Representative Photographs of the Mitigation Site in May and July of 2011 6`181 Sy � � The following report summarizes the monitoring activities that occurred in 2011 at the Mitigation Site on Lot 121 in the Dolphin Ridge Subdivision that was created pursuant to Permit 200200769 The Dolphin Ridge Subdivision is located on the south side of Coast Guard Road in the Town of Emerald Isle, Carteret County, North Carolina The goal of the monitoring activities is to determine if the Mitigation Site has been constructed and planted to establish a sustainable wetlands area ( "Created Wetlands ") that is similar to the natural wetlands that adjoin the Mitigation Site The data obtained from the monitoring wells installed in the Mitigation Site and the survival and growth of the various wetlands plants planted in the Mitigation Site indicates that the Mitigation Site is functioning just like the natural wetlands it adjoins and that the creation of the Created Wetlands has been successful Based on the results from the three years of monitoring, the mitigation has been successful and the Mitigation Site is and will continue to be a functioning wetlands INTRODUCTION Project Description The Project consists of 4,164 59 square feet of mitigation area on Lot 121 in Dolphin Ridge The mitigation area is to provide compensatory mitigation for 3,561 square feet of wetlands filled on Lot 113 in Dolphin Ridge The compensatory mitigation exceeds the minimum 1 1 onsite mitigation ratio A copy of a portion of the subdivision plat for Dolphin Ridge is included in Exhibit 1 to this Report The plat has the general location of the Mitigation Site marked on it The Mitigation Site initially was excavated and planted in 2007 However, the Corps of Engineers expressed concerns that the depth of the 2007 excavation might not be sufficient to establish long term sustainable wetlands To address these concerns, in 2008 additional excavation occurred at the Mitigation Site to bring the elevation in the Mitigation Site to an elevation similar to that of the natural wetlands that adjoin the Mitigation Site The Corps of Engineers also recommended that when the Mitigation Site was replanted after the additional excavation that plants from the neighboring natural wetlands be transplanted to the Mitigation Site to insure compatibility and to increase the success of the wetlands Accordingly, in 2008, the Mitigation Site was planted with a mix of Lizard's Tail (Saururus cernuus), Rush (Juncaceae), Red Maple (Acer rubrum), Button Bush (Cephalanthus occidentalis), Wax Myrtle (Mynca cenfera), Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum), Sweetbay Magnolia (Magnolia virgimana), and Swamp Loosestnfe (Decodon verticillatus) plants We specifically did not plant any Common Cattail (Typha Latifolia) in the Mitigation Site After the planting was completed, two monitoring wells were installed in the Mitigation Site The monitoring wells were installed pursuant to the instructions and procedures detailed in the "Technical Standard for Water - Exhibit Monitoring of Potential Wetland Sites" prepared by the U S Army Corps of Engineers dated June 2005 In order to demonstrate that the mitigation is successful, hydrology and vegetation monitoring must be conducted for three years to confirm that the Mitigation Site meets the Hydrology Success Criteria and the Vegetation Success Criteria as established by the protect specifications and in compliance with federal guidelines for wetland mitigation 2011 is the third year of monitoring following the re- gradmg and replanting of the site in 2008 This Report details the 2011 results of the hydrology and vegetation monitoring at the Mitigation Site 4 HYDROLOGY Hydrology Success Criteria Project specifications require saturation (within 12 inches of the surface) or inundation of the Mitigation Site for a consecutive period of at least 12 5% of the growing season for one year under average climatic conditions for the Mitigation Site to be deemed to meet the Hydrology Success Criteria According to the data for WETS Station Morehead City 2WNW, NC5830 having a latitude of 34° 44'N and a longitude of -76° 44'W, published by the National Water and Climate Center of the Natural Resources Conservation Service of the United States Department of Agriculture, the growing season in Carteret County, based on a 50% probability that air temperatures will reach 28° Fahrenheit or higher, runs from March 14 to November 30 That means that the growing season contains 261 days, and 12 5% of 261 days equates to 33 days Accordingly, for the Mitigation Site to meet the Hydrology Success Criteria, it needs to show saturation (within 12 inches of the surface) or inundation for at least 33 consecutive days between March 14 and November 30 under average climatic conditions Lot 121 in Dolphin Ridge is located at latitude 34° 39'24"N and longitude -77° 04'29 "W The Mitigation Site is located approximately 20 miles from WETS Station Morehead City 2WNW, NC5830 and approximately 4 miles from State Climate Office of North Carolina Station KNJM - Bogue Field MCALF, in Bogue, North Carolina, having a latitude of 34 69 °N and a longitude of -77 02 °W The Mitigation Site has two (2) monitoring wells installed in it The monitoring wells were installed pursuant to the instructions and procedures detailed in the "Technical Standard for Water - Exhibit Monitoring of Potential Wetland Sites" prepared by the U S Army Corps of Engineers dated June 2005 The Monitoring Well Installation Data Sheets for each of the monitoring wells and a survey showing the location of the monitoring wells at the Mitigation Site were included in the Annual Mitigation Report for 2009 The monitoring wells at the Mitigation Site were labeled "A" and "B" for ease of reference Each momtonng well was manually monitored on a daily basis from March 14, 2011, to November 30, 2011, except for August 27, 2011 when Hurricane Irene visited the area The monitoring well measurements shown for August 27, 2011, duplicate the data for August 26, 2011, so that the data does not show a zero and give a completely incorrect indication of the hydrology at the time Due to the monitoring wells measurements preceding the hurricane event being well within the wetlands criteria, there is no concern that the monitoring well measurement for August 27, 2011, would have shown a one day change that would have changed whether the wetlands criteria was met Monitoring well reports in graph form showing the daily measurements at each of the monitoring wells for each month of the Growing Season are contained in Exhibits 2 - 3 of this Report All measurements are in inches Each monitoring well has a separate graph for each month of the Growing Season Each graph shows the "Date," "Depth of Water From Surface in Monitoring Well," and "Depth of Standing Water Above Surface " Negative numbers indicate that the water level is located below the ground level surface that distance, and positive numbers indicate that the water level is located above the ground level surface that distance If there is no standing water on the surface, the graph shows the depth of standing water as "0" If the depth of the surface water surrounding a monitoring well exceeded the height of the monitoring well riser, then the measurement shown for the "Depth of Water From Surface in Monitoring Well" is the depth of the surrounding surface water Monitoring Well Results for Entire Growina Season A review of the Monitoring Well reports based on the entire Growing Season (without consideration of the amount of rainfall during the Growing Season) indicates that the Mitigation Site experienced saturation (within 12 inches of the surface) or inundation for at least 33 consecutive days of the 2011 Growing Season The Monitoring Well reports for the entire Growing Season show that 1 Monitoring Well A had 66 days (vs 68 days in 2009 and 98 days in 2010) where the soil was saturated at a depth of less than 12 inches from the surface and 133 days (vs 189 days in 2009 and 144 days in 2010) where the soil was inundated with water 2 Monitoring Well B had 62 days (vs 67 days in 2009 and 95 days in 2010) where the soil was saturated at a depth of less than 12 inches from the surface and 133 days (vs 190 days in 2009 and 145 days in 2010) where the soil was inundated with water 0 Monitoring Well Results for Periods During Growing Season with Average Climatic Conditions Since one of the parameters of the Hydrology Success Criteria is that the conditions be met "under average climatic conditions," the average climatic conditions during a normal Growing Season must be determined Once the average climatic conditions are determined, it must be determined if (and when) such average climatic conditions occurred during the 2011 Growing Season The Monitoring Well data then must be examined to determine if the Mitigation Site experienced saturation (within 12 inches of the surface) or inundation for at least 33 consecutive days during the 2011 Growing Season when the average climatic conditions occurred To assist in answering these issues, we prepared the charts contained in Exhibit 4 of this Report The charts in Exhibit 4 of this Report show the following data 1 The column labeled "Date" shows the date of the measurements 2 The column labeled "Rain Measured at Site" shows the rainfall data as manually measured on a daily basis at the Mitigation Site at the same time that the monitoring wells were being checked The Ram data shown for August 27 is the rain data measured at the site as of the morning of August 28, 2011, and the rain data for August 28, 2011 is the ram data measured at the site later in the day when the monitoring wells were measured Although the rain for both of those periods exceeded the 5 inch accurate measurement capacity of the measurement instrument each tune, 5 inches is shown in the charts for those dates The column labeled "Rain Per NC CRONOS" shows the Daily Precipitation by Day data published by the State Climate Office of North Carolina for Station KNJM - Bogue Field MCALF, in Bogue, North Carolina, except for August 27 through August 31, 2011, when the site was not reporting due to Hurricane Irene For those days, the data from Morehead City 2WNW, in Morehead City, North Carolina was used 4 The column labeled "Normal Rainfall" is the Normal Precipitation by Day based on 1971 to 2000 climate records as published by the State Climate Office of North Carolina for the period of March 14 to November 30 for Station 315830 - Morehead City 2WNW, in Morehead City, North Carolina 7 We then compiled the daily data contained in the charts in Exhibit 4 into the chart below where 1 The column labeled "Month" shows the month during the Growing Season 2 The column labeled "Actual Rainfall Measured at Mitigation Site" shows the total rainfall measured for the month at the Mitigation Site (subject to the recognition that the total amount shown for August probably is short due to the measurement instrument capacity of 5 inches) 3 The column labeled "Historic Normal Rainfall" shows the monthly total of the rainfall during the month based on the "Normal Rainfall" reported by the State Climate Office of North Carolina 4 The column labeled "Actual Rainfall Measured by the Weather Service" shows the monthly total of the Daily Precipitation by Day data published by the State Climate Office of North Carolina for Station KNJM - Bogue Field MCALF, in Bogue, North Carolina except for the five days in August where the data from Morehead City 2WNW, in Morehead City, North Carolina was used due to Humcane Irene The column labeled "Difference" shows the "Actual Rainfall Measured at Mitigation Site" less the corresponding "Historic Normal Rainfall " Month Actual Rainfall Measured at Mitigation Site Historic Normal Rainfall Actual Rainfall Measured by the Weather Service Difference March 14 - 31 060 235 074 -1 75 April 270 294 1 57 -024 May 220 466 069 -246 June 240 404 220 -164 July 220 594 160 -374 August 13 10 755 1324 5 55 September 490 647 748 -157 October 360 436 254 -076 November 220 407 192 -1 87 Totals 3390 4238 3198 -848 0 The above chart shows that Emerald Isle sustained above average rainfall in August and below average rainfall in the other months However, the overall difference for the entire growing season was only approximately twenty (20) percent, and considering that the "average climatic conditions" is compnsed of numerous years of data with some above average and some below average, the twenty percent variation for 2011 is not that large Furthermore, although excess rain in a growing season could indicate that a mitigation site is a wetlands when in fact it is not a wetlands during a normal growing season, the reverse is not true and having a mitigation site meet the hydrologic requirements for a wetlands when the rainfall is less than the normal amount (as in this case) does indicate that the area would meet the hydrologic requirements during a normal rain season Accordingly, the 2011 growing season as a whole meets the "average climatic conditions" requirement An analysis of the monitoring well data for the 2011 growing season for the Mitigation Site shows that the Mitigation Site experienced saturation (within 12 inches of the surface) or inundation for at least 33 consecutive days Consequently, the Mitigation Site met all of the parameters of the Hydrology Success Criteria The monitoring wells reports for the 2011 growing season show the following Monitoring Well A met the criteria 199 days of the growing season This included one period beginning in March of 95 consecutive days where the soil was saturated at a depth of less than 12 inches from the surface or the soil was inundated with water and a second period beginning in August of 95 consecutive days where the soil was saturated at a depth of less than 12 inches from the surface or the soil was inundated with water 2 Monitoring Well B met the cntena 195 days of the growing season This included one period beginning in March of 93 consecutive days where the soil was saturated at a depth of less than 12 inches from the surface or the soil was inundated with water and a second penod beginning in August of 95 consecutive days where the soil was saturated at a depth of less than 12 inches from the surface or the soil was inundated with water Based on the monitoring well data, the Mitigation Site met the Hydrology Success Cntena for the 2011 Growing Season and is a wetlands under the Hydrology Success Criteria X VEGETATION Vegetation Success Criteria Project specifications require that we establish wetlands vegetation in the Mitigation Site similar to the vegetation in adjacent natural wetlands areas for the Mitigation Site to be deemed to meet the Vegetation Success Criteria The Mitigation Site was planted with Lizard's Tail (Saururus cemuus), Rush (Juncaceae), Red Maple (Acer rubrum), Button Bush (Cephalanthus occidentalis), Wax Myrtle (Mynca cenfera), Swamp Loosestnfe (Decodon verticillatus), Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum), and Sweetbay Magnolia (Magnolia virgimana) in 2008 We specifically did not plant any Common Cattail (Typha Latifolia) in the Mitigation Site With the Mitigation Site being small in size (approximately 4,164 59 square feet), the vegetation may be monitored with a simple visual inspection of the Mitigation Site The Mitigation Site was visually inspected in May and July of 2011 Photographs 1 - 10 in Exhibit 5 were taken in May and Photographs 11 - 16 in Exhibit 5 were taken in July As shown by the photographs, the wetlands vegetation in the Mitigation Site is thriving Photographs 1 through 5 in Exhibit 5 when viewed together comprise a panoramic view of the Mitigation Site, with Photograph 1 showing the far western side of the Mitigation Site and Photographs 2 through 5 stepping eastward to the far eastern side of the Mitigation Site Photograph 6 in Exhibit 5 shows one of the Bald Cypress in the Mitigation Site Photograph 7 in Exhibit 5 shows that without the metal stakes delineating the Mitigation Site from the natural wetlands, it would be difficult to tell the two apart Photograph 8 in Exhibit 5 shows one of the Swamp Loosestnfe in the Mitigation Site Photograph 9 in Exhibit 5 shows a Wax Myrtle in the Mitigation Site Photograph 10 in Exhibit 5 shows another of the Bald Cypress in the Mitigation Site Photographs 11 through 14 in Exhibit 5 show general overviews of the Mitigation Site with Photograph 11 showing the far western side of the Mitigation Site and Photographs 12 through 14 stepping eastward to the far eastern side of the Mitigation Site The photographs show that the original plantings of Common Rush, Swamp Loosestnfe, Wax Myrtle, and Bald Cypress continue to show a high survival rate and that other wetlands plants are naturally propagating into the site, including Common Cattail The photographs show that the Mitigation Site is doing well and looks like the natural wetlands it adjoins The wetlands plants continue to survive and grow and natural propagation is continuing The Mitigation Site has become indistinguishable from the natural wetlands it adjoins and has become an established wetlands 10 The Wetlands Indicator Status for some of the plants shown in the photographs is as follows Plant Name Type Wetland Indicator Status Rush Rush FACW -OBL (Juncaceae) Wax Myrtle Shrub FAC+ (M ca cenfera) Bald Cypress Tree OBL (Taxodium distichum) Common Cattail Herb OBL (T ha Latifolia) Swamp Loosestnfe Shrub OBL (Decodon verticillatus) The Vegetation Success Criteria has been met by the survival and growth of many of the wetlands plants that were planted in the Mitigation Site in 2008 and by the natural propagation of other wetlands plants that is occurring All indications are that the good survival and growth rate and the natural propagation will continue CONCLUSION The Mitigation Site is doing well The Mitigation Site met the Hydrology Success Criteria and the Vegetation Success Criteria in 2011 The Mitigation Site has become an established wetlands, and no further monitoring is necessary 11 REFERENCE MATERIALS 1 Technical Standard for Water -
