1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Charles Creek Park Wetland Restoration Site (Site) is located within the United States Geological
Survey Hydrologic Unit 03010205 (North Carolina Division of Water Quality subbasm 03- 01 -50) of the
Pasquotank River Basin The Site includes 1 996 acres along the southeast bank of Charles Creek near its
confluence with the Pasquotank River, located within Charles Creek Park in downtown Elizabeth City,
North Carolina in Pasquotank County The Site is comprised of restored and enhanced wetlands, and
open water areas The Site is currently owned by the City of Elizabeth City with the conservation
easement owned by the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program This report (compiled based
on North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program [EEP's] Procedural Guidance and Content
Requirements for EEP Monitoring Reports Version 1 3 dated 1115110) summarizes data for year 4 (2010)
monitoring
The primary goals and objectives of the project included the following
1 Restore and enhance wetland function, vegetative structure, and wildlife habitat to the Site
2 Improve the aesthetics of the Site similar to that of surrounding natural cypress -gum
swamplands
3 Retain natural onsite assets such as large existing bald cypress trees
4 Incorporate the Site into Elizabeth City in such a manner to foster public interests in wetland
restoration
Vegetation success criteria dictate that an average density of 320 stems per acre must be surviving in the
first three monitoring years Subsequently, 290 stems per acre must be surviving in year 4 and 260 stems
per acre in year 5 Stem counts will be based on an average of the evaluated vegetation plots Based on
the number of stems counted, average densities were measured at 668 stems per acre surviving in year 4
(2010) The dominant species identified at the Site were planted stems of bald cypress (Taxodium
distichum), swamp blackgum (Nyssa aquatica), and buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis) In addition,
each individual vegetation plot met success criteria Common reed (Phragmites austrahs), an invasive
species, is located in the Site extending from vegetation plot 4 north to the onsite tributary with an
additional sparse patch located at the corner of Tuscarora Avenue and Hunter Streets, these area should be
monitored in subsequent years Growth of planted stems in the vicinity of vegetation plot 1 and the rain
gauge is slow most likely as the result of soil infertility from earth moving during construction, vigor of
these stems is generally fair to good In addition, herbaceous vegetation and vines are abundant in the
vicinity of vegetation plot 2, however, growth and vigor of stems is good to excellent and this is not
anticipated to be a problem These areas should be watched within subsequent monitoring years
Success criteria for wetland groundwater hydrology at the Site require inundation or saturation within 12
inches of the ground surface for a consecutive period of 8 5 percent of the growing season or
approximately 18 consecutive days (the growing season in Pasquotank County begins April 7 and ends
November 1 [209 days]) This duration has been selected as the mean desired percentage, however, an
individual gauge will be deemed successful if it falls within the range of 5 to 12 percent of the growing
season or approximately 10 to 26 days Groundwater hydrology occurred within 12 inches of the soil
surface for greater than 8 5 percent of the growing season at all groundwater gauges for the year 4 (2010)
growing season
In summary, the Site is stable, and vegetation and groundwater hydrology were successful for the year 4
(2010) growing season Summary information and data related to the occurrence of items such as beaver
or encroachment and statistics related to performance of various project and monitoring elements can be

2.0 METHODOLOGY
2.1 Vegetation Assessment
Four vegetation plots were established and marked after construction with a groundwater gauge at one
corner and PVC at the remaining corners as depicted on Figure 2 (Current Conditions Plan View) in
Appendix B. The plots are 10 meters square and are located randomly within the Site. These plots were
surveyed in June for the 2010 (year 4) monitoring season using the CVS -EEP Protocol for Recording
Vegetation, Version 4.0 (Lee et al. 2006) ( http:/ /cvs.bio.unc.edu/niethods.htm); results are included in
Appendix C. The taxonomic standard for vegetation used for this document was Flora of the Carolinas,
Virginia, Georgia, and Surrounding Areas (Weakley 2007).
2.2 Wetland Assessment
Four groundwater monitoring gauges and one rain gauge have been maintained and monitored throughout
the growing season. Graphs of groundwater hydrology and precipitation are included in Appendix D in
addition to a figure depicting annual rainfall versus 30 -year historic rainfall totals (Figure 3, Appendix D).
