The Bank is located within the Neuse River Basin in 14 -digit United States Geological Survey (USGS) Cataloging Unit and Targeted Local Watershed 03020201150050 of the South Atlantic /Gulf Region (North Carolina Division of Water Quality [NCDWQ] Subbasin Number 03- 04 -04). The Bank is expected to offset unavoidable impacts associated with projects located within 8 -digit Cataloging Unit 03020201. The Bank encompasses 65.62 acres of agricultural land utilized for livestock grazing, row crop production, and forest. Kennedy Mill Branch and unnamed tributaries to Kennedy Mill Branch, as well as 31.0 acres of hydric soil and existing wetlands were restored or enhanced within the Bank. Kennedy Mill Branch and its tributaries are not listed on the NCDWQ final 2012 303(4) list; however, the Neuse River (Stream Index Number 27- (49.5a) less than 1.5 miles downstream of the Bank is listed in the final 2012 303(4) list for a standard violation reducing aquatic life integrity as the result of turbidity levels (NCDWQ 2012). This project is expected to improve turbidity and aquatic habitat within the watershed and downstream receiving waters. The primary goals of this stream and wetland project focused on improving water quality, enhancing flood attenuation, and restoring aquatic and riparian habitat to Kennedy Mill Branch and its tributaries, wetlands, and floodplains. Sediment from eroding banks is deleterious to benthic macroinvertebrate habitat and can be expected to reduce fisheries populations in the existing and downstream reaches. As constructed, mitigation activities will create wildlife and fish habitat, shade /cool surface waters (thereby increasing dissolved oxygen levels), filter nutrients, reduce sedimentation, reduce downstream flooding, and increase bed morphology (habitat) through maintenance of perpendicular flow vectors. The primary goals were accomplished through the following measures. Improving Water Quality • Removing nonpoint sources of pollution associated with agricultural activities including a) removal of livestock from streams, stream banks, wetlands, and floodplains; b) eliminating the application of fertilizer, pesticides, and other agricultural materials into and adjacent to streams and wetlands; and c) establishing a vegetative buffer adjacent to streams and wetlands to treat surface runoff, which may contain pollutants such as sediment and /or agricultural pollutants from the adjacent landscape. • Reducing sedimentation onsite and downstream by a) reducing bank erosion associated with hoof shear and vegetation maintenance and b) planting a diverse woody vegetative buffer adjacent to Kennedy Mill Branch and associated unnamed tributaries to Kennedy Mill Branch. • Providing shallow wetland marsh treatment areas to intercept surface waters draining through agricultural areas prior to discharging into Bank streams and wetlands. Monitoring Baseline Document and Asbuilt Report Executive Summary Pancho Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank Enhancing Flood Attenuation • Promoting floodwater attenuation by a) reconnecting bankfull stream flows to the abandoned floodplain terrace, b) restoring secondary, entrenched tributaries thereby reducing floodwater velocities within smaller catchment basins, c) restoring depressional floodplain wetlands, resulting in increased storage capacity for floodwaters within the Bank, and d) revegetating the Bank's floodplains to increase frictional resistance on floodwaters crossing the Bank. Restoring Aquatic Resources and Riparian Habitat • Reestablishing stream stability and the capacity to transport watershed flows and sediment loads by restoring stable dimension, pattern, and profile supported by natural in- stream habitat and grade /bank stabilization structures. • Improving aquatic habitat by promoting stable stream banks, shading open waters, and providing in- stream structures within the Bank. • Providing wildlife habitat corridors within fragmented parcels in the Neuse River watershed. Project construction and planting was completed between December 2012 and April 2013. The Bank's plan included 1) construction of a stable, riffle -pool stream channel, 2) restoration of braided stream systems, 3) restoration /enhancement of historic wetland functions, 4) enhancement of water quality functions (reduced nonpoint source sedimentation and nutrient inputs), 5) restoration of a native woody riparian buffer (at least 50' wide) along Bank streams, 6) restoration of wildlife habitat associated with a riparian corridor /stable stream, and 7) establishment of a permanent conservation easement which will encompass all restoration activities. The implemented mitigation is as follows. After completion of construction, the Bank offers 8419 Stream Mitigation Units and 29.9 Riparian Wetland Mitigation Units.

Sediment from eroding banks is deleterious to benthic macroinvertebrate habitat and can be expected to reduce fisheries populations in the existing and downstream reaches. As construction, mitigation activities will create wildlife and fish habitat, shade /cool surface waters (thereby increasing dissolved oxygen levels), filter nutrients, reduce sedimentation, reduce downstream flooding, and increase bed morphology (habitat) through maintenance of perpendicular flow vectors. The primary goals were accomplished through the following measures. Improving Water Quality • Removing nonpoint sources of pollution associated with agricultural activities including a) removal of livestock from streams, stream banks, wetlands, and floodplains; b) eliminating the application of fertilizer, pesticides, and other agricultural materials into and adjacent to streams and wetlands; and c) establishing a vegetative buffer adjacent to streams and wetlands to treat surface runoff, which may contain pollutants such as sediment and /or agricultural pollutants from the adjacent landscape. • Reducing sedimentation onsite and downstream by a) reducing bank erosion associated with hoof shear and vegetation maintenance and b) planting a diverse woody vegetative buffer Monitoring Baseline Document and Asbuilt Report Page 1 Pancho Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank adjacent to Kennedy Mill Branch and associated unnamed tributaries to Kennedy Mill Branch. • Providing shallow wetland marsh treatment areas to intercept surface waters draining through agricultural areas prior to discharging into Bank streams and wetlands. Enhancing Flood Attenuation • Promoting floodwater attenuation by a) reconnecting bankfull stream flows to the abandoned floodplain terrace, b) restoring secondary, entrenched tributaries thereby reducing floodwater velocities within smaller catchment basins, c) restoring depressional floodplain wetlands, resulting in increased storage capacity for floodwaters within the Bank, and d) revegetating the Bank's floodplains to increase frictional resistance on floodwaters crossing the Bank. Restoring Aquatic Resources and Riparian Habitat • Reestablishing stream stability and the capacity to transport watershed flows and sediment loads by restoring stable dimension, pattern, and profile supported by natural in- stream habitat and grade /bank stabilization structures. • Improving aquatic habitat by promoting stable stream banks, shading open waters, and providing in- stream structures within the Bank. • Providing wildlife habitat corridors within fragmented parcels in the Neuse River watershed. 1.3 Project Structure, Restoration Type, and Approach 1.3.1 Project Structure Prior to construction, the Bank was cleared of native forest vegetation; streams were relocated, ditched, and straightened; and groundwater hydrology was lowered due to agricultural ditching and entrenchment of Bank streams. Land use practices resulted in degraded water quality, unstable channel characteristics (stream entrenchment, erosion, and bank collapse), and reduced storage capacity. 1.3.2 Restoration Type and Approach As constructed, Bank restoration activities resulted in the following. • Providing 8419 stream mitigation units by the following. • Restoring approximately 5311 linear feet of stream channel through priority I construction of stable channels, thereby reestablishing stable dimension, pattern, and profile. • Restoring approximately 1285 linear feet of braided stream channel by redirecting stream flows into a braided, backwater slough. • Enhancing (Level I) approximately 803 linear feet of stream channel by removing invasive species, protecting desirable hardwood trees greater than 4 inches in diameter at breast height to the maximum extent possible, restoring overbank flooding /hydrodynamics by raising the bed elevation, sloping channel banks, altering channel slopes to reduce bank erosion, modifying woody debris in channels to promote habitat, and supplementally planting where necessary. Monitoring Baseline Document and Asbuilt Report Page 2 Pancho Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank o Enhancing (Level 11) approximately 3221 linear feet of stream channel by improving floodplain access, providing bank stabilization in highly eroded portions of the channel, and removing invasive species adjacent to the channel. Providing 29.9 wetland mitigation units by the following. • Restoring approximately 29.0 acres of riparian wetlands by reconstructing stream channels within the historic floodplain, filling agricultural ditches, removing livestock and row crop production, rehydrating floodplain soils, and planting with native woody vegetation. • Enhancing approximately 1.5 acres of riparian wetlands by 1) supplementally planting areas high - graded for lumber production or 2) removing livestock and planting with native forest vegetation. • Preserving approximately 0.5 acres of existing forested riparian wetlands. Planting a native woody riparian buffer adjacent to restored /enhanced streams and wetlands within the Bank. • Protecting the Bank in perpetuity with a conservation easement. Completed project activities, reporting history, completion dates, project contacts, and project attributes are summarized in Tables 1 -4 (Appendix A). Monitoring Baseline Document and Asbuilt Report Page 3 Pancho Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank 2.0 SUCCESS CRITERIA 2.1 Streams Priority I Restoration Kennedy Kennedy Mill Branch, Main Tributary, UTs 5 -6 Performance standards for channels where work includes construction of pattern, dimension, and /or profile (e.g., Priority I Restoration) shall be in accordance with the Stream Mitigation Guidelines, dated April 2003, listed below. These stream systems, which include Kennedy Mill Branch, the Main Tributary, and UTs 5 -6 on the Monitoring Plan View (Figure 2, Appendix A), are subject to the performance standards listed below. 1. Photo reference sites should show no substantial aggradation, degradation, or bank erosion. 2. Channel stability (monitored using cross - sections, longitudinal profiles, and photographic documentation of substrate) should demonstrate no more than minimal evidence of instability (down- cutting, deposition, bank erosion, or increase in sands or finer substrate material). Braided Stream Restoration (UT7) and Single- threaded Stream Restoration within Wetland Complex (UTs 1 -2) Stream channels associated with the project that do not involve construction of pattern, dimension, and /or profile were generally designed in accordance with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) guidance document Information Regarding Stream Restoration with Emphasis on the Coastal Plain, Version 2, dated April 4, 2007. Development of streams in these systems will be achieved through the reestablishment of braided stream morphology through passive measures, including ditch filling, and natural progression of the stream through historic sloughs, braids and channels (UT7 on the Monitoring Plan View [Figure 2, Appendix A]) or the construction of single - threaded channels consisting of shallow (0.2 -foot in depth) depressions that will promote the development of stream features in a Juncus dominated wetland area (UTs 1 -2 on the Monitoring Plan View [Figure 2, Appendix A]). These stream systems are subject to the performance standards listed below. 1. Under normal climatic conditions, continuous surface water flow within the valley or crenulation must be documented to occur every year for at least 30 consecutive days within each monitoring year during the prescribed monitoring period (7 years). Additional monitoring and /or analysis may be necessary in the event of abnormal climatic conditions. Documentation of flow shall be accomplished using flow meters and photographic evidence of observed flow taken from fixed photo stations located along the path of flow. 2. Evidence of channel formation within the valley or crenulation must be documented through the identification of field indicators on an annual basis in accordance with the following schedule: a. During monitoring years 1 through 4, the preponderance of documented field indicators must demonstrate the accumulation of flow within the topographic low -point of the valley or crenulation. Documented indicators may include any of the following indicators or any of the indicators listed in Part b: Monitoring Baseline Document and Asbuilt Report Page 4 Pancho Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank i. Presence of litter and debris (wracking) indicating surface water flow; ii. Leaf litter disturbed or washed away; iii. Matted, bent, or absence of vegetation (herbaceous or otherwise) indicative of surface flow; iv. Sediment deposition and/or scour indicating sediment transport by flowing water; v. Water staining due to continual presence of water. b. During monitoring years 5 through 7, the preponderance of documented field indicators must demonstrate the accumulation of flow within the topographic low -point of the valley or crenulation (documented by field indicators listed in Part a) and the development of a primary path of flow, stream channel, or ordinary high water mark. Documented indicators may include any of the following: i. Formation of channel bed and banks; ii. Sediment sorting indicated by grain -size distribution within the primary path of flow; iii. Sediment shelving or a natural line impressed on the banks; iv. Change in plant community (absence or destruction of terrestrial vegetation and /or transition to species adapted for flow or inundation for a long duration, including hydrophytes) v. Development of channel pattern (meander bends and /or channel braiding) at natural topographic breaks, woody debris piles, or plant root systems; vi. Exposure of woody plant roots within the primary path of flow; vii. Changes in soil characteristics (when compared to the soils abutting the primary path of flow). Enhancement (Level I) Reaches Kennedy Mill Branch, Main Tributary (upper reaches) Performance standards for Enhancement (Level I) reaches shall be similar to Restoration performance standards; however, these channels would be expected to aggrade over time as sediment moves into, and through the reach. These stream systems, including the upper, forested reaches of Kennedy Mill Branch and the Main Tributary immediately upstream of Priority 1 restoration areas (Figure 2, Appendix A), are subject to the performance standards listed below. 1. Photo reference sites should show no substantial bank erosion. 2. Channel stability (monitored using cross - sections and photographic documentation) should demonstrate no more than minimal evidence of instability (down- cutting and bank erosion). 3. Linear transects within the adjacent buffer will be used to determine if enhancement efforts result in mortality of existing, forested vegetation. 4. Crest gauge should show connection of the channel with the floodplain for the downstream portions of the enhancement (level I) channels. Monitoring Baseline Document and Asbuilt Report Page 5 Pancho Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank Enhancement (Level II) Reaches Kennedy Mill Branch, Main Tributary Performance standards for enhancement (level II) reaches shall be commiserate with the proposed functional uplift. Similar to enhancement (level I) reaches, these channels would be expected to aggrade over time as sediment moves into, and through the reach. Enhancement (level II) reaches, including the upper, forested reaches of Kennedy Mill Branch and the Main Tributary immediately upstream of Enhancement (level I) areas (Figure 2, Appendix A), are subject to the performance standards listed below. 1. Photo reference sites should show no substantial bank erosion. 2. Channel stability (monitored using cross - sections and photographic documentation) should demonstrate evidence of improved stability over existing conditions. 3. Crest gauge should show limited connection of the channel with the floodplain for the downstream portions of the enhancement (level II) channels. These channels will remain incised and are expected to show limited connection with the adjacent floodplain. Bankfull Events Documentation of at least two bankfull events within the monitoring period must occur, in separate years; in the event that only one bankfull event occurs or if bankfull events occur in the same monitoring year, release of remaining credit for bankfull events will be subject to Interagency Review Team (IRT) approval. Stream Substrate Stream substrate is not expected to coarsen over time; therefore, pebble counts are not proposed as part of the stream success criteria. Visual Assessments of Structures Visual assessment of in- stream structures will be conducted to determine if failure has occurred. Failure of a structure may be indicated by collapse of the structure, undermining of the structure, abandonment of the channel around the structure, and /or stream flow beneath the structure. 2.2 Vegetation Success criteria have been established to verify that the vegetation component supports community elements necessary for forest development. Success of vegetation criteria at the Bank indicates successful restoration of riparian habitat within and adjacent to aquatic stream and wetland resources as well as improvement of overall water quality resulting from the treatment of surface water and a reduction of sedimentation. Success criteria are dependent upon the density and growth of characteristic forest species throughout planted areas of the Bank including the Mesic -Mixed Hardwood Forest and Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwoods (brownwater subtype) communities. An average density of 320 living, planted stems per acre must be surviving in the first three monitoring years. Subsequently, 260 living, planted stems per acre in year 5, and 210 living, planted stems per acre in year 7. No single volunteer species (most notably red maple, loblolly pine, and sweet gum) will comprise more than 20 percent of the total composition. If this occurs, remedial procedures /protocols outlined in the contingency plan will be implemented. If, within the first 3 years, any species exhibits greater Monitoring Baseline Document and Asbuilt Report Page 6 Pancho Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank than 50 percent mortality, the species will either be replanted or an acceptable replacement species will be planted in its place as specified in the contingency plan. 2.3 Wetland Hydrology According to the Soil Survey of Wayne County, the growing season for Wayne County in Goldsboro is from March 17- November 14 (USDA 1974). However, for purposes of this project gauge hydrologic success will be determined using data from February 1- November 14 to more accurately represent the period of biological activity. Success of hydrology criteria at the Bank indicates successful restoration of aquatic riparian wetland resources and enhanced floodwater attenuation as well as improvement of overall water quality resulting from the removal of livestock. Target hydrological characteristics include saturation or inundation for a minimum of 9 percent of the monitoring period (February 1- November 14), during average climatic conditions. During years with atypical climatic conditions, data from a groundwater gauge(s) in a reference wetland will be available for use by the USACE and the IRT to evaluate hydrology success. Based on groundwater modeling, consecutive groundwater hydrology within an early successional restoration site is typically approximately 75 percent of that in a mature, forested reference site. These areas are expected to support hydrophytic vegetation and hydric soils; a jurisdictional determination may be performed to provide this additional information to the USACE and the IRT. In addition, "vernal pool" features resulting from small pockets of open channel remaining after plugging and filling existing channels should account for less than 10 percent of the overall wetland area. Monitoring Baseline Document and Asbuilt Report Page 7 Pancho Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank 3.0 MONITORING PLAN Monitoring of the Bank will conform to guidelines established in Information Regarding Stream Restoration with Emphasis on the Coastal Plain —Draft (USACE et al. 2007) and Stream Mitigation Guidelines (USACE et al. 2003). Monitoring data collected at the Bank should include reference photos, plant survival analysis, hydrology analysis, channel stability analysis, documentation of bankfull events, and biological data. Prior to the installation of all monitoring gauges and sampling plots, proposed numbers and locations were submitted to the USACE for approval. Wetland hydrology, the stream channel, and vegetation are proposed to be monitored for a period of seven years (years 1 -7). If monitoring demonstrates the Bank is successful by year 5 and no concerns have been identified, Restoration Systems, LLC may propose to terminate monitoring at the Bank and forego monitoring requirements for years 6 and 7. This provision is only applicable if the Bank has consistently met all performance standards, and at year 5 met the year 5 vegetation density standards (260 plants /acre) and the year 7 average height requirement of 10 feet. Early closure will only be provided through written approval from the USACE in consultation with the IRT. Monitoring will be conducted by Axiom Environmental, Inc. Annual monitoring reports of the data collected will be submitted to the IRT no later than December 31 of each monitoring year. 3.1 Streams Priority I Restoration Reaches Kennedy Mill Branch, Main Tributary, UTs 5 -6 Annual monitoring will include development of channel cross - sections on riffles and pools, and a water surface profile of the channel in priority I stream restoration reaches. The data will be presented in graphic and tabular format. Data to be presented will include 1) cross - sectional area, 2) bankfull width, 3) average depth, 4) maximum depth, 5) width -to -depth ratio, and 6) water surface slope. A photographic record of preconstruction and post - construction pictures will also be compiled. Braided Stream Restoration (UT7) and Single- threaded Stream Restoration within Wetland Complex (UTs 1 -2) Annual fall monitoring will include documentation of channel surface flow (a minimum of 30 consecutive days) and fixed photograph locations in the braided stream restoration reach (UT7) and single- threaded stream restoration within wetland complexes (UTs 1 -2). Evidence of channel formation within the valley will be documented annually in monitoring years 1 -4. Field indicators such as wracking, disturbance of leaf litter, matted or absent vegetation, sediment deposition and /or scour, and water staining due to the continual presence of water will be noted and photographed. In monitoring years 5 -7 documented field indicators of channel formation must demonstrate the accumulation of flow in the topographic low -point of the valley with development of a primary path of flow, stream channel, or ordinary high water marks. Enhancement (Level I) Reaches Kennedy Mill Branch and Main Tributary Annual monitoring will include development of channel cross - sections on riffles and pools in enhancement (level I) stream reaches. The data will be presented in graphic and tabular format. Monitoring Baseline Document and Asbuilt Report Page 8 Pancho Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank Data to be presented will include 1) cross - sectional area, 2) bankfull width, 3) average depth, 4) maximum depth, and 5) width -to -depth ratio. A photographic record of preconstruction and post - construction pictures will also be compiled. In addition, linear transects will be monitored adjacent to the stream enhancement (level I) reach to access any existing mature tree mortality due to changes in hydrology. This information will be reported in the annual monitoring report but will not be tied to performance standards. Enhancement (Level II) Reaches Kennedy Mill Branch and Main Tributary Annual monitoring will include development of channel cross - sections on riffles and pools in enhancement (level II) stream reaches. The data will be presented in graphic and tabular format. Data to be presented will include 1) cross - sectional area, 2) bankfull width, 3) average depth, 4) maximum depth, and 5) width -to -depth ratio. A photographic record of preconstruction and post - construction pictures will also be compiled. Bankfull Events Bankfull events will be documented throughout the monitoring period. 3.2 Vegetation Restoration monitoring procedures for vegetation are designed in accordance with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) guidelines enumerated in Mitigation Site Type (MIST) documentation (USEPA 1990), Compensatory Hardwood Mitigation Guidelines (DOA 1993), Stream Mitigation Guidelines (USACE 2003), and CVS -EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation Level 1 -2 Plot Sampling Only (Version 4.0) (Lee et al. 2006). A general discussion of the restoration monitoring program is provided. A photographic record of plant growth should be included in each annual monitoring report. After planting was completed in early spring, an initial evaluation was performed to verify planting methods and to determine initial species composition and density. Supplemental planting and additional Bank modifications were determined to not be necessary. During the first year, vegetation will receive a cursory, visual evaluation on a periodic basis to ascertain the degree of overtopping of planted elements by nuisance species with quantitative sampling occurring between September 1 and September 30. Subsequently, quantitative sampling of vegetation will be performed between June 1 and September 30 for each growing season until the vegetation success criteria are achieved. During quantitative vegetation sampling in early fall of the first year 10 sample plots (10 meters by 10 meters) were randomly placed within the Bank. Best professional judgment may be necessary to establish vegetative monitoring plots upon completion of construction activities. In each sample plot, vegetation parameters to be monitored include species composition and species density. 3.3 Wetland Hydrology After construction, 21 groundwater monitoring gauges and 3 surface water gauges were installed to measure hydrological modifications performed at the Bank. Hydrological sampling will continue throughout the growing season at intervals necessary to satisfy jurisdictional hydrology success Monitoring Baseline Document and Asbuilt Report Page 9 Pancho Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank criteria within each wetland restoration area (USEPA 1990). According to the Soil Survey of Wayne County, the growing season for Wayne County in Goldsboro is from March 17- November 14 (USDA 1974). However, for purposes of this project gauge hydrologic success will be determined using data from February 1- November 14 to more accurately represent the period of biological activity. Soil temperatures will be collected in late January /early February of each monitoring year, and will be reported in the annual monitoring report. 3.4 Biotic Community Changes Changes in the biotic community are anticipated from a shift in habitat opportunities as tributaries are restored. In- stream, biological monitoring is proposed to track changes during the monitoring period. The benthic macroinvertebrate community will be sampled using NCDWQ protocols found in the Standard Operating Procedures forBenthic Macro invertebrates (NCDWQ 2006) and Benthic Macro invertebrate Protocols for Compensatory Stream Restoration Projects (NCDWQ 2001). Biological sampling of benthic macroinvertebrates will be used to compare preconstruction baseline data with postconstruction restored conditions. Three benthic macroinvertebrate monitoring locations will be established within restoration reaches (two established within restoration reaches and one monitoring location established within an upstream enhancement reach of Kennedy Mill Branch [Figure El. Appendix E]). Postrestoration collections will occur in the approximate location of the prerestoration sampling. Benthic macroinvertebrate samples will be collected from individual reaches using the Qual -4 collection method. Sampling techniques of the Qual -4 collection method consist of kick nets, sweep nets, leaf packs, and visual searches. Preproject biological sampling occurred on June 1, 2010; postproject monitoring will occur in June of each monitoring year. Identification of collected organisms will be performed by personnel with NCDWQ or by a NCDWQ certified laboratory. Other data collected will include D50 values/NCDWQ habitat assessment forms. Monitoring Baseline Document and Asbuilt Report Page 10 Pancho Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank 4.0 MAINTENANCE AND CONTINGENCY In the event that success criteria are not fulfilled, a mechanism for contingency will be implemented. Stream In the event that stream success criteria are not fulfilled, a mechanism for contingency will be implemented. Stream contingency may include, but may not be limited to 1) structure repair and /or installation; 2) repair of dimension, pattern, and /or profile variables; and 3) bank stabilization. The method of contingency is expected to be dependent upon stream variables that are not in compliance with success criteria. Primary concerns, which may jeopardize stream success include 1) structure failure, 2) headcut migration through the Bank, and /or 3) bank erosion. Structure Failure: In the event that a structure is compromised and no longer maintains grade control function, the affected structure will be repaired, maintained, or replaced. Once the structure is repaired or replaced, it must function to stabilize adjacent stream banks and /or maintain grade control within the channel. Structures which remain intact, but exhibit flow around, beneath, or through the header /footer will be repaired by excavating a trench on the upstream side of the structure and reinstalling filter fabric in front of the pilings. Structures which have been compromised, resulting in shifting or collapse of header /footer, will be removed and replaced with a structure suitable for Bank flows. Headcut Migration Through the Bank: In the event that a headcut occurs within the Bank (identified visually and /or through mapping and measurements, provisions for impeding headcut migration and repairing damage caused by the headcut will be implemented. Headcut migration may be impeded through the installation of in- stream grade control structures (rip -rap sill and /or log cross -vane weir) and /or restoring stream geometry variables until channel stability is achieved. Channel repairs to stream geometry may include channel backfill with coarse material and stabilizing the material with erosion control matting, vegetative transplants, and /or willow stakes. Bank Erosion: In the event that severe bank erosion occurs within the Bank, resulting in elevated width -to -depth ratios, contingency measures to reduce bank erosion and width -to -depth ratio will be implemented. Bank erosion contingency measures may include the installation of log -vane weirs and /or other bank stabilization measures. If the resultant bank erosion induces shoot cutoffs or channel abandonment, a channel may be excavated which will reduce shear stress to stable values. Vegetation If vegetation success criteria are not achieved based on average density calculations from combined plots over the entire restoration area, supplemental planting will be performed with tree species approved by regulatory agencies. Supplemental planting will be performed as needed until achievement of vegetation success criteria. Hydrology Hydrological contingency will require consultation with hydrologists and regulatory agencies if wetland hydrology enhancement is not achieved. Floodplain surface modifications, including construction of ephemeral pools, represent a likely mechanism to increase the floodplain area in support of jurisdictional wetlands. Recommendations for contingency to establish wetland hydrology will be implemented and monitored until Hydrology Success Criteria are achieved.
