AMENDMENT <br />Coddle Creek Reservoir <br />December 15, 1993 <br />Page 4 <br /> <br />1.6.3.1.3. <br /> <br />1.6.3.1.4. <br /> <br />that percent survivorship of installed species has dropped <br />below 80%, the report for that event may recommend that <br />NCSU replant as necessary to accomplish an 80% <br />survivorship level. If it is noted on any monitoring event <br />during years 5-7 that percent cover of non-nuisance wetland <br />vegetation has fallen below 80% area coverage, the report <br />for that event may recommend a remediation plan to meet <br />permit conditions. <br /> <br />Preservation Areas. As partial mitigation for wetland <br />impacts, Cabarrus County will preserve over 160 acres of <br />moderate to high quality forested uplands and wetlands in <br />the reservoir buffer. These areas will be monitored to <br />assess the natural process of succession and wildlife <br />utilization. <br /> <br />Methodology - Associated with monitoring of the various <br />habitat creation areas, transects will be established across <br />specific areas to be preserved. For areas requiring more <br />than one transect, these will be spaced approximately 100 <br />meters apart and will span the width of the preserve area. <br />Parameters recorded will include species of trees, number <br />of individuals of each species, and the diameter at breast <br />height (dbh) of each tree within 5 meters of each side of <br />the transect. Other vegetative cover, including shrubs and <br />herbs, along with the distribution and approximate percent <br />cover of each, will be qualitatively assessed within the <br />transect corridor. <br /> <br />Wildlife observations will be made while the vegetation <br />monitoring is being done. A written record will be made <br />of mammal, bird, reptile and amphibian species which are <br />observed or for which calls, scat or tracks are confirmed. <br /> <br />Fish Monitoring. Changes in populations of mosquito- <br />eating fishes such as Gambusia affinis holbrooki, Fundulux <br />spp. and Notropis spp., will be monitored to evaluate the <br />success of biological pest control in this system. This <br />information will be included in Event Reports and Annual <br />Reports for each year, and copies of these monitoring <br /> <br /> <br />
