prior to discharging into UT1B and the downstream reach of UT1 (Figures 4-5, Appendix A). The
marsh treatment areas were excluded from credit calculations.

3.0 MITIGATION POTENTIAL
The Orphan Creek Bank Parcel provides Jordan buffer mitigation and nutrient offset credits for
development impacts within the Haw River Sub-watershed of Jordan Lake. The width of the credit
generation area will begin at the most landward limit of the top of bank or the rooted herbaceous
vegetation and extend landward a maximum distance of 200 feet where able. A maximum of 4.52 acres
of riparian restoration on this site is able to be converted and transferred from Riparian Buffer Credits to
Nutrient Offset Credits and from Nutrient Offset Credit back to Riparian Buffer Credits upon approval
and does not include any of the acreage being mitigated to generate wetland mitigation cr edit.. The
Sponsor must submit a written request and receive written approval from DWR prior to any credit
conversions and transfers to the buffer and nutrient credit ledgers. All delivery factors shall be applied to
nutrient offset credits prior to requesting a conversion.

According to the nutrient reduction goals for the Haw River arm of Jordan Lake, the generated nitrogen
credits per acre in the Haw Sub-watershed for riparian restoration on agriculture land is 2249.36 pounds
and the generated phosphorus credit per acre is 143.81 pounds. The delivery factors applied to this parcel
are 74 percent for nitrogen and 68 percent for phosphorus (Appendix G). Delivered credits are calculated
by applying the delivery factors and the acreage of riparian restora tion to the generated credits per acre
stated above. Proposed areas for Jordan riparian buffer and nutrient offset (Nitrogen and Phosphorus)
credits for the Orphan Creek Bank Parcel are summarized in the tables below and corresponding Figure 5
(Appendix A).

The Sponsor will maintain 4 credit ledgers for the Parcel under the Banking Instrument and BPDP: (1) for
buffer restoration mitigation credits in both square feet and acres, (1) for buffer enhancement mitigation
credits in square feet and acres, (1) accounting for nitrogen offset credits in pounds and acres, and (1)
accounting for phosphorus offset credits in pounds and acres.

The Sponsor may elect to use riparian areas for either buffer mitigation credit or wetland mitigation
credit, but not both. The Sponsor must submit a written request and receive written approval from DWR
prior to any credit conversions and transfers to the buffer credit ledger. As part of that request, the
Sponsor must provide DWR with a written acceptance letter f rom the USACE, accompanied by
supporting documents, for any wetlands that they want removed from the wetland mitigation bank. Only
riparian areas that fail to qualify to generate wetland credit may be viable for generating riparian buffer
credit. Figure 5 (Appendix A) depicts riparian areas that could potentially generate riparian buffer credit
if they don't qualify to generate wetland mitigation credits, and Figure 6 (Appendix A) depicts the
potential conversion of failed wetland mitigation credits to riparian buffer credits. Any areas proposed for
buffer mitigation credit must meet the performance standards detailed in 15A NCAC 02B .0295.

**Buffer mitigation credits are sought from top of bank to 100’. Beyond buffer credit generating areas, RS is proposing nutri ent
offset credits out to a maximum of 200’ for a contiguous riparian restoration from top of bank to 200’ where possible.

4.0 MONITORING AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
4.1 Monitoring Protocol
Restoration monitoring procedures for riparian vegetation will include periodic visual inspection and
annual plant survival and species diversity survey reports. Quantitative sampling of vegetation will be
performed as outlined in the CVS Level 1 -2 Protocol for Recording Vegetation, Version 4.2 (Lee et al.
2008). Photos will be taken from all photo points each monitoring year and provided in the annual
reports. All planted stems in the plots will be marked with flagging tape and recorded. Detailed
qualitative and quantitative monitoring is proposed for vegetated riparian areas; marsh treatment areas
will be visually inspected periodically and reported qualitatively within the annual monitor report, which
will include photographic record of the Parcel’s assets.

Monitoring of the restoration efforts will be performed for five years or until success criteria are fulfilled.
Restoration Systems shall submit an annua l monitoring report to DWR, no later than December 31st of
each year. Quantitative monitoring include s measurements of 7-10x10 meter, permanent vegetation plots
(3.6% of restoration and nutrient offset credit areas). Plots were randomly placed throughout the planted
riparian areas and are representative of credit generating areas. Sampling of vegetation will be performed
in October of each year, with the 1st monitoring data to be collected in the fall of 2018 but not within 6
months from initial planting. Baseline data can be found in Appendix B.

Orphan Creek Bank Parcel Baseline Document and Asbuilt Report page 5
Phase One Haw River WS Umbrella Bank Restoration Systems, LLC
During the first year, vegetation will receive a cursory, visual evaluation on a periodic basis to ascertain
the degree of overtopping of planted elements by nuisance species. Success criteria within the riparian
buffer and nutrient offset restoration areas will be based on the survival of planted species at a density of
260 stems per acre after five years of monitoring. A minimum of four native, hardwood tree and shrub
species must be present, with no one species representing greater than 50% of the stems. In addition,
appropriate volunteer stems of native hardwood tree and shrub species may be included to meet the final
performance standard of 260 stems per acre upon DWR approval.

A visual assessment of the cattle exclusion and preservation areas within the conservation easement will
also be performed each year to confirm:
• Fencing is in good condition throughout the site;
• no cattle access within the conservation easement area;
• no encroachment has occurred;
• diffuse flow is being maintained in the conservations easement area; and
• there has not been any cutting, clearing, filling, grading, or similar activities that would
negatively affect the functioning of the buffer.

4.2 Parcel Maintenance
A remedial action plan will be developed and implemented with the approval of DWR in the event that
the Parcel or a specific component of the Parcel fails to achieve success criteria as outlined above. Other
vegetation maintenance and repair a ctivities may include pruning, mulching, and fertilizing. In the event
that exotic invasive plant species require treatment, such species will be controlled by mechanical
(physical removal with the use of a chainsaw) and/or chemical methods (aquatic appro ved herbicide) in
accordance with North Carolina Department of Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations.

If mowing is deemed necessary by the Sponsor for vegetation survival of planted stems during the
monitoring period, the Sponsor must receive approval by the DWR prior to any mowing activities within
Zone 1 and Zone 2 of the Jordan buffers to ensure that no buffer violations have been performed. Failure
to receive approval prior to mowing activities within the Jordan buffer as defined in 15A NCAC 02B
.0267 by the DWR, could result in Jordan buffer violations and violations of the conservation easement.
If necessary, the Sponsor will develop a species -specific control plan

4.3 Long Term Management Plan
A Permanent Conservation Easement will preserve all areas and prohibit all use of the property
inconsistent with its use as mitigation property including any activity that would materially alter the
biological integrity of the Parcel. The North Carolina Wildlife Habitat Foundation (NCWHF) has agreed
to be holder of the easement. The Sponsor will provide an endowment to the NCWHF to hold and
enforce the Conservation Easement and its interests in perpetuity. The Conservation Easement was
recorded on October 18, 2016 at the Alamance County courthouse in De ed Book 3593, Page 888-898.

4.4 Easement Boundaries and Fencing
Easement boundaries will be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between the Parcel and
adjacent properties. Boundaries may be identified by cattle fence, marker, bollard, po st, tree-blazing, or
other means as allowed by site conditions and/or conservation easement. Boundary markers disturbed,
damaged, or destroyed will be repaired and/or replaced on an as needed basis.

Phase One Haw River WS Umbrella Bank Restoration Systems, LLC
5.0 FINANCIAL ASSURANCE
Per the Banking Instrument, Restoration Systems intends to forgo the release of Task 1 credits and
acquisition of a Performance Bond. Upon submittal of the As-built Report, Restoration Systems will
provide a Performance/Maintenance Bond, with DWR as the Obligee, and per the requirements of the
Banking Instrument. The Performance Bond will be a minimum of 100k and will be renewed annually.
Performance bonds for monitoring shall be renewed to cover the next years monitoring period, with
confirmation of renewal provided to DWR with ea ch annual monitoring report when applicable. DWR
reserves the right to alter the credit release schedule if monitoring reports are submitted without proof of
bond renewals when applicable.

Re: Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset & Buffer Subjectivity Determination
Orphan Creek Mitigation Site
Near 4823 Salem Church Rd, Haw River, NC
Alamance County
Dear Mr. Holz,
On May 31, 2017, Katie Merritt, with the Division of Water Resources (DWR), received a request
from Restoration Systems, LLC (RS) for a site visit near the above -referenced site in the Cape Fear
River Basin within the Haw River Sub -Watershed of Jordan Lake. This site visit was to determine
the potential for riparian buffer mitigation and nutrient offset. On June 13, 2017, Ms. Merritt
performed a site assessment of the subject site which is more accurately depicted on the attached map
labeled, "Historic Conditions Plan View". This site is also being proposed as a stream restoration
site by RS and is described in more detail in the attached map labeled, "Restoration Plan". At the
request of RS, this mitigation determination is assessed using the proposed stream restoration plan
that has been submitted to the Interagency Review Team (IRT) for review and approval as the
Benton Branch Stream Mitigation Site. If the proposed Restoration Plan changes in any way from
what is shown on the attached Restoration Plan Map, or the stream channels labeled as "not
assessed" in the table below do not develop into intermittent or perennial streams as determined by
DWR, this viability letter will be subject to change.
Ms. Merritt's evaluation of the features and their associated mitigation determination for the riparian
areas are provided in the table below. The evaluation was made from Top of Bank (TOB) out to
200' from each existing or proposed feature for buffer mitigation pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295
(effective November 1, 2015) and for nutrient offset credits pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0240.

2 NC Division of Water Resources - Methodology and Calculations for determining Nutrient Reductions associated with
Riparian Buffer Establishment
Maps that are attached to this letter were provided by RS and were initialed by Ms. Merritt on July
18, 2017. This letter should be provided in all stream, wetland, buffer and/or nutrient offset
mitigation plans for this Site.
This letter does not constitute an approval of this site to generate mitigation credits. Pursuant to 15A
NCAC 02B .0295, a mitigation proposal and a mitigation plan shall be submitted to DWR for written
approval prior to conducting any mitigation activities in riparian areas and/or surface waters for
buffer mitigation credit. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0240, a proposal regarding a proposed nutrient
load -reducing measure for nutrient offset credit shall be submitted to DWR for approval prior to any
mitigation activities in riparian areas and/or surface waters.
All vegetative plantings, performance criteria and other mitigation requirements for riparian
restoration, enhancement and preservation must follow the requirements in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 to
be eligible for buffer and/or nutrient offset mitigation credits. For any areas depicted as not being
viable for nutrient offset credit above, one could propose a different measure, along with supporting
calculations and sufficient detail to support estimates of load reduction, for review by the DWR to
determine viability for nutrient offset in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0240.

Report to the DWR, whichever comes first. Please contact Katie Merritt at (919)-807-6371 if you
have any questions regarding this correspondence.

MISCELLANEOUS

simple, and that Grantor either owns all interests in the Property which may be impaired by the
granting of this Conservation Easement or that there are no outstanding mortgages, tax liens,
encumbrances, or other interests in the Property which have not been expressly subordinated to this
Conservation Easement. Grantor further warrants that Grantee shall have the use of and enjoy all the
benefits derived from and arising out of this Conservation Easement, and that Grantor will warrant
and defend title to the Property against the claims of all persons.
B. Subsequent Transfers. The Grantor agrees to incorporate the terms of this Conservation
Easement in any deed or other legal instrument that transfers any interest in all or a portion of the
Property. The Grantor agrees to provide written notice of such transfer at least sixty (60) days prior
to the date of the transfer. The Grantor and Grantee agree that the terms of this Conservation
Easement shall survive any merger of the fee and easement interests in the Property or any portion
thereof and shall not be amended, modified or terminated without the prior written consent and
approval of the Corps and DWR.
C. Assignment. The parties recognize and agree that the benefits of this Conservation
Easement are in gross and assignable provided, however that the Grantee hereby covenants and
agrees, that in the event it transfers or assigns this Conservation Easement, the organization receiving
the interest will be a qualified holder under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 121-34 et seq. and § 170(h) of the
Internal Revenue Code, and the Grantee further covenants and agrees that the terms of the transfer or
assignment will be such that the transferee or assignee will be required to continue in perpetuity the
conservation purposes described in this document.
D. Entire Aereement and Severability. This instrument sets forth the entire agreement of
the parties with respect to the Conservation Easement and supersedes all prior discussions,
negotiations, understandings or agreements relating to the Conservation Easement. If any provision is
found to be void or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder shall continue in
full force and effect.

E. Obligations of Ownership. Grantor is responsible for any real estate taxes, assessments,
fees, or charges levied upon the Property. Grantor shall keep the Property free of any liens or other
encumbrances for obligations incurred by Grantor. Grantee shall not be responsible for any costs or
liability of any kind related to the ownership, operation, insurance, upkeep, or maintenance of
the Property, except as expressly provided herein. Nothing herein shall relieve the Grantor of the
obligation to comply with federal, state or local laws, regulations and permits that may apply to the
exercise of the Reserved Rights.
F. Extinguishment. In the event that changed conditions render impossible the continued use
of the Property for the conservation purposes, this Conservation Easement may only be extinguished,
in whole or in part, by judicial proceeding.
G. Eminent Domain. Whenever all or part of the Property is taken in the exercise of eminent
domain so as to substantially abrogate the restrictions imposed by this Conservation Easement,
Grantor and Grantee shall join in appropriate actions at the time of such taking to recover the full
value of the taking, and all incidental and direct damages due to the taking.
H. Proceeds. This Conservation Easement constitutes a real property interest immediately
vested in Grantee. In the event that all or a portion of this Property is sold, exchanged, or involuntarily
converted following an extinguishment or the exercise of eminent domain, Grantee shall be entitled to
the fair market value of this Conservation Easement. The parties stipulate that the fair market value
of this Conservation Easement shall be determined by multiplying the fair market value of the
Property unencumbered by this Conservation Easement (minus any increase in value after the date of
this grant attributable to improvements) by the ratio of the value of this easement at the time of this
grant to the value of the Property (without deduction for the value of this Conservation Easement) at
the time of this grant. The values at the time of this grant shall be the values used, or which would have
been used, to calculate a deduction for federal income tax purposes, pursuant to Section 170(h) of the
Internal Revenue Code (whether eligible or ineligible for such a deduction). Grantee shall use its share
of the proceeds in a manner consistent with the purposes of this Conservation Easement.
I. Notification. Any notice, request for approval, or other communication required under
this Conservation Easement shall be sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the

Easement, or if Grantee ceases to be a qualified grantee, and if within a reasonable period of time
after the occurrence of one of these events Grantee fails to make an assignment pursuant to this
Conservation Easement, then the Grantee's interest shall become vested in another qualified grantee in

mechanism to provide for protection of the property's nutrient removal and other water quality
functions.
(7) The applicant or mitigation provider shall submit written annual reports for a period of five years after
the restoration or enhancement has been conducted showing that the trees or tree and shrub species
planted are meeting success criteria and that diffuse flow through the riparian buffer has been
maintained. The applicant or mitigation provider shall replace trees or shrubs and restore diffuse flow
if needed during that five-year period. Additional years of monitoring may be required if the
objectives under Paragraph (i) have not been achieved at the end of the five-year monitoring period.
(8) The mitigation provider shall provide a site specific credit/debit ledger to the Division at regular
intervals once credits are established and until they are exhausted.
(9) The mitigation provider shall provide a completion bond that is payable to the Division sufficient to
ensure that land purchase, construction, monitoring, and maintenance are completed. A non-wasting
endowment or other financial mechanism for perpetual maintenance and protection shall be provided.
(j) PURCHASE OF BUFFER MITIGATION CREDITS FROM A PRIVATE OR PUBLIC MITIGATION BANK.
Applicants who choose to satisfy some or all of their mitigation by purchasing mitigation credits from a private or public
mitigation bank shall meet the following requirements:

of the protected riparian buffer.
(k) PAYMENT TO THE RIPARIAN BUFFER RESTORATION FUND. Applicants who choose to satisfy some or all
of their mitigation determination by paying a compensatory mitigation fee to the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund shall
meet the requirements of Rule .0269 of this Section. Payment made to the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program (the
Program) shall be contingent upon acceptance of the payment by the Program. The Program shall consider their financial,
temporal, and technical ability to satisfy the mitigation request to determine whether they shall accept or deny the request.
(l) DONATION OF PROPERTY. Applicants who choose to satisfy their mitigation determination by donating real
property or an interest in real property to fully or partially offse t an approved payment into the Riparian Buffer
Restoration Fund pursuant to Paragraph (k) of this Rule shall meet the following requirements:
(1) The value of the property interest shall be determined by an appraisal performed in accordance with
Part (l)(4)(D) of this Rule. The donation shall satisfy the mitigation determination if the appraised
value of the donated property interest is equal to or greater than the required fee. If the appraised
value of the donated property interest is less than the required fee calculated pursuant to Rule .0269 of
this Section, the applicant shall pay the remaining balance due.
(2) The donation of real property interests shall be granted in perpetuity.
(3) Donation of real property interests to satisfy the full or partial payments under Paragraph (k) shall be
accepted only if such property meets the following requirements:

through any of the alternative mitigation options described in this Paragraph. Any proposal for al ternative mitigation
shall meet the requirements of Paragraphs (c), (e), (f), and (g) of this Rule, the requirements set out in the named
Subparagraph addressing that option, and the following requirements:
(1) Any proposal for alternative mitigation shall be provided in writing to the Division and shall meet the
following content and procedural requirements for approval by the Division:
(A) Projects that have been constructed and are within the required monitoring period on the
effective date of this Rule are eligible for use as alternative buffer mitigation. Projects that
have completed monitoring and released by the Division on or before the effective date of
this Rule are eligible for use as alternative buffer mitigation for a period of 10 years from the
effective date of this Rule;
(B) The mitigation area shall be placed under a perpetual conservation easement or similar legal
protection mechanism to provide for protection of the property's nutrient removal and other
water quality functions; and
(C) A completion bond payable to the Division sufficient to ensure that land purchase,
construction, monitoring, and maintenance are completed.
(D) A non-wasting endowment or other financial mechanism for perpetual maintenance and
protection shall be provided.
(2) ALTERNATIVE BUFFER MITIGATION – NON-STRUCTURAL, VEGETATIVE OPTIONS
(A) Coastal Headwater Stream Mitigation. Wooded buffers planted along Outer Coastal Plain
headwater stream mitigation sites may be approved as riparian buffer mitigation as long as
the site meets all applicable requirements of Paragraph (i) of this Rule. In addition, all
success criteria including woody species, stem density, diffuse flow, and stream success
criteria specified by the Division in any required written approval of the site shall be met.
The area of the buffer shall be measured perpendicular to the length of the valley being
restored. The area within the proposed buffer mitigation shall not also be used as wetland
mitigation. The mitigation provider shall monitor the site for at least five years from the date
of planting by providing annual reports for written Division approval.
(B) Buffer Restoration and Enhancement on Non-Subject Streams. Restoration or enhancement
of buffers may be conducted on intermittent or perennial streams that are not subject to
riparian buffer rules. These streams shall be confirmed as intermittent or perennial streams
by Division staff using the Division publication, Methodology for Identification of
Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their Origins (v.4.11, 2010) available at no cost at
http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/swp/ws/401/waterresources/streamdeterminations. The
proposal shall meet all applicable requirements of Paragraph (i) of this Rule.
(C) Preservation of Buffer on Non-subject streams. Preservation of buffers on intermittent or
perennial streams that are not subject to riparian buffer rules may be proposed in order to
permanently protect the buffer from cutting, clearing, filling, grading, and similar activities
that would affect the functioning of the buffer. These streams shall be confirmed as
intermittent or perennial streams by Division staff using the Division publication,
Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their Origins
(v.4.11, 2010). The preservation site shall meet the requirements of Subparagraphs (i)(1),
(i)(3), (i)(6) and Parts (l)(3)(D), (E), (F), (H) and (J) of this Rule. Preservation shall be
proposed only when restoration or enhancement with an area at least equal to the footprint of
the buffer impact has been proposed.
(D) Preservation of Buffers on Subject Streams. Buffer preservation may be proposed in order to
permanently protect the buffer from cutting, clearing, filling, grading, and similar activities
that would affect the functioning of the buffer beyond the protection afforded by the existing
buffer rules on sites that meet the definition of a preservation site along streams, estuaries, or
ponds that are subject to buffer rules. The preservation site shall meet the requirements of
Subparagraphs (i)(1), (i)(3), (i)(6) and Parts (l)(3)(D), (E), (F), (H) and (J) of this Rule.
Preservation shall be proposed only when restoration or enhancement of an area at least
equal to the footprint of the buffer impact has been proposed.
(E) Sewer easement within the buffer. If the proposed mitigation site contains a sewer easement
in Zone 1, that portion of the sewer easement within Zone 1 is not suitable for buffer
mitigation. If the proposed mitigation site contains a sewer easement in Zone 2, the portion
of the sewer easement in Zone 2 may be suitable for buffer mitigation if:
(i) the applicant or mitigation provider restores or enhances the forested buffer in Zone
1 adjacent to the sewer easement;
(ii) the sewer easement is at least 30 feet wide;
(iii) the sewer easement is required to be maintained in a condition that meets the
vegetative requirements of the collection system permit; and
(iv) diffuse flow is provided across the entire buffer width.
The proposal shall meet all applicable requirements of Paragraph (i) of this Rule for
restoration or enhancement. The proposal shall meet all applicable requirements of Part
(m)(2)(C) of this Rule for preservation.
(F) Enhancement of grazing areas adjacent to streams. Buffer credit at a 2:1 ratio shall be
available for an applicant or mitigation provider who proposes permanent exclusion of
grazing livestock that otherwise degrade the stream and riparian zone through trampling,
grazing, or waste deposition by fencing the livestock out of the stream and its adjacent buffer.
The applicant or mitigation provider shall provide an enhancement plan as set forth in
Paragraph (i). The applicant or mitigation provider shall demonstrate that grazing was the
predominant land use since the effective date of the applicable buffer rule.
(G) Mitigation on ephemeral channels. For purposes of riparian buffer mitigation as described in
this Part, an "ephemeral channel" is defined as a natural channel exhibiting discernible banks
within a topographic crenulation (V-shaped contour lines) indicative of natural drainage on
the 1:24,000 scale (7.5 minute) quadrangle topographic map prepared by the U.S. Geologic
Survey, or as seen on digital elevation models with contours developed from the most recent
available LiDAR data. Ephemeral channels only flow for a short period of time after
precipitation in the immediate area and do not have periods of base flow sustained by
groundwater discharge. The applicant or mitigation provider shall provide a delineation of
the watershed draining to the ephemeral channel. The entire area proposed for mitigation
shall be within the contributing drainage area to the ephemeral channel. The ephemeral
channel shall be directly connected to an intermittent or perennial stream and contiguous with
the rest of the mitigation site protected under a perpetual conservation easement. The area of
the mitigation site on ephemeral channels shall comprise no more than 25 percent of the total
area of mitigation. The proposal shall meet all applicable requirements of Paragraph (i) of
this Rule for restoration or enhancement. The proposal shall meet all applicable
requirements of Part (m)(2)(C) of this Rule for preservation.
(H) Restoration and Enhancement on Ditches. For purposes of riparian buffer mitigation as
described in this Part, a "ditch" is defined as a man-made channel other than a modified
natural stream that was constructed for drainage purposes. To be used for mitigation, a ditch
shall meet all of the following criteria:
(i) be directly connected with and draining towards an intermittent or perennial stream;
(ii) be contiguous with the rest of the mitigation site protected under a perpetual
conservation easement;
(iii) stormwater runoff from overland flow shall drain towards the ditch;
(iv) be between one and three feet in depth; and
(v) the entire length of the ditch shall have been in place prior to the effective date of
the applicable buffer rule.
The width of the restored or enhanced area shall not be less than 30 feet and shall not exceed
50 feet for crediting purposes. The applicant or mitigation provider shall provide a
delineation of the watershed draining to the ditch. The watershed draining to the ditch shall
be at least four times larger than the restored or enhanced area along the ditch. The perpetual
conservation easement shall include the ditch and the confluence of the ditch with the
intermittent or perennial stream, and provide language that prohibits future maintenance of
the ditch. The proposal shall meet all applicable requirements of Paragraph (i) of this Rule
for restoration or enhancement.
(3) ALTERNATIVE BUFFER STORMWATER TREATMENT OPTIONS.
(A) For all structural options: Riparian buffer restoration or enhancement is required with an
area at least equal to the footprint of the buffer impact, and the remaining mitigation resulting
from the multipliers may be met through structural options;
(B) Structural measures already required by other local, state or federal rule or permit cannot be
used as alternative buffer mitigation, except to the extent such measure(s) exceed the
requirements of such rule or permit. Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs),
including bioretention facilities, constructed wetlands, infiltration devices and sand filter are
all potentially approvable (BMPs) for alternative buffer mitigation. Other BMPs may be
approved only if they meet the nutrient removal levels outlined in Part (3)(C) of this
Subparagraph. Existing or planned BMPs for a local, state, or federal rule or permit may be
retrofitted or expanded to improve their nutrient removal if this level of treatment would not
be required by other local, state, or federal rules. In this case, the predicted increase in
nutrient removal may be counted toward alternative buffer mitigation;
(C) Minimum treatment levels: Any structural BMP shall provide at least 30 percent total
nitrogen and 35 percent total phosphorus removal as demonstrated by a scientific and
engineering literature review as approved by the Division. The mitigation proposal shall
demonstrate that the proposed alternative removes an equal or greater annual mass load of
nutrients to surface waters as the buffer impact authorized in the authorization certificate or
variance, following the calculation of impact and mitigation areas pursuant to Paragraphs (d),
(e), and (f) of this Rule. To estimate the rate of nutrient removal of the impacted buffer, the
applicant or mitigation provider shall use a method previously approved by the Division. The
applicant or mitigation provider may propose an alternative method of estimating the rate of
nutrient removal for consideration and review by the Division;
(D) All proposed structural BMPs shall follow the Division's 2009 Stormwater Best Management
Practice Design Manual available at no cost at http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/lr/bmp-manual. If
a specific proposed structural BMP is not addressed in this Manual, the applicant or
mitigation provider shall follow Chapter 20 in this Manual for approval;
(E) All structural options are required to have Division approved operation and maintenance
plans;
(F) All structural options are required to have continuous and perpetual maintenance and shall
follow the Division's 2009 Stormwater Best Management Practice Design Manual;
(G) Upon completion of construction, the designer for the type of BMP installed shall certify that
the system was inspected during construction and that the BMP was constructed in
substantial conformity with plans and specifications approved by the Division;
(H) Removal and replacement of structural options: If a structural option is proposed to be
removed and cannot be replaced on-site, then a structural or non-structural measure of equal
or better nutrient removal capacity in a location as specified by Paragraph (f) and (g) of this
Rule shall be constructed as a replacement;
(I) Renovation or repair of structural options: If a structural option must be renovated or
repaired, it shall be renovated to provide equal or be tter nutrient removal capacity than as
originally designed;
(J) Structural options as well as their operation and maintenance are the responsibility of the
landowner or easement holder unless the Division gives written approval for another
responsible party to operate and maintain them. Structural options shall be located in
recorded drainage easements for the purposes of operation and maintenance and shall have
recorded access easements to the nearest public right-of-way. These easements shall be
granted in favor of the party responsible for operating and maintaining the structure, with a
note that operation and maintenance is the responsibility of the landowner, easement holder
or other responsible party; and
(K) Bonding and endowment. A completion bond payable to the Division sufficient to ensure
that land purchase, construction, monitoring, and maintenance are completed and a non-
wasting endowment or other financial mechanism for perpetual maintenance and protection
shall be provided.
(4) OTHER ALTERNATIVE BUFFER MITIGATION OPTIONS. Other riparian buffer mitigation
options may be considered by the Division on a case-by-case basis after 30-day public notice through
the Division's Water Quality Certification Mailing List in accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0503 as
long as the options otherwise meet the requirements of this Rule. Division staff shall present
recommendations to the Environmental Management Commission for a final decision with respect to
any proposal for alternative buffer mitigation options not specified in this Rule.
(n) ACCOUNTING FOR BUFFER CREDIT, NUTRIENT OFFSET CREDIT AND STREAM MITIGATION
CREDIT. Buffer mitigation credit, nutrient offset credit, wetland mitigation credit, and stream mitigation credit shall be
accounted for in accordance with the following:
(1) Buffer mitigation used for buffer mitigation credit shall not be used for nutrient offset credits;
(2) Buffer mitigation or nutrient offset credit shall not be generated within wetlands that provide wetland
mitigation credit required by 15A NCAC 02H .0506; and
(3) Either buffer mitigation or nutrient offset credit may be generated on stream mitigation sites as long as
the width of the restored or enhanced riparian buffer meets the requirements of Subparagraph (i)(1).
