Landfall is on a 2,250 -acre tract (Landfall Tract) formerly known as the Pembroke Jones Estate in eastern New Hanover County. The Landfall Tract is ' roughly bordered by Eastwood Road (US 74) to the south, the Intracoastal Waterway to the east, Howe Creek to the north, and a Carolina Power and Light powerline (roughly parallel to and just east of Old Military Cutoff to the west (Figure 1). Begun in 1984, residential development 1 consists of single family homes, townhouses and recreational facilities including two golf courses and a tennis complex on the Landfall Tract. ' Landfall needs to restore and enhance the open waters and wetland areas of the Horseshoe Lake Complex (also referred to as Project Area) to provide for a change in use from the previously ' proposed development of a large marina into a residential community surrounding an ecologically integrated and stable lake and wetland habitat system. I The residential development addressed in this Environmental Assessment is planned for the 83.61 - acre Project Area surrounding an upper lake area (referred to herein as Upper Lake) and the original Horseshoe Lake (referred to herein as Horseshoe Lake). This Project Area is depicted in Figure 2. The proposed project will involve the reconfiguration of the man -made Upper Lake and the maintenance of the man -made Horseshoe Lake to: 1. Control stormwater run -of from adjacent residential areas. 2. Function as a settling pond to protect the marsh and open water areas of Middle Sound from excess nutrients and sediment associated with residential development. ' 3. Substantially enhance a degraded wetland complex. 4. Provide improved wildlife habitat. 5. Create a setting more attractive to the adjoining residential subdivision. ' 6. Provide a mechanism for long -term wetland and open water management. Landfall proposes to construct a dam between Upper Lake and Horseshoe Lake to create two open twater lakes surrounded by a mixture of marsh vegetation that blends into forested wetlands and to construct a bridge to connect lands adjacent to Horseshoe Lake. The reconfigurated Upper Lake will occupy approximately 12.51 acres (5.99 acres of open water and 6.52 acres of wetland) and have a normal pool at elevation 4.5 feet MSL. The Upper Lake water level will be maintained with inverted siphons and spillway. Maintenance of Horseshoe Lake by removing accumulated silt and vegetation will restore the lake to conditions present in 1984. The wetland areas around both lakes will be enhanced, where appropriate, to create an expanded and diverse wetland marsh fringe bounded by areas of wetland forest. Upland areas intermixed with existing wetlands around the ' lakes will be converted to higher quality wetlands. Residential parcels will be developed on uplands surrounding the lake complex (Plat 8). -I- Horseshoe Lake Complex at Landfall February 1, 1995 FIGURE 1 Landfall Location Map -2- L 01 LANDFALL 'ilk FIGURE 1 Landfall Location Map -2- LANDFALL 'ilk .4. z J f� P, f� LOCATION OF LANDFALL -WALE: I" - 3.33 mi JAPPROVE—DBY DPAWN By DATE: June 1994 'ZR FIGURE 1 CP 1150.08 FIGURE 1 Landfall Location Map -2- FIGURE 2 Horseshoe Lake Complex Location Map -3- )RSESHOE LAKE COMPLEX A I ,II ' 2.0 PURPOSE AND NEED 1 Landfall acquired the Project Area in 1984 as part of the Landfall Tract. Landfall developed a master plan for the entire Landfall Tract which provided for development of a large marina and related facilities in the Project Area (Figure 5). Landfall filed a revised application with the Wilmington District of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) and the Division of Coastal Management (DCM) of the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources on 15 October 1985 to construct a 1,003 -slip marina in the Project Area. The marina project included a boat basin of 27.83 acres and the filling and inundation of 11.5 acres of adjacent wetlands (Figure 6). This application drew a variety of negative comments from the COE, DCM, other interested agencies, and some adjacent landowners. However, the application has never been denied or withdrawn, and the work on a marina project has never been abandoned. Several revised and reduced marina plans were developed for the Project Area and discussed with the COE, the latest in the summer of 1990. Development of the residential subdivisions and recreational facilities of the overall Landfall Tract began in 1984. Throughout the course of the construction, the. a source er consistent with the anticipated expansion of the Horseshoe Lake Complex into a large marina basin. Thes an or a e e. These area° to These activities resulted in the unintentional ® f wetlands (Figure 3). In the late summer of 1991, the National Wildlife Federation and its North Carolina affiliate gave notice of intent to file a civil action seeking to prevent certain development activities in the Landfall tract. The Complaint was filed in January 1992. This litigation disrupted development activities and delayed consideration of a revised marina design for the Project Area. This litigation was resolved by Consent Decree and a Dismissal with Prejudice in the spring of 1993. With the Dismissal, Landfall retained Paton/Zucchino & Associates, PA (PZA) to develop a marina ' plan acceptable to the COE and the DCM. As PZA's work progressed, it became apparent to Landfall that development of a marina commensurate with the upscale nature of the Landfall t community would likely elicit continued regulatory and public opposition. Landfall requested that PZA develop an alternative that would restore the area to a stable and functional natural state and make it amenable to adjacent residential development. If If this permit i Figure 4 is a proposed summary plan for reconstructing the site to provide for residential development in a natural setting. The plan provides for: ' Horseshoe Lake Complex at Landfall February 1, 1995 -4- 3. The preservation of 7.85 acres of pre -1984 natural and man -made wetlands, 1.34 acres of stormwater ponds, and 2.99 acres of open water at the Horseshoe Lake Complex. The goal of this plan is to provide for effective stormwater management in developed residential areas with improved and increased wetland fringe areas that will be permanently sustained by adjacent open water areas. By implementing this plan, Landfall will have re es of wetlands in the Project Area and will have impacted AVORWres of natural pre -1984 wetlands areas for ate,. mitigation ratio, without taking into consideration enhancement and preservation credits. After ' consideration of appropriate mitigation credits for all activities, the proposed project will result in a greater than 3 to 1 mitigation ratio for impacts on natural pre -1984 wetland areas. 1 u -5- Horseshoe Lake Complex at Landfall February 1, 1995 1. Removing siltation from Horseshoe Lake to return the lake to the conditions as they existed when Landfall purchased the property in 1984 (see Figure 10 on aerial photograph of the ' Project Area taken in 1984). Thereafter, enhancing or creating stable and diverse wetland fringes bounded by forested wetlands will improve water quality protection and increase wildlife habitat. ' 2. Contouring the recently, man -made Upper Lake area to provide for deep water and a higher ' quality, continuous wetland littoral fringe bounded by forested wetlands. This will require the fl- n -made wetland areas and ANSWres of prate- etlands. However, this unified plan for the Horseshoe Lake Complex will ' return the area to a functioning, higher quality natural environment which will include the restoration of 0.56 acres of prior converted wetlands, creation of 3.24 acres of wetlands from existing uplands, the enhancement of 4.64 acres of existing wetlands, and the creation ' of 4.73 acres of new open -water habitat (Tables 1 and 2). 3. The preservation of 7.85 acres of pre -1984 natural and man -made wetlands, 1.34 acres of stormwater ponds, and 2.99 acres of open water at the Horseshoe Lake Complex. The goal of this plan is to provide for effective stormwater management in developed residential areas with improved and increased wetland fringe areas that will be permanently sustained by adjacent open water areas.

Horseshoe Lake was created in the 1920's as the result of a berm/dam constructed perpendicular to a natural drain over natural contours. Removal of sand soils from areas surrounding Horseshoe Lake during 1987 through 1990 has lowered elevations and altered the topography. Elevations within the study area range generally from 2 feet to 40 feet above sea level. 3.2 Soils_ Soils of the Project Area have been significantly altered by past lake construction and excavation activities. The historic drain is mapped as hydric Torhunta loamy fine sand. The areas surrounding the drain are mapped as non -hydric Lakeland sand. Much of the Torhunta loamy fine sand was inundated Horseshoe Lake was created. Much of the surrounding Lakeland Sand has been excavated and removed from the site in recent years (Appendix D). 3.3 Surface Waters. Existing surface waters in the Project Area are primarily impounded within Horseshoe Lake and adjacent excavated areas referred to as Upper Lake.

The National Wetlands Inventory Map for the area identifies Horseshoe Lake as a palustrine, nonconsolidated mud bottom, permanently flooded, ' diked /impounded system. The presence of living cat -tails adjacent to the culvert indicates that the lake is elevated enough to prevent regular saltwater intrusion. 3.4 Vegetation Resources. Man - related disturbances to the area have resulted in relatively young vegetation communities that are characteristic of early successional habitats. Plant communities of Upper Lake and Horseshoe Lake Project Area were described and delineated by CZR Incorporated in 1994 (Appendix B). Communities and habitats described in the report include mixed herbaceous assemblage, shrub - scrub, upland forest, cat -tail marsh, mixed marsh, wetland forest and open water.

Additional ' wetl f e s ries. The excavation ed water to pool in low relief areas and has created patchy wetland conditions. Wetlands surround the open water in narrow bands of relatively ' distinct vegetation communities. Areas regulated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act were delineated in the Project Area by CZR Incorporated and were confirmed by the COE on 07 March 1994 (Plat 1). ' Horseshoe Lake Complex at Landfall February 1, 1995 -10- 1 r I 1 3.6 Wildlife Resources. Wildlife of the Project Area is characteristic of open, young successional habitats and freshwater marshes. Upland communities of the Project Area are primarily disturbed old field habitats that have been mowed regularly over the past few years. Wildlife use of these open areas includes many animals that range over a variety of habitats. White - tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana), gray fox ( Urocyon cinereoargenteus), raccoon (Procyon lotor), and a variety of birds are highly mobile animals characteristic of the upland habitats. Aquatic communities of the area attract a variety of wildlife. Although no fish surveys have been conducted, sunfish (Lepomis spp.) have been observed in the lake. The freshwater lake /marsh complex attracts a variety of water birds. Birds such as the great -blue heron ( Ardea herodias), great egret (Casmerodius albus), green- backed heron (Butorides striatus), and little blue heron (Egretta caerulea) often feed in shallow freshwater marshes. Aquatic turtles and amphibians also reside in the aquatic communities associated with the lake complex. 3.7 Threatened and Endangered Species. The following species are federally listed as threatened or endangered and are recognized by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service as occurring in New Hanover County, North Carolina: green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas), red - cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta), shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum), piping plover (Charadrius melodus), leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea), Kemp's Ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys kempi), American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) (based on similarity of appearance), seabeach amaranth (Amaranthus pumilus), peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), and Dismal Swamp southeastern shrew (Sorex longirostris fisheri). No suitable habitat for sea turtles occurs in the Project Area. The listed sea turtles are found primarily in the ocean and along the beaches. Shortnose sturgeon occur in deep -water rivers and in coastal waters and no suitable habitat occurs in the study area. Piping plover and seabeach amaranth occur primarily along coastal beaches and near inlets and no suitable habitat occurs in the Project Area. Suitable habitat (mature pine forests) for the red - cockaded woodpecker does not exist in the Project Area. The bald eagle and peregrine falcon are rare to uncommon migrants and winter residents in coastal habitats of New Hanover County. The American alligator is considered to be biologically secure, and is no longer protected under the Endangered Species Act. The American alligator is listed only due to its similarity to the endangered American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus). American alligators have been reported near the study area, and suitable habitat occurs in the Project Area. The Dismal Swamp southeastern shrew occurs in a variety of habitats and could occur in the Project Area. None of the species listed in section 3.7 above have been identified within the Project Area. 3.8 Unique Natural Areas. Based on information from the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program, no unique natural areas are located in the vicinity of the Project Area. -11- Horseshoe Lake Complex at Landfall February 1, 1995 ' 4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT 1 1 4.1 Topography. Construction of the proposed project will further alter the topographic features within the Project Area. Construction of a dam, excavation of areas above the dam, and filling of other areas surrounding the lake shore will occur as impacts of the proposed project. Excavation of silt from Horseshoe Lake will restore the lake to conditions present in 1984. 4.2 Soils_ Excavation and inundation of soils within the Project Area will occur as a result of the proposed project. However, the proposed project will mostly impact areas of previously disturbed soils identified as Torhunta loamy fine sand and Lakeland sand. 4.3 Surface Waters. Activities associated with the preparation of the lake area will expose some soils to erosion. Construction activities will comply with the North Carolina Sedimentation Pollution Control Act. An erosion and sedimentation control plan will be approved by New Hanover County which follows guidelines set forth by the North Carolina Land Quality Section prior to project construction. The proposed reconfiguration of Upper Lake along with the maintenance excavation of Horseshoe Lake will his will improve downstream water quality by reducing sediment and nutrient loading. Both lakes will function as large -scale settling ponds for both pollutants and sediment. The perimeter of the proposed lakes will incorporate an extended shallow water terrace favorable for marsh development that slopes into open water approximately 7 -8 feet deep. The proposed project will enhance the filter and buffer between any residential development and the marsh areas of Middle Sound and the AIWW. The lakes will also function as flood storage structures for a 256 -acre drainage area. A routing summary for the proposed lake complex has been prepared by John R. McAdams Company, Inc. (see Appendix C). This report summarizes the expected frequency of inundation, flood elevations, and peak flows of the lake area. The emergency spillway is located above the expected flood elevation of a 50 -year storm (8.5 feet MSL). The expansive flat areas, coupled with the bank and terrace areas around the lake, provide a large storage volume with relatively small increases in pool depth. 4.4 Vegetation Resources. Table 2 summarizes the impacts of the proposed project on vegetation communities within the Project Area. Most areas inundated by the normal pool will be converted from their present state to a lake environment. Buffer areas surrounding the lake will serve as wetland mitigation and exist as a variety of mixed marshes and, where appropriate, wetland forests. Surrounding upland terrestrial vegetation will be subject to impacts from residential development. Most of the current communities exist as a result of human - related disturbances. -12- Horseshoe Lake Complex at Landfall February 1, 1995 71 L 4.5 Section 404 Jurisdictional Areas. Jurisdictional areas impacted by the proposed project are summarized in Tables 1 and 2. The Horseshoe Lake Complex will impact a total of 2.29 acres of natural wetlands (0.31 filled and 1.98 flooded) and 1.28 acres of man -made wetlands (0.33 filled and 0.95 flooded). Approximately 1. 16 acres of sediment induced wetlands will be removed from Horseshoe Lake as a result of maintenance activities. These wetlands are p �d occur in areas of open water that was unvegetated in 1984. Section 404 Jurisdictional Area impacts are further discussed in the description of mitigation for unavoidable wetland impacts in Section 5.0. 4.6 Wildlife Resources. Wildlife of the Project Area is characteristic of open, young, successional habitats and freshwater marshes. Upland communities impacted by this proposed project are primarily disturbed old field habitats that have been mowed regularly over the past few years. Wildlife of these open areas include many animals that favor ecotones and fragmented habitats and occur in a variety of habitats. Some aquatic wildlife may benefit from the proposed mitigation. A variety of aquatic turtles, amphibians, and birds are attracted to a diverse marsh/open water complex. Because there will be no loss of wetland acreage associated with the impoundment project, any anticipated adverse impacts to aquatic wildlife are expected to be temporary. The mixed vegetation species proposed in the mitigation plan will provide a diverse food source and should attract a variety of aquatic wildlife species. The proposed project is not expected to alter fish species found in the current lake; however, fish biomass will increase proportionately to the increase in available habitat. Therefore, the availability of food sources for aquatic feeding birds will also increase. 4.7 Threatened and Endangered Species. No significant impacts to state or federal listed threatened or endangered species are expected as a result of the proposed project. The presence of the Dismal Swamp southeastern shrew (Sorex longirostris fisheri) has recently been recognized as occurring in New Hanover County. This federally threatened subspecies occurs in a variety of habitats, including early successional fields to forested areas. The shrew has not been identified in the Project Area. Any impacts to habitat would be temporary and offset through the wetlands mitigation. The recent range extension and status of this species is currently under review. 4.8 Unique Natural Areas. No impacts to unique natural areas will occur as a result of the proposed project. -13- Horseshoe Lake Complex at Landfall February 1, 1995 Fl N d F w M M �v f 000 0 M OO M L w a O 0 M 0 O 0 O 0 0 tn 0 d y rl r O U d a t-: °o, W tn in N -- O N O r a 'C d ".4 otn N N o vri w eC M w d 0 0 0 0 0 o 0 o 0 � 0 on +� i ono oro m o N tn tn R! o a m U om G d d H U � 3 3 d F O q O O O o a O O � U w a O o U � o � � o O U cd U r, � d �+ O O U k cOC O G � aoi � •o �v c� o � � o a � � c o � d O � � U r co = O U � 3 83 U vU .01 i r wMcz U QJ k UWU cz U Q X �w O U a 0 x J u 1 5.0 MITIGATION MEASURES 5.1 Introduction. As previously discussed, the Project Area was historically an alluvial forest bordered by uplands with well drained soils and topography of moderate relief. Impoundment of the natural drain in the 1920s resulted in the creation of Horseshoe Lake. Much of the existing topography, soils, surface waters, and vegetation in the Project Area are a direct result of alterations by man. Based upon historic soils mapping, it appears that the current Section 404 jurisdictional areas are more extensive than historic (pre -1920s impoundment and pre -1984 acquisition) conditions (Plat 2). Additional wetland areas have formed as the result of excavation activities in the non -hydric Lakeland sand soil series down to a clay layer which has allowed water to pool in low relief areas creating patchy wetland conditions. Wetlands surround the lake areas in narrow bands of relatively distinct vegetative communities dominated by herbaceous vegetation. A relatively diverse mixed marsh surrounds much of the permanent water of Upper Lake. Much of the mixed herbaceous wetlands of Upper Lake appear to have been created in excavated areas of the Lakeland sand. Cat -tails (Typha spp.), consisting of largely monotypic, dense stands, have invaded much of the older Horseshoe Lake. The water depth of Horseshoe Lake has decreased over the years due to of sedimentation and the build -up of organic substrate. 5.2 Avoidance and Minimization. If the permit is granted, Landfall plans to develop the Project Area for residential purposes. Several marina and residential development scenarios were considered, all of which resulted in considerably more wetland impact than the proposed plan (see Figures 6,7 and 8). Because the post project lake complex will be an amenity for the surrounding residential areas, a more expansive open water system would be preferred. In changing from earlier scenarios that maximize economic opportunity, Landfall has avoided and minimized impacts to existing wetland areas and adjoining tidal areas by: 1. Avoiding two undisturbed natural wetlands, for example, two wetland forest areas totaling 1.11 acres which project into prime residential areas were excluded from impacts (Tables 3 and 4). 2. Avoiding or minimizing impacts to higher quality wetland communities (i.e., wetland forest and mixed marsh) and limiting construction activities to uplands and, when avoidable, in lower quality mixed herbaceous wetland areas (Table 2). 3. Protecting and enhancing a fringe wetland on shallow water terraces surrounding the lake (Plat 7). 4. Minimizing the impacts to wetlands as a result of fill versus inundation (Table 2). 5. Limiting maintenance excavation activities associated with Horseshoe Lake to conditions that existed at the time of acquisition by Landfall rather than the original conditions in the 1920's (Table 7). -15- Horseshoe Lake Complex at Landfall February 1, 1995 1 1 i 1 TABLE 3.

The proposed project involves the creation/enlargement of the Upper Lake and the maintenance of the lower, older, original Horseshoe Lake. Substantial beneficial impacts and some short-term negative impacts will be associated with the project. Discussed below are the potential project impacts and methods used to evaluate the wetlands. There are a number of different methods now used to determine the function and value of specific wetlands. Because the surrounding upland areas either have been or will be developed into residential areas and the run -off from these areas flows directly into the estuarine system of Middle Sound, a valuation method which focuses more on water quality rather than habitat potential appears more appropriate to this site. The North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environmental Management (DEM), Water Quality Section has developed a holistic approach for evaluating wetland values using the "Third Version North Carolina Division of Environmental Management Wetland Rating System" (May 1993) that places strong emphasis on protecting water quality. This system was used to evaluate the pre- and post - project Section 404 jurisdictional areas of the Project Area assuming residential build -out of the adjacent upland areas. This system rates ten values of wetlands including: 1) water storage, 2) bank/shoreline stabilization, 3) pollutant removal, 4) sensitive watershed, 5) travel corridor, 6) special ecological attributes, 7) wildlife habitat, 8) aquatic life value, 9) recreation/education, and 10) economic value. Using a system of flow charts, each function is evaluated via choices selected from scientifically based questions about the wetland system. Individual wetland values are grouped into water quality, landscape, habitat, and human values. Each value is given an individual score, but the group is given an overall weighting. These weightings reflect the DEM's regulatory emphasis on protecting water quality. Tables 5 through 10 set forth the numerical valuation using DEM's Wetland Rating System. A discussion on each of the evaluated wetland values is presented below. Descriptions of these functions were taken from DEM's "Third Version North Carolina Division of Environmental Management Wetland Rating System" (May 1993). -20- Horseshoe Lake Complex at Landfall February 1, 1995 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Table 5.

The ability of the wetland site to receive, store, and filter run -off water from an approximate 250 -acre drainage basin, prior to run -off water entering an estuarine wetland complex, is one of the site's greatest functions. A proposed dam will increase the water depth of Upper Lake area by as much as 4 feet. Increasing the storage capacity of the wetland complex and maintaining persistent emergent vegetation along the wetland edge will make the ' wetland even more valuable for water /run -off storage. 5.3.2 Bank/Shoreline Stabilization. Wetland vegetation around the perimeter of the lake serves to protect the shoreline from erosive forces. The opportunity for a wetland to stabilize a shoreline is a function of the magnitude of erosion in the watershed as well as the erodability of adjacent lands. An increase in development around the lake complex will increase run -off and, ' therefore, the value of the wetland in terms of protecting the lake complex as well as the adjacent coastal marshes. The improvement of the wetland fringe width, gradation, continuity, and vegetative diversity that is proposed in this project will improve the wetland system with regard to bank/shoreline stabilization. ' 5.3.3 Pollutant Removal. This function refers to the ability of a wetland to retain or remove sediment, nutrients, and toxicants (e.g. heavy metals, oils, pesticides) as well as its opportunity to receive these pollutants. Opportunity is primarily affected by the source of water, land use in the watershed, and position in the landscape. Ability relates to the density, type, and extent of vegetation and gradient of the watershed. The location of the Horseshoe Lake Complex (next to estuarine marshes) and the fact that upland adjacent to the lake will be a residential development, make the wetland system extremely important for maintaining and /or improving the water quality of adjacent coastal marshes. Wetlands in urbanized watersheds (greater than 10% impervious surface) will have a greater opportunity to retain and remove nutrients from adjacent ' development. An increase in development around the lake complex will increase the value of the wetland to protect the integrity of the lake complex as well as the adjacent coastal marshes. As with bank/shore stabilization, the improvement in the wetland fringe width, gradation, continuity, and vegetative diversity will increase pollutant removal opportunity and ability. ' 5.3.4 Sensitive Watershed. The evaluation of this wetland value is based on the highest score received for any of the three water quality values. Since the proposed project will increase the values of the system in regard to water quality, the rating for this value also increases. ' 5.3.5 Travel Corridor. The ability of the Horseshoe Lake Complex to serve as a system enabling wildlife to move from one suitable habitat to another is limited, especially since the 83.61 acre Project Area is already isolated by surrounding residential development. Because of residential encroachment outside the Project Area, the existing Project Area is of low to moderate value as a terrestrial wildlife corridor. Therefore, travel corridor values are not substantial either before or ' after the project. ' Horseshoe Lake Complex at Landfall February 1, 1995 -22- a I ' 5.3.6 Special Ecological Attributes. This value is primarily associated with wetland areas that may serve as buffers for registered natural areas, wildlife refuges, state and national parks, ' sanctuaries, wild and scenic rivers, etc. Some freshwater marshes have received high ratings for this value; however, the alterations and origin of the marshes associated with Upper Lake and Horseshoe Lake areas are the result of major human - related disturbances. Post - project wetlands will replace or ' improve the ratings associated with any freshwater marsh. 5.3.7 Wildlife Habitat. Factors affecting the value of wetlands for wildlife habitat include ' diversity of vegetative structure, diversity of vegetative species (for both food and cover), surrounding land use, spatial patterns within and between wetlands, size of the wetland, and water quality and quantity. Generally, large, undisturbed wetlands that are near other wetlands and contain vegetation that is important for both wildlife food and cover receive the highest rating for this function. The availability of several wetland communities and a diverse mixed marsh community make the existing wetland complex attractive to wildlife. Despite the extensive disturbances to the area, the ' Horseshoe Lake Complex serves as an example that man - altered /created wetlands in this area can provide suitable habitat for some wildlife. However, the existing mixed herbaceous wetlands within the Project Area have limited wildlife value. The lack of vegetative diversity and structure, poorly ' developed leaf litter, and disturbed nature of this community contributed to its limited value. Post - project wetland communities are planned to contain a vegetative structure and diversity that is similar or better than existing communities (see Figure 9 and Plat 6). Because of improved aquatic habitat, the lake complex should be able to serve a larger population of aquatic feeding birds. Th (mixed marsh or wetland forest) and would offset any reduced wildlife values as a result of adjacent land use. �J 1 U �I F11 A review of the DEM wetland rating values for each community impacted by the proposed project activities indicates that wildlife values will increase for the system (Table 6).

Aquatic life value refers to the ability of a wetland to support fish, amphibians, reptiles, and invertebrates. Water regime, type of vegetation, interspersion of vegetation/water, and surrounding land use are all important factors affecting wetland value to aquatic life. However, increased open water and improved wetland fringes will increase available habitat for other wildlife aquatic species. Considering residential development will occur with or without the proposed project, the proposed project activities will provide better habitat for aquatic species than would be available without them. 5.3.9 Recreation/Education. This value refers to the use of a wetland for both consumptive (hunting, fishing) and non - consumptive forms of recreation and education. The value is based on the quality of the wetland as well as public access to the wetland. Wetlands with no public access have reduced ratings for this value since only private landowners may benefit from this value. Landfall proposes to preserve the improved Upper Lake and Horseshoe Lake and grant the Northeast New Hanover Conservancy a conservation easement to manage these areas. With this added protection and access, the education value of this area will increase. ' 5.3.10 Economic Value. Under the DEM system, this value is based on timber value, importance to hunting, and /or some value to commercial fish associated with wetlands. As such, the existing and future value of the Project Area wetlands is 0 and is so reflected in Tables 6,8,9, ' and 10. However, from Landfall's economic perspective, the improvement the lake - wetland complex will enhance property values and ultimately increase the tax base for New Hanover County. 5.4 Summary of Horseshoe Lake Maintenance Activities. Since its construction in the 1920s, Horseshoe Lake has served as a sediment trap to prevent run -off from upland activities into the coastal marsh areas of Middle Sound. Since 1984 this sedimentation has accelerated because of construction activities in the 256 acre drainage basin. Landfall proposes to return Horseshoe Lake to the conditions existing in 1984 to provide for continued stormwater and sediment control (Figure 10). In addition, successional development of shallow lake ecosystems is often accelerated by a process called eutrophication. Increased productivity associated with eutrophic lakes is often the result of the increased availability of nutrients. Shallow lakes naturally fill in with time and associated wetland communities also pass through a series of successional stages. A rapid increase in sediments and nutrients often accelerates wetland plant growth and productivity. Clearing of forest vegetation surrounding Upper Lake and Horseshoe Lake, even with the implementation of proper sedimentation control practices, has contributed to the accelerated sedimentation and invasion of cat - tails. ' Eutrophic lakes are biologically productive systems; however, they can result in loss of value for some functions. Degradation of lake systems due to eutrophication can create, 1) a decreased diversity in plant and animal communities, 2) a development of organic sediments, 3) algal blooms, ' 4) an excessive growth of undesirable plants, and 5) an accumulation of nutrients. In addition, the eutrophic conditions of freshwater lakes can adversely impact downstream riverine or saltmarsh areas. ' Horseshoe Lake Complex at Landfall February 1, 1995 -25- A project entitled "Water Quality In New Hanover County Tidal Creeks 1993- 1994 ", by the Center for Marine Science Research of the University of North Carolina at Wilmington (December 1994) ' concluded that stormwater detention ponds in the tidal areas of the County "detain water and suspended solids ", but "often have unacceptably high levels of chlorophyll a, coliform bacteria and /or phosphorus ". Further, "Larger regional stormwater management structures, such as Anne McCrary ' Pond, may be much more effective at removing nutrients and more easily monitored than numerous small ponds." Upper Lake and Horseshoe Lake (when returned to its 1984 conditions) will provide a stormwater retention system comparable in volume to the Anne McCrary Pond. Dredging of these systems will physically improve the basin by removing excess vegetation and sediment (along with the potential reduction of an internal nutrient source) and increasing the water storage capacity of the system. Short-term consequences associated with dredging include destruction of benthic and vegetative communities and reduced primary productivity due to increases in turbidity. ' The Clean Water Act does regulate open water (capable of attracting interstate commerce) under Section 404 jurisdiction. These open water areas can contribute to maintaining and improving functions associated with water quality (i.e., water storage, sediment and pollutant removal), and these ' functions should be considered when evaluating the importance of such areas.

Appropriate avoidance and minimization practices were considered and implemented. 2. The urbanization of land surrounding the wetland complex is unavoidable. The current mitigation plan builds on the assumption that wetlands in urban settings provide important water quality functions. Methods to improve the ecosystem include: 1) enlarging the system to increase benefits associated with water quality; and, 2) convert low quality, disturbed areas to higher valued wetland areas. Areas around Upper Lake and Horseshoe Lake will be enhanced by the replacement of mixed herbaceous areas with wetland communities (mixed marsh and wetland forest) more valuable to wildlife. Any mixed marsh or wetland forest impacted by the project will be mitigated with the creation/enhancement of similarly valued mixed marsh or wetland forest. 3. Wetland ratings for post project wetland communities will increase based on DEM's Wetland Rating System (Tables 8, 9, and 10). 4. In the spirit of the Clean Water Act, open water is regulated and does provide some functions associated with wetlands, and thus should be considered for mitigation credit. Compensatory wetlands mitigation will offset the loss of wetland functions and values impacted by the proposed project. Wetland mitigation through restoration, creation, enhancement, and preservation will result in a mitigation ratio of 2:1 for all wetlands impacted and a ratio of 3:1 for natural wetlands impacted. A detailed mitigation plan (Plats 6 and 7) has been provided by Paton/Zucchino and Associates, P.A. and is summarized in Tables 1 and 2. -28- Horseshoe Lake Complex at Landfall February 1, 1995 LJI Table 9.

Nine plant communities (three upland and six wetland communities) were delineated by interpretation of aerial photographs and verified in the field. The communities were mapped as a mylar overlay (Figure 1) on a January 1994 color aerial photograph at a scale of 1 inch equals 200 feet. Communities were defined by vegetation composition and physiognomic structure, and were characterized with species identified at sites within each community. Most plant communities are dynamic and evolve with respect to the surrounding physical environment. Plant communities change and mature through the process known as ecological succession. As a consequence of succession or disturbance, some of the habitats in the study area represent intermediate stages or ecotonal phases of the distinct plant communities described here. These areas have been included with the most characteristic or representative community. The three upland communities included mixed herbaceous assemblage (DM), shrub -scrub (DS), and upland forest (DF). The six jurisdictional communities included open water (OW), mixed herbaceous assemblage (MH), cat -tail marsh (CT), mixed marsh (MM), shrub -scrub (SS), and wetland forest (WF). The following discussion characterizes each community. Plant names conform to those listed in the "National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: Southeast (Region 2)" (Reed 1988). 2.0 SECTION 404 JURISDICTIONAL COMMUNITIES Current jurisdictional areas in the study area are more extensive than historic conditions. The soil survey of New Hanover County (1977) indicated only a narrow band of hydric soil, Torhunta loamy fine sand, through the study area. However, additional wetland areas have formed as the result of excavation activities in the non -hydric Lakeland soil series. The excavation of sand (for borrow material) down to a clay layer has allowed water to pool in low relief areas and created patchy wetland conditions. ' 2.1 Open Water Open water in the study area is the result of human - related disturbances. The open water ' of Horseshoe Lake was impounded by the placement of berms perpendicular to a natural drain. The relatively restricted watershed of the lake drains via culvert through the berm into coastal u Horseshoe Lake Complex at Landfall ' marshes adjacent to the Intracoastal Waterway. Vegetation types growing adjacent to the culvert in the pond are typical of freshwater conditions and are not characteristic of salt or brackish ' tolerant species. Excavation of areas upstream of the lake has created additional open water areas. The open waters created by excavation differ from the open water of Horseshoe Lake by being deeper and having relatively steep -sided edges. Much of the open water in Horseshoe Lake ' is shallow and contains beds of submersed aquatic vegetation dominated by hornwort (Cenatophyllum demersum) and pondweeds (Potamogeton spp). Most of open water in the excavated areas is unvegetated. 2.2 Cat -tail Marsh ' Relatively homogeneous stands of cat -tail (Typha latifolia) occur in several areas especially along the edge of open water associated with the older Horseshoe Lake. This community appears to be flooded year- round. Carolina mosquito fern (Azolla caroliniana) and tduckweeds (Lemna gibba) are found within some cat -tail areas and along the edge of open water areas. The edges of this community often grade into species found in the mixed marsh. ' 2.3 Mixed Marsh Mixed marsh represents a diverse assemblage of aquatic vegetation. This community appears to be flooded and or saturated near the surface nearly year- round. Much of this community is found on areas excavated in recent years. Dominant vegetation is primarily a variety of rushes (Juncus spp.). Common species include soft rush (Juncus effussus), turnflower rush (J. biflorus), big -head rush (J. megacephalus), creeping rush (J. repens), grass -leaf rush (J. marginatus), needle -pod rush (J. scirpoides), and beakrushes (Rhynchospora elliottii and other Rhynchospora spp.). The wettest areas were often dominated by alligator weed (Alternanthera philoxeroides), pickerelweed (Pontederia cordata), creeping seedbox (Ludwigia repens), and dense -flower smartweed (Polygonum densiflorum).. Other species encountered include two- flower bladderwort (Utricularia biflora), bishop -weed (Ptilimnium capillaceum), white -top- sedge (Dichromena colorata), Maryland meadow - beauty (Rhexia mariana), shallow sedge (Carex lurida), bushy seedbox (Ludwigia alternifolia), lizard's tail (Saururus cernuus), penny- ' wort (Hydrocotyle sp.), Asian coinleaf (Centella asiatica), water - spider orchid (Habenaria repens), Carolina lilaeopsis (Lilaeopsis attenuata), water -lilly (Nymphea odorata) and soft -stem bulrush (Scirpus validus). ' 2.4 Mixed Herbaceous Assemblage Wetland areas dominated by mixed herbaceous species appear to be seasonally or temporally saturated. Some of this community contains unvegetated sand /clay and has been ' disturbed due to mowing. Many of these wetland areas appear to have been created by the excavation of sand down to a clay layer. Water pooled on poorly drained areas of this clay layer have allowed the formation of these jurisdictional mixed herbaceous communities. i Horseshoe Lake Complex at Landfall u 1 Dominant species include rushes (Juncus spp.), sedges (Carex spp., Cyperus spp.), and other herbaceous species. Other common species include bishop -weed, shallow sedge, bushy seedbox, beakrushes, Maryland meadow - beauty, white- top- sedge, penny -wort, Asian coinleaf, straw - colored flatsedge (Cyperus strigosus), broom -sedge (Andropogon virginicus), Olney's bulrush (Scirpus americanus), rose - gentian (Sabatia sp.), and broom panic grass (Dichanthelium scoparium). 2.5 Shrub -scrub Some shrub -scrub areas appear to be wet seasonally, while some appear to exist in areas inundated nearly year- round. A thin band of shrubs are found along an old silt fence that almost surrounds the lake area. Dominant species include southern bayberry (Myrica cerifera), black willow (Salix nigra), loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), sweet gum (Liquidambar styracifZua), and some eastern false - willow (Baccharis halimifolia). 2.6 Wetland Forest The upper ends of several drains are characteristic of alluvial forest vegetation and a narrow band of wetland forest exists along the "island" nearly surrounded by Horseshoe Lake. Common canopy species of this community include red maple (Acer rubrum), sweet gum, black gum (Nyssa sylvatica), red bay (Persea borbonia), water oak (Quercus nigra), laurel oak (Quercus laurifolia), and tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera). Common shrub species include southern bayberry, fetter -bush (Lyonia lucida) and red bay. Common herbs and vines include netted chainfern (Woodwardia areolata), panic grass (Panicum sp.), Nepal microstegium (Eulalia viminea), jack -in- the - pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum), muscadine grape (Fitis rotundifolia), Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), southeast decumaria (Decumaria barbara), and greenbriers (Smiliax spp.) 3.0 UPLAND (NON- SECTION 404 JURISDICTIONAL) COMMUNITIES 3.1 Mixed Herbaceous Assemblaize Most of the upland areas dominated by mixed herbaceous species could be designated as human - dominated land, as most is regularly mowed to maintain the area as an open habitat. Vegetation of the mixed herbaceous assemblage contains many of the same species found in the jurisdictional mixed herbaceous community. However, broom sedge is a more important species in the upland community. Other species found in this community include crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis), vasey grass (Paspalum urvillei), sandspur (Cenchrus longispinus), dog - fennel (Eupatorium capillifolium), richardia (Richardia brasiliensis), lespedeza (Lespedeza virginica), white -top fleabane (Erigeron annuus), slender fragrant golden -rod (Euthamia minor), cudweed (Gnaphalium obtusifolium), and broom panic grass. This community often grades into other adjacent communities and occurs in disturbed sites within other communities. Horseshoe Lake Complex at Landfall 1 3.2 Shrub -scrub ' Upland shrub -scrub represents a transitional community, dominated by the same species found in jurisdictional shrub - scrub, with the exception of black willow. Black willow is found primarily in the jurisdictional shrub -scrub community. 3.3 Upland Forest ' Several different forest types occur in areas designated as upland forest. Some areas are comprised of primarily live oak (Quercus virginica) and laurel oak, while other areas may be dominated by loblolly pine. Most upland forest is comprised of a mixture of pine and hardwood species. Common species include large -flower magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora), American holly (Ilex opaca), yaupon (Ilex vomitoria), beauty -berry (Callicarpa americana), red buckeye (Aesculus pavia), muscadine grape, Virginia creeper, poison ivy, ebony spleenwort (Asplenium ' platyneuron), and greenbriers. Horseshoe Lake Complex at Landfall ' APPENDIX C NEW POND AT HORSESHOE LAKE LANDFALL /PEMBROKE JONES ESTATES 1 ROUTING SUMMARY JULY 25 1994 LFA -94020 1 THE JOHN R. McADAMS COMPANY, INC. From the hydrologic analysis, the 256 -acre drainage area has an average runoff Curve Number (CN) of 74. Runoff volume equals the runoff depth (Q *) over the drainage area. The precipitation depth (P) required to produce the runoff volume that equals the storage volume can be determined. This can then be correlated with precipitation charts to predict a return period, which will give the expected frequency of inundation of the mitigation areas in the storage zone depths. ' For a storage volume of 635,780 CF, a runoff depth (Q *) of 0.684 -inch is required. This is produced by a precipitation depth (P) of 2.63 inches. Referencing the National Weather Bureau TP -40 for a 6 hour storm in the ' Wilmington, North Carolina region, this corresponds to a return period of approximately one year. Thus, the full storage pool will be anticipated to fill completely annually. Water quality design requires storage volume for the runoff from 1.5 inches of rain over the impervious surfaces in the drainage basin. Discounting the impervious surface areas in the more distant portions of the drainage basin (which are handled locally within infiltration trenches and ponds), a storage volume of 220,600 CF can be expected from the impervious surfaces adjacent to the pond project area. This includes the project area, streets, and residences. ' Residences are assumed to be 33 % impervious. The depth associated with this runoff volume is slightly over 4 inches (4.4 ' inches). The frequency associated with this design storm is not clearly defined by DEM or TP -40. It would be reasonable to expect several storms of this magnitude annually. 1i F THE JOHN R. McADAMS COMPANY, INC. ' Summary of Analysis The proposed pond will have a normal pool at elevation 4.50 M.S.L. with a ' surface area of 594,160 SF (13.64 acres). This normal pool elevation will be maintained by a set of five inverted siphons, constructed of 8 -inch PVC pipe and located in the face of the outlet structure. u l� u L 0 A 12 -inch storage pool will be provided between the inverted siphons and the principal spillway. The principal spillway is an opening in the outlet box five feet long by 18 inches high. It will act primarily as a weir, except during the higher stages of the larger storms, when it will function as an orifice. A 30- inch reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) will connect the outlet box to the existing Horseshoe Pond, immediately downstream from the new pond. An emergency spillway is provided at elevation 8.50 M.S.L. This elevation is slightly above the expected flood elevation of the 50 -year storm. The spillway will be trapezoidal, with a bottom ten feet wide and 4:1 sides. The spillway will be located in native soil (not in the dam's berm area) to minimize the possibility of a breach. The top of the dam will be 1.5 feet above the emergency spillway. Routing Results The anticipated peak storms are greatly diminished through all of the storms examined. This occurs largely due to the expansive flat area of wetland mitigation that circle the proposed pond. These flat areas, coupled with the bank and terrace areas around the pond, provide a large storage volume with a relatively small increase in pool depth. This feature is reflected in the time required to drain the 12 -inch deep storage pool. The storage pool, located between the inverted siphons and the principal spillway, has two functions. It provides a zone of variable inundation to support the wetland mitigation areas, and it provides a water quality settling pool for the "first flush" runoff from impervious surfaces. The target draindown time for such pools is generally 2 to 5 days. Five inverted siphons constructed of 8 -inch PVC pipe area required to return to normal pool in a time of 4.63 days. This is a direct result of a large storage volume in a flat, low -head system (635,780 CF in a 12 -inch depth). THE JOHN R. McADAMS COMPANY, INC.

I have reviewed the proposal to dredge an additional 1.22 acres of cattail marsh in order to minimize the invasion of cattail into adjacent mitigation sites. The letter (June 10, 1996) from Jeff Richter states that the mitigation sites have been planted with suitable species, but the species were not native to this particular site. This statement is confusing. If the planted species are not local ecotypes, then that may help explain why cattails are threatening the mitigation site. However, the proximity of the mitigation site to a stand of cattail is a legitimate concern. Cattail is a very aggressive species, and can tolerate a range of water depths. The applicant proposes to replant the 1.22 acres with "high quality wetland vegetation." However, it is not clear what species will replace cattail. Moreover, it may be difficult to transplant any species in an area with standing water, particularly when the depth of water will be increased as a result of dredging. I have no objection to the proposal but I would like to see a list of species that may be transplanted. . . y, , *� DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY WILMINGTON DISTRICT, CORPS OF ENGINEERS P.O.

The work authorized by the original permit will result in impacts to 7.78 acres of wetlands. The proposed modification to the original permit requests that the applicant be allowed to dredge an additional 1.22 acres of cattail marsh. One purpose of the request is an attempt to remove as many cattails as possible, thereby reducing the potential for cattail colonization within recently planted mitigation areas on the Upper Lake. While these areas have been planted with suitable species, the species are not native to this particular site:` The cattails are native and haveA� quickly invaU�---d and dominated similar suitable areas. The applicant is aware that they will not be able to completely eliminate cattails from the site, but they hope to make control of cattails more manageable, at least until the planted species have become well adapted to their planted site. In addition to the removal and control of cattails, another benefit the applicant foresees is that a larger area will be available for dredging to a deeper depth, thereby eliminating (or reducing) the possibility of future algae problems associated with shallow ponds. Please note that the applicant will plant 1.22 acres of high quality wetland vegetation at the site. The purpose of this letter is to request that you review the proposal and contact the undersigned within 14 days of the date of this letter if you have any concerns with the proposal. Should any germane concerns be raised by any Federal or State review agency, we will advertise the proposed modification by Public Notice. However, if no objections or concerns are raised, we will consider the request to be minor in nature and will modify the existing permit accordingly.

The permit was issued in October 1995 to allow impacts to 7.78 acres of wetlands for the creation of an enlarged lake (Upper Lake) and maintenance activities in the vicinity of Horseshoe Lake. The project involved the excavation of 1.16 acres of cattail marsh and 3.00 acres of open water in the existing Horseshoe Lake, the inundation and fill of 1.28 acres of man -made wetlands and 2.29 acres of natural wetlands for the creation of the Upper Lake, and the fill of 0.05 acre of natural wetlands for the construction of a road. Mitigation to offset the impacts of the work includes the creation of 3.24 acres of wetlands from existing uplands, the restoration of 0.56 acre of prior converted wetlands, the enhancement of 4.64 acres of existing wetlands, the creation of 4.73 acres of open -water habitat, and the preservation of 12.32 acres of existing wetlands and open -water habitat. The Public Notice and Department of Army Permit associated with this project are included within Appendix A. The proposed project (including background information, affected environment, project design, environmental consequences, and mitigation measures) is described and summarized in the "Environmental Assessment Horseshoe Lake Complex Project at Landfall New Hanover County, North Carolina - February 1, 1995," an application for an Individual 404 permit on file with the Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE). 2.0 MITIGATION SITE LOCATION The proposed project is located near the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, and off Arboretum Drive in the Horseshoe Lake area of the Landfall Community in New Hanover County, North Carolina. The Landfall Community, a 2,250 -acre tract formerly known as the Pembroke Jones Estate, is roughly bordered by Eastwood Road (US 74) to the south, the Intracoastal Waterway to the east, Howe Creek to the north, and a Carolina Power and Light powerline easement near Military Cutoff to the west (Figure 1). 3.0 PROJECT GOALS The purpose of the project is to create an aesthetically pleasing lake area for future development, as well as to enhance wetland functions in an area of disturbed wetland. Goals associated with the project include: 1) controlling stormwater run -off from adjacent residential areas, 2) functioning as a settling pond to protect the marshes and open water areas of Middle Sound, from nutrients and sediments associated with residential development, 3) enhancing a degraded wetland complex, 4) providing improved wildlife habitat, 5) creating a setting more attractive to the adjoining residential subdivision, and 6) providing a mechanism for wetland /water management. 4.0 SUCCESS CRITERIA Success criteria proposed with the permit application are included in Appendix B. Special conditions of the issued permit which differ from the proposed criteria are centered around Special Condition numbers 5 and 7. The two conditions are summarized below. N 1) "Hydrology will be maintained such that the soils are either saturated within 12 inches of the surface, ponded, or flooded, for at least 12.5 percent of the growing season under reasonably average climatic conditions." (Special Condition #5) 2) "Survival rates of each species will be at least 80 percent of the number planted." (Special Condition #7) The vegetation success criteria were discussed with Mr. Jeff Richter of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) on 14 December 1996 relative to applying the "80 percent of the number planted" to the relative cover of herbaceous vegetation and using the ACOE guidelines for hardwood mitigation for the trees. 5.0 PRE - CONSTRUCTION SITE CHARACTERISTICS The original Horseshoe Lake was created in the 1920s by impounding a natural drain and possibly some excavation. Horseshoe Lake is "U" or horseshoe - shaped with the ends pointing toward the southeast. A high ground berm separates the Horseshoe Lake from tidal marsh along the Intracoastal Waterway. A watershed of approximately 260 acres drains naturally into the lake and a culvert connects the lake with the marsh. The presence of cattails (Typha iatifoiia) in the lake suggests that the lake is elevated enough to prevent regular saltwater intrusion. A water body (called Upper Lake) has been created above Horseshoe Lake as a result of various excavation and borrow activities. The excavated material was primarily sand and was used for residential development. Sand was removed from some areas down to a clay layer which ponded water and created the original Upper Lake. Vegetation of the area was largely comprised of early successional species characteristic of disturbed areas. Plant communities of the Horseshoe Lake area were delineated by CZR in 1994 and are described in the permit application. 6.0 SITE PREPARATION Project details and design were submitted with the February 1995 permit package. Discussions with the ACOE relative to refined project specifications are found in Appendix A. Preparation of the site involved considerable earth work. Major earth work occurred during January through April 1996, with additional repair and grading work continuing throughout the year. Excavation of material from the Upper Lake area to appropriate elevations required the removal of approximately 75,000 cubic yards. Careful attention was focused on fine grading the planting shelves where elevation and corresponding water depth were crucial to achieving a successful mitigation project. Some planting shelves were undercut and refilled with topsoil to enhance substrate material for planted wetland vegetation. Approximately 4,800 cubic yards of unsuitable material was removed and topsoil was added to improve the substrate of the planting shelves. A dam outlet structure and associated piping, along with an earthen berm, was constructed between the original Horseshoe Lake and the modified Upper Lake. The slopes and terraces along the perimeter of Upper Lake were also fine - graded. In addition, a groundwater well was installed near the northeastern corner of the lake to supply water as needed to manage the lake's water level. 7.0 1996 "AS- BUILT" MITIGATION SITE CHARACTERISTICS 7.1 Topography and Soils. The Upper Lake was contoured with gradually sloping shelves or terraces along the edges and open water in the middle of the lake. Areas adjacent to the original Horseshoe Lake were also contoured and planted with wetland vegetation. Maintenance of the lower lake via removal of accumulated sediments and recently invading cattails was initiated in September 1996. Elevation of the normal water level in Upper Lake is 5.0 feet above sea level. An as -built 3 drawing depicting contours of the site, surveyed monitoring well locations, and the ends of herbaceous sampling transects is presented as Figure 2. Upper Lake occupies approximately acres (5.82 acres of unvegetated open water and 6.0 acres of wetland via creation, enhancement, and restoration techniques). An additional 2.44 acres of wetland mitigation (via creation, enhancement, restoration) occurs below the dam in association with the original Horseshoe Lake. Soils of the site have been excavated, contoured, and in some areas backfilled with topsoil. Soils in the vicinity of the 21 monitoring wells were collected using a hand auger. Soil was collected from the top 6 to 8 inches of the surface, mixed, and dried from each site. Samples were submitted to the N.C. Department of Agriculture for analysis and the results are presented in Table 1. 7.2 Transplanted Vegetation. Wetland vegetation of the site was planted in May 1996. Sixteen herbaceous species and eight woody species were planted at the site (Figure 3). Information on planted vegetation, including a species list, wetland indicator status, spacing, and quantity of each species planted, is found in Table 2. The terraces along the perimeter of Upper Lake were planted with herbaceous species at densities of approximately every 2 to 3 feet apart (i.e. 2 to 3 -foot centers). Woody vegetation was spaced at ten -foot centers and consisted of containerized (3, 7, and 15 gallon) plants. Surrounding land was seeded with annual grasses and covered with straw to prevent erosion. 8.0 SITE MONITORING A monitoring plan titled "Proposed Wetland Mitigation Monitoring Plan and Services Associated with the Horseshoe Lake Wetland Complex for 1996 through 1998" was submitted to the ACOE on 22 January 1996 and a revised version on 23 April 1996. This plan was accepted by the ACOE, and the plan and acceptance letter are found in Appendix B. The monitoring plan is based primarily on the monitoring of 8.44 acres of wetland mitigation (via enhancement, creation, and restoration techniques). 8.1 Hydrology. Site hydrology is being monitored by measuring water levels through the use of shallow water monitoring wells in conjunction with semi - continuous monitors and a staff gauge. Monitoring well locations and elevations have been surveyed (Figure 4 and Table 3), and water levels are checked at least monthly by CZR. A shallow monitoring well consists of a 1.5 -foot length of 1.25 -inch diameter PVC screen (0.1- inch slot) coupled to a 1 -foot 1.25 -inch diameter solid PVC riser. Each well was inserted into the ground on the terraces found along the perimeter of the lake as well as the contoured areas below the dam associated with Horseshoe Lake. Sand from the site was used to repack the hole around the well and any clay dug from the hole was used to repack the seal at the surface. The riser is topped with a removable cap which allows access for measuring and prevents objects from entering the well. Six semi - continuous water level monitors (model WL -40 units produced by Research Data Systems) were installed at the site. A WL -40 consists of a battery - powered instrument capable of measuring and storing water table fluctuations across a 40 -inch range. A microprocessor with programmable reading intervals stores up to 510 data points. The WL -40s were installed in hand - augered holes approximatly 24 to 30 inches deep, allowing the remainder of the well to extend above the ground. This set -up allows the monitor to record fluctuations in water levels both below ground or above the ground (i.e. the lake level). The units at Horseshoe Lake were programmed to take measurements every 1.5 hours. This interval allows the collection of the maximum number of data points within a one month time period. Down - loading of data is obtained through wireless infrared transmission to a hand held computer /calculator. 4 X CL E 0 U Y J O L N CD Cl) O L r r _N co F- U) ml E m CO D. 0 M m E 0 t U d 7 R m 2 m 7 7 7 N N 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 N 7 N 7 7 7 -,t 7 CO O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O 04 04 U) to a' M a0 M CO W .�- 1n M O N M M O a W M m N N 00 m o) U V' .�- N N M U C ^ M •m- N N M .^- M M Lo N c a .N- - a0 N N - tT to cn N M T N n c t2 n b 00 N N N N (4 c0 to L d' M M m c0 C 7 M 0 m N M M N M (D c0 O M N N t0 M to M M cf a m T In co U r, co c0 n n 00 to ID c0 to n N c0 n d' t0 In N 10 0 Y (A s N M - 2 r W t2 �'! t2 M .N- N tD M M lL t0°o 't N to N �2 .M- M .M- N N O Lo O O M = N n 0o O O M 00 M Un N N M n N O O 0o a tci LO a Lo w 0 m v LO tri Lo Lo tci co ui It w Lo tri W) Lo I� u ^ m m co O a O m M O O O O O O O O O O O N M M l0 T M M M N m to n n M O n CD to m oo M n 00 m 00 c0 m c0 co 00 00 CA co a n n 10 cD CA W n M c0 N n co n 10 O O co n M cn N co O co V' to U 6 to 6 to O M M M M M M N V d' M M L2 CA to O O M t w M O M M N co 00 N CD In 3 � 7 � � � N N O to N It c0 O n n co O c0 OD M CAD c0 c0 n O 0D N N O CO N c0 M c0 c0 r O co co a CID 00 _ O O '- O O O — O O O O '- O O O o o CO c0 N Oo OD m m to m m m to m m to m to m m M to m LO (0 m io ° c } c c } } } � } } c } } } c } } c Y } c } O O 0 0 00 0 0 0 0 0 � o 0i N .- N .- — N N — O 10 c} N N CO x a M c0 tC> cn tO z a 4 c0 13 co m w co c0 c0 Lo lY K It lL w CL Lo CL cc cc S 2 x Cr } Cn cc cc lL } } } } } } } } m } } } } } } } Lo m } } } O O O O O O O O to O O O O O O O CV Co O O O a C m N M co c0 n 00 0) ed,- ^ c0 M CA O C m N N 0 3 �-d V N8 O 0 A o m g ,•wrww,q• y ���rr�rulrq�o 2 C >z e4 2 ykynFl a O b T v �vr 30� a po °- 0 D ?

Tables depicting monthly rainfall will be included in each annual report. 8.2 Vegetation. Areas planted with herbaceous species are monitored and sampled by a qualitative assessment of relative coverage. Eighty -three one - square meter quadrats (plots) were located along 11 transects around the Upper Lake. No herbaceous plantings occurred below the dam around Horseshoe Lake. Transects are oriented in a perpendicular direction from upland areas around the lake and extend toward the open water of the lake. Quadrats are located every 20 feet along the transects and characterize the zonation and diversity of planted areas. The relative coverage for all species encountered were estimated for each quadrat. Each transect is located in the vicinity of a monitoring well. Approximately 50 percent of the planted woody species of the site were flagged and permanently marked with aluminum tags. The height and root collar diameter of each tagged individual were subsequently recorded. Trees from all planted areas or sections (see Figure 4) were sampled. Every other individual for each species was tagged and measured. Photographs were taken at permanently established points during the vegetation sampling period to provide visual documentation of the wetland mitigation areas. Other photographs showing particular on -site features are included in Appendix C. 8.3 Reports. Two reports, a baseline /as -built report and an end -of -year annual report, were planned for 1996. However, the damage from two hurricanes (Bertha and Fran) irr the area resulted in continual modifications of the site to maintain the original design of wetland areas. Heavy rains in the area resulted in the erosion of the adjacent shoreline and accretion of sediment onto the edges of the planting shelves. Discussions and on -site meetings with the ACOE resulted in the decision to prepare a single end -of -year report that summarizes the 1996 activities associated with the project. The baseline /as -built report and end -of -year annual report will be submitted in 1997. 9.0 SUMMARY OF DATA COLLECTED IN 1996 9.1 Rainfall - 1996. Rainfall data from January through November 1996 were provided by the New Hanover International Airport weather station located approximately seven miles northwest of Landfall. The rainfall data were used to assist in the analysis of the shallow ground water data. Monthly precipitation totals recorded from the airport are found in Figure 5. Deviations (in inches) from monthly averages were: -1.15 in January, -2.42 in February, +0.38 in March, -0.27 in April, -1.25 in May, +2.62 in June, +5.24 in July, -2.19 in August, +8.20 in September, +3.10 in October, and -1.99 in November. Precipitation totals for February and November were below one standard deviation of the monthly averages, and totals for July and September were above one standard deviation of the monthly average. During 1996, 61.68 inches of rain were recorded through November. The cumulative year -to -date precipitation was 10.67 inches above the average for the year through November. Much of the above average rain can be attributed to the rains associated with the passage of hurricane Bertha in July and hurricane Fran in September. Rainfall data collected from Landfall indicated that even more rain fell at Landfall during June (1.18 inches more) and September (6.67 inches more). Several rain events exceeded 4 inches in a short time span and contributed to atypical climatic conditions during 1996. 9.2 Hydrology. Water levels of the site were measured through the use of shallow water monitoring wells in conjunction with semi - continuous water level monitors (WL -40s). Fifteen monitoring wells and six semi - continuous monitors were installed in early June 1996. Nine shallow monitoring wells and five semi - continuous monitors were installed around the Upper Lake, and six shallow monitoring wells and one semi - continuous monitor were installed around Lower Horseshoe Lake. A staff gauge was installed 11 i cz E E CJI • \ z V r Z l ^w i 0 (-1-a r/ E w o ° O o Z � co U � T O � CL `W VJ �_ I - T UQ � ^c'' i W O z a T Q CD CL Q co co I L Z O Q yM � y LO IT M N —0 O 00 N O to It c'7 N T O T T T T T T Iluju!eu jo sayoul 12 in the upper portion of the Upper Lake. Monitoring well locations and elevations were surveyed and recorded. Water levels were checked at least monthly during 1996 by CZR (Table 4). Hydrology data were analyzed to determine if the area represented by the monitoring wells met the hydrology requirements necessary for regulation as Section 404 jurisdictional wetlands. The data were analyzed using information provided in the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (U.S. Department of the Army 1987) and an ACOE clarification memorandum (7 October 1991). The presence of wetland hydrology was evaluated on the number of consecutive days the water table was within 12 inches of the surface during the growing season. The growing season for the site is based on the "28 degrees Fahrenheit or lower" temperature threshold at a frequency of "5 years in 10" and extends from 27 February to 26 November (271) days. This information is based on dates from New Hanover County (New Hanover County soil survey, U.S. Department of Agriculture 1977). The ground elevations (feet above sea level) at the well sites ranged from 4.4 (Well #1) to 6.6 (Well #20). Only one of the fourteen monitoring sites associated with the upper lake was not located on the contoured shelves around the lake. Well #8 (elevation of 5.3 feet above sea level) was located in a drain adjacent to the lake that was planted with cypress trees. Only one well, well #20 associated with the Lower Horseshoe Lake, did not appear to exhibit wetland hydrology above 12.5 percent of the growing season in 1996. Well #20 was located at an elevation of 6.6 feet above sea level and represents an area of less than a third of an acre. Because the normal lake level is 5.0 feet above sea level and most of the wells were located on shelves around the lake, the water level was near or above the surface at most well sites for the majority of the growing season. Each of the sites with semi - continuous monitors exceeded the wetland hydrology for over 12.5 percent of the growing season during 1996 (Appendix D). Data from all fourteen monitoring sites associated with the upper lake indicate that all 14 sites have exceeded the wetland hydrology criterion. Most sites exhibited water levels above the ground surface for over 12.5 percent of the growing season. Water levels of the site are largely controlled by the outlet structures at the dam between the lakes and the outlet associated with the original Lower Horseshoe Lake. Because of these structures, water levels of the mitigation sites are less responsive to rainfall events compared to water levels in more natural settings. The purpose of the outlet structures and supplemental well was to create a setting which allowed the management of water levels at the site. One of the key factors in achieving a wetland fringe around the lake will be the management of appropriate water levels to encourage and maintain wetland vegetation. 9.3 Vegetation 9.3.1 Herbaceous Vegetation. Vegetation of the site was monitored along 11 transects (identified as "A" through "K" in Figure 4). The transacts were located on the shelves planted with herbaceous wetland plants. The locations and elevations of sampling transects were surveyed and are listed in Table 5. Of the 83 quadrats sampled along the transects, 8 quadrats were in areas not planted but located in areas designated as preservation areas. Data recorded from each of the 1 -meter square quadrats during June and September 1996 are found in Appendix E. The average percent coverage of quadrats with herbaceous vegetation increased from 9.7 percent in June to 20.4 percent in September 1996. Despite considerable shoreline erosion and sedimentation into the lake from heavy rains during the summer, the average coverage of herbaceous species on the planted shelves increased from 3.3 percent in June 1996 to 21.5 percent in September 1996. Vegetation coverage in preservation areas along the lakeshore decreased from 68.8 percent to 13 I �rA? 6 1 �\ % e- C X a) O.

The number of quadrats with vegetation remained the same on the planted shelves, but decreased in the preservation areas (Table 7). The decrease of vegetation in some preservation parcels is the result of increased water levels and damage from hurricane Fran. Twenty -three species were documented from the quadrats soon after planting in early June 1996. Forty -eight species were documented from the quadrats in September 1996. In September 1996, the frequency of occurrence was highest for sheathed flatsedge (Cyperus haspan) and hairy umbrella -sedge (Fuirena squarrosa), which occurred in 38 percent of the sampled quadrats. Both of these species are naturally invading annuals that are common in recently disturbed low elevation areas. A summary on the occurrence of planted species within planned planting zones is found in Table 8. The status of planted herbaceous species during 1996 is summarized in Table 9. Species showing increases in a frequency of occurrence between June and September 1996 included smooth water hysop (Bacopa monnierr), lemon bacopa (Bacopa caroiiniana), red ludwigia (Ludwigia repens), pickerel weed (Pontederia cordata), arrow arum (Pe/tandra virginica), and canna lily (Canna fiacida). Species showing sharp declines in a frequency of occurrence included cinnamon fern (Osmunda cinnamomea) and fragrant water lily (Nymphaea odorata). 9.3.2 Woody Vegetation. A total of 824 woody individuals were tagged and measured (Table 10). Using this number of tagged individuals, and the fact that half the planted trees were tagged, it is concluded that approximately 1648 individuals were planted. Bald cypress (Taxodium distichum) and pond cypress (Taxodium ascenders) comprised 53 percent of the planted individuals. All other species comprised less than 12 percent of the total number of individuals planted. A minimum of 675 individuals of the total 824 individuals planted were alive in November 1996. It is anticipated that additional trees may be added to the total surviving after a survey of mortality in the Spring of 1997. Overall, a minimum of 82 percent of the woody individuals planted survived the first growing season. A density of approximately 337 planted "trees" per acre was estimated at the site during November 1996. Percent survival was highest for red maple (96 percent), sweet gum (95 percent), bald /pond cypress (91 percent), and water ash (89 percent) (Table 11). Loblolly bay had the lowest survival at 4 percent. The lack of a rich organic substrate and stresses associated with the passage of two hurricanes are believed to be the most important factors in the mortality of woody species. 9.4 Wildlife Observations. Observations of wildlife and wildlife sign were recorded in conjunction with other sampling activities. One amphibian, three reptile, fifty bird, and four mammal species were recorded at the site during May through November 1996. The shallow water habitats associated with the open water of the lakes, in conjunction with the site's proximity to other coastal habitats, account for the attraction to the area by waterbirds. Despite the construction activities throughout the year, numerous wildlife species often associated with wetlands have been documented at the site. A summary of the wildlife encountered at the site is found in Table 12. 9.5 Summary of 1996 Observations. • Major construction of the Upper Lake and planting of wetland vegetation were completed in May 1996. • The passage of two hurricanes (Bertha in July and Fran in September) through the region resulted in well above average rainfall amounts and damage to the Horseshoe Lake complex. Fran was particularly destructive with winds in excess of 100 miles per hour and a storm surge that resulted in the complete inundation of the site with sea water. All of the planted shelves were covered with a minimum of 3 to 4 feet of sea water for several hours. Wrack left from the surge indicates that sea water flooded to near the 12 foot contour. The storm surge breached the emergency spillway section of the dam at elevation 8.6 feet above sea 16 Table 6.

Heavy rains resulted in considerable erosion along the perimeter of the lake and sedimentation into the lake. The storm surge also resulted in the accumulation and deposition of several hundred cubic yards of storm debris (logs, timbers, marsh grasses, etc.) on the planting shelves; the deposition and removal of storm debris from the planting shelves resulted in additional damage to shoreline vegetation. Also, inundation of the lakes with sea water resulted in considerable stress from saltwater. Salinity, in deeper areas of the lakes was recorded at 11 parts per thousand (ppt) in the Upper Lake and 17 ppt in the Lower Horseshoe Lake on 13 September 1996 about one week after the storm. Surface water salinity was between 1 to 2 ppt during this same period. Intrusion of salt water and wind -blown salt resulted in the defoliation of many tree leaves and "salt burn" on much of the herbaceous vegetation. Rains immediately after the storm surge probably helped wash some salt from plants, yet some salinity has remained in the lower, deep -water areas of the lake. • Rainfall amounts were well above average during the 1996 growing season and were above normal during July, September, and October. • Soils in the vicinity of 20 of the 21 monitoring wells were saturated within 12 inches of the surface for over 12.5 percent of the growing season. Most of these sites also had water above the ground surface over 12.5 percent of the growing season. Only one well (number 20), representing an area less than a third of an acre below the dam, did not meet wetland hydrology for over 12.5 percent of the growing season. • The WL -40 semi - continuous water level recorders were affected by apparent iron deposits on the probes which wicked water higher than actual water levels. This false reading indicated that water levels were generally 1 to 8 inches higher than true readings. Attempts to reduce this build -up of deposits were not effective. Readings reported in this report reflect actual WL -40 measurements. No modifications to the data were incorporated. Even if 8 inches were subtracted from all WL -40 readings, the wells would still exhibit wetland hydrology for over 12.5 percent of the growing season. • Survival of planted woody vegetation was 82 percent. Survival was highest for red maple and lowest for loblolly bay. Density of surviving woody species was estimated at 337 individuals per acre. • Survival (based on the number of quadrats in which a species occurred) for planted herbaceous vegetation was highest for pickerelweed, arrow arum, and canna lily. Species showing poor survival included cinnamon fern and fragrant water lily. Many of the water lilies were uprooted and eaten by feral Canada geese and mute swans during the two weeks after planting. A series of string lines were suspended over larger patches of planted vegetation in attempt to discourage waterfowl from feeding on the recently planted herbaceous species. • Coverage of herbaceous vegetation increased for quadrats with vegetation between June and September; however, frequency of occurrence (number of quadrats with vegetation) decreased. The decrease in the number of quadrats with vegetation is estimated to be due to the loss of some vegetation from flooding. Some vegetation appears to have been stressed by high water levels. A summary of planned and estimated vegetation characteristics of the site is found in Table 13. • Additional contouring along portions of the planting shelves will occur and replanting of herbaceous and woody vegetation will occur in the Spring of 1997. Base -line conditions after the Spring 1997 planting will be reported in another report after the Spring planting. All final contouring for the lakes should also be completed by submission of the next report. • The site is a functioning aquatic ecosystem with deep, open water habitat surrounded by shallow -water marshes and hardwood wetland. The site is serving to catch runoff from surrounding development and numerous aquatic wildlife have been observed from the site. 25 Table 13.

The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the applicant and from observations made during a site visit by a representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the application show that the original Horseshoe Lake was created by impounding a natural drain, and possibly some excavation, in the 1920s. Horseshoe Lake is shaped like a horseshoe with both ends facing roughly southeast. A watershed of approximately 260 acres drains into the lake. A high ground berm or dam separates the lake from tidal marsh adjacent to the AIWW. A culvert in the southernmost "leg" of the lake connects it with the marsh. Due to the presence of cattails within the lake, it is presumed that the lake is at a high enough elevation that regular salt water intrusion does not occur. There is natural high ground in the middle of the horseshoe. Since 1984, a water body (called the Upper Lake) has been created above (upstream of) Horseshoe Lake as a result of various excavation and borrow activities. The excavated material was primarily sand and was used for residential development. The sand was removed to a clay layer which presently ponds water, thus the creation of the Upper Lake. The excavation was conducted in such a manner so as to facilitate the construction of an anticipated marina at this site. Soils were noted at the time of acquisition and the hydric soils identified at that time were mapped. A delineation of the wetlands subject to Corps of Engineers' regulatory jurisdiction was verified by a Corps' representative in 1989. The wetlands were redelineated by the applicant and approved by a Corps' representative in 1994. These three lines have been placed on a map for comparison and reference purposes. As stated earlier, past disturbances have removed the natural soil in the project area. These soils were mapped as Torhunta loamy fine sand and Lakeland sand. Currently, in many areas a very poorly drained clay is at or near the surface, resulting in impounded water and saturated soil conditions. Most of the hydrology occurs due to impounded rain and runoff. The wetland types are patchy and scattered as a result of the amount of material originally excavated. A large percentage of the wetlands present within the project area are in a disturbed state. These wetlands are primarily vegetated with emergent species including rushes (Juncus spp) , beakrushes (Rhynchospora spp) , sedges (Carex spp and Cyperus spp) , and woody vegetation including red maple (Acer rubrum), willow (Salix nigra) , loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), sweetgum (Licruidambar styraciflua) , and eastern false willow (Baccharis halimifolia) There are also areas of open water. While some of these areas are unvegetated, some contain submerged beds vegetated primarily by hornwort (Cenatophyllum demersum) and pondweeds (Potamogeton spp) . In addition to these types of wetland systems, there are also relatively natural, undisturbed wetlands. These areas are vegetated with species including red maple, A -1 sweetgum, red bay (Persea borbonia), water oak (Ouercus nigra), laurel oak (Ouercus laurifolia), yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), southern wax myrtle (MVrica cerifera), fetter bush (LVOnia lucida) , netted chain fern (Woodwardia aerolata), and greenbriers (Smilax spp) . The applicant acquired the property in 1984. From 1984 to the present the lake has served as a catch basin for eroded material. The erosion has occurred as a result of the removal of natural vegetation and subsequent development within the lake's watershed, primarily associated with the development of the Landfall and Pembroke Jones Park subdivisions. Eroded material has accumulated in the lake and along its shoreline to the point that in some places it has created shallows, vegetated primarily with cattails (Tvpha sp). one part of the proposed project will involve the removal of all sediment necessary to restore the lake to those dimensions present at the time of the property's acquisition, based on a 1984 aerial photograph. 1.16 acres of cattail marsh and 3.00 acres of open water will be excavated to a depth of 7 -8 feet. Around this deep water, a wetland fringe will be enhanced or created and will be bounded by forested wetlands. Excavated material will be used as either fill material for another part of the proposed project or as high ground fill for residential development. After the Horseshoe Lake excavation is completed, the applicant proposes to construct a bridge across the southernmost leg of Horseshoe Lake to access the high ground in the middle of the horseshoe for development purposes. Impacts to jurisdictional wetlands will occur as a result of the pouring of concrete pilings into sealed forms. These impacts are anticipated to be minor. The applicant also proposes constructing a dam /road between the Upper Lake area and Horseshoe Lake to serve as a water control structure. This dam will create the 13.6 acre Upper Lake and will result in the inundation or filling of 1.28 acres of man -made wetlands (created post -1984) and 2.29 acres of natural wetlands. The wetlands to be impacted by this aspect of the project are of a disturbed nature. Finally, the applicant proposes to construct a road for development purposes through relatively undisturbed natural wetlands. This construction will impact approximately 0.05 acre of wetlands located on a finger off of the northern side of the Upper Lake. With the construction of the Upper Lake, the applicant has proposed replacing and enhancing the wetland functions which will either be adversely impacted by the project or are presently of low quality. This replacement and enhancement is both a goal of the project and a mitigation proposal. The Upper Lake dam will maintain the lake's normal pool level at elevation 4.50 mean sea level (MSL) by 5 inverted PVC siphons located in the face of an outlet structure on the north face of the dam. The outlet structure will be connected to Horseshoe Lake by a 30 inch culvert through the dam. In addition, an emergency spillway will be constructed in native soil (not in the dam itself) to minimize erosion and possibilities of breaching. This spillway will be at elevation 8.5 MSL, slightly above the 50 year storm elevation. The top of the dam is to be at 10.0 MSL. The Upper Lake will be contoured so that gradually sloping shelves or terraces are created along the edges and open water in the middle of the lake. The shelves will be planted with both woody and herbaceous species of hydrophytic vegetation. This will provide for deep water and a higher quality, continuous wetland littoral fringe bounded by forested wetlands. 2 A -2 The applicant's mitigation proposal includes success criteria and a monitoring plan. The plan states that the hydrology will be saturated for sufficient duration, considering normal climatic conditions, necessary for a wetland jurisdictional determination using the "Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual" (Technical Report Y -87 -1, January 1987). The soils will be suitable to support target plant species. With regards to hydrophytic vegetation, for areas to be dominated by woody species, a minimum density of '20 trees per acre will survive for at least three years. Replanting will be done if survival falls below this limit. For areas to be dominated by herbaceous species, a relative coverage of 60 percent of wetlands species should be achieved at the end of the first growing season and 80 percent for the next two consecutive years. If survival rates fall below these limits, replanting will be done to accomplish an 80 percent survival rate. The survival of planted herbaceous species will be based on a qualitative assessment of relative coverage. The results of each of the three years of the monitoring period will be reported in an end of the year report. The first year -end report will include an "as- built" report. The purpose of the work is to create an aesthetically pleasing lake area for future development, as well as to enhance wetland functions within an existing impacted wetland. Plans showing the work are included with this public notice. The applicant has determined that the proposed work is consistent with the North Carolina Coastal Zone Management Plan and has submitted this determination to.the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM) for their review and concurrence. This proposal shall be reviewed for the applicability of other actions by North Carolina agencies such as: a. The issuance of a Water Quality Certification under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management ( NCDEM). b. The issuance of a permit to dredge and /or fill under North Carolina General Statute 113 -229 by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM). C. The issuance of a permit under the North Carolina Coastal Area Management Act (LAMA) by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM) or their delegates. d. The issuance of an easement to fill or otherwise occupy State -owned submerged land under North Carolina General Statute 143 - 341(4), 146 -6, 146 -11, and 146 -12 by the North Carolina Department of Administration (NCDA) and the North Carolina Council of State. e. The approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan by the Land Quality Section, North Carolina Division of Land Resources (NCDLR) , pursuant to the State Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (NC G.S. 113 A -50- 66) . The requested Department of the Army (DA) permit will be denied if any required State or local authorization and /or certification is denied. No DA permit will be issued until a State coordinated viewpoint is received and reviewed by this agency. Recipients of this notice are encouraged to furnish comments on factors of concern represented by the above agencies directly to the respective agency, with a copy furnished to the Corps of Engineers. This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean A -3 Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within the comment period specified in the notice, that a public hearing be held to consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing. The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the National Register of Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered properties, or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion therein, and this site is not registered property or property listed as being eligible for inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register constitutes the extent of cultural resource investigations by the District Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware of the presence of such resources. Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or historical data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit. The District Engineer, based on available information, is not aware that the proposed activity will affect species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973. The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of the probable impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity and its intended use on the public interest. Evaluation of the probable impacts which the proposed activity may have on the public interest requires a careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each particular case. The benefits which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The decision whether to authorize a proposal, and if so the conditions under which it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the general balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern for both protection and utilization of important resources. All factors which may be relevant to the proposal must be considered including the cumulative effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values, flood hazards and flood plain values (in accordance with Executive Order 11988), land use, navigation, shore erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of property ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving the placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States, a permit will be denied if the discharge that would be authorized by such permit would not comply with the Environmental Protection Agencies' 404(b)(1) guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any other applicable guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the District Engineer determines that it would be contrary to the public interest. The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal, State and local agencies and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested parties in order to consider and evaluate the impacts of this proposed activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of Engineers to determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this proposal. To make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on endangered species, historic properties, water quality, general environmental effects and the other public interest factors listed above. Comments are used in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) and /or an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) . Comments are also used to determine the need for a public hearing and to determine the overall public interest of the proposed activity. A -4 Generally, the decision whether to issue this Department of the Army (DA) permit will not be made until the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM) issues, denies, or waives State certification required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The NCDEM considers whether or not the proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the Clean Water Act. The application and this public notice for the Department of the Army (DA) permit serves as application to the NCDEM for certification. Additional information. regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be reviewed at the offices of the Environmental Operations Section, NCDEM, Salisbury Street, Archdale Building, Raleigh, North Carolina. Copies of such materials will be furnished to any person requesting copies upon payment of reproduction costs. NCDEM plans to take final action in the issuance of the Clean Water Act certification on or after May 30, 1995. All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for Clean Water Act certification should do so in writing delivered to NCDEM, Post Office Box 27687, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611 -7687, on or before May 5, 1995, Attention: Mr. John Dorney. Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will be received in this office, Attention: Mr. Jeff Richter, until 4:15 p.m., May 12, 1995, or telephone (910) 251 -4636.

Should the project involve a change of plans for work in wetlands other than that detailed in the enclosed plans, a modification to the plans will be submitted to the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the review agencies for approval and possible authorization. 2. The work will be conducted in such a manner as to prevent significant increases in turbidity outside the area of construction or construction related discharge (50 NTUs in streams and 25 NTUs in all saltwater classes and all lakes and reservoirs will not be considered significant). 3. The North Carolina Division of Environmental Management ( NCDEM) shall be copied with all as -built and mitigation plans. 4. Mitigation to offset impacts of the work will be implemented in accordance with the attached mitigation plan, with the exceptions listed below in Conditions 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. The mitigation will result in the creation of 3.24 acres of wetlands from existing uplands, the restoration of 0.56 acre of prior converted wetlands, the enhancement of 4.64 acres of existing wetlands, the creation of 4.73 acres of open -water habitat from existing wetlands and uplands, and the preservation of 12.32 acres of existing wetlands and open -water habitat. 5. Within the wetland mitigation areas, the physical and chemical properties of the soils will be suitable to support target plant species. Hydrol6gy will be maintained such that the soils are either saturated within 12 inches of the surface, or ponded or flooded, for at least 12.5 percent of the growing season under reasonably average climatic conditions. The geomorphology of the area will be suitable to meet hydrology requirements with regards to contours, elevation, and drainage /connections with surface waters. 6. .Wetland vegetative species to be planted are listed on Plat 3 of the enclosed plans. The numbers of each species to be planted and the planting plan are also listed. Changes in planted species and locations of planted vegetation may be altered in accordance with agreements with adjacent property owners and as dictated by onsite field conditions. However, finalization of the types, numbers, and locations of each species will be shown on a map and forwarded to the USACE and NCDEM for approval prior to the initiation of planting. 7. Survival rates of each species will be at least 80 percent of the number planted. Survival rate monitoring will be conducted for three years from the initial planting, and will occur at the beginning and the end of each growing season. If a survival rate of less than 80 percent occurs, the species will be replanted in accordance with the original planting plan, and a new three year monitoring period will begin. 8. Should any of the proposed parameters fail, the permittee will meet with the USACE and NCDEM to approve a revised plan, and the applicant shall' take any remedial action specified by the USACE to meet the requirements of the mitigation plan, as amended by conditions 6, 7, and 8. 9. At the end of a successful three year monitoring period, coordination will be conducted with the USACE and NCDEM to ensure that the mitigation area remains a functional wetland in perpetuity, of similar or higher quality than the initial design. A -16 10. The permittee shall maintain the 12.32 acres of wetlands and open water areas shown on "Plat 4 Horseshoe Lake Complex Mitigation Detail" as "Preservation" in its current condition as modified by work authorized by this permit and mitigation plan.

Criteria used to determine mitigation success for proposed forested areas (see Plat 6, Upper Horseshoe Lake Mitigation Plan) are based primarily on "Compensatory Hardwood Mitigation Guidelines" provided by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE Wilmingtcn District, 12/8/93). Hvdroloev. The mitigation areas should be saturated for sufficient duration, used normal climatic conditions, necessary for a wetland jurisdictional determination using the "Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual" (Technical Report Y -87 -1, January 1987). Soils. Soils of the mitigation site should be suitable to support target plant species. Vegetation. For mitigation areas proposed to be dominated by woody species, a minimum density of 320 trees per acre shall survive for at least three years. Should survivorship of planted species fall below 320 trees per acre, then replanting will be done as necessary. For mitigation areas proposed to be dominated by herbaceous species, a relative coverage of 60 percent of wetland species should be achieved at the end of the first growing season, and 80 percent of wetland species for the next two consecutive years. Should survivorship of wetland species fall below 60 percent at the end of year one or 80 percent at the end of years two or three, replanting will be done as necessary to accomplish an 80 percent survivorship rat,,. The survivorship of planted herbaceous species shall be based on a qualitative assessment of relative coverage. IL MONITORING PLAN A three -year monitoring plan is proposed and summarized below Year 1. Collection of baseline data, establish sampling procedures (stations and transects), and prepare an "as- built" report. First year monitoring will focus on hydrology and transplanted wetland vegetation survival and coverage/growth. Results of sampling and first year monitoring will be reported in an end - of -year report. Year 2. The second -year monitoring will focus on survival and coverage/growth of transplanted wetland vegetation and hydrology (if necessary) of the area.

The third -year monitoring will focus on survival and coverage/growth of transplanted wetland vegetation and hydrology (if necessary) of the area. Results of the monitoring will be reported in an end - of -year report will address not only the third growing season, but will summarize the entire monitoring study. A -19 Horseshoe Lake Complex at Landfall March 15, 1995 The following parameters will be assess in annual reports: APPENDIX E Hvdroloev. Hydrologic activity in the mitigation areas will be characterized by monitoring shallow monitoring wells, water level gages, and semi -continuous water level •recording devices (probably a WL- 40). Well installation will be patterned after the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' "Installing Monitoring Wells/Piezometers in gages will be surveyed for location and elevation above sea level. The number and location of monitoring wells will be designed to characterize the hydrologic activity for all communities within the mitigation areas. Hydrology sampling will continue throughout the growing season at intervals necessary to satisfy the hydrology success criteria. Sampling of the hydrology will occur until adequate hydrological conditions are met within the 3 -year monitoring period. Vegetation. Vegetation will be monitored along established transects through representative communities of the mitigation area. Transects will be placed in the vicinity of monitoring wells were possible. Transplanted wetland vegetation will be sampled at the end of the growing season for each of the three monitoring yeas. Tree seedlings nAll hr mnn tnrPr1 mind cIntrc of cuff; 'ent SL7, thst.will be L* accordance with ACOE guidelines. Herbaceous vegetation coverage will be monitored with 1.0 meter square quadrates along the transects.

Phone Fax k Fax # 152-4 7,� fay Engineers Wilmington, NC 28402 -1890 Re: Action ID No. 199500221 Horseshoe Lake Complex Landfall Dear Mr. Richter: Thank you for attending the preconstruction meeting on December 14, 1995 for the referenced project. It was beneficial for us to discuss with you the various conditions of the permit. Based on those discussions, we have a better understanding of the expectations, procedures and parameters by which the Corps will measure the project success. Following is a brief summary of the topics covered: .Hydrology: Hydrology success will occur if the wetland area soils are either saturated within 12 inches of the surface, or ponded or flooded, for at least 12.5 percent of the growing season. Hydrology was recognized as the most critical factor of the project and one that could vary from the plan due to inexactness., of finish grading. Thus, we discussed that flexibility in planting materials will be allowed provided 1) the acreages of woody and herbaceous materials are maintained at permit levels, and 2) such alterations in location of planting materials are provided to the Corps of Engineers for approval as specified in the permit. Hydrology and Ve5etation Monitoring: CZR Incorporated (CZR) is developing a monitoring plan for review and approval by the Corps of Engineers. The plan will include the number and proposed location of shallow monitoring wells, staff gauges, and continuous monitoring devices; hydrology monitoring schedule; the number and. location of vegetation transects; and other vital criteria. The monitoring period will be for three years as specified by the permit. "As Built" Report: we suggested that the Corps of Engineers be kept up -to -date via phone on any changes in planting materials and Landfall will supply an "As Built" A -22 JAhd 04 '96, 10: 494 P02 Mr. Jeff Richter January 3, 1996 Page Two report approximately 30 days after completion of planting of all areas. The current projected schedule is to begin planting in mid -April 1996 with completion of basic Upper and Lower Lake areas projected for around the end of July 1996. The "As Built" report would be submitted to the Corps of Engineers around the end of August 1996. Vegetation Success Criteria: The Special Conditions (item 7) of the 404 Permit call for 80 percent survival rates of planted species, presumably of both woody and herbaceous species. CZR raised questions relative to possibly using 1) 80 percent coverage by wetland species of herbaceous 320 al c anri ) tho corpor kard�ar.�6d yu.i.Ic].111,i a uzlueria or 320 trees per acre for tree - planted areas. Additionally, CZR noted that Landfall was planning to plant larger tree specimens than normally required and may add additional bare -root seedlings in order to meet or exceed the Corps, Hardwood Guidelines. - Finish Grading in Enhancement Areas: It was noted that finish grading in the wetlands creation and enhancement areas was a critical element to insure success of projects. Mr. Richter suggested that he be contacted for assistance should problems or difficulties arise in this phase of-the project. We are considering grading changes within the enhancement areas at this time and will contact you shortly to review our ideas with you before proceeding. The above is intended to be a general summary of the items discussed and any input or revisions you may have are welcomed. As additional information. (primarily the proposed monitoring plan) becomes available, we will forward the information to you for your review and comments. One additional item which has surfaced as a result of further examination of existing field conditions involves the normal water level of the Lipper Lake. The permit application and the 404 Permit state normal pool elevation to be 4.5 feet M.S.L. However, we believe that raising the normal pool elevation by six inches to 5.0 feet M.S.L will improve hydrology, thereby enhancing the overall success of the project. Provided the Corps of Engineers does not object, construction will proceed so as to create a normal pool elevation of 5.0 feet M.S.L. Please feel free to contact us to arrange a tour of the job site at your convenience.

Box 1890 Wilmington, NC 28402 -1890 Re: Upper Lake Mitigation Plan • Modification Request Landfall, New Hanover County, NC Dear Jeff: In response to our recent field review of the mitigation site with you, representatives of Landfall and CZR, we have prepared a summary document outlining the areas of modifications discussed. The requested modifications to the mitigation plan are summarized as follows: During the permit, review adjacent residential lot owners brought forth a concern regarding their visibility of the proposed Upper Lake. To resolve this issue, we have recommended to Landfall that selected tree planting zones (approximately two acres) approved on the permitted mitigation plan be reassigned to a compatible transfer site located immediately south of the proposed dam and west of Horseshoe Lake (see attached plat). Tree count totals, coverage, planting density and species type will remain the same. Accordingly, the herbaceous plantings currently assigned to the transfer site (approximately 2 acres) will be reassigned to the Upper Lake planting zones currently dedicated to tree plantings. 2. A number of the targeted tree planting zones are mitigation enhancement areas which will require slight grading modifications to allow planting of emergent aquatic species. To insure planting viability, the plantings will require shallow flooding along the Upper Lake perimeter. Therefore, our recommendation to Landfall is to fine grade the planting substrate in the enhancement zones to depths of six to eighteen inches to accommodate habitat depths required by the various herbaceous species. ._nrti t'1atLn.ng I,andsear, , i ?iteT"M" Cooper Spare 17 Glenwood Ave. 91Q- 334 -8'ti20 —91' ?_828 -oha A -24 Jeff Richter January 30, 1996 Page Two In summary, we are requesting minor modifications to the original mitigation plan: (1) to allow reassignment of trees and herbaceous materials, and (2) allow the fine grading of shoreline enhancement areas of the Upper Lake to accommodate herbaceous species plantings. The areas for these proposed modifications are outlined on the attached plat. We believe these changes will resolve the view problem for the adjacent residents and result in a more successful mitigation planting. Since you have reviewed the sites in the field, we are requesting by this correspondence an administrative approval for the modifications outlined above. The contractor is on -site and ready to begin work. We would appreciate a quick response to this request. Please feel free to contact me or Keith Cooper at Landfall if you require any further clarification. We remain available to meet with you at your convenience to discuss this request.

Preparation of the site has already begun and planting of wetland vegetation is planned for the Spring and Summer of 1996. Final plantings are projected to occur in July 1996. The proposed monitoring is broken into a three -year program as follows: Year 1 - 1996 CZR will collect baseline data, establish sample procedures, and prepare an "as- built" report for the Horseshoe Lake Complex mitigation areas in 1996. First -year monitoring will focus on hydrology and herbaceous plantings survival and growth of transplanted tree seedlings; results will be reported in an end -of -year report. Year 2 - 1997 The second -year monitoring program (1997) will focus on survival and growth of transplanted tree seedlings and herbaceous plantings, and hydrology of the area; the results will be reported in an end -of -year report. Year 3 - 1998 The third -year monitoring program (1998) will address survival and growth of transplanted tree seedlings and herbaceous plantings, and hydrology of the area. The final end -of -year report will address not only the 1998 growing season, but will summarize the entire monitoring study and evaluate the success of the project based on established success criteria. The report will be completed and submitted by the end of February 1999. 23 April 1996 CP# 1 150.06 B -3 Year One (1996) - BASELINE DATA COLLECTION, ESTABLISHMENT OF SAMPLING PROCEDURES, AS -BUILT REPORT, AND FIRST YEAR MONITORING A. Baseline Data Collection. Establishment of Sampling Procedures and As -built Report Baseline information will be collected on the Horseshoe Lake mitigation areas during early 1996. At this time, the sampling procedures, monitoring equipment, and photo stations will be installed or established. The proposed activities include: 1. Identification of the mitigation areas and acreage on maps and aerial photographs. Description of existing conditions at the mitigation areas. a. Establishment of fixed -point panoramic photo stations in the field. b. Installation of shallow monitoring wells, water level gages, and semi - continuous water level recording devices. Approximately 17 shallow monitoring wells (1.25 inch PVC well screen, 24 inches deep) will be installed in early 1996. During the installation of each shallow monitoring well, the soil series will be confirmed and soil horizon depths and colors recorded on wetlands data forms. Six semi - continuous recording devices (probably the WL -40 type produced by Remote Data Systems, Inc.) are proposed for installation. Water level gages will be installed in open water areas. Shallow monitoring wells, water level gages, and recording devices will be surveyed by Landfall for location and elevation relative to sea level. Proposed well locations are found along the perimeter of the lake and occur in the following categories: 1) preservation /woody - 1 shallow well; 2) preservation /herbaceous - 2 shallow wells; 3) enhancement /woody - 2 shallow wells, 2 WL -40s; 4) enhancement /herbaceous - 4 shallow wells, 1 WL-40; 5) creation /woody - 2 shallow wells, 1 WL -40; 6) creation /herbaceous - 5 shallow wells, 1 WL- 40; 7) restoration /woody - 1 shallow well; 8) restoration /herbaceous - 1 WL -40. Excluding preservation areas, there will be 20 wells (14 shallow monitoring wells and six WL -40s) to characterize the hydrology of approximately 8.44 acres. This coverage translates to approximately one well per half -an -acre. The complexity of the landscape, types of mitigation involved, and proposed planting areas require a detailed plan to gather and evaluate the success of the area. C. Establishment of vegetation sampling plots (transects and quadrats). During the baseline work, CZR will mark, number, identify, and measure the tree seedlings to be monitored. Approximately 3.87 acres of woody vegetation are currently planned at the site. Using the COE guideline of 320 trees per acre, this translates to a minimum of 1,239 trees that will be planted at the site. Areas proposed for the planting of woody vegetation are patchy and thus make the use of transects inefficient. Tagging of trees is proposed at a coverage of 75 percent of all individuals for each species planted. This would translate to tagging approximately 1000 trees which can be accomplished by two people in several days. If the trees are planted on 9 -foot centers this would translate to sampling approximately 1.85 acres. Areas planted with herbaceous species will be monitored and sampled by a qualitative assessment of relative coverage. Approximately 70 1- square meter quadrats (plots) are proposed along 11 transects around the lake. Transects are oriented in a perpendicular direction from upland areas around the lake and extend toward the open water of the lake. Quadrats will be located every 20 feet along a transect and will characterize the zonation and diversity of proposed planting areas. The relative coverage for all species encountered will be estimated for each quadrat. 3. Preparation of figures showing locations of tagged tree seedlings, herbaceous monitoring plots, shallow monitoring wells, water level gages, and recording devices. 23 April 1996 B -4 CP# 1150.06 4. Preparation of an "as- built" report for submission to Landfall and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) after the final earthwork and planting of wetland vegetation. B. Year 1 Monitoring (1996) at the Restoration Area 1. Vegetation. Planted tree seedlings and herbaceous plantings will be sampled near the end of the growing season of 1996. All seedlings marked and identified during the baseline work will be monitored for survival, tree height, and root collar diameter. Relative coverage of herbaceous species will be estimated for sampling plots. 2. Hydrology. Shallow monitoring wells, water level gages, and recording devices will be monitored in the restoration area monthly during, the first year and weekly during the early growing season (March through May). Supplemental hydrology monitoring may be conducted between the usual monthly well checks if weather or hydrological conditions warrant. The readings will be included in the annual report. 3. Fixed -point Panoramic Photographs. Photos taken at established fixed points during each vegetation sampling period will provide visual documentation of the wetland restoration area. Additional photos may be to show particular on -site features or changes. Some photos will be incorporated into the annual report. 4. Rainfall. Daily rainfall data will be obtained from the New Hanover County Airport weather station throughout the monitoring period, and incorporated into figures depicting "normal" conditions. Tables showing monthly rainfall per day and figures of monthly rainfall for 1996 will be included in the annual report. 5. Annual Report. An annual report that includes the above - listed items will be prepared for the monitoring year and will be submitted to Landfall and to the Corps by the end of February 1997. Year Two (1997) - MONITORING A. Vegetation. A survey of the transplanted seedlings and herbaceous plantings will be performed near the end of the growing season to determine survival, tree height, and root collar diameter of planted trees, and to determine the survival and relative coverage of herbaceous plantings. B. Hydrology. Shallow monitoring wells, water level gages, and recording devices will be monitored monthly, except that weekly monitoring will be done during the early part of the growing season (March through May). Supplemental hydrology monitoring may be conducted during the remainder of the growing season if weather or hydrological conditions warrant. The readings will be included in the annual report. C.

C -7 APPENDIX D 1996 DATA FROM THE WL -40 SEMI - CONTINUOUS WATER LEVEL RECORDERS AT THE HORSESHOE LAKE COMPLEX NOTES 1 . Daily rainfall totals are from the New Hanover International Airport approximately seven miles northwest of the site. 2. The WL -40 semi - continuous monitors recorded water table readings to the nearest 0.1 inch, and were programmed to record water table readings every hour and a half. Readings taken are displayed on the figures. 3. Apparent iron residue was deposited on some WL -40 probes when the water levels receded. This residue resulted in water wicking above the actual water level in some situations. Probes were cleaned and coated with "Rain X ", but this did not eliminate the problem. Cleaning did help but only for a short period. 4. The storm surge associated with hurricane Fran resulted in the destruction of WL -40 number 6 and the malfunction of well numbers 11, 14, and 18. Several of these wells are being repaired and hopefully they will be replaced prior to the next growing season.

Activities associated with the construction of Upper Lake (Landfall Lake) were completed in 1996. Damage to the site and planted vegetation occurred in conjunction with the passage of two hurricanes (Bertha and Fran) during 1996. A summary report describing conditions of the site was prepared and submitted to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in March 1997. Damage from the storms required additional construction work to repair the wetland shelves at the site and replanting of wetland vegetation between May and July 1997. Modifications to the site and replanting efforts resulted in the preparation of a new baseline report using data collected from January through July 1997. This report summarizes conditions and data collected during 1997 and represents the first annual report since modifications to the site. Hydrology of the site was monitored using 15 shallow monitoring wells in conjunction with five semi - continuous monitors and two staff gauges. Planted herbaceous species were monitored within 83 quadrats along 11 transects. The survival of 754 tagged, woody plants that were planted at the site was monitored in the Fall 1997. Photographs of the site were taken from permanently established locations. Seventy -six planted and naturally occurring herbaceous species were documented from the sampling quadrats in September 1997. The frequencies of occurrence were highest for sheathed flatsedge (Cyperus haspan) and bacopa ( Bacopa spp.) which occurred in 29 percent of the sampled quadrats. The most frequently encountered planted species were bacopa and arrowhead (Sagittaria iancifoiia) which occurred in 19 and 18 percent of the sampled quadrats, respectively. Approximately 85 percent (4.05 acres) of the planted shelves contained vegetation and 20 percent (0.95 acres) of the planted shelves contained greater than or equal to 80 percent vegetative cover. Herbaceous coverage of preserved wetlands has dropped since creation of Upper Lake. Of the 754 woody individuals tagged and measured in July 1997, 739 were alive in the Fall 1997. The number of living woody individuals encountered in the Fall 1997 represents a survival rate of 98 percent for the period between July and October 1997. A density of 354 planted "trees" per acre was estimated over an area of approximately 4.17 acres. Bald cypress (Taxodium distichum) and pond cypress (Taxodium ascenders) collectively comprised 56 percent of the planted individuals. Data from all five semi - continuous water level recorders indicate that the wetland shelves met the wetland hydrology criterion during the 1997 growing season. Monthly rainfall totals during the growing season were below average, but within the normal range, for the monitoring period. Only one well, number 20, did not appear to meet the wetland hydrology criterion during the monitoring period. This well represents approximately 0. 17 acre in an area planted with woody species near Horseshoe Lake. Mitigation requirements associated with the permit require 8.44 acres of wetland via restoration, creation, and enhancement techniques. At the end of this monitoring period, 4.95 acres of successful wetland (via restoration, creation, and enhancement techniques) existed at the site. The amount of successful acreage was 0.38 acre less in October 1997 compared to the successful acreage present in July 1997. Some of the recently planted herbaceous plants did not, become established on the outer edges of the planting shelves. An additional 3.49 acres of successful herbaceous wetland are needed at the site within the next two years in order to fulfill permit requirements. With time the planted vegetation and invasion of natural wetland plants should colonize the shelves. The outer edges of the shelves, in deeper water, have proven to be difficult areas to establish and support vegetation. Drawdowns of the water level may help to simulate natural conditions and allow additional plants to invade the outer edges of these shelves. Even in its current state, the site is performing wetland functions and supports a diverse wetland community that attracts a variety of aquatic animals. v 1.0 INTRODUCTION This report was prepared to comply with the terms and conditions described in the Department of the Army's Individual Permit Number 199500221 regarding wetland mitigation associated with the Horseshoe Lake complex at Landfall in New Hanover County, North Carolina. The permit was issued in October 1995 to allow impacts to 7.78 acres of wetlands for the creation of an enlarged lake (Upper Lake) and maintenance activities in the vicinity of Horseshoe Lake. The project involved the excavation of 1.16 acres of cattail marsh and 3.00 acres of open water in the existing Horseshoe Lake, the inundation and fill of 1.28 acres of man -made wetlands and 2.29 acres of natural wetlands for the creation of the Upper Lake, and the fill of 0.05 acre of natural wetlands for the construction of a road. Mitigation to offset the impacts of the work includes the creation of 3.24 acres of wetlands from existing uplands, the restoration of 0.56 acre of prior converted wetlands, the enhancement of 4.64 acres of existing wetlands, the creation of 4.73 acres of open water habitat, and the preservation of 12.32 acres of existing wetlands and open -water habitat. The proposed project (including background information, affected environment, project design, environmental consequences, and mitigation measures) is described and summarized in the "Environmental Assessment Horseshoe Lake Complex Project at Landfall New Hanover County, North Carolina - February 1, 1995," an application for an Individual 404 permit on file with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE). A report titled "Horseshoe Lake Complex Wetland Mitigation 1996 Annual Summary Report Including Information on Baseline and 'As- built' Conditions" was prepared and submitted by CZR Incorporated (CZR) to the Wilmington ACOE in March 1997. The 1996 Annual Summary Report describes site conditions including soils, hydrology, and vegetation of the site during 1996. The passage of two hurricanes (Bertha in July and Fran in September) through the area in 1996 resulted in well above average rainfall amounts and damage to the Horseshoe Lake complex. Hurricane Fran was particularly destructive with winds in excess of 100 miles per hour and a storm surge that resulted in inundation of the site with 3 to 4 feet of sea water. Wilmington ACOE representatives (Jeff Richter and Mike Taylor) met with Landfall personnel (Wayne Polston and Keith Cooper) and CZR (Sam Cooper) on 17 September 1996 to assess the damage to Horseshoe Lake as a result of Hurricane Fran and the associated rains. During that meeting the ACOE indicated that a new baseline report would be necessary after replanting efforts in 1997. The "1997 Baseline and As -Built Report for the Horseshoe Lake Wetland Complex— January through July 1997 Data" serves as the Baseline Report for this project. The purpose of this annual summary report is to document site conditions throughout the year with additional data collected July through December 1997. 2.0 MITIGATION SITE LOCATION The Horseshoe Lake complex is located approximately 1.5 miles northeast of the intersection of U.S. (Truck) 17 (Military Cut Off Road) and U.S. 74 (Eastwood Road) within the private subdivision of the Landfall Community in New Hanover County, North Carolina. The Landfall Community, a 2,250 - acre tract formerly known as the Pembroke Jones Estate, is roughly bordered by Eastwood Road (US 74) to the south, the Intracoastal Waterway to the east, Howe Creek to the north, and a Carolina Power and Light powerline easement near Military Cut Off to the west (Figure 1). Horseshoe Lake is located near the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway at the ends of Pembroke Jones Drive and Harborway Drive.

(910) 343 -8002 3.0 PROJECT GOALS The purpose of the project is to create an aesthetically pleasing lake area for future development, as well as to enhance wetland functions in an area of disturbed wetland. Goals associated with the project include: 1) controlling stormwater run -off from adjacent residential areas, 2) functioning as a settling pond to protect the marshes and open water areas of Middle Sound from nutrients and sediments associated with residential development, 3) enhancing a degraded wetland complex, 4) providing improved wildlife habitat, 5) creating a setting more attractive to the adjoining residential subdivision, and 6) providing a mechanism for wetland /water management. 4.0 SUCCESS CRITERIA Success criteria associated with the project are included in the 1997 Baseline and As -built Report. Special conditions of the issued permit concentrate 'on successful hydrology (Special Condition #5) and survival of planted .vegetation (Special Condition #7) as follows: 1) "Hydrology will be maintained such that the soils are either saturated within 12 inches of the surface, ponded, or flooded, for at least 12.5 percent of the growing season under reasonably average climatic conditions." (Special Condition #5) 2) "Survival rates of each species will be at least 80 percent of the number planted." (Special Condition #7) The vegetation success criteria were discussed with Mr. Jeff Richter of the ACOE on 14 December 1996 relative to applying the "80 percent of the number planted" criterion. This criterion was clarified to represent relative coverage or numbers for herbaceous vegetation. 5.0 PRE - CONSTRUCTION SITE CHARACTERISTICS The original Horseshoe Lake was created in the 1920s by impounding a natural drain and possibly some excavation. Horseshoe Lake is "U" or horseshoe - shaped with the ends pointing toward the southeast. A high ground berm separates the Horseshoe Lake from tidal marsh along the Intracoastal Waterway. A watershed of approximately 260 acres drains naturally into the lake and a culvert connects Horseshoe Lake with the marsh. A water body (called Upper Lake) was originally created above Horseshoe Lake as a result of various excavation and borrow activities. Sand was excavated from some areas down to a clay layer which ponded water and created the original Upper Lake. Vegetation of the area was largely comprised of early successional species characteristic of disturbed areas. Plant communities of the Horseshoe Lake complex prior to this project were delineated by CZR in 1994 and are described in the permit application. 3 6.0 SITE PREPARATION Project details and design were submitted with the permit package in February 1995. Preparation of the site involved considerable earth work. Major earth work occurred during January through April 1996, with additional repair and grading work continuing throughout the year. Excavation of material from the Upper Lake area to appropriate elevations required the removal of approximately 75,000 cubic yards. Careful attention was focused on fine grading the planting shelves where elevation and corresponding water depth were crucial to achieving a successful mitigation project. Some planting shelves were undercut and refilled with topsoil to enhance substrate material for planted wetland vegetation. Approximately 4,800 cubic yards of unsuitable material was removed and topsoil was added to improve the substrate of the planting shelves. A dam outlet structure and associated piping, along with an earthen berm, was constructed between the original Horseshoe Lake and the modified Upper Lake. The slopes and terraces along the perimeter of Upper Lake were also fine - graded. In addition, a groundwater well was installed near the northeastern corner of the lake to supply water as needed to manage the lake's water level. Rain and the storm surge associated with Hurricane Fran resulted in the deposition of considerable material (soil, wrack, debris) on the planted wetland shelves in September 1996. Accumulated soil and material were removed from the wetland shelves prior to replanting in 1997. Additional measures to control erosion and stabilize the surrounding uplands were implemented in early 1997. 7.0 AS -BUILT MITIGATION SITE CHARACTERISTICS 7.1 Topography and Soils. The Upper Lake was contoured with gradually sloping shelves or terraces along the edges and open water in the middle of the lake. Areas adjacent to the original Horseshoe Lake were also contoured and planted with wetland vegetation. Maintenance of Horseshoe Lake via removal of accumulated sediments and recently invading cattails occurred from September 1996 through August 1997. Elevation of the normal water level in Upper Lake is 5.0 feet above sea level. Contours of the site, surveyed monitoring well locations, and the ends of herbaceous sampling transects are presented in Figure 2. Upper Lake occupies approximately 11.82 acres (5.82 acres of unvegetated open water and 6.0 acres of wetland via creation, enhancement, and restoration techniques). An additional 2.44 acres of wetland mitigation (via creation, enhancement, restoration) occurs below the dam in association with the original Horseshoe Lake. 7.2 Transplanted Vegetation. Wetland vegetation was planted at the site in May 1996 and May through July 1997. Approximately 96,096 herbaceous plants of 16 species and eight woody species were planted at the site during 1996 (Figure 3). Information on planted vegetation, including a species list, wetland indicator status, and quantity of each species planted, is found in Table 1. The terraces along the perimeter of Upper Lake were planted with herbaceous species on 2 to 3 -foot centers. Woody vegetation was spaced on 10 -foot centers and consisted of containerized (3, 7, and 15 gallon) plants. Surrounding land was seeded with annual grasses and covered with straw to prevent erosion. 4 Ul >Am, 2�9 ° m / N of ON i� a w� H � m 1 O / ° u� F: A CD 1 / �1 1 a G� o j F A A g N.C.

Approximately 50,757 herbaceous plants of 19 species and 163 woody plants of 11 species were planted in 1997. Species included those planted in 1996 as well as a few species new to the site, including swamp rosemallow (Hibiscus moscheutos), cardinal flower (Lobelia cardina /is ), great blue lobelia (Lobelia siphiiitica), water tupelo (Nyssa aquatica), and water oak (Quercus nigra). A few additional miscellaneous woody species were encountered in the planted stock of 1997. These various species were tagged and included with the data for all woody species. Replanting efforts during 1997 were concentrated in storm damaged areas. 8.0 SITE MONITORING A monitoring plan titled "Proposed Wetland Mitigation Monitoring Plan and Services Associated with the Horseshoe Lake Wetland Complex for 1996 through 1998" was submitted to the ACOE on 22 January 1996, and a revised version was submitted on 23 April 1996. This revised plan was accepted by the ACOE. The monitoring plan is based primarily on monitoring of 8.44 acres of wetland mitigation (via enhancement, creation, and restoration techniques). Hydrology and vegetation of the site have been the subject of focus for monitoring efforts. Details of the monitoring design are described in the 1997 Baseline and As -built Report and are summarized below. 8.1 Hydrology. Site hydrology was monitored by measuring water levels through the use of shallow water monitoring wells in conjunction with semi - continuous monitors and two staff gauges. Monitoring well locations and elevations have been surveyed (Figure 4 and Table 2), and water levels were checked at least monthly by CZR. A shallow monitoring well consists of a 1.5 -foot length of 1.25 -inch diameter PVC screen (0.1- inch slot) coupled to a 1 -foot 1.25 -inch diameter solid PVC riser. Each well was inserted into the ground on the terraces found along the perimeter of the Upper Lake and on the contoured areas around Horseshoe Lake. Sand from the site was used to repack the hole around the well and any clay dug from the hole was used to repack the seal at the surface. The riser is topped with a removable cap which allows access for measuring and prevents objects from entering the well. Five semi - continuous water level monitors (model WL -40 units produced by Research Data Systems) were monitored at the site. A WL -40 consists of a battery - powered instrument capable of measuring and storing water table fluctuations across a 40 -inch range. A microprocessor with programmable reading intervals stores up to 510 data points. The WL -40s were installed in hand - augered holes approximately 24 to 30 inches deep, allowing the remainder of the well to extend above the ground. This set -up allows the monitor to record fluctuations in water levels both below ground or above the ground. The units at Horseshoe Lake were programmed to take measurements every 1.5 hours. This interval allows the collection of the maximum number of data points within a one month time period. Down - loading of data is obtained through wireless infrared transmission to a hand held computer /calculator. Daily rainfall data were obtained from the weather station at the New Hanover International Airport as well as a site from Landfall. Historical rainfall data from the New Hanover International Airport allows monthly comparisons of rainfall amounts to a 30 -year monthly average. These comparisons allow discussions relative to unusual or atypical weather conditions. Rainfall data from Landfall allows more site specific data to be incorporated with the water level data collected from well monitoring at the Horseshoe Lake complex. 8 SECTION EIGHT 7 0.062 Ac AREA OF SECTION NINE 1 + v \ HERBACEOUS CREDIT t • SECTION 8881 SF •H-, 0.158 Ac + .

Areas planted with herbaceous species were monitored and sampled by a qualitative assessment of relative coverage. Eighty -three one - square meter quadrats (plots) were located along 11 transects around the Upper Lake. Transects were oriented in a perpendicular direction from upland areas around the lake and extend toward the open water of the lake. Quadrats were located every 20 feet along the transects and characterize the zonation and diversity of planted areas. The relative coverage for all species encountered were estimated for each quadrat. Each transect was located in the vicinity of a monitoring well. Approximately 50 percent of the planted woody species of the site were flagged and permanently marked with aluminum tags. The height and root collar diameter of each tagged individual were recorded in July 1997. The survival /mortality of planted trees from all areas (sections one through ten) (see Figure 4) were determined in October 1997. The results of the October 1997 survey of woody species are found in Appendix A. Photographs were taken from established points during the vegetation sampling period to provide visual documentation of the wetland mitigation areas. Other photographs showing particular on -site features are included in Appendix B. 8.3 Reports. Two reports, a baseline /as -built report and an end -of -year annual report, were planned for 1996. However, the damage from two hurricanes (Bertha and Fran) in the area resulted in modifications of the site to maintain the original design of wetland areas. Heavy rains in the area resulted in the erosion of the adjacent shoreline and accretion of sediment onto the edges of the planting shelves. Discussions and on -site meetings with the ACOE resulted in the decision to prepare a single end -of -year report that summarized the 1996 activities associated with the project. As a result of these changes, 1997 will serve as the baseline year for the project. 9.0 SUMMARY OF DATA COLLECTED IN 1997 9.1 Rainfall - 1997. Rainfall data for 1997 were provided by both the New Hanover International Airport weather station (located approximately 7 miles northwest of Landfall) and by Landfall. The rainfall data were used to assist in the analysis of the shallow ground water data. Monthly precipitation totals recorded from the airport and Landfall are found in Figure 5. Deviations (in inches) from monthly averages were: -2.04 in January, +0.31 in February, -1.85 in March, -0.83 in April, -2.59 in May, +0.51 in June, +2.03 in July, +4.52 in August, -3.79 in September, +0.50 in October, -2.25 in November, and 0.00 in December. Precipitation totals for all months except May, August, September, and November were within one standard deviation of the monthly averages. The monthly totals for May and August were lower than one standard deviation from the monthly average, while the monthly totals for September and November were higher than one standard deviation from the monthly average. The cumulative precipitation was approximately 7.50 inches below the average for the year at the end of December 1997. The cumulative year -to -date precipitation for Landfall was 54.57 inches, which is 5.86 inches more than was recorded from the airport. Monthly rainfall amounts at Landfall were higher, compared to monthly totals from the airport, during all months except June, September, and October. 9.2 Hydrology. Water levels of the site were measured through the use of shallow water monitoring wells in conjunction with semi - continuous water level monitors (WL -40s). Fifteen monitoring wells and six semi - continuous monitors were installed in early June 1996. Nine shallow monitoring wells and six semi - continuous monitors were installed around the Upper Lake, and six shallow monitoring wells and one semi - continuous monitor were installed near Horseshoe Lake. Two staff gauges were installed in Upper Lake. Water levels were checked at least monthly during 1997 by CZR (Table 3). Two wells ( #6 and #7) were destroyed by debris associated with Hurricane Fran. Water levels were checked from the well screen still in place at well #6 during 1997. 11 ,2 r- 0) 0) m E a) U a) 7 O r H L cm 7 C f0 C O D cc C co J a c as 0 a.

The data were analyzed using information provided in the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (U.S. Department of the Army 1987) and an ACOE clarification memorandum (7 October 199 1). The presence of wetland hydrology was evaluated using the number of consecutive days the water table was within 12 inches of the surface during the growing season. The growing season for the site is based on the "28 degrees Fahrenheit or lower" temperature threshold at a frequency of "5 years in 10" and extends from 27 February to 26 November (271) days. This information is based on dates from New Hanover County (New Hanover County soil survey, U.S. Department of Agriculture 1977). Because the normal lake level is 5.0 feet above sea level and most of the wells were located on shelves around the lake, the water level was near or above the surface at most well sites for the majority of the monitoring period. The ground elevations (feet above sea level) at the well sites ranged from 4.4 (Well #1) to 6.6 (Well #20). Only one of the fourteen monitoring well sites associated with the Upper Lake was not located on the contoured shelves around the lake. Well #8 (elevation of 5.3 feet above sea level) was located in a drain adjacent to the lake that was planted with cypress trees. Data from all five semi - continuous water level recorders indicate that the wetland shelves around the lakes had wetland hydrology during the monitoring period (Appendix C). Data from the shallow water wells make determination of the exact wetland hydroperiod difficult, but one site (well #20) did not appear to meet the wetland hydrology criterion during this monitoring period. Well #20 is located at an elevation of 6.6 feet above sea level and represents an area of less than a third of an acre. Two other sites (wells #13 and #15) exhibited wetter hydroperiods during the middle of the growing season (June through August) and represent drier areas of the mitigation site. Surface water would occasionally be observed near well #13 when no water was present in the well. The soils in the vicinity of transect H near well #13 appear to contain more clay and may perch water on the surface, allowing the area to support hydrophytic vegetation. Water levels of the site are largely controlled by the outlet structures at the dam between the lakes and the outlet associated with the original Lower Horseshoe Lake. Because of these structures, water levels of the mitigation sites are less responsive to rainfall events compared to water levels in more natural settings. The purpose of the outlet structures and supplemental well was to create a setting which allowed the management of water levels at the site. One of the key factors in achieving a wetland fringe around the lake is the management of appropriate water levels to encourage and maintain wetland vegetation. M, 9.3.1 Herbaceous Vegetation. Vegetation of the site was monitored along 11 transects (identified as "A" through "K" in Figure 4). The transects were located on the shelves planted with herbaceous wetland plants. Of the 83 quadrats sampled along the transects, 8 quadrats were in areas not planted but located in areas designated as preservation areas. Data recorded from each of the 1- meter square quadrats during September 1997 are found in Appendix D. Seventy -six herbaceous species were documented from the quadrats in September 1997 (Appendix D). In September 1997, the frequency of occurrence was highest for sheathed flatsedge (Cyperus haspan) and bacopa ( Bacopa spp.) which occurred in 29 percent of the sampled quadrats. 14 Sago pondweed (Potamogeton pectinatis) were the next most frequently encountered species, which occurred in 26 percent of the sampled quadrats. The average coverage of herbaceous species on the planted shelves was 42 percent and about 13 percent in the preservation areas around Upper Lake (Table 4). Approximately 85 percent of the planted shelves contained vegetation and 20 percent of the planted shelves contained greater than or equal to 80 percent vegetative coverage (Table 5). A summary on the occurrence of planted species within planned planting zones is found in Table 6. The status of planted herbaceous species during 1997 is summarized in Table 7. Species richness averaged 5.3 species per sampling quadrat in September, compared to 2.7 in July. A summary of vegetation characteristics of the site is found in Table 8. 9.3.2 Woody Vegetation. A total of 739 live woody individuals were surveyed in October 1997 (Table 9). The number of living individuals encountered in October 1997 represent 98 percent of the total living in July 1997. Bald cypress (Taxodium distichum) and pond cypress (Taxodium ascenders) collectively comprised 56 percent of the live individuals. Each of the other species comprised less than 11 percent of the total number of live individuals found. Data for all planted species encountered while surveying are included in this report. A density of approximately 354 live planted "trees" per acre was estimated at the site (covering approximately 4.17 acres) during October 1997. Average survival by species from July to October 1997 was 98 percent. 9.4 Wildlife Observations. Observations of wildlife and wildlife sign were recorded in conjunction with other sampling activities. Two amphibian, one reptile, fifty -four bird, and three mammal species were recorded at the site during 1997. The shallow water habitats associated with the open water of the lakes, in addition with the site's proximity to other coastal habitats, account for the attraction to the area by waterbirds. Despite the construction activities throughout the year, numerous wildlife species often associated with wetlands have been documented at the site. A summary of the wildlife encountered at the site is found in Table 10. 15 Table 4. Average percent coverage of herbaceous vegetation in sampled quadrats at the Horseshoe Lake complex.

September 1997 B -5 APPENDIX C 1997 DATA FROM THE WL -40 SEMI - CONTINUOUS WATER LEVEL RECORDERS AT THE HORSESHOE LAKE COMPLEX NOTES 1. Daily rainfall totals presented in the following figures are from a rain gauge located at Landfall. 2. Dotted line on the following figures represents 12- inches below the ground surface (represented by a solid line). The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers criterion for wetland hydrology requires saturation (water table) within 12- inches of the ground surface for at least 12.5 percent of the growing season. Areas with saturation between 5.0 and 12.5 percent of the growing season are sometimes wetland and require a closer evaluation of the vegetation and soil. 3. The WL -40 semi - continuous monitors recorded water table readings to the nearest 0.1 inch, and were programmed to record water table readings every hour and a half. Readings taken are displayed on the figures. 4. The WL -40 semi - continuous water level recorders were affected by a film of apparent iron deposits on the probes. This residue resulted in water wicking above the actual water level in some situations. Probes were cleaned and coated with "Rain V, but this did not eliminate the problem. Cleaning did help but only for a short period. This false reading indicated that water levels were generally 1 to 8 inches higher than true readings. True readings were determined visually with a tape measure and are depicted on the figures with a "A ". Attempts to reduce this build -up of deposits were not effective. Readings reported in this report reflect actual WL -40 measurements. No modifications to the data were incorporated. Even if 8 inches were subtracted from all WL -40 readings, the wells would still exhibit wetland hydrology for over 12.5 percent of the growing season. 5. The storm surge associated with hurricane Fran resulted in the destruction of WL -40 number 6.
