1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Michael Baker Engineering, Inc. (Baker) restored 3,926 linear feet (LF) of perennial and intermittent stream,
2.8 acres (AC) of riparian wetlands, and planted 17.5 acres (AC) of native riparian vegetation within the entire
conservation easement along two unnamed tributaries (UT2 and UT3) to St. Clair Creek in Beaufort County,
North Carolina (NC) (Figure 1). The St. Clair Creek Restoration Project (Site) is located in Beaufort County,
approximately five miles east of the Town of Bath. The Site is located in the NC Division of Water Resources
(NCDWR) subbasin 03-03-07 and the NC Department of Environmental Quality (NC DEQ) (formerly
Department of Environment and Natural Resources) and Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) formerly
Ecosystem Enhancement Program) Targeted Local Watershed (TLW) 03020104-040040 of the Tar -Pamlico
River Basin. The project involved the restoration of a Coastal Plain Headwater Small Stream Swamp system
(NC WAM 2010, Schafale and Weakley 1990) from impairments within the project area due to past agricultural
conversion and silviculture.
The primary restoration goals of the project were to improve ecological functions to the impaired areas within
the Tar -Pamlico River Basin as described below:
Create geomorphically stable conditions along the unnamed tributaries across the project,
Implement agricultural BMPs to reduce nonpoint source inputs to the downstream estuary,
Protect and improve water quality by reducing nutrient and sediment inputs,
Restore stream and wetland hydrology by connecting historic flow paths and promoting natural flood
processes, and
Restore and protect riparian buffer functions and corridor habitat in perpetuity by establishing a
permanent conservation easement.
To accomplish these goals, the following objectives were identified:
Restore existing channelized streams by restoring the relic headwater valley and allowing diffuse flow,
providing the streams access to their floodplains,
Increase aquatic habitat value by allowing natural microtopography to form,
Plant native species riparian buffer vegetation within the headwater valley and floodplain areas, and
within the wetland areas, protected by a permanent conservation easement, to increase stormwater
runoff filtering capacity, decrease erosion, and shade the stream to decrease water temperature,
Improve aquatic and terrestrial habitat through improved substrate and in -stream cover, addition of
woody debris, and reduction of water temperature, and
Control invasive species vegetation within the project area and if necessary continue treatments during
the monitoring period.
During Year 2 monitoring, the planted acreage performance categories were functioning at 100 percent with no
bare areas or low stem density areas to report. The average density of total planted stems, based on data
collected from the nine monitoring plots during Year 2 monitoring, is 643 stems per acre. The Year 2 data
demonstrate that the Site is on track for meeting the minimum success interim criteria of 320 trees per acre by
the end of Year 3.
Following Year 2 monitoring, Pinus taeda (loblolly pine) was documented in the areas of UT2. The loblolly
pines are currently short but do have the potential to pose a future threat to the survival of planted species
installed during the construction phase. To prevent this nuisance species from affecting the planted stems, a
MICHAEL BAKER INTERNATIONAL
ST. CLAIR CREEK RESTORATION PROJECT, DMS PROJECT NUMBER - 95015
MARCH 2016, MONITORING YEAR 2 OF 7
thinning and removal effort will take place in Year 3/2016 and will target the loblolly pine. The methods used
will be either hand/power tools and/or chemical applications.
In the fall of 2015, the restoration site landowner cut a network of drainage ditches adjacent to the easement
boundaries of both UT2 and UT3 (shown as dashed green lines on Figure 3). The landowner implemented a
plan to re -cut pre-existing lateral drainage ditches that joined a new deeper ditch that directly abuts the Site's
conservation easements. These new ditches were cut on the eastern and western boundary of UT2 as well as
the western boundary of UT3. The landowner cut the ditches with the intent to drain water away from his pine
plantation that abuts both easement boundaries on the west and east. Additionally, the property and farm access
road that lies to the north of the Site is also retaining water and needs to drain across the northern road into the
conservation easement to prevent hydrologic trespass.
To remedy this ditching impact as described above, a proposed work plan described in Section 2.2.1 will take
place in three different locations: (1) The northern conservation easement boundary of UT 2 along the existing
farm road, (2) the western conservation easement boundary of UT2 along the wetland restoration area, and (3)
along the western conservation easement boundary of UT3 along the wetland restoration area.
Year 2 wetland groundwater monitoring demonstrated that 3 of 4 groundwater monitoring wells located along
UT2 and UT3 exhibited water levels within 12 inches of the ground surface that was greater than 12 percent of
the growing season. The four on-site wetland monitoring wells demonstrated consecutive hydroperiods, which
ranged from 3.3 to 13.4 percent of the growing season. The growing season for Beaufort County is from
February 28 to December 6 (282 days). Additionally, during Year 2 monitoring, the on-site wetland reference
wells demonstrated consecutive hydroperiods, which ranged from 57.9 to 60.1 percent of the growing season.
To provide additional groundwater data during the monitoring period, four new monitoring wells will be
installed at the beginning of the growing season in Year 3/2016. These four additional wells will provide
additional wetland success data, as well as collect groundwater levels adjacent to the areas where the additional
ditching repairs will take place. These four new wells are to be installed as shown in Figure 2.
On-site flow through the restored headwater valleys of UT2 and UT3 was recorded periodically throughout
2015 by the use of pressure transducers. Of the six flow gauges installed on the Site, all gauges recorded flow
in 2015. The flow gauges documented flow through the headwater valleys during Year 2, which ranged from
16.4 to 43.9 consecutive days. It is noted that the flow gauges demonstrated similar flow events relative to
rainfall events on site as demonstrated in the gauge graphs in Appendix D.
In addition, currently contracted riparian buffer credits have been included as part of the project as referenced
by the "Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation" memo from Karen Higgins (NCDWR) dated January 7, 2016 and
included as an asset in this report. As part of the St. Clair Creek Restoration project, Riparian Buffer credits in
excess of the contracted 6.8 acres (296,208 square feet) will be provided. Monitoring for success of riparian
buffers will continue to follow the existing vegetation monitoring protocol and success criteria as stated in the
approved mitigation plan for stream and wetland vegetation success. No additional vegetation monitoring plots
are required to monitor buffer success as the existing monitoring plots serve to monitor the success of the
vegetation of the headwater coastal plain stream and the riparian buffer.
Summary information/data related to the Site and statistics related to 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 Baseline Monitoring Report and in
the Mitigation Plan available on the North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services (NCDMS) website. All
raw data supporting the tables and figures in the Appendices are available from NCDMS upon request.

MARCH 2016, MONITORING YEAR 2 OF 7
2.0 METHODOLOGY
The seven-year monitoring plan for the Site includes criteria to evaluate the success of the stream, wetland and
vegetation components of the project. The methodology and report template used to evaluate these components
adheres to the NCDMS monitoring guidance document dated November 7, 2011, which will continue to serve
as the template for subsequent monitoring years. The specific locations of monitoring features, such as
vegetation plots, flow gauges and wells are shown on the CCPV sheets found in Appendix B.
The Year 2 well and flow data were collected December 2015. All visual site assessment data contained in
Appendix B were collected in November 2015.
2.1 Stream Assessment — Reaches UT2 and UT3
The UT2 and UT3 mitigation approach involved the restoration of historic flow patterns and flooding functions
in a multi -thread headwater stream system, monitoring efforts will focus on visual observations to document
stability and the use of water level monitoring gauges to document saturation and flooding functions. The
methods used and any related success criteria are described below for each parameter. Monitoring efforts focus
on visual observations and in -channel flow gauges/pressure transducers to document stream success. Stream
survey data was collected to a minimum of Class C Vertical and Class A Horizontal Accuracy using Leica TS06
Total Station and was georeferenced to the NAD83 State Plane Coordinate System, FIPS3200 in US Survey
Feet, which was derived from the As -built Survey. This survey system collects point data with an accuracy of
less than one tenth of a foot.
2.1.1 Hydrology
Total observed area rainfall for the period of January 2015 through November 2015 was 48.76 inches,
as compared to the Beaufort County WETS table for the same period of 46.68 inches annually.
Four automated flow gauges (pressure transducers) were installed in the UT2 channel as well as two
flow gauges installed in the UT3 channel. The gauges were installed approximately 500 feet apart
within the restored systems to document flow duration. The automated loggers were programmed to
collect data at every 15 minutes to document flow frequency and duration. Success criteria are
considered to have been met if 30 consecutive days of flow were observed at any point during the
monitoring year. Results indicate that flow gauges 1, 2, 5, and 6 each met the minimum consecutive
days of surface flow required for success, while flow gauges 3 and 4 did not. The complete flow data
and observed rainfall graphs for each gauge, along with the flow gauge success summary Table 11 are
located in Appendix D.
2.1.2 Photographic Documentation
The reaches were photographed longitudinally beginning at the downstream end of both reaches,
moving upstream to the beginning of each reach. Photographs were taken looking upstream at
delineated locations throughout the restored stream valley. Points were close enough together to
provide an overall view of the reach lengths and valley crenulations. Photographs of photo points,
wetland wells, and flow gauges are located in Appendix B.
2.2 Wetland Assessment
Wetland monitoring is assessed by the use of four automated groundwater -monitoring stations that are installed
in the UT2 and UT3 wetland restoration areas, as well as two additional reference wells installed in the
downstream portion of the UT3 wetland restoration area. Installation of these groundwater monitoring stations
follow Corps of Engineers Wetlands Research Program Technical Note VN-rs-4.1 (USACE 1997).
MICHAEL BAKER INTERNATIONAL
ST. CLAIR CREEK RESTORATION PROJECT, DMS PROJECT NUMBER - 95015
MARCH 2016, MONITORING YEAR 2 OF 7
The automated loggers are programmed to collect data every 6 hours to document groundwater levels in the
restored wetland areas. The success criteria for wetland hydrology are considered to have been met when the
site is saturated within 12 inches of the soil surface for a consecutive number of days equal to a minimum of
12% of the growing season (34 consecutive days at this site). Results indicate that monitoring wells 1, 3, and
4 all met the minimum saturation success criteria while well 2 did not. Restoration well data and reference well
data collected during Year 2 monitoring are located in Appendix D.
2.2.1 Wetland Concerns
Ditching
In the fall of 2015, the restoration site landowner cut a network of drainage ditches adjacent to the
easement boundaries of both UT2 and UT3 (See Figure 3). The landowner implemented a plan to re-
cut pre-existing ditches that joined a new deeper ditch that directly abuts the Site's conservation
easements. These new ditches were cut on the eastern and western boundary of UT2 as well as the
western boundary of UT3. The landowner cut the ditches with the intent to drain water away from his
pine plantation that abuts both easement boundaries on the west and east. Additionally, the property
and farm access road that lies to the north of the Site is also retaining water and needs to drain across
the northern road into the conservation easement to prevent hydrologic trespass.
The work described above was designed and implemented without first consulting Baker. The ditches
were first discovered during fall monitoring in late 2015.
To remedy the potential impacts of the new ditch network on restored wetland functions, Baker is
implementing a work plan to alleviate the hydrologic trespass outside of the conservation easement and
to fill the new ditches so wetland hydrology will be unimpaired. The proposed work will take place in
three different locations (Figure 3). (1) The northern conservation easement boundary of UT 2 along
the existing farm road, (2) the western conservation easement boundary of UT2 along the wetland
restoration area, and (3) along the western conservation easement boundary of UT3 along the wetland
restoration area.
Location (1): Work in this area will consist of connecting existing shallow drainage ditches from an
adjacent property across the farm road into the conservation easement on UT2. A shallow ditch (1'
deep by 2' wide) will be cut through the farm road and then filled with rip rap outside of the easement
to allow water to filter through the rock (French drain) and move across the road, but will also allow
the landowner to cross easily. Once the rock -filled ditch reaches the conservation easement boundary,
a shallow, wide, flat depression (10' wide by F deep with a 0% slope) will be excavated to tie these
depressions into the existing ground elevations within the conservation easement. The locations shown
as pink lines on Figure 3 are to scale (length) and are aligned as such to utilize the existing drainage
paths as discovered during a field visit for storm event. Flow will be diffuse through these depressions.
These areas within the conservation easement will be seeded and re -planted with bare -root trees.
Location (2): Work in this area will consist of excavating shallow and wide depressions through the
wetland restoration polygon along UT 2 to connect and help drain the existing lateral ditches outside
the conservation easement that were plugged during construction. The depressions will be
approximately 10' wide and F deep. The depression depth of 1' will be measured down from the
existing ground surface inside the wetland area at the conservation easement boundary with the intent
to prevent hydrologic trespass within the landowner's existing pine timber. The depression bottoms
will be significantly higher than the existing lateral ditch bottoms within the timber. The depressions
will essentially be a zero slope and will rely on the hydraulic head from the groundwater within the
timber to promote flow. It is anticipated that flow will be diffuse and very low. The depressions will
be excavated inside the conservation easement only as far as needed to tie into the existing ground
elevations. The lengths of these depressions are shown to scale on the attached figure and are based
upon survey data collected in early February 2016. The required excavations will be decrease as the
MICHAEL BAKER INTERNATIONAL
ST. CLAIR CREEK RESTORATION PROJECT, DMS PROJECT NUMBER - 95015
MARCH 2016, MONITORING YEAR 2 OF 7
depressions get closer to the stream. In addition, the recently excavated ditch adjacent to the
conservation easement will be filled. This is shown as a green dashed line on the attached figure. The
disturbed areas within the conservation easement will be seeded and re -planted with bare -root trees.
Location (3): Work in this area will consist of only removing a small (-5' wide) plug that separates the
newly excavated ditch along UT3 (dashed green line in Figure 3) and existing small depressions within
the conservation easement. These depressions are likely old remnant ditches excavated many years
before the current conditions. These depressions are vegetated and shallow which will serve to prevent
hydrologic trespass in the timber areas outside the conservation easement between UT 2 and UT 3.
Little to no grading will be required inside the conservation easement along UT 3. In addition, the
recently excavated ditch adjacent to the conservation easement will be filled.
Construction of the proposed activities as described above is scheduled to be implemented in Year 3
(March 2016).
Additional Monitoring Wells
It is noted that in the spring of 2015 three wetland restoration wells (SCAW1, SCAW2 and SCAW4)
had accumulated bentonite/mud in the bottom of the well casings. A thick, gooey material was found
to be clogging the water pressure sensors located in the bottom of the pressure transducers. This
accumulation of material was suspected to be the likely the cause for the observed erroneous water
levels recorded in the well casings. To verify groundwater depths and check for logger accuracy,
manual groundwater measurements were recorded during three site visits and compared to datalogger
readings in the appropriate date/time windows. The manual measurements were then used to determine
if there were any significant differences in the recorded groundwater levels. After comparing the data,
it was found that three wetland restoration loggers had errors in depth than was recorded manually. To
correct this issue, all well casings, including SCAW3 were pumped to clear excess bentonite/mud that
had built up and to prevent further buildup on the pressure sensors. The on-site reference wells were
not pumped during this time. Additionally, links in the suspension chains from which the loggers hang
in the well casings were also removed so the chain would be shorter. This was an effort to raise the
loggers off the bottom of the well casings as to be above the bentonite/mud buildup. Subsequent to
these adjustments, all on-site well data loggers now are free of bentonite and the atmospheric pressure
hole is clear of any obstructions.
Four new monitoring wells will be installed at the beginning of the growing season in Year 3/2016.
These additional wells will provide additional wetland success data, as well as collect groundwater
levels in the areas adjacent to where the additional ditching repairs will take place. These four new
wells are to be installed as shown in Figure 3.
2.3 Vegetation Assessment
In order to determine if the criteria are achieved, vegetation -monitoring quadrants were installed and are
monitored across the restoration site in accordance with the CVS-NCDMS Protocol for Recording Vegetation,
Version 4.1 (2007) and the CVS-NCDMS data entry tool v 2.3.1 (2012). The vegetation monitoring plots are
a minimum of 2 percent of the planted portion of the Site with nine plots established randomly within the Site's
planted riparian buffer areas per Monitoring Levels 1. The sizes of individual quadrants are 100 square meters
for woody tree species.
Year 2 vegetation assessment information is provided in Appendix B and C.
2.3.1 Vegetation Concerns
Following Year 2 monitoring, Pinus taeda (loblolly pine) was documented in the area of UT2. The
loblolly pines are currently short but have the potential to pose a future threat to the survival of planted
species installed during the construction phase. To prevent this nuisance species from affecting the

planted stems, a thinning and removal effort will take place in Year 3/2016 and will target the loblolly
pine. The methods used will be either hand/power tools and/or chemical applications.
