Monitoring Year 4 of 5 (2010) EEP Project Number 628 November 2010 Wayne County, North Carolina Table of Contents 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Norwood Gainey Riparian Nutrient Offset Buffer Restoration Site (Site) is located within the United States Geological Survey Hydrologic Unit 03020202 (North Carolina Division of Water Quality subbasin 03- 04 -05) of the Neuse River Basin. The Site includes 58.4 acres located approximately 5 miles south of Goldsboro, North Carolina in Wayne County. A total of 21.6 acres of riparian buffer restoration for nutrient offset credits (13,660 linear feet of agricultural ditch with a 200 -foot buffer to each side) and 5.4 acres of wetland enhancement are located within the Site. The Site is currently managed by the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program. This report (compiled based on EEP's Revised Table of Contents for 2009 Monitoring Report Submissions Version 1.2.1 dated 6/l/09) summarizes data for year 4 (2010) monitoring. The primary goals and objectives of the project included the following. I. Restore forested riparian buffers adjacent to Site agricultural ditches that convey surface runoff toward Bouge Swamp and ultimately into the Neuse River. 2. Restore ecological functions within the Site to improve water quality, reduce the amount of sediment and pollutants entering the system, and provide landscape continuity. 3. Establish native wetland trees and shrubs within existing jurisdictional wetlands thereby enhancing wetland function, vegetative structure, and wildlife habitat. 4. Provide a variety of habitats from open water to uplands to greatly increase future habitat and food sources for wildlife. In late 2009 buffer areas greater than 50 feet from agricultural ditches were planted. Eight new plots were established within these areas and were monitored during year 4 (2010) monitoring. In addition, three vegetation plots within wetland enhancement areas were measured for the second time during year 4 (2010) monitoring. An average density of 320 stems per acre of Character Tree Species must be surviving after five monitoring years in accordance with North Carolina Division of Water Quality Administrative Code 15A NCAC 0213.0242 (Neuse River Basin, Mitigation Program for Protection and Maintenance of Existing Riparian Buffers) (NCDWQ 2007). Stem counts will be based on an average of the evaluated vegetation plots. Based on the number of stems counted in August 2010, average stem densities were measured as 405 planted stems per acre for the 8 vegetation plots within 0 -50 feet of waterways, 268 planted stems per acre for the 8 vegetation plots greater than 50 feet from waterways, and 229 planted stems per acre within wetland enhancement areas. The dominant species identified at the Site were planted stems of river birch (Betula nigra), persimmon (Diospyros virginiana), black walnut (Juglans nigra), and sycamore (Platanus occidentalis); and natural recruits of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), red maple (Acer rubrum), and sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua). Only nine of the 19 individual vegetation plots met success criteria when counting planted stems alone; however, when adding naturally recruited stems, primarily loblolly pine establishing from an adjacent seed source, all individual plots met success criteria with the exception of Plot 46. Plot 46 is located in the buffer area greater than 50 feet from waterways. Death of planted stems within wetland enhancement areas has occurred as the result of excessive inundation due to beaver. Beaver management is now occurring on the Site and will continue as necessary. Within wetland enhancement areas, natural recruits of loblolly pine, red maple, and sweetgum have established during the drier summer months during the 2010 monitoring period. In addition, within areas greater than 50 feet from waterways planted ball and burlap trees appear to be in poor health and many of the planted trees died over the summer as the result of dry conditions. These issues should be monitored closely in subsequent monitoring years. Norwood Gainey (final) Axiom Environmental, Inc. Monitoring Year 4 of 5 (20 10) EEP Project Number 628 November 2010 Wayne County. North Carolina page 1 In accordance with federal guidelines for wetland mitigation, success criteria for wetland groundwater hydrology at the Site require inundation or saturation within 12 inches of the ground surface for a consecutive period of 12.5 percent of the growing season or approximately 30 consecutive days (the `_ growing season in Wayne County begins March 17 .r,47- V, 1. « te I and ends November 14 [243 days]). Groundwater _ hydrology occurred within 12 inches of the soil Water level at ` -� surface for greater than 12.5 percent of the growing the location of_ % -_ season in year 4 (2010) monitoring. Gauge 2 was Gauge 2 on`t�3.:`.a�,� broken prior to the start of the year 4 (2010) growing February Y'" season and was replaced on July 12, 2010. During the 2010. g of the in be inn g season conditions were too r�'°� • g growing wet to properly install the gauge due to the sandy soils; therefore, manual readings were taken monthly to document water level trends until the water dropped far enough beneath the soil surface that the gauge could be reinstalled. In summary, the Site is stable, and vegetation and groundwater hydrology were successful for the year 4 (20 10) growing season. Summary information and data related to the occurrence of items such as beaver or encroachment and statistics related to performance of various project and monitoring elements can be found in tables and figures within this report's appendices. Narrative background and supporting information formerly found in these reports can be found in the mitigation and restoration plan documents available on EEPs website. All raw data supporting the tables and figures in the appendices is available from EEP upon request. 2.0 METHODOLOGY 2.1 Vegetation Assessment Following planting 45 vegetation plots (18 plots within riparian buffer restoration areas 0 -50 feet from the waterways, 7 plots within the wetland enhancement area, and 20 within herbaceous riparian buffer areas greater than 50 feet from the waterways) were established within the Site as depicted on Figure 2 (Current Conditions Plan View) in Appendix A. The plots are 10 meters square and are located randomly within the Site. All 45 plots were monitored in year 1 (2007); no vegetation monitoring occurred in year 2 (2008). In year 3 (2009) 8 plots within riparian restoration areas 0 -50 feet from the waterways were monitored and in late 2009 areas greater than 50 feet from ditches were planted and 8 new plots were established in these areas. In year 4 (2010) 8 plots within riparian restoration areas 0 -50 feet from the waterways, 3 plots within the wetland enhancement area, and 8 within riparian buffer areas greater than 50 feet from the waterways were monitored in late August 2010 using the CVS -EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation, Version 4.0 (Lee et al. 2006) ( http: / /cvs.bio.unc.edu /methods.litm); results are included in Appendix C. The taxonomic standard for vegetation used for this document was Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, Georgia, and Surrounding Areas (Weakley 2007). 2.2 Wetland Assessment Two groundwater monitoring gauges were maintained for the year 4 (2010) growing season. The graphs of groundwater hydrology and precipitation are included in Appendix D. Norwood Gainey (final) Axiom Environmental, Inc.

Welland Hydrology Criteria Attainment Summary Norwood Gainey Riparian Buffer Restoration Site (EEP Project Number 628) * Gauge 2 was broken prior to the start of the year 3 (2009) growing season and no data could be retrieved; however, based on field observations and the tendency for Gauge 2 to be wetter than Gauge 1 this gauge should be considered successful. This gauge was inundated for the majority of the growing season. The gauge will be replaced prior to the year 4 (2010) monitoring season. ** Gauge 2 was located in an inundated area and it was impossible to reinstall the gauge until water levels dropped below the soil surface. Therefore, manual water level readings were taken monthly until the gauge could be installed on July 12, 2010. Norwood Gainey (final) Axiom Environmental, Inc.
