1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY/PROJECT ABSTRACT
The Forrest Creek Mitigation Bank (Bank) is located in Orange County North Carolina
within land owned by Milton A. Latta and Sons Dairy Farms, Inc. A permanent
conservation easement covers the restored stream and surrounding riparian buffer. This
easement defines the Bank's boundaries. The Bank is located on an active dairy farm
approximately seven miles northeast of Hillsborough and six miles northwest of Durham
in northeastern Orange County, North Carolina. The stream(s) lie within USGS
hydrologic unit 03020201020020 in the Neuse River Basin. The North Carolina Division
of Water Quality (NCDWQ) classifies the main reach, Forrest Creek, as a WS-II (water
supply II), HQW (high quality water), and NSW (nutrient sensitive water).
Prior to restoration, pasture land surrounded most of the length of the project reaches and
the stream banks lacked strong rooted vegetation (e.g. woody or deep rooted herbaceous
vegetation). Due to the lack of bank protection and partially cleared watershed, the
stream channels became entrenched within the floodplain and showed signs of high shear
stress. In this condition and with regular impacts due to cattle traffic, bank erosion had
accelerated and the variety of bed features diminished.
Two types of vegetative communities surrounded the stream reaches prior to restoration.
The first zone consisted of a mix of woody vegetation that included significant
populations of invasive species including privet (Ligustrum sinense), multiflora rose
(Rosa multiflora), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), Japanese Stilt Grass
(Mircostegium vimineum), Tree-of-Heaven (Ailanthus altissima), and Princess Tree
(Paulownia tomentosa). This zone covered the lower section of the Ut Forrest Creek and
the upper section of Forrest Creek. The second zone consisted primarily of herbaceous
vegetation with scattered woody vegetation. The woody vegetation included a mix of
natural, invasive, and succession species. This zone covered the remaining restoration
areas.
The altered conditions of the stream and the riparian buffer reduced water quality and
impaired habitat. Pasture derived nutrients flowing untreated through the riparian zone
and fine silts sloughing from the incised banks raised biochemical oxygen demand. This
with the lack of sufficient reoxygenating riffle features reduced dissolved oxygen within
the water column. Water quality had also diminished due to raised turbidity from bank
erosion and elevated water temperatures caused by the lack of tree shading. Habitat
potential had been reduced by the diminished water quality and loss of physical habitat
such as bed features, undercut banks, and a well developed vegetative community.
The Forrest Creek reach was restored within the existing floodplain using a Priority II
approach and the Ut Forrest Creek reach bed was raised to the abandoned floodplain
using a Priority I approach. A portion of Forrest Creek immediately above the Forrest
Creek restoration reach was enhanced by modifying a downstream crossing that had
caused ponding upstream of it. The crossing modification reestablished natural flow and
will create a natural channel profile. Above the enhancement area, a section of Forrest
Forrest Creek Mitigation Bank 1 Monitoring Year 2 of 5
Creek has been placed under a conversation easement to preserve a functional stream
channel and riparian buffer. The remaining impaired riparian buffer was replanted with
native woody species to restore ecological function and forested habitat to the buffer.
The buffer restoration work is regulated under the Forrest Creek Riparian Buffer
Mitigation Bank Agreement signed by the Sponsor and NCDWQ in accordance with 15A
NCAC 213.0200 and the memorandum titled "NCDWQ Buffer
Interpretation/Clarification #2008-17, January 25th, 2008". This Agreement is in addition
to the Forrest Creek Mitigation Bank Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI) signed by the
Sponsor and the US Army Corp of Engineers (USACE), the US Environmental
Protection Agency (USEPA), the NC Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ), and the NC
Wildlife Resouces Commission (NCWRC) all comprising the Interagency Review Team
(IRT) formerly the MBRT in accordance with Federal guidelines and regulations
including the Compensatory Mitigation losses of Aquatic Resources Final Rule, 33 CFR
Parts 325 and 332 and 40 CFR Part 230. The Monitoring requirements as they apply to
both the stream and buffer restoration are detailed in the Mitigation Plan section of the
NMI. Restoration work resulted in the restoration of 15.1 acres (658,000 square feet) of
riparian buffer associated with the restoration of approximately 6,825 linear feet,
enhancement I of approximately 325 linear feet, and preservation of approximately 3,005
linear feet of stream (subject of a separate report submitted to the IRT).
With the restoration, water quality will be improved due to a decrease in nutrients,
turbidity, and moderation in water temperature. Biochemical oxygen demand will be
reduced through filtering in the riparian buffer and riverine wetlands. Potential habitats
have been added through the creation of bed features and reestablishment of riparian
vegetative community.
Monitoring Plan
The annual monitoring work will assess the Bank's buffer riparian areas to determine
restoration success. The monitoring plan has been set up based on guidance provided by
The Stream Mitigation Guidelines developed by the United States Corps of Engineers -
Wilmington District (McLendon, Scott, Fox, Becky et al. 2003), version 1.2 (11/16/2006)
of the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) document entitled
"Content, Format, and Data Requirements for EEP Monitoring Reports", version 2.0
(3/27/2008) of the EEP document entitled "Mitigation Plan Document Format, Data
Requirements, and Content Guidance", and the Forrest Creek Mitigation Bank Mitigation
Plan (May 2008). The monitoring will occur annually for five years with reports to be
submitted during years 1-5 by December 31st.
Monitoring work will include reference photographs and vegetative stem counts.
Mid- Atlantic Mitigation and NCDWQ in coordination with the appropriate regulatory
agencies, will determine when riparian restoration has met success criteria. The sections
below provide a framework for determining and assessing success criteria.
The riparian buffer will be monitored for survivability and specific densities of planted
vegetation and exclusion of invasive species. The site will be maintained during the
Forrest Creek Mitigation Bank 2 Monitoring Year 2 of 5
monitoring period to allow it to continue on a trajectory that meets project goals and
success criteria. The site will be replanted if vegetation shows signs of significant failure
or if vegetative density goals contained in the NMI are not achieved.
Vegetation monitoring took place on September 1st, 2009. Strategies and methodologies
laid out in the Monitoring Plan will be followed for a minimum of five years of
monitoring. Vegetative success of plantings for buffer restoration will be monitored for
species diversity and survival with standardized, permanent (10m by 10m) vegetation
plots to be monitored annually for 5 years. Monitoring data will be analyzed to
determine what remedial actions, if any, are required. Any remedial actions proposed will
be detailed in the following monitoring report.
2.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND
2.1 LOCATION AND SETTING
The Forrest Creek Mitigation Bank (Bank) is located in Orange County North Carolina
within land owned by Milton A. Latta and Sons Dairy Farms, Inc. A permanent
conservation easement covers the restored stream and surrounding riparian buffer. This
easement defines the Bank's boundaries. The Bank is located approximately seven miles
northeast of Hillsborough and six miles northwest of Durham in northeastern Orange
County, North Carolina. The stream(s) lie within USGS hydrologic unit 03020201020020
in the Neuse River Basin.
Streams within the Bank consist of two reaches. The larger reach (Forrest Creek) flows
through the property from north to south and drains a 3.6 square mile area consisting of
predominantly forest and pasture land. The smaller tributary (UT1) flows from west to
east before joining with Forrest Creek and drains a 0.1 square mile area consisting of
predominantly pasture land. Buffer restoration consists of 15.1 acres (658,000 square
feet) of land surrounding these streams.
2.2 STRUCTURE AND OBJECTIVES
The goals of the project relate to providing ecological improvements to the Bank's
riparian buffers through beneficial modifications of water quality, and habitat.
Goals related to water quality include:
? Reducing turbidity and pollution by reducing sediment and nutrient inputs
(cattle exclusion)
? Reducing water temperatures by providing shading
Goals related to habitat include:
? Improving bank habitat by increasing stability and woody biomass
? Improving floodplain habitat by establishing microtopography and hydrology,
removing invasive vegetation, and increasing habitat diversity
Forrest Creek Mitigation Bank 3 Monitoring Year 2 of 5
? Improving food web dynamics by adding biomass (such as detritus, coarse
woody debris, and leaf matter)
The restoration achieves these goals through the following objectives:
? Restoring soils in riparian buffer by excluding cattle and adding organic
components
? Removing invasive vegetation
? Planting native vegetation in riparian buffer
? Fencing out livestock
Together, these improvements will provide functional uplift for the watershed as a whole.
Above the enhancement area, a section of Forrest Creek has been placed under
conservation easement to preserve a functional stream channel and riparian buffer.
The remaining impaired riparian buffer was planted as four (4) zones. Zones 1 and 2 are
the stream channel and bank zones consisting of tree and shrub species and native
herbaceous seeding typically found along stream banks in the region. Live stakes
comprised the bulk of installed species within these zones. Zone 3 is the riparian zone
consisting of selected tree and shrub species with a range of tolerances to inundation and
saturation. Zone 4 is the transitional zone that includes the buffer areas.

3.1.2 Vegetative Problem Areas
The site is stabilized and vegetated with native woody and herbaceous species. Invasive
species listed in the executive summary and in the Mitigation Report have not
reestablished themselves and will continue to be monitored and noted in future reports.
Kudzu, which was previously kept at bay by grazing cattle has began to establish along
UT1 between Stations 119 and 127, approximately. This population will be treated this
year and annual treatments will be scheduled for this area. The Sponsor is taking this
threat very seriously and will begin necessary measures to control the problem
immediately.
An unidentified species of Commelina (Dayflower) has colonized the riffle areas along
the main channel somewhat aggressively. It is expected that the plants will die back over-
winter. Care will be taken in the spring and summer of 2010 (year 3) to prevent regrowth.
A more detailed discussion of the effects of these populations can be found with the
Pebble Count analysis in the Forrest Creek Mitigation Bank Stream Monitoring report.
As documented in the previously submitted Supplemental Planting Report, supplemental
livestaking was done on January 14th and 15th and a supplemental planting of 1,000
gallon size trees was completed on January 29th, 2009 by Carolina Wetland Services.
Findings of the 2009 monitoring activities and stems counts are discussed in the
following section.

3.1.3 Stem Counts
Four planting zones were established as follows: Zone 1 - Stream channel; Zone 2-
Stream Bank; Zone 3 - Riparian; and Zone 4 - Transitional (including buffer areas).
Live stakes were installed along the new constructed channel within Zones 1 and 2.
Zones 2 - 4 consist of tublings, gallon and 3 gallon size plants. A reduction in the
percentage of nuisance vegetation in areas with existing vegetation to less than 10% will
indicate establishment of native wetland vegetation. Study plots show that the
composition and density of vegetation in the restoration areas compares closely to the
reference areas, indicating restoration success for vegetation. Success will be gauged by
stem counts of planted species. Stem counts of over 320 woody stems per acre after 5
years will be considered successful. Presence, numbers and health of desirable
volunteers will be considered before a replant will be deemed necessary. Photos taken at
established photo points should indicate maturation of riparian vegetation community.
Photographs will help to capture the health of the planted vegetation and the severity of
any invasive or exotic species that establish within the site. Permanent vegetative plots
have been established at 14 locations. The success of vegetation plantings will be
measured through stems counts. Height and DBH were measured at baseline and will be
measured in years 3 and 5. These plots will be used to sample primarily Zones 2, 3 and 4.
Each plot covers 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 September 1st, 2009, the second year vegetative monitoring was performed on the
established vegetative plots.
3.1.4 Vegetation Assessment Summary
The success of riparian vegetation planting will be gauged by stem counts of planted
species and an assessment of community composition including (desirable) volunteers.
Stem counts of over 320 trees and shrubs per acre after 5 years will be considered
successful. The composition of the vegetation community should trend toward a
predominance of target species. A majority (80%) of the target species should be present
in the reforestation area in numbers and condition conducive to continuing the species
through the maturation of the community. The population of invasive species will be kept
below 10% of the total population. Photos taken at established photo points should
indicate maturation of riparian vegetation community.
The Year 2 monitoring numbers indicate approximately 80% survival and 413 stems per
acre overall. The Tributary reach maintained an overall stems per acre count of 358 not
counting volunteer species. The main channel reach maintained an overall stem per acre
count of 468 without including volunteer species. This number was improved by
supplemental plantings done prior to the 2009 growing season.

Along the Main channel only Plot VQ4 indicated a stems per acre count of below 320.
283 planted stems per acre were counted; however inclusion of 2 volunteer stems of
Cottonwood and Smooth Sumac increased the count to 364 stems per acre. Both
Cottonwood and Sumac tend to colonize in large numbers, however, this is not currently
the case and neither species is classified as invasive.
The 2009 supplemental planting covered the main channel only and stem counts on the
main channel for 2009 do not indicate the need for a replant. A handful of new
individuals will be added to VQ4 to boost stem counts for 2010. However, 2009 stem
counts indicate a need for supplemental planting on UT I. Plots VQT2, VQT4, and VQT7
all indicated stems per acre counts below 320, while plots VQT3 and VQT5 both
indicated stems per acre counts of 324, which is low for this stage (Year 2) in site
Forrest Creek Mitigation Bank 9 Monitoring Year 2 of 5
development. Desirable volunteers do not yet contribute significantly to stems counts
along UT1. A second supplemental planting covering only UT1 will be done this winter.
Please note a change in the number of individuals labeled as Unknown. Final
identifications were made during the 2009 count.
Along the main channel of Forrest Creek, herbaceous cover is well established. Sample
plots indicated an average of 94 % cover with a range of 80% (VQ6) to 100% cover
(VQ3, 4, 5, and 7). VQ1 and 2 tend to hold standing water leaving some areas slightly
bare. VQ6 was most recently stabilized with annual rye due to equipment traffic for
repairs to the stream bank in winter 2008. Cattle grasses and grasses used for stabilization
are beginning to be out competed by natural herbaceous cover such as soft rush and
ploygonum in the wet areas; and narrow leaved sunflower, dog fennel and cockle burr in
the drier areas.
Along the unnamed tributary, herbaceous cover is well established and more mature than
on the main channel. Sample plots indicated 100% cover throughout with similar
composition to the main channel.
Detailed vegetation survey information is located in Appendix A; including herbaceous
cover, stressed individuals, and volunteers.
3.1.5 Site Summary and Remeadial Actions
The herbaceous vegetative cover has developed a healthy and diverse community
throughout most of the site. The planted trees and shrubs in the riparian and buffer areas
have also done relatively well and are supplemented by an existing buffer community
which will provide a seed source for native volunteers well suited to the current site
conditions.
Low stem counts along UT1 are likely due to herbaceous competition. Original plantings
were done with bare roots and tublings. Tublings, in particular, are not well suited to
these competitive conditions. A 2010 replant along UT1 will be done with only gallon
size trees, which typically maintain a higher level of success and can be planted in
smaller numbers. Approximately 500 to 700 trees will be installed during this replant.
Invasive species will be treated with herbicide this year and full scale removal of Kudzu
along UT1 near VQT2 will be scheduled for the spring and late summer, with annual
treatments thereafter.
Beaver activity was not noted in 2009. On-going beaver management will be maintained
as part of the monitoring requirements as discussed in the Mitigation Plan.
