1.0 PROJECT OVERVIEW
WmA inflnn
As approved by the Mitigation Bank Review Team (MBRT), the bank Sponsor began
implementation of Phase One of the restoration project (the 145 ac. Carolina bay) in October 2007
(Figure 1). These activities included logging, plug installation, planting of characteristic seedlings,
and installation of monitoring devices. Placement of fill material within existing ditches was
authorized under Nationwide Permit 27 issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) on
January 25, 2008 (Action ID# 2003-00682) and the corresponding 401 Water Quality Certification
issued on January 2, 2008 (DWQ Project #20071843).
Mitigation Goals and Objectives
The proposed restoration project is intended to provide suitable, high-quality wetland and stream
restoration to mitigate for authorized impacts within the Lumber River Basin (USGS 8-digit
Hydrologic Unit 03040207; DWQ Subbasin 03-07-57). The objective of the project is to restore
natural vegetative and hydrologic conditions throughout the nonriverine, riverine, and Coastal Plain
stream habitat that have been compromised by previous land use activities. The primary functions
of the restoration project are to provide surface water storage, sediment retention, and organic
carbon transport to downstream food-webs. This project provides an invaluable opportunity to
restore an entire watershed within a region currently experiencing acute development pressures.
Furthermore, the potential for nutrient removal and niche-habitat utilization will also be realized
given the large scope of the project.
Phase One of the project is intended to restore the hydrology and vegetation of a previously
drained and timber-managed headwater Carolina bay. Doing so will contribute to enhanced water
quality and food-web support of downstream waters. The vegetative restoration component will
reestablish a mixture of pond pine (Pinus serotina) and native hardwoods coinciding with existing
topography and the restored hydroperiod. The resulting assemblage of characteristic canopy and
sub-canopy species will restore valuable refuge and feeding habitat previously impacted by site
management practices.
Project Implementation
Restoration activities within the bay were initiated in October 2007 with the logging of the loblolly
pine (Pinus taeda). Logging crews were instructed to remove all loblolly pines, sweet gum, and
other non-target species in preparation for planting in February 2008. Land Management Group,
Inc. (LMG) staff supervised the logging crews to ensure that target species such as red bay
(Persea borbonia) and sweetbay (Magnolia virginiana) were not removed.
Earthwork initially included the installation of eleven (11) interior ditch plugs (approximately 30' in
length) to facilitate logging activities throughout the site. These plugs were constructed using
adjacent spoil material and tree debris from the logging operations. Prior to project construction,
appropriate 401/404 authorization was received for placement of the plugs within the ditches. Once
logging was completed, additional plugs were installed at the northern (#8) and eastern (#14)
outlets of the Carolina bay (Figure 2). These plugs exceed 100-ft in length and consist of fill
material sourced from adjacent spoil piles and a permitted on-site borrow pit. All areas that were
disturbed during the installation process were covered with a seed mixture to minimize erosion. Refer to the
previously submitted mitigation plan for photographs of the initial post-construction conditions. Limited
grading in the areas directly adjacent to the ditches was also conducting to direct drainage towards
the bay. Prior to installation of these plugs, water was directed towards the Sandpiper Golf Course
via the northern outlet and towards Old Georgetown Road via the eastern outlet.
Based upon site observations and preliminary shallow groundwater level monitoring, installation of
the plugs resulted in a discernible effect on the groundwater hydrology (i.e. groundwater levels
observed closer to the soil surface). However, after subsequent site inspections in the months
following the initial earthwork (including a site visit with Mickey Sugg of the USACE Wilmington
Regulatory Branch Office), it was evident that some of the plugs were not functioning properly.
Subsurface drainage was observed in certain plug locations, and water levels within the interior
ditches were not being maintained. Therefore, it was decided that Plugs #2 through #4 would need
to be replaced. These plugs were rebuilt between April 20-22, 2009 using clean fill material from
the surrounding spoil piles. Each plug is now comprised of compacted sandy-clay material and is
functioning properly. Also, note that additional reinforcement to plug #1 will occur in conjunction
2
with the stream restoration phase of this project., These activities will create a 100' plug similar to
those installed at #8 and #14.
Approximately 77,000 hardwood tree seedlings were planted throughout the bay between March 3
and March 7, 2008. Seedlings were planted on approximate 9-ft centers, corresponding to an
average density of 536 seedlings per acre. Planting was supervised by LMG personnel to ensure
proper spacing and planting depths. Atlantic white cedar (Chamaecyparis thyoides) and bald
cypress (Taxodium distichum) comprised a majority of the seedlings planted, totaling
approximately 46,000. Species such as swamp tupelo (Nyssa biflora), tulip poplar (Liriodendron
tuiipifera), and river birch (Betu/a nigra) were also planted (See Table 1 for a complete list and
quantities). Tulip poplar and river birch were planted in slightly higher landscape positions near the
rim of the bay, while the remaining species were planted in the central portions that will likely
experience longer flooding durations. An additional 20,000 pond pine (Pinus serotina) seedlings
were also planted throughout the restored bay area in April 2009.

2.0 MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Annual monitoring will be conducted near the end of each growing season for a period of five
years. This monitoring will include both a vegetative and hydrologic component per the approved
mitigation banking instrument. The vegetative component includes an assessment of the
conditions within each of the 24 permanent monitoring plots that have been established throughout
the project area (Figure 3). Vegetative planting will be deemed successful if survivorship of
plantings and volunteers of desirable species' meets or exceeds a target stem density of 320
stems/acre at the end of three years and 260 stems/acre at the end of five years.
The hydrologic component of the monitoring employs a total of six (6) shallow groundwater
monitoring wells which record water table levels on a daily basis (Figure 3). Data from this
equipment is downloaded every three months (i.e. once quarterly) and graphed with appropriate
local precipitation totals and WETS table information to determine if the site has met the
established hydrologic success criteria. Hydrologic monitoring will be deemed successful if the
static water table is at, or within, 12" of the soil surface for 12.5% of the growing season (equivalent
to 32 days based upon SCS-established growing season dates) during periods of normal rainfall.
Monitoring reports will include results of vegetative monitoring and photographic documentation of
site conditions. Reports will also identify any contingency measures that may need to be employed
to remedy any site deficiencies. For instance, deer browse tubes and fencing may need to be used
if evidence of significant herbivory or deer browse is observed. In addition, supplemental planting
may be necessary in areas of reduced survivorship.
3.0 MONITORING RESULTS (YEAR 1)
Vegetation Monitoring
Monitoring of the on-site vegetation was conducted on September 11 and 12, 2008. A total of
1,104 individuals of the planted species were counted throughout the twenty-four (24) plots, which
correlates to an average of 460 stems/acre within the project area (Table 2). Bald cypress
Desirable species are considered as noninvasive species characteristic of non-riparian habitats.

Planted Specie
Acceptable Volunteer
(Taxodium distichum) was the most abundant woody species, with a total of 494 individuals. Other
planted species such as black gum (Nyssa sylvatica), river birch (Betu/a nigra), and Atlantic white
cedar (Chamaecyparis thyoides) were also prevalent within the monitored plots.
In addition to the planted species, numerous volunteers were also observed within each plot. A
majority of these individuals were representative of the target vegetative, including red bay (Persea
palustris), sweetbay (Magnolia virginiana), and loblolly bay (Gordonia lasianthus). Shrub species
such as American ti-ti (Cyrilla racemiflora) and American holly (Ilex opaca) were also observed.
When combined with the planted species, an average density of 1,003 stems/acre exists within the
project area.
The combination of planted species and acceptable volunteers suggest that the site is progressing
well towards the target community. During the Year 1 monitoring event, each of the 24 plots
exceeded the minimum success criteria and contained a variety of shrub and tree species. This
diversity of species and age classes will likely continue through the duration of the project due to
the abundant native seed source and natural dispersal patterns. These results are also
encouraging given the drought conditions that preceded the initial planting in March 2008 and
continued to persist throughout the 2008 growing season. Monitoring data from the Palmer Long-
Term Drought Index classified the drought for this period as a D3 (Extreme) level. Refer to
Appendix A for photographs of current site conditions and Appendix B for information regarding
individual plot totals.
While average stem densities in most plots are sufficient to meet the applicable success criteria, a
key component of the pocosin vegetative community remains absent from the project due to
availability of nursery stock. A total of 20,000 pond pine (Pinus serotina), a dominant specie within
several variants of the pocosin ecosystem, were planted in April 2009 to provide additional diversity
within the developing canopy layer. This supplemental planting increases the density of planted
species to 674 stems/acre throughout the project area (Table 1). Occurrence and growth of
planted pond pine will be reflected in the monitoring data provided in the Year 2 annual monitoring
report.

Hydrologic Monitoring
Monitoring of hydrologic conditions was initiated in April 2008. Per the approved mitigation plan, a
total of six (6) shallow groundwater monitoring wells were installed throughout the site. Data from
these wells depict a gradual shift in water table depths between April 2008 and June 2008 due to
the installation of the ditch plugs. This transition becomes more dramatic following the installation
of the final ditch plug in mid-June. Following this installation, discharge rates began to decrease
and water tables remain closer to the surface for extended periods. Periods of shallow ponding
were also observed during August and September. Overall, each of the six wells met the
hydrologic success for the 2008 growing season. A summary of the results is provided in Table 3.
Complete hydrologic monitoring data are provided in Appendix C.

4.0 CONCLUSION
Based on the data collected in conjunction with the Year 1 monitoring event, the site appears to be
progressing well towards the target Carolina bay wetland community. Hydrologic data confirm the
re-establishment of hydrology characteristic of non-riparian wetter variety wetland habitat via the
installation of plugs. Water table depths were observed at levels at or near the surface for long
periods, exceeding the established success criteria. These data support the restoration of key
hydrologic functions relating to water storage and groundwater recharge within the system.
Plot monitoring within the restored bay indicates low mortality rates of planted trees and shrubs.
The vegetative component of the project appears to be progressing well as evidenced by the
6
growth and survivorship of planted species and the recruitment of characteristic volunteer species.
Each of the 24 plots exceeded the minimum success criteria during the Year 1 monitoring event.
Observed heights ranged from 1' to 5' among the planted and volunteer individuals, suggesting
that conditions within the restored bay are suitable for healthy community development. Based on
the results from the Year 1 monitoring, it is expected that the site will continue to evolve into a
mature Carolina bay ecosystem which exhibits a vegetative structure and hydrologic regime similar
to undisturbed examples found throughout southeastern North Carolina.
