1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY / PROJECT ABSTRACT
1.1 Project Goals and Objectives
The Green Valley Buffer Mitigation Project is located in the 03030003 Catalog Unit (CU), in the Cape
Fear River Basin. Assets of this CU include the Deep River, the Randleman Reservoir, and major
communities including High Point, Asheboro, Siler City, and Sanford. Restoration goals for CU
03030003 as identified in the 2009 Cape Fear River Basin RBRP include protection of several species of
mussel and the Cape Fear Shiner. Additional goals include the improvement in water quality to waters
draining to Randleman Reservoir.
The Green Valley Buffer Mitigation Project was identified as an opportunity to improve water quality and
habitat within the CU. The project goals address stressors identified in the CU. The following table lists
the project goals and the project objectives through which the goals will be addressed:
Goals Objectives
1. Nutrient removal • Restore minimum 50 -foot riparian buffer by planting
2. Sediment removal appropriate bottomland hardwood species to filter runoff.
3. Runoff filtration 0 Convert active farm fields to forested buffers.
4. Increase dissolved oxygen 0 Plant buffer vegetation to shade channel.
concentration • Restore riparian buffer habitat to appropriate bottomland
5. Restore riparian habitats hardwood ecosystem.
6. Reduce water temperature . Restore canopy tree species in the stream buffer areas to
shade channel.
• Eliminate and control exotic invasive species.
• Replace three (two culverts and one ford) undersized
and/or failing channel crossings with appropriately sized
structures.
1.2 Project Background
The Green Valley Farms Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site is located on Hockett Dairy Road (SR 1938) in
Randolph County approximately 12 miles north of Asheboro, NC (Figure 1). The site is located in the
Cape Fear River Basin within Cataloging Unit 03030003010070 (NCDWQ sub -basin 03-06-08). The site
has four unnamed tributaries (UT) that drain into Randleman Lake (Figure 2). The proposed project will
result in 8.74 to 9.6 acres of buffer restoration. The upper 400 linear feet of UT 4, which account for the
0.86 -acre difference in the buffer restoration acreage range, are not subject to the Randleman Buffer
Rules. It is anticipated that performing buffer restoration along the entire length of UT 4 (590 linear feet)
will result in a defined channel within the five-year monitoring period, and that the Site will ultimately
yield the full 9.6 acres of buffer restoration.
The project site is located in the Piedmont Physiographic Province and in the Carolina Slate Belt. The
region is underlain by felsic metavolcanic rocks, which can be seen in the streambed of UT 1 and UT 3.
The topography of the project area is generally rolling with elevations ranging from 670 to 760 feet. The
four unnamed tributaries to Randleman Lake comprise the principle drainage features. The project's
watershed is primarily used for agricultural production. Much of the site is currently used for row crop
production for dairy silage. These tributaries have limited hardwood trees present within the buffer and
lack significant ground cover. The mature trees have a density of less than 100 stems per acre. The project
area has been in agricultural use for several decades.

The Green Valley Farms mitigation project offers an opportunity for high quality riparian buffer
restoration. Stream buffer mitigation for the Green Valley Farms Site involves buffering four streams that
flow directly and indirectly into Randleman Lake. The mitigation design divides the site into four distinct
reaches (Figure 2). Buffer restoration is proposed along all four channels. Three existing farm access
crossings have been upgraded and stabilized to prevent erosion.
1.3 Vegetation Condition
The measure of vegetative success for the site is the survival of at least 320 five-year old planted trees per
acre at the end of year five of the monitoring period. CVS Level 2 was performed in monitoring Year 4
during early December 2016 to document planted vegetation conditions and any volunteer generation. A
total of 38 volunteers were observed across all 11 vegetation plots. Year 4 monitoring recorded an
average of 600 planted stems per acre and 739 total stems per acre (planted and volunteers) across all
vegetation plots. All plots achieved success criteria in Year 4 and are on track to meeting Year 5 success
criteria. Year 2 and 3 vegetation surveys confirmed that plots 8 and 10 needed to be re -planted. During
April 2016, a supplemental replant was performed in these low density areas as well as any sparsely
vegetated area across the site. Approximately 1,500 1 -gallon containerized trees were planted throughout
the site and low density areas. Tree species planted during the supplemental replant included River Birch
(Betula nigra), Northern Red Oak (Quercus rubra), Swamp Chestnut Oak (Quercus michauxii), and
Green Ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica). The invasive Johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense) was common
across the site during Year 3; however, it is becoming less problematic. The Johnsongrass does not appear
to be affecting the growth rate and survival of planted stems as the trees are mostly above the herbaceous
layer. Field crews will continue to monitor the prevalence of the Johnsongrass, but as the planted riparian
stems trend towards canopy closure it is anticipated that the Johnsongrass will be less of a problem. On
June 10' 2016, DMS and North Carolina Division of Water Resources conducted a site inspection to
evaluate the supplemental replanting and site conditions. Also during this visit, the upper 400 linear feet
of UT4 was assessed for buffer mitigation potential. NCDWR at the time recommended a review be
scheduled during the winter 2017 MY5 for a final determination of potential credit. MY4 conditions are
shown on the Current Condition Plan View which is provided in Appendix B, Figure 2.
1.4 Summary Information / Data
Summary information/data related to the occurrence of items such as beaver or encroachment 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 (formerly Mitigation Plan) and in the
Mitigation Plan (formerly the Restoration Plan) documents available on the DMS website. All raw data
supporting the tables and figures in the appendices is available from DMS upon request.
2.0 METHODOLOGY
In order to determine if the success criteria are achieved and the planted areas are developing toward the
target community, NCEEP-CVS Protocol for Recording Vegetation Version 4.2 will be utilized. The
vegetation monitoring will include Level I and Level II plots distributed across the planted area. An
interim vegetation monitoring will occur in spring after leaf -out has occurred. The CVS monitoring will
be conducted toward the end of the growing season. Individual plot data will be provided to DMS and
CVS following NCEEP-CVS guidance. The annual monitoring requirements are summarized in the
following table:

Photographs will be used to visually document restoration success. Reference photos will be taken once a
year and will be used to visually document restoration success. Reference photo stations are marked with
wooden stakes. Reference stations will be photographed immediately following planting and continued
annually for at least five years following construction. Photographers will make every effort to maintain
the same area in each photo over time. Photographs will be used to subjectively evaluate vegetation
establishment. A series of photos over time should indicate successional maturation of riparian
vegetation.

The subject project site is an environmental restoration site
of the NCDMS Division of Mitigation Services (DMS)
and is encompassed by a recorded conservation easement,
but is bordered by land under private ownership. Therefore
access by the general public is not permitted. Access by
authorized personnel of state and federal agencies or their
designees/contractors involved in the development, monitoring,
and stewardship of the restoration site is permitted within the
terms and timeframes of their defined, pre -approved roles. Any
intended site visitation or activity by any person outside of
these previously sanctioned activities/roles requires prior
coordination with DMS.

*Currently, the upper 400 LF of UT4 is not subject to the Randleman Buffer Rules; however, the lower 190 LF is subject to the
buffer rules and consists of 0.28 acres of proposed buffer restoration. It is anticipated that performing buffer restoration along the
entire reach (590 LF) will result in a defined channel within the 5 -year monitoring period and ultimately yield 1.14 acres of
buffer restoration.
