Also enclosed is one copy each of the front cover, inside cover, and page ii to replace those pages in the copy of the report that we sent to you earlier. The Bailey Creek mitigation channel has been monitored for six years (1997 through 2002). During these years of monitoring, the fish and benthic macro invertebrate communities have become well established and have exhibited a general trend toward increasing diversity. We believe that the relocated section of Bailey Creek has been colonized successfully and that further monitoring is not warranted. Specific data supporting the cessation of monitoring include the following: 1 . Nine of the 10 fish species recorded during pre- disturbance baseline sampling in 1995 have been recorded in the mitigation channel, and species richness has equaled or exceeded pre- disturbance baseline species richness in most years (see Figures IV -9 and IV -1 1). In addition, 14 species not recorded at baseline have been recorded in the mitigation channel. 2. Macroinvertebrate taxa richness in the mitigation channel has equaled or exceeded pre- disturbance baseline taxa richness in most years (see Figures IV -7 and IV -8). 3. EPT taxa richness in the mitigation channel has exceeded EPT taxa richness in the pre- disturbance baseline sample in every year since 1998 (see Table III -2 and Figure IV -1). 1061 EAST INDIANTOWN ROAD • SUITE 100 • JUPITER, FLORIDA 33477 -5143 TEL 561/747-7455 • FAX 561/747-7576 • czrjup @aol.com • www.CZRINC.com Mr. Jeffrey C. Furness 6 January 2003 Page 2 4. For 2000 through 2002, macroinvertebrate biotic index values for the summer sample in the mitigation channel averaged 7.8 versus the pre- disturbance baseline value of 8.3 (see Figure IV -5). 5. The percentage of intolerant macroinvertebrate taxa has been consistently higher in the mitigation channel samples than in the pre- disturbance baseline sample (see Figure IV -6). 6. The annual number of new macroinvertebrate taxa found in the mitigation channel has declined in recent years, which suggests that the macroinvertebrate community has become more stable. Thank you for the opportunity to serve PCS Phosphate on this project. We will be glad to meet with you and /or DWQ to discuss these data further.

INTRODUCTION A. Purpose ' This report presents the results of the 2002 aquatic macroinvertebrate and fish surveys conducted by CZR Incorporated (CZR) for PCS Phosphate Company, Inc. (PCS Phosphate) in the Bailey Creek mitigation channel. The mitigation channel is part of the overall project of bottomland hardwood wetlands creation on the relocated portion of Bailey Creek (Figure 1 -1). Sampling of the creek is required under the 401 Water Quality Certification (No. 951281) issued on 6 March 1996 to PCS Phosphate by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ, formerly Division of Environmental Management) of the North ' Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Correspondence between PCS Phosphate and regulatory agencies that occurred during the course of the permit process and approval can be found in the annual report for 1997 (CZR Incorporated 1998). A copy of the monitoring plan can also be found in that report. This is the sixth report on aquatic macroinvertebrates and fish of the Bailey Creek mitigation channel, which was constructed during May through September 1996. ' B. Proiect Site The site is located approximately 2 miles southwest of Aurora, North Carolina, between Guilford Station Road (S.R. 1937) and the eastern bridge crossing of Bailey Creek by the Norfolk and Southern Railway (Figure 1 -1). A detailed description of the mitigation site and channel is found in the ' "As -built Report for the 4.8 Acres of Bottomland Hardwood Wetlands Creation on Bailey Creek, Beaufort County, North Carolina" (CZR Incorporated 1997). The upstream end of the 10 -foot wide mitigation channel begins at the outlet of the stilling basin just east of Guilford Station Road (S.R. 1937) and continues northeast for approximately 3,000 linear feet to join the historical Bailey Creek. An ' "undisturbed segment" (approximately 200 feet long) of the channelized Bailey Creek and adjacent ' fringing hardwoods occurs midway along the mitigation channel (Figure 1 -2). The mitigation channel has a relatively flat bottom approximately 10 feet in width and a floodplain that varies in width from 25 to 50 feet on either side. To provide structural diversity, log -drop structures were installed across the channel in three locations, and ine trees uprooted during site preparation were anchored in the �X_ 4 u� 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 I 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 - -mss. ✓' .' p °J t ' 1 dV 1 ° c ,1 6J C7 V f f f. f 15 N % Q � , , r � h , i r � r 0 i c r 0 r � r 'v .�Y r C7vi i 0 !r 1 -2 LL O Q C3 U � jNrna o z Q N N .� CC Nz Q E / > E 700 ¢ Q m m ry A z2 ;Creek Q a ° z w a g � a cc w Z f 0 j W z Utz 00 10 o 0< °C a m CC a U Ow a f a cc j V) U i U } W J O c O O = ! m N CF) f: o z • J W Win: •pf• 0 1 U z m Y co 0 Y U m w U m cc m z 3 (=7 a U LL c LL O Q C3 U � jNrna o z Q N N .� CC Nz Q E / > E 700 ¢ Q m m ry A z2 ;Creek Q a ° z w a g � a cc w Z f 0 j W z Utz 00 10 o 0< °C a m CC a U Ow a f a cc j V) U i U } W J O c O O = ! m N CF) f: o z • J W Win: •pf• 0 1 U z i { + Ow i' �• t •� i i • t r f g • ' 3 lop t {'cif f w � '' j � T •tea ;� •sip 1 ' ! •iJi. • • ,�• � i yr' �4 n • i + f� � F s jTr 7 s•• t I 41v.

The floodplain was planted with seedlings and saplings of 11 bottomland hardwood species as well as stabilizing grass varieties between 21 January and 1 March 1997. A 1996 aerial view of the mitigation site, which includes the channel and adjacent bottomland hardwood creation areas, is found in Figure 1 -2. 1 -4 1 IL METHODOLOGY A. Macroinvertebrates Although no baseline sampling was required by DWQ as a condition of the 401 Certification, PCS Phosphate contracted CZR to conduct benthos sampling in Bailey Creek during the 0 summer of 1995. The sampling was done at two locations in Bailey Creek that were within the portion of the creek to be relocated. The results of that survey are used as a baseline for comparison. Two monitoring stations in the mitigation channel were sampled in 2002 for aquatic macroinvertebrates and fish. Station 1 is located at the downstream end of the relocated segment of Bailey Creek, and Station 2 is at the upstream end just east of the stilling basin (Figure II -1). Sampling occurred at these two established sites on 19 February 2002 and on 16 July 2002. These were approximately the same two stations that have been monitored every year since 1997. Nine standing sweep net samples were conducted at each station and hand - sorted in the field. Collected individuals were preserved in 10 percent formalin. Additional specimens were collected from log washes and rubs as well as incidental captures. All collected macroinvertebrates were transferred to 95 percent denatured ethanol in the lab. Specimens were identified to the lowest reasonable taxa within each group, and groups were generally based on those identified by Brigham et al. (1982). The sampling methodology and reporting standards were based on those established by DWQ during sampling of Whitehurst Creek in February 1992. B. Fish Although no baseline sampling was required by DWQ as a condition of the 401 Certification, PCS Phosphate contracted CZR to conduct fish sampling in Bailey Creek during the summer of 1995. The sampling was done at two locations in Bailey Creek that were within the portion of the creek to be relocated. The results of that survey have been included in this report for comparison. During 2002, the above - described macroinvertebrate sampling stations were also sampled for fish. At each station, fish were sampled along a 600 -foot segment of channel using a backpack electroshocker. Four -foot white stakes with pink flagging are located along the channel at the beginning, middle, and end of each sampling segment. Collected specimens were identified, II -1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 _z J N a �z �o W/ Air \ ��a • ) z z_ ul U CL 0 Z a- aZ rn 0 Q Q� Or it -2 i r� 0 w .609. f z W y �G& • Z 3: LO LLJ Z Z~ m � c?

The total length was recorded for the first 20 individuals encountered for each species. All preserved specimens were transferred to 95 percent denatured ethanol after 48 hours and were identified in the CZR laboratory. Sampling was conducted at these stations on 19 February 2002 and 16 July 2002. Specimens were identified to species using Menhinick (1991). Total abundance and species richness were tabulated for each site. Several other metrics for fish communities can also be used to assess the biological integrity of streams. However, many of these metrics are not applicable to coastal plain streams due to the unique physical and chemical characteristics of these systems. Still, two metrics, percent tolerant individuals and percent piscivorous individuals (an indication of trophic complexity within the creek) have been found to be useful in assessing the biotic integrity of coastal plain streams (Paller et. al 1996; Scott and Hall 1997). These two metrics were also chosen because they have low redundancy, e.g., all tolerant fish are not also piscivores. Trophic classification and tolerance rankings (Tolerant, Moderately Tolerant, and Intolerant) were based on the NC IBI classifications developed by North Carolina Division of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) (NCDENR 2001). In order to assess changes in fish community structure over the entire monitoring period, a two way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed using year (1997 through 2002) and season (Winter and Summer) as factors. The response variables chosen were abundance, richness, percent tolerant species, and percent piscivores. Because only two individual fish were collected in the winter 1998 sample, that sample was not included in the statistical analysis of any response variable except abundance. If season or year were significant at the 5% level, a Tukey test was used to determine which factor levels were significantly different. C. Water Quality Monthly water quality sampling and analyses were conducted by the PCS Phosphate Environmental Affairs laboratory. Water quality samples were collected in the vicinity of aquatic sampling Stations 1 and 2. Water samples were analyzed for temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and pH while in the field, and for fluoride and total phosphorus in the laboratory. Water quality parameters (except for fluoride and phosphorus) were also taken near the lower end of Stations 1 and II -3 2 at the time of macroinvertebrate and fish sampling in February and July 2002. Additional information on conditions (i.e. substrate, water depth, flow, etc.) of the creek was estimated to characterize the monitoring stations during the time of sampling. Water quality data were examined with regard to how well each site provided habitat appropriate for the maintenance of fish communities. Particular attention was given to dissolved oxygen, as low DO levels are commonly implicated in fish kills. 1 1 L 1 II -4 0 u III -1 III. RESULTS A. Macroinvertebrates ' The conditions of tie site and observations of physical parameters collected during sampling are presented in Table 111 - -1. The February and July sampling both occurred during times of ' minimal or no water flow. A summary of macroinvertebrate taxa richness for 2002 is provided in Table III -2. The summary is presented by major taxonomic groupings, with insects divided into orders and ' other invertebrates divided into classes. A breakdown of macroinvertebrate taxa included within each of those groups along with abundance classes of the taxa within each sample is provided in Table III- ' documented in the 1995 and in the mitigation 3. Appendix A contains macroinvertebrate species survey channel since 1997. This appendix has been expanded in each subsequent year -end report as a cumulative record of documented taxa found in Bailey Creek by sampling year. The lack of water flow during both 2002 sampling periods did not allow for macrobenthic species to disperse over much area and may have affected the concentration of species and /or ' individuals in the sampling areas. Seventy -two macroinvertebrate taxa from 12 groups were identified from the Bailey Creek mitigation channel during 2002 (Table III -2), the sixth year after its construction. ' Twenty new taxa were identified for the first time in the mitigation channel. Fifty -one taxa from twelve groups were found during the winter collections and 48 taxa from ten groups were collected during the ' summer (Table III -3). Two taxa each were found from the Ephemeroptera and the Trichoptera, which resulted in an EPT taxa richness value of four. The 1995 summer baseline sampling identified 28 taxa twith an EPT taxa richness value of zero. To date, 15 of these 28 baseline taxa have been found in the mitigation channel (53.6 percent) for a total of 136 taxa identified since monitoring of the mitigation 1995 (Somatochiora eiongata and channel began in 1997. Two new taxa in common with the survey ' Ranatra nigra) and eleven species in common with the 1995 survey previously identified in the mitigation channel were found in 2002. Total taxa identified in Bailey Creek over the seven years of surveys since 1995 is 149 (Appendix A). The site was under construction in 1996. 0 u III -1 LI Table III -1.

Fish A summary of the 2002 fish surveys is presented in Table 111 -4. Thirteen species of fish were documented from the Bailey Creek mitigation channel during the seventh year after its construction. Ten species were found during the winter collection and 10 species were found during the summer collection. Eastern mosquitofish (Gambusia hoibrooki) and bluespotted sunfish (Enneacanthus gioriosus) were the most abundant species in the collections. One new species for the mitigation channel, redear sunfish (Lepomis microiophus), was collected during the 2002 survey. Table III -5 presents the fish community metrics for the summer and winter survey. Abundance and species richness were similar in both seasons, while the percentage of tolerant individuals was highest in the summer. The percentage of piscivorous fish was highest in the winter collection. Such seasonal changes in species composition could have been the result of summer water temperatures, which may have become so elevated as to provoke avoidance behavior in fish. For example, studies suggest that the preferred water temperature for centrarchids during the summer months is the upper 20° C range (Coutant 1977). During the same time of year, their critical thermal maximum is between 331 and 36° C (Coutant 1977, Schaefer et al. 1999), similar to the late summer water temperatures recorded during 2002 in Bailey Creek. Also, species commonly found in the summer samples included eastern mosquitofish, golden shiners, and brown bullhead, all of which have a high thermal tolerance (Coutant 1977). Furthermore, canopy cover in the mitigation channel is limited to the short undisturbed segment, consequently fish must leave the mitigation channel to move to shaded areas. However, canopy cover is expected to increase as the trees in the riparian zone mature. Appendix B contains a list of the 10 fish species collected in the 1995 summer survey in Bailey Creek and the 14 additional fish species collected in the mitigation channel since 1997. Only one [yellow bullhead (Ameiurus nataiis)] of the 10 fish species found at baseline has yet to be collected from the mitigation channel. C.

Only during the late summer and fall did DO levels fall below 5 mg /Q, the level recommended by the water quality guidelines of the NCDENR ( NCDENR 1996). The creek had dense algal mats during the warmer months of the year, which could have increased DO levels through photosynthesis during the daytime. Conductivity was highest during the summer and fall. Total phosphorous was variable throughout the year, as water column levels of nutrients are influenced by a number of factors including salinity, algal production, rainfall, and possibly runoff from farm fields upstream of the mitigation channel. Values for pH ranged from 6.1 on 4 March to 8.4 on 3 June 2002. Fluoride values ranged from 0.15 on 4 March to 0. 74 on 3 June 2002. r 1 1 III -12 IIV. SUMMARY AND DISCUSSION OF ALL SAMPLING YEARS (1995 -2002) ' A. Macroinvertebrates An analysis of the sampling data collected over the seven years of surveys (including the pre- disturbance 1995 baseline) yielded several interesting trends. There has been a general increase since baseline in the number of taxa belonging to the Oligochaeta, Odonata, Coleoptera, Diptera, and Mollusca. Members of Trichoptera and Ephemeroptera were not collected at baseline and did not appear ' until 1998 (second year after construction). At least one of these two groups has been represented every year since 1998 (Figure IV -1). The EPT taxa richness in the mitigation channel (summer and ' winter combined) has varied between two and four every year since 1998, whereas the baseline (summer only) EPT taxa richness was zero (Figure IV -1). ' Cumulative annual total macroinvertebrate taxa has continued to increase an diversify while the total number of taxa in common with baseline has changed very little (Figure IV -2). The l annual number of total taxa (Figure IV -3) increased from 1997 to 1999, was fairly steady between 1999 1 1 and 2001, then increased again from 2001 to 2002. Annual taxa in common with baseline also increased from 2001 to 2002. The number of new taxa encountered in the mitigation channel each year increased from 1997 to 1999 and then decreased from 1999 to 2002 (Figure IV -4). The number of baseline taxa recovered each year was seven in 1997, but was two or less from 1998 to 2002 (Figure 1V -4). It is possible that habitat differences between the original channel and the mitigation channel account for the absence of some baseline species. The original channel was deeply excavated and surrounded by mostly forested habitat; the mitigation channel is shallow and surrounded by marsh and shrubs. However, it is important to note that all of the baseline taxa yet to be documented from the mitigation channel were rare at the time of baseline collection, and habitat preferences for these species are highly variable. For example, Caecidotea spp. prefer erosional habitats with leaf packs, and Dubiraphia bivittata prefers moderate to strong current. These species may have favored the original channel. However, other baseline taxa that have not returned, such as Scirtes spp., occur along marsh edges and would seem likely to prefer the mitigation channel. Likewise, there also seems to be no clear relationship between habitat preferences of taxa that are common in the mitigation channel but were absent or poorly represented in the baseline survey. Such taxa include Baetis, Caenis, and Caiiibaetis IV -1 �f� 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Figure IV -1. 160 140 120 100 80 60 Z 40 20 0 Figure IV -2.

Benthic macroinvertebrates are often used as indicators of stream water quality. Certain species are intolerant of pollutants or stressors such as low dissolved oxygen, whereas other species are tolerant of these conditions. Biologists with the Ecosystems Analysis Unit of the Environmental Sciences Branch of DWQ have assigned tolerance values to benthic organisms based on their sensitivity to water quality. For freshwater organisms, tolerance values range from 0 (intolerant of poor water quality) to 10 (tolerant of poor water quality). Abundance of a benthic species found during a survey is also a parameter used as an indicator of stream quality. The Biotic Index (BI) for a stream segment can be determined through a calculation using tolerance value and abundance value. The BI is an average of the tolerance value of the taxa found in the stream, weighted by the abundance class of each taxon. Summer Bls have been similar to that found at baseline, with one year (1999) having a slightly higher BI and one year (2002) having a slightly lower BI (Figure IV -5). Winter Bls show a trend toward more intolerant taxa (lower Bls) during 1998 and 1999, only to climb back by 2001 to the BI of the more tolerant taxa found at summer baseline. Although it is unknown how a higher percentage of assigned tolerance values would affect the BI, it is worthy to note that only about 50 to 80 percent of the total taxa have been assigned tolerance values by DWQ (Figure IV -5, bars at bottom). The percent of total taxa with tolerance values greater than 7 has fluctuated in a narrow range throughout the monitoring period (around 75 percent, Figure IV -6). However, the percent of total taxa with tolerance values less than 5 increased from zero at baseline to a high of 21 percent in 1998. Taxa with tolerance values less than 5 decreased in sampling years 1999 to 2001, although they remained above baseline and first year mitigation channel (1997) values (Figure IV -6). Taxa with tolerance values less than 5 increased again in 2002. Y When the data are examined by sampling season and sampling station, the topogAhic and hydrologic differences between the eastern and western halves of the mitigation cha evident (Figure IV -7). The number of taxa collected from Station 1(eastern half), regardless of season, shows a steady upward trend with little perturbation, whereas taxa richness at Station 2 (the almost always flooded western half) shows more seasonal variability as well as annual variability. This variation may be partially attributable to the effects of varying flood levels on sampling efficiency.

B. Fish Analysis of all fish data collected over the seven years of surveys indicated that cumulative richness of fish species in the mitigation channel continued to increase through 2002, although less steeply than in the first two years post - construction. The cumulative number of species in common with baseline has held steady since 1999, with only one baseline species yet to be collected from the mitigation channel (Figure IV -9). When the fish survey data were examined by season and sampling station, a similar trend was apparent for Station 1, although 1998 deviated from the overall trend for both seasons. Station 2 appeared less variable for fish than for the benthic community, although summer numbers for this station through 2002 remained less than what was collected at baseline (Figure IV -10). Seasonally, species richness averaged over the two stations tended to be greater in the winter compared to the summer samples, but the difference was not significant (p= 0.069; Figure IV- 11). The average percentage of piscivorous fish was also greatest in winter samples, but again the difference was not significant (p =0.14; Figure IV -12). However, the average percentage of tolerant fish was significantly greater in the summer compared to winter (p= 0.005; Figure IV -13). The reason for such seasonal shifts in community structure are unknown. Major determinants of fish distribution such as D.O. levels, salinity, and water temperature were almost always within levels appropriate for the maintenance of freshwater fish communities. Seasonal movements of fish as well as seasonal differences in the use of the stilling basin located upstream of the sampling sites may account for the shifts in species composition, but such movements could not be characterized in this study. Results of the ANOVA analysis indicate that fish abundance was not related to sample year (p = 0.457); though abundance in 2001 and 2002 appeared to be greater compared to earlier years (Figure IV -14). Species richness (p= 0.083) was also unrelated to sample year. During the monitoring period, species richness increased substantially between 1997 and 1998, but it has fluctuated in subsequent years (Figure IV -11). However, the cumulative number of taxa recorded at Bailey Creek continues to rise. Also, a rapid period of recolonization followed by a leveling off in abundance and richness is expected, as similar trends in richness and abundance have been found in other constructed wetland and wetland restoration projects (Langston and Kent 1997, Shields et al. 1998; Hudy et al.

Figure IV -14 IV-10 t fl 1 1 2000). Species richness and evenness in streams is highly influenced by habitat complexity and the potential for species migration from other population pools. Habitat complexity in Bailey Creek should increase over time with temporal changes in riparian flora and channel morphology. Likewise, Bailey Creek has a large number of adjacent creeks from which to recruit new freshwater and estuarine fish. As for other community metrics, the percentage of piscivorous fish (Figure IV -12) and the percentage of tolerant fish (Figure IV -13) did not differ significantly from year to year (p=0.101 and p= 0.199, respectively). However, the proportion of piscivores in the 1998 to 2002 summer samples generally has been higher than the first -year mitigation channel (1997) sample, suggesting trophic complexity has increased within the stream. C. Water Quality Analysis of monthly water quality data collected by PCS from two locations in the mitigation channel show only an expected seasonal trend for temperature and dissolved oxygen. There are no other clear trends in the data, though there is much apparently random variation. It is important to note that hypoxic conditions are not common in Bailey Creek even during the summer months. The almost constantly flooded western half of the Bailey Creek mitigation area has a different hydrological regime and different vegetative characteristics that affect the collection of fish and benthos and may also affect water chemistry in ways that can not be quantified by this study.

Those survey data have been included as baseline taxa in this report. To show species diversity, all taxa found in the mitigation channel surveys have been identified to species if possible. Some taxa have been identified only to genus or family, either at baseline or during mitigation channel surveys. All mitigation channel taxa identified more specifically are shown indented beneath their genus or family. Taxa indented beneath baseline genera or baseline families are counted in common with baseline even though they appear in a different row in the appendix. When more than one taxon of a baseline taxon that was identified only to genus or family is documented in the mitigation channel, only one taxon is counted in common with baseline.

In December 1995, PCS Phosphate Company, Inc. (PCS Phosphate) submitted an application for a Section 401 Water Quality Certification to the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management [now the Division of Water Quality (DWQ)] to impact and relocate a portion ' of the channelized drainage of Bailey Creek as part of the PCS Phosphate mine advance. After receipt of state agency comments and subsequent revisions to the channel relocation design, DWQ issued the 401 Certification No. 951281 on 6 March 1996. The "Baseline and First Annual Report for the 4.8 Acres of Bottomland Hardwood Wetlands Creation on Bailey Creek, Beaufort County, North Carolina" ' contains copies of regulatory agency correspondence with PCS Phosphate regarding this certification (CZR Incorporated 1998). For further description of the design, construction, planting, soils, and monitoring plan and schedule, refer to the "As -built Report for the 4.8 Acres of Bottomland Hardwood ' Creation on Bailey Creek, Beaufort County, North Carolina" (CZR Incorporated 1997). Data from 1998 and monitoring is included in the second and third annual reports (CZR Incorporated 1999, 2000). Th' fou annual report summarizes data and information collected at the site during 2000. 1.2 Location. The site is located east of SR 1937 (Guilford Station Road), north of the Norfolk and Southern Railway track, and south of the mine utility depressurization canal, in Richland Township, Beaufort County, North Carolina. Figure 1 shows the location of the project area and Figure ' 2 is an aerial photograph of the site taken post- construction in December 1996, but prior to planting. 1.3 Goals of the Proiect. One goal of the project is for this modified section of Bailey Creek ' to continue to carry the stormwater runoff from adjacent agricultural areas south of Highway 33/306 and to also carry stormwater flow from the diversion channel that delivers stormwater runoff from the natural watershed area west of the existing mine. Another goal of the channel relocation design is to reintroduce a more natural sinuosity to the creek channel and to rehabilitate the stream function and values by widening its floodplain and planting bottomland hardwood species. 1.4 Success Criteria. The success of the project will be monitored according to the criteria set forth in the Monitoring Plan for the Bailey Creek Mitigation Channel, Beaufort County, North Carolina (PCS Phosphate 1996). Vegetative success will be achieved if, at the end of the fifth growing season (2001), tree density is at least 320 trees per acre and there are at least six species represented. ' Hydrological success will be achieved if the site exceeds a hydroperiod of 12.5 percent of the growing season under normal conditions. Partial hydrological success of portions of the site will be considered should the entire site not meet the wetland hydrology criterion. 2.0 METHODOLOGY ' 2.1 Hydrology. Groundwater in the Bailey Creek floodplain is being monitored with eight pairs of shallow monitoring wells and two semi - continuous monitors. A shallow monitoring well consists of an 18 -inch length of 1.25 -inch diameter PVC well screen (0.01 inch slot) coupled to a solid PVC riser ' that is 14 inches long and 1.25 inches in diameter. Each well was inserted into a 24 -inch deep hole so that approximately 8 inches of the riser extended above the ground. The texture, color, and depth of each soil horizon were described at each well location. Soil extracted from each hole was used to seal the hole around the well for wells designated 1A through 8A. The riser was fitted with a 1.25 -inch ' diameter removable PVC cap to prevent objects from entering the well. A small hole was drilled in the side of the riser to allow equalization of air pressure during water level fluctuations. ' The second well of each well pair (designated 1 B through 813) was installed with sand, bentonite, and grout (Sprecher 1993). The purpose of these wells was to detect perched water tables that may 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 iN � I z�` I 1 ■ �`-- -- j �III � r o Z \\ I� 5 ; Q / ui z i I I J • r t LL, ^ � m �"•• 0 • / # a u -.

Well locations are shown in Figure 3. The semi - continuous recorder being used is the WL -40 produced by Remote Data Systems. The WL -40 monitors water table fluctuations across a 40 -inch range using a capacitive sensitive probe. The probe is enclosed in a protective 3 -inch PVC well screen (0.01 inch well screen slots). Both measurements and data storage are microprocessor controlled. The microprocessor's electronic components and power supply (one D -cell alkaline battery) are enclosed within the weather -proof head portion of the unit. The weather -proof head features an infrared optical port that allows for wireless downloading of data to a hand -held Hewlett- Packard computer /calculator. The wrap- around memory of the WL -40, with a capacity of 510 data points, can be programmed to take water table readings at various intervals. The WL -40s were programmed to take a reading every 1.5 hours. Shallow monitoring wells were checked weekly during the early part of the growing season (March through May) and monthly for the remainder of the year. The WL -40s were downloaded at least monthly. The water table readings from the shallow monitoring wells were recorded on standardized data sheets. To aid in the analysis of hydrology data, monthly rainfall and temperature data were obtained from the weather station at the PCS Phosphate plant site, and monthly potential evapotranspiration (PET) was calculated using the Thornthwaite method (Dunne and Leopold 1978). Hydroperiod interpretations were based on the growing season as defined in the Beaufort County soil survey (Kirby 1995). Using the 28° F threshold and the 5- years -in -10 probability, the last freeze date in the spring is 13 March and the first freeze date in the fall is 25 November. Thus the growing season covers the 256 -day period from 14 March to 24 November, inclusive. ' 2.2 Vegetation. Sampling of the planted trees is used to monitor survival and growth on an annual basis. For 1997, the baseline year, sampling was conducted in May to compare with the results of fall sampling in November. Sampling occurred in the fall of 1998 and 1999 and was summarized in the 1998 and 1999 annual reports (CZR 1999, 2000). In this fourth year of monitoring, sampling ' occurred in November of 2000. Seedling and sapling species planted and sampled include primarily bald cypress (Taxodium distichum), green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), overcup oak (Quercus /grata), black gum (Nyssa sylvatica), swamp black gum (N. biflora), willow oak (Q. phe/ %s), water oak (Q. nigra), laurel oak (Q. laurifolia), swamp chestnut oak (Q. michauxii), cherrybark oak [Q. pagoda (Q. falcata var. pagodaefolia)], and river birch (Betula nigra). 2.2.1 Planted Tree Seedlings. Eight plots were established to sample tree seedlings in ' the vicinity of the eight paired wells (one plot at each of the paired well locations). The plots are each approximately 37 -feet square (0.03 acre) and result in sampled acreage (0.24 acre) consistent with guidance in the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE) Compensatory Hardwood Mitigation Guidelines ' (USACE 1996). A total of 105 seedlings were tagged and measured for root collar diameter and height in May 1997. Root collar diameter and height were measured again in the fall of 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, and will be measured once more in the fall of 2001. 2.2.2 Planted Tree Saplings. The balled and burlapped tree saplings were also tagged and sampled for diameter at breast height (DBH) and survival. Two hundred fifty saplings were tagged and measured at baseline. The entire population of six of the planted sapling species were tagged (black gum, willow oak, water oak, laurel oak, swamp chestnut oak, and river birch). The remaining two sapling species, green ash and bald cypress, had populations large enough to tag and measure a representative sample. Four sapling plots of varying size were established in the vicinity of the wells in the wettest planting zone to characterize survival and growth of green ash and bald cypress saplings. 4 MATCHUNE L i N v CL 5 -so- i -ee• .ee- W � r- O t _i o M g .Z °oar w :.i } � O Z 3 w 0- LL - 0 a U m U 4c 0 c w MOW °o Z 0 W Wpp a°nn Z� Oi o 0 0: OL Z O a g p = 0 z Z IL 0 r-, � W = O V ,^ ) � W T ~ 9L (� co N� 0 Z W MATCHUNE 0 W J O W n �3 J J i H m J J N O z z w w O o 0 00 43 Rl w 33 R � cn3 0 o w C O Z ° o� 0 Z W MATCHUNE 0 W J O n J H J J 3 3 z z w w o 0 00 Rl w 33 R � cn3 0 o w ° o� (nn V) w w Z � ,C -3o 0 wOa ' 2.2.3 General Vegetation Sampling. General vegetation of the site will be sampled to provide a description of the composition and structure of the overall vegetative community, which includes the naturally invading plant species on the creation area. General vegetation sampling will be conducted near the end of the 2001 growing season. Previous annual reports indicated that this sampling would occur at the end of the 1999 growing season, but it is more appropriate to conduct this sampling at the end of the five -year monitoring period. Vegetation data will be recorded for herb and shrub strata. According to the Corps manual, herbs are woody and nonwoody plants less than 3.2 feet in height, shrubs are woody plants ' with less than a 3.0 -inch DBH but greater than 3.2 feet in height, and trees are woody plants with a DBH greater than 3.0 inches regardless of height. Quantitative data will not be collected for the tree stratum as there are unlikely to be any trees greater than 3 inches in DBH at the end of the fifth growing season. The species and relative density of invading "trees" will be noted if present. Herbs will be sampled in 10.8- square -foot quadrats, one located randomly within 50 feet ' of each planted seedling plot. Areal coverages will be recorded for each species present in each quadrat. These data will be used to calculate average percent coverage and frequency of occurrence for each species encountered. ' Shrubs will be sampled using the line- intercept method (Smith 1980). A 100 -foot transect will be established by laying a tape measure in a straight line on the ground. Each transect will begin at a random point chosen for an herb quadrat.and will extend in a randomly chosen direction. Each ' plant that intercepts the vertical plane will be noted, along with the distance of transect intercepted. These data will be used to determine the frequency of occurrence and percent coverage of each species encountered. ' 2.2.4 Photographic Record. The location of fixed point photo stations where photographs are taken to provide visual documentation of vegetation changes on the site are shown in Figure 4. ' 3.0 RESULTS OF 2000 SAMPLING ' 3.1 Rainfall /Potential Evapotranspiration (PET). Monthly rainfall totals at PCS Phosphate for 2000 are displayed in Figure 5. Monthly averages were derived from data collected daily at PCS Phosphate between 1967 and 1999, inclusive. Complete weather data were not available for 1973 and 1974, so these years were not included in the averages. Deviations (in inches) from 32 -year average ' monthly totals were +0.48 in January; 0.00 in February; -0.92 in March; +2.60 in April; -0.72 in May; -0.84 in June; -1.17 in July; +4.44 in August; +1.90 in September; -3.21 in October; +0.10 in November; and -0.08 in December. Monthly rainfall less PET at PCS Phosphate for 2000 is shown in Figure 6. Deviations (in inches) from 32 -year averages were +0.58 in January; -0.16 in February; -1.33 in March; +2.87 in April; -1.36 ' in May; -1.16 in June; -0.58 in July; -4.74 in August; +2.10 in September; -3.13 in October; +0.43 in November; and +0.31 in December. The three -month rolling total rainfall for 2000 is displayed in Figure 7. The rolling total is the ' total amount of rainfall for the three -month period ending with the given month shown on the graph. For hydrological calculations, normal rainfall is defined as a three -month total within one standard deviation of the 32 -year average. Deviations in inches from 32 -year averages were -2.99 in January; -1.39 in February; -0.43 in March; + 1.68 in April; +0.96 in May; + 1.04 in June; -2.73 in July; +2.43 in August; + 6. 17 in September; + 3.14 in October; -1.21 in November; and -3.19 in December. Rainfall was below the normal range for January and December and all other months had normal rainfall. 6 MATCHUNE N U a MR 7 I I I I I i i I I I I I I r � I I I i I I I I I I I I I i M I � I I a J Z W= j O N y� 7 O Of Of O Z Z W 0 0 < j o `� w LO 0 ° o (� r� ac Q Z < m W O �; v z J LL m z 4 p ° °o Z O d. .Oy N V 0 v» n Q onn �S o og� O O d W CL 0 a =_ Z ILm 3 r, _ m � a.

The western half of the site continues to appear to store water longer than the eastern half, but 2000 hydroperiods in the eastern half were of longer duration than previous years. Seven of the eight well sites (well locations1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8) exhibited wetland hydrology during the growing season in 2000 (Table 1). Wells 1 A and 1 B experienced wetland hydrology at 89.9 and 100 percent of the growing season. Wells 2A and 2B had hydroperiods of 100 percent of the growing season, as did the WL -40 at well location 2. Wells 3A, and 3B experienced hydroperiods of 43.4 and 44.1 percent. Wells 4A and 4B experienced wetland hydrology of 59.4 percent. Well 5A had a hydroperiod of 25.8 percent and well 5B experienced a hydroperiod of 27.0 percent. Well 6A had a hydroperiod of 20.7 percent and well 6B experienced a hydroperiod of 19.1 percent. The WL40 at well location 6 experienced a wetland hydroperiod of 53.9 percent. This significant difference in hydroperiods among wells in such close proximity may be explained by the fact that the WL -40 is 20 inches deeper in the ground and reflects a soil moisture regime not apparent in the shallow wells. Previous years have not shown such a disparity in hydroperiods at this location. Analysis of the data from the WL -40 at location 6 indicates that is performing properly although it seems to display a high amplitude diurnal condensation signature. Well 8B had a hydroperiod of 19.5 percent. Wells 8A, 7A, and 7B experienced marginal wetland hydrology of 9.4 percent. Data gathered during 2000 are found in Appendices A and B. 3.3 Vegetation. 3.3.1 Planted Tree Seedlings. Planted seedlings in the tree plots and planted saplings were measured at the site on 15 November 2000. The dimensions and survival of sampled seedlings are shown by species in Table 2. A total of 105 seedlings were tagged and measured at baseline in 1997. One of these was unidentified to species and dead by fall 1997. Of these, 101 of the tagged trees were alive at baseline, indicating a survival rate of 96 percent between planting and baseline sampling. By fall of 2000, 49 seedlings were alive, lowering survival to 48.5 percent since baseline. The seedlings have experienced a decrease in survival since baseline, primarily due to excessive flooding in the western half of the floodplain. Among the planted seedlings, only willow oak is surviving at 100 percent. All tagged willow oaks are in the eastern half of the floodplain. Bald cypress and swamp chestnut oak appear robust and continue to survive at 75 percent. Seven of the 28 tagged bald cypress and all of the tagged swamp chestnut oaks are in the eastern half. Green ash is maintaining a survival rate of 50 percent at the fourth year of monitoring. Swamp black gum and laurel oak have suffered total mortality by the 2000 monitoring. The tagged trees of these two species were in the eastern half of the floodplain. Overall seedling dimensions have increased an average of about 48 inches in height and 1.34 inches in root collar diameter since baseline. The planted seedling root collar diameters for baseline and fall 2000 are shown by species in Figure 8. Only one water tupelo was alive at fall 2000 measurement, so no confidence limits for this species could be calculated. The one remaining seedlings of laurel oak and swamp black gum alive at the 1999 monitoring were dead in fall of 2000. Average root collar diameters have increased for all species from 0.30 inches at baseline 1997 to 1.64 inches by fall 2000. The planted seedling heights for baseline and fall 2000 are shown by species in Figure 9. Water tupelo continued to experience a decrease in height between baseline and fall 2000 sampling due to browsing and dieback. The remaining seedling species experienced height increases of several inches in most cases. The average height of all seedlings increased from 22.2 to 69.8 inches between baseline and fall 2000 measurement. 3.3.2 Planted Tree Saplings. Tree saplings were measured on 15 November 2000. Survival and DBH measurements for the saplings are found in Table 3. The 250 tagged saplings had a survival rate of 98.8 percent at the end of the first growing season (1997) and a 58.9 percent survival 11 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Table 1.

Laurel oak experienced a drop in survival in 2000 from 28.6 to 4.8 percent. Field notes in 1998 and 1999 indicated that the survival of many of the laurel oaks was questionable and that they were faring poorly. Only one of the trees tagged as laurel oak remains alive. Bald cypress had the highest survival rate of 82.5 percent. While the swamp black gum seedlings experienced total mortality, the black gum saplings have fared better, with a survival rate of 50.0 ' percent. Planted sapling DBH for baseline and fall sampling in 2000 is found in Figure 10. The saplings have experienced DBH increases ranging from 20.7 to 166.7 percent since baseline. Like the seedlings, the saplings in the western half of the floodplain also appeared more stressed than those in the eastern half (38.6 percent survival in the west and 81.4 percent survival in the east). Six saplings had stump- sprouted, but were too short to be measured for DBH during the fall 2000 sampling, but they have been included in the survival calculation. When tree sapling survival is examined by species in the two halves of the floodplain, willow oak had 18.2 percent survival in the western half and 81.8 percent survival in the eastern half. ' Water oak survival was 0.0 percent in the western half and 66.7 percent in the eastern half. River birch survival was 40 percent in the western half and 100 percent in the eastern half. Bald cypress had been preferentially predated by beavers, but many have stump- sprouted, with a survival rate of 78.6 percent in the western end and 93 percent in the eastern end. Green ash were also heavily gnawed by beavers ' and did not stump- sprout as frequently as bald cypress; survival is 37 percent in the west, compared to 100 percent in the east. ' The planting plan indicates that 25 black gum were planted, however, only 24 were found and tagged. The plan indicates that 25 laurel oaks and 40 willow oaks were distributed across the floodplain. Due to the similarity in appearance of willow oak and laurel oak saplings, four of the ' saplings that were tagged as willow oaks may be laurel oaks. To date, there are 44 trees tagged as willow oaks and 21 trees tagged as laurel oaks. 3.3.3 Photographic Record. Fall 2000 photographs were taken on November.

In general, compared to the eastern portion of the site, the western portion was wetter, had lower survival rates for planted hardwood species, and contained less coverage of herbaceous vegetation. Hydrology data gathered during 2000 are found in Appendices A and B. The longest hydroperiod for each well location is found in Table 1. Seven well locations (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8) had hydroperiods ' longer than 12.5 percent of the growing season during the period from the beginning of the growing season in March through the end of the growing season in November. Well 7 displayed a marginal wetland hydroperiod of 9.4 percent. ' Survival of the planted seedlings and saplings continues to decline. The seedling survival at the end of the fourth year of monitoring is 46.7 percent, a drop of 4.7 percent since fall 1999. The sapling survival in 2000 is 58.9 percent, a drop of 11.3 percent since fall 1999. Density of the seedlings has dropped to 204 trees per acre and the sapling density is 49 trees per acre. When combined for a total of 253 trees per acre, the density of the planted hardwood trees is below the minimum density success criteria of 320 trees per acre as required by the mitigation guidelines. The seedlings in plots in the ' western section had a survival rate of 16.3 percent compared to the seedlings in the eastern plots, which were surviving at 76.8 percent. The sapling survival shows the same disparity, with survival ranging from a low of 38.6 percent in the western half to 81.4 percent in the eastern portion of the floodplain. ' Previous monitoring reports have suggested remediation of the site be considered to reduce the storage capacity of the western half of the site and to increase storage capacity in the eastern half. ' Reduction of storage in the western half would increase survival of the remaining trees on that portion of the site. Water storage in the western half is mainly due to beaver activity. PCS Phosphate has stated that a concerted effort will be made at beaver control to reduce flooding in the western half. � i 19 REFERENCES CZR Incorporated. 1997.

The WL -40s were programmed to take a water level reading once every 1.5 hours, but for space reasons only one reading per day is displayed in the tables. Magnetic copies and printouts of all of the WL -40 readings are on file in the CZR- Wilmington office. On days when the shallow monitoring wells were not checked, ' the noon WL -40 reading is displayed in the tables. On days when the shallow monitoring wells were checked, the WL -40 reading displayed is the one closest to the time that the shallow monitoring wells were checked. The WL -40s are generally incapable of registering surface water ' depths of more than a few inches. During times when deep surface water was present, the readings from a particular WL -40 may not closely match the readings from the corresponding shallow monitoring well. ' 2) The rainfall column of each table gives daily rainfall totals from the weather station at the PCS Phosphate plant site. The rainfall amount for a given date is the total rainfall for the 24 -hour period ending at 0800 on that date. Because of the distance between the weather station and ' Bailey Creek (approximately 6 miles), rainfall amounts shown in the tables may not accurately reflect actual rainfall on at Bailey Creek for some localized rainfall events.
