1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this restoration plan is to restore the hydrologic functions and native vegetation of
the degraded and drained wetlands within the Reeds Creek watershed of the Catawba River Basin
(HUC 03050101). The Reeds Creek Wetland Restoration Site will add a minimum of 5.3 rivcrine
wetland mitigation units (WMUs) to the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP).
The site is a consists of a portion of a +/-14.66-acre tract located southwest of Mooresville in
Iredell County, North Carolina on U.S. Highway 21, approximately 1.3 miles northeast of the U.S.
Highway 21 and Interstate 77 intersection. The site is immediately adjacent to Lake Norman and is
characterized by a variable floodplain associated with Reeds Creek.
The site is primarily in an un-forested condition and was recently being managed as a goat pasture.
However, limited forested lands do occur along the southern boundary of the site. The vegetation
at the project site is separated into four major groupings. These groups include forested wetland
1 habitat, herbaceous wetland habitat, shrubby wetland habitat, and an upland pocket.
The objective of the restoration plan is to restore the primary wetland functions and values
1 associated with nutrient removal and transformation, sediment retention, floodflow attenuation,
and wildlife habitat (aquatic and terrestrial). In particular, the site provides an opportunity to
restore and enhance a substantial riverine wetland zone on lands historically used as pasture. On
behalf of EarthMark Companies, Environmental Services, Inc. (ESI) is submitting a Pre-
Construction Notification application in accordance with Nationwide Permit (NWP) Number 27

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Reeds Creek Wetland Restoration Site is located southwest of Mooresville in 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 (Attachment A, Figures 1 and 2). The site is immediately adjacent to
Lake Norman and is characterized by a variable floodplain associated with Reeds Creek. The site
is located in the Catawba River Basin, US Geological Survey (USGS) hydrologic unit 03050101
and North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) sub-basin 03-08-32. NCDWQ has
assigned the portion of Reeds Creek within the project site a Stream Index Number (SIN) of 11-
104(2). Although the site is located in the Duke Power 760-foot Contour Easement, preliminary
approval has been received from Duke Power to perform minor grading and tree planting for the
proposed restoration project.
The Reeds Creek Wetland Restoration Site consists of the Reeds Creek channel and the adjacent
floodplain wetlands. These wetlands are degraded and drained because the lands were recently
being managed as goat pasture. This site provides an opportunity to restore and enhance a
substantial riverine wetland zone by restoring the primary wetland functions and values associated
with nutrient removal and transformation, sediment retention, floodflow attenuation, and wildlife
habitat (both aquatic and terrestrial).
On behalf of EarthMark Companies, Environmental Services, Inc. (ESI) is submitting a Pre-
Construction Notification application in accordance with Nationwide Permit (NWP) Number 27
(Attachment B).
2.0 CURRENT LAND USE
The primary land use within the project area is pastureland; however limited forested lands occur
along the southern boundary. The upland habitat appears to have included historic areas of wetland
habitat that have since been drained and no longer provide wetland functions. The surrounding
vicinity consists primarily of residential land use.
2.1 VEGETATIVE COMMUNITIES
The vegetation within project site is separated into four major groupings that are primarily
influenced by topographical position and current land use.
1 2.1.1 Forested Wetland Habitat

'J
L'
The first vegetative grouping covers the area in the southeastern corner of the project site. This
forested area is dominated by river birch (Betula nigra), American sycamore (Platanus
occidentalis), green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), red maple (Ater rubrum), tag alder (Alnus
serrulata), and Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense).
2.1.2 Herbaceous Wetland Habitat
The second vegetative grouping covers the bulk of the property and consists of a sporadic covering
of herbaceous species including soft rush (Juncus effusus), bluestem (Andropogon sp.), goldenrod
(Solidago sp.), and ludwigia (Ludtivigia peploides var. peploides).

2.1.3 Shrubby `Vctland Habitat
The third vegetative grouping is situated along the banks of Reeds Creek. This area is associated
with the berm and is comprised of shrubby vegetation. Dominant species are tag alder, black
willow (Salix nigra), and river birch (Betula nigra).
2.1.4 Upland Habitat
The fourth vegetative grouping is adjacent to U.S. Highway 21 on an upland pocket. This area is
dominated by pines (Pinus spp.) and successional roadside vegetation including Japanese
honeysuckle (Lonicerajaponica), multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora), and greenbrier (Smilax spp.).
3.0 SOILS
Based on the Soil Survey of Iredell County (USDA, 1964), Chewacla (ChA) and mixed alluvial
soils dominate the floodplain area (Attachment A, Figure 3). These soils are somewhat poorly
drained, and were formed in recent alluvium on nearly level floodplains along streams that drain
from the Mountains and Piedmont physiographic provinces. Slopes range from 0 to 2 percent.
Chewacla soils are noted as Class B Hydric Soils because they contain inclusions of Wehadkee
soils (Class A Hydric Soils) in areas that are flooded for long periods of time and exhibit anaerobic
conditions. Although the soils are predominately Chewacla, soil scientists have identified that the
hydric Wehadkee inclusions are the basis of the soils within the restoration area. These inclusions
will be verified by a NRCS or licensed State soil scientist if required.
4.0 JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION
The results of the on-site field investigation conducted by Environmental Services, Inc. (ESI)
indicate that there are three jurisdictional stream channels within the subject property that include
Reeds Creek (approximately 1,135 linear feet) and two UT's to Lake Norman, all transecting the
site in a westerly direction (Attachment A, Figure 2). However, the two UT's are outside of the
mitigation area and are not considered part of the project. Onsite jurisdictional wetlands exist in
portions of the Reeds Creek floodplain. Based on the site reconnaissance, wetlands exist and
become more abundant within the central portion of the project site, as the site grades into Lake
Norman. The area of current jurisdiction generally follows the ordinary high water mark of the
lake (elevation 760 feet). Representative photographs depicting the streams and on-site conditions
are included as Attachment C.
5.0 AGENCY CORRESPONDENCE
5.1 PROTECTED SPECIES
According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) there is one federally threatened species,
due to similarity of appearance, and three federal species of concern that could occur in Iredell
County, North Carolina. Federal species of concern are not afforded federal protection under the
Endangered Species Act and are not subject to any of the provisions, including Section 7, until
they are formally listed or proposed as threatened or endangered. A clearance letter from FWS'
3
L

was not issued for the site because there are no federally threatened or endangered species within
Iredell County and Species of Concern are not protected under the Endangered Species Act.
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) identifies one state endangered species,
the littleleaf sneezeweed (Heleniun: brevifoliuni), one state threatened species, the coneshaped
sedge (Carex cinoidea), and two state species of special concern including the loggerhead shrike
(Lani ludovicianus) and highfin carpsucker (Carpoides velifer), that could occur in Iredell County,
North Carolina. A review of the NCNHP database of documented occurrences showed no
protected species within 0.5 mile of the project site. Further, no suitable habitat for these species
was identified onsite. A North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission concurrence letter is
attached as Attachment D.
5.2 CULTURAL RESOURCES
A review of properties to be determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places at the
State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) was conducted for the project site and surrounding
areas. According to the files, there are no National Register properties within a one-mile radius of
the project site. In addition, the SHPO Archaeological Section was contacted to determine if
documented archaeological sites occur at or near the project area. No sites were identified within a
one-mile radius of the project site. SHPO concurrence has been obtained and is documented in
Attachment E.
6.0 PROJECT PURPOSE AND NEED
The purpose of this project is to restore the primary wetland functions and values associated with
nutrient removal and transformation, sediment retention, floodflow attenuation, and wildlife (both
aquatic and terrestrial) habitat. Wetlands onsite will be restored by returning natural flooding
hydrology and native, forested plant communities. These activities are being performed to provide
the EEP with approximately 5.3 Wetland Mitigation Units (WMUs). Approximately 6.5 acres of
existing wetlands occur within the project boundary. These wetlands will be enhanced or
preserved along with the 4.2 acres of restoration to create a natural ecosystem.
7.0 AVOIDANCE AND MINIMIZATION
Impacts to on-site jurisdictional areas have been minimized to the maximum extent practicable.
Ultimately, this project will improve the overall function, habitat, and integrity of the Reeds Creek
channel and the adjacent floodplain wetlands.
8.0 MITIGATION
The Reeds Creek Wetland Restoration Site consists of the Reeds Creek channel and the adjacent
floodplain wetlands. These wetlands are degraded and drained because the lands were recently
being managed as goat pasture. This site provides an opportunity to restore and enhance a
substantial riverine wetland zone by restoring the primary wetland functions and values associated
with nutrient removal and transformation, sediment retention, floodflow attenuation, and wildlife
habitat (both aquatic and terrestrial). The construction sheets are attached as Attachment F.

?J
As a part of this restoration plan, historic wetlands will be restored and jurisdictional wetlands will
be enhanced and/or preserved. The existing berms and spoil piles adjacent to Reeds Creek will be
graded down to a more natural elevation and the other existing fill areas will be removed and the
material graded to the surrounding landscape to provide microtopographic complexity. These
areas where the topography is to be enhanced will create diverse habitats instead of the
monotypical lake fringe habitat that currently exists in these areas. Surface hydrology will be
reintroduced to the restoration areas via more frequent overbank flooding from Reed's Creek.
Native woody vegetation will also be established in this area.
Jurisdictional wetlands will be preserved in the permanently impounded area associated with Lake
Norman. Jurisdictional wetlands will be enhanced and/or restored in the area south of Reeds
Creek. This will include establishing native woody vegetation, removing invasive and non-native
vegetation, and slight hydrologic alterations. Minor grading adjacent to the wettest areas will be
used to expand the wetland hydrology and create microtopography within the contiguous
floodplain and wetland area.
8.1 PLANTING PLAN
Plantings for the site will be based on reference wetlands and focus on species that will enhance
native wildlife habitat. The planting plan follows the guidelines provided by the Department of
Natural Resources (Smith, 1998).
The planting plan will be divided into three zones that include the Swamp Bottomland Forest Zone, and the Levee Forest Zone. The location of each Zone Forest
identified the
the Construction Plan Sheets (Attachment F, Sheet 3). Approximately 400 stems per acre will be
planted. The proposed candidate species and associated wetland indicator status are summarized in
Table 1. The exact number and species planted onsite will depend upon availability during
construction but will be based on nearby reference areas.

8.2 MONITORING METHODOLGY AND REPORTING
Monitoring of the Reeds Creek Wetland Restoration Site will be performed until success criteria
are met as defined in the restoration plans and the ACOE permit. Monitoring is proposed for
hydrology and vegetation parameters in accordance with the ACOE Compensatory Hardwood
Mitigation Guidelines (1993) and in coordination with the EEP. Results will be documented on an
annual basis and associated reports will be submitted to the EEP by December of each year.
Monitoring of wetland mitigation efforts will be conducted for a minimum of five years or until
success criteria are met. This plan will consist of a comparison between hydrology model
predictions and regulatory wetland criteria and supplemented by data from the reference wetlands.
Wetland monitoring will entail assessment of two primary parameters including hydrology and
vegetation. The success criteria for these parameters have been detailed in Section 8.0 above.
8.2.1 Methodology
Shallow, groundwater monitoring gauges will be installed within each vegetative zone to measure
the water table levels at different landscape positions. An additional gauge will be reinstalled in
the enhancement area after construction and at least one gauge will be installed in the reference
wetland(s). Surface water may be mapped, recorded, and used to assess hydrologic success in
addition to the sub-surface monitoring gauges.
Groundwater monitoring within the restoration area and the onsite reference wetland(s) will be
accomplished by utilizing Infinity and/or Remote Data Systems, Inc. automated groundwater
gauges or acceptable equivalents. These automated groundwater gauges will continuously record
water level data along a 24-inch gradient. The groundwater monitoring gauges will be installed in
accordance with specifications provided in the ACOE Installing Monitoring Wells/Piezonteters in
Wetlands (WRP Technical Note HY-IA-3.1, 1993).
Vegetative monitoring stations will also be installed within each vegetative zone. Sampling
stations will be approximately 2,500 square feet, 50-foot by 50-foot, plots. A permanent
photographic station will be established within each plot to document the overall appearance of the
vegetative zones.
The location of the monitoring gauges, vegetative monitoring stations, and photographic stations
will be depicted graphically for reference purposes.
8.2.2 Monitoring Reports
All monitoring reports will be submitted to the EEP's designated representative on an annual basis
for coordination with the appropriate regulatory agencies. Reports will be submitted each
December unless a different submittal date is requested. The year of initial construction will
require two submittals, including 1) As-Built Drawings and 2) the First Annual Monitoring Report.
It is assumed that the EEP will coordinate any monitoring report submittals with the other
regulatory agencies.
If monitoring reports indicate any deficiencies in achieving the success criteria, a remedial action
plan will be drafted and submitted for approval.

III. Project Information
Attach a vicinity map clearly showing the location of the property with respect to local
landmarks such as towns, rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property
boundaries and development plans in relation to surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map
and site plan must include a scale and north arrow. The specific footprints of all buildings,
impervious surfaces, or other facilities must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should
include the appropriate USGS Topographic Quad Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property
1 boundaries outlined. Plan drawings, or other maps may be included at the applicant's discretion,
so long as the property is clearly defined. For administrative and distribution purposes, the
USACE requires information to be submitted on sheets no larger than 11 by 17-inch format;
however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. DWQ prefers full-size construction
drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans. If full-size plans are
reduced to a small scale such that the final version is illegible, the applicant will be informed that
the project has been placed on hold until decipherable maps are provided.
1. Name of project: Reeds Creek Wetland Restoration Site
2. T.I.P. Project Number or State Project Number (NCDOT Only): N/A
3. Property Identification Number (Tax PIN): 4656074092.000
1 4. Location
County: Iredell Nearest Town: Mooresville
Subdivision name (include phase/lot number): N/A
Directions to site (include road numbers, landmarks, etc.): From I-77 North, take exit 33 and
head east on U.S. Highway 21 towards Mooresville. Site is located on the west side on U.S.
Highway 21, at approximately 1.3 mile.
Site coordinates, if available (UTM or Lat/Long): 35° 34' 08"N, 80° 50' 48"W
(Note - If project is linear, such as a road or utility line, attach a sheet that separately lists the
coordinates for each crossing of a distinct waterbody.)
5. Property size (acres): +/-14.66 acres (project area--+/-10.7 acres)
6. Nearest body of water (stream/river/sound/ocean/lake): Reeds Creek
7. River Basin: Catawba (HU# 03050101) (NCDWQ: 03-08-32) SIN#: 11-104-2)
(Note - this must be one of North Carolina's seventeen designated major river basins. The
River Basin map is available at http://112o.enr.state.ne.us/admin/maps/.)
8. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project
at the time of this application: The primary land use within the project area is pastureland,
however limited forested lands occur along the southern boundary. The surrounding vicinity
t consists primarily of residential land use. The vegetation within project site is separated into
four major groupings that are primarily influenced by topographical position and current land
use. These arounines include forested wetland habitat, herbaceous wetland habitat, shrubby

wetland habitat and upland habitat. The upland habitat appears to have included historic
areas of wetland habitat that have since been drained and no longer provide wetland
functions.
9. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: As a part
of this restoration plan historic wetlands will be restored and jurisdictional wetlands will be
enhanced and/or preserved. The existing; berms and spoil piles adjacent to Reeds Creek will
be graded down to a more natural elevation and the other existing fill areas will be removed
and the material graded to the surrounding landscape to provide microtopographic
complexity. These areas where the topography is to be enhanced will create diverse habitats
instead of the monotypical lake fringe habitat that currently exists in these areas. Surface
hydrology will be reintroduced to the restoration areas via more frequent overbank flooding
from Reeds Creek. Native woody vegetation will also be established in this area.
Jurisdictional wetlands will be preserved in the permanently impounded area associated with
Lake Norman. Jurisdictional wetlands will be enhanced and/or restored in the area south of
Reeds Creek. This will include establishing native wood}ve€Tetation, removing invasive and
non-native vegetation, and slight hydrologic alterations. Minor grading adjacent to the
wettest areas will be used to expand the wetland hydrology and create microtopography
within the contiguous floodplain and wetland area. A trackhoe, in addition to other typical
excavation equipment will be used for this project.
10. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: The purpose of the Reeds Creek Wetland
Restoration Site are to create flood retention and water quality functions, restore natural
flooding hydrology of the site and restore native, forested wetland plant communities.
1 IV. Prior Project History
If jurisdictional determinations and/or permits have been requested and/or obtained for this
project (including all prior phases of the same subdivision) in the past, please explain. Include
the USACE Action ID Number, DWQ Project Number, application date, and date permits and
certifications were issued or withdrawn. Provide photocopies of previously issued permits,
certifications or other useful information. Describe previously approved wetland, stream and
buffer impacts, along with associated mitigation (where applicable). If this is a NCDOT project,
list and describe permits issued for prior segments of the same T.I.P. project, along with
construction schedules.

1 VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
' Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
' site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
Impacts to on-site jurisdictional areas have been minimized to the maximum extent practicable.
Ultimately, this project will improve the overall function, habitat, and integrity of the Reeds
Creek channel and adjacent floodplain wetlands.
VIII. Mitigation
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
' a separate sheet if more space is needed. The Reeds Creek Wetland Restoration Site is
expected to yield a minimum of 5.3 riverine wetland mitigation units (WMUs).

In addition to the WMUs referenced above the site is also expected to generate another 1.6
acres of wetland enhancement and 2.7 acres of preservation. These acreages are not factored
into the WMU equation because of the 75% wetland restoration requirement for mitigation
sites. These additional acres however, will be considered the property of EEP. The success
of the Reed's Creek Wetland Restoration Site is anticipated to encourage native plant species
recruitment and provide wetland-dependant wildlife with suitable habitat. Further, this site
provides an opportunity to restore and enhance a substantial riverine wetland zone on lands
historically used as pasture.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at 11ttp://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state) funds or the use of public
(federaUstate) land?
Yes 2 No ?
If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.

X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
U_
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.

Mr. Paul Petitgout, VP
Environmental Services, Inc.

Charlotte, North Carolina 28273
RE: Reeds Creek Wetlands Restoration Site Environmental Screening, Iredell County
Dear Mr. Petitgout:
This correspondence is in response to your letter of September 28, 2005 concerning the
referenced wetland restoration site. You requested that we review these sites to determine
potential impacts to natural resources in the area, including threatened and endangered species.
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) is authorized to continent and
make recommendations which relate to the impacts of this project on fish and wildlife through
the Federal License of Water Resource Project Act (Federal Power Act-16 U.S.C. 791a et seq.),
and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d).
The Reeds Creek site covers 16.7 acres near Davidson, North Carolina. Wetland restoration is
proposed for 4.2 acres and wetland enhancement is proposed for 2.2 acres. This project is being
proposed as a full delivery project to the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program
(EEP). Our animal species in-office review of the project map provided did not find any areas of
critical habitats or wilderness or wildlife areas. We did not find that any animal species were
indicated for the site on Reeds Creek. We did find that the Highfin carpsucker, Carpiodes velifer
(NCSC) was known west of the site and that the Bog turtle, Glyptemys muhlenbergii (NCT, FT
S/A) was known to the south. A population of the Star-nosed mole, Corylura cristata (NCSC) is
known for the county.
® Since this is a wetland restoration site, consideration for providing suitable habitats for the Bog
turtle and other wetland animal species should be considered. Project Bog Turtle should be
contacted through the North Carolina Museum of Natural History in Raleigh if this is a

Subject: Reeds Creeek Wetland Restoration Plan
Catawba River Basin - Cataloging Unit 03050101
1 Iredell County
Contract # D05016-3
Dear Mr. Mogensen:
In March 2006, Mid-Atlantic Mitigation, LLC submitted the subject Restoration Plan for
1 the Reeds Creek Wetland Restoration Full Delivery Project. The project is located immediately
adjacent to Lake Norman, near Mooresville in Iredell County. The Restoration Plan proposes to
provide 5.3 Riverine Wetland Mitigation Units (WMUs) by:
1. Restoration of 4.2 acres of riverine wetland by removal of an artificial berm along the
banks of Reeds Creek; and
® 2. Enhancing 2.2 acres of riverine wetland.
Additional WMUs may be generated as a result of this project, but Mid-Atlantic, LLC
has no contractual obligation for any WMUs in excess of the contracted 5.3 Riverine WMU's.
Based on our review, the following comments are submitted:
1 1. EEP agrees that the currently unvegetated area of the project within the mean
high water level of Lake Norman (approximately 2.2 acres) can be enhanced
through the establishment of a permanent woody vegetation community. As
we discussed, Mid-Atlantic, LLC must document pre-construction and post-
construction conditions to demonstrate improvements to aquatic functions
1 (habitiat, fish spawning, etc.) resulting from wetland enhancement. Based on
our discussion, significant pre-construction data has already been collected.
2. EEP agrees that the area(s) located above the mean high water level of Lake
Norman can be restored provided that wetland soils are present and that
overbank flooding of this area can be re-established by the removal of the spoil
berm adjacent the bank of Reeds Creek. Please be advised that, as a general
rule, wetland restoration must occur on HYDRIC A soils. The restoration plan

indicates that the project area is mapped as Chewacla soils (Hydric B) due to
inclusions of Wehadkee (Hydric A), but based on your site characterization, the
site is primarily Wehadkee soils. Due to the controversial nature of restoring
Hydric B soils, it may be prudent to verify (by NRCS or a licensed soil
scientist) that the Hydric A Wehadkee soils are predominant in the proposed
wetland restoration area.
Please proceed with acquiring all necessary permits and/or certifications and complete
the implementation of the earthwork portion of the mitigation project (Task 4).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this restoration plan is to restore the hydrologic functions and native vegetation of
the degraded and drained wetlands within the Reeds Creek watershed of the Catawba River Basin
(HUC 03050101). The Reeds Creek Wetland Restoration Site will add a minimum of 5.3 riverine
wetland mitigation units (WMUs) to the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP).
The site is a consists of a portion of a +/-14.66-acre tract located southwest of Mooresville in
Iredell County, North Carolina on U.S. Highway 21, approximately 1.3 miles northeast of the U.S.
Highway 21 and Interstate 77 intersection. The site is immediately adjacent to Lake Norman and is
characterized by a variable floodplain associated with Reeds Creek.
The site is primarily in an un-forested condition and was recently being managed as a goat pasture.
However, limited forested lands do occur along the southern boundary of the site. The vegetation
at the project site is separated into four major groupings. These groups include forested wetland
habitat, herbaceous wetland habitat, shrubby wetland habitat, and an upland pocket.
The objective of the restoration plan is to restore the primary wetland functions and values
associated with nutrient removal and transformation, sediment retention, floodflow attenuation,
and wildlife habitat (aquatic and terrestrial). In particular, the site provides an opportunity to
restore and enhance a substantial riverine wetland zone on lands historically used as pasture. On
behalf of EarthMark Companies, Environmental Services, Inc. (ESI) is submitting a Pre-
Construction Notification application in accordance with Nationwide Permit (NWP) Number 27

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Reeds Creek Wetland Restoration Site is located southwest of Mooresville in 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 (Attachment A, Figures 1 and 2). The site is immediately adjacent to
Lake Norman and is characterized by a variable floodplain associated with Reeds Creek. The site
is located in the Catawba River Basin, US Geological Survey (USGS) hydrologic unit 03050101
and North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) sub-basin 03-08-32. NCDWQ has
assigned the portion of Reeds Creek within the project site a Stream Index Number (SIN) of 11-
104(2). Although the site is located in the Duke Power 760-foot Contour Easement, preliminary
approval has been received from Duke Power to perform minor grading and tree planting for the
proposed restoration project.
The Reeds Creek Wetland Restoration Site consists of the Reeds Creek channel and the adjacent
floodplain wetlands. These wetlands are degraded and drained because the lands were recently
being managed as goat pasture. This site provides an opportunity to restore and enhance a
substantial riverine wetland zone by restoring the primary wetland functions and values associated
with nutrient removal and transformation, sediment retention, floodflow attenuation, and wildlife
habitat (both aquatic and terrestrial).
On behalf of EarthMark Companies, Environmental Services, Inc. (ESI) is submitting a Pre-
Construction Notification application in accordance with Nationwide Permit (NWP) Number 27
(Attachment B).
2.0 CURRENT LAND USE
The primary land use within the project area is pastureland; however limited forested lands occur
1 along the southern boundary. The upland habitat appears to have included historic areas of wetland
habitat that have since been drained and no longer provide wetland functions. The surrounding
vicinity consists primarily of residential land use.
2.1 VEGETATIVE COMMUNITIES
The vegetation within project site is separated into four major groupings that are primarily
influenced by topographical position and current land use.
1 2.1.1 Forested Wetland Habitat
n
L
r
fl
The first vegetative grouping covers the area in the southeastern corner of the project site. This
forested area is dominated by river birch (Betula nigra), American sycamore (Platanus
occidentalis), green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), red maple (Ater rubrum), tag alder (Alnus
serrulata), and Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense).
2.1.2 Herbaceous Wetland Habitat
The second vegetative grouping covers the bulk of the property and consists of a sporadic covering
of herbaceous species including soft rush (Juncus effusus), bluestem (Andropogon sp.), goldenrod
(Solidago sp.), and ludwigia (Ludtivigia peploides var. peploides).
2
u
2.1.3 Shrubby Wetland Habitat
The third vegetative grouping is situated along the banks of Reeds Creek. This area is associated
with the berm and is comprised of shrubby vegetation. Dominant species are tag alder, black
willow (Salix nigra), and river birch (Betula nigra).
2.1.4 Upland Habitat
The fourth vegetative grouping is adjacent to U.S. Highway 21 on an upland pocket. This area is
dominated by pines (Pinus spp.) and successional roadside vegetation including Japanese
honeysuckle (Lonicerajaponica), multiflora rose (Rosa multiora), and greenbrier (Smilax spp.).
3.0 SOILS
Based on the Soil Survey of Iredell County (USDA, 1964), Chewacla (ChA) and mixed alluvial
soils dominate the floodplain area (Attachment A, Figure 3). These soils are somewhat poorly
drained, and were formed in recent alluvium on nearly level floodplains along streams that drain
from the Mountains and Piedmont physiographic provinces. Slopes range from 0 to 2 percent.
Chewacla soils are noted as Class B Hydric Soils because they contain inclusions of Wehadkee
soils (Class A Hydric Soils) in areas that are flooded for long periods of time and exhibit anaerobic
conditions. Although the soils are predominately Chewacla, soil scientists have identified that the
hydric Wehadkee inclusions are the basis of the soils within the restoration area. These inclusions
will be verified by a NRCS or licensed State soil scientist if required.
4.0 JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION
The results of the on-site field investigation conducted by Environmental Services, Inc. (ESI)
indicate that there are three jurisdictional stream channels within the subject property that include
Reeds Creek (approximately 1,135 linear feet) and two UT's to Lake Norman, all transecting the
site in a westerly direction (Attachment A, Figure 2). However, the two UT's are outside of the
mitigation area and are not considered part of the project. Onsite jurisdictional wetlands exist in
portions of the Reeds Creek floodplain. Based on the site reconnaissance, wetlands exist and
become more abundant within the central portion of the project site, as the site grades into Lake
Norman. The area of current jurisdiction generally follows the ordinary high water mark of the
lake (elevation 760 feet). Representative photographs depicting the streams and on-site conditions
are included as Attachment C.
5.0 AGENCY CORRESPONDENCE
I?
5.1 PROTECTED SPECIES
According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
FWS there is
( ) one fed
erall
due to similariy threatened species,
ty of appearance, and three federal species of concern that could occur in Iredell
County, North Carolina. Federal species of concern are not afforded federal protection
Endangered Species Act and are not subject to any of the provisions, including Section 7, until hc
they are formally listed or proposed as threatened or endangered. A clearance letter from FWS
3
II
rl
was not issued for the site because there are no federally threatened or endangered species within
Iredell County and Species of Concern are not protected under the Endangered Species Act.
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) identifies one state endangered species,
the littleleaf sneezeweed (Helenium brevifolium), one state threatened species, the coneshaped
sedge (Carex cinoidea), and two state species of special concern including the loggerhead shrike
(Lani ludovicianus) and highfin carpsucker (Carpoides velifer), that could occur in Iredell County,
North Carolina. A review of the NCNHP database of documented occurrences showed no
protected species within 0.5 mile of the project site. Further, no suitable habitat for these species
was identified onsite. A North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission concurrence letter is
attached as Attachment D.
5.2 CULTURAL RESOURCES
A review of properties to be determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places at the
State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) was conducted for the project site and surrounding
areas. According to the files, there are no National Register properties within a one-mile radius of
the project site. In addition, the SHPO Archaeological Section was contacted to determine if
documented archaeological sites occur at or near the project area. No sites were identified within a
one-mile radius of the project site. SHPO concurrence has been obtained and is documented in
Attachment E.
6.0 PROJECT PURPOSE AND NEED
The purpose of this project is to restore the primary wetland functions and values associated with
nutrient removal and transformation, sediment retention, floodflow attenuation, and wildlife (both
aquatic and terrestrial) habitat. Wetlands onsite will be restored by returning natural flooding
hydrology and native, forested plant communities. These activities are being performed to provide
the EEP with approximately 5.3 Wetland Mitigation Units (WMUs). Approximately 6.5 acres of
existing wetlands occur within the project boundary. These wetlands will be enhanced or
preserved along with the 4.2 acres of restoration to create a natural ecosystem.
7.0 AVOIDANCE AND MINIMIZATION
Impacts to on-site jurisdictional areas have been
minimized to the maximum extent practicable.
Ultimately, this project will improve the overall function, habitat, and integrity of the Reeds Creek
channel and the adjacent floodplain wetlands.
8.0 MITIGATION
The Reeds Creek Wetland Restoration Site consists of the Reeds Creek channel and the adjacent
floodplain wetlands. These wetlands are degraded and drained because the lands were recently
being managed as goat pasture. This site provides an opportunity to restore and enhance a
substantial riverine wetland zone by restoring the primary wetland functions and values associated
with nutrient removal and transformation, sediment retention, floodflow attenuation, and wildlife
habitat (both aquatic and terrestrial). The construction sheets are attached as Attachment F.

F,
s
As a part of this restoration plan, historic wetlands will be restored and jurisdictional wetlands will
be enhanced and/or preserved. The existing berms and spoil piles adjacent to Reeds Creek will be
graded down to a more natural elevation and the other existing fill areas will be removed and the
material graded to the surrounding landscape to provide microtopographic complexity. These
areas where the topography is to be enhanced will create diverse habitats instead of the
monotypical lake fringe habitat that currently exists in these areas. Surface hydrology will be
reintroduced to the restoration areas via more frequent overbank flooding from Reed's Creek.
Native woody vegetation will also be established in this area.
Jurisdictional wetlands will be preserved in the permanently impounded area associated with Lake
Norman. Jurisdictional wetlands will be enhanced and/or restored in the area south of Reeds
Creek. This will include establishing native woody vegetation, removing invasive and non-native
vegetation, and slight hydrologic alterations. Minor grading adjacent to the wettest areas will be
used to expand the wetland hydrology and create microtopography within the contiguous
floodplain and wetland area.
8.1 PLANTING PLAN
Plantings for the site will be based on reference wetlands and focus on species that will enhance
native wildlife habitat. The planting plan follows the guidelines provided by the Department of
Natural Resources (Smith, 1998).
The planting plan will be divided into three zones that include the Swamp Forest Zone, the
Bottomland Forest Zone, and the Levee Forest Zone. The location of each Zone is identified on
the Construction Plan Sheets (Attachment F, Sheet 3). Approximately 400 stems per acre will be
planted. The proposed candidate species and associated wetland indicator status are summarized in
Table 1. The exact number and species planted onsite will depend upon availability during
construction but will be based on nearby reference areas.

8.2 MONITORING METHODOLGY AND REPORTING
Monitoring of the Reeds Creek Wetland Restoration Site will be performed until success criteria
1 are met as defined in the restoration plans and the ACOE permit. Monitoring is proposed for
hydrology and vegetation parameters in accordance with the ACOE Compensatory Hardwood
Mitigation Guidelines (1993) and in coordination with the EEP. Results will be documented on an
annual basis and associated reports will be submitted to the EEP by December of each year.
Monitoring of wetland mitigation efforts will be conducted for a minimum of five years or until
success criteria are met. This plan will consist of a comparison between hydrology model
predictions and regulatory wetland criteria and supplemented by data from the reference wetlands.
Wetland monitoring will entail assessment of two primary parameters including hydrology and
vegetation. The success criteria for these parameters have been detailed in Section 8.0 above.
8.2.1 Methodology

1_1
Shallow, groundwater monitoring gauges will be installed within each vegetative zone to measure
the water table levels at different landscape positions. An additional gauge will be reinstalled in
the enhancement area after construction and at least one gauge will be installed in the reference
wetland(s). Surface water may be mapped, recorded, and used to assess hydrologic success in
addition to the sub-surface monitoring gauges.
Groundwater monitoring within the restoration area and the onsite reference wetland(s) will be
accomplished by utilizing Infinity and/or Remote Data Systems, Inc. automated groundwater
gauges or acceptable equivalents. These automated groundwater gauges will continuously record
water level data along a 24-inch gradient. The groundwater monitoring gauges will be installed in
accordance with specifications provided in the ACOE Installing Monitoring Wells/Piezometers in
Wetlands (WRP Technical Note HY-IA-3.1, 1993).
Vegetative monitoring stations will also be installed within each vegetative zone. Sampling
stations will be approximately 2,500 square feet, 50-foot by 50-foot, plots. A permanent
photographic station will be established within each plot to document the overall appearance of the
vegetative zones.
The location of the monitoring gauges, vegetative monitoring stations, and photographic stations
will be depicted graphically for reference purposes.
8.2.2 Monitoring Reports
All monitoring reports will be submitted to the EEP's designated representative on an annual basis
for coordination with the appropriate regulatory agencies. Reports will be submitted each
December unless a different submittal date is requested. The year of initial construction will
require two submittals, including 1) As-Built Drawings and 2) the First Annual Monitoring Report.
It is assumed that the EEP will coordinate any monitoring report submittals with the other
regulatory agencies.
If monitoring reports indicate any deficiencies in achieving the success criteria, a remedial action
plan will be drafted and submitted for approval.

III. Project Information
Attach a vicinity map clearly showing the location of the property with respect to local
landmarks such as towns, rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property
boundaries and development plans in relation to surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map
and site plan must include a scale and north arrow. The specific footprints of all buildings,
impervious surfaces, or other facilities must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should
include the appropriate USGS Topographic Quad Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property
1 boundaries outlined. Plan drawings, or other maps may be included at the applicant's discretion,
so long as the property is clearly defined. For administrative and distribution purposes, the
USACE requires information to be submitted on sheets no larger than 11 by 17-inch format;
however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. DWQ prefers full-size construction
drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans. If full-size plans are
t reduced to a small scale such that the final version is illegible, the applicant will be informed that
the project has been placed on hold until decipherable maps are provided.
1. Name of project: Reeds Creek Wetland Restoration Site
2. T.I.P. Project Number or State Project Number (NCDOT Only): N/A
3. Property Identification Number (Tax PIN): 4656074092.000
4. Location
County: Iredell Nearest Town: Mooresville
Subdivision name (include phase/lot number): N/A
Directions to site (include road numbers, landmarks, etc.): From I-77 North, take exit 33 and
head east on U.S. Hiehwav 21 towards Mooresville. Site is located on the west side on U.S.
Hiehwav 21. at annroximately 1.3 mile.
Site coordinates, if available (UTM or Lat/Long): 35° 34'08"N, 80° 50'48"W
(Note - If project is linear, such as a road or utility line, attach a sheet that separately lists the
coordinates for each crossing of a distinct waterbody.)
5. Property size (acres): +/-14.66 acres (project area=+/-10.7 acres)
6. Nearest body of water (stream/river/sound/ocean/lake): Reeds Creek
7. River Basin: Catawba (HU# 03050101) (NCDWQ: 03-08-32) (SIN#: 11-104-2)
(Note - this must be one of North Carolina's seventeen designated major river basins. The
River Basin map is available at http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/admin/maps/.)
8. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project
at the time of this application: The primary land use within the project area is pastureland,
however limited forested lands occur along the southern boundary. The surrounding vicini1y
II' consists primarily of residential land use. The vegetation within project site is separated into
four major groupings that are primarily influenced by topographical position and current land
use. These arounines include forested wetland habitat. herbaceous wetland habitat. shrubbv

11
u
wetland habitat and upland habitat. The upland habitat appears to have included historic
areas of wetland habitat that have since been drained and no longer provide wetland
'. ® functions.
9. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: As a part
of this restoration plan, historic wetlands will be restored and jurisdictional wetlands will be
enhanced and/or preserved. The existing berms and spoil piles adjacent to Reeds Creek will
be graded down to a more natural elevation and the other existing fill areas will be removed
and the material graded to the surrounding landscape to provide microtopographic
complexity. These areas where the topography is to be enhanced will create diverse habitats
instead of the monotypical lake fringe habitat that currently exists in these areas. Surface
1 hydrology will be reintroduced to the restoration areas via more frequent overbank flooding
from Reeds Creek. Native woody vegetation will also be established in this area.
Jurisdictional wetlands will be preserved in the permanently impounded area associated with
Lake Norman. Jurisdictional wetlands will be enhanced and/or restored in the area south of
Reeds Creek. This will include establishing native woody vegetation, removing invasive and
non-native vegetation, and slight hydrologic alterations. Minor grading adjacent to the
wettest areas will be used to expand the wetland hydrology and create microtopography
within the contiguous floodplain and wetland area. A trackhoe, in addition to other typical
excavation equipment will be used for this project.
10. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: The purpose of the Reeds Creek Wetland
Restoration Site are to create flood retention and water quality functions, restore natural
flooding hydrology of the site and restore native, forested wetland plant communities.
IV. Prior Project History
If jurisdictional determinations and/or permits have been requested and/or obtained for this
project (including all prior phases of the same subdivision) in the past, please explain. Include
the USACE Action ID Number, DWQ Project Number, application date, and date permits and
1 certifications were issued or withdrawn. Provide photocopies of previously issued permits,
certifications or other useful information. Describe previously approved wetland, stream and
buffer impacts, along with associated mitigation (where applicable). If this is a NCDOT project,
t list and describe permits issued for prior segments of the same T.I.P. project, along with
construction schedules.

Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
Impacts to on-site jurisdictional areas have been minimized to the maximum extent practicable.
Ultimately, this project will improve the overall function, habitat, and integrity of the Reeds
Creek channel and adjacent floodplain wetlands.
VIII. Mitigation
t 1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed. The Reeds Creek Wetland Restoration Site is
expected to yield a minimum of 5.3 riverine wetland mitigation units (WMUs).

r

n
t

t

e
J
In addition to the WMUs referenced above, the site is also expected to generate another 1.6
acres of wetland enhancement and 2.7 acres of preservation. These acreages are not factored
into the WMU equation because of the 75% wetland restoration requirement for mitigation
sites. These additional acres however, will be considered the property of EEP. The success
of the Reed's Creek Wetland Restoration Site is anticipated to encourage native plant species
recruitment and provide wetland-dependant wildlife with suitable habitat. Further, this site
provides an opportunity to restore and enhance a substantial riverine wetland zone on lands
historically used as pasture.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A

RE: Reeds Creek Wetlands Restoration Site Environmental Screening, Iredell County
1 Dear Mr. Petitgout:
This correspondence is in response to your letter of September 28, 2005 concerning the
referenced wetland restoration site. You requested that we review these sites to determine
potential impacts to natural resources in the area, including threatened and endangered species.
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) is authorized to comment and
1 make recommendations which relate to the impacts of this project on fish and wildlife through
the Federal License of Water Resource Project Act (Federal Power Act-16 U.S.C. 791a et seq.),
and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d).
The Reeds Creek site covers 16.7 acres near Davidson, North Carolina. Wetland restoration is
proposed for 4.2 acres and wetland enhancement is proposed for 2.2 acres. This project is being
proposed as a full delivery project to the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program
(EEP). Our animal species in-office review of the project map provided did not find any areas of
critical habitats or wilderness or wildlife areas. We did not find that any animal species were
indicated for the site on Reeds Creek. We did find that the Highfm carpsucker, Carpiodes velifer
(NCSC) was known west of the site and that the Bog turtle, Glyptemys muhlenbergii (NCT, FT
S/A) was known to the south. A population of the Star-nosed mole, Corylura cristata (NCSC) is
known for the county.
Since this is a wetland restoration site, consideration for providing suitable habitats for the Bog
turtle and other wetland animal species should be considered. Project Bog Turtle should be
contacted through the North Carolina Museum of Natural History in Raleigh if this is a
consideration. Field investigations should be provided by professional consultants to determine
if the Bog turtle is present in the vicinity unless additional information can be acquired that

you should contact the NC Natural Heritage Program in Raleigh (919/715-1751) and the US Fish
and ice in Asheville (828/258-3939).
? Wildlife Service
We recommend that you contact the NC Division of Land Resources in Mooresville at 704/663-
1699 to discuss sediment and erosion control and site plan requirements. Due diligence and
caution should be exercised when using chemicals in watersheds supporting rare or listed aquatic
species. Stormwater management Best Management Practices (BMP) should be utilized by
upstream municipalities and developments in order to maintain the integrity of nearby streams
and wetland ecosystems. Low Impact Development (LID) techniques are encouraged and
recommended by this office for stormwater management. Information on LID practices and
measures can be found at,,vww lowimpactdevelopment.or(.
I hope this information is helpful to you. If you have any questions regarding these comments,
please contact me at 336/769-9453.

Concord, North Carolina 29027
Subject: Reeds Creeek Wetland Restoration Plan
Catawba River Basin - Cataloging Unit 03050101
Iredell County
Contract # D05016-3
Dear Mr. Mogensen:
In March 2006, Mid-Atlantic Mitigation, LLC submitted the subject Restoration Plan for
the Reeds Creek Wetland Restoration Full Delivery Project. The project is located immediately
adjacent to Lake Norman, near Mooresville in Iredell County. The Restoration Plan proposes to
provide 5.3 Riverine Wetland Mitigation Units (WMUs) by:
1. Restoration of 4.2 acres of riverine wetland by removal of an artificial berm along the
banks of Reeds Creek; and
2. Enhancing 2.2 acres of riverine wetland.
Additional WMUs may be generated as a result of this project, but Mid-Atlantic, LLC
has no contractual obligation for any WMUs in excess of the contracted 5.3 Riverine WMU's.
Based on our review, the following comments are submitted:
1. EEP agrees that the currently unvegetated area of the project within the mean
high water level of Lake Norman (approximately 2.2 acres) can be enhanced
through the establishment of a permanent woody vegetation community. As
we discussed, Mid-Atlantic, LLC must document pre-construction and post-
construction conditions to demonstrate improvements to aquatic functions
(habitiat, fish spawning, etc.) resulting from wetland enhancement. Based on
our discussion, significant pre-construction data has already been collected.
2. EEP agrees that the area(s) located above the mean high water level of Lake
Norman can be restored provided that wetland soils are present and that
overbank flooding of this area can be re-established by the removal of the spoil
berm adjacent the bank of Reeds Creek. Please be advised that, as a general
rule, wetland restoration must occur on HYDRIC A soils. The restoration plan

indicates that the project area is mapped as Chewacla soils (Hydric B) due to
inclusions of Wehadkee (Hydric A), but based on your site characterization, the
site is primarily Wehadkee soils. Due to the controversial nature of restoring
Hydric B soils, it may be prudent to verify (by NRCS or a licensed soil
scientist) that the Hydric A Wehadkee soils are predominant in the proposed
wetland restoration area.
Please proceed with acquiring all necessary permits and/or certifications and complete
the implementation of the earthwork portion of the mitigation project (Task 4).
If you have any questions, or wish to discuss this matter further, please contact me at
[phone] or email at [e-mail].
