EEP Recommendation and Conclusion
Five years of vegetation and hydrologic monitoring has been completed on the Modlin Project.
On most of the site, woody vegetation is well established, growing well, of varying heights and
densities .. Overall, vegetative success seems to have been achieved.
The site's hydrologic monitoring assessments have trended in a progression towards success for
most gauges since Year 3. One gauge, Gauge 1, has shown deficiency in meeting hydrologic
success until Year 5. However, increase towards hydrologic success has trended upward during
the monitoring period. In Year 4 of monitoring, Albemarle Restorations completed subsoil
tillage to break a subsurface hard pan allowing water to move more freely through the complete
soil profile. Since that time, Gauge 1 has strongly progressed toward success and achieved an
8.6% hydroperiod in Year 5. Albemarle Restorations believes that the area associated with this
gauge is approximately 1.5 acres.
Considering the site's progression towards success, EEP recommends that the site be considered
in the 2012 closeout round including a site visit by the IRT. EEP also recommends that
Albemarle Restorations complete hydrologic monitoring on Gauge 1 through the 2012 growing
season. If Gauge 1 has met or exceed hydrologic success established in the mitigation plan, the
site will be considered a success and ready for closure. If in fact Gauge 1 does not make
hydrologic success, Albemarle Restorations will delineate out an area believed to be associated
with Gauge 1 and remove it from the final asset determination. In either case, EEP will provide a
report to the IRT and request the site be considered closed and remaining assets realized.
Contingencies
Albemarle Restorations has agreed to monitor Gauge 1 and the two supplemental gauges: I and
1B on the site during the 2012 growing season to ensure that the area in question is in fact
meeting hydrologic success.
An area of non - hydric soil was identified in a visit preparing for closeout. Albemarle
Restorations employed a licensed soil scientist to complete a soil delineation within the site.
During this assessment 0.69 acres of soil were determined to be nonhydric. This area has been
removed from wetland assets. No further action is recommended at this time.

APPENDIX A — Watershed Planning
92227 — Modlin Site
The Modlin Site project is located in HUC 03010107150010, the Deep Run Swamp watershed
that was originally designated as a Targeted Local Watershed (TLW) in the 2001 Roanoke
RBRP. This HU was delisted in the 2009 Roanoke RBRP. Approximately 16% of the streams
in this watershed lacks adequate functioning riparian buffers. Over one - quarter of the land here
is agricultural including six permitted livestock operations. EEP has no additional projects in
this TLW.
According to the 2001 Roanoke RBRP "Deep Run Swamp has channelized headwaters leading
to severe habitat degradation in several miles of streams..." The project restored 40 acres of
riparian wetlands and contributes to the watershed goals of allowing additional infiltration of
runoff and removal on sediments and nutrients before draining into the swamp waters.

Mr. Scott Gates
Albemarle Restorations
P.O. Box 204
Gatesville, North Carolina 27938
Dear Mr. Gates:
This correspondence confirms our receipt of your preconstruction notification dated June 13,
2006, requesting Department of the Army (DA) authorization to implement the restoration plan
entitled, Modlin Property Riverine Wetland Mitigation, Martin County, .North Carolina. This
work will be undertaken on a 40 -acre site located off NCSR 1562 (Poplar Chapel Road) between
NCSR 1552 (Jerden Thicket Road) and NCSR 1561 (Elijah Lee Road), southeast the town of
Jamesville, adjacent to Cooper Swamp, in Martin County, North Carolina.
Accordingly, fur the purposes of the Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program, the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, lists nationwide
permits. Authorization, pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act and Section 404 of
the Clean Water Act, was provided for activities in waters of the United States associated with
the restoration of former waters, the enhancement of degraded tidal and non -tidal wetlands and
riparian areas, the creation of tidal and non -tidal wetlands and riparian areas and the restoration
and enhancement of non -tidal streams and non -tidal open water areas on private lands.
Your work is authorized by this nationwide permit provided it is accomplished in strict
accordance with the attached General Conditions and the following Special Conditions:
a. This authorization in no way obligates the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to recognize this
work as a stream or riparian wetland restoration project.
b. This authorization in no way obligates the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to accept this
project for use as compensatory mitigation prdposed by the North Carolina L•'cosystem
Enhancement Program (NCEEP), or any other person, program, or entity.
This verification is valid until the N W P is modified, reissued, or revoked. All of the existing
NWPs are scheduled to be modified, reissued, or revoked prior to March 18, 2007. It is
incumbent upon you to remain inlormed of changes to the NWPs, We will issue a public notice
Page 13 of 16

when the NWPs are reissued. Furthermore, if you commence or are under contract to commence
this activity before the date that the relevant nationwide permit is modified or revoked, you will
have twelve (12) months from the date of the modification or revocation of the NWP to complete
the activity under the present terms and conditions of this nationwide permit.
You should contact Ms. Cyndi Karoly, North Carolina Division of Water Quality, telephone
(919) 733 -9721, regarding Scction 401 Water Quality Certification. This nationwide permit does
not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain other required State or local approval.
Thank you for your time and cooperation. Questions or comments may be addressed to me at
the Washington Regulatory Field Office, telephone [phone], extension 26.
Sincerely,
