AS -BUILT & BASELINE MONITORING REPORT
South Fork Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel
Wildlands Holdings IV, LLC's Cane Creek Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank
The South Fork Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel ("Parcel") is a part of the Wildlands
Holdings IV, LLC (Sponsor) Cane Creek Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank (Bank). The
Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI) for the Bank and the Bank Parcel Development Plan (BPDP) were
approved on July 18, 2018. The project was planned, designed, and constructed encompassing land
along tributaries to South Fork Cane Creek in Chatham County, NC (Figure 1). The Parcel was designed in
concurrence with the Cane Creek Stream Mitigation Bank (SAW# 2016-00219), the South Fork Stream
Mitigation As -Built Baseline Report was approved on March 8th, 2019. The purpose of the Parcel is to
provide riparian buffer and nutrient offset mitigation credits to compensate for buffer impacts and
development requiring nutrient offset payments according to the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule
15A NCAC 02B .0295 (effective November 1, 2015) and development requiring nutrient offset payments
according to 15A NCAC 0213 .0240 within the Haw River Sub -watershed of the Jordan Lake Watershed.
The service area is depicted in Figure 2. The mitigation credits generated from this site are listed in
Tables 1a and 1b and shown in Figure 3.
1.0 Introduction
This Parcel was developed to provide stream mitigation through the creation of a Stream Bank Site as
well as nutrient offset and buffer mitigation through the creation of a Buffer & Nutrient Offset Bank.
Riparian restoration activities deemed suitable for nutrient offsets on this Parcel, will generate 2,249.36
lbs. -Nitrogen per acre and 143.81 lbs. -Phosphorus per acre (with a delivery factor of 71% and 67%
respectively).
The construction of the Stream Bank site was completed in July 2018. No major adjustments were made
during construction that would drastically affect the Buffer and Nutrient Offset Bank. UT4 Reach 2
channel was realigned for approximately three linear feet due to the presence of bedrock, this did not
result in changes to the Buffer and Nutrient offset credits. Buffer and Nutrient Offset credits were
adjusted to reflect the presence of vernal pools that were added during construction, these pools were
constructed to promote stability and slow overland flow.
For purposes of the South Fork Buffer and Nutrient Offset Bank, the Parcel involved restoring riparian
buffers and other riparian areas adjacent to mitigated streams onsite in order to help reduce non -point
source contaminant discharges to downstream waters in the Jordan Lake Watershed within the Cape
Fear River Basin. Approximately 18.13 acres is protected with a permanent conservation easement. Out
of the 18.13 acres, 14.83 acres has been restored for either Jordan Lake riparian buffer credit or nutrient
offset credit. In general, riparian buffer restoration area widths on streams range from 50 feet to 100
feet from the top of bank for Jordan Lake buffer credits and nutrient offset credit.
The NC Division of Water Resources (DWR) performed an onsite Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation and
Nutrient Offset on August 9, 2017. The correspondence related to the site visit is attached in Appendix C
and dated August 15 and 16, 2017.
2.0 Parcel Location & Background
2.1 Location and Setting
The Parcel is located in Chatham County near the Town of Snow Camp, NC (35° 49' 21.28" N and 79° 22'
54.62" W). From Raleigh, take US -64 West to the exit for NC -87 North. Continue north on NC -87 for 1.8
miles and turn left onto Silk Hope Gum Spring Road. Continue on Silk Hope Gum Spring Road for 8.1

miles. Turn right onto Silk Hope -Lindley Mill Road and continue for 2.9 miles. Turn left onto Moon
Lindley Road and continue for 1.3 miles. Turn left onto Johnny Lindley Road and continue for 0.7 miles
to 1727 Johnny Lindley Road, Snow Camp, NC (Figure 1).
2. 2 Parcel Background
Prior to construction, the Parcel consisted primarily of livestock pasture except for a few areas. The
cattle pastures on the site are dominated by fescue grasses (Festuca spp.) and broomsedge (Andropogon
virginicus). Much of the riparian areas on the site are wooded; however, cattle have access to the
streams. Vegetation in the wooded areas is primarily hardwood species including white oak (Quercus
alba), red oak (Quercus rubra), willow oak (Quercus phellos), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera),
sweetgum (Liquidambarstyraciflua), red maple (Acerrubrum), southern red oak (Quercus falcato), and
American elm (Ulmus americana).
2.3 Parcel Objectives
The main objective of the Parcel is to reduce nitrogen and phosphorus loading to the Cape Fear
tributaries by establishing a forested riparian buffer on land previously used for agricultural purposes.
The riparian buffer will immobilize nutrients, reducing quantities available to downstream aquatic
ecosystems in the Cape Fear River Basin.
3.0 Restoration Activities
Developing the Parcel for mitigation required altering current land use practices. The majority of the
Parcel had been maintained for livestock grazing. The Parcel was planted with appropriate native tree
species by hand Deember 2018.
The revegetation plan for the entire buffer restoration area included permanent seeding, planting bare
root trees, live stakes, and controlling invasive species growth. The specific species composition that was
planted was selected based on the community type, observation of occurrence of species in riparian
buffers adjacent to the site, and best professional judgement on species establishment and anticipated
site conditions in the early years following project implementation. Trees were planted at a density
sufficient to meet the performance standards outlined in the Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 of 260 trees per
acre at the end of five years. An appropriate seed mix was also applied to provide ground cover for soil
stabilization and reduction of sediment loss, as necessary.
While planting isn't anticipated to be needed in the cattle exclusion areas, except where required in the
stream mitigation plan, a seed mix was applied where cattle have removed all vegetation and caused
bare soils. The cattle exclusion areas within the easement were fenced in to prevent further
encroachment by cattle using Three -Strand High Tensile Wire Fence. No planting was performed in the
buffer preservation areas except in areas affected during construction.
4.0 Mitigation Potential and Deviations from the Bank Parcel Development Package (BPDP)
18.13 acres were protected with a permanent conservation easement. Out of the 18.13 acres, a total of
14.83 acres of riparian areas were mitigated to generate Jordan Lake riparian buffer credit or nutrient
offset credit. Out of those 14.83 acres, 5.40 acres were restored, 8.52 acres were enhanced by
permanently excluding livestock and stabilizing soils, 0.47 acres have been enhanced through
supplemental plantings, and 0.44 acres has been preserved (Figure 3). Of the 5.40 acres that are
restored, 4.92 acres were deemed suitable for either buffer credit or nutrient offset credit. These areas
may be used for either Jordan Lake buffer credits or nutrient offset credits, but not both. The remaining
0.48 acres of buffer restoration did not meet the minimum 50 foot width to qualify for nutrient offset
W South Fork Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel Page 3
As -Built & Baseline Monitoring Report — May 2019

credits. Out of the 5.40 acres that are restored, the Sponsor is requesting all 4.92 qualifying acres to be
used to generate credit releases for nutrient offset credits with the option to convert to riparian buffer
credits upon DWR written approval. Neither riparian buffer nor nutrient offset credit will be generated
on the remaining 3.30 acres.
In general, where riparian restoration activities were performed to generate Jordan Lake buffer
mitigation, widths will extend a maximum of 100 feet and where riparian restoration activities were
performed for nutrient offsets, widths will extend a maximum of 200 feet from the top of the channel.
Since approval of the BPDP, credits have shifted due to three minor changes. The final stream survey
contains a slightly larger area than what was produced initially in GIS. The cattle exclusion and buffer
restoration boundaries were adjusted based on surveyed tree lines. Some buffer restoration zone areas
did not meet the minimum 50' width and do not qualify for nutrient offset. These changes resulted in a
difference of 0.36 acres.
5.0 Monitoring Protocol & Success Criteria
Five 10 -meter by 10 -meter vegetation monitoring plots (plots numbered 3-7) were installed within the
buffer restoration area to measure the survival of the planted trees (Figure 4). The number of plots
required was determined in accordance with the Carolina Vegetative Sampling Protocol (CVS) Levels 1 &
2. Vegetation assessment was conducted in January 2019 following the CVS Levels 1 & 2 Protocol for
Recording Vegetation, Version 4.0 (Lee et al. 2006). Performance Standards for the Project are based on
the health and survival of a minimum density of 260 trees per acre after five years of monitoring, and no
one species comprises more than 50 percent of stems. Height, visual assessment of damage, and vigor
will be used as indicators of overall health. Desirable volunteer Species may be included to meet the
success criteria upon DWR approval. The as -built baseline data shows a planted tree density of 607
stems per acre (Table 7). A reference photo will be taken from the southwestern corner of each
vegetation plot and included in the annual monitoring report. All planted stems in the vegetation plots
have been marked with flagging tape and recorded.
Annual monitoring activities will begin in the fall of 2019 and will commence in September or October
for the remainder of the monitoring period. Species composition, density, and survival rates will be
evaluated on an annual basis by plot for the entire site. Wildlands shall submit to NCDWR an annual
monitoring report, no later than December 31" of each year for five consecutive years.
6.0 Financial Assurance & Long -Term Management
6.1 Financial Assurance
A Performance Bond in the amount of $100,000 has been secured for 100% of the estimated cost to
implement the monitoring and maintenance plan. The Performance Bond applies from the approval of
the as -built report until the end of monitoring year 1 and will be extended annually for a minimum of
five years. Upon NCDWR approval, this may be lowered each year based on the adjusted cost to
complete the monitoring. A copy of the monitoring bond is provided in Appendix E.
6.2 Parcel Maintenance
The parcel has been properly and accurately marked by adding witness posts with easement placards
every 100 ft and at every corner of the easement. Fencing locations were agreed upon with the
landowner and displayed accurately in Figures 3 and 4.
Adaptive measures will be developed or appropriate remedial actions will be implemented in the event
that the Parcel or a specific component of the Parcel fails to achieve the success criteria. Site
maintenance will be performed to correct any identified problems that have a high likelihood of
W South Fork Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel Page 4
As -Built & Baseline Monitoring Report — May 2019

affecting project success. Such items include but are not limited to excess tree mortality caused by fire,
flooding, drought, or insects. Any actions implemented will be designed to achieve the success criteria
and will include a work schedule and updated monitoring criteria.

Re: Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset — South Fork Mitigation Site
Near 1402 Johnny Lindley Road, Pittsboro, NC
Chatham County
Dear Ms. Eckardt,
On May 25, 2017, Katie Merritt, with the Division of Water Resources (DWR), received a request
from Wildlands Engineering Inc. (WEI) for a site visit near the above -referenced site in the Haw
River Subwatershed of Jordan Lake. The site visit was to determine the potential for riparian buffer
mitigation and nutrient offset. On August 9, 2017, Ms. Merritt performed a site assessment of the
subject site, which is more accurately shown in the attached map labeled "South Fork Site Map".
This site is also being proposed as a stream restoration site by WEI.
Ms. Merritt's evaluation of the features and their associated mitigation determination for the riparian
areas are provided in the table below. The evaluation was made from Top of Bank (TOB) out to
200' from each existing feature for buffer mitigation pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (effective
November 1, 2015) and for nutrient offset credits pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0240.

All vegetative plantings, performance criteria and other mitigation requirements for riparian
restoration, enhancement and preservation must follow the requirements in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 to
be eligible for buffer and/or nutrient offset mitigation credits. For any areas depicted as not being
viable for nutrient offset credit above, one could propose a different measure, along with supporting
calculations and sufficient detail to support estimates of load reduction, for review by the DWR to
determine viability for nutrient offset in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0240.
This viability assessment will expire on August 16, 2019 or upon the submittal of an As -Built
Report to the DWR, whichever comes first. Please contact Katie Merritt at (919)-807-6371 if you
have any questions regarding this correspondence.

purposes of this Conservation Easement. The Grantee, Wildlands, and its authorized
representatives, successors and assigns, the Corps and NCDWR shall also have the right
to enter and go upon the Conservation Mitigation Easement Area for purposes of making

ARTICLE V
ENFORCEMENT AND REMEDIES
A. To accomplish the purposes of this Easement, Grantee, the Corps, and
NCDWR are allowed to prevent any activity on or use of the Conservation Mitigation
Easement Area that is inconsistent with the purposes of this Easement and to require
the restoration of such areas or features of the Conservation Mitigation Easement Area
thatmay be damaged by such activity or use. Upon any breach of the terms of this

Grantee shall notify the Grantor in writing of such breach. The Grantor shall have 30
days after receipt of such notice to correct the conditions constituting such breach. If
the breach remains uncured after 30 days, the Grantee may enforce this Conservation
Easement by appropriate legal proceedings including damages, injunctive and other
relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee reserves the immediate right,
without notice, to obtain a temporary restraining order, injunctive or other appropriate
relief if the breach of the terms of this Conservation Easement is or would irreversibly
or otherwise materially impair the benefits to be derived from this Conservation
Easement. The Grantor and Grantee acknowledge that under such circumstances
damage to the Grantee would be irreparable and remedies at law will be inadequate.
The rights and remedies of the Grantee provided hereunder shall be in addition to, and
not in lieu of, all other rights and remedies available to Grantee in connection with this
Conservation Easement. The costs of a breach, correction or restoration, including the
Grantee's expenses, court costs, and attorneys' fees, shall be paid by Grantor, provided

have the same rights and privileges as the said Grantee to enforce the terms and
conditions of this Conservation easement.
B. No failure on the part of the Grantee to enforce any covenant or provision
hereof shall discharge or invalidate such covenant or any other covenant, condition,
or provision hereof or affect the right to Grantee to enforce the same in the event of
a subsequent breach or default.
C. Nothing contained in this Conservation Easement shall be construed to
entitle Grantee to bring any action against Grantor for any injury or change in the
Conservation Mitigation Easement Area resulting from causes beyond the Grantor's
control, including, without limitation, fire, flood, storm, war, acts of God or third parties,
except Grantor's lessees or invitees; or from any prudent action taken in good faith by
Grantor under emergency conditions to prevent, abate, or mitigate significant injury to
life, damage to property or harm to the Conservation Mitigation Easement Area resulting
from such causes.
ARTICLE VI
MISCELLANEOUS
A. Warranty. Grantor warrants, covenants and represents that it owns the
Property in fee simple, and that Grantor either owns all interests in the Property which
may be impaired by the granting of this Conservation Easement or that there are no
outstanding mortgages, tax liens, encumbrances, or other interests in the Property
which have not been expressly subordinated to this Conservation Easement. Grantor
further warrants that Grantee shall have the use of and enjoy all the benefits derived
from and arising out of this Conservation Easement, and that Grantor will warrant and
defend title to the Property against the claims of all persons._
B. Subsequent Transfers. The Grantor agrees to incorporate the terms of this
Conservation Easement in any deed or other legal instrument that transfers any interest
in all or a portion of the Conservation Mitigation Easement Area. The Grantor agrees to
provide written notice of such transfer at least sixty (60) days prior to the date of the

shall survive any merger of the fee and easement interests in the Conservation
Mitigation Easement Area or any portion thereof and shall not be amended, modified or
terminated without the prior written consent and approval of the Corps.
C. Assignment. The parties recognize and agree that the benefits of this
Conservation Easement are in gross and assignable provided, however that the Grantee
hereby covenants and agrees, that in the event it transfers or assigns this Conservation
Easement, the organization receiving the interest will be a qualified holder pursuant to
33 CFR 332.7 (a)(1), under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 121-34 et seq. and § 501 (c)(3) and § 170 (h) of

required to continue in perpetuity the conservation purposes described in this

D. Entire Agreement and Severability. The combined Mitigation Banking
Instruments: MBI with corresponding Mitigation Plan, and MBI with corresponding
BPDP, and this Conservation Easement set forth the entire agreements of the parties

negotiations, understandings or agreements relating to the Conservation Easement. If
any provision is found to be void or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction,
the remainder shall continue in full force and effect.
E. Obligations of Ownership. Grantor is responsible for any real estate taxes,
assessments, fees, or charges levied upon the Property. Grantor shall keep the Property
free of any liens or other encumbrances for obligations incurred by Grantor except those
incurred after the date hereof which are expressly subject and subordinate to the
Conservation Easement. Grantee shall not be responsible for any costs or liability of any
kind related to the ownership, operation, insurance, upkeep, or maintenance of the

may apply to the exercise of the Reserved Rights.
F. Long -Term Management. If livestock operations will be maintained on the property,
Grantor is responsible for all long-term management activities associated with fencing to ensure

aquatic resource functions within the boundaries of the Protected Property are sustained.
G. Extinguishment. In the event that changed conditions render impossible the
continued use of the Conservation Mitigation Easement Area for the conservation
purposes, this Conservation Easement may only be extinguished, in whole or in part, by
judicial proceeding.
H. Eminent Domain. Whenever all or part of the Conservation Mitigation
Easement Area is taken in the exercise of eminent domain so as to substantially
abrogate the Restrictions imposed by this Conservation Easement, Grantor and Grantee
shall join in appropriate actions at the time of such taking to recover the full value of the
taking, and all incidental and direct damages due to the taking.
I. Proceeds. This Conservation Easement constitutes a real property interest
immediately vested in Grantee. In the event that all or a portion of the Conservation
Mitigation Easement Area is sold, exchanged, or involuntarily converted following an
extinguishment or the exercise of eminent domain, Grantee shall be entitled to the fair
market value of this Conservation Easement as determined at the time of the
extinguishment or condemnation.

Coordinates Latitude: 35.8325
Longitude: -79.3677
X There are waters, including wetlands, on the above described project area, that may be subject to Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RNA) (33 USC § 403). The
waters, including wetlands, have been delineated, and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently
accurate and reliable. Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction determination may be used in the permit evaluation process,
including determining compensatory mitigation. For purposes of computation of impacts, compensatory mitigation
requirements, and other resource protection measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat all
waters and wetlands that would be affected in any way by the permitted activity on the site as if they are jurisdictional
waters of the U.S. This preliminary determination is not an appealable action under the Regulatory Program
Administrative Appeal Process (Reference 33 CFR Part 331). However, you may request an approved JD, which is an
appealable action., by contacting the Corps district for further instruction.
There are wetlands on the above described property, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
(CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). However, since the
waters, including wetlands, have not been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdiction determination may not be
used in the permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation, this preliminary determination is merely an
effective presumption of CWA/RHA jurisdiction overall of the waters, including wetlands, at the project area, which is
not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision. We recommend that you have the
waters of the U.S. on your property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a
timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps.
B. Approved Determination
There are Navigable Waters of the United States within the above described property subject to the permit requirements of
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC
§ 1344). Unless there is a change in law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period
not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
There are waters of the U.S., including wetlands, on the above described project area subject to the permit requirements
of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) (33 USG § 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published
regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
We recommend you have the waters of the U.S. on your property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to
accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that
can be verified by the Corps.

_ The waters of the U.S., including wetlands, on your project area have been delineated and the delineation has been
verified by the Corps. If you wish to have the delineation surveyed, the Corps can review and verify the survey upon
completion. Once verified, this survey will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWA and/or RHA
jurisdiction on your property which, provided there is no change in the law or our published regulations, may be relied
upon for a period not to exceed five years.
_ The waters of the U.S., including wetlands, have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat
signed by the Corps Regulatory Official identified below on . Unless there is a change in the law or our
published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this
notification.
There are no waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, present on the above described project area which are subject to the
permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our
published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this
notification.
The property is located in one of the 20 Coastal Counties subject to regulation under the Coastal Area Management Act
(CAMA). You should contact the Division of Coastal Management in Morehead City, NC, at [phone] to
determine their requirements.
Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US, including wetlands, without a Department of the Army permit
may constitute a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC § 1311). Placement of dredged or fill material,
construction or placement of structures, or work within navigable waters of the United States without a Department of the
Army permit may constitute a violation of Sections 9 and/or 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33 USC § 401 and/or 403). If
you have any questions regarding this determination and/or the Corps regulatory program, please contact Andrew Williams at
[phone] or Andrew. E.Williams2(a,usace.army. mil.
C. Basis For Determination: See the attached Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Form for this Corps project,
SAW -2016-02364. Also, see the attached map, (Figure 3, Cane Creek Umbrella Mitigation Bank)
D. Remarks: None
E. Attention USDA Program Participants
This delineation/determination has been conducted to identify the limits of Corps' Clean Water Act jurisdiction for the
particular site identified in this request. The delineation/determination may not be valid for the wetland conservation
provisions of the Food Security Act of 1985. If you or your tenant are USDA Program participants, or anticipate participation
in USDA programs, you should request a certified wetland determination from the local office of the Natural Resources
Conservation Service, prior to starting work.
F. Appeals Information (This information applies only to approved jurisdictional determinations as indicated in
B. above)

Office (Desk) Determination. Date: 3 M4y �01�
Field Determination. Date(s): -D-$ Mflr 4
1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the
United States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party
who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to
request and obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site.
Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other person who requested this
preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an approved JD in
this instance and at this time.
2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or
a Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring
"pre -construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non -reporting
NWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an
approved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the
following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization
based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determination of
jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approved
JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and
that basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less
compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that
the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting
the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4)
that the applicant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply
with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation
requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5) that undertaking
any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting
an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the
preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is
practicable; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered
individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps
permit authorization based on a preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all
wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity
are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes any challenge to
such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement
action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether
the applicant elects to use either an approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD
will be processed as soon as is practicable. Further, an approved JD, a proffered
individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual
permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331,
and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33
C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary
to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or
2

to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will
provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable.
This preliminary JD finds that there "may be"waters of the United States on the
subject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be
affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:

Raleigh, North Carolina 27609
Dear Mr. Keaton:
This correspondence is in reference to the Cane Creek Umbrella Mitigation Site, South Fork
Mitigation Site, located within the South Fork Cane Creek watershed of the Cape Fear River
Catalog Unit (03030002). The site is located along Johnny Lindley Road, near Snow Camp, in
Chatham County, North Carolina. The purpose of this letter is to confirm the As -Built
Implementation credit release for this mitigation site.
Pursuant to the Mitigation Banking Instrument (UMBI) entitled, Agreement to Establish the
Cane Creek Umbrella Mitigation Bank in the Cape Fear River Basin within the state of North
Carolina, approved February 1, 2018; and the site-specific South Fork Mitigation Site Final
Mitigation Plan, dated October 2017; and the Baseline Monitoring Document and As -Built
Baseline Report — South Fork Site dated January 2019, 15 percent of the mitigation site's total
stream restoration and enhancement credits shall be available for sale immediately upon
completion of all of the following:
a. Successful completion of all stream restoration and enhancement activities (As -Built
Construction) as described in the Plan, dated October 2017;
b. Successful completion of all planting activities as described in the Plan, dated October
2017; and
c. Successful completion of easement fencing suitable for livestock exclusion as outlined
in the Plan, dated October 2017.
By copy of this correspondence, we confirm that you have satisfied the above requirements for
the As -Built Implementation credit release. As such, 647.7 stream mitigation units (SMUs),
constituting 15 percent of the mitigation bank site's total stream credits are now available for sale.

To date, 30 percent (1295.4 SMUs) of the total stream restoration and enhancement credits (4318
SMUs) have been released. Our records indicate that zero (0) SMUs associated with this
mitigation site have been debited as of March 8, 2019. Therefore, the current total amount of
credits available for sale is 1295.4 SMUs.

To The Above Named Person and Entity,
This office has reviewed the subject erosion and sedimentation control plan. We find the
plan to be acceptable and hereby issue this Letter of Approval. The enclosed Certificate of
Approval must be posted at the job site. This plan approval shall expire two (2) years
following the date of approval, if no land -disturbing activity has been undertaken.
Section 10 (1) of the Chatham County Sedimentation and Erosion Control Ordinance
requires that a copy of the approved erosion control plan be on file at the job site. Also, this
letter gives the notice required by G.S. 113A -61.1(a) of our right of periodic inspection to
insure compliance with the approved plan.
North Carolina's Sedimentation Pollution Control Act is performance -oriented, requiring
protection of existing natural resources and adjoining properties. If, following the
commencement of this project, the erosion and sedimentation control plan is inadequate to
meet the requirements of the Chatham County Sedimentation and Erosion Control
Ordinance, this office may require revisions to the plan and implementation of the revisions
to insure compliance with the Act.
Acceptance and approval of this plan is conditioned upon your compliance with Federal and State
water quality laws, regulations, and rules. In addition, local city or county ordinances or rules may
