EXECUTIVE SUMMARY/ PROJECT ABSTRACT Ecological Engineering, LLP (Ecological Engineering) entered into contract with the NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) in October 2009 to conduct annual monitoring assessments at the Brock Site in Jones County, North Carolina. The following document depicts our findings and recommendations with regard to the Year 5 (2013) monitoring assessment. The Brock Stream Restoration Project was implemented using methodologies consistent with Coastal Plain headwater stream and buffer restoration. The stream, an unnamed tributary (UT) to Chinquapin Branch, was restored using a modified Priority 3 level of restoration. Specifically, the project involved the excavation of a floodplain along the entire 1,850 linear -foot stream reach. Excavation was limited to the right side of the channel facing downstream due to a cemetery and other constraints occurring along the left stream bank. Vegetation Monitoring Monitoring Year (MY) 5 vegetation monitoring assessments were performed using Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) Level II Assessment Protocols. Four permanent plot locations were established and located during the as -built surveys. Each plot covers 100 square meters and is shaped in the form of a 10 -meter by 10 -meter square. The number of plots was determined by CVS software and individual locations were randomly selected based on the planned community types. All planted areas at the Brock Site are associated with either the generation of Stream Mitigation Unit (SMU), Buffer Mitigation Unit (BMU) or Nutrient Offset Nitrogen Reduction Buffer Restoration. Based on the MY 5 findings, all three vegetation plots met the vegetation success criteria for stream mitigation credit and three of four vegetation plots met the success criteria for BMU or Nutrient Offset Buffer Restoration mitigation credit. Planted stem count averages for SMU and BMU calculations across the Site were 768 and 637 stems /acre, respectively. These averages exceeded the required mitigation thresholds. Stream Restoration Monitoring Stream monitoring assessments were conducted using surveys and comparisons of three existing cross sections along the unnamed tributary. No problems were noted. Bankfull dimensions differed only minimally from last year's results; however, no erosion, entrenchment or incision was observed. Based on the data collected and visual observations, the Brock Site is functioning similar to that of a Coastal Plain headwater stream system. A bankfull event has been measured each of the past five years of monitoring, thus exceeding the minimum success criteria established for hydrology. SECTION II. PROJECT BACKGROUND A. Project Objectives According to EEP (2010), the project specific goals at the Brock Site needed to achieve desired ecological function include: • Improvement of water quality by limiting bank erosion; • Enhance 1,850 linear feet of stable stream channel (Stream Enhancement category II); • Restoration of 6.2 acres of riparian buffer along the project reach (4.23 acres associated with the 50 -foot buffer and 1.97 acres associated with the buffer beyond 50 feet); • Improvement of aquatic and terrestrial habitat within the UT to Big Chinquapin Branch; and, • The 40 -foot wide floodplain bench will dissipate the flow and maintain channel stability during moderate to high discharge events. The Project Site is located in Jones County and surrounded by areas of intense agricultural land use (Figure 1). As part of project implementation, the riparian buffer was reforested along the restored floodplain. This buffer restoration reconnects existing forested buffers along Big Chinquapin Branch and provides a wooded, although very narrow, corridor for wildlife. The buffer also intercepts overland flow from agricultural fields on the Brock property (EEP, 2006). In addition, EEP (2006) states that buffer reforestation at this site will reduce the input of nutrients from the fields to the waters downstream of the unnamed tributary to Big Chinquapin Branch, designated as nutrient sensitive waters by the NC Division of Water Resources (NCDWR). A project asset map is depicted in Figure 2. B. Project Structure, Restoration Type and Approach The watershed encompassing the Project Site is located in the eastern portion of the Coastal Plain Physiographic Province. Slopes are generally less than four percent. Elevations on the Brock Site range from approximately 39 to 52 feet above mean sea level. The soil survey for Jones County (Barnhill, 1981) indicates that the area is underlain by Goldsboro loamy sand, Grifton fine sandy loam, Lynchburg fine sandy loam, Muckalee loam, and Norfolk loamy sand (EEP, 2006). The watershed is a mixture of forested lands, agricultural row crops, two -lane roadways, farm roads, cemeteries, minor culverts, and a few single - family homes. Agricultural drainage features, including ditches and drain tiles, have been constructed and maintained on the Brock and neighboring properties. The Brock Site and adjacent properties are utilized primarily for agricultural purposes (EEP, 2006). According to EEP (2010), the project reach was designed using a Priority III approach which qualifies for Stream Enhancement Level II mitigation credit. Prior to restoration, the UT to Big Chinquapin Branch was incised and could not easily access its floodplain. Pre - restoration existing shear stress and stream power were compared with the design in order to evaluate aggradation and degradation. The state of the channel before restoration was shown to be capable of handling the system's flow and sediment supply. Buffer reforestation was conducted along the restoration reaches extending beyond 50 feet on either side of the channel to the limits of the conservation easement. The planting plan was based on the hydrology of the site, the surrounding vegetative communities, and available supply of native species. The plan is modeled after mature, unaltered systems as outlined in the Natural Communities of North Carolina (Schafale and Weakley, 1990). The newly excavated floodplain was planted with a Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwood Forest community. Remaining areas outside the floodplain, excluding a small cemetery along the left bank, were planted as a Mesic Mixed Hardwood Forest Coastal Plain Subtype (EEP, 2010). The US Army Corps of Engineers and NC Division of Water Quality (USACE, 2005) released a draft mitigation guidance document related to stream restoration in the outer Coastal Plain of North Carolina in 2005. This guidance, developed in cooperation with NCDWQ, addresses mitigation credits for headwater streams. Many natural headwater streams and wetlands in the Coastal Plain were historically channelized for agricultural purposes. A number of these channels, including the UT associated with the Brock Site, are eroding and lack functionality and habitat. While many of these areas would benefit from restoration, traditional natural channel design with pattern and profile has been determined to be inappropriate for all coastal headwater streams. The driving factor behind this guidance is that it is difficult to discern the original condition of these first order channels: whether they were historically intermittent streams or headwater wetlands. Emphasis is now being placed on restoring habitat and floodplain functionality to these types of channels. The Brock Site is one of the pioneer EEP projects utilizing these updated guidelines. As a result, traditional yearly monitoring activities have been revised to better address this type of restoration. The health of a watershed is dependent on the quality of the headwater system(s), individual tributaries, and major channels. High quality tributaries with vegetated buffers filter contaminants, maintain moderate water temperatures, provide high quality aquatic and terrestrial habitat and regulate flows downstream. Big Chinquapin Branch is a major tributary to the Trent River, and both water bodies are nutrient sensitive (NCDWQ, 1998). In addition, Big Chinquapin Branch is managed by a Drainage District. Agricultural land use practices have narrowed or removed many natural, vegetated buffers along streams within the Trent River watershed as well as draining and converting non - riverine wet hardwood forests to cropland (EEP, 2006). According to EEP (2006), this restoration will enhance functional elements of the unnamed tributary. The Brock Restoration Plan outlines the restoration of the UT to Chinquapin Branch and the reforestation of the associated riparian buffer. This involves the creation of a stable channel, riverine floodplain, and associated riparian buffer. Priority 3 stream restoration was implemented on the unnamed tributary. This involved reconnecting the stream channel to its floodplain, allowing for periodic overbank flooding. To reduce construction costs and avoid disturbing the cemetery, a bankfull bench was excavated along east side of the existing channel. Water quality functions will be improved due to the creation of more storage for floodwaters and increased filtering of pollutants. Wetlands are expected to form within portions of the newly created bankfull bench, especially in the downstream section of the project where backwater from Chinquapin Branch will affect the stream. Barring water quality issues outside of the Brock Site, the restoration should improve aquatic species diversity and abundance in the stream channel. The restoration of riparian buffers along the restored stream channel will improve water quality. The reestablishment of the riparian buffers with hardwood species will also improve wildlife habitat on the property. These measures will improve the physical, chemical, and biological components of the unnamed tributary and the Brock property, as well as Big Chinquapin Branch and other downstream waters (EEP, 2006). C. Location and Setting The Project Site is situated in Jones County, approximately 12 miles southeast of Kinston and eight miles west- northwest of Trenton (Figure 1) along an unnamed tributary to Big Chinquapin Branch. Its watershed is part of the Coastal Plain physiographic province, covering approximately 315 acres. The following directions are provided for accessing the Brock Project Site: • From US 70 in Kinston, Proceed east on INC 58 approximately 12 miles. • Turn left onto the gravel farm road approximately one -third mile after passing the intersection with the second loop of Pine Street on the left. • Proceed approximately 800 feet along the gravel farm road. • Project Site is located to the immediate east (right side) of road.

SECTION III. PROJECT CONDITION AND MONITORING RESULTS As previously mentioned, monitoring activities at the Brock Site are tailored to assessing Coastal Plain headwater stream systems and their corresponding buffers. Ecological Engineering conducted vegetation assessments and stream assessments as part of yearly monitoring requirements. A. Vegetation Assessment Four 100 meter vegetation plots were monitored using Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) protocol Level II assessments. The remaining portions of the Project Site were visually assessed. 1. Stem Counts Stem counts were conducted within four strategically placed 10 meter by 10 meter plots. The plots were located based on a representative sample of the entire area of disturbance. They are scattered throughout the Project Site in order to cover the majority of the habitat variations. Vegetation Plots #1, #2 and #4 are related to stream and buffer mitigation credit and occur within the 50 -foot buffer of the channel. Vegetation Plot #3 is outside of the 50 -foot zone and falls under either buffer mitigation credit or Nutrient Offset Nitrogen Reduction credit. The success criteria for stream mitigation credit (Vegetation Plots #1, #2 and #4) is a minimum of 260 stems per acre after five years. The success criteria for buffer mitigation and Nutrient Offset Nitrogen Reduction credits however, is a minimum of 320 planted, hardwood, native stems per acre after five years. Planted stem count viability decreased from 2012 to 2013. Based on our data, the approximate mean for planted stems per acre in 2013 was 404 versus 465 in 2012 and 505 in 2011. Reasons for mortality were not obvious. The chart below provides a summary of the MY 5 counts. Vegetation Total Stem Count/ Acre Planted Stem Planted, Hardwood Stem Count/ Acre Plot No. (SMU Credit) Count/ Acre (BMU or Nutrient Offset N Credit) 1 1,295 688 688 2 364 364 364 3 nla 242 242 4 647 323 323 Vegetation Plots #1, #2 and #4 met the success criteria required for buffer mitigation or Nutrient Offset Nitrogen credit, as well as the success criteria for stream mitigation credit. Vegetation Plot #3 failed to meet the criteria for buffer mitigation or Nutrient Offset Nitrogen credit. A complete breakdown of this information is provided in Appendix A along with photographs of each vegetation plot taken during the assessment. 2. Vegetative Problem Areas Vegetative problem areas are defined as those areas either lacking vegetation or containing exotic vegetation and are generally categorized within the following categories: Bare Bank, Bare Bench, Bare Floodplain or Invasive Population. Based on the monitoring site assessment, vegetation problem areas currently exist within the Project Site from a stem count basis. Visual assessments however, did not reveal any previous areas void of vegetation. The majority of the bare floodplain areas that were observed during 2009 filled in with vegetation prior to the MY 2 assessment and have remained consistent through MY 3, MY 4 and MY 5. During the early summers of 2012 and 2013, both vegetation and boundary signage was partially destroyed along the eastern portion of the easement adjacent to the agricultural field. This destruction was caused by the mowing of an approximately 15 -foot corridor immediately inside the easement area adjacent to the reach. Many of the trees throughout this area were severely impacted. Easement encroachment was also noted along the western side of the Project Site. Recent visits to the Project Site have not revealed any additional mowing or maintenance activities. Vegetation problem areas are summarized in Appendix A - Table 7 and are depicted on Figure 4. As mentioned in previous reports, a supplemental planting was conducted during February 2010 as part of the contractor's vegetation warranty. A second supplemental planting occurred on March 18, 2013 to augment trees in areas exhibiting low planted stem densities. Little to no increase in planted stem counts was discovered however, during MY 5 vegetation assessments. Vegetation Plot #2 was the only plot exhibiting an increase in planted stems. As per the MY 5 assessment, Vegetation Plot #3 remains below the required mitigation threshold. Invasive plant species were observed along the western side of the Project Site in the vicinity of the historical cemetery, as well as near the downstream end within the riparian corridor associated with Big Chinquapin Branch. Chinaberry tree (Melia azedaroch), Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) and multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora) were observed within the cemetery while mainly Chinese privet was noted near the downstream end of the Project Site. A contract is currently in place with HARP for four consecutive invasive treatments within these areas. B. Stream Assessment 1. Procedural Items Under normal circumstances, stream monitoring includes collection of morphometric criteria, specifically dimension and profile measurements. The recommended procedures follow protocol depicted within the USACE Draft Stream Mitigation Guidelines (2003) document. The Brock Site however, offers a method of mitigation that is not consistent with these guidelines. Therefore, monitoring protocols have been updated to better address the monitoring issues at the Project Site. Morphometric Criteria Three cross sections were established along the unnamed tributary. These cross sections are situated at Stations 11 +00, 15 +00 and 23 +00. Appendix B depicts the data, which provides a year -by -year comparison. Exhibit Table V provides baseline data of cross section values with regard to bankfull and dimensions. According to the data collected, the average bankfull area along the stream reach is approximately 5.4 square feet; a decrease in approximately 0.5 square feet from the previous year. This can be attributed to several possible situations: (1) vegetation within the channel; (2) variable flow rates; and, (3) survey differences. Since this is a first order channel, the dimension is expected to vary based on flow rates. The data below denotes a qualitative comparison of the channel characteristics. Based on visual observations, this channel appears stable. No erosion is present. The numbers reveal differences in several of the attributes; however, this data is only a snapshot and does not account for the ever - changing conditions of this type of channel. Exhibit Table V.

In order to meet hydrologic success criteria, a minimum of two events must occur during the five -year monitoring period. In addition, the events must occur in separate monitoring years. The gage is being visited approximately three times per year. Based on our findings, at least one bankfull event has occurred in 2013. Approximately 4.13 inches of rain were associated with a storm event in July 2013, 3.52 inches of rain between August 2 and 4, 2013 and an additional 3.84 inches of rain between August 11 and 18, 2013. This information is depicted in Exhibit Table VI below. In addition, actual precipitation data from a nearby weather station is provided in Appendix C. Based on these results and the data captured during the previous years' monitoring, at least two bankfull events have been recorded during separate years at the Project Site. Therefore, the hydrologic criteria associated with stream restoration have been satisfied for the project.

Stream Problem Areas No significant changes to the dimension were observed during MY 5 monitoring activities. A visual assessment of the channel was conducted throughout its length and no problem areas were noted. Although elevation changes were observed based on the data collected, the visual assessments did not locate any obvious areas of instability and /or erosion. A visual inspection was completed during the monitoring assessment to locate and /or identify areas of inadequate performance. This inspection generally includes an assessment and mental judgment of physical conditions, including structural features. Bank condition was the only feature assessed at the Brock Site. Results of the assessment are depicted below in Exhibit Table VII. Exhibit Table VII.
