1.0 Mitigation Project Summary
1.1 Project Narrative
The Longhorn Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site (“the project”) will provide high quality compensatory
mitigation for authorized riparian buffer impacts credited through the NC DMS in-lieu-fee program and
occurring within the Cape Fear River Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03030003 and to address the watershed
goals identified in the Cape Fear River Basin Restoration Plan (RBRP) (NC EEP, 2010). These goals include:
● Removal of non-point source pollution (including nitrogen, phosphorous, and fecal bacteria)
resulting from current land-use practices (principally cattle pasture);
● Reduction of sediment run-off/sediment loading to creek waters resulting from cattle hoof
shear, bank instability, and lack of riparian buffer woody vegetation;
● Increased floodwater attenuation;
● Enhancement and protection of stream ecology and aquatic/semi-aquatic habitats; and
● Enhancement and protection of terrestrial habitats along stream terraces and hillside slopes.
These goals will be achieved via the restoration and protection of woody buffer along an unnamed
tributary of Bob Branch (which flows east into Randleman Lake Reservoir). Specific objectives of the
proposed project to achieve the desired goals include:
● Conversion of existing cattle pasture into wooded riparian buffer zones along the existing
stream channel and pond via planting of characteristic hardwood species and installation of
cattle-exclusion fencing;
● Reduction of stream bank instability via woody stem plantings (i.e. increased woody root
material) and cattle exclusion fencing;
● Ensuring diffuse flow and increased surface roughness throughout the buffer mitigation area;
● Establishment of a conservation easement to protect the riparian buffer restoration site in
perpetuity; and
● Invasive species management (as needed) during monitoring period.

As is well-documented in the scientific literature, riparian areas along streams and drainageways provide
a suite of benefits not only to the localized site but to receiving waters and streams of the larger
watershed. This is particularly important within Water Supply watersheds and surface waters susceptible
to eutrophication as is the case with the Randleman Lake watershed in which the Longhorn Buffer
Mitigation Site is located. Riparian buffers reduce the potential for on-site stressors to adversely affect
streams. Restored and enhanced buffers on the Longhorn site will remove non-point source contaminants
associated with intensive cattle grazing adjacent to existing surface waters. Cattle grazing and the lack of
an existing riparian buffer contribute to increased soil bulk densities, reduced infiltration rates, and
greater potential for run-off of contaminants (sediment and fecal phosphorous) and increased nutrient
loading to receiving waters. Such stressors have a direct effect on surface water quality within this Water
Supply watershed. The predominant land-use within the watershed is pasture and cropland. Sediment
loading (associated with pasture and agricultural uses) is prevalent throughout the watershed. These
impairments tend to be exacerbated by direct disturbances to streams and wetlands (such as prior
channelization of streams and historic drainage of wetlands). The cumulative effects of such practices
result in diminished nutrient uptake and nutrient/sediment loading to down-gradient waters. The high

percentage of land in agricultural use in the watershed, combined with the lack of adequate stream
buffers, results in water quality impairments.

The proposed project promotes the goals of the Cape Fear RBRP (2010) and specifically the Water Supply
Watershed by addressing runoff and buffer restoration. The project will include restoration of riparian
buffers as well as cattle exclusion fencing. Planting and cattle exclusion will result in greater bank stability.
Cattle exclusion will also result in the reduction of soil bulk densities and associated run-off, thus reducing
sediment and nutrient loading to downstream waters of Randleman Lake.

Ancillary benefits of the proposed riparian buffer restoration effort include:
• Increase of organic material as food for invertebrate, fish and wildlife;
• Supply of woody debris that provides increased niche habitat for fish, invertebrates and
amphibians;
• Reduction of sunlight reaching the stream and modulation of surface water temperatures; and
• Floodwater attenuation via temporary storage, interception and slow releases from heavy rains.

The anticipated functional uplift to be provided by the project will have direct benefits to the adjacent
streams and to the broader ecological health of the Randleman Lake watershed.

1.2 Project Location and Site Description
The project site is located in Randolph County, approximately 1.5 miles northwest of the Town of Sophia,
North Carolina and approximately 9 miles south of High Point (NC). The property is situated just east of
NC Highway 311 and is bounded to the south by Marlboro Church Road (refer to Figure 1). The Longhorn
Buffer Mitigation Site is located within the Muddy Creek 12-digit HUC (030300030106) of the Randleman
Lake watershed (Figure 2). The buffer restoration and enhancement areas are located along an unnamed
tributary (UT) of Bob Branch and drainages that flow directly into Randleman Lake Reservoir
approximately 2 river miles downstream (refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4). Darr Field Airport (located
approximately 7.3 miles to the northwest) is the closest airport to the project site. Darr Field is a private-
use airport. Johnson Field (formerly located 2.4 miles to the west) is a historical private-use airport no
longer in operation. The entrance to the access road for the project is at Latitude 35.839374, Longitude
-79.880375.

A. Watershed and Water Quality Classification
Based upon the NC Department of Environmental Quality surface water classification, Bob Branch is listed
as a WS-IV* waterbody.

B. Physiography, Geology, and Soils
The Longhorn Buffer Mitigation Site is located within the Carolina Slate Belt of the Piedmont Physiographic
Province (USGS, 1998). According to the U.S. EPA Ecoregion mapping program, the site is located within
the Southern Outer Piedmont Ecoregion IV (45b). The Southern Outer Piedmont extends from Alabama
northeast through Georgia and the Carolinas. The ecoregion is characterized by lower elevation
topography, less relief, and less precipitation than the Inner Piedmont to the west. The landform class is
generally irregular plains with mostly red, clayey soils underlain by weathered gneiss, schist, and granite
rocks.

Elevations of the site range from 740 ft above mean seal level (AMSL) at the northern (i.e. downstream)
extent of the project area to approximately 790 ft AMSL on the hillside slope of the southern boundary
(Figure 4). Soils in the upland areas are well-drained with slow permeability and underlain by weathered
mafic rock. Mapped units include the Wynott-Enon complex (sandy loam near the surface with clay loam
to clay texture in the B and C horizons) (Figure 5). Incised drainageways of the stream tributary consist of
more poorly drained soils consistent with Chewacla and Wehadkee series (loamy sediments of floodplains
and along streams).

C. Streams and Existing Conditions
The property is currently managed for cattle pasture and lacks existing forested buffer along the existing
streams, pond, and drainageways bisecting the site. Site drainage and hydrology have been historically
altered via the impoundment of waters. Based upon a review of available aerial photography, the
tributary was impounded in the early 1970s (between 1970 and 1973). A portion of the site was in
cropland as early as 1948. The remaining land was cleared and converted to agricultural production in
the 1950s (see historical site aerial photography in Appendix A). The extent of the conservation easement
boundary is depicted on the 1998 aerial and 2016 aerial in Figure 6 and Figure 7, respectively.

On June 19th, 2019, Ms. Sue Homewood of the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR) conducted on on-
site determination of site channels for the applicability to Randleman Lake Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 02B
.0250). Ms. Homewood determined that perennial stream A1 and perennial waterbody P1 are subject to
Randleman Lake Buffer Rules. A copy of the DWR Stream Determination letter (dated July 24, 2019) with
corresponding map is provided in Appendix B.

Note that for the purpose of this Mitigation Plan, the nomenclature of site reaches will be consistent with
those referenced in the “Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset Letter” prepared by Ms.
Katie Merritt of NC DWR (letter dated September 26, 2018).

The buffer mitigation site consists of one stream reach (A1) and an in-line pond (P1) as illustrated in Figure
8. Reach A1 is a perennial stream that flows from the in-line pond (P1) to the north and into Bob Branch
approximately 1,300 lf downstream. There is approximately 625 lf of stream associated with Reach A1
within the proposed buffer easement area. Pond (P1) is an in-line pond that is approximately 5.3-acres

and lies entirely within the proposed conservation easement area. Stream attributes are provided below
in Table 1. Site photos of existing conditions are provided for reference in Appendix C.

Area 625 lf 5.3 acres

As indicated above, the site consists nearly entirely of actively managed cattle pasture with fields
extending to the top of banks of the existing pond (P1) and the east side of stream A1. The only forested
area around the pond is located in the southwest corner of the pond and is off-site. A partially forested
area exists just to the north (i.e. downstream) of the pond dam. This area contains sparse stem counts of
red maple (Acer rubrum) and eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana). An area further downstream
becomes forested and consists of a canopy cover of red maple, sweet gun (Liquidambar styraciflua),
sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), and American holly (Ilex opaca). Herbaceous vegetation along the edge
of the pond and the banks of the channels generally consists of soft rush (Juncus effusus), sedge (Carex
spp.), and cattail (Typha latifolia).

2.0 Regulatory Considerations
2.1 Determination of Credits
Approximately 625 linear feet (lf) of streams and the perimeter of the impoundment (approximately 2,100
lf) have been targeted for buffer restoration. Approximately 12.70 acres of existing agricultural fields are
targeted for restoration while approximately 0.40 acres of partially forested areas are considered suitable
for buffer enhancement. An additional 0.21 acres of existing, wooded riparian area will be enhanced as
cattle exclusion fencing will be installed around the conservation easement boundary. The pond will be
protected via the permanent conservation easement. An additional 0.85 acres of existing pasture (no
credit generation) will be placed within the conservation easement to protect the upstream catchment
area draining to the subject pond (P1). The total conservation easement area is 19.95 acres.
On June 19th, 2018, Ms. Katie Merritt of the Division of Water Resources (DWR) performed an evaluation
of surface water features and adjacent riparian areas within the proposed mitigation site for the
determination of riparian buffer mitigation pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (effective November 1, 2015)
(refer to attached Site Viability Letter, Appendix D). Based upon this evaluation, DWR determined that
areas within 200 ft of Reach A-1 and Pond P-1 are eligible for buffer credit.
Longhorn Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site – Mitigation Plan 5 | Page
DMS Project No. 100114
December 2019

There are no known site constraints that would impede or adversely affect the restoration and
enhancement of riparian buffer within the recorded easement area. Diffuse flow of runoff will be
maintained in the riparian buffer. Any direct conveyances (such as pipes or drain tiles) will be eliminated
and the flow converted to diffuse flow.
A Categorical Exclusion document (i.e. limited environmental screening) has been completed in
accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) and corresponding guidelines of
the Council of Environmental Quality (CEQ). The completed Categorical Exclusion document verifies that
the proposed action will not have a significant impact on the environment. Refer to the attached
Categorical Exclusion form with screening checklist and signatures of the NC DMS Project Manager and
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) (Appendix E).

3.0 Implementation Plan
3.1 Site Preparation
Based upon pre-project assessment of compaction within the proposed planting areas, the project team
has determined that all areas targeted for vegetative plantings within the buffer restoration project will
be disked to reduce compaction and to enhance microtopography. Selective mowing is proposed within
the headwater (herbaceous) wetland area to limit blackberry and smaller, volunteer red maple (refer to
Figure 8). Also spot spraying of herbicide will occur for control of invasive species within the
enhancement and preservation areas. The existing 100-ft pond spillway will be stabilized prior to
planting. The spillway will be widened to approximately 10-feet and tapered down to 6-feet, the side
slopes will be lined with coir fiber matting, and bottom of spillway lined with rip-rap. Appropriate erosion
control measures will be implemented before, during, and after the spillway maintenance to prevent
sediment loss into downstream waters. There have been no observed drain tiles discharging into the
subject stream channels targeted for buffer mitigation. However, such features will be removed during
project implementation in the event any are observed prior to, or during, construction and planting.
The proposed mitigation site will provide for the establishment of natural plant assemblages occurring
within riparian habitats of the Piedmont. Target species to be planted have been carefully selected based
upon site-specific information (including soil profiles and evaluation of landscape position). The proposed
planting regime will result in a mature community characteristic of riparian areas in the region. The project
will include the restoration and enhancement of riparian areas adjacent to the stream and the pond on
the property as outlined in Figure 8. This will be achieved via the planting of characteristic hardwood
species (as further described in Section 3.2 below), ensuring diffuse flow through the riparian area. Pre-
planting herbicide application will be applied to control the spread of invasive, exotic plants. The herbicide
will be applied by a licensed applicator according to prescribed quantities and methods. Small areas of
Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) and multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora) have been observed within the
proposed buffer enhancement and preservation areas and along the eastern bank of Stream A1. Spot
herbicide treatment of these areas will occur prior to site planting. An invasive species management plan
and protocol have been implemented should invasive species volunteer into the site.
Prior to planting, the conservation easement boundary will be marked using 6-inch diameter treated post
buried 2 feet, standing 5 feet above the ground surface, within the pasture. Woven wire fencing with a
top strand of barbed wire will be installed along the entire easement boundary. Four pedestrian access
gates will be installed for future monitoring and access. Four 12-ft wide gates will be installed in
appropriate locations to allow cattle to exit in case they were to breach the fence and enter the
conservation easement. The easement boundary will also be marked with standard yellow Conservation
Area signs, per the 01/23/14 NCDMS Boundary Marking Standards.
3.2 Methods and Materials
The planting plan consists of the planting at least four hardwood species on a density of approximately
538 stems per acre. Species selection and distribution were matched closely to micro-site hydrologic and
edaphic conditions and include species characteristic of riparian assemblages in the watershed. In other
words, species more tolerant of poorly drained soils (i.e. river birch, green ash, and willow oak) will be
Longhorn Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site – Mitigation Plan 8 |P a g e
DMS Project No. 100114
December 2019
planted within lower landscape positions generally consisting of the Chewacla and Wedhakee soil series
while species characteristically occurring in better drained soils (Wynott-Enon complex) will be planted
inhigher landscape positions (i.e. hillside slopes). The selected native trees are well-suited to the site-
specific conditions of the property to promote high survivorship rates.
The planting and re-establishment of characteristic riparian vegetation will be coupled with controlling
invasive species population. Herbicide applications and vegetative management may be needed during
tree establishment in the enhancement and restoration areas to prevent recruitment and establishment
of invasive species that could compete with the planted native species. The enhancement and
restoration areas will be closely monitored, and invasive vegetation management will be implemented as
needed, and in consultation with DMS staff. Table 3 below, summarizes the planting plan for the
Longhorn mitigation site.

2Note planted area includes approximate 0.82 acres of conservation area. While no credit is proposed for this area,
it will be planted per the same specifications (species density and composition) as those contained within final,
approved mitigation plan.
4.0 Monitoring Plan
Upon completion of the buffer restoration and enhancement, a Baseline Monitoring Report will be
prepared and submitted to the NC DMS to document the extent of buffer mitigation. The report will
include all information required by DMS monitoring guidelines including photographs, plot locations, and
documentation of existing species density and composition. Subsequent monitoring reports will be
submitted annually to the NC DMS (by December 1 of each year). Monitoring will be conducted during
the growing season for a period of five years. Year 1 monitoring will be conducted a minimum of 6
months from the completion of the planting. Monitoring will be performed in accordance with the
Consolidated Mitigation Buffer Rule (15A NCAC 02B .0295) and current DMS standards.

December 2019

Vegetative monitoring will include the establishment of eleven (11) permanent plots consistent with the
Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) protocol Level 2 (version 4.2) (refer to Figure 8 for plot locations). During
monitoring, the species, height, and vigor of each planted stem will be recorded. Additionally, the
number, species, general height, and diameter at breast height (DBH) of volunteers will be documented.
All planted stems within the monitoring plot will be flagged. A digital camera will be used to take photos
at each predetermined photo point location. Any vegetative problem areas in the site will be noted and
reported in each monitoring report. Vegetative problem areas may include areas that either lack
vegetation or include populations of exotic vegetation. Monitoring reports will identify any contingency
measures that may need to be employed to remedy site deficiencies. For instance, invasive vegetation
management may be needed if exotic species volunteer into the site.

Annual monitoring of this site will occur no earlier than late August of each year. The first year vegetation
monitoring event will occur in September or October of 2020. After the fifth-year monitoring report is
finalized, a close-out report that provides an assessment of the monitoring data collected from the entire
monitoring period will be prepared. The project managers for Clearwater Mitigation Solutions and Land
Management Group will attend the close-out meeting(s) and will present the final project to the DWR
following all DMS closeout procedures and templates.

5.0 Success Criteria
The site will be evaluated based upon performance criteria related to vegetative density. Specifically, the
performance criteria for this project will be:

(1) “Demonstrated density of planted species to meet or exceed 260 trees per acre during the fifth
year post-planting;”1 and

(2) Species assemblage must include a minimum of four native hardwood species or four native
hardwood tree and native shrub species, where no one species is greater than 50% of stems.

6.0 Stewardship
6.1 Ownership
The project area and proposed conservation easement are located on two parcels. The current owner of
the northern parcel (PIN 7736822634) is Christopher Redding. The current owner of the southern parcel
(PIN 7736817705) is Curtis Redding. The property owners (Grantors) have granted and conveyed in
perpetuity a Conservation Easement (CE) along with a Right to Access to the State of North Carolina

6.2 Long-Term Stewardship Plan
The site will be transferred to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ)
Stewardship Program. This party shall serve as conservation easement holder and long-term steward
for the property and will conduct periodic inspection of the site to ensure that restrictions required in
the conservation easement are upheld. Funding will be supplied by the responsible party on a yearly
basis until such time an endowment is established. The NCDEQ Stewardship Program is developing an
endowment system within the non-reverting, interest-bearing Conservation Lands Conservation Fund
Account. The use of funds from the Endowment Account will be governed by North Carolina General
Statue GS 113A-232(d)(3). Interest gained by the endowment fund may be used for the purpose of
stewardship, monitoring, stewardship administration, and land transaction costs, if applicable. The
Stewardship Program will periodically install signage as needed to identify boundary markings as needed.

Re: Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset — Longhorn Site
Located near 2546 Marlboro Church Rd., Sophia, NC
Randleman Lake Watershed
Dear Mr. Yates,
On May 21, 2019, Katie Merritt, with the Division of Water Resources (DWR), received a request
from Clearwater Mitigation Solutions (CMS) for an onsite mitigation determination near the above -
referenced site (Site). The Site is located within the Randleman Lake Watershed of the Cape Fear
River Basin in the 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Code 03030003. The Site is being proposed as part of a
full -delivery riparian buffer mitigation project for the Division of Mitigation Services (RFP #16-
007703). On June 19, 2019, Ms. Merritt performed an onsite assessment of riparian land uses
adjacent to streams and channels onsite, which are shown on the attached map labeled "Mitigation
Plan Layout". Staff from the Division of Mitigation Services were also present onsite.
Ms. Merritt's evaluation of the features onsite and their associated mitigation determination for the
riparian areas are provided in the table below. This evaluation was made from Top of Bank JOB)
and landward 200' from each feature for buffer mitigation pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295
(effective November 1, 2015).

'The area of preservation credit within a buffer mitigation site shall comprise of no more than 25 percent (25%) of the total area of buffer
mitigation per 15A NCAC 0295 (o)(5) and 15A NCAC 0295 (o)(4). Site cannot be a Preservation Only site to comply with this rule.
4T'he area described as an Enhancement Site was assessed and determined to comply with all 15A NCAC 02B .0295(o)(6). Cattle
exclusion fencing is required to be installed around the mitigation area to get buffer credit under this part of the rule.
5AI1 features proposed for buffer mitigation or nutrient offset, must have a conservation easement established that includes the tops of
channel banks when being measured perpendicular and landward from the banks, even when no credit is viable within the 50' riparian
buffer.
The map attached to this letter was prepared by CMS and initialed by Ms. Merritt on July 30, 2019.
This letter does not constitute an approval of this site to generate mitigation credits. Pursuant to 15A
NCAC 02B .0295, a mitigation plan shall be submitted to DWR for written approval prior to
conducting any mitigation activities in riparian areas and/or surface waters for buffer mitigation
credit. Where riparian areas adjacent to ponds are fully or partially proposed for buffer mitigation
credit, the entire pond must be protected with a permanent conservation easement to be viable to
generate buffer mitigation credits. Otherwise, additional measures as determined by DWR will be
required to be viable to generate mitigation credits.
All vegetative plantings, performance criteria and other mitigation requirements for riparian
restoration, enhancement and preservation must follow the requirements in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 to
be eligible for riparian buffer mitigation credits.
