Subject: Task 11: Response Letter to DMS review comments regarding the Draft Year 5 Monitoring
Report for the UT to Mill Swamp Restoration Project (#95019)
White Oak River Basin — CU#03030001, Onslow County, North Carolina
DEQ Contract No. 003992, Baker No. 124578
Dear Mr. Schaffer,
Please find enclosed three hardcopies of the Final Year 5 Monitoring Report and our responses to your
review comments received on December 19, 2018 regarding the UT to Mill Swamp Restoration Project
located in Onslow County, NC. As requested, we have also provided a CD containing a pdf version of the
final report along with the revised GIS shapefiles in response to the review comments below:
Digital drawings:
a. Digital files for each asset listed in Table 1 were not formatted or attributed as required in the
EEP/DMS digital drawing guidance. The stream centerlines for example were submitted as a
highly segmented polyline and were devoid of attributes such as reach ID and linear footage.
DMS would prefer to receive shapefiles for all of the features in the digital drawings
requirements, but at a minimum, each asset (as listed in table 1 of the monitoring report) and
each monitoring feature must be provided as a discreet, properly attributed polyline/polygon as
required by contract and stated in table 2 of DMS's Format, Data Requirements, and Content
Guidance for Electronic Drawings Submitted to EEP version 1.0 (03/27/08).
Response: For the draft e -submittal, older shapefiles were erroneously included. The revised
shapefiles (made last year from similar DMS comments) are included with the final e -submittal
with our apologies for the confusion.
b. During the review, DMS received a pop-up warning that the spatial reference is missing for
the As- Built_ Streams_UTMillSwamp, Crossings_UTMillSwamp,
F1owGauges_UTMillSwamp, TopOfBank_UTMillSwamp, UTMillSwamp_CrestGauge
shapefiles.
Response: As stated above, older shapefiles were erroneously included the draft e -submission
and have been replaced with the revised shapefiles in the final e -submission with our apologies
for the confusion.
2. Cover Page: Change the word "Permits:" to USACE Action ID.
Response: Change made as advised.
Innovation Done Right ... We Make a Difference
3. Section 1:
a. Page 3, paragraph 7: the report states that gauge MSAWIO "unexpectedly and permanently
failed during the summer of 2018." Please address if this gauge is to be replaced and if not,
explain why.
Response: Wetland gauge MSAWIO has never passed the hydrology success criteria of
consecutive days within 12" of ground surface for 12% of the growing season in any
monitoring year, with 0.0%, 0.6%,5.3%,2.l%,4.9%, and now 5.3%. Given that this was
one of the wetter years on record and it still failed to meet success criteria, it seems highly
unlikely that it ever will. As such, it will not be replaced. The report has been amended to
offer more explanation about this well.
b. Page 3, paragraph 8: the report states that "Flow gauge MSFL2 (on lower UTlb) permanently
failed during the winter of 2017/2018 and was not replaced as it had already met the required
project success criteria in each previous monitoring year." Please address if this gauge is to be
replaced and if not, explain why.
Response: We do not intend to replace flow gauge MSFL2 at this stage of the project. The
mitigation plan states that the success criteria for this reach (UTIb) is the documentation of two
separate flow events within a 5 -year monitoring period consisting of a minimum of 30
consecutive days each. Gauge MSFL2 has easily passed each previous monitoring year with
consecutive flow lengths of 35, 131, 152, 105, and 164 days, along with cumulative yearly flow
totals of 79, 327, 186, 231, and 243 days (see Table 13). Thus, this gauge has already
significantly exceeded the required success criteria. Also consider that this reach does have a
second flow gauge installed within the upper section which has also already met the success
criteria five consecutive times and will continue to record now data for the reach for the
remaining two years of project monitoring. The report has been amended to offer more
explanation about this gauge.
4. Section 2.2.2: Even though the groundwater gauges are discussed in this section, explain why there
is no section to specifically discuss the wetland assessment. Section 2.2.2 appears as if it should be
more associated with the stream portion of this project.
Response: A new Section 2.3 (Wetlands Assessment) was added to methodology portion of report
as a location for the wetlands -specific discussion.
Appendix D, Table 11: During our review of the Bank Height Ratios (BHR) in Table 11, DMS staff
performs a visual comparison of the MY5 data to As-Built/Baseline cross-sections. DMS
noted/realized that by displaying the As -built Bankfull Cross -Sectional Area alone, the calculation for
the BHR can be difficult to reconcile. We noted possible discrepancies in the BHR calculations for
cross-sections 1 and 5 given this disconnect. Using the new BHR calculation methodology where the
As -Built Bankfull Area is held constant, please display the Year 5 bankfull elevation as another data
series just for the sake of clarity between the BHR calculation and the overlay. It appears that the
BHR calculations were done correctly, but just please add the MY5 bankfull data series with its
elevation for the sake of clarity to the reader.
Response: An additional data series was added to each cross-section figure showing the MY5
bankfull line (generated using the as -built bankfull area as per the recent DMS memo) as requested.
The BHR calculations for the listed cross-sections were re -checked again and were all confirmed as
correct. With the new bankfull line shown, a visual comparison between it and the MY5 cross-
section data certainly makes the BHR value appear to make intuitive sense.

UT TO MILL SWAMP RESTORATION PROJECT, NCDMS PROJECT NUMBER - 95019
MONITORING YEAR 5 OF 7 (2018)
1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Michael Baker Engineering (Baker) restored 3,606 linear feet of perennial stream, 6.62 acres of riparian
wetlands, and enhanced 600 linear feet of stream along an unnamed tributary (UT) to Mill Swamp in Onslow
County, North Carolina (NC), (Appendix A). The total planted acreage was approximately 15.2 acres, and the
permanent conservation easement is 19.6 acres. The UT to Mill Swamp Restoration Project (Site) is located in
Onslow County, approximately three miles northwest of the Town of Richlands. The Site is located in the NC
Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) sub -basin 03-05-02 and the NCDEQ Division of Mitigation Services
(NCDMS) Targeted Local Watershed (TLW) 03030001-010020 of the White Oak River Basin. The project
involved the restoration and enhancement of a Coastal Plain Headwater Small Stream Swamp system (Schafale
and Weakley 1990) from impairments within the project area due to past agricultural conversion, cattle grazing,
and draining of floodplain wetlands by ditching activities.
The project goals directly addressed stressors identified in the White Oak River Basin Restoration Priorities or
RBRP (NCDMS 2010) such as degraded riparian conditions, channel modification, and excess sediment and
nutrient inputs. The primary restoration goals, as outlined in the approved mitigation plan, are described below:
• Create geomorphically stable conditions along the unnamed tributaries across the Site,
• Implement agricultural Best Management Practices (BMPs) to reduce nonpoint source inputs to
receiving waters,
• Protect and improve water quality by reducing bank erosion, nutrient and sediment inputs,
• Restore stream and wetland hydrology by connecting historic flow paths and promoting natural flood
processes, and
• Restore and protect riparian buffer functions and corridor habitat in perpetuity by establishing a
permanent conservation easement.
To accomplish these goals, the following objectives were identified:
• Restore existing incised, eroding, and channelized streams by providing access to their historic
floodplains,
• Prevent cattle from accessing the riparian buffer, reducing excessive bank erosion,
• Increase aquatic habitat value by providing more bedform diversity, creating natural scour pools and
reducing sediment from accelerated bank erosion,
• Plant native species riparian buffer vegetation along stream bank and floodplain areas, protected by a
permanent conservation easement, to increase stormwater runoff filtering capacity, improve bank
stability, and shade the stream to decrease water temperature,
• Improve aquatic and terrestrial habitat through improved substrate and in -stream cover, addition of
woody debris, and reduction of water temperature, and
• Control invasive species vegetation within the project area and if necessary, continue treatments during
the monitoring period.
The project as -built condition closely mimics that proposed by the design. Differences are outlined below:

MONITORING YEAR 5 OF 7 (2018)
• The Stream and Wetland Mitigation Plan (Mitigation Plan) specified the planting of riparian live stakes
during construction; however, due to construction being completed during the growing season in May
2013 no live stakes were installed. During construction, it was determined that live stakes would be
installed during the dormant season. It is noted that as of March 27, 2014, approximately 300 live
stakes were installed along the stream banks in the restored single thread channel of the UT 1 c area.
• Permanent fencing along Reach UT3 was originally proposed 50 feet from both of the streambanks
outside of the conservation easement; however, the landowner decided to use the northern pasture for
hay production only, so fencing was installed only on the southern side of the reach to exclude cattle.
Special Notes:
In consideration of this report, the following timeline should be noted:
Completion of construction — 5/31/13
Completion of installation of tree and shrub bare roots — 6/13/13
Year 1 (2013) vegetation monitoring —10/16/13
Live stake installation - 3/27/14
Year 1 (2013) supplemental vegetation monitoring — 5/18/14
Supplemental Year 1 (5/18/14) vegetation monitoring was conducted in order to provide additional
mortality data. This additional monitoring effort was done since the time that had elapsed between the
installation of the tree and shrub bare roots (6/13/13) and Year 1 vegetation monitoring (10/16/13) was
only 125 days of the growing season (March 18th through November 16th). Trees and shrubs grew for an
additional 61 days of growing season from 3/18/14 through 5/18/14 in early 2014 and were
supplementally monitored. A total of 186 days of growing season had elapsed since the trees were planted
and the supplemental Year 1 vegetation monitoring was conducted. An additional 181 days within the
growing season (5/19/14 through 11/16/14) had elapsed prior to Year 2 (2014) vegetation monitoring,
providing the required minimum of 180 days of growing season growth as stated in the approved
Mitigation Plan. As such, Baker considered the data collected on 12/19/14 to be Year 2 data and the data
collected on 11/13/15 to be Year 3 data. However, the US Army Corps of Engineers has declined to
release the credits generated from Year 2 (2014) citing too short of a period between plant installation
and monitoring. As such, the 2015 monitoring report was considered Year 2. All references to Year 2
henceforth will indicate monitoring activities conducted during 2015. Data collected during 2014 that
was previously considered monitoring Year 2 will be labeled as Year 2*.
Year 2* (2014) vegetation monitoring — 12/19/14
Year 2 (2015) vegetation monitoring — 11/13/15
Year 3 (2016) vegetation monitoring — November, 2016
Supplemental 3 -foot bare roots installed in the area around Vegetation Plot 3 only — March 20, 2017
Year 4 (2017) vegetation assessment was conducted in October of 2017, but no formal monitoring plot
data is required to be collected as part of Year 4 monitoring effort.
Year 5 (2018) vegetation monitoring — 10/30/18

UT TO MILL SWAMP RESTORATION PROJECT, NCDMS PROJECT NUMBER - 95019
MONITORING YEAR 5 OF 7 (2018)
The Year 5 monitoring survey data of the eight permanent cross-sections indicate that the Site is geomorphically
stable and performing at 100 percent for the all parameters evaluated. The data collected are within the
lateral/vertical stability and in-stream structure performance categories. There are no Stream Problem Areas
(SPA) to report.
During Year 5 monitoring, the planted acreage performance categories were functioning at 100 percent with no
bare areas to report, no current low stem density areas, and no areas of poor growth rates. The average density
of total planted stems, based on the data collected from the six monitoring plots in October 2018 was 459
stems/acre. Thus, the Year 5 vegetation data demonstrates that the Site has met the minimum success interim
criteria of 260 stems/acre by the end of Year 5.
Previously during Year 4 monitoring, the area around Veg Plot 3 totaling approximately 0.20 acres was
supplementally planted in March of 2017 with additional stems of bald cypress (Taxodium distichum) from bare
root, and water tupelo (Nyssa aquatica) planted from tubelings. This area was inspected again in October of
2018 and the stems appear to be alive and doing well, with numerous healthy-looking stems readily identifiable.
Invasive species areas of concern were observed and documented during Year 5 monitoring. One area of
Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) re-sprouts totaling 0.53 acres was discovered along the left floodplain of
the middle section of Reach UTIc. This area is identified as a Vegetation Problem Area (VPA) and will be
treated in Monitoring Year 6. These resprouts overlap with a 0.55 acre area that had previously been treated
for privet in February of 2018. The CCPV found in Appendix B shows the locations of each of these areas.
Additionally, scattered loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) and sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) saplings were
observed growing in the floodplain of UTlc and lower UTlb. They were subsequently heavily thinned during
Monitoring Year 5.
At this time, no other areas of concern regarding the Site vegetation were observed along UT 1 a, UTlb or UT 1 c.
The complete Year 5 vegetation assessment information and photographs are provided in Appendix B and C.
During Year 5 monitoring, groundwater monitoring demonstrated that fifteen of the sixteen groundwater
monitoring wells located along Reach UTIc met the wetland success criteria as stated in the Site Mitigation
Plan. The gauges that met success criteria demonstrated consecutive hydroperiods of 12% or greater, ranging
from 12.3 to 100% of the growing season (see Figure 4 and Table 12 in Appendix E). The one gauge that did
not meet success criteria with only 5.3% was MSAW 10, which unexpectedly and permanently failed during the
summer of 2018. Gauge MSAW 10 has never passed the hydroperiod success criteria of consecutive days within
12" of ground surface for 12% of the growing season in any monitoring year, with 0.0%, 0.6%, 5.3%, 2.1%,
4.9%, and now 5.3%. Given that this was one of the wetter years on record and it still failed to meet success
criteria during the typical early-spring timeframe, it seems highly unlikely that it ever will. As such, it will not
be replaced.
Additionally, during an IRT field visit on 5/1/18, it was suggested that wells MSAW3 and MSAW7 could be
relocated to better help confirm restored wetland areas elsewhere in the floodplain. These wells had previously
been located either directly on the wetland boundary, or outside it in the adjacent uplands, and it was felt they
would be more useful collecting data in other, more relevant areas. As such, in June 2018 these two wells were
relocated to the suggested areas as shown in the CCPV found in Appendix B. Graphs for all the groundwater
data collected from each well during Year 5 monitoring are located in Appendix E.
Year 5 flow monitoring on Reach UTIb demonstrated that flow gauge MSFL1 (on upper UTIb) met the stated
success criteria of 30 days or more of consecutive flow through upper UTlb with 65 days of consecutive flow
and 247 days of total cumulative flow. The gauge demonstrated similar patterns relative to rainfall events
observed in the vicinity of the Site. Flow gauge MSFL2 (on lower UT lb) unexpectedly and permanently failed
during the winter of 2017/2018. It will not be replaced as it had already met the required project success criteria

UT TO MILL SWAMP RESTORATION PROJECT, NCDMS PROJECT NUMBER - 95019
MONITORING YEAR 5 OF 7 (2018)
in each previous monitoring year with consecutive flow lengths of 35, 131, 152, 105, and 164 days, along with
cumulative yearly flow totals of 79, 327, 186, 231, and 243 days (see Table 13). Thus, this gauge has already
significantly exceeded the required success criteria of documenting two separate flow events within the project
monitoring period. Flow data for this reach will continue to be collected for the remaining two project
monitoring years from gauge MSFL1 alone. Flow data collected during Year 5 monitoring are located in
Appendix E.
The Site was also found to have had at least two above-bankfull events based on the crest gauge readings during
Year 5 monitoring. The highest recorded reading was measured to be 3.41 feet and was associated with
Hurricane Florence on September 15, 2018. Crest gauge reading data are presented in Appendix E and gauge
photographs are presented in Appendix B.
Summary information/data related to the Site and statistics related to performance of various project and
monitoring elements can be found in the tables and figures in the report Appendices. Narrative background and
supporting information formerly found in these reports can be found in the Baseline Monitoring Report and in
the Mitigation Plan available on the North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services (NCDMS) website. All
raw data supporting the tables and figures in the appendices is available from NCDMS upon request.
2.0 METHODOLOGY
The seven-year monitoring plan for the Site includes criteria to evaluate the success of the stream, wetland, and
vegetation components of the project. The methodology and report template used to evaluate these components
adheres to the NCDMS Monitoring Requirements and Performance Standards for Stream and/or Wetland
Mitigation guidance document dated November 7, 2011 (NCDMS 2011), which will continue to serve as the
template for subsequent monitoring years. The specific locations of monitoring features: vegetation plots,
permanent cross-sections, monitoring wells, flow gauges, and the crest gauge, are shown on the CCPV sheets
found in Appendix B.
The Year 5 vegetation plot data and all visual site assessment data were collected in October 2018. The cross-
section survey data were collected in November 2018, while the final monitoring gauge data were collected in
December 2018.
2.1 Stream Assessment — Reach UTla & UTlb
The UTla and UTlb mitigation approach involved the restoration of historic flow patterns and flooding
functions in a multi -thread headwater stream system. Monitoring efforts focus on visual observations to
document stability, the use of water level monitoring gauges to document both groundwater and flooding
functions.
2.1.1 Hydrology
Two automated groundwater well gauges (pressure transducers) are installed along well transects, with
a total of four well transects installed in the UT 1 a and UT lb areas. The automated loggers are
programmed to collect data at 6 -hour intervals to record groundwater levels in UTla and UTlb areas.
Graphs of the groundwater data collected for these gauges during Year 5 monitoring are located in
Appendix E.
Additionally, two in -stream flow gauges (pressure transducers) were installed to document the
occurrence of extended periods of shallow surface ponding, indicative of flow. The gauges attempt to
MICHAEL BAKER ENGINEERING, INC.
UT TO MILL SWAMP RESTORATION PROJECT, NCDMS PROJECT NUMBER - 95019
MONITORING YEAR 5 OF 7 (2018)
document flooding connectivity between the restored UTla and UTlb reaches for at least 30
consecutive days under normal climatic conditions. Flow gauge MSFL1 (on UTIa) met this success
criteria with 65 consecutive days of recorded flow, and a cumulative total of 247 days of flow. The
gauge demonstrated similar patterns relative to rainfall events observed in the vicinity of the Site. Flow
gauge MSFL2 (on UTlb) permanently failed during the winter of 2017/2018 and was not replaced as
it had already met the required project success criteria in each previous monitoring year. Flow data
collected during Year 5 monitoring are located in Appendix E.
2.1.2 Photographic Documentation
The headwater stream reaches were photographed longitudinally beginning at the downstream portion
of the Site and moving towards the upstream end of the Site. Photographs were taken looking upstream
at delineated locations throughout the restored stream valley. The photograph points were established
close enough together to provide an overall view of the reach lengths and valley crenulations. The
angle of the photo depends on what angle provides the best view and was noted and continued in future
photos. Site photographs for UTla and UTlb were taken at established photo -point stations and can
be found in Appendix B.
2.2 Stream Assessment — Reach UT1c
The UTIc mitigation approach involved the restoration of historic flow patterns and flooding functions in a
single -thread headwater stream system. Monitoring efforts focus on visual observations, the use of groundwater
level monitoring gauges, a crest gauge to document bankfull flooding events, and established stream cross-
sections to monitor channel stability.
Stream survey data is collected to a minimum of Class C Vertical and Class A Horizontal Accuracy using Leica
TSO6 Total Station and was georeferenced to the NAD83 State Plane Coordinate System, FIPS3200 in US
Survey Feet, which was derived from the As -built Survey. This survey system collects point data with an
accuracy of less than one tenth of a foot.
2.2.1 Morphologic Parameters and Channel Stability
A longitudinal profile was surveyed for the entire length of channel immediately after construction to
document as -built baseline monitoring conditions (Year 0) only. The survey was tied to a permanent
benchmark and measurements included thalweg, water surface, bankfull, and top of low bank. Each of
these measurements was taken at the head of each feature (e.g., riffle, pool) and at the maximum pool
depth. Yearly longitudinal profiles will not be conducted during subsequent monitoring years unless
channel instability has been documented or remedial actions/repairs are required by the USACE or
NCDMS.
Survey data from the eight permanent project cross-sections were collected and classified using the
Rosgen Stream Classification System, and all monitored cross-sections fall within the quantitative
parameters defined for channels of the design stream type (Rosgen 1994). The Year 5 monitoring
survey data for the cross-sections indicates that the Site is geomorphically stable and performing at 100
percent for all the parameters evaluated. The data collected are within the lateral/vertical stability and
in -stream structure performance categories. Morphological survey data are presented in Appendix D.
Please note, as per NCDMS/IRT request the bank height ratios for MY5 have been calculated using the
as -built bankfull area to determine low bank height and the max depth based on the current -year channel
profile. All other values were calculated using the as -built bankfull elevation, as was done for all
previous monitoring reports.

MONITORING YEAR 5 OF 7 (2018)
2.2.2 Hydrology
One crest gauge was installed on the floodplain at the bankfull elevation along the left top of bank on
UTlc approximately at Station 45+50. In MY5, two above-bankfull events associated with storm
events were documented by the crest gauge. The highest recorded reading was measured to be 3.41
feet and was associated with Hurricane Florence on September 15, 2018. Crest gauge reading data are
presented in Appendix E and gauge photographs are presented in Appendix B.
2.2.3 Photographic Documentation
Representative project photographs for MY5 for Reach UTIc were taken at the previously established
photo -point stations located along the enhanced and restored stream sections of UT 1 c and are presented
in Appendix B. Additionally, reference photograph transects were taken at each permanent cross-
section in November of 2018. The survey tape was centered in the photographs of the bank. The water
line was located in the lower edge of the frame, and as much of the bank as possible is included in each
photograph.
2.2.4 Visual Stream Morphological Stability Assessment
The visual stream morphological stability assessment involves the qualitative evaluation of lateral and
vertical channel stability, and the integrity and overall performance of in -stream structures throughout
the Project reach as a whole. Habitat parameters and pool depth maintenance are also evaluated.
During Year 5 monitoring, the entire project reach was walked, noting geomorphic conditions of the
stream bed profile (riffle/pool facets); both stream banks, and engineered in -stream structures. All
stream reaches appear stable and functioning. All stream beds are vertically stable, the pools are
maintaining depth, stream banks are stable and vegetating, and in -stream structures are physically intact
and performing as designed. No Stream Problem Areas (SPAS) were documented during Year 5
monitoring. A more detailed summary of the methodology and results for the visual stream stability
assessment can be found in Appendix B, which includes supporting data tables.
2.3 Wetland Assessment
Following construction, ten automated groundwater monitoring wells were installed in the UT 1 c
wetland restoration area following USACE protocols (USACE 2005). The gauges themselves are all
In -Situ brand Rugged Troll 100 data loggers. An additional six monitoring wells were installed in the
spring of 2016 in the left floodplain of UTIc for a more detailed evaluation there. During an IRT site
visit on 5/1/18, it was suggested that two of the wells (MSAW3 and MSAW7) originally located on, or
just outside, the wetland boundary line be relocated to help confirm restored wetland areas elsewhere
in the floodplain. As such, in June 2018 those two wells were relocated to the suggested areas as shown
in the CCPV found in Appendix B. Also during Year 5 monitoring, the gauge at well MSAW 10
unexpectedly and permanently failed in the summer of 2018. Given that it has never once passed the
success criteria hydroperiod requirement, it will not be replaced at this stage of the project. Graphs of
the groundwater data collected from each well during Year 5 monitoring are found in Appendix E.
During Year 5 monitoring, groundwater monitoring demonstrated that fifteen of the sixteen
groundwater monitoring wells located along Reach UTIc met the wetland success criteria as stated in
the Site Mitigation Plan. The gauges that met success criteria demonstrated consecutive hydroperiods
of 12% or greater, ranging from 12.3 to 100% of the growing season (see Table 12 in Appendix E).

for the previous 12 -month period from December 2017 through November 2018 was 74.2 inches. The
WETS table for Hoffman Forest station (NC4144) in Onslow County was used to calculate the 30 -year

average for that same 12 -month period and documents an average of 56.5 inches of rainfall, with an
historic 30% probable of 51.9 inches and an historic 70% probable of 60.5 inches. Thus, the site appears
to have an exceeded the 70% probable by 13.7 inches. However, much of that additional rainfall came
in September 2018, and in particular from Hurricane Florence, which dropped approximately 13 inches
of rainfall on the site on September 15th alone. The remainder of the fall of 2018 has been fairly dry,
with monthly rainfall totals below their historic 30% probables in October and November.
2.4 Vegetation Assessment
In order to determine if success criteria are achieved, vegetation -monitoring quadrants were installed and are
monitored annually across the Site in accordance with the CVS-NCDMS Protocol for Recording Vegetation,
Version 4.1 (Lee 2007) using the CVS -DMS Data Entry Tool v. 2.3.1 (CVS 2012). The vegetation monitoring
plots are a minimum of two percent of the planted portion of the Site, with six plots established randomly within
the planted UTla, UTlb and UTlc riparian buffer areas per Monitoring Levels 1 and 2. No monitoring
quadrants were established within the undisturbed wooded areas of UTIa and UTlb. The sizes of individual
quadrants are 100 square meters for woody tree species.
During Year 5 monitoring, the planted acreage performance categories were functioning well with no bare areas
to report. The average density of total planted stems, based on the data collected from the six monitoring plots
in October 2018 was 459 stems/acre. Thus, the Year 5 vegetation data demonstrates that the Site has met the
minimum success interim criteria of 260 stems/acre by the end of Year 5.

Appendix A
Project Vicinity Map and Background Tables
The subject project site is an environmental restoration site of the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) and is encompassed
by a recorded conservation easement, but is bordered by land under private ownership. Accessing the site may require traversing areas near or along the easement boundary
and therefore access by the general public is not permitted. Access by authorized personnel of state and federal agencies or their designees/contractors involved in the
development, oversight and stewardship of the restoration site is permitted within the terms and timeframes of their defined roles. Any intended site visitation or activity by any
person outside of these previously sanctioned roles and activities requires prior coordination with DMS.
�
Site Directions
To access the site from Raleigh, follow Interstate 40
southeast and take the NC Highway 24 Exit East/NC
Highway 903 North, Exit 373 toward Kenansville and
Magnolia. From Exit 373, continue on the Kenansville
Bypass for 6 miles before turning right onto NC
Highway 24 East. After turning right onto NC Highway
24 (Beulaville Highway), continue for 23 miles before
turning left onto US Highway 258 (Kinston Highway).
Once on US Highway 258, travel for approximately 1.2
miles before turning right onto Warren Taylor Road.
Then proceed 0.5 miles and turn left while heading
north through a large field. The site is located where
the farm road intersects UT to Mill Swamp at a
downstream culvert crossing.

As such, this report (20 17) will be considered Year 4. All references to Year 4 included in this report will indicate monitoring activities conducted during 2017. Data collected during 2014 that
was previously considered monitoring Year 2 is labeled as Year 2*
1 UT to Mill Swamp Restoration Site does not require Year 4 and 6 monitoring cross-sectional surveys per Site Mitigation Plan
Note: Per DMS/lRT request, bank height ratio for MY5 has been calculated using the as -built bankfull area. All other values were calculated using the as -built bankfull elevation, as was done for previous monitoring reports.

4Well MSAW 10 unexpectedly and permanently failed in the summer of 2018.
t Wells MSAW3 and MSAW7 were relocated on 6/7/18 as per IRT suggestion during a field visit on 5/1/18. See CCPV in Appendix B for new and previous locations.
The growing season for Onslow County is from March 18 to November 16 and is 244 days long. 12% of the growing season is 29 days.
HIGHLIGHTED indicates wells that did not to meet the success criteria for the most consecutive number of days within the monitored growing season s or less from the soil surface. Following Year 5 wetland monitoring, only one of sixteen wells did not exhibit hyrdroperiods greater than 12% during
2018 growing season. That well is MSAW 10 and it permanently failed in the summer of 2018.

**To gather additional well data in the UTIc restoration area, In-Situ groundwater monitoring dataloggers AW19 -AW23 were installed on 2/26/2016, AW24 was installed on 3/10/2016. The installation of the additional dataloggers was completed during the 2016 spring wet season when groundwater levels were normally closer to
the ground surface.

Notes
'hidicates the single greatest number of consecutive days within the monitoring year where flow was measured.
2Indicates the total number of days within the monitoring year where flow was measured.
3The pressure transducer for MSFL2 permanently failed over the winter of 2017/2018 and was not replaced as it had already met the required project success criteria in each previous year.
Success Criteria per UT to Mill Swamp Mitigation Plan: A surface water flow event will be considered perennial when the recorded flow duration occurs for a minimum of 30 consecutive days during the
monitoring year. Two surface water flow events must be documented within a five-year monitoring period; otherwise, monitoring will continue for seven years or until two flow events have been documented in
separate years.
Surface water flow is estimated to have occurred when the pressure transducer reading is equal to or above 0.1 feet in depth.
