Mr. Tim Baumgartner
North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services
1652 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1652
Dear Mr. Baumgartner:
The purpose of this letter is to provide the North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services
(NCDMS) with all comments generated by the North Carolina Interagency Review Team
(NCIRT) during the 30-day comment period for the Honey Mill Draft Mitigation Plan, which closed
on August 22, 2020. These comments are attached for your review.
Based on our review of these comments, we have determined that no major concerns
have been identified with the Draft Mitigation Plan, which is considered approved with this
correspondence. However, several minor issues were identified, as described in the attached
comment memo, which must be addressed in the Final Mitigation Plan.
The Final Mitigation Plan is to be submitted with the Preconstruction Notification (PCN)
Application for Nationwide permit approval of the project along with a copy of this letter. Issues
identified above must be addressed in the Final Mitigation Plan. All changes made to the Final
Mitigation Plan should be summarized in an errata sheet included at the beginning of the
document. If it is determined that the project does not require a Department of the Army permit,
you must still provide a copy of the Final Mitigation Plan, along with a copy of this letter, to the
appropriate USACE field office at least 30 days in advance of beginning construction of the
project. Please note that this approval does not preclude the inclusion of permit conditions in
the permit authorization for the project, particularly if issues mentioned above are not
satisfactorily addressed. Additionally, this letter provides initial approval for the Mitigation Plan,
but this does not guarantee that the project will generate the requested amount of mitigation
credit. As you are aware, unforeseen issues may arise during construction or monitoring of the
project that may require maintenance or reconstruction that may lead to reduced credit.

Dear Ms. Browning:
Thank you for your September 15, 2020 comment letter for the Honey Mill Mitigation Site draft
mitigation report and plans. We have made the necessary revisions to the draft documents and we are
submitting revised versions of the documents along with this letter. Below we provide your comments
followed by our responses in bold italics.
WRC Comments, Andrea Leslie
1) As noted previously in an early review letter provided directly to the applicant, wild trout
reproduction should not be impacted by this project, and a trout moratorium is not needed.
a) Noted – thank you.
2) Sambucus nigra is a European species of elderberry, but sometimes the native elderberry is included
in this group. Ensure that they are using the native elderberry (Sambucus canadensis).
a) This error has been fixed. The native elderberry (Sambucus cavadensis) now replaces the
European elderberry in the planting table.
3) Sweetbay magnolia is primarily a coastal plain species. Although it might be found in rare seepage
wetlands in this part of the state, it would not occur as a native species on typical stream banks.
a) Sweetbay magnolia (Magnolia virginiana) has been removed from the planting list.
4) Lindera melissifolia is a federally listed species of boggy coastal plain sites. Do they mean Lindera
benzoin, which would be a fine understory planting?
a) This error has been fixed. Spicebush (Lindera benzoin) is now listed in the planting table.
5) River birch is not often found on small streams – it’s typically associated with large rivers. Unless it is
found on site already, we recommend eliminating it and replacing it with something else.
Honey Mill Mitigation Site, Surry County Page 2 of 9
October 5, 2020 IRT Comment Response
a) River birch (Betula nigra) has been removed from the planting list. Wildlands has made this
change due to the site being on the edge of its native range in NC rather than it’s association
with larger streams. Matthews (2011) supports that river birch is frequently associated with
small stream and narrow floodplains in addition to palustrine areas.
6) Acer negundo is also typically associated with larger streams, as well.
a) While boxelder (Acer negundo) is commonly associated with larger streams and natural levee
forests, it is also found in floodplains and palustrine areas of smaller streams (LeGrand et al.,
2020; Matthews, 2011; Schafale & Weakley, 1990). Wildlands argues that boxelder is an
appropriate planted species for this site at the proposed planting rate since it is documented
to inhabit floodplains of smaller streams as documented by LeGrand et al. (2020) and
Matthews (2011). Furthermore, boxelder grows quickly in open areas and serves as a valuable
‘nurse tree’ providing more favorable growing conditions for slower grower tree species (i.e.
oaks) that establish better in partially shaded environments.
7) Eliminate silver maple from the planting list –it is very limited in North Carolina, and it wouldn’t be
found on small streams.
a) Silver maple (Acer saccharinum) has been removed from the planting list.
8) Cut down on the % of sycamore planted (20% of stems).
a) Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) has been reduced to 15% of stems in the riparian planting
zone.
9) It appears that ‘riparian planting’ areas will not include understory species. The ‘shaded
supplemental planting’ list has a nice diversity of subcanopy and shrub layers – we recommend
bringing some of these species into the ‘riparian planting’ areas. Could they include other species
already found on site in the riparian planting list?
a) American strawberry bush (Euonymus americanus), red mulberry (Morus rubra) and witch
hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) have been added to the riparian planting zone list. Additionally,
paw paw (Asimina triloba) and sourwood (Oxydendrum arboreum) will also occupy the
subcanopy layer in this planting zone.
WRC Comments, Travis Wilson
10) The draft plan does not include a detail of the stream crossings. It states the crossings are all
existing utility, ford, or culvert crossing but then mentions the culverts will be buried. Therefore, I
am assuming the crossing locations are existing but the structures will be reset to the restored
profile. If that is the case a detail showing the ford crossing and the culvert crossing should be
included.
a) A culvert crossing detail and a ford crossing detail are now provided. Please see detail
1/6.10 and 2/6.10 in the plans.

EPA Comments, Todd Bowers
11) I wish to convey that I while I understand that Surry County is considered “mountain” for the
purposes of generating mitigation credit, this site does not seem to meet the qualification of a
“mountain stream” but rather a “piedmont stream”. I have several reasons for this consideration.
a) The site elevation ranges within the current proposed conservation easement between
approximately 980- and 1,050-feet above sea level. According the NC Wildlife Resources
Commission, “the piedmont physiographic ecoregion elevations range from about 1,500 feet in
the foothills to about 200 feet at the fall line.” This site would be located in the piedmont from
that perspective.
b) According to the sponsor and the draft mitigation plan, “the Site is located in the Tugaloo
terrane of the Piedmont physiographic province (NCGS, 2018). The Piedmont Province is
characterized by rolling, well rounded hills and long low ridges, with elevations ranging from
300 to 1500 feet above sea level.”
c) Cool water streams, while more common in the mountains of North Carolina, do exist widely in
the NC piedmont.
d) Many of the reference sites used to guide restoration of the site streams are located in the
piedmont ecoregion. According to the sponsor, “due to the variety of slopes and project stream
types present on the Site, the distribution of reference reaches is wide, throughout North
Carolina’s foothills and western Piedmont.”
e) The NC SAM zone used to evaluate the streams within the project boundaries is listed as
“Piedmont”.
f) According to Section 7.3.5 (Page 15-16), Wildlands developed a regional flood frequency
analysis tool that tailored the USGS 2009 publication “Magnitude and Frequency of Rural
Floods in the Southeastern United States, through 2006” to the Piedmont of North Carolina and
used several gages located in the Piedmont to develop flood frequency intervals for the project
streams.
i) Wildlands acknowledges your above considerations.
12) Since the site appears to have more piedmont than mountain characteristics, I highly recommend
that the sponsor reconsider the minimum buffer widths and conservation easement boundaries of
this project. The draft mitigation plan lists several instances where discreet constructed BMPs are
needed to offset drainage and polluted runoff from the surrounding landscape. The land
surrounding the site will continue to be used for livestock grazing following the establishment of
the conservation easement and completed fencing. The primary stressor on water quality for the
project streams will continue to be runoff from livestock excrement and the best BMP to counter
this stress is wider vegetated stream buffers. The sponsor even states on page 23 that additional
floodplain vegetation would lower the risk to the site from agricultural runoff. Therefore, I
recommend that the site incorporate 50-foot minimum riparian buffer widths. This will have the
added effect of protecting the stream floodplains and the pockets of wetlands contained within.
a) While Wildlands agrees that wider buffers always offer greater protection, we have provided
the required buffer widths as outlined in the governing rules and regulations (Wilmington
District 2003 Stream Mitigation Guidelines and the October 24, 2016 Stream and Wetland
Compensatory Mitigation Update). Our option agreements were set for 30-foot buffers
based on this guidance during the proposal stage of the project. The easements for the site
Honey Mill Mitigation Site, Surry County Page 4 of 9
October 5, 2020 IRT Comment Response
are recorded with the 30-foot buffers presented in the plans.
13) I recommend that the vegetation height requirement for satisfactory performance of vegetative
vigor be increased from 8 to 10 feet at the conclusion of the 7- year monitoring period. The
elevation of the project is not sufficiently high enough to warrant the use of the lower standard
used for mountain streams.
a) Wildlands has set the vegetation height standards per requirements set forth in Section V.B.2
in the NC IRT October 24, 2016 Stream and Wetland Compensatory Mitigation Update – no
change has been made.
14) With the recommended wider buffers, I also recommend a corresponding increase in the number
of vegetation plots to monitor the vigor of planted trees.
a) The number of vegetation plots presented corresponds to the required buffer width recorded
and presented in the plan – no change has been made.
15) The planting plan for the site appears adequate and appropriate for both canopy and subcanopy
species. Recommend listing the species that will be considered for the final height requirement
performance standard as some will not likely meet the 10-foot requirement at the end of the
proposed monitoring period; namely those considered for shaded supplemental planting. I also
recommend that any significant deviations from the planting plan are approved by the IRT before
purchase and planting.
a) Species that will not be considered for the final height requirement are indicated in the tables
by an asterisk. They include red mulberry (Morus rubra), sourwood (Oxydendrum arborea),
paw paw (Asimina triloba), witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana), American strawberry bush
(Euonymus americanus), ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana), sweetshrub (Calycanthus floridus),
spicebush (Lindera benzoin), flowering dogwood (Cornus florida), and American holly (Ilex
opaca).
USACE Comments, Kim Browning
16) Figure 9: the veg plot on Venable Creek R2 should be relocated to the confluence of R3 and
UT2, to include the existing wetland.
a) The vegetation plot was relocated to the wetland at the confluence of Venable Creek
Reach 3 and UT2.
17) Design sheets general note: Please ensure that when measuring the centerline of the channel for
crediting purposes that only one channel is measured at a confluence. An example is on Sheet 2.36
where it appears that both channels are measured. Additionally, please ensure that the centerline
is used for crediting determination, not the thalweg. This is unclear on sheets 2.1 and 2.5.
a) Station callouts and crediting were adjusted at the tributary confluences, and centerline
adjustments were made on Venable Creek Reach 1, 2, and 4.
18) Field notes indicate that the confluence of UT2 and UT2A is a wetland complex and would be best
suited as a wetland. This plan proposes single-thread restoration in this area. Please note the
concern of the IRT for this area to demonstrate wetland like characteristics and be willing to
document a single-thread channel throughout the monitoring period.
Honey Mill Mitigation Site, Surry County Page 5 of 9
October 5, 2020 IRT Comment Response
b) Visual documentation of a single-thread channel on UT2 Reach 2 through the wetland
complex throughout the monitoring period has been added to the monitoring criteria. See
Section 8.1.2 of the revised mitigation plan.
19) Page 6 discusses UT2B; I’m unclear where this is on the Figures. (Perhaps it’s the small
unlabeled line outside the easement?)
a) UT2B was added to the figures. UT2B is located just upstream of the Venable Creek
Reach 3 and Reach 4 break.
20) Section 7.2.4: It would be interesting to note the approximate number of mature trees that are
left on-site in areas where restoration will occur and note the survival rate of these existing trees
through the monitoring period. On the Agony Acres site, we noticed that a large number of
mature trees that were left in the buffer were actually damaged during construction and began
to die between MY4 and MY5. This is just an observation and the data would be interesting to
see, not just on this site.
a) Wildlands has added two monitoring photo points to visually assess representative mature
tree save areas. The location of these photo points will be established post-construction.
Please reference Table 16, note 8, in the mitigation plan.
21) Section 7.1: It would be beneficial to discuss the potential for utility line maintenance, and the
road culverts to be replaced/widened on Siloam Rd (UT1) and Little Mountain Church Rd
(Venable Creek R1). It appears that the conservation easement is at least 50 ft from the road
right-of-way, which is appreciated.
a) This discussion is now included in Section 7.10, Project Risks and Uncertainties.
22) Section 7.9: There is some concern regarding the fact that the landowner is responsible for
installing the livestock watering facilities in relation to the fact that at least one of the crossings is
a ford crossing. Please confirm that these crossings will not be used for livestock access for
drinking if the landowner fails to install the watering tanks.
a) The ford crossing is in an internal easement break and will be fenced, gated, and only used
for coordinated crossing events. The conservation easement language requires the
landowner to restrict livestock access in the conservation easement. Table 14 outlines that
livestock will only access the ford during coordinated crossing events.
DWR Comments, Erin Davis
23) Page 4, Section 3.2 – DWR appreciates that Surry County planning documents were reviewed for
this plan.
a) Noted – thank you.
24) Page 6, Section 3.4 – Is the location of UT2B mapped on any of the plan figures? If not, can the
approximate location please be called out on Figure 2 (within and/or outside of the easement).
a) UT2B was added to the figures. UT2B is located just upstream of the Venable Creek Reach 3
and Reach 4 break.
25) Page 9, Section 4.1 – There are five BMPs shown on Figure 9, but only four points of inputs are
mentioned in the text. Please clarify.
Honey Mill Mitigation Site, Surry County Page 6 of 9
October 5, 2020 IRT Comment Response
b) This section now references five potential agricultural input areas. Please refer to Section 7.7
for discussion on the BMPs.
26) Page 10, Section 4.5 – There are two areas of Wetland C that aren’t captured within the
conservation easement. Was protection of these resource areas discussed during site planning?
a) Wetland C is heavily accessed by cattle currently. The portion of the wetland not within the
conservation easement is an area required by the landowner to access the culvert crossing on
UT2. The local topography prohibited another approach to this crossing. Wildlands has
accounted for the impact to this wetland in the PCN.
27) Page 11, Section 5.3 – DWR requests a groundwater gauge be installed in existing Wetland K where
hydrology may be impacted by proposed stream relocation in order to demonstrate no significant
functional loss of the resource.
a) The existing onsite wetlands are not proposed for mitigation credit; therefore, no
groundwater gauges are proposed.
28) Page 13, Section 7.1 – This section notes that wetland hydrology was assessed with groundwater
gages. I suspect this is a carryover, but if gage data is available please include it in the final
mitigation plan.
a) Wetland hydrology was not assessed with gauges since wetlands are not proposed for
mitigation credit. The erroneous reference has been removed from Section 7.1.
29) Page 21, Section 7.6 – DWR appreciates that an effort was made to capture the tributary origins
within the conservation easement. Please confirm whether the UT2 stream origin is included
(Sheet 2.12), and if it’s not please explain why not (e.g. UT2A ends at property line).
a) UT2’s intermittent origin is within the conservation easement.
30) Page 22, Section 7.8 – Please include at least one target community for the proposed planting plan.
DWR would like to see a mix of early successional native species and appropriate climax species
based on the designated target community.
a) This information is now included in Section 7.8.
31) Page 26, Table 15 – There are differences in the goals and objectives compared to Table 6. Please
review.
a) Goals and objectives from Tables 6 and 15 now match.
32) Page 29, Section 10 – DWR recommends an annual inspection of the site.
a) This language comes from the most recent DMS mitigation plan template (June 2017). DMS
let us know this language was reviewed by the IRT and DEQ Stewardship prior to the issuance
of the mitigation plan template and guidance. DMS has requested that the approved
language remain in the mitigation plan as provided. Per DEQ Stewardship, DMS mitigation
sites accepted by the DEQ Stewardship program will be inspected every one to three
(maximum) years. Language in Table 18 has been updated to reflect the one to three year
inspection frequency.
33) Page 30, Section 11 – Please confirm whether Wildlands or DMS would notify the NCIRT of site
issues.
a) The section now states that Wildlands and DMS will coordinate with the IRT if remedial
actions are necessary.
Honey Mill Mitigation Site, Surry County Page 7 of 9
October 5, 2020 IRT Comment Response
34) Page 30, Section 12 – The memo referenced for the credit ratios includes a summary table in which
management objectives for UT2R1, UT2A, UT3R1, UT4, UT5, and UT6R1 specifies “spot repair
erosion and incision”. However, only design sheets for UT4 show any stream work. Please explain
why spot erosion and incision areas identified during the proposal stage were not addressed in the
design stage.
a) The proposal approaches were field walked with the IRT, who noted less impacts than
observed by Wildlands field scientists during proposal development. The IRT reduced
crediting ratios on these streams to reflect the reduced approaches. Please refer to the IRT
meeting minutes and mapping in Appendix 6.
35) Figure 9 – DWR requests the veg plot along Venable Creek Reach 2 be shifted downstream to near
the next set of cross sections along Reach 3.
a) The vegetation plot was shifted to incorporate the wetland at the confluence of Venable
Creek Reach 3 and UT2.
36) Appendix 3 – Was NCWAM completed for the existing wetlands onsite? If so, please include the
corresponding forms. Also, two of the NCSAM rating sheets did not include an overall rating score,
please QAQC.
a) NCWAM forms were not completed since the existing wetlands are not proposed for
mitigation credit. NCSAM forms for Venable Creek 3, UT3 Reach 2, and UT4 have been
updated.
37) Sheet 0.3 – Please include roadway right-of-way boundary lines.
a) The parcel boundary lines indicate the 60’ right-of-way on Siloam Road and the 50’ right-of-
way on Venable Farm Road. No additional lines were added.
38) Sheet 2.1 – Are there any existing utility poles located within the internal crossing?
a) There are no utility poles within the internal crossing.
39) Sheet 2.2 – Will the existing farm road be relocated just outside of the easement? Are impacts to
Wetland B expected/accounted for?
a) The existing farm road will be relocated outside of the easement. All wetland impacts are
accounted for in the PCN.
40) Sheet 2.2 – The BMP detail (Sheet 6.9) includes an outlet channel, please show the approximate
location of this outlet channel on the plan view sheets (Sheets 2.2, 2.7 and 2.34).
a) This information has been added.
41) Sheet 2.12 – The Enhancement II Treatment Note #4 is confusing to see on sheets that do not show
any grading (Sheets 2.12-2.15, 2.18-2.22, 2.24-2.26 and 2.32). If spot grading is proposed, please
show on the sheets.
a) The Enhancement II treatment notes were revised for each plan sheet and areas receiving
spot grading are indicated on the plans.
42) Sheet 2.12 & 2.32 – Figure 2 indicates headcuts in the upper sections of UT2 and UT5. No stream
work is proposed for these reaches. Is further instability of these headcuts a concern? Monitoring
photo points may be helpful at these locations.
Honey Mill Mitigation Site, Surry County Page 8 of 9
October 5, 2020 IRT Comment Response
b) The proposal approaches were field walked with the IRT, who noted less impacts than
observed by Wildlands field scientists during proposal development. The IRT reduced
crediting ratios on these streams to reflect the reduced approaches. Please refer to the IRT
meeting minutes and mapping in Appendix 6. Photo points will be added to monitor the
areas of concern on UT2 and UT5.
43) Sheet 2.16 – Please include a typical detail for the proposed culvert crossing.
a) This detail is now included. Please see detail 2/6.10.
44) Sheet 2.3 – DWR recommends that bench width be at least 1.5 times bankfull width. Particularly of
concern are the bench widths on the outer meander bends where much of the flow energy vectors
are directed.
a) Brush toe will be installed along the outer meander bend to add stability to the streambanks
and help prevent meander migration.
45) Sheet 2.4 – UT2 and UT3 are designed to tie in to Venable Creek at meander bends rather than riffle
straights. Are there any long-term stability concerns for these meander areas?
a) The elevation at the downstream extent of both streams match the downstream head of
riffle elevation on Venable Creek, and these bends are protected with brush toe, which will
prevent meander migration. Wildlands does not have long term stability concerns for these
ties.
46) Sheet 2.8 – A ford crossing detail was not provided. With the existing bedrock I understand that the
streambed doesn’t require reinforcement, but are the side slopes/access path areas stable? Is any
grading proposed? Will any riprap be placed along the banks?
a) This detail is now included. Please see detail 1/6.10.
47) Sheet 3.1 –
a) DWR questions whether sweetbay magnolia is an appropriate species for site based on the
species geographic range
i) Sweetbay magnolia (Magnolia virginiana) has been removed from the planting list.
b) It would be helpful for our review to have the wetland indicator status included in the tables.
i) The wetland indicator status has been added for each species.
c) DWR understands that quantity substitutions may be necessary based on the nursery’s species
available. However, we request that no species (excluding live stakes) account for more than
20 percentage of a specified planting zone in order to promote diversity within the designated
community type.
i) All riparian planting zone species are below 20 percent of total planted stems.
48) Sheet 6.9 – Will herbaceous plugs be installed in the shallow water planting zone of the
bioretention cells? I think fox sedge is the only OBL species in proposed seed mix.
a) Herbaceous plugs and wetland bare roots will be planted within the shallow water zone in
the BMP.
Honey Mill Mitigation Site, Surry County Page 9 of 9
October 5, 2020 IRT Comment Response
50) Are channel plugs proposed? If so, please indicate approximate locations and include a typical
detail.
a) Channel plugs are not proposed within the plans. Channel plugs may be installed during
construction, if needed, at the discretion of the engineer.
51) Please include an overall fencing plan indicating existing and proposed fencing and approximate
locations of anticipated gates.
a) A fencing plan is now included with the plans. See sheets 7.1-7.6.
Please contact me at 704-332-7754 extension 109 if you have any questions.

1.0 Introduction
The Honey Mill Mitigation Site (Site) is in Surry County approximately 5 miles south of Mount Airy and 7
miles northeast of Dobson (Figure 1). Venable Creek, a tributary to the Ararat River, and its associated
tributaries will be restored and enhanced as part of this project. The Ararat River drains to the Yadkin
River. The Yadkin-Pee Dee river basin covers an area of 7,200 square miles and many waters within the
basin have been given a rating of impaired. The site is located within the Rutledge, Stoney and Flat Shoal
Creek – Ararat River targeted local watershed Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03040101110020 and is
proposed for mitigation credit in the Upper Yadkin Catalog Unit 03040101 (Yadkin 01).
Eight unnamed tributaries (UT’s) to Venable Creek (UT1, UT2, UT2A, UT2B UT3, UT4 UT5, and UT6) flow
through the Site, as depicted in Figure 2. The Site streams are in various stages of impairment related to
the current and historical agricultural land uses. The project proposes to restore, enhance, and preserve
8,901 existing linear feet of streams. The work proposed on the Site will provide 4,793.432 cool stream
credits and will be protected in perpetuity by a 20.2-acre conservation easement as outlined in the Site
Protection Instrument (Appendix 8).
The Site was instituted via the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Division of
Mitigation Services (NCDEQ DMS) RFP # 16-007406. As approved by the North Carolina Interagency
Review Team (NCIRT), all projects contracted under RFP # 16-007406 have a cool or warm service type.
Penalties will not be assessed for using these project mitigation credits to satisfy cool or warm
requirements

2.0 Watershed Approach and Site Selection
The Site was selected based on its potential to support the objectives and goals of multiple conservation
and watershed planning documents, outlined below.
• The 2009 Upper Yadkin River Basin Restoration Priorities (RBRP) states that a portion of the
middle Ararat River in this watershed is impaired by turbidity and habitat degradation (DWQ,
2008) and links the impairment to degraded riparian buffers and unstable streambanks.
Watershed goals outlined in the RBRP include restoration of water quality and aquatic habitat in
impaired streams and implementation of agricultural BMPs in order to limit sediment, nutrients,
and fecal coliform inputs to streams from active farming operations.
• The 2015 North Carolina Wildlife Resource Communion’s (NCWRC) Wildlife Action Plan (WAP)
notes that streams in the Yadkin River basin are impacted by excessive sedimentation and
changes in hydrology and geomorphology due to development, agriculture, and instream
mining. Water quality is also degraded due to excessive nutrient inputs from agriculture and
Honey Mill Mitigation Site Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No. 100083 Page 2 October 2020
other wastewater discharges. The WAP discusses the importance of habitat conservation and
restoration to address current problems affecting species and habitats.
The proposed project will exclude livestock, create stable stream banks, convert pasture to forest, and
implement BMPs to filter agricultural runoff. These actions will address stressors identified in the RBRP
and the WAP by reducing fecal, nutrient, and sediment inputs to project streams, and ultimately to the
Ararat River, and will reconnect instream and terrestrial habitats on the Site to upstream and
downstream resources. Approximately 20.2-acres of land will be placed under permanent conservation
easement to protect the Site in perpetuity.
3.0 Baseline and Existing Conditions
The Site watershed (Table 2 and Figure 3) is in the northern portion of the Yadkin 01. It is situated in
rural Surry County south of Mount Airy and northeast of Dobson, NC. The following sections describe
the existing conditions of the Site, watershed, and watershed processes, including disturbance and
response.

3.1 Landscape Characteristics
3.1.1 Physiography, Topography, Geology, and Soils
The Site is located in the Tugaloo terrane of the Piedmont physiographic province (NCGS, 2018). The
Piedmont Province is characterized by rolling, well rounded hills and long low ridges, with elevations
ranging from 300 to 1500 feet above sea level. The Site topography, as indicated on the Mount Airy
South, NC USGS 7.5 minute topographic quadrangle, shows a gradually sloped valley running through
the center of the Site (Figure 3). The Tugaloo terrane is composed of metamorphosed sedimentary and
volcanic rocks deposited on rifted continental and younger oceanic crust. The underlying geology of the
Site is mapped as Late Proterozoic to Cambrian (500 to 900 million years in age) banded gneiss (CZbb).
The unit is described as interlayered with calc-silicate rock, metaconglomerate, amphibolite, sillimanite-
mica schist, and granitic rock. Instances of exposed bedrock along project channels are mapped on
Figure 2. Bedrock depth observed in areas proposed for stream restoration were several feet deeper
than the proposed design and therefore are not expected to interfere with construction. In some areas,
Honey Mill Mitigation Site Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No. 100083 Page 3 October 2020
the bedrock has been incorporated into the design. Venable Creek Reach 4 is bedrock controlled and
thus vertically stable.
The proposed project is mapped by the Web Soil Survey for Surry County. Project area soils are
described below in Table 3. Figure 5 provides a soil map of the Site.

3.1.2 Watershed
The project begins at the intersection of Little Mountain Church Road and Venable Creek. The
watersheds for UT3, UT4, and UT6 are roughly bound by Venable Farm Road to the west. All of the reach
watersheds are encompassed by Venable Creek watershed, which extends south past Little Mountain
Church Road. The Site is typically defined by forested and agricultural land use with sporadic
development of rural homes. Wildlands conducted a watershed survey on March 31, 2020, to verify land
uses observed in recent aerial photography and to gain an understanding of the various sources of
sediment to Site streams.
Honey Mill Mitigation Site Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No. 100083 Page 4 October 2020
Venable Creek’s watershed is predominantly wooded in the headwaters, with one pasture present just
upstream of Little Mountain Church Road. Venable Creek’s banks are eroded within the pasture, which
provides a fine sediment source to the project. UT1’s watershed is predominantly forested on the
hillslopes while the more gently sloped areas are in row crop production. UT1 is impounded
downstream of the row crops, and this impoundment likely functions as a sediment sink for the
watershed. Downstream of the impoundments, UT1 and its tributary flow through forest and pasture.
Eroded sediments from stream banks are a minor sediment source to UT1. UT3, UT4, and UT6 all have
eroded rills from nearby pastures contributing fine sediments at the inception point of the streams.
Finally, an eroding farm road which enters the Venable Creek floodplain between UT4 and UT6 is a fine
sediment source to Venable Creek.
3.2 Land Use/Land Cover
Land use and land cover, both past and present, were investigated throughout the Site and its
watershed using historical aerials from 1950-2014 and through the March 31, 2020, watershed
reconnaissance survey. Future land use potential was examined by reviewing the Surry County zoning
boundaries and the Surry County Land Use Plan 2040 (Surry County Planning Board, 2019).
A review of historic aerials from 1950 to 2014 shows that onsite streams have existed in their
approximate location for over 60 years, and that the agricultural management of the land has remained
consistent as well. Historic aerial photos are provided for review in Appendix 1.
The Surry County Land Use Plan indicates that no population growth is anticipated in the county over
the next two decades. The land within the watershed is zoned rural and remains rural in the future land
use maps.
3.3 Existing Vegetation
UT1 and Venable Creek Reach 1 consist of narrow rows of woody vegetation including tag alder (Alnus
serrulata) and white pine (Pinus strobus). The herbaceous pasture area is dominated by grasses (Festuca
spp., Pemmosetum spp.), blackberry (Rubus allegheniensis), wood nettle (Solanum viarum), and
multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora). At the beginning of Venable Creek Reach 2, the area becomes more
forested with the canopy species including sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), American beech (Fagus
grandifolia), red maple (Acer rubrum), swamp chestnut oak (Quercus michauxii), red oak (Quercus
rubra), and white oak (Quercus alba). In addition, mountain laurel (Kalmia latifolia) is found along the
right bank steep bluff slopes. Throughout this reach, areas of Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), and
multiflora rose were observed along both banks.
UT2 and UT2A’s vegetation consists of mature canopy dominated by American beech, red maple,
ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana), red oak, and white oak. UT2A and UT2 are located within a forested
pasture where cattle have access. UT3’s buffer consists of American holly (Ilex opaca), Virginia pine
(Pinus virginiana), persimmon (Diospyros virgiana), and black walnut (Juglans nigra). Multiflora rose and
Chinese privet are common along the stream banks in the understory throughout the tributary. UT4 is
located within a forested pasture and includes American beech, red oak, and American holly with
Chinese privet along the stream banks. UT5’s vegetation consists of a mature forest dominated by
American holly, ironwood, black walnut, swamp chestnut oak, red oak, and white oak with Christmas
fern (Polystichum acrostichoides) as groundcover. UT6’s buffer consists of American holly, American
beech, black walnut, and invasive species including Chinese privet, multiflora rose, and Tree of heaven
(Ailanthus altissima).

3.4 Project Resources
Wildlands investigated on-site jurisdictional waters of the United States (US) within the proposed
project area. Potential jurisdictional areas were delineated using the US Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) Routine On-Site Determination Method. This method is defined by the 1987 Corps of Engineers
Wetlands Delineation Manual and the subsequent Eastern Mountain and Piedmont Regional
Supplement. Streams were classified using North Carolina Department of Water Resources (NCDWR)
Classification Forms. Jurisdictional waters of the US were surveyed for inclusion on plans and figures.
NCDWR stream identification forms are in Appendix 3. Tables 4 and 5 provide a summary of water
resources within the project. Existing conditions and cross section locations are illustrated in Figure 2.
Reach specific cross sections and geomorphic summaries are provided in Appendix 4.
Venable Creek
Venable Creek Reach 1 enters the Site from a 42” culvert under Little Mountain Church Road.
Immediately downstream of the culvert, Venable Creek Reach 1 flows through the center of the
moderately confined valley and has low but eroding banks due to cattle impacts. This reach is 100 LF
long, and Reach 2 begins upstream of the UT1 confluence where Venable Creek starts to incise and the
valley widens. Reach 2 has eroded down to bedrock and is laterally unstable with eroding stream banks.
Reach 3 begins immediately after Venable Creek flows under an overhead power line. Reach 3 flows
along the left valley wall despite a wide, alluvial right floodplain and exhibits widespread bank erosion
and sections of incision. An eroding dirt farm road along the top of the steep left bank contributes
sediment to Venable Creek. Downstream of the UT2 confluence, the left floodplain widens and the right
floodplain narrows. Cattle have access to the stream from the right side, causing low, trampled banks.
Venable Creek Reaches 1, 2, and 3 are characterized by a single row of trees along the top of banks with
pasture beyond, several instances of exposed and undercut roots, and extensive cattle impacts. These
reaches have minimal pattern and may have been
straightened to maximize farm fields in the past.
Venable Creek Reach 4 begins downstream of the UT3
confluence. Reach 4’s valley is narrow and the stream
flows against the hillside on the right side of the valley
for most of the reach. The entire stream corridor is
wooded, except for an open pasture in the left floodplain
near the confluence with UT6. For approximately 600
feet downstream of UT3, the left top of bank is fenced,
and the right floodplain is a steep hillside. There is a trail
on the right hillside that is used to move cattle between
pastures and cattle do not access the stream here. Cattle
impacts are more frequent downstream of this 600-foot
long section of Reach 4 and include several in-stream
wallow areas. Although the bed is fairly stable due to
numerous bedrock outcrops and cobble substrate, one or
both banks are eroded or scoured along most of the
reach. Reach 4 has more sinuosity than the upstream
reaches of Venable Creek and has developed point bars
on several meander bends. The valley pinches several
times throughout the reach, including at the old mill near
the downstream end of the project.

Honey Mill Mitigation Site Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No. 100083 Page 6 October 2020
Cross section surveys were conducted on Venable Creek Reaches 2 and 3. Reach 2 is most like an
incised, straightened E4 with a bank height ratio of 1.6 and Reach 3 is most like an incised, straightened
E/C4 with a bank height ratio of 1.3 to 1.6.
UT1
UT1 flows into the Site from a 6-ft X 7-ft concrete box culvert under Siloam Road. UT1 flows for
approximately 180 feet before connecting to Venable Creek. The valley is wide and flat and consists of
scrub brush and herbaceous vegetation. Cattle have full access to UT1 and have trampled the left bank
for most of the reach. The reach is relatively straight and lacks bedform diversity. Bed material consists
of a cobble and large gravel mixture.
A cross sectional survey of UT1 classified the channel as an incised E4b with a bank height ratio of 1.4.
UT2 and UT2A
UT2 Reach 1 originates as an intermittent stream at a
headcut and flows through a confined, wooded valley over
a series of steps and cobble riffles. UT2 transitions to a
perennial channel after 15 LF. UT2A is a perennial channel
that originates offsite and, similar to UT2 Reach 1, flows
through a confined, wooded valley over steps and cobble
riffles. Areas of bank erosion and scour are present on
both streams where the channel flows along the hillside.
There is minimal cattle impact on these steeper reaches.
UT2 Reach 1’s valley widens and flattens and a wetland
has formed in the right floodplain as UT2 Reach 1
approaches the UT2A confluence.
UT2 Reach 2 begins at the UT2A confluence. Cattle impacts are extensive on Reach 2. Trampling has
diverted stream flow away from the relic UT2 stream channel. A channel has formed to the north of the
relic channel and flows along the base of an old barn. Historic aerials support the location of the
observed relic channel. The existing channel has trampled, eroding banks. There is no bedform diversity
and bed substrate consists of mud. Near the confluence with Venable Creek, the defined channel
disappears and splays out into a soft, muddy depression. Reach 2’s buffer is primarily herbaceous; no
woody species are present. A cross sectional survey of UT2 Reach 2 classified the channel as a low
sinuosity C4b.
UT2B
UT2B originates upstream of the project area within a confined valley. UT2B becomes perennial within
the confined valley. Where UT2B enters the floodplain of Venable Creek, it transitions underground.
UT2B is visible within a few sinkholes in the Venable Creek
floodplain.
UT3
UT3 Reach 1 begins at two hillside seeps on the western
side of the Site that is also a cattle wallow area. Channel
definition strengthens downstream of the wallow area.
Cattle impact has caused erosion along the left bank for
the majority of the reach but the stream bed is stabilized
by multiple bedrock outcrops and cobble substrate. UT3 is
relatively straight until it reaches the pasture adjacent to
Venable Creek which marks the transition from Reach 1 to
Reach 2. Reach 2 flows north along the woodline until the
UT3
UT2
Honey Mill Mitigation Site Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No. 100083 Page 7 October 2020
confluence with Venable Creek. The buffer consists of sparse trees and scrubby vegetation. The right
buffer along this lower section consists of a single row of trees. A cross sectional survey of UT3 Reach 2
classified the channel as an incised, low sinuosity E4b with a bank height ratio of 1.5.
UT4
Similar to UT3, UT4 begins as a seep within a cattle wallow area and flows through a confined wooded
valley. Cattle impact along the entire UT4 reach is substantial, both within the channel and in the left
floodplain. Degradation has resulted in several isolated areas of incision along UT4, but the stream is no
longer incising and is vertically stable. The eroding banks and cattle paths to the creek are contributing a
large volume of sediment to UT4 and Venable Creek.
UT5
UT5 is an intermittent channel that originates upstream of the easement within a narrow, wooded
valley. The stream transitions to perennial 105 LF into the easement. Bed degradation has led to incision
along the entire upstream section of the stream channel, but the stream is not eroded. As the channel
reaches the flatter Venable Creek floodplain, it flows into a cattle wallow area. Cattle impact has
diverted water away from the natural channel to form a new flow path. The relic channel is still intact
and connects to Venable Creek. The bed material consists of a mixture of cobble and large gravel.
UT6
UT6 Reach 1 begins as a perennial channel at a hillside seep
adjacent to a pasture on the northwestern side of the Site. The
stream start is within a 100-foot wide powerline easement.
The buffer is thick with brush and there are isolated sections of
bank erosion and incision around bedrock knickpoints. UT6
Reach 2 begins just upstream of where a cattle crossing has
diverted the flow away from the natural channel. Baseflow
now follows the eroding cattle path, splays out into the
floodplain of Venable Creek, and eventually flows into Venable
Creek through a ditch. A cross sectional survey of the now
abandoned UT6 Reach 2 classified the channel as an A4.

4.0 Functional Uplift Potential
The potential for functional uplift is qualitatively described in this section using terminology from the
Stream Functions Pyramid (Harman, 2012). The Stream Functions Pyramid describes a hierarchy of five
stream functions, each of which supports the functions above it on the pyramid (and sometimes
reinforces those below it). The five functions in order from bottom to top are hydrology, hydraulics,
geomorphology, physicochemical, and biology. Neither the Stream Functions Pyramid nor the
Quantification Tool are proposed to determine success of the mitigation site.
4.1 Hydrology
The Site is maintained as grazed pasture and woods, and portions of the Site watersheds have been
managed for row crops and pasture. These alterations in land cover typically result in reductions in
rainfall interception and evapotranspiration which lead to increases in runoff and water yield (Dunne
and Leopold, 1978) when compared to forests. The primary result of these changes is an increase in
both peak flows and base flows. Increases in water yield usually change over time if vegetation is
allowed to regrow, but these watersheds have had relatively consistent land use since 1950.
The Site watersheds has a low percentage of contributing impervious area and low potential for urban
growth. Watershed land use directly adjacent to the stream will be shifted from agriculture to forest as
part of the project. Additionally, five points with potential to concentrate agricultural input will be
treated with BMPs, resulting in a lift to hydrologic function of Site streams after development of the
project.
4.2 Hydraulics
Site streams slated for restoration are hydraulically impaired due to lack of consistent floodplain
connection, apart from UT2 Reach 2. The streams are affected by incision with bank height ratios
ranging from 1.3 to 2.6. Reconnecting the streams to a floodplain using Priority 1 and Priority 2
restoration will provide the in-stream relief needed to improve the hydraulic function of the Site
streams. Bankfull and greater flow velocities and channel shear stresses will be reduced. UT2 Reach 2’s
flow is currently spread into multiple cattle path channels due to intensive cattle activity. Cattle will be
excluded from this area, the valley topography will be restored, and UT2 Reach 2 will be reconstructed
with depth and plan form appropriate for the restored valley.
4.3 Channel Geomorphology
The past incision and on-going bank erosion related to livestock access place most Site streams slated
for restoration in Stages III and IV of the Simon Channel Evolution Model. Approximately 60% of the Site
stream banks slated for restoration are actively eroding, and cattle access 100% of those streams. The
bedform diversity is moderate, with pool to pool spacing ratio ranging from 1.9 to 11.6, and the
streambed is estimated to consist of 50% riffles. Overall, the existing geomorphologic function on these
streams ranges from moderate in areas where bedform diversity has formed despite incision and direct
cattle access, to very poor in direct cattle wallow areas.
There is opportunity to improve the geomorphologic function on the Site. Incision and bank erosion will
be corrected. Active headcuts will be stabilized with step structures. Large woody debris (LWD) will be
added to the system through construction of instream structures and bank revetments. A riparian buffer
will be planted, resulting in improved long-term geomorphic function of the Site streams.
4.4 Physicochemical
No water quality sampling has been conducted on Site streams and there are no water quality
monitoring stations within the watershed; however, the 2009 Upper Yadkin RBRP turbidity as an issue
Honey Mill Mitigation Site Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No. 100083 Page 10 October 2020
and has a goal of restoring impaired stream’s water quality by limiting sediment, nutrients, and fecal
coliform inputs.
All Site streams are accessed by cattle which are a direct source for fecal coliform to the streams. Bank
erosion and pasture runoff contributes sediment and nutrients to the streams. As a result of these
persistent and on-going threats, there is great potential to improve the physicochemical functioning of
the Site streams and their watershed through execution of the project. Beyond the proposed stream
activities, BMPs will be installed at four points of concentrated agricultural input to reduce nutrients and
sediment which may runoff from the adjacent pastures. A riparian buffer will be established and the
pasture within the conservation easement will be taken out of production, thus reducing nutrient-laden
runoff and erosion of nutrient-rich bank sediments.
Water will flow over instream structures that will provide aeration. Trees will be planted in the riparian
zone to eventually shade and cool stream flow and help reduce and filter runoff. The stream will be
reconnected to its floodplain and adjacent riparian wetlands to provide storage and treatment of
overbank flows. Streambank erosion will be reduced to nearly eliminate a source of sediment and
nutrients. However, the potential improvements to physicochemical functioning on Site streams will not
happen immediately and some aspects will not occur until a mature canopy is established. Therefore,
physicochemical improvements will not be explicitly monitored for success, although visual observations
should show that the improvements are in place and functioning.
4.5 Biology
There are no available biological data for the Site; however, the habitat conditions on the Site vary from
poor in areas that are actively incising and heavily accessed by cattle to good in the upper enhancement
reaches that exhibit more stable bedforms and are less frequently accessed by cattle. The wooded
portions of the riparian buffers provide some permanent habitat, but the pastures in the floodplain of
the project provide little habitat value for terrestrial species.
There is opportunity to improve the instream and riparian habitat. Instream structures with a variety of
rock and woody materials, pools of varying depths, and woody bank revetments will be added to the
Site streams to increase instream habitat diversity, and a wide riparian buffer that will shade the stream
and improve terrestrial habitat will be planted. UT2 Reach 2 will be restored to a single thread channel
with a diverse bedform. Although the biological response of the project will not be explicitly monitored,
improvements in biologic activity of the Site will likely be noted during visual assessments of the project.
4.6 Overall Functional Uplift Potential
Overall, the Site has good functional uplift potential, including slight improvements in watershed
hydrology, the improvements in stream hydraulics that will be seen throughout the Site with the stream
restoration and BMP installations, and improvements in geomorphology that will come with restoring
streams that are suited to the valley types throughout the Site. Physicochemical and biological
improvements will result from the project as well.
4.7 Site Constraints to Functional Uplift
There are no known Site constraints that will affect the functional uplift of the project. The valley width
on the Site will allow for the development of appropriate pattern and dimensions to restore stable,
functioning streams and wetlands. The degree to which the physicochemical and biology functions can
improve on the Site is limited by the watershed conditions beyond the project limits, upstream water
quality, and the presence of source communities upstream and downstream of the Site.

5.1 Biological and Cultural Resources
A Categorical Exclusion for the Site was approved on November 2, 2018. This document included
investigation into the presence of threatened and endangered species on Site protected under The
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as well as any historical resources protected under The National
Historic Preservation Act of 1966. The biological conclusion for the Site, per the Categorical Exclusion
research and response by US Fish and Wildlife Service, is that “any incidental take that may results from
the associated activities [from the project] is exempt under the 4(d) rule.” The conclusion for cultural
resources per the Categorical Exclusion research and response by the State Historic Preservation Office
is that there are no historic resources that would be affected by this project. The signed Categorical
Exclusion checklist and summary are provided in Appendix 5. A complete copy of the Categorical
Exclusion document, including additional information and regulatory communications, is available upon
request.
5.2 FEMA Floodplain Compliance and Hydrologic Trespass
The Site is represented on the Surry County Flood Insurance Rate Map Panel 5927, with an effective
date of August 18, 2009. The entire Site is outside of a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) regulatory
floodplain. Surry County does not require a floodplain development permit for projects outside of the
SFHA.
The proposed design associated with the Site has limited or no risk of potential hydrologic trespass since
the project encompasses predominantly steep, zero order or first order streams. Venable Creek and UT1
are the only streams with risk for backwater effects. Venable Creek Reach 1 is enhancement II with no
instream work proposed, and the first 200 feet of Reach 2 is enhancement I at grade, reducing the risk
of offsite backwater effects. UT1 is a Priority 2 restoration for its length, which increases floodplain
capacity with limited backwater potential.
5.3 401/404
Some wetlands within the floodplain adjacent to the existing streams will be partially impacted during
realignment of the stream channel. Wetlands on the Site that are within the conservation easement and
outside of the limits of disturbance will be flagged with safety fence during construction to prevent
unintended impacts. This will be denoted in the final construction plans. The Pre-Construction
Notification, including this data, will be submitted to the NCIRT with the Final Mitigation Plan.

7.0 Design Approach and Mitigation Work Plan
7.1 Design Approach Overview
The design approach for this Site was developed to meet the goals and objectives described in Section 6
which were formulated based on the potential for uplift described in Section 4. The design is also
intended to provide the expected outcomes in Section 6, though these are not tied to performance
criteria. The project streams proposed for restoration on the Site will be reconnected with an active
floodplain and the channels will be reconstructed with stable dimension, pattern, and profile that will
transport the water and sediment delivered to the system. Cattle will be excluded from the riparian
zone and the entire project area will be protected in perpetuity by a conservation easement.
The design approach for this Site utilized a combination of analog and analytical approaches for stream
restoration, and also relies on empirical data and prior experiences and observations. Reference reaches
were identified to serve as the basis for design parameters. Channels were sized based on design
discharge hydrologic analysis which uses a combination of empirical and analytical data as described
within this report. Designs were then verified and/or modified based on sediment transport analysis.
These design approaches have been used on many successful Mountain and Piedmont restoration
projects and is appropriate for the goals and objectives for this Site.
7.2 Reference Streams
Reference streams provide geomorphic parameters of a stable system, which can be used to inform
design of stable channels of similar stream types in similar landscapes and watersheds. Eight reference
reaches were identified for this Site and used to support the design of streams (Figure 6). These
reference reaches were chosen because of their similarities to the Site streams including drainage area,
valley slope, morphology, and bed material. Due to the variety of slopes and project stream types
present on the Site, the distribution of reference reaches is wide, throughout North Carolina’s foothills
and western Piedmont. Geomorphic parameters for these reference reaches are summarized in
Appendix 4. The references to be used for the specific streams are shown in Table 7. A description of
each reference reach is included below.

7.2.1 Critcher Brothers Reference Streams
The following streams are in Wilkes County at Wildlands’ Critcher Brothers Mitigation Site. The
landscape of this project is similar to the Site and supports a variety of stream types from B streams to
high sloped Aa+ step pool channels.
Honey Mill Mitigation Site Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No. 100083 Page 14 October 2020
Ironwood Tributary Reference Reach
Ironwood Tributary reference reach is geomorphically described as a steep (11.4%) step-like system and
classifies as an A5a+ channel. It has a drainage area of 0.03 square miles and is surrounded by heavy
canopy coverage. It has a channel sinuosity of 1.19 which is considerably high for high gradient systems.
Several long gravel/cobble riffles were observed that cascaded into pools over root mass, woody debris,
or a boulder step at the tail of riffle.
Timber Tributary Reference Reach
Timber Tributary Reference Reach is a 200 ft B4 channel with a drainage area of approximately 0.04
square miles. The stream meanders through a confined valley surrounded by mature trees. The channel
has a moderate slope of 3.2%, and a channel sinuosity of 1.12. This system supports varied habitats
including woody debris, rock riffles and meander pools.
UT to SF Fishing Creek Reference Reach
UT to SF Fishing Creek reference reach is a small, steep (8.2%) B5a channel. It has a drainage area of
approximately 0.02 square miles. UT to SF Fishing Creek is surrounded by a forested land cover and is
located at the downstream-most end of the project site. The bedform consists of bedrock slides and
boulder step-pool cascades located at the tail of riffle features. The channel is confined so the banks are
relatively high but host a variety of mature vegetation.
7.2.2 Riverbend Park
Riverbend Park is located in Catawba County, NC and receives drainage from a predominantly forested
watershed. The surveyed portion of the reach has a slope of 1.3% with a moderate sinuosity and quality
bedform. This reach has a drainage area of 0.1 square miles and is classified as a Rosgen C4 stream. The
reach had an entrenchment ratio of 1.6, width to depth ratio of 11.8, and a bank height ratio of 1.2.
7.2.3 UT to Gap Branch
UT to Gap Branch is located in the Box Creek Wilderness near Union Mills, NC. This stream flows
through a confined valley with an alluvial bottom. The overall stream slope is 6.8% and the width to
depth ratio is 10.1. The entrenchment ratio is 3.4, and the reach classifies as a slightly entrenched B4a.
7.2.4 Agony Acres UT1 Reach 3
Reach 3 of UT1 on the Agony Acres Mitigation Site in Guilford County was selected as a reference reach
due to its similarity in slope and drainage area to the restoration reaches on the project. UT1 – Reach 3
has a drainage area of 0.3 square miles and classified as an B4 stream type.
7.2.5 UT to Rocky Creek
The UT to Rocky Creek reference site is in central Montgomery County within the Uwharrie National
Forest. The drainage area is 1.10 square miles and the land use within the drainage area is a semi-
mature forest. The UT to Rocky Creek Reference site was classified as an E4b stream type with a low
sinuosity (1.1). The channel has a width to depth ratio of 9.1 and an entrenchment ratio of 6. The reach
has a valley slope of 2.6% while the channel slope is 2.4%. The bed material d50 for the reach is 22.6
mm. Due to the low sinuosity, no pattern data were collected.
7.2.6 Box Creek
The Box Creek reference reach site is in Rutherford County and has a drainage area of 2.13 square miles.
The entire watershed is forested and the reference reach site is located approximately a quarter mile
upstream from a large pond. The reach is characterized by short riffles, deep pools, and long shallow
runs. This moderately sinuous reach (1.3) classifies as a C4 channel and has a high width/depth ratio of
19.1. This reach reported a bank height ratio of 1.5 but banks were typically stable due to a large extent
of woody vegetation lining each bank, especially along the outer bends of a few tight meanders. In-
Honey Mill Mitigation Site Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No. 100083 Page 15 October 2020
stream habitat structures included undercut banks, woody debris, and coarse substrate from which fish
have built several gravel piles for nesting.
7.3 Design Discharge Analysis
Multiple methods were used to develop bankfull discharge estimates for each of the project restoration
reaches. These are discussed below. Figure 7 shows the relationship of the data to the design discharge
estimates.
7.3.1 Regional Curve Data
Discharge was estimated using the published NC Mountain Curve (Figure 7) as well as the updated curve
for rural Piedmont and Mountain streams, shown as the Alan Walker Curve.
7.3.2 Regional Flood Frequency Analysis
A regional flood frequency analysis was performed by using 26 USGS gages in the North Carolina
Piedmont including five gages with drainage areas smaller than 1 square mile. The Hosking and Walls
(1995) homogeneity test was performed using statistical software R© to identify the most appropriate
gages for use in the analysis. Flood frequency regression curves were developed to calculate discharges
for ungaged streams in the North Carolina Piedmont for the 1.2-year and 1.5-year recurrence intervals.
7.3.3 Site Specific Reference Reach Curve
Eight reference reaches were identified for this project. Each reference reach was surveyed to develop
information for analyzing drainage area-discharge relationships as well as development of design
parameters. Stable cross-sectional dimensions and channel slopes were used to compute a bankfull
discharge with the Manning’s equation for each reference reach. The resulting discharge values were
plotted with drainage area on Figure 7 (Reference Reach Curve) and compared the other discharge
estimation methods.
7.3.4 Maximum Discharge (Manning’s Equation)
A riffle cross-section was surveyed on each design reach on the Site. Due to the existing impairments
throughout Site streams, bankfull indicators were weak and not considered reliable for estimating a
bankfull discharge. Instead, Manning’s equation was used to calculate a discharge associated with the
top of banks for all project streams. Stream slope was calculated from the surveyed channel slope, and
roughness was estimated using guidelines from Chow (1959). This corresponding discharge was plotted
on Figure 7 (Qmax – Existing Site Streams) and considered as an upper limit for potential bankfull
discharge values throughout the Site except for UT2 Reach 2. UT2 Reach 2’s flow is split due to cattle
trampling and the bankfull cross section surveyed only carrys a portion of the watershed flow.
7.3.5 Wildlands Regional USGS Rural Calculator
Wildlands developed a regional flood frequency analysis tool that tailored the USGS 2009 publication
Magnitude and Frequency of Rural Floods in the Southeastern United States, through 2006 to the
Piedmont of North Carolina. Of the 103 stations referenced in the publication, 23 were used in the
development of the tool. To fill gaps in data, five additional stations were added by Wildlands to
represent streams with drainage areas less than one square mile. The Hosking and Wallis homogeneity
test was performed in R© to identify the most appropriate gages based on homogeneity (Hosking and
Wallis, 1993). The gages used were:
Honey Mill Mitigation Site Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No. 100083 Page 16 October 2020
• USGS 02096740 – Gun Branch near Alamance, NC (DA = 4.06 mi2)
• USGS 02096846 – Cane Creek near Yadkin Grove, NC (DA = 7.54 mi2)
• USGS 02097010 – Robeson Creek near Pittsboro, NC (DA = 1.71 mi2)
• USGS 02101030 – Falls Creek near Bennett, NC (DA = 3.43 mi2)
• USGS 0210166029 – Rocky River at SR1300 near Crutchfield Crossroads, NC (DA = 7.42 mi2)
The data from these 28 gage stations were used to develop flood frequency curves for the 1.2-year and
1.5-year recurrence interval discharges. These relationships can be used to estimate discharge of those
recurrence intervals for ungaged streams in the same hydrologic region and were solved for each
project reach’s discharge with the drainage area as the input. The discharge estimates are shown on
Figure 7 as the Regional Flood Frequency storms.
7.3.6 Design Discharge Analysis Summary
The design discharge analysis began with a review of the Site streams’ maximum discharges. These
points were outside the scatter of all other curves and datasets for all streams except UT2 Reach 2 and
were thus removed from consideration due to the unstable nature of the cross-sections. UT2 Reach 2’s
existing cross section does not receive all of the watershed flow due to multiple flowpaths through
cattle trampled areas, so the maximum discharge is low. Review of the regional curve, the reference
reach curve, and the 1.2-year and 1.5-year flood frequency relationships revealed that the NC Mountain
Curve slope and intercept are similar to that of the reference reach curve, while the Alan Walker Curve
intercept is similar to the 1.2-year predictions. These curves were then used to set the upper and lower
boundaries, respectively, for the selected Site design discharges. Design discharges for were selected
within the scatter of the reference reach curve and between the 1.2-year and 1.5-year predictions for all
streams except UT2 Reach 2. UT2 Reach 2 exists a steep valley and flows through a wetland developed
within the alluvial fan sediments. UT2 Reach 2’s design discharge was intentionally set lower, in line with
the 1.2-year prediction, to promote frequent stream-floodplain interaction and further development of
the stream-wetland complex.
The design discharge selections support the design goal of reducing instream stress by promoting
frequent dispersal and infiltration of flood flows onto floodplains while maintaining small channel
constructability. Table 8 gives a summary of the discharge analysis, while Figure 7 illustrates the design
discharge data.

7.4 Design Channel Morphological Parameters
Reference reaches were a primary source of information to develop the pattern and profile design
parameters for the streams. Ranges of pattern parameters were developed within the reference reach
parameter ranges with some exceptions based on best professional judgement and knowledge from
previous projects. For example, for meandering C designs, radius of curvature ratio is kept above 1.8 on
all reaches and meander width ratio is kept above a 2.4. Meandering designs have pool widths to be 1.2
to 1.5 times the width of riffles to provide adequate point bars and riffle pool transition zones.
Wildlands has found these minimum ratios to support stable geometry. Designer experience was used
for pool design as well. Pool depths were designed to be a minimum of 3 times deeper than riffles to
provide habitat variation. Cross-section parameters such as area, depth, and width were designed based
on the design discharge and stable bank slopes. In some cases, the width to depth ratio was increased
beyond reference parameters as dictated by prior project experience to provide stable bank slopes prior
to the development of a fully vegetated streambank. Key morphological parameters for the Site are
listed in Tables 9-12. Complete morphological tables for existing, reference, and proposed conditions are
in Appendix 4.

7.5 Sediment Transport Analysis
As discussed in Section 4.1, the UT1 and Venable Creek watersheds deliver some sediment to the onsite
streams, but the majority of sediment observed in the project streams originates through onsite erosion
and cattle access. The project stream and valley restoration will address the major sediment sources
within the watershed by protecting stream banks, removing cattle from the system, and reducing
channel shear stress. Buffers will be converted from pastures to planted native woody tree and shrub
species. The restored buffer will provide filtration for overland flow from remaining upland agricultural
fields. Additionally, four BMPs will be constructed to treat points of concentrated agricultural runoff.
The existing Site streams are not capacity limited, and the project should reduce sediment supply;
therefore, the focus of sediment transport analysis for design was to verify that the designed channels
will be stable over time and have the competence to pass the sediment that continues to be delivered
by the watershed.
7.5.1 Competence Analysis
Competence analyses were performed during design for each of the restoration reaches by comparing
shear stress associated with the design bankfull discharge, proposed channel dimensions, and proposed
channel slopes with the size distribution of the existing bed load. The analysis utilized standard
equations based on a methodology using the Shields (1936) curve and Andrews (1984) equation
described by Rosgen (2001). Channel slope and design dimensions were varied as possible until the
resulting design verified that the stream reach could move the bed load supplied to the stream. Each
stream reach design follows the natural fall of the valley, and design stream slopes can vary widely over
a design reach. For this reason, the lowest design slope was used in the competence analysis to ensure
that the sediment delivered by the watershed would pass through the lowest sloped reach. The results
of the analysis are shown in Table 13.

The initial competence analysis was based on the size material naturally found in the stream to mimic
potential bed load. The results were used to inform further design of the reach. Due to the steeper
nature of UT1, UT2, UT3, and UT6, the streams are often capable of moving particle sizes far greater
than that supplied by the watershed. By reviewing competence using the lowest design slope, often
where the stream enters the Venable Creek floodplain, the design was iterated to have enough slope so
as to continue to move sediment through the system without excessive aggradation. On Venable Creek,
the Andrew’s equation for gravel bed transport suggests that the design is close to equilibrium with the
watershed sediment supply. The Shield’s equation suggests that the stream design may not be
competent to pass the largest particle supplied by the watershed, while Rosgen’s equation suggests that
it is competent to move the watershed supply. Shield’s equation was based on data collected from
homogenous size distributions in flumes while Rosgen’s equation was based on data collected from
heterogenous size distribution in natural streams. Rosgen’s data set is more similar to the Site streams
and suggests that the Venable Creek design is more than competent to pass the sediment generated
from the watershed.
The excess shear throughout most of the Site streams influenced the design of rock and wood step
structures to provide grade control and increase roughness within the channel. Riffles with larger
materials, such as chunky riffles, were also integrated into the design as grade control. The proposed D50
and D100 for the constructed riffles on all stream reaches will be sized so that the reconstructed channels
will not produce enough shear stress to entrain the largest particles in these structures. This will ensure
a stable pavement while allowing for bed load material to be active within the system.

DMS ID No. 100083 Page 21 October 2020
7.6 Project Implementation
Currently, the streams throughout the Site are extensively impacted by grazing. The primary stressors to
Site streams are livestock trampling and fecal coliform inputs, lack of stabilizing stream bank and
riparian vegetation, active erosion, and incision.
Wildlands’ approach to improving the streams on the Site includes a multi-tiered approach including
enhancement I and II, and Priority 1 restoration with Priority 2 restoration limited to confluences and
transition zones. The efforts will extend up to the stream origin on UT2, UT3, UT4, and UT6, and far into
the headwaters of UT2A and UT5, representing a holistic, watershed scale restoration of much of the
Site.
Venable Creek Reaches 1 and 4, UT2 Reach 1, UT2A, UT3 Reach 1, UT4, UT5, and UT6 Reach 1 are
relatively stable geomorphically, but historic and ongoing cattle access to the streams has resulted in
areas of trampled stream banks, erosion, and spot areas of poor riparian buffers. These reaches are
slated for enhancement level II, which will include correcting isolated areas of bank erosion on perennial
reaches.
Enhancement I is proposed for Venable Creek Reach 2. The profile will be adjusted within the existing
stream banks, and areas of bank erosion will be corrected. This reach serves as a transition between the
enhancement II length of Venable Creek Reach 1 to full restoration proposed on Venable Creek Reach 3.
Restoration practices are proposed on the remainder of the Site where persistent, systemic incision and
erosion cannot be addressed through spot treatment. Enhancement I efforts on Venable Creek Reach 2
allow for Venable Creek Reach 3 to connect directly to the historic floodplain using Priority 1 restoration
with a short, transitional length of Priority 2 restoration. Priority 1 restoration will continue to the
downstream reach extents, where a transitional length of Priority 2 restoration will be required to tie
the stream into the existing channel. UT2B will be garded to tie into the new location of Venable Creek
Reach 3.
UT1 will also be brought up to the historic floodplain beginning at the Siloam Road culvert, allowing for
an immediate transition to Priority 1 restoration. A short length of Priority 2 restoration ties UT1 into
Venable Creek Reach 2.
Restoration of UT2 Reach 2 begins at the confluence of UT2 and UT2A. As the valley widens, a critical
farm road along the left valley toe pinches the floodplain. This farm road will remain just outside of the
easement. To compensate for this pinch point, the right valley wall will be graded to widen UT2’s
floodplain. Cattle trampling through this valley will be corrected and UT2 Reach 2 will be restored to a
Honey Mill Mitigation Site
Honey Mill Mitigation Site Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No. 100083 Page 22 October 2020
single thread channel. UT2 Reach 2 will drop into Venable Creek over a structure, eliminating the need
for a transitional section of Priority 2 restoration.
UT3 Reach 2 will be brought up onto the historic floodplain beginning at a bedrock knickpoint, allowing
for immediate transition to Priority 1 restoration. Priority 1 restoration will continue downstream to UT3
Reach 2’s confluence with Venable Creek.
UT6 Reach 2 will be routed back to its original valley. Valley walls will be graded to stable slopes and
stable step-pool bedform will be constructed.
Along each restoration and enhancement reach, cattle will be excluded and open areas of the buffer will
be planted.
This proposed work will not only improve Site streams, but will restore the habitat fragmentation
caused by the current agricultural land use practices. Restoration of riparian buffers will connect the
entire watershed to the existing forested areas upstream of UT2 and UT5 and downstream on Venable
Creek to provide an uninterrupted riparian corridor. A concept plan for the Site is provided in Figure 8.
7.7 Onsite Best Management Practices
Eroding, ephemeral features and actively grazed cattle pasture
upstream of the origination of UT3, UT4, and UT6 concentrate
the pasture drainage to the stream channels. Cattle wallow
areas adjacent to Venable Creek are discrete sources for
sediment and fecal matter. Stormwater BMPs will be established
upstream of jurisdictional features within the conservation
easement to capture and treat the runoff from these areas. The
BMPs will be planted with appropriate native species to
encourage nutrient uptake, settling, and treatment. BMPs are
expected to capture sediment after construction and fill in over
time, transitioning to a vegetative filter feature. BMPs will not
be monitored or maintained.
7.8 Vegetation and Planting Plan
Non-forested areas within the conservation easement will be planted, which includes additional buffer
areas beyond the minimum requirement of 30 feet from top of bank. Riparian buffers will be planted
with native vegetation chosen to develop a forested riparian zone. The Dry-Mesic Oak-Hickory and Basic
Mesic Forest community types were used as references for creating the site planting plan. Many of the
selected species are representative of these community types although a few additional early
successional species were included to help climax species establish. Species chosen for the planting plan
are listed on Sheet 3.0 of the Draft Plans located in Appendix 12.
The riparian buffer and wetland areas will be planted with bare root seedlings. In addition, the stream
banks will be planted with live stakes and the channel toe will be planted with herbaceous species.
Permanent herbaceous seed will be spread on streambanks, floodplain areas, and disturbed areas
within the project easement. Bare root and live stake planting will take place during the dormant
season.
Some of the existing invasive species along restoration and enhancement reaches, including fescue
(Festuca spp.), will be treated with herbicide preconstruction, while invasives within active construction
corridors will be mechanically removed during construction. The extent of invasive species coverage will
be monitored, mapped, and controlled as necessary throughout the required monitoring period as
discussed in Appendix 7.

Utilities, Stream Crossings, and Site Access
Table 14 summarizes the proposed crossings on the Site. All crossings are included in the easement and
are existing utility or stream crossings. Ford or culvert crossings will be fenced with 5-strand barbed wire
or charged high-tensile wire and gated. The culvert pipes will be buried 6 to 12 inches to allow for a
natural stream bed through the crossing, promoting fish passage and aquatic habitat continuity. The
maintenance of the crossings will be the responsibility of the landowner once the project is closed by
the NCIRT and transferred to NCDEQ stewardship.
There are two overhead utility easements which overlap the project easement; one on Venable Creek
shown in Table 14 and one at the upstream end of UT6. UT6 originates within the utility easement. The
conservation easement extends to UT6’s origin but no credit is proposed within the utility easement.
The landowner plans to install cattle watering systems post-project at several locations as part of the
project implementation. The easement area can be accessed for construction, monitoring, and long-
term stewardship from Little Mountain Church Road and Siloam Road.

7.10 Project Risk and Uncertainties
In general, this project is low risk. There is low risk of hydraulic trespass from the project due to the
current and designed slopes of the project channels. The farmers are on the land daily and will be able
to repair damaged fences and/or remove stray livestock from the easement quickly.
The rural agricultural zoning of the watershed protects it from potential urban development, however
there is always risk of logging on large tracts of forested land such as those within the Venable Creek
and UT1 watersheds. Logging of these watersheds could increase peak flows and sediment to these
streams. UT1’s watershed contains several impoundments which may function to control fine sediment
runoff and peak flows should logging occur.
Valley slope transitions, such as where the Site tributaries enter the broad Venable Creek floodplain, can
naturally function as aggradational areas. Sediment transport has been analyzed for restoration reaches
through valley transitions and the streams are expected to be competent to move the existing bedload
over time. Existing fine sediment sources, including streambank erosion and farm runoff, will be reduced
through stream bank repair and BMP installation, reducing the risk of aggradation due to capacity. If
unforeseen land use changes increase fine sediment loads beyond current levels, there is a risk of
aggradation at the valley slope breaks. This risk may be offset by additional vegetation on floodplains or
off-line sediment sink BMPs.
There is potential for utility line maintenance where the lines cross the easement on Venable Creek and
overlaps a portion of the easement at the upstream extents of UT6. No poles are located within the
conservation easement, so anticipated impacts are limited to vegetation maintenance, and these areas
were excluded from mitigation creidting. There is also future potential for the culverts under Little
Mountain Church Road and Siloam Road to be maintained in the future. The conservation easement
Honey Mill Mitigation Site Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No. 100083 Page 24 October 2020
does not overlap the road right-of-ways. If maintenance impacted the conservation easement, it is
anticipated to be limited to the area immediately in the vicinity of the culverts.
8.0 Performance Standards
The stream performance standards for the project have been developed based on guidance presented
in the DMS Stream and Wetland Mitigation Plan Template and Guidance (June 2017) and the October
2016 NCIRT Mitigation Monitoring Guidance. Annual monitoring and semi-annual site visits will be
conducted to assess the condition of the finished project. Specific performance standard components
are proposed for stream morphology, stream hydrology, and riparian vegetation. Performance criteria
will be evaluated throughout the seven-year post-construction monitoring period. An outline of the
performance criteria components follows.
8.1 Stream Morphological Parameters and Channel Stability
8.1.1 Dimension
Riffle cross sections on the restoration reaches should be stable and should show little change in
bankfull area, bank height ratio, and width-to-depth ratio. Per NCIRT guidance (2016), bank height ratios
shall not exceed 1.2 and entrenchment ratios shall be at least 1.4 for restored B channels and 2.2 for
restored C channels to be considered stable. Riffle cross sections should fall within the parameters
defined for channels of the appropriate stream type. If any changes do occur, these changes will be
evaluated to assess whether the stream channel is showing signs of instability. Changes in the channel
that indicate a movement toward stability or enhanced habitat include a decrease in the width-to-depth
ratio in meandering channels or an increase in pool depth. Remedial action would not be taken if
channel changes indicate a movement toward stability.
8.1.2 Pattern and Profile
Visual assessments and photo documentation should indicate that streams are remaining stable and do
not indicate a trend toward vertical or lateral instability. Signs of instability may include bank scour,
bank migration, and bed incision. Additionally, UT2 Reach 2 shall be visually assessed annually to
determine if the stream is maintaining single-thread form.
8.1.3 Substrate
Restoration reaches should show a progression towards or the maintenance of coarser materials in the
riffle features and smaller particles in the pool features. However, natural variations in pool and riffle
substrate is expected as a result of sediment transport processes in steeper sloped channels. A reach-
wide pebble count will be performed in each restoration reach each monitoring year for classification
purposes. A wetted pebble count will be performed during the baseline survey at surveyed riffles to
characterize the pavement. Riffles may fine over the course of monitoring due to the stabilization of
contributing watershed sediment sources.
8.2 Hydrology
Stream hydrologic monitoring will be conducted on stream reaches that utilize restoration and/or
enhancement level I approaches where in-stream work conducted alters channel dimensions below the
bankfull elevation. Automated pressure transducers will be used to bankfull events and are referred to
as crest gages (CG) in text and tables.
The occurrence of bankfull events will be documented throughout the monitoring period. Four bankfull
flow events, occurring in separate years, must be documented within the seven-year monitoring period.
Automated crest gages will be set to record bankfull events every three hours and will be installed
within the stream’s surveyed riffle cross section. The device will be checked quarterly to determine if a
Honey Mill Mitigation Site Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No. 100083 Page 25 October 2020
bankfull event has occurred. Evidence of bankfull events, such as the occurrence of debris lines and
sediment deposition, will be documented with photos when possible.
8.3 Vegetation
The final vegetative performance standard will be the survival of 210 planted stems per acre in the
planted riparian and wetland areas at the end of the required seven-year monitoring period. The interim
measure of vegetative success for the Site will be the survival of at least 320 planted stems per acre at
the end of monitoring year three (MY3) and at least 260 stems per acre at the end of MY5. Also, trees
must average six feet in height at the end of the fifth monitoring year, and eight feet in height at the end
of the seventh monitoring year. The extent of invasive species coverage will be monitored and
controlled as necessary throughout the required monitoring period.
Vegetation monitoring quadrants will be installed across the Site to measure the survival of the planted
trees with the riparian and wetland areas. The number of monitoring quadrants required, and frequency
of monitoring will be based on the DMS monitoring guidance documents. Vegetation monitoring will
occur between July 1 and leaf drop and will follow the CVS-EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation (2008)
or another DMS approved protocol.
8.4 Other Parameters
8.4.1 Photo Documentation
Photographs should illustrate the Site’s vegetation and morphological stability on an annual basis. Cross
section photos should demonstrate no excessive erosion or degradation of the banks. Longitudinal
photos should indicate the absence of persistent mid-channel bars within the channel or vertical
incision. Grade control structures should remain stable. Deposition of sediment on the bank side of vane
arms is preferable. Maintenance of scour pools on the channel side of vane arms is expected.
8.4.2 Visual Assessments
Visual assessments should support the specific performance standards for each metric as described
above.
9.0 Monitoring Plan
The Site monitoring plan has been developed to ensure that the required performance standards are
met and project goals and objectives are achieved. Annual monitoring data will be reported using the
DMS Annual Monitoring Reporting Template (June 2017). The monitoring report shall provide project
data chronology that will facilitate an understanding of project status and trends, ease population of
DMS databases for analysis and research purposes, and assist in close-out decision making.
Using the DMS Baseline Monitoring Report Template (June 2017), a baseline monitoring document and
as-built record drawings of the project will be developed following the planting completion and
monitoring installation on the restored site. Monitoring reports will be prepared in the fall of each
monitoring year and submitted to DMS by November 30. Complete monitoring reports will be prepared
in the fall of monitoring year one, two, three, five, and seven and submitted to DMS. In monitoring years
four and six, a brief summary of the site conditions along with photos, current condition plan view
(CCPV) map, and applicable hydrology data will be prepared and submitted to DMS. The closeout
monitoring period will extend seven years beyond completion of construction or until performance
standards have been met. The closeout report will follow the DMS Closeout Report Template Version
2.2 (January 2016).
Table 15, below, describes how the monitoring plan is set up to verify that project goals and objectives
have been achieved.

10.0 Long-Term Management Plan
The Site will be transferred to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ)
Stewardship Program. This party shall serve as conservation easement holder and long-term steward for
the property and will conduct periodic inspection of the Site to ensure that restrictions required in the
conservation easement are upheld. Funding will be supplied by the responsible party on a yearly basis
until such time an endowment is established. The NCDEQ Stewardship Program is developing an
endowment system within the non-reverting, interest-bearing Conservation Lands Conservation Fund
Account. The use of funds from the Endowment Account will be governed by North Carolina General
Statue GS 113A-232(d)(3). Interest gained by the endowment fund may be used for the purpose of
stewardship, monitoring, stewardship administration, and land transaction costs, if applicable.
The Stewardship Program will periodically install signage as needed to identify boundary markings as
needed. Any livestock or associated fencing or permanent crossings will be the responsibility the owner
of the underlying fee to maintain.
The Site Protection Instrument can be found in Appendix 8.
Table 18: Long-term Management Plan
Long-Term Management Activity Long-Term Manager Responsibility Landowner Responsibility
Signage will be installed and
maintained along the Site
boundary to denote the area
protected by the recorded
conservation easement.
The long-term steward will be
responsible for inspecting the Site
boundary during periodic inspections
(every one to three years) and for
maintaining or replacing signage to
ensure that the conservation
easement area is clearly marked.
The landowner shall report
damaged or missing signs to the
long-term manager, as well as
contact the long-term manager if
a boundary needs to be marked,
or clarification is needed
regarding a boundary location. If
land use changes in future and
fencing is required to protect the
easement, the landowner is
responsible for installing
appropriate approved fencing.
The Site will be protected in its
entirety and managed under the
terms outlined in the recorded
conservation easement.
The long-term manager will be
responsible for conducting annual
inspections and for undertaking
actions that are reasonably calculated
to swiftly correct the conditions
constituting a breach. The USACE, and
their authorized agents, shall have the
right to enter and inspect the Site and
to take actions necessary to verify
compliance with the conservation
easement.
The landowner shall contact the
long-term manager if clarification
is needed regarding the
restrictions associated with the
recorded conservation easement.

11.0 Adaptive Management Plan
Upon completion of Site construction, Wildlands will implement the post-construction monitoring
defined in Sections 8 and 9. Project maintenance will be performed during the monitoring years to
address minor issues as necessary (Appendix 9). If, during annual monitoring it is determined the Site’s
ability to achieve Site performance standards is jeopardized, Wildlands and DMS will notify the
members of the NCIRT and work with the NCIRT to develop contingency plans and remedial actions.
12.0 Determination of Credits
Mitigation credits presented in Table 19 are projections based upon the proposed design. The Site is
submitted for mitigation credit in the Yadkin 03040101. The credit ratios proposed for the Site have
been developed in consultation with the NCIRT as summarized in technical memorandum dated
September 25, 2018. This correspondence is included in Appendix 6.
1. The requested stream restoration credit ratio is 1:1 for mitigation activities that include
reconstruction of stable channels and restoring floodplain connection.
2. Venable Creek Reach 2 is proposed for enhancement I credit at a 1.5:1 ratio.
3. Enhancement II is proposed at different ratios throughout the Site to reflect different stressors
and levels of proposed treatment.
a. Venable Creek Reach 1 is proposed at 2.5:1 credit to reflect a combination of frequent
cattle access, degraded buffers, and areas of erosion that require repair. Venable Creek
Reach 4, while minimally impacted by cattle, is also proposed at 2.5:1 to account for
more extensive bank repair and bench grading.
b. UT3 Reach 1, UT4, UT5, and UT6 Reach 1 are proposed at 3:1 credit to reflect cattle
exclusion and spot erosion repair.
c. UT2 Reach 1 and UT2A are proposed at 4:1 credit to acknowledge that, while cattle
currently graze the understory here and will be excluded, their impact is minimal and
there is an existing forested canopy.
4. No credit is sought for the BMPs or for work required to extend UT2B to meet the new location
of Venable Creek Reach 3.
Buffers proposed throughout the Site meet the minimum required 30-foot standard width for Mountain
streams, and in most cases, far exceed it. The credit release schedule is provided in Appendix 11.

Longitude: -80.610504
Location description: Northeast of intersection of Siloam Rd. & Little Mountain Church Rd, Mount Airy, North Carolina
Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
A. Preliminary Determination
☒ There appear to be waters, including wetlands on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404
of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). The
waters, including wetlands have been delineated, and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently accurate
and reliable. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed revised delineation map submitted via email
on 6/18/2020. Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction determination may be used in the permit evaluation process, including
determining compensatory mitigation. For purposes of computation of impacts, compensatory mitigation requirements, and other
resource protection measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat all waters and wetlands that
would be affected in any way by the permitted activity on the site as if they are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. This preliminary
determination is not an appealable action under the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process (Reference 33 CFR Part
331). However, you may request an approved JD, which is an appealable action, by contacting the Corps district for further
instruction.
☐ There appear to be waters, including wetlands on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404
of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403).
However, since the waters, including wetlands have not been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdiction determination
may not be used in the permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation, this preliminary determination is
merely an effective presumption of CWA/RHA jurisdiction over all of the waters, including wetlands at the project area, which
is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision. We recommend that you have the waters,
including wetlands on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland
delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps.
B. Approved Determination
☐ There are Navigable Waters of the United States within the above described project area/property subject to the permit
requirements of Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
(CWA)(33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for
a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
☐ There are waters, including wetlandson the above described project area/property subject to the permit requirements of Section
404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) (33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this
determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
☐We recommend you have the waters, including wetlands on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be
able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that
can be verified by the Corps.
☐The waters, including wetlands on your project area/property have been delineated and the delineation has been verified by
the Corps. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated DATE. We strongly
suggest you have this delineation surveyed. Upon completion, this survey should be reviewed and verified by the Corps. Once
SAW-2018-01789
verified, this survey will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWA jurisdiction on your property which, provided
there is no change in the law or our published regulations, may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years.
❑ The waters, including wetlands have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat signed by the
Corps Regulatory Official identified below onDATE. Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this
determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ There are no waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, present on the above described project area/property which are subject to the
permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published
regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ The property is located in one of the 20 Coastal Counties subject to regulation under the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA).
You should contact the Division of Coastal Management in Morehead City, NC, at (252) 808-2808 to determine their
requirements.
Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US, including wetlands, without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC § 1311). Placement of dredged or fill material, construction or
placement of structures, or work within navigable waters of the United States without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Sections 9 and/or 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33 USC § 401 and/or 403). If you have any questions
regarding this determination and/or the Corps regulatory program, please contact Steve Mchefski at 828-271-7980 ext. 4234 or
steven. kkichefski(a.usa ce. armv.mil.
C. Basis For Determination: Basis For Determination: See the preliminary jurisdictional determination
form dated 07/16/2020.
D. Remarks: None.
E. Attention USDA Program Participants
This delineation/determination has been conducted to identify the limits of Corps' Clean Water Act jurisdiction for the particular site
identified in this request. The delineation/determination may not be valid for the wetland conservation provisions of the Food Security
Act of 1985. If you or your tenant are USDA Program participants, or anticipate participation in USDA programs, you should request
a certified wetland determination from the local office of the Natural Resources Conservation Set -vice, prior to starting work.

1) The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review
area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option to request and obtain an
approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an informed decision after having discussed the
various types of JDs and their characteristics and circumstances when they may be appropriate.
2) In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a Nationwide General
Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre- construction notification" (PCN), or
requests verification for a non-reporting NWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant has
not requested an AJD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware that: (1) the permit
applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an official
determination of jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the option to request an AJD
before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit
authorization on an AJD could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being required or
different special conditions; (3) the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than
accepting the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4) the applicant
can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and conditions of that
permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5)
undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting an AJD
constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the PJD; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g.,
signing a proffered individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps
permit authorization based on a PJD constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the review area
affected in any way by that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and waives any challenge to such
jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement action, or in any
administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD
or a PJD, the JD will be processed as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, a proffered individual
permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be
administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an administrative appeal, it
becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic jurisdiction exists over
aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic
resources in the review area, the Corps will provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is
practicable. This PJD finds that there "may be" waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be"
navigable waters of the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the
review area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:

Project Description
The Honey Mill Mitigation Site is a stream mitigation project located in Surry County, approximately 5 miles south 0f
Mount Airy and 7 miles northeast of Dobson. The project will include restoration and enhancement of Venable Creek
and seven unnamed tributaries which Flow to the Ararat River for a total of 5,344 cold stream credits. Historically the
site has been used for agriculture. The site is currently used primarily for open and forested cattle pasture. Cattle
have full access to all site streams resulting in extensive erosion and incision. The project will provide stream
mitigation units to the Division of Mitigation Services in the Yadkin River Basin (03040101).

believes that the fair market value of the Conservation Easement is an amount equal to the Purchase Price; and (ii)
Buyer does not have the power of eminent domain.
3.10 Modification; Waiver. No amendment of this agreement will be effective unless it is in writing and
signed by the parties. No waiver of satisfaction of a condition or failure to comply with an obligation under this
agreement will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party granting the waiver, and no such waiver will
constitute a waiver of satisfaction of any other condition or failure to comply with any other obligation.
3.11 Attorneys' Fees. If either party commences an action against the other to interpret or enforce any of the
terms of this agreement or because of the breach by the other party of any of the terms of this agreement, the losing
party shall pay to the prevailing party reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses, court costs, litigation costs and any other
expenses incurred in connection with the prosecution or defense of such action, whether or not the action is prosecuted
to a final judgment.
3.12 Memorandum of Option Agreement. Concurrently with the signing of this agreement, Buyer and Seller
agree to sign a Memorandum of Option that will be recorded against the Property in the Register of Deeds in the County
stated in paragraph A within five days after the Effective Date.
3.13 Tax Deferred Exchange. If Seller desires to implement a tax -deferred exchange (the "Exchange") in
connection with Buyer's purchase of the Conservation Easement, the parties agree to cooperate in affecting the
Exchange. Seller is responsible for all additional costs associated with the Exchange and Buyer shall not have any
additional liability with respect to the Exchange. The parties will execute any additional documents required for the
Exchange at no cost to Buyer.

Buyer
Seller
Seller shall work together to identify the best location for the final route and to decide if the route shall remain after
construction of the project or not. Buyer shall leave the Construction Access Route in equal or better condition than it
existed prior to the start of construction activities, This paragraph survives Closing.
3.5 Liquidated Damages. Buyer recognizes that the Project Area will be removed by Seller from the market
during the term of the agreement. If the purchase of the Conservation Easement is not consummated due to Buyer's
default, the parties have determined and agreed that the actual amount of damages that would he suffered by Seller as
a result of that default would be very difficult or impracticable to estimate on the date of this agreement. As a result,
the parties agree that the Option Consideration as of the date of Buyer's default is sufficient to cover any estimated
damages that may be incurred by Seller. For these reasons, the parties agree that if the purchase of the Conservation
Easement is not consummated because of Buyer's default, Seller may retain the Option Consideration paid by Buyer as
of the date of Buyer's default as its sole remedy, and Seller waives any and all right to seek other rights or remedies
against Buyer, including without limitation, specific performance. Nothing stated in this paragraph shall preclude any
action under any indemnification or defense provision in this agreement, nor for the award of attorney's fees and costs
in conjunction with any action relating to this agreement.

the provisions of this Section, shall be addressed to the Parties in the manner stated below, and shall be conclusively
deemed properly delivered: (a) upon receipt when hand delivered during normal business hours; (b) upon the day of
delivery if the notice has been deposited in an authorized receptacle of the United States Postal Service as first-class,
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, with a return receipt requested; (c) one business day after the notice has
been deposited with either FedEx or United Parcel Service to be delivered by overnight delivery; or (d) if sent by email,
upon receipt of an acknowledgement email sent to the sender's email address in which the party receiving the email
notice acknowledges having received that email. An automatic "read receipt" is not acknowledgement for purposes of
this section 3.3. The addresses of the parties to receive notices are as follows:

Notifying the Service Under the Framework
Northern Long-Eared Bat 4(d) Rule Streamlined Consultation Form
Federal agencies (or designated non-federal representatives) should use the Northern Long-Eared Bat
4(d) Rule Streamlined Consultation form to notify the Service of their project and meet the
requirements of the framework.
Northern Long-Eared Bat 4(d) Rule Streamlined Consultation Form (Word document)
Information requested in the Northern Long-Eared Bat 4(d) Rule Streamlined Consultation Form serves
to
(1) notify the field office that an action agency will use the streamlined framework;
(2) describe the project with sufficient detail to support the required determination; and
(3) enable the USFWS to track effects and determine if reinitiation of consultation for the
4(d) rule is required. This form requests the minimum amount of information required for
the Service to be able to track this information.
Providing information in the Streamlined Consultation Form does not address section 7(a)(2)
compliance for any other listed species.

Northern Long-Eared Bat 4(d) Rule Streamlined Consultation Form
Federal agencies should use this form for the optional streamlined consultation framework for the northern long-
eared bat (NLEB). This framework allows federal agencies to rely upon the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s
(USFWS) January 5, 2016, intra-Service Programmatic Biological Opinion (BO) on the final 4(d) rule for the
NLEB for section 7(a)(2) compliance by: (1) notifying the USFWS that an action agency will use the streamlined
framework; (2) describing the project with sufficient detail to support the required determination; and (3) enabling
the USFWS to track effects and determine if reinitiation of consultation is required per 50 CFR 402.16.
This form is not necessary if an agency determines that a proposed action will have no effect to the NLEB or if
the USFWS has concurred in writing with an agency's determination that a proposed action may affect, but is not
likely to adversely affect the NLEB (i.e., the standard informal consultation process). Actions that may cause
prohibited incidental take require separate formal consultation. Providing this information does not address
section 7(a)(2) compliance for any other listed species.
Information to Determine 4(d) Rule Compliance:YES NO
1. Does the project occur wholly outside of the WNS Zone
1?܆ ܈
2. Have you contacted the appropriate agency
2 to determine if your project is near
known hibernacula or maternity roost trees?
܈ ܆
3. Could the project disturb hibernating NLEBs in a known hibernaculum? ܆ ܈
4. Could the project alter the entrance or interior environment of a known
hibernaculum?
܆ ܈
5. Does the project remove any trees within 0.25 miles of a known hibernaculum at
any time of year?܆ ܈
6. Would the project cut or destroy known occupied maternity roost trees, or any
other trees within a 150-foot radius from the maternity roost tree from June 1
through July 31.
܆ ܈
You are eligible to use this form if you have answered yes to question #1 or yes to question #2 and no to
questions 3, 4, 5 and 6. The remainder of the form will be used by the USFWS to track our assumptions in the
BO.

Please find attached the Farmland Conversion Impact rating evaluation for the Honey Mill Mitigation

I saw in your 09/19/2018 email that you sent one back in July. Looks like got lost in the system since
the last one I have from you is in July 20, 2018 for the Double H Farm. I apologize for any
inconvenience but sometimes happens. I’ve been telling our customer to double check with me, at
least, a week after the first email has been sent since it is not the first time it happens.
If I can be of further assistance please let me know.
Have a great evening!!

SUBJECT: Honey Mill Mitigation Site
Dear Ms. King:
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) received your July 30,
2018 letter regarding plans for a stream restoration project on unnamed tributaries to the Ararat River in
Surry County. You requested review and comment on any possible issues that might emerge with respect
to fish and wildlife associated with the project. Our comments on this project are offered for your
consideration under provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et. seq.) and Fish and
Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d).
Details were not provided in the letter on design nor the size of the project. The project is proposed as a
mitigation project and will involve stream enhancement and restoration.
This project should not impact wild trout resources. We recommend that riparian buffers that are to be
reestablished be as wide as possible, given site constraints and landowner needs. NCWRC generally
recommends a woody buffer of 100 feet on perennial streams to maximize the benefits of buffers,
including bank stability, stream shading, treatment of overland runoff, and wildlife habitat.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. Please contact me at (828) 803-
6054 if you have any questions about these comments.
Sincerely,
Andrea Leslie

• Wildlands Engineering Honey Mill Mitigation Site Technical Proposal dated March 28, 2018 (in response
to RFP #16-007406)
Meeting Notes
The meeting began at 9:00 AM. Shawn presented an overview of the Honey Mill Mitigation Site (Site) at the
parking location. From there, the group proceeded to walk the entire site in the following general order: UT1,
Venable Creek Reach 1, UT2A, UT2, UT3, UT4, Venable Creek Reach 2, UT5, and UT6. Detailed meeting minutes,
organized by stream reach, are presented on the following pages.
While IRT members agreed that the Site is suitable to provide compensatory stream mitigation and that stream
treatment(s) seemed appropriate, adjustments to credit ratios are expected. The IRT provided feedback
regarding credit ratios on the enhancement II reaches and these ratios are included in this memo. Wildlands and
DMS understand that final design approaches and crediting rationale must be fully justified in the mitigation
plan.
The meeting concluded at 12:00 PM.

HONEY MILL Mitigation Site
September 25, 2018 IRT Site Walk Meeting Notes
1. UT1 - Restoration
o UT1 will be restored, beginning at a culvert under Siloam Road and continuing to the confluence
with Venable Creek. Restoration will connect the channel to its floodplain.
o The group agreed that restoration is appropriate given the lack of pattern and bedform diversity
and erosion along the left bank.
2. Venable Creek Reach 1 - Restoration
o Todd and Mac noted that the section between the Little Mountain Church Road culvert and the
UT1 confluence looked geomorphically stable and fits better within an E-II approach. Wildlands
agreed to change this section to E-II.
o The channel begins to become incised downstream of the UT1 confluence. Todd and Paul
discussed the possibility of a 50’ – 100’ E-I transition section before restoration.
o The group agreed that the next section was most likely dug out along the left valley wall and spoil
cast into the middle of the valley. The group noticed the low point of the valley closer to the right
valley wall and Shawn said the new stream would try to follow the low point where feasible.
Periann suggested that the historic low point be pointed out and addressed in the mitigation plan.
o The banks along the lower section of Reach 1 become lower as its flows along a fence line.
Multiple cattle wallow areas have impacted the banks in this section.
o Mac and Todd remarked that the need for widespread restoration was not obvious on Reach 1.
Shawn noted that achieving priority 1 restoration is important and the transitioning back and forth
between restoration and incised E-II would not be feasible.
o Ultimately, the IRT agreed that restoration is valid from a point downstream of UT1 confluence to
the confluence with UT3 with a small transition of E1. (see figure).
3. UT2A – Enhancement II
o This reach will be fenced to exclude cattle. Cattle trails parallel the stream channel to the
upstream fence line.
o Todd questioned the validity of a 3:1 ratio given the presence of an existing wooded buffer. He
said that 2.5:1 is typically allowed for livestock exclusion and buffer restoration. Reference was
made to ongoing discussions between IRT, DMS, and providers about establishing guidelines for E-
II ratios that account for degree of cattle impact and presence of buffer. This point was discussed
for most of the reaches throughout the site.
o Shawn compared the absence of understory within the project limits and the full understory
upstream of the project where there are no cows. Todd mentioned that if understory buffer
restoration is claimed, then performance criteria for survival should be set.
o Todd and Andrea remarked that this reach was closer to a 5:1 ratio.
o Ultimately, the decision was made that 4:1 would be the ratio for this reach.
4. UT2
• Reach 1 – Enhancement II
o This reach flows through a wooded buffer similar to UT2A. Cattle will be fenced out of this reach.
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. page 3
HONEY MILL Mitigation Site
September 25, 2018 IRT Site Walk Meeting Notes
o Andrea remarked that supplemental planning would be beneficial between the woodline and the
confluence with UT2A.
o Ultimately, the decision was made that 4:1 would be the ratio for this reach.
• Reach 2 - Restoration
o The downstream section of UT2 has been heavily impacted by cattle. A new channel has formed
to flow around the cattle wallow area. A channel will be restored through this area.
o Todd and Mac noted that the cattle wallow area looked like a wetland and to be cautious when
designing a channel through it.
o The barn adjacent to the existing channel will be removed.
5. UT3 – Enhancement II
• Reach 1 – Enhancement II
o Cattle will be fenced out and a BMP will be installed at the upstream end. Some minor channel
work will also be needed at the upstream end.
o Shawn noted how widespread cattle impact was much more obvious during previous site visits.
o Mac said that the middle section of the reach looked stable and thought a 3:1 to 4:1 ratio was
valid.
o Shawn reiterated that sections of stable areas were combined with sections requiring more work
to develop reach-wide ratios.
o Ultimately, the decision was made that 3:1 would be the ratio for this reach.
• Reach 2 – Restoration
o The group agreed that restoration is warranted for the downstream reach of UT3. Moving the
channel back into the middle of the valley and connecting to a restored Venable Creek is
acceptable.
6. UT4 – Enhancement II
o This reach consists of cattle exclusion, spot bank stabilization, and a BMP at the upstream end to
stabilize the transition. A short section of channel work will be done at the downstream tie in with
Venable Creek.
o Todd noted that this reach exhibited the most cattle impact so far.
o Todd asked about the extent of planting. Shawn answered that planting will occur only where the
existing buffer is impacted for spot bank stabilization activities. Todd mentioned that it would be
helpful to show the spot bank treatment locations on a map.
o Ultimately, the decision was made that 3:1 would be the ratio for this reach.
7. Venable Creek Reach 2 – Enhancement II
o While there is minimal cattle impact and erosion on the upstream section of this reach, the
channel becomes more incised and instable as you walk downstream. Cattle will be excluded from
the entire reach and bank and bench grading will be implemented on the downstream section.
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. page 4
HONEY MILL Mitigation Site
September 25, 2018 IRT Site Walk Meeting Notes
o Todd questioned if it would be better to break the reach into shorter sections based on proposed
approaches as opposed to lumping it all together.
o Ultimately, the decision was made that 2.5:1 would be the ratio for this reach.
8. UT5 – Enhancement II
o A cattle wallow area has diverted flow from the old channel and has formed a new channel. Cattle
will be excluded from this reach and the flow will be re-established into the old channel. The
group agree that this is the best approach.
o Ultimately, the decision was made that 3:1 would be the ratio for this reach.
9. UT6
• Reach 1 – Enhancement II
o This reach begins at an eroded seep upstream and flows through a narrow valley. Cattle will be
excluded and spot channel stabilization will be implemented along this reach. A BMP will be
installed at the upstream end to stabilize the eroded seep.
o Ultimately, the decision was made that 3:1 would be the ratio for this reach.
• Reach 2 – Restoration
o Cattle impact has diverted stream flow away from the old channel. The stream now flows down a
cattle trail all the way to Venable Creek. This section will be restored to flow down the natural
valley.
o The group agreed with this approach.
Attached is a figure that updates approaches and ratios.
These meeting minutes were prepared by Aaron Earley October 8, 2018 and reviewed by Shawn Wilkerson on October 8,
2018 and represent the authors’ interpretation of events.

APPENDIX 7 – Invasive Species Treatment Plan
Honey Mill Mitigation Site Appendix 7
DMS ID No. 100083 Page 1
Appendix 7 Invasive Species Treatment Plan
Annual monitoring and semi-annual site visits will be conducted to assess the condition of the finished
project. These site inspections may identify the presence of invasive vegetation. If, during the
monitoring period, invasive species threaten the survivability of planted woody vegetation in an area
that exceeds 1% of the planted easement acreage, the invasive species shall be treated. Smaller areas
may be treated at the discretion of the project engineer and biologist, if deemed in the best interest of
the Site. Generally, the treatment plan shall follow the below guidelines in Table 1 for common invasive
species found in riparian areas; however, the treatment may be changed based on the professional
judgement of the project engineer and biologist. For invasive species not listed in the below table that
threaten the survivability of the planted woody vegetation, Wildlands shall notify DMS of the invasive
species observed and the plan for treatment prior to treating the species. All invasive species treatment
will be reported in the following year’s monitoring plan.
Table 1. Invasive Species Treatment – Honey Mill Mitigation Site
Invasive Species Recommended Removal Technique
Multiflora Rose
(Rosa multiflora)
Foliar treatment of large populations with 4% glyphosate solution. Cut stump treatment is
time consuming, though effective. Treat in spring/summer.
Autumn Olive
(Elaeagnus
umbellate)
Cut stump treatment with glyphosate (Aquaneat or other) is effective at controlling larger
individuals. Use 20% solution with non-ionic surfactant sprayed on stump with squirt
bottle immediately after cutting. Hack and squirt treatment is also effective using triclopyr
(Garlon 3A) at 5% solution. Use notched hatchet blade to create pocket for herbicide in
cambium layer. Basal bark treatment is an option. Basal bark is quicker treatment option
for large populations but usually +/- 50% efficacy and requires further treatment from
resprouts.
Japanese
Barberry
(Berberis
thunbergii)
Cut stump of larger individuals with 25-50% glyphosate solution (Aquaneat or other) with
non-ionic surfactant. Apply using paint brush immediately after cutting stump. Bag all
above ground material containing viable seeds and remove from site. Can also use
triclopyr (Garlon 3A or Garlon 4) in 25-50% solution. Apply using shoe polish bottle or
spray bottle immediately after cutting stump. Larger populations of immature individuals
use backpack sprayer with above concentrations of either chemical. Birds will readily
disperse seeds from mature bushes. Populations dynamics demand control of seed
bearing individuals to limit spread. Quite thorny and rampant. Naturalized in WNC
mountainous areas around Watauga, Ashe and Alleghany counties.
Honeysuckle
(Lonicera
japonica)
Small infestations of L. japonica can be pulled by hand. Monitor to remove any re-sprouts.
Care should be taken to bag and remove the plants, including mature fruits to prevent re-
establishment. Large infestations of L. japonica will usually require a combination of cut
stump and foliar herbicide treatments. Where vines have grown into the tree canopy, cut
each stem as close to the ground as possible. Treat the freshly cut surface of the rooted
stem with a 25 percent solution of glyphosate or triclopyr. Groundcovers of L. japonica can
be treated with a foliar solution of 2 percent glyphosate or triclopyr plus a 0.5 percent non-
ionic surfactant to thoroughly wet all the leaves.
Chinese Privet
(Ligustrum
sinense)
Wet leaves with one of the following herbicides in water with a surfactant: a glyphosate
herbicide as a 3-percent solution (12 ounces per 3-gallon mix) in the late fall or early winter
when safety to surrounding vegetation is desired, or elsewhere, Arsenal AC* as a 1-percent
solution (4 ounces per 3-gallon mix). Backpack mist blowers can broadcast glyphosate as a
3-percent solution (12 ounces per 3-gallon mix) or Escort XP* at 1 ounce per acre (0.2 dry
ounces per 3-gallon mix and 10 gallons per acre) during winter for safety to dormant
hardwoods. Summer applications of glyphosate may not be as effective as other times and
Honey Mill Mitigation Site Appendix 7
DMS ID No. 100083 Page 2
Invasive Species Recommended Removal Technique
require a higher percent solution. The best time for Arsenal AC* and Escort XP* is summer
to fall. For stems too tall for foliar sprays and when safety to surrounding vegetation is
desired, apply a basal spray of Garlon 4 as a 20-percent solution (5 pints per 3-gallon mix)
in a labeled basal oil product, vegetable oil or mineral oil with a penetrant, or fuel oil or
diesel fuel (where permitted); or undiluted Pathfinder II. Elsewhere, apply Stalker* as a 6-
to 9-percent solution (1.5 to 2 pints per 3-gallon mix) in a labeled basal oil product,
vegetable oil or mineral oil with a penetrant, or fuel oil or diesel fuel (where permitted) to
young bark as a basal spray making certain to treat all stems in a clump; or cut and
immediately treat the stump tops with Arsenal AC* as a 5-percent solution (20 ounces per
3-gallon mix) or Velpar L* as a 10-percent solution in water (1 quart per 3-gallon mix) with
a surfactant. When safety to surrounding vegetation is desired, immediately treat stump
tops and sides with Garlon 3A or with a glyphosate herbicide as a 20-percent solution (5
pints per 3-gallon mix) in water with a surfactant. ORTHO Brush-B-Gon and Enforcer Brush
Killer are effective undiluted for treating cut-stumps and available in retail garden stores
(safe to surrounding plants). For large stems, make stem injections using Arsenal AC* or
when safety to surrounding vegetation is desired, Garlon 3A or a glyphosate herbicide
using dilutions and cut-spacings specified on the herbicide label (anytime except March
and April). An EZ-Ject tree injector can help to reach the lower part of the main stem;
otherwise, every branching trunk must be hack-and-squirt injected.
Kudzu
(Pueraria
montana)
Small patches of P. montana that are not well-established can usually be eliminated by
persistent weeding, mowing, or grazing during the growing season. The spread of a well-
established infestation of P. montana can be controlled the same way, but cutting will
typically not kill the roots of larger plants. For vines in tree canopies, cut the vines near the
ground and apply a 50 percent solution of triclopyr to the stumps. This procedure remains
effective at lower temperatures as long as the ground is not frozen. Large infestations can
be effectively controlled with a foliar solution of 2 to 3 percent glyphosate or triclopyr plus
a 0.5 percent non-ionic surfactant to thoroughly wet all leaves. The ambient air
temperature should be above 65 degrees Fahrenheit. After the above ground vegetation is
controlled and it is possible to dig and cut into the central root crown, apply a 50 percent
solution of glyphosate or triclopyr to the wound. The most successful chemical control of P.
montana can be achieved with a foliar solution of 0.75 percent clopyralid plus a 0.5 percent
non-ionic surfactant. Monitor all treatments in subsequent years for re-sprouting.
Porcelain berry
(Ampelopsis
glandulosa var.
brevipedunculata)
The most effective chemical control of A. brevipedunculata has been achieved using
triclopyr formulations toward the end of the growing season when plants are transporting
nutrients to their roots. Apply a 2 percent solution of triclopyr plus a 0.5 percent non-ionic
surfactant to the foliage. Or cut the plants first, allow time for re-growth, and then apply
the herbicide mixture. A. brevipedunculata can also be killed with a mixture of 25 percent
triclopyr and 75 percent mineral oil applied to the basal parts of the stem to a height of 2
to 3 feet from the ground. This method should be used judiciously since it takes a lot of
chemical and can result in overspray. It has been used successfully in situations where no
other technique is feasible, such as cliff faces or other exposed sites.
Japanese Hops
(Humulus
japonicus)
Pre-emergent herbicide containing sulfometuron methyl (Oust XP) applied in early spring
causes minimal damage to established perennial vegetation. Mechanical control by cutting
or mowing as close to the ground as possible beginning in late spring and recurring
frequently until fall dieback is recommended. Post emergent herbicide treatment two
times a year (mid and late summer) to prevent the fall seed set is recommended.
Glyphosate provides good post-emergent chemical control. Hop seeds in the soil last up to
three years. Repeat treatments for two to three years should be expected, or longer in
areas subject to flooding that may receive influx of seeds from upstream infestations.
Cultural control methods which favor fast-growing tall tree species to create dense shade
Honey Mill Mitigation Site Appendix 7
DMS ID No. 100083 Page 3
Invasive Species Recommended Removal Technique
in spring and summer and canopy closure will discourage infestations, as Japanese hop
prefers direct sunlight and does not tolerate heavy shade.
Johnson Grass
(Sorghum
halepense)
Recommended control procedures:
Thoroughly wet all leaves with one of the following herbicides in water with a surfactant
(June to October with multiple applications applied to regrowth).
• Recommendation for mature grass control: apply Outrider* as a broadcast spray at 0.75
to 2 ounces per acre (0.2 to 0.6 dry ounce per 3-gallon mix) plus a nonionic surfactant to
actively growing Johnsongrass. For handheld and high-volume sprayers, apply 1 ounce of
Outrider per 100 gallons of water plus a nonionic surfactant at 0.25 percent. Outrider is a
selective herbicide that can be applied over the top of certain other grasses to kill
Johnsongrass, or apply Plateau as a 0.25-percent solution (1 ounce per 3-gallon mix) when
plants are 18 to 24 inches (45 to 60 cm) tall or larger.
• Recommendation for seedling control: apply Journey as a 0.3-percent solution (1.2
ounces per 3-gallon mix) before Johnsongrass sprouts and when desirable species are
dormant or apply a glyphosate herbicide as a 2-percent solution (8 ounces per 3-gallon
mix) directed at the infestation.
Mimosa
(Albizia julibrissin)
Trees: Make stem injections using Arsenal AC* or when safety to surrounding vegetation is
desired, Garlon 3A or Milestone in dilutions as specified on the herbicide label (anytime
except March and April). For felled trees, apply the herbicides to stump tops immediately
after cutting. ORTHO Brush-B-Gon and Enforcer Brush Killer are effective undiluted for
treating cut-stumps and available in retail garden stores (safe to surrounding plants).
Saplings: Apply a basal spray to young bark using Garlon 4 as a 20-percent solution (5 pints
per 3-gallon mix) in a labeled basal oil product, vegetable oil or mineral oil with a
penetrant, or fuel oil or diesel fuel (where permitted); or undiluted
Pathfinder II. Elsewhere, apply Stalker* as a 6- to 9-percent solution (1.5 to 2 pints per 3-
gallon mix) in a labeled basal oil product, vegetable oil, kerosene, or diesel fuel (where
permitted).
Resprouts and seedlings: Thoroughly wet all leaves with one of the following herbicides in
water with a surfactant:
From June to August, either Escort XP at 1 ounce per acre (0.2 ounces per 3-gallon mix)
plus a glyphosate herbicide as a 2-percent solution addition (8 ounces per 3-gallon mix) or
Milestone VM Plus at 6 to 9 pints per acre (1.5 to 3 pints per 3-gallon mix and 10 gallons
per acre).
From July to September, Transline* † or Milestone as a 0.25-percent solution plus Garlon
3A as a 4-percent solution (1 ounce plus 5 ounces per 3-gallon mix).
Princess Tree
(Paulownia
tomentosa)
Foliar Spray Method: This method should be considered for large thickets of paulownia
seedlings where risk to non-target species is minimal. Air temperature should be above
65°F to ensure absorption of herbicides.
Glyphosate: Apply a 2% solution of glyphosate and water plus a 0.5% non-ionic surfactant
to thoroughly wet all leaves. Use a low pressure and coarse spray pattern to reduce spray
drift damage to non-target species. Glyphosate is a non-selective systemic herbicide that
may kill non-target partially-sprayed plants.
Triclopyr: Apply a 2% solution of triclopyr and water plus a 0.5% non-ionic sur-factant to
thoroughly wet all leaves. Use a low pressure and coarse spray pattern to reduce spray
drift damage to non-target species. Triclopyr is a selective herbicide for broadleaf species.
In areas where desirable grasses are growing under or around paulownia, triclopyr can be
used without non-target damage.
Cut Stump Method: This control method should be considered when treating individual
trees or where the presence of desirable species precludes foliar application. Stump
treatments can be used if the ground is not frozen.
Honey Mill Mitigation Site Appendix 7

Invasive Species Recommended Removal Technique
Glyphosate: Horizontally cut stems at or near ground level. Immediately apply a 25%
solution of glyphosate and water to the cut stump making sure to cover the outer 50% of
the stump.
Triclopyr: Horizontally cut stems at or near ground level. Immediately apply a 50% solution
of triclopyr and water to the cut stump making sure to cover the outer 20% of the stump.

APPENDIX 9 – Maintenance Plan
Honey Mill Mitigation Site Appendix 9
DMS ID No. 100083 Page 1
Appendix 9 Maintenance Plan
The site shall be visited semi-annually and a physical inspection of the site shall be conducted a
minimum of once per year throughout the post-construction monitoring period for seven years. These
site inspections may identify site components and features that require routine maintenance. Routine
maintenance should be expected most often in the first two years following site construction and may
include the following:
Table 1. Maintenance Plan – Honey Mill Mitigation Site
Component/
Feature Maintenance through project close-out
Stream
Routine channel maintenance and repair activities may include chinking of in-stream
structures to prevent piping, securing of loose coir matting, and supplemental installations
of live stakes and other target vegetation along the channel – these shall be conducted
where success criteria are threatened or at the discretion of the Designer. Areas where
storm water and floodplain flows intercept the channel may also require maintenance to
prevent bank failures and head-cutting. Beaver activity will be monitored and beaver dams
on project streams will typically be removed, at the discretion of the Designer, during the
monitoring period to allow for bank stabilization and stream development outside of this
type of influence.
Vegetation
Vegetation shall be maintained to ensure the health and vigor of the targeted community.
Routine vegetation maintenance and repair activities may include supplemental planting,
pruning, mulching, and fertilizing. Exotic invasive plant species requiring treatment per the
Invasive Species Treatment Plan shall be treated using a combination of best professional
judgement and recommendations from that plan, in accordance with NC Department of
Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations.
Site boundary
Site boundaries shall be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between the
mitigation site and adjacent properties. Boundaries may be identified by fence, marker,
bollard, post, tree-blazing, or other means as allowed by site conditions and/or conservation
easement. Boundary markers disturbed, damaged, or destroyed will be repaired and/or
replaced on an as-needed basis.
APPENDIX 10 – Financial Assurance
Honey Mill Mitigation Site Appendix 10
DMS ID No. 100083 Page 1
Appendix 10 Financial Assurances
Pursuant to Section IV H and Appendix III of the Division of Mitigation Service’s In‐Lieu Fee Instrument
dated July 28, 2010, the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources has provided
the US Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington District with a formal commitment to fund projects to
satisfy mitigation requirements assumed by DMS. This commitment provides financial assurance for all
mitigation projects implemented by the program.
APPENDIX 11 – Credit Release Schedule
Honey Mill Mitigation Site Appendix 11
DMS ID No. 100083 Page 1
Appendix 11 ‐ Credit Release Schedule and Supporting Information
All credit releases will be based on the total credit generated as reported in the approved final
mitigation plan, unless there are discrepancies which indicate additional credits may be warranted, in
which case an addendum will be proposed to the IRT. Under no circumstances shall any mitigation
project be debited until the necessary Department of the Army (DA) authorization has been received for
its construction or the District Engineer (DE) has otherwise provided written approval for the project in
the case where no DA authorization is required for construction of the mitigation project. The DE, in
consultation with the Interagency Review Team (IRT), will determine if performance standards have
been satisfied sufficiently to meet the requirements of the release schedules below. In cases where
some performance standards have not been met, credits may still be released depending on the
specifics of the case. Monitoring may be required to restart or be extended, depending on the extent to
which the site fails to meet the specified performance standard.
The following conditions apply to the credit release schedules:
A. A reserve of 10% of a site’s total stream credits will be released after four bankfull events have
occurred, in separate years, provided the channel is stable and all other performance standards
are met. In the event that less than four bankfull events occur during the monitoring period,
release of these reserve credits is at the discretion of the IRT.
B. For mitigation banks, implementation of the approved Mitigation Plan must be initiated no later
than the first full growing season after the date of the first credit transaction (credit sale).
C. After the second milestone, the credit releases are scheduled to occur on an annual basis,
assuming that the annual monitoring report has been provided to the USACE in accordance with
the General Monitoring Requirements, and that the monitoring report demonstrates that
interim performance standards are being met and that no other concerns have been identified
on‐site during the visual monitoring. All credit releases require written approval from the
USACE.
D. The credits associated with the final credit release milestone will be released only upon a
determination by the USACE, in consultation with the NCIRT, of functional success as defined in
the Mitigation Plan.
The schedules below list the updated credit release schedules for stream and wetland mitigation
projects developed by bank and ILF sites in North Carolina:

Year 7 monitoring report demonstrates that channels are stable,

(100%***)
*For ILF sites (including all NCDMS projects), no initial release of credits (Milestone 1) is provided because ILF
programs utilized advance credits, so no initial release is necessary to help fund site construction. To account for
this, the 15% credit release associated with the first milestone (bank establishment) is held until the second
milestone, so that the total credits release at the second milestone is 30%. In order for NCDMS to receive the
30% release (shown in the schedules as Milestone 2), they must comply with the credit release requirements
stated in Section IV(I)(3) of the approved NCDMS Instrument.
**Please note that vegetation data may not be required with monitoring reports submitted during these
monitoring years unless otherwise required by the Mitigation Plan or directed by the NCIRT.
***10% reserve of credits to be held back until the bankfull event performance standard has been met.

Contractor shall notremove pump-around systems and advance to the nextwork area until the current work area is completed andstabilized. If flow is not sufficient at the time ofconstruction to cause sedimentation to downstreamwaters, pump-around operations will not be required. Inthese cases, rock silt check dams will be installed near thedownstream extent of the work area for the current phase.Contractor shall take measures necessary to ensure thatstorm flows do not damage work areas or createsedimentation of aquatic habitat.4.Locations for staging, stockpile areas, and stream crossingshave been provided. Additional or alternative stagingand/or stockpile areas and stream crossings may be utilizedby the Contractor provided that all practices comply withthe North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control Planningand Design Manual, that the areas are located within thepermitted limits of disturbance, and that the areas areapproved by Engineer prior to implementation.5.The Engineer will field walk the site with the Contractorprior to work beginning and field flag vegetation to be usedas transplant material. Vegetation to be used as transplantmaterial (juncus, alders, small trees, and sod mats) shallnot be disturbed until Contractor is prepared to installtransplants.6.Contractor shall not exceed the limits of disturbance shownon the plans.7.Various types of constructed riffles and cascades arespecified on the plans. Contractor will build the specifictypes of constructed riffles and cascades at locationsshown on the plans. Changes in type or riffle or cascademust be approved by the Engineer.8.Topsoil will be harvested, stockpiled, and reapplied to theextent that it is encountered.9.Soil amendment is discussed in the permanent seedingspecification. Amendments will be applied to assist withgrass establishment and tree growth in some or alldisturbed areas. The limits of application will bedetermined by the Engineer in the field.10.Leaf litter will be harvested form adjacent wooded areasand applied to the project site. The contractor will be paidbased on area of coverage. The contractor will be expectedto harvest leaf litter until supply has been exhausted fromreasonably accessible areas adjacent to the site.Construction Sequence1.The Contractor shall coordinate with Engineer to setupmeeting with regional (Winston-Salem) NCDEQ office forpre-construction SEC meeting.2.Contact North Carolina "ONE CALL" Center(1.800.632.4949) before any excavation.3.Mobilize equipment and materials to the site.4.Identify and establish construction entrances, staging andstockpile areas, temporary access roads, erosion andsediment control practices, and stream crossings asindicated on the plans for work areas.5.Set up temporary facilities, locate equipment withinstaging areas, and stockpile materials needed for the initialstages of construction within stockpile area(s).6.Install and maintain onsite rain gauge and log books forNPDES and SEC permit requirements.7.Construction shall progress from upstream to downstream.Active construction areas shall not flow to completedconstruction areas to prevent sedimentation of recentconstructed habitat. The only exception to this ispermanent stream crossings, which may be installed at theend of construction to prevent loading by BMPs at theupstream extent of tributaries shall be constructed beforedownstream channel work. Detailed constructionsequencing shall be determined by the Contractor and theContractor shall provide a schedule to the Engineer prior tocommencement.8.Perform any necessary clearing and grubbing in phases aswork progresses. Bank vegetation and vegetationimmediately adjacent to live channels shall be leftundisturbed as long as possible.9.A pump-around system is required when working in the livestream. Install impervious dikes at upstream anddownstream ends of pump-around locations. Thepump-around operation shall be performed between thesedike locations.10.Perform excavation and grading of channel and floodplain.11.Stockpile soil as necessary. Ensure that erosion andsediment control practices are properly installed andfunctioning in stockpile areas as shown on the Erosion andSediment Control Plan (SEC Plan).12.Construct in-stream structures and install riffle and cascadefeatures according to plans, details, and specifications asconstruction progresses.13.Seed and/or sod, mat, and mulch banks and floodplainareas according to plans and details.14.Once disturbed areas and exposed slopes are stabilized,remove pump-around system, if used, and progress to thenext phase.15.Backfill abandoned channel sections with stockpiled soil. Allnon-native, invasive species shall be treated and/orremoved from the old channel prior to backfilling.16.Seed and mulch or sod any backfill sections beforeproceeding to next phase.17.Once all phases of channel, floodplain, and wetlandconstruction are complete, prepare the floodplain forplanting per the specifications.18.Remove temporary stream crossings, stockpile areas, anderosion and sediment control practices.19.Apply temporary and permanent seed, mulch, andvegetation in the floodplain.20.Ensure that the site is free of trash, debris, and any leftoverconstruction materials prior to demobilization.21.Demobilize grading equipment from the site.22.Seed, mulch and stabilize staging areas and stockpile areas.23.Demobilize all equipment, offices, buildings, and otherfacilities assembled on the site.
