(Wildlands) implemented a full delivery project at the Martin Dairy Mitigation Site ("Site")for the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Division of Mitigation Services (DMS)to restore a total of 2,135 linear feet (LF) of perennial streams in Orange County, NC.The Site included the restoration of two unnamed tributaries (Martin Dairy Creek and UT1). The project also restored 10.139 acres (441,654.84 ft2) of riparian buffer at the Site,which will provide 379,169.358 riparian buffer credits.The project Site was planned, designed, and constructed on land surrounding Martin Dairy Creek and its tributary.The Site is located approximately eight miles northeast of Hillsborough, NC and eight miles south of Caldwell, NC (Figure 1) in the Neuse River Basin 8-Digit Hydrologic Unit Code 03020201.The project is located within the Neuse River Basin Hydrologic Unit Code 03020201030030 and NC Division of Water Resources (DWR) Subbasin 03-04-01.The Site drains to Buckwater Creek,which flows to Falls Lake, which is classified as water supply waters (WS-IV) and nutrient sensitive waters (NSW).The 11.155 acre Site is protected with a permanent conservation easement. The project has been planned, designed, and constructed per the Martin Dairy Mitigation Plan (Wildlands, 2017) and the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (effective November 1, 2015). The purpose of the riparian buffer restoration is to provide riparian buffer credits to compensate for buffer impacts within the Hydrologic Unit Code 03020201 and the Falls Lake Watershed. The service area for the riparian buffer credits is depicted in Figure 2. The mitigation credits generated from this Site are listed in Table 1 and shown in Figure 3. 1.2 Project Goals and Objectives Prior to construction activities, the primary degradation on the Site was the original clearing of the Site and channelization of Martin Dairy Creek and UT1.The channelization involved straightening and deepening of the stream (as indicated by the amount of dredge spoil in the floodplain). In the past livestock were grazed on the Site, which contributed to bank sloughing.Table 4 in Appendix 1 presents the pre-restoration conditions in more detail.The restored riparian buffer areas within the Site will aid in protecting water quality. The main objective of the project was to reduce nitrogen and phosphorus loading to the Neuse River tributaries by establishing a forested riparian buffer on land previously used for agricultural purposes. The riparian buffer will immobilize nutrients, reducing quantities available to downstream aquatic ecosystems in the Neuse River Basin. The Site is protected with a 11.155 acre conservation easement. Out of the 11.155 acres, 10.139 acres were restored for Neuse River buffer credit and 1.017 acres will not generate buffer mitigation credit. In general, riparian buffer restoration area widths on streams extend out to 200 feet from top of bank for Neuse River buffer credits. Maps detailing the credit generation are provided in Figure 3. 1.3 Monitoring Year 3 Data Assessment The final mitigation plan was submitted and accepted by DMS in March 2017. Construction activities were completed by Land Mechanic Designs, Inc in July 2017.The planting was completed by Bruton Natural Systems, Inc. in December 2017.The baseline as-built survey for the stream mitigation work was completed by Turner Land Surveying in August 2017 and for the buffer mitigation component in January 2018. Monitoring Year 3 vegetation survey was completed September 2020. Refer to Appendix 1 for detailed project activity, history, contact information, and watershed/site background information. Martin Dairy Buffer Mitigation Site Monitoring Year 3 Annual Report- Final 2 Vegetative performance for buffer restoration areas will be in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0295(n)(2)(B), and (n)(4) (effective November 1, 2015).To meet success criteria, areas generating buffer mitigation credits shall include a minimum of four native hardwood tree species or four native hardwood tree and native shrub species, where no one species is greater than 50 percent of stems, and have a survival of 260 planted stems per acre at the end of the required monitoring period (MY5) (no interim success criteria required). In order for the monitoring to be terminated, DWR must provide written approval of vegetation success of the buffer restoration areas generating buffer credit. Annual monitoring was conducted to assess the condition of the vegetation in September 2020. 1.3.1 Vegetative Assessment The quantity of monitoring vegetation plots was determined in accordance with the Carolina Vegetative Sampling Protocol (CVS Levels II) such that at least two (2) percent of the Site is encompassed in monitoring plots. A total of eight (8)vegetation plots (10 meters by 10 meters) were randomly established between the conservation easement boundaries and five feet from the top of stream banks. The plot corners have been marked and are recoverable either through field identification or with the use of a GPS unit. Reference photographs will be taken at the origin looking diagonally across the plot to the opposite corner on an annual basis. Species composition, density, and survival rates will be evaluated on an annual basis by plot and for the entire site.The extent of invasive species coverage will also be monitored and controlled as necessary. The MY3 vegetative survey was completed in September 2020.The 2020 vegetation monitoring resulted in an average stem density of 359 planted stems per acre,which is above the requirement of 260 stems per acre required at MY5 and 40% less than the baseline density recorded January 2018 (597 stems per acre).There is an average of 9 stems per plot in MY3 compared to 14 stems per plot in MYO. Vegetation plots 6 and 8 have not met the success requirement of 260 stems per acre, with each plot having 243 planted stems per acre. Despite the mortality of planted stems in these plots the number of volunteer species remains high. When accounting for volunteers each of these plots meets the success criteria with the number of stems per acre totaling 1,214 and 3,035 respectively. Refer to Appendix 3 for vegetation plot criteria attainment data, CVS vegetation plot metadata, and vegetation summary tables and Appendix 2 for vegetation plot photographs,vegetation condition assessment table, and monitoring plan view. Tree vigor and vegetative cover along UT1 has improved from MY2. Container trees and tublings were planted in areas of low growth and soil amendments were added to further promote vegetative growth. Supplemental planted areas are shown in Figure 4 in the appendices and a list of planted species can be found in Table 10a.The 0.5 acre low growth area along UT1 received supplemental planting at a density of 140 stems per acre. An additional 6.11 acres of the Site also received light supplemental planting at a density of 70 stems per acre to increase species diversity. Existing trees throughout the Site also received ring sprays to reduce herbaceous competition and promote tree growth. Remedial action will be taken, if necessary in subsequent monitoring years to promote tree growth. 1.4 Monitoring Year 3 Summary Six out of eight vegetation plots met the MY3 success criteria. While tree mortality rate of planted stems in vegetation Plots 6 and 8 increased, the number of volunteer species have also increased. When accounting for volunteers all plots have stem densities well above the success criteria of 260 stems per acre. Summary information/data related to the performance of various project and monitoring elements can be found in the tables and figures in the report appendices. Narrative background and supporting information formerly found in these reports can be found in the Mitigation Plan documents available on Martin Dairy Buffer Mitigation Site Monitoring Year 3 Annual Report- Final 3 DMS's website. All raw data supporting the tables and figures in the appendices is available from DMS upon request. Section 2: METHODOLOGY Planted woody vegetation was monitored in accordance with the guidelines and procedures developed by the Carolina Vegetation Survey-EEP Level 2 Protocol (Lee et al., 2006). A total of eight standard 10 meter by 10-meter vegetation plots were established within the project easement area. Section 3: REFERENCES Breeding, R. 2010. Neuse River Basin Restoration Priorities.
