Construction was completed in February 2015. The site is within the 03030001 Watershed Cataloging Unit (8 -digit HUC) and the Local Watershed Unit (14 -digit HUC) 03030001010010. In DMS' most recent publication of excluded and Targeted Local Watersheds/Hydrologic Units, the 03030001010010 14 -digit HUC has been identified as a Targeted Local Watershed. The project site, which is protected by an 11.9 -acre permanent conservation easement held by the State of North Carolina, is situated in Onslow County in the Carolina Flatwoods ecoregion of the Coastal Plains physiographic province. The site is located on a single parcel located off of Jesse Williams Road approximately five miles west of Richlands, North Carolina. The project goals and objectives are listed below. Project Goals • Protect and improve water quality by reducing sediment and nutrient inputs • The protection of a watershed draining into shellfish harvesting waters • Provide habitat for aquatic flora and fauna by improving physical structure and vegetative composition • Increase the local hydroperiod by encouraging both surface and subsurface storage and retention • Restore and establish a functional and diverse wetland community Project Objectives • Fill field ditches to restore surface flow retention and elevate local groundwater levels. • Redevelop longer wetland flow patterns to increase surface flow retention time. • Restore a diverse wetland vegetation community through maintenance and germination of existing wetland seed stores, planting of wetland trees and shrubs, and incorporation of a custom wetland seed mix. The BBRS provided mitigation for wetland impacts within Hydrologic Unit 03030001 by restoring 8.6 acres of wetland and preserving 1.9 acres of upland, generating 8.6 non -riparian wetland mitigation units (WMU's). The wetland site 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. The site will be monitored for at least seven years or until the success criteria are achieved. As designed, the western and southernmost ditches, located adjacent to the project easement were left open and not filled during construction. It is anticipated that leaving these ditches open will have minimal impacts to the overall hydrologic performance of the site. The hydrologic influence of these ditches was modeled using Lateral Effect, a software program that determines the lateral effect of a drainage ditch or borrow pit on adjacent wetland hydrology (NCSU BAE, 2011). This analysis determined that the potential horizontal drainage influence averages 85'. Due to the fact that these ditches cannot be filled because of the potential for hydrologic trespass, the area immediately adjacent to the ditch will not be a credit generating part of the site. It is assumed that with the onsite modifications, such as filling field ditches and surface roughening, the entire site will have more surface and groundwater storage, which may decrease the effect of the open ditches. For this reason, the non-credit generating portion of the site is assumed to be half of the zone of influence for the ditch. Bear Basin Restoration Site KCI Associates of NC, PA DMS Project # 95362 1 2016-MY02 2.0 MONITORING RESULTS 2.1 VEGETATION MONITORING The success criteria for the planted species in the mitigation area will be based on survival. The site will demonstrate the re-establishment of targeted vegetative communities through the survival and growth 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 seven years to be considered successful. To determine the success of the planted mitigation area, seven permanent vegetation monitoring plots (10 by 10 meters) have been established in the wetland restoration area at a density that represents the total mitigation acreage. The average density of these plots will determine whether the site meets the success criterion. The second -year vegetation monitoring was based on the Level 2 CVS-EEP vegetation monitoring protocol. The site's average density for this monitoring period was 769 planted stems/acre. All ten plots had greater than 320 planted stems/acre. Including volunteers, the site averaged 844 total stems/acre. In general the site is well vegetated, with widespread herbaceous coverage and healthy planted stems. %�► . 1 C 177CIZl';1'/1% CI)�I Y C17 7 WIN, Wetland hydrology will be monitored with a series of automatic gauges that record water table depth. The site must present continuous saturated or inundated hydrologic conditions for at least 8% of the growing season with a 50% probability of reoccurrence during normal weather conditions. A "normal" year is based on NRCS climatological data for Onslow County 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, April 2000." The growing season for Onslow County is considered to extend from March 18 to November 16 (243 days). The water table of the restored wetlands must be within 12" of the soil surface continuously for at least 8% (21 days) of the 243 -day growing season. Wetland hydrology will be monitored with twenty automatic gauges that record water table depth. Due to the inherent variability in the site's soils and associated drainage characteristics, it is unlikely that the project will exhibit uniform hydrologic conditions across the site, making a single hydrologic performance criterion unrepresentative of the site's performance. As such, the gauge data can be evaluated and presented as a spatial average with each gauge representing the area half the distance to adjacent gauges. The spatial average will be the calculated value for comparison with the performance standard for credit validation. Gauges representing areas not achieving a minimum of 6.5% saturation will be considered non - attaining even if the spatial average exceeds the credit validation performance standard. The wetland gauges will be checked and/or downloaded every other month. Daily data will be collected from the automatic gauges over the 7 -year monitoring period. To monitor the effect of the unfilled ditches described in Section 1.0, four sets of coupled gauges were installed perpendicular to the unfilled ditches. Each set includes a gauge that is 50' from the open ditch and another that is 80' from the ditch. An additional four gauges were installed between the coupled gauges to monitor hydrology less than 42.5' from the open ditch in the non-credit bearing zone. The daily rainfall data was obtained from a local weather station in Jacksonville, NC; provided by the NC State Climate Office. For the 2016 -year, the months of February, May, September, and October Bear Basin Restoration Site KCI Associates of NC, PA DMS Project # 95362 2 2016-MY02 experienced above average rainfall, while June and August experienced average rainfall. The months of January, March, April, July, and November recorded below average rainfall for the site. Overall, the area experienced average rainfall during the 2016 growing season. While rainfall over the entire growing season ended up to be average for Onslow County, the months of March and April, when many restored wetlands typically achieve successful hydrology were abnormally dry. This dry period is the primary reason why only nine out of twenty gauges achieved the hydrology success criteria at the site. Four of the gauges that did not achieve hydrology are just outside of the credit bearing zone. Of the other gauges that did not meet this criteria, all of them met in MY01, except for two. Additionally, a handful of gauges experienced a malfunction at the beginning of the growing season. Four of those gauges that were not successful this year (Gauges 10, 11, 12, and 14) appear to have data that closely matches a successful gauge from this year (Gauge 9). It is likely that without the malfunction those four gauges would have been successful as well. It's expected that site hydrology will return to high levels of success in the 2017 monitoring year. Since eight gauges in the restoration area were below 6.5% continuous saturation, these gauges were not used in the analysis to determine the spatial average for the hydrology of the entire site. This analysis is based off percent saturation contours for the restoration area calculated from the gauge data. Following the method described above and as illustrated in the figure in Appendix D, it is determined that based on the spatial average, the site was continuously saturated for 13.7% of the growing season and met the hydrology success criteria of 8% for the second year of monitoring. 3.0 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 July 5, 2016. 4.0 REFERENCES Lee, M.T., R.K. Peet, S.D. Roberts, and T.R. Wentworth. 2006.
