EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Arrington Bridge III Wetland Mitigation Project is located on a 57.40 acre site three miles
southwest of Goldsboro in western Wayne County, NC. One unnamed channelized drainage feature
that traverses the site exhibits diminished habitat value as a result of past and on -going agricultural
activities. The site was identified by EBX -Neuse I, LLC as having potential to help meet the
compensatory mitigation requirements for wetland impacts in hydrologic unit 03020201 of the Neuse
River Basin.
The Arrington Bridge III Wetland Mitigation Project involves the restoration and enhancement of
41.67 acres of wetlands that have been disturbed by historic mining, agricultural activities, and active
cattle grazing. The conceptual design presents 29.08 acres of wetland restoration and 11.87 acres of
wetland enhancement, generating 32.22 Wetland Mitigation Units (WMU's).The proposed project
will be the third of three phases. The Arrington Bridge I & II mitigation sites are located on the north
side of Arrington Bridge Road; Arrington Bridge I is on the east side of John Road, and Arrington
Bridge 11 is on the west side of John Road. These two buffer and nutrient mitigation sites are
hydrologically connected to the Arrington Bridge III site. The three Arrington Bridge sites
complement each other, and, together, will confer a greater water quality benefit to the Neuse River
than any one of the sites alone.
The proposed Arrington Bridge III mitigation project is located within the southern portion of the
RUC and includes a channelized drainage feature that discharges into the Neuse River. Due to its
location and proposed improvements, the project will provide numerous ecological and water quality
benefits within the Neuse River Basin. While many of these benefits are limited to the project area,
others, such as pollutant removal and improved aquatic and terrestrial habitat, have more far - reaching
effects.
Land use immediately surrounding the project includes pasture, surface mining, industrial, and
forestry. The total easement area is 57.40 acres. Numerous old borrow pits, spoil, and fill areas
adjacent to the restoration area are evidence of past sand mining operations. A small unnamed
tributary enters the project from uplands to the north (Arrington Bridge I and II), flowing through a
wooded buffer along the base of the terrace. The channel has been dredged and channelized
throughout most of the project. Soil investigations show that much of the low -lying landscape
exhibits hydric characteristics and a shallow seasonal high water table. The site is located on a large
inside meander of the Neuse River. There are three community types present within the project area:
pasture, forest, and development. The restoration area is primarily pasture and forest and the
enhancement areas are Cypress -Gum forests with shallow pools and marsh throughout.
The objective for this restoration project is to restore a continuous riverine swamp forest and
bottomland wetland system and enhance the hydrology of existing wetlands. The design will be
based on reference conditions, USACE guidance ( USACE, 2005), and criteria that are developed
during this project to achieve success. Additional project objectives, such as restoring the riparian
buffer with native vegetation, ensuring hydraulic stability, and eradicating invasive species, are listed
in Section 1.
The primary wetland restoration activities will include:
• The backfilling and stabilizing of the main canal and existing side ditches;
• Three permanent grade control structures will be installed at the downstream end of each
wetland slough to control water elevations;
Arrington Bridge III Mitigation Plan ii February 2015

The fill material on one of the access roads will be removed and stabilized to restore the
natural flow pattern, and the pond will be backfilled with the adjacent spoil pile;
Areas of cut and fill will be re- graded to create a continuous wetland/slough and bottomland
wetland system.
Existing wetland areas will be enhanced through invasive species control, hydrology
improvements, and habitat connectivity.
After completion of all construction and planting activities, the site will be monitored on a regular
basis and a physical inspection of the site will be conducted at a minimum of twice per year
throughout the seven -year post - construction monitoring period, or until performance standards are
met. These site inspections will identify site components and features that require adaptive
management. Because of the surface roughing and shallow depressions, a range of hydroperiods and
inundation is expected
The hydrology success criterion for the site is to restore the water table at the site so that it will
remain continuously within 12 inches of the soil surface for at least nine percent of the growing
season (approximately 23 days), within the bottomland hardwood forest areas, during normal rainfall
years. Surface hydrology will also be monitored to document inundation throughout the wetland
slough zones. Surface hydrology success criterion within the wetland slough zones will be remain
inundated for at least 36 continuous days throughout the entire calendar year. Inundation will be
measured at points of outflow from the slough areas. The interim measures of vegetative success for
the Zone 1 areas (Cypress -Gum Swamp) will be the survival of at least 140 trees per acre at the end
of Year 7 of the monitoring period. The interim measures of vegetative success for the Zone 2 areas
(Bottomland Harwood Forest) will be the survival of 210 trees per acre at the end of Year 7 of the
monitoring period.
Upon approval for closeout by the Interagency Review Team (IRT), the site will be transferred to a
responsible third party. They shall be responsible for periodic inspection of the site 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.

1 RESTORATION PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The 2010 Neuse River Basin Restoration Priorities (RBRP) identified several restoration needs for the
entire Neuse River Basin, as well as for HUC 03020201, specifically. The Arrington Bridge III
Wetland Restoration Project was identified as a wetland restoration opportunity to improve water
quality, habitat, and hydrology within the Neuse 01 River Basin.
The project goals address stressors identified in HUC 03020201 and include the following:
• Nutrient removal,
• Sediment removal,
• Invasive species removal,
• Filtration of runoff, and
• Improved aquatic and terrestrial habitat.
The project goals will be addressed through the following project objectives:
• Converting active pasture to a wetland slough and bottomland wetland system,
• Fill and stabilize existing ditches,
• Restoration of bottomland hardwood and riverine swamp forest habitats, and
Enhancement of hydrology in existing wetlands.
The proposed Arrington Bridge III project is located within the downstream portion of HUC
03020201 and contains a channelized drainage feature that drains directly to the Neuse River. Due to
its location and proposed improvements, the project will provide numerous ecological and water
quality benefits within the Neuse River Basin. While many of these benefits are limited to the project
area, others, such as pollutant removal and improved aquatic and terrestrial habitat, will have more
far - reaching effects. Many of the project design goals and objectives, including restoration of riparian
buffers to filter runoff from agricultural operations and improve terrestrial habitat, and construction of
in- stream structures to improve habitat diversity, will address the degraded water quality and nutrient
input from farming that were identified as major watershed stressors in the 2010 Neuse RBRP. The
Arrington Bridge I & II mitigation sites are located on the north side of Arrington Bridge Road;
Arrington Bridge I is on the east side of John Road, and Arrington Bridge II is on the west side of
John Road. These two buffer and nutrient mitigation sites are hydrologically connected to the
Arrington Bridge III site. The three Arrington Bridge sites complement each other, and, together, will
confer a greater water quality benefit to the Neuse River than any one of the sites alone.
2 SITE SELECTION
2.1 Directions to Site
The Arrington Bridge III Wetland Site is located in Wayne County approximately three miles
southwest of downtown Goldsboro, NC (Figure 1). The GPS coordinates of the site are 35.342895 °N
and - 78.009907 °W. To access the Site from the town of Goldsboro, travel south on NC HWY 117,
and turn left onto Arrington Bridge Road (NC Highway 581). Turn right onto the dirt entrance road
immediately after crossing the railroad tracks (approximately 0. 15 miles). Turn left after 0.3 miles. In
0.1 miles, follow the left fork to access the northern end of the Site. Following the path to the right
will lead to the middle and southern portions of the Site.
Arrington Bridge III Mitigation Plan I February 2015

2.2 Site Selection
2.2.1 USGS Hydrologic Unit Code and NC DWQ River Basin
The project is located within the Neuse River Basin (8 -digit USGS HUC 03020201, 14 -digit USGS
HUC 03020201200040, NC DWQ 03- 04 -12) (Figure 2). The 2010 Neuse River Basin RBRP
identified several restoration needs for the entire Neuse River Basin, as well as for HUC 03020201,
specifically. Goals include promoting nutrient and sediment reduction in agricultural areas by
restoring and preserving wetlands, streams, and riparian buffers.
2.2.2 Project Components
The project area is comprised of a single easement located on a 57.40 acre site three miles southwest
of Goldsboro in western Wayne County, NC. One unnamed channelized drainage feature that
traverses the site exhibits diminished habitat value as a result of past and on -going agricultural
activities. The proposed project is the third of three phases. The Arrington Bridge I & II mitigation
sites are located on the north side of Arrington Bridge Road; Arrington Bridge I is on the east side of
John Road, and Arrington Bridge II is on the west side of John Road. These two buffer and nutrient
mitigation sites are hydrologically connected to the Arrington Bridge III site. The three Arrington
Bridge sites complement each other, and, together, will confer a greater water quality benefit to the
Neuse River than any one of the sites alone. The proposed project involves the restoration and
enhancement of 41.67 acres of wetlands that have been disturbed by historic mining, agricultural
activities, and active cattle grazing. The conceptual design presents 29.08 acres of wetland restoration
and 11.87 acres of wetland enhancement, generating 32.22 Wetland Mitigation Units (WMU). The
wetland mitigation components are summarized in (Table 1 & Figure 9).

2.2.3 Historical Land Use and Development Trends
Aerial imagery and information provided by the property owners indicate that the Site has been used
extensively for mining and agricultural purposes, and that the location of the central channel has not
changed in over 40 years (Figure 4). By 1974, the area was cleared, much of the barrow removed, and
conversion of area to agricultural production was occurring. The current ditch system was mostly in
place. Land use patterns have remained constant since then with surrounding land use developing
slowly. Vegetation cover has modulated between regrowth and clearing, with areas converted to
pasture. Between 2005 and 2006 McArthur Lake was expanded and the access road moved north
along a small ridge. Very little has changed across the site during the last 40 years. Across much of
the site, soil structure and surface texture have been altered from intensive mining operations.
Although the soils characterized on the restoration area are classified as poorly drained, the ditching
system and channelization of the stream have caused these soils to be effectively drained. Historical
land use and development trends on the Arrington Bridge III Site are summarized in Table 2.
Arrington Bridge III Mitigation Plan 2 February 2015

Table 2. Historical Land Use and Development Trends
Date Land Use and Development Observations*
Conditions consist of borrow areas and ditched fields throughout the project area.
The downstream area has scrub -shrub vegetation. The central ditch is channelized.
1974 A small high ridge is forested. Along the Neuse River, the floodplain is
crisscrossed with older borrow areas, but much of this area is in scrub -shrub
vegetation. Low wet areas are visible along portion that may be the old flow
pattern.
1977 Land use conditions have changed very little. More old borrow area near the
downstream end have become scrub -shrub vegetation.
1980 Land use conditions have changed very little. Vegetation along the ditches show
regrowth.
The water treatment plant on the south bank of the Neuse River and the Fellowship
1983 Baptist Church were constructed. The small upland forested area and vegetation
along the ditches has been cleared.
1993 -1998 Land use conditions have changed very little.
McArthur Lake expanded to the north. Dirt path moved to north side of lake. Some
2005 -2006 of the vegetated areas appear to be young pines. Lower fields cleared and planted
in grass.
2008 Thinning of pines on the 2598318336 parcel is evident, likely for pasture. The
lower landscape in the pasture to the northwest was allowed to reforest.
2009 Upland ditch to central channel feature was placed in culvert

2.3 Soil Survey
The Arrington Bridge III Wetland Mitigation Site is located in the Coastal Plain Physiographic
Province. The soils within the Coastal Plain region of Wayne County formed in sediments deposited
several million years ago by the oceans and streams. The flood plains along the Neuse River consist
of relatively recent deposits of sediments that are not as highly weathered as sediments in the Coastal
Plain Region. The soils of Wayne County are acid and strongly leached. They are mostly low to very
low in natural fertility. They require applications of lime. Fertilizer is also needed to increase the
content of calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, and potassium. The organic- matter content of the soils
is mostly low to very low except for some very wet soils in which water has retarded oxidation. The
Arrington Bridge III site is shown to straddle two soil associations: the Johnston - Chewacla- Kinston
association and the Wickham -Johns association.
The Johnston - Chewacla- Kinston association is found along major streams such as the Neuse River.
The major soils are Chewacla, Johnston, and Kinston. They are somewhat poorly to very poorly
drained. Wetness is a severe limitation for these soils, and they are subject to very frequent floods.
The Wickham -Johns association is found on fairly broad, long, low ridges and depressions on stream
terraces. It is on the terrace along the Neuse and Little Rivers. The major soils are Wickham and
Johns. The site appears more aptly described by the Johnston - Chewacla- Kinston association.
Arrington Bridge III Mitigation Plan 3 February 2015

The Wayne County Soil Survey shows eight mapping units across the project site. Map units include
eight soil series and borrow pits (Figure 3). The upland soils found in this area of the county formed
in sandy sediments from marine and fluviomarine deposits or loamy alluvium. The upland soils at this
site are on a river terrace above the active floodplain. The soil series found on the site are described
below and summarized in Table 3; Appendix E.
Coxville loam (Co). This is a poorly drained soil found across flats, Carolina bays, and depressions.
They have moderately slow permeability and runoff is negligible. The seasonal high water table
ranges from 0 to 12 inches below the surface. It has clayey subsoil. Major uses are forest, pasture and
cropland. This soil is considered hydric when undrained by the NRCS.
Johns sandy loam. This is a somewhat poorly to moderately well drained soil found on stream
terraces. They have moderate permeability and runoff is negligible to low. The seasonal high water
table ranges from 18 to 36 inches below the surface. It typically has clayey subsoil. This soil unit is
typically cultivated or forested. This soil is considered to have hydric inclusions by the NRCS.
Kalmia loamy sand, 2 to 6 percent slopes. This is a well- drained soil found on stream terraces. It
has moderate permeability and runoff is negligible to low. The seasonal high water table ranges from
42 to 72 inches below the surface. It has clayey subsoil. This soil unit is typically cultivated or
forested. This soil is considered to have hydric inclusions by the NRCS.
Lakeland sand. This is a moderately excessively drained soil found on broad to narrow uplands. The
seasonal high water table is greater than 80 inches below the surface. It has typically has sand subsoil
to greater than 80 inches. It has rapid to very rapid permeability and runoff is slow. Uses are for
pasture and cropland. This soil is considered to have hydric inclusions by the NRCS.
Pantego loam. This is a very poorly drained soil found on nearly level and slightly depressional
areas. This soil is very poorly drained. It has very slow runoff, has moderate permeability, and is
often ponded. The seasonal high water table ranges from 0 to 12 inches below the surface. It has
clayey subsoil. Major uses are forest with limited pasture and cropland. This soil is considered hydric
when undrained by the NRCS.
Rimini sand. This is a moderately excessively drained soil found on rims around "Carolina Bays"
and on broad smooth divides in the Coastal Plain. The seasonal high water table is greater than 80
inches below the surface. It has typically has sand subsoil to greater than 80 inches. It has rapid to
very rapid permeability and runoff is slow. This soil is mostly forested. This soil is considered to have
hydric inclusions by the NRCS.
Weston loamy sand. This is a poorly drained soil found across flats, Carolina bays, and depressions.
It has moderately slow permeability and runoff is very slow. The seasonal high water table ranges
from 0 to 12 inches below the surface. It often has clayey subsoil. This soil is mostly forested with
limited use as cropland. This soil is considered hydric when undrained by the NRCS.
Wickham loamy sand. This is a well - drained soil found on stream terraces. It has moderate
permeability and runoff is medium to rapid. The seasonal high water table is greater than 80 inches
below the surface. It sometimes has clayey subsoil. This soil unit is typically cultivated or forested.
This series has two slope phases (0 to 2 percent and 2 to 6 percent slopes) and one eroded phase. This
soil is considered to have hydric inclusions by the NRCS.
Borrow Pits. This is a mapping unit indicating the area has significant disturbance in the past due to
soil removal and earth work. The borrow pits located near the project area most likely were mined for
Arrington Bridge III Mitigation Plan 4 February 2015

sand or gravel, leaving non -sand overburden distributed unevenly across the area. The material
removal results in exposure of silty or clayey subsoils that tend to have high compaction, low organic
matter, and low fertility. The natural establishment of vegetation is slow and uneven. Often areas of
excavation are below the groundwater and result in ponded areas of varying depth.

4 BASELINE INFORMATION
4.1 Watershed Summary Information
4.1.1 Drainage Area
The easement totals 57.40 acres with one unnamed tributary entering the easement and draining into a
channelized wetland ditch, which runs the length of the easement. The total drainage area at the
downstream limits of the project is 403 acres (0.63 mi2). The land use in the project watershed is
approximately 41 percent cultivated cropland, 18 percent pasture, 16 percent forested, eight percent
residential, eight percent commercial, and seven percent managed open space.
4.1.2 Surface Water Classification
The current State classification for the channelized drainage feature and ditches within the Arrington
Bridge III Mitigation Site are undefined. The feature is connected to the Neuse River. The Neuse
River is defined as Class C NSW (NCDWQ 2012a). Class C waters are suitable for aquatic life,
secondary recreation, and agricultural usage. The NSW is a designation for nutrient sensitive waters —
intended for waters needing additional nutrient management due to being subject to excessive growth
of microscopic or macroscopic vegetation. The Neuse River upstream and downstream of the site is
classified as impaired waters. All waters in the Neuse River basin are Impaired on an evaluated basis
in the Fish Consumption category for mercury contamination. This is based on fish consumption
advice from the NC Department of Health and Human Services (NC DHHS). Downstream in the
Neuse River, low dissolved oxygen levels are present.

4.1.3 Endangered/Threatened Species
Plants and animals with a federal classification of endangered or threatened are protected under
provisions of Sections 7 and 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. Rare and
protected species listed for Wayne County, and any likely impacts to the species as a result of the
project construction, are discussed in the following sections.
The US Fish and Wildlife Service ( USFWS) database (accessed 16 December 2014) lists one
endangered species for Wayne County, North Carolina: red - cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis
(Table 6). The Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act (BGPA) and prohibits take of bald and golden eagles. No protected species or
potential habitat for protected species was observed during preliminary site evaluations.
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
Arrington Bridge III Mitigation Plan 9 February 2015

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.
WK Dickson submitted a request to USFWS for review and comments on the proposed Arrington
Bridge III Restoration Project on January 5, 2015 in regards to any potential impacts to threatened
and endangered species.
The proposed project offers some potential to improve or create suitable habitat for several Federal
Species of Concern. Terrestrial habitat will be improved through the restoration and enhancement of
bottomland hardwood and cypress -gum wetland communities. Intact wetland habitat will be protected
in perpetuity. Improved terrestrial habitat may benefit pondspice ( Littea aestivalis), Cuthbert
turtlehead (Chelone cuthbertii), and Rafinesque's big -eared bat—Coastal Plain subspecies
(Corynorhinus rafinesquii marcotis).

4.1.4 Cultural Resources
Cultural resources include historic and archeological resources located in or near the project area. WK
Dickson completed a preliminary survey of cultural resources to determine potential project impacts.
A review of the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office GIS Web Service database did not
reveal any listed or potentially eligible historic or archeological resources in the proposed project
area. No architectural structures or archeological artifacts have been observed or noted during 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.
WK Dickson submitted a request to the NC State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) to search
records to determine the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance
that may be affected by the Arrington Bridge III Restoration Project on January 5, 2015.
Arrington Bridge III Mitigation Plan 10 February 2015

4.2Wetland Summary Information
4.2.1 Existing Wetlands
The USFWS National Wetland Inventory Map (NWI) depicts wetlands within the project site (Figure
4). The channelized drainage feature to the Neuse River is mapped as PFOIA (Palustrine Forested
Broad - Leaved Deciduous Temporarily Flooded). Additional wetlands just outside of the proposed
easement are mapped as PSS1Fx (Palustrine Scrub -Shrub Broad - Leaved Deciduous Semi -
permanently Flooded- Excavated), PEM1Cx (Palustrine Emergent Seasonally Flooded- Excavated),
and PEM1Gx (Palustrine Emergent Persistent Intermittently Exposed- Excavated). The Neuse River is
classified as R2UBH (Riverine Lower Perennial Unconsolidated Bottom).
Adjacent to the Neuse River a complex of Coastal Plain Levee Forest and Cypress -Gum Swamp
communities are present. A wide sand ridge separates these communities from the mining and
agricultural activities. The landscape is characterized by long narrow sand ridges separated by
sloughs and semi - permanent linear depressions that parallel the Neuse, creating a high diversity of
habitats. These levee and swamp communities are frequently flooded by the Neuse. Disturbances are
limited to old dirt paths and shallow ditches.
A detailed wetland delineation was performed in July 2013. Wetland boundaries were delineated
using current methodology outlined in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation
Manual (DOA 1987) and Regional Supplement to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetland
Delineation Manual: Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region (Version 2.0) (U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers 2010). Soils were characterized and classified using the Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in
the United States, Version 7.0 (USDA -NRCS 2010). Wetland boundaries were marked with
sequentially numbered wetland survey tape (pink/black striped). Flag locations were surveyed under
the direction of a Professional Licensed Surveyor (PLS) with GPS and conventional survey
(Figure 5; Table 7). USACE regulatory staff (Emily Greer) reviewed the delineation in September
2013.
Jurisdictional wetlands are present in the enhancement area north of the central channel. The
wetlands on the Site are divided between heavily disturbed and functional. The disturbed wetlands are
impacted by surface mining and agricultural practices. These areas have altered drainage patterns,
disturbed soils, and are reduced in area due to drainage. Hydric soils also extend beyond the wetlands
and will be restored as described in Section 8.2.
The wetter forested areas north of the ditch have a wide range of hydrology present, from narrow
sand ridges to shallow open water. These wetlands appear to have hydrology due to slope seepage,
but are impacted by drainage from the ditch. The strongest wetland indicators were located adjacent
to the slope. During the delineation hydrology was at or near the surface within much of the
delineated area. The soils are very dark brown to black with a loamy surface underlain by silty or
clayey subsoils. The canopy ranges from open to closed and where not inundated the understory is
moderately developed with shrubs, vines and herbaceous vegetation. This community is best
described as a Cypress -Gum Swamp and Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwood Forest.

4.2.2 Existing Hydric Soil
In addition to the jurisdictional wetland areas, hydric soils were located in three areas on the
Arrington Bridge III project site (Figure 9). The soils lack hydrology for jurisdictional wetland
primarily due to ditching and contour modification due to mining operations. Soils having hydric
indicators are present in areas proposed for wetland enhancement and restoration. The enhancement
areas are located within the forested community northeast of the ditch and the restoration area is
located southwest of the ditch in the pasture. Jurisdictional wetlands appear to be present in the
enhancement area to the northeast of the site. This wetland appears to have hydrology due to slope
seepage, but is impacted by drainage from the ditch. The wetland soils are variable with the strongest
indicators adjacent to the slope. The ditch is currently well maintained along the edge of the pasture.
Numerous small feeder ditches exist and the topography has likely been surface contoured in many
places to provide as much drainage as possible.
Generally, soils in the proposed wetland enhancement and restoration areas typically exhibited a dark
surface having a loamy or silty texture. Clayey or silty subsoils are present within 12 inches. In the
subsoil, mottles of redoximorphic concentrations along pore linings are present. The most common
hydric indicators observed were Al 1 (Depleted Below Dark Surface), Al2 (Thick Dark Surface), F3
(Depleted Matrix), and. 176 -Redox Dark Surface. Other indicators observed include A7 (5 cm Mucky
Mineral), and S7 (Dark Surface).
Hydric soils within the proposed enhancement and restoration areas were verified through auger
borings by a licensed soil scientist. The site evaluation identified four distinct soil areas; 1) having
hydric indicators without wetland hydrology, 2) disturbed soils having hydric indicators and lacking
wetland hydrology 3) having hydric indicators and appear to have wetland hydrology, and 4) lack
both hydric indicators and hydrology (Appendix E).
4.2.3 Vegetation
Current land use around the project is primarily agricultural and forestry. Land use immediately
surrounding the project includes of pasture, surface mining, industrial, and forestry. Numerous old
borrow pits, spoil, and fill areas adjacent to the restoration area are evidence of past sand mining
operations. A small unnamed drainage feature enters the project from uplands to the north, flowing
Arrington Bridge III Mitigation Plan 12 February 2015

through a wooded buffer along the base of the terrace. The feature has been dredged and channelized
throughout the project. Soil investigations show that much of the low -lying landscape exhibits hydric
characteristics and a shallow seasonal high water table. The site is located on a large inside meander
of the Neuse River. There are two community types present within the project area: pasture and
forest. The restoration area is primarily pasture and forest and the enhancement areas are Cypress -
Gum forests with shallow pools and marsh throughout.
Within the proposed restoration area, the pasture is either Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon) with
scattered loblolly pines, or fields planted with annual rye /wheat, depending upon the season. Other
grasses and weeds are limited. Outside of the fenced pasture, the altered stream channel is routinely
maintained, keeping vegetation weedy and early successional. The low -lying areas and ditches have
common rush (Juncus effusus) and sedges (Carex sp.). Forested areas adjacent to the proposed
restoration are dominated by red maple (Acer rubrum) with limited river birch (Betula nigra), swamp
tupelo (Nyssa biflora), and bald cypress (Taxodium distichum). An understory is mostly absent.
The proposed enhancement areas are low -lying sloughs and linear wetlands divided by shallow sand
ridges. Although currently forested, the previously mined area contains remnant impacts, including
dirt paths, shallow drainage ditches, and portions of a breached impoundment. Scattered large cypress
grow where permanent pools are present. The forested areas are divided into drier and wetter
communities. The drier landscapes contain a canopy of red maple, laurel oak (Quercus laurifolia),
water oak (Quercus nigra), and sycamore (Platanus occidentalis). The understory is red maple,
American hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana), highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum), and giant
cane (Arundinaria gigantea). Green briar (Smilax sp.) is locally dense.
The wetter forested areas have a wide range of hydrology present, from narrow sand ridges to shallow
open water. The canopy is open to closed, and includes bald cypress, swamp tupelo, river birch, red
maple, and laurel oak. Where not inundated, the understory consists of river birch, American
hornbeam, red maple, and common persimmon (Diospyros virginiana). Herbaceous vegetation
includes Florida spiderlily (Hymenocallis floridana), giant cane, smallspike false nettle (Boehmeria
cylindrical), and lizard's tail (Saururus cernuus). Vines are present throughout, and include roundleaf
greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia), muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia), Rattan vine (Berchemia scandens),
and poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans). This forested community is best described as Cypress -
Gum Swamp (Brownwater Subtype), in part, and Coastal Plain Levee Forest (Brownwater Subtype),
in part.
Some exotics were noted, including Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) and Japanese honeysuckle
(Lonicera japonica).
4.3Regulatory Considerations and Potential Constraints
4.3.1 Property Ownership, Boundary, and Utilities
There are no major constraints to construction of the Arrington Bridge III Site. This site is readily
accessible from Arrington Bridge Road via multiple access roads on the property. There are no
existing mineral rights issues, easements, or utility corridors within the proposed site boundaries.
4.3.2 Site Access
There are no access constraints to the Arrington Bridge III Site. To access the Site from the town of
Goldsboro, NC travel south on HWY 117, and turn left onto Arrington Bridge Road (NC Highway
581). Turn right onto the dirt entrance road immediately after crossing the railroad tracks
Arrington Bridge III Mitigation Plan 13 February 2015

(approximately 0.15 miles). Turn left after 0.3 miles, and in 0.1 miles follow the left fork to access
the northern end of the site. Following the path to the right will lead to the middle and southern
portions of the Site. The site protection instrument can be found in Appendix A.
4.3.3 FEMA/ Hydrologic Trespass
Hydrologic trespass is not a concern for this project. The Arrington Bridge III Site is located within a
FEMA 100 -year floodplain (Figure 6). No grading or earthwork will take place within FEMA-
regulated floodways. While designing the project, appropriate measures were taken to avoid
hydrologic trespass of the adjacent land area. The adjacent land use will not be affected by the
proposed design, and the property owners have been notified of any potential impacts from
hydrologic trespass within existing ditches. No detrimental impacts are expected beyond the easement
limits.

Arrington Bridge III Mitigation Plan 16 February 2015

7 FUNCTIONAL RATIONALE
The objective of this project is to produce 32.22 WMUs and maximize the improvement of
hydrologic function, water quality, and aquatic habitat through the restoration and enhancement of a
continuous wetland/slough and bottomland wetland system. With a focus on total ecosystem
restoration, the mitigation design will uplift wetland function at the Arrington Bridge III site, and also
provide numerous ecological and environmental benefits to the broader Neuse River Basin. Benefits,
which are described in more detail below, will include increased hydrologic function, improvements
to water quality, and improved wetland habitat.
Hydrologic Function Improvements
The filling and stabilizing of onsite ditches and channels coupled with the restoration of natural flow
patterns will lead to improvements in the hydrologic function of the Site. Soil investigations show
that much of the low -lying landscape exhibits hydric characteristics and a shallow seasonal high
water table. Based on the landscape position and patterns of surface flow to the
restoration/enhancement areas, improvement of hydrologic function will be realized in various
degrees across the landscape. The areas along the current main channel and the downstream portion
of the project will support a typical wetland slough habitat that will improve surface water storage
and retention. These sloughs will hold standing water for large portions of the growing season and be
a large component of the mixture of habitats. The range of soil characteristics and landscape positions
will also produce wetland areas with less surface water present where direct improvements in
subsurface water storage and retention will be realized. The creation of this bottomland wetland
system will aid in the maintenance of water table levels by increasing infiltration and groundwater
recharge. The Arrington Bridge III Site is hydrologically connected to the Arrington Bridge I & I1
Mitigation Sites on the North side of Arrington Bridge Road. Together, these three mitigation sites
will improve hydrologic function and water quality entering the Neuse River more robustly than any
one of the sites alone.
Water Quality Improvements
The improved hydrologic function and water storage of the Arrington Bridge III Site will lead to
water quality improvements including nutrient removal, sediment reduction, and runoff filtration. By
trapping sediments, retaining excess nutrients, and filtering runoff the Arrington Bridge III Site will
provide valuable benefits to the water quality of the downstream and surrounding areas. These
improvements are especially important as the Site and surrounding areas were once directly
connected to the Neuse River and any improvements to the area will lead to water quality
improvement to the Neuse River. The improved hydrologic function and water quality improvements
will, in turn, lead to direct and indirect benefits to the aquatic and terrestrial habitat in the area.
Habitat Improvements
Many species rely on wetland habitat for breeding, forage, and cover. As a transition between
terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, conditions present in restored wetlands provide a patchwork of
landscape features and physical structures that harbor increased diversity of plant and animal species.
The design of the Arrington Bridge III Site will provide a patchwork of habitats including areas more
typically characterized by semi - permanent inundation (cypress -gum swamps) and other areas that will
be intermittently to seasonally saturated (bottomland hardwood forests). The abundant vegetation and
shallow water will provide functional uplift and increased habitat for species of birds, fish, mammals,
amphibians, and reptiles.
Arrington Bridge III Mitigation Plan 17 February 2015

8 MITIGATION WORK PLAN
8.1 Reference Wetland Studies
8.1.1 Target Reference Conditions
The restoration portions of the Site are characterized by agricultural and livestock practices. Several
ditches exist in the watershed and contribute to the project site. Physical parameters of the site were
used, as well as other reference materials, to determine the target community types. An iterative
process was used to develop the final information for the site design.
To develop the target reference conditions, physical site parameters were reviewed. This included the
land use, soils mapping units, as well as general topography. The "Classification of the Natural
Communities of North Carolina" was used to narrow the potential community types that would have
existed at the site (Schafale and Weakley, 2003). The design of the Arrington Bridge III Site will
provide a patchwork of habitats including Cypress -Gum Swamps more typically characterized by
semi- permanent inundation, and Bottomland Hardwood Forests that will be intermittently to
seasonally saturated.
Targeted reference conditions included the following:
• Located within the Physiographic Region — Inner Coastal Plain,
Similar land use onsite and in the watershed,
Similar watershed soil types,
Similar site soil types,
• Ideal, undisturbed habitat
Similar topography, and
• Minimal presence of invasive species
8.1.1.1 Reference Site Search Methodology
All the parameters used in Section 4.1 were used to find appropriate reference sites. Obtaining
property owner information and owner authorization for access was another factor in locating suitable
reference sites for the project. For this project, there was no predetermined amount of reference sites
needed as long as the site was suitable and met the parameters. Several potential reference sites were
assessed, and their characteristics were noted. It is difficult to find reference sites on the coastal plain
because many have been disturbed by farming or urban development. One reference site that proves
to be ideal is located on the Howell Woods Property.
8.1.1.2 Reference Community Characterization
The 2,800 acre property of the Howell Woods Environmental Learning Center is located on the
Neuse River Floodplain and has relatively flat topography with elevations ranging from 84 to 108 feet
above mean sea level. The dominant land use in the vicinity is woodlands and agricultural production,
with large tracts of Cypress -Gum Swamp and Bottomland Hardwood Forests. The proposed
reference communities drain into Mill Creek and, ultimately the Neuse River. Natural drainage
patterns throughout the watershed have been largely unaltered. Based on the landscape position and
proximity to the Neuse River several sloughs and drainage ways influence the drainage patterns on
the property. The diversity of hydrology and vegetation structure present on the Howell Woods
property provides a suitable reference community for the design of the Arrington Bridge III site.
Arrington Bridge III Mitigation Plan 18 February 2015

The Cypress -Gum Swamp community is mostly found adjacent to channels, sloughs, and
depressions. This linear forest has limited canopy breaks, and shades the channels. It is dominated by
bald - cypress, swamp tupelo, and eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoides). Sweetgum (Liquidambar
styraciva) and overcup oak (Quercus lyrata) also occur regularly in this community along with
other individuals common in the Bottomland Hardwood Forest community. Various sedges and forbs
are present in the shallow water and margins and very few invasives are present. This community is
permanently saturated and semi - permanently flooded due to topography and beaver impoundments.
Disturbance is limited to hunting trails, beaver impoundments, past timber harvesting, and damage
from wild boars (Sus scrofa) in this high quality wetland ecosystem.
The Bottomland Hardwood Forest community is located in the buffer outside of the channels and
grades into the Cypress -gum swamp community along the edge of channels. The mature hardwoods
form a dense canopy. The shrub and herb strata range for relatively open to locally dense. Several
sloughs are present off of the stream channels and offer open water habitat diversity. Evidence of
frequent flooding was found across the site. The dominant bottomland trees include cherrybark oak
(Quercus pagoda), overcup oak, swamp chestnut oak (Quercus michauxii), sweetgum, willow oak
(Quercus phellos), red maple, green ash (Fraxinus pensylvanica), and American elm (Ulmus
americana). Disturbance is minimal and includes hunting trails and damage from wild boars. This is
a high quality wetland ecosystem.
8.2 Design Parameters
8.2.1 Wetland Restoration Approach
The Arrington Bridge III Wetland Mitigation project will provide 32.22 wetland mitigation units
through a combination of Wetland Restoration and two levels of Wetland Enhancement. The existing
pasture areas on the Site will be treated with Wetland Restoration at a credit ratio of 1:1. Wetland
Restoration activities will include: plugging the main channel and side ditches, removing fill, and
regrading the area to reconstruct historical contours. A credit ratio of 3:1 is proposed for higher -uplift
wetland enhancement areas, including a drained area of planted cypress, an excavated pond, and
forested areas along the north side of the main ditch. A ratio of 5:1 is proposed for the lower -uplift
wetland enhancement areas, which are primarily along the north side of the main ditch. Both levels of
Wetland Enhancement will be treated by enhancing the hydrology and providing long -term
protection. This will be accomplished by filling the ditches across the site to raise the water table and
restore a more natural drainage pattern. Additionally, the pond will be backfilled with the adjacent
spoil pile and planted with trees and a permanent seed mix. Although this area will be restored to a
wetland, it will receive Enhancement credits at a ratio of 3:1 because the pond is already a
jurisdictional feature.
8.2.1.1 Wetland Restoration Summary
The primary wetland restoration activities will include:
• The backfilling and stabilizing of the main channelized drainage feature and existing side
ditches;
A permanent grade control structure will be installed at the downstream end of the project to
control water elevation on the site;
The fill material on one of the access roads will be removed and stabilized to restore the
natural flow pattern, and the pond will be backfilled with the adjacent spoil pile;
Areas of cut and fill will be re- graded to create a continuous wetland/slough and bottomland
wetland system.
Arrington Bridge III Mitigation Plan 19 February 2015

Plugging ditches and main channelized drainage feature
Plugging of the main feature and side ditches will be accomplished through a combination of
backfilling and the construction of ditch plugs throughout the easement area. Approximately 8,600
linear feet of open ditch will be backfilled within the easement boundary. Ditches will be filled,
compacted, and graded to the adjacent floodplain elevation. Typical ditch plugs will be 20 feet wide
and extend above the top of the ditch bank elevation a minimum of 6 inches. Plugs will be
constructed of compacted fill placed in 12 -inch lifts with the upper 18 inches minimally compacted to
allow for plant growth. Plugs are spaced such that successive plugs are no more than 6 inches in
elevation below one another. At the point of departure from the conservation easement, a headwater -
type channel will be graded to the existing ditch elevation. When possible, ditch plugs will be
constructed using excavated material from the restoration and construction of wetland pools.
Fill Removal, Pond Backfill, and rg rg adin o' fsite
Disturbed soils underlain by hydric soils (as described in the soils report) will be graded to allow for a
more natural hydrologic regime and function. Additionally, the fill material on the access roads will
be removed to restore the natural flow pattern of the site. The proposed restoration site is very gently
sloping (less than one percent) but does contain approximately 3 feet of elevation difference across
the site. Several decades of agricultural management and mining operations has eliminated
microtopography across the site. As outlined in the soils report (Appendix E), approximately 12.6
acres of the project area is described as disturbed soils having hydric indicators and lacking wetland
hydrology. These include large areas in a lower landscape position located adjacent to visible borrow
pits. The soils in these areas have variable textures that are exhibiting hydric indicators. All of this
area is in pasture and currently grazed. Three wetland slough habitats will be constructed along the
current ditch areas and one shallow depression will be excavated within the restoration area (outside
of the immediate vicinity of the ditches). These sloughs will occupy 14.75 acres of the 29.08 acres of
wetland restoration. The sloughs will have a max depth of one foot but will generally be 0.25 to 0.75
feet deep. During construction of the sloughs and depressions the surface horizon (upper eight
inches) will be removed and stockpiled. Approximately ten inches of subsoil will be removed, and
then the topsoil will be replaced. This approach will retain the nutrient rich sandy loam topsoil and
provide clay subsoil for ditch plug construction. The depressions will offer increased surface storage,
infiltration, and enhanced hydroperiod outside of the ditch corridors. The entire conservation
easement will be disked to break up the plow layer, increase surface roughness, and promote
infiltration.
One excavated pond will be backfilled with soil from the adjacent spoil pile. The filled pond will be
considered enhancement due to the jurisdictional status of the existing open water habitat.
8.2.1.2 Proposed Wetland Hydrology
The Arrington Bridge III Mitigation Site was once a Cypress Gum Swamp wetland subject to
prolonged inundation as indicated by soils mapping, historical aerial photography, and personal
communication with landowners. By 1974, the area was cleared, much of the borrow removed, and
conversion of area to agricultural production was occurring. The current ditch system was mostly in
place.
The restoration plan for the site consists of filling and stabilizing current ditches, converting active
pasture to a bottomland wetland system, restoring bottomland hardwood and riverine swamp forests,
and enhancing the hydrology of existing wetlands. The backfilling and plugging of ditches will
lengthen wetland hydroperiods by halting artificial subsurface drainage and preventing rapid surface
drainage. Periodic flooding is vital to sustain plants and wildlife characteristic of riverine wetlands
Arrington Bridge III Mitigation Plan 20 February 2015

(Ainslie, 2002). The drainage area for the project area is approximately 0.63 square miles. The
restored wetlands will have a variable flooding regime due to the small size of the drainage area.
8.2.1.3 Soils
Hydric soils within the proposed wetlands were verified through auger borings by a licensed soil
scientist (Appendix E). Map units include eight soil series and borrow pits (Figure 3). The upland
soils at this site are on a river terrace above the active floodplain. The soil series found on the site are
summarized in Table 3. A preliminary assessment of hydrologic trespass was performed on the site.
It appears that the adjacent agricultural fields are topographically elevated sufficient to provide
drainage onto the floodplain without impacting existing drainage. Restoration activities will include:
• Plugging /filling agricultural drainage ditches to raise the seasonal groundwater elevations;
• Grading disturbed hydric soil areas to more natural topography and hydrologic function;
• Planting native tree and shrub species commonly found in wetland ecosystems; and
• Creating a rough soil surface to aid in infiltration and storage by ripping and discing.
Hydric soils were located in three areas on the Arrington Bridge III project. Based upon field
observation, these areas have significantly altered hydrology due to the drainage modifications. These
modifications have increased the rate of surface runoff and lowered the groundwater elevation
throughout the area containing hydric soil on the right bank of the channel. The restoration and
enhancement of these wetlands will result in an elevated seasonal high water table, increased flood
frequency and duration, and increased precipitation infiltration across the entire site. Furthermore,
the wetland restoration and enhancement will lead to benefits to the aquatic and terrestrial habitat in
the area. Soils in the wetland restoration area will be tested for fertility, and soil amendments may be
specified as needed.
8.2.2 Natural Plant Community Restoration
8.2.2.1 Plant Community Restoration
The restoration of the plant communities is an important aspect of the restoration project. The
selection of plant species is based on what was observed at the reference reach, species present in the
forest surrounding the restoration site, and what is typically native to the area. Several sources of
information were used to determine the most appropriate species for the restoration project.
The Wetland Restoration areas will be planted in two zones. The plant species list can be found in
Table 11. Zone 1 will include the wetter, lower -lying areas, and will be restored to a cypress -gum
swamp target community, as described in Schafale and Weakley. This community is also classified as
a Riverine Swamp Forest using the final NC Wetland Assessment Method ( NCWAM) dichotomous
key to general NC wetland types. Zone 2 will include areas expected to be only intermittently
inundated, and will be restored to a Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwoods target community, as
described in Schafale and Weakley. This community is also classified as a Bottomland Hardwood
Forest using the final NCWAM dichotomous key to general NC wetland types.
The Zone 1 target community, Riverine Swamp Forest, is characterized by seasonal to semi-
permanent inundation. These communities occur in the wettest portions of large river floodplains.
Overbank flooding is usually an important source of water, as well as groundwater and overland
runoff. Vegetation is usually dominated by bald cypress, black gum, and water tupelo (Nyssa
aquatica) in the Coastal Plain ecoregions. Herbaceous cover is typically more open than in
Bottomland Hardwood Forests.
Arrington Bridge III Mitigation Plan 21 February 2015

The Zone 2 target community, Bottomland Hardwood Forest, is typically intermittently to seasonally
saturated. Overbank flooding can be an important source of water, as can groundwater and surface
runoff. This wetland type is characterized by ground surface relief that provides good water storage.
This wetland type is dominated by hardwood tree species, including various oaks (Quercus spp.), red
maple, ashes ( Fraxinus spp.), sycamore, sweetgum, box elder (Acer negundo), hackberry (Celtis
laevigata), and American elm.

8.2.2.2 On -Site Invasive Species Management
Within the restoration area the pasture is either Bermuda or fields planted with annual rye /wheat,
depending upon the season. Other grasses and weeds are limited. Within the wetter forested areas
some exotics were noted including Chinese privet and Japanese Honeysuckle. Control for invasive
species will be required within all grading limits associated with restoration and enhancement.
Invasive species will require different and multiple treatment methods, depending on plant phenology
and the location of the species being treated. All treatment will be conducted so as to maximize its
effectiveness and reduce chances of detriment to surrounding native vegetation. Treatment methods
may include mechanical control (cutting with loppers, clippers, or chain saw) and chemical control
(foliar spray, cut stump, and hack and squirt techniques). Plants containing mature, viable seeds will
be removed and properly disposed of offsite. All herbicide applicators will be supervised by a
certified ground pesticide applicator with a North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer
Services (NCDA &CS) license and adhere to all legal and safety requirements according to herbicide
labels and NC and Federal laws. Management records will be kept on the plant species treated, type
of treatment employed, type of herbicide used, application technique, and herbicide concentration and
quantities used. These records will be included in all reporting documents.
8.2.3 Best Management Practices
Due to the rural nature of this project, individual stormwater best management practices (BMPs) will
not be required. However, diffuse flow structures may be applied at locations where ditches or other
forms of concentrated flow enter the conservation easement. All diffuse flow structures will be
installed within the conservation easement so that landowners will not have access to the structures.
Failure or maintenance of the structures is not anticipated as structures will be installed in low -
gradient areas, and the areas proposed to diffuse flow will be well vegetated and matted. Additionally,
the Arrington Bridge III Site is hydrologically connected to the Arrington Bridge I & 1I Mitigation
Arrington Bridge III Mitigation Plan 22 February 2015

Sites on the North side of Arrington Bridge Road. Together, these three mitigation sites will improve
water quality entering the Neuse River more robustly than any one of the sites alone.
Areas of concentrated flow will be protected as needed with erosion control matting, plantings, and
natural channel design structures.
Stormwater management issues resulting from future development of adjacent properties will be
governed by the applicable state and local ordinances and regulations. It is recommended that any
future stormwater entering the site maintain pre - development peak flow. Any future stormwater
diverted into the project should be done in a manner as to prevent erosion, adverse conditions, or
degradation of the project in any way.
8.2.4 Soil Restoration
Microtopography and surface roughness are key components to promoting infiltration of precipitation
and recharge of the shallow water table. After construction activities, the subsoil will be scarified and
any compaction will be deep tilled before the topsoil is placed back over the site. Any topsoil that is
removed during construction will be stockpiled and placed over the site during final soil preparation.
This process should provide favorable soil conditions for plant growth. Rapid establishment of
vegetation will provide natural stabilization for the site.
8.3 Wetland Hydrologic Analysis
The proposed Site and surrounding areas were once a forested wetland directly connected to the
Neuse River. Due to the largely flat topography, the floodplain is subject to flooding from the Neuse
River. Although the soils in the restoration area are classified as poorly drained, the extensive
mining, ditching, and conversion of the site to pasture has caused these soils to be effectively drained
in restoration areas. The jurisdictional wetlands in the site appear to have hydrology from slope
seepage, but are affected by drainage from the ditch.
In general, the hydrology of the site is dictated by surface runoff, stream flow, and river overbank
flows. Seasonally high water tables also contribute to the hydrology of the site. The soils report
(Appendix E) indicated that a majority of the site has hydric soil indicators present and that the level
topography would create conditions favorable to a perched water table. The design of the Arrington
Bridge III site will restore a hydrologic gradient of Cypress -Gum Swamps more typically
characterized by semi- permanent inundation, and Bottomland Hardwood Forests that will be
intermittently to seasonally saturated. As described by Schafale and Weakley (1990), Cypress -Gum
Swamp systems are wet forests that are flooded for long periods of time and Bottomland Hardwood
Forests occur on river floodplains and at edges of Cypress -Gum Swamps. Both systems rely on
overbank flooding and comprise bottomland/slough wetland systems.
The influence of channel overbank flow may vary seasonally to yearly in magnitude, duration, and
frequency (WRP Technical Note HY- EV -2.1, 1993). It may be anticipated that the majority of
flooding of riverine wetlands occurs during the winter months and the early portions of the growing
season. Surface water of riverine wetlands may be present for extended periods during the growing
season and usually greater than 14 consecutive days, but is typically absent by the end of the growing
season in most typical years (EPA, 2006). Field indicators of surface inundation include water - stained
leaves, drift lines and water marks on trees (EPA, 2006). In the absence of surface water, the water
table is often near the ground elevation.
Arrington Bridge III Mitigation Plan 23 February 2015

8.3.1 Wetland Hydrology Assessment
Runoff from the local watershed and stream flow from the unnamed tributary will provide sufficient
hydrologic input and will provide the opportunity for nutrient and pollutant removal in these
wetlands. To determine the general input to the site from the local watershed in terms of providing
significant hydrology that is needed to sustain saturated conditions a runoff calculation and stream
baseflow estimate was performed.
Runoff Calculations
Runoff onto the wetland creation/enhancement site was determined using the TR -55 Curve Number
Method as described by Pierce 1993. This was done by first determining the amount of rainfall
required over a 24 -hour period to produce runoff (Q) for the drainage area. Q is measured in inches of
rainfall. The drainage area was delineated using Southeast Goldsboro and Southwest Goldsboro 7.5
Minute USGS topographic quadrangles (Figure 2).
The value of Q for the drainage area was then subtracted from daily precipitation values over the
period of record. Those days that returned positive values (i.e. runoff occurred) were then summed to
return the total amount of runoff (R) produced within the watershed area. The equation for calculating
runoff is as follows:
Q= (P24 —0.2S)2
(P24 + 0.8S)
S = (1000 )_ 10
CN
Where P24 is the maximum rainfall occurring in a 24 -hour period (over the period of record), CN is
the composite curve number, and S is the storage capacity of the soil. A composite curve was
calculated by subdividing the watershed with respect to soil hydrologic group and land use, then
determining the appropriate curve number for each subdivision using tables published by the USDA
(1986). The area and curve number were multiplied, summed and divided by the total watershed area
to calculate the composite curve number as described below.
CN —_ � (CN * SubdividedArea)
(WatershedArea)
By this method, the composite curve number for the proposed wetland restoration/enhancement site
was 81.1.
P4
A 24 -hour rainfall record was determined using precipitation data. The maximum
climatological -day precipitation over the 27 -year period of record, excluding tropical storms,
occurred on June 6, 1994, with 6.6 inches of rainfall. No rainfall was recorded on June 5 or
June 7, 1994 and therefore the maximum adjacent- climatological -day precipitation is 6.6
inches.
P24 = (max. climatological -day P) + .5(max. adjacent- climatological -day P)
P24 = (6.6 in) + 0.5(0.0 in)
P24 = 6.6 in

Runoff
Q= (P24 — 0.25)2
(P24 + 0.85)
S = (1000 1_ 10
CN J
Q = 2.33
Using this value, the runoff produced by each rain event was calculated by subtracting the
minimum 24 -hour rainfall amount needed to produce runoff (Q) from the amount of
precipitation (P) on each day. Those events that return positive values (i.e. runoff occurred)
are then summed to return the amount of runoff (R) produced by each acre in the watershed.
These values are then averaged by month for the entire period to give the average monthly
runoff for the watershed. Once runoff values were calculated for the drainage area, it was
necessary to adjust these values to reflect the amount of water seen on the site as follows:
R = (Watershed Runofji * (Watershed Area) / (Site Area)
Stream baseflow is estimated to be between 0.5 and 1.25 cubic feet per second during the non-
growing season months. Baseflow may drop to zero during drier growing season months. The
combination of baseflow, storm runoff, and groundwater inflow from the adjacent terrace will provide
sufficient hydrology to restore the appropriate (and historically present) cypress -gum slough habitats
with adjacent bottomland hardwoods.
The proposed wetland restoration/enhancement area is generally mapped as Coxville, Pantego, and
Weston soils. All three mapping units are poorly drained, found on flats and depressions, and have
moderate to slow permeability. Seasonal high water tables range from 0 to 12 inches below the
surface, and runoff is negligible. Infiltration into the soil on the site was based upon the permeability
range (0.0 to 0.05 in/hr) indicated for hydrologic soil group D soils (USDA 1986). During months
where the seasonal high water table is within 12 inches, the infiltration is assumed to be negligible.

Arrington Bridge III Mitigation Plan 25 February 2015

8.3.2 Mitigation Summary
The Arrington Bridge III Wetland Mitigation Project involves the restoration and enhancement of
41.6 acres of wetlands that have been disturbed by historic mining, agricultural activities, and active
cattle grazing. The conceptual design presents 29.08 acres of wetland restoration and 11.87 acres of
wetland enhancement, generating 32.22 Wetland Mitigation Units (WMU's). Wetland Restoration
activities will include: plugging the main channelized drainage feature and side ditches, removing fill,
and regrading the area to reconstruct historical contours. A credit ratio of 3:1 is proposed for higher -
uplift wetland enhancement areas, including a drained area of planted cypress, an excavated pond,
and forested areas along the north side of the main ditch. A ratio of 5:1 is proposed for the lower -
uplift wetland enhancement areas, which are primarily along the north side of the main ditch. Both
levels of Wetland Enhancement will be treated by enhancing the hydrology. This will be
accomplished by filling the ditches across the site to raise the water table and restore a more natural
drainage pattern. Additionally, the pond will be backfilled with the adjacent spoil pile and planted
with trees and a permanent seed mix. Although this area will be restored to a wetland, it will receive
Enhancement credits at a ratio of 3:1 because the pond is already a jurisdictional feature.
The Wetland Restoration/Enhancement areas will be planted in two zones. Zone 1 will include the
wetter, lower -lying areas, and will be restored to a cypress -gum swamp target community, as
described in Schafale and Weakley. Zone 2 will include areas expected to be only intermittently
inundated, and will be restored to a Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwoods target community, as
described in Schafale and Weakley. The selection of plant species is based on what was observed at
the reference wetland, species present in the forest surrounding the restoration site, and what is
typically native to the area.
The proposed project will be the third of three phases. The Arrington Bridge I & II mitigation sites
are located on the north side of Arrington Bridge Road; Arrington Bridge I is on the east side of John
Road, and Arrington Bridge II is on the west side of John Road. These two buffer and nutrient
mitigation sites are hydrologically connected to the Arrington Bridge III site. The three Arrington
Bridge sites complement each other, and, together, will confer a greater water quality benefit to the
Neuse River than any one of the sites alone.
Arrington Bridge III Mitigation Plan 26 February 2015

9 MAINTENANCE PLAN
The site will be monitored on a regular basis and a physical inspection will be conducted a minimum
of twice 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:
Table 12. Maintenance Plan
Component/Feature
Maintenance through project close -out
Routine wetland maintenance and repair activities may include
securing of loose coir matting and supplemental installations of live
Wetland
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 supplemental planting, pruning,
Vegetation
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.
Site Boundary
Boundaries may be identified by fence, marker, 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.
Arrington Bridge III Mitigation Plan 27 February 2015

10 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
The success criteria for the Arrington Bridge III Site will follow accepted and approved success
criteria presented in the North Carolina Wetland Mitigation Guidelines and subsequent agency
guidance. Specific success criteria components are presented below.
10.1 Wetland Restoration Success Criteria
10.1.1 Wetland Hydrology Criteria
The Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS) has a current WETS table for Wayne County
upon which to base a normal rainfall amount and average growing season. The closest comparable
data station was determined to be WETS station NC713 Goldsboro S Johnson AFB. This station is
located at the Seymour Johnson Air Force Base approximately 1.5 miles east of the proposed
mitigation site. The growing season for Wayne County is 262 days long, extending from March 4 to
November 21, and is based on a daily minimum temperature greater than 28 degrees Fahrenheit
occurring in five of ten years.
Because of the surface roughing and shallow depressions, a range of hydroperiods and inundation is
expected. The hydrology success criterion for the site is to restore the water table at the site so that it
will remain continuously within 12 inches of the soil surface for at least nine percent of the growing
season (approximately 23 days) at each groundwater gauge location, within the bottomland hardwood
forest areas, during normal rainfall years. Surface hydrology will also be monitored to document
inundation throughout the wetland slough zones. Surface hydrology success criterion within the
wetland slough zones will be to remain inundated for at least 36 continuous days throughout the
entire calendar year. Inundation will be measured at points of outflow from the slough areas.
Gauge data will be compared to reference wetland well data in growing seasons with less than normal
rainfall. In periods of low rainfall, if a restoration gauge hydroperiod exceeds the reference gauge
hydroperiod, and both exceed five percent of the growing season, then the gauge will be deemed
successful. If a gauge location fails to meet these success criteria in the seven year monitoring period,
then monitoring may be extended, remedial actions may be undertaken, or the limits of wetland
restoration will be determined.
10.2 Vegetation Success Criteria
Specific and measurable success criteria for plant density within the wetland areas on the site will
follow IRT Guidance. Vegetation monitoring plots will be a minimum of 0.02 acres in size, and cover
a minimum of two percent of the planted area. Vegetation monitoring will occur annually in the fall
of each year. The interim measures of vegetative success for the site will vary based on the planting
zones outlined in the mitigation plan. The success criteria for Zone 1, Cypress -Gym Swamp, will be
the survival of at least 210 planted three -year old trees per acre at the end of Year 3, 170 five -year old
trees at the end of Year 5, and the final vegetative success criteria will be 140 trees per acre at the end
of Year 7. The success criteria for Zone 2, Bottomland Hardwood Forest, will be the survival of at
least 320 planted three -year old trees per acre at the end of Year 3, 260 five -year old trees at the end
of Year 5, and the final vegetative success criteria will be 210 trees per acre at the end of Year 7.
10.3 Scheduling /Reporting
A mitigation plan and as -built drawings documenting restoration activities will be developed within
60 days of the planting completion on the mitigation site. The report will include all information
required by IRT mitigation plan guidelines, including elevations, photographs and sampling plot
locations, gauge locations, and a description of initial species composition by community type. The
Arrington Bridge III Mitigation Plan 28 February 2015

report will also include a list of the species planted and the associated densities. Baseline vegetation
monitoring will include species, height, date of planting, and grid location of each stem. The baseline
report will follow USACE guidelines.
The monitoring program will be implemented to document system development and progress toward
achieving the success criteria. The restored stream morphology will be assessed to determine the
success of the mitigation. The monitoring program will be undertaken for seven years or until the
final success criteria are achieved, whichever is longer.
Monitoring reports will be prepared in the fall years 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 of monitoring and submitted to
the IRT. The monitoring reports will include all information, and be in the format required by
USAGE.
Arrington Bridge III Mitigation Plan 29 February 2015

11 MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Annual monitoring data will be reported using the IRT monitoring template. The monitoring report
shall provide a project data chronology that will facilitate an understanding of project status and
trends, research purposes, and assist in decision making regarding project close -out. The success
criteria for the Arrington Bridge III site will follow current accepted and approved success criteria
presented in the North Carolina Wetland Mitigation Guidelines, and subsequent agency guidance.
Specific success criteria components are presented in Table 13. Monitoring reports will be prepared
annually and submitted to the IRT.

11.1 Visual Monitoring
Visual monitoring of all mitigation areas will be conducted a minimum of twice per monitoring year
by qualified individuals. The visual assessments will include vegetation density, vigor, invasive
species, and easement encroachments. Digital images will be taken at fixed representative locations to
record each monitoring event, as well as any noted problem areas or areas of concern. Results of
visual monitoring will be presented in a plan view exhibit with a brief description of problem areas
and digital images. Photographs will be used to subjectively evaluate surface hydrology, success of
vegetation, and effectiveness of erosion control measures. A series of photos over time should
indicate successional maturation of vegetation.
11.2 Vegetative Success Criteria
Vegetation monitoring plots will be a minimum of 0.02 acres in size, and cover a minimum of two
percent of the planted area. The following data will be recorded for all trees in the plots: species,
height, planting date (or volunteer), and grid location. Monitoring will occur each year during the
monitoring period. Because of the variability of site conditions between the two planting zones, two
levels of success criteria are proposed.
Due to the lower stem density and basal area found in reference cypress -gum systems the interim
measures of vegetative success for the Zone 1 areas (Cypress -Gum Swamp) will be the survival of at
least 210 planted three -year old trees per acre at the end of Year 3 and 170 five -year old trees per acre
Arrington Bridge III Mitigation Plan 30 February 2015

at the end of Year 5. The final vegetative success criteria for Zone 1 will be the survival of 140 trees
per acre at the end of Year 7 of the monitoring period. The interim measures of vegetative success
for the Zone 2 areas (Bottomland Harwood Forest) in the site will be the survival of at least 320
planted three -year old trees per acre at the end of Year 3 and 260 five -year old trees per acre at the
end of Year 5. The final vegetative success criteria for Zone 2 will be the survival of 210 trees per
acre at the end of Year 7 of the monitoring period. Survival will be determined at the plot level, not
averaged at the site level. In addition, planted vegetation should show a general trend toward
successful establishment of the target communities with vigor and height growth. Specific height
criteria are not specified due to the variability of species and site conditions.
Invasive and noxious species will be monitored and controlled so that none become dominant or alter
the desired community structure of the site. If necessary, EBX will develop a species - specific control
plan.
11.3 Adaptive Management
The Mitigation Plan will include a detailed adaptive management plan that will address how potential
problems are resolved. In the event that the site, or a specific component of the site, fails to achieve
the defined success criteria, EBX will develop necessary adaptive management plans and/or
implement appropriate remedial actions for the site in coordination with the IRT. Remedial action
required will be designed to achieve the success criteria specified previously, and will include
identification of the causes of failure, remedial design approach, work schedule, and monitoring
criteria that will take into account physical and climatic conditions. If tree mortality affects 40 percent
or greater of the canopy in a restoration area, then a remedial /supplemental planting plan will be
developed and implemented for the affected area(s).
12 LONG -TERM MANAGEMENT PLAN
EBX acting as the Bank Sponsor, will establish a Conservation Easement, and will monitor the Site
for a minimum of seven years. This Mitigation Plan provides detailed information regarding bank
operation, including long term management and annual monitoring activities, for review and approval
by the IRT. Upon approval of the Site by the IRT, the site will be transferred to a responsible third
party. The third parry shall be responsible for periodic inspection of the site to ensure that restrictions
required in the Conservation Easement or the deed restriction document(s) are upheld. Endowment
funds required to uphold easement and deed restrictions shall be negotiated prior to site transfer to the
responsible party.
The Bank Sponsor will ensure that the Conservation Easement will allow for the implementation of
an initial monitoring phase, which will be developed during the design phase and conducted by the
Bank Sponsor. The Conservation Easement will allow for yearly monitoring and, if necessary,
maintenance of the Site during the initial monitoring phase. These activities will be conducted in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Neu -Con Wetland and Stream Umbrella Mitigation
Bank made and entered into by EBX, USACE, and NC DWR..
Arrington Bridge III Mitigation Plan 31 February 2015

13 ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT PLAN
Upon completion of site construction, EBX 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 that the site's
ability to achieve site performance standards are jeopardized, EBX will notify the USACE of the need
to develop a Plan of Corrective Action. Once the Corrective Action Plan is prepared and finalized
EBX will:
1. Notify the 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.
Arrington Bridge III Mitigation Plan 32 February 2015

14 FINANCIAL ASSURANCES
The Sponsor shall provide financial assurances in the form of a Performance Bond to the IRT
sufficient to assure completion of all mitigation work, required reporting and monitoring, and any
remedial work required. Financial assurances shall be payable at the direction of the USACE to his
designee or to a standby trust. Financial assurances structured to provide funds to the USACE in the
event of default by the Bank Sponsor are not acceptable. A financial assurance must be in the form
that ensures that the USACE receives notification at least 120 days in advance of any termination or
revocation.

federal, state or local laws, regulations and permits that may apply to the exercise of the
Reserved Rights.
F. Extinguishment. In the event that changed conditions render impossible the
continued use of the Property for the conservation purposes, this Conservation Easement

of such taking to recover the full value of the taking, and all incidental and direct
damages due to the taking.
H. Proceeds. This Conservation Easement constitutes a real property interest
immediately vested in Grantee. In the event that all or a portion of this Property is sold,
exchanged, or involuntarily converted following an extinguishment or the exercise of
eminent domain, Grantee shall be entitled to the fair market value of this Conservation

Easement. The parties stipulate that the fair market value of this Conservation Easement
shall be determined by multiplying the fair market value of the Property unencumbered
by this Conservation Easement (minus any increase in value after the date of this grant
attributable to improvements) by the ratio of the value of this easement at the time of this
grant to the value of the Property (without deduction for the value of this Conservation
Easement) at the time of this grant. The values at the time of this grant shall be the values
used, or which would have been used, to calculate a deduction for federal income tax
purposes, pursuant to Section 170(h) of the Internal Revenue Code (whether eligible or
ineligible for such a deduction). Grantee shall use its share of the proceeds in a manner
consistent with the purposes of this Conservation Easement.

J. Failure of Grantee. If at any time Grantee is unable or fails to enforce this
Conservation Easement, or if Grantee ceases to be a qualified grantee, and if within a
reasonable period of time after the occurrence of one of these events Grantee fails to
make an assignment pursuant to this Conservation Easement, then the Grantee's interest
shall become vested in another qualified grantee in accordance with an appropriate
proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction.
K. Amendment. This Conservation Easement may be amended, but only in a
writing signed by all parties hereto, and provided such amendment does not affect the
qualification of this Conservation Easement or the status of the Grantee under any
applicable laws, and is consistent with the conservation purposes of this grant.
L. [For use if there is a document describing the current condition of the
property. The language provided is applicable if there is a mitigation plan that
accurately describes the current condition and uses of the property. If there is not such a
plan, another document we agree is accurate and can be identified and is in our files can

1.0 Introduction
1.1 Project Description
The Arrington Bridge III Wetland Site is located in Wayne County approximately three miles
southwest of downtown Goldsboro, NC (Figure 1). The site is located on approximately 57 -acre
site three miles southwest of Goldsboro in western Wayne County, NC. Access is off of
Arrington Bridge Road (SR 1915).
The project site is located along the floodplain of the Neuse River adjacent to an active sand
mine. The site land use is currently agricultural livestock grazing and forested areas. The historic
land use in the project vicinity is sand and gravel mining with current conditions variously
impacted from these activities.
The project extends southeastward from the access road along the edge of the floodplain and toe
of slope. A small tributary enters the nearly level floodplain from the north. A drainage ditch runs
southeasterly the length of the site to provide drainage with numerous small ditches to support
existing agricultural activities. The ditch flows into the Neuse River. The north side of the ditch is
forested and to the south is actively grazed. The soils in the project area were evaluated for the
presence of hydric soil, hydric soil indicators, and restoration potential.
1.2 General Watershed Information
The site is located on a large, nearly level floodplain along the north side of a bend in the Neuse
River between the levee and toe slope of the terrace in a normal backwater landscape. The project
is in hydrologic unit 03020201 of the Neuse River Basin.
1.3 Methodology
A series of soil borings were performed to described and verify the presence of hydric soil and
determine the extent along the floodplain. These soil borings document the presence of hydric
soil indicators within 12 inches of the soil surface where present within the project area. Where
disturbance was noted, hydric characteristics below 12 inches depth were also evaluated. The
boring observations do not contain adequate detail to classify these soils.
Hydric soil indicators develop over time under saturated conditions. The characteristic indicators
are formed in an anaerobic environment predominantly by accumulation or loss of iron,
manganese, sulfur, or carbon compounds (organic matter). Many of these indicators remain long
after saturated conditions have been removed by man -made alterations. Modifications at this site
include clearing of natural vegetation, mining (excavation and filling), and ditching.
Hydric soils are therefore typically identified by color and spatial patterns created by the chemical
changes formed under past anaerobic conditions, even where these conditions currently no longer
exist due to site modifications. Indicators of hydric soil typically are mostly found within the
upper 12 inches of the soil and consist of dark or gray colors and redoximorphic spatial patterns.
Dark colors indicate accumulation of organic matter, gray colors indicate migration or depletion
of minerals, and bright colors indicate concentration of minerals. Hydric soils have soil matrix
colors with a chroma 2 or less within the top 12 inches and may contain various color mottles and
usually occupy the lowest part of the landscape. The presence of Hydric Indicators indicates a soil
has undergone saturated conditions in the past, but does not verify current conditions of
saturation.

Arrington Bride III Mitigation Project
2015 Hydric Soil Assessment
January, 2015
Soil profiles across the study area were evaluated for morphologic characteristics and divided into
soils having hydric indicators within 12 inches and soils lacking hydric indicators. Additionally,
areas appearing to have current wetland hydrology and obvious disturbed profiles were identified.
Using criteria based on "Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States" (USDA, NRCS,
2010, Version 7.0), approximately 41.3 acres were identified that show hydric characteristics
within 12 inches, excluding Jurisdictional Wetlands. Indicators valid for the Regional Supplement
to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region
(Version 2.0) were used. Additionally, areas having jurisdictional hydrology were also identified.
The project is located in Land Resource Region (LLR) P (Inner Coastal Plain) and in Major Land
Resource Area (MLRA) 133A (Southern Coastal Plain)
2.0 Site Soils
2.1 NRCS Soil Survey
General Soil Description
The soils of Wayne County are acid and strongly leached and are mostly low to very low in
natural fertility. They require applications of lime. Fertilizer is also needed to increase the content
of calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, and potassium. The organic- matter content of the soils is
mostly low to very low except for some very wet soils in which water has retarded oxidation. The
site is shown to straddle two Soil Associations: the Johnston - Chewacla- Kinston Association and
the Wickham -Johns Association.
The Johnston - Chewacla- Kinston Association is found along major streams such as the Neuse
River. The major soils found in this Association are Chewacla, Johnston, and Kinston. They are
naturally somewhat poorly to very poorly drained. Wetness is a severe limitation for these soils
and they are subject to very frequent floods. The Wickham -Johns Association is found on fairly
broad, long, low ridges and depressions on stream terraces. It is on the terrace along the Neuse
and Little Rivers. The major soils are Wickham and Johns. The site appears more aptly described
by the Johnston - Chewacla- Kinston Association.
Site Mapped Soil Series
The Wayne County Soil Survey shows eight mapping units across the project site. Map units
include eight soil series and borrow pits (Figure 2). The upland soils found in this area of the
county formed in sandy sediments from marine and fluviomarine deposits or loamy alluvium. The
upland soils at this site are on a river terrace above the active floodplain. The soil series found on
the site are described below and summarized in Table 3.

Soil Series Descriptions
The Wayne County Soil Survey shows eight soil series and borrow pits across the project site.
The upland soils found in this area of the county formed in sandy sediments from marine and
fluviomarine deposits or loamy alluvium.
Coxville loam (Co). This is a poorly drained soil found across flats, Carolina bays, and
depressions. They have moderately slow permeability and runoff is negligible. The seasonal high
water table ranges from 0 to 12 inches below the surface. It has clayey subsoil. Major uses are
forest, pasture and cropland. This soil is considered hydric when undrained by the NRCS.
Johns sandy loam. This is a somewhat poorly to moderately well drained soil found on stream
terraces. They have moderate permeability and runoff is negligible to low. The seasonal high
water table ranges from 18 to 36 inches below the surface. It typically has clayey subsoil. This
soil unit is typically cultivated or forested. This soil is considered to have hydric inclusions by the
NRCS.
Kalmia loamy sand, 2 to 6 percent slopes. This is a well drained soil found on stream terraces.
It has moderate permeability and runoff is negligible to low. The seasonal high water table ranges
from 42 to 72 inches below the surface. It has clayey subsoil. This soil unit is typically cultivated
or forested. This soil is considered to have hydric inclusions by the NRCS.
Lakeland sand. This is a moderately excessively drained soil found on broad to narrow uplands.
The seasonal high water table is greater than 80 inches below the surface. It has typically has sand
subsoil to greater than 80 inches. It has rapid to very rapid permeability and runoff is slow. Uses
are for pasture and cropland. This soil is considered to have hydric inclusions by the NRCS.
Pantego loam. This is a very poorly drained soil found on nearly level and slightly depressional
areas. This soil is very poorly drained. It has very slow runoff, has moderate permeability, and is
often ponded. The seasonal high water table ranges from 0 to 12 inches below the surface. It has
clayey subsoil. Major uses are forest with limited pasture and cropland. This soil is considered
hydric when undrained by the NRCS.
Rimini sand. This is a moderately excessively drained soil found on rims around "Carolina
Bays" and on broad smooth divides in the Coastal Plain. The seasonal high water table is greater
than 80 inches below the surface. It has typically has sand subsoil to greater than 80 inches. It has
rapid to very rapid permeability and runoff is slow. This soil is mostly forested. This soil is
considered to have hydric inclusions by the NRCS.

Weston loamy sand. This is a poorly drained soil found across flats, Carolina bays, and
depressions. It has moderately slow permeability and runoff is very slow. The seasonal high water
table ranges from 0 to 12 inches below the surface. It often has clayey subsoil. This soil is mostly
forested with limited use as cropland. This soil is considered hydric when undrained by the
NRCS.
Wickham loamy sand. This is a well drained soil found on stream terraces. It has moderate
permeability and runoff is medium to rapid. The seasonal high water table is greater than 80
inches below the surface. It sometimes has clayey subsoil. This soil unit is typically cultivated or
forested. This series has two slope phases (0 to 2 percent and 2 to 6 percent slope) and one eroded
phase. This soil is considered to have hydric inclusions by the NRCS.
Borrow Pits. This is a mapping unit indicating the area has significant disturbance in the past due
to soil removal and earth work. The borrow pits located near the project area most likely were
mined for sand or gravel, leaving non -sand overburden distributed unevenly across the area. The
material removal results in exposure of silty or clayey subsoils that tend to have high compaction,
low organic matter, and low fertility. The natural establishment of vegetation is slow and uneven.
Often areas of excavation are below the groundwater and result in ponded areas of varying depth.
2.2 On -Site Soil Investigation
This report describes soils having hydric soil indicators located on a historic backwater landscape
with most lacking jurisdictional hydrology due to drainage modifications. The soils lack
hydrology for jurisdictional wetland primarily due to ditching and contour modification related to
the mining operations. Approximately 80 auger borings were evaluated across the proposed site
and the adjoining non - hydric areas and 36 representative profiles were recorded (Appendix) by
George Lankford, a licensed soil scientist (Figure 3). Depth to hydric criteria was recorded and
typical soil profiles were documented.
Soils having hydric indicators present are located in areas proposed for wetland restoration and
enhancement. The enhancement areas are located within the forested community northeast of the
ditch and the restoration area is located southwest of the ditch in the pasture. Jurisdictional
wetlands appear to be present in the enhancement area to the northeast of the site. This wetland
appears to have hydrology due to slope seepage, but is impacted by drainage from the ditch. The
wetland soils are variable with the strongest indicators adjacent to the slope. The ditch is currently
well maintained along the edge of the pasture. Numerous small feeder ditches exist and the
topography has likely been surface contoured in many places to provide as much drainage as
possible.
The site evaluation identified four distinct soil areas; 1) having hydric indicators without wetland
hydrology, 2) disturbed soils having hydric indicators and lacking wetland hydrology 3) having
hydric indicators and appear to have wetland hydrology, and 4) lack both hydric indicators and
hydrology (Figure 3). Small inclusions of disturbed soil were observed throughout the site, but
were not significant and not identified separately. This total area within the easement is
approximately 57 acres.
Hydric indicators without wetland hydrology
The areas have hydric indicators without wetland hydrology comprise the majority of the site.
This centrally located area is visually lower and generally parallels the toe slope. Soils tended
toward thicker darker surfaces. Based upon the present soils, it is likely that ponding or long term
saturation existed to allow darker soil to form. Textures consist largely of silty or clayey

mineralogy. Most of this area is in pasture and currently grazed with a small portion forested.
This area is approximately 16.6 acres.
Disturbed soils having hydric indicators and lacking wetland hydrology
The areas of disturbed soils having hydric indicators are likely due to historic mining activities.
These include large areas in a lower landscape position as well as some of the adjacent higher
areas. The area identified is also located adjacent to visible borrow pits. The soils in these areas
have variable textures that are exhibiting hydric indicators. The surface textures are often clayey
and subsoils are usually heavier clays exhibiting depleted matrices and some redoximorphic
concentrations beginning to accumulate. The lowest areas have redoximorphic concentrations
beginning to form in the upper horizons. Formation of these indicators likely occurred during
extended ponding due to beaver activity observed in summer of 2013. The ponding was removed
after elimination of the beaver activity. All of this area is in pasture and currently grazed. This
area is approximately 12.6 acres.
Hydric indicators and appear to have wetland hydrology
There are areas with hydric indicators that appear to have wetland hydrology. They are also in the
lower landscape positions paralleling and adjacent to the toe slope. Located on the north side of
the ditch these areas are forested. Soils are very dark brown to black with typically a higher
organic content. These soils have a loamy surface underlain by silty or clayey subsoils. This area
is approximately 12.1 acres.
Lack both hydric indicators and hydrology
The areas lacking hydric indicators and hydrology surround the previous areas and are visually
higher, most often appearing as low linear ridges. The soils are more brown with a sandy textured
surface underlain by clayey or sandy subsoils. This area is approximately 16.1 acres.
Generally, soils in the proposed wetland restoration areas typically exhibited a dark surface
having a loamy or silty texture. Clayey or silty subsoils are present within 12 inches. In the
subsoil, mottles of redoximorphic concentrations along pore linings are present. The most
common hydric indicators observed were At I (Depleted Below Dark Surface), Al2 (Thick Dark
Surface), F3 (Depleted Matrix), and. F6 -Redox Dark Surface. Other indicators observed include
A7 (5 cm Mucky Mineral), and S7 (Dark Surface). The surrounding upland areas typically have a
brown loamy surface underlain by clayey or silty clay soils having gray and yellowish brown
mottles. It appears that in both the proposed wetland areas and the adjacent upland areas, the
clayey layers found in the subsoil restricts vertical water movement in the soil. Combined the
nearly level topography this creates conditions that would allow a perched water table in the
lower elevations occupied by soil having hydric indicators. Six representative soil profiles having
hydric indicators are shown in Table 1 below.

3.0 Conclusion
Hydric soils were located in three areas on the Arrington Bridge III project. These areas occur
along the floodplain of the Neuse River and have been impacted by the mining activities,
agricultural, and ditching. A drainage ditch runs southeasterly the length of the site to provide
drainage with numerous small ditches to support on -going agricultural activities. The ditch flows
into the Neuse River. The north side of the ditch is forested and to the south is actively grazed.
The site evaluation identified four distinct soil areas; 1) having hydric indicators without wetland
hydrology, 2) disturbed soils having hydric indicators and lacking wetland hydrology 3) having
hydric indicators and appear to have wetland hydrology, and 4) lack both hydric indicators and
hydrology. Combined the nearly level topography this creates conditions that would allow a

Based upon field observation, these areas have significantly altered hydrology due to the drainage
modifications. These modifications have increased the rate of surface runoff and lowered the
groundwater elevation throughout the area containing hydric soil on the right bank of the channel.
Modifications observed include surface contouring, ditching, and excavation/fill.

Subject: Project Scoping for Arrington Bridge Wetland Mitigation Project in Wayne County.
Dear Mr. Benjamin,
The Arrington Bridge site has been identified by Environmental Banc & Exchange, LLC to provide
compensatory mitigation for unavoidable wetland impacts through the EBX Neu -Con Umbrella
Mitigation Bank The proposed project is the third of three phases. The proposed project involves the
restoration and enhancement of 41.6 acres of wetlands that have been disturbed by historic mining,
agricultural activities, and active cattle grazing. The conceptual design presents 29.0 acres of wetland
restoration and 12.6 acres of wetland enhancement, generating 32.3 Wetland Mitigation Units
(WMU).
The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) database (http: / /www.fws.gov /endangered /) lists one
endangered species for Wayne County, North Carolina: Red - cockaded woodpecker (Picoides
borealis). We have determined that no suitable habitat for the listed 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 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 [e-mail] with any
questions that you may have concerning the extent of site disturbance associated with this project.
Sincerely,

Re: Arrington Bridge Wetland Mitigation- Wayne County, NC
Dear Mr. Ingram:
This letter is to inform you that a list of all federally - protected endangered and threatened species
with known occurrences in North Carolina is now available on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service's (Service) web page at http: / /www.fws.gov /raleigh. Therefore, if you have projects that
occur within the Raleigh Field Office's area of responsibility (see attached'county list), you no
longer need to contact the Raleigh Field.Office for a list of.iederally- protected species.
Our web page contains a complete and frequently updated list of all endangered and threatened
species protected by the provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)(Act), and a list of federal species of concern[ that are known to occur in
each county in North Carolina.
Section 7 of the Act requires that all federal agencies (or their designated non - federal
representative), in consultation with the Service, insure that any action federally authorized,
funded, or carried out by such agencies is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any
federally - listed endangered or threatened species. A biological assessment or evaluation may be
prepared to fulfill that requirement and in determining whether additional consultation with the
Service is necessary. In addition to the federally - protected species list, information on the
species' life histories and habitats and information on completing a biological assessment or
evaluation and can be found on our web page at http: / /www.fws.gov /raleigh. Please check the
web site often for updated information or changes.
[ The term "federal species of concern" refers to those species which the Service believes might be in need of
concentrated conservation actions. Federal species of concern receive no legal protection and their designation does
not necessarily imply that the species will eventually be proposed for listing as a federally endangered or threatened
species. However, we recommend that all practicable measures be taken to avoid or minimize adverse impacts to
federal species of concern.

If your project contains suitable habitat for any of the federally- listed species known to be
present within the county where your project occurs, the proposed action has the potential to
adversely affect those species. As such, we recommend that surveys be conducted to determine
the species' presence or absence within the project area. The use of North Carolina Natural
Heritage program data .should not be substituted for actual field surveys.
If you determine that the proposed action may affect (i.e., likely to adversely affect or not likely
to adversely affect) a federally - protected species, you should notify this office with your
determination, the results of your surveys, survey methodologies, and an analysis of the effects
of the action on listed species, including consideration of direct, indirect, and cumulative effects,
before conducting any activities that might affect the species. If you determine that the proposed
action will have no effect (i.e., no beneficial or adverse, direct or indirect effect) on federally
listed species, then you are not required to contact our office for concurrence (unless an
Environmental Impact Statement is prepared). However, you should maintain a complete record
of the assessment, including steps leading to your determination of effect, the qualified personnel
conducting the assessment, habitat conditions, site photographs, and any other related articles.
With regard to the above - referenced project, we offer the following remarks. Our comments are
submitted pursuant to, and in accordance with, provisions of the Endangered Species Act.
Based on the information provided and other information available, it appears that the proposed
action is not likely to adversely affect any federally - listed endangered or threatened species, their
formally designated critical habitat, or species currently proposed for listing under the Act at
these sites. We believe that the requirements of section 7(a)(2) of the Act have been satisfied for
your project. Please remember that obligations under section 7 consultation must be
reconsidered if (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect
listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered; (2) this action is
subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review; or, (3) a new species
is listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected by the identified action.
However, the Service is concerned about the potential impacts the proposed action might have
on aquatic species. Aquatic resources are highly susceptible to sedimentation. Therefore, we
recommend that all practicable measures be taken to avoid adverse impacts to aquatic species,
including implementing directional boring methods and stringent sediment and erosion control
measures. An erosion and sedimentation control plan should be submitted to and approved by
the North Carolina Division of Land Resources, Land Quality Section prior to construction.
Erosion and sedimentation controls should be installed and maintained between the construction
site and any nearby down - gradient surface waters. In addition, we recommend maintaining
natural, vegetated buffers on all streams and creeks adjacent to the project site.
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has developed a Guidance Memorandum (a
copy can be found on our website at (http: / /www.fws.gov /raleigh) to address and mitigate
secondary and cumulative impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources and water quality.
We recommend that you consider this document in the development of your projects and in
completing an initiation package for consultation (if necessary).
2

We hope you find our web page useful and informative and that following the process described
above will reduce the time required, and eliminate the need, for general correspondence for
species' lists. If you have any questions or comments, please contact Emily Wells of this office
at (919) 856 -4520 ext. 25.

Pe Benjamin

Subject: Environmental Review for Arrington Bridge III Wetland Mitigation Project in Wayne County.
Dear Ms. Allison Weakley,
The Arrington Bridge III Site has been identified by Environmental Banc & Exchange, LLC to provide
compensatory mitigation for unavoidable wetland impacts through the EBX Neu -Con Umbrella Mitigation Bank.
The proposed project is the third of three phases. The proposed project involves the restoration and
enhancement of 41.6 acres of wetlands that have been disturbed by historic mining, agricultural activities, and
active cattle grazing. One unnamed tributary ditch that traverses the site exhibits diminished habitat value as a
result of past and on -going agricultural activities.
WK Dickson requests review and comment on any possible issues that might emerge with respect to endangered,
threatened, significantly rare, or of special concern species associated with a potential wetland mitigation project
on the Arrington Bridge III site (a vicinity and USGS site map with approximate limits of conservation easement is
attached).
A review of the Natural Heritage Program (NHP) website ( http: / /portal.ncdenr.org/web /nhp /database - search;
accessed December 16, 2014) and GIS dataset, were performed as part of the site due diligence evaluation.
According to this website, there are 13 potentially occurring species located within the Southeast and Southwest
Goldsboro USGS Quadrangles with a state status of endangered, threatened, significantly rare, or of special
concern. No listed species or element of occurrences (EO) have been observed within the project area 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 historic mining.
We ask that you review and comment on any possible issues that might emerge with respect to natural heritage
occurrences or other trust resources from the construction of a wetland restoration project on the subject
property. 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 [e-mail] with any questions
that you may have concerning the extent of site disturbance associated with this project.

Dear Mr. Ingram:
Donald R. van der Vaart

Thank you for the opportunity to provide information from the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program
(NCNHP) database for the proposed project referenced above. The NCNHP database does not show any
records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, or conservation /managed areas
within the proposed project area as depicted in the maps submitted with your request for information.

The occurrence records for Rafinesque's Big -eared Bat, Southern Hognose Snake and Pine Barrens
Treefrog have very low accuracy due to the lack of site - specific locational information associated with
these records, but Rafinesque's Big -eared Bat has been documented in Wayne County, and Southern
Hognose Snake and Pine Barrens Treefrog have been documented in the Goldsboro area. The
occurrence of Least Bittern is located ca. 0.25 miles northeast of the proposed project area, in the
Arrington Bridge II Mitigation Site.
In addition, the NCNHP database shows that the Seymour Johnson Air Force Base is located just east of
the project area, and a property considered to be Wayne County open space is located ca. 0.6 miles
southwest of the project area.

Please note that although the NCNHP database may not show records for rare species within the
proposed project area, it does not necessarily mean that they are not present; it may simply mean that
the area has not been surveyed. Occurrences of rare species documented within one mile of the
proposed project area, especially occurrences in close proximity to a project area, increase the
likelihood that these species may be present within the project area if suitable habitat exists. The use of
Natural Heritage Program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys if needed, particularly if
the project area contains suitable habitat for rare species.

Norton Webster, EBX
Ely Perry, EBX

Todd Tugwell, USACE
Tyler Crumbley, USACE
Bill Biddlecome, USACE
Emily Greer, USACE
Summary by Mitigation Component:
Wetland Preservation Area at Upper End of Project
• Todd Tugwell expressed concern that this area is not a high quality wetland, and would not
be a good candidate for preservation. It is also not a good preservation area because it is

too small and disconnected from other preservation areas. He suggested that preservation
could be approved at a lower ratio, such as 10:1.
• Mr. Tugwell suggested that this area could benefit from Enhancement. Hydrology could be
improved by filling the ditch /swale. Mr. Tugwell stressed that EBX would need to be able to
demonstrate functional uplift if Enhancement is chosen for this area.
Pond Behind Church (Upper End of Project)
• Mr. Tugwell and other IRT members suggested that this pond could be included with the
adjacent enhancement areas. Mr. Tugwell said that this area is supposed to be a wetland,
and, ideally, he would like to see it restored, however it would be considered enhancement
since it is already a jurisdictional feature.
• Tyler Crumbley stressed that if the pond is going to be converted, EBX must explicitly
describe the conversion in the project narrative.
• IRT members suggested that another option is to leave the pond inside the easement, but
not claim credit for it.
Stream Enhancement
• Mr. Tugwell and Emily Greer stated that this channel is a ditch - tributary, not a functioning
stream, and, therefore, is not a good mitigation project for offsetting stream impacts.
• Mr. Tugwell stated that the riparian buffer enhancement would provide a nutrient offset
benefit, and questioned whether any additional benefit would be gained through stream
enhancement.
• Mr. Tugwell questioned whether this drainage feature would be able to access its floodplain
in a storm event.
Wetland Enhancement — Planted Cypress Area
• Mr. Tugwell discussed treating this area with Rehabilitation rather than Enhancement
because it is likely to be at least a medium - quality wetland by the NCWAM methodology,
and the only feature that would need to be changed is to restore hydrology.
• IRT members ultimately agreed that Enhancement was likely most appropriate due to the
existing vegetation.
Wetland Restoration /Preservation
• Mr. Tugwell and Ms. Hughes questioned whether there is enough water on the site for
successful wetland mitigation.
• Bill Biddlecome inquired whether a water budget has been prepared for the site.
Wetland Preservation Adjacent to Neuse River
• Mr. Tugwell stated that these wetlands are not in good enough condition to be considered
for high quality preservation at a 5:1 ratio; however, they could be preserved at a lower
credit ratio, such as 7.5:1.
• Mr. Tugwell stated that there is unlikely to be much threat to these wetlands. Threat would
need to be demonstrated in order for these wetlands to be considered for preservation.
The IRT members agreed that the project has merit and no fatal flaws were identified. Wetland

rehabilitation was discussed in reference to the restoration /rehabilitation /enhancement approach
to disturbed wetlands. The IRT members also questioned the proposed hydroperiod, it was
explained that the site would include a continuum of wetland conditions from seasonally inundated
to seasonally saturated with varying hydroperiods.
