After review, DMS offers the following comments: Tar River Wetlands: 1. The picture on the front page is the same as MY2. Suggest adding a new picture to represent MY3. 2. Table 2. Update Year 3 monitoring dates. 3. Table 7. Update table header to show MY3 (instead of MY2) 4. Hydroperiod (Table 8). IRT will likely want to see % for all gauges over the monitoring period. Suggest this MY and future years create a table that shows hydroperiod by gauge by year. Tar River Stream and Ditch: 1. Project success criteria for the riparian buffer is 260 stems per acre (planted and volunteer). Update report to show project is meeting success. If needed, insert this from Mitigation Plan, “Performance standards were established to verify that the vegetation component supports community elements necessary for forest development and the maintenance of diffuse flow through the riparian buffer in accordance with North Carolina Division of Water Resources Administrative Code 15A NCAC 02B.0295 (Mitigation Program Requirements for Protection and Maintenance of Riparian Buffers). Performance standards are dependent upon the density and growth of at least four native hardwood tree species where no one species is greater than 50% of the stems. After five years of monitoring, an average density of 260 woody stems per acre must be surviving and diffuse flow maintained.” 2. During the DWR review period, Katie Merritt found an error on the MY2 asset table. Please update the report to remove the nutrient offset credit in the stream section, and add the asterisks as shown below: Please submit 1 hard copy and an electronic copy of the final report, and ensure bonding is up to date before submitting your invoice.

Project Background Summary 1.1. Project Location and Setting The Tar River Headwaters Wetland Restoration Site (TRHWR) is a full-delivery wetland mitigation project located in eastern Person County, between Roxboro and Oxford, North Carolina, within the Piedmont Physiographic Province (Figure 1). The easement comprises 9.98 acres, most of which is drained and degraded wetlands or former wetlands with hydric soil indicators. The remaining areas include non-hydric soils, drainage ditches, and a 570-foot long riparian corridor along a ditch and intermittent stream connecting the TRHWR site to the adjacent Tar River Headwaters Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Mitigation Bank project. Both projects are implemented by Mogensen Mitigation, Inc. (MMI), and are located on a 228-acre farm owned by Roy and Joyce Huff, in the Tar-Pamlico River Basin 12-digit HUC # 03020101-0102. The Huff Farm property is located at 333 Bunnie Huff Road, Oxford NC 27565. The access road into the TRHWR site is at Latitude = 36.3913, Longitude = -78.8171. 1.2. Pre-Restoration Conditions The TRHWR site was cleared and ditched for pasture use in the 1940s according to the owner, and was used for grazing cattle until January 2017 when the conservation easement fence was installed. The project involves plugging drainage ditches to restore wetland hydrology, fencing to exclude livestock, and planting native trees and shrubs to restore a Headwater Forest wetland ecosystem similar to what occurred prior to site clearing and drainage. Remnant native trees left for shade, hydrophytic groundcover plants mixed among the pasture grasses, and plant species recorded in adjacent natural forests (on the same soil mapping unit) provided data for the planting plan. The project will restore approximately 7.65 acres of headwater riparian wetland (6.53 acres reestablishment plus 1.12 acres rehabilitation) and will generate an estimated 7.28 or more riparian wetland mitigation credits. Approximately 1.27 acres with non-hydric soils in the southeast corner of the mitigation site will also be reforested, and a 100-foot wide by 570-ft long riparian corridor (1.06 acre) extending southeastward along the ditch will connect the TRHWR site to MMI’s adjacent stream restoration and nutrient buffer bank project to the south. Total acreage of the wetland mitigation site and riparian connector is 9.98 acres. Restoration activities including tree planting, surface flow dispersal, and cattle exclusion will reduce soil erosion and nutrient-enriched runoff from adjacent pasture and cropland within its watershed, and help retain agricultural chemicals used on these lands. It is expected to improve water quality and habitat in the receiving tributary and reduce fine sediment loading which will enhance the overall watershed particularly in the adjacent stream and nutrient mitigation bank. 1.3. Mitigation Goals and Performance Criteria The subject watershed HUC #03020101-0102 is designated by NCDEQ as a Targeted Local Watershed (TLW) for water quality improvement projects, and the Tar River reach within and downstream of this local HUC is recognized as a Significant Natural Heritage Area (SNHA) for its high diversity of aquatic life including protected species of river mussels and fishes. The TRHWR project is intended to support Tar River Headwaters Wetland Restoration Site #97071 Person County – Tar-Pam HUC 03020101 3 MY-3 (2019) Annual Monitoring Report Mogensen Mitigation Inc. MMI these TLW and SNHA designations by improving water quality and habitat on the property and downstream. Specific project goals and objectives as identified in the TRHWR Final Mitigation Plan (December 2016) include: GOALS: • Restore the natural jurisdictional wetland hydro-period to five or more acres of forested wetland within a nine-acre site; • Restore forested wetland habitat and improve habitat connectivity between Denny Store Gabbro Forest (NHP Natural Heritage Area) to the north and the Tar River tributaries; • Buffer storm water runoff from fecal and other cattle-related pollutants and fertilizer. OBJECTIVES: • Plug existing ditches and create sheet flows throughout the site. Aerate soils to reduce compaction, improve infiltration, and create micro-topography to retain surface flows; • Preserve the remnant mature Swamp White Oaks (a regionally rare species) for seed source. Plant appropriate native hardwood trees at a sufficient frequency to establish a diverse bottomland wetland forest. Treat and/or remove invasive species which may cause problems for site restoration, including Chinese privet and multi-flora rose; • Install fencing to exclude cattle and establish a conservation easement to provide permanent protection on the site. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS and MONITORING: GOAL OBJECTIVE PERFORMANCE STANDARD MONITORING APPROACH Restore natural hydro-period for headwater forest wetland. Plug existing ditches and create sheet flow throughout the site. Aerate soils to reduce compaction, improve infiltration, and create micro- topography to retain surface flows. Water must be on or within 12 inches of the surface for 10% of the growing season. Hydrographs will indicate jurisdictional hydrology. Use 11 shallow groundwater self-reading gauges throughout the site at a frequency of about one per acre. Visual inspection of ponding duration. Restore forested wetland habitat and improve habitat connectivity with existing forests. Preserve mature swamp white oak trees for seed source. Plant appropriate native hardwood trees at 10-ft average spacing (435 stems/ac) Treat invasive species. Survival of 320 stems per acre at year 3, 260 stems per acre at year 5 and 210 stems per acre at MY 7. Monitor vegetation plots annually and calculate densities of surviving planted & volunteer stems. Buffer storm water runoff from fecal and other cattle-related nutrient inputs. Plant trees, fence perimeter and establish a permanent conservation easement. Insure the integrity of the cattle exclusion fencing for the life of the contract. Visual inspection will note fence condition through site pictures. Observations will be included in annual monitoring reports. Tar River Headwaters Wetland Restoration Site #97071 Person County – Tar-Pam HUC 03020101 4 MY-3 (2019) Annual Monitoring Report Mogensen Mitigation Inc. MMI 1.4. Mitigation Approach Prior to restoration, the TRHWR project area contained 6.53 acres of former riparian wetland (ditched and drained, grazed pasture) with redoximorphic soil characteristics indicating hydric soils, but lacking adequate wetland hydrology based on groundwater gauge data and field observations during 2015-2016. Although the drainage ditches are shallow, they have effectively reduced water retention across much of the site over the past 70 years due to the slow infiltration rate, rapid runoff, and shallow hardpan in these soils. The project will re-establish jurisdictional wetlands in this area by plugging the drainage ditches to increase rainfall retention and dispersal, fencing out livestock, controlling invasive species, and planting suitable native tree species. These 6.53 acres of wetland restoration will generate riparian wetland credits at 1:1 ratio, yielding 6.53 WMU. Another 1.12 acres in the TRHWR project area has been less effectively drained by the ditches, and still has sufficient hydrology to meet jurisdictional wetland criteria, based on groundwater gauge data and field observations during 2015-2016. The project will rehabilitate these areas of degraded jurisdictional wetland (grazed pasture with reduced hydrology) by plugging ditches to increase hydrology, fencing out livestock, and planting suitable native tree species. These 1.12 acres of wetland rehabilitation will generate riparian wetland credits at 1.5:1 ratio, yielding 0.75 WMU. TRHWR project components and mitigations assets are summarized in Table 1, matching the proposed assets in the Mitigation Plan. 2.0. Monitoring Methods Vegetation plots are monitored annually in accordance with current DMS monitoring guidance (June 2017). The nine installed CVS vegetation plots, each 10 x 10 meters, represents 2.8 percent of the planted mitigation area. Vegetation monitoring will occur between September and early November, prior to the loss of leaves. The vegetation success criteria are specified in the Performance Standards above. If success criteria are not met, site maintenance and monitoring will continue until the success criteria are met. The twelve onsite groundwater monitoring gauges (RDS and Hobo) and one offsite reference wetland gauge are downloaded and maintained at least quarterly. Gauge data in the mitigation credit areas are plotted and evaluated for success based on the mitigation plan performance standard of continuous saturation within 12 inches of the ground surface for 10 percent of the growing season. Growing season based on air temperature at a weather station east of Roxboro is from March 28 to November 3, which is 221 days (from USDA WETS table). MMI installed a Hobo dual-probe soil temperature logger near the middle of the TRHWR site (beside GW-H) in late January 2017. Soil temperature on the site remained above 41 F at both 10-inch and 20-inch depths throughout February and March 2017. The lowest temperatures recorded were 42.7 F at 10 inches and 45.4 F at 20 inches. Based on soil temperatures remaining above the USDA-designated temperature for plant physiological activity, March 1 is used as the start of the growing season, based on field discussions with DMS and USACE. The revised growing season length is thus 248 days, and the groundwater hydrology success criterion is 25 days. Subsequent soil temperature data from 2018 and 2019 confirm the use of March 1 as an acceptable start date. The conservation easement perimeter fence and ditch plug integrity will be monitored visually and documented with photo points. Tar River Headwaters Wetland Restoration Site #97071 Person County – Tar-Pam HUC 03020101 5 MY-3 (2019) Annual Monitoring Report Mogensen Mitigation Inc. MMI 3.0. Current Conditions Summary Groundwater gauge data for 2019 were collected from January 1 through November 5; CVS vegetation plot data and photos were collected in September. MMI scientists made several visits to the TRHWR site between February and November 2019 to collect gauge data and evaluate the condition of the ditches, ditch plugs, and planted and volunteer trees. All nine CVS plots had 8 or more surviving trees (planted plus native volunteer hardwoods, excluding sweetgum) and met the 320 stems per acre success criteria (Tables 6 and 7). Outside of the CVS plots, planted stem survival looks generally good throughout the site, with an estimated 10 to 20 percent apparent mortality. Leader die-back is common on many of the taller seedlings, especially on tulip poplar and river birch, but many of the trees exhibiting leader die-back also had vigorous basal sprouts. There are scattered small areas with tree densities less than 320 stems per acre, but none exceeding the “problem area” size threshold, and no “low woody density” areas or “invasive exotic” problem areas were designated this year. Groundcover vegetation is excellent throughout, with both treated areas (non-wetland and drained wetland) and non-treated areas (existing wetland) showing dense and diverse herbaceous cover. Small unflagged trees outside of the CVS plots remain difficult to see due to the dense groundcover. All ditch plugs appear to be stable and performing as designed. Survival of planted trees, live-stakes, and herbaceous cover on the plug slopes and tops appears to be providing good protection; no erosion on the plugs was observed. Ponding behind each of the ditch plugs was evident during spring and early summer, but were dry during late summer and fall. Twelve groundwater gauges (A through L) on the project site are roughly arranged in four transects perpendicular to the main ditch, as recommended by mitigation plan reviewers during field meetings (Figure 2). Three gauges (A, H and J) are within existing wetland rehabilitation areas, seven gauges (D, E, F, G, I, L, and K) are within the drained wetland reestablishment areas, and two gauges (B and C) are downslope from ditch plug #4 in areas not expected to generate wetland credits. Wetland hydrology success for the TRHWR site is based on saturation within 12 inches of the ground surface for 10% of the 248-day growing season (March 1 to November 3). The gauges measure the free water table depth and do not account for capillary fringe saturation which can extend above the free water table in fine-textured soils (https://vernonjames.ces.ncsu.edu/eleventh-annual-on-site/soil-wetness/). Rainfall in 2019, relative to the 30-year normal values (30th to 70th percentiles), was normal to high during January to April, and generally low for the rest of the growing season except for a few days of heavy rain in June (Figure 5). In 2019 all 13 gauges (ten in the mitigation credit area, two outside the credit area, and one off-site reference gauge) exceeded the minimum of 25 consecutive days for hydrologic success during the early part of the growing season, with consecutive day saturation periods ranging from 34 to 64 days (Table 8). Soil temperature data for 2019 support the accepted growing season start date of March 1. Soil temperature remained above 41 F from January 28 onward, and the lowest recorded soil temperature after March 1 was 42.8 F on March 8.
