EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Restoration Systems, LLC completed riparian buffer restoration at the Heath Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site (hereafter referred to as the "Site ") through the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) Full Delivery Process (RFP 16- 001383) to provide 59.45 Riparian Buffer Mitigation Units. The Site is located approximately 3.4 miles southeast of Dover in Craven County within. United States Geological Survey Hydrologic Unit and Targeted Local Watershed 03020202080010 (North Carolina Division of Water Quality Subbasin 03- 04 -08) of the Neuse River Basin. Site streams drain to Core Creek (Stream Index 27 -90), which is included on the draft 2008 303(d) list for impaired biological integrity and low dissolved oxygen resulting from agricultural crop production. Prior to construction, the Site was characterized by ditched agricultural land used for row crop production. Land use practices including the maintenance and removal of vegetation, regular plowing, and use of agricultural chemicals had resulted in degraded water quality. The goals and objectives of this project focused on improving local water quality, enhancing flood attenuation, and restoring aquatic and riparian habitat. These goals were accomplished by the following. 1. Removing nonpoint sources of pollution associated with agriculture production by a) ceasing the application of agricultural herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers, and other agricultural materials into and adjacent to Site ditches and open waterways and b) providing a vegetative buffer adjacent to ditches and waterways to treat surface runoff that may be laden with sediment and/or agricultural pollutants. 2. Reducing sedimentation/siltation within on -Site and downstream receiving waters by a) increasing retention time for surface waters entering and leaving the Site, b) reducing erosion associated with vegetation maintenance and agricultural plowing to Site ditches, and c) planting a forested vegetative buffer adjacent to Site ditches and waterways. 3. Promoting floodwater attenuation by ripping compacted soils and revegetating the Site to increase frictional resistance on floodwaters crossing the Site. 4. Providing terrestrial wildlife habitat including a forested riparian corridor within an area that was previously cleared and highly dissected by agricultural land use. This project was constructed in late winter /early spring 2010. Planting of the entire 60.632 -acre Site resulted in 59.45 Riparian Buffer Mitigation Units. The Site will be protected by a permanent conservation easement. As a whole, the densities of vegetation plots across the Site were above the required 320 stems per acre with an average of 837 planted stems per acre in the Second Monitoring Year (2011). In addition, each individual plot met success criteria based on planted stems alone.

(hereafter referred to as the "Site ") through the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) Full Delivery Process (RFP 16- 001383) to provide 59 45 Riparian Buffer Mitigation Units The Site is located approximately 3 4 miles southeast of Dover in Craven County (Figure 1, Appendix A) The Site is located in United States Geological Survey Hydrologic Unit and Targeted Local Watershed 03020202080010 (North Carolina Division of Water Quality Subbasin 03 -04 -08) of the Neuse River Basin (USGS 1974) Directions to the Site from Kinston, North Carolina ➢ Take 70 East for approximately 8 miles ➢ Take the Dover exit and follow Old 70/Wilson Street for approximately 4 3 miles east Turn right over the railroad tracks to wire gate ➢ Site coordinates o Latitude 35 19627N, Longitude 77

Providing terrestrial wildlife habitat including a forested riparian corridor within an area that was previously cleared and highly dissected by agricultural land use 13 Project Structure, Restoration Type, and Approach Prior to construction, the Site was characterized by ditched agricultural land used for row crop production Land use practices including the maintenance and removal of vegetation, regular plowing, and use of agricultural chemicals had resulted in degraded water quality As constructed, Site activities restored histonc nparian buffer functions by planting the entire 60 632 -acre Site with native ripanan vegetation This resulted in 59 45 Ripanan Buffer Mitigation Units (Table 1, Appendix B and Figure 2, Appendix A) Approximately 0 632 acres of the Site is surface water associated with Site ditches and 0 55 acres of the Site received no credit due to diffuse flow requirements These areas were planted, however, the area is not eligible to provide credit The target natural community consisted of Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwood Forest (Schafale and Weakley 1990) Table 5 (Appendix C) outlines Annual Monitoring Report Pagel Heath Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site (EEP Contract Number 002280) woody species planted within the Site Completed project activities, reporting history, completion dates, project contacts, and background information are summarized in Tables 24 (Appendix B) 20 MONITORING PLAN Monitoring of Site restoration efforts will be performed for vegetation components of the Site for five years or until success criteria are fulfilled After planting was completed, an initial evaluation was performed to verify planting methods were successful and to determine imtial species composition and density Twenty- nine sample vegetation plots (10 -meter by 10- meter) were installed within the Site as per guidelines established in CVS -EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation, Version 4 0 (Lee et al 2006) In each sample plot, vegetation parameters to be monitored include species composition and species density Visual observations of the percent cover of shrub and herbaceous species will also be documented by photograph 21 Vegetation Success Cnteria Characteristic Tree Species include woody tree and shrub species planted at the Site (Table 5, Appendix C) or outlined for the appropriate plant community in Schafale and Weakley (1990) An average density of 320 stems per acre of Characteristic Tree Species must be surviving after year 5 monitoring 22 Maintenance and Contingency In the event that success criteria are not fulfilled, a mechanism for contingency will be implemented If vegetation success criteria are not achieved based on average density calculations from combined plots over the entire restoration area, supplemental planting may be performed with tree species approved by regulatory agencies Supplemental planting will be performed as needed until achievement of vegetation success criteria 23 Vegetation Sampling Results and Comparison to Success Criteria Quantitative sampling of vegetation was conducted in August 2011 Results are provided in Appendix C Vegetation success criteria for year 2 (320 stems per acre) were exceeded for the 2011 annual monitoring year with an average density of 837 planted stems per acre across the Site In addition, each individual plot met success criteria based on planted stems alone Average densities of planted stems went up in year 2 in several plots including Plots 1, 3 -5, 8, and 10 -11 During year 1, browse by deer and rodents on young planted stems was abundant throughout the Site Several stems within these plots were not counted, or counted as missing in year 1, however, many survived and were doing well in year 2 In addition, several stems that were thought to be dead dunng year 1 monitoring resprouted from the base and were counted during year 2 monitoring Deer browse was prevalent again during year 2 monitoring 30 CONCLUSIONS As a whole, the densities of vegetation plots across the Site were above the required 320 stems per acre in year 1 -2 (2010 -2011) In addition, each individual plot met success criteria based on planted stems alone
