Reduce water temperature • Restore canopy tree species in the stream buffer areas to shade channel • Eliminate and control exotic invasive species • Replace two undersized and falling channel crossings with appropriately sized culverts or ford • Stabilize two small dams on small farm ponds 1.2 Project Background The Hockett Dairy Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site is located on Hockett Dairy Road (SR 1938) in Randolph County approximately 12 miles north of Asheboro, NC (Figure 1) The site is located in the Cape Fear River Basin within Cataloging Unit 03030003010070 (NCDWQ sub -basin 03- 06 -08) The site has five unnamed tributaries (UT) that drain into Randleman Lake The project consists of 11 82 acres of buffer restoration The Hockett Dairy Buffer site is located in the Piedmont Physiographic Province and in the Carolina Slate Belt The region is underlain by felsic metavolcanic rocks, which can be seen in the streambed of UT 2 and UT 3 The topography of the project area is generally rolling with elevations ranging from 670 to 760 feet The five unnamed tributaries to Randleman Lake comprise the principle drainage features These tributaries have limited hardwood trees present within the buffer and lack significant ground cover The mature trees are less than 100 stems per acres The project's watershed is primarily used for agricultural production Much of the surrounding land use is currently dairy cows and calves or row crop production for dairy silage Cattle have direct access to streams channels and ponds and are a source of ongoing erosion along the banks and within the adjacent buffer Cattle are excluded from some channels with fencing on or near the top of bank, resulting in a degraded riparian buffer The project area has been in agricultural use for several decades The Hockett Daffy mitigation project provides high quality riparian buffer restoration Stream buffer mitigation for the Hockett Dairy Site involved buffering five streams that flow directly and indirectly into Hockett Dairy Site — Riparian Buffer Restoration Monitoring Report Year 1 of 5 EEP Project ID #003993 -EEP Site 95013 December 2013 r- Randleman Lake The mitigation design divides the site into five distinct reaches Buffer restoration was performed along five channels Two undersized and failing channel crossings were replaced with appropriately sized culverts to prevent erosion Two small dams on small farm ponds have been stabilized 1.3 Vegetation Condition The measure of vegetative success for the site is the survival of at least 320 five -year old planted trees per acre at the end of year five of the monitoring period Year I monitoring recorded an average of 597 stems per acre across all vegetation plots Plots 2 and 7 each had less than 300 stems per acre All other plots achieved the success criteria in Year I Vegetation issues included invasive species along much of UT 4 and vegetation trampled by cattle near Plot 2 on UT 2 The cattle gained access to the easement when a tree fell onto the fence near Plot 2 This fence has been repaired, and the plot may need to be replanted No volunteer stems were observed during Year 1 monitoring activities. CVS Level 2 will be performed in monitoring Year 2 to document any volunteer generation Overall, vegetation across the site is in good condition The Current Condition Plan View is provided in Appendix B, Figure 2 1.4 Summary Information / Data 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 the Restoration Plan) documents available on ESP's website All raw data supporting the tables and figures in the appendices is available from EEP upon request 2.0 METHODOLOGY In order to determine if the success criteria are achieved and the planted areas are developing toward the target community, NCEEP -CVS Protocol for Recording Vegetation Version 4 2 will be utilized The vegetation monitoring will include Level I and Level II plots distributed across the planted area An interim vegetation monitoring will occur in spring after leaf -out has occurred The CVS monitoring will be conducted toward the end of the growing season Individual plot data will be provided to NCEEP and CVS following NCEEP -CVS guidance The annual monitoring requirements are summarized in the following table Re re IN eter Qaantii , 12 Plots re 1 L n , otes will be monitored using the X Vegetation Located randomly Annual Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) protocols Carolina across the project area Exotic and Exotic vegetation will be evaluated and spot X is nuisance N/A Semi- Annual treatment applied as needed vegetation Locations of fence damage, vegetation X N/A Semi - annual damage, boundary encroachments, etc will be boundary mapped Photographs will be used to visually document restoration success Reference photos will be taken once a year and will be used to visually document restoration success Reference photo stations are marked with wooden stakes Reference stations will be photographed immediately following planting and continued annually for at least five years following construction Photographers will make every effort to maintain Hockett Dairy Site — Riparian Buffer Restoration Monitoring Report Year 1 of 5 EEP Project ID #003993 -EEP Site 95013 December 2013 the same area in each photo over time Photographs will be used to subjectively evaluate vegetation establishment A series of photos over time should indicate successional maturation of riparian vegetation Hockett Dairy Site — Ripanan Buffer Restoration EEP Project ID #003993 -EEP Site 95013 3 Monitoring Report Year 1 of 5 December 2013 r, (D I-) C\ CJ 3.0 REFERENCES Lmdenmayer, D B , and J F Franklin (2002), Conserving forest biodiversity A comprehensive multiscaled approach Island Press, Washington, DC N C Department of Environment and Natural Resources Ecosystem Enhancement Program 2004 Guidelines for Riparian Buffer Restoration Available online at http / /portal ncdenr org/web /eep /process- and- protocol N C Department of Environment and Natural Resources 2005 `Basmwide Planning Program October 2005 Cape Fear River Basmwide Water Quality Plan " October 2005 Available online at http / /portal ncdenr.org/web /wq /ps [Accessed 01 February 2012] N C Department of Environment and Natural Resources Ecosystem Enhancement Program 2012 Procedural Guidance and Content Requirements for EEP Monitoring Reports Available online at http //portal ncdenr org/web /eep /fd- forms- templates N C Division of Water Quality 2010 Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Streams and their Origins, Version 4 11 North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality Raleigh, NC Peet, R K , Wentworth, T S , and White, P S (1998), A flexible, multipurpose method for recording vegetation composition and structure Castanea 63 262 -274 Radford, A E, H E Ahles and F R Bell 1968 Manual of the Vascular Flora of the Carolinas The University of North Carolina Press, Chapel Hill, North Carolina Schafale, M P and Weakley, A S (1990), Classification of the Natural Communities of North Carolina, Third Approximation, NC Natural Heritage Program, Raleigh, NC United States Geological Survey 1982 7 5 Minute Topographic Map, Pleasant Garden, NC Young, T F and Sanzone, S (editors) (2002), A frameworkfor assessing and reporting on ecological condition Ecological Reporting Panel, Ecological Processes and Effects Committee EPA Science Advisory Board Washington, DC Hockett Dairy Site — Riparian Buffer Restoration EEP Project ID 4003993 -EEP Site 95013 4 Monitoring Report Year I of 5 December 2013 Appendix A Project Vicinity Map and Background Tables Hockett Dairy Site — Riparian Buffer Restoration EEP Project ID #003993 -EEP Site 95013 A -1 Monitoring Report Year 1 of 5 December 2013 A 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.
