1. Introduction
The Wetland and Floodplain Monitoring Plan was developed in November 2003 as a
requirement of Condition #5 of the North Carolina Division of Water Quality
(NCDWQ) 401 Permit, Water Quality Certification #010263. This certification was
issued for the construction of an approximately 20-acre stormwater wetland along
South Buffalo Creek in Greensboro, North Carolina (Figure 1), by the City of
Greensboro Stormwater Management Division. The monitoring plan was developed to
evaluate the condition of the floodplain forest and the response of the groundwater
table, as this project will increase the frequency, duration, and extent of flooding on the
project site. This Wetland and Floodplain Monitoring Report is the second of five
' annual reports to be submitted to NCDWQ and provides a summary of monitoring
activities conducted in 2005.
Construction was completed on the water level control structure in 2005, but the
structure was not activated. Therefore, the flood regime for South Buffalo Creek was
' not altered from natural conditions. However, disturbed areas were planted with
appropriate wetland vegetation. As outlined in the Wetland and Floodplain
Monitoring Plan, this report has three main components: vegetation monitoring,
groundwater hydrology monitoring, and visual monitoring.
2. Vegetation Monitoring
' Vegetation monitoring was conducted on planted vegetation in disturbed areas,
existing vegetation in undisturbed areas, and tagged trees in undisturbed areas.
' Vegetation monitoring was conducted on October 11, 12, and 21, 2005.
Species biodiversity was measured using the Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index and
' Simpson's Measure of Evenness for understory vegetation. Diversity is defined by
both species richness (R) and species evenness (E) - how equally abundant the species
are. The Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index (H) is calculated using the formula H = -
' ZPi In P; where P; is the proportion of the total number of species in the community
made up of the ith species. The Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index (H) ranges from 0
(low diversity) to R (high diversity). Evenness is calculated using the formula E _
' H/ln(R). Evenness ranges from 1 (species are equally abundant) to 0 (one species
present).

2.1 Disturbed Areas
2.1.1 Tree Species
2.1.1.1 Methods
Eight plots measuring 0.025 acre per plot were established within areas that were
disturbed for construction on the facility (Figure 2). These disturbed areas were
planted in February 2005 with the vegetation listed in Wetland and Floodplain
Monitoring Plan. The approximate location of each plot was determined by the City of
Greensboro. At least one plot was located in each disturbed area over 1.0 acre. Seven
of the plots were circular with an 18-foot radius. In order to sample only the disturbed
area, D3 was a rectangular plot measuring 50-feet by 20-feet. Plot centers (or plot
corners for D3) were marked by a 2-foot piece of re-bar driven into the ground with 3
inches above ground marked with a cap and by a wooden stake with the coordinates
and name of the plot. For planted and volunteer tree species, the species, height, and
density were determined. Volunteer understory woody and herbaceous vegetation
were sampled for species and density only.
2- 1.1.2 Results
Tree species occurred at an average density of 440 stems per acre with an average
height of 1.9 feet. This density exceeds the NCDWQ and United States Army Corps of
Engineers success criteria for wetland restoration of at least 320 stems per acre.
Individually, all plots except D8 meet this criterion (Table 1). D3, DI, and D4 have
the highest densities; however, D5, D3, and D6 have the largest growth, respectively.
An abundance of standing water in D8 may have reduced the survival of planted trees.
However, this plot had a high diversity of herbaceous vegetation (Table 3). Planting of
' additional trees in not recommended until the water control structure is operational and
additional monitoring is conducted

area. Quercus shumardii dominated the disturbed areas with 61 percent followed by
Quercus phellos and Quercus nigra with 16 and 12 percent, respectively. This is
different than the planting plan, which indicated a diversity of 20 percent each for
' Quercus shumardii, Quercus phellos, Quercus nigra, and Quercus michauxii.
Complete results for each plot are listed in Appendix A.

2.1.2 Understory Species
2.1.2.1 Methods
' Density of woody and herbaceous understory species was estimated as percent
coverage for each of the eight 0.025-acre plots established for monitoring of tree
1 species. Identification of understory species was reported as genus and species.
However, some vegetation was reported as genus only due to missing fruiting structure
or uncertainty in identification. The following categories were used to classify percent

South Buffalo Creek

Project
Wetland and Floodplain
Monitoring Report: 2005
coverage of each species: >50 percent, 50-25 percent, 25-5 percent, 5-1 percent, and
less than 1 percent. For the Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index and Simpson's Measure
of Evenness, the following estimated stems were assigned to each percent coverage
category: 75, 37, 15, 3, and 1 respectively. Species richness (R), total estimated
number of stems (l), Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index (H), and Simpson's Measure
of Evenness (E) were calculated for each plot.
2.1.2.2 Results
Currently, grasses and sedges dominate much of the vegetation. Species common at
most plots include Boltania asteroidees, Juncus ef?usus, Polygonum pensylvanicum,
Polygonum punctatum, and Setaria geniculata. Microstegium vimineum, an invasive,
exotic species, is dominant at D3 and D6. This species could out-compete native
species. At least 80 percent of the understory vegetation in the disturbed plots is
' obligate wetland, facultative wetland, or facultative. Table 3 summarizes the results
for each plot.

' 2.2.1 Tree Species
2.2.1.1 Methods

Vegetation in undisturbed areas was monitored using 0.1-acre plots. Six circular plots
with 37-foot radius were established is a uniform pattern throughout the undisturbed
portions of the site (Figure 3). The approximate location of the plots was determined
by the City of Greensboro and the exact location selected to most accurately represent
average forest conditions. Overstory trees were identified by species and the diameter
at breast height (DBH) (4.5 feet about the ground surface) was measured, rounding
down to the nearest 0.1 inch. Trees with a DBH greater than 3 inches were categorized
as overstory trees.
2.2.1.2 Results
Average basal area for the tract is 80.2 square feet per acre W/acre) based on 89 trees
consisting of 7 different species (Table 4). Approximately 94 percent of the overstory
tree species have facultative wetland status. Fraxinus pennsylvanica and Celtis
' Iaevigata are the two dominant species in the existing forest. Appendix C has a
complete list of all trees surveyed, health status, DBH, and basal area.

1 2.2.2 Understory Species
2.2.2.1 Methods
Density of woody and herbaceous understory species was estimated as percent
coverage for each of the six 0.1-acre plots established for monitoring tree species.
Understory species were classified as understory trees (less than 3 inch DBH and
greater than 5 feet high), shrub (less than 5 feet high), vine, or herbaceous. The
following categories were used to classify percent coverage of each species: >50
percent, 50-25 percent, 25-5 percent, 5-1 percent, and less than Ipercent. For
Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index and Simpson's Measure of Evenness, the following
estimated stem values were assigned to each percent coverage category: 75, 37, 15, 3,
and 1 respectively. Species richness (R), total number of stems (1), Shannon-Weaver
Diversity Index (H), and Simpson's Measure of Evenness (E) were calculated for each
plot.
2.2.2.2 Results
Appendix D lists the results for each plot by species name, canopy layer
(understory/shrub/vine/herbaceous), percent coverage, and estimated relative number
of stems. Table 5 lists the species richness (R), total number of stems (l), Shannon-
Weaver Diversity Index (H), and Simpson's Measure of Evenness (E).

Fifty-one different species are found in the understory of the undisturbed areas. Acer
negundo, Lonicera japonica, and Rubus sp. dominate the plots in greatest coverage.
Rosa multiflora is found at four of six of the plots followed by Acer negundo, Lonicera
japonica, Rubus sp., Celtis laevigata, and Vitus labrusca each occurring in three of the
plots.

Overall, the understory vegetation in the undisturbed areas is dominated by understory
trees similar in composition to the canopy trees and by vines often growing on the
' canopy trees. All plots except L ND12 have less than 5 percent herbaceous vegetation.
UND12 has 25-50 percent coverage from Impatiens capensis. The shrub layer is
sparse except where there is a break in the canopy. Shrub layer density is greater at
plots UND9, UND 11, and UND 12 where Rosa multiflora and Rubus sp. are abundant.
2.3 Tagged Tree Areas
2.3.1 Methods
Overstory trees greater than 3-inch DBH were tagged in 2001 in seven 676-fe (33-foot
radius) plots (Figure 4). The DBH of these trees were re-measured on October 11,
2005. As described in Section 2.2.1.1, the diameter is measured at 4.5 feet above the
ground surface and was measured rounding down to the nearest 0.1 inch. The health of
the tree was estimated and categorized as L - living, S - sick, D - dead and standing,
or DD - dead and down.
2.3.2 Results
Of 199 trees classified as living or sick in 2001, 176 trees, or 88 percent, survived in
2005 (Table 6). In 2005, three Fraxinus pennsylvanica classified as dead in 2004 are
re-classified to living (2 trees) and sick (1 tree), respectively. The number of downed
trees did not change while the number of dead trees increased from 26 to 34.

Complete results are listed in Appendix E. All 11 trees that experienced mortality were
Fraxinus pennsylvanica. None of the tree mortality occurred in plots #3 or #4.

1 3. Groundwater Hydrology Monitoring
1 3.1 Methods

Ten water table wells were installed in June 2001. Continuous groundwater level data
were collected until May 2005 (Figure 5). In June 2005, NCDWQ agreed with
recommendations from Dr. Jim Gregory of North Carolina State University that
continuous groundwater level data would no longer be necessary (Appendix F).
Current and future monitoring will consist of manual groundwater level measurements
at 2-week intervals. One continuous groundwater level recorder was re-installed.
Once the water level control structure is operating, daily water table measurements will
be taken after rainfall events have triggered the structure.
Manual measurements were taken at all ten wells using a Mini 101 Water Level Meter
(Solinst) once a month except for March 2005. The continuous level recorder is a
Solinst Levelogger (Model 3001 M5). Rainfall data were obtained from the United
States Geological Survey (USGS) gaging station #02094770, which is located 1.1
miles downstream of the project site at Randleman Road. At the time of this report,
rainfall data on December 15, 2005, were not available at this site. For this day,
rainfall data were obtained for the USGS gaging station #02904775, which is
approximately 1.2 miles southeast of the project site.
3.2 Results
Annual rainfall for 2005 is 33.6 inches, which is 9.6 inches below the normal annual
rainfall for Guilford County (Table 7). Therefore, the groundwater levels are expected
to be lower than normal for the 2005 monitoring period.

Monthly data from the manual readings since 2001 are located in Appendix G.
Monthly manual water table readings are plotted with monthly rainfall amounts and are
displayed in Appendix H. A monthly reading was not taken in March 2005.
Groundwater hydrology for 2005 represents a typical cycle with the water table near or
above the ground surface in January, February, March and April and then dropping
during the growing season (May-October). The water table remained low in wells 2, 3,
and 4 into November and December with the water table rising in the wells farther
away from South Buffalo Creek.
4. Visual Monitoring
The approximate location of six photo reference points was selected by the City of
Greensboro to monitor the re-vegetation of disturbed areas. The plots were established
and digital photos were taken in October 2005. The points are marked by a 2-foot re-
bar driven into the ground and a wooden stake with the plot identification number and
coordinates. The coordinates of the reference points, photos and bearing of the photos
are located in Appendix I.

RE: Groundwater monitoring
Greensboro Stormwater Management Project on South Buffalo Creek
DWQ # 01-0263; Action ID 260120540
Guilford County
The purpose of the letter is to respond to correspondence from the City of Greensboro
dated May 2, 2005 and our phone conversation yesterday. DWQ believes that it will not
be necessary to continue the usage and maintenance of Solinst Leveloggers to record
continuous hydrological data since three years worth of continuous hydrological data
has been taken. At this time with regards to future monitoring, DWQ requests that the
City of Greensboro follows the recommendations as defined by Dr. Jim Gregory of NC
State University:
1. Continue manual water level measurements in the 10 wells at two-week intervals
as the baseline water table data set for comparing long terra "before/after" water
table trends.

11
1

2. When construction on the water control structure is completed to specifications
and will result in inundation of the floodplain, than re-install at least one automatic
recorder at a representative location to determine the floodwater retention time.
Alternatively, take daily manual measurements for 2-3 days after occasional
rainfall events that produce significant inundation.
Please feel free to call if you have any additional questions.
Sincerely,

1. Introduction
The Wetland and Floodplain Monitoring Plan was developed in November 2003 as a
requirement of Condition #5 of the North Carolina Division of Water Quality
(NCDWQ) 401 Permit, Water Quality Certification #010263. This certification was
issued for the construction of an approximately 20-acre stormwater wetland along
South Buffalo Creek in Greensboro, North Carolina (Figure 1), by the City of
Greensboro Stormwater Management Division. The monitoring plan was developed to
evaluate the condition of the floodplain forest and the response of the groundwater
table, as this project will increase the frequency, duration, and extent of flooding on the
project site. This Wetland and Floodplain Monitoring Report is the second of five
' annual reports to be submitted to NCDWQ and provides a summary of monitoring
activities conducted in 2005.
Construction was completed on the water level control structure in 2005, but the
structure was not activated. Therefore, the flood regime for South Buffalo Creek was
' not altered from natural conditions. However, disturbed areas were planted with
appropriate wetland vegetation. As outlined in the Wetland and Floodplain
Monitoring Plan, this report has three main components: vegetation monitoring,
groundwater hydrology monitoring, and visual monitoring.
2. Vegetation Monitoring
' Vegetation monitoring was conducted on planted vegetation in disturbed areas,
existing vegetation in undisturbed areas, and tagged trees in undisturbed areas.
' Vegetation monitoring was conducted on October 11, 12, and 21, 2005.
Species biodiversity was measured using the Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index and
' Simpson's Measure of Evenness for understory vegetation. Diversity is defined by
both species richness (R) and species evenness (E) - how equally abundant the species
are. The Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index (H) is calculated using the formula H = -
' ZPi In P; where P; is the proportion of the total number of species in the community
made up of the ith species. The Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index (H) ranges from 0
(low diversity) to R (high diversity). Evenness is calculated using the formula E _
' H/ln(R). Evenness ranges from 1 (species are equally abundant) to 0 (one species
present).

2.1 Disturbed Areas
2.1.1 Tree Species
2.1.1.1 Methods
Eight plots measuring 0.025 acre per plot were established within areas that were
disturbed for construction on the facility (Figure 2). These disturbed areas were
planted in February 2005 with the vegetation listed in Wetland and Floodplain
Monitoring Plan. The approximate location of each plot was determined by the City of
Greensboro. At least one plot was located in each disturbed area over 1.0 acre. Seven
of the plots were circular with an 18-foot radius. In order to sample only the disturbed
area, D3 was a rectangular plot measuring 50-feet by 20-feet. Plot centers (or plot
corners for D3) were marked by a 2-foot piece of re-bar driven into the ground with 3
inches above ground marked with a cap and by a wooden stake with the coordinates
and name of the plot. For planted and volunteer tree species, the species, height, and
density were determined. Volunteer understory woody and herbaceous vegetation
were sampled for species and density only.
2- 1.1.2 Results
Tree species occurred at an average density of 440 stems per acre with an average
height of 1.9 feet. This density exceeds the NCDWQ and United States Army Corps of
Engineers success criteria for wetland restoration of at least 320 stems per acre.
Individually, all plots except D8 meet this criterion (Table 1). D3, DI, and D4 have
the highest densities; however, D5, D3, and D6 have the largest growth, respectively.
An abundance of standing water in D8 may have reduced the survival of planted trees.
However, this plot had a high diversity of herbaceous vegetation (Table 3). Planting of
' additional trees in not recommended until the water control structure is operational and
additional monitoring is conducted

Quercus phellos and Quercus nigra with 16 and 12 percent, respectively. This is
different than the planting plan, which indicated a diversity of 20 percent each for
' Quercus shumardii, Quercus phellos, Quercus nigra, and Quercus michauxii.
Complete results for each plot are listed in Appendix A.

2.1.2 Understory Species
2.1.2.1 Methods
' Density of woody and herbaceous understory species was estimated as percent
coverage for each of the eight 0.025-acre plots established for monitoring of tree
1 species. Identification of understory species was reported as genus and species.
However, some vegetation was reported as genus only due to missing fruiting structure
or uncertainty in identification. The following categories were used to classify percent

South Buffalo Creek

Project
Wetland and Floodplain
Monitoring Report: 2005
coverage of each species: >50 percent, 50-25 percent, 25-5 percent, 5-1 percent, and
less than 1 percent. For the Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index and Simpson's Measure
of Evenness, the following estimated stems were assigned to each percent coverage
category: 75, 37, 15, 3, and 1 respectively. Species richness (R), total estimated
number of stems (l), Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index (H), and Simpson's Measure
of Evenness (E) were calculated for each plot.
2.1.2.2 Results
Currently, grasses and sedges dominate much of the vegetation. Species common at
most plots include Boltania asteroidees, Juncus ef?usus, Polygonum pensylvanicum,
Polygonum punctatum, and Setaria geniculata. Microstegium vimineum, an invasive,
exotic species, is dominant at D3 and D6. This species could out-compete native
species. At least 80 percent of the understory vegetation in the disturbed plots is
' obligate wetland, facultative wetland, or facultative. Table 3 summarizes the results
for each plot.

' 2.2.1 Tree Species
2.2.1.1 Methods

Vegetation in undisturbed areas was monitored using 0.1-acre plots. Six circular plots
with 37-foot radius were established is a uniform pattern throughout the undisturbed
portions of the site (Figure 3). The approximate location of the plots was determined
by the City of Greensboro and the exact location selected to most accurately represent
average forest conditions. Overstory trees were identified by species and the diameter
at breast height (DBH) (4.5 feet about the ground surface) was measured, rounding
down to the nearest 0.1 inch. Trees with a DBH greater than 3 inches were categorized
as overstory trees.
2.2.1.2 Results
Average basal area for the tract is 80.2 square feet per acre W/acre) based on 89 trees
consisting of 7 different species (Table 4). Approximately 94 percent of the overstory
tree species have facultative wetland status. Fraxinus pennsylvanica and Celtis
' Iaevigata are the two dominant species in the existing forest. Appendix C has a
complete list of all trees surveyed, health status, DBH, and basal area.

1 2.2.2 Understory Species
2.2.2.1 Methods
Density of woody and herbaceous understory species was estimated as percent
coverage for each of the six 0.1-acre plots established for monitoring tree species.
Understory species were classified as understory trees (less than 3 inch DBH and
greater than 5 feet high), shrub (less than 5 feet high), vine, or herbaceous. The
following categories were used to classify percent coverage of each species: >50
percent, 50-25 percent, 25-5 percent, 5-1 percent, and less than Ipercent. For
Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index and Simpson's Measure of Evenness, the following
estimated stem values were assigned to each percent coverage category: 75, 37, 15, 3,
and 1 respectively. Species richness (R), total number of stems (1), Shannon-Weaver
Diversity Index (H), and Simpson's Measure of Evenness (E) were calculated for each
plot.
2.2.2.2 Results
Appendix D lists the results for each plot by species name, canopy layer
(understory/shrub/vine/herbaceous), percent coverage, and estimated relative number
of stems. Table 5 lists the species richness (R), total number of stems (l), Shannon-
Weaver Diversity Index (H), and Simpson's Measure of Evenness (E).

Fifty-one different species are found in the understory of the undisturbed areas. Acer
negundo, Lonicera japonica, and Rubus sp. dominate the plots in greatest coverage.
Rosa multiflora is found at four of six of the plots followed by Acer negundo, Lonicera
japonica, Rubus sp., Celtis laevigata, and Vitus labrusca each occurring in three of the
plots.

Overall, the understory vegetation in the undisturbed areas is dominated by understory
trees similar in composition to the canopy trees and by vines often growing on the
' canopy trees. All plots except L ND12 have less than 5 percent herbaceous vegetation.
UND12 has 25-50 percent coverage from Impatiens capensis. The shrub layer is
sparse except where there is a break in the canopy. Shrub layer density is greater at
plots UND9, UND 11, and UND 12 where Rosa multiflora and Rubus sp. are abundant.
2.3 Tagged Tree Areas
2.3.1 Methods
Overstory trees greater than 3-inch DBH were tagged in 2001 in seven 676-fe (33-foot
radius) plots (Figure 4). The DBH of these trees were re-measured on October 11,
2005. As described in Section 2.2.1.1, the diameter is measured at 4.5 feet above the
ground surface and was measured rounding down to the nearest 0.1 inch. The health of
the tree was estimated and categorized as L - living, S - sick, D - dead and standing,
or DD - dead and down.
2.3.2 Results
Of 199 trees classified as living or sick in 2001, 176 trees, or 88 percent, survived in
2005 (Table 6). In 2005, three Fraxinus pennsylvanica classified as dead in 2004 are
re-classified to living (2 trees) and sick (1 tree), respectively. The number of downed
trees did not change while the number of dead trees increased from 26 to 34.

Complete results are listed in Appendix E. All 11 trees that experienced mortality were
Fraxinus pennsylvanica. None of the tree mortality occurred in plots #3 or #4.

1 3. Groundwater Hydrology Monitoring
1 3.1 Methods

Ten water table wells were installed in June 2001. Continuous groundwater level data
were collected until May 2005 (Figure 5). In June 2005, NCDWQ agreed with
recommendations from Dr. Jim Gregory of North Carolina State University that
continuous groundwater level data would no longer be necessary (Appendix F).
Current and future monitoring will consist of manual groundwater level measurements
at 2-week intervals. One continuous groundwater level recorder was re-installed.
Once the water level control structure is operating, daily water table measurements will
be taken after rainfall events have triggered the structure.
Manual measurements were taken at all ten wells using a Mini 101 Water Level Meter
(Solinst) once a month except for March 2005. The continuous level recorder is a
Solinst Levelogger (Model 3001 M5). Rainfall data were obtained from the United
States Geological Survey (USGS) gaging station #02094770, which is located 1.1
miles downstream of the project site at Randleman Road. At the time of this report,
rainfall data on December 15, 2005, were not available at this site. For this day,
rainfall data were obtained for the USGS gaging station #02904775, which is
approximately 1.2 miles southeast of the project site.
3.2 Results
Annual rainfall for 2005 is 33.6 inches, which is 9.6 inches below the normal annual
rainfall for Guilford County (Table 7). Therefore, the groundwater levels are expected
to be lower than normal for the 2005 monitoring period.

Monthly data from the manual readings since 2001 are located in Appendix G.
Monthly manual water table readings are plotted with monthly rainfall amounts and are
displayed in Appendix H. A monthly reading was not taken in March 2005.
Groundwater hydrology for 2005 represents a typical cycle with the water table near or
above the ground surface in January, February, March and April and then dropping
during the growing season (May-October). The water table remained low in wells 2, 3,
and 4 into November and December with the water table rising in the wells farther
away from South Buffalo Creek.
4. Visual Monitoring
The approximate location of six photo reference points was selected by the City of
Greensboro to monitor the re-vegetation of disturbed areas. The plots were established
and digital photos were taken in October 2005. The points are marked by a 2-foot re-
bar driven into the ground and a wooden stake with the plot identification number and
coordinates. The coordinates of the reference points, photos and bearing of the photos
are located in Appendix I.

RE: Groundwater monitoring
Greensboro Stormwater Management Project on South Buffalo Creek
DWQ # 01-0263; Action ID 260120540
Guilford County
The purpose of the letter is to respond to correspondence from the City of Greensboro
dated May 2, 2005 and our phone conversation yesterday. DWQ believes that it will not
be necessary to continue the usage and maintenance of Solinst Leveloggers to record
continuous hydrological data since three years worth of continuous hydrological data
has been taken. At this time with regards to future monitoring, DWQ requests that the
City of Greensboro follows the recommendations as defined by Dr. Jim Gregory of NC
State University:
1. Continue manual water level measurements in the 10 wells at two-week intervals
as the baseline water table data set for comparing long terra "before/after" water
table trends.

11

2. When construction on the water control structure is completed to specifications
and will result in inundation of the floodplain, than re-install at least one automatic
recorder at a representative location to determine the floodwater retention time.
Alternatively, take daily manual measurements for 2-3 days after occasional
rainfall events that produce significant inundation.
Please feel free to call if you have any additional questions.
Sincerely,

Introduction
The Wetland and Floodplain Monitoring Plan was developed in November 2003 as a
requirement of Condition #5 of Water Quality Certification # 010263. This monitoring plan is
essential in evaluating the forested floodplain health and the groundwater table response, as
this project will alter and increase the frequency, duration, and extent of flooding on the project
site. In brief, the Wetland and Floodplain Monitoring Plan consists of three main components:
1. Vegetation Monitoring to monitor floodplain health and biodiversity, including:
a. planted vegetation in disturbed areas,
b. existing vegetation within the undisturbed floodplain forest, and
c. tagged trees from a previous NC State graduate study.
2. Groundwater Hydrology Monitoring utilizing a series of groundwater wells, and
3. Visual Monitoring by digital photographs to document project progress and changes.
Due to ongoing construction-related delays, the South Buffalo Creek Stormwater Wetland
Project is still under construction and not fully functional yet, therefore it is not altering the flood
regime of South Buffalo Creek at this time. As a result, several of the monitoring activities
described in the November 2003 Wetland and Floodplain Monitoring Plan have not yet taken
place. The following Wetland and Floodplain Monitoring Report is the first of five annual reports
to be submitted and provides a summary of monitoring activities conducted during 2004.

Vegetation Monitoring
Disturbed Areas:
Due to ongoing construction delays throughout 2004, the South Buffalo Creek Stormwater
Wetland Project is still not fully functional. The disturbed areas were planted with the prescribed
wetland vegetation on February 8, 2005. Disturbed area plots will be monitored as specified in
the Wetland and Vegetation Monitoring Plan in the fall of 2005 for survival, density, height, and
composition of planted vs. volunteer species. It is currently envisioned that this monitoring will
be completed through a contractual agreement with an independent contractor.
Undisturbed Areas:
Again, due to ongoing construction delays throughout 2004, the South Buffalo Creek
Stormwater Wetland Project is still not fully functional. Undisturbed area plots have not been
established and no monitoring activity took place in 2004. It is anticipated that a contractor will
be selected in 2005 to establish the plots and collect the required monitoring data.
Tagged Tree Areas:
Methods
Existing tagged trees within the project area's seven study plots (Figure 2) were monitored for
survival and growth (measured as DBH) on December 28, 2004. The initial Wetland and
Floodplain Monitoring Plan states "two hundred and seventy three (273) trees are identified in
the study area within seven (7) plots", however following a thorough review of the existing data
and observations of the tagged trees while in the field, only 226 tagged trees actually exist.
Health and survival of trees were observed and described in one of the four following ways:
L - Live
S - Sick
D - Dead (and standing)
DD - Dead (and down)
The DBH of each tagged tree was measured (inches) and compared to the initial measurements
established in 2001.

Results
Survival and Mortality
Out of 199 tagged trees classified as either Live (L) or Sick (S) in 2001, a total of 183 trees, or
92%, survived through 2004. Only 16 trees classified as either L or S in 2001 are now classified
as either D or DD.
Of the 16 trees that experienced mortality, 15 were Green Ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) and
one was a Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis). Green Ash experienced over 93% of the tagged
tree mortality, while making up only 83% of the total tagged tree abundance.
Survival within the seven study plots ranged from 85.7% to 96.2%. Plots #3 and #4
experienced the highest rates of survival (96.2% each). Plot #5 experienced one of the lowest
rates of survival (86.7%), and observed beaver activity may continue to contribute to lower
survival rates in this specific plot.
Growth
DBH for all tagged trees was measured in 2004 and compared to original DBHs recorded in
2001. When combined across all study plots, Green Ash experienced the least amount of
growth on average, while Box Elder (Acer negundo), Hackberry (Celtis laevigata), and Red
Maple (Acer rubrum) all experienced the greatest amount of growth (Table 1). However, small
sample sizes (N) must be taken into account when making these comparisons.

Average growth of tagged trees by study plot was also observed. When all species were
combined, trees in Plot #3 experienced the greatest amount of growth compared to trees in
other study plots (0.32"; Table 2). Plot #3 has a relatively large proportion of Hackberry
compared to other study plots (48%), which is one of the tree species that experienced the
greatest amount of growth on average (Table 1).

Groundwater Monitoring:
Methods
Ten water table wells were installed in June 2001, and are currently measured on a monthly
basis (Figure 3). Manual measurements are taken at all ten wells using a Mini 101 Water Level
Meter (Solinst). In addition to the manual measurements, Solinst Leveloggers (Model 3001
M5), with 4.5-m cords, were installed on six of the wells to continuously log water table levels.
Rainfall data was also recorded and was obtained from the USGS gauging station #02094770,
which is located 1.7 km downstream of the project site.
Results
Total monthly rainfall data from January 2001 to December 2004 is presented in tabular format
in Appendix 2, while manual monthly water table well data is also presented in tabular format in
Appendix 3. Trends in groundwater hydrology (including rainfall data) at the ten wells are
graphically illustrated in Appendices 4 and 5.
Manual monthly water table well data for all ten wells were first collected in June 2001. The
figures included in Appendix 4 present monthly water table depth measurements (blue line) to
illustrate water table trends over a four year period. Monthly rainfall totals (red bars) are also
included on the graph to show any influence from precipitation.
Continuous water table well data has been collected since February 2002 at Well #2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
and 7 (60-min. intervals). Appendix 5 includes individual graphs of each well for the calendar
years 2002, 2003, and 2004. In general, sharp spikes in the water table (blue line) can be seen
in most of the graphs, and there appears to be a strong correlation between these spikes and
heavy precipitation events (though no statistical analyses have been performed for this report).
Precipitation totals are again represented in the graphs by vertical red bars. Gaps in the trend
lines were a result of unavailable data due to maintenance issues with the Leveloggers.

Photo Reference Points
Due to ongoing construction-related delays, the South Buffalo Creek Stormwater Wetland
Project is currently still under construction and not fully functional. Photo reference points have
been identified and will be permanently established following re-planting efforts in
February/March 2005. Additionally, there are numerous duplicate photo reference points
throughout the wetland area in compliance with the Clean Water Management Trust Fund's
grant requirements. Many of these photo reference points will serve to document appropriate
progress and will meet the intent of this plan. Numerous and periodic photos have already been
taken of the project site and will be incorporated into future reports.
