EXECUTIVE SUMMARY/ PROJECT ABSTRACT Ecological Engineering, LLP (Ecological Engineering) entered into contract with the NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) in October 2009 to conduct annual monitoring assessments at the Brock Site in Jones County, North Carolina. The following document depicts our findings and recommendation with regard to the Year 1 (2009) monitoring assessment. The Brock Stream Restoration Project was implemented using methodologies consistent with Coastal Plain headwater stream and buffer restoration. The stream, an unnamed tributary (UT) to Chinquapin Branch, was restored using a modified Priority 3 level of restoration. Specifically, the project involved the excavation of a floodplain along the entire 1,850 linear -foot stream reach. Excavation was limited to the right side of the channel facing downstream due to a cemetery and other constraints occurring along the left stream bank. Vegetation assessments were conducted using four predetermined vegetation plots and stream assessments were conducted using three predetermined cross sections. Vegetation Monitoring Year 1 vegetation monitoring assessments were performed using Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) Level II Assessment Protocols. Four plot locations were established and located during the as -built surveys. These plots will remain stationary throughout the anticipated five -year monitoring period. Each plot covers 100 square meters and is shaped in the form of a 10 -meter by 10 -meter square. The number of plots was determined by CVS software and individual locations were randomly selected based on the planned community types. All planted areas at the Brock Site are associated with either the generation of Stream Mitigation Unit (SMU), Buffer Mitigation Unit (BMU) or Nutrient Offset Buffer Restoration mitigation credit. Two of the three vegetation plots met the vegetation success criteria for the stream mitigation areas, which is based on a minimum survival of 320 stems per acre through Year 3 and 260 stems per acre at the end of Year 5. The buffer mitigation plot however, did not meet the success criteria for the buffer mitigation credit or Nutrient Offset Buffer Restoration. This criteria depicts a minimum of 320 native hardwood planted stems /acre at the end of Monitoring Year 5. Supplemental planting during the dormancy season between Year 1 and Year 2 was recommended and completed prior to the finalization of this report. Stream Restoration Monitoring Stream monitoring assessments were conducted using surveys and comparisons of three existing cross sections along the UT. No problems were noted aside from the fact that possible settling had occurred along all three cross sections. Bankfull and floodplain dimensions remained consistent and no erosion, entrenchment or incision was observed. A bankfull event was noted in November 2009. Based on the data collected and visual observations, the Brock Site is functioning similar to that of a Coastal Plain headwater stream system. Monitoring efforts will continue in 2010. Brock Site Monitoring Report (EEP Project No. 92333) Page 1 Final Version — Year 1 (2009) Prepared by Ecological Engineering, LLP SECTION II. PROJECT BACKGROUND A. Project Objectives According to EEP (2010), the project specific goals at the Brock Site needed to achieve desired ecological function include: • improvement of water quality by limiting bank erosion; • creation of 1,850 linear feet of stable stream channel (stream enhancement II); • restoration of 6.2 acres of riparian buffer along the project reach (4.23 acres associated with the 50 -foot buffer and 1.97 acres associated with the buffer beyond 50 feet); • improvement of aquatic and terrestrial habitat within the UT to Big Chinquapin Branch; and, • the 40' wide floodplain bench will dissipate the flow and maintain channel stability during moderate to high discharge events. The Project Site is located in Jones County and surrounded by areas of intense agricultural land use (Figure 1). As part of project implementation, the riparian buffer was reforested along the restored floodplain. This buffer restoration reconnects existing forested buffers along Chinquapin Branch and provides a wooded, although very narrow corridor for wildlife. The buffer also intercepts overland flow from a Swale draining the agricultural fields on the Brock property (EEP, 2006). In addition, EEP (2006) states that buffer reforestation at this site will reduce the input of nutrients from the fields to the waters downstream of the unnamed tributary to Big Chinquapin Branch, designated as nutrient sensitive waters by the NC Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ). A project asset map is depicted in Figure 2. The project will provide an ecological uplift for the entire basin. B. Project Structure, Restoration Type and Approach The watershed encompassing the project site is located in the eastern portion of the Coastal Plain Physiographic Province. Slopes are generally less than four percent. Elevations on the Brock Site range from approximately 39 to 52 feet above mean sea level. The soil survey for Jones County (Barnhill, 1981) indicates that the area is underlain by Goldsboro loamy sand, Grifton fine sandy loam, Lynchburg fine sandy loam, Muckalee loam, and Norfolk loamy sand (EEP, 2006). The watershed is a mixture of forested lands, agricultural row crops, two -lane roadways, farm roads, cemeteries, minor culverts, and a few single - family homes. Agricultural drainage features, including ditches and drain tiles, have been constructed and maintained on the Brock and neighboring properties. The Brock Site and adjacent properties are utilized primarily for agricultural purposes (EEP, 2006). According to EEP (2010), the project reach was designed using Stream Enhancement Level II methodologies. Pre - restoration existing shear stress and stream power were compared with the design in order to evaluate aggradation and degradation. The state of the channel before restoration was shown to be capable of handling the system's flow and sediment supply. Buffer reforestation was conducted along the restoration reaches extending beyond 50 feet on either side of the channel to the limits of the conservation easement. The planting plan was based on the hydrology of the site, the surrounding vegetative communities, and available supply of native species. The plan is modeled after Brock Site Monitoring Report (EEP Project No. 92333) Page 2 Final Version —Year 1 (2009) Prepared by Ecological Engineering, LLP mature, unaltered systems as outlined in the Natural Communities of North Carolina (Schafale and Weakley, 1990). The newly excavated floodplain was planted with a Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwood Forest community. Remaining areas outside the floodplain, excluding a small cemetery along the left bank, were planted as a Mesic Mixed Hardwood Forest Coastal Plain Subtype (EEP, 2010). The US Army Corps of Engineers and NC Division of Water Quality (USACE, 2005) released a draft mitigation guidance document related to stream restoration in the outer Coastal Plain of North Carolina in 2005. This guidance, developed in cooperation with NCDWQ, addresses mitigation credits for headwater streams. Many natural headwater streams and wetlands in the Coastal Plain were historically channelized for agricultural purposes. A number of these channels, including the UT associated with the Brock Site, are eroding and lack functionality and habitat. While many of these areas would benefit from restoration, traditional natural channel design with pattern and profile has been determined to be inappropriate for all coastal headwater streams. The driving factor behind this guidance is that it is difficult to discern the original condition of these first order channels: whether they were historically intermittent streams or headwater wetlands. Emphasis is now being placed on restoring habitat and floodplain functionality to these types of channels. The Brock Site is one of the pioneer EEP projects utilizing these updated guidelines. As a result, traditional yearly monitoring activities have been revised to better address this type of restoration. The health of a watershed is dependent on the quality of the headwater system(s), individual tributaries, and major channels. High quality tributaries with vegetated buffers filter contaminants, maintain moderate water temperatures, provide high quality aquatic and terrestrial habitat and regulate flows downstream. Big Chinquapin Branch is a major tributary to the Trent River, and both water bodies are nutrient sensitive (NCDWQ, 1998). In addition, Big Chinquapin Branch is managed by a Drainage District. Agricultural land use practices have narrowed or removed many natural, vegetated buffers along streams within the Trent River watershed as well as draining and converting nonriverine wet hardwood forests to cropland (EEP, 2006). According to EEP (2006), this restoration will enhance functional elements of the unnamed tributary. The Brock Restoration Plan outlines the restoration of the UT to Chinquapin Branch and the reforestation of the associated riparian buffer. This involves the creation of a stable channel, riverine floodplain, and associated riparian buffer. Priority 3 stream restoration was implemented on the unnamed tributary. This involved reconnecting the stream channel to its floodplain, allowing for periodic overbank flooding. To reduce construction costs and avoid disturbing the cemetery, a bankfull bench was excavated along east side of the existing channel. Water quality functions will be improved due to the creation of more storage for floodwaters and increased filtering of pollutants. Wetlands are expected to form within portions of the newly created bankfull bench, especially in the downstream section of the project where backwater from Chinquapin Branch will affect the stream. Barring water quality issues outside of the Brock Site, the restoration should improve aquatic species diversity and abundance in the stream channel. The restoration of riparian buffers along the restored stream channel will improve water quality. The reestablishment of the riparian buffers with hardwood species will also improve wildlife habitat on the property. These measures will improve the physical, chemical, and biological components of the unnamed tributary and the Brock property, as well as Big Chinquapin Branch and other downstream waters (EEP, 2006).

Location and Setting The Project Site is situated in Jones County, approximately 12 miles southeast of Kinston and eight miles west - northwest of Trenton along a UT to Chinquapin Branch. Its watershed is part of the Coastal Plain physiographic province, covering approximately 315 acres. According to EEP (2006), broad, flat interstream areas are the dominant topographic features of this province. Slopes are generally less than four percent and elevations at the Project Site range from approximately 39 to 52 feet above mean sea level (EEP, 2006). The following directions are provided for accessing the Brock Project Site: • From US 70 in Kinston, Proceed east on NC 58 approximately 12 miles. • Turn left onto gravel farm road approximately one -third mile after passing the intersection with the second loop of Pine Street on the left. • Proceed approximately 800 feet along gravel farm road. • Project Site is located to the immediate east (right side) of road.

PROJECT CONDITION AND MONITORING RESULTS As previously mentioned, monitoring activities at the Brock Site are tailored to assessing Coastal Plain headwater stream systems and their corresponding buffers. Ecological Engineering conducted vegetation assessments and stream assessments as part of yearly monitoring requirements. A. Vegetation Assessment Four 100 meter vegetation plots were monitored using Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) protocol Level II assessments. The remaining portions of the Project Site were visually assessed. 1. Stem Counts Stem counts were conducted within four strategically placed 10 meter by 10 meter plots. The plots were located based on a representative sample of the entire area of disturbance. They are scattered throughout the Project Site in order to cover the majority of the habitat variations. Vegetation Plots #1, #2 and #4 are related to stream mitigation credit and occur within the 50 -foot buffer of the channel. Vegetation Plot #3 is outside of the 50 -foot zone and falls under buffer mitigation credit. The success criteria for Vegetation Plots #1, #2 and #4 is a minimum of 320 stems per acre after three years and 260 stems per acre after five years. The success criteria associated with Vegetation Plot #3 is more restrictive, denoting a minimum planted, hardwood, stem requirement of 320 stems per acre after five years. According to initial planting counts, stem counts within each of the four plots averaged approximately 637 individuals per acre. Although this average appears close to the normal planting average at 680 stems per acre, the plots individually have significantly varying stem counts. Specifically, Vegetation Plot #1 (identified as 92333 -ALC -0001) exhibited 1,052 stems per acre at planting while Vegetation Plots #2 and #4 (identified as 92333 -ALC -002 and 92333 -ALC -004) exhibited counts ranging between 485 and 849 stems per acre, respectively. The planted stem count for Vegetation Plot #3 (identified as 92333 -ALC- 0003) was 161 stems per acre. Monitoring counts for each plot were conducted as part of Year 1 monitoring activities. In summary, first year mortality rates exceeded 50% in Vegetation Plots #2 and #4. These rates however, were low in Vegetation Plots #1 and #3 as compared with the baseline planting counts. Average stem counts based on all of the plots dropped to approximately 465 stems per acre. Vegetation Plots #1, #2 and #4 exhibited 1,133, 283 and 445 stems per acre, respectively. Vegetation Plot #3 exhibited 161 planted, hardwood stems per acre. Potential reasons for mortality were mainly unknown; however, it is very likely that drought played a major role. A complete breakdown of this information is provided in Appendix A along with photographs of each vegetation plot taken during the assessment. 2. Vegetative Problem Areas Vegetative problem areas are defined as those areas either lacking vegetation or containing exotic vegetation and are generally categorized within the following categories: Bare Bank, Bare Bench, Bare Floodplain or Invasive Population. Based on the monitoring site assessment, vegetation problem areas currently exist within the Project Site from a stem count basis. Visual assessments denoted areas void of Brock Site Monitoring Report (EEP Project No. 92333) Page 7 Final Version —Year 1 (2009) Prepared by Ecological Engineering, LLP planted trees across the majority of the site. Although stem counts exceeded recommended numbers established by the USACE and NCDWQ in Vegetation Plot #1, this plot should not be used as a comparison sample when assessing vegetation throughout the floodplain area. In addition, small isolated occurrences of Bare Bench as a result of continued inundation. The areas were too small to map during Year 1 monitoring assessments and will be reevaluated during Year 2 monitoring assessments. These areas are summarized in Appendix A - Table 7 and are depicted on the Figure 4. Supplemental planting to increase overall stem counts per acre was recommended and completed during the dormancy season between Year 1 and Year 2 monitoring assessments, prior to the finalization of this report. B. Stream Assessment 1. Procedural items Under normal circumstances, stream monitoring includes collection of morphometric criteria, specifically dimension and profile measurements. The recommended procedures follow protocol depicted within the USACE Draft Stream Mitigation Guidelines (2003) document. The Brock Site however, offers a method of mitigation that is not consistent with these guidelines. Therefore, monitoring protocols have been updated to better address the monitoring issues at the Project Site. Morphometric Criteria Three cross sections were established along the unnamed tributary. These cross sections are situated at i g Y• Stations 11 +00, 15 +00 and 23 +00. Appendix B depicts the data, which provides a year -by -year comparison. Exhibit Table V provides baseline data of cross section values with regard to bankfull and dimensions. According to the data collected, the average bankfull area along the stream reach is approximately 7.0 square feet. The bankfull elevation and area at Cross Section 3 remains consistent with the two cross sections situated upstream; however, its mean depth is approximately half of that as compared with the other sections. As a result, the "missing area" is accounted for in the adjacent floodplain along the right side of the channel. Based on visual observations, this area may have settled since construction implementation. In fact, settling has likely occurred along all three cross sections. This is evident based on the data presented in Appendix B, although visually there does not appear to be any compromises to the overall integrity of the channel nor its floodplain areas. This area exhibited standing water during the survey. It will be monitored throughout the following years to ensure that it remains stable. Exhibit Table V.

In order to meet hydrologic success criteria, a minimum of two events must occur during the five -year monitoring period. In addition, the events must occur in separate monitoring years. The gage is being visited approximately three times per year. Based on our findings, at least one bankfull event has occurred during 2009. Specific information regarding this event is depicted in Exhibit Table V. In addition, precipitation data from a nearby weather station is presented in Appendix C. Exhibit Table VI. Verification of Bankfull Events Brock Site (EEP Project No. 92333) Date of Data Date(s) of Calculated Measured High Photo # Collection Occurrence Method Bankfull Water (if available) Elevation Elevation 10/24/09 Unknown Crest gage 14 inches 35 inches Not available Bank Stability Assessments EEP requires that detailed Bank Erosion Hazard Index (BEHI) and Near Bank Shear Stress (NBS) be performed in Year 5, post- construction which correlates to Year 2013. The purpose is to describe the proportion of bank footage in the various hazard categories and to produce sediment export rates in tonnage per annum. Due to the nature of this type of mitigation, EEP will determine the extent of _ assessment required during Monitoring Year 5. 2. Stream Problem Areas No significant changes to the dimension were observed during Year 1 monitoring activities. A visual assessment of the channel was conducted throughout its length and no problem areas were noted. Although elevation changes were observed based on the data collected, the visual assessments did not locate any obvious areas of instability and /or erosion. 3. Fixed Station Photographs Photographic documentation was taken at 16 permanent photo stations, established during the as -built survey. The documentation ranges between views of the channel and buffer, to vegetation plots and cross sections. Appendix D provides an ongoing comparison of yearly photographs for each station. The actual locations of the photographs are shown in Figure 3.

Traditional natural channel design monitoring protocols with pattern and profile has been determined to be inappropriate for coastal headwater streams, such as the unnamed tributary at the Brock Site. Therefore, the geomorphic raw data included within this appendix is restricted only to cross section comparisons.
