1. Executive Summary /Project Abstract
The goals of the Plum Creek Wetland Mitigation Project (Appendix A, Figure 1) are to re- establish
wetland functions at the Site by restoring wetland hydrology, plant community composition and
structure, and wildlife habitat. The project will increase surface water residence time which will
improve groundwater recharge. Much of the water budget is influenced by precipitation, as surface
flow enters the site from adjoining parcels. A longer residence time will lead to improved
biochemical treatment resulting in improved water quality. Restoration of a native wetland vegetative
community will enhance floral and faunal habitat diversity benefiting both terrestrial and aquatic
wildlife. In order to achieve project goals, the following objectives were implemented:
The lateral ditches and southern perimeter ditch on the Site were plugged. The west ditch
and Boggy Branch were left intact to prevent hydrologic trespass on adjoining properties.
Soil to construct ditch plugs was excavated from the Site and the borrow pits were graded to
form small, shallow vernal pools.
Existing vegetation (loblolly pine) was sheared, drum chopped, and left on Site to promote
organic matter decomposition. There was no re- grading of the contours of the Site.
Habitat benefits on Site will be achieved for both terrestrial and aquatic species by
increasing micro - habitat diversity and vegetation diversity.
Overall, the Site met the criteria of 320 planted stems per acre with an average sampled density of
348 planted stems per acre. In Year 1, planted and volunteer stems had a sampled density of 1,929
stems per acre; therefore, it was not necessary to perform another count in Year 2. Visual inspection
during Year 2 monitoring efforts confirmed that the volunteer stem count and species remained
consistent. No vegetation problem areas were noted during monitoring Year 2. Vegetation plot data
can be found in the summary table below and in Appendix C.
The Site met the vegetation survival rate success criteria in 8 of the 9 monitoring plots. The results
from Year 1 had shown that three plots did not meet the criteria; Plots 4, 6, and 7. Year 2 monitoring
results showed that Plots 4 and 7 now meet the criteria because stems that had been labeled missing in
Year 1 or were not included in the As -Built inventory were located in Year 2. Plot 6 was one stem
less than the 320 stems per acre target and therefore did not meet the criteria.
No wells on Site recorded soil saturation within the upper 12 inches for greater than 12.5 percent of
the growing season. However, 78 percent of the Site recorded hydrology within the upper 12 inches
between 5 percent and 12.5 percent of the growing season (see summary table below and Appendix
D). It is believed that the Site is still recovering from the severe drought that lasted several years in
the region. Precipitation measured well below average for the first 197 days (79 %) of the 249 day
growing season. On day 198, the site received five days of rainfall totaling 17.74 inches or >41% of
the rainfall received for the entire growing season. Precipitation data can be found in Appendix D.
Reference well locations can be found on Appendix A, Figure 1. Soil profiles were dug at each well
location. All profiles displayed hydric soil characteristics of low chroma soil color. Pedon description
sheets for each soil profile can be found in Appendix E.
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)

2. Methodoloav
2.1. Ve etg ation
Vegetative data will be sampled every monitoring year for five years. Survival criteria of
planted woody stems will be 320 stems per acre in Year 3, 288 stems per acre in Year 4, and
260 stems per acre at the completion of the project monitoring period at Year 5.
Nine vegetation plots were established on Site. All plots are 10 meters by 10 meters in size.
Plots were established at each monitoring well location (Appendix B, Figure 2). Each plot is
identified by its corresponding well as shown on Appendix B, Figure 2. The plots were
established throughout the Site in order to gain a representative view of the overall success of
the plant community.
The CVS -EEP Level 1 was used for assessing vegetative success (Lee et al., 2006). Level 1 is
the inventory of planted stems. Berger is only required to perform a Level 1 assessment under
the existing contract. Although Berger performed a Level 2 assessment in Year 1, it was not
done in Year 2. Visual inspection during Year 2 monitoring efforts confirmed that the
volunteer stem count and species remained consistent; therefore, a Level 2 assessment was not
necessary.
2.2. Hydrology
Hydrology will be considered successful by two metrics, per the USACE wetland delineation
manual (Environmental Laboratory, 1987). One criterion provides for hydrologic success if
the soil is ponded, flooded, or saturated within 12 inches of the soil surface continuously for at
least 12.5 percent of the growing season, assuming normal precipitation. The second
alternative measurement of success would be to attain ponded, flooded, or saturated conditions
within 12 inches of the soil surface continuously between 5 and 12.5 percent of the growing
season, provided the hydric soil and hydrophytic vegetation wetland criteria are also met. In
Brunswick County, the growing season is typically 249 days, assuming a temperature of above
28 degrees F and a frequency of 5 of 10 years (MRCS, 2009). The growing season in
Brunswick County typically occurs between approximately March 15 and November 18 in a
given calendar year. As a result, 5 to 12.5 percent of the growing season is 12 to 31 days.
The groundwater hydrology of the Plum Creek Site will be monitored during the growing
season in accordance with USACE guidelines through the use of shallow monitoring wells
Plum Creek Wetland Mitigation Project; EEP Project Number D06040 -A; Year 2 of 5; Submitted: February 2011

The Louis Berger Group, Inc. Plum Creek Wetland Mitigation Project
with automatic data loggers (USACE, 2003). Groundwater data will be collected from 15
monitoring wells. Nine wells were established throughout the site to accurately obtain a
representative view of the groundwater hydrology. Six additional wells were installed in the
western central portion of the site, perpendicular the western border ditch (Appendix B, Figure
2). The purpose of these wells is to show the linear extent of drawn down effect of this ditch on
the wetland.
A stream gauge was installed in Boggy Branch, within the property boundaries, for
informational purposes only. The stream gauge will keep records of the level of water in
Boggy Branch. No success criteria are attached to the gauge.
2.3. Photo Stations
Eight fixed photo stations were established throughout the Site. These locations are presented
in Figure 2. Photographs were taken during the monitoring efforts in November 2010.
Photographs can be found in Appendix B.

The subject project site is an environmental restoration site of the NCDENR Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) and is encompassed by recorded conservation easement, but is bordered by land under private
ownership. Accessing the site may require traversing areas near or along the easement boundary and therefore access by the general public is not permitted. Access by authorized personnel of state aril federal
agencies or their designees /contractors involved in the development, oversight and stewardship ofthe restoration site is permitted within the terms and timeframes of their defined roles. Any intended site visitation or
activity by any person outside ofthese previously sanctioned roles and activities requires prior coordination with EEP.
