1.0 BASELINE INFORMATION
The Beane Property Wetland Mitigation Site (Site, Project) is located within US Geological
Survey (USGS) Hydrologic Unit (HU) 03030007 and NC Division of Water Resources (DWR)
Cape Fear sub-basin 03-06-23, just east of Island Creek and south of the Cape Fear River. The
Site is situated within the Middle Atlantic Coastal Plain and Carolina Flatwoods Level III and
Level IV US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Ecoregions, respectively. The Site is
located approximately 0.6 miles southwest of the New Hanover / Pender County line and State
Road 1572 / 1336 (Sidbury Road) and 1.6 miles north of Scotts Hill (Figure 1).
The Site encompasses 312.9 acres under the ownership of the N.C. Department of Transportation
(NCDOT). Of this total, approximately 3.9 acres are part of an easement held by the Piedmont
Natural Gas Company, Inc. The remaining 309.0 acres will be described in this document and be
used to provide mitigation for authorized jurisdictional impacts associated with R-3300
(Hampstead Bypass).
The Site is relatively flat with most of the current topography resulting from anthropogenic
modification (roads, ditches, spoil piles, silviculture planting beds, etc.). Early aerial photographs
indicate that intensive modifications took place between the late 1940s and mid-1950s (Figures 2
and 3). The Site is primarily used for intensive pine silviculture with the loblolly pine (Pinus taeda)
being the dominant species planted across the Site. Subtle elevation differences exist between the
existing wetlands and uplands found within the Site. Soil properties across the Site, coupled with
lateral ditch effects, have the greatest impact on the presence of wetlands or uplands. Elevations
across the Site range from 23 to 49 feet above mean sea level (msl). The existing topography and
anthropogenic features for the Site are shown in Figure 4 using Quality Level 2 (QL2) Light
Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) (NCDPS, 2019). The average precipitation for the nearby
Wilmington Airport over the period from 1935 to 2018 (83-years) was 55.9 inches, with
approximately 50 percent of the precipitation occurring between the months of June and
September. Soils on the Site are generally poorly drained and sandy in texture. The Site primarily
consists of planted loblolly pines with scattered remnants of natural vegetation combined with
areas of cutover forest.
2.0 SITE SELECTION
The Site was first identified during field investigations related to the U-4571 (Military Cutoff) /
R-3300 US 17 Corridor Study conducted between 2007 and 2010. The Site was considered for its
potential to mitigate some of the roadway’s proposed impacts due to its proximity to the proposed
R-3300 corridor. During this initial period, only streams and wetlands associated with the proposed
roadway corridors were delineated and verified. Additional field investigations were conducted
in 2013 to delineate all streams or wetlands within the Site. To evaluate the Site for mitigation
potential, an existing conditions assessment was performed in October and November 2014 to
identify, map, and characterize soils, hydrology, biotic communities, and existing jurisdictional
Page 2

Final Mitigation Plan
December 2021

features within the Site. Utilizing data obtained from wetland delineations, soil characterizations,
hydrologic trespass modeling, and decade long field observations, along with feedback received
from state and federal agencies, the Site showed strong mitigation potential.
3.0 SITE PROTECTION INSTRUMENT
NCDOT will manage the Site to prohibit all uses inconsistent with its status as a mitigation
property, including any activity that would materially alter the biological integrity or functional
and educational value of the Site, consistent with the approved Mitigation Plan. The purpose of
the protection agreements will be to assure that future use of the Site will result in the protection,
maintenance, and enhancement of functions described in the Mitigation Plan.
4.0 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The Site will provide many hydrological and ecological benefits due to its location near the
headwaters of Island Creek, which drains directly to the Cape Fear River. The over-arching goal
of the Project is to improve the overall quality of the non-riparian and riparian wetlands by
restoring/enhancing the hydrology and vegetative conditions that have been altered over the last
century. The removal and conversion of existing ditches, culverts, roads, and spoil piles into
functional wetland areas will provide greater on-site water holding capacity that will promote
denitrification and filtration. This will ultimately help attenuate flows and provide reductions in
nutrients and sediment leaving the Site. The conversion of the existing pine plantations to native
plant communities will also provide greater species diversity and long-term ecological benefits to
both plants and animals that inhabit the Site. The proposed wetland mitigation Project will provide
approximately 79 acres of wetland restoration, 78 acres of wetland enhancement, and 31 acres of
wetland preservation. Project goals and associated objectives are summarized in Table 1.
Table 1. Goals and Objectives

Page 3
Beane Property Wetland Mitigation Site NCDOT TIP: R-3300
Final Mitigation Plan
December 2021

Reduce nutrient and sediment inputs into
nearby Island Creek
• Restore non-riparian and riparian wetlands
plant communities to trap sediment and to
facilitate increased uptakes of water and
nutrient inputs,
• Remove ditches, roads, and culverts allowing
surface and sub-surface water to move
naturally across the Site,
• Improve the water storage capacity and
residence time of surface flows by removing
ditches, roads, and culverts,
• Promote higher water table conditions, and
thus denitrification, within the restored
wetlands
Long-term protection
• The Site is owned by NCDOT in fee simple.
Long-term protection will be through the
NCDOT Stewardship Program.

4.1 Functional and Ecological Uplift
Of the impairments present on the site, past ditching, stream channelization, road construction, and
intensive pine silvicultural activities are the most severe, resulting in extensive anthropogenic
features, altered plant communities, increased nutrient and sediment loading, and loss of wetland
function. Ecological uplift will come from removing anthropogenic features, restoring wetland
connections, and establishing native plant communities. Restored and enhanced wetlands will: 1)
provide increased water storage capacity and help attenuate large rainfall events (i.e., hurricanes);
2) Reduce stormwater runoff and sedimentation to FSH and FSI and ultimately Island Creek; 3)
provide a natural plant community that is suited to the site conditions; and 4) provide a diversity
of aquatic and terrestrial habitats appropriate for the ecoregion and landscape setting.
Approximately 189 acres of wetlands will be restored, enhanced and/or protected as part of the
project. Uplands comprising approximately 111 acres will also provide additional buffer to
wetland and stream areas. Potentially jurisdictional stream channels and their streambanks (FSH
and FSI) will remain unchanged and comprise 2.6 acres (3,647 linear feet). Over 75% (20.3 acres)
of the anthropogenic features will be removed, leaving approximately 6.1 acres of acres of ditches,
ditch banks, and roads within the project to provide site access and to maintain hydrologic
connections entering and leaving the Site.

Site specific wetland mitigation goals and objectives have been developed using North Carolina
Wetland Assessment Method (NC WAM) analyses of degraded and reference systems (NC WFAT
2016). This method rates functional metrics for wetlands as high, medium, or low based on field
data collected on forms and transferred into a rating calculator. Using Boolean logic, the rating
Page 4

Final Mitigation Plan
December 2021

calculator assigns a high, medium, or low value for each metric and overall function. Table 2
summarizes NC WAM model output for forested reference wetlands on the Site proposed for
wetland preservation and a degraded wetland that represents most of the wetlands found on the
Site.

5.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS
5.1 Potentially Jurisdictional Features
Stream and wetland delineations conducted for the U-4571 / R-3300 US 17 Corridor Study were
verified in 2010. To fully assess existing jurisdictional features on-site, additional wetland
delineations were completed in August 2013; these delineations were never verified by the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) or DWR. In the Fall of 2019, EPR reassessed the streams and
wetlands within the Site to provide the most up-to-date information available and to have the
delineated resources verified. Following the field assessment, a jurisdictional review package was
prepared and submitted to USACE for the Site on February 13, 2020. A field meeting was held
on February 26, 2020, to review the delineated resources with USACE, NCDOT, and EPR present.
The submitted Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) Package was updated following the
February 26, 2020, field visit and following a final review by USACE on January 6, 2021. A
determination letter (USACE Action ID – SAW-2007-01386) dated March 5, 2021, and a final
version of the PJD package can be found in Appendix 1. Streams, wetlands, and a pond identified
within the 312.9 acres of the Site are described in the following sections.
5.1.1 Potentially Jurisdictional Streams
Two potentially jurisdictional streams and seventeen tributaries were identified within the Site
during field investigations (Table 4 and Figure 5). Field evaluations of flow status (intermittent
or perennial) and quality of Site streams were conducted by CALYX (now NV5) biologists in
Page 6
Beane Property Wetland Mitigation Site NCDOT TIP: R-3300
Final Mitigation Plan
December 2021

October and November 2014 and further reviewed by EPR staff in 2019 and 2020. These
assessments were based on the DWR Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial
Streams and Their Origins stream assessment protocols, Version 4.11.
Associated Waters and Classification
The NC Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) assigns classifications of best usage to
State Waters that indicate water quality and potential use as a resource. All three streams identified
within the Project area flow into Island Creek. Island Creek carries a Class C designation,
indicating that the stream supports aquatic life, fresh water uses, and secondary recreation. Island
Creek is also classified as Swamp Waters (Sw), indicating a low velocity, and natural
characteristics different from nearby streams. Island Creek is not located within the Site. There
are no High-Quality Waters (HQW), Water Supply (WS), or Outstanding Water Resources (ORW)
within or near the Site.

5.1.2 Potentially Jurisdictional Wetlands
Currently, sixteen potentially jurisdictional wetlands are located within the Site, totaling
approximately 110 acres (35%) of the Site’s total area (Table 5 and Figure 5). These wetlands were
identified and delineated using the 3-parameter approach outlined by the 1987 USACE Wetland
Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory, 1987) and the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain
Region Regional Supplement to the USACE Wetland Delineation Manual, V2.0 (USACE, 2010).
Additionally, lateral effect was utilized to determine the hydrologic drawdown and subsequent
effects on wetlands adjacent to the extensive ditch network on the property. The Lateral Effect
program developed by Phillips et al. 2015 was utilized to determine the lateral effect of the ditches
at the Site. Approximately 126 acres of lateral effect was determined to be present for the Site and
wetlands delineated wetlands within these lateral effect areas were removed as a part of the
preliminary jurisdictional package (Appendix 1 and Figure 6).

5.2 Vegetation
A variety of vegetation species have been encountered over numerous visits to the Site. The most
common species found within the Site are listed below by their stratum.
Canopy cover across the Site consists primarily of loblolly pine, pond pine (Pinus serotina),
sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), swamp bay (Persea palustris), red maple (Acer rubrum),
persimmon (Diospyros virginiana), water oak (Quercus nigra), black cherry (Prunus serotina),
and longleaf pine (Pinus palustris).
The understory layer is comprised of a combination of saplings and shrubs consisting of wax
myrtle (Morella cerifera), sweet pepperbush (Clethra alnifolia), beautyberry (Callicarpa
americana), titi (Cyrilla racemiflora), loblolly bay (Gordonia lasianthus), multiflora rose (Rosa
multiflora) and winged sumac (Rhus copallinum).
Herbaceous vegetation includes bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum), royal fern (Osmunda
regalis), cinnamon fern (Osmundastrum cinnamomeum), chalky bluestem (Andropogon
capillipes), sensitive fern (Onoclea sensibilis), dog fennel (Eupatorium capillifolium), giant cane

Invasive species identified at the Site primarily include multiflora rose and fescue. One Japanese
climbing fern (Lygodium japonicum) plant was noted along Road 2 between Roads 4 and 5a.
5.3 Natural Communities
There are 10 primary biotic communites that have been identified within the Site (Table 7 and
Figure 7). The names and description of the communities are derived from Schafale’s Guide to the
Natural Communities of North Carolina, Fourth Approximation (2012), and field observations of
the reference communities. Because communities were initially described using Schafale and
Weakley’s Classification of the Natural Communities of North Carolina, Third Approximation
(1990), a crosswalk to the 4th approximation is provided in Table 7. A description of each
community classification is described below using the guidance of the natural community
documents and/or field observations.

Loblolly Pine Plantation:
The loblolly pine plantation or managed pine stand occurs across a wide range of Site conditions
and covers almost half of the Site. The loblolly pines can be grown across the Site due to extensive
hydrologic manipulation via ditching and bedding. Ditching controls the elevation of the water
table and the addition of planting beds elevates the pines above this water table. The vegetation
is dominated by loblolly pines with varying growth rates due to changes in hydrology across the
Site. In areas where the hydrology is more suitable to the growth of loblolly pine, the trees are
larger in both height and diameter and the tree canopy is completely closed, shading out mid- and
understory vegetation. Wetter areas of this community generally contain stunted loblolly pines,
such as those areas bounded by existing access roads 3a and 5b with no outlets. In these wetter
conditions, the vegetation is generally thicker and contains species such as inkberry (Ilex glabra),
gallberry (Ilex coriacea), swamp bay, loblolly bay, laurel greenbrier, chalky bluestem, sundews
(Drosera spp.), and pitcher plants (Sarracenia spp.).
Mesic Pine Savanna:
This community occurs on mesic (non-wetland) sites of either flat or rolling Coastal Plain
sediments. These sites are neither excessively drained nor have a significant seasonal high water
table. These communities naturally experienced frequent low to moderate intensity surface fires
which maintained a somewhat open canopy, open to sparse shrub layer, and vigorous herb layer.
At the Site, Mesic Pine Flatwoods commonly occur on the breaks of interstream divides and are
characterized by a closed to open canopy of longleaf pine, sometimes mixed with loblolly pine.
The understory is sparse (in frequently burned sites) to dense (in unburned sites), and contains
species such as southern red oak (Quercus falcata), water oak, post oak (Quercus stellata),
blackjack oak (Quercus marilandica), mockernut hickory (Carya tomentosa), and sweetgum. A

low shrub layer of varying density is generally present, including species such as inkberry,
gallberry, fetterbush (Lyonia lucida), sweet bay (Magnolia virginiana), swamp bay, giant cane,
and creeping blueberry (Vaccinium crassifolium). The herb layer was generally dominated by
wiregrass (Aristida stricta) in frequently burned areas, with bracken fern dominating elsewhere.
Other typical herb species include broomsedge and switchgrass (Panicum virgatum).
Maintained/Disturbed:
Maintained/Disturbed areas are scattered throughout the Site in places where the vegetation is
periodically mowed or the area is maintained and include access roads, ditches/ditchbanks, and
fields. The vegetation in this community is comprised of low growing grasses and herbs, including
fescue (Festuca spp.), clover (Trifolium spp.), wild onion (Allium spp.), broom sedge, and henbit
(Lamium amplexicaule). However, along the ditches and ditchbanks, shrubs and trees are also
present.
Xeric Sandhill Scrub (Typic Subtype):
This community consists of coarse, deep sands of ridge and swale systems, Carolina bay rims, and
sandy uplands. These areas are the driest in the Coastal Plain. On the Site, the Xeric Sandhill Scrub
community most commonly occurs on the sand ridge rims of pocosin-like wetlands. This
community expressed an open canopy of longleaf pine, with an open-to-dense understory of turkey
oak (Quercus laevis). Occasional sassafras (Sassafrass albidum) and persimmon were observed.
A sparse low shrub layer consisting primarily of huckleberry (Gaylussacia ursina) and poison ivy
(Toxicodendron radicans) is sometimes present. A sparse to moderately dense herb layer consists
of species such as wiregrass and spikemoss (Selaginella spp.).
Pond Pine Woodland (Typic Subtype):
This community occurs on oligotrophic mineral soils or histosols in interstream flatlands or
shallow swales. Pond pine woodlands almost always occur in wet soils, but may be persistent
following hydrologic modifications. On the Beane site, this community type occurs in scattered
sites of varying stand sizes. It often borders pocosin-like wetlands and young stands share many
characteristics with both low and high pocosins. This community is best characterized by a canopy
dominated by pond pine mixed with sometimes co-dominant loblolly bay, and with lesser amounts
of sweet bay, red maple, longleaf pine, loblolly pine, and swamp bay. Shrub layers are generally
dominated by inkberry, titi, and swamp bay with lesser amounts of black highbush blueberry
(Vaccinium fuscatum), and small bayberry (Morella caroliniensis). At the Site, most pond pine
woodlands have sparse herbaceous layers, but where they do occur, they are often dominated by
sphagnum mosses (Sphagnum spp.) and switchcane. Laurel greenbrier is abundant in some stands.
Wet Pine Flatwoods (Typic Subtype):
This community occurs on seasonally wet to usually wet sites; typically on flat or nearly flat
Coastal Plain sediments. Though seasonally saturated, this community may become quite dry for
part of the year. On the Site, the Wet Pine Flatwoods community is most commonly found in
Page 11

Final Mitigation Plan
December 2021

broad areas of interstream divides. The canopy of this community consists of longleaf, loblolly or
pond pine, or a combination of the three. The understory is sometimes absent but often contains
invading hardwoods. The shrub layer varies in density and contains species similar to those in the
Mesic Pine Flatwoods community. The herb layer generally characterized by bushy bluestem
(Andropogon glomeratus), cinnamon fern, and royal fern with scattered occurrences of wiregrass
and bracken fern.
Sandy Pine Savanna (Typic Subtype):
This community occurs in wet flat areas where frequent fires have occurred or other conditions
have encouraged sparse canopies dominated by longleaf pine. Occasionally the canopy is shared
with less frequent occurrences of pond pine, swamp tupelo (Nyssa biflora) and red maple. The
shrub layer can be dense in some areas, especially where fire suppression has occurred. Dominant
shrubs consist of inkberry, and loblolly bay. Small bayberry, wax myrtle, and black highbush
blueberry are infrequent components. Longleaf and pond pine saplings share the midstory. The
herbaceous layer is rich and diverse, dominated by various graminoids such as purple bluestem (A.
glomeratus var. glaucopsis) and little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium). Many carnivorous
plants occur at the Site in this community type including yellow pitcher plant (Sarracenia flava),
purple pitcher plant (Sarracenia purpurea var. venosa), pink sundew (Drosera capillaris), dwarf
sundew (Drosera brevifolia), Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) and various bladderworts
(Utricularia spp.).
Non-Riverine Wet Hardwood Forest (Oak Flat Subtype):
This community type occurs on sites that have poorly drained clayey or mineral soils and have
canopies dominated by various hydrophytic hardwoods such as sweetgum, red maple, and swamp
tupelo. Other hardwoods such as tulip-poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) and cherrybark oak
(Quercus pagoda) occur less frequently. Often these sites occur as climax communities, rarely
succeeding without natural or unnatural modifications. At the Site, much of the midstory is
dominated by various age classes of the canopy species. Coastal doghobble (Leucothoe axillaris)
and various staggerbush species (Lyonia spp.) often dominate the shrub layer. In some sites, the
shrub layer can be quite dense and diverse. Herbaceous layer is often lacking but may include
sedges (Carex spp.) and netted chain fern (Woodwardia areolata). Laurel greenbrier (Smilax
laurifolia) and Carolina jessamine are frequent and dense components of the plant community.
Coastal Plain Depression Swamp (Mixed Subtype):
This community occurs on a small portion of the Site that is generally saturated to shallowly
flooded throughout the year due to a high-water table. The community likely covered much greater
portions of the Site, but these areas were probably logged due to the high demand for cypress
lumber. The depressional nature of the community provides both a source and a storage area for
water on the Site. Within the Site, the canopy is dominated by bald cypress (Taxodium distichum),
swamp tupelo, and red maple. The understory was dense and was comprised primarily of swamp
Page 12

Final Mitigation Plan
December 2021

bay, titi, and American holly (Ilex opaca). The shrub layer is also rather dense and mainly contains
fetterbush, sweet pepperbush, and laurel greenbrier. The herb layer was limited due to the density
of the understory and shrub layer; however, cinnamon fern and netted chain fern were noted within
the community.
Blackwater Bottomland Hardwoods:
This community type occurs along areas of seasonal flooding, especially where sandy alluvial
deposits accumulate, creating slightly raised topographical relief. This community type is
infrequent at the Site and only a small remnant remains near the western portion of the Site.
Dominant canopy species include laurel oak (Quercus laurifolia), sweetgum, and willow oak
(Quercus phellos). The shrub layer can be incredibly dense and diverse. Inkberry, coastal
doghobble, staggerbushes, and sweet pepperbush are often dominant species. The herbaceous layer
is generally lacking, but in instances where it does occur, it often contains various sedges (Carex
spp.) and netted chain fern. Vines such as laurel greenbrier and Carolina jessamine create dense
tangles.
5.4 Soils
The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)
identifies eight soil map units as occurring within the Site (Soil Survey Staff, 2019). The most
common soil within the Site is the Murville series, accounting for more than 50% of the Site area.
Hydric soil map units account for approximately 97% of the Site, with a wide range of hydric
status ratings. A description of the soils located within the Site are described in Table 8 and shown
on Figure 8.

5.5.1 American Alligator
USFWS Recommended Survey Window: Year-round (only warm days in winter)
Biological Conclusion: Not Required

Species listed as Threatened due to Similarity of Appearance do not require Section 7 consultation
with the USFWS. Suitable aquatic habitat for American alligator in the form of canals (e.g.
ditches) does exist within the Site. However, review of North Carolina Natural Heritage Program
(NCNHP) records in July 2021 indicates no known American alligator occurrences within 1.0 mile
of the Site.

5.5.2 Golden Sedge
USFWS Recommended Survey Window: Mid-April – Mid June
Biological Conclusion: May Affect – Not Likely to Adversely Affect

Page 14
Beane Property Wetland Mitigation Site NCDOT TIP: R-3300
Final Mitigation Plan
December 2021

Suitable habitat for golden sedge consisting of the ecotone between pine savanna and adjacent wet
hardwood or hardwood/conifer forest exists within the Site. However, NV5 biologists surveyed
for the species on June 10, 2021, and no individuals were observed. A review of NCNHP records
in July 2021 indicates no known golden sedge occurrences within 1.0 mile of the Site.
5.5.3 Black Rail
USFWS Recommended Survey Window: April 1-June 30
Biological Conclusion: No Effect

The eastern black rail is one of the four recognized subspecies of black rail and is the only
subspecies that occurs along the Atlantic coast of the United States. Habitats used by the eastern
black rail along the southern Atlantic coast includes impounded and unimpounded marshes, which
can be tidally or non-tidally influenced and range in salinity from salt to fresh. Nests may be built
within the marsh or along the edge and hidden within dense vegetation. Black rails are extremely
secretive and seldom seen. While some vocalizations occur at dusk, they are often only heard
calling at night, when they vocalize at all. Eastern black rails are year-round residents in North
Carolina. No suitable habitat for black rail is present within the Project study area. A review of
NCNHP records in July 2021 indicates no known eastern black rail occurrences within 1.0 mile of
the Site.

5.5.4 Rough-Leaved Loosestrife
USFWS Recommended Survey Window: Mid May – September
Biological Conclusion: May Affect – Not Likely to Adversely Affect

Suitable habitat for rough-leaved loosestrife in the form of ecotones or edges between longleaf
pine uplands and pond pine pocosins, in dense shrub and vine growth and shallow organic soils
overlaying sand (spodosolic soils) exists within the Site. However, NV5 biologists surveyed for
the species on June 10, 2021, and no individuals were observed. A review of NCNHP records in
July 2021 indicates no known rough-leaved loosestrife occurrences within 1.0 mile of the Site.

5.5.5 Northern Long-eared Bat
USFWS Recommended Survey Window: June 1 – August 15
Biological Conclusion: May Affect – Likely to Adversely Affect

The USFWS has developed a programmatic biological opinion (PBO; signed 11/6/2020) in
conjunction with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the USACE, and NCDOT for the
northern long-eared bat (NLEB) in eastern North Carolina. The PBO covers the entire NCDOT
program in Divisions 1-8, including all NCDOT projects and activities. The programmatic
Page 15

Final Mitigation Plan
December 2021

determination for NLEB for the NCDOT program is “May Affect, Likely to Adversely Affect”. A
review of NCNHP records in July 2021 indicates one northern long-eared bat occurrence (EO#
32126) in New Hanover County, but no specific location is given. The specimen was brought into
the county lab for rabies testing in 1994. No other occurrences of northern long eared bat are
reported within 1.0 mile of the Site.

5.5.6 Red-Cockaded Woodpecker
USFWS Recommended Survey Window: Year-Round; November – Early March (optimal)
Biological Conclusion: May Affect – Not Likely to Adversely Affect

Suitable RCW foraging and nesting/roosting habitat in the form of open, mature stands of longleaf
pine exists within the Site. However, NV5 biologists surveyed for the species on June 10, 2021,
and no individuals were observed. A review of NCNHP records in July 2021 indicates one
historical RCW occurrence (EO# 18108) within 1.0 mile of the Site.

5.5.7 Cooley’s Meadowrue
USFWS Recommended Survey Window: Mid-June – Early July
Biological Conclusion: May Affect – Not Likely to Adversely Affect

Suitable habitat for Cooley’s meadowrue in the form of moist to wet grass-sedge bogs, wet-pine
savannas over calcareous clays, and the edges of disturbed open habitats exists within the Project
area. However, NV5 biologists surveyed for the species on June 10, 2021, and no individuals were
observed. A review of NCNHP records in July 2021 indicates a known population of Cooley’s
meadowrue (EO# 27826) within 1.0 mile of the Site. This population was identified by Mulkey,
Inc. (NV5) field biologists during the original field investigations.

5.5.8 Other Federally Listed Species
Nine of the federally listed species for New Hanover County require habitats with no possible
occurrence within or near the Project area, and as such have been removed from consideration for
this Mitigation Plan. These species include green sea turtle, hawksbills sea turtle, Kemp’s ridley
sea turtle, leatherback sea turtle, loggerhead sea turtle, piping plover, red knot, West Indian
manatee, and sea beach amaranth.

Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Page 16
Beane Property Wetland Mitigation Site NCDOT TIP: R-3300
Final Mitigation Plan
December 2021

Suitable habitat for these species in the form of marine or estuarine bodies of water, beaches, or
shoreline do not exist within the Project area. A review of NCNHP records in July 2021 indicates
no known occurrence of any of these species within 1.0 mile of the Site.

5.6 Endangered Species Act Candidate Species
Following a review of the USFWS website on June 17, 2022, two federal candidate species were
listed for New Hanover County, NC (USFWS, 2021):
·Magnificent ramshorn (Planorbella magnifica)
-11/16/2020, Citation 85 FR 73164 73179
·Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus)
-12/17/2020, Citation 85 FR 81813 81822

5.7 State Rare and Federal Species of Concern
A formal query of the NCNHP database was requested on November 10, 2020, for records of
potential occurrence of rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, or conservation
managed documented within a 1-mile radius of the Project boundary (NCNHP, 2020). The formal
query shows the Sidbury Pine Savanna, a NCHNP Natural Area, abuts the Project boundary on its
eastern and southeastern boundary.

Multiple plants of Dionaea muscipula (Venus flytrap) have been observed along the eastern
boundary of the Site (Figure 9). These plants exist along an ecotone / access path that has been
regularly maintained through mowing over the last decade (Barrett, 2021). The plant species is
listed as State Threatened by the NCNHP (NCNHP, 2021).

5.8 Cultural Resources
The State Historic Preservation Office and Tribal Historic Preservation Office were contacted
regarding the Site. A finding of no impact to historic resources, traditional cultural properties,
sacred sites, or Native American archaeological sites was determined.
5.9 Existing Anthropogenic Features
The Site has been modified over the last century, with many man-made (anthropogenic) features
remaining to the present-day. These anthropogenic features include ditches, culverts, unpaved
access roads, and fields. An attempt has been made to quantify these features to show their relative
presence across the Site prior to any restoration activities. Existing anthropogenic features cover
approximately 26 acres, span over 8 miles and comprise around 8% of the Site. These features are
shown on Figures 10, 10a, and 10b and are detailed in Table 10. These existing man-made features
are described in greater detail below.
Page 17
Beane Property Wetland Mitigation Site NCDOT TIP: R-3300
Final Mitigation Plan
December 2021

An existing network of ditches and culverts has existed on the Site since the mid-1950s. These
ditches and culverts were constructed to facilitate timber production and to improve overall site
drainage. The ditches, culverts and their embankments currently span approximately 25,024 linear
feet (4.8 miles) and cover almost 17 acres. Site access is via a network of unpaved access roads
spanning approximately 18,261 linear feet (3.5 miles) and covering over 7 acres of the Site. Some
of these roads were likely constructed from spoil material excavated during the ditch construction.
The main access into the Site off Sidbury Road (SR 1336) is along Farm Road; however, Farm
Road is not located within the Site. More recent activities have included the addition of two small
fields totaling approximately 2 acres. These fields are maintained as wildlife management and
equipment storage areas. Photographs showing some of these features described above can be
found in Appendix 2.

5.10 Hazardous Materials
During field visits covering more than a decade, only hunting stands, shooting targets, and scrap
wood and metal have been observed across the Site. Based on field observations and limited
research, no obvious sources of contamination are associated with the Site that may affect its use
or development as a wetland mitigation site.

6.0 WETLAND MITIGATION STUDIES
The following sections describe work conducted to characterize the Site and to support the
overall design.

6.1 Soil Investigations
Following a November 2014 site visit, the USACE recommended additional soil investigations to
document the hydric soils potential across the Site. Soil profile information was collected and
summarized for 52 locations within the Site. The soil profiles correlated very well with the existing
wetland boundaries. Of the 52 soil profiles, 75% (39) were considered to meet hydric soil status,
17% (9) were determined to have non-hydric soils conditions, and 8% (4) had relict hydric soil
Page 18
Beane Property Wetland Mitigation Site NCDOT TIP: R-3300
Final Mitigation Plan
December 2021

features, indicating the potential for restoration. The locations of these soil investigations are
shown on Figure 11.

6.2 Drainage Ditches and Lateral Effects
The Site hydrology has been significantly altered because of ditching dating back to the late 1940s
and early 1950s (Figures 2 and 3). These ditches result in a lateral drawdown effect on the
surrounding wetlands, negatively influencing their overall wetland hydrology. The method used
to determine lateral effect was developed by R.W. Skaggs and was used on the Site to estimate the
distance of hydrologic influence of a drainage ditch though a wetland. This distance of influence
is the width of the area immediately adjacent to the ditch that is drained or influenced to a degree
that the water table is no longer within 1.0 foot of the surface. It was estimated that approximately
33% (54.3 acres) of on-site wetlands were affected by lateral effect and were removed from the
final potentially jurisdictional wetlands list. A field review meeting conducted on November 19,
2014, with personnel from NCDOT, DWR, USACE, and CALYX confirmed that hydrology was
absent within the lateral effect zones. Additional lateral effect was determined for the southern
perimeter ditch in January 2021 following reviews by USACE. These additional lateral effects are
included in the final jurisdictional determination letter in Appendix 1 and acreages shown in Table
5. Figure 6 shows the portion of the Site affected by the lateral effects.
6.3 Groundwater Monitoring Gauges
Fifteen subsurface monitoring gauges currently exist across the Site. Of this total, six gauges were
established in existing wetland areas and another six were installed within reference wetland areas
in May 2018. The remaining three gauges were installed within proposed wetland restoration areas
in December 2018. These three areas are characteristic of the proposed wetland restoration across
the Site since they contain soil and hydrologic characteristics that border on jurisdictional wetland
status. A rain gauge was also installed during December 2018. A description of these gauges can
be found in Table 11 and their locations are shown on Figure 12. Appendix 3 provides the
graphical outputs of the annual groundwater and precipitation data for the Site. Soil profiles at
each of the gauge locations were documented at the time of installation. These soil profiles are
included in Appendix 3 alongside their respective monitoring gauge data. For the information
contained in Table 11, it is assumed that the growing season length is February 28 – December 2
(277 Days).

6.4 Surface Water Modeling
A 2D hydraulic model was developed using HEC-RAS v5.0.7 to evaluate existing flow paths,
proposed flow paths, and hydrologic trespass. Watersheds were delineated using QL2 LiDAR data
and observed conditions of the direction of flow in ditches throughout the Site.

The model area covered the entire suspected watershed, noting that less information regarding
flow direction and culverts is known on the surrounding properties. The locations of existing
culverts throughout the Site were recorded and connections between ditches were input into the
existing model terrain at culvert locations. The grid size was optimized to minimize instability at
low flow and reduce model time, an 8 ft square grid was implemented with break lines along the
existing ditches. Model results at all outlets exhibit some instability (e.g., pulsing) at low flows.

Precipitation data for the 2- and 100-year, 24-hour frequency events were obtained from the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Atlas 14, Volume 2, Version 3.
Hyetographs were created using HEC-HMS and input as rain-on-grid over the entire model area.
Water depth maps of model results for the maximum and last time step were created (Appendix
4). The model time step was optimized to minimize instability at low flow and reduce model time,
a 30-second computation interval was used with 5-minute output intervals.

The existing conditions model shows the two main drainages off the site as FSI, flowing north,
and FSH flowing west. The Site is divided into cells by the roads and ditches drain runoff to FSI
Page 20
Beane Property Wetland Mitigation Site NCDOT TIP: R-3300
Final Mitigation Plan
December 2021

and FSH. The primary model boundary condition is along the western edge of the project area,
downstream of the confluence of FSI and FSH. Smaller volumes of water leave the Site along
Farm Road which runs along the northeastern edge of the project and are examined below in
Section 6.4.1. Overall, the existing conditions model is consistent with the observed site
conditions. Existing condition water depths are provided in Appendix 4.

The proposed terrain was created by altering the existing terrain to incorporate the highway
construction and proposed activities, including road, ditch, and culvert removal. The same grid
spacing, computation interval, and output intervals were used for the proposed model. Break lines
were updated to follow the proposed highway, and remaining roads and ditches. Maps of the
proposed condition water depths and the difference between proposed and existing conditions are
provided in Appendix 4. The proposed highway will cut off the natural drainage path of FSH.
This will leave the conditions to the west of the proposed highway slightly drier than the existing
conditions. More water will be retained on Site, east of the proposed highway, with less water
making it to the main downstream outlet (Graph 1). Following rain events, water will pond
approximately 4 feet deep on the eastern side of the proposed highway in the FSH drainage without
an outlet. This area, previously bounded by Roads 2, 3A, 4 and 5A, will be wetter than the existing
conditions. Due to road and ditch removal, water that previously had no outlet east of Road 3A
will drain to this 4-foot-deep ponded area. This will leave the area east of Road 3A slightly drier
than the existing condition. The areas that are modeled to be drier than the existing conditions have
been observed as considerably wet, and the drier modeled conditions are not anticipated to prevent
performance standards from being met.

6.4.1 Hydrologic Trespass
Hydrologic trespass was investigated as part of the design process. There were two primary areas
along Farm Road where hydrologic trespass was investigated: at the intersections of Road 1 and
Road 3A.
In the northern corner of the Site, at the intersection of Road 1 and Farm Road, there is a culvert
connecting the ditches on either side of Farm Road. There is a model boundary condition showing
the amount of water leaving the model area on the northwest end of the southern ditch along Farm
Road. The model shows that the proposed work will decrease the peak discharge, as more water
is held on-site; however, there are likely to be elevated flows within the ditch along the receding
limb of a rain event (Graph 2). Examination of the ditches and connections in this area, show that
conditions under Farm Road are largely unchanged as a result of the Project. The channel block
within T4 is effective at eliminating the flow coming from the Site unless overtopped. There is
increased flow coming from the Site along the south side of Farm Road. The water retained on-
site is draining around this field. Due to the peak flow reduction and slow release of the water from
elsewhere on the Site, the proposed work is not anticipated to result in hydrologic trespass.

Graph 2. 100-year and 2-year Existing and Proposed Hydrographs at the Intersection of Farm Road
and Road 1

The second area examined for potential hydrologic trespass is the northeast corner, where there
are multiple flow paths exiting the Site. There is the main natural drainage path that extends
northeast from Road 3A, a reduction in flow leaving the Site during the 100-year event, and little
change from existing condition during the 2-year event (Graph 3). The other, smaller drainages

(west of the primary drainage) exhibited minimal change from existing conditions. Similar to the
other area of investigation, the proposed work is not anticipated to result in hydrologic trespass.

6.5 Reference Wetland Vegetation
Three on-site reference wetlands were identified and approved for study by NCDOT. These
reference wetlands were characterized for soils and hydrology as previously described in Section
6.3. To characterize the existing vegetation within these reference wetlands, EPR and NV5
conducted vegetation surveys on February 4, 2020, in the centers of these wetlands. Additionally,
one other wetland area was inventoried later due to its natural landform and presence of native
species vegetation. This wetland area was first identified in 2007 during the R-3300 wetland
delineations due to its concave landform, standing water, and large pond cypress that were present.
Table 12 describes the natural communities that best characterize these wetlands as described by
Schafale and Weakley (1990), Schafale (2012), and the NC WAM Wetland Type. Figure 13 shows
the location of these wetlands.

7.0 WETLAND MITIGATION PLAN
The Site is currently used for timber production and recreational hunting. Since the early 1950s
this Site has been manipulated through site clearing, ditching, road construction, and pine
silviculture resulting in the conversion of native plant communities and hydrology on the Site. A
wetland mitigation plan design has been developed to restore, enhance, and preserve both the
hydrologic and natural communities within the Site, where feasible. A description of the proposed
treatments necessary to restore and enhance the Site are described below. The wetland design is
shown on Figure 14.

7.1 Proposed Vegetation Treatments
Prior to any major hydrologic treatments (ditch and/or road removal), clearing and grubbing will
occur in areas designated on the design plans. The Site conditions will be closely monitored
following these treatments; if the existing vegetation conditions present a competition problem for
re-planting, a vegetation management plan will be developed. This vegetation plan may include
chemical or mechanical methods, but all treatments within the plan will be in accordance with all
state and federal regulations. All work will be conducted by the NC Forest Service (NCFS)
through coordination with NCDOT and other various consultants.

7.2 Proposed Hydrology Treatments
Mitigation construction activities will involve various treatments of hydrologic restoration, which
will include removal, modification, and/or filling of existing ditch channels, removal of existing
conveyance structures (culverts/pipes), removal and/or modifications of the Site road network, and
the restoration of natural depressions. The silvicultural beds on the Site will not be removed, to
prevent any further compaction of the Site by heavy equipment. The proposed hydrologic
treatments will reduce the man-made features by over 75% on the Site. Table 13 lists the
anthropogenic features that are proposed for removal and those that will remain following these

hydrologic treatments. Table 14 lists the existing culvert information for those found within the
project area.

7.2.1 Ditch Removal
The removal of existing ditch channels and their associated ditch banks must be done in a specific
sequence to allow conveyance of surface and groundwater across the Site. The construction
sequence outlined in the design plans will determine the order in which ditches will be removed.
Extensive spoil material areas were placed beside most of the ditch and road network during their
original construction. Spoil material and excavated soil road material will be mixed and moved
into the existing ditch channels until the approximate natural ground is achieved. Approximately
70% of the ditches and ditch banks will be removed to allow water to move naturally across the
Page 25
Beane Property Wetland Mitigation Site NCDOT TIP: R-3300
Final Mitigation Plan
December 2021

Site. Ditches identified for removal, a typical drawing for ditch filling, and the construction
sequence can be found in the design plans.
7.2.2 Road Removal
Specific roads such as Road 1 and a small portion of Road 3a will be left in place to facilitate
access to the Site and to provide a buffer to the adjacent property. Over 65% of the existing road
network will be removed to allow surface and groundwater to move naturally across the Site.
Road removal will consist of 4 Phases:
Phase 1 - Ripping the road material with a bulldozer fitted with ripping teeth,
Phase 2 – Moving the ripped soil road material and adjacent spoil material into the adjacent
ditches,
Phase 3 – Repeat of Phases 1 and 2 continuing to remove soil road material and filling ditches
until they are at the approximate natural ground. Once the natural ground elevation is achieved in
the ditches, the soil road material will be ripped to original depths of the ditches or as deep as is
feasible.
Phase 4 – The original footprints of the road and the ditches will be final graded using adjacent
spoil and existing soil material until the entire disturbed area is back to the approximate natural
ground. This approximate natural ground will likely be found on the outer edge of the existing
spoil material areas.
Roads that will be removed, a typical drawing for road removal, and the construction sequence can
be found in the design plans.
7.2.3 Stream Plugs
Stream plugs will be placed in specific areas of the existing ditch network to ensure that flows are
redirected into the Site. Ditch channels that abut the R-3300 ROW will receive stream plugs to
prevent any damage to the roadway slopes. The location of the stream plugs is shown on the
design plans. Stream plugs will average 100 feet in length.
7.2.4 Depressions
Nine depressions were identified (D1 – D9) across the Site using QL2 LiDAR. These areas were
identified for two primary reasons. First, due to their lower elevations and concave nature, these
areas were identified for the purposes of re-establishing the appropriate plant community following
construction. Second, these areas provided an opportunity to increase water storage capacity
across the Site through grading of specific depressions (D3, D6–D9) and removal of anthropogenic
Page 26
Beane Property Wetland Mitigation Site NCDOT TIP: R-3300
Final Mitigation Plan
December 2021

features. Grading in these depressions is primarily to remove existing spoil pile areas or to connect
two depressions that are currently separated by an existing road. All grading will be equal to or
less than 12” (1-ft). Some overburden (spoil piles or roads) exist in some of the depressions and
its removal may exceed 12” (1-ft) above the existing natural ground. The depressions will be
comprised of wetland enhancement, restoration, and preservation areas that will comprise the
Coastal Plain Depression Swamp plant community totaling 9.3 acres. Information related to the
depressions and a depression typical can be found in the design plans.
7.2.5 Surface Water Conveyance
With the removal of roads and subsequent backfilling of ditches within the Site, water will be
allowed to move naturally across the Site. No graded flow paths are utilized in the design. The
residence time and storage capacity of the water on the Site should increase following the
hydrologic treatments.
7.3 Target Plant Communities
Vegetative restoration within the Site is based on reference wetlands, professional knowledge of
the region, and the availability of vegetative resources. Most of the wetland restoration,
enhancement, and preservation activities are comprised of non-riparian wetlands with a small
component of riparian wetlands. The location of the Site at an interstream divide coupled with flat
topography and small watershed size does not allow for the formation of stream channels on most
of the Site. Additionally, the conversion of anthropogenic features will create much wetter
conditions due to increased water storage capacity on the Site. Therefore, the proposed target plant
communities will be comprised of native species found mainly in non-riparian wetlands with a
tolerance for wet to extremely wet conditions throughout the year. However, a small percentage
of riparian wetlands are located on the western edge of the Site beside potentially jurisdictional
streams (FSH and FSI). Approximately 158 acres of wetland plant communities will be
established (planted) as part of the restoration and enhancement activities. Additionally, over 31
acres of wetland plant communities will be preserved. The remaining upland plant communities
will be allowed to regenerate naturally following the removal of loblolly pine and will comprise
approximately 111 acres.

No single species may account for more than 50% of the species proposed for planting in a
particular plant community if substitutions are necessary. Vegetative plantings should be installed
between December 1 and March 1 to coincide with the approximate dormant season at the Site.

The proposed target plant communities for this proposed wetland areas of the Site may include but
are not limited to the following as described by Schafale (2012): Non-Riverine Wet Hardwood
Forest (Oak Flat Subtype), Coastal Plain Depression Swamp (Mixed Subtype), and Blackwater
Page 27

Final Mitigation Plan
December 2021

Bottomland Hardwoods. Native plant species that may be established across these proposed
wetland plant communities are shown in Tables 15a-c. The location of the target plant
communities is shown on Figure 15.

7.3.1 Invasive Species Management
During construction, the invasive vegetation species will be controlled using mechanical
methods. During the monitoring period, the Site will be reviewed during the monitoring gauge
downloads and other site visits. Invasive species issues or occurrences will be documented and
summarized annually in the monitoring report.

If immediate attention is necessary, invasive plant species shall be controlled by mechanical
and/or chemical methods. Any vegetation control requiring herbicide application will be
performed in accordance with NC Departm ent of Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations and
the herbicide label.

Invasive species will be managed and controlled using a combination of chemical and/or
mechanical methods to ensure that all invasive species shall comprise less than 5% of the total
easement acreage. Management and control will continue throughout the project until this
percentage is achieved.

7.4 Potential Climate Change Effects
Although the potential of increased precipitation frequency and intensity may suggest overall
wetter conditions, leading to a higher water table, the aim of a wetland mitigation site is to
raise/restore the water table. Hydraulic analysis within the mitigation plan indicates that under
proposed restoration conditions, peak flows are reduced, and offsite water release is slowed. The
hydraulic conductivity of surficial soils, the underlying surficial aquifer, and Castle Hayne Aquifer
is high in northern New Hanover County (CFPUA, 2013; USGS, 2014). High hydraulic
Page 29
Beane Property Wetland Mitigation Site NCDOT TIP: R-3300
Final Mitigation Plan
December 2021

conductivities, shallow aquifers, and nearby local dependence on those aquifers, make the Beane
property a unique restoration opportunity. The slowing of offsite water release also potentially
offers flood mitigation benefits.
The Beane Property Wetland Mitigation Site is consistent with the findings and objectives for the
state of North Carolina as outlined in the North Carolina Climate Risk and Resilience Plan
(NCCRARP; June 2020). The NCCRARP acknowledges that it is likely that annual total
precipitation for North Carolina will increase and that it is very likely that extreme precipitation
frequency and intensity in North Carolina will increase due to increases in atmospheric water vapor
content. As identified in the NCCRARP, a critical resilience strategy to address this climate change
stressor is to “Preserve and restore wetlands and natural areas alongside rivers and streams”.
The Beane property is in an area specifically identified in the NCCRARP with potential to both
reduce flood risk and improve water quality with community resilience benefit
8.0 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
Following the Wilmington District (District) Stream and Wetland Compensatory Mitigation
Update from the USACE dated October 24, 2016, the specific goals for vegetative and hydrologic
success are outlined below:
The Site will be monitored for seven (7) years post-construction, unless the District, in consultation
with the USACE, agrees that monitoring may be terminated early.
8.1 Wetland Vegetation
The required performance criteria for planted vegetation, per USACE Guidance are summarized
below:
1. Within planted portions of the Site, a minimum of 320 stems per acre must be present at
Year 3, a minimum of 260 stems per acre must be present at Year 5, and a minimum of
210 stems per acres must be present at Year 7.
2. Only planted stems shall count toward success for Criteria No. 1. Volunteer species within
the plot from the planting list in the approved Mitigation Plan shall be noted. All volunteer
species shall be documented separately and not combined with the planted stems in the
monitoring report. Trees in each plot must average 7 feet in height at Year 5 and 10 feet
in height at Year 7.
3. If any species exhibits greater than 50% mortality, the species will be replanted, or an
acceptable replacement species be planted in its place.
4. No single volunteer species shall comprise more than 50% of the total composition at each
year monitoring event. During Year 3 & Year 5, no single volunteer species, comprising
Page 30
Beane Property Wetland Mitigation Site NCDOT TIP: R-3300
Final Mitigation Plan
December 2021

over 50% of the total composition, may be more than twice the heigh of the planted trees.
If this occurs, remedial action, as approved by the Corps and agencies, may be required.
5. Vegetation must be planted, and plots established, at least 180 days prior to the initiation
of the first year of monitoring.
6. Permanent plots will be randomly located throughout the planted portion of the Site.

8.2 Wetland Hydrology
All restored wetland areas within the project easement are proposed to have consistent monitoring
and success criteria, including appropriate wetland hydroperiod and vegetation indicative of a
jurisdictional wetland as defined by the USACE guidelines. Since the majority of the Site is
comprised of Murville soils, the lower range of its hydroperiod (12-16%) will be used as the
minimum hydroperiod for the Site. The required hydrologic performance criteria per USACE
Guidance are summarized below:
1. A minimum hydroperiod of 12% will be applied to all wetland restoration areas.

2. The hydroperiod for restoration/enhancement areas shall be compared to the reference site
data (saturation or inundation depth, duration, and frequency) only during abnormal rainfall
years to determine site success for that year.

3. Areas that do not exhibit sufficient hydroperiod and/or hydric soil indicators will not be
added to the wetland units upon the completion of the monitoring period.

9.0 MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
The monitoring plan for the Site will follow the guidance outlined in the US Army Corps of
Engineers – Wilmington District Public Notice: Notification of Issuance of Guidance for
Compensatory Stream and Wetland Mitigation Conducted for Wilmington District (October 24,
2016). Monitoring data collected on the Site will include plant survival analyses and hydrologic
data. All annual monitoring reports will be prepared in accordance with RGL No. 08-03.
Annual monitoring will be conducted for a period of 7 years, unless the USACE, in consultation
with the resource agencies, agrees that monitoring may be terminated early. Early closure will
only be provided through written approval from the USACE in consultation with the resource
agencies. Annual monitoring reports will be submitted to the USACE no later than January 31st
of the year following the monitoring.
9.1 Wetland Vegetation Monitoring
Vegetation monitoring will evaluate the establishment of planted vegetation across the Site. In
addition to planted species, all volunteer and invasive species identified within the permanent
vegetation plots shall be noted in each monitoring year’s report. Permanent vegetation monitoring
Page 31
Beane Property Wetland Mitigation Site NCDOT TIP: R-3300
Final Mitigation Plan
December 2021

plots shall be installed and make up 2% of the planted acreage. The planted acreage includes the
wetland enhancement and restoration areas and totals approximately 158.4 acres. Monitored
parameters, methods, schedule/frequency, and number of permanent vegetation plots and their
extent are summarized in Table 16. The proposed locations of permanent vegetation plots are
shown in Figure 16.
Table 16. Vegetation Monitoring Summary.

9.2 Wetland Hydrology Monitoring
Groundwater monitoring gauges will be installed to take measurements after hydrological
modifications are performed at the Site. Hydrological samplng will continue throughout the
growing season at intervals necessary to satisfy the 12% success criteria within the wetland
restoration and enhancement areas (USEPA, 1990).

Growing Season
Growing season was investigated for the Site using multiple sources including the Wilmington
International Airport WETS data (1935 – 2018), Wilmington 7N WETS data (1971 - 2000) and
the New Hanover Soil Survey (USDA-NRCS, 1977; 2019). Growing season data from the
Wilmington Aiport and the New Hanover Soil Survey closely corresponded. Using the WETS
data for the Wilmington International Airport (1935- 2018), the growing season was determined
to be February 28 to December 2. Monitored parameters, methods, schedule/frequency, and extent
are summarized in Table 17, The proposed locations for the groundwater gauges are shown on

10.0 ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT PLAN
In the event the mitigation site or a specific component of the mitigation site fails to achieve the
necessary performance standards as specified in the approved mitigation plan, NCDOT will notify
the resource agencies to develop contingency and remedial plans.
11.0 LONG TERM ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Site will be managed by the NCDOT according to the Site plans and other documents. If
unforeseen issues arise that affect the management of the Site, any remediation will be addressed
by NCDOT in coordination with the resource agencies.
12.0 GEOGRAPHIC SERVICE AREA
The proposed wetland mitigation units will be used for on-site mitigation for the R-3300 Project.
13.0 MAINTENANCE PLAN
The Site will be held by NCDOT and placed in the EAU mitigation geodatabase. Once monitoring
is completed and the Site is closed out, it will be placed in the NCDOT Stewardship Program for
long term maintenance and protection.
If an appropriate third-party recipient is identified in the future, then the transfer of the property
will include a conservation easement or other measure to protect the natural features and mitigation
value of the Site in perpetuity.

NOTIFICATION OF JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION

Requestor: NCDOT
Phil Harris
Address: 1546 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699
E-mail: [e-mail]

Size (acres) 313 Nearest Town Wilmington
Nearest Waterway Island Creek River Basin Cape Fear
USGS HUC 03030007 Coordinates Latitude: 34.330834
Longitude: -77.805065
Location description: The project area (known as the Beane property) is located along Farm Road which is accessed off Sidbury
Road north of Wilmington near the New Hanover/Pender County Line.

Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
A.PreliminaryDetermination
܈ There appear to be waters, including wetlands on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404
of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). The
waters, including wetlands have been delineated, and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently accurate
and reliable. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated 2/23/2021. Therefore
this preliminary jurisdiction determination may be used in the permit evaluation process, including determining compensatory
mitigation. For purposes of computation of impacts, compensatory mitigation requirements, and other resource protection
measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat all waters and wetlands that would be affected in any
way by the permitted activity on the site as if they are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. This preliminary determination is not an
appealable action under the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process (Reference 33 CFR Part 331). However, you may
request an approved JD, which is an appealable action, by contacting the Corps district for further instruction.
܆ There appear to be waters, including wetlands on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404
of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403).
However, since the waters, including wetlands have not been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdiction determination
may not be used in the permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation, this preliminary determination is
merely an effective presumption of CWA/RHA jurisdiction over all of the waters, including wetlands at the project area, which
is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision. We recommend that you have the waters,
including wetlands on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland
delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps.
B. Approved Determination

܆ There are Navigable Waters of the United States within the above described project area/property subject to the permit
requirements of Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
(CWA)(33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for
a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
܆ There are waters, including wetlandson the above described project area/property subject to the permit requirements of Section
404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) (33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this
determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
܆We recommend you have the waters, including wetlands on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be
able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that
can be verified by the Corps.
܆The waters, including wetlands on your project area/property have been delineated and the delineation has been verified by
the Corps. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated DATE. We strongly
suggest you have this delineation surveyed. Upon completion, this survey should be reviewed and verified by the Corps. Once
SAW-2007-01386
verified, this survey will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWA jurisdiction on your property which, provided
there is no change in the law or our published regulations, may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years.
܆The waters, including wetlands have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat signed by the
Corps Regulatory Official identified below onDATE. Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this
determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
܆ There are no waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, present on the above described project area/property which are subject to the
permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published
regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
܆ The property is located in one of the 20 Coastal Counties subject to regulation under the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA).
You should contact the Division of Coastal Management in Morehead City, NC, at [phone] to determine their
requirements.

Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US, including wetlands, without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC § 1311). Placement of dredged or fill material, construction or
placement of structures, or work within navigable waters of the United States without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Sections 9 and/or 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33 USC § 401 and/or 403). If you have any questions
regarding this determination and/or the Corps regulatory program, please contact Brad Shaver at 910-251-4611 or
[e-mail].

C. Basis For Determination: Basis For Determination: See the preliminary jurisdictional determination
form dated 03/05/2021.
D. Remarks: The site was field verified on 2/26/2020 and has been visited several times between that
initial visit and the issuance date of this PJD.

E. Attention USDA Program Participants

This delineation/determination has been conducted to identify the limits of Corps’ Clean Water Act jurisdiction for the particular site
identified in this request. The delineation/determination may not be valid for the wetland conservation provisions of the Food Security
Act of 1985. If you or your tenant are USDA Program participants, or anticipate participation in USDA programs, you should request
a certified wetland determination from the local office of the Natural Resources Conservation Service, prior to starting work.

F. Appeals Information (This information applies only to approved jurisdictional determinations as indicated in B.
above)

This correspondence constitutes an approved jurisdictional determination for the above described site. If you object to this
determination, you may request an administrative appeal under Corps regulations at 33 CFR Part 331. Enclosed you will find a
