0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On behalf of the bank Sponsor, Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Development Company (WREDCO),
Land Management Group (LMG) is submitting the following comprehensive mitigation plan for the
Bachelors Delight Stream and Wetland Mitigation Project. The bank site (approximately 512 acres)
encompasses land owned by both WREDCO and The Endowment Fund of North Carolina State
University. The site is located near Jacksonville, NC in the headwaters of the New River, a major
tributary of the White Oak River Basin (Cataloging Unit 03030001). The project area consists of a
network of channelized headwater wetland and stream systems that have been historically altered
as a result of silvicultural and agricultural management practices. These practices have
compromised the functions of both the wetlands and streams within the project boundaries and
degraded water quality in the New River watershed.
The goal of the project is to restore the natural hydrologic conditions that existed prior to the
initiation of intensive land management in the early 1970s. At the present time, drainage within the
headwaters of each of the on-site streams has been modified to artificially increase or decrease the
functional size of the surrounding watershed. As a result, channels may become dehydrated due
to lack of flow (associated with truncated watersheds) or may experience erosion due to excessive
flow velocities (associated with artificially enlarged watersheds). These alterations have been
exacerbated by extensive logging within the floodplains and channelization throughout the lower
reaches.
Stream and wetland restoration activities will involve the backfilling and/or plugging of ditches in the
headwaters of each of the reaches and construction of new stream channels where appropriate.
The project will also utilize a zero order restoration approach for headwater streams which maintain
a natural watershed of approximately 25 to 83 acres.
The following restoration plan provides specific information regarding the technical approach for
the proposed stream and wetland restoration activities. Information regarding the proposed
monitoring procedures and long-term stewardship of the project are also included.

I. INTRODUCTION
A. Project Overview
The Bachelors Delight Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank site (approximately 512 acres)
consists predominantly of channelized headwater wetland and stream systems that have been
historically altered as a result of silvicultural and agricultural management practices. The site is
located just east of Gum Branch Road, approximately six miles north of Jacksonville, NC, in
Onslow County. The site consists of rolling terrain and is bisected by three main stream systems
(Hewitts Branch, Huffmans Branch, and Bachelors Delight Swamp). While a majority of the site
contains moderately well-drained soils, several areas along the eastern and western sections
contain poorly-drained soils associated with interstream divide landscape positions. During the
early 1970s, a network of drainage ditches was installed throughout these areas to lower
groundwater tables and intercept surface water. Site drainage flows south through the Bachelors
Delight Swamp, a third order tributary of the New River - part of the White Oak River Basin
(Cataloging Unit 03030001) (DWQ Subbasin 03-05-02). Based upon detailed site investigations,
• 16,761 If of stream restoration, 5,928 If of stream enhancement and 11,400 If of stream
preservation is proposed. A total of 60 ac of riparian wetland habitat has also been targeted for
restoration. Non-riparian wetland restoration, located throughout the interstream flats, will comprise
approximately 152 ac of the proposed project area. As a result, the restoration effort will allow for
increased stream habitat, floodwater storage, nutrient retention/sediment reduction, and intact
headwater wetland habitat for resident and migratory fauna.
B. Site Location
The tract is located east of the junction of Gum Branch Road and Quaker Bridge Road in northern
Onslow County, NC (refer to Figure 1). It is bordered on the northeast by the Hofmann Forest.
The site is located approximately 6 miles north of Jacksonville. The attached USGS 7.5-minute
topographic quadrangle (Jacksonville North quad) depicts the location of the site relative to
mapped blue-line streams and canals (Figures 2-3).
E

0 C. Watershed Characterization
The bank site is located within the White Oak River watershed (DWQ Subbasin 03-05-02). The
subbasin consists of managed forestry tracts, low-density residential and high density commercial
developments along the Gum Branch Road corridor. Population growth within the subbasin is
primarily focused in the areas north of Jacksonville and south of Richlands. Streams and
waterbodies within the watershed are susceptible to impairment from nutrient loading and low
ambient dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations. According to the White Oak River Basinwide
Water Quality Plan (NC DWQ 2005), a majority of the waterbodies within the subbasin are
impaired due to nutrient enrichment and periodic fecal coliform bacteria contamination.
Surface waters within the project area drain south to Bachelors Delight Swamp, a third order
tributary of the New River. The NC DWQ surface water body classification for Bachelors Delight
Swamp is C-NSW. Class "C" waters are defined as those waters protected for secondary
recreation, fishing, wildlife, fish consumption, aquatic life (including propagation), survival and
maintenance of biological integrity, and agriculture. Secondary recreation includes wading,
boating, and other uses involving human body contact with water where such activities take place
in an infrequent, unorganized, or incidental manner. Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW) is a
supplemental classification intended for waters needing additional nutrient management due to
being subject to excessive growth of microscopic or macroscopic vegetation. Best management
practices (BMPs), including riparian buffer setbacks, are implemented within NSW basins to help
offset or minimize nutrient loading to susceptible waters.
The site formerly consisted of several expansive areas of Mesic Pine Flatwood communities
dissected by multiple, small stream swamp systems in the headwater areas. Non-riverine
headwater wetlands (pocosin and swamp forest), characteristic of the outer Coastal Plain, existed
throughout the broad interstream flats in the eastern and western borders of the proposed project
area. These type of wetlands support a number of functions/values including, but not limited to the
following: groundwater recharge; floodwater storage and attenuation; filtration and storage of
nutrients, sediments, and/or toxic substances; and refuge/feeding habitat for resident and migratory
fauna. Stream systems work in concert with these wetlands to attenuate flood velocities, provide
aquatic habitat, and elevate the surrounding water table. At the present time, these functions have
3
. been compromised through silvicultural management and agricultural practices (including ditching,
clear-cutting, conversion to fields, agri-chemical runoff, etc.). The New River and its tributaries
have exhibited significant water quality impairments associated with low DO, high total nitrogen,
and high total phosphorous. High nutrient concentrations originate from non-point source loading
associated with intensive agricultural practices common throughout the watershed. These
impairments tend to be exacerbated by channelization of streams and ditching of adjacent
headwater wetlands, resulting in diminished nutrient uptake and nutrient/sediment loading to down-
gradient waters.
II. MITIGATION GOALS
A. Project Purpose
The goal of the proposed bank is to provide high-quality compensatory mitigation for permitted
impacts within the White Oak Basin via the restoration, enhancement, and preservation of streams
and wetlands. The proposed activities will restore both the hydrologic and vegetative components
of four separate stream and wetland communities within the headwaters of Bachelors Delight
Swamp. The following categories of functions have been targeted for restoration or enhancement
within the Bachelors Delight Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank:
• BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLING -The restored stream and headwater wetland systems will
capture drainage from the surrounding watershed, dissipating energy in the downstream
environment. The increased retention times will allow for a suite of biotic and abiotic
processes to convert nitrogen and other nutrients into different forms that may be readily
consumed by the surrounding plant community. This retention also allows for sediment to
settle out of solution, reducing downstream pollution. Flow within the system will also
provide a valuable conduit for organic matter which will support downstream food webs.
Cessation of agricultural production within the headwaters will also reduce the nutrient and
sediment delivery to downstream waters.
• HYDROLOGIC/HYDRAULIC - The watershed restoration approach will provide for the re-
establishment of characteristic headwater wetland hydrology and contribute to natural flow

4
• regimes for downstream tributaries. Restoration of riparian wetlands and headwater
wetland flats will result in the expansion of the surface and subsurface water storage
component of the ecosystem. The increase in storage volume will reduce peak discharge,
prolong baseflow, and contribute to channel stability.
• PLANT and ANIMAL HABITAT- Plantings associated with the various habitats will restore
the pine and native hardwood assemblages that existed prior to silvicultural and
agricultural management. When coupled with the variation in topography, these areas
provide valuable heterogeneity which supports a more diverse food web within the
ecosystem. This diversity provides a variety of food sources and refuge habitat for local
and migratory species. Increases in plant diversity will also be generated through the
development of microhabitats and organic matter inputs to the soil surface.
• AQUATIC HABITAT - Restoration of the existing watershed boundaries through the
removal of existing drainage ditches will restore natural flow regimes to several reaches
within the project area. New channel construction will also create numerous niche habitats
through the installation of woody debris, natural pools, etc. Restoration of seasonally
. driven flow will rehydrate existing channels throughout the headwaters of Hewitts Branch,
Huffmans Branch, and Bachelors Delight Swamp. Both methods of restoration will allow
for macro-invertebrate and amphibian communities to repopulate these previously
inaccessible areas.
B. Geographic Service Area (GSA)
The tract is located within the Middle Atlantic Coastal Plain (Ecoregion 63) as defined by Griffith et
al. (2002) "Ecoregions of North Carolina" (refer to Appendix A). This ecoregion encompasses the
area defined as the 'Carolina Flatwoods' - a subregion occurring along nearly level, poorly drained
areas in the outer Coastal Plain including the White Oak River Basin.
The proposed project will serve as a general use wetland and stream mitigation bank serving the
White Oak River Basin (USGS Cataloging Unit 03030001). Note that the GSA has been amended
based upon comments from the IRT and now excludes the 14-Digit Cataloging Units located to the
south and east of HWY 17 in Pender and New Hanover Counties (Figure 4). Table 1 provides a
1?

III. SITE DESCRIPTION
A. Community Types
The tract consists of a variety of former wetland habitat types which coincide with the existing
gradients in topography, drainage patterns, and soil types. The primary wetland types targeted for
restoration are Coastal Plain small stream swamp and wet pine flatwoods. Based upon the
recently developed NC Wetland Assessment Manual (WAM), the targeted community types for the
bank site are (1) Non-Riparian Pine Flat (drier variety); (2) Non-Riparian Pocosin (wetter variety;
and (3) Riparian Headwater Wetland. Based upon the Cowardin classification for wetland and
deepwater habitats (Cowardin et al. 1979), the wetland community types to be restored are
Palustrine Scrub-Shrub and Forested Wetlands (i.e., broad-leaved deciduous, needle-leaved
deciduous, needle-leaved evergreen, and broad-leaved evergreen). Changes in restored
community types will coincide with changes in topography and soil types across the site.
B. Vegetation
The predominant land use of the tract and surrounding area is silvicultural (managed pine
plantation of various stand stages). Since the tract has been affected by prescribed drainage
improvements for forestry production, species indicative of drier, upland conditions are more
prevalent in areas currently targeted for riparian restoration and/or enhancement. These species
include old field blackberry (Rubus alumnus), dog fennel (Eupatorium capillifo/ium), bracken fern
(Pteridium aquilinum), broom-sedge (Andropogon glomeratus), and loblolly pine (Pins taeda).
Non-target species such as sweet gum (Liquidambar styracif/ua) and red maple (Acer rubrum) are
0 dominant througout large sections of riparian habitat. More desirable species such as loblolly bay
6
• (Gordonia lasianthus), fetterbush (Lyonia lucida), American holly (//ex opaca), red bay (Persea
borbonia), and sweet bay (Magnolia virginiana) were observed in isolated areas. Characteristic
hardwoods of the small stream swamp community (e.g. black gum, water tupelo, bald cypress) are
either sparse or absent in the upper stream reaches targeted for restoration. The species
assemblage has clearly shifted in response to long-term site drainage and timber management.
C. Soil Characteristics
The tract is located within a dissected drainage network and includes broad, flat interstream areas
along the perimeter of the project site. Moderately well-drained soils, such as the Goldsboro unit,
are found near the intersections of the existing stream channels. These units transition to the
somewhat poorly-drained Lynchburg series and to the poorly-drained Rains series, situated in the
headwater landscape positions of the existing channels and adjacent to the Hofmann Forest.
Bottomland areas associated with the lower portions of Bachelors Delight Swamp are mapped as
Muckalee loam, a poorly-drained unit commonly associated with active floodplains throughout the
Coastal Plain (refer to Figure 5).
I* D. Hydrology/Hydraulic Characteristics
The tract is located within a watershed that has historically received drainage improvements for the
purposes of increased timber productivity and/or crop yield (Figure 6). These improvements have
resulted in changes to functional watershed size and disrupted natural flow pattems throughout the
headwaters of this area. An intensive drainage network exists throughout the 156 ac. of cultivated
land in the northeastern portion of the project site. These activities have increased the size of the
Bachelors Delight Swamp drainage area while concurrently diverting flow from Huffmans Branch
and other tributaries. As a result, these other tributaries exhibit significantly reduced flow and lack
evidence of overbank flooding.
Evidence of drained hydric soils (i.e. low-chroma, friable soils exhibiting a relatively high
percentage of uncoated sand grains) was observed throughout the areas mapped as the Rains soil
series. Areas mapped as Goldsboro and Lynchburg have been bedded, but lack a significant
network of drainage improvements. These conditions are reflected in the current wetland
delineation that received USACE approval in October 2007 (refer to Appendix B).
7

Drainage improvements have also directly impacted streams throughout the lower portions of the
watershed. These impacts have increased the cross-sectional area of the natural stream, limiting
interaction with the surrounding floodplain and increasing flow velocities during peak flow events.
In addition, the straightening and excavation of stream channels has resulted in the removal of
large woody debris and other in-stream habitat, reducing biological diversity within the system.
Appendix C documents existing conditions throughout each of the main reaches targeted for
restoration.
III. STREAM RESTORATION PLAN
A. Introduction
Like other small, blackwater streams of the Coastal Plain, Bachelors Delight Swamp and its
tributaries are susceptible to water quality impairment resulting from non-point source discharges
of contaminants - including nitrogen, phosphorous, and a suite of organophosphate-based
herbicides and pesticides. Currently, intensive agricultural practices in the headwaters, in addition
to concentrated development along the Gum Branch Road corridor, contribute to decreased water
quality of downstream waters. Ditches, channelized tributaries, and canals drain an approximate
ten-square mile area within the watershed. These surface waters serve as direct conduits for
sediment, nutrients, and other pollutants entering both the Bachelors Delight Swamp and the New
River. The channelization of streams contributes to channel instability and reduced attenuation on-
site. This, in turn, results in increased flooding and bank erosion for down-gradient areas. The
natural replenishment of fine sediments and nutrients from floodwaters onto the floodplain wetlands
within the site has been virtually eliminated so that sediment accumulation is occurring along the
stream bed and nutrients are being shunted downstream. The physical alteration of the stream
bed adversely affects biological communities through direct mortality, habitat loss, and shifts in
species composition. See Appendix D for additional stream assessment information.

• Restoration of a natural, sinuous channel will provide the variety of habitat features necessary to
support a diverse invertebrate and bacterial community. The re-establishment of these
communities increases the uptake of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) within the stream system.
As DOC is processed, the microbial loop is established, forming a key component of the food web
(Allan, 1995).
Restoration of the natural channel will also assist in the maintenance of an elevated water table
throughout the adjacent floodplain. Elevation of the water table allows for the reestablishment of
hydric soil conditions, which aid in the transformation and sequestration of pollutants. Construction
of an appropriate channel pattern and profile will also reduce flow velocities, increase residence
time, and promote overbank flooding (resulting in the replenishment of fine sediments and nutrients
to adjacent floodplain wetlands).
Each of the four stream reaches targeted for restoration exhibit similar geomorphic positions.
Thus, it is anticipated that the identified functions to be restored or enhanced are fairly uniform
. throughout the project area (Figure 7). Table 2 provides specific information for each of the four
sections of the project.
B. Priority I Stream Restoration
The Priority I approach will be applied to reaches that have experienced extensive manipulation to
the natural channel and have been disconnected from their natural drainage basins. The physical
manipulations to the channels have removed a majority of the in-stream structures and increased
the cross-sectional area, resulting in a disconnection from the surrounding floodplain.
Disconnection and/or redirection of flows in the headwaters have dehydrated several reaches on
the northern side of Maready Road, further compromising the aquatic functions within each stream.
Design parameters for this approach were based on the naturally occurring watershed boundaries
and corresponding flow characteristics throughout the site. A reference reach was defined near
the intersection of BD-2 and BD-3. Data collected from survevs of this reach were imerl to
establish the 83 ac. threshold for single-thread restoration that was applied throughout the site.

0 Construction of the restored channel will occur directly adjacent to the existing ditch. Spoil material
generated from the excavation of the new channel will be used to backfill the existing ditch and
restore natural contours within the floodplain. Natural woody material will be used to construct the
"?- --stream structures throughout each section. Hard structures will not be used. Rather, natural
materials (such as root wads and log vanes) will assist with channel stabilization and grade control.
Hydrologic Modelling: Hydrologic Engineering Center's River Analysis System (HEC-RAS Version
4.0) is a software package designed to perform one-dimensional, steady flow, analysis of water
surface profiles for a network of natural and constructed channels. HEC-RAS uses two equations,
energy and/or momentum, depending upon the water surface profile. The model is based on the
energy equation. The energy losses are evaluated by friction (Manning's equation) and
contraction/expansion (coefficient multiplied by the change in velocity head). The momentum
equation is used in situations where the water surface profile rapidly varies, such as hydraulic
jumps and stream junctions.
0 Backwater analysis was performed for the existing and proposed conditions for both bankfull and
100-year discharges. In addition to steady flow data, geometric data is also required to run HEC-
RAS. Geometric data consists of establishing the connectivity of the river system, which includes
cross-section data, reach lengths, energy loss coefficients (friction losses, contraction, and
expansion losses), and stream junction information.
Bankfull Discharge Analysis: HEC-RAS was used to evaluate how the discharge of the restored
channel flows within the proposed channel geometry. This evaluation verifies that the proposed
plan, dimension, and profile would adequately convey the discharge at the bankfull stage; the point
where water begins to overflow onto the floodplain. Bankfull discharge estimates were determined
using on-site conditions, the published regional curve, and the mini-regional curve created by
Ko/Florence & Hutcheson.
\_J
11
• Rise/No-Rise Analysis: A HEC-RAS analysis has been prepared and completed on existing and
proposed conditions of the project channel(s). The resulting data output has been analyzed to
determine if the design channel is adequately conveying its bankfull discharge, and to determine if
a rise, fall, or no-rise in water surface elevations during the 100-year flood event has occurred.
See Appendix E for specific information from the reference reach and modeling outputs.
Hewitts Branch - HE-1: The headwaters of this reach have experienced extensive logging and
drainage manipulation since the early 1970s. At the present time, several drainage ditches to the
west of and adjacent to Maready Road bisect the natural watershed, reducing flows to the existing
channel. Extensive logging within the area has also removed target species and a majority of the
mature loblolly pines. As a result, little functional habitat remains throughout this reach.
Construction of the single thread channel will involve grading activities designed to re-establish
proper elevations and hydrology. The initial grading work will remove existing silvicultural bedding
and contour the stream valley corridor to the original grades. Following these activities, each of the
ditches within the headwaters of Hewitts Branch will be backfilled to the existing grade,
approximately +52' MSL. Removal of a portion of the existing access road will provide source
material for the proposed backfilling. Woody debris from recent logging events will be utilized
throughout this section to enhance habitat and microtopography within the valley.
Approximately 2,000 If of single thread channel will be constructed on the western side of Maready
Road. Construction activities for this section will take place within a 400' corridor. A permanent
rock ford will be constructed at the intersection of Maready Road, replacing an existing culvert. At
the present time, the existing culvert maintains an invert elevation similar to the incised channel
located downstream. The new culverts will raise the invert elevation to approximately +50' MSL,
which will reconnect the stream to the existing floodplain.
An additional 3,000 If of channel will be constructed downstream of this intersection. As the valley
becomes more defined in this section, the need for contouring will be minimized. Rather, the
proposed earthwork will focus on channel construction while repairing logging damage and
backfilling of the existing channelized feature. Following these activities, this section will be
12

planted with hardwood species associated with the target small stream swamp community. An
estimated total of 5,103 If of restoration, extending from the intersection of the main branch to the
zero order tributary, is proposed for this area (Figure 7).
Huffman Branch - HU-1: A similar approach will be utilized for this reach, which has been
channelized north of Maready Road. Construction work will focus on the backfilling of ditches
associated with an access road in the northern section of the project. This will re-establish a
drainage connection to a majority of the 110 ac. natural watershed. Installation of new culverts will
also be installed at the intersection of existing access road and Maready Road. An estimated total
of 3,445 If of restoration, extending north from Maready Road is proposed for this area (Figure 7).
Half Moon Creek - HM 1: The headwaters of this reach have been managed for silvicultural
production for over 30 years. As -a result, extensive channel modification and removal of the
characteristic riparian vegetation has occurred throughout the entire reach. Given the level of prior
disturbance, the stream corridor will be re-graded to achieve appropriate elevations and contours
0 throughout the existing valley.
Backfilling of the existing channel will occur between Maready Road and the southern project
boundary. Existing spoil piles and bedding will provide a majority of the source material for this
stage of the project. Removal of non-target species such as loblolly pine and sweet gum will occur
throughout the 200' wide valley to allow for grading activities to reestablish a gradual transition
between riparian and non-riparian habitats. When completed, a functional watershed exceeding 80
acres will provide hydrologic input to downstream section of the reach, restoring up to 1,131 If of
first order stream. Note that zero order stream construction will occur upstream of this section
providing an additional 901 If of restoration within the headwaters.
C. Zero Order Stream Restoration
A zero order approach will be applied to the headwater streams associated with the project. The
restoration design criteria will be consistent with current publish guidelines for the Coastal Plain
(USACE, 2007). Headwater (zero order) streams generally lack a defined bed and bank and are
located in smaller watersheds that are typically greater than 25 acres. Prior to developing the site
0 13

i design, several tools were utilized to define the extent of the zero order stream systems within the
project area. These tools include 1' contour (LIDAR) data, soil survey data, historic aerial
photography, and on-site reference reach surveying. These data were then compared to the
proposed post-project watershed size to determine the applicability of the zero order approach.
Based on an analysis of the data collected, watersheds between 25 and 83 acres in size are
considered suitable for zero order restoration techniques. See Appendix F for historic aerial
photography of the site.
The length of the valley will be used to determine the final linear footage of zero-order stream
restoration. Areas outside of the 100-ft wide corridor (but still within the valley) are targeted for
riparian wetland restoration. Plantings consistent with small stream swamp and riparian wetland
communities of the outer Coastal Plain will be established as part of the restoration effort. Figure 7
depicts the layout of the stream component of this project.
Restoration of the ecosystems will re-establish diffuse, braided flow patterns throughout the
. identified valley corridor. This will be achieved through removal of existing silvicultural bedding and
backfilling and/or plugging of ditches throughout the upper watershed. These activities will allow
runoff to sheet flow across the site and access the restored riparian headwater system. The
elevation of water table depths will also provide valuable base flow.
Huffman Branch - HU-1A: A small section of zero order restoration is proposed directly upstream
of HU-1. Proposed construction activities will be identical to those associated with the downstream
reach, but will transition into a braided system for approximately 171 If. Modeling indicates that the
watershed associated with this section will not support flow within a single thread channel. As a
result, this section will transition into a zero order, headwater system.
Huffman Branch - HU-2: This reach will be restored through the backfilling and/or grading of the
existing ditch network in the headwaters. Ditches along the access road are currently diverting
flow from approximately 40 acres to the western tributary (HU-1), resulting in the dehydration of a
majority of the reach. Construction activities will restore a hydrologic connection throughout the 60
• acre watershed, restoring 2,273 If of zero order stream and associated riparian habitat.
14
n
Bachelors Delight Swamp - BD112: The drainage connection between the headwaters of this reach
and the downstream section of Bachelors Delight Swamp (BD-3) has been severed by the
construction of Maready Road. Extensive bedding and logging have also reduced the extent of
riparian habitat associated with this reach. Restoration of this section will reestablish a hydrologic
connection through the installation of properly sized culverts underneath Maready Road. These
features will reestablish the connection to the 60 acre drainage basin, sufficient to provide flow to
approximately 447 If of zero order stream.
Conditions along the northern side of Maready Road have also deteriorated due to logging
practices. Any existing silvicultural bedding will be removed and recontoured to reestablish the
natural valley slope. Channelized sections of BD-1 and 2 will also be backfilled to the natural
grade. As a result of these activities water tables within the surrounding areas will be elevated,
supporting the target riparian community and zero order stream system.
Bachelors Delight Swamp - BD-4A: The headwaters of this reach have been managed for
agricultural production since the 1970s. As a result, a majority of the hardwood species have been
removed and only a limited number of bald cypress saplings remain. Several large collector canals
and a network of lateral ditches currently direct flow to the eastern branch of Bachelors Delight
Swamp (BD-5). These manipulations have reduced the hydrologic input from the natural
watershed significantly and have compromised the aquatic functions of the stream throughout
much of the reach.
Proposed construction activities will focus on reestablishing the hydrologic connection between the
headwaters and the downstream section of this reach. Each plug and canal will be backfilled to the
existing grade and field crowns will be removed. Additional backfilling associated with the non-
riparian wetland restoration will also be conducted to provide additional hydrologic input. The
footprint of the proposed zero order system will be based on historic aerial photography (1938)
which includes two narrow corridors within the headwaters. Final elevations will be contoured to
facilitate drainage into the downstream section of the reach. Following construction activities, a

15
. majority of the 80 acre drainage basin will be restored, supporting up to 1,274 If of zero order
stream restoration.
Bachelors Delight Swamp - BD-4: The downstream section of this reach has also experienced
flow reductions due to the extensive hydrologic modifications within the headwaters. These
modifications have effectively removed natural hydrologic input from a majority of the reach
resulting direct mortality to the aquatic species. The proposed construction activities associated
with BD-4A will restore the natural drainage pathways, rehydrating the existing braided channel
system. Construction associated with BD-4 will be limited to the section directly adjacent to
Maready Road. At the present time, the existing culverts are clogged with debris, severing the
hydrologic connection to the downstream portion of the reach. As a result, approximately 600-800
If of braided channel has been submerged on the north side of Maready Road. These culverts will
be removed and replaced with a permanent rock ford which will facilitate natural drainage to the
downstream section of the reach. Combined construction activities for the reach will restore up to
2,107 If of zero order stream habitat.
Bachelors Deli ht Swam - BD-5A: Conditions within the headwaters of
9 p this reach are similar to
BD-4A. However, due to the existing drainage network constraints from the adjacent tract
(Hofmann Forest), the opportunity to restore the entire subbasin is not feasible. As a result, only
the western branch has been targeted for zero order stream restoration. Construction within the
open fields will remove existing crowns and backfill and/or plug three lateral ditches. The collector
canal located on the southern boundary of the field will also be plugged and backfilled. Final
elevations will be contoured to facilitate drainage through the existing wetlands located to the south
of the fields.
Removal of the existing soil road will occur following the grading work within the existing fields.
Removal of this road will restore the hydrologic connection between the headwaters and the
downstream section of BD-5. Following completion of all construction activities, the functional
drainage area for this reach will exceed the 25 acre minimum threshold and support flow for up to
1,157 If of zero order stream
•
16
• Half Moon Creek - HM-1A: This section will connect with the single thread channel construction
currently proposed for the downstream section of HM-1. Construction activities will occur on the
north side of Maready Road. During this stage of construction the existing culvert will be removed
and replaced with a.permanent rock ford to facilitate diffuse flow from the upstream portion of the
reach. Work within the headwaters will include backfilling of approximately 2,000 If of existing ditch
and recontouring within the 200' wide valley. Following the earthwork phase, all disturbed areas
will be planted with a mixture of hardwood species associated with the target small stream swamp
community. Based on the existing watershed boundary, up to 901 If of zero order stream will be
restored.
D. Stream Enhancement
The proposed enhancement activities will focus on sections to the south of Maready Road, where
direct impacts to the aquatic system are less acute. Stream enhancement will be achieved through
a variety of approaches across the site. Overall, management activities have reduced the aquatic
functions within several reaches via the alteration of storm-driven hydraulics and removal of in-
stream habitat. In addition, the placement of spoil material within the adjacent floodplain
compromises streamlfloodplain interaction.
Hewitts Branch - HE-3: This section, located south of Maready Road, includes approximately 500
If of stream that has been historically impacted by road construction and silvicultural management
practices. Areas directly adjacent to the road bed have been channelized and culverted to control
runoff and drainage in the vicinity of the constructed road. The existing culvert has not been
maintained and flows are currently restricted due to sediment deposition on the upstream and
downstream sides. As a result, natural flow is impeded.
Channelization has disconnected the stream from the adjacent floodplain. In addition to this
disturbance, a large ditch that parallels the entire western edge of the floodplain intercepts surface
water and groundwater input to the adjacent stream. Spoil piles from the excavation of the stream
currently serve as an artificial boundary to the existing wetlands and divert flow towards HE-1. In
addition to compromising stream function, the incised channel adversely affects the hydroperiod of
the adjacent riparian wetlands. Overall, management activities have reduced the aquatic functions
17
within this reach via the alteration of storm-driven hydraulics and removal of in-stream habitat. In
addition, reduced connectivity of the wetland floodplain reduces the potential for nutrient/pollutant
retention.
Enhancement of aquatic function will be achieved through the restoration of seasonal variation in
flow dynamics via removal of the road bed and the installation of the wet ford. The restoration of a
natural flooding regime (amplitude, timing, etc.) will promote the re-establishment of characteristic
riparian vegetation. The existing ditch along the western edge of the stream valley will also be
filled and restored to the existing grade. Enhancement of riparian wetland hydrology will contribute
to stream baseflow (particularly important to stream function during periods of reduced surface
water inflow). Based upon the observed conditions, 500 If of Level II Enhancement is proposed for
this section.
Huffman Branch - HU-3: This section, located south of Maready Road, includes approximately
2,000 If of stream that has been disturbed by road construction and silvicultural management
• practices. Due to the flow restrictions present along Maready Road, this section drains only a
small percentage of its natural watershed. As a result, sections of the channel now resemble
braided systems normally associated with headwater wetland areas. Extensive evidence of
historic logging within the floodplain was also observed throughout the reach, as indicated by the
presence of a non-target vegetative assemblage dominated by sweet gum and red maple saplings
and trees ranging in age from 10 to 20 years.
A majority of the stream channel within this section is stable and will not require any earth work.
The projected enhancement of aquatic function will be realized as a result of the increased flooding
frequency and duration generated from the reestablished connection to the upstream watershed.
This will be achieved through the establishment of two wet fords located within the natural valleys.
Plantings within the adjacent riparian zone will also help to re-establish the appropriate small
stream swamp community. Restoration of characteristic flow regimes will beneficially affect water
quality and habitat diversity. Revegetation within the floodplain will also provide additional shading
for the stream channel and refuge habitat for larger fauna.
1?
18
• Bache/ors De/i ht Swamp - BD-5: This section includes 1,728 If of existing channel located
downstream from BD-5A. A majority of this section has been channelized to accommodate
drainage from the adjacent forestry operations. Enhancement of aquatic function within this area
will be achieved through the removal of the existing soil road and spoil piles located within the
floodplain. Following the removal of these features, natural valley contours will be restored to
facilitate overland flow into the existing channel. The restored floodplain will serve to filter
pollutants and remove sediment, thus improving water quality throughout the reach.
Note that BD-5 was originally targeted for restoration due to the level of channel disturbance
documented. However, it appears as though the surface inflow of the artificially enlarged
watershed would require the construction of a correspondingly enlarged channel and floodplain.
This type of construction is not considered beneficially effective for restoring stream function.
Thus, at this time, the Sponsor proposes only stream enhancement. Further in-situ monitoring of
channel discharge will be required to determine if an alternative design can be implemented.
Should these data indicate that functional uplift can be achieved via channel restoration, than a
• specific restoration design will be provided for this reach prior to final approval of the mitigation
plan by the IRT and execution of the banking instrument.
Bachelors Deli ht Swamp - BD-6: This section includes approximately 1,700 If of existing channel
that has been impacted by drainage manipulations associated with the construction of Maready
Road. While this section remains in stable condition, hydrologic input from BD-4 is restricted by a
poorly functioning, undersized culvert at the existing road. As a result, flow is not sufficient to
maintain proper channel geometry and hydrate the adjacent floodplain during seasonal flooding
events. These conditions persist until the reach connects with the perennial section of Bachelors
Delight Swamp (BD-7) downstream.
Aquatic functions of this reach will be enhanced via the restoration of the upstream tributary(BD-
4). These activities will restore a more natural, seasonally driven hydrologic regime which
redistributes nutrients between the headwaters and downstream floodplains. Distribution of flow to
the downstream section will be reestablished through the installation of wet ford at the intersection
of Maready Road. Doing so will provide conditions favorable for the development of characteristic
•
19
• invertebrate assemblages. In addition, existing floodplain vegetation will also benefit through the
introduction of nutrients and organic material.
E. Stream Preservation
Approximately 2 miles of Coastal Plain stream will be preserved in conjunction with the
development of the bank site (Figure 7). The areas targeted for preservation range from braided
headwater channels to large bottomland hardwood ecosystems. Stream channels within these
areas retain the characteristic dimension, plan, and profile relative to their watershed. As a result,
the stream/floodplain interaction remains intact and functional. Substantial in-stream habitat, such
as overhanging roots mats, snags, and leaf packs also support a diverse invertebrate community
within each reach (See Appendix D). In addition, sufficient canopy coverage also exists to regulate
stream temperatures during summer months.
Hewitts Branch - HE-2: The upper reach of the Hewitts Branch tributary (HE-2), north of Maready
Road, has experienced relatively minor silvicultural impacts, and retains a wide, intact wetland
• community. Preliminary data suggest that this reach would be classified as a DA5 channel. As
with most headwater systems, a majority of the flow is directed through a series of braided
channels of varying widths and depths. The gentle, sloping topography ranging from +40' MSL to
+50' MSL supports a broad floodplain canopy comprised of several native hardwood species.
These species include mature water oak (Quercus nigra), swamp chestnut oak (Quercus
m/chaux/4, and American holly.
Approximately 1,900 If of braided channel have been proposed for preservation in this reach. The
adjacent riparian wetlands have also been targeted for preservation based upon the native
hardwood assemblage composition and lack of silvicultural disturbance.
Hewitts Branch - HE-4: The remaining length of Hewitts Branch, south of the intersection of HE-1,
has been targeted for preservation. The section includes approximately 3,500 If of a high quality
second order stream that has experienced minimal impact from the surrounding silvicultural
management activities. Data indicate that this reach would be classified as a C5 channel. A
is distinct valley is present throughout the lower reaches of the branch with elevations ranging from
20
+30' MSL to +45' MSL. The floodplain is comprised of a natural assemblage of native hardwoods
such as black gum, swamp chestnut oak, and water oak. Approximately 400' of intact floodplain
are present throughout this area.
Huffman Branch - HU-1A: This section, located to the north of HU-1, contains approximately
1,200 If of small, zero order stream channel. The canopy is comprised of a natural assemblage of
native species such as black gum, red bay, and wax myrtle (More//a cerifera). While existing trees
and shrubs indicate logging within the last 10 to 20 years, the stream appears to be stable and
functional. Preservation of the reach as part of the bank project will ensure long-term protection of
the reach and its associated functions.
Bachelors De// htg Swamp - BD-3: This section, located downstream of BD-1/2, has been targeted
for preservation. Located on the south side of Maready Road, this section includes approximately
1,700 If of high quality first order stream that maintains a relatively stable channel and associated
floodplain. Approximately 150' of intact floodplain are present throughout this area with a well-
defined valley that ranges from +32' to +46' MSL. The floodplain is comprised of a natural
assemblage of native species such as black gum, red bay, and water oak.
Bachelors Delight Swamp - BD-7: The remaining section of Bachelors Delight Swamp
encompasses approximately 3,600 If of high quality second-order stream that has been minimally
impacted by the adjacent logging operations (Figure 7). A distinct valley is present throughout this
section with elevations ranging from +28' MSL to +46' MSL. The floodplain is comprised of a
natural assemblage of native hardwoods such as black gum, swamp chestnut oak, and water oak
and would be categorized as a bottomland hardwood ecosystem. Approximately 800' of intact
floodplain are present throughout this area.
F. Stream and Wetland Buffer
Per the 2008 Mitigation Rule, compensatory mitigation may include "the protection and
maintenance of terrestrial resources, such as non-wetland riparian areas and uplands, when these
resources contribute to or improve the overall ecological functioning of aquatic resources in the
watershed" (CFR 332.3(c)(2)). Similarly, a new policy referred to as the buffer effectiveness
21
• correction factor (BCF) recognizes the importance of preserving buffer areas along stream
corridors. Accordingly, the Sponsor proposes a buffer of all wetland and stream areas of the
mitigation site. This buffer area will be a minimum of 150 ft from each side of a stream channel
and will extend into upland areas. The actual area of uplands along each reach is variable
depending upon the width of the valley corridor to be restored, enhance, or preserved. Buffer
areas within existing valley corridors will be protected via the conservation easement deed to be
recorded for the site.
Upland buffer areas outside of the existing valley will be restored via the planting of longleaf pine
(Pins palustris). Based upon project design, approximately 96 ac of upland buffer (outside of the
stream valley) will be restored and protected in perpetuity via the conservation easement deed.
The upland buffer areas exhibit moderately well-drained to well-drained sandy soils (Goldsboro and
Norfolk series). The upland restoration effort is intended to restore the Atlantic Mesic Longleaf
Woodland community (Peet and Allard, 1993) that existed prior to anthropogenic disturbances., In
addition to longleaf pine, this community includes southern red oak (Quercus falcata), post oak
• (Quercus stellata), and water oak. A diverse herbaceous layer may also develop if fire suppression
is minimized. Restoration of this diverse community offers an excellent opportunity to restore
conditions that existed in the late 19th century. In light of the effort to restore and preserve this
upland community type in adjacent uplands, a more favorable ratio for wetland preservation is
requested (see below).
As indicated above, a minimum of 150 ft of buffer is proposed (as measured from each side of the
stream reaches occurring within the project site). In light of the documented benefits of a protected
stream buffer area, the BCF allows for additional stream credits corresponding to a buffer width in
excess of 50 ft of each side of the channel. Total stream credits for Priority I reaches will be based
on two parameters: (1) stream channel or valley length (for zero-order reaches) and (2) the buffer
effectiveness correction factor (BCF). Based upon current guidance, a stream buffer in excess of
150 ft will result in a 1.13 multiplier to the stream credits. Appendix G provides additional
information on specific stream reach totals. The proposed buffer is depicted in Figure 7.

• IV. WETLAND RESTORATION PLAN
A. Riparian Wetland Restoration
Approximately 60 acres associated with the degraded stream systems have been targeted for
restoration. As discussed in the previous section, these areas have been converted to
monoculture pine plantations through silvicultural management activities over the past four
decades. A majority of the targeted areas are located in the transitional zone between the
managed pine stands and the remaining jurisdictional wetlands. The vegetation within these areas
is comprised of red maple, sweet gum, and red bay saplings. Table 3 provides specific information
on the proposed acreages for each wetland type included within the bank site.
Hydrologic Restoration: Characteristic hydrology of riparian areas will be restored through the
reestablishment of natural drainage basins and channel design throughout the site. The proposed
channel work will raise the bed elevation, minimizing subsurface drainage and increasing overbank
flooding within the adjacent floodplain. Restoration of the natural watershed boundaries throughout
• the upstream sections will also increase the effective drainage basin size, which will provide
additional hydrologic input. The proposed restoration footprint for these areas was generated
through the use of HEC-RAS modeling, 1' contour LIDAR data, geomorphic data, and observed
field conditions. For example, the existing jurisdictional wetlands associated with HU-1 are found
•
along the +42' MSL contour. Output from the HEC-RAS modeling projects a flood elevation of 46'
during a 1 Year storm event. This suggests that sufficient hydrologic input from a relatively small
rain event will result in overbank flooding within the valley following stream restoration activities.
These overbank events coupled with the surface inflow of the restored watershed and the elevation
of groundwater levels will re-establish characteristic hydrology of the riparian wetlands.
Vegetative Restoration: The proposed restoration areas will be planted with species typical of a
small stream swamp community. Plantings will include bald cypress (Taxodium distichum), swamp
tupelo (Nyssa Mora), ironwood (Carpinus caroiiniana), and swamp chestnut oak. Trees will be
planted on 9-ft spacings, corresponding to 538 trees per acre. It is expected that other
characteristic species will recruit naturally into these restored areas upon successful hydrologic
restoration.

B. Riparian Wetland Enhancement
Approximately 28 acres of existing jurisdictional wetlands have been targeted for enhancement. At
the present time, these areas are located along narrow fringes adjacent to the degraded stream
systems. Characteristic vegetation has been altered through silvicultural management activities
that included clear-cutting, bedding, and ditching. While these areas technically meet the criteria
for jurisdictional wetlands, excavation and maintenance within the existing channels has
•
24
compromised the natural hydroperiod. As a result, flooding duration and frequency has been
reduced.
Existing wetlands that have been degraded by prior channel excavation will be enhanced via
stream restoration. Elevation of the channel bed and reconnection of the stream to the adjacent
floodplain will re-establish characteristic riparian wetland hydrology. Any areas in which vegetation
is removed as part of the stream restoration effort will be replanted with characteristic riparian
wetland species. As a result of the stream restoration, a natural hydrologic regime and habitat
assemblage will replace the current degraded system. These activities will contribute to additional
biogeochemical cycling and habitat utilization throughout the existing jurisdictional wetland
footprint.
C. Riparian Wetland Preservation
Approximately 52 acres of habitat located along the existing stream reaches has not been
adversely impacted by prior site management activities exhibit relatively natural wetland conditions.
• As such, these areas will remain intact and functional via incorporation into the conservation
easement. These areas generally exhibit mature canopy species (e.g. swamp tupelo and bald
cypress) and characteristic sub-canopy species (e.g. ironwood, American holly, and red bay).
Protection of these corridors will provide habitat connectivity to the vast protected headwater
wetlands of the adjoining Hofmann Forest. Given the relatively undisturbed condition of these
riparian wetlands and the incorporation of upland buffer across the entire bank site (see Section III
(F) above), a 5:1 ratio is proposed for the riparian wetland preservation.
D. Non-Riparian Wetland Restoration
Approximately 152 acres within the project boundary have been targeted for non-riparian wetland
restoration (Figure 7). This area has been actively cultivated for several decades for the
production of soybeans, cotton, and other commodity crops. As part of the conversion to
agricultural fields, an extensive network of ditches and canals was installed to improve drainage. A
majority of the soils are mapped as Pantego loam, a very poorly drained series commonly
associated with shallow depressional areas and broad, interstream flats in the Coastal Plain.
Spacing between the laterals ranges between 330' and 350'. Lateral ditches range in depth from
9 25

• 3'-4', and the larger collector canals range from 5'-7'.
Hydrologic Restoration: Restoration of the 152 ac of non-riparian wetland habitat will be achieved
via the backfilling and/or plugging of ditches. In addition, removal of the roadbeds along the
southern boundary of the fields will allow for surface water to sheetflow into the restore stream
channels. Installation of ditch plugs and associated grading work along secondary and tertiary
ditches will restore characteristic wetland hydrology to the streamhead pocosin and wet pine flat
habitats. Emergency outflow for this section will be provided through the existing boundary ditch
located on the northern edge of the existing field. This feature will convey high flow events towards
the eastern branch of Bachelors Delight Swamp (BD-5), where it will intersect with other ditches
that provide drainage for the Hofmann Forest.
Vegetation Restoration: Following construction activities the area will be planted with characteristic
wetland species coinciding with gradients in landscape position and anticipated hydrologic
conditions. Plantings will be designed to transition from the small stream swamp community to a
. fringe of streamhead pocosin. The streamhead pocosin, located on the outer valley fringe, will be
characterized by a higher density of pond pine concurrent with a decrease in abundance of bald
cypress and black gum. Areas of slightly higher topography occurring within interstream flats will
be planted with increased abundance of pond pine. The shrub layer will be comprised of American
holly and loblolly bay. Other characteristic shrub species (e.g. inkberry, fetterbush, American titi)
will likely volunteer into the area due to the proximity to Hofmann Forest. Tree seedlings will be
planted on 9-ft spacings (equivalent to a density of 538 stems/acre). Shrub species will be planted
on 8-ft spacings (equivalent to a density of 680 stems per acre). Table 5 provides additional
information on species and quantities.
Functional Restoration: Restored wetlands will intercept runoff from adjacent crop fields, dissipate
stormwater velocity, and enhance nutrient and sediment trapping. These restored functions are
likely to have discernible benefits to water quality and habitat downstream. Vegetative restoration
will provide for increased foraging and refuge habitat for resident and migratory species. In light of
acute development pressures in this region of eastern North Carolina, the White Oak River Basin is
particularly susceptible to loss of wetland functions and associated watershed impacts. By
•

Delight Wetland and Stream Mitigation Bank will help to replace wetland functions critical to water
quality and wildlife habitat in the area.

E. Non-Riparian Wetland Preservation
Approximately 124 acres of non-riparian wetlands, located within the headwaters of HU-1, will be
included within the conservation easement. Although this block has been managed for silvicultural
production, extensive ditching and/or bedding has been limited to the perimeter of the block. As a
result, hydrologic input from the block provides baseflow for the zero order and first order sections
of Huffmans Branch. Microtopographic variation within the block also provides surface storage
which modulates peak flow during large rain events, limiting erosion within the restored channel.
• Vegetation within the block consists of a mixture of loblolly pine and native hardwoods that have
27
0 remained undisturbed for 20 years. The relative maturity of the stand will provide valuable refuge
habitat and serve as a corridor for migratory wildlife between the Hofmann Forest and the
surrounding bank site. Given the potential benefits to habitat and water quality that these non-
riparian wetlands provide a 5:1 ratio is proposed for this section of preservation.
F. Reference Wetland/Stream Monitoring
LMG has identified multiple reference areas within the existing wetland stream communities within
the property. The preservation areas of Hewitts Branch (HE-2) contain a stable, intact stream
system and adjacent riparian community. This feature will likely serve as a reference for both zero
order stream and riparian wetland habitat, as no alterations to the existing watershed are proposed
for this section. The lower reach of Hewitts Branch (HE-4) contains a single thread channel stream
and a small stream swamp/bottomland hardwood community suitable for use as a reference area.
Hydrologic monitoring equipment will be installed in these two areas prior to initiation of
construction activities. An array of three monitoring wells (WM-40s) will be installed across the
10 existing valley at each of the two locations. These gauges will record water table depths within the
riparian wetlands and water depth within the stream channel on a daily basis. The calibration point
of the in-stream well will correspond to the bankfull elevation of the stream channel. As a result,
positive readings (calculated above the calibration point) will provide evidence of overbank
flooding. These data will then be compared to those from the adjacent riparian wetlands to
develop a regression analysis that correlates rainfall to stream discharge. Similar monitoring
techniques will be applied to those areas targeted for restoration and enhancement in order to
determine the success of the proposed design.
V. BANK IMPLEMENTATION
The Bank Sponsor (WREDCO) will enter into a binding agreement with The Endowment Fund of
North Carolina State University to implement the proposed bank. Together, these entities own fee
simple title for the entire bank site. The Sponsor and The Endowment have control of all ditches
affecting groundwater hydrology of the site. Since the restoration is premised on re-establishment
of groundwater hydrology via removal of ditches, all water rights necessary for sustainability of the
28

•
•
bank are secured through the fee simple ownership. Upon execution of the MBI, a conservation
easement deed for The Endowment Fund acreage will be conveyed to the NC State Natural
Resources Foundation (Foundation) (a 501 (c)3 entity).
Both Weyerhaeuser (WEYCO) and the Foundation have demonstrated experience in mitigation
site implementation and habitat restoration. WEYCO has conducted previous wetland restoration
projects in sites in Louisiana and is routinely engaged in reforestation and habitat restoration
projects. Thus, the Sponsor is well-versed in site restoration techniques, reforestation practices,
and site management. In addition, the Foundation is an integral part of the land grant mission of
NC State University. As a result, it is responsible for the procurement and management of tracts of
land throughout North Carolina. The Foundation is also responsible for the operation and
management of the Hofmann Forest Bank located immediately adjacent to the proposed Bachelors
Delight Bank. Design and monitoring expertise is provided by LMG and Ko-Florence Hutcheson
(stream designer). Both LMG and Ko have designed and implemented numerous large-scale
restoration projects for full-delivery (EEP and NCDOT) and project-specific permit mitigation.
Many of the site evaluations (e.g. soil profile descriptions, hydrologic monitoring and modeling, and
vegetative surveys) have been completed for the site. One reach (BD-5) continues to be
monitored in the event a viable restoration design can be developed. If data support a viable
restoration approach, then the design for this reach will be submitted prior to plan approval. The
Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI) will also be submitted during the plan review. Upon
acceptance of the final mitigation plan by the IRT and execution of the MBI by all parties, the Bank
Sponsor will record a conservation easement deed for the site and will initiate proposed
construction activities. Mitigation bank credits will be calculated using the following standard:

Use of credits from the Bank to offset wetland and stream impacts authorized by federal permits or
state water quality certifications must be in compliance with the Clean Water Act, Section 404
(b)(1) guidelines and other applicable federal and state legislation, regulations, and policies. Prior
to release of bank credits, the following requirements will be met: (1) approval of the final mitigation
plan and execution of the MBI; (2) recordation of the conservation easement deed; and (3)
establishment of appropriate financial assurances. Given the aforementioned ratios for wetland
• and stream restoration, it is estimated that 249 wetland restoration equivalent credits and 26,507
30
stream credits will be derived from the establishment of the Bachelors Delight Wetland and Stream
Mitigation Bank.
The tentative schedule for establishment of the bank site is outlined in Table 7.
Upon execution of the MBI, a conservation easement deed for the site will be conveyed to the NC
State Natural Resources Foundation (a 501 - (c) 3 entity). The terms and conditions of the
conservation easement will ensure the protection of the site in perpetuity. The ownership of the
Bank will reside with the Sponsor until completion of the debiting of the Bank. The Foundation will
be responsible for long-term protection and management of the site. The easement prohibits any
activities (e.g. timbering, farming, building, etc.) that would alter the environmental state of the
Bank site. Conditions of the easement will not restrict passive recreational, educational, and/or
research activities.
The Bank Sponsor will be responsible for securing appropriate financial assurances in the form of
construction, monitoring, and maintenance bonds to cover contingency measures in the event of
Bank default or failure. Performance monitoring will be conducted for a 7 -year period subsequent
to project construction. Annual monitoring will evaluate the development of wetland function and
document site performance relative to established success criteria. In addition, monitoring
activities will identify any site deficiencies that may warrant remedial action. Monitoring reports
documenting site success and/or failure will be submitted to the IRT each year. Upon submittal of
annual monitoring reports demonstrating the fulfillment of site success criteria, stream and wetland
credits will be released according the approved credit release schedule.
The Sponsor shall develop accounting procedures for maintaining accurate records of debits
made from the Bank that is acceptable to the IRT. Such procedures shall include the generation
of a debit report by the sponsor documenting all credits used at the time they are debited from
the bank. Debit reports shall be provided to each member of the IRT within 30 days of the date
of credit sale. In addition, the sponsor shall prepare an Annual Report to be provided to each
IRT member within thirty (30) days of each anniversary of the date of execution of the MBI,
showing all credits used and the balance of credits remaining. The sponsor's reporting
•
31
obligations hereunder shall end upon the sale of all credits or termination of the MBI, whichever
event first occurs.

• A POST-CONSTRUCTION MONITORING
A. Wetland Restoration/Enhancement Success Criteria
The wetland restoration effort will be evaluated based upon performance criteria related to
vegetative density and wetland hydrology. Monitoring will be conducted at the site an annual basis
for a period of seven (7) years. Note that non-planted individuals of characteristic wetland species
may volunteer into the restored site. Suitable volunteers are an important component to the
restored wetland as they serve as indicators for appropriate hydrologic regimes and provide
increased diversity. The presence of suitable volunteers demonstrates trending of the site toward
vegetative success.
The primary success criteria for the Bachelors Delight Wetland and Stream Mitigation Bank will be:
T Demonstrated density of planted species to meet or exceed 320 trees per acre at the end of three
years (post planting), 260 trees per acre at the end of five years, and 210 (seven year old)
character canopy tree species per acre at the end of seven years. The IRT may allow for the
counting of acceptable volunteer species toward the 210-tree per acre density upon the review and
. evaluation of the annual monitoring data.
32
•
2 If, within the first three years, any species exhibits greater than 50% mortality, the species will either
be re planted or an acceptable replacement species will be planted in its place.
3. The hydrologic criterion is premised on the specific community type to be restored.
(a) For the non-riparian pine flat (drier variety), the hydrologic criterion will be the
establishment of a static water table at, or within, 12" of the soil surface for 6% of the
growing season' (equivalent to 13 days based upon a growing season from April 8th
through November 51h) during periods of normal rainfall.
(b) For the non riparian pocosm (wetter variety), the hydrologic criterion will be the
establishment of a static water table at, or within, 12" of the soil surface for 10% of the
growing season (equivalent to 21 days based upon a growing season from April 8th
through November 5th) during periods of normal rainfall.
(c) For the small stream swamp (headwater riparian) community (zero-order
geomorphic position), the hydrologic criterion will be the establishment of a static water
table at, or within, 12" of the soil surface for 12.5% of the growing season (equivalent to
27 days based upon a growing season from April 8th through November 51h) during
periods of normal rainfall.
Vegetation Monitoring: The vegetation monitoring protocol is adapted from the accepted methods
used for wetland restoration sites within North Carolina. Given the size of the project, 2% of the
planted wetland areas will be monitored via the establishment of permanent 0.10-acre plots.
These areas include approximately 166 acres in two different habitat types. Given the proposed
acreage, a total of 34 plots will be established. GPS coordinates for the centers of each sampling
plot will be recorded and included with the 'as-built' survey and subsequent annual monitoring
reports. During monitoring, surviving planted individuals and volunteer individuals will be identified
and enumerated within each plot.
Hydrology Monitoring: Shallow groundwater hydrology will be monitored via ten (15) automated
wells (RDS, Inc. WM-20s) located within the non-riparian restoration areas. This equates to
approximately one well for every 10 acres of wetland area to be restored. Additional wells will be
I As determined from long-term climatic data of published in NRCS Onslow County Soil Survey (Maysville station).
33
. installed in perpendicular arrays within the riparian zone of the first order and zero-order stream
corridors. Wells will be installed in accordance with installation methods outlined in the Wetlands
Regulatory Assistance Program (WRAP) Technical Note 00-02 (Sprecher, 2000). Water levels will
be recorded once daily. Data will be downloaded from the wells every three months (i.e. once
quarterly). Data from well downloads will be compiled and graphically displayed to demonstrate
hydroperiods of monitored areas. The data will be analyzed in the context of the antecedent
rainfall conditions which will also be displayed on well hydrographs.
Annual monitoring reports will provide quantitative data of vegetative success, qualitative
observations, and conclusions pertaining to mitigation site development. In addition, comparative
hydrographs of the restoration areas and corresponding reference areas will be provided.
Monitoring reports will be submitted to the IRT no later than February 15th of the following year.
B. Stream Restoration Success Criteria
The primary success criteria for the First Order Stream systems will be:
Documentation of 2 bankfull events using techniques discussed below within a normal rainfall year
in 3 of the 5 years of monitoring. Additional monitoring may be necessary in the event of abnormal
climatic conditions.
The primary success criteria for the Zero Order/Headwater Stream systems will be
Documentation of 2 flow events using techniques discussed below within a normal rainfall year in 3
of the 5 years of monitoring. Additional monitoring may be necessary in the event of abnormal
climatic conditions.
Level 1 Monitoring will be required for the stream portion of the Bachelors Delight Wetland and
Stream Mitigation Bank as detailed in the Stream Mitigation Guidelines, April 2003. Monitoring will
occur every year for the five year monitoring period. Monitoring reports will be prepared each
monitoring year and will include completed Channel Mitigation Monitoring Sheets with current data,
a discussion of any deviations, and whether they are indicative of a stabilizing or destabilizing
situation.
•
34
0 Level 1 Monitoring includes the following:
(1) Photo-Documentation
Extensive photo documentation is proposed for the stream monitoring phase of this project.
Photos will be taken at all permanent cross-sections on a bi-annual basis (winter and summer) in
addition to any problem areas that may develop after construction is completed. Photos will be
georeferenced to the corresponding cross-section and/or problem area as part of the submitted
report. Photo documentation will also be used to document the health of the riparian area
plantings and the effectiveness of any erosion control measures.
(2) Ecological Function
The health of the riparian vegetation will be documented as part of the wetland restoration
monitoring efforts. Multiple 0.10 ac. permanent monitoring plots will be established throughout the
riparian wetland restoration including areas directly adjacent to the restored channel. The success
criteria for wetland restoration is provided in Part A of Section V.
• Macroinvertebrate sampling is also proposed for Year 3 and Year 5 of the monitoring Period which
will allow for populations to acclimate to the restored channel. Sampling events will take place
during the winter months, which typically support greater species richness. Sampling will be
conducted based on the NCDENR Standard Operating Procedure for Macroinvertebrates. All data
will be compared to pre-construction results which will be collected prior to the initiation of
construction in early 2010.
(3) Channel Stability/Survey Procedures
a. Cross-Sections
The Bachelors Delight Wetland and Stream Mitigation Bank will restore 16,761 If of Coastal Plain
stream. The restoration will mimic low gradient, low velocity stream reaches characteristic of the
outer Coastal Plain. No hardened materials (i.e. rock structures) will be used. Rather, natural
materials (such as root wads and log vanes) will assist with channel stabilization and grade control.
Given the size, uniform design, and gentle slope (0.005) of the proposed project, cross-sections
will be established every 1,000 feet of stream length (totaling 23 permanent stations). Placement
•
35
of these stations will be designed to assess the performance of potential problem areas (e.g.
severe erosion, structural failure, etc.). These stations will also be evenly distributed between
riffles and pools throughout the project. Refer to Table 8 for proposed placement of cross-section
monitoring stations.

b. Longitudinal Profiles
Guidelines regarding longitudinal profiles for projects totaling over 3,000 If suggest that 30% of the
area be surveyed on an annual basis. Based on this guideline, a total of 4,850 If of profile would
be required for the Bachelors Delight project. The 4,850 If of survey will be divided throughout the
individual reaches and will include the permanent cross-sections (Table 9). Data presented in the
annual monitoring reports will be shown in comparison to as-built conditions.
c. Stream Flow Monitoring (First Order Channel)
Documentation of stream flow within the project will also be conducted. Following stream
construction activities, six (6) stream gauges (two in each first order channel) will be installed.
Three additional gauges will also be installed throughout the areas targeted for enhancement.
These gauges will measure the elevation of water in the channel on a daily basis and will be used
to determine the cross-sectional area of the channel under a variety of flow conditions.
In addition to these data, velocity measurements will be collected within 24 hours of a 0.5, 1.0, and
0 36

2.0 inch rain event at each gauge location during Year 1 monitoring. Measurements will be
collected at 1-foot intervals across the restored channel at depths of 0.5 ft. above the bottom. This
information will be used to compute a total discharge measured in cubic feet per second for each
reach for the duration of the monitoring activities. All data will then be used to develop a
16 regression analysis which will define the relationship between rainfall events and total stream
discharge. These data will be presented in graphical format with individual bankfull and high flow
events highlighted.
d. Stream Flow Monitoring (Zero Order/Headwater)
While the monitoring protocol for restored first order streams is well . established, flow
documentation within zero-order stream systems is the topic of on-going research throughout the
Coastal Plain. Both qualitative and quantitative information will be used to document the
occurrence of flow within the proposed restored zero-order stream valley.
Quantitative data will be collected using automated shallow groundwater monitoring wells installed
in perpendicular arrays across the valley to assist in identification of riparian wetlands and to
increase the density of data points for analysis of hydrographs up and across the valley. Arrays
will be approximately 1,000 feet apart (along the long axis) for each valley. The center well in each
array will be in the lowest part of the valley and the number of wells in the array will be dependent
0
37
0 upon width and slope of each valley. Data collected from these wells will then be correlated with
elevation data from the longitudinal profiles to infer flow. Open channel flow monitoring equipment
may be used to calculate specific flow velocities and duration in each of the five restored reaches.
Site visits will also be conducted following rain events to document the upstream extent of
observed flow within each reach. GPS data will be collected to mark this location. These data in
addition to the flow monitoring data will also be used to calibrate a regression analysis which will
establish a relationship between rain event size and stream flow. This analysis will then be
extrapolated to future rain events to highlight the number of flow events on an annual basis.
Qualitative data will be collected during the on-site investigations to document surface water flow.
This shall be accomplished using photographic evidence of observed flow coupled with a
preponderance of field indicators of recent flow events in the form of a natural line impressed on
the bank; shelving; changes in soil characteristics; destruction of terrestrial vegetation; presence of
litter and debris; wracking; vegetation matted down, bent or absent; sediment sorting; leaf litter
disturbed or washed away; scour; deposition; bed and bank formation; water staining; or change in
• plant community. All field indicators present will be documented in each monitoring report. All
quantitative and qualitative data will be used to document the upstream limit of flow, which will
provide the basis for length of successful zero order stream restoration (i.e. valley length).
While published research supports the restoration of streams with similarly sized watersheds in
eastern North Carolina, inconsistencies in design or construction may result in non-compliance with
the approved mitigation plan. If insufficient flow is observed during the course of post-construction
monitoring the total number of stream credits may be reduced to reflect the extent of documented
flow or converted to wetland credit per the review and approval of the IRT. Prior to any changes in
the amount of available credit, a formal review of the available data would be requested by the
Bank Sponsor.
C. Stream Enhancement Success Criteria
The primary success criterion for the First Order Stream Enhancement will be:
0
38
Documentation of increases in flow duration and frequency compared to pre-construction
conditions during periods of normal rainfall.
As discussed in the previous sections, a majority of the stream enhancement will occur through the
reestablishment of interconnectivity with the upstream portions of the watershed. This
reestablishment will increase the functional acreage of the watershed, corresponding to increased
flow frequency and duration in the lower sections of each stream. In order to determine the extent
of flow enhancement, three additional gauges (one per reach) will be installed prior to construction.
Recorded data will be combined with cross-sectional survey information to determine pre-
construction discharge levels. These data will serve as the baseline for the remainder of the
project.
VIII. SITE MANAGEMENT
• A. Adaptive Management
The Bachelors Delight Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank is planned and designed to be self-
sustaining over time, but some active management or maintenance may be necessary to ensure
the long term sustainability of the mitigation efforts. The adaptive management approach involves
analysis of monitoring results to identify potential problems occurring on the site and the
identification and implementation of measures to rectify those problems. Remedial actions may
include, but are not limited to, mechanized earth work (e.g. adjustment to the invert elevations of
earthen plugs) or supplemental planting in the event areas do not meet vegetative success criteria.
Prior to initiating any remedial actions the proposed measures will be submitted to the IRT for
review and approval.
Performance and functioning of the mitigation site may be affected by various causative factors,
both natural and anthropogenic. Natural hazards may include invasive species and/or excessive
herbivory. Human errors may include design flaws, construction deviation, and/or inadequate
planting coverage. To minimize these potential problems, the following strategies may be
employed:
•
39
•
1. If herbivory appears to be jeopardizing the survivorship of planted species, discussions
with appropriate agencies will be initiated to determine an appropriate course of action.
2. Beavers will be trapped from the tract if significant damage appears to be caused by
beaver activity.
3. Construction errors will be identified as early as possible via the as-built report. If it
appears as those potential errors jeopardize the integrity of the project, appropriate
remedial action will be identified and submitted to the USACE for concurrence prior to
implementation.
4. Planting errors in spacing density or coverage will be minimized by careful
coordination with planting crews. An account of planted stems will be provided with
the as-built report.
5. If monitoring indicated a potential design flaw, remediation options will be reviewed.
6. In the event groundwater monitoring wells are damaged by bears, barb-wire fencing
and/or other acceptable deterrents may be used to protect wells from further damage.
• B. Long-Term Management
The mitigation approach and establishment of mitigation site boundaries has been designed to
minimize long term management issues. As a result, the potential for hydrologic and boundary
conflicts have been minimized. The Sponsor has identified the NC State Natural Resources
Foundation, Inc. (a 501 (c)3 entity of North Carolina State University) as a potential grantee of the
conservation easement deed. The recorded conservation easement deed will ensure the
protection of the project in perpetuity.
VII. CONCLUSION
The establishment, use, and operation of the Bachelors Delight Stream and Wetland Mitigation
Bank will provide a quality compensatory mitigation alternative for authorized wetland impacts
occurring within the White Oak River Basin. The bank will be established and operating in advance
of development impacts in the area. Therefore, its use will help to reduce uncertainty in the CWA
0
40
Section 404 permit program by having established compensatory mitigation credit available to
applicants. In addition, the Bank will more effectively replace wetland and stream functions within
the watershed through consolidation of design, implementation, monitoring, and management of
mitigation activities (Fed. Reg., 1995).
Based upon the current USACE jurisdictional determination and detailed site investigations, over
25,000 If of stream and 246 acres of wetlands have been degraded by historical land-use activities
(including ditch excavation and clearing for timber production). The proposed bank will provide for
a watershed-level restoration approach for the headwater complex of the Bachelors Delight
Stream. Through the implementation of the proposed mitigation activities and the placement of a
protective real estate mechanism (i.e. conservation easement), degraded habitats and associated
functions will be restored. Together with the adjacent protected lands of Hofmann Forest, the
project will provide water quality and habitat benefits on a watershed and regional level.

New Guidance on Jurisdictional Determinations
On June 5, 2007, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) implemented a new method
for performing jurisdictional determinations (JD) pursuant to the Clean Water Act
(CWA). This new process is a result of the recent Supreme Court decisions (United
States v. Rapanos and United States v. Carabell) and now requires the COE to conduct
extensive reviews when determining if certain waterbodies, including wetlands have a
significant nexus (connection) to Traditional Navigable Waters.
i Since this Office has reviewed and verbally approved a jurisdictional determination for
your property prior to June 5, 2007, we have finalized this JD using the previous process.
However, if you, as the property owner, are interested in having your property evaluated
under the new guidance or have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Brad
Shaverat 910-251-4611.

Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points
to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the
characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a
characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the
comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture
into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each
reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the
highest quality.
Total Score (from reverse):32 Comments: Form was completed under drought conditions. Although the
low score accurately reflects the fact that it is a man-made ditch it is likely to have water in the channel and/or flow during the winter

Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by' determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points
to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the
characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a
characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the
comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture
into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each
reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the
highest quality.

Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points
to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the
characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a
characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the
comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture
into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each
reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the
highest quality.

Provide the following information for the stream reach under assessment:
1. Applicant's name: WREDCO attn: Sandy McLendon 2. Evaluator's name: Corey Novak
3. Date of evaluation: 1/13/09 4. Time of evaluation: 15:00
5. Name of stream: Batchelors Delight Swamp 6. River basin: New River
7. Approximate drainage area: +/- 200 acres 8. Stream order: First
9. Length of reach evaluated: 200 feet 10. County: Onslow
11. Site coordinates (if known): prefer in decimal degrees. 12. Subdivision name (if any): n/a
Latitude (ex. 34.872312): 34.8533 Longitude (ex. -77.556611): 77.4394
Method location determined (circle): GPS Topo Sheet Ortho (Aerial) Photo/GI Other GIS Other
13. Location of reach under evaluation (note nearby roads an an mar cs and attach map identifying stream(s) location):
(see GIS map showing data points)
14. Proposed channel work (if any): proposed channel restora tion
15. Recent weather conditions: variable
16. Site conditions at time of visit: cold, rain
17. Identify any special waterway classifications known: -Section 10 -Tidal Waters -Essential Fisheries Habitat
-Trout Waters -Outstanding Resource Waters Nutrient Sensitive Waters -Water Supply Watershed (I-IV)
18. Is there a pond or lake located upstream of the evaluation point? YE NO yes, estimate the water surface area:
19. Does channel appear on USGS quad map. YES O 20. Does channel appear on USDA Soil Survey? YES O
21. Estimated watershed land use: 0% Residential 0 % Commercial 0 % Industrial 0 % Agricultural
40 % Forested 60 % Cleared / Logged 0 % Other (
22. Bankfull width: 6 23. Bank height (from bed to top of bank): 3"

25. Channel sinuosity: Straight -Occasional bends -Frequent meander X Very sinuous -Braided channel
Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points
to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the
characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a
characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the
comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture
into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each
reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the
highest quality.
