RESTORATION PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES EEP develops River Basin Restoration Priorities to guide its restoration activities within each of the state's 54 cataloging units. RBRPs delineate specific watersheds that exhibit both the need and opportunity for wetland, stream and riparian buffer restoration. These watersheds are called Targeted Local Watersheds (TLWs) and receive priority for EEP planning and restoration project funds. The 2009 Chowan River Basin Restoration Priorities identified the Bennett's Creek Watershed (HUC: 030102040040) as a Targeted Local Watershed (Chowan River Basin Restoration Priorities, May 2009). The watershed is characterized by 72% forested and 22% agricultural area with 18% of the TLW's streams unbuffered. The 2009 Chowan River Basin RBRP identified nutrients and sediment loading in addition to streambank erosion as major stressors within this TLW. The Hofler Property Project was identified as a wetland and riparian restoration opportunity to improve water quality, hydrology, and terrestrial wildlife and anadromous fish habitat within the TLW. The primary objective of this project is to restore the site to a wetland complex representative of the surrounding Hardwood Flats and Non - Riverine Swamp Forest wetland communities. The project goals address stressors identified in the TLW and include the following: Goals outlined by the EEP in the "Chowan River Basin Restoration Priorities ": • Implementing stream and wetland restoration projects that reduce sedimentation, nutrient pollution and surface runoff • Working with local landowners to protect and restore watersheds through restoration and preservation projects • Restore and protect sensitive aquatic resources by improving habitat and species diversity through the restoration of wetlands, streams and riparian buffers Goals specific to the Bennett's Creek TLW: • Reduce sediment and nutrient loading from agricultural runoff • Improve downstream anadromous fish habitat and onsite wildlife habitat • Restore groundwater and surface water hydrology in heavily ditched areas • Restore natural drainage patterns where appropriate The project goals will be addressed through the following project objectives: • 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 NCEEP Mitigation Template version 2.0 10/1/2010 5 ® 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 NCEEP Mitigation`Template version 2 0 10/1/2010 2 SITE SELECTION 2.1 Directions to Site The proposed project, Hofler Property, consists of 27.0 acres situated on a 345 19 acre property located within the northeast quadrant of the intersection between Water Swamp Rd. and Silver Springs Rd in the central region of Gates County, NC (Exhibit A) More specifically, the project lies approximately 2 40 miles west - southwest of the town of Sunbury, 6 miles east of the town of Gatesville, 6 3, miles north of the town of Mintonsville, and within 0 50 miles south of the Merchants Mill Pond State Park (Exhibit A) The site can be accessed by heading south on 'Route 32 from the town of Sunbury then taking a right onto Sliver Springs Road The project,is located on the right hand side approximately 2 miles west-of the intersection with Route 32 ,2.2 Site Selection The site has been chosen for various reasons' including burnot Limited to location in the Bennetts Creek TLW (HUC- 03010203040040), adjacent to Merchants Mill Pond State Park (MMPSP) and ease of restoration Approximately 30% of the TLW is designated as Significant Natural Heritage Area including Merchants Mill Pond State Park (2009,Chowan River Basin Restoration Prionties) As with most agricultural lands within this watershed, prior- converted wetlands have been extensively ditched and drained thus lowering the local water table and diminishing aquatic habitat and water quality The site drains from south to north`to an unnamed tributary of Lassiter Swamp due to ditching and Bennetts Creek upstream of Merchants Mill Pond In its current condition, the site is actively farmed for cotton, corn, soybeans and wheat The project area along with the surrounding areas has undergone expansive hydrologic alterations and "excessive sediment and nutrient inputs from agricultural production As a result, the lowering of local water tables, and in some cases, the complete elimination of ground and surface water interaction has occurred leading to water quality degradation Site photographs taken during the preliminary site analysis are provided in Exhibit I. Historic aerial photographs from 1938, 1958, 1981 (Exhibits F, G, H) ,are also provided to help, demonstrate that land use has remained constant while drainage patterns have been continuously altered to provide adequate drainage for agricultural production An in depth soil investigation was completed ,in August of 2011 by a state certified soil scientist which documents the existence of hydric soils within the entire project area A soil report, soil boring logs, and a reference map are provided in Appendix C The plant species chosen for the project will be native to the area, and an emphasis will be placed on installing species that, will provide a viable, yearlong food source for a wide range of animal and plant species The nearby forested wetlands and swamps are home to wild turkeys, bear, whitetail deer, raccoon, squirrel, fox, migrating waterfowl, and a wide variety of ,amphibian and reptile species The 9roject is intended to provide food and habitat NCEEP Mitigation Template version 2 0 10/1/2010 7 -o, t - ra 0 y3r � O&I-A I f`r G � `x. y ! � I -� 0-= -- Z 7,000 `�" - 14,000 , "Feet opyrigh -2013 National Geographic Society, i�cubed ALBEMARLE RESTORATIONS, LLC EXHIBIT A SCALE: 1 inch = 7,000 feet HOFLER PROPERTY WETLAND RESTORATION, PROJECT ID: 95355 STREAM RESTORATION, CONTRACT# 004628 & WILDLIFE HABITAT CREATION VICINITY MAP CHOWAN RIVER BASIN I'1i�`StIll P.O.

MITIGATION WORK PLAN 7 1 Target Wetland Type and Plant Communities Reference data was collected from adjacent unaltered wetland systems including the Hardwood Flats adjacent to Lassiter Swamp to utilize as a grading template for design Vegetation will be chosen to create diverse wetland communities including Hardwood Flats and Non - Riparian Swamp Forest (NC WAM Version 4 1) In selecting vegetation, we evaluated reference wetland areas adjacent to the site and "Dominant Plants for Major Wetland Types" published by the North Carolina Department of Environment Water Quality Section Species chosen will be native to the area with an emphasis placed on installing species that will provide a viable, ,yearlong food source for a wide range of animal and plant species The adjacent forested wetlands and swamps are home to wild turkeys, bear, whitetail deer, raccoon, squirrel, fox, migrating waterfowl, and a wide variety of amphibian and reptile species. The project is intended to provide food, habitat, and travel corridors to complement and enhance the existing ecosystem The project easement boundaries will be surveyed and clearly marked according guidelines developed by EEP and sheet B -1 of the Mitigation Plan set 7.2 Design Parameters The goal of the proposed restoration plan is to restore a prior converted nonriparian wetland system The restoration plan, provided in Appendix D, calls for the restoration of 23 0 acres of non - riparian wetlands within the project area Restoration will balance cut and fill with minimal grading, (average of 0 2 foot) In areas where the field crowns, the elevation will be lowered to 33 8 feet Lowering the ground elevation to 33 8'feet will minimize excess cut while creating a unlform,groundsurface elevation to evenly distribute surface hydrology and providing a sustained' hydroperiod at or within 12" of the soil surface An in -depth soil investigation revealed a presence of soils capable of supporting wetlands dust below the soil surface Results of this soil analysis can be found in Appendix C Hydrologic Modifications- The site- contains four ditches stemming from Silver Springs Road that drain from south to north and west to east into a feeder ditch which flows north directly into the Lassiter Swarnp,portion of Merchants Mill Pond. The drainage dividefor this area is dust south of Silver Springs Road, however the existing roadside ditches divert some runoff east and west, therefore making Silver Springs Road the primary drainage divide for this restoration site (Exhibit C -1) Hydrologic modifications on site include filling in existing drainage ditches, installing ditch plugs at outlets and removing field crowns Design grade elevation, of 33.8' will be established throughout the interior while the surrounding wetland buffer will be set at elevation 35' Ditches draining from Silver Springs Road and surrounding cropland will enter the site via a,series of drainages set at elevation 34 to allow runoff to enter the project Silver Springs Road elevation is approximately 35 5' -35.7' providing at least a foot and a half of freeboard between the inlet /inflow elevation into the site and Silver Springs Road The northern edge of the wetland restoration site will be graded at design elevation 33 8' and left to drain north into the existing ,ditches via ditch plugs /check dams set at elevation 34,' providing the necessary hydrologic connection to Lassiter Swamp (Exhibit C -2) Grading methods will restore various hydrologic regimes ranging from shallow ,inundated areas to intermittently saturated conditions and restore diffuse flow patterns through what will ultimately be a forested, wetland. The proposed, wetlands have been designed to replicate the natural hydrology of NCEEP Mitigation Template version 2 0 9/1/2010 23 nearby reference wetlands The seasonally high water table historically found on the site will maintain saturated soils throughout significant, periods during the growing season Previous wetland mitigation for non - riparian wetlands approved by the Corps for a similar landscape position to this project was used to develop the hydrologic success criteria. A minimum successful hydroperiod of at least 15 days based on a 243 day growing season (6 %) will be considered successful based on the analysis of annual water budgets for the site (see 7 3 Data Analysis) Plant Community Restoration The plant species chosen for the project are native to the area, with an emphasis on species that will provide habitat and a viable, yearlong food source for a wide range of animal and plant species The project is intended provide food and habitat`to complement and enhance the existing ecosystem Hydrophytic species shown on the planting plan 'were selected to create a diverse forested wetland community Invasive and exotic species will not be planted on the site Any invasive or exotic species found on the site will be removed through physical or chemical means during the planting phase In selecting vegetation, we have considered reference non - riparian wetlandi areas adjacent to the site and "Dominant Plants for Mayor Wetland Types" published by the, North Carolina Department of Environment Water Quality Section Sheet P -2 contains detailed planting and seeding schedules for the site Soil Retention Soils found in the project area currently exhibit hydric characteristics and will remain Large woody debris encountered within the project area, will be placed throughout the restored wetlands to add variety to soil conditions,and encourage diversity of volunteer species 7.3 Narrative of Data Analysis Annual Water Budget- An annual water budget was used to model existing hydrology in terms of hydrologic inputs and outputs in order to calculate the change in monthly,storage. Historic climate data from the NOAA's National Climatic 'Data Center was used Temperature and precipitation data was obtained from the Elizabeth City station (GHCND USC00312719), located approximately 30' miles to the southeast of the project site, the closest station with the longest recording period Precipitation data was reviewed and three years were selected to represent a dry (1995), typical (1984) and wet (1996) year Existing Conditions Inputs into the water budget were precipitation, surface water, and groundwater Precipitation data for the three representative years was analyzed and used in the water budget Surface water inputs were calculated using the USDA Soil Conservation Service runoff coefficient equation (USDA, SCS 1986) Groundwater inputs likely exist but have not been quantified_ and therefore are assumed to be zero as a conservative estimate Outputs into the water budget include potential evapotranspiration, surface water and,ground water. Potential evapotranspiration was calculated by the Thornthwaite method using mean monthly air temperature for the representative years chosen. Surface water output was assumed to be equal to surface water inputs since no surface ,storage is present and existing ditches divert water off site A mean monthly total change in storage was determined by subtracting outputs from inputs A maximum wetland water volume of 4 32 inches was calculated based on the specific yield of 0.12 for 36 inches for both soils on site (PnA and BnA) The resulting hydrograph and chart (Appendix C) show a seasonal variation for the dry, average and wet ,years The model shows the majority of hydrologic inputs occur in the late winter -early spring months and summer months for the wet and average years The dry year a'Iso peaks with hydrologic input during the late winter -early spring months but then drops off for the remainder of the growing season NCEEP Mitigation Template version 2 0 9/1/2010 24 and year. 'The site begins to lose saturation;in the upper twelve inches during late summer and into the fall season It is clear from the model and resulting graph that the existing ditches exert a large influence on the site's ability to store water and thus keeps the site from achieving wetland hydrology within the upper twelve inches Proposed Conditions A modified, water budget was developed to analyze, the 'effect of restoration, efforts on the site's hydrology. Calculations for wetland water volume used the same methodology as described above. To estimate the influence on surface roughening and microtopography, an additional 2 4 inches of hydrologic capacity was added to the model. Surface water outflows are predicted to be zero as the existing drainage ditches will be filled and surface water will be retained onsite. Based on the proposed conditions, the budget shows the site achieving jurisdictional wetland hydrology during portions of the early Spring (March) and summer months for the average and wet years when compared to the existing conditions The dry year remains relatively the same for both existing and proposed conditions which is;an indicator the site may or may not be vulnerable to drought conditions. Based upon this analysis, the proposed wetland hydrology will attain jurisdictional hydrology for a period of at least 15 days of the 243 day growing season, which equates to 6% or greater hydroperiod Therefore a 6% or . greater hydroperiod has been chosen as the hydrology design parameter based on the completed water budget. Lateral Effect Analysis Lateral Effect Analysis (Version 2 7)'was performed on the site to determine the draw down effect of the existing ditches Lateral _Effect is the width of hydrologic interference, caused by an adjacent ditch, which is,drained such that it no longer satisfies the wetland hydrologic criterion The lateral effect differed between soil types due largely to differing hydraulic conductivities The Lateral Effect Manual associated with the program used suggests, when drainable soil porosity is unknown, to use a value between 0 035 and 0.04 Evaluations using both the 0 035 and 0 04 values were conducted and compared Soil type PnA has a wider lateral effect than BnA, (Appendix C — Lateral Effect Analysis) Hydrologic interference is also dependent on ditch depth where increased ditch depth increased width of lateral effect. Lateral effect ranged from 44 8 feet (soil BnA, ditch depth of 2 ft) to 155 2 ft (soil PnA, ditch depth of 4 feet) Existing Ditches Ditch depthgenerally increases along the flow length, causing the lateral effect to widen in the direction of flow (south to north) Filling the existing ditches will return the ground water elevation to pre -ditch elevations within the highlighted lateral effect areas (Appendix C — Lateral Effect Analysis).

If performance standards have not been met by year seven, additional monitoring may 'be required to ensure that .a site is relatively stable with respect to anthropogenic or natural effects and that the target community ,is established on the site or the site (or portions of the site) may be deemed to be unacceptable for generation of compensatory mitigation credit. 2 Seven years of monitoring are not required for stream and /or wetland preservation reaches or areas which are subject to'Monitoring Level 3 regdirements of the USACE 2003 SMGs 3 Success criteria as provided in the mitigation plan or in the permit conditions must be restated verbatim In the monitoring report 4 Monitoring reports shall be completed for all seven years and provided to the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) for review by December 1 of each year that the site is required to be monitored This is to ensure that any remedial action that may 'be necessary can be accomplished during the next planting season. Failure to provide monitoring reports by this deadline may result In additional monitoring 5 Vegetation monitoring °standards shall apply to all stream and /or wetland mitigation projects. NCEEP Mitigation Template version 2 0 9/1/2010 28 Visual Wetland Monitoring Requirements 1 Visual monitoring of all wetland restoration and /or enhancement areas shall be conducted 2 times per year and a minimum of 5 months apart, in each of the required 7 years of post - construction monitoring Visual monitoring shall include walking throughout the entire site to identify- and document areas of low stern density or poor plant vigor, invasive species, encroachments, indicators of livestock access, or -other areas of concern 2 The results of the visual assessment shall be included in a plan view of the project identifying the location of each area of concern, along with a written assessment and photographic documentation of the area Once an area of concern has been identified, that same feature shall be reassessed on all subsequent visual assessments Photographs should be taken from ,the same location year -to -year to document progression of the problem. The monitoring reports shall identify all areas of concern and recommended courses of action, which may include continued monitoring, repair or other remedial action. Groundwater Gauge Location and Data Collection Requirements 1 Due to the size and extremely flat nature of the site in addition to the uniformity of the soil profiles described in Appendix C, well density shall be one per five acres (or 9 wells) 'The wells will be located to assess subsurface water levels at various elevations on the site planned as seasonally saturated or temporarily flooded Additionally, 2 pairs of wells will be located near existing perimeter ditches to capture any potential' drainage effects (Exhibit K).

Todd Bowers, USEPA, 7 March, 2014: • Minimum successful hydroperiod should be "at least 15 days" based on 243 days (.06)= 14.58. Anything less than 14 consecutive days would not meet the growing season hydroperiod standard based on 6 percent of the growing season. This could be clarified on page 23 under Hydrologic Modifications and page 25 under Proposed Conditions. Revised hydroperiod text on pages 23 & 24 Section 7.2 Hydrologic Modifications and 7.3 Proposed Conditions and Section 9.0 Performance Standards, Wetland Hydrology, page 27. • I am still troubled by the lack of information both in writing and the site plans how this wetland system is to be tied into waters of the United States. It appears that the ditches within the easement boundary are to be filled to grade. Does this imply that the ditches outside the project and /or easement boundary are to be left intact and thus still able to drain the portions of the site including surface runoff (if any) from the wetland? If so this should be plainly stated under proposed conditions on page 25. As it stands, the proposed conditions state that "surface water outflows are predicted to be zero as the existing drainage ditches will be filled and surface water will be retained onsite ". Does this imply that we are creating an isolated wetland? (See my previous comments also). Revised design parameters under Section 7.2 Hydrologic Modifications, page 23 and added Exhibits C -1 and C- 2, showing pre and post restoration drainage patterns. • Planting 15% sweetgum and red maple is excessive based on the ability of these species to vigorously volunteer on disturbed sites and their lack of hard mast production. Recommend removing or reducing the percent of sweetgum and red maple planted. Adding some minor understory species such as Persea palustris and Cyrilla racemiflora per Erik Kulz's recommendation is encouraged per analysis of Schafale and Weakley Nonriverine Swamp Forest (Non - Riverine Swamp Forest per NCWAM). Sweetgum is not even listed as a component of non - riverine swamp forests unless highly disturbed. Revised Planted Vegetation Performance Standards in Section 9.0 on page 27 and revised the Plant Schedule in plan sheet P -2 2. Eric Kulz, NCDWR, 1 April 2014: DWR has reviewed the revised Mitigation Plan and continues to have a number of questions /concerns. Our previous comments were not addressed in the revised plan. • 1) As stated previously, the plan states that the project will slow runoff rates and provide storage and desynchronization of overland flow before it reaches Lassiter Swamp. The proposed site design still appears to be hydrologically isolated, with berms replacing the access roads on three sides of the site. Also, it appears that a ditch will remain open along the northern property boundary. It would appear that the only water quality benefit of the project is the change in land use from agriculture to forested. It is unclear how surface water runs onto or off of the property. It is also unclear how this project will increase unfragmented forest areas when the site is isolated in the middle of agricultural fields. Revised design parameters under Section 7.2 Hydrologic Modifications, page 23 and added Exhibits C -1 and C -2, showing pre and post restoration drainage patterns and revised Project Goals, page 5. • 2) During an on -site review, DWR Regional staff encountered a restrictive layer at a depth of 6 -9 inches, possibly resulting from 75 years of agricultural production. It is requested that chisel plows or rippers be utilized during construction to ensure proper loosening of soils beyond the restrictive horizon. Revised General Notes on plan sheet T -1 to include ripping to ensure proper loosening of soils below the restrictive horizon (plow pan). • 3) Review of the proposed planting list revealed that sweetgum and red maple are the two species to be planted in greatest numbers. It has been our observation that these species volunteer prolifically and based on research conducted by DWR on older mitigation sites, they will become major canopy species over time through natural processes. Please remove these species from the planting list. Revised Plant Schedule in plan on sheet P -2 • 4) Water oak (Quercus nigra) is identified as a FAC species. Care should be taken to insure this species is planted on drier portions of the site. Also, Schafale and Weakley identify laurel oak (Quercus laurifolia; FACW) and swamp tupelo (Nyssa biflora; OBL), as common canopy species on nonriverine wet hardwood forests (hardwood flat). Please consider revising the planting list. Revised Planted Vegetation Performance Standards in Section 9.0 on page 27 and revised the Plant Schedule in plan sheet P -2 3. T. Crumbley 2 April, 2014: • The Revised Plan still does not meet the EEP minimum standard number /acreage for vegetation monitoring plots within the project area. The minimum number of plots at the time of contract is required to be 2% of the planted portion of the site. Revised vegetation monitoring plots in Section 10.0 Monitoring Requirements on page 28 • As stated in the initial review of this project, it was recommended that: "well placement should be enhanced with additional wells and transects from edge of easement boundaries to capture any drainage effects from proposed perimeter ditches." This comment was not addressed in the revised plan and no additional wells were proposed as transects from remaining ditches along project boundary. Revised groundwater monitoring well quantity and placement in Section 10.0 Monitoring Requirements, Groundwater Gauge Location and Data Collection Requirements on pages 28 -29 and Exhibit K Groundwater Gauge Map • Please be advised that recommendations and comments from both iterations of the Draft Plan (both original and revised) need to be addressed and implemented within the Final Mitigation plan. Permit conditions and credit adjustments may still be warranted if the Final plan does not reveal a good -faith effort to comply with the suggestions and comments of the NCIRT during this review, particularly if performance standards and overall project success are not met. Initial 30 -Day Comment Deadline: 6 February, 2014 4. Todd Bowers, USEPA, 10 January 2014: • In my review of the Hofler Property Mitigation Plan I did not come across a proposed service area for the 22.0 anticipated credits to be generated by this project. Normally this would be within the same and denoted adjacent HUC -8 but I did not find any information provided to confer this assumption. To our knowledge, it is the same HUC, but we are not provided such permit details. • The 22 acre non - riparian wetland in question is to be constructed within the confines of a currently drained cotton field. If the current ditches are removed and replaced to continue draining the field while keeping them at a distance beyond their zone of influence, then would this wetland be considered isolated? The only inputs are high water table (not confirmed) and precipitation. If this wetland is indeed considered isolated (no surface connectivity) then how are we creating jurisdictional Waters of the United States? I have no question as to the function of the wetland as I am sure it could provide suitable habitat and provide for some hydrological recharge of groundwater. However, we are building this wetland to provide credits towards loss of Waters of the United States which is not in keeping with the policy of "no net loss ". The wetlands used for reference data include hardwood flats adjacent to Lassiter Swamp which, although not stated, are most likely hydrologically connected to Bennetts Creek and therefore of a differing hydrologic regime to the proposed restoration site. Revised design parameters under Section 7.2 Hydrologic Modifications, page 23 and added Exhibits C -1 and C -2, showing pre and post restoration drainage patterns. 5. Eric Kulz, NCDWR, 23 January, 2014: DWR has reviewed the Mitigation Plan and has a number of questions /concerns. • 1) The plan states that the project will slow runoff rates and provide storage and desynchronization of overland flow before it reaches Lassiter Swamp. The proposed site design appears to be hydrologically isolated, with the proposed ditches along the east and west sides receiving surface runoff from adjacent farm fields only, as the proposed access roads prevent surface runoff from leaving the site. It would appear that the only water quality benefit of the project is the change in land use from agriculture to forested. It is unclear how surface water runs onto or off of the property. It is also unclear how this project will increase unfragmented forest areas when the site is isolated in the middle of agricultural fields. Revised design parameters under Section 7.2 Hydrologic Modifications, page 23 and added Exhibits C -1 and C -2, showing pre and post restoration drainage patterns and revised Project Goals, page 5. • 2) During an on -site review, DWR Regional staff encountered a restrictive layer at a depth of 6 -9 inches, possibly resulting from 75 years of agricultural production.

Care should be taken to insure this species is planted on drier portions of the site. Also, Schafale and Weakley identify laurel oak (Quercus laurifolia; FACW) and swamp tupelo (Nyssa biflora; OBL), as common canopy species on nonriverine wet hardwood forests (hardwood flat). Similarly, smaller understory species such as swamp bay (Persea palustris) and ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana) were noted by Schafale and Weakley in the majority of examples of this wetland type. Please consider adding some of these species to the proposed planting list. Revised Planted Vegetation Performance Standards in Section 9.0 on page 27 and revised the Plant Schedule in plan sheet P -2. 6. Kathy Matthews, USFWS 27Jonuory. 2014 • The project appears from the engineering drawings to be constructed as a three -sided impoundment in the middle of a farm field. It does not appear to be explicitly connected to Lassiter Swamp (if so, how ?), and it is unclear how a small wetland impoundment surrounded by farm fields and ditches will provide significant benefits to Lassiter Swamp or Bennetts Creek. How is the site going to be connected to Waters of the US? I disagree with the statement on Page 6 that this project has minimal earthwork and disturbance, because of the earthen berm roads on three sides of the project. I am also concerned that the site may need excessive management beyond the 7 -year monitoring period, particularly due to the berms. Revised design plans to remove proposed interior access road and perimeter ditches and revised design parameters under Section 7.2 Hydrologic Modifications, page 23 and added Exhibits C -1 and C -2, showing pre and post restoration drainage patterns. 7.1. Crumbley and T. Tugwell USACE 31 January, 2014: • The District concurs with most of the previous comments. Prior to issuing a final decision (approval or denial) on the Draft mitigation plan, we recommend an additional meeting between the NCIRT, the provider, and NCEEP to address the concerns noted in this review period. • As discussed in other comments, the concern that the wetlands proposed will be disconnected from the surrounding habitats and other aquatic resources by fragmentation in a watershed context is one of the District's as well. Revised design parameters under Section 7.2 Hydrologic Modifications, page 23 and added Exhibits C -1 and C -2, showing pre and post restoration drainage patterns. • There is also concern regarding the elevated road berms that are also proposed to maintain the surface hydrology on the project. We do not see the proposal to artificially impound surface water within the project area as restoring the historical conditions on- site. We have expressed our concern for these manipulated hydrologic containment areas in past closeout visits and discouraged providers from proposing these in the future. Revised design plans to remove proposed interior access road and perimeter ditches. • The hydrologic success criteria should be stated as 6% or greater, rather than 6 -8% or greater. Well placement should be enhanced with additional wells and transects from edge of easement boundaries to capture any drainage effects from proposed perimeter ditches.

Alligators dig dens in river or lake margins or in marshes, they spend cold winter and drought periods in the den They depend on access to air holes to survive in ice- covered ponds. The American alligator is common in all drainages of Gates County, Merchants Millpond State 'Park, and Chowan River Once the project is completed, it could provide suitable habitat for American alligators; however in its current state as cropland, no suitable habitat exist. Therefore, based on habitat requirements and an onsite review,, a biological conclusion of "No Effect" has been made American eel American eel is a catadromous fish found on the eastern coast of North America that lives in fresh water and estuaries Eels are bottom dwellers and hide in burrows, tubes, snags, masses of plants, other types of'shelters They are found in a variety of habitats including streams, rivers, and muddy or silt- bottomed lakes during their freshwater stage, as well as oceanic waters, coastal bays and estuaries. Due to the• proposed project's headwater location in the watershed and existing conditions, there is no suitable habitat for this species Therefore, a biological conclusion of "No Effect" has been made Atlantic_stureeon Atlantic sturgeon are anadrornous fish that spawn in freshwater in the spring and early summer and migrate into "estuarine" and marine waters where they spend most -of their lives In some southern rivers a fall spawning migration may also occur They spawn in moderately flowing water (46 -76 cm /s) in deep parts of large rivers Sub - adults and adults live in coastal waters and estuaries when not spawning, generally in shallow (10 -50 m depth) near shore areas dominated by gravel and sand substrates. Due to the proposed project's headwater location in the watershed and existing conditions, there is no suitable habitat for this species. Therefore, a biological conclusion of "No Effect" has been made Black- throated green °warbler In southern Virginia and coastal North Carolina, black - throated green warblers are closely associated' with Atlantic white cedar Where cedar is scarce or absent, such as coastal South Carolina, these birds are found primarily in non- alluvial forested wetlands or transitional zones between upland and wetland Black- throated green warblers are sometimes found in small or headwater riparian forests, but most observers suggest an association with forest stands growing in non - alluvial muck swamp The project area is currently tilled cropland with several degraded lateral drainage ditches. Based on the habitat requirements and an onsite review, there is no suitable habitat for this species within the project area, therefore a biological conclusion of "No Effect" has been made. Eastern Henslow's sparrow This species occupies ephemeral grassland habitats Specific grassland features include• unbroken patches of at least 75 acres which are part of larger tracts (at least 400 acres); native grass species like 'little 'bluestem, prairie dropseed,, blue joint, and 'Indian grass; few woody, plants; substantial litter and old, erect grass stems; and' fairly deep weed and,grass,,growth: Periodic burning, light grazing, and controlled mowing,produce these conditions Reclaimed strip, mines, fallow fields, powerline cuts, and restored prairie can also be used by this sparrow Winter habitats include coastal grasslands, pine savannah, and pitcher plant bogs The project area is currently tilled cropland with several latera'I drainage ditches Based on the habitat requirements and an onsite review, there is no suitable habitat for this species within the project area, therefore a biological conclusion of "No Effect" has been made. Rafinesgue's big -eared bat This bat has,a split range in North Carolina, in the southern Appalachians, and in the sandhills and coastal plain Natural roost sites include hollow trees and caves, but throughout its range most records of this species arefrom abandoned buildings. Caves and mines are used by this bat in the upland portions of its range, including North Carolina In abandoned structures, this bat,is found in the darkest portions of the building, preferring windowless rooms such as bathrooms and closets; but in caves, areas receiving some natural light seem preferred Sites along, river systems and other permanent bodies of water nearby old growth forests are preferred Based on the habitat requirements and an onsite review, there is no suitable, habitat within the project area, nor is suitable habitat likely to occur once the project is,completed Therefore, a biological conclusion of "No Effect" has been.made Red - Cockaded woodpecker Red - Cockaded Woodpeckers (RCWs) require open stands of pine, containing trees at least 60 years old and living, in which to excavate their cavities. Longleaf pines (Pinus palustris) are most commonly used as cavity trees, but other species of southern pine such as loblolly pine (Pinus toedo), are also acceptable. Foraging habitat is provided in mature (greater than 30 years old) pine and mixed pine /hardwood stands ranging from 80 to 125 acres. Dense stands of hardwoods, or pine stands with a dense hardwood understory are avoided. The proposed project area is currently titled cropland with several lateral ditches Once restored, the project will function as a non - riparian wetland dominated by stands of bottomland hardwoods and pockets of emergent wetland vegetation. Based on the habitat requirements and an onsite review, there is no suitable;habitat for RCWs within the project area, nor is suitable habitat likely to occur once the project is completed. Therefore, a biological conclusion of "No Effect" has, been made Southeastern, myotis These bats generally use buildings and other structures, mines, and hollow trees­ (e.g., water tupelo, black gum, water hickory, bald cypress) for spring and summer roosts. Foraging habitat is riparian floodplain forests or wooded wetlands with permanent open water, These bats may forage primarily over lakes, ponds, or slow - moving streams Based on the habitat requirements and an onsite review, there is no suitable habitat within the project area, nor is suitable habitat likely to occur once the project is completed. Therefore, a biological conclusion of "No Effect" has been made. West Indian Manatee The West Indian Manatee is an endangered species which inhabits both marine and freshwater environments. Based on the habitat requirements and an onsite review, there is no Suitable habitat for Manatees within the project area, nor is suitable habitat likely to occur once the project is completed Therefore, a biological conclusion of "No Effect" has been made. Grassleaf arrowhead This aquatic herbaceous plant is rooted to the ground, with stems and leaves emerging above the water surface This species is commonly found in waterways, marshes, swamps, drainage ditches, irrigation channels and, ,rice crops in warmer temperate, sub - tropical and tropical environments Currently, the distribution of this species is not 'found in this area The project site is currently tilled cropland with several lateral ditches_ Once restored, the project will function as a nonriparian depressional wetland dominated by stands of',bottomland hardwoods and pockets of emergent wetland vegetation Based on the habitat requirements and an onsite review, there is no suitable habitat for this species within the project area, noHs suitable habitat likely to occur once the project is completed Pondspice Pondspice is a rare deciduous shrub found in wet areas of the outer Coastal Plain It, is endemic to the southeastern US Coastal Plain and found nowhere else in the world It is found on margins of swamps, limesink ponds, bay heads, small ponds, pitcher plant savannas, natural doline ponds and in low wet woodlands This species occurs on wet, sandy or peaty, and quite acid soils Like Lindera, it may form thickets and thus, while spotty in distribution, may be abundant locally. Based on the habitat requirements and an onsite review, there is no suitable ,habitat within the project area, nor is suitable habitat likely to occur once the project is completed Therefore, a biological conclusion of "No Effect" has been made.
