Soil Series Descriptions
Autryville loamy fine sand (AuB), 0 to 6 percent slopes
This unit is a very deep, well drained soil found on the summits and shoulders of old
terraces and uplands. They have moderately rapid permeability and runoff is negligible to
very low. The seasonal high water table ranges from 48 to 72 inches below the surface. It
typically has sandy textured subsoil to greater than 50 inches. This soil unit is typically
cultivated. This soil is considered to have small areas of hydric inclusions by the NRCS.
Marvyn and Gritney soils (McQ, 6 to 15 percent slopes
This mapping unit is an undifferentiated group of two soils, Marvyn and Gritney, that are
mapped a one unit because of similar interpretation for use and management. These soils
are deep to very deep, well drained soil found on nearly level to strongly sloping ridge tops
and side slopes. They have slow to moderate permeability and runoff is slow to very rapid.
The seasonal high water table is greater than 80 inches below the surface. They have clayey
subsoil. This soil unit is typically cultivated. This soil is considered to have hydric
inclusions by the NRCS.
Muckalee loam (MkA), 0 to 1 percent slopes, frequently flooded.
This unit is a poorly drained soil found on floodplains of streams. They have moderate
permeability and very slow runoff. This soil typically flood frequently for brief periods. The
seasonal high water table ranges from 0 to 12 inches below the surface. It is typically sandy
and loamy with thin strata that may be clayey. This soil unit is typically forested although a
few areas are drained and used as pasture. This soil is considered hydric when undrained
by the N RCS.
Noboco loamy fine sand (NbB), 0 to 2 percent slopes. This unit is a moderately well to
well drained soil found on summits and shoulder of upland marine terraces. The seasonal
high water table ranges from 30 to 40 inches below the surface. It typically has clayey
subsoil. They have moderate permeability and runoff is low. This soil is not considered to
have hydric inclusions by the NRCS.
Soils Information

Rains fine sandy loam (RaA), 0 to 1 percent slopes. This unit is a poorly drained soil found
across flats, depressions and Carolina bays. They have moderate permeability and runoff is
negligible. This soil may experience flooding. The seasonal high water table ranges from 0
to 12 inches below the surface. It often has clayey subsoil. This soil is considered hydric
when undrained by the NRCS.
Woodington loamy fine sand (WoA), 0 to 1 percent slopes. This unit is a poorly drained soil
found broad interstream divides on the Coastal Plain. They have moderately rapid
permeability and slow runoff. This soil may experience flooding. The seasonal high water
table is within 10 inches of the surface. Formed in coarse Coastal Plain sediments and has
sandy textured subsoil. This soil is considered hydric when undrained by the NRCS.

Biological Assessment Unit, DWQ
Directions for use: The observer is to survey a minimum of 100 meters with 200 meters preferred of stream, preferably in an
upstream direction starting above the bridge pool and the road right -of -way. The segment which is assessed should represent
average stream conditions. To perform a proper habitat evaluation the observer needs to get into the stream. To complete the form,
select the description which best fits the observed habitats and then circle the score. If the observed habitat falls in between two
descriptions, select an intermediate score. A final habitat score is determined by adding the results from the different metrics.

Directions for use: The observer is to survey a minimum of 100 meters with 200 meters preferred of stream, preferably in an
upstream direction starting above the bridge pool and the road right -of -way. The segment which is assessed should represent
average stream conditions. To perform a proper habitat evaluation the observer needs to get into the stream. To complete the form,
select the description which best fits the observed habitats and then circle the score. If the observed habitat falls in between two
descriptions, select an intermediate score. A final habitat score is determined by adding the results from the different metrics.

Directions for use: The observer is to survey a minimum of 100 meters with 200 meters preferred of stream, preferably in an
upstream direction starting above the bridge pool and the road right -of way. The segment which is assessed should represent
average stream conditions. To perform a proper habitat evaluation the observer needs to get into the stream. To complete the form,
select the description which best fits the observed habitats and then circle the score. If the observed habitat falls in between two

Directions for use: The observer is to survey a minimum of 100 meters with 200 meters preferred of stream, preferably in an
upstream direction starting above the bridge pool and the road right -of -way. The segment which is assessed should represent
average stream conditions. To perform a proper habitat evaluation the observer needs to get into the stream. To complete the form,
select the description which best fits the observed habitats and then circle the score. If the observed habitat falls in between two
descriptions, select an intermediate score. A final habitat score is determined by adding the results from the different metrics.

Directions for use: The observer is to survey a minimum of 100 meters with 200 meters preferred of stream, preferably in an
upstream direction starting above the bridge pool and the road right -of -way. The segment which is assessed should represent
average stream conditions. To perform a proper habitat evaluation the observer needs to get into the stream. To complete the form,
select the description which best fits the observed habitats and then circle the score. If the observed habitat falls in between two
descriptions, select an intermediate score. A final habitat score is determined by adding the results from the different metrics.

RE: Biological Evaluation for Best EEP Wetland and Stream mitigation
project in Duplin County
Project Background
The Best Stream and Wetland Restoration Project is located in Duplin County, North Carolina,
approximately two miles east of Beulaville. The project's watershed is primarily agricultural and
contains cattle and hog operations. Remnant forest stands are also found in the low lying areas.
The purpose of this restoration project is to restore and enhance a stream /wetland complex located
within the Cape Fear River Basin. The Best site has been identified by NC Ecosystem Enhancement
Program to provide compensatory mitigation for unavoidable stream and wetland impacts.
Project Description
The Best Mitigation Project is comprised of part of Muddy Creek and ten of its unnamed tributaries.
The current land use surrounding the site consists of farmland, concentrated animal feeding
operations (CAFO), and wooded areas. The mitigation approach includes preservation, invasive
species control, buffer plantings, wetland restoration, stream enhancement, Priority Level 1 stream
restoration, and headwater valley restoration. All mitigation components will provide functional
uplift through direct action (i.e. stabilization) or catchment -scale ecological connectivity (i.e.
preservation).
Stream channels on the site have been heavily impacted by channelization and agricultural
practices. The mitigation channels exhibit a wide range of past and present disturbance and
condition. The CAFOs consist of 11 active hog houses. There are two lagoons storing waste
upslope of the project area, and a single lagoon immediately adjacent to one proposed restoration
reach. The remaining channels are adjacent to cultivated fields, active pasture, or disturbed
forested areas. The channel proposed for restoration or enhancement s have been straightened and
dredged in the past to promote drainage. The total easement area is 134.0 acres, of which 117.8
acres of which are wooded. The remaining area is agricultural or clear -cut. Most of the forested
area is bottomland hardwood forest and has a dense understory. Areas having a higher elevation
have scattered loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) and lower and wetter landscapes contain hardwood
species. Current stream conditions demonstrate significant degradation with a high degree of
incision as a result of straightening and channelization performed to promote agricultural activities.
Surveyed cross sections indicate significant incision and bank instability throughout the restoration
reaches. Additionally, the riparian buffer is in poor condition throughout most of the project area.
Most of the riparian buffer adjacent to these unstable streams is devoid of trees or shrubs, and row

crops or active pasture is present up to the edge of the existing channel. Many of the existing
channels are degraded to a point where they no longer access their floodplain, water quality is
poor, and aquatic life is not supported. Little habitat is available to support aquatic life.
The objective for this restoration project is to restore wetland areas and design a natural waterway
through a stream /wetland complex with appropriate cross - sectional dimension and slope that will
provide function and meet the appropriate success criteria for the existing streams. Accomplishing
this objective entails the restoration of natural stream characteristics, such as stable cross sections,
planform, and in- stream habitat. The floodplain areas will be hydrologically reconnected to the
channel to provide natural exchange and storage during flooding events. Additional project
objectives include restoring the riparian buffer with native vegetation, ensuring hydraulic stability,
and eradicating invasive species.
Protected Species
The US Fish and Wildlife Service ( USFWS) database (updated 22 September 2010) lists one
endangered species for Duplin County, North Carolina: red - cockaded woodpecker (Picoides
borealis). The American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) is listed as Threatened due to similarity
of appearance, but is not protected. In addition to the USFWS database, the NC Natural Heritage
Program (NHP) GIS database was consulted to determine whether previously cataloged
occurrences of protected species were mapped within one mile of the project site. Results from
NHP indicate that there are no known occurrences of federally protected species within a one -mile
radius of the project area. No protected species or potential habitat for protected species was
observed during preliminary site evaluations.
Red - cockaded Woodpecker (Picoides borealis)
Federal Status: Endangered
Federally Listed: 1970
Red - cockaded woodpeckers (RCW) nest in large tracts of open pine stands with a minimum age of
60 -120 years. Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) is the most commonly utilized species for cavity
trees; other species of southern pine are also acceptable. Dense forests or forests with a large
hardwood component are avoided. Cavities for nesting and roosting are constructed in live pines
60 years or older, and are occupied year- round. Because cavities require a year or more to
complete, each colony typically has several new cavities under construction at all times. Old
cavities may become unsuitable when a tree dies, sap flow decreases, or encroaching understory
vegetation makes the cavity vulnerable to predators and competitors. Suitable foraging habitat
contains pines at least 30 years old. Each red - cockaded woodpecker colony (one breeding pair
plus one or more offspring from previous broods) requires foraging habitat containing at least
8,490 square feet of pine basal area, with at least 6,350 trees 10 inches diameter at breast height or
larger, and within 0.5 mile of the cavity tree cluster.
A survey for suitable habitat within the project study area was conducted during general field
surveys on November 7, 2011. Investigators were Daniel Ingram and George Lankford. Both
investigators have over fourteen years experience in biological surveys. Pedestrian surveys were
conducted in the course of project site evaluation and natural community mapping. Within the
project study area, no suitable RCW nesting or foraging habitat is present. In addition to the
USFWS database, the NC Natural Heritage Program (NHP) GIS database was consulted to
determine whether previously cataloged occurrences of protected species were mapped within one
mile of the project site. Results from NHP indicate that there are no known occurrences within a
one -mile radius of the project area. Based on initial site investigations, no impacts to federally
protected species are anticipated as a result of the proposed project.

The forests found in the project area are fragmented and all have a large hardwood component
with a dense understory. Mature pines are present within dense hardwood understory growth and
high climbing vines. No active colonies are reported within three miles of the project area. Due to
the lack of local active colonies and absence of suitable habitat within the project study area, a
biological conclusion of "No Effect" is appropriate for this species.
Biological Conclusion:
No Effect
The proposed project offers some potential to improve or create suitable habitat for several Federal
Species of Concern. Habitat may be improved or created for species that require riverine habitat by
improving water quality, in- stream and near - stream forage, and providing stable conditions not
subject to regular maintenance. Improved stream habitat may benefit American eel (Anguilla
rostrata) and broadtail madtom (Noturus sp. cf. leptacanthus).

SURROUNDING SITES: SEARCH RESULTS
Surrounding sites were identified in the following databases
Elevations have been determined from the USGS Digital Elevation Model and should be evaluated on
a relative (not an absolute) basis. Relative elevation information between sites of close proximity
should be field verified. Sites with an elevation equal to or higher than the target property have been
differentiated below from sites with an elevation lower than the target property.
Page numbers and map identification numbers refer to the EDR Radius Map report where detailed
data on individual sites can be reviewed.
Sites listed in bold italics are in multiple databases.
Unmappable (orphan) sites are not considered in the foregoing analysis.

RCRA - CESQG: RCRAInfo is EPA's comprehensive information system, providing access to data supporting
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1976 and the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA)
of 1984. The database includes selective information on sites which generate, transport, store, treat and /or
dispose of hazardous waste as defined by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Conditionally
exempt small quantity generators (CESQGs) generate less than 100 kg of hazardous waste, or less than 1 kg of
acutely hazardous waste per month.
A review of the RCRA -CESQG list, as provided by EDR, and dated 03/15/2012 has revealed that there is
1 RCRA -CESQG site within approximately 0.25 miles of the target property.

Subject: Project Scoping for Best Site EEP wetland and stream mitigation project in Duplin County.
Dear Mr. Benjamin,
The Best Site has been identified by NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program to provide compensatory
mitigation for unavoidable stream and wetland impacts. This site is currently cultivated land and
bottomland hardwood swamps surrounding Muddy Creek and its tributaries. Some of the stream
channels have been straightened and channelized.
We have obtained an updated species list for Duplin County from the FWS web site
(http: / /www.fws.gov /endangered /). The only threatened or endangered species for this county is the
Red - cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis). We have determined that no suitable habitat for this
species exists within the proposed project boundary.
Please provide comments on any possible issues that might emerge with respect to endangered
species, migratory birds, or other trust resources from the construction of a wetland and stream
restoration project on the subject property. Maps showing the location and approximate limits of the
conservation easement are enclosed.
We thank you in advance for your timely response and cooperation. You may return the comment to
my attention at the address below. Please feel free to contact me at dingram @wl<dickson.com with any
questions that you may have concerning the extent of site disturbance associated with this project.

County.
Dear Ms. Schaller,
The Best Site has been identified by NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program to provide compensatory
mitigation for unavoidable stream and wetland impacts. This site is currently cultivated land and
bottomland hardwood swamps surrounding Muddy Creek and its tributaries. Some of the stream
channels have been straightened and channelized. According to the county soil survey, the site is
mapped as Autryville loamy fine sand, Goldsboro loamy sand, Marvyn and Gritney soils, Muckalee
loam, Noboco loamy fine sand, and Rains fine sandy loam. Current stream conditions demonstrate
significant degradation with a high degree of incision because of straightening and channelization to
promote agricultural activities.
We are requesting that you please complete NRCS Form AD -1006 and return to my attention at the
address below. Attached are AD -1006, a USGS map, a site map showing the approximate property
lines and areas of potential ground disturbance, and a soil map. If we have not heard from you within
45 days we will assume that prime, unique, statewide, or locally important farmland are not present
and will not be affected by this project.
We thank you in advance for your timely response and cooperation. Please feel free to contact me at
dingram @wkdickson.com with any questions that you may have concerning the extent of site
disturbance associated with this project.

Dear Ms. Gledhill - Earley,
The Best Site has been identified by NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program to provide compensatory
mitigation for unavoidable stream wetland impacts. This site is currently cultivated land and
bottomland hardwood swamps surrounding Muddy Creek and its tributaries. The stream channels have
been straightened and channelized.
WK Dickson requests review and comment on any possible issues that might emerge with respect to
archaeological or cultural resources associated with a potential wetland and stream restoration project
on the Best site (a USGS site map with approximate limits of conservation easement is attached).
No architectural structures or archeological artifacts have been observed or noted during preliminary
surveys of the site for restoration purposes. In addition, the majority of the site has historically been
disturbed due to agricultural practices and channel modifications.
We ask that you review this site based on the attached information to determine the presence of any
historic properties. We thank you in advance for your timely response and cooperation. You may
return the comment to my attention at the address below. Please feel free to contact me at

RE: Best Site — Potential EDR Sites of Concern for
Contamination
919.782.9672 fax
The EDR Radius Map" Report with GeoCheck °for the Best Site maps identified four potential sites
as located within the project site or at a higher elevation than the project site. The report also
indicated the target property was not listed in any of the databases searched by EDR and "No
mapped sites were found in EDR's search of available ( "reasonably ascertainable ") government
records either on the target property or within the search radius around the target property... ".
The EDR map identifies four potential sites as located within the project site or at a higher
elevation as the project site (Exhibit 1). They are:
Site
1- National Spinning
Company
2- Beulaville WWTP
3- Beulaville WWTP
4- Town of Beulaville WWTP
Type of Listing Address (distance)
RCRA -CESQG 326 Lyman Road (0.000 mi.)
LUST site 326 Lyman Road (0.035 mi.)
LUST TRUST site 326 Lyman Road (0.046 mi.)
Incident Management Database site 326 Lyman Road (0.035 mi.)
1 The National Spinning Company is a Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator
Handler with ignitable hazardous wastes located at the site. No violations have been reported
at this site.
2 Three potential contamination sites are clustered at the Beulaville WWTP. The first is an
underground petroleum leak that appears to have been closed. No free product was noted
during last Aggressive Fluid Vapor Recovery and very low levels of groundwater contamination
or soil residuals reported.
3 The second site at the Beulaville WWTP is underground petroleum leak of a tank containing
gasoline /diesel that appears to have been closed. No issues reported on follow -up.
4 The third site shown at the Beulaville WWTP is a LUST TRUST.

None of these listed sites appear to be a concern for contamination of the project site. The location
for the potential contamination sites shown on the map provided by EDR is incorrect. The National
Spinning Company is located across Lyman Road from the project site. It appears from available
topographic data that the site is located on a drainage divide with the direction of surface drainage
indeterminate. A field investigation found a ditch north of the National Spinning Company
building draining toward the parking lot. It appears culverts direct flows to the south side where a
ditch channels flows to Lyman road. A culvert at Lyman Road connects to UT 9. The Town of
Beulaville WWTP is located behind the National Spinning Company along an unnamed tributary
to Muddy Creek. The confluence of the unnamed tributary to Muddy Creek and Muddy Creek is
downstream of the project and outside of the project limits (see attached Exhibit 1).
Orphan sites located on Highway 24 were evaluated and all appear to have been closed and /or
outside the project watershed. These orphan sites no longer pose ongoing contamination threat to
the project site. Based upon these results there are no known threats to groundwater
contamination and no Phase I Site Assessment is needed.

Design Information
Provide a general description of project (one paragraph). Include project limits on a
reference orthophotograph at a scale of 1" = 500 ".
Wk Dickson is designing the Best Stream and Wetland Restoration Project in Duplin
County, NC to provide stream mitigation units (SMUs) in the Cape Fear River Basin for
the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). Stream restoration and stream
enhancement activities involving channel and floodplain grading are proposed on
approximately 7,800 linear feet of unnamed tributaries to Muddy Creek. Preservation
and buffer enhancement is proposed on approximately 20,200 linear feet of unnamed
tributaries to Muddy Creek and along Muddy Creek proper. No channel or floodplain
grading is proposed along any streams located in a Special Flood Hazard Area.
Stream reaches and wetland areas are summarized below according to their mitigation
type.
