MY3, MY4 andMY5 Monitoring Report — Final, January 2014

1 Executive Summary
This report summarizes the 2010 monitoring year 3 (MY3), 2011 MY4, and 2012 MY5
condition of the Peak Creek mitigation project on 2,719 linear feet (If) of Peak Creek, located in
the New River drainage, Ashe County, North Carolina. Existing condition and as -built data
comparisons are presented where possible.
The enhancement project's original goal was to improve aquatic habitat, riparian area
vegetation, and stream channel stability in order for the North Carolina Department of
Transportation (NCDOT) to meet its off -site stream mitigation requirements for the U.S. 421
(Transportation Improvement Project number [TIP] R -0529) road improvement project in
Watauga County. This was accomplished by installing root wads, rock cross vanes, and rock
vanes to increase fish habitat diversity, stabilizing, resloping, and revegetating eroding stream
banks to make the banks more resistant to erosion and flooding, eradicating invasive exotic plant
species, and implementing a farm management plan to reduce stream impacts from livestock
(NCWRC 2009). Project construction was completed in October 2007.
The stream visual assessments suggested the stream channel and banks were stable for the
first three monitoring years, with some minor adjustments. Beaver activity and multiple greater
than bankfull storm events during the winter of 2010 -2011 caused site specific channel
adjustments. Two high priority stream problem areas were identified in MY4, a beaver dam at
station 6 +22 and an eroding stream bank at a meander bend at station 11 +20. The eroding
meander bend and a beaver dam at station 18 +11 were identified during the MY5 survey. Low
priority problem areas were stabilized using live stakes and beaver dams were removed after
each morphological survey. At MY5 the majority of features scored above 93% on qualitative
visual stability assessment; riffle stability scored the lowest at 78 %.
The enhancement work changed the profile of the stream channel through the addition of log and
rock structures with their associated pools and the relocation of approximately 1001f of stream
channel. As expected, the stream channel adjusted slightly since the as -built survey. Most
adjustments were site specific and occurred in MY4 and MY5. The seven permanent stream
channel cross - sections, four riffles and three pools, indicated the site was relatively stable.
Bankfull bunches developed in 4 cross - sections. Only one, cross - section 2 was permanently
impacted by an upstream beaver dam in MY4, but remained stable in MY5. Cross - section
substrate particle size has fluctuated slightly since construction, the bed material generally has
remained in the gravel and cobble categories. Over the monitoring period, there has been an
increase in fine particle sized substrate in the pools due to upstream sources of sediment and
sediment accumulating behind beaver dams.
Planted vegetation performance, when live stakes are included, exceeded the USACE
requirement for 260 stems per acre through the fifth year of monitoring in all three vegetation
monitoring plots (USACE 2003). With the addition of natural stem contributions, the vegetation
plots had an average stem density of 3,858 stems per acre in MY5. Invasive exotic vegetation
still persists throughout the project site. Five years of herbicide treatment has significantly
reduced the quantity, size and seed bank of the plants.

EEP Project Number: 92606
MY3, MY4 andMY5 Monitoring Report — Final, January 2014

The visual assessment, geomorphic, and vegetative surveys indicate some minor stream
channel adjustments have occurred since construction. With only small isolated areas of channel
bed material aggradation and channel bank instability observed, the Peak Creek mitigation site is
meeting all morphometric and riparian vegetation success criteria for the five years of
monitoring. We recommend that 1) this site be considered stabilized and released from further
monitoring and 2) a long -term multiflora rose control plan should be implemented to prevent the
species from displacing native plants within the easement area before they have matured.

2 Project Goals, Background, and Attributes
This monitoring report describes the project's background and summarizes stream channel
and vegetation monitoring for monitoring year (MY) 3, MY4 and MY5 completed during 2010,
2011 and 2012 on 2,719 linear feet (If) of Peak Creek and compares it with the as -built
conditions to the extent possible.
2.1 Location and Setting
Peak Creek is a tributary to the South Fork New River in the New River drainage in Ashe
County, North Carolina. Peak Creek (Appendix A Figure A.1.) is located in the Blue Ridge
Province of the Appalachian Mountains. The watershed upstream of the project site has an area
of approximately 4.4 square miles. The project is 4.1 miles southwest of Laurel Springs, 12.2
miles southeast of Jefferson, and 30.8 miles northwest of Wilkesboro.
Land uses within the watershed consist mostly of rural farms containing pastures and
forested wood lots. The less steep valley floors are used to raise crops and graze livestock.
While a significant portion of the watershed remains in second growth forest, some Christmas
tree farms have been developed.
2.2 Project Goals and Objectives
The project's original goal was to improve aquatic habitat and riparian area vegetation and to
reestablish channel stability in order for the NCDOT to meet its off -site stream mitigation
requirements for the US 421 (TIP number R -0529) road improvement project in Watauga
County. This will be discussed further in the Section 2.4. Project History, Contracts, and
Attribute Data.
The objectives of the Bowlin -Peak Creek enhancement project were as follows (Mickey and
Scott 2002):
1. Increase fish habitat diversity by installing root wads, rock cross vanes, and rock vanes.
2. Stabilize, slope and vegetate eroding stream banks to make the banks more resistant to
erosion and flooding.
3. Eradicate invasive exotic species such as multiflora rose Rosa multiflora.
4. Construct a stable stream crossing at the existing ford location.
5. Exclude livestock from the riparian zone by installing exclusionary fencing and providing
an alternate drinking water source.
6. Plant native trees, shrubs, and ground cover on all disturbed banks and along the channel
to provide long -term bank stability, stream shading, and cover and food for wildlife.
7. Provide long -term protection of the stream and riparian corridor by the purchase of a
permanent conservation easement.

2.3 Project Structure, Restoration Type, and Approach
2.3.1 Project Structure
The project area consists of two separate reaches, reach 1 (station 1 +34 to 18 +50) is
protected by a conservation easement on both sides of the creek, whereas reach 2 (stations 0 +00
to 1 +34 and 18 +50 to 27 +90) has a conservation easement on only one side of the creek.
(Appendix A Figure A.2. and Table A.1.). In reach 2 the conservation easement line is located
along the center line of the stream and only protects the left stream bank. There were no
differences in geomorphology, hydrology, or soils of the two reaches; therefore, the same type of
approach (enhancement I) was used throughout the project. The two reaches are distinguished
only for purposes of determining mitigation credits; reach 2 was not included as an expected
asset. For the remainder of this document, the two reaches will be considered as one.
2.3.2 Restoration Type and Approach
Historic dredging of the stream channel, gravel mining, and poor riparian zone management
on the Bowlin -Peak Creek site resulted in stream bank instability at numerous locations, adverse
water quality impacts through increased sedimentation, and degraded aquatic habitat (Mickey
and Scott 2002). The narrow riparian zone, <15 feet on each bank, was fairly intact along
sections of the stream and consisted primarily of tag alder Alnus serrulata, multiflora rose, silky
dogwood Cornus amomum, red maple Acer rubrum, and black cherry Prunus serotina. Most of
the vegetated stream banks were stable, except in areas where multiflora rose predominated.
The desire to protect existing vegetation and the narrow width of the conservation easement
limited the stream improvement options to enhancement I (Appendix A Table A.1.). The
average width of the conservation easement from one side of the easement to the other is
approximately 66 ft, ranging from 50 ft to 85 ft. The enhancement plan included reshaping
eroding stream banks while leaving as much of the existing native vegetation intact; installation
of in- stream structures to improve bank stability and aquatic habitat; physical removal and
herbicide treatment of multiflora rose; re- vegetating the banks with native plant species; and
construction of fencing for livestock exclusion and installation of an alternative watering source.
Peak Creek's degraded C4 stream type (Rosgen 1996) was enhanced to more stable C4, E4, and
F4 stream types (NCWRC 2009).

EEP Project Number: 92606
MY3, MY4 andMY5 Monitoring Report — Final, January 2014

It should be noted that this site was identified and established under older mitigation
permitting guidance and that the narrower conservation easement width and portions of the
stream being protected on only one side of the stream bank were acceptable at the time.
The NCDOT had contracted with the NCWRC to provide off -site stream mitigation for
impacts from the relocation of US 421 (TIP number R -0529) from the South Fork New River in
Boone to the Blue Ridge Parkway in Deep Gap. For that project, a total of 14,814 linear feet of
stream mitigation were required by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
Section 404 permit and 7,407 linear feet of mitigation were required by the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality ( NCDWQ) Section 401 water quality certification. Subsequent
mitigation sites were originally permitted under the US 421 project and not via individual
permits. The USACE Section 404 permit (Action ID No. 19970761) was issued on 4 May 1998
and the NCDWQ Section 401 permit (Project number 970616) was issued on 20 April 1998.
The Peak Creek site on the Bowlin property was presented to the US 421 mitigation review
team as a potential mitigation site in 2000; in 2002 the landowners agreed to the proposed
conservation easement boundary. The pre - construction notification and the Peak Creek site
mitigation plan were submitted to the USACE and NCDWQ in May 2003. The plan was
approved by NCDWQ (Certification number 030599) on 29 May 2003 ( NCWRC 2009). No
comments were received from the USACE; therefore it was assumed that the project was
approved under the general permit conditions. Acquisition of the conservation easement was
delayed due to problems obtaining valid appraisals. The NCDWQ permit was reissued on 15
August 2006 (Appendix E). In attempting to renew the USACE permit, it was determined that
the original permit had expired, negating the NCDWQ August 2006 permit and requiring new
permits to be obtained. A conservation easement on the property was purchased in the fall of
2006. In 2006, responsibility for this site was transferred from NCDOT to the EEP. Under a
new memorandum of agreement and interagency contract, EEP tasked the NCWRC to complete
this project. New Section 404 (Action ID No. 200702632; 11 Aug 2007) and Section 401
(Project number 030599; 20 Aug 2007) permits were obtained.
2.5 Monitoring Plan Views
The monitoring plan view is located in Appendix A Figure A.3.
3 Methods
3.1 Stream Morphology
Four representative riffle and three representative pool cross - sections were measured, the
longitudinal profile surveyed, and stream stability was visually assessed on 12 -13 April 2010 for
MY3, on 19 April 2011 and 26 May 2011 for MY4, and on 9 -10 April 2012 for MY5. Cross -
section and reach -wide pebble count data were collected on 28 June 2010 for MY3, on 19 April
2011 and 26 May 2011 for MY4, and on 21 May 2012 for MY5. The measured and surveyed
data were taken using standard stream survey techniques (Harrelson et al. 1994, EEP 2006). A
Nikon DTM 821 total station was used to survey the stream's pattern, profile, and cross - sectional
dimensions. Mountain and piedmont regional hydraulic geometry curve data were used to
Bowlin -Peak Creek 5
EEP Project Number: 92606
MY3, MY4 andMY5 Monitoring Report — Final, January 2014

evaluate bankfull elevation conditions in the field (Harman et al. 1999). Cross - section data were
used to classify the stream based on existing morphological features of the stream channel and
valley type (Rosgen 1994, 1996). Site conditions were analyzed using RIVERMorph stream
assessment and restoration software, Version 4.3 (RSARS 2008) and AutoCAD Version
2004.0.0. Detailed methods and deviations in standard methods are detailed in individual
sections below.
3.2 Hydrology
A crest gage was installed during construction to monitor on -site occurrence of bankfull
events (NCWRC 2009). The crest gage bankfull water elevation is approximately 2.8 ft above
the channel bed. The crest gage was checked every time the site was visited and bankfull or near
bankfull events were recorded. Wrack lines and deposition areas were photographed to augment
gage readings. Additionally, the United States Geological Survey's (USGS) South Fork New
River flow gage data (gage number 03161000 located near Jefferson, North Carolina) was
reviewed to corroborate the occurrence of bankf ill events at the Peak Creek site. Bankfull
discharge at the South Fork New River flow gage was estimated by using the established gage
height vs. discharge relationship calculated from historic gage data and relating the bankfull
elevation in the field to the gage height. Bankfull discharge was estimated at 3,220 cubic feet
per second at the South Fork New River gage station (Mickey and Scott 2002).
3.3 Vegetation
Vegetation surveys were completed on 28 June 2010 for MY3, on 15 June 2011 for MY4,
and on 14 June 2012 for MY5 and followed the EEP and the Carolina Vegetation Survey level 2
protocol (Lee et al. 2006). Monitoring followed standard regulatory guidance, procedures, and
success criteria (USACE 2003).
4 Project Conditions and Monitoring Results
4.1 Morphological Stream Assessment
4.1.1 Bank Stability Assessment
Bank erosion hazard index and near bank sheer stress are used to estimate sediment export
from stream bank erosion (Rosgen 2006). They were not assessed for pre - construction
conditions and, therefore, not required to determine the success of the project. However, a visual
stability assessment cataloging bank erosion was carried out in lieu of the BEHI and reported for
all 5 years (see Section 4.1.4 Stability Assessment).
4.1.2 Stream Problem Areas
The stream problem areas plan view, stream problem areas summary table, and photographs
are located in Appendix A Figure A.3, Appendix B Table B.1.1, and Appendix B Section 1,
respectively.
Bowlin -Peak Creek 6
EEP Project Number: 92606
MY3, MY4 andMY5 Monitoring Report — Final, January 2014

One stream problem area was identified in MY3 and seven stream problem areas were
identified in MY4. The MY3 stream problem area at station 7 +15 was also identified as a
medium priority area in MY4 and MY5 (Appendix B Section 1: photo SPA MY3 &4 -3). The site
was also identified as an area of concern during the MY1 and MY2 surveys. It consists of 301f
of eroding left stream bank from station 7 +15 to station 7 +45 that has migrated 7 feet to the left
since the MYO survey. Because this area has not stabilized in the last 5 years, we reshaped
approximately 15 if of bank by hand and installed live stakes using on site material on 29 April
2012 (Appendix B Section 1: photo SPA MY5 -2).
Two high priority stream problem areas were identified in MY4. On 3 Feb 2011, a beaver
dam was identified at station 6 +22 (Appendix B Section 1: photo SPA MY4 -1). The dam caused
sediment to fill in the pool behind the dam and backed water up to station 4 +18. The dam was
removed on 19 April 2011. The second high priority problem area in MY4 and subsequently
identified in MY5, consisted of 301f of a left eroding stream bank at the meander bend at station
11 +20 (Appendix B Section 1: photo SPA MY44). This was caused by at least one greater than
bankfull storm event during the winter of 2010 -2011. In addition to the bank erosion, the storm
event caused the elevation of the head of the riffle at station 11 +44 to increase 0.7 ft, submerging
the log vane at station 11 +11. The log vane no longer functions properly.
One additional medium priority problem area was identified in MY4 and subsequently in
MY5. The log cross vane at station 6 +47 located downstream of the beaver dam (Appendix B
Section 1: photo SPA MY4 -2) was damaged after a winter 2010 storm event. It is suspected that
water falling over the dam had greater stream power, moved larger substrate in the stream
channel, deepened the stream channel below the log cross vane and resulted in water piping
under the right vane arm. The right stream bank only migrated 0.5ft since MY3 and appears
stable.
Three low priority problem areas were identified in MY4 (Appendix B Section 1: photos
SPA MY4 -5, SPA MY4 -6 and SPA MY4 -7). Live stakes were planted at these sites on 19 April
2011 to help stabilize the banks. Many of the live stakes did not survive the late planting date
and beaver ate the plants at station 17 +30. All three sites were identified as low priority in MY5.
On 9 April 2012, a beaver dam was identified at station 18 +11. The dam caused sediment to
fill in the pool behind the dam and backed water up to station 16 +75. The dam was removed on
29 May 2012 and the fine sediment appeared to be flushing out of the pool.
The log cross -vane at site SPA MY4 -2 and the eroding left stream bank at site SPA MY3 &4 -
3 have yet to stabilize. However, these issue areas represent approximately 1% of the total bank
footage and the impact associated with repairs involving heavy equipment is not warranted.

MY3, MY4 andMY5 Monitoring Report — Final, January 2014

4.1.4 Stability Assessment
A visual stability assessment was performed during all monitoring year surveys (Appendix B
Table B.3.2). The as -built categorical features were determined from the as -built report and plan
view drawing and assumed to be stable immediately following construction (NCWRC 2009). As
such, channel features, including meanders, stream bed, stream banks, and in- stream structures
were examined for stability and enumerated during monitoring surveys (Appendix B Table B.3.1
and Table B.3.2). Based on the morphological data and the visual stability assessment, all
stream feature categories were found to be over 92% stable for MY1, MY2 and MY3. The
stream feature categories for riffles, pool and thalweg declined to 83 %, 88% and 80% in MY4
and 78 %, 80% and 80% in MY5. This decline is attributed to the addition of beaver dams filling
pools and backing water over riffles and changes in channel morphology from frequent bankfull
or greater storm events. As the stream channel adjusted, the number of riffles and pools declined
from 30 and 29 in the as -built condition to 25 and 25 in MY5, with most of the changes
occurring in MY4 and MY5 as a result of beaver activity. In addition, four of the existing riffles
at the upstream portion of the project became embedded with fine sediment. Other riffles did not
have stable substrate or the facet slope was too steep, especially in areas around the beaver dams.
Sediment from the breached beaver dam in MY4 and from upstream sources appeared to settle in
at least 6 pools in MY5; reducing the pool's depth and some cases length. This downward trend
in habitat quality metrics should stabilize and will hopefully improve as sediment from the
beaver dams move through the project site.
Overall the site is relatively stable. Most of the stream banks, bed and rock and woody
structures are preforming as expected. Ninety -eight percent of the stream banks were identified
as stable in MY5. Streams are dynamic systems and some level of adjustment is expected. The
majority of the changes in the substrate and bedform habitat quality metrics are considered
localized and tied to transient factors such as beaver impoundment and upstream inputs.
4.1.5 Quantitative Measures Summary
Morphological data is summarized in the following:
• Appendix B Table B.4.1 summarizes the pre - construction, reference reach, design,
as- built, and monitoring quantitative morphological data collected from the cross -
section surveys, longitudinal profile surveys, and pebble counts for Peak Creek.
• Appendix B Table B.4.2 summarizes the as -built and monitoring quantitative
morphological data collected for each cross - section.
• Annual cross - section plots are located in Appendix B Section B.S.
• Annual longitudinal profile plots are located in Appendix B Section B.6.
• Annual pebble count cumulative frequency distribution plots are located in Appendix
B section B.7.
These data will be compared with previous survey data and will be used to illustrate the
degree of departure of the stream channel and substrate characteristics, if any, from the desired
condition.
Bowlin -Peak Creek
EEP Project Number: 92606
MY3, MY4 andMY5 Monitoring Report — Final, January 2014

4.1.5.1 Profile
The enhancement work changed the profile of the stream channel through the addition of log
and rock structures with their associated pools and the relocation of approximately 1001f of
stream channel. Monitoring year data were compared with as -built conditions.
The entire project's stream channel profile was surveyed in every monitoring year. Feature
lengths, slopes, depths, and spacing were calculated following each monitoring survey
(Appendix B Table B.4.1). Channel slope has remained unchanged over the course of
monitoring at 0.0093 ft /ft. Riffle lengths remained relatively stable from the as -built survey to
MY3 and ranged from 1.8 ft to 128.0 ft in the three monitoring years with means of 34.0 in
MY1, 33.0 in MY2 and 35.1 in MY3. They varied little from the as -built survey, with a range of
6.4 ft to 123.6 ft and a mean of 30.8 ft. In MY4 the mean riffle length decreased to 28.9 ft, with
a range of 8.1 ft to 75.1 ft. This decrease is partly associated with the shallow pool at station
13 +46 dividing a long riffle. The mean riffle length increased in MY5 to 39.0 ft partly as a result
of the pool at station 13 +46 filled in and became associated with the riffle.
Mean riffle slope decreased from the as -built survey, 0.021 to 0.017 in MY1, remained at
0.0017 in MY2 and decreased slightly to 0.0015 in MY3. The riffles slopes are not outside of
the norms and may have been readjusting to something closer to its pre - construction condition.
However, mean riffle slopes increased to 0.020 in MY4 and 0.024 in MY5. The beaver dams
were included in riffle slopes and may have caused the increase in mean slope.
The annual longitudinal profile overlays (Appendix B.6) suggest the stream channel adjusted
slightly between the as -built survey and MY1 (NCWRC 2011). The stream channel appeared
stable from MY1 to MY3. The longitudinal profile adjusted again in MY4 and MY5 due to the
presence of beaver dams and the increased frequency and magnitude of bankfull or greater storm
events. Most of the adjustments were site specific and did not affect the stream's overall
longitudinal profile or pattern. Logging upstream of the project site may be responsible for some
of the channel aggradation.
A beaver dam at station 6 +22 was identified during the MY4. The stream channel elevation
increased 1.7 ft at the beaver dam in MY4. The stream channel aggraded in the pool behind the
beaver dam and at a pool located at station 3 +02. In addition, the stream channel thalweg
elevation decreased approximately 1.9 ft in MY4, a decrease of approximately 2.3 ft from the as-
built condition in the pool downstream of the beaver dam at station 6 +44. The deepening pool in
itself is not a concern; however, the additional bank scouring may have contributed to the
instability of the log cross -vane at the head of the pool (SPA MY4 -2) by undermining the footer
on the right bank. After the beaver dam was breached, the MY5 survey indicated the stream
channel elevation at the beaver dam decreased 1.5 ft. However, the stream channel elevation for
the pool at station 3 +02 did not change. The stream channel at station 3 +02, a pool aggraded in
MY4 and remained shallow in MY5. The thalweg elevation increased approximately 0.4 ft in
MY5 in the pool below the beaver dam.
The pool at station 9 +44 filled in with sediment in MY4 and became part of the riffle. This
section of stream did not change in MY5.

MY3, MY4 andMY5 Monitoring Report - Final, January 2014

In MY4, approximately 30 if of the stream channel migrated to the right starting at station
11 +20. This was caused by at least one greater than bankfull storm event during the winter of
2010 -2011. In addition to the bank erosion, the storm event caused the elevation of the head of
the riffle at station 11 +44 to increase 0.7 ft, submerging the log vane at station 11 +11. The
pool's thalweg elevation at station 11 +20 increased by approximately 0.7 ft and a new pool was
created downstream at station 11 +52. The log vane was still submerged in MY5; however, the
pool's thalweg elevation at station 11 +20 decreased 0.5 ft, almost back to the MY3 elevation.
The new pool at station 11 +52 was still present in MY5 and appeared stable.
The thalweg elevation for the pool at station 12 +18 increased 1.0 ft in MY4, while the pool at
station 13 +46 filled in completely and became part of a long riffle. Both pools remained at their
new elevation in MY5.
A beaver dam was identified at station 18 +14 in MY5. The stream channel elevation
increased 0.7 ft at the beaver dam and caused sediment to fill in the pool behind the dam. The
beaver dam backed water up to station 16 +75 submerging a pool and riffle. The dam was
removed after the MY5 morphological survey.
4.1.5.2 Dimension
Seven cross - sections were surveyed in 2012 and compared with previous cross - section
measurements (Appendix B, Table B.4.1, Table B.4.2 and Appendix B Section B.5; NCWRC
2011). The current / developing bankfull feature for cross - sections 4 and 6 were used to
calculate dimension morphological data instead of the fixed bankfull pin elevation. The current /
developing bankfull features appeared to represent a more accurate bankfull elevation and were
stable. This resulted in a minor increase in variation because these measurements were not taken
from a fixed location. Cross - sectional dimensions in all cross - sections showed some adjustments
in thalweg depths and minor lateral movement of the channel when compared with previous
years' monitoring survey data. Some of the cross - sections exhibit some buildup of the stream
banks due to deposition of soil materials during bankfull or greater than bankfull storm events.
The stream channel and stream banks were relatively stable for most cross - sections throughout
the five years of monitoring. However, the dimension morphology in cross - section 2 changed
significantly in MY4 due to impacts from an upstream beaver dam.
Specific details of the individual cross - sections are listed below and in Appendix B.5 Annual
Cross - section Overlay:
• Cross - section 1 transects a riffle. The cross - section dimension was relatively stable
between MYO and MY3, with approximately 0.3 ft of sediment deposited on the left
stream bank. The stream channel thalweg elevation increased 0.3 ft in MY4 and
moved to the right. An additional 0.5 ft of sediment was deposited on the left stream
bank. This was the result of several large bankfull events and the stream channel
elevation being raised by the downstream beaver dam. The beaver dam was removed
after the MY4 survey. The MY5 survey indicates the stream channel cut back down
to the MYO elevation. Additional sediment was deposited on the stream banks and
Bowlin -Peak Creek 10
EEP Project Number: 92606
MY3, MY4 andMY5 Monitoring Report — Final, January 2014

began developing a bankf ill bench at a different elevation. The stream banks are
stable and well vegetated.
• Cross - section 2 transects a pool and the downstream portion of a log cross -vane. The
cross - section dimension was relatively stable between MYO and MY3. The stream
channel thalweg elevation decreased approximately 1.9 ft in MY4 and decreased
approximately 2.3 ft from the as -built condition. Additionally, the right bank
migrated approximately 0.5 ft to the right. Although not shown on the cross - section
overlay, the stream was piping under the right arm of the log cross vane. This change
in channel dimension in MY4 was the result of several bankfull storm events falling
over a 1.8 ft tall beaver dam 25 ft upstream of the log cross vane. This increased the
water's stream power and its ability to move larger sediment. The thalweg elevation
increased approximately 0.4 ft in MY5 and the right bank eroded an additional 0.6 ft.
• Cross - section 3 transects a pool downstream of a rock cross -vane. The MY1 cross -
section was survey slightly upstream of the as -built and MY2 surveys. The large
hump in the middle of the MY stream channel is a boulder from the rock cross -vane.
The stream channel remained stable in MY3 and aggraded 0.1 ft in MY4. Greater
than bankfull storm events soured the left stream bank at the bankfull bench elevation
in MY4. The stream channel thalweg elevation decreased approximately 0.3 ft in
MY5, back to the MY elevation and the stream banks have remained stable.
• Cross - section 4 transects a riffle. The stream channel and banks along this cross -
section has remained stable since MYO. Minor changes in the stream channel
thalweg elevation had occurred. The left stream bank bankfull bench continued to
developed and increased in elevation by 0.5 ft between the MY2 survey and MY5.
Both stream banks are well vegetated.
• Cross - section 5 transects a pool and the downstream portion of a rock J -hook on the
left stream bank. The thalweg moved approximately 1.2 ft to the right between the
as -built survey and MY and remained stable until MY5. The MY5 transect suggests
the left stream bank migrated approximately 1.7 ft to the right. This is highly
unlikely. The discrepancy is just a function of not surveying the exact same points
every year. The stream banks are well vegetated and have remained stable since
MYO.
• Cross - section 6 transects a riffle. The stream channel and banks have remained stable
the since the as -built survey with only minor channel adjustments. In MY5, the
cross - section transected the head of a pool caused by a downstream beaver dam. The
stream channel thalweg moved slightly to the right as a point bar formed on the left
bank. The beaver dam was removed after the MY5 survey and water appeared to
flush out the finer sediment in the point bar.
• Cross - section 7 transects a riffle. No enhancement activities were performed at this
cross - section. Approximately 1.6 ft of the right bank sloughed off between the as-
built survey and MY1. The thalweg shifted to the center of the channel in MY4 and
back to the right in MY5. The stream channel and banks have remained stable since
the MY 1 survey.

MY3, MY4 andMY5 Monitoring Report — Final, January 2014

4.1.5.3 Pattern
Enhancement work was mainly oriented towards reshaping banks to establish a bankfull
bench and did not change the stream pattern. Because only minor modifications were made to
the stream pattern and significant geomorphological changes did not occur during the five years
of monitoring, additional data analysis (Appendix B Table BA. 1.) was not performed in MY5.
4.1.5.4 Substrate Data
The reach -wide substrate particle analysis over all monitoring years revealed that the D50
and D84 have ranged from 29.9 mm to 64.0 mm, coarse to very coarse gravel and 88.3 mm to
174.2 mm, small to large cobble, respectively (Appendix B Section 7). Sand accumulated in the
pools in MY 1 and MY2 and was flushed out by the numerous storm events that occurred during
MY3. The D50 substrate particle size decreased in MY4 and MY5 from 56.1 mm in MY3 to
48.7 mm and 29.9 mm, respectively. This decrease was probably the result of sediment
accumulating behind the beaver dams.
Substrate particle counts also were conducted at each of the seven established cross - sections.
Particle data from the four riffle cross - sections were pooled to generate statistical values for each
monitoring year. The riffle mean D50 particle size remained relatively consistent throughout all
monitoring years and ranged from 49.9 mm to 32.6 mm (Appendix B Table BA. 1, Table B.4.2).
Substrate particle counts were consistent throughout all monitoring years for riffle cross - sections
1, 4 and 7. Cross - section 6 substrate particle counts were stable from MYO to MY4, but
decreased from 52.9 mm in MY4 to 4.9 mm in MY5. The beaver dam at station 18 +11 created a
pool that backed water over cross - section 6. Fine particulate sediment deposited in the pool
behind the dam.
The D50 particle size for each of the three pool cross - sections also are summarized in
Appendix B Table B.4.2 and Appendix B Section 7. Substrate particle counts for cross - section 2
remained relatively consistent (D50: 31.1 mm - 49.3 mm) through all monitoring years except in
MY2 when the D50 particle size increased to 74.1 mm. The D50 substrate particle size for
cross - section 3 decreased from 20.7 mm - coarse gravel in MYO to 9.9 mm - medium gravel in
MY2. This increase in smaller particles could have been a result of sediment from logging
practices upstream of the project site. Substrate particle size then increased to 27.3 mm - coarse
gravel in MY3 and 48.8 mm - very coarse gravel in MY4 and remained as very coarse gravel in
MY5. The change over monitoring years in D50 particle size for cross - section 5 was similar to
cross - section 3.
4.2 Hydrologic Criteria
One bankfull measurement was recorded from the on -site crest gage in MY3 and four were
recorded in MY4, none were recorded in MY5, making a total of seven recorded events since
construction ended in November 2007 (Appendix B Table B.8.1). Wrack lines above the
bankfull bench were identified visually on 9 April 2012 in MY5. At least one bankfull event was
recorded in every monitoring year. Additionally, three near bankfull or greater discharge events
Bowlin -Peak Creek 12
EEP Project Number: 92606
MY3, MY4 andMY5 Monitoring Report - Final, January 2014

were identified at the USGS South Fork New River flow gage station near Jefferson, North
Carolina in MY3, four were identified MY4, and five were identified in MY5 (Appendix B
Table B.8.1 and Figure B.9.1). A total of sixteen near bankfull or greater discharge events were
identified at the USGS South Fork New River gage station since construction ended. The project
has exceeded the USACE requirement of having at least two bankfull events measured in
separate monitoring years (USAGE 2003).
4.3 Vegetation Assessment
Each monitoring year's vegetation was surveyed in three 100 m2 representative plots
(Appendix A Figure A.3). Vegetation data, including plot attributes and vegetation metadata,
stem counts, plant vigor, and plant damage are presented in Appendix C Tables C.1.3.- C.1.8.
The total stem counts for the three vegetation plots increased from 126 (1700 stems /acre) in the
as -built survey to 274 (3,696 stems /acre) in MY3, decreased slightly in MY4 to 258 (3,480
stems /acre) and increased to 286 (3,858 stems /acre) in MY5. The riparian area was forested
prior construction and the increase in stems is attributed to native volunteer plants establishing
throughout the riparian area. The existing and natural /volunteer vegetation account for the
majority of plants in every plot; however, the planted vegetation including live stakes in each
plot still exceeds the USACE requirement of 260 stems /acres in MY5 ( USACE 2003).
A majority of the planted stems in each monitoring year were considered to be in good to
excellent condition, 78% in MY1, 66% in MY2, 70% in MY3, 80% in MY4 and 85% in MY5.
It appears the planted vegetation took several years to get established. The early decrease in
planted stem vigor was expected due to the number of bare root trees planted, the fact that a
vegetation plot is located near a public fishing access area, and the established deer population in
the area. Deer, beaver and insects were the primary cause of damage to planted vegetation.
4.3.1 Vegetative Problem Areas
There were no vegetation problem areas identified in the first three monitoring years. Five
vegetation problem areas were identified in MY4 and four in MY5 (Appendix C Section 2). All
vegetation problem areas appear to be due to beaver activity. Site VPA MY4 -2 appeared to
recover from the beaver activity by MY5 and was drastically reduced in size. In MY4, site VPA
MY4 -5 was flooded due to the beaver dam and the vegetation grew back after the dam was
removed. Site VPA MY54 was added in MY5 and was near the new beaver dam. Most of
these problem areas are small and don't require additional planting. Site VPA MY54 is on the
outside of a meander bend and planting additional live stakes at the toe of the slope would help
ensure long -term stream bank stability. However, the mature riparian vegetation should supply
an adequate seed source for natural volunteers to colonize these sites.
Multiflora rose was identified as a problem at the site prior to construction and was often
located in areas with eroding stream banks (NCWRC 2009). The physical removal of plants
during construction and the subsequent annual spring herbicide treatments for the past five years
have greatly reduced the number of plants. Multiflora rose is still found throughout the project
site in limited quantities. Plants are typically small and appear to come from the existing seed
bank. Multiflora rose will be an ongoing problem at this site because of the existing seed bed,
Bowlin -Peak Creek 13
EEP Project Number: 92606
MY3, MY4 andMY5 Monitoring Report — Final, January 2014

the presence of additional plants in the adjacent pasture and in the riparian area upstream of the
project.
4.4 Farm Management Plan
The livestock management program was installed during construction and included the
improvement of the existing stream - crossing, installation of four watering tanks, drilling of a
well and pump installation, and fencing to exclude livestock from the riparian zone ( NCWRC
2009). Damaged fence at the ford crossing was identified during a routine inspection on 3
February 2011. It consisted of several wooden fence posts knocked over and the fence being
clogged with debris. The fence was repaired on 26 May 2011. Besides the incidence mention
above, all best management practices have functioned throughout the monitoring period and
were functioning properly at the time of the MY5 vegetation survey.
4.5 Summary
Since completion of the Bowlin -Peak Creek mitigation project in November 2007, one as-
built survey and five monitoring surveys have been conducted. The monitoring surveys reveal
that the project site is in large part performing as designed with minimal changes in any of the
major morphological components. The site remained stable with no major failures to structures
for the first three monitoring years. Some damage occurred to stream banks and two structures
in MY4 and MY5 as a result beaver activity and multiple greater than bankfull storm events.
The longitudinal profile and the cross - sections have revealed some aggradation and degradation
of the stream thalweg during the five -year monitoring period as well. However, this was
localized and primarily the result of beaver dams and upstream inputs. Although substrate
particle size has fluctuated slightly since construction, the bed material generally has remained in
the gravel and cobble categories. There has been an increase in fine particle sized substrate in
the pools due to upstream sources of sediment and sediment accumulating behind beaver dams.
The riparian vegetation is flourishing, preserving bank integrity and channel sinuosity. There
have been seven bankfull events identified at the project site since construction ended in 2007.
With little exception, the stream channel, banks and constructed log and rock structures remain
stable and are preforming as desired.
We recommend that 1) this site be considered stabilized and released from further monitoring
and 2) a long -term multiflora rose control plan should be implemented to prevent the species
from displacing native plants within the easement area before they have matured.

1. Metrics that are spatial estimates that are continuous variables should be entered as:
The number of locals over the reach for which the failing condition is observed / followed by the total linear distance (feet) or area for which the failing or unstable condition is observed.
2. In the case of categorical metrics for which a feature count is involved, this is simply calculated as the number of functional features that are in a stated of stability as a percentage of the total. In the case of those
metrics based on footage or aerial extent it is that amount in a state of failure or instability expressed as a pooportion of the total amount ofthat feature. The resulting proportion is then subtracted from I and then
multiplied by 100 to give a percentage that represents the proportion of that feature category in a state of apparent stability
3. The mean ofthe metrics for a givien feature category.
4. Was the feature actually present as compared to the As -built or has the featrue been completely obsucred (aggraded) of removed (degraded)
5. Is the thalweg centering up on the channel between meander bends?
6. Amount of active bank failure/erosion. This should be the tally of all stressed and failing banks from the problem area plan view, which can then be calculated as indicated in footnote 1 above.
