Dear Ms. Karoly:
Please find attached two copies of the Addendum to the Annual Monitoring Report for
Year 4 (2008) for the Causey Farm Stream and Wetland Mitigation Site. The main report
describes monitoring activities, success criteria, and results of 4.0 acres of wetland and 7,670 feet
of stream restoration at the Site during the second year after completion. This compensatory
mitigation is for the Piedmont Triad International Airport. The Addendum addresses an
additional 6.3 acres of wetlands not earmarked for use by the airport. As described in this report,
all wetland areas were determined to be successful.
Please feel free to contact me at 919-755-9490 if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
David H. Schiller, Manager

GUILFORD COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
INTRODUCTION
Restoration Systems, LLC has completed restoration of streams and wetlands at the Causey Farm Stream
and Wetland Mitigation Site (hereafter referred to as the "Site") to offset impacts associated with runway
expansion of the Piedmont Triad International Airport (PTIA) for establishment of a facility for the FedEx
Corporation. The Site is located in United States Geological Survey (USGS) Cataloging Unit 03030002 of
the Cape Fear River Basin in southeastern Guilford County approximately 5 miles north of the Town of
Liberty and approximately 11 miles northwest of the City of Greensboro (Figure 1). An approximately 42-
acre conservation easement area encompasses 7670 linear feet of restored stream channel, an 830-linear
foot onsite reference reach, and 10.3 acres of wetland restoration. Of the total amount of mitigation
constructed at the Site, 4.0 acres of wetland restoration and all 7670 feet of stream restoration have been
used to offset unavoidable impacts at the PTIA. The remaining 6.3 acres of wetland restoration are
unallocated and may be used in the future by the airport or other entities. Data and results presented in this
addendum describe the results of monitoring the unallocated wetland restoration areas. General Site
information, success criteria, results for riverine wetland and stream areas restored to offset impacts at the
FedEx facility may be found in the Year 4 (2008) Annual Monitoring Report.
Table 1. Site as Constructed
T e Amount
Riverine Wetland Restoration (for FedEx Facility) 4.0 acres
Stream Restoration 7670 linear feet
Forested Wetland/Upland Buffer 42 acres
Unallocated Riverine Wetland Restoration 6.3 acres
HYDROLOGY
All unallocated wetland restoration areas achieved hydrology success criteria for the Year 4 (2008) annual
monitoring period (Table 2). Groundwater gauge locations are depicted in Figures 2A and 2B.
Hydrographs for each monitoring location are provided in Appendix A of this Addendum along with daily
rainfall totals for 2008 at an onsite rain gauge.
Seven gauges exhibited groundwater within one foot of the soil surface (wetland hydroperiods) for greater
than 12.5 percent of the growing season or 28 consecutive days and therefore satisfied hydrology criteria.
One additional gauge (Gauge 9) satisfied hydrology success criteria by exhibiting groundwater within one
foot of the soil surface for greater than 5 percent of the growing season with a presence of hydrophytic
vegetation in the vicinity of the gauge. All groundwater gauges are underlain by hydric soils and exhibit
development of vegetative communities indicative of a jurisdictional wetland. Vegetation lists for each
gauge are provided in Appendix B of this Addendum.

*Based on criteria set for in the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory (1987). See vegetation lists (Appendix B).
** Groundwater hydrology and soils are indicative ofjunsdictional wetlands, the herbaceous assemblage was different this year compared with previous years and is
expected to change in future years to more wet species.
VEGETATION
Quantitative sampling of vegetation occurred in August 2006. Vegetation plot locations are depicted in
Figures 2A and 2B. Results are provided in Table 3 and photographs of each plot are provided in
Appendix C. Vegetation success criteria for Year 4 (290 tree stems per acre) were exceeded for the 2008
annual monitoring year with an average of 842 tree stems per acre across the Site. Based on survey data,
planted seedlings exhibited approximately 90 percent survival after the fourth growing season. In addition,
each individual vegetation plot met success criteria.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Year 4 (2008) Addendum - Annual Stream and Wetland Monitoring Report data indicated that the
Causey Farm Restoration Site achieved regulatory success criteria for the unallocated 6.3 acres of wetland
restoration, including wetland hydrology and vegetation after the fourth year of development. The majority
of the Site supported hydroperiods and vegetation succession patterns conducive to establishment of
wetland forest habitat.
Seven gauges exhibited groundwater within one foot of the soil surface (wetland hydroperiods) for greater
than 12.5 percent of the growing season or 28 consecutive days and therefore satisfied hydrology criteria.
One additional gauge (Gauge 9) satisfied hydrology success criteria by exhibiting groundwater within one
foot of the soil surface for greater than 5 percent of the growing season with a presence of hydrophytic
vegetation in the vicinity of the gauge. All groundwater gauges are underlain by hydric soils and exhibit
development of vegetative communities indicative of a jurisdictional wetland.

success criteria requires that each naturally recruited species make up no more than 10 percent of the 290 stem/acre total. Using this criteria, no
naturally recruited species can provide more than 29 stems/acre towards success criteria (or 2.9 stems/0.I acre plot).
** Planted species are in bold font.
Based on survey data, the Site was characterized by 842 Character Tree Species stems per acre across the
Site (approximately 90 percent survival) after the fourth growing season. Mast producing elements such as
oak and hickory are expected to become established in sufficient quantity to develop into a characteristic
floodplain bottomland hardwood assemblage. The variable hydrologic regime found across the Site will
promote diverse wetland community patterns and will consequently enhance opportunities for wetland
dependent wildlife.

Section 1. PHOTO REFERENCE SITES
(Monitoring at all levels must complete this section)
Attach site map showing the location and angle of all reference photos with a site designation (name, number,
letter, etc.) assigned to each reference photo location. Photos should be provided for all structures and cross
section locations, should show both banks and include an upstream and downstream view. Photos taken to
document physical stability should be taken in winter. Photos taken to document vegetation should be taken in
summer (at representative locations). Attach photos and a description of each reference photo or location. We
recommend the use of a photo identification board in each photo to identify location.

COMMENTS: See Section 2.2 (Vegetation) of the Annual Monitoring Report for Year 4 (2008) Data for each
plot can be found in Table 3 and photographs for each plot can be found in Appendix C of the addendum
document.
If required to complete Level 1 and Level 2 monitoring only stop here; otherwise, complete section 3.
Section 3. CHANNEL STABILITY
Attach plan sheet(s) indicating the locations of cross-sections and beginning and ending of longitudinal profiles
if the entire reach is not profiled. Year to year changes in cross-sections, longitudinal profile and bed material
should be plotted and submitted. Comparison overlays from previous years for profile and cross-section
monitoring should be provided.
Cross-sections: attach plots of each cross-section showing year to year changes. Provide the following data
for each cross-section: See Annual Monitoring Report for Cross-Section location and depiction

NOTE: Attach separate narrative sheets to each monitoring report describing/discussing the overall monitoring
results. Include the identification of specific problem areas/channel failures, estimated cause and
proposed/required remedial action. This should include a brief discussion of any parameter that has changed
significantly from as-built. (See success criteria discussion in Section 11.)
In performing monitoring Level 1, determine if the DWQ Certification conditions require biological
monitoring. Should conditions require monitoring of biological communities, complete section 4;
otherwise, stop here.
Section 4. BIOLOGICAL INDICATORS ma be required for monitoring level 1, see
permit requirements)
Attach a map and narrative showing locations where biological samples were collected, list of taxa collected,
explaining conditions during sampling, the types of samples taken, an explanation of the data collected and all
other information pertinent to understanding this data set. If the sample is a follow-up to earlier samples discuss
any differences found or statistical comparisons.
