Per permit requirements, NCDOT was required to monitor the stream mitigation site for channel stability by visual observation on a quarterly basis for one year or until success criteria were met. During the monitoring period, quarterly monitoring reports were submitted to the appropriate regulatory agencies via the PDEA Natural Environment Unit's (NEU) website: http //wwu ncdot orQ/doh/preconsh uct/pe/neu/Monitoring/MonitorinQReports,html On March 1, 2011 an onsite meeting was held with the resource agencies.
