Director of Engineering Winn -Dixie Stores, Inc. P. O. Box B Jacksonville, Florida 32203 -0297 RE: Retail Support Center, Clayton, NC Dear Mr. Cronin: Please reference the January 7, 1997 meeting at the Division's Raleigh Regional Office to discuss problems associated with the Winn -Dixie Retail Support Center near Clayton, NC. A number of compliance and violation issues were discussed at that meeting. The intent of this letter is to emphasize issues specific to the 401 Water Quality Certification issued for the project on January 10 , 1996. As discussed in your January 3, 1997 letter and at the meeting, the stream relocation and wetland mitigation site has been changed to shift the new stream bed further west. The Division will need a revised mitigation plan for the project showing the changes in the creek alignment and identifying the construction methods and the means for controlling hydrology within the mitigation area. The revised plan should also show the restoration plan for the 0.9 acres impacted without authorization. A comprehensive, five year monitoring program should also be included to track the success and to monitor the hydrological needs of the area. It should be noted here that if the proposed mitigation site is not successful, Winn -Dixie will be held responsible for finding and developing a new site to meet it's mitigation obligation. This office received the proposed stormwater plans on January 21, 1997 and these plans have been forwarded to the Division's stormwater group for their review and approval. This office will continue to coordinate with the Raleigh Regional Office in assisting Winn - Dixie with resolving these issues.

Final Disposition of Property 11 Figures Appendix A - Corps of Engineers Wetland Data Sheets WINNDDi'Uv=LAN.DOC I. IMPACT AREA The Distribution Center is located adjacent to the west side of the Town of Clayton in Johnston County, North Carolina. The site is approximately one quarter of a mile north of Highway 70 and lies on the west side of State Road 1553 (Figure 1). The property is approximately 65 acres with a western border established by a tributary of Little Creek. The majority of the site has been used for agricultural purposes for the last several decades. Development of the Distribution Center will impact 3.77 acres of jurisdictional wetlands in which Winn -Dixie is proposing to offset the disturbed wetland areas with the creation of a wetland mitigation area. The mitigation area is 2.58 acres and lies adjacent to Little Creek Tributary and expands an existing wetland in the flood zone of the creek. The site plan and mitigation area are depicted in Figures 2 and 3, respectively. B. FUNCTIONS AND VALUES All upland areas of the site have been cleared for agricultural use and in recent years have become grown -up with small pines and briar patches. Low lying areas on the site that are too wet for agriculture have mature vegetation. Two representative areas within the site have been classified on a Corps of Engineers (COE) Wetland Data Sheet. The Data Sheets are attached in Appendix A. The Data Sheets represent a typical upland section and a typical wetland section of the site. The wetland areas that were not cleared due to poor agriculture potential serve two primary functions. First, the mature and stable vegetation along drainageways and small creeks serve to protect surface water from siltation during storm events. Secondly, during storm events some of the wetland areas store surface run -off, thereby minimizing the flood impact on the streams. WINNDMWrIPLAN.DOC C. IDENTIFY MITIGATION NEEDS Prior to finalizing the site plan for the proposed facility, Winn -Dixie worked to minimize the wetland impact on site. Through subsequent discussions with COE and State officials, an agreement was reached that of the 10 acres of wetlands on site, 3.77 acres could be impacted if mitigation was involved. In order to determine the best solution for a mitigation area on site, Triangle Environmental, Inc. (Triangle) met with a representative from the State Water Quality Section at the site. After carefully studying the site, one 2.58 acre area adjacent to Small Creek Tributary and an existing wetland demonstrated the potential for a wetland creation project. Therefore, the State agreed to approve of Winn- Dixie's 401 Certification contingent upon approval of this Mitigation Plan. In addition to the wetland creation, Winn -Dixie is planning two stormwater retention ponds to minimize peak stormwater discharge. II. DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS A. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SITE 1. Soils Currently, the mitigation area is a small knoll along the stream bank as evident on Figures 2 and 3. The knoll consists of red sandy clay soils. As part of the wetland creation project, the existing soils will be excavated and used as structural fill for the facility. Once the mitigation area is over excavated, the top 24 inches of soil from the impacted wetlands will be transported into the mitigation area. The transported soil will provide the necessary nutrient base to support the design vegetation. 2 WINNDDCUv=LAN.DOC 2. Hydrology Due to the presence of the Small Creek Tributary that is adjacent to the mitigation area, the hydrology aspect of the wetland will be supported by frequent flooding at least 12.5 % of the growing season. There is currently a wetland area bordering the mitigation area adjacent to the tributary that is supported by flooding of the tributary. Due to the conclusion that flooding of the tributary has successfully supported the adjacent wetland, Triangle has determined that by creating a similar topographic cross - section, the hydrology in the mitigation area will be successful in supporting the new wetland. 3. Geomorphology The key to meeting the hydrology requirements of the mitigation area is proper geomorphology. Figures 2 and 3 show the proposed contours. The proposed contours have been designed to mimic the contours in the bordering wetland. By mimicking the adjacent wetland contours and the similarities in the stream bank along the tributary, the mitigation area will flood similarly to the adjacent wetland area. B. BIOLOGICAL/VEGETATION CHARACTERISTICS Species Selection/Composition Species selection was based on species native to the area, recommendations from local forestry officials, and available tree seedlings. Based on the 1995 -1996 tree seedlings list obtained from the North Carolina Division of Forest Resources, a wetlands species package was selected for proposed mitigation. This particular package contains an assortment of 10 different species that are suitable for wetlands mitigation. Section IV- B -1 describes the wetlands species package in more detail. Composition of the species will, of course, be dependent upon the composition of the seedlings in the wetlands species package. A minimum of six different hardwoods is recommended with no more than 20% of any one species. Additionally, up to 10% of the total species composition may be softwood species. The goal for the total number of trees surviving for three years is 320 per acre. Considering this goal and a proposed mitigation area of 2.58 acres, the three -year goal of surviving trees is 825. Refer to Section IV -B -6 for specific planting requirements. III. SELECTION OF SITE The entire project area was considered when selecting a location for mitigation. Through careful consideration only one area showed the potential for wetland creation. This area was selected for several reasons. 1. The area is within Winn -Dixie property and lends to creating a wetland that is "like- kind" to the wetland being impacted by construction. 2. The area is buffered on all sides such that naturalization can occur and future threats of adjacent development are eliminated. The buffers include existing wetlands, the Small Creek Tributary separating the main facility from the new wetland, and a 200- foot buffer of mature vegetation to the property line. 3. Finally, this area showed the highest potential due to the presence of the adjacent tributary. The tributary provides a reliable source of water to support the new wetland as seen by the existing, adjacent wetland. 4 WINND1X\.N PLAN.DOC IV. SPECIFIC CONSIDERATIONS A. PHYSICAL SITE PREPARATION 1. Hydrology As previously discussed, the hydrology for the mitigation area will be provided by frequent flooding of the border. The flooding of the tributary is currently supporting adjacent wetlands; therefore, by mimicking the topography of the adjacent, successful wetland the new wetland will have sufficient hydrology. 2. Fertilizer Needs Based on discussions with local forestry officials and the fact that the top 24 inches of the mitigation site will be native wetlands topsoil, no fertilizer or other nutrient enhancements are needed to support and maintain the growth of the seedlings. 3. pH/Lime As described above, the existing 24 inches of native wetlands topsoil will be adequate in providing the proper pH range for the seedlings. 4. Drainage The contours within the new wetland are relatively flat with less than I% slopes, similar to the adjacent wetland. Drainage patterns and small pools are expected to be formed within the new wetland by the flooding. However, the area is not to be designed to pond water only, but to reduce velocity of run -off and provide flood storage during backwater conditions. 5 WINNDDOMTIPLAN.DOC 5. Erosion Control Measures The erosion control measures for the development of the site and for the creation of the mitigation area are covered in an Erosion Control Plan that has been submitted for approval to the Land Quality Section of the State. However, erosion control measures for the mitigation area will be reiterated below. As part of the construction of the mitigation, a portion of Small Creek Tributary will be realigned through the mitigation area. This realigned portion will be excavated during the rough grading of the mitigation area. The new creek will not be connected at the upstream point of the existing creek initially. This will allow the new creek to function as a sediment basin during the construction of the mitigation area. After completion of the mitigation area and stabilization of a temporary grass cover, the new creek will be connected into the existing creek and the existing creek closed through the realigned portion. B. VEGETATION REQUIREMENTS 1. Species Selection As discussed in Section II -B -1, species selection was based on species native to the area, recommendations from local forestry officials, and available tree seedlings. Considering these criteria, a wetlands species package available through the North Carolina Division of Forest Resources was selected for proposed mitigation. This particular package consists of the following assorted species: Baldcypress, Southern Waxmyrtle, Willow Oak, Swamp Chestnut Oak, Hazel Alder, Pond Pine, Water Tupelo, Roughleaf (Swamp) Dogwood, Red Maple, and Overcup Oak. Although all of these species have not been identified at the site, local forestry officials have indicated that they would be well - suited to the conditions at the site. WINNDIXU�=LAN.DOc 2. Quantity of Trees The goal for number of trees surviving for three years is a minimum of 320 trees per acre. Based upon this number and a proposed mitigation area of 2.58 acres, the minimum number of trees is 825. Assuming a conservative 75% survival rate, the proposed total number of trees is 1,100. 3. Type of Stock Tree seedlings will be obtained from the North Carolina Division of Forest Resources. The seedlings will be bare root, one year old and range in height from 12 to 24 inches. Additionally, the root collar should be a minimum of 1/4 inch in diameter. 4. Availability Based upon discussions with the Division of Forest Resources, the wetlands species package will be available December 1, 1996. It is anticipated that this same schedule would apply to subsequent years for the tree seedlings availability. 5. Source of Stock As mentioned above, the source of stock will be from the North Carolina Division of Forest Resources, specifically Edwards Nursery in Morganton, North Carolina. 7 WINNDDC\1V IPLAN.DOC 6. Planting Requirements a. Density of Plantings The total number of seedlings needed for effective mitigation is 1,100. Given the mitigation area of 2.58 acres, the spacing of the seedlings should be approximately 10 feet by 10 feet. It is important to note that the seedlings should not necessarily be planted in a uniform grid pattern but should be planted in a random fashion as to encourage a natural hardwood wetlands area. Figure 3 depicts the mitigation area divided into 10 -foot grids. These grids are shown for illustration of planting density only and in no way dictate the proposed planting layout. b. Species Composition A minimum of six hardwood species with no more than 20% of any one species is recommended. With reference to the wetlands species package, 10 different species are listed in which it is assumed that no one species will be provided at more than 20% of the total. Additionally, up to 10% of site species composition may be softwood species. Consequently, one softwood species, Pond Pine, is listed in the wetlands species package. Given 10 different species listed in the wetlands package, it is not anticipated that Pond Pine would exceed 10% of the total species composition. C. Planting Schedule '\ qb )qtl Planting of the tree seedlings should be conducted from December through March. Given that the tree seedlings will be available in December, the planting period should coincide appropriately with the delivery of the tree seedlings. 8 V4NND1:\N=LAN.DOC d. Planting Procedures No specific planting procedures are anticipated for the subject site. Typical silvicultural techniques for wetlands species are to be employed as recommend by the nursery and/or local forest ranger. 7. Site Distribution Tree seedlings distribution is important for effective mitigation in that certain species need to be located in the lower lying areas (i.e., more moisture prone areas) and certain others do not. For example, it is recommended that species such as the baldcypress be planted in the lower lying regions and the oak species be planted in the upper lying regions of the mitigation area. Although random planting is recommended and encouraged, some selective planting techniques should be used for the more extreme moisture dependent/independent species as described above. 8. Vegetation Sample Plots Given that the mitigation site is less than three acres, a minimum of two 0.05 acre sample plots per acre of mitigation area should be utilized. Therefore, it is proposed that five 0.05 acre sample plots be used to represent and monitor the entire mitigation site. Each sample plot will be physically marked in the field to allow for consistent monitoring data. The proposed locations of the sample plots are shown in Figure 3. V. MONITORING As -built plans and a report will be submitted to the State to serve as official notice of completion of mitigation construction. Subsequently, the mitigation area will be monitored on a semi - annual basis during the periods of February -March and August - 9 WINNDrX1A PLAN.DOC September. Semi - annual monitoring will be proposed for a period of three years pending the establishment of the mitigation area. Monitoring reports will include photographs, sample plot data, and discussion of any problems that may exist including proposed resolutions. VI. REMEDIAL ACTION t I :M I [ 6 3 � �Y i ) iJ [ U."V 1, In the event that the mitigation area experiences excessive loss of tree seedlings, (i.e., greater than 25 %), replanting will be proposed in accordance with recommendations from local forestry officials. It is not anticipated that establishment of the wetlands area would be a problem given the existing physical and biological characteristics of the subject site. Furthermore, local forestry officials have indicated that the proposed species of the wetlands package have historically had good survival rates. B. HYDROLOGY PROBLEMS Hydrology will be a critical issue in the design and success of the mitigation area. As described in Section II -A, the hydrology is designed to mimic the existing conditions as closely as possible. However, if problems occur (i.e., unsuccessful vegetation survival) remedial action will be proposed. Remedial action may consist of planting tree seedlings that are more adaptive to the mitigated area or may involve regrading and reshaping of the mitigation area. The remedial action will, of course, be dependent upon the actual problem and will be determined accordingly if a problem develops. 10 WMNDDC\ \?V=LAN.DOC VII.
