Photo Log Forrest Creek Mitigation Bank ii Monitoring Year 3 of 5 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY/PROJECT ABSTRACT The Forrest Creek Mitigation Bank (Bank) is located in Orange County North Carolina within land owned by Milton A. Latta and Sons Dairy Farms, Inc. A permanent conservation easement covers the restored stream and surrounding riparian buffer. This easement defines the Bank's boundaries. The Bank is located on an active dairy farm approximately seven miles northeast of Hillsborough and six miles northwest of Durham in northeastern Orange County, North Carolina. The stream(s) lie within USGS hydrologic unit 03020201020020 in the Neuse River Basin. The North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) classifies the main reach, Forrest Creek, as a WS-II (water supply II), HQW (high quality water), and NSW (nutrient sensitive water). Prior to restoration, pasture land surrounded most of the length of the project reaches and the stream banks lacked strong rooted vegetation (e.g. woody or deep rooted herbaceous vegetation). Due to the lack of bank protection and partially cleared watershed, the stream channels became entrenched within the floodplain and showed signs of high shear stress. In this condition and with regular impacts due to cattle traffic, bank erosion had accelerated and the variety of bed features diminished. Two types of vegetative communities surrounded the stream reaches prior to restoration. The first zone consisted of a mix of woody vegetation that included significant populations of invasive species including privet (Ligustrum sinense), multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), Japanese Stilt Grass (Mircostegium vimineum), Tree-of-Heaven (Ailanthus altissima), and Princess Tree (Paulownia tomentosa). This zone covered the lower section of the UT Forrest Creek and the upper section of Forrest Creek. The second zone consisted primarily of herbaceous vegetation with scattered woody vegetation. The woody vegetation included a mix of natural, invasive, and succession species. This zone covered the remaining restoration areas. The altered conditions of the stream and the riparian buffer reduced water quality and impaired habitat. Pasture derived nutrients flowing untreated through the riparian zone and fine silts sloughing from the incised banks raised biochemical oxygen demand. This with the lack of sufficient reoxygenating riffle features reduced dissolved oxygen within the water column. Water quality had also diminished due to raised turbidity from bank erosion and elevated water temperatures caused by the lack of tree shading. Habitat potential had been reduced by the diminished water quality and loss of physical habitat such as bed features, undercut banks, and a well developed vegetative community. The Forrest Creek reach was restored within the existing floodplain using a Priority II approach and the UT Forrest Creek reach bed was raised to the abandoned floodplain using a Priority I approach. A portion of Forrest Creek immediately above the Forrest Creek restoration reach was enhanced by modifying a downstream crossing that had caused ponding upstream of it. The crossing modification reestablished natural flow and will create a natural channel profile. Above the enhancement area, a section of Forrest Forrest Creek Mitigation Bank 1 Monitoring Year 3 of 5 Creek has been placed under a conversation easement to preserve a functional stream channel and riparian buffer. The remaining impaired riparian buffer was replanted with native woody species to restore ecological function and forested habitat to the buffer. The buffer restoration work is regulated under the Forrest Creek Riparian Buffer Mitigation Bank Agreement signed by the Sponsor and NCDWQ in accordance with 15A NCAC 213.0200 and the memorandum titled "NCDWQ Buffer Interpretation/Clarification #2008-17, January 25th, 2008". This Agreement is in addition to the Forrest Creek Mitigation Bank Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI) signed by the Sponsor and the US Army Corp of Engineers (USACE), the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), the NC Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ), and the NC Wildlife Resouces Commission (NCWRC) all comprising the Interagency Review Team (IRT) formerly the MBRT in accordance with Federal guidelines and regulations including the Compensatory Mitigation losses of Aquatic Resources Final Rule, 33 CFR Parts 325 and 332 and 40 CFR Part 230. The Monitoring requirements as they apply to both the stream and buffer restoration are detailed in the Mitigation Plan section of the NMI. Restoration work resulted in the restoration of 15.1 acres (658,000 square feet) of riparian buffer associated with the restoration of approximately 6,825 linear feet, enhancement I of approximately 325 linear feet, and preservation of approximately 3,005 linear feet of stream (subject of a separate report submitted to the IRT). With the restoration, water quality will be improved due to a decrease in nutrients, turbidity, and moderation in water temperature. Biochemical oxygen demand will be reduced through filtering in the riparian buffer and riverine wetlands. Potential habitats have been added through the creation of bed features and reestablishment of riparian vegetative community. Monitoring Plan The annual monitoring work will assess the Bank's buffer riparian areas to determine restoration success. The monitoring plan has been set up based on guidance provided by The Stream Mitigation Guidelines developed by the United States Corps of Engineers - Wilmington District (McLendon, Scott, Fox, Becky et al. 2003), version 1.2 (11/16/2006) of the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) document entitled "Content, Format, and Data Requirements for EEP Monitoring Reports", version 2.0 (3/27/2008) of the EEP document entitled "Mitigation Plan Document Format, Data Requirements, and Content Guidance", and the Forrest Creek Mitigation Bank Mitigation Plan (May 2008). The monitoring will occur annually for five years with reports to be submitted during years 1-5 by December 31st. Monitoring work will include reference photographs and vegetative stem counts. Mid- Atlantic Mitigation and NCDWQ in coordination with the appropriate regulatory agencies will determine when riparian restoration has met success criteria. The sections below provide a framework for determining and assessing success criteria. The riparian buffer will be monitored for survivability and specific densities of planted vegetation and exclusion of invasive species. The site will be maintained during the Forrest Creek Mitigation Bank 2 Monitoring Year 3 of 5 monitoring period to allow it to continue on a trajectory that meets project goals and success criteria. The site will be replanted if vegetation shows signs of significant failure or if vegetative density goals contained in the NMI are not achieved. Vegetation monitoring took place on August 27th, 2010. Strategies and methodologies laid out in the Monitoring Plan will be followed for a minimum of five years of monitoring. Vegetative success of plantings for buffer restoration will be monitored for species diversity and survival with standardized, permanent (10m by 10m) vegetation plots to be monitored annually for 5 years. Monitoring data will be analyzed to determine what remedial actions, if any, are required. Any remedial actions proposed will be detailed in the following monitoring report. 2.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND 2.1 LOCATION AND SETTING The Forrest Creek Mitigation Bank (Bank) is located in Orange County North Carolina within land owned by Milton A. Latta and Sons Dairy Farms, Inc. A permanent conservation easement covers the restored stream and surrounding riparian buffer. This easement defines the Bank's boundaries. The Bank is located approximately seven miles northeast of Hillsborough and six miles northwest of Durham in northeastern Orange County, North Carolina. The stream(s) lie within USGS hydrologic unit 03020201020020 in the Neuse River Basin. Streams within the Bank consist of two reaches. The larger reach (Forrest Creek) flows through the property from north to south and drains a 3.6 square mile area consisting of predominantly forest and pasture land. The smaller tributary (UT1) flows from west to east before joining with Forrest Creek and drains a 0.1 square mile area consisting of predominantly pasture land. Buffer restoration consists of 15.1 acres (658,000 square feet) of land surrounding these streams. 2.2 STRUCTURE AND OBJECTIVES The goals of the project relate to providing ecological improvements to the Bank's riparian buffers through beneficial modifications of water quality, and habitat. Goals related to water quality include: ? Reducing turbidity and pollution by reducing sediment and nutrient inputs (cattle exclusion) ? Reducing water temperatures by providing shading Goals related to habitat include: ? Improving bank habitat by increasing stability and woody biomass ? Improving floodplain habitat by establishing microtopography and hydrology, removing invasive vegetation, and increasing habitat diversity Forrest Creek Mitigation Bank 3 Monitoring Year 3 of 5 ? Improving food web dynamics by adding biomass (such as detritus, coarse woody debris, and leaf matter) The restoration achieves these goals through the following objectives: ? Restoring soils in riparian buffer by excluding cattle and adding organic components ? Removing invasive vegetation ? Planting native vegetation in riparian buffer ? Fencing out livestock Together, these improvements will provide functional uplift for the watershed as a whole. Above the enhancement area, a section of Forrest Creek has been placed under conservation easement to preserve a functional stream channel and riparian buffer. The remaining impaired riparian buffer was planted as four (4) zones. Zones 1 and 2 are the stream channel and bank zones consisting of tree and shrub species and native herbaceous seeding typically found along stream banks in the region. Live stakes comprised the bulk of installed species within these zones. Zone 3 is the riparian zone consisting of selected tree and shrub species with a range of tolerances to inundation and saturation. Zone 4 is the transitional zone that includes the buffer areas.

Preliminary Soil Data Series Max Depth in % Clay on Surface K T OM % Chewacla 60 10-27 .28 5 1-4 Forrest Creek Mitigation Bank 5 Monitoring Year 3 of 5 3.1.2 Vegetative Problem Areas The site is stabilized and vegetated with native woody and herbaceous species. Approximately 1600 linear feet of the stream project along the main channel (27% of the stream project as a whole) required remedial work due to harsh winter conditions combined with problem areas lacking vegetation. These areas have been repaired according to the approved Remedial Repair Plan and seeded and stabilized. This work has resulted in a minor disturbance to the riparian buffer in these areas. Every effort was made to save planted trees and volunteers of significant size in this area. For the most part, invasive species listed in the executive summary and in the Mitigation Report have not reestablished themselves and will continue to be monitored and noted in future reports. Several individuals of Princess Tree (Paulownia tomentosa) have been spotted at the crossing below the confluence of the main channel and the UT. These will be removed in the next monitoring year. Kudzu, which was previously kept at bay by grazing cattle, has begun to establish along UT1 between Stations 119 and 127, approximately. This population was treated twice this year and annual treatments will be scheduled for this area. An additional small population has emerged on stream bank right above London Lane. This area was treated once in 2010 and will be included in future treatments. The Sponsor is taking this threat very seriously. An unidentified species of Commelina (Dayflower) tends to colonize the riffle areas and shallow areas during low flow and dry periods. These plants die back over-winter each year. Herbicide treatments were applied this summer in attempt to prepare the stream bed for pebble counts and survey activities. A more detailed discussion of the effects of these populations can be found with the Pebble Count analysis in the Forrest Creek Mitigation Bank Stream Monitoring report. As documented in the previously submitted Supplemental Planting Report a supplemental planting of 600 gallon size trees was completed on February 10th, 2010 by Carolina Wetland Services along approximately 75% of the unnamed tributary. Findings of the 2010 monitoring activities and stems counts are discussed in the following section. Forrest Creek Mitigation Bank 6 Monitoring Year 3 of 5 Table V.

Live stakes were installed along the new constructed channel within Zones 1 and 2. Zones 2 - 4 consist of tublings, gallon and 3 gallon size plants. A reduction in the percentage of nuisance vegetation in areas with existing vegetation to less than 10% will indicate establishment of native wetland vegetation. Study plots show that the composition and density of vegetation in the restoration areas compares closely to the reference areas, indicating restoration success for vegetation. Success will be gauged by stem counts of planted species. Stem counts of over 320 woody stems per acre after 5 years will be considered successful. Presence, numbers and health of desirable volunteers will be considered before a replant will be deemed necessary. Photos taken at established photo points should indicate maturation of riparian vegetation community. Photographs will help to capture the health of the planted vegetation and the severity of any invasive or exotic species that establish within the site. Permanent vegetative plots have been established at 14 locations. The success of vegetation plantings will be measured through stems counts. Height and DBH were measured at baseline and will be measured again in year 5 to document the growth of individuals surviving from baseline. These plots will be used to sample primarily Zones 2, 3 and 4. Each plot covers 100 square meters for tree counts. Within each plot, a 1 meter plot will be sampled to measure herbaceous coverage. During the counts, the health of the vegetation will be noted. In addition to stem counts, the samples will inventory species diversity to allow Forrest Creek Mitigation Bank 7 Monitoring Year 3 of 5 for comparison between the reference and restoration wetlands and track the percent cover of nuisance species. The vegetation survey will occur during the growing season. On August 27th, 2010, the third year vegetative monitoring was performed on the established vegetative plots. 3.1.4 Vegetation Assessment Summary The success of riparian vegetation planting will be gauged by stem counts of planted species and an assessment of community composition including (desirable) volunteers. Stem counts of over 320 trees and shrubs per acre after 5 years will be considered successful. The composition of the vegetation community should trend toward a predominance of target species. A majority (80%) of the target species should be present in the reforestation area in numbers and condition conducive to continuing the species through the maturation of the community. The population of invasive species will be kept below 10% of the total population. Photos taken at established photo points should indicate maturation of riparian vegetation community. The Year 3 monitoring numbers indicate approximately 86% survival and 503 stems per acre overall. The Tributary reach maintained an overall stems per acre count of 543 not counting volunteer species. This number was improved by supplemental plantings done prior to the 2010 growing season. The main channel reach maintained an overall stem per acre count of 463 without including volunteer species.

Plot 3 is borderline at 324, considering the success criteria goal is 320 after Year 5 for a buffer site, as opposed to the goal of 260 for many other restoration sites; however inclusion of volunteer stems of green ash which is a target species on the planting plan increases the count to 486 stems per acre. The 2010 supplemental planting covered the unnamed tributary only. Desirable volunteers are beginning to contribute more significantly to stems counts along UT1. Stem counts for both the main channel and the UT in 2010 do not indicate the need for any additional replants at this time. Please note a change in the number of individuals labeled as Unknown. Final identifications were made during the 2009 count. Forrest Creek Mitigation Bank 10 Monitoring Year 3 of 5 Along the main channel of Forrest Creek, herbaceous cover is well established. Sample plots indicated an average of 94 % cover with a range of 80% (VQ6) to 100% cover (VQ3, 4, 5, and 7). VQ1 and 2 tend to hold standing water leaving some areas slightly bare. VQ6 was most recently stabilized with annual rye due to equipment traffic for repairs to the stream bank in winter 2008. Cattle grasses and grasses used for stabilization are beginning to be out competed by natural herbaceous cover such as soft rush and ploygonum in the wet areas; and narrow leaved sunflower, dog fennel and cockle burr in the drier areas. Along the unnamed tributary, herbaceous cover is well established and more mature than on the main channel. Sample plots indicated 100% cover throughout with similar composition to the main channel. Detailed vegetation survey information is located in Appendix A; including herbaceous cover, stressed individuals, and volunteers. 3.1.5 Site Summary and Remedial Actions The herbaceous vegetative cover has developed a healthy and diverse community throughout most of the site. The planted trees and shrubs in the riparian and buffer areas have also done relatively well and are supplemented by an existing buffer community which will provide a seed source for native volunteers well suited to the current site conditions. Original plantings were done with bare roots and tublings. Tublings, in particular, are not well suited to these competitive conditions. Replants in 2009 on the main channel and a 2010 replant along UT1 were done with only gallon size trees, which typically maintain a higher level of success and can be planted in smaller numbers. Invasive species will be treated with herbicide this year and full scale removal of Kudzu along UT1 near VQT2 will be scheduled for the spring and late summer, with annual treatments thereafter. Beaver activity was not noted in 2009. On-going beaver management will be maintained as part of the monitoring requirements as discussed in the Mitigation Plan.
