Raleigh, NC 27699-1652
(via electronic mail)
Re: Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation—St. Clair Creek Headwater Stream Site
off Peoples Road, Bath, NC
Beaufort County
Dear Ms. Miguez,
On October 5, 2015, Katie Merritt, with the Division of Water Resources(DWR), received a
request from Jake Byers with Michael Baker Engineering, for a site visit at the St. Clair Creek
Restoration Site located off Peoples Road in Bath,NC to determine the potential for Tar-Pamlico
Neuse riparian buffer mitigation. On December 3, 2015, Ms. Merritt performed a site
assessment of the subject site. Karen Higgins and Mac Haupt with the DWR along with you and
Mr. Byers were also present. If approved,mitigating this site could provide riparian buffer
mitigation credits within the 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Code 03020104 of the Tar-Pamlico River
Basin and as allowed under 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (f).
Ms. Merritt's evaluation of the site as an alternative buffer mitigation option for buffer
mitigation pursuant to Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o) (1) and(2) (effective November 1, 2015)
is provided below:
UT2
• UT2 was approved as part of a Coastal Headwater Stream Mitigation Site(DWR#2013-
(1739)by the IRT in 2013 and is in its second year of monitoring. A copy of the approved
mitigation plan has been provided to the DWR.
• Preliminary site conditions along with the onsite visit in December 2015 suggests that the
entire area along UT2 (0-100')is viable for riparian restoration and suitable for buffer
mitigation credit at 1:1. Preliminary photos and documentation have been provided to the
DWR.
• The buffer must be measured perpendicular to the length of the valley being restored.
Approximately 8.35 acres (363,577 112)have been planted and restored. A copy of the
proposed restoration site has been provided to DWR.
• An agricultural ditch is present within the proposed riparian restoration and isn't planned
to be removed. The presence of this ditch does not comply with the diffuse flow
requirement of Rule .0295. However, DMS can apply Clarification Memo #2008-019 to

this project in order to calculate the deduction of buffer credit where diffuse flow cannot
be attained.
• According to the St. Clair Creek Restoration Project Year 1 Monitoring Report submitted
in April 2015, all 6 vegetative monitoring plots within the riparian areas are meeting the
success criteria identified in Rule .0295. A copy of the Year 1 Monitoring Report has
been provided to the DWR.
• A conservation easement of the proposed area, dated June 24`11, 2013 has been provided
to the DWR and is more accurately described as CE-1 and containing 11.55 acres, more
or less. The easement document is located in the Beaufort County Register of Deeds,
Book 1821, Pages 53-64.
A map showing the project site and the buffer mitigation areas assessed is provided and signed
by Ms. Merritt on January 6, 2016. DWR did not assess this site for viability of nutrient offset
and therefore only buffer mitigation is approved. DMS shall provide an annual monitoring
report to Ms. Merritt for review and approval each year for four more years and until the
performance standards have been met. The performance standards for buffer mitigation under
Rule.0295 are the following:
(n) (2) (B) -A minimum of four native hardwood tree species or,four native hardwood tree and
native shrub species, where no one species is greater than 50 percent of the stems.
(o) (2)—All success criteria specified in the approval of the stream mitigation site by the Division
shall be met.
Please provide an As-Built survey verifying the acreage proposed for buffer mitigation credit and
a buffer credit ledger for this site to Ms_ Merritt within 30 days from receipt of this letter. If you
have any questions regarding this correspondence contact Katie Merritt at(919)-807-6371.
Sincerely,
Karen Higgins, Supervisor

OWQ believes that using an immediate drainage area extending at a 60-degree angle from the point of discharge to the stream is a
reasonable approach to the issue of determining the area which is not draining through the restored buffer. To calculate the area of
buffer being "short-circuited" by the ditch, the area of the right triangles shown in the figure above must be determined.
a = 50'
A=
13=60
b = a cot A
b=50(].732)
b = 86.6' (87')
The area to be excluded from credit would be the area of the two right triangles:
Area = (a x b)/2
Area - (50 feet x 87feet)/2
Area = 2,175 SF
Total deducted area = 2,175 x 2 = 4,350 SF or 0,1 acres.
The example shown above assumes a buffer width of 50 feet from the top of bank (riparian buffer mitigation site). For nutrient offset
sites, credit can be generated out to 200 feet from the top of bank. The policy applies to sites with larger buffers as follows:

Notes
7/8/2016: IRT approved the release of half of the potential stream credits (scheduled release was 10% of the total stream credits) for Monitoring Year 2.
4/3/2017: IRT withheld the release of the wetland credits for Monitoring Year 3.
4/25/2018: IRT withheld the release of the wetland credits for Monitoring Year 4.
6/24/2019: IRT approved release of the wetland credits for Monitoring Year 3, 4 and 5. Due to concerns on the upper section of UT 2, the IRT withheld release of
Monitoring Year 5 stream credits.
5/11/2021: IRT required one additional year of monitoring. Even though 5% of the project stream credits was approved for release, DMS has decided to hold the
remaining stream mitigation credits for closeout scheduled for 2022. The IRT approved the release of 5% of the remaining wetland credits. The remaining 5% will
be proposed for release at the 2022 close out.
2/4/2022: DMS completed one additional year of monitoring for a total of 8 years. DMS is proposing this site for close out and requests the IRT approve the release
of the remaining stream and riparian wetland credits. This is a coastal headwater project and there are 327.400 warm stream credits identified as "at risk". DMS is
aware of the issues surrounding the unreleased stream credits and acknowledges that some of these credits may not be released.
2/9/2022: Site visit held with IRT for closeout. The IRT agreed no further monitoring was required and to close out the stream and riparian wetland credits but did
not agree to release the remaining stream and riparian wetland credits. The headwater stream did not develop a flow path and demonstrate an ordinary high mark
which was required.
