3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at
the time of this application:
The Cedar Creek Stream Restoration Project is located within an agricultural watershed in Sampson
County, North Carolina, approximately three miles southwest of Clinton. The site is located in the Cape
Fear River Basin within Cataloging Unit 03030006 (NCDWQ 10 Digit Watershed HUC 0303000604;
Stream Index # 18- 68 -1). The easement totals 42.0 acres and is broken into four tributaries, UTI, UT2,
UT3, and UT4. The land use in the 2,778 -acre (4.34 mil) project watershed that drains to UTI consists of
row crop production, livestock production, silviculture, and sand mining areas. Current land use practices
have caused increased erosion and sedimentation along drainage -ways and stream banks in the watershed.
1

Supplemental Information for Pre - Construction Notification (PCN) Form
Cedar Creek Stream and Wetland Restoration Project
UT1 is the main stem of the project, which runs directly into Great Coharie Creek. Great Coharie Creek is
defined as Class C Sw (NCDWQ, 2012). Class C waters are suitable for aquatic life, secondary recreation,
fishing, fish consumption and wildlife. The Sw is a designation for swamp waters — waters that have low
velocities and other natural characteristics that are different from adjacent streams. Great Coharie Creek is
not listed as a 303(d) listed stream. UT2 has a drainage area of 32 acres (0.05 mil) and flows southwest into
UTL Land use in this small drainage area consists entirely of row crop production and disturbed hardwood
forest. UT2 originates in a disturbed hardwood forest and flows through a cultivated field to its confluence
with UT 1.
UT3 has a drainage area of 147 acres (0.23 mi2) and flows south into UTL Land use in this drainage area
consists of row crop production, historical and future livestock production, disturbed hardwood forest,
maintained open space, and impervious surfaces associated with residential commercial development.
Portions of the Sampson County Airport, including parts of the runway, terminal, and apron areas, lie
within. the UT3 drainage area. UT3 originates at a pond that is adjacent to the airport property. This reach
flows through a disturbed hardwood forest, and then through a cultivated field to its confluence with UTL
UT4 has a drainage area of 77 acres (0.12 mi2), originates within a disturbed hardwood forest, and flows
southwest into UTL Land use in this small drainage area consists of a mix of row crop production and
disturbed hardwood forest located primarily along the drainage way.
UT2, UT3 and UT4 have been straightened, dredged, or re- aligned in the past to promote drainage. Soil
investigations show that much of the low -lying landscape adjacent to UT1 and its confluences with UT2
and UT3 exhibits hydric characteristics and a shallow seasonal high water table. The low lying fields in this
area are considered prior converted wetlands (PC) that were drained and are currently utilized for row crop
and livestock production.
3d Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
The objective for this restoration project is to restore wetland areas and design a natural waterway through
a stream/wetland complex with appropriate cross - sectional dimension and slope that will provide function
and meet the appropriate success criteria for the existing streams. Accomplishing this objective entails the
restoration of natural stream characteristics, such as stable cross sections, planform, and in- stream habitat.
The floodplain areas will be hydrologically reconnected to the channel to provide natural exchange and
storage during flooding events. The design will be based on reference conditions, USACE guidance
( USACE, 2005), and criteria that are developed during this project to achieve success. Additional project
objectives, such as restoring the riparian buffer with native vegetation, ensuring hydraulic stability, and
eradicating invasive species, are listed in Section 1 along with several other project objectives.
3e Describe the overall proiect in detail including the type of equipment to be used.
The design approach applies a combination of analytical and reference and /or analog reach based design
methods that meet objectives commensurate with both ecological and geomorphic improvements. The
analog method involves the use of a "template" stream adjacent to, nearby, or previously in the same
location as the design reach. The template parameters of the analog reach are replicated to create the
features of the design reach. Proposed treatment activities may range from minor bank grading and planting
to re- establishing stable planform and hydraulic geometry. For reaches requiring full restoration, natural
design concepts have been applied and verified through rigorous engineering analyses and modeling. The
objective of this approach is to design a geomorphically stable channel that provides habitat improvements
and ties into the existing landscape.

Supplemental Information for Pre- Construction Notification (PCN) Form
Cedar Creek Stream and Wetland Restoration Project
Sections of abandoned stream channel will be backfilled to the elevation of the floodplain in areas adjacent
to the new channel with material excavated onsite and by installing channel plugs where necessary. The
floodplain will be planted with native species creating a vegetated buffer, which will provide numerous
water quality and ecological benefits. Stream banks will be stabilized using a combination of grading,
erosion control matting, bare -root plantings, structure placement, and sod transplants where possible. The
stream and adjacent riparian areas will be protected by a minimum 50 foot permanent conservation
easement.
C. Proposed Impacts Inventory
3i. Stream Impacts Comments:
UT1 flows from southeast to northwest across the project, totaling 5,186 linear feet of Enhancement Level I
and lI. The upper -most portion of UT1 (reaches UT1A and UT1B) is stable and has a forested buffer along
both banks; however, privet is dominant within the right buffer. The work proposed along includes bank
stabilization and some areas where gullies will be filled. The current conditions of UTI are depicted in
multiple reaches (Figure 4). Reach UT1A starts immediately downstream of Boykin Bridge Road and
below Boykin Lake. Reaches UT1A and UTIB are stable with a woody buffer. The left bank is a mature
bottomland forest, and, although the right bank contains mature trees limited to the top of bank, the buffer
beyond is dominated by privet. Reaches UT1C and UT1D are moderately stable and somewhat straight.
The cultivated fields adjacent to or slightly removed from the channel bank develop areas of concentrated
flow and erosion gullies along the right bank. The left bank consists of a five year old clear -cut and a small
area of mature bottomland forest. Reach UT1E exhibits areas of erosion from the adjacent cultivation and
evidence of sediment is present along the narrow woody buffer.
UT2 is the middle tributary of the project, totaling 337 linear feet of headwater valley restoration along the
upstream section and 504 linear feet of Priority 1 restoration through the downstream section. The upper
section of the channel has been channelized and is bordered by cultivated fields to the northwest and a pine
stand to the southeast, while the lower portion is a small ditch surrounded by cultivated fields. Restoration
activities will involve constructing a meandering channel, installing habitat and drop structures, filling and
plugging the abandoned channel, planting the buffer with native vegetation, and invasive species control. A
60 -foot easement break is proposed near the middle of the reach to allow for the installation of a culvert
crossing.
UT3 is the western most tributary of the project, totaling 1,912 linear feet of Priority 1 restoration. The
upper section of the channel is incised /oversized and begins at a pond outlet east of the airport and flows
through a wooded area consisting of saplings and some mature hardwoods, while the lower section flows
through a cultivated field. The proposed channel will be relocated to the west to follow the natural valley,
and will flow through the middle of proposed wetland Wl. UT3 will outlet into Cedar Creek near STA
43 +10. Restoration will include constructing a meandering channel, installing habitat and grade control
structures, filling and plugging the abandoned channel, planting the buffer with native vegetation, and
invasive species control. Small ditches located adjacent to UT3 and within the conservation easement will
also be plugged and filled to redirect and diffuse flow through the proposed wetland and /or into UT3.
UT4 is the eastern most tributary of the project, totaling 78 linear feet of Enhancement Level II. The reach
is relatively stable, but has been historically channelized. The buffer along this section consists of an
agricultural field along the right bank, and a forested buffer along the left bank, however, privet is common
within the left buffer. Stabilization/Enhancement II activities will include performing minor bank grading,
cutting a floodplain bench, and planting the buffer with native vegetation, and invasive species control.

Supplemental Information for Pre - Construction Notification (PCN) Form
Cedar Creek Stream and Wetland Restoration Project
D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
]a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Due to the nature of this project, complete avoidance is not possible. Both stream and wetland impacts
were considered when designing the Muddy Run II project. This project should uplift the ecological
quality of streams and wetlands on site. The existing channel length for Cedar Creek is 7,707 LF with one
crossing and the proposed project will result in 8,207 of stream with two crossings. (See table below).

1 b. specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction
techniques:
Impacts are minimized using a staged construction approach. Where possible the channel will be
constructed prior to turning stream flow into a segment. This approach allows minimization of the impact
of each stage during the project construction. Additionally all work in wetlands and streams will be
conducted during dry conditions and /or with mats to protect soil structure. Efforts will be made to preserve
individual high value trees located within the stream restoration area.
