Southeast Regional Manager 2530 Meridian Parkway, Suite 200 Durham, North Carolina 27713 Dear Mr. Rinker: 1??f r-91== U S r °: ; : &A 2006 DE NR D?l- AillyIt)I'tr??i,ei; e,rv'dGH This correspondence is in reference to the Marston Wetland and Stream Mitigation Site you are developing located on the north side of NC 41, approximately twelve miles west of Trenton, in Jones County, North Carolina. The purpose of this letter is to confirm the initial release of credits and the subsequent status of mitigation credits available from this Bank. Pursuant to the Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI) entitled, Neu-Con Umbrella Wetland Mitigation and Stream Restoration Bank, dated March 8, 2001, fifteen percent (15%) of the Bank's total restoration credits shall be available for sale immediately upon completion of all of the following: a. Execution of the MBI by the Sponsor, the Corps, and other agencies eligible for membership in the MBRT who chose to execute the agreement. b. Approval of the final mitigation plan. c. Delivery of the financial assurance described in section III, part F, paragraph 1 of the MBI. d. Recordation of the preservation mechanism described in section III, part G of the MBI, as well as a title opinion covering the property acceptable to the Corps. Additionally, based upon review of the monitoring reports and an onsite inspection conducted August 15, 2006, we have determined that the success criteria for the site as a whole have been met for years one and two. However, based on our review of the monitoring reports and our August 15, 2006 site inspection, we have concerns with the M3 area of the site. Planted trees in -2- a 1.5 to 2 acre area have been out-competed by Lespedeza. Immediate and aggressive remedial action is recommended to alleviate the Lespedeza invasiveness and bring this area back into compliance with the vegetation success criterion. If it is determined that this area continues to fall below the success threshold, future credit releases may reflect this deficiency. By copy of this correspondence, we confirm that you have satisfied the above requirements for initial release; year 1 and 2 release and 14.7 wetland credits constituting 35% of the Bank's total restoration/enhancement credits are now for sale. Additionally, 2,246 linear feet of stream credits constituting 35% of the Bank's total restoration credits are now available for sale. Additionally, pursuant to the Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI) entitled, Neu-Con Umbrella Wetland Mitigation and Stream Restoration Bank, dated March 8, 2001, for preservation acreage, the projected credit total shall be available for sale and debiting, provided the restoration requirements have been met and the following minimum requirements have been satisfied with regard to the Bank: a. The Banking Instrument is executed and the Site Specific Mitigation Plan has been approved by the MBRT. b. Credits are established consistent with Section I.F.3 of the MBI and the Site Specific Mitigation Plan. c. A conservation easement is placed on the Bank Site or approved phase of a Bank Site that generates the preservation credits. d. Appropriate financial assurances of a type and amount acceptable to the Corps and the MBRT have been established, only if such preservation acreage is used in conjunction with restoration, creation or enhancement acreage and such financial assurance is necessary for the restoration, creation and enhancement acreage. By copy of this correspondence, we confirm that you have satisfied the above requirements and 26 credits (preservation) are available for use provided they follow the guidelines established in Section I.F.4 of the MBI. These guidelines require that for every one-acre of wetland impacts authorized by a Section 404 permit, two credits will be debited from the Bank., One of those ; credits must be a restoration credit and the remaining credit may be made up.of any combination of restoration, enhancement, creation or preservation credits, as selected by the sponsor and approved by the Corps during its permit process. 2 -3- Thank you for your time and cooperation.

Stream Monitoring Data ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2005 (YEAR 2) Marston Mitigation Site 1.0 SUMMARY This Annual Report details the monitoring activities during the 2005 growing season on the Marston Mitigation Site. Construction of the site, including planting of trees, was completed in March 2004. The 2005 data represent results from Year 2 of hydrologic and vegetation monitoring for both wetlands and streams. The design for the Marston property involved the restoration of a Coastal Plain small stream swamp as described by Schafale and Weakley (1990). The Coastal Plain small stream swamp communities exist as the floodplains of small blackwater streams in which separate fluvial features and associated vegetation are too small or poorly developed to distinguish. After construction, it was determined that 6,416 feet of stream and 37.7 acres of wetland hydrology were restored. An additional 8.6 acres of wetlands were enhanced on the northern end of the project. This Annual Report presents the data from six hydrologic monitoring stations, eight vegetation monitoring stations, and stream monitoring, as required by the approved Mitigation Plan for the site. Three of the hydrologic stations are equipped with manual groundwater gauges and three stations are equipped with automated gauges and a manual calibration gauge. Additionally, the gauges are used as points from which photographs are taken over time. Weather station data from the Trenton and Kinston Weather Stations were used in conjunction with a manual rain gauge located on the site to document precipitation amounts. The manual gauge is used to validate observations made at the automated station. For the 2005 growing season, lower than average rainfall totals were documented on the mitigation site. In 2005, all six hydrology monitoring gauges met the hydrologic success criteria, based on field observations. Based on these results, it was concluded that the site is performing as designed and is mimicking conditions documented on the wetland reference site. Eight monitoring plots 0.1 acre in size were used to predict survivability of the woody vegetation planted on site. The vegetation monitoring indicated survival rates between 260 and 610 stems per acre. Due to extensive beaver herbivory, supplemental trees were planted within highly localized areas near Plots 1 through 3, concurrent with the management of beavers on the site and adjacent properties. The site is on track for meeting the initial vegetation survival criteria of 320 stems per acre surviving after the third growing season with the exception of a small localized occurrence of Lespedeza that has out-competed trees in Plot 3. Pending approval by the MBRT, the 1.5 to 2 acre area will be managed to minimize the Lespedeza and a supplemental planting will occur. 2.0 INTRODUCTION 2.1 Project Description Located in Jones County, the Marston Mitigation Site encompasses approximately 176 acres. It is located approximately twelve miles west of the town of Trenton, North Carolina (Figure 1). This project provides compensatory mitigation for stream and wetland impacts associated within the resident hydrologic unit. The Marston site is designed to restore a Coastal Plain small stream, swamp as described by Schafale and Weakley (1990). The Coastal Plain small stream swamp communities exist as the floodplains of small blackwater streams in which separate fluvial features and associated vegetation are too small or poorly developed to distinguish. Construction at the site was completed in February 2004, with 58 acres of vegetation planted by March 2004. Groundwater, surface water, and rain gauges were functional beginning March 15, 2004. The 2005 monitoring season represents Year 2 of monitoring for the site. 2.2 Purpose Monitoring of the Marston Site is required to demonstrate successful mitigation based on the criteria found in the Mitigation Plan, the Neu-Con Umbrella Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank Instrument, and through a comparison to reference site conditions. Hydrologic, vegetation, and stream monitoring are conducted on an annual basis. Success criteria must be met for five consecutive years. This Annual Monitoring Report details the results of the monitoring efforts for 2005 (Year 2) at the Marston Mitigation Site. 2.3 Project History June 2001 November 2003 December 2003 February 2004 March 2004 March 2004 November 2004 November 2005 November 2006 (scheduled) Pre-restoration Monitoring Wells Installed Construction Began Approved Mitigation Plan Construction Completed Planting Completed Post-Construction Monitoring Wells Installed 1 st Annual Monitoring Report 2nd Annual Monitoring Report 3rd Annual Monitoring Report November 2007 (scheduled) 4th Annual Monitoring Report November 2008 (scheduled) 5th Annual Monitoring Report 2 Environmental Banc & Exchange, LLC 220 Chatham Business Drive Pittsboro, NC 27312 FJONES CO Figurel: Site Location for Marston Mitigation Site LOW CO 0 1.5 3 6 9Miles Figure 1. Location of Marston Wetland and Stream Mitigation Site. 3 3.0 HYDROLOGY 3.1 Success Criteria As stated in the approved Mitigation Plan, the hydrologic success criterion for the site is to restore the water table at the site so that it will remain within 12 inches of the soil surface for at least 7 percent of the growing season continuously (approximately 17 days). The day counts are based on the growing season for Jones County, which is 232 days long, beginning on March 20 and ending November 7, as calculated from National Weather Service Wetlands Determination Tables (WETS) for Jones County. As specified in the approved Mitigation Plan, data are collected from three automated and three manual groundwater gauges. The Mitigation Plan further specified that in order for the hydrologic data to be considered successful, it must demonstrate wetland conditions are present in normal or dryer than normal conditions. During the 2005 growing season, lower than normal rainfall amounts were documented on the restoration site. Monitoring data from the reference site demonstrate positive correlations between the restoration site and the natural hydrology of the target system. 3.2 Description of Hydrologic Monitoring Efforts Three manual groundwater gauges, three automated Infinities groundwater gauges, and one rain gauge were installed prior to the beginning of the first growing season (Figure 2). Groundwater gauges, both manual and automated, were installed to a minimum depth of at least 40 inches below the ground surface. The monitoring protocol for the site specifies that automated monitoring stations will be downloaded and checked for malfunctions on a monthly basis. During monthly site visits, manual groundwater gauges are read and rainfall totals are collected from the on-site rain gauge. During the 2005 growing season, all three automated loggers performed well and no periods of missing data were encountered. 4 'PROJECT. 070 AIARSTON °I _N o o _ OrEj r I ?" m 0 r / n o ( I Ie 56 ni to n -cn O o o a m n ?

The results of these calculations are presented in Table 1. Figure 3 provides a chart of the water depth for each of the monitoring gauges on the site. Precipitation is shown across the top of the graph. This graph demonstrates the reaction at each monitoring location of the groundwater level to specific rainfall events. Raw hydrograph data collected from the monitoring gauges is provided in Appendix A (on CD). The site was designed to function as a riparian wetland system with associated wet flats. Hydrology in the riparian areas is driven primarily by groundwater discharge and overbank flooding, while precipitation is the primary hydrologic influence in wet flat areas. Monitoring data indicate that the site is functioning as designed, with varying degrees of wetness and saturation across the site. All gauges have exceeded the 7 percent hydrologic success criteria. Actual hydroperiods experienced across the site during 2005 ranged from 15 to 39 percent of the growing season, which is consistent with the expected conditions for this type of wetland ecosystem.

Indicates the cumulative number of days within the monitored growing season with a water table less than 12 inches from the soil surface. 3. Indicates the number of instances within the monitored growing season when the water table rose to less than 12 inches from the soil surface. 4. Groundwater gauge A-Ml and A-M2 are manual gauges. Hydrologic parameters are estimated based on data from gauge Al; however wetter conditions were documented at both M1 and M2 as compared to Al. 5. Groundwater gauge M3 is a manual gauge. Hydrologic parameters are estimated based on data from gauge A3, however slightly dryer conditions were documented at M3 during certain times of the year than A3. 11 The model simulations performed during the design phase of the project indicated that the entire site would range from slightly higher than the minimum wetland criteria of 5 percent to more saturated areas that would exceed 12.5 percent. As the data collected for 2005 indicate, the site is performing as described in the Mitigation Plan, with varying degrees of wetness documented and the entire site exceeding the stated criteria of 7 percent. The approved Mitigation Plan provides that if the rainfall data for any given year during the monitoring period is not normal, the reference wetland data can be accessed to determine if there is a positive correlation between the performance of the restoration site and the natural hydrology of the reference site. Though the hydrology criteria were met during the 2005 growing season, rainfall totals were below normal, the reference data are provided below for comparison. Data from the reference site are compared to restoration site data in Figure 3. Data from the reference wetland groundwater gauge show a positive correlation with the automated groundwater gauges located on the restoration site. The automated gauges from the restoration site and the reference wetland demonstrate the similarity of the hydrologic response to rainfall events. Although the sites are located relatively close to each other, a difference in the timing and magnitude of rainfall events is clear from the hydrograph data. Total rainfall amounts during the monitoring period at the Webb Reference Site and the mitigation site were very similar. 12 O N M O LO O O r C O N .

Historic data presented were collected from an automated weather station in Trenton. Data were not available for the entire growing season for the Trenton rain gauge. Missing data were supplemented with data from a rain gauge in Kinston, NC. During the period that rainfall measurements were collected on-site (March 10 through September 6), the rainfall total from the Trenton and Kinston gauges (24.05 inches) correlates well with data collected from the onsite manual rain gauge (21 inches). In general, monthly rainfall amounts for the area were 4.8 inches lower then the long-term average for the growing season. For the period from January thru September 2005 total rainfall was approximately 10 inches less than the long-term average. Monthly rainfall for October was missing data between the October third and twenty-third. Data for November and December 2005 were not available at the time this report was compiled. Table 2.

The site is performing as designed and predicted, with varying degrees of saturation across the site. In general, the site exhibits flashy hydrographs that are typical of the soils and hydrology of the targeted wetland system, since similar trends have been documented on the reference site. 15 4.0 VEGETATION 4.1 Success Criteria The interim measure of vegetative success identified in the approved Mitigation Plan will be the survival of at least 320 3-year-old trees per acre at the end of Year 3 of the monitoring period. The final vegetative success criteria will be the survival of 260 5-year-old trees per acre at the end of the monitoring period. Up to 20 percent of the site species composition may be comprised of invaders. Remedial action may be required should these (i.e. loblolly pine, red maple, sweet gum, etc.) present a problem and exceed 20 percent of the total count. Construction of the site, planting of bare root trees, and spreading of the permanent seed mixture was completed in March 2004. 4.2 Description of Species and Monitoring Protocol Table 3. Tree Species Planted in the Marston Wetland Restoration Area. ID Scientific Name Common Name FAC Status 1 Nyssa biflora Swamp Tupelo OBL 2 Nyssa sylvatica Blackgum FAC 3 Quercus lyrata Swamp White Oak OBL 4 Quercus michauxii Swamp Chestnut Oak FACW- 5 Quercus phellos Coastal Willow Oak FACW- 6 Taxodium distichum Bald Cypress OBL The following monitoring protocol was designed to predict vegetative survivability. Eight plots were established on the Marston Mitigation Site, to monitor approximately 2 percent of the site. The vegetation monitoring plots were designed to be 0.1 acre in size, or 66' x 66' dimensionally. The plots were randomly located and randomly oriented within the wetland restoration area. Plot construction involved using metal fence posts at each of the four corners to clearly and permanently establish the area that was to be sampled. Then ropes were hung connecting all four corners to help in determining if trees close to the plot boundary were inside or outside of the plot. Trees immediately on the boundary, and trees just outside of the boundary that appear to have greater than 50 percent of their canopy inside the boundary were counted as inside the plot. A piece of white PVC pipe ten feet tall was placed over the metal post on one corner to facilitate visual location of site throughout the five-year monitoring period. All of the planted stems inside the plot were flagged to mark them as the planted stems (vs. any colonizers) and to help in locating them in the future. Each stem was then tagged with a permanent, numbered aluminum tag. 4.3 Results of Vegetative Monitoring Table 4 presents stem counts for each of the monitoring stations. Each planted tree species is identified across the top row and each plot is identified down the left column. The numbers on the top row correlate to the ID column given in Table 3. Trees are flagged in the field on a quarterly basis before the flags degrade. Flags are utilized because they will not interfere with the growth of the tree. Volunteers are also flagged during this process. 16 Table 4. 2005 Vegetation Monitoring Plot Species Composition.

These supplemental plantings are concurrent with the management of beavers on the site and adjacent properties and will ensure that the site achieves the long-term targeted plant community. Active management of the beaver population has resulted in the taking of three individuals and the removal of the dam. Management of the site and adjacent populations will continue until it is determined that they no longer pose a threat to survivability. The site will be monitored quarterly to document beaver activity. Volunteer species will also be monitored throughout the five year monitoring period. Table 5 shows the most commonly found woody volunteer species. Volunteer woody species were observed in almost all of the vegetation plots, but were deemed too small to tally. If these trees persist into next growing season they will be flagged and added to the overall stems per acre assessment of the site. Sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) is the most common volunteer, though Red Maple (Acer rubrum) and Persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) were also observed. Table 5.

ID Species Common Name FAC Status A Liquidambar styraciflua Sweetgum FAC+ B Acer rubrum Red Maple FAC C Diospyros virginiana Persimmon FAC 4.4 Vegetation Observations After construction of the mitigation site a permanent ground cover seed mixture of Virginia wild rye (Elymus virginicus), switch grass (Panicum virgatum), and fox sedge (Carex vulpinoidea) was broadcast on the site at a rate of 10 pounds per acre. These species are present on the site. Hydrophytic herbaceous vegetation is also occurring on site. Rush (Juncus effusus), spike-rush (Eleocharis obtusa), climbing hempweed (Mikania scandens), tearthumb (Polygonum sagittatum), Boxseed (Ludwigia sp.), and sedge (Carex sp.), all hydrophytic herbaceous plants, are observed across the site particularly in areas of periodic inundation. The presence of these herbaceous wetland plants helps to confirm the presence of wetland hydrology on the site. 17 There are weedy species occurring on the site, though few seem to be impacting the woody or herbaceous hydrophytic vegetation. Kudzu was noted around the perimeter of the site near Plots 7 and 8; management of these outlying areas will be conducted in the spring. The following map shows the approximate area around Plot 3 that has been invaded by Lespedeza and will be treated for improvement. Management will include mowing that isolated area, followed by a tree replanting prior to the start of the 2006 growing season, and an application in the spring of Oust, a pre-emergent. Other than the aforementioned area, the other species are weedy annuals and pose very little threat to survivability on site. Commonly seen weedy vegetation includes ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia), wild dill (Foeniculum vulgare), and morning glory (Ipomoea sp.). The kudzu and any other threatening weedy vegetation found in the future will be monitored and documented in the quarterly reports. / {1 > ! { a l ? 4 .L S # vL 1 t f A ?t { {'ma'r o i' CeP`r11?At (?:) ,x r i ?

Location of Lespediza Occurrence. 4.5 Vegetative Conclusions The site was planted in non-riverine hardwoods and Coastal Plain swamp species in March 2004. There were eight 0.1 acre vegetation monitoring plots established throughout the planting areas. We feel that the overall site is on trajectory for meeting the minimum success interim criteria of 320 trees per acre by year three and the final success criteria of 260 trees per acre by year five. Supplemental planting and active beaver management have increased stem counts in areas that were previously depleted. 18 5.0 STREAM MONITORING 5.1 Success Criteria As stated in the approved Mitigation Plan, the stream restoration success criteria for the site include the following: • Bankfull Events: Two bankfull flow events must be documented within the five-year monitoring period. • Cross-Sections: There should be little change in as-built cross-sections. Cross-sections shall be classified using the Rosgen stream classification method and all monitored cross-sections should fall within the quantitative parameters defined for "E" or "C" type channels. • Longitudinal Profiles: The longitudinal profiles should show that the bedform features are remaining stable, e.g. they are not aggrading or degrading. Bedforms observed should be consistent with those observed in "B" and "C" type channels. • Photo Reference Stations: Photographs will be used to subjectively evaluate channel aggradation or degradation, bank erosion, success of riparian vegetation and effectiveness of erosion control measures. • Benthic Macroinvertebrates: Sampling of benthic macroinvertebrates within the restored stream channel shall be conducted for the first three years of post-restoration monitoring. The Year 2 sample will be collected one full year after the completion of construction. Results for Year 1,2 and 3 will appear in report Years 2, 3, and 4. No success criteria are applied to the sampling data that will be collected. 5.2 Description of Stream Monitoring To document the stated success criteria, the following monitoring program was instituted following construction completion on the Marston Site: Bankfull Events: A crest gauge was installed on the site to document bankfull events. The gauge is checked each month, and records the highest out-of-bank flow event that occurred during the past month. The gauge is located near stream station 60+50 (see Figure 2d). Cross-Sections: Two permanent cross-sections were installed per 1,000 linear feet of stream restoration work, with one (1) of the locations being a riffle cross-section and one (1) location being a pool cross-section. A total of 13 permanent cross-sections were established across the mitigation site. Each cross-section was marked on both banks with permanent pins to establish the exact transect used. Permanent cross-section pins were surveyed and located relative to a common benchmark to facilitate easy comparison of year-to-year data. The annual cross-section surveys include points measured at all breaks in slope, including top of bank, bankfull, inner berm, edge of water, and thalweg. Riffle cross-sections are classified using the Rosgen stream classification system. Permanent cross-sections for 2005 (Year 2) were surveyed in January 2005. Longitudinal Profiles: A complete longitudinal profile will be completed in Years 1, 3, and 5. The profile will be conducted for a length of restored channel at least 3,000 feet in length. Measurements will include thalweg, water surface, inner berm, bankfull, and top of low bank. Each of these measurements will be taken at the head of each feature, e.g. riffle, run, pool, and 19 glide, and the max pool depth. A common benchmark will be used each year to facilitate comparison of year-to-year data. The longitudinal survey for 2004 (Year 1) was conducted during March 2004. The longitudinal survey for Year 3 will be conducted in 2006. Photo Reference Stations: Photographs are used to visually document restoration success. Nine reference photo stations have been established across the Marston Site. Reference stations are marked with wooden stakes and GPS coordinates have been determined for each location. Reference photos are taken at least once per year. Reference photos are taken at each permanent cross-section from both streambanks. The survey tape is centered in the photographs of the bank, and the water line is located in the lower edge of the frame with as much of the bank as possible included in each photo. Structure photos of each grade control structure are also taken. A photo log of the Marston site is included as Appendix B. Benthic Macroinvertebrates: Benthic macroinvertebrate data will be collected from the reference reach (Beaverdam Branch) and within the project reach. Pre-restoration data were collected on March 8, 2002, prior to initiation of stream restoration practices. Year 1 post-restoration sampling was done on January 17, 2005. Sampling will be conducted each year between January and March, since the stream in the past has experienced periods of very low flow during summer months. Sample collection will follow protocols described in the standard operating procedures of the Biological Assessment Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality. The Qual-4 collection method will be used for the collection of macroinvertebrate samples, and a NC certified laboratory will perform the identification of the macroinvertebrate samples. The metrics to be calculated will include total and EPT taxa richness, EPT abundance and biotic index values. 5.3 Results of Stream Monitoring Bankfull events on the site were documented during several site visits through the use of the onsite crest gauge and visual evidence of out-of-bank flow. The largest stream flow for Year 2 documented by the crest gauge on the site was a flow that occurred during the month of September and was approximately 2 feet above the bankfull stage. Another bankfull event was documented earlier in the year during the month of June and was approximately 1 feet above the bankfull stage at the crest gauge. Based on observations of ponded water, debris lines, and deposited sediment on the floodplain, the bankfull event spread over much of the restored wetland areas adjacent to the stream. Year 2 cross-section monitoring data for stream stability were collected during Januar and compared to baseline data collected in March 2004. Longitudinal profile information was not scheduled to occur for Year 2 but will be documented in monitoring Year 3 (2006). Permanent cross-sections document the stream dimension at thirteen locations (seven riffles and six pools, see Appendix C). The cross-sections show that there has been very little adjustment to stream dimension since construction. Several of the pool cross-sections indicate the development of point bar features, which is expected. All monitored cross-sections fell within the quantitative parameters defined for "E" or "C" type channels. In-stream structures installed within the restored stream included constructed riffles, log vanes, log weirs, and root wads. Visual observations of structures throughout the past growing season have indicated that nearly all structures are functioning as designed. Log vanes placed in meander pool areas have provided scour to keep pools deep and provide cover for fish. Log weirs placed in riffle areas have maintained riffle elevations and provided a downstream scour 20 hole which provides habitat. Root wads placed on the outside of meander bends have provided bank stability and in-stream cover for fish and other aquatic organisms. Two constructed riffles were installed on the lower end of the project to step the restored stream down to the elevation of the existing channel at the outlet of the project. Photographs were taken throughout the monitoring season to document the evolution of the restored stream channel (see Appendix B). Herbaceous vegetation is dense along the restored stream, making it difficult to take photographs of the stream channel itself. Pools have maintained a variety of depths and habitat qualities, depending on the location and type of scour features (logs, root wads, transplants, etc.). 5.3.1 Stream Benthic Macroinvertebrates Benthic macroinvertebrate samples were collected from two sites on January 17, 2005. Site 1 is located in the downstream section of the restoration reach, while Site 2 is located on Beaverdam Branch in Jones County. Site 2 was also used as an eco-reference site during the pre-construction survey (March 2002. A site upstream of the restoration reach could not be used due to insu ficient flow. The sampling methodology followed the Qual-4 protocol listed in the NCDWQ's Standard Operating Procedures for Benthic Macroinvertebrates. A summary of the benthic macroinvertebrate sampling results is presented in Table 6, with complete results presented in Appendix C. J The components of the benthic macroinvertebrate community that are commonly used to evaluate water quality are the EPT taxa. The EPT taxa include specimens belonging to the insect orders Ephemeroptera (mayflies), Plecoptera (stoneflies) and Trichoptera (caddisflies). These groups are generally the least tolerant to water pollution and therefore are very useful indicators of water quality. Therefore, the presence of substantial numbers of EPT taxa and individuals is considered indicative of relatively undisturbed "higher quality" streams. EPT metrics commonly used include EPT taxa richness, EPT biotic index, and EPT abundance which are shown in Table 6. 21 &L4.CAL- 01 Table 6. Summary of Benthic Macroinvertebrate Data for the Marston Site C Qv?

EPT abundance at Site 1 has also increased from 1 in 2002 to 14 in 2005. Beaverdam Branch, sampled on January 17, 2005, apparently has undergone a significant water quality decline since 2002 based on the low species diversity results in 2005. However, physical habitat remains intact and not declining (habitat assessment score of 89), suggesting that water chemistry at that site has been negatively affected. Scattered debris of old trash bags observed in the channel also helps support this conclusion. After construction, the project reach has an open canopy, thus limiting potential input of coarse particulate organic matter (CPOM) to the aquatic system. Inputs of CPOM provide a critical resource base for the benthic macroinvertebrate community, especially in a low-order stream such as the project reach. In response to the lack of CPOM, few shredder organisms (only Tipula sp., a cranefly larva) were found in the project reach in 2005. Establishing a well-forested riparian buffer along the restoration reach would provide shading, reduce photosynthetic rate of algae and macrophytes, reduce siltation and e sedimentation, and provide additional habitat and organic matter to aquatic organisms. As a result, recruitment of additional species, especially shredders, should occur. h? Recruitment of additional intolerant species will most likely come from a nearby watershed and not from upstream. An increasing trend of the total and EPT taxa richness should occur over a period of years following stream restoration. The trend results will rely heavily upon the successful establishment of the riparian vegetation and in-stream habitat improvements. S46, 22 5.4 Conclusions The total length of stream channel restored on the site was 6,416 feet. Based on the data collected, the restored channel is stable and providing the functions intended. Riffle and pool features remained stable during Year 2 monitoring observations. Benthic Macroinvertebrate samples showed improvement one year after construction. It is expected that stability and in- stream habitat of the system will only improve in the coming years as permanent vegetation becomes more established. 23 6.0 OVERALL CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS • Year 2 hydrologic monitoring has shown that the minimum wetland hydrology criteria have been achieved. All six hydrologic monitoring gauges documented that the targeted success criteria were achieved. • Despite two bankfull flows during the second growing season, the restored stream channel has remained stable and is providing the intended habitat and hydrologic functions. • Based on vegetation monitoring, the average number of stems per acre on site are 444. This included supplemental plantings due to herbivory. Beaver management will ensure that the site meets its tree survival criteria. • Management of Kudzu around vegetation plots 7 and 8 as well as the site perimeter will occur in the spring of 2006. Management of Lespedeza and replanting in and around plot 3 will be conducted prior to the start of the 2006 growing season. • Monitoring of vegetation and groundwater and surface water levels will continue. 24 7.0 WILDLIFE OBSERVATIONS Observations of deer and raccoon tracks are common on the Marston site. During certain times of the year, frogs have been very prevalent across the site. Turtles, fish, and Great Blue Herons have also been periodically observed. 25 APPENDICES (APPENDIX MATERIALS ARE INCLUDED ON ENCLOSED CD) Q[I @ R od19 p DEC 0 1 2004 Neu-Con Umbrella Wetland and Stream Mitigation Banltr,. _ WATERQUALITY It, WETLANDS Ar 0 STORMWATER BRANCH Marston Wetland and Stream Mitigation Site Annual Monitoring Report for 2004 (Year 1) Environmental Banc & Exchange, LLC Managers, Bankers, and Traders of Environmental Rights "we IVk'Vest Cw the ev',v'rOo'Mevk't."

STREAM MONITORING DATA ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2004 (Year 1) Marston Mitigation Site SUMMARY This Annual Report details the monitoring activities during the 2004 growing season on the Marston Mitigation Site. Construction of the site, including planting of trees, was completed in March 2004. The 2004 data represent results from the first year of hydrologic and vegetation monitoring for both wetlands and streams. The design for the Marston property involved the restoration of a Coastal Plain small stream swamp as described by Schafale and Weakley (1990). The Coastal Plain small stream swamp communities exist as the floodplains of small blackwater streams in which separate fluvial features and associated vegetation are too small or poorly developed to distinguish. After construction, it was determined that 6,416 feet of stream and 37.7 acres of wetland hydrology were restored. An additional 8.6 acres of wetlands were enhanced on the northern end of the project. This Annual Report presents the data from six hydrologic monitoring stations, eight vegetation monitoring stations, and stream monitoring, as required by the approved Mitigation Plan for the site. Three of the hydrologic stations are equipped with manual groundwater gauges and three stations are equipped with automated gauges and a manual calibration gauge. Additionally, the gauges are used as points from which photographs are taken over time. Weather station data from the Trenton and Kinston Weather Stations were used in conjunction with a manual rain gauge located on the site to document precipitation amounts. The manual gauge is used to validate observations made at the automated station. For the 2004 growing season, slightly lower than average rainfall totals were documented on the mitigation site. In 2004, all six hydrology monitoring gauges have met the hydrologic success criteria based on field observations. One manual gage had several readings significantly below the other gages onsite however this gage is believed to have exhibited hydroperiods greater than 7% of the growing season, and correlated well with data collected from the gauge located on the reference site and with the associated wetland systems that are targeted. Based on these results, it was concluded that the site is performing as designed and is mimicking conditions documented on the wetland reference site. Eight monitoring plots 0.1 acre in size were used to predict survivability of the woody vegetation planted on site. The vegetation monitoring indicated an average survivability of over 330 stems per acre even though there are isolated pockets of extensive beaver herbivory. This average survivability would increase to 410 stems per acre absent the depleted areas. We will conduct supplemental planting within the depleted areas concurrent with the management of beavers on the site and adjacent properties. Overall, the site is on track for meeting the initial vegetation survival criteria of 320 stems per acre surviving after the third growing season. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION Located in Jones County, the entire Marston Mitigation Site encompasses approximately 176 acres. It is located approximately twelve miles west of the town of Trenton, North Carolina (Figure 1). This project provides compensatory mitigation for stream and wetland impacts associated within the resident hydrologic unit. The Marston site is designed to restore a Coastal Plain small stream swamp as described by Schafale and Weakley (1990). The Coastal Plain small stream swamp communities exist as the floodplains of small blackwater streams in which separate fluvial features and associated vegetation are too small or poorly developed to distinguish. Construction was completed in February 2004, with 58 acres of planting being completed in March 2004. Groundwater, surface water, and rain gauges were functional beginning March 15, 2004. The 2004 monitoring season represents the first year of monitoring for the site. 1.2 PURPOSE Monitoring of the Marston Site is required to demonstrate successful mitigation based on the criteria found in the Mitigation Plan, the Neu-Con Umbrella Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank Instrument, and through a comparison to reference site conditions. Hydrologic, vegetation, and stream monitoring are conducted on an annual basis. Success criteria must be met for five consecutive years. This Annual Report details the results of the monitoring efforts for 2004 (Year 1) at the Marston Mitigation Site. 1.3 PROJECT HISTORY June 2001 Pre-restoration Monitoring Wells Installed November 2003 1 Construction Began December 2003 Approved Mitigation Plan February 2004 Construction Completed March 2004 1 Planting Completed March 2004 Post-Construction Monitoring Wells Installed November 2004 1st Annual Monitoring Report November 2005 (scheduled) November 2006 (scheduled) November 2007 (scheduled) November 2008 (scheduled) 2nd Annual Monitoring Report 3rd Annual Monitoring Report 4th Annual Monitoring Report 5th Annual Monitoring Report 2 •,;? f WET LAN D REFERENCE SITE as . `.?•? 41 t 00 PROJECT SITE 258 1 ?._ - 41 s 58 „?•,.;:?,.

HYDROLOGY 2.1 SUCCESS CRITERIA As stated in the approved Mitigation Plan, the hydrologic success criteria for the site is to restore the water table at the site so that it will remain within 12 inches of the soil surface for at least 7% of the growing season continuously (approximately 17 days). The day counts are based on the growing season for Jones County, which is 232 days long, beginning on March 20 and ending November 7, as calculated from National Weather Service Wetlands Determination Tables (WETS) for Jones County. As specified in the approved Mitigation Plan, data are collected from three automated and three manual groundwater gauges. The Mitigation Plan further specified that in order for the hydrologic data to be considered successful it must demonstrate wetland conditions are present in normal or dryer than normal conditions. During the 2004 growing season, slightly lower than normal rainfall amounts were documented on the restoration site. Monitoring data from the reference site demonstrate positive correlations between the restoration site and the natural hydrology of the target system. 2.2 DESCRIPTION OF HYDROLOGIC MONITORING EFFORTS Three manual groundwater gauges, three automated Infinities groundwater gauges, and one rain gauge were installed prior to the beginning of the first growing season (Figure 2). Groundwater gauges, both manual and automated, were installed to a minimum depth of at least 40 inches below the ground surface. The monitoring protocol for the site specifies that automated monitoring stations will be downloaded and checked for malfunctions on a monthly basis. During monthly site visits, manual groundwater gauges are read and rainfall totals are collected from the on-site rain gauge. During the 2004 growing season, all three automated loggers performed well and no periods of missing data were incurred. 4 PROJECT: 070 AL4RSTON O rr r N O O r O O `?

The results of these calculations are presented in Table 1. Figure 3 provides a chart of the water depth for each of the monitoring gauges on the site. Precipitation is shown across the top of the graph. This graph demonstrates the reaction at each monitoring location of the groundwater level to specific rainfall events. Raw hydrograph data collected from the monitoring gauges is provided in Appendix A. The site was designed to function as a riparian wetland system with associated wet flats. Hydrology in the riparian areas is driven primarily by groundwater discharge and overbank flooding, whereas precipitation is the primary hydrologic influence in the wet flat areas. Monitoring has thus far demonstrated that the site is functioning as designed, with varying degrees of wetness and saturation across the site. All gauges have exceeded the 7% hydrologic success criteria. Actual hydroperiods experienced across the site during 2004 ranged from 11% to 12% of the growing season, which is consistent with the expected conditions of this type of wetland ecosystem. Table 1.

Hydrologic parameters are estimated based on data from gauge Al, however slightly dryer conditions were documented at M3 during certain rimes of the year as compared to A3. 11 The model simulations performed during the design phase of the project indicated that the entire site would range from slightly higher than the minimum wetland criteria of 5% to more saturated areas that would exceed 12.5%. As the data collected for 2004 indicate, the site is performing as described in the Mitigation Plan, with varying degrees of wetness documented and the entire site exceeding the stated criteria of 7%. 2.3.2 Climatic Data Table 2 is a comparison of the 2004 monthly rainfall to historical precipitation (collected from 1971 to 2000) for Jones County. Historic data presented were collected from an automated weather station in Trenton. Data were not available for the entire growing season for the Trenton rain gage. Missing data were supplemented with data from a rain gage in Kinston, NC. For the period of record in which rainfall measurements were collected on-site (March 15 through October 6), the rainfall total from the Trenton and Kinston gauges (35.83 inches) correlates well with data collected from the onsite manual rain gauge (34.99 inches). In general, monthly rainfall amounts for the area were higher than normal for February, April, May, and June, and lower than average in January, March, July, and September. This comparison gives an indication of how 2004 compares to historical data in terms of average rainfall. For the 2004 period of record shown, total rainfall was approximately 0.2 inches less than the long-term average. Monthly rainfall for October, November, and December 2004 were not available at the time this report was compiled. Table 2. Comparison of Historic Average Rainfall to Observed Rainfall (Inches).

Hydrologic criteria were met in the latter part of the growing season. Due to the relatively low rainfall patterns of the spring months, the water table on the site did not rebound until periods of heavy rains occurred during August and September. The site is performing as designed and predicted, with varying degrees of saturation across the site. The site in general exhibits flashy hydrographs that appear to be indicative of the soils and hydrology of the targeted wetland system, since similar trends have been documented on the reference site (see Section 5). 14 3. VEGETATION 3.1 SUCCESS CRITERIA The interim measure of vegetative success identified in the approved Mitigation Plan will be the survival of at least 320 3-year old trees per acre at the end of year 3 of the monitoring period. The final vegetative success criteria will be the survival of 260 5-year old trees per acre at the end of the monitoring period. Up to 20% of the site species composition may be comprised of invaders. Remedial action may be required should these (i.e. loblolly pine, red maple, sweet gum, etc.) present a problem and exceed 20% composition. Construction of the site, planting of bare root trees, and spreading of the permanent seed mixture was completed in March 2004. 3.2 DESCRIPTION OF SPECIES AND MONITORING PROTOCAL Table 3. Tree species planted in the Marston Wetland Restoration Area. ID Common Name Scientific Name FAC Status 1 Nyssa bi ora Swamp Tupelo OBL 2 Nyssa sylvatica Blackgum FAC 3 Quercus lyrata Swamp White Oak OBL 4 Quercus michauxii Swamp Chestnut Oak FACW- 5 Quercus phellos Coastal Willow Oak FACW- 6 Taxodium distichum Bald Cypress OBL The following monitoring protocol was designed to predict vegetative survivability. Eight plots were established on the Marston Mitigation Site, to monitor approximately 2% of the site. The vegetation monitoring plots were designed to be 0.1 acre in size, or 66' x 66' dimensionally. The plots were randomly located and randomly oriented within the wetland restoration area. Plot construction involved using metal fence posts at each of the four corners to clearly and permanently establish the area that was to be sampled. Then ropes were hung connecting all four corners to help in determining if trees close to the plot boundary were inside or outside of the plot. Trees immediately on the boundary, and trees just outside of the boundary that appear to have greater than 50% of their canopy inside the boundary were counted inside the plot. A piece of white PVC pipe ten feet tall was placed over the metal post on one corner to facilitate visual location of site throughout the five-year monitoring period. All of the planted stems inside the plot were flagged to mark them as the planted stems (vs. any colonizers) and to help in locating them in the future. Each stem was then tagged with a permanent numbered aluminum tag. 15 3.3 RESULTS OF VEGETATIVE MONITORING Table 4 presents stem counts for each of the monitoring stations. Each planted tree species is identified across the top row and each plot is identified down the left column. The numbers on the top row correlate to the ID column given in Table 3. Trees are flagged in the field on a quarterly basis before the flags degrade. Flags are utilized because they will not interfere with the growth of the tree. Volunteers are also flagged during this process. Table 4. 2003 Vegetation Monitoring Plot Species Composition.

Plots 3 and 4 have experienced only minor mortality. Plots 1 and 2 are in close proximity to the stream and have exaggerated mortality when viewed in context to the site. Numerous stems have been chewed and the tree subsequently eaten by the beaver. Active management of the beaver population has resulted in the taking of three individuals and the removal of the dam. Management of the site and adjacent populations will continue until it is determined that they no longer pose a threat to survivability. Supplemental planting will ensure that the site achieves the long-term targeted plant community. The site will continue to be monitored quarterly to document beaver activity. Volunteer species will also be monitored throughout the five year monitoring period. Below is a table of the most commonly found woody volunteer species. Volunteer woody species were observed in most all of the vegetation plots, but were deemed too small to tally. If these trees persist into next growing season they will be flagged and added to the overall stems per acre assessment of the site. Sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) is the most common volunteer, though Red Maple (Acer rubrum) and Persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) were also observed. 16 Table 5. Volunteer Tree Species Identified within in the Wetland Restoration Area. ID Species Common Name FAC Status A Liquidambar styraciflua Sweetgum FAC+ B Acer rubrum Red Maple FAC C Diospyros virginiana Persimmon FAC 3.4 VEGETATION CONCLUSIONS The site was planted in non-riverine hardwoods and coastal plain swamp species in March 2004. There were eight 0.1 acre vegetation monitoring plots established throughout the planting areas. We feel that the overall site is on trajectory for meeting the minimum success interim criteria of 320 trees per acre by year three and the final success criteria of 260 trees per acre by year five. Supplemental planting and active beaver management will increase stem counts in areas that have been depleted. 17 4. STREAM MONITORING 4.1 SUCCESS CRITERIA As stated in the approved Mitigation Plan, the stream restoration success criteria for the site include the following: • Bankfull Events: Two bankfull flow events must be documented within the five year monitoring period. • Cross Sections: There should be little change in as-built cross-sections. Cross-sections shall be classified using the Rosgen stream classification method and all monitored cross- sections should fall within the quantitative parameters defined for "B" or "C" type channels. • Longitudinal Profiles: The longitudinal profiles should show that the bedform features are remaining stable, e.g. they are not aggrading or degrading. Bedforms observed should be consistent with those observed in "E" and "C" type channels. • Photo Reference Stations: Photographs will be used to subjectively evaluate channel aggradation or degradation, bank erosion, success of riparian vegetation and effectiveness of erosion control measures. • Benthic Macroinvertebrate and Fish Sampling: Sampling of benthic macroinvertebrates and fish within the restored stream channel shall be conducted for the first three years of post-restoration monitoring. No success criteria are applied to the sampling data which will be collected. 4.2 DESCRIPTION OF STREAM MONITORING To document the stated success criteria, the following monitoring program was instituted following construction completion on the Marston Site: Bankfull Events: A crest gauge was installed on the site to document bankfull events. The gauge is checked each month, and records the highest out-of-bank flow event that occurred during the past month. The gauge is located near stream station 60+50 (see Figure 2d). Cross Sections: Two permanent cross-sections were installed per 1,000 linear feet of stream restoration work, with one (1) of the locations being a riffle cross-section and one (1) location being a pool cross-section. A total of 13 permanent cross sections were established across the mitigation site. Each cross section was marked on both banks with permanent pins to establish the exact transect used. Permanent cross section pins were surveyed and located relative to a common benchmark to facilitate easy comparison of year-to-year data. The annual cross section surveys include points measured at all breaks in slope, including top of bank, bankfull, inner 18 berm, edge of water, and thalweg. Riffle cross sections are classified using the Rosgen stream classification system. Permanent cross sections for 2004 (year 1) were surveyed in March 2004. Longitudinal Profiles: A complete longitudinal profile will be completed in years one, three, and five. The profile will be conducted for a length of restored channel at least 3,000 feet in length. Measurements will include thalweg, water surface, inner berm, bankfull, and top of low bank. Each of these measurements will be taken at the head of each feature, e.g. riffle, run, pool, and glide, and the max pool depth. A common benchmark will be used each year to facilitate comparison of year-to-year data. The longitudinal survey for 2004 (year 1) was conducted during March 2004. Photo Reference Stations: Photographs are used to visually document restoration success. Nine reference photo stations have been established across the Marston Site. Reference stations are marked with wooden stakes and GPS coordinates have been determined for each location. Reference photos are taken at least once per year. Reference photos are taken at each permanent cross section from both streambanks. The survey tape is centered in the photographs of the bank, and the water line is located in the lower edge of the frame with as much of the bank as possible included in each photo. Structure photos of each grade control structure are also taken. Benthic Macroinvertebrates and Fish Sampling: Benthic macroinvertebrate and fish sampling data will be collected from the reference reach (upstream of project reach) and within the project reach. Pre-restoration data were collected on March 8, 2002, prior to initiation of stream restoration practices. Post-restoration sampling will begin one year after construction activities have been completed, and annually thereafter for a total of three years. Sampling will be conducted each year between November and February, since the stream in the past has experienced periods of very low flow during summer months. Sample collection will follow protocols described in the standard operating procedures of the Biological Assessment Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality. The Qual-4 collection method will be used for the collection of macroinvertebrate samples, and a NC certified laboratory will perform the identification of the macroinvertebrate samples. The metrics to be calculated will include total and EPT taxa richness, EPT abundance and biotic index values. 4.3 RESULTS OF STREAM MONITORING Bankfull events on the site were documented during several site visits through the use of the onsite crest gauge and visual evidence of out-of-bank flow. The largest stream flow documented by the crest gauge on the site was a flow that occurred during the month of August and was approximately 2 feet above the bankfull stage at the crest gauge. Based on observations of ponded water, debris lines, and deposited sediment on the floodplain, the bankfull event spread overmuch of the restored wetland areas adjacent to the stream. Year 1 monitoring data for stream stability were collected during March 2004 to set a baseline for stream monitoring to occur in subsequent years. The longitudinal profile information documents the elevations and locations of streambed features and instream grade control structures (see Appendix C). The longitudinal profile also documents that the overall design stream slope was achieved in the completed stream. Permanent cross-sections document the 19 stream dimension at thirteen locations (seven riffles and six pools, see Appendix Q. The cross- sections show that the constructed stream was built to the design dimensions and ratios indicated in the plans. Instream structures installed within the restored stream included constructed riffles, log vanes, log weirs, and root wads. Visual observations of structures throughout the past growing season have indicated that nearly all structures are functioning as designed. Log vanes placed in meander pool areas have provided scour to keep pools deep and provide cover for fish. Log weirs placed in riffle areas have maintained riffle elevations and provided a downstream scour hole which provides habitat. Some areas of localized instability have been noticed; however these areas appear to be stabilizing over time as vegetation becomes established. Some adjustment to stream dimension is expected immediately following construction. Root wads placed on the outside of meander bends have provided bank stability and instream cover for fish and other aquatic organisms. Two constructed riffles were installed on the lower end of the project to step the restored stream down to the elevation of the existing channel at the outlet of the project. Although fish and macroinvertebrate sampling are scheduled to occur in the January 2005, fish have been observed within the restored stream channel during the past year. Frogs have also been very prevalent around the stream channel at various times throughout the year. Photographs have been taken throughout the monitored season to document the evolution of the restored stream channel (see Appendix B). Due to drier than normal conditions, low stream flows were observed during the early part of the growing season. Early in the growing season, beavers built a dam in one location of the main reach near station 22+00. The dam was removed and a management plan was started to trap the beavers and remove them from the site. Efforts are on- going to remove the beavers. The beaver activity and the removal of the dam have not affected stream stability. 20 4.4 CONCLUSIONS The total length of stream channel restored on the site was 6,416 feet. Based on the data collected thus far, the restored channel is stable and is providing the functions intended (Figure 4). Stable riffle and pool features developed quickly after construction and it is expected that stability of the system will only improve in the coming years as permanent vegetation becomes more established.

REFERENCE SITE CONDITIONS The approved Mitigation Plan provides that if the rainfall data for any given year during the monitoring period is not normal, the reference wetland data can be accessed to determine if there is a positive correlation between the performance of the restoration site and the natural hydrology of the reference site. Though rainfall totals for 2004 were near normal, the reference data are provided below for comparison. Data from the reference site are compared to restoration site data in Figure 5. Data from the reference wetland groundwater gauge show a positive correlation with the automated groundwater gauges located on the restoration site. The automated gauges from restoration site and the reference wetland demonstrate the similarity of the hydrologic response to rainfall events. Although the sites are located relatively close to each other, a difference in the timing and magnitude of rainfall events is clear from the hydrograph data. Total rainfall amounts during the monitoring period at the Webb Reference Site and the mitigation site were very similar. 22 0 d Q N L 2 O N It co (UI) llejulea • r C O O N N N U M Q N • N O ? - ?

OVERALL CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS • First year hydrologic monitoring has shown that the minimum wetland hydrology criteria have been achieved. All six hydrologic monitoring gauges documented that the targeted success criteria were achieved. • Despite several bankfull flows during the first growing season, the restored stream channel has remained stable and is providing the intended habitat and hydrologic functions. Only several small areas of instability have been observed, and it is believed that these areas will stabilize themselves in the next growing season as vegetation continues to colonize and mature on the site. • Vegetation monitoring efforts have calculated the average number of stems per acre on site to be 335. This included isolated zones of reduced stem counts resulting from herbivory, supplemental planting and beaver management will ensure that the site meets its tree survival criteria. Some mortality is always expected during this first year because trees simply cannot survive the transplanting process and site equilibration. • Since the first growing season is often the hardest to survive, we feel that vegetation survivability, absent herbivory, should remain satisfactorily on site and vegetative success criteria will be met. • Monitoring of vegetation and groundwater and surface water levels will continue. 7. WILDLIFE OBSERVATIONS Observations of deer and raccoon tracks are common on the Marston site. During certain times of the year, frogs have been very prevalent across the site. Turtles, fish, and Great Blue Herons have also been periodically observed on site. 8. VEGETATION OBSERVATIONS After construction of the mitigation site a permanent ground cover seed mixture of Virginia wild rye (Elymus virginicus), switch grass (Panicum virgatum), and fox sedge (Carex vulpinoidea) was broadcast on the site at a rate of 10 pounds per acre. These species are present on the site. Hydrophytic herbaceous vegetation is also occurring on site. Rush (Juncus effusus), spike-rush (Eleocharis obtusa), climbing hempweed (Mikania scandens), tearthumb (Polygonum sagittatum), Boxseed (Ludwigia sp.), and sedge (Carex sp.), all hydrophytic herbaceous plants, are observed across the site particularly in areas of periodic inundation. The presence of these herbaceous wetland plants helps to confirm the presence of wetland hydrology on the site. There are quite a few weedy species occurring on the site, though none seem to be posing any problems for the woody or herbaceous hydrophytic vegetation. The majority of the weedy species are annuals and believed to pose very little threat to survivability in site. Commonly seen weedy vegetation includes ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia), wild dill (Foeniculum vulgare), and Morning Glory (Ipomoea sp.). Any threatening weedy vegetation found in the future will be documented and discussed in quarterly reports. 24 APPENDICES (APPENDIX MATERIALS ARE INCLUDED ON ENCLOSED CD) O W ATF9 pG =.i Michael F.

Mr. Webster: The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) 401 Oversight and Express Review Permitting Unit has reviewed the Year 3 Monitoring Report for the above-referenced site. Our comments on the report are as follows: Stream Restoration • The profile data graph shows only data from the current monitoring year. Data from the as-built and previous monitoring years must be included to allow for a comparison of data and to allow identification of trends. Many of the cross-sections show a decrease in cross-sectional area compared with the year 1 data.. This may be a natural adjustment, or may represent instability. This will need to be monitored closely in future monitoring events. Wetland Restoration • The analytical method for measuring hydrology appears to be robust enough to determine the wetland hydroperiods. However, please explain the rationale for using this method (matching manual gauges with automatic gauges, interpolating, calculating & applying correction factors) rather than use of automatic gauges at all monitoring stations. • Based on the data from groundwater gauges, it appears that the wetland hydrology criteria were met during 2006. It looks like the reference gauge malfunctioned during the growing season. The reference data that were collected showed much drier conditions than the Marston gauges. It will be important to repair the reference gauge and draw comparisons between the sites during future monitoring years. 401 Oversight/Express Review Permitting Unit 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1650 2321 Crabtree Boulevard, Suite 250, Raleigh, North Carolina 27604 Phone (919) 733-1786 / Fax (919) 733-6893 Internet: http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/ncwetlands None Carolina Naturally it Mr. Webster Environmental Banc & Exchange Neu-Con Bank - Marston Site Yr. 3 Monitoring Report Page 2 • Please provide vegetation data from all monitoring years so that trends over time can be assessed. According to the report, vegetation success criteria are currently being met. However, based on Table 5 and the photos, some of the vegetation plots may be losing diversity. For example, Plot M7 contains four species of trees, with swamp chestnut oak comprising over 25% of the tree species in this plot. In M2 black gum comprises approx. 75% of the trees. It is not clear to what extent the diversity in the plots extends to larger areas of the site. Overall, the site appears to be making satisfactory progress. The issues noted above should be carefully monitored, and mitigative action should be taken as necessary. We look forward to receiving the above- requested information. . In addition, as part of DWQ's process of inventorying mitigation sites and assessing sites for compliance with mitigation requirements, we may contact you to schedule a site visit at some point during the growing season.

The Marston site was designed to restore a "coastal plain small stream swamp" as described by Schafale and Weakley (1990). Site work was completed in February 2004, and 58 acres of vegetation was planted in March 2004. Groundwater, surface water, and rain gauges were functional beginning March 15, 2004. The project contains 6,416 feet of stream restoration and 37.7 acres of wetland restoration with an additional 8.6 acres of wetland enhancement. It is projected that the site will produce 6,416 SMU's and 66 WMU's. 2006 Monitoring Report Summary The 2006 monitoring season represents Year 3 of monitoring for the site. In 2006, all hydrology monitoring gauges met the hydrologic success criteria, based on field observations. The Webb reference RDS monitoring well was replaced in early February with an Infinity gauge to avoid errors that have been attributed to defects in RDS gauges. The restored stream channel has remained stable and is providing the intended habitat and hydrologic functions. All monitored cross-sections and profiles for 2006 showed very little adjustment in stream dimension. The vegetation monitoring indicated survival rates between 320 and 660 stems per acre. The site met the initial vegetation survival criteria of 320 stems per acre surviving after the third growing season and is on track to meeting the fifth growing season criteria of 260 stems per acre. Based on these results, it was concluded that the site is performing as designed. Repair and Maintenance Tasks For 2007 Repairs and maintenance activities at the site in 2007 will focus on controlling several invasive exotic species which include sericea lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata) and kudzu (Pueraria montana.) These invasive species were treated during the construction of the site as well as during the 2006 growing season. Kudzu is present in low density around the perimeter of the site near Plots 7 and 8; because of the nature of this fast growing invasive plant, management of these outlying areas may be necessary again in 2007. Kudzu will continue to be monitored and will be treated as needed to control the growth of this invasive. Treatment for the lespedeza, an invasive with a large root structure, will include mowing during the 2007 growing season the isolated area near Plot 3 and any other areas that may need it. Also, an application of Oust, a pre-emergent, will be made in February 2007. In addition, Transline will be applied in March 2007. During the late fall and winter 2006/2007, water was impounded in the affected area. This temporary flooding technique will be used again in winter 2007/2008 to change the soil saturation and deter the re-growth of the lespedeza in this area. The impoundment technique is not used during the growing season due to the potential effect to the groundwater hydrology in the wetland areas. There are weedy species occurring on the site, though few seem to be posing any widespread problems for the woody or herbaceous hydrophytic vegetation. Other species present are weedy annuals and pose very little threat to survivability of the trees on the site. Commonly occurring weeds include ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia), wild dill (Foeniculum vulgare), and morning glory (Ipomoea sp.). Also, there continues to be an active vole population but the damage to the planted stems is minimal. Many stems have sprouted that were damaged by the voles in prior years. Adaptive Management Tasks For 2007 No adaptive management actions are planned for 2007 as the Marston site continues to meet all hydrologic, vegetative and stream success criteria.

Construction of the site, including planting of trees, was completed in March 2004. The 2006 data represent results from Year 3 of hydrologic and vegetation monitoring for both wetlands and streams. The design for the Marston property involved the restoration of a Coastal Plain small stream swamp • as described by Schafale and Weakley (1990). After construction, it was determined that 6,416 feet of stream and 37.7 acres of wetland hydrology were restored. An additional 8.6 acres of wetlands were enhanced on the northern end of the project. The As-Built survey is included as Appendix A. This Annual Report presents the data from six hydrologic monitoring stations, eight vegetation monitoring stations, and stream monitoring, as required by the approved Mitigation Plan for the site. Three of the hydrologic stations are equipped with manual groundwater gauges and three stations are equipped with automated gauges and a manual calibration gauge. Additionally, the gauges are used as points from which photographs are taken over time. Weather station data from the Trenton Weather Station were used in conjunction with a manual rain • gauge located on the site to document precipitation amounts. The manual gauge is used to validate observations made at the automated station. For the 2006 growing season rainfall was within normal limits. Early growing season rainfall (March) was below normal limits; however, the remainder of the growing season was within or slightly outside of normal limits. In 2006, all six hydrology monitoring gauges met the hydrologic success criteria, based on field observations. Based on these results, it was concluded that the site is performing as designed. • This Annual Report documents vegetation survival based on eight vegetation-monitoring plots, as specified in the approved mitigation plan for the Marston site. Eight monitoring plots 1/10th of an acre in size were used to predict survivability of the woody vegetation planted on site. The vegetation monitoring indicated survival rates between 320 and 660 stems per acre. The site meets the initial vegetation survival criteria of 320 stems per acre surviving after the third growing season. Our area of concern on this site is the Lespedeza in Plot 3 that has grown back since spring. Continued mowing and spraying herbicide on the 2-3 acre area will help actively manage this invasive species. • The restored stream channel has remained stable and is providing the intended habitat and hydrologic functions. All monitored cross-sections and profile for 2006 show very little adjustment in stream dimension. • 2.0 INTRODUCTION 2.1 Project Description • Located in Jones County, the Marston Mitigation Site encompasses approximately 176 acres. It is located approximately twelve miles west of the town of Trenton, North Carolina (Figure 1 and Figure 2).

The Marston site is designed to restore a Coastal Plain small stream swamp as described by Schafale and Weakley (1990). The Coastal Plain small stream swamp communities exist as the floodplains of small blackwater streams in which separate fluvial features and associated vegetation are too small or poorly developed to distinguish. Construction at the site was • completed in February 2004, with 58 acres of vegetation planted by March 2004. Groundwater, surface water, and rain gauges were functional beginning March 15, 2004. The 2006 monitoring season represents Year 3 of monitoring for the site. 2.2 Purpose Monitoring of the Marston Site is required to demonstrate successful mitigation based on the criteria found in the Mitigation Plan, the Neu-Con Umbrella Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank Instrument, and through a comparison to reference site conditions. Hydrologic, vegetation, and stream monitoring are conducted on an annual basis. Success criteria must be met for five consecutive years. This Annual Monitoring Report details the results of the monitoring efforts for 2006 (Year 3) at the Marston Mitigation Site. 2.3 Project History Table 1.

The day counts are based on the growing season for Jones County, which is 232 days long, beginning on March 20 and ending November 7, as • calculated from National Weather Service Wetlands Determination Tables (WETS) for Jones County. As specified in the approved Mitigation Plan, data are collected from three automated and three manual groundwater gauges. The Mitigation Plan further specified that in order for the hydrologic data to be considered successful, it must demonstrate wetland conditions are present in normal or dryer than normal conditions. • 3.2 Description of Hydrology Monitoring Efforts Three manual groundwater gauges, three automated Infinities groundwater gauges, and one rain gauge were installed prior to the beginning of the first growing season (Figure 3). Groundwater gauges, both manual and automated, were installed to a minimum depth of at least 40 inches below • the ground surface. The monitoring protocol for the site specifies that automated monitoring stations will be downloaded and checked for malfunctions on a monthly basis. During monthly site visits, 4 ••••• •• • •• • •• i Y. ? t i X ? m 0 O N O T I n D m ti V/ ) O O r 1 \ V O N O O / n V `1 K C G FT? 000 D 'T ^ V l \ / z CD J O TO V (T1 N O 0 Marston Mitigation Site Annual Monitoring Report for 2006 (Year 3) • manual groundwater gauges are read and rainfall totals are collected from the on-site rain gauge. During the 2006 growing season, all three automated loggers performed well and no periods of missing data were encountered. Automatic groundwater gauges record water table elevations twice daily at 08:00 and 20:00. Infinities gauges employ pressure sensors that record water elevation above the bottom of the sensor (with atmospheric pressure compensation). Immediately adjacent to each automatic gauge is a manual calibration gauge. The calibration water table depth is recorded at monthly downloads. To determine wetland hydroperiods the automatically recorded data are compared to the calibration data to determine a standard correction factor between the calibration gauge and the automatic gauge for each location. The standard correction factor is applied to correct daily readings. The corrected daily readings are used to determine wetland hydroperiods. Water table depths are recorded monthly in manual groundwater gauges. To calculate wetland • hydroperiods interpolations are made between monthly readings by correlating twice daily automatic gauge readings. Each manual gauge is correlated to an automatic gauge based on proximity, landscape position, and the relationship of their groundwater depth readings (i.e. if their readings are separated by a consistent value). Once the appropriate automatic gauge has been selected a correction factor is calculated for each monthly gauge reading. A daily rate of change between monthly correction factors is calculated to determine the daily correction factor. The daily correction factor is then applied to the automatic gauge readings to calculate an estimated daily water table depth for the manual gauge. • These daily readings are used to determine wetland hydroperiods. Wetland hydroperiods are calculated from twice daily water table depth elevations. A hydroperiod is calculated if the water table is equal to or less than -12 inches below ground surface for at least 24 hours. If a gauge falls below -12 inches for two consecutive readings (24 hours) then the hydroperiod ends at the last reading within -12 inches. If a gauge falls below -12 inches for only one reading then maintains a reading above -12 inches for a minimum of 24 hours then the hydroperiod is calculated • continuously. This methodology accounts for minor technical malfunctions experienced by the automatic gauges. 3.3 Results of Hydrology Monitoring Site Data The following hydroperiod statistics were calculated for each monitoring station during the growing • season: 1) most consecutive days that the water table was within twelve inches of the surface; 2) cumulative number of days that the water table was within twelve inches of the soil surface; and 3) number of times that the water table rose to within twelve inches of the soil surface. The results of these calculations are presented in Table 2. Figure 4 provides a chart of the water depth for each of the monitoring gauges on the site. Precipitation is shown across the top of the graph. This graph demonstrates the reaction at each monitoring location of the groundwater level to specific rainfall events. Raw hydrograph data collected from the monitoring gauges is provided in Appendix C. The site was designed to function as a riparian wetland system with associated wet flats. Hydrology in the riparian areas is driven primarily by groundwater discharge and overbank flooding, while • precipitation is the primary hydrologic influence in wet flat areas. Monitoring data indicate that the site is functioning as designed, with varying degrees of wetness and saturation across the site. All gauges have exceeded the 7 percent hydrologic success criterion. Actual hydroperiods experienced across the site during 2006 ranged from 13 percent to 30 percent of the growing season. 6 • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • O I' a? d N cc N.

Data from the Webb reference wetland groundwater gauge failed to exhibit a wetland hydroperiod during the 2006 growing season (Figure 4). Appendix C contains the groundwater gauge data. Climate Data Figure 5 and Table 3 are comparisons of the 2006 monthly rainfall to historical precipitation for Jones County. Observed precipitation data were collected from an automated weather station in Trenton and an on-site manual rain gauge. For the 2006 growing season on-site rainfall measurements correlate well with the Trenton gauge data. The Trenton monthly rainfall amounts were lower than normal for the months of January through March, May, July, and August; within normal limits for April, June, and October; and exceeded normal limits in September and November. Monthly rainfall for data for December 2006 were not available at the time this report was compiled. 8 • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • cz - - c cu J Cl) _ O Cl) cz N c O 4?

Rainfall data indicates that the 2006 growing season was generally within normal limits for the growing season. March however was unusually dry. This is the first month of the growing season and is historically the period when the water table is closest to the surface for the longest continuous period. Based on the positive results from the monitoring gauges and the low rainfall totals, it was concluded that the site is performing as designed. 4.0 VEGETATION 4.1 Vegetation Success Criteria The interim measure of vegetative success for the Marston Mitigation Plan will be survival of at least 320 3-year old planted trees per acre at the end of year 3 of the monitoring period. The final vegetative success criteria will be the survival of 260 5-year old planted trees per acre at the end of year five of the monitoring period. Up to 20 percent of the site species composition may be comprised of volunteers. Remedial action may be required should these (i.e. loblolly pine, red maple, sweet gum, etc.) present a problem and exceed 20 percent composition. 10 Marston Mitigation Site Annual Monitoring Report for 2006 (Year 3) 4.2 Description of Species and Vegetation Monitoring Table 4 describes the tree species planted in the wetland restoration area: Table 4. Planted Tree Soecies ID Scientific Name Common Name FAC Status 1 Nyssa biflora Swamp Tupelo OBL 2 Nyssa sylvatica Blackgum FAC 3 Quercus lyrata Overcup Oak OBL 4 Quercus michauxii Swamp Chestnut Oak FACW- 5 Quercus phellos Coastal Willow Oak FACW- 6 Taxodium distichum Bald Cypress OBL Eight plots were established on the Marston Mitigation Site, to monitor approximately 2 percent of the site. The vegetation monitoring plots were designed to be 1/10th of an acre in size. The plots were randomly located and randomly oriented within the wetland restoration area. All of the planted stems inside the plot were flagged with orange flagging and marked with a 3 foot tall piece of half inch PVC to mark them as the planted stems and to help in locating them in the future. Each stem is tagged with a numbered aluminum tag, though some tags have been damaged by rodents. 4.3 Results of Vegetation Monitoring The following tables present stem counts for each of the monitoring stations. Each planted tree species is identified across the top row, and each plot is identified down the left column. The numbers on the top row correlate to the ID column of the previous table. Trees are flagged in the field on a quarterly basis before the flags degrade. Flags are utilized because they will not interfere with the growth of the tree. Volunteers are also flagged during this process.

Below is a table of the most commonly found woody volunteer species. Volunteer woody species were observed in most all of the vegetation plots, but were deemed too small 11 Marston Mitigation Site Annual Monitoring Report for 2006 (Year 3) to tally. If these trees persist into next growing season, they will be flagged and added to the overall stems per acre assessment of the site. Sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) is the most common volunteer, though Red Maple (Acer rubrum) and Persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) were also observed. The following tree species were identified as volunteers within in the Wetland Restoration Area: Table 6. Volunteer Tree Species ID Scientific Name Common Name FAC Status A Liquidambar styraciflua Sweetgum FAC+ B Acer rubrum Red Maple FAC C Diospyros virginiana Persimmon FAC 4.4 General Vegetation Observations Hydrophytic herbaceous vegetation is abundant onsite. Rush (Juncus effusus), spike-rush (Eleochads obtusa), climbing hempweed (Mikania scandens), tearthumb (Polygonum sagittatum), boxseed (Ludwigia sp.), cat-tails (Typha sp.), and sedge (Carex sp.), all hydrophytic herbaceous plants, were observed across the site, particularly in areas of periodic inundation. The presence of these herbaceous wetland plants helps to confirm the presence of wetland hydrology on the site. There are weedy species occurring on the site, though few seem to be posing any wide spread problems for the woody or herbaceous hydrophytic vegetation. Kudzu is present in low density around the perimeter of the site near Plots 7 and 8; but because the nature of this fast growing invasive plant management of these outlying areas may be necessary again in the future. The area around Plot 3 that was invaded by Lespedeza will continue to be treated for improvement. Management will include mowing that isolated area and an application in the spring of Oust, a pre-emergent. In the late fall and early spring, a temporary flooding technique will be used to change the soil saturation and deter the re- growth of the Lespedeza in this area. Other than the aforementioned area, the other species are weedy annuals and pose very little threat to survivability on site. Commonly seen weeds include ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia), wild dill (Foeniculum vulgare), and morning glory (Ipomoea sp.). The kudzu, lespedeza, and any other threatening invasive vegetation will be monitored and documented in the triannual reports. 4.5 Vegetation Conclusions The site was planted in nonriverine hardwoods and coastal plain swamp species in March 2004. There were eight 1/10th acre vegetation-monitoring plots established throughout the planting areas. The site meets the minimum success interim criteria of 320 trees per acre by the end of year three and is on tract to meet the final success criteria of 260 trees per acre by the end of year five. Active management • will continued to be required within the small area of Lespedeza growth to achieve the final success criteria. 12 0 Marston Mitigation Site Annual Monitoring Report for 2006 (Year 3) 5.0 STREAM MONITORING 5.1 Success Criteria As stated in the approved Mitigation Plan, the stream restoration success criteria for the site include the following: • Bankfull Events: Two bankfull flow events must be documented within the five-year monitoring period. • Cross-Sections: There should be little change in as-built cross-sections. Cross-sections shall be classified using the Rosgen stream classification method and all monitored cross-sections should fall within the quantitative parameters defined for "E" or "C" type channels. • • Longitudinal Profiles: The longitudinal profiles should show that the bedform features are remaining stable, e.g. they are not aggrading or degrading. Bedforms observed should be consistent with those observed in "E" and "C" type channels. • Photo Reference Stations: Photographs will be used to subjectively evaluate channel • aggradation or degradation, bank erosion, success of riparian vegetation and effectiveness of erosion control measures. Benthic Macroinvertebrates: Sampling of benthic macroi nve rteb rates within the restored stream channel shall be conducted for the first three years of post-restoration monitoring. The Year 3 sample will be collected one full year after the completion of construction. Results for Year 1,2 and 3 will appear in report Years 2, 3, and 4. 5.2 Description of Stream Monitoring To document the stated success criteria, the following monitoring program was instituted following construction completion on the Marston Site: Bankfull Events: A crest gauge was installed on the site to document bankfull events. The gauge is checked each month, and records the highest out-of-bank flow event that occurred during the past month. The gauge is located near stream station 60+50 (Figure 3). Cross-Sections: Two permanent cross-sections were installed per 1,000 linear feet of stream restoration work, with one (1) of the locations being a riffle cross-section and one (1) location being a pool cross- section. A total of 13 permanent cross-sections were established across the mitigation site. Each cross- section was marked on both banks with permanent pins to establish the exact transect used. Permanent cross-section pins were surveyed and located relative to a common benchmark to facilitate easy comparison of year-to-year data. The annual cross-section surveys include points measured at all breaks in slope, including top of bank, bankfull, inner berm, edge of water, and thalweg. Riffle cross- sections are classified using the Rosgen stream classification system. Permanent cross-sections for 2006 (Year 3) were surveyed in January 2006. Longitudinal Profiles: A longitudinal profile will be completed in Years 1, 3, and 5. The profile will be conducted for a length of restored channel at least 3,000 feet in length. Measurements will include thalweg, water surface, inner berm, bankfull, and top of low bank. Each of these measurements will be taken at the head of each feature, e.g. riffle, run, pool, and glide, and the max pool depth. A common benchmark will be used each year to facilitate comparison of year-to-year data. Photo Reference Stations: Photographs are used to visually document restoration success. Nine reference photo stations have been established across the Marston Site. Reference stations are marked 13 Marston Mitigation Site Annual Monitoring Report for 2006 (Year 3) • with wooden stakes and GPS coordinates have been determined for each location. Reference photos are taken at least once per year. Reference photos are taken at each permanent cross-section from both streambanks. The survey tape is centered in the photographs of the bank, and the water line is located in the lower edge of the frame with as much of the bank as possible included in each photo. Structure photos of each grade control structure are also taken. A photo log of the Marston site is included as Appendix D. Benthic Macroinvertebrates: Benthic macroi nve rteb rate data will be collected from the reference reach (Beaverdam Branch) and within the project reach. Year 2 post-restoration sampling was done in early 2006. Sample collection will follow protocols described in the standard operating procedures of the Biological Assessment Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality. The Qual-4 collection method will be used for the collection of macroinvertebrate samples. The metrics to be calculated will include total and EPT taxa richness, EPT abundance and biotic index values. 5.3 Results of Stream Monitoring Seven bankfull events on the site were documented during site visits through the use of the onsite crest gauge and visual evidence of out-of-bank flow. The largest stream flow for Year 3 documented by the crest gauge on the site was a flow that occurred during October and was 1.7 feet above the bankfull stage. Based on observations of ponded water, debris lines, and deposited sediment on the floodplain, the bankfull event spread over much of the restored wetland areas adjacent to the stream. • Year 3 cross-section monitoring data for stream stability were collected during September 2006 and compared to baseline data collected in March 2004 (Appendix B). A longitudinal profile survey was conducted along the restoration reach from STA 28+17 (XS 2) to STA 60+74 (XS 11). The longitudinal • profile information documents the elevations and locations of streambed features and in-stream grade control structures (Appendix B). The profile and cross-sections show that there has been very little adjustment to stream profile or dimension since construction. All monitored cross-sections fell within the quantitative parameters defined for "E" or "C" type channels. In-stream structures installed within the restored stream included constructed riffles, log vanes, log weirs, and root wads. Visual observations of structures throughout the past growing season have • indicated that nearly all structures are functioning as designed. Two constructed riffles were installed on the lower end of the project to step the restored stream down to the elevation of the existing channel at the outlet of the project. Small localized areas of erosion were present but do not present a problem to stream stability. All potential problem areas are minor and localized. No corrective . actions are recommended at this time as the channel appears to be moving toward stability. Photographs were taken throughout the monitoring season to document the evolution of the restored • stream channel (see Appendix D). Herbaceous vegetation is dense along the restored stream, making it difficult to take photographs of the stream channel itself. Pools have maintained a variety of depths and habitat qualities, depending on the location and type of scour features (logs, root wads, transplants, etc.). During monthly site visits a consistent stream flow was observed, along with • submerged aquatic vegetation and abundant fish in the channel. 5.4 Stream Benthic Macroinvertebrates • Year 3 benthic macroinvertebrate sampling will be conducted in January 2007 and reported in the 2007 (Year 4) Monitoring Report. 14 Marston Mitigation Site Annual Monitoring Report for 2006 (Year 3) • 6.0 OVERALL CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS • Hydrologic monitoring has shown that the specified wetland hydrology has been achieved throughout the site. All six monitoring gauges recorded consecutive hydroperiods for at • least seven percent of the growing season. • The restored stream channel has remained stable and is providing the intended habitat and hydrologic functions. All monitored cross-sections and profile for 2006 show very little adjustment in stream dimension. The average number of stems per acre on site is 475. This included the isolated zones of replanting that occurred at the beginning of 2006. Management of the weedy vegetation in areas with similar conditions as Plot 3 will be necessary to maintain the trajectory for success. • There are other small pockets of lespedeza that will be treated throughout the site to avoid a repeat of the actions needed around Plot 3. The Kudzu treatment performed throughout this year seems to have successfully suppressed this invasive plant. Monitoring of its presence will be continued. There continues to be an active vole • population but the damage to the planted stems is minimal. Many stems had sprouted from the vole cut planted stems that were observed earlier in the spring. • Monitoring of vegetation, stream stability, and hydrology will continue through 2008. 15 n u E • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • APPENDIX A As-Built Survey 90099000 0000000*00009* 090090 0000 C) 0 z PR OJE c S N -Ul O - 0 ?
