1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY/PROJECT ABSTRACT
This report describes annual monitoring at the Terrible Creek Buffer Restoration Site (Site), which was
designed specifically to assist in fulfilling North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP)
restoration goals This report (compiled based on EEP's Procedural Guidance and Content Requirements
for EEP Monitoring Reports Version 1 4 dated 11/7/11) summarizes data for year 5 (2012) monitoring
The primary goals of this buffer restoration project focused on reforestation of the floodplain with native
species to
1) improve water quality,
2) enhance flood attenuation,
3) reduce sedimentation/siltation,
4) increase channel bank stability,
5) filter and reduce pollutants prior to entering Terrible Creek,
6) serve as a wildlife corridor by providing connectivity to forested areas adjacent to the Site,
7) provide increased habitat for aquatic and terrestrial wildlife,
8) increase organic matter, carbon export, and woody debris in the stream corridor,
9) restore shade to Site open waters, and
10) enhance characteristic macroinvertebrate species populations in the channel
The Site is located approximately 1 mile northeast of Willow Spring and 4 miles northeast of Fuquay-
Varma, in Wake County This portion of Wake County is located within Neuse River Basin Cataloging
Unit 03020201120010 (Figure 1, Appendix A) This document details annual monitoring results for
riparian buffer restoration on the 47 84 -acre Site, which resulted in a total of 45 6 acres of riparian buffer
restoration The Site is protected by a permanent conservation easement held by the State of North
Carolina This project was instituted prior to October 11, 2007 and therefore is eligible for riparian buffer
restoration credit up to 200 feet from the top of bank of all perennial and intermittent waterways within
the Site
Sixteen vegetation plots (10 meters by 10 meters) were installed within the Site after planting was
completed An average density of 320 stems per acre of Character Tree Species must be surviving after
five monitoring years in accordance with North Carolina Division of Water Quality Administrative Code
15A NCAC 02B 0242 ( Neuse River Basin, Mitigation Program for Protection and Maintenance of
Existing Riparian Buffers) (NCDWQ 2007) Based on the number of stems counted, average densities
were measured at 496 planted stems per acre surviving in year 5 (2012) When considering hardwood
tree species only and no shrub species average densities were measured at 455 planted tree stems per acre
surviving in year 5 (2012) The dominant species identified at the Site were planted stems of cherrybark
oak (Quercus pagoda), swamp chestnut oak (Quercus michauxii), river birch (Betula nigra), and common
buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentaks) In summary, the Site achieved success criteria for vegetation in
the Fifth Monitoring Year (2012)
Woody vegetation immediately adjacent to Terrible Creek and planted willow livestakes declined
drastically throughout the monitoring years, therefore, EEP replanted portions of the easement on February
9, 2012 and April 29, 2012 Areas planted on February 9, 2012 included Zone 1 adjacent to Terrible Creek (top of
bank to 30 feet, shown in dark pink and yellow on Figure 3, Appendix A), which was planted with approximately
1596 containerized tree stems and 350 hvestakes Additionally, areas between vegetation plots 2 -3 and vegetation
Terrible Creek (Final) Axiom Environmental, Ina Monitoring Year 5 of 5 (2012)
EEP Project Number 134 August 2012
Wake County, North Carolina Page 1

plots 9 -10 were planted with approximately 654 tree stems (shown in lime green on Figure 3, Appendix A) Newly
planted containerized trees appear to be thriving Livestakes have sprouted on four outerbends (depicted
in yellow on Figure 3, Appendix A), the remainder of livestakes have not yet sprouted All replanted
trees and livestakes will be reevaluated after completion of the 2012 growing season Planted species and
quantities of each are as follows
Livestakes (planted on February 9, 2012)
175 black willow, Salix nigra
175 silky dogwood, Cornus amomum
TOTAL 350 Livestakes
Containerized Trees (planted on February 9, 2012)
361 green ash, Fraxinus pennsylvanica
235 overcup oak, Quercus lyrata
623 river birch, Betula nigra
100 shumard oak, Quercus shumardu
820 willow oak, Quercus phellos
111 yellow poplar, Drodendron tulipifera
TOTAL 2250 Containenzed Trees
On April 29, 2012 Bruton Natural Services performed an additional replant on the far eastern braid of
Terrible Creek that flows north Areas were planted with 150 five- gallon containerized trees (4 -6 feet in
height) in Zone 1 adjacent to Terrible Creek (top of bank to 30 feet, shown in orange on Figure 3,
Appendix A) and 250 lives stakes on both banks of Terrible Creek Planted species and quantities of each
are as follows
Livestakes (planted on April 29, 2012)
250 black willow, Salix nigra
TOTAL 250 Livestakes
Containerized Trees (planted on April 29, 2012)
30 green ash, Fraxinus pennsylvanica
30 river birch, Betula nigra
30 swamp chestnut oak, Quercus michauxii
30 willow oak, Quercus phellos
30 sycamore, Platanus occidentahs
TOTAL 150 Containerized Trees
Approximately 430 linear feet of outerbend within the Site shows some sign of bank sloughing/erosion or
reduced integrity However, when compared to preconstruction conditions the issue areas have not
worsened and in general, the stream channel as a whole is trending toward more stable conditions Cut
banks tend to be relatively low (3 -4 feet in height) and are associated with point /side bars that suggest the
u cross- sectional area is not increasing Bank pins were installed on two outerbends ([outerbend 13 and
outerbend 24] depicted as green stars on Figure 3, Appendix A) in January 2011 and were subsequently
monitored in February 2012 and August 2012 Measurements indicated approximately 12 inches of
sloughing from January 2011 to February 2012 Only one bank pin was found in August 2012 due to
heavy herbaceous vegetation, this pin indicated minimal changes going from 4 inches of exposure in
February 2012 to approximately 5 inches of exposure in August 2012 Bank pins will need to be
reevaluated during the winter when herbaceous vegetation has died back and pins are easier to identify

Visual observation of the entire reach of Terrible Creek reveals very good in- stream habitat diversity
including the following
I Large woody debris
2 Log sills
3 Undercut banks with root masses
4 Fine organic material (leaf packs and sticks)
5 Deep pools in bends
6 Coarse gravel (often associated with large wood or old dams)
7 Cobble inputs from channel bounded by a steep valley wall
Several small beaver dams located in the northern portion of the Site were removed in August 2009
(Appendix D), the larger dam located Just off -site was not removed because it is not located on the State's
easement and remains in place to date Beaver dams located within the Site were mapped on January 28,
2011 and subsequently removed (Appendix D)
Summary information and data related to the occurrence of items such as beaver or encroachment and
statistics related to performance of various project and monitoring elements can be found in table and
figures within this report's appendices Narrative background and supporting information formerly found
in these reports can be found in the mitigation and restoration plan documents available on EEPs website
All raw data supporting the tables and figures in the appendices is available from EEP upon request
2.0 METHODOLOGY
Sixteen vegetation plots (10 meters by 10 meters) were installed within the Site after planting was
completed as depicted on Figure 2 (Current Conditions Plan View) in Appendix A These plots were
surveyed in August 2012 for the 2012 (year 5) monitoring season using the CPS -EEP Protocol for
Recording Vegetation, Version 4 2 CVS -EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation, Version 4 0, Levels 1
and 2 Plot Sampling Only (Lee et al 2008) (http / /cvs bio unc edu/methods htm), results are included in
Appendix C The taxonomic standard for vegetation used for this document was Flora of the Carolinas,
Virginia, Georgia, and Surrounding Areas (Weakley 2007)
