Protect Sethn2 and Backeround Summa
A 20 25 -acre conservation easement has been placed on the Site to incorporate all restoration activities The Site contains 5 0 acres of hydric soils, two first -order unnamed tributaries (UTs) to
Contrary Swamp (Northern UT and Southern UT), associated floodplain, and upland slopes The purpose of this project was to restore stable pattern, dimension, and profile to the UTs, restore
hydrology to drained nonrrverme wetlands, and revegetate streams, floodplams, wetlands, and upland slopes within the Site The contributing watershed is characterized primarily 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 riparian
vegetation, straightening and dredging of stream channels, and ditching of floodplam 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 monitoring 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 (Cornus amomum), American elm (Ulmus americana), green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), overcup oak (Quercus lyrata), cherrybark oak (Quercus pagoda), and swamp chestnut
oak (Quercus michauxii), and natural recruits of red maple (Ater rubrum) One vegetation problem area was noted during Year 5 monitoring along the southern perimeter of the Site (see Figure
1) it appears that someone encroached into the easement and cleared some of the vegetation within this area Carolina Silvics replanted the area on December 11, 2012 with 40, 3- gallon
sweetbay magnolias (Magnolia virginiana)
Twenty cross - sections and longitudinal profiles within five 600 -foot reaches were measured throughout the monitoring 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 monitoring 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 Obiectives
The primary goals of this stream and wetland restoration project focused on improving water quality, decreasing floodwater levels, and restoring aquatic and riparian habitat These goals were
accomplished by
• Reducing nonpomt 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
Page 2 of 40

• Promoting floodwater attenuation by,excavating 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
• 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 Nonriverme 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 nonriverine wetland within the interstream flat filling ditches, removing elevated spoil, thereby reestablishing historic water table elevations
• Reforested approximately 20 05 acres of floodplam, 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 Nonriverme 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 cnteria
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 m- 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 (nonriverme 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
118 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
EEP recommends closure of the Brown Marsh Site at 5004 SMUs and 5 WMUs
Contingencies
No contingencies are recommended for this Site

APPENDIX A - Watershed Planning Summary
92517- Brown Marsh Swamp
The Brown Marsh Swamp project is located in Catalog Unit (CU) 03040204 and Hydrologic
Unit (HUC) 03040204037010 (Mitchell Swamp watershed) and is listed as a Targeted Local
Watershed (TLW) in the 2008 Lumber River Basin Restoration Priority Plan (RBRP)
(http //portal ncdenr org/web /eep /rbrps /lumber) The project is in Robeson County on the border
of South Carolina approximately 3 miles southeast of the Town of Rowland
Streams in this CU make up the headwaters of the Little Pee Dee River The City of Laurmburg
and the Town of Maxton are the largest urban areas and dischargers in this region According to
the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ), water quality in this watershed has been stable since
2001 There are no streams on the 303(d) list of impaired waters Restoration goals for this
catalog unit include buffering waterways and implementation of stormwater and agricultural
BMPs
This HUC is a combination of mostly agricultural and forest lands with 64% in agricultural uses
The contributing watershed is mainly in row crop production and pine plantation/forest land
Prior to the implementation of this project the site itself was in row crop production and had
experienced riparian buffer removal, ditching and stream straightening This is the only project
thus far in the 03040204 CU
As stated in the monitoring reports for this project, the goals and objectives for the Brown Marsh
Swamp project are
1 Improving water quality
2 Decreasing floodwater levels
3 Restoring aquatic and riparian habitat
These goals were accomplished by
• Reducing nonpomt 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,
• excavating a floodplain at a new bankfull elevation,
• restonng a secondary, entrenched tributary thereby reducing floodwater velocities
within smaller catchment basins,
• increasing storage capacity for floodwaters within the project site limits, and
• revegetatmg 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
• Providing wildlife habitat including a forested riparian corridor within an area highly
dissected by agricultural land uses
Restoration of this channel to a stable stream will help to improve biological integrity of the
system, reduce energy of the stream, reduce erosion and increase habitat Reforestation of the
site will help to improve aquatic and terrestrial habitats, increase nutrient filtration capacity,
manage flow velocity and stabilize the streambanks
