1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Sandy Creek is a wetland restoration and stream enhancement mitigation site located in Durham County,
North Carolina The project consists of 3 13 acres of wetland restoration and 2,461 linear feet of Level II
stream enhancement The conservation easement encompasses 22 6 acres There is an additional 7 1
acres of existing wetlands within the conservation easement Construction originally took place in 2003
entailing stream enhancement that involved the installation of log vanes to create pool features that will
enhance habitat and water quality along 2,461 linear feet of stream In 2004, the site was partially
replanted due to low plant survivorship The wetland restoration area was again re- graded between
December 2009 and February 2010 to correct final grade elevations to establish proper wetland
hydrology Topsoil was added to improve soil fertility for plant growth and the graded areas were
replanted with native plant species
1.1 Goals and Objectives
Project Goals
• Improve water quality by incorporating log vanes within the stream channel and planting the
stream buffer
• Improve wetland hydrology with the removal of fill material and the sludge drying beds
• Improve in- stream habitat with the installation of log vanes to enhance pool depths
• Restore wetland function with the incorporation of wetland woody and herbaceous plant species
Project Objectives
• The Level II stream enhancement of 2,461 linear feet of Sandy Creek
• Restoration of 3 13 acres of wetlands through the removal of fill material and the sludge drying
beds to improve wetland hydrology
• Establishment of a 22 6 acres conservation easement
1.2 Vegetative Assessment
Wetland maintenance activities conducted in December 2009 involved the removal of vegetation where
vegetation monitoring plots 2, 3, and 4 were located, leaving only vegetation monitoring plot 1 intact
The site was replanted and plots 2, 3, and 4, were re- established in February 2010 Level I of the CVS-
EEP protocol was administered for plots 2, 3, and 4 for Monitoring Year (MY) -05, which accounts for
planted stems only Vegetation monitoring plot 1 was not replanted therefore it remained in place where
it was originally established in 2004 Level 1I of the CVS -EEP protocol was administered for plot 1
which includes planted and natural stems As of the August of 2010, including all four monitoring plots,
there were 242 planted stems /acre and 333 stems /acre including natural and planted stems The success
criterion for planted woody species is 320 stems /acre after MY -03 A mortality rate of ten percent will be
allowed after MY -04 (288 stems /acre), with another ten percent allowed after MY -05 (260 stems /acre)
The primary reason for low plant survivorship in 2010 was due to abnormally wet conditions in the
Spring 2010 resulting in long periods of standing water that essentially drowned to newly installed plants
before plantings could get established Soil conditions at the site were improved with the addition of
topsoil during the wetland maintenance activities Due to a high mortality rate of the plantings installed
in January 2010, the contractor was required to replant the site in March 2011 Planted stems were

marked with flagging and counted for each plot in order to accurately monitor survivorship for MY -06
Currently all plots are meeting success criteria
Invasive exotic species on site include several stands of Chinese lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata), observed
along the woodland margins and within vegetation monitoring plot 1 These areas were not disturbed
during the wetland maintenance activities conducted between December 2009 and February 2010
1.3 Stream Assessment
The log vanes in Sandy Creek were evaluated for stability and effectiveness Structurally, the site looks
increasingly stable The stream banks exhibit very little degradation and are stable and vegetated for the
majority of the stream There area few areas where debris has collected that is creating minor bank
erosion Most of the log vanes were located and photographed Some log vanes appear to have been
covered by sediment Photographs were also taken of the debris areas
1.4 Wetland Assessment
The site was re- graded between December 2009 and February 2010 New groundwater gauges were
installed in the spring of 2010 at three locations — the reference wetland gauge, gauge A, and gauge C
Gauge B remained undisturbed in its original location There are data gaps from March to June 2010 for
the reference gauge, gauge A, and gauge C A complete growing season dataset was only collected from
gauge B Gauge B did exhibit saturation within 12 inches of the ground surface for more than 12 5% of
the growing season The average annual growing season for Durham County is 227 days (March 30 -
November 11) Groundwater data for a complete growing season for all gauges will be available from the
2011 growing season and will be provided in the 2011 Monitoring Year 6 Report
1.5 Annual Monitoring Summary
Summary information/data related to the occurrence of items such as beaver or encroachment and
statistics related to performance of various projects and monitoring elements can be found in the tables
and figures in the report appendices Narrative background and supporting information formerly found in
these reports can be found in the mitigation and restoration plan documents available on ESP's website
All raw data supporting the tables and figures in the appendices are available from EEP upon request
2.0 METHODOLOGY
All monitoring methodologies are a combination of current NCEEP templates and guidelines and
previous monitoring reports (EEP template version 12 1 2009) Stream assessments followed
methodologies outlined in Applied River Morphology (Rosgen 1996) Levels 1 and 2 of the CVS -EEP
vegetation monitoring protocol was followed for all vegetation assessments (Lee et al 2006)
Precipitation data were obtained from the State Climate Office of North Carolina (http / /www nc-
climate ncsu edu /services /request php) Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, Georgia, and surrounding
areas was the taxonomic standard used throughout data collection (Weakley 2011)
