EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Restoration Systems (Sponsor) is pleased to provide the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NC
DWR) this Year 1 Annual Monitoring Report for the Weaver Farm Bank Parcel (Parcel). As agreed
upon in the Weaver Farm Mitigation Banking Instrument, made and entered into on July 7th, 2017 by
Restoration Systems, LLC, acting as Bank Sponsor (Sponsor), and the North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality (NCDEQ), Division of Water Resources (DWR). This document details Year 1
(2018) annual monitoring at the Parcel.

Measuring 22.36 acres, the Parcel is designed to provide mitigation credits for unavoidable impacts due to
development within the Neuse River Basin. Neuse River Riparian Buffer mitigation credits provided by
this Parcel are available in the Neuse River Basin, according to 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (Consolidated Buffer
Mitigation Rule – CMB rule) (effective date– October 24th, 2014). Mitigation credits for Nutrient Offset
are made available within the Neuse River Basin USGS 8-digit HUC 03020201 excluding the Falls Lake
Drainage Basin. Supporting figures and tables are located in Appendix A & Appendix B.

NCDWR representatives Katie Merritt and Chris Pullinger conducted an onsite determination for parcel
applicability and suitability on February 21, 2017. A second visit was conducted with Chris Pullinger and
Anthony Scarbraugh on March 2, 2017.

Restoration Systems (RS) purchased the Parcel in fee simple and transferred a conservation easement to
the North Carolina Wildlife Habitat Foundation. The conservation easement was recorded at the Wayne
County Register of Deeds on June 27th, 2017; Book No. 3309, Page No. 279-290.

Restoration construction activities began in July of 2017 and were concluded in December of the same year.
The Parcel was planted with native hardwoods on December 12th, 2017. On December 14th – 16, 2017,
Axiom Environmental installed twenty-two (22) Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) monitoring plots and
collected as-built data. Katie Merritt of DWR performed a restoration verification site visit on February 1st,
2018.

The primary goals associated with the restoration of riparian areas is focused on improving water quality,
enhancing flood attenuation, and restoring wildlife habitat through the creation of a forested riparian buffer
adjacent to stream channels and a forested riparian area along agricultural ditches. These goals will be
accomplished by the following.

1. Removing nonpoint sources of pollution associated with agricultural production, including a)
ceasing the broadcast application of fertilizer, pesticides, and other agricultural materials into and
adjacent to Site surface water conveyances, and b) providing a restored buffer to filter runoff from
adjacent lands.
2. Reducing sedimentation within onsite and downstream receiving waters by reducing bank erosion,
vegetation maintenance, and agricultural land disturbances.
3. Promoting floodwater attenuation by increasing frictional resistance of floodwaters crossing Site
floodplains.
4. Improving aquatic habitat by enhancing stream bed shading and natural detritus input.

5. Providing a terrestrial wildlife corridor and refuge in an area extensively developed for agricultural
production.
6. Restoring and re-establishing natural community structure, habitat diversity, and functional
continuity.
7. Protecting the Site’s riparian buffer functions and values in perpetuity

Weaver Farm Year 1 (2018) Monitoring Report Executive Summary page ii
Weaver Farm MBI Neuse River WS Restoration Systems, LLC
Success criteria have been established to verify that the vegetation component supports community
elements necessary for forest development. Success criteria within the 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.

Year 1 (2018) vegetation monitoring included measurement of twenty-two (22) total vegetation plots,
which occurred October 17, 2018. Stem densities across the Parcel averaged 277 planted tree stems per acre
(excluding livestakes) surviving. Eleven of the twenty-two plots (Plots 2, 7- 9, 11-14, and 16-18) did not
meet success criteria primarily. In addition, overall planted stem survival declined due to major flooding
during Hurricane Florence in mid-September 2018. A remedial action plan has been developed for the Site
and is detailed in Section 3 of this Report (Maintenance and Contingency).

No signs of herbivory, easement encroachment, mowing, pruning, or mulching were observed.
Additionally, minimal invasive species were observed on the Parcel . A remedial action plan will be
implemented with the approval of NCDWR as outlined in section 3.0 of this document.

1.0 MONITORING AND SUCCESS CRITERIA
Restoration monitoring procedures for vegetation will monitor plant survival and species diversity.
Quantitative sampling of vegetation will be performed through twenty-two (22) permanent 10 x 10
meters vegetation plots as outlined in the CVS Level 1-2 Protocol for Recording Vegetation, Version
4.2 (Lee et al. 2008) and will occur in October of each year, with the 1st monitoring data to be
collected no earlier than October. A reference photo will be taken from the origin point of each plot.
All planted stems in the plots will be marked with flagging tape and recorded. Data collected will
include: species, height, planting type (planted stem and/or volunteer). Monitoring of the restoration
efforts will be performed for five years or until success criteria are fulfilled. Restoration Systems
shall submit to NCDWR an annual monitoring report, no later than December 31st of each year.
Reports will document the success of the vegetation and any maintenance, supplemental planting,
or encroachment within the easement areas. Success criteria within the 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.

2.0 MITIGATION POTENTIAL
The removal of livestock had immediate benefits to the Parcel’s drainage features, specifically
Features 1-3. Flushing flows established a new top of bank within these features. Planting of the
new “benches” occurred during reforestation efforts and the revised top of bank was measured
during as-built survey work. As-built credit calculation were based on the new top of bank.
Additionally, the final easement boundary was slightly adjusted along the southern boundary of
Feature’s 1 and 2’s origin; approximately 20’ of easement was added in the section above the
proposed boundary detailed in the Bank Parcel Development Package (BPDP). These two factors
have resulted in a slightly higher mitigation potential than original detailed in the BPDP.

The DWR has determined the nitrogen nutrient abatement of restored riparian area to be 2,273.02
lbs. per acre. Riparian buffer credits will be measured by the hundredth of an acre and converted
into square feet.

Per the as-built survey, the conservation easement measures 22.81 acres, and includes 21.53 acres
of restored riparian area. Of the restored riparian area, 15.37 acres will generate nutrient offset
credit, generating 34,936.31 lbs. of nitrogen offset credit. 6.16 acres of restored riparian area will
generate 268,329.6 sq. ft. of Neuse River riparian buffer credits. Riparian buffer mitigation
generated via restoration, can be used for either Neuse River riparian buffer credits or nutrient offset
credits, but not both. RS must request and receive approval from DWR to transfer any mitigation
credits between riparian buffer and nutrient offset. All mitigation credit assets shall be shown on
the credit ledgers. The Parcel’s mitigation potential is detailed in Table 1 (Appendix A).

3.0 MAINTENANCE AND CONTINGENCY

Due to prolonged inundation during the flooding caused by Hurricane Florence, as well as difficult
existing site conditions, a portion of the site is not on track to meet success criteria. In response, a
portion of the site will undergo remedial action and the entire site will undergo maintenance
activities to better ensure future success sitewide.

The remedial action will focus on 5.4 acres of the site where turkey houses previously stood. This
area has soil compaction and fertility issues from the previous land use, as well as significant flood
impacts. A soil test has been completed, and in response the area will be limed (1 ton/acre), disked,
seeded with temporary and permanent grass seed, covered with straw, and completely replanted at
600 tree stems/acre. The grass seed mix will include cereal rye, redtop grass, and a wildflower mix.
The bare root stock will include Acer rubrum, Liriodendron tulipifera, Quercus nigra, Ulmus
americana, and Taxodium distichum. See appendix D for soil report and Remedial Action Map.

Maintenance activities will encompass the remaining 17.3 acres of the site. These areas will receive
a broadcast perennial seed mix (Redtop grass mix) intended to suppress weedy competition,
A. 9/20/2018: Weaver Farm, post-Florence, with approximate easement boundary.
Foreground of image was ~ 6’ under at peak flood.
Majority of site was inundated for several days, contributing to high stem mortality.
Weaver Farm Year 1 (2018) Monitoring Page 3
Weaver Farm MBI Neuse River WS Restoration Systems, LLC
particularly by prickly Sida (Sida rhombifolia) and dogfennel (Eupatorium capillifolium).
Supplemental planting of ~200 stems/acre will be conducted across 13.8 acres of the maintenance
area. This planting will use the same species mix of bareroot stems as the Remedial Action area,
and will bring the zone back in line with tree success criteria. Finally, a herbicide treatment is
planned for early growing season 2019 to further target these weedy competitors and provide a
targeted release for the planted tree stems.

In total, the site will receive an additional 6,000 trees this planting season (1,000 ACERUB, 2,000
LIRTUL, 1,000 QUENIG, 1,000 TAXDIS, 1,000 ULMAME) across 19.2 acres. The entire site will
be seeded with a perennial grass mix, and in growing season 2019 an herbicide treatment will target
dense areas of weedy competition to release the planted stems.

Recommendations
Lime
If testing finds that soil pH is too low for the crop(s) indicated, a lime recommendation will be given in units of either
ton/acre or lb/1000 sq ft. For best results, mix the lime into the top 6 to 8 inches of soil several months before planting.
For no-till or established plantings where this is not possible, apply no more than 1 to 1.5 ton/acre (50 lb/1000 sq ft) at one
time, even if the report recommends more. You can apply the rest in similar increments every six months until the full rate
is applied. If MG is recommended and lime is needed, use dolomitric lime.
Fertilizer
Recommendations for field crops or other large areas are listed separately for each nutrient to be added (in units of
lb/acre unless otherwise specified). Recommendations for N (and sometimes for B) are based on research/field studies
for the crop being grown, not on soil test results. K-I and P-I values are based on test results and should be > 50. If they
are not, follow the fertilizer recommendations given. If Mg is needed and no lime is recommended, 0-0-22 (11.5% Mg) is
an excellent source; 175 to 250 lb per acre alone or in a fertilizer blend will usually satisfy crop needs, SS-I levels appear
only on reports for greenhouse soil or problem samples.
Farmers and other commercial producers should pay special attention to micronutrient levels. If $, pH$, $pH, C or Z
notations appear on the soil report, refer to . In general, homeowners do not
need to be concerned about micronutrients. Various crop notes also address lime fertilizer needs; visit
Recommendations for small areas, such as home lawns/gardens, are listed in units of lb/1000 sq ft . If you cannot find
the exact fertilizer grade recommended on the report, visit to find information that
may help you choose a comparable alternate. For more information, read
.
Test Results
The first seven values [soil class, HM%, W/V, CEC, BS%, Ac and pH] describe the soil and its degree of acidity. The
remaining 16 [P-I, K-I, Ca%, Mg%, Mn-I, Mn-AI1, Mn-AI2, Zn-I, Zn-AI, Cu-I, S-I, SS-I, Na, ESP, SS-I, NO 3-N (not routinely
available)] indicate levels of plant nutrients or other fertility measurement. Visit
