The Project is located in both Guilford and Randolph County, approximately 5 miles east of Archdale, North Carolina (Figure 1). To access the western portion of the Project, head east from I-74 on NC Highway 62 W, turn right onto Groonetown Rd, after approximately 1.5 miles the site will be on the left. To access the eastern portion of the Project, head east from I-74 on NC Highway 62 W, turn right onto Frazier Farm Rd, after approximately a half mile, the site will be on the left. The coordinates for the western portion of the project are 35.914 °N and-79.884'W. The coordinates for the eastern portion of the project are 35.912 °N and-79.873 'W. Environmental Banc & Exchange, LLC (EBX), a wholly owned subsidiary of Resource Environmental Solutions (RES), is pleased to provide this Monitoring Report for the Bohemian Riparian Buffer Mitigation Project (Project) as a full -delivery buffer mitigation project for the Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) (DMS 9100108). This Project provides riparian buffer mitigation credits for unavoidable impacts due to development within the Randleman Lake Watershed of the Cape Fear River Basin, United States Geological Survey (USGS) 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC — 03030003) (Figure 1). The Project is in accordance with the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 and the Randleman Lake Water Supply Watershed Buffer Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0250. The conservation easement of the Bohemian Project totals approximately 22.78 acres and is divided into two distinct sections (east and west) and includes seven unnamed tributaries that ultimately drain into Randleman Lake approximately 3,000 feet downstream of the Project. Land use within the western portion of the Project was primarily cropland and disturbed riparian forest with the presence of invasive species. Land use within the eastern portion of the Project was primarily actively grazed non -forested pasture and disturbed riparian forest with the presence of invasive species. Furthermore, livestock have historically had access to all stream reaches within the eastern portion of the Project. The lack of riparian trees and the long- term presence of livestock in those areas contributed to bank instability and erosional rills within some riparian zones. The goal of the Project is to restore, enhance and preserve ecological function to the existing stream and riparian buffer by establishing appropriate plant communities while minimizing temporal and land disturbing impacts. Restoration of a native hardwood forest to the riparian buffer and surrounding areas and the removal of livestock aid in filtering runoff from agricultural fields, thereby reducing nutrient and sediment loads to Project channels and the overall watershed. Restoration, enhancement and preservation of the Randleman Lake riparian buffer (as defined in 15A NCAC 02B .0250) results in a reduction of the water quality stressors that affected the Project: livestock access and a lack of a vegetated and/or protected riparian buffer. Immediate water quality benefits and pollutant removal within the vicinity of the Project include the exclusion of livestock access to streams and reduction in nutrient loads from agricultural land - uses. This Project is consistent with the management strategy for maintaining and protecting riparian areas in the Randleman Lake watershed. Project attributes are summarized in Table 1. Bohemian Mitigation Project 1 Baseline Monitoring Report Project 9100108 June 2020 1.2 Monitoring Protocol and Project Success Criteria Annual vegetation monitoring and visual assessments will be conducted. Riparian vegetation monitoring is based on the "Carolina Vegetation Survey -Ecosystem Enhancement Program Protocol for Recording Vegetation: Level 2 Plot Sampling Only Version 4.2". Monitoring plots were installed a minimum of 100 meters squared in size and cover at least two percent of the planted mitigation area. These plots were randomly placed throughout the planted riparian buffer mitigation area (11.81 acres) and are representative of the riparian restoration and enhancement areas where applicable (i.e. when enhancement credit is being generated from supplemental planting under 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (n)). The following data is recorded for all trees in the plots: species, height, planting date (or volunteer), and grid location. All stems in plots are flagged with flagging tape. Data is processed using the CVS data entry tool. In the field, the four corners of each plot were permanently marked with PVC at the origin and metal conduit at the other corners. Photos of each plot are to be taken from the origin each monitoring year. There are 10 fixed vegetation monitoring plots (Figure 2). Photos are to be taken at all vegetation plot origins each monitoring year and be provided in the annual reports. Visual inspections and photos will be taken to ensure that enhancement areas are being maintained and compliant. The measures of vegetative success for the Project are the survival of at least four native hardwood tree species, where no one species is greater than 50 percent of stems, at a density of at least 260 stems per acre at the end of Year 5. Native volunteer species may be included to meet the performance standards as determined by NC Division of Water Resources (DWR). A visual assessment of the conservation easement is also performed each year to confirm: • Fencing is in good condition throughout the site (if applicable); • No livestock access within the conservation easement area; • No encroachment has occurred; • No invasive species in areas were invasive species were treated, • Diffuse flow is being maintained in the conservation easement areas; and • There has not been any cutting, clearing, filling, grading, or similar activities that would negatively affect the functioning of the buffer. Component/ Monitoring Maintenance through project close-out Feature Vegetation Annual Vegetation shall be maintained to ensure the health and vigor of the targeted plant vegetation community. Routine vegetation maintenance and repair activities may include monitoring supplemental planting, pruning, mulching, and fertilizing. Exotic invasive plant species shall be treated by mechanical and/or chemical methods. Any vegetation requiring herbicide application will be performed in accordance with NC Department of Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations. Vegetation maintenance activities will be documented and reported in annual monitoring reports. Vegetation maintenance will continue through the monitoring period. Invasive and Nuisance Visual Invasive and noxious species will be monitored and treated so that none become Vegetation Assessment dominant or alter the desired community structure of the Project. Locations of invasive and nuisance vegetation will be mapped. Project Boundary Visual Project boundaries shall be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between the Assessment mitigation project and adjacent properties. Boundaries are marked with signs identifying the property as a mitigation project and will include the name of the long-term steward and a contact number. Boundaries may be identified by fence, marker, bollard, post, tree -blazing, or other means as allowed by Project conditions and/or conservation easement. Boundary markers disturbed, damaged, or destroyed will be repaired and/or replaced on an as -needed basis. Easement monitoring and staking/ signage maintenance will continue in perpetuity as a stewardship activity. Bohemian Mitigation Project 2 Baseline Monitoring Report Project 9100108 June 2020 Component/ Monitoring Maintenance through project close-out Feature Road Crossing Visual Road crossings within the Project may be maintained only as allowed by conservation Assessment easement or existing easement, deed restrictions, rights of way, or corridor agreements. Crossings in easement breaks are the responsibility of the landowner to maintain. Livestock Fencing (if Visual Livestock fencing is to be placed outside the easement limits. Maintenance of fencing is applicable) Assessment the responsibility of the landowner. 1.3 Project Components This Project generates approximately 484,526.585 W (10.79 acres) of riparian buffer restoration credits on existing non -forested pasture, 72,168.500 fe (1.66 acres) of buffer enhancement credits through livestock exclusion, and 21,958.800 W (0.50 acres) of buffer preservation credits. The restoration and preservation adjacent to the ephemeral Reaches Sa and Ma4 comprises 39,071 W (0.9 acres) of the Project, which is in compliance with 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(7) in that it is only 4.3 percent of the total area of buffer mitigation, which is less than 25 percent of the total area of buffer mitigation (22.10 total acres). In accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(4) and (5), "the area of preservation credit within a buffer mitigation site shall comprise of no more than 25% of the total area of buffer mitigation", only 5.04 acres out of the 6.97 total acres available for preservation credit are allowable to be used to generate mitigation credits. The total mitigation credits that the Bohemian Mitigation Project generate are summarized below and a more detailed table is in Appendix A. Mitigation Totals Used Area Square Feet Credits Restoration 514,428 484,526.585 Enhancement 144,337 72,168.500 Preservation 219,588 21,958.800 Total Riparian Buffer 878,353 578,653.885 1.4 Riparian Mitigation Approach Restoration activities included planting a composition of native bare -root tree species based on reference reach data and excluding livestock from the stream and surrounding riparian area. The restoration of plant communities within the Project not only provide stabilization and improve water quality within the easement limits but also provide ecological benefits to the entire watershed. Enhancement occurred in forested areas within the Project, found in small patches along SQ1, SQ2, and a small portion of Sa, where grazing occurs adjacent to the stream in accordance with the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(6). All livestock was removed from the easement and the fence was installed to exclude access to riparian areas and their associated streams. Preservation was used along Reach MA1, MA3, MA4, and MA5 in accordance with the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(5). Mature hardwood forest is present on the right bank of MA I, on the left and right bank of MA3, on the left and right bank of the most downstream portion of MA4, and on the left and right bank of the most downstream portion of MA5. 1.5 Construction and As Built Conditions Revegetation of the Site included treating invasive species and planting native hardwood bare root trees. Prior to planting, RES prepped the site by spraying and ripping the easement. Piedmont Alluvial Forest is the target community type for the riparian restoration areas. The community is defined by Schafale (2012). Bohemian Mitigation Project 3 Baseline Monitoring Report Project 9100108 June 2020 The planting of bare root trees occurred in May 2020. Deviations from the initial planting plan were due to bare root availability. A list of the planted species can be found in Table 5. Additionally, a temporary and permanent seed mixture was applied in areas where row crops were present. Among a variety of seed, the mixture also included black-eyed susan (Rudbeckia hirta) which is a perennial, pollinator species. 1.6 Baseline Monitoring Performance Monitoring of the 10 fixed vegetation plots was completed on May 11, 2020. Vegetation tables are in Appendix B and associated photos are in Appendix C. MYO monitoring data indicates that all plots are exceeding the interim success criteria of 320 planted stems per acre. Planted stem densities ranged from 850 to 1,214 planted stems per acre with a mean of 1,068 planted stems per acre across all plots. A total of 12 species were documented within the plots. Volunteer species were not noted at baseline monitoring but are expected to establish in upcoming years. The average tree height observed was 1.5 feet. Visual assessment of vegetation outside of the monitoring plots indicates that the herbaceous vegetation is becoming well established throughout the project and no invasive species were observed. The fence has been installed, is in good condition, and is maintaining cattle exclusion. Additionally, there were no signs of encroachment or concentrated flow in the easement area. 2 Reference Lee Michael T., Peet Robert K., Roberts Steven D., and Wentworth Thomas R., 2008.
