Report
1.There is a striking correlation between precipitation and wetland gage data showing on this report and
based on previous year trends. This is useful information on Carolina Bay and NRW function.
Noted and agreed.
2.Figure D1. Confirm that the rain data from 2021 is unavailable for June and December.
Rain data from June and December 2021 were added to Figure D1. The onsite rain gauge apparently
malfunctioned during June 2021, reading 0 inches for the entire month; however, a nearby Weather
Underground station (KNCRAEF
December 2021 data were added from the onsite gauge.
Electronic deliverables:
1.Please submit the groundwater gauge summary table in digital format.
The groundwater gauge summary table has been included in the digital submittal.
2.No height data has been included in the monitoring report, if height is a performance standard suggest
inclusion of this data (or wait until MY5 is ok if waiting for that standard to kick in).
The tree height performance standard is not relevant until MY5, and therefore, height data will not be
included in the MY1-4 reports unless otherwise requested.

Arabia Bay Wetland Restoration Site Restoration Systems, LLC
Hoke County, North Carolina December 2022
1.0 PROJECT SUMMARY
Restoration Systems, LLC (RS) has established the North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services (NCDMS)
Arabia Bay Wetland Restoration Site (Site).
1.1 Project Goals & Objectives
Project goals were based on the Cape Fear River Basin Restoration Priorities (CFRBRP) report (NCEEP
2009). Goals are addressed by project objectives as follows:
1.CFRBRP Goal – Reduce and control sediment inputs
Site-specific objective – Cessation of row crop production and conversion of a ditched Carolina
Bay to a depressional wetland, removal of agricultural sediment outputs from the Site, and control
of sediments within the Site.
2.CFRBRP Goal – Reduce and manage nutrient inputs
Site-specific objective – Cessation of row crop production may result in a direct reduction of 160
pounds of nitrogen and 280 pounds of phosphorus per year (based on the nutrient model) from
the elimination of agricultural nutrient inputs/fertilizer application at the Site.
Site-specific mitigation goals and objectives have been developed through the North Carolina Wetland
Assessment Method (NC WAM) analyses of preconstruction and reference wetland systems (NC WFAT
2010) as outlined in the following table.
1.2 Project Background
The Site is situated in a Carolina Bay that was historically cleared, drained, and farmed. In the NC
Geological Survey 1956 aerial photograph for Hoke County, the Site was in agricultural production,
indicating the area was cleared before 1956. The bay is an isolated depression surrounded by sand rims
along the northwest and southeast margins. Land use adjacent to the bay includes rural residential
properties, timber tracts, and additional row crops. Before construction, the Site land use was
characterized entirely by agricultural row crops. Herbaceous vegetation and a few shrubby species grew
along Site ditches, which were regularly maintained by bush hogging and herbicide application.

Restored jurisdictional wetlands
The 1956 NC Geological Survey aerial photograph and 1974 aerial photograph included in the Hoke and
Cumberland Counties Soil Survey show a historic ditch that was not present before Site restoration (USDA
1984). The ditch was located in the middle of the field and ran from the southeast to the northwest,
connecting to the westernmost primary ditch. The historical ditch appeared to be a secondary ditch that
was not necessary for agricultural production and was therefore filled in during the 1980s. A field
investigation was performed using hand tools to locate the historic ditch location and determine if the
subsurface clay layer was intact. Based on the field investigation, it appears the clay layer within the
footprint of the historic ditch is intact.
A Detailed Restoration Plan was prepared for the Site that outlined backfilling agricultural ditches and
planting native forest vegetation. In addition, an outlet structure was designed as an emergency spillway
if the bay filled during significant storm events. The detailed plan was approved by the NCDMS and
Interagency Review Team (IRT) and implemented during the summer of 2019.
1.3 Project Components and Structure
Proposed Site restoration activities generated 16.0 Non-riparian Wetland Mitigation Units (WMUs)
resulting from 16.1 acres of non-riparian wetland restoration.
Additional activities that occurred at the Site included the following:
Moving the access road off the Carolina bay bed and onto the adjacent sand rim. The road was
built according to the construction plans at an average elevation of 223 feet,
Installation of an overflow drop structure to release water from the Carolina bay during significant
storm events (at a water depth of approximately 2.5 feet in the Carolina bay bottom),
Excavation of shallow, elliptical depressions to form hummocks and pools for habitat variation
across the Site,
Plant 16.1 acres of the Site with 10,300 stems (planted species and densities by zone are included
in Table 6 \[Appendix C\]).
A permanent seed mix was applied across the Site.
MY3 Monitoring Report (Project No. 100061) page 2
Arabia Bay Wetland Restoration Site Restoration Systems, LLC
Hoke County, North Carolina December 2022
Site design was completed in November 2018. Construction started on August 5, 2019, and ended with a
final walkthrough on August 22, 2019. The Site was planted on January 24, 2020, and visited by IRT
members in May 2020. Completed project activities, reporting history, completion dates, project contacts,
and background information are summarized in Tables 1-4 (Appendix A).
1.4 Success Criteria
Project success criteria were established per the October 24, 2016, NC Interagency Review Team
Wilmington District Stream and Wetland Compensatory Mitigation Update. Monitoring and success
criteria relate to project goals and objectives. Several goals and objectives are assumed to be functionally
elevated by restoration activities without direct measurement from a mitigation perspective. Other goals
and objectives will be considered successful upon achieving success criteria. The following table
summarizes Site success criteria.
Success Criteria
Wetland Hydrology
Saturation or inundation within the upper 12 inches of the soil surface for, at a minimum, 10 percent of the
growing season, during average climatic condition based on the Wilmington District Stream and Wetland
Compensatory Mitigation Update (USACE 2016), Table 1, for a Typic Paleaquult (Rains).
Vegetation
Within planted portions of the Site, a minimum of 320 stems per acre must be present at year 3; a minimum
of 260 stems per acre must be present at year 5; and a minimum of 210 stems per acre must be present at
year 7.
Trees must average 7 feet in height at year 5, and 10 feet in height at year 7 in each plot.
Planted and volunteer stems are counted, provided they are included in the approved planting list for the
Site; natural recruits not on the planting list may be considered by the IRT on a case-by-case basis.
Any single species can only account for 50% of the required stems within any vegetation plot.
o Ephemeral pool "habitat areas" are a normal component of Carolina bays. Areas of freshwater marsh are
expected to be comprised of herbaceous emergent vegetation and not forested woody vegetation.
Ephemeral pool "habitat areas" are expected to encompass approximately 20% of the bay area and
should not be held to the above vegetative success criteria.
2.0 METHODS
Monitoring requirements and success criteria outlined in this plan follow the October 24, 2016, NC
Interagency Review Team Wilmington District Stream and Wetland Compensatory Mitigation Update.
Monitoring will be conducted by Axiom Environmental, Inc. Annual monitoring reports of the data
collected will be submitted to the NCDMS by Restoration Systems no later than December 31 of each
monitoring year data is collected. The monitoring schedule is summarized in the following table.

*Based on data collected from a soil temperature data logger located on the Site.
In response to drier than normal rainfall for several months in 2021 and 2022 none of the 14 groundwater
gauges met success criteria during the Year 3 (2022) monitoring period (Appendix D). In general, Hoke
County and the surrounding ecoregion have been drier than normal for most of 2021 and 2022. This can
be observed in data available from NOAA – NWS Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service, US Drought
Monitor, and the USACE Antecedent Precipitation Tool. Additionally, this is apparent when comparing
onsite rainfall data to long-term normal rainfall. Specifically, onsite monthly rainfall data from January
2021 through November 2022 shows 13 out of 23 months with drier than normal rainfall. Also, onsite
rainfall data shows the total rainfall for 2021 (28.75 inches) and 2022 (26.47 inches) are both well below
the average total rainfall (46.75 inches) for the area when looking at long-term (1971-2000) data from the
AgACIS weather station Red Springs 1 SE, NC. The long-term average total rainfall from this weather
station was used when calculating the water budget for the Site.
Despite alternating months of drier than normal to normal rainfall from January – September during 2022,
the Site remained visibly dry throughout the year. Following the precipitation trends described above the
Year 3 (2022) growing season, it is apparent that rainfall remained below average for most of this period.
The Site is a precipitation driven wetland and is therefore dependent on retaining all direct precipitation
and benefits from secondary inputs including overland flow and subsurface groundwater. Without
consistent, normal levels of precipitation through the wet season to allow the perched water table to
recharge, the wetland system will not display typical wetland hydrology characteristics during the growing
season. The onsite rainfall data shows drier than normal rainfall from April 2021 through February 2022,
apart from January 2022 having normal rainfall. This explains the failure of the Site to meet wetland
hydrology success criteria for Year 3 (2022). Assuming normal rainfall events rebound during the winter
and spring of 2023, RS expects wetland success criteria will be met during Year 4 (2023). Groundwater
th
gauge graphs, 30-70 percentile rainfall data, soil temperature graph, and relevant antecedent
precipitation data are in Appendix D.
Vegetation Summary
During quantitative vegetation sampling, 14 sample plots (10-meter by 10-meter) were surveyed within
the Site as per guidelines established in CVS-EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation, Version 4.2 (Lee et al.
2008). Year 3 (2022) measurements occurred on July 6, 2022 and included two (2) additional random plots
(50-meter by 2-meter). Measurements of all 16 plots resulted in an average of 465 planted stems/acre.
MY3 Monitoring Report (Project No. 100061) page 5
Arabia Bay Wetland Restoration Site Restoration Systems, LLC
Hoke County, North Carolina December 2022
Additionally, all individual plots met the success criteria except plots 1 and 12 which were each one stem
shy of meeting target goals (Tables 7-9, Appendix C). Plots 1 and 12 had no mortality between Year 2 and
Year 3 monitoring.
