                  WETLAND RESTORATION SITE EVALUATION WORKSHEET

SITE IDENTIFICATION NO:           PGWRo-11
SITE INFORMATION:
State Plane Centroid [NAD 83 (m)]   Northing      63808.38    Easting   711132.51
Watershed: Lower Cape Fear Subwatershed:     Prince George    USGS Hydrologic Unit 03030007140010
Date of Review:     15 Aug 01                Investigated By:       B. Humber, K. Mryncza

Site Description:
Agriculture field-corn field

.


Justification for Acceptance:
This site has a current land use of agriculture and the soil survey has identified hydric soils on site. The site
also has one of the higher ranks streams running through.


Type/Acreage of Restoration:
Restoration    124      Enhancement                          Creation                  Preservation

Restoration Concept Narrative:
Discontinue agricultural production at the site. Fill drainage ditches and eliminate other existing drainage
features to restrict flow off site and increase surface storage capability of the site. Rip land and create
microtopography on the site. Plant with bottomland hardwood species.
