1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY/PROJECT ABSTRACT
On behalf of the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP), Mid-
Atlantic Mitigation, LLC (MAM) with technical assistance from Environmental Services,
Inc. (ESI) restored 4.2 acres of riverine wetlands, enhanced 2.2 acres (there are additional
enhancement areas onsite not included in WMU calculation), and preserved
approximately 3 acres of wetlands on site not included in the WMU calculation. Grading
of the Reeds Creek Site was completed December 2006. Planting and seeding of the site
were completed in January 2007. Overall, the project will restore, enhance, and/or
preserve approximately 14.66 acres of forested and emergent wetlands and upland buffer,
of which 5.3 will be provided as riverine wetland mitigation units (WMUs) to the North
Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP).
The goals and objectives of the Reeds Creek Wetland Restoration Project (Reeds Project)
are to restore the hydrologic functions, the native vegetation of the degraded and drained
wetlands, flood retention and water quality functions within the Reeds Creek watershed
of the Catawba River Basin (HUC 03050101).
' Existing berms and spoil piles adjacent to Reeds Creek were graded down to a more
natural elevation and the other existing fill areas were removed. Native woody vegetation
has been established in this area. Jurisdictional wetlands were preserved in the semi-
permanently impounded area associated with Lake Norman. Jurisdictional wetlands were
enhanced and/or restored in the area south of Reeds Creek.

2.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND
2.1 LOCATION AND SETTING
The Reeds Project is a 14.66-acre tract located southwest of Mooresville, Iredell County,
North Carolina off of U.S. Highway 21, approximately 1.3 miles northeast of the U.S.
Highway 21 and Interstate 77 intersection (see Figure 1). The project site is located in
the Catawba River Watershed (USGS 8-digit Hydrologic Unit 03050101, and NCDWQ
River Basin 03-08-32). NCDWQ has assigned Reeds Creek within the project site the
Stream Index Number (SIN) of 11-104(2). The site is immediately adjacent to Lake
Norman and is characterized by a variable floodplain associated with Reeds Creek. The
site is currently owned by Mid-Atlantic Mitigation, LLC with the Conservation Easement
being held by the State of North Carolina.
2.2 STRUCTURE AND OBJECTIVES
The goals and objectives of the Reeds Creek Wetland Restoration Project are to restore
the hydrologic functions, the native vegetation of the degraded and drained wetlands,
flood retention and water quality functions within the Reeds Creek watershed of the
Catawba River Basin (HUC 03050101). A Project Location Map is provided in Figure 1.

Existing berms and spoil piles adjacent to Reeds Creek were graded down to a more
natural elevation and the other existing fill areas were removed. The material was graded
to the surrounding landscape to provide microtopographic complexity and woody
planting zones. These areas where the topography was enhanced will create diverse
habitats instead of the monotypical, flat lake fringe area that previously existed. Surface
hydrology will be reintroduced to the restoration areas via more frequent overbank
flooding from Reeds Creek. Native woody vegetation has been established in this area.
Jurisdictional wetlands were preserved in the semi-permanently impounded area
associated with Lake Norman. Jurisdictional wetlands were enhanced and/or restored in
the area south of Reeds Creek. Minor grading, adjacent to the wettest areas, was done to
expand the wetland hydrology and create microtopography within the contiguous
floodplain and wetland area.
The riparian wetland and buffer vegetation community will transition as the system seeks
its hydrologic and vegetative equilibrium. Sediments on site were initially unconsolidated
and mucky with saturation due to Lake Norman water level fluctuations. While water
level fluctuations are still anticipated, the areas and duration of inundation can only be
determined through post-construction observation and monitoring. It is anticipated that
settling and subsidence would occur throughout the initial growing season, first through
evaporation and then through transpiration as the herbaceous cover (seeded and natural
propagation) established. Areas that are not saturated/ponded (i.e. fringe areas and/or
microtopographic mounds) were planted with bare root seedlings to establish a
bottomland hardwood riparian wetland community. Additional plantings may be
necessary, as the site continues to consolidate and settle and inundation patterns are
determined.
In order to stabilize the newly constructed wetlands and flood plain areas, both temporary
and permanent grass seed were applied to all restored areas. The types of seeds used
were: Leersia oryzoides (Rice Cut grass); Panicum clandestinum (Deertongue grass);
Panicum virgatum (Switchgrass); Trisacum dactyloides (Gama grass), Juncus effusus
(soft rush) and Secale cereale (Annual rye). Three hardwood planting zones were
established as follows: Zone 1-Swamp Forest Zone, Zone 2- Bottomland Forest Zone,
and Zone 3-Levee Forest Zone. The location of each Zone is identified on the As-built
plan located in Attachment A. Approximately 400 stems per acre were planted
throughout the project. Livestakes were installed in some of the wetter areas but further
livestaking along Reeds Creek may be necessary as the new streambank/floodplain area
stabilizes with its associated wetlands.

Project was delayed 9 months due to issues with the Duke Power 760 Contour Lake
Easement for Lake Norman. These issues had been addressed prior to proposal
submittal, however Duke Power's merger with Cinergy created changes in
personnel and policy which required Mid-Atlantic to re-apply for these approvals.

At this time, no vegetative problem areas have been noted or invasive species problems.
The site has been stabilized and vegetated with native woody and herbaceous species
3.1.3 Stem Counts
The prevalent vegetation should consist of macrophytes that typically are adapted for life
in saturated soil conditions. These species should have the ability to grow, compete,
reproduce, and persist in anaerobic soil conditions. A maximum of 15% nuisance
vegetation in wetland areas with planted and volunteer vegetation will successfully
indicate establishment of native wetland vegetation. Study plots showing that the
composition and density of vegetation in the restoration areas compares closely to the
reference areas will indicate restoration success for vegetation. The initial success of
riparian and wetland vegetation will be evaluated based on herbaceous ground cover as
the site is stabilized in the initial growing season, as well as planted woody vegetation.
Stem counts of over 320 trees per acre after 3 years, and 260 trees per acre after 5 years
will be considered successful. Photos taken at established photo points should indicate
maturation of riparian vegetation community. Photographs will help to illustrate the
health of the planted vegetation and the severity of the invasive or exotic species that are
found within the site. Permanent vegetation sampling plots have been established at 2
random locations and sample each planting zone. The success of vegetation plantings
will be measured through stems counts. These plots will be used to sample both the
riparian buffer and restored wetlands. Each plot will cover 100 square meters for tree
counts. Within each plot, a 1 meter plot will be sampled to measure herbaceous
coverage. During the counts, the health of the vegetation will be noted. In addition to
stem counts, the samples will inventory species diversity to allow for comparison
between the reference and restoration wetlands and track the percent cover of nuisance
species. The vegetation survey will occur during the growing season. On July 23rd,
2008, the second year-vegetative monitoring was performed on the established vegetation
sampling plots.

3.1.4 Vegetation Assessment Summary
Vegetation success will be defined as tree survival to meet 320 stems per acre after 3
years and 260 stems per acre after 5 years inside the permanent vegetation sampling plots
and herbaceous cover evaluated with photos showing 75% coverage, after 5 years.
In general, the site was over planted to allow for mortality. The site as a whole shows an
average of 1100 planted stems per acre and demonstrates 71 percent survival of planted
species. The community is diverse and rich with healthy volunteers. Large numbers of
Cephalanthus occidentalis, Cornus amomum, and Salix nigra volunteers are present on site and
in plots.
The herbaceous cover plant community was monitored in a 1 m by 1 m square at one
corner of each plot. Each herbaceous quadrant showed at least 75% cover and were
actually at or close to 100%.

3.2 WETLAND ASSESSMENT
3.2.1 Wetland Criteria Attainment
There are three water level monitoring gages located on the Reeds Project. Gages
1 and 2 are located in the restoration area and Gage 3 is located in the enhancement area
in the same location as the pre-construction gage. There are both mature forested and
emergent areas of preservation which were not included in the WMU calculations
adjacent to the small unnamed tributary entering the site from the southeast corner and
flowing into the cove for the Huntington neighborhood. There is a 4th gage located in the
preservation/fringe area of the site to be used as an on site reference. The data will be
downloaded once a month throughout the monitoring period. A USGS rain gage located
on Lake Norman (Gage #35301408052495 CRN-42 Norman Shores) will be used to
monitor the amount of rainfall. This will be correlated with the ground water data. Lake
Norman lake levels will also be monitored if the site becomes inundated from high lake
levels. As stated in the Mitigation Plan, jurisdictional hydrology for the site will be
defined as saturation within the upper 12 inches of the surface of the soils for a period of
approximately 24 consecutive days during the growing season (239 days between March
and October) or approximately 10% of the growing season. The NC Cooperative
Extension Service actually lists the average growing season for Iredell County as 179
days. Therefore, in a year of average precipitation hydrological success for the Reeds
Creek site will be a minimum of 18 days.
Gage 1 achieved jurisdictional hydrology well before the onset of the growin?
season and maintained it throughout the season except for 20 days from August 7
through 26th. Gage 2 achieved jurisdictional hydrology well before the onset of the
growing season and maintained it for approximately 71 days into the season, but began to
fluctuate on May 25th, 2008. Gage 3, which is located in the enhancement area also
maintained jurisdictional hydrology from before the onset of the growing season and
approximately 126 days into the season and began to fluctuate on July 18th, 2008. The
reference gage followed the same pattern of increasing inundation leading up to the onset
of the growing season, but did not achieve prolonged jurisdictional conditions. This gage
did indicate 10 days of jurisdictional conditions from April 1St through 10th, 2008,
however given site conditions. The reference area is thickly vegetated, including a large
stand if mature Black Willows near the gage and is far removed from the inundation
effect of Lake Norman both of these factors could affect the hydrology of this gage.
Graphs showing water levels and corresponding rainfall data are located in Appendix C.
Based on the gage data for 2008, the site has achieved jurisdictional hydrology for the
second consecutive monitoring year.

3.2.2 Photo Reference Points
There are seven permanent photo reference points located throughout the Reeds
Project and will be included in each monitoring report. Two of the photo reference points
are located in the southwest corner of each vegetation plot and it will include two
photographs taken from each point; one showing the health of the vegetation plot and one
showing the 1 meter plot within the vegetation plot. All the Photographs will help to
illustrate the health of the planted vegetation, the surface water hydrology (e.g. standing
water). The Photo Log is located in Appendix B.
4.0 SITE SUCCESS ASSESSMENT SUMMARY
Overall, the adjacent Reeds Creek stream channel has developed and stabilized well after
the berm was lowered. The herbaceous vegetative cover has also developed a healthy and
diverse community. The planted trees and shrubs have also done very well and are
supplemented by a robust existing buffer community which provides seed source for
volunteers well suited to the current site conditions. Ground water gages demonstrate
favorable trends and jurisdictional wetland hydrology throughout the entire site.
Additionally, a local chapter of the North Carolina Wildlife Federation, the Lake Norman
Wildlife Conservationists has taken a special interest in the Reeds Creek project. The
group is working with Boy Scouts and other local volunteers to build and install wood
duck, barred owl, blue bird, and warbler nesting boxes on the site. A chimney swift tower
and basking logs for the turtle population are among the group's future projects. The

group regularly visits the site to pick up litter and prevent trespassing and vandalism. The
group and the site have received lots of positive press this year. A report on wildlife
usage of the site can be found at www.lakenormanwildlife.org/reeds creek.htm. Also,
the report and additional information the LNWC has shared with MAM is included in
