EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Restoration Systems, LLC, a private environmental restoration company, has completed construction and
four years of monitoring of streams and wetlands at the Causey Farm Stream and Wetland Mitigation Site
(hereafter referred to as the "Site") to offset impacts associated with expansion of the Piedmont Triad
International Airport in association with establishment of a facility for the FedEx Corporation. The Site is
located in United States Geological Survey (USGS) Cataloging Unit 03030002 of the Cape Fear River
Basin in southeastern Guilford County approximately 5 miles north of the Town of Liberty and
approximately 11 miles southeast of the City of Greensboro. An approximately 42-acre conservation
easement encompasses 7670 linear feet of restored stream channel, an 830-linear foot onsite reference
reach, and 4.0 acres of wetland restoration. This report describes results of monitoring restoration areas at
the Site.
A Detailed Stream and Wetland Mitigation Plan (dated March 2004) outlines methods designed to restore
historic stream and wetland functions that existed onsite prior to channel dredging/straightening, livestock
impacts, and vegetation removal. The plan outlined restoration procedures including 1) construction of a
stable, riffle-pool stream channel; 2) enhancement of water quality functions in the onsite, upstream, and
downstream segments of the channel; 3) creation of a natural vegetation buffer along restored stream
channels; 4) maximization of the area returned to historic wetland function; and 5) restoration of wildlife
functions associated with a riparian corridor/stable stream.
Site objectives include restoring characteristic wetland soil features, groundwater wetland hydrology, and
hydrophytic vegetation communities adjacent to the constructed channel and reestablishing streamside
and bottomland hardwood forest communities to further protect water quality and enhance opportunities
for wildlife.
In summary, all areas of wetland restoration achieved both hydrological and vegetative success criteria
during Year 4 (2008) of annual monitoring. All groundwater gauges exhibited saturation within one foot
of the soil surface (wetland hydroperiods) for greater than 12.5 percent of the growing season or 28
consecutive days and therefore satisfied hydrology criteria. In addition, all vegetation plots exceeded
success criteria for Year 4 (290 tree stems per acre), with an average of 763 tree stems per acre counting
towards success criteria across the Site; each individual vegetation plot met success criteria as well.
Planted seedlings exhibited approximately 87 percent survival after the fourth growing season. Mast
producing elements such as oak and hickory are expected to become established in sufficient quantity to
develop into a characteristic floodplain bottomland hardwood assemblage.
The as-built channel geometry and substrate compare favorably with the emulated, stable E/C stream type
based on reference (relatively undisturbed) stream reaches and as set forth in the detailed mitigation plan
and construction plans. The current monitoring has demonstrated that pattern, dimension, and profile of
the constructed E/C stream were stable over the course of the fourth year. In addition, a sand to gravel
bed has been reestablished in the stream.
In summary, all restored stream reaches and wetland areas at the Site achieved the targeted success
criteria during the Year 4 (2008) monitoring period.

GUILFORD COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Restoration Systems, LLC has completed construction and four years of monitoring of streams and
wetlands at the Causey Farm Stream and Wetland Mitigation Site (hereafter referred to as the "Site") to
offset impacts associated with expansion of the Piedmont Triad International Airport for establishment of a
facility for the FedEx Corporation. The Site is located in United States Geological Survey (USGS)
Cataloging Unit 03030002 of the Cape Fear River Basin in southeastern Guilford County approximately 5
miles north of the Town of Liberty and approximately 11 miles southeast of the City of Greensboro (Figure
1). An approximately 42-acre conservation easement area encompasses 7670 linear feet of restored stream
channel, an 830-linear foot onsite reference reach, and 4.0 acres of wetland restoration. This report
describes the results of monitoring these restoration areas at the Site. The restored Site provides benefits to
water quality and wildlife in a rapidly developing watershed.
Table 1. Site as Constructed

A Detailed Stream and Wetland Mitigation Plan (dated March 2004) outlines methods designed to restore
historic stream and wetland functions that existed onsite prior to channel dredging/straightening, livestock
impacts, and vegetation removal. The plan outlined restoration procedures including 1) construction of a
stable, riffle-pool stream channel; 2) enhancement of water quality functions in the onsite, upstream, and
downstream segments of the channel; 3) creation of a natural vegetation buffer along restored stream
channels; 4) maximization of the area returned to historic wetland function; and 5) restoration of wildlife

Site objectives include restoring characteristic wetland soil features, groundwater wetland hydrology, and
hydrophytic vegetation communities adjacent to the constructed channel, and reestablishing streamside and
bottomland hardwood forest communities to further protect water quality and enhance opportunities for
wildlife.
Construction of the Site was authorized under the United States Army Corps of Engineers Permit Number
200021655 (issued in December 2003 and modified by Action ID SAW 2006 41354 241) and the North
Carolina Division of Water Quality Certification Number 3428, conditioned upon final agency approval of
the Detailed Stream and Wetland Mitigation Plan. The plan was approved in June 2004 and Backwater
Environmental, a subsidiary of the Osborne Company, Inc, initiated construction in July 2004. Earthwork
was completed in November 2004 and tree planting in December. As-built construction plans, dated April
2005, were completed after all Site work was finished and monitoring gauges and plots were installed.

As outlined in the Detailed Stream and Wetland Mitigation Plan, this project was designed and constructed
based upon reference streams and wetlands in the vicinity of the Site. As-built construction drawings
depict Site activities designed to restore streams, groundwater, surface flow dynamics, and wetland
hydrology as follows 1) establishment of a conservation easement encompassing the floodplain, 2) erection
of cattle exclusion fence, 3) restoration of streams and wetlands onto the historic (abandoned) floodplain
surface, 4) backfill of the old entrenched ditch and canal system, and 5) reforestation of the 42-acre
floodplain area by planting 31,100 seedlings.
This report represents the Year 4 (2008) Annual Monitoring Report. Monitoring activities have been
performed throughout Year 2008, including evaluations of wetland hydrology, soils, and vegetation and
stream characteristics.
2.0 MONITORING PROGRAM
The Site monitoring program consists of a comparison between reference and restoration areas along with
evaluation of jurisdictional wetland criteria (Environmental Laboratory 1987). Monitoring entailed
analysis of three primary parameters: hydrology, vegetation, and stream characteristics. Monitoring of
restoration efforts will be performed for a minimum of 5 years or until success criteria are fulfilled. The
monitoring program is depicted in Figures 2A and 2B and is described below. During 2008, stream and
vegetation monitoring were conducted between July and November; groundwater monitoring was
conducted throughout the growing season.

2.1 Wetland Hydrology
2.1.1 Hydrology Monitoring Procedure
After hydrological modifications were completed at the Site, continuously recording, groundwater
monitoring gauges were installed in accordance with specifications in Installing Monitoring
Wells/Piezometers in Wetlands (NCWRP 1993). Monitoring gauges were set to a depth of approximately
24 inches below the soil surface. Screened portions of each gauge were surrounded by filter fabric, buried
in a sand screen, and sealed with a bentonite cap to prevent siltation and surface flow infiltration during
floods.
Five monitoring gauges were installed in wetland restoration areas to provide representative coverage
within the Site (Figures 2A and 213). Hydrological sampling was performed in restoration areas during the
growing season (March 26 to November 6) at daily intervals necessary to satisfy the hydrology success
criteria (USDA 1977).
2.1.2 Hydrologic Success Criteria
Target hydrological goals have been developed using regulatory wetland hydrology criteria and reference
wetland sites.
Regulatorv Wetland Hydrologv Criteria
' Regulatory wetland hydrology criteria require saturation (free water) within 1 foot of the soil
surface for 5 percent of the growing season under normal climatic conditions. In some instances,
the regulatory wetland hydroperiod may extend for between 5 and 12.5 percent of the growing
season.
Target hydrological characteristics include saturation or inundation for at least 12.5 percent of the growing
' season at lower landscape positions, during average climatic conditions. Upper landscape reaches may
exhibit surface saturation/inundation between 5 and 12.5 percent of the growing season based on
groundwater gauge data. These 5 to 12.5 percent areas are expected to support hydrophytic vegetation. If
wetland parameters are marginal as indicated by vegetation and hydrology monitoring, a jurisdictional
' determination will be performed in these areas. This hydroperiod translates to saturation for a minimum,
11-day (5 percent) to 28-day (12.5 percent) consecutive period during the growing season, which extends
from March 26 to November 6 (USDA 1977).
2_.1.3__ _ _Hydrological Monitoring Results and Comparison with Success Criteria
All wetland areas achieved hydrology success criteria for Year 4 (2008) of annual monitoring (Table 2).
Hydrographs for each monitoring location are provided in Appendix A along with daily rainfall totals for
2008 collected at an onsite rain gauge.
All gauges exhibited groundwater within one foot of the soil surface (wetland hydroperiods) for greater
than 12.5 percent of the growing season or 28 consecutive days and therefore satisfied hydrology criteria.
In addition, there was a presence of hydrophytic vegetation and hydric soils in the vicinity of all gauges.
Vegetation lists for each gauge can be found in Appendix B.

• Based on criteria set for in the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (Enviromnental Laboratory (1987). See vegetation lists (Appendix B).
2.2 Vegetation
2.2.1 Veeetation Monitoring Procedure
Restoration monitoring procedures for vegetation are designed in accordance with guidelines presented in
Mitigation Site Classification (MiST) documentation (USEPA 1990) and Compensatory Hardwood
Mitigation Guidelines (USDOA 1993).
Five sample transects were installed within planted areas of the Site to equally represent the various
hydrologic regimes and plant communities (Figures 2A and 213). Each transect is 600 feet in length and
7.25 feet in width (0.1 acre). Transects were centered on the five groundwater monitoring gauges and were
designated by the corresponding gauge number. In each sample plot, vegetation parameters monitored
included species composition and species density. Visual observations of the percent cover of shrub and
herbaceous species were also noted but not used for vegetative success criteria.
Plot vegetation received visual evaluation during periodic reading of monitoring gauges to ascertain the
general conditions and degree of overtopping of planted species by weeds.
2.2.2 Veeetation Success Criteria
Success criteria have been established to verify that the vegetation component supports community
elements necessary for floodplain forest development. Success criteria are dependent upon the density and
growth of characteristic forest species. Additional success criteria are dependent upon density and growth
of "Character Tree Species," which include planted species, those listed by Schafale and Weakley (1990),
and species identified in the reference forest ecosystem (RFE). All tree species identified in the RFE
(Table 3) and planted at the Site (Table 4) were utilized to define "Character Tree Species". A total of
31,100 bare root seedlings of 17 species were planted on the Site at a density of 873 trees per acre (Table
4).
An average density of 320 stems per acre over all sampling transects of Character Tree Species must be
surviving at the end of the third year of monitoring. Subsequently, 290 Character Tree Species per acre
must be surviving at the end of Year 4, and 260 Character Tree Species per acre must be surviving at the
end of Year 5. Planted species must represent a minimum of 30 percent of the required stem per acre total
(96 stems/acre). Each naturally recruited character species may represent up to 10 percent of the required
stem per acre total. In essence, seven naturally recruited character species may represent a maximum of 70
percent of the required stem/acre total.

2.2.3 Vegetation Sampling Results and Comparison to Success Criteria
Quantitative sampling of vegetation occurred in July 2008. Results are provided in Table 5 and
photographs of each plot are provided in Appendix C. Vegetation success criteria for year 4 (290 tree
stems per acre) were exceeded for the 2008 annual monitoring year with 763 tree stems per acre counting
towards success criteria across the Site. In addition, each individual vegetation plot met success criteria
(Table 5).
2.3 Stream
2.3.1 Stream Monitoring Procedure
Six stream reaches were monitored for geometric activity as depicted in Figures 2A and 2B. Each stream
reach extends for approximately 600 linear feet for a total monitoring length of 3,000 linear feet along the
restored channel. Annual monitoring within each reach included measurements of four permanently
monumented channel cross-sections (two riffles and two pools), substrate pebble counts, and channel
bed/water surface profile. Data collected for each reach included the following:
Dimension
Bankfull cross-sectional area, bankfull width, average depth, maximum depth, pool width, pool
maximum depth, entrenchment ratio, width-depth ratio, riffle maximum depth/average depth, bank
height ratio, pool depth/average depth, pool width/bankfull width, pool area/bankfull cross-
sectional area.
Profile
Average water surface slope, valley slope, riffle slope, pool slope, run slope, glide slope, riffle
slope/average water surface slope, pool slope/average water surface slope.
Substrate
D16, D35, D50, D84, D95
The stream was subsequently classified according to stream geometry and substrate (Rosgen 1996).
Significant changes in channel morphology were tracked and reported for comparison to data in successive
monitoring years.
2.3.2 Stream Success Criteria
Success criteria for stream restoration includes 1) successful classification of the reach as a functioning
stream system (Rosgen 1996), 2) channel stability indicative of a stable stream system, and 3) development
of diagnostic biological communities over time.
The channel configuration will be measured on an annual basis in order to track changes in channel
geometry, profile, and/or substrate. These data will be utilized to determine the success in restoring stream
channel stability. Specifically, the width-depth ratio should characterize a borderline E-type/C-type
channel, bank height ratios indicative of a stable or moderately unstable channel (< 1.3), and changes in
cross-sectional area and channel width of less than 1.0 foot of bed and/or bank erosion per year along the
monitoring reach. In addition, abandoned channel reaches or shoot cutoffs must not occur and sinuosity
values must remain at approximately 1.3 (thalweg distance/straight-line distance). The field indicator of
bankfull will be described in each monitoring year and indicated on a representative channel cross-section
figure. If the stream channel is down-cutting or the channel width is enlarging due to bank erosion,
additional bank or slope stabilization methods may be employed.

The stream shall maintain shear stress values to adequately transport sediment through the Site. Pebble
counts will be conducted annually to determine D50 and D84 values within the restored stream. Pebble
counts would be expected to indicate a general coarsening of materials on the riffles throughout the
monitoring period. Substrate will be considered successful if the channel is characterized by a substrate
consisting of sand/fine gravel (1350 greater than 0.2-2 millimeters).
Visual assessment of in-stream structures will be conducted to determine if failure has occurred. Failure of
a structure may be indicated by collapse of the structure, undermining of the structure, abandonment of the
channel around the structure, and/or stream flow beneath the structure.
2.3.3 Stream Sampling Results and Comparison to Success Criteria
Based on regulatory guidance for narrow stream restoration projects in North Carolina (USACE et al.
2003), stream monitoring efforts evaluated approximately 3000 linear feet of constructed stream channel,
including five-600 linear foot reaches. Monitoring reaches are depicted in Figures 2A and 2B. Permanent
cross-section and profile data were collected and compared to proposed channel construction values of
slope, area, depth, and width. Data collected during in-stream surveys including regulatory forms are
attached in Appendix D.
Tables 6A-6E summarize stream dimension, profile, and substrate attributes for the proposed conditions as
well as previous monitoring year's data. The individual reaches of the constructed stream channel have
been evaluated separately for bankfull discharge and channel dimension measurements. The drainage area
increases along the stream reaches in a down-valley direction, as depicted in Tables 6A-6E. Therefore, the
bankfull discharge and dimension were modeled as increasing as the stream flows downstream through the
Site.
Channel Dimension Attributes
Channel dimension attributes were obtained from the surveyed cross-sections depicted in Figure 2A and
2B. Permanent cross-section values, along with proposed cross-section values are presented in Tables 6A-
6E and are graphically depicted in Figures 3A through 3E. Photographs of each cross-section are included
in Appendix E. Some significant dimension values follow.
Upstream and Middle Reaches
Upstream Upstream Middle
Variable Proposed Reach I Reach 2 Reach
Bankfull Cross-Sectional Area (ft) 12.7 8.8 8.7 7.9
Bankfull Width (ft) 12.3 11.1 10.3 10.8
Bankfull Average Depth (ft) 1.0 0.8 0.9 0.8
Entrenchment Ratio 14.3 19.2 20.7 20.5
Width/Depth Ratio 12.0 13.8 13.1 13.1
Bank Height Ratio 1.1 1.0 1.0 1.0
Channel dimension attributes in the upstream and middle reaches of the Site remained consistent with
parameters established upon completion of the construction effort. No appreciable erosion or
sedimentation has occurred in the monitoring reaches, or throughout the Site. These reaches appeared to be
constructed slightly smaller than proposed in the Detailed Stream and Wetland Mitigation Plan; however,
Construction Plans utilized by contractors to build the Site depicted a slightly smaller channel than the
Detailed Mitigation Plan. Based on in-field evaluations of the channel and specifically the monitoring
reaches, the reduced channel cross-sectional area has not resulted in destabilization, degradation, or
aggradation of the channel. Measurements throughout subsequent monitoring years are expected to
determine if the reduced channel cross-sectional area will destabilize the channel.

Bank Height Ratio 1.1 1.0 1.1 1.0
Channel dimension attributes in the downstream reach and in North Prong Stinking Quarter Creek
remained consistent with parameters established during preconstruction planning. The downstream reach
had a slightly elevated width-depth ratio; however, this value would be expected to lower throughout the
monitoring period as the banks colonize with vegetation and begin to capture sediment. Pools and
associated point bars have remained relatively stable.
Channel Slope and Substrate
Channel slope and substrate attributes obtained along survey reaches are depicted in Figures 2A-213 and are
summarized in Tables 6A-6E. All five monitoring reaches supported a stable profile and substrate
composition during the fourth year of development. Ratios of riffle and pool slopes couldn't be calculated
in Year 4 (2008) within four of the five reaches due to a lack of water in the channel; however, in previous
years these ratios were within ranges outlined in the Detailed Stream and Wetland Mitigation Plan. In
previous years, the upper range of run slopes were slightly elevated; however, this was attributed to drought
conditions during survey periods and small (less than 5 inch) drops associated with cross-vanes or j-hook
vanes during low flow conditions. In addition, during drought conditions, vegetation temporarily colonized
some stream reaches and trapped sediment, thereby elevating the riffles and steepening the facet slope.
This is expected to be a temporary elevation gain/steepening of facet slopes and is not expected to
destabilize Site stream reaches.

' Year 4 (2008)
Substrate pebble counts conducted in each reach indicated a D50 of 1.0 to 2.8 millimeters characteristic of
a sand to gravel stream substrate (Appendix D). Substrate size distribution has gone down slightly from the
previous year, primarily due to imbrication if imported bed material, colonization of the stream by
vegetation during early season drought, and increased sediment transport through the Site.

During construction of the Site, 121 permanent structures were installed for bank stabilization/aquatic
habitat including 82 cross-vanes, 30 j-hook vanes, four permanent fords, one piped crossing, and four rock
sills. No structure failure or erosion was noted during field measurements or through visual observation of
the Site. Structures appear stable due to dense vegetation colonizing stream banks, providing bank
stabilization and reduction in flow velocities across the upper banks. Structure photographs are provided in
Appendix F; however, dense vegetation resulted in difficulties with adequate photo-documentation of
onsite structures.
Hydrology
Based on regulatory guidance for stream restoration projects in North Carolina (USACE et. al. 2003), two
bankfull events must occur at the Site during the 5-year monitoring period. Bankfull stream flow
conditions were witnessed at the Site immediately upon completion of Site implementation and Site
planting. The bankfull event occurred on March 28, 2005 after an approximately 1.5 inch rainfall event. In
addition to visual observation of surface water flows across Site floodplains, wrack was evident on the
upstream side of freshly planted seedlings. Bankfull flooding occurred prior to the installation of
monitoring equipment at the Site and no gauge data is available for the event.
During November 30, 2006 field evaluations evidence of bankfull flooding was documented. Evidence
included wrack lines and flow patterns across the floodplain as depicted in the following photographs.
Bankfull flooding likely occurred during an approximately 1.6-inch rain event on November 15, 2006.

Wrack lines and flow patterns were also witnessed during field investigations on January 8, 2008, as shown
in the pictures below. Bankfull flooding likely occurred during an approximately 1.2-inch rain event on
December 30, 2007.

2.4 Nuisance Species Management
Beavers had previously built a dam approximately 100 feet downstream of the confluence of North Prong
Stinking Quarter Creek and its main tributary on site (near station 09+00 North Prong Stinking Quarter
Creek). The dam had resulted in significant backwater effects throughout the Downstream Reach and
along North Prong Stinking Quarter Creek. Therefore, proactive beaver management including trapping
and subsequent dam removal was initiated in early 2008 and is continuing.
2.5 Benthic Macroinvertebrates
Benthic macroinvertebrate surveys were conducted at two stations on the UT to North Prong Stinking
Quarter Creek in June 2008. Samples were taken in the reference reach and within the upper restoration
reach. The restoration site samples were compared to the reference sample to estimate water quality
benefits from proposed mitigation. A list of collected benthic macroinvertebrates and Habitat Assessment
Field Data Sheets used in benthic macroinvertebrate monitoring are enclosed in Appendix G.
Benthic macroinvertebrates were collected using the Qual-4 protocol for streams with a drainage area less
' than or equal to 3 square miles. This method consists of four samples including 1) one kick sample, 2) one
sweep sample, 3) one leaf pack sample, and 4) visuals where all organisms are picked. Samples were then
sent to a qualified lab (Pennington and Associates Inc.) for processing.
' The reference reach (Benthic Station 1) samples contained a total of 37 organisms within 17 taxa. This
reach received a Biotic Index of 8.85, which is considered severe stress and a Habitat Score of 75, which is
on the upper end of a moderate habitat rating closer to a natural habitat rating. The restoration reach
(Benthic Station 2) samples contained a total of 37 organisms within 12 taxa. This reach received a Biotic
Index of 8.67, which is considered severe stress and a Habitat Score of 70, which is a moderate habitat
rating (NCDWQ 2006). Characteristic benthic macroinvertebrate habitat is developing well; however,
' several periods of severe drought have affected characteristic benthic macroinvertebrate communities,
increased tolerance values of represented taxa, and degraded the overall biotic index of the community as
evidenced by changes in the reference reach. Drought has been shown to have long-term impacts on
benthic community health with the less tolerant species effected more easily and to a greater extent than the
more tolerant species that can withstand the drought conditions (NCDWQ 2006).
Visual samples included numerous tadpoles and snails, and one salamander larva (Desmognanthus sp.)
within the restoration reach. In addition, only one aquatic insect within the Ephemeroptera (mayflies),
Plecoptera (stoneflies), and Trichoptera (caddisflies) (collectively, EPT taxa) was collected within the
restoration reach. The presence of EPT species is an indicator of perennial streams as well as of good

water quality; EPT taxa are considered to be sensitive to environmental stress. The tolerance values of
species collected in both reaches are generally high (mostly greater than 5) indicating the probable presence
of environmental stressors such as several extended periods of severe drought that may affect EPT species
survivability.
3.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Year 4 (2008) Annual Stream and Wetland Monitoring Report data indicate that the Causey Farm
Restoration Site achieved regulatory success criteria for stream geometry, wetland hydrology, and
vegetation after 4 years of development. Functional attributes exhibited include long term surface water
storage, energy dissipation, retention of nutrients and particulates, and establishment of characteristic
stream and wetland plant and wildlife populations. A majority of the Site appears to support hydroperiods
and successional patterns conducive to establishment of wetland forest habitat.
The results also indicated that current Site conditions met or exceeded mitigation requirements for both
stream length and wetland acreage, as projected by the Piedmont Triad International Airport Authority
permit (DWQ #3428, USACE Action ID. No. 200021655). The Causey Farm project required mitigation
for impacts to 6539 linear feet of stream channel and 4.0 acres of wetland. The Detailed Stream and
Wetland Mitigation Plan outlined strategies designed to compensate for these stream and wetland impacts.
This monitoring report has been prepared for reconstruction/restoration of approximately 7670 linear feet
of stream and 4.0 acres of wetland within the Site.
The as-built channel geometry and substrate compared favorably with the emulated, stable E/C stream type
established on reference (relatively undisturbed) stream reaches and as set forth in the detailed mitigation
plan and construction plans. The current monitoring has demonstrated that pattern, dimension, and profile
of the new E/C stream were stable over the course of the first two years. In addition, a sand to gravel bed
stream has been reestablished in the region. Approximately 7670 linear feet of total stream length has been
restored including approximately 6547 linear feet of stream channel construction on new location and
approximately 1123 linear feet of stream restoration in-place.
During construction of the Site, 121 permanent structures were installed for bank stabilization/aquatic
habitat. Structures appear stable due to dense vegetation colonizing stream banks, providing bank
stabilization and reduction in flow velocities across the upper banks.
Groundwater data indicated that wetland hydrology success criteria have been met for Year 4 (2008). All
groundwater gauges exhibited saturation within one foot of the soil surface (wetland hydroperiods) for
greater than 12.5 percent of the growing season or 28 consecutive days and therefore satisfied hydrology
criteria. In addition, all groundwater gauges are underlain by hydric soils and exhibit development of
vegetative communities indicative of a jurisdictional wetland. This would indicate that 4.0 acres of
jurisdictional wetland restoration targeted for the Piedmont Triad International Airport have successfully
met hydrologic monitoring success criteria.
Vegetation surveys reflected conditions typical of early successional forest development on disturbed
floodplains in the Piedmont. Based on survey data, planted seedlings exhibited approximately 87 percent
survival after the fourth growing season with an average of 763 stems per acre. Mast producing elements
such as oak and hickory are expected to become established in sufficient quantity to develop into a
characteristic floodplain bottomland hardwood assemblage. The variable hydrologic regimes found across
the Site will promote diverse wetland community patterns and will consequently enhance opportunities for
wetland dependent wildlife.

Directions for use: The observer is to survey a minimam of 100 melon with M meters preferred of stream, preferably in an
' updream direction starting above the bridge pool and the road right-of-way. The segment which is assessed should represent average
stream conditions. To perform a proper habitat evaluation the observer needs to get into the stream. To complete the form, select the
description which best fits the observed habitats and then circle the score. If the observed habitat falls in between two descriptions,
select an intermediate score. A final habitat score is determined by adding the results fpm the different metrics.
