1.3.1 Compton Creek Mitigation Site

1.3.1.1 Existing Conditions

The Compton Creek Site is located within Block 276 Lot 48. It is a 11.74-acre parcel south of Broadway. Compton Creek runs north/south through the center of the site, with existing tidal marsh dominated by common reed (Phragmites australis) on either side. The terrain ranges from approximately 0.0 ft-

NAVD88 at the existing tributaries to 6.0 ft on the eastern edge of the site.

The site is bounded to the south by Campbell Avenue and a bridge that crosses

Compton Creek. Its western and northern boundaries are within the common reed marsh. The northern portion of the eastern border is bounded by residential lots and the southern portion of the eastern border is bounded largely a for-ested fringe and vacant land. A few small tributaries extend from Compton

Creek into the marsh, Figure 1 shows the locations of the Compton Creek and

Pews Creek sites.

The Compton Creek Site may not be accessed from the west or south, including

Creek Road or Campbell Avenue. Additional access restrictions are presented in Section 01 50 00 TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION FACILITIES AND CONTROLS and the

Haul Route Plan in the 30% Design Drawings.

1.3.1.2 Tidal Channel and Restoration Design and Construction

The restored tidal channel and wetlands shall be constructed to meet the mit-igation goal of restoring the Compton Creek tidal wetland through the crea-tion of new channels, low marsh and high marsh plantings, isolated, elevated scrub-shrub zones, and upland/buffer rehabilitation and re-establishment along the eastern site boundary. The restored wetlands shall be in a healthy, thriving condition free of invasive species, with an increase in the density of native species to be typical of a natural tidal salt marsh, and which pro-vides habitat for a variety of wildlife. The required habitats are shown in

Table 1. This table also presents preliminary elevations that may support these habitats, based on a biobenchmarking report performed by e4sciences, LLC. & AECOM in 2017 (ATTACHMENT D). The DBC is responsible for determining and establishing the exact elevations which would support these habitats.

The mitigation at Compton Creek shall include channels with elevations be-tween 1.0 to 2.0 ft-NAVD88 to generate inlets for saltwater to extend into the restored wetland area. These channels shall be graded to sustain adjacent low marsh habitats. The tidal channels are anticipated to follow a trapezoi-dal channel design, with a bottom width of 10-feet, a top width of 16-feet, and a side-slope horizontal to vertical ratio of three to one. The channel side slopes shall be more gradual than that of the existing Compton Creek main channel to protect restored low marsh areas from erosion, habitat loss, and sediment transport out to the main channel. The restored channels shall be set to elevations greater than the existing Compton Creek main channel bed, allowing for a steady, moderate influent of tidal waters and an effluent during periods of low water, eliminating the risk of ponding or stagnation.

Refer to the biobenchmarking study performed by e4sciences, LLC. & AECOM in

2017 in Attachment D as a guide to determine appropriate elevations for each habitat and species. All plantings shall be supervised by the Project Wetland

Scientist/Ecologist to ensure proper planting timing, handling, and installa-tion. The low marsh habitat shall consist of smooth cordgrass (Spartina al-terniflora) from the top of channel embankments, both restored and existing.

The high marsh habitat shall consist of spike grass (Distichlis spicata), saltmeadow cordgrass (Spartina patens), smooth cordgrass, and black grass

(Juncus gerardii). Smooth cordgrass shall be planted in the high marsh to en-courage a smooth transition from low to high marsh. Plantings in the scrub-shrub habitat shall consist of sea myrtle (Baccharis halimifolia) and high-tide bush (Iva frutescens).

The upland mitigation area shall be divided into two distinct regions, re-ferred to as the upland rehabilitation area and the upland re-establishment area. The upland re-establishment area shall lie within the footprint of the

Township of Middletown Sewerage Authority (TOMSA)sewerage easement. Both re-gions shall be vegetated with a mix of native, warm-season herbaceous species similar to that shown in the 30% Design Drawings. The upland rehabilitation area shall also include shrubs. The shrub species shall be sea myrtle, common elderberry (Sambucus canadensis), northern bayberry (Morella pensylvanica), pasture rose (Rosa carolina), shining sumac (Rhus copallinum), and beach plum

(Prunus maritima). The upland re-establishment area shall only receive native grasses and native herbaceous seed to avoid restricting access for the

TOMSA’s maintenance of the existing sanitary-sewer facilities. Once all earthwork and mitigation area planting activities have been completed, access paths shall be revegetated using native grasses and native herbaceous spe-cies.

PROJECT PHASE II, CONTRACT 1

PEWS CREEK AND COMPTON CREEK MITIGATION SITES

MIDDLETOWN TOWNSHIP, NEW JERSEY

Section 01 10 10 Page 11

Earthwork activities for Compton Creek shall be based on the 30% Design Draw-ings. Preliminary earthwork quantities are provided in Attachment E, and quantities are approximate based on existing Light Detection and Ranging (Li-

DAR)topographic data, biobenchmark elevations, and spot elevations provided by aerial target and ground control data. An accurate topographic and bathy-metric survey must be conducted by the DBC prior to any land disturbance ac-tivities to inform material quantities.

Soil Erosion and Sediment Control (SESC) for Compton Creek shall be con-sistent with the Freehold Soil Conservation District, Middleton Township, Monmouth County, and New Jersey requirements. A turbidity curtain must be in-stalled to act as a settling trap for sediment in Compton Creek throughout the duration of earthwork activities. In addition, a silt fence must be in-stalled to protect downslope surface waters and properties by removing sus-pended solids from runoff prior to exiting the site or entering onsite water-ways. A silt fence shall be constructed in locations surrounding temporary soil stockpiles, downslope along the property boundary edges to the north, and east, along Compton Creek, and elsewhere as appropriate to achieve re-quired erosion and sediment control per the 30% Design Drawings. Maintenance of baseflows and storm flows with erosion, sediment, and turbidity controls must be maintained at all times during the construction and wetlands estab-lishment periods.

Orange-colored construction fence will be utilized as a standard barrier for pedestrian traffic along the southern and western perimeter of the project boundary to reduce the risk of pedestrian traffic in exposed areas and in ar-eas which require sensitivity. Sensitive areas include a thirty-foot buffer centered around three identified TOMSA manholes along the eastern boundary of the Compton Creek Mitigation Site. Temporary inlet filters, per the New Jer-sey SESC Manual, shall be installed at any identified inlets within temporary construction staging or soil stockpile areas. Temporary tree protection dur-ing site construction shall be installed at the discretion of the COR follow-ing the submission of the Tree Survey and Protection Plan.

1.3.2 Pews Creek Mitigation Site

1.3.2.1 Existing Conditions

The Pews Creek site is located within Block 121 Lot 1, a 22.87 acre parcel.

The site is separated from Pews Creek by the Keansburg Levee. This levee has a nominal crest elevation of 15 feet-NAVD88 and is approximately 6,000 feet long. Pews Creek is isolated from Raritan Bay by the Pews Creek Tide Gate lo-cated off Monmouth Road, adjacent to the Pews Creek Site. The site is bounded to the north by Port Monmouth Road, to the east by the Keansburg Levee and to the west and south by residential neighborhoods. Culverts with backflow pre-venters connect the Pews Creek Site to Pews Creek under the levee. The func-tionality of the backflow preventors, inclusive of sluice and flap gates, is

PROJECT PHASE II, CONTRACT 1

PEWS CREEK AND COMPTON CREEK MITIGATION SITES

MIDDLETOWN TOWNSHIP, NEW JERSEY

Section 01 10 10 Page 12 unknown and shall be confirmed by the DBC. Culverts connect stormwater and groundwater fed ditches to Pews Creek, allowing flow to traverse west to east and restricting flow east to west. The Pews Creek tide gate and backflow pre-ventors restrict tidal influence to the site causing the previously tidal wetland to transition to a freshwater wetland.

The site is primarily vegetated by common reed with several patches of wooded areas, existing wooded/forested areas total to approximately 7.11 acres.

Pews Creek cannot be accessed from the Keansburg Levee structure. Access to the Pews Creek site via the Keansburg Levee structure is prohibited in its entirety, inclusive of the levee top and side slopes. Vehicles shall not traverse, idle, park, or achieve site access via the Keansburg Levee. Addi-tional access restrictions are presented in Section 01 50 00 TEMPORARY CON-

STRUCTION FACILITIES AND CONTROLS and the Haul Route Plan in the 30% Design

Drawings.

1.3.2.2 Freshwater Wetland Restoration Design and Construction

The restored freshwater wetlands shall be constructed to provide habitats in-cluding ditch restoration, emergent wetlands, isolated scrub shrub patches, forested wetlands, and a buffer of native grasses adjacent to the Keansburg

Levee. Existing wooded/forested and upland areas within the Pews Creek Site shall remain and a ground-truthing survey shall be completed to identify their current boundaries. Areas above elevation 4.0 feet-NAVD88 are consid-ered upland zones. The restored wetlands shall be in a healthy, thriving con-dition free of invasive species, with a variety of plant species within each wetland type to provide habitat for a variety of wildlife. The required habi-tats and their proposed habitat elevation ranges are shown in Table 2. The

DBC is responsible for determining and establishing the exact elevations which would support these habitats.

Notes:

1 Ditch elevations vary along the project site, accommodating for groundwater ele-vation and salinity.

2 Live stake plantings along ditch embankments vary in elevation, live stakes are proposed to begin at half of the depth of each respective ditch and extend upslope to the top of bank elevation.

3 Transitional zones from the mapped existing wooded areas and forested wetland areas may exceed the proposed elevations set for the forested wetland areas, ranging from 2.0 feet-NAVD to 3.0 feet-NAVD88.

4 Live stake areas were not summed into the total restoration area as all live staking is proposed within the footprint of ditch restoration zones.

The restored wetlands shall include channels to provide shallow freshwater flow through the wetlands, generally from elevation 0.0 to 4.0 feet-NAVD88, connecting to the culverts that flow under the Keansburg Levee. The exact el-evations of the channels shall be adjusted to meet existing grades and avoid undesirable surface water ponding or displacement of stormwater runoff onto adjacent properties. The existing culverts through the Keansburg Levee shall be surveyed prior to the finalization of the mitigation design. This survey shall include an assessment of the presence, condition, and functionality of each drainage structure and associated backflow preventors, inclusive of sluice and flap gates. Survey information shall be used to inform final grades and ensure the final planting selection is appropriate for the exist-ing salinity and inundation conditions.

The Pews Creek Mitigation Site earthwork shall consist of excavation and im-ported material grading activities. Preliminary earthwork quantities for Pews

Creek, based on existing LiDAR topographic data, groundwater monitoring well point elevations, and spot elevations provided by aerial target and ground control data, are shown in Attachment E. Excavate existing soils in Pews

Creek to a depth of 1.5 feet, or to meet existing grades, within the limits of the excavation/earthwork boundary, excluding existing wooded areas and up-land areas. The excavation shall aim to remove the dense network of common reed roots and rhizomes to reduce the likelihood of reestablishment. In areas where proposed grades will be more than 1.5 feet below existing grades, addi-tional excavation will be required to meet proposed surface conditions. Back-fill with clean, imported fill materials to meet proposed grades. Place sand to six inches below final grade, and top with six inches of topsoil. Replace-ment soils shall be free of common reed and other invasive species propagules

(roots, rhizomes, seed, and any other plant part that may become estab-lished). Stabilize the restored ditch/channel slopes using biodegradable wo-ven coir fiber matting held in place by wooden stakes and live stakes of the following species: black willow (Salix nigra), heart-leaved willow (Salix eriocephala), silky willow (Salix sericea), pussywillow (Salix discolor), ha-zel alder (Alnus serrulata), silky dogwood (Cornus amomum), and red-osier dogwood (Cornus sericea). The live stakes shall be installed at 1/2 the depth of the ditch to the top of their embankments. The emergent wetland habitat

PROJECT PHASE II, CONTRACT 1

PEWS CREEK AND COMPTON CREEK MITIGATION SITES

MIDDLETOWN TOWNSHIP, NEW JERSEY

Section 01 10 10 Page 14 shall begin at the top of the ditch embankments and shall consist of a vari-ety of freshwater grasses, sedges, and forbs. Isolated scrub shrub patches shall be constructed in both emergent and forested wetlands to establish a diverse shrub community consisting of deciduous shrubs native to the region, such as sweet pepperbush (Clethra alnifolia), high tide bush, arrowwood (Vi-burnum dentatum), Canadian serviceberry (Amelanchier canadensis), red choke-cherry (Aronia arbutifolia), buttonbush (Cephalantus occidentalis), and northern bayberry. The emergent wetlands shall abut the forested wetlands to the north and south areas of the site. The forested wetland habitat shall consist of a variety of native deciduous tree species such as red maple (Acer rubrum), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), sweetbay magnolia (Magnolia vir-giniana), black gum (Nyssa sylvatica), pin oak (Quercus palustris), willow oak (Quercus phellos), and swamp chestnut oak (Quercus mchauxii). The exist-ing wooded/forested areas shall receive targeted invasive species treatment to uplift the value of a diverse, native forested area.

Use any native trees, logs, branches, and trunks that were removed or felled for site access or restoration activities to create wetland habitat struc-tures. Place and stack these items strategically to create habitat structures that mimic the natural environment in accordance with the 30% Design Drawings and Section 31 32 39 BIOENGINEERING PRACTICES FOR STREAMBANK AND SHORELINE

STABILIZATION.

The southeastern edge of the mitigation area overlaps a required 15-feet veg-etation-free zone that must be maintained adjacent to the Keansburg Levee

(see Chapter 3 and Appendix A of USACE, 2019, May 1. Engineering and Design

Guidelines for Landscape Planting and Vegetation Management at Levees, Flood-walls, Embankment Dams, and Appurtenant Structures. EP 1110-2-18). This zone begins at the levee’s toe of slope is intended uphold the integrity of the levee and reduce the risk of lateral penetration from tree root growth. Vege-tation in this area, consisting of a salt and mow tolerant, native grass mix shall be established. Woody shrubs, trees, and plants shall not be planted in the Keansburg Levee’s vegetation-free zone. Additionally, to maintain the in-tegrity of the levee structure, the limit of earthwork activities shall ex-clude any area within 15-feet of the Keansburg Levee toe of slope. Stake and mark the western edge of the vegetation-free zone prior to beginning con-struction to avoid disturbance, damage, or unacceptable work within this area. The boundary between the vegetation-free zone on the levee and the Pews

Creek wetlands shall be marked with signs indicating that Pews Creek wetland is a no-mow area. The signs shall be on carsonite posts approved by the COR, NJDEP, and USACE.

All freshwater wetland plantings shall be supervised by the Project Wetland

Scientist/Ecologist and applicable project inspector(s) to ensure proper planting timing, handling, and installation. Once all earthwork and mitiga-tion area planting activities have been completed, access paths shall be re-vegetated with a mix of native grasses, sedges, and/or rushes suitable for

Soil Erosion and Sediment Control for Pews Creek shall be consistent with the

Freehold Soil Conservation District, Middleton Township, Monmouth County, and

New Jersey requirements. To minimize soil erosion, biodegradable woven coir matting shall be installed along the existing Pews Creek tributary embank-ments, along the proposed ditch restoration slopes, atop existing soils draining to a waterbody or neighboring property where grades are equivalent to or exceed a horizontal to vertical ratio of three to one, and elsewhere as necessary to achieve sediment and erosion control. The mats shall be staked in place according to the manufacturer’s recommended installation methods, using wooden stakes to provide erosion control during the critical plant es-tablishment phase. Live stakes shall be installed in the ditches as described in Part 1.2.2.2 - Freshwater Wetland Restoration Design and Construction, the

30% Design Drawings, and 30% Design Technical Specifications. A silt fence shall be constructed in locations surrounding the proposed ditch restoration footprints at the top of the embankment slope parallel to contours and along the eastern site boundary.

Orange-colored construction fence shall be installed along the northern site perimeter where the Pews Creek boundary interfaces Port Monmouth Road and along the inner boundary of existing wooded areas to physically identify the bounds of earthwork onsite following the completion of the ground-truthing survey to delineate the present-day existing wooded area limits. Temporary tree protection during site construction shall be installed at the discretion of the COR following the submission of the Tree Survey and Protection Plan.

1.4 TREE SURVEY, ASSESSMENT, AND REMOVAL

The DBC shall conduct a tree survey and protection plan for the construction access routes and staging areas for Compton Creek and Pews Creek Mitigation

Sites, within their respective limits of disturbance, conducted by an Inter-national Society of Arboriculture (ISA) certified arborist. The tree survey shall be completed in parallel scheduling with the pre-construction survey.

The Tree Survey Report shall be prepared which provides an inventory of ex-isting on-site trees and informs a tree restitution plan should tree removal be required. The tree survey shall contain tree identification numbers, loca-tion coordinates, native/invasive status, species of the tree, DBH in inches, tree height, crown height, crown radius, size class, age classification, and a health assessment based on root system, trunk, scaffold, branch, twig, bud, and leaf condition. The tree survey shall produce a GPS-survey in a format accessible to the COR. Invasive tree species, such as tree-of-heaven (Ailan-thus altissima), must be brought to the attention of the DOR and shall be ad-dressed specifically in the invasive species management plan.

PROJECT PHASE II, CONTRACT 1

PEWS CREEK AND COMPTON CREEK MITIGATION SITES

MIDDLETOWN TOWNSHIP, NEW JERSEY

Section 01 10 10 Page 16

Tree removal may be required to establish a clear construction access en-trance and to remove trees rated poor by the tree survey. Following the tree survey, the DBC shall prepare a Tree Protection, Pruning, Removal, and Resti-tution Plan to be approved by the COR and DOR. All tree removal activities shall be per said plan and shall not occur between March 15 to July 31 in ac-cordance with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) set forth by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

If staging areas identified by the construction contractor require tree re-moval in areas not covered by the Tree Survey, trees greater than six inches

DBH shall be identified by size, type, and health status by an ISA certified arborist and New Jersey licensed surveyor and replaced at a one-to-one ratio with native species, subject to COR approval.

Any removal of tree-of-heaven or other invasive tree species of any size shall follow the invasive species management plan and be completely killed prior to any cutting. In any areas where only tree pruning is required, tree-of-heaven must be killed and removed and not pruned.

1.5 INVASIVE SPECIES CONTROL

The DBC shall develop an Invasive Species Management Plan and Herbicide Ap-plication Plan, for review and approval by the COR, that shall be followed to accomplish invasive species control. The Herbicide Application Plan must in-clude coordination with the overall construction sequence and environmental timing restrictions as well as comply with existing Federal Consistency and

Water Quality Certification Permits (File No. 1331-14-0001.4 CDT 160001). The

Invasive Species Management Plan and Herbicide Application Plan shall be in accordance with Section 30 00 00 SITE CLEARING. Invasive species are expected to include, but are not limited to tree-of-heaven, reed canary grass (Phala-ris arudinacea), common reed, broad-leaved cattail (Typha latifolia), Typha angustifolia (narrow-leaved cattail), purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria), Japanese barberry (Berberis thunbergii), common barberry (Berberis vulgaris), Russian olive (Eleagnus angustifolia), autumn olive (Eleagnus umbellata), All privet (Ligustrum) species, including Japanese privet (Ligustrum obtusifo-lium), common privet (Ligustum vulgare), and Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), mulitiflora rose (Rosa multiflora), mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris), Japanese knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum), porcelain berry (Ampelopsis brevi-pedunculata), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), mile-a-minute vine

(Persicaria perfoliata), Asiatic bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculata), black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia), and white mulberry (Morus alba), as well as any others listed in the NJDEP Policy Directive 2004-02 plants appendix

(https://dep.nj.gov/wp-content/uploads/invasive-species/dep-directive-2004-

02.pdf). The plan shall include descriptions and requirements for full re-moval of vegetation, seeds/pods, and roots/rhizomes as necessary.

PEWS CREEK AND COMPTON CREEK MITIGATION SITES

MIDDLETOWN TOWNSHIP, NEW JERSEY

Section 01 10 10 Page 17

Prior to construction, control invasive species in any areas of either miti-gation site where existing vegetation will remain, such as the existing for-ested wetlands in Pews Creek. Follow the approved Invasive Species Management

Plan and the approved Herbicide Application Plan to control invasive species.

Remaining existing wooded areas within the mitigation sites shall be managed for invasive species according to the approved Invasive Species Management

Plan following an integrated pest management (IPM) strategy developed by the

DBC and approved by the COR.

Tree-of-heaven, Japanese knotweed, and other tenacious species shall be spe-cifically addressed in the Invasive Species Management Plan and Herbicide Ap-plication Plan. Management of these species must include completely killing all individuals using a systemic herbicide prior to any removal, cutting, or pruning. Herbicide for Japanese knotweed must be applied in the late summer or early fall, after the plants bloom but at least 2 weeks before first frost. No disturbance (e.g. grading, cutting, covering/smothering, crushing, or root disturbance) may be performed before tree-of-heaven and Japanese knotweed plants are completely killed and removed offsite.

1.6 HERBIVORY PREVENTION

During plant establishment, all areas within the Compton Creek low marsh and high marsh habitats and Pews Creek emergent wetlands and scrub-shrub areas require protection from herbivores including deer, small rodents, and water-fowl. Herbivory fencing shall be installed prior to planting activities. The fencing must minimize the deposition of wrack and other debris within the planting areas. Herbivory fencing shall remain in place for the duration of the warranty period as specified in Section 32 05 33 LANDSCAPE ESTABLISHMENT.

After a the completion of the warranty period, herbivory fencing must be re-moved during winter months, while the marsh is dormant, to minimize disturb-ance. The DBC must repair and/or replace plants damaged by herbivory as well as any secondary damage that may occur, such as erosion due to failure of plantings. Herbivory fencing shall be maintained through the duration of the warranty period. The conditions of the plant warranty are detailed in Section

32 05 33 Landscape Establishment and Section 32 93 00 Exterior Plants.

1.7 MAINTENANCE AND MONITORING

The DBC shall perform maintenance and monitoring that includes, at a minimum, all maintenance and monitoring activities in the 30% Design Technical Speci-fications.

The Maintenance and Monitoring period shall extend for a minimum of two years

(including two full growing seasons) following completion of construction.

The DBC shall inspect and monitor vegetation and replace, irrigate, and /or

MIDDLETOWN TOWNSHIP, NEW JERSEY

Section 01 10 10 Page 18 protect against herbivores as needed to meet specifications for vegetation types, extents, hydrology, and survivability. Native hydrophytic herbaceous species shall show dense, vigorous growth and provide uniform cover. A uni-form stand shall be defined as having a minimum of 85% coverage of specified native species for the duration of the warranty period. Final acceptance shall be contingent on an 85% survivability rate in which 75% of each indi-vidual plant or tree species shows healthy conditions with no signs of decay, damage, or disease, less than 10% invasive species cover, and maintenance of the hydrologic regime specified in the plans and specifications. Replaced plants shall receive an extra year of maintenance and monitoring. The DBC shall prepare monitoring reports in accordance with the most recent version of the NJDEP DLUR Mitigation Project Monitoring Reports for Coastal Wetlands

(available at https://dep.nj.gov/wlm/forms/#mit).

1.8 ADAPTABILITY TO FUTURE CONDITIONS

The project shall be designed and constructed so that the restored areas can adapt to future conditions, including changes in tide levels, wave forces, storms surges, groundwater elevation, salinity, rainfall patterns (both fre-quency and intensity), temperature, and land subsidence. The tidal marsh shall be designed so sediments can accrete over time to maintain a balance with future tide elevations to maintain the overall acreage of marsh. The low marsh, high marsh, and scrub-shrub boundaries at Compton Creek shall be de-signed in response to anticipated changes in natural processes so that they may adjust laterally to maintain their total acreages.

The DBC shall develop a proposed condition water budget for the Pews Creek mitigation site, for review and approval by the COR. The proposed condition water budget shall take into account potential changes in rainfall patterns, temperature, groundwater conditions and changes, stormwater runoff, and other factors that influence the availability of water both quantitatively and tem-porally.

Potential Sea Level Rise Analysis information is provided in Attachment F for the DBC and DOR for design and construction considerations.
