Landmark Center II, Suite 220 4601 Six Forks Road Raleigh, North Carolina 27A-aQ December 2008 " N ENHANCEMENTPFZpCj?AM Fifth Year Monitoring Report Daniels Farm 41 Wetland Restoration Project 0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Daniels Farm Wetland Restoration Site is located on the Clyde Daniels Farm, south-southeast of Louisburg in Franklin County, North Carolina. The restoration of 31.72 acres of non-riverine wetlands was completed in March 2004. This monitoring report presents the data and findings from 2008 following the fifth monitoring year. Included in this report are analyses of both hydrologic and vegetation monitoring results as well as local climatic conditions throughout the growing season. Monitoring activities included sampling vegetation survivability at nine locations, monitoring groundwater elevations at eight locations and documenting general site conditions at five permanent photograph points within the wetland restoration area. In addition, daily precipitation was recorded at the site. These data were evaluated and verified using climatic data for Louisburg, North Carolina. Field investigations were conducted in June and November 2008. Supporting data and site photographs are included in the report appendices. The 31.72-acre wetland restoration site was initially planted at a density of 436 trees per acre. Supplemental planting occurred during the winter of 2004-2005. Nine vegetation monitoring plots were established throughout the planting areas instead of the eight originally discussed in the as-built report. The additional plot was established to monitor the survival and growth of the bald cypress and water tupelo area. The 2008 vegetation monitoring of the planted areas revealed an average density of 618 trees per acre, which is well above the minimum requirement of 260 trees per acre needed to meet the success criteria. After five years, the average density for the Low Elevation Seep species (Zone 1) was 540 trees per acre and the Non-Riverine Wet Hardwood Forest species (Zone 2) had a density of 640 trees per acre. During the 2008 monitoring year, wetland hydrology was achieved at all eight wells on the site. Groundwater was within 12 inches of the soil surface in excess of the success criteria of 12 consecutive days (5% of the growing season) at each well. In fact, the water table was within 12 inches of the soil surface continually for greater than 12.5% of the growing season at seven wells. The daily rainfall data depicted on the gauge data graphs were obtained from the on-site precipitation gauge. The precipitation gauge was installed on the site in 2003 prior to project implementation. Daily rainfall data from the project site were compared to historic precipitation data for Louisburg, North Carolina in order to determine whether the monitoring year experienced below average, average, or above average rainfall. This analysis showed that 2008 was an average year. Soils in the restoration portion of the site were determined to be Roanoke and Toisnot. Since these soils are already considered hydric, no success criteria or monitoring is required. Site photographs were taken from five permanent photograph points established along the property boundary. Photograph documentation facilitates the qualitative evaluation of the conditions or changes in the restored wetland. The photo point locations were selected in order to document representative site conditions. 0 Fifth Year Monitoring Report Daniels Farm 41 Wetland Restoration Project TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.0 Summary ............................................................................................................................ 1 2.0 Data Analysis ..................................................................................................................... 3 3.0 Maintenance/Management Actions ................................................................................. 3 4.0 Conclusions ........................................................................................................................ 3 Tables Table 1.

Supplemental planting occurred during the winter of 2004-2005. Originally there were eight vegetation monitoring plots established throughout the planting areas covering two vegetative communities, a Low-Elevation Seep and the Non-Riverine Wet Hardwood Forest. However, a ninth plot was established in 2004 to monitor the bald cypress and water tupelo planted in the Non-Riverine Wet Hardwood Forest community. The 2008 vegetation monitoring of the planted areas revealed an average density of 618 trees per acre, which is well above the minimum requirement of 260 trees per acre (Appendix A). After five years, the average density for the Low Elevation Seep species (Zone 1) was 540 trees per acre and the Non-Riverine Wet Hardwood Forest species (Zone 2) had 640 trees per acre. A total of 6.5 trees per vegetation monitoring plot are needed to meet the 260 trees per acre minimum requirement and the average number of trees per plot in 2008 was 15.4.

Fifth Year Monitoring Report Daniels Farm #1 Wetland Restoration Project 2.1 Vegetation Vegetation monitoring in 2008 found that most of the trees are tall enough that the site's dense herbaceous vegetation is not having a detrimental effect on them. Overall the trees are healthy and growing well throughout the wetland. 2.2 Hydrology Wetland restoration on the site focused on the removal of hydrologic alterations and included filling the primary ditches and grassed waterways, plugging the lateral ditches, removing ditch spoil to restore natural seepage areas, placing water diversion features to redistribute the surface hydrology, installing restrictive berms to reduce runoff and enhance infiltration, and recreating microtopography across the site to enhance surface water retention and storage. Based on the hydrological results, this site has met and exceeded the groundwater criteria outlined in the wetland restoration plan. Ditch plugging, filling and the other hydrologic restoration methods have resulted in increased short-term surface and subsurface water storage and subsequent increase in the duration and elevation of the seasonally high water table. 2.3 Soils Soils in the restoration portion of the site were determined to be Roanoke and Toisnot, both hydric soils on the state and federal hydric soils lists. NRCS verified the limits of hydric soils and confirmed their status as Prior Converted wetland. As the soils are already considered hydric, no success criteria or monitoring are required. 3.0 MAINTENANCE/MANAGEMENT ACTIONS No maintenance/management actions were necessary in 2008. 4.0 CONCLUSIONS Findings from this monitoring year indicate that the project is meeting the success criteria set for the site. The criterion for the survival of the planted species is 260 stems/acre at the end of five years of monitoring. The 2008 vegetation monitoring of the planted vegetation revealed an average density of 618 trees per acre, which is above the minimum requirement of 260 trees per acre. Non-target species do not constitute more than 20 percent of the woody vegetation based on permanent monitoring plots. For the 2008 monitoring year, seven gauges were continually saturated for more than 12.5% of the growing season and one was continually saturated for 8%-12.5% of the growing season, which exceeds the hydrologic success criteria of at least 5% continuous saturation during the growing season. • 3 • • Appendix A Vegetation Monitoring Plot Data Sheets Vegetation Monitoring Worksheet Site: Daniels
