DRAFT Lucky Hit Mitigation Bank BLH WVAMitigation Banking Instrument (Mbi) • January 5th, 2018
Notes: (1) The mitigation banking instrument (MBI) agreement was signed on November 16, 2016. (2) This WVA analysis includes only the 87.6 acres to be reestablished with a bottomland hardwood forest (total area in conservation easement is 89.8; see figure 2 in the MBI). According to the MBI an upland buffer (2.2 acres) is within the bank boundary but no restoration would be done there so that area was not included in the calculation of the mitigation potential. (3) No monitoring reports were available to review and adjust, if needed, WVA numbers from the plan presented in the MBI. (4) This assumption document presents information developed for use of the certified WVA for this mitigation bank in a standard format as requested by USACE NOD. This bank was previously assessed with the Louisiana Wetland Rapid Assessment Method (LRMA) 2.0; the assumptions applied to the WVA closely follow those developed by the Hurricane and Storm Risk Reduction System (HSDRRS) Habitat Evaluation Team (HET)
Pecan Bayou Mitigation Bank BLH WVAMitigation Banking Instrument (Mbi) • August 13th, 2014
Notes: (1) The mitigation banking instrument (MBI) agreement was signed on January 31, 2012. . (2) This WVA analysis includes only the 184.3 acres to be reestablished with bottomland hardwood forest. According to the MBI a hydric forest inclusion credit was given of 3.2 acres of existing BLH within the bank boundary. Using the WVA assumptions, existing forest acres would generate no net AAHUs because the FWOP and FWP would have the same calculated value. (3) This assumption document presents information developed for use of the certified WVA for this mitigation bank in a standard format as requested by USACE NOD. This bank was previously assessed with the Modified Charleston Method (MCM); the assumptions applied to the WVA closely follow those developed by the Hurricane and Storm Risk Reduction System (HSDRRS) Habitat Evaluation Team (HET) for BLH mitigation [LPV & WBV HSDRRS Mitigation: Wetland Value Assessment (WVA) Model Assumptions and Related Guidance (Revised/Updated: 3 March 201

Notes: (1) The mitigation banking instrument (MBI) agreement was prepared on May 1, 2020. (2) According to the Louisiana Wetland Rapid Assessment Method that was included in the MBI, swamp mitigation credits were generated for 202.5 acres of swamp restoration and 104 acres of swamp preservation. (3) This WVA analysis was conducted on those 306.5 acres. Hydrologic restoration of this area will involve backfilling of agricultural drainages with in situ soil material, re-establishing natural slopes, degrading drainage ditches, removing two earthen plugs in Bayou Portuguese, and installing a flap-gated culvert in place of the upstream plug.

Notes: (1) The mitigation banking instrument (MBI) agreement was signed in December 2012. (2) According to the Louisiana Wetland Rapid Assessment Method that was included in the MBI, mitigation credits were generated for 212 acres of bottomland hardwood (BLH) restoration (159.5 acres re-establishment and 52.5 acres of rehabilitation), 31.1 acres of enhancement and 29.6 acres of BLH preservation. (3) This WVA analysis was conducted on the 212 acres of restoration, phase 1.
