EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Restoration Systems, LLC completed riparian buffer restoration at the Heath Riparian Buffer Mitigation
Site (hereafter referred to as the "Site ") through the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program
(NCEEP) Full Delivery Process (RFP 16- 001383) to provide 59 45 Riparian Buffer Mitigation Units
The Site is located approximately 3 4 miles southeast of Dover in Craven County within United States
Geological Survey Hydrologic Unit and Targeted Local Watershed 03020202080010 (North Carolina
Division of Water Quality Subbasin 03- 04 -08) of the Neuse River Basin Site streams drain to Core
Creek (Stream Index 27 -90), which is included on the draft 2008 303(d) list for impaired biological
integrity and low dissolved oxygen resulting from agricultural crop production
Prior to construction, the Site was characterized by ditched agricultural land used for row crop
production Land use practices including the maintenance and removal of vegetation, regular plowing,
and use of agricultural chemicals had resulted in degraded water quality
The goals and objectives of this project focused on improving local water quality, enhancing flood
attenuation, and restoring aquatic and riparian habitat These goals were accomplished by the following
I Removing nonpoint sources of pollution associated with agriculture production by a) ceasing the
application of agricultural herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers, and other agricultural materials into
and adjacent to Site ditches and open waterways and b) providing a vegetative buffer adjacent to
ditches and waterways to treat surface runoff that may be laden with sediment and/or agricultural
pollutants
2 Reducing sedimentation/siltation within on -Site and downstream receiving waters by a)
increasing retention time for surface waters entering and leaving the Site, b) reducing erosion
associated with vegetation maintenance and agricultural plowing to Site ditches, and c) planting a
forested vegetative buffer adjacent to Site ditches and waterways
3 Promoting floodwater attenuation by ripping compacted soils and revegetating the Site to increase
frictional resistance on floodwaters crossing the Site
4 Providing terrestrial wildlife habitat including a forested riparian corridor within an area that was
previously cleared and highly dissected by agricultural land use
This project was constructed in late winter /early spring 2010 Planting of the entire 60 63 -acre Site
resulted in 59 45 Riparian Buffer Mitigation Units The Site will be protected by a permanent
conservation easement As a whole, the densities of vegetation plots across the Site were above the
required 320 stems per acre with an average of 839 planted stems per acre counting towards riparian
buffer success in the Fourth Monitoring Year (2013) In addition, each individual plot met success
criteria based on planted stems alone

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Location and Setting
Restoration Systems, LLC has completed riparian buffer restoration at the Heath Riparian Buffer
Mitigation Site (hereafter referred to as the "Site ") through the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP) Full Delivery Process (RFP 16- 001383) to provide 59 45 Riparian Buffer Mitigation
Units The Site is located approximately 3 4 miles southeast of Dover in Craven County (Figure 1,
Appendix A) The Site is located in United States Geological Survey Hydrologic Unit and Targeted Local
Watershed 03020202080010 (North Carolina Division of Water Quality Subbasin 03- 04 -08) of the Neuse
River Basin (USGS 1974)
Directions to the Site from Kinston, North Carolina
➢ Take 70 East for approximately 8 miles
➢ Take the Dover exit and follow Old 70/Wilson Street for approximately 4 3 miles east
➢ Turn right over the railroad tracks to wire gate
➢ Site coordinates

1.2 Project Goals and Objectives
The goals and objectives of this project focused on improving local water quality, enhancing flood
attenuation, and restoring aquatic and riparian habitat These goals were accomplished by the following
1 Removing nonpoint sources of pollution associated with agriculture production by a) ceasing the
application of agricultural herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers, and other agricultural materials into
and adjacent to Site ditches and open waterways and b) providing a vegetative buffer adjacent to
ditches and waterways to treat surface runoff that may be laden with sediment and/or agricultural
pollutants
2 Reducing sedimentation/siltation within on -Site and downstream receiving waters by a) increasing
retention time for surface waters entering and leaving the Site, b) reducing erosion associated with
vegetation maintenance and agricultural plowing to Site ditches, and c) planting a forested
vegetative buffer adjacent to Site ditches and waterways
3 Promoting floodwater attenuation by ripping compacted soils and revegetating the Site to increase
frictional resistance on floodwaters crossing the Site
4 Providing terrestrial wildlife habitat including a forested riparian corridor within an area that was
previously cleared and highly dissected by agricultural land use
1.3 Project Structure, Restoration Type, and Approach
Prior to construction, the Site was characterized by ditched agricultural land used for row crop production
Land use practices including the maintenance and removal of vegetation, regular plowing, and use of
agricultural chemicals had resulted in degraded water quality
As constructed, Site activities restored historic riparian buffer functions by planting the entire 60 63 -acre
Site with native riparian vegetation This resulted in 59 45 Riparian Buffer Mitigation Units (Table 1,
Appendix B and Figure 2, Appendix A) Approximately 0 63 acres of the Site is surface water associated
with Site ditches and 0 55 acres of the Site received no credit due to diffuse flow requirements These areas
were planted, however, the area is not eligible to provide credit The target natural community consisted of
Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwood Forest (Schafale and Weakley 1990) Table 5 (Appendix C) outlines
Annual Monitoring Report Page 1
Heath Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site (EEP Contract Number 002280)

woody species planted within the Site Completed project activities, reporting history, completion dates,
project contacts, and background information are summarized in Tables 2-4 (Appendix 13)
2.0 MONITORING PLAN
Monitoring of Site restoration efforts will be performed for vegetation components at the Site for five years
or until success criteria are fulfilled After planting was completed, an initial evaluation was performed to
verify planting methods were successful and to determine initial species composition and density Twenty -
nine sample vegetation plots (10 -meter by 10- meter) were installed within the Site as per guidelines
established in CVS -EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation, Version 4 0 (Lee et al 2006) In each sample
plot, vegetation parameters to be monitored include species composition and species density Visual
observations of the percent cover of shrub and herbaceous species will also be documented by photograph
2.1 Vegetation Success Criteria
Characteristic Tree Species include woody tree and shrub species planted at the Site (Table 5, Appendix C)
or outlined for the appropriate plant community in Schafale and Weakley (1990) An average density of
320 stems per acre of Characteristic Tree Species must be surviving after year 5 monitoring
2.2 Maintenance and Contingency
In the event that success criteria are not fulfilled, a mechanism for contingency will be implemented If
vegetation success criteria are not achieved based on average density calculations from combined plots
over the entire restoration area, supplemental planting may be performed with tree species approved by
regulatory agencies Supplemental planting will be performed as needed until achievement of vegetation
success criteria
2.3 Vegetation Sampling Results and Comparison to Success Criteria
Quantitative sampling of vegetation was conducted in October 2013 Results are provided in Appendix C
Vegetation success criteria for year 4 (320 stems per acre) were exceeded for the 2013 annual monitoring
year with an average density of 839 planted stems per acre counting towards riparian buffer success across
the Site In addition, each individual plot met success criteria based on planted stems alone Average
densities of planted stems went up in year 2 in several plots including Plots 1, 3 -5, 8, and 10 -11 During
year 1, browse by deer and rodents on young planted stems was abundant throughout the Site Several
stems within these plots were not counted, or counted as missing in year 1, however, many survived and
were doing well in years 2-4 In addition, several stems that were thought to be dead during year 1
monitoring resprouted from the base and were counted during years 2 -4 monitoring
There are several small natural recruits of mimosa (Albizia juhbrissin) noted in the vicinity of Plot 10
during year 3 (2012) monitoring, these stems were treated with herbicide in late summer 2012 and no stems
were observed during year 4 (2013) monitoring
3.0 CONCLUSIONS
As a whole, the densities of vegetation plots across the Site were above the required 320 stems per acre in
years 1-4 (2010 -2013) In addition, each individual plot met success criteria based on planted stems alone
