17. DIRECTIONS TO THE SITE
To reach the site from Raleigh: proceed east on US -64 for approximately 45 miles. Then travel on I -95 north towards Richmond for
approximately 37 miles. Turn onto NC 46 towards Gaston /Garrysburg and travel approximately 3 miles then turn left onto US 301 north.
Travel 0.1 miles and then make a slight left onto NC 186 north. Travel about 13 miles and then turn left onto Margarettsville Road. The site
will be approximately 0.3 miles straight ahead.
18. Nature of Activity (Description of project, include all features)
The Stanley's Slough and Stanley's II Stream and Wetland Restoration Sites are two full- delivery mitigation projects being developed for
the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP). The projects are part of a former riparian wetland system in the Chowan
River Basin (03010204 8 -digit HUC) in northern Northampton County, North Carolina that has been substantially modified to maximize
agricultural production. The site offers the chance to restore impacted agricultural lands to riparian wetland and stream habitat. The project
goals will be addressed through the following objectives: Restore a diverse headwater stream /wetland vegetation community through
maintenance and germination of existing seed stores, planting of native trees and shrubs and incorporation of a custom native seed mix,
elevate the local groundwater table through the elimination of lateral drainage ditches and modification of existing channelized streams,
and reconnect site hydrology to historic flow paths.
19. Project Purpose (Describe the reason or purpose of the project, see instructions)
The Chowan River Basin Restoration Priorities state the goals for the 14 -digit HUC are to protect and improve water quality throughout
the Basin by reducing sediment and nutrient inputs into streams and rivers and to support efforts to restore local watersheds (NCEEP
2009). The project goals for these projects are in line with the basin priorities and include the following: restore streams and riparian
buffers to provide shade and temperature control and increase in stream woody debris for habitat, restore and protect sensitive aquatic
resources to improve habitat and species diversity through the restoration of wetlands streams and riparian buffers, implement wetland,
stream and shoreline restoration projects that reduce sources of sedimentation, nutrient pollution and surface runoff by restoring hydrology
and vegetation, stabilizing banks and restoring natural geomorphology where appropriate, increase the local hydroperiod by encouraging
both surface and subsurface storage and retention, and restore and establish a functional and diverse headwater stream /wetland community
USE BLOCKS 20 -23 IF DREDGED AND /OR FILL MATERIAL IS TO BE DISCHARGED
20. Reason(s) for Discharge
Fill material will be discharged into existing wetlands and streams to allow for the proper restoration of the impacted aquatic resources.
21. Type(s) of Material Being Discharged and the Amount of Each Type in Cubic Yards:

22. Surface Area in Acres of Wetlands or Other Waters Filled (see instructions)
Acres 1.52 acres (0.19 acres wetlands, 1.33 acres of streams)
or
Linear Feet 3,600 linear feet of streams
23. Description of Avoidance, Minimization, and Compensation (see instructions)
In order to reestablish wetland hydrology throughout a much larger area, these impacted drainage features (and existing wetlands and
streams) will be filled. We anticipate that filling these ditches will result in the upward movement of groundwater that would in turn serve
to extend the hydroperiod and allow the growth and propagation of hydrophytic vegetation. A pump around will be utilized to conduct all
stream restoration work in the dry. Sediment and erosion control measures such as silt fence, straw wattles, rock silt screens and daily
stabilization will be used to minimize impacts during construction.

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
We are applying for a Nationwide 27 permit. This permit authorizes impacts to jurisdictional waters for the purpose of conducting aquatic habitat
restoration, establishment and enhancement activities. This project will provide stream and wetland mitigation credits for impacts elsewhere within this
8 -digit HUC. The site offers an ideal opportunity to improve a series of headwater streams and to restore areas of impacted agricultural land to wetland
habitat.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
In order to reestablish wetland hydrology throughout a much larger area, these drainage features (and existing wetlands) will be filled. We anticipate
that filling these ditches will result in the upward movement of groundwater that would in turn serve to extend the hydroperiod and allow the growth and
propagation of hydrophytic vegetation. A pump around will be utilized to conduct all stream restoration work in the dry. Sediment and erosion control
measures such as silt fence, straw wattles, rock silt screens and daily stabilization will be used to minimize impacts during construction.

Re: NCIRT Review and USACE Approval of the Stanley's Slough (Sections I and II) Combined Draft
Mitigation Plan; SAW 2012 - 01918; EEP # 95356 (I) and 95838 (II)
Mr. Michael Ellison
North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program
1652 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699 -1652
Dear Mr. Ellison:
The purpose of this letter is to provide the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program
(NCEEP) with all comments generated by the North Carolina Interagency Review Team ( NCIRT)
during the 30 -day comment period for the Stanley's Slough Combined Draft Mitigation Plan, which
closed on 17 July, 2013. These comments are attached for your review.
Based on our review of these comments, we have determined that no major concerns have been
identified with the Draft Mitigation Plan. However, the minor issues with the Draft as discussed in the
attached comment memo must be addressed in the Final Mitigation Plan.
The Final Mitigation Plan is to be submitted with the Preconstruction Notification (PCN) Application
for Nationwide permit approval of the project along with a copy of this letter and a summation of the
addressed comments. If it is determined that the project does not require a Department of the Army
permit, you must still provide a copy of the Final Mitigation Plan, along with a copy of this letter, to the
appropriate USACE field office at least 30 days in advance of beginning construction of the project.
Please note that this approval does not preclude the inclusion of permit conditions in the permit
authorization for the project, particularly if issues mentioned above are not satisfactorily addressed.
Additionally, this letter provides initial approval for the Mitigation Plan, but this does not guarantee that

MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD
26 July, 2013
SUBJECT: Stanley's Slough I and Stanley's II- NCIRT Comments During 30 -day Mitigation Plan
Review
Purpose: The comments and responses listed below were posted to the NCEEP Mitigation Plan
Review Portal during the 30 -day comment period in accordance with Section 332.8(8) of the
2008 Mitigation Rule.
NCEEP Project Name: Stanley's Slough and Stanley's II Stream and Wetland Restoration Site,
Northhampton County, NC
USACE AID #: SAW- 2012 -01082
NCEEP #: 95356 and 95358
30 -Day Comment Deadline: 17 July, 2013
1. Eric Kulz; NCDWQ, 2 July, 2013:
Our only comment involves what appear to be field ditches discharging via " "stabilized
drainage outfalls" (these appear to resemble riprap dissipator pads) into the conservation
easement. It is unclear if these are discharging to wetland retention depressions, or if the
water discharged from the ditch will flow directly to the restored stream. Most recent
projects where ditches were required to discharge to the stream, the flow is routed to
wetland depressions for treatment prior to entering the stream channel.
2. Tyler Crumbley USACE, 3 July, 2013:
• On pg. 27, Section 7.1 and pg. 36: please insert "live planted stems" at the appropriate
# /acre and remove the word "mature" from the survivability discussion.
• Please review and correct the indicator statuses of the species proposed (eg. Tulip
poplar, and American holly)
• In addition to the gauge locations shown on pg. 215, please show the proposed
locations of vegetation monitoring plots in Final Mitigation Plan.
• As discussed during the field site visit on 6 Sep, 2012, there is a lack of OHWM indicators
at the head of T2 (only present in ponded /ditched area). We still have a concern about
the size of the contributing watershed to this feature, especially since the hydrologic
contributions from T1 will be diverted into the relic channel in the woods and not to T2.
It is understood from the review of the Draft mit plan (Section 10, pg. 37) that these
headwater features will have gauges installed within the braided channels along with
visual documentation of surface water flow for 30 consecutive days. Please be advised
that if T2 or T1 does not meet the 30 day flow requirement, or exhibit a prevalence of
OHWM indicators as defined in RGL 05 -05, these areas may be removed from stream
credit generation.

IRT Comments
1. Eric Kulz; NCDWQ, 2 July, 2013:
Our only comment involves what appear to be field ditches discharging via " "stabilized
drainage outfalls" (these appear to resemble riprap dissipater pads) into the conservation
easement. It is unclear if these are discharging to wetland retention depressions, or if the
water discharged from the ditch will flow directly to the restored stream. Most recent
projects where ditches were required to discharge to the stream, the flow is routed to
wetland depressions for treatment prior to entering the stream channel.
There are two stabilized drainage outfalls noted in the project grading plans. These are on
page 5 and page 7 of the project plans. The first outfall is located within an area that is
currently in pasture but will be taken out of pasture production as a result of this project
and incorporated in the Stanley's II project. The area draining to the proposed drainage
outfall is an eroded swale that will be filled to enhance upslope seep development. The
grading plan has been modified to better show the grading that will occur in this area. The
stabilized drainage outfall will be installed both to dissipate surface and subsurface flows at
the tow of the slope and to act as a stable channel block to ensure that the eroded drainage
feature does not re- develop over time. Because it will not be draining active agricultural
land and because of the proposed filling of the channel, we do not feel that water quality
treatment is necessary prior to entering the Coastal Plain stream corridor. The second
stabilized drainage outfall is located at the very end of the project where Tributary 2 exits
the easement onto an adjacent property. This structure was installed in this location to
allow the dendritic pattern of the coastal plain stream to transition back into a single thread
channel as it leaves the easement. Although we do not anticipate significant flows or
erosive velocities in this area, a measure of safety was designed into the project to ensure
that the flow convergence would be adequately transitioned onto the adjacent property.
Tyler Crumbley USACE; 3 July, 2013:
• On pg. 27, Section 7.1 and pg. 36: please insert "live planted stems" at the appropriate
4/acre and remove the word "mature" from the survivability discussion.
Inserted "live planted stems " and removed "mature ", as requested.
• Please review and correct the indicator statuses of the species proposed (eg. Tulip poplar,
and American holly)
Reviewed indicator status of species list. Modified list on page 13 of the project plans
based on the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain 2013 Regional Wetland Plant List.
• In addition to the gauge locations shown on pg. 215, please show the proposed locations of
vegetation monitoring plots in Final Mitigation Plan.
Proposed locations of vegetation monitoring plots have been included on page 215 of the
MP.
Additional Changes to the MP — During the review period the Northampton County Floodplain
Administrator responded that the project qualified for a "no action" Floodplain requirement. The
signed checklist was inserted in the report.
• As discussed during the field site visit on 6 Sep, 2012, there is a lack of OHWM indicators at the head
of T2 (only present in ponded /ditched area). We still have a concern about the size of the contributing

Mitigation Plan Stanley's Slough /Stanley's 11 Restoration Sites
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This mitigation plan has been written in conformance with the requirements of the following:
• Federal rule for compensatory mitigation project sites as described in the Federal Register Title 33
Navigation and Navigable Waters Volume 3 Chapter 2 Section § 332.8 paragraphs (c)(2) through (c)(14).
• NCDENR Ecosystem Enhancement Program In -Lieu Fee Instrument signed and dated July 28, 2010
These documents govern NCEEP operations and procedures for the delivery of compensatory mitigation.
The Stanley's Slough Stream and Wetland Restoration Site (SSS) is a full - delivery mitigation project being
developed for the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP). The SSS is a former
headwater stream and riparian wetland system in the Chowan River Basin (03010204 8 -digit HUC) in
northern Northampton County, North Carolina, that has been substantially modified to maximize
agricultural production. The site offers the chance to restore impacted agricultural lands to riparian
wetland habitat.
The Stanley's II Wetland Restoration Site (SII) is located directly adjacent to SSS and consists of a drained
wetland complex. This site offers the opportunity to restore, enhance, and protect wetlands within a
productive headwater stream /wetland system.
The Chowan River Basin Restoration Priorities state the goals for the SSS and SII's 14 -digit HUC are to
protect and improve water quality throughout the Basin by reducing sediment and nutrient inputs into
streams and rivers and to support efforts to restore local watersheds (NCDENR EEP, 2009). The project
goals for SSS and SII are in line with the basin priorities and include the following:
- Restore streams and riparian buffers to provide shade and temperature control and increase
instream woody debris for habitat.
- Restore and protect sensitive aquatic resources to improve habitat and species diversity
through the restoration of wetlands, streams, and riparian buffers.
- Implement wetland and stream restoration projects that reduce sources of nutrient
pollution and surface runoff by restoring hydrology and vegetation, stabilizing banks, and
restoring natural geomorphology where appropriate.
Additional goals for the project include:
- Increase the local hydroperiod by encouraging both surface and subsurface storage and
retention.
- Restore and establish a functional and diverse headwater stream /wetland community.
The project goals will be addressed through the following objectives:
- Restore a headwater stream /wetland vegetation community through planting of native
trees and shrubs, and incorporation of a custom native seed mix
- Elevate the local groundwater table through the elimination of lateral drainage ditches and
modification of existing channelized streams.
- Reconnect site hydrology to historic flow paths.
Both sites are located approximately 0.3 miles north of Margarettsville, North Carolina, in Northampton
County. The projects begin just north of Margarettsville Road. The SSS will aim to restore and enhance
the stream /wetland complex. The dredged channels will be filled creating a shallow braided headwater
stream /wetland complex. Additionally, flow will be reconnected to a relic stream channel and adjacent
Mitigation Plan
Stanley's Slough /Stanley's 11 Restoration Sites
drained wetlands in a forested portion of the site. The SII will aim to restore and enhance the headwater
wetland complex. Select ditches will be filled and productive seeps will be redirected or developed to
integrate the wetland area into the adjacent headwater stream /wetland complex. Once grading is
complete at both sites, the riparian communities will be planted as Headwater Forest Communities
(NCWAM, v. 4.1 2010). Both sites will be monitored for seven years or until the success criteria are met.

1.0 RESTORATION PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
EEP develops River Basin Restoration Priorities to guide its restoration activities within each of the
state's 54 cataloging units. RBRPs delineate specific watersheds that exhibit both the need and
opportunity for wetland, stream, and riparian buffer restoration. These watersheds are called Targeted
Local Watersheds (TLWs) and receive priority for EEP planning and restoration project funds.
The 2009 Chowan River Basin RBRP identified HUC 03010204180040 (Cypress Creek) as a Targeted Local
Watershed (http: // portal .ncdenr.org /c /document_libra ry /get_file ?uuid= 87802543- d3e1- 4e0a- 803fcc3
354f75cd9 &groupld= 60329). The watershed is characterized by 57.4% forested land, 40.1% agricultural
area, and 1.5% developed land with impacts to streams including channelization and nonpoint source
pollution.
Stanley's Slough Restoration Site (SSS) Project and Stanley's II Restoration Site (SII) Project were
identified as stream and wetland opportunities to improve habitat within the TLW.
The project goals address stressors identified in the TLW and include the following:
- Restore streams and riparian buffers to provide shade and temperature control and increase
instream woody debris for habitat.
- Restore and protect sensitive aquatic resources to improve habitat and species diversity
through the restoration of wetlands, streams, and riparian buffers.
- Implement wetland and stream restoration projects that reduce sources of nutrient
pollution and surface runoff by restoring hydrology and vegetation, stabilizing banks, and
restoring natural geomorphology where appropriate.
Additional goals for the project include:
- Increase the local hydroperiod by encouraging both surface and subsurface storage and
retention.
- Restore and establish a functional and diverse headwater stream /wetland community.
The project goals will be addressed through the following objectives:
- Restore a headwater stream /wetland vegetation community through maintenance and
germination of volunteer wetland vegetation from adjacent seed sources, planting of native
trees and shrubs, and incorporation of a custom native seed mix
- Elevate the local groundwater table through the elimination of lateral drainage ditches and
modification of existing channelized streams.
- Reconnect site hydrology to historic flow paths.
2.0 SITE SELECTION
2.1 Directions
SSS and SII are located just north of Margarettsville Road approximately 0.3 miles north of
Margarettsville, North Carolina. To reach the sites from Raleigh: proceed east on US -64 for
approximately 45 miles. Then travel on 1 -95 north towards Richmond for approximately 37 miles. Turn
onto NC 46 towards Gaston /Garysburg, travel approximately 3 miles, and then turn left onto US 301
north. Travel 0.1 miles and then make a slight left onto NC 186 north. Travel about 13 miles and then
turn left onto Margarettsville Road. The sites will be approximately 0.3 miles straight ahead.

Mitigation Plan
2.2 Site Selection
Stanley's Slough /Stanley's 11 Restoration Sites
The sites are part of the 03010204 USGS Cataloging Unit (Meherrin Watershed) located within the
Chowan River Basin. The Chowan River Basin straddles the border of North Carolina and Virginia and is
populated throughout with small municipalities. The populations of the counties within the watershed
are stable or minimally declining and land use is predominately agricultural. For this reason, the
restoration priorities laid out by EEP focus on mitigating impact to streams and wetlands from
agricultural use (NCDENR EEP, 2009).
The project sites are bounded by NC 186 to the south and by agricultural land on all other sides. The
sites have a long history of hydrologic modification in order to allow for farming to take place on the
property. The existing site conditions are shown in Section 2.6 and seen in site photographs (Section
2.8). Within the Meherrin Watershed, the Cypress Creek watershed remains only minimally affected by
urban development, having its start in Seaboard, North Carolina, before flowing into southern Virginia
and emptying into the Chowan River. Approximately 57.4% of the 14 -digit HUC is forested and 40.1% is
used as agricultural land (NCDENR EEP, 2009). Although the project sites are located in the Cypress
Creek 14 -digi HUC, the nearest named water body downstream of the sites is Fountains Creek
(030102040706), which is located in southern Virginia. Fountains Creek is currently listed as impaired
under the Virginia 2012 303(d) listing for aquatic life and recreation designated uses (VA DEQ, 2012).
The project watershed for the SSS comprises 113 acres to the bottom of project site. Current land use in
the project watershed consists of forested land (49.2 ac/ 43.7 %), rangeland (38.1 ac/ 33.8 %), and
agriculture (25.3 ac/ 22.5 %). The project watershed drains from the south and east into the project site.
The project watershed for the SII is made up of 80 acres and is located within the watershed for the SSS.
Current land use in the SII project watershed consists of forested land (42.6 ac/ 53.0 %), rangeland (28.0
ac/ 34.9 %), and agriculture (9.7 ac/ 12.1 %). The impervious surface within both project watersheds is
limited to the impervious areas within rural residential properties, amounting to less than 1% of the
total drainage area.
Historic aerials from Northampton County were examined for any information about how the site
hydrology and vegetation have changed over the last century. Historic aerials were obtained from the
USGS Earth Explorer for 1950, 1959, 1961, 1973, 1978, 1989, 1998, and 2010. The reviewed aerials are
found in Section 2.7. The photographs show that since as early as 1950 most of the site has been under
agricultural production, with a similar footprint to the sites today. An area of forest to the northwest of
the site was cleared between 1950 and 1973. The ditch that cuts through the drainage divide to join
Tributary 1 (T1) to the top of Tributary 2 (T2) is not visible until the 1973 photo. It is unclear whether the
ditch was not there before that or if it was not discernible in earlier photos. The photos clearly show
that the area around the upstream section of T1 in the southwestern portion of the site was cleared
between 1950 and 1959. After it was cleared, the stream was channelized and surface drains were built
to connect to the stream and drain the field. Since the area was cleared, it has been used for livestock
grazing and the cattle have had unrestricted access to the channel. The eastern half of the site appears
to be relatively unchanged since 1950. The surrounding area is rural with low development pressure at
this time. These land use trends indicate that restoring this property back to a forested wetland will
provide an important habitat enhancement in the watershed.
The sites lie within the Rolling Coastal Plains (Level IV 65m) ecoregion of the Coastal Plain physiographic
province. This region is described as a rolling, hilly, dissected portion of the Inner Coastal Plain that is
made up of sedimentary material. The geology at the site is classified as part of the Yorktown formation,
K

which is comprised of fossiliferous clay with varying amounts of fine - grained sand. Bluish gray, shell
material is commonly concentrated in lenses.
The soils at both sites were also examined for their wetland potential. The soil data sheets and a map of
the soil borings are included in Appendix C.
Stanley's Slough
According to the soil survey of Northampton County, the soils within the project site are mapped as
Tomotley loam for the southernmost tributary, Roanoke silt loam for the central and eastern part of the
site, Altavista fine sandy loam for the western tributary, and Wehadkee loam for the most northern
tributary (USDA, NRCS Web Soil Survey, 2011). A soils investigation by KCI's licensed soil scientist
confirmed that the Roanoke series occupies a central portion of the site. The Roanoke series, a hydric
soil, is described as a poorly drained soil located on terraces and drainage ways in the piedmont and the
upper and middle coastal plains. There are also two inclusions of the Altavista series, which is nonhydric.
This area has relic braided channels, drained wetlands, and some existing wetlands. The hydrologic
sources for the existing wetlands are seeps at the base of the upland area to the south. The hydrologic
source that historically contributed wetland hydrology to all of the hydric soils was the headwater
stream /wetland complex that previously flowed through this area, but has been diverted to the north
away from this part of the site.
Stanley's 11
According to the soil survey for the project area, the soils within the project site are primarily mapped as
Tomotley loam for the southern portion of the SII and Roanoke silt loam for the northern portion of the
SII easement. Small areas of Winton loam and Altavista fine sandy loam are also present within the
southern restoration area (USDA, NRCS Web Soil Survey, 2011). A soils investigation by KCI's licensed
soil scientist confirmed that the Roanoke series occupies the northern portion of SII but extends
approximately 150 feet to the west of its current location. The Roanoke series, a hydric soil, is described
as a poorly drained soil located on terraces and drainage ways in the piedmont and the upper and
middle coastal plains. The soil investigation also confirmed the presence of Tomotley loam, also a hydric
soil, in the southern portion of SII. The evaluation also confirmed an area of Winton soils along the bluff
slope. Where seepage occurred along the bluff, inclusions of Pelham soils were noted within the Winton
unit. A small area of Augusta silt loam was also mapped along the southern project boundary. This was
mapped as a non - hydric area within the project boundaries.
Based on these watershed and site - specific attributes, the SSS and SII were selected as candidates for
wetland mitigation. The restored sites will expand forested wetland habitat in an area that has been
actively used for agriculture since at least 1950.

4.1 Watershed Summary Information
Stanley's Slough /Stanley's 11 Restoration Sites
The sites are part of the 03010204 USGS Cataloging Unit (Meherrin Watershed) located within the
Chowan River Basin. The Chowan River Basin straddles the border of North Carolina and Virginia and is
populated throughout with small municipalities. The populations of the counties within the watershed
are stable or minimally declining and land use is predominately agricultural. For this reason, the
restoration priorities laid out by EEP focus on mitigating impact to streams and wetlands from
agricultural use (NCDENR EEP, 2009).
The project watershed for the SSS comprises 113 acres. Current land use in the project watershed
consists of forested land (49.2 ac/ 43.7 %), rangeland (38.1 ac/ 33.8 %), and agriculture (25.3 ac / 22.5 %).
The project watershed drains from the south and east into the project site. The project watershed for
the SII is made up of 80 acres and is located within the watershed for the SSS. Current land use in the
project watershed consists of forested land (42.6 ac/ 53.0 %), rangeland (28.0 ac/ 34.9 %), and agriculture
(9.7 ac/ 12.1 %). The impervious surface within both project watersheds is limited to impervious areas
within rural residential properties, amounting to less than 1% of the total drainage area. The nearest
named downstream water body is Fountains Creek located in southern Virginia, which drains to the
Meherrin River. The project area is located in the United States Geological Survey (USGS)
Margarettsville, North Carolina, Quadrangle (2010).
4.2 Reach Summary Information
Stanley's Slough
Existing Conditions
The streams at the SSS have historically been impacted by channelization, surrounding row crop
production, and cattle grazing. Two separate streams make up the site: Tributary 1 (T1) begins in the
southwestern project corner and flows north. Tributary 2 (T2) flows east to join T1 and comes onto the
site from the west. T1 then flows north to the project boundary where it continues to flow north into
the swamp system surrounding the Meherrin River. Both streams are headwater channels due to their
small drainage areas. The broad flat topography of the site means that the streams have minimal slope
and are slow- moving systems. Section 2.6 Current Conditions Plan View shows the existing conditions at
the SSS and site photographs are included in Section 2.8.
T1 begins in the southwestern corner of the property and is a perennial first -order stream that is
channelized for approximately 1,700 linear feet before being ditched through the middle of a slight
drainage divide until connecting with T2. T1 originates from a perennial seep in the middle of a field
used for livestock grazing. This part of the stream has been ditched and numerous surficial field drains
have been cut into the field that drains to T1. After T2 joins T1, T1 flows east with row crops on either
side of it. T2's hydrology comes from the surface flows from a swale that drains from a forested area to
the west, surface flows from the surrounding fields, and groundwater. After T1 reaches a wood line, it
continues to be ditched until it turns north at the end of the project into a forested section that appears
to have been clear cut within the past 10 years.
The project was evaluated using the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form on October 19, 2011 (Appendix
C). The NCDWQ form was used to determine if the tributaries were classified as perennial or
intermittent streams. A numerical value of at least 30 points is determined from the NCDWQ stream
identification form to classify the stream as a perennial stream (NCDENR, 2010). Project reach T1, which
18
Mitigation Plan
Stanley's Slough /Stanley's 11 Restoration Sites
is currently an upstream reach of T2, scored a numerical value of 31.75 points and was classified as a
stream.
Channel Classification
Channel Morphology (Pattern, Dimension, and Profile)
A Rosgen Level II assessment was conducted to gather existing stream dimension, pattern, and profile
data to determine the degree of channel instability. Channel cross - sections were surveyed at seven
representative locations along the project; three locations on T1, two locations on T2, and two locations
on the relic channel in SSS. Data developed from these surveys are presented in a channel morphology
summary in Appendix C.
Channel Stability Assessment
The channels being restored in the SSS are maintained as agricultural ditches and are not considered
highly unstable. As reflected in the project goals and objects, sediment is not a large concern at this site.
For these reasons, a Bank Erosion Hazard Index (BEHI) evaluation was not conducted for the project.
eankfull Verification
The standard methodology used in natural channel design is based on the ability to select the
appropriate bankfull discharge and generate the corresponding bankfull hydraulic geometry from a
stable reference system(s). The determination of bankfull stage is typically the most critical component
of the natural channel design process. However, given that this is a headwater project, the channel
design will not have traditional bankfull -based morphology. Therefore, bankfull is not relevant to this
particular project.
With the exception of the relic channel in the woods, project reaches within the SSS are altered
(ditched) channels. T1 is a perennial first -order channelized stream that receives hydrology from a
perennial spring at the beginning of the reach. T2 is also a perennial first -order channelized stream that
receives hydrology from T1 in addition to groundwater sources. The relic channel of T1 is not
channelized and follows a more natural stream morphology. This channel was historically part of an
existing wetland /stream complex with lower banks and high width /depth ratios.
While KCI is not developing a traditional bankfull channel based on specific reference reach ratios or
regional curve geometry, an alternative design process has been used to develop the criteria for the
restoration of the headwater wetland /streams on site. As evidenced by the data collected in the relic
channel in the wooded section of the project and from visual observations in adjacent reaches with
more natural flow patterns, these headwater wetland /stream systems generally have a low flow
channel associated with them. These low flow channels are morphologically highly variable and the
conditions in the wooded section were used as a guide to develop what the headwater stream /wetland
restoration should look like. Some of the observations that contributed to this concept include: in many
instances the low flow channel not being in the center or even the lowest part of the valley; that
numerous side channels can be almost the same size as the low flow channel; that sometimes side
channels are nonexistent and the low flow channel conveys a greater concentrated flow; that the size
and dimensions of the low flow channel vary depending on governing valley morphology; and that the
profiles have some areas of high variability and other areas with little grade change. These qualities, and
the morphological parameters of the relic channel, contributed to the design plan for the restoration of
the ditched streams on site.
19
Mitigation Plan
Stanley's Slough /Stanley's 11 Restoration Sites
In the project plan sheets (Appendix D), there is a set range of dimensions for the low flow channel.
Given this range of dimensions and the designed grade of the floodplain, the designer will work with the
equipment operator to grade this low flow channel through the valley. Similar to the wooded area, the
low flow channel will be experience minor variations in size, the profile and planform will vary
depending on the controlling valley morphology, and there will be smaller side channels throughout the
width of the valley. It is the intention of the design for the low flow channel to be undersized, so that
during most precipitation events and dependent on the seasonal elevation of the water table, the low
flow channel capacity is exceeded and additional overbank flow is spread throughout the valley,
accessing multiple flow paths. An example of what the constructed channel cross - section could look like
is best illustrated by existing Cross - Section 6. This cross - section has a primary channel, but there are also
low areas adjacent to the channel that have flow in them during storm events. The other cross - section
from the wooded area, Cross - Section 7 is an example of how the primary channel is not in the exact low
point in the valley. Here the channel has a depression adjacent to it that may or may not have an outlet
to the primary channel. These two cross - sections are indicative of the natural variation found in these
systems and discussed above. It is expected that as vegetation grows in and around the stream valley,
the form of the channels could experience minor variations, with some portions becoming thick with
vegetation and causing a rerouting of the predominant low flow channel to occur. The final stable form
of this channel evolution is a low flow channel whose location and morphological condition are set by
the mature vegetation around it. This is the natural progression for these systems. As these systems
change over time, they are still considered stable, with any rate of change happening slowly and over
long time periods. Erosion is not a problem in these systems because the minimal sediment that is
generated from the changing channel form is captured within the site's dense vegetation.

Not applicable for this project.
4.3 Wetland Summary Information
Based on field topographic survey data and LIDAR elevation data, the contours at SSS and SII range from
42 — 78 feet. The topography of the sites begins with the highest elevations at the southeastern edge of
the site boundaries, and extending from there to the west and up towards the northeastern most
corner. The elevation decreases quickly as one moves from the southeastern corner to the center of the
sites. The drained hydric soils at the sites experience approximately a 4 feet change in elevation as the
slope grades down slightly from the center and out of the northeastern corner.
Stanley's Slough
Existing Wetlands
Currently, small areas of wetland exist along the relic channel in the forested portion of the site as well
as throughout T1 and T2. These areas were delineated by KCI wetland scientists and the boundaries
were confirmed through a jurisdictional determination with the US Army Corps of Engineers (Section
4.4). The goal of this project will be to join these areas to a larger whole with a braided stream /wetland
complex. The wetland data forms are included in Appendix B.
T1 drains the site south to north until the confluence with T2, where the site drains west to east. The
relic channel is primarily dry, but during rain events the channel picks up seepage from the southern
hillside and flows to the east. Any flow through these woods is separated from the downstream wetland
system because of the farm road that cuts off flow from west to east. Pockets of standing water are
20
Mitigation Plan
Stanley's Slough /Stanley's 11 Restoration Sites
present throughout this area. Wetlands outside of the forested area are found within the banks of T1
and T2.
Vegetation
The project includes a mature wooded area east of the existing T1 channel and south of T2. This
bottomland area contains the relic channel for T1 and a series of drained braided channels that weave
through mature trees. The bottomland has a variety of tree species, including: persimmon (Diospyros
virginiana), black gum (Nyssa sylvatica), green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), ironwood (Carpinus
caroliniana), American holly (Ilex opaca), willow oak (Quercus phellos), tulip poplar (Liriodendron
tulipifera), and swamp chestnut oak (Quercus michauxii). A more mature forest is located north of the
SSS and is composed of green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), swamp tupelo (Nyssa aquatic), laurel oak
(Quercus laurifolia), willow oak (Quercus phellos), water oak (Quercus nigra), American holly (Ilex
opaca), American beautyberry (Callicarpa americana), swamp cottonwood (Populus heterophylla), river
birch (Betula nigra), and ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana).
Stanley's ll
Existing Wetlands
SII has been impacted by a history of ditching, surrounding row crop production, and cattle grazing.
Despite efforts to effectively drain wetlands on the property, several small areas of existing wetland
exist within the SII. These areas were delineated by KCI wetland scientists and the boundaries were
confirmed through a jurisdictional determination with the US Army Corps of Engineers (Section 4.4). The
existing wetlands are generally located in depressions or along man -made drainage features created to
drain the adjacent pastureland. Approximately 1.1 acres of existing wetlands exist within SII. The goal of
this project will be to join these areas to a larger whole with the stream /wetland complex of the SSS.
The wetland data forms are included in Appendix B.
Drained wetlands within the SII generally flow in a northwesterly direction towards T1. Strong
indications of seepage flow exist along the terrace slope that runs along the eastern boundary of the SII.
Three ditched channels are located within the southern portion of the SII easement. These ditches serve
to drain the surrounding areas along T1.
The northern portion of the SII is currently a soybean field that shows evidence of prolonged exposure
to inundation in many areas of the field. The northern portion of SII is drained by a tributary that runs to
the north of the site as well as by a ditch that runs to the east of the field. A 100' wide electric
transmission line easement is located along the tree line in the southern portion of the field. South of
the soybean field, this section of SII extends into the woods and joins with the proposed easement for
the SSS project. This area which includes degraded and drained wetland areas is characterized by a mix
of forested and scrub -shrub species.
Vegetation
The bottomland has a variety of tree species, including: persimmon (Diospyros virginiana), black gum
(Nyssa sylvatica), green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), American holly (Ilex opaca), willow oak (Quercus
phellos), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), and swamp chestnut oak (Quercus michauxii). A ditch
serves to drain a portion of this area and hydrology has been diverted from the area by upstream
ditching.

4.4 Regulatory Considerations
Stanley's Slough /Stanley's 11 Restoration Sites
A jurisdictional determination was approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers on November 29, 2012
for the SSS and on October 3, 2012 for the SII. Following the completion of the mitigation plan, a pre -
construction notification (PCN) will be completed to apply for a Nationwide 27 Permit (NWP) to comply
with Sections 401 and 404 of the Clean Water Act with the Wilmington District of the US Army Corps of
Engineers and the NCDENR Division of Water Quality.
Once the jurisdictional boundaries of the wetlands were determined and formalized through the
jurisdictional determination process, KCI evaluated the potential of restoring functions of the existing
and drained wetland areas using the definitions of "rehabilitation" and "reestablishment" provided in 40
CFR Part 230 (Final Rule). Although these definitions were adopted in 2008, the use of these terms to
justify restoration had not previously been applied to NC EEP full delivery projects. As such, KCI initiated
discussions with the US Army Corps of Engineers regarding the applicability of these definitions to this
project. Appendix B contains the negotiated results of KCI's discussions of the assets associated with
both the SSS and SII projects. This negotiation was used as the basis for the credit scenarios presented
in this report.
SSS and SII are located within a FEMA Zone AE for the backwater of the Meherrin River. A no -rise flood
study is expected for this project.

6.0 CREDIT RELEASE SCHEDULE
Stanley's Slough /Stanley's 11 Restoration Sites
All credit releases will be based on the total credit generated as reported by the as -built survey of the
mitigation sites. Under no circumstances shall any mitigation project be debited until the necessary DA
authorization has been received for its construction or the District Engineer (DE) has otherwise provided
written approval for the project in the case where no DA authorization is required for construction of
the mitigation project. The DE, in consultation with the Interagency Review Team (IRT), will determine if
performance standards have been satisfied sufficiently to meet the requirements of the release
schedules below. In cases where some performance standards have not been met, credits may still be
released depending on the specifics of the case. Monitoring may be required to restart or be extended,
depending on the extent to which the site fails to meet the specified performance standard. The release
of project credits will be subject to the criteria described as follows:

Initial Allocation of Released Credits
The initial allocation of released credits, as specified in the mitigation plan can be released by the NCEEP
without prior written approval of the DE upon satisfactory completion of the following activities:
- Approval of the final Mitigation Plan
- Recordation of the preservation mechanism, as well as a title opinion acceptable to the USACE
covering the property
- Completion of project construction (the initial physical and biological improvements to the
mitigation site) pursuant to the mitigation plan; Per the NCEEP Instrument, construction means
that a mitigation site has been constructed in its entirety, to include planting, and an as -built
report has been produced. As -built reports must be sealed by an engineer prior to project
closeout, if appropriate but not prior to the initial allocation of released credits.

Mitigation Plan
Stanley's Slough /Stanley's 11 Restoration Sites
- Receipt of necessary DA permit authorization or written DA approval for projects where DA
permit issuance is not required.
Subsequent Credit Releases
All subsequent credit releases must be approved by the DE, in consultation with the IRT, based on a
determination that required performance standards have been achieved. For stream projects a reserve
of 15% of a site's total stream credits shall be released after two bank -full events have occurred, in
separate years, provided the channel is stable and all other performance standards are met. In the event
that less than two bank -full events occur during the monitoring period, release of these reserve credits
shall be at the discretion of the IRT. As projects approach milestones associated with credit release, the
NCEEP will submit a request for credit release to the DE along with documentation substantiating
achievement of criteria required for release to occur. This documentation will be included with the
annual monitoring report.

7.1 Target Wetland Types and Plant Communities
Stanley's Slough
Disturbed areas of T1 and T2 will be planted with species from the Headwater Forest Community
(NCWAM, v. 4.1 2010) as well as other similar species that have been observed in the adjacent wetland
areas. The planting plan in the attached project plan sheets (Appendix D) lists these areas as the
Wetland Planting Plan and the Stream Planting Plan. These two areas have many of the same species,
differing only slightly based on the distribution of species. The restored wetlands and the part of T1 that
will be returned to the relic channel will not receive wholesale planting because these areas are already
forested. Any areas that have a low density of existing vegetation will be supplementally planted with
the species listed above for T1 and T2. Trees and shrubs will be planted at a density of 968 stems per
acre (9 feet x 5 feet spacing) to achieve a survivability of two hundred ten (210) live planted stems per
acre after seven years. Woody vegetation planting will be conducted during dormancy. Species to be

Mitigation Plan
7.2 Design Parameters
Stanley's Slough /Stanley's 11 Restoration Sites
Stanley's Slough
The mitigation approach for the SSS will aim to restore the headwater stream /wetland complex that
drains to the Meherrin River. The available historic data, detailed soils mapping, and topographic and
geographic positions suggest that a headwater forest used to exist in the lowland areas of the site
(NCWAM, v. 4.1 2010). The site will be restored to a condition that resembles the former
stream /wetland community.
While the credit type and ratio for this project generally follow the framework of the restoration
mitigation type, these mitigation types have been further refined to be considered either
reestablishment or rehabilitation, which are both forms of restoration. Reestablishment occurs where
the functions are returned to the site where an aquatic resource previously existed. Rehabilitation
results in an improvement in most, if not all, aquatic resource functions at a degraded site (40 CFR Part
230). Based upon discussions with the IRT, it was decided that using these more specific mitigation types
was the best way to address the fact that the existing conditions and current suite of functions are
different for these restoration areas. The results of these discussions are different ratios for
rehabilitation and reestablishment, although they are both considered restoration credit. The
correspondence related to this discussion is included in Appendix B.
Mitigation actions will focus on filling the dredged channels and creating a shallow braided headwater
stream /wetland complex. Each of the individual restoration reaches have valley widths >100' and will be
approached in a manner consistent with the guidance document Information Regarding Stream
Restoration with Emphasis on the Coastal Plain (USACE, 2007). This design aims to restore the function
of these systems, applying the guidance as described in that document for restoring riparian headwater
systems.
The restored streams will not be a single thread channel, but instead there will be multiple threads that
will meander through a valley bottom, similar to existing reference systems found at the site. In these
areas (channelized portions of T1 and T2), the stream /wetland valley will be protected by a 120' wide
conservation easement (60' on either side of the wetland valley). T1 will also be reconnected to the relic
forested headwater stream /wetland complex, which in turn will restore hydrology to the adjacent
drained riparian wetlands
For the first 1,700 linear feet of T1, the channelized stream will be redeveloped into a gently sloping
(0.2 %, matching the slope of the channel in the existing wooded area) headwater stream valley. This will
place shallow diffuse flow at the surface, creating a braided stream system. In this part of T1, the
resource will be rehabilitated, since there will be an improvement to the entire suite of functions for the
stream system. By eliminating the ditched channel and returning the flow to a braided system all of the
wetland /stream functions will be improved and the functions of the system will be significantly
increased compared to the existing conditions.
When T1 approaches the tree line where it is currently ditched to the north, the restoration will connect
the stream to the relic forested headwater stream /wetland system. By returning the hydrologic source
to this relic stream /wetland system, the resource will be reestablished. By effectively rebuilding the
system in this location the historic functions will be returned to this resource and there will be an overall
gain in the resource area and function. Because there is already a stable system of braided channels that
will be reclaimed, there will be minimal impact to the existing forested buffer. This diffuse channel will
29
Mitigation Plan
Stanley's Slough /Stanley's 11 Restoration Sites
continue until it reaches an existing road and flows through a culvert under an existing road. The ditch
to the north of T1, which currently connects drainage from T1 to T2, will be filled. Hydrology in T2 will
continue to be driven by groundwater and precipitation inputs upstream of the ditch.
Adjacent to the section of T1 through the forested area, wetlands will be reestablished and
rehabilitated. Where the hydric soils are anticipated to regain wetland hydrology because of the stream
being reconnected to the adjacent historic channel, wetland functions will be returned to these
resources, resulting in wetland reestablishment. Where there are currently low lying areas that exhibit
compromised wetland functions, the suite of functions will be greatly improved with this hydrologic
regime change, resulting in wetland rehabilitation. At the current farm road, there will be culverts
installed to continue the proper alignment of the wetland /stream valley. Currently there is no hydrologic
connection between the western and eastern sides of the road, except when the road is overtopped.
This will extend the stream reestablishment to the eastern side of the road where it flows into a channel
that leads north to the confluence with T2.
Similarly to T1, T2 will be rehabilitated by grading the channelized stream into a headwater
stream /wetland valley in its place. The restored stream will leave shallow diffuse flow at the surface,
creating a braided stream system similar to the rehabilitation for the upper portion of T1. At the
beginning of T2 the area will be developed into a wetland seep, where the headwater stream /wetland
valley begins. There is an existing culvert approximately halfway down T2, which will remain in place.
Please see the mitigation overview in Section 7.4 and the project plan sheets included in Appendix D.
The following elements of functional uplift, increase, and improvement are expected from this project:
1. Increase in groundwater recharge
2. Increase in sediment trapping and filtration
3. Increase in carbon storage
4. Increase in biochemical cycling of nutrients and other pollutants
5. Increase in habitat utilization by wildlife (migrants and residents)
6. Increase in landscape patch structure
Summary
Stream Restoration (Rehabilitation and Reestablishment) — 4,274 linear feet
The existing channelized reaches, T1 (3,054 linear feet) and T2 (1,220 linear feet), will be filled and
graded to a headwater stream /wetland complex. The restored streams will have shallow diffuse flow,
creating a braided stream system. The relic channel will be restored to reconnect site hydrology to
historic flow paths.
Riparian Wetland Restoration (Rehabilitation and Reestablishment) — 3.6 acres
The drained hydric soils adjacent to the relic forested stream /wetland valley will be restored to riparian
wetland as part of the restoration of T1. There are also existing riparian wetlands that will be included
within this part of the project and protected under the conservation easement. Wetland hydrology will
be restored to the drained hydric soils when T1 is redirected to the existing relic channel, raising the
groundwater elevations and providing overbank flow. The functional uplift will be significant in this
wetland system because there is already a mature canopy of appropriate tree species. Following the
completion of site grading, the riparian wetland will be planted as Headwater Forest Community as
described in Section 7.1. Proposed project conditions are shown in Section 7.4.

Stanley's Slough /Stanley's 11 Restoration Sites
Reference Wetland
A suitable reference wetland was found approximately 900 feet north of the northeastern edge of the
SSS, within the Garriss parcel. The reference wetland is comprised of deciduous hardwoods over a shrub
layer and is consistent with the Headwater Forest Community that will be the target wetland type at the
project site. A groundwater monitoring well has been installed to document the reference wetland
hydrology during the course of monitoring.
Stanley's 11
The mitigation approach for SII will aim to restore and enhance the headwater wetland complex that
drains to the Meherrin River. The restored riparian system will resemble a Headwater Forest community
(NCWAM, v. 4.1). Mitigation actions will focus on filling ditches, developing and redirecting productive
seeps, enhancing soil structure through targeted surface manipulation, and integrating the wetland area
into the adjacent headwater stream /wetland complex. When the grading work is complete, the site will
be stabilized with a native seed mix and planted with woody species typically found in a Headwater
Forest community.
While the credit type and ratio for this project generally follow the framework of the restoration
mitigation type, these mitigation types have been further refined to be considered either
reestablishment or rehabilitation, which are both forms of restoration. Reestablishment occurs where
the functions are returned to the site where an aquatic resource previously existed. Rehabilitation
results in an improvement in most, if not all, aquatic resource functions at a degraded site (40 CFR Part
230). Based upon discussions with the IRT, it was decided that using these more specific mitigation types
was the best way to address the fact that the existing conditions and current suite of functions are
different for these restoration areas. The results of these discussions are different ratios for
rehabilitation and reestablishment, although they are both considered restoration credit. The
correspondence related to this discussion is included in Appendix B.
With the upper portion of T1 to the west, the southern portion of SII contains a mix of existing and
drained wetlands. The existing drainage ditches and low lying areas, which drain SII to T1, will be graded
to reconnect the wetland complex as a whole. This will be considered wetland rehabilitation in the low
lying areas where there are minimally functioning wetlands currently. Where there are currently drained
hydric soils adjacent to these wet areas, the wetlands will be reestablished, by the grading and filling of
drainage features. This will maximize the functional uplift potential of both the SII and the SSS by
incorporating upland buffers as well as additional and improved wetland acreage in this area of the site.
The northern portion of the SII easement also contains a mix of existing and drained wetlands. The
majority of this area will be reestablished through ditch filling, drainage area re- establishment (from the
SSS), and development of the adjacent wetland areas within the soybean field. Please see the mitigation
overview in Section 7.4 and the project plan sheets included in Appendix D. The following elements of
functional uplift, increase, and improvement are expected from this project:
1. Increase in flood storage
2. Increase in groundwater recharge
3. Increase in sediment trapping and filtration
4. Increase in carbon storage
5. Increase in biochemical cycling of nutrients and other pollutants
6. Increase in habitat utilization by wildlife (migrants and residents)
7. Increase in landscape patch structure

Summary
Riparian Wetland Restoration (Rehabilitation and Reestablishment) — 7.6 acres
The drained hydric soil areas within the project site will be restored to riparian wetland as part of this
project and the marginal existing wetlands will be improved.
Reference Wetland
The same reference wetland used for the SSS will also be used as a reference site for the SII.
7.3 Data Analysis
In order to model the effect of filling the onsite ditches and grading the wetland restoration areas of SSS
and SII, DRAINMOD was used to simulate the before and after conditions. DRAINMOD is a computer
simulation water balance model that follows the groundwater elevation in the surface profile using soil
inputs, climatic data, and drainage conditions (NCSU, 2013). It was originally developed for agricultural
drainage design, but has been adapted for evaluating wetland hydrology due to its modeling of poorly
drained soils over a time step.
Two different models were used for SII based on the restoration areas that have primarily either
Tomotley or Roanoke soils. Climatic data (daily rainfall and maximum and minimum daily temperatures)
were obtained from the Jackson, North Carolina COOP Station (314456), approximately 10 miles from
the site and the closest station with at least 50 years of data. For the model simulation, 60 years of
available data were used (1953- 2012). The daily rainfall was distributed to an hourly increment within
the computer program. The temperatures were used in the Thornthwaite potential evapotranspiration
calculations. The soils data were obtain from the NRCS parameters for the two soil series and from
onsite observations (USDA 1994). The wetland criteria were set to evaluate the success of meeting 9%
continuous saturation (23 days) over the growing period of March 11— November 20 (254 days).
The Tomotley model was developed for the southern portion of the SII restoration area. For the existing
conditions model, the average drain spacing for this area is approximately 200 feet and the average
drain depth is 1.0 between the existing ditches and the channelized stream. The proposed conditions
model has the same drain spacing (assuming a restored headwater stream - wetland complex), but with a
drain depth of 0.5 feet. The surface storage was also increased to 2.0 inches to account for increased
surface roughness in the restored wetland. Based on these conditions, the existing conditions model
showed that wetland hydrology was achieved 0 out of 60 years. For the proposed conditions, the site
achieved wetland hydrology for 41 out of 60 years, or 68% probability of reoccurrence.
The Roanoke model was used for the northern section of SII. The ditch spacing in this area is closer
together at an average of 120 feet. The average drain depth is 1.5 feet deep, primarily due to the
channelized stream. For the proposed condition, the drain spacing was again kept the same and the
drain depth was limited to 0.5 feet with 2 inches of surface storage. The existing conditions model
indicated 1 out of 60 years (2 %) with wetland hydrology whereas the proposed conditions model
predicted 51 out of 60 years, or 85 %.
For the section of wetland in the wooded section of SSS, a relic stream channel exists in this area that
will be reclaimed. Using the existing conditions within this area, the channel is approximately 1 foot
32
Mitigation Plan
Stanley's Slough /Stanley's 11 Restoration Sites
deep and averages 75 feet wide within the drained hydric soils. Given these conditions, DRAINMOD
models marginal wetland conditions, with hydrology being achieved 32 out 60 years. By restoring the
stream through this section, additional hydrology within the channel will elevate the groundwater table
and produce overbank flooding to restore the hydrologic conditions.
The model results are included in Appendix C.

The sites will be monitored on a regular basis, with a physical inspection of the sites conducted a
minimum of once per year throughout the post- construction monitoring period until performance
standards are met. These site inspections may identify site components and features that require
routine maintenance. Routine maintenance should be expected most often in the first two years
following site construction and may include the following:

9.0 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
Stanley's Slough /Stanley's 11 Restoration Sites
Both the SSS and SII will be monitored to determine if the development of the wetland indicators on site
meet the standards for mitigation credit production as presented in Section 5.0. The site will also be
monitored to document the development of the headwater stream system. The credits will be validated
upon confirmation that the success criteria described below are met. The sites will be monitored for
performance standards for seven years after completion of construction.
Headwater Stream Performance
Stream hydrology monitoring will be conducted to determine if the restored headwater streams meet
the proposed performance criteria for headwater stream hydrology and form. The headwater stream
will have continuous surface water flow within the valley, every year for at least 30 consecutive days.
Additionally, the stream must show signs of supporting the restored channel form as documented with
photos. These indicators may include evidence of: scour, sediment deposition and sorting, multiple flow
events, wrack lines and flow over vegetation, leaf litter, or water staining.
Hydrologic Performance
Wetland hydrology monitoring will be conducted to determine if the restored wetland areas meet the
proposed performance criteria for wetland hydrology. The sites will present continuous saturated or
inundated hydrologic conditions for at least 9.0% of the growing season for riparian mitigation areas (2.8
acres for SSS and 6.4 acres for SII) during normal weather conditions based on a conservative estimate.
A "normal" year is based on NRCS climatological data for Northampton County, and using the 30th to
70th percentile thresholds as the range of normal, as documented in the USACE Technical Report
"Accessing and Using Meteorological Data to Evaluate Wetland Hydrology, April 2000." The soil survey
for Northampton County estimates that the growing season begins March 11 and ends November 20
(254 days).
Section 10 describes the monitoring requirements for the sites. Monitoring will comply with guidance
included in "Monitoring Requirements and Performance Standards for Stream and /or Wetland
Mitigation" (NCDENR EEP, 2011). Hydrologic performance will be determined through evaluation of
automatic recording gauge data supplemented by documentation of wetland hydrology indicators as
defined in the 1987 US ACOE Wetland Delineation Manual, daily data will be collected from automatic
wells over the 7 -year monitoring period following implementation. These data will determine if the
wetland meets the hydrology success criterion of the water table being within 12 inches of the ground
surface continuously for greater than 9.0% of the growing season. Visual monitoring will also be
conducted two times per year in each monitoring year as per the NC EEP guidance referenced above.
Vegetation Success
For both sites, the vegetation success criteria will comply with guidance included in "Monitoring
Requirements and Performance Standards for Stream and /or Wetland Mitigation" (NCDENR EEP, 2011),
which states that the plots must achieve a stem density of 320 stems /acre after three years, 260
stems /acre after five years, and 210 live planted stems /acre after seven years to be considered
successful. In addition to density requirements, plant height will be monitored within the monitoring
plots to ensure that trees average 10 feet in height after seven years.

hydrology. Verification of wetland hydrology will be determined by automatic recording well data
collected within the project area and reference wetland. Automatic recording gauges will be established
within the mitigation areas. Daily data will be collected from the automatic gauges for a minimum of a 7-
year monitoring period following wetland construction. A nearby reference wetland will also be
monitored using the same procedures for comparative analysis (see Appendix B for reference wetland
data sheet and location map).
In the headwater stream /wetland areas of SSS automatic recording gauges will also be installed to
document the presence of surface water. In addition to the presence of surface water, flow indicators,
will also be documented to demonstrate that there are surface flows through the stream /wetland
valley.
Beginning at the end of the first growing season, KCI will monitor the planted vegetation in monitoring
years 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 or until the success criterion is met. The survivability of the vegetation plantings
will be evaluated using a sufficient number of 100 mZ vegetative sampling plots randomly placed
37
Mitigation Plan
Stanley's Slough /Stanley's 11 Restoration Sites
throughout both restored sites. Permanent monuments will be established at the corners of each
monitoring plot and documented by either conventional survey or GPS. These plots will be monitored
according to the current CVS /EEP monitoring protocol. The vegetation monitoring will follow the Level 2
method of the current CVS -EEP protocol ( http: / /cvs.bio.unc.edu /methods.htm).
Photograph reference points (PRPs) will be established to assist in characterizing each site and to allow
qualitative evaluation of the site conditions. The location of each photo point will be marked in the
monitoring plan and the bearing /orientation of the photograph will be documented.
Annual monitoring reports will be prepared and submitted after all monitoring tasks for each year are
completed. The report will document the monitored components and include all collected data,
analyses, and photographs. Each report will provide the new monitoring data and compare the most
recent results against previous findings. The monitoring report format will be similar to that set out in
the most recent EEP monitoring protocol.
11.0 LONG -TERM MANAGEMENT PLAN
Upon approval for close -out by the Interagency Review Team (IRT), the sites will be transferred to the
NCDENR Division of Natural Resource Planning and Conservation's Stewardship Program. This party shall
be responsible for periodic inspection of the sites to ensure that restrictions required in the
conservation easement are upheld. Endowment funds required to uphold easement and deed
restrictions shall be negotiated prior to site transfer to the responsible party.
The NCDENR Division of Natural Resource Planning and Conservation's Stewardship Program currently
houses EEP stewardship endowments within the non - reverting, interest - bearing Conservation Lands
Stewardship Endowment Account. The use of funds from the Endowment Account is governed by North
Carolina General Statute GS 113A- 232(d)(3). Interest gained by the endowment fund may be used only
for the purpose of stewardship, monitoring, stewardship administration, and land transaction costs, if
applicable. The NCDENR Stewardship Program intends to manage the account as a non - wasting
endowment. Only interest generated from the endowment funds will be used to steward the
compensatory mitigation sites. Interest funds not used for those purposes will be re- invested in the
Endowment Account to offset losses due to inflation.
12.0 ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT PLAN
Upon completion of site construction KCI will implement the post- construction monitoring protocols
previously defined in this document. Project maintenance will be performed as described previously in
this document. If, during the course of annual monitoring it is determined the site's ability to achieve
site performance standards are jeopardized, KCI will notify the EEP and the USACE of the need to
develop a Plan of Corrective Action. The Plan of Corrective Action may be prepared using in -house
technical staff or may require engineering and consulting services. Once the Corrective Action Plan is
prepared and finalized KCI will:
1. Notify the EEP and USACE as required by the Nationwide 27 permit general conditions.
2. Revise performance standards, maintenance requirements, and monitoring requirements as
necessary and /or required by the USACE.
38

3. Obtain other permits as necessary.
4. Implement the Corrective Action Plan.
5. Provide the USACE a Record Drawing of Corrective Actions. This document shall depict the extent
and nature of the work performed.
13.0 FINANCIAL ASSURANCES
Pursuant to Section IV H and Appendix III of the Ecosystem Enhancement Program's In -Lieu Fee
Instrument dated July 28, 2010, the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
has provided the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington District with a formal commitment to fund
projects to satisfy mitigation requirements assumed by EEP. This commitment provides financial
assurance for all mitigation projects implemented by the program.

14.0 OTHER INFORMATION
14.1 Definitions
8 -digit Catalog Unit (CU) — The USGS developed a hydrologic coding system to delineate the country into
uniquely identified watersheds that can be commonly referenced and mapped. North Carolina has 54 of
these watersheds uniquely defined by an 8 -digit number. EEP typically addresses watershed — based
planning and restoration in the context of the 17 river basins (each has a unique 6 -digit number), 54
catalog units and 1,601 14 -digit hydrologic units.
14 —digit Hydrologic Unit (HU) — In order to address watershed management issues at a smaller scale, the
U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) developed methodology to delineate and uniquely
identify watersheds at a scale smaller than the 8 -digit catalog unit. A hydrologic unit is a drainage area
delineated to nest in a multilevel, hierarchical drainage system. Its boundaries are defined by
hydrographic and topographic criteria that delineate an area of land upstream from a specific point on a
river, stream or similar surface waters. North Carolina has 1,601 14 -digit hydrologic units.
DWQ— North Carolina Division of Water Quality
EEP — The North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement combines existing wetlands restoration initiatives
(formerly the Wetlands Restoration Program or NCWRP) of the N.C. Department of Environment and
Natural Resources with ongoing efforts by the N.C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT) to offset
unavoidable environmental impacts from transportation- infrastructure improvements.
Native vegetation community — a distinct and reoccurring assemblage of populations of plants, animals,
bacteria and fungi naturally associated with each other and their population; as described in Schafale,
M.P. and Weakley, A. S. (1990), Classification of the Natural Communities of North Carolina, Third
Approximation.
Project Area - includes all protected lands associated with the mitigation project.
RBRP - The River Basin Restoration Priorities are documents that delineate specific watersheds
(Targeted Local Watersheds) within a River Basin that exhibit both the need and opportunity for
wetland, stream and riparian buffer restoration.
TLW - Targeted Local Watershed, are 14 -digit hydrologic units which receive priority for EEP planning

An IRT field review was conducted for the above referenced proj ect on September 6th, 2012.
Field conditions were overcast and hot with storm activity in the general area. Recent rains were
apparent. Local rainfall data indicated above average rainfall (10.73 ") for the month of August
including two rainfall events of above 3" within 10 days of the site visit. Joe Pfeiffer and Tim
Morris from KCI presented the project to the attendees. The following issues and concerns were
documented at the meeting and will be addressed in the future development of the site.
1. ACOE expressed concern regarding the anticipated hydrology of Tributary 2 (northern
tributary) after a large portion of its drainage area would be diverted and restored to its
Memorandum
Page 2 of 6
December 7, 2012
natural course. The main concern was that the reduced size of the drainage area to
Tributary 2 would not support a perennial or potentially even an intermittent stream
classification. It was mentioned that the area may be a stream at some point along the
channel length but that it may be downstream of its current inception point as described in
the Proposal. Streamflow data and /or streamflow indicators (development of a clearly
defined high -water mark, rack/drift lines, etc.) would need to be provided to justify
credits on Tributary 2. A more clearly defined drainage area map would also help to
clarify the disposition of the resource. ACOE acknowledged that if it was determined
that the inception point of Tributary 2 was further downstream than its current location,
wetland restoration potential would exist above that point, assuming KCI could
demonstrate pre- existing hydric soils.
Prior to leaving the area ACOE indicated that they believed there was a credit risk in
developing portion of the project due to the hydrology issue.
- KCI will further examine the drainage area to Tributary 2 and attempt to refine
the inception point of the stream in this area. A detailed analysis of this work will
be presented in the mitigation plan. The monitoring plan will address the
specifics of documenting the jurisdictional status of the stream (or wetland) for
credit purposes. At this point, KCI has no intent to remove this stream from the
mitigation plan, but will consider the Corps concerns and recommendations in
determining and potentially revising the future credit yield from the area.
2. The IRT group was generally in agreement with the rest of the proposal from a stream
credit perspective. The group walked the entire channel including the area of the channel
that would be diverted back into the wooded area (Vaughan Property). DWQ indicated
that stream function would be increased significantly by diverting the stream back into its
historic location. It was noted that the stream within the wooded area had been
channelized; however the channel size and shape seemed consistent with the downstream
reference condition. Credit generation through this area would be 1:1. Grading would be
required at the tie -in points as well as targeted areas within the woods to allow the stream
to better access its historic floodplain.
The IRT group had several issues associated with the call to consider portions of the
wooded floodplain on the Vaughan property as wetland "restoration ". Currently there are
2.8 acres (out of approximately 8.5 wooded easement acres) proposed for wetland
restoration. The 2.8 acres are located outside the proposed 100'- stream mitigation
corridor. The wetland restoration areas contain hydric soils, however the hydrology
component was determined to be lacking during previous visits to the site. KCI
Memorandum
Page 3of6
December 7, 2012
explained that the area could be considered restoration if additional hydrology could be
added back into the system from the abandoned drainage area. The group questioned
whether the site was already jurisdictional and therefore more appropriately considered
being enhancement or perhaps re- establishment or rehabilitation (forms of restoration).
According to 40 CFR Part 230 "Compensatory Mitigation for Losses of Aquatic
Resources; Final Rule," Restoration (including re- establishment and rehabilitation)
differs from enhancement in that "it results in either the reestablishment of an aquatic
resource or the rehabilitation of a suite of functions at a degraded aquatic resource. In
contrast enhancement activities focus on the improvement of a subset of specific
functions." Discussion ensued and there was a general consensus that since the
hydrology of the site would be restored, the entire floodplain area may be more
appropriately described as rehabilitation and /or reestablishment as opposed to
enhancement as significant uplift would occur to a suite of functions through the re-
introduction of the historic drainage area to the site. The group agreed that the first order
of business would be to get a Jurisdictional Determination (JD). If the JD concurred that
the entire area was jurisdictional, then a call of "rehabilitation" might be appropriate
based on the circumstances. Credit ratios would then need to be determined prior to the
development of the mitigation plan. If the local Corps office agreed with the delineation,
then appropriate methods to determine functional uplift within the 2.8 acre restoration
area would need to be documented during development of the mitigation plan.
Post hoc:
- A JD meeting was held on 10 -3 -12 with Thomas Brown of the Raleigh
Field Office of the ACOE. Three flags were moved at the direction of Mr.
Brown. The final delineation plat is attached along with the Corps JD
Concurrence Notification (dated November 29, 2012) is included in
Attachment A. Of the approximately 8.5 -acre wooded area, 3.30 acres are
in the existing 100 foot stream buffer, 0.77 acres are existing wetland that
can be rehabilitated, 2.81 acres contain hydric soils that lack appropriate
hydrology (restoration /re- establishment), 0.80 acres contain upland soils
(upland preservation) and 0.52 acres of jurisdictional wetlands exists that
KCI believes will not be appropriate for rehabilitation. These wetlands
would be non - credit bearing units (preservation only).
- A second Full Delivery proposal has been submitted to add approximately
65 acres of wetland restoration Stanley's Slough project. Although this
project has not been awarded at this time, we have included the project
boundaries and a similar analysis of the sites rehabilitation/re-
establishment potential. KCI would like to solicit pre - contract comments
from the agencies on the "Stanley's II" project since the two projects are
Memorandum

so closely linked together. Attachment B shows the boundaries of both
projects along with soil delineation information and a proposed asset
map. KCFs proposed recommendations for rehabilitation and re-
establishment are included for both project areas. We have also included
recommendations for ratios. These are included in the tables below:

Tim,
Our guidance regarding wetland ratios has never been fixed to the point where we can't adjust ratios based on our best
professional judgment. Typically, in enhancement scenarios, the functional degradation can be very easily identified,
but in the system you are proposing for enhancement, we feel that the existing wetland is already very high functioning
(no major ditching, mature and appropriate vegetation structure, and acceptable hydrology). In comparing this to what
the site might be like after the work is complete, we don't see a substantial improvement - basically the site will be a bit
wetter. This could actually bring some potential negatives (e.g., mortality of the existing trees). The goal should be to
look at the function provided by the site in its current condition and compare that to what it will be like once the
improvements have been made, then base the ratio on the uplift. In this case, I don't believe that uplift will be that
much, so considering the unique circumstances of what is proposed on the site, we feel that a ratio of 2.5: 1 is
appropriate.
We have spent a lot of time thinking though this very issue as we have been working on the NC WAM implementation.
Even once NC WAM is fully implemented, it will not necessarily address these scenarios since it is not intended to be
used to predict /measure functional uplift from mitigation sites, but it may at least provide some insights into what
functional categories we consider when making that determination.
Hope this helps,

Thanks for the quick response Tyler. I think we can live with the 2.5:1 ratio for this particular project, but wanted to let
you know our thought process on the ratios that we provided. Wetland enhancement is generally give a 2:1 ratio for the
improvement of a single function. Rehabilitation, based on the description provided in the CFR, is considered an
improvement in a suite of functions. This led us to propose a ratio that was slightly better than what we typically get for
enhancement. I understand the grey area in all this, but would you consider a 2:1 so that we are at least the same as the
typical enhancement ratio? Seems like if this type of analysis comes up on future projects there would be an
inconsistency between the ratio and the definition. if the ratios will be evaluated case by case and this is just more of a
gut feeling for this particular site, we can live with that too.
Thanks for your feedback and have a great holiday!

Tim,
Thanks again for sending the notes from the meeting. Most of the minutes capture what was discussed on -site
accurately. There are however a few discrepancies between what was shown in the associated table and where we
think we should go with the credit proposals. We believe that the potential functional uplift for the stream and wetland
areas slated for Rehabilitation may be lower than anticipated and a ratio of 2.5:1 would be more appropriate.
Additionally, as noted in your response to item #1, there will be further discussions on the Reestablishment portion of
the streams and we can address that issue during the review process on the portal.
We are glad to see that you were able to incorporate the other parcel for Stanley II. That should be beneficial to site and
the project success of Stanley I.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Subject: Stanley's Slough - Rehabilitation /Re- establishment Assessment
Hey Tyler,
Sorry for the delay in getting this to you, but attached are meeting minutes from our September 6 IRT field review
meeting as well as an assessment of the credit potential at the Stanley's Slough site. As you may recall, we talked in the
field review meeting about whether this site could be a candidate to test out some of the new -ish terminology
contained in the CFR (08 Final Mitigation Rule). Specifically the definitions of rehabilitation and re- establishment, since
a good portion of the project would be improving multiple functions by reintroducing hydrology and drainage area to
degraded aquatic resources. The piece of data that was missing at the time of the meeting was a JD for the property
which we recently received from Thomas Brown. The attached letter report details what we believe is a fair
interpretation of the rule. We recognize that this is unchartered waters to some extent so we would like to get some
feedback from the Corps and /or the IRT before developing our mitigation plan for the site. A meeting is probably the
best way to hash this all out.
Also, we have included the boundaries and details for "Stanley's II" which is a FDP proposal that we recently submitted
to EEP. This expands the Stanley's Slough project to add close to 7 acres of additional RWMU's. We recognize that this
project has not been awarded yet, but the projects are so closely tied together we figured we should include the project
boundaries and credit analysis should the project come to be (we were the only submittal, so there is good potential -
knock on wood).
Your feedback is appreciated.
Thanks,

Stanley's Slough /Stanley's 11 Restoration Sites
A detailed soils investigation at the NPRS was conducted by a licensed soil scientist (# 187) to determine
the extent and distribution of the hydric soils and to classify the predominate soils to the soil series
level. The investigation consisted of delineating the hydric soil boundaries with pink flagging and
wooden survey stakes in accordance with the US Army Corps of Engineers, Wetland Delineation Manual
(1987) and the USDA Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States: A Guide for Identifying and
Delineating Hydric Soils, Version 7.0 (2010). Areas that were identified as possible hydric soil mapping
units were surveyed at a higher intensity until the edge of the mapping unit was identified. The
boundary of the hydric and non - hydric soil mapping units were then followed by continual sampling and
observations as the boundary line was identified and delineated. In those areas where the boundary was
found to be a broad gradient rather than a distinct break, microtopography, landscape position, soil
textural changes, redoximorphic features, and depleted matrices were additionally considered to
identify the extent of the hydric soils.
In developing a detailed soils map, several soil borings were advanced on the site in the general hydric
soil areas identified by landscape position, vegetation and slope. Once the hydric soil borings were
identified, the soil scientist marked the points and established a visual line to the next auger boring
where again hydric soil conditions were confirmed by additional borings. The soil scientist moved along
the edges of the mapping unit and marked each point along the line. To confirm the hydric soil mapping
unit and taxonomic classification, soil borings were advanced to a depth of 50 inches. The soil profile
descriptions identified the individual horizons in the topsoil and upper subsoil as well as the depth,
color, texture, structure, boundary, and evidence of restrictive horizons and redoximorphic features.
Delineated hydric soils boundaries were in contrast to those mapped in the Soil Survey of Northampton
County, North Carolina. The delineated hydric soil boundaries are shown in the following figure, Detailed
Soils Map.
Taxonomic Classification
The predominant soils identified on the site were of the Wehadkee (Fine - loamy, mixed, active, nonacid,
thermic Fluvaquentic Endoaquepts), Altavista (Fine - loamy, mixed, semiactive, thermic Aquic
Hapludults), Roanoke (Fine, mixed, semiactive, thermic Typic Endoaquults), and Tomotley (Fine - loamy,
mixed, semiactive, thermic Typic Endoaquults) soil series. Other soil series include Tarboro, Winton, and
Winton with Pelham inclusions. All of these series except for Altavista and Augusta are listed as hydric
soils in Northampton County, North Carolina. They are defined as hydric due to saturation for a
significant period during the growing season. This soil is listed as hydric on the federal, state and local
lists. They are also listed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) as hydric soils.

A 50' BY 50' WATER QUALITY BMP WILL BE INSTALLED IN THIS AREA TO
MAXIMIZE SEEP PRODUCTION AND TREAT AGRICULTURAL RUNOFF PRIOR TO
ENTERING THE STREAM. THIS BMP WILL BE CREATED BY UNDERCUTTING
APPROXIMATELY 2' OF EXISTING SUBSOIL AND REPLACING THAT MATERIAL
WITH A 6" LAYER OF 57 STONE OVER FILTER FABRIC. THE STONE WILL BE
COVERED BY V LIFT OF A CERTIFIED COMPOST PRODUCT COVERED BY 6" OF
-
\
WOOD CHIPS. LOG SILLS WILL BE USED TO LOCK THE BMP IN PLACE.
