EEP Project 1194647 2014 -MY03
1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY / PROJECT ABSTRACT
The Buffalo Flats Restoration Site (BFRS) is a full - delivery project that was developed for the North
Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP). Construction was completed in October 2011. The site
is within the 03040105 Watershed Cataloging Unit (8 -digit HUC) and the Local Watershed Unit (14 -digit
HUC) 03040105020050. In EEP's most recent publication of excluded and Targeted Local
Watersheds /Hydrologic Units, this 14 -digit HUC has been identified as a Targeted Local Watershed.
The project goals and objectives are listed below.
Project Goals
• Create diverse bottomland hardwood and low elevation seep communities that are integrated into
the Dutch Buffalo Creek Corridor.
• Buffer nutrient and sediment impacts to Dutch Buffalo Creek from adjacent grazing practices.
Project Objectives
• Fill field ditches and ponds to slow the removal of hydrology from the site.
• Redevelop wetland microtopography to capture surface hydrology and slow subsurface drainage.
• Plant the mitigation area with species native to bottomland riparian forest and low elevation seep
communities.
• Install livestock exclusion fencing.
The project site, which is protected by a 20.2 -acre permanent conservation easement held by the State of
North Carolina, is situated in Cabarrus County in the Southern Outer Piedmont ecoregion of the Piedmont
physiographic province. The site is located on a single parcel located off of Gold Hill Road approximately
six miles northeast of Concord, North Carolina.
An additional 2.6 acre permanent conservation easement located adjacent and contiguous with the project
site is held by KCI Technologies and contains 1.6 acres of restored riparian wetlands. This site is
monitored as an additional, non - creditable component of the site that is available to make up for any
portions of the BFRS that do not achieve the target success criteria.
The BFRS provided mitigation for wetland impacts within Hydrologic Unit 03040105 by restoring,
preserving, and creating 20.2 acres of wetland, generating 11.6 riparian wetland mitigation units
(WMU's) and 3.4 non - riparian WMU's.
The BFRS will be monitored to determine if the project is on -track to meeting jurisdictional wetland
status. In the restoration areas, the wetland site will be deemed successful once hydrology is established
and vegetation success criteria are met. In the creation area, success will be achieved if wetland hydrology
and vegetation are present along with indicators of hydric soils.
1.1 Vegetation Success Criteria
The wetland mitigation is comprised of four areas that combine preservation, creation, and restoration.
The site will be monitored for at least seven years or until the success criteria are achieved. The success
criteria for the planted species in mitigation areas will be based on density measured from monitoring
plots. The site will demonstrate the re- establishment of targeted vegetative communities based on survival
of planted species and volunteer colonization, with an average stem density of 320 stems /acre after three
years, 288 stems /acre after four years, 260 stems /acre after five years, and 210 stems /acre after 7 years.
To determine the success of the planted mitigation area, thirteen permanent vegetation monitoring plots
Buffalo Flats Restoration Site 2 KCl Associates of NC, PA
EEP Project 9 94647 2014 -MY03
(10 by 10 meters) have been established in the wetland restoration and creation areas at a density that
statistically represents the total mitigation acreage. Three of these plots are located in Wetland Area 1,
nine of these plots are located in Wetland Area 2, and one plot is located in Wetland Area 3. The average
density of these plots will determine whether the site meets the success criterion. Non - target species must
not constitute more than 20% of the woody vegetation based on permanent monitoring plots.
The third -year vegetation monitoring was based on the Level 2 CVS -EEP vegetation monitoring protocol.
The site's average density for this monitoring period was 607 planted stems /acre. Twelve of the thirteen
plots had greater than 320 planted stems /acre. Including volunteers, the site averaged 1,806 total
stems /acre. The site received supplemental planting in January 2013. During the second -year vegetation
monitoring, some of the supplemental planted species may have been recorded as volunteers. During the
2014 monitoring season, KCI mapped the location of these species and recorded them as planted stems.
Additionally an extra vegetation monitoring plot was installed in an adjacent restored wetland, which is
described in Section 1.2. This vegetation plot was found to have a planted and total stem density of 1,052
total stems /acre.
1.2 Hydrology Success Criteria
Due to the inherent variability in the site's features and its geomorphic position, it is unlikely that the
project will homogeneously exhibit common hydrologic conditions across the site, making a single
hydrologic performance criterion unrepresentative of the sites performance. As such, the gauge data will
be evaluated as a spatial average with each gauge representing the area half the distance to adjacent
gauges or wetland type boundaries. The spatial average by wetland type will be the calculated value for
comparison with the performance standard for credit validation. Gauges not achieving a minimum of 5%
saturation will be considered non - attaining even if the spatial average exceeds the credit validation
performance standard (5% for non - riparian and 10% for riparian).
The water table of the restored wetlands must be within 12" of the soils surface continuously for at least
5% (12 days) in the non- riparian wetland area (3.4 acres) and 10% (25 days) in the riparian wetland area
(11.6 acres), (50% probability of reoccurrence) of the growing season during normal weather conditions.
A "normal" year is based on NRCS climatological data for Cabarrus County, and using the 30th to 70th
percentile thresholds as the range of normal, as documented in the USACE Technical Report "Accessing
and Using Meteorological Data to Evaluate Wetland Hydrology" (Sprecher, 2000).
The growing season for Cabarrus County extends from March 23 to November 11 for a total of 233 days
(NRCS 1995). An automatic recording gauge was installed on the site on May 23, 2013 to record the soil
temperature at 30 cm below the ground surface. If these data demonstrate the soil temperature is above
biological zero (43 °F) beyond the 233 day range, it can be used to document the extended growing season
(Skaggs, 2012). In the interest of being conservative, this data was used to define the beginning of the
growing season and the Cabarrus County Soil Survey was used to define the end of it. For 2014 this
resulted in a growing season of 249 days, beginning on March 8 and ending on November 11.
The daily rainfall data was obtained from a local weather station in Kannapolis, NC; provided by the NC
State Climate Office. For the 2014 -year, the months of March and April experienced above average
rainfall, while May, August, and November experienced average rainfall. The months of June, July,
September, and October recorded below average rainfall for the site. Overall, the area experienced below
average rainfall during the 2014 growing season.

EEP Project # 94647 2014 -MY03
In addition to the wetlands that have been monitored at this site so far, there is also a small 1.2 acre
riparian wetland that is contiguous to and was restored at the same time as this site. This additional
wetland area is within an adjacent 2.6 acre conservation easement held by KCI Technologies, but is not
included in the creditable assets for this site. One additional wetland gauge was installed in this restored
riparian wetland on March 20, 2014. This wetland will be monitored as an additional component of the
site that is not creditable, but is considered an ancillary benefit/feature of the site. During the site's third
growing season, all eight wells in the riparian areas met the success criterion of having saturated soil
conditions occurring within 12 inches of the ground surface for a minimum continuous period of 10% (23
days) of the growing season during average climatic conditions. All three wells in the non- riparian areas
met the success criterion of 5% (12 days) of the growing season. Additionally, the extra well met the
hydrology success criteria with 46 consecutive days of saturated soil conditions. Overall, wetland
hydrology was achieved at all eleven groundwater monitoring gauges in the riparian and non - riparian
restoration areas.
1.3 Soil Success Criteria
Beginning in Monitoring Year 2, soils were monitored within the 1.2 acre wetland creation area on site.
Two permanent monitoring plots were established adjacent to Well 6 and Well 7 and soil profiles will be
monitored yearly for evidence of the development of redoximorphic features by a licensed soil scientist.
Soil profiles will be compared from year to year and changes will be documented in the yearly monitoring
reports. Although several studies exist in the scientific literature that investigate temporal changes in soils
resulting from wetland creation projects, there are no studies that suggest that jurisdictional hydric soils
will develop under the appropriate hydrology conditions within the seven -year monitoring period. As
such, KCI will monitor the soils for changes in chroma, organic matter content and document other
indications that the soil is subject to low oxygen conditions. These indicators would include oxidized root
channels, concretions, mottles and other observations that suggest the soil is subject to low oxygen
conditions etc.
A detailed soils profile description was conducted at two permanent monitoring plots by a licensed soil
scientist (# 187) on July 14, 2014. Both soil plots met the hydric soil criteria with an indicator of redox
depressions (F8). Additionally, evidence that the seasonal high water table has continued to develop more
fully can be seen in the increased mottling present in the soil this year. No mottles were reported within
either soil profile during MY -02, but during the current year, mottles ranging from 5 —'20% of their
respective soil horizons were reported, especially within the upper 12 inches of the soil. This indicates the
continuation of anaerobic conditions in the soil caused by saturated conditions. See Appendix E for both
soil profile descriptions.
Summary information /data related to the occurrence of items such as beaver or encroachment and
statistics related to performance of various project and monitoring elements can be found in the tables and
figures in the report appendices. Narrative background and supporting information formerly found in
these reports can be found in the Baseline Monitoring Report and in the Mitigation Plan documents
available on the EEPs website. All raw data supporting the tables and figures in the appendices are
available from EEP upon request.
