1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY / PROJECT ABSTRACT
1.1 Project Goals and Objectives
The Green Valley Buffer Mitigation Project is located in the 03030003 Catalog Unit (CU), in the Cape
Fear River Basin. Assets of this CU include the Deep River, the Randleman Reservoir, and major
communities including High Point, Asheboro, Siler City, and Sanford. Restoration goals for CU
03030003 as identified in the 2009 Cape Fear River Basin RBRP include protection of several species of
mussel and the Cape Fear Shiner. Additional goals include the improvement in water quality to waters
draining to Randleman Reservoir.
The Green Valley Buffer Mitigation Project was identified as an opportunity to improve water quality and
habitat within the CU. The project goals address stressors identified in the CU. The following table lists
the project goals and the project objectives through which the goals will be addressed:
1.2 Project Background
The Green Valley Farms Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site is located on Hockett Dairy Road (SR 1938) in
Randolph County approximately 12 miles north of Asheboro, NC (Figure 1). The site is located in the
Cape Fear River Basin within Cataloging Unit 03030003010070 (NCDWQ sub -basin 03- 06 -08). The site
has four unnamed tributaries (UT) that drain into Randleman Lake (Figure 2). The proposed project will
result in 8.74 to 9.6 acres of buffer restoration. The upper 400 linear feet of UT 4, which account for the
0.86 -acre difference in the buffer restoration acreage range, are not subject to the Randleman Buffer
Rules. It is anticipated that performing buffer restoration along the entire length of UT 4 (590 linear feet)
will result in a defined channel within the five -year monitoring period, and that the Site will ultimately
yield the full 9.6 acres of buffer restoration.
The project site is located in the Piedmont Physiographic Province and in the Carolina Slate Belt. The
region is underlain by felsic metavolcanic rocks, which can be seen in the streambed of UT 1 and UT 3.
The topography of the project area is generally rolling with elevations ranging from 670 to 760 feet. The
four unnamed tributaries to Randleman Lake comprise the principle drainage features. The project's
watershed is primarily used for agricultural production. Much of the site is currently used for row crop
production for dairy silage. These tributaries have limited hardwood trees present within the buffer and
lack significant ground cover. The mature trees have a density of less than 100 stems per acre. The project
area has been in agricultural use for several decades.

1.2 Project Background
The Green Valley Farms Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site is located on Hockett Dairy Road (SR 1938) in
Randolph County approximately 12 miles north of Asheboro, NC (Figure 1). The site is located in the
Cape Fear River Basin within Cataloging Unit 03030003010070 (NCDWQ sub -basin 03- 06 -08). The site

The Green Valley Farms mitigation project offers an opportunity for high quality riparian buffer
restoration. Stream buffer mitigation for the Green Valley Farms Site involves buffering four streams that
flow directly and indirectly into Randleman Lake. The mitigation design divides the site into four distinct
reaches (Figure 2). Buffer restoration is proposed along all four channels. Three existing farm access
crossings have been upgraded and stabilized to prevent erosion.
1.3 Vegetation Condition
The measure of vegetative success for the site is the survival of at least 320 five -year old planted trees per
acre at the end of year five of the monitoring period. CVS Level 2 was performed in monitoring Year 2
to document any volunteer generation. A total of 2 volunteers were observed across all 11 vegetation
plots. Year 2 monitoring recorded an average of 574 planted stems per acre and 581 total stems per acre
(planted and volunteers) across all vegetation plots. Many plots continued to show a high rate of mortality
in Year 2. In particular, Plots 7, 8, and 10 each had less than 300 stems per acre in Year 2. Other
vegetation issues include invasive species within the easement. The invasive Johnsongrass (Sorghum
halepense) was common and problematic across the majority of the site. Additionally, there was a high
density of morning glory vines (Ipomea quamoclit) that caused several of the planted trees to be bent
over. Along plot 4, Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) is beginning to encroach on the stream side of the
plot. Plot 10 burned previous to year 1 monitoring, and the Year 2 survey confirms that the plot has been
re- established. Overall, vegetation across the site is in fair to poor condition. Adaptive management has
included mowing herbaceous vegetation (including Johnsongrass) along UT2 and UT3 and supplemental
planting. This has decreased invasive competition minimally and resulted in incidental damage to planted
trees. The Current Condition Plan View is provided in Appendix B, Figure 2.
1.4 Summary Information / Data
Summary information/data related to the occurrence of items such as beaver or encroachment and
statistics related to performance of various project and monitoring elements can be found in the tables and
figures in the report appendices. Narrative background and supporting information formerly found in
these reports can be found in the Baseline Monitoring Report (formerly Mitigation Plan) and in the
Mitigation Plan (formerly the Restoration Plan) documents available on EEP's website. All raw data
supporting the tables and figures in the appendices is available from EEP upon request.
2.0 METHODOLOGY
In order to determine if the success criteria are achieved and the planted areas are developing toward the
target community, NCEEP -CVS Protocol for Recording Vegetation Version 4.2 will be utilized. The
vegetation monitoring will include Level I and Level II plots distributed across the planted area. An
interim vegetation monitoring will occur in spring after leaf -out has occurred. The CVS monitoring will
be conducted toward the end of the growing season. Individual plot data will be provided to NCEEP and
CVS following NCEEP -CVS guidance. The annual monitoring requirements are summarized in the
following table:

Photographs will be used to visually document restoration success. Reference photos will be taken once a
year and will be used to visually document restoration success. Reference photo stations are marked with
wooden stakes. Reference stations will be photographed immediately following planting and continued
annually for at least five years following construction. Photographers will make every effort to maintain
the same area in each photo over time. Photographs will be used to subjectively evaluate vegetation
establishment. A series of photos over time should indicate successional maturation of riparian
vegetation.

The subject project site is an environmental restoration site
of the NCDENR Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP)
and is encompassed by a recorded conservation easement,
but is bordered by land under private ownership. Therefore
access by the general public is not permitted. Access by
authorized personnel of state and federal agencies or their
designees /contractors involved in the development, monitoring,
and stewardship of the restoration site is permitted within the
terms and timeframes of their defined, pre- approved roles. Any
intended site visitation or activity by any person outside of these
previously sanctioned activities /roles requires prior coordination
with EEP.
