10 Executive Summary
The North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) enhanced 5 182 linear feet of the Whitelace
Creek stream channel located west of Kinston in Lenoir County North Carolina Additionally 2 77 and
8 01 acres of wetland area were enhanced and preserved respectively Also 12 99 acres (565 734 square
feet) of riparian buffer were restored The site construction was completed in August of 2005 and
planting occurred in March of 2006 This report provides the monitoring information for year six (6) of
the stream enhancement and wetland restoration project
Previous dredging and straightening of Whitelace Creek had lowered the streambed elevation thereby
causing a reduction in the acreage of riverine wetlands due to a lowered water table Restoration and
enhancement objectives for this project included the restoration of historic stream and wetland functions
that existed on site prior to dredging and vegetation removal Site alterations at Whitelace Creek included
the excavation or re establishment of the floodplain and in situ stream channel modification to the
existing stream The goals of these activities are as follows
• to introduce surface water flood hydrodynamics from a 10 1 square mile watershed along the
restored length of stream and floodplain
• to restore wetland hydrology
• to reforest the site with streamside and riparian forest communities
The Year 6 vegetative monitoring was performed on October 5 2011 using the Carolina Vegetation
Survey Level 2 methodology on 9 of the original 15 plots as requested by NCEEP Refer to Table 7 and
the Current Condition Plan View (CCPV) Map in the appendices for the vegetation results Monitoring
revealed that only 2 of the 9 plots (22 %) met the 5 year vegetative success criteria of 260 planted stems or
greater per acre for streams and wetlands When volunteer stems are included all of the vegetation plots
meet or exceed the required density of 260 stems or greater per acre with the average vegetation density
across the site being 2 788 stems per acre (planted and volunteer) Located within the Neuse River Basin
this project was instituted prior to October 11 2007 and is therefore eligible for riparian buffer restoration
credit up to 200 feet from the top of bank of all perennial and intermittent waterways within the
conservation easement As such applicable vegetation plots have been assessed for the vegetation success
criteria for buffers (320 planted trees or greater per acre) Vegetation Plots 4 and 6 lie within the riparian
buffer restoration areas of the project site (refer to the CCPV Map) Only Vegetation Plot 4 is currently
meeting the vegetation success criteria of 320 planted trees or greater per acre When volunteer trees are
also included both Vegetation Plot 4 and Vegetation Plot 6 meet or exceed the required density of 320
trees or greater per acre
Many factors have contributed to the loss of planted species and include drought (2007) direct beaver
damage and excessive flooding due to beaver activity Mowing has occurred along both sides of the main
farm road in the area around the bridge As of the monitoring visit beavers had not rebuilt any dams in
the project area and there are no signs of new beaver activity However previous beaver activity
Whitelace Stream Enhancement and Wetland Restoration Project Page I
Stantec —Monitoring Year 6 of 6 —Final November 2011
flooding and deer browsing affected many of the planted trees in vegetation plots It should be noted that
vigorous woody volunteer recruitment (especially Betula nigra) is present in the upper section of the
reach near Vegetation Plots 1 and 2
Other problems continue to include the presence of invasive or exotic species such as Typha lattfoha and
Lespedeza cuneata Existing areas of Typha are located in small pockets along the middle to lower end of
the project with the densest areas at the downstream end of the site Currently Typha does not appear to be
negatively impacting the planted woody vegetation Lespedeza is present along the drier slopes near
Vegetation Plots 1 and 2 and does not appear to be spreading into the floodplam Murdannia keisak
observed in past years was not observed in significant amounts in MY6
As in previous years a general assessment of stream stability was conducted Results were the same as in
the past in that the stream is stable and is well connected to the floodplam Stream channels bars are still
present which could lead to lateral migration and bank instability however migration and instability were
not observed during current monitoring
Groundwater data collected through October of 2011 was used to assess the compliance of the site with
wetland hydrology criteria Seven groundwater monitoring gauges are currently active on the project site
A site is considered to meet the requirements for wetland hydrology if the groundwater level is within 12
inches of the ground surface for 12 5% of the growing season consecutively All 7 of the gauges met the
criteria during the growing season of 2011 Three reference gauges are also currently active All three of
the reference gauges met the success criteria in 2011
Summary information/data related to the occurrence of items such as beaver or encroachment and
statistics related to performance of various project and monitoring elements can be found in the tables and
figures in the report appendices Narrative background and supporting information formerly found in
these reports can be found in the mitigation and restoration plan documents available on EEP s webs►te
All raw data supporting the tables and figures in the appendices is available from EEP upon request

2 0 Methodology
21 VEGETATION ASSESSMENT
Fifteen vegetative sample plots were quantitatively monitored during the first growing season Species
composition density and survival were monitored during Year 0 and Year 1 The number of plots was
reduced to nine for monitoring in the second year as requested by NCEEP These plots include the
original plots named VP1 VP2 VP4 VP6 VP8 VP9 VP11 VP14 and VP15 The Carolina Vegetation
Survey (CVS) methodology Version 2 2 7 was utilized for vegetative monitoring in Years 2 3 4 5 and 6
Level 2 (planted and natural stems) methodology was completed on all monitored plots
The vegetative success criteria are based on the US Army Corps of Engineers Stream Mitigation
Guidelines (USACE 2003) In the stream and wetland restoration areas the final vegetative success
criteria are the survival of 260 5 year old planted woody stems per acre at the end of the Year 5
monitoring period An interim measure of vegetation planting success was the survival of at least 320 3
year old planted woody stems per acre at the end of year 3 of the monitoring period A ten percent
mortality rate was accepted in year four (288 stems /acre) and another ten percent in year five resulting in
a required survival rate of 260 trees /acre through year five Located within the Neuse River Basin this
project was instituted prior to October 11 2007 and is therefore eligible for riparian buffer restoration
credit up to 200 feet from the top of bank of all perennial and intermittent waterways within the
conservation easement The vegetative success criteria for the riparian buffer restoration areas is 320
planted trees per acre at the end of Monitoring Year 5
The Year 6 stem counts within each of the nine vegetative monitoring plots are included in Exhibit Table
7 in Appendix C Photos of the vegetative monitoring plots are also included in Appendix C
22 STREAM ASSESSMENT
Changes in stream profile and pattern were not included in the stream enhancement project for Whitelace
Creek As such cross section and longitudinal profile surveys and pebble counts were not performed for
the Year 6 monitoring as directed by NCEEP However a general assessment of stream stability and
problem areas was performed during field reconnaissance
23 WETLAND ASSESSMENT
A site is considered to meet the requirements for wetland hydrology if the groundwater saturation is
within 12 inches of the ground surface consecutively for 12 5% of the growing season (30 Days) The
growing season in this area is from March 18'' to November 8`h for a total of 234 days (MRCS 2002)
Seven groundwater monitoring gauges are currently active on the project site Data from these gauges
were collected and analyzed to assess their success Three reference gauges are located northwest of the
project site Reference gauges 1 & 2 are located near the intersection of Sutton Road with Moseley Creek
Reference gauge 3 is located between Hillcrest Road and Moseley Creek approximately 5 500 feet north
of Route 70 Please refer to the project Vicinity Map (Figure 1) in Appendix A for locations of the
reference groundwater monitoring gauges Graphs of precipitation and water level plots are included in
