Subject: Stallings Buffer Restoration Site #357, MMI responses to MY4 draft review comments.
Dear Mr. Schaffer,
Wm
MOGENSEN MITIGATION, INC
Thank you for your review comments on our MY4 Draft Monitoring Report for the Stallings site which you
received on 27 November 2017. Below are responses to your review comments:
1a. Please ensure that MMI uses the correct coordinate system, State Plane Feet NAD 83 for all GIS
shapefiles/layers. Specifically, a warning came up regarding this for the "Flat—Swamp" and "Planted
BufferLine" data sources.
Response: "Planted Bufferline" was an old duplicate feature which we have now deleted. "Flat Swamp"
coordinates have been corrected to State Plane Feet NAD -83.
1b. Please note that while MMI did provide area breakdowns and mitigation approaches for each
riparian buffer area, in future submittals, please provide the acreage and square footage in the attribute
table(s) as required by contract and stated in the most recent DMS monitoring report template and
digital drawing requirements.
Response: Areas for the planted buffer shape files are included in the attribute tables for each polygon.
The "Planted Bufferline" feature (now deleted) was a polyline rather than polygon feature, and thus did not
include an area.
2. Section 1.3 page 4 — Multiple references to Figures 113-C in the second paragraph but the monitoring
report does not have a Figure C. Please remove references to Figure C.
Response: The MYO as -built report had a pre -restoration features map that was not included in subsequent
monitoring reports. References to Figure 1C have been removed.
Along with this response letter we are mailing you three paper copies and one CD containing a pdf of the
revised report plus all support files and updated GIS files.
Sincerely,
Gerald Pottern

1.0. Project Summary
1.1. Project Goals & Objectives
The Stallings Buffer Restoration Project is located on a 146 -acre parcel of former cropland in northern
Jones County NC, in the Trent River sub -basin of the Neuse River Basin, USGS Cataloging Unit (CU)
#03020204-010050 (Figure IA). The NC Department of Transportation (NCDOT) purchased this
property east of Wyse Fork Rd (SR -1002) in 2003 for conservation use, and also acquired a
conservation easement on 3 additional acres of farmed riparian land immediately upstream on the west
side of Wyse Fork Rd. Access points into the site are located on Wyse Fork Rd (Lat: 35.1682, Lon: -
77.4845) and Webb Farm Rd (Lat: 35.1722, Lon: -77.4823).
The 2010 Neuse River Basin Restoration Priority Plan (RBRP) identifies agricultural impacts including
stream channelization, wetland ditching, loss of forested riparian buffers, and nonpoint source runoff as
causes of water quality degradation in the Trent River watershed. The Plan identifies "reestablishment of
riparian buffers and corridors of substantial width to improve connectivity of protected areas" and
"projects that address agricultural runoff' as priority goals for this watershed. Restoration Goals for CU
#03020204 as identified in the 2010 plan include:
• Promote nutrient and sediment reduction in agricultural areas by restoring and preserving wetlands,
streams and riparian buffers.
• Continue targeted implementation of Nutrient Offset and Riparian Buffer program projects, and focus
NCDOT-sponsored restoration in areas where it will provide ecosystem functional improvement.
Protect, augment and connect Natural Heritage Areas and other conservation lands.
The Stallings Buffer Restoration Project was identified as an opportunity to improve water quality and
augment conservation lands within the Trent River watershed. The project goals include the following:
• Provide improved water quality by reducing nutrient and sediment loads to the receiving waters.
• Improve terrestrial and aquatic habitat and connectivity in the Flat Swamp Watershed.
These goals will be achieved through implementation of the following project objectives (Figure 113):
• Restore 31.6 acres of riparian buffers by planting native tree species at a sufficient density to promote
native forest succession, thus increasing riparian area root density and nutrient uptake.
• Preserve 19.1 acres of riparian riverine wetlands along Flat Swamp and its tributaries.
1.2. Project Success Criteria
Tree planting on 31.6 acres of riparian buffers along Streams A, B, and C was conducted in February to
early March 2014. Post -construction annual monitoring will be conducted from 2014 through 2018
using 25 permanent CVS vegetation plots all five years, and 25 temporary warranty plots during the first
three years. The CVS plots were established by RJG&A (now Mogensen Mitigation Inc) during March
2014. Vegetative success of the buffer restoration is evaluated based on a minimum of 320 planted

native hardwood trees per acre at the end of 5 years, as specified in the project mitigation plan. (Note:
The 2015 Monitoring Report stated that the density criterion had been revised to 260 planted stems per
acre at the end of 5 years, based on the 2014 Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rules. The original
criterion of 320 trees per acre was reinstated after discussion between DMS and DWR in 2016).
1.3. Project Setting & Pre -Restoration Conditions
The Stallings Buffer Restoration Project is located on a 146 -acre parcel of former cropland in the
northern corner of Jones County NC, along the transition zone between the Inner Coastal Plain and
Outer Coastal Plain, eight miles southeast of downtown Kinston NC. Traveling to the site from Kinston,
drive east on US -70 into Jones County, turn right on Wyse Fork Rd (SR -1002) about 0.5 mile past the
Lenoir/Jones County line, then travel south approximately 3.5 miles to Webb Farm Road (SR -1306).
The Stallings site is located southeast of the intersection of Wyse Fork Road and Webb Farm Road
(Figure IA). The northern portion of the site is accessible from Webb Farm Road, and the southern
portion is accessible from Wyse Fork Road near the intersection with Moore Rd (SR -1306). Elevations
on the site range from 42 to 52 feet above mean seal level (NAVD-83).
The Stallings site is drained by channelized streams and ditches flowing southeastward into Flat Swamp
along the eastern boundary of the site (Figure 1B). In May 2011 the NC Division of Water Resources
(DWR) agent Chris Pullinger provided a letter and color -coded map indicating streams subject to Neuse
River Buffer Rules (Appendix A). Intermittent or perennial channels subject to Buffer Rules are
mapped in blue, and ephemeral channels or ditches not subject to Buffer Rules are mapped in red by
DWR. The three streams where DMS seeks buffer credits (blue streams in DWR's map) are labeled A,
B and C in Figure 1B. A fourth stream segment near the northeast corner of the site is also mapped in
blue (Stream D in Figure 1B), but is not labeled on the DWR map or listed in the letter. Due to this
discrepancy DMS is not seeking buffer credit along Stream D. Flat Swamp flows into Beaver Creek in
the Trent River sub -basin of the Neuse River basin, USGS Cataloging Unit #03020204-010050 and
DWR sub -basin 03-04-11. An adjacent protected conservation area (non -DMS) across Flat Swamp east
of the Stallings site creates a combined conservation area of 307 acres. This site in turn connects with
Great Dover Swamp, comprising several thousand acres of mostly undeveloped land in the Beaver
Creek and Trent River watershed, between Wyse Fork Rd and US -70.
The USDA Soil Survey of Jones County (Barnhill, 198 1) shows Goldsboro fine sandy loam (GoA)
mapped on the higher, well -drained areas on the northern part of the site, Meggett loam (Me) on the
majority of the site including the planted areas, and Stockade fine sandy loam (Sx) along the Flat
Swamp floodplain. Meggett loam and Stockade fine sandy loam are designated hydric soils, although
much of the area mapped as Meggett has been drained and altered by agricultural activity and is not
jurisdictional wetland in its current condition. Vegetation on the former cropland areas includes a mix of
grasses, herbs, shrubs, vines, and tree seedlings typical of abandoned fields. A 120 -ft -wide mowed
powerline right-of-way lies east -west across the middle of the site. The floodplain of Flat Swamp along
the eastern edge of the site supports about 16 acres of mature bottomland hardwood and swamp forest
wetlands, and the lower reaches of Streams A and C (north and south of the powerline) have about 3
acres of disturbed (previously farmed) scrub -dominated riparian wetlands. Wetland hydrology is
maintained by a combination of upland runoff and occasional overbank flooding (Stantec, 2011).

1.4. Project Design Approach, Components and Mitigation Assets
The 146 -acre Stallings Buffer Restoration Site is former cropland purchased by NC Department of
Transportation (NCDOT) in 2003, and is protected for conservation use by a deed restriction. The 3 -acre
riparian buffer on the adjacent Lee property west of Wyse Fork Rd is protected by a conservation
easement. In 2003 the Stallings site had sparse cover of predominantly herbaceous old -field weeds, but
vegetation density and height increased over the subsequent decade (2003 to 2013) as shrubs and sapling
trees became established, especially Baccharis, Morella, Rubus, and Pinus.
The Mitigation Plan (Stantec Consulting Services, 2011) included 40.0 acres of Riparian Buffer
Restoration (40.0 Mitigation Units), 27.2 acres of Nitrogen Nutrient Offset (27.2 Mitigation Units), 3.0
acres of Wetland Enhancement (1.5 Mitigation Units), 16.1 acres of Wetland Preservation (3.2
Mitigation Units), and 5,403 feet of Stream Enhancement (2,161 Mitigation Units), all on the 146 -acre
eastern tract. The 3 -acre western tract has no mitigation credits.
During the interval between development of the 2011 Mitigation Plan and project implementation in
Feb -Mar 2014, natural colonization and growth of tree saplings and shrubs continued in the fallow fields
and proposed wetland enhancement areas. The Riparian Buffer Restoration area was subsequently
reduced from 40.0 acres to 31.6 acres, with buffers extending 200 feet laterally from the DWR-verified
stream -banks, except where limited by the powerline right-of-way, roads, and areas with adequate
natural woody stem density (other than pines and exotics). DMS and DWR determined that the
proposed Wetland Enhancement areas along the lower reaches of Streams A and C would instead be
categorized as Wetland Preservation, since supplemental tree planting was no longer needed. Stream
channel reconstruction was determined to be unnecessary and was deleted from the plan based on the
engineer's calculations of shear stress and stream power, and confirmation by DWR in May 2011 that
the existing channels appear relatively stable. Nutrient offset buffers along the non -stream ditches were
deleted, as were the proposed stream enhancement mitigation credits along Streams A, B and C.
The original plan to clear and grub the riparian buffer planting areas was changed to mowing only to
preserve the many native volunteer saplings. Planting areas were mowed in 2014 with a bush -hog to
facilitate planting and reduce competition for the planted trees. Pinus, Liquidambar, and shrubs were
mostly mowed or cut, but other native hardwood trees (Ulmus, Acer, Platanus, Fraxinus, Carpinus,
Quercus and others) were left standing to the extent practicable. Some areas were too wet and soft to
effectively bush -hog, and were left as is prior to planting. The contractor planted 14,200 bare -root tree
seedlings of Platanus, Liriodendron, Nyssa, and Quercus within the 31.6 acre buffer restoration areas
using Dibble bars during late February to early March 2014. Planted areas that were not mowed are
dominated by Baccharis, Morella, Rubus, and herbaceous plants, plus scattered Pinus and Liquidambar
saplings. Planted seedlings were mostly 10 to 18 inches tall, with a few seedlings 24 inches or taller,
and average planting density was 449 stems/acre.
The final built project as surveyed in March 2014 includes 31.6 acres of Riparian Buffer Restoration,
which may be applied as either 31.6 Riparian Buffer Mitigation Credits, 31.6 Nitrogen Nutrient Offset
Credits, or a combination of Riparian Buffer and Nitrogen Nutrient Offset Mitigation Credits up to a
total of 31.6 (not on the same footprint) depending on mitigation need as per agreement with DWR
(Table 1). The other 19.1 acres of wetland preservation, 86 acres of non -buffer upland preservation, and

3 -acre conservation easement west of Wyse Fork Rd do not provide any mitigation credits, but will help
improve water quality and habitat along waterways that are not subject to Neuse River Buffer Rules but
may be Section 404 jurisdictional waters (Tables 1 to 4 and Figures I to 1C).
The monitoring contractor (MMI-RJGA) installed 25 permanent CVS vegetation monitoring plots (10 x
10 meter) marked with steel conduit at the corners (including a tall pipe at the (0,0) corner) during
March 11-12, 2014. The side closest to the stream was designated as the x-axis, and a photo of each plot
was taken from the 0,0 corner. For each plot the latitude and longitude coordinates of the 0,0 corner
were recorded with a Trimble sub -meter GPS unit, and the x-axis angle (from 0,0 corner to 10,0 corner)
was recorded with a magnetic compass. The x,y coordinates of each planted tree within the plots was
recorded using meter tapes laid along the plot edges, and survey flagging was tied loosely around each
tree to facilitate subsequent measurements and to distinguish them from volunteer trees.
1.5. Current Conditions (2017) and Performance Summary
The Stallings site was evaluated during October 16-18, 2017, about 44 months after the original planting
in Feb 2014. Native volunteer shrubs and vines, especially Morella, Baccharis, Rubus, Rhus, Vitis,
Smilax, Ampelopsis, and Campsis are continuing to grow vigorously over most of the site, along with a
dense herb layer dominated by Solidago, Eupatorium, Juncus, Scirpus, and grasses overtopping the
planted trees. Larger volunteer Pinus, Platanus, Liquidambar, Acer, Fraxinus, Celtis, and Ulmus
ranging from 4 to 8 inches dbh are common in some areas, especially along ditch banks.
Areas where low planted tree density was reported in 2014 received supplemental planting in February
2015 by Carolina Silvics, the original planting contractor. Approximately 3,800 bare -root seedlings of
Liriodendron, Platanus, Nyssa, Quercus, and Fraxinus were planted on 20 acres, at densities of 109 to
242 trees per acre based on the 2014 CVS plot and warranty plot data (Appendix C, Figure 5). A few of
these 2015 planted trees were found in CVS plots in 2016 and 2017.
A second supplemental planting (6,000 new stems, species TBD) is scheduled for the winter of 2017-
2018; Carolina Silvics staff were cutting transects for replanting with brush -cutters during the period
while MMI staff were collecting this year's CVS plot data. Plots 1 through 14, 16, and 17 had transects
cut through them just prior to MMI sampling in Oct 2017, while plot 15 and plots 18 through 25 had not
yet been cut. Some of the monitored trees in CVS plots had been either cut or crushed under the cut
shrub debris, but these losses will be offset by replanting in a few months. The new cut lines also
exposed some very small planted stems that had been missed during previous sampling years.
Nine of the 25 permanent CVS plots in 2017 had eight or more living planted trees, and met the 320
stems/acre success criterion (Tables 6 -7). Another 10 CVS plots had seven or fewer living planted
stems and failed to meet the criterion, but exceeded 320 stems/acre based on total planted plus volunteer
native hardwood trees, including Platanus, Liquidambar, Diospyros, Pinus, Prunus, Acer, Salix, Ulmus,
and Fraxinus. While Pinus are typically not counted toward success, we include them here since Pine
Flatwoods was presumably the native forest community on much of this site based on soils (Schafale &
Weakley, 1990). The eight plots containing volunteer Pinus had 1 to 3 Pinus stems, comprising 7% to
22% of the trees counted in those plots. The remaining 6 plots failed to meet 320 stems/acre based on
the total planted plus volunteer native trees; 4 of these 6 failing plots were in the recently -cut areas. The
Stallings Buffer Restoration Site DMS #357 MY -4 (2017) Annual Monitoring Report
Jones County — Neuse HUC 03020204 Mogensen Mitigation Inc. MMI
Page 6

average density of surviving planted stems for all 25 plots in 2017 was 6.5 trees per plot (264 trees per
acre), slightly less than the 2016 average (269 trees per acre). With native volunteer trees added, the
average density for all plots is 408 trees per acre. Native volunteer shrubs Morella, Baccharis, Rhus and
Rubus.are also abundant in all plots, but were not counted.
Much of the planted area beyond the CVS plots also exhibited low density and vigor of planted trees in
2017, due to competition from dense shrubs and/or recent cutting or crushing of small trees during the
contractor's site preparation for supplemental planting this winter. Since many planted stems were
recently cut (and may resprout next year), and the site will be replanted soon, it was not feasible or
necessary to map low stem density areas beyond the CVS plots this year (Figure 2 and Table 5). Areas
of low stem density and low vigor will be mapped and quantified in the MY5 (2018) monitoring report.
Invasive exotic plants (Ligustrum, Lonicera, Rosa, Lespedeza, Pyrus, Triadica) occur as individuals or
small patches at many scattered locations throughout the project site. However, invasives no longer
appear to be threatening planted stem survival, since native shrubs, trees and vines have now overtopped
most of the invasives. A few mature trees of Pyrus and Triadica were noted on the southeastern portion
of the project, but few seedlings from these trees were observed, suggesting that they are not currently
spreading. Patches of invasive Lespedeza cuneata mapped in 2015 on the eastern portion of the site are
continuing to decline due to overtopping by dense native shrubs and vines. No invasive vegetation
problem areas were mapped in 2017 (Figure 2.1-2.2).
In 2016 we reported mowing of ditch -bank vegetation (presumably by NCDOT) extending into the
conservation easement along Webb Farm Rd and Wyse Fork Rd. Subsequent mowing in 2017 appears
to be confined to the road side of the ditches, as appropriate. No new encroachment or damage from
vehicles or livestock was observed, other than the paths cut by Carolina Silvics for supplemental
planting this coming winter. "Conservation Area" signs posted along roadsides are intact, although
some are now obscured from view by shrubs and vine growth. There is no fencing around the project
site.
2.0. Monitoring Methods
Baseline Monitoring and Annual Monitoring and reporting methods follow the current DMS -provided
templates and guidelines (Lee et al 2008; NC-EEP 2012). The 25 permanent CVS vegetation plots (10 x
10 meters) are evaluated and photographed during late Summer or Fall each year from 2014 through
2018. For planted trees, the species, height, dbh, and qualitative vigor rating of each tree is recorded
(CVS Level 1 data). For volunteer trees and shrubs, the numbers of stems of each species within each
height category is recorded (CVS Level 2 data). Planted and volunteer woody species are identified
using Radford et al. (1968) and Weakley (2012).
For the first three years (2014 through 2016) an additional 25 temporary vegetation warranty plots (100
m2 each) scattered throughout the replanted buffer areas were evaluated. Square warranty plots (10 x 10
m) were used in 2014, and strip plots (33.3 x 3 m) used in 2015 and 2016, with locations varying from
year to year to maximize the cumulative sampling area covered. These plots record the total number of
surviving planted tree species only; species and size data are not be recorded.

The Stallings site does not have a perimiter fence, but the contractor checks the condition of
conservation signage along the adjacent public roads, and looks for evidence of encroachment by off-
road vehicles, livestock, or other potential sources of damage. Areas of invasive exotic vegetation in the
planted areas are mapped in accordance with current DMS guidance. No hydrologic or geomorphic
monitoring is included in the Stallings project monitoring scope.

Problem areas are based on field observations in October 2017, 44 months after initial tree planting.
Competition from tall Grasses, Solidago, Eupatorium, Rubus, Baccharis, Morella, and other dense native plants may be limiting planted tree survival and growth.
Easement (Mitigation Assets) acreage = 31.6 acres planted + 19.1 acres preserved riparian buffers = 50.7 acres. Total conservation parcel acreage = 146 acres.
*** Many small planted trees were recently cut or crushed in Oct 2017 during cutting of transects for replanting this winter. Consequently, the majority of the planted
area currently has low planted stem density and/or low vigor. Since the site will be replanted soon, it was not feasible or necessary to map and measure low density areas
beyond the CVS plots this year. Areas of low stem density and low vigor will be mapped and quantified in the MY5 (2018) monitoring report.
