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.

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.

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?

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. ~ _ Ec. o system Enhancement Program QuarterlyAport January 1 - March 3 1 ~ 2 W . 34

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.

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.

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.
