PCN Supplement
Little Dismal Restoration Project Sandhills Gameland
3d Little Dismal Pond was historically drained through a large ditch that effectively shortened the
hydroperiod enough to allow the establishment and subsequent maturation of a mixed pine /hardwood
forest Approximately 11 years ago the ditch was plugged in order to restore the original hydroperiod
The subsequent re flooding of the wetland resulted in the mortality of the overstory trees The resulting
condition is a wetland filled with a large amount of rotting woody debris that is currently inhibiting the
growth of desirable herbaceous plants and lowering the pH sufficient to inhibit the growth of
amphibian eggs and larvae
3e The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission will attempt to restore the wetland by removing
the ditch plug to drain the wetland sufficient that mechanical equipment can be used to push and pile
accumulations of woody debris into manageable burn piles These piles will allow for a more thorough
drying of these fuels and therefore more complete consumption during burning Some portion of the
resulting piles of ash may be removed from the wetland if needed in this case ash will be incorporated
into sods that are currently being planted in crops for the benefit of wildlife game species All soils
removed from the ditch will be secured on high ground with the aid of erosion control fencing
Following restoration the ditch plug will be replaced in order to restore the original hydroperiod
The timeline for management and completion of the project is greatly dependent on weather both in
regards to rainfall as well as burning conditions The desired timeline is as follows Summer 2012
remove ditch plug Late summer fall winter 2012 mechanical treatment Summer 2013 prescribed fire
of surrounding uplands and wetland basin including burn piles Fall 2013 replace ditch plug
