SUBJECT: Application for Nationwide 27 Authorization for the Implementation of the
Jarmans Oak Stream and Wetland Restoration Project in Onslow County
Please find enclosed with this letter the following items:
1) Preconstruction Notification (PCN) Form (6 copies to DWQ);
2) Conservation easement plat (6 copies to DWQ);
3) Detailed Wetland Restoration Plan (6 copies to DWQ), including Categorical Exclusion and
4) Restoration Plan Approval Letter from NCEEP (6 copies to DWQ);
5) Letter from SHPO (6 copies to DWQ);
Project Purpose and Description
The purpose of this letter is to provide you with information concerning the Jarmans Oak Stream
and Wetland Restoration Site (SITE). The owner/applicant, Restoration Systems, LLC (RS), is
proposing stream and wetland restoration at the Site to assist the North Carolina Ecosystem
Enhancement Program (EEP) in fulfilling its mitigation goals in the White Oak River Basin
Cataloging Unit 03030001. The SITE is located approximately 3 miles west of Richlands in
Onslow County within the USGS Hydrological Unit 003030001010010 (North Carolina Division
of Water Quality [NCDWQ] Subbasin 03-OS-02) of the White Oak River Basin (Figures 1, 2).
The SITE is characterized by active row crop production, narrow forest fringes and residential
sites. Under existing conditions, SITE streams (3 unnamed tributaries to the New River) are
characterized as highly degraded, incised, eroding channels. Agricultural practices constitute
major point sources of pollution and on-going sedimentation erosion. Additional stream impacts
include bank collapse and erosion, changes in stream power, sediment transport and loss of
characteristic riffle/pool complex morphology. Site floodplains and historical wetlands have
been impacted by deforestation, vegetation maintenance, agricultural chemical application,
stream channelization, and groundwater draw-down from stream channel downcutting. Land use
within the upstream watershed is very similar to that in the immediate project area...rural
agricultural and scattered residential sites interspersed with narrow bands of forest. Less than
10% of the watershed is impervious.

The primary goals of this restoration plan include 1) construction of a stable, riffle-pool stream
channel; 2) enhancement of water quality functions in the on-site, upstream, and downstream
segments of the channel; 3) creation of a natural vegetation buffer along restored stream
channels; 4) reestablishment of historic wetland functions; 5) restoration of wildlife functions
associated with a riparian corridor/stable stream, and 6) restoration of aquatic habitat to support a
more diverse aquatic community. The proposed restoration plan is expected to produce
approximately 6,640 stream mitigation units (SMUs) from the restoration and enhancement of
SITE tributaries, and approximately 12 riparian (riverine) wetland mitigation units (WMUs).
Project Impacts to Jurisdictional Areas
Portions of three degraded, unnamed perennial stream channels (Main Trib, West Trib and East
Trib) will be impacted in order to accomplish restoration goals. Implementation of stream
restoration methodologies and execution of stream restoration designs will involve constructing
new channels adjacent to existing channels, followed by diversion of natural stream flow into
new channels. Recharging new channel with stream flow will occur only after new channel is
stabilized. Pump around methods are likely to be employed, where juxtaposition of new and old
channels require dewatering portions of the existing channel while new channel construction is
underway. Pump around protocols involve the use of hydraulic pump(s) to divert stream flow to
a lower section of existing stream during critical phases of channel construction.

*Note: This figure reflects 30 feet for proposed fjord at station 3U+UU. ror credit purposes (AMU), the
actual value will be 7,623.
Each of the old, existing stream channels will be backfilled following activation of newly
constructed channels. Backfilling of old channels will provide microtopograhpic variability to
facilitate restoration of wetlands in the floodplain of the newly established creek channels.
Stream restoration design focuses on establishing morphological attributes that will facilitate
overbank flooding frequencies to sustain wetland hydrology in adjacent wetland restoration areas
(Figs. 12A and 12B).
Justifications for Project Impacts to Jurisdictional Areas
Each of the three degraded streams will be restored to greater functionality and these restoration
efforts will increase total stream length by approximately 1,151 linear feet. Furthermore, as the
result of stream channel restoration, wetland hydrology will be restored to approximately 11
acres of wetlands that are now functioning as corn-producing uplands.

Protected Species
Based on the most recently updated (January 29, 2007) county-by-county database of federally
listed species in North Carolina posted by the USFWS at http://nc-es.fws.gov/es/countyfr.html,
13 federally protected species are listed for Onslow County. The following table lists the
federally protected species for Onslow County and indicates if potential habitat exists within the
Site for each.
Careful evaluation of habitats within the site by walking reconnaissance confirmed that there is
no suitable habitat for any of the listed species. The habitat matrix is a corn field with drainage
channels coursing through the field and narrow wooded fringes adjacent to the property. As the
result of this evaluation, the project will have No Effect on any listed species.

Cultural Resources
The term "cultural resources" refers to prehistoric or historic archaeological sites, structures, or
artifact deposits over 50 years old. "Significant" cultural resources are those that are eligible or
potentially eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Evaluations of
significance are made with reference to the eligibility criteria of the National Register (36 CFR
60) and in consultation with the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO).
RS submitted a letter to the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) on August 2, 2006,
requesting a search be conducted of archival records for the SITE. SHPO responded on August
30, 2006 that no known recorded archaeological sites occur within the SITE and recommended
that no further investigation be conducted. This documentation provides confirmation that the
project is in compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106
codified at 36 CFR Part 800.

10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The primary
obiectives of this proiect are to restore and enhance existing degraded stream channel
reaches (main, east and west tribs to the New River) and to restore/enhance wetland
functionality to a approximately 17acres of hvdric soils. Efforts will reestablish pattern,
profile and dimension in dysfunctional channels that will ensure long term stability to
these historically relevant drainage features. Approximately 11 acres of drained hvdric
soils within the farm field will be restored as iurisdictional wetlands by restoring
historical floodplain hydrological exchanges from new stream channel designs. Six
additional acres of hvdric soils will be enhanced by surface soil conditioning and
planting. Riparian buffers and over 18 acres of wetland forested communities will add
significant ecological relevance to the headwater ecosystem. Monitoring activities,
including vegetation, hydrology and stream geomorphics will follow implementation.

and an additiona16.1 acres will be enhanced.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USAGE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.

Subject: EXEMPTION
Storn~water Project No. SW880S1133
Jarmans Oak Stream and Weiland Restoration Site
Onslow County
Dear Mr. Tumer:
~7~~24
The Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality received a copy of the CAMA
Major Permit Application for Jarmans Oak Stream and Wetland Restoration Site on November
1, 2006. Staff review of the plans and specifications has determined that the development
activities proposed at this time will not pose a threat to surFace water quality from stormwater
runoff. The Director has determined that projects that are reviewed and approved by the
Division as not posing a water quality threat from stormwater runoff should not be subject to
the stormwater management permitting requirements of 15A NCAC 2H.1000, the stormwater
rules. By copy of this letter, we are informing you that this project will not require a stormwater
management permit.
if the subject project disturbs one acre or more and has a point source discharge of stormwater
runoff, then it is also subject to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
stormwater discharge requirements. You are required to have an NPDES permit for
stormwater discharge from projects meeting these criteria. Please note that the stormwater
rules require the Division to permit the common plan of development, there#ore, any future
development on the property, regardless of whether a CAMA Major permit is also required, will
require a stormwater Management Permit application and permit issuance from the Division of
Water Quality prior to any construction.
If you have any questions or need additional information concerning this matter, please contact
Ms. Linda Lewis at [phone], or at linda.lewis a~?ncmail,net.
Sincerely, ,/~

Contract # D06069-A
Dear Mr. Schiller:
On January 2, 2007 Restoration Systems, LLC submitted the subject Restoration Plan for the
Jarmans Oak Stream and Wetland Restoration Full Delivery Project. The plan proposes to restore
6640 $, and enhance 1205 ft along sections of 3 Unnamed Tributaries to the New River in the White
Oak River Basin. In addition, approximately 11 acres of riparian wetland will be restored and
approximately 6.1 acres of riparian wetland will be enhanced along the stream corridor(s).
The Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) has completed its review of the restoration plan and
has no additional comments at this time. Please proceed with acquiring all necessary permits and/or
certifications and complete the implementation of the earthwork portion of the mitigation project
(Task 4). A copy of this letter should be included with your 401/404 permit applications.
If you have any questions, or wish to discuss this matter further, please contact me at [phone]

Subject: Restoration Plan for Jarmans Oak Full Delivery Project, Contract Number D06069-A
Dear Mr. Pearce:
Based on our phone conversation on March 29, 2007, Restoration Systems agrees that the
hydrological success criteria for the site will be modified. The first sentence of the first
paragraph of section 7.4 (page 32) of the Restoration Plan will be edited to read:
"Target hydrological characteristics include saturation or inundation for 8-12% within Muckalee
soils (riverine wetlands) of the growing season, during average climatic conditions."
I trust you find this change acceptable. Please feel free to contact at me 755-9490 if you
have any questions.

Re: Request for Letter of Concurrence on Jarmans Oak Stream and Wetland Restoration Site, Unslow
County, ER 06-2133
Dear Mr. Jenkins:
Thank you for your letter of August 2, 2006. We have reviewed the information provided in the document and
offer the following comments.
There are no known archaeological sites within the proposed project area. Based on our knowledge of the
area, it is unlikely that any archaeological resources that maybe eligible for inclusion in the National Register of
Historic Places will be affected by the project. We, therefore, recommend that no archaeological investigation
be conducted in connection with this project.
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the
Advisory Cc>Il.ncil on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR
Part 800.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions concerning the above comments,
please contact Renee Gledhill-Farley, environmental review coordinator, at 919-733-4763. In all future
communication concerning this project, please cite the above-referenced tracl~ing number.

RE: Jarmans Oak Stream and Wetland Restoration in Onslow County
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission. (NCWRC) have reviewed the subject project for
impacts to wildlife and Bshery resources. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and
Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Scat. 401, as amended; 16 iJ.S.C. G61 et. seq.), and Sections 401 and 404 of. the Clean
Water Act (as amended).
The project is located north of NC 24 and. west of US 258 approximately 2 miles west of Richlands in Onslow
County. A letter and vicinity map was submitted for review offish and wildlife issues associated. with the project.
The applicant proposes to restore natural form stream iu an agricultural field. The stream(s) is a tributary of the
New River. The mitigation site will satisfy needs for the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program. {EEP).
There do not appear to be any threatened or endangered species that would be impacted by the project. The New
River and the steams to be restored are classified as C-NSW (nutrient sensitive waters) by the NC :Division of Water
Quality (NCDWQ}.
The Wildlife Resources Commission does not object to this project as proposed. Thank you for the opportunity to
review and comment on this project, if you have any questions or require additional information regarding these
comments, please call me at (9I0) 796-7217.
