It is within US Geological Survey Hydrologic Unit 03020204010060 and NC Division of Water Resources ( NCDWR) Sub -basin 03 -04 -11 of the Neuse River Basin. It is situated in an area dominated by agricultural operations and was previously utilized for crop production. Although the Unnamed Tributary (UT) to Big Chinquapin Branch is in its natural valley, it had been somewhat straightened and routinely maintained for agricultural drainage. The DOT purchased a conservation easement on this stream to meet stream and buffer restoration needs. Project implementation included stream restoration by establishing floodplain connectivity and riparian buffer restoration with an average of 75' on either side of the UT. Project restoration efforts provided 1,233 Stream Mitigation Units (SMUs), 270,072 square feet (6.20 acres) of buffer. These amounts are provided in more detail in Section 3.0. 2.0 PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES Project specific goals at the Brock Site 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, • A 40 -foot wide floodplain bench on right stream side in order to dissipate channel flow, serve as a nutrient cycling area between the agricultural field and the stream, and to increase channel stability during moderate to high discharge events. Stream work was limited to right bank due to the location of a historic slave cemetery on the left stream bank. The system of measurement to determine successful implementation includes documentation and caparison of annual cross section surveys, stream hydrology via a crest gage and documentation of vegetation development through permanent 100- meter 2 plots. 3.0 SUCCESS CRITERIA Table 2. Success Criteria Brock Stream Restoration Site Feature Stream Success Criteria Stable conditions at permanently placed cross - sections Condition Criteria Met Hydrology A minimum of two bankfull events documented in separate monitoring years Criteria Met Average of 260 planted woody stems /acre, as indicated by permanent vegetation plots Vegetation after five years of monitoring (SMU credit only).

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. A total of two supplemental plantings were conducted at the Brock site. In March 2013, an additional 840 containerized hardwood trees were installed due to low vigor. In March 2014, an additional 50 bareroot hardwood trees were installed due to a minor landowner encroachment. The chart below provides a summary of the vegetation counts within plots as of March 2014. All vegetation plots met the success criteria required for buffer mitigation or Nutrient Offset Nitrogen credit, as well as the success criteria for stream mitigation credit.

All four vegetation plots exceed the buffer mitigation success criteria of 320 planted stems per acre in year five. All three cross sections exhibited continuous stability through all monitoring years and greater than five bankfull occurrences were reported in separate monitoring years. The enhancement of Ut to Big Chinquapin Branch effectively improved water quality through stabilizing stream banks, revegetating a buffer zone greater than 50 feet along the entire stream reach, and promoting nutrient removal by restoring access to a floodplain. EEP recommends closing out this Site with 1,233 proposed Stream Mitigation Units and 270,072 square feet of buffer restoration. 5.0 CONTINGENCIES EEP recommends closing the Brock Stream Restoration Site out with no contingencies Closeout Report - Brock Stream Restoration Site, Jones County Page 10 NCDENR Ecosystem Enhancement Program Prepared by Ecological Engineering, LLP, February 2014 ANNUAL MONITORING PHOTOGRAPH SUMMARY Photostation Number and Year 0 Baseline - Taken July 2009 Year 1 - Taken November 2009 Year 2 - Taken July 2010 Year 3 - Taken July 2011 Year 4 - Taken July 2012 Year 5 - Taken August 2013 Location Closeout Report — Brock Stream Restoration Site, Jones County Paae 13 NCDENR Ecosystem Enhancement Program Prepared by Ecological Engineering, LLP, February 2014 ANNUAL MONITORING PHOTOGRAPH SUMMARY CONTINUED Photostation Number and Year 0 Baseline - Taken July 2009 Year 1 - Taken November 2009 Year 2 - Taken July 2010 Year 3 - Taken July 2011 Year 4 - Taken July 2012 Year 5 - Taken August 2013 Location #11 Facing northeast along the _,,... •. eastern axis of _ Vegetation Plot #4 v 1 x {{ x #12 Facing :. northwest across Vegetation Plot #4 Ago #13 Facing southwest (upstream) along the tributary from Station 28 +25 �p #14 Facing northeast along buffer area associated with tributary from ; 5 Station 28 +25 #15 Facing - southwest from Chinquapin Branch 'e 1 1.
