Powell Property Wetland and Stream As-Built Plan Chowan, 03010203 Bertie County, North Carolina-May, 2009 • 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report is submitted by Albemarle Restorations, LLC (AR) to document the completion of the restoration of 48.4 acres of riverine wetlands and 3,310 linear feet of stream (swamp run restoration) on the Powell Property located on Meadow Road near Buzzards Crossroads, Bertie County, North Carolina. Prior to restoration, the easement area was used entirely for agriculture production, primarily corn, soybeans and cotton. The existing farm fields were drained by several drainage ditches that traverse the site and outfall into Quioccosin Swamp. No natural plant communities of any biological value were found within the project area, and all ditches were actively maintained to remove vegetation and debris. The goal of the project was to restore a diverse riparian headwater "swamp run" system and its associated riverine wetlands to provide the following ecological benefits: 1) Water quality improvements, including nutrient, toxicant and sediment retention and reduction, increasing dissolved oxygen levels, reducing excessive algae growth, and reducing surface water temperatures in receiving waters by providing permanent shading in the form of a shrub/scrub and forested headwater wetland system. 2) Wildlife habitat enhancement by adding to the existing adjacent forested areas to create a continuous travel corridor between habitat blocks and provide a wide • range of habitat areas (open water, emergent, shrub/scrub and forested) for amphibians, reptiles, birds, insects and mammals. 3) Flood flow attenuation during storm events, to help which reduce sedimentation and erosion downstream, and improve long term water quality within the Chowan River. 4) Passive outdoor recreation and educational opportunities. In order to achieve these goals, restoration activities, in accordance with the approved Restoration Plan, began June 30, 2008 and were completed on January 29, 2009. Restoration consisted of grading the headwater riverine complex at varying elevations to create microtopography and braided channels that emulated natural "swamp run" systems found within the Chowan River Basin. The surrounding riverine wetlands were restored by grading the existing farmland to create wide floodplains and seasonally saturated wetlands. Native trees and shrubs were planted on site during January 27, 28, and 29, 2009, to restore habitat and create a species diverse wetland system. Additionally, an emergent wetland seed mixture was applied concurrent with the finish grading to provide immediate habitat and water quality benefits. All planting and grading was conducted in accordance with the approved restoration plan. Ten permanent water level monitoring gauges were installed on January 29, 2008 at random and varying locations and elevations throughout the riverine wetland portions of the site to measure subsurface water elevations. Additionally, two monitoring gauges • were installed at a reference wetland site. Locations of all installed and proposed monitoring devices and vegetative plots are shown on Sheet M-1 in Appendix B. Ten ALBEMARLE RESTORATIONS, LLC. 2 Powell Property Wetland and Stream As-Built Plan Chowan, 03010203 Bertie County, North Carolina -May, 2009 • vegetative monitoring plots have been permanently monumented. Each plot is a 10m X 10m square, as recommended by the CVS-EEP Protocol for recording vegetation. These quadrants will be monitored for a minimum five-year period, or until success of the project can be validated. Monitoring Reports will be submitted to the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) by December 31 of the year in which the monitoring was conducted. The reports will include all water elevation data and CVS-EEP Protocol vegetation data. The monitoring gauges will be checked four times per year, at which time a visual assessment of inundated areas will be made. The targeted plant community is a swamp run and riverine wetland mosaic. The site will be deemed successful if the acreages of each regime falls within a reasonable range related to the design during normal climatic conditions. Site hydrology during years of excessive rainfall or extreme drought will be assessed with climatic conditions in mind and will be compared with data collected at the reference wetland site.

On July 3, 2006, AR entered into a contract with EEP for the procurement of 70 riverine wetland mitigation units (WMU's) and 3,310 stream mitigation units (SMU's) on the Powell Property. The number of acres proposed for wetland restoration was later reduced to 48.4 (48.4 WMU's) based upon the Army Corps of Engineers request that restoration only be performed on acreage with strong hydric soil characteristics. Restoration of the site occurred during the fall of 2008. Table 2 below summarizes the project history. ALBEMARLE RESTORATIONS, LLC. 3 Powell Property Wetland and Stream As-Built Plan Chowan, 03010203 Bertie County, North Carolina -May, 2009 is Table 2: Project History January 2008 Reference Wetland Studied May, 29 2008 Restoration Plan Approved June 27, 2008 thru January 15, 2009 Construction January 27-29, 2009 Planting January 29, 2009 Monitoring Gauges Installed December 31, 2009 (Scheduled) First Monitoring Report (Year 1) 2.2 Pre-existing Site Conditions The overall Powell property consists of approximately 378 +/- acres, 56 of which are designated for this project site. The project is located on the eastern portion of the farm and has a total drainage area of approximately 871 acres. The site was previously bisected by a large drainage ditch that runs south to north and forms the headwaters of Quioccosin Swamp. There were also several small ditches and drainage tiles that intersected the project area contributing flow to the main ditch. The stream restoration component of the project involved restoring the main drainage ditch and portions of two smaller ditches to a headwater swamp run. The majority of the project area is bordered by agricultural fields to the east and west, with timberland to the south and Quioccosin Swamp to the north. Degradation to the channels and surrounding areas by past agricultural activities, including channel straightening and planting of row crops up to the • channel edges, has allowed excessive nutrient and sediment accumulation in the channels and downstream receiving waters. These past activities have also served to dramatically reduce the flood flow attenuation capabilities of the channels. Appendix A contains photographs taken during a pre-construction site visit, showing the degradation of the channel and the proximity of tilled ground. 2.3 Construction and Planting Restoration activities, in accordance with the approved Restoration Plan, began on June 27, 2008 with the installation of recommended erosion control practices and grading of the headwater swamp run system. After the swamp run (stream) portion of the project was completed, the adjacent riverine wetlands were graded. Topsoil, which had been stockpiled during initial construction, was redistributed during final grading. Lastly, the wide, gently sloping outlet was completed. Additionally, at EEP's request, changes in the original design were made at the confluence of the two swamp runs (see sheets D-2 & D- 3).On January 15, 2009 all grading operations were completed. The As- Built survey for the grading is included in Appendix B, sheets G-2 thru G-3. Tree and shrub planting on the project site was completed on January 28 and 29, 2009 using bare-root seedlings and live stakes (live stakes were used for the black willows, Salix nigra). The emergent wetland seed mixture was spread just after grading was completed. All planting was done in accordance with the approved restoration plan, the • exception being the replacement of some species due to availability and planting spacing. Additionally, the planting rate was increased to 601 stems per acre, as opposed to the 350 ALBEMARLE RESTORATIONS, LLC. 4 Powell Property Wetland and Stream As-Built Plan Chowan, 03010203 Bertie County, North Carolina-May, 2009 is stems/acre originally proposed in the restoration plan.

Powell Property Wetland and Stream As-Built Plan Chowan, 03010203 Bertie County, North Carolina-May, 2009 0 2.4 Post Construction Site Conditions Within two months of project completion, the restored swamp run and adjacent riverine wetlands had experienced "overbank" flooding. The swamp run has been inundated during each periodic site visit since the project was completed. Photographs of the site taken in May 2009 are found in Appendix A. 3.0 Monitoring Plan Monitoring of the site is to be completed per EEP's guidelines titled Content, Format and Data Requirements for EEP Monitoring Reports for a five year period, with monitoring beginning in fall 2009 (Year 1) and concluding in 2013 (Year 5). Photographs and/or video footage of major flow events, to the extent that is possible, will be included in each year's monitoring report. Monitoring methods for the headwater swamp run system will be in accordance with the "Information Regarding Stream Restoration with Emphasis on the Coastal Plain" as outlined in 3.1 below, and monitoring for the associated riverine wetlands will consist of vegetative and hydrology monitoring as outlined in sections 3.2 and 3.3 below. 3.1 Headwater Swamp Run Monitoring • 3.1.1 Swamp Run Hydrology Monitoring Monitoring of the riparian headwater systems will focus on wetland hydrology, vegetative survival, and precipitation-driven flow events. While the methods regarding the monitoring of hydrology and vegetation are well established, flow documentation within zero-order stream systems is the topic of on-going research throughout the Coastal Plain. Both qualitative and quantitative information will be used to properly document the occurrence of flow within the proposed restored zero-order stream valley. Monitoring of the headwater swamp run system created on the site will be in accordance with success criteria outlined in "Information Regarding Stream Restoration with Emphasis on the Coastal Plain." According to the guidance, the monitoring of these systems should be geared toward documenting restored functions rather than using traditional geomorphic studies. Monitoring will consist of assessing groundwater elevations in the swamp run, continuous water surface elevation documentation, vegetation plot monitoring, and methods to assess flow patterns and duration of inundation. If it is determined that surface water inundation and coverage, surface water flow, and vegetation establishment are all within the attainment criteria set forth below, the restoration of a functional headwater swamp run will be deemed successful. Surface and sub-surface hydrology within the swamp run will be monitored and evidence • of flow will be documented. To monitor both subsurface and surface water elevations, three continuous recording pressure transducer type water level loggers suspended in ALBEMARLE RESTORATIONS, LLC. 6 Powell Property Wetland and Stream As-Built Plan Chowan, 03010203 Bertie County, North Carolina-May, 2009 is monitoring gauges have been installed within the limits the of the swamp run. The three monitoring gauges have perforations in the PVC to allow water into gauge so the logger can track surface water influences. These gauges are arranged so that they are at the lowest point of the valley and form a perpendicular axis across the valley when used in conjunction with the monitoring gauges in the riverine wetlands. Data from the gauges will be downloaded from each monitoring station four times per year, and during each site visit hand measurements will be taken and visual observation noted to ensure the accuracy of the water level loggers. The lateral extent of inundation will also be approximated at each site visit and recorded. In order to infer flow, data collected from these gauges will be correlated with elevation data from the longitudinal profiles, the on site rain gauge, and the offsite rain gauges in Murfreesboro and Edenton and presented in graphical format. Site visits will also be conducted following rain events to document the upstream extent of observed flow within each reach. GPS data will be collected to mark this location. During runoff/storm events, pictures and/or video will be recorded to the extent practicable and provided in the annual monitoring reports in DVD format. Qualitative data will be collected during the on-site investigations to document surface water flow. This shall be accomplished using photographic evidence of observed flow coupled with a preponderance of field indicators of recent flow events in the form: • a natural line impressed on the bank, • shelving, • changes in soil characteristics, • destruction of terrestrial vegetation, • presence of litter and debris, • wracking, • vegetation matted down, bent or absent, • sediment sorting, • leaf litter disturbed or washed away, • scour, • deposition, • bed and bank formation, • water staining, • and change in plant community. All field indicators present will be documented in each monitoring report. All quantitative and qualitative data will be used to document the upstream limit of flow, which will provide the basis for length of successful zero order stream restoration (i.e. valley length). The primary success criteria for the Riparian Headwater/Zero Order Stream system will be the documentation of 2 flow events using the techniques discussed above within a • normal rainfall year in 3 of the 5 years of monitoring. Additional monitoring may be necessary in the event of abnormal climatic conditions. ALBEMARLE RESTORATIONS, LLC. Powell Property Wetland and Stream As-Built Plan Chowan, 03010203 Bertie County, North Carolina -May, 2009 0 Precipitation Documentation: Rainfall data will be collected on-site through an event rainfall logger. This gauge has been placed directly adjacent to the project site, and will record rainfall intensity, duration, time and quantity. Rainfall data from two other sites, one in Murfreesboro, North Carolina, approximately 26 miles northwest of the project site and another in Edenton, North Carolina, approximately 20 miles southeast of the site will be used as references to determine the deviation from climatologically normal rainfall in the area. The rainfall data will be assessed to determine the degree to which climatologic extremes (i.e. drought or excessive rainfall) affect subsurface water levels, and surface water extent and flow. 3.1.2 Swamp Run Vegetation Monitoring One vegetation monitoring plot (plot #2) has been established within the swamp run proper, while two other plots (plots #8 and #10) have been positioned to encompass both the swamp run and the riverine wetland components of the site. Plots will be 10 meter by 10 meter square plots. Plot sampling will coincide with that of the wetland vegetation plots and continue for the duration of the 5-year monitoring period or until the site is deemed successful. Vegetation plot sampling will consist of Level 1: Planted stem inventory plots for the first year, and Level 2: Total woody stem inventory lots for remaining years, as defined in the CVS-EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation Version • 4.0. In accordance with the US Army Corps of Engineers, Stream Mitigation Guidelines, April 2003, Albemarle Restorations will maintain survivability of planted woody species at a minimum of 320 stems/acre through year three. A ten percent mortality rate will be accepted in year four (288 stems/acre) and another ten percent in year five resulting in a required minimum survival rate of 260 trees/acre through year five. The vegetation component of the project will be considered successful if the planted wetland species dominate the tree and shrub layers in the planted wetland areas. It is expected that volunteer species will colonize the site from adjacent and nearby wetland and swamp run areas. If these species become dominant, the wetland indicator status of each species will be assessed, and the site will be deemed successful if the dominant species in each layer are FAC or wetter. Non-native invasive species will not be included in this assessment. 3.2 Riverine Wetland Monitoring 3.2.1 Riverine Wetland Hydrology Monitoring Monitoring of hydrology on the riverine wetland portion of the restoration site will be completed using seven continuous recording water level loggers suspended in two-inch PVC monitoring gauges, installed on January 29, 2009. Sheet M-1 of Appendix B shows locations of the monitoring gauges. The gauges have been located to assess subsurface • water levels at various elevations on the site and to coordinate with the gauges in the swamp run. Data will be downloaded from each monitoring gauge four times per year, ALBEMARLE RESTORATIONS, LLC. 8 Powell Property Wetland and Stream As-Built Plan Chowan, 03010203 Bertie County, North Carolina -May, 2009 • and during each site visit hand measurements will be taken to ensure the accuracy of the water level loggers. Groundwater elevation data collected from each monitoring gauge will be presented relative to the ground surface elevation at the gauge location in graph form to demonstrate whether wetland hydrology has been attained. Wetland hydrology shall be defined as inundation or saturation to within 12 inches of the ground surface for a minimum hydroperiod of 5-8% of the growing season. Based on an average growing season of 231 days for the project area, using the Lewiston WETS table NRCS data which is the closest data point available, success criteria shall be attained if wetland hydrology is achieved within the range of 12 to 19 consecutive days during the growing season In addition to measurements of sub-surface water elevations, rainfall data will be collected on site through an event rainfall logger. This gauge, installed on January 29, 2009, at the edge of the project site, will record rainfall intensity, duration, time, and quantity. A visual estimate of the extent of inundation will also be made and documented on site for inclusion into the monitoring report. Rainfall data from two other sites, one Murfreesboro, North Carolina, approximately 26 miles northwest of the project site and another in Edenton, North Carolina, approximately 20 miles southeast of the site will be used as references to determine the deviation from climatologically normal rainfall in the area. The rainfall data will be assessed to determine degree to which climatologic extremes (i.e. drought or excessive rainfall) affect project hydrology. To further gauge the affect of seasonal and annual variations in precipitation and to set a target hydrologic range for the restored wetlands, a reference site will be monitored near the restoration area (Sheet R-1, Appendix B). Two hydrologic monitoring gauges were installed within the reference wetland. The gauges are located in similar position in the landscape as the restored riverine wetlands, and will be monitored in the same manner as the project monitoring gauges. In cases where severe drought or other natural occurrences effect groundwater levels which prevent hydrologic success criteria from being achieved, data collected at the reference site will be used to verify that fluctuations in groundwater elevations are due to natural occurrences and not to deficiencies in the project design. 3.2.2 Riverine Wetland Vegetation Monitoring Seven vegetation monitoring plots (plots #1, #3 through #7, and #9) have been established to provide a representative sample of the riverine wetlands while two other plots (plots #8 and #10) have been positioned to encompass both the swamp run and the riverine wetland components of the site. Plots are 10 meter by 10 meter square plots. The initial plot sampling will occur in November 2009 (Year 1), with successive vegetative monitoring occurring once per year for 5 years, or until the site is deemed successful. is Vegetation plot sampling will consist of Level 1: Planted stem inventory plots for the first ALBEMARLE RESTORATIONS, LLC. 9 Powell Property Wetland and Stream As-Built Plan Chowan, 03010203 Bertie County, North Carolina-May, 2009 year, and Level 2: Total woody stem inventory lots for remaining years, as defined in the CVS-EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation Version 4.0. In accordance with the US Army Corps of Engineers, Stream Mitigation Guidelines, April 2003, Albemarle Restorations will maintain survivability of planted woody species planted to a minimum of 320 stems/acre thru year three. A ten percent mortality rate will be accepted in year four (288 stems/acre) and another ten percent in year five resulting in a required minimum survival rate of 260 trees/acre through year five. The vegetation component of the project will be considered successful if the planted wetland species dominate the tree and shrub layers in the planted wetland areas. It is expected that volunteer species will colonize the site from adjacent and nearby wetland areas. If these species become dominant, the wetland indicator status of each species will be assessed, and the site will be deemed successful if the dominant species in each layer are FAC or wetter. Non-native invasive species will not be included in this assessment. In order to set a target vegetative community for the restored wetlands, a reference site was chosen which is near to the restoration area (Sheet R-1, Appendix B). The reference wetland for the target vegetative community is the same wetland where reference gauges were installed for wetland hydrology monitoring. Vegetation in the reference wetland is dominated by woody plants including sweet bay magnolia (Magnolia virginiana), willow oak (Quercus phellos), water oak (Quercus nigra), red maple (Acer rubrum), loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), sweet gum (Liquidambar styraciflua), black gum (Nyssa sylvatica), and canebrake (Arundinaria gigantea). A Routine Wetland Determination Data Form was completed for the reference wetland and is included in Appendix D. 4.0 Maintenance and Contingency Maintenance of the site is expected to be minimal, as the site is proposed to function as a natural system. Periodic visual site inspections (four to five times per year) will be conducted to check for any issues of concern. If any of the following contingencies or issues arises during monitoring, Albemarle Restorations will take the necessary maintenance or corrective actions. The main concern for the site is the introduction of non-native invasive species. No invasive species were encountered during construction, and the site will be monitored to ensure that such species do not become established. If invasive species are found, corrective action including spraying, mowing, or removing such species will be conducted if the invasive species are determined to be detrimental to the project's success. If installed woody plant material is seen having a survival rate of less than 320 stems/acre, replanting will occur to maintain the required percent survival rate during the first three years of monitoring. is If gauge data shows that wetland hydrology has not been achieved, the gauge data will be analyzed in relation to the reference wetland gauge data and rainfall data obtained on-site ALBEMARLE RESTORATIONS, LLC. 10 Powell Property Wetland and Stream As-Built Plan Chowan, 03010203 Bertie County, North Carolina-May, 2009 and off-site to determine if drought or drier than normal conditions have existed in coincidence with periods of non-attainment of wetland hydrology. If this is found to be the case, AR will ask that the site be evaluated during normal climatic conditions. If it is determined that wetland hydrology has not been achieved, corrective action will be taken to enhance wetland hydrology to the site. Other potential issues including animal damage, disease or pest infestation, or damage from extreme weather events will be noted during monitoring, with any apparent problem areas mapped for inclusion into the monitoring report. The monitoring will also include any corrective actions taken or proposed. 5.0 References Albemarle Restorations, LLC.
