Preservation Letter- Juniper Farms Wetland Mitigation Site
May 2009
1. INTRODUCTION
This Preservation Letter presents 251.2 acres of forested riverine wetland preservation at the
Juniper Farms Mitigation Site in Johnston County, North Carolina (Figure 1). The Juniper Farms
site is located between Polecat Branch and the Neuse River south of Smithfield in Johnston
County. The proposed easement encompasses 251.2 acres of bottomland hardwood forest on the
Neuse River floodplain. Specifically, the site is located at Latitude 35.444422 Longitude -
78.330389 and is located on the Four Oaks NE, NC USGS Quadrangle (Figure 2).
The purpose of this project is to generate wetland preservation mitigation credits for the Neu-Con
Umbrella Mitigation Bank. The site is consistent with applicable federal guidance and the
provisions of the Neu-con Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI). Acreages presented in this
Preservation Letter are approximate. The legal limits of the preservation site will be finalized
when the conservation easement is recorded. The parcel boundaries and proposed easement limits
displayed in the report are based on Johnston County GIS data and field collected GPS data. The
final recorded conservation easement will be consistent with the Neu-Con MBI Section 11, III.E.
Consistent with the Neu-Con MBI, mitigation credits may be used to offset wetland impacts
authorized by Section 404 permits. Typically, credits will be debited at a 2:1 ratio (Section LF.3
Neu-Con MBI). One of these credits must be restoration and the remaining credit may be any
combination of restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation. The Juniper Farms Mitigation
Site wetland mitigation credits will be used in conjunction with restoration credits in the
hydrologic unit code (HUC) 03020201. The site is presented with mitigation ratios of 5:1 and 6:1
depending on forest type and has a total of 44.6 wetland mitigation credits (Table 1).
Preservation credits will not exceed restoration credits in HUC 03020201.

II. STUDY AREA
PHYSIOGRAPHY, TOPOGRAPHY, AND DRAINAGE
The Juniper Farms mitigation site is located in the Upper Neuse River Basin within the USGS
HUC 03020201 and North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) sub-basin 03-04-02. The
site is in the Coastal Plain Physiographic Province, but is very near the Fall Line. The underlying
geology is mapped as metavolcanic rocks, specifically felsic volcanics. Felsic volcanics are found
in the Carolina Slate Belt and are, in part, sedimentary in origin. They are found along the eastern
edge of piedmont lenses of gneiss, schist, and phyllite.
The site is located on the Neuse River Floodplain and has relatively flat topography. Elevations
range from 100 to 105 feet above mean sea level (NAD 27) based upon USGS mapping (Figure
2). The preservation area drains into both Polecat Branch and the Neuse River. Natural drainage
patterns throughout the watershed have been largely unaltered. Several sloughs and
drainageways cross the property and beaver dams and abandoned roadbeds influence the drainage
patterns. The dominant land use in the project vicinity is woodlands and agricultural production.
The proposed conservation easement is entirely forested wetlands.
Polecat Branch is listed as Class C; Nutrient Sensitive Waters by DWQ. The primary
classification "C" indicates waters that support aquatic life and secondary recreational uses. The
supplemental classification denotes nutrient sensitive waters that may need additional nutrient
management due to being subject to excessive growth of microscopic or macroscopic vegetation.
Polecat Branch discharges into the Neuse River approximately 3 miles downstream of the
preservation site. The Neuse River is listed as Water Supply V; Nutrient Sensitive Waters. Water
Supply V waters are protected as water supplies which are generally upstream and draining to
Water Supply IV waters or waters used by industry to supply their employees with drinking water
or as waters formerly used as water supply. These waters are also protected for Class C uses.
SOIL MAPPING
The proposed preservation area soils are mapped as Wehadkee-Chastain association, frequently
flooded and Chewacla loam, frequently flooded by the Johnston County Soil survey (Figure 3).
Wehadkee-Chastain association, frequently flooded soils are located on nearly level broad
floodplains. These soils are poorly drained, moderately permeable, and nearly entirely woodland.
Chewacla loam, frequently flooded soils are located on broad floodplains, slightly elevated above
Wehadkee soils. They are poorly drained, moderately permeable, and mostly woodland. Both soil
map units are on the North Carolina hydric soil list.
Nine soil borings were performed across the proposed conservation easement in representative
locations (Appendix A). The three soil borings in the mapped Chewacla soils confirmed the
presence of hydric soils. The surface horizons were typically silt loam with a dark brown color.
Low chroma colors and redoximorphic features were encountered 4-10 inches below the surface
in silty clay and clay loam textures. The six soil borings in the mapped Wehadkee-Chastain soils
also confirmed the presence of hydric soils. These borings were more variable but typically had a
silt loam or silty clay loam surface texture and dark grayish brown color. Redoximorphic features
and/or consistently

low chroma colors were encountered at 3-6 inches below the surface. Subsurface textures were
higher in clay content and ranged from clay loam to clay.
WETLAND ASSESSMENT
Due to the uniform nature of the site, flat topography, and allowance for small non-wetland
inclusions, a wetland delineation was not performed on the proposed preservation site. Rather,
nine representative locations were selected for detailed vegetation analysis and wetland
assessment. At each plot location, a routine On-Site Wetland Determination Form was completed
(Appendix A). This included recording the dominant vegetation in each stratum, soil boring to at
least 18 inches, and recording primary and secondary wetland hydrology indicators (USACE,
1987).
The wetland assessment found that the preservation area is almost entirely jurisdictional wetland.
Small areas of non-wetland are present adjacent to access roads and small areas of slightly
elevated topography. The vegetation is dominated by OBL and FACW species and is described in
detail in Section III of this report. Both soil mapping and on-site soil borings demonstrate hydric
soils are present across the proposed preservation site. Soils are described in detail above.
Wetland hydrology indicators included inundation, water table near the soil surface, water stained
leaves, crayfish chimneys, water marks on trees, positive FAC-neutral test, and multiple stemmed
trees. Onsite wetlands primarily have a Cowardin classification of Palustrine Forested Broad-
leaved Deciduous Seasonally Flooded/Semi-permanently Flooded by Beaver (PFOIC/Fb).
PROTECTED SPECIES
The Natural Heritage Program (NHP) database and US Fish and Wildlife (USFWS) county listing
were used to identify state and federally protected species that occur in Johnston County. These
species are listed in Table 2. No protected species were observed during the field evaluations
conducted on the site. Suitable habitat for Virginia least trillium (Trillium pusillum var.
virginianum) and cerulean warbler (Dendroica cerulea) are found on the site. A scoping letter
has been mailed to the NHP and USFWS for their concurrence (Appendix G).
The Juniper Farms wetland preservation will help to maintain water quality in Polecat Branch and
the Neuse River. This could provide benefits to state and federally listed species that utilize the
Neuse River and other riverine habitats downstream of the Juniper Farms site. Protected species
that might benefit from improved downstream water quality include the state threatened Creeper
mussel (Strophitus undulatus) and Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus); and federally
endangered Dwarf Wedge mussel (Alasmidonta heterodon) and Tar River Spiny mussel (Elliptio
steinstansana).
The Natural Heritage Program database does not list any element occurrences or significant
natural heritage areas within the Juniper Farms site. However, a significant natural heritage area
encompassing the Neuse River and its flood plains lies adjacent to the eastern boundary of the
preservation site. There are also several element occurrences downstream from the site and
adjacent to the Neuse River. These include oxbow lakes, coastal plain bottomland hardwoods,
and coastal plain levee forest.

CULTURAL RESOURCES
A search of the files at the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office revealed no historic
structures within a one mile radius of the proposed preservation site. No structures were observed
during site visits. A review of the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) database did not
reveal any known historic resources in the project vicinity. A scoping letter has been mailed to
the SHPO office for their concurrence (Appendix G).
ENVIRONMENTAL SCREENING
An Environmental Data Resources (EDR) Radius Map with GeoCheck report was ordered to
perform an environmental screening of the preservation site (Appendix B). A historic photo
report and historic mapping report were also reviewed. The EDR GeoCheck report includes
searches of 37 Federal Databases and 15 State and Local databases. None of these databases
revealed any mapped database occurrences. Twenty-nine unmapped database elements were
identified. Based on the element street addresses, none were in the project vicinity or immediately
upgradient of the proposed preservation easement.
III. EXISTING CONDITIONS
WK Dickson performed a vegetation survey across the preservation area. Nine 1/loth acre plots
were established in representative locations to quantify the forest stand parameters, and delineate
the existing natural communities. Within each vegetation plot, all trees =3-inch DBH were
identified and measured. All shrub species and herbaceous species were identified and general
observations were made on abundance. The age and height of one canopy tree was determined in
each plot and representative photographs were taken at each plot. The vegetation survey
identified three distinct natural communities: mature bottomland hardwoods, successional
WK Dickson & Co., Inc. 7

bottomland hardwoods (saturated), and successional bottomland hardwoods (inundated). Table 3
presents basic vegetation plot data. Table 4 presents vegetation data by natural community.
Figure 4 displays the plot locations and community delineation. All vegetation survey data are
presented in Appendix C. Detailed descriptions of the natural communities are given in the

MATURE BOTTOMLAND HARDWOODS
Three vegetation plots were located in the 82.8 acre Mature Bottomland Hardwood community.
Dominant tree species include red maple (Acer rubrum), netleaf hackberry (Celtis laevigata),
green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), American hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana), sweetgum
(Liquidambar styraciflua), cherrybark oak (Quercus pagodafolia), and slippery elm (Ulmus
rubra). Shrub species include hawthorn (Crataegus sp.), privet (Ligustrum sinense), pawpaw
(Asimina triloba), and possumhaw holly (Ilex decidua). Woody vines include greenbriar (Smilax
sp.), crossvine (Bignonia capreolata), muscadine (Vitis sp.), and poison ivy (Toxicodendron
radicans). Herbaceous species include Nepalese browntop (Microstegium vimineum), sedge
(Carex sp.), smallspike false-nettle (Boehmeria cylindrica), and giant cane (Arundinaria
gigantea). This community has very few invasive species and contained many large specimen
oaks. The mature hardwoods form a dense canopy, and the shrub and herb strata are relatively
open. Canopy tree heights ranged from 98 to 116 feet, and ages ranged from 50 to 72 years.
Several sloughs are present and offer open water habitat diversity. Bald cypress (Taxodium
distichum) trees are present on the slough shores. Disturbance is minimal and includes hunting
trails and damage from wild boars (Sus scrofa). The water table was typically at or near the soil
surface, and water

marks are visible on many trees. The mature bottomland hardwood community most closely
resembles the Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwoods (Brownwater Subtype) described in Schafale
and Weakley, and is classified as a Bottomland Hardwood Forest using the draft NC Wetland
Assessment Method (NCWAM) dichotomous key to general NC wetland types. This is a high
quality wetland ecosystem, and a mitigation ratio of 5:1 is recommended.
SUCCESSIONAL BOTTOMLAND HARDWOODS (SATURATED)
Four vegetation plots were located in the 118.6 acre successional bottomland hardwood
(Saturated) community. Dominant tree species include red maple, green ash, sweetgum, water
hickory (Carya aquatica), Eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoides), and black willow (Salix
nigra). Shrub species include possumhaw holly. Woody vines include greenbriar and Japanese
honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica). Herbaceous species include sedge and smallspike false-nettle.
Canopy tree heights ranged from 23 to 73 feet, and ages ranged from 18 to 34 years. This
community is permanently saturated and frequently flooded due to topography along Polecat
Branch and beaver impoundments. The hydrologic regime has impeded tree growth and led to a
semi-open canopy and sparse herbaceous layer. Small areas of open water are present as a result
of wind damage and microtopography. These wetter areas contain bald cypress and overcup oak
(Quercus lyrata). This community has few invasive species and disturbance is limited to
roads/trails, beaver impoundments, and past timber harvesting. The water was typically 0-4
inches above the ground surface at the time of the vegetation survey. Water marks are visible on
many trees. The Successional Bottomland Hardwood (Saturated) community most closely
resembles a successional Coastal Plain Small Stream Swamp (Brownwater Subtype) as described
in Schafale and Weakley, and is classified as a Riverine Swamp Forest using the draft NC
Wetland Assessment Method (NCWAM) dichotomous key to general NC wetland types. This is
a high quality wetland ecosystem, but due to past silvicultural practices and the relatively small
size of the trees, a mitigation ratio of 7.2:1 is recommended.
SUCCESSIONAL BOTTOMI.AND HARDWOODS (INUNDATED)
Two vegetation plots were located in the 49.8 acre Successional Bottomland Hardwood
(Inundated) community. Dominant tree species include red maple, green ash, sweetgum, and
Eastern cottonwood. Shrub species include possumhaw holly and American hornbeam. Woody
vines include greenbriar and trumpet creeper (Campsis radicans). Herbaceous species include
sedge, leathery bulrush (Juncus coriaceous), lizard-tail (Saururus cernuus), and leafy bulrush
(Scirpus polyphyllus). Canopy tree heights ranged from 38 to 63 feet, and ages ranged from 16 to
18 years. This community is flooded due to topography along Polecat Branch and beaver
impoundments. The hydrologic regime has impeded tree growth and led to an open canopy and
sparse herbaceous layer. Small areas of open water are present as a result of wind damage and
microtopography. These wetter areas contain bald cypress, cottonwood, and free-floating aquatic
species. This community has few invasive species, and disturbance is limited to roads/trails,
beaver impoundments, and past timber harvesting. The water was typically 4-8 inches above the
ground surface at the time of the vegetation survey. The Successional Bottomland Hardwood
(Saturated) community most closely resembles a successional Coastal Plain Small Stream Swamp
(Brownwater Subtype), and grades into a Coastal Plain Semi-permanent Impoundment as
described in Schafale and Weakley. It is also classified as a Riverine Swamp Forest that grades
into a Non-tidal Freshwater Marsh using the draft NC Wetland Assessment Method (NCWAM)
dichotomous key to general NC wetland types. This is a high quality wetland ecosystem, but due
to past silvicultural practices and the relatively small size of the trees, a mitigation ratio of 7.2:1 is
recommended.

IV. MITIGATION ASSESSMENT •
•
The Juniper Farms Preservation Site is a unique and valuable wetland ecosystem. The wetland
areas provide many water quality and habitat functions within the sensitive Neuse River •
watershed. The discussion below details the wetland and water quality functions of the site, as •
well as its unique ecological attributes.
•
WETLAND AND WATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT •
The NC Division of Water Quality(DWQ) developed a rating system that quantifies wetland
quality for the purpose of assessing impacts under their 401 Water Quality Certification. Rating •
system data sheets and a summary of the system are included in Appendix D. Utilizing the DWQ •
Wetland Rating System, the mature bottomland hardwood wetlands (Stand 1) scored 54 points;
the successional bottomland hardwood (saturated) wetlands (Stand 2) scored 55 points; and the •
successional bottomland hardwood (inundated) wetlands (Stand 2) scored 55 points. •
The Juniper Farms preservation area is frequently flooded by the Neuse River. Figure 5 depicts •
the flood frequency on the Neuse River at the US 70 bridge in Smithfield, approximately nine •
miles upstream of the project, for 2004-2008. Several flood events have been recorded that
inundated the preservation area. •

NCDWQ Basinwide assessment benthic macroinvertebrate water quality monitoring on the •
Neuse River downstream of the project area (SR 1201 crossing) was rated as Good in 2000 and •
Good in 2005. There were no fish monitoring locations near the Juniper Farms site. •

• At this monitoring site, the Neuse River is 60 feet wide with a drainage area of 1664.2 square
• miles. The substrate is mostly sand, and instream habitat for macroinvertebrate colonization was
poor. The Johnston County WWTP (N00030716) is located approximately 15 miles above this
• site, discharging into the Neuse River. This WWTP had six limit violations for mercury in 2005

• and one in 2002. Four limit violations for flow and two limit violations for BOD occurred in
200
3. In the four times since 1991 that this site has been sampled, it has consistently received a
• bioclassification of Good.

UNIQUE ECOLOGICAL ATTRIBUTES
The Juniper Farms site lies adjacent to the Cowbone Oxbows/Sage Pond Natural Area, an area
the Natural Heritage Program has designated a significant natural heritage area. This area
encompasses the Neuse River and floodplain areas, and lies downstream of the Juniper Farms
site. This area contains NHP element occurrences of coastal plain bottomland hardwoods.
Similar significant natural heritage areas just downstream of the Cowbone Oxbows/Sage Pond
Natural Area contain NHP occurrences of cypress-gum swamp and the Cerulean warbler, a
federal species of concern. The Juniper Farms preservation area will provide similar habitat and
prevent potential fragmentation of the Neuse River floodplain in that vicinity.
WETLAND MITIGATION CREDITS
Based on the high quality wetlands present, benefits to water quality, and unique ecological
attributes, the Juniper Farms preservation site will generate 44.6 wetland mitigation credits in
HUC 03020201. These credits are based on a 5:1 mitigation ratio for mature bottomland
hardwoods and a 6:1 mitigation ratio for successional bottomland hardwoods. The site is
consistent with applicable federal guidance and the provisions of the Neu-con Mitigation Banking
Instrument (MBI). The legal limits of the preservation site will be finalized when the
conservation easement is recorded.
V. ADMINISTRATIVE AND REGULATORY ISSUES
HUC SERVICE AREA
The site will serve impacts in HUC 03020201. This HUC encompasses the upper Neuse River
drainage area and its major and minor tributaries. The preserved wetlands are bottomland
hardwood forests, sloughs, and beaver impoundments. These communities are considered riverine
as defined in 15A: NCAC2R0502(b) of Regulation.
Consistent with the Neu-Con MBI, the Juniper Farms Preservation Site will be used in
conjunction with and will supplement restoration mitigation acreage being provided by EBX in
HUC 03020201. The use and application of the credits will be consistent with I.F.3 of the Neu-
Con BMI. Under no circumstance will the preservation credits exceed 50 percent of the total
credits being provided in HUC 03020201. The preservation credits may also be used in other
authorized HUCs on a case-by-case basis, as approved by the MBRT.

MONITORING
A conservation easement monitoring data sheet has been created and will be required to be
maintained by the conservation easement holder (Appendix E). The Corps can request to review
completed data sheets at their discretion, or it can request that they be submitted annually. NC
DWQ will be copied when monitoring data sheets are submitted to the Corps. These data sheets
document observed adjacent land uses and naturalist observations such as wildlife and plant life.
CREDIT RELEASE
The schedule of credit availability will be dictated by the provisions of IV E.1(a) of the Neu-Con
MBI. It provides as follows:
"For preservation acreage, the projected credit total shall be available for sale, and
debiting, provided the following minimum requirements have been satisfied with regard
to the Bank: (i) the Banking Instrument is executed and the Site Specific Mitigation Plan
has been approved by the MBRT; (ii) credits are established consistent with Section I.F.3
and the Site Specific Mitigation Plan; (iii) a conservation easement is placed on a Bank
Site or approved phase of a Bank Site; and (iv) appropriate financial assurances of a type
and amount acceptable to the Corps and the MBRT have been established, only if such
preservation acreage is used in conjunction with restoration or creation acreage and such
financial assurance is necessary for the restoration and creation acreage."
CONSERVATION EASEMENT
Consistent with Section III G of the Neu-Con MBI, a conservation easement will be placed over
the preserved areas in perpetuity. The easement will be recorded in the chain of title and will be
held by a qualified land trust, non-profit organization or government entity. A copy of a sample
Deed of Easement provided to EBX by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is included in
Appendix F. Consistent with Section III G.2, to the extent a conservation easement is placed on
acreage that is approved for credit release and the Bank Sponsor determines that such acreage
will not be debited or used, such acreage may be released from the preservation requirement upon
written notice to and approval from the MBRT.
FINANCIAL ASSURANCES
The Neu-Con MBI does not require financial assurances for preservation acreage (Section III F).
Nevertheless, in order for preservation credits to be released, financial assurances must be placed
on any restoration acreage used in conjunction with the preservation acreage (Section IV.E.1).
EBX presently maintains financial assurances not only for restoration acreage in the HUC, but
also for the land value of the Juniper Farms preservation acreage. EBX will obtain an
endowment to the easement holder, Wetlands America Trust, Inc., for the long-term
financial management of the site. These financial assurances exceed the requirements of the
Neu-Con MBI.
VI. CONCLUSIONS
The Juniper Farms wetland preservation will generate 44.6 wetland mitigation credits for the
Neu-Con Umbrella Mitigation Bank. The site is consistent with applicable federal guidance and
the provisions of the Neu-con Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI). The Juniper Farms wetland
mitigation credits will be used in conjunction with restoration credits in the hydrologic unit code

EDR's GeoCheck Physical Setting Source Addendum is provided to assist the environmental professional in
forming an opinion about the impact of potential contaminant migration.
Assessment of the impact of contaminant migration generally has two principle investigative components:
1. Groundwater flow direction, and
2. Groundwater flow velocity.
Groundwater flow direction may be impacted by surface topography, hydrology, hydrogeology, characteristics
of the soil, and nearby wells. Groundwater flow velocity is generally impacted by the nature of the
geologic strata.
TC2314204.2s Page A-1
GEOCHECK® - PHYSICAL SETTING SOURCE SUMMARY
GROUNDWATER FLOW DIRECTION INFORMATION
Groundwater flow direction for a particular site is best determined by a qualified environmental professional
using site-specific well data. If such data is not reasonably ascertainable, it may be necessary to rely on other
sources of information, such as surface topographic information, hydrologic information, hydrogeologic data
collected on nearby properties, and regional groundwater flow information (from deep aquifers).
TOPOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
Surface topography may be indicative of the direction of surficial groundwater flow. This information can be used to
assist the environmental professional in forming an opinion about the impact of nearby contaminated properties or,
should contamination exist on the target property, what downgradient sites might be impacted.

GEOCHECW - PHYSICAL SETTING SOURCE SUMMARY
HYDROLOGIC INFORMATION
Surface water can act as a hydrologic barrier to groundwater flow. Such hydrologic information can be used to assist
the environmental professional in forming an opinion about the impact of nearby contaminated properties or, should
contamination exist on the target property, what downgradient sites might be impacted.
Refer to the Physical Setting Source Map following this summary for hydrologic information (major waterways
and bodies of water).

Hydrogeologic information obtained by installation of wells on a specific site can often be an indicator
of groundwater flow direction in the immediate area. Such hydrogeologic information can be used to assist the
environmental professional in forming an opinion about the impact of nearby contaminated properties or, should
contamination exist on the target property, what downgradient sites might be impacted.

EDR has developed the AQUIFLOW Information System to provide data on the general direction of groundwater
flow at specific points. EDR has reviewed reports submitted by environmental professionals to regulatory
authorities at select sites and has extracted the date of the report, groundwater flow direction as determined
hydrogeologically, and the depth to water table.

GROUNDWATER FLOW VELOCITY INFORMATION
Groundwater flow velocity information for a particular site is best determined by a qualified environmental professional
using site specific geologic and soil strata data. If such data are not reasonably ascertainable, it may be necessary
to rely on other sources of information, including geologic age identification, rock stratigraphic unit and soil
characteristics data collected on nearby properties and regional soil information. In general, contaminant plumes
move more quickly through sandy-gravelly types of soils than silty-clayey types of soils.
GEOLOGIC INFORMATION IN GENERAL AREA OF TARGET PROPERTY
Geologic information can be used by the environmental professional in forming an opinion about the relative speed
at which contaminant migration may be occurring.

Dear Mr. Suiter,
• The Iniper Farms site has been identified by Environmental Banc & Exchange as a wetland
preservation site to provide compensatory mitigation for unavoidable stream and wetland
impacts. This site consists of bottomland hardwood forest in the Neuse River floodplain
approximately four miles southeast of Smithfield (Figure 1 and Figure 2).
We have obtained an updated species list for Johnston County from the FWS web site
(http://nc-es.fws.gov/es/countyfr.html). The threatened or endangered species for Johnston
County are given in Table 1. We have determined that potentially suitable habitat for Virginia
• least trillium and cerulean warbler exists at this site. No protected species have been
observed in the course of field investigations.
We are requesting that you please provide any known information for each species in the
• county that may impact this project. The USFWSwill be contacted if we determine that the
project may affect one or more federally listed species.
