8. PROJECT SUMIMARY: Applicant is the NC Coastal Federation. The proposal is to manipulate
14.6 acres of prior converted farmlands that presently form the headwaters of Ward's Creek, and
through the filling of ditches and lowering of the southeastern boundary closest to the unaltered
Ward's Creek, convert the property, back to 119 acres of marsh, floodplain, and forested
Nvetlands.
Field Investigation Report:
NCCF - Ward's Creek Watershed Restoration - Phase I
Page 02
9. Narrative Description:
Site Description:
The project site is 119 acres of prior converted wetland and forested Netlands purchased by
the North Carolina Coastal Federation from Open Ground Farms. This section of the
property purchase lies west of and adjacent to the "present-day" headwaters of Ward's
Creek, off of Highway 70 and North River Farms Road north of the community of Otway,
Carteret County. This proposal is the first phase of the Ward's Creel: Restoration that is a
part of the greater North River Restoration undertaken by the NCCF. The first 3 phases of
the NR Restoration have been completed.
According to the NCCF, there are 1830 acres within the Ward's Creel: watershed, in which
part of the Open Grounds Farms lies. 'Tlne farnn canal that now forms the headwaters of
Ward's Creel: drains 7 square miles of Open Ground Farms. This canal became the main
conduit of the creel: when the farm fields were created by filling and draining the original
bed of the creek and its floodplain west of the current canal. 'fhe canal is tidally influenced,
witli the bed elevation being that of nhw, or 2.2' nnsl. This canal accepts stormwater and
groundwater from the connecting ditches, as well as stormwater runoff from the farm fields,
and interacts with lunar and wind tidal waters at and above the normal high tide level. The
elevation of the property ranges from 0' nhw (within the canal bed) to +8' nhw (10.2' nnsl).
The canal averages 40' top width, while the connecting ditches range from 12' to 20' top
width. Another similar canal forms the southern border of the farm field portion of the
property, and the northern boundary of the forested wetlands. The ditches within the
project area drain to both the canal to the south and the canal to the east. The bed elevations
of the ditches are all above the nhw contour.
Presently, the 119-acre tract consists of cleared and heavily ditched PC farmland, with the
southernmost section in forested wetlands, not to be disturbed by this proposal. There are
unimproved roads throughout the farm, and culverts connecting the ditches and canals.
Throughout the farm typically, and this 119-acre tract specifically, the ditches are parallel
and in 330' intervals. The farm fields within this tract appear to have been fallow for several
years. 'File sides of the main canal are sparsely vegetated with Myrica cerifera and I3accharis
halimifolia. The sides of the smaller ditches are lined with phragmites australis, Nl rica
cerifera, I3accharis halimifolia, Acer rubrunn, Juni perus vii- iniana, and young growth Pinus
taeda.
The project goals are to re-open sliellfishing in Ward's Creek, restore the coastal wetland and
associated floodplain, restore forested wetlands, restore fisheries resources within the creek,
enhance migratory bird liabitat, establish an estuarine wildlife refuge and wetland bio-
reserve contiguous with the 3 phases of the North River Farms wetland restoration sites.
Through the manipulation of 14.6 acres of farm ditches and adjacent historic floodplain, 2.7
acres of marsh and associated floodplain will be restored, 19.3 acres of bottonnland forested
wetland will be restored, and 97 acres of non-riverine hardwood, swamp, pine wetland will
be restored.
Field Investigation Report:
NCCF - `yard's Creek Watershed Restoration - Phase I
Page 03
`yards Creel: is closed to the taking of shellfish, is designated Primary Nursery Area by the
DMF, and is. classified SA Waters by the DWQ. The portion of the creek that forms the
eastern boundary of this project site is a created canal that was historically shifted 800' to
1000' east of the original Ward's Creek. The natural creek joins the canal at the
southernmost point of the tract. Sediment composition within the natural creel: is very fine
and silty, while the canal and ditch beds are sandy. The Carteret County Land Use Plan
classifies this area as Rural, with AFC's classified as Conservation.
Project Proposal:
'The proposal begins with filling the infield ditches, approximately 10,700 linear feet, to a
width averaging 20', for a total of 4.9 acres. The ditches will be filled to the existing
elevation of the adjacent fields, avg. +3.8' nhw, to recreate the historic hydrodynamics. The
southernmost and lowest end of the ditches will have check dams constructed for sediment
retention. A total of 9 berms, or linear hllillnlocics, will be constructed crossing various areas
of the filled ditches, intended to promote storillwater ponding. These IlUlnlllocks Nvill also
serve as elevated viewing areas for the public. A total of 2900' of hummocks will be
constructed in these 9 areas, with an average of 19.5' in width, for a total of 1.3 acres.
A series of 17 wetland depressions will be excavated front the infield area for storillwater
ponding, for a total of 1.7 acres. Two excavated material stockpiles will be created along the
northern boundary of the property, totaling 1.5 acres in size.
Midway along the eastern property boundary, adjacent to the slain canal, a marsh floodplain
and tidal slough will be created, for a total marsh floodplain area of 4.9 acres, and tidal
slough of .3 acres. This area will be bordered by the canals to the east and south. 'File
proposal is to leave a "levee" along the canal bank, excavating 2' to 5' from the canal banks
to reach all elevation of +.8' nhw, to interact with extreme tide overflow of the banks. 'T'he
area to be excavated for marsh floodplain is approximately 900' x 225', or 4.9 acres, and will
have a finished elevation of +.1' to .2' nllw. The slough to carry tidal waters into this
created marsh will be approximately 1036' in length, and 10' in width, meandering thru the
newly created floodplain. The elevation of the slough will be -1' nhw, and will connect to
the same elevation at the conflux of the two ditches, where the creel: begins to naturalize. A
check danl is proposed at this waterward point of the slough for sediment control. Adjacent
to and south of this connection are high coastal marsh species at natural elevation. No
excavation will be needed within the creel: bottom itself. rlle material excavated for the
floodplain and slough will be utilized for the infield filling previously described.
Within the coastal floodplain, the proposal is to plant juncos roemerianus, Spartina patens,
Spartina alterniflora, and Distichlis s icata. 'rlne remainder of the site is to be vegetated with
various forested Nvetland species. Three gauges will be installed for continuous groundwater
monitoring to evaluate success of the restored ecosystems.

---------------------------
10. Anticipated Impacts:
Approximately 14.6 acres of PC Wetlands, presently in the form of fallow farm fields,
will be altered for the purpose of restoring the entire 119-acre tract to its previous
wetland habitats. This will require the filling of 7.7 acres of ditches and infield, and the
excavation of 6.9 acres of infield area. All work will take place within the "high
ground," or PC area. In the application and plats, the applicant speaks of excavation
below iihw, but lie refers to the finished elevation of areas excavated from high ground.
The applicant commits to the use of silt fencing, sediment curtains, and clieck dams to
prevent sedimentation of the Ward's Creek system during construction, and vegetation
and check dams to prevent the same over the long term. No equipment will be in the
waters or wetlands for the construction of this project. If successful, the project should
restore forested and coastal wetlands, provide educational value to the public, and if
project goals are realized, enhance aquatic, avian, and other wildlife resources, as well as
allowing for the re-opening of Ward's Creel: for sliellfishing.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Phase 1 Ward Creek project consists of 119 acres of wetland restoration within former farmlands. The 119-acre area is situated
along the western boundary of Ward Creek, a tidally influenced, dredged canal draining approximately 7 square miles within Open
Ground Farm (Sheet G-1, G-2). The Site extends through historic floodplains (19 acres) and groundwater slopes (36 acres)
associated with Ward Creek before dredging and agricultural activities diverted the watershed into the canal network (Sheet P-1).
The remainder of the Site (64 acres) includes an elevated, mineral soil flat historically dominated by precipitation inputs.
Elevations range from : 2.2 feet above mean sea level (MSL) in the bed of Ward Creek at canal outfall to 10.2 feet above
MSL on the western periphery of the precipitation flat.
The goals of wetland restoration at North River Farms include the following primary objectives:
1) reopening of dosed (contaminated) shell-fishing reaches in receiving marshes, streams, and rivers;
2) restoragon or creation of coastal marshes and floodplaln ecosystems lost due to dredging and canalization.
3) re-establishment of viable commercial fisheries within the receiving estuary;
4)'development of a major fly-way and stopover for migratory birds;
5) establishment of a contiguous estuarine wildlife refuge and wetland bloreserve within the coastal region.
Construction, vegetation planting, and erosion control methods have been subdivided within three landscape areas for descriptive
purposes: l) precipitation flat; 2) historic floodplain; and 3) Ward Creek canal marsh and floodplain creation
area.
Preclpltatlon Flat (Sheet P-4)
The interstream divide represents a relatively flat, convex landform with ditches constructed at 330-foot Intervals.
Historically, wetland hydrodynamics were dominated by precipitation inputs and shallow groundwater tables with surface water
limited to ephemeral pools of standing water after rain events. Interior field areas have been crowned to encourage radial
subsurface migration of precipitation Inputs and surface water I sediment migration into the inter-field ditches and downstream
waters. Therefore, sediment and erosion control will consist primarily of dosing these ditches with earthen barriers prior to
outfall from the Site (Sheet D-1). Subsequently earthwork, composed of ditch baddilling and wetland depression excavation, will
be performed on relatively flat land surfaces behind the earthen barriers. Surface water accumulation behind earthen barriers (if
any) will be pumped from ditch backfill corridors Into constructed wetland depressions as needed. Pumping will be performed to
ensure that surface water accumulations do not overtop the earthen barrier as the ditch Is being backfilled. Temporary slit fence
will be Installed around stockpile/staging areas. However, a 5D-foot buffer will remain between all interfleld earthwork and
off-sita (perimeter) ditches to Inhibit localized erosion that may not be trapped within the on-sita ditches and pumping
operation. Temporary seeding will be provided on all disturbed slopes within 15 calendar days. Successional, old-field vegetation
growth Is expected to provide permanent cover In addition to planted tree elements characteristic of nondvedne wet hardwood
forest and wet pine flatwood habitats (Sheet P-7).
Historic 1 Former Ward Creek Floodplaln (Shoat P-5)
The historic floodplain comprises 19 acres of a concave landforn that supported the historic origin of Ward Creek, likely as a
braided swamp forest habitat However, the Ward Creek channel was lowered and diverted into the anal network along the eastern
boundary of the Site. Therefore, these historic floodplains have been effectively bypassed by the drainage network.
The old floodplain supports a concave basin and periodic surface water flow that is conducive to establishment of a seasonally
ponded, wetland and waterfowl habitat Therefore, a series of low hummocks will be constructed across the lower portion of the
map unit to inhibit surface water runoff and to promote standing water. During hurricanes, high velocity flood flows from Open
Ground Farm will re-work this area, so no improved berms, flash-board risers or other outlet control structures are proposed
during the current phase of this work.
For sediment and erosion control, ditches will be back filled as described above and cypress-tupelo swamp forest species planted
within or around the periphery of pondod areas.
Ward Creek Canal Marsh and Floodplain Creation Area (Sheet P-6)
The Ward Creek anal drains approximately 4000 acres of Open Grounds Farts along the eastern periphery of the Site. The anal
supports a bed profile ranging from 2.0 feet to 0.5 feet above mean sea level (Sheet X-1, X-2). The bankfull elevation profile
has been estimated to range from 1.9 feet at outfall into the reference marsh to 3.5 feet at the upstream terminus (culvert).
However, the land surface ranges from 4.5 to 7.5 feet (Sheet P-2) so the anal is deeply entrenched and has sustained severe bank
erosion. Therefore, floodplain creation will be required to establish a functioning riverine ecosystem along the creek. Normal
High Water (NHW) and the elevation of rivedne marshes has been measured at 22 feet above mean sea level (MSL).
Topsoil will be stripped and stockpiled adjacent to the floodplain creation area. A stream-side levee will be left in place
adjacent to the Ward Creek levee to prevent sediment from entering the waterway. In addition, a rock check dam and sediment
containment boom will be installed at the downstream end of the excavation area. During construction, water contained within the
enclosed basin will be pumped to the historic floodplain catchments described above. Excavation to floodplain elevations will
required removal to depths of 2 to 5 feet The excavated material will be used to constructed low hummocks, badfill ditches, or
to establish an elevated hill for public viewing opportunities. Temporary seeding will be performed within 15 days of excavation.
Marsh and floodplain elements will be planted the following winter! spring.

CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE
1) Obtain and post necessary permits. Install continuous monitoring rain gauge, upstream We gauge, and downstream
tide gauge. Repair and maintain the dirt access road along the northern periphery of the site for passage by 2-wheel
drive vehicles.
Int©rstream Flat and Former Floodplaln Area
2) Start in western (Interstream flat) project area. Clear and grub the westem-most ditch, spreading woody debris on
inter-field soil surfaces. Install earthen barrier 50 feet up the ditch from the drainage anal on the southern
property boundary. Backfill the ditch and install hummocks along 50-foot ditch sections starting from the access road
and proceeding downslope, towards the earthen barrier.
3) Key-in ditch plugs at the downstream end of each 50-foot backfill section by excavating a 5-foot trench into each
ditch bank, installing dean compactable soil, and compacting the material into the ditch section.
4) Pump out accumulated water behind the earthen barrier to prevent over-topping of the structure during backfill
operations. Pump accumulated water into excavated depressions in interfield area. Move hose to adjacent depressions as
needed to prevent surface water runoff during the backfill operation.
5) Perform earthen barrier, backfill, hummock, and pumping operation on each ditch proceeding from west to east Stop
ditch backfilling operation in the marsh creation area.
Marsh and Floodplain Creation Area
6) Install silt fence around (to demarcate) the stockpile area at the location shown in the plans. Clear and grub the
ditch banks extending through the floodplain creation area. Install earthen barriers at the location shown in the
plans. -
7) Install silt fence along the Southern Canal and along the bank of Ward Creek as shown in the plans. Begin
excavation at the downslope terminus of the creation area, within the enclosed basin. Stockpile topsoil for
redistribution to final grade. Pump accumulated water within the basin, as needed, into inter-field areas.
8) Upon excavation of subgrade, spread the stockpiled topsoil to achieve final floodplain grade. Temporary seed the
final grades. After temporary grass cover has been achelved, remove the silt fence and install the rock check dam at
the Southern Canal as shown in the plans.
9) Install permanent vegetation and remove the rock check dam, by hand, after permanent vegetation has become
established

3) Excavated depressions will be placed in interfield areas and accumulated surface water will be pumped to these depressional ponds
during the ditch backfilling operation.
4) Agricultural hardpans will be ripped with a subsurface harrow plow to a depth of greater than 14 inches. Localized surface microtopography will be
encouraged to the extent practical to promote short term surface water storage, infiltration, and to minimize surface water runoff.
5) Ditch backfill sections may Include isolated reaches that remain open as determined during the field operation.
Excavation will a performed within an enclosed basin to prevent tidal inflow during high tide and to inhibit surface water runoff downslope into
receiving waters.
7) Stream-side levees will be left along the banks of Ward Creek and the South Canal to isolate the work area from existing ditches/canals. Silt
fence will be installed to enclose the operation. A turbidity curtain will be installed in Ward Creek as well. Ponded surface water within the
floodplain working area will be pumped into depressional ponds constructed within the interfileld areas to prevent over-topping of the levees.
8) Upon achievement of final floodplain grades (2.2.2.4 feet), a backwater slough will be opened to the south anal and a rock check dam (silt
screen) will be installed to allow impeded drainage for vegetation growth.
9) Salt tolerant marsh and floodplain vegetation will be planted as soon as practicable after excavation is completed. The rock check dam and
sections of the stream-side levees may be lowered, by mini-excavator on log mats, after permanent vegetation has become established and floodplain
surfaces are stable.
10) Ward Creek is expected to develop increased channel sinuosity within the created floodplain and to migrate towards the backwater slough area over
time. Studies Indicate that, under similar valley slopes, over 50% of an active floodplain will be re-worked by stream slidLs over several decades
(A). Permanent stable vegetation planted on the floodplain will reduce the rate of channel migration so that accreting point bars may develop at the
same rate that pool outer bends are eroding. Concurrently, long term monitoring and management will be performed to measure turbidity, sediment,
water quality, vegetation stab'il'ity, and channel migration rate.

11) The location or elevation of constructed swales I berms may be modified in the field based on topographic surveys by laser level. Current
topographic data Is derived by digital terrain models (DTMs) generated from aerial photography and ground controrsurvey panels.
2) Excavated depressions will be placed on the Interfleld crown as needed to generate material for earthen backfill. In addition, the depressions
will be used to store pumped surface water from the ditch backfill corridor (Sheet D-1).
3) Agricultural hardpans on the precipitation flats will be ripped with a subsurface harrow plow to a depth of greater than 14 inches. Localized Tempura Stockpile (TYP)
surface microtopography will also be encouraged to the extent practical to promote short term surface water storage, needed

1) Some species elements may not be locally available at the time of planting.
The stem count for unavailable species should be distributed among the other
target elements based upon the fractional distribution depicted in the table.
One year advance nottficabon to nurseries will promote availability of some
non-commercial elements. However, reproductive failure in the nursery may
occur.
2) Tree species will be planted as bare root seedlings during the dormant
winter period while herbaceous (marsh) elements vAl be planted as tubelings in
the spring (March-May).
3) Distichlus spicata (salt grass) plantings will be harvested by hand from the
reference marsh (Sheet P-2).
4) Hydrology monitoring water quality, discharge, tidal characteristics, and
groundwater monitoring) features will be completed for pre-and post-protect
conditions as depicted: Vegetation monitoring may be proposed in the future
dependent upon as-built vegetation planting.
5 Tree planting may be staged over a number of years, decreased, or deleted
altogether basd upon available funding. Successional vegetation growth without
tree planting will include natural recruitment of wet pine flatwood community
elements; representing a diverse ecosystem on precipitation flats in the region.

1) No uipment entry, excavation, or work is proposed within the Ward Creek canal or south drainage
canal ((Seet P-1). Topsoil stockpiling, floodplain excavation, topsoil redistribution, and fine
re work will be isolated from open surface waters behind residual stream-side leveees
containment berms). The backwater slough outfall and rock check dam will be insalled, connecting
e marsh and floodplain creation area to open waters, after all earthwork has been completed.
Accumulated surface water within the construction basin will be pumped, as needed, into constructed
wetland depressions.
