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 3 KCI Associates of NC, PA EEP Project # 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 (43oF) 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. Buffalo Flats Restoration Site 4 KCI Associates of NC, PA 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. 2.0 METHODOLOGY The CVS-EEP protocol, Level 2 (http://cvs.bio.unc.edu/methods.htm) was used to collect vegetation data from the site. The vegetation monitoring was completed on June 23, 2014. Buffalo Flats Restoration Site 5 KCI Associates of NC, PA EEP Project # 94647 2014-MY03 3.0 REFERENCES Lee, M.T., R.K. Peet, S.D.
