Fourth Annual Report for Evans / Ballahack Bank Parcel
DWR Project # 130189
Greene Environmental Services, LLC
Tar River Umbrella Mitigation Bank
November 2016
Introduction and Backizround
The report is the fourth annual monitoring report for the Evans / Ballahack Bank Parcel. Greene
Environmental Services, LLC (GES) of Snow Hill, North Carolina, in 2013, established this
riparian buffer/nutrient offset mitigation site in the Tar River Basin. The site is located east of the
Edgecombe County town of Tarboro, NC and may be accessed by driving east on US 264
approximately 5 miles from Tarboro (Figure 1). At Exit 491, take Chinquapin Road (SR 1524) 2
miles north to NC 111. Take a right turn on NC 111 and drive approximately 0.3 miles and take
a right turn onto Roberson School Road (SR 1524). Continue on Roberson School Road for
approximately 0.6 miles and take a right turn onto the unnamed farm road with circular metal
grain storage buildings located in the distance from the road. Continue 0.3 miles on farm road to
a bridge over a drainage canal. The project site is located to the east of the canal and south of the
metal buildings along a streamside tree line (Figures 2 and 3). The purpose of the nutrient
mitigation bank is to improve water quality within the Tar River Basin by reducing nutrient and
sediment inputs to the watershed and provide off-site mitigation for development requiring
nutrient offsets.
The bank parcel is located within the Lower Tar Watershed (HUC: 03020103). The bank parcel
buffers an un -named tributary to Ballahack Canal which in turn is a tributary to Conetoe Creek
which enters the Tar River near the Pitt County town of Falkland, NC. Ballahack Canal is an
impaired stream with the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources —
Division of Water Resources designation: 28-87-1.2 C NSW 8.4 mi. AL B-9 SS --02 I FS. The
local landscape is in row crop agriculture, cut -over forest scrubland and forest. Soils range from
well drained loamy sands to very poorly drained loams (Figure 4). In the 2012 growing season,
prior to the installation of tree seedlings, the site was in soybean production.
The bank parcel is 10 acres, including 5.45 acres (237,402 square feet) of Tar -Pamlico riparian
buffer credit and 4.55 acres (198,198 square feet) of nutrient offset buffer credit (Figures 5a and
5b). Nitrogen and phosphorus credits generated by the nutrient offset buffet total 10,342.24 lb -N
at 2,273.02 lb-N/acre and 666.12 lb -P at 146.4 lb-P./acre. This bank parcel was established under
the terms and conditions of the Greene Environmental Services Tar -Pamlico River Basin
Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Umbrella Bank.
The parcel is located in the Edgecombe County Drainage District #2 which includes Ballahack
Canal. The Drainage District maintains a 20 -foot easement along the Canal. When designing the
3

Evans Ballahack Bank Parcel the area under easement was avoided such that the easement nor
any drainage structures were encumbered by the Bank.
Seedling Planting Design
The Evans/Ballahack Bank Parcel was initially planted with character trees in February and
March of 2013. The suite of tree species selected for the bank parcel should be well -adapted or
tolerant to the soil and drainage conditions throughout the site.
Soils at the Evans/Ballahack mitigation site were loams and sandy loams and ranged from very
poorly drained soils to well -drained; historic ditching has most likely increase the rate of soil
drainage (Figure 4). Bareroot seedlings were obtained from the North Carolina Forest Service
Nursery, Claridge Nursery, Goldsboro, NC. All tree seedlings planted generally ranged in height
from 1 foot to 4 feet. The species most frequently planted on soils with poor drainage were bald
cypress, black gum and river birch (Table 1). The species most frequently planted on better
drained soils were red oak and white oak. Persimmon, yellow poplar, sycamore, water oak and
willow oak were planted throughout with the exception of areas which exhibited frequent
ponding. Seedlings were planted in rows roughly paralleling the buffered stream at IOft by l Oft
spacings.
A total of 5000 bareroot seedlings, thus averaging 500 seedlings per acre, of ten character
species were planted at the Evans/Ballahack parcel during February and March 2013 (Table 2).
Yellow poplar, black gum, white oak and bald cypress were the most frequently planted species,
accounting for 52% of the seedlings planted. River birch, sycamore, water oak and willow oak
accounted for 40% of the total seedlings planted. Persimmon and red oak accounted for 8% of
the total seedlings planted. While planting, soils, microsite and surface drainage conditions were
noted and appropriate species were planted on these sites (Table 1).
In addition to the initial planting, a supplemental planting was undertaken in January of 2014.
Based on a visual assessment and cursory quantitative assessment, there were sizeable gaps in
seedling success within the tracts that were not necessarily reflected in monitoring plot records.
A total of 800 additional seedlings were planted in two parallel rows running the length of the
Parcel. Bareroot seedlings planted were two hundred each of sycamore (Platanus occidentalis),
white oak (Quercus alba), red oak (Q. rubra) and bald cypress (Taxodium distichum) (Table 2).
This increased the percentage of planted seedling of sycamore, white oak, red oak and bald
cypress by 12, 16, 7 and 4 percent, respectively, while reducing the percentage for all other
species.
Monitoring Plots
Surveyed boundary points were demarked with 6 -foot metal T -posts and the boundary between
the mitigation parcel and the adjacent agricultural land was marked with white, 5 -foot PVC posts
atop metal rods at 100 -foot intervals. Four, 10m by 10m (0.0247 -acre) monitoring plots were
established on the parcel using CVS protocols (Figures 5a and 5b). Tracts 2 and 4 each have one
plot; the largest tract, Tract 3, has two plots. The corners of each plot were marked with white,
10 -foot PVC posts atop metal rods. Seedlings within the monitoring plots were flagged with
blue, plastic, flagging tape and white pin flags. All seedlings within each plot were located and
4

mapped (Figures 6a -6d). Plot photographs were made from a location at the northwest corner
with a view toward the southeast corner (Figure 7).
Fourth Year Monitoring Plot Data Analysis
As per discussions with NC DEQ, Division of Water Resources staff, planted saplings of water
oak and willow oak were not used as criteria to measure stand establishment success in
Monitoring Plot BLK-3. Plot BLK-3 is located approximately 100 feet from a mature forest
stand on property adjacent to the Bank Parcel. The mature stand contains specimens of water oak
and willow oak thus they are potential sources of propagules for natural colonization. The other
three monitoring plots are of sufficient distance from the mature stand that natural colonization
was deemed unlikely. The data analyses that follow exclude water oak and willow oak counts in
Plot BLK-3.
Monitoring plots surveys are normally undertaken during September or October, however, there
was regional flooding during and in the week following the passage of Hurricane Matthew off of
the North Carolina coast. There was evidence that portions of the Bank were inundated during
this event. Consequently, the survey was not conducted until November 9, 2016. There had not
been a killing frost by that date and determining seedling or tree identity or survival was not
compromised.
In November 2016, near the end of the third growing season an average sapling density among
the four monitoring plots was 11.3+2.5 saplings per plot (Table 3). Thus a calculated average
density of 455.5+106.2 saplings per acre (Table 4). Plot BLK-3 had the greatest density with 14
saplings per 100m2 plot, thus 566.8 seedlings per acre. Plots BLK-2 had the lowest density with
8 seedlings, thus 323.9 seedlings per acre.
The most frequently encountered species based on percent relative density within the monitoring
plots were red oak (Quercus rubrum) and bald cypress (Taxodium distichum), accounting for
15+12 and 15+29 percent, respectively, of the saplings found in the four plots (Table 5). River
birch (Betula nigra), blackgum, (Nyssa sylvatica) and white oak (Q. alba) were equally
represented at 14 percent each, of the total saplings. Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) sapling
density was 12 percent and all other species were eight percent or less of the total sapling
density. American persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) seedlings were planted in the Ballahack
Parcel but were not recorded within the monitoring plots.
Sycamore saplings were the tallest species encountered in the plots at an average of 3.0±0.6
meters among the four plots (Table 6). River birch and willow oak averaged over 2.0 meters and
all other species averaged less than two meters. Poplar and blackgum were the shortest species
and exhibited indications of grazing by deer.
A comparison of sapling success in the monitoring plots at the end of the third growing season,
2015, to the end of the fourth growing in 2016 indicated that two species declined in stem
density among the four monitoring plots; bald cypress and sycamore densities were 70.9 and
50.6 stems per acre, respectively, a reduction from 2015 by 10.1 stems per acre each (Table 7).
5

Stem density by all other species did not change. Overall, average stem density among the four
plots was 475.8 in 2015 and 455.5 in 2016; a decline of 20.3 stems per acre. The target stem
density is 320 stems per acre thus the Bank is exceeding the target density by 125.5 stems per
acre.
Overall Success, Continued Monitoring and Maintenance Plan
The Evans/Ballahack Parcel will be monitored next during the 2017 growing season to ensure
that the parcel boundaries and signage are maintained and that easement terms are in compliance.
Between late August and October of 2017 the monitoring plots will be assessed and
photographed, and the fifth annual report will be submitted to the NC-DWR by December 31,
2017. Pending compliance with Bank success criteria established in the Ballahack Bank Parcel
Development Package submitted to NC-DWR in 2013 and approval of NC-DWR staff, the 2017
annual report will be the final annual report submitted by Greene Environmental Services.
