Bank Parcel Development Package
Thoroughfare Swamp Mitigation Bank Parcel
Neuse River Basin
Introduction
The Thoroughfare Swamp Mitigation Site (Parcel) is located in southwest Wayne County (Figure 1). The
Parcel involves buffer restoration on Thoroughfare Swamp (A2), one unnamed tributary (B) and one
ephemeral channel (Al) in accordance with the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rules (15A NCAC 02B
.0295). The project is located within the Neuse River Basin Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03020201170030
and NCDWR Subbasin 03-04-12 and is being submitted for riparian buffer mitigation credit and nutrient
offset credit in the Neuse River Basin HUC 03020201 (excluding Falls Lake) (Figure 2).
The Parcel is located on the headwaters of Thoroughfare Swamp which flows into Falling Creek and
eventually into the Neuse River approximately 20 miles downstream from the project parcel.
Thoroughfare Swamp and its tributaries are classified as Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW) by the North
Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR). The proposed project supports specific goals identified
in the 2010 Neuse River Basin Restoration Priorities Plan (RBRP) by promoting "nutrient and sediment
reduction in agricultural areas by restoring and preserving wetlands, streams and riparian buffers".
Downstream Section of Thoroughfare Swamp and UT1

This buffer restoration project will
reduce sediment and nutrient
loading, provide and improve
terrestrial and in stream habitats,
and improve stream and bank
stability. The area surrounding the
streams proposed for buffer
restoration is currently open
agricultural fields, typically used to
grow soybeans and corn. Restoring
the vegetative buffer on the areas
up to 200 feet from the streams
and ephemeral channel will remove
the row crops and fertilizer inputs
within the project area. The
restored floodplain areas will also
filter sediment during high rainfall
events. The establishment of
riparian buffers will create shading
to minimize thermal heating.
Finally, invasive vegetation will be
removed from the project area and
the new native vegetation will
provide cover and food for wildlife.

Mitigation Project Summary
2.1 Project Goals
The major goals of the proposed buffer restoration project are to provide ecological and water quality
enhancements to the Neuse River Basin by creating a functional riparian corridor and restoring the
riparian buffer. Specific enhancements to water quality and ecological processes are outlined below in
Table 1
Table 1: Ecological and Water Quality Goals
Goal
Objective
Nutrient input will be decreased by filtering runoff from the agricultural fields
Decrease nutrient levels

absorbed on-site by filtering flood flows through restored floodplain areas,
where flood flows can disperse through native vegetation.
Decrease sediment input
Sediment from off-site sources will be captured by deposition on restored
floodplain areas where native vegetation will slow overland flow velocities.

2.2 Existing Parcel Conditions
The proposed buffer restoration project includes approximately 23.5 acres of open agricultural fields
along Thoroughfare Swamp (A2), one unnamed tributary (B), and one ephemeral channel (A1). The
agricultural fields are currently being used for soybean and corn production. Project features on the
Parcel have little to no existing riparian buffer except for three small, separate individual rows of mature
trees. Each of the rows of mature trees is no more than 5-10 feet in width (Figure 3).
Thoroughfare Swamp (A2) is a jurisdictional stream upstream from Dobbersville Road. The project
stream is approximately 3,340 linear feet that transitions at an existing culvert to an ephemeral channel
(A1) for an additional 250 feet upstream. Feature B enters the project from the northeast and flows
directly into Thoroughfare Swamp (A2) approximately 500 feet upstream of Dobbersville Road. The
Parcel is characterized by gently sloped valleys dominated by row crops. Based on a review of historical
aerials (presented in the Appendix), the land use directly adjacent to onsite streams has historically been
used for agriculture. The proposed easement borders an established forested wetland along the
northern section of the project, providing connectivity for wildlife once it has been completed.

In addition to buffer restoration on subject streams, per the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rules (15A
NCAC 02B 0.0295 (o)), alternative mitigation is proposed on the Parcel in the form of buffer restoration
on ephemeral channels and buffer preservation of forested land on subject streams. The proposed
project is in compliance with these rules in the following ways:
Buffer Restoration on Ephemeral Channels (15A NCAC 02B 0.0295(0)(7)):
• The topographic crenulation on the ephemeral channel is depicted on Figures 3 and 4.
• The area of mitigation on the Parcel's
ephemeral channel is located completely
within its drainage areas (Figure 5).
• The ephemeral channel is directly connected
to intermittent or perennial stream channels
and will be protected under the same
contiguous easement boundary (Figure 3).
• The area of mitigation on the ephemeral
channels is less than 25% of the total area of
buffer mitigation on the Parcel (See Section 7
and Figure 7).
Preservation on Subject Streams (15A NCAC 0213 .0295 (0)(5):
• The buffer width is at least 30 feet from the
stream (See Figures 3 and 8).
• The area meets the requirements of 15A NCAC
02R 0.0403(c)(7), (8), and (11) with no known
structures, infrastructure, hazardous
substances, solid waste, or encumbrances
within the mitigation boundary (See Section
2.10.
• Mitigation credits are being requested on no
more than 25% of the total area of buffer
mitigation (See Section 7).

NCDWR performed an onsite visit of the Parcel to determine viability for buffer mitigation and nutrient
offset on February 12, 2019 (letter dated April 3, 2019) for the project. Three of the six water features
assessed were deemed viable by NCDWR to generate buffer mitigation. There have not been any
changes to the land use in the project area since the February 12th NCDWR site visit. The Stream Origin
Determination was also assessed on February 12, 2019 by NCDWR and issued March 21, 2019.
A copy of both the "On -Site Stream Origin Determination for Applicability to Neuse Riparian Buffer
Rules" and the "Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset" letters from the DWR are included
in the Appendix and summarized in Table 3.

The following section describes the existing riparian conditions at the Parcel in terms of watershed, soils,
geology, cultural resources, species of concern, regulated floodplain zones, and site constraints.
2.3 Watershed Characterization
The Parcel is located within the Targeted Local Watershed 03020201170030 and NCDWR Subbasin 03-
04-12. All onsite features drain to Thoroughfare Swamp which is classified as C and NSW by NCDWR.
Class C waters are designated for recreational use, agriculture, fishing and fish consumption, and the
maintenance of biological integrity for wildlife. The NSW designation applies to surface waters that are
experiencing excessive growths of microscopic or macroscopic vegetation.
The topography of the Parcel, as indicated on the Dobbersville NC USGS 7.5 -minute topographic
quadrangle, shows gently sloped areas throughout the Parcel (Figure 4). Drainage areas for the project
reaches (Figure 5) were delineated using 2 -foot contour intervals derived from the North Carolina
Floodplain Mapping Program's 2017 Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data. Land uses draining to the
project reaches are primarily agriculture with some forested use. The watershed areas and current land
use are summarized in Table 4, below.

2.4 Geology and Soils
The Parcel is located in the Coastal Plain physiographic province. The landscape of the Coastal Plain is
characterized by flat lands to gently rolling hills and valleys. Elevations range from sea level to 600 feet.
The Coastal Plain largely consists of marine sedimentary rocks comprised of sand, clay, and limestone
that formed through the deposition of estuarine and marine sediments within the last 140 million years.
According to the Geologic Map of North Carolina (1985), the underlying geology of the proposed
mitigation parcel is mapped as the Black Creek Formation which is described as gray to brown lignitic
clay that contains thin beds and laminae of fine-grained micaceous sand and thick lenses of cross -
bedded sand. Glauconitic, fossiliferous clayey sand lenses are present in the upper portion of the unit.
The proposed Parcel is mapped by the Wayne County Soil Survey. Project area soils are mapped
primarily as Goldsboro loamy sand, Lynchburg sandy loam, Norfolk loamy sand, and Rains sandy loam.
These soils are described below in Table 5. Thoroughfare Swamp (A2), Al, and B are depicted as streams
on the 1974 NRCS Soil Survey provided in Figure 6.

2.5 Existing Vegetative Communities
Existing vegetation within the Parcel is primarily comprised of active row crop fields of soybeans with
narrow streamside thickets shown on Figure 3.
2.6 Threatened and Endangered Species
The NC Natural Heritage Program (NHP) database and the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)
Information for Planning and Consultation database (IPaC) were searched for federally listed threatened
and endangered plant and animal species in Wayne County, NC. Three listed species or species
proposed for listing as endangered or threatened that may occur in the project area were identified: the
Thoroughfare Swamp Mitigation Bank Parcel BPDP - Draft
HUC 03020201 Page 7 August 2019

red -cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), Neuse River waterdog (Necturus lewisi) and Carolina
madtom (No torus furiousus). Wildlands performed a pedestrian survey of the project parcel January
2019 and determined there was no suitable habitat for any of the listed species; therefore, the project
will have "no effect" on the federally listed species. The USFWS Self -Certification Letter is included in
the appendix.
2.7 Cultural Resources
There are no existing structures in the project area. The Parcel is not located near any sites listed on the
National Register with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). There is an existing cemetery
located on the project parcel, outside of the conservation easement area. SHPO was contacted with
request for review and comment on July 1, 2019. SHPO has not responded at this time.
2.8 FEMA Floodplain Compliance
The Parcel is not located in a FEMA floodplain. No grading activities are proposed in the floodplain, so a
floodplain development permit will not be required. No hydraulic modeling is proposed for this project.
2.9 Parcel Location, Parcel Constraints, and Access
The Parcel is located in southwest Wayne County five miles east of Newton Grove (Figure 1). The project
is located within the Neuse River Basin HUC 03020201170030 and NCDWR Subbasin 03-04-12, which is
in the Neuse River Basin HUC 03020201.
The Parcel is accessible via a gravel driveway off Dobbersville Road. There is an existing culvert where Al
transitions to Thoroughfare Swamp (A2) that will be removed, and the channel stabilized as needed. Any
applicable permits will be acquired prior to removing the culvert. There is a small cemetery located on
the property, but it is outside of the conservation easement boundary (Figure 3).
There are no other known constraints on the proposed Parcel.
2.10 Other Environmental Conditions
An EDR Radius Map Report with Geocheck was ordered for the Parcel June 2019 through Environmental
Data Resources, Inc. Neither the target property nor the adjacent properties were listed in any of the
Federal, State, or Tribal environmental databases searched by EDR. There were no known or potentially
hazardous waste sites identified within or immediately adjacent to the project area. The Executive
Summary of the EDR report is included in the Appendix.
3.0 Site Protection Instrument
The land required for buffer planting, management, and stewardship of the mitigation project includes
portions of the parcel listed in Table 6. The Parcel will remain in private ownership, protected in its
entirety by an approved NCDWR long term stewardship, and will be managed under the terms detailed
in an approved NCDWR conservation easement.

Mitigation Work Plan
The Wildlands Team proposes to restore a high quality of ecological function to the riparian buffers of
Thoroughfare Swamp (A2) and Features Al and B on the Parcel. The ecological uplift can be summarized
as transforming agriculturally impacted land to a protected riparian corridor. The project design will
ensure that no adverse impacts to wetlands or existing riparian buffers occur. Figure 7 illustrates the
conceptual design for the Parcel. Figure 8 further depicts the riparian buffer zones for the Parcel.
4.1 Parcel Preparation
The current land use adjacent to the project features 200 feet from top of bank has been maintained as
cleared agricultural field except for a few small fringe areas ranging from 5 to 10 feet in width along two
areas of Thoroughfare Swamp (A1) and one area on Feature C. Those areas will be preserved. Areas
slated for buffer restoration will require little site preparation because the land has been maintained as
a cleared agricultural field. Site preparation will include select herbicide treatments and/or limited
mechanical clearing to remove undesirable vegetation. Where needed, invasive species will be
selectively removed and/or spot treated by a licensed pesticide applicator. As mentioned in Section 2.1,
there is also an existing culvert at the transition from Feature Al to Thoroughfare Swamp (A2) that will
be removed and the stream bank stabilized as needed.
4.2 Riparian Area Restoration Activities
Buffer restoration will involve removing invasive vegetation from the restoration area and replanting
appropriate native tree species along the buffer corridor. Herbaceous riparian vegetation will also be
planted, though additional herbaceous plants will re-establish naturally. Vegetation management and
herbicide applications may be needed over the first few years of tree establishment in the riparian
buffer restoration areas to prevent encroachment of undesirable species that may out -compete the
planted native vegetation.
The re -vegetation plan for the Parcel will include the planting of bare root trees and controlling invasive
species growth. Tree species planted across the buffer areas of the Parcel will include a mixture of the
species listed in Table 7 below.

Trees will be planted at a density sufficient to meet the performance standards outlined in the Rule 15A
NCAC 02B .0295 of 260 planted trees per acre at the end of five years. No one tree species will be
greater than 50% of the established stems. An appropriate seed mix will also be applied to provide
Thoroughfare Swamp Mitigation Bank Parcel BPDP - Draft
HUC 03020201 Page 9 August 2019

temporary and permanent ground cover for soil stabilization and reduction of sediment loss during rain
events in areas without existing herbaceous cover. Planting is scheduled for winter 2019/2020.
4.3 Riparian Area Preservation Activities
There will be no parcel preparation work done in the buffer preservation areas, as allowed under 15A
NCAC 02B .0295(o). There are three small sections along Thoroughfare Swamp of mature hardwood
forest that will be protected in perpetuity by a conservation easement (Figure 7). No additional
treatment or planting is planned for these areas of the project.
4.4 Riparian Area Enhancement Activities
No riparian enhancement activities are planned for the Parcel.
Monitoring and Maintenance Plan
5.1 Monitoring Protocol
Permanent vegetation monitoring plots will be installed and evaluated within the buffer restoration
areas to measure the survival of the planted trees. The plots will be randomly placed throughout the
planted riparian areas. A total of 10 plots will be established within the riparian buffer restoration and
credit generation areas (Figure 9). The size of individual quadrants will be 100 square meters.
Vegetation assessments will be conducted and follow the Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) Level 2
Protocol for Recording Vegetation (2008). A reference photo will be taken from the southwestern corner
of each of the 10 plots. Photos will be taken from all photo points each monitoring year and provided in
the annual reports. All planted stems will be marked with flagging tape and recorded.
Planting is scheduled for winter 2019/2020. The first annual monitoring activities will commence at the
end of the first growing season, at least five months after planting has been completed and no earlier
than the fall season. Species composition, height, and survival rates will be evaluated on an annual basis
by plot. The total number of volunteer woody stems will also be documented and reported. The
measure of vegetative success for the Parcel will be the survival of at least 4 native hardwood tree
species, where no one species is greater than 50% of the established planted stems, and an established
density of at least 260 planted trees per acre at the end of monitoring year five. Appropriate and
desirable native volunteer species may be included in the Parcel's density to meet the performance
standards with NCDWR approval.
The Sponsor shall submit the annual monitoring report to NCDWR by December 31St of each year for five
consecutive years and will follow the terms and conditions of the Thoroughfare Swamp Mitigation
Banking Instrument (MBI).
5.2 Parcel Maintenance
If the Parcel or a specific component of the Parcel fails to achieve the success criteria outlined in Section
5.1, adaptive measures will be developed and/or appropriate remedial actions will be implemented. Site
maintenance will be performed to correct any identified problems on the Parcel that have a high
likelihood of affecting project success. Such items include, but are not limited to, fire, flooding, drought,
or insects that cause excess tree mortality. Any actions implemented will be designed to achieve the
success criteria and will include a work schedule and updated monitoring criteria. Any parcel
maintenance performed will be included in the monitoring report for that year. A rigorous herbicide
schedule may need to be implemented in the first few years of tree establishment in the restoration
areas to prevent establishment of invasive species that may out -compete the planted native vegetation.
Thoroughfare Swamp Mitigation Bank Parcel BPDP - Draft
HUC 03020201 Page 10 August 2019

The only herbicides used on the Parcel will be aquatic approved herbicides that will be applied in
accordance with North Carolina Department of Agriculture rules and regulations.
The easement boundary will be checked annually as part of monitoring activities. Easement boundary
conditions as well as any maintenance performed will be reported in the annual monitoring reports to
NCDWR. If mowing is deemed necessary by the Sponsor during the monitoring period, the Sponsor must
receive approval from NCDWR prior to conducting any mowing activities within Zone 1 and Zone 2 of
the Neuse buffers to ensure that no buffer violations have occurred.
5.3 Easement Boundaries and Fencing
Easement boundaries will be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between the Parcel and
adjacent properties. Boundaries may be identified by fence, marker, post, tree -blazing, or other means as
allowed by site conditions and/or conservation easement. Boundary markers that have been disturbed,
damaged, or destroyed will be repaired and/or replaced on an as needed basis. Contact information for
the conservation easement holder will be included on easement markers.
Financial Assurance and Long -Term Management
6.1 Financial Assurances
Following approval of the Thoroughfare Swamp Bank Parcel Development Package, the Sponsor shall
provide a Performance Bond from a surety that is rated no less than an "A-" as rated by A.M. Best. The
Performance Bond amount shall be 100% of the estimated cost for implementation of the project as
described in the Bank Parcel Development Package (BPDP, but not less than $150,000.00. In lieu of
posting the performance bond, the Sponsor may elect to construct the project prior to the first credit
release. In that case no performance bond will be necessary.
After completion of the restoration/construction, a separate Performance/Maintenance Bond will be
secured for 100% of the estimated cost to implement the monitoring and maintenance plan but not less
than $100,000.00. The Performance/Maintenance Bond shall apply at the inception of the monitoring
period for a term of one year and be extended annually for a minimum of five years. Upon NCDWR
approval, this may be lowered each year based on the adjusted cost to complete the monitoring.
Performance bonds for monitoring shall be renewed at least annually to cover the next years monitoring
period, with confirmation of renewal provided to NCDWR with each annual monitoring report when
applicable. NCDWR reserves the right to alter the credit release schedule if monitoring reports are
submitted without proof of bond renewals when applicable.
6.2 Long-term Management
The Parcel will remain in private ownership, protected in its entirety by an approved NCDWR long term
stewardship, and will be managed under the terms detailed in an approved NCDWR conservation
easement. The long-term manager will be responsible for periodic inspection of the Parcel to ensure
that the restrictions documented in the recorded easement are upheld.

Of the 23.5 acres protected under the conservation easement, the mitigation activity for 20.8 acres is
buffer restoration and the mitigation activity for 0.1 acre is buffer preservation. Of the buffer area being
restored, the total riparian buffer credits requested are 567,691.000 and the total nutrient offset credits
requested are 17,663.330 lbs. of Nitrogen. All of the buffer restoration areas are viable for either
riparian buffer credits or nutrient offset credits and can be converted upon approval by NCDWR.

HUC 03020201 Page 11 August 2019

There are 1.4 acres of riparian buffer that will be restored as part of the Parcel and protected under the
conservation easement but will not be generating riparian buffer credits due to the date at which the
trees were timbered along Thoroughfare Swamp (Figure 7). There is a second area, 0.1 acres, which will
also not be generating riparian buffer credits. In this area the Buffer Interpretation /Clarification Memo
#2008-019 has been applied to Feature C where maintenance of diffuse flow onsite is unattainable.
Table 8 is a breakdown of potential mitigation credit generated per feature. Table 9 below, is a
summary of the total mitigation credits requested on the Thoroughfare Swamp Mitigation Bank Parcel.

The Division of Water Resources has determined that the streams listed above and included on the attached map have been
located on the most recent published NRCS Soil Survey of Pitt County, North Carolina and/or the most recent copy of the USGS
Topographic map at a 1:24,000 scale and evaluated for applicability to the Tar -Pamlico Riparian Buffer Rule. Each stream that is
checked "Not Subject" has been determined to not be at least intermittent or not present on the property. Streams that are
checked "Subject" have been located on the property and possess characteristics that qualify them to be at least intermittent
streams. There may be other streams or features located on the property that do not appear on the maps referenced above
but may be considered jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of Engineers and subject to the Clean Water Act.

Re: Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset — Thoroughfare Swamp Site
Located near 3070 Dobbersville Rd, Mt. Olive
Neuse 03020201 (not in Falls WS)
Dear Ms. Eckardt,
On January 8, 2018, Katie Merritt, with the Division of Water Resources (DWR), received a request
from you on behalf of Wildlands Engineering, Inc (WEI) for a site visit near the above -referenced
site in the Neuse River Basin within the 8 -digit Hydrologic Unit Code 03020201. The site visit was
to determine the potential for riparian buffer mitigation and nutrient offset within a proposed
Easement Boundary, which is more accurately shown in the attached maps labeled "Figure 4"
prepared by WEI. On February 12, 2019, Ms. Merritt performed a site assessment of the subject site.
Staff with WEI were also present.
Ms. Merritt's evaluation of the features onsite and their associated mitigation determination for the
riparian areas are provided in the table below. This evaluation was made from Top of Bank (TOB)
and landward 200' from each feature for buffer mitigation pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295
(effective November 1, 2015) and for nutrient offset credits pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0240.

Project Name: Thoroughfare Swamp Mitigation Bank Parcel
Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location, and/or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The species list generated pursuant to the information you provided identifies threatened,
endangered, proposed and candidate species, as well as proposed and final designated critical
habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and/or may be affected by
your proposed project. The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended
(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to
contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to
federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical
habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the
Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be
completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be
completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and
implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested
through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list.
Section 7 of the Act requires that all federal agencies (or their designated non-federal
representative), in consultation with the Service, insure that any action federally authorized,
funded, or carried out by such agencies is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any
federally -listed endangered or threatened species. A biological assessment or evaluation may be
prepared to fulfill that requirement and in determining whether additional consultation with the
Service is necessary. In addition to the federally -protected species list, information on the
species' life histories and habitats and information on completing a biological assessment or

07/02/2019 Event Code: 04EN2000-2019-E-02611 2
evaluation and can be found on our web page at http://www.fws.gov/raleigh. Please check the
web site often for updated information or changes
If your project contains suitable habitat for any of the federally -listed species known to be
present within the county where your project occurs, the proposed action has the potential to
adversely affect those species. As such, we recommend that surveys be conducted to determine
the species' presence or absence within the project area. The use of North Carolina Natural
Heritage program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys.
If you determine that the proposed action may affect (i.e., likely to adversely affect or not likely
to adversely affect) a federally -protected species, you should notify this office with your
determination, the results of your surveys, survey methodologies, and an analysis of the effects
of the action on listed species, including consideration of direct, indirect, and cumulative effects,
before conducting any activities that might affect the species. If you determine that the proposed
action will have no effect (i.e., no beneficial or adverse, direct or indirect effect) on federally
listed species, then you are not required to contact our office for concurrence (unless an
Environmental Impact Statement is prepared). However, you should maintain a complete record
of the assessment, including steps leading to your determination of effect, the qualified personnel
conducting the assessment, habitat conditions, site photographs, and any other related articles.
Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require
development of an eagle conservation plan (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/
eagle_guidance.html). Additionally, wind energy projects should follow the wind energy
guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) for minimizing impacts to migratory birds and
bats.
Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects including communications
towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at: http://
www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdlssues4lazards/towers/towers.htm; http://
www.towerkill.com; and http://www.fws. og v/mi rg atoI3 birds/CurrentBirdlssues/Hazards/towers/
comtow.html.
Not all Threatened and Endangered Species that occur in North Carolina are subject to section 7
consultation with the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service. Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon, sea
turtles,when in the water, and certain marine mammals are under purview of the National Marine
Fisheries Service. If your project occurs in marine, estuarine, or coastal river systems you should
also contact the National Marine Fisheries Service, http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/
We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages
Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project
planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Tracking Number in
the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project
that you submit to our office. If you have any questions or comments, please contact John Ellis
of this office at [e-mail].

Subject: Thoroughfare Swamp Mitigation Bank Parcel in Wayne County, NC
Dear Ms. Gledhill -Earley,
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. requests review and comment on any possible issues that might emerge with respect
to archaeological or cultural resources associated with a potential riparian buffer mitigation project on the
Thoroughfare Swamp Mitigation Bank Site. A USGS topographic Map and an Overview Site Map showing the
approximate project area are enclosed. The topographic figure was prepared from the Dobbersville, 7.5 minute
topographic quadrangle and the site is located at latitude 35.2360300, 78.2512350 longitude.
The Thoroughfare Swamp Mitigation Bank Parcel is being developed to provide nutrient offset and buffer
mitigation. The project includes restoring the riparian areas adjacent to streams, ephemeral channels and ditches
in order to help reduce non -point source contaminant discharges to downstream waters. The site has historically
been disturbed due to agricultural use, primarily row crops. No architectural structures or archaeological artifacts
have been observed or noted during preliminary surveys of the site for restoration purposes. There is a small
cemetary on the property that will be excluded from the conservation easement area.
We ask that you review the site based on the attached information to determine the presence of any historic
properties.
We thank you in advance for your timely response and cooperation. Please feel free to contact us with any
questions that you may have concerning the extent of site disturbance associated with this project.
Sincerely,
Andrea S. Eckardt, Project Manager
