Martin Dairy Mitigation Site
Monitoring Year 4 Annual Report — FINAL
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. (Wildlands) implemented a full delivery project at the Martin Dairy
Mitigation Site (Site) for the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Division of Mitigation
Services (DMS) to restore a total of 2,135 linear feet (LF) of perennial streams in Orange County, NC. The
Site is expected to generate 2,135 stream credits. All stream lengths were measured along the stream
centerline for stream credit calculations. The Site is located approximately eight miles northeast of
Hillsborough, NC and eight miles south of Caldwell, NC (Figure 1) in the Neuse River Basin 8-Digit
Hydrologic Unit Code 03020201. The project is located within the Neuse River Basin Hydrologic Unit
Code 03020201030030 and NC Division of Water Resources (DWR) Subbasin 03-04-01. There are two
unnamed streams on the Site, Martin Dairy Creek and UT1 with a downstream drainage area of 526
acres. The Site drains to the Eno River which flows to Falls Lake and is classified as water supply waters
(WS-IV). The 11.155-acre Site is protected with a permanent conservation easement.
The Site is located within the Neuse River Targeted Local Watershed as presented in the 2010 Neuse
River Basin Restoration Priorities (RBRP) (Breeding, 2010), which highlights the importance of riparian
buffers for stream restoration projects. The Site was an active dairy farm until 2014 when livestock were
removed.
The project goals established in the Mitigation Plan (Wildlands, 2017) were developed considering the
goals and objectives listed in the Neuse River RBRP plan. The project goals include:
• Reconnect channels with floodplains and riparian wetlands to allow a natural flooding regime;
• Improve the stability of stream channels;
• Restore and enhance native floodplain and streambank vegetation;
• Improve instream habitat; and
• Permanently protect the Site from harmful land uses.
The project will contribute to achieving the goals for the watershed listed in the Neuse River RBRP and
provide ecological benefits within the Neuse River Basin. While benefits such as habitat improvement
and geomorphic stability are limited to the Site, reduced nutrient and sediment loading have farther
reaching effects. In addition, planned and implemented projects in the same watershed and basin as this
Site will realize cumulative benefits.
The Site construction and as -built surveys were completed between July 2017 and January 2018.
Monitoring Year 4 (MY4) assessments and site visits were completed between January and October
2021 to visually assess the conditions of the project and collect stream hydrology data. Per North
Carolina Interagency Review Team (NCIRT) guidelines, detailed monitoring and analysis of vegetation,
substrate, and channel cross -sectional dimensions did not occur during MY4. Visual observations,
hydrology data, and management practices are included in this report. To preserve the clarity and
continuity of reporting structure, this report maintains section and appendix numbering from previous
monitoring reports. Omitted sections are denoted in the Table of Contents.
Site performance for vegetation, stream geomorphology, and hydrology appear to be successful based
on visual assessments and are expected to exceed success criteria for MY5. Vegetation density and
diversity have noticeably improved from MY3 and appear to be performing adequately to attain the
interim success criteria of 260 stems per acre at the end of MY5. Visual observation indicated that
stream channels have remained geomorphically stable and multiple bankfull events were recorded on
both Martin Dairy and UT1.

Monitoring Year 4 Annual Report — FINAL iv
Section 1: PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Martin Dairy Mitigation Site (Site) is located in central Orange County, approximately eight miles
northeast of Hillsborough, NC and eight miles south of Caldwell, NC off of Schley Road (Figure 1). The
Site is located in the Neuse River Basin and within the Falls Lake Water Supply Watershed, which has
been designated a Nutrient Sensitive Water. The project streams drain to the Eno River and eventually
to the Falls Lake Reservoir. The Site is within Hydrologic Unit Code 03020201030030, which is a Targeted
Local Watershed (Figure 1) as identified in the 2010 Neuse River Basin Restoration Priorities (RBRP)
(Breeding, 2010). The Site is in in the Carolina Slate Belt of the Piedmont Physiographic Province (USGS,
1998). The project watershed consists primarily of agricultural and wooded land and the drainage area
for project site is 526 acres (0.82 square miles).
The project streams consist of Martin Dairy Creek and one unnamed tributary (UT1). Mitigation work
within the Site included restoration of 2,135 linear feet (LF) of perennial stream channels. The riparian
areas were planted with native vegetation to improve habitat and protect water quality. The final
Mitigation Plan (Wildlands, 2017) was submitted to and accepted by DMS in March 2017. Construction
activities were completed by Land Mechanic Designs, Inc. in July 2017. Planting and seeding activities
were completed by Bruton Natural Systems, Inc. in December 2017. Baseline monitoring (MYO) was
conducted between August 2017 and January 2018. Monitoring Year 4 was conducted in 2021. Annual
monitoring will occur for seven years with the close-out anticipated to occur in 2025 given the success
criteria are met. Appendix 1 provides additional details on project activity, history, contact information,
and watershed/background information for the Site.
The Site is located on two tracts under the ownership of Ted H. Martin (PIN 9896-83-0483 & 9896-83-
9111). A conservation easement was recorded on 11.155 acres (Deed Book 6218, Pages 270 - 289). The
project is expected to provide 2,135 stream credits by closeout.
A project vicinity map and directions are provided in Figure 1 and project components/assets are
illustrated in Figure 2.
1.1 Project Goals and Objectives
Prior to construction activities, the primary degradation at the Site was the clearing of vegetation and
channelization of Martin Dairy Creek and UT1. Channelization, as indicated by dredge spoil in the
floodplain, involved straightening and deepening of the stream. Historic livestock grazing and hay
cultivation on the Site further contributed to degradation of the riparian corridor and stream channel.
Table 4 in Appendix 1 and Tables 10a and 10b found in Appendix 4 of the MY3 report present the pre -
restoration conditions in detail.
The project is intended to provide numerous ecological benefits within the Neuse River Basin. While
benefits such as habitat improvement and geomorphic stability are limited to the project site, reduced
nutrient and sediment loading have farther reaching effects. The table below, describes expected
outcomes to water quality and ecological processes are provided with project goals and objectives. The
project goals and objectives were developed as part of the Mitigation Plan considering the goals and
objectives listed in the Neuse River RBRP plan and strive to maximize ecological and water quality uplift
within the watershed.
The following project goals and related objectives established in the Mitigation Plan (Wildlands, 2017)
include:

1.2 Monitoring Year 4 Data Assessment
Annual monitoring and quarterly site visits were conducted during monitoring year 4 (MY4) to visually
assess the condition of the project and collect hydrology data. Per NCIRT guidelines, detailed monitoring
and analysis of vegetation, substrate, and channel cross -sectional dimensions did not occur during MY4.
1.2.1 Vegetative Assessment
Detailed vegetation inventory and analysis is not required during MY4. Visual assessment during MY4
indicated that vegetation is performing adequately to attain interim success criteria of 260 planted
stems per acre at the end of MY5 and terminal success criteria of 210 planted stems per acre averaging
ten feet in height at the end of MY7.
Tree vigor and vegetative cover along UT1 has vastly improved from MY3. Container trees and tublings
planted in MY3 have thrived and vegetative and herbaceous cover has benefited from the addition of
soil amendments. The effects of the supplemental planting done during the prior year can be seen
through improvements in stem density across the Site.
Martin Dairy Mitigation Site
Monitoring Year 4 Annual Report — FINAL 1-2
1.2.2 Vegetation Areas of Concern
No Vegetative Areas of Concern were identified during MY4.
1.2.3 Stream Assessment
Detailed dimensional survey and analysis is not required during MY4. Visual monitoring indicated that
the stream channel is performing as designed. No deposition or erosion exceeding approximate natural
levels or indicators of channel instability were observed.
1.2.4 Stream Areas of Concern
No Stream Areas of Concern were identified during MY4.
1.2.5 Hydrology Assessment
At the end of the MY7, two or more bankfull events must have occurred in separate years within the
restoration reaches. Multiple bankfull events were recorded on both Martin Dairy Creek and UT1 with
automated crest gages during MY4 data collection. Both Martin Dairy Creek and UT1 recorded bankfull
events during MY1, MY2, MY3, and MY4 (Table 13); therefore, the Site has met the bankfull frequency
success criteria for the seven year monitoring period.
1.3 Monitoring Year 4 Summary
Visual assessment indicated that all stream reaches within the Site are geomorphically stable and
functioning as designed. Vegetation has become well established along the stream banks providing
shade, stability, and a source of organic material. Survival and growth of planted trees appear to be on
track meet interim success criteria. The effects of the supplemental planting completed the prior year
can be seen across the Site. Herbaceous vegetation is thriving, and species diversity and abundance
appears to have increased. Bankfull event frequency criteria have been satisfied for the duration of the
monitoring period.

Monitoring Year 4 Annual Report — FINAL 1-3
Section 2: METHODOLOGY
All data collected for the Integrated Current Condition Mapping was recorded using a Trimble handheld
GPS with sub -meter accuracy and processed using Pathfinder and ArcGIS software. Crest gages and
pressure transducers were installed in surveyed riffle cross sections and monitored quarterly. Hydrology
attainment installation and monitoring methods are in accordance with the USACE (2003) standards.
Vegetation monitoring protocols followed the Carolina Vegetation Survey-NCDMS Level 2 Protocol (Lee
et al., 2008). Summary information and data related to the success of various project 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 Plan documents
available on DMS's website. All raw data supporting the tables and figures in the appendices are
available from DMS upon request.

The subject project site is an environmental restoration site of the
NCDEQ Division of Mitigation Services (DIMS) and is
encompassed by a recorded conservation easement, but is
bordered by land under private ownership. Accessing the site may
require traversing areas near or along the easement boundary and
therefore access by the general public is not permitted. Access by
authorized personnel of state and federal agencies or their
designees/contractors involved in the development, oversight,
and stewardship of the restoration site is permitted within the terms
and timeframes of their defined roles. Any intended site visitation or
activity by any person outside of these previously sanctioned roles
and activites requires prior coordination with DIMS.
