MEMORANDUM

Date: May 12, 2020
To: Kelly Phillips, DMS Project Manager
From: Adam Spiller, Project Manager
KCI Associates of North Carolina, PA
Subject: MY-00 Monitoring Report Comments
Rough Horn Swamp DMS #97005, Contract 6596
Rough Horn Swamp II DMS #100053, Contract 7514

Please find below our responses in italics to the MY-00 Monitoring Report comments from NCDMS
received on May 4, 2020, for the Rough Horn Swamp and Rough Horn Swamp II Restoration Sites.

1. Update asset table with 5/2019 template tables. The numbers should match tables with the ones in the
Mitigation Plan (pages 33-36). Specifically, RH1 final assets should reflect 20.267 RWMU and
11.873 NRWMU and RH2 final assets should reflect 4563.200 SMU and 20.993 RWMU.
KCI Response: This change has been made.

2. Page 29, Table 5, update project numbers (ones showing are contract numbers).
KCI Response: This change has been made

3. There was a discussion on-site about use of boulder footers since the stream is anticipated to have wet
and dry cycles not conducive to footer logs for grade control as was proposed in original 60% design
(MP). Justify use of boulder footers instead of footer logs in baseline report results for clarity.
KCI Response: A sentence explaining the use of the boulder footers instead of log footers has been
added to the executive summary.

4. Provide reference gauge or the 4 pre-construction wetland gauge data if available (2019) or provide
indication if this data will be available for MY1.
KCI Response: The data from the 4 pre-construction gauges has been added to the report. This data
is available from January 2017 through the end of 2019. Gauge 3 was damaged during construction
and no data from 2019 was collected for it. Data from the reference gauge will be available with the
MY01 report.

5. Differentiate vegetation plots on CCPV to show permanent and random/temporary and move them in
GIS to show all as visible on CCPV.
KCI Response: This change has been made.

6. Ensure signage posting is tied up along all boundaries.
KCI Response: Signage posting was completed the week of May 11, 2020.

7. Provide links to any drone footage that KCI is interested in sharing with IRT for Baseline review.
KCI Response: The meeting minutes from the October 22, 2019 Post Construction IRT Field Review
meeting have been included at the end of the report. These minutes contain links to drone footage, as
well as still pictures from the drone review of the site.

8. Digital Deliverables: Please provide DMS with the stream features as Shapefiles that are currently
excluded, but connect creditable assets at easement breaks (i.e. UT 3-2, UT 3-1, LBC).
KCI Response: These features have been added to the digital deliverables.

9. Provide justification why the ditch plugs were not shown on as-built plans. DMS observed that the
ditch plugs were installed, but that layer was not on drawings.
KCI Response: Ditch plugs were inadvertently left off of the as-built plans. This error has been
corrected.

10. Check the labels of topo on the As-Builts. There were some instances in the field where the label did
not appear to make sense for the topo line.
KCI Response: Additional topo labels have been added to the as-built plans to clarify the elevations
of the topo lines.

DMS Project # 97005/100053 3 MY00 - 2020
PROJECT SUMMARY
The Rough Horn Swap Restoration Site (RHS) was completed in January 2020 and restored 20.267 acres
of riparian wetlands and 11.873 of non-riparian wetlands. Additionally, RHS restored 2,132 linear feet of
stream (non-credited). The site is generating 20.267 riparian wetland mitigation credits, and 11.873 non-
riparian wetland mitigation credits. The Rough Horn II Wetland Restoration Site (RHSII) is located
immediately upstream of RHS (to the north and east) and was also completed in January 2020. RHSII
restored 17.079 acres, enhanced 5.956 acres, and preserved 15.319 acres of riparian wetlands. The site also
restored 1.619 acres of non-riparian wetlands (non-credited). Additionally, RHSII restored 4,446 linear feet,
enhanced 164 linear feet, and preserved 516 linear feet of stream. The site generated 20.993 riparian wetland
mitigation credits and 4,564 stream mitigation credits.

RHS and RHSII are riparian and non-riparian systems in the Lumber River Basin (03040203 8-digit HUC)
in Columbus County, North Carolina, that were historically modified to maximize agricultural production.
The completed project aims to restore an integrated stream/wetland ecosystem that will buffer and support
the Long Bay Creek/Lumber river corridor.

The RHS is protected by a 34.5-acre permanent conservation easement, while RHSII is protected by a 62.3-
acre permanent conservation easement, both held by the North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services
(DMS). Both sites are located near the Town of Evergreen in the west-central portion of Columbus County,
NC. Specifically, the site is located just southwest of the intersection of Old Boardman Road and CCC
Road.

The Lumber River Basin Restoration Priorities state the goals for the RHS and RHSII’s 14-digit HUC are
to protect and improve water quality throughout the Basin by reducing sediment and nutrient inputs into
streams and rivers and to support efforts to restore local watersheds (NCDENR EEP, 2008). The project
goals for RHS and RHSII are in line with the basin priorities and include the following:

‐ Replace buffer
‐ Repairing channelized streams
‐ Preserving existing resources

Additional goals for the project include:
‐ Restore an integrated wetland/stream system
‐ Reduce nutrient impacts to the Lumber River and its tributaries from existing and adjacent
agricultural practices

The project goals will be addressed through the following objectives:
‐ Plant the site with native trees and shrubs that support the development of wetland communities
‐ Fill field ditches to slow the flow of surface and subsurface drainage
‐ Relocate channelized streams to their historic landscape position
‐ Convert existing agricultural land to wetland and stream buffer

Project planting and construction were completed in March 2020. Both RHS and RHSII were constructed
as designed with no major modifications made to the design plan during construction. In the 60% design
plans, footer logs were proposed for grade control. Since it is anticipated that the site will go through wet
and dry cycles not conducive to footer logs, boulder footers were used in the final design for grade control.

The monitoring components were installed in March 2020 for both sites. Twenty-one monitoring gauges
were installed to evaluate the attainment of jurisdictional wetland hydrology for both sites, thirteen at RHS
Rough Horn/Rough Horn II Restoration Sites KCI Associates of NC, PA
DMS Project # 97005/100053 4 MY00 - 2020
and eight at RHSII. One stream monitoring gauge, as well as a flow camera, was installed on Long Bay
Creek within RHSII.

To determine the success of the planted mitigation areas, 10 meter by 10 meter vegetation monitoring plots
were established. Forty-one total vegetation plots were assessed for baseline monitoring. Of these, 25 are
permanent plots, with 16 in RHS (Plots 1-16) and 9 in RHSII (Plots 17-25), and an additional 16 temporary
plots were randomly placed and measured throughout RHS (R1-R16). These plots will be repeated
throughout the course of monitoring, but at different locations each year. All permanent plots were installed
with flagged metal conduit at each corner and a flagged PVC pipe was installed at the photo corner. In each
of the permanent plots, the plant’s height, species, location, and origin (planted versus volunteer) will be
noted. In the random plots, species and height will be recorded. In all plots, invasive stems will also be
recorded to determine the percentage of invasive stems present. Additionally, a photograph will be taken
of each plot. The site’s vegetation will be monitored in years 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7.

Vegetative success criteria for wetland/stream mitigation is a woody stem density of 260 stems/acre after
five years and 210 stems/acre after seven years. Trees in each plot must average 7 feet in height at Year 5
and 10 feet at Year 7. A single species may not account for more than 50% of the required number of stems
within any plot. Volunteers must be present for a minimum of two growing seasons before being included
in performance standards in Year 5 and Year 7. For any volunteer tree stem to count toward vegetative
success, it must be a species from the approved planting list. Visual assessments will also be used to identify
problem areas.

Wetland hydrology will be monitored with the series of 21 automatic gauges described above that record
water table depth. The growing season for the project monitoring period will be March 1st through
November 20th (265 days) based on correspondence with the USACE representative. To meet the success
criterion, the upper 12 inches of the soil profile must have continuously saturated or inundated conditions
for at least 12.0% (32 days) of the growing season in the wetland mitigation areas during normal weather
conditions. A “normal” year will be based on NRCS climatological data for Columbus County, and using
the 30th to 70th percentile thresholds as the range of normal, as documented in the USACE Technical
Report “Accessing and Using Meteorological Data to Evaluate Wetland Hydrology, April 2000.”

In the headwater stream area, one pressure transducer gauge and one camera, set to record a short video
once a day, will document the presence of surface water flow. The project streams must meet the
requirements for headwater stream hydrologic monitoring per the NCIRT 2016 guidelines. Each stream
must have continuous surface water flow within a flowpath for a minimum of 30 continuous days within a
calendar year (assuming normal precipitation) and for every year of monitoring. The stream must show
signs of supporting flowpaths in all monitoring years. These indicators will be documented with pictures
and may include evidence of: scour, sediment deposition and sorting, multiple flow events, wrack lines and
flow over vegetation, leaf litter, matted vegetation, or water staining.

The site’s geomorphology will be monitored per the NCIRT’s 2016 guidance for headwater streams.
Adjustment and lateral movement following construction are anticipated for these headwater stream
systems. In monitoring years one through four the streams will be monitored for specific signs of
concentrated flow. This could include linear scour, areas of flow that are deeper than adjacent flow,
preferential paths through the wetland that are developing, and signs of continuous flow as documented by
a field camera. As the site progresses to years five through seven, there should be signs of developing bed
and banks throughout the site. These may not always be continuous, but evidence of an ordinary high water
mark should be developing.

BASELINE CONDITIONS

Baseline monitoring data was collected in March 2020. RHS and RHSII were planted with a total of
nineteen different species of bare root trees in March 2020 and baseline vegetation monitoring was
completed on March 23, 2020. Installation of wetland and stream gauges was completed on March 3, 2020.

The results of the vegetation baseline monitoring show an average of 887 stems/acre in the planted
restoration area. Additionally, stem counts within each individual plot were well-above the required 320
stems per acre. An attempt to identify all trees was made, but since monitoring was conducted while the
trees were dormant, many were unidentifiable. All trees will be positively identified during the first year of
monitoring.

Subject: Rough Horn/Rough Horn II – Stream and Wetland Mitigation
Field Review – During Construction
Lumber 03
Columbus County, North Carolina

Purpose

A field review meeting was conducted for the above referenced project on October 22, 2019. The purpose
of the meeting was to address concerns brought up during an earlier site review meeting by Jordan Jessop
of the US Army Corps of Engineers and others who had viewed photos that had been taken during that
field visit.

Site Conditions

Construction was nearing completion at the time of the site visit. The construction of a bridge and some
cleanup activities were the remaining activities ongoing at the time of the meeting. According to data
collected as part of the NPDES requirements of the construction project, only 1.18” of rainfall had been
recorded for the previous 30 days of record. The upper end of the mainstem (Long Bay Creek) was the
only flowing waterbody noted during the site visit, although that stream eventually stopped flowing
before it hit the open agricultural fields beyond the wooded area. The Rough Horn project has a 2-square
mile drainage area at the downstream project boundary. Considering the size of the drainage area the
lack of flow in the channel was indicative of the extreme dry conditions witnessed during construction
(started in July). The flow in the Long Bay Creek had been increasing steadily during the past two weeks
as evapotranspiration rates within the forest had been slowing down and the groundwater elevation

within the forested had started to rise. This increase in flow was occurring without any rainfall during that
period.

Meeting Minutes

The site walk was started at Station 15+00 at the location of the proposed steel span bridge. The
comments from the meeting are summarized below and are grouped into four basic issues/questions.

1. The channel looked like a ditch that could drain the wetlands surrounding it.
2. The channel should have more wood in it as indicated on the project plans.
3. Why does there need to be a channel at all?
4. Why couldn’t we have graded the floodplain down to match the channel section in transition
zones such as 15+00 to 18+50

Tim Morris explained the following:

The project stream was constructed almost exactly as per plan. Exceptions included:

1. Small alignment changes to avoid trees were made in the wooded area
2. In areas where the existing grade matched the design grade (or was lower), such as between
Station 24+00 to 29+00 and Station 302+00 to 310+00, no grading (or minimal grading) was
completed. In these areas the stream was left to find its own course through the woods

Tim Morris explained that a detailed grading plan did need to be prepared to ensure that hydrologic
trespass issues associated with surrounding drainage features were addressed to avoid legal issues
associated with adjacent parcels outside the easement. While we would have preferred to have had
just released the water into the relic channels, we did need to do our due diligence with regards to
standards of care from an engineering perspective. The maximum depth of the channels as per the
design is 0.8’ for the main channel and 0.6’ for tributary channels. In contrast, prior to construction, the
mainstem was ditched on average 3-4’ deep and in some areas deeper. Many peripheral ditches were
ditched to similar depths to assist in draining the site for agricultural production. Those ditches were all
filled. Tim Morris also pointed out that we were in a drought and that in normal conditions (as per
design) the baseflow in the channels would be at the top of bank or overbank as per design. To
demonstrate that, drone and still photos taken after the meeting during times of normal rainfall have
been provided (see photos 1-8). For these low gradient coastal systems, the water surface in the
channel essentially represents the surrounding groundwater elevation. If the water is at or near the
surface (as depicted in the photos), it is strong assurance that the surrounding wetlands will be meeting
their hydrology standard. For this particular site, because of the concern for long term inundation we
did need to ensure some level of positive drainage through the site to keep our trees alive.

In response to agency input at this meeting, KCI completed the following modifications to the project.

- Installed woody debris jams in the channel in multiple areas (see drone footage and still photos
as well as as-built plans for locations of wood in channels)
- Added additional live stakes to the channels
- Graded the floodplain down between 15+00 and 18+00 and added some side channels
- Graded the floodplain down between 100+00 and 105+00 and added some side channels

We have included the following YouTube videos for your reference. These videos represent the as-built
condition of the site prior to planting. This memo is provided as a compliment to the Baseline
Monitoring Report and as-built plans as the discussions at this meeting did lead to some minor changes
to the project plans.

KCI understands the IRT’s concerns expressed on the day of the site visit. We do believe that the
conditions on that day are not indicative of normal conditions on this site. We also do not believe the
shallow pilot channels will effectively drain the restored wetlands on this site. There is the potential
that modifications can be made during the adaptive management period if it turns out that hydrologic
trespass issues do not end up being a concern. Log structures could be added to the site to act as sills
and raise the water surface elevations in select areas of the site, however those types of modifications
will need to be deferred until as-built condition is monitored and fully understood.
