Vegetation Raw Data APPENDIX B. Photo Logs Forrest Creek Mitigation Bank ii Monitoring Year I of 5 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY/PROJECT ABSTRACT ' The Forrest Creek Mitigation Bank (Bank) is located in Orange County North Carolina within land owned by Milton A. Latta and Sons Dairy Farms, Inc. A permanent ' conservation easement covers the restored stream and surrounding riparian buffer. This easement defines the Bank's boundaries. The Bank is located on an active dairy farm approximately seven miles northeast of Hillsborough and six miles northwest of Durham ' in northeastern Orange County, North Carolina. The stream(s) lie within USGS hydrologic unit 03020201020020 in the Neuse River Basin. The North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) classifies the main reach, Forrest Creek, as a WS-II (water supply II), HQW (high quality water), and NSW (nutrient sensitive water). Prior to restoration, pasture land surrounded most of the length of the project reaches and ' the stream banks lacked strong rooted vegetation (e.g. woody or deep rooted herbaceous vegetation). Due to the lack of bank protection and partially cleared watershed, the stream channels became entrenched within the floodplain and showed signs of high shear ' stress. In this condition and with regular impacts due to cattle traffic, bank erosion had accelerated and the variety of bed features diminished. ' Two types of vegetative communities surrounded the stream reaches prior to restoration. The first zone consisted of a mix of woody vegetation that included significant populations of invasive species including privet (Ligustrum sinense), multiflora rose ' (Rosa multiora), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), Japanese Stilt Grass (Mircostegium vimineum), Tree-of-Heaven (Ailanthus altissima), and Princess Tree (Paulownia tomentosa). This zone covered the lower section of the Ut Forrest Creek and ' the upper section of Forrest Creek. The second zone consisted primarily of herbaceous vegetation with scattered woody vegetation. The woody vegetation included a mix of ' natural, invasive, and succession species. This zone covered the remaining restoration areas. ' The altered conditions of the stream and the riparian buffer reduced water quality and impaired habitat. Pasture derived nutrients flowing untreated through the riparian zone and fine silts sloughing from the incised banks raised biochemical oxygen demand. This ' with the lack of sufficient reoxygenating riffle features reduced dissolved oxygen within the water column. Water quality had also diminished due to raised turbidity from bank erosion and elevated water temperatures caused by the lack of tree shading. Habitat potential had been reduced by the diminished water quality and loss of physical habitat such as bed features, undercut banks, and a well developed vegetative community. The Forrest Creek reach was restored within the existing floodplain using a Priority II ' approach and the Ut Forrest Creek reach bed was raised to the abandoned floodplain using a Priority I approach. A portion of Forrest Creek immediately above the Forrest Creek restoration reach was enhanced by modifying a downstream crossing that had ' caused ponding upstream of it. The crossing modification reestablished natural flow and will create a natural channel profile. Above the enhancement area, a section of Forrest Forrest Creek Mitigation Bank Monitoring Year I of 5 ' Creek has been placed under a conversation easement to preserve a functional stream channel and riparian buffer. The remaining impaired riparian buffer was replanted with ' native woody species to restore ecological function and forested habitat to the buffer. The stream restoration work is regulated under the The buffer restoration work is ' regulated under the Forrest Creek Riparian Buffer Mitigation Bank Agreement signed by the Sponsor and NCDWQ in accordance with 15A NCAC 213.0200 and the memorandum titled "NCDWQ Buffer Interpretation/Clarification #2008-17, January 25t", 2008". This ' Agreement is in addition to the Forrest Creek Mitigation Bank Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI) signed by the Sponsor and the US Army Corp of Engineers (USACE), the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), the NC Division of Water Quality ' (NCDWQ), and the NC Wildlife Resouces Commission (NCWRC) all comprising the Interagency Review Team (IRT) formerly the MBRT in accordance with Federal guidelines and regulations including the Compensatory Mitigation losses of Aquatic ' Resources Final Rule, 33 CFR Parts 325 and 332 and 40 CFR Part 230. The Monitoring requirements as they apply to both the stream and buffer restoration are detailed in the Mitigation Plan section of the MBI. Restoration work resulted in the restoration of approximately 15.1 acres (658,000 square feet) of riparian buffer associated with the restoration of approximately 6,825 linear feet, enhancement I of approximately 325 linear feet, and preservation of approximately 3,005 linear feet of stream (subject of a separate report submitted to the IRT). ' With the restoration, water quality will be improved due to a decrease in nutrients, turbidity, and moderation in water temperature. Biochemical oxygen demand will be reduced through filtering in the riparian buffer and riverme wetlands. Potential habitats have been added through the creation of bed features and reestablishment of riparian ' vegetative community. Monitoring Plan The annual monitoring work will assess the Bank's buffer riparian areas to determine restoration success. The monitoring plan has been set up based on guidance provided by The Stream Mitigation Guidelines developed by the United States Corps of Engineers - Wilmington District (McLendon, Scott, Fox, Becky et al. 2003), version 1.2 (11/16/2006) of the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) document entitled ' "Content, Format, and Data Requirements for EEP Monitoring Reports", version 2.0 3/2 /2 " ( 7 008) of the EEP document entitled Mitigation Plan Document Format, Data Requirements, and Content Guidance", and the Forrest Creek Mitigation Bank Mitigation Plan (May 2008). The monitoring will occur annually for five years with reports to be submitted during years 1-5 by December 31 st. ' Monitoring work will include reference photographs and vegetative stem counts. Mid- Atlantic Mitigation and NCDWQ in coordination with the appropriate regulatory agencies, will determine when riparian restoration has met success criteria. The sections below provide a framework for determining and assessing success criteria. Forrest Creek Mitigation Bank 2 Monitoring Year 1 of 5 The riparian buffer will be monitored for survivability and specific densities of planted vegetation and exclusion of invasive species. The site will be maintained during the ' monitoring period to allow it to continue on a trajectory that meets project goals and success criteria. The site will be replanted if vegetation shows signs of significant failure or if vegetative density goals contained in the MBI are not achieved. Vegetation monitoring took place on December 4th, 2008. Strategies and methodologies laid out in the Monitoring Plan will be followed for a minimum of five years of monitoring. Vegetative success of plantings for buffer restoration will be monitored for species diversity and survival with standardized, permanent (1 Om by I Om) vegetation plots to be monitored annually for 5 years. Monitoring data will be analyzed to ' determine what remedial actions if any are required and any remedial actions proposed will be detailed in the following monitoring report. ' 2.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND ' 2.1 LOCATION AND SETTING The Forrest Creek Mitigation Bank (Bank) is located in Orange County North Carolina ' within land owned by Milton A. Latta and Sons Dairy Farms, Inc. A permanent conservation easement covers the restored stream and surrounding riparian buffer. This ' easement defines the Bank's boundaries. The Bank is located approximately seven miles northeast of Hillsborough and six miles northwest of Durham in northe t O as ern range County, North Carolina. The stream(s) lie within USGS hydrologic unit 03020201020020 in the Neuse River Basin. Streams within the Bank consist of two reaches. The larger reach (Forrest Creek) flows through the property from north to south and drains a 3.6 square mile area consisting of ' predominantly forest and pasture land. The smaller tributary (Ut Forrest Creek) flows from west to east before joining with Forrest Creek and drains a 0.1 square mile area consisting of predominantly pasture land. Buffer restoration consist of approximately ' 15.1 acres (658,000 square feet) of land surrounding these streams. 2.2 STRUCTURE AND OBJECTIVES 1 1 The goals of the project relate to providing ecological improvements to the Bank's riparian buffers through beneficial modifications of water quality, and habitat. Goals related to water quality include: ? Reducing turbidity and pollution by reducing sediment and nutrient inputs (cattle exclusion) ? Reducing water temperatures by providing shading 1 Goals related to habitat include: ? Improving bank habitat by increasing stability and woody biomass ? Improving floodplain habitat by establishing microtopography and hydrology, Forrest Creek Mitigation Bank 3 Monitoring Year 1 of 5 removing invasive vegetation, and increasing habitat diversity ? Improving food web dynamics by adding biomass (such as detritus, coarse woody debris, and leaf matter) The restoration achieves these goals through the following objectives: ' ? Restoring soils in riparian buffer by excluding cattle and adding organic components ? Removing invasive vegetation ? Planting native vegetation in riparian buffer ? Fencing out livestock Together, these improvements will provide functional uplift for the watershed as a whole. Above the enhancement area, a section of Forrest Creek has been placed under ' conservation easement to preserve a functional stream channel and riparian buffer. The remaining impaired riparian buffer was planted as four (4) zones. Zones 1 and 2 are the stream channel and bank zones consisting of tree and shrub species and native herbaceous seeding typically found along stream banks in the region. Live stakes comprised the bulk of installed species within these zones. Zone 3 is the riparian zone consisting of selected tree and shrub species with a range of tolerances to inundation and saturation. Zone 4 is the transitional zone that includes the buffer areas.

Success will be gauged by stem counts of planted species. Stem counts of over 320 woody stems per acre after 5 years will be considered successful. Photos taken at established photo points should indicate maturation of riparian vegetation community. Photographs will help to capture the health of the planted vegetation and the severity of any invasive or exotic species that establish within the site. Permanent vegetative plots have been established at 14 locations. The success of vegetation plantings will be measured through stems counts. These plots will be used to sample primarily Zones 2, 3 and 4. Each plot covers 100 square meters for tree counts. Within each plot, a 1 meter plot will be sampled to measure herbaceous coverage. During the counts, the health of the vegetation will be noted. In addition to stem counts, the samples will inventory species diversity to allow for comparison between the reference and restoration wetlands and track the percent cover of nuisance species. The vegetation survey will occur during the growing season. On December 4th, 2008, the first year-vegetative monitoring was performed on the established vegetative plots.

Stem counts of over 320 trees and shrubs per acre after 5 years will be considered successful. The composition of the vegetation community should trend toward a predominance of target species. A ' majority (80%) of the target species should be present in the reforestation area in numbers and condition conducive to continuing the species through the maturation of the community. The population of invasive species will be kept below 10% of the total population. Photos taken at established photo points should indicate maturation of riparian vegetation community. The Year 1 monitoring numbers indicate approximately 70% survival and 341 stems per acre. Six of 14 plots indicate stem counts below 320, five of which are along the main channel of Forrest Creek. The Tributary area was planted first and shows excellent i l d ' surv va an stem counts. Five of seven plots along Forrest Creek as well as the majority of the livestakes installed along the main channel show survival below 75% and stem counts below 320. Given this level of mortality, the sponsor plans to install supplemental ' plantings of approximately 1000 stems along the main channel of Forrest Creek and to re- livestake key areas that showed vulnerability during recorded bankfull events winter/ spring 2009. VQ6 lost several plantings to equipment traffic for bank repairs. Due to the ' late season veg counts, some individuals were somewhat difficult to identify, have remained unidentified, and may change next year. Three stems of Cercis canadensis were ' counted as part of the baseline count and two stems were found in the monitoring count. Cercis is not on the official plantin list however accordi t th l ti g , ng o e p an ng contractor, these individuals along with a few random individuals currently marked as unknowns may have been mixed into the planting stock at the nursery. Final identifications will be ' made during the 2009 count which will occur earlier in the growing season. Along the main channel of Forrest Creek herbaceous cover is well established. Sample plots indicated an average of 75% cover with a range of 50 (VQ4) to 100% cover (VQ7). The plots are dominated primarily by native grasses. VQ1 and 2 contained 25% standing ' water, VQ6 has been recently stabilized with annual rye due to equipment traffic for repairs to the stream bank. VQ7 showed the most robust growth with 100% cover of Polygonum pennsylvanicum and Xanthium strumarium and also showed the lowest Forrest Creek Mitigation Bank 8 Monitoring Year 1 of 5 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 percent survival of any plot potentially due to difficulty finding planted material in such dense herbaceous cover. Along the unnamed tributary herbaceous cover is well established and more mature then the main channel. Sample plots indicated an average of 92% cover with the lowest being plot VQT2 at 80%. The plots are dominated by Xanthium strumarium, Solidago sp. and F,upatorium capillifolium. In Appendix A, the vegetative survey data tables show the actual counts of each species found per plot, stressed and dead plants were noted. 3.1.5 Site Stability Assessment Summary Some areas along the main channel of Forrest Creek sustained damage due to bankfull conditions associated with the combination of hurricane remnant rainfall associated with Hurricane Gustav and then Hurricane Hanna within 2 weeks. These areas were repaired by a small sub-contractor, Little Cornwall Environmental. Repaired areas include the right bank near VQ6, a drainage swale between VQ4 and the confluence of the Tributary, and the right bank near Cross Section 2. Photos showing damage caused by the bankfull event(s) and the repair work are located in Appendix D. These areas, in particular, will be replanted and livestaked. Beaver have been observed on site at the above the culvert at Edmund Latta Road and on the Tributary at the crossing above VQT1 and Profile 3. The dams have been removed and the beaver population is being managed as necessary. On going beaver management will be maintained as part of the monitoring requirements as discussed in the Mitigation Plan. The herbaceous vegetative cover has developed a healthy and diverse community throughout most of the site. The planted trees and shrubs in the riparian and buffer areas have also done relatively well and are supplemented by an existing buffer community which will provide a seed source for volunteers well suited to the current site conditions. However, given the level of mortality along the main channel of Forrest Creek, most likely due to late planting, the sponsor plans to install supplemental plantings of approximately 1000 stems along the main channel of Forrest Creek and to re-livestake key areas that showed vulnerability during recorded bankfull events winter/ spring 2009. Overall, the stream channel has stabilized well and weathered multiple bankfull events, including several high rainfall events and hurricane remnant rainfall events. Damage to the site was minimal given the severity of these events and indicates that the site should weather normal storm and bankfull events successfully in the future.
