Construction & Planting Photo Log As -built Baseline Monitoring Report (Project No. 100016) Table of Contents page i Arabia Bay Wetland Restoration Site Restoration Systems, LLC Hoke County, North Carolina March 2020 1.0 PROJECT SUMMARY Restoration Systems, LLC has established the North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services (NCDMS) Arabia Bay Wetland Restoration Site (Site). 1.1 Project Goals & Objectives Project goals were based on the Cape Fear River Basin Restoration Priorities (CFRBRP) report (NCEEP 2009) goals are addressed by project objectives as follows. CFRBRP Goal — Reduce and control sediment inputs Site specific objective — Cessation of row crop production and conversion of a ditched Carolina Bay to a depressional wetland, removal of agricultural sediment outputs from the Site, and control of sediments within the Site. 2. CFRBRP Goal — Reduce and manage nutrient inputs Site specific objective — Cessation of row crop production may result in a direct reduction of 160 pounds of nitrogen and 280 pounds of phosphorus per year (based on the nutrient model) from the elimination of agricultural nutrient inputs/fertilizer application at the Site. Site specific mitigation goals and objectives have been developed through the use of North Carolina Wetland Assessment Method (NC WAM) analyses of preconstruction and reference wetland systems (NC WFAT 2010) as outlined in the following table. As -built Baseline Monitoring Report (Project No. 100016) page 2 Arabia Bay Wetland Restoration Site Restoration Systems, LLC Hoke County, North Carolina March 2020 Wetland Targeted Functions, Goals, and Objectives Targeted Functions Goals Objectives (1) HYDROLOGY • Filled agriculture ditches to restore (2) Surface Storage & jurisdictional hydrology Retention • Planted native woody vegetation • Minimize downstream • Ceased row crop production within the flooding to the easement maximum extent • Plowed soils (6-8 inches) to reduce (2) Sub -surface Storage & possible. surface compaction and increase surface Retention roughness • Protected the Site with a perpetual conservation easement (1) WATER QUALITY • Removed agricultural land uses and • Remove direct nutrient, agricultural inputs from the Site (2) Pollution Change sediment, and pollutant • Filled the ditch network to restore ground and surface hydrology within the Site inputs from the Site. • Planted woody vegetation • Restored jurisdictional wetlands (1) HABITAT (2) Physical Structure • Planted woody vegetation to provide organic matter and shade (2) Landscape Patch Structure • Improve wildlife habitat within and adjacent to • Filled ditches to provide groundwater hydrology and plant woody native the Site. vegetation (2) Vegetation Composition • Protected the Site with a perpetual conservation easement • Restored jurisdictional wetlands 1.2 Project Background The Site is situated in a Carolina bay that was historically cleared, drained, and farmed. In the NC Geological Survey 1956 aerial photograph for Hoke County the Site was in agricultural production indicating the area was cleared prior to 1956. The bay is an isolated depression surrounded by sand rims along the northwest and southeast margins. Land use adjacent to the bay includes rural residential properties, timber tracts, and additional row crops. Prior to construction, the Site land use was characterized entirely by agricultural row crops. Herbaceous vegetation and a few shrubby species were growing within the ditches, which were regularly maintained by bush hogging and herbicide application. The 1956 NC Geological Survey aerial photograph and 1974 aerial photograph included in the Hoke and Cumberland Counties Soil Survey show a historic ditch that is no longer present (USDA 1984). The ditch was placed in the middle of the field and ran from the southeast to the northwest where it connected the primary present-day ditches. The historical ditch appeared to be a secondary As -built Baseline Monitoring Report (Project No. 100016) page 3 Arabia Bay Wetland Restoration Site Restoration Systems, LLC Hoke County, North Carolina March 2020 ditch that was not necessary for agricultural production and was therefore filled in during the 1980's. A field investigation was performed using hand tools to locate the historic ditch location and determine if the subsurface clay layer was intact. Based on the field investigation it appears the clay layer within the footprint of the historic ditch is intact. A Detailed Restoration Plan was prepared for the Site that outlined the backfilling of agricultural ditches and planting with native forest vegetation. In addition, an outlet structure was designed as an emergency spillway if the bay filled during major storm events. The detailed plan was approved by the NCDMS and Interagency Review Team (IRT) and implemented during the summer of 2019. 1.3 Project Components and Structure Proposed Site restoration activities generated 16.1 Non -riparian Wetland Mitigation Units (WMUs) as the result of 16.1 acres of riparian wetland restoration. Additional activities that occurred at the Site included the following. • Move access road off the Carolina bay bed and onto the adjacent sand rim. The road was built according to the construction plans at an average elevation of 222 feet. • Install an overflow drop structure to release water from the Carolina bay during excessive storm events (at a water depth of approximately 2.5 feet in the Carolina bay bottom). • Excavation of shallow, elliptical depressions to form hummocks and pools for habitat variation across the Site. The depths of the pools average between 6 and 12 inches. • Plant 16.1 acres of the Site with 10,600 stems (planted species and densities by zone are included in Table 5 [Appendix Q. • A permanent seed mix was applied across the Site. A species list is included in Table 8 (Appendix Q. Site design was completed in November 2018. Construction started on August 5, 2019 and ended within a final walkthrough on August 22, 2019. The Site was planted on January 24, 2020. Completed project activities, reporting history, completion dates, project contacts, and background information are summarized in Tables 1-4 (Appendix A). 1.4 Success Criteria Project success criteria have been established per the October 24, 2016 NC Interagency Review Team Wilmington District Stream and Wetland Compensatory Mitigation Update. Monitoring and success criteria relate to project goals and objectives. From a mitigation perspective, several of the goals and objectives are assumed to be functionally elevated by restoration activities without direct measurement. Other goals and objectives will be considered successful upon achieving success criteria. The following table summarizes Site success criteria. As -built Baseline Monitoring Report (Project No. 100016) page 4 Arabia Bay Wetland Restoration Site Restoration Systems, LLC Hoke County, North Carolina March 2020 Success Criteria Wetland Hydrology • Saturation or inundation within the upper 12 inches of the soil surface for, at a minimum, 10 percent of the growing season, during average climatic condition based on the Wilmington District Stream and Wetland Compensatory Mitigation Update (USACE 2016), Table 1, for a Typic Paleaquult (Rains). Vegetati • Within planted portions of the site, a minimum of 320 stems per acre must be present at year 3; a minimum of 260 stems per acre must be present at year 5; and a minimum of 210 stems per acre must be present at year 7. • Trees must average 7 feet in height at year 5, and 10 feet in height at year 7 in each plot. • Planted and volunteer stems are counted, provided they are included in the approved planting list for the site; natural recruits not on the planting list may be considered by the IRT on a case -by -case basis. Volunteer Loblolly pine which is not included on the planting list is a desirable species for the restoration of the vegetative community and will count towards vegetative success. • Any single species can only account for 50% of the required stems within any vegetation plot. o Ephemeral pool "habitat areas" are a normal component of Carolina bays. Areas of freshwater marsh are expected to be comprised of herbaceous emergent vegetation and not forested woody vegetation. Ephemeral pool "habitat areas" are expected to encompass approximately 20% of the bay area and should not be held to the above vegetative success criteria. 2.0 METHODS Monitoring requirements and success criteria outlined in this plan follow the October 24, 2016 NC Interagency Review Team Wilmington District Stream and Wetland Compensatory Mitigation Update. Monitoring will be conducted by Axiom Environmental, Inc. Annual monitoring reports of the data collected will be submitted to the NCDMS by Restoration Systems no later than December 31 of each monitoring year data is collected. The monitoring schedule is summarized in the following table. Monitoring Schedule Resource Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year 6 Year 7 Wetlands Vegetation Visual Assessment Report Submittal 2.1 Monitoring The monitoring parameters are summarized in the following table.
