EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Prior to project implementation, the Howard Farm Property was farmed for soybean and cotton
production. The site consisted entirely of open agricultural fields with no existing riparian buffer
(i.e. trees and shrubs are absent within 200 ft of existing surface waters). Under contract with the
North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP), Land Management Group, Inc. (LMG)
implemented the restoration of 26.3 acres of riparian buffer habitat along Mussel Run (a tributary
of Contentnea Creek) and contiguous surface- waters (i.e. field ditches) in Greene County, NC.
The entire 26.3 -ac project area has been planted with characteristic tree and shrub species on an
average density of 900 stems /ac. Planting was completed in February 2006. Thirteen (13)
permanent 0.10 -ac monitoring plots (equivalent to 5% of the restoration area) were established
subsequent to planting. Annual monitoring will be conducted near the end of each growing
season for a period of five years beginning in October 2006. Vegetative planting will be deemed
successful if survivorship of plantings and volunteers of desirable species meets or exceeds a
target stem density of 320 stems /acre.
A total of 2,260 stems (planted and volunteer shrubs /trees) were observed within the thirteen
0.10 -acre plots during Year 4 monitoring. Of the total observed, 1,401 stems (total excluding red
maple and sweet gum) were counted toward the success criteria (corresponding to an average of
1,078 stems /acre). Given the average stem density observed, the site is progressing well toward
the targeted stem density.
. Monitoring reports are being submitted annually to the EEP (by January 1 of each year). These
reports include results of vegetative monitoring and photographic documentation of site
I onditions. Monitoring reports also identify any contingency measures that may need to be
employed to remedy any site deficiencies.
The following monitoring report summarizes the restoration.project and includes more specific
information related to project implementation, `as- built' conditions, and site progress through
Year 4.

I. PROJECT BACKGROUND
1. Location and Settint;
As approved by the EEP, LMG implemented the restoration of 26.3 acres of farmland located
adjacent to Mussel Run (a tributary of the Neuse River) and a series of contiguous surface waters
(i.e. field ditches). The project area is part of the "Howard Farm ", located approximately 2.5
miles northeast of Hookerton in Greene County, NC (refer to Figure 1). The project includes the
establishment of characteristic tree and shrub species adjacent to open field ditches on the east
and west side of Churchill Road (SR #1404) as well as Mussel Run (refer to Figure 2). The
property is situated within NEU -7 of the lower Neuse River Basin (USGS Cataloging Unit
03020203) and within sub -basin 03- 04 -07.
2. Mitigation Type and Objectives
The proposed restoration project is intended to provide suitable, high- quality riparian buffer
restoration as compensatory mitigation for riparian buffer impacts authorized through the EEP.
The objective of the project is to restore riparian buffer vegetation and diffuse flow conditions to
help reduce non -point source discharge of contaminants into adjacent water bodies. The primary
function of the riparian'buffer project detailed in this document is to restore the nitrogen (N)
removal capacity of those areas situated adjacent to surface waters. In addition, the project will
provide ancillary benefits to aquatic and wildlife habitat via enhanced niche habitat, microclimate
modification and shade, and increased food -web support.

II. PROJECT CONDITIONS
1. Pre - Construction Conditions
The 26.3 -acre riparian buffer restoration area represents a portion of a larger 145 -acre tract
( "Howard Farm ") formerly farmed for the production of soybean and cotton. Land use practices
(including herbicide, pesticide, and fertilizer application) served as potential contributors to
decreased water quality of adjacent surface waters (i.e. ditches and `blue -line' streams).
Application of nitrogen -rich fertilizer represented the most significant non -point source of
nitrogen within the immediate project area. Woody vegetation along ditches was either absent or
40 sparse (less than 100 stems per acre that are > 5 inches diameter at breast height). As a result,
nutrient -laden runoff was discharged from agricultural fields directly into surface waters with
little or no nutrient filtration/transformation.
2. Soils
The site consists predominantly of Johns sandy loam (refer to Figure 4) — a somewhat poorly
drained to moderately well drained soil occurring along stream terraces. Infiltration is moderate
and surface runoff is slow in these areas. The seasonal high water table occurs between 1.5 ft and
3.0 ft below the soil surface. The remaining portion of the buffer area consists of Lumbee sandy
loam — a poorly drained soil characteristic of broader flats of stream terraces. Lumbee soils
exhibit moderate infiltration with a seasonal high water table occurring at or near the soil surface.
3. Restoration Activities
The restoration project included the planting of characteristic tree and shrub seedlings adjacent to
open ditches and blue -line streams on the 26.3 -ac restoration site (refer to Figure 3). No federal
or state permits were necessary to conduct the restoration activities. The riparian buffer was
planted with various species including river birch (Betula nigra), sycamore (Platanus
occidentalis), green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), water oak (Quercus nigra), willow oak
(Quercus phellos), and red bay (Persea borbonia). The outer 50 feet of the buffer area was
planted with characteristic shrub species including wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera), American
beautyberry (Callicarpa americana), elderberry (Sambucus canadensis), and sweet pepperbush
(Clethra alnifolia). All species selected for the restoration project naturally occur on the site
within undisturbed riparian buffer areas. These species are considered to be well suited for site -
specific conditions (including soil characteristics and moisture regimes). In addition, each of

these species is listed within NCDENR's "Guidelines for Riparian Buffer Restoration" as
appropriate species for use in riparian buffer restoration projects. Approximately 20,000 trees
and shrubs were -planted throughout the project footprint. Bare -root seedlings were planted at a
density of 600 trees per acre. Shrubs were planted at densities of 1,000 to 1,200 plants per acre.
On -site planting was completed in February 2006.
Refer to Table 2 for a list of species planted (with corresponding quantities) within the buffer
restoration area.
4. Adaptive Management
Infestation of common morning glory (Ipomoea purpurea) was prevalent during the early stages
of site development. Physical removal of the vines was conducted prior to Year 1 and Year 2
monitoring events. In addition to the removal activities a supplemental planting was conducted in
February 2007. A total of 12,000 river birch, green ash, and wax myrtle were planted in areas
that experienced reduced survivorship and/or suppressed growth. In addition, the herbicide
OustTM was applied in select areas of the tract to selectively target areas of morning glory
infestation.
LMG identified the continued prevalence of morning glory during site inspections conducted in
February 2008. As a result, an additional application of OustTM (at a rate of 1,500 liters per
hectare) was performed. This work was coordinated through, and conducted by a licensed
applicator. Physical removal of vines was also conducted during Year 3 and Year 4 of
monitoring. Though morning glory is still present within the buffer area, survivorship of planted
trees and shrubs remained high during Year 4 monitoring. It appears as though most plantings
now have a competitive height advantage over the morning glory vines, and as a result, no future
remedial actions are planned at this time.
III. METHODOLOGY & SUCCESS CRITERIA
Annual monitoring is being conducted near the end of each growing season for a period of five
years. Vegetative monitoring has included the establishment of thirteen (13) 0.10 -acre permanent
plots corresponding to a total of 1.3 acres (equivalent to 5% of the restoration area). The

locations of the monitoring plots are depicted in Appendix C. Vegetative planting will be deemed
successful if survivorship of plantings and volunteers of desirable species' meets or exceeds a
target stem density of 320 stems /acre.
Monitoring reports are being submitted annually to the EEP (by January 1 of each year). These
reports include results of vegetative monitoring and photographic documentation of site
conditions. Monitoring reports will also identify any contingency measures that may need to be
employed to remedy any site deficiencies. For instance, deer browse tubes and fencing may need
to be used if evidence of significant herbivory or deer browse is observed. In addition,
supplemental planting may be necessary in areas of reduced survivorship. Remedial actions are
not anticipated based on survivorship of planted and volunteer species at Year 4.
IV. MONITORING
A total of 2,260 stems (planted and volunteer shrubs /trees) were observed within the thirteen
0.10 -acre plots during the Year 4 monitoring event. Of the total observed, 1,401 stems (total
excluding red maple and sweet gum) were counted toward the success criteria (corresponding to
an average of 1,078 stems /acre). Of the species planted, wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera) and
American beautyberry (Callicarpa americana) were the most abundant shrubs observed within
the thirteen monitoring plots. The most abundant of the planted tree species were American
sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) and river birch (Betula nigra). In addition to the abundance,
exceptional growth rates have also been observed for these species with a majority of the
individuals exceeding twelve (12) feet in height. Please refer to Appendix A for site photographs
of Year 4 conditions.
A total of 859 sweet gum and red maple saplings were observed throughout the thirteen plots. It
appears as thought the presence and growth of sweet gum and red maple is not adversely
affecting the growth of target species. This is substantiated through a comparison of the stem
heights within each of the plots. For example, the sweet gum and red maple seedlings observed
in Plot #7 range in height from 3' to 10' while the planted species range from 3' to 16'. This
increase in height provides a competitive advantage for the planted species that will likely result
'Desirable species are considered as noninvasive species characteristic of riparian habitats of the Coastal Plain.

in an overall decline in densities of sweet gum and red maple. The numerical abundance of these
species is a reflection of their opportunistic strategy in early successional stages of forest
development. Given the competitive height advantage of planted species, it appears as though
sweet gum and red maple will not adversely affect the survivorship of planted species.
Refer to Table 3 for a summary ofresults related to species abundance and target stem densities.
In addition, individual plot data sheets are provided in Appendix B.
V. CONCLUSION
LMG has completed the fourth year monitoring for the 26.3 acres of riparian buffer restoration
located in NEU -7 of the lower Neuse Basin. Stem densities within all thirteen plots well exceed
the 320 stems /acre target density for restored buffer habitats. The total observed density (1,078
stems /acre) indicates that the site is progressing well toward the target maturity density. The
presence of morning glory will be monitored during the early growing season for the remaining
scheduled monitoring event. However, it is anticipated that the planted seedlings have achieved a
sufficient height advantage and that growth and success of these trees and shrubs will not be
inhibited by the presence of any morning glory vines.
Reversion of agricultural land to wooded riparian buffer will decrease source nutrient loading and
concurrently increase nutrient removal capacity. In addition, the project will provide ancillary
benefits to aquatic and wildlife habitat via enhanced niche habitat, microclimate modification and
shade, and increased food -web support. By doing so, the proposed project will help to effectively
mitigate for authorized loss of riparian buffers within the Neuse Basin.
