The Site addresses several issues/stressors identified within the watershed in the Pasquotank River Basin Restoration Priorities (NCEEP 2009) and Pasquotank River Local Watershed Plan (NCEEP 2003) including the following. • Agricultural Runoff • Hydrologic Modifications and Drainage Issues • Nonpoint Source Pollution • Erosion and Sedimentation • Stormwater Runoff • Nutrient Loading • Aquatic Habitat Degradation The Knobs Creek Preservation Project addresses watershed stressors/issues with the following goals. • Protection of water quality by preserving riparian wetlands permanently within a Site owned by the State of North Carolina. • Permanent preservation of riparian wetlands in the Knobbs Creek watershed, which has a large amount of forested area indicating good opportunities for preservation and habitat reconnection via corridors (NCEEP 2009). 2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION 2.1 General Description The North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) has established the Knobs Creek Preservation Project (Site) located off of State Road 1309 (West Main Street Ext.) on the east central edge of Pasquotank County along the Camden and Pasquotank County line. The Site is located in one parcel owned by the State of North Carolina (PIN 840404638181) within 14-digit Cataloging Unit 03010205050010 (sub-basin 03-01-50) of the Pasquotank River Basin (Figures 1-3, Appendix A). The Site is protected by a permanent conservation easement recorded in Deed Book 708 Pages 382-385. Current land-use at the Site is comprised of mature riverine swamp forest. Land-use adjacent to the Site consists of riverine swamp forest and residential development. The conservation easement boundary is well-marked with signage. Knobs Creek Preservation Project EEP ID 209 Page 2 2.2 Directions Directions to the Site from Raleigh (Figure 2, Appendix A): Travel east on I-440 for about 4 miles, Take US-64 E for about 100 miles, Exit onto US-13 N in Williamston, Take US-13 for 15 miles, Take US-17 N for about 40 miles, Turn Left onto West Main Street Extension, Turn right onto Jessup Street, Take second right onto Pine Street, Site is located at the end of Pine Street. Site Latitude, Longitude 36.31267, -76.24098 (NAD83/WGS84) 3.0 SITE SELECTION The Site contains riparian wetlands in the Knobbs Creek stream system, which is currently affected by agricultural runoff, hydrological modification and drainage issues, nonpoint source pollution, erosion and sediment, stormwater runoff, nutrient loading, and aquatic habitat degradation. Conservation Values • Permanent preservation of riparian wetlands in the Knobbs Creek watershed, which has a large amount of forested area indicating good opportunities for preservation and habitat reconnection via corridors (NCEEP 2009). Threats of Adverse Modification The Site’s location in a highly forested area with encroaching disturbance indicates good opportunities for preservation and habitat reconnection via corridors 4.0 BASELINE INFORMATION 4.1 Physical Features The Site is located in the Chesapeake-Pamlico Lowlands and Tidal Marshes ecoregion of the Coastal Plain physiographic region of North Carolina. Topography within the ecoregion is almost entirely flatlands with a near sea level elevation and low streams with mostly sand and silt substrates. Topography within the site ranges from approximately 2 feet above sea level on the corners of the easement to 0 feet above sea level towards the stream in the easement. 4.2 Plant and Wildlife Communities The natural community dominating the Site is Cypress-Gum Swamp (Blackwater Subtype). The vegetation consists of mostly herbaceous and shrub species with mature trees scattered throughout the wetland. Dominant species include blackgum (Nyssa biflora), bald cypress (Taxodium distichum), tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera), loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), and sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua). Dominant understory species include greenbrier (Smilax sp.), muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia), little brown jug (Hexastylis arifolia), cranefly orchid (Tipularia discolor), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), and English ivy (Hedera helix). Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) was observed scattered throughout the Site, namely in and around the peninsular upland in the southwest corner of the boundary. Knobs Creek Preservation Project EEP ID 209 Page 3 4.3 Jurisdictional Wetlands The Site contains one jurisdictional wetland system, which totals 22.02 acres; the table below gives information for each system. Jurisdictional Wetland Characteristics Type (Riparian, non- Riparian, etc.) Description (Floodplain depression, seepage slope, etc.) Acreage Wetland 1 Riparian Riverine Riverine Swamp Forest 22.02 Total 22.02 5.0 SITE PROTECTION INSTRUMENT The land required for stewardship of this mitigation project includes portions of the following parcels. A copy of the recorded conservation easement deed is included in Appendix B. Parcel Landowner PIN County Site Protection Instrument Deed Book and Page Number Date Deed Signed Acreage protected Parcel 1 State of North Carolina 840404638181 Pasquotank Conservation Easement Bk 708 Pg 382-385 December 31, 2001 22.64 acres All site protection instruments require 60-day advance notification to the Corps and the State prior to any action to void, amend, or modify the document. No such action shall take place unless approved by the State. 5.1 Encumbrances Some easement encroachment was observed at the Site. A wooden pier was constructed entirely within the easement on the eastern edge of the Site. Additionally, several structures in the same area are partially within the easement. These areas will not generate mitigation credit. 6.0 DETERMINATION OF CREDITS A delineation of project wetland mitigation assets was conducted in January 2015 with Global Positioning Systems (Figure 4, Appendix A and Wetland Dataforms, Appendix C). The following tables summarize Site 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. Knobs Creek Preservation Project EEP ID 209 Page 4 7.0 LONG-TERM MANAGEMENT PLAN Upon approval for close-out by the Interagency Review Team (IRT), the Site will be transferred to the NCDENR Division of Natural Resource Planning and Conservation’s Stewardship Program. This party shall be responsible for periodic inspection of the site to ensure that restrictions required in the conservation easement or the deed restriction document(s) are upheld. The NCDENR is currently evaluating the endowment model. Until the evaluation is complete and any changes resulting from the model are implemented, the long-term management of this project will be funded annually. 8.0 FINANCIAL ASSURANCES Pursuant to Section IV H and Appendix III of the Ecosystem Enhancement Program’s In-Lieu Fee Instrument dated July 28, 2010, the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources has provided the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington District with a formal commitment to fund projects to satisfy mitigation requirements assumed by EEP. This commitment provides financial assurance for all mitigation projects implemented by the program.
