Wetland Restoration Plan
Sea Wynde Plantation
Shallotte NC
Brunswick County
I Introduction
On September 18 2008 a site visit was conducted at the Sea Wynde Plantation property located in
Shallotte N C (the Property) by Ms Jennifer Frye and Ms Kimberly Garvey of the US Army Corps
of Engineers (COE) A subsequent letter from the COE staff stated that unpermitted activities had
occurred in potential Section 404 wetlands adjacent to Sharron Creek a tributary to the Shallotte
River (Figures 1 3) These actions include mechanized land clearing and placement of fill material
associated with infrastructure installation in Phase I (Figure 7) In addition Ms Frye and Ms
Garvey documented recent land disturbing activities in Phase III (Figure 8) including mechanized
land clearing utility installation and construction of a pond which resulted in significant discharge
of fill material into Section 404 wetlands No Section 404 violations in Phase II were noted at the
time A formal letter from the COE to the property owner Mr Adam Lisk of Cumbee Road
Partners LLC describing the violations of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act was issued on
September 23 2008 The federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has since assumed
primary enforcement responsibility for this matter The responsible party and current property
owner Cumbee Road Partners LLC has not acted to address any of the wetlands violations
identified by EPA and the COE and has essentially abandoned the project
The Gateway Bank & Trust Company a division of the Bank of Hampton Roads ( Gateway Bank )
which is the lead bank for a group of lenders to Cumbee Road Partners LLC that hold a Deed of
Trust to the Property has initiated foreclosure proceedings However prior to continuing the
foreclosure process Gateway Bank is seeking to reach agreement with EPA and the COE
concerning the extent of restoration activity required to be performed by Gateway Bank (or other
prospective purchaser of the property) to ensure resolution of all existing wetlands related
violations relative to a future property owner Accordingly Gateway Bank retained Land
Management Group Inc (LMG) to conduct an impact site assessment delineate wetlands assist
in the preparation of the necessary restoration plan and help to resolve regulatory compliance
issues
Phase I of Sea Wynde is associated with a valid Jurisdictional Determination (Action Id
200500883 expiring 10/7/2010) This Jurisdictional Determination was signed by the COE
approximately two years before Mr Lisk and partners acquired the tract LMG performed the
wetland delineation in 2005 for Mr Al Larson former owner of the tract To determine the amount
of unauthorized wetland impacts in Phase I LMG contracted Mr Bobby Long PLS to reestablish
the wetland flags in the areas that appeared to be impacted by construction activities Mr Long
had originally surveyed the wetland flags in 2005 In addition the wetlands survey conducted by
Mr Long was overlayed on a 2008 aerial photograph to assist in the determination of which
wetland areas were impacted
LMG conducted field investigations on April 7 8 and 13 2010 delineating existing wetlands and
the extent of land disturbance in Phase III A copy of the wetland data package that was sent to
the COE to request a Jurisdictional Determination is included in Appendix A Delineations were
based on the 1987 Wetland Delineation Manual and 2008 Interim Regional Supplement to the
Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region, published
by the COE which utilizes the 3 parameters of hydnc soils hydrology and vegetation to define the
limits of Jurisdictional areas Locations of Section 404 wetlands and disturbed areas were
approximated using handheld GPS equipment and a sketch was prepared LMG had previously
delineated wetlands in Phase III for Mr Lisk in 2006 along with other firms although these
delineations were never verified by the COE
Following these investigations LMG met on site with Ms Jennifer Frye of the COE and Mr Chad
Coburn of the NC Division of Water Quality on May 6 2010 In Phase I the review of impacted
wetland areas was aided by wooden stakes marking the original COE verified wetland flags
courtesy of Mr Long At the meeting Ms Frye pointed out specific areas where wetlands had
been disturbed Following the meeting LMG calculated that 0 36 acres of wetlands were disturbed
in Phase I (Figure 7) In Phase III numerous soil pits and borings were inspected to confirm the
recent delineation conducted by LMG After Ms Frye made minor adjustments to the wetland
delineation boundaries the total area of potential wetlands disturbed in Phase III (Figure 8) by
mostly mechanized land clearing activities was surveyed by Mr Bobby Long and confirmed to be
5 61 acres
The following report identifies proposed restoration activities to be conducted by Gateway Bank to
remediate Cumbee Road Partners LLC s unauthorized disturbances to wetlands on the site in the
event Gateway Bank proceeds with foreclosure and acquires title to the Property
Site Description
The site is located at the intersection of Cumbee Road and US Hwy 17 in Brunswick County NC
(Figure 1) According to Brunswick County tax parcel records the Property was recently annexed
by the Town of Shallotte The center of the site is located at Longitude 78 20698 W and Latitude
33 98866 N The majority of wetlands on the site are classified as pocosin and mineral pine flats
A review of NRCS sod maps for the area show only three soil mapping units throughout Phases I
and III (Figure 4) The wetlands on site are generally mapped as Leon fine sand The Leon series
consists of poorly drained soils that formed in coarse textured sediment A typical pedon of Leon
fine sand exhibits a dark gray fine sandy surface layer followed by a dark brown to black layer of
weakly cemented fine sand Although Leon is included on the national list of hydnc sods many
areas of Brunswick County mapped as Leon soils lack the hydrology to be classified as
Jurisdictional wetlands However some areas containing Leon sods do meet the hydrology
criterion largely due to the retention of precipitation above weakly cemented shallow hardpan
(spodic) sod strata
Uplands on the site are mapped as Baymeade fine sand (both phases) and Mandarin fine sand
(Phase I only) These sod units are generally in higher elevations and are sandier and better
drained than Leon fine sands The Baymeade series consists of well drained soils that formed in
moderately coarse textured sediment A typical pedon includes a light gray fine sandy surface
followed by very pale brown fine sand The Mandarin series consists of somewhat poorly drained
soils that formed in coarse textured sediment Mandarin fine sand typically exhibits a shallow gray
sandy surface followed by an eluviated layer of white fine sand Below this layer lies a dark brown
to black layer of weakly cemented sandy spodic material Mandarin soils are often located on the
upland sand rims of Carolina bays
Vegetation in the disturbed areas has largely been removed by the mechanized land clearing
activities However the vegetation in the undisturbed wetlands likely represents what existed in
the impacted wetlands prior to disturbance In the pocosin areas (most Phase I wetlands and the
eastern side of Phase III) canopy species such as pond pine (Pmus serotina) and loblolly pine
(Pmus taeda) were found throughout the intact portions of the wetland system The understory
vegetation of these areas were characterized by laurel leaf greenbriar (Smilax launfolla) fetterbush
(Lyonla lucida) gallberry (llexglabra) and tits (Cyrdla racemlflora) Going west in Phase III the
pocosin wetlands gradually transition into the mineral pine flats Although no undisturbed wetland
mineral pine flats remain on site anecdotal observations from the 2006 delineation performed by
LMG recall similar vegetation to the pocosins except for the lack of pond pine and the replacement
of laurel leaf greenbriar with common greenbriar (Smilax rotundifolia) The subtle differences
between the true pocosin wetlands on site and the mineral pine flats likely represent subtle
elevation changes coupled with a reduction in sod organic matter decrease in duration of
saturation and sdvicultural management of the loblolly pines
III Restoration Plan For Phase I and Phase III
A ditch was noted in a portion of an apparent wetland area in Phase II during the above referenced
May 6 2010 on site meeting but it was determined to be of minor impact and that no restoration in
Phase II or mitigation would be required by Gateway Bank or other subsequent owner to
address prior impacts to any wetlands in Phase II Therefore this plan addresses restoration of
impacts to Phase I and Phase III of the property
Phase I
Phase I impacts largely consist of road crossings and associated fill material adjacent to the
constructed roads for road shoulders and utilities Removal of these roads would be
counterproductive to future land use of the tract Therefore the roads should be left in place
pursuant to an after the fact permit to be issued to Gateway Bank and the amount of impacts
associated with the road crossings will be mitigated at a 11 ratio with credits purchased from the
Stone Farm Mitigation Bank and all remaining wetlands in Phase 1 will be subject to a
Conservation Declaration The Stone Farm Mitigation Bank also located in Brunswick County
services the same watershed as the project area and has provided LMG with written confirmation
that credits are available (See attached confirmation) Based on preliminary calculations by LMG
a total of 0 2 credits will likely need to be purchased to mitigate for 014 acres of impacts from
roads left in place Fifteen feet wide road shoulders will be left in place to accommodate a five feet
wide concrete sidewalk Any unpermitted existing road shoulders outside of this area will be
removed and these wetlands will be restored Initial work will focus on the removal of fill material
Grading activities will then be conducted to establish proper side slopes Prior to the initiation of
any earth work proper sediment and erosion control measures will be installed to ensure that
turbidity and nutrient pollution do not affect adjacent waterbodies during construction Although it is
anticipated that with the removal of the sandy nutrient poor fill material natural recolomzation of
the area from adjacent seed bank sources will quickly revegetate the area with appropriate local
species an appropriate wetland seed mix also will be deployed in the area to facilitate
recolomzation Also based on observations during the on site agency meeting and the nature of
the spodic material inherent in these sods wetland hydrology will likely be restored naturally in a
relatively short time frame
LMG will subsequently conduct visual monitoring of the wetland recovery in Phase I and will
provide the EPA and COE with a report of the status of the wetland recovery based on the restored
area s condition at least one year after completion of the restoration work Wetland hydrology will
be monitored via visual inspection of field indicators and best professional judgment as specified in
the 1987 Wetland Delineation Manual and 2008 Interim Regional Supplement to the Corps of
Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region If LMG s report
does not reasonably demonstrate to the EPA and/or the COE that 75% or greater of the restored
area has endemic species present and wetland hydrology has been restored then LMG will submit
a follow up report to the EPA and COE annually until LMG has reasonably demonstrated to EPA
and/or the COE that 75% or greater of the restored area in Phase I has endemic species present
and that wetland hydrology has been restored If vegetative and /or hydrologic success criteria are
not expected to be met based on initial monitoring then a contingency plan will be developed and
implemented to ensure that restoration of wetland functions will occur
Also as part of the mitigation plan all remaining wetlands in Phase I including those areas to be
restored will be placed under a Conservation Declaration given the existing impacts associated
with road crossings and that the Town of Shallotte has approved a site development plan for Phase
I Informative signs will be posted to limit encroachment into the wetlands
Phase III
Phase III impacts appear to be a result of both excavation (mechanized scraping of the sod
surface) and fill activities On the eastern side of Phase III an earthen berm or spoil pile roughly
parallels the wetland line This berm appears to be the sod that was excavated from the sod
surface of the wetlands to the east of the berm Therefore the sod material constituting this berm
will be spread out over the wetlands to the east after all fill material is removed It is evident from
recent vegetative growth on the berm that this sod material contains a natural pocosin seed bank
Due to the presence of this seed bank it is anticipated that this area will quickly revegetate
naturally although an appropriate wetland seed mix also will be deployed Also due to the
properties of the incipient spodic layer of the Leon sod wetland hydrology should quickly return
without the need of man made hydrologic modifications Once hydrology returns the hydnc sod
properties should begin to reappear
West and north of the earthen berm there appears to be approximately 2 feet of fill material on
average in the wetlands Restoration activities will primarily involve the removal of this fill material
Once this fill material is removed any remaining soil material from the earthen berm will be spread
out on the sod surface to promote the recolonization of vegetation from the natural wetland seed
bank and an appropriate wetland seed mix also will be used Because hydrology will likely return
on its own no monitoring is proposed for any of the restoration areas at the Property
Also on the west side of the earthen berm several concrete utility pipes and associated holes and
ditches currently exist As part of the restoration plan any pipes or other foreign impervious
materials in wetland areas will be removed The associated holes and ditches will be filled in as
the wetland is restored to its natural grade and elevation All stormwater catch basins in wetlands
will be restored back to grade
Near the southern property boundary Mr Lisk dug a linear shaped pond that roughly parallels the
boundary A small portion of this pond appears to have been excavated in wetlands and was not
authorized The portion of this pond that lies within the recently COE approved wetland boundary
will be filled in as part of the restoration plan Re establishment of vegetation and hydrology will
follow the guidelines set forth in the previously described areas of the tract
All on site construction activities will be supervised by LMG staff to ensure that the restoration plan
is correctly applied and that proper erosion control methods are observed LMG will subsequently
conduct visual monitoring of the wetland recovery in Phase III and will provide the EPA and COE
with a report of the status of the wetland recovery based on the restored area s condition at least
one year after completion of the restoration work Wetland hydrology will be monitored via visual
inspection of field indicators and best professional judgment as specified in the 1987 Wetland
Delineation Manual and 2008 Interim Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland
Delineation Manual Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region If LMG s report does not reasonably
demonstrate to the EPA and/or the COE that 75% or greater of the restored area has endemic
species present and wetland hydrology has been restored then LMG will submit a follow up report
to the EPA and COE annually until LMG has reasonably demonstrated to EPA and /or the COE that
75% or greater of the restored area in Phase III has endemic species present and that wetland
hydrology has been restored If vegetative and /or hydrologic success criteria are not expected to
be met based on initial monitoring then a contingency plan will be developed and implemented to
ensure that restoration of wetland functions will occur
Upon concurrence of this plan by the COE and Gateway Banks acquisition of title to the Property
through the foreclosure process restoration activities will be initiated The COE will be notified of
completion of such activities to ensure that the area is adequately restored The following list
summarizes the wetland mitigation activities noted above
1) Phase I — Remove sod /fill down to natural grade over the 0 22 acre area to be restored
and put up new silt fence along edges of denuded site estimated to be 968 feet in length
It is anticipated that revegetation from adjoining undisturbed wetlands will colonize these
denuded /restored wetland areas although an appropriate wetland seed mix also will be
used
2) Phase III — Remove sod /fill that has been stockpiled on the 5 61 acres down to natural
grade and remove man made structures concrete pipe stone etc Install new silt fence
where needed around perimeter of denuded areas and back fill depressions holes and
ditches as noted The amount of new silt fence required is estimated to be 3 584 feet in
length Spread top sod strippings over denuded area and deploy an appropriate wetland
seed mix to assist in revegetation of disturbed areas
3) Prepare a wetland map for Phase I and describe the boundaries by metes and bound
descriptions for a Conservation Declaration that will apply to the remaining 18 72 wetland
acres in Phase 1
4) Purchase mitigation credits from an approved mitigation bank of 0 2 acres in order to offset
allowing the asphalt roadways and concrete curbing to remain and future installation of
sidewalk

Remarks
Hydrology has possibly been impacted by compaction and subterranean drainage features The water table was
estimated at the time of observation to be >24 Inches below the natural soil surface This observation along with
previous undocumented observations and the lack of hydrology Indicators in the soil supports the determination that
this location lacks wetland hydrology

Remarks (If observed list morphological adaptations Deiow)
Clearing and fill activities have removed the original vegetation Previous undocumented observations and aerial
photography show that the vegetation had already been altered by sllvicultural activities (young pines dominant prior to
most recent clearing) A suitable reference site to compare vegetation was unable to be located Regardless of the
species composition the area likely would have met hydrophytic veg cnterla prior to disturbance

19 40 C F R § 232 2 and 33 C F R § 328 3(b) define wetlands as' [t]hose areas that are
inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and
that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in
saturated soil conditions '
20 The Discharge Area includes "navigable waters' as that term is defined in Section 502(7)
of the CWA, 33 U S C § 1362(7)
21 Each discharge of pollutants into navigable waters without the required permit issued
under Section 404 of the CWA 33 U S C § 1344, is a violation of Section 301(a) of the CWA, 33 U S C
§ 1311(a)
22 Each day the unauthorized dredged and/or fill material remains in navigable waters without
the required permit under Section 404 of the CWA, 33 U S C § 1344, constitutes a day of violation of
Section 301 of the CWA, 33 U S C § 1311

Wetland Restoration Plan
Wetland Restoration Plan
Sea Wynde Plantation
Shallotte, NC
Brunswick County
I Introduction
On September 18, 2008 a site visit was conducted at the Sea Wynde Plantation property located in
Shallotte N C (the Property) by Ms Jennifer Frye and Ms Kimberly Garvey of the US Army Corps
of Engineers (COE) A subsequent letter from the COE staff stated that unpermitted activities had
occurred in potential Section 404 wetlands adjacent to Sharron Creek a tributary to the Shallotte
River (Figures 1-3) These actions include mechanized land clearing and placement of fill material
associated with infrastructure installation in Phase I (Figure 7) In addition, Ms Frye and Ms
Garvey documented recent land disturbing activities in Phase III (Figure 8), including mechanized
land clearing utility installation, and construction of a pond which resulted in significant discharge
of fill material into Section 404 wetlands No Section 404 violations in Phase tl were noted at the
time A formal letter from the COE to the property owner, Mr Adam Lisk of Cumbee Road
Partners LLC describing the violations of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act was issued on
September 23 2008 The federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has since assumed
primary enforcement responsibility for this matter The responsible party and current property
owner, Cumbee Road Partners LLC has not acted to address any of the wetlands violations
identified by EPA and the COE and has essentially abandoned the project
The Gateway Bank & Trust Company a division of the Bank of Hampton Roads ( Gateway Bank")
which is the lead bank for a group of lenders to Cumbee Road Partners LLC that hold a Deed of
Trust to the Property has initiated foreclosure proceedings However, prior to continuing the
foreclosure process, Gateway Bank is seeking to reach agreement with EPA and the COE
concerning the extent of restoration activity required to be performed by Gateway Bank (or other
prospective purchaser of the property) to ensure resolution of all existing wetlands related
violations relative to a future property owner Accordingly Gateway Bank retained Land
Management Group Inc (LMG) to conduct an impact site assessment delineate wetlands assist
in the preparation of the necessary restoration plan and help to resolve regulatory compliance
Issues
Phase I of Sea Wynde is associated with a valid Jurisdictional Determination (Action Id
200500883 expiring 101712010) This Jurisdictional Determination was signed by the COE
approximately two years before Mr task and partners acquired the tract LMG performed the
wetland delineation in 2005 for Mr Al Larson former owner of the tract To determine the amount
of unauthorized wetland impacts in Phase I LMG contracted Mr Bobby Long PLS to reestablish
the wetland flags in the areas that appeared to be impacted by construction activities Mr Long
had originally surveyed the wetland flags in 2005 In addition the wetlands survey conducted by
Mr Long was overlaid on a 2006 aerial photograph to assist in the determination of which wetland
areas were impacted
LMG conducted field investigations on April 7 8 and 13 2010 delineating existing wetlands and
the extent of land disturbance in Phase IIi A copy of the wetland data package that was sent to
the COE to request -a Jurisdictional Determination is included in Appendix A Delineations were
based on the 1987 Wetland Delineation Manual and 2008 Interim Regional Supplement to the
Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region, published
by the COE which utilizes the 3 parameters of hydrrc sods hydrology and vegetation to define the
limits of jurisdictional areas Locations of Section 464 wetlands and disturbed areas were
approximated using handheld GPS egwpment, and a sketch was prepared LMG had previously
delineated wetlands in Phase III for Mr Lisk in 2006 along with other firms although these
delineations were never verified by the COE
Following these investigations, LMG met on site with Ms Jennifer Frye of the COE and Mr Chad
Coburn of the NC Division of Water Quality on May 6 2010 In Phase I the review of impacted
wetland areas was aided by wooden stakes marking the original COE venfied wetland flags
courtesy of Mr Long At the meeting Ms Frye pointed out specific areas where wetlands had
been disturbed Following the meeting LMG calculated that 0 36 acres of wetlands were disturbed
in Phase I (Figure 7) In Phase III numerous soil pits and bonngs were inspected to confirm the
recent delineation conducted by LMG After Ms Frye made minor adjustments to the wetland
delineation boundaries the total area of potential wetlands disturbed in Phase III (Figure 8) by
mostly mechanized land clearing activities was surveyed by Mr Bobby Long and confirmed to be
5 61 acres
The following report identifies proposed restoration activities to be conducted by Gateway Bank to
remediate Cumbee Road Partners LLC s unauthorized disturbances to wetlands on the site in the
event Gateway Bank proceeds with foreclosure and acquires title to the Property
Site Description
The site is located at the intersection of Cumbee Road and US Hwy 17 in Brunswick County, NC
(Figure 1) According to Brunswick County tax parcel records the Property was recently annexed
by the Town of Shallotte The center of the site is located at Longitude - 78206980 Wand Latitude
33 98866° N The majority of wetlands on the site are classified as pocosin and mineral pine flats
A review of MRCS soil maps for the area show only three soil mapping units throughout Phases I
and III (Figure 4) The wetlands on site are generally mapped as Leon fine sand The Leon series
consists of poorly drained sods that formed in coarse textured sediment. A typical pedon of Leon
fine sand exhibits a dark gray fine sandy surface layer followed by a dark brown to black layer of
weakly cemented fine sand Although Leon is included on the national list of hydnc soils many
areas of Brunswick County mapped as Leon sods lack the hydrology to be classified as
jurisdictional wetlands However some areas containing Leon soils do meet the hydrology
criterion, largely due to the retention of precipitation above weakly cemented shallow hardpan
(spodic) soil strata
Uplands on the site are mapped as Baymeade fine sand (both phases) and Mandarin fine sand
(Phase I only) These soil units are generally in higher elevations and are sandier and better
drained than Leon fine sands The Baymeade series consists of well drained sods that formed in
moderately coarse textured sediment A typical pedon includes a light gray fine sandy surface
followed by very pale brown fine sand The Mandarin series consists of somewhat poorly drained
soils that formed in coarse textured sediment Mandarin fine sand typically exhibits a shallow gray
sandy surface followed by an eluviated layer of white fine sand Below this layer lies a dark brown
to black layer of weakly cemented sandy spodic material Mandarin soils are often located on the
upland sand nms of Carolina bays
Vegetation in the disturbed areas has largely been removed by the mechanized land - cleanng
activities However, the vegetation in the undisturbed wetlands likely represents what existed in
the impacted wetlands prior to disturbance in the pocosin areas (most Phase I wetlands and the
eastern side of Phase 111), canopy species such as pond pine (Prnus serohna) and loblolly pine
(Prnus taeda) were found throughout the intact portions of the wetland system The understory
vegetation of these areas were characterized by laurel leaf greenbriar (Smilax launfolia) fetterbush
(Lyonra lucida) gallberry (Hex glabra) and tib (Cynila racemrflora) Going west in Phase III the
pocosin wetlands gradually transition into the mineral pine flats Although no undisturbed wetland
mineral pine flats remain on site, anecdotal observations from the 2006 delineation performed by
LMG recall similar vegetation to the pocosins except for the lack of pond pine and the replacement
of laurel leaf greenbnar with common greenbnar (Smilax rotundifolia) The subtle differences
between the true pocosin wetlands on site and the mineral pine flats likely represent subtle
elevation changes coupled with a reduction in soil organic matter decrease in duration of
saturation and silvicultural management of the loblolly pines
III Restoration Plan For Phase 1 and Phase III
A ditch was noted in a portion of an apparent wetland area in Phase 11 during the above - referenced
May 6 2010 on -site meeting, but it was determined to be of minor impact and that no restoration m
Phase 11 or mitigation would be required by Gateway Bank or other subsequent owner to
address prior impacts to any wetlands in Phase it Therefore this plan addresses restoration of
impacts to Phase I and Phase III of the property
Phase I
Phase I impacts largely consist of road crossings and associated fill material adjacent to the
constructed roads for road shoulders and utilities Removal of these roads would be
counterproductive to future land use of the tract Therefore, the roads should be left in place
pursuant to an after the -fact permit to be issued to Gateway Bank and the amount of impacts
associated with the road crossings will be mitigated at a 11 ratio with credits purchased from the
Stone Farm Mitigation Bank and all remaining wetlands in Phase 1 will be subject to a
Conservation Declaration The Stone Farm Mitigation Bank also located in Brunswick County
services the same watershed as the project area and has provided LMG with written confirmation
that credits are available (See attached confirmation) Based on calculations by LMG a total of
0 20 credits will need to be purchased to mitigate for 014 acres of impacts from roads left in place
Fifteen feet wide road shoulders will be left in place to accommodate a five feet wide concrete
sidewalk Any unpermitted existing road shoulders outside of this area will be removed and these
wetlands will be restored Initial work will focus on the removal of fill material Grading activities
will then be conducted to establish proper side slopes Prior to the initiation of any earth work
proper sediment and erosion control measures will be installed to ensure that turbidity and nutrient
pollution do not affect adjacent waterbodies during construction Although it is anticipated that with
the removal of the sandy nutrient poor fill material natural recolonization of the area from adjacent
seed bank sources will quickly revegetate the area with appropriate local species an appropriate
wetland seed mix also will be deployed in the area to facilitate recolonization Also based on
observations during the on site agency meeting and the nature of the spodic material inherent in
these soils, wetland hydrology will likely be restored naturally in a relatively short time frame
LMG will subsequently conduct visual monitoring of the wetland recovery in Phase I and will
provide the EPA and COE with a report of the status of the wetland recovery based on the restored
area s condition at least one year after completion of the restoration work Wetland hydrology will
be monitored via visual inspection of field indicators and best professional judgment as specified in
the 1987 Wetland Delineation Manual and 2008 Interim Regional Supplement to the Corps of
Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region If LMG s report
does not reasonably demonstrate to the EPA and/or the COE that 75% or greater of the restored
area has endemic species present and wetland hydrology has been restored then LMG will submit
a follow up report to the EPA and COE annually until LMG has reasonably demonstrated to EPA
and /or the COE that 75% or greater of the restored area in Phase I has endemic species present
and that wetland hydrology has been restored If vegetative and /or hydrologic success criteria are
not expected to be met based on initial monitoring, then a contingency plan will be developed and
implemented to ensure that restoration of wetland functions will occur
Also as part of the mitigation plan all remaining wetlands in Phase 1 including those areas to be
restored will be placed under a Conservation Declaration given the existing impacts associated
with road crossings and that the Town of Shallotte has approved a site development plan for Phase
I informative signs will be posted to limit encroachment into the wetlands
Phase Ill
Phase III impacts appear to be a result of both excavation (mechanized scraping of the soil
surface) and fill activities On the eastern side of Phase III an earthen berm or spoil pile roughly
parallels the wetland line This berm appears to be the soil that was excavated from the soil
surface of the wetlands to the east of the berm Therefore the soil material constituting this berm
will be spread out over the wetlands to the east after all fill material is removed It is evident from
recent vegetative growth on the berm that this soil material contains a natural pocosin seed bank
Due to the presence of this seed bank it is anticipated that this area will quickly revegetate
naturally although an appropriate wetland seed mix also will be deployed Also due to the
properties of the incipient spodic layer of the Leon sal wetland hydrology should quickly return
without the need of man made hydrologic modifications Once hydrology returns the hydnc soil
properties should begin to reappear
West and north of the earthen berm there appears to be approximately 2 feet of fill material on
average in the wetlands Restoration activities will primarily involve the removal of this fill material
Once this fill material is removed any remaining sod material from the earthen berm will be spread
out on the soil surface to promote the recolonization of vegetation from the natural wetland seed
bank and an appropriate wetland seed mix also will be used Because hydrology will likely return
on its own no monitoring is proposed for any of the restoration areas at the Property
Also on the west side of the earthen berm several concrete utility pipes and associated holes and
ditches currently exist As pars of the restoration plan any pipes or other foreign impervious
materials in wetland areas will be removed The associated holes and ditches will be filled in as
the wetland is restored to its natural grade and elevation All stormwater catch basins in wetlands
will be restored back to grade
Near the southern property boundary Mr Lisk dug a linear shaped pond that roughly parallels the
boundary A small portion of this ,pond appears to have been excavated in wetlands and was not
authorized The portion of this pond that lies within the recently COE approved wetland boundary
will be filed in as part of the restoration plan Re- establishment of vegetation and hydrology will
follow the guidelines set forth in the previously described areas of the tract
All on site construction activities will be supervised by LMG staff to ensure that the restoration plan
is correctly applied and that propererosion control methods are observed LMG will subsequently
conduct visual monitoring of the wetland recovery in Phase III and will provide the EPA and COE
with a report of the status of the wetland recovery based on the restored area s condition at least
one year after completion of the restoration work. Wetland hydrology will be monitored via visual
inspection of field indicators and best professional judgment as specified in the 1987 Wetland
Delineation Manual and 2008 interim Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland
Delineation Manual Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region If LMG s report does not reasonably
demonstrate to the EPA and/or the COE that 75% or greater of the restored area has endemic
species present and wetland hydrology has been restored then LMG will submit a follow up report
to the EPA and COE annually until LMG has reasonably demonstrated to EPA and /or the COE that
75% or greater of the restored area in Phase III has endemic species present and that wetland
hydrology has been restored If vegetative and /or hydrologic success criteria are not expected to
be met based on initial monitoring then a contingency plan will be developed and implemented to
ensure that restoration of wetland functions will occur
Upon concurrence of this plan by the COE and Gateway Bank s acquisition of title to the Property
through the foreclosure process restoration activities will be initiated The COE will be notified of
completion of such activities to ensure that the area is adequately restored The following list
summarizes the wetland mitigation activities noted above
1) Phase I -- Remove soiUfiil down to natural grade over the 022 acre area to be restored
and put up new silt fence along edges of denuded site estimated to be 968 feet in length
It is anticipated that revegetation from adjoining undisturbed wetlands will colonize these
denuded /restored wetland areas although an appropriate wetland seed mix also will be
used
2) Phase III — Remove soil /fill that has been stockpiled on the 5 61 acres down to natural
grade and remove man made structures concrete pipe stone etc install new silt fence
where needed around perimeter of denuded areas and back fill depressions holes and
ditches as noted The amount of new silt fence required is estimated to be 3 584 feet in
length Spread top sal stnppings over denuded area and deploy an appropriate wetland
seed mix to assist in revegetation of disturbed areas
3) Prepare a wetland map for Phase I and describe the boundaries by metes and bound
descriptions for a Conservation Declaration that will apply to the remaining 18 72 wetland
acres in Phase 1
4) Purchase mitigation credits from an approved mitigation bank of 0 20 ages in order to
offset allowing the asphalt roadways and concrete curbing to remain and future installation
of sidewalk
