Project Setting and Background Summary
A 20 25 -acre conservation easement has been placed on the Site to incorporate all restoration activities The Site contains 5 0 acres of hydnc soils, two first -order unnamed tnbutanes (UTs) to
Contrary Swamp (Northern UT and Southern UT), associated floodplan, and upland slopes The purpose of this project was to restore stable pattern, dimension, and profile to the UTs, restore
hydrology to drained nonnverme wetlands, and revegetate streams, floodplams, wetlands, and upland slopes within the Site The contributing watershed is characterized pnmanly by agricultural
row crop production and pine plantation/forest land Preproject Site conditions consisted of agricultural row crop production Land use modifications including the removal of npanan
vegetation, straightening and dredging of stream channels, and ditching of floodplan wetlands resulted in degraded water quality and unstable channel characteristics (stream entrenchment,
erosion, and bank collapse)
Seventeen vegetation plots (10 -10 meters by 10 meters and 7 -20 meters by 5 meters in size) were established and permanently monumented Overall, vegetative performance has been relatively
successful through the momtonng period Site vegetation plots were surveyed in June 2012 for the Year 5 (2012) monitoring season Based on the number of stems counted, average densities
were measured at 790 planted stems per acre surviving in Year 5 (2012) In addition, each individual plot met success criteria The dominant species identified at the Site were planted stems of
silky dogwood (Corpus amomum), American elm (Ulmus americana), green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), overcup oak (Quercus lyrata), cherrybark oak (Quercus pagoda), and swamp chestnut
oak (Quercus michauxaa), and natural recruits of red maple (Acer rubrum) No vegetation problem areas were noted during the monitoring period
Twenty cross - sections and longitudinal profiles within five 600 -foot reaches were measured throughout the momtonng period As a whole, monitoring measurements indicate minimal changes
in both the longitudinal profile and cross - sections as compared to as -built data The channel geometry compares favorably with the emulated, stable E/C type stream reach as set forth in the
detailed mitigation plan and as constructed Current monitoring has demonstrated dimension, pattern, and profile were stable over the course of the momtonng period No stream problem areas
were noted during Year 5 (2012) monitoring
Two onsite groundwater gauges and one reference groundwater gauge were maintained throughout the monitoring period Groundwater gauge 1 was inundated /saturated within 12 inches of the
surface for greater than 12 5 percent of the growing season for three out of the five monitoring years, despite severe drought during the majority of the monitoring period Groundwater gauge 2
made success criteria all five years The reference gauge exhibited a downward trend throughout the 5 year monitoring period ranging from 17 1 percent of the growing season in year two to 3 7
percent of the growing season in year 4 and appears to have malfunctioned measuring 0 days of saturation for the Year 5 (2012) monitoring season No onsite wetland problem areas were noted
Goals and Objectives
The pnmary goals of this stream and wetland restoration project focused on improving water quality, decreasing floodwater levels, and restoring aquatic and npanan habitat These goals were
accomplished by
• Reducing nonpoint sources of pollution associated with agricultural land uses by providing a forested buffer adjacent to streams to treat surface runoff
• Reestablishing stream stability and the capacity to transport watershed flows and sediment loads by restoring stable dimension, pattern, and profile
• Promoting floodwater attenuation by,excavatmg a floodplam at a new bankfull elevation, restoring a secondary, entrenched tributary thereby reducing floodwater velocities within smaller
catchment basins, increasing storage capacity for floodwaters within the Site limits, and revegetating floodplams to increase frictional resistance on floodwaters
• Improving aquatic habitat by enhancing stream bed variability, restoring a riffle -pool complex, and by incorporating grade control/habitat structures
Page 2 of 49

• Providing wildlife habitat including a forested riparian corridor within an area highly dissected by agricultural land uses
Primary activities at the Site included 1) stream restoration, 2) wetland restoration, 3) soil scarification, and 4) plant community restoration Table 1 describes the Site restoration structures and
objectives, which have provided 5004 Stream Mitigation Units (SMUs) and 5 0 Nonnvenne Wetland Mitigation Units (WMUs)
• Restored 5004 linear feet of two unnamed tributaries to Contrary Swamp (Northern UT and Southern UT) by constructing moderately sinuous, E -type channels on new location
• Restored 5 0 acres of nonrrivenne wetland within the interstream flat filling ditches, removing elevated spoil, thereby reestablishing historic water table elevations
• Reforested approximately 20 05 acres of floodplain, stream bank, upland slopes, and nonriverme wetlands with native forest species
Success Criteria
Vegetation Success criteria have been established to verify that the vegetation component supports community elements necessary for forest development Success criteria are dependent upon the density and
growth of characteristic forest species Additional success criteria are dependent upon density and growth of "Characteristic Tree Species " Characteristic Tree Species include planted species, species identified
through inventory of a reference (relatively undisturbed) forest community used to orient the planting plan, and appropriate Schafale and Weakley (1990) community descriptions (Coastal Plain Small Stream
Swamp and Nonriverine Wet Hardwoods Forest) All canopy tree species planted and identified in the reference forest will be utilized to define "Characteristic Tree Species" as termed in the success criteria
Success criteria dictate that an average density of 320 stems per acre of Character Tree Species must be surviving in the first three monitoring years Subsequently, 290 Character Tree Species per acre must be
surviving in year 4 and 260 Character Tree Species per acre in year 5
Stream Success criteria for stream restoration will include 1) successful classification of the reach as a functioning stream system (Rosgen 1996) and 2) channel variables indicative of a stable stream system
The channel configuration will be measured on an annual basis in order to track changes in channel geometry and profile These data will be utilized to determine the success in restoring stream channel stability
Specifically, the width -to -depth ratio should characterize an E -type or borderline E -/C -type channel, bank - height ratios indicative of a stable or moderately unstable channel, and minimal changes in cross -
sectional area, channel width, and/or bank erosion along the monitoring reach In addition, channel abandonment and/or shoot cutoffs must not occur and sinuosity values must remain relatively constant The
field indicator of bankfull will be described in each monitoring year and indicated on a representative channel cross - section figure If the stream channel is down - cutting or the channel width is enlarging due to
bank erosion, additional bank or slope stabilization methods will be employed Stream substrate is not expected to coarsen over time, therefore, pebble counts are not proposed as part of the stream success
criteria Visual assessment of in- stream structures will be conducted to determine if failure has occurred Failure of a structure may be indicated by collapse of the structure, undermining of the structure,
abandonment of the channel around the structure, and/or stream flow beneath the structure
Hydrology Target hydrological characteristics include saturation or inundation for at least 12 5 percent of the growing season within Trebloc soils (nonnverme wetlands), during average climatic conditions This
value is based on DRAINMOD simulations for 62 years of rainfall data in an old field stage These areas are expected to support hydrophytic vegetation If wetland parameters are marginal a jurisdictional
determination will be performed for vegetation and soils in these areas

EEP Recommendation and Conclusion
The Brown Marsh Site has completed 5 years of vegetative, hydrologic, and stream morphologic
monitoring. Stream morphology and vegetative growth appear to have met success criteria.
Wetland hydrologic monitoring has shown a trend towards success even in several years of
drought conditions. Gauge 1 was slightly below success criteria in Year 2010 and 2011 with
11.8 and 10.2 percent of the growing season. These years were characterized by excessive
drought, during which the reference gauge also did not meet success. Given the drought
conditions, the relatively high percentage of the growing season the gauge did make success,
along with three successful years out of five, it would appear that this gauge is located in a
jurisdictional setting.
Contingencies
No contingencies are recommended for this Site.
