The Project is located in Johnston County, NCbetween the Community of Archer Lodge and the Town of Wendellat 35.73125,-78.35281. The Project site is located inthe NCDEQ Sub-basin 03-04-06, in the Lower Buffalo Creek Priority Sub-watershed 030202011504. The Project involved the restoration, enhancement, preservation,and permanent protection of five stream reaches (R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5) and their riparian buffers, totaling 5,064 linear feet of streams and633,803square feet of riparian buffers. WLS staff visited the site several times throughoutMonitoring Year 5(MY5) for monitoring activities. MY5data collectionoccurred in September 2022(Table 2).This report presents the data for MY5. The Project meets the MY5success criteria for vegetation. Based on these results, WLS proposes closing outthe riparian buffer mitigation project. 2ProjectBackground 2.1ProjectLocation,Setting,andExistingConditions TheProjectsite is locatedinthe Upper Buffalo Creek Sub-watershed 030202011502 study area ofthe Neuse 01 Regional Watershed Plan, in the Wake-Johnston Collaborative Local Watershed Plan, and the Targeted Local Watershed 03020201180050. The catchment areais 156acres and has an impervious cover of approximately one percent. The dominantsurroundingland uses are agriculture and mixed forest. Prior toconstruction, livestock had access to Reaches R3 and R4,and the riparian bufferswereless than 50feet wideon all reaches except R5. 2.2MitigationProjectGoalsandObjectives The following riparian buffer mitigation site -specific goals were developed: Restore and protect riparian buffer functions and habitat connectivity in perpetuity by recording a permanent conservation easement, Implement agricultural BMPs to reduce nonpoint source inputs to receiving waters. To accomplish these site-specific goals, the following objectives will be measured and included with the performance standards to document overall project success: Increase native species riparian buffer vegetation density/composition along streambank and floodplain areas that meet requirements of a minimum 50-foot-wide and 260 stems/acre after monitoring year 5, Prevent cattle from accessing the conservation easement boundary by installing permanent fencing and reducing fecal coliform bacteria from the pre-restoration levels. Pen Dell Mitigation Project(Riparian Buffer Mitigation) FINAL Monitoring ReportYear 5 Page1 Water & Land Solutions 2.3ProjectHistory,Contacts,andTimeframe The Project will provide riparian buffer mitigation credits in accordance with North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC), “Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule”, Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295, effective November 1, 2015. Riparian buffer mitigation site viability was confirmed by DWRs April 28, 2016 letter entitled “Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset –Pen Dell Located Near 2505 Wendell Rd, Wendell, NC, Johnston County”. The referenced viability letter specified for Reach R1 thatriparian buffer credits only being allowedoutside of 25 feetoff the top of stream banks.The described site viability confirmation included a determination by DWR that Project Reaches R2, R3 (Includes Project Reach R4) and R5 were either intermittent or perennial. A request for Stream Origin/Buffer Applicability Determination for Project Reach R1, as required in the referenced viability letter, was submitted to DWR on June 10, 2016. On June 20, 2016 and June 21, 2016 DWR performed the requested determination and Reach R1 was determined to be intermittent, as communicated in the DWR June 22, 2016 letter entitled “Subject: Buffer Determination Letter, NBRO #16-180 Johnston County”, therefore confirming Reach R1’s eligibility for riparian buffer mitigation. See Appendix D for DWR correspondence and approval letters. The final mitigation plan and PCN were submitted to DMS September 29, 2017,for submission to DWR and the NCIRT. The Section 404 General (Regional and Nationwide) Permit Verification was issued January 12, 2018. Project construction started on January 29, 2018 and mitigation site earthwork was completed on April 1, 2018, and mitigation site planting was completed on April 6, 2018, both by RiverWorks Construction. Trueline Surveying, PC completed the as-built survey in June 2018. WLS completed the installation of baseline monitoring devices on April 19, 2018,and the installation of survey monumentation and conservation easement boundary marking on June 7, 2018. Monitoring year 1 occurred between April and November 2018.Monitoring year 2 occurred in between November 2018 and October 2019. Monitoring Year 3 occurred between September2020 and October 2020.Monitoring Year 4 occurredin September 2021.Monitoring Year 5 occurred in September 2022. During MY5, WLS discovered that thepowerline right-of-way that was removed from DMS stream credits had not been removed from buffer credits. The powerline right of way runs along Lake Wendell Road and overlays themitigationeasement. The conflict was initially addressedat the As-Builtstage andReach R4 wasreduced by 35 feet. WLS has removed the buffer credits in the powerline area,thisresultedin a reduction of 4,613restoration buffer creditsand 3enhancement buffer credits. With the reductionin buffer restoration creditsthe amount of preservation credits was also reduced to comply with the buffer Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295(n)(2),that preservation may be no more than 25 percent of the total area. The new total buffer credits for the project is357,861.800. The project background and attribute summary arepresented in Table 1. Refer to Figure 1 and Table 2 for the project areas and buffer asset information. Relevant project contact information is presented in Table 3. 3ProjectMitigationComponents 3.1RiparianBufferMitigationTypesandApproaches Riparian buffer mitigation included restoring, enhancing and preserving the riparian buffer functions and corridor habitat. The project included planting to re-establish a native species vegetation riparian buffer corridor, which extended a minimum of 50 feet from the top of the streambanks along each of the project Pen Dell Mitigation Project(Riparian Buffer Mitigation) FINAL Monitoring ReportYear 5 Page2 Water & Land Solutions reaches, as well as permanently protecting those buffers with a conservation easement. Many areas of the conservation easement had riparian buffer widths greater than 50 feet established along one or both streambanks to provide additional functional uplift. The only exception is at the upstream end of Reach R2, where the width of the proposed left riparian buffer varies between 20 feet and 29 feet from the right top of bank. This narrow area of proposed riparian buffer is due to the site constraint caused by an existing residential driveway. For project reaches proposed for restoration and enhancement, the riparian buffers were restored through reforestation of the entire conservation easement with native species riparian buffer vegetation. For project reach sections proposed for preservation, the existing riparian buffers are permanentlyprotected via the conservation easement. A significant area of the existing northern riparian buffer for Reach R2 was incorrectly described as “Native hardwood forest, closed canopy” in the referenced site viability letter, as this area of the buffer was a fescue lawn. WLS proposed this area for riparian buffer restoration in the approved mitigation plan (Figure 11 Riparian Buffer Mitigation). Additionally, permanent fencing was installed along with alternative watering systems to exclude livestock from the restored riparian buffer and conservation easement areas. Table 1 and Figure 1 (Appendix A) provide a summaryof the project components. 3.1.1Tree and Shrub Planting Approaches The riparian buffer planting zones for the project included the streambanks, floodplain, riparian wetland, and upland transitional areas. The as-built planting boundaries are shown on the as-built vegetation plans in Appendix Eand Figure 1. Proposed plantings were conducted using native species bare-root trees and shrubs, live stakes, and seedlings. Proposed plantings predominantly consisted of bare-root vegetation and were generally plantedat a total target density of 680 stems per acre. WLS implemented a riparian buffer planting strategy that includes a combination of overstory, or canopy, and understory species. The site planting strategy also included early successional, as well as climax species. The vegetation selections were mixed throughout the project planting areas so that the early successional species will give way to climax species as they mature over time. 3.1.2Temporary and Permanent Seeding Approaches Permanent seed mixtures ofnative species herbaceous vegetation and temporary herbaceous vegetation seed mixtures were applied to all disturbed areas of the project site. Temporary and permanent seeding were conducted simultaneously at all disturbed areas of the site during construction utilizing mechanical broadcast spreaders. The as-built re-vegetation plan lists the utilized species, mixtures, and application rates for permanent seeding. 3.1.3Invasive Species Vegetation Treatment During the project construction, invasive species exotic vegetation was either mechanically removed or chemically treatedboth to control its presence and reduce its spread within the conservation easement areas. During MY5vegetation assessment, no areas of concern was observed within the conservation easement boundary. 4PerformanceStandards The applied success criteria for the Project will follow necessary performance standards and monitoring protocols presented in final approved mitigation plan. Annual monitoring and semi-annual site visits will be conducted to assess the condition of the project throughout themonitoring period. Monitoring Pen Dell Mitigation Project(Riparian Buffer Mitigation) FINAL Monitoring ReportYear 5 Page3 Water & Land Solutions activities will be conducted for a period of five years. Specific success criteria components and evaluation methods are described below. 4.1Vegetation Measurements of the final vegetative restoration success for the project will be achieving a density of not less than 260, five-year-old planted stems per acre in Year 5 of monitoring. This final performance criteria shall include a minimum of four native hardwood tree species or four native hardwood tree and native shrub species, where no one species is greater than 50 percent of the stems. Native hardwood tree and native shrub volunteer species willbe included to meet the final performance criteria of 260 stems per acre. Volunteer species are only counted if they are at least 12” tall.Volunteer species will only be included if surviving for at least two years and are included were included in the approved planting plan. In addition, diffuse flow of runoff shall be maintained in the riparian buffer areas. 5MonitoringYear5AssessmentandResults Annual monitoring was conducted during MY5in accordance with the monitoring plan as described in the approved mitigation plan and was intended to document the site improvements based on restoration potential, catchment health, ecological stressors and overall constraints. Allthe monitoring device locations are depicted on the CCPV (Figure 1) and MY5monitoring data results are listed in the appendices. The Project meets the MY5success criteria for vegetation. 5.1Vegetation Vegetation monitoring for MY5was conducted utilizing the seven vegetation monitoring plots, with monitoring conducted in accordance with the CVS-EEP Level I & II Monitoring Protocol (CVS, 2008) and DMS Stream and Wetland Monitoring Guidelines (DMS, 2017). See Figure 1 in Appendix B for the vegetation monitoring plot locations. All veg plots meet thevegetative success criteria of at least 260 planted stems per acre at the end of MY5 and the site is on trajectory to remain successful. Vegetation plots ranged from 324to 849 stems per acre. The number of hardwood tree and shrub species ranged from 4 to 10 species per plot. The greatest percentage of a species in a single plot ranged from 19 percent to 50 percent. Summary data and photographs of each plot can be found in Appendix Band C. The MY5 vegetation monitoring was also conducted utilizing visual assessment throughout the easement. A small encroachmentarea(VPA1) of approximately 0.05 acres was found along R1 left floodplain during a spring MY4 site visit. No trees were damaged due to mowing, only herbaceous vegetation.During MY5, encroachment in this area has stopped. Three additional encroachments were discovered during MY5. VPA2 (0.006 acres) and VPA3 (0.012 acres) are small encroachments due to mowing along the farm field of the right floodplain of R1. VPA4 (0.003 acres) is a small encroachment caused by mowing along the driveway adjacent to the easement near R2. All encroachments have been marked with additional t-posts and horse tape. These areas will be monitored closely in MY6 to ensure encroachments have ceased. An area along R1 with dense pine volunteers was identified during MY5 (0.58 acres). During MY6, pine will be thinned to allow desirable volunteer and planted species to further establish. Pine will be thinned by hand. The results of the visual assessment did not indicate any additional significant negative changes to the existing vegetation community.
