SUBJECT: Proposed Implementation of the Summit Seep Wetland Mitigation Project in
Davidson County: Request for Approval Per Nationwide 27
Please find enclosed with this letter the following items:
Pre-construction Notification (PCN) Form (5 ci
• Project Mitigation Plan (5 copies to DWQ);
• Categorical Exclusion Appendix A (per EEP);
• Mitigation Plan Approval Letter from NCEEP;
• Letters to and from SHPO;
• Jurisdictional Determination Forms
)pies to DWQ)`~
FER p, l
The purpose of this letter is to provide you with information concerning the Summit Seep
Wetland Mitigation project located at 35.76140N and -80.33439W. Site lies approximately 5
miles southwest of Lexington, just south of Sam Sharpe Road, which is on the south side of I-85.
Restoration Systems, LLC (RS) is proposing wetland enhancement and restoration at the Site to
assist the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) in fulfilling its mitigation
goals in the Yadkin River Basin Cataloging Unit 03040103. The 14-digit HU
(03040103020010), in which the SITE is located, is designated by the EEP as a targeted
watershed. Goals for this non-riparian project include restoration of wetlands, improvements to
water quality, enhanced flood attenuation and restoration of wildlife habitat within the targeted
watershed. The mitigation plan goes into detail describing how these goals will be implemented,

including removing and curtailing all activities that result in non-point sources of pollution
associated with agricultural maintenance activities.
The results of these efforts will generate 4.0 non-riparian wetland mitigation units (WMUs) by
restoring 3.914 acres of hydric soil to non-riparian wetland and enhancing 0.186 of existing non-
riparian wetland. This will be accomplished by filling ditches, removing spoil castings,
removing and permanently excluding livestock, redirecting hydrology from a spring across the
Site, and planting with native forest species. The site will be protected in perpetuity with a
conservation easement. Details on soils, physiography, water quality, mitigation work plan,
design parameters, long term management, adaptive management, financial assurances and many
more topics are presented in the enclosed Mitigation Plan.
Protected Species
Based on the most recently (September 2010) updated county-by-county database of federally
listed species in North Carolina as posted by the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) at http:Hnc-
es.fws.gov/es/cotintyfr.html, 3 federally protected species (endangered, threatened or threatened
due to similarity of appearance) are listed for Davidson County, including the bald eagle, bog
turtle and Schweinitz's sunflower. Although the bald eagle has been delisted, it remains under
the protection of the bald and golden eagle Protection Act.
Note that the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA), as amended, requires all federal actions to
consult with the FWS under Section 7 of the ESA should potential conflicts between the
proposed action and listed species (those protected by law) potentially exist. This project is
federalized by virtue of funding from the Federal Highway Administration. Species with the
status of FSC are not afforded protection under the ESA.
Habitat for the bald eagle does not occur within the project area, but suitable habitat for the bog
turtle and Schweinitz's sunflower does exist. The bog turtle' status is threatened due to
similarity of appearance [T(S/A)] and does not require consultation for resolution; however, the
sunflower is an endangered species. Scientifically sound surveys for the sunflower were
conducted throughout the Site's suitable habitat during August and September. It is safe to say
the Schweinitz's sunflower does not occur within the Summit Seep site.
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).

John Thomas, USACE
RS submitted a letter to the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) on July 27, 2010,
requesting a search be conducted of archival records for the SITE. SHPO responded on August
27, 2010 that no known recorded archaeological sites occur within the SITE and no further work
is required (see attached letters).
Your time and consideration in reviewing the enclosed material is greatly appreciated. Should
you have any questions about the project, please call Worth Creech at 919-344-9114. As a
reminder, you were present at the site recently in the company of John Dorney, Todd Tugwell
and. Worth Creech where, if it was reported to me correctly, you and/or Dorney promised to
expedite issuance of NW-27 and WQC, respectively. Thanks for your collective follow-throughs
on that promise.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This mitigation plan has been written in conformance with the requirements of the following:
Federal rule for compensatory mitigation project sites as described in the Federal Register Title
33 Navigation and Navigable Waters Volume 3 Chapter 2 Section § 332.8 paragraphs (c)(2)
through (c)(14).
NCDENR Ecosystem Enhancement Program In-Lieu Fee Instrument signed and dated July 28,
2010
These documents govern NCEEP operations and procedures for the delivery of compensatory mitigation.
This mitigation report describes the Summit Seep Wetland Mitigation Site (Site) and is designed
specifically to assist in fulfilling North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program wetland restoration
goals. The Site is located within 14-digit Cataloging Unit 03040103020010 approximately 5 miles
southwest of Lexington, in western Davidson County (Figures 1 and 2). The Site encompasses
approximately 6.9 acres of land used as pasture. Within the Site, 4.1 acres of nonriparian hydric soil have
been cleared and ditched. A total of 4.0 Nonriparian Wetland Mitigation Units (WMUs) are being
offered, as depicted in the following table.
Acres Percentage of WMUs Nonri arian WMUs
Nonri arian Wetland Restoration 3.914 98% 3.914
Nonri arian Wetland Enhancement 0.186 2% 0.093
Total 4.1 Total Nonri arian WMUs 4.0
The Site is encompassed within one parcel owned by the Parson family (Hillcrest Farms). The Site is
situated upslope from the western edge of the floodplain of an unnamed tributary to North Potts Creek.
The 6.9-acre Site has been cleared of native forest vegetation, ditched and drained to remove groundwater
hydrology from a spring and hillside seeps on the western edge of the Site, and is currently utilized as
pasture. Based on preliminary analyses, the Site is best suited for the removal of livestock and restoration
of a natural, nonriparian wetland system, by filling ditches and diverting hydrology from a spring across
the Site.
The Site is located upslope from an unnamed tributary to North Potts Creek, which has been assigned a
Best Usage Classification of C and is Fully Supporting its intended uses. The Site is located within
Targeted Local Watershed 03040103020010.
The primary goals of this nonriparian wetland restoration project focus on improving water quality,
enhancing flood attenuation, and restoring wildlife habitat and will be accomplished by the following.
1. Remove nonpoint sources of pollution associated with vegetation maintenance including a) the
cessation of broadcasting fertilizer, pesticides, and other agricultural chemicals into and adjacent
to Site drainage ditches and b) providing a vegetated wetland to aid in the treatment of runoff.
2. Restore wetland hydroperiods that satisfy wetland jurisdictional requirements and approximate
the Site's natural range of variation.
3. Promote floodwater attenuation by filling ditches and enhancing groundwater storage capacity.
4. Restore and reestablish natural community structure, habitat diversity, and functional continuity.
5. Enhance and protect the Site's full potential of wetland functions and values in perpetuity.

Summit Seep Wetland Mitigation Plan
Davidson County, North Carolina
1. RESTORATION PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The 2009 Yadkin Pee-Dee River Basin RBRP identified HUC 03040103020010 as a Targeted Local
Watershed (TLW) (2009 Yadkin Pee-Dee River Basin RBRP, NCEEP 2009). The watershed is
characterized by approximately 21 percent agricultural use with approximately 12 percent of the stream
length located in this watershed identified as impaired for aquatic life according to 2006 DWQ 303(d)
data.
The 2009 Yadkin Pee-Dee River Basin RBRP identified stormwater runoff and other development impacts
as likely contributors to turbidity and chlorophyll violations within this TLW. The Summit Seep Wetland
Mitigation Project was identified as a nonriparian wetland restoration opportunity to improve water
quality, enhance flood attenuation, and to restore wildlife habitat within the TL W.
The project goals address stressors identified in the TLW and include the following:
• Remove nonpoint sources of pollution associated with vegetation maintenance including:
a. the cessation of broadcasting fertilizer, pesticides, and other agricultural chemicals into and
adjacent to Site drainage ditches; and
b. providing a vegetated wetland to aid in the treatment of runoff.
• Restore wetland hydroperiods that satisfy wetland jurisdictional requirements and approximate the
Site's natural range and variation.
• Promote floodwater attenuation by filling ditches and enhancing groundwater storage capacity.
• Restore and reestablish natural community structure, habitat diversity, and functional continuity.
• Enhance and protect the Site's full potential of wetland functions and values in perpetuity.
The project goals will be addressed through the following project objectives:
• Providing 4.0 Nonriparian Wetland Mitigation Units, as calculated in accordance with the
requirements stipulated in RFP #16-002835, by restoring 3.914 acres and enhancing 0.186 acres of
nonriparian wetland. This will be accomplished by filling ditches, removing spoil castings,
excluding livestock, redirecting hydrology from a spring across the Site, and planting with native
forest vegetation.
• Protecting the Site in perpetuity with a conservation easement.
2. SITE SELECTION
2.1 Directions to Site
The Site is located within 14-Digit Cataloging Unit 03040103020010 approximately 5 miles southwest of
Lexington, in western Davidson County. From Raleigh, take I-40 W to 1-85 S. Continue on I-85 S until
exit 88. Turn left onto NC 47 E. Continue on NC 47 E then make a right onto Sam Sharpe Road. The
Site is located approximately 1.4 miles down Sam Sharpe Road on the left.
2.2 Site Selection
The Site is encompassed within one parcel utilized by livestock as pasture. The Site includes 6.9 acres of
land situated upslope from the western edge of an unnamed tributary to North Potts Creek floodplain.
The Site has been cleared of native forest vegetation, ditched and drained to remove groundwater

hydrology from a spring and hillside seeps on the western edge of the Site, and is currently utilized as
pasture (Figure 4).
2.3 Physiography and Land Use
The Site is located in the Southern Outer Piedmont physiographic province of North Carolina. Regional
physiography is characterized by dissected irregular plains, some low rounded hills and ridges, and low to
moderate gradient streams with mostly cobble, gravel, and sandy substrates (Griffith et al. 2002).
Elevations within the Site range from 690-720 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum (USGS Lexington
West, NC 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle).
2.4 Water Quality
The Site is located within the Yadkin River Basin in 14-digit United States Geological Survey (USGS)
Cataloging Unit 03040103020010 of the South Atlantic/Gulf Region (North Carolina Division of Water
Quality [NCDWQ] subbasin number 03-07-04). The Site is located upslope from an unnamed tributary
to North Potts Creek, which has been assigned Stream Index Number 12-112, a Best Usage Classification
of C, and is Fully Supporting its intended uses (NCDWQ 2010b). Streams classified as C are suitable for
aquatic life propagation and survival, fishing, wildlife, secondary recreation, and agriculture. Secondary
recreation includes wading, boating, and other uses not involving human body contact with waters on an
organized or frequent basis.
North Potts Creek and its tributaries are not listed on the NCDWQ final 2006 or draft 2008 and 2010
303(d) lists (NCDWQ 2007, 2008, 2010a). The Site is located within Targeted Local Watershed
03 040103 0200 10 (NCEEP 2009).
2.5 Soil and Land Form
Soils that occur within the Site, according to the Soil Survey of Davidson County, North Carolina (USDA
1994) are depicted in Figure 3 and are described in Table 1.
Restorable portions of the Site are predominantly underlain by soils of the Aremenia series. Armenia
soils are "Class A" hydric soils characterized by a dark gray matrix. Soils have been impacted by land
clearing, ditching, and hoof shear from livestock.
Table 1. NRCS Soils Ma ed within the Site
Soil Series Hydric
Status Family Description
This series consists of nearly level, poorly drained, slowly
Armenia Class A Typic permeable soils on broad flats or in depressions on uplands, at or
Argioaquolls near the head of drainage ways, or on floodplains. The seasonal
high water table occurs at a depth of 0.5-1.5 feet.
Non- Rhodic This series consists of well-drained, moderately permeable soils on
Davidson Hydric Kandiudults side slopes in the uplands. The seasonal high water table occurs at
a depth of more than 6 feet.
Detailed soil mapping conducted by licensed soil scientists in February 2010 indicate that 4.1 acres of the
Site is currently underlain by nonriparian hydric soils of the Armenia Series (Figure 4).
2.6 Protected Species
Based on the most recently updated county-by-county database of federally listed species in North
Carolina as posted by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) at http://nc-
es.fws.gov/es/countyfr.html, three federally protected species are listed for Davidson County. Table 2
lists the federally protected species and indicates if potential habitat exists within the Site for each
species.

6. MITIGATION WORK PLAN
6.1 Target Wetland Type & Plant Communities
The EPA classification of a wetland is based on soil, hydrology, and vegetation characteristics. The
Summit Seep nonriparian wetland restoration project contains Armenia silt loam hydric soil. This soil is
hydrated by year round flow from upland seeps and springs. Restoration efforts aim to reproduce
characteristic pre-disturbed vegetation.
Soils
Hydric A, Armenia silt loam soils are the primary soil type present within this nonriparian wetland
restoration project. Subsoils extend to roughly 45 inches with upper soil layers consisting of very dark
grayish brown sandy clay loam, transitioning to a mottled olive gray and yellowish brown, black sandy
clay loam. Underlying materials are described as multicolored saprolite with a texture of sandy loam
reaching to a depth of 60 inches (USDA 1994)
Hydrology
Armenia silt loam soils are nearly level, slowly permeating and tend to drain poorly. The current ditching
of the Site has capped surface and sub-surface hydrology. Filling ditches will restore hydrology to
characteristic levels expected with Armenia silt loam, fueled by year round hydrology from the Site seep.
Vegetation
Native, nonriparian forest species will be restored within the entire 6.9-acre Site. Planting vegetation is
proposed to reestablish vegetation community patterns to provide soil stability, habitat for wildlife, and
filter pollutants prior to entering the groundwater table. Planted species composition will mimic Schafale
and Weakley's Classification of the Natural Communities of North Carolina (1990) of a Low Elevation
Seep, supplemented by reference forest and onsite observations (Table 6).

6.2 Design Parameters
The presence of conditions or characteristics that have the potential to hinder restoration activities on the
Site was evaluated. The evaluation focused primarily on the presence of hazardous materials, utilities and
restrictive easements, rare/threatened/endangered species or critical habitats, and the potential for
hydrologic trespass. Existing information regarding Site constraints was acquired and reviewed. In
addition, any Site conditions that have the potential to restrict the restoration design and implementation
were documented during the field investigation.
No evidence of natural and/or man-made conditions was identified that has the potential to impede
proposed restoration activities.
The primary goals of this restoration concept include:
(1) Enhancement of water quality functions (reduce non-point source nutrient inputs and
sedimentation);
(2) Establishment of a natural nonriparian wetland community;
(3) Restoration of jurisdictional wetland hydrology by filling ditches draining a spring and
hillside seeps; and
(4) Placement of a conservation easement over the site that will encompass and protect all
restoration activities in perpetuity.
Primary activities, designed to restore 3.914 acres and enhance 0.186 acres of nonriparian wetland,
include filling ditches, redirecting hydrology from springs across the Site, excluding livestock, and
planting native, deep rooted forest species (Appendix D).
The Summit Seep Restoration Site encompasses 6.9 acres that have been cleared of native forest
vegetation, ditched and drained to remove groundwater hydrology from a spring and hillside seep on the
western edge of the Site, and is currently utilized as a pasture. Based on detailed mapping conducted by
licensed soil scientists, approximately 4.1 acres of the Site is underlain by nonriparian hydric soils
proposed for nonriparian wetland restoration.
Wetland restoration is designed to restore a fully functioning nonriparian wetland system that will provide
water storage, nutrient cycling, removal of imported elements and compounds, and will create a variety
and abundance of wildlife habitat.
Portions of the Site underlain by nonriparian hydric soils have been impacted by vegetation clearing, ditch
excavation, and hoof shear from livestock. Wetland restoration options will focus on the restoration of
nonriparian hydric soils, forest communities, elevation of groundwater tables, and the reestablishment of
soil structure and microtopographic variations.
Restoration of wetland hydrology and wetland soil attributes will involve 1) ditch cleaning prior to
backfill, 2) ditch plug installation, 3) diverting water from springs across the Site, 4) ditch backfill, and 5)
scarification of soils prior to planting. These activities will restore 3.914 acres and enhance 0.186 acres of
nonriparian wetland at the Site.
Ditch Cleaning
Ditches identified for backfilling will be cleaned, as needed, to remove unconsolidated sediments.
Removal of unconsolidated sediments is particularly critical in areas where ditch plugs are proposed.
Accumulated sediment within the ditches provides a relatively high permeability material that may act as
a conduit for drainage after restoration. The unconsolidated sediments will be lifted from the channel to
expose the underlying, relatively undisturbed soil material beneath the ditch invert. The unconsolidated
sediment will be incorporated into top soils and spread evenly throughout the Site.
Summit Seep Wetland Mitigation Site Page 13
Mitigation Plan
January 2011
Ditch Plugs
Impermeable ditch plugs will be installed within ditches at critical locations throughout the Site. The
plugs will consist of low density material or permanent hardened structures. If earthen material is used,
each plug will be backfilled in 2-foot lifts of vegetation-free material and compacted into the bottom of
the ditch. The earthen material may be obtained from adjacent fields through construction of shallow
wetland pools. The plugs will consist of a core of impervious material and shall be of sufficient width
and depth to form an imbedded overlap in the existing ditch banks and ditch bed.
Ditch Backfilling
Ditches will be backfilled using onsite material excavated from spoil piles adjacent to ditches and borrow
material from upland areas within the easement. Where vegetation has colonized fields or spoil areas,
rooting debris will be removed to the maximum extent feasible before insertion of earthen material into
the ditch. The ditches will be filled, compacted, and graded to the approximate elevation of the adjacent
wetland surface.
Vegetation Planting
Bare-root seedlings of tree and shrub species will be planted within the Site at a density up to 1000 stems
per acre (6.6-foot centers). Planting will be performed between December I" and March 15`h to allow
plants to stabilize during the dormant period and set root during the spring season. Bare-root seedlings
will be hand planted to minimize Site soil disturbance, thus minimizing potential for sedimentation /
siltation runoff from the Site. A total of 6,900 diagnostic tree and shrub seedlings will be planted in
support of Site wetland restoration (Table 7). The entire 6.9 - acre restoration area will be re-vegetated or
supplementally planted during the implementation of this plan.

6.3 Data Analysis
No data has been analyzed, nor has it been necessary to this point. The spring and uphill seepage are the
Sites main groundwater source. Currently these sources of groundwater are collected by the existing
ditches and carried to an unnamed tributary and subsequently off-site to nearby North Potts Creek.
Therefore, groundwater modeling is impractical at this time. Also, a jurisdictional determination was
done and it was determined that hydric soils proposed for restoration are currently drained and those
proposed for enhancement are jurisdictional. Drained soils result from existing ditches. Rehydration will
occur when the ditches are cleaned, plugged, and backfilled.
7. MAINTENANCE PLAN
RS shall monitor the site on a regular basis and shall conduct a physical inspection of the site a minimum
of once per year throughout the post-construction monitoring period until performance standards are met.
These site inspections may identify site components and features that require routine maintenance.
Routine maintenance should be expected most often in the first two years following site construction and
may include the following:
Table 8. Site Maintenance Plan
Component/Feature Maintenance through project close-out
Wetland Routine wetland maintenance and repair activities will occur. Areas where stormwater and
floodplain flows intercept the wetland may require maintenance to prevent scour.
Vegetation Vegetation shall be maintained to ensure the health and vigor of the targeted plant community.
Routine vegetation maintenance and repair activities may include supplemental planting, pruning,
mulching, and fertilizing. Exotic invasive plant species shall be controlled by mechanical and/or
chemical methods. Any vegetation control requiring herbicide application will be performed in
accordance with NC Department of Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations.
Site Boundary Site boundaries shall be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between the mitigation
site and adjacent properties. Boundaries may be identified by fence, marker, bollard, post, tree-
blazing, or other means as allowed by site conditions and/or conservation easement. Boundary
markers disturbed, damaged, or destroyed will be repaired and/or replaced on an as needed basis.
Utility Right-of-Way Utility right-of-way within the site may be maintained only as allowed by Conservation Easement
or existing easement, deed restriction, rights of way, or corridor agreements.
Summit Seep Wetland Mitigation Site Page 15

January 2011
8. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
Monitoring of Site restoration efforts will be performed until success criteria are fulfilled. Monitoring for
wetland components include hydrology and vegetation.
Hydrology Monitoring
A total of four (4) groundwater monitoring gauges will be installed to take measurements after
hydrological modifications are performed at the Site. Hydrological sampling will continue throughout the
growing season at intervals necessary to satisfy jurisdictional hydrology success criteria (EPA 1990).
Hydrology Success Criteria
Target hydrological characteristics include saturation or inundation for 7.5 percent of the growing season,
during average climatic conditions. During growing seasons with atypical climatic conditions,
groundwater gauges in reference wetlands may dictate threshold hydrology success criteria. These areas
are expected to support hydrophytic vegetation. If wetland parameters are marginal as indicated by
vegetation and/or hydrology monitoring, a jurisdictional determination will be performed.
Vegetation Monitoring
After planting has been completed in winter or early spring, an initial evaluation will be performed to
verify planting methods and to determine initial species composition and density. Supplemental planting
and additional Site modifications will be implemented, if necessary.
During quantitative vegetation sampling, six (6) sample plots (10-meter by 10-meter) will be installed
within the Site as per guidelines established in CVS-EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation, Version 4.0
(Lee et al. 2006). In each sample plot, vegetation parameters to be monitored include species
composition and density. Visual observations of the percent cover of shrub and herbaceous species will
be documented by photograph.
Vegetation Success Criteria
An average density of 320 stems per acre of Characteristic Tree Species must be surviving in the first
three monitoring years. Subsequently, 290 Characteristic Tree Species per acre must be surviving in year
4 and 260 Characteristic Tree Species per acre in year 5.
Hydrologic Contingency
Hydrologic contingency may include soil surface modifications such as construction of ephemeral pools
and deep ripping of the soil profile. Recommendations for contingency to establish wetland hydrology
may be implemented and monitored until Hydrology Success Criteria is achieved.
Vegetation Contingency
If vegetation success criteria are not achieved based on average density calculations from combined plots
over the entire restoration area, supplemental planting may be performed with tree species approved by
regulatory agencies. Supplemental planting may be performed as needed until achievement of vegetation
success criteria.

10. LONG-TERM MANAGEMENT PLAN
Upon approval for close-out by the Interagency Review Team (IRT) the site will be transferred to the
EEP. This party shall be responsible for periodic inspection of the site to ensure that restrictions required
in the conservation easement or the deed restriction document(s) are upheld.
11. ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT PLAN
Upon completion of site construction RS will implement the post-construction monitoring protocols
previously defined in this document. Project maintenance will be performed as described previously in
this document. If, during the course of annual monitoring it is determined the site's ability to achieve site
performance standards are jeopardized, RS will notify the EEP of the need to develop a Plan of Corrective
Action. The Plan of Corrective Action may be prepared using in-house technical staff or may require
engineering and consulting services. Once the Corrective Action Plan is prepared and finalized RS will:
1. Notify the EEP as required by the Nationwide 27 permit general conditions.
2. Revise performance standards, maintenance requirements, and monitoring requirements as
necessary and/or required by the USACE / EEP.
3. Obtain other permits as necessary.
4. Implement the Corrective Action Plan.
5. Provide the EEP a Record Drawing of Corrective Actions. This document shall depict the extent
and nature of the work performed.
12. FINANCIAL ASSURANCES
As required by RFP # 16-002835 RS will provide a performance bond for 55% of the total value of the
contract to be submitted with this document. This bond will remain in effect until the successful
completion of Task 6. See Appendix E.

Groundwater Mode ling/Hydrologic Budget
No data has been analyzed, nor has it been necessary to this point. The spring and uphill seepage are
the Sites main groundwater source. Currently these sources of groundwater are collected by the
existing ditches and carried to an un-named tributary and subsequently off-site to nearby North Potts
Creek. Therefore, groundwater modeling is impractical at this time. Also, jurisdictional
determination was done and stated that the area is currently dry. This is caused by the existing
ditches. Lateral flow will occur when the ditches are cleaned, plugged, and backfilled. There will be
a slight final grade to the Site causing lateral flow. Groundwater modeling will occur once this lateral
flow is established.
CVS Vegetation Assessment
Vegetation surveys will begin after construction, and be monitored just before, during and just after
the growing season. Based on the Microsoft Access CVS template the Site will hold six (6)
vegetation plots. Four (4) groundwater modeling wells will also be installed during construction.
These wells and plots will be marked and referenced in the Sites as built documents. Planned
vegetation distribution is detailed in Figure D, Appendix D.

RE: Section 404 Jurisdictional Area Delineation 10-017
Summit Seep (Parson Property)
Davidson County, NC
Mr. Thomas:
Axiom Environmental Inc. (Axiom) was contracted by Restoration Systems, LLC to conduct an
assessment of a proposed 6.8-acre environmental easement (hereafter, the Easement Area) within a
parcel of land, the Parson Property, located 6 miles southwest of Lexington, North Carolina. Axiom
conducted jurisdictional area delineations within Easement Area of the Parson property in October
2010. All jurisdictional areas were delineated in accordance with the methodology established by
the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wetland Delineation Manual (Technical
Report Y-87-1) and Interim Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation
Manual: Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Region (ERDC/EL TR-08-30), and USACE
Jurisdictional Determination Form Instructional Guidebook.
Axiom identified one (1) perennial stream within the Easement Area, an unnamed tributary (UT) to
North Potts Creek [Second Potts Creek (Figures 1 and 2)]. The perennial stream located within the
proposed conservation easement is a UT to North Potts Creek [North Carolina Division of Water
Quality (NCDWQ) Stream Index Number 12-112]. All water resources located on the proposed
Easement Area are part of the Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basin USGS Hydrologic Unit (HU)
03040103020010 (Figure 2). A USACE Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet has been completed
for UT to North Potts Creek. The perennial stream corresponds to a 50-foot reach adjacent to flag
PC 15 (as noted on the form). Total length of UT to North Potts Creek within the preliminary
conservation easement is 543 linear feet of perennial stream.
In addition, UT to North Potts Creek Easement Area encompasses approximately 0.3 acre of
wetlands. The approximate location of jurisdictional wetland areas within the Easement Area are
depicted on Figure 4. Wetland Determination Data Forms, NC Wetland Assessment Method
(NCWAM) Field Assessment Form, NCWAM Wetland Rating Sheet (Results), and Approved
Jurisdictional Determination Form have been completed for the wetland area. Wetlands occurring
within UT to North Potts Creek may generally be classified as a palustrine, emergent, persistent
(PEM 1).

Subject: Request for Letter of Concurrence on Summit Seep Wetland Restoration Site
Dear Ms. Gledhill-Earley,
Restoration Systems, LLC (RS) has been awarded a contract by the NC Ecosystem
Enhancement Program (EEP) to restore 4.1 acres of a nonriparian wetland site in the Yadkin River
Basin, Cataloging Unit 3040103. The project is located in Davidson County, approximately 5 miles
southwest of Lexington adjacent to Sam Sharpe Road (SR 1134). A snap showing the location of the
site is attached.
The site consists of native forest vegetation that has been removed, and the land has been
ditched to remove groundwater hydrology from a spring and hillside seep along the western edge.
Currently utilized as livestock pasture, the site is situated upslope from the western edge of an
unnamed tributary of the North Potts Creek floodplain. The Summit Seep Wetland Restoration Site
has been identified for the purpose of providing in-kind mitigation for unavoidable wetland impacts.
Primary activities, designed to restore 4.1 acres of nonriparian, include filling ditches, redirecting
hydrology from springs across the Site, excluding livestock, and planting native, forest species.
There are no structures on or adjacent to the site. RS staff examined the records in your
office and determined that there are no listed historic properties or archeological records on or within
0.5 miles of the site. A letter of concurrence from your office is required as part of the
Environmental Screening of the project. I would appreciate receiving such a letter for this project at
your earliest convenience.
Thank you in advance for your timely response and cooperation. Please feel free to contact me at the
office [phone] if you have any questions.
Best Regards,
/' " 4,_?
