Cloud and Banner Bank Parcel Development Plan ii May 2019

1 INTRODUCTION
Environmental Banc and Exchange, LLC (EBX, LLC), an entity of RES, is pleased to provide
this Bank Parcel Development Plan (BPDP) for the Cloud and Banner Riparian Buffer and
Nutrient Offset Mitigation Bank (Parcel). This Parcel is designed to provide riparian buffer and
nutrient offset credits for unavoidable impacts due to development within the Haw River
Subwatershed of the Jordan Lake Watershed, United States Geological Survey (USGS) 8 -digit
Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03030002 and 14 -digit HUC 03030002030070 (Figure 1). This
BPDP is in accordance with the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B.0295, 15A
NCAC 02B.0240 and the RES Cloud and Banner Mitigation Banking Instrument for Riparian
Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset Credits (MBI), made and entered into by EBX, LLC acting
as the Bank Sponsor (Sponsor), and the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality -
Division of Water Resources (DWR). Supporting figures can be found in Appendix A.
The BPDP has also been designed in concurrence with the Cloud and Banner Stream and Wetland
Mitigation Bank (SAW #2016-02451). The mitigation plan for the Cloud and Banner Stream and
Wetland Mitigation Bank was approved by the Interagency Review Team (IRT) in April, 2019.
The Cloud and Banner Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank is proposed to provide 4,053 Stream
Mitigation Units (SMUs) and 8.20 Wetland Mitigation Units (WMUs) within the conservation
easement through a separate mitigation banking instrument with the IRT.
1.1 Parcel Location
The Parcel is located in Alamance County approximately three miles north of Mebane, North
Carolina east of NC Highway 119 (Figure 2). The Parcel is located within Haw River
Subwatershed within the Jordan Lake Watershed, USGS 14 -digit HUC 03030002030070, a
Targeted Local Watershed, and DWR Subbasin Number 03-06-02.
To access the Parcel, head north on NC 119 from the Town of Mebane and turn right onto Mrs.
White Lane. Head northeast for approximately 0.71 -mile, then turn left onto an unmarked dirt
path locally known as "Wildman Lane". The coordinates of the site are 36.143777°, -79.271535°.
1.2 Parcel Overview
The Parcel is being proposed to restore and enhance stream and wetland complexes with their
adjacent riparian buffers and their functions and values to compensate, in appropriate
circumstances, for unavoidable riparian buffer impacts and nutrient load reduction requirements.
When combining the Cloud and Banner Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank with the Cloud and
Banner Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset Bank, the conservation easement will total
approximately 59.76 acres and includes a portion of Back Creek and four unnamed tributaries
that drain to Back Creek. The Parcel is located in an area dominated by forest and agriculture
with pockets of low-density residential areas (Figure 3). Current land use within the project
ranges from managed, regularly harvested hay to forested communities. The project area still
Cloud and Banner Bank Parcel Development Plan 1 May 2019

retains fencing from past livestock grazing and impacts from historical ditching. Historical land
use has resulted in degraded water quality and unstable channel characteristics throughout the
project area.
Back Creek is the main hydrologic feature in the Project. There are also four unnamed tributaries
and seven wetland areas included in the Project (Figure 3). The five tributaries on the project site
are referred to as UT2, UT4, UT5, UT6, and Back Creek. Stream identifications and buffer
viability determinations were verified by the DWR site visit on June 21, 2016. Correspondence
regarding this determination is in Appendix B.
Under the Cloud and Banner Nutrient Offset and Buffer Bank, proposed activities involve
restoring and preserving riparian buffer areas adjacent to mitigated streams onsite (Figure 4;
Appendix B). Riparian Buffer and/or Nutrient credit generation zones will not be used for the
generation of any other credit type (i.e. the same square foot of buffer cannot be used to generate
wetland credit, nutrient offset credits or state buffer credits). Under this BPDP, the Project will
generate Riparian Buffer and/or Nutrient credit within two dedicated zones from the edge of the
bank: the 0 to 50 foot -wide zone of buffer perpendicular landward; and the 151-200 foot -wide
zone of buffer perpendicular from the top of the bank. The zone 51-150 feet from the top of bank
will be claimed for additional stream credit in the Cloud and Banner Stream and Wetland
Mitigation Bank (Figure 5) and is not double -counted under this program. The Cloud and Banner
Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank will also restore wetlands and generate wetland credits on-
site; therefore, any area where wetland credits are proposed will also be excluded from the
dedicated Riparian Buffer and/or Nutrient credit generation zones. There will be no overlap in
the Riparian Buffer and/or Nutrient bank credit areas, wetland credit areas, and buffer areas
dedicated for additional stream credit generation (Figure 6).
The bank parcel will be placed under a 59.76 -acre permanent conservation easement. Within the
easement, 4.35 acres will be restored for riparian buffer credit, 0.17 acre will be restored for
nutrient offset credit, and 11.64 acres will be preserved. According to 15A NCAC 02B.0295(o)(4)
and (5), "the area of preservation credit within a buffer mitigation site shall comprise of no more
than 25% of the total area of buffer mitigation". As the total area of buffer restoration accounts
for 4.52 acres, the total credits that could be generated from the preservation area will not exceed
1.45 acres.
2 PROJECT AREA — EXISTING CONDITIONS
2.1 Physiography
The Project is located within the Piedmont Physiographic region, specifically within the Southern
Outer Piedmont Ecoregion. The physiography of the ecoregion is mostly characterized by hills,
ridges and irregular plains. Streams generally have a low to moderate gradient with cobble, gravel,
and sandy substrates. Elevations range from 528 to 561 feet above mean sea level (NAD 27)
Cloud and Banner Bank Parcel Development Plan 2 May 2019

based upon USGS topographic mapping (Figure 7). A portion of Back Creek and four unnamed
tributaries to Back Creek are established on the Cloud and Banner Bank Parcel.
Back Creek has been classified as Water Supply -II (WS -II), High Quality Waters (HQW), and
Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW). Waters classified as WS -II are sources of water supply for
drinking, culinary, or food processing purposes where a WS -I, II or III classification is not
feasible. These waters are also protected for Class C uses. WS -II waters are generally in
predominantly undeveloped watersheds. All WS -II waters are HQW by supplemental
classification. Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW) is a supplemental classification intended for
waters needing additional nutrient management due to being subject to excessive growth of
microscopic or macroscopic vegetation (NCDWQ 2019). Natural drainage patterns throughout
the watershed have been altered by agricultural production, agricultural ponds, and dredging of
the channels. Within the proposed mitigation area, the channels drain surface water and
groundwater from the surrounding hayfields.
2.2 Soils
The current Alamance County Soil Survey shows nine soil map units across the project. Project
soil map units (of various slopes and modified regimes) are mapped by the NRCS as Chewacla
loam, Cullen clay loam, Helena sandy loam, Riverview loam, Rowan -Poindexter complex, and
Vance sandy loam (Table 1; Figure 8). All units are well drained except for Chewacla loam,
which is somewhat poorly drained, and Helena sandy loam, which is moderately well drained.

2.3 Existing Riparian Conditions
Current land use in the vicinity of the project is primarily agricultural hay production and
disturbed riparian buffer. Current site conditions demonstrate significant habitat degradation as a
result of impacts from agriculture, ditching, and historic land uses
The site viability letter from DWR in Appendix B provides details on land -uses within the
riparian areas on the site. There have been no significant changes to the site since our site viability
assessment in 2016, as seen in Existing Condition site photographs taken in April 29, 2019 and
included in Appendix E.
The riparian zones around Back Creek and the project tributaries are primarily young deciduous
forest composed of sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), boxelder (Acer negundo), green ash
(Fraxinus pennsylvanica), winged elm (Ulmus alata) and common persimmon (Diospyros
virginiana). Within existing wetland areas, vegetation is primarily a young deciduous forest with
a sparse shrub layer of winged elm and common persimmon. Herbaceous vegetation includes
harvestlice (Agrimonia parviflora), shallow sedge (Carex lurida), and fox sedge (Carex
vulpinoidea) with scattered common rush (Juncus effuses) and wild garlic (Allium vineale). In the
ditches and lower ponded areas, vegetation is shrub -shrub consisting of common button bush
(Cephalanthus occidentalis), black willow (Salix nigra), and common rush (Juncus effusus). The
majority of the wetland restoration areas are entirely within active agricultural hayfields
containing grasses and sedges and lacking woody vegetation. Species include shallow sedge, fox
sedge, common rush, spring flowering Atamasco lily (Zephyranthes atamasca), various pasture
grasses and other forbs.
The streams within the Parcel limits including Back Creek and the four unnamed tributaries are
described below. All project reaches are subject to the Jordan Water Supply Buffer Protection
Rule 15A NCAC 02B.0267 and are therefore being proposed to generate buffer restoration and
preservation mitigation credit under 15A NCAC 02B.0295(n) and (o)(5) (Appendix B).
Back Creek — Back Creek has a moderately wide floodplain within the Parcel and is surrounded
by rolling upland slopes and ridges. Back Creek has a drainage area of 14.52 square miles (9,291
acres), and flows northeast to southwest through the project area, past confluences with UT2,
UT4, UT5, and UT6, to NC Highway 119 before discharging into Stagg Creek and eventually,
Quaker Creek Reservoir. The reach is approximately 4,880 linear feet within the Parcel. The
channel buffers have been degraded leading to localized bank erosion and mass wasting.
UT2 — UT2 has a drainage area of 0.08 square miles (51 acres) and flows south through an
existing 15 -inch -wide corrugated metal pipe at a stream crossing before coming to a confluence
with Back Creek. The reach is 883 linear feet. The riparian buffer has a limited width and is
primarily comprised of young softwood vegetation. The channel pattern has seen significant
anthropogenic modification including straightening and dredging.
Cloud and Banner Bank Parcel Development Plan 4 May 2019

UT4 — UT4 has a drainage area of 0.11 square miles (73 acres) and flows north from existing
wetlands through an existing 18 -inch -wide corrugated metal pipe at a stream crossing to a
confluence with Back Creek. The reach is 852 linear. The riparian buffer has a limited width and
is primarily comprised of young softwood vegetation. The channel pattern has seen significant
anthropogenic modification including straightening and dredging.
UT5 — UT5 has a drainage area of 0.24 square miles (155 acres) and flows north from an existing
impoundment through a ford crossing to a confluence with Back Creek. The riparian buffer has a
limited width and is primarily comprised of young softwood vegetation. The reach is 726 linear
feet. The channel pattern has seen significant anthropogenic modification including straightening
and dredging.
UT6 — UT6 has a drainage area of 0.05 square miles (32 acres) and flows south from NC Highway
119 through an existing wetland to a confluence with Back Creek. The reach is 702 linear feet.
The riparian buffer is primarily comprised of young hardwood vegetation.
2.4 Wetlands
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetland Inventory Map (NWI)
depicts several areas of potential wetland areas within the project bounds (Figure 9). A
delineation of existing wetlands was performed on April 2017, and an additional area was
delineated in July 2018. The delineation was performed using current methodology outlined in
the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory
1987) and Regional Supplement to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation
Manual: Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region (Version 2.0) (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
2010). Six Jurisdictional Wetland areas are present (Table 2; Figure 3) on-site.

Three wetlands (WA, WB, and WF) extend offsite; however, the areas given in Table 2 represent
only the extent of these features within the easement limits. Offsite extents of these features were
not delineated or accounted for in this report. The Understory vegetation within the wetland areas
was made up of Japanese Honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), green brier (Smilax laurifolia),
muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), giant cane (Arundinaria

vegetation consisted of Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), Sawtooth blackberry (Rubus
argutus), American holly (Ilex opaca). The overstory vegetation consisted of red maple (Acer
rubrum), sweetgum, tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), and laurel oak (Quercus laurifolia).
A jurisdictional determination request was sent to the United States Army Corps of Engineers on
June 12, 2017. Delineated wetlands have been field verified by Samantha Dailey of the Corps of
Engineers during a site visit on July 18, 2017.
2.5 Threatened and Endangered Species
Plants and animals with a federal classification of endangered or threatened are protected under
provisions of Sections 7 and 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. The US Fish
and Wildlife Service (USFWS) database (updated 26 March 2018) lists one endangered species
for Alamance County, North Carolina. The Cape Fear shiner (Notropis mekistocholas) is
currently listed as endangered but the "Range by Basin" shows the species' range in the very
southern portion of Alamance County more than 10 miles away from the Project. The Bald eagle
(Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGPA)
and prohibits take of bald and golden eagles. No protected species or potential habitat for
protected species was observed during preliminary site evaluations. A summary of federally -
protected species in Alamance County is included in Table 3.

In addition to the USFWS database, the NC Natural Heritage Program (NHP) GIS database was
consulted to determine whether previously cataloged occurrences of protected species were
mapped within one mile of the project. Results from NHP indicate that there are no known
occurrences of state threatened or endangered species within a one -mile radius of the project area.
Based on initial investigations, no impacts to state protected species are anticipated as a result of
the proposed project.
The proposed project offers some potential to improve and create habitat for wild species. Habitat
may be improved or created for species that require riverine habitat by improving water quality,
in -stream and near -stream forage, and providing stable conditions not subject to regular
maintenance. The project will also create upland and wetland forested habitat for terrestrial
species. The decision phase of the project will include USFWS coordination to confirm these
findings. The USFWS agreed with the findings that minimal adverse impacts to fish and wildlife
resources is expected from this Project. Documentation of this finding is found in Appendix B.
Cloud and Banner Bank Parcel Development Plan 6 May 2019

2.6 Environmental and Cultural Constraints
Environmental and cultural resources include historic and archeological resources located in or
near the project parcel. RES completed a preliminary survey of cultural resources to determine
potential project impacts. A review of the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office
(SHPO) GIS Web Service database revealed no historic sites within a half mile of the proposed
project area. In a letter dated August 12, 2016 the SHPO stated that they had "conducted a review
of the project and are aware of no historic resources which would be affected by the project."
Correspondence is provided in Appendix B.
2.7 Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Floodplain/Floodway Mapping
Inspection of the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map indicates that a majority of Back Creek and
associated floodplains are located within a Zone AE flood area, with significant portions of the
project located within the FEMA floodway. Back Creek is named East Back Creek in the FEMA
Flood Insurance Study. It is a FEMA Limited Detailed Studied Stream and is subject to all
applicable floodplain development permitting requirements (Figure 10). A hydrologic analysis
will be completed on the existing and proposed conditions of this reach. A No -Rise condition and
permit are the anticipated results of this analysis.
3 RIPARIAN RESTORATION AND PRESERVATION PLAN
The goal of the Project is to restore ecological function to the existing stream and riparian buffer
by establishing appropriate stream buffer plant communities where absent and enhancing buffers
where minimal vegetation exists, as well as to protect these buffers and stream function into
perpetuity. The buffered channels will provide water quality and habitat functions within the Haw
River Subwatershed of Jordan Lake, such as nutrient and sediment removal, filtration of runoff
from nearby agricultural fields, and improved aquatic and terrestrial habitat. The current land uses
adjacent to the streams purposed for buffer restoration and preservation are primarily composed
of active agricultural hay production and forested cover.
Riparian restoration and preservation proposed under this BPDP are shown in Figure 4, and were
approved by the DWR in their letter dated August 17, 2016 attached in Appendix B. All riparian
restoration and preservation buffer mitigation activities along channels will occur within two
dedicated zones from the edge of the bank: the zero to 50 foot -wide zone of buffer perpendicular
from the top of bank; and the 151 to 200 foot -wide zone of buffer perpendicular from the top of
the bank. The zone 51 to 150 feet from the top of bank will be claimed for additional stream credit
in the Cloud and Banner Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank. The Cloud and Banner Stream
and Wetland Mitigation Bank will also restore wetlands and generate wetland credits on-site;
therefore, any area where wetlands are proposed will also be excluded from the dedicated Riparian
Buffer and/or Nutrient credit generation zones. There will be no overlap in the Riparian Buffer
and/or Nutrient bank credit areas, wetland credit areas, and buffer areas dedicated for additional
stream credit generation (Figure 6).
Cloud and Banner Bank Parcel Development Plan 7 May 2019

Before beginning construction, RES will ensure that permitting scenarios are completed. RES
obtained Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 404 permit approval in April 2019, and has submitted
or will submit applications for a CWA Section 401, a North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality Erosion and Sediment Control permit, and a FEMA no -rise condition and
permit.
3.1 Parcel Preparation
Preparation within the Parcel will involve treatment for exotic invasive species, contoured
ripping, and seeding and planting. Stabilization and implementation of dispersal techniques will
be utilized where surface flows have become concentrated to minimize the chances of non -diffuse
flow. A combination of silt fencing, erosion control wattles, temporary seeding, and erosion
control matting will be used to reduce erosion and stabilize soil in riparian areas during any land
disturbance activities. These erosion control measures shall be inspected and properly maintained
at the end of each working day to ensure measures are functioning properly until permanent
vegetation is established. Disturbed areas shall be temporarily seeded within ten working days
and upon completion of final grading, permanent vegetation shall be established for all disturbed
areas. Any topsoil that is removed during construction will be stockpiled and reserved for final
site soil preparation. After construction activities, the subsoil will be scarified and any compaction
will be deep tilled before the topsoil is placed back over the site. This process should provide
favorable soil conditions for plant growth. Temporary and permanent riparian seeding shall be
done in accordance with the erosion control plan. Bare root plantings and live stakes shall be
planted according to the planting plan.
All riparian restoration and preservation activities will commence in concurrence with the stream
and wetland mitigation activities and not before. Therefore, the mitigation area where riparian
restoration is being performed may be altered slightly depending on the approval of the Stream
and Wetland Mitigation Plan for the Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank. The riparian
restoration areas will be surveyed, and information will be provided in the As -Built report.
3.2 Riparian Restoration Activities
Buffer restoration is proposed along Back Creek, UT2, UT4, and UT5 in accordance with the
Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B.0295(n) (Figure 4). Stream Restoration
will address existing impairments including floodplain dislocation, bank erosion, nutrient input,
and buffer degradation. The stream design approach will include meandering the proposed
channels within the natural valley. Within the easement, riparian restoration areas will be planted
from top of bank back at least 50 feet, to a maximum of 200 feet from the stream with bare root
tree seedlings on an 8 by 8 -foot spacing to achieve an initial density of 680 trees per acre. As
previously described, zones dedicated to wetland restoration and additional stream credit
generation will not generate any Riparian Buffer or Nutrient Offset credit.
Cloud and Banner Bank Parcel Development Plan 8 May 2019

3.3 Riparian Preservation Activities
Buffer preservation is proposed along Back Creek, UT2, UT4, UTS, and UT6 in accordance with
the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B.0295(o)(5) (Figure 4). Documentation
of the site meeting the requirements of 15A NCAC 02R .0403(c)(7)(8) and (11) is provided in
Appendix C. Preservation activities will consist of permanently protecting the buffer from
cutting, clearing, filling, grading, and similar activities that would affect the functioning of the
buffer. No more than 25 percent of the total area of buffer mitigation will be used for preservation
credit pursuant to 15A NCAC 0295(0)(5) and 15A NCAC 0295(0)(4) and the rest of the area will
be protected in the conservation easement and not applied for credit. Furthermore, buffer
preservation can only generate Riparian Buffer mitigation credit and is not transferrable to
nutrient offset credits.
3.4 Planting Plan
Revegetation of the site where riparian restoration is being performed will meet the performance
standards outlined in the Rule 15A NCAC 02B.0295. This includes treating invasive species
growth and planting at least 4 native hardwood bare root trees planted at a density to ensure a
density of 260 stems per acres at the completion of monitoring. No one tree species will be greater
than 50% of the established stems. Vegetation within riparian buffers can vary depending on
disturbance regime and adjacent community types, so the protected buffer easement will be
planted with appropriate native species observed in the surrounding forest and species known to
occur in similar environments. Piedmont Bottomland/Swamp Forest will be the target community
type for the wetland restoration and enhancement areas onsite, and Piedmont Alluvial Forest and
will be the target for stream riparian areas onsite (Schafale, 2012). The initial planting of bare
root trees will occur between November 2019 and March 2020, or during stream restoration work,
whichever comes last. Tree species specified for planting on the Cloud and Banner Project are
shown in Table 4.

3.5 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 fence, marker, bollard, post, tree -
blazing, or other means as allowed by site conditions and/or conservation easement. Boundaries
will be marked with signs identifying the property as a mitigation site that will include the name
of the long-term steward and a contact number. Boundary markers disturbed, damaged, or
destroyed will be repaired and/or replaced on an as needed basis. The easement boundary will be
checked annually as part of monitoring activities and the conditions as well as any maintenance
performed will be reported in the annual monitoring reports to DWR.
4 MONITORING AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
4.1 Monitoring Protocol and Success Criteria
Riparian buffer vegetation monitoring will be based on the CVS-EEP Protocol for Recording
Vegetation Level 1-2 Plot Sampling Only Version 4.2. Annual vegetation monitoring will occur
each year for a minimum of five (5) years and will be conducted during the fall season with the
first year occurring at least 5 months from initial planting. As part of the stream and wetland
mitigation plan, 19 monitoring plots will be installed a minimum of 100 m2 in size in the planted
area (23.17 ac) and will cover at least two percent of the planted mitigation area for the Stream
and Wetland Mitigation Bank. At least six fixed plots will be located inside the Riparian Buffer
crediting areas, and at least six fixed plots will be placed within areas where RES is seeking
additional stream credit for wider buffers. Four plots will be randomly placed each year
throughout the planted riparian buffer mitigation and nutrient offset areas (Figure 11). The
following data will be recorded for all planted and volunteer trees in the plots: species, height,
planting date (or volunteer), and grid location. All stems in plots will be flagged with flagging
tape. Photographs will be taken at established monitoring stations each monitoring year. Visual
inspection reports and photographs will be provided in the annual reports to ensure that
enhancement areas are being maintained and compliant. The measures of vegetative success for
the Parcel will be the survival of at least four native hardwood tree species, where no one species
is greater than 50% of the established stems, established at a density of at least 260 planted trees
per acre at the end of Year 5. Desirable native volunteer species may be included to meet the
performance standards as determined by DWR. Invasive and noxious species will be monitored
and treated so that none become dominant or alter the desired community structure of the site.
RES will monitor the stream and wetland mitigation bank for a minimum of seven years, or until
release by IRT approval. Therefore, plots placed within riparian restoration areas that are outside
Cloud and Banner Bank Parcel Development Plan 10 May 2019

of the mitigation area for buffer credits will be monitored in accordance with the monitoring
protocol in the Cloud and Banner Stream and Wetland Mitigation Plan.
4.2 Adaptive Management Plan and Parcel Maintenance
Adaptive measures will be developed, or appropriate remedial actions taken if in the event that
the site, or a specific component of the site, fails to achieve the defined success criteria. Remedial
actions will be designed to achieve the success criteria specified in this BPDP, and will include
identification of the causes of failure, remedial design approach, work schedule, and monitoring
criteria that will take into account physical and climatic conditions.
Initial plant maintenance may include a one-time mowing, prior to initial planting to remove
undesirable species. If mowing is deemed necessary by RES during the monitoring period, RES
must receive approval by the DWR prior to any mowing activities to ensure that no buffer
violations have been performed. Failure to receive approval to mow within the Jordan Lake
buffer, as defined in 15A NCAC 02B.0267, by the DWR could result in Jordan Lake buffer
violations and violations of the conservation easement. If necessary, RES will develop a species-
specific control plan.
4.3 Long Term Management Plan
EBX, LLC acting as the Bank Sponsor, will record a Conservation Easement with the Alamance
County Register of Deeds' Office for this site. The Conservation Easement will be assigned to
Unique Places to Save (UP2S). All monitoring activities, including periodic inspections of the
site to ensure that restrictions required in the Conservation Easement are upheld, are the
responsibility of EBX, LLC until the Bank Parcel is transferred to UP2S. Endowment funds
required to uphold the Cloud and Banner Bank Parcel conservation easement in perpetuity shall
be negotiated prior to site transfer to the UP2S.
The Bank Sponsor will ensure that the Conservation Easement has allowed for the
implementation of an initial monitoring phase, which will be developed during the design phase
and conducted by the Bank Sponsor. The Conservation Easement will allow for yearly monitoring
and, if necessary, maintenance of the Parcel during the initial monitoring phase. These activities
will be conducted in accordance with the terms and conditions of the RES Cloud and Banner
Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset MBI made and entered into by EBX, LLC and DWR.
5 FINANCIAL ASSURANCE
The Sponsor will provide financial assurances in the form of Performance Bonds sufficient to
assure one -hundred percent (100%) completion of all mitigation work, required reporting and
monitoring, and any remedial work required. Financial assurances will be payable at the direction
of the DWR to its designee or to a standby trust. Financial assurances structured to provide funds
to the DWR in the event of default by the Bank Sponsor are not acceptable. The initial
performance bond will be in the amount of at least $150,000 and shall be able to cover 100% of
Cloud and Banner Bank Parcel Development Plan 11 May 2019

the costs associated with construction of the riparian restoration areas. The monitoring bond shall
be in the amount of at least $100,000 and shall be able to cover 100% of the costs associated with
the monitoring and maintenance of the riparian restoration areas for five years.
Performance bonds for monitoring shall be renewed to cover each year's 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 NUTIGATION POTENTIAL
The Project presents 59.76 acres of permanent conservation easement in Alamance County, North
Carolina. While this easement also encompasses areas for the Cloud and Banner Stream and
Wetland Mitigation Bank, the purpose of the Project is to generate Haw River Subwatershed of
Jordan Lake Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset credits. A conservation easement and final
recorded plat are provided in Appendix D.
There are two dedicated Riparian Buffer and Nutrient credit generation zones within the overall
buffer area: the first will begin at the most landward limit of the top of bank or the rooted
herbaceous vegetation and extend landward to a distance of 50 feet. The second zone begins at
151 feet and extends landward to 200 feet from the top of bank. The zone (51 to 150 feet from
top of bank) between the first and second Riparian Buffer and/or Nutrient Credit generating zones
is dedicated to stream credit generation. There are also wetland restoration areas proposed within
the easement that will be excluded from the dedicated Riparian Buffer and/or Nutrient bank credit
areas. There will be no overlap in the Riparian Buffer and/or Nutrient bank credit areas, wetland
credit areas, and buffer areas dedicated for additional stream credit generation (Figure 6).
This Bank has the potential to generate approximately 3.72 acres (161,956 ft2) of riparian buffer
restoration credits on existing non -forested hayfields, and 0.15 acre (6,534 ft2) of buffer
preservation credits. There will be 0.17 acres of nutrient offset that are viable for buffer restoration
credits in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B.0240. The riparian buffer mitigation credits generated
will service Jordan Lake buffer impacts within the Haw River Subwatershed of Jordan Lake. The
nutrient offsets generated will service nutrient load reduction requirements where payments are
authorized in 15A NCAC 02B.0240 within the Haw River Subwatershed. The Sponsor will
maintain four credit ledgers. One ledger will account for Riparian Buffer Restoration credits, one
ledger will account for buffer Preservation credits, one ledger will account for Nitrogen nutrient
offset credits, and one will account for Phosphorus nutrient offset credits. All mitigation credit
assets shall be shown on these credit ledgers. The total potential mitigation credits that the Cloud
and Banner Bank will generate are summarized in Tables 5 and 6; Figure 4.

*The data presented in this table represent the credit potential of the proposed nutrient credits, were they to be
converted to riparian buffer credits.
The Sponsor may use the credits generated on the non -forested hayfields for Jordan Lake Riparian
Buffer Mitigation or Nutrient Offsets, but not both. All applicable ratios must be accounted for
when converting from nutrient offset to buffer. 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 offset credit ledgers. With each conversion and transfer request submitted to the
DWR, the Sponsor will provide all updated credit ledgers showing all transactions that have
occurred up to the date of the request.

Subject Property: Cloud and Banner Mitigation Site, Alamance County
On -Site Determination for Applicability to the Jordan Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0267)
Dear Mr. Ingram:
On June 21, 2016, at your request and in your attendance, Sue Homewood conducted an on-site
determination to review features located on the subject project for stream determinations with
regards to the above noted state regulations. Katie Merritt with the Division of Water
Resources was also present during the site visit.
During the site visit on June 21, 2016, 1 determined that the features labeled UT1 and UT3 were
ephemeral channels. Features UT2, UT4 below the crossing/culvert, and UT6 were determined
to be intermittent channels. Back Creek was determined to be a perennial stream, and UT5 was
determined to be at least an intermittent stream. UT4 above the crossing/culvert was
determined to be a modified natural channel along the edge of the wetland starting at a point
identified and documented during the site visit.
Please note that at the time of this letter, all intermittent and perennial stream channels found
on the property are subject to the rules cited above. These regulations are subject to change in
the future.
The owner (or future owners) should notify the Division (and other relevant agencies) of this
decision in any future correspondences concerning this property. This on-site determination
shall expire five (5) years from the date of this letter.

Landowners or affected parties that dispute a determination made by the Division or Delegated
Local Authority that a surface water exists and that it is subject to the buffer rule may request a
determination by the Director. A request for a determination by the Director shall be referred to
the Director in writing c/o Wetlands and Buffers Permitting and Compliance Unit, 1650 Mail
Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1650. Individuals that dispute a determination by the Division
or Delegated Local Authority that "exempts" surface water from the buffer rule may ask for an
adjudicatory hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter.
Applicants are hereby notified that the 60 -day statutory appeal time does not start until the
affected party (including downstream and adjacent landowners) is notified of this decision. The
Division recommends that the applicant conduct this notification in order to be certain that third
party appeals are made in a timely manner. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition, which
conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative
Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This determination is final and
binding unless you ask for a hearing within 60 days.
This letter only addresses the applicability to the buffer rules and does not approve any activity
within Waters of the United States or Waters of the State or their associated buffers. If you have
any additional questions or require additional information, please contact me at 336-776-9693
or [e-mail].

Re: Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset — Cloud & Banner Site
Off NC Hwy 119 near 4962 Mrs. White Ln., Mebane, NC (adjacent to Back Creek)
Alamance County
Dear Mr. Ingram,
On May 2, 2016, Katie Merritt, with the Division of Water Resources (DWR), received a request
from Resource Environmental Solutions, LLC (RES), for a site visit near the above -referenced site in
the Haw River Ann of the Jordan Lake Watershed to determine the potential for riparian buffer
mitigation and nutrient offset. On .lune 21, 2016, Ms. Merritt performed a site assessment of the
subject site, which is more accurately shown in the attached aerial initiated by Ms. Merritt on August
17, 2016. If approved, mitigating this site could provide riparian buffer and nutrient offset credits to
mitigate impacts in the Haw River Sub -watershed of Jordan Lake.
Ms. Merritt's evaluation of the features from Top of Bank {TOB) out to 200' for buffer mitigation
pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (effective November 1, 2015) and 15A NCAC 02B .0240 is

more than 25% of the total area of buffer mitigation. Therefore, while Preservation may be an option along the streams, it
may not meet the rule requirements to be utilized for credits throughout.
A map showing the project site and the features is provided and signed by Ms. Merritt on August 17,
2016. This letter should be provided in all future mitigation plans for this Site. In addition, all
vegetative plantings, performance criteria and other mitigation requirements for riparian restoration
and preservation must follow the requirements in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 to be eligible for buffer
mitigation credits.

Re: RES Cape Fear UMB Diaryland Mitigation Site SAW -2016-01258
and Cloud and Banner SAW -2016-0245I/ Orange and Alamance Counties
Dear Mrs. Hughes:
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has reviewed the information concerning the above
referenced project. The project, based on the description in your letter to our office, and other
information, is expected to have minimal adverse impacts to fish and wildlife resources.
In accordance with the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended, (ESA) and based on the
information provided, and other available information, it appears the action is not likely to
adversely affect federally listed species or their critical habitat as defined by the ESA. We
believe that the requirements of section 7 (a)(2) of the ESA have been satisfied for this project.
Please remember that obligations under the ESA must be reconsidered if: (1) new information
identifies impacts of this action that may affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not
previously considered; (2) this action is modified in a manner that was not considered in this
review; or, (3) a new species is listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected by the
identified action.
For your convenience a list of all federally protected endangered and threatened species in North
Carolina is now available on our website at http://www.fws.gov/raleigh. Our web page contains
a complete and frequently updated list of all endangered and threatened species protected by the
provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)(Act),
and a list of federal species of concern' that are known to occur in each county in North Carolina.
1 The term "federal species of concern" refers to those species which the Service believes might be in need of
concentrated conservation actions. Federal species of concern receive no legal protection and their designation does
not necessarily imply that the species will eventually be proposed for listing as a federally endangered or threatened
species. However, we recommend that all practicable measures be taken to avoid or minimize adverse impacts to
federal species of concern.

by appropriate legal proceedings including damages, injunctive and other relief.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee reserves the immediate right, without

damage to property or harm to the Conservation Easement Area resulting from such
causes.
