EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Wilson Bay (Surgeon City) Wetland Restoration Phase II Site (Site) is located within the United
States Geological Survey (USGS) Hydrologic Unit 03030001 (North Carolina Division of Water Quality
[NCDWQ] subbasin 03-05-02) of the White Oak River Basin. The Site includes 2.5 acres of brackish
marsh restoration, located at Sturgeon City in Jacksonville, North Carolina in Onslow County. The Site is
located adjacent to Thompson School Creek and Sturgeon City Park at an inactive municipal wastewater
treatment plant. This report summarizes data for year 5 (2008) monitoring.
The primary goals of the project include the following.
1. Reduce nutrient and stormwater inputs to adjacent estaurine waters.
2. Stabilize the shoreline through restoration of native vegetation.
3. Improve the aesthetics to that of a natural estuarine marsh.
4. Enhance wildlife habitat.
5. Educate visitors about the importance of coastal wetlands.
Five vegetation plots were surveyed for herbaceous coverage in late June 2008 for the 2008 (year 5)
monitoring season. Vegetative growth has been excellent in the brackish marsh, with many native
volunteer salt marsh species; in addition an organic mat typical of a coastal salt marsh is continuing to
develop.
No problem areas have been identified during the year 5 (2008) monitoring year. Site hydrology supports
a coastal marsh as evidenced by sufficient flooding to support the growth of brackish marsh vegetation,
the establishment of native volunteer salt marsh species, and the continued development of a native
coastal marsh vegetative community structure. In summary, the Site is stable, the desired plant
communities are developing, the plants are healthy, and the marsh has an aesthetic appeal.

1.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND
1.1 Location and Setting
The Wilson Bay (Surgeon City) Wetland Restoration Phase II Site (Site) is located within the United
States Geological Survey (USGS) Hydrologic Unit 03030001 (North Carolina Division of Water Quality
[NCDWQ] subbasin 03-05-02) of the White Oak River Basin. The Site includes 2.5 acres of brackish
marsh restoration, located at Sturgeon City in Jacksonville, North Carolina in Onslow County (Figure 1).
The Site is located adjacent to Thompson School Creek and Sturgeon City Park at an inactive municipal
wastewater treatment plant.
Directions to the Site:
From Raleigh:
? Travel east on Interstate 40 to Exit 373 (NC24/903 east)
? Follow NC 24 to Jacksonville
? In Jacksonville, veer right onto Old Bridge Street to cross over the New River
? Turn right on Court Street
? At the end of Court Street take a left into the inactive wastewater treatment plant
? The Site is adjacent to Wilson Bay at the far end of the property
The Site is located in the Middle Atlantic Coastal Plain Physiographic Province, within the Carolina
Flatwoods ecoregion.
1.2 Mitigation Structure and Objectives
Prior to implementation of wetland restoration activities, the Site was used as a municipal wasterwater
treatment plant.
Restoration at the Site entailed 1) removal of trash laden fill material, 2) grading the Site to the desired
elevations to restore wetland hydrology, and 3) planting the Site. The primary goals of this project were
to reduce nutrient and stormwater inputs to adjacent estaurine waters, stabilize the shoreline through
restoration of native vegetation, improve the aesthetics to that of a natural estuarine marsh, enhance
wildlife habitat, and educate visitors about the importance of coastal wetlands. Project structures and
objectives are summarized in Table 1.

2.0 PROJECT CONDITION AND MONITORING RESULTS
2.1 Vegetation Assessment
During late June 2008, five 1-meter square plots were sampled for herbaceous cover. Two plots were
located in the Spartina cynosuroides area of the marsh, and three were located in the Spartina patens area.
Plant height, numbers, and percent cover were measured and recorded in each plot. Plots were located as
close as possible to the corresponding plot designation from the previous monitoring reports. In addition,
the methodology from previous monitoring reports was followed and stems were not counted in the
Spartina patens plots. The general condition of the marsh was assessed, and potential problem areas were
also examined.
2.1.1 Soil Data
General soil conditions found onsite, including level of erosion and percentage of organic matter, are
summarized in Table 5.

2.1.2 Vegetative Problem Areas
No vegetation problem areas were identified within the Site during year 5 (2008) annual monitoring.
2.1.3 Stem Counts
Marsh vegetation was assessed by sampling five 1-meter by 1-meter plots using the CVS-EEP Protocol
for Recording Vegetation, Version 4.0 (Lee et al. 2006) (http://cvs.bio,unc.edu/methods.htm); two plots
are located in the .Spartina cynosuroides area of the marsh and three in the Spartina patens area. Percent
cover from year 4 (2007) are summarized in Table 6 and vegetation trends for the five monitoring years
are summarized in Table 7. The taxonomic standard for vegetation used for this document was Flora of
the Carolinas, Virginia, Georgia, and Surrounding Areas (Weakley 2007). No reference area was
studied; therefore, no comparisons could be made to reference conditions.

Site vegetation success will be determined based on year-to-year comparisons of the stem counts, plant
heights, and will require 75 percent coverage of marsh species at the end of the five-year monitoring
period.
The average percent coverage within the lower marsh (Spartlna cynosuroides) was between 80 and 100
percent coverage with Spartina cynosuroides and within the upper marsh (Spartina patens) was between
55 and 80 percent coverage with Spartina patens for year 5 (2008) monitoring. The average percent
coverage across the Site is increasing and should be considered successful.

2.1.4 Vegetation Plot Photos
Photographs taken in the vegetation monitoring area are included in Appendix A; locations of each are
depicted on Figure 2. The photographs show that the marsh grasses are growing well and the Site is
functioning as a brackish marsh wetland system.
2.2 Wetland Assessment
Four surfacewater monitoring gauges have been maintained and monitored throughout the year 5 (2008)
growing season. The gauges are located within the Spartina cynosuroides area between the 1 and 1.5-foot
contours and record daily readings of the groundwater levels. Daily rainfall data recorded from a rain
gauge maintained and monitored at the nearby New River Station in Jacksonville, North Carolina was
used for seasonal comparison (Weather Underground 2008). The graphs of groundwater hydrology and
precipitation are included in Appendix B.
No specific success criteria were established for this project; however, hydrologic success is based on
sufficient Site flooding to support the marsh vegetation. General success criteria for wetland groundwater
hydrology require inundation or saturation within 12 inches of the ground surface for a consecutive period
of 12.5 percent of the growing season. The growing season in Onslow County begins April 8 and ends
November 5 (212 days).
Surfacewater gauges provided unreliable data during year 2 (2005) monitoring and no gauge data is
available for years 1 and 2 (2004 and 2005) monitoring. The gauge graphs for years 3 through 5 (2006-
2008) are included in Appendices B-D. The following table summarizes success criteria achievement for
surfacewater gauges over the monitoring period.
Groundwater hydrology within 12 inches of the soil surface occurred for greater than 12.5 percent of the
growing season for the year 5 (2008) growing season. Site hydrology supports a coastal marsh as
evidenced by sufficient flooding to support the growth of brackish marsh vegetation, the establishment of
native volunteer salt marsh species, and the continued development of a native coastal marsh vegetative
community structure. In summary, the Site is stable, the desired plant communities are developing, the
plants are healthy, and the marsh has an aesthetic appeal.

2.2.2 Wetland Criteria Attainment
All monitored gauges within restoration areas were inundated/saturated within 12 inches of the surface for
greater than 12.5 percent of the growing season with sufficient flooding to support brackish marsh
