Executive Summary
The Modhn Property Wetland Mitigation Site is a riverine wetland project located on Poplar
Chapel Road near Jamesville, in Martin County, North Carolina It was constructed by
Albemarle Restorations, LLC, under contract with EEP to provide compensatory wetland
Mitigation credits in the Roanoke River Basin Construction activities, in accordance with the
approved restoration plan, began October 13, 2006, and were completed on March 12, 2007
Tree and shrub planting on the project site occurred between April 1 st and 4`h, 20071
In this, the fifth year of monitoring, hydrology has been successfully restored to the site,
including the previously problematic area around Gauge 1 that was subsoiled Im 2010 The
planted stems are well established and growing at an acceptable rate now that they have crowns
above the heavy herbaceous layer
Hydrologic monitoring began in 2007 with the installation of six water level monitoring gauges
at varying elevations throughout the site to measure subsurface water elevations In 2010 it was
determined that the soils around Gauge 1 were compacted and prohibiting successful hydrology
so the area (approximately 5 acres) was subsoded and replanted Gauges 1 A and IIB were added
to the area to determine the success of the treatment Evidence from those 3 gauges shows that
subsoiling did correct the soil compaction and drastically improved hydrology All three gauges,
1, IA and 1B showed a successful 5% hydroperiod in 2010, but not until after that year's
monitoring report was submitted The charts in this report have been updated to reflect the
successful 2010 hydroperiods for those three gauges All 8 gauges recorded two successful
hydroperiods during the 2011 growing season which indicates that the site's hydrology has been
successfully restored Albemarle Restorations intends to monitor the hydrology for an additional
year to confirm these results
Four vegetative monitoring plots were installed and permanently monumented, one coincident
with monitoring gauges 1 -4, such that both forested and shrub /scrub vegetative communities are
represented Each plot is a 10m X 10m square, as recommended by the CVS -EEP Protocol for
recording vegetation sampling All four plots met the year 5 success criterion o 260 living
planted stems per acre this year, a success rate of 100% Table ES -1 shows the levels of success
attained by each of the water level monitoring gauges and the vegetation plots since monitoring
began Success criterion for hydrology is 8% of the growing season (21 days) Table C -1 in
Appendix C has the actual number of days of hydrologic success Success criterion for the
vegetation plots is 260 live stems per acre (the year 5 level of survival)

I Protect Background
10 Protect Objectives
The goal of the Modhn Property Mitigation Project was to create a riverine wetland system
typically found in the middle to upper reaches of first or zero order tributary systems The
project is to serve as compensation for wetland loss in the Roanoke River Basin The mitigation
plan was developed and implemented to eliminate pattern drainage and restore topography and
hydrology that more closely resembled that of similar undisturbed land Construction resulted in
the development of a broad, frequently flooded swamp run following the historical path as
evidenced by aerial photographs and signature topography Subsequent 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 project goals and objectives include
1) Provide floodflow attenuation
2) Water quality improvement through sediment, toxicant and nutrient retention and
reduction
3) Slow over bank flow rates and provide storage and desynchromzation of flood waters
4) Alleviate downstream flooding issues by lessening the effect of pulse or flashy flows
5) Provide shading through forest cover to reduce algae growth and associated low
dissolved oxygen levels in surface water moving through the site
6) The production and export of food sources
7) The creation of wildlife habitat and recreational opportunities
20 Project Structure, Restoration Type, and Approach
Table I lists the estimated wetland acreage to be restored on the Modhn Property The mitigation
plan provides for the restoration of 40 0 acres of riverine wetlands Prior to construction, the
40 0 acre easement area was used entirely for row crop agriculture, primarily soy beans and
cotton A drainage ditch, built in the 1970's, divided the project area and provided drainage of
the seasonally high water table to allow the agricultural uses Construction activities, in
accordance with the approved restoration plan, began in October, 2006 with the removal of
existing hedgerows from within the project area Some of the whole trees found in the
hedgerows were placed along the length of the restored swamp run to facilitate water retention
and to provide wildlife habitat Also included as part of the water retention strategy is a low
berm, approximately three quarters of the way down the swamp run that functions like a natural
ridge within a swamp by creating a "pinch- point ", which helps create back - flooding across the
restored floodplain In its entirety, the project functions as a broad hardwood flat that is subject
to seasonal periodic flooding The lower end of the swamp run retains water for longer periods
which contributes to the vegetation diversity, as does the increase in site elevation moving
laterally away from the run Other topographical features include irregular depressions that
remain flooded or wet for most of the year

50 Monitoring Plan View
This year there were are eight water level monitors (gauges) installed at key locations across the
property These loggers are suspended in two -inch pvc pipe that is set approximately two to four
feet vertically into the ground The loggers have been located to assess the groundwater levels
throughout the year at various elevations and topographies within the site In addition, there is a
rain gauge on site to capture and record onsite precipitation
Vegetation monitoring is accomplished by resurveying the four permanent sampling plots Each
plot is referenced by a monitoring gauge (1 through 4) which serves as the plot origin and as a
photo station for that plot The plots are ten meters square and are situated to give an accurate
sample of the planted and natural woody vegetation For each site, the data recorded matches
that required of the CVS -EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation v 4 0 2006 level 1 -2
Figures 2 and 3 provide plan views of the site showing all monitoring features including gauges,
sampling plots and the rain gauge

10 Vegetation Assessment
The vegetation success criterion was developed in accordance with the CVS -EEP protocol. The
Modhn project was planned to include various plant communities The Palustrine emergent
(PEM) wetland zone immediately adjacent to the drainage course and other isolated depressions
are populated by vegetation consisting primarily of herbaceous material, grasses, sedges and
other hydrophytic plants Beyond the emergent zone is the Palustrine shrub /scrub (PSS)
community consisting of a mixture of woody shrubs interspersed with trees The emphasis in
this zone is on the shorter, scrubby vegetation typical of lower areas of native branch bottoms
and poorly dramed, broad hardwood flats The outer, largest Palustrine forested (PFO) zone was
planted to a mixture of trees and shrubs, but with the emphasis on trees The species mix was
based on the vegetation noted at the two reference sites and all species are classified from FAC
to OBL (Table V) The site was planted at a rate of 350 stems per acre in the spring of 2007
Due to poor survival attributed to the drought conditions experienced during the first growing
season, replacement planting and supplemental planting took place in the winter of 2008 The
species used were chosen from Table V Approximately 5 acres around Gauges 1, IA and 1B
were replanted in the winter of 2011 after subsoding that area to improve hydrology

11 Vegetation Discussion
All four plots met the Year 5 success criterion of a minimum of 260 stems per acre Over the
entire project, the survival rate averaged 516 live stems per acre A total of 8 different species
were tallied in September of 2011 Willow oak (Q phellos) and bald cypress (T distichum) are
the most frequently found species
Rainfall data collected on site show total precipitation for January through the middle of October
2011 to be very close to normal with a 2 87" cumulative surplus The growth data will indicate
what the photos in Appendix C attempt to show in that the planted stems are well developed and
growing at a faster rate now that they have larger, taller tops Many of the shrubs are bearing
fruit and some of the trees are showing substantial gams in height
12 Vegetation Monitoring Plan View (Integrated)
Figure 4 in Appendix D illustrates an area of the site where the hydrology was causing some
concern The problem was corrected with subsoihng and that area was replanted in the winter of
2011
20 Wetland Assessment
The hydrologic success criterion is to achieve a nummum of 21 consecutive days where the
groundwater level is within 12 inches of the soil surface during the growing season The
growing season for this site is from March 10 to November 20, a period of 255 days (WETS
Table for Wdlnamston, Martin County, NC) Success for any particular monitoring location is to
show sort saturation to within 12 inches of the surface for 21 consecutive days during that period
There are eight continuous water level monitoring devices deployed across the site (Gauges 1 -6,
IA and 1B) to monitor fluctuations in the water table within the project area A rain gauge is also
kept onsite and its data are compared to that collected at the NOAA cooperator site in
Willimaston, NC To further gauge the affect of seasonal and annual variations in precipitation
in restored wetlands, hydrologic success of the site was assessed in relation to the reference
wetland site (Gauge 7)
21 Wetland Discussion
Rainfall patterns in 2011 were close to normal in total from January through October, but as of
the end of May, there was a slightly larger rainfall deficit in 2011 than in previous years of
monitoring Yet hydrology patterns this year indicate much better penetration and recharge rates
than in previous years which might indicate that soil porosity is steadily improving Evidence of
this might be inferred from the greatly improved hydrology around Gauges 1, IA and 1B after
subsoihng in 2010
Of particular interest is the fact that all 8 gauges showed two successful hydroperiods during the
2011 growing season Only Gauge 1A failed to show a hydroperiod of 21 days or more (8% of
Modlm Property Wetland Mitigation Project 11
Albemarle Restorations LLC
2011 Monitoring Year 5 of 5
the growing season) Its longest hydroperiod was 19 days (7 5% of the growing season) Gauge
1 had a 22 -day hydroperiod in 2011 Prior to the corrective subsoiling, its longest hydroperiod
was 9 days It is clear that wetland hydrology has been restored and will continue to improve as
the soil structure improves with vegetation growth and root development As such, AR will
monitor the hydrology for an additional year in order to confirm the success
22 Wetland Monitoring Plan View (Integrated)
Figure 4 in Appendix D provides an overview of the site The area shaded in green on the plan
view indicates where subsoiling took place in the fall of 2010 Hydrologic problems in that area
have been corrected and it is functioning as well as the remainder of the site Table VI shows
that at the 5% level, hydrology across the site was entirely successful

In this, the fifth year of monitoring, the Modhn project has shown its best hydrologic record to
date Cumulative rainfall from January through October was very close to normal with a 2 87"
surplus and the entire project area showed two successful hydroperiods The swamp run held
water for most of the year and there was some evidence of flow across the internal berm near the
outfall of the project
The planted stems appear to be well established and developing well, with many of the
herbaceous plants bearing fruit Growth should continue to accelerate now that many of the
stems have crowns above the highly competitive herbaceous layer
