Rockwell Pastures lies within the Yadkin Basin North Carolina • Division of Water Quality (DWQ) sub-basin 03-07-08 and local HUC 03040104010020. The site • contains seven degraded unnamed tributaries (UT1, UT2, UT3, UT4, UT5, UT6, and UT7) to David's Creek/Lake Tillery (Figure 2). Lake Tillery is listed as DWQ class Water Supply (WS-IV, CA) waters. • As such, these streams are considered to be WS-IV streams. The project area is located in the • Carolina Slate Belt sub-ecoregion of the Piedmont ecoregion. • In response to RFP 16-D07033, the Site was proposed by EBX, LLC (EBX) and accepted by the North • Carolina Division of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR), Ecosystem Enhancement • Program (EEP) to provide stream and wetland mitigation in the Yadkin River Basin (Cataloging Unit 03040104). EBX has engaged Kimley-Horn and Associates Inc. as designer for the Site. • The upper part of the watershed currently is used for agriculture and silviculture purposes. No • appropriate riparian vegetation is present because row crops are planted to the existing stream edges • of the upper part of UT1, UT5, UT6 and UT7. These streams also have been directly impacted and • straightened in some areas. The silvicultural activities that included direct impacts to the stream bed • have completely destabilized UT4 and have resulted in a removal of native bottomland or headwater forest vegetation. Much of the buffer along the stream is in row pines, sparsely vegetated with • herbaceous species, or inhabited with invasive species. The lower part of the project - which • includes UT1, UT2, and UT3 - is pastureland where cattle have unlimited access to the streams. As a • result, the streams are highly sedimented and contaminated with livestock waste, which is a source of BOD, fecal coliform, and nutrients among other pollutants. Most of the buffer is vegetated with fescue • or other grasses with a few areas of very sparse trees. The main tributary (UT1) was completely • straightened and channelized in the early 1970's, according to the landowner. • Restoration Project Goals and Objectives • The goal of this project is to restore natural stream and wetland system functions to a site highly degraded by historical agricultural activity and livestock management. Because of the size of the • project and its position in the landscape, the project will address an entire watershed. The project will • provide ecological functional lift to the existing system by restoring the stream and riparian habitat. It • also will seek to restore and enhance non-riparian low elevation seeps. Benefits will include improved water quality by reducing sediment load through stabilization and by reducing nutrient and other • pollutant input by the addition of forested riparian buffers planted with native species. Additionally, the • forested buffers and reconnection with the historic flood plain or new flood plain will improve channel • hydraulics and system capacity. Improvements to the ecosystem include the addition of in-stream habitat by the use of in-stream structures and bank revetments such as root wads. By providing an • appropriate mix of native forest vegetation to create a canopy and understory, the soil structure will • improve, a leaf litter source will be established to support aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, and ? ? d l • A an Associates, Inc. d • • DRAFT Restoration Plan Rockwell Pastures Site Stanly County, North Carolina shading and cooling will be provided to improve water quality. These improvements will provide functional uplift for the watershed as a whole. Removing the riparian and wetland areas from agriculture will reduce sedimentation and nutrient inputs. In addition, prohibiting livestock access from the stream and riparian area will improve stream function. Excluding livestock will prevent direct damage from hoof shear and animal waste discharging directly to the stream. This action will decrease sedimentation, improve bank vegetation, and reduce eutrophication and fecal coliform contamination from animal waste. The pattern, profile, and dimension of the channel will be adjusted to approximately match regional curve values and reference reach conditions. Structures such as rock cross vanes, a-vanes, rock vanes, log sills, log vanes, single- and double-wing deflectors and bank revetments will be used to provide grade control, add habitat, and/or introduce bedform diversity. On-site wetlands will be restored and enhanced to low elevation seep wetlands as described by Classification of the Natural Communities of North Carolina Third Approximation by Michael P. Schafale and Alan S. Weakley. The riparian areas at this site will be planted with a combination of Piedmont/Mountain bottomland forest, Piedmont/Mountain levee forest, and Piedmont/Low Mountain alluvial forest communities as described by Schafale and Weakley. The wetland areas will be planted with a mix of low elevation seep herbaceous vegetation and bottomland hardwood forest vegetation.

The WS-IV classification denotes a Water Supply IV that is highly developed. The Site's streams do not appear on the 2008 North Carolina 303(d) list of impaired waters. 2.3 Physiography, Geology, and Soils The project area is located in the Carolina Slate Belt sub-ecoregion of the Piedmont ecoregion. This sub-region extends from southern Virginia, across the Carolinas, and into a small part of eastern Georgia. The mineral-rich metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks with slatey cleavage tend to be finer-grained and less metamorphosed than other parts of the Piedmont and are somewhat less resistant to erosion. In North Carolina, some parts of the region are more rugged and hilly. Trellised drainage patterns also occur in parts of the region. The volcanic-sedimentary 2 ? ? ? Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. • • • DRAFT • Restoration Plan • Rockwell Pastures Site • Stanly County, North Carolina • • • rock formations include volcanic slates, basic and acid tuffs, breccias, and interbedded flows. The • volcanic slates are deeply weathered in places, forming clay and shale, and the soils generally • have high silt contents. Georgeville and Herndon soils (fine, kaolinitic, thermic Typic Hapludults) • are common. • The NRCS soil survey for Stanly County maps the following soils within the site: Badin channery • silt loam, Ewon very strong loam, Kirksey silt loam, Oakboro silt loam, Tatum gravelly loam, and • Tatum channery silt clay. • 2.4 Historical Land Use and Development Trends • • 2.4.1 Historical Land Use • Historically, agricultural land and forests have dominated the landscape of the watershed. • The land use has been split evenly between agriculture and forest (Restoration Table III). • 2.4.2 Development Trends • The Site's primary landowners own almost the entire watershed draining into the project • streams. The area lies within a rural setting and the landowners have not expressed an • interest in developing the land within the watershed. There is potential for the Dennis property • to secure a permanent farm conservation easement that would preclude future development of • the upper half of the watershed. • 2.5 Endangered/Threatened Species • • Under the provisions of Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, as amended, • federal law requires that any action likely to affect a federally protected species adversely be • subject to review by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). . The USFWS database ' (updated January 16, 2008) lists one federally endangered species for Stanly County: Schweinitz s • sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii). Yadkin River goldenrod (Solidago plumosa) and Georgia aster • (Symphyotrichum georgianum) are identified as candidate species; however, these species do not • receive federal protection. The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. Review of the Natural Heritage Program (NHP) database of • documented occurrences did not reveal the presence of any of these species within a 1-mile radius • of the proposed Site. Each species, its habitat, and its status are described in Table 4. • • Schweinitz's Sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzit) • Schweinitz's sunflower is a perennial herb, usually 3 to 6 feet tall with yellow flowers that occur in • late August to October. Schweinitz's sunflower is found in relatively open habitats such as • • 3 ? M ? Kimley-Horn • M and Associates, Inc. • DRAFT Restoration Plan Rockwell Pastures Site Stanly County, North Carolina roadsides, maintained rights-of-way, early successional fields, and woodland openings. Generally, Schweinitz's sunflower occurs on shallow, poorly drained, clayey and/or rocky soils. Marginal habitat for Schweinitz's sunflower exists along the agricultural field edges at the Rockwell Pastures property; however, the frequent disturbance here makes these areas unfavorable. The majority of Site is used as open active agricultural fields, void of any native vegetation. The soils are predominantly deep and moderately to well-drained. No occurrences of Schweinitz's sunflower have been documented in the NHP database within a one-mile radius of the proposed mitigation site and presence of this species has not been observed by Kimley-Horn biologists during site investigations conducted during Schweinitz's sunflower flowering season. BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT Bald Eagle (Haliaeefus leucocephalus) The bald eagle is a large raptor that typically inhabits the shorelines of large rivers, lakes, and ponds. Bald eagles construct nests in large trees near the shoreline and make use of the large water bodies for foraging. Suitable habitat for bald eagle does not exist within the proposed mitigation areas, as there are no large bodies of water on or adjacent to the proposed project property. No occurrences of bald eagle have been documented in the NHP database within a one-mile radius of the proposed mitigation site and presence of this species or of suitable habitat for this species has not been observed by Kimley-Horn biologists during site investigations. BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT. • Yadkin River Goldenrod (Solidago plumose) • Yadkin River goldenrod is a perennial herb, endemic to the Yadkin River in North Carolina. • Currently, plants are known to exist in only two locations, within 2 kilometers of each other, along - the shoreline of the Yadkin River. This species is listed as a candidate species by the USFWS. • Habitat for Yadkin River goldenrod does not exist on the Site due to the lack of flood scouring, the • establishment and spread of invasive species, and the clearing of native vegetation for agricultural purposes. The majority of this site is used as open active agricultural fields, void of any native • vegetation. • No occurrences of Yadkin River goldenrod have been documented in the NHP database within a 1- • mile radius of the proposed mitigation site. In addition, Kimley-Horn biologists have not observed • the presence of this species during investigations. • BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT • • 4 ? ? Kimley-Horn • and Associates, Inc. • DRAFT Restoration Plan Rockwell Pastures Site Stanly County, North Carolina Georaia Aster (Svmphvotrichum aeoraianum Georgia aster is a perennial herb distinguished by its large flower heads with dark purple rays up to 2 cm long. Disc flowers are white with purplish tips on the corollas. Blooms first appear in early October and continue into mid-November. Georgia aster is found in dry open woods, roadsides, maintained rights-of-way, and woodland openings in dry oak-pine flatwoods and uplands in the state's Piedmont region. This species is most likely a relic of the post oak-savanna communities that existed in the region prior to fire suppression. Georgia aster is listed as a candidate species by the USFWS. Marginal habitat for Georgia aster exists along the agricultural field edges at the Site where the frequent disturbances of the site mimic natural disturbances; however, the majority of this area is used as open active agricultural fields, void of any native vegetation. No occurrences of Georgia aster have been documented in the NHP database within a 1-mile radius of the proposed Site, and presence of this species has not been observed by Kimley-Horn biologists during investigations. The USFWS lists the record status for Georgia aster as "historic," meaning the species was last observed in Stanly County more than 50 years ago.

Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. • • DRAFT • Restoration Plan • Rockwell Pastures Site • Stanly County, North Carolina • • • 2.7.2 Site Access • Tributary UT1 could be accessed from several points where there are existing farm roads and • driveways. It is anticipated that the upper part of UT1, UT5, and UT4 as well as the wetland • restoration will be accessed using the main road through the Dennis farm. The lower part of • UT1, UT2, UT3, and the restoration portion of UT7 will be accessed through the main road of the Reece farm. It is assumed that UT6 and the upper portion of UT7 will be accessed from • the Dennis farm road. However, it also would be possible to access these streams from the • main farm road. • 2.7.3 Utilities Hunsucker Surveying, P.A. located one overhead power line on the Site that has been • excluded from the project with a 20 foot-wide corridor. The survey did not show an easement • with this power line. The power line crosses UT4 and is assumed to sere a single residence. The site work contractor will be advised to contact North Carolina One Call prior to beginning • any construction activity. 2.7.4 FEMA/Hydrologic Trespass • Based on the latest available flood mapping from NC Flood Maps, the site is outside of any • mapped floodplains and should not be affected by any FEMA requirements.

The channel has failing banks and is moderately to severely incised for most of its length. Much of the area of UT1 below its confluence with UT4 is open, active pasture except for a short length of approximately 375 feet of sparse woody vegetation at the bottom of the project. The presence of livestock and maintenance in the pasture have resulted in degraded and eroded stream banks. The upper portion of UT1 above the confluence with UT4 is located within active agricultural fields. Except for the 375-foot-section at the bottom of the project, the entire length of UT1 has been historically straightened and channelized, which . has contributed to the instability. The stream also is heavily sedimented. However, it does support a variety of aquatic life, including fish, crayfish, frogs, and macrobenthos.

UT2 is a first order stream based on the 1:24,000 USGS Topographic Map (Figure 4). The existing condition of UT2 is similar to that of UT1. It has been heavily impacted by livestock, is fed by an existing pond, and is a Bc channel. The stream is heavily sedimented, but contains aquatic life characteristic of perennial streams, including right-handed (gilled) snails, mayflies, bullfrog tadpoles, and minnows. The herbaceous buffer along the stream has been severely degraded by livestock access. The stream's . perennial portion scored a 32 on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form. The low scoring of the stream is due to the impact from livestock (sedimentation and hoof-shear), which removed much of the geomorphic features that would normally be found in a stream this size. UT3 is a small stream that has a perennial and an intermittent portion (Figure 4). UT3 has been heavily impacted by livestock and the buffer contains herbaceous vegetation. The short, upper portion of the stream is considered to be intermittent and would be considered an incised Rosgen E type channel. The intermittent portion is eroding and is subject to heavy sedimentation due to hoof shear and livestock access. The lower portion of the stream is alternately incised and sedimented with failing banks and has been degraded by livestock impacts such as hoof shear. The middle portion of this stream is sedimented by livestock damage to the point that it has lost its form. The entire perennial reach of the stream appears to have been historically straightened..

These reaches were straightened and their buffers have been cleared and historically managed to maximize usable pasture and/or farmland. The channels are unstable and rarely exhibit defined riffle pool sequence and/or suitable aquatic habitat. The streams have become incised or hydrologically disconnected from the floodplains resulting in increased shear stress, velocity and the removal of hydrology from the historic adjacent riparian wetlands. Restoration Table IV shows complete channel morphology data including channel, pattern, dimension, and profile for all restoration and project reaches. 3.4 Channel Stability Assessment The Site contains restoration reaches currently and historically used for pastures and farmland (Appendix 1). The vegetative buffers have been cleared and are currently open fields with some tree specimens along the banks. The streams also have been historically straightened to maximize usable land. Because of these conditions, most of the restoration reaches have down- cut, creating incised banks and accelerated bank erosion. Most of the project reaches lack the proper dimension, pattern, profile, and aquatic habitat. 11 ? ? ?

The areas closest to the stream have been recently disturbed and colonized by herbaceous vegetation, including grasses, rushes and sedges, blackberry (Rubus sp.), multiflora rose, and Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica). However, there are a variety of woody species present, including Green Ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), Eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), Chinese privet, inkberry (Ilex glabra), sweetgum (Liquidambarstyraciflua), and hickory (Carya spp.). Of these species, multiflora rose, Japanese honeysuckle, and Chinese privet are considered invasive. 4.0 Reference Stream 4.1 Watershed Characterization Two on-site reference reaches were surveyed for key geomorphological parameters (Figure 7). These areas were deemed to be relatively stable with riff le pool sequences appropriate for the stream and valley type. Both of these streams lie within in the same watershed. The upper UT4 reference stream is mostly wooded and includes a series of three small ponds. UT1 watershed is partially wooded and mostly in agriculture or pastureland. The reference site on UT1 will be used 12 ? M ? Kimley-Horn M and Associates, Inc. DRAFT Restoration Plan Rockwell Pastures Site Stanly County, North Carolina for the streams with drainage areas of greater than 0.25 square miles and similar valley type, the lower parts of UT1 and UT4. The upper UT4 reference will be used for the rest of the streams that have drainage areas of less than 0.25 square miles. Geomorphic data for dimension, pattern, and profile also was gathered on UT2 since it is relatively stable. The watershed for UT2 is partially cutover and includes a pond immediately upstream. The data gathered from these reach corresponded very well with the regional curve data (see Appendix 7). 4.2 Channel Classification The upper UT4 reference reach is classified as a Rosgen C4 channel; the UT1 reference reach is classified as a Rosgen C4 channel; and the UT2 reach is classified as a Rosgen 134c channel. The reference stream morphology is included in Restoration Table IV. 4.3 Discharge The peak flows for the 2-, 10-, 25-, and 100-year storms were modeled for the given drainage areas.

Only W2 is jurisdictional and is described in section 5.1. W1 is a proposed non-riparian wetland restoration site. It is located west of UT6, but the two do not have any hydrologic interaction. The site also is located high enough in the valley where it does not have any relevant hydrological interaction with UT1. The site receives overland flow from two ephemeral drainage ways. It also appears to interact with the groundwater table and groundwater seepage. The site is currently in agriculture and has been ditched in two directions and crowned (see photo 15 of Appendix 1). There is a series of ditches and crowning running parallel to the valley and one Swale running perpendicular to the valley that has resulted in the effective draining of the site. The soils analysis performed by a licensed soil scientist reveals the presence of relic hydric soil features (see Appendix 9). As such, the site is considered a drained wetland. W3 is located near upper UT1 outside of the project easement and will be used a reference for hydrology. 5.1 Jurisdictional Wetlands UT4 flows through one jurisdictional wetland, W2 (see Figure 5). It was delineated following the guidelines presented in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual. The center of the wetland is located at -80 8.52, 3516.63 degrees (NAD83) and covers 0.13 acres. 14 ? ? ? Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. DRAFT Restoration Plan Rockwell Pastures Site Stanly County, North Carolina This area is considered a low quality wetland because of a lack of appropriate bottomland hardwood forest tree species or low elevation seep herbaceous species. This wetland will be enhanced through supplemental plantings. The stream restoration in this area should not alter the hydrology of the existing wetland because it will maintain the existing water table. There were no other jurisdiction wetlands identified within the easement boundaries. However, jurisdictional wetlands may be established within the pond bottoms on UT4 after they are drained. 5.2 Hydrological Characterization 5.2.1 Groundwater Modeling The on-site hydrological reference wetland, W3, has a similar position in the valley as W1, - since it is a seep that discharges to UTi, but does not receive the majority of its groundwater - hydrology from UTi. As such, the reference, W3, and restoration wetland, W1, are considered to be non-riparian. Although the soils are not mapped as the same type (Oakboro silt loam in the restoration wetland versus Kirksey silt loam in the hydrologic reference wetland) the soils are similar to those of the restoration area, W1. This allows the hydrologic reference to be - used as a base for comparing quantitative criteria for a simplified hydrologic budget and to compare groundwater elevations using groundwater monitoring gages. Rainfall, groundwater, and surface water inputs from respective adjacent streams, evaporation, infiltration, and ground water flows should be relatively similar for the reference site and the proposed • restoration/enhancement site. The ratio of wetland area to contributing drainage area can be used as a basis to determine as one indicator that the hydrologic inputs are sufficient for the proposed restoration. The reference wetland (not including the stream inputs) to wetland area is a ratio of 15.7:1. The ratio for the restoration area is approximately 10.5:1, which is similar in magnitude. This data helps verify that the source hydrology and groundwater would support - these wetlands once the hydrologic modifications are returned to reference (i.e., ditches are removed, and adjacent channels are raised to historic or reference levels). It is assumed based on the position of the reference and restoration wetlands that the hydrologic input from the closest streams would not occur except in extreme flood events. 5.2.2 Surface Water Modeling Since the restoration wetland is non-riparian, inputs from flooding will be considered negligible. A HEC RAS analysis will be performed for UT1, but will not be used to analyze the wetland restoration. 5.2.3 Hydrologic Budget The proposed wetland restoration area receives hydrologic inputs through hill slope seepage, connection to the groundwater table, and surface runoff. The proposed wetland restoration site has been drained by bi-directional ditching designed to drain the wetlands and improve 15 ? ? ? Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • DRAFT Restoration Plan Rockwell Pastures Site Stanly County, North Carolina drainage for agriculture and pasture. The wetland area also has been crowned and tilled, which has removed the microtopography. These drainage improvements have led to the draining of seepage and upslope runoff, lowering of the local groundwater table, and reduction of the length of inundation. 5.3 Soil Characterization • Kimley-Horn has engaged Soil Water & Environment Group (SWE) to provide licensed soil scientist • services. SWE personnel investigated the project site to confirm NRCS soil survey mapping data for the wetland restoration location, record detailed soil descriptions for the restoration areas • representing different landscape positions across the site, and to determine the extent of hydric soils for the purpose of wetland restoration site criteria. A series of hand augerings were • performed across selected areas of the proposed wetland restoration site at maximum depths of approximately 18 to 24 inches. Detailed soil descriptions including depth of horizon, color, texture, • structure, and consistence were recorded (Appendix 9). For areas where relic redoximorphic • features occur at a depth of greater than 12 inches due to site disturbance from farming, minor • grading of less than or equal to 6 inches would most likely result in a change to more hydric • conditions and an elevated water table. Typically, wetland areas include soils that have a matrix with chroma 1 or 2 within the upper 12 inches. • • 5.3.1 Taxonomic Classification See Appendix 9 for the taxonomic report performed by SWE on March 9, 2007. • 5.3.2 Profile Description • See Appendix 9 for the taxonomic report performed by SWE on March 9, 2007. • • 5.3.3 Hydraulic Conductivity • According to the soil surrey for Stanly County, the soils found onsite in the wetland restoration • and hydrological reference area are moderately well drained and are moderately to slowly • permeable.

The actions we plan to take to accomplish this goal will improve water quality, ecological function, and habitat and will include: ¦ Removing excess nutrients and sediment through the use of vegetative buffers ¦ Increasing dissolved oxygen concentrations through the use of in-stream structures and the turbulence they produce in pools ¦ Stabilizing the stream bank using natural channel design techniques ¦ Improving substrate through the use of structures and the elimination of major sediment sources from the stream ¦ Creating habitat diversity by introducing woody structures such as log vanes and/or root wads ¦ Reducing temperature by restoring canopy in the buffer areas ¦ Reconnecting streams to their adjacent floodplains and wetlands ¦ Raising groundwater levels in adjacent streams by raising adjacent channel bed elevation ¦ Removing/plugging ditches used to drain historic wetlands ¦ Creating micro-topography by regrading and ripping wetlands ¦ Breaking up historically compacted soils by cattle to allow the groundwater to come to the surface and wetland vegetation to flourish ¦ Improving crossings by replacing pipes and/or stabilizing outfalls ¦ Controlling the invasive exotics by removing them during construction ¦ Preserving stable on-site streams, wetlands, and riparian buffers draining into the enhancement/restoration reaches ¦ Excluding livestock through fencing ¦ Re-vegetating the stream banks, wetlands, and riparian area to improve bio-diversity and ecology ¦ Providing all of the above in order to restore riparian functions to the entire watershed. 18 ?

The uppermost portion will be treated using Enhancement Level II to establish stability. Most of the remaining reaches of the stream will be treated using restoration since the stream is incised and has been historically straightened (based on morphological data gathered and information provided by the landowners). Restoring these sections of stream using a Priority 1 restoration technique will re-connect the stream with its historical floodplain, restoring the functions of the riparian buffer. One exception to this approach is the lowest portion (approximately 375 feet) that is not incised and has a thin wooded buffer. This area will be treated using Enhancement Level II that may include some minor bank grading. The other exception is the reach along the upper portion just above the main farm road where property constraints will only allow the use of buffer planting, benches and grade control structures to provide an improved cross section and bedform (profile) step/pool features. In this section, the eastern bank of the stream will only have a 10-25 foot buffer. This concession to the landowners was necessary to secure the entire stream corridor. Enhancement Level I credit will be sought for this section. UT2 - This small perennial stream is accessible to livestock and is located immediately below a large farm pond at the toe of a hill. The stream does not appear to have been relocated and has a relatively stable and natural morphology with a boulder substrate. As such, livestock will be fenced from the stream and native forest vegetation will be established to provide 50-foot buffers. This treatment is considered to be Enhancement Level II. UT3 - This small perennial stream with a short intermittent section at the top. The geomorphic assessment revealed that the perennial portion of the stream does not provide appropriate dimension, pattern, or profile. It also appears to have been historically straightened. Additionally, the stream is accessible to livestock that have heavily degrading it by hoof shear and animal waste. Fully restoring this channel will provide uplift by stabilizing the stream and by providing improved stream habitat. Additionally, livestock will be excluded from the stream by fencing. UT5 and UT6 - These small intermittent streams are located in agricultural fields. Since these systems are relatively small, it is anticipated that they can be stabilized by re-establishing a woody riparian buffer. As such, we are proposing Enhancement Level II for these streams. Providing a riparian buffer to the intermittent portions of the above streams will protect the downstream areas by removing sedimentation sources and by providing shading to reduce temperature. The stream banks along UT5 and UT6 are unstable due to agriculture and mowing down to the stream edge. A forested buffer will provide filtering for sediments and shading to reduce temperatures. UT4 - The uppermost portion of this stream includes three small spring fed ponds. The stream will be restored through these ponds by partially removing the dam structure and allowing the stream channel to be re-established in the pond bottom. The approach is to establish the lowest, presumably flat, portions of the existing pond bottoms as the flood plain and to create a channel 19 ? ? ?

Our experience is that this approach • minimizes sediment loss and rapidly re-establishes the stream and riparian corridor. • Immediately below the ponds and for a short section just above and below the existing road, the • stream channel is stable with undercut banks and an appropriate riffle/pool sequence. However, - there are invasive species that are to be removed and replanted with native tree species. As such, this treatment is considered to be Enhancement Level II. • • Between the above reaches, there is a reach that had been impacted by the farmer on numerous occasions using earth-moving equipment. This reach has multiple threads in some locations and • the main part of the stream switches channels or forms new channels from time to time (i.e. the • streams are laterally unstable). The reaches also have excessively wide width to depth ratios and • are overly shallow in areas with bedrock. This area will receive a combination of Restoration and Enhancement Level I treatment by blocking the multi-threaded areas, building benches using • single or double wing deflectors, and adding appropriate bed-form features using log and rock • vanes. The goal of this approach is to re-create a single thread channel with an appropriate width - to depth ratio that is laterally stable and has better formed riffle-pool complexes. This will greatly • improve habitat and reduce sedimentation. There is a large headcut on UT4 above the confluence with UT5. From this point down, the stream is incised and highly eroded and will be restored using • Priority 1 stream restoration techniques. UT4 will also be placed back into its natural valley as it • enters the Reese property. The existing channel had been relocated to the west. • UT7 - This stream is intermittent above the confluence with UT6. The intermittent reach has a • rocky substrate that is sedimented. Providing Enhancement Level II treatment to this portion will • provide functional uplift to this biologically important stream. Providing a riparian buffer to the intermittent portions of the above streams will protect the downstream areas by removing • sedimentation sources and by providing shading to reduce temperature. • The perennial reach below the confluence with UT6 has been strongly impacted by hoof-shear and • nutrient inputs from livestock access. However, because of this and the fact that the stream has - been historically straightened, it lacks proper dimension, pattern, and profile and will be restored • using Priority 1 restoration techniques. This reach will also be fenced to exclude livestock. Non-Riparian Wetland Restoration • The proposed non-riparian wetland restoration plan includes the restoration of 1.7 acres of non- riparian wetlands. The plan will target the restoration of a non-riparian low elevation seep • (Schafale and Weakley 1990). Based on the location of the restoration site, the main source of hydrology is from seepage and overland flow. The site is currently being drained by a pattern of • ditches that will be filled. Crowning will be removed and micro-topography re-established. • Separate reference wetlands for hydrology and vegetation are located on-site and plantings are • based on communities (Schafale and Weakley 1990). • • • 20 ?

The Enhancement Level I and Level II sections of UT1, UT2, UT4, UT5, UT6 and UT7 are proposed as Rosgen B, C or E streams (see Restoration Table IV). The wetland restoration is proposed as a non-riparian low elevation seep wetland. 7.1.2 Target Wetland Communities/Buffer Communities The riparian areas at this site are designed to be a combination of piedmont/mountain bottomland forest, piedmont/mountain levee forest, and piedmont/low mountain alluvial forest communities and the wetlands are proposed to be a low elevation seep (Schafale and Weakley 1990).. 7.2 Sediment Transport Analysis 7.2.1 Methodology The shields curve was used to calculate the sediment transport for UT1, UT3, UT4, and UT7 because their stream bed substrate is a gravel-like material and the stream slope is steep on several of the reaches. Sediment transport was calculated using shear stress equations and shields curve to verify that the designed channel will be able to transport its bedload at bankfull without aggrading or degrading. The shields curve was used for the initiation of particle movement and to estimate the range of particles transported for a given shear stress. Stream power was also assessed to check for unacceptable increases or decreases in stream power that could signify potential problems with the proposed channels ability to transport its sediment load. Stream power was calculated using the shear stress equation multiplied by the stream velocity to verify that the designed channel would be able to transport its bedload at bankfull without degrading. Two physical characteristics of the channel design that affect the stream power of the channel are the slope of the channel and hydraulic radius. The shear stress equation is as follows: T=yRs Where: T= shear stress (lb/ft2) y = specific gravity of water (62.4 Ib/ft3) R = hydraulic radius (ft) s = water surface slope (ft/ft) • • • • • The hydraulic radius equals the cross sectional area divided by the wetted perimeter. 21 ? ?

Ps=TV Where: Ps = stream power (lbs/ft*s) T = shear stress (lb/ft2) v = velocity (ft/s) 7.2.2 Calculations and Discussion UT1, UT3, UT4, and UT7 were designed with mean depths and slopes sufficient to transport a range of particles. These channels are designed to eliminate bank erosion, flush fine particles, and transport the characteristic sediments. The characteristic sediments were determined by analyzing bed materials in comparative streams with less impacted watersheds. Table 9 provides the results of the sediment transport calculations using the shear stress equation and Shields curve. The results show that the proposed channel should transport a range of materials that includes the existing or characteristic channel materials. 22 ? ? ? Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.

A Priority 1 stream approach was used for UT1, UT3, UT4 and UT7 to restore dimension, pattern, and profile. An Enhancement Level 1 approach was used for sections of UT4 and UT1. These approaches result in raising the streambed, creating an overall localized net rise in elevation throughout the restoration areas. For the proposed stream, the channels are designed so that the bankfull and higher flow events flood out of the channel and hydrate the surrounding floodplain. The enhancement level II reaches of UT1, UT2, UT4, UT5, UT6 and UT7 do not raise the streambed elevations and therefore do not result in any rise in flood elevations throughout the restoration areas. The lower reach of UT4 will be relocated back to its original valley location with a priority 1 restoration approach. This will increase the flooding frequency for this localized floodplain. 25 ? ? ? Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. • • • DRAFT • Restoration Plan - Rockwell Pastures Site • Stanly County, North Carolina 7.3.1 No-Rise, LOMB, CLOMR None of the streams are located in FEMA mapped areas. Therefore no CLOMR, LOMB, or No-Rise certification will be required for this project. 7.3.2 Hydrologic Trespass There is an increase in flood elevations for UT1, UT3, UT4, and UT7. All project reaches drain into David's Creek and the increase in on-site flood elevations will not increase the flood elevations of David's Creek/Lake Tillery, and, therefore, will not cause any hydrologic trespass to anyone downstream. The increase in flood elevations also is isolated to the project parcels and will not increase flood elevations upstream. 7.4 Stormwater Best Management Practices 7.4.1 Site-Specific Stormwater Concerns The project site is situated in a rural setting. It is anticipated that the re-established riparian buffer will be a sufficient filter and treat any stormwater runoff from the adjacent fields. Non- jurisdictional areas where concentrated stormwater flows enter the easement will be captured in no-maintenance BMPs (vernal pools/level spreaders) created by grading. There are no other site-specific stormwater concerns. 7.5 Hydrologic Modification 7.5.1 Narrative of Modification Hydrologic modifications to the non-riparian wetland restoration area will result from a combination of plugging of existing drainage ditches, removing field crowns, and providing microtopography to improve surface water infiltration. Key hydrological components for the project's wetlands include inputs from over-land flow, groundwater seepage, infiltration of (micro-)ponded waters, and the balance of groundwater inflows and outflows. The local groundwater elevations and the balance of groundwater inflows and outflows will be increased by the removal of field crowns and removal of field ditches. The jurisdictional wetland and other potential riparian wetland "restoration" areas will be hydrologically enhanced by rising of the stream channels (in some locations), which will elevate the groundwater table and increase the frequency of overbank flooding. 26 ? ? Kimley-Horn • and Associates, Inc. • DRAFT Restoration Plan Rockwell Pastures Site Stanly County, North Carolina 7.6 Soil Restoration Soils within the riparian restoration areas will be treated to facilitate the growth and development of plantings. The soils will be ripped or otherwise appropriated treated prior to planting to break up compacted soils and create a favorable environment for new plants. Plant nutrients and soil amendments will be applied to the soils if deemed necessary based on the soils test report performed by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Agronomic Division for sample sites located throughout the project area. 7.7 Natural Plant Community Restoration • The goal of the riparian restoration is to provide long-term improvements to ecological functions of • the existing forest community. The Restoration Plan Design Sheets have been developed to • provide these functional uplifts through the re-establishment of targeted natural communities. The targeted natural communities were determined by comparing existing site conditions to established • communities and verifying appropriate species in the proximate reference natural communities. Based on the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program's Nature Community Classification, the • site's riparian area most closely correlates to piedmont/mountain bottomland forest, piedmont/mountain levee forest, and piedmont/low mountain alluvial forest communities (Schafale and Weakley 1990). • • 7.7.1 Reforestation Scheme • The goal of the planting scheme is to establish a riparian community consistent with the • reference community, using an approach that accelerates the successional process and leads to a mature riparian community. The planting plan will use the reference plant communities • discussed in the previous paragraph as a base for designing a planting scheme and developing a vegetation list. Recolonization of cleared riparian habitats characteristically begins with the invasion of a • pioneer species that creates an environment (e.g. shading) suitable for species typically found - in a mature community. To initialize the proposed riparian community, the restoration area will be planted with a mix of pioneer and climax species that have been selected and arranged to • meet the following objectives: • ¦ Establish mix of shade-intolerant canopy and shade-tolerant understory species • ¦ Provide vegetative source of dominant species • ¦ Establish local seed sources for those species less likely to migrate into the restoration • area • ¦ Stabilize disturbed or high stress areas 27 ? M ? Kimley-Horn M and Associates, Inc. DRAFT Restoration Plan Rockwell Pastures Site Stanly County, North Carolina Two planting zones have been developed considering site hydrology, soils, and disturbance regimes and are referenced to natural communities. Each zone has a unique environment that dictates species selection and community structure. A planting list has been developed for each zone to match the vegetation in the reference community and meet the objectives given above. The planting list only includes species that are readily available and have a reasonable expectation of survival. For a given zone and species, a plant source and planting type are recommended. Then, a planting schedule is developed so that site preparation and plant installation occur at the optimal time and season. After installation, the planting will be verified. Finally, a maintenance plan is developed to promote long-term success of the planting. The planting plan components are described below in more detail. 7.7.2 Planting Zones The planting plan includes five zones of distinct vegetative composition and structure. ¦ Zone 1 - Stream Bank 2.37 acres ¦ Zone 2 - Riparian/Bankfull Areas 41.74 acres • Zone 3 - Bottomland Hardwoods 4.24 acres ¦ Zone 4 - Oxbow Wetland 0.61 acres The zones are mapped on the Restoration Plan and are described below. Zone 1- Stream Bank The stream bank zone includes the stream bank from base flow to bankfull. The zone features the steepest slopes (3 to 8%) of the zones and highest saturation levels. This environment dictates the planting of fast-growing, obligate pioneer species to provide stability to areas at or below bankfull. Zone 2 - Riparian/Bankfull Areas The riparian/bankfull areas zone encompasses the area from Zone 1 to the edge of the easement, Zone 2 is an area exposed to regular stream flows and frequent soil deposition. The most stressed areas are located on the outside bends of meanders. The banks will be planted with fast-growing, deep-rooted species that will provide biostabilization and shading to the stream. Zone 3 -Bottomland Hardwood The bottomland hardwood zone covers planting zones in the areas where the inundation or saturation occurs for a long enough period of time during the growing season to select species more adapted to hydric conditions. 28 ? ?

These areas will have standing water for extended periods and will be planted with a herbaceous wetland seed mix. 7.7.3 Plant List The plant list (see Restoration Table V) is based on the target community, reference community, and recommendations from the North Carolina Stream Restoration Institute (Hall 2001) and the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (Smith 2004). The selection of species also depends on availability from local nursery sources. 7.7.4 Plant Sources The planting plan preferentially selects local genetic stock and uses three sources of plants. Two sources - nursery stock and on-site transplants - will be tied directly to the initial planting and will be used in numbers that will meet permit guidelines. The remaining source - recruitment - is factored into the selection of species on the plant list, as the plant list includes a significant portion of species not likely to become established from natural propagation. Nursery Stock The planting plan may include any of the following nursery stock forms of woody species: bare roots, containerized seedlings, and ball and burlap. Additionally, the plan may use sod or seeds from commercial sources. The planting plan prescribes that nursery stock be grown under environmental conditions similar to the target environment. The planting list includes alternates in case specific species of pre-ordered plants are not available or acceptable for installation. On-Site Transplants Several favorable species grow within the existing site. In the course of constructing a new channel alignment, some individual plants may need to be removed. The individuals of a target species that are of an appropriate size and age may be transplanted into the restoration area. Recruitment It is expected that the restoration sites will be populated with species from adjacent communities. The sites will be maintained to keep the number of unwanted species at less than 10% of the total population. 29 ? M ?

The final vegetation planting will occur after - proper site preparation (described below) and during the appropriate season. - Plantings may be staggered based on surrounding activities. Live stake planting on stream banks (Zone 1) will closely follow after channel construction to provide immediate stabilization. • On-site transplants will be planted immediately after they are removed from their existing • habitat. Planting of Zones 2-4 will occur from late winter to early spring, after construction, to minimize or eliminate threats from the construction, exotic vegetation treatment, and/or - unpredictable weather. • 7.7.6 Stabilization • Immediately after construction, the stream banks and all disturbed areas will be seeded with permanent and temporary seed mixes. If the season is appropriate, permanent seeding will be completed in conjunction with construction, and temporary seeding will be applied according to Land Quality Section requirements. Within the stream channel (Zone 1), pioneer species that provide immediate bank stabilization will be planted. Live stakes and bare roots will be planted • around structure installations and the outsides of meander bends to provide an area of high- density root mass. Coir fiber matting and live stakes will be used along the entire reach of the • restored channels to provide stabilization until vegetation can be established. 7.7.7 Site Preparation • Prior to planting the riparian buffer, efforts will be made to eradicate fescue and invasive plants • such as multiflora rose, Chinese privet, and Japanese honeysuckle.

It is expected that there will be some changes - in the designed cross sections, profile, and/or substrate composition. Changes that may occur during the monitoring period will be evaluated to determine whether they represent a trend toward a less stable condition (e.g., down cutting, erosion, etc.) or are simply an increase in stability (e.g., settling, vegetative changes, coarsening of bed material, etc.). • An initial, though not exclusive, indicator of success will be the stream's adherence to design or reference ratios of stream geometry found in the morphological tables (Restoration Table IV) or in • comparable stable reference systems. The channel may not adhere to design or reference ratios of stream geometry, but can be considered stable if the following key indicators are present: ¦ Stream Type: Maintenance of the design stream type or progression toward or conversion to a • stable stream type such as B, C, or E will indicate stability. ¦ Bank Height Ratio: Bank height ratio between 1.0 and 1.2 will indicate that flood flows have • access to the active floodplain and that higher flows do not apply excessive stresses to stream - banks. Determination of true bankfull may be difficult until the stream has had adequate flooding events to create strong bankfull indicators. A minimum of two bankfull events is required during the 5-year monitoring period. If two bankfull events do not occur the monitoring period may be extended at • the discretion of the Corps of Engineers. • If a large storm event occurs before the woody vegetation has been established, isolated bank - erosion may occur in sections where the flood-prone area has been restricted by topography. Areas of bank erosion will be repaired as necessary. The middle section of UT4 and the upper section that are currently impounded will receive a non- typical stream restoration treatment described in Section 7.0. In these cases the stream cross sections, profile and pattern will not necessarily be constructed to the typical cross section, profile • and pattern measurements provided in the morphological measurements table and typical plans.

Success criteria is summarized in the following sections. • 8.2.1 Hydrology • Success of the restoration of wetland hydrology will be measured by improvements to the . frequency and duration of saturated soils compared to the reference wetland. Successful wetland hydrology is defined as the saturation of soils for a period equal to or greater than 85% • of the period measured in the reference wetland. The minimum requirement for the restoration • wetland hydrology will be the USACE guidelines (United States Army Corps of Engineers, • 1987) including saturation of the upper surface of the soils for 7% of the growing season. The • hydroperiod of the reference wetland will be measured using groundwater gauges. • 8.2.2 Vegetation • The prevalent vegetation should consist of macrophytes that typically are adapted for life in • saturated soil conditions. These species should have the ability to grow, compete, reproduce, • and persist in anaerobic soil conditions. For the restoration areas, study plots showing that the composition and density of vegetation in the restoration areas that compare to the reference • areas will indicate restoration success for vegetation. • • 8.2.3 Soil A primary measure of the enhancement and restoration of wetland soils will be the establishment of hydric character as defined by USACE guidelines (United States Army Corps • of Engineers 1987). Soil enhancement and restoration also may be inferred based on • successful enhancement and restoration of wetland hydrology and vegetation. • • 8.3 Vegetation Success Criteria The success of riparian and vegetation planting will be gauged by stem counts of planted species. • Stem counts of more than 320 trees per acres after three years, and 260 trees per acre after five years will be considered successful.

January 22, 2008 Mr. Donnie Brew Environmental Protection Specialist Federal Highway Administration 310 New Bern Avenue, Suite 410 Raleigh, North Carolina 27601 Re: Rockwell Pastures Stream and Wetland Restoration Site Full Delivery Project Stanly County, North Carolina Dear Mr. Brew: This letter serves to transmit a Categorical Exclusion Form for Ecosystem Enhancement Program Projects to your agency for the Rockwell Pastures Stream and Wetland Restoration Full Delivery Project for your review and approval. The Rockwell Pastures Stream and Wetland Restoration Site (Rockwell Pastures) is located in Stanly County, approximately 6 miles southeast of Albemarle, North Carolina (Figure 1). The project proposes restorative work on seven unstable Unnamed Tributaries (UTI, UT2, UT3, UT4, UT5, UT6, and UT7) to David's Creek/Lake Tillery. These streams are highly degraded and unstable due to the channelization and straightening of the channels in the past as well as the ongoing agricultural and livestock operations. The proposed project also includes restorative work on a non-riparian wetland area (W1) which is currently in active agriculture and has been drained by ditches and crowning. The purpose of this project is to restore the site back to a naturally functioning stream and wetland system. Due to the size of the site and its position in the landscape, the proposed project creates an opportunity to restore virtually an entire watershed through restoration of the riparian areas and wetlands. Benefits will include improved water quality by reducing sediment load through stabilization and by reducing nutrient and other pollutant input by the addition of forested riparian buffers planted with native species. Improvements to the ecosystem include the addition of in-stream habitat by the use of stream structures and bank revetments such as root wads. The project will include the restoration of dimension, pattern, and profile to approximately 10,757 linear feet of existing stream channel and the enhancement of approximately 6,426 linear feet of existing stream channel.

N/A 9 Version 1.4, 8/18/05 Memorandum To: Donnie Brew Federal Highway Administration From: Laura Thornbrough Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. Date: January 22, 2008 Subject: Threatened and Endangered Species Rockwell Pastures Stream and Wetland Restoration Site Stanly County, NC This memo is intended to document the absence/presence of threatened and endangered species or suitable habitat at the Rockwell Pastures Stream and Wetland Restoration Site. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) database (updated January 16, 2008) lists one federally endangered species for Stanly County, NC: Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii). Yadkin River goldenrod (Solidago plumosa) and Georgia aster (Symphyotrichum georgianum) are identified as candidate species; however these species do not receive federal protection. The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. Review of the Natural Heritage Program (NHP) database of documented occurrences did not reveal the presence of any of these species within a one-mile radius of the proposed mitigation site. A project scoping letter was sent to Ms. Marella Buncick of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife - Service (December 10, 2007) requesting any information or comments that the USFWS may have with regards to this stream and wetland restoration project. Ms. Buncick has not responded with any comments. Therefore, it is not anticipated that this project will have any negative affect on suitable habitat for the threatened and endangered species - listed for Stanly County, NC. Schweinitz's Sunflower (Helianthus schweinit .it) Schweinitz's sunflower is a perennial herb, usually 3 to 6 feet tall with yellow flowers - which occur in late August to October. Schweinitz's sunflower is found in relatively open habitats such as roadsides, maintained rights-of-way, early successional fields, and woodland openings. Generally, Schweinitz's sunflower occurs on shallow, poorly drained, clayey and/or rocky soils. Marginal habitat for Schweinitz's sunflower exists along the agricultural field edges at the Rockwell Pastures property; however the frequent disturbance of the site makes these areas unfavorable. The majority of this site is used as open active agricultural fields, void of any native vegetation. Site soils are predominantly deep and moderately to well- drained. No occurrences of Schweinitz's sunflower have been documented in the NHP database within a one-mile radius of the proposed mitigation site and presence of this species has not been observed by KHA or EBX biologists during site investigations conducted during - Schweinitz's sunflower flowering season. BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT. Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) The bald eagle is a large raptor which typically inhabits the shorelines of large rivers, . lakes, and ponds. Bald eagles construct nests in large trees near the shoreline and make • use of the large water bodies for foraging. Suitable habitat for bald eagle does not exist within the proposed mitigation areas, as • there are no large bodies of water on or near the proposed project property. No occurrences of bald eagle have been documented in the NHP database within a one-mile radius of the proposed mitigation site and presence of this species or of suitable habitat for this species has not been observed by EBX or KHA biologists during site - investigations. BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT. Yadkin River Goldenrod (Solidaro plumosa) Yadkin River goldenrod is a perennial herb, endemic to the Yadkin River in North - Carolina. Currently, plants are known to exist in only two locations, within 2 kilometers • of each other, along the shoreline of the Yadkin River. This species is listed as a Candidate species by the USFWS. Habitat for Yadkin River goldenrod does not exist on the Rockwell Pastures property due - to the lack of flood scouring, the establishment and spread of invasive species, and the clearing of native vegetation for agricultural purposes. The majority of this site is used as open active agricultural fields, void of any native vegetation. • No occurrences of Yadkin River goldenrod have been documented in the NHP database within a one-mile radius of the proposed mitigation site and presence of this species has not been observed by KHA or EBX biologists during site investigations. - BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT. - Georgia Aster (Symphyotrichum worrianum) • Georgia aster is a perennial herb, distinguished by its large flower heads with dark purple rays up to 2 cm long. Disc flowers are white with purplish tips on the corollas. Blooms first appear in early October and continue into mid-November. Georgia aster is found in 2 dry open woods, roadsides, maintained rights-of-way, and woodland openings in dry oak- pine flatwoods and uplands in the piedmont region of the state. This species is most likely a relic species of the post oak-savanna communities that existed prior to fire suppression. Georgia aster is listed as a Candidate species by the USFWS. Marginal habitat for Georgia aster exists along the agricultural field edges at the Rockwell Pastures property where the frequent disturbances of the site mimic natural disturbances; however the majority of this site is used as open active agricultural fields, void of any native vegetation. No occurrences of Georgia aster have been documented in the NHP database within a one-mile radius of the proposed mitigation site and presence of this species has not been observed by KHA or EBX biologists during site investigations. The USFWS lists the record status for Georgia aster as "historic", meaning the species was last observed in Stanly County more than 50 years ago. BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT. 3 L7=FJ KimleyNom and Associates, Inc.

Box 33068 Raleigh, NC 27636-3068 Subject: Rockwell Pastures Stream and Wetland Restoration Site, Stanly County, North Carolina. Dear Ms. Thornbrough: Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission have reviewed the subject document. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S. C. 661-667d) and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-1:31 et seq.), The proposed project includes restoration of dimension, pattern and profile to approximately 10,757 linear feet of stream channel and enhancement of approximately 6,426 linear feet of stream channel on seven unnamed tributaries to David's Creek/Lake Tillery in the Yadkin-Pee Dee River basin. Stream banks will be stabilized using erosion matting, bare-root plantings, and bioengineering structures. The streams are highly degraded and unstable due to channelization, straightening, and ongoing agricultural and livestock operations. Also, restoration of 1.5 acres of non-riparian wetlands is proposed. Stream and wetland restoration projects often improve water quality and aquatic habitat. We recommend establishing native, forested buffers in riparian areas to improve terrestrial habitat and provide a travel corridor for wildlife species. Provided natural channel design methods are used and measures are taken to minimize erosion and sedimentation from construction/restoration activities, we do not anticipate the project to result in significant adverse impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources. Thank you for the opportunity to review this project. If you require further assistance, please contact our office at (336) 449-7625. Sincerely, Shari L.

The Rockwell Pastures Stream and Wetland Restoration Site (Rockwell Pastures) is located in Stanly County, approximately 6 miles southeast of Albemarle, North Carolina (Figure 1).. The project proposes restorative work on seven unstable Unnamed Tributaries (UTI, UT2, UT3, UT4, UT5, UT6, and UT7) to David's Creek/Lake Tillery, These streams are highly degraded and unstable due to the channelization and straightening of the channels in the past as well as the ongoing agricultural and livestock operations The proposed project also includes restorative work on a non-riparian wetland area (WI) which is c11r7ently in active agriculture and has been drained by ditches and crowning.. The purpose of this project is to restore the site back to a naturally functioning stream and wetland system. Due to the size of the site and its position in the landscape, the proposed project creates an opportunity to restore virtually an entire watershed through restoration of the riparian areas and wetlands.. Benefits will include improved water quality by reducing sediment load through stabilization and by reducing nutrient and other pollutant input by the addition of forested riparian buffer's planted with native species. Improvements to the ecosystem include the addition of in-stream habitat by the use of stream structures and bank revetments such as root wads.

PO Box 33068 Raleigh, NC 27636-3068 • Re: Soil Analysis and Evaluation for the Rockwell Wetland and Stream Restoration Mitigation Project Site EEP Proposal Dear Mr. St. John, The following is a description of the data set included with this correspondence related to the Stanly County (Rockwell) Wetland Restoration Site: Soils Descriptions On March 9th, 2007, SWE Group personnel investigated the Rockwell Stream and - Wetland EEP Mitigation Project Site to confirm NRCS soil survey mapping data, record - detailed soil descriptions for selected areas representing different landscape positions across the site, and to determine the extent of hydric soils for the purpose of wetland restoration site criteria. A series of hand augerings were accomplished across selected - areas of the proposed wetland restoration site at maximum depths of approximately 18-24 - in. Detailed soil descriptions including depth of horizon, color, texture, structure, and consistence were recorded and a sketch of the area was created entitled Rockwell Site (enclosed). • The site specific soil descriptions included in this report are most similar to Chewacla loam and Oakboro silt loam type series soils as described by the Stanly County Soil Survey (NRCS, unpublished) with some variations in texture, color, and redoximorphic • features. However, some descriptions are most similar to Wehadkee loam series soil - described in other county surveys. These soils are somewhat poorly drained and frequently flooded from riverine systems and toeslope drainage. Subsoil consists of loamy and silty clay textured soils. These soils are found on nearly level flood plains along creeks and drainageways. Permeability is moderate for these soil series. The . subsoil is characterized by a clay or silty clay that restricts water movement between 3 and 33 inches below the soil surface. Seasonally high water tables are found below the soil surface between .5 and 1.5 feet for the Chewacla and Wehadkee and 1 to 2 feet for the Oakboro series soil. Overall, the areas investigated have hydric soil characteristics and hydric soils that are suitable for wetland restoration. Strong redoximorphic features are present indicating seasonally high water tables and frequent inundation from toeslope subsurface drainage and surface runoff from field ditches. These features include relic and present oxidized root channels, depleted matrices, and chroma 2 colors in the upper soil profile. Currently the fields investigated are in row crops (corn and soybeans) and have hydric vegetation volunteering among other herbaceaous vegetation. In addition, wrack lines were observed from recent overland surface runoff. For areas where relic redoximorphic features occur greater than 12 in. due to site disturbance from farming, minor grading of less than or equal to 6 in. (USACE Guidance) in these areas would most likely result in a change to more hydric conditions and an elevated water table similar to adjacent soil areas. From observations, these areas in question most likely were crowned to maximize row crop acreage, resulting in a cap of soil to increase runoff and drainage. Let me know if you have any questions concerning the enclosed soil data and discussion. We look forward to continuing to work with you on this project. Sincerely, Scott J.
