Subject: Prospectus for Mitigation Bank at Guilford County Prison Farm
for Piedmont Triad International Airport
The Piedmont Triad Airport Authority (PTAA, Sponsor) team has prepared this Prospectus
pursuant to 33 CFR Part 332.8(d)(2) to summarize information regarding a Mitigation Bank
proposed at the Guilford County Prison Farm in order to support informed Interagency Review
Team (IRT) comment. The Prospectus is also consistent with North Carolina General Assembly
Session Law 2008-152, affecting state mitigation requirements for streams, wetlands, isolated
wetlands, buffers and nutrient offset. Preliminary site-specific information and mitigation
potential is summarized in the enclosed Conceptual Mitigation Plan.
At this time, PTAA is only requesting informal interagency review of the following and enclosed
information. Informal agency comments will be addressed in a comprehensive Mitigation
Banking Instrument (MBI) and final Mitigation Plan to be developed for public comment and
IRT approval.
(i) Objectives
The objective of the Prison Farm Mitigation Bank is to provide approximately 17,500 linear feet
of compensatory stream mitigation, 20 acres of compensatory wetland mitigation, and 65 acres of
vegetative buffer (as summarized in the enclosed Conceptual Mitigation Plan) in anticipation of
future unavoidable stream, wetland, and buffer impacts at the Piedmont Triad International
Airport (PTIA).

Page 2 of 4
(ii) Establishment and Operation
PTAA will establish and operate the Bank as Sponsor consistent with the approved MBI to be
developed in consultation with the IRT consisting of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(FWS), the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC), and the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ).
(iii) Proposed Service Area
The Geographical Service Area (GSA) is the designated area wherein a bank can reasonably be
expected to provide appropriate compensation for impacts to wetland and other aquatic
resources. The GSA for this Bank shall include the Haw River Hydrologic Unit
(HUC 03030002) within the Cape Fear River Basin in North Carolina. Use of the Bank to
compensate for impacts beyond the GSA may be considered by USACE and NCDWQ on a case-
by-case basis.
(iv) Need and Feasibility
Streams and wetlands remaining at PTAA or on adjacent property which are not protected by
Conservation Easement may be subject to impact from future (as yet undetermined) projects.
Potential impacts will be avoided and minimized to the extent practicable consistent with Clean
Water A-t-ecti 404(b)(1) guidelines: - However, PTAA is subject to Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) regulations and cannot always completely avoid jurisdictional areas.
Mitigating unavoidable impacts to the jurisdictional waters and wetlands remaining at PTIA is
being discouraged on or near the airport per the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the
FAA, the U.S. Air Force, USACE, EPA, FWS, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to
Address Aircraft-Wildlife Strikes. On-site mitigation has the potential to attract waterfowl and
wildlife, posing a threat to aircraft, per FAA Advisory Circular on Hazardous Wildlife
Attractants on or near Airports.
At this time there are no Mitigation Banks listed by USACE or listed by NCDWQ serving the
Cape Fear River Basin with available credit for HU-03030002 --However, the Little-Alamance
Travis/Tickle Creek Local Watershed Plan (Phase III) has identified the Guilford County Prison
Farm as a potential site for conservation and restoration. Feasibility for wetland and stream
mitigation at the Guilford County Prison farm is discussed in the enclosed Conceptual Mitigation
Plan.
(v) Ownership and Long-Term Management
Guilford County currently owns and operates the Site as the Guilford County Prison Farm.
Guilford County will maintain ownership of the property subject to the Mitigation Bank (specific
wetland, stream, and buffer restoration, enhancement, creation and/or preservation areas). A
October 13, 2008

Conservation Easement will be dedicated in perpetuity over the Mitigation Bank area. The
PTAA team of consultants and contactors will be responsible for maintenance and monitoring
until success criteria are met, at which time responsibilities may be transferred to Guilford
County or an appropriate conservation entity such as the Piedmont Land Conservancy or the Haw
River Trail for long-term management.
(vi) Sponsor Qualifications
The PTAA team, including Michael Baker Engineering, has developed or is in the process of
developing over 100 acres of wetland mitigation, 27,000 linear feet of stream mitigation, and
50 acres of vegetative buffer for unavoidable impacts (USACE Action ID 200021655, DWQ
Certification 3428) at PTIA. as follows:

Brush Creek 200 14,510 7.4 5.3 69.9 Year 1
Cause Farm 7,670 4.0 Year 3
The on-site mitigation areas are the subject of a Conservation Declaration recorded with Guilford
County for their perpetual protection. Causey Farm (off-site mitigation) was developed by
Restoration Systems specific to PTAA needs.
(vii) Suitability and Water Rights
The ecological suitability of the Mitigation Bank site for restoration, enhancement, creation, and
preservation is documented in the enclosed Conceptual Mitigation Plan. Assurance of
appropriate wetland and stream hydrology will be addressed during development of the final
Mitigation Plan.

1.0 Introduction
The Guilford County Prison Farm (Site) is located north of Gibsonville and includes portions of
Guilford and Alamance Counties (Figure 1). The Site is located in United States Geological
Survey (USGS) Hydrologic Unit (HU) 03030002 of the Cape Fear River Basin, on land that is
owned by Guilford County.
The Site is currently operated by the Guilford County Sheriff's Department as an active farm.
The facility is the only currently operational county prison farm in North Carolina and includes a
complex of barns, administrative buildings, a rifle range, and minimum security inmate detention
areas. The remainder of the site is characterized by cattle pasture, open fields, and isolated
hardwood forest stands (Figure 2). Streams and wetlands within the Site have been impacted
by the clearing of native forest vegetation, channelization, and cattle access. According to the
County Sheriff's Department, the farm maintains a herd of 350 Black Angus cattle. Row crops
include corn, hay, soy beans, and wheat. The farm uses liquid fertilizer and pesticides. The
County also operates five greenhouses for the development of landscape plants as well as
woodworking, ornamental concrete, automotive, and small engine repair shops (Guilford County
Sheriffs Office, 2008).
The Site includes seven streams: Tickle Creek and one unnamed tributary (UT1) in the northern
portion of the property and Travis Creek and four unnamed tributaries (UT2, UT2A, UT2F and
UT3) on the southern portion of the property (Figure 2). Tickle Creek and Travis Creek
converge outside the project boundary to form a tributary to the Haw River. The Haw River,
which flows from northwest to southeast into the Jordan Lake reservoir, ultimately connects with
the Cape Fear River.
The purpose of this document is to describe the potential mitigation and conceptual design
approaches for the Site. Michael Baker Engineering, Inc. (Baker) was contracted by PTAA to
assess the Site for restoration feasibility and develop preliminary mitigation concepts. Baker
staff assessed streams and wetlands on the Site to determine the overall potential for functional
uplift using mitigation approaches. The majority of streams within the agricultural fields and
pasture land are unstable and can be characterized as oversized channels that have resulted
from bank erosion and channel incision. The bank erosion and down-cutting observed
throughout have been exacerbated by a combination of cattle trampling, channelization, and the
lack of a consistent riparian buffer.
Most of the hydric soils are located adjacent to Tickle and Travis Creek. The straightening and
subsequent incision of these channels impacted adjacent wetland hydrology resulting in a
discontinuous and reduced acreage of functioning riparian wetlands. These impacted areas
may have supported a larger palustrine forested wetland system in the past.
The primary goals of the project are to restore, enhance, and preserve stream and wetland
functions within the Haw River Basin and to provide mitigation credits for the Piedmont Triad
International Airport (PTIA). Examination of the available hydrology and soil data indicate that
there is potential for the restoration of a productive stream ecosystem with associated riparian
wetlands. Mitigation credit based on restoration, enhancement, and preservation of
approximately 17,555 linear feet of stream channel, 20.7 acres of wetlands, and 64.5 acres of
associated buffer is described in the following sections.
Guilford County Prison Farm
Conceptual Mitigation Plan Page 1 October 13, 2008
2.0 Site Description
Historic Land Use, Hydrology, Vegetation, Geology, and Soils are summarized in the following
subsections. Description of jurisdictional waters of the U.S., including wetlands, was provided to
the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the North Carolina Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) in
correspondence dated September 5 and September 24, 2008. Information provided therein
included USACE Routine Wetland Determination Data Forms, USACE Stream Quality
Assessment Forms, NCDWQ Wetland Rating Worksheets, NCDWQ Stream Identification
Forms, and available maps.
2.1 Historic Land Use
According to the Guilford County Sheriff's Department, the Guilford County Prison site opened
in 1935. The original dormitory building was built by the inmates, using rocks taken from the
surrounding fields. While additional activities have taken place on the Site in recent years (as
summarized in Section 1.0), the site remains predominantly utilized for agricultural production.
Past activities at the site included swine and tobacco production. Based on the County website,
these activities no longer take place at the site (Guilford County Sheriff's Office, 2008).
2.2 Hydrology
Streams and wetlands on the Site were altered in the past to promote drainage and increase
agricultural production. During conversion of the site, stream systems were channelized to
improve drainage which has resulted in the incision of the stream channels and reduction of
associated riparian wetland areas. Man-made open water impoundments are located in the
north (Pond 1), central (Ponds 2 and 3) and southeastern quadrants (Pond 4) (Figure 2). Tickle
Creek, an unnamed tributary (UT1, including an isolated wetland and several riparian wetlands),
and Pond 1 are within the Tickle Creek watershed (Figure 3). Travis Creek, UT2, UT2A, UT2F,
UT3, associated wetlands, and Ponds 2, 3, and 4 are surface waters in the Travis Creek
watershed.
2.3 Vegetation
Approximately 85 percent of the Prison Farm Property consists of open agricultural fields. The
remaining 15 percent is wooded. The wooded portions of the site consist of a combination of
Basic Mesic Forest in the uplands with Piedmont/Mountain Alluvial Forests and Bottomland
Forest (Schafale and Weakley, 1990) in the lower areas and floodplains on the site. Most
wooded areas lack understory vegetation due to extensive livestock use.
2.4 Geology
The underlying geology of the project area is divided into two distinct geological units within the
Carolina Slate Belt geologic formation. According to the Geologic Map of North Carolina, the
northern half consists of Granitic Rock (CZg) and the southern half consists of Gabbro and
Diorite (PzZg) (North Carolina Geological Survey [NCGS], 1998). The hydrophysiographic
region is characterized by broad, rolling, interstream divides across variable steep slopes along
well-defined drainage ways and receives moderately high rainfall with precipitation averaging
41 inches per year (Natural Resources Conservation Service [NRCS], 1977).
2.5 Soils
Approximately 49 acres on the subject property are mapped with hydric "A" soils according to
the Guilford and Alamance County Soil Surveys (Figure 4). Wehadkee silt loam (Wh) is the
Guilford County Prison Farm
Conceptual Mitigation Plan Page 2 October 13, 2008
primary hydric soil on the Guilford County part of the site, with smaller areas of Chewacla and
Congaree soils that may have inclusions of Wehadkee. Hydric soils on the Alamance County
part are made up of Worsham and mixed alluvial soil types. Hydric soils are mapped primarily
along the Tickle and Travis Creek riparian zones and less extensively along sections of UT2
and UT3. Additional soil types likely to occur within the proposed project easement are
Coronaca, Enon, Helena, and Mecklenburg (NRCS, 1960, 1977).

Conceptual Mitigation Plan Page 3 October 13, 2008
3.0 Regulatory Review
Surface Water Classification, Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination, Stream and Wetland
Evaluations, Endangered / Threatened Species, Cultural Resources, Floodplain, and Potentially
Hazardous Environmental Conditions are discussed relative to potential ecological restoration of
the Site in the following sections.
3.1 Surface Water Classification
The NCDWQ designates surface water classifications for water bodies such as streams, rivers,
and lakes, which define the best uses to be protected within these waters (e.g., swimming,
fishing, and drinking water supply). These classifications carry with them an associated set of
water quality standards to protect those uses. All surface waters in North Carolina must at least
meet the standards for Class C (fishable/swimmable) waters. The other primary classifications
provide additional levels of protection for primary water contact recreation (Class B) and
drinking water supplies (WS). Class C waters are protected for secondary recreation, fishing,
wildlife, fish, and aquatic life propagation and survival, agriculture and other suitable uses.
Surface water classifications and their associated protection rules may also be designed to
protect the free flowing nature of a stream or other special characteristics.
From their upstream sources to the reach confluences, both Tickle Creek and Travis Creek are
classified as "C" waters, indicating that the streams and tributaries are considered to support
aquatic life and secondary recreational uses. These waters also have a nutrient sensitive
waters (NSW) supplemental classification, meaning that such waters require additional nutrient
management and are subject to excessive growth of microscopic or macroscopic vegetation
(NCDENR, 2006).
3.2 Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination
A "Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination" was completed for potential jurisdictional waters at
the subject site based on recent USACE guidance. Jurisdictional waters were determined
based on field identification of Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) on traditional navigable
waters (TNW) and non-navigable tributaries of TNW that are relatively permanent waters
(RPW). According to recent NCDWQ guidance, intermittent and perennial streams in the
Piedmont are likely RPW and headwater wetlands in the Piedmont likely have a significant
nexus to TNW. Field verification of preliminary jurisdictional stream and wetland determinations
was completed on September 10, 2008 with representatives from USACE (Andrew Williams and
John Thomas). Figure 2 depicts the jurisdictional waters delineated within the site.
3.3 Stream and Wetland Evaluations
Baker staff assessed streams within the property to determine their status and suitability for
restoration. In accordance with USACE guidance, physical, stability, habitat, and biology
channel characteristics were scored to assist in determining potential for stream channel
preservation, restoration, or enhancement. The USACE "Stream Quality Assessment
Worksheet" was completed to document existing stream quality and aquatic importance.
NCDWQ methods were used to document the status of stream channels located within the
subject site. In accordance with NCDWQ guidance, the stream channel assessment was used
to identify and score geomorphic, hydrological, and biological features that distinguish between
ephemeral, intermittent, and perennial streams. NCDWQ's "Stream Identification Form" was
completed to document stream channel origins.
Guilford County Prison Farm
Conceptual Mitigation Plan Page 4 October 13, 2008
NCDWQ methods were also used to determine the status of freshwater wetland types located
within the subject site. In accordance with NCDWQ guidance, the wetland evaluation rated the
values of wetlands based on ability and opportunity to perform water storage, stabilization,
pollutant removal, wildlife habitat, aquatic life value, and recreation/education functions.
NCDWQ's "Wetland Rating Worksheet" was completed to document wetland values.
A field review of stream and wetland mitigation potential was completed on September 18, 2008
with Eric Kulz from NCDWQ. Table 1 summarizes stream determinations relevant to the
conceptual mitigation plan. Table 2 summarizes the wetland evaluations.

3.4 Endangered / Threatened Species
Baker conducted a search of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Database on September 5,
2008 and ascertained that a population of small-whorled pogonia (Isotria medeoloides), a
federally protected plant species, is located within two miles of the project study area. On
September 9, 2008, Dale Suiter of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) provided
information on the location and status of this population that indicated the proposed project
would have no direct impact on this species. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) and FWS were requested to provide input regarding the potential for
federally endangered and state listed species to be impacted by potential mitigation construction
(correspondence attached). Baker indicated that field reviews for small-whorled pogonia would
be conducted in forested areas to be conserved. Baker also noted that excluding cattle from
Guilford County Prison Farm
Conceptual Mitigation Plan Page 5 October 13, 2008
forested areas would create additional suitable habitat for the species. Written response from
FWS or NCWRC has not yet been received.
3.5 Cultural Resources
The North Carolina Historical Preservation Office (HPO) and the Office of State Archaeology
(OSA) were contacted regarding possible affects to potential historical artifacts that may be
impacted by potential mitigation construction. HPO responded in a letter of July 21, 2008, that
there were no known historic resources that would be affected by the project (correspondence
attached). No reply was received from OSA prior to the completion of this report.
3.6 Floodplain
Since the restoration plan proposes to change streambed elevations on sections of channels
currently mapped within the 100-year floodplain, additional hydraulic and hydrologic studies will
likely be required by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and will likely
include development of a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) and/or Letter of Map
Revision (LOMR).
3.7 Potentially Hazardous Environmental Conditions
A Transaction Screening Report was requested from Environmental Data Resources (EDR) on
September 9, 2008 in order to evaluate environmental risk levels of the property and its
surroundings. The report summarizes available records from Federal, State, and local sources
for hazardous materials, underground storage tanks, brownfields, etc. The environmental risk
level of the Prison Farm site was reported as "Elevated Risk". This is because it is a county-
owned facility, not for any listed hazardous materials sites or releases, as the included report
indicates. Therefore, based on a review of the EDR report, there appear to be no known
hazardous condition issues associated with the proposed project.
Guilford County Prison Farm
Conceptual Mitigation Plan Page 6 October 13, 2008
4.0 Mitigation Potential
Stream Mitigation Potential, Wetland Mitigation Potential, and Buffer Restoration and Water
Quality BMPs are summarized in the following text.
4.1 Stream Mitigation Potential
Stream mitigation potential is available on all on-site stream reaches. Stream restoration,
enhancement, and preservation techniques are proposed based on stream condition and
replacement of lost functions. Stream restoration will focus on reconnecting the streams with
their adjacent floodplains. This will be accomplished through raising channelized stream
segments to reconnect to the historic adjacent floodplains (Rosgen Priority I approach) or
through constructing bankfull benches at a lower elevation (Rosgen Priority II approach).
Proposed stream mitigation approaches are depicted in Figure 5, and are summarized in
Table 3.

4.2 Wetland Mitigation Potential
Wetland restoration potential exists in areas where hydric soils are adjacent to stream reaches
proposed for Priority I restoration. Streams in these areas can be reconnected to the historic
floodplain which would allow currently drained adjacent riparian areas to be restored to
functional wetlands. Wetland mitigation areas are depicted in Figure 5, and are summarized in
Table 4.

Estimates of wetland mitigation potential are based on a preliminary evaluation of on-site soils
and existing jurisdictional areas, and should therefore be considered preliminary. Formal soil
delineations outside of the existing jurisdictional areas will be completed during the design
phase of the project.
4.3 Buffer Restoration and Water Quality BMPs
A minimum 50-foot riparian buffer will be restored, enhanced, or preserved along stream and
wetland areas on the property and protected through a perpetual conservation easement. The
majority of restoration activities will occur along stream reaches that are currently devoid of
woody vegetation. Riparian areas lacking woody vegetation will be considered restoration
(Tickle Creek, UT1, Travis Creek, and UT2). Wetland restoration is proposed along Tickle and
Travis Creeks. Along these reaches a 50-foot buffer will be planted on the uplands outside the
wetland restoration area. Riparian buffer enhancement areas will be located in the wooded
riparian reaches that have been impacted by cattle access (Tickle Creek and UT2). Buffer
preservation will occur in wooded areas on the property that have not been severely impacted
by cattle (UT2F and UT3). It may be possible to apply buffer credits from this site in the future if
buffer rules were to be developed for the Cape Fear River Basin or Lake Jordan Watershed.
Proposed buffer areas are depicted in Figure 5.
Water Quality Best Management Practices (BMPs) could be constructed along ephemeral
channels and linear wetlands entering the conservation easement. These BMPs include level
spreaders and filter strips that serve to filter sediment and pollutants from adjacent agricultural
fields before entering the restored stream and wetland systems. The buffered areas in excess
of 50 lateral feet, in combination with the proposed water quality BMPs, may allow for better
ratios used to calculate mitigation credits for the site, or could be credited as direct nutrient off-
sets.

Conceptual Mitigation Plan Page 8 October 13, 2008
5.0 Future Work
The sections that follow describe the proposed work that will be conducted to develop and
implement the site restoration plan and Mitigation Banking Instrument.
5.1 Additional Existing Conditions Assessments
In addition to the previously completed studies, formal stream surveys, stream classifications,
bedload material collection and analyses (where appropriate), riparian vegetation summaries,
and existing condition hydrologic monitoring will take place to fully document the pre-restoration
condition of the Prison Farm site. Detailed topographic information for the site will also be
developed to form the basis for design plans.
5.2 Reference Assessment
A search for on-site or off-site reference reaches and reference wetlands will be conducted and
will be used to aid in the development of design approaches, design criteria, and success
criteria for the Prison Farm site. If an appropriate reference stream reach is not identified, a
combination of stable reference cross-sections, past project experience, published NC regional
curves, and reference reach database values will be used to develop an appropriate design
approach.
5.3 Stream Restoration Design
Stream system designs will be developed for each identified stream feature on the site.
Restoration will focus on the return of appropriate functions. It is likely that design approaches
will include restoration on stream reaches within the agricultural fields and enhancement along
some of the wooded stream segments. Some of the stream reaches are within the 100-year
flood zone, therefore additional hydraulic and hydrologic analyses will likely be required by
FEMA to determine potential changes in the mapped flood zone as a result of changes to the
stream bed elevations. This analysis will also consider the potential for off-site hydrologic
trespass issues. Coordination with the North Carolina Floodplain Mapping Program Manager, in
the form of a CLOMR prior to restoration, and LOMR after restoration construction is completed,
will likely be required to ensure regulatory approval. Data from the existing condition and
reference site surveys will be used to develop a vegetation plan for the riparian areas of the site.
The plan will include vegetation planting lists that vary by restoration community, anticipated
wetness conditions, and soils.
5.4 Wetland Restoration Design
Hydrologic modeling will be performed to assess the current hydrology of the site, and to
determine appropriate wetland restoration practices. Model simulations will be conducted at
representative locations across the restoration site. Groundwater monitoring data will be used
to calibrate the models to ensure the most accurate simulation results.
A detailed water budget for the site, pre- and post-restoration, will be prepared to meet
regulatory agency requirements. The water balance will summarize the average values of water
inputs and outputs to the system, including precipitation, evapotranspiration, drainage, seepage,
and surface runoff.
5.5 Permitting
Regulatory approval will be required for the proposed stream and wetland mitigation activities.
It is anticipated that development of a Mitigation Banking Instrument will be required. NCDWQ
Guilford County Prison Farm
Conceptual Mitigation Plan Page 9 October 13, 2008
Section 401 Water Quality Certification, USACE Section 404 permitting, and North Carolina
Division of Land Quality (NCDLQ) Sediment and Erosion Control Permitting will be addressed
near the completion of the site design process.
5.6 Final Design and Construction
Preliminary (40 percent) designs will be developed that include plan sheets and a draft
Mitigation Plan Report. The plan sheets will include a title sheet, detail sheets, a preliminary
stream alignment with structures, wetland restoration boundaries and types, and a vegetation
planting plan. These designs will be revised as needed and a 90 percent design will be
developed for final regulatory approval. Based on agreements with regulatory agencies, final
(100 percent) designs will be developed that include special provisions and project notes,
details for any proposed structures, typical cross-section details for each design reach, a final
construction sequence, stream channel and valley alignments with stationing, locations and
elevations for in-stream structures, a grading plan, design profiles, vegetation planting plan for
buffer and streambank areas, and erosion control practices.
Upon completion of construction, "as-built" plan sheets will be developed to document the as-
built condition and establish a baseline for future monitoring.
5.7 Post-Construction Monitoring
Periodic monitoring is necessary to ensure that the restored streams and wetlands are
functioning as designed and to document success criteria. These efforts will include installation
and data collection of rain gages and groundwater wells, stream flow monitoring, periodic
photographic documentation at stationed cross-sections, vegetation monitoring, and stream
profile evaluations. Efforts will last a minimum of five years, or until success criteria have been
successfully documented.
One automated and one manual rain gage will be installed on the site after restoration has been
completed. The gages will be installed in an open area, a minimum of 100 feet from any tall
tree or buildings. Data will be used in conjunction with data from nearby automated weather
stations to determine rainfall during the monitoring period. Groundwater monitoring wells
originally installed to document pre-restoration conditions will be re-installed across the project
site to document post-restoration water table and stream flow data. Data from these wells will
be downloaded monthly during the growing season and every sixty days during the dormant
season. Downloaded data will be evaluated in the field to determine if any maintenance to the
loggers is required. These data will determine if the water table at the Site has been managed
sufficiently to restore wetland conditions.
Photographs will be taken periodically throughout the monitoring year to visually document
hydrologic conditions, stability, vegetation growth, and the evolution of the restoration site.
Permanent photo point locations will be established and marked to facilitate photographs being
taken at the same locations each year monitoring is taking place.
Vegetation monitoring plots will be established over 2 percent of the restoration areas.
Individual plots will be approximately 43 feet by 203 feet in size (approximately 0.2 acre). Plots
will be located to represent a range of conditions across the restoration site. Immediately after
planting has occurred, planted stems within vegetation plots will be flagged and counted. Each
year after restoration and prior to leaf fall in autumn, vegetation plots will be sampled. All living
stems of woody vegetation within each plot will be identified and counted, including planted
stems and colonized species. General observations will be made during sampling to describe
the survivability of stems outside the vegetation monitoring plots, and other vegetation planted
Guilford County Prison Farm

across the site (live stakes, transplants, permanent seeding, etc.). This will ensure that an
adequate riparian buffer is installed at the site.
The performance of the site will be summarized in yearly monitoring reports. Reports will
include the data collected during the monitoring year, comparison to data from past years and
reference locations, and assessments of whether the site is on trajectory for meeting defined
success criteria.

Subject: Guilford County Prison Farm Wetland and Stream Restoration Project in
Guilford and Alamance Counties
Dear Mr. Suiter,
This letter is a follow up to our conversation on September 9, 2008 with regards to the
subject site. The Guilford County Prison Farm Site is part of an approximately 720-acre
property is located north and south of Howerton Road at the Guilford/Alamance County
line (Map 1) about one mile north of Gibsonville. This property, which is located within
the Tickle Creek and Travis Creek watersheds in the Cape Fear River Basin (HUC
03030002), is being considered for potential stream and wetland mitigation for future
impacts at the Piedmont Triad International Airport. The proposed project (as shown in
Map 2) will be coordinated through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the
North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) (through Section 401 and 404 of the federal Clean Water Act).
As we discussed with you, Baker has already obtained an updated species list for
Alamance and Guilford Counties from the USFWS website (htt nc-
es.fws.gov/es/countyfr.html). In addition, Baker conducted a search of the North
Carolina Natural Heritage Database on September 5, 2008 and found that there was a
population of Small whorled pogonia (I.sotria medeoloides), a federally protected plant
species, within two miles of the project study area.
We understand that the mesic forest areas of our project study area are potential habitat
for Small whorled pogonia. However, it should be noted that the activities in forested
areas of the site will be limited to developing preservation and enhancement credits.
Activities in the mesic forests will largely be confined to cattle exclusion efforts and in-
stream structure construction which will minimize impacts to those areas. The cattle
exclusion could increase the suitability of the forest habitat for Small whorled pogonia
colonization.
Baker will conduct surveys of suitable habitat during the May/June blooming period for
the species to determine if Small whorled pogonia is found within the project area. The
results of these surveys will be shared with USFWS and NCWRC and we will be in
contact with you throughout the process to ensure that any concerns on your part are
addressed.
We are requesting that you please provide any additional information you have on
protected species, migratory birds or other trust resources that could be impacted by
construction of a stream restoration and wetland project on the subject property.
Cha/1enmeUs.
If we have not heard from you in 30 days we will assume that you do not have any
comments regarding associated laws, and that you do not have any information relevant
to this project at the current time.
We thank you in advance for your timely response and cooperation. Please feel free to
contact us with any questions that you may have concerning the extent of site disturbance
associated with this project.
Sincerely,
& -ow

Subject: Potential Stream and Wetland Restoration Project in Guilford County
Dear Ms. Hall,
We are currently reviewing potential to restore portions of Tickle and Travis Creeks and
associated wetlands in the Cape Fear River Basin at the Guilford County Prison Farm north
of Gibsonville (Figure 1). The proposed project will be coordinated with the US Army Corps
of Engineers and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
Division of Water Quality (through Section 401 and 404 of the federal Clean Water Act).
We are requesting that the Office of State Archaeology review the proposed project
location for any district, site, building, structure, or object that is listed in the National
Register of Historic Places established pursuant to Public Law 89-665,16 U.S.C. 470.
We are enclosing a map of the project site that includes proposed limits of disturbance.
Potential stream restoration work is confined to the floodplains, tributaries, and
associated wetlands of Tickle and Travis Creeks within the Guilford County Prison Farm
property (Figure 2). No architectural structures or archeological artifacts have been
observed or noted during preliminary surveys of the site by Baker biologists.
We ask that you review this site based on the attached information to determine the presence
of any properties or sites listed or in the process of being listed in the National Register of
Historic Places. Thank you in advance for your timely response and cooperation. Please feel
free to contact us with any questions that you may have concerning the extent of site
disturbance associated with this project.
