Regarding the error. | would update the table inthe report, send methe corrected table and yes, the survey should
reflect the same numbers.
Thanks

I do not have an answer for the error, a miss fire by someone that I did not catch. If you would like, I can update the as -
built report and send you a revised survey. Just let me know.

Subject: Orphan Creek credit amounts
Hey Raymond,
As I was preparing the credit release letter for orphan creek, I noticed an error with the credit determination table
(Table 4 in BPDP). When adding the square footage of restoration (196,725.78) and enhancement (37,843.45) together
from Table 4 (for buffer credits), RS shows a total of 234,660.23 ft2 (5.39 acres). But when I add the two numbers
together, I get 234,569.23 ft2 (5.38 ac). The difference between the two numbers is nominal, but I want it to be
right. When looking at the unsigned AsBuilt survey submitted with the AsBuilt report, the numbers are the same as
shown in Table 4. However, since the survey isn't signed(/ will need a signed survey with the original seal stamp to
approve the report (81/2 X14 is acceptable), I wasn't sure if the numbers would change. Can you provide some insight
into this? Otherwise, I'm going to just use the 234,569.23 ft (5.38 ac) and explain there was an error in the BPDP.
Thank you,
Katie

* TOB -20 ft = Buffer is less than 20 ft from the TOB and therefore qualifies for no credit.
TOB -29 ft = Buffer width is contiguous from TOB, is a minimum of 20 ft from the TOB and a maximum of 29 ft from the TOB,
and qualifies for 75% credit.
TOB -100 ft = Buffer width is contiguous from TOB, is a minimum of 29 ft from the TOB and a maximum of 100 ft from the
TOB, and qualifies for 100% credit.
101-200' = Buffer width is contiguous from TOB, is a minimum of 101 ft from the TOB and a maximum of 200 ft from the
TOB, and qualifies for 33% credit.
**Buffer mitigation credits are sought from top of bank to 100'. Beyond buffer credit generating areas, RS is proposing nutrient
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 annual monitoring report to DWR, no later than December 31st of
each year. Quantitative monitoring includes 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 ls` 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.

5.0 Financial Assurance
Per the Credit Release Schedule outlined in Section 3.5 and per the Banking Instrument, Restoration
Systems intends to forgo the release of Task 1 credits and acquisition of a Performance Bond. Restoration
Systems will complete the restoration/construction and upon submittal of the As -built Report 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 each 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.
6.0 Mitigation Potential
The Orphan Creek Bank will provide Jordan buffer mitigation credits for development impacts within the
Cape Fear 02 HUC 03030002 in the Haw River Sub -watershed of Jordan Lake (Figure 6 and DWR Site
Viability Letter, Appendix A). 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 credit.. 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 from phosphorus (Appendix B). Delivered credits are calculated
by applying the delivery factors and the acreage of riparian restoration 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 6
(Appendix A).
