I visited the Scout site last week and looked at a few areas that were discussed on the IRT site visit that may need to be
revisited. Attached are data forms and updated mapping. Please review and let us know if you have any additional
comments.
Potential streams (CH3 and CH4):
Both streams show up on the Davie County Soil series maps while only CH3 shows up on the USGS Farmington quad
map. Both streams were dry at the time of evaluation, but Brad mentioned that they were flowing during the site visit.
This did not affect the outcome of the stream calls when completing a DWR stream form. CH3 appeared to flow parallel
to the property boundary until its confluence with Hauser Creek but actually cuts in to the easement for the last 60 feet
or so. I completed a DWR stream form and was able to score it as an intermittent reach. CH4 (labeled "Ditch") was
ditched through the field once exiting the woods and then makes a hard turn at the fence line before entering the
easement. I was unable to reach an intermittent score based on a lack of points in the hydrology and geomorphology
sections. Please find stream forms and updated stream lengths in the table attached.
Potential wetland area to east of Hauser Creek:
According to older aerials, the area appears to have been mowed last between May 2015 and February 2017. Early
successional tree and herbaceous species were present such as sweetgum, tulip poplar, blackberry, goldenrod and
pokeweed. There was also a mix of some wetland species such as button bush, black willow, and common rush.
Although there were wetland species present, they were rarely dominant and only making up 5-15% of any stratum.
Soils were bright reddish brown (10YR 4/4 ) in the top 10 inches and really didn't show any signs of hydric inclusions
until well below 12 inches. There were some areas that did show depletion but they started too deep (^'14 in) in order to
meet the F3 Depleted Matrix indicator. The assessed area does not appear to be jurisdictional, but we do believe there
is potential for a small area of wetland restoration with the Priority 1 stream restoration. However, because the area is
relatively small (0.5 acre), and the depth to hydric soil is greater than 12 inches from the surface, we believe the
potential for wetland restoration is limited. For those reasons, we are not having a Licensed Soil Scientist investigate the
site and RES is not proposing wetland credit on the site.
Thanks,
