EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of Beamon's Run Riparian Wetland and Buffer Restoration project is to improve water
quality by providing a more ecologically effective and efficient npanan buffer The establishment and
protection of a vegetated buffer along the floodplain of any stream provides a number of benefits, which
include streambank stability from mature root systems, in- stream shade from the overhanging leaf
canopy, organic detntus that fuels food chains, habitat and travel comdors for native wildlife species, and
filtenng of sediments and other potential pollutants from surface and subsurface flow (NCSRI, 2003) The
natural riparian buffer along the project's section of Beamon's Run had been disturbed by past
agncultural practices and portions of it had been used as a tire dump The tires and associated debns were
removed and the buffer was planted with native wetland species to restore functionality to the buffer The
pnmary objective of the project was to protect and improve water quality by removing and transforming
pollutants with buffers and wetlands
The goals as listed in the NC Wetlands Restoration Program (WRP) Project Summary were to
1 Restore agncultural land to npanan buffer to increase removal of nutnents
2 Improve wildlife habitat
The conservation easement of the project is made up of two tracts Tract A encompasses 47 53 acres
along the right bank of Beamon's Run (including a 2 11 acre open pit area), Tract B encompasses 32 38
acres along the left bank of Contentnea Creek Beamon's Run is a warm water stream in the Neuse River
Basin of the Coastal Plain region in Greene County, North Carolina Site investigation and design
services were provided by PBS &J, Inc The records available at this time indicated that construction and
the bulk of the planting at the site occurred over the winter of 2000 Using the 2000 as -built plan, areas
that did not appear to contain any of the planted species, were outside the 200' buffer limit, or exhibited a
much older mature plant community were excluded from the monitonng effort Based on the revised
areas, the project consists of 10 001 acres of Neuse River npanan buffer restoration, 195 feet of
streambank stabilization, and 0 15 acres of wetland restoration
No monitonng plan was ongixly prepared for this site and no monitonng program began at this site
when construction was completed NCSU staff from the Biological and Agncultural Engineenng
Department and the Water Resources Research Institute made an initial monitonng visit on October 14,
2003 They compiled the first monitonng report submitted in March of 2004 In 2009, Stantec began
monitonng the site's vegetation Momtonng in 2012 revealed that 6 of the 12 plots (50 %) of plots meet
planted success requirements, however, 92% of the plots have >320 planted and volunteer native
hardwood stems per acre It is difficult to discern the exact reasons for poor planted species survival in the
vegetation plots and elsewhere on the site since it has been 12 years since vegetation installation
Dunng the previous monitonng field visit conducted in August 2011, several beaver dams were observed
on -site near vegetation plots 3, 8A, and 12A Despite the presence of the beaver dams no recent signs of
beaver activity were observed in the vegetation plots, in fact areas that previously exhibited extensive
beaver damage have rebounded considerably in 2012 Plants that were resprouting from stumps as well as
numerous small saplings of desired species were observed It was also noted dunng the annual monitonng
that vegetation in areas that had been previously mowed and/or sprayed pnor to 2009 are continuing to

f
regenerate, and additional mowing and/or spraying has not occurred in 2012 There was an ATV path
observed inside the conservation easement between vegetation plots 6 and 5
The annual vegetation monitoring occurred on October 17"', 2012 and found that little change has
occurred since the previous monitoring visit in August 2011 The beaver dams are still in place near
vegetation plots 3, 8A, and 12A with no recent beaver damage in the vegetation plots Wind damage
previously documented in the 2011 monitoring report was still evident particularly in vegetation plot 7
The two planted species affected by a windblown tree have survived and are growing without incident
Common invasive species onsite still include Lespedeza and Japanese honeysuckle but have not expanded
since 2011 and do not seem to be a mayor concern for desirable vegetation establishment Ligustrum
sinense was also observed in 2012 near vegetation plot 2 Lespedeza occurs along the field edges while
Japanese honeysuckle is prevalent across the entire site A few areas, particularly in the eastern portions
of the site, the honeysuckle is dense and could cause problems in the future Currently the invasive
vegetation is not affecting planted woody vegetation It is recommended that the invasive vegetation
continue to be monitored for potential issues in the future
Credit is not being sought for the stream stabilization or wetland restoration conducted for the project
Therefore, as per NCEEP, no stream assessment or hydrologic monitoring took place at the Beamon's
Run Buffer and Wetland Restoration Site
Summary information/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 the tables and
figures in the report appendices Narrative background and supporting information formerly found in
these reports can be found in the Baseline Monitoring Report (formerly Mitigation Plan) and in the
Mitigation Plan (formerly Restoration Plan) documents available on NCEEP's website All raw data
supporting the tables and figures in the appendices is available from NCEEP upon request

1.0 Methodology
Vegetation onsite was first visually assessed to determine the general areas of viable planted vegetation
Using the 2000 as -built plan, areas that did not appear to contain any of the planted species, were outside
the 200' buffer limit, or exhibited a much older mature plant community were excluded from the
monitoring effort These areas are shown on the maps in Appendix B The 200' buffer was taken from the
normal edge of the surface water
Twelve vegetative sample plots were randomly selected using GIS and established within the project
easement in 2009 The plots were quantitatively monitored during the 2012 growing season on October
17`h, 2012 Species composition, density, and survival were observed during the site visit The Carolina
Vegetation Survey (CVS, 2008) methodology was utilized for vegetative monitoring Level 2 (planted
and natural stems) methodology was completed on all monitored plots It must be noted that due to the
age of the planted species, in some plots, it was difficult to distinguish planted species from volunteers
during the 2009 monitoring effort However, best professional judgment along with knowledge of project
planting zones by species enabled vegetation data to be collected The planted vegetation zones included
oak mix, longleaf pine, river birch, and cypress
The vegetative success criteria are based on the North Carolina rule 15A NCAC 213 0242 Neuse River
Basin Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy Mitigation Program for Protection and
Maintenance of Existing Riparian Buffers (2000) The final vegetative success criteria will be the survival
of 320 planted native hardwood stems per acre after 5 years As per NCEEP, the cypress wetland area was
only monitored for vegetation within the 200' riparian buffer, and not wetland hydrology Streams were
also not monitored as part of this project
Beginning in 2011 under new guidance from NCEEP, softwood trees are no longer included in woody
stem counts for planted and volunteer species
