The Site is located within Targeted Local Watershed (TLW) 03 03 0002010010 and the Troublesome and Little Troublesome Creeks Local Watershed Plan Summary (NCEEP 2004). Based on the Local Watershed Plan and the Cape Fear River Basin Restoration Priorities (NCEEP 2009) stressors within the Troublesome Creek watershed include the following. • Stream Channel Erosion • Sedimentation • Fecal Coliform Bacteria • Habitat Degradation • Stormwater and Agricultural Runoff • Increasing Growth and Development Pressures The Flint Rock Farm #2 Preservation Site addresses watershed stressors /issues with the following goals. • Protection of water quality in the Lake Reidsville and Jordan Lake Watersheds (two water supply reservoirs) by preserving wetlands and riparian buffers within the Site in a permanent conservation easement. • Permanent preservation of headwater streams and associated wetlands and riparian buffers in the Troublesome Creek stream system and Lake Reidsville watershed, which is affected by stormwater and agricultural runoff, and increasing development pressure making the TLW a priority for stream and wetland preservation (NCEEP 2009). • Permanent preservation of headwater streams and associated wetlands and riparian buffers in the Troublesome Creek stream system and Lake Reidsville watershed, where water quality and aquatic habitat are threatened by continued growth and expansion of the Triad Metropolitan Region, which has a significant potential to increase nutrient loading in Lake Reidsville and cause degrading stream erosion and instability due to the highly erodible soils in the watershed (NCEEP 2004). 2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION 2.1 General Description The North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) has established the Flint Rock Farm #2 Preservation Site located off of U.S. Highway 158 in the southwest portion of Rockingham County. The Site is located in two parcels, PIN- 795200627891 and PIN - 795200515608, within 14 -digit Cataloging Unit 03030002010010 (sub -basin 03- 06 -01) of the Cape Fear River Basin, and is part of the Lake Reidsville and Jordan Lake Watersheds (two water supply reservoirs) (Figures 1 -3, Appendix A). The Site is protected by a permanent conservation easement recorded in Deed Book 1365 Pages 1274 -1285. Current land use at the Site is comprised of mixed hardwood forest, and land surrounding the Site consists primarily of mixed hardwood forest and pasture primarily grazed by horses. The conservation easement boundary is well- marked with signs at each corner. Flint Rock Farm #2 Preservation Project EEP ID 92812 Page 1 2.2 Directions Directions to the Site from Raleigh (Figure 2, Appendix A): ➢ Take I -40 West to exit 140 (University Drive), ➢ Turn right onto University Drive and travel 1.9 miles, ➢ Turn left onto Westbrook Avenue and travel 0.6 miles, ➢ Take a right onto Springwood Avenue followed by an immediate left onto Burke Street, ➢ Turn left onto Main Street then right onto Wharton Avenue/NC -61 N, ➢ Follow NC -61 N for 9.7 miles, then turn left onto Osceola - Ossipee Road (NC -150 W), ➢ Follow NC -150 W for 10.9 miles, then turn right onto N Church Street, ➢ After 4.1 miles, turn left onto US -158 W, ➢ The Site is on the right after 2.2 miles on Flintrock Trail. ➢ Site Latitude, Longitude: 36.28208, - 79.82494 (NAD83/WGS84) 3.0 SITE SELECTION The Site contains headwater streams in the Troublesome Creek stream system and Lake Reidsville Watershed, which is currently affected by numerous stressors including increased fecal coliform bacteria, bank erosion, sedimentation, and habitat degradation resulting primarily from current agricultural runoff and expanding development. Conservation Values Permanently preserves headwater streams, wetlands, and riparian buffers of the Troublesome Creek stream system and Lake Reidsville and Jordan Lake Watersheds (two water supply reservoirs). Threats of Adverse Modification Adjacent agricultural land and increasing growth and development pressures adjacent to the Site threaten Site streams, wetlands, and buffers; therefore, preservation of the Site is important to maintaining water quality and habitat in the Troublesome Creek watershed, and ultimately within the Lake Reidsville and Jordan Lake Watersheds. 4.0 BASELINE INFORMATION 4.1 Physical Features The Site lies within the Northern Inner Piedmont ecoregion of the Piedmont physiographic region of North Carolina. Topography within the ecoregion is generally comprised of dissected irregular plans, low to high hills, ridges, and isolated monadnocks, and low- to moderate - gradient streams with mostly cobble, gravel, and sandy substrates. Topography within the Site is moderate with elevations ranging from 760 feet on Troublesome Creek to 840 feet above sea level at the top of the Stream 1. 4.2 Plant and Wildlife Communities The natural communities dominating the Site are Piedmont Bottomland Forest within the floodplains and Mesic Mixed Hardwood Forest (Piedmont subtype) on the upland side slopes. The vegetation is mature with a relatively full canopy throughout. Characteristic species include red maple (Acer rubrum), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), American beech (Fagus grandifolia), swamp chestnut oak (Quercus michauxii), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), cherrybark oak (Quercus pagoda), river birch (Betula nigra), sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), Flint Rock Farm #2 Preservation Project EEP ID 92812 Page 2 shagbark hickory (Carya ovata), white oak (Quercus alba), ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana), eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), American elm (Ulmus americana), willow oak (Quercus phellos), southern red oak (Quercus falcata), American holly (Ilex opaca), strawberry bush (Euonymous americanus), greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia), muscadine (Muscadinia rotundifolia), blackberry (Rubus sp.), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), crossvine (Bignonia capreolata), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides), and microstegium (Microstegium vimeneum). Wetland areas within the study area also contain species such as crimson -eyed rosemallow (Hibiscus moscheutos), tearthumb (Polygonum sagittatum), false nettle (Boehmeria cylindrica), and soft rush (Juncus effusus). 4.3 Jurisdictional Streams Watershed Summary The Site provides water quality function to a 0.18- square mile (100 -acre) watershed at the Site outfall into Troublesome Creek (Figure 3, Appendix A). The Site drainage area is primarily composed of agricultural and forested land. Reach Summary The Site borders Troublesome Creek and contains 4 jurisdictional stream reaches (2 perennial, 1 intermittent, and 1 that is both perennial and intermittent), which total 4083.58 linear feet of stream; the table below gives information for each reach. Buffer widths vary for each reach ranging from buffer on one side of the stream only to greater than 100 feet from the top of bank on both sides of the stream; more detailed buffer width information is included in Section 6.0 (Determination of Credits) below. Site streams drain to Troublesome Creek, which is listed as Water Supply — III and Nutrient Sensitive Waters by the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR 2013). An approximately 8 -foot wide horse trail was observed crossing the Site, including a wooden bridge over the stream (Figure 4, Appendix A). An additional horse trail, approximately 4 feet wide, was observed running adjacent to the stream for about 300 feet before turning out of the easement into the gas line easement (Figure 4, Appendix A). Additionally, a large beaver dam on Troublesome Creek at the north end of the site is impounding water into the site (Figure 4, Appendix A). Otherwise, no areas of concern were observed; all stream reaches within the Site are stable. 4.4 Jurisdictional Wetlands The Site contains 4 jurisdictional wetland systems, which total 7.47 acres; the table below gives information for each system.

No such action shall take place unless approved by the State. 5.1 Encumbrances The Site conservation easement is bisected by a gas pipeline. Two cleared horse trails are located within the conservation easement and will not generate mitigation credit. In addition, a large beaver impoundment is located in the northwest corner of the Site; streams (Stream 3) within this area are completely impounded and will not generate mitigation credit (Figure 4, Appendix A). 6.0 DETERMINATION OF CREDITS Project mitigation assets were originally delineated in January 2009 using Global Positioning Systems. Field reconnaissance with Global Positioning Systems was conducted in January 2015 to validate perennial and intermittent stream lengths and locations, and the wetland delineation (Figure 4, Appendix A; Stream Data forms, Appendix C; Wetland Dataforms, Appendix D). The following tables summarize Site stream reaches and mitigation assets. All credits will be released upon IRT approval. The project service area will be in compliance with the EEP In -Lieu Fee Instrument.
