As outlined in the 2017 RES Yadkin 01 UMBI Final Prospectus, the Compass Point Site is being developed concurrently with four other mitigation sites to establish the UMBI. The Mitigation Plan submittal includes a response memo addressing all IRT comments on the draft plan. The attached PCN package includes PCN Form, PCN supplemental information, supporting figures, and an updated aquatic resource inventory table and Waters of the US Map to accompany the previously -confirmed PJD. The PCN has also been submitted to NCDWR and USACE via the joint online submission tool. As specified in the mitigation plan, RES requests that the initial allocation of released credits, equivalent to 15 percent of the restoration/enhancement credits, be released by the IRT with written approval upon satisfactory completion of the following activities: a) Execution of the UMBI by the Sponsor and the USACE; b) Approval of the final mitigation plan; c) Mitigation site must be secured; d) Delivery of financial assurances; e) Recordation of the long-term protection mechanism and title opinion acceptable to the USACE; f) Issuance of the 404 -permit verification for construction of the site, if required. According to our accounting, this request represents 619.50 SMUs. Thank you for your prompt attention to this important project. Please contact me at 919-209-1066 or kcarreregres.us if you have any questions or require any additional information. Sincerely, RES, LLC Kasey Carrere Project Manager res. us REPLY TO ATTENTION OF: CESAW-RG/Browning DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY WILMINGTON DISTRICT, CORPS OF ENGINEERS 69 DARLINGTON AVENUE WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA 28403-1343 MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD May 1, 2019 SUBJECT: RES Yadkin 01 Compass Point Mitigation Site- Draft Mitigation Plan Review, Yadkin County, NC PURPOSE: The comments listed below were received from the NCIRT during the 30 -day comment period in accordance with Section 332.8(g) of the 2008 Mitigation Rule. USACE AID#: SAW -2017-01465 30 -Day Comment Deadline: November 21, 2018 Mac Haupt, NCDWR: 1. DWR noted all the stream name changes in RES's August 3, 2018. In the future, please refrain from extensive stream name changes, it makes it difficult to follow changes from the prospectus stage. If name changes are required, please provide a copy of the concept map used from the initial prospectus so a comparison can be made. 2. DWR believes this stream temperature is warm and not cool. 3. DWR requires that the existing wetlands need to be shown in Figure 5 -Existing Conditions. While the existing wetlands are shown on a map buried in an Appendix, this resource should be a prominent feature of any restoration project. 4. Section 5 makes no mention of wetlands whatsoever while almost half the project site is underlain by hydric soils. DWR recommends inserting an objective that elucidates that the project will at least enhance and perhaps restore relic wetlands on site. DWR realizes that wetland credits are not offered by this project, however, given that fact that these resources are regulated, providers should take care to make sure all wetland resources are accounted for and demonstrate that the project will provide a net benefit for the resource. 5. Section 6.4 — in the last paragraph, RES states the project "...will provide an overall increase in wetland function...". Unless RES plans to monitor and document the hydrologic function RES cannot make that statement. DWR recommends RES install several gauges to document the increased overbank events and maintenance or increased hydrological performance of the adjacent riparian wetlands. 6. Section 7- Performance Standards- please note that the 30 day flow metric is applicable to intermittent streams only. Therefore, please remove this metric from Table 15. Since the streams on site are perennial, DWR expects continuous flow. 7. DWR recommends installing a few wetland gauges to document the maintenance of proper hydroperiods and in -stream transducers (1 or 2) to document overbank events. Transducers are more accurate and reliable than crest gauges. 8. DWR requires that the existing wetlands be shown on the design sheets. 9. DWR requires that the proposed channel bed slope show bedform changes and not simply show a straight line. In addition, DWR would like to see the location on the design sheet of the boulder outcrop just above DWI -C. 10. Design sheet S4 shows a break of the proposed channel bed at station 23+00, what is the reason for this? Is this where the bedrock outcrop is located? 11. Is there a map showing the location of the cross sections shown in Appendix B? 12. DWR noted the increase in smus from prospectus stage to draft mitigation plan stage. DWR does not agree with the ratios shown for DWI -C, DW2-A and DW3. First for reach DW2-A, this reach was initially proposed as E2 at 2.5:1, the draft mitigation plan is proposing E1. After examining the design sheets and recalling the site visit, DWR believes the enhancement level 2 is more appropriate at the initial 2.5:1 ratio. Reach DW3 basically shows planting and fencing only, and DWR recommends a ratio of 3:1 for this short reach. Finally, reach DWI -C was discussed in the field (then as DW1-B) as a mixture of E1 and E2. DWR noted RES comments in the August 3' letter about this reach needing more work. However, until DWR can see the updated design sheets showing the bedrock outcrop, and exactly what is happening with the bedform (also, cross sections shown in Appendix B also confirms initial call, except we need to know the location of those cross sections), DWR is sticking with our initial comment of recommending E1 for this reach (at 1.5:1). Kim Browning, USACE: 1. The reach name changes from the prospectus document made it very difficult to track. 2. DW 1 C: My notes have that as originally being proposed as EII at the bedrock outcropping. 3. Table 9: Highly Functioning (HF) is not a category in the Stream Functions Pyramid Framework. 4. There is a small wetland within the easement boundary identified in the JD along DWIB. This should be depicted on the plan sheet, as well as the conceptual map, and though it's a small area, hydrology should be monitored to ensure no loss of wetlands occur. It's also recommended to place a veg plot in this area. 5. Where C channels are proposed for this project: Please update Table 15 in the Stream Geomorphology and Hydraulic Performance standard to include "The Entrenchment Ratio (ER) shall be no less than 2.2 for all measured riffle cross-sections on a given reach." The Cross Sections performance standard in Section 7.1 should be updated to reflect this as well. 6. Section 7.2: Vegetation—Please add "260 trees" to the statement for year five. 7. Please provide a Service Area Map. 8. Please provide a monitoring map (or include on the Conceptual Plan Map) the location of the gauges, existing wetland, veg plots, photo locations, etc. 9. Long Term Management: UP2S provided annual monitoring costs, but perhaps this list should be amended to include signage, fence monitoring, encroachments, etc. 10. Monitoring Bond: Typically we require an itemized list to calculate the Monitoring bond. Please provide an itemized breakdown for the monitoring costs.

DWR believes this stream temperature is warm and not cool. RES relied on information provided in the USACE North Carolina Stream Temperature Classification GIS file, available on RIBITS, to identify the stream temperature classification. According to these data, the stream is classified as cool. DWR requires that the existing wetlands need to be shown in Figure 5 -Existing Conditions. While the existing wetlands are shown on a map buried in an Appendix, this resource should be a prominent feature of any restoration project. Existing wetlands have been added to Figure 5. 4. Section 5 makes no mention of wetlands whatsoever while almost half the project site is underlain by hydric soils. DWR recommends inserting an objective that elucidates that the project will at least enhance and perhaps restore relic wetlands on site. DWR realizes that wetland credits are not offered by this project, however, given that fact that these resources are regulated, providers should take care to make sure all wetland resources are accounted for and demonstrate that the project will provide a net benefit for the resource. RES appreciates that DWR anticipates our work will enhance and perhaps restore wetlands on-site, as we also feel that the site will likely recognize benefits in increased hydrology and have an overall increase in wetland function. However, because we are not seeking any wetland credit on the site, we do not plan to include an objective relating to the restoration or enhancement of relic wetlands on-site. RES has performed a jurisdictional determination for the site and has identified regulated features within the project limits. All regulated features will be properly managed as required by the Clean Water Act throughout project development. We will install a wetland gauge in each of the three existing wetlands on-site post -construction, and provide well monitoring data in our monitoring reports. No monitoring criteria will be proposed for these wells. Section 6.4 — in the last paragraph, RES states the project "...will provide an overall increase in wetland function...". Unless RES plans to monitor and document the hydrologic function RES cannot make that statement. DWR recommends RES install several gauges to document the increased overbank events and maintenance or increased hydrological performance of the adjacent riparian wetlands. RES does not plan to monitor the hydrologic function in the on-site wetlands during or post construction as we are bit requesting wetland credits for the project. Therefore, we have removed this statement from the mitigation plan. 6. Section 7- Performance Standards- please note that the 30 day flow metric is applicable to intermittent streams only. Therefore, please remove this metric from Table 15. Since the streams on site are perennial, DWR expects continuous flow. This statement has been removed from Section 7. 7. DWR recommends installing a few wetland gauges to document the maintenance of proper hydroperiods and in -stream transducers (1 or 2) to document overbank events. Transducers are more accurate and reliable than crest gauges. Table 15 has been updated to specify the installation of stage recorders, which include both a crest gauge and signal transducers. This update was also made in Table 9 for consistency. One wetland gauge will be placed in each existing wetland for a total of three wetland gauges across the site. They will be installed post -construction to facilitate site access during construction and prevent cattle from interfering with the equipment prior to their exclusion from the project area. There are no monitoring criteria proposed related to these gauges. 8. DWR requires that the existing wetlands be shown on the design sheets. Plan sheets revised to show existing wetlands. 9. DWR requires that the proposed channel bed slope show bedform changes and not simply show a straight line. In addition, DWR would like to see the location on the design sheet of the boulder outcrop just above DW1-C. Plan sheets revised to include a detailed bed profile. Sheet S4 was revised to include the location of the bedrock outcrop above DWI -C. 10. Design sheet S4 shows a break of the proposed channel bed at station 23+00, what is the reason for this? Is this where the bedrock outcrop is located? This is the location of the existing bedrock outcrop. The proposed channel will tie-in to the existing channel for approximately 30 feet to maintain the bedrock feature. 11. Is there a map showing the location of the cross sections shown in Appendix B? The cross section locations have been added to the map in Appendix B title Survey Data Collection. 12. DWR noted the increase in SMUs from prospectus stage to draft mitigation plan stage. DWR does not agree with the ratios shown for DWI -C, DW2-A and DW3. First for reach DW2-A, this reach was initially proposed as E2 at 2.5:1, the draft mitigation plan is proposing E1. After examining the design sheets and recalling the site visit, DWR believes the enhancement level 2 is more appropriate at the initial 2.5:1 ratio. Reach DW3 basically shows planting and fencing only, and DWR recommends a ratio of 3:1 for this short reach. Finally, reach DWI -C was discussed in the field (then as DW1-B) as a mixture of E1 and E2. DWR noted RES comments in the August 3rd letter about this reach needing more work. However, until DWR can see the updated design sheets showing the bedrock outcrop, and exactly what is happening with the bedform (also, cross sections shown in Appendix B also confirms initial call, except we need to know the location of those cross sections), DWR is sticking with our initial comment of recommending E1 for this reach (at 1.5:1). RES agrees that the proposed work along Reaches DW2-A and DW3 justifies credit ratios of 2.5:1 (Enhancement Level II) and 3:1 (Enhancement Level III) respectively. All relevant tables have been revised to reflect the adjusted approaches and ratios. As for Reach DW1-C, RES feels that restoration is the appropriate approach for this reach given the channel exhibits a high degree of lateral instability (appears to be widening) and the channel is currently located along the north edge of the valley. Kim Browning, USAGE: 1. The reach name changes from the prospectus document made it very difficult to track. RES completely understands this comment and we have refocused on getting reach labels finalized in the initial concept plans going forward. Please see the below Reach ID Summary table.

DWI C: My notes have that as originally being proposed as EII at the bedrock outcropping. Restoration is proposed immediately upstream and downstream of the bedrock outcrop. Since the bedrock outcrop extends for less than 30 LF, this section was changed to restoration as grading will be required to tie-in to the newly constructed channel both upstream and downstream. 3. Table 9: Highly Functioning (HF) is not a category in the Stream Functions Pyramid Framework. All references to Highly Functioning have been removed and replaced with Functioning. 4. There is a small wetland within the easement boundary identified in the JD along DW1B. This should be depicted on the plan sheet, as well as the conceptual map, and though it's a small area, hydrology should be monitored to ensure no loss of wetlands occur. It's also recommended to place a veg plot in this area. Existing wetlands have been added to the appropriate figures. Hydrology will be monitored by a wetland gauge which will be installed post -construction. A vegetation monitoring plot will be placed in the general area around this wetland. 5. Where C channels are proposed for this project: Please update Table 15 in the Stream Geomorphology and Hydraulic Performance standard to include "The Entrenchment Ratio (ER) shall be no less than 2.2 for all measured riffle cross-sections on a given reach." The Cross Sections performance standard in Section 7.1 should be updated to reflect this as well. The referenced table and Section 7.1 have been updated. 6. Section 7.2: Vegetation—Please add "260 trees" to the statement for year five. This statement has been updated. 7. Please provide a Service Area Map. Figure 1 has been updated to serve as the Service Area and Project Vicinity Map. 8. Please provide a monitoring map (or include on the Conceptual Plan Map) the location of the gauges, existing wetland, veg plots, photo locations, etc. Figure 11 – Monitoring Plan has been added to address this comment. 9. Long Term Management: UP2S provided annual monitoring costs, but perhaps this list should be amended to include signage, fence monitoring, encroachments, etc. As noted in Section 10, UP2S has provided engagement letters that state their responsibilities to include the maintenance of easement boundary signage, annual on-site monitoring/inspections (which will include fence monitoring, where applicable), and encroachments. Any potential violations, including encroachment, will be promptly communicated to the landowner. 10. Monitoring Bond: Typically we require an itemized list to calculate the Monitoring bond. Please provide an itemized breakdown for the monitoring costs. An itemized breakdown of the monitoring costs has been added to the mitigation plan. FINAL MITIGATION PLAN Compass Point Mitigation Site Yadkin County, North Carolina USACE Action ID SAW -2017-01465 Yadkin River Basin HUC 03040101 Prepared by: fires Bank Sponsor: Environmental Banc & Exchange, LLC 302 Jefferson Street, Suite 110 Raleigh, NC 27605 919-209-1052 June 2019 "This mitigation plan has been written in conformance with the requirements of the following: • Federal rule for compensatory mitigation project sites as described in the Federal Register Title 33 Navigation and Navigable Waters Volume 3 Chapter 2 Section § 332.8 paragraphs (c)(2) through (c)(14). " EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Compass Point Mitigation Site ("the Project") is located in Yadkin County, approximately 4.5 miles northeast of Boonville. Water quality stressors currently affecting the Project include livestock production, agricultural production, and lack of riparian buffer. The Project presents 5,304 linear feet (LF) of stream restoration and enhancement generating 4,130 Cool Stream Mitigation Units (SMU) along three unnamed tributaries that drain directly to the Yadkin River. The Project is located in the Yadkin River Basin within Cataloging Unit 03040101, 12 -digit USGS HUC 030401011001, and NCDWR sub -basin 03-07-02. The current State classification for the Yadkin River at this location is Class C (NCDWQ 2011). Consisting of cattle pastures and wooded areas, the Project's total easement area is approximately 16.5 acres within the overall drainage area of 271 acres. Grazing livestock have historically had access to most stream reaches within the Project. The lack of riparian buffer vegetation, deep-rooted vegetation, and unstable channel characteristics have contributed to the degradation of stream banks throughout the Project area. Goals for the Project include an increase to hydrologic function and restoration to ecological function within the existing stream and riparian corridor and protect these features in perpetuity. These will be accomplished by returning the existing streams into stable conditions by constructing an E/C type stream with appropriate dimensions and pattern, reconnecting the channel to the floodplain, and backfilling the abandoned channel. In -stream structures will be utilized for vertical stability and to improve habitat. Buffer improvements will filter runoff from agricultural fields, thereby reducing nutrient and sediment loads to the channel. Livestock exclusion fence will be installed along the easement boundary. The widening and restoration of the riparian areas will also provide wildlife corridors throughout the Project area. Benefits to be accrued from these activities include improved water quality, and terrestrial and aquatic habitat. The stream design approach for the Project is to combine the analog method of natural channel design with analytical methods to evaluate stream flows and hydraulic performance of the channel and floodplain. The analog method involves the use of a reference reach, or "template" stream, adjacent to, nearby, or previously in the same location as the design reach. The template parameters of the analog reach are replicated to create the features of the design reach. The analog approach is useful when watershed and boundary conditions are similar between the design and analog reaches (Skidmore et al., 2001). Hydraulic geometry is developed using analytical methods to identify the design discharge. After completion of all construction and planting activities, the Project will be monitored on a regular basis throughout the seven-year post -construction monitoring period, or until performance standards are met. Upon approval for closeout by the Interagency Review Team (IRT), the site will be transferred to Unique Places to Save (UP2S). This party shall serve as conservation easement holder and long-term steward for the property and will conduct periodic inspection of the site to ensure that restrictions required in the conservation easement are upheld. Endowment funds required to uphold easement and deed restrictions will be finalized prior to site transfer to the responsible party.

The Project lies within the Yadkin River Basin, North Carolina Department of Water Resources (NCDWR) sub -basin 03-07-02 and United States Geological Survey (USGS) 12 -digit hydrologic unit code (HUC) 030401011001 (Figure 1). The Project is being designed to help meet compensatory mitigation requirements for stream impacts in the HUC 03040101. The Project proposes to restore 3,549 linear feet (LF), enhance 1,755 LF of existing stream, and provide water quality benefit for 271 acres of drainage area. The Project is in the Northern Inner Piedmont Level IV ecoregion. The Project is comprised of a single easement location along three unnamed tributaries to the Yadkin River, totaling 5,350 linear feet. The stream mitigation components are summarized in Table 1 and Figure 10. The Project is accessible from Pulliam Road. Coordinates for the Project are as follows: 36.269624, -80.638420. 1.2 Project Outcomes The streams proposed for restoration have been significantly impacted by livestock production, agricultural practices, and a lack of riparian buffer. Proposed improvements to the Project will help meet the river basin needs expressed in the 2009 Upper Yadkin Pee -Dee River Basin Restoration Priorities (RBRP) as well as ecological improvements to riparian corridor within the easement. Through stream restoration and enhancement, the Project presents 5,304 LF of proposed stream, generating 4,130 Cool Stream Mitigation Units (SMU) (Table 1). This mitigation plan is consistent with the October 20, 2017 IRT site visit notes (Appendix H). Table 1.

More specifically, goals outlined in the 2009 RBRP for the watershed include: 1. Restoration of water quality and aquatic habitat in impaired stream segments; 2. Protection of high -resource value waters, including HQ W, OR W, and WSW designated waters and those containing large numbers of rare and endangered species (Natural Heritage Element Occurrences); 3. Continuation of existing watershed restoration and protection initiatives and projects, including efforts funded by Clean Water Management Trust Fund (CWMTF), DWQ's 319 Program, NC EEP, Ag Cost Share Program (A CSP) and Community Conservation Assistance Program (CCAP); 4. Collaborative efforts with local resource agencies, land trusts and willing landowners to implement new stream, riparian buffer and wetland restoration, enhancement and preservation projects within TLWs; S. Improved management of stormwater runoff (including the implementation of stormwater BMP projects), especially in urban and suburban areas contributing to downstream degradation of stream habitat and impairment of water quality; and 6. Implementation of agricultural BMPs in order to limit inputs of sediment, nutrients, and fecal coliform to streams from active farming operations. 2.1 Site Selection The Project was identified as a stream and buffer restoration opportunity to improve water quality, habitat, and hydrology within the Yadkin River Basin within the 2009 Upper Yadkin Pee -Dee RBRP. The site lends itself to accomplish multiple RBRP goals along Project reaches due to an absence of riparian buffers, cattle access to the stream, and the historic land use, which has led to channelization. Many of the Project design goals and objectives will address major watershed stressors identified in the 2009 RBRP. Project -specific goals and objectives will be addressed further in Section 5. A project watershed map with the Project's drainage areas is shown on Figure 2 and watershed planning priority boundaries are shown on Figure 1. The Project will address two of the six goals outlined in the 2009 Upper Yadkin Pee -Dee RBRP. Establishing riparian buffers, instream structures, and increasing bedform diversity will help address RBRP Goal 1, but achievement will not be quantified. The Project will include the use of agricultural BMPs to limit inputs of sediment, nutrients, and fecal coliform to streams from active farming operations (RBRP Goal 6). The land required for the construction, management, and stewardship of this Project includes one parcel in Yadkin County with the following ownership in Table 2 & Figure 3. Once finalized, a copy of the land protection instrument will be included in Appendix C. The Wilmington District Conservation Easement model template will be utilized to draft the site protection instrument. Compass Point Mitigation Plan 2 June 2019 Table 2.

The total drainage area for the Project is 271 acres (0.42 mi2). Primary land use within the rural watershed consists of approximately 60.4 percent forest and 33.7 percent agricultural land. Impervious area covers less than one percent of the total watershed (Table 3 & Figure 4). Within the agricultural land use, pastureland accounts for 62.5 percent of the area, and row crops account for approximately 37.5 percent of the area. Although the project watershed is primarily forested, the majority of the agricultural areas within the watershed are in close proximity to the Project and play a significant role in the degradation of the Project streams. These activities have negatively impacted both water quality and streambank stability along the Project streams and their tributaries. The resulting observed stressors include excess nutrient input, streambank erosion, sedimentation, livestock access to streams, channel modification, and the loss of riparian buffers. Table 3.

Class C waters are protected for uses such as secondary recreation, fishing, wildlife, fish consumption, aquatic life including propagation, survival and maintenance of biological integrity, and agriculture. Secondary recreation includes wading, boating, and other uses involving human body contact with water where such activities take place in an infrequent, unorganized, or incidental manner (NCDWQ 2011). 3.2 Landscape Characteristics The Project is located in the Northern Inner Piedmont Level IV ecoregion, which is characterized by rolling to hilly higher elevations than the Southern Outer Piedmont, more rugged topography, and more monadnocks or mountain outliers than other areas of the Piedmont. It has colder temperatures, more snowfall, and a shorter growing season than in Southern Inner, Southern Outer, Northern Outer, and Carolina Slate Belt Piedmont regions. It has mostly mesic soils rather than the thermic soils that cover other regions of the Carolina Piedmont. The region contains more Virginia pine and less shortleaf pine than Southern Outer Piedmont and Carolina Slate Belt, more chestnut oak, and many mountain disjunct plant species. Streams tend to have higher gradients than in the Outer Piedmont regions and contain many mountain -type macroinvertebrate species. Compass Point Mitigation Plan 4 June 2019 Existing Vegetation Vegetation around the unbuffered reaches of Project streams are primarily composed of herbaceous pasture weeds, fescue, and some scattered trees. In general, these riparian zones are disturbed due to regular land management activities, including active pasture and crop land. On June 21, 2018 three 100m2 plots were surveyed along the floodplain of Project tributaries, to categorize the existing vegetation communities. Forested riparian areas along the majority of Project have been intermittently cattle -grazed and lack a well-developed understory and shrub strata. Additionally, a portion of the left bank of DWI -13 shows signs of being historically managed for timber harvest, resulting in an early successional habitat with young trees and many invasive shrubs and herbaceous plants. For this reason, representative plots were surveyed along reaches DWI -13 in active pasture, DW1-C in historic timber harvest disturbance, and DWI -D in historically used pasture land (Appendix B). Within each vegetation plot, all trees having equal to or greater than a five -inch (12.7 cm) diameter at breast height (DBH) were identified, measured, and used to calculate both basal area and stems per acre. Trees equal to or greater than 54 inches (137cm) in height were used to quantify tree species diversity. Canopy species data was calculated to quantify the existing natural community (Schafale, 2012) (Table 4). Shrub species and herbaceous species were also identified, and the percent cover was estimated. Table 4. Compass Point Vegetation Plot Summary Basal Area Plot t_21�_� Avg.

Sub -canopy species included eastern redbud (Cercis canadensis), blackgum (Nyssa sylvatica), flowering dogwood (Cornus florida), sawtooth blackberry (Rubus argutus). Herbaceous species included white avens (Geum canadense), woodsorrel (Oxalis stricta), horse nettle (Solanum carolinense), common blue violet (Viola sororia), frostweed (Verbesina virginica), trumpet creeper (Campsis radicans), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), roundleaf greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia), grape (Vitis sp.), Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia), white snakeroot (Ageratina altissima), lyreleaf sage (Salvia lyrata), tall hairy agrimony (Agrimonia gryposepala), prostrate ticktrefoil (Desmodium rotundifolium), southeastern wild -rye (Elymus glabriflorus), sedges (Carex sp.), silvery sedge (Carex canescens), poverty rush (Juncus tenuis), deer -tongue grass (Dichanthelium clandestinum), thistle (Asteraceae family), annual ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia), dogfennel (Eupatorium capillifolium), shiny cudweed (Gnaphalium spicatum), smartweed (Polygonum pensylvanicum), white aster (Symphyotrichum ericoides), meadow garlic (Allium canadense), partridge pea (Chamaecrista fasciculata), hairy leafcup (Smallanthus uvedalius), hog peanut (Amphicarpaea bracteata), horseweed (Conyza canadensis), dock (Rumex sp), plantain (Plantago sp.), and goldenrod (Solidago sp.). Invasive species were also found within the vegetation survey plots, and in the vicinity of the site: tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima), Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora), oriental bittersweet (Celestrus orbiculatus), and Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica). Non-native Compass Point Mitigation Plan 5 June 2019 species included smooth brome (Bromus inermis), red clover (Trifolium pratense), white clover (Trifolium repens), Japanese stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum), black medic (Medicago lupulina), mock strawberry (Duchesnea indica), annual meadow grass (Poa annua), tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea), bush clover (Lespedeza sp. ), shameplant (Mimosa pudica), ox -eye daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare), common mullein (Verbascum thapsus), sacred bamboo (Nandina domestica), common chickweed (Stellaria media), and common stork's -bill (Erodium cicutarium). Existing Wetlands A survey of existing wetlands was performed on November 16, 2017. Wetland boundaries were delineated using current methodology outlined in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory 1987). Soils were characterized and classified using the Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States, Version 7.0 (USDA-NRCS 2010). Within the boundaries of the proposed Project, three jurisdictional wetlands are present near Reach DWI (Appendix F & Figure 5), and are labeled as WA (Wetland A), WB (Wetland B), and WC (Wetland Q. WA is approximately 0.05 acres in size, WB is approximately 0.03 acres in size, and WC is approximately 0. 13 acres in size. Large portions of WA are under active management for cattle. WB and WC are located on either side of an agricultural culvert crossing where the outlet from the off-site pond drains into Reach DWI -B. Vegetation within the wetland areas was made up of white oak, eastern redcedar, Virginia pine, Chinese privet, tag alder (Alnus serrulate), blackberry, tearthumb (Persicaria sagittata), Pennsylvania smartweed, common rush (Juncus effuses), dogfennel, yellow nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus), and swamp aster (Symphyotrichum puniceum). Outside of the easement and wetland areas, cattle are actively managed for, and fescue is the dominant forage. A preliminary jurisdictional determination (PJD) request was sent to the USACE on December 8, 2017 and an approved PJD was received on March 6, 2018 (SAW -2018-01462) (Appendix F). The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetland Inventory Map (NWI) does not depict any potential wetland areas within the Project, but there is a freshwater pond mapped east of the Project area (Figure 6). Geology According to geology data from the North Carolina Geologic Survey, published in 1985, the Project is located in map unit CZmg, occurring in the Inner Piedmont, Chauga Belt, Smith River Allochthon, and Sauratown Mountain that formed in the later Proterozoic to Paleozoic era. This rock type is comprised of metagraywacke (biotite gnesiss) interlayered and gradational with muscovite -biotite schist with minor marble and granite rock. Soil Survey Existing soil information from the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) shows the property is located within the Cecil-Appling soil association. This association is deep, well -drained, medium - textured soils found over gneiss, granite, and schist, located on broad, gently rolling ridges. The Yadkin County Soil Survey shows eight mapping units across the Project. The soil series found on the Project are described below and summarized in Table 5. Project soils are mapped by the NRCS as Codorus loam, Delila fine sandy loam, Fairview sandy clay loam, Fairview-Gullied land complex, Fairview -Stott Knob complex, Ronda loamy sand, Ronda sand, and Woolwine-Fairview-Westfield complex within the easement (Figure 7). Codorus loam is occasionally flooded, somewhat poorly drained soil that is found on depressions on floodways. Delila fine sandy loam is poorly drained, occurs on depressions and is found on approximately 43 percent of the Project. Fairview sandy clay loam is moderately eroded, well drained, and found on interfluves. Fairview-Gullied land complex and Fairview -Stott Knob complex are both well drained and occur on hillslopes on ridges. Ronda loamy Compass Point Mitigation Plan 6 June 2019 sand and Ronda sand are both excessively drained and found in natural levees on floodplains. Woolwine-Fairview-Westfield complex is moderately eroded, well drained, and found on hillslopes and ridges. Codorus loam. This is a very deep, somewhat poorly drained soil that occurs on depressions on floodplains. They formed in loamy alluvium derived from igneous and metamorphic rock and generally occur on slopes less than two percent. Runoff is very high. Major uses are for cultivated crops or pasture. Codorus loam occurs in 11.1 percent of the easement. Delila fine sandy loam. This is a very deep, poorly drained soil that occurs on depressions and toeslopes. They formed in alluvium and/or colluvium over saprolite derived from granite and gneiss, and generally occur on slopes less than six percent. Runoff is negligible, and permeability is slow. Major uses are for pasture and idle land. Delila fine sandy loam occurs in 42.7 percent of the total easement area. Fairview soils. These are very deep, well -drained soils that occur on Piedmont uplands, hills, ridges, and interfluves. They formed in residuum from felsic metamorphic or igneous rock and generally occur on slopes between two and 60 percent. Runoff can be low or high and permeability is moderate. Major uses are cultivated crops and pasture land. Fairview soils occur in 33.2 percent of the easement. Ronda soils. These are very deep, excessively drained sandy soils on nearly level to gently sloping floodplains in the mesic southern Piedmont. They formed in sandy alluvium washed from soils formed in residuum from schist, gneiss, granite, phyllite, and other metamorphic and igneous rocks. Slopes ranged from zero to six percent. Runoff is very slow and permeability is rapid. Major uses include cultivated crops or pasture land. Ronda soils occur on six percent of the easement. Woolwine-Fairview-Westfield complex. This is a very deep, well -drained soil that occurs on hillslopes on ridges in the Piedmont upland. They formed in residuum from felsic or intermediate metamorphic or igneous rock, and generally occur on slopes between 15-45 percent. Runoff is high and permeability is moderate. Major uses include cultivated crops, pasture, and forest. Woolwine-Fairview- Westfield occurs in 6.9 percent of the easement. Table 5.

Several watershed characteristics, such as groundwater, vegetation, surface drainage, and potentially soil parameters have been modified. Soil structure and surface texture have been altered from intensive agricultural operations. The Project area is currently still in agricultural use and is being used as pasture for cattle. Livestock have full access to the project reaches, and these reaches remain heavily impacted. The middle area of the Project has been somewhat revegetated with invasive shrubs and the northern portion shows far less cattle disturbance since the 1970s. Outside the Project area is also mostly in agricultural use and where it is not, remains heavily forested. The future land use for the Project area will include an established 16.5 -acre conservation easement, that will be protected in perpetuity. The Project easement will have 5,305 linear feet of functioning streams, a minimum 50 -foot riparian buffer, and will be protected with fencing. Outside the Project will likely remain in agricultural use. Much of the forested area in the immediate vicinity of the Project has steep terrain, and if it is cleared, will likely be used for pasture rather than cropland due to the erosive properties of the soils in the area. 3.4 Regulatory Considerations and Potential Constraints Property, Boundary, and Utilities There are two planned crossings within the Project. These crossings will occur at easement breaks and will allow landowners to continue current land -use and access as needed. One crossing will be a new culvert and one will be an improved ford. The first (a culvert) is between DWI -C and DWI -D and is Compass Point Mitigation Plan 8 June 2019 approximately 60 feet wide. The second easement break (a ford) is directly below the DWI -A and DW2-13 confluence and is approximately 40 feet wide. An existing powerline easement is located at the southern edge of the Project, limiting the extent of headwater reaches. The final reach that drains the Project to the Yadkin River experiences frequent flooding from the river and therefore will be enhanced with exclusion fencing and supplemental planting as needed. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)/ Hydrologic Trespass According to the North Carolina Floodplain Mapping Information System, the Project includes a portion of the of Project within the FEMA 100 -year flood zone (Zone AE, one percent annual chance of flooding) (Figure 9). Reaches DWI -E and DWI -D, where the Project connects to the Yadkin River, is in a regulated floodway zone. Hydraulic modeling will be required to determine whether restoration activities will have an effect on 100 -year flood elevations downstream. The design and permitting of the mitigation will include coordination with the Yadkin County Floodplain Administrator and a No - Rise Certification or CLOMR/LOMR will be secured. No hydrologic trespass will be permitted to adjacent properties upstream or downstream of the project. The Project can be found on Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) Panel 37171C (map number 3710590000K), effective date August 18, 2009. Environmental Screening and Documentation To ensure that a project meets environmental screening, scoping letters were sent to the regulatory agencies of the IRT (Appendix H). 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 USFWS database lists one Federally listed species that may occur in proximity to the Project: the Northern long- eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis). No protected species or potential habitat for protected species was observed during preliminary project evaluations. Species and species habitat listed in the USFWS database was inspected during the field investigation to determine whether they occur at the Project. No individual species or habitats were identified on site. Potential impacts to species and habitat off- site, downstream, and within the vicinity of the Project were also considered. Formal USFWS consultation for Northern long-eared bat (NLEB) is not required for this Site since it is entirely located outside of the confirmed hibernation and maternity site for the species. Therefore, this project has met the criteria for the 4(d) rule, any associated take is therefore exempt. Furthermore, the USFWS encourages to remove trees outside the pup season (June 1 to July 31) and/or active season (April 1 to October 31) to reduce the chance of impacting unidentified maternity roosts; and to avoid clearing habitat within a 5 -mile radius of hibernation sites when bats are emerging from or preparing for hibernation (April 1 to May 15 and August 15 to November 14, respectively). The Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act requires consultation with state fish and wildlife agencies when "waters of any stream or other body of water are proposed or authorized, permitted or licensed to be impounded, diverted ... or otherwise controlled or modified. The North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission (NCWRC) responded to the USACE Public Notice, issued on September 6, 2017, on October 26, 2017. The NCWRC indicated that there is potential for two rare mussels, the brook floater (Alasmidonta varicosa) and creeper (Strophitus undulates) (state endangered and state threatened, respectively) to be present in the Yadkin River in the vicinity of the Project area. NCWRC recommends riparian buffer widening and protection, as well as erosion and sediment control at this site. Documentation is included in Appendix H. Compass Point Mitigation Plan 9 June 2019 Cultural Resources A review of North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) GIS Web Service (accessed June 11, 2017) database did not reveal any listed or potentially eligible historic or archeological resources on the proposed Project property. There is one site, half a mile away, on the other side of the Yadkin River. The site is listed as the Rockford Historic District (Site ID SR0004). There are no anticipated impacts from Project activities to state surveyed properties as there are none in the proposed project vicinity or watershed. A letter was sent to SHPO on July 7, 2017 with the prospectus. The letter described the Project and requested a review and comment of potential cultural resources occurring within the vicinity of the Project. SHPO responded on November 7, 2017 stating that there will be no effect on historic resources. (Appendix H). Table 6. Regulatory Considerations Regulation Applicable? Resolved?

The easement has two agricultural crossings; one between DWI -C and DWI -B, and the second easement break is on DW2-B near the confluence with DW 1-A. The stream channels include the main unnamed tributary and two additional tributaries that converge from the east, then split into eight reaches based on proposed treatment type (Figure 5). Results of the preliminary data collection are presented in Table 7. In general, all or portions of all eight Project reaches do not function to their full potential. Current conditions demonstrate significant habitat degradation as a result of impacts from agriculture, livestock production, and lack of riparian buffer. Being heavily eroded and incised, some of the streams do not access their floodplains as frequently as they naturally would have prior to agricultural operations. In many cases in the lower elevations, the riparian buffer is in poor condition where much of the riparian buffer is devoid of trees or shrubs up to the edge of the existing channel or comprised largely of invasive species. In some reaches, trees are present, but understory riparian buffer has been heavily impacted by cattle. Habitat along the majority of the restoration reaches is poor in that there is little woody debris or overhanging vegetation for fish cover or protection for other aquatic species. Morphological parameters are located in Appendix B. Compass Point Mitigation Plan 10 June 2019 Table 7.

Channel characteristics are summarized in Table 7 and Appendix B. Stream determinations have been verified by the USACE. Discharge Estimating flows (discharge) for the Project is difficult due to the channelization and agricultural impacts of the existing streams. A combination of gauge analysis, regional curves, and hydraulic and hydrologic analysis were used to estimate existing bankfull discharges. Land use and slope were considered when the discharge calculations were developed. All hydraulic and hydrologic analyses are discussed in Section 6.2. Data and analysis of the hydrologic and hydraulic models are included as Appendix B. Existing Channel Morphology DW1-A Reach DWI -A is 315 linear feet and is located in the southwest corner of the Project area and flows northeast to a confluence with DW2-B. The reach is straightened, with almost no riparian buffer and primarily fescue up to the banks. Bed and bank stability are good throughout the reach due to extended riparian buffers upstream and a relatively small watershed size. The channel top width ranges from 10- 13 feet with maximum depths of two to three feet. The drainage area for the reach is approximately 96 acres. DW1-B Reach DWI -B is 1,955 linear feet and, combined with DWI -C and DWI -D, comprises the primary Project reach, flowing from the confluence of DWI -A and DW2-B in a northerly direction towards reach DWI -C. The reach is mostly wooded along the banks, but disturbance to the understory, particularly at the top of the reach, remains widespread due to cattle access. Bed and bank stability are low throughout the reach due to heavy cattle access and increased water transport. The channel top width ranges from 10-20 feet with maximum depths of five to six feet. The drainage area for the reach is approximately 237 acres. DWI -C Reach DW 1-C is 604 linear feet and located along the northern portion of the Project where an easement break exists at the proposed agricultural crossing. There is a dirt road that comes within 50 -feet of the Compass Point Mitigation Plan 11 June 2019 channel near the downstream end of the channel. The reach begins in the forested downstream end of DW1-B and flows northeast towards DWI -D. The reach is mostly wooded along the left bank with a mixture of sparse vegetation and minimal buffer on the right bank. The reach is laterally unstable with moderate to severe bank erosion along the riffles and outer meander bends. The channel top width ranges from 15-30 feet with maximum depths of three to five feet. The drainage area for the reach is approximately 256 acres. DW1-D Reach DWI -D is 677 linear feet and located in the northern portion of the Project area and flows in a northerly direction from an agricultural crossing to reach DW 1-E. The reach has a small riparian buffer but remains highly disturbed from the agricultural road and cattle access. Bed and bank stability are low throughout the reach because continual cattle access, increased water transport, and channel straightening have led to heavy bank incision. This reach has patches of high quality cobble and bedrock. The channel top width ranges from 20-40 feet with maximum depths of four to six feet. The drainage area for the reach is approximately 269 acres. DW1-E Reach DWI -E is 432 linear feet and located in the northernmost portion of the Project area and drains the entire Project watershed to the Yadkin River. The channel has some large trees on the banks, but the riparian buffer consists mostly of row crops and disturbed brush habitat. The channel has been widened and deeply incised from straightening, watershed land practices, and intermittent flooding from the Yadkin River. Due to its high disturbance, particularly from flooding events, bed and bank stability are low throughout the reach. The drainage area for the reach is approximately 271 acres. DW2-A Reach DW2-A is 968 linear feet and located in the southeast portion of the Project area and flows west to a confluence with reach DW3. This reach maintains some disturbed buffer as it is bordered by upland pasture on the right bank and an upland powerline easement on the left bank. There are areas of moderate to severe bank erosion scattered throughout the reach while other banks are stable due to the influence of rooted woody vegetation. Bed stability is good throughout the reach because of the small watershed size and undesirable habitat for cattle, despite allowing cattle access throughout. The channel top width ranges from 10-30 feet with maximum depths of two to three feet. DW2-B Reach DW2-B is 306 linear feet and located in the southern portion of the Project and flows northwest from the confluence of DW2-A and DW3 to the confluence with DW1-B. Channel banks are incised throughout the reach due to the lack of riparian buffer and cattle access. The channel top width ranges from 10-15 feet with maximum depths of three to five feet. The drainage area for the reach is approximately 90 acres. DW3 Reach DW3 is 93 linear feet and located in the southern portion of the Project. The reach flows from the bordering powerline easement, north to a confluence with DW2-B. Existing land use along this reach is disturbed woodland, with occasional cattle access and a maintained powerline upstream. The reach is fairly stable. The channel top width ranges from five to 10 feet with maximum depths of two to three feet. Channel Stability Assessment A modified version of the channel stability assessment method ("channel assessment") provided in "Assessing Stream Channel Stability at Bridges in Physiographic Regions" by Johnson (2006) was used Compass Point Mitigation Plan 12 June 2019 to assess channel stability for the Project's existing channels. This method may be rapidly applied on a variety of stream types in different physiographic regions having a range of bed and bank materials. The original channel assessment method was designed to evaluate 13 stability indicators in the field. These parameters are: watershed characteristics (frequency of watershed disturbances such as agricultural activities, urbanization, etc.), flow habit, channel pattern, entrenchment/channel confinement, bed material, bar development, presence of obstructions/debris jams, bank soil texture and coherence, average bank angle, bank vegetation/protection, bank cutting, mass wasting/bank failure, and upstream distance to bridge. See Appendix B for a detailed description of the stability indicators. As this method was initially developed to assess stability at bridges, a few minor adjustments were made to remove indicators that contradict stability characteristics of natural channels in favor of providing hydraulic efficiency at bridges. First, the "channel pattern" indicator was altered such that naturally meandering channels scored low as opposed to straightened/engineered channels that are favorable for stability near bridges. Secondly, the last indicator, "upstream distance to bridge", was removed from the assessment as bridges are not a focus of channel stability for this project. The 12 indicators were then scored in the field, and a rating of excellent, good, fair, or poor was assigned to each project reach based on the total score. The channel assessment results (scores and ratings) for the Project are provided in Table 8. Two of the eight project stream reaches received "Fair" ratings, one reach received a "Poor" rating, while five reaches received "Good" ratings. Most Project streams were observed to have relatively high bank angles and many were found to be actively eroding. A majority of the channels have been impacted by farming practices or livestock production, and most are slightly entrenched. These characteristics are reflected in the higher channel assessment scores for average bank angle and bank vegetation/protection. Most reaches also scored poorly for watershed characteristics since the surrounding land use is dominated by agriculture activities. Table 8.

The usual and preferred indicators rarely exist, and other factors may be taken into consideration in order to approximate a bankfull stage. Other factors that may be used are wrack lines, vegetation lines, scour lines, or top of a bankfull bench; however, complete confidence should not be placed on these indicators. Along the proposed restoration reaches, the channel is generally entrenched and actively maintained, which means bankfull indicators were very limited or non-existent. Therefore, bankfull stage was estimated by using Piedmont Regional Curves and other hydrologic analyses, existing cross sections, and in-house spreadsheets to estimate bankfull area and bankfull discharge. Compass Point Mitigation Plan 14 June 2019 3.6 Site Photographs Compass Point Mitigation Plan 15 June 2019 Compass Point Mitigation Plan 16 June 2019 4 FUNCTIONAL UPLIFT POTENTIAL The Stream Functions Pyramid Framework (Harman et. al. 2012) uses stream functions to describe project objectives, existing condition assessments and monitoring, performance metrics, and design criteria. The Framework separates stream functions into five categories, ordered into a hierarchy, which communicate the interrelations among functions and illustrate the dependence of higher level functions (biology, physiochemical and geomorphology) on lower level functions (hydrology and hydraulics). Functions that affect the greatest number of other functions are illustrated at the base of the Pyramid, while functions that have the least effect on other functions are illustrated at the top. The Pyramid is illustrated below Chart 1. Stream Functions Pyramid A Guide for Assessing & Restoring Stream Functions N ovmvi m Chart 1. Stream Functions Pyramid wharmnn®sIream-mec4an ics corn 'd StreamMechanies Fischenich (2006) found that the most critical functions include those that address hydrodynamic processes, sediment transport processes, stream stability and riparian buffer restoration. By addressing these fundamental functions and processes, a restored stream and riparian system are capable of supporting more dependent functions that typically require time to establish, such as diverse biological communities, chemical and nutrient processes, diverse habitats and improved water and soil quality. The objectives of the Project will address the most critical functional objectives that will allow for a more restored stream and riparian buffer over time. While traditional mitigation approaches have generally relied on surrogate measures of success (i.e. linear feet of restoration) for determining SNfU credit yields, a function -based approach provides a Compass Point Mitigation Plan 17 June 2019 more objective and flexible approach to quantify the expected ecological benefits of a mitigation design. Additionally, a functional based approach broadens the reach -scale goals of a restoration project by contextualizing the functional uplift to the watershed scale. The Project will provide numerous ecological and water quality benefits within the Yadkin River Basin by applying an ecosystem restoration approach. The restoration approach at the reach scale of this project will have the greatest effect on the hydraulic and geomorphology function of the system but will benefit the upper-level functions (physiochemical and biology) over time, and in combination with other projects within the watershed. Anticipated functional benefits and improvements within the Project area, as based on the Function -Based Framework are outlined in Table 9. 4.1 Anticipated Functional Benefits and Improvements Hydrology According to the Stream Functions Pyramid Framework, hydrology is defined as the transport of water from the watershed to the channel. Therefore, this Project intends to make significant improvements to the hydrology in order to uplift function. Much of the improvement will come from altering land use within these reaches' catchment areas. By converting land -use for a significant percentage of the catchment area from pasture to riparian forest, curve numbers will decrease and reach runoff will improve. Hydraulic The hydraulic function of the Pyramid is defined as transport of water in the channel, on the floodplain, and through sediments. Perhaps the greatest potential uplift at the Project will be achieved through establishing healthy floodplain connectivity. Reaches in the Project do not have functioning floodplain connectivity or stable flow dynamics. Reaches where floodplain connectivity is not -functioning or functioning -at -risk will be improved to functioning by reducing bank height ratios and increasing entrenchment ratios. Reaches in which stable flow dynamics are not -functioning or functioning -at -risk will be improved to functioning by constructing a new channel that is geometrically stable based on the Project's hydrology inputs. Additionally, instream structures will be installed to address the energy and erosive power of the water so that a stable base flow is achieved post -project. Geomorphology Geomorphology as defined within the Pyramid Framework, is the transport of wood and sediment to create bed forms and dynamic equilibrium. Sediment Transport will be improved in reaches that currently function -at -risk or not -functioning by designing channels that transport sediment until it reaches an appropriate place to settle, like a point bar. Large Woody Debris Transport and Storage will be improved through the use of woody debris such as log vanes, root wads, log weirs, and log toes for in -stream structures on restoration and enhancement I reaches. The restoration reaches are also designed to accumulate woody debris by having defined shallow riffles where cobble catches and holds woody debris and leaf packs. Riparian vegetation is functioning in some areas, but is either functioning -at -risk or not -functioning on most reaches. Therefore, riparian buffers will be planted out to a minimum of 50 feet to improve the riparian vegetation to functioning levels. Bed form diversity will be improved in restoration areas by using a natural riffle pool sequence from the reference reach to inform design of functioning riffle pool sequences in constructed channels based on reference reach conditions. This bed form diversity will also further improve aquatic habitat. These functional parameters are interconnected and ultimately depend on each other in order to function properly. Therefore, by focusing improvements to these parameters, the restored channels will achieve dynamic equilibrium and provide maximum geomorphic functional uplift. Compass Point Mitigation Plan 18 June 2019 Physiochemical The Pyramid Framework defines the physicochemical category as temperature and oxygen regulation and the processing of organic matter and nutrients. Although this Project would support the overarching goal in the Yadkin Pee -Dee RBRP to promote nutrient and sediment reduction in agricultural areas, it is difficult to measure nutrient and sediment reduction at this project level because they can be affected by so many variables. However, several restoration actions are known to help reduce nutrients and sediment even though they may not be measurable at the project level. These activities include cattle exclusion and direct removal of fecal inputs, filtering of runoff through buffer areas, the conversion of active farm fields to forested buffers, and improved denitrification and nutrient uptake through buffer zones. Additional benefits may also come from functional uplift of the lower level stream functions (hydraulics and geomorphology), which will reduce sediment and nutrients in the system through bank stabilization and reforesting. Temperature regulation will also be improved through the restoration of canopy tree species to the stream buffer areas. Oxygen regulation will occur through two actions: first, the temperature of the water directly impacts the amount of gas held by the water. Therefore, through planting the buffer to shade the channel the temperature is decreased, and dissolved oxygen is increased. Second, the log structures placed in the stream create mixing zones where oxygen dissolves much faster than the standard exchange rate of oxygen to dissolved oxygen. The processing of organic matter will be improved once healthy riffles are shallow enough to catch twigs and branches that then retain leaves. Many of these physiochemical benefits occur slowly over time and are dependent on multiple variables within the stream ecosystem. Therefore, it is not practical or feasible to directly measure these parameters within the monitoring time -frame of this project. With that said, it is logical to use existing riparian buffer and visual performance standards to demonstrate the positive correlation between geomorphic parameters and physicochemical parameters. For example, as riparian buffer trees grow, as represented in annual monitoring reports, it is anticipated that canopy cover is actively shading the stream channel and reducing water temperature. This is not a substitute for direct physicochemical monitoring, but it is a useful tool to help project the long-term benefits of the Project in terms of its functional uplift. Biology The highest category of the Pyramid is biology and is defined as the biodiversity and life histories of aquatic and terrestrial life, specifically referring to animals. As mentioned for the physiochemical stream function, it will be difficult to measure the functional uplift of the biological functions at this site within the monitoring period of the project. However, since the life histories of many species likely to benefit from stream and wetland restoration are depending on all the lower -level functions, the functional uplift from the hydraulic and geomorphic levels would have a positive effect to the biology over time and in combination with other projects within the watershed is anticipated. Again, there is no substitute for direct biological monitoring, but it is important to understand the hierarchy of the Stream Functions Pyramid Framework in order to help project long-term benefits of the Project though only categories two and three (hydraulics and geomorphology) will be directly measured during the seven- year monitoring period. Compass Point Mitigation Plan 19 June 2019 5 MITIGATION PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES Through the comprehensive analysis of the Project's maximum functional uplift using the Stream Functions Pyramid Framework, specific, attainable goals and objectives will be realized by the Project. These goals clearly address the degraded water quality and nutrient input from farming that were identified as major watershed stressors in the 2009 Upper Yadkin Pee -Dee River RBRP. The Project will address outlined RBRP Goals 1 and 6 (listed in Section 2). The Project goals are: • Improve water transport from watershed to the channel in a non-erosive manner in a stable channel; • Improve flood flow attenuation on site and downstream by allowing for overbank flows and connection to the active floodplain; • Improve instream habitat; • Restore and enhance native floodplain vegetation; and • Indirectly support the goals of the 2009 Upper Yadkin Pee -Dee RBRP to improve water quality and to reduce sediment and nutrient loads. The Project objectives to address the goals are: • Design and reconstruct stream channels sized to convey bankfull flows that will maintain a stable dimension, profile, and planform based on modeling, watershed conditions, and reference reach conditions; • Add in -stream structures and bank stabilization measures to protect restored and enhanced streams; • Install habitat features such as brush toes, constructed riffles, woody materials, and pools of varying depths to restored and enhanced streams; • Reduce bank height ratios and increase entrenchment ratios to reference reach conditions; • Increase forested riparian buffers to at least 50 feet on both sides of the channel along the Project reaches with a hardwood riparian plant community; • Treat exotic invasive species; and • Establish a permanent conservation easement on the Project that will exclude future livestock from stream channels and their associated buffers. Anticipated functional benefits and improvements within the Project area, as based on the Function Based Framework are outlined in Table 9. Limitations to achieving these watershed goals arise by remaining constrained to the project boundaries. While we are restoring the habitat and streams to stable and effective conditions that achieve our goals within the Project parcels, we are unable to influence the effect of all riparian buffers and livestock impact in other areas within the watershed. However, with responsible restoration and stewardship of the majority of reaches within this small watershed, overall watershed functionality and health will improve to meet the RBRP goals. Compass Point Mitigation Plan 20 June 2019 Best Management Practices (BMPs) A suite of agricultural BMPs will be utilized for the Project to reduce direct effluent inputs, pollutant contamination, and sediment loading. The combination of the following agricultural BMPs: riparian buffer planting, bank stabilization, stream restoration, livestock exclusion, livestock watering facilities, and pipeline, will ultimately lead to the functional uplift of the site, while still allowing livestock production to persist through the installation of alternative water sources. The riparian buffer will be restored along all project reaches. Restored riparian buffers are established adjacent to and up -gradient from watercourses of water bodies to improve water quality. The main advantages of the restored riparian buffer will be to provide water quality treatment, erosion control, and water temperature benefits. Moreover, there will be significant reductions in sedimentation, nutrient input, and fecal coliform input. Approximately 12,250 linear feet of livestock exclusion fencing will be installed along the easement boundary; therefore, livestock will no longer have stream access. Woven -wire fence with treated posts will be used for boundaries adjacent to pasture and barbed wire will be used within the Yadkin river floodway. The main advantages of exclusion fence are that there will be significant reductions in sediment, nutrients, and fecal coliform. To account for eliminating livestock water access, landowners will be provided an alternate water source. Up to four watering facilities will be installed to provide high quality drinking water to livestock. Compass Point Mitigation Plan 21 June 2019 Table 9.

Portions of the Project were historically diverted to form poorly -functioning stream channels. Physical parameters of the Project were used, as well as other reference materials, to determine the target stream type. The "Classification of the Natural Communities of North Carolina" was also used to narrow the potential community types that would have existed at the Project (Schafale, 2012). An iterative process was used to develop the final information for the Project design. Targeted reference conditions included the following: • Located within the Physiographic Region and ecoregion, • Similar watershed size, • Similar land use on site and in the watershed, • Similar soil types on site and in the watershed, • Ideal, undisturbed habitat — several types of woody debris present, • Similar topography, • Similar slope, • Pattern common among Piedmont streams, and • Minimal presence of invasive species. Obtaining property owner information and owner authorization for access was another factor in locating suitable reference sites for the Project. There was no predetermined amount of reference sites needed as long as the site was suitable and met the parameters. Many streams in this watershed are impacted by cattle and agricultural practices, having a minimal riparian buffer, making it difficult to find an ideal reference for the Project site. Two reference reaches, UT to Smithy's Creek and UT to Grassy Creek, were selected for use in developing design parameters. Reference Watershed Characterization The first reference reach, UT to Smithey's Creek, is also located within the Yadkin Pee -Dee River Basin. This reach is 150 feet in length, with a drainage area of 0.18 square miles (118 acres). The land use in both watersheds is characterized by mostly agricultural, with mixed pines and hardwoods (42%), and a small amount of residential. The second reference reach, UT to Grassy Creek, is also located within the Yadkin Pee -Dee River Basin. This reach is 318 feet in length, with a drainage area of 0.67 square miles (426 acres). The land use in both watersheds is characterized by mostly agricultural, with mixed pines and hardwoods, and a small amount of residential Reference Discharge Several hydrologic models/methods were used to develop a bankf ill discharge for each reference reach. Existing drainage area, land use, slope, roughness, and cross-sectional area were all factors considered when performing the calculations. Using a combination of regional curves, in-house spreadsheet tools, and a project specific regional flood frequency analysis, the existing bankfull discharge for the references reaches was estimated at 25-28 cubic feet per second (ft3/s) and 50 cubic feet per second for UT to Smithy's Creek and UT to Grassy Creek respectively. See Section 6.2 for a more detailed description of the hydrologic analyses performed for this project. Compass Point Mitigation Plan June 2019 23 Reference Channel Morphology Two reference reaches, described above, were selected for use as a line of evidence of stable stream morphology to evaluate the proposed stream morphology. The morphological parameters for the reference reaches are presented in Appendix B. Reference Channel Stability Assessment Both reference reaches UT to Smithey's Creek and UT to Grassy Creek were stable and showed no evidence of incision or erosion in the portions that were surveyed and analyzed. Each stream appeared to maintain its slope and had sufficient amounts of vegetation to secure its banks. Riparian buffer widths exceeded 50 feet on each side. The reference reaches received a "Good" rating as the channels each demonstrate a stable meandering pattern and a well -vegetated riparian buffer. Reference Bankfull Verification Typical indicators of bankfull include vegetation at the bankfull elevation, scour lines, wrack lines, vegetation lines, benches/inner berm, and point bars. Throughout the entire length of the reference reaches, bankfull is located at the top of bank elevation. The accuracy of this bankfull stage is verified by the Piedmont Regional Curves and hydrologic analyses using existing cross sections to calculate area and discharge. Evidence that can further support the location of bankfull is the lack of any bench or berm features within the channel, and wrack lines present within the floodplain. 6.2 Design Parameters Stream Restoration Approach Stream restoration efforts along the tributaries of the Project will be accomplished through analyses of geomorphic conditions and watershed characteristics. The design approach applies a combination of analytical and reference reach -based design methods that meet objectives commensurate with both ecological and geomorphic improvements. Proposed treatment activities may range from minor bank grading and planting to re-establishing stable planform and hydraulic geometry. For reaches requiring full restoration, natural design concepts have been applied and verified through rigorous engineering analyses and modeling. The objective of this approach is to design a geomorphically stable channel that provides habitat improvements and ties into the existing landscape. The Project will include priority I and II stream restoration, enhancement I, enhancement II, and enhancement III. Stream restoration will incorporate the design of a single -thread meandering channel, with parameters based on data taken from reference sites, published empirical relationships, and best professional judgment. A conceptual plan view is provided in Figure 10. Current stream conditions along the proposed restoration reaches exhibit habitat degradation as a result of impacts from livestock and channelization performed to promote agricultural activities. Additionally, the riparian buffer is in poor condition throughout most of the Project area, where much of it is devoid of trees or shrubs, and active pasture is present up to the edge of the existing channel. The Project design approach began with a thorough study of existing conditions, including the onsite streams, valleys, and watershed. Design parameters, including active channel, habitat and floodplain features were developed from analyses performed on the reference site data. Analytical design techniques were used to determine the design discharge and to verify the design as a whole. Engineering analysis will be performed using various hydrologic and hydraulic models to verify the design. A combination of methods will be used to estimate bankfull discharge, and larger flood events. A HEC -RAS model will then be used to simulate water surface elevations of flows generated by the Compass Point Mitigation Plan June 2019 24 hydrologic analysis. The development of the HEC model is an important component to the design; therefore, model input parameters are field verified when possible. Through this hydrologic analysis, the design discharge (typically referenced as bankfull or dominant discharge) will be determined. The subsequent design will be based on this calculated discharge. As part of the design process, a qualitative analysis of sediment supply will be performed by characterizing watershed conditions. A combination of windshield surveys, existing land use data, and historical aerial photography, followed up by ground truthing, will be analyzed to assess existing and past watershed conditions and to determine if any changes occurred that would significantly impact sediment supply. Design parameters developed through the analyses of reference reach data, watershed characterizations, and hydrologic and hydraulic modeling will be confirmed with shear stress and velocity analyses. Geomorphic and habitat studies will be performed concurrently with the engineering analyses. While stream design will be verified by simulations of hydrology and fluvial processes, analogs of desirable habitat features will be derived from reference sites and integrated into the project design. Both in - stream and riparian habitat features will be designed. In -stream structures will be used throughout the project to act as grade control and for bank stabilization by dissipating and redirecting the stream's energy. Bank stability may further be enhanced through the installation of brush toes, live stakes and cuttings bundles. Sections of abandoned stream channel will be backfilled with material excavated from on site to the elevation of the floodplain in areas adjacent to the new channel, installing channel plugs where necessary. The floodplain will be planted with native species creating a vegetated buffer, which will provide numerous water quality and ecological benefits. Stream banks will be stabilized using a combination of grading, erosion control matting, bare -root plantings, native material revetment techniques (i.e., bioengineering), structure placement, and sod transplants where possible. The stream and adjacent riparian areas will be protected by a minimum 50 -foot conservation easement which will be fenced to exclude livestock as needed. The Project has been broken into the following design reaches: Reach DWI -A - This reach begins on the southwest end of the Project, flows northeast to a confluence with DWI -B and DW2-B, and totals 262 linear feet of Enhancement 11. Open pasture is located adjacent to the reach. Enhancement activities will include improving habitat through livestock exclusion fencing and riparian planting. The livestock exclusion fencing will provide wildlife corridors throughout the Project area and will remove livestock access to the riparian areas. A flow gauge will be installed midway on the reach to monitor hydrology. Reach DW1-B - This reach begins on the southern end of the Project from DWI -A and DW2-B, flows north to DWI -C, and totals 1,948 linear feet of Priority 1/II restoration. Actively managed pasture is located adjacent to the reach on the upstream end. The downstream end is surrounded by intermittently grazed pasture and disturbed secondary growth in an area with previous timber harvest. Restoration activities will include constructing a new channel within the natural valley with appropriate dimensions and pattern and backfilling the abandoned channel. In -stream structures such as log sills, brush toes, and log vanes will be installed for stability and to improve habitat. Habitat will further be improved through buffer plantings and livestock exclusion. Proposed buffer activities will improve riparian areas that will filter runoff from adjacent pastures, thereby reducing nutrient and sediment loads to the channel. Reach DWI -C — This reach begins on the north end of the Project from DWI -B, and flows northeast to a culvert crossing and DW 1-D. This reach totals 566 linear feet of Priority UII restoration, beginning immediately downstream of a bedrock drop structure at the bottom of DWI -B. Any sections of the Compass Point Mitigation Plan June 2019 25 existing road will be decommissioned in the easement and planted. Intermittently active pasture and disturbed woodland is located adjacent to the reach. Restoration activities will include constructing a new channel within the natural valley with appropriate dimensions and pattern, cutting a floodplain bench and backfilling the abandoned channel. In-stream structures such as log sills, brush toes, and log vanes will be installed for stability and to improve habitat. Habitat will further be improved through buffer plantings and livestock exclusion. Livestock exclusion fencing will provide wildlife corridors throughout the Project area and will remove livestock access to the riparian areas. Reach DW1-D - This reach begins at the downstream end of DWI-C and proposed culvert crossing in the northern end of the Project, and flows northeast to DWI-E. The reach totals 758 linear feet of Priority FII restoration. Restoration activities will include constructing a floodplain bench to aid in connectivity to the existing floodplain and constructing a new channel with appropriate dimensions and pattern. When possible, bed material will be harvested and reused to create stable bed features post- construction. In-stream structures such as log sills, brush toes, and log vanes will be installed for stability and to improve habitat. Habitat will further be improved through buffer plantings and livestock exclusion. Proposed buffer activities will improve riparian areas that will filter runoff from adjacent pastures, thereby reducing nutrient and sediment loads to the channel. Reach DWI-E - This reach begins on the north end of the Project, from DWI-D and flows north until it drains to the Yadkin River. This reach totals 432 linear feet of Enhancement III. Managed cropland is located adjacent to the reach. Enhancement activities will include improving habitat through livestock exclusion fencing and installing a boulder grade control structure at the top of the reach where DWI - D W1- D enters to prevent further upstream channel erosion during Yadkin River flood events. Reach DW2-A - This reach begins on the southeast end of the Project, and flows west to DW2-B. The totals 968 linear feet of Enhancement I. Sparse woodland and actively managed pasture is located adjacent to the reach. Enhancement activities will include targeted bank stabilization, riparian buffer planting, and installation of livestock exclusion fencing. An existing ford crossing will also be removed. Proposed buffer activities will improve riparian areas that will filter runoff from adjacent pastures, thereby reducing nutrient and sediment loads to the channel. Reach DW2-B - This reach begins at the downstream end of DW2-A, and flows north to the confluence with DWI-A to become DWI-B. This reach totals 277 linear feet of Priority I Restoration. Actively managed pasture is present on both sides of the reach. Restoration activities will include constructing a new channel within the natural valley with appropriate dimensions pattern and backfilling the abandoned channel. Native bed material will be harvested when possible. In-stream structures such as log sills, brush toes, and log vanes will be installed for stability and to improve habitat. Habitat will further be improved through buffer plantings and livestock exclusion. A ford crossing will be installed along this reach (Figure 10). Proposed buffer activities will improve riparian areas that will filter runoff from adjacent pastures, thereby reducing nutrient and sediment loads to the channel. Reach DW3 - This reach begins on the south end of the Project at the adjacent powerline easement, and flows north to DW2-A. This reach totals 93 linear feet of Enhancement 1. Disturbed woodland, intermittently grazed pasture, and a maintained powerline easement is located adjacent to the reach. Enhancement activities will include improving habitat through livestock exclusion fencing, and riparian buffer planting. The livestock exclusion fencing will provide wildlife corridors throughout the Project area and will remove livestock access to the riparian areas. Compass Point Mitigation Plan June 2019 26 Design Discharge Design Discharge Based upon the hydrologic analyses described below, design discharges were selected that fall at or slightly above the 1.1 -year and no greater than the 1.25 -year flood frequency analysis for each reach. The selected flows for the DW -1 restoration reaches are between 40 and 50 ft3/s and between 30-40 ft3/s for DW -2B. These discharges will provide frequent inundation of the adjacent floodplain. The design discharges were selected based on the following rationale: • The calculated bankfull discharge for the analog/reference reach and existing reaches are comparable to the flood frequency analysis, • The results of the 1.1 -year flood frequency analysis are comparable to the discharges calculated from regional curve and • Selecting design discharges near the 1.1 -year storm events allows frequent inundation of the adjacent floodplain. Design Methods There are three primary methods that have demonstrated success in stream restoration: analog, empirical, and analytical. All three methods have advantages and limitations, and it is often best to utilize more than one method to address site-specific conditions or to verify the applicability of design elements. This is particularly true in developed watersheds where existing conditions do not always reflect current inputs and events, and sediment and hydrologic inputs may remain unstable for some time. Combinations of analytical, empirical, and analog methods were used to develop the stream designs for the Project. Analytical Approach Analytical design is based on principles and processes considered universal to all streams and can entail many traditional engineering techniques. The analytical approach utilizes continuity, roughness equations, hydrologic and hydraulic models, and sediment transport functions to derive equilibrium conditions. Since the Project is located within a rural watershed, restoration designs are based on hydrologic and hydraulic analyses, including rainfall -runoff models to determine design discharges coupled with reference reach techniques. Analog Approach The analog method of natural channel design involves the use of a "template" or reference stream located near the design reach and is particularly useful when watershed and boundary conditions are similar between the design and analog reaches (Skidmore et al., 2001). In an analog approach, the pattern, dimension, and profile are used to inform design parameters for the subject stream. Empirical Approach Empirical design is based on regional mathematical relationships among measured channel variables. The flood frequency analysis and regional curve evaluation described above are examples of empirical design methods to select a range of channel forming discharges for a given watershed area. Typical Design Sections Typical cross sections for riffles and pools are shown on the design plan sheets in Appendix A. The cross-section dimensions were developed for the three design reaches by using an in-house spreadsheet described in Section 6.2 of this report. The cross sections were altered slightly to facilitate constructability; however, the cross-sectional area, width to depth ratio, and side slopes were preserved. Typical pool sections include pools located on straight reaches and pools on meander bends. Compass Point Mitigation Plan June 2019 27 Meander Pattern The design plans showing the proposed channel alignment are provided in Appendix A. The meander pattern was derived directly from the analog reach and was altered in some locations to provide variability in pattern, to avoid on site constraints, to follow the valley pattern, and to make the channel more constructible. The morphologic parameters summarized in the Appendix B were applied wherever these deviations occurred. Longitudinal Profiles The design profiles are presented in Appendix A. These profiles extend throughout the entire project for the proposed channel alignment. The profiles were designed using the analog reach bed features as a template for feature lengths and slopes. The bed slopes and bankfull energy gradients were determined for each design reach based on the existing valley slope and the sinuosity of the design reach. Log structures will be utilized in the design to control grade, divert flows, and provide additional habitat diversity and stability. In -Stream Structures Structures will be incorporated into the channel design to provide additional stability and improve aquatic habitat. Native materials and vegetation will be used for revetments and grade control structures where applicable. Additionally, rock structures will be utilized intermittently along the restoration and enhancement reaches to provide increased stability and habitat. Typical rock structures that will protect the channel bed and/or banks will include riffle grade controls and cross -vanes. Woody debris will be placed throughout the channel at locations and at a frequency that is similar to those observed in the analog reaches. Woody habitat features installed will include dead brush, root wads, brush toes, and log vanes. To provide additional bank stability, sod mats harvested on site will be installed along stream banks during construction if and when feasible. Sod mats will only be harvested and used if comprised of appropriate vegetation. The use of sod mats that include aggressive turf grasses will be avoided. Sod mats are natural sections of vegetation taken from the banks when they were cut during construction and are about nine inches thick. Before installation, proposed banks are graded lower than specified to accommodate the thickness of the mat. The mats are placed on top of the bank to act as a natural stabilizer of native species, and they grow much faster than the combination of coir fiber matting and seeding. Other bank stability measures include the installation of live stakes, brush toes, and log vanes. Typical details for proposed in -stream structures and revetments are in Appendix A. Data Analysis Stream Hydrologic Analysis Hydrologic evaluations were performed for the design reaches using multiple methods to determine and validate the design bankfull discharge and channel geometry required to provide regular floodplain inundation. The use of various methods allows for comparison of results and eliminates reliance on a single model. Peak flows (Table 10) and corresponding channel cross sectional areas were determined for comparison to design parameters using the following methods: • Regional Flood Frequency Analysis, • NC and VA Regional Curves Regional Flood Frequence A flood frequency analysis was completed for the study region using historic gauge data on all nearby USGS gauges with drainage areas ranging from 0.3 to 16 mi'. Regional flood frequency equations were Compass Point Mitigation Plan June 2019 28 developed for the 1.1-, 1.25-, and 2 -year peak discharges based on the gauge data. Discharges were then computed for the design reaches. These discharges were compared to those predicted by the discharge regional curve and the reference reach discharges. Regional Curve Regression Equations The North Carolina Piedmont regional curves by Harman et al. (1999) and Doll et al. (2002) and the Maryland/Pennsylvania Rural Piedmont regional curves by White (2001) for discharge were used to predict the bankfull discharge for the Project. The NC regional curves predicted flows are lower but similar to those predicted by the 1.1 -year flood frequency, while the MD/PA curves are much lower flows predicted by the 1.1 -year flood frequency equation. The regional curve discharge equations for are: (1) Qb =89.04*(DA)073 (Harman et al., 1999) (2) Qbk191.62*(DA)0.71 (Doll et al., 2002) (3) Qbkl 43.895*(DA)0.9472 (White, 2001) Where Qbkf=bankfull discharge (ft3/s) and DA=drainage area (mi2).

Typically, sediment transport is assessed to determine a stream's ability to move a specific grain size at specified flows. Various sediment transport equations are applied when estimating entrainment for sand and gravel bed streams found in the Piedmont. The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) report, Stability Thresholds for Stream Restoration Materials (Fochenich, 2001), was used to obtain permissible shear stresses and velocities. Data found in this document was obtained from multiple sources using different testing conditions. The following methods and published documents were utilized during the sediment transport analysis: Permissible Shear Stress Approach, and Permissible Velocity Approach. Shear Stress Approach Shear stress is a commonly used tool for assessing channel stability. Allowable channel shear stresses are a function of bed slope, channel shape, flows, bed material (shape, size, and gradation), cohesiveness of bank materials, vegetative cover, and incoming sediment load. The shear stress approach compares calculated shear stresses to those found in the literature. Shear stress is the force exerted on a boundary during the resistance of motion as calculated using the following formula: Compass Point Mitigation Plan June 2019 29 (1) r=yRS i = shear stress (lb/ft') y = specific gravity of water (62.4 lb/ft') R = hydraulic radius (ft) S = average channel slope (ft/ft) Table 11. Comparison of Allowable and Proposed Shear Stresses I(Fischenich, 2001 Review of the above table shows that the proposed shear stresses for the Compass Point design reaches fall between the critical shear stress (shear stress required to initiate motion) and the allowable limits. Therefore, the proposed channel should remain stable. VelocityApproach Published data are readily available that provide entrainment velocities for different bed and bank materials. A comparison of calculated velocities to these permissible velocities is a simple method to aid in the verification of channel stability. Table 12 compares the proposed velocities calculated using Manning's equation with the permissible velocities. Table 12.

A combination of field reconnaissance and windshield surveys, existing land use data, and historical aerial photography were analyzed to assess existing and past watershed conditions to determine if any changes occurred that would significantly impact sediment supply. As discussed in Section 3.3, the land use throughout the site has changed little since 1950. Much of the Project area has been used primarily for agricultural purposes over the past 60 years. Much of the forested areas are located either within the headwater portions of the watersheds or along existing Compass Point Mitigation Plan June 2019 30 Coarse gravel to DW2-13 0.0425 4.7 2.5-7.5 cobble Coarse gravel to DWl-B 0.0375 4.6 2.5-7.5 cobble Coarse gravel to DW1-C 0.0350 4.3 2.5-7.5 cobble Coarse gravel to DWI -D 0.0400 4.8 2.5-7.5 cobble '(Fischenich, 2001) Sediment Supply In addition to the stability assessment, a qualitative analysis of sediment supply was performed by characterizing watershed conditions. A combination of field reconnaissance and windshield surveys, existing land use data, and historical aerial photography were analyzed to assess existing and past watershed conditions to determine if any changes occurred that would significantly impact sediment supply. As discussed in Section 3.3, the land use throughout the site has changed little since 1950. Much of the Project area has been used primarily for agricultural purposes over the past 60 years. Much of the forested areas are located either within the headwater portions of the watersheds or along existing Compass Point Mitigation Plan June 2019 30 stream channels to the north and to the east. Land use has remained relatively constant within this rural watershed, and significant land disturbing activities are not anticipated for the future. Observations and assessments of these reaches upstream show little signs of aggradation (deposition) or degradation, and that the streams appear physically stable. This indicates the reaches are able to effectively transport the sediment supplied by their respective watersheds. There are several localized areas of instability and erosion along the channels, which appear to be a result of cattle activity and agricultural activities occurring up to and along channel banks and not from watershed activities. It is anticipated that sediment supply from agricultural land adjacent to the project will decrease as buffers are enhanced and widened, and flow from existing agricultural ditches will be diffused before entering the proposed channel. Since little deposition or degradation (scour) was observed along the restoration reaches, it appears that the channels are able to effectively move the sediment supplied from the surrounding watershed. Because observed areas of degradation can be attributed to farming practices adjacent to the channel and not watershed activities, a threshold channel design approach was used. This approach assumes minimal movement (vertical or lateral migration) of the channel boundary during design flow conditions, and that the channel is not sensitive to sediment supply. Additionally, grade controls have been integrated throughout the design to provide vertical stability in the event scour should occur. 6.3 Vegetation and Planting Plan Plant Community Restoration The restoration of the plant communities is an important aspect of the restoration project. The selection of plant species is based on what was observed at a reference reach, species present in the forest surrounding the restoration Project, and what is typically native to the area. Several sources of information were used to determine the most appropriate species for the restoration project. A nearby tributary "UT to Hauser Creek" is used as a vegetation community reference due to close proximity to the Project. The reference stream is located within a disturbed Piedmont Alluvial Forest. On April 3, 2018, two 100m2 plots were surveyed using the same protocol described in Section 3.2. Basal areas for the plots were 12.5m2/ha and 49.6m2/ha and stems per acre was 81 for both plots. Dominant canopy species across the reference reach included sweetgum, tulip -poplar, American beech, pignut hickory, eastern redcedar, green ash, red maple, and boxelder. Sub -canopy species included musclewood, sourwood, and sawtooth blackberry. Herbaceous species included cranefly orchid, Christmas fern, rattlesnake fern, woodsorrel, perfoliate bellwort, partridgeberry, hairy solomon's seal, round leaved greenbrier, strawberry bush, common blue violet, downy yellow violet, bedstraw, white avens, rue anemone, tall hairy agrimony, mayapple, and sedge (Carex sp.). Invasive species were also found within the vegetation survey plots and in the vicinity of the reach, including: multiflora rose, and Japanese honeysuckle. Non-native species included Japanese stiltgrass, common chickweed, buttercup, wooly mullein, and onion grass. A Piedmont Stream Headwater Forest will be the target community type for the top of the Project (Reach DW2-A); and a Piedmont Alluvial Forest will be the target community for the remaining reaches (DWI-A/B/C/CD/E, DW2-B, DW3). These community types will be established to include a diverse mix of species and will be used for the planting areas within the Project shown in Appendix A. The plant species list has been developed and can be found in Table 13. Species with high dispersal rates are not included because of local occurrence, adjacent seed sources, and the high potential for natural regeneration. The high dispersal species include red maple, tulip poplar, and sweetgum. Compass Point Mitigation Plan June 2019 31 The restoration of plant communities along the Project will provide stabilization and diversity. For rapid stabilization of the stream banks (primarily outside meanders), silky dogwood (Cornus amomum) and black willow (Salix nigra) were chosen for live stakes along the restored channel because of their rapid growth patterns and high success rates. Willows grow at a faster rate than the species planted around them, and they stabilize the stream banks. Willows will also be quicker to contribute organic matter to the channel. When the other species are bigger, the black willows will slowly stop growing or die out because the other species would outgrow them and create shade that the willows do not tolerate. The live stake species will be planted along the outside of the meander bends three feet from the top of bank, creating a three-foot section along the top of bank. The live stakes will be spaced one per linear foot with alternate spacing vertically. Compass Point Mitigation Plan June 2019 32 Table 13.

Invasive species will require different and multiple treatment methods, depending on plant phenology and the location of the species being treated. All treatment will be conducted as to maximize its effectiveness and reduce chances of detriment to surrounding native vegetation. Treatment methods will include mechanical (cutting with loppers, clippers, or chain saw) and chemical (foliar spray, cut stump, and hack and squirt techniques). Plants containing mature, viable seeds will be removed from the Project and properly disposed. All herbicide applicators will be supervised by a certified ground pesticide applicator with a North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (NCDA&CS) license and adhere to all legal and safety requirements according to herbicide labels, and NC and Federal laws. Management records will be kept on the plant species treated, type of treatment employed, type of herbicide used, application technique, and herbicide concentration and quantities used. These records will be included in all reporting documents. Soil Restoration After construction activities, the subsoil will be scarified, and any compaction will be deep tilled before the topsoil is placed back over the Project. Any topsoil that is removed during construction will be stockpiled and placed over the Project during final soil preparation. This process should provide favorable soil conditions for plant growth. Rapid establishment of vegetation will provide natural stabilization for the Project. 6.4 Mitigation Summary Natural channel design techniques have been used to develop the restoration designs described in this document. The combination of the analog and analytical design methods was determined to be appropriate for this Project because the watershed is rural, the causes of disturbance are known and have been abated, and there are minimal infrastructure constraints. The original design parameters were Compass Point Mitigation Plan June 2019 33 developed from the measured analog/reference reach data and applied to the subject stream. The parameters were then analyzed and adjusted through an iterative process using analytical tools and numerical simulations of fluvial processes. The designs presented in this report provide for the restoration of natural Piedmont cobble/gravel-bed channel features and stream bed diversity to improve benthic habitat. The proposed design will allow flows that exceed the design bankfull stage to spread out over the floodplain, restoring a portion of the hydrology for the existing wetlands. A large portion of the existing stream will be filled using material excavated from the restoration channel. However, many segments will be left partially filled to provide habitat diversity and flood storage. Native woody material will be installed throughout the restored reach to reduce bank stress, provide grade control, and increase habitat diversity. Forested riparian buffers of at least 50 feet on both sides of the channel will be established along the project reach. An appropriate riparian plant community (Piedmont Stream Headwater Forest along DW2-A, DW3; Piedmont Alluvial Forest along DWI-A/B/C/D/E, DW2-13) will be established to include a diverse mix of species within the Project. The plant species list has been developed and can be found in Table 13. Although there is one planting zone, certain targeted species will be planted in the appropriate target community location. Replanting of native species will occur where the existing buffer is impacted during construction. Due to the nature of the project, complete avoidance of stream and wetland impacts is not possible. Proposed stream impacts, including stream relocation and culverts, will be replaced on site. Wetland impacts associated with restoration and enhancement efforts will only temporarily impact wetlands. Additionally, native trees and shrubs along the stream banks. All stream impacts will be accounted for in the Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) form. 6.5 Determination of Credits Mitigation credits presented in Table 14 are projections based upon site design (Figure 10). Upon completion of site construction, the project components and credits data will only be revised to be consistent with the as -built condition if there is a large discrepancy and with an approved mitigation plan addendum. This will be approved by the USACE. Compass Point Mitigation Plan June 2019 34 Table 14.

Specific success criteria components are presented below. 7.1 Stream Restoration Success Criteria Bankfull Events Four bankfull flow events must be documented within the seven-year monitoring period. The bankfull events must occur in separate years. Otherwise, the stream monitoring will continue until four bankfull events have been documented in separate years. Crest gauges will be installed on DWI -B and DW2- A. Cross Sections There should be little change in as -built cross sections. If changes do take place, they should be evaluated to determine if they represent a movement toward a less stable condition (for example down - cutting or erosion) or are minor changes that represent an increase in stability (for example settling, vegetative changes, deposition along the banks, or decrease in width/depth ratio). Cross sections shall be classified using the Rosgen stream classification method, and all monitored cross sections should fall within the quantitative parameters defined for channels of the design stream type. Bank height ratio shall not exceed 1.2, and the entrenchment ratio shall be no less than 1.4 within restored reaches. The entrenchment ratio shall be no less than 2.2 for all measured riffle cross-sections on a given reach. Channel stability should be demonstrated through a minimum of four bankfull events documented in the seven-year monitoring period. Digital Image Stations Digital images will be used to subjectively evaluate channel aggradation or degradation, bank erosion, success of riparian vegetation, and effectiveness of erosion control measures. Longitudinal images should not indicate the absence of developing bars within the channel or an excessive increase in channel depth. Lateral images should not indicate excessive erosion or continuing degradation of the banks over time. A series of images over time should indicate successional maturation of riparian vegetation. Surface Flow Stream restoration reaches will be monitored to document intermittent or seasonal surface flow. This will be accomplished through direct observation and the use of stream gauge transducers with data loggers. One flow gauge will be installed on DWI -A. 7.2 Vegetation Success Criteria Specific and measurable success criteria for plant density within the riparian buffers on the Project will follow IRT Guidance. The interim measures of vegetative success for the Project will be the survival of at least 320 planted three-year old trees per acre at the end of Year 3, at least 260 planted five-year old trees at seven feet in height at the end of Year 5, and the final vegetative success criteria will be 210 trees per acre with an average height of ten feet at the end of Year 7. Volunteer trees will be counted, identified to species, and included in the yearly monitoring reports, but will not be counted towards the success criteria of total planted stems. Moreover, any single species can only account for up to 50 percent of the required number of stems within any vegetation plot. Any stems in excess of 50 percent will be shown in the monitoring table but will not be used to demonstrate success. Compass Point Mitigation Plan June 2019 36 8 MONITORING PLAN Annual monitoring data will be reported using the NCIRT monitoring template. The monitoring report shall provide a project data chronology that will facilitate an understanding of project status and trends, research purposes, and assist in decision making regarding project close-out. Monitoring reports will be prepared annually and submitted to the USACE. Monitoring of the Project will adhere to metrics and performance standards established by the USACE's April 2003 Wilmington District Stream Mitigation Guidelines and the NC IRT's October 2016 Wilmington District Stream and Wetland Compensatory Mitigation Update. Table 15 outlines the links between project goals, objectives, and treatments and their associated monitoring metrics and performance standards within the context of functional uplift based on the Stream Functions Pyramid Framework. 8.1 As -Built Survey An as -built survey will be conducted following construction to document channel size, condition, and location. The survey will include a complete profile of thalweg, water surface, bankfull, and top of bank to compare with future geomorphic data. Longitudinal profiles will not be required in annual monitoring reports unless requested by USACE. Stream channel stationing will be marked with stakes placed near the top of bank every 200 feet. 8.2 Visual Monitoring Visual monitoring of all mitigation areas will be conducted a minimum of twice per monitoring year by qualified individuals. The visual assessments will include vegetation density, vigor, invasive species, and easement encroachments. Visual assessments of stream stability will include a complete streamwalk and structure inspection. Digital images will be taken at fixed representative locations to record each monitoring event, as well as any noted problem areas or areas of concern. Results of visual monitoring will be presented in a plan view exhibit with a brief description of problem areas and digital images. Photographs will be used to subjectively evaluate channel aggradation or degradation, bank erosion, success of riparian vegetation, and effectiveness of erosion control measures. Longitudinal photos should indicate the absence of developing bars within the channel or an excessive increase in channel depth. Lateral photos should not indicate excessive erosion or continuing degradation of the banks over time. A series of photos over time should indicate successional maturation of riparian vegetation. 8.3 Hydrology Events Crest gauges will be installed to document to occurrence of bankfull events. A minimum of one gauge will be installed on each tributary that is greater than 1,000 feet in length, with one gauge required for every 5,000 feet of length on each tributary and a maximum of five gauges per tributary. Reaches with Priority 1 Restoration (designed to reconnect the stream to its floodplain), gauges will be capable of tracking the frequency and duration of overbank events. Where restoration or enhancement activities are proposed for intermittent streams, monitoring gauges should be installed to track the frequency and duration of stream flow events. 8.4 Cross Sections Permanent cross sections will be installed at a minimum of one per 20 bankfull widths with half in pools and half in riffle on all Restoration and Enhancement I reaches. All cross-section measurements will include bank height ratio and entrenchment ratio. Cross sections will be monitored in Years 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7. There should be little change in as -built cross sections. If changes do take place, they should be evaluated to determine if they represent movement toward a less stable condition (for example down - Compass Point Mitigation Plan June 2019 37 cutting or erosion), or are minor changes that represent an increase in stability (for example settling, vegetative changes, deposition along the banks, or decrease in width/depth ratio). 8.5 Vegetation Monitoring Vegetation monitoring plots will be a minimum of 0.02 acres in size and cover a minimum of two percent of the planted area. There will be eleven plots within the planted area (12.92 acres). Plots will be a mixture of fixed and random plots, with eight fixed plots and three random plots. Planted area indicates all area in the easement that will be planted with trees. Existing wooded areas are not included in the planted area. The following data will be recorded for all trees in the fixed plots: species, height, planting date (or volunteer), and grid location. For random plots, species and height will be recorded for all woody stems. The location (GPS coordinates and orientation) of the random plots will be identified in the annual monitoring reports. Vegetation will be planted and plots established at least 180 days prior to the initiation of the first year of monitoring. Monitoring will occur in Years 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 between July 1 st and leaf drop. Invasive and noxious species will be monitored so that none become dominant or alter the desired community structure of the Project. If necessary, RES will develop a species-specific treatment plan. 8.6 Scheduling/Reporting A baseline monitoring report and as -built drawings documenting stream restoration activities will be developed within 60 days of the planting completion on the Project. The report will include all information required by IRT mitigation plan guidelines, including elevations, photographs and sampling plot locations, gauge locations, and a description of initial species composition by community type. The report will also include a list of the species planted and the associated densities. Baseline vegetation monitoring will include species, height, date of planting, and grid location of each stem. The baseline report will follow USACE guidelines. The monitoring program will be implemented to document system development and progress toward achieving the success criteria. The restored stream morphology will be assessed to determine the success of the mitigation. The monitoring program will be undertaken for seven years or until the final success criteria are achieved, whichever is longer. Monitoring reports will be prepared in the fall of each year of monitoring and submitted to the IRT. The monitoring reports will include all information and be in the format required by USACE.

Project maintenance will be performed as described previously in this document. If, during the course of annual monitoring, it is determined that the Project's ability to achieve performance standards are jeopardized, RES will notify the USACE of the need to develop a Plan of Corrective Action. Once the Corrective Action Plan is prepared and finalized RES will: 1. Notify the USACE as required by the Nationwide 27 permit general conditions. 2. Revise performance standards, maintenance requirements, and monitoring requirements as necessary and/or required by the USACE. 3. Obtain other permits as necessary. 4. Prepare Corrective Action Plan for review and approval by IRT. 5. Implement the Corrective Action Plan. Provide the IRT a Record Drawing of Corrective Actions. This document shall depict the extent and nature of the work performed. Compass Point Mitigation Plan June 2019 40 10 LONG-TERM MANAGEMENT PLAN Upon approval of the Project by the IRT, the Project will be transferred to Unique Places to Save (UP2S): Unique Places to Save (585) 472-9498 PO Box 1183 Chapel Hill, NC 27514 info@uniqueplacestosave.org UP2S will be responsible for periodic inspection of the site to ensure that restrictions required in the Conservation Easement or the deed restriction document(s) are upheld. Easements will be stewarded in general accordance with the guidelines published by the National Land Trust Alliance. Specific responsibilities include: • Monitoring of site is conducted on an annual basis. • An on-site inspection is conducted once per year. • Visits to the site are coordinated with landowner when possible. • Annual monitoring reports are sent to the landowner when possible. • Signage for the easement boundary is maintained. • Violations and potential violations of the conservation easement deed are promptly communicated to the landowner. A model conservation easement and engagement letter from UP2S are included in Appendix C. The engagement letter includes itemized annual cost accounting of long-term management, total amount of funding, and the manner in which the funding will be provided. Compass Point Mitigation Plan June 2019 41 11 CREDIT RELEASE SCHEDULE All credit releases will be based on the total credit generated as reported in the approved mitigation plan of the site. Under no circumstances shall any mitigation project be debited until the necessary DA authorization has been received for its construction or the District Engineer (DE) has otherwise provided written approval for the project in the case where no DA authorization is required for construction of the mitigation project. The DE, in consultation with the IRT, will determine if performance standards have been satisfied sufficiently to meet the requirements of the release schedules below. In cases where some performance standards have not been met, credits may still be released depending on the specifics of the case. Monitoring may be required to restart or be extended, depending on the extent to which the site fails to meet the specified performance standard. The release of Project credits will be subject to the criteria described in Table 16. 11.1 Initial Allocation of Released Credits The initial allocation of released credits, as specified in the mitigation plan can be released by the IRT with written approval of the DE upon satisfactory completion of the following activities: a) Execution of the UMBI by the Sponsor and the USACE; b) Approval of the final mitigation plan; c) Mitigation site must be secured; d) Delivery of financial assurances; e) Recordation of the long-term protection mechanism and title opinion acceptable to the USACE; f) Issuance of the 404 -permit verification for construction of the site, if required. 11.2 Subsequent Credit Releases The second credit release will occur after the completion of implementation of the Mitigation Plan and IRT approval of the Baseline Monitoring Report and As -built Survey. All subsequent credit releases must be approved by the DE, in consultation with the IRT, based on a determination that required performance standards have been achieved. As projects approach milestones associated with credit release, the Sponsor will submit a request for credit release to the DE along with documentation substantiating achievement of criteria required for release to occur. This documentation will be included with the annual monitoring report. Table 16.

Compass Point Mitigation Plan June 2019 43 12 MAINTENANCE PLAN The Project will be monitored on a regular basis and a physical inspection will be conducted a minimum of once per year throughout the post construction monitoring period until performance standards are met. These site inspections may identify site components and features that require routine maintenance. Routine maintenance should be expected most often in the first two years following site construction and may include the following: Table 17. Maintenance Plan Component/Feature Maintenance through project close-out Stream Routine channel maintenance and repair activities may include chinking of in -stream structures to prevent piping, securing of loose coir matting, and supplemental installations of live stakes and other target vegetation along the channel. Areas where stormwater and floodplain flows intercept the channel may also require maintenance to prevent bank failures and head -cutting. Stream maintenance activities will be documented and reported in annual monitoring reports. Stream maintenance will continue through the monitoring eriod. Vegetation Vegetation shall be maintained to ensure the health and vigor of the targeted plant community. Routine vegetation maintenance and repair activities may include supplemental planting, pruning, mulching, and fertilizing. Exotic invasive plant species shall be treated by mechanical and/or chemical methods. Any vegetation control requiring herbicide application will be performed in accordance with NC Department of Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations. Vegetation maintenance activities will be documented and reported in annual monitoring reports. Vegetation maintenance will continue through the monitoring period. Site Boundary Site boundaries shall be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between the mitigation site and adjacent properties. Boundaries will be marked with signs identifying the property as a mitigation site and will include the name of the long-term steward and a contact number. Boundaries may be identified by fence, marker, bollard, post, tree -blazing, or other means as allowed by site conditions and/or conservation easement. Boundary markers disturbed, damaged, or destroyed will be repaired and/or replaced on an as -needed basis. Easement monitoring and staking/signage maintenance will continue in perpetuity as a stewardship activity. Road Crossing Road crossings within the site may be maintained only as allowed by Conservation Easement or existing easement, deed restrictions, rights of way, or corridor agreements. Crossings in easement breaks are the responsibility of the landowner to maintain. Livestock Fencing Livestock fencing is to be placed outside the easement limits. Maintenance of fencing is the responsibility of the landowner. Beaver Routine site visits and monitoring will be used to determine if beaver management is needed. If beaver activity poses a threat to project stability or vegetative success, RES will trap beavers and remove impoundments as needed. All beaver management activities will be documented and included in annual monitoring reports. Beaver monitoring and management will continue through the monitoring period. Compass Point Mitigation Plan June 2019 44 13 FINANCIAL ASSURANCES CONFIDENTIAL The Sponsor will provide financial assurances in the form of a $609,000 Construction Performance Bond to the USACE to assure completion of mitigation construction and planting. Construction and planting costs are estimated to be at or below $609,000 based on the Engineer's construction materials estimate and recent bid tabulation unit costs for construction materials. Following completion of construction and planting the Construction Performance Bond will be retired and a $156,479 Monitoring Performance Bond will be provided to assure completion of seven years of monitoring and reporting, and any remedial work required during the monitoring period. The $156,479 amount includes contingency and estimated monitoring costs from the Engineer. The Monitoring Performance Bond will be reduced by $22,354 following approval of each annual monitoring report. The Monitoring Performance Bond will be retired in total following official notice of site close-out from the IRT. Financial assurances shall be payable to a standby trust or other designee at the direction of the obligee. Financial assurances structured to provide funds to the USACE in the event of default by the Bank Sponsor are not acceptable. A financial assurance must be in the form that ensures that the USACE receives notification at least 120 days in advance of any termination or revocation. The Performance Bonds will be provided by a surety listed with the U.S. Treasury and has an A.M. Best Rating of B or above. All Performance Bonds will be submitted to the USACE in draft form for approval prior to execution. In the event of Sponsor default, UP2S has agreed to receive the funds and ensure the work is successfully completed. Table 18.

Each plot is a 5m X 20m belt transect, positioned parallel to the channel in the floodplain or adjacent upland. Take a GPS point at the origin and set the bounds with 5m as the "x-axis" and 20m as the "y-axis." Set the plot with the y-axis as the side parallel to the stream channel. Record the y-axis azimuth to allow for future resampling. Conclude selection and set-up with a representative photo of the plot taken from the origin. Data Collection Identify each plant in the plot to the species level. Sort and measure tree species by height class and diameter at breast height (DBH). Count seedlings <54in (137cm) in height into height categories 0-9cm, 10-50cm, 51-100cm, or 101-137cm. Count saplings >54in (137cm) in height into DBH categories 0-lcm, 1-2.5cm, 2.5-5cm, or 5-12.7cm. Measure the DBH of all trees >5in (12.7cm) DBH. Shrubs, vines, and herbaceous taxa receive an estimation of their percent cover over the substrate within the plot. If the personnel are unable to identify to the species level, collect voucher photos and/or specimen(s) for later identification. Record these on the data sheet as UNK-1, UNK-2, etc. Data Processing Begin processing collected data by identifying the unknown species observed from voucher photos and specimen(s) collected. When species present are sufficiently identified, use the dominant canopy species assemblages and ecological region to identify a habitat type from Schafale (2012). Calculate both basal area and stems per acre for each plot surveyed using the formulas below. These metrics help to inform the existing conditions of the canopy on-site and inform the development of the project's planting plan.

Unique Places To Save Unique Places To Save Stewardship Monitoring Procedures and Guidelines Unique Places To Save (UP2Save) is dedicated to upholding and defending the conservation values of the easements it holds. An important aspect of achieving this is to conduct our stewardship monitoring practices in a professional, accurate, and efficient manner. The following procedures and guidelines will help ensure that staff will have the guidance and expertise to properly monitor UP2Save's conservation easements. UP2Save's stewardship monitoring procedures and guidelines are separated into three stages: (1) pre -monitoring due diligence; (2) monitoring of the easement property; and (3) post -monitoring due diligence. Each stage in the monitoring process is crucial in employing sound monitoring practices and creating accurate and reliable documentation. Pre -monitoring Due Diligence: Pre -monitoring due diligence includes components that prepare the monitor for the impending field work and documentation of their stewardship activities. The following procedures shall be followed prior to all conservation easement monitoring visits: 1. Contact the landowner to schedule a monitoring visit at least one to two weeks prior to the scheduled visit either by phone, email, or letter (make an effort to group monitoring visits to multiple easements in the same general area in one trip). 2. Make an effort to invite the landowner to be involved in the monitoring process. Usually having the landowner available for questions or discussion of issues before and after monitoring is fine. It is not necessary that the landowner accompany the monitor around the property unless the landowner prefers to do SO. 3. If unknown, acquire any information needed to access the property (e.g. lock combinations, gate locations, road/trail locations, contact information for land managers and neighboring landowners). 4. A few days prior to the monitoring visit, make an effort to contact the landowner to confirm the monitoring date. 5. Prior to the monitoring date, review the conservation easement deed, baseline documentation report, most recent monitoring report, and any other pertinent information (e.g. landowner correspondence, older monitoring reports). 6. Create a monitoring map of the property using aerial imagery or a topo map as the base layer. Ensure that the property boundary is clearly depicted on the map as well as any building envelopes or other important boundaries or landscape features (e.g. stream buffers, forest management plots, property points of access). 7. Enter the property boundary and BDR photopoint locations (if available) into a GPS unit for field reference. 8. Inform at least two staff members of your schedule and destination(s). Have an emergency contact phone number available at the office. 9. Monitoring material that is needed on the monitoring visit includes: a. Stewardship Binder b. Monitoring map c. GPS unit (with extra batteries) d. Compass e. Camera (with extra batteries) f. Notepad 10. Prepare for your field work. Bring necessary field equipment to conduct a safe and effective monitoring visit. Field equipment should include: Required a. Sunscreen b. Extra water c. Extra clothing d. Extra food e. Extra cash f. Topo map of greater area g. First Aid/Survival Kit h. Blanket(s) i. Shovel j. Spare tire(s) k. Cell phone 1. Flares in. Bolt cutters n. Crowbar Optional a. Tent b. Sleeping bag c. Firearm(s) d. Stove e. Laptop computer f. Bear spray Approximate pre -monitoring due diligence completion time: 3 hours Monitoring of the Easement Property The field portion of the monitoring effort should be interpreted as (1) an opportunity to maintain and improve relations with landowners and/or landowner representatives; (2) a small-scale duplication effort of the baseline documentation report; (3) an opportunity to enhance, alter, or correct any deficiencies or errors in past monitoring efforts; and (4) a check on the activities within and conditions of the property under easement. The following procedures and guidelines will help ensure the efficiency, accuracy, and safety of a monitoring visit: 1. The monitor should have a clear strategy of how the property will be monitored prior to the site visit. 2. Meet with the landowner if possible prior to engaging in field work. Ask about land management activities (past, present or future), activities on adjacent lands, and any other issues related to the terms of the conservation easement. 3. Invite the landowner to accompany the monitor in the field. This is not necessary, but it is polite to ask. 4. Enact the monitoring strategy laid out prior to the visit using all tools available (e.g. GPS, compass, maps, photos). 5. Use GPS to track the monitoring route and take coordinates of photopoint locations. Use the compass to take azimuth readings at the photopoint locations (direction photo was taken). All photopoint coordinates must be taken in UTM coordinates, Zone 13. All azimuth reading must be taken using the 3 -digit method (0 to 360°) to decrease ambiguity as opposed to using quadrants. For example, recording a bearing of 192° is much clearer than 12° W of S, or S12°W. 6. Walk or drive as much of the property as possible making an effort to visit all access points, boundary lines, and property corners. Pay special attention to building envelope areas and other areas that may have more restrictive covenants (e.g. stream corridors, no - timbering zones, high quality habitat areas). 7. Duplicate the photopoint locations that are depicted in the BDR. If new photopoint locations are required; develop the new photopoint locations based upon current landscape conditions and activities. Document these new locations in the monitoring report and make notes that future monitoring efforts should follow the new photopoint format. Note: the original photopoints portrayed in the BDR must always be replicated unless the BDR is amended to not include certain photopoint locations. 8. TAKE FIELD NOTES! Do not rely on memory to complete the monitoring report. 9. Make an effort to meet with the landowner after the field visit to discuss any minor, non - violation issues or other observations made while conducting the field visit. Do not, under any circumstances, discuss potential minor or major violations to the conservation easement with the landowner. UP2Save has specific procedures to follow when addressing potential violations (see UP2Save's Conservation Easement Violations Policy). Approximate monitoring completion time: 4-16 hours depending upon driving time and size/complexity of property. Post -monitoring Due Diligence: - Post -monitoring due diligence primarily consists of developing documentation of the monitoring visit. This documentation consists of - 1 . £ 1. Filling out the monitoring report 2. Creating a monitoring map including the photopoints, access points, monitoring track, and any other points of interest. 3. Writing a letter to the landowner that summarizes the monitoring visit and also states that the landowner is in compliance with the terms of the conservation easement. If the landowner is not in compliance with the terms of the conservation easement, then staff will follow the UP2Save's Conservation Easement Violations Policy. 4. Properly duplicate the monitoring report and file all copies according to the UP2Save's Stewardship Records Management Policy. Mail the signed monitoring report and compliance letter to the landowner and any representatives listed in the baseline or that have received monitoring reports in the past. Schedule the next monitoring visit based upon observations in the field and seasonal access to the property. Approximate completion time: 3 hours RECORDING REQUESTED BY AND WHEN RECORDED MAIL TO: SPACE ABOVE THIS LINE FOR RECORDER'S USE PERMANENT CONSERVATION EASEMENT THIS CONSERVATION EASEMENT ("Conservation Easement") made this day of , 201_ by and between ("Grantor") and ("Grantee").

Boonville, NC 27011 Telephone Number: Size (acres): 14 Nearest Town Boonville Nearest Waterway: UT to Yadkin River Coordinates: 36.269624.4013914.995077 River Basin/ HUC: Upper Pee Dee Location description: The site is located at 4650 Pulliam Rd. in Boonville. NC, Indicate Which of the Following ADDIv: A. Preliminary Determination 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 (RHA) (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 preliminaryjurisdiction 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 Clem 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 C WA/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 you 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 Sermon 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWAX33 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 daze of this notification. _ There are waters of the U.S. including wetlands on the above described property subject to the permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344).

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 you 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. X 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 dare of this notification. X 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 to determine their requirements. Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US and/or 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 William Elliott at 828-271-7980, ext 4225 or amanda.jones@usace.army.mil. C. Basis for Determination: See attached preliminaryjmisdictional determination form. The site contains wetlands as determined by the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual and the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual: Eastern Mountain and Piedmont Region (version 2.0). These wetlands are adjacent to stream channels located on the property that exhibit indicators of ordinary high water marks. D. Remarks: The potential waters of the U.S., at this site, were verified on-site by the Corps on 1/24/2018 and are as approximately depicted on the attached Potential Wetland/Waters Map (dated 1129/2017) E. Attention USDA Program Participants This delineation/deternination 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.

The Corps of Engineers believes that there may bcjurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, and the requester of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option to request and obtain an approved JD (AID) for that review area based on an informed decision after having discussed the various types of IDs and their characteristics and circumstances when they may be appropriate. 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 AID for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware than (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an official determination of jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the option to request an AJD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an AID could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) 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) 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) undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting an AJD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the PJD; (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 PJD constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the review area affected in any way by that activity will be treated asjurisdictional, and waives any challenge to such jurisdiction in any administrative orjudicial compliance or enforcement action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether the applicant elects to use either an AID or a PJD, the JD will be processed as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, 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. If, during an administrative appeal, it becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographicjurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official delineation ofjurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will provide an AID to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable.

These site inspections may identify the presence of invasive vegetation. RES will treat invasive species vegetation within the project area and provide remedial action on a case-by-case basis. Common invasive species vegetation, such as Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora), tree -of -heaven (Ailanthus altissima), and Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), will be treated to allow native plants to become established within the conservation easement. Invasive species vegetation will be treated by approved mechanical and/or chemical methods such that the percent composition of exotic/invasive species is less than 5% of the total riparian buffer area. Any control methods requiring herbicide application will be performed in accordance with NC Department of Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations. If areas of invasive species exist within the easement, they will be monitored yearly as part of the monitoring protocol, and treated if necessary. If required, problem areas will continue to be treated until the project easement shows overall trending towards meeting all monitoring requirements.

The purpose of this notice was to solicit the views of interested State and Federal agencies and other parties either interested in or affected by the proposed work. In addition, the Corps and members of the Interagency Review Team (IRT) conducted field reviews of the proposed mitigation sites on October 16 - 18, 2017. Attached are comments received in response to the public notice from the North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission, and a field visit memo incorporating comments from the attending IRT members. The Corps has reviewed the information provided and considered the comments received in response to the public notice and the field site visits. We have determined that the proposed mitigation bank appears to have the potential to restore and protect aquatic resources within the Upper Yadkin 8 -digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03040101 of the Yadkin River Basin. Therefore, the bank sponsor may proceed with preparation of a draft Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI). We appreciate your interest in restoring and protecting waters of the United States. If you have questions concerning the path forward for the proposed mitigation bank, please do not hesitate to contact me at (919) 554-4884 extension 59.

NCWRC staff attended site visits with regulatory agency staff October 16-18. The prospectus proposes stream restoration, enhancement, and preservation on over 29,800 feet of stream to net over 18,000 SMUs in the Yadkin River Basin (03040101). The bank includes five sites, and general comments on each site follow: • Gideon Site. Located on a 76 -acre parcel and sandwiched between two Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) sites, this agricultural site will involve restoration, enhancement, and preservation on 4,092 ft of Mill Creek and unnamed tributaries (UTs) to Mill Creek, netting 2,664 SMUs. The site is less than a mile upstream of the Mitchell River, which serves as habitat for Brook Floater (Alasmidonta varicosa, US Federal Species of Concern, NC Endangered). Excellent erosion and sediment control is especially important at both this site and the adjacent DMS sites to minimize impacts to this mussel. • Compass Point Site. This site is located on a 209 -acre parcel in agricultural and forestry uses. It was recently logged. The project will involve restoration and enhancement on 5,024 ft of UTs to the Yadkin River, netting 3,709 SMUs. The downstream end of the site is at the confluence with the Yadkin River, and protection and enhancement of riparian habitat at this location is especially ecologically beneficial, as it will provide a wildlife corridor that is connected to the Yadkin River. We recommend that the landowner expand the forested riparian area along the Yadkin River, as well.

Green Mesa. This site is on a 273 -acre parcel in agricultural use, and project activities include restoration, enhancement, and preservation on 7,776 ft of UTs to North Deep Creek, netting 3,531 SMUs. The old dam structure downstream of the present dam may serve as bat habitat, and NCWRC biologists may perform bat surveys there in 2018. Twiman. This site is comprised of 10 parcels totaling 266 acres in agricultural use, and project activities include restoration, enhancement, and preservation on 10,477 ft of UTs to North Deep Creek, netting 5,766 SMUs. Scout. This site is on two parcels totaling 522 acres in agricultural use, and project activities include restoration on 2,467 ft of Hauser Creek, netting 2,467 SMUs. Detailed comments on the mitigation approach are captured in RES staff's October 16-18 site visit summary. NCWRC staff has reviewed this summary and has provided comments on it in a separate email.

While each project could be developed independently of the other, the combined easements will result in a much larger contiguous protected corridor and high- quality aquatic habitat. WRC mentioned that there are known occurrences of the brook floater (Alasmidonta varicosa) in the Mitchell River, approximately 0.5 miles downstream of the project area which RES mentioned in the Prospectus. Connecting the Gideon and Little Sebastian Sites offer opportunities to create and protect habitat for the State protected species. IRT members agreed the Gideon site is acceptable for compensatory mitigation, and final credit ratios will be determined in the Approved Mitigation Plan. Reach specific comments are below. • DWR requested that RES determine the potential wetlands on site. RES is currently delineating the site. • MC3-A: Group agreed to restoration at 1:1 ratio as originally proposed in prospectus. RES explained that cows have full access and the landowner has historically moved the channel. RES affirmed that construction sequencing would harvest native bed material when possible (e.g. cobble). The crossing will be a culvert. • JN5 — Group thought that Enhancement I at a 1.5:1 ratio would be more appropriate approach for this reach instead of Enhancement II. Enhancement measures will include grading banks, installing grade control structures (including at the tie-in with MC3-A), planting the buffer, and cattle exclusion. • JN4 — Similar to JN5, the Group thought that Enhancement I at a 1.5:1 ratio would be a more appropriate approach for below the crossing. Enhancement measures will include removing pipe in old channel, fixing current culvert, grading banks, installing grade control structures, planting the buffer, and cattle exclusion. Enhancement III at a 5:1 ratio is the approach for above the crossing and includes cattle exclusion and light supplemental planting. • MC3-B: RES originally proposed Enhancement II at 2.5:1, but the Group agreed to change the approach to Enhancement III at 5:1 ratio because of channel condition and cattle access. Enhancement measures will include planting the buffer on the left bank and cattle exclusion. • JN6-C — RES originally proposed restoration on this reach and Group agreed to that approach. However, proposed alignment and restoration approach will need to be dictated by topographic survey data. RES is in process of data collection, including delineating slough feature. WRC suggested fencing slough area if not in alignment of proposed restoration area. Barns will likely be removed and the culvert at the driveway will be reset to improve hydrologic connection to JN6-B. WRC Comment: At the break between JN6-B & JN6-A, there is an old road that is eroding. RES agreed to stabilize this road. • JN6-B — RES originally proposed Enhancement II on this reach. DWR did not agree to 2.5:1 ratio due to buffer being intact, but does agree this reach should be part of the overall project. The consensus was Enhancement III at a 5:1 ratio with an approach of removing the crossing and cattle exclusion. • JN6-A — RES originally proposed preservation on this reach. Group agreed to including this top part of the reach as preservation. The JD will determine the limits. Compass Point Site —10/16/17 IRT members agreed the Compass Point site is acceptable for compensatory mitigation, and final credit ratios will be determined in the Approved Mitigation Plan. Reach specific comments are below. • DW6: RES originally proposed Enhancement II at 2.5:1 ratio. WRC and DWR recommended more of an Enhancement I approach (ranging from a 1.5 to 2 ratio), which would include bank work (spot stabilization), riparian buffer planting, and livestock exclusion. • DW1-A: RES originally proposed restoration at 1:1 ratio and Group agreed, with the exception being the upstream most portion that ties into DW6. Group agreed that a mix of Enhancement I and II would be best approach on the first 250 feet of DWI -A. • DW2: Group agreed to Enhancement II at 2.5:1 ratio as originally proposed in prospectus. RES confirmed that cows have access. Enhancement measures will include planting the riparian buffer and cattle exclusion. DWR and RES agreed to installing a stream gauge midway on the reach to monitor hydrology. • DW1-B: RES originally proposed Enhancement II at 2.5:1 ratio. Group discussed Enhancement I at a 1.5:1 ratio with enhancement measures including a combination of bed and bank work, complete riparian buffer planting, and cattle exclusion. DWR Comment: there was some discussion of E1, however, if that ratio is proposed vs the E2, then the work needs to be justified in the mit plan. For the reach DWI -D, DWR believes while it is a benefit to have a corridor connect to the Yadkin River, however, the ratio that is appropriate would be no better than 7.5:1. USACE Comment: This will transition from restoration in DWI -A at bedrock point. Buffered on one side, some areas do need bank shaping. EII only if the banks are addressed. The existing road may cause the buffer to be pinched to less than 50' at the end of the reach. • DW1-C: RES originally proposed restoration at 1:1 ratio. This reach has patches of high quality bed material including cobble and bedrock. Group agreed a Priority II Restoration approach, including benching to aid in floodplain connectivity, would be the best measure. • DW1-D — RES originally proposed Enhancement III at a 5:1 ratio on this reach. WRC wants to see this reach protected and included in the project. DWR and USACE recommended a 7.5:1 ratio. The approach will be cattle exclusion and installing a boulder grade control structure below the limits of restoration on DWI -C. WRC Comment: We support the protection and riparian buffer enhancement of this reach, which would protect a riparian corridor that would connect the Yadkin River to the site. Green Mesa Site —10/17/17 Overall the site has clear potential for functional uplift, but there are a few notable constraints including powerline easement and a large pond that will remain (landowner will not allow pond to be part of project). Because the pond will remain in place, RES and USACE discussed potentially retrofitting the riser structure to include a bottom pond drain to release cooler water. IRT members agreed the Green Mesa site is acceptable for compensatory mitigation, and final credit ratios will be determined in the Approved Mitigation Plan. Reach specific comments are below. • FF4 and FFI-D: RES originally proposed restoration at a 1:1 ratio. The approach is a mix of Priority I and II restoration with potential for enhancement level I above the powerline based on bedrock in the channel. USACE said clearly justify rationale for restoration measures. • FF 1-C: RES originally proposed enhancement II at a 2.5:1 ratio. DWR and USACE stated if channel was left in place and enhancement II approach was taken that it was likely for no credit to be given due to powerline and lack of buffer near the road. Group discussed starting restoration immediately below Baptist Church Road and RES agreed this was best option if feasible. WRC Comment: There was discussion of raising the bed elevation to lessen the DOT culvert perch. The discussion on lower FFI-C being too close to the road also applies to upper FFI-D. Turning the channel into the field upstream of where it turns now could allow R credit for both. • FF1-C (below pond): RES originally proposed enhancement II at a 2.5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle exclusion, buffer planting, and tying into the restoration area. There is a large stone wall in this reach with a culvert that might need to be retrofitted (if possible). Group agreed the best approach is probably to leave the wall in place and credit the enhancement at 3:1. USACE Comment: I agree with your summary for both areas above and below the pond. It's recommended that SHPO review this area (and the area where the other historic wall is in the buffer in FF1-A). • FF5: RES originally proposed enhancement III at a 5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle exclusion, invasive species treatment, and supplemental planting on right bank. DWR stated there is no cattle pressure and there is decent buffer on the banks, but invasives are problematic (high density of privet). WRC would like some of the black walnut removed and those areas replanted with a more diverse mix of native hardwood vegetation. USACE and DWR suggested a ratio of 7.5:1; however, if buffer planting and easement was extended to at least 100 feet a higher ratio could be approved. • FF3-A: RES originally proposed enhancement II at a 2.5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle exclusion and buffer planting. During the site visit RES suggested enhancement I at a 1.5:1 ratio with an added measure of bank stabilization to reduce shear stress and in - channel erosion. WRC agreed to rationale for enhancement I approach, but DWR stated that there isn't much work needed on this reach and a ratio of 5:1 is likely most appropriate (see FF3-B below). DWR Comment: I had FF3A and B combined at a ratio of 7.5:1. WRC Comment: We did not agree with the E1 approach, as this reach has a stellar riparian forest; definitely agree on an E3 approach here, as light tough is needed and riparian area is too nice to justify getting heavy equipment to address channel erosion. USACE Comment: Widening the buffer and invasives control are necessary here. My notes indicate a ratio of 5-7:5:1, depending on justification of functional uplift. The historic house in the buffer should be addressed. • FF3-B: RES originally proposed enhancement III at a 5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle exclusion and light supplemental planting. IRT suggested combining FF3-A and FF3-B into one reach and having the entire crediting approach be enhancement III at a 5:1 ratio. This area might be generating wetlands that RES would not be claiming credit. RES is currently delineating the site. DWR Comment: I had FF3A and B combined at a ratio of 7.5:1. USACE Comment: Widening the buffer and invasives control are necessary here. My notes indicate a ratio of 5-7:5:1, depending on justification of functional uplift, especially considering these enter the pond. A narrative of historical farming practices would be beneficial. • FF1-B: RES originally proposed enhancement III at a 5:1 ratio and Group agreed and stated to justify the uplift in the mitigation plan. WRC Comment: There is evidence of beaver here. • FF2: RES originally proposed preservation and Group agreed to a 7.5:1 ratio with an approach of fencing where needed. DWR Comment: DWR could go with 7.5:1 on the preservation (FF2) but would like to see the reach extended above the crossing at the top and fenced out. WRC Comment: There was a discussion on preserving a little more above the fence line and whether the old road would be planted/fenced. There was a question on the location of the property line and end of preservation. USACE Comment: Channel in good condition, USACE feels preservation at 10:1 is appropriate. The discussion of 7.5:1 would be entertained if the upstream portion excluded cattle, as well. • FF 1-A: RES originally proposed enhancement II at a 2.5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle exclusion and buffer planting. While there might be some opportunities for bank work, the group agreed that the enhancement II approach was best based on the amount of bedrock in this reach. Twiman Site —10/17/17 IRT members agreed the Twiman site is acceptable for compensatory mitigation, and final credit ratios will be determined in the Approved Mitigation Plan. Reach specific comments are below. • TC2-A: RES originally proposed Enhancement I at 1.5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle exclusion, buffer planting, and bank stabilization. Group agreed to this approach. • TC2-B: RES originally proposed restoration at 1:1 ratio. Group generally agreed with this approach, but did note there is a section of potential enhancement I below the pond. Upon further data collection/analysis, RES will determine the best approach for this section of TC2-13. WRC Comment: The group discussed establishing the break between EI and R at the bedrock nickpoint. • TC1-A: RES originally proposed restoration at 1:1 ratio. Group agreed to this approach. • TC3-A: RES originally proposed Enhancement II at 2.5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle exclusion, buffer planting, invasive species treatment and spot stabilization. Group agreed to this approach with a ratio ranging from 2.5 to 3 to be justified in the mitigation plan. • TC1-B: RES originally proposed Enhancement III at 5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle exclusion and buffer planting. IRT suggested restoration as the approach. RES is open to examining restoration along this reach based on watershed size and design discharge. DWR Comment: these reaches should be restoration. If RES decides that restoration not feasible then the ratio for enhancement would be greater than 5:1, could be as high as 8:1. Planting outer 20 feet just does not do a lot for this system. USACE Comment: This channel is incised, poor substrate, no buffer, channelized, with an available floodplain. USACE & DWR feel restoration is appropriate. • TC4: RES originally proposed Enhancement III at 5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle exclusion and buffer planting. IRT suggested restoration as the approach. RES is open to examining restoration along this reach based on watershed size and design discharge. DWR Comment: these reaches should be restoration. If RES decides that restoration not feasible then the ratio for enhancement would be greater than 5:1, could be as high as 8:1. Planting outer 20 feet just does not do a lot for this system. USACE Comment: This channel is incised, poor substrate, no buffer, channelized, with an available floodplain. USACE & DWR feel restoration is appropriate. • TC5-B: RES originally proposed Enhancement II at 2.5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle exclusion, buffer planting, and minor spot stabilization. IRT suggested a lower ratio of 3:1 in some areas based on existing buffer condition. RES recommends potentially splitting the reach into different treatments based on level of intervention and will justify rationale in mitigation plan. • TC7: RES originally proposed Enhancement II at 2.5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle exclusion, buffer planting, invasive species treatment and spot stabilization. Group agreed to this approach with a ratio ranging from 2.5 to 3 to be justified in the mitigation plan. USACE Comment: 3:1 ratio would be more appropriate. • TC6: RES originally proposed Enhancement II at 2.5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle exclusion and buffer planting. This reach is in a deeply formed gully, but is currently stable with the exception of multiple headcuts at the top of the reach. DWR suggested "filling in" the reach to bring the bed up and credit as restoration with a 1:1 ratio. RES expressed concerns with filling in the gully because thee stream might lose jurisdictional status after construction with such a small watershed (roughly 20 acres). DWR Comment: Reach TC6 may not be a creditable reach. While I feel that the only beneficial treatment would be filling like a RSC approach it is likely the stream would lose flow. Planting the outer 20 feet for this reach would not be creditable enhancement either. USACE Comment: I would question whether there would be flow if the bed was raised with restoration. USACE would not release credit if the restored channel was not jurisdictional. The channel is part of the larger system, and the lower portions of this reach would benefit from cattle exclusion. I would suggest a lower EII ratio of 5-7.5:1. • TC5-A: RES originally proposed Enhancement III at 5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle exclusion and buffer planting. IRT agreed that this is an appropriate approach, but RES needs to clearly justify the rationale for the enhancement on this reach. DWR Comment: IRT suggested 7.5:1, would consider 5:1 if justified in mit plan. WRC Comment: RES will need to address the issue of cattle accessing land via passage under the bridge and the associated erosion. USACE Comment: USACE and DWR agreed that 7.5:1 would be more appropriate, unless 5:1 can be justified. Scout Site- 10/18/17 The Scout Site is located just upstream of the lower portion of the recently contracted DMS Mockingbird Site. While each project could be developed independently of the other, the combined easements will result in a better project and most importantly provide the opportunity to add over 2,000 linear feet of priority I restoration and limit the amount of priority II restoration on the Mockingbird Site. IRT members agreed the Scout site is acceptable for compensatory mitigation, and final credit ratios will be determined in the Approved Mitigation Plan. Reach specific comments are below. • HC3: Group agreed that restoration at 1:1 ratio is the best approach for this reach and including it will improve the development of the Mockingbird project. USACE commented that a hunting blind within the proposed easement area will need to be removed. There is an existing crossing that will be removed as part of the design. RES also showed a tributary that was not included in the prospectus that would be eligible for potential restoration credit at the tie-in with HC3, but would more likely be Enhancement II for the rest of the reach.

Andrea, Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback and comments on the Public Notice (SAW - 2017 -01462) for the RES Yadkin 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank (Bank) Prospectus. The bank Sponsor, Environmental Banc and Exchange, LLC wishes to establish a commercial umbrella mitigation bank to generate mitigation banking credits to provide compensatory mitigation for unavoidable impacts to aquatic resources associated with Section 404 permits within the Upper Yadkin River Basin HUC 03040101. The Bank consists of establishing five mitigation sites expected to provide approximately 6,373 cool Stream Mitigation Units (SMU) and 11,764 warm SMUs by restoring, enhancing and preserving over 29,800 linear feet of stream and riparian corridor. The project is designed to address stressors identified in the watershed and provide improvements and ecological uplift to water quality, hydrologic function and both aquatic and terrestrial habitat. The EPA Region 4 Ocean, Wetlands and Stream Protection Branch offers the following comments as they pertain to RES Yadkin 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank Final Prospectus dated July, 2017 and the Public Notice dated September 6, 2017. Section 1.4/Page 3: The project goals stated are too broad and somewhat vague. For example, the goal: "Nutrient removal" and a few others may be better presented as "Intercept, filter, minimize and potentially eliminate nutrients (such as...), sediment and other pollutants/pathogens before entering the aquatic environment". o The goal of "Improved aquatic and terrestrial habitat" is also vague and does not address any particular habitat or species of interest. Since we have cool water habitats being presented for restoration/enhancement then the goals should address the habitat types and rationale for considering them. o "Invasive species treatment" is more of an objective or action (and is stated as such in the document) to address the real goal of "Eliminate competition to native vegetation from exotic and invasive floral species". o I understand that many of the "goals" presented are at the prospectus level and not necessarily applicable to each site but without clear goals, the establishment of objectives and performance standards that relate back to the goals and functional uplift of the site becomes more challenging. • Section 3.7/Page 6: The last sentence should read: "If planted tree mortality affects 40 percent or greater of the initial planting in a stream or wetland restoration or enhancement area, then a remedial/supplemental planting plan will be implemented for the affected area(s)." This addresses "planted" vs. "volunteer" mortality and defines the starting point to consider mortality. • Section 5.1/Page 9: Be sure to continue coordinating the work at the Gideon Site with the Little Sebastian sites and ensure the Mitigation Plan is updated with relevant information about the adjacent restoration site. NCDMS' Little Sebastian site is now out on Public Notice, SAW -2017-01507, dated September 21, 2017. The Mitigation Plan should address how the Gideon Site will tie in with the adjacent restoration work so that the projects connect seamlessly and minimize disturbance to one another. • Section 5.4.7/Page 13: Be sure to identify the adjacent restoration work at the Little Sebastian site upstream and downstream of the project as a potential constraint. See comment above. • Section 5.5/Page 14: Table 6 does not match Figure 8. Be sure not to carry error forward into the Mitigation Plan for Gideon Site. • Section 5.5.1/Page 14: Second paragraph should state Enhancement Level II instead of Level I. 1 also recommend 50 -foot riparian buffers be considered for this site due to the high potential for nutrients and fecal pathogens to enter the stream from the adjacent pasture. • Section 7.1/Page 21: SMU discrepancy should be corrected to match Table 6 on page 26. • Section 7.4.2/Page 22: Information on FF -5 is missing. • Section 7.5.1/Page 26: Enhancement Level I is not being utilized at the Green Mesa Site. Level II is proposed for Reach FF3-A. • Section 8.5.1/Page 34: Priority Level I is proposed for TC3-13 only. Be sure to note pond removals in this paragraph and restoration plan in general. • Section 8.5.1/Page 35: Enhancement Level II includes TO -A also. • Section 9.1/Page 36: Recommend continuing to coordinate with NCDMS and the adjacent Mockingbird site currently out on Public Notice (SAW -2017-01505) dated September 15, 2017. The Mockingbird site is considering a Priority II approach to restoration along Hauser Creek at the terminus of the Scout Site which is considering Priority I approach on Hauser Creek (HC3). I agree that the sites can be developed independently but they should complement each other and provide for a seamless transition as one moves downstream from Scout to Mockingbird. • Section 9.4.7/Page 39: See comment above. Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback, comments and concerns with the RES Yadkin 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank Prospectus and associated proposed sites to provide compensatory mitigation in the Upper Yadkin River watershed of North Carolina. I believe the sponsor has provided a viable plan to offset warm and cool water stream impacts that will be incurred within the proposed service area. If you or the sponsor have any questions or need clarification on any of the comments stated above, please contact me at 404-562-9225 or at bowers.todd@epa.gov.
