I. Executive Summary - Year Three Monitoring
A. Flow Data - ISCO
A research team from Duke University under the direction of Dr Emily Bernhardt have
been recording flows at 15 minute intervals since February 2007 They have installed four
ISCO Doppler Velocimeters, model 2680 monitors One is at the lower reach outlet and a
second 843 feet upstream of the upper reach limits, of the 5,000' RFP #16- D06067 Data
from these two flow meters will be included in annual monitoring reports to show net
outflow from the site
1 Water Levels
Duke University began recording water level and flow volume in 2006 prior to the
opening of the pump flap gates Water levels at the Outlet are generally lower than at the
Flicker Road ISCO location This indicates a slight downstream gradient winch would be
expected in a headwater system However, during periods of drought wind tides may
create back flow into the site and under those conditions the Outlet water level can be
higher than at Flicker Road
2 Volume
Timberlake is subject to wind tides The Outlet location does have more periods of
negative volume compared to Flicker which is further upstream and has less wind tide
influence Flicker readings in summer and fall 2009 were affected by a beaver dam which
was constructed on top of the ISCO flow sensor
B. Macro benthos
Mr Jeff Muehlbauer, doctoral candidate working with Dr Martin Doyle of University of
North Carolina (UNQ is sampling macro benthos at several sites at Timberlake and the
Palmetto- Peartree Preserve We include five of the stations sampled by Mr Muehlbauer
1 Control
The control stream is at Palmetto Peartree Preserve and an upstream control above the
southern pump station, two miles south of the EEP 5,000 feet of stream easement
2 Onsite
Stations onsrte are the Outlet, V8 - standing water, and 843' upstream of the upper reach
of the EEP stream easement at Flicker Road bridge crossing
C. Vegetation
Prior to the EEP contract for stream a one -tenth acre circular was established as part of
the monitoring for the MBRT This location is V8 Five additional vegetation sample
plots were installed between V8 and the Redwing Road crossing A sixth new plot was
located at the upstream end of the stream easement These six new plots are 10 meters by
10 meters Surviving seedlings are counted in these plots and converted to trees per acre
for success criteria The shrub -scrub upstream of Redwing Road was not sampled

III. Introduction
Seedlings were planted in February 2005 as part of the approved MBRT restoration plan
The flap gates of the main pump station were opened and tack welded with a chain in
February 2007 The entire pump station will be excavated and removed Its continued
presence is only to provide a method of lowering water levels if an unforeseen climatic
event necessitated replanting On 24 July 2006 the MBRT for the remaining portion of
the tract approved an Implementation Plan that recognizes nvenne and stream credits on
this site, quantities to be determined through monitoring The opening of the pump flap
gates was specified in the Implementation Plan
Flow data for this stream restoration project is obtained from Dr Marcelo Ardon of Duke
University The macro benthos data is supplied by Mr Jeff Muehlbauer of UNC
Needham Environmental Inc sample vegetation and compile the data for EEP reporting
IV. Flow Sampling
A. Materials and Methods
A research team from Duke University under the direction of Dr Emily Bernhardt have
been recording flows since February 2007 They have installed four ISCO Doppler
Velocumeters, model 2680 monitors One is at the lower reach Outlet and a second, at
Flicker Road, 843 feet upstream of the upper reach limits, of the 5,000' RFP #16-
D06067 Data from these flow meters is monitored to show net outflow from the site
B. Water Levels
The ISCO meters record water depth which is converted to feet above NGVD 1929 The
data is then charted in Microsoft Excel for the Outlet and Flicker Road recording stations
The entire 100' wide EEP stream corridor has surface inundation throughout the year
1 Outlet
Highest water level at the Outlet was 3 65' on 1 October, and an earlier high water event
of 3 54' on 6 February Lowest level was 127' on 31 July and an annual average of 2 06',
compared to 0 72' in 2008 The average water level for 2010 was 2 12'
2 Flicker
Flicker had a high of 2 92' on 8 February and a later high water event of 2 71' on 4
October Lowest level was 0 71' on 10 August Flicker Road water level average for
2010 was 179' (Chart 1)
C. Flow Volume
The volume of water movement is also recorded by the ISCO meters This data is
supplied by Dr Ardon and is based on cubic meters Periods of wind tide moving into the
site are indicated by negative volume
EEP RFP# 16- DO6067 Year Three Momtonng Report, 15 November 2011
Great Dismal Swamp RestorahonBank, LLC by Needham Environmental Inc Page 7 of 15
1 Outlet
Greatest flow offsite at the Outlet was 46,49 cubic meters (m3) on 14 March The site is
subject to wind tides which cause flows into the site through the culvert under Timberlake
Road Days of rising wind tides result in negative discharge On 10 January, a volume of
-572m3 occurred Average discharge at the Outlet during 2010 was 2,973 m3
2 Flicker
The greatest discharge at Flicker was 22,754 m3 on 8 October Average discharge was
828 m3 (Chart 2) No negative flows were recorded at Flicker Road during 2010
D. Precipitation Recording
1 Onsite Precipitation
Each of the five ISCO's located onsite has a ram gauge Dr Ardon takes the daily rainfall
from all five ISCO's and averages for onsite precipitation This information is provided to
Needham Environmental Inc in an Excel file along with water level and flow volume data
2 "Normal' Precipitation
Long term precipitation data was provided by the State Climate Office from the Plymouth
Research Station The most recent 30 years monthly rainfall data was analyzed to
determine the monthly 30 and 70 percentiles In a statistically "normal" year, 30% of the
months would be drier than "normal", 30% of the months wetter than "normal", and 40%
within the "normal" range
3 Precipitation
Rainfall for 2010 was 55 54" at Plymouth April, June, November and December were
drier than the dry 30 percentile January, February, March, May, September, and October
were wetter than the wet 30 percentile July and August were average (Chart 3)
V. Macro benthos
A. Materials and Methods
Collect macro invertebrates quarterly (Mar, Jun, Sept, Dec) using a modification of a
method developed by the NC DWQ for sampling swamp biota (aptly named the "Swamp
Protocol ") Method involves standing at a fixed point on the bank and sampling everything
that can reach with a 4'D-frame net, mesh size 500 micron This includes the channel
sediment, bank vegetation, and water column Netted samples are then put in a tray and
field - picked until my picking rate is slower than 1 individual per minute, for a maximum of
30 person - minutes (e g 30 minutes for 1 person, or 15 minutes each for 2 people) This is
what DWQ calls "semi- quantitative sampling," as it is fairly accurate at getting a
representative sample of the site, richness, and relative abundance, but produces somewhat
ambiguous true abundance and density data Keep the specimens in 95% ethanol, and
count and ID them in the lab Most identifications are to the genus level, with some
exceptions Determine a specimens "nvenne affinity" based largely on expert opinion and
habitat tables from Merritt, Cummins, & Berg's (2008) "Introduction to the Aquatic
Insects of North America," which is the standard key for benthologists These tables
EEP RFP# 16 D06067 Year Three Monitoring Report 15 November 2011
Great Dismal Swamp RestorationBank LLC by Needham Environmental Inc Page 8 of 15
include genus - specific data on distributions and habitat preferences, based on published
accounts (The above is from Mr Jeff Muehlbauer of UNC, the individual collecting and
analyzing the macro benthos data)
B. Classification of Species
Mr Muehlbauer rates the collected species into three categories These are species
indicative of flowing water, species associated with standing water, and total of all
species, which includes both flowing and standing water species along with species that
have no stream or water classification association
C. Onsite Stations
Three collection stations are associated with the EEP stream easement and contract
These are Outlet, where the stream discharges through a Thigh X 11' wide culvert under
Timberlake Road, V8, an area of open water associated with an MBRT sample plot, and
Flicker, a tunber matt bridge on Flicker Road where the ISCO is located 843' upstream of
the end of the EEP 5,00 foot stream easement These three sample locations are from
downstream to upstream along the stream corridor
D. Reference Stations
A sluggish black water outer coastal plain stream sampled by Mr Muehlbauer on the
Palmetto - Peartree Preserve has been used as a control or reference station for flowing
water habitat A second control was located in the agricultural canal upstream of the
Timberlake Mitigation bank site This site represents the pre - restoration stream conditions
of the mitigation bank Charts of the richness and abundance have the three onsrte stations
plotted in between the reference stream and the agricultural canal The onsrte stations are
solid bars and the reference or control stations are hatched
E. Macro Benthos Results - 2010
1 Richness
Flowing water species were found at all five collection stations Palmetto - Peartree (0 25)
V8 (0 33), Outlet (100), Flicker (1 00) and the Farm Canal (0 75) Note the two onsrte
flowing water stations (Outlet and Flicker) had the highest number of species associated
with flowing waters
Standing water species Richness was greatest at Palmetto (2 8) The Outlet, V8 and
Flicker were (10, 0 7 and 2 8) respectively The farm canal was 0 8 Total species was
greatest at Flicker (6 0) followed by Outlet (5 3) (Chart 4)
2 Abundance
Following water species abundance was greatest at Outlet (7 50) and Flicker (5 75)
Flowing water species were lowest at V8 (0 67) and Palmetto (1 0)
EEP RM I &D06067 Year Three Monitoring Report, 15 November 2011
Great Dismal Swamp RestorationBank LLC by Needham Environmental Inc Page 9 of 15
Standing water species were greatest at Flicker (10 3 ) and Outlet (6 3) Total of all
species was Outlet (32 0), Palmetto (25 3), Flicker (22 8), Farm Canal (8 3), and least at
V8 (1 7)(Chart 5)
VI. Vegetation
A. Materials and Methods
A pre - constructed square was made of polypropylene rope with a diagonal section to
assure a square sample plot A stainless steel ring was in each comer which could be
slipped over a section of 5/8'h inch re-bar which permanently mark the comers of each
plot The re-bar is over one foot long, driven to near soil surface, and when herbaceous
vegetation invades could be located with a survey pin finder
The site received herbicide treatment during 2005 and 2006 The reduction in herbaceous
competition for the first two growing seasons allowed rapid growth of the planted
seedlings The lower elevation areas along the stream corridor were allowed to establish
before the cessation of pumping activities Seedlings would have drown without pumping
B. Circular Plot
The vegetation plot closest to the Outlet was previously sampled as part of the MBRT
restoration plan This plot, V8, is a one -tenth acre circular plot Rather than reduce the
size of that plot it was decided to continue sampling as a circular plot and surviving
seedlings are converted to seedlings per acre
C. Square Plots
Six additional vegetation sample plots were added along the stream corridor These are
evenly spaced and the location was determined by the surveyor prior to establishment in
the field to avoid human bias These square plots are labeled SW1 -SW6 SW6 is
upstream, south, of the shrub -scrub area between Redwing Road and Flicker Road
Following discussions with EEP staff, it was agreed not to sample the shrub -scrub area as
it was vegetated and not planted with seedlings during MBRT restoration
D. Vegetation Results
The fall of 2010 was the sixth year since seedlings were planted The pump was
operational for the 2005 -2006 growing seasons to prevent drowning of the young
seedlings The pump was turned off and the flap gates opened in February 2007
1 Planted Seedlings
Bald cypress, Taxodium dtstichum, was dominant with 308 seedlings per acre Swamp
tupelo, Nyssa sylvathca var biflora, was second at 27 seedlings per acre and water tupelo,
N aquatica, at 9 per acre There was no change from the previous year Survival criteria
for the fifth year was 260 seedlings per acre 2010 was year six after planting and we do
not have a projection for survival after year five The year five minimum was exceeded by
83 seedlings per acre Species and numbers for each of the seven plots are in Appendix 1

within the 100' stream corridor likely precludes establishment of any invading species
VII. Conclusions (Year There Observations)
A. Stream Flow
1 Water Level
The upstream Flicker site, usually had a lower water elevation than the Outlet site (Chart

large areas of shallow water During the early years, when the seedlings were smaller,
wind was observed to create a localized wind tide on site This was also observed by Mr
Kevin Miller formerly of EEP when onsrte with Mr Needham and conducting a dye test
B. Macro Benthos
