The restoration was completed to achieve the following objectives. • Restore aquatic /terrestrial habitat • Improve water quality • Increase groundwater recharge • Enhance nutrient cycling • Restore a native bottomland hardwood community Project construction occurred in November 2006 Construction involved plugging and filling ditches, installing level spreaders, and creating microtopography The site was planted with native trees and shrubs common to Piedmont Bottomland Hardwood communities Following construction and planting, baseline data collection occurred in February 2007 This report describes the fourth year of monitoring that took place in 2010 Vegetation was planted at densities of approximately 436 and 100 -200 stems per acre in the restored and enhanced wetlands, respectively Twenty vegetation plots are monitored to assess planted vegetation survivability, growth, and vigor The fourth year of monitoring counted an average of 310 planted stems /acre, which is slightly below the success criterion of 320 stems /acre However, the site averages 1,020 total stems /acre, which includes woody volunteers in the monitoring plots excluding red maple (Acer rubrum) and sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) Supplemental planting with bare root trees was conducted at the site in the winter of 2009 /2010 The planting stock was selected to be larger than traditional bare root material A few of the monitoring plots had planted trees in them An assessment of the site's vegetation found Chinese privet (Ligustrum slnense), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), and multiflora rose (Rosa multlflora) on the outskirts of the site with Chinese lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata) and thistle (Cirslum sp ) observed within the site These species will continue to be monitored to determine if other corrective action is necessary Fourth year monitoring found the vegetation component of the project to be on track to meeting the success criteria The hydrology success criterion states that groundwater must be within 12 inches of the soil surface in excess of 12 consecutive days (5% of the growing season) at each well During 2010, wetland hydrology was achieved at all seven wells in the restoration area and the well in the reference wetland, with five of the seven wells having hydropenods longer than 12 5% of the growing season The daily rainfall data depicted on the gauge data graphs were obtained from the on -site precipitation gauge The precipitation gauge was installed in 2006 prior to project implementation Daily rainfall data were obtained from the State Climate Office of North Carolina for Durham, North Carolina to confirm on -site precipitation data. The combined precipitation data show that the site experienced normal precipitation during the 2010 growing season Site photographs were taken from permanent photo points established throughout the site Photo documentation facilitates the qualitative evaluation of wetland conditions The photo point locations were selected in order to document representative site conditions The results of the fourth year of monitoring of the Brown Farm Wetland Restoration Project indicate that the site is on track to meeting the project's success criteria Brown Farm Wetland Restoration KCI Associates of North Carolina Basin 03030002 2010 - MY04 1.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND 1.1 Project Objectives • Restore aquatic /terrestrial wildlife habitat • Improve water quality • Increase groundwater recharge • Enhance nutrient cycling • Restore a native bottomland hardwood community 1.2 Project Structure, Restoration Type, and Approach Before restoration, the land use was primarily agricultural for at least the past 50 years The wetland was restored by plugging and filling drainage ditches throughout the site, removing ditch spoil from wooded areas to restore natural drainage patterns, placing water diversion features to redistribute the surface hydrology, recreating microtopography across the site to enhance surface water retention and storage, and planting the site with Piedmont Bottomland Hardwood Forest species 1.3 Location and Setting The Brown Farm Wetland Restoration Site is located within the 03030002 (Upper Cape Fear 02) Watershed Cataloging Unit (8 -digit HUC) and North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) Sub - basin 03 -06 -05 (Figure 1) New Hope Creek, which runs adjacent to the site, has a contributing drainage area of 33 3 square miles (21,331 acres) at the downstream limits of the project Jordan Lake is approximately 11 miles downstream of the site The project watershed is located within the Piedmont physiographic province and is part of the Triassic Basins Level IV Ecoregion. 1.4 Project History and Background Table 1.

These surrounding areas have helped seed the site, contributing to a large number of volunteers in the monitoring plots There was an increase in the site average of planted stems /acre during the fourth monitoring year This reflects the addition of planted trees as well as trees that had been counted as dead resprouting The mortality of the planted stems is primarily related to deer browse and competition from dense herbaceous vegetation The volunteer plants that were counted during the 2010 monitoring include green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis), willow oak (Quercus phellos), sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), eastern baccharis ( Baccharls hahmifolla), and slippery elm (Ulmus fulva) Red maple (Acer rubrum) and sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciva) were also counted, but since they are common successional species, they were not included in the density calculations for this report The fourth year of monitoring found an average of 310 planted stems /acre and 1,052 total stems /acre for the site based on the monitored vegetation plots Even though there has been some mortality of the planted stems, based on the average total stems /acre, the site is on track to meeting the success criteria set in the restoration plan of 320 stems /acre The qualitative vegetation assessment of the site found that there were many woody stems throughout the site and that there is a healthy mix of wetland herbaceous vegetation covering the site as well For additional data on the counted stems, volunteer stems, and photos of the vegetation plots, see Appendix A 2.2 Wetland Criteria Attainment Tables Table 5.
