EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Clayhill Farms Stream and Wetland Restoration Site (Site) is located in southern Jones County,
approximately 1 mile north of the Town of Kuhns and 0 75 mile north of the Carteret County /Jones
County line The Site is located east of Highway 58 and is bordered by the Croatan National Forest to the
north, east, and west and by various forested and residential parcels to the south Site streams, Billy's
Branch and other unnamed tributaries to Hunters Creek, bisect the Site The project is located within the
White Oak River Basin in United States Geological Survey (USGS) 14 -digit Hydrologic Unit
03020106010060 (North Carolina Division of Water Quality [NCDWQ] subbasin 03- 05 -01) This
document serves as the 2010 Year Five Annual Monitoring Report
Twenty groundwater gauges were maintained and monitored for the year 5 (2010) growing season
Groundwater hydrology within 12 inches of the soil surface is occurring for greater than 12 5 percent of
the growing season for year 5 (2010) at Gauges GW1 -GW9 and GW18 The remainder of the gauges
were saturated or inundated for less than 12 5 percent of the growing season (Gauges GW 10 -GW 17 and
GW 19 -GW20) Gauges currently below 12 5 percent of the growing season are located within the lower
half of the Site near the restored stream channel
Ten 10 -meter square vegetation plots were monitored for the year 5 (2010) season Based on stem
counts, the average plot density monitored at this Site is greater than 290 stems per acre and is considered
successful The average plot density has been measured at 672 planted stems per acre for 2010 (year 5)
monitoring Doinmant species identified at the Site were overcup oak (Quercus lyrata), tupelo species
( Nyssa biflora and Nyssa sp ), and green ash (Fraxmus pennsylvanica) Nine out of the ten individual
vegetation plots were above success criteria with 364 to 1578 planted stems per acre Planted stems were
not documented during planting making it difficult to determine planted trees from naturally recruited
trees Therefore, the number of "planted" species was based on the experience and judgment of the
monitoring team, and counts for planted species may be influenced by naturally recruited stems In
addition, the range of variation for survival between individual plots may be influenced by varied planting
densities throughout the Site Vegetation plot 9 had no planted stems per acre remaining, however, when
including natural recruits of pine (Pinus sp ), willow oak (Quercus phellos), wax myrtle (Morello
cerifera), and red maple (Acer rubrum) the stem count was above 2500 stems per acre
One vegetation problem area noted throughout the monitoring period consists of a large area of poor
planted stem survival/bare area adjacent to the restored stream Poor survival most likely has resulted
from soil infertility A lack of vegetation has resulted in aggradation of the stream channel in the vicinity
of the bare area with ponding within the channel immediately upstream (Figure 3B, Appendix A) One
additional stressed cross -vane resulting from a lack of footers was noted, however, the bed and banks up
and downstream of the structure are stable and this is not anticipated to cause any problems
Based on visual observation during the year 5 (2010) monitoring, channel geometry compares favorably
with the emulated, stable E/C stream type as set forth in the detailed mitigation plan The current
monitoring observations demonstrate that dimension, pattern, and profile were stable over the course of
the year 5 (20 10) monitoring period
In summary, the Site achieved success criteria for vegetation and stream attributes in the Fifth Monitoring
Year (2010) The upper /northwestern half of the Site achieved hydrology success criteria for the Fifth
Monitoring Year (2010)

1.4 Mitigation Structure and Objectives
In the early 1970s the Site was logged and portions of the Site were converted to agricultural land At
that time, perimeter and interior drainage ditches were excavated and Site streams were cha inelized in
support of land uses
The primary mitigation activities at the Site included restoration of previously ditched and filled wetlands,
vegetative enhancement of previously cleared wetlands within agricultural fields, preservation of the
forested wetlands, restoration of channelized stream channel, and preservation of secondary tributaries
within forested wetlands
Restoration activities at the Site entailed 1) plugging and filling of feeder ditches, 2) removal of crowning
within fields, 3) clearing and grading to prepare for creation of the new stream alignment, 4) construction
of a stable channel, 5) filling of the abandoned stream channel with onsite materials excavated from the
floodplam and other upland areas, 6) installation of a grade control structure at the downstream end of the
restoration reach, 7) removal of the bridge crossing of Billy's Branch within the southeast portion of the
Site, and 8) ripping/scarifing soils to prepare for planting
The primary goals of the project include 1) maxiimzmg the area returned to historic wetland function, 2)
establishing stable dimension, pattern, and profile along Billy's Branch, 3) expanding, enhancing, and
preserving 355 6 acres adjacent to the Croatan National Forest, 4) protecting the Site with a conservation
easement in perpetuity, 5) providing valuable habitat to a diverse assemblage of terrestrial and aquatic
flora and fauna, 6) serving as a wildlife corridor, and 7) providing numerous wetland values including
water storage, pollutant removal, aquatic /wildlife habitat, recreation, and education Project structures
and objectives are summarized in Table 1 and are depicted on Figure 2

2.0 HYDROLOGY
2.1 Success Criteria
Success criteria for wetland hydrology at Clayhill Farms require inundation or saturation within 12 inches
of the ground surface for a consecutive period of 12 5 percent of the growing season, or if the hydroperiod
is within 20 percent of an approved reference wetland hydroperiod within drought years The growing
season for Jones County begins March 15 and ends November 11 (242 days) In order to attain
hydrologic success, saturation within 12 inches of the ground surface is required for at least 30
consecutive days (12 5 percent of the growing season)
2.2 Hydrologic Description
Twenty groundwater monitoring gauges have been maintained and monitored throughout the year 5
(2010) growing season (Figures 3A -313) Daily rainfall data recorded from a rain gauge maintained and
monitored on the Site was used for seasonal comparison Graphs of groundwater hydrology and
precipitation are included in Appendix A

2.3 Results of Hydrologic Monitoring
2.3.1 Site Data
Twenty gauges were maintained and monitored for the year 5 (2010) growing season Groundwater
hydrology within 12 inches of the soil surface is occurring for greater than 12 5 percent of the growing
season for year 5 (2010) at Gauges GW1 -GW9 and GW18 The remainder of the gauges were saturated
or inundated for less than 12 5 percent of the growing season (Gauges GW10 -GW17 and GW19 -GW20)
Gauges currently below 12 5 percent of the success criteria are located within the lower half of the Site
near the restored stream channel

2.3.2 Climatic Data
Climatic data for the year 5 (2010) growing season is compared to previous momtormg years growing
season data and precipitation probabilities from 30 -year historical data at the New Bern Craven County
Airport station (Figure 4) (NOAA 2004) The Site experienced above average rainfall for the year 5
(2010) growing season totaling greater than 49 2 inches for the months of March to October as the result
of a large storm at the end of September 2010 compared to the mean 30 -year historic total for rainfall of
approximately 34 6 inches
2.4 Hydrologic Conclusions
Twenty gauges were maintained and monitored for the year 5 (2010) growing season, gauge results are
depicted on Figures 3A -3B and graphs for each gauge can be found in Appendix A Ten of the twenty
monitored gauges met success criteria of inundation/saturation within 12 inches of the surface for at least
12 5 percent of the growing season
3.0 VEGETATION
3.1 Success Criteria
Wetland vegetation success criteria at Clayhill Farms require an average across the Site of 320 stems per
acre of approved target species surviving for the first three years of monitoring, 290 stems per acre in year
four, and 260 stems per acre in year five

3.2 Description of Planted Areas
According to the 2006 Revised Wetland and Stream Mitigation Plan for the Clayhill Farms Property,
planted species were to include the following communities as described in Schafale and Weakley (1990):
1. Coastal Plain Small Stream Swamp
2. Nonriverine Wet Hardwoods Forest
3. Mesic Pine Flatwoods
4. Mixed -Mesic Hardwood Forest (Coastal Plain subtype)
5. Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwood Forest (Blackwater subtype)
3.3 Results of Vegetation Monitoring
Ten 10 -meter square vegetation plots were established as depicted in Figures 3A -3B in November 2006.
Plots were surveyed in July 2010 for the year 5 (2010) monitoring season using the CVS -EEP Protocol
for Recording Vegetation, Version 4.0 (Lee et al. 2006) ( http: / /cvs.bio.unc.edu/methods.htm); results are
included in Table 3 and pictures are included in Appendix B. The taxonomic standard for vegetation used
for this document was Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, Georgia, and Surrounding Areas ( Weakley 2007).
No reference area was studied; therefore, no comparisons could be made to reference conditions. Three
plots (Plots 5, 6, and 7) were established in the Headwater Swamp, three plots (Plots 4, 3, and 8) in the
Nonriverine Wet Hardwood Forest, two plots (Plots 1 and 2) in the Mesic Pine Flatwoods, and two plots
(Plots 9 and 10) in the Mixed -Mesic Hardwood Forest restoration areas.
Based on stem counts, the average plot density monitored at the Site is greater than 290 stems per acre
and is considered successful. The average plot density has been measured at 672 planted stems per acre
for 2010 (year 5) monitoring. Dominant species identified at the Site were overcup oak (Quercus lyrata),
tupelo species ( Nyssa biflora and Nyssa sp.), and green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica). Nine out of the ten
individual vegetation plots were above success criteria with 364 to 1578 planted stems per acre. Planted
stems were not documented during planting making it difficult to determine planted trees from naturally
recruited trees. Therefore, the number of "planted" species was based on the experience and judgment of
the monitoring team, and counts for planted species may be influenced by naturally recruited stems. In
addition, the range of variation for survival between individual plots may be influenced by varied planting
densities throughout the Site. Vegetation plot 9 had no planted stems per acre remaining; however, when
including natural recruits of pine (Pines sp.), willow oak (Quercus phellos), wax myrtle (Morelia
cerifera), and red maple (Acer rubrum) the stem count was above 2500 stems per acre.
3.4 Vegetation Conclusions
Based on the number of stems counted, the average plot density monitored at this Site is greater than 260
stems per acre and is considered successful for 2010 (year 5) monitoring. The average plot density has
been measured at 672 planted stems per acre. Planted seedlings exhibited various degrees of vigor at the
Site. Overall, vigor of Site vegetation was noted as good.
One vegetation problem area was documented within the Site and is depicted on Figure 3B. The area
consists of poor planted stem survival/bare area adjacent to the restored stream; photographs of this area
are included in Appendix B. Poor survival most likely has resulted from soil infertility. A lack of
vegetation has resulted in aggradation of the stream channel in the vicinity of the bare area with ponding
within the channel immediately upstream.

4.0 STREAM ASSESSMENT
4.1 Success Criteria
Success criteria dictate that based on visual observations there should be little or no change in the as -built
cross - sections If a change takes place it should be determined if the change is to a more unstable
condition (downcutting, erosion) or to a more stable condition (settling, increase in riparian vegetation,
deposition along the banks, decrease in the width -depth ratio, decrease in cross - sectional area) The as-
built longitudinal profile should show that bed features are neither aggrading nor degrading based on
visual observation, however, short -term aggradation/degradation may occur depending on the peak annual
discharge Bed features should be consistent with those observed in typical E- and C -type channels The
as -built pattern should not change and the riffle -pool sequence should remain constant A significant
coarsening of bed materials is not expected due to the sand/silt/clay substrate, therefore, bed materials
will not be analyzed for stream success
4.2 Stream Assessment Results
4.2.1 Visual Stream Observations
Based on visual observation during the year 5 (2010) monitoring, channel geometry compares favorably
with the emulated, stable E/C stream type as set forth in the detailed mitigation plan The current
monitoring observations demonstrate that dimension, pattern, and profile were stable over the course of
the year 5 (2010) monitoring period

4.3 Stream Assessment Conclusions
Based on stream observations, the channel geometry compares favorably with the emulated, stable E/C
type stream reaches as set forth in the detailed mitigation plan. The current monitoring observations
demonstrate that dimension, pattern, and profile were stable over the course of the five -year monitoring
period.
Stream problem areas within the Site are depicted on Figures 3A through 3B. Two problem areas were
noted. The first is related to a bare area noted previously in the vegetation section (Section 3.4 Vegetation
Conclusions). The second is a stressed cross -vane resulting from a lack of footers was noted; however,
the bed and banks up and downstream of the structure are stable and this is not anticipated to cause any
problems. Photographs of each are included in Appendix B and Appendix C, respectively.
5.0 OVERALL CONCLUSIONS /RECOMMENDATIONS
Twenty gauges were maintained and monitored for the year 5 (2010) growing season. Ten of the twenty
monitored gauges met success criteria of inundation/saturation within 12 inches of the surface for at least
12.5 percent of the growing season. Nine of the gauges that met success criteria are located in the
upper /northwestern part of the Site.
Based on the number of stems counted, the average plot density monitored at this Site is greater than 260
stems per acre and is considered successful for 2010 (year 5) monitoring. The average plot density has
been measured at 672 planted stems per acre. Planted seedlings exhibited various degrees of vigor at the
Site. Overall, vigor of Site vegetation was noted as good.
Based on stream observations, channel geometry compares favorably with the emulated, stable E/C type
stream reaches as set forth in the detailed mitigation plan. The current monitoring observations
demonstrate that dimension, pattern, and profile were stable over the course of the year 5 (2010)
monitoring period.
In summary, the Site achieved success criteria for vegetation and stream attributes in the Fifth Monitoring
Year (2010). The upper /northwestern half of the Site achieved hydrology success criteria for the Fifth
Monitoring Year (2010).
