The total planted acreage was approximately 15.2 acres,and the permanent conservation easement is 19.6 acres. The UT to Mill Swamp Restoration Project(Site) is located in Onslow County,approximately three miles northwest of the Town of Richlands. The Site is located in the NC Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) sub-basin 03-05-02 and the NCDEQ Division of Mitigation Services (NCDMS) Targeted Local Watershed (TLW) 03030001-010020 of the White Oak River Basin. The project involved the restoration and enhancement of a Coastal Plain Headwater Small Stream Swamp system(Schafale and Weakley 1990)from impairments within the project area due to past agricultural conversion,cattle grazing, and draining of floodplain wetlands by ditching activities. The project goals directly addressed stressors identified in the White Oak River Basin Restoration Priorities or RBRP (NCDMS 2010) such as degraded riparian conditions, channel modification, and excess sediment and nutrient inputs. The primary restoration goals,as outlined in the approved mitigation plan,are described below: • Create geomorphically stable conditions along the unnamed tributaries across the Site, • Implement agricultural Best Management Practices (BMPs) to reduce nonpoint source inputs to receiving waters, • Protect and improve water quality by reducing bank erosion,nutrient and sediment inputs, • Restore stream and wetland hydrology by connecting historic flow paths and promoting natural flood processes, and • Restore and protect riparian buffer functions and corridor habitat in perpetuity by establishing a permanent conservation easement. To accomplish these goals,the following objectives were identified: • Restore existing incised, eroding, and channelized streams by providing access to their historic floodplains, • Prevent cattle from accessing the riparian buffer,reducing excessive bank erosion, • Increase aquatic habitat value by providing more bedform diversity, creating natural scour pools and reducing sediment from accelerated bank erosion, • Plant native species riparian buffer vegetation along stream bank and floodplain areas,protected by a permanent conservation easement, to increase stormwater runoff filtering capacity, improve bank stability, and shade the stream to decrease water temperature, • Improve aquatic and terrestrial habitat through improved substrate and in-stream cover, addition of woody debris, and reduction of water temperature, and • Control invasive species vegetation within the project area and if necessary,continue treatments during the monitoring period. MICHAEL BAKER ENGINEERING,INC. 1 UT TO MILL SWAMP RESTORATION PROJECT,NCDMS PROJECT NUMBER-95019 MONITORING YEAR 7 OF 7(2020) The project as-built condition closely mimics that proposed by the design. Differences are outlined below: • The Stream and Wetland Mitigation Plan(Mitigation Plan)specified the planting of riparian live stakes during construction; however, due to construction being completed during the growing season in May 2013 no live stakes were installed. During construction, it was determined that live stakes would be installed during the dormant season. It is noted that as of March 27, 2014, approximately 300 live stakes were installed along the stream banks in the restored single thread channel of the UT 1 c area. • Permanent fencing along Reach UT3 was originally proposed 50 feet from both of the streambanks outside of the conservation easement; however, the landowner decided to use the northern pasture for hay production only, so fencing was installed only on the southern side of the reach to exclude cattle. Special Notes: In consideration of this report,the following timeline should be noted: Completion of construction—5/31/13 Completion of installation of tree and shrub bare roots—6/13/13 Year 1 (2013)vegetation monitoring— 10/16/13 Live stake installation- 3/27/14 Year 1 (2013) supplemental vegetation monitoring—5/18/14 Supplemental Year 1 (5/18/14) vegetation monitoring was conducted in order to provide additional mortality data. This additional monitoring effort was done since the time that had elapsed between the installation of the tree and shrub bare roots (6/13/13) and Year 1 vegetation monitoring (10/16/13) was only 125 days of the growing season(March 18'through November 16th). Trees and shrubs grew for an additional 61 days of growing season from 3/18/14 through 5/18/14 in early 2014 and were supplementally monitored. A total of 186 days of growing season had elapsed since the trees were planted and the supplemental Year 1 vegetation monitoring was conducted. An additional 181 days within the growing season (5/19/14 through 11/16/14) had elapsed prior to Year 2 (2014) vegetation monitoring, providing the required minimum of 180 days of growing season growth as stated in the approved Mitigation Plan. As such,Baker considered the data collected on 12/19/14 to be Year 2 data and the data collected on 11/13/15 to be Year 3 data. However, the US Army Corps of Engineers has declined to release the credits generated from Year 2 (2014) citing too short of a period between plant installation and monitoring. As such, the 2015 monitoring report was considered Year 2. All references to Year 2 henceforth will indicate monitoring activities conducted during 2015. Data collected during 2014 that was previously considered monitoring Year 2 will be labeled as Year 2*. Year 2* (2014)vegetation monitoring— 12/19/14 Year 2 (2015)vegetation monitoring— 11/13/15 Year 3 (2016)vegetation monitoring—November,2016 Supplemental 3-foot bare roots installed in the area around Vegetation Plot 3 only—March 20, 2017 Year 4 (2017) vegetation assessment was conducted in October of 2017, but no formal monitoring plot data is required to be collected as part of Year 4 monitoring effort. Year 5 (2018)vegetation monitoring— 10/30/18 MICHAEL BAKER ENGINEERING,INC. 2 UT TO MILL SWAMP RESTORATION PROJECT,NCDMS PROJECT NUMBER-95019 MONITORING YEAR 7 OF 7(2020) Year 6(2019)vegetation assessment was conducted in December of 2019,but no formal monitoring plot data is required to be collected as part of Year 6 monitoring effort. Year 7 (2020)vegetation monitoring— 12/8/20 The Year 7 monitoring survey data of the eight permanent cross-sections indicate that the Site is geomorphically stable and performing at 100 percent for the all parameters evaluated. The data collected are within the lateral/vertical stability and in-stream structure performance categories. Visual assessment of the project reaches indicate that all channel, banks, and structures appear functioning and stable. There are no Stream Problem Areas (SPA)to report. During Year 7 monitoring,the planted acreage performance categories were functioning at 100 percent with no bare areas to report,no current low stem density areas, and no areas of poor growth rates. The average density of total planted stems, based on the data collected from the six monitoring plots in December 2020 was 459 stems/acre. Thus,the Year 7 vegetation data demonstrates that the Site has met the minimum success interim criteria of 210 stems/acre by the end of Year 7. Two areas of invasive Chinese privet(Ligustrum sinense)totaling 0.96 acres that had previously been identified as a Vegetation Problem Area (VPA) in the Year 6 report were treated in September of 2020. However, additional resprouts were again observed and documented during Year 7 monitoring. Scattered privet resprouts totaling 0.87 acres were observed in two areas along the left and right floodplain of the middle and lower sections of Reach UT l c. These invasives are identified as a Vegetation Problem Area(VPA)and will be treated in the spring of 2021, prior to Site closeout evaluations. These resprout areas overlap significantly with the previously treated areas. The CCPV found in Appendix B shows the locations of each of these areas. During the Site inspection on 12/8/20, two beaver dams were discovered in the upper and middle portions of UT 1 c. They were apparently established in the fall of this year as they were not present during the previous site visit in late August. The dams will be removed in the winter or spring of 2021 prior to Site closeout evaluations. During Year 7 monitoring, groundwater monitoring demonstrated that twelve of the fifteen groundwater monitoring wells located along Reach UTIc met the wetland success criteria as stated in the Site Mitigation Plan. The gauges that met success criteria demonstrated consecutive hydroperiods of 12% or greater,ranging from 14.3 to 100% of the growing season (see Figure 4 and Table 12 in Appendix E). The three wells that failed are located in outer portion of the left floodplain of Reach UT 1 c and have only passed once in previous monitoring years, while three additional wells once located in this general outer portion of the floodplain had also consistently failed(they have since been relocated with IRT permission). As such,at the recommendation of NCDMS staff during Year 6 review, a closer inspection was made of the wetland boundary in the left floodplain of UTlc to redelineate and confirm a new adjusted boundary. The results were compiled into a memorandum,which is included in Appendix E. Year 7 flow monitoring on Reach UTIb demonstrated that flow gauge MSFL1 (located on upper UTIb) met the stated success criteria of 30 days or more of consecutive flow through upper UT lb with 133 days of consecutive flow and 296 days of total cumulative flow. The gauge demonstrated similar patterns relative to rainfall events for the Site. Flow data collected during Year 7 monitoring are located in Appendix E. The Site was also found to have had at least one above-bankfull event based on the crest gauge monitoring conducted during Year 7. A reading of 1.20 feet was measured on 12/8/20 from a 4.9 inch storm on 11/12/20. This overbank event is also corroborated by the flow gauge readings. The complete project crest gauge data are presented in Appendix E and gauge photographs are presented in Appendix B. As bankfull events have now been documented in each year of monitoring,the project has met the bankfull standard required for credit release. MICHAEL BAKER ENGINEERING,INC. 3 UT TO MILL SWAMP RESTORATION PROJECT,NCDMS PROJECT NUMBER-95019 MONITORING YEAR 7 OF 7(2020) During the field visit with State Property Office (SPO) and NCDMS Property Protection staff on 11/5/20, an area of conservation easement encroachment was discovered at the northwest corner of the lower easement parcel. An easement marker was knocked down at some unknown point in the past and mowing has occurred along a triangular sliver(approximately 0.04 acres in size) at this corner. The landowner was made aware of the issue and 3 additional posts have been installed to further identify this area. The posts will be connected with poly-tape this winter to ensure that a clear demarcation of the easement boundary is established,and several trees will be planted within the area as well. Summary information/data related to the Site and statistics related to performance of various project and monitoring elements can be found in the tables and figures in the report Appendices. Narrative background and supporting information formerly found in these reports can be found in the Baseline Monitoring Report and in the Mitigation Plan available on the North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services (NCDMS) website. All raw data supporting the tables and figures in the appendices is available from NCDMS upon request. 2.0 METHODOLOGY The seven-year monitoring plan for the Site includes criteria to evaluate the success of the stream,wetland,and vegetation components of the project. The methodology and report template used to evaluate these components adheres to the NCDMS Monitoring Requirements and Performance Standards for Stream and/or Wetland Mitigation guidance document dated November 7, 2011 (NCDMS 2011), which will continue to serve as the template for any subsequent monitoring years. The specific locations of monitoring features: vegetation plots, permanent cross-sections, monitoring wells, flow gauges, and the crest gauge, are shown on the CCPV sheets found in Appendix B. The Year 7 vegetation plot data,final monitoring gauge data, and all visual site assessment data were collected in December 2020,the cross-section survey data were collected in September 2020. 2.1 Stream Assessment—Reach UTla & UT1b The UT la and UT lb mitigation approach involved the restoration of historic flow patterns and flooding functions in a multi-thread headwater stream system. Monitoring efforts focus on visual observations to document stability, the use of water level monitoring gauges to document both groundwater and flooding functions. 2.1.1 Hydrology Two automated groundwater well gauges(pressure transducers)are installed along well transects,with a total of four well transects installed in the UT 1 a and UT1b areas. The automated loggers are programmed to collect data at 6-hour intervals to record groundwater levels in UT 1 a and UT lb areas. Graphs of the groundwater data collected for these gauges during Year 7 monitoring are located in Appendix E. Additionally, two in-stream flow gauges (pressure transducers) were installed to document the occurrence of extended periods of shallow surface ponding, indicative of flow. The gauges document flooding connectivity between the restored UTla and UT lb reaches,with a stated success criteria of at least 30 consecutive days of flow under normal climatic conditions. Flow gauge MSFL2 (on lower UT lb) permanently failed during the winter of 2017/2018 and was not replaced as it had already met the required project success criteria in each previous monitoring year. Flow gauge data is presented in Appendix E. MICHAEL BAKER ENGINEERING,INC. 4 UT TO MILL SWAMP RESTORATION PROJECT,NCDMS PROJECT NUMBER-95019 MONITORING YEAR 7 OF 7(2020) 2.1.2 Photographic Documentation The headwater stream reaches were photographed longitudinally beginning at the downstream portion of the Site and moving towards the upstream end of the Site. Photographs were taken looking upstream at delineated locations throughout the restored stream valley. The photograph points were established close enough together to provide an overall view of the reach lengths and valley crenulations. The angle of the photo depends on what angle provides the best view and was noted and continued in future photos. Site photographs for UT 1 a and UT lb were taken at established photo-point stations and can be found in Appendix B. 2.2 Stream Assessment—Reach UT1c The UTlc mitigation approach involved the restoration of historic flow patterns and flooding functions in a single-thread headwater stream system. Monitoring efforts focus on visual observations,the use of groundwater level monitoring gauges, a crest gauge to document bankfull flooding events, and established stream cross- sections to monitor channel stability. Stream survey data is collected to a minimum of Class C Vertical and Class A Horizontal Accuracy using Leica TS06 Total Station and was georeferenced to the NAD83 State Plane Coordinate System, FIPS3200 in US Survey Feet, which was derived from the As-built Survey. This survey system collects point data with an accuracy of less than one tenth of a foot. 2.2.1 Morphologic Parameters and Channel Stability A longitudinal profile was surveyed for the entire length of channel immediately after construction to document as-built baseline monitoring conditions (Year 0) only. The survey was tied to a permanent benchmark and measurements included thalweg,water surface,bankfull,and top of low bank. Each of these measurements was taken at the head of each feature (e.g.,riffle,pool) and at the maximum pool depth. Yearly longitudinal profiles will not be conducted during subsequent monitoring years unless channel instability has been documented or remedial actions/repairs are required by the USACE or NCDMS. Survey data from the eight permanent project cross-sections were collected and classified using the Rosgen Stream Classification System, and all monitored cross-sections fall within the quantitative parameters defined for channels of the design stream type (Rosgen 1994). The Year 7 monitoring survey data for the cross-sections indicates that the Site is geomorphically stable and performing at 100 percent for all the parameters evaluated. The data collected are within the lateral/vertical stability and in-stream structure performance categories. Morphological survey data are presented in Appendix D. Please note,as per NCDMS/IRT request the bank height ratios for MY7 have been calculated using the as-built bankfull area to determine bankfull elevation and the max depth based on the current-year channel profile. All other values were calculated using the as-built bankfull elevation, as was done for in earlier monitoring reports. 2.2.2 Hydrology To monitor on-site bankfull events,one cork crest gauge was installed on the floodplain at the bankfull elevation along the left top of bank on UTIc approximately at Station 45+50. Crest gauge reading data are presented in Appendix E and gauge photographs are presented in Appendix B. MICHAEL BAKER ENGINEERING,INC. 5 UT TO MILL SWAMP RESTORATION PROJECT,NCDMS PROJECT NUMBER-95019 MONITORING YEAR 7 OF 7(2020) 2.2.3 Photographic Documentation Representative project photographs for Reach UTIc were taken at the previously established photo- point stations located along the enhanced and restored stream sections of UTIc and are presented in Appendix B. Additionally,reference photograph transects were taken at each permanent cross-section during the time of survey. The survey tape was centered in the photographs of the bank. The water line was located in the lower edge of the frame, and as much of the bank as possible is included in each photograph. 2.2.4 Visual Stream Morphological Stability Assessment The visual stream morphological stability assessment involves the qualitative evaluation of lateral and vertical channel stability, and the integrity and overall performance of in-stream structures throughout all project reaches as a whole. Habitat parameters and pool depth maintenance are also evaluated. During Year 7 monitoring, the entire project reach was walked, noting geomorphic conditions of the stream bed profile (riffle/pool facets); both stream banks, and engineered in-stream structures. All stream reaches appear stable and functioning. All stream beds are vertically stable, the pools are maintaining depth,stream banks are stable and vegetating,and in-stream structures are physically intact and performing as designed. No Stream Problem Areas (SPAs) were documented during Year 7 monitoring. A more detailed summary of the methodology and results for the visual stream stability assessment can be found in Appendix B,which includes supporting data tables. 2.3 Wetland Assessment Following construction, ten automated groundwater monitoring wells were installed in the UT 1 c wetland restoration area following USACE protocols (USACE 2005). The gauges themselves are all In-Situ brand Rugged Troll 100 data loggers. An additional six monitoring wells were installed in the spring of 2016 in the left floodplain of UT lc for a more detailed evaluation there. During an IRT site visit on 5/1/18,it was suggested that two of the wells(MSAW3 and MSAW7)originally located on,or just outside, the wetland boundary line be relocated to help confirm restored wetland areas elsewhere in the floodplain. As such,in June 2018 those two wells were relocated to the suggested areas as shown in the CCPV found in Appendix B. All groundwater monitoring well data collected are presented in Appendix E. Total observed rainfall at the Albert Ellis airport (KOAJ) weather station located near Richlands,NC (Onslow County)for the previous 12-month period from December 2019 through November 2020 was 65.4 inches. The WETS table for Hoffman Forest station (NC4144) in Onslow County was used to calculate the 30-year average for that same 12-month period and documents an average of 56.5 inches of rainfall,with an historic 30%probable of 51.9 inches and an historic 70%probable of 60.5 inches. Thus,the site appears to have an exceeded the 70%probable by 4.9 inches. May was a particularly wet month for the site, which exceeded the monthly average by roughly 7 inches. The monthly rainfall results are shown in Figure 6 found in Appendix E. 2.4 Vegetation Assessment In order to determine if success criteria are achieved, vegetation-monitoring quadrants were installed and are monitored annually across the Site in accordance with the CVS-NCDMS Protocol for Recording Vegetation, Version 4.1 (Lee 2007)using the CVS-DMS Data Entry Tool v. 2.3.1 (CVS 2012). The vegetation monitoring plots are a minimum of two percent of the planted portion of the Site,with six plots established randomly within the planted UTla, UTIb and UTIc riparian buffer areas per Monitoring Levels 1 and 2. No monitoring quadrants were established within the undisturbed wooded areas of UTla and UTIb. The sizes of individual MICHAEL BAKER ENGINEERING,INC. 6 UT TO MILL SWAMP RESTORATION PROJECT,NCDMS PROJECT NUMBER-95019 MONITORING YEAR 7 OF 7(2020) quadrants are 100 square meters for woody tree species.

YEAR 7 MONITORING REPORT UT TO MILL SWAMP RESTORATION PROJECT(DMS PROJECT NO.95019) Michael Baker INTERNATIONAL Memorandem UT to Mill Swamp Restoration Project: Wetland Boundary Adjustment DMS Project ID. 95019 NC DEQ Contract#003992 USACE Action ID: SAW-2011-02193, DWR#20120916 White Oak River Basin:03030001-010020 Date Prepared: December 9, 2020 Subject: Wetland boundary adjustments for upcoming project closeout Recorded By: Scott King The UT to Mill Swamp Restoration Project proposed to restore a total of 6.616 acres of wetlands within the floodplains along both sides of Reach UT1c. However, over the 8 total years of groundwater well monitoring, the wells located along the outer half of the left floodplain have proven to have only intermittently met the success criteria. As such, at the suggestion of DMS staff, Baker conducted a field review of the wetlands along the left floodplain for the purpose of making appropriate adjustments the final credited wetland boundary. This field review was completed in January 2020 and used a wide range of data in making the adjustment including: soil borings, on-site vegetation, hydrologic field indicators (observed water table, standing water, staining, etc),groundwater well data, and GIS analysis. During the course of the assessment, a relatively clear visual boundary was apparent running roughly mid-way through the wetland. The inner portion of the boundary was characterized primarily by the presence of very shallow standing water and/or soil saturation to the surface (despite not having rained since getting<0.25" 5 days prior). It also contained notably wetter vegetation (more rushes, sedges, mosses, wet ferns, etc), had water-stained leaves commonly present, and had other scattered indicators of hydrology such as crayfish burrows and trim lines on tree trunks. The adjacent outer area still appeared to be a wetland (i.e. it still appeared to meet all three jurisdictional parameters) but was nevertheless visually distinct from the clearly wetter inner area. Of note, strong hydric soils were found throughout the restored wetland and so the boundary adjustment focused on the presence of the other factors discussed above. There were exceptions to the above assessment;two areas on the outer extreme of the original wetland boundary appear to be marginal wetlands, at best, and might even be considered upland area. A slight, though distinct, shift in topography occurs along their edge, coupled with a shift in vegetation. These areas total 0.303 acres and are called out on the enclosed Figure 1. The newly adjusted wetland boundary line was then pulled into GIS for further desktop analysis. Using LiDAR data, new topographic contours at 0.5 ft intervals were created for the site (Figures 2A and 2B). The new adjusted boundary appears to follow the new contours fairly well,though these slight changes were virtually indetectable in the field. The new boundary also appears to follow visual indicators (primarily standing water) as shown in the most recent aerial photograph from 2019. As previously noted,the historic well data in the more marginal areas that were removed in the boundary adjustment provide further evidence to support the new boundary. The wells located within the removed areas met the hydrologic criteria for jurisdiction in most years but did not meet the restoration success criteria of 12%. The new restored wetland boundary on the left floodplain totals 1.875 acres for a revised project wetland restoration total of 5.133 acres (for 5.133 Riparian Wetland credits).
