Integrated Current Condition Plan View 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY / PROJECT ABSTRACT The Trout Cove Branch and Tributary Stream Restoration Site are located in Clay County, North Carolina within the Hiwassee River Basin. The stream was designed and implemented under a North Carolina Clean Water Management Trust Fund (CWMTF) grant in June of 2002. Funds were transferred from the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) to the CWMTF in 2004 and the project was first monitored by NCEEP in 2005 to service mitigation needs in the cataloging unit (CU). Based on available data, the actual restored length is approximately 3,120 linear feet for Trout Cove Branch and 888 linear feet for the unnamed tributary. As this was a CWMTF project of that time period, the designer did not resurvey the profile after construction and therefore a geomorphological as-built was not produced. The first geomorphological measurement point was generated in 2005 after transfer to NCEEP, with 2008 representing Monitoring Year 4 (MY 4). Geomorphology and vegetation data collected in 2008 were repeated for those monitoring locations established in 2005. Two additional longitudinal profile monitoring reaches were established in 2008. Additionally, based on 2008 visual observations and data some cross section classification types (riffles and pools) were reclassified in MY 4 as compared to nomenclature utilized in previous monitoring reports. Based on the available data, stream profiles have remained relatively stable between monitoring years. The two main issues on the project mainstem had to do with pool aggradation and structural piping. All other metrics indicated performance percentages averaging between 93 and 100%. The extent of pool aggradation is likely the result of historic low flows preventing pool scour and sediment transport. Approximately half the structures surveyed had some level of piping, but the visual observations and the profile indicate no significant or systemic loss of grade. While two aforementioned stability or structural parameters appear to have shifted substantially between MY 3 and MY 4, field observations and discussion with NCEEP made it apparent that these differences may have been more an artifact of data compilation discrepancies in prior submissions and differences in visual thresholds between performers as opposed to a sudden shift in project performance variables. The MY 4 vegetation monitoring indicates that the project meets the established criteria for planted stem density, which is a minimum survival of 320 stems per acre at the end of Year 3 of the monitoring period. Average stem density for planted stems in MY 4 is approximately 428 stems per acre. However, when planted and natural stems are combined, the average stem density is 775 stems per acre, which is well above the minimum established criteria. While there were differences in data collection methodologies between years, the MY 4 indicates a 31 % increase in total stem density since MY 3. Vegetation problem areas consist of bare bench and floodplain areas as well as isolated invasive/exotic species throughout the easement area. While the stem densities and vigor are good, the site does exhibit a few, small isolated bare bench areas and also has approximately 10 currently isolated patches of high threat invasive plant species that span the project extent.

Project No. 388 May 2009 Monitoring Year 4 of 5 2.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND 2.1 Project Objectives Project objectives were not explicitly stated in a mitigation plan since the original funding sources and monitoring requirements were not established by the NCEEP for the Trout Cove Branch and Tributary restoration project. NCEEP will attempt to acquire a plan document from the Natural Resource Conservation Services or CWMTF that delineates the project objectives. If documentation is acquired, project objectives will be included in next year's report. 2.2 Project Structure, Restoration Type, and Approach Prior to restoration, both Trout Cove Branch and the unnamed tributary had been impacted by past land uses including grazing, mowing, channelization, and other maintenance activities (HRWC). Stream reaches lacked riparian corridors and exhibited severe bank erosion with stream bank heights ranging from 1 to 6 feet. The streams were classified as unstable B5 stream types. Soil loss for Trout Cove Branch was estimated at 170 tons per year prior to restoration. Stream restoration methods were based on natural channel design methodologies as proposed by Rosgen (1996). The approach included channel realignment to restore pattern, dimension, and profile in keeping with a reference condition. It also included installation of rock vanes and root wads for the vertical and lateral stability in this B type step pool channel. The completed restoration included approximately 4,008 linear feet of stream restoration and associated riparian re-vegetation (Table 1 a & 1 b). Table Ia.

The constraints and results of the vegetation and stream assessment are discussed in the following sections and referenced figures and tables. 3.1 Vegetation Assessment Vegetation monitoring data collected on July 9, 2008 and August 19, 2008 meet the established success criteria for plant density, which is the minimum survival of 320 stems per acre at the end of Year 3 of the monitoring period. Average stem density for both planted and natural stems in MY 4 is approximately 775 stems per acre. Using the overall site stem density of 590 stems per acre stated in the MY 3 report, there was an approximately 31% increase in stem density between MY 3 and 4. This increase is principally attributed to the accounting in MY 4 of natural stems and six additional species, some of which were previously observed, but not included in Table 5 (Appendix A) of the MY 3 final report. These species include American hop-hornbeam (Ostrya virginiana), Black gum (Nyssa sylvatica), Box elder (Acer negundo var. negundo), Black cherry (Prunus serotina var. serotina), Tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), and Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia). In contrast, there were several species listed in the MY 3 report that were not relocated in MY 4 and therefore were labeled as missing. Furthermore, vegetation monitoring plots 3 and 7 had low total stem densities and do not meet the established success criteria as indicated in Appendix D - Integrated Current Condition Plan View. Nevertheless, if natural stems are excluded from average site stem density calculations, there are still approximately 428 planted stems per acre, which is a 34% higher stem density than the minimum requirement. Due to differences in monitoring methodologies between MY 3 and MY 4 several assumptions and modifications were made in MY 4 in order to implement the CVS-EEP Level II sampling protocol (Lee et al. 2006). First, photo point locations (plot origins) were georeferenced, flagged, and marked with indelible marker. These points will be the location for reference photographs during subsequent monitoring years. Reference photographs were taken from the origin facing the opposite, diagonal plot corner. For each plot, x and y coordinates and other required data were recorded for all stems in accordance with the CVS-EEP Protocol. Second, several different colors of flagging tape were previously used to mark plant stems, but the significance of the colors were unknown. All previously flagged stems were assumed to be planted and were re-marked with pink flagging tape and any un-marked stems that occurred in the plot were flagged with blue and white tape, and are believed to be new recruits from the past monitoring year. Lastly, several trees of Tag alder (Alnus serrulata), Black locust, and Red maple (Acer rubrum var, rubrum) were previously flagged, but did not occur within the bounds of plots 3, 4, 5, and 6. Taxonomic nomenclature follows Weakley (2008). See Appendix A for vegetation data tables. 3.1.1 Vegetation Problem Areas Vegetation problem areas identified in MY 4 included bare bench and floodplain areas as well as isolated invasive/exotic species throughout the easement area (Appendix A - Table A6). Vegetative growth at four stream bench locations is stunted and appears to be related to poor soil Trout Cove Branch Final 9 Equinox Environmental Consultation and Design, Inc. Project No. 388 May 2009 Monitoring Year 4 of 5 substrate. The bare floodplain problem areas noted are the result of unauthorized mowing and livestock fencing extending into the easement area. An additional problem was identified during the final site visit in November 2008. Mary Jo Deck, one of the existing landowners, indicated that the electrical company recently attempted to mow the existing power line crossings along the upper portion of the project site. A small area was mowed within the easement area prior to the landowners stopping progress. This issue will need to be resolved to prevent potential impacts to the riparian vegetation in proximity to the existing power line crossings. The most significant change in vegetation problem areas between MY 4 and previous monitoring efforts is associated with the extent of invasive/exotic species noted in 2008. The MY 4 efforts documented isolated, dense patches of Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) and Multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora). In particular, Japanese honeysuckle largely accounted for the vine strangulation reported in four of the seven monitoring plots. The species most negatively affected by vine strangulation were Silky dogwood (Cornus amomum) and Tag alder. 3.1.2 Vegetation Problem Area Plan View See Appendix D - Integrated Current Condition Plan View. 3.2 Stream Assessment 3.2.1 Morphometric Criteria Morphological assessments of Trout Cove Branch and the unnamed tributary reaches were conducted on October 6 through 7 and on November 23, 2008. Longitudinal profile monitoring was increased in 2008 to include a middle survey reach as well as profile measurements for the unnamed tributary. Longitudinal profiles were surveyed for 2,807 linear feet for Trout Cove Branch and 189 linear feet for the tributary. Due to drought conditions in 2008, water surface data collection was limited to the Lower and Middle reaches. Cross-sectional data were collected for the five previously established locations on Trout Cove Branch. In general, the 2008 stream profiles for the Upper and Lower reaches remained similar to previous data collection efforts. It appears that previous monitoring reports combined pattern and profile measurements for the Upper and Lower survey reaches while data collected in 2008 were calculated for each individual reach. Based on MY 4 visual observations and data, some cross section classification types (riffles and pools) were reclassified in MY 4 as compared to nomenclature utilized in previous monitoring reports. Cross section 2 previously classified as a riffle is clearly within the scour zone below a step and was reclassified as a pool. Cross sections 3 and 5 previously classified as pools are not influenced by the scour zone of a structure and therefore were reclassified as riffles. While the calculated cross sectional values reported in 2008 appear variable from previous monitoring results, these differences are associated with different bankfull elevation identification between monitoring years and are not the result of systemic trends in bed movement. The cross sectional plot overlays illustrate that bed form has remained within the variability and sensitivity tolerances expected. Trout Cove Branch Final 10 Equinox Environmental Consultation and Design, Inc. Project No. 388 May 2009 Monitoring Year 4 of 5 3.2.2 Hydrologic Criteria Based on the on-site crest gauge reading and old wrack lines within the floodplain area, there appears to have been a bankfull event between MY 3 and the initial site visit in MY 4 (Table 5). The crest gauge was reset and checked during additional site visits and no additional bankfull events were documented during MY 4. Table 5.

Problem areas were primarily associated with stressed or failing engineered structures, which have resulted in areas of bank erosion and stream aggradation. Table B 1 in Appendix B provides categorical feature issues by station, the suspected cause, and denotes the number of a representative photo. 3.2.6 Numbered Issue Photos See Appendix B for photo examples of stream problem areas. 3.2.7 Fixed Station Photos See Appendix B for fixed photo station photos. 3.2.8 Stream Stability Assessment A visual stability assessment was conducted for both the Trout Cove Branch and the tributary reach during the initial site assessments on June 27 and July 9, 2008, and again on October 8, 2008. The 2008 stream stability assessment for the unnamed tributary represents the first year of data collection for this reach. While the 2008 visual morphological stability Reach 1 table illustrate significant declines in performance for some feature categories (pools and vanes), this change from previous monitoring years may be associated with data compilation discrepancies in prior reports as well as visual assessment thresholds between monitoring performers rather than a sudden shift in stream stability. Additionally, historic low flow conditions have likely caused a Trout Cove Branch Final 1 l Equinox Environmental Consultation and Design, Inc. Project No. 388 May 2009 Monitoring Year 4 of 5 reduction in sediment transport resulting in increased deposition within the pool scour zones. Additionally, while these two feature categories appear to have significantly declined between years, profile measurements indicated no significant or systemic change in grade. Data collected during the visual stability assessment for Trout Cove Branch and the unnamed tributary reach are included in Table 6 below and in Appendix B - Table B.2.

Trout Cove Branch Final 22 Equinox Environmental Consultation and Design, Inc. Project No. 388 May 2009 Monitoring Year 4 of 5 4.0 Methodology The stream monitoring methodologies utilized in 2008 were intended to replicate those employed during previous monitoring years and are based on standard guidance and procedures documents (Rosgen 1996 and USACOE 2003). Vegetation monitoring followed the standard CVS-EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation, Level II (Lee et al. 2006). Any deviations from MY 3 vegetation monitoring methodologies are stated in Section 3.1, Vegetation Assessment. Trout Cove Branch Final 23 Equinox Environmental Consultation and Design, Inc.
