1.0. Project Summary
1.1. Goals & Objectives
The Stallings Buffer Restoration Project is located on a 146 -acre parcel of former cropland in northern
Jones County NC, in the Trent River sub -basin of the Neuse River Basin, USGS Cataloging Unit (CU)
#03020204 (Figure IA). The NC Department of Transportation (NCDOT) purchased this property east
of Wyse Fork Rd (SR -1002) in 2003 for conservation use, and also acquired a conservation easement on
3 additional acres of farmed riparian land immediately upstream on the west side of Wyse Fork Rd.
The 2010 Neuse River Basin Restoration Priority Plan (RBRP) identifies agricultural impacts including
stream channelization, wetland ditching, loss of forested riparian buffers, and nonpoint source runoff as
causes of water quality degradation in the Trent River watershed. The Plan identifies "reestablishment of
riparian buffers and corridors of substantial width to improve connectivity of protected areas" and
"projects that address agricultural runoff' as priority goals for this watershed. Restoration Goals for CU
#03020204 as identified in the 2010 plan include:
• Promote nutrient and sediment reduction in agricultural areas by restoring and preserving wetlands,
streams and riparian buffers.
• Continue targeted implementation of Nutrient Offset and Riparian Buffer program projects, and focus
NCDOT- sponsored restoration in areas where it will provide ecosystem functional improvement.
• Protect, augment and connect Natural Heritage Areas and other conservation lands.
The Stallings Buffer Restoration Project was identified as an opportunity to improve water quality and
augment conservation lands within the Trent River watershed. The project goals include the following:
• Provide improved water quality by reducing nutrient and sediment loads to the receiving waters.
• Improve terrestrial and aquatic habitat and connectivity in the Flat Swamp Watershed.
These goals will be achieved through implementation of the following project objectives (Figure 113):
• Restore 31.6 acres of riparian buffers by planting native tree species at a sufficient density to promote
native forest succession, thus increasing riparian area root density and nutrient uptake.
• Preserve 19.1 acres of riparian riverine wetlands along Flat Swamp and its tributaries.
1.2. Project Success Criteria
Tree planting on 31.6 acres of riparian buffers along Streams A, B, and C was completed in early March
2014. Post - construction annual monitoring will be conducted from 2014 through 2018 using 25
permanent CVS vegetation plots all five years, and 25 temporary warranty plots during the first three
years. The vegetative success of the buffer restoration site will be evaluated based on woody stem
density and survival rates. The vegetation success criteria for riparian buffer mitigation units (BMUs)
require a minimum of 320 planted native hardwood stems (trees only) per acre at the end of 5 years.

1.3. Project Setting & Pre - Restoration Conditions
The Stallings Buffer Restoration Project is located on a 146 -acre parcel of former cropland in the
northern corner of Jones County NC, along the transition zone between the Inner Coastal Plain and
Outer Coastal Plain, eight miles southeast of downtown Kinston NC. Traveling to the site from Kinston,
drive east on US -70 into Jones County, turn right on Wyse Fork Rd (SR -1002) about 0.5 mile past the
Lenoir /Jones County line, then travel south approximately 3.5 miles to Webb Farm Road (SR- 1306).
The Stallings site is located southeast of the intersection of Wyse Fork Road and Webb Farm Road
(Figure 1A). The northern portion of the site can be accessed from Webb Farm Road, and the southern
portion can be accessed from Wyse Fork Road near the intersection with Moore Rd (SR- 1306).
The Stallings site is drained by several channelized streams and ditches flowing southeastward into Flat
Swamp along the eastern boundary of the site. The NC Division of Water Resources (DWR) agent
Chris Pullinger provided a letter and color -coded map in May 2011 indicating intermittent or perennial
streams subject to Neuse River Buffer Rules (mapped in blue) and ephemeral channels or ditches not
subject to Buffer Rules (mapped in red). Three drainage features mapped as A, B and C (where EEP
seeks buffer credits) are intermittent or perennial as identified in DWR's letter (Appendix A). A fourth
stream segment near the northeast corner of the site is also mapped in blue, but is neither labeled on the
DWR map nor listed in the letter. Due to this discrepancy EEP is not seeking buffer credit along this
reach, which is labeled Stream D in Figures 1 and 2 of this report. Flat Swamp flows into Beaver Creek
in the Trent River sub -basin of the Neuse River basin, USGS Cataloging Unit #03020204 - 010050 and
DWR sub -basin 03- 04 -11. An adjacent protected conservation area (non -EEP) lies across Flat Swamp
to the east of the Stallings site, creating a combined conservation area of 307 acres. This site in turn
connects with Great Dover Swamp, comprising several thousand acres of mostly undeveloped land to
the east in the Beaver Creek and Trent River watershed, between Wyse Fork Rd and US -70.
The USDA Soil Survey of Jones County (Barnhill, 198 1) shows Goldsboro fine sandy loam (GoA)
mapped on the higher, well - drained areas on the northern part of the site, Meggett loam (Me) on the
majority of the site including the planted areas, and Stockade fine sandy loam (Sx) along the Flat
Swamp floodplain. Meggett loam and Stockade fine sandy loam are designated hydric soils, although
much of the area mapped as Meggett has been drained and altered by agricultural activity and is not
jurisdictional wetland in its current condition. The floodplain of Flat Swamp along the eastern edge of
the site supports about 16 acres of mature bottomland hardwood and swamp forest wetlands, and the
lower reaches of Streams A and C (north and south of the powerline) have about 3 acres of disturbed
(previously farmed) scrub- dominated riparian wetlands. Wetland hydrology is maintained by a
combination of slow drainage of rainfall and occasional overbank flooding (Stantec, 2011).
1.4. Project Design, Construction, and Mitigation Assets
The 146 -acre Stallings Buffer Restoration Site was purchased by NC Department of Transportation
(NCDOT) in 2003 from a private owner and is protected for conservation use by a deed restriction. The
3 -acre riparian buffer on the adjacent Lee property west of Wyse Fork Rd is protected by a conservation
easement. The December 2011 version of the Mitigation Plan (Stantec Consulting Services, 2011)
included 40.0 acres of Riparian Buffer Restoration (40.0 Mitigation Units), 27.2 acres of Nitrogen
Nutrient Offset (27.2 Mitigation Units), 3.0 acres of Wetland Enhancement (1.5 Mitigation Units), 16.1
Stallings Buffer Restoration Site EEP #357 MY -0 As -Built Baseline Report, July 2014

acres of Wetland Preservation (3.2 Mitigation Units), and 5,403 feet of Stream Enhancement (2,161
Mitigation Units), all on the 146 -acre eastern tract. The 3 -acre western tract has no mitigation credits.
During the interval between development of the 2011 Mitigation Plan and project implementation in
Feb -Mar 2014, natural colonization and growth of tree saplings and shrubs continued in the fallow fields
and proposed wetland enhancement areas. The Riparian Buffer Restoration area was subsequently
reduced from 40.0 acres to 31.6 acres, with buffers extending 200 feet laterally from the DWR- verified
stream - banks, except where limited by the powerline right -of -way, roads, or adequate existing native
tree density. EEP and DWR determined that the proposed Wetland Enhancement areas along the lower
reaches of Streams A and C would instead be categorized as Wetland Preservation, since supplemental
tree planting was no longer needed. Stream channel reconstruction was determined to be unnecessary
and was deleted from the plan based on the engineer's calculations of shear stress and stream power, and
confirmation by DWR in May 2011 that the existing channels appear relatively stable.The proposed
nutrient offset buffers along the non - stream ditches were deleted, as were the proposed stream
enhancement mitigation credits along Streams A, B and C.
The proposed plan to clear, grub, and rip the soils in the riparian buffer planting areas was changed to
bush - hogging only. A few areas that were too wet and soft to bush -hog effectively without causing
severe soil rutting were not mowed prior to planting. The 2011 Mitigation Plan specified bare -root
seedlings of seven tree species to be planted in the riparian buffers, of which five species were actually
planted: Tulip poplar, Sycamore, Black gum, Water oak, and Red oak. After bush - hogging, the
contractor planted 14,200 bare -root tree seedlings in the riparian buffer restoration areas (31.6 acres,
including the non -mowed areas) using Dibble bars during late February to early March 2014. The non -
mowed planted areas are dominated by Baccharis, Morella, Rubus, Juncus, Solidago, and grasses. Most
of the planted seedlings were 10 to 18 inches tall, with a few seedlings 24 inches or taller, and average
planting density was 449 stems /acre.
The final project (as surveyed in March 2014) includes 31.6 acres of Riparian Buffer Restoration, which
may be applied as either 31.6 Riparian Buffer Mitigation Credits or 31.6 Nitrogen Nutrient Offset
Credits, depending on mitigation need as per agreement with DWR. The other 19.1 acres of wetland
preservation, 86 acres of non - buffer upland preservation, and 3 -acre conservation easement west of
Wyse Fork Rd do not provide any mitigation credits, but will help improve water quality and habitat
along waterways that are not subject to Neuse River Buffer Rules but may be Section 404 jurisdictional
waters (Figure 1B).
1.5. Monitoring Features and As -Built Survey
RJG &A together with Mogensen Mitigation Inc. (MMI) and EEP staff installed vegetation monitoring
features and conducted the as -built survey during March 11 -12, 2014. We installed 25 permanent CVS
vegetation monitoring plots within the restored riparian buffer areas (Appendix B, Figure 2). Each 10 x
10 meter plot has an 18 -inch long 0.5 -inch diameter steel conduit pipe installed at each corner and tied
with survey flagging, and a 3 -foot tall orange fiberglass rod at the 0,0 corner. The side closest to the
stream was designated as the x -axis, and a photo of each plot was taken facing diagonally from the 0,0
corner. For each plot the latitude and longitude coordinates of the 0,0 corner were recorded with a
Trimble sub -meter GPS unit, and the x -axis angle (from 0,0 corner to 10,0 corner) was recorded with a

magnetic compass. The x,y coordinates of each planted tree within the plots was recorded using meter
tapes laid along the plot edges, and survey flagging was tied loosely around each tree to facilitate
subsequent measurements and to distinguish them from volunteer trees. Planted trees were identified
using Radford et al. (1968) and Weakley (2012) to the extent practicable, but many stems had poorly
developed buds and were not yet identifiable (Appendix C, Table 5).
2.0. Monitoring Methods
Baseline Monitoring and Annual Monitoring and reporting methods shall follow the current EEP -
provided templates and guidelines (Lee et al 2008; NC -EEP 2012). The 25 permanent CVS vegetation
plots (10 x 10 meters) installed will be evaluated and photographed in Sep -Oct each year from 2014
through 2018. For planted trees, the species, height, dbh, and qualitative vigor rating of each tree will be
recorded (CVS Level 1 data). For volunteer trees and shrubs, the numbers of stems of each species
within each height category will be recorded (CVS Level 2 data). Planted and volunteer species will be
identified using Radford et al. (196 8) and Weakley (2012).
For the first three years (2014 through 2016) an additional 25 temporary vegetation warranty plots (10 x
10 meters) randomly located in the restored buffer areas will be evaluated. Warranty plot locations will
be recorded by GPS and will vary from year to year to maximize the cumulative sampling area covered.
These plots will record the total number of living hardwood trees only; species and size data will not be
recorded, unless a high prevalence of invasive exotic species is observed. Warranty plots will be
mapped cumulatively on the CCPV figures, with the current year's plots shown in a contrasting color.
The Stallings site does not have a perimiter fence, but the monitoring team will check the "Conservation
Area" signage along the boundary roads and look for evidence of encroachment by off -road vehicles,
livestock, or other potential sources of damage. Areas of invasive exotic vegetation in or adjacent to the
planted areas will be mapped in accordance with current EEP guidance. No stream monitoring or
hydrology monitoring is included in the Stallings project monitoring scope. Yearly monitoring reports
will be submitted to DWR for approval.

On -Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Area
Protection Rules (15A NCAC 213.0233)
Dear Ms. Smith:
On May 18, 2011, at your request I conducted an on -site determination to review drainage
features located on the subject property for applicability to the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A
NCAC 2B .0233). The project area is labeled as "2006 -0413 v2" on the attached map
initialed by me on May 31, 2011. The project is located on the southeast corner of the
intersection of Wyse Farm Road and
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the surface waters
circled, highlighted in blue, and labeled as "2006 -0413 v2 (A, B, and C)" on the
attached map are at least intermittent and are SUBJECT to the Neuse Buffer Rule.
The portions of the features that are highlighted in red are ephemeral and NOT SUBJECT
to the Rule. Throughout the project area, it appears that the stream banks are stable.
These features and any associated buffers should be identified on any future plans for this

ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM
Dear Ms. Smith,
On August 23, 2013, the Division of Water Resources (DWR) received the Stallings Buffer
Restoration Mitigation Plan from the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program
( NCEEP) for review and approval for riparian buffer mitigation. The plan was prepared by
Stantec Consulting Services, Inc on behalf of NCEEP. This site is located in Dover off Webb
Farm Road in Jones County, North Carolina and is located within the 8 -digit Hydrologic Unit
Code 03020204. On May 24, 2011, Chris Pullinger, with DWR, issued a Neuse Riparian Buffer
determination letter noting that three surface water features on the site were subject to the Neuse
River Riparian Buffer Protection Rules.
On September 16, 2013, Katie Merritt, with DWR, requested additional information as part of
the review of the subject mitigation plan. Most of the comments and recommendations provided
to NCEEP were incorporated into the mitigation plan and submitted to Ms. Merritt on September
17, 2013. It was agreed upon, that the remaining comments will be incorporated in an As -Built
Report at a later date. Based on the information above, DWR hereby approves the subject
mitigation plan.
Riparian Buffer mitigation generated at this site may be provided for buffer impacts within the
Neuse River Basin according to 15A NCAC 02B .0242.

RE: Stallings Riparian Buffer Project
Heather,
Per our conversation, all comments /recommendations provided in the email from me below can be incorporated into
the As -Built Report and submitted to DWR for review rather than editing the mitigation plan. As agreed upon, !DWR and
EEP fee! that this is the best way to move forward on this project. Please make sure that the streams identified in the
On -Site Determination letter submitted by Chris Pullinger, are the only streams that EEP is i-nitigating for Neuse Riparian
Buffer credits. Chris's letter states that 3 streams (Stream A, Stream B, and Stream Q are subject to the Neuse Buffer
Rule. However, there is a forth stream (labeled Stream D) shown on the EEP Asset Map as being proposed for Neuse
Riparian Buffer mitigation credits. If there are any questions regarding the letter submitted by Chris on May 2.41 2011,
please contact Anthony Scarbraugh with the DWR Washington Regional Office.
Thanks,
Katie

Subject: RE: Stallings Riparian Buffer Project
H! Heather,
Per your request to have DWR input on the EEP Stallings Buffer Restoration Project Mitigation Plan, I have provided
some comments for your consideration. Please see the corn ments /recommendations below:
• Modify the Mitigation Plan to exclude all mitigation types, credits determinations, and mitigation efforts that are
not intended as part of this mitigation plan. If EEP does not expect to use this site as Wetland or Nutrient Offset
mitigation, please remove this information from all asset maps and text that describe the mitigation work and
the assets that will result from the mitigation work.
• According to the mitigation plan, the site is located in the Neuse. However, Section 8.0 cites the Tar - Pamlico
Buffer Rules. Please correct where applicable.
• On page "i" at the bottom, the mitigation plan references the Federal Rule and the EEP In -Lieu Fee instrument.
neither of these documents apply to EEP & DWR or the DWR riparian buffer rules. Please remove from the
mitigation plan.
• Please remove all references to the USACE and IRT and replace with Division of Water Resources (example:
Section 10.0 states IRT will close out the project).
• Riparian Buffer Mitigation credits throughout mit plan state there are 40 acres. However, the letter from you in
August states there are only 32.5 acres of riparian. buffer. Please correct throughout.
• is the Jones County Flat Swamp cite also an EEP site? If so, please provide clarity in Section 2.2 and 2.2.3
• has the conservation easement boundary changed from what was originally recorded? if so, please provide that
information
• Figure 2.6 ( do not change) — I like this map because it shows what is Existing.
When the comments above have been incorporated, please resubmit the Mitigation Plan to DWR for record keeping. If
DWR will be performing the close out of this site at the end of monitoring, we will need to have annual monitoring
reports submitted to us for review /tracking. Please send all hard copies (along with a CD) of future documents regarding
this site to my attention at the following address with the DWR Project # 2006 -0413:

Stallings Mitigation Plan Comments
Stallings Buffer Site

July 2, 2014
John E. Skvarla, III
Secretary
Below are the concerns DWR raised during the Mitigation Plan review for the Stallings Riparian Buffer site.
It was agreed that the concerns could be addressed during the As- Built.
Modify the Mitigation Plan to exclude all mitigation types, credits determinations, and mitigation
efforts that are not intended as part of this mitigation plan. If EEP does not expect to use this site
as Wetland or Nutrient Offset mitigation, please remove this information from all asset maps and
text that describe the mitigation work and the assets that will result from the mitigation work.
o EEP has removed all reference to assets not being sought. EEP is only seeking riparian
buffer and nutrient offset credit
• According to the mitigation plan, the site is located in the Neuse. However, Section 8.0 cites the
Tar - Pamlico Buffer Rules. Please correct where applicable.
o Page 3 contains reference to the "Neuse River Buffer Rules ", not Tar - Pamlico
• On page "i" at the bottom, the mitigation plan references the Federal Rule and the EEP In -Lieu Fee
instrument. Neither of these documents apply to EEP & DWR or the DWR riparian buffer rules.
Please remove from the mitigation plan.
o There is no reference to the Federal Rule or the EEP In -Lieu Fee in the As -built
• Please remove all references to the USACE and IRT and replace with Division of Water Resources
(example: Section 10.0 states IRT will close out the project).
o There is no reference to USACE or the IRT in the As- built. Page 7 includes "Reports will be
submitted to DWR for approval"
• Riparian Buffer Mitigation credits throughout mit plan state there are 40 acres. However, the letter
from you in August states there are only 32.5 acres of riparian buffer. Please correct throughout.
o Due to on -site conditions at the time of site prep the acreage for buffer restoration was
decreased to 31.6 acres. This is noted in the As -built
• Is the Jones County Flat Swamp site also an EEP site? If so, please provide clarity in Section 2.2 and
2.2.3
o No it is not an EEP project but is a separate conservation parcel.
• Has the conservation easement boundary changed from what was originally recorded? if so, please
provide that information
o No, DOT owns the site and there is a small area with a conservation easement across Wyse
Fork Rd. That area is not included in assets.
• Figure 2.6 ( do not change) — I like this map because it shows what is Existing.
o This map is included in the As- built.
