1.0 PROJECT SETTING AND BACKGROUND SUMMARY
The Dogbite Stream Restoration Site is a full - delivery project that was developed for the North Carolina
Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP). The project restored, enhanced, and preserved 3,689 linear feet
of White Oak Creek (WOC) and its tributaries.
The project streams had become degraded primarily through poor grazing management, vegetation
removal, and channelization. Historically, the site was cleared and converted into pasture except for
isolated, narrow strips of riparian vegetation along the streams. White Oak Creek was also channelized to
go around two ponds. Prior to restoration, many of the project streams were experiencing severe bank
erosion and bed degradation.
Over the course of the project, the following supplemental planting and site maintenance has been
conducted. In 2011, the vegetation maintenance included planting additional bare -root trees in various
locations throughout the site that were found to have low densities of planted trees. Invasive control was
conducted from 2010 to 2013 with herbicide application targeting multiflora ros (Rosa multiflora), white
poplar (Populus alba) and burdock (Articum minus). In 2013, a headcut forming near the top of T1 was
identified as a risk to the stability of the project and was repaired. In the spring of 2014, additional 1 gallon
containerized trees were planted in areas of low density.
2.0 PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The goals and objectives of the restoration project are as follows:
Restoration Goals:
■ Restore the stream's riparian buffer.
■ Create a stable network of headwater streams.
Restoration Objectives:
• Plant a functional Montane Alluvial Forest community along with a Montane Oak - Hickory
Forest to create an effective riparian buffer.
• Arrest bed elevation lowering and stream widening.
• Create in- stream habitat by restoring a profile with defined pools and adding woody debris
habitat structures.
• Stop bank erosion by developing the appropriate channel dimension and by stabilizing with
vegetation.
• Remove the livestock waste pond adjacent to the stream.
• Exclude livestock from the riparian areas with fencing

4.0 EEP RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS
The stream is functioning as designed and has not developed any significant problems. The monitored
cross - sections and profiles indicate some changes over the course of monitoring, but the stream in these
areas is not trending towards instability.
With multiple bankfull events since construction, the stream has met the success criterion of at least two
bankfull events occurring in separate years over the course of the monitoring period.
The monitored vegetation plots within the stream buffer revealed that the planted vegetation is growing
well with 480 stems /acre. The planted vegetation has been doing well, with some plots experiencing more
mortality than others. This mortality can be attributed to normal losses after the initial planting as well as
aggressive growth from the site's herbaceous vegetation. The site also has vigorous volunteers, which will
increase the overall vegetation success of the site.
Overall the stream and the site's vegetation condition indicate that it is on a path to success. The EEP
recommends that this site be closed out with the requested 1,323 SMUs.

or not) within the Neuse, Tar - Pamlico, Randleman, Catawba (or any other basin with buffer
rules), shall be limited to "uses" identified within and constructed in accordance with 15A
NCAC 2B .0233, .0259, .0250 and .0243, and shall be located, designed, constructed, and
maintained to have minimal disturbance to protect water quality to the maximum extent
practicable through the use of best management practices. All buffer rule requirements,
including diffuse flow requirements, must be met.
9. Water Supply Watershed Buffers
The 100 -foot wide (high - density development) or the 30 -foot wide vegetative buffer (all other
development) must be maintained adjacent to all perennial waters except for allowances as
Water Quality Certification No. 3689

Water Quality Certification No. 3689
provided in the Water Supply Watershed Protection Rules [15A NCAC 2B .0212 through
.0215].
10. If concrete is used during the construction, then a dry work area should be maintained to
prevent direct contact between curing concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently
contacts uncured concrete should not be discharged to surface waters due to the potential for
elevated pH and possible aquatic life /fish kills.
11. Any rip -rap shall be of such a size and density so as not to be able to be carried off by wave
or current action and consist of clean rock or masonry material free of debris or toxic
pollutants. Rip -rap shall not be installed in the streambed except in specific areas required for
velocity control and to ensure structural integrity of bank stabilization measures. If rip -rap is
to be installed within the streambed, the amount and location must be approved in writing by
the Division of Land Resources and Division of Water Quality. However, rock vanes, wing
deflectors, and similar structures for grade control and bank protection are acceptable.
12. If an environmental document is required under NEPA or SEPA, then this General
Certification is not valid until a Finding of No Significant Impact or Record of Decision is
issued by the State Clearinghouse.
13. Additional site - specific conditions may be added to the written approval attached to this
Certification in order to ensure compliance with all applicable water quality and effluent
standards.
14.This Certification shall expire three (3) years from the date of the approval letter from DWQ or
on the same day as the corresponding Nationwide Permit. In accordance with General
Statute 136 - 44.713, certifications issued to the NCDOT shall expire only upon expiration of the
federal 404 Permit. The conditions in effect on the date of issuance of Certification for a
specific project shall remain in effect for the life of the project, regardless of the expiration
date of this Certification. If the construction process for approved activities will overlap the
expiration and renewal date of the corresponding 404 Permit and the Corps allows for
continued use of the 404 Permit, then the General Certification shall also remain in effect
without requiring re- application and re- approval to use this Certification for the specific
impacts already approved.
15. The applicant/permittee and their authorized agents shall conduct all activities in a manner
consistent with State water quality standards (including any requirements resulting from
compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act), and any other appropriate requirements of
State and Federal Law. If the Division determines that such standards or laws are not being
met, including failure to sustain a designated or achieved use, or that State or Federal law is
being violated, or that further conditions are necessary to assure compliance, then the
Division may reevaluate and modify this General Water Quality Certification.
16. Certificate of Completion
When written authorization is required for use of this certification, upon completion of all
permitted impacts included within the approval and any subsequent modifications, the
applicant shall be required to return the certificate of completion attached to the approval.
One copy of the certificate shall be sent to the DWQ Central Office in Raleigh at 1650 Mail
Service Center, Raleigh, NC, 27699 -1650.
Non - compliance with or violation of the conditions herein set forth by a specific project shall result
in revocation of this Certification for the project and may also result in criminal and/or civil
penalties.

The Director of the North Carolina Division of Water Quality may require submission of a formal
application for Individual Certification for any project in this category of activity if it is determined
that the project is likely to have a significant adverse effect upon water quality including state or
federally listed endangered or threatened aquatic species or degrade the waters so that existing
uses of the wetland or downstream waters are precluded.
Public hearings may be held for specific applications or group of applications prior to a
Certification decision if deemed in the public's best interest by the Director of the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality.
