RE: DWR Draft Loop Road Buffer Plan Comments
Loop Road Mitigation Bank Parcel (DWR # 2020-1938v2)
Wayne County, NC
Dear Ms. Merritt:
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. (Wildlands) has reviewed the Division of Water Resources (DWR) comments
dated July 10'h, 2023, for the draft Bank Parcel Development Package (BPDP) for the Loop Road Mitigation
Bank Parcel.
The DWR comments are listed below in bold, while Wildlands responses are noted in italics lettering.
Section 2.4 — This equation is difficult for us to understand how it is applied to meet this
requirement. We were expecting it to be written similar to 0.7ac*4=2.8ac. 20ac is at least 4x
greater than 2.8ac.
The following text has been added to section 2.4: "0.7 acres * 4 = 2.8 acres. 20 acres is at least 4
times greater than 2.8 acres"
Table 6 — Please format Table 6 to be on one page.
Table 6 has been formatted to be on one page.
Table 9 — Change table 9 to: Selected Tree Species for Wider Section of D1.
The change has been made.
4. Figure 7
a. Since the origin of D1 is on the easement boundary and there is no extension beyond
the boundary there is no need for the diffuse flow deduction off of D1. Update the
map and credit table accordingly.
D1 extends 5 feet beyond the conservation easement boundary, therefore, Wildlands
believes it is still appropriate to apply the defuse flow deduction. An inset that more
clearly depicts the origin of D1 in relation to the conservation easement has been added
to Figure 7.
b. Please show that DA extends beyond the easement boundary as depicted in the site
viability on all figures that include DA callouts. Including this information assists in
determining why non -diffuse flow is being addressed.
DA is now shown appropriately on all applicable figures as extending past the
conservation easement boundary.
Appendix A — This picture would be more appropriately labeled "riparian area adjacent to D2"
since the ditch is not in the picture.
The change has been made.
The final Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Plan has been uploaded to the Laserfiche system. Please
contact me at 540-907-9432 if you have any questions or concerns.

Bank Parcel Development Package
Loop Road Mitigation Bank Parcel
Neuse River Basin
1.0 Project Introduction
The Loop Road Mitigation Bank Parcel ("Parcel") is proposed under the terms and conditions of the
proposed Loop Road Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Banking Instrument ("MBI"), made and
entered into by Wildlands Holdings IX, LLC acting as Bank Sponsor ("Sponsor") and the North Carolina
Department of Environmental Quality ("NCDE(X") Division of Water Resources ("NCDWR"). The Parcel
shall be planned and designed according to the MBI, 15A NCAC 0213.0703, and the Consolidated Buffer
Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 which became effective November 1, 2015.
The project is in Wayne County approximately 11 miles southwest of the City of Goldsboro (Figure 1).
Directions are included on Figure 1. The Parcel creates a protected riparian area from top of bank out to
200 feet along one unnamed tributary (UT1) and two project ditches (D1 and D2). 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
03020201170010 and NCDWR Subbasin 03-04-12 in Wayne County.
1.1 Parcel Description
The one unnamed tributary and two ditches flow to another unnamed tributary on the project property.
That tributary extends for approximately half a mile until it flows into Falling Creek. Falling Creek
eventually flows into the Neuse River. Falling Creek is classified as Water Supply Water source ("WS-IV")
and Nutrient Sensitive Waters ("NSW") by NCDWR. The proposed project supports specific goals
identified in the 2018 Neuse River Basin Restoration Priorities Plan (RBRP) by promoting "nutrient and
sediment reduction in agricultural areas by restoring and preserving wetlands, streams and riparian
buffers".
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
stream and ditches proposed for mitigation is a mixture of forest and active agricultural fields. See the
Appendix for January 2022 site photos. Restoring the riparian area up to 200 feet from the streams and
ditches will reduce nutrient and sediment inputs in the tributaries to Loop Branch and subsequently the
Neuse River. The restored floodplain areas will filter sediment during high rainfall events and provide
cover and food for wildlife throughout the Parcel.
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.

harmful uses.
2.2 Existing Parcel Conditions
The proposed buffer mitigation and nutrient offset project includes approximately 13.75 acres of
agricultural fields and mature forest along one unnamed tributary (UT1) and two project ditches (D1 and
D2). The Parcel easement boundary will extend from top of bank to 200 feet from the two ditches.
(Figure 3).
D1 is surrounded by agricultural fields on either floodplain and flows east until its confluence with UT1.
The top of D1 is surrounded by the footprint of an old pond where portions of the area frequently have
shallow standing water. D2 flows south to its confluence with UT1. The right floodplain of D2 is
agricultural fields and an existing forested buffer occupies the left floodplain of D2. The agriculture
fields on the Parcel are used rotationally to graze cattle and produce row crops. UT1 is forested and
eventually flows into another unnamed tributary beyond the conservation easement.
In general, this area has maintained its rural, farming character over the last 60 years with only minor
changes in land cover (see Appendix B). This consistency in land use within the project watershed
indicates that watershed 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.

2.3 Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset Mitigation
NCDWR assessed the stream origin and issued the official Stream Origin Determination Letter on April
21, 2021. NCDWR performed an onsite visit of the project area to determine viability for buffer
mitigation and nutrient offset mitigation on June 7, 2021, and issued a site viability letter on July 27,
2021. One of the three final project features assessed were deemed viable by NCDWR to generate
buffer mitigation. There have been no changes to land use in the project area since NCDWR's 2021 site
visit. 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.

2.4 Alternative Mitigation for Buffer Mitigation
In addition to buffer restoration on subject streams, per the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rules (15A
NCAC 02B 0.0295 (o)), alternative mitigation is proposed on the Parcel in the form of buffer restoration
on ditches. As noted in the Site Viability Letter (see Appendix C), the right side of D2 meets 15A NCAC
02B .0295 (o)(8) (A, B, C, D & Q. The proposed project complies in the following ways:
Restoration on Ditches (15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(8):

• D2 is directly connected with and draining towards an intermittent or perennial stream (See
Figure 3).
• The point at which the ditch connects to an intermittent or perennial stream is protected under
a perpetual conservation easement (See Figure 3 for confluence of D2 and UT1).
• The ditch is contiguous with the rest of the mitigation site protected under a perpetual
conservation easement, which prohibits any future maintenance of the ditch (See Figure 3 and 7
for easement boundary).
• Stormwater runoff from overland flow drains towards the ditch (See Figure 5 for topographic
and watershed information).
• The ditch is between one and three (3) feet in depth based on the distance from the thalweg to
the top of bank (See Site Viability Letter).
• The entire length of the ditch shall have been in place prior to the effective date of the
applicable rule (See appendix for historical aerial photographs).
• The width of buffer restoration on the ditch is no less than 30 feet and no more than 50 feet
(See Figure 8 for buffer zones and proposed mitigation).
• The watershed of the ditch is at least four times larger than the restored area along the ditch.
0.7 acres * 4 = 2.8 acres. 20 acres is at least 4 times greater than 2.8 acres. (See Figure 5 for the
drainage and restored area of D2).
2.5 Watershed Characterization
The Parcel is located within the HUC 03020201170010. All onsite features drain to Falling Creek. Falling
Creek flows to the Neuse River. Falling Creek is classified as WS-IV and NSW by NCDWR. WS-IV waters
are sources of water supply for drinking water, culinary, or food processing purposes. The NSW
designation applies to surface waters that are experiencing excessive growths of microscopic or
macroscopic vegetation.
The topography of the Parcel, as indicated on the Grantham USGS 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle,
shows low sloped areas throughout the Parcel (Figure 4). Drainage areas for the project reaches (Figure
5) were delineated using 2-foot contour intervals derived from the North Carolina Floodplain Mapping
Program's 2017 Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data. Land uses draining to the project reaches are
primarily a mix of active crop fields, woodlands and developed space. The watershed areas and current
land use are summarized in Table 4, below.

2.7 Existing Vegetative Communities
Existing vegetation within the Parcel is primarily comprised of agricultural fields used to grow row crops
and graze cattle. Various species of annual herbaceous vegetation exists along the banks of D1, including
dog fennel (Eupatorium capillifolium) and rush (Juncus spp.). Very occasional woody stems also exist
along the banks of D1, including sweetgum (Liquidam bar styraciflua), Baccharis (Baccharis spp.), black
willow (Salix nigra), southern wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera), blackberry (Rhus occidentalis), and Chinese
privet (Ligustrum sinense). Existing forest is located along with the left floodplain of D2. Please see Table
6 for existing woody and herbaceous species noted within the forested area along D2.

2.8 Threatened and Endangered Species
The NC Natural Heritage Program (NHP) database and the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)
Information for Planning and Consultation database (IPaC) were searched for federally listed threatened
and endangered plant and animal species in Wayne County, NC. Three listed endangered or threatened
species and one species proposed for listing as endangered or threatened were identified. Respectively,
these are the Red -cockaded Woodpecker (Picoides borealis), the Neuse River Waterdog (Necturus
lewisi), the Carolina Madtom (Notorus furiousus), and the Monarch Butterfly (Donaus plexippus).
Wildlands performed a pedestrian survey of the project parcel on January 19, 2022. 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. USFWS was contacted on July 27, 2022 with request for comment on the
project. USFWS did not respond within 35 days, therefore it is appropriate to assume USFWS agrees
with the conclusions made. The USFWS correspondence and Self -Certification Letter packet is included
in Appendix D.
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 27, 2022. SHPO responded on February 23, 2022 stating they are
aware of no historic resources which would be affected by the project. The SHPO response and request
are included in Appendix D.
2.10 FEMA Floodplain Compliance
No grading activities are proposed in the 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 Parcel is accessible via a dirt farm path near 297 Loop Road, Goldsboro (See Figure 7). There are no
crossings within the Parcel.
2.12 Other Environmental Conditions
An EDR Radius Map Report with Geocheck was ordered for the Parcel through Environmental Data
Resources, Inc. on April 11, 2022. Neither the target property nor the adjacent properties were listed in
any of the Federal, State, or Tribal environmental databases searched by EDR. There were no known or
potentially hazardous waste sites identified within or immediately adjacent to the project area. The
Executive Summary of the EDR report is included in the Appendix.
Site Protection Instrument
The land required for planting, management, and stewardship of the mitigation project includes
portions of the parcels listed in Table 6. The Parcel will remain in private ownership, protected in its
entirety by an approved NCDWR long term stewardship, and will be managed under the terms detailed
in an approved NCDWR conservation easement.

Mitigation Work Plan
The project will restore agriculturally impacted land along D1 and D2 on the Parcel to a protected
riparian corridor, improving the ecological function of the area. The project design will ensure that no
adverse impacts to existing riparian buffers occur. Figure 7 illustrates the conceptual design for the
Parcel. Figure 8 further depicts the riparian buffer zones for the Parcel.
4.1 Parcel Preparation
Most areas slated for restoration will require little parcel preparation because the land has been cleared
and maintained for agriculture; therefore, soil disturbance during planting of the project will be minimal.
Soil samples will 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 2023, 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 2024.
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 undesirable species from out -competing
planted native vegetation. Except for one small depressional area surrounding the top of D1, tree
species planted across the riparian areas of the Parcel will include a mixture of at least 8 species listed in
Table 8 below. Within the old pond footprint surrounding D1, a combination of the species listed in
Table 9 will be planted as live stakes, along with an herbaceous mix ofJuncus effusus, Panicum
rigidulum, Bidens aristosa, Helianthus angustifolius, Elymus virginicus, Carex lupulina, Rhexia mariana,
and Carex vulpinoidea.

Trees will be spaced at 7'X12' upon 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 8 will be
planted. If a species is not available at the time of planting, the percentage composition of one or more
of the available species will be increased to ensure the same number of trees required to meet the
proposed density are planted. No one species will be planted at a composition higher than 15%. 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 is depicted on Figure 7. Planting is scheduled for
December 2024. Fencing will be installed along the perimeter of the conservation easement along D1
and D2, which will connect with existing fencing on the Parcel.
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 riparian restoration
areas to measure the survival of the planted trees. A total of 9 plots will be established within the
riparian restoration areas and will be randomly placed such that the plots are representative of the
buffer mitigation and nutrient offset credit areas (Figure 9). Of these 9 plots, 2 will be rotating plots.
Throughout the monitoring period, one of the rotating plots will be done within the riparian restoration

area along D1, while the other rotating plot will be done within the riparian restoration area along D2.
Each of the 9 plots will be 100 square meters, however, the 7 fixed plots will be a 10 x 10 meter square
while the rotating plots will be circular with a radius of 5.64 meters.
Vegetation assessments will be conducted and follow the Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) Level 2
Protocol for Recording Vegetation (2008). A reference photo will be taken from the southwestern corner
of each of the 9 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, survival rates, and vigor 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 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 315T of each year for five
consecutive years and will follow the terms and conditions of the MBI.
5.2 Parcel Maintenance
If the Parcel or a specific component of the Parcel fails to achieve the success criteria outlined in Section
5.1, adaptive measures will be developed and/or appropriate remedial actions will be implemented.
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. The conservation easement on the left side of D2 is at least 15 feet wide measuring
from the top of bank (see Figure 3). The confluence of both D1 and D2 with UT1 will be secured under a
conservation easement (see Figure 3). This can be seen in Figure 3. Boundaries may be identified by
marker, post, tree -blazing, or other means as allowed by Parcel conditions and/or conservation easement
prior to the NCDWR on -site 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.

Financial Assurance and Long -Term Management
6.1 Financial Assurances
Following approval of the Loop Road Bank Parcel Development Package, the Sponsor shall provide a
Performance Bond from a surety that is rated no less than an "A-" as rated by A.M. Best. The
Performance Bond amount shall be 100% of the estimated cost for implementation of the project as
described in the Bank Parcel Development Package (BPDP), but not less than $150,000.00. In lieu of
posting the performance bond, the Sponsor may elect to construct the project prior to the first credit
release. In that case no performance bond will be necessary.
After completion of the restoration/construction, a separate Performance/Maintenance Bond will be
secured for 100% of the estimated cost to implement the monitoring and maintenance plan but not less
than $100,000.00. The Performance/Maintenance Bond shall apply at the inception of the monitoring
period for a term of one year and be extended annually for a minimum of five years. Upon NCDWR
approval, this may be lowered each year based on the adjusted cost to complete the monitoring.
Performance bonds for monitoring shall be renewed at least annually to cover the next years monitoring
period, with confirmation of renewal provided to NCDWR with each annual monitoring report when
applicable. NCDWR reserves the right to alter the credit release schedule if monitoring reports are
submitted without proof of bond renewals when applicable.
6.2 Long-term Management
The Parcel will remain in private ownership, protected in its entirety by an approved NCDWR longterm
stewardship, and will be managed under the terms detailed in an approved NCDWR conservation
easement. The long-term manager will be chosen prior to the submittal of the Year 4 Monitoring report
and will be responsible for periodic inspection of the Parcel to ensure that the restrictions documented
in the recorded easement are upheld in perpetuity. No remaining credits will be released for Monitoring
Year 4 until the conservation easement has been assigned to an approved land trust or stewardship.
Project Credit Potential
Of the 13.69 acres protected under the conservation easement, the mitigation activity for 11.9 acres is
riparian restoration. Of that 11.9 acres of restoration, 0.7 acres are proposed for buffer mitigation credit
and 11.2 acres are proposed for nutrient offset credit. The Buffer Interpretation /Clarification Memo
#2008-019 applies to DA and D1 where maintenance of diffuse flow onsite is unattainable; therefore, a
total of 5,611 square feet is removed from the creditable area. 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 and nutrient offset are presented in Tables 9
and 10, below. The riparian restoration areas within 50 feet of D2 are viable for either riparian buffer
credits or nutrient offset credits, however, Wildlands is seeking Riparian Buffer Credit from areas within
Top of Bank-50' along that feature. These credits can be converted and transferred into Nutrient Offset
Credits only upon receiving written approval by NCDWR. Wildlands is not seeking Riparian Buffer Credit
or Nutrient Offset Credit from UT1. The connection between both D1 and D2 with UT1 is secured within
the easement. Wildlands is seeking Nutrient Offset Credits in all the remaining riparian restoration areas
within the Parcel. These areas of riparian restoration areas will not be convertible to Riparian Buffer
Credits per the Parcel's MBI. There will be two credit ledgers for the project: A Buffer Restoration Credit
Ledger and A Nitrogen Nutrient Offset Credit Ledger.
Loop Road Mitigation Bank Parcel BPDP
kw HUC 03020201 Page 10 July 2023

In accordance with the MBI, any credit conversions must be calculated using the guidance provided in
the Clarified Procedures for Calculating Buffer Mitigation Credits and Nutrient Offset Credits letter issued
by the NCDWR.

Location: Lat., Long: 35.285198,-78.132003
Dear Ms. Eckardt and Ms. Lanza:
On January 29, 2021, Shelton Sullivan of the Division of Water Resources (DWR) conducted an on -
site review of features located on the Loop Road Mitigation Bank Parcel at the request of Wildlands
Engineering Inc. to determine the applicability of features on the site to the Neuse River Riparian
Area Protection Rules, Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 02B .0714.
The enclosed map(s) depict the feature(s) evaluated and this information is also summarized in the
table below. Streams were evaluated for being ephemeral, at least intermittent, and for subjectivity
to the Neuse River Riparian Area Protection Rules. Streams that are considered "Subject" have been
located on the most recently published NRCS Soil Survey of Wayne County and/or the most recent
copy of the USGS Topographic (at 1:24,000 scale) map(s), have been located on the ground at the site,
and possess characteristics that qualify them to be at least intermittent streams. Features that are
considered "Not Subject" have been determined to not be at least intermittent, not present on the
property, or not depicted on the required maps.
This determination only addresses the applicability to the buffer rules within the proposed
easement and does not approve any activity within buffers or within waters of the state. There
may be other streams or features located on the property that appear or do not appear on the
maps referenced above. Any of the features on the site may be considered jurisdictional
according to the US Army Corps of Engineers and subject to the Clean Water Act.
The following table addresses the features observed and rated during the DWR site visit.

Re: Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset — Loop Road Site
Near 35.283350,-78.131426 in Goldsboro, NC
Neuse 03020201
Wayne County
Dear Ms. Eckardt,
On June 7, 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 July 7,
2021, Ms. Merritt performed a site assessment of the subject site. Staff with Wildlands were also
present.
Ms. Merritt's evaluation of the features onsite and their associated mitigation determination for the
riparian areas are provided in the table below. This evaluation was made from Top of Bank (TOB)
and landward 200' from each feature for buffer mitigation pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295
(effective November 1, 2015) and for nutrient offset credits pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0703.

Subject: Loop Road Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel
Wayne County, North Carolina
To whom it may concern,
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. requests review and comment on any possible issues that might emerge with respect
to fish and wildlife issues associated with a potential riparian buffer restoration project on the Loop Road
Mitigation Site located in Wayne County, NC. A Site Map is enclosed. The site is located at latitude 35.283350
longitude-78.131426.
The Loop Road Mitigation Site is being developed to provide riparian buffer and nutrient offset mitigation in the
Neuse River basin. The project will include buffer restoration and preservation along Loop Branch and two ditches
that flow to Falling Creek. Restoration activities will include planting native tree species along the riparian corridor,
along with the application of a regionally appropriate seed mix of warm season grasses and wildflowers in areas
without existing herbaceous cover. 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 channels proposed for buffer restoration is a combination of agricultural fields and forest.
Restoring the vegetative buffer on the areas up to 200 feet from streams and ditches will remove 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.
Sincerely,
K.aitLyw h0ga4tk-,

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

12/27/2021 Event Code: 04EN2000-2022-E-01073 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/migratoDLbirds/CurrentBirdlssues/Hazards/
towers/comtow.html.
Not all Threatened and Endangered Species that occur in North Carolina are subject to section 7
consultation with the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service. Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon, sea
turtles,when in the water, and certain marine mammals are under purview of the National Marine
Fisheries Service. If your project occurs in marine, estuarine, or coastal river systems you should
also contact the National Marine Fisheries Service, http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/
We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages
Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project
planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Tracking Number in
the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project
that you submit to our office. If you have any questions or comments, please contact John Ellis

Subject: Loop Road 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 Loop
Road 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 Grantham 7.5-
Minute USGS Topographic Quadrangle, and the site is located at latitude 35.283350 longitude-78.131426.
The Loop Road 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 riparian buffers along Loop Road
and two ditches (D1 and D2) that flow to Falling Creek. Loop Branch is surrounded by forest on its left floodplain
and a narrow, forested corridor on its right, with agricultural fields directly adjacent. D1 is surrounded by
agricultural fields on either side and D2 is surrounded by agricultural fields on its right floodplain and forest on its
left.
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.
No surveyed sites listed on the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) are located within one mile
of the site. In addition, the site is not located near any sites listed on the National Register with the SHPO. No
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.
Sincerely,
Kaittyw }f agVU1�
