approximately 50 years dependmg on market condrtions and the available reserves The built out pit area �s estunated to be 649 acres however this pit area will be developed incrementaly over the life of the mule operation and w�ll be reclaimed m portions where possible Stormwater and muie dewatermg discharge will be treated withm the Srte and discharged to the proposed National Pollution Discharge Elunmation System(NPDES) permitted location at the headwaters of Blount s Creek east of the Site boundary shown on Figure 7 The NPDES Permrt apphcation was subirutted concurrent to this 404 apphcation

mdustry servmg the general area of Beaufort and Craven Counties m North Carolma A ma�ority of this material currently comes from Martm Marietta s Clarks Quarry which is located on Old Hwy# 70�ust west of New Bern NC In order to supply market demand for aggregate material once the Clarks Quarry reserves are exhausted Martm Marietta needs to develop an alternative site to replace the Clarks Quarry and to meet expected growmg market demands 21 Proposed/mpacts The proposed pro�ect will unpact 6 69 acres of�urisdictional wetland and 58 671 lmear feet of�urisdictional waters (32 060 hnear feet of RPW and 26 611 lmear feet of Non RPV� Impacts are accounted for the life of muie and built out footprult for the quarry prt overburden stockpile and plant areas The site layout has been designed to avoid�unsdictional wetland areas while also providmg a pit area with sufficient aggregate reserves for the long term operation that also maintains a dunension that is logistically manageable to muie (i e non lulear uregular boundaries of the pit are not feasible for mmmg) The unpact of 6 69 acres represents the mmimized unavoidable unpact to�urisdictional wetlands A total of 173 5 acres of

to be within the prt overburden or plant areas are considered as unpacted based on the expectation that they will be erther removed through excavation or relocated to accommodate the development of the srte Ditches wrthm the Site surroundmg the prt overburden and plant areas will be utilized as needed as part of the water management plan for the facilrty Utilizmg and marupulatmg the drtch system around the active area of the operation will allow MMM to mamtam hydrologic function to natural areas ad�acent to the pro�ect area(i e mamtauiuig water levels m the surroundmg drtch system to the operation will provide a hydrologic barrier to surficial groundwater movement towards pit and ad�acent wetland areas will not be adversely affected) In addition mamtaming the ditches surroundmg the active areas of the site will also allow MMM to distribute surface water discharge to off srte receiving waters and down slope tnbutanes such that aquatic function of those systems and sub watersheds are sustamed wlule the mule is m operahon The geographic location of the site on the topographic high pomt of the watershed and the extensive ditch system will allow MMM to isolate and d�rect

comuigled water will be discharged to Blount s Creek per the NPDES pernut (to be obtained prior to mitiatmg the pro�ect) The discharge will uirtially be d�rected to Outfa11001 on Blount s Creek smce the existmg dramage from the irutial area of development is ent�rely withm the Blount s Creek watershed As the mme develops and expands an addrtional discharge will be d�rected to Outfall 002 to

Section 404 pernut no other federal uivolvement m the proposed work is anticipated There are no practicable alternatives to the proposed plans that would further avoid or mimmize unpacts to waters of the U S and the pro�ect would not meet the applicant s purpose and need but for the proposed unpacts Additionally the proposed mule pit once fully built out mcludes 6 69 acres of non riparian wetlands sub�ect to Section 404 permit requ�rements and 99 0591inear feet of man made drainage ditches determmed to be Jurisdictional waters Impacts to these features are essential for the development of the

4(b)(4), 40 CFR 23010] The purpose of the pro�ect is to develop a Site for a marule hmestone aggregate muie operation ui order to meet the local demand of aggregate matenal As part of the development process numerous on srte and off site alternatives were evaluated The essential requ�rements for the development of an aggregate mmmg operation are lugh qualrty lunestone reserves the abilrty to muie the reserves m an economically viable manner(hmited overburden thickness as well as the thickness of the lunestone) and available privately owned unconstramed land Based on these factors the applicant has demonstrated there are no off site alternatives that would allow MMM to completely avoid unpacts to waters of the U S and the least damagmg practical alternative has been selected The applicant has also demonstrated that alternative on site plans were considered along with the env�ronmental consequences of each plan and the proposed alternative represents the m�nimum amount of impact to aquatic resources while still meetmg the pro�ect purpose ❑ ❑ ��� 8 � and Assoaates,Inc 51 Avo�dance (No act►on, uplands, and ava�lab�l�ty of other sites) 5 1 1 No Action/Upland-Only Alternative The No Action Alternative means that the Applicant s proposed Pro�ect would not be unplemented and the resultmg env�ronmental effects from takmg no action would serve as a baseluie from which to compare the effects of permittmg the proposed Pro�ect or an alternative to proceed MMM has considered several alternatives to meet the regional demand for aggregate The no proJect alternative would requ�re that existmg mmes mcrease the�r production of aggregate to keep up with demand A ma�ority of the aggregate material for tlus region of the State currently comes from Martm Marietta s Clarks Quarry wlvch is located on Old Hwy# 70�ust west of New Bern NC Th�s quarry will be runnulg out of reserves in the comuig years Further advancement of the Clarks Quarry pit is not feasible as it is bounded by US Hwy# 70 to the south a large uidustrial park on the west (Craven County Commrttee of 100 Industrial Park) Old US Hwy# 70 to the north and Caswell Branch to the east NC Highway 17 Bypass and the Norfolk Southern Railroad are also constramts to mule expansion at the Clarks Quarry Addrtionally mcreasmg the productivity of the existmg Clarks Quarry would not meet the end goal of mcreasmg long term supply of aggregate as speedu�g up production would only cause the existmg mine reserves to be depleted that much sooner Other existuig MMM quarries are located further to the South(Belgrade Quarry near the Town of Maysville is the nearest existing MMM operation)and would not be able to serve the prunary market for the Clarks Quarry site The cost of transportmg the product would greatly uicrease with these options and would have an adverse unpact on the market Clarks Quarry is the only ma�or source of aggregate in the Beaufort/Craven area mcludmg New Bern Waslungton and surrounding commumties Once Clarks is depleted there are no other known economically viable aggregate deposits m this part of the state other than the Vanceboro srte In addrtion once all applicable permits have been received it may take several additional years to develop the site and establish the plant operation to meet market demands Martm Marietta has considered the no action(i e no pernut requ�red) alternative which would not result in impacts to�urisdictional waters and wetlands While this would be the least damaging alternative it is not practicable and does not support the pro�ect purpose and need Therefore a no achon alternative is not a viable option for MMM 9 ❑�❑ and�Assaaates,Inc 5 1 2 Off-Site Alternatives There are three key conditions that must occur m order to locate a viable quarry operation 1 There must be an adequate amount of aggregate reserves available for quarryuig at a depth that can be reached by draglmes 2 Sufficient land to cover the reserve area the plant processmg area and associated support facilrties as well as an adequate buffer from ad�acent properties 3 The property or properties must be purchased or leased from property owners that are willmg to convert the�r land mto a quarrymg operation MMM has maintamed a long term exploration uutiative to evaluate aggregate reserves wrthui Eastern North Carolma Specific drilling locations and reserves data are considered propnetary mformation and are not mcluded herein However once the general area around the Vanceboro Srte was identified as a potential quarry srte based on the qualrty and depth of the reserve more mtensive drillmg and analysis was conducted for the general area of Beauport and Craven Counties m the vicinity of Vanceboro MMM met with the USACE ul July 2010 to d�scuss the pro�ect and present propnetary drilling mformation used to evaluate potential alternative sites withm the study area for the Srte s market and data used m the selection of the Srte Through extensive drillmg and coordmation with Weyerhaeuser MMM identified the Srte as providmg the most econoirucal pro�ect area withul the smallest prt area footprult (i e thickest reserves nearest the ground surface requumg the least amount of overburden removal) In addrtion wetlands and natural commuruties were considered m selectmg the site as a prefened alternative Located on the topograpluc lugh pomt on the watershed divide the Srte is furthest removed from the headwater areas of Mauls Swamp and Blount s Creek and the�r associated natural commumties Likewise other areas evaluated contamed larger areas of mapped soil types more lilcely to contam wetlands (i e Croatan muck and Pantego loam) Therefore the proposed Vanceboro site was found to have the tluckest aggregate reserves and least amount of overburden to be removed makmg rt the smallest area footpnnt and most econorrucally viable option for muimg m the area In addition this site meets and exceeds the second and th�rd conditions noted above Martm Marietta has a lease agreement with the Weyerhaeuser Company on 1 664 acres located m the approxunate middle of a 90 000 acre puie planation The nearest residential property is over 2 3 rrules west southwest of the proposed prt area 10 ❑�❑ andl�A�,Inc Some areas wrthul the pro�ect boundary surrounding the proposed pit area may contam addrtional reserves that will not be mmed These areas were avoided due to the extent of potential wetland areas (Figure 8) MMM s study of the general area surroundmg the Site deternuned that there would be no upland only alternative and that any other site would lilcely contam greater unpact to�unsdictional areas and natural commumties The large land requ�rements to provide adequate limestone reserves as well as the associated quarry operational facilrties would lilcely conflict wrth env�ronmental constramts The low lymg coastal region of North Carolma is prunarily underlam with hydric soils mterspersed with low energy streams modified natural stream channels wrth expansive natural and altered wetland systems As a result of this geograpluc location of the marme limestone deposits it is unlilcely that most sites wrthm this region would support a quarry operation without greater unpact to�urisdictional areas and the natural env�ronment than the proposed Srte 5 2 Mm�m►zat�on (mod�fied pro�ect des�gns, etc) Once the Srte was identified by MMM as a viable quarry location due to quantrty and quality of reserves depth of overburden and env�ronmental constramts MMM conducted extensive field mvestigahons to evaluate�urisdictional areas witlun and ad�acent to the Site In 2004 and 2005 MMM conducted a detailed delmeation of approxunately 70 acres(shown ui Figure 8) This dehneation served as a representatrve demonstration of the deluieation criteria apphed to the altered srte and managed pme plantation as well as identifymg key field mdicators This methodology was then applied to approximate wetland areas witlun the broader pro�ect boundary and ad�acent areas The USACE approved the Jurisdictional Determulation in 2005 Incorporatmg core dnllulg data and potential wetlands around the Site MMM modified the Site boundary at vanous tunes between 2005 and 2007 to avoid and mmimize potential impacts to�urisdictional wetlands and reduce the footpruit of the built out prt wlule still meeting the pro�ect purpose m providmg sufficient reserves for a long term aggregate mulmg operation A sigzuficant boundary change occurred m 2006 when MMM decided to move the western boundary of the srte eastward (see Figure 8)to avoid significant wetland unpacts for that portion of the pit These avoided areas contam sigYUficant reserves however MMM determuled that the reduced prt area of 649 acres would be sufficient for the pro�ect Relocatmg the Srte boundary and removmg these wetland areas from the pro�ect and reduced the potential unpact by approximately 60 acres to the proposed muiimized unpact of 6 69 acres Therefore the final proposed Site boundary represents accumulated knowledge of the Site and its surroundmg areas regulatory and resource agency mput and an iterative process to mulunize unpacts smce 2004 11 ❑�❑ and�Assoaat� Inc Within the fmal Site boundary of 1 664 acres MMM has defined a built out pit area of 649 acres that proposes to unpact 6 69 acres of wetlands but avoids unpact to 173 50 acres of Jurisdictional wetlands (Figure 6) The area of avoided wetland wrthm the Site boundary represents considerable reserves that could be muied however the pit area was muiimized to the smailest practicable footprint that still meet the purpose and need of the pro�ect to sustam a long term aggregate operation Therefore the remauung 6 69 acres of unpact to�unsdictional wetland is unavoidable m order to meet the pro�ect goals and establish a long term viable muimg operation The pit would not be feasible to operate if these wetland areas were to be avoided Of the proposed unpacted wetlands one wetland area (WD 2) is located next to the mitial pit openmg The irutial slot needs to be developed near the center of the pit to allow future slots to run east and west as the prt develops (see Figure 4) If the small wetland areas WD 3 and WD 4 were avoided the pit could not be expanded beyond these areas thereby causmg a tremendous loss of reachable reserves to the pomt where the pro�ect would not be feasible In addrtion, 58,671 LF of man made ditches considered�unsdictional waters will be erther filled, excavated or re routed through the development of the muie MMM will develop the mule such that downstream receivuig waters contmue to receive water as the ditches wrtlun the Site are modified Smce the mme activrty mcludes dewatermg MMM will unplement a morutormg plan to demonstrate that onsrte water management is effectively utihzed to mamtam hydration to peruneter ditches so that they may provide hydration to off srte and ad�acent wetland areas Therefore there are no anticipated secondary or cumulative hydrologic unpacts for the mme An Annual Report for the momtormg plan will be submitted to the NCDWQ to demonstrate that the operation is not havmg an adverse impact on ad�acent wetlands and downstream of NPDES outfalls The Annual Report will also mclude implementation protocols for corrective measures and document all commurucation and coordmation wrth the regulatory agencies The wetland morutorulg gages will be installed both prior to excavation and added as needed as the prt expands and will ulclude reference locations at greater distances from the prt (Figure 7) By comparmg observed data from the morutonng gages to the reference locations MMM will be able to demonstrate potential zone of mfluence to wetland hydrology and the effectiveness of the water management plan u1 contam�ng that mfluence wrthm the Site as the mule develops over time 5 3 Secondary and Cumulative Impacts MMM has conducted extensive testuig to estunate the amount of water withdrawal ui obtauung the Capacrty Use permrt for the pro�ect The aquifer tests and groundwater modelmg conducted for the pro�ect determuied that the average dewatermg discharge for the built out condition of the pit would be 9 rrullion gallons per day(MGD) Tlus 12 ❑�❑ and�Assoqates Inc was considered a conservative estunate for the built out condition However wrth considerable coorduiation and discussion with the NCDWQ two sigmficant questions were raised regardmg the muie activrty and dewaterulg They were 1 Will the zone of mfluence m surficial groundwater drauluig to the active pit adversely affect hydrologic functions of ad�acent wetlands� 2 Will the downstream receivmg water(Blount s Creek) be adversely affected by the dewater discharge volume and water quahty� Will this adversely affect anadromous fish spawrung habrtat� MMM will address these issues through water management w�thm the Site Dewateruig water w�ll be routed to the drtch system after bemg treated by the operahon s detention and clarification ponds Once contamed m the onsite ditch system, the water will be mamtamed withm ditches surroundmg the active pit area to establish a hydrologic barrier for surficial groundwater movement towards the pit MMM has applied a sirrular water management plan to protect ad�acent wetlands to an achve muie operation at the�r Rocky Pomt Quarry m Pender County North Carolina Due to the routmg and residence tune for water to be contamed wrthm the Srte water quality of the discharge water will be below effluent limits per the NPDES pernut Tlus is expected smce the treated discharge water will flow through approxunately two and a half miles of drtch before leavmg the Site at the NPDES d�scharge locations to Blount s Creek In addition silviculture activrties and natural dramage will contmue wrthm the srte m undeveloped areas providmg mixmg and attenuation to the discharge water As part of the monrtoruig plan MMM will momtor the stabilrty of the downstream receivmg water(Blount s Creek) below the NPDES discharge location (Outfa11001) as the pro�ect develops Once the average discharge from the operation reaches 4 5 MGD MMM will separate the flows and will d�rect discharge to a secondary outfall location(Outfa11002) The NPDES discharge locations are shown m Figure 7 5 3 1 Mine Dewatering and Ad�acent Wetlands Detailed soil mvestigations mcludmg soil profile descriphons and hydrauhc conductivrty testmg were conducted as part of the field mvestigations and deluieation to define wetlands throughout the site The mvestigations showed that the ent�re site contams subsoil layers of clay and sandy clay that is significantly restricted to seepage Tlus is consistent with the geomorphology of the wetlands systems located on broad flats and mterstream divides Tlus is also indicative of the large contiguous orgamc soils (i e Croatan muck) located South and West of the Site (Figure 3) In addrtion rt was noted durmg the groundwater mvestigation that there was sigmficant clay withu�the deeper surficial soil layers (i e 10 to 15 feet depth) and that aquifer testmg of the deeper groundwater did not have a noticeable effect on the surficial water table Therefore the layers of low permeability clays wrthul the upper surface lirrut deep ground water seepage and the prunary hydrologic influence of 13 ❑�❑ and1eyAssoaates Inc dewatenng at the pit will be to lateral groundwater movement witlun the surficial sediments MMM presented the�r findmgs from the groundwater studies to NCDWQ staff m Apri12010 Based on the studies conducted onsite and through discussions wrth NCDWQ MMM determmed that hydrologic mfluence to the surficial groundwater and wetlands from dewatermg at the pit would lilcely extend 500 7001mear feet from the pit dependmg on the varymg depth of low permeabilrty clay layers In discussions wrth NCDWQ it was acknowledged that 1 500 lmear feet from the prt would be a reasonable distance to assume potential hydrologic mfluence to wetlands from dewatermg Therefore with NCDWQ s mput a robust water table morutormg plan was developed for the Site This mcludes the mstallation of reference morutoruig locations that extend each d�rection from the prt more than one mile In addrtion morutoruig locations are wrthui the Site to document the rate of change and advancement of the zone of influence as the prt develops as well as withm avoided wetland nearest the built out footprint of the pit The mitial slot w�ll progress towards WD 4 which is proposed to be impacted This location will provide data demonstratmg the advancement of the dewatering zone of mfluence (Figures 4 and 7) Once that mitial slot is established future slots will be developed to the East and West towards morutoruig locations which will be�ust outside the mamtamed hydrologic barrier of water mamtamed m the perimeter ditch system The development of these irutial slots will provide detailed data on the distance and degree of hydrologic influence to ad�acent wetland systems from the pit dewatering achvrties In addition, the monrtormg will provide significant baselme information for wetlands m the viciruty to more accurately describe natural variability of wetland hydrology ul the area of the Srte 5 3 2 Water Quality and Downstream Receiving Waters In 2010 MMM conducted mvestigations to determuie the structural mtegrrty and habitat quality of Blount s Creek to evaluate the potential secondary impact to water qualrty downstream from the proposed d�scharge from the Site In development of these studies, MMM conducted multiple meetuigs and field reviews wrth NCDWQ and the N C Wildhfe Resource Commission (NCWRC) The uutial study conducted my KHA, was to evaluate the potential quantity of discharge and whether the capacity of the Blount s Creek system could handle the flows without degrading the system and reduculg aquatic habitat KHA conducted a geomorptuc and hydraulic analysis of potential receivmg streams and determuied that the Blount s Creek stream and floodplam wetland system has sufficient capacrty to handle up to 6 MGD of discharge wrthout 14 ❑� ICm�ley-Horn �❑ and Asso�tes,Inc causuig channel ulstab�lity Wlule it is anticipated that the stream will ad�ust to the progressively mcreasuig discharge and flow regune the stream has well protected banks from woody root systems and has easy access for flood flows to the floodplam Therefore by establishmg a maximum discharge threshold and allowuig the stream to ad�ust to the modified hydrologic regune m equilibrium, there will be no adverse unpact to the channel stabilrty In order to mamtam the threshold discharge to the receivmg waters MMM will implement a secondary discharge location and w�il splrt discharge flow as needed to mamtam channel stability and structural mtegrity of Blount s Creek downstream The geomorphic study and analysis is mcluded as Appendix C In addition to the geomorphic analysis MMM contracted Coastal Zone Resources Inc (CZR) to conduct an assessment of the aquatic habrtat of Blount s Creek at and downstream from the proposed discharge Tlus report is mcluded as Appendix D The CZR study was conducted m the sprulg of 2011 to evaluate the stream as potenhal spawmng habitat for anadromous fish Flow and seasonal conditions were optunal to evaluate fish spawmng however no anadromous fish were observed durmg the study Through unplementation of the momtormg plan MMM will manage discharge at the permrtted outfalls so that the structural mtegrity of the receivulg stream channels remam stable and mtact and therefore will not have an adverse unpact on anadromous fish or spawmng habrtat In addrtion CZR sampled water quality parameters and evaluated the macro benthic commumty to descnbe the quahty of the aquatic commuruty and compare tlus to other momtored stream systems similarly situated ui the basm Visual assessment and comments by the resource agencies duruig pro�ect meetuigs mdicated that Blount s Creek would be considered a high quality aquatic system However CZR s analysis showed that the abundance and diversity of fish and macrobentluc mvertebrates was lower than expected and that Blount s Creek was typical of an upper dramage segment of a lower Coastal Plain freshwater system Therefore MMM will implement a treatment of dewaterulg discharge through settlmg and attenuation withm the Srte as well as mixmg with natural drau7age from silviculture lands wrthm the Srte pnor to d�rectly dischargmg to Blount s Creek In addition to visual observation of channel stability at the discharge location MMM will momtor water quahty at the discharge location per the NPDES permrt to document compliance wrth State water qualrty requ�rements 15 ��❑ �mley Hom � and Assasates Inc 5 4 M�t�gation There are no available mitigation banks within the HUC for which the proposed impacts to�unsdictional wetlands will occur Therefore MMM proposed to pursue mrtigation through ui lieu fee payment to the North Carohna Ecosystem Enhancement Program Payment will be made for a 1 1 rrutigation ratio rounded up to the nearest 0 25 acre This ratio is proposed due to the degree of alteration the existuig wetland commuruties have encountered from the histoncal alteration of the landscape soils and hydrology The�urisdictional waters witlun the Site are ent�rely man made dramage ditches which provide little functional value other than conveyulg water to and supportmg the downstream offsrte aquatic commumties MMM through the�r water management plan will mauitaui hydration to downstream receivmg waters All of the uutial development per the approved Mme Plan(mrtial ten years of operation) will occur wrthm the Blount s Creek watershed Therefore MMM will mamtam hydrologic connectivrty to all onsite ditches until they are utilized for the water management plan and will ensure that drauiage from the srte will be mamtauied such that offsite drainage ditches and receiving waters will receive NPDES permitted discharge proportional to the watershed area affected 5 5 Conclus►ons of Alternat►ves Analysis MMM has spent considerable tune coordinatmg wrth the Weyerhaeuser Company and conductmg mvestigations to develop a quarry site that w�il yield sufficient reserves to supply tlus market area for the coming years that also muiumzes unavoidable impacts to�urisdictional areas As the proposed quarry is developed Weyerhaeuser w�ll contmue to manage and operate the�r tunber management practices wrthm the much broader watershed areas surrounduig and wrthm the Site Martm Marietta beheves and has demonstrated that tlus Site is the preferred alternative location for a quarryulg operation when considermg the extremely large buffer area provided by the surroundmg pine plantation and muiimal impact to �urisdictional areas 16 ❑� Kimley Horn � and As�at�,Inc r-�► -► � ��� � - � � , �'� i�� - ��.� � � • �

Hydraul�c Analysis for the Proposed Built out Dewatering Discharge Purpose The followmg Techmcal Memorandum provides an assessment of the potent�al impact the proposed bu�ld out discharge of 12 m�ll�on gallons per day (MGD) may have on the structural stab�irty of the downstream rece�vmg waters at the proposed Martu►Mar�etta Mater�als (MMM)Vanceboro Quarry srte Background In pro�ect and pre appl�cation discussions with the North Carohna Division of Water Quality(NCDWQ) the approx�mated dewatermg discharge of 12 MGD has been assumed for the built out cond�tion of the proposed prt In order to evaluate potent�al impact to receiving waters NCDWQ recommended geomorph�c stream measurements be collected and evaluated at potential discharge locations Analys�s Four (4) locat�ons were analyzed along unnamed tributar�es (UT) to Blounts Creek the recerv�ng stream for the proposed d�scharge dewater�ng These locat�ons are �nd�cated as UT1 UT2 Lower UT2 Upper and UT3 as shown on the attached F�gure 1 Geomorph�c and Hydraul�c Analys�s Locat�on Map � Geomorphic measurements at each of these four (4) locat�ons mcluded measurement of typical riffle and pool cross sections and a long�tudmal profile of the channel bed Add�tional(y channel bed material was analyzed Photographs of the areas measured can be found in Append�x 1 and measured cross sections and profiles can be found m Append�x 2 F�eld md�cators were evaluated to �dent�fy the bankfull channel d�mension wh�ch is cons�dered the channel formmg flow Measured bankfull cross sect�ons were compared to the Coastal Plam Rural Regional Curve data to correlate observations taken durmg the srte visrt Generally based on the s�ze of the upstream watersheds the Coastal Plam Reg�onal Curve data suggested that the channel cross sectional areas would typ�cally be expected to be larger than the v�s�ble channel cross sect�ons rev�ewed durmg the s�te v�srt Th�s d�fference may be attr�buted to htstorically altered upstream drair►age patterns Observed bankfull md�cators suggested that the bankfull dimens�ons for UTl UT2 Upper and UT2 Lower be measured from the top of bank of the vis�ble stream However UT3 appears to have been h�stortcally channel�zed as rt ex�sts as a narrow deep and stra�ghtened channel wrth a side cast berm No defin�tive bankfull md�cators were observed for UT3 therefore to properly assess the structural stabil�ty of UT3 the bankfull area was set at the top of bank of the channel 1 Hydraul�c performance was evaluated usmg the Mann�ng s Equat�on wrthm the measured nffle cross sect�on for each UT Analyzed flows mcluded bankfull discharge base flow discharge the add�tion of the proposed 12 MGD built out dtscharge and addrtion of the 6 MGD 'h built out d�scharge Base flow was assumed to be 2 cfs for each syuare m�le of dramage area To assess the proposed stream flow the proposed built out discharge was added to the est�mated base flow Channel substrate for each tr�butary cons�sted of mostly sand Each tr�butary had strong bank vegetation which mcluded large trees rooted banks and low growmg shrub vegetat�on UT2 Upper and UT3 appear to have been h�storically channel�zed and stra�ghtened and therefore lacked the large meanders and smuos�ty of UT 1 and UT2 Lower The Mannmg s n value range utilized wrthm the bankfull channel was estimated to be between 0 045 0 O55 and was based on the ex�stmg channel substrate smuosity and vegetat�on observed The Mannmg s n value was mcreased to 0 10 for areas located above the top of bank for each channel as the floodplams of each tr�butary contamed large wooded riparian buffers w�th relatively dense undergrowth A deta�led results table for the hydraul�c analysis �s m Append�x 3 A summary of these results is m Table 1 below

resultmg velocity(v) shear stress(r) and stream power (w) Velocrty shear stress and stream power will be util�zed to descr�be the energy exper�enced withm the stream system at the var�ous discharge events For the purposes of this analysis the butlt out discharge of 12 MGD (18 6 cfs) was considered to be constant 6 MGD (9 3 cfs) was also analyzed to prov�de an understandmg of the stream response to a lower discharge smce the mme development and dewatermg discharge will be gadual Streams develop morphological characteristics based on the long term effects of runoff m the watershed from a variety of storm events In th�s case the bankfull channels are the cross sect�ons that formed as a result of these highly variable runoff storm events Therefore the bankfull flows represent the average channel formmg flow Bankfull flow events typ�cally correlate to a storm return mterval of 1 1 to 1 3 years Therefore if the proposed discharges m Table 1 resemble bankfull flow condrtions then geomorphic ad�ustments wrthm the tributary would be expected over time Proposed flow cond�t�ons closer to the base flow condrtion would be less likely to cause s�gmficant adJustments over time Table 2

NPDES Descharge MMM Vanceboro Srte July/4 2010 Summary of Results UTl with a larger dramage area has a greater channel capac�ty At the location that the cross section measurements where taken the dramage area �s approximately 11 2 square miles resultmg m a bankfull flow of 96 5 cfs For UT1 the proposed 12 MGD butlt out d�scharge is less than the base flow condytion est�mated at 22 4 cfs (approximately 80% of the est�mated base flow) When added to the base flow the proposed discharge generally matches the velocity shear stress and stream power exper�enced from normal base flow through the channel Therefore rt is likely that geomorphic ad�ustments resultmg from the proposed built out dewatermg d�scharge would be mm�mal at UT1 UT2 Upper has a smaller dramage area and does not produce as favorable results The proposed 12MGD built out d�scharge produces velocities equal bankfull velocit�es and shear stress and stream power values that are greater than the bankfull condrtion Addrtionally the channel flow condrt�ons resultmg from the proposed '/2 bu�lt out discharge of 6 MGD produce velocrty shear stress and stream power values approx�mately equal to the bankfull condrt�on Therefore UT2 Upper would likely experience ad�ustments due to the veloc�ty shear stress and stream power created even by the proposed '/2 built out discharge Downstream at UT2 Lower the dramage area mcreases from UT2 Upper however the measure bankfull channel �s smaller The bankfull channel at this locat�on appears to be affected by histor�cally altered upstream dramage The proposed dewatermg d�scharge of 18 6 cfs accounts for approx�mately 90% of the bankfull discharge for UT2 Lower When the proposed built out discharge �s added to the base flow discharge on UT2 Lower the resultmg discharge exceeds the capac�ty of the bankfull channel and overtops the banks Therefore the reported velocrty shear stress and stream power values are lower due to flow wrthm the floodplam The proposed '/z bu�lt out discharge at this locat�on produces sim�lar results to UT2 Upper w�th velocity shear stress and stream power values approximately equal to the bankfull cond�tion UT2 Lower would l�kely experience ad�ustments due to both the proposed built out and '/2 built out d�scharge The dramage area to UT3 appears to be historically altered and re routed through dramage drtches This results m a dramage area of 0 04 square m�les and reduces the estimate base flow discharge For this reason comparison of the proposed discharges to the base flow d�scharge for UT3 was not considered However the existmg channel at UT3 appears to have a greater abilrty to convey the proposed built out discharge of 12 MGD than UT2 Upper and UT2 Lower The proposed built out discharge produces veloc�ty and stream power values that are less than bankfull values and shear stress values that are equal to the bankfull cond�t�on Although the stream would likely experience channel ad�ustments due to shear stress and stream power values bemg similar to the bankfull cond�t�on When cons�dermg the proposed '/z built out discharge the channel shear stress and stream power is reduced to a level that geomorph�c ad�ustments would be less likely UT3 however appeared to be a man made d�tch durmg the field assessment If this sect�on of UT3 �s found to be a non�urisdictional feature then the channel could be s�zed to carry more flow and a stable channel cross sect�on could be constructed Although UT2 Upper and UT2 Lower (UT2) would likely expertence ad�ustments resultmg from discharges of 12 MGD and 6 MGD rt appears that both tr�butaries could be capable of conveymg a d�scharge to a grven threshold The proposed built out d�scharge of 12 MGD could then be splrt to various downstream tributaries by utihzmg this developed discharge threshold Add�tionally the hydraulics of UT2 Upper and UT2 L,ower appear to suggest that geomorph�c �mpacts to the stream are likely however rt �s �mportant to assess the abil�ty of the r�parian system to adJust to change and mauitam stabilrty The ex�stmg tr�butar�es flow through mature riparian corridors have 4 Technrcal Memorandum Geomorph�c and Hydraulic Analysis for Proposed NPDES Drscharge MMM�anceboro Srte July 14 20/0 regular access to their wooded floodplams and thick vegetation and tree roots secure their banks These factors appear to prov�de stability to the streams as they have been altered h�storically by d�rect channelizat�on modification to the upstream dramage pattern and modification of the land cover wrthm the�r watersheds The proposed built out discharge of 18 6 cfs (12MGD)will not occur at the max�mum capac�ty from the onset of the proposed mmmg act�vrty but will gradually mcrease over time as the proposed mmmg plan is implemented Th�s gadual mcrease should allow the stream tributar�es located downstream of the d�scharge location to ad�ust over t�me and mamtam stabil�ty Ultimately the downstream tributaries appear to have responded well to h�storical alterations and due to the qual�ty of the r�parian system seem capable of resistmg some level of change over time Conclus�on Based on the analys�s presented w�thm this techmcal memorandum rt is our opmion that the followmg could occur ■ The d�scharge locat�ons of UT2 Upper and UT2 Lower could accommodate a threshold dtscharge allowmg these tr�butar�es to be utilized m a splrt flow scenario Further study would be necessary to determme the appropriate d�scharge threshold ■ UT 3 could be ut�lized to convey at least 6 MGD(9 3 cfs)wrth mmimal geomorphic ad�ustments If UT3 �s found to be non�urisdictional then th�s channelized section of UT3 could be mod�fied to convey addrtional dewatering d�scharge The final conveyance of UT3 would help determme the discharge thresholds set for UT2 and ■ UT1 appears to be of capable s�ze to convey the entire proposed bu�lt out dewatermg discharge of 12 MGD(18 6 cfs)wrth mmimal geomorphic ad�ustments It is also recommended that a monrtormg program be established for the tributaries that are chosen as discharge locations These downstream tr�butar�es should be monrtored at the onset of the mmmg actrvity and as flows gradually mcrease as the mmmg plan �s implemented Stream monrtormg will allow the gradual stream ad�ustments to be quantified and, if necessary corrective action to take

Ecoregion swamp region B 23 Blounts Creek Habitat Assessment Beaufort County NC Pageiii CZRlncorporated Aquatic Habitat Assessment of the Upper Headwaters of Blounts Creek in the Vicinity of a Potential Quarry Site Near Vanceboro, Beaufort County, NC 1 0 INTRODUCTION Blounts Creek and several associated unnamed tributary (UT) locations were evaluated for aquatic habitat quality using North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) standards Evaluation of aquatic habitat was performed at four locations two potential impact locations and two control locations The habitat assessment included collection of water quality fish and macroinvertebrate data 1 1 Purpose The purpose of this evaluation was to characterize areas of the Blounts Creek headwaters that may be affected by potential future quarry operations (impact areas) and compare those locations to one area of no planned impact and one area downstream of the three sampled upper tributaries(control areas) 1 Z Pro�ect Site Blounts Creek is located in Beaufort County North Carolina in the vicinity of the Vanceboro Township Blounts Creek drains generally from south to north and is a tributary to the Pamlico River The lower reaches are estuarine and classified by the state as saltwater from Herring Run to the Pamlico River Blounts Creek is classified as freshwater from its source to Herring Run which is located approximately five miles upstream of its mouth with the Pamlico River The most downstream sampled site referred to in this study as Blounts Creek is over eight stream miles from the mouth and the most upstream sampled site UT1 is about 10 stream miles from the mouth (Figure 1) Sampled stream segments are classified by the state as class C freshwaters swamp waters and nutrient sensitive waters (NCDWQ 2007) All sampled stream segments were within alluvial bottomland hardwood forests on soils mapped as Muckalee (Kirby 1995) The drainage basins above all sampled locations are occupied by various stages of pine plantation on hydric soils mapped largely as Leaf silt loam Bayboro loam and Pantego loam Estimated drainage basin acreages associated with each sampling station are Blounts Creek drainage basin covers the largest area with 7 080 acres (11 1 square miles) followed by UT2 with 2 730 acres (4 3 square miles) UT1 with 2 025 acres (3 2 square miles) and UT3 with 1 240 acres (19 square miles) Unnamed tributary UT 2 and UT3 were chosen as Blounts Creek Habitat Assessment Beaufort County NC Page 1 CZR Incorporated representative impact sites based on the proposed pro�ect and current drainage basins Similarly Blounts Creek and UT1 were chosen as control sites (Figure 1) 2 0 METHODS 2 1 Water Quality and Physical Parameters Temperature conductivity salinity dissolved oxygen and pH were measured and recorded by CZR Incorporated (CZR) with an YSI Professional Plus Quatro at each of the four fish and benthos sampling stations as well as three additional downstream locations on Blounts Creek (Figure 1) Water quality at the four fish and benthos sampling stations were measured twice once on the first day of sampling in con�unction with fyke net set and benthic sweep collections and next on the following morning in con�unction with fyke net retrieval and electroshock fishing Water quality at the other three downstream water quality locations was measured once (second sampling day) Other qualitative parameters assessed by CZR at the time of benthic quantitative sampling included substrate composition water depth canopy cover aufwuchs (algal bacterial fungal and meiofaunal growth upon solid surfaces) flow estimates and bank erosion Photographs characteristic of the habitat were taken at each sampling station and a NCDWQ habitat field assessment data form was completed at each of the sampling stations 2 2 Fish Monitoring stations 600 feet in length were established for surveying fish in four separate locations in accordance with NCDWQ 2006 Standard Operating Procedure Stream Fish Community Assessment Program (NCDENR 2006a) Fish were sampled at each of the four monitoring stations on 12 April 2011 using a Smith Root battery powered backpack Model 12 POW Electrofisher with a conductivity range of 10 to 600 microsiemens/cm3 In an effort to more thoroughly sample fish populations paired fyke nets (one facing upstream and one faang downstream) each consisting of a 0 25 inch mesh net with four 21 inch hoops a 6 inch throat and a 22 foot wingspan were set in the channel at the downstream end of all four monitoring stations Fyke nets were deployed the evening of 11 April 2011 and retrieved the morning of 12 April 2011 All collected fish specimens were identified measured counted and photographed in the field prior to release

C � 7 � O N m U r Several metrics for fish communities can be used to assess the biological integrity of streams but many are not applicable to coastal plain streams due to the unique biological physical and chemical characteristics of these systems However three metrics (species richness total fish abundance and percent tolerant individuals) have been found useful in assessing the biotic integrity in the coastal plain (Paller et al 1996 Scott and Hall 1997) The dietary guild structure of individuals was also used in order to evaluate trophic complexity within the tributaries Trophic classification and � tolerance rankings (tolerant intermediate and intolerant) were based on the classifications developed by NCDWQ (NCDENR 2006a) In addition the percentage of anadromous individuals collected was used as a metric as they are part of the natural fish assemblage for most coastal plain streams and these species are of particular interest and concern to state and federal agencies For purposes of this study young of year (YOY) fish specimens were included in data analysis The Jaccard index and the Morisita Horn index of community similarity were used to compare the similarity of fish communities between the four monitoring stations The Jaccard index (C�) (Brower Zar and von Ende 1998) is defined as C,=c/(sl+sZ c) where c= number of species found at both sites and sl s2 are the total number of species in community 1 and 2 respectively The Morisita Horn index (Cmh) (Li and Li 1996) while more complicated has the additional advantage of incorporating not �ust the presence of similar species but also the relative abundance of species found at both sites Consequently it is a more comprehensive descriptor of community similarity It is defined as Cmn= 2 Ex, , where — ��i+7�z)�NiNz) x, and y,are the total number of the ith species at site land 2 N1 and NZ represent the total number of individuals at site 1 and 2 respectively and �1= Ex,L, 1) and �Z is similarly defined Ni�Ni 1) Both the Jaccard and the Morisita Horn indices of community similarity range from 0 to 1 with 0 representing completely dissimilar populations and 1 representing identical populations

described in NCDWQ 2006 Standard Operating Procedures for collection of benthic invertebrates in the Level IV Ecoregion Swamp Region B of the coastal plain of North Carolina (NCDENR 2006b) Region B generally corresponds with the Mid Atlantic Flatwoods ecoregion (63e) This area is bounded by the Neuse River to the south and the Suffolk scarp to the east In accordance with the protocol nine standing sweep net samples for macroinvertebrates were collected within the 600 foot fish sampling reach prior to fish shocking Samples were sieved and picked in the field and preserved in 10 percent formalin in labeled specimen vials Benthic samples were identified by a CZR benthic ecologist to the lowest taxonomic level possible Twenty five (25) percent of the samples were randomly selected to be re identified by an outside laboratory for QA/QC North Carolina tolerance values for each identified taxa were used where available to calculate a biotic index (BI) for each sampling location (NCDENR 2006b in addition to personal communications with Larry Eaton Environmental Senior Specialist NCDENR) The BI values allow assessment of temporal changes as well as comparison of biological integrity among samples Values for BI range from 1 10 with 10 indicating the most biologically altered or polluted Additionally Ephemeroptera Plecoptera and Trichoptera taxa richness (EPT richness) was calculated Similar to BI EPT richness is considered an indicator of good ecosystem health Coastal streams average higher BI s and lower EPT richness than mountain and piedmont streams due to their low flow conditions Each sampl�ng location was also assessed using site scores which were calculated using swamp stream criteria from NCDENR (2006b) as follows BI calculation Tv(n)/N where Tv Tolerance value n Abundance value (1 3 or 10) N Sum of all abundance values A site score was calculated using the BI habitat score EPT score and taxa richness score This formula is found in the North Carolina Macroinvertebrate Standard Operating Procedure (2006b) The score ranges from 0 10 scores between 9 and 10 indicate natural conditions scores between 4 and 8 indicate moderate stress and scores between 1 and 3 designate a severely stressed stream Taxa were assigned to one of the eight types of functional feeding groups (collector gatherer predator shredder scraper collector filterer parasite omnivore Blounts Creek Habitat Assessment Beaufort County NC Page 5 CZR Incorporated and piercer) (Barbour et al 1999 Bode et al 1991 1996 Klem et al 1990 Mackie 2001 Plafkin et al 1989) Feeding guild structure is used to evaluate trophic complexity between tributaries Stressed conditions can be reflected in an imbalance of functional feeding groups or unstable food dynamics (Barbour 1999) Similar to metrics used to compare fish the Jaccard index and the Morisita Horn index of community similarity were used to compare the similarity of the benthic communities between the four monitoring stations (Brower Zar and von Ende 1998) 3 0 RESULTS 3 1 Water Quality and Physical Parameters Site conditions associated with benthic collections are found in Table 1 The substrate for all sites was predominantly detritus and/or silt Most sites were within bottomland hardwood forest with stable vegetated banks and slow flowing water approximately 1 to 2 feet deep A summary of collected water quality measurements collected during fish sampling is presented in Table 2 Temperature ranged from 18 6 C upon net retrieval and electrofishing at UT3 (impact 2) to 25 5 C upon net retrieval and electrofishing at UT2 (impact 1) Conductivity and specific conductivity ranged between 717 microsiemens (µS) to 119 2 µS and 710 µS to 132 0 µS respectively Percent saturation of dissolved oxygen ranged from 49 0 upon net retrieval and electrofishing at UT1 (control 1) to 917 upon net set at UT3 (impact 2) and milligrams per liter of dissolved oxygen (mg/L) ranged from 4 52 to 8 18 respectively Salinity ranged from 0 04 practical salinity units (psu) at UT2 (impact 1) to 0 06 psu at UT1 (control 1) The pH ranged between 4 37 upon net set at UT1 (control 1) to 4 85 upon net set at UT2 (impact 1) Photographs taken from sampling stations are found in Appendix A and completed NCDWQ habitat field assessment forms are found in Appendix B Parameters from the three water quality stations sampled at downstream locations unassociated with fish and benthic sampling were collected the second day of sampling after fyke net retrieval Overall pH was higher at these locations and station WQ3 had considerably lower conductivities Blounts Creek Habitat Assessment Beaufort County NC Page 6 CZR Incorporated Table 1 Description of stream conditions at four fish and benthic sampling

collected among seven species between both electrofishing and fyke netting at UT2 Bluespotted sunfish (Enneacanthus gloriosus) pirate perch (Aphredoderus sayanus) and chain pickerel (Esox niger) comprised most of the collected individuals between the two sampling methods Two of 20 fish collected at UT2 were YOY chain pickerel Six of the seven species of fish collected at UT2 were collected during electrofishing with one species mud sunfish (Acantharchus pomotis) only being collected by fyke net Six of seven species collected at UT2 have an intermediate tolerance rating Yellow bullhead (Ame�urus natalis) was the only species collected at UT2 tolerant of adverse environmental conditions therefore only five percent of the total individuals collected were tolerant of adverse environmental conditions Two of seven species collected were piscivorous (fish eating Blounts Creek Habitat Assessment Beaufort County NC Page 7 CZR Incorporated speaes) representing six individuals or 30 percent of the total catch None of the seven species collected were anadromous (Table 3) The Jaccard index indicated that although UT2 had the most species in common with Blounts Creek (0 75) the Morisita Horn index indicated that UT2 was more similar to UT1 in terms of community overlap (0 79) (Table 4) 3 2 2 Unnamed Tributary 3(Impact 2) A total of nine individual fish were collected among four species between both electrofishing and fyke netting at UT3 Creek chubsucker (Erimyzon oblongus) and pirate perch comprised most of the collected individuals between the two sampling methods each representing three individuals One of nine fish collected at UT3 was a YOY bluegill (Lepom►s macrochirus) No fish were collected at UT3 during electrofishing all fish from UT3 were collected by fyke net All four species collected at UT3 are intermediately tolerant of adverse environmental conditions None of the species collected at UT3 were either piscivorous or anadromous (Table 3) The Jaccard index indicated that UT3 had the most species in common with Blounts Creek (0 38) The Morisita Horn index also indicated that UT3 was more similar to Blounts Creek in terms of community overlap (0 86) compared to the other monitoring stations (Table 4) 3 2 3 Unnamed Tributary 1(Control 1) A total of 11 individual fish were collected among four species between both electrofishing and fyke netting at UT1 Bluespotted sunfish and chain pickerel comprised most of the collected individuals between the two sampling methods Two YOY bluespotted sunfish and one YOY chain pickerel were collected at UT1 No fish were collected at UT1 during electrofishing all fish from UT1 were collected by fyke net All four species collected at UT1 are intermediately tolerant of adverse environmental conditions Two of four species collected were pisavorous (four individuals) or 36 percent of the total catch None of the four species collected were anadromous (Table 3) The Jaccard index indicated that UT1 had the most species in common with UT2 (0 57) The Morisita Horn index also indicated that UT1 was more similar to UT2 in terms of community overlap (0 79) compared to the other monitoring stations (Table 4) Blounts Creek Habitat Assessment Beaufort County NC Page 8 CZR Incorporated � � � � M M � O �D � �11 N N � � N M M O l� � � N n d � �6 N L i N l� � �p V1 01 tD l� �

individual fish were collected among seven spec�es between both electrofishing and fyke netting at Blounts Creek Creek chubsucker and pirate perch comprised most of the collected individuals between the two sampling methods representing 16 and 10 individuals respectively No YOY fish were collected from Blounts Creek Only two of the seven species of fish collected at Blounts Creek were collected during electrofishing with one species redfin pickerel (Esox americanus americanus) being collected by electrofishing only Six of seven species collected at Blounts Creek have an intermediate tolerance rating Yellow bullhead was the only species collected at Blounts Creek tolerant of adverse environmental conditions Two yellow bullhead were collected out of 32 individuals from Blounts Creek therefore only 6 percent of the total individuals collected were tolerant of adverse environmental conditions One of seven species collected was pisavorous representing one individual or only 3 percent of the total catch None of the seven species collected were anadromous (Table 3) The Jaccard index indicated that Blounts Creek had the most species in common with UT2 (0 75) Though Blounts Creek had the most species in common with UT2 the Morisita Horn index indicated that Blounts Creek was more similar to UT3 in terms of community overlap (0 86) The Morisita Horn index is independent of sample size and takes into account individuals per species not �ust the presence or absence of species (Table 4) 3 3 Aquatic Macroinvertebrates 3 3 1 Unnamed Tributary 2(Impact 1) This site (UT2) is characterized by a semi open canopy and a detrital channel substrate (Table 1) The Jaccard index and Morisita Horn index indicated that UT2 was most similar to Blounts Creek (0 410 89 respectively) (Table 5) A total of 16 taxa from eight groups were identified w�th a total of 65 individuals enumerated (Table 6) Four types of functional feeding groups were present at this site including collector gatherer predator shredder collector filterer The most abundant feeding type collector gatherer comprised approximately 58 percent of the total organisms and 38 percent of the total taxa at this site A biotic index (BI) of 7 28 was calculated for UT2 and it received a NCDWQ site score of 6 which is in the middle of the moderately stressed range (4 8) (Tables 7 and 8) Blounts Creek Habitat Assessment Beaufort County NC Page 12 CZR Incorporated 3 3 2 Unnamed Tributary 3(Impact 2) This site (UT3) is characterized by a semi closed canopy and a silty clay channel substrate (Table 1) The Jaccard index indicated UT3 and UT1 were most similar (0 36) in species composition and the Morisita index indicated the UT3 community was most similar to Blounts Creek (0 94) (Table 5) A total of 10 taxa from five groups were identified with 52 individuals enumerated (Table 6) Three functional feeding groups were identified at this site including predator collector gatherer and shredder The collector gatherer was the most abundant feeding group comprising approximately 71 percent of the total organisms and 50 percent of the species collected at this site A BI of 7 61 and a NCDWQ site score of 4 was calculated for UT3 (Table 7) This site score represents the lowest score in the moderately stressed range (Table 8) 3 3 3 Unnamed Tributary 1(Control 1) This site (UT1) is characterized by a semi open canopy and a silty clay channel substrate (Table 1) The Jaccard index indicated that UT3 had the most species in common with UT1 (0 36) The Morisita Horn index indicated that Blounts Creek and UT2 were equally similar to UT1 in terms of community overlap (0 91) compared to the other monitoring stations (Table 5) A total of eight taxa from four groups were identified with 56 individuals counted (Table 6) Four types of functional feeding groups were identified at this site including collector gatherers predators collector filterers and scrapers The collector gatherer feeding group comprised approximately 50 percent of the species and 84 percent of the total organisms collected at this site A BI of 7 73 and a site score of 4 was estimated for UT1 since the pH for this site was below the range with data used to assign a score (Table 7 and 8) Similar to UT3 (impact 2) this control site had a site score on the low end of the site score range indicating a moderately stressed system 3 3 4 Blounts Creek(Control 2) The Blounts Creek sampling station has a closed canopy and a detrital channel substrate (Table 1) The laccard index indicated Blounts Creek and UT2 communities were most similar (0 41) in species composition the Morisita index indicated Blounts Creek was most similar to UT3 (0 94) (Table 5) Eight taxa from four groups were identified with 29 individuals enumerated (Table 6) Four functional feeding groups were present including collector gatherers predators shredders and collector filterers Collector gatherers comprised 38 percent of the species and 76 percent of the total organisms collected at this site Blounts Creek Habitat Assessment Beaufort County NC Page 13 CZR Incorporated Blounts Creek had a BI of 7 83 and a NCDWQ site score of 5 indicating a moderately stressed site (Table 7 and 8) 4 0 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS 4 1 Water Quality Collected data were within expected ranges and characteristic of coastal plain swamp streams Naturally occurring tannic acids occur from the breakdown of organic matter and are often retained in low flow swamp streams contributing to low pH conditions When comparing the downstream water quality monitoring sites to water quality taken at the fish and macroinvertebrate sampling sites higher pH and greater water depths were the most notable differences Also the downstream WQ3 site had relatively low conductivities when compared across all sites Dissolved oxygen (mg/L) and pH measurements were within the North Carolina fresh surface water quality standards for class C waters (15A NCACO2B 0211) according to NCDWQ Surface Water and Wetland Standards (NCDENR 2007) 4 2 Fish Species richness ranged from four species collected at both UT3 (impact 2) and UT1 (control 1) to seven species collected at both UT2 (impact 1) and Blounts Creek (control 2) Total abundance ranged from a low of nine individuals at UT3 (impact 2) to a high of 32 individuals collected at Blounts Creek (control 2) Species richness of a stream decreases with increased stress and/or environmental degradation (Barbour et al 1999 Roth et al 2000 NCDENR 2006a) Overall both species richness and total abundance were relatively low for both impact and control monitoring locations Eight out of nine species collected across all four monitoring stations were intermediately tolerant of adverse environmental conditions as defined by NCDWQ (NCDENR 2006a) Yellow bullhead was the only tolerant species collected with three individuals out of a total of 71 collected across all four monitoring stations Two of the three yellow bullhead individuals collected were from Blounts Creek (control 2) accounting for only six percent of the total catch collected from Blounts Creek (Table 2) There were no intolerant speaes collected at any of the four monitoring stations Collection of such a low percentage of tolerant species within fish communities is typically viewed as an indicator of an undisturbed reference stream as the number of tolerant individuals increases as a stream degrades conversely Blounts Creek Habitat Assessment Beaufort County NC Page 14 CZR Incorporated collection of no intolerant species within a stream usually indicates degradation (Paller et al 1996 Scott and Hall 1997 Roth et al 2000 NCDENR 2006a) Pirhalla (2004) classified six of the eight intermediately tolerant species collected across the four monitoring locations as tolerant in the coastal plain of Maryland while trying to develop a tolerance mdex of habitat degradation for stream fish excluding only flier (Centrarchus macropterus) and mud sunfish (Acantharchus pomotis) Five of nine species collected across all four monitoring stations were insectivores representing 36 individuals out of a total of 71 collected Typically in a stressed stream environment the number of omnivores increases and the insectivores and piscivores decrease (Roth et al 2000 NCDENR 2006a) The percentage of insectivores collected was greatest at all but Blounts Creek (control 2) where omnivores made up 56 percent of the total catch (Table 2) The combined percentage of fish collected with insectivore and piscivore trophic guilds from UT2 (impact 1) and UT1 (control 1) were 85 percent and 91 percent respectively No anadromous species were collected at any of the four monitoring stations Anadromous species w�th the potential to occur would be from the Clupeidae family These include the blueback herring(Alosa aestivalis) American shad (Alosa sapidissima) hickory shad (Alosa med�ocr�s) gizzard shad (Dorosoma cepedianum) and threadfin shad (Dorosoma petenense) All species of Clupeidae are intermediately tolerant of adverse environmental conditions as defined by NCDWQ(NCDENR 2006a) Both the Jaccard index and the Morisita Horn index indicated that UT3 (impact 2) and UT1 (control 1) were most similar to Blounts Creek (control 2) and UT2 (impact 1) respectwely The Jaccard index indicated that UT2 (impact 1) and Blounts Creek (contro! 2} had the most species in common however the Morisita Horn index indicated that UT2 (impact 1) and Blounts Creek (control 2) were most similar to UT1 (control 1) and UT3 (impact 2) respectively The Morisita Horn index is independent of sample size and takes into account individuals per species not �ust the presence or absence of species 4 3 Aquatic Macroinvertebrates Diversity ranged from 8 16 taxa identified with a range of 29 65 individual organisms collected at each site The most diverse site sampled was UT2 (impact 1) with eight groups 16 taxa and 65 individuals identified (Tables 5 and 6) Only two sampling stations had EPT of those two stations one had a single taxon with one individual (Blounts Creek) and the other station UT2 had two taxa with one individual each When BI s across all stations are compared relatively little difference was Blounts Creek Habitat Assessment Beaufort County NC Page 15 CZR Incorporated detectable and values ranged between 7 28 and 7 83 In the swamp stream habitat this range indicates the streams evaluated are under moderate stress (NCDWQ, 2006b) Station UT2 had the lowest BI (7 28) and highest EPT (2) indicating that this location has slightly better water quality when compared to the other stations Taxa and individuals from most stations were predominantly occupied by the collector gatherer feeding guild Predators comprised 50 percent of the species at UT1 Station UT1 was the only station with a single individual in one taxon within the scraper feeding guild Shredders represented between 3 and 8 percent of the total individuals and were found at all stations except UT1 Those groups considered specialized feeders (scrapers piercers and shredders) are considered more sensitive and are thought to be well represented in healthy streams while generalist feeders (collectors and filterers) have a broader range of acceptable food materials and as a result are more tolerant to pollution that could alter food availability (Cummins and Klug 1979) The collector gatherer feeding group was dominant at all stations the percentage of this group ranged from approximately 58 percent at UT2 to 84 percent at UT1 Relative abundance of individuals in functional feeding groups (trophic dynamics) may reflect stressed conditions when food dynamics are not stable leading to an imbalance in functional feeding groups (Barbour et al 1999) The shredder feeding group was identified from all sites except UT1 percent relative abundance ranged from 7 7 at UT3 to 3 4 at Blounts Creek These species are especially sensitive to types of toxicity that can penetrate coarse particulate organic matter (CPOM) such as leaf packs Metrics using the ratio of shredder individuals to total individuals are used to evaluate potential site impairment based on the CPOM shredder community Use of this metric here is not suitable because it is based on sampling the CPOM community directly by collecting leaf pack material and washing or picking individuals from the leaf surfaces (Plafkin et al 1989) Overall UT2 had the most even distribution of feeding groups indicating more variety of food sources The NCDWQ site habitat scores ranged from 4 6 at sampled stations (Table 8) The pH from UT1 was below the values in the metric score table however a value of 4 was estimated based on extrapolation of taxa richness from higher pH values Stations UT3 and UT1 had the lowest NCDWQ site scores (4) and UT1 had the lowest pH and dissolved oxygen values These ranges fall at the lower end of moderately stressed streams Station UT2 exhibited the highest site score (6) the lowest BI and highest EPT values indicators that water quality was slightly better at this site compared to other sampled stations Blounts Creek Habitat Assessment Beaufort County NC Page 16 CZR Incorporated The Jaccard index indicated macroinvertebrate communities were most similar between UT2 and Blounts Creek (0 41) which is consistent with the fish metrics The Morisita Horn index indicated macroinvertebrate communities were most similar between UT3 and Blounts Creek (0 94) which is consistent with the fish metrics Various other swamp streams in the same NCDWQ ecoregion (63e) (NCDENR 2006b) as Blounts Creek have been assessed by NCDWQ Bioclassifications for these swamp streams range from severely stressed to natural A total of 11 creeks from the same basin (Tar/Pamlico) with comparable sampling techniques were found in NCDWQ s database five of these had a bioclassification of moderate three were natural one severe and three were not rated When comparing these swamp streams assessed by NCDWQ and the swamp streams sampled in Blounts Creek most of the water quality parameters are similar Conductivity in the DWQ creeks studies ranged from 65 184µS compared to 72 9 112 4 µS from this study and DO in the DWQ and Blounts Creeks ranged from 1 6 11 5mg/L and 4 5 7 4mg/L respectively However the pH range at the Blounts Creek streams in this study are lower (4 4 4 8) than all the DWQ assessed streams (5 1 6 9) except one rated as severely stressed located near Acre Swamp with a pH of 4 2 The biotic index values from the NCDWQ streams with a moderate bioclassification ranged from 6 54 6 88 These values are lower (more environmentally sensitive or pristine) than the BI range sampled in this study (7 28 7 83) The difference in ranges of BI and pH between NCDWQ streams and this study are not surprising because the scores for the creeks in this study fell at the very lowest end (4) of the moderately stressed site score scale (4 8) The differences in analyzed metrics between stations are relatively small e g the BI ranges from 7 28 7 83 This study represents one sampling effort during the period when aquatic life use would be expected to be high The four weeks preceding sampling were within the abnormally dry status assigned by the Drought Monitor (NOAA/NWS/NCEP/CPCEPA/USDA) which incorporates long term tota) rainfall Although monthly rainfall amounts were below average for January through April all monthly totals were normal or within one standard deviation of the average Water levels within the stream channel did not appear abnormally low and appeared favorable for successful aquatic collections Although the overall condition of the sampled stream segments and surrounding alluvial bottomland hardwood community was intact and relatively natural the results of the survey for macroinvertebrates and fish reflect the quality of a relatively typical upper drainage segment of a freshwater stream in the lower coastal plain Perhaps alteration of the watershed which consists of primarily Blounts Creek Habitat Assessment Beaufort County NC Page 17 CZR Incorporated highly managed silvicultural lands on ditched hydric loamy soils has influenced and affected the aquatic community The conversion of the watershed to ditched pine plantations may also contribute to the relatively low pH values which are not an uncommon occurrence in the lower coastal plain but under normal circumstances are more often associated with streams originating in highly organic (peat or muck) soils Blounts Creek Habitat Assessment Beaufort County NC Page 18 CZR Incorporated � � -- �. r-, � o a� � �o + °A �o Q v M a rn ..r � c � _ � 0 c`o U � L ^
