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 EEP RFP# 16- DO6067 Year Three Momtonng Report, 15 November 2011 Great Dismal Swamp RestorathonBank, LLC by Needham Environmental Inc Page 4 of 15 II. Project Background A. Location and Setting This was fully described in the Nfitigation Plan (As -Bmlt) for RFP #16- 1304016, 8 February 2006 Section 1 C on page 1 with Figures 1 through 6 of vicinity maps and onsite information Site is approximately 5 miles east of Columbia, Tyrrell County, south of and adjacent to US highway 64 B. Project Structure - Mitigation Type The entire length of stream is restoration within a former agricultural field C. Project History and Background Prior to submittal of mitigation proposal to EEP this site was an active MBRT approved wetlands mitigation bank The site was purchased in 1997 by Great Dismal Swamp RestoratronBank, LLC ( GDSRB) Restoration and monitoring activities began in 1997 prior to the award of EEP RFP #16- DO4016 (455 acres nvenne and non - nvenne) or EEP RFP #16- 1306067 (5,000' stream) NCDOT purchased 250 credits of restored forest in 1998 Sales to COE permitted activities have occurred GDSRB Timberlake Farm Mitigation Bank has 2,000+ possible wetland credits (in addition to the 455 acres under contract to EEP with RFP #16- D04016), of which 1100+ are available for debiting Table 1 - Project Activity and Reporting History Activity (related to RFP # 16- D06067) Scheduled Data Collection Delivery Restoration Plan modified from MBRT approved plan 25 January 2005 Final Design modified from MBRT approved plan 25 January 2005 Construction began under MBRT plan October 2004 Temporary S &E n/a Seedlings planted began under MBRT plan January 2005 AS -Built 29 October 2010 Year 1 Monitoring December 2008 December 2008 9 November 2010 Year 2 Monitoring December 2009 December 2009 10 May 2011 Year 3 Monitoring December 2010 December 2010 October 2010 Year 4 Monitoring December 2011 November 2011 Year 5 Monitoring December 2012 EEP RFP# 16- D06067 Year Three Momtormg Report 15 November 2011 Great Dismal Swamp RestorationBank, LLC by Needham Enviromnental Inc Page 5 of 15 Table 2 - Project Contact Table Designer Needham Environmental, Inc Robert N Needham needhambud @ec rr com or 910 - 371 -6082 Construction Vico Construction, 4001 S Military Hwy, Chesapeake, VA Contractor 23323 Emil A Viola Emil A Viola 757- 487 -3441 Planting Contractor ForesTree Management Co , Inc , 4038 Flag pond Lop Rd , Michael Fernandez Spring Hope, NC 27882 Phone # 252- 478 -3853 Seedling Contractor Super Tree Seedlings (International Paper), P O Box 56, Geoffrey Hill Belleville, Ga 30414 Phone # 877 - 8334760 Monitoring Performers Needham Environmental, Inc , 9100 Charlestowne Rd , SE, Wetland & Vegetation Wmnabow, NC 28479 Herbicide Consultant Charlotte, NC Butch Harrison hamson28215 @aol com Table 3 - Project Background Timberlake Farm Wetland Mitigation Bank - EEP RFP 416- DO4016 Project County Tyrrell Drainage area Approximately 5 square miles Impervious cover < 1% Physiographic Region (Middle Atlantic) Coastal plain Ecoregion 63b - Chesapeake - Pamhco Lowlands and tidal marshes Cowardin Classification Palustrme, forested, deciduous, needle - leaved and broad - leaved Dominant Soils Hyde (non- nverme) and Ponzer (nvenne) Reference Site ID Palmetto - Peartree Preserve USGS HUC 03010205 NCDWQ sub -basm 03 -01 -51 NCDWQ classification SC, Sw Any portion 303d listed NO % of project easement fenced none, but 4300 acre site within locked gate access road EEP RFP# 16- D06067 Year Three Momtonng Report 15 November 2011 Great Dismal Swamp RestorahonBank LLC by Needham Environmental Inc Page 6 of 15 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 EEP RFP# 16- D06067 Year Three Momtormg Report, 15 November 2011 Great Dismal Swamp RestorationBank LLC by Needham Envuomnental Inc Page 10 of 15 Table 4 - Timberlake Stream Restoration - Seedlings per Acre Species In planted pots fall 2005 fall 2006 fall 2007 fall 2008 fall 2009 fall 2010 # of plots 1 1 1 1 7 7 7 Taxodium distichum 170 170 170 170 325 308 308 Nyssa aquatica 180 180 120 100 14 9 9 N sylvatica var biflora 220 220 210 210 47 27 27 Salix nigra 10 10 0 0 0 0 0 Total 580 580 500 480 387 343 343 # of seedlings planned/survival criteria 681 450 400 320 290 260 260 Seedlings in excess of success criteria 130 100 160 97 83 83 2 Invader Seedlings None of the stream plots had any invader species in 2009 or 2010, the third year of monitoring for stream corridor vegetation success criteria The permanent surface water 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 1) The ISCO sensor may need to be re- surveyed due to the removal of the beaver dam in 2009 Table 5 - Annual Water Elevation Comparison (most recent three years) Water elevation in feet Maxunum Average Minimum 2008 2009 2010 2008 2009 2010 2008 2009 2010 Outlet 208 3 92 3 65 072 206 212 -066 108 127 Flicker 1 2 51 1 3 47 1 2 71 117 1 2 11 1 179 015 1 135 1 071 2 Volume Greatest flows were after periods of heavy precipitation Negative flows result when water was pushed into the site from Timberlake Canal during rising water events associated with wind tides on Albemarle Sound Observations by Dr Ardon and Mr Needham may indicate local wind tides within the mitigation bank itself where there are EEP RFP# 16 -D06M7 Year Turee Monitoring Report, 15 November 2011 Great Dismal Swamp RestorationBank, LLC by Needham Environmental Inc Page 11 of 15 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 1 Onsite Three onsrte sampling stations, with Flicker having the greatest combined species richness Flicker, and Outlet are similar in species Richness to Palmetto control station 2 Reference Stations The farm canal (a control station) has the lowest Richness of any of the five stations VIII.
