DMS Project ID No. 100083/ DEQ Contract#007619
Dear Mr. Phillips:
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. (Wildlands) has reviewed the Division of Mitigation Services(DMS) comments
from the Draft Year 1 Monitoring Report for the Honey Mill Mitigation Site that were received on January
31,2022.The report has been updated to reflect those comments.The Final MY1 Report is included. DMS'
comments are listed below in bold. Wildlands' responses to DMS' comments are noted in italics.
DMS'comment:Add the RFP issuance date to the report cover.
Wildlands'response: The RFP issuance date of December 7, 2017, has been added to the report cover.
DMS' comment: Please reference the January 3rd approval for the 2.5 acres of proposed replanting in
the executive summary. Consider adding an adaptive management section to the report to detail any
additional efforts required to assess any concerns specific to this issue beyond routine stem counts.Will
supplemental evaluation be conducted to validate the success of the replanted areas of are soil samples
being submitted for laboratory analysis?
Wildlands'response: The date of approval has been added to the executive summary.
As stated in the MY1 report for Honey Mill's Mitigation Site, the 2.5 acres of supplemental planting will
be conducted only within in wetland areas and/or areas of the floodplain which are trending much
wetter than previously anticipated. The Site's planting list for implementation after construction did not
contain a good mix of bareroot species tolerant to wet or saturated soil conditions, especially facultative
species with a wetland indicator status of FACW or OBL. The determination for our proactive approach to
supplementally plant with species more conducive to wetland and wetland type conditions was to
address a planting oversight for the proposed areas, prevent potential stem mortality, and keep
vegetation densities and vigor within the floodplain thriving. Therefore, Wildlands used professional
judgement to determine the necessary course of action, rather than developing an adaptive
management plan for replanting an area under the minimum replanting threshold or conducting
laboratory soil analysis. Neither of which would likely provide any additional, necessary information than
what was presented in the MY1 report.
Wildlands is not planning to provide any supplemental evaluation of the replanting areas. Currently,
Wildlands conducts site-wide reviews of the project area, as well as vegetation plot monitoring
throughout the open planted areas. With 5 permanent vegetation plots located within the replanted
areas and 4 mobile plots that will be relocated throughout the open planted areas within the riparian
corridor, the replanted areas will be sufficiently monitored.Additionally, when the NC IRT approved our

proposed species list, there was no mention of needing any additional monitoring nor providing an
adaptive management plan.
DMS'comment: Please indicate in Section 1.4.2 if any previous invasive treatments were conducted in
the areas of concern being treated this dormant season. Are the invasives resprouts, seedlings or
areas not previously treated?
Wildlands'response: The following sentence has been added to section 1.4.2 for clarification: These areas
of invasives are present in the existing forested areas have not been previously treated at this stage of the
project. All areas of invasives are scheduled to be treated before the onset of the 2022 growing season.
DMS' comment: Please include an outline showing the approximate 2.5-acre replanting areas on the
CCPV Figures.
Wildlands'response: Figures have been updated to show the wetland supplemental planting area.
DMS' comment:Add the date the visual assessments were conducted to the top of each visual
assessment table.
Wildlands'response: The date has been added to all visual assessment tables.
Digital Support File Comments:
DMS'comment: Please submit the features that characterize the random vegetation plots in the
digital deliverables.
Wildlands' response: Digital deliverables have been updated to add the random vegetation plot feature
class.
DMS' comment:There were several issues noted with the vegetation table and supporting data:
1. Please ensure that the submitted input workbook for the veg tool supports the table included in the
report. The differences between the data and report table occur with the random plots.This appears
to be caused by blank height values in the submission. Please explain why there are blank height cells
for random plots.
2. Be sure to include each year's random plot data in the random plot sheets so that the vegetation
performance standards summary table includes these data.
3. Please do not change the color coding of the output-this color coding is based on the 2016 IRT
guidance for vegetation performance standards and it is monitoring year specific.
4. Note that in the input template Nyssa Sylvatica and Nyssa sylvatica are both used since the drop-
down list was overwritten. Please correct this so that only Nyssa sylvatica is included (e.g., lowercase
species name).
Wildlands'response: Wildlands has re-entered the random vegetation plot data. The black height values
were present to show that the stems were missing rather than confirmed dead. However, the raw data
and summary table have been updated to show only the stems that were confirmed present in MY1 with
height values. The raw data now matches the performance standards summary table. The color coding
has been updated to the IRT guidance and the species have been updated using the dropdown list.
As requested, Wildlands has included two (2) hard copies of the final report, a full final .pdf copy of the
report with the DMS comment letter and our response letter inserted after the cover page, and a full
final electronic submittal of the support files.A copy of the DMS comment letter and our response letter

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. (Wildlands) implemented a full-delivery stream mitigation project at the
Honey Mill Mitigation Site (Site)for the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality(DEQ)
Division of Mitigation Services (DMS).The project restored and enhanced a total of 8,683 linear feet
(LF) of perennial and intermittent stream in Surry County, NC.The Site is located within the Rutledge,
Stoney and Flat Shoal Creek—Ararat River targeted local watershed (TWL)and NC Division of Water
Resources (DWR) Subbasin 03-07-03.The project is providing 4,793.432 cool stream mitigation units
(SMUs)for the Yadkin River Basin Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03040101110020.
The Site's immediate drainage area as well as the surrounding watershed has a long history of
agricultural activity.The project excludes livestock, creates stable stream banks, converts pasture to
forest, and implements BMPs to filter agricultural runoff. These actions address stressors by reducing
fecal, nutrient, and sediment inputs to project streams, and ultimately to the Ararat River, and
reconnect instream and terrestrial habitats on the Site to upstream and downstream resources.
Approximately 20.2-acres of land has been placed under permanent conservation easement to protect
the Site in perpetuity.The established project goals include:
• Improve stream channel stability,
• Treat concentrated agricultural run-off,
• Improve in-stream habitat,
• Restore and enhance native floodplain and wetland vegetation,
• Exclude livestock from streams,and
• Permanently protect the project site from harmful uses.
The Site's construction and as-built survey were completed between February- May 2021. Planting of
the Site and installation of monitoring features occurred in late February 2021. Fencing installation was
completed in May 2021. In Monitoring Year 1 (MY1), the Site has met the required stream success
criteria.The average planted stem density is 379 stems/acre and is on track to meet the MY3
requirements. Seventy-nine percent of vegetation plots met criteria.The three vegetation plots with low
stem densities are located in either wetland areas or areas trending wetter than anticipated; therefore,
Wildlands proposed voluntarily replanting these areas within the restored riparian corridor
(approximately 2.5 acres) with more wetland tolerant species to the IRT.The supplemental wetland
planting was approved by the IRT January 3, 2021 and the correspondence is available in Appendix G. In
addition to these areas, Wildlands will supplementally plant approximately 7.0 acres of the established
riparian forest as initially outlined in the Site's Mitigation Plan (Wildlands, 2020) and subsequent MVO
IRT Comment Response Letter dated 12/7/21. All supplemental planting areas will be conducted in
2022, prior to the onset of the growing season. No bankfull events were documented during MY1.The
MY1 visual assessment identified four invasive vegetation areas of concern within the wooded
enhancement II reaches.These areas will be treated in MY2.

1.1 Project Quantities and Credits
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. (Wildlands) implemented a full-delivery stream mitigation project at
the Honey Mill Mitigation Site (Site)for the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality
(DEQ) Division of Mitigation Services (DMS).The project restored and enhanced a total of 8,683
linear feet(LF) of perennial and intermittent stream in Surry County, NC.The Site is located within
the Rutledge, Stoney and Flat Shoal Creek—Ararat River targeted local watershed (TWL)and NC
Division of Water Resources (DWR) Subbasin 03-07-03. A conservation easement has been
recorded and is in place on 20.2 acres.The project is providing 4,793.432 cool stream mitigation
units (SMUs)for the Yadkin River Basin Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03040101110020.The Site
contains eight unnamed tributaries (UTs)to Venable Creek(UT1, UT2, UT2A, UT2B, UT3, UT4, UT5,
and UT6) and the mainstem of Venable Creek, which has been broken into four reaches and flows
in a north easterly direction through the site. Multiple riparian wetlands exist on-site, however, no
credit is being sought for project wetlands.
Please refer to Table 1 and Table 1.1 for project credits by stream and the credit summary table
respectively. Annual monitoring will be conducted for seven years with close-out anticipated to
commence in 2027 given the success criteria are met.

1.2 Project Goals and Objectives
The Site is providing numerous ecological benefits within the Yadkin River Basin. The Site was selected
based on its potential to support the objectives and goals of multiple conservation and watershed
planning documents such as the 2009 Upper Yadkin River Basin Restoration Priorities (RBRP) and the
2015 North Carolina Wildlife Resource Communion's (NCWRC) Wildlife Action Plan (WAP).Table 2 below
describes the project goals and how functional uplift at the site will be measured and monitored.

1.3 Project Attributes
The Site's immediate drainage area as well as the surrounding watershed has a long history of
agricultural activity. Stream and wetland functional stressors for the Site were related to both
historic and current land use practices. Major stream stressors for the Site pre-restoration included
livestock trampling and fecal coliform inputs, lack of stabilizing stream bank and riparian
vegetation, active erosion, and incision.The effects of these stressors resulted in channel
instability, degraded water quality, and the loss of both aquatic and riparian habitat throughout
the Site's watershed when compared to reference conditions.
The overall Site topography consists of steep, confined, and moderately confined valleys along the
tributaries and flow into a more open and gradually sloped valley along the mainstem of Venable
Creek.The project begins at a roadway culvert located 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 the 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.
Pre-construction conditions are outlined in Table 3 below and Table 8 of Appendix C.

1.4 Monitoring Year 1 Data Assessment
Annual monitoring for MY1 was conducted between October and December 2021, with hydrology data
collected between January and December 2021.The stream, vegetation, and hydrologic success criteria
for the Site follows the approved success criteria presented in the Honey Mill Mitigation Plan (Wildlands,
2020).
1.4.1 Vegetation Assessment
The overall planted density for the Site in MY1 was 379 stems/acre, exceeding the MY3 monitoring
requirement of 320 stems per acre.The planted stem density in the permanent vegetation plots (VP)
ranged from 202 stems/acre to 526 stems/acre.VP5 and VP6 exceed MY3 requirements, but by less
than 10%. Permanent plots VP4 and VP9, with a planted stem density of 202 stems/acre and 243
stems/acre respectively, did not meet the MY3 monitoring requirement. Both plots are located in
areas where soil saturation is probably the contributing factor to the high mortality in the plots. VP4
is located in an existing wetland. VP9 was established in the floodplain of Venable Creek Reach 4 and
its confluence with UT6, however,the implementation of priority I restoration along UT6 likely raised
the water and resulted in wetter than expected floodplain conditions.
The overall MVO planted density for mobile vegetation plots ranged from 81 stems/acre to 607
stems/acre. The mobile vegetation plot(MVP) 1, with a low planted stem density of 81 stems/acre,
was also located just outside of an existing wetland.This area is also trending wetter than
anticipated, and wetland vegetation was outcompeting the planted stems in this area of the
floodplain. All other mobile vegetation plots were on track meet the MY3 planted stem density
requirements. Summary data are located in Appendix B and photographs of each plot are located in
Appendix A.

area.These occupied less than 2%of the easement and are located within the mature forests along UT2
and at its confluence with UT2A, UT3, and UT6, as shown on Figures la - ld. On UT3 and UT6, invasives
consist of a low density of individual, mature stems of Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) mixed within
the existing wooded areas.The areas on UT2, UT2A, and UT6 consist of a diffuse number of individual
stems of multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora),Japanese barberry(Berberis thunbergii), and Chinese privet
throughout the mapped polygons, at a low density.These areas of invasives are present in the existing
forested areas have not been previously treated at this stage of the project. All areas of invasives are
scheduled to be treated before the onset of the 2022 growing season. See Table 5 in Appendix A.
Mapped Encroachment Areas per IRT Request
There are three areas of easement encroachment that were identified at baseline conditions.These
areas are included on the Current Condition Plan View(CCPV) maps per the request of the IRT in the
MVO comments dated 12/7/21 in Appendix G.Two of the areas are located at the culvert crossing on
UT2 and consist of the pipe extending into the easement upstream and downstream of the crossing.The
other mapped encroachment area is a 10-foot-wide farm path that extends into the left floodplain
boundary of the easement.Though all of the encroachments were documented and discussed during
baseline conditions, the IRT has requested that they remain on the CCPV maps throughout the seven-
year monitoring period.
Wetland Supplemental Planting
During the MY1 vegetation plot survey and visual assessment of the Site, Wildlands noted multiple
areas within existing wetlands and areas the restored floodplain that are trending wetter than
anticipated. While these areas are not currently areas of concern with either low stem density or
poor vigor, Wildlands plans to supplementally plant with species more conducive to wetland and
wetland type conditions. Wildlands is hoping that this early proactive action will offset areas of non-
wetland species mortality, allow woody wetland species to become established early in the
monitoring period, and keep vegetation densities and vigor within the floodplain thriving.
Additionally, this will address low stem densities in permanent and mobile vegetation plots identified
in MY1 and as previously discussed in Section 1.4.1.
As mapped on Figure 2.0 in Appendix F, the total area to be planted will consist of approximately 2.5
acres and include a mixture of six bareroot and three live stake species occupying approximately 12%of
the easement area. Species and their quantities are shown in Table 14.Though a wetland planting list
was not specifically included in the approved Honey Mill Mitigation Plan (Wildlands, 2020), six of the
nine species were included as part of the riparian and stream bank planting plans with only three of the
wetland species were not originally included. The additional species are Elderberry(Sambucus
canadensis), Button bush (Cephalanthus occidentalis), and Tag Alder (Alnus serrulata). On December 12,
2021, Wildlands requested approval for these additional species in an email to the IRT.The species were
approved in a reply email on January 3, 2022. Please see Appendix F for the full list of the proposed
species and approval correspondence.
Shaded Supplemental Planting per IRT Request
During construction, several pockets of non-forested areas within the wooded buffer were identified
throughout the Site but were limited to the enhancement reaches of UT3, UT4, and UT6 that were
cleared as part of construction, rather than planting the open areas throughout Site's wooded buffer as
Honey Mill Mitigation Site

Monitoring Year 1 Annual Report—FINAL 1-7
outlined in the Mitigation Plan (Wildlands, 2020).Though this was a modification, Wildlands took the
approach of redistributing the same quantity of bare roots but at the higher density(12' vs. 25').
Since this modification was not approved, the IRT, as outlined in their comments for the MYO report
(2021), is requiring Wildlands to implement the original agreed upon planting plan or the credit ratios
would be adjusted prior to the next credit release.Therefore, Wildlands will plant the remainder of the
shaded buffer from the approved mitigation plan prior to the onset of the 2022 growing season.This will
consist of approximately 7 acres and will include species from previously approved planting lists.The
only substitution will be Slippery Elm (Ulmus rubra)for Tulip Poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera). See
Appendix F for the planting list and densities, as well as the locations of the supplemental planting areas
on the enhancement reaches demarcated in a red hatch.
1.4.3 Stream Assessment
Riffle cross-sections (XS) on the restoration reaches should be stable and show little change in bankfull
area, maximum depth ratio, and width-to-depth ratio. All riffle cross-sections should fall within the
parameters defined for the designated stream type. If any changes do occur, these changes will be
evaluated to assess whether the stream channel is showing signs of instability. Indicators of instability
include a vertically incising thalweg and/or eroding channel banks.
Morphological surveys for MY1 were conducted in December 2021. Cross-section survey results indicate
that channel dimensions are stable and functioning as designed on all restoration reaches with minimal
adjustments from MYO to MY1. Minor changes occurring within riffles XS8 and XS11 include slight
decreases in cross-sectional areas, mean depths, and decreased bank height ratios.These minor
changes can be attributed to the establishment of herbaceous vegetation along the tops of banks, slight
bed deposition, and the channel naturally narrowing through natural adjustments.
Pebble counts were conducted in March of 2021 during the MYO data collection and were included in
the as-built report (Wildlands, 2021). However, based on a DMS Technical Workgroup memo from
10/19/21 and concurrence received on 11/18/2021 from the DMS project manager for Honey Mill,
pebble count collection is no longer required for the project from MY1—MY7.Therefore, pebble counts
will not be conducted during the remaining monitoring years unless requested by the IRT or deemed
necessary based on best professional judgement. A copy of the DMS Technical Workgroup Memo and
the email confirmation from the DMS project manager (Personal communication, Phillips 2021) are
located in Appendix G.
1.4.4 Stream Hydrology Assessment
An automated pressure transducer was installed on Venable Creek Reach 3 to document bankfull events
throughout the seven-year monitoring period. Henceforth, this device is referred to as a "crest gage
(CG)."At the end of the seven-year monitoring period,four or more bankfull flow events must have
occurred in separate years.
There were no recorded bankfull events during the first year of monitoring.The 30th and 70th percentile
data were collected from the Mount Airy 2 W, WETS station for years 1971-2020.The Site received an
annual precipitation of 35.67 inches which was an average amount of precipitation for this area.
However, the precipitation totals were only 20%greater than the 30th percentile of 32.45 inches. In
years with higher precipitation bankfull events are likely to occur. Please refer to Appendix D for
hydrology summary data and gage plots.

1.4.5 Stream Areas of Concern and Management Activity
There were no stream areas of concern mapped during the final MY1 visual assessment on 12/7/21.The
streams appear stable and functioning with vegetation developing on the channel banks, and no areas
of scour or erosion were noted.The visual assessment tables are located in Appendix A.
1.5 Monitoring Year 2 Summary
Overall,the Site has met the required stream success criteria for MY1.The average planted stem density
is 379 stems/acre, and the Site is on track to meet the MY3 requirement of 320 stems per acre. VP4,
VP9, and MVP1 were all located in wetland areas within the floodplain and are individually not meeting
stem density requirements. Wildlands recognizes that the approved mitigation plan planting list had
many upland species; however, there are areas within the restored riparian corridor trending wetter
than originally anticipated.Therefore, Wildlands is voluntary adding supplemental wetland species in
these areas for a total of 2.5 acres. Wetland supplemental planting will be conducted before the onset
of the 2022 growing season. Per the MVO IRT Comment Response Letter dated 12/7/21, Wildlands will
also plant the remainder of the shaded buffer from the approved mitigation plan, as described in
Section 1.4.2.All supplemental plantings areas will be implemented prior to the onset of the 2022
growing season. Geomorphic surveys indicate that cross-section bankfull dimensions closely match the
baseline monitoring with some minor adjustments, and streams are functioning as intended. No bankfull
events were documented during MY1.The MY1 visual assessment identified a few invasive vegetation
areas of concern in wooded enhancement II reaches, but no stream areas of concern were documented.
Invasives are also scheduled to be treated before the onset of the 2022 growing season. Wildlands will
continue to monitor these areas and adaptive management measures will be implemented as necessary
to benefit the ecological health of the Site.

Section 2: METHODOLOGY
Geomorphic data were collected following the standards outlined in The Stream Channel Reference Site:
An Illustrated Guide to Field Techniques (Harrelson et al., 1994) and in the Stream Restoration: A Natural
Channel Design Handbook(Doll et al., 2003). All Integrated Current Condition Mapping was recorded
using a Trimble handheld GPS with sub-meter accuracy and processed using Pathfinder and ArcGIS.
Stream gages were installed in riffles and monitored quarterly. Hydrologic monitoring instrument
installation and monitoring methods are in accordance with the United States Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE, 2003) standards. Vegetation monitoring protocols followed the Carolina Vegetation Survey-EEP
Level 2 Protocol (Lee et al., 2008); however, vegetation data processing follows the NCDMS Vegetation
Data Entry Tool and Vegetation Plot Data Table (NCDMS, 2020).

Attached is a pdf that contains proposed planting lists for shaded and wetland areas at Honey Mill.The shaded supplemental planting list is the same as the
approved mitigation plan with the exception of substituting slippery elm for tulip poplar.There was not a separate wetland planting list in the approved
mitigation. The list contains species that we propose to plant in wet areas on the project site. Please let us know if you have any questions or comments. We will
be ordering the plants soon in order to get them on the ground this planting season.
Happy holidays!

Subject: Monitoring Year 0 Report Comments
Honey Mill Mitigation Site, Surry County
Yadkin River Basin HUC 03040101
DMS Project ID#100083
USACE#SAW-2018-01789
Dear Ms. Browning:
Thank you for your October 29, 2021 comment email for the Honey Mill Mitigation Site Monitoring Year
0 report. We will make the necessary revisions to the documents and take action at the site as
described in our responses below. All revisions have been incorporated into the MY1 report.
USACE Comments, Kim Browning:
1. USACE concurs with DWR's comments, particularly#3. The Mitigation Goals and Objectives in
the final mitigation plan state that existing forested riparian buffers will be enhanced and protected. The
project implementation portion of the final mit plan states that along each restoration and enhancement
reach, cattle will be excluded, and open areas of the buffer will be planted. Removing supplemental
planting is a modification to what was agreed upon and changes the overall functional return. The IRT
requires that the originally agreed upon planting plan be implemented or credit ratios on UT2, UT2A and
UT5 will be adjusted prior to the next credit release.
WILDLANDS RESPONSE: During construction, several pockets of non-forested areas within the wooded
buffer were identified. Wildlands took the approach of redistributing the bare roots to focus on these
areas using denser spacing (12' vs. 25').The total number of bare roots planted matched the quantity in
the mitigation plan. While we understand that this is a modification to the approved mitigation plan, the
approach we took addressed several open areas within the established wooded buffer. Wildlands will
plant all areas initially identified in the IRT approved mitigation plan during the upcoming 2021/2022
dormant season.
2. The legend on Figure 3 shows the same symbols for permanent and mobile veg plots.
WILDLANDS RESPONSE:The legend on Figure 3 will be revised to differentiate the types of veg plots.
3. The 10-ft farm path should be shown on the figures in future monitoring reports.
WILDLANDS RESPONSE:The farm path will be shown on all future monitoring reports.
4. Do the allowable activities in the easement exceptions allow for maintenance of the farm path?
The IRT would have preferred for the farm path to be excluded from the easement.

WILDLANDS RESPONSE:: While we understand that ideally the path should be outside the easement,
Wildlands agreed with DMS in this instance to leave the path in the easement as an exception.The
easement exemptions do allow for maintenance of the farm path.The landowner is aware of the limits
of the path within the easement.
The farm path located inside the conservation easement and the crossing that extends outside of the
internal crossing cutout were reviewed by DMS, NC DEQ Stewardship and NC SPO. Both areas were
added to the DEQ Stewardship GIS infrastructure geodatabase and were documented in the DEQ
Stewardship project file.The landowner will be able to maintain the crossing and farm path as
constructed. The landowner should notify DEQ Stewardship prior to conducting maintenance work
inside the conservation easement.
NCDWR Comments, Erin Davis:
1. Section 1.3.2 (UT5)— The narrative states that pre-construction the downstream channel's flow
disconnected from the original stream alignment and during construction the disconnected portion of
channel was abandoned and backfilled and the flow was reconnected with its natural flow path. Why
was this not shown as a deviation on the Sheet 1.33 redline?
WILDLANDS RESPONSE: Wildlands realizes the description of UT5 in section 1.3.2 is misleading and will
revise it for clarity.
2. Section 5.1.6—Please elaborate on the data point based alignment change for the upstream
portion of UT5(Enhancement II reach).
WILDLANDS RESPONSE:The alignment along the upstream portion of UT5 wasn't actually changed. It is
in the original location as mapped on the preliminary jurisdictional delineation (pJD). The alignment
shown in design plans was incorrect, but unfortunately this discrepancy wasn't caught until the record
drawings were being created. At the time, Wildlands redrew the alignment based on the pJD and
decided to show it as a red line because it deviated from the design plans.
3. Section 5.1.7—The statement, "Some areas of supplemental planting were removed at the
engineer's discretion'; is not a valid justification for altering the planting plan that was submitted and
approved in the Final Mitigation Plan. It appears that no supplemental planting was completed in the
riparian buffers along UT2, UT2A, UT5. Additionally, only half of the riparian buffers along UT3, UT4,
UT6 and sections of Venable Creek were supplemental planted. Based on the redline drawings this
appears to be a substantial modification to the approved Plan. Please provide a percent area of the
Shaded Supplemental Planting Zone that was not planted. DWR is recommending that supplemental
plantings in these areas be implemented in accordance with the approved Plan during the next dormant
season or adjustments to credit ratios be considered.
WILDLANDS RESPONSE: Please refer to USACE comment 1 response.
4. Section 5.1.8—For the section of fence line removal, what was the adjacent land use changed
to?
WILDLANDS RESPONSE: Cattle were removed from that parcel and land use is now open agricultural
field.The fence was not installed so that the landowner could timber outside the easement.The
landowner understands that if cattle are reintroduced in the future,fence must be installed.

MYO IRT Comment Response
5. Section 5.2.2—Are there any long term management concerns with having the culvert extend
beyond the internal crossing?Will it require additional coordination with Stewardship on any pipe
maintenance/replacement?
WILDLANDS RESPONSE: A letter was mailed to the landowner explaining the allowable limits of culvert
maintenance. The farm path located inside the conservation easement and the crossing that extends
outside of the internal crossing cutout were reviewed by DMS, NC DEQ Stewardship and NC SPO. Both
areas were added to the DEQ Stewardship GIS infrastructure geodatabase and were documented in the
DEQ Stewardship project file. The landowner will be able to maintain the crossing and farm path as
constructed. The landowner should notify DEQ Stewardship prior to conducting maintenance work
inside the conservation easement.
6. Sheet 1.8—Please confirm that the pre-construction profile as shown resulted in no changes with
ford crossing installation.
WILDLANDS RESPONSE: Wildlands was on-site during construction and ensured that the ford was
installed at grade.
7. Table 9—It's very nice to see a good species diversity across all of the veg plots.
WILDLANDS RESPONSE: Noted.
USEPA Comments,Todd Bowers:
1. 1 noted all(very few)redline changes in the plan diagrams and concur with all changes. My only
comment is that structures update in red for the plan views should also appear in the stream profile to
help illustrate differences in the planned or designed grade and the actual grade of either the thalweg or
banks.
WILDLANDS RESPONSE: Wildlands does not normally show structure invert elevations or structure type
deviations on the record drawing profile. We do show significant changes in the profile as red in the
record drawings. Since the structures were installed within acceptable tolerances, no elevation
deviations were shown on the profile.
2. Figures 3.3, 3.4 and Sheet 1.5: What happened to the fence that seems to end around UT2B and
begins again around the top of UT5?It appears open ended but is this suitable even with the change in
land use(livestock removal)of the adjacent(former)pasture?
WILDLANDS RESPONSE: Please refer to NCDWR comment 4 response.
3. Very pleased to see additional land fenced off on the north side of Venable Creek to provide
more buffer between the pasture and the riparian zone within the conservation easement.
WILDLANDS RESPONSE: Noted.
4. Encroachment of CE due to requested landowner access road noted with no corrective action
needed.
WILDLANDS RESPONSE: Noted.
5. Planting followed the plan very closely with just a few minor substitutions;all appear suitable
and maintains a diverse mix of species and habits.
WILDLANDS RESPONSE: Noted.
6. UT2B does not appear on the Planting Plan sheets 2.2 and 2.5.
WILDLANDS RESPONSE: See response to USACE comment 1 above.

RE: Pebble count data requirements
Date: October 19, 2021
The DMS Technical Work Group met September 29, 2021 to discuss Interagency Review Team (IRT) and
DMS requirements for collecting pebble count data as part of monitoring (MYO-MYx). Agreement was
reached between all attending parties that pebble count data will not be required during the monitoring
period for all future projects.
Sediment data and particle distribution will still be required for the mitigation plan as part of the
proposed design explanation and justification.
Pebble counts and/or particle distributions currently being conducted by providers for annual
monitoring may be discontinued at the discretion of the DMS project manager. If particle distribution
was listed as a performance standard in the project mitigation plan,the provider is required to
communicate the intent to cease data collection with the DMS project manager. The absence of pebble
count data in future monitoring reports where pebble count data was listed as part of monitoring in the
mitigation plan must be documented in the monitoring report. The September 29, 2021 Technical Work
Group meeting may be cited as the source of the new policy.
The IRT reserves the right to request pebble count data/particle distributions if deemed necessary
during the monitoring period.

Kristi,
You may implement the new pebble count policy on any of the projects that I manage in accordance with the policy and
your own professional judgement. Please feel free to utilize pebble count data for any site that you determine would
benefit from the analysis. Some sites may have specific performance criteria or other factors where pebble counts could
be required.
Let me know if you have any questions,

Kelly,
Jason Lorch in our Raleigh Office forwarded this meeting memo to me. It says that conducting pebble counts for DMS
monitoring (MYO—MY7) projects is no longer needed as long as it has been okayed by the DMS PM. Moving forward,
are you going to allow us to stop doing them on your projects? Please let me know. Thank you!
