Jamey McEachran 1 llefileitha MEMORANDUM Ores 3600 Glenwood Avenue, Suite 100 Raleigh, North Carolina 27612 919.770.5573 tel. 919.829.9913 fax TO: Katie Merritt, Department of Water Resources FROM: JAMEY MCEACHRAN — RES DATE: MAY 24, 2022 RE: Response to Draft Mitigation Plan Comments - Pickle Creek Phase II Mitigation Project (DWR 2021-0348v3) Neuse River 03020201; Wayne County, NC Katie Merritt - NCDWR: 1. Add a DWR ID # on the title page. The number is 2021-0348v3. The title page has been updated with the DWR ID#. 2. Photos provided in Section 2 are dated August 2020 and do not adequately represent "existing" conditions upon submittal of the mitigation plan. Provided more current photos of the riparian areas and features. Updated photos have been added to this section. 3. Modify Figure 3 to show areas where the land application of animal waste is currently permitted. Then, reference Figure 3 where appropriate. A Figure 3b was created to show the areas within the project easement that were permitted for land application, prior to the updating of the Waste Utilization Plan. Figure 3b is now referenced where appropriate. 4. In Section 1.2, ephemeral channels are not considered to be 'unnamed tributaries" just Intermittent and Perennial channels get this classification. Make sure to use stream, ephemeral channel and ditch when describing the features within the project boundary or that are draining into the project boundary such as D2. Section 1.2 has been updated to state "one unnamed stream tributary, two ephemeral channels, and one ditch" are within the project boundary. Additionally, "stream, ephemeral channel and ditch" are used when describing the features throughout the plan. 5. RES needs to reference the site viability letter issued by DWR and that the letter indicated certain criteria that would need to be addressed prior to using this land as a mitigation site. What were those criteria, and then add a reference to Section 4.2.3 where it appears those criteria are further explained. I have provided further comments in 4.2.3 as well. Section 3.5 has been updated to include the constraints referenced within the site viability letter. References to section 4.2.3 are now also present. 6. Add language to this section that describes what documentation will be submitted with the As - built Report confirming full compliance with the criteria indicated in the site viability letter. This documentation should be any and all approvals from DWR related to permits affiliated with the project and Waste plans. There are two permits affiliated with this land proposed for the DMS project (AWS960127 and AW1960127). Add that the provider will consult with DWR staff within the Certified Animal Feeding Operation Branch of the Water Quality Permitting Section. Language has been added to Section 3.5 that describes the constraints around the Project and the necessary documentation required with the As -Built Report. A paragraph was added to this section to describe constraints with the two permits associated with the project and the process to remove the easement area from the Waste Utilization Plan. 7. It needs to be noted in this section, that site preparation also includes activities related to activities described in 4.2.3 considering many of these activities are required to be done prior to riparian restoration activities as indicated in the Site Viability Letter. Site preparation for this site doesn't just include land prep for planting...but also includes hydrant removals, infrastructure capping and deadheading, etc. However, if these things will be done as part of the DMS project, then speak to that hear. If there are still things that need to be done within the project boundary specific to this bank, then speak to that as well. Language has been added to section 4.1, that these activities are required to be completed prior to riparian restoration activities. Language was also added to clarify what activities are part of the DMS project versus the bank project. 8. Change "Streams" to "Streams & Ephemerals". Ephemeral channels and "streams" are referred to differently in our buffer mitigation rule (and buffer protection rule 0714), therefore it is important to use correct terminology of features within the project boundary throughout the Plan. Language was changed to say "Streams and Ephemerals" to use the correct terminology of features. 9. Modify sentence to read..."riparian restoration activities as defined and described in the Consolidated....". Remove reference to 0703 in this sentence. Modify next sentence to read..."Nutrient offset credits generated from riparian restoration activities will comply with the Nutrient Offset Credit Trading Rule...." These sentences were modified per the comments. 10. Add more description here that the riparian restoration activities actually don't start at top of bank for the whole project. There is a DMS project that includes Top of bank along many features proposed in this BPDP, so please be specific here as to where the riparian restoration will start on J1, D2, for the Bank. Language was added to indicate the restoration activities start at 100' from the top of bank on J1 and D4. Other language was added to indicate that riparian restoration activities will start at the top of bank along D2 and extend out a maximum of 200'. 11. 0703 is used incorrectly here. 0703 does not include anything about ephemerals. The Nutrient Offset Trading Rule 15A NCAC 02b .0703 was removed. 12. Modify sentence to read..."the entire area proposed for riparian restoration to generate nutrient offset credit" along reach D4. Sentence was modified to be "the entire area proposed for riparian restoration to generate nutrient offset credit". 13. should this be Figure 8 instead of 7? Figure reference was changed to 8 instead of 7. 14. Add, "and is generating nutrient offset credit in accordance with the Nutrient Offset " Note: riparian restoration is not mentioned in the Nutrient Offset Trading rule, only in the Buffer 0295 rule. So, we have to reword that sentence as to make sure there aren't incorrect references to rules. Language was added to reference how nutrient offset credit is generated. 15. Add a note that most of these activities will done during the Site Preparation stage. Language added to indicate that these activities will be done during the Stie Preparation stage. 16. Where are the two small ditches referenced in this sentence? Callouts were added to Figures 3a and Figure 7 to show where these ditches are located. 17. Reference Figure 3 here and modify Figure 3 to show all the land areas that are in the waste utilization plan as of the date of this BPDP submittal. A Figure 3b was created to show all land areas that were in the original waste utilization plan but have since been removed as found in the newly added Appendix E. Figure 3b was then referenced here. 18. Make sure to explain the planting plan as the Planted Area represented in supporting figure 10. not all planting will begin from TOB. Language was added to explain that the planting plan is represented in Figure 10. And more descriptions were included to explain that not all planting will begin at the TOB. 19. What performance standards outlined in Rule 0703 are you referring to? This sentence removed the Nutrient Offset Credit Trading Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0703, as there are no performance standards in this rule and replaced it with the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule. 20. Add language to this section stating that the easement boundaries will be marked before the DWR site visit for Task 2. Language was added to state that easement boundaries will be marked prior to the DWR site visit for Task 2. 21. Add a new section titled 4.5 Additional Documentation. In this new section add language that describes what documentation will be submitted with the As -built Report confirming full compliance with the criteria indicated in the site viability letter. This documentation should be any and all approvals from DWR related to permits affiliated with the project and Waste plans. There are two permits affiliated with this land proposed for the DMS project (AWS960127 and AW1960127). Add that the provider will consult with DWR staff within the Certified Animal Feeding Operation Branch of the Water Quality Permitting Section when securing the necessary documentation. A new section, 4.5, was added to discuss additional documentation that will be submitted with the As -Built Report. Language was also added that RES will consult with DWR staff within the Certified Animal Feeding Operation Branch of the Water Quality Permitting Section for necessary documentation. 22. Remove "riparian buffer mitigation credits" from the first sentence. Removed "riparian buffer mitigation credits" and changed to "nutrient offset credits". 23. Include language noting that EBX will have a backup if stewardship falls through. Language indicating that EBX, LLC will have a backup land steward has been added. 24. Revise second sentence to read as follows: "All nutrient offset credits will be derived from riparian restoration activities. Second sentence was revised to suggested sentence. 25. The description of where the nutrient offset credits will be generated adjacent to J1, D2 and D4 are not accurate, in that these credits are not all being generated within 0-200'. Correct this to match the supporting figures. The descriptions of how nutrient offset credits are being generated was changed to match supporting figures. 26. Add language that speaks to the fact that these nutrient offset credits are neither convertible nor transferrable to riparian buffer credits. This is a nutrient offset only bank with a nutrient offset only MBI. Language has been added to indicate that this is a nutrient offset only bank with a nutrient offset only MBI. 27. Remove fields in these cells. These cells have been edited to remove any values 28. This column needs to be corrected to show "NO" in all rows. This Bank is not being proposed as a buffer credit bank. All rows have been changed to say "NO". 29. Remove fields in these cells. These cells have been edited to remove any values. 30. Depict land areas that are used for land -application up to the submittal of this BPDP on Figure 3 and Figure 6. A Figure 3b has been created to show any land areas being used for land -application. 31. On Figure 3, Where are these two ditches along D2 according to Section 4.2.3? Callouts have been created to show where these two ditches are located along D2. 32. On Figure 6, Depict land areas that are used for land -application up to the submittal of this BPDP. Show the two hydrants referenced in 4.2.3 that will be removed? A Figure 3b has been created to show any land areas being used for land -application. The two hydrants being removed are now shown as a different symbols on Figure 6. 33. Show existing infrastructure that is staying vs being removed. Any existing infrastructure is shown as different symbols if staying or being removed.

This project is designed to provide nutrient offset credits for unavoidable impacts due to development within the Neuse River Basin, United States Geological Survey (USGS) 8-digit Cataloguing Unit 03020201 (Neuse 01), excluding Falls Lake Watershed (Figure 1). This Nutrient Offset Plan is in accordance with the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 and Nutrient Offset Credit Trading Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0703. The Project is being codeveloped with the proposed Pickle Creek Buffer Mitigation Project that is contracted with the NC Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) and will extend riparian areas associated with the DMS project. Li Parcel Location The Pickle Creek Phase II Nutrient Offset Project is within the Neuse River Basin within the 8-digit HUC 03020201, 14-digit HUC 030202011170030 and DWR Sub -basin Number 03-04-12. The Project is in Mount Olive in Wayne County, NC (Figure 1). To access the Project from the town of Mount Olive, travel north on Highway 117 for about a mile, then turn left on NC-55 W for 2.5 miles, then right on Thunder Swamp Rd, after 2 miles the destination will be on the left (Figure 2). The coordinates are 35.23175 -78.10784. 1.2 Parcel Overview The Pickle Creek Phase II Nutrient Offset Project consists of a conservation easement that will total approximately 10.59 acres that includes riparian area that is between 101-200 feet off of one unnamed stream tributary (J1) and one ephemeral channel (D4) and the riparian area off of one ditch (D2) from 0- 100 feet that drains into Thunder Swamp. Thunder Swamp is a USGS-named stream that eventually drains to the Neuse River. Current land use within the Project is strictly crop production which is irrigated with permitted land application of animal waste, (Figure 3a and 3b). Much of the Project area has been used extensively for agricultural purposes for at least 40 years (Figure 4). Water quality stressors currently affecting the Project include heavily manipulated/relocated and maintained stream channels, nutrient loadings from active crop production and use of animal waste land application for irrigation, and lack of forested and vegetated riparian areas. Current riparian area conditions demonstrate significant degradation with the loss of stabilizing vegetation because of continued crop production. The goal of the Project is to restore riparian areas by establishing appropriate plant communities while minimizing temporal and land disturbing impacts. Riparian area improvements will filter runoff from agricultural fields, thereby reducing nutrient and sediment loads to nearby channels and provide water quality benefit to the overall watershed. The Pickle Creek Phase II Nutrient Offset Project is composed of the riparian area of one intermittent/perennial stream, J1, one ephemeral reach, D4, and one ditch feature, D2 (Figure 3a). All streams have been straightened and are incised. Furthermore, only the fifty -foot riparian buffer of J1 was determined to be subject to the Neuse buffer protection rule, whereas D4 was determined to be an Pickle Creek Phase II Nutrient Offset Project Bank Parcel Development Package 3 May 2022 ephemeral stream and therefore not subject to the Neuse buffer protection rules ("non -subject"). D2 was determined to be a ditch. Stream determinations were verified by the DWR during a site visit on March 10th, 2021. The DWR Stream Determination Letter is provided in Appendix A. Riparian restoration efforts along the Project stream, ephemeral channel, and ditch will be accomplished through the planting, establishment, and protection of a hardwood forest community. The result will be a riparian area that functions to mitigate nutrient and sediment inputs from the surrounding uplands. This BPDP is being submitted for review under the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule (15A NCAC 02B .0295) and Nutrient Offset Credit Trading Rule (15A NCAC 02B .0703). DWR performed a site viability assessment for buffer mitigation and nutrient offset on April 17th, 2021. This correspondence is provided in Appendix A. The Project will provide significant functional uplift to the project watershed. The Project presents the opportunity to provide Nutrient Offset credits. These will be derived from restoration of the riparian areas. The nutrient offset credits will be produced by establishing a native forested and herbaceous riparian plant community and protecting these riparian areas in perpetuity with a conservation easement. The new plant community will be established in conjunction with the treatment of existing exotic or undesirable plant species. 1.2.1 Parcel Ownership The land required for the construction, management, and stewardship of this mitigation project includes a portion of the parcel listed below in Table 1. EBX, LLC (an entity of RES) will record a conservation easement from the current landowner for the project area. The Wilmington District Conservation Easement model template will be utilized to draft the site protection instrument. Once recorded, the secured easement will allow EBX, LLC to proceed with the Project development and protect the nutrient offset assets in perpetuity. Once finalized, a copy of the land protection instrument(s) will be included in Appendix B. Table 1. Parcel and Landowner Information Landowner Pin or Tax Parcel ID Agreement Type County Douglas Allen Jernigan 2564319379 Conservation Easement Wayne Pickle Creek Phase II Nutrient Offset Project Bank Parcel Development Package 4 May 2022 2 EXISTING CONDITIONS 2.1.1 Surface Water Classification The primary stream feature of the Project, J1, eventually drains to Thunder Swamp just downstream of the project easement. Thunder Swamp has been assigned class C and Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW). Class C waters are protected for uses such as secondary recreation, fishing, wildlife, fish consumption, aquatic life including propagation, survival and maintenance of biological integrity, and agriculture. Secondary recreation includes wading, boating, and other uses involving human body contact with water where such activities take place in an infrequent, unorganized, or incidental manner. NSW designation is intended for waters needing additional nutrient management due to being subject to excessive growth of microscopic or macroscopic vegetation (NCDWQ 2011). 2.1.2 Physiography and Soils The Project is located within the Rolling Coastal Plain Level IV ecoregion within the Southeastern Plains Level III ecoregion and is characterized by greater relief, elevation, and stream gradients compared to the Mid -Atlantic Coastal Plain to the east. This ecoregion contains both dissected irregular and smooth plains, and low to moderate gradient sandy -bottomed streams that branch from broad interstream divides with steep to moderately gentle side slopes. The ecoregion also contains better drained soils and a slightly cooler and shorter growing season than the Mid -Atlantic Coastal Plain; however, it is still a productive agricultural region with typical crops of corn, soybeans, tobacco, cotton, sweet potatoes, peanuts, and wheat (Griffith et al., 2002). The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) County Soil Mapping depicts four soil series across the Project (Figure 5). All soils on -site are formed in loamy or loamy and sandy marine deposits. All soil series are mapped adjacent together. The project is dominated by Kenansville loamy sand, with the three other soils about equal in area. Rains sandy loam and Torhunta loam are considered hydric by the NRCS, while Lynchburg sandy loam have minor hydric inclusions. The specific soil map units are detailed in Table 2. Table 2. Project Mapped Soil Series Map Unit Map Unit Name Symbol Percent Drainage Hydrologic Landscape Hydric Class Soil Group Setting Ke Kenansville loamy sand 0% Well drained A Stream Terraces Ly Lynchburg sandy 8% Somewhat B/D Broad interstream divides on loam, 0 to 2 poorly well marine terraces, flats on marine percent slopes drained terraces Ra Rains sandy loam, 0 to 2 percent 90% Poorly drained A/D Flats on marine terraces, broad interstream divides on marine terraces, Carolina bays on marine terraces To Torhunta loam 90% Very poorly drained Depressions on stream terraces, A/D Carolina bays on marine terraces, flats on marine terraces Pickle Creek Phase II Nutrient Offset Project Bank Parcel Development Package 5 May 2022 2.1.3 Wetlands The Pickle Creek Phase II Nutrient Offset project area does not contain any wetlands according to preliminary site visits. National Wetland Inventory (NWI) mapping depicts one wetland within the Project area. This wetland, off the left bank of D2 (Figure 6). However, field observations indicate the depicted wetland does not exist. 2.1.4 Landscape Communities A. Existing Vegetation Communities Currently, the vegetative cover of the Project is primarily comprised of active cropland. Current crops onsite consist of corn and Miscanthus giganteus. However, the crop fields not in Miscanthus giganteus are regularly rotated between soybeans and corn. The forested areas adjacent to J1 and downstream of the Project are classified as mixed-mesic hardwood forest (Coastal Plain subtype). Common species within the adjacent forest include sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), red maple (Acer rubrum), water oak (Quercus nigra), willow oak (Quercus phellos), and some scattered loblolly pine (Pinus taeda). Invasive species were not observed within the Project at this time, however with the adjacency of the mixed hardwood forest and agricultural operations it can be assumed there are invasive species seed sources. B. Riparian Vegetation The current crop production around the Project is corn and about an 800-foot stretch of Miscanthus giganteus. Current conditions demonstrate significant habitat and water quality degradation with a loss of stabilizing vegetation as a result of impacts from ongoing crop production. There is no riparian buffer on the right bank of J1, but there is a mixed hardwood forest on the left bank, out of the Project area. Reach D4 has Miscanthus giganteus planted on the opposite bank as the project area. D2 has corn as its primary crop production around its banks. 2.1.5 Existing Conditions Photos Culvert Crossing on 11 March 17, 2022 Buffer Condition along D4 March 17, 2022 Pickle Creek Phase II Nutrient Offset Project Bank Parcel Development Package 6 May 2022 Origin of D2 March 17, 2022 Plastic Culvert Crossing on J1 March 17, 2022 Confluence of J1 and D1 March 17, 2022 Looking Upstream on D4 March 17, 2022 Pickle Creek Phase II Nutrient Offset Project Bank Parcel Development Package 7 May 2022 3 REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS 3.1 Threatened and Endangered Species Plants and animals with a federal classification of endangered or threatened are protected under provisions of Sections 7 and 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. According to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPAC) database review tool (accessed August 20, 2020) and the self -certification process conducted by RES and submitted to the USFWS on March 15, 2021, the list of threatened, endangered, species includes the Red -cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), the Neuse River Waterdog (Necturus lewisi), and the Carolina Madtom (Noturus furiousus). The Pickle Creek Phase II Nutrient Offset Project does not contain any suitable habitat for the Red -cockaded woodpecker, the Neuse River Waterdog, or the Carolina Madtom. A self -certification letter was sent to USFWS (on March 15, 2021). No response was received by USFWS. This consultation was conducted as part of the Categorical Exclusion (CE) process and supporting documentation and correspondence can be found in Appendix C. The Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act requires consultation with state fish and wildlife agencies when "waters of any stream or other body of water are proposed or authorized, permitted or licensed to be impounded, diverted, or otherwise controlled or modified. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) was consulted during the CE process and the NCWRC did not comment on any state or federally listed species; however, they did recommend the use of biodegradable and wildlife - friendly sediment and erosion control devices and to treat invasive species as part of the Project. Documentation is included in Appendix C. 3.2 Cultural Resources A review of North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) GIS Web Service (accessed 20 August 2020) database did not reveal any registered occurrences within the Project area; however, there were two other occurrences within in the 0.5-mile radius; (Vernon and Baker Presbyterian). RES consulted with the SHPO during the CE process and the SHPO had "conducted a review of the project and are aware of no historic resources which would be affected by the project." Documentation is included in Appendix C. 3.3 Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)/ Hydrologic Trespass No portion of the Pickle Creek Phase II Nutrient Offset Project area is in FEMA flood zones (Figure 6). Therefore, no FEMA permitting is required. 3.4 Clean Water Act - Section 401/404 This project will not impact/fill any Waters of the US; therefore, there will be no 401/404 permit required. 3.5 Constraints The Pickle Creek Phase II Project has a number of constraints that will be accounted for prior to project construction, however a majority of the constraints are found in the co -located DMS Project. The DWR site viability letter dated May 18, 2021, specifically mentioned three main constraints that would need to be addressed for the site to be viable. These constraints include 1) existing utilities, 2) existing permits (Figure 3a and Figure 3b), and 3) existing infrastructure associated with the application of animal waste. These criteria will be further explained in Section 4.2.3 and will be adequately addressed prior to construction. Pickle Creek Phase II Nutrient Offset Project Bank Parcel Development Package 8 May 2022 The landowner has two existing permits (AWS960127 and AW1960127) associated with the land application of animal waste within the proposed mitigation area. EBX, LLC worked with a Certified Technician from Agriments Services, Inc to understand the current permits and associated infrastructure that is in place to manage the land application of animal waste within the proposed mitigation area (Figure 3b). It was determined that 3.05 acres of Wettable Acres are within the proposed conservation easement and that there are two hydrants within the proposed easement area and some associated underground pipes that connect them to the main irrigation line. The Certified Technician then updated the Nutrient Management Plan and the Wettable Acres Determination for Jernigan Farms, AWS960127, to reflect the removal of the acreage and infrastructure within the proposed Pickle Creek Phase 11 Nutrient Offset Project (along with the adjacent DMS Project). RES consulted with the Engineer in the Certified Animal Feeding Operation Branch of the Water Quality Permitting Section to ensure that these updates were adequate. The updated Waste Utilization Plan and email correspondence with the Engineer in the Animal Feeding Operations Program are provided in Appendix E. Documentation of DWR approval of these permit updates and renewals will be provided in the as -built report to confirm full compliance with the criteria listed in the site viability letter. Additionally, EBX, LLC will provide photographic documentation of the pipe removal within the easement and confirm with DWR staff within the Certified Animal Feeding Operation Branch of the Water Quality Permitting Section that all criteria are being met. 3.6 Additional Environmental Consideration A limited Phase I Environmental Site Assessment was completed for the Parcel by acquiring an Environmental Date Resources (EDR) report in February 2021. The report can be found in Appendix D. Neither the target property nor the adjacent properties were listed in any of the Federal, State, or Tribal environmental databases searched by EDR. There are no known or potentially hazardous waste sites identified within or immediately adjacent to the project area. There were two environmental record mapped sites found within an 1/8 mile of the Project property. These are associated with the hog farm operations nearby and across the road which forms a ridge and therefore if an incident occurred, waste would flow in the opposite direction of the project. 4 RIPARIAN RESTORATION IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Riparian restoration areas adjacent to the unnamed tributary, one ephemeral channel, and one ditch are shown in Figure 7 and mitigation type determinations and nutrient offset viability was approved by DWR in the Site Viability Letter dated May 18, 2021 (Appendix A). 4.1 Parcel Preparation Preparation at the Project will involve spraying crops and exotic invasive species, applying soil amendments, seeding native plants, and planting trees. The areas of specific focus for site preparation for this Project will be ensuring that the areas that currently have Miscanthus giganteus are treated and removed from within the project area. Soil amendments will be provided across the entire planted area based on the results of soil fertility tests. The soils fertility tests will be based on soil samples collected within proposed riparian restoration areas across the site. A seed mix will be chosen to maximize successful herbaceous growth in all riparian areas while also incorporating valuable pollinator species. Temporary and permanent riparian seeding, and bare root plantings shall be planted according to the planting plan Pickle Creek Phase II Nutrient Offset Project Bank Parcel Development Package 9 May 2022 (Section 4.3). Along with the planting site preparation at the Project, the constraints mentioned in the site viability letter and discussed in Section 3.5 and Section 4.2.3 will be addressed prior to planting. This includes the update to the Waste Utilization Plan. The removal of two irrigation hydrants along J1 and the deadheading and capping of the underground pipes to ensure that no land application will be permitted within the easement area will be part of the site preparation of the DMS project preparation work. The limits of the riparian restoration areas will be surveyed post -planting and seeding, and the information will be provided in the As -Built report and plat. 4.2 Methods Riparian restoration activities along stream, ephemeral channel, and a viable ditch will be implemented to generate nutrient offset credits. All applicable areas were determined by the site viability assessment by DWR (Appendix A). 4.2.1 Riparian Restoration Activities — Streams and Ephemeras Riparian restoration activities will occur on stream and ephemeral channels as defined and described in the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (n). Nutrient offset credits generated from riparian restoration activities will comply with the Nutrient Offset Trading Rule 15A NCAC 02b .0703. Restoration activities will include the planting of bare root plantings as described in Section 4.3. These restoration activities will begin along the boundary of the DMS project which ends at about 100 feet from the top of the proposed stream (J1) and ephemeral channel (D4) and extend outward to a maximum of 200 feet perpendicular to the stream channel. Restoration will occur where cropland is currently present (Figure 7) One of the reach, D4, is an ephemeral stream. As per the rule, ephemeral streams are natural channels with discernable banks observable within crenulations on a USGS 7.5-minute topographic map (Figure 8). The entire area proposed for riparian restoration to generate nutrient offset credit along D4 is located within the contributing drainage area to the ephemeral channel and is directly connected to a perennial reach downstream (Figure 3a and Figure 8). The channel will be contiguously contained within the conservation easement areas of the DMS Pickle Creek Project and the Pickle Creek Phase II Nutrient Offset Project. 4.2.2 Riparian Restoration Activities — Ditches The eastern easement section of the Project includes one ditch D2 (Figure 7). Ditch D2 is generating nutrient offset credit in accordance with the Nutrient Offset Credit Trading Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0703, and the DWR site viability assessment (Appendix A). Riparian restoration activities will occur as defined and described in the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (n). The riparian restoration activities will include the planting of bare root trees as described in Section 4.3 and the other activities mentioned in 4.2.3. These restoration activities will begin from the tops of the ditch banks and extend outward to a maximum of 200 feet perpendicular to the ditch channel. All these riparian areas are currently cropland (Figure 3a and Figure 3b). Pickle Creek Phase II Nutrient Offset Project Bank Parcel Development Package 10 May 2022 4.2.3 Other Activities Other activities involved with the nutrient offset component of the Project include protecting the riparian areas through a permanent conservation easement, plugging and filling two small ditches that flow into D2 (Figure 7), removal of the most upstream culvert crossing on J1, removing localized areas of concentrated flow, stabilizing any banks that show instability, updating the Waste Utilization Plan to ensure removal of any area in conservation easement will not have any land application of waste, and removing two hydrants and the associated pipes that are used for land application for irrigation and fertilization (Figure 7). These activities will be completed during the Site Preparation stage. Upon approval of this project and finalization of the conservation easement, application of animal waste will not be permitted within a conservation easement or within riparian areas where nutrient offset credits are proposed to be generated (Figure 3b). All riparian areas proposed to be placed in a conservation easement will be removed from the Waste Utilization Plan. Written approval by DWR of any modification to the existing Waste Utilization will be received. Additionally, no infrastructure or impervious areas will remain above the ground within the riparian areas where nutrient offset is proposed. If any infrastructure is to remain in the ground, it will be capped and deadheaded so that there will be no possibility of any underground leakage if they are damaged by tree roots or other activities. This Project will be co -developed with a DMS buffer mitigation that will be contiguous with the boundaries of this project and includes some of the same features as this project. Therefore, riparian planting and site preparation activities will extend beyond the limits of this Project's boundaries to include the limits of the DMS full -delivery project. 4.3 Planting Plan All riparian restoration areas will be planted according to the planted area as shown on Figure 10. The planted area begins where the DMS easement ends along J1 and D4 and extends out to a maximum of 200 feet. D2 will be planted from the top of bank to a maximum of 200 feet. Bare root tree seedlings will be planted on a nine by six-foot spacing to achieve an initial density of approximately 800 trees per acre. Planting will occur in all areas proposed for nutrient offset and will meet the performance standards outlined in the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (n). This includes planting at least four species of native hardwood bare root trees. The suite of bare root stems will be thoroughly mixed prior to planting to ensure maximum diversity throughout the planted areas. A Mixed-Mesic Hardwood Forest (Coastal Plain subtype) (Schafale 2012) will be the target community type and will be used for all areas within the Project. This community composition is highly diverse and is suitable given the Project's soil and landscape characteristics and will provide water quality and ecological benefits. The initial planting of bare root trees will occur before Spring 2023. The list of bare root tree species to be planted and their percentage of total species composition can be found in Table 3. Please note that the real compositions of planted trees may differ from this proposed list due to availability; however, the procured trees will ideally be comprised of species from the list. With that said, the minimum number of unique species to be planted across the Project will be seven. Some areas in vicinity of forested areas may require maintenance due to the rapid regeneration of some species, such as red maple (Acer Pickle Creek Phase II Nutrient Offset Project Bank Parcel Development Package 11 May 2022 rubrum) and sweetgum (Liquidambarstyraciflua). Additionally, where needed for bank stabilization, banks will be live staked with black willow (Salix nigra), and silky dogwood (Corpus amomum). Planting areas will also be seeded with an herbaceous seed mix to provide rapid herbaceous cover and promote immediate buffer effectiveness as well as habitat for pollinators and other wildlife. The seed blend will contain both temporary and permanent seed and will include taproot species. See Table 4 for the proposed herbaceous seed mix composition. The seed will be sown utilizing a no -till drill or broadcasted and disced depending on the seasonal conditions at the time of seeding. Table 3.

Boundaries may be identified by marker, bollard, post, tree -blazing, or other means as allowed by Project conditions and/or conservation easement. Boundaries will be marked with signs identifying the property as a mitigation project and will include the name of the long-term steward and a contact number. Boundary markers disturbed, damaged, or destroyed will be repaired and/or replaced on an as needed basis. The easement boundary will be checked annually as part of monitoring activities and the conditions as well as any maintenance performed will be reported in the annual monitoring reports to DWR. The easement boundary will be marked before the DWR site visit for the Task 2 credit release. This Project will be codeveloped with a DMS full -delivery buffer mitigation project as mentioned throughout this document and shown in figures. There will be a DMS conservation easement nested adjacent the boundaries of this Project that will also be marked appropriately. 4.5 Additional Documentation The landowner has two existing permits (AWS960127 and AW1960127) associated with the land application of animal waste within the proposed mitigation area. It was determined that 3.05 acres of Wettable Acres are within the proposed conservation easement and that there are two hydrants within the proposed easement area and some associated underground pipes that connect them to the main irrigation line. The Nutrient Management Plan and the Wettable Acres Determination for Jernigan Farms, AWS960127, was changed to reflect the removal of the acreage and infrastructure within the proposed Pickle Creek Phase 11 Nutrient Offset Project (along with the adjacent DMS Project). EBX consulted with the Engineer in the Certified Animal Feeding Operation Branch of the Water Quality Permitting Section to ensure that these updates were adequate. The updated Waste Utilization Plan and email correspondence with the Engineer in the Animal Feeding Operations Program are provided in Appendix E. Documentation of DWR approval of these permit updates and renewals will be provided in the as -built report to confirm full compliance with the criteria listed in the site viability letter. EBX will confirm with DWR staff within the Certified Animal Feeding Operation Branch of the Water Quality Permitting Section to make sure all criteria are being met. 5 MONITORING PLAN 5.1 Monitoring Protocol and Performance Standards Annual vegetation monitoring and visual assessments will be conducted. Riparian vegetation monitoring where nutrient offset credits are being generated will be based on the "Carolina Vegetation Survey - Ecosystem Enhancement Program Protocol for Recording Vegetation: Level 1-2 Plot Sampling Only Version Pickle Creek Phase II Nutrient Offset Project Bank Parcel Development Package 13 May 2022 4.2". Annual vegetation monitoring will occur each year for a minimum of five years and will be conducted during the fall season with the first year occurring at least 6 months from initial planting. Monitoring plots will be installed a minimum of 100 meters squared in size and will cover at least two percent of the planted mitigation area. The planted area is 10.23 acres, and there will be 9 vegetation plots measuring performance standards in all riparian restoration areas. These plots will be randomly placed throughout the planted riparian restoration area and will be representative of the riparian community (Figure 10). The following data will be recorded for all trees in the plots: species, height, planting date (or volunteer), and grid location. All stems in plots will be flagged with flagging tape. The measures of vegetative success for the Project will be the survival of at least four native hardwood tree species, where no one species is greater than 50 percent of stems, at a density of at least 260 stems per acre at the end of Year 5. Native volunteer species may be included to meet the performance standards upon written approval by DWR. Invasive and noxious species will be monitored and treated so that none become dominant or alter the desired community structure of the site. Photos will be taken from all photo points each monitoring year and provided in the annual reports. Visual inspections and photos will be taken to ensure that applicable areas are being maintained and compliant. A visual assessment of the conservation easement will also be performed each year to confirm: • Easement markers are in good condition throughout the site; • no encroachment has occurred; • no invasive species occur in areas were invasive species were treated, • diffuse flow is being maintained in the conservation easement areas; and • there has not been any cutting, clearing, filling, grading, or similar activities that would negatively affect the functioning of the buffer. A summary of project monitoring and maintenance activities can be found in Table 5. Table 5. Summary of Project Monitoring and Maintenance Activities Component/ Feature Monitoring Maintenance through project close-out Vegetation Annual vegetation monitoring Vegetation shall be maintained to ensure the health and vigor of the targeted plant community. Routine vegetation maintenance and repair activities may include supplemental planting, pruning, mulching, and fertilizing. Exotic invasive plant species shall be treated by mechanical and/or chemical methods. Any vegetation requiring herbicide application will be performed in accordance with NC Department of Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations. Vegetation maintenance activities will be documented and reported in annual monitoring reports. Vegetation maintenance will continue through the monitoring period. Pickle Creek Phase II Nutrient Offset Project Bank Parcel Development Package 14 May 2022 Component/ Feature Monitoring Maintenance through project close-out Invasive and Nuisance Vegetation Visual Assessment Invasive and noxious species will be monitored and treated so that none become dominant or alter the desired community structure of the Project. Locations of invasive and nuisance vegetation will be mapped. Project Boundary Visual Project boundaries shall be identified in the field to ensure clear Assessment distinction between the mitigation project and adjacent properties. Boundaries will be marked with signs identifying the property as a mitigation project and will include the name of the long-term steward and a contact number. Boundaries may be identified by fence, marker, bollard, post, tree -blazing, or other means as allowed by Project conditions and/or conservation easement. Boundary markers disturbed, damaged, or destroyed will be repaired and/or replaced on an as - needed basis. Easement monitoring and staking/ signage maintenance will continue in perpetuity as a stewardship activity. 5.2 Adaptive Management Plan and Project Maintenance Adaptive measures will be developed, or appropriate remedial actions taken if in the event that the project, or a specific component of the project, fails to achieve the defined success criteria. Remedial actions will be designed to achieve the success criteria specified in this Plan, and will include identification of the causes of failure, remedial design approach, work schedule, and monitoring criteria that will consider physical and climatic conditions. Initial plant maintenance may include a one-time mowing, prior to initial planting to remove undesirable species. If mowing is deemed necessary by EBX during the monitoring period, EBX must first receive approval by DWR prior to any mowing activities to ensure that no buffer violations will be committed. Failure to receive approval to mow within the Neuse River buffer, as defined in 15A NCAC 02B .0714 by DWR, could result in Neuse River buffer violations and violations of the conservation easement. If necessary, RES will develop a species -specific control plan. Pickle Creek Phase II Nutrient Offset Project Bank Parcel Development Package 15 May 2022 6 LONG TERM MANAGEMENT PLAN The long-term stewardship plan for the site entails that the Project would be transferred to an approved conservation easement holder. EBX intends to assign this conservation easement to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Stewardship program. The NCDEQ Stewardship program currently holds conservation easements for many North Carolina Division of Mitigation Service projects (like the paired project for Pickle Creek Phase II Project "Pickle Creek Buffer Mitigation Project (2021- 0348v2") and is working to get approved as a conservation easement holder for DWR. The adjacent nature of these projects makes NCDEQ a good fit to manage both easements. In the unexpected situation that they are not approved, EBX will transfer the conservation easement to another approved easement holder. Once approved, NCDEQ Stewardship Program would serve as the conservation easement holder and entity responsible for long term stewardship of the Project. This party would conduct periodic inspection of the Project to ensure that restrictions required in the conservation easement are upheld. The NCDEQ Stewardship Program is developing an endowment system within the non -reverting, interest -bearing Conservation Lands Conservation Fund Account. The use of funds from the Endowment Account will be governed by North Carolina General Statute GS 113A-232(d)(3). Interest gained by the endowment fund may be used for the purpose of stewardship, monitoring, stewardship administration, and land transaction costs, if applicable. EBX, LLC will have a backup, in case stewardship with NCDEQ falls through. An engagement letter is being prepared and will be included in Appendix C once it is obtained. The Stewardship Program will periodically install signage to identify boundary markings as needed. Any livestock or associated fencing or permanent crossings will be the responsibility of the owner of the underlying fee to maintain. 7 FINANCIAL ASSURANCE The Sponsor will provide financial assurances in the form of Performance Bonds sufficient to assure one hundred percent (100%) completion of all mitigation work, required reporting and monitoring, and any remedial work required. Financial assurances will be payable at the direction of the DWR to its designee or to a standby trust. Financial assurances structured to provide funds to the DWR in the event of default by the Bank Sponsor are not acceptable. The initial performance bond will be in the amount of at least $150,000 and shall be able to cover 100% of the costs associated with construction of the riparian restoration areas. The monitoring bond shall be in the amount of at least $100,000 and shall be able to cover 100% of the costs associated with the monitoring and maintenance of the riparian restoration areas for five years. Performance bonds for monitoring shall be renewed to cover the next years monitoring period, with confirmation of renewal provided to DWR with each annual monitoring report when applicable. DWR reserves the right to alter the credit release schedule if monitoring reports are submitted without proof of bond renewals when applicable. Pickle Creek Phase II Nutrient Offset Project Bank Parcel Development Package 16 May 2022 8 PROJECT'S CREDIT POTENTIAL This Project has the potential to generate up to 23,215.900 lbs. of N of nutrient offset mitigation credits within a 10.59-acre conservation easement as depicted in Figure 7. All nutrient offset credits will be derived from riparian restoration activities. The credits generated will service the Neuse 01 watershed, excluding the Falls Lake Watershed. Nutrient offset credits will be generated within the 100-200' riparian zones of features J1, and D4. The nutrient offset credits will be generated within the 0-200' riparian zones of D2. The total potential nutrient offset credits that the Pickle Creek Phase II Nutrient Offset Project will generate were calculated using the DWR "Project Credit Table Template (Updated October 2020)" and are presented in Table 6. Furthermore, Figure 9 depicts riparian zones of 50, 100, and 200 feet from stream and ditch tops of banks to demonstrate width requirements for crediting. These nutrient offset credits are neither convertible nor transferrable to riparian buffer credits. This is a nutrient offset only bank with a nutrient offset only MBI. There will be one credit ledger for the project: Nitrogen. Pickle Creek Phase II Nutrient Offset Project Bank Parcel Development Package 17 May 2022 Table 6.

Olive NC Neuse 03020201 Wayne County Dear Ms. McEachran, On March 15, 2021, Katie Merritt,with the Division of Water Resources (DWR),received a request from you on behalf of Environmental Banc&Exchange, LLC (EBX) 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 3b-Existing Conditions" (Figure 1),prepared by EBX. On April 17, 2021,Ms. Merritt performed a site assessment of the subject site and staff with EBX were also present. The site visit revealed the following site constraints: • UTILITIES: An overhead powerline was observed along feature J1. The utility line 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#AWS960127 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,to generate buffer mitigation or nutrient offset credits within these riparian areas. • EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE: Existing underground and above ground infrastructure is present and is likely for purposes of irrigating the property for the land application of animal waste associated with permit#AWS960127.

Site cannot be a Preservation Only site to comply with this rule. 3NC Division of Water Resources - Methodology and Calculations for determining Nutrient Reductions associated with Riparian Buffer Establishment 4Determinations made for this Site are determined based on the proposal provided in maps and figures submitted with the request. 5 All features proposed for buffer mitigation or nutrient offset, must have a planted conservation easement established that includes the tops of channel banks when being measured perpendicular and landward from the banks, even if no credit is viable within that riparian area. 6The area of the mitigation site on ephemeral channels shall comprise no more than 25 percent (25%) of the total area of buffer mitigation per 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(7). 7Landuses may also include the application of animal waste associated with an AFO permit Determinations provided in the table above were made using a proposed easement boundary showing proposed mitigation areas shown in Figure 1. The map representing the proposal for the site are attached to this letter and are initialed by Ms. Merritt on May 18, 2021. Substantial changes to the proposed easement boundary as well as site constraints identified on page 1 of this letter could affect the Site's potential to generate buffer mitigation and nutrient offset credits. This letter does not constitute an approval of this Site to generate buffer and nutrient offset credits. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295, a mitigation proposal and a mitigation plan shall be submitted to DWR for written approval prior to conducting any mitigation activities in riparian areas and/or surface waters for buffer mitigation credit. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0703, a proposal regarding a proposed nutrient load -reducing measure for nutrient offset credit shall be submitted to DWR for approval prior to any mitigation activities in riparian areas and/or surface waters. All vegetative plantings, performance criteria and other mitigation requirements for riparian restoration, enhancement and preservation must follow the requirements in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 to be eligible for buffer and/or nutrient offset mitigation credits. For any areas depicted as not being viable for nutrient offset credit above, one could propose a different measure, along with supporting calculations and sufficient detail to support estimates of load reduction, for review by the DWR to determine viability for nutrient offset in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0703. This viability assessment will expire on May 18, 2023 or upon approval of a mitigation plan by the DWR, whichever comes first. This letter should be provided in any nutrient offset, buffer, stream or wetland mitigation plan for this Site.

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 02/19/2021 Event Code: 04EN2000-2021-E-01553 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/CurrentBirdlssues/Hazards/towers/towers.htm; http:// www.towerkill.com; and http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/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.

Reid Wilson, Secretary Walter Clark Director, Division of Land and WaterSlewardship NCNHDE-14006 The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above. Based on the project area mapped with your request, a query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have been surveyed. The results of this query should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our records. The attached `Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have been documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one -mile radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report. If a Federally -listed species is found within the project area or is indicated within a one -mile radius of the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here: https://www.fws.gov/offices/Di rectory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37. Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications.

The Pickle Creek Project is comprised of a NC Division of Mitigation Services full -delivery project and a retail bank, as depicted in the attached figures. The projects have been identified by RES to provide compensatory mitigation for unavoidable riparian buffer impacts. The proposed projects present the opportunity to restore and protect in perpetuity, up to 17.39 acres (plus a potential add -on 5.38 acres) of riparian buffer in the Neuse River Basin. Restoration activies will involve removing one culvert crossing and planting native hardwood trees. Coordinates for the site are as follows: 35.2333, -78.1132. A review of the N.C. State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) HPOWEB GIS Service database (http://gis.ncdcr.gov/hpoweb/; accessed August 20, 2020) was performed as part of the site due diligence evaluation to reveal any listed or potential eligible historic or archeological resources.The database revealed one listing within a 0.5-mile radius of the project area but should not be affected by construction activities. Land use around the project is row crop fields, confined animal feeding operations, and bottomland hardwood forest. We ask that you review this site based on the attached information to determine the presence of any historic properties and provide a comment response of your findings. We thank you in advance for your timely response and cooperation. You may return the comment to my attention at the address in the letterhead, or via email at gsanner@res.us.

The Pickle Creek Project is comprised of a NC Division of Mitigation Services full -delivery project and a retail bank, as depicted in the attached figures. The Pickle Creek Project has been identified by Resource Environmental Solutions, LLC (RES) to provide compensatory mitigation for unavoidable riparian buffer impacts. The proposed project presents the opportunity to restore and protect in perpetuity, up to 17.39 acres (plus a potential 5.38 acres) of riparian buffer in the Neuse River Basin. Coordinates for the site are as follows: 35.2333, -78.1132. The Project watershed is primarily a mix of row crop fields, confined animal feeding operations, and disturbed forest. We thank you in advance for your timely response and cooperation. You may return the comment to my attention at the address in the letterhead, or via email to gsanner@res.us. Please feel free to contact me with any questions that you may have concerning the extent of site disturbance associated with this project.

Mr. Sanner, Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed the proposed project description. Comments are provided in accordance with certain provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (as amended), Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667e) and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.). In conjunction with the NC Division of Mitigation Services, Resource Environmental Solutions, LLC has identified and developed the Pickle Creek Riparian Buffer Mitigation Project. The 17.39-acre site will restore and preserve riparian buffers in perpetuity. The project watershed consists of agriculture and forested lands, as well confined animal feeding operations. This site is located northwest of the intersection of Shady Grove and Thunder Swamp Roads, northwest of Mount Olive. The project area drains to Thunder Swamp in the Neuse River basin. Stream restoration projects often improve water quality and aquatic habitat. Establishing native, forested buffers in riparian areas will improve both aquatic and terrestrial habitats and provide a travel corridor for wildlife species. In addition to stringent best management practices for erosion and sediment control during construction, the NCWRC recommends the use of biodegradable and wildlife -friendly sediment and erosion control devices. Silt fencing, fiber rolls and/or other products should have loose -weave netting that is made of natural fiber materials with movable joints between the vertical and horizontal twines. Silt fencing and similar products that have been reinforced with plastic or metal mesh should be avoided as they impede the movement of terrestrial wildlife species. Excessive silt and sediment loads can have detrimental effects on aquatic resources including destruction of spawning habitat, suffocation of eggs and clogging of gills. Only native vegetation should be installed onsite and any invasive plant species found in or near the project area should be removed and destroyed. Mailing Address: N.C.

Assessment of the impact of contaminant migration generally has two principle investigative components: 1. Groundwater flow direction, and 2. Groundwater flow velocity. Groundwater flow direction may be impacted by surface topography, hydrology, hydrogeology, characteristics of the soil, and nearby wells. Groundwater flow velocity is generally impacted by the nature of the geologic strata. TC6368113.2s Page A-1 GEOCHECK® - PHYSICAL SETTING SOURCE SUMMARY GROUNDWATER FLOW DIRECTION INFORMATION Groundwater flow direction for a particular site is best determined by a qualified environmental professional using site -specific well data. If such data is not reasonably ascertainable, it may be necessary to rely on other sources of information, such as surface topographic information, hydrologic information, hydrogeologic data collected on nearby properties, and regional groundwater flow information (from deep aquifers). TOPOGRAPHIC INFORMATION Surface topography may be indicative of the direction of surficial groundwater flow. This information can be used to assist the environmental professional in forming an opinion about the impact of nearby contaminated properties or, should contamination exist on the target property, what downgradient sites might be impacted.

If such data are not reasonably ascertainable, it may be necessary to rely on other sources of information, including geologic age identification, rock stratigraphic unit and soil characteristics data collected on nearby properties and regional soil information. In general, contaminant plumes move more quickly through sandy -gravelly types of soils than silty -clayey types of soils.

This plan should act as an emergency back-up conventional type plan in case of failure from the innovative waste system currently operating at the Jernigan Farm. This plan should act as basis and back up for combining 96-158 and 96-127. Due to the deficit noted in year two of this plan it is permissible for Mr. Jernigan too have cotton replace corn in that year on 1/4 of the total cropland in this plan. When used cotton will have an agronomic rate of 70 pounds/nitrogen/per/acre and the application windows will be March 15th - August 1. Oats may replace the wheat crop at the owner's discretion and keep the same agronomic rate however the application window will be reduced by 15 days and end at April I5th. Pulls 1 and 2 on Tract 1240 have been eliminated due to innovative waste system. Field ALT has been added as a backup field the agronomic rate shalll be 108 pounds per/acre and may be an energy grass crop or other summer annual as needed if waste management system returns to conventional agronomic and hydraulic rates. 940162 Database Version 4.1 Date Printed: 09-27-2021 Narrative Page 1 of 1 The table shown below provides a summary of the crops or rotations included in this plan for each field.

Date Printed 9/27/202I PCS Page 3 of 3 The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields ofthe crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements, and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake. This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

IAF Page 1 of 1 The following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate ofthe number of acres needed for sludge utilization for the indicated accumulation period. These estimates are based on average nitrogen concentrations for each source, the number of animals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application rates shown in the second column. Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application ofthe effluent. At clean out, this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient levels are generally very high, application of sludge must be carefully applied. Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not be used for sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields with high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to streams and lakes, phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a concern.

Available storage capacity is calculated as the design storage capacity in days minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated. The start date is a value entered by the user and is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal to zero. Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and Tess than or equal to the design storage capacity of the facility. If the available storage capacity is greater than the design storage capacity, this indicates that the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated. If available storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design storage volume of the structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application interval in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity.

Any discharge of waste that 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 the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence 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 waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications 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 eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is 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). 940162 Database Version 4.1 Date Printed: 9/27/2021 Specification Page 1 Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to 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 and flies. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the soil 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. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential 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.

Taylor Road, Richlands, NC 28574 Phone: (910) 324-3044 Required Documentation The following details of design and materials must accompany all irrigation designs: t. A scale drawing of the proposed irrigation system which includes hydrant locations, pipelines, thrust block locations and buffer areas where applicable. 2. Assumptions and computations for determining total dynamic head and horsepower requirements. 3. Computations used to determine all mainline and lateral pipe sizes. 4, Sources andlor calculations used for determining application rates. 5. Computations used to determine the size of thrust blocks and illustrations of all thrust block configurations required in the system 6. Manufacturer's specifications for the irrigation pump, traveler and sprinkler(s). 7. Manufacturer's specifications for the irrigation pipe andlor USDA-NRCS standard for IRRIGATION WATER CONVEYANCE. 8. The information required by this form are the minimum requirements. It is the responsibility of the designer to consider ail relevant factors at a particular site and address them as appropriate. 9. Irrigation pipes should not be installed In lagoon or storage pond embankments without the approval of the designer. NOTE: A buffer strip of 25' or wider must be maintained between the limits of the irrigation system and all perennial streams and surface waters per NC Statutes. Sheet6 Narrative of Irrigation System Operation This design is for an addition to an existing facility. The acres were calculated based on the equipment specified and the charts created by NCSU for calculating Area Allowances for Hard Hose Traveler Systems. This irrigation system is designed with six inch, Class 200 PVC and schedule 80 fitttings. The system is designed to accommodate the flow velocities, flow rates and pressure requirements associated with a Cadman 3250 traveler. Air vents and thrust blocks are to be installed as indicated on the drawings. The thrust block areas have been calculated and are listed in Table 4 of this design. The design of the traveler system requires the use of a 1.26" ring nozzle in the gun. Each pull has a specific arc setting and travel speed which must be used to achieve the desired application. This information is given in Table 2 of this design. A detail of the hydrant layout is also included. All pipe shall be installed with a minimum of 30" of cover and shall be backfilled in no less than three passes, leaving enough soil material above original grade to allow for settling. The suction assembly for the pump to be used should be a minimum of 6" aluminum. A pressure gauge should be installed on the discharge side of the pump where It can be seen during start up of the system. Refer to owner's manual and irrigation dealer for information on maintenance, winterization, and operation of system. This revision done 9/22/2021 to reflect the recalculation of pulls due to the addition of easements for the Pickle Creek Mitigation Project.
