Fifth Annual and Summary Report March 2019
1.0 PROJECT OVERVIEW
1.1 History. The approximately 3,667 -acre P and U Lands restoration site is part of
the PCS Phosphate Company Inc.'s (PCS) compensatory mitigation to offset unavoidable
impacts to wetlands and waters authorized under United States Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) Action ID: 200110096 and North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Water
Quality Certification (WQC) #2008-0868 version 2.0. As described in the mitigation plan prepared
for the pre -construction notification (PCN) to the USACE (CZR 2012), the site was planned to be
constructed in three phases as shown on Figure 1 of the plan. This report concerns fifth annual
monitoring of the 1,755 acres of Phase 3 conducted by CZR Incorporated (CZR) of Wilmington,
NC. (The P and U designation have no special meaning other than that was the historic label
given to PCS and Weyerhaeuser properties with similar ownership agreements.)
The design team consisted of Jonathan T. Ricketts, Inc. of Palm Beach Gardens, FL, the
restoration design engineer, PCS, and CZR. Earthwork was performed by Sawyer's Land
Developing, Inc. out of Belhaven, NC and supervised by the design team. Boundary and other
survey work were performed by Matrix East PLLC out of Kinston, NC. Phase 1 and 2 restoration
activities occurred September 2011 -March 2013. Phase 3 construction began in Gum Swamp
Run on 9 May 2012 and on 22 June 2012 on the larger Phase 3 area. Phase 3 was constructed
with a total of 14 NC Division of Land Resources (DLR) Erosion and Sediment Control permits for
land clearing which were subsequently modified for the construction of the interior ditch plugs and
perimeter berms and ditches. Planting of Phase 3 occurred February 2014.
The P and U Lands site is a key component linking PCS's Parker Farm Mitigation Site,
Bay City Farm Mitigation Site, Gum Run Mitigation Site, and the South Creek Corridor into a large
and varied collection of restored wetland and preserved natural areas (South Creek Corridor
Complex). Restoration of the headwaters and upper valley of historic Gum Swamp Run, a
tributary to South Creek, is one of the goals of Phase 3. Unlike most other PCS mitigation sites,
the P and U Lands are not prior -converted agricultural fields. Other than the existing roads, most
of the acreage in which earthwork occurred was in some stage of silviculture, usually various -
aged pine stands, and contained regularly spaced ditches (deeper than the agricultural ditches on
other restoration sites that were filled in as part of restoration work) and the bedding common to
pine plantations. The removal of all standing timber and stumps and post-harvest debris
presented particular challenges as the organic soils precluded safe burning of the timber slash on
site. Consequently, some of the debris was piled into somewhat evenly shaped and sized
mounds throughout the site which provide additional wildlife habitat.
1.2 Location. The P and U Lands site is located east and west of Bay City Road
(SR1002), approximately 4.5 miles southeast of Aurora, Richland Township, North Carolina. Bay
City Road runs through the P Lands portion of the site, which is bounded on the east by SR 1918
(Peele Road is the unpaved extension of SR 1918) and on the south by "County Line Road" (a
gated gravel road along the Beaufort/Pamlico County border). The U Lands portion of the site
lies west and southwest of Bay City Farm (the western portion of the P Lands site referred to as
the "panhandle" separates Bay City Farm from the U Lands). South Creek and the South Creek
Canal form the northern and northwestern boundaries, Bonner/Rodman Road forms the western
boundary, and the Pamlico/Beaufort County line forms the southern boundary of the U Lands
(County Line Road itself is the southern boundary of only the eastern half of the U Lands as the
western limit of County Line Road terminates at the midpoint of the south property line). The
entire site is accessed via multiple gated roads along Bay City Road, Peele Road, County Line
Road, and/or Jaime/Executive Road. The site is located within the Pamlico Hydrologic Unit
03020104 of the Tar -Pamlico River basin within the South Creek subbasin at latitude 35.233831
and longitude 76.775742. Portions of the site can be found on the USGS Aurora, Bayboro, South
Creek, and Vandemere quadrangles (Figures 1 and 2).

Fifth Annual and Summary Report March 2019
1.3 Goals and Performance Criteria. The primary goal of the entire project was to re-
establish a self-sustaining functional wetland and coastal plain headwater stream valley complex
to allow surface flow to move through vegetated wetlands before reaching any stream. It is
important to note that restoration of the upper valley low-energy portion of Gum Swamp Run was
among the first large scale headwater stream valley restoration projects constructed in the
coastal plain to deviate from the normal design and construction parameters of pattern, profile,
and dimension common to stream restoration projects constructed in landscapes with higher
slopes. Mitigation yields are estimated and performance criteria are described for the project in
detail in the Compensatory Mitigation Plan for P and U Lands Restoration Site (CZR 2012).
Performance criteria for Phase 3 are summarized in Table 1. Over time the 1,755 -acre Phase 3
portion of the site was expected to successfully re-establish approximately:
19 acres of riverine swamp forest (erroneously omitted in previous reports),
150 wetland acres of headwater forest,
580 wetland acres of non-riverine swamp forest,
479 acres of pond -pine pocosin forest,
96 wetland acres of hardwood flat forest,
30 acres of Tar -Pamlico riparian buffer of Gum Swamp
12 acres of existing non -wetland forest (at upper end of Gum Swamp Run),
9 wetland acres of non-specific forest,
4 acres (7,141 linear feet) of zero and first order stream including a low energy
headwater stream valley (Gum Swamp Run), and
33 acres of open water (plugged or unplugged ditches).
The work was also expected to successfully enhance/rehabilitate portions of the 271
acres of existing forested wetland north and east of the north end of Gum Road. At the end of
December 2013, there was a 9 acre unplanted area designated for equipment to complete
construction of the perimeter berm and parking lot post -Phase 3 planting. This area was a 25 -
foot wide corridor offset from the inside edge of the perimeter berm. Construction progress
allowed 2 acres of the offset to be planted during 2014 Phase 3 planting and the remaining 7
acres were planted in 2015 when Phase 4 was planted. The stems used for planting in the offset
were an assortment of stems from the unplanted debris pile footprints. The species mix in the
offset did not replicate the original planting zones; therefore, these 9 acres are not included in a
specific wetland planting zone in the list above but are included in the wetland restoration total.
The remaining 73 acres are comprised of existing roads, perimeter berms, and other
man -dominated areas. The —18,301 linear feet of jurisdictional waters in roadside ditches and
canals along Bay City Road 2 and County Line Road 2 will remain unplugged (these distances
are included in the 33 acres of open water). Approximately 12,980 feet of roadside ditches
parallel to Gum Road and a 3,400 -foot roadside ditch north of Bay City 4 will also remain
unplugged. To increase surface water storage, the original plans showed installation of plugs in
these roadside ditches after the first year. However, data collected thus far indicates sufficient
surface water storage to meet the wetland hydrology criterion at almost every well location.
The acreage numbers listed in this year's report reflect corrections made in early 2018
(e.g., omissions and/or calculation errors noted during the final acres tally for the Phase 4 as -built
and first annual reports and rectification for the entire P and U Lands mitigation site). The wetland
acreages shown in the PCN represented the various wetland target types based on the
boundaries established in the field by the project surveyor. Minor changes which occurred during
site development, such as the placement of excess fill in some of the interior and roadside
ditches, required minor adjustments to the original distribution of acres proposed in the PCN.
These small differences are typical for a project which took over four years to complete and
included changes with each year's work as a result of weather delays or excessive wetness; the
cumulative effect of which was not apparent until final calculations of Phase 4 was begun.

Fifth Annual and Summary Report March 2019
2.0 REQUIREMENTS
2.1 Normal Rainfall and Growing Season. A continuous electronic rain gauge on the
adjacent Bay City Mitigation Site was downloaded once a month and its data used in conjunction
with data from nearby automated weather stations (e.g., NRCS WETS data from NOAA's site at
Aurora and rain gauges at other nearby monitoring sites) to determine normal rainfall during the
monitoring period. Bay City data were compared to the WETS range of normal precipitation to
determine if Bay City rainfall was within the normal range. The range of normal precipitation for
this report refers to the 30th and 70th percentile thresholds of the probability of having onsite
rainfall amounts less than or higher than those thresholds. The range of normal and the 30 -day
rolling total data lines begin on the last day of each month and the current year Aurora monthly
precipitation total is plotted on the last day of each month.
Under the 2010 regional guidance from the Corps of Engineers for wetland hydroperiods,
the normal growing season for Beaufort County is 28 February to 6 December or 282 days
(WETS table for Beaufort County first/last freeze date 28 degrees F 50 percent probability) (US
Army Corps of Engineers 2010). At the suggestion of the USACE's Washington regulatory field
office, data collected between 1 February and 27 February provide important information related
to analyses of site hydrology during the early growing season, but are not part of the hydroperiod
calculation for wetland success.
2.2 Hydrology. Figure 2 depicts the locations of hydrology monitoring equipment,
Figure 3 shows these locations on Beaufort County soil polygons, and Figure 4 shows all
monitoring locations on the as -built LiDAR. To document surface storage and hydroperiods of
the site, 96 semi -continuous electronic In -Situ LeveITROLL water level monitoring wells
(manufactured by In -Situ) were deployed at a density of approximately 1 well/15 acres across all
planted areas of Phase 3, with the exception of two installed near the perimeter canal. These two
were used in conjunction with a nearby well to monitor the effectiveness of the keyway at the
bottom of the perimeter berm. The keyway was constructed to prevent potential lateral drainage
effects from the open canal. Exclosures constructed of barbed wire wrapped around metal fence
posts were built around each well to reduce likelihood of disturbance or equipment loss by black
bears which are common in the region.
Three wells were installed 13 March 2013 in a recently timbered tract west of Rodman
Road in the Ponzer soil series as controls for the P and U Lands wells in the same soil type
(Figures 1-4). To serve as additional controls, in November of 2015, four wells were installed at
previous well locations within the adjacent restored Bay City Farm. These four locations also
represent Ponzer soils and LiDAR data indicate they are at lower elevations than the three
Rodman wells.
Electronic wells collect data every 1.5 hours, were downloaded once a month, and the
data evaluated to document wetland hydroperiods. Wetland hydroperiods were calculated by
counting consecutive days with water level no deeper than 12 inches below the soil surface
during the growing season under normal or below normal rainfall conditions (per WETS long term
data) and then under all rainfall conditions.
2.3 Flow. Within the Gum Swamp Run valley, a 2 -foot wide channel was constructed within
the first two field sections and in the western half of the third section east of Bay City Road
(SR1002), while in the eastern half of third section, no construction occurred. No construction
occurred in the fourth field section either, an area called the "bowl", where the historic stream
valley slope lessened and the valley widened; the ground surface was so close to the invert of
the stream valley any construction would have lowered the elevation. With no construction
performed in the bowl, 100 -feet on either side of the design centerline of the stream valley
retained the remnant silviculture beds (north -south axis perpendicular to flow) as well as the ruts
left from the pre -restoration timber harvest. In order to recapture over flow from a spillway from a
P and U Lands Restoration Site Phase 3 3 PCS Phosphate Company, Inc.
Fifth Annual and Summary Report March 2019
portion of the adjacent wetlands of the restored Parker Farm, an area which LiDAR indicated
historically was part of the Gum Swamp Run upper drainage basin, a shallow 40 -foot wide
meander belt was constructed in the upper valley beginning just upstream of the bowl, from the
fifth field section east of Bay City Road to the top of the valley intersection with the ditch that
separates Parker Farm from P Lands. The 40 -foot wide meander belt was constructed along the
bottom of the valley as indicated by LiDAR. All timber beds were removed in the belt footprint
and the area was smoothed to allow base flow to collect at the invert of the valley and form its
own path downstream. With the hydrologic connection restored between the Parker Farm and
Gum Swamp Run, it was anticipated that flow would form a preferred channel(s) of some
dimension(s) within the meander belt constructed in the historic valley. All construction in Gum
Swamp Run followed the valley signature indicated by LiDAR.
Stream surveys were conducted annually to document conditions in the restored Gum
Swamp Run, its headwater stream valley, the headwater valley to the south of Gum Swamp Run,
and to monitor achievement of restoration goals. The entire length of the valley was walked.
Active flow and features formed by previous flow were documented with GPS, photo and/or
video; each year only new features were added and persistence or absence of previous features
was noted. In the first few years, the surveys were performed usually twice annually (once in the
dry time of year and once in the wet); however, herbaceous vegetation colonization altered this
schedule as the site evolved. As an experiment, in April 2015, two game/trail cameras (Ltl Acorn
HD Video MMS Wireless 12 mega pixels) were installed in the upper valley of Gum Swamp Run
to capture flow conditions in the valley on a daily basis via regularly programmed video. These
cameras were mounted on wooden posts at the edge of the 40 -foot meander belt constructed in
the valley. Also beginning in June 2015, at the monthly downloads, biologists downloaded these
cameras and made observations at these two locations and also walked to the Gum Swamp Run
valley/stream in the vicinity of eight nearby monitoring wells and at two locations along the valley
to the south, took additional video of flow, made note of other observations of evidence of past or
current flow (e.g., debris wrack, sediment scour or sorting), and water depth. The cameras were
programmed to record twice each day.
2.4 Vegetation. Annual surveys of the 94 0.3 -acre planted vegetation monitoring
plots occurred in the fall, usually between September - December. The plots represent 2 percent
of the restoration area (Figure 2). Nuisance monitoring plots (1 meter square) were established
in 2014 at the upper corner opposite the well (along the long axis of the plot) in all tree plots and
all woody stems taller than 1 foot were counted and identified. Six additional 0.11 -acre plots were
established and surveyed in December 2015 to monitor stem density in potential stream buffer
zones along the restored Gum Run headwaters (four plots) and the low-energy headwater valley
system south of Gum Swamp Run (Figure 2).
Live stakes of four species were planted every 3 feet along each outside edge of the 2 -
foot wide constructed lower stream channel and within the likely flowpath through the middle
"bowl" section indicated by LiDAR (no construction), and on a 5 x 5 -foot spacing across the entire
40 -foot wide belt constructed in the upper headwater valley. The live stakes included two species
of willow (Salix nigra and S. caroliniana), elderberry (Sambucus canadensis), and buttonbush
(Cephalanthus occidentalis). In addition to the live stakes, the 40 -foot belt in the upper headwater
valley was also planted with bald cypress (Taxodium distichum), green ash (Fraxinus
pennsylvanica), water tupelo (Nyssa aquatica), and swamp chestnut oak (Quercus michauxii) on
a 9 x 9 -foot spacing. The intent was that faster growing live stake species would provide roots to
help anchor the constructed channel sides and sediments in the 40 -foot belt and provide some
shade sooner than the bare root hardwood seedlings. The bare root stems in the upper section
would also provide some structure and additional leaf litter. These live stakes and stems in the
40 -foot valley were neither actively monitored nor quantified but their condition was noted when
the stream valley was visited for other tasks.
Extra bare -root stems ("leftover" from the unplanted footprint of the debris piles) from the
Phase 4 2015 planting were planted in Phase 3 in the 25 -foot wide area along the interior of the
P and U Lands Restoration Site Phase 3 4 PCS Phosphate Company, Inc.
Fifth Annual and Summary Report March 2019
perimeter berm in some locations (the bottom of the U Lands west of Gum Road, along Bay City
Road, County Line Road, and along Jamie Road at the top of Gum Road; a total of approximately
9 acres). These "25 -foot offset areas", were unplanted in 2014 in order to maintain an equipment
access corridor post -planting of the other portion of Phase 3 in 2014. No additional vegetation
monitoring plots were added.
2.5 Photographic Documentation. Fifteen permanent photo point locations were
established along the perimeter of the restoration area (Figure 2). Annual photos were taken in
the fall.
2.6 Reports. Further details of construction and monitoring are included in the as -
built, first, second, third, and fourth annual reports (CZR 2015a, 2015b, 2016, 2017, and 2018).
3.0 2018 RESULTS
3.1 Rainfall. Total rainfall in 2018 at Bay City was 67.6 inches, 17.0 inches more
than 2017. The 30 -day rollingp total of 2018 Bay City rainfall shows the following periods as above
normal (above the WETS 70' percentile longer than several days): 26 May — June 27, 28 July —
23 August, 14 September — 14 October, and 2 November- 5 December (Figure 5). Wetland
hydroperiods were calculated for the entire year regardless of rainfall and also calculated with
above normal rainfall periods excluded.
The US Drought Monitor(http://drouclhtmonitor.unl.edu) provides a synthesis of multiple
indices and reflects the consensus of federal and academic scientists on regional conditions on a
weekly basis (updated each Thursday). In 2018, all 41 weeks of the growing season were
considered normal with no drought status in the vicinity of the P and U lands project area.
3.2 Hydrology. The performance criterion for hydrology in the hardwood flat zones
(Z5 and Z6) is a wetland hydroperiod for 6 percent or more of the growing season, and 10
percent or more for the other zones (Table 1). All 10 wells in Z5 and Z6 had a 2018 wetland
hydroperiod for more than 6 percent of the growing season, even when periods of above normal
rainfall were excluded (Tables 2 and 3, Figures 6 and 7). Pre -construction LiDAR and field
reconnaissance indicated higher elevations in these two hardwood flat planting zones and they
were planted with species less tolerant of longer hydroperiods.
In the other zones, 98 percent of wells (84 of 86) had a wetland hydroperiod for more
than 10 percent of the growing season. When periods of above normal rainfall were excluded 79
wells met the 10 percent hydrology criterion; there were seven wells that did not. Of those seven
wells, one (PUM115) is located along the most downstream section of the Gum Swamp Run 2 -
foot valley where heavy equipment was used to move dirt and construct the channel and
perimeter berm. Another well, PUM113, is located near the toe of the constructed perimeter
berm. Soil compaction in these areas may have affected the hydrology for these two wells. For
PUM161 and PUM170, 2018 was the second year these wells did not record a wetland
hydroperiod for 10 percent or more of the growing season, although both recorded hydroperiods
just below 10 percent (8.2 and 9.6 percent respectively). Well PUM129 is located close to the
unplugged open section of the roadside ditch north of Bay City 4 Road and while its longest 2018
hydroperiod (8.5 percent) did not meet the 10 percent criteria, it may be affected by the open
canal or compaction from the construction haul road parallel to the roadside ditch. Well PUM175
had no 2018 hydroperiod even when the WETS 701h percentile was ignored; the area around
PUM 175 is densely vegetated with pines and sumac after Y5 and noticeably at higher elevation
than adjacent areas nearby which often have standing water and algal mats. The seventh well,
PUM195, also had no 2018 wetland hydroperiod and is also located in an area of noticeably
higher elevation (based on field observation and herbaceous volunteers).
P and U Lands Restoration Site Phase 3 5 PCS Phosphate Company, Inc.
Fifth Annual and Summary Report March 2019
During both rainfall conditions (with or without WETS above normal removed), the three
Rodman control wells recorded a wetland hydroperiod for 25-75 percent of the growing season.
The four Bay City control wells also had wetland hydroperiods, two wells for >12.5-25 percent,
one well for >25-75 percent, and one well for >75 percent of the growing season. Only one
control well was affected by removal of the above normal rainfall hydroperiod; BCRW44 changed
from >75 percent to >25-75 percent of the growing season.
3.3 Flow. No pedestrian stream survey was conducted in the Gum Swamp Run
valleys during 2018 since previous surveys had already documented flow events and features
necessary to satisfy the success criteria; however, monthly flow observations at the designated
locations continued to be collected and the two flow cameras remained in place (although their
function was less reliable after three years in the weather). Appendix A contains the 2018 flow
observations and videos collected in the two valleys in 2018 and two figures which document
evidence of flow collected by GPS over the years. All 2018 flow videos are included only on the
accompanying DVD in two folders: Selected Mounted Game Cameras and Monthly Observations.
Appendix A also contains the results of the final longitudinal and cross-section survey as well as
all previously collected geomorphic data to show the evolution of Gum Swamp Run at the
measurement locations Year 1 -Year 5 (Y1 — Y5) Within Appendix A, the re-establishment of
various important functions is also discussed.
Four representative flow videos were selected from each of the two mounted game
cameras; one video per quarter of the year recorded during a different week from the monthly
downloads. Daily flow videos from the game cameras are available upon request. Also included
on the DVD is a file containing data for each month with daily flow observations taken from the
videos of the two mounted cameras.
All Gum Swamp Run flow observation locations had at least five observed flow events
during both rainfall conditions (with and without periods of above normal rainfall) (Table 4). Flow
events were also inferred at observation locations based on instances of observed flow at
shallower depths at the same station. The downstream flow station near PUM127 along the
headwater valley to the south of Gum Swamp Run had three documented flow events during all
and normal rainfall; flow was observed two times in 2018 at the upstream flow station near
PUM126. The volunteer channel that formed downstream of the intervalley connector between
Gum Swamp Run and the secondary headwater valley (PUM115 South Feature), had eight
documented flow events during all rainfall and five during normal and below normal rainfall. The
two mounted cameras at the edge of the 40 -foot upper headwater valley captured numerous flow
events for 2018; GSR Camera 1 recorded 78 flow events (260 inferred) and GSR Camera 2
recorded 256 flow events (260 inferred).
3.4 Vegetation. Planting zones of Phase 3 were divided into several community
types: riverine swamp forest (Z1), headwater forest (Z2), non- riverine swamp forest (Z3), pond
pine pocosin forest (Z4), and two zones of hardwood flat (Z5 and Z6). Using only the number of
planted stems that were unquestionably alive in the monitoring plots, the most conservative
estimate of survival is presented. Some stems appeared dead or questionable; but prior
experience indicates a stem needs to appear dead (or not be found) for two surveys before it can
be confidently deemed dead. Appendix B contains the number of stems by zone that were
unquestionably alive in each plot for the fall 2018 survey.
Overall survival of trees that were unquestionably alive in the 94 plots from the time of
planting to the Y5 fall survey was 70 percent, with a corresponding density of 284 trees per acre
(Table 5). Bald cypress (Taxodium distichum), pond cypress (T. ascendens), swamp titi (Cyrilla
racemif/ora), Atlantic white cedar (Chamaecyparis thyoides), and cherrybark oak (Quercus
pagoda) had the highest survival of stems with 98, 95, 91, 84, and 84 percent of stems alive
respectively. Excluding unknown species, white oak (Q. alba), ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana),
and laurel oak (Q. laurifolia) had the lowest survival with 31, 42, and 56 percent of alive stems
respectively. If trees with uncertain survival status (stem appeared dead but could not be
P and U Lands Restoration Site Phase 3 6 PCS Phosphate Company, Inc.
Fifth Annual and Summary Report March 2019
confirmed) were included with trees that were definitely alive, survival increased to 74 percent
and a density of 299 trees per acre.
Overall survival of shrubs that were unquestionably alive from the time of planting to the
Y5 fall survey was 75 percent with a corresponding density of nine shrubs per acre scattered
among the 11 species planted (Table 5). Possumhaw (Viburnum nudum), inkberry (Ilex glabra),
and Virginia sweetspire (Itea virginica) had the highest percent of unquestionably alive stems with
94, 79, and 79 respectively. If all shrubs with uncertain survival status (stem appeared dead but
could not be confirmed) were included with shrubs that were definitely alive, survival increased to
77 percent but the density remained at nine stems per acre.
When trees, shrubs and unknown planted species that were definitely alive were
combined, density increased to 293 stems per acre, and if stems with uncertain survival were
added, the density increased to 308 stems per acre. At Y5, volunteer woody stems were also
counted. Woody volunteer stems were comprised mostly of wax myrtle (Morella cerifera), swamp
titi (Cyrilla racemiflora), red bay (Persea borbonia), and pond pine (Pinus serotina). The annual
fall and woody volunteer surveys show there is a diverse assemblage of trees interspersed with a
healthy shrub component.
In the six buffer plots, a total of 244 alive stems among 12 large tree species, two small
tree species, and one shrub species were found in the 2018 survey (Table 6). Most of the
identified trees were swamp chestnut oak (Quercus michauxii), bald cypress, and water tupelo
(Nyssa aquatica); one shrub, an American beautyberry (Callicarpa americana), was tagged in a
buffer plot. Based on the six plots, the total density of trees alive in the buffer area was 370
stems per acre at Y5 survey and 382 if the unsure stems are added. After combining the trees,
shrubs and unknown species that were definitely alive, stem density increases to 371 stems per
acre, and if stems with uncertain survival are added, the density within the riparian buffer
increases to 383 stems per acre. Even though the stem density criterion is the same for the
alternate riparian buffer restoration and non -riparian wetland restoration, the results from the six
buffer plots were not added to the results from the other plots because the buffer plots were
established within what was considered the riparian buffer footprint (see Table 6).
Volunteer woody vegetation in the 94 plots was also counted in the 2018 survey. All
volunteer woody stems taller than 1 foot were counted, but those with upland status or
considered a nuisance species were excluded from density calculations. A total 15,192 stems of
36 tree and shrub species were identified as woody volunteers, of those, the density of non -
nuisance wetland trees was 208 stems per acre, the density of non -nuisance wetland shrubs was
81 stems per acre, and the total density of non -nuisance wetland stems was 289 stems per acre.
After adding the volunteer tree stems to the planted tree stems, the tree density is 492 stems per
acre, which is above the required 260 stems per acre for success (Table 7). Furthermore, after
adding woody wetland volunteer tree and shrub stems to the planted tree and shrub stems,
density increases even more to a total of 581 wetland tree and shrub stems per acre. The
volunteer stems enhance the diversity of the site because some of the volunteer species were not
the same species that were planted.
Volunteer woody vegetation in the six buffer plots was also counted in the 2018 survey by
the same method as in the larger plots. A total of 354 stems of 12 tree and shrub species were
identified as woody volunteers. Of those, the density of non -nuisance wetland trees was 170
stems per acre, the density of non -nuisance wetland shrubs was eight stems per acre, and the
total density of non -nuisance wetland stems was 177 stems per acre. After adding the volunteer
tree stems to the planted tree stems, the tree density is 540 stems per acre, which is above the
required 260 stems per acre for success (Table 7). Furthermore, after adding volunteer tree and
shrub stems to the planted tree and shrub stems, density increases even more to a total of 548
P and U Lands Restoration Site Phase 3 7 PCS Phosphate Company, Inc.
Fifth Annual and Summary Report March 2019
wetland tree and shrub stems per acre. The volunteer stems enhance the diversity of the site
because some of the volunteer species were not the same species that were planted.
The USACE determined that three tree species have the potential to out -compete young
planted trees at a mitigation site and need to be monitored as nuisance species to ensure they do
not take over a mitigation site. These species are loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), red maple (Acer
rubrum), and sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua). In 2016, a total of 470 stems were found in all
nuisance plots and 50 stems were of the three species mentioned (10.6 percent). Of the 50
stems, 25 were pine, 21 were red maple, and four were sweetgum. Young loblolly pine and pond
pine are often difficult to distinguish from each other and so some of the pond pine counted in
nuisance plots might be loblolly pine. Of the 25 pines previously mentioned, 17 were identified as
pond pine. None of the three nuisance species exceeded 20 percent (either in aggregate or
separately) in either Y2 or Y3 survey, so per the nuisance monitoring plan, no remediation was
necessary.
Neither the live stakes planted anywhere within the Gum Swamp Run restoration nor the
hardwood stems planted in the 40 -foot wide belt constructed in the upper headwater valley were
monitored for survival nor were their stems included in the density counts for success. However,
in case future coastal plain projects may consider live stakes or bare root hardwood seedlings
planted in a similar situation (low -slope upper stream valley and organic soils of the coastal plain),
it is instructive to note that survival of these stems was much lower than expected and to suggest
potential causes for poor survival.
The entire distance of the Gum Swamp Run channel and valley was walked from top to
bottom at least twice a year for the first few years and conditions of the live stakes and hardwood
stems was observed during these surveys. While buttonbush and willow live stakes survived
along the edges of the lower stream channel better than any stems in the upper headwater valley
their survival is still estimated at less than 50 percent; elderberry was not specifically noted, but
some live stake stems of this species may have survived. Since the middle bowl underwent no
construction and no herbicide was used to control vegetation like in some other areas of this
portion of Phase 3, it was almost impossible to find the planted live stakes in the bowl during
stream surveys. In addition, among the herbaceous vegetation of the bowl, the pin flags which
marked the edges of the areas where the planters were to plant the live stakes were also difficult
to see. What's more, the flow paths that did develop through the bowl and were walked during
annual stream surveys were not necessarily where the planters put the live stakes. However, the
condition of the planted stems in the 40 -foot wide upper headwater valley area was quite obvious
during stream surveys.
In the upper portion, it is estimated that by Y3 the live stake survival was less than 5
percent (mostly willow) and the hardwood seedling survival was perhaps 15 percent (almost all
bald cypress with a few water tupelo). There are four main reasons suspected for poor survival of
these stems in the upper portion of the system to consider in future efforts:
• water for longer duration than anticipated across the entire 40 -foot wide upper
system for most of the year,
• deeper water than anticipated in the upper 1,200 feet of the system,
• high temperatures of the shallow water in the upper system open to the full effect
of the summer sun, and
• acidity of the water.
Tolerance for both wetness and low pH was part of the species selection process; however,
seedlings of even tolerant species are stressed when their stem is flooded for prolonged periods
before they have established a root system. Water in the upper 1,200 feet of the system often
submerged all but 2 to 4 inches of the top of the live stakes as was evident in the flow appendix
photos of annual reports. Perhaps the speed with which the system rehydrated and the amount of
P and U Lands Restoration Site Phase 3 8 PCS Phosphate Company, Inc.
Fifth Annual and Summary Report March 2019
base flow expressed were underestimated by those who promoted the live stakes and stems in
the upper system and perhaps any stems in the upper system was a flawed concept in this
situation. But if stems were a good idea in the constructed floor of the upper headwater valley,
perhaps some topographic diversity within the constructed footprint would have helped more
stems survive; the construction design called for basically a flat 40 -foot wide floor to enable water
to find its own path. Water temperature was not measured, but it was definitely noted as "hot"
during all summer surveys; pH of the water in the Gum Swamp Run system was not measured
post -restoration, but soil pH was measured prior to restoration and pH ranged from 3.4 in Dare
muck to 5.7 in Ponzer, the two soils shown in the county soil survey within the system. An
additional indicator of acidity may be that the glue and seams on biologist's field boots typically
last for about one year of tasks in the waters of the P and U Lands mitigation site and other
nearby creek systems.
Potential causes for mortality of the live stakes along the edges of the lower stream
channel are more difficult to determine as that environment and configuration is similar to a
typical use of live stakes for stabilization of side slopes next to a constructed channel. The
planting crew was experienced with installation of live stakes and the live stakes arrived in 4 -foot
lengths in the expected dormant condition. Initially, there was more competition from existing
herbaceous vegetation in the lower stream channel than was found across the upper system; that
competition may have been a factor, and the acidity of the water may have also contributed.
Temperature was a less likely factor as the narrow 2 -foot wide channel was more protected from
the sun by adjacency of the herbaceous cover.

4.0 SUMMARY (2018 AND FIVE MONITORING YEARS)
4.1 Hydrology and Flow. According to WETS rainfall calculations, 2018 rainfall
recorded at the Bay City gauge was normal or below normal WETS rainfall except for 26 May - 27
June, 28 July - 23 August, 14 September - 14 October and 02 November - 05 December (Table
8). The wells in the hardwood flat zones had a wetland hydroperiod for 6 percent or more of the
growing season during all rainfall conditions and during normal or below normal rainfall. In other
zones, 98 percent of wells (84 of 86) had a wetland hydroperiod for more than 10 percent of the
growing season. When periods of above normal rainfall were excluded, there were seven wells
that did not meet the hydrology criterion in 2018 (79 of 86).
Tables 9 and 10 depict the five-year summary of the hydroperiods for each well with
above normal rainfall hydroperiods removed (Table 9) and all rainfall hydroperiods included
(Table 10). By the end of Y1 (2014), 17 of the 96 wells did not have a wetland hydroperiod, by
Y2 only four wells did not, by Y3 and Y4 eight did not, and by Y5 seven did not. Over the five
monitoring years (2014-2018), 77 of the 96 wells recorded a wetland hydroperiod for all
monitoring years, nine wells had a wetland hydroperiod for four out of five monitoring years, and
two wells had a wetland hydroperiod for three of the monitoring years. Eight wells (PUM113, 115,
116, 129, 175, 187, 192, and 195) had a wetland hydroperiod for two years or less (below 50
percent of the monitoring years success criterion). Site conditions at eight wells with either no
hydroperiods or lower hydroperiods than expected were investigated in late 2017 and early 2018;
of those eight, one has since met the 50 percent criteria (PUM170) and one location was added
(PUM192). A description of that investigation is included in Appendix D and soil profiles taken
during the investigation are shown in Table D-1.
P and U Lands Restoration Site Phase 3 9 PCS Phosphate Company, Inc.
Fifth Annual and Summary Report March 2019
The lower hydroperiods are likely due to either compaction from construction activity,
proximity to an open ditch/canal, or slightly higher elevation than surrounding areas. As -built
LiDAR shows two of the wells investigated (PUM175 and PUM195) as located in higher elevation
areas (9.5 to 10.5 feet) within the non -riparian portion of the site which ranges from 6.5 to 11 feet
(up to 12 feet at a few scattered locations); for PUM195 the higher area was estimated to be
about 60 feet in diameter; dimensions of the higher area observed at PUM175 was not described,
although, at the time the area was comparatively sparsely vegetated. The areas at PUM113 and
PUM115 are drier, likely due to small topographic differences or compaction/disturbances as a
result of construction; PUM115 may also experience some drawdown from proximity to the lower
Gum Swamp Run stream channel which has moderate perennial flowing water over the
monitored years. PUM120 and PUM192 are also drier due to construction impacts (both areas
were part of a haul road for construction equipment); and proximity to an open roadside ditch also
contributes to a lower hydroperiod at PUM129 (two of five years met the 10 percent non -riparian
threshold and a third year was at 8.5 percent). Additionally, PUM192 was just below 10 percent at
9.6 in 2017 and rounding would result in two years out of five; this well has displayed a steady
trend of wetter hydroperiods each year (5.7 percent in 2015, 7.4 percent in 2016, 9.6 percent in
2017, and 12.1 percent in 2018). It was difficult to confidently determine a cause for lower
hydroperiods at PUM116 and PUM187, although PUM116 may also experience some drawdown
from proximity to lower Gum Swamp Run channel. The investigation showed PUM187 in a small
75- x 50 -foot area slightly elevated above the surrounding ground; both wells met the 10 percent
criterion for two of the five years and their 2017 hydroperiods were just below 10 percent at 9.6
and 9.9. Obviously, those 2017 hydroperiods could be rounded to 10 percent which would cause
these two wells to meet the criterion.
Wetland hydroperiods during WETS normal and below normal rainfall periods and those
during the entire growing season regardless of rainfall were evaluated separately. Hydroperiods
for all monitoring years were also evaluated taking into account two drought indices: the Palmer
Drought Severity Index (PDSI) and the Palmer Hydrological Drought Index (PHDI) (Tables 9 and
10). Even though some of the years included a few weeks of drought status according to the US
Drought Monitor, no year from 2013 to 2016 was assigned a yearly drought status- all years were
either near normal or some level of above normal. The consecutively wet years might have
contributed to the low survival of stems at the site. According to the US Drought Monitor in 2017,
all weeks through June were considered normal in the vicinity of the P and U Lands project area.
In 2018, all 41 weeks of the growing seasons were considered normal with no drought status in
the vicinity of the P and U lands project area.
All Gum Swamp Run flow observation locations had at least five observed flow events
during both rainfall conditions in 2018 (with and without periods of above normal rainfall) .The
downstream flow station near PUM127 along the headwater valley to the south of Gum Swamp
Run had three documented flow events during all and normal rainfall; flow was observed two
times in 2018 at the upstream flow station near PUM126. Fill for the first ditch east of SR1002
and south of lower Gum Swamp Run was approximately 6 inches higher than surrounding ground
surface. This difference in elevation obstructed downstream flow in the shorter unnamed
headwater valley south of Gum Swamp Run. Historically, this smaller tributary headwater system
likely connected with Gum Swamp Run somewhere close to current SR1002 footprint and into the
SR1002 roadside canal after the road was built. However, the restoration of the perimeter berm
and the naturally higher elevations between the invert of Gum Swamp Run and the invert of the
smaller southern system may have caused southern valley flow waters to pile up along the toe of
the perimeter berm and potentially cause instability. Therefore, during restoration activities, the
"intervalley connector", a shallow straight narrow channel, was constructed to connect the two
valleys. In addition, two years later, an area approximately 130 feet long and 1 to 2 feet wide
was dug with hand shovels in March 2016 across the fill; the dug "channel' followed the course of
pin flags that marked a flowpath across the fill noted at high water condition. Subsequent field
observations up through April and December of 2018 showed that instead of being damned at the
P and U Lands Restoration Site Phase 3 10 PCS Phosphate Company, Inc.
Fifth Annual and Summary Report March 2019
eastern edge of the fill, water frequently flowed in this narrow channel across the fill, into the
intervalley connector, and then formed a short natural sinuous channel from the end of the
intervalley connector into Gum Swamp Run itself.
The volunteer channel that formed downstream of the intervalley connector between
Gum Swamp Run and the secondary headwater valley (PUM115 South Feature), had eight
documented flow events during all rainfall and five during normal and below normal rainfall. This
feature has developed a more defined bed and bank since formation and is approximately 80 to
100 feet long. The south valley and PUM115 South Feature are just some examples of multiple
naturally forming features in the Gum Swamp Run headwater system. As -built LiDAR indicate
potential locations for small flowpaths to form and annual aerials also capture some of these
features. The two mounted cameras in the 40 -foot headwater valley captured numerous flow
events for 2018; GSR Camera 1 recorded 78 flow events (260 inferred) and GSR Camera 2
recorded 256 flow events (260 inferred).
Table 11 is a summary table of year -by -year flow documentation collected during annual
stream surveys, monthly observations, and the videos from the stationary flow cameras. The
distance for the entire Gum Swamp Run headwater valley (40 -foot wide meander belt constructed
in the upper valley, the bowl, and 2 -foot constructed channel) has met the flow success criteria
described in Table 1.
Appendix A -Figure 1 shows the cross-section locations, observation locations, camera
locations, and evidence of flow features documented over the monitoring period (e.g., flow, bed
and bank formation, sediment sorting, wrack lines, oriented vegetation, and overbank flow) on
two sheets (one with aerial photo as background and the other zoomed in on the upper
headwater valley with no aerial in order to better distinguish the GPS data collected during the
stream surveys). During stream surveys, GPS data in the upper headwater valley and bowl were
collected only for segments with evidence of flow greater than 10 feet in length; therefore, the
headwater valley flow paths depicted on Figure 1 of Appendix A do not document every location
where flow occurred or was observed within the 40 -foot valley. After Year 1 (2014), new GPS
data were collected during the surveys only in areas where flow had not been previously captured
with GPS; at almost all GPS documented flow paths in the upper valley, once flow was
established and noted the first time, evidence of repeated flow events remained afterwards.
Sheet 2 of Figure 1 of Appendix A depicts the "new" GPS flow path data collected for each year in
the 40 -foot valley and shows that over time, some flow paths became joined.
Appendix A also contains a summary of functions restored within the Gum Swamp Run
headwater system and dimensions at designated cross-sections over the monitoring period by
year with the previous dimension data for comparison over time. The majority of the sections from
all three areas showed some signs of channel development. A small drop in the elevation of the
section, or the appearance of a braid or secondary channel, or even a new preferred channel in
the upper system, should be considered normal evolution for a low-energy headwater system in
the first years after restoration and for such streams in the coastal plain in general. The small
elevation drop below the as built elevation in this system does not indicate instability. During all of
the measurement periods, water was present and flowing within the system.
4.2 Vegetation. Overall survival of trees that were unquestionably alive in the 94
plots from the time of planting to the Year 5 fall survey was 70 percent, with a corresponding
density of 284 trees per acre. Overall survival of shrubs that were unquestionably alive from the
time of planting to the Year 5 fall survey was 75 percent with a corresponding density of nine
shrubs per acre. When trees, shrubs and unknown species which were definitely alive were
combined, density increased to 293 stems per acre. A total of 245 stems among 15 tree species
and one shrub stem were found unquestionably alive in the buffer plots. Based on these six buffer
plots, total density of tree and shrub stems unquestionably alive was 370 stems per acre (382
when the unsure stems are included). The buffer stem density was not added into the stem

Fifth Annual and Summary Report March 2019
density of the other planted acres because the plots were established within what was considered
the riparian buffer footprint. Different species of trees and shrubs are surviving well in the fifth
year, and there is a diverse assemblage of trees interspersed with a healthy shrub component. In
many areas of the site, volunteer woody wetland stems (e.g. red bay [Persea borbonia] and
sweet bay [Magnolia virginiana]) enhance the diversity and increase stem density of the site.
4.3 Restoration Goals and Functional Uplifts Described. Several goals and
functional uplifts anticipated from the restoration of the Phase 3 portion of the P and U Lands
were mentioned in the mitigation plan and are listed below:
• establishment of a diverse community of vegetation which reflects differences in
soil character, topography, and hydroperiod
• establishment of conditions which allow a wetland vegetation community to
naturally regenerate from the seed bank
• capture and store rainfall
• water storage and flood flow attenuation
• groundwater recharge
• capture and retain sediment and other pollutants
• serve as a wildlife corridor and provide wildlife habitat
• improve water quality and provide watershed protection
The following paragraphs describe how these goals have been met.
Vegetation Community Diversity
Prior to restoration activities, approximately 1,100 acres of the 1,595 acres of Phase 3 of
the P and U Lands were in various stages of silviculture dominated by loblolly pine, with a mixed
understory of five common shrubs (wax myrtle, inkberry, red bay, giant cane, and swamp titi) and
numerous herbs and forbs. No vegetation survey was performed prior to restoration for direct
comparison, but photographs and data forms prepared during the jurisdictional evaluations do
provide some insight. The diversity of the vegetation community was certainly expanded with the
planting of 27 species of wetland hardwood trees and 10 species of wetland shrubs. Annual
planted stem surveys and the volunteer woody vegetation survey indicate that of the planted
stems, 26 of the 27 tree species and all 10 of the shrubs have survived; 14 of those 36 species
were found as volunteer stems in addition to five other species which were not planted. These 19
species indicate that rehydration and changes in light cover during growth of the planted stems
has provided conditions favorable for release of the historic seed bank and/or that some planted
stems have had time to produce offspring. Numerous native grasses and forbs from the seed
bank are also evident across the site.
Hydrographic Diversity
As -built LiDAR shows that Phase 3 elevations of the planted areas range from 4.5 to 11
feet, with the majority of the site falling somewhere between 7.5 to 10 feet (non -riparian).
Hydroperiods from the 94 wells scattered across the site reflect the diversity of topography and
soil characteristics; hydroperiods range from less than 14 consecutive days (minimum for wetland
hydroperiod; only one well) to 282 consecutive days (or 100 percent of the growing season).
Rainfall Capture and Storage
For the three or four decades prior to restoration, rainfall was quickly transported off the
site by a system of ditches and canals. The site had north -south running field ditches which were
an average of 600 feet apart, with a maximum lateral distance of approximately 300 feet. The
depths of the pre -restoration field ditches were 2 to 3 feet deep. The north -south field ditches tied
P and U Lands Restoration Site Phase 3 12 PCS Phosphate Company, Inc.
Fifth Annual and Summary Report March 2019
into east -west running roadside canals every 2,400 feet; these canals were 4 to 6 feet deep. The
configuration of this network provided ample capacity to remove both surface water runoff quickly
and maintain ground water well below the ground surface. To capture rainfall and disrupt the
historic runoff, almost all interior ditches were filled, partially filled, or plugged and many perimeter
canals were also plugged or partially plugged (none were filled).
Surface Water Storage and Flood flow Attenuation
The majority of the tree stumps left in the ground after the forestry operations were
removed and stacked in consolidated piles during site preparation/construction. Stump removal
left 8 to 12 -foot diameter depressions that were 1 to 2 -foot deep although these areas were later
mostly filled as part of other site work. However, the as -built UDAR data show significant
portions of the site with local variations in elevation as much as 18 inches. The lowest areas of
this variation (bottom 6 inches) typically are isolated or have only very limited connections
through the higher elevations to the next equal elevation range or lower elevation range. These
localized depressions serve as significant distributed surface water storage basins and often are
the locations with the longest hydroperiods.
To increase water storage in the upper watershed and upper Gum Swamp Run stream
valley and to re-establish base flow in the restored stream itself, in the portion of Phase 3
between Small Road and Bay City 4 Road, all the interior field ditches (600 feet apart) were filled
and roadside canals were plugged. This restoration has returned a major portion of the surface
water within the watershed back to the historic channel of Gum Swamp Run (Level 1 function —
"A Function -based Framework for Stream Assessment and Restoration Projects" by Harman et
al., 2012). Additionally, several volunteer inflows to the channel have been observed; the most
significant one was measured at station (54+00 to 55+00). At this station a 200' +/- long sinuous
narrow channel from the north delivers water directly to the channel from the floodplain.
The limited connectivity throughout the site results in a very slow removal rate, a much
longer site residency time, and concomitant attenuation of flood flow that was historically routed
offsite through the ditch network.
Wildlife Corridor within the South Creek Corridor Complex
Numerous species of wildlife have been noted over the five years of monitoring including
many species which would have also been present prior to site restoration (deer, bear, otter,
multiple reptile and amphibian species, and many migratory birds). Rehydration has made the
site more preferable for some species (beaver, nutria, and waterfowl). However, the site will
eventually provide a mature suite of forest types and various aquatic habitats which have not
been present for many decades. These restored habitats currently do provide and will continue
to provide in perpetuity a corridor with more refugia, increased mast and forage selection, and a
wide diversity of den and nest opportunities through the connection to the larger South Creek
complex; the only interruption to this connectivity to the larger corridor complex is Bay City Road
(SR1002), a two lane highway.
Improve Water Quality and Provide Watershed Protection
The restoration of Gum Swamp Run removed or greatly reduced the majority of the
manmade drainage capacity and resulted in longer residency periods for each rainfall event.
Rainfall during the drier months will not discharge at all from the site but be stored in the
depressions. This water is either removed via evaporation, transpiration, seepage into the
groundwater table or, if within the watershed of Gum Swamp Run, becomes part of the its base
flow. Larger rainfalls or rainfall during wetter months would have all of the storage and removal
benefits mentioned above, plus reduced rapid surface water runoff into Gum Swamp Run. The
P and U Lands Restoration Site Phase 3 13 PCS Phosphate Company, Inc.
Fifth Annual and Summary Report March 2019
reduction of the surface water runoff (longer residency periods) increases the amount of nutrients
(phosphorus and nitrogen) available for uptake by the site's plants and animals.
Pre -restoration, the field ditches and the roadside ditches had steep side slopes, typically
in excess of a 1:1 (horizontal to vertical distance). Slopes steeper than 3:1 are significantly more
susceptible to soil erosion which would increase the turbidity of the downstream receiving waters.
The restoration of the Phase 3 portion of P and U Lands has eliminated all of the flow from
interior field ditches and over 90 percent of the flow in the roadside canals; therefore, steep
slopes adjacent to water flow were also eliminated which greatly reduces the likelihood of erosion
or delivery of sediments to receiving waters during storm events.
Provide Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial and Aquatic)
While the existing pine plantation would have had disruptive human activities only
periodically (forestry operations with long periods of heavy vehicle presence during site
preparation, planting, thinning, and harvest activity), once the site is accepted into conservation
the human presence will be mostly limited to seasonal hunting by individuals. Prior to restoration,
manmade drainage systems may have limited the movement of many smaller mammals, reptiles,
and amphibians. Restoration of connectivity across the site (ditch/canal plugs and ditch/canal fill)
has improved the mobility for these smaller creatures. The increased diversity of flora increases
the habitat opportunities and as the forest canopy matures, it will provide attractive foraging,
resting, and nesting habitat for more diverse wildlife species, including more neo -tropical
migratory birds. Well data demonstrate a diverse range of hydroperiods distributed across the
site which provide multiple opportunities for colonization of plants and use by animals dependent
upon, or at least with a preference for, certain habitat conditions that were not present prior to
restoration (e.g., small depressions for waterfowl and amphibians).
Domec et al. (2015) showed that pine plantations operated very close to their critical leaf
water potentials (i.e. close to their permissible water potentials without total hydraulic failure),
suggesting that intensively managed plantations are more drought -sensitive and can withstand
less severe drought than natural forests. The more permanent habitat (absence of silviculture
activity) and more drought resistant habitat of the restored native hardwood wetland forest of the
P and U Lands provides a more resilient wildlife habitat than the previous pine plantation of the
site.
The following paragraphs describe the general functional uplifts as a result of the restoration.
Nutrient Removal/Transformation
The Gum Swamp Run watershed is comprised predominantly of muck soils (Dare
muck=18.2 percent; Ponzer muck=43.2 percent, and Wasda muck=35 percent). Water quality
research by the Department of Environmental Protection in Florida suggested that loading rates
for muck soils range in the order of magnitude of .0039 kg/acre-inch/year for total phosphorus
and .013 kg/acre-inch/year for total nitrogen. While studies of pine plantations in NC show that
there is not a great deal of difference between loadings of N or P in loblolly pine plantations
compared to other forest types (Amatya, Skaggs, and Gilliam, 2006), immobilization and slow
release of N and P in decomposing forest litter are more important from the standpoint of forest
productivity since they are most commonly the limiting nutrients for microbial processes of
decomposers (Piatek and Allen 2001). In the absence of the periodic disturbance of the forest
floor litter common to pine plantation operations (and even almost complete removal via shear V
blade preparation as was done in lower portions of the Gum Swamp Run watershed in its
conversion from hardwood to pine plantation by Weyerhaeuser), the long term storage,
transformation, and sequestration of nutrients will be improved by the restoration of Phase 3 of
the P and U Lands.

Organic Matter Production and Export
To better discuss this function, effort was spent to understand potential differences
between temperate deciduous forest and pine plantations on organic soils- which is not a simple
subject. However, there is much individual literature about silviculture and pine plantations as
well as the carbon cycle and forests. The carbon and nitrogen cycles are chemically complex
and dependent on numerous factors such as temperature, forest type, litter characteristics, and
soil type; additionally, the quality and quantity of bacterial or microbial mechanisms and pathways
for sequestration and or decomposition are not completely understood. Studies often dispel one
long -held concept with results that purport a new one.
Aqueous transport of organic matter through forested landscapes is known to provide
essential linkages between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Upland soils are often too sandy
to support overland flow, while movement of cation nutrients, metals, and other insoluble organic
components through wetland soils is well documented throughout the literature. Soils store at
least three times as much carbon as soil organic matter (SOM) as that found either in the
atmosphere or in living plants (Fischlin et al 2007), and root derived carbon in soils is retained
more efficiently than above ground inputs of leaves and needles (Rasse et al 2005).
Wang et al (2015) state that chemically complex plant -derived compounds are known to
be selectively preserved in the soil organic carbon (SOC) fractions in terrestrial ecosystems
(Mueller 2014 and Stark et al 2012). As reported in Wang et al (2015), Crow et al. (2009) showed
that needle -derived aliphatic compounds and root -derived lignin were preferentially preserved in
soils of coniferous forests, whereas root -derived aliphatic compounds were a source of SOC with
greater stability than leaf -derived C in soils of deciduous forests, indicating that the dominant
sources of SOC can differ substantially between forest types. Mueller et al. (2013) reported that
nearly 70 percent of the variation in individual soil lipid contents was explained by lipid contents in
tree leaves and roots, whereas biological compositions, including bacteria and fungi, of soils had
little impact on soil lipid contents. Other studies mentioned in Wang et al 2015 have shown that
while most SOC is initially derived from plant materials (Kugel-Knabner 2002), the key processes
which shape stable soil C stocks are microbial mediated decomposition and re -synthesis of plant
input (Prescott 2010, Cotrufo et al 2013, Schmidt 2011, and You et al 2014).
The ditch network drainage certainly oxidized some of the carbon stored in the muck soils
of Phase 3 and caused subsidence of 1 inch per year (USDA 1971) or up to several inches a year
(USGS 1999). Under pre -restoration drained aerobic conditions, oxidation converted the organic
carbon in the plant tissue within the soil to carbon dioxide gas and water much faster than the
carbon accumulated. Post -restoration, the rate of oxidation is substantially reduced and the type
of above ground litter and microbial biomass will be different. While not quantified either pre- or
post -restoration, it is assumed the site will both store more carbon in the soil and have more
available carbon for other ecosystem processes. Soil rehydration and the change of forest type
post -restoration will resume the more natural process of organic matter production, storage, and
export.
Capture and Retention of Sediment and Other Pollutants
Sediment or pollutants in the sediment or on the surface can be set in motion by two
different erosion mechanisms: when rainfall strikes a bare unvegetated ground surface, or when
the velocity force from runoff over unvegetated soil is greater than the forces holding the soil
particles or other pollutants in place. The restoration work has decreased the opportunities for
both of these two mechanisms to occur.
Prior to restoration, surface water runoff traveled only 300 feet to an interior field ditch
(half the distance of interior ditch spacing) and at the edge of the field, it flowed into a deeper
P and U Lands Restoration Site Phase 3 15 PCS Phosphate Company, Inc.
Fifth Annual and Summary Report March 2019
roadside canal with 1:1 or steeper side slopes. In the restored upper Gum Swamp Run
watershed, the surface water now travels 600 feet (average distance = one half of the valley
width) to the invert of the restored Gum Swamp Run. The side slopes of the channel vary from
as flat as 10:1 (upper headwater valley) to 3:1 (lower stream valley). The ground surface
throughout Gum Swamp Run watershed now has no interior ditches and the established
vegetation (planted and volunteer) attenuates the erosive force of surface runoff into the restored
channel; in fact, in much of the upper headwater valley, after the first season, the volunteer
herbaceous vegetation often directed where flow paths developed. In areas of Phase 3 not within
the Gum Swamp Run watershed, some of the interior field ditches were plugged and not
completely filled; most roadside canals were plugged every 600 feet (at the intersection of the
interior field ditches); the side slopes of the roadside canals and plugged interior ditches remain
unchanged from pre -restoration configurations. If any erosion occurs in the plugged interior
ditches or roadside canals, the sediment would settle to the bottom and would be retained in
between the plugs.
The longer flow paths, 600 feet versus 300 feet, plus the reduced and hence more stable
side slopes of the majority of the restored watershed make the overall site less susceptible to
erosion. The increased surface roughness and distributed surface storage described above traps
or retards the surface water runoff and captures any sediment or pollutants that may have been
generated elsewhere on the site. Since many of these distributed surface water storage areas
function as small isolated areas and have very little discharge, the nutrients and other pollutants
that exist on the site cannot leave the site at rates that existed prior to restoration.
Groundwater Recharge/Discharge
Groundwater elevations fluctuate throughout the year in both the pre -restored and the
restored site. Groundwater recharge is a function of elevation of the water table above the
aquifer and the length of time the water elevation stays above the aquifer. An increase of either
of these two parameters increases the groundwater recharge proportionately. The restoration
work increased groundwater recharge through an increase in the surface depressional storage
areas and the elimination of several discharge methods.
The restoration work provided an increase in the surface depressional areas by removal
of the harvested stumps which left small, distributed reservoirs with typical depths of at least 6
inches, which provide a significant increase in surface storage. The restoration work also
plugged the roadside canals and removed the field ditches. This eliminated the discharge of
nearly all of the surface water, which significantly increased the duration of time that surface
water is retained on site. Many of the site's monitoring wells show a hydroperiod in excess of 25
percent. The elevations of the water at many of the well locations also indicate that water is
stored above the ground surface. This surface storage produces a higher gradient or potential to
recharge the aquifer than existed previously. The removal of the existing timber stumps and the
elimination and/or reduction of discharge pathways significantly increased the average elevation
of the water table and the duration of water's presence, which significantly increased the
groundwater recharge.

P and U Lands Restoration Site T-13 PCS Phosphate Company, Inc.
Fifth Annual and Summary Report March 2019
Table 3. Hydroperiods of 96 non -riparian monitoring wells at P and U Lands Phase 3 restoration site, three Rodman, and four Bay City control wells
independent of WETS thresholds in 2018. Hydroperiods of 14 consecutive days or more are listed by dates, and any hydroperiods shorter than 14 days are
included in the cumulative days. Well malfunctions and missing data resulted in an estimation of exact hydroperiod length at some wells, therefore reported
hydroperiod could possibly be shorter than what occurred. Wells that changed hydrologic zones from the previous year are in bold.

Fifth Annual and Summary Report March 2019
Table 4. Summary of 2018 flow events recorded at fixed flow camera stations and during monthly site visits. (The second number in some
cells is additional events that were inferred but not recorded.) Herbaceous colonization of the valleys can prevent easy observation of flow.
Since valley slopes do not change and baseflow continues downslope, flow events inferred to have likely occurred based on observed flow at
shallower depths are shown to the right of the 'T' and represent the total number of events. A "-" indicates no data and a "0" indicates no flow
events. The DVDs with this report contain data for each month with daily flow observations taken from the videos of the two mounted
cameras.
*Missing data due to equipment issues. More flow events may have occurred than are presented in the table.
'Events that occurred during all rainfall conditions.
2Excludes events that occurred during above normal rainfall (26 May - 27 June, 28 July - 23 August, 14 September - 14 October and 2

Phase 3, Rodman Control Site, and Bay City Control Site during normal rainfall conditions. (WH=wetland hydroperiod).
Note: The longest hydroperiod at each well is depicted as a percentage of the 282 -day (or 283 -day for leap years) growing season
when the water table was recorded as -12" or above (blue highlights indicate wetness of hydrologic zone). Also shown are the Palmer
Drought Severity Index (PDSI) and the Palmer Hydrological Drought Index (PHDI) drought rankings for the NOAA Central Coastal
Plain region of North Carolina by year. (Rankings for 2018 were not available at the time of this report.) Drought rankings reflect the
rankings given at the most recent year shown in the table; drought status may change as years of climatic data are added (NN= nearly
normal, BN= below normal, MBN= much below normal, AN= above normal, and MAN= much above normal).

aWells were installed 13 March 2013.
Italicized= Well malfunction resulted in an estimation of exact hydroperiod length; reported hydroperiod could possibly be shorter than
what occurred.
Bold text wells require 6 percent or more of growing season for success (in 50 percent of the years); others require 10 percent.
Red cells indicate eight wells that have not strictly met the success criteria; two of which would meet the criteria if rounded.
Note: PUM189, 190, 199, 200, 202, 203, 204, 205 are located in the Phase 4 acres of P and U Lands mitigation site.

Fifth Annual and Summary Report March 2019
Table 10. Summary of occurrence of hydroperiods and drought status from 2014 to 2018 for wells at P & U Lands Restoration Site
Phase 3, Rodman Control Site, and Bay City Control site during all rainfall conditions. (WH=wetland hydroperiod).
Note: The longest hydroperiod at each well is depicted as a percentage of the 282 -day (or 283 -day for leap years) growing season when
the water table was recorded as -12" or above (blue highlights indicate wetness of hydrologic zone). Also shown are the Palmer Drought
Severity Index (PDSI) and the Palmer Hydrological Drought Index (PHDI) drought rankings for the NOAA Central Coastal Plain region of
North Carolina by year. (Rankings for 2018 were not available at the time of this report.) Drought rankings reflect the rankings given at
the most recent year shown in the table; drought status may change as years of climatic data are added (NN= nearly normal, BN= below
normal, MBN= much below normal, AN= above normal, and MAN= much above normal).

Table 10. (concluded)
bEcotone wells were used to monitor the Bay City Mitigation Site from 2009 to 2014. Some wells were removed before the end of the
2014 growing season and hydroperiods were not calculated. Level trolls were installed at the end of 2015 to be used as reference wells
for the P and U Lands Restoration Sites. A cell with "-" means there was no well installed long enough to calculate an accurate
hydroperiod
Italicized= Well malfunction resulted in an estimation of exact hydroperiod length; reported hydroperiod could possibly be shorter than
what occurred.
Bold text wells require 6 percent or more of growing season for success (in 50 percent of the years); others require 10 percent.
Red cells indicate eight wells that have not strictly met the success criteria; two of which would meet the criteria if rounded.
Note: PUM189, 190, 199, 200, 202, 203, 204, 205 are located in the Phase 4 acres of P and U Lands mitigation site.

Fifth Annual and Summary Report March 2019
GEOMORPHIC MEASUREMENTS UPPER GUM SWAMP RUN RESTORATION
To document the Gum Swamp Run headwater stream restoration and evolution of the system, 22 cross-
sections were established after construction in February of 2014. The restoration consisted of three
distinct areas within the upper Gum Swamp Run watershed: the upper headwater valley, the middle or
bowl, and the lower stream channel. In accordance with the Compensatory Mitigation Plan for the P
Lands and U Lands Restoration Site (CZR 2012), three permanent cross-sections were established per
1,000 -foot reach of the stream and headwater valley restoration. The permanent cross-sections were
used to monitor geomorphic changes in the constructed portions of the lower stream channel and stream
formation in the upper headwater valley. A longitudinal survey of the entire system was performed for the
as -built report.
The upper headwater valley section of the system (riparian headwater system with no defined
constructed channel) consisted of a shallow 40 -foot wide flat area along the centerline of the valley shown
on LiDAR at the invert indicated by LiDAR. All of the silviculture beds were removed and the 40 -foot wide
belt within the upper valley was smoothed or scraped 20 feet either side of the centerline; flow paths were
expected to naturally form and meander across the 40 -foot wide belt as the re -introduced base flow
accumulated and moved downstream. The 40 -foot wide meander belt begins at station 0+00 and ends at
station 40+12. For the upper headwater valley, the cross-sections were measured for the as -built and Y
3 and Y5 if channel features formed.
The bowl occupied the middle area of the system from station 40+12 to station 44+68. Post-harvest of
timber, no other construction equipment was used in the 456 -foot bowl section of the watershed;
therefore, silviculture beds (perpendicular to direction of flow) and rutted tracks from the forestry harvest
remained. The upstream east end of the bowl had a design elevation of 8.30 feet where it joined the
downstream end of the upper headwater valley 40 -foot meander belt. The downstream west end of the
bowl had a design elevation of 8.0 feet; the elevations of the lowest points in of the center of the bowl
were at 6.5 feet.
The lower stream channel section of the system consisted of a 2 -foot wide by 1 -foot deep channel
constructed from the vicinity of station 48+00 downstream along the centerline of the valley to station
71+41. LiDAR was used to establish the centerline and a mini -excavator with a small bucket was used to
construct the channel at the design invert. Between station 44+68 and station 48+00, no 2 -foot channel
was constructed as the existing elevations over this distance were already at the design invert. Within the
lower stream channel section of Gum Swamp Run restoration, the cross-sections were measured every
year.
GEOMORPHIC SUCCESS CRITERIA
Restoration of the upper watershed of Gum Swamp Run was designed to remain stable with minimal
changes through the monitoring period; however, the longitudinal profiles and cross-sections were
expected to show minor changes in flow patterns as the headwater riparian valley system evolved,
adjusted, and developed.
Longitudinal Profiles
While the profiles show evidence of some sediment movement downstream in the vicinity of the bowl,
instability of the system would be evidenced in the profile by a head cut that moves upstream. As
depicted, the downstream portions of the profiles are very similar over the years.
Upper Headwater Valley Permanent Cross-sections 14-16 and 20-25
These nine cross-sections represent the upper headwater riparian valley that had a 40 -foot design width.
The cross-sections represent the upper 4,000 linear feet of the Gum Swamp Run meander belt and were
surveyed immediately after construction and during Y3 and Y5 for verification of channel development.
P and U Lands Restoration Site Phase 3 Appendix A-4 PCS Phosphate Company, Inc.
Fifth Annual and Summary Report March 2019
Sections 20-25 show very little lateral change in their cross-section dimensions. There was vertical
change in the sections, but they are considered stable. The vertical changes seen are from the expected
development of the flow patterns within the valley caused by the movement of the sediments as the
meander belt adjusted to rehydration and during stronger periods of flow. These changes are anticipated
for a low gradient system (0.00058 ft/ft), such as the upper headwater valley (stations 0+00 through
40+12). The maximum vertical change is approximately 6 inches and is seen in two cross-sections:
cross-section 14 changed from elevation 7.36 in the as -built profile to elevation 6.66 in the final year
survey and cross-section 25 changed from elevation 9.2 in the as -built profile to elevation 6.73 in the final
year survey. All nine of these cross-sections are considered stable and within expected movements of
channel development as noted above.
Bowl (No Construction) Permanent Cross-section 13
This single cross-section is for the existing "bowl section" where no valley or channel construction of any
kind occurred. The location of the cross-section is at the downstream western edge of the bowl. Only
minor changes in the elevation are noted between the as -built thalweg of elevation 7.3 and the final
thalweg which was elevation 7.12.
Lower Stream Channel Permanent Cross-sections 9-12
These cross-sections are located in the upper 1,000 feet of the 2 -foot constructed channel. From the as -
built survey in 2014 through the final survey in 2018, these sections showed a typical vertical change of
0.35 -foot downward. No significant lateral movement was noted in these four cross-sections.
Lower Stream Channel Permanent Cross-section 8
This cross-section showed a vertical change of 0.7 -foot at the design location of the thalweg of the 2 -foot
channel and also showed formation of a second thalweg with a change of 0.83 foot from the as -built
survey. This second flow path is evidence of a braided system and is normal for low gradient systems.
Lower Stream Channel Permanent Cross-sections 1-7
These seven cross-sections represent the most downstream portion of the 2 -foot constructed channel of
Gum Swamp Run and show only a slight decrease in the elevation of the thalweg through the monitoring
period. The range of the change in elevation is 0.38 -foot to 0.13 -foot. Cross-section 6 and cross-section
2 both showed the development of a second flow path, typical in a low gradient system. The last two
cross sections represent the final 235 feet of the constructed channel and showed only a 0.13 -foot
change in elevation over the monitoring period.
The majority of the cross-sections from all three areas showed some signs of channel development.
Cross-sections that showed a small drop in the elevation of the section over time or a secondary or
braided channel should be considered within expectations of a typical low-energy stream system in the
coastal plain of North Carolina either while the system adjusts to immediate post -restoration conditions or
in general. These small migrations from the as -built elevations do not indicate instability. During all of the
measurement periods, water was present and flowing within the system.

Soil Descriptions at Selected Well Locations
P and U Lands Phase 3
Non -hydric Soil Field Investigation at Eight Wells
September and November 2017
A field investigation of the soil and areas surrounding the eight wells (PUM113, 115, 116, 129,170, 175,
187, and 195) which have not met the hydrology restoration criterion was conducted on 21 September
2017.Complete soil profile data were collected at each of the eight wells 7-9 November 2017. The
Beaufort County soil survey shows three wells (PUM115, 116, and 129) underlain by Wasda soil, three
wells (PUM170, 175, and 187) by Dare soil, one well (PUM113) by Portsmouth soil, and one well
(PUM195) by Ponzer soil; all of these soil series are considered hydric soils.
Prior to the field investigation on 21 September, 12 rainfall events were documented by the Bay City rain
gauge since 1 September 2017. Of the 12 events, nine were less than 0.1 inch. The most rainfall
recorded during this time was 1.24 inches on 1 September. None of the eight wells recorded water within
12 inches of the soil surface on the day of the field investigation in September. At each well, the soil
profile was explored in the immediate vicinity of the well to a depth of at least 15 to 20 inches. Wetland
hydroperiod occurrences, descriptions of soil profiles, and the hydric soil indicators that were assigned
are shown in Table X.
PUM113
The landscape surrounding the well in September showed dense clumps of drier vegetation (Solidago
rugosa, Eupatorium capillifolium) to the north to the berm, east to 200 feet from well, and west to 50 feet
from the well (Photos 1, 2, 4). To the south, a vegetation change to Scirpus cyperinus, the brown
vegetation beyond biologist, was seen towards PUM114 (Photo 3). In Photo 3, the biologist is standing on
a slight elevation change where the soil was visibly wetter. The soil profile at PUM113 showed evidence
of disturbance and mixing (Photo 5). The matrix for each layer described contained at least two different
colors. The first 15 inches of soil had both redox depletions and concentrations and met hydric soil
indicator F3 (depleted matrix). The well is mapped as Portsmouth soil, which is typically sandy loam for
the first 23 inches, picking up sandy clay loam textures after 23 inches. The top 15 inches of soil profile
was determined to be sandy clay loam, followed by loamy sand. The well was installed near a ditch that
was filled during the construction and a berm that was built for the Phase 3 site, which may explain
elevational differences and soil mixing.

Soil was saturated at the surface 30 feet north of PUM115 with areas of standing water near the Gum
Swamp Run stream valley; in Photo 6 near the bay tree. The elevation difference between the well and
stream valley can be seen in Photos 6 and 7. In Photo 7, the biologist in the photo is approximately 3 feet
higher in elevation than the biologist who took the photo. Based on vegetation, areas directly east, south,
and west appeared to be drier than the stream valley. Black mucky sandy loam was noted within the first
8 inches followed by 2 inches of mostly very dark or black sand that had clumps of 10YR 7/3 pale yellow,
although it was difficult to determine if a chroma of 2 was more accurate. Black organic streaks and redox
concentrations began at 10 inches. The soil met hydric soil indicators A7 and F1 (5 cm mucky mineral
and loamy mucky mineral).

PUM129
PUM129 was installed just north of the unplugged Bay City No. 4 roadside ditch. A vegetation change can
be seen behind the well in Photo 16 when compared to the vegetation in Photo 17 looking in the opposite
direction. The tree line in Photo 17 is along the roadside ditch edge. A strip about 70 feet wide that
borders the ditch to the north, which includes PUM129, was a haul road used by large equipment during
the construction of Phase 3 (Photo 18). This area experienced soil disturbance and compaction from
construction; in addition, the soil may also be affected by proximity to the unplugged roadside ditch (per
NRCS 1998 Scope and Effect Guide, saturation of Wasda soil may show ditch effects from 85 to 105 feet
away depending on ditch depth). Other wells, near this strip, such as PUM128 and PUM130, had wetland
hydroperiods. The soil profile taken at PUM129 met hydric soil indicators A7 and F1 (Photo 19). A soil
profile dug about 40 feet south of PUM129 had a bright orange color within the top 12 inches and did not
meet a hydric soil indicator (Photo 20).

The soil at PUM170 was dry, friable muck with wood chips comprising less than 1 percent. The area just
west of County Line Road 2 has pockets of both thick and sparse vegetation, as can be seen in Photo 21
with sparse vegetation shown in the bottom left. East of the well, the number and size of sparsely
vegetated areas increases closer to the west roadside beside County Line Road 2. The sparsely
vegetated areas appeared dry close to PUM170 and PUM175. Moving north towards PUM176, crusty
algal mats were observed in the sparsely vegetated areas, indicators of periods of standing water.

PUM195
The well appeared to be drier based on vegetation and the lack of hydrologic indicators in the vicinity; as
one walks toward the well, the elevation is higher than other nearby areas and one can see over the top
of the perimeter berm. This higher area near this well was estimated to vary between 40 to 60 feet in
diameter. During the September 2017 investigation, Solidago rugosa was present all around the well with
a mix of Solidago rugosa, Scirpus cyperinus, and Juncus species nearby. Redox depletions and
concentrations were observed in the first 7 inches of the soil profile, indicators of rapid water movement
through the soil. The lack of hydrologic restoration success at this well could be due to drainage effects
from either the perimeter canal or the closest interior ditch; however, the interior ditches are plugged and
other wells in vicinity closer to interior ditches have met the hydrology criterion (e.g., PUM191, PUM199,
and PUM201) and the keyway installed in the perimeter berm appears to be an effective preventer of
lateral drainage effects from the perimeter canal (e.g., PUM192 and PUM103 have both met hydrology
criterion); so the higher elevation is the likely cause of no wetland hydroperiods.

SUMMARY
All eight wells in Phase 3, which have not met the hydrology restoration success criterion to date, are
mapped as underlain by hydric soil and met at least one hydric soil indicator during this investigation;
however, it is possible the soils at some of the wells are relict hydric soils.

Of the eight wells, PUM170 and 175 soil profiles matched the soil profile description from the county soil
survey. Both wells are located on the Dare soil series, which is described in the survey as typically muck
down to 60 inches, followed by sand and loamy sand textures. Muck was observed down to at least 24
inches, but the material was friable and indicates the soil was not saturated for extended periods. During
all rainfall conditions, PUM170 had a wetland hydroperiod for more than 10 percent of the growing
season for all four years (2014-2017); however, when periods of above normal rainfall were excluded,
PUM170 did not have a wetland hydroperiod for 10 percent of the growing season in 2016. PUM175 did
not have a wetland hydroperiod for 10 percent of the growing season from 2014-2017.
Also mapped as in Dare soil, PUM187 had a mucky mineral character only in the top 3 inches of the
profile followed by sandy loam and loamy sand. At this location, there could be a band of a different soil
series, perhaps Cape Fear fine sandy loam, which is a better match for the actual PUM187 soil profile
than Dare muck; Cape Fear is not a completely uncommon soil series along the upper reaches of some
Beaufort County creeks and streams. Google Earth historic photos and LiDAR data indicate the upper
basin of the original South Creek extended into the portion of Phase 3 between the north end of Gum and
Rodman roads; PUM187 lies just outside this upper basin/valley signature. Since the site was previously
used for silviculture, the native organic materials likely oxidized, other native soil characteristics were
altered, and trees were removed from the site more than once. Only a soil scientist would be able to
officially describe the soil profile of a drained Dare muck, e.g., how much oxidation and subsidence would
change a muck to a sandy loam. PUM187 had one wetland hydroperiod for more than 10 percent of the
growing season in 2015.
The Ponzer soil series is described as muck down to 24 inches, underlain by silt loam and silt clay
textures. The soil profile at PUM195 did not contain muck and had sandy clay loam, sandy loam, and
sand in the top 24 inches. It is possible that like PUM187, the original soil series is something other than
what shows in the soil survey as this location is also along the outside edge of the South Creek upper
basin/valley signature. And it is also likely that previous human activities such as movement of soil during
active forestry practices, or recent construction during restoration severely altered the soil at PUM195. No
wetland hydroperiods during the growing season were recorded at PUM195.
The Wasda soil series is described as muck for the first 14 inches, followed by a layer of clay loam to 42
inches, then sandy loam and sand to 74 inches. The three wells mapped as underlain by Wasda soil
series (PUM115, 116, and 129) lacked the top layers of muck, but had mucky mineral layers at the
beginning of the soil profiles and had more sandy textures than a typical Wasda soil. PUM115 and 116
had a wetland hydroperiod for more than 10 percent of the growing season in 2015; PUM129 had a
wetland hydroperiod for more than10 percent of the growing season in 2015 and 2017.
The soil textures at PUM113 were flipped compared to the soil survey description of typical Portsmouth
soil, suggesting alteration to the natural soil profile. A typical Portsmouth soil has sandy loam to 23
inches, followed by layers of sandy clay loam; PUM113 had sandy clay loam and sandy clay to 15 inches,
followed by loamy sand. Due to the proximity to a constructed berm and filled ditch as part of the
restoration activity in addition to past silviculture and drainage, the soil around PUM113 was disturbed.
PUM113 experienced a wetland hydroperiod for more than 10 percent of the growing season in 2015.
Five of the eight wells (PUM113, 115, 116, 187, and 195) are drier likely due to topographic differences or
disturbances which result from construction of the site. It is possible three wells (PUM170, 175, and 195)
are drier due to ditch effect, although it was difficult to confidently determine a cause. At PUM129, the
natural soil profile and its response to saturation was likely altered by frequent disturbance of large
equipment during construction and/or adjacency to an unplugged roadside ditch.
