ECOSYSTEM ENHANCE ME NT PROGRAM
QUARTERLY REPORT
January 1,2004 - March 31, 2004
This quarterly report is intended to satisfy reporting
requirements of the Memorandum of Agreement entered into
by the North Carolina Department of Environment and
Natural Resources ( NCDENR), the North Carolina
Department of Transportation ( NCDOT), and the United
States Army Corps of Engineers ( USACE), Wilmington
District, on July 22, 2003, for providing compensatory
mitigation through the NCDENR Ecosystem Enhancement
Program to offset impacts to waters and wetlands due to
activities authorized by Clean Water Act permits.

Ecosystem Enbancement Procram Quarterly Report January 1 - March 3 1,2004 3
This report covers the period beginning January 1,2004 through March 30,2004. This is the
third quarterly report of the Transition Period. The Transition Period allows for conversion
from the current Wetlands Restoration Program ( WRP) and NCDOT mitigation operations
and methods to Ecosystem Enhancement Program ( EEP) watershed based operations and
methods that will provide mitigation prior to impacts. During transition, the EEP will
provide compensatory mitigation at a ratio requiring at least 1 : 1 restoration. High quality
preservation and enhancement may be accepted to supplement the 1 : 1 restoration
requirement. Preservation is provided at the ratio of 10: 1 ( for projects that do not have
restoration at the time of permit; restoration for these impacts will be provided at the end of
transition). Complete transition guidelines and requirements are found in Section IX of the
MOA. The transition period will end on July 22,2005.
ii. Report Structure
This report provides the following information as required in the MOA Section VII, Program
Review:
1. Projected impacts by amount, type, and eight digit Cataloging Unit ( CU) based on the
7- year anticipated impacts.
2. Mitigation sites acquired by amount, type, and eight- digit CU based on the 7- year
anticipated impacts.
3. Mitigation projects that are complete and function, or otherwise available for use
pursuant to Paragraph VI. B, of the MOA, by amount, type, and eight- digit CU and
implementation status.
4. Mitigation projects that were debited by USACE permit Action ID, amount, type, and
eight- digit CU.
5. Net remaining mitigation by amount, type, and eight- digit CU for each complete and
function mitigation project.
The report is organized into three main sections.
Section 1 Projected Impacts. Table 1 addresses item number 1 above.
Section 2 Mitigation Proiect Status.
This section addresses items numbered 2 and 3 above and is organized in the
following manner:
Table 2: Restoration Site Status as of March 3 1 , 2003
Table 3 : Preservation Site Status as of March 3 1,2003
Table 4: Restoration Assets Available
Table 5a: Preservation Assets Available this quarter
Table 5b: Cumulative Preservation Assets
Section 3 Project Accounting.
This section addresses items numbered 4 and 5 above and is organized in the
following manner:

Ecosystem Enhancement Program Quarterly Report January 1 - March 3 I, 2004- 14
JECT STATUS
Section 2 addresses the updated status of Ecosystem Enhancement Program restoration and
preservation mitigation projects. Table 2 lists restoration project status by river basin and
CU. Table 3 lists high quality preservation projects by eco- region.
Table 2: Restoration Site Status as of March 31,2003
Table 2 lists ecosystem restoration, enhancement, and preservation projects that the EEP has
available to meet the requirements of compensatory mitigation. The units of mitigation
provided in the table are the total amount of mitigation available to a particular project over
time. Where credit release schedules have been established, the EEP will debit from these
project accordingly. The units of mitigation for any project may change from the time of this
report as additional design and monitoring information is available to the EEP or as
mitigation units are refined as per the goals set forth in the EEP MOA.
Table 2 is divided into four sections:
Section 1 is a list of projects initiated by the Department of Transportation's Project
Development and Environmental Analysis Branch prior to the inception of the EEP. These
projects are in various stages of implementation. The EEP staff is currently managing these
projects and will utilize their mitigation credits according to the guidelines of the Tri- party
MOA.
Section 2 is a list of projects developed and constructed by the DOT. The available credit for
these projects have been verified by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers and the DOT. This
table presents the total amount of available credit for a particular project. Projects that have
credit release schedules will be debited accordingly.
Section 3 is a list of projects that were initiated by the DOT as full delivery projects. These
project are currently under contract with the DOT but are available for debiting for the
purposes of the EEP, as determined by credit release schedules.
Section 4 is a list of projects that were initiated and developed by the staff of the NC
Department of Environment and Natural Resource's Wetlands Restoration Program and the
Ecosystem Enhancement Program. These projects have been acquired as defined by the 1998
MOA between the USACE and the DENR and by the EEP MOA.

Table 3, lists high quality preservation sites that are being acquired or have been acquired this
quarter, by amount, type, and eight- digit CU based on the 7- year anticipated impacts and also
shows projects that were initiated in a previous quarter and whose status has changed this quarter.
This table is also organized by eco- region to correlate with preservation accounting.

Table 4 shows the current Net Restoration Assets that EEP has available for debiting by river basin
and cataloging unit ( GU). EEP’s Net Restoration Assets are calculated by taking the Total EEP
Assets ( listed in Table 2) and subtracting the amounts already debited to meet the In Lieu Fee
Program and the EEP MOA requirements. No restoration assets have been debited thus far to meet
EEP MOA restoration requirements. To date, only high quality preservation sites ( Table 3) have
been used for permitting DOT transportation projects under the EEP MOA agreement. The 1 : 1
restoration component for these permits will be addressed in accordance with the timeline and
protocols set forth in the EEP MOA.
Table 4 lists the assets by “ restoration credits.” The restoration amounts for each asset was
converted to restoration credits by using the following restoration ratios: Stream Restoration 1 : 1,
Stream Enhancement I 2: 1, Stream Enhancement I1 2.5: 1, Wetland Restoration 1 : 1? Wetland
Creation 2: 1, Wetland Enhancement 3: 1. EEP inherited and undebited NCWRP and NCDOT
preservation sites are not included in Table 4.

* Net Assets = Total Assets - ILF mitigation debits - EEP MOA mitigation debits. ILF Mitigation
debits were assumed equal all NCWRY Assets for the purposes of this calculation. This is a
conservative estimate in that there are actually some surplus assets remaining fiom the WRP ILF
restoration sites.
** The negative balance (- SOOlQ will be offset by EEP's 2004 RFP's that are currently under
review.

Ecosystem Enhancement Program ( EEP)
MISSION
The mission of the Ecosystem Enhancement Program is to restore, enhance, preserve and
protect the functions associated with wetlands, streams and riparian areas including but not
limited to those necessary for the restoration, maintenance and protection of water quality
and riparian habitats throughout North Carolina.
VISION
The Ecosystem Enhancement Program is a model organization that protects, enhances, and
restores the ecological function of North Carolina’s natural resources through advance
mitigation.
PURPOSE
The purpose of the Ecosystem Enhancement Program is to provide a comprehensive,
natural resource enhancement program that identifies ecosystem needs at the local
watershed level. The EEP further preserves, enhances, and restores ecological functions
within the target watersheds while addressing impacts from anticipated NCDOT
transportation projects.
