C. TURNER TRACT WETLANDS MONITORING REPORT (2017)

At last month’s meeting, Mrs. Updike inquired about monthly invoices from the Timmons Group related to wetlands monitoring. Since another invoice is in this month’s agenda, I thought it may be helpful for you to see an example of the report that they prepare on our behalf and submit to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USCOE) in accordance with the terms of our 2009 permit to develop the Industrial Park. A copy of the last submitted report (2017) is attached. Our permit required us to submit six (6) annual monitoring reports – one each at the end of the growing season in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2020. Among other things, the permit requires that site visits be made prior to the start of each growing season to calibrate and verify that the eight (8) monitoring wells are in working order and checking site conditions. Additional site visits are required to photo document vegetative success. The annual cost of making the required site visits and producing the annual report is $15,600. Upon submittal of a successful report at the end of this year, we will have met our obligations to the USCOE, the permit will be terminated, and no further monitoring will be required.

About Camp

out-of-school youth program to help youth ages 16 to 24 receive career guidance and certification training. Also in fall, we saw a 6.30 increase in regular full-time enrollment (FTE) as compared to fall 2017. In addition, as we announced in a release in February 2019, our Upward Bound program increased its number of students completing post-secondary degrees by 41.5 percent as compared to the year before. A donation from Anthem allowed us to expand our food pantries to help students dealing with food insecurity, and through our partnership with the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore, we continue to address the many needs of our students. We also celebrated students who were the first to be inducted into the National Society of Leadership and Success. To top it off in June 2019, we celebrated the grand opening of our Regional Warehouse and Distribution Training Facility. Without your support, we would not be able to report such achievements. Thank you for all that you do for our students and community!

PRESIDENT’S

Paul D. Camp Community College has demonstrated a consistency of significant achievements throughout time, and the 2018-19 academic year is no exception. While we continually focus on student success, this entails helping our students stay focused and engaged in order to reach their academic and career goals. The college gave kudos to our fourth Valley Protein Fellowship recipient in fall 2018 and hosted for the second year, a Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) camp for middle school aged girls, thanks to a Verizon Innovative Learning grant and a partnership with National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship. Funding was also provided by the Hampton Roads Workforce Council to launch an

Paul D. Camp Community College Gets a Fresh New Look

The community may have noticed a “facelift” of sorts on materials and promotions as Paul D. Camp Community College launched its new branding at the end of June 2019. Although the official name of the college will remain the same, a more modern look was created by Lawler Ballard Van Durand Advertising (LBVD), along with the college’s Foundation Board President James Schloss acting as facilitator on the project. He has extensive experience in marketing, having worked in the field for Sara Lee and more recently, Smithfield Foods. The ad agency is headquartered in Birmingham, Ala., and Atlanta, Ga. Camp has undertaken a lot of new projects and enhancements since the hiring of its new President Dr. Daniel Lufkin in 2016, including the expansion of relevant programs and the addition of an athletics program. “There is a lot going on here at the college,” said Lufkin. “We will be coming up on our 50th anniversary in 2021, and the ad agency has provided a more modern, futuristic branding that will lend more consistency while preserving our history as we move forward through the next 50 years.” An old logo of the college depicted pine trees, reflecting the rich history of the area and the college’s origins, particularly the lumber company, Camp Manufacturing, that Paul D. Camp and his brothers founded in 1887. The more than 80 acres of land for the first campus in Franklin was donated by Camp’s daughters nearly 50 years after his death. Later another logo that included the website URL and tagline “Get Ahead” was used. The latest tagline invites students and potential students to “Grow Your Future,” referring to the fact that the college can help students achieve their goals, whether one is seeking an associate’s degree, courses before transferring to a four-year institution, or credentials that can qualify them to begin working more quickly than with a degree. According to LBVD, the new logo features “strong but open type treatment that grounds the logo.” The gradient graphic to the left of the wording depicts pine needles that symbolize growth and renewal.

According to Balderson, she was assigned to the ICE project at Langley, where she worked on the research, development and testing of new coating materials that prevent ice adhesion. “Specifically, I worked on developing aromatic systems with aliphatic multifunctionalities,” she explained. Balderson has enrolled at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) in Richmond. Her advisor at NASA, Senior Research Surface Scientist Dr. Christopher Wohl, was quick to tout the impact she had on the project. “Lilly has an exciting and bright future ahead of her,” he said. I think VCU will benefit as a result of having her at their university and the Virginia Community College System should be very proud of the education and enthusiasm they have fostered in her.” According to Wohl, the new technology report that included Lilly as a co-inventor was titled, “Durable Contamination Resistant Coatings.” In addition, an abstract, “Reinforcing Additives for Ice Adhesion Reduction Coatings,” lists her as co-author and was submitted to the Annual Meeting of the Adhesion Society. “This experience solidified my love for chemistry, she said. At VCU, I will be developing 3-D printer ink to make a specialized robotics arm over the next year.” The VCU student is pursuing chemistry with a concentration of professional chemist. From there, she plans to earn a Ph.D. in some aspect of chemical engineering. “My exact focus of engineering isn’t clear yet,” she said. “I do know that I want to return to NASA and do more materials research.”

At one moment, 20-year-old Lilly Balderson was on her way to NASA’s Langley Research Center for a golden summer opportunity to conduct research. Ten weeks later, she was already recognized as a co-inventor on a pending patent. A former resident of Wakefield, Balderson was a neuroscience major at Stony Brook University in New York. A change in circumstances led her to return to Virginia, where she ultimately enrolled at Camp Community College with plans to eventually continue her studies at another local four-year university. “I never knew that attending Camp was going to be one of the smartest decisions I’ve ever made,” she said, regarding her experience at the college and the NASA STEM Takes Flight opportunity at Langley Research Center.

NASA Research Opportunity Provides Camp Community College Student Experience of a Lifetime

Alice Adoga had no particular predictions of what lie ahead when she moved to this country. After all, she was more than 6,600 miles away from the only place she knew as home—West Africa, Nigeria. “I was filled with imagination of what was to be and the fear of the unknown,” she recalled. Working as a family services specialist at the City of Franklin Department of Social Services, Adoga is making a difference in the lives of the children and families she serves. “My job provides me with the opportunity to impact lives within this community and to bring about positive change,” she said. “My primary role at the moment is working with

families and children in foster care. I also complete family assessments and investigate reported child abuse and neglect.” But the road to her success was often not an easy one. Despite dealing with cultural and educational system differences, she, along with the help of the guidance counselor, pushed through her senior year at Franklin High School, where she graduated in 2008. “My decision to attend Camp became a gateway to how far I’ve grown academically,” she said. “I received so much guidance and support from the staff and faculty.” However, Adoga was able to grow in more ways than one at Camp, as was evident when she was selected to serve as a Presidential Student Ambassador, inducted into Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society and became an active member in Student Support Services, the Student Leadership Committee and the Student Government Association. “The college also provided an opportunity to study with non-traditional students,” she said. “It created a unique learning dynamic that bridges the gap between real life lessons and textbook knowledge. I enjoyed learning with people of different age groups.” Adoga graduated from Camp Community College with an associate’s degree in General Studies in 2011. She continued her studies at George Mason University, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in 2013 in Psychology. She then attained a Master of Arts degree in Human Services Counseling in 2016 from Liberty University. “I am grateful for my challenges,” she said, “because they led to lifelong friendships and blissful educational experiences.”

During AY2018/2019, the Commonwealth of Virginia, the Federal Government and local/ regional foundations awarded Camp Community College over $2.2 million in grant support. The Virginia Community College System (VCCS) awarded over $900K in Workforce Development and Credential grants. The U.S. Department of Education continued to support both Camp’s Trio Student Support Services ($310,475), its Upward Bound Program ($331,382) and Perkins ($83,865). After months of discussions with manufacturers, offices of Economic Development, local business owners and industry leaders, Camp negotiated a lease for unused warehouse space owned by the Tidewater News in Franklin, VA to renovate and repurpose it into a regional, state-of-the-art Warehouse, Distribution and Logistics facility to train workers in a real-world environment that replicates industry standards. The project was supported by the Hampton Roads Community Foundation ($150K), The Birdsong Foundation ($50K), and Opportunity Inc. ($20K) and was made possible with in-kind labor by The Port of Virginia. The college was granted over $46K from the Verizon Foundation to continue its STEM camp program for middle school girls to get them interested and excited about science, technology, engineering and math. Marketed as a Verizon Innovated Learning (VIL) national initiative, this program featured intense coursework taught by Camp faculty and contracted instructors for three weeks in the summer and during a Saturday class once a month throughout the academic year. Girls were introduced to coding, 3D printing, augmented and virtual reality, and entrepreneurship. The program was administered by the National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship (NACCE).

SCHOLARSHIPS Scholarships at Camp Community College are created by donors who understand the financial hardships that today’s students face. They understand that by investing in the success of students, they are investing in the community. Scholarships can make all the difference in the world to a student pursuing their academic and career goals. At Camp, we strive to provide our students assistance, so that they may remain focused on what matters—successfully completing a degree, certificate, career studies certificate or credentials. For more information about scholarships, visit www.pdc.edu or call the Office for Institutional Advancement, 757-569-6790.

Scholarship recipients, donors and college officials

Hewett began contemplating college early. He took dual enrollment classes while at Southampton High

School before enrolling full time at Camp. His time at Camp proved eventful, as he was selected to receive the distinguished Bobby B. Worrell Scholarship, as well as the Camp to Camp Scholarship. “I was extremely grateful to receive both of these scholarships,” he said. Hewett was also selected to represent the college as a Presidential Student Ambassador and was president of the Science Club. In addition, he worked a part-time job at the Village at Woods Edge and served as an assistant scoutmaster with Troop 125. After Hewett earned an associate degree in general studies and a certificate in general Education, he continued his education at Christopher Newport University in Newport News, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in communication studies in 2016. With an interest in the medical field, he used that passion to ace the EMT class with Isle of Wight Volunteer Rescue Squad. After taking the job at Germanna, he began the application process and rides with the rescue squad in Fredericksburg, where he will be able to use his National Registry Certification, he said. Although Camp was a stepping stone leading to the rewarding work he now carries out for students, he believes that his community college education set him on the right track. “Camp gets a lot of credit for helping me,” he said. “My anatomy, physiology and biology courses instilled that passion in medicine and gave me the extra edge I needed while pursuing my NREMT certification.” He plans to pursue that passion by taking some prerequisite graduate courses while working.

It wasn’t too long ago that Academic Advisor Jordan Hewett stood in the same shoes as the students he now helps. So there is no wonder why the Class of 2013 graduate of Camp has some good firsthand advice to offer at his job at Germanna Community College. “I figured this would be a great opportunity for me to serve the community college student,” Hewett said. “The job allows me to help students as my advisor did for me by guiding them through the enrollment process, and informing them about how to navigate college as a whole.”

From Student to Staff—Camp Community College Graduate Undergoes Role Reversal

Wiggins is a presence at Camp Community College. Standing 6 feet 4 inches tall, he demands attention when he walks through the halls. And although students will attempt to give him a hard time, he assuredly stands his ground against any tomfoolery in his classroom. Kendal Lassiter, a 27-year-old Franklin resident and former student of the welding instructor, said that while Wiggins is a patient teacher, he is firm when he needs to be. He related well to Wiggins, as they often had conversations about hunting, a hobby they had in common. Something else they have in common now is that Wiggins worked as a welding supervisor at Newport News Shipyard before coming to Camp, and now Lassiter, who took his welding class at Camp while at Southampton High School in 2010, works as a welding instructor and welder at the company on the peninsula, now Huntington Ingalls Industries. Wiggins also earned a certificate in Welding from the Newport News Welding School in 1966. “I used what Mr. Wiggins taught me to get through the shipyard welding school,” Lassiter said. “That is where it all started.” He said he loves his job and is confident in the work he performs. Wiggins graduated from the former Southwestern High School in Suffolk. He was drafted into the US Army in 1967 where he received on-the-job training for arming and disarming atomic warhead missiles. Two years later, he left the military as a sergeant. “The most rewarding part of my job is to teach these students and observe their potential,” he said. “And then later learn that they are also gainfully employed as a welder because of my teachings and influence.”

Even at 77 years old, Douglas Wiggins hasn’t given much thought to retiring. That’s because his students are important to the dual enrollment welding instructor who has come full circle at Camp Community College. As an honor graduate who earned a certificate in welding at Camp in 1979, Wiggins returned to his alma mater to teach in 2003. “I thought about sticking around as long as good health prevails,” he said about his teaching career, “especially if I can still help someone in life. I enjoy what I do.”

We are in need of volunteers to help with the building of wheelchair ramps. Some of our previous volunteers have moved out of the area and others are now physically unable to help. Our vulnerable citizens with major stability issues need your help. It is hard to have people on a waiting list who NEED a ramp and we have no help that we can offer. Our funds are limited, therefore the construction is done by our volunteer labor. We will also accept monetary donations to help purchase the supplies needed. If you can help with this project in any way, please call us at 653-3121 and let’s discuss it.

We collected a total of 318 boxes along with other first aid supplies. This is a commenda-ble total since many of the items were donated after the COVID-19 restrictions were in place. They will be distributed through our Mobile Food Distribution. Thank you to all who participated.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

On behalf of the Industrial Development Authority of Southampton County, Timmons Group is submitting the attached Year 7 (2017) Monitoring Report for the Turner Tract Industrial Park Wetland Compensation Area (Site) located in Southampton County, Virginia. This monitoring report is the fifth of six reports discussed in the Compensatory Mitigation Plan (CMP) which was approved by the corresponding individual permits issued by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (Permit #09-0270) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Permit #NAO-2009-0705) on August 27, 2009 and October 8, 2009, respectively. The purpose of the monitoring report is to confirm that the success criteria outlined in the CMP has or is being achieved and to implement corrective action measures as needed. Construction of the wetland restoration efforts was completed in the summer of 2011 followed by the submittal of the As-Built Report, dated September 9, 2011, which provided the baseline information for subsequent monitoring reports. All monitoring activities to date have been performed in accordance with the requirements outlined in the approved CMP. A final monitoring report shall be submitted after monitoring occurs at the end of the growing season in 2020. Following the 2013 (Year 3) monitoring, American beavers (Castor canadensis) constructed dams downstream offsite. The dams have caused backwater flooding to occur within the wetland Cells A, B, and C. Wetland Cell C was impacted the most from the backwater flooding, with an increase of ~1.5 to 2 feet of water, resulting in losses to much of the established native herbaceous vegetation that is not tolerant to the increased water depth. The drowning of native emergent vegetation increased the amount of bare ground, which provided ideal conditions for the re-establishment of invasive emergent vegetation at high densities. It is recommended that beaver activity be monitored and any dams be removed to prevent future backwater flooding and that the treatments previously conducted to control the cattail population be implemented to meet the goals outlined in the CMP. Success criteria goals, stated within the approved CMP, which were fully met during the 2017 monitoring event within the wetland restoration/creation areas (Cells A, B, and C) included wetland hydrology duration, wetland soil formation, and hydrophytic vegetation densities. Native herbaceous vegetation coverage, woody stem densities, and invasive species coverage in Cell A also achieved the success criteria. Success criteria goals not met during the 2017 monitoring event included native herbaceous vegetation coverage and invasive species coverage within Cells B and C. During the 2017 monitoring event, wood stem density and herbaceous cover success criteria requirements were met in all Cells within the upland buffer restoration areas (Cells D, E, and F). Cell D met all requirements outlined in the CMP. A success criteria goal outlined within the approved CMP, which was not achieved within Cells E and F is the invasive vegetation coverage. To fully satisfy the success criteria requirements stated in the CMP, the removal/control of invasive species and re-seeding with a native seed mix is recommended to achieve the goals outlined within the approved CMP.

1.0 INTRODUCTION On behalf of the Industrial Development Authority of Southampton County, Timmons Group is submitting the attached Year 7 (2017) Monitoring Report for the Turner Tract Industrial Park Wetland Compensation Area (Site) located in Southampton County, Virginia. This monitoring report is the fifth of six reports discussed in the Compensatory Mitigation Plan (CMP) which was approved by the corresponding individual permits issued by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (Permit #09-0270) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Permit #NAO-2009-0705) on August 27, 2009 and October 8, 2009, respectively. The purpose of the monitoring report is to confirm that the success criteria outlined in the CMP has or is being achieved and to implement corrective action measures as needed. Construction of the wetland and upland buffer restoration efforts was completed in the summer of 2011 followed by the submittal of the As-Built Report, dated September 9, 2011, which provided the baseline information for subsequent monitoring reports. All monitoring activities to date have been performed in accordance with the requirements outlined in the approved CMP. An additional monitoring report shall be submitted after monitoring occurs at the end of the growing season in 2020. 2.0 MONITORING METHODS 2.1 Visual Description General observations concerning the condition and viability of the restored wetland and upland buffer cells are conducted during the monitoring year. Specific details are gathered when scheduled success monitoring events occur. Data and observations are noted in the monitoring report along with supplemental photographic documentation. Photographs were taken facing each of the cardinal directions (i.e. north, south, east, west) at ground level in all the vegetation monitoring plots. There are cumulatively 37 vegetation monitoring plots within the 3 wetland restoration cells and 3 upland buffer cells. The locations of the vegetation monitoring plots are detailed in Exhibit 1: Monitoring Station Map. 2.2 Hydrology Hydrologic conditions in the wetland restoration areas are actively monitored through the collection of daily recordings from 8 automated monitoring wells, which have been established throughout the Site. These monitoring wells provide a representative sample within each of the 3 wetland restoration cells. During the monitoring year, data collected by the automated monitoring wells is downloaded and analyzed to document groundwater trends relative to observed precipitation and provide a correlation to the number of consecutive days when hydrology is observed within 12 inches of ground surface at each well location. The location of the automated monitoring wells is detailed in Exhibit 1: Monitoring Station Map. 2.3 Vegetation Permanent vegetation monitoring stations have been established at 37 locations in the wetland and upland buffer restoration areas, including 2 in Cell A, 5 in Cell B, 11 in Cell C, 4 in Cell D, 8 in Cell E, and 7 in Cell F. The permanent monitoring stations were established on a random basis at a frequency of approximately 2 plots per acre throughout the approximately 18.40-acre area to obtain representative data throughout the Site. The locations of the vegetation


Page 2

monitoring plots are detailed in Exhibit 1: Monitoring Station Map. Each plot was permanently marked with a PVC stake in the center of each plot so that monitoring can be replicated during future collection events. Data collected from each plot includes:

Dominant vegetation species identification by common and scientific name and wetland indicator status,

Identification of dominant species in each vegetation stratum and the percentage of dominant species FAC or wetter,

The number of native, non-invasive woody stems (both planted and volunteers), Average height of planted woody species, An estimate of the percent coverage of native, non-invasive herbaceous vegetation, An estimate of the percent coverage of invasive plant species, and Collection of ground level photographs taken at each monitoring plot in each of the

cardinal compass directions (i.e. north, south, east, west).

2.4 Soils Soil success criteria (i.e. hydric soil formation) are evaluated for wetland restoration areas located on non-hydric soils consisting of fine textured soils (silts, clays, loams). Groundwater monitoring was used as an indicator test in the restoration cells for the first 2 years following construction, as outlined by the CMP. Monitoring wells must demonstrate free water within 12 inches of the surface for 15 consecutive days during the growing season to provide a positive indicator of hydric soil formation. Following the first 2 monitoring years, hydric soil formation will be achieved by the identification of hydric soil indicators in a soil profile sourced from the respective wetland cell. 3.0 MONITORING RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 3.1 Wetland Restoration/Creation Areas

3.1.1 Visual Description

Field observations during the site visit on November 2, 2017, provide indications of surface and groundwater hydrology within the wetland restoration/creation cells. Surface water and saturation of the soil in the upper 12 inches were documented throughout the wetland cells. These indicators demonstrate periodic and long-term wetland hydrology in these wetland cells. Field observations documented native hydrophytic vegetation is in overall good health; however, the coverage of native invasive vegetation has increased and is at densities that will seasonally restrict the re-establishment of native vegetation. Backwater flooding from beaver activities downstream has drowned the native emergent vegetation and allowed for the establishment of broadleaf cattail. Photographs from each of the vegetation plots, taken facing each of the cardinal directions (i.e. north, south, east, west), are included in Exhibit 2: Vegetation Plot Photographs.

3.1.2 Hydrology

Wetland hydrology is defined by the CMP as saturation of the major part of the root zone (in the upper 12 inches of the soil profile) or ponding upon the soil surface for at least 12.5% of the growing season. The growing season in Southampton County is recognized as the time period


Page 3

between March 24th to November 7th. Based on this growing season period, the growing season length is 228 days and 12.5% of the growing season is 28.5 days. Review of the hydrology data provided by automated well readings indicate that seven (7) of eight (8) wells fully achieved the 12.5% surface saturation target, thereby meeting the requirement stated in the CMP. One (1) monitoring well transducer (TMW-7) was not located, thus data is not provided. It is evident from prior monitoring data taken at TMW-7, and from current well data collected from the nearby monitoring well stations, that hydrology is maintained throughout the Site. Automated well data is provided in Exhibit 3: Monitoring Well Data.

3.1.3 Vegetation

A table which summarizes the vegetation data as well as the data collected at each vegetation monitoring plot is included in Exhibit 4: Vegetation Data. The location of the vegetation plots within the Site is shown in Exhibit 1: Monitoring Station Map. Photographs from each of the vegetation plots, taken facing each of the cardinal compass directions (i.e. north, south, east, west), are included in Exhibit 2: Vegetation Plot Photographs. The results of the 2017 vegetation monitoring within the wetland restoration/creation areas are discussed in detail below. Cell A – Palustrine Forested Wetland (PFO) The 2017 monitoring concludes that the average woody stem density within Cell A is 1,960 stems per acre. These results indicate that Cell A is achieving the woody stem density CMP success criteria goal of 400 stems per acre. The average native herbaceous cover density in the vegetation monitoring plots is 90% which meets the CMP success criteria of 80% cover. Greater than 50% of the woody and herbaceous species found within vegetation monitoring areas had a wetland indicator status of FAC or wetter, thereby meeting the wetland vegetation requirement. No invasive species were observed in Cell A, thereby achieving the CMP success criteria goal of no more than 5% cover of invasive species. Cell B – Palustrine Emergent Wetland (PEM) The results of the 2017 monitoring showed that only a few volunteer black willow (Salix nigra), red maple (Acer rubrum), and sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) stems were identified within Cell B. This low density of stems still constitutes this area as PEM. The average non-invasive, native herbaceous cover density with Cell B did not fully achieve the CMP goal of 80% cover for Year 7 with a density of 57%. However, TWB-VP-3 did meet the goal with 83% native herbaceous cover on an individual plot basis. Greater than 50% of the herbaceous species found within vegetation monitoring areas had a wetland indicator status of FAC or wetter, thereby meeting the wetland vegetation requirement. Invasive species analysis of Cell B showed an average density of 37% cover of broadleaf cattail (Typha latifolia), thereby not meeting the CMP success criteria goal of no more than 5% cover of invasive species. The amount of invasive cattail cover is similar to the Cell B estimate from the 2015 (Year 5) monitoring event, in part due to the persistent backwater flooding caused by offsite beaver activity downstream.


Page 4

Cell C – Palustrine Emergent Wetland (PEM) A few volunteer black willow stems were identified within Cell C during the 2017 monitoring event, but are at such low densities that they do not affect the PEM classification of the Cell. The average non-invasive, native herbaceous cover density within Cell B did not fully achieve the CMP goal of 80% cover for Year 7, with a density of 63%. However, on an individual plot basis, 5 of the 11 plots (TWC-VP-1, TWC-VP-3, TWC-VP-8, TWC-VP-9 and TWC-VP-11) did meet the goal with greater than 80% cover. Greater than 50% of the herbaceous species found within vegetation monitoring areas had a wetland indicator status of FAC or wetter, thereby meeting the wetland vegetation requirement. Invasive species analysis of Cell C showed an average density of 37% cover by broadleaf cattail, thereby failing to meet the CMP success criteria goal of no more than 5% cover of invasive species. The amount of invasive cattail cover has increased within Cell C from the 2015 (Year 5) monitoring event, due to the backwater flooding caused by offsite beaver activity downstream.

3.1.4 Soils

Monitoring of the formation of wetland soils was conducted in association with wetland restoration Cells A, B, and C. Each soil profile was taken at monitoring well locations within these Cells. Analysis of the 2017 soil data showed that all the profiles are achieving the hydric soil success requirement with the presence of a depleted matrix, surface water or soil saturation and oxidized rhizospheres. A table summarizing the soil profiles is included in Exhibit 5: Soil Profile Data and the hydrology data is included in Exhibit 3: Monitoring Well Data. 3.2 Upland Buffer Restoration Areas

3.2.1 Visual Description

The visual observation of both planted and volunteer woody stems and native herbaceous vegetative cover has increased within in these areas. Both native woody and herbaceous vegetation appear to be in good overall health with no signs of disease. The non-native plant species, Chinese lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata), was noted in a few select areas within the upland buffer restoration areas, with the highest density occurring within Cells E and F. Photographs from each of the vegetation plots, taken facing each of the cardinal compass directions (i.e. north, south, east, west), are included in Exhibit 2: Vegetation Plot Photographs.

3.2.2 Vegetation

A table which summarizes the vegetation data and the data collected from each individual vegetation monitoring plot is included in Exhibit 4: Vegetation Data. The location of the vegetation plots within the Site are shown in Exhibit 1: Monitoring Station Map. Photographs from each of the vegetation plots, taken facing each of the cardinal compass directions (i.e. north, south, east, west), are included in Exhibit 2: Vegetation Plot Photographs. The results of the 2017 vegetation monitoring within the upland restoration areas are discussed in detail below. Cell D The results of the 2017 monitoring demonstrate that Cell D is achieving the woody stem density CMP success criteria goal of 400 stems per acre, with an average woody stem density of 1,851


Page 5

stems per acre. The average native herbaceous cover density in the vegetation monitoring plots is 80%, meeting the CMP criteria of 80% cover. Invasive species densities were low with an average density of 2% of Chinese lespedeza, thereby meeting the CMP criteria. Cell E During the 2017 monitoring event, the average woody stem density within Cell E was estimated to be 879 stems per acre. This result indicates that Cell E is currently achieving the CMP success criteria of 400 stems per acre. The average native herbaceous cover density in the vegetation monitoring plots is 80% which meets the CMP criteria of 80% cover. Three plots (TUE-VP-5, TUE-VP-6 and TUE-VP-8) did not meet the 80% herbaceous cover requirement, due to shading caused by increased canopy coverage. Canopy coverage is expected to increase throughout the Site as woody stems mature, which will likely affect the density of herbaceous cover in future monitoring events. Invasive vegetation found within Cell E was Chinese lespedeza averaging 12% cover thereby failing to meet the CMP goal of no more than 5% invasive cover. It is recommended that the Chinese lespedeza coverage be controlled by application of an herbicidal treatment before the Year 10 (2020) growing season. Cell F The results of the 2017 monitoring demonstrate that the average woody stem density within Cell F is 969 stems per acre. Therefore meeting the woody stem density CMP success criteria goal of 400 stems per acre. The average native herbaceous cover density in the vegetation monitoring plots is 81% which achieves the 80% cover requirement stated in the CMP. Two plots (TUF-VP-5 and TUF-VP-6) did not meet the 80% herbaceous cover requirement due to high densities of invasive Chinese lespedeza. The invasive Chinese lespedeza has an average density of 10%, which fails to meet the CMP criteria of no more than 5% invasive cover. However, on an individual plot basis, 5 of the 7 plots (TWF-VP-1, TWF-VP-2, TWF-VP-3, TWF-VP-4, and TWF-VP-7) met the 5% CMP criteria. It is recommended that the Chinese lespedeza coverage be controlled by application of an herbicidal treatment before the Year 10 (2020) growing season. 4.0 SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS Data collected during the Year 7 (2017) monitoring event indicates that the Bank is achieving most of the success criteria outlined in the approved CMP. A summary of our findings and recommendations are discussed below:

The average woody stem density within the forested wetland restoration/creation area

(Cell A) was 1,960 stems per acre, thereby meeting the success criteria goal of 400 stems per acre The average woody stem densities within the upland buffer restoration areas, Cell D (1,851 stems per acre), Cell E (879 stems per acre) and Cell F (969 stems per acre), also achieved the success criteria of 400 stems per acre.

The average percent cover of native, non-invasive herbaceous vegetation within Cell A (90% cover) was the only area within the wetland restoration/enhancement area which achieved the Year 7 success criteria goal of 80% cover. Cells B (57% cover) and Cell C


Page 6

(63% cover) did not achieve the minimum success criteria of 80%. In our professional opinion, the lack of density in these cells is due to the establishment of invasive broadleaf cattail (Typha latifolia) resulting from beaver caused backwater flooding. Removal/control of invasive vegetation followed by the application of a native herbaceous seed mix is recommended to satisfy the CMP requirements as a corrective measure prior to the Year 10 (2020) growing season.

The average percent cover of native, non-invasive herbaceous vegetation within the upland buffer restoration Cells D (80% cover), E (80% cover), and F (81% cover) achieved the minimum requirement of 80% cover as outlined in the approved CMP.

Excluding the lost transducer (TMW-7), the presence of wetland hydrology within all the

wetland restoration/creation cells exceeded the minimum requirements outlined in the approved CMP. It is evident from prior monitoring data taken at TMW-7, and from current well data collected from the nearby monitoring well stations, that hydrology is maintained throughout the Site.

Wetland soils were documented within all the wetland restoration/creation cells, achieving the requirements outlined in the approved CMP.

The presence of wetland vegetation within all the wetland restoration/creation cells

exceeds the minimum requirements outlined in the approved CMP.

The average percent cover of invasive species within 2 of the 6 Cells (Cells A, and D) met the success criteria minimum allowable limit of no greater than 5% cover. Invasive species within Cell B, C, E and F averaged 37%, 37%, 12, and 10% cover, respectively. Backwater flooding from beaver activities downstream have drowned the native emergent vegetation and allowed for the invasion and establishment of broadleaf cattail. As a preventative/maintenance measure, it is recommended that the herbicidal treatments previously conducted to control the cattail population be implemented to meet the goals outlined in the CMP.

Offsite beaver dams have triggered backwater flooding to occur within wetland Cells A, B, and C, resulting in the loss of the previously established native herbaceous vegetation, which is not tolerant to the increased water depth. The drowning of native emergent vegetation increased the amount of bare ground, which provided ideal conditions for the re-establishment of invasive emergent vegetation at high densities. It is recommended that beaver activity be monitored, and any downstream dams removed to prevent future backwater flooding. Herbicidal treatments previously conducted to control the cattail population should again be implemented to meet the goals outlined in the CMP.

Monitoring Well Data

WETLAND RESTORATION MONITORING WELL DATA

Monitoring well data presented graphically in the following data package is

measured based on the head of groundwater above an in situ pressure

transducer within each well casing. As a result, the data is reconciled on the

basis of:

1.3 feet = Ground Surface

0.3 -> 1.3 feet = The zone of surface soil from ground surface to 12 inches below

ground surface. For the purpose of this report, this is the zone

where soil saturation and the presence of free groundwater is

monitored during the growing season to determine the

presence or absence of recognized wetland hydrology.

Supreme Court removes major obstacle to Atlantic Coast Pipeline, a long-delayed project crossing central Virginia

(Ricky Carioti/The Washington Post) By Robert Barnes June 15, 2020 at 10:54 a.m. EDT The Supreme Court on Monday removed a major obstacle to the construction of the Atlantic

Coast Pipeline, a long-delayed and multibillion-dollar project meant to carry natural gas

through some of the most mountainous scenery in central Virginia.

The court ruled that the U.S. Forest Service has authority to grant the pipeline right of way

under the Appalachian Trail in the George Washington National Forest.

The 7-to-2 opinion was written by Justice Clarence Thomas. Justices Sonia Sotomayor and

Elena Kagan dissented.

The Atlantic Coast Pipeline begins in West Virginia and would cross Virginia before completing

its 600-mile path in North Carolina.

It has been delayed as builders contend with a host of setbacks handed down by federal courts.

None is more crucial than the question of whether the pipeline may cross under the

Appalachian Trial.

Judges from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit threw out a Forest Service permit in

December 2018, saying federal law prohibits any agency from approving a pipeline on “lands in

the National Park System.” That includes the trail, the judges said.

The pipeline’s builders, led by Dominion Energy, appealed to the high court, saying the ruling

could create an impenetrable wall along the trail’s course, which runs from Georgia to Maine.

“Simply put, there is no basis in any federal statute to conclude that Congress intended to

convert the Appalachian Trail into a 2,200-mile barrier separating critical natural resources

from the Eastern Seaboard,” the company told the court.

The plaintiffs note that existing pipelines cross the trail at 34 locations.

The Trump administration weighed in on behalf of the project, arguing that even though the

National Park Service administers the trail, the land beneath it is controlled by the Forest

Service.

Environmentalists opposing the construction argued that no pipeline has been granted a right

of way across the trail on federal land since it became part of the park system. Other crossings

are on private or state lands or on easements that predate federal ownership.

Trying to separate the land from the trail is an “elusively metaphysical distinction” that

“contradicts the government’s own long-standing approach to administering the trail,” the

groups told the court in their briefs.

Thomas said that the land the Appalachian Trail crosses still is under control of an agency that

can approve the right of way.

“The lands that the trail crosses are still ‘federal lands’ and the Forest Service may grant a

pipeline right of way through them — just as it granted a right of way for the trail,” Thomas

wrote.

“Sometimes a complicated regulatory scheme may cause us to miss the forest for the trees,” he

wrote. “But at bottom, these cases boil down to a simple proposition: A trail is a trail, and land

is land.”

Sotomayor said the decision was “inconsistent with the language of three statutes, long-

standing agency practice, and common sense.”

The Park Service is in charge of the land the trail traverses, and federal law does not permit

pipelines “across such federally owned lands. Only Congress, not this court, should change that

mandate,” she wrote.

Environmental groups condemned the decision.

“This is not a viable project,” D.J. Gerken, program director of the Southern Environmental

Law Center, said in a statement after the decision was announced.

“It is still missing many required authorizations. . . . It’s time for these developers to move on

and reinvest the billions of dollars planned for this boondoggle into the renewable energy that

Virginia and North Carolina customers want and deserve.”

Kelly Martin, director of the Sierra Club’s Beyond Dirty Fuels Campaign, said: the “decision is

just plugging . . . one hole on a sinking ship. . . . The fracked gas [in the] Atlantic Coast Pipeline

is a dirty, dangerous threat to our health, climate and communities, and nothing about the

ruling changes our intention to fight it.”

But Ann Nallo, a spokeswoman for the pipeline and Dominion Energy, backed the ruling.

“Today’s decision is an affirmation for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline and communities across our

region that are depending on it for jobs, economic growth and clean energy,” she said in a

statement.

“We look forward to resolving the remaining project permits,” she said. “For decades, more

than 50 other pipelines have safely crossed the Trail without disturbing its public use. . . . The

pipeline will be installed hundreds of feet below the surface. . . . There will be no construction

activity on or near the Trail itself.”

West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey (R) also hailed the ruling, saying it “will help

put back to work thousands of men and women.”

The controversial project has drawn national attention from environmentalists, including

former vice president Al Gore. Approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in

2017, the pipeline initially was projected to cost about $5 billion but has ballooned in price

with multiple delays.

Virginia Attorney General Mark R. Herring (D) filed a brief on behalf of the project’s

opponents, arguing that the pipeline threatens “several of Virginia’s most cherished places.”

Earlier this year, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit threw out a state permit for a

compressor station in a historic African American community in Buckingham County, Va.,

saying the builders failed to consider whether the facility needed to move the gas along its way

would unduly harm a minority group.

And the lower-court ruling on the Appalachian Trail crossing had three other elements that are

not part of the appeal to the high court. Those judges also said the permit didn’t comply with

mandatory standards for protecting soil, water and wildlife; that the agency didn’t take a hard-

enough look at landslide and erosion risk; and that the Forest Service rejected alternate routes

without fully analyzing them.

The consolidated cases at the Supreme Court are U.S. Forest Service v. Cowpasture River

Preservation Assn. and Atlantic Coast Pipeline LLC v. Cowpasture River Preservation Assn.
