The Umbrella Mitigation Banking Instrument (UMBI) for the Bank and the Bank Parcel Development Plan (BPDP) were approved on July 18, 2018. The project was planned, designed, and constructed encompassing land along tributaries to South Fork Cane Creek in Chatham County, NC (Figure 1). The purpose of the Parcel is to provide riparian buffer and nutrient offset mitigation credits to compensate for buffer impacts and development requiring nutrient offset payments according to the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (effective November 1, 2015) and development requiring nutrient offset payments according to 15A NCAC 0213 .0240 within the Haw River Sub -watershed of the Jordan Lake Watershed. The service area is depicted in Figure 2. This Parcel was restored to provide nutrient offset and buffer mitigation through the creation of a Nutrient Offset and Buffer Bank. The project involves restoring riparian buffers adjacent to the existing mitigated streams on-site in order to help reduce non -point source contaminant discharges to downstream waters in the Jordan Lake Watershed within the Cape Fear River Basin. Out of the 18.13 acres, 14.83 acres have been mitigated for either Jordan Lake riparian buffer credit or nutrient offset credit. In general, riparian buffer restoration area widths on streams range from 50 feet to 100 feet from the top of bank for Jordan Lake buffer credits and nutrient offset credit. 1.2 Bank Sponsor The South Fork Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel is a part of the Bank. The Umbrella Mitigation Banking Instrument (UMBI) for the Bank was signed in July 2018.

No major adjustments were made during construction that drastically affected the Buffer and Nutrient Offset Bank Parcel. Buffer and nutrient offset credits were adjusted to reflect the presence of vernal pools that were added during construction, and a minor alignment adjustment to UT2. The Umbrella Mitigation Banking Instrument (UMBI) for the Bank and the Bank Parcel Development Plan (BPDP) were approved on July 18, 2018. The As -Built Monitoring Report was approved in May 2019. More details on project history can be found below in Table 1. W South Fork Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel Page 2 Monitoring Year 1 Report Table 1.

From Raleigh, take US -64 West to the exit for NC -87 North. Continue north on NC -87 for 1.8 miles and turn left onto Silk Hope Gum Spring Road. Continue on Silk Hope Gum Spring Road for 8.1 miles. Turn right onto Silk Hope -Lindley Mill Road and continue for 2.9 miles. Turn left onto Moon Lindley Road and continue for 1.3 miles. Turn left onto Johnny Lindley Road and continue for 0.7 miles to 1727 Johnny Lindley Road, Snow Camp, NC (Figure 1). 1.5 Project Design The Parcel will generate 14.83 acres to be used for either Jordan Lake riparian buffer credit or nutrient offset credit at 2,249.36 pounds of nitrogen per acre of riparian restoration and 143.81 pounds of phosphorus per acre of riparian restoration (71% and 67% delivery factor respectively). Site credit generation is shown in Figure 3. The revegetation plan for the Parcel included planting of bare root trees and controlling invasive species growth. Bare root trees selected for the Parcel were native bottomland hardwood species typical for Piedmont communities (Table 2). The riparian buffer will immobilize nutrients, reducing quantities available to downstream aquatic ecosystems in the Cape Fear River Basin. Table 2.

The cattle pastures on the Parcel are dominated by fescue grasses (Festuca spp.) and broomsedge (Andropogon virginicus). Much of the riparian areas on the Parcel are wooded; however, cattle had access to the streams. Vegetation in the wooded areas is primarily hardwood species including white W South Fork Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel Page 3 Monitoring Year 1 Report oak (Quercus alba), red oak (Quercus rubra), willow oak (Quercus phellos), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), sweetgum (Liquidambarstyraciflua), red maple (Acerrubrum), southern red oak (Quercus falcata), and American elm (Ulmus americana) (Table 3).

Height, visual assessment of damage, and vigor will be used as indicators of overall health. Desirable species may be included to meet the success criteria upon DWR approval. If vegetative success criteria are not achieved based on acreage density calculations from combined monitoring plots over the entire restoration area, or if an inspection of a buffer restoration site indicates that portions of the Parcel do not have sufficient stem densities or are otherwise deficient, supplemental planting shall be performed with tree species approved by NCDWR. Supplemental planting shall be performed as needed until vegetative success criteria are met. No quantitative measurements of herb assemblages will be required to meet the vegetative success criteria. 2.2 Description of Species and Monitoring Protocol The number of plots required was determined in accordance with the Carolina Vegetative Sampling Protocol (CVS Levels 1 & 2) such that at least 2 percent of the Parcel is encompassed in monitoring plots. Five 10 -meter by 10 -meter vegetation monitoring plots were installed within the buffer restoration area to measure the survival of the planted trees (Figure 4). PVC pipe was used to mark the four corners of the plots. GPS points were taken at each of the corners and a reference photo was taken from the southwest corner of each plot (Appendix D). All planted stems within the plots were marked with flagging tape and recorded. Total numbers of tree species planted within the monitoring plots as well as planting density and plant composition are detailed in Table 4. Detailed results of the Monitoring Year 1 stem count are summarized in Appendix C. No planting was required in cattle exclusion or preservation areas, however visual assessments will be conducted to ensure no encroachments or livestock access has occurred within the conservation easement.

A reference photo was taken from the southwest corner of each plot, which can be found in Appendix D along with the stem count raw data. Total numbers of tree species identified within the monitoring plots as well as density and composition are summarized in Table 5. Vegetation result tables with planted stem density, and stem count by plot and species are summarized in Appendix C. The 2019 vegetation monitoring resulted in an average planted stem density of 502 stems per acre, which is greater than the final requirement of 260 stems per acre and has not changed drastically since the as -built density of 607 stems per acre recorded in January 2019. Visual assessments of the cattle exclusion and preservation areas within the conservation easement concluded: • Fencing is in good condition throughout the Parcel; • No cattle access within the conservation easement area; • No encroachment has occurred; • Diffuse flow is being maintained in the conservation easement area; and • There has not been any cutting, clearing, filling, grading, or similar activities that would negatively affect the functioning of the buffer. The Parcel is on track to meet its final success criteria. W South Fork Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel Page 5 Monitoring Year 1 Report Table 5.

Fencing locations were agreed upon with the landowner and displayed accurately in Figures 3 and 4. Adaptive measures will be developed, or appropriate remedial actions will be implemented in the event that the Parcel or a specific component of the Parcel fails to achieve the success criteria. Parcel maintenance will be performed to correct any identified problems that have a high likelihood of affecting project success. Such items include but are not limited to excess tree mortality caused by fire, flooding, drought, or insects. Any actions implemented will be designed to achieve the success criteria and will include a work schedule and updated monitoring criteria. 2.5 Conclusions The 2019 vegetation monitoring data reflects that the Parcel has not suffered significant mortality and is on trajectory to achieve final vegetative success criteria of 260 stems per acre by the end of Monitoring Year Five. No problems were identified, such as invasive species or excessive tree mortality, during monitoring year one. Therefore, no corrective actions are required at this time. 3.0 References Guidelines for Riparian Buffer Restoration.
