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:
Initially 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. Following Year 2, Berger filled the lateral
ditches and southern perimeter ditch completely with on -site soil to facilitate lateral
groundwater flow through site.
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.
The Plum Creek Wetland Mitigation Site (site) is an 89 -acre site located in the Carolina Flatwoods
ecoregion of the Middle Atlantic Coastal Plain (Griffith et al., 2002). Prior to the restoration, the Site
was a loblolly pine plantation for several generations of timber, owned by Plum Creek Timberlands,
Inc. The Site occurs in the headwaters of the Lumber River Basin: USGS Hydrologic Unit 03040207
and North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) subbasin 03- 07 -59. Boggy Branch, which
drains to the Lockwoods Folly River, flows along the eastern side of the Site. Land use immediately
surrounding the Site is mostly silviculture with timber stands of varying ages in rotation. The Green
Swamp Game Land is located to the northwest of the Site. A swine operation is located to the
southeast of the Site.
Overall, the Site met the criteria of 288 planted stems per acre with an average sampled density of
341 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 of volunteer stems in Year 2
or Year 3. Visual inspection during Year 2 and Year 3 monitoring efforts confirmed that the volunteer
stem count and species remained consistent. Vegetation plot data is presented in the summary table
below and in Appendix C.
The Site met the vegetation survival rate success criteria in 7 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 met 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. Year 4 monitoring
confirmed the findings of previous years, again with Plot 6 falling short of the success criteria by just
one stem count. Unlike previous years, Plot 2 fell one stem count short of meeting the success
criteria in year 4.

1 - One additional planted stem was found during Year -3 monitoring.
- During Year 1 monitoring, these plots did not make vegetation criteria due to missing stems. These
stems were found during subsequent years monitoring efforts.
3 - Short of meeting the 288 stem/ac threshold.
In 2012, rainfall totals in the pre - growing season were significantly low and the site was classified to
be in moderate to severe drought during this period. In addition, rainfall amounts were low at the
beginning of the growing season while exhibiting moderate drought conditions. One well (11
percent) on Site continuously recorded soil saturation within the upper 12 inches for greater than 12.5
percent of the growing season. Additionally, three wells (33 percent) of the Site continuously
recorded saturation within the upper 12 inches between 5 percent and 12.5 percent of the growing
season, and five wells (55 percent) continuously recorded saturation for less than 5 percent of the
growing season (See summary table below and Appendix D). Overall, soil saturation measured at
well sites during Year 4 was lower than that of Year 3. These finding are consistent with moderate
and moderate to severe drought conditions reported during and prior to the start of the 2012 growing
season.

The Site is still recovering from a severe drought in the region that has lasted for several years. For
Year 4, the region was classified as having abnormally dry to moderate drought conditions for 100
percent of the growing season. Moreover, for 116 of 144 weeks of the last 4 growing seasons, (81
percent of the time), the site has been classified as abnormally dry or having varying degrees of
drought conditions. Drought classification data for monitoring years 1 to 4 can be found in the
summary table below. Precipitation measured well below average for all of the growing season except
August which was above average. The average annual rainfall over the last 30 years at the nearest
weather station in Shallotte is approximately 48.3 inches with the least amount of rain recorded in that
period is 33.3 inches. The 2012 (Jan -Nov) rainfall on site totaled 38.86 inches, which is roughly 10
inches below average, or 80 percent of the average annual rainfall over the past 30 years.
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) documents available on EEP's website. All raw
data supporting the tables and figures in the appendices is available from EEP upon request.
2. Methodology
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 and Year 3 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 is monitored during the growing season in
accordance with USACE guidelines through the use of shallow monitoring wells with
automatic data loggers ( USACE, 2003). Groundwater data is 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 restored
wetland.
A stream gauge was installed in Boggy Branch, within the property boundaries, for
informational purposes only. The stream gauge keeps 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, Appendix B. Photographs were taken during the monitoring efforts in November
2012. Photographs can be found in Appendix B.
