Martin Dairy Buffer Mitigation Site
Monitoring Year 2 Annual Report 2
Section 1: PROJECT OVERVIEW
1.1 Project Summary
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. (Wildlands) implemented a full delivery project at the Martin Dairy
Mitigation Site (“Site”) for the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Division of
Mitigation Services (DMS) to restore a total of 2,135 linear feet (LF) of perennial streams in Orange
County, NC. The Site included the restoration of two unnamed tributaries (Martin Dairy Creek and UT1).
The project also restored 10.139 acres (441,654.84 ft2) of riparian buffer at the Site, which will provide
379,169.330 Riparian Buffer Credits. The project Site was planned, designed, and constructed on land
surrounding Martin Dairy Creek and its tributaries. The Site is located approximately eight miles
northeast of Hillsborough, NC and eight miles south of Caldwell, NC (Figure 1) in the Neuse River Basin
8-Digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03020201. The project is located within a DMS targeted watershed
for the Neuse River Basin Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03020201030030 and NC Division of Water
Resources (DWR) Subbasin 03-04-01. The Site drains to Buckwater Creek, which flows to Falls Lake,
which is classified as water supply waters (WS-IV) and nutrient sensitive waters (NSW). The 11.155 acre
site is protected with a permanent conservation easement.
The project has been planned, designed and constructed per the Martin Dairy Mitigation Plan (2017)
and the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (effective November 1, 2015). The
purpose of the riparian buffer restoration is to provide riparian buffer credits to compensate for buffer
impacts within the Hydrologic Unit Code 03020201 and the Falls Lake Watershed. The service area for
the Riparian Buffer Credits is depicted in Figure 2. The mitigation credits generated from this Site are
listed in Table 1 and shown in Figure 3.
1.2 Project Goals and Objectives
Prior to construction activities, the primary degradation on the Site was the original clearing of the Site
and channelization of Martin Dairy Creek and UT1. The channelization involved straightening and
deepening of the stream (as indicated by the amount of dredge spoil in the floodplain). In the past
livestock were grazed on the Site, which contributed to bank sloughing. Table 4 in Appendix 1 presents
the pre-restoration conditions in more detail. The restored riparian buffer areas within the Site will aid
in protecting water quality.
The main objective of the project was to reduce nitrogen and phosphorus loading to the Neuse River
tributaries by establishing a forested riparian buffer on land previously used for agricultural purposes.
The riparian buffer will immobilize nutrients, reducing quantities available to downstream aquatic
ecosystems in the Neuse River Basin.
11.115 acres of land were protected with a conservation easement. Out of the 11.155 acres, 10.139
acres were restored for Neuse River buffer credit and 1.017 acres will not generate buffer mitigation
credit. In general, riparian buffer restoration area widths on streams extend out to 200 feet from top of
bank for Neuse River buffer credits. Maps detailing the credit generation are provided in Figure 3.
1.3 Monitoring Year 2 Data Assessment
The final mitigation plan was submitted and accepted by DMS in March 2017. Construction activities
were completed by Land Mechanic Designs, Inc in July 2017. The planting was completed by Bruton
Natural Systems, Inc. in December 2017. The baseline as-built survey for the stream mitigation work was
completed by Turner Land Surveying in August 2017 and for the buffer mitigation component in January
2018. Monitoring Year 1 vegetation survey was completed September 2018. Refer to Appendix 1 for
detailed project activity, history, contact information, and watershed/site background information.
Martin Dairy Buffer Mitigation Site
Monitoring Year 2 Annual Report 3
Vegetative performance for buffer restoration areas will be in accordance with 15A NCAC
02B .0295(n)(2)(B), and (n)(4) (effective November 1, 2015). To meet success criteria, areas generating
buffer mitigation credits shall include a minimum of four native hardwood tree species or four native
hardwood tree and native shrub species, where no one species is greater than 50 percent of stems, and
have a survival of 260 planted stems per acre at the end of the required monitoring period (MY5) (no
interim success criteria required). In order for the monitoring to be terminated, DWR must provide a
written approval of vegetation success of buffer restoration areas generating buffer credit. Annual
monitoring was conducted to assess the condition of the vegetation in September 2019.
1.3.1 Vegetative Assessment
The quantity of monitoring vegetation plots was determined in accordance with the Carolina Vegetative
Sampling Protocol (CVS Levels II) such that at least two (2) percent of the Site is encompassed in
monitoring plots. A total of eight (8) vegetation plots (10 meters by 10 meters) were randomly
established between the conservation easement boundaries and five feet from the top of stream banks.
The plot corners have been marked and are recoverable either through field identification or with the
use of a GPS unit. Reference photographs will be taken at the origin looking diagonally across the plot to
the opposite corner on an annual basis. Species composition, density, and survival rates will be
evaluated on an annual basis by plot and for the entire site. The extent of invasive species coverage will
also be monitored and controlled as necessary.
The Monitoring Year 2 (MY2 of 5) vegetative survey was completed in September 2019. The 2019 annual
vegetation monitoring resulted in an average survivability of 405 stems per acre, which is greater than
the final requirement of 260 stems per acre, but approximately 32% less than the baseline density
recorded (597 stems/acre) in January 2018. There was an average of 10 stems per plot compared to 14
stems per plot in MY0. Vegetation Plot 7 had an increased tree mortality rate from MY0 to MY2 due to
herbaceous competition from Alligator Weed (Alternanthera philoxeroides). Vegetation Plot 7 is on track
to meet the MY5 success criteria of 260 stems per acre but exceeds requirements by less than 10
percent with 283 planted stems per acre. Even with herbaceous competition, several volunteers were
assessed in the plot including green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) and buttonbush (Cephalanthus
occidentalis), bringing the total stems per acre to 405, exceeding the success requirements by more than
10 percent. The Site is on track to meet its final success criteria. Please refer to Appendix 3 for
vegetation plot criteria attainment data, CVS vegetation plot metadata, and vegetation summary tables
and Appendix 2 for vegetation plot photographs, vegetation condition assessment table, and monitoring
plan view.
Tree vigor along UT1 was good but is not performing as well as the rest of the Site. This is likely due to
floodplain grading during construction. Approximately 100 pounds of biochar, rock phosphate, azomite,
and humic acid was added to the floodplain to promote tree growth during MY2. Remedial action will be
taken as necessary in subsequent monitoring years to promote tree growth.
1.4 Monitoring Year 2 Summary
Overall, the Site has met the required vegetation success criteria for MY2. All the vegetation plots met
the MY2 success criteria as seen in the monitoring components map. While tree mortality rate in
Vegetation Plot 7 increased, it is still meeting the success criteria and with volunteers is on track to
exceed the success criteria with 405 stems per acre. At this time no remedial actions are proposed.

Section 2: METHODOLOGY
Planted woody vegetation was monitored in accordance with the guidelines and procedures developed
by the Carolina Vegetation Survey-EEP Level 2 Protocol (Lee et al., 2006). A total of eight standard 10
meter by 10-meter vegetation plots were established within the project easement area.
