Instead of bringing our comments to a meeting with NCDOT as we have done in the past, we have elected to provide our written comments to NCDOT for their review prior to having any sort of meeting. If any outstanding issues remain after NCDOT has had an opportunity to review our comments, we would plan to meet at the Transportation Building in Raleigh on March 8, 2001. As there is a time factor involved, we would like to provide our comments back to NCDOT within 30 days of the receipt of the reports. To that end, a response via e-mail is perfectly acceptable. Please provide your comments on these reports to the appropriate NCDOT Project Manager with a copy to me in Wilmington. If you have any questions regarding this message, I may be reached at 910-251-4725. Point of Contact at NCDOT is Randy Griffin.

Originally constructed in 1997, this site in Greene County provides mitigation for several NCDOT projects in the Neuse River Basin. The Atlantic White Cedar area in the northwest corner of the site was planted in early 1999. Following planting, an additional vegetation transect and two additional monitoring gauges were installed to monitor this portion of the site. At the request of the Corps of Engineers, the hydrologic monitoring requirements of the site were changed from the requirements stated in the approved mitigation plan. The riverine portion of the site must show saturation for 12.5% of the growing season, while the non-riverine areas must show saturation within 12 inches of the surface for at least 8% of the growing season. Hydrologic monitoring in 2000 showed ten of the sixteen gauges recorded saturation for more than 12.5% of the growing season; two of these gauges are located in riverine areas. The remainder of the gauges showed saturation for less than 5% of the season. Vegetation monitoring yielded an average tree density of 544 trees per acre, which is above the minimum success criteria. NCDOT recommends that monitoring of the site continue. n 1 1 1 1 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Project Description The Gurley Tract Mitigation Site is located in Greene County, approximately 12 miles northeast of Goldsboro (Figure 1). The site provides 170 acres of riverine and non-riverine restoration and enhancement. Gurley Tract provides compensatory mitigation for several projects in the Neuse River basin. The following plant communities are included in the site: Coastal Plain bottomland hardwood swamp, non-riverine wet hardwood forest, streambed Atlantic White Cedar Forest, and Cypress/ Tupelo Swamp. 1.2 Purpose In order to demonstrate successful mitigation, the site must achieve success for five consecutive years. Success criteria are based on federal guidelines for wetland mitigation. These guidelines stipulate criteria for both hydrologic conditions and vegetation survival. The following report describes the results of both the hydrologic and vegetation monitoring during 2000 at the Gurley Tract Mitigation Site. Included is an analysis of data on the site itself as well as local climate conditions during the growing season. 1.3 Project History The site was initially monitored for both wetland hydrology and vegetation in ' 1998. Since the publication of the 1998 Annual Monitoring Report, additional work has been completed on the mitigation site. Planting of Atlantic White Cedar occurred in the winter of 1999. During the fall of 1999, remedial construction I took place along the Nahunta Swamp Streambank. This construction involved repairing washes along the streambank with stone flumes and matting. 1 December 1997 January 1998 Spring 1998 May - November 1998 October 1998 February 1999 March - November 1999 August 1999 September & October 1999 October 2000 March - November 2000 Site Constructed Site Planted Monitoring Gauges Installed Hydrologic Monitoring (1 yr.)

SITE MAP 0 1 it 11 1 1 1 F J 2.0 HYDROLOGY 2.1 Success Criteria ' In accordance with federal guidelines for wetland mitigation, the success criteria for hydrology states that the area must be inundated or saturated (within 12 inches of the surface) by surface or ground water for at least a consecutive 12.5% of the growing season. Areas inundated less than 5% of the growing season are always classified as non-wetlands. Areas inundated between 5% and 12.5% of the growing season can be classified as wetlands depending upon factors such as the presence of hydrophytic vegetation and hydric soils. Upon request of the US Army Corps of Engineers, the hydrologic monitoring requirements for the Gurley Tract site have been altered from the original mitigation plan. The new success criteria states that the riverine portions of the site must be saturated within 12 inches of the surface for at least 12.5% of the growing season. The non-riverine areas must be saturated for at least 8% of the growing season. Monitoring will be conducted for a total of five years. The riverine and non-riverine portions of the site are illustrated in Figure 2; riverine areas on this map are shaded. According to the Soil Conservation Service, the growing season in Greene County extends from March 17 to November 15, approximately 244 days. A consecutive 12.5% of the growing season for Gurley Tract would equal 30.5 1 days; a consecutive 8% would be equivalent to 19.5 days. Local climate must represent average conditions for the area in order for the hydrologic data to be valid. 2.2 Hydrologic Description Nine monitoring gauges, one rain gauge, and two surface gauges were installed in the spring of 1998 (Figure 2). Since the initial monitoring gauge installation, seven additional gauges were installed. One surface water gauge was also installed in the "mother's ditch" channel in the center of the site. The automatic monitoring gauges record the depth to the groundwater level. Daily readings were taken throughout the growing season. Appendix A contains a plot of the water depth for each monitoring gauge and surface gauge for 2000. Precipitation events are included on each graph as bars. The precipitation data represents that of a North Carolina State Climate Office rain gauge in Goldsboro (AG), North Carolina. This was the closest gauge with current rainfall data to the mitigation site. However, an Infinity Rain Gauge was installed on the site on May 1, 2000. Data from the Goldsboro (AG) Climate Office was used until May 1 while the remainder of the 2000 rainfall data came from the Infinity rain gauge onsite. 1 i n t 1 Figure 2.Monitoring Gauge Locations t OWC -----mow ' r i 7- r ? t i I ,r t/ v I F F?SI \ 4} V ?\ a m a o? z W W W w i O a? v a m v. m 1 1 1 C1 11 1 1 1 1 1 2.3 Results of Hydrologic Monitoring 2.3.1 Site Data The total number of consecutive days that the groundwater was within twelve inches of the surface was determined for each gauge.

This does not necessarily mean there is a problem with the gauge, for example, when a graph reaches the 2 inch line, the watertable is at least 2 inches above the ground. Specific Monitoring Gauge Problems: Data from GT-15 could not be retrieved during March, May, June, September, or December due to high water. Data from GT-8 could not be retrieved during September or December due to high water. GT-10 was installed and set to begin recording on 3/30/00. The battery in GT-5 was replaced and set to record 3/30/00. The battery in GT-5 (stopped recording 4/7/00) was replaced and set to record 5/2/00. The battery in GT-9 (stopped recording 4/2/00) was replaced and set to record 5/2/00. The battery in GTSG-2 (stopped recording 4/17/00) was replaced and set to record 5/2/00. The battery in GT-5 (stopped recording 5/1/00) was replaced and set to record 5/31/00. The battery in GT-9 (stopped recording 5/17/00) was replaced and set to record 5/31/00. The battery in GTSG-2 (stopped recording 5/2/00) was replaced and set to record 5/31/00. GT-9 was replaced on 6/2/00 and was set to begin recording on 6/29/00. GTSG-2 was replaced on 6/28/00 and was set to begin recording on 6/29/00. GT-4, GT-11, GT-13 and GTSG-3 and were replaced and set to begin recording on 12/7/00. r 2.3.2 Climatic Data Figure 4 is a comparison of 2000 monthly rainfall to historical precipitation for the area. The two lines represent the 30th and 70th percentiles of monthly precipitation for Goldsboro, NC. The bars are the monthly rainfall totals for 2000. The historical data was collected by the National Climatic Data Center; the State Climate Office of North Carolina provided the recent rainfall data. Goldsboro received average rainfall with the exception of May, July, October, and November which were all below average.

An additional five gauges located in the non-riverine areas were also saturated for more than 12.5% of the growing season. Yet the remainder of the gauges only showed saturation for less than 5% of the season. These results indicate possible problems with some areas of the site. Additional monitoring should indicate potential solutions. 1 1 1 1 10 17 1 I 1 1 ' 3.0 VEGETATION: GURLEY MITIGATION SITE (YEAR 3 OF 3) 3.1 Success Criteria Success Criteria states that there must be a minimum of 320 trees per acre living ' for at least three consecutive years. 1 3.2 Description of Species The following tree species were planted in the Wetland Restoration Area: ' Zone 1: Coastal Plain Bottom-Land Hardwood Forest (18.86 acres) Taxodium distichum, baldcypress Fraxinus pennsylvanica, green ash Quercus falcata var. pagodaefolia, cherrybark oak Quercus michauxii, swamp chestnut oak Quercus phellos, willow oak Quercus nigra, water oak Nyssa aquatica, water tupelo Quercus lyrata, overcup oak 1 Zone 2: Non-Riverine Wet Hardwood Forest (17.57 acres) Taxodium distichum, bald cypress Fraxinus pennsylvanica, green ash Quercus falcata var. pagodaefolia, cherrybark oak Quercus michauxii, swamp chestnut oak Quercus phellos, willow oak Quercus nigra, water oak Quercus alba, white oak ' Pinus serotina, pond pine Platanus occidentalis, American sycamore Nyssa aquatics, water tupelo ' Quercus lyrata, overcup oak Liriodendron tulipfera, tulip poplar Zone 3: Streambank Levee Forest (3 acres) Quercus michauxii, swamp chestnut oak ' Quercus albs, white oak Pinus serotina, pond pine Platanus occidentalis, american sycamore ' Quercus lyrata, overcup oak Ll 11 1 1 1 V--, L 1 r 1 0 u 1 1 J Salix nigra, black willow Betula nigra, river birch Zone 4: Atlantic White Cedar Forest (7 Acres Planted February 1999) Chamaecyparis thyoides, Atlantic white cedar Nyssa aquatica, water tupelo Fraxinus pennsylvanica, green ash Quercus falcata var. pagodaefolia, cherrybark oak 3.3 Results of Vegetation Monitoring Table 2.

The actual number of planted trees which occur within the plot are counted. This number is equated to the number within each plot, which represents 680 trees per acre (average). The survival monitoring number is 12 TOTAL AVERAGE DENSITY 544 LJ 1 compared to the planted number to obtain survival percentage. This percentage is applied to the 680 trees per acre to obtain an estimated tree per acre for the site. (Density = monitoring count / planted trees x 680) Site Notes: Zone 1: Other species noted: red cedar, aster, sweetgum, fennel, goldenrod, sumac, baccharis, broomsedge, woolgrass, black willow, cane, briars, muscadine, plume grass, juncus, carex and red maple. Heavy cover also noted in plot T1. 2 feet of standing water in plot T4, 6 -8 inches ' standing water in T5. Beaver activity noted in plot T4. Zone 2: Other species noted: aster, sweetgum (6'-8'), broomsedge and sicklepod. Zone 3: Trees surviving along levee. Trees in this zone are not counted due to the limited size of the zone. Zone 4: Other species noted: black willow, juncus, smartweed, alder, cattails, red maple, juncus and volunteer oaks. Deer are bedding in plot 1. Vehicle traffic noted in plot T2. 3.4 Conclusions Of the 426 acres of this site, approximately 46 acres involved tree planting. ' There were 6 test plots and 5 transects established throughout the planting areas. The vegetation monitoring of the planted areas revealed an average density to be 547 trees per acre for zone 1, 599 trees per acre for zone 2 and 453 trees per acre for zone 4. All zones are well above the minimum requirement of 320 trees per acre. u 1 13 1 J 1 1 1 1 4.0 OVERALL CONCLUSIONS/ RECOMMENDATIONS • Monitoring of site hydrology and vegetation will continue in 2001.
