27606 �I Fj Pj Ci EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The As Built & Baseline Monitoring Report presented here includes the monitoring plan success criteria, methodology and baseline conditions for the Little River Wetland Enhancement Restoration site This southeastern Moore County, North Carolina site is located on the "Little River J Bar Ranch" property approximately 3 5 miles southeast of US Highway 1 along Little River The project is funded by the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) Initial project research and design began in 2002 and was undertaken by BLUE Land Water Infrastructure PA (BLWI) Multiple scope changes were made and the project went from having a major stream restoration component to primarily wetland enhancement and preservation The project transitioned from BLWI to Stantec Consulting Services Inc ( Stantec) in the spring of 2007 Portions of BLWI s initial data collection are presented here The site was burned in December 2010 planted in January 2011 and the baseline field monitoring was performed in February 2011 The project is located on the property sometimes referred to as the "Little River J Bar Ranch," `New J- Bar Ranch,' or simply J Bar " Historically the property was sometimes known as the "McKeithen Tract The property is currently owned by J J Barnes and his family The property is actively managed for wildlife habitat to facilitate hunting on the overall tract The project site is bounded on the west by the tract property boundary on the south by the Little River and on the east by the tract property boundary The northern boundary is defined by the conservation easement boundary on the J Bar parcel The project site is dominated by a cutover and bedded area Prior to the initiation of this project this area was planted with loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) Various herbaceous and woody species in addition to the loblolly pine are also found at the project site A bottomland hardwood forest approximately 200 to 500 feet in width is located between the timbered area and the Little River mainstem The overall goal of the Little River project is to preserve and enhance a natural Bottomland Hardwood Forest which exhibits desired functions appropriate to the existing geomorphic setting of the site Specific goals include 1) preservation of wildlife habitat and 2) natural community enhancement The project objectives include 1) partial removal of undesired vegetation via burning to promote desired species growth and 2) planting of the project site with specific native species to enhance natural habitat Several stream channels traverse the project site These channels are natural streams with headwaters forming within J Bar parcel Small portions of the channels appear to have been altered in the past but currently appear stable The projected included 3 593 linear feet of stream enhancement on two tributaries to the Little River (Reach 1 & Reach 2) and 210 linear feet of stream preservation of one associated tributary (Reach 3) Wetlands within the conservation easement boundary were enhanced or preserved Approximately 39 acres of wetlands in the bottomland hardwood forest adjacent to the Little River channel have been designated for preservation in addition to approximately 9 acres of successional wetland located in the northwest portion of the project site The wetlands within the approximately 48 acre loblolly pine plantation area and 7 -acre grassy field area have been enhanced through burning of the both areas and the planting of native hardwood trees Little River Stream and Wetland Enhancement (Year 0 of 5) Page i As built & Baseline Monitoring Report (EEP# 226) December 2011 Vegetative sample plots will be quantitatively monitored in the fall of each monitoring year Sixteen vegetation plots will be monitored as per the CVS EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation version 4 2 (CVS EEP 2008) The plots will be monitored for a minimum of 5 years The vegetative success of the restoration site will be evaluated based on the species density and survival rates Wetland vegetation monitoring will be considered successful if 150 planted woody stems per acre are surviving in year 5 of monitoring in the pine plantation area while 260 planted woody stems per acre must be surviving after 5 years of monitoring in the grassy field area Streams will be visually assessed each year to monitor for stability One crest gauge has been installed onsite and is located adjacent to Vegetation Plot 7 The project involves the enhancement of existing jurisdictional areas within the pine plantation and the preservation of existing wetlands and streams within the conservation easement Therefore hydrology is already assumed to be present due to the presence of hydnc soil indicators and lack of drainage In order to monitor and confirm the hydrology five continuous groundwater gauges were installed on the site Four of the gauges are located in the jurisdictional areas of the pine plantation and a fifth is a reference well located in the reference wetland in a preservation area on the west side of the project There is no success criterion for wetland hydrology Stantec staff installed groundwater wells and completed the baseline vegetation monitoring on February 2 2011 using the CVS EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation version 4 2 (CVS EEP 2008) Monitoring was conducted in 16 vegetation plots According to the data collected the average plant density among the 16 plots is 329 stems /acre The original planting plan specified 300 stems /acre for planting Zone 1 (pine plantation) which includes plots 4 16 while 600 stems /acre was specified for Zone 2 (grassy field) which includes plots 1 2 and 3 The highest plant densities occurred in plots 1 3 6 and 8 Plots 2 4 7

River project site is part of the J Bar Ranch which is owned and operated by J J Barnes and his family The project site is near Vass in Moore County, which is located approximately 60 miles south of Raleigh on US Highway 1 From US Highway 1 in Vass travel approximately 3 5 miles southeast along Lobelia Road (NC Highway 690) and turn right onto a dirt access road Follow the dirt road approximately 0 25 miles and then bear left at the fork in the road Continue an additional 0 65 miles along the dirt road to a second fork The right hand side of the fork leads into the easement while the left hand fork follows the northern boundary of the easement Refer to Figure 1 in Appendix A for a vicinity map The site is located at 35 22° North / 79 24° West on the northwestern portion of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) 7 5 Minute Topographic Quadrangle Lobelia (Figure 1 Appendix A) The lJ project site is located in the Cape Fear River basin within the USGS 14 digit hydrologic unit 03030004070050 12 PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The overall goal of the Little River project is to preserve and enhance a natural floodplam system which jexhibits desired functions appropriate to the existing geomorphic setting of the site The main functions of this system are nutrient processing aquatic and terrestrial habitat and floodwater storage The preservation areas of the site will provide for perpetual protection of the currently functioning areas Wetland enhancement on the site will improve aquatic and terrestrial habitat by restoring a natural diverse plant community to existing wetlands This diverse plant community will help maintain the streams Ft connectivity to the adjacent floodplain Specific objectives to achieve the goals are J• Preservation of 210 linear feet of perennial stream channel, 39 3 acres of bottomland hardwood wetlands along the Little River, and 9 3 acres of successional wetlands, �_ i • Enhancement of 3 593 linear feet of perennial stream channels and 54 8 acres of bottomland hardwood wetlands with planting of native bottomland hardwood species The bottomland hardwood wetland enhancement was accomplished with site preparation by removing undesirable existing vegetation and planting native vegetation through a prescribed burn The conversion a of the pme plantation and associated riparian areas to hardwood species will greatly improve the wildlife habitat on the property and improve the aquatic species diversity and abundance in the streams on the site 0 a Little River Stream and Wetland Enhancement (Year 0 of 5) Page 1 As built & Baseline Monitoring Report (EEP# 226) December 2011 0 13 PROJECT STRUCTURE, RESTORATION TYPE AND APPROACH 13 1 Project Structure The project involved enhancement of 3,593 linear feet (LF) of stream (Reach 1 & 2) and 54 8 acres (AC) of riparian and non riparian wetlands and preservation of 210 LF of stream (Reach 3) and 48 7 AC of riparian and successional wetlands along the project site A recorded conservation easement consisting of 125+ AC will protect all stream reaches riparian buffers and wetlands in perpetuity Refer to Table 1 and Figure 2 in Appendix A for a table and detailed plan view of the project components 13 2 Restoration Type and Approach Historically the site had been clear cut and a loblolly pine plantation was established on approximately 55 acres of the site Additionally two small areas were maintained as grassy fields for bird hunting Various herbaceous and woody species, in addition to the loblolly pine are also found at the project site A bottomland hardwood forest approximately 200 to 500 feet in width is located between the timbered area and the Little River mainstem Several stream channels traverse the project site These channels are natural streams with headwaters forming within J Bar parcel Small portions of the channels appear to have been altered in the past but currently appear stable A jurisdictional determination of the site in 2007 found approximately 105 acres of existing wetland on the project site The purpose of the project was to provide enhancement of existing jurisdictional riparian and wetlands and stream functions to a pine plantation on the site The project also included preservation of existing jurisdictional riparian and wetlands in the existing bottomland hardwood forest surrounding the pine plantation, and the preservation of some existing streams on the site The vegetative components of this project include streambank and wetland planting Bare root seedlings were planted within designated areas of the conservation easement The planting plan for the site included two planting zones pine plantation (Zone 1) planted at 300 stems /acre and grassy field (Zone 2) planted at 600 stems /acre Both zones were planted with Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwood Forest as described by Schafale and Weakley (1990) and in the NC Wetland Assessment Method User Manual (2010) Project components are depicted in Figure 2 of Appendix A 14 PROJECT HISTORY, CONTACTS, AND ATTRIBUTE DATA The project was initially designed by BLUE Land, Water, Infrastructure (BLWI) in 2002 The project transitioned from BLWI to Stantec Consulting Services Inc ( Stantec) in the spring of 2007 The scope of the project was changed to wetland and stream enhancement by EEP in 2009 The project underwent a controlled burn in December 2010 and planting was completed in January 2011 Refer to Tables 2 4 in Appendix A for additional project and contact details The 410 acre project watershed is located in the Sandhills physiographic province of North Carolina The project site is located on a terrace of the Lower Little River Slopes are generally less than one percent in the floodplain/terrace area with steep slopes farther upslope in the watershed Elevations on the Little Little River Stream and Wetland Enhancement (Year 0 of 5) Page 2 As built & Baseline Monitoring Report (EEP# 226) December 2011 0 1 1 0 0 0 1

project vicinity consists of the Cape Fear formation, which is comprised of sandstone and sandy mudstone with yellowish gray to bluish gray, mottled red to yellowish orange indurated graded and laterally continuous bedding and blocky clay (Geologic Map of North Carolina NC Geological Survey 1998) Faint cross - bedding feldspar and mica J are also common F1 Soil types from the USDA NRCS Moore County Soil Survey were combined by BLWI with the digitized USDA NRCS Moore County Soil Survey field sheets to get a more detailed assessment of the soils in the watershed The most prevalent soil types are Bibb (33 7 %) Kalmia (2162%) and Ailey (19 53 %) Bibb is a poorly drained sandy soil that forms in alluvial deposits while the well drained sandy Kalmia occurs on stream terraces and Ailey is a well drained sandy upland soil (Figure 10 3) However the soils onsite contain much more clay than those mapped The watershed is mixture of mixed shrubs /trees (69 1 %), hardwood forest (16 0 %) southern yellow pine (11 7 %) pasture (1 1 %) roadways /pathways (1 1 %) cultivated (0 8 %) and water (0 1 %) (Table 9 2) The majority of the hardwood forest occurs in the floodplain of the Little River particularly in the vegetated buffer directly adjacent to the primary channel 1-- Expected foreseeable land use / land cover change in the project site watershed is expected to include general reforestation and expanded habitat management The new US Highway 1 Bypass in the Vass area is expected to increase land development near the project site as the highway is less than three miles away

reference well is located in the reference wetland in a preservation area on the west side of the project site and is depicted on Figure 2 in Appendix A All gauges were programmed to record water table data on a daily basis A rainfall gauge was also located on the site to monitor precipitation, as depicted in Figure 2 In order to determine if the rainfall is normal for the given year rainfall amounts will be tallied using data obtained from the Moore County WETS Station as well as the on site ram gauge Hydrology will be monitored for a minimum of five years 3 12 Stream One crest gauge has been installed onsite and is located adjacent to Vegetation Plot 7 Each visit to the site will include documentation of the highest stage for the monitoring interval and a reset of the device Other indications of bankfull flow including the presence of wrack lines sediment, or flooding will also be recorded and documented photographically Refer to Figure 2 in Appendix A for the location of the crest gauge Additionally the streams will be visually assessed each year for stability 3 2 VEGETATION Twelve 10m x 10m (100m) and four 5m x 20m (100m) CVS plots were established within the project area and the four plot corners of each plot were located using a Global Positioning System (GPS) and permanently located with rebar rods Vegetative sample plots will be quantitatively monitored during September of each monitoring year per the CVS EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation, version 4 2 (CVS EEP 2008) Planted vegetation (Level 1) was recorded for the baseline monitoring while both planted vegetation and natural volunteers (Level 2) will be recorded beginning in Monitoring Year 2 Refer to Figure 2 in Appendix A for the locations of the vegetation plots The plots will be monitored for a mimmum of five years Baseline monitoring data is provided in the Appendix C data tables Vegetation sampling plots are proximal to groundwater momtoring gauges wherever practical to assist in correlating vegetation and hydrology parameters Any vegetative problem areas in the project will be noted and reported in each subsequent monitoring report Vegetative problem areas may include areas that either lack vegetation or include populations of exotic vegetation Little River Stream and Wetland Enhancement (Year 0 of 5) Page 5 As built & Baseline Momtonng Report (EEP# 226) December 2011 f

changes to flow within the project streams will be assessed over the five year monitoring period 3 5 MONITORING PLAN VIEW A plan view of the monitoring scheme is presented in Figure 2 in Appendix A 3 6 MAINTENANCE AND CONTINGENCY PLANS Any maintenance needs will be determined during monitoring visits During the baseline monitoring year upon completion of construction the contractor must address any issues under their warranty In subsequent monitoring years the monitoring firm will determine maintenance needs Maintenance items will be coordinated with NCEEP to determine the appropriate course of action The monitoring firm will visually assess the site to verify that the stream and wetland are functioning as needed and will note any adjustments that may be necessary is not anticipated that invasive plant species will be a significant problem onsite During the monitoring period, if any invasive species establish to the point of threatening the desired vegetative community hand cutting and herbicide treatment may be used to treat problem areas Wildlife including but not limited to beavers and deer, have the potential to destroy vegetation and stream features either by foraging or flooding Some beaver activity was observed on site during the design phase Should a significant portion of the site be damaged such that the success criteria cannot be achieved measures such as
