Year 1 of 5 December 2013 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY / PROJECT ABSTRACT 1.1 Project Goals and Objectives The Green Valley Buffer Mitigation Project is located in the 03030003 Catalog Unit (CU), in the Cape Fear River Basin Assets of this CU include the Deep River, the Randleman Reservoir, and major communities including High Point, Asheboro, Siler City, and Sanford Restoration goals for CU 03030003 as identified in the 2009 Cape Fear River Basin RBRP include protection of several species of mussel and the Cape Fear Shiner. Additional goals include the improvement in water quality to waters draining to Randleman Reservoir. The Green Valley Buffer Mitigation Project was identified as an opportunity to improve water quality and habitat within the CU. The project goals address stressors identified in the CU. The following table lists the project goals and the project objectives through which the goals will be addressed: Goals Objectives 1 Nutrient removal • Restore minimum 50 -foot riparian buffer by planting 2 Sediment removal appropriate bottomland hardwood species to filter runoff 3. Runoff filtration 0 Convert active farm fields to forested buffers. 4 Increase dissolved oxygen • Plant buffer vegetation to shade channel concentration • Restore riparian buffer habitat to appropriate bottomland 5. Restore riparian habitats hardwood ecosystem 6. Reduce water temperature • Restore canopy tree species in the stream buffer areas to shade channel. Eliminate and control exotic invasive species Replace three (two culverts and one ford) undersized and/or failing channel crossings with appropriately sized structures. 1.2 Project Background The Green Valley Farms 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 four unnamed tributaries (UT) that drain into Randleman Lake The proposed project will result in 8 74 to 9 6 acres of buffer restoration. The upper 400 linear feet of UT 4, which account for the 0.86 -acre difference in the buffer restoration acreage range, are not subject to the Randleman Buffer Rules It is anticipated that performing buffer restoration along the entire length of UT 4 (590 linear feet) will result in a defined channel within the five -year monitoring period, and that the Site will ultimately yield the full 9.6 acres of buffer restoration The project 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 1 and UT 3. The topography of the project area is generally rolling with elevations ranging from 670 to 760 feet (Figure 2). The four unnamed tributaries to Randleman Lake comprise the principle drainage features. The project's watershed is primarily used for agricultural production Much of the site is currently used for row crop production for dairy silage. These tributaries have limited hardwood trees present within the buffer and lack significant ground cover The mature trees have a density of less than 100 stems per acre. The project area has been in agricultural use for several decades (Figure 3). Green Valley Farm Site — Riparian Buffer Restoration Monitoring Report Year 1 of 5 EEP Project ID #003994 -EEP Site 95012 December 2013 1 0 a The Green Valley Farms mitigation project offers an opportunity for high quality riparian buffer restoration Stream buffer mitigation for the Green Valley Farms Site involves buffering four streams that flow directly and indirectly into Randleman Lake. The mitigation design divides the site into four distinct reaches (Figure 6). Buffer restoration is proposed along all four channels. Three existing farm access crossings will be upgraded and stabilized to prevent erosion 13 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 1 monitoring recorded an average of 625 stems per acre across all vegetation plots. Most plots had a high rate of mortality. In particular, Plots 7, 8, and 10 each had less than 300 stems per acre in Year 1 Other vegetation issues included invasive species and burned vegetation within the easement. Invasive grass (Johnsongrass, Sorghum halepense) was common and problematic across the entire site. Additionally, Plot 3 had a high density of morning glory vines that ' caused several trees to be bent over. Plot 10 had been burned and will need to be re- established. 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 fair to poor condition Due to the vegetation condition and the widespread invasive species problem, the site is scheduled to be re- planted in February 2014 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 EEP's website. All raw data supporting the tables and figures in the appendices is available from EEP upon request. i 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: Green Valley Farm Site — Riparian Buffer Restoration Monitoring Report- Year 1 of 5 EEP Project ID #003994 -EEP Site 95012 December 2013 2 r I 1 Plots e N Vegetation will be monitored using the X Vegetation Located randomly Annual Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) protocols across the project area (Level I & Level II FxDtic and Emtic vegetation will be evaluated and spot X nuisance N/A Senn- Annual treatment applied as needed vegetation Locations of fence damage, vegetation X Project N/A Senn -annual damage, boundary encroachments, etc will be boundary mapped Green Valley Farm Site — Riparian Buffer Restoration Monitoring Report- Year 1 of 5 EEP Project ID #003994 -EEP Site 95012 December 2013 2 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 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.
