RE: Hoffer Monitoring Year 7 Report
Dear Ms. Crocker,
Ecotone, Inc. has addressed the comments made on December 15, 2021 by DMS for the above
referenced project. The following is a point-by-point response addressing those comments.
Additionally, an updated copy of the MY7 Report will be submitted.
1. Please provide narrative or show on map exactly where the ditch plugs were lowered
Ecotone Response: Locations of where ditch plugs were lowered are now depicted on the
CCPV on Page 12.
2. Provide list of tree species planted(number and N. Please notate which oaks were
planted instead of describing a "mix of oaks. " Describe or show exactly which areas of
the site were planted.
Ecotone Response: Tree species types, numbers and percentages as well as a description
of the areas planted have been added to Page 5 of the Report.
3. Provide date of planting, method, nursery, and tree type (bare root, gallon, etc.) in
report.
Ecotone Response: All trees planted were hand-planted bare root seedlings. Nurseries
and tree types are included on Page 5.
4. Table 2. Add the date that ditch plugs were modified. Provide before and after pictures
with date stamp.
Ecotone Response: Ditch plugs were modified on November 24, 2020. This is included in
Table 2,page 9 of the report.
5. In MYS, vegetation plots ranged from 0-364 stems per acre; with an average of 162. The
adaptive management plan indicates that Abermarle planted 6,000 over 23 acres, which
is about 260 stems per acre if the site was planted uniformly. In MY7, vegetation plots
ranged from 0-445; with an average of 200 stems per acre. In the early part of the
growing season in MY7, gauges are showing no hydrology, which would give the trees
time to establish. Please provide an explanation of lack of survival for these trees if
possible.
Ecotone Response: While hydrology was more favorable to tree survival after the
additional 6,000 trees were planted in April 2021, competition with herbaceous
vegetation was not favorable to success of trees. Because herbaceous vegetation had

Page 2 of 3
several years to become fully established without competition from trees, the height and
density of the herbaceous vegetation likely hindered establishment of trees. Tree species
and planting spacing could also play a role in overall counts. At the request of COE,
species other than cypress were planted but survival was not as successful as cypress
plantings. Additionally, some areas of the project were planted at 12x12 foot spacing
while others were planted at 15x15 foot spacing.
6. The visual assessment table shows 12.79 acres as bare areas. Show these areas as a
shapefile on your CCPV.
Ecotone Response: Table 5 on page 13 shows 0.00 acres of bare areas and 12.79 acres of
low stem density areas. These areas have been marked on the CCPV, included on page 12
of the report.
7. Page 16,pictures in the report are from MY6. Update for MY7. It is suggested that
Abermarle include photos of Adaptive Management work and current conditions.
Ecotone Response: Photos of each vegetation plot have been added to the photo section
with time stamps from August 2021.
8. Adaptive Management plan called for 10-15 additional random 10x10m vegetation plots.
Provide this data in report or explain why this did not occur.
Ecotone Response: The additional 10-15 vegetation plots were not surveyed, which is an
oversight. The monitoring work was conducted by a subcontractor and the additional 10
plots were not indicated in the agreement. This can be added to the monitoring plan for
2022.
9. Update bottom section of Table 1 to the non-riparian wetland column.
Ecotone Response: This table has been updated to reflect the correct acreage of non-
riparian wetland.
Electronic Comments:
1. Please include a figure representing the low stem density areas and areas of poor growth
rates or vigor and include these features in the CCPV.
Ecotone Response: The areas of low stem density (12.79 acres) and the 23 acres of poor
growth/vigor are indicated on the CCPV included on page 12 of the report.
2. The start of growing season line for gauge 1 is misplaced. Also,please include the start
of growing season date in all groundwater gauge figures.
Ecotone Response: Start of growing season line for gauge 1 has been fixed. Start of
growing season dates have been provided for all groundwater gauge figures.
3. Please review the reported consecutive days for wetland gauge data. Gauge 7,for
example, appears to show only 40 consecutive days after 9/24.
Ecotone Response: Maximum consecutive hydroperiods have been reviewed for all
gauges and updated in Table 8. Gauge 7 now shows a period of 61 days and Gauge 9
shows a period of 87 days.
Thank you for your consideration of these monitoring report comments. We appreciate your
assistance with our project thus far, and we look forward to working with you to complete the
review process. Feel free to contact us at 410-420-2600.

Hofler Property,Project ID#95355

1.0: PROJECT SUMMARY
1.1: Project Objectives
The project objectives of the Hofler property per the approved mitigation plan are as
follows:
• Enhance water quality by providing shading from forest cover, which will reduce
thermal impacts associated with excess algae growth and decreased dissolved
oxygen concentrations
• Slow runoff rates and provide storage and desynchronization of overland flow
before it reaches Lassiter Swamp,located directly north of the project,by restoring
the wetland complex
• Provide nutrient attenuation and uptake by restoring dense vegetation interspersed
with shallow diffuse flows, thus improving downstream habitat
• Provide minimal earthwork and disturbance, as determined through preliminary
site analyses, to the area to accomplish designed wetland topography
• Impact existing ecological communities as little as possible. No remnant wetland
communities exist on site and no impacts to wetlands or riparian buffers will occur
due to the restoration project.
1.2: Project Success Criteria
Wetland hydrology data must consistently document the appropriate hydroperiod has been
restored for all areas proposed for wetland mitigation. The targeted hydroperiod for the
Hofler Property is 6% or greater. Planted vegetation will be considered successful if at
least 320 three-year-old planted stems/acre are present after year three.At year five,density
must be no less than 260 five-year-old planted stems/acre. At year 7, density must be no
less than 210 seven-year-old planted stems/acre. Additionally, planted vegetation must
average 10 feet in height in each plot at year 7. Per the recommendations of the NCIRT,
the following understory species were incorporated in the planting schedule on the
condition they be exempted from the minimum 10-foot height criterion and exempted from
the calculation of average height as a measure of that success criterion: Button bush (C.
occidentalis), Sweet Bay (M. virginiana), Wax myrtle (M. cerifera), and Laurel oak (Q.
laurifolia). These species will be included in the calculations for the survival criterion. All
vegetative monitoring will follow CVS-EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation-Version
4.0.
Additionally, the project will strive to establish a variety of hydrologic regimes ranging
from shallow inundated areas to intermittently saturated conditions, restoring diffuse flow
patterns through what will ultimately be a forested wetland. The successful establishment
of these conditions, mimicking nearby reference wetlands will help determine the overall
success of the project.

Hofler Property,Project ID#95355

1.3: Project Setting
The Hofler property consists of +/- 345 acres, of which 27 acres have been designated for
this project. The site consisted of a rectangular tract of land primarily being used for cotton
and small grain production. The prior converted wetlands on the site had been extensively
ditched and drained, lowering the local water table and diminishing aquatic habitat and
water quality. The site drained from south to north to an unnamed tributary of Lassiter
Swamp and Bennets Creek upstream of Merchants Mill Pond. The project site along with
the surrounding areas has undergone expansive hydrologic alterations and excessive
sediment and nutrient inputs from agricultural production resulting in overall water quality
degradation. The vicinity map is included with the CCPV in Appendix B. Table 4 in
Appendix A contains additional information regarding the project's location and attributes.
1.4: Mitigation Components
The mitigation components are 23 acres of non-riparian wetland restoration with a credit
ratio of 1:1 (Restoration:WMU),please refer to Table 1 for more information.
1.5: Project Timeline
Construction commenced on August 12th, 2014 with the installation of recommended
erosion control practices and was completed on Oct. 14th, 2014. Planting was officially
concluded on May 6th, 2015 (Table 2). Refer to Table 2 in Appendix A for the Project
History and Reporting Timeline.
1.6: Design Approach
A natural design approach focused on mimicking nearby wetlands, including non-riparian
hardwood flats and swamp forests both in hydrologic regime and vegetative diversity.
Grading was specifically formulated to provide storage for overland flow while creating
densely vegetated plots interspersed with shallow diffuse flows. All of these features
contribute to nutrient and sediment attenuation, improving downstream habitat and
promoting diversity of ecological communities. The reference area for this project is a
nearby mature hardwood flat with the same soils and topography and similar hydrologic
function. The reference area is within Merchant's Millpond State Park.
1.7: Project Performance
Hydrology was successful over the entire project site. Monitoring in year 7 shows that the
site closely followed the hydrology of the reference site. The hydrology charts are included
in Appendix E.
Page:4
Year 7(2021)Monitoring Report
Hofler Property,Project ID#95355

Rainfall was lower than normal during early spring (March-May) and fall (September and
October) and higher than normal throughout the summer months due to storm activity
(June-August).
In this, year seven of monitoring, tree survival was found to be higher than in year 6. Ten
of the eighteen permanent plots showed a survival number of planted stems that did not
meet the year 7 success criteria, down from fourteen of eighteen in year 6. The overall
average survival for the site was 200 planted stems per acre. However,the count of natural
plus planted stems averaged to 523 stems per acre, which is the highest count to date and
indicates that the site is making progress towards being an established forested wetland.
The oaks continue to struggle against the very heavy herbaceous vegetation. The cycle of
resprout, dieback and resprout continues to take its toll. The cypress stem count seems to
have stabilized, with only a few stems lost. Their shade tolerant nature has helped them
overcome the dense vegetation.
Per the recently approved adaptive management plan (see Appendix F), 6,000 trees were
planted during the 2021 planting season on April 8,2021. The majority were cypress(66%,
4,000 count), since they are able to survive the harsh competition. The cypress trees were
sourced from ArborGen's Coastal Plain nursery. The remaining 2,000 included 1,000
willow oak (16.7%) and 1,000 swamp white oak (16.7%). The oaks were sourced from
the Virginia Department of Forestry nursery. All trees planted were bare root seedlings
and were hand planted. 13.8 acres of the southern region of the site, encompassing plots 1-
3, 11-16 and 18, were planted with 3,800 cypress at 12 ft spacing. 3.8 acres of the
northwestern region of the site,encompassing plots 4-7,were planted with 200 cypress and
a mix of 500 willow and swamp white oaks at 15 ft spacing. 5.1 acres of the northeastern
region of the site,encompassing plots 8-10 and 17,were planted with a mix of 1500 willow
and swamp white oaks at 12 ft spacing.
Also, per the approved plan, the ditch plugs were lowered to promote drainage from the
site. The goal is to create a slightly drier environment which will help lessen the stress on
the trees.
1.8: Methods and References
Monitoring methodology did not differ from the approved Mitigation Plan. Vegetation
assessment was done according to the level 2 protocol specified by the Carolina Vegetation
Survey. Hydrology monitoring wells were installed per ERDC TN-WRAP-00-02
"Installing Monitoring Wells/Piezometers in Wetlands" dated 2000. Groundwater levels
were recorded using the U20-001-01 water level data loggers manufactured by Onset
Computer. The loggers were installed in the wells per the manufacturer's instructions.

Year 6 Approved Adaptive Management Plan
USACE Permit Needs Determination

Hoffer Property-Adaptive Management Plan, Revised 09/25/20
Albemarle Restorations, LLC, (AR) is proposing the following Adaptive Management Plan
(AMP) for the Hofler Property (DMS Contract #004628) for the North Carolina Division of
Mitigation Services(DMS)and Interagency Review Team(IRT)review and comment. This AMP
has been revised based on the comments received from the IRT team on June 23, 2020, in which
the IRT requested that a revised AMP be submitted that addressed the issue of excess hydrology
that has stressed planted stock. As such AR is submitting the following AMP to address both the
hydrologic stressor and planted vegetation performance:
1. Lowering the existing ditch plugs to an elevation of 33.7' or approximately 4" per plug. Per the
approved as-built, the restored wetlands range in elevations from 33.91' to 33.71', with the
average being 33.8' as designed. The ditch plugs were built to elevation 34.0' per design,
approximately two tenths above the finish grade of the wetlands. We selected elevation 33.7'
instead of 33.8'to try and reduce ponding in any isolated depressions. This remedial action should
promote better off site drainage, helping to reduce inundation and ponding into the growing
season, which will facilitate better tree survival and growth.
2. Conduct tree planting this winter (20/21) using bare root and/or containerized (based on
availability) Bald cypress at a rate of 200 trees/ac or more to bring the stocking up to required
levels in underperforming areas. These areas consist of the lower half of the project site,
represented by plots 1, 2 and 11-18, as identified in the MY5 Monitoring Report (pg. 11).
Additional tree planting across the entire site may occur based on seedling availability. Bald
cypress was chosen because of its ability to grow in wet conditions,tolerance to competition, and
past performance on site.
3. Conduct 10-15 additional vegetation plot (1/100th ac)surveys across the site this year.These will
be randomly located outside of existing survey locations to better assess tree height, density, and
survivorship.
Continue Hydrologic and Vegetation monitoring for additional three (3) years (MY8, MY9 &
MY10) to ensure achievement of success criteria.

Good afternoon,
The 15-day comment review period for the NCDMS Hofler Mitigation Site Adaptive Management Plan(SAW-2012-01393)closed on
October 22,2020.Per Section 332.8(0)(9)of the 2008 Mitigation Rule,this review followed the streamlined review process.All
comments received during the review process are below.
IRT Comments on the Hoffer Site Adaptive Management Plan:
The proposed AMP aims to address previously mentioned concerns of excessive hydrology and resulting vegetative mortality.We
concur that replanting,additional hydrology monitoring,and additional veg monitoring(MYB-10)may help meet performance
standards.The IRT requests that a diversity of species be planted,rather than the proposed single species.The IRT agrees that if the
excessive site hydrology is appropriately addressed,additional species should be suitable for this site. Please note that the original
vegetative performance standard at MY7 was set for at least 210 stems per acre with an average height of 10 feet still applies.There is
concern that this will be difficult to meet.Failure to meet this standard may lead to an adjustment of credit to account for vegetative
density and vigor concerns.
It is our intent to approve this adaptive management plan provided you address IRT concerns listed above.Please contact the
mitigation office if you have questions.
Respectfully,

2012-01393;NCEEP Project#95355
Mr.Tim Baumgartner
North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program
1652 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,NC 27699-1 6 52
Dear Mr.Baumgartner:
The purpose of this letter is to provide the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program
(NCEEP) with all comments generated by the North Carolina Interagency Review Team (NCIRT)
during the 30-day comment period for the the Hoffer Property Wetland Mitigation Site Plan,which was
reposted and closed on April 5,2014. These comments are attached for your review.
This mitigation plan was originally posted in January, 2014, Comments posted identified
numerous concerns with the projects(see attached memo). Because of these comments,the plan was
revised in March 2014,and reposted on March 6,2014 for a second review. The deadline for comments
was April 5,2014. An initial review of the comments revealed that many of the comments from the first
round of comments had not been addressed in the March mitigation plan revision.
Prior to making a determination as to whether to approve this project, a third copy of the
mitigation plan, dated May 2014, was received on May 29, 2014, This plan has subsequently been
reviewed in light of the comments provided by NCIRT members during the review. Most of the
comments have been addressed in the recent version of the plan, including concerns regarding well
placement,vegetation plots,appropriate hydroperiod, and the proposed species list for planting. Based
on these modifications, we have determined that major concerns identified with the Draft Mitigation
Plan have been addressed,and the mitigation plan is considered approved with this correspondence.
Nevertheless, we believe it is important to note that the location and method of construction at
the proposed site are not preferred,and effort should be made to avoid this type of project in the future.
As a general rule,we do not believe that building berms around a restored wetland is an appropriate way
to reestablish hydrology on a site. To begin with,this is not true restoration as you are establishing an
entirely new hydrology regime on the site. Water flow into and out of the wetland is severely restricted
by the berms,and the outflow elevation for the entire site is controlled by"ditch plugs/check dams"(see
discussion on page 23 of the mitigation plan dated May 2014). In addition,there is the potential that

berms may be breached in the future though natural or anthropogenic means, which could affect the
hydrology of the entire site. Lastly,constructing a wetland site in the middle of an agricultural field is
not ideal as it drastically limits the connection between the site and forested wetlands adjacent to or
downstream from the project. In this case,water flowing from the site must travel through more than'/4
mile of ditch before it reaches the forested headwaters of Lassiter Swamp, limiting the benefit of the
project and the ability of the site to fully achieve the stated goals of the mitigation plan.
The Final Mitigation Plan is to be submitted with the Preconstruction Notification (PCN)
Application for Nationwide permit approval of the project along with a copy of this letter. All changes
made to the Final Mitigation Plan should be summarized in an errata sheet included at the beginning of
the document, As it was determined that the project does not contain jurisdictional waters of the U.S.,
construction for the project does not require a Department of the Army permit;however,you must still
provide a copy of the Final Mitigation Plan,along with a copy of this letter,to the appropriate USACE
field office at least 30 days in advance of beginning construction of the project. Plisse note that this
approval does not preclude the inclusion of permit conditions in the permit authorisation for the project.
Additionally,this letter provides initial approval for the Mitigation Plan, but this does not guarantee that
the project will generate the requested amount of mitigation credit. As you are aware,unforeseen issues
may arise during construction or monitoring of the project that may require maintenance or
reconstruction that may lead to reduced credit.

No, that was an oversight. No need for a PCN.

Todd,
Thanks for the letter. We are a little confused. The last paragraph of the letter says to
submit a PCN. There is no PCN needed for the project because the site is not currently
jurisdictional. Do they submit a PCN anyway or was this an oversight?
Thanks

Mr. Baumgartner,

Attached is the approval letter for the Draft Mitigation Plan for the Hafler Mitigation
Project, along with all the comments that were generated during the IRT's review of the
project on the Mitigation Plan Review Portal. Please note that this letter approves the
❑raft Mitigation Plan. The site was determined to have no waters of the U.S., s❑ a permit is
not required for construction; however, a copy of the final mitigation plan should be
provided at least 30 days prior to construction an site. Also, please ensure that the Final
Mitigation Plan is posted to NCEEP's documents portal so that all members of the IRT have
access to the Final plan.
Please let me know if you have any questions about the process or the attached letter.
