Meadowbranch Swamp Wetland Restoration USGS HUC 03040203 Baseline Monitoring Report • Robeson County, North Carolina November 2011 0 1.0 Executive Summary The Meadowbranch Swamp Wetland Restoration site was selected for wetland restoration, enhancement, and preservation by the North Carolina Department of the Environment and Natural Resources, Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCDENR -EEP) The purpose of this restoration project was to restore, enhance, and preserve a low lying area adjacent to Meadowbranch Swamp This was be accomplished by restoring surface flow and groundwater elevations within the site area by removing a former logging road and modifying the canal access road The intent of this project was to change these site features to restore the wetland functions as closely as possible to that of pre - disturbance conditions The project site is approximately one -half mile west - northwest of Lumberton, in Robeson County, North Carolina as depicted on Figure 1 (Appendix 1), Project Site and Reference Site Vicinity Map The site consists of a wooded parcel owned by the Lumber River Conservancy which encompasses approximately 55 4 acres The site is located along Carthage Road which bounds the site to the south Located immediately adjacent to the west of the site is a channelized water feature known as Meadowbranch Swamp canal There is an access road, which is maintained by the City of Lumberton, along Meadowbranch Swamp canal which extends north from Carthage Road to SR 211 In addition, there was a former logging road located within the interior of the site which began approximately 100 feet from Meadowbranch Swamp canal The former logging road began at Carthage Road and extended north, roughly paralleling Meadowbranch Swamp canal for a distance of approximately 2,000 feet Along the eastern edge of the former logging road was a ditch feature Several approaches were used to restore the project site The primary actions to restore the site included removal of the former logging road, filling the ditch feature along the eastern edge of the former logging road, minor earthwork to modify the existing access road along Meadowbranch Swamp canal, removal of existing culverts within the former logging road and access road, treatment of the largest concentrations of Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinese), and replanting areas along the former logging road, filled in drainage feature, and areas with highest concentrations of Chinese privet Removal of the former logging road involved excavating material from the logging road and placing it back into the ditch feature located along the eastern edge of the former logging road In addition, there were five (5) culverts along the former logging road which were removed Modifications to the access road along Meadowbranch Swamp canal involved designing several road crossings, or low areas built into the access road, to mimic the natural Swale observed adjacent to the reference area These road crossings will allow flood events onto the project parcel In addition, there were six (6) culverts along the access road which were removed This will hydrologically reconnect the site with Meadowbranch Swamp canal, allowing water from overbank flood events to be distributed and stored over the entire site Within the highest concentrations of Chinese privet, the trunks and branches of the Chinese privet were removed, treated with aquatic safe herbicide, and were replanted ©EcoEngineenng A do—of TTc H fm %I Adorn U qu W Meadowbranch Swamp Wetland Restoration - USGS HUC 03040203 Baseline Monitoring Report - Robeson County, North Carolina November 2011 Through these actions, the project has restored and enhanced 47 31 acres of riverme wetlands Ci which had a disturbed surface flow regime The project also included 0 35 acres of vegetative riverme wetland enhancement and the preservation of existing riverme wetlands (0 87 acres) 2.0 Proiect Goals, Background and Attnbutes 2.1 Location and Setting The site is located approximately 2,500 feet to the west of Interstate 95 near Exit 19 in Lumberton, North Carolina The project area encompasses 55 4 acres along Carthage Road which abuts the site to the south The site is situated within the 100 -year floodplain associated with Meadowbranch Swamp canal which is adjacent to the west The site includes an access road along the canal which has been established by the City of Lumberton From Carthage Road extending north, the canal road extends approximately 3,000 feet of the access road along the east side of Meadowbranch Swamp canal From SR 211 extending south, the City primarily utilizes approximately 4,200 feet of the access road along the western side of Meadowbranch Swamp canal Located within the interior of the site was a former logging road which roughly paralleled Meadowbranch Swamp canal The former logging road began along Carthage Road approximately 100 feet east of Meadowbranch canal and extended north for approximately 2,000 feet A ditch feature was located along the eastern edge of the former logging road The project site is almost entirely forested primarily with young hardwoods and some areas of young pine This is due to the fact that the site was logged approximately 15 years ago J Due to the timing of the logging, the site is currently at a stage of succession where the vegetation is very dense In general, the site is too disturbed to adequately assess the ultimate climax community types Also, the increase in hydrology from the project may also adjust the community type boundary Currently, there are a few small areas near the access road along Meadowbranch Swamp that still have stands of relatively older growth bald cypress (Taxodium distichum) and would be designated as Cypress -Gum Swamp Other larger areas have some young bald cypress, but the areas are more dominated by red maple (Acer rubrum) and river birch (Betula nigra) and it is not clear what community will ultimately predominate Besides those few areas of Cypress -Gum Swamp on the site, the remainder of the area could probably best be described as a disturbed site undergoing succession to a Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwood (based on reference wetland conditions) In general, the majority of the site appears to have strong characteristics of bottomland hardwood In general, large portions of the site are naturally regenerating with appropriate native vegetation and it would probably be counter - productive to intercede in this natural process However, some portions of the site contained large concentrations of Chinese privet which have been removed, treated, and replanted The site is located in the Inner Coastal Plain Physiographic Region of North Carolina and lies within the USGS Hydrologic Unit Code 03040203 080010 (USGS, 1974), which falls within the Lumber River basin The NC DWQ River Subbasin for the project area is listed as the Lumber 03 -07 -51 (NCDENR, 2003) The current State classification for Meadowbranch Swamp (Stream Index # 14 -12) from its source to the Lumber River, is Class C and Swamp J Waters (Sw) waters (NCDENR, 2006) Class C waters support aquatic life, wildlife, and 2 [JEcoEngineenng Aib% n of Thc J,hn R MicAda Cm qw Inc Meadowbranch Swamp Wetland Restoration • USGS HUC 03040203 Baseline Monitoring Report • Robeson County, North Carolina November 2011 they can also be used for secondary recreation and agriculture The Sw classification is intended for waters which have low velocities and other natural characteristics, different from adjacent streams 2.2 Project Goals and Objectives The goal of this project was to restore, enhance, and preserve the project area This was achieved by creating low areas in the access road based on flood elevations, removing an existing former logging road and adjacent canal within the site, and planting native wetland vegetation in select areas This has returned the site to a more natural hydrologic state which will • Store and treat runoff from 1 8 square miles of developed land, nearly half of Lumberton, which drains to the project site • Allow for retention and treatment of sediment, nutrients, and toxins to improve water quality of the Lumber River which is listed as impaired approximately six miles downstream of project site • Support the goals outlined in the 2003 Lumber River Basinwide Water Quality Plan by implementing a project within a watershed that has been identified by the NC Wetlands Restoration Program (NCWRP) as having the greatest need • Assist in the improvement of water quality, the Basinwide plan indicates 406 miles of waters within Subbasin 03 -07 -51 are impaired • Provide a more natural flood regime and flood storage for waters in Meadowbranch Swamp �) 0 Connect to surrounding wetland areas and enhance the wildlife habitat present in the wetland 2.3 Project Structure, Restoration Type and Approach The project area is located adjacent to Meadowbranch Swamp with a drainage area of 34 4 square miles In addition, the site is located only about 1,000 feet upstream where Meadowbranch Swamp empties into the Lumber River The drainage from Meadowbranch Swamp and the Lumber River contribute to the flood events at the site As such, the project area regularly experiences hydrologic inputs from local rain events and more widespread "whole basin" events The entire project area is located within a designated 100 year floodplain Therefore, the type of wetland targeted for the project area was a palustrine riverme floodplain wetland system Historically, alterations to the site associated with the maintenance of the access road along Meadowbranch Swamp canal and from the previous logging operations modified the hydrologic functions of the existing wetlands The project will counteract these impacts to the wetlands by improving hydrologic connections to Meadowbranch Swamp and by removing a constructed logging road which is impeding surface water movement across the site The first modification was the installation of road crossings along the access road which are cuts in the access road to allow surface flow from Meadowbranch Swamp canal into the adjacent low lying areas A total of nine (9) areas were lowered along the access road and consisted of a series of cuts along the canal to promote temporary flooding of the site during 3 ®EcoEngmeenng A4- -r7TelnhnR %kAd.m lump., Inc I 1 Meadowbranch Swamp Wetland Restoration • USGS HUC 03040203 Baseline Momtonng Report • Robeson County, North Carolina November 2011 overbank events The City of Lumberton requires vehicle traffic along the eastern side of Meadowbranch Swamp Therefore, five (5) crossings along the access road were reinforced and referred to as roadway crossings The remaining four (4) crossings, located north of where the City of Lumberton requires vehicle traffic, were referred to as berm cuts Additionally modifications to the access road included the removal of six (6) culverts The crossings and berm cuts constructed along the access road allow more frequent overbank flooding of the site which enhances the hydrologic wetland component of the project Each of the nine (9) crossings or berm cuts has lowered the top of bank elevation by approximately two to three feet Historical flooding information provided in Appendix 7 of the 2007 Restoration Plan for this project, showed the site (on average) flooding to an elevation of 113 five times per year and to an elevation of 115 only two tames per year Re- connecting the historic floodplam to the Meadowbranch Swamp canal at an elevation of 113 more than doubles the average flooding frequency and enhances the hydrologic regime on -site The second modification was the removal of the former logging road to allow surface flow across the site The ditch located along the east side of the former logging road was filled in with soil material excavated from the former logging road Additional modifications included the removal of five (5) culverts under the former logging road The former logging road and filled in drainage feature were replanted The third modification was the removal of trunks and branches of the Chinese privet located within high concentration areas The Chinese privet was treated with aquatic herbicide and replanted The final action was the establishment of a conservation easement on the parcel owned by the Lumber River Conservancy which encompasses approximately 55 4 acres The actions of the project have restored and enhanced 47 31 acres of nverme wetlands which had a disturbed surface flow regime The project also included 0 35 acres of vegetative riverme wetland enhancement and the preservation of existing riverme wetlands (0 87 acres) The preservation of existing uplands (1 59 acres) and areas associated with the access road, staging area, and utility easement (5 28 acres) round out the remainder of the conservation easement acreage Located to Appendix 2 are Table la (Project Components) and Table lb (Component Summations) Z4 Project History, Contact and Attribute Data Located in

targeted areas with species appropriate for Coastal Plan Bottomland Hardwood and Cypress -Gum Swamp community types Areas planted included the former logging road and adjacent drainage ditch, and the Chinese privet areas after their removal Vegetation will be monitored on an annual basis to determine survival This monitoring process will be conducted in an effort to show the survival of a diverse target community such that the restored site has survival at a density of 320 stems /acre after three years and 288 at year 4 Final stem count criteria are 260 trees per acre at the end of the five (5) year monitoring In addition, the areas being controlled for privet will be assessed during monitoring for the return of privet If the privet returns in a quantity that threatens the targeted plants, then corrective actions will need to be taken In accordance to CVS -EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation (CVS -EEP, v4 2), three (3) vegetation monitoring plots, which are 20 meter by 5 meter in size, have been established within the former logging road Figure 2 As Built located in Appendix 1 shows the location of the vegetation plots In addition, within the Chinese privet areas two (2) random transects, which were 50 meter by 2 meter in size, were assessed for planted stems (Appendix 1, Figure 2) 3.2 Hydrology The restored wetlands have been designed to function as a bottomland hardwood forest, but will consist of Cypress -Gum Swamp and Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwood communities (Schafale & Weakley, 1990) according to reference data Therefore, the wetlands restored on this project site shall target establishing a wetland with water tables near or at the surface Based on reference data collected, the performance criteria for the site shall consist of the water table being within 12 inches of the soil surface continuously for greater than 10% of the growing season under average rainfall conditions (USACE, 1987), as measured in the restored area of the former logging road Groundwater table elevations within this area will be deemed successful if water tables meet these criteria For this region, the growing season is 213 days, therefore, the water table must be within 12 inches of the soil for twenty four (21) consecutive days or more To monitor the water table at the site, ten (10) automated groundwater gauges were installed in October, 2006 5
