1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY / PROJECT ABSTRACT
1.1 Project Goals and Objectives
The goals of this nutrient offset mitigation project are to: • Improve the overall water quality and aquatic habitat in and around the unnamed tributary of
the Neuse River by reducing nutrient and sediment loads into the streams caused by
agricultural influences, • Improve the richness and diversity of the plant species within the conservation easement, and • Provide perpetual protection for the unnamed tributary to the Neuse River and associated
riparian and upland buffers.
These goals will be met through the following objectives: • By establishing a native plant community to match the endemic plant species at the Bank Site, • By reducing the quantities of exotic invasive species at the Bank Parcel through chemical
methods, • By establishing a conservation easement to provide long-term protection for the Bank Site,
and • By donation of the conservation easement and all of its interests, in perpetuity, to an
accredited or approved land trust or stewardship program.

1.2 Project Background
Located off of Arrington Bridge Road, at its intersection with John Street in Goldsboro, North Carolina (Figure 1, Appendix A) is the Neuse buffer and nutrient offset restoration area previously referred to as the Wayne County Development Alliance Bank Parcel and currently known as the Arrington Bridge Bank Parcel (hereafter referred to as the Bank Site). The Bank Site was proposed to be developed in two (2) phases: Phase I and Phase II. According to the Wayne County Development Alliance Bank Parcel Development Package (BPDP, EcoEngineering, April 2012), Phase I consisted of Parcel Numbers 2598449002 and is located at the northwest corner of the intersection of Arrington Bridge Road and John Street. Phase II consisted of Parcel Numbers 2598632250 (located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Arrington Bridge road and John Street) and 2598543857 (located north of Parcel Number 2598449002, along the west side of John Street, and is separated from Parcel Number 2598449002 by a railroad easement and utility line easement). Since approval of the BPDP, only a portion of Parcel Number 2598632250 was developed and dedicated to Phase II. The Arrington Bridge Bank Parcel Neuse Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Mitigation Site Phase II As-Built Report (McAdams Company, April 27, 2015) describes that portion of land developed for Phase II. Based on the Arrington Bridge Bank Parcel Neuse Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Mitigation Site Phase II As-Built Report (McAdams Company, April 27, 2015), Parcel Number 2598543857 was not developed as part of Phase II. Because the approved BPDP allowed development to occur on Parcel Number 2598543857, it was decided that development on Parcel Number 2598543857 would be dedicated to Phase I. Figure 2.1 (Appendix A) is the signed and sealed Conservation Easement (CE) platted for Phase I. Figure 2.3 (Appendix A) is provided to illustrate the Phase I CE as approved in the BPDP.
Since approval of the BPDP, a portion of Parcel Number 2598427606 has also been added to Phase I; this portion of Phase I will hereafter be referred to as Phase I Expansion. Parcel Number 2598427606 (Phase I Expansion) is located south of Parcel Number 2598449002, along the south side of Arrington Bridge Road. On October 15, 2014, staff from the Division of Water Resources (DWR) authorized approval to this additional area to Phase I, and it is referred to as Phase I Expansion. Figure 2.2 (Appendix A) is the signed and sealed CE platted for Phase I Expansion.

The total signed and sealed Conservation Easement for both Phase I and Phase I Expansion of the
Bank Site consists of + 43.512 acres (Figures 2.1 and 2.2, Appendix A). Figures 2.4 and 2.5

(Appendix A) are provided to illustrate the constructed Phase I and Phase I Expansion
Conservation Easements with aerials.
The purpose of this Bank Site is to improve water quality within the Neuse River watershed by providing off-site mitigation for development (both existing and proposed) requiring stream buffer mitigation and nutrient offset credits.

As shown on the easement plat (Figure 2.1, Appendix A), the CE for Phase I of the Bank Site is
38.886 acres (1,693,874.16 sf). Within the Phase I CE, 0.99 acres (43,124.4 sf) is dedicated to 0’ to
50’ of the Neuse Riparian Buffer and 0.981 acres (42,732.36 sf) is dedicated to 50’ to 100’ of the
Neuse Riparian Buffer. Therefore, a total of 1.971 acres (85,856.76 sf) is dedicated to Neuse
Riparian Buffer. A total of 31.558 acres (1,374,666.48 sf) is dedicated to Nutrient Offset Credits for
nitrogen. Therefore, there are 5.357 acres (233,350.92 sf) of the Phase I Expansion CE that are not
dedicated to either Neuse Riparian Buffer Credits or Nutrient Offset Credits.

The Bank Site Service Area is contained within 8-digit USGS HUC 03020201. Stormwater runoff
from the Bank Site drains into an unnamed tributary of the Neuse River (Stream Index #27-(56)).
According to the N.C. Division of Water Resources Basinwide Information Management System
(BIMS), the Neuse River is classified as Class C and NSW (Nutrient Sensitive Waters) in this
location. The “C” classification is for “waters protected for uses such as secondary recreation,
fishing, wildlife, fish consumption, aquatic life including propagation, survival and maintenance of
biological integrity, and agriculture” while the NSW designation is for “Nutrient Sensitive Waters”.

This Bank Site was established under the terms and conditions of the EBX Neuse Riparian
Buffer Umbrella Mitigation Bank (Bank) made and entered into by EBX Neuse I, LLC (EBX), acting
as the Bank Sponsor, and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources -
Division of Water Quality (DWQ), and was entered into by the parties on November 10, 2008. The
North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources is now hereby referred to as The
North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). The Division of Water Quality is now
hereby referred to as Division of Water Resources (DWR).
1.3 Vegetation Condition
Current stem counts (i.e. a stem is defined as a single living tree) were calculated using vegetation
plot monitoring data. Success will be defined as the survival of a minimum density of 320 planted trees
per acre after five (5) years. Monitoring Year 4 field activities were conducted on August 9, 2018. As of
Monitoring Year 4, Phase I of the Bank Site had eight (8) plots encompassing 0.1977 acres, containing
111 planted stems and 11 different species, which yielded a density of 562 planted stems per acre. For
Phase I Monitoring Year 4, the planted vegetation survival density threshold was met for 7 of the 8
Vegetation Monitoring Plots. Phase I Expansion had three (3) plots encompassing 0.0741 acres,
containing 47 planted stems, which yielded a density of 634 planted stems per acre. CVS Level 2 was
performed in Year 4 to document any volunteer generation. A total of 212 volunteers were observed
across all 11 vegetation plots. Year 4 monitoring recorded an average of 581 planted stems per acre for
the entire Arrington Bridge I Site with an average stem height of 3.9 feet.

In May 2017 the majority of the Arrington Bridge Phase I was replanted with about 6,500 bare roots and
6,000 sapling/container trees. The area around Vegetation Plot 8 on the Phase I Expansion area was
fenced in, replanted, and the plot was reestablished. No additional areas of encroachment were
documented during MY4 in the expansion area. In MY3 there was a 0.85-acre area of mowing that
occurred in the easement at the southeastern corner of Phase I (Figure 4). It appeared that there was some
work done in the DOT roadside ditches on John Street which led us to believe that DOT may have

mistakenly mowed this area. In response, RES installed additional easement markers and replanted this
area and there was no encroachment in MY4.

2.0 METHODOLOGY
2.1 Vegetation Monitoring Plots
Baseline vegetation monitoring was conducted in accordance with CVS-EEP Protocol for Recording
Vegetation (CVS-EEP, v4.2). Table 1 (Appendix C) provides a success summary for each vegetation
monitoring plot. Based on the Year 3 vegetation monitoring, all of the eleven (11) monitoring plots were
above the five (5) year monitoring period requirement. Table 2 (Appendix C) provides a stem count total
and planted stem total by each individual vegetation plot.

Vegetation monitoring plots were photographed and are located in Appendix B. Vegetation Monitoring
Plot Data Sheets are provided in Appendix C. Each Vegetation Monitoring Plot Data Sheet provides
measurements, location, and vigor of each planted species within a respective vegetation monitoring plot.

2.2 Photo Stations
Photographic documentation is a key essential to monitoring the success of the Bank Parcel. Digital
photographs provide a visual assessment of the vegetation conditions. Seven photo stations are located
across the Arrington Bridge I easement and are visited each year during annual monitoring activities.
Each photo station location is mapped on (Figure 3.1 and Figure 3.2 Appendix A). A photo log of the
photo stations can be located in Appendix B.

RE: Arrington Bridge Phase I – Year 3 Monitoring Adaptive Management Work Plan

Dear Katie Merritt,

During Year 3-2017 monitoring activities, RES documented a 0.85 acre easement encorachment area
located on the Arrington Bridge I Riparian Buffer & Nutrient Offsset Mitigation Site. Per the request of
Katie Merritt (DWR), RES is providing this adaptative management plan to address the encorachement
problem.

1. Send letters to the landowner and DOT Maintenance Division.
RES staff sent a letter to Chuck Allen (landowner) and copied NCDOT Division 4 Maintenance
regarding the easement encroachment. The letter clearly explains the rules of the easement and
includes an exhibit showing where the problem occurred.
2. Stake along encroachment area.
RES will stake along the DOT road boundary every 100’ with signs that have contact information
for the North Carolina Wildlife Habitat Foundation.
3. Replant encroachment area.
RES will plant the area that was mowed using one gallon or three gallon trees. Planting will
include a row of trees inset along the easement boundary to provide a clear visual boundary.
4. Re-establish Vegetation Plot 1.
During the encroachment, the majority of Vegetation Plot 1 was destroyed. RES will re-establish
this plot by replacing the plot corners and re-staking and mapping the surviving and re-planted
trees in the plot. The trees will also be measured and flagged for easier monitoring in Year 4-
2018.

RES plans to perform the above mentioned adaptive management activities by the end of 2017. Once
work is completed, RES will provide written notification to NCDWR along with photo documentation to
inform work has been completed.

Thank you,

Ryan Medric | Ecologist

Dear Mr. Allen:

A permanent environmental conservation easement exists on your property on Arrington Bridge
Road. The property is owned by JBA Properties, LLC (Chuck Allen) and the easement is held by
the North Carolina Wildlife Habitat Foundation. Please see attached map showing subject area.

No vegetation cutting or mowing vehicle access is permitted in this area at any time. It has come
to our attention that prohibited activities occurred on the property. A small area at the corner of
Arrington Bridge Road and John Street was mowed inside the easement. This activity may have
occurred in conjunction with NCDOT road maintenance activities. NCDOT Division 4 is copied
on this letter.

Note that this project is constructed, planted, and monitored according to the requirements of the
state government (NCDEQ). Significant cost is incurred when a violation of the easement occurs
for replanting trees and grasses and additional reporting.

Please pass this notice along to anyone that you suspect may be causing this issue. Call me with
any questions and thank you for your assistance.
