Executive Summary
The Goodman Stream Restoration Site is located on Pruitt Road approximately 5 miles west of
Kinston in Lenoir County, North Carolina. It was constructed by Albemarle Restorations, LLC,
under contract with EEP to provide compensatory stream mitigation credits in the Neuse River
Basin. Construction activities in accordance with the approved restoration plan began February
11, 2009 and were completed on March 26, 2009. Tree and shrub planting on the site occurred
on March 27, 2009. An emergent wetland seed mixture was sown the same day. All planting
was done in accordance with the approved restoration plan
Eight water level monitoring gauges are installed in pairs at strategic positions throughout the
site to measure surface and subsurface water levels. Two additional gauges are installed in the
stream preservation area to act as reference gauges and to provide for a comparison of water
levels and flow in a naturally occurring riparian headwater system. A rain gauge is installed on
the site and checked against cooperator data from the Kinston area. Total rainfall deficit through
September, 2010 was 2.67 ", an amount that would have otherwise been much greater if not for a
storm event late in September that produced over 11" of rain.
Two separate flow events were video documented, one in January and another in September,
2010. The first event in January was a sustained event that produced consistent flow throughout
the project for a period of over five months. The second event, documented in September was
shorter in duration, the product of the heavy, week -long rainfall event late in the month. The
data from the water level monitoring gauges coincides with and confirms the flow of water
through the site.
Six vegetative monitoring plots are installed in the project area and permanently monumented.
The plots are situated in such a way as to provide vegetation survival data within the swamp run
and upslope from it. Each plot is a 10m X 10m square, as recommended by the CVS -EEP
protocol for recording vegetation sampling. The success criterion for the first year of monitoring
is 320 stems per acre and 4 of the six plots were successful in 2010.
Table ES -1 shows the levels of success attained by each of the vegetation plots.

2010 Monitoring Report - Year 2 of 5
I. Project Background
1.0 Proiect Obiectives
The goal of the Goodman Property Stream Mitigation Project was to restore a diverse riparian
headwater swamp run system typically found in the middle to upper reaches of first or zero order
tributary systems. The project is to serve as compensation for stream loss in the Neuse River
Basin. The restoration plan was developed and implemented to restore topography and
hydrology that more closely resembled that of similar undisturbed land. The original swamp run
had been channelized and straightened to improve drainage from the agricultural land
surrounding it. Restoration resulted in the development of a swamp run that followed a historical
and more natural path. Tree and shrub planting was designed to restore a wetland forest
ecosystem that is typically found in the immediate area characteristic of similar soils, topography
and hydrology.
The specific objective of the project was to restore a diverse riparian headwater swamp run
system to provide the following ecological benefits:
1) Water quality improvements, including nutrient, toxicant and sediment retention and
reduction, increasing dissolved oxygen levels, as well as reducing excessive algae
growth, and reducing surface water temperatures in receiving waters by providing
permanent shading in the form of a shrub /scrub and forested headwater wetland system.
2) Wildlife habitat enhancement by adding to the existing adjacent forested areas to create a
continuous travel corridor between habitat blocks and provide a wide range of habitat
areas (open water, emergent, shrub /scrub and forested) for amphibians, reptiles, birds,
insects and mammals.
3) Flood flow attenuation during storm events to help reduce sedimentation and erosion
downstream, and improve long term water quality within the Neuse River.
4) Passive outdoor recreation and educational opportunities for the landowner and the
surrounding community.
2.0 Proiect Structure, Restoration Tvve, and Approach
Table I lists the estimated linear feet of stream restored and preserved on the Goodman Property.
The mitigation plan provides for the restoration of 4,325 linear feet of swamp run and the
preservation of 3,205 linear feet of existing swamp run. Prior to restoration, the 20.6 acre
easement area was used entirely for agriculture production, primarily tobacco, corn, soybeans
and cotton. Construction activities, in accordance with the approved Restoration Plan, began
February 11, 2009 and were completed on March 27, 2009. A mix of native trees and shrubs
were planted on site on March 27, 2009 to restore habitat and create a species diverse swamp run
system. Additionally, an emergent wetland seed mixture was applied concurrent with the finish
grading to provide immediate habitat and water quality benefits. All planting and grading was
conducted in accordance with the approved restoration plan.

3.0 Location and Setting
The Goodman Stream Restoration Site is located on Pruitt Road a mile south of U. S. Rte. 70 and
approximately 5 miles west of Kinston in Lenoir County, North Carolina. The easement area is
situated in the middle of the Goodman property and replaces channelized pattern drainage that
previously ran through the property. This channelized drain connected naturally occurring
headwaters to Falling Creek. With the newly restored system, the headwaters flowing into the
project will be slowed providing erosion control and sediment retention. Once the vegetation
canopy becomes established, water quality and temperature will be protected for the entire length
of the drainage into Falling Creek. The project area is surrounded by agricultural land with very
few residential units.
Figure 1 is a location map for the project site. Directions to the site are as follows: from Kinston,
travel west on US Hwy 70 approximately 5 miles and turn left (south) on Pruitt Rd. Access to
the site is approximately 1 mile south of intersection on right. Access is closed by a padlocked
yellow metal pipe gate.

5.0 Monitoring Plan View
Eight water level monitoring gauges have been installed at key locations across the project
suspended in two -inch pvc pipe that is set approximately three feet vertically in the ground. The
gauges have been situated in pairs to assess the groundwater levels throughout the year and to
help substantiate evidence of water flowing through the restored swamp run. Two more gauges
are installed in the preservation area to serve as references to a naturally functioning swamp run
system. In addition, there is a rain gauge onsite to record precipitation.
Six permanent vegetation sampling plots are installed, each 10 meters square according to the
CVS -EEP protocol for vegetation sampling. The plots are situated in such a way as to provide
for tree and shrub sampling within the swamp run and upslope from it as well. These plots will
provide tree and shrub survival data across the site's varying elevations and soil conditions.
Vegetation monitoring is accomplished through annual surveys of the six permanent sampling
plots. For each site, the data recorded matches that required of the CVS -EEP Protocol for
Recording Vegetation, v 4.2, 2008, level 1 -2.
Figures 2 and 3 provide plan views of the site showing the location of all monitoring features
including gauges, sampling plots and the rain gauge.

II. Project Condition and Monitoring Results
1.0 Vegetation Assessment
The vegetation success criterion was developed in accordance with the CVS -EEP protocol. The
Goodman project was designed to function as a bottomland hardwood plant community. The
project was planted with a mixture of tree and shrub species that would resemble that of naturally
occurring swamp runs and adjacent riverine wetlands in the local area. The run and upper banks
were planted heavily to oaks with tupelo, cypress and other tree and shrub species in the mix.
The site was also seeded immediately after construction with an approved wetland seed mix.
The tree and shrub species mix was based on the vegetation found at the reference site and all
species are classified from FAC to OBL (Table V). The average survival rate for the project in
2010 was 371 stems per acre.

1.1 Vegetation Discussion
The survival rates on Plots 3 and 4 were slightly less than the year -three criterion of a minimum
of 320 stems per acre. Stocking levels on the other four plots well exceeded 320 stems per acre.
Both plots 3 and 4 suffer from extremely dense, very tall herbaceous competition, primarily dog
fennel (Eupatorium capillifolium) which created a tall dense, pernicious canopy over the young
trees. Trees on these plots were very difficult to locate while completing survival checks in
2010. Light supplemental planting will be done during the fall /winter of 2010 -2011 on the
portion of the project around Plots 3 and 4 to bring the stocking up to adequate levels (greater
than 320 stems per acre). Future survival will be closely monitored on these two plots and their
surrounding area to be sure stocking is adequate to reach the long -term success criteria.

2.0 Flow Assessment
Refer to Figures F1 through F5 for the following discussion of evidence of flow within the
swamp runs. These charts contain combined data for each of the four pairs of gauges set up in
the project site and the pair in the reference area. For each pair, one gauge is set in the stream
channel and the other is set upslope to capture water levels and runoff from higher elevations as
it drains downslope into the stream channel. Gauges 7 and 8 are the exception; due to soil
conditions at the time of installation, gauge 7 could not be set up in the channel and is located
approximately three feet outside the channel and approximately six inches higher in elevation
than the bottom of the stream channel.
Each of the four pairs of gauges in the project area indicate prolonged, continuous flow from
November, 2009 until April, 2010. This period of flow is supported by video documentation in
January and again in April. There are snapshots of flow at various points in the project included
in Appendix A that were derived from the videos taken during site visits. The videos are
included on the CD copy of this report and show good flow throughout the entire project in
January.
Other photos in Appendix A illustrate high water marks and vegetation matting during the winter
and spring of 2010. Site flooding near the confluence of the two branches (near Plot 5) extended
from the center of the run outward approximately 20 feet on both sides during the site inspection
in January, 2010.
There was a cumulative rainfall deficit of 9.15" through most of September, 2010. A coastal
storm late in the month dropped over eleven inches of rain over a five -day period which was
enough to produce flow which was video documented and included on the CD.
The area of the project around Plot 3 continues to be fed by runoff from the adjoining
agricultural field in at least two locations. Given the heavy herbaceous cover along the southern
branch, this portion of the project is providing a necessary buffer to any runoff from the field.
The Plan View in Appendix D gives some indication as to the areas where runoff from the field
enters the project.

2.1 Monitoring Plan View
Figure 4 in Appendix D provides an overview of the watershed success of the project. The
northern branch is directly connected to an existing, functioning swamp run upstream, but the
southern branch relies solely on rainfall and field drainage. Drainage from the field into the
southern branch has been noted in at least two different locations as shown on the Plan View.
The portion of the project around Plots 3 and 4 will receive supplemental planting to bring
stocking levels up to a minimum of 320 stems per acre.

3.0 Proiect Success Discussion
The second year of monitoring on the Goodman project saw a more normal rainfall pattern that
produced excellent flow for the first quarter of the year. Tree survival over most of the project is
adequate and tree growth is good. Overall, the project is functioning as designed and intended.
Listed below are the success indicators from the Mitigation Plan. Those shown in blue were
observed and video or photo documented in 2010.
• A natural line impressed on the bank
• Shelving
• Changes in soil characteristics
• Destruction of terrestrial vegetation
• Presence of litter and debris
• Wracking
• Vegetation matted down or absent
• Sediment sorting
• Leaf litter disturbed or washed away
• Scour
• Deposition
• Bed and bank formation
• Water staining
• Change in plant community
Goodman Property Stream Mitigation Project 16
Albemarle Restorations, LLC
2010 Monitoring - Year 2 of 5
High water marks on bank vegetation and matted vegetation were noted and photographed
during the spring after prolonged high water and extended flow in the winter and spring. Channel
and bank development are more pronounced at the end of the second year of monitoring. There
are small areas of shelf formation, scouring, minor sediment deposits and lateral channel
formation that are all indicators of successful stream development. Submerged aquatic
vegetation developed along some portions of the stream channel during the spring of 2010 while
water levels remained high enough to support it.
III. Methodology Section
Year 2 monitoring for the Goodman project occurred in 2010. Monitoring and vegetation
sampling procedures were established in the mitigation plan for this project and no deviations
were made.
