Scott ,
After receiving the MY1 draft report, DMS offers the following comment s:
• Update photos for clarity if possible.
• The vegetation data presented shows that most plots are meeting success, besides one which is
only one stem below success. Compared to MY0, there is a >80% plant survival and over 8
species in the vegetation plots which is considered positively. Please explain if/why a site -wide
replant of 280 stems/acre is necessary at this point. Please provide a visual assessment of the
site (planted stem vigor, etc.) in the narrative.
• Table 3. Update Current Plot data header to show MY1. Provide MY0 annual summary data
next to MY1 annual summary column (exporting Table 7 from CVS should do this for you).
Digital Review-
• The CVS table 7 export does not produce the same stems per acre as table 3 in the report for
plots 2,3,6, and 9. There are also 14 plots in the table 7 export rather than 12. Please ensure
that the CVS mdb supports the data presented in table 3 and resubmit the CVS mdb.
• Please submit the veg plot and photo point monitoring features used in Fig. 3.
• Please submit the photo point photos as JPEGs.
Please call if you have any questions about these comments and inse rt the responses after your cover

1.0 Mitigation Project Summary
The Boseman Buffer Mitigation Site (Site) is a riparian buffer and adjacent riparian areas
restoration project located approximately 2.5 miles southeast of the Town of Rocky Mount in
Edgecombe County, NC (Appendix 1: Figure 1). The Site is approximately 14.91 acres (649,889
ft2) of a total 276 ac tract situated along two unnamed tributaries to the Tar River (Appendix 1:
Figure 2). The project is located in a targeted local watershed (TLW) within the Tar-Pamlico
River basin hydrologic unit code (HUC) 03020101120030 and Subasin 03-03-02. The unnamed
tributaries flow into the Tar River approximately one and half miles downstream of the project.
According to the as-built survey and most recent DWR Buffer Mitigation Calculation Tool V.2
(Updated 1/17/20), the Site is expected to generate 617,518.702 riparian buffer mitigation units
(BMU).
The Boseman Buffer Mitgation Site will
help to reduce future sediment and
nutrient loading into the unnamed
tributaries and downstream Tar River. It
will also improve terrestrial habitats along
this stream by establishing a riparian
corridor and allowing the land to convert
to forested communities. The surrounding
area is primarily agricultural fields. The
project restored forested riparian buffers
and adjacent riparian areas to a maximum
of approximately 115 feet from the top of
bank of the streams and removed rotating
crops and fertilizer inputs. The restored
Tar-Pamlico riparian buffer and adjacent
riparian areas will filter runoff from the surrounding farm fields and provide shading to improve
stream temperatures and aquatic habitat. Invasive vegetation will be treated as needed within the
project area to promote native vegetation.
1.1 Project Goals
According to the N.C. Division of Mitigation Services’ (DMS) 2010 Tar-Pamlico River Basin
Restoration Priorities (RBRP) document, amended 2018, the project will support the identified
goals for the TLW, as well as the overall HUC. As stated in the RBRP, restoration of riparian
buffers and adjacent riparian areas to address agricultural runoff is a high priority for this 14-digit
TLW HUC.
The major goals of the proposed buffer restoration project are to address agricultural runoff,
including nutrients and sediment, protect the project site in perpetuity, and restore terrestrial
habitat. The detailed goals and objectives are:
Boseman Buffer Mitigation Site Annual Monitoring Report MY1
DMS ID No. 100119 Page 2 December 2020
Reduce Nutrient Levels – Nutrient inputs will be decreased by filtering runoff and sequestering
nutrients dispersed from stormwater flows from agricultural fields. These nutrients will be
absorbed through the 30-115 ft wide riparian buffer and adjacent riparian areas restored with
native woody vegetation. This goal is supported by both the TLW and RBRP for reducing
nutrient inputs to the Tar-Pamlico River Basin.
Reduce Sediment Levels – Sediment inputs will be decreased by filtering runoff and attenuating
flood flows from agricultural fields through 30-115 ft wide riparian buffer and adjacent riparian
areas restored with native woody vegetation. This goal is supported by both the TLW and RBRP
for reducing sediment inputs to the Tar-Pamlico River Basin.
Project Protection in Perpetuity – Implement a project in a TLW and record a conservation
easement. This goal is supported by the RBRP to protect aquatic habitat and surface waters.
Restore Terrestrial Habitat – Riparian buffer and adjacent riparian areas will be restored with
native vegation and invasive vegetation will be managed. This goal is supported by the RBRP
and is a DMS Programmatic Goal (NCGS 143-214.10).
1.2 Existing Site Conditions
The buffer restoration project contains approximately 14.9 acres of former agricultural fields
along two unnamed tributaries (hereinafter referred to as UT 1, and UT 2).
UT 1 enters the project site along the western property boundary and flows in an eastward
direction. UT 1 meets the definition of at least intermittent per the NCDWR On-Site
Determination for Applicability to the Tar-Pamlico Buffer Rules Letter dated July 9, 2019
(Appendix 1). UT 2 originates within the property boundary as an ephemeral channel (Reach 2a)
and transitions to an intermittent channel (Reach 2b) prior to it’s confluence with UT 1.
The project was successfully planted with appropriate trees and herbaceouse vegetation and is
now at the end of the first full growing season and early stages of successful buffer restoration.
2.0 Determination of Credits
Riparian buffer and adjacent riparian area restoration was accomplished in accordance with the
Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule (15A NCAC 02B .0295) including the alternative
Boseman Buffer Mitigation Site Annual Monitoring Report MY1
DMS ID No. 100119 Page 3 December 2020
mitigation option of restoration activities along ephemeral streams. Restoration was
accomplished specifically by:
Buffer Restoraiton on Ephemeral Channels (15A NCAC 02B .0295(o)(7)):
a.) NCDWR conducted an on-site stream determination of subject streams and ephemeral
channels on the property
b.) Ephemeral channels are directly connected to intermittent or perennial stream channels
c.) Total mitigation area of ephemeral channels is less than 25% of the total buffer mitigation
area (Table 2, Appendix 1).
All areas within 115 ft of the top of bank of subject streams as measured from the top of bank
landward, will be devoted to generating riparian buffer mitigation credits. Total mitigation area
on ephemeral channels is 12.7% of total buffer mitigation area. Mitigaiton credits generated are
found in Table 2 and Figure 2 in Appendix 1 and are based upon the most recent DWR Buffer
Mitigation Calculation Tool v 2 (Updated 1/17/20).
3.0 Project Construction Summary
The project construction was completed in early March 2020, following mitigation plan approval.
Eco Terra and supporting team members successfully planted and restored the proposed areas
dedicated for riparian buffer and adjacent riparian area restoration with high quality native trees,
shrubs, and herbaceous vegetation.
3.1 Riparian Area Restoration Activities
Restoration of the riparian areas involved planting bare root one to two-year-old trees and shrubs
in designated planting zones based on soil wetness and in accordance with the mitigation plan. In
addition, five to six-year-old trees were planted at representatively selected areas designated for
plots to aid in identifying plot locations. These trees are not included in any individual plot tree
count. However, they are an overall beneficial component of stem diversity and age-class in the
restored forest ecology and serve as important components in restored habitat, nutrient
sequestration, leaf litter for trapping sediment, and soil health. A combination of machine and
manual planting techniques were used depending on site conditions. Older trees were planted by
a combination of hand and machine.
Boseman Buffer Mitigation Site Annual Monitoring Report MY1
DMS ID No. 100119 Page 4 December 2020
Species planted within the riparian areas included: overcup oak (Quercus laurifolia) 2,500 stems,
laurel oak (Quercus lyrata) 1,000 stems, water oak (Quercus nigra) 3,000 stems, willow oak
(Quercus phellos) 3,000 stems, green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) 500 stems, silky dogwood
(Cornus amomum) 1,000 stems, button bush (Cephalanthus occidentalis) 500 stems, and swamp
blackgum (Nyssa sylvatica var. biflora) 300 stems. Approximately 12,300 stems (825 stems/ac)
were planted within the riparian areas designated for restoration. Differences in stem density and
quantities occurred relative to the proposed planting list in the mitigation plan due to plant
availability at the time.
Temporary and permanent seed mix was installed in any disturbed soil areas following debris
removal and planted with native trees to secure sediment from entering surface waters.
Temporary and permanent seed mixtures planted included Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) and
Indiangrass (Sorgastrum nutans), switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), and big bluestem
(Andropogon gerardii), respectively.
In accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0295, a sufficient density of stems was planted to achieve
260 trees/ac at the end of a minimum five-year project monitoring period whereby no one tree
species planted was greater than 50% of the planted stems, and a minimum of four native
hardwood tree and native shrub species were planted. In total, eight species were selected and
planted in specific areas depending on soil type, landscape position, soil wetness, community type,
and reference forest stands nearby. Initial vegetation management post planting included specific
preemergent herbicide band application over planted trees for herbaceous competition that may
compete with planted stems, conducted by a North Carolina licensed applicator.
4.0 Annual Monitoring and Performance Criteria
The Mitigation Program Requirements for Protection and Maintenance of Riparian Buffers (15A
NCAC 02B .0295) and RFP 16-007711 set forth specific performance criteria for the successful
development and close-out of the Boseman Buffer Mitigation Site. Performance criteria
monitoring includes standardized vegetation plot establishment and annual monitoring for planted
stems including individual plot photo documentation, overall site photo documentation, biannual
visual assessments for project status and easement integrity including herbaceous and/or invasive
species competition, stem mortality, stand health, incidental damage from agricultural equipment,
and stem loss or damage from natural causes such as fire, disease, or animal predation. Figure 3
(Appendix 1) illustrates the location of project easement, permanent vegetation plots/photo points,
as well as overall site photo points.
4.1 Vegetation
Twelve permanent vegetation plots were established according to the most recent Carolina
Vegetation Survey (CVS) protocol within the restored buffer area. Representative vegetation
plots were established at a minimum density of 2% of the planted area. Specifically, vegetation
monitoring was obtained for all plots according to Level 1-2 protocols from the CVS-EEP
Protocol for Recording Vegetation V4.2 (2008) manual. Monitoring year one (MY1) vegetation
stem data is included in Appendix 5, Table 3. All vegetation plots meet criteria for stem densities
and overall site density is 533 stems/ac. Some plots showed stem diversity and distribution
disproportionate to the overall project stem diversity and distribution. In addition, two site wide
flooding events, mowing activities to control herbaceouse competition, as well as herbivores
Boseman Buffer Mitigation Site Annual Monitoring Report MY1
DMS ID No. 100119 Page 5 December 2020
above and below ground damaged some trees in the project area. Additional tree species (Qty:
4,200, n=3) will be planted during the upcoming dormant season to accommodate these
inconsistencies in stem diversity, distribution, and density observed and noted in plot data.
Planting additional stems will also ensure project success with anticipated predation and flooding
likely to occur again based on first year observations.
4.2 Photo Reference Stations
Individual plot photos taken at the southwest corner (origin) of each plot are included in this
annual monitoring report. Additional Site reference photos were taken at designated points along
the conservation easement boundary providing an overall view of the project success (Appendix
1: Figure 3). All photo points were located by survey and georeferenced for map production to
provide a consistent means for photo replication annually and in the event a plot or photo location
must be reestablished during the monitoirng period. Photo orientation (direction and bearing)
were recorded as well as approximate vertical position for consistency in photo logging.
4.3 Visual Assessments
Additional observations were made of site conditions and vegetation conditions outside of
monitoring plots. This biannual effort was made in order to appropriately monitor changing site
conditions and address any issues to ensure Site success and performance criteria are met after the
monitoring period. As dicussed supplemental planting will occur during the upcoming dormant
season to bring up tree stocking and diversity across the project area and ensure success in areas
damaged by flooding and predation. Overall tree vigor across the site is adequate for first year
survival and project success averaging 3.3 No other encroachments were identified during the
two site visits in June and September. Any future Site problems will be noted and discussed in
the annual reports and monitored biannually to ensure performance criteria are met following any
remedial action.
4.4 Annual Reporting Performance Criteria
All monitoring reports, including this annual report, will be compiled and submitted to DMS
annually in accordance with the Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Buffer Baseline and Annual
Monitoring Report Template Ver. 2.0 (May 2017). Annual monitoring will occur for a minum of
five years or until performance criteria are met.
4.5 Maintenance and Contingency Plans
Any Site observations identified through vegetation plots or visual assessments, whereby the
performance criteria is not met, will be noted and discussed in the annual reports and addressed
with a contingency plan as necessary. DMS/NCDWR will be notified, and if necessary,
collaborate with Eco Terra to develop a contingency plan with remedial action steps to correct the
performance criteria deficiency. Any contingency plan and remedial actions will occur within an
agreed timeframe and monitoring adjusted accordingly, if necessary. Site problem areas will be
monitored biannually to ensure performance criteria are met following any remedial action.
As noted above, supplemental planting will occur in the upcoming dormant season to remediate
stem density and diversity consistencies as well as damage attributed to mowing and herbivores.
Upon completion of this remedial action, DMS/NCDWR will be notified.
