RE: Compass Point Year 4 Monitoring Report (SAW-2017-01465 | RES Yadkin 01 Umbrella Mitigation
Bank)

Mr. Kichefski,

Please find attached the Compass Point MY4 Monitoring Report. In Year 4, vegetation and cross section
monitoring was not required. MY3 results have been included in the report in lieu of new data. Four bankfull
events were recorded on the stage recorder on DW1-B. Bankfull events have now been recorded in four
separate monitoring years. The flow gauge on DW1-A recorded consecutive flow for 228 days in 2024.
Visual assessment of the boundary found no areas of encroachment. Maintenance activities performed this
year included planting livestakes in two areas of bank erosion on DW1-C, structure repair on cross section
1, bank repair at both cross section 9 and cross section 11, and a supplemental planting of 3-gallon
container trees in two locations, one along DW1-B and the other along DW2-A. Comments from the MY3
Monitoring Report are addressed below and in the report.
1. Why is supplemental planting from low stem density in MY2 (submitted 8/31/22) occurring this winter
as opposed to last? Better vegetative performance would be expected if issues are addressed quickly and
replanting efforts occur as soon as possible after being identified.
RES agrees that replanting efforts should occur as soon as possible after problems are identified. In this
case, the project was undergoing a handoff internally during the time that the replanting should have
been requested, and this task fell through the cracks. The delay and the fact that the project is in MY4 are
the reasons why 3-gallon container species were used as opposed to smaller trees.

2. Thank you for including photos of the problem areas related to low stem density and stream bank
erosion. Will any grading be associated with the stream bank locations?
Approximately 20 linear feet of minor grading happened at both the repair at cross section 9 and the
repair at cross section 11. Additional riffle material, brush toe material, coir matting, and seeding were
used to facilitate stability and both areas showed stability during the most recent project walkthrough in
August. Photos of the completed construction activities have been included in Appendix B.

3. The bankfull entrenchment ratio for cross section 14 has dipped slightly below the >2.2 threshold due
to some aggradation. In the text vegetation growth is described as a potential cause. Will vegetation
management be performed in this area?

2
Vegetation management has not been planned for the area at this time. MY2 and M3 were drier years
which kept streams from being flushed out as well as necessary to push sediment and prohibit vegetation
from establishing. RES is waiting to see cross section data from MY5 to determine if cross section 14 has
stabilized itself within suitable thresholds or if the area needs some maintenance actions.

4. The request letter mentions there are two low stem density areas that will be supplementally planted,
but the report (page 7) only mentions one. If there is a second, please indicate the area on Figure 2 and
include it in the VPA photo documentation.
Apologies. The second area has been added to Figure 2 and is included in the VPA photo documentation
in Appendix B.

5. Please note that some vegetation plots are dominated by a single species (BP8, R2). Per the 2016
Guidance, and as indicated on page 4 of the report, any single species can only account for up to 50
percent of the required stems within any vegetation plot, and any stems in excess of 50 percent should
not be used to demonstrate success.
Noted. This will be taken into consideration next year during vegetation monitoring, and additional
species will be planted if this issue remains. For VP8 next year’s data will tell us if any sycamores have died
within the plot, and if any trees were missed during MY3 monitoring as the herbaceous vegetation was
quite high within the plot. If we determine additional trees are needed, we will investigate the area around
the plot to determine which species are doing well in the area, as it is quite shaded by nearby mature
trees. The same protocol will be taken for any additional areas that show a dominance of one species.

6. Please continue to closely monitor cross section 12 and 14 to determine if remedial action will be
needed. Noted that 2 areas of bank erosion on DW1-C will be repaired. We appreciate the inclusion of the
photos for the VPAs and SPAs in the report. Please include photos of the repairs in next year’s report.
RES will determine if cross sections 12 and 14 need any remedial actions after data collection in
MY5. Photos of this year’s repairs have been included in the report in Appendix B.

7. The MY3 report noted that geomorphology data for MY3 was collected during May 2023. The MY2 data
was collected in June and the MY1 data was collected in July. Each year geomorphology data collection
has moved earlier and is too early in the monitoring year to adequately reflect MY3 progression. Please
ensure MY4 collection is done later in the monitoring year and strive for consistency over the length of
the entire monitoring period.
Noted. MY5 cross section monitoring will occur no earlier than May 2025, and RES will make sure future
monitoring events also occur at least a year after prior events.

RES is requesting a 5% stream credit release (207.750 SMUs) for the completion of the MY4 report and a
10% stream credit release (415.500 SMUs) for fulfilling the stream bankfull requirement. Please see the
enclosed credit release timeline and an updated credit ledger.

Thank you,

1.0 Project Summary

1.1 Project Location and Description

The Compass Point Mitigation Site (“the Project”) is located in Yadkin County, approximately 4.5
miles northeast of Boonville. Water quality stressors that affected the Project included livestock
production, agricultural production, and lack of riparian buffer. The Project presents 5,289 linear
feet (LF) of stream restoration and enhancement generating 4,155 Cool Stream Mitigation Units
(SMU) along three unnamed tributaries that drain directly to the Yadkin River.

The Project is located in the Yadkin River Basin within Cataloging Unit 03040101, Target Local
Watershed 030401011001, and NCDWR sub-basin 03-07-02. The current State classification for
the Yadkin River at this location is Class C (NCDWR 2011).

The Project’s total easement area is approximately 16.46 acres within the overall drainage area of
271 acres and consisted of cattle pastures and wooded areas. Grazing livestock historically had
access to most stream reaches within the Project. The lack of riparian buffer vegetation, deep-
rooted vegetation, and unstable channel characteristics had contributed to the degradation of
stream banks throughout the Project area.

The stream design approach for the Project combined the analog method of natural channel
design with analytical methods to evaluate stream flows and hydraulic performance of the channel
and floodplain. The analog method involved the use of a reference reach, or “template” stream,
adjacent to, nearby, or previously in the same location as the design reach. The template
parameters of the analog reach were replicated to create the features of the design reach. The
analog approach is useful when watershed and boundary conditions are similar between the
design and analog reaches (Skidmore et al., 2001). Hydraulic geometry was developed using
analytical methods to identify the design discharge.

The Project will be monitored on a regular basis throughout the seven-year post-construction
monitoring period, or until performance standards are met. Upon approval for closeout by the
Interagency Review Team (IRT), the site will be transferred to Unique Places to Save (UP2S). This
party shall serve as conservation easement holder and long-term steward for the property and
will conduct periodic inspection of the site to ensure that restrictions required in the conservation
easement are upheld. Endowment funds required to uphold easement and deed restrictions will
be finalized prior to site transfer to the responsible party.

1.2 Project Goals and Objectives

Through the comprehensive analysis of the Project’s maximum functional uplift using the Stream
Functions Pyramid Framework, specific, attainable goals and objectives will be realized by the
Project. These goals clearly address the degraded water quality and nutrient input from farming
that were identified as major watershed stressors in the 2009 Upper Yadkin Pee-Dee River RBRP.

Compass Point 3 Year 4 Monitoring Report
Mitigation Site September 2024
The Project goals are:
• Improve water transport from watershed to the channel in a non-erosive manner in a
stable channel;
• Improve flood flow attenuation on site and downstream by allowing for overbank flows
and connection to the active floodplain;
• Improve instream habitat;
• Restore and enhance native floodplain vegetation; and
• Indirectly support the goals of the 2009 Upper Yadkin Pee-Dee RBRP to improve water
quality and to reduce sediment and nutrient loads.
The Project objectives to address the goals are:
• Designed and reconstructed stream channels sized to convey bankfull flows that will
maintain a stable dimension, profile, and planform based on modeling, watershed
conditions, and reference reach conditions;
• Added in-stream structures and bank stabilization measures to protect restored and
enhanced streams;
• Installed habitat features such as brush toes, constructed riffles, woody materials, and
pools of varying depths to restored and enhanced streams;
• Reduced bank height ratios and increased entrenchment ratios to reference reach
conditions;
• Increased forested riparian buffers to at least 50 feet on both sides of the channel along
the Project reaches with a hardwood riparian plant community;
• Treated exotic invasive species; and
• Established a permanent conservation easement on the Project that excludes livestock
from stream channels and their associated buffers.

Limitations to achieving these watershed goals arise by remaining constrained to the project
boundaries. While we are restoring the habitat and streams to stable and effective conditions that
achieve our goals within the Project parcels, we are unable to influence the effect of all riparian
buffers and livestock impact in other areas within the watershed. However, with responsible
restoration and stewardship of the majority of reaches within this small watershed, overall
watershed functionality and health will improve to meet the RBRP goals.

1.3 Project Success Criteria

The Project follows the USACE 2003 Stream Mitigation Guidelines, and the “Wilmington District
Stream and Wetland Compensatory Mitigation Update” dated October 24, 2016. Cross section
and vegetation plot data will be collected in Years 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7. Hydrology data and visual
monitoring will be reported annually.

Compass Point 4 Year 4 Monitoring Report
Mitigation Site September 2024
Stream Success Criteria

Four bankfull flow events must be documented within the seven-year monitoring period. The
bankfull events must occur in separate years. Otherwise, the stream monitoring will continue until
four bankfull events have been documented in separate years.

There should be little change in as-built cross sections. If changes do take place, they should be
evaluated to determine if they represent a movement toward a less stable condition (for example
down-cutting or erosion) or are minor changes that represent an increase in stability (for example
settling, vegetative changes, deposition along the banks, or decrease in width/depth ratio). Cross
sections shall be classified using the Rosgen stream classification method, and all monitored cross
sections should fall within the quantitative parameters defined for channels of the design stream
type. Bank height ratio shall not exceed 1.2, and the entrenchment ratio shall be no less than 1.4
within restored reaches. The entrenchment ratio shall be no less than 2.2 for all measured riffle
cross-sections on a given reach. Channel stability should be demonstrated through a minimum of
four bankfull events documented in the seven-year monitoring period.

Digital images are used to subjectively evaluate channel aggradation or degradation, bank
erosion, success of riparian vegetation, and effectiveness of erosion control measures.
Longitudinal images should not indicate the absence of developing bars within the channel or an
excessive increase in channel depth. Lateral images should not indicate excessive erosion or
continuing degradation of the banks over time. A series of images over time should indicate
successional maturation of riparian vegetation.

Vegetation Success Criteria

Specific and measurable success criteria for plant density within the riparian buffers on the
Project follow IRT Guidance. Vegetation monitoring plots are a minimum of 0.02 acres in size
and cover a minimum of two percent of the planted area. The interim measures of vegetative
success for the Project are the survival of at least 320 planted three-year old trees per acre at the
end of Year 3, at least 260 planted five-year old trees at seven feet in height at the end of Year
5, and the final vegetative success criteria is at least 210 trees per acre with an average height of
ten feet at the end of Year 7. Volunteer trees are counted, identified to species, and included in
the yearly monitoring reports, but did not count towards the success criteria of total planted
stems. Moreover, any single species can only account for up to 50 percent of the required
number of stems within any vegetation plot. Any stems in excess of 50 percent are shown in the
monitoring table but were not used to demonstrate success.

1.4 Project Components

The Project area is comprised of a single easement location along three unnamed tributaries to
the Yadkin River, totaling 5,289 linear feet. There are eight stream reaches, DW1-A, DW1-B, DW1-
C, DW1-D, DW1-E, DW2-A, DW2-B, and DW3, divided by treatment type. The Project is accessible

Compass Point 5 Year 4 Monitoring Report
Mitigation Site September 2024
from Pulliam Road. The stream mitigation components are summarized below. The one minor
change from the Mitigation Plan credits was a result of an easement area decrease (0.04 acres) at
the top of DW1-A. The easement was offset 30 feet from the parcel line, however, during the
original survey an incorrect parcel line was used. This error was corrected in the recorded
easement but was never updated in the design files. Therefore, the length of DW1-A is now 15
linear feet (6 SMU) shorter in As-Built than what was shown in the Mitigation Plan, causing a
reduction in total credits from 4,161 SMUs to 4,155 SMUs. More details about project stream
lengths and credits are provided in Appendix A.

1.5 Stream Design/Approach

Stream restoration efforts along the tributaries of the Project were accomplished through analyses
of geomorphic conditions and watershed characteristics. The design approach applied a
combination of analytical and reference reach-based design methods that meet objectives
commensurate with both ecological and geomorphic improvements. Treatment activities ranged
from minor bank grading and planting to re-establishing stable planform and hydraulic geometry.
For full restoration reaches, natural design concepts were applied and verified through rigorous
engineering analyses and modeling. The objective of this approach was to design a
geomorphically stable channel that provides habitat improvements and ties into the existing
landscape. Specifically, treatments included Priority I and II stream restoration, Enhancement II,
and Enhancement III.

The Project has been broken into the following reaches:

Reach DW1-A - This reach begins on the southwest end of the Project, flows northeast to a
confluence with DW1-B and DW2-B, and totals 247 linear feet of Enhancement II. Open pasture
was located adjacent to the reach. Enhancement activities included improving habitat through
livestock exclusion fencing and riparian planting. The livestock exclusion fencing removed
livestock access to the riparian areas and provides wildlife corridors throughout the Project area.
A flow gauge was installed midway on the reach to monitor hydrology.
Reach DW1-B - This reach begins on the southern end of the Project from DW1-A and DW2-B,
flows north to DW1-C, and totals 1,948 linear feet of Priority I/II restoration. Managed pasture was
located adjacent to the reach on the upstream end. The downstream end was surrounded by
intermittently grazed pasture and disturbed secondary growth in an area with previous timber
harvest. Restoration activities included constructing a new channel within the natural valley with
appropriate dimensions and pattern and backfilling the abandoned channel. In-stream structures
such as log sills, brush toes, and log vanes were installed for stability and to improve habitat.
Habitat was further improved through buffer plantings and livestock exclusion. Buffer activities

Compass Point 6 Year 4 Monitoring Report
Mitigation Site September 2024
improve riparian areas that filter runoff from adjacent pastures, thereby reducing nutrient and
sediment loads to the channel.
Reach DW1-C – This reach begins on the north end of the Project from DW1-B, and flows
northeast to a culvert crossing and DW1-D. This reach totals 566 linear feet of Priority I/II
restoration, beginning immediately downstream of a bedrock drop structure at the bottom of
DW1-B. Sections of the existing road were decommissioned in the easement and planted.
Restoration activities included constructing a new channel within the natural valley with
appropriate dimensions and pattern, cutting a floodplain bench and backfilling the abandoned
channel. In-stream structures such as log sills, brush toes, and log vanes were installed for stability
and to improve habitat. Habitat was further improved through buffer plantings and livestock
exclusion. Livestock exclusion fencing removed livestock access to the riparian areas and provides
wildlife corridors throughout the Project area.
Reach DW1-D - This reach begins at the downstream end of DW1-C and culvert crossing in the
northern end of the Project, and flows northeast to DW1-E. The reach totals 758 linear feet of
Priority I/II restoration. Restoration activities included constructing a floodplain bench to aid in
connectivity to the existing floodplain and constructing a new channel with appropriate
dimensions and pattern. When possible, bed material was harvested and reused to create stable
bed features. In-stream structures such as log sills, brush toes, and log vanes were installed for
stability and to improve habitat. Habitat was further improved through buffer plantings and
livestock exclusion. Buffer activities improve riparian areas that filter runoff from adjacent pastures,
thereby reducing nutrient and sediment loads to the channel.
Reach DW1-E - This reach begins on the north end of the Project, from DW1-D and flows north
until it drains to the Yadkin River. This reach totals 432 linear feet of Enhancement III. Managed
cropland was located adjacent to the reach. Enhancement activities included improving habitat
through livestock exclusion fencing.
Reach DW2-A - This reach begins on the southeast end of the Project, and flows west to DW2-B.
This reach totals 760 linear feet of Enhancement II. Sparse woodland and managed pasture was
located adjacent to the reach. Enhancement activities included targeted bank stabilization,
riparian buffer planting, and installation of livestock exclusion fencing. An existing ford crossing
was removed. Buffer activities improve riparian areas that filter runoff from adjacent pastures,
thereby reducing nutrient and sediment loads to the channel.
Reach DW2-B - This reach begins at the downstream end of DW2-A, and flows north to the
confluence with DW1-A to become DW1-B. This reach totals 485 linear feet of Priority I
Restoration. Actively managed pasture was present on both sides of the reach. Restoration
activities included constructing a new channel within the natural valley with appropriate
dimensions pattern and backfilling the abandoned channel. Native bed material was harvested
when possible. In-stream structures such as log sills, brush toes, and log vanes were installed for
stability and to improve habitat. Habitat was further improved through buffer plantings and
livestock exclusion. A crossing was installed along this reach. Buffer activities improve riparian

Compass Point 7 Year 4 Monitoring Report
Mitigation Site September 2024
areas that filter runoff from adjacent pastures, thereby reducing nutrient and sediment loads to
the channel.
Reach DW3 - This reach begins on the south end of the Project at the adjacent powerline
easement, and flows north to DW2-A. This reach totals 93 linear feet of Enhancement II. Disturbed
woodland and intermittently grazed pasture was located adjacent to the reach. A maintained
powerline easement is located adjacent to the reach. Enhancement activities included improving
habitat through livestock exclusion fencing, and riparian buffer planting.
1.6 Construction and As-Built Conditions

Stream construction, planting, and fencing was completed in June 2020. The Project was closely
built to design plans and guidelines. One minor adjustment was made to the easement, causing
a total decrease of 0.04 acres. The easement was offset 30 feet from the parcel line, however,
during the original survey an incorrect parcel line was used. This change to the easement was
already corrected in the original recorded easement but was not updated in the original mitigation
plan. Therefore, the length of DW1-A is now 15 linear feet (6 SMUs) shorter in As-Built than what
was shown in the Mitigation Plan, causing a reduction in total credits from 4,161 SMUs to 4,155
SMUs. A few other minor changes were made to structures during construction which are detailed
in the redline version of the as-built survey in the As-Built Report (submitted August 2020). Project
credits are based on design centerline, but as-built stream lengths are also shown on Table 1.

Also, there were a few changes to the planting plan due to bareroot availability. Planting plan
changes are shown in Table 5.

1.7 Monitoring Performance (MY4)

Vegetation

Vegetation data was not collected in MY4 per the approved mitigation plan. It will be collected
again in MY5 and MY7. Data collected in MY3 is included in Appendix C for reference.

Monitoring of the eight permanent vegetation plots and three random plots was completed
during August 2023. Vegetation data is in Appendix C, associated photos are in Appendix B, and
plot locations are in Appendix B. MY3 monitoring data indicates that 11 out of 11 plots are
exceeding the interim success criteria of 320 planted stems per acre. Planted stem densities
ranged from 324 to 1,052 planted stems per acre with a mean of 640 across all plots. A total of 19
species were documented within the plots. Volunteer species were noted in three of the plots. The
average stem height across all vegetation plots was 3.8 feet.

Current visual assessments of vegetation outside of the monitoring plots indicate that the
herbaceous vegetation is becoming well established throughout the project. Two areas of low
stem density along DW2-A (Figure 2) were planted in January with 3-gallon containers. Species
planted included 11 red mulberry (Morus rubra), 11 blackgum (Nyssa sylvatica), and 13 persimmon
(Diospyros virginiana). No invasive problem areas are reported in MY4.

Stream Geomorphology

Geomorphology data was not collected in MY4 per the approved mitigation plan. It will be
collected again in MY5 and MY7. Data collected in MY3 is included in Appendix D for reference.

Geomorphology data for MY3 was collected during May 2023. Summary tables and cross section
plots are in Appendix D. Conditions have shown some change from As-built, cross section data
from MY3 is similar to that of MY1 and MY2. Changes in the first few years after restoration
activities are to be expected and MY3 data shows the stream is stabilizing as expected.

The channel is stable and transporting sediment as designed. Three small areas were repaired on
the stream in May. The piping occurring at cross section 2 was repaired, the bare bank at cross
section 9 was matted and seeded, and the area of bank erosion noted near cross sections 11 and
12 was repaired with brushtoe and additional riffle material, then matted and seeded. Two
additional areas along the stream (Figure 2) were planted with livestakes to protect the bank.
Photos of construction and planted areas can be seen in Appendix B. The area just below the
bedrock outcrop that was flagged for repair in MY3 was not repaired. Examination by our
construction crew in May determined that doing any kind of repair to the area had a high risk of
causing additional problems down the line. The hill adjacent to the area blocked most
construction access, and several trees that are currently holding in the bank would have to be
removed. Removing the trees or cutting into the hill for material/access would increase instability
in the area. With the additional consideration that there has not been a significant increase in
erosion in this area since construction, it is RES’s opinion that the high-risk repair is no longer
warranted. This area will continue to be monitored, and if circumstances change then a repair will
be reevaluated.

Future monitoring events will continue to watch for aggradation and degradation. As requested
in the As-Built Credit Release Letter, RES has included a photo of the culverted crossing on DW1-
A in Appendix B. In MY4, there was water and substrate in all three of the culverts. RES will
continue to include photos of this crossing.

Stream Hydrology

In June 2020, one stage recorder was installed on restoration reach DW1-B to document bankfull
events and a flow gauge was installed on reach DW1-A to track the frequency and duration of
stream flow events. Bankfull success criteria has been met with fourteen bankfull events recorded
over the past five years with four in 2024. At least two bankfull events have been recorded each
year since construction. The site is on track to meet its other hydrologic performance standards
as evidenced by the DW1-A flow gauge recording consecutive flow for 228 days in 2024. Stream
hydrology data has been included in Appendix E. The stage recorder and flow gauge locations
can be found on Figure 2 and photos are in Appendix B.

Wetland Hydrology

Three groundwater wells were installed in June 2020. The goal of the groundwater wells is to track
the hydrology in the jurisdictional wetlands on site post-construction. There is no hydroperiod
success criteria for these groundwater wells. GW1 had 75 percent hydroperiod, while GW2 had
four percent hydroperiod. GW3 was damaged in May during stream construction but was not
notated by the construction crew and our ecology team did not become aware of the damage
until the August collection. GW3 does show wetland hydrology before the damage occurred for
23 percent of the growing season. It is likely that GW3 maintained hydrology from the time it was
damaged until it was replaced in August. Data for MY4 year is incomplete as the last collection
event occurred on August 22, 2024, but all data collected since MY3 report submittal has been
included in Appendix E. Relevant tables have been updated with the remaining 2023 data. It is
expected that GW1 and GW3 will have a higher hydroperiod by the end of the MY4 growing
season as both wells last year showed a hydroperiod for 100% of the growing season. GW2 is
maintaining a similar hydroperiod from previous years monitoring. This and previous year’s data
suggest that the wetland where GW2 is located is heavily influenced by precipitation, which has
been on the low to normal range since project construction. This along with the well’s position on
a slope are the likely causes of the well’s poor hydroperiod results. Photos show Juncus effusus
surrounding the well, as well as standing water nearby during winter monitoring. It is RES’s opinion
that while hydroperiod displayed by GW2 is not consistently at least 5%, the wetland it is
representing is present and has remained unaffected by project construction. Wetland hydrology
data has been included in Appendix E for GW1, GW2 and GW3. Groundwater well locations can
be found on Figure 2.

2.0 Methods

Stream geomorphology monitoring was conducted using a Topcon GTS-312 Total Station. Three-
dimensional coordinates associated with cross-section data were collected in the field (NAD83
State Plane feet FIPS 3200). Morphological data were collected at 14 cross-sections. Survey data
were imported into CAD, ArcGIS®, and Microsoft Excel® for data processing and analysis.

Stream hydrology is monitored using stage recorders and flow gauges, which utilize automatic
pressure transducers, and were installed within the channels. The stage recorders record
frequency, duration, and stage of bankfull events and are programmed to record readings at an
hourly interval. A surveyed elevation was recorded at the bed and top of bank at the stage
recorder elevation, allowing for accurate bankfull events to be recorded. Flow gauges record
frequency, duration, and stage of flow events and are programmed to read at an hourly interval.
The height of the adjacent downstream riffle (from the gauge) is used to detect flow.

Vegetation success is being monitored at eight permanent monitoring plots and three random
plots for a total of 11 plots. Locations of random plots will vary from year to year and will be
shown in Figure 2, and species and height will be recorded for all woody stems. Vegetation plot

Compass Point 10 Year 4 Monitoring Report

monitoring follows the CVS-EEP Level 2 Protocol for Recording Vegetation, version 4.2 (Lee et al.
2008) and includes analysis of species composition and density of planted species. Data are
processed using the CVS data entry tool. In the field, the four corners of each plot were
permanently marked with PVC at the origin and metal conduit at the other corners. Photos of
each plot are taken from the origin each monitoring year.

Wetland hydrology is monitored to document maintenance of jurisdictional groundwater levels
in the stream restoration area (as requested by IRT). This is accomplished with three automatic
pressure transducer gauges (located in groundwater wells) that record daily groundwater levels.
One automatic pressure transducer is installed above ground for use as a barometric reference.
Gauges are downloaded quarterly and wetland hydroperiods are calculated during the growing
season. Gauge installation followed current regulatory guidance. Visual observations of primary
and secondary wetland hydrology indicators are also recorded during quarterly site visits.
