92351— Meadowbranch Swamp — MY2 Final Report (Version 1 4, 11/07/11) URS — November 2013

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY/PROJECT ABSTRACT
The goal of this project was to restore, enhance, and preserve the project area The project
created low areas in an access road adjacent to the Meadowbranch Canal based on flood
elevations, removed a former logging road, and planted native wetland vegetation in select areas
According to the Restoration Plan (The John R McAdams Company, Inc, 2007) and the
Baseline Monitoring Report (EcoEngineering, 2011), the intent of this project was to return the
site to a more natural hydrologic state to accomplish the following objectives:
• Store and treat runoff from 1.8 square miles of developed land, nearly half of Lumberton,
which drains to the project site
• Allow for retention and treatment of sediment, nutrients, and toxins to improve water
quality of the Lumber River, which is listed as impaired approximately six miles
downstream of the project site
• Support the goals outlined in the 2003 Lumber, River Basinwide Water Quality Plan by
implementing a project within a watershed that has been identified by the NC Wetlands
Restoration Program (NCWRP) as having the greatest need.
• Assist in the improvement of water quality; the Basinwide Water Quality Plan indicates
406 miles of waters within Subbasin 03 -07 -51 are impaired
• Provide a more natural flood regime and flood storage for waters in Meadowbranch
Swamp
• Connect to surrounding wetland areas and enhance the wildlife habitat present in the
wetland
The project site is approximately one -half mile west - northwest of Lumberton, in Robeson
County, North Carolina The site consists of a wooded parcel owned by the Lumber River
Conservancy which encompasses approximately 55 4 acres The site is located along Carthage
Road which bounds the site to the south. Located immediately adjacent to the west of the site is
a channelized water feature known as Meadowbranch Swamp Canal. There is an access road,
which is maintained by the City of Lumberton, along Meadowbranch Swamp Canal which
extends north from Carthage Road to NC 211 In addition, there was a former logging road
located within the interior of the site which began approximately 100 feet from Meadowbranch
Swamp Canal. The former logging road began at Carthage Road and extended north, roughly
paralleling Meadowbranch Swamp Canal for a distance of approximately 2,000 feet Along the
eastern edge of the former logging road was a ditch feature
The site is located in the Inner Coastal Plain Physiographic Region of North Carolina and lies
within US Geological Survey (USGS) Hydrologic Unit Code 03040203 080010 (NCDENR,
2003), which falls within the Lumber River Basin The NC Division of Water Resources
(NCDWR) River Subbasm for the project area is listed as the Lumber 03 -07 -51 (NCDENR,
2003). The current state classification (NCDENR, 2012) for Meadowbranch Swamp (Stream
Index # 14 -12) from its source to the Lumber River, is C, Sw (swamp waters). Class C waters
support aquatic life, wildlife, and they can also be used for secondary recreation and agriculture.
The Sw classification is intended for waters which have low velocities and other natural
characteristics different from adjacent streams
92351 — Meadowbranch Swamp — MY2 Final Report (Version 1 4, 11/07/11) URS — November 2013

The project site is almost entirely forested primarily with young hardwoods and some areas of
young pine This is due to the fact that the site was logged approximately 15 years ago Due to
the timing of the logging, the site is currently at a stage of succession where the vegetation is
very dense Currently, there are a few small areas near the access road along Meadowbranch
Swamp that still have stands of relatively older growth bald cypress (Tazodium distichum) and
would be designated as Cypress -Gum Swamp Other larger areas have some young bald cypress,
but the areas are more dominated by red maple (Acer rubrum) and river birch (Betula nigra).
Aside from the few areas of Cypress -Gum Swamp on the site, the remainder of the area could
best be described as a disturbed site undergoing succession to a Coastal Plain Bottomland
Hardwood (based on reference wetland conditions) In general, the majority of the site appears
to have characteristics of a Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwood forest. However, some portions
of the site contained large concentrations of Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) which have been
removed and treated These areas have been replanted with native vegetation
Monitoring Year 2 (MY2) field investigations took place on September 17, 2013 All vegetation
plots were found to be in fair condition and all are meeting vegetative success criteria. However,
vegetation plot 2 is beginning to show signs of distress There was very little vegetative cover
(including herbaceous weed growth) in the plot overall, bare ground was visible throughout, and
there were many planted stems marked `missing.'
Two random transects were inventoried within the Chinese privet removal areas Both transects
contained large amounts of Chinese privet and very little else It was difficult to distinguish
between naturally regenerating native stems and planted native stems, however, the dominant
shrub stratum in both transects was Chinese privet. There are some larger native canopy trees in
the area, but native species were observed in very small numbers in the shrub and sapling
stratum There was a notable increase in the density of the shrub stratum since Monitoring Year
1 (MY 1) measurements. The percentage of Chinese privet in the two random transects was 81
percent and 76 percent, respectively These results are presented in Table 9 of Appendix C.
Overall, the site is in good condition, with the exception of the presence of Chinese privet.
Chinese privet was observed scattered along the entirety of the canal road. During Year 1
monitoring, the presence of Chinese privet appeared to be most problematic within the transect
areas leading to the groundwater gauges. These areas continue to be problematic, and appear to
be expanding beyond the limits noted during MY1 This is likely due to the clearing that took
place in the transect areas. The northern portions of the site continue to support the largest
populations The Chinese privet is particularly abundant between berm cuts 8 and 9 and along
the canal road and removal areas Very large specimens (20 -30 feet) were observed in these
areas
The growing season is 213 days, and has been set from April 1 to October 30. Criteria
established for the site state that groundwater levels must be at or above 12 inches of the ground
surface for 10 percent of the growing season, or 21 days All of the 13 groundwater gauges
installed on -site met the hydrologic success criteria described above between April 1 and
September 16 of 2013
92351 — Meadowbranch Swamp — MY2 Final Report (Version 1 4, 11/07/11) URS — November 2013

A rain gauge was installed on the site in October of 2006 During MY1, it was discovered that
the gauge was not functioning properly Data were downloaded on November 16, 2012 and
resulted in readings for two days only A replacement gauge was installed on the site on April
24, 2013. A data download was attempted during MY2 (on September 17, 2013) and the device
could not be read due to an empty battery. The device will be re- installed on the site at the
beginning of the 2014 growing season The NC Climate Retrieval and Observations Network of
the Southeast (NC CRONOS) database was used to generate rainfall data for the site (NC -
CRONOS, 2013) Station 315177 — Lumberton was used This station is less than two miles
southeast (downstream) of the site Normal annual precipitation for the station is 47.9 inches
Rainfall over the past 12 months totaled 52 4 inches, indicating that the past year has been
slightly above normal.
On -site stream gauge data and USGS stream gauge data indicate two bankfull events over the
course of the past 12 months (September 2012 to September 2013). Evidence of the bankfull
events is present on -site and observed during MY2 There are drainage patterns from the canal
into the wetlands on the back side of the access road and vegetation has been matted down in
these areas
Erosion was noted behind the matting at Roadway Cuts 1 and 2 during MY1 The erosion in
these areas has not changed since MY1 More recent erosion was noted along the banks of
Meadowbranch Canal in the vicinity of Roadway Cuts 3 and 4, and erosion is evident behind the
matting at both of these areas Photographs have been included with electronic files, but these
areas were not identified as a problem at this time The roadway cuts and bank condition will be
monitored for changes during future monitoring events.
Summary information/data related to the occurrence of items such as beaver or encroachment
and statistics related to performance 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 Baseline Monitoring Report
(formerly Mitigation Plan) and in the Mitigation Plan (formerly Restoration Plan) documents
available on EEP's website All raw data supporting the tables and figures in the appendices is
available from EEP upon request.
2.0 METHODOLOGY
Three vegetation plots have been established along the former logging road within the project
site These plots were established according to CVS -EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation
(Lee et al, v42, 2008) and are 20 meters by five meters in size During MY1, the corners of
each plot were marked with three -foot PVC piping and flagged The southwest corner of each
plot, or plot origin, was flagged with orange and the remaining three corners were flagged with
blue Planted stems were flagged with white
Version 4 2 of the CVS -EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation was used to inventory these
plots (Level 1 -2). Natural regeneration stems were recorded but not flagged A reference
photograph was taken from the origin of each plot, facing across the plot.
92351 — Meadowbranch Swamp —MY2 Final Report (Version 1 4, 11/07/11) URS — November 2013

Additionally, two random transects, 50 meters by two meters in size were established within the
Chinese privet areas and inventoried for stems greater than one meter high Stem counts
included planted stems, volunteers, and invasive species (Chinese privet) Stem species and
count were recorded No stems were flagged within the transects
Ten automated groundwater gauges, a stream gauge, and a rainfall gauge were installed at the
site in October 2006 These gauges were installed in order to monitor the water table at the site
during the initial project investigation and design One of the 10 gauges was placed on the west
side of Meadowbranch Swamp Canal in the reference wetland area in order to monitor reference
wetland hydrology Following the completion of construction, three additional automated
groundwater gauges (gauges 11 through 13) were placed within the limits of the restored area of
the former logging road to measure the groundwater table All 13 gauges were located and
marked with blue and white striped flagging All 13 gauges are Ecotone brand water level
monitors that were downloaded using a handheld Meazura MEZ1000 data logger For the
gauges where transects were used to locate them away from the former logging road or
maintenance road, pink flagging was used to mark transect lines
The stream gauge and rainfall gauge are also Ecotone brand monitors and were downloaded
using the same equipment stated above.

The subject project site is an environmental restoration site of the
NCDENR Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) 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 activities requires prior coordination with EEP

Proximal USGS gauge resource
and 9/16/13
(supports findings of on -site data
logger)
The data logger on -site recorded two bankfull events between September 16, 2012 and
September 16, 2013 Proximal USGS gauge data support this finding Potential bankfull
occurrence for the entire year (September 16, 2012 to September 16, 2013) was extrapolated
based on USGS stream gauge discharge data for the Lumber River at Lumberton, NC. The
USGS gauge plot is shown below (Figure 3) The gauge is located less than two miles
downstream from the project site and has a drainage area of 708 square miles
An estimate of the number of bankfull events between September 16, 2012 and September 16,
2013 was made by comparing the stream discharges from the USGS data in cubic feet per second
(cfs) against the bankfull discharge estimated from the drainage area on the Coastal Plain
Regional Curve. According to the regional curve, a bankfull event occurs on a stream with a
708 - square mile drainage area when the discharge is about 2,000 cfs. This discharge was
exceeded twice during the past year, and verifies the results from the on -site data logger. On
June 11, 2013, the USGS gauge reached 2,210 cfs, it peaked during this event at 3,390 cfs on
June 13, 2013 and receded below 2,000 cfs on June 18, 2013. On July 2, 2013, the USGS gauge
reached 2,760 cfs, it peaked during this event at 3,830 cfs on July 6, 2013 and receded below
2,000 cfs on July 18, 2013
Rainfall data are presented in Figure 4
