WRP Easement #: 66453207004K2
BACKGROUND
The Privateer Farm, easement 66453207004K2, was enrolled in the Wetland Reserve Program (WRP) in 2007. The
tract is bisected by Cumberland and Bladen Counties, approximately 16 miles from Fayetteville, North Carolina.
The easement is approximately 3,317 acres and located within the USGS Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC)
03030005010 which lies within the Cape Fear River Basin. The site is bordered to the south by a Boy Scout Camp;
east by Bushy Lake State Natural Area; north and west by farm land (see Appendix Map 01 for the Overall Site
Map).
The site lies within an area of North Carolina that is dominated by Carolina Bays in the upper coastal plain.
There are four of these bays located within the easement, three have been significantly manipulated and the
fourth has been altered slightly. Prior to an easement being placed on the property the farm had approximately
1,500 acres of tillable land and 40 poultry barns. The site had drainage infrastructure implemented during the
mid to late 1970s and early 1980s; it is expected that the Farm Bill of 1984 is what stopped the draining and
clearing activities. This drainage infrastructure included two perimeter ditches along the east and west portion of
the property and also had two canals through the center of the farm. The average dimensions of these canals are
20 foot wide by 6 foot depth; throughout the year average depth of flow is approximately one (1) foot. During the
2011 hydro period NRCS observed flows less than six (6) inches within some of the drainage network; also during
larger rain events a flow depth of five (5) foot have been observed. Prior to the site being drained NRCS staff
members have documented that site was comprised of a multi- threaded stream, hardwood swamp forest. It is
believed these streams had varying depths from approximately four to six (4 -6) inches and as deep as twelve (12)
inches within the shallow sections. The streams had varying bed profile having very shallow sometimes
relatively steep flow (given the valley falls one foot in a mile) areas and deep pools created from wind thrown
logs or debris jambs. Several former NRCS employees who lived in the area noted large Bald Cypress (Taxodium
distichum) and Atlantic White Cedar (Chamaecyparis thyoides) within the area that grown men couldn't reach
around. One of the goals of the project is to restore this habitat back to the pre- disturbed condition; however,
other properties drain through this network making a complete Rosgen priority I impossible do to hydraulic -
trespass issues.
The site has an adjacent easement (approximately 430 acres) on the overall tract (approximately 5,600 acres) held
by North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Umbrella Bank. The restoration consists of filling an
existing main farm drainage way and completing a stream restoration project.
The easement based on historic topography from USGS QUAD maps (Jerome, Durant, Roseboro 1959) and visual
reports from NRCS staff (who view the site prior, during, and after drainage) is comprised of a multi- threaded
channel stream network and several Carolina Bays. See Appendix Map 02 for the Historic Topography Map.
Based on eye - witness accounts the site review the sand hills where dominated by Longleaf Pines ( Pinus palustrus)
and the wetlands where dominated by Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum), Hardwoods (Oak, Green Ash, Sweet
Gum, Red Maple) and, Atlantic White Cedar (Chamaecyparis thyoides). The predominate soil ( >80 %) on the site is
Croatan Muck which has the following characteristics (NRCS Soil Survey):

According to the State Soil Scientist Croatan is designated as a rarely flooded soil however he stated this should
be changed based on what he has seen within similar landforms. He has observed these soils being between
frequently — flooded and permanently flooded.
In 2009 John Ann Shearer, with the US Fish and Wildlife, performed a field investigation for threatened and
endangered plant species on the tract. Some of the species of concern that the agency identified were: White
Wicky (Kalmia cuneata), Southern Sheepkill (Kalmia caroliniana). These two species are not listed as threatened and
endangered, but are on the North Carolina Watch List of rare plants.

PROJECT GOALS
The purpose of the project is to restore the easement in accordance with NRCS WRP Program Policy and
Guidance which states:
The purpose of WRP is to restore, protect, and enhance wetlands on eligible private or Tribal lands
while maximizing wildlife habitat benefits.
Program Objectives
• Habitat for migratory birds and other wetland - dependent wildlife, including threatened and
endangered species and species of concern.
• Protection and improvement of water quality.
Attenuation of floodwater.
• Recharge of ground water.
• Protection and enhancement of open space and aesthetic quality.
• Protection of native flora and fauna contributing to the Nation's natural heritage.
• Contribution to educational and scientific scholarship.
The wetland, upland, and other habitat components of the WRP area will be restored, as defined
below, to the maximum extent practicable. NRCS will work with the landowner, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (FWS), and other conservation partners to restore the native plant communities and
hydrologic regimes that maximize the habitat benefits for wetland - dependent wildlife in a cost -
effective manner.
■ Definition of Restoration
• The WRP regulation defines restoration as "the rehabilitation of degraded or lost habitat in a
manner such that —
• The original vegetative plant community and hydrology are, to the extent
practicable, reestablished; or
• A community different from what likely existed prior to degradation of the site is
established. The hydrology and native self - sustaining vegetation being established
will substantially replace original habitat functions and values and does not involve
more than 30 percent of the wetland restoration area.
• This flexibility exists to do the following:
• Enable NRCS to assist landowners with meeting their wetland and wildlife habitat
goals.
• Provide for a full array of varying wetland conditions that existed in the local area,
even if they cannot be shown to have existed on a particular site.
• Conduct restoration activities that provide valuable wildlife habitat and wetland
functions in locations where it is impossible to establish the original community or
hydrologic regime.
• Information on historic, original, and alternative communities should be documented to help
inform restoration and enhancement design considerations.
• When at -risk, threatened and endangered, and species of concern or unique, rare, or
declining habitat types are used for ranking purposes, an appropriate extent of the
restoration will be targeted to provide suitable habitat for those species or to restore the
identified habitat types. The restoration of these special- status species habitats and unique
habitat types may be part of the restoration of the original or alternative communities.
As outlined by policy, the goal of the project is to restore the habitat and community to the maximum extent
practical. NRCS staff along with the landowner, US Army Corps of Engineers, NC Wildlife Resource

HYDRAULICS
The hydraulics of the restored stream, proposed culverts, and proposed water control structures were analyzed
for capacity and safety in accordance with the Field Office Technical Guide (FOTG) and then checked for
recurrence intervals exceeding guidance in the FOTG. Listed below are a few of the NRCS standards that have an
aspect within this restoration project.
FOTG — Standard 395 — Stream Habitat Improvement and Management (Job Approval Authority Class I)
Maintain, improve or restore physical, chemical and biological functions of a stream, and its associated
riparian zone, necessary for meeting the life history requirements of desired aquatic species.
Be based on a site - specific assessment of local hydrology, channel morphology, geomorphic setting, fish
and other aquatic species present, riparian and floodplain conditions, and any habitat limitations
including water quantity and quality, food supply, and restriction of upstream and downstream
movement of aquatic species using the NRCS Stream Visual Assessment Protocol, Version 2 or
comparable evaluation tool.
Manage adjoining riparian areas to support a diverse vegetation community suitable for the site
conditions and desired ecological benefits. Such benefits include stream temperature moderation,
recruitment of instream large wood and fine organic matter, input of riparian nutrients, habitat for
terrestrial insects and other riparian dependent species, streambank integrity, and filtration of
contaminants from surface runoff.
Design in- stream structures to be compatible with the dynamic nature of streams and rivers, facilitate
natural geomorphic recovery when possible, and minimize disruption of recreational and other
traditional uses of the stream corridor.
FOTG — Standard 578 — Stream Crossing
Design culverts and bridges consistent with sound engineering principles and adequate for the use, type
of road, or class of vehicle. Design culverts and bridges with sufficient capacity to convey the design flow
and transported material without appreciably altering the stream flow characteristics.
Size culverts to convey flows without overtopping the crossing, or the 2 -yr, 24 -hr peak discharge,
whichever is less. Crossings shall be adequately protected so that out -of -bank flows safely bypass
without damaging the structure or eroding the streambanks or the crossing fill. Additional culverts may
be used at various elevations to maintain terrace or floodplain hydraulics and water surface elevations.
FOTG — Standard 587 — Structure for Water Control (Job Approval Authority Class VI)
Structures shall be designed on an individual job basis, or applicable NRCS standard drawings shall be
adapted to meet site conditions and functional requirements. Each structure shall be designed for the
drainage area it controls.
Culverts and bridges shall be designed in accordance with Stream Crossing, Code 578.
All water control structures that impound water shall be checked for flotation and seepage and shall be
installed as "island" type structures.

WRP Easement #: 66453207004K2
When installed for facilitating restoration or enhancement of wetland hydrology, or facilitating
development or management of shallow water wildlife habitat, the criteria for Wetland Restoration, Code
657, Wetland Enhancement, Code 658, or Shallow Water Development and Management, Code 646, shall
be followed as appropriate to the purpose.
FOTG — Standard 646 — Shallow Water Development and Management
To provide habitat for wildlife such as shorebirds, waterfowl, wading birds, mammals, fish, reptiles,
amphibians and other species that require shallow water for at least a part of their life cycle.
An adequate method for dewatering is required when water levels must be artificially lowered in order
to produce desired habitat condition.
Water levels must be able to be maintained between 1 to 18 inches in depth over the majority of the area
during periods of planned inundation. An exception to this criterion is made for floodplain habitats
connected to stream channels where water depths of up to 6 feet provide habitat for native fish species
that use these habitats during periods of inundation associated with high stream flows.
Criteria for Waterfowl Habitat - Areas planned to provide waterfowl feeding and resting habitat shall be
designed to facilitate gradual flooding of areas containing food plants to an average depth of 6 to 10
inches.
Criteria for Shorebird Habitat - Areas planned to provide shorebird habitat shall have exposed mudflats
and areas with 1 to 4 inches of water during seasonal periods of shorebird use.
FOTG — Standard 657 — Wetland Restoration
Timing and level setting of water control structures, if needed, will be based on the actions needed to
maintain a close approximation of the original, natural hydrologic conditions.
The original natural water supply should be used to reestablish the site's hydrology to approximate the
hydrologic conditions of the wetland type. If this is not possible, an alternate natural or artificial water
supply can be used; however, these sources shall not be diverted from other wetland resources. If the
alternate water source requires energy inputs, these shall be estimated and documented in the restoration
plan.
To the extent technically feasible, reestablish macrotopography and /or microtopography. Use reference
sites within the local area to determine desired topographic relief. The location, size, and geometry of
earthen structures, if needed, shall match that of the original macrotopographic features to the extent
practicable.
The stream was analyzed with empirical methods for plan, pattern, and profile; Hec -RAS to determine upstream
impacts to water surface elevation (pre & post analysis), Hec -RAS for shear strength /stream power analysis, and
reference reach data. The culverts and water control structures where analyzed for inlet & outlet barrel control,
weir flow control, auxiliary spillway flow, and Hec -RAS for culvert sizing.
The existing stream is a straight farm canal that was dug in the mid to late 1970s, currently it would be classified
as a Rosgen 'G5' channel. The goal of this project is to restore the channelized stream to an 'E5' stream
throughout the project, and approximately 1,500 feet of a'D5'. The existing stream has vertical banks and
massive bank wasting; the stream profile has very little riffle pool sequence. The stream has been maintained
over the years as drainage canal, therefore the profile is dug at a uniform slope with vertical banks. Minimal

vegetation is present to support these banks from eroding. The creation of a high width to depth ratio channel,
such as exists downstream and in the reference area, is one of the primary goals of this project.
Reference Reach Empirical Formulas
To calculate stream parameters, NRCS used graduate work performed by Brian Lowther, a student at North
Carolina State University under the direction of Dr. Greg Jennings. The work looked at stream parameters in
reference reach quality streams throughout piedmont and upper coastal plain sites in North Carolina. These
parameters where discretized in order to develop empirical relationships to calculate stream pattern, profile, and
plan relationships. (http: // repository. lib. ncsu .edu /ir/handle/1840.16/1211) Table 1: Reference Reach Empirical Formulas,
summarizes the parameters used to develop the channel characteristics of the stream. These values where
checked against a reference reach in Kelly, North Carolina. The watershed for the reference reach is drastically
larger than the project site's drainage area, however it is one of few streams within this part of the state that has
little drainage infrastructure in place.

To check the stream parameters above, NRCS used graduate work performed by Barbara Doll, a student a North
Carolina State University under the direction of Dr. Greg Jennings. This work examines stream parameters
throughout North Carolinas three regions. The work has been published on the North Carolina Stream
Restoration Programs website for several years and used for design analysis by consultants on thousands of
stream designs. The values for this project are shown in

Based on Brian Lowether's research and reference reach observed conditions, the values calculated from the
rating curves seem to be higher than expected. The rating curve analysis was only used as a check, as it is the
opinion of the design engineer that these values exceed reference conditions. Designing with the values above
would have most likely promoted a lower width -depth ratio stream however it would have been incised based on
local characteristics /observations.
Hec -RAS Pre & Post Water Surface Analysis
Hec -RAS version 4.1.0 and the flow rates reported above were used to develop surface water profiles, and
analyze the possible impact of the restoration project. Cross - sections were developed using LIDAR data and
supplemented with surveyed information collected by NRCS and NCDOT photogrammetry data collected during
the design phase of the EEP project discussed earlier. See the appendix for a detailed output and comparison
table of pre and post restoration analysis.
During the Hec -RAS pre & post analysis, staff completed test runs using various culverts under Privateer Farm
Road. The existing culverts are three 36 inch high density polyethylene culverts. These culverts in the proposed
condition will handle a slightly larger drainage area, therefore resizing was analyzed. The culvert sizes used in
the analysis were: 10' x 3' Box Culvert, 7' x 4' Box Culvert, 10' x 4' Box Culvert, 9' x 4' Box Culvert, 8' x 4' Box
Culvert, and 5' x 4' Box Culvert. There was minimal impact from the various culvert size selected; however in
order to minimize the hydraulic disconnect from upstream to downstream a 7' x 5' box with one foot of natural
bed material was selected. Water surface elevation immediately upstream of the culvert in the design flow is 71.3
ft. The road deck in this location is 75 ft immediately above the pipes and slopes to 72.5 ft towards the east and
west. Therefore, the freeboard of this culvert is approximately 1.2 feet. However with the broad flat nature of the
adjacent floodplain and the infrequent nature of this road being used during a high flow event, it is believed this
is adequate as this is an improvement from the existing infrastructure.
Riser — Barrel Water Control Structure Calculations
Staff analyzed the water control structures for capacity using the flow rates computed from the hydrology section
of this report.
Water Control Structure #01
The water control structure at Big Island Road is used to recreate the largest Carolina Bay on the tract. The
drainage area for the structure will be made up of the former tillable land to the north of the bay and property
just above the northern powerline, approximately 1.5 square miles. From the Cypress Creek Formula this would
yield a design flow rate of 14 cfs. This was analyzed in a spreadsheet model for weir flow, barrel flow, and
auxiliary flow. At the design flow rate the structure would have approximately 0.5 feet of head (WSE @ 78.5).
The bay rim restoration (Pathway #1 Improvements) is at a design elevation of 80 ft, therefore at the design storm
this structure has 1.5 feet of freeboard.

PROTECT NARRATIVE
WRP Easement #: 66453207004K2
Water Control Structures #02 through #06
The water control structures at Mainstem station 107 +15 are used to divert water from the existing drainage canal
into the restored stream and also have a bypass system. This bypass is made up of two structures that discharge
back into the existing channel. The bypass flow allows a safety factor in case of a repair, allowing the site to
stabilize prior to any large events, and prevent blockages caused by nuisance animals. The drainage area for the
structure will be made up of the large watershed as shown on the attached maps, approximately 11.1 square
miles. Using the Cypress Creek Formula this would yield a design flow rate of 74 cfs, SCS Method 118 cfs, and
bankfull flow rate of 29 cfs. As a conservative estimate, staff used the 118 cfs flow rate from the SCS method to
determine head on these structures. Data was analyzed in a spreadsheet model for weir flow, barrel flow, and
auxiliary flow. At the design flow rate the structure would have approximately 2.6 feet of head (WSE @ 72.2).
The road under which these barrels pass is at elevation 76 ft; therefore at the design storm this structure has 3.8
feet of freeboard.
Water Control Structures #07 and #08
Two water control structures at the southern most portion of this project are used to develop shallow water
habitat creation. These structures are intended to allow the landowner to remove the boards at the northern
structure and allow water to flow into the shallow water area from offline cell #4 while the boards are closed on
the southern structure. This feature will only function during a bankfull plus flow event. The landowner will
then close the boards at the northern structure to hold the water within the shallow water area.
Modelins Conclusions
NRCS engineering staff used experience on previous projects when selecting the appropriate drainage areas, flow
rates, and models. The Field Office Technical Guide (FOTG) states standard design criteria; however, staff
engineers analyzed various models and flow rates in order to determine if there would be any impact to
upstream stake holders. The selection of the 2 year return period storm using an SCS design method was selected
in accordance with standards and the flow was computed using Hec -HMS as outlined above. This selection
produced no adverse impacts to the upstream stake holders. The higher 2 year USGS Regression flow rate was
then checked. This also produced no adverse impact from existing to proposed conditions. To summarize the
model, this project has a broad flat floodplain. After bankfull flow the channel changes to "out of bank" with
sluggish low slope channel characteristics; typical of eastern North Carolina streams. The broad flat floodplain
will be temporarily inundated until tailwater relief is established and downstream water surface elevation begins
to drain towards the Cape Fear.
NRCS selected the Cypress Creek flow rates to analyze the hydraulic capacities of the water control structures as
this is a method that has historically been successful in this area. Through various NRCS programs EQIP, WRP,
CRP, CREP, and WHIP several hundred water control structures are analyzed with this method every year. The
equations calculate a lower flow rate than the SCS Method or USGS regression; however the equations were
derived for applications very similar to the Privateer Project. After the hydraulic capacities were analyzed from a
rating table, staff checked to ensure that each structure had approximately one (1) foot of free board and then an
additional half a foot (0.5) for wave action.
