Salisbury Street, Raleigh, NC 27620 RE: DWR Draft BPDP Comments Cox Pond Mitigation Bank Parcel (DWR # 2020-1942 v2) Wayne County, NC Dear Ms. Merritt: Wildlands Engineering, Inc. (Wildlands) has reviewed the Division of Water Resources (DWR) comments dated February 23, 2022 for the Draft Bank Parcel Development Plan (BPDP) for the Cox Pond Mitigation Bank Parcel. The DWR comments are listed below in bold, while Wildlands' responses are noted in italic lettering. 1. Section 1.1- Add that this WUP is a requirement of the certified Animal Feeding Operation associated with permit #AWS960144 issued by the Division of Water Resources. The correction has been made. 2. Section 2.2 — Existing conditions should call out the unstable banks, sink holes, and active erosion noted in the site viability letter. Add language to this section speaking to that, if you know where those areas are along the UTs, then add call outs on a supporting figure. The correction has been made. 3. Table2 — Report in ft2 and update total credits after updating Table 9. The correction has been made. 4. Section 2.3 — Also reference Table 9 in addition to Figure 7 since that is where you show the deductions? The correction has been made. 5. Section 2.11— DWR approved the new WUP? Do you have documentation supporting that? It is not normally a formal "approval" from DWR so unless you have documentation that DWR approved the WUP, remove this text. On a side note, I have already followed up with DWR staff about this WUP and verbally they have said its fine and complies with all the numbers in the permit. Wording has been adjusted to note only the new WUP is included in the appendices. 6. Table 8 — There should be at least one subcanopy species in this plan. Our understanding is that a Persimmon may be a canopy or subcanopy tree depending on its environment. It is shade tolerant and can grow as an understory species so, as requested, it has been changed to be listed as Subcanopy, along with Sweetbay Magnolia which can also be an understory species.

Section 7.0 — Text implies no buffer credit on east side of UT4 where width is only 30 feet. Modify language to provide clarity here. Indicate no NOC can be generated in areas where riparian restoration is less than 50 feet. The verbiage has been modified for clarification. 8. Section 7.0 — Add a statement that the total amount of credits that can be converted from riparian buffer credit to nutrient offset is represented in Table 9 and will be documented in the As -built report. This statement has been added. 9. Table 9: There are comments made on Figure 7 that will result in changes needed to the crediting areas on this table. Table 9 has been updated in accordance with the edits requested on Figure 7. 10. Figure 7 — a. The measurement of widths for crediting purposes is to be taken perpendicular and landward from top of bank of the feature since that is our policy for measuring as per the MBI. Only the radius should be included when the feature origin begins on the property and has no other features coming into it. Therefore, remove the radius off UT3 at Ditch C origin and change buffer to nutrient offset within that area. The changes have been made to Figure 7. b. Remove the radius off UT3 at Ditch C origin and change buffer to nutrient offset within that area. The changes have been made to Figure 7. c. If Ditch A continues above the CE boundary, the diffused flow deductions need to be applied the same way as on Ditch B. Ditch A starts 50 feet north of and within the CE boundary; therefore, the diffused flow deduction was not applied to the credits on Ditch A. 11. Figure 8: Make edits based on comments on Figure 7. Figure 8 has been updated in accordance with the edits requested on Figure 7. 12. Figure 9: Make edits based on comments on Figure 7. Figure 9 has been updated in accordance with the edits requested on Figure 7. 13. Wildlands Note: The conservation easement was straightened along the eastern boundary of UT1 based on the landowner's request. There was also a small easement adjustment at the downstream section of UT1 and UT3 to align the easement with the property line provided by the surveyor. All figures and credit tables have been adjusted accordingly. The final BPDP has been uploaded to the Laserfiche system. Please contact me at 704-560-2997 if you have any questions or concerns.

The Parcel shall be planned and designed according to the UMBI, 15A NCAC 02B .0703, and the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295. The project is in Wayne County approximately two and a half miles northwest of Mount Olive, North Carolina (Figure 1). Directions are included on Figure 1. The Parcel creates a protected riparian area from top of bank to a minimum of 30 feet along streams, or 50 feet along ditches, to a maximum of 200 feet along four unnamed tributaries and three ditches. The primary purpose of the project is to provide riparian buffer mitigation credits and nutrient offset credits to compensate for unavoidable impacts in the Neuse River Basin 03020201 Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) outside the Falls Lake Watershed (Figure 2). The Parcel is located within the Neuse River Basin HUC 03020201170050 and NCDWR Subbasin 03- 04-12 in Wayne County. 1.1 Parcel Description The project features flow to Brooks Swamp off site, which then connects with Thoroughfare Swamp. Thoroughfare Swamp subsequently flows to Falling Creek and finally into the Neuse River. Brooks Swamp, Thoroughfare Swamp, and Falling Creek are all classified as Water Supply IV (WS-IV) and Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW) by the NCDWR. The proposed project supports specific goals identified in the Neuse River Basin Restoration Priorities (RBRP) by promoting "nutrient and sediment reduction in agricultural areas by restoring and preserving wetlands, streams, and riparian buffers". This riparian mitigation project will reduce sediment and nutrient loading, provide and improve terrestrial and instream habitats, and improve stream and bank stability. The area surrounding the streams proposed for mitigation is predominantly agricultural fields, typically used to grow corn, soybeans, and tobacco. See Appendix A for July 2021 current land use photographs. Permitted direct application of hog waste from a lagoon located offsite was previously used for fertilizer on the field adjacent to Ditch C and UT3. This Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) is a requirement of the certified Animal Feeding Operation Association and permit #AWS960144 was issued by NCDWR. With the start of this project, the WUP was amended to exclude the entire application field (See Figure 3 and Appendix E). Restoring the riparian area up to 200 feet from the streams and ditches will reduce nutrient and sediment inputs in the tributaries to Brooks and Thoroughfare Swamps, and subsequently Falling Creek and the Neuse River. The restored floodplain areas will filter sediment during high rainfall events and provide cover and food for wildlife throughout the Parcel. Cox Pond Mitigation Bank Parcel HUC 03020201 Page 1 BPDP March 2022 2.0 Mitigation Project Summary 2.1 Project Goals The major goals of the proposed buffer and nutrient offset mitigation project are to provide ecological and water quality enhancements to the Neuse River Basin by restoring the riparian area to create a functional riparian corridor. Specific enhancements to water quality and ecological processes are outlined below in Table 1. Table 1: Ecological and Water Quality Goals Goals Objectives Decrease nutrient levels. Nutrient input will be decreased by filtering runoff from the agricultural fields through restored native vegetation. The off -site nutrient input will also be 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. Decrease water temperature and increase dissolved oxygen concentrations. Planted riparian trees will shade the project features as they mature, reducing thermal pollution. Reduce fecal coliform inputs. Fecal coliform input will be reduced by restricting the application of animal waste within the conservation easement. Converting fertilized cropland to forest will filter runoff from the adjacent fields through the planting vegetated buffers. Create appropriate terrestrial habitat. Riparian areas will be restored by treating invasive vegetation and planting native vegetation. Permanently protect the project Parcel from harmful uses. A conservation easement will be recorded on the Parcel. 2.2 Existing Parcel Conditions The proposed buffer mitigation and nutrient offset project includes approximately 23.5 acres of open row crop fields and forest land along four unnamed tributaries (UT1, UT2, UT3, and UT4), and three ditches (Ditches A, B, and C). The fields are typically planted with corn or soybeans adjacent to project streams and ditches. The Parcel easement boundary will extend from top of bank to at least 30 feet along streams, at least 50 feet along ditches, and out to 200 feet where possible (Figure 3). UT1 flows north; it enters the Parcel and is then bordered by active agricultural fields to its confluence with UT2. An area where scour has occurred is along the west side of UT1 upstream of its confluence with UT2. UT1 continues through a narrow -forested buffer for approximately another 500 feet to meet with UT3. UT2 forms from a groundwater seep at the confluence of Ditch A and a second ditch coming from offsite, becoming an intermittent stream. An area where scour has occurred is along the southeast side of UT2 upstream of its confluence with UT1. Ditch A and UT2 are bordered on both sides for their entire lengths by agriculture fields. Ditch C becomes UT3, an intermittent stream, and flows southeast through an active agricultural field to the confluence with UT1. The field bordering Ditch C and UT3 was fertilized by a hog lagoon spray outlet until June 2021 when waste application in the area was a Cox Pond Mitigation Bank Parcel HUC 03020201 Page 2 BPDP March 2022 discontinued to allow for this project's conservation easement. At the time the Proposal was written, there was a small offline pond located near the confluence of UT3 with UT1 which is still seen on the aerial photography, but it has since been filled. UT4 is an intermittent stream that begins off site and flows into the easement from an existing culvert at Country Club Road. It flows north, surrounded by crop fields, and continues off site. Ditch B flows east to its confluence with UT4, bordered by a residential mobile home park to the north and agricultural fields to the south. The Parcel is characterized by gently sloped valleys of agriculture fields. In general, this area has maintained its rural, farming character over the last 60 years with only minor changes in land cover (see historical aerials in Appendix B). The consistency in land use within the project watershed indicates that processes affecting hydrology, sediment supply, and nutrient and pollutant delivery have not varied widely over this time period. With a lack of developmental pressure, watershed processes and stressors from outside the project limits are likely to remain consistent throughout the implementation, monitoring, and closeout of this project.

NCDWR also performed an onsite visit of the project area to determine viability for buffer mitigation and nutrient offset on April 15, 2021 and issued a site viability letter on May 19, 2021. Eleven features were assessed by NCDWR during the April 15th site visit, four features were deemed viable to generate buffer credits and three were deemed viable for nutrient offset credits only. The Buffer Interpretation/Clarification Memo #2008-019 applies to Ditches B and C where maintenance of diffuse flow into the conservation easement is unattainable. The reduction in credit from the memo being applied is documented in Table 9 below and Figure 7. There have been no changes to land use in the project area since NCDWR's 2021 site visits. 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 NCDWR are included in Appendix C and summarized in Table 3.

The proposed project is in compliance in the following ways: Preservation on Subject Streams (15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(5): • The buffer width is at least 30 feet from the stream (See Figure 8 for buffer zones). The minimum width of riparian areas on this site is 50 feet from top of banks. • 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 2.21 and Appendix D for an EDR Radius Report summary). • Mitigation credits for preservation are being requested on no more than 25% of the total area of buffer mitigation (See Table 9 for credit calculations). 2.5 Watershed Characterization The Parcel is located within the HUC 03020201170050. All project features drain to Brooks Swamp off site, which then connects with Thoroughfare Swamp. Thoroughfare Swamp subsequently flows to Falling Creek and finally into the Neuse River. Brooks Swamp, Thoroughfare Swamp, and Falling Creek are all classified as WS-IV and NSW by the NCDWR. Waters designated as WS-IV are sources of water for drinking or food processing in moderately to highly developed watersheds. These waters are also protected for Class C uses, which includes 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. Topography, as indicated on the Mount Olive USGS 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle, shows gently sloped areas throughout the Parcel (Figure 4). A portion of UT1, downstream of the project area, is depicted as a stream on the USGS Topographic Map. Drainage areas were delineated using the USGS Cox Pond Mitigation Bank Parcel HUC 03020201 Page 4 BPDP March 2022 Stream Stats website and the North Carolina Floodplain Mapping Program's 2014-2015 Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data. Land uses draining to the project streams are primarily agricultural with some wetlands and forested areas. The watershed areas and current land use around project streams are depicted in Figure 5, the current land use photographs in Appendix A, and are summarized in Table 4 below. Table 4: Drainage Areas and Associated Land Use Reach Name Watershed Area (acres) Land Use UT1 172 60% agriculture; 7% wetlands; 6% forest; 11% grassland; 6% developed; 10% shrubland; <1% impervious area UT2 41 77% agriculture; 12% grassland; 10% developed; <1% shrubland; <1% impervious area UT3 22 97% agriculture, 2% forest, 1% developed UT4 107 59% agriculture; 4% wetlands; 8% forest; 8% developed; 20% shrubland; 1% impervious area 2.6 Soils The proposed Parcel is mapped by the Wayne County Soil Survey. The project area soils are described below in Table 5. UT1 and UT2 are depicted as streams on the NRCS 1974 Soil Survey provided in Figure 6.

One listed endangered species and two species proposed for listing as endangered or threatened were identified: the red -cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), the Neuse River waterdog (Necturus lewisi), and Carolina madtom (Noturus furiosus). Wildlands performed a pedestrian survey of the project parcel on January 7, 2021. It was determined that there is 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 packet and the USFWS response letter agreeing with the determinations are included in Appendix D. Cox Pond Mitigation Bank Parcel HUC 03020201 Page 6 BPDP March 2022 2.9 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). SHPO was contacted with request for review and comment on January 29, 2021. SHPO responded on March 12, 2021 that they "are aware of no historic resources which would be affected by the project" and have no comment on the project as it is currently proposed. The SHPO request and response are included in Appendix D. 2.10 FEMA Floodplain Compliance The Parcels are not located in a FEMA floodplain so a floodplain development permit will not be required. No hydraulic modeling is proposed for this project. 2.11 Parcel Location, Parcel Constraints, and Access The project area is split into two sections which are both easily accessible, one via a dirt access road off Cox Pond Road and the other via Country Club Road. Within each section, there are no easement breaks or internal crossings. There are multiple overhead utility easements on the project properties, all located outside of the proposed conservation easement. The offline pond along UT3, upstream of the confluence with UT1 shown on Figure 3, has been removed and covered with topsoil (See Figure 3 and Appendix A). The field north of UT3 and Ditch C was used for hog waste application until June 2021. The parcel has been removed from the Waste Utilization Plan, the associated permit has been adjusted, and the new plan approved by NCDWR. A copy of the new plan has been included in Appendix E for reference. 2.12 Other Environmental Conditions An EDR Radius Map Report with Geocheck was ordered for the Parcel through Environmental Data Resources, Inc. on September 4, 2020. 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 Appendix D. 3.0 Site Protection Instrument The land required for planting, management, and stewardship of the mitigation project includes portions of the parcels listed in Table 7. The Parcel will remain in private ownership, protected in its entirety by an approved NCDWR long term steward, and will be managed under the terms detailed in an approved NCDWR conservation easement. Table7: Site Protection Instrument Site Deed Book Acreage Landowner PIN County Protection and Page to be Instrument Number Protected 2574-33-4662 Jackson Farming Company, LLC 2574 42 0745 2574-41-3713 Wayne Conservation Easement To Be Recorded 23.5 2574-32-3190 Cox Pond Mitigation Bank Parcel HUC 03020201 Page 7 BPDP March 2022 4.0 Mitigation Work Plan The project will restore agriculturally impacted land along UT1-UT4 and Ditch A-C on the Parcel to a protected riparian corridor, improving the ecological function of the area. Figure 7 illustrates the buffer credit areas and conceptual design; Figure 8 depicts the riparian buffer zones for the Parcel. 4.1 Parcel Preparation The land within the project parcels has been cleared and maintained for row crop cultivation except for the recently filled pond near the confluence of UT1 and UT3 and a small, forested area along UT1. Areas slated for restoration will require little site preparation because the land has been cleared and maintained for agriculture; therefore, soil disturbance during planting of the project will be minimal. Along UT1 and on the downstream end of UT2 where sink holes or active erosion are observed, minor grading will be completed, erosion control matting installed, and live stakes planted as necessary. The disturbed areas will be seeded immediately for soil stabilization with a mixture of native grasses and forbs. Soil samples will also be collected and analyzed prior to planting to determine if soil preparation is necessary to support herbaceous and planted stem success. Additionally, during the spring of 2022, the condition of herbaceous cover prior to the establishment of row crops will be visually assessed across the Parcel. If herbaceous vegetation does not appear to grow naturally, Wildlands will note the areas of deficiency and seed them the following spring of 2023. 4.2 Riparian Area Restoration Activities Riparian area restoration will involve planting appropriate native tree species along the riparian corridor. Vegetation management and herbicide applications may be needed over the first few years of tree establishment in the riparian restoration areas to prevent encroachment of undesirable species that may out -compete the planted native vegetation. Tree species planted across the riparian areas of the Parcel will include a mixture of at least 8 species listed in Table 8 below. Table 8: Selected Tree Species Species Common Name Density Forest Strata Betula nigra River Birch 15% Canopy Platanus occidentalis American Sycamore 15% Canopy Acer negundo Boxelder 10% Canopy Diospyros virginiana Common Persimmon 10% Subcanopy Populus deltoides Eastern Cottonwood 10% Canopy Quercus michauxii Swamp Chestnut Oak 10% Canopy Quercus pagoda Cherrybark Oak 10% Canopy Celtis laevigata Sugarberry 5% Canopy Magnolia virginiana Sweetbay Magnolia 5% Subcanopy Prunus serotina Black Cherry 5% Canopy Cox Pond Mitigation Bank Parcel HUC 03020201 Page 8 BPDP March 2022 Species Common Name Density Forest Strata Ulmus americana American Elm 5% Canopy Trees will be spaced at 7 feet by 12 feet during planting, which is equivalent to a stem density of 521 stems per acre and is 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. At least 8 of the 11 species listed in Table 7 will be planted, and stems will be well mixed prior to planting to ensure diversity of bare root species across the Parcel. Due to the nature of random mixing, some stems of the same species might be planted together in some areas. No one tree species will be greater than 50% of the established stems. A regionally appropriate seed mix of warm season grasses and wildflowers will also be applied to provide temporary and permanent ground cover for soil stabilization and reduction of sediment loss during rain events in areas without existing herbaceous cover. The proposed planting area includes the areas identified as Riparian Restoration for Buffer Credits and Riparian Restoration for Nutrient Offset Credits on Figure 7. Planting is scheduled for December 2022. 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). The sections of mature forest along UT1 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 NCDWR As -Built Evaluation Within 30 calendar days after completing the establishment of the buffer mitigation and nutrient offset areas, the Sponsor will submit written notification to NCDWR documenting that all buffer mitigation and nutrient offset activities have been completed. Failure to submit written notification within 30 days may result in a modified credit release schedule or a delay in the issuance of credit releases. 5.0 Monitoring and Maintenance Plan 5.1 Monitoring Protocol Permanent vegetation monitoring plots will be installed and evaluated within the restoration areas to measure the survival of the planted trees. A total of 18 plots will be randomly placed such that the plots are representative of the riparian restoration 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 (Lee et al., 2008). A reference photo will be taken from the southwestern corner of each of the 18 plots. Overview photos will be taken each monitoring year and provided in the annual reports. All planted stems will be marked with flagging tape and recorded. 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 four 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 Cox Pond Mitigation Bank Parcel HUC 03020201 Page 9 BPDP March 2022 at the end of the fifth year of monitoring. Appropriate and desirable native volunteer species may be included in the Parcel's density to meet the performance standards with written 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 UMBI. 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. 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. 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. 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 Easement boundaries will be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between the Parcel and adjacent properties. Boundaries may be identified by marker, post, tree -blazing, or other means as allowed by site conditions and/or conservation easement prior to the NCDWR onsite As -Built evaluation for Task 2 credit release. 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. 6.0 Financial Assurance and Long -Term Management 6.1 Financial Assurances Following approval of the Cox Pond 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 aCox Pond Mitigation Bank Parcel HUC 03020201 Page 10 BPDP March 2022 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 steward, and will be managed under the terms detailed in an approved NCDWR conservation easement. The long-term manager will be chosen prior to monitoring year 4 and will be responsible for periodic inspection of the Parcel to ensure that the restrictions documented in the recorded easement are upheld in perpetuity. 7.0 Potential Credit Generation Of the 23.5 acres protected under the conservation easement, the mitigation approach for 21.6 acres is riparian restoration. Of that 21.6 acres of restoration, 9.6 acres are proposed for buffer mitigation credit and 12.0 acres are proposed for nutrient offset credit. Buffer preservation credits are also proposed on 0.27 acres within the conservation easement. The Buffer Interpretation/Clarification Memo #2008-019 applies to Ditches B and C where maintenance of diffuse flow into the easement is unattainable. Other areas within the conservation easement where no credit is claimed include areas which are over 200 feet from top of bank, the project feature channels, and the area which is less than 50 feet from top of bank along Ditch C. The credit calculations were derived based on Wildlands' conceptual design for maximum ecological uplift. The management objectives, mitigation type, and proposed amount of buffer mitigation are presented in Tables 9 and 10 below. The riparian restoration areas are viable for either riparian buffer credits or nutrient offset credits. However, on this parcel, Wildlands is seeking Riparian Buffer Credit from areas within top of bank to 100 feet along UT1-3 and the west side of UT4. These credits can be converted to Nutrient Offset Credits only upon receiving written approval by NCDWR. Wildlands is also seeking Riparian Buffer Credit on the east side of UT4 where the buffer width is 30 feet from top of bank, these credits cannot be converted to Nutrient Offset. Wildlands is seeking Nutrient Offset Credits in riparian restoration areas from 101-200 feet from top of bank along streams and from top of bank to 200 feet along ditches. Riparian restoration areas dedicated to Nutrient Offset Credits on this parcel beyond 100 feet will not be convertible to Riparian Buffer Credits per the UMBI. The total credit amount convertible to Nutrient Offset is represented in Table 9 below and will be documented in the As -Built Report. There will be three credit ledgers for the project: Buffer Restoration, Buffer Preservation, and Nitrogen Nutrient Offset Credits.

Olive (near 35.234024, -78.079889) Neuse 03020201 Wayne County Dear Ms. Eckardt, On March 22, 2021, Katie Merritt, with the Division of Water Resources (DWR), received a request from you on behalf of Wildlands Engineering, Inc (Wildlands) 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 conservation easement boundary, which is more accurately depicted in the attached map labeled "Figure 1-Site Map" (Figure 1) prepared by Wildlands. The proposed easement boundary in Figure 1, includes all riparian areas intended to be proposed as part of the mitigation site. On April 15, 2021, Ms. Merritt performed a site assessment of the subject site. Staff with Wildlands were also present. The site visit revealed the following site constraints: • UTILITIES: A utility easement was observed crossing the site. The utility easement shall not be within a conservation easement or within riparian areas where buffer mitigation or nutrient offset credits are proposed to be generated. • PERMITS: An Animal Feeding Operation (AFO) permit is associated with this property. The permit associated with this property is#AWS960144 and allows for some or all the property to be used for the land application of animal waste per an approved Waste Utilization Plan issued by the DWR. o Application of animal waste will not be permitted within a conservation easement or within riparian areas where buffer mitigation or nutrient offset credits are proposed to be generated. o All riparian areas proposed to be placed in a conservation easement must be removed from the Waste Utilization Plan. o Written approval by DWR of any modification to the existing Waste Utilization Plan and/or the applicable permit will be required prior to approval of the riparian areas to generate buffer mitigation or nutrient offset credits. • EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE: Existing underground and above ground infrastructure may be present and is likely for purposes of irrigating the property for the land application of animal waste associated with permit#AWS960144.

A Site Map is enclosed. The site is located at latitude 35.237458 longitude-78.082288. The Cox Pond Mitigation Bank Parcel is being developed to provide riparian buffer and nutrient offset mitigation in the Neuse River basin.The project will include buffer restoration along four unnamed tributaries and three ditches that flow to Lee Branch. One existing off-line pond will be removed.This buffer mitigation 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 and channels proposed for buffer restoration is currently row crop agricultural fields. Restoring the vegetative buffer on the areas up to 200 feet from the streams and ditches will remove the crops and fertilizer inputs within the project area.The restored floodplain areas will filter sediment during high rainfall events.The establishment of riparian buffers will create shading to minimize thermal heating. Finally, newly planted native vegetation will provide cover and food for wildlife. 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. Waters of the United States 404/401 permitting is not required for this buffer mitigation site as construction activities will only involve planting riparian vegetation and will not impact project streams or downstream resources. 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.

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 12/14/2020 Event Code: 04EN2000-2021-E-00798 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.

WILD LANDS ENGINEERING January 29,2021 Renee Gledhill-Earley State Historic Preservation Office 4617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-4617 Subject:Cox Pond Mitigation Bank Parcel Wayne County, North Carolina 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 restoration project on the Cox Pond Mitigation Bank Parcel located in Wayne County, NC.An Overview Site Map and a USGS Topographic Map showing the approximate project area are enclosed.The topographic figure was prepared from the Mount Olive 7.5-Minute USGS Topographic Quadrangle,and the site is located at latitude 35.237458 longitude-78.082288. The Cox Pond Mitigation Bank Parcel is being developed to provide riparian buffer and nutrient offset mitigation in the Neuse River Basin.The project will include restoration and preservation of four unnamed tributaries and three ditches that flow to Lee Branch.With the exception of one tributary containing a small corridor of established forest vegetation on the downstream end,the streams and ditches onsite have little to no existing riparian buffers. Most of the surrounding area of the project features is open agricultural land, used primarily to grow row crops, both currently and historically. The major goals of the riparian buffer and nutrient offset mitigation bank project are to provide ecological and water quality enhancements to the Neuse River Basin while creating a functional riparian corridor at the site level. This will be accomplished by restoring and or preserving the vegetative buffer on the areas up to 200 feet from streams and ditches,along with permanently preserving and protecting the site through establishing a conservation easement. The nearest site on the National Register of Historic Places is the location of the now demolished Vernon Federal 2- story house(WY0006) located approximately one mile southwest.This site will not be disturbed for the proposed project. No other architectural structures or archaeological artifacts have been observed or noted during preliminary surveys of the site for restoration purposes.We ask that you review the site based on the attached information to determine the presence of any historic properties within the conservation easement area proposed as shown on Figures 1 and 2. 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.

Mt. Olive NC 28365 Phone: 919-658-5241 Type of Operation: Feed-Finish Number of Animal: 4823 Storage Structure: Anaerobic Lagoon Method of Application: Irrigation Amount of waste produced per year: 9164 ton/year Amount of plant available N (PAN) produced/year: 8199 lbs./year The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in the implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils , when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may in runoff to the surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crops production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different applications methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which Dexter Jackson 27 & 28 Page 2 could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and the crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. Dexter Jackson 27 & 28 Page 3 The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen. In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc. interseeded in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing, hay and for silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain etc. is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain to reach materity, especially late in the season ( i.e. April or May) Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definitely interfere with the stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the time small grain is planted in the fall. The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc. is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results. Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying summer annuals under stressed conditions. Nitrate poisoning may occur in livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is recommended. Acres shown in the tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filters strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the field listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. SLUDGE APPLICATION: The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 1736 lbs. of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove sludge every 5 years you will have approximately 8681 lbs. of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 lbs/acre you will need 29 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 lbs. of nitrogen per acre you will need 69 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estmates of the PAN and the land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on the sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity Dexter Jackson 27 &28 Page 4 of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrrigate the acres shown in tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts. Tract No. Field No. Soil Type Crop Appllo. Applic.

In many situations the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitations. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions. Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6 months. 1n no instances should the volume of the waste be stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is the responsibility of the producer and the waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates shown in the tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Call your technical specialist after you have receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to appling the waste. NARRATIVE OF OPERATION Change of plan to remove pull 2 to allow for Wildland conservation easement. Dexter Jackson 27 &28 Page 6 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste , he/she shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG standard 393 - Filter Strip). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See"Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate that runoff does not occur offsite or to the surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potentual for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residenrial property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393- Filter Strips). Dexter Jackson 27 & 28 Page 7 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by he landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by discharge or by over-spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegtation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced as necessary to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidences of erosion, leakage or discharge. 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan"which will eliminate the possibility of an illigal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, piping pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetation and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied pre-plant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and the bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate-determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metal approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five (5) years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.
