Stream Forms Haw River Tract Preservation Project DMS ID 169 Page 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This addendum gives baseline information and mitigation units for streams and riparian buffer assets located within the Haw River Tract Site (Site). Wetland mitigation units are included in this document; however, remain unchanged from the March 2015 NC Division of Mitigation Services Final Preservation Project and Baseline Documentation Report Haw River Tract. Project goals and objectives, and Site information can be found in that document. The Site is located in southeast Rockingham County, approximately 1 mile south of Williamsburg within the Cape Fear River Basin along the Haw River. The Site contains streams and riparian wetlands within the floodplain of a reach of the Haw River, which is currently affected by numerous stressors including turbidity, nutrient inputs, and habitat degradation. Current agricultural, wastewater, and stormwater runoff, and increasing growth and development pressures within the watershed are becoming of greater concern making preservation of Site streams and wetlands vital to maintaining aquatic habitat within the Haw River and water quality of the Jordan Lake reservoir. 1.0 ADDITIONAL BASELINE INFORMATION Jurisdictional Streams Watershed Summary The Site provides water quality function to a 0.20-square mile (130-acre) watershed at the outfall into the Haw River. The Site drainage area is primarily composed of forested and residential land. Reach Summary The Site borders the Haw River and contains 3 jurisdictional stream reaches (2 perennial and 1 intermittent), which total 1380.69 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 2.0 (Determination of Credits) below. Site streams drain to the Haw River, which is listed as Class C and Nutrient Sensitive Waters by the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR 2013). No areas of concern were observed; all stream reaches within the Site are stable.

The Site is not located within a Targeted Local Watershed; however, it addresses several stressors within the watershed outlined in the Cape Fear River Basin Restoration Priorities (NCEEP 2009) and Cape Fear River Basin Water Quality Plan (NCDWQ 2005) including the following. • Nutrient Inputs • Turbidity • Habitat Degradation • Stormwater, Wastewater, and Agricultural Runoff • Increasing Growth and Development Pressures The Haw River Tract Preservation Site addresses watershed stressors/issues with the following goals. • Protection of water quality in the Jordan Lake Watershed (a water supply reservoir) by preserving wetlands within the Site in a permanent conservation easement. • Permanent preservation of riparian wetlands within the floodplain of a reach of the Haw River containing documented NC Natural Heritage occurrences and habitat for the eastern creekshell (Villosa delumbis) and notched rainbow (Villosa constricta) (Alderman 2004). • Permanent preservation of riparian wetlands within the floodplain of a reach of the Haw River located approximately 9 miles upstream of the Altamahaw Alluvial Forest Natural Community. • Permanent preservation of riparian wetlands within the floodplain of a reach of the Haw River classified as Nutrient Sensitive Waters within a Water Supply V Watershed (NCDWR 2013). 2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION 2.1 General Description The North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) has established the Haw River Tract Preservation Site located off of U.S. Highway 150 in the southeast portion of Rockingham County. The Site is located in one parcel, PIN 89210066077, within 14-digit Cataloging Unit 03030002010040 (sub-basin 03-06-01) of the Cape Fear River Basin, and is part of the Jordan Lake Watershed (a water supply reservoir) (Figures 1-3, Appendix A). The Site is protected by a permanent conservation easement recorded in Deed Book 1104 Page 311-315. Current land use at the Site is comprised of mixed hardwood forest, and land surrounding the Site consists primarily of mixed hardwood forest and agricultural fields. The conservation easement boundary is well- marked with signs at each corner. Haw River Tract Preservation Project EEP ID 169 Page 2 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 1.3 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 continue on NC-150 E for 1.9 miles, Turn right on Haw Road, The site access is on the left in 1 mile. Site Latitude, Longitude: 36.26666, -79.58947 (NAD83/WGS84) 3.0 SITE SELECTION The Site contains riparian wetlands within the floodplain of a reach of the Haw River, which is currently affected by numerous stressors including increased turbidity, nutrient inputs, and habitat degradation resulting primarily from current agricultural, stormwater, and wastewater runoff in addition to expanding development. Conservation Values • The Site is located within the floodplain of a reach of the Haw River containing documented NC Natural Heritage occurrences and habitat for the eastern creekshell (Villosa delumbis) and notched rainbow (Villosa constricta) (Alderman 2004). • The Site is located within the floodplain of a reach of the Haw River located approximately 9 miles upstream of the Altamahaw Alluvial Forest Natural Community. • Permanently preserves riparian wetlands within the floodplain of the Haw River within the Jordan Lake Watershed (a water supply reservoir). Threats of Adverse Modification Adjacent agricultural land and increasing growth and development pressures adjacent to the Site threaten Site riparian wetlands; therefore, preservation of the Site is important to maintaining water quality and habitat in the Haw River watershed, and ultimately within the Jordan Lake Watershed. 4.0 BASELINE INFORMATION 4.1 Physical Features The Site lies within both the Northern Inner Piedmont and Southern Outer Piedmont ecoregions 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 nearly level with elevations ranging from 640 feet to 660 feet above sea level. 4.2 Plant and Wildlife Communities The natural communities dominating the Site are Piedmont Bottomland Forest within the wetlands and Mesic-Mixed Hardwood Forest (Piedmont subtype) in the upland areas. The vegetation is mature with a relatively full canopy throughout. Characteristic tree and shrub species include red Haw River Tract Preservation Project EEP ID 169 Page 3 maple (Acer rubrum), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), American beech (Fagus grandifolia), swamp chestnut oak (Quercus michauxii), southern red oak (Quercus falcata), river birch (Betula nigra), sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), shagbark hickory (Carya ovata), ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana), box elder (Acer negundo), and American holly (Ilex opaca). Dominant understory species include blue-eyed grass (Sisyrinchium sp.), wild garlic (Allium vineale), greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia), muscadine (Muscadinia rotundifolia), blackberry (Rubus sp.), and poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans). Invasive species were observed in minimal quantities throughout the Site and include Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), and Japanese stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum). 4.3 Jurisdictional Wetlands The Site contains 10 jurisdictional wetland systems, which total 23.09 acres; the table below gives information for each system.
