1.0 INTRODUCTION
Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA (S&EC) has been contracted by the North
Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) (formerly the Wetlands Restoration
Program,WRP) to restore and/or enhance approximately 1.9 acres of riparian (stream-
side) wetlands on the Charles Creek Park site in Elizabeth City, Pasquotank County, NC
See Figure 1 for a site vicinity map.
In August 2003, S&EC prepared a Conceptual Restoration Plan to gain concurrence from
then WRP, on our concept for the restoration and enhancement of these wetlands. At that
time we solicited additional comment and input from then WRP for incorporation into
this Restoration Plan.
® This report presents our design rationale and documentation for our proposed Restoration
Plan. Proposed site restoration includes the removal of fill, localized grading, and
planting the site to restore its wetland hydrology and vegetation, and the resultant habitat.
The interested reader is referred to the attached figures, appendices, and construction plan
sheets for additional information.
Additional effort will be needed for the preparation of construction specifications, bid
documents, construction and planting observation, preparation of record drawings, and
first year monitoring requirements. S&EC is currently under contract to provide these
services.

2.0 PROJECT GOALS
The specific goals of the Charles Creek Park wetland restoration effort are to:
1) Restore and/or create wetland function, vegetative structure, and wildlife habitat
to approximately 1.9 acres of lower coastal plain bald cypress-gum swamp,
2) Incorporate the restoration effort into the site's surrounding areas in an
aesthetically pleasing manner that does not mark a significant departure from
similar nearby cypress-gum swampland,
3) Retain valuable natural onsite assets (i.e., large existing bald cypress individuals)
and incorporate them into the site restoration, and
4) Incorporate the site into the Elizabeth City community in a manner that is
conducive to fostering public interest in wetland restoration.

3.0 PROJECT LOCATION
The Charles Creek Park Wetland Restoration site is located in the Pasquotank River
Basin, Hydrologic Cataloging Unit 03010205, along the southeast bank of Charles Creek
near its confluence with the Pasquotank River in Pasquotank County, NC.
The site is situated immediately northeast of the intersection of Southern Avenue and
Dawson Street in downtown Elizabeth City, NC. See the attached Site Location Map
(Figure 1) and the attached 7.5 minute series USGS Topographic Map, Elizabeth City,
NC (Figure 2) for specifics on directions to the site and its surrounding vicinity.
According to the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(NCDENR), Division of Water Quality (DWQ) website, Charles Creek (Stream Index
Number 30-3-11) is classified as a Class C and Sw watercourse. The following
definitions apply:
Class C - freshwaters protected for secondary recreation, fishing, aquatic life
including propagation and survival , and wildlife
Class Sw - swamp waters which have low velocities and other natural
characteristics which are different from adjacent streams
The site consists of a single tract, is currently owned by Elizabeth City, NC and functions
as a City Park (see attached Sheet 3 - Existing Site Plan), and is comprised of
approximately 1.9 acres.

4.0 WATERSHED INFORMATION
During our analyses we observe characteristics of the site and surrounding area, verify
surface and channel flow conditions, and observe existing water conveyance structures.
This section describes our evaluation of the project watershed.
4.1 Drainage Area
The watershed area for the project site is confined to the immediate project vicinity
bounded by Southern Avenue to the west, Dawson Street to the south, Hunter Street to
the east, and Tuscarora Avenue and Charles Creek itself to the north. These roads serve
as the watershed boundary due to their elevation relative to the remainder of the site.
Existing surface drainage swales and two existing culverts (one under Dawson Street and
one under Hunter Street) intercept or collect off-site runoff and direct it to two unnamed
tributaries of Charles Creek which run through the project site.
4.2 Land Usage & Distribution
Approximately one-third of the parcel is maintained, mown lawn and landscaped, area.
Notable site amenities include a small asphalt paved basketball court, a swing set and
playground area, and a small dock/boardwalk structure along Charles Creek, all located
on the west side of the tract. Immediately to the east of the basketball court, there is a
large, open maintained grassed area enclosed by Dawson Street to the south, Charles
Creek to the north, and one of the tributaries of Charles Creek to the east.
The remaining two-thirds of the property is predominately forested, with a narrow
grassed area adjacent to Dawson Street until its intersection with Hunter St. This area has
naturalized and primarily consists of multiple large diameter bald cypress with varying
understory species located along Charles Creek and the two previously noted unnamed
tributaries to the creek.
Topographically, the site is generally flat, sloped slightly near the Charles Creek
waterline (see attached Existing Site Plan). Topographic abnormalities include
landscaped/planted areas within the larger tract. Please refer to Appendix A for site
photos. Land usage surrounding the project site consists of single family residential lots
with intermixed commercial development.
4.3 Future Land Use
The project site is separated topographically, and in turn hydraulically from the
surrounding vicinity and watershed. Surface and channel flow from the surrounding area
is intercepted and routed through the site (described later in this report). Accordingly it is
our opinion that future changes in surrounding land usage and resultant hydrologic
changes are not likely to effect the site or the proposed restoration efforts.

5.0 EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS
Existing site hydraulic features consist of maintained grass-lined surface drainage swales,
boundary culverts (transporting discharges from off-site), and Charles Creek and the two
previously noted unnamed tributaries of Charles Creek. This section describes currently
existing site conditions at Charles Creek Park. See attached Existing Site Plan.
5.1 Existing Hydraulic Features
Based on their size (ranging from roughly 6-inches to 18-inches in depth) and location,
the existing swales were constructed to collect and remove local surface runoff from
select portions of the site and the surrounding area. The first of these swales is located
immediately to the east of the playground and basketball court and flows generally
northward to its outfall into Charles Creek. The second swale parallels Dawson Street,
immediately to the north, and flows generally eastward to its outfall into one of the
unnamed tributaries of Charles Creek.
The two unnamed tributaries both enter the site from culverts beneath boundary streets.
The first, culverted under Dawson Street through a 30-inch diameter corrugated metal
pipe (CMP), runs generally northward bisecting the property. This channel, ranging from
approximately 2.5 to 4.0 feet in depth (at top of bank) appears fairly stable with select
points exhibiting localized erosion. The channel width varies from approximately 10 feet
in width at the upstream culvert outfall to approximately 30 feet in width at its confluence
with Charles Creek.
The second channel, while less defined at its upper end is culverted under Hunter Street
through a small pipe of undetermined size. During our site visits we observed excessive
sedimentation within the pipe partially burying the downstream end of the culvert. This
channel runs generally westward paralleling Tuscarora Street. The channel, ranging from
approximately 0.5 to 4.0 feet in depth (at top of bank) also appears fairly stable. Select
points along the channel banks do exhibit localized erosion. The channel width varies
from approximately 2 feet in width at the upstream culvert outfall to approximately 30
feet in width at its confluence with Charles Creek.
Charles Creek proper serves as a portion of the northern property boundary varying in
width from roughly 50 feet to over 100 feet. The channel is tidally influenced with
depths along this boundary, while not verified, estimated at roughly 4 to 6 feet at mean
high water.
5.2 Site Soils
In the Pasquotank County Soil survey, on-site soils are mapped Mattapex fine sandy loam
in upland areas, predominately in the grassed areas to the east of the basketball court (see
Figure 3 - Site Soils Survey attached). Lower areas immediately adjacent to the stream
feature entering the tract from the south are mapped "swamp." The area in the vicinity of

the drain entering the site from the east at Hunter Street is mapped Bibb soils. Hand
auger borings and visual site assessment indicate that several inches of fill material
overlays the residual site soils.
The USDA's taxonomic class for Mattapex is fine-silty, mixed, active, mesic Aquic
Hapludults. Mattapex soils are moderately well drained and have moderately slow to
moderate permeability. They are formed in silty eolian sediments that are underlain by
coarser fluvial or marine sediments, and generally occur on gentle slopes bordering
drainageways.

r

u

The USDA classification for Bibb soils is coarse-loamy, siliceous, active, acid thermic
Typic Fluvaquents. Bibb soils are poorly drained and are moderately permeable, and are
formed in stratified loamy and sandy alluvium. They generally occur along floodplains,
and are frequently flooded, and are on the State and Federal hydric soils lists.
5.3 Existing Plant Community
In open areas onsite, crabgrass (Digitaria spp.) and fescue (Festuca spp.) predominate.
In open areas east of the tributary dividing the property, few ornamental trees have been
planted, including pecan (Carya illinoensis). There are several large bald cypress
(Taxodium distichutan) trees along the Charles Creek waterline, which are also present in
vegetated areas in the eastern portion of the site.
East of the tributary that enters Charles Creek from the south, there is a larger, contiguous
forested area along the Charles Creek waterline. The canopy of this area is dominated by
larger bald cypress trees. The shrub stratum, though not very dense, is composed of
younger bald cypress individuals, Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), black willow (Salix
nigra), wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera), few individuals of eastern red cedar (Juniperus
virginiana), and red maple (Ater rubrum). Blackberry (Rubes spp.) and swamp rose
(Rosa palustris) are also common. The herbaceous stratum is sparse, and primarily
includes giant cane (Arundinaria gigantean) and needle rush (Juncus spp.). Just west of
Hunter St. on the eastern edge of the property along the drainage feature, there is a small
pocket of common reed (Phragmites australis).
5.4 Threatened and Endangered Species
In order to assess potential impacts to any federal and state threatened and/or endangered
species the proposed restoration effort may pose, a review was conducted at the North
Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NHP) office. A two-mile radius of the site was
evaluated for known Elements of Occurrence (E.O.O.'s) of threatened/endangered
animals, and a five-mile radius was evaluated for threatened/endangered plants.
No Elements of Occurrence of threatened or endangered federal and state species were
located within the radii specified above. The closest Element of Occurrence of a
threatened/endangered animal to the site is an active bald eagle (Haliaectus
leucocephalus) nest approximately 3.5 miles east of the site across the Pasquotank River
6
in a marsh area. We believe that the proposed restoration work will have no adverse
effect on bald eagle nesting habitat, and will likely help to enhance local habitat quality.
5.5 Nearby Areas of Historical Significance
In order to determine potential impacts as a result of the proposed restoration effort at
Charles Creek Park to any nearby areas of historical significance, The State Historical
Preservation Office (SHPO) was contacted. According to Renee Gledhill-Earley at
SHPO, there are no nearby areas of historical significance that would be impacted by the
proposed work.

6.0 WETLAND EVALUATION
In order to facilitate restoration plan development as well as support project goals, two
off-site reference wetland areas were characterized. The reference wetland areas were
qualitatively assessed, and species lists for each vegetative stratum (trees, shrubs,
herbaceous, and vines) were recorded. This section describes our evaluation to date of
reference wetlands, our on site jurisdictional waters delineation, and existing groundwater
conditions.
6.1 Reference Wetlands
Both reference wetland areas occupy similar landscape positions to that of the Charles
Creek Park site. Both references are situated adjacent to Charles Creek and located
upstream of the restoration site.
6.1.1 Reference Wetland 1
Reference Wetland 1 is located east of Peartree Road behind Hollywood
Cemetery near the intersection of Peartree Road and South Road Street near the
Charles Creek Park site in Elizabeth City, NC. See Figure 4. This area appears to
flood with a very high frequency, as several large areas of standing water
(sloughs) were observed. In the Pasquotank County Soil survey, reference site
soils are mapped as "swamp." In areas of no standing water, soils were typically
saturated to the ground surface.
The canopy was dominated by bald cypress and few individuals of water tupelo
(Nyssa aquatica), with larger trees nearing 48-inch diameter at breast height
(dbh). Lower in the tree stratum, red maple and green ash (Fraxinus
pennsylvanica) were co-dominates. The shrub stratum was very sparse, and was
occupied primarily by arrow-wood (Viburnum dentatum) and highbush blueberry
(Vaccinium corymbosum), as well as saplings from species in the tree stratum.
Due to obvious frequent flooding, the herbaceous stratum was severely
underdeveloped, and only sparse upland grass species sprouts from the adjacent
cemetery were present. Vines included poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans),
greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia), laurel-leaved greenbrier (Smilax laurifolia), and
trumpet creeper (Campsis radicans). Exotic/invasive species included Chinese
privet in the shrub stratum and Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica).
6.1.2 Reference Wetland 2
Reference Wetland 2 is also located east of Peartree Road behind Oak Grove
Cemetery approximately 2000 ft. north of SR 1152 (Halstead Boulevard). See
Figure 4. This area appears to flood much less frequently than Reference Wetland
1, and although no areas of standing water were observed, soils were saturated to

the ground surface. In the Pasquotank County Soil survey, reference site soils are
mapped as "swamp."
Bald cypress and green ash shared co-dominance in the tree stratum, with
individuals sized approximately 18-24 inches dbli on average. Lower in the tree
stratum, green ash shared co-dominance with American elm (Ulmus americana)
and red maple.
The shrub stratum was occupied primarily by saplings from tree stratum species
and highbush blueberry. Lizard's tail (Saururus cernuus) was dense in the
herbaceous stratum, with broad-leaf arrow-head (Saggitaria latifolia) occurring to
a lesser extent. Vines included poison ivy, trumpet creeper, greenbrier, and
laurel-leaved greenbrier. Exotic/invasive species included Chinese privet and
Japanese honeysuckle.
It should be noted that hydrologic reference conditions were identified on the Charles
Creek Park site. Accordingly, as this data was immediately available on site, no
monitoring of wetland hydrology was performed on either of the reference sites.
6.2 Site Wetland Delineation
On July 8, 2004, Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA, performed the jurisdictional
waters delineation at the project site. Later that day we met with Ms. Tracey Wheeler of
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District to confirm our boundaries and
provide input. Based on that discussion we have prepared a sealed Wetland Delineation
Map, dated August 2, 2004. This map has been forwarded to Ms. Wheeler for signature.
A copy of this map is provided in Figure 5.
6.3 Site Groundwater Data
Our evaluation of site groundwater included the purchase, siting, and installation of a
series; of 40-inch groundwater monitoring gauges with data loggers. Gauge data was
downloaded for design use and incorporation into our Restoration Plan.
t A total of four (4) Infinities USA, Inc., data loggers (numbered PS 1 through PS 4) were
originally installed on the project site on February 27, 2003. Of these gauges, three were
installed to the east of Southern Avenue and one was installed to the west of Southern
' Avenue. The gauge to the west (PS 2) was subsequently removed when this parcel was
removed from the area proposed for work by EEP. The location for each of the
remaining installed gauges is shown on Sheet 3 - Existing Site Layout.

Of the three remaining gauges, two were installed in upland upland (presumed filled)
portions of the site (PSI and PS4). The third gauge, PS3, was installed as a local
reference gauge based on the results of our site investigation. This gauge was later used
in our determination of appropriate restoration activities (removal of fill and local
grading) described later in this report. Since their installation, these gauges have been

downloaded on a quarterly basis. To date all gauges have remained functional. Data
collected from these gauges is provided in Appendix C.
6.4 Site Rainfall Data
t Our site work also included the purchase, siting, and installation of one (1) 6.5-inch
diameter, 0.01-inch, self-emptying tipping bucket rain gauge data logger on site. The
location of the installed rain gauge is shown on Sheet 3 - Existing Site Layout. Data
collected from the rain gauge, also collected on a quarterly basis, is provided in
Appendix D.

7.0 WETLAND RESTORATION PLAN
Restoration and enhancement of the site will be accomplished by re-grading previously
filled wetland areas to their pre-disturbance grade and planting these and other denuded
wetland areas with native vegetation, using the two reference wetland areas identified as
a guideline. The interested reader is referred to Sheets 1 through 14 of the Restoration
Plan.
7.1 Demolition Plan
' Along the Charles Creek waterline, there are several areas of concrete, rubble, refuse, and
other similar debris. Similar areas were also observed just within the normal high water
line in eastern portions of the property, as well as along the stream bed of the tributary
entering the site from the south. These areas of debris will be cleared and removed from
the site. The fence posts demarcating the central area of the main tract as well as the
landscaped/gravel area in the middle of the main tract will also be removed during the
' site preparation phase of the restoration effort. All removed concrete rubble and other
material should be disposed of properly. Please refer to Sheet 4 - Demolition Plan sheet
for details.
7.2 Planned Hydrologic Modifications
' Site grading will proceed in accordance with the attached Grading Plan sheet. Grading
will be performed in a manner to restore wetland hydrology by lowering existing site
grade in selected areas closer to the existing water table, simultaneously enabling lateral
surface flow into the site from Charles Creek.
Two general grades are proposed. The first will occupy an elevation approximately 0.5-
' 1.0 ft (see Proposed Grading Plan sheet) which will be established adjacent to the Charles
Creek waterline, and maintained adjacent to the draw entering the site from the east at
Hunter Street. Planting unit A (see below and Planting Plan sheets) will occupy this
grade. The second grade will be established at an elevation ranging from 1.0-2.0 ft.,
which will be occupied by planting unit B.
' Some areas onsite already meet jurisdictional criteria (both hydrologic and vegetative) as
described on the Wetland Delineation Map previously described. These areas include the
area in the vicinity of the reference well (PS 3) and along the draw entering the site from
the east. These areas will be demarcated with tree protection fencing (see attached
Wetland Planting Plan and Grading Plan sheets) and will not be disturbed by grading
activities.
The proposed grading activities are described on Sheet 5 - Grading Plan. The currently
1 installed upland groundwater monitoring gauges and the rain gauge will be temporarily
removed during construction operations. The reference groundwater gauge will remain

11

in place. The rain gauge will be temporarily relocated to allow for the collection of data
throughout construction operations.
7.3 Vegetative Community Restoration
As proposed in the Restoration Plan previously submitted to NC-WRP, the site will be
planted in a manner to reconstruct the vegetative community and structure similar to
cypress-gum swamps described by Schafale and Weakley (1990) 1.
Two planting units (Unit A and Unit B) will be established on site. Additionally, a marsh
fringe will also be planted along the Charles Creek waterline to aid in stabilizing the site
following grading and enhance habitat by providing a transitional zone between the
deepwater habitat in Charles Creek and the cypress-gum swamp onsite. Each of the units
are discussed in further detail below.
7.3.1 Planting Units

LI

v

The first planting unit will be established adjacent to the Charles Creek waterline
on a contour approximately 0.5-1.0 ft. above the mean waterline. Several large
existing bald cypress trees will be retained within the first planting unit. The
second planting unit will be established on a contour approximately 0.5-1.0 ft. in
elevation higher than the first planting unit, and thus, will flood less frequently.
Planting Unit A
Planting Unit A will be established along the Charles Creek waterline and
carried along the backwater areas towards the eastern portions of the tract
along the drainage feature entering the site from the east at Hunter Street
(see Proposed Planting Plan). This unit will occupy the lower elevation
established onsite via grading, and inundation is anticipated to occur
frequently. Reference Wetland 1 (previously described) was used as a
template when developing this planting unit, as bald cypress and water
tupelo are the desired dominate species in the tree stratum. Table 1
displays the tree and shrub species that will be incorporated into Planting
Unit A.
Micro-topographic complexity will be emphasized within this planting
unit in order to maximize habitat diversity. Small, shallow backwater
sloughs will be dug during grading, and later planted with the following
floating and rooted aquatic species: White Water Lily (Nymphaea
odorata), Broad-Leaf Arrow-Head (Sagittaria latifolia), Lizard's Tail
(Saururus cernuus), Pickerel Weed (Pontedaria cordata), Yellow Cow-
Lily (Nuphar Luteum), and Stiff Arrow-Head (Sagittaria Rigida).

flood frequency. Planted species will reflect the expected decreased
frequency of inundation, and thus, the shrub stratum will be planted with a
greater density than in Planting Unit A. Table 2 displays the tree and
shrub species that will be incorporated into Planting Unit B.

Please refer to the attached Planting Plan, Planting Details, and Planting
Schedule regarding quantities and other details for Planting Unit B.
NOTE: All plantings performed on site will adhere to the NC4VRP planting
specifications.
7.3.2 Marsh Fringe
An approximately 10 to 15 ft. wide marsh fringe is proposed along the waterline
of Charles Creek adjacent to planting unit A (see Proposed Planting Plan sheet).
This area will be planted with live propagules and bare-root seedlings of Uptight
Sedge (Carex stricta), Soft Rush (Juncus effusus), Olney's Bulrush (Scirpus
americanus), Wool-Grass (Scirpus Cyperinus), and Soft-Stem Bulrush (Scirpus
Validus). Please refer to the marsh fringe Planting Schedule shown in the plan
sheets for additional details.
7.3.3 Retention of Large Bald Cypress Trees
Retaining as many of the larger bald cypress trees onsite is a priority of the
restoration effort. In order to assess the feasibility of performing grading work
near the root systems of these trees without increasing the risk of mortality and/or
disease, Dr. William Conner, a bald cypress silvics expert from Clemson
University, was contacted. Dr. Conner recommended retaining as much root mass
as possible in the vicinity of the retained trees, and limiting grading activity
within the immediate vicinity.
As shown in the Planting Plan, an approximate 40- foot radius around each of the
bald cypress individuals to be retained along the Charles Creek waterline in the
restoration plan has been established where grading work will be severely limited.
These areas will effectively become cypress "islands" and will help to enhance
microhabitat and micro-topographical complexity within the site. There are also
several large bald cypress individuals in the eastern portion of the site that will be
14
retained to the maximum extent possible, although many of the larger existing
trees may not be shown on the Proposed Planting Plan.
Larger individual cypress trees to be retained as part of the restoration effort will
be identified on site prior to construction. Tree protection fencing will be
installed around the individuals to be retained as well as the larger areas of
established cypress and other desirable native species in the eastern and northern
portions of the site.
Details of the proposed restoration planting plan are included on Sheets 6, 8, 9, 10, and
11 of the attached plans.
7.4 Soil Restoration
During grading of site, topsoil will be removed and stockpiled. Topsoil is to be
redistributed across planting areas during final grading. Topsoil will be stored in an
appropriate manner by contractor to avoid erosion and off site sedimentation. Based on
existing site uses and our understanding of previous site modifications we have no
indication that underlying site soils are overly compacted. Accordingly current plans do
not call for specific modification or soil restoration efforts (amendments and/or
scarification) of the existing site soils once grading operations are complete. If however,
upon completion of grading operations, areas of compacted soils are observed, localized
restoration efforts may be employed i.e.: scarification, addition of topsoil, mulch, or other
organics. Amendments will not be added to areas where inundation may occur and
transport this material off site. Extreme care will be necessary so as not to disturb the
root structure of the retained cypress trees described above.
7.5 Removal of Invasive or Undesirable Species
During site preparation, an effort will be made to remove existing exotic/invasive
vegetation within project boundaries. Site-specific species targeted for removal primarily
include common reed (Phragmites spp.), Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinelzse), and
Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica). Invasive species will be field-identified by
S&EC staff and mechanically removed and/or treated locally with a glyphosate-based
herbicide (such as Rodeo(V). Subsequent site visits should be performed following
construction to evaluate Phragmites regrowth and perform spot treatments as needed.
7.6 Erosion & Sediment Control
Since the total disturbed/denuded area as a result of restoration plan implementation will
exceed one (1.0) acre, a Erosion and Sediment (E&S) Control Permit will be required.
Sediment and erosion control measures will be installed by the Contractor prior to
commencing site grading activities. Due to the proximity of grading operations to
Charles Creek, extra care should be employed by the contractor to check all E&S control
measures at the end of each day and make necessary repairs or additions. Contractor
should also inspect all E&S control measures after periods of extended rainfall or
15
significant rainfall events (>0.5 inches). Contractor should repair and stabilize exposed
surfaces immediately, and remove and properly dispose of accumulated sediment in
turbidity curtain, silt fence, etc. after these events. Site E&S control measures will
include turbidity curtains, silt fence, rock check dams, matting, and temporary and
permanent seeding. The contractor shall employ the following E&S control sequence
prior to grading:
Erosion and Sedimentation Control Sequence
1. Establish staging area as directed by the Owner. Contractor will be
responsible for installing necessary E&S control measures at staging area (parking
area stabilization, silt fence, or other measures as contractor deems necessary).
Establish temporary construction entrances to site.
2. Install sediment and erosion control measures including silt fencing
and turbidity / silt curtain as shown on Sheet 12. Once tidal sloughs have been
graded, silt fence crossing tidal sloughs will be contoured across the channel, and
rock check dams will be hand placed by contractor as shown on Sheet 13.
3. Remove concrete debris, refuse, and other materials as specified
in the site's demolition plan. Clear and grub in required areas for
wetland area grading and planting.
4. Temporary seeding will be applied to areas that are not at final grade and will be
exposed for greater than two (2) weeks.
5. After final grading is complete, permanent seeding will be applied to all exposed
areas. Erosion control matting will be applied to all final graded sloped steeper
than 2H:1 V. Permanent seeding and matting will be installed incrementally as
soon as an area reaches final grade.
6. Remove temporary sediment and erosion control measures. The contractor shall
remove accumulated sediment prior to removal of turbidity curtain, silt fence, or
other measures.
' This E&S control sequence is also reflected in the plan sheets. Also refer to the
Construction Sequence, Sediment and Erosion Control Plan, and Sediment and Erosion
Control Details sheets attached.
7.7 Construction Sequence
All aspects of site construction and planting operations will be supervised by a qualified
representative of Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA (S&EC). The daily sequence of
events shall be determined and approved by S&EC professional staff. It will be the
Contractor's responsibility to have the appropriate equipment and personnel on site to
16
perform the tasks based on the project schedule. If potential conflicts arise, the
Contractor shall notify the Designer immediately so that adjustments can be made.
The following construction sequence shall be used during construction:
Construction Sequence
1. Obtain local authority approval for construction.
2. Contact NC One Call to locate and mark existing utilities on site.
3. Establish staging area as directed by the Owner. Contractor will be
responsible for installing necessary E&S control measures at staging area (parking
area stabilization, silt fence, or other measures as contractor deems necessary).
Mobilize equipment and materials to the staging area. Establish temporary
construction entrances to site.
4. Install sediment and erosion control measures including silt fencing and
turbidity/silt curtain. Install tree protection fencing as directed by Designer.
5. Remove concrete debris, refuse, and other materials as specified in the site's
Demolition Plan. Clear and grub in required areas for wetland area grading and
planting. Remove trees as well as exotic and invasive species as directed by the
Designer.
6. Verify grading depths and extents. Initiate grading of wetland areas starting along
the Charles Creek waterline, working back towards Dawson and Hunter Streets.
Extreme caution shall be used when working near existing bald cypress trees.
7. Apply temporary sediment and erosion control seeding measures.
8. Perform wetland planting. Apply permanent seeding measures.
9. Remove temporary sediment and erosion control measures after groundcover is
established and site is stabilized.
10. Conduct final site inspection with the Contractor, Owner, and Designer.
' 7.8 Future Site Maintenance
A site tour should be performed after the completion of construction and permanent
seeding and planting. Representatives from the design firm, EEP, and Elizabeth City
should attend this tour to see the boundaries of site planting and discuss future site
maintenance operations that will ensure the protection of trees, shrubs, and plants
installed as part of this project.

8.0 WETLAND SUCCESS CRITERIA & MONITORING PLAN
This section includes information concerning hydrologic and vegetative success criteria,
physical evaluation of the site, and the proposed monitoring schedule.
8.1 Hydrologic Success Criteria
In order to ensure hydrologic success, groundwater elevation monitoring will be
conducted annually on site for a 5-year period. The monitoring period will commence
immediately upon the completion of site construction and planting efforts.
As previously noted, the Infinities groundwater monitoring gages will remain in place or
be re-installed immediately following the completion of site grading and planting
operations. Three (3) gages will be installed on site, two (2) in the vicinity of their pre-
monitoring period locations, and one (1) to be installed at a location determined after the
completion of construction. One (1) gauge (PS 3) will remain in the hydrologic reference
area already established on-site. The existing site rain gauge will be relocated and remain
on site during the monitoring period.
In order to meet wetland hydrology, the groundwater table will need to be within the
upper twelve (12) inches of the ground surface for a period of consecutive days equal to
8.5% of the growing season. According to the Pasquotank County Soil Survey, the
average growing season (number of frost-free days) is approximately 208 days long,
lasting from April 7`h to November I".
Accordingly, a groundwater monitoring gauge will be considered to meet hydrologic
success criteria if hydrology is met for a period of 18 straight days (rounded up from 17.7
days) during the growing season.
8.2 Vegetative Success Criteria
In order to ensure vegetative success, vegetative monitoring will be conducted annually
on site for a 5-year period. The monitoring period will commence immediately upon the
completion of site construction and planting efforts.
Three (3) 10-meter square sample plots will be established on site, each plot offset 2
meters from each gauge positioned within the restoration area. A single 10-meter square
reference sample plot will be established on site coincident with the reference gauge.
Typically in order for the site to be considered a success, survivability of planted
vegetation must exceed 260 stems per acre with no one species comprising more than
20% of the total stem count. However, it is our opinion that owing to the inherent lack of
diversity within natural cypress-gum swamp wetlands, the traditional vegetative success
criteria is not an appropriate metric by which to evaluate site criteria. We recommend
that vegetative success be quantified differently for the project, such that vegetation still
18
must exceed 260 stems per acre, but that no one species should comprise more than 60%
of the entire stem count.
A vegetative success criteria of 75% coverage will be required at the end of the 5-year
period for the fringe marsh species. This coverage will be based on observation of the
planted fringe zones.
During monitoring site visits an evaluation of Phragmites and other invasive or
undesirable species will be performed and recommendations made regarding necessary
removal or treatments.
8.3 Physical Success
An as-built engineering survey of the site will be conducted upon completion of the site
restoration work to ensure that site grading and planting work was performed in a manner
consistent with the approved Restoration Plan.
During site monitoring visits, the site will be walked and all graded areas will be
inspected for stability. If areas of instability are observed, they will be noted and repair
recommendations prepared. A photographic record of the site will be collected during
each site visit. Photo points at key locations on site and at the corners of our vegetative
monitoring plots.
¦ 8.4 Monitoring Schedule
As previously described, to ensure hydrologic and vegetative success, success monitoring
will be conducted annually on site for a period of five (5) years from the implementation
of the restoration plan.
The site will be visited on a quarterly basis. During each of these site visits groundwater
monitoring gauges and the rain gauge will be downloaded and gauges evaluated to ensure
proper function. A plant survivability survey will be performed at the end of each year
on each of the three plots (2 restoration plots, 1 reference plot, and marsh fringe). During
site visits a general evaluation (by observation) of the site will be performed and record
photographs will be taken.
An Annual Monitoring Report will be prepared at the end of each year of monitoring.
This report will be submitted to EEP for review. The monitoring report will summarize
the general site conditions, the results of hydrologic and vegetative monitoring, and
recommendations for necessary maintenance.

CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE:
1. Obtain local authority approval for construction.
2. Contact NC One Call to locate 4 mark existing utilities on site.
3. Establish staging area as directed by the Owner. Contractor will be responsible for mstalhng necessary
E6 control measures at staging area (parking area stabilization, sift fence, or other measures as contractor
deems necessary). Mobilize equipment and materials to the staging area. Establish temporary construction
entrances to site.
4. Install sediment and erosion control measures including silt fencing and turbidity I silt curtain. Install tree
protection fencing as directed by Designer.
5. Remove concrete debris, refuse, and other materials as speufied in the site's demolition plan. Clear and
grvb in required areas for wetland area grading and planting. Remove trees as well as exotic and invaswe
species as directed by the Designer.
G. Verify grading depths and extents. Initiate grading of wetland areas starting along the Charles Creek
waterline, working back towards Dawson and Hunter Streets. Extreme caution shall be used when working
near existing bald cypress trees.
7. Apply temporary sediment and erosion control seeding measures.
8. Perform wetland planting. Apply permanent seeding measures.
9. Remove temporary sediment and erosion control measures.
10. Conduct final site mspection with the Owner and Designer.
ER0510N AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL SEQUENCE:
1. Establish staging area as directed by the Owner. Contractor will be responsible for installing necessary
E6 control measures at staging area (parking area stablvation, silt fence, or other measures as contractor
deems necessary). Establish temporary construction entrances to site.
2. Install sediment and erosion control measures including silt fencing and turbidity I silt curtain as shown
on Sheet 12. Once tidal sloughs have been graded, silt fence crossing tidal sloughs will be contoured
across the channel, and rock check dams will be hand placed by contractor as shown on Sheet 13.
3. Remove concrete debris, refuse, and other materials as specified in the site's demolition plan. Clear and
grub in required areas for wetland area grading and planting.
4. Temporary seeding will be applied to areas that are not at final grade and will be exposed for greater
than two (2) weeks.
5. After final grading is complete, permanent seeding will be applied to all exposed areas. Erosion control
matting will be applied to all final graded sloped steeper than 2H: I V. Permanent seeding and matting will be
installed incrementally as soon as an area reaches final grade.
G. Remove temporary sediment and erosion control measures. The contractor shall remove accumulated
sediment prior to removal of turtmdity curtain, silt fence, or other measures.
• Due to the proximity of grading operations to Charles Creek, extra care should be employed by the
contractor to check all E6 control measures at the end of each day and make necessary repairs. Contractor
should also inspect all Et5 control measures after periods of extended rainfall or significant rainfall events
(>0.5 Inches). Contractor should repair and stable exposed surfaces immediately, and remove and
properly dispose of accumulated sediment turbidity curtain, silt fence, etc. after these events.

VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
Page 9 of 13
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.

Completed: Desktop determination Date:
Site visit(s) Date(s): 07/08/2004
Jurisdictional Determination (JD):
Preliminary JD -Based on available information,[] there appear to be (or) ? there appear to be no "waters of the United States"
and/or "navigable waters of the United States" on the project site. A preliminary JD is not appealable (Reference 33 CFR part
331).
Approved JD -An approved JD is an appealable action (Reference 33 CFR part 331).
Check all that apply:
91 There are "navigable waters of the United States" (as defined by 33 CFR part 329 and associated guidance) within the reviewed
area. Approximate size of jurisdictional area: 0.15 acres.
($ There are "waters of the United States" (as defined by 33 CFR part 328 and associated guidance) within the reviewed area.
Approximate size of jurisdictional area: 0.77 acres.
There are "isolated, non-navigable, intro-state waters or wetlands" within the reviewed area.
Decision supported by SWANCC/Migratory Bird Rule Information Sheet for Determination of No Jurisdiction.
BASIS OF JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION:
A. Waters defined under 33 CFR part 329 as "navigable waters of the United States":
The presence of waters that are subject to the ebb and flow of the tide and/or are presently used, or have been used in
the past, or may be susceptible for use to transport interstate or foreign commerce.
B. Waters defined under 33 CFR part 328.3(a) as "waters of the United States":
(1) The presence of waters, which are currently used, or were used in the past, or may be susceptible to use in
interstate or foreign commerce, including all waters which are subject to the ebb and flow of the tide.
[] (2) The presence of interstate waters including interstate wetlands.
(3) The presence of other waters such as intrastate lakes, rivers, streams (including intermittent streams), mudflats, sandflats,
wetlands, sloughs, prairie potholes, wet meadows, playa lakes, or natural ponds, the use, degradation or destruction of which could
affect interstate commerce including any such waters (check all that apply):
? (i) which are or could be used by interstate or foreign travelers for recreational or other purposes.
? (ii) from which fish or shellfish are or could be taken and sold in interstate or foreign commerce.
? (iii) which are or could be used for industrial purposes by industries in interstate commerce.
Q (4) Impoundments of waters otherwise defined as waters of the US.
(5) The presence of a tributary to a water identified in (1) - (4) above.
(6) The presence of territorial seas.
(7) The presence of wetlands adjacentZ to other waters of the US, except for those wetlands adjacent to other wetlands.
Rationale for the Basis of Jurisdictional Determination (applies to any boxes checked above). If the jurisdictional water or
wetland is not itself a navigable water of the United States, describe connection(s) to the downstream navigable waters. IfB(1) or B(3)
is used as the Basis of Jurisdiction, document navigability and/or interstate commerce connection (i.e., discuss site conditions, including
why the waterbody is navigable and/or how the destruction of the waterbody could affect interstate or foreign commerce). IJB(2, 4, 5 or
6) is used as the Basis of Jurisdiction, document the rationale used to make the determination. If B(7) is used as the Basis of
Jurisdiction, document the rationale used to make adjacency determination: Wetland is adjacent to Charles Creek, a tributary to the
Pasquotan River which flows into the Albemarle Sound.
Lateral Extent of Jurisdiction: (Reference: 33 C;FR parts 328 and 329)
Ordinary High Water Mark indicated by: ? High Tide Line indicated by:
? clear, natural line impressed on the bank ? oil or scum line along shore objects
? the presence of litter and debris ? fine shell or debris deposits (foreshore)

Basis For Not Asserting Jurisdiction:
? The reviewed area consists entirely of uplands.
[} Unable to confirm the presence of waters in 33 CFR part 328(a)(1, 2, or 4-7).
Headquarters declined to approve jurisdiction on the basis of 33 CFR part 328.3(a)(3).
The Corps has made a case-specific determination that the following waters present on the site are not Waters of the tlnited States:
? Waste treatment systems, including treatment ponds or lagoons, pursuant to 33 CFR part 328.3.
? Artificially irrigated areas, which would revert to upland if the irrigation ceased.
? Artificial lakes and ponds created by excavating and/or diking dry land to collect and
retain water and which are used exclusively for such purposes as stock watering, irrigation, settling basins, or rice growing.
? Artificial reflecting or swimming pools or other small ornamental bodies of water created
by excavating and/or diking dry land to retain water for primarily aesthetic reasons.
? Water-filled depressions created in dry land incidental to construction activity and pits excavated in dry land for the purpose
of obtaining fill, sand, or gravel unless and until the construction or excavation operation is abandoned and the resulting
body of water meets the definition of waters of the United States found at 33 CFR 328.3(a).
? Isolated, intrastate wetland with no nexus to interstate commerce.
Prior converted cropland, as determined by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. Explain rationale:
? Non-tidal drainage or irrigation ditches excavated on dry land. Explain rationale:
