The Norman's Pasture Restoration Site (NPRS) is a full - delivery mitigation project being developed for the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP). The NPRS is former riparian wetland system in the Cape Fear River Basin (03.030006 8 -digit cataloging unit) in eastern Sampson County, North Carolina that has been substantially modified to maximize agricultural production. The site offers the chance to restore impacted agricultural lands to riparian wetland habitat. The Norman's Pasture II Restoration Site (NPII) is located directly upgradient to NPRS and consists of a first - order stream and wetland system. NPII will expand on the restoration efforts of the NPRS by' extending' restoration and protection initiatives to the headwater extents of much of the local watershed. The site offers the potential to restore and protect a range of unique aquatic resources in one setting — existing riparian wetlands, a forested tributary that has lost connection with its historic floodplain, lower gradient seep -fed headwaters, and adjacent upland buffers. The 2009 Cape Fear River Basin RBRP identified HUC 03030006110040 (Stewarts Creek) as a Targeted Local Watershed (NCEEP 2009). The goals and priorities for NPRS's and NPII's are based on the information presented in The Cape Fear River Basin Restoration Priorities, to protect and improve water quality throughout the Basin by reducing sediment and nutrient inputs into streams and rivers and to support efforts to restore local watersheds (NCEEP 2009). The project goals are in line with the basin priorities and include the following: - Reconnect a continuous stream and wetland headwater wetland system to Stewarts Creek - Expand and protect riparian habitat along Stewarts Creek Buffer nutrient inputs from adjacent agricultural and grazing practices Additional goals for the project include: - Increase the local hydroperiod by encouraging both surface and subsurface storage and retention - Restore and establish a functional and diverse stream /wetland complex The project goals will be addressed through the following objectives: - Redevelop a stream /wetland complex that has previously been impacted by ditching and cattle grazing - Fill field ditches to restore surface flow retention and historic flow paths - Protect and integrate existing riparian wetlands into the project design - Re- forest riparian areas with native plant communities - Re- connect headwater seeps to the broader swamp forest community of Stewarts Creek being restored by NPRS and NPII. Mitigation Plan Norman's Pasture /Norman's Pasture 1l Restoration Sites The NPRS will aim to restore and establish a functional stream /wetland complex with 16.2 acres of riparian wetland restoration (15.5 acres of re- establishment and 0.7 acre of wetland rehabilitation). Select ditches across the site will be modified or filled and seeps will be redirected and redeveloped to retain and distribute surface flow across the site. The two project tributaries (Tributaries 1 and 2 to Stewarts Creek) will be restored to integrated headwater /stream systems, but no stream mitigation credit is included in NPRS. Approximately 9.0 acres of wetland preservation is included throughout the NPRS, but for no additional credit. The NPII will aim to restore and establish a stream /wetland complex with 10.2 acres of riparian wetland restoration (8.8 acres of re- establishment and 1.4 acres of rehabilitation). Approximately 843 linear feet of Tributary 1 to Stewarts Creek will be improved with Enhancement II and reconnected to the historic floodplain. Also, approximately 0.8 acre of existing wetlands will be included as preservation at NPII (no mitigation credit). The two sites are located approximately five miles west of Magnolia, North Carolina in Sampson County. The projects begin southwest of the intersection of Cornwallis Road and MJ Johnson Road, and Stewarts Creek, a fourth -order stream, forms the southern boundary. Once site grading is complete, the riparian communities will be planted as Riverine Swamp Forest and Headwater Forest communities (NCWAM, v. 4.1 2010). The sites will be monitored for seven years or until the success criteria are met.

Project Plan Sheets Mitigation Plan Norman's Pasture /Norman's Pasture 11 Restoration Sites 1.0 RESTORATION PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES EEP develops River Basin Restoration Priorities (RBRP) to guide its restoration activities within each of the state's 54 cataloging units. RBRPs delineate specific watersheds that exhibit both the need and opportunity for wetland, stream and riparian buffer, restoration. These watersheds are called Targeted Local Watersheds (TLWs) and receive priority for EEP planning and restoration project funds. _ The 2009 Cape Fear River Basin RBRP identified HUC 03030006110040 (Stewarts Creek) as a Targeted Local Watershed (NCEEP 2009). The watershed is characterized by 54% forest and 40% agricultural areas with past impacts to streams including channelization and nonpoint source pollution. This watershed is a TLW due to the number of animal operations within its boundary and the many opportunities for mitigation. The Norman's Pasture Restoration Site (NPRS) and Norman's Pasture II Restoration Site (NPII) were both identified as opportunities to improve and protect stream and wetland habitat and functions within the TLW. The goals and priorities for NPRS's and NPII's are based on the information presented in The Cape Fear River Basin Restoration Priorities, to protect and improve water quality throughout the Basin by reducing sediment and nutrient inputs into streams and rivers,and to support efforts to restore local watersheds (NCEEP 2009). The project goals are in line with the basin priorities and include the following: - Reconnect a continuous stream and wetland headwater wetland system to Stewarts Creek - Expand and protect riparian habitat along Stewarts Creek - Buffer nutrient inputs from adjacent agricultural and grazing practices Additional goals for the project include: - Increase the local hydroperiod by encouraging both surface and subsurface storage and retention - Restore and establish a functional and diverse stream /wetland complex The project goals will be addressed through the following objectives: - Redevelop.a stream /wetland complex that has previously been impacted by ditching and cattle grazing - Fill field ditches to restore surface flow retention and historic flow paths - Protect and integrate existing riparian wetlands into the project design - Re- forest riparian areas with native plant communities - Re- connect headwater seeps to the broader swamp forest community of Stewarts Creek being restored by NPRS and NPII. 2.0 SITE SELECTION 2.1 Directions i NPRS and NPII are located on two parcels located off of Cornwallis Road approximately five miles west of Magnolia, North Carolina. To reach the sites from Raleigh: proceed east on 1 -40 for approximately 65 miles until Exit 364 for US -24. Then travel on US -24 west towards Clinton for approximately one mile. Turn left onto Carrolls Road and then take the first right onto Blanchard Road. Blanchard Road will turn into Cornwallis Road and the sites will be approximately six miles ahead on the right. 1 Mitigation Plan Norman's Pasture /Norman's Pasture 11 Restoration Sites 2.2 Site Selection NPRS and NPII are part of the 03030006 Watershed Cataloging Unit (South River and Great Coharie Creek) located within the Cape Fear River Basin. The Cape Fear River Basin is the largest in the state and contains a number of North Carolina's larger cities, including Greensboro, High Point, Burlington, Durham, Fayetteville and Wilmington. The population within the watershed in 2000 was, 3.6 million people, and it is expected to grow to 5.2 million by 2020. As a result, the focus in this watershed is on mitigating impacts from stormwater and protecting and /or restoring existing habitat (NCEEP, 2009). The project sites are bounded by Cornwallis Road to the east, Stewarts Creek to the south, agricultural land to the north, and woodlands to the west. The sites have a long history of hydrologic modification in order to allow for farming and grazing to take place on the property. The existing site conditions are shown in Section 2.6 and seen in site photographs (Section 2.8). Within the 8 -digit cataloging unit, the Stewarts Creek drainage (03030006110040) remains only moderately affected by urban development, having its start in Warsaw, NC before crossing under 1 -40 and ending in Clinton, NC. The soils at the sites were examined for their wetland potential. The Soil Survey of Sampson County describes several predominant soil series at the NPRS and NPII, including Lumbee sandy loam, Bibb and Johnston, Johnston loam, Norfolk loamy sand, and Chipley sand. Lumbee sandy loam is a nearly level, poorly drained soil on smooth flats and in shallow depressions on stream terraces. The Bibb and Johnston soil series is described as frequently flooded and having soils that are poorly or very poorly drained along major streams. Johnston loam is a very poorly drained series found on narrow to moderately broad floodplains. Norfolk loamy sand is a well- drained soil located on low ridges and side slopes in uplands. The Chipley Sand series has 0 to 2 percent slopes, and is described as being a nearly level, moderately well- drained soil on smooth ridges (Soil Survey of Sampson County, USDA SCS 1985). A soils investigation by KCI's licensed soil scientist at both of the sites found the soils described above in addition to Johns fine sandy loam, Lynn Haven sand, and Torhunta fine sandy loam. Johns fine sandy loam is a somewhat poorly drained to moderately well drained series found on stream terraces. Lynn Haven sand is a poorly drained soil typical of flat areas or found in large, shallow depressions. Torhunta fine sandy loam is a very poorly drained soil found on upland bays and stream terraces. The soil data sheets and a map of the soil delineation and borings are included in (Appendix C, Soil Delineation and Characterization). 2.2.1 Historic Site Geology /Geomorphic Setting NPRS and NPII occupy a unique position in the geologic landscape. Effective development of the mitigation plan relies on both an understanding of the process that lead to the formation of the resources and the actions that created the site impairments. The sites lie within the Rolling Coastal Plains (Level IV 65m) ecoregion of the Coastal Plain physiographic province. This region is described as a rolling, hilly, dissected portion of the Inner Coastal Plain that is made up of sedimentary material. The geology at the sites are classified as part of the Black Creek formation, which is comprised of gray to black, lignic clay and contains thin beds and laminae of fine - grained micaceous sand and thick lenses of cross- bedded sand (Winner and Coble 1996). Glauconitic, fossiliferous clayey sand lenses exist in the upper part. Also, it is landward of the Surry Scarp and sits on the unconformity that separates the Cretaceous Black Creek formation from the Peedee formation (NC Archaeological Council 2011). Intertonguing of the formations is common and form ravinements, which are disconformities resulting from surf zone beveling. Ravinements in the Cretaceous are associated with the termination of delta construction and deposition of the destructive strata (Benson 1968). 2 Mitigation Plan Norman's Pasture /Norman's Pasture 11 Restoration Sites Deltas formed landward of the Surry Scarp in Sampson County. This process created several small overlapping coalescing deltas with sediments brought in by fluvial systems and deposited in deep water subsiding basins. The sediments were interdistributed, covered and ,reworked until Taylor time and gradually declined as the sediment supply decreased (Benson 1968). As each delta lobe ceased its seaward movement, the lens of sediments would subside and become inundated by marine water. These processes created a transitional fluvial - deltaic shoreline facies between the Middendorf and Peedee formations (Benson 1968). Subsequent weathering of the Black Creek formation sediments resulted in an incised paleovalley complex with terraced floodplains and ramps. This process exposed the varying lenses of sediment created by the deltaic environment. For the majority of the formation, the Cape Fear River and its tributaries incised into the landscape parallel to the channels and subaqueous /subaerial levees of the buried deltas SE. This linear development exposes layered sediments in the same orientation as they were deposited, resulting in consistent material composition along each ramp /terrace. NPRS and NPII are bordered on the south by Stewarts Creek. Stewarts Creek's incision into the landscape occurs perpendicular to the depositional features of the buried deltas (SW). This process is likely the result of the position of the Surry Scarp and the seam of unconformity between the Black Creek and Peedee formations at this location (NC Archaeological Council 2011). The paleovalley complex created by Stewarts Creek cross cuts the deltaic deposits resulting in a highly varied landscape with lenses of material with varying densities and compositions being exposed along the ramps and terraces it creates. The resulting exposed landscape is a mosaic of exposed delta deposits mimicking the braided channels that once were part of this feature. The cross -cut orientation of the paleovalley complex created by Stewarts Creek also creates a unique interface with the groundwater hydrology. Groundwater discharge in the valley occurs at the toes of floodplain terraces within the incised valley. These seeps discharge water loaded much higher and distant in the landscape along the buried distributary channels in the formation. As a result, the seeps are continuous and on the lower terraces are under sufficient pressure to be classified as artesian. Water discharging from the seeps flows toward Stewarts Creek, and.perches on clay lenses between less erodible formations on the terraces. 2.2.2 Chronology of Impacts Historic aerials from Sampson County were examined for any information about how the sites' hydrology and vegetation have changed over the last century. They were obtained from the USGS EarthExplorer, USGS DOQQs, and NC OneMap for 1938, 1951, 1966, 1981, 1989, 1993, 1998, and 2008. The reviewed aerials are found in Figure 2.7. The NPRS and NPII were systematically impacted over the past 100 years. The primary impacts to the system were associated with ditching and draining in an attempt to remove hydrologic sources, seeps, springs, and groundwater from the sites. 1938 — This is the earliest photo available for the sites. It shows the matrix of exposed high points as agricultural fields and surrounding wetland drainages. The aerial shows that the two main ditches near Tributary 2 running from east to west were already in place by that time, although some of the southern portion of the land was still forested at this time. 1938 to 1951 — By 1951, the majority of the forested portions of the sites had been cleared and additional ditches are visible in the middle portion of NPRS and in the floodplain of Stewarts Creek. Evidence of wetness in the fields is still prominent. 3 Mitigation Plan Norman's Pasture /Norman's Pasture 11 Restoration Sites 1951 to 1966 - By 1966, the sites show evidence of agricultural production in the cleared areas; additional ditching along the eastern boundary is evident below the seep south of the farm residence. 1966 to 1981 — By 1981, the seep south of the residence was cleared and excavated and turned into a shallow pond. The ditches conveying flow from the seep were further refined and straightened. In addition, the two seeps in the east central portion of NPRS were also cleared and converted to ponds. 1981 to current — The ditching in the system has been maintained and the sites are primarily used for row crop agriculture and pasture. The surrounding area is rural with low development pressure at this time. These land use trends indicated that restoring this property back to a forested wetland will provide an important habitat enhancement in the watershed. The historic aerial photographs available for the site confirm that the sites are characterized by a series of seeps feeding into broad wetland channels that then discharge into the broad flat floodplain of Stewarts Creek, supporting an extensive stream /wetland complex. 4 M Mitigation Plan Z.s rroject bite vicinity ma ARNETT JOHNSTON WAYNE ' I l SAMPSON DUPLIN y _ BLADEN FENDER :.� "MPSON COUNTY Norman's Pasture /Norman's Pasture 11 Restoration Sites s Miq � DUPLIN COUNTY r h�4 zT/ Ro i snm9 Rd PROJECT SITE VICINITY MAP There are no airports within N 05 025 0 0.5 5 miles of the project site ® Miles NORMAN'S PASTURE /NORMAN'S PASTURE 11 SAMPSON COUNTY, NC / I Mitigation Plan V1 UJC%.% a4w vvaw4 Dncu ma % r` z 7• � 11• J � Norman's Pasture /Norman's Pasture 11 Restoration Sites �.� 1 n� /1 1�Ji NPRS Project Watershed (186 ac) J 1 NPII Project Watershed (139 ac) f�—•�..._ ® NPRS Easement NPII Easement PROJECT SITE WATERSHED MAP aoo zoo o aoo USGS DRG Soule.

The project's 14 -digit HUC has been identified by the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) as a targeted local watershed (TLW). Section 2.4 Watershed Map shows the site in relation to the project watershed, which is comprised of 186 acres as it reaches Stewarts Creek. Below the project site, Stewarts Creek continues for approximately four river miles before it flows into Six Runs Creek. Neither Stewarts Creek nor Six Runs Creek are listed on the draft 2014 303(d) list (add reference). The project site is also not within a water supply watershed. Stewarts Creek (DWQ Index 18- 68 -2 -10) is classified as Class C water 'with the supplemental classification of swamp waters (Sw). The project watershed for the NPRS is comprised of 186 total acres. Current land use in the project watershed consists of Managed Herbaceous Cover 42% (77.3 ac), Cultivated 24% (44.3 ac), Bottomland Forest /Hardwood Swamps 17% (31.0 ac), Southern Yellow Pine 10% (19.5 ac), Mixed Hardwoods /Conifers 5% (9.2 ac), and Evergreen Shrubland 2% (4.2 ac). The project watershed drains to the west, north, and east into the project site. The project watershed for NPII is made up of 139 acres and is located within the watershed for NPRS. Current land use in the project watershed is approximately Cultivated 32% (44.3 ac), Managed Herbaceous Cover 31% (42.9 ac), Bottomland Forest /Hardwood Swamps 14% (19.5 ac), Southern Yellow Pine 14% (19.5 ac), Mixed Hardwoods /Conifers 6% (9.0 ac), and Evergreen Shrubland 3% (4.2 ac). The impervious surface within the project watershed is limited to the surfaces of MJ Johnson Road and Cornwallis Road and impervious areas within rural residential properties, amounting to approximately 1% of the total area project drainage area. The nearest named downstream water body is Stewarts Creek. The project area is located in the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Turkey Quadrangle. 20 J Two separate unnamed tributaries to Stewarts Creek flow through the site. Neither stream will be used for mitigation credit, but both are described here since they will be integrated into the project design. Tributary 1 (T1) begins northwest of the project site from a farm pond and flows south approximately 350 linear feet onto the project. Tributary 2 (T2) flows west, approximately 1,440 linear feet to join T1 and forms on the site from the southeast. T1 and T2 are both headwater channels due to their small drainage areas. The broad flat topography of the site means that the streams have minimal slope and are slow- moving systems. The Current Conditions Plan View in Section 2:6 shows the existing conditions at the NPRS and site photographs are included in Section 2.8. T1 enters NPRS in the northwestern corner of the project. The channel has been ditched through an open agricultural field, and continues in this form until the edge of the field where an artesian spring is located. The channel has been further excavated in this location and the remaining spoil can be seen to the left of the stream. Further downstream, T1 transitions into a channel type with little evidence of ditching and with access to its floodplain. T2 joins T1 coming in from the west and then T1 travels along the property line as a straightened channel with spoil piles adjacent to the right bank until it enters into Stewarts Creek. T2 begins in the middle of the NPRS site and flows to the north and then to the west before joining T1 along the western edge of the site. T2 receives its primary hydrologic input from an artesian spring. Based on landowner reports, this artesian spring provides a consistent source of hydrology. Currently, T2 is a functional headwater stream at its beginning and is surrounding by high - quality wetlands. Unlike a single- thread channel, the stream has multiple flow paths throughout the wetted section that moves in a linear direction. The braided system is largely shaped by the existing trees. T2 flows through a more heavily wooded area where it receives additional drainage from hillside seepage entering from the northeast. At this point, T2 flows toward the west, where it becomes a wide channelized ditch until it reaches the confluence with T1. There is little to no movement within the channel, leaving the water essentially ponded with large amounts of duckweed. Along the left bank of this lower section of T2, there is no riparian vegetation. The right bank has a narrow strip of trees. The jurisdictional determination delineation identified both tributaries as jurisdictional tributaries (see Appendix B for jurisdictional determination plat). Norman's Pasture II Existing Conditions An upper reach of T1 flows through the northwestern corner of NPII before reaching NPRS, and this portion of T1 will be included for mitigation credit. T1 begins upstream of NPII from a farm pond and flows south onto the site. As it initially comes onto the project site, it is a stable stream within a forested riparian wetland buffer. However, after a downstream headcut, it begins to'incise and T1 flows in a narrow, steep valley. In this section, the right bank has a steep valley wall while the left bank has a higher bank that is bare and exposed. There is a farm field just to the east of the left bank. This tributary is surrounded by hydric soils that have evidently been drained as the channel has incised over the years. - 21 • Mitigation Plan Norman's Pasture /Norman's Pasture 11 Restoration Sites 4.2 Reach Summary Information i Norman's Pasture Restoration Site Existing Conditions Two separate unnamed tributaries to Stewarts Creek flow through the site.

This tributary is surrounded by hydric soils that have evidently been drained as the channel has incised over the years. - 21 Mitigation Plan Norman's Pasture /Norman's Pasture 11 Restoration Sites Historic evidence of the incision includes exposed tree roots, active headcuts, and the exposed soil profile that is apparent throughout much of the project reach. The first major headcut is thought to have been initiated circa 1938 with the placement of a drainage ditch intended to improve drainage and allow access to a tar kiln that was located on the opposite side of the channel. Three major knick points are visible along the profile and the bank height ratios are in excess of 2 (See Appendix C, Existing Conditions Cross - Sections). Side channels have formed and downcut perpendicular to the channel and further drained adjacent wetland /seep areas. The Current Conditions Plan View in Section 2.6 shows the existing conditions at the NPII and the site photographs are included in Section 2.8. The jurisdictional determination that identified T1 as a jurisdictional tributary is included in Appendix B. Channel Morphology (Pattern, Dimension, and Profile) A Rosgen Level II assessment was conducted to gather existing stream dimension data from the NPII reach of Ti to determine the degree of channel instability. Two channel cross - sections were surveyed at two representative locations and classified T1 as a G5 channel. The cross - sectional data developed from this survey is presented in Appendix C. Channel Stability Assessment As reflected in the project goals and objects, sediment is not a large concern at this site. For this reason, a Bank Erosion Hazard Index (BEHI) evaluation was not conducted for the project. eankfull Verification The standard methodology used in natural channel design is based on the ability to select the appropriate bankfull discharge and generate the corresponding bankfull hydraulic geometry from a stable reference system(s). The determination of bankfull stage is the most critical component of the natural channel design process. Bankfull can be defined as "the stage at which channel maintenance is most effective, that is, the discharge at which moving sediment, forming or removing bars, forming or changing bends and meanders, and generally doing work that results in the average morphologic characteristics of the channels," (Dunne and Leopold, 1978). Several characteristics that commonly indicate the bankfull stage include: incipient point of flooding, breaks in slope, changes in vegetation, highest depositional features (i.e. point bars), and highest scour line. The identification of bankfull stage, especially in a degraded system, can be difficult. Therefore, verification measures were undertaken to validate the correct identification of the bankfull stage on all project reaches. Regional curves are typically utilized in ungauged areas to approximate bankfull discharge, area, width, and depth as a function of drainage area based on interrelated variables from other similar streams in the same hydrophysiographic province. Regional curves and corresponding equations from " Bankfull Hydraulic Geometry Relationships for North Carolina Streams" (Harman et al., 1999) were used to approximate bankfull in the project reaches. Based on the regional curves, a bankfull discharge and cross - sectional area were estimated for all reaches. For T1, the regional curve estimates a bankfull discharge of 26.6 ft3 /s and a cross - sectional area of 6.8 ft2. A reference reach, located approximately 300 linear feet upstream of T1 was surveyed for a reference stream by KCI in April 2014. The reference cross - sections resulted in a cross - sectional area of 3.7 ft2 and 2.7 ft2, respectively. KCI analyzed the relationship between drainage area and discharge to the NC coastal regional curve data and the reference reach. The results indicated the cross - sectional area and discharge for the reference stream 22 r Mitigation Plan Norman's Pasture /Norman's Pasture 11 Restoration Sites were slightly lower to the regional curve data. This is due to the reference reach being further upstream in a smaller watershed resulting in a smaller cross - sectional area. Since the reference stream is located in close proximity of T1 and flows through a headwater forest community that has a stable planform and contains lower banks and a high width /depth ratio, KCI feels that it is a suitable reference for the project reaches. The dimensionless hydraulic geometry relationships were developed from stable channel dimensions to assist in the design of the proposed channel cross - sectional data for the T1 enhancement reach. T1 will be enhanced by reconnecting the channel grade to its historic elevations. The bankfull bench will be similar to the reference cross- sections. 4.3 Wetland Summary Information Wetlands historically formed at both the NPRS and NPII sites due to on -site seeps and streams making their way down to the floodplain of Stewarts Creek. The topography of the site begins with the highest elevations at the northern edge of the NPII Site. The elevation decreases sharply as one moves from north to south until about the center of the sites when the slope becomes much gentler. Water on the sites exits via the southern boundary into Stewarts Creek. The drained hydric soils at,the site experience approximately a 2 -foot change in elevation as the slope grades down slightly from the center towards the northeastern corner of the site and along the main ditch out of the southern edge of the site. Norman's Pasture Restoration Site Existing Wetlands NPRS has been impacted by a history of channelization, farming production, and cattle grazing. Despite efforts to effectively drain wetlands on the property, several areas of existing wetland exist within the NPRS. These areas were delineated by KCI wetland scientists and the boundaries were confirmed through a jurisdictional determination with the US Army Corps of Engineers (Section 4.4) and are identified as Wetlands 1, 4, 9, and 10 in the Baseline Information Table. The project includes existing forested wetlands along the southeastern and middle portion of NPRS and a small portion to the northwest. The goal of this project will be to join these areas to a larger whole braided stream /wetland complex. The wetland data forms are included in (Appendix B, USACE Wetland Determination Forms). Vegetation The NPRS includes forested wetland areas generally located along T1, T2, and the man -made drainage features. The existing wetlands support a variety of tree species, including: green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), ironwood (Corpinus caroliniana), willow oak (Quercus phellos), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), laurel oak (Quercus laurifolia), -river birch (Betula nigra), bald cypress (Taxodium distichum), red maple (Acerrubrum), Sweetgum (Liquidambarstyraciflua), loblolly pine (Pinus toeda), American elm (Ulmus americana), persimmon (Diospyros virginiana), and American hawthorn (Crataegus sp.). Existing herbaceous vegetation throughout the wetlands and the ditches includes soft rush (Juncus effusus), strawcolored flatsedge (Cyperus strigosis), creeping charlie ground ivy (Glechoma hederaceo), knotweed (Polygonum sp.), bahia grass (Paspolum notatum), dogfennel (Eupatorium capillifolium), broomsedge (Andropogon sp.), lizards tail (Saururus cernuus), and sensitive fern (Onoclea sensibilis). 23 Mitigation Plan Norman's Pasture /Norman's Pasture 11 Restoration Sites Norman's Pasture II Existing Wetlands There are many incoming seeps and riparian wetlands that have been modified to accommodate agriculture and grazing at the NPII as the slope transitions down to the NPRS floodplain area. Despite efforts to effectively drain wetlands on the property, several areas of existing wetland exist within the NPII. These areas were delineated by KCI wetland scientists and the boundaries were confirmed through a jurisdictional determination with the US Army Corps of Engineers (Section 4.4) and are identified as Wetlands 6, 7, 8, 9, and 11 in the Baseline Information Table. The project includes existing forested wetlands throughout'the portion of NPII. The goal of this project will be to join these areas to a larger whole braided stream /wetland complex. The wetland data forms are included in Appendix B. Vegetation The NPII includes forested wetland areas generally located along T1 and the man -made drainage features. The existing wetlands and ditches support the same variety of tree species and herbaceous vegetation as located at NPRS as described above. 4.3.1 Existing Seeps The fluvial geomorphic processes that developed this landscape evolved into numerous seeps and confining layers along the toe of the various terraces and ramps on the site, which in turn created the unique wetland complex seen in the historic photographs. The hydrologic sources that supported this complex were manipulated over a period of 70 years, resulting in significant degradation of the existing wetland /stream complex. There are seven major seeps (five seeps and 2 artesian wells) with continuous flow located on NPRS and NPII (see Section 2.6). They have been impacted as described below: 1. The first seep is located on NPII along the western border. This seep flows into T1 and has incised into the landscape, draining the adjacent hydric soils. At the point of dispersion onto broader wetland flats around the periphery of a residual mound, a ditch was excavated to carry the flow through the mound to a lower elevation, thus depleting several adjacent wetland areas of their hydrologic sources. In addition, the creation of the drainage ditch led to the head cut and degradation of T1. 2. The second seep is located approximately 200 yards to the east of Seep 1 along the center portion of NPII. This seep is in the center of the field and is drained by a ditch excavated into the landscape along its historic connection to the wetland channel. Hydric soils exist in this corridor and in the seep area. A ditch was cut across an interfluve to join the other ditch draining Seep 1. Instead of flowing to the southwest to T1, this drainage pattern historically went toward the southeast and into the large wetland in the center of the site, as evidenced by relic hydric soils below the point of diversion. 3. The third seep is located 150 yards to the east of Seep 2 along the NPII boundary near Cornwallis Road. This seep was excavated between 1966 and 1981 to create a pond. A ditch leads from the pond and several adjacent seepage areas to carry the discharges through a large area of relic hydric soils and`into the large existing wetland in the center of the site. The ditches effectively removed the hydrologic source from the surrounding hydric soil areas. This seep historically supported a broad complex of wetlands on the terrace that parallels Cornwallis Road before draining to the small stream -swamp complex on the floodplain of Stewarts Creek. 24 i r Mitigation Plan Norman's Pasture /Norman's Pasture 11 Restoration Sites 4. The fourth seep is located 300 yards south of Seep 3 along the southern portion of NPII. This seep was excavated and manipulated between 1966 and 1981 to create two shallow ponds. This seep maintains its historic drainage path to the wetland in the center of the site, but exhibits areas of fill around the periphery to hold back water. 5. The fifth seep is located 250 yards south of Seep 4 along the NPRS project boundary. This seep is lower in elevation than Seeps 1 through 4 and is artesian in nature. This seep historically created a continuous source of water for the cypress swamp adjacent to Cornwallis Road. The seep was redirected to flow north and then west along the toe of the floodplain through the excavated channel of T2, and bypasses the relic hydric soils on�the floodplain. 6.' The sixth seep is located 50 yards east of the western easement boundary of NPRS and 200 yards north of Stewarts Creek. This seep lies immediately adjacent to T1 carrying the flow from Seep 1 through the residual mound at the point where it ties in to the wooded cypress swamp. This seep is artesian in nature and forces water out of a pipe three feet above the ground. 7. The seventh seep is located 20 yards west of the eastern easement boundary of NPRS along Cornwallis Road. This seep is located at the top of Wetland 1. V 4.4 Regulatory Considerations A jurisdictional determination was submitted to the US Army Corps of Engineers on December 19, 2012 and approved on February 1, 2013 for the NPRS. An addendum to the jurisdictional determination was approved on May 10, 2013 for NPII. The approved jurisdictional determinations are included in Appendix B. Following the completion of the mitigation plan, a pre- construction notification (PCN) will be completed to apply for a Nationwide 27 Permit (NWP) to comply with Sections 401 and 404 of the Clean Water Act with the Wilmington District of the US Army Corps of Engineers and the NCDENR Division of Water Quality. NPRS is located within the FEMA 100 -year floodplain (Zone AE) for Stewarts Creek as well as a small portion of NPII. A no -rise flood study is expected for-this project. 25 Mitigation Plan 5.0 DETERMINATION OF CREDITS Norman's Pasture /Norman's Pasture 11 Restoration Sites Norman's Pasture Restoration Site, Sampson County Mitigation Credits, " Riparian Non - riparian Nitrogen Phosphorous Stream Wetland Wetland Buffer Nutrient Nutrient Offset Offset Type R RE R RE R RE Linear Feet /Acres 16.2 Credits 16.0 TOTAL CREDITS 16.0 Project Components Project Existing Restoration Restoration ComComponent p Station g/ Footage/ Approach -or- Footage Mitigation -or- Location (PI, PH etc.) Restoration Ratio Reach ID Acreage Equivalent or Acreage Wetland Reestablishment Restoration 15.5 1:1 Wetland Rehabilitation Restoration 0.7 1.5:1 Wetland Preservation Preservation 9.0 N/A Component Summation Buffer Restoration Stream Riparian Wetland Non- riparian Wetland Upland Level (linear feet) (acres) (acres) (square (acres) feet) Non- Riverine Riverine Restoration 16.2 Enhancement Enhancement I Enhancement 11 Creation Preservation 9.0 High Quality Preservation TOTAL CREDITS 16.0 R= Restoration RE= Restoration Equivalent of Creation or Enhancement 26 Mitigation Plan Norman's Pasture /Norman's Pasture 11 Restoration Sites Norman's Pasture II, Sampson County Mitigation Credits Riparian Non- riparian Nitrogen Phosphorous Stream Wetland Wetland Buffer Nutrient Nutrient Offset Offset Type R RE R RE R RE Linear ' Feet /Acres 843 10.2 Credits 337 9.7 TOTAL CREDITS 337 9.7 Project Components Project Existing Restoration -or Restoration Component Stationing/ Footage/ Approach Restoration Footage Mitigation or Location Acreage (PI, PH etc.) Equivalent or Acreage Ratio Reach ID Tributary 1 10 +00 -19+43 843 Enhancement II 843 2:5 Wetland Restoration 8.8 1:1 Reestablishment Wetland Restoration 1.4 1.5:1 Rehabilitation Wetland Preservation 0.8 N/A Preservation Component Summation Buffer Restoration Stream Riparian Wetland Non - riparian Wetland Upland (square Level (linear feet) (acres) (acres) (acres) feet) Non - Rivenne Riverine Restoration 9.7 Enhancement Enhancement I Enhancement II . 337 Creation Preservation 0.8 High Quality Preservation TOTAL CREDITS 337 9.7 R= Restoration RE= Restoration Equivalent of Creation or Enhancement 27 Mitigation Plan Norman's Pasture /Norman's Pasture 11 Restoration Sites 6.0 CREDIT RELEASE SCHEDULE All credit releases will be based on the total credit generated as reported by the as -built survey of the mitigation site. Under no circumstances shall any mitigation project be debited until the necessary DA authorization has been received for its construction or the District Engineer (DE) has otherwise provided written approval for the project in the case where no DA authorization is required for construction of the mitigation project. The DE, in consultation with the Interagency Review Team (IRT), will determine if performance standards have been satisfied sufficiently to meet the requirements of the release schedules below. In cases where some performance standards have not been met, credits may still be released depending on the specifics of the case. Monitoring may be required to restart or be extended, depending on the extent to which the site fails to meet the specified performance standard. The release of project credits will be subject to the criteria described as follows: Forested Wetlands Credits Monitoring Credit Release Activity Interim Total Year Release Released 0 Initial Allocation —see requirements below 30% 30% 1 First year monitoring report demonstrates performance 10% 40% standards are being met 2 Second year monitoring report demonstrates performance 10% 50% standards are being met 3 Third year monitoring report demonstrates performance 10% 60% standards are being met 4 Fourth year monitoring report demonstrates performance 10% 70% standards are being met 5 Fifth year monitoring report demonstrates performance 10% 80% standards are being met; Provided that all performance standards are met, the IRT may allow the NCEEP to discontinue hydrologic monitoring after the fifth year, but vegetation monitoring must continue for an additional two years after the fifth year for a total of seven years. 6 Sixth year monitoring report demonstrates performance 10% 90% standards are being met 7 Seventh year monitoring report demonstrates performance 10% 100% standards are being met, and project has received close -out approval Initial Allocation of Released Credits The initial allocation of released credits, as specified in the mitigation plan can be released by the NCEEP without prior written approval of the DE upon satisfactory completion of the following activities: - Approval of the final Mitigation Plan - Recordation of the preservation mechanism, as well as a title opinion acceptable to th?SACE covering the property - Completion of project construction (the initial physical and biological improvements to the mitigation site) pursuant to the mitigation plan; Per the NCEEP Instrument, construction means that a mitigation site has been constructed in its entirety, to include planting, and an as -built report has been produced. As -built reports must be sealed by an engineer prior to project closeout, if appropriate but not prior to the initial allocation of released credits. - Receipt of necessary DA permit authorization or written DA approval for projects where DA permit issuance is not required 28 Mitigation Plan Norman's Pasture /Norman's Pasture II Restoration Sites Subsequent Credit Releases All subsequent credit releases must be approved by the DE, in consultation with the IRT, based on a determination that required performance standards have been achieved. For stream projects a reserve of 15% of a site's total stream credits shall be released after two bank -full events have occurred, in separate years, provided the channel is stable and all other performance standards are met. In the event that less than two bank -full events occur during the monitoring period, release of these reserve credits shall be at the discretion of the IRT. As projects approach milestones associated with credit release, the NCEEP will submit a request for 'credit release to the DE along with documentation substantiating achievement of criteria required for release to occur. This documentation will be included with the annual monitoring report. 7.0 MITIGATION WORK PLAN 7.1 Target Wetland Types and Plant Communities The NPRS and NPII will be planted as a Riverine Swamp Forest and Headwater Forest communities (NCWAM, w,4.1 2010) based on the location within the Stewarts Creek floodplain. Disturbed areas of NPII will also be planted as a Headwater Forest Community. The planting plan is shown in the attached project plan sheets (Appendix D). Any areas that have a low density of existing vegetation will be supplementally planted with the species listed below. Trees and shrubs will be planted at a density of 968 stems per acre (9 feet x 5 feet spacing) to achieve a mature survivability of two hundred ten (210) stems per acre after seven years. Woody vegetation planting will be conducted during dormancy. Species to be planted may consist of the following and any substitutions from the planting plan will be taken from this list: Riverine Swamp Forest— 22.44 acres Common Name Scientific Name Wetland Indicator River birch Betula nigra FACW Sweet bay Magnolia virginiana FACW Water tupelo Nyssa aquatica OBL Swamp bay Persea palustris FACW Overcup oak Quercus lyrato OBL Swamp chestnut oak Quercus michauxii FACW Laurel oak Quercus laurifolia FACW Bald cypress Taxodium distichum OBL Headwater Forest -16.00 acres Common Name Scientific Name Wetland Indicator Green ash Fraxinus pennsylvanica FACW River birch Betula nigra FACW Sweet bay Magnolia virginiana FACW Swamp chestnut oak Quercus michauxii FACW Laurel oak Quercus laurifolia FACW Water oak Quercus nigra FAC Willow oak Quercus phellos FACW Bald cypress Taxodium distichum OBL Swamp tupelo Nyssa biflora OBL A herbaceous seed mix composed of appropriate native species will also be developed and used to further stabilize and restore the wetland. 29 0 Mitigation Plan Norman's Pasture /Norman's Pasture ll Restoration Sites The project easements will be marked and surveyed as per EEP's requirements contained within http: / /porta1.ncdenr.org /web /eep /fd- forms - templates. The boundary marking plan is described in the attached project plan sheets (Appendix D). 7.2 Design Parameters Norman's Pasture Restoration Site The mitigation approach for NPRS will aim to restore and establish a functional stream /wetland complex with 16.2 acres of wetland restoration. All of the existing drained hydric soils will be restored to a riparian wetland system. Mitigation actions will focus on re- establishing an appropriate wetland hydroperiod by filling ditches, installing ditch plugs, restoring integrated headwater streams, developing and redirecting productive seeps, and planting the site with appropriate vegetation. Existing spoil will be used as available to fill the remainder of the ditches. After filling in ditches and bringing up the elevations of the channelized streams, the restored wetlands will have a diffuse flow, creating a shallow braided stream /wetland system. The existing channelized reaches, T1 and T2, will be graded to a natural condition for the integrated stream /wetland complex, but no stream mitigation credit is included in the NPRS project. Approximately 9.0 acres of wetland preservation (no wetland mitigation credit) are dispersed throughout the NPRS. The proposed project conditions are shown in Section 7.4. While the credit type and ratio for this project generally follow the framework of the restoration mitigation type, these mitigation types have been further refined to be considered either re- establishment or rehabilitation, which are both forms of restoration. Re- establishment occurs where the functions are returned to the site in a location where an aquatic resource previously existed. Rehabilitation results in an improvement in most, if not all, aquatic resource functions at a degraded, existing wetland site (40 CFR Part 230). The USACE has approved restoration credits for both "re- establishment" and "re- habilitation" through the 2008 mitigation rules and subsequently on other EEP projects. The outcome from these discussions has been different ratios for rehabilitation and re- establishment, although they are both considered forms of restoration credit. Riparian Wetland Restoration —16.2 acres (15.5 ac Re- establishment and 0.7 ac Rehabilitation) The mitigation actions at NPRS will focus on bringing up the elevation of the channelized streams of T1 and T2' and creating a shallow braided stream /wetland system. A ditch plug will be installed at the beginning of T1, which will allow water to spread out and develop a braided channel system to the west. A detailed topographic survey was used to design slight grading modifications to redirect and lengthen overland flow paths in order to retain and treat surface hydrology longer. The minor grading will also create multiple flow paths. Surface roughness variations will also be enhanced in areas where the years of agricultural production have overly compacted the soil. The ditched channel of T1 will be filled for approximately 480 If until it reaches an artesian well. The artesian well will have seep protection installed to protect the water source and distribute the flow downstream into the multi- thread headwater /stream wetland. After the artesian well, this section of T1 will remain unfilled through the confluence of T2. After the confluence with T2, the existing channel of T1 transitions into an existing sinuous channel for approximately 200 If. This section of channel has the appropriate pattern and dimensions with access to its floodplain and will remain unfilled. This section of channel will be connected to the restored upstream headwater stream. Further downstream, the ditched channel of T1 will continue to be brought up in grade for approximately 320 If until the confluence with Stewarts Creek. The adjacent spoil pile along the right top of bank will be used to fill the old channel and allow floodplain access. 30 Mitigation Plan Norman's Pasture /Norman's Pasture 11 Restoration Sites The head of T2 will not be disturbed as it is currently functioning as a stream /wetland complex. This area had previously been impacted by cattle compacting the ground, which has caused water to pond and prevented additional herbaceous vegetation from forming. The surrounding buffer will be planted with Riverine Swamp Forest species in those areas without established vegetation. A ditch plug will be installed approximately 160 If south of the start of T2, along the southern portion of the site near Stewarts Creek. At thestart offi2, the adjacent ditch to the northeast will be filled by using the existing spoil pile along the top of bank. As T2 begins to flow west, it becomes a wide channelized ditch and flows for approximately 560 If until it reaches the confluence of T1. The channelized reach will be filled in its entirety and three ditch plugs will be installed along the reach. The new flow path of T2 will be realigned through the center- of the field where Lidar topography shows a defined headwater stream /wetland valley. The restored stream will not be a single- thread channel, but instead will have multiple threads that will meander through the valley bottom toward Stewarts Creek. A seep located in the southeastern portion of NPRS, adjacent Cornwallis Road, will be redirected and redeveloped to retain and distribute surface flow across the site. A 50' by 50' water quality BMP will be installed in this area to maximize seep production. There are two man -made ditches located at the southern portion of the easement that run east to west. The southern ditch will be filled for approximately 864 If, while the northern ditch will be filled for approximately 870 If until the confluence with T1. Filling these two ditches will allow the hydrology that fed these ditches to instead flow southwest into the downslope wetlands. Where there are currently drained hydric soils adjacent to the ditches, the wetlands will be reestablished, by the grading and filling of drainage features. By eliminating the ditched channels and returning the flow to a braided system, all of the wetland /stream functions will be improved and the functions of the system will be significantly increased compared to the existing conditions. Rehabilitation of the existing wetlands will be accomplished by restoring the historic flow paths through the system and re- forestation. Once the grading is completed, the southern and middle portion will be planted as Riverine Swamp Forest while a portion in the north and southeastern sides will be planted as the Headwater Forest Community as described in Section 7.1 and as shown on the planting plan in Appendix D. An overview map of the proposed mitigation is shown in Section 7.4 and the project plan sheets are included in Appendix D. The following elements of functional uplift, increase, and improvement are expected from this project: 1. Increase in flood storage 2. Increase in groundwater recharge 3. Increase in sediment trapping and filtration 4. Increase in carbon storage 5. Increase in biochemical cycling of nutrients and other pollutants 6. Increase in habitat utilization by wildlife (migrants and residents) 7. Increase in landscape patch structure Riparian Wetland Preservation — 9.0 acres These areas are currently forested wetlands and require no specific actions to improve their condition. No actions will be taken in wetlands identified for preservation, and no units will be generated- by-their preservation. 31 Mitigation Plan Norman's Pasture /Norman's Pasture 11 Restoration Sites Reference Wetland A suitable reference wetland was found approximately 1,584 feet northeast of the eastern edge of the NPII, adjacent to Cornwallis Road. The reference wetland is comprised of deciduous hardwoods over a shrub layer and is consistent with the Headwater Forest Community that will be a target wetland type at the project site (see Appendix B, Reference Sites). A groundwater monitoring well was installed in September 2013 to document the reference wetland hydrology during the course of monitoring (see Appendix B, Reference Sites). Norman's Pasture 11 The mitigation approach for NPII will aim to restore and establish a functional stream /wetland system with 10.2 acres of wetland restoration. All of the existing drained hydric soils will be restored to a riparian wetland system. Mitigation actions will focus on filling ditches, developing and redirecting productive seeps, and integrating the wetland area into the adjacent stream /wetland complex. Tributary 1 will be improved using Enhancement II to a first -order stream /wetland system. Approximately 0.8 acre of wetland preservation is located at the southern portion of NPII, which connects to the existing wetlands on NPRS. The credit types and ratios for the NPII wetlands follow the same framework discussed above for NPRS, where wetland re- establishment and rehabilitation are both considered forms of restoration, but with different credit ratios. Riparian Wetland Restoration —10.2 acres (8.8 ac Re- establishment and 0.7 ac Rehabilitation) A seep located in the northern portion of NPII, adjacent to the pond, will be redirected and redeveloped to retain and distribute surface flow across the site. A 50' by 50' water quality BMP will be installed in this area to maximize seep production. The pond is approximately 0.4 acre and will be filled. There are two primary man -made ditches located in the central, portion of NPII and along the eastern portion of the easement bordering Cornwallis Road. The central ditch flows south and will be filled for approximately 840 If until the confluence of Ti. The eastern ditch flows south and will be filled for approximately 870 If until it encounters Cornwallis Road with an existing 24" corrugated metal pipe. The swale adjacent to the CMP will be graded to redirect drainage away from the 24" CMP and into the field. The eastern ditch he two smaller joined ditches that flow southwest and they will be filled for approximately 160 If and 250 If, respectively. The last ditch to be filled is located at the southeastern portion of the NPII and flows southwest for approximately 376 If. Filling the pond and ditches will allow the historic flow paths to reform and to slow the rate of water movement through the system to the downslope wetlands. The current functionality of the seeps is limited. Rehabilitation of the seeps will improve the water quality, aquatic and terrestrial habitat, and provide connectivity of habitat types and flow between the down and up gradient resources. Rehabilitation of the existing wetlands will be accomplished by restoring the historic flow paths through the system and re- forestation. The current drained hydric soils within the project site will be reestablished to riparian wetland and the marginal existing wetlands will be improved. By eliminating the ditched channels and returning the flow to a braided system, all of the wetland /stream functions will be improved and the functions of the system will be significantly increased compared to the existing conditions. 32 Mitigation Plan Norman's Pasture /Norman's Pasture 11 Restoration Sites The wetland located at the head of Tributary 1 will be restored. The incision of T1 has led to the loss of hydrology in the adjacent hydric soils. In order to restore hydrology to the wetland community, the channel grade of T1 will be re- established at historic elevations and rehabilitating the wetland area. Once the grading is completed, the disturbed'areas will be planted as Headwater Forest Community as described in Section 7.1 and as shown on the planting plan in Appendix D. Riparian Wetland Preservation - 0.8 acre There are areas of existing forested wetlands that require no specific actions to improve their condition. No actions will be taken in wetlands identified for preservation, and no units will be generated by their preservation. Reference Wetlands The NPRS reference wetland will also be used for NPII. Stream Enhancement 11 of Tributary 1— 8431f The existing wetland located at the head of Tributary 1 will be rehabilitated. The incision of T1 has led to the partial loss of hydrology in the adjacent hydric soils. In order to restore hydrology to the wetland community, the channel grade of T1 will.be re- established at historic elevations to lengthen the wetland hydroperiod and restore lost hydrologic function to the system. This will be accomplished by placement of grade control structures at critical points along the channel, and raising the invert with a stone mixture that is consistent with the existing gradation of material in the channel. The planform will not be altered as a result of this work. Channel work will be limited to only the specific location of the grade control placement. Invasive species removal and supplemental planting (as needed) will also occur in. this area. In the project plan sheets (Appendix D, Sheet 6), there is a typical cross - section for T1. Given this typical cross - section and the designed grade of the floodplain, the designer will work with the equipment operator to grade this low -flow channel through the valley. T1 will be graded to reconnect the channel to its historic floodplain. It is the intention of the design for the low -flow channel to be sized so that during most precipitation events and dependent on the seasonal elevation of the water table, the low - flow channel capacity is exceeded and overbank flow is spread throughout the valley, accessing multiple flow paths. A reference example of the proposed channel cross - section is best illustrated by the two reference cross - sections (Appendix B). These cross - sections have a primary channel, but there are also low areas adjacent to the channels that have flow in them during storm events. In- stream structures, including riffle enhancement and log drops, will be used to stabilize the channel (refer to Appendix D, Plan. Sheets 3 and 6). These structures are designed to reduce bank erosion, influence secondary circulation in the near -bank region of stream bends, and provide grade control. Riffle areas will also be enhanced with graded gravel material to mimic existing stable riffle features. During construction, the number of mature trees removed from the existing riparian areas will be minimized as much as possible. Any valuable trees that may provide immediate shade to the restored channel will be left in place if feasible. 33 Mitigation Plan Norman's Pasture /Norman's Pasture 11 Restoration Sites Reference Stream A short reach of T1, located approximately 300 If upstream of the existing project reach, was surveyed by KCI in April 2014 (see Appendix B, Reference Sites). The sediment distribution and transport are the same as at the project reach. Two stable riffle cross - sections were surveyed and classified as a C5 channel to be used as a dimensional reference. The stream flows through a headwater forest community and has stable planform and banks with lower banks and a high width /depth ratio. Small sand riffles are present and there is no evidence of bed degradation. The reach contains stable and functional riffles and pools. The dimensionless hydraulic geometry relationships were developed from stable channel dimensions to assist in the design of the proposed channel cross - sectional data for the T1 enhancement reach. 7.3 Data Analysis Wetlands In order to model the effect of filling the onsite ditches and the grading of the wetland restoration areas of Norman's Pasture, DRAINMOD was used to simulate the before and after conditions. DRAINMOD is a computer simulation water balance model that follows the groundwater elevation in the surface profile using soil inputs, climatic data, and drainage conditions (NCSU 2013). It was originally developed for agricultural drainage design, but has been adapted for evaluating wetland hydrology due to its modeling of poorly drained soils over a time step. Two different models were used for the site based on the two sets of recorded groundwater gauge data available for model calibration from the growing season in 2012. Climatic data (daily rainfall and maximum and minimum daily temperatures) were obtained from the Elizabethtown 3 SW COOP Station (312732), approximately 35 miles southwest from the site and the closest station with at least 50 years of daily rainfall data. For the model simulation, 54 years of available data were used (1959- 2012). The daily rainfall was distributed to an hourly increment within the computer program. The temperatures were used in the Thornthwaite potential evapotranspiration calculations. The soils data were obtained from the NRCS parameters for the Bibb Johnston soil series and from onsite observations. Once the baseline model was created in DRAINMOD, the parameters were calibrated to match the gauge data as much as feasible. Variations between the recorded groundwater data and modeled levels exist due to the difference in rainfall intensity between the site and the weather station. The gauge data also showed more seasonal variation than could be accounted for in the model, likely from upslope seepage. The wetland criteria were set to evaluate the groundwater saturation over the growing period of Feb 28 — Nov 21 (267 days) at 12% continuous saturation (32 days). Wetland hydrology was considered achieved if the model reached 12% continuous saturation for 50% or more of the simulated years. The Gauge 1 model was developed for the southern portion of the restoration area of NPRS in the open field. For the existing conditions model, the average drain spacing for this area is approximately 145 feet and the average drain depth is 1.0 foot between the field drains. The proposed conditions model has the same drain spacing with a minimal depth to assume a small influence from the regraded wetland and dispersed surface flow. The surface storage was also increased to 2.0 inches to account for increased surface roughness in the restored wetland. Based on these conditions, the existing conditions model showed that wetland hydrology was achieved 19 out of 54 years, or 35% of modeled years. For the proposed conditions, the site achieved wetland hydrology for 45 out of 54 years, or 83 %. 34 Mitigation Plan Norman's Pasture /Norman's Pasture 11 Restoration Sites The Gauge 2 model was used for the central field of the proposed restoration wetland of- NPRS. The ditch spacing in this area was an average of 165 feet. The average drain depth is also 1.0 feet deep. For the proposed. condition, the drain spacing was again kept the same and the surface storage was also increased to 2.0 inches. The existing conditions model indicated 2 out of 54 years (4 %) with wetland hydrology whereas the proposed conditions model predicted 42 out of 54 years, or 78 %. Based on the model results, the site should show an increase in groundwater hydrology following restoration that will lead to jurisdictional wetland conditions. The model results are included in Appendix C. 35 Mitigation Plan Norman's Pasture /Norman's Pasture II Restoration Sites 36 Mitigation Plan 7.5 Proposed Norman's Pasture /Norman's Pasture 11 Restoration Sites N r� 1 •• ei 0) i P rt_ •a..._�•+ mot• �� •J ' + +Oa t Ile, t+ '::Extent of Project Parcels NPRS Re- establishment (15.5 ac 115.5 WMUs) NPRS Easement (36.9 ac) NPRS Rehabilitation (0 7 ac 10 5 WMUs) 0 NPII Easement (16.3 ac) NPRS Preservation (9.0 ac 10 WMUs) — T1 - Enhancement It 843 If 1 337 SMUs NPII Re- establishment (8 8 ac 18 8 WMUs) Dispersed Flow Project Streams NPII Rehabilitation (1.4 ac / 0.9 WMUs) Other Streams NPII Preservation (0.8 ac 10 WMUs) PROPOSED MITIGATION TYPE Image Source Eastern Piedmont 150 75 0 150 Or7rotmagery. 2013 NORMAN'S PASTUREINORMAN'S PASTURE II ®Feet SAMPSON COUNTY, NC 37 Mitigation Plan Norman's Pasture /Norman's Pasture 11 Restoration Sites 8.0 MAINTENANCE PLAN The site will be monitored on a regular basis, with a physical inspection of the site conducted a minimum of once per year throughout the, post- construction monitoring period until performance standards are met. These, site inspections may identify site components and features that require routine maintenance. Routine maintenance should be expected most often in the first two years following site construction and may include the following: Component /Feature Maintenance Through Project Close -Out Routine wetland maintenance and repair activities may include securing of loose coir Wetland matting and supplemental installations of live stakes and other target vegetation within the wetland. Areas where stormwater and floodplain flows intercept the wetland may also require maintenance to prevent scour. Vegetation shall be maintained to ensure the health and vigor of the targeted plant community. Routine vegetation maintenance and repair activities may include Vegetation supplemental planting, pruning, mulching, and fertilizing. Exotic 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 Department of Agriculture (NCDA) rules�and regulations. Site boundaries shall be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between the mitigation site and adjacent properties. Boundaries may be identified by fence, marker, Site Boundary bollard, post, tree - blazing, or other means as allowed by site conditions and /or conservation easement. Boundary markers disturbed, damaged, or destroyed will be repaired and /or replaced on an as needed basis. 9.0 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS The NPRS and NPII will be monitored to determine if the development of the wetland indicators on site meet the standards for mitigation credit production as presented in Section 5.0. The credits will be validated upon confirmation that the success criteria described below are met. The site will be monitored for performance standards for seven years after completion of construction. Stream Visual Assessment During site walks, KCI will document any areas of erosion, invasive species problems, tree and shrub mortality issues, bed aegradation or degradation, or other'problem area and evaluate whether or not corrective actions are needed. Wetland hydrology monitoring will be conducted to determine if the restored wetland areas meet the proposed performance criteria for wetland hydrology. The site must present continuous saturated or inundated hydrologic conditions for at least 9% of the growing season for the Headwater Forest Community and 12% for the Riverine Swamp Forest Community during normal weather conditions based on a conservative estimate. A "normal" year is based on NRCS climatological data for Sampson County, and using the 30th to 70th percentile thresholds as the range of normal, as documented in the USACE Technical Report "Accessing and Using Meteorological Data to Evaluate Wetland Hydrology, April 2000." The soil survey for Sampson County estimates that the growing season begins February 28 and ends November 21 (267 days). 38 Mitigation Plan Norman's Pasture /Norman's Pasture 11 Restoration Sites Section 10 describes the monitoring requirements for the sites. Monitoring will comply with guidance included in "Monitoring Requirements and Performance Standards for Stream and /or Wetland Mitigation" (NCDENR EEP, 2011). Hydrologic performance will be determined through evaluation of automatic recording gauge data supplemented by documentation of wetland hydrology indicators as defined in the 1987 USACE Wetland.Delineation Manual. Daily data will be collected from automatic wells over the 7 -year monitoring period following implementation. These data will determine if the wetland meets the hydrology success criterion of the water table being within 12 inches of the ground surface continuously for greater than 9% and 12% of the growing season. Vegetation Success The vegetation success criteria will comply with guidance included in "Monitoring Requirements and Performance Standards for Stream and /or Wetland Mitigation" (NCEEP, 2011), which states that the plots must achieve a stem density of 320 stems /acre after three years, 260 stems /acre after five years, and 210 stems /acre after seven years to be considered successful. 10.0 MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Annual monitoring data will be reported using the EEP monitoring template. The monitoring report shall provide a project data chronology that will facilitate an understanding of project status and trends, population of EEP databases for analysis, research purposes, and assist in decision making regarding project close -out.

Monitoring shall subsequently be conducted annually for a total period of seven years or until the project meets'its success criteria. Groundwater elevations will be monitored to evaluate the attainment of jurisdictional wetland hydrology. Verification of wetland hydrology will be determined by automatic recording well data collected within the project area and reference wetland. Automatic recording gauges will be established within the mitigation areas to document the presence of surface water (Refer to Appendix C, Proposed Monitoring Plan). Daily data will be collected from the automatic gauges for a minimum of a 7- year monitoring period following wetland construction. A nearby reference wetland will also be monitored using the same procedures for comparative analysis (Refer to Appendix B for Reference Sites). Beginning at the end of the first growing season, KCI will monitor the planted vegetation in monitoring years 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 or until the success criterion is met. The survivability of the vegetation plantings will be evaluated using a sufficient number of 100 -m2 vegetative sampling plots randomly placed throughout the restored wetland. Permanent monuments will be established at the corners of each monitoring plot and documented by either conventional survey or GPS. The vegetation monitoring will follow the Level 2 method of the current CVS -EEP protocol ( http: / /cvs.bio.unc.edu /methods.htm). Photograph reference points (PRPs) will be established to assist in characterizing the site and to allow qualitative evaluation of the site conditions. The location of each photo point will be marked in the monitoring plan and the bearing /orientation of the photograph will be documented. Annual monitoring reports will be prepared and submitted after all monitoring tasks for each year are completed. The report will document the monitored components and include all collected data, analyses, and photographs. Each report will provide the new monitoring data and compare the most recent results against previous findings. The monitoring report format will be similar to that set out in the most recent EEP monitoring protocol. 40 Mitigation Plan Norman's Pasture /Norman's Pasture 11 Restoration Sites 11.0 LONG -TERM MANAGEMENT PLAN Upon approval for close -out by the Interagency Review Team (IRT), the sites will be transferred to the NCDENR Division of Natural Resource Planning and Conservation's Stewardship Program. This party shall be responsible for periodic inspection of the sites to ensure that restrictions required in the conservation easement are upheld. Endowment funds required to uphold easement and deed restrictions shall be negotiated prior to site transfer to the responsible party. The NCDENR Division of Natural Resource Planning and Conservation's Stewardship Program currently houses EEP stewardship endowments within the non - reverting, interest - bearing Conservation Lands Stewardship Endowment Account. The use of funds from the Endowment Account is governed by North Carolina General Statute GS 113A- 232(d)(3). Interest gained by the endowment fund may be used only for the purpose of stewardship, monitoring, stewardship administration, and land transaction costs, if applicable. The NCDENR Stewardship Program intends to manage the account as a non - wasting endowment. Only interest generated from the endowment funds will be used to steward the compensatory mitigation sites. Interest funds not used for those purposes will be re- invested in the Endowment Account to offset losses due to inflation. 12.0 ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT PLAN . Upon completion of site construction KCI will implement the post- construction monitoring protocols previously defined in this document. Project maintenance will be performed as described previously in this document. If, during the course of annual monitoring it is determined the site's ability to achieve - site performance standards are jeopardized, KCI will notify the EEP and the USACE of the need to - develop a Plan of Corrective Action. The Plan of Corrective Action may be prepared using in -house technical staff or may require engineering and consulting services. Once the Corrective Action Plan is prepared and finalized KCI will: 1. Notify the EEP and USACE as required by the Nationwide 27 permit general conditions. 2. Revise performance standards, maintenance requirements, and monitoring requirements as necessary and /or required by the USACE. 3. Obtain other permits as necessary. 4. Implement the Corrective Action Plan. 5. Provide the USACE a Record Drawing of Corrective Actions. This document shall depict the extent and nature of the work performed. 13.0 FINANCIAL ASSURANCES Pursuant to Section IV H and Appendix III of the Ecosystem Enhancement Program's In -Lieu Fee Instrument dated July 28, 2010, the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources has provided the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington District with a formal commitment to fund projects to satisfy mitigation requirements assumed by EEP. This commitment provides financial assurance for all mitigation projects implemented by the program. 41 Mitigation Plan Norman's Pasture /Norman's Pasture 11 Restoration Sites 14.0 OTHER INFORMATION 14.1 Definitions 8 -digit Catalog Unit (CU) — The USGS developed a hydrologic coding system to delineate the country into uniquely identified watersheds that can be commonly refe'i enced and mapped. North Carolina has 54 of these watersheds uniquely defined by an 8 -digit number. EEP typically addresses watershed — based planning and restoration in the context of the 17 river basins (each has a unique 6 -digit number), 54 catalog units and 1,601 14 -digit hydrologic units. 14 —digit Hydrologic Unit (HU) — In order to address watershed management issues at a smaller scale, the U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) developed methodology to delineate and uniquely identify watersheds at a scale smaller than the 8 -digit catalog unit. A hydrologic unit is a drainage area delineated to nest in a multilevel, hierarchical drainage system. Its boundaries are defined by hydrographic and topographic criteria that delineate an area of land upstream from a specific point on a river, stream or similar surface waters. North Carolina has 1,601 14 -digit hydrologic units. DWQ— North Carolina Division of Water Quality EEP — The North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement combines existing wetlands restoration initiatives (formerly the Wetlands Restoration Program or NCWRP) of the N.C.

Mitigation Plan Norman's Pasture /Norman's Pasture 11 Restoration Sites '1 - Soil Delineation and Characterization Mitigation Plan Norman's Pasture /Norman's Pasture 11 Restoration Sites A detailed soils investigation at the NPRS was conducted by a licensed soil scientist (# 187) to determine the extent and distribution of the hydric soils and to classify the predominate soils to the soil series level. The investigation consisted of delineating the hydric soil boundaries with pink flagging and wooden survey stakes in accordance with the US Army Corps of Engineers, Wetland Delineation Manual (1987) and the USDA Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States: A Guide for Identifying and Delineating Hydric Soils, Version 7.0 (2010). Areas that were identified as possible hydric soil mapping units were surveyed at a higher intensity until the edge of the mapping unit was identified. The boundary of the hydric and non - hydric soil mapping units were then followed by continual sampling and observations as the boundary line was identified and delineated. In those areas where the boundary was found to be a broad gradient rather than a distinct break, microtopography, landscape position, soil textural changes, redoximorphic features, and depleted matrices were additionally considered to identify the extent of the hydric soils. In developing a detailed soils map, several soil borings were advanced on the site in the general hydric soil areas identified by landscape position, vegetation and slope. Once the hydric soil borings were identified, the soil scientist marked the points and established a visual line to the next auger boring where again hydric soil conditions were confirmed by additional borings. The soil scientist moved along the edges of the mapping unit and marked each point along the line. To confirm the hydric soil mapping unit and taxonomic classification, soil borings were advanced to a depth of SO inches. The soil profile descriptions identified the individual horizons in the topsoil and upper subsoil as well as the depth, color, texture, structure, boundary, and evidence of restrictive horizons and redoximorphic features. Delineated hydric soils boundaries were in contrast to those mapped in the Soil Survey of Sampson County, North Carolina. The delineated hydric soil boundaries are shown in the following figure, Detailed Soils Map. Taxonomic Classification The predominant soils identified on the site were of the Lumbee sandy loam (Fine -loamy over sandy or sandy - skeletal, siliceous, subactive, thermic Typic Endoaquults), Bibb and Johnston (Coarse - loamy, siliceous, active, acid, thermic Typic Fluvaquents), Johnston loam (Coarse - loamy, siliceous, active, acid, thermic Cumulic Humaquepts), Chipley sand (Thermic, coated Aquic Quartzipsamments), Johns fine sandy loam (Fine -loamy over sandy or sandy - skeletal, siliceous, semiactive, thermic Aquic Hapludults), Lynn Haven sand (Sandy, siliceous, thermic Typic Alaquods), and Torhunta fine sandy loam (Coarse - loamy, siliceous, active, acid, thermic Typic Humaquepts) soil series. All of these series except for Chipley sand are listed as hydric soils in Sampson County, North Carolina. They are defined as hydric due to saturation for a significant period during the growing season. This soil is listed as hydric on the federal, state and local lists. They are also listed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) as hydric soils.
