1.0 PROJECT SUMMARY
The Black Gum Creek Project (the site) is a wetland rehabilitation and preservation project constructed for the NC
Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) to fulfill non -riparian wetland needs in the Lumber River Basin 03040203
Catalog Unit. The project is located in northwest Robeson County, approximately 6 miles north of Maxton, off Modest
Rd (Figure 1). This project includes rehabilitation of non -riparian wetlands and preservation of existing forested and
ponded wetlands (Table 1).
The Project site is a former agricultural field, located on an inter -stream divide between the Lumber River and Black
Gum Swamp, surrounded by forested areas and agricultural parcels. The site was altered since the mid -80s, which
included ditching and clearing.
The site contains approximately 9.940 acres exhibiting wetland hydrology and soils (Wetland 1), but initially was
lacking in hydrophytic vegetation, lending itself to a rehabilitation restoration approach using the definitions provided
in 40 CFR Part 230 (Final Rule). Additionally, there are two jurisdictional wetland communities on the site, as
confirmed by an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) by the US Army Corps of Engineers on January 6, 2016,
leading to a preservation approach to provide wetland restoration equivalents (RE). These preservation areas
include 23.042 acres of a successional wetland and forested hardwood flat in the Southern section of the project
(Wetland 2) and 51.382 acres of forested hardwood flatlpocosin and open water/wetland habitat in the northern
section of the project, for a total of 74.424 acres of preservation (Figure 2). These acreages have been updated from
the Mitigation Plan to As -Built stage due to GIS geometry calculation.
Wetland restoration activities included planting the rehabilitation areas in March 2016 with 5,010 bare root species
from the Hardwood Flat Forest Community (NCWAM, v. 4.12010) as well as other similar species found in the
adjacent forested wetland community. There were six (6) different species selected to reflect the target vegetative
community.
1.1 Goals and Objectives
The Lumber River Basin Restoration Priorities state that the goals for the Black Gum Creek 14 -digit HUC are:
• Replacing buffer
• Repairing channelized streams
• Preservation of existing resources.
The following specific project goals, as stated in the Mitigation Plan, include:
• Restoring a hardwood flat vegetation community
• Expanding forested wetland complex
The success of these project goals will be addressed through the following objectives:
• Plant native tree/shrub species
• Preserve existing hardwood flat/pocosin wetlands
2.0 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
2.1 Vegetation
An average density of 260 stems/acre must be surviving after five years of monitoring. Upon completion of planting in
March 2016, eight (8) permanent vegetation plots were installed and initial plant stocking was performed to determine
species composition and density (Appendix C, Table 6). Vegetation was monitored using the Carolina Vegetation
Survey (CVS) protocols level 2 monitoring.

2.2 Hydrology
The site will present continuous saturated or inundated hydrologic conditions for at least 8% of the growing season
during normal weather conditions. A "normal" year is based on NRCS climatological data for Robeson County, using
the 30th to 70th percentile thresholds as the range of normal. The growing season for Robeson County, using the
50% chance of higher than 28 F method, is from March 22th through November 5th, 228 days (WETS Table,
Robeson County). Hydrologic performance will be determined through evaluation of automatic recording gauge data
supplemented by documentation of wetland hydrology indicators as defined in the 1987 USACE Delineation Manual,
daily data will be collected from automatic wells over the 5 -year monitoring period.
Five (5) continuous monitoring groundwater gauges were installed to provide pre -restoration conditions, and data
was downloaded to provide one more year of pre -restoration data for this as -built report. Data from the 2016 growing
season is provided in Appendix D.
3.0 MONITORING PLAN
Annual monitoring data will be reported using the DMS monitoring template. The monitoring report shall provide a
project data chronology that will facilitate an understanding of project status and trends, population of DMS
databases for analysis, research purposes, and assist in decision making regarding project close-out.

The first scheduled vegetation monitoring will be conducted during the first full growing season following project
completion (2016). Monitoring will occur in years 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The survivability of the vegetation plantings will be
evaluated using a 100m2vegetative sampling plots randomly placed in the planted areas.
Groundwater elevations will be monitored to evaluate jurisdictional wetland hydrology. Verification of wetland
hydrology will be determined by automatic recording of well data collected within the project area.
Annual monitoring reports will be prepared and submitted after all monitoring tasks for each year are completed. The
report will document the monitored components and include all collected data and photographs. Each report will
provide the new monitoring data and compare the most recent results against previous findings. The monitoring
report format will be similar to that set out in the most recent DMS monitoring protocol.

4.0 MAINTENANCE AND CONTINGENCY PLAN
DMS shall monitor the site and conduct a physical inspection of the site a minimum of once per year throughout the
post -construction monitoring period until performance standards are met. These site inspections may identify site
components and features that require routine maintenance. Routine maintenance should be expected most often in
the first two years following site construction and may include the following:
Component/Feature
Maintenance through project close-out
Remedial Measures
Vegetation shall be maintained to ensure survival. Routine vegetation

documented in the annual monitoring reports.
The site will also be evaluated to ensure diffuse flow is still occurring.
Site boundaries shall be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction
between the mitigation site and adjacent properties. Boundaries may

documented in the annual monitoring reports.
Boundary markers disturbed, damaged, or destroyed will be repaired
and/or replaced on an as needed basis.
5.0 YEAR 1 MONITORING
Year 1 annual monitoring (MY1) was conducted in November 2016. As stated in Section 3.0, year 1 monitoring
activities included visual monitoring and stem counts of the project vegetation; downloading monitoring gauge data;
verifying the presence, or lack of, invasive species; checking the integrity of the easement; and taking photographs at
the established photo points. All eight (8) vegetation plots are in good condition are meeting the vegetation success
criteria with a project -wide average of 632 stems per acre. See Figure 3 in Appendix B for vegetation plot locations
and Table 7 in Appendix C for information on plot density. Hydrology data indicates that 3 of 5 gauges are meeting
the hydrologic success target described above in Section 2.2. Gauges 2 and 3 fell short of the 8% target. However, it
should be that gauge locations were chosen well in advance of the project implementation and were kept in the same
locations for consistency. Gauge #2 is located just outside of the wetland rehabilitation asset area and Gauge #3 is
located within neither a wetland preservation nor wetland rehabilitation asset area. These gauges should not be
used to determine the hydrologic success of the project. Gauge data can be found in Appendix D.

Table 8. Wetland Hydrology Criteria Attainment
Black Gum Creek, DMS Project ID# 97063
* Growing Season is 228 days. Eight (8) percent of the growing season is equal to 18 days or more of consecutive readings above 12 inches.
** Gauge 2 is located just outside of the wetland rehabilitation asset area. Gauge 3 is not located in a wetland preservation or enhancement
asset area.
*** Gauges 1 and 2 were destroyed during the pre -monitoring period and data was not able to be retrieved.
