2 INTRODUCTION
2.1 Project Description
The Chappels Creek Mitigation Project (Project) is a full delivery project contracted by the NC Division of
Mitigation Services (DMS) to deliver riparian buffer mitigation credits in the Neuse River Basin, 03020201.
The Project is located in Person County, approximately four miles southeast of Somerset, NC (Figure 1).
The Project consists of four parcels with 48.13 acres of conservation easement. The Project has a total
drainage area of 2,591 acres made up of mainly managed agricultural land with sparse forested areas and
residential development surrounding the Project boundaries. The land use within the Project area is
currently comprised mostly of row crop production and sparsely scattered forest.
Water quality stressors currently affecting the Project include heavily manipulated/relocated and
maintained streams, active row crop production, a lack of riparian buffers, and the presence of invasive
species. After field evaluations, RES has determined all stream features to be either ephemeral, intermittent,
or perennial (Figure 3). Additionally, there are two in-line ponds within the Project, viable for buffer credit.
Buffer restoration, enhancement, and preservation are proposed to increase water quality and ecological
function and protect these stream features and ponds in perpetuity. Additionally, by mitigating the riparian
buffers of this headwater stream and its tributaries, a contiguous riparian corridor will be re-established and
the Project will have an even greater impact on the improved water quality, hydrology, and habitat of this
stream catchment area.
The Project will involve buffer restoration, of a network of tributaries/ponds that drain to Chappels Creek
(JM1, JM2-A, In-Line Pond A, In-Line Pond B, JM2-B, EN1, and EN2) and Chappels Creek itself. Entering
the Project from the east as a forested, palustrine stream/wetland complex, Chappels Creek flows north to
south, before coming to its confluence with the North Flat River (south of the Project). JM1, a perennial,
unnamed headwater tributary of Chappels Creek originates just north of the Project and flows south through
a beaver pond (in-line Pond A) towards Antioch Church Road. Three tributaries (JM2-A, JM2-B, and EN1)
Chappels Creek Mitigation Project
Neuse 01 DMS Full Delivery Buffer Site 2 January 2021
feed into JM1 before it comes to a confluence with Chappels Creek. JM2-A is an ephemeral tributary
beginning just below in-line pond B where it is fed via a six-inch metal buried pipe, flowing south before
transitioning to an intermittent stream JM2-B, which continues south before meeting JM1. EN1 is a small,
intermittent tributary of JM1 originating outside of the Project boundaries, in the middle portion of the
project flowing west to east before coming to a confluence with JM1. EN2, a small, intermittent tributary
originates just above where Chappels Creek enters the Project on the eastern side of the project and flows
north to south. The final tributary feeding into Chappels Creek within the Project boundaries is TH1, a
small intermittent stream originating from an offsite beaver pond to the east. Existing conditions and stream
features within the Project can be found in Figure 3.
2.2 Project Location
The Project is located in the township of Timberlake in Person County, NC (Figure 1). To access the Project
from the town of Somerset, travel south on US 501 for about two miles before turning left onto Antioch
Church Road. After traveling east for about a mile and a half the northern portion of the Project can be
accessed to the right or left. To access the middle of the Project, continue traveling down Antioch Church
Road before turning right on Kermit Duncan Road and then after a half mile the destination will be on the
right. The latitude and longitude of the Project is 36.322°N and -78.945°W.
2.3 Service Area
This Bank will provide mitigation credits to offset unavoidable impacts to buffer resources within the Neuse
River Basin (8-digit USGS HUC 03020201, 14-digit HUC 03020201010010) (Figure 1).
The Project’s watershed is rural, and consists of residential lots, agricultural land, and forest. The Project
area, specifically, has been mostly used for row crops and is sparsely forested in areas. Historically row
crops have been present since at least 1950 and land near the upper middle portion of the Project was once
utilized for livestock production, however, now left as a fallow field (Figure 5).
3 EXISTING CONDITIONS
3.1 Existing Buffer Conditions
Currently, portions of almost each feature (Chappels Creek, JM1, JM2-A, In-Line Pond A, In-Line Pond
B, JM2-B, EN1, and EN2) lack a fully developed riparian buffer. In areas where the is no riparian buffer,
fallow fields and row crop production extend to the edge of those features. In areas where there is some
unhealthy riparian buffer, invasive species and sparse tree cover surround those features. TH1, however,
has a fully forested riparian buffer of mature hardwoods and therefore will be protected throughout the life
of the Project (Figure 3).
3.2 Vegetation and Wildlife
The vegetative cover of the Project is primarily comprised of active row crop mixed with sparse piedmont
alluvial forest. In the wooded areas, tree species consist of river birch (Betula nigra), shagbark
hickory/other hickory species (Carya ovata/sp.), sweet gum (Liquidambar styraciflua), red maple (Acer
rubrum), eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana), American beech
(Fagus grandifolia), black walnut (Juglans nigra), white oak (Quercus alba), willow oak (Quercus
phellos), winged elm (Ulmus alata), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), persimmon (Diospyros

Neuse 01 DMS Full Delivery Buffer Site 3 January 2021
virginiana), box elder (Acer negundo), green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), and American sycamore
(Platanus occidentalis). Two exotic invasive species were observed within the project, Chinese privet
(Ligustrum sinense) and tree-of-heaven (Ailanthus altissima).
3.3 Constraints
There are no significant constraints to the Project. The Project is not within a FEMA Zone AE or FEMA
Regulatory Floodway. An overhead powerline runs through the northern portion of the Project, creating an
easement break through at JM1 and Pond A. A second overhead powerline adjacent to the bottom of the
northern portion of the Project runs along Antioch Church Road, outside of the easement boundaries;
therefore, an easement break is not needed (Figure 3). The Project is located within five miles of one air
transport facility, Raleigh Regional Airport at Person County, but will not affect the operation of this airport
(Figure 1). An easement break near the confluence of JM1 and JM2-B has been included for landowner
access, as well as access to the western side of the Project boundary.
3.4 Project Development
Buffer mitigation efforts along the Project features and further, throughout the Neuse River Basin, will be
accomplished through the planting, establishment, and protection of a hardwood forest community. The
result will be a riparian habitat that functions to mitigate nutrient and sediment inputs from the surrounding
land and restore and protect the natural vegetative communities that provide diverse habitat for wildlife in
perpetuity.
