(Wildlands) implemented a full delivery project at the Perry Hill Mitigation Site (Site) for the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Division of Mitigation Services (DMS). The 26.88-acre Site encompasses portions of Perry Branch, three unnamed tributaries (UT1, UT2, and UT3) and two ephemeral channels (EC1 and EC3), all of which eventually drain to Falls Lake and the Neuse River. A total of 24.53 acres (1,068,625 ft2) of riparian buffer have been restored or enhanced and are expected to generate 868,212.512 riparian buffer credits, with potential to convert some buffer credits to nutrient offset credits dependent on the need. The Site is located approximately three miles northwest of Hillsborough, NC (Figure 1). The project resides within Hydrologic Unit Code 03020201030020 and North Carolina Department of Water Resources (NCDWR) Sub-basin 03-04-01. Three unnamed tributaries (UT1, UT2, and UT3) drain to Perry Branch, which drains to Corporation Lake water supply reservoir on the Eno River, and then Falls Lake. Work at the Site was planned, designed, and constructed per the Perry Hill Mitigation Site – Riparian Buffer Mitigation Plan (Wildlands Engineering, 2020) and the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (effective November 1, 2015). The purpose of the riparian buffer restoration is to provide riparian buffer credits to compensate for buffer impacts within the Hydrologic Unit Code 03020201 and the Falls Lake Watershed. The service area for the riparian buffer credits is depicted in Figure 2. 1.2 Project Goals and Objectives Prior to stream construction, the Perry Hill Site was cattle pasture and livestock had access to all streams, causing streambank erosion. Onsite streams and riparian buffers at the Site were restored and/or enhanced. The major goals of the riparian restoration project are to provide ecological and water quality enhancements to the Neuse River Watershed within the Falls Lake Water Supply Watershed by creating a functional riparian corridor and restoring the riparian area. The project supports specific goals identified in the 2010 Neuse River Basin Restoration Priorities Plan (RBRP) for the Neuse River Targeted Local Watershed (TLW). This document highlights the importance of riparian buffers for stream restoration projects. Forested riparian areas immobilize and retain nutrients and suspended sediment. The RBRP also supports the Falls Lake watershed plan. Falls Lake is a receiving water supply water body downstream of the Site and is classified as WS-IV and NSW. Specific enhancements to water quality and ecological processes are outlined below: • Exclude cattle from project streams – Fencing has been installed around project areas adjacent to cattle pastures. • Restore and enhance native floodplain vegetation – Planted native tree species in riparian zone where tree growth was insufficient. • Permanently protect the project Site from harmful uses – Established a conservation easement on the site. The 26.88-acre Site is protected with a permanent conservation easement. However, in October 2021, waterlines were installed by the tenant farmer within the conservation easement, parallel to the internal crossings without consulting Wildlands. In an effort to find the most reasonable and least disruptive solution, it was decided the area containing the waterlines would be marked as a Perry Hill Mitigation Site Monitoring Year 3 Annual Buffer Report - FINAL 2 maintenance area. This will allow for maintenance in the future and avoid any further easement encroachments. Approximately 20 feet (or a total of 0.19 acres) was added alongside both internal crossings as a maintenance area. No credit is claimed in the maintenance area and project credits were reduced accordingly. Of the 26.88-acres, Neuse riparian buffer credits were generated by restoring 16.65 acres and enhancing 7.88 acres. No buffer credit will be generated from the remaining 2.35 acres. In general, riparian buffer restoration area widths on streams extend out to 50 feet from top of bank on each side of the stream channel. Figure 3 and Table 1 in Appendix 1 detail the buffer credit generation updated to include the maintenance areas. 1.3 Monitoring Year 3 Data Assessment The Mitigation Plan (Wildlands Engineering, 2020) was submitted and accepted by DMS in July 2020. Construction activities by Main Stream Earthwork, Inc. and tree planting by Bruton Natural Systems, Inc. were completed in March and April 2021 respectively. The baseline as-built survey was completed by IPW Construction Group in April 2021. Refer to Appendix 1 for detailed project activity, history, contact information, and watershed/site background information. Vegetative performance for buffer restoration areas will be in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0295(n)(2)(B), and (n)(4) (effective November 1, 2015). To meet success criteria, areas generating buffer mitigation credits shall include a minimum of four native hardwood tree species, where no one species is greater than 50 percent of stems, and shall have a survival of at least 260 planted stems per acre at the end of the required five-year monitoring period. For monitoring to be completed and buffer credit to be awarded, NCDWR must provide written approval of successful revegetation of buffer restoration areas. 1.3.1 Vegetative Assessment The quantity of monitoring vegetation plots was determined in accordance with the Carolina Vegetative Sampling Protocol (Lee et al., 2008) such that at least 2 percent of the Site is encompassed in monitoring plots. A total of fourteen fixed 100 square meter vegetation monitoring quadrants were established within the project easement boundaries. All planted stems were marked with flagging tape and a reference photograph was taken from the southwestern corner of each vegetation plot during vegetation assessments. Annually, trees will be re-marked and plot photos will be taken along with overview photographs of the Site. Species composition, vigor, height, density, and survival rates will be evaluated by plot on an annual basis. The extent of invasive species coverage will also be monitored and controlled as necessary. The MY3 vegetative survey was completed in September 2023. Vegetation monitoring resulted in an average density of 529 stems per acre of project planting list species across all vegetation plots, which exceeds the final success criteria of 260 stems per acre required at MY5. Thirteen of the fourteen vegetation plots individually met the success criteria and planting list stem densities for each plot range from 202 to 769 stems per acre. While vegetation plot 10 does not meet the stem density success criteria, it is not representative of the area surrounding it. There are healthy planted trees outside the plot that seem to be on par with density and growth across the rest of the site. We do not believe it is currently a concern. Plots have an average of 12 planted stems per plot and range from 4 to 10 different species from the project planting list. The majority of surviving planted stems have excellent (4) vigor (see Table 11 in Appendix 3). Additionally, other desirable tree species are establishing themselves including green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), hackberry (Celtis occidentalis), and hickory species (Carya spp.). Perry Hill Mitigation Site Monitoring Year 3 Annual Buffer Report - FINAL 3 The Site is on track to surpass the final success criteria. Refer to Appendix 2 for the vegetation condition assessment table, the monitoring plan view map, vegetation plot and overview photographs. Appendix 3 contains vegetation plot data and the vegetation performance summary table. 1.3.2 Vegetation Areas of Concern Wildlands does not believe the area around vegetation plot 10 has low stem density or needs replanting at this point. As mentioned above, there are healthy planted stems with density and growth that resemble the rest of the site outside the vegetation plot boundary. However, Wildlands will continue to observe the area to confirm that tree health and density stays at an appropriate level. As in the previous year, planted trees are growing well but pasture grasses are still dense in areas. To ensure planted trees remain competitive, herbicide ring sprays were applied around the base of trees where necessary in April 2023. Areas where patches of blackberry (Rubus spp.) were competing with trees along UT2 were treated via mechanical removal or a foliar spray application of triclopyr. Wildlands plans to continue to treat aggressive blackberry growth as needed in spring of 2024. Additionally, follow up treatments were done on a few of stems of Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) along the west side of UT2 using a cut stump application of triclopyr in May 2023. In 2024, Wildlands plans to target scattered resprouts of Chinese privet in the wooded area along Perry Branch Reaches 1 and 2 that was previously treated in 2020. Wildlands will continue to monitor for invasive species and treatments will be applied as necessary. While the vegetation across the maintenance areas is no longer a concern, Wildlands is still working to mark the area appropriately. At the beginning of November, the surveyor was finally able to move the corners of the Perry Hill II bank conservation easement that shares a boundary with the DMS easement, and in doing so, marked the edge of the maintenance area as well. Wildlands would like to order appropriate signs to differentiate the maintenance area from the rest of the conservation easement and will install them in MY4. 1.4 Monitoring Year 3 Summary Vegetation across the Site is exceeding performance standards and is on track to achieve the final requirement of 260 planted stems per acre. Monitoring Year 3 data shows an average density of project planting list tree species of 529 stems per acre across vegetation plots. Competitive vegetation in the form of pasture grasses and blackberry were treated in MY3. Wildlands plans to treat scattered resprouts of invasive species in MY4. Wildlands is working to mark the maintenance area with appropriate signage. The Site has been walked and no fencing issues, livestock access, or other easement encroachments have been identified. Summary information/data related to the performance of various project and monitoring elements can be found in the tables and figures in the report appendices. Narrative background and supporting information, formerly found in these reports, can be found in the Mitigation Plan (Wildlands, 2020) available on DMS’s website. All raw data supporting the tables and figures in the appendices are available from DMS upon request.
