As per the approved Mitigation Plan for the Site, this Annual Monitoring Report presents stream geometry data, stem count data from vegetation monitoring stations, and discusses any observed tendencies relating to stream stability and vegetation survival success. Prior land use on the Site consisted primarily of pasture and forest. Candiff Creek had been channelized and riparian vegetation was cleared in the lower half of the site. The upstream reaches of the project had a narrow, early successional buffer that included several exotic vegetation species. Prior to restoration, Candiff Creek was incised and lacked bedform diversity. As a result, channel degradation was widespread throughout the Site. A total of 13 monitoring plots, 100 square meters (m2) (lOm x 10m) in size, are used to predict survivability of the woody vegetation planted on the Site. Data from Year 5 monitoring for the 13 vegetation plots exhibited a survivability range of 607 to 931 stems per acre. The data showed that the Site had an average survivability of 738 stems per acre following Year 5 monitoring. Vegetation Plots 1 through 12 on reach M2 and M3 did not exhibit any invasive or aggressive species occurring on the Site. Cross-sectional monitoring data for stream stability were collected during Year 5 monitoring. A longitudinal profile survey was completed during Year 5 monitoring for approximately 3,150 linear feet (LF) of stream on the Site. The longitudinal profile was completed for Reach M3 only. The cross-sectional data and the longitudinal profile indicate that Reach M3 has remained stable throughout the monitoring period and is still functioning as designed. Two pools located at stations 46+50 and 55+50 exhibited areas of erosion during Year 4 monitoring. The erosional areas observed in 2015 are have not expanded and are currently stable. The erosional areas are occurring on outer bends below root wads and are approximately 10 feet or less in length. These two minor problem areas make up approximately 0.28% of the total as - built stream length of 7,018 feet. The erosional areas are isolated and are not trending towards long-term instability. Year 5 stream profile monitoring revealed that the Site has three beaver dams located along the Reach 3 profile. The dams are located at stations 43+75, 48+75 and 51+75 on Reach 3. The dams are relatively small with the largest dam being at station 48+50. As of October 2016, the dams were not exhibiting adverse effects on the stream or stream banks. The beaver(s) are currently being trapped and the dams will be removed when the beaver have been eliminated from the Site. All beavers and dams will be removed prior to closeout. (See Appendix for photo point PP20, Station 48+75 in the Stream Photo Log). According to the on-site crest gauge, the Site experienced at least one significant bankfull flow events during Year 5 monitoring. The largest on-site bankfull flow event documented at the M3 crest gauge occurred on August 4, 2016. It is estimated that the height of highest flow at the M3 crest gauge observed in Year 5 was approximately 3.24 feet above bankfull stage. Candiff Creek Restoration Project, DMS Project No. 92767 1 November 2016, Monitoring Year 5 FINAL Overall Summary for M3, M2, and M1 Lower In summary, M3, M2 and the lower portion of M1 has met the hydrologic, vegetative, and stream success criteria as specified in the Site Restoration Plan in all areas. Ml Upper Stream Enhancement Summary Additionally, stream enhancement work along M1 and UT1 was completed in September 2015. Bankfull benches were excavated and vertical stream banks were sloped to stable angles. Vane structures and toe wood were installed along meander bends to protect the stream banks, provide additional habitat, and to provide long-term stream bank stabilization. No additional credit is being requested as a result of this work. During this time, the existing kudzu plants and roots were cleared within a large portion of the easement area. Per the permit conditions for the enhancement work, monitoring along M1 and UT1 will be conducted for a minimum of one additional year beyond the monitoring required in the mitigation plan. This monitoring will include visual assessments conducted twice per year and the installation and annual monitoring of two bank pin arrays installed in the outside of meander bends. No exposed bank pins were noted as part of the Year 5 monitoring efforts. Additional bare -root trees were planted during the winter of 2015 in the riparian buffer areas along M1 and UTI to increase density and to offset mortality from treating kudzu. During Year 5 monitoring, the majority of kudzu (Pueraria montana) which was present on the Site in the vicinity of vegetation plot 13 and the M 1 Enhancement area has been mostly eradicated. The 2016 site inspection did not note any areas of kudzu greater than 100 ft2. This area of kudzu was previously treated during construction in the spring of 2012, August 2014, October 2014, early August 2015, late August 2015 and in spring 2016. This area was treated by use of the herbicides Glyphosate and Triclopyr. Any remaining kudzu in this area will be treated again during the early growing season 2017. Property boundary fencing in the M1 vicinity was installed during the summer of 2015. This fence allows the landowner to graze cattle outside of the fenced conservation easement, which will prevent kudzu re-establishment. Overall Summary for M1 Upper In summary, after remedial activities conducted in winter 2015 and summer 2016, to control kudzu and improve tree density along MI, the Site is on track to meet the vegetative and stream success criteria as specified in the Site Restoration Plan in all areas. Candiff Creek Restoration Project, DMS Project No. 92767 2 November 2016, Monitoring Year 5 FINAL 2.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND The project involved the restoration of 4,081 linear feet (LF) of stream, 1,757 of stream Enhancement (265 LF of Enhancement I and 1,492 LF of Enhancement II) and 1,200 LF of stream preservation. The final stream lengths for all reaches are shown in Table 1 and Figure 2 and summarizes the restoration zones on the Site. A total of 27.54 acres of stream and riparian buffer are protected through a permanent conservation easement. 2.1 Project Goals and Objectives The specific goals for the Candiff Creek Restoration Project were as follows: • Create geomorphically stable conditions along Candiff Creek through the project area, • Prevent cattle from accessing the project reaches, reducing excessive bank erosion, • Improve habitat quality in a riffle dominated stream by adding pool/riffle sequences and expanding the floodplain, while improving overall ecosystem functionality, • Improve water quality within the Candiff Creek Restoration Project area through reduction of bank erosion and reductions in nutrient and sediment loads, • Stabilize streambanks through installation of in -stream structures and establishing a riparian buffer consisting of native plant species, • Improve aquatic and terrestrial habitat through increased substrate and in -stream cover, additional woody debris, and reduced water temperature by increasing stream shading, and restored terrestrial habitat. To accomplish these goals, this project will pursue the following objectives: • Restore existing incised, eroding, and channelized streams by creating a stable channel with access to its floodplain, • Improve in -stream habitat by providing a more diverse bedform with riffles and pools, creating deeper pools and areas of water re -aeration, and reducing bank erosion, • Control invasive species within the project reaches, • Establish native stream bank and floodplain vegetation protected by a permanent conservation easement to increase stormwater runoff filtering capacity, improve bank stability, shade the stream to decrease water temperature, and provide improved wildlife habitat quality. 2.2 Project Structure, Restoration Type and Approach For analysis and design purposes, Michael Baker International (Baker) divided on-site streams into reaches. The reaches were numbered sequentially from upstream to downstream, with a "M" designation for the "mainstem" and a "UT" designation for unnamed tributaries. Two UTs are located on the Site (labeled UTI and UT2). The on-site streams are described as follows: M1 begins on the upstream section of the Site at the River -Siloam Road culvert, and then flows southward to the confluence with UT2. M2 begins at the M1/UT2 confluence and flows south 265 feet to the beginning of the restored portion of the mainstem. M3 begins at the restored channel and then flows southeastward for 4,123 feet and terminates at the property line adjacent to the Yakin Valley Railroad right-of-way located at the downstream end of the Site. UTI flows onto the Site from the southern Candiff Creek Restoration Project, DMS Project No. 92767 3 November 2016, Monitoring Year 5 FINAL Wall property line and flows southward for 885 feet to the confluence with M1. UT2 flows onto the Site from the eastern Aztar Group, LLC property line and flows eastward for 1,162 feet and terminates at the M1/M2 transition. The reaches described above are presented in the plan sheets located in Figures 3A through Figure 3G. The restoration design allows stream flows greater than the bankfull discharge, to spread onto the floodplain, dissipating flow energies and reducing stress on streambanks. In -stream structures were used to control streambed grade, reduce streambank stress, and promote bedform sequences and habitat diversity. The in -stream structures installed consist of constructed riffles, cover logs, log/rock vanes, log/rock j -hook vanes, rock cross vanes, vegetated geolifts, vegetated brush mattresses and root wads. These structures promote a diversity of habitat features in the restored channel. Where grade control was a consideration, constructed riffles, grade control rock j -hook vanes, and rock cross vanes were installed to provide long-term stability. Streambanks were stabilized using a combination of erosion control matting, temporary and permanent seeding, live stakes, transplants, brush mattresses and geolifts. Transplants provide areas for living root mass to increase streambank stability and also to create holding areas for fish and aquatic biota. The purpose of the project is to restore stream functions to the impaired reaches the Site. Native species vegetation was planted across the Site and the entire project area is protected through a permanent conservation easement.

The Site lies in the Yadkin Pee -Dee River Basin, within the US Geological Survey (USGS) and North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Division of Mitigation Services (NCDEQ DMS) subbasin 03040101 (previously categorized as subbasin 03-07-02) and Targeted Local Watershed (TLW) 03040101-110060 of the Yadkin Pee Dee River Basin. 2.4 Project History and Background Land use at the Site consists primarily of pasture and forest. Candiff Creek had been channelized and riparian vegetation had been cleared at the lower half of the Site. The upstream end of the Site had a narrow, early successional buffer that included several exotic vegetation species. Prior to restoration, Candiff Creek was incised and lacked bedform diversity. As a result, channel degradation was widespread throughout the Site. The chronology of the Candiff Creek Restoration Project is presented in Table 2.

The woody vegetation was planted randomly from the top of the stream banks to the outer edge of the project's re -vegetation limits. In general, bare - root vegetation was planted at a target density of 680 stems per acre, in an 8 -foot by 840ot grid pattern. Live stakes were installed two to three feet apart in meander bends and six to eight feet apart in the riffle cross-sections. The live stakes were set up using triangular spacing along the stream banks between the toe of the stream bank and bankfull elevation. The tree species planted at the Site are shown in Table 5. The temporary seed planted following construction was rye grain. The permanent seed mix of herbaceous species planted in the project's riparian area included: redtop (Agrostis alba), big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii), beggartick (Bidens frondosa), lanceleaf tickseed (Coreopsis lanceolata), deertongue (Pancium clandestinum), Virginia wildrye (Elymus virginicus), soft rush (Juncus effusus), switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), smartweed (Polygonum pennsylvanicum), little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium), Indian grass (Sorghastrum nutan), and eastern gamma grass (Tripsacum dactyloides). This seed mixture was broadcast on the Site at a rate of 15 pounds per acre. All planting was completed in April 2012. At the time of planting, 13 vegetation plots — labeled 1 through 13 - were established on-site to monitor survival of the planted woody vegetation. Each vegetation plot is 0.025 acre in size, or 10 meters x 10 meters. All of the planted stems inside the plots were flagged to distinguish them from any colonizing individuals and to facilitate locating them in the future. The trees also were marked and labeled with aluminum metal tags to ensure that the correct identification is made during future monitoring of the vegetation plots. In addition to flagging and tags, the locations of planted stems and vegetation plot corners were recorded by use of survey equipment. 3.1.2 Vegetative Success Criteria To characterize vegetation success criteria objectively, specific goals for woody vegetation density have been defined. Data from vegetation monitoring plots should display a surviving tree density of at least 320 trees per acre at the end of the third year of monitoring, and a surviving tree density of at least 260 five-year-old trees per acre at the end of the five-year monitoring period.

Tables A.1 through A.7 in Appendix A presents vegetation metadata, vegetation vigor, vegetation damage and stem count data for the monitoring plots at the end of Year 5 monitoring. Data from Year 5 monitoring for the 13 vegetation plots exhibited a range of 607 to 931 stems per acre. The data show that the Site had an average survivability of 738 stems per acre following Year 5 monitoring. In comparison, following as -built conditions, the Site demonstrated an average survivability of 915 stems per acre. Trees within each monitoring plot are re -flagged regularly to prevent planted trees from losing their identifying marks due to flag degradation. It is important for trees within the monitoring plots to remain marked to ensure they are all accounted for during the annual stem counts and calculation of tree survivability. Labeled aluminum tags with wire hangers are used on surviving stems to aid in relocation during future counts. The aluminum tags are moved to a single branch instead of the main stem once the tree becomes established. Flags are also used to mark trees because they do not interfere with the growth of the tree. During Year 5 monitoring, volunteer species including tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipfera) and redbud (Cercus canadensis) were noted in plots 8 and 4, respectively. 3.1.4 Vegetative Problem Areas The kudzu problem area is located on the upstream portion of Reach M1, downstream of River - Siloam Road. During Year 5 monitoring, the majority of kudzu (Pueraria montana) which was present on the Site in the vicinity of vegetation plot 13 and the M 1 Enhancement area has been mostly eradicated. The 2016 site inspection did not note any areas of kudzu greater than 100 ft2. This area of kudzu was previously treated during construction in the spring of 2012, August 2014, October 2014, early August 2015, late August 2015 and in spring 2016. This area was treated by use of the herbicides Glyphosate and Triclopyr. Any remaining kudzu in this area will be treated again during the early growing season 2017. Additionally, stream enhancement work along M1 and UTI was completed in September 2015. During this time, the existing kudzu plants and roots were cleared within a large portion of the easement area. Property boundary fencing in the M1 vicinity was installed during the summer of 2015. This fence allows the landowner to graze cattle outside of the fenced conservation easement, which will prevent kudzu re-establishment. Additional bare -root trees were planted during the winter of 2015 in the riparian buffer areas along M1 and UTI to increase density and to offset mortality from treating kudzu. Following Year 5 monitoring, the newly planted stems in the enhancement are proving successful and are beginning to establish along the riparian buffer. Vegetation Plots 1 through 12 on reach M2 and M3 did not exhibit any invasive or aggressive species occurring on the Site. 3.1.5 Vegetation Photographs Photographs are used to visually document vegetation plot success. A total of 13 reference stations were established to document tree conditions at each vegetation plot across the Site. Candiff Creek Restoration Project, DMS Project No. 92767 12 November 2016, Monitoring Year 5 FINAL Reference photos of tree plots are taken at least once per year. Photos of the tree plots for Year 5 monitoring that show the on-site planted stems are included in Appendix A of this report. 3.2 Stream Assessment 3.2.1 Morphometric Success Criteria To document the stated success criteria, the following monitoring program was instituted following construction completion on the Site: Cross-sections: Two permanent cross-sections were installed per 1,000 LF of stream restoration work, with one of the locations being a riffle cross-section and one location being a pool cross-section in each series. A total of 10 permanent cross-sections were established across the Site. Each cross-section was marked on both banks with permanent pins to establish the exact transect used. The permanent cross-section pins are surveyed and located relative to a common benchmark to facilitate easy comparison of year-to-year data. The annual cross- section surveys include points measured at all breaks in slope, including top of bank, bankfull, inner berm, edge of water, and thalweg. The approved Mitigation Plan requires the following criteria be met to achieve stream restoration success: • There should be little change in as -built cross-sections • If changes do take place, they will be evaluated to determine if they represent a movement toward a more unstable condition (e.g., down -cutting or erosion) or a movement toward increased stability (e.g., settling, vegetative changes, deposition along the banks, or decrease in width/depth ratio) • Cross-sections will be classified using the Rosgen Stream Classification System (Rosgen, 1994), and all monitored cross-sections should fall within the quantitative parameters defined for channels of the design stream type. Longitudinal Profiles: A complete longitudinal profile was surveyed following construction completion to record as -built conditions and to establish a baseline profile. The profile was conducted for the entire length of each restored channel for all reaches. Measurements included thalweg, water surface, inner berm, bankfull, and top of low bank. Each of these measurements was taken at the head of each feature (e.g., riffle, pool, and glide). In addition, maximum pool depth was recorded. All surveys were tied to a single, permanent benchmark. The approved Mitigation Plan requires the following criteria be met to achieve stream restoration success: • A longitudinal profile will be completed annually for the five-year monitoring period • The profile will be conducted for 3,000 LF of restored Candiff Creek channel • The longitudinal profiles should show that the bedform features are remaining stable; i.e., they are not aggrading or degrading • Pools should remain deep, with flat water surface slopes, and the riffles should remain steeper and shallower than the pools Candiff Creek Restoration Project, DMS Project No. 92767 13 November 2016, Monitoring Year 5 FINAL • Bedforms observed should be consistent with those observed for channels of the designed stream type. 3.2.2 Morphometric Results Year 5 cross-section monitoring data for stream stability was completed during October 2016. The 10 permanent cross-sections along the restored channels (5 located across riffles and 5 located across pools) were re -surveyed to document stream dimension at the end of Monitoring Year 5. Data from each of these cross-sections are presented in Appendix B. Tables B.1 and B.3 in Appendix B present visual stability assessment data, the baseline stream summary and the morphologic and hydraulic monitoring summary. Cross-sections 1, 4, 6, 8 and 10 are situated across riffles that are located between pools. Monitored cross-sections 1, 4, 6, 8, and 10 are located on M3 and based on the survey data, these cross-sections demonstrated minor fluctuations in riffle dimension during Year 5 of monitoring and currently remain stable. Cross-sections 2, 3, 5, 7 and 9 are situated across pools, which are located at the apex of meander bends. Based on the Year 5 survey data, all five pool Cross-sections 2, 3, 5, 7 and 9 have demonstrated minor fluctuations in pool dimensions since as -built conditions. Based on the Year 5 monitoring survey data, all pool cross-sections show the development of point bar features on the inside banks of the meander bends. According to the Year 5 cross-section data, all cross-sections are currently meeting the success - criteria as stated in the Site Mitigation Plan. Note that some riffle cross sections are shown as having bank height ratios greater than 1.0. This is due to using the same bankfull elevation for each years monitoring and not adjusting this elevation to the yearly indicator, which may change due to natural deposition and channel fluctuation. These channels are not incised and are functioning as designed. The longitudinal profile for Year 5 monitoring was also completed in October 2016. The Year 5 longitudinal profile monitoring data were compared to the data collected during the as -built condition survey completed in April 2012. During Year 5 monitoring, the longitudinal profile survey was completed for Reach M3. A total stream length of 3,150 LF was surveyed for M3. The longitudinal profiles for M3 is presented in Appendix B. Year 5 monitoring data for the M3 longitudinal profile indicate that the riffles in this reach have essentially maintained the same bed elevations since as -built conditions. It is noted that increased pool depths were observed throughout most of M3. The deeper pools noted in M3 are benefiting the overall functionality of the Site by providing increased channel stability and also providing an area for energy dissipation while promoting greater habitat diversity. While the pools remain deep, the survey data indicate that the M3 riffles are stable. Additionally, the longitudinal profile for M3 demonstrates that the in -stream structures within the reach are stable and functioning as designed. According to the Year 5 longitudinal profile data, the restored stream thalweg is stable and currently meeting the success -criteria as stated in the Site Mitigation Plan. In -stream structures installed within the restored stream included constructed riffles, log vanes, rock j -hooks, log j -hooks, rock cross vanes, root wads and stream ford crossings. Visual observations of these structures throughout Year 5 monitoring indicate that all structures are Candiff Creek Restoration Project, DMS Project No. 92767 14 November 2016, Monitoring Year 5 FINAL functioning as designed and holding their post -construction grade. Structures that were installed to develop deeper pools, such as cross vanes and j -hooks, are performing their designed functions. Log vanes placed in meander areas have provided scour in pools to provide cover for aquatic wildlife. J -hooks placed in the lower end of the riffle areas have maintained riffle elevations and have provided downstream scour holes that provides aquatic habitat. Additionally, bioengineered structures placed on the outside of meander bends have provided bank stability and in -stream cover for fish and other aquatic organisms. However, two minor pool problem areas were observed during Year 5 monitoring. These two areas are described in Section 3.2.5. 3.2.3 Hydrologic Criteria One crest gauge was installed on the Site to document bankfull events. The gauge is checked during each site visit and records the stage of the highest out -of -bank flow between site visits. The gauge is located on the left bank on the downstream portion of M3 at station 55+50. The approved Mitigation Plan requires the following criteria be met to achieve stream restoration success: Two bankfull flow events must be documented within the five-year monitoring period. The two bankfull events must occur in separate years, otherwise, the stream monitoring will continue until two bankfull events have been documented in separate years. 3.2.4 Hydrologic Monitoring Results According to the on-site crest gauge, the Site experienced at least one significant bankfull flow event during Year 5 monitoring. The largest on-site bankfull flow event documented at the M3 crest gauge occurred on August 4, 2016. It is estimated that the height of highest flow at the M3 crest gauge observed in Year 5 was approximately 3.24 feet above bankfull stage. Photos of the reading and bankfull evidence are included in Appendix B. The approved Mitigation Plan requires that two bankfull flow events must be documented within the five-year monitoring period. Since As -built conditions, eight documented bankfull events have been recorded. Each of the five years of monitoring has documented at least one bankfull event within the restored channel. As such, the hydrologic success criteria for the Site has been met. Crest gauge readings from all five years of monitoring are presented in Table 6 and photos of the crest gauge in 2016 and out -of -bank evidence are presented in Appendix B Stream Photo Log. Table 6.

The dams are located at stations 43+75, 48+75 and 51+75. The dams are relatively small with the largest dam being at station 48+50. As of October 2016, the dams were not exhibiting adverse effects on the stream or stream banks. The beaver(s) are currently being trapped and the dams will be removed when the beaver have been eliminated from the Site. All beavers and dams will be removed prior to closeout (See Appendix for photo point PP20, Station 48+75 in the Stream Photo Log). Two pools located at stations 46+50 and 55+50 exhibited areas of erosion during Year 4 monitoring. The erosional areas observed in 2015 have not expanded and are currently stable. The erosional areas are occurring on outer bends below root wads and are approximately 20 feet in length combined. These two minor problem areas make up approximately 0.28% of the total as -built stream length of 7,018 feet. The erosional areas are isolated and are not trending towards long-term instability. Additional stream enhancement work along M1 and UTI was completed in September 2015. Bankfull benches were excavated and vertical stream banks were sloped to stable angles. In addition, vane structures and toe wood were installed along meander bends to protect the stream banks, provide additional habitat, and to provide long-term stream bank stabilization. No additional credit is being requested as a result of this work. During this time, the existing kudzu plants and roots were cleared within a large portion of the easement area. Per the permit conditions for the enhancement work, monitoring along M1 and UTI will be conducted for a minimum of one additional year beyond the monitoring required in the mitigation plan. This monitoring will include visual assessments conducted twice per year and the installation and annual monitoring of two bank pin arrays installed in the outside of meander bends. 3.2.6 Stream Photographs Photographs are used to document restoration success visually. A total of 59 reference stations were installed and photographed after construction. Photographs of these reference stations will be collected for at least five years following construction. Reference photos are taken at least twice per year, and are taken in enough locations to document the condition of the restored system. Permanent markers were established to ensure that the same locations (and view directions) on the Site are documented in each monitoring period. The stream systems are photographed longitudinally, beginning at the downstream portion of the restoration reaches, and moving upstream to the beginning of the reaches. Photographs are taken looking upstream at designated locations. Reference photo locations are marked and described for future reference. Points are spaced sufficiently close to provide an overall view of the reach. The angle of the photograph depends on which direction provides the best view and is noted and will be continued for future photos. When modifications to photo position and/or direction are made due to obstructions or other reasons, the modified photo position Candiff Creek Restoration Project, DMS Project No. 92767 16 November 2016, Monitoring Year 5 FINAL and/or direction is noted, along with any landmarks. The modified position is used in all future photographs of that site. Additional photographs are taken to document any observed evidence of flooding patterns such as debris, wrack lines, water marks, channel features, etc. Also, both stream banks are photographed at all permanent cross-section photo stations. For each stream bank photo, the photo view line follows a survey tape placed across the channel, perpendicular to flow (representing the cross-section line). The photograph is framed so that the survey tape is centered in the photo (appears as a vertical line at the center of the photograph), keeping the channel water surface line horizontal and near the lower edge of the frame. In each cross-section photo showing the left bank, flow is moving to the right. Conversely, in each cross-section photo showing the right bank, flowing is moving to the left. A photo log of the restored channel is presented in Appendix B of this report. Photos for each of the 10 permanent cross-sections are included in Appendix B. Photographs of the restored channel were taken in October 2016 to document the evolution of the stream geometry. Herbaceous vegetation and shrubs were dense along the banks of M2 and M3, making the photography of some of the stream channel areas difficult. Additionally, photographs of the enhancement work performed along M 1 and UT 1 are provided in Appendix B. 3.2.7 Stream Stability Assessment Table B.1 and Table B.1 a provide a summary of the results obtained from the visual inspection of in -stream structures performed during Year 5 monitoring. The percentages noted are a general, overall field evaluation of the how the features were performing at the time of the photo point survey. According to the visual stability assessment (Table B.1) and the visual morphological stability assessment (Table B.la) following Year 5 monitoring, and after a visual evaluation throughout 2016, it was determined that all features at the Site along M2, M3, and UT2 are currently performing as designed. With the recent enhancement activities, kudzu treatment, and planned re -planting, the features along M1 and UTI also meet performance standards. 3.2.8 Quantitative Measures Summary Tables The quantitative pre -construction, reference reach, and design data used to determine restoration approach, as well as the as -built baseline data used during the project's post construction monitoring period are summarized in Appendix B. Candiff Creek Restoration Project, DMS Project No. 92767 17 November 2016, Monitoring Year 5 FINAL 4.0 OVERALL CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Stream Monitoring - The total length of stream channel restored, enhanced and/or preserved on the Site was 7,038 LF. The project involved the restoration of 4,081 linear feet (LF) of stream along M3. Additionally 1,757 of stream Enhancement (265 LF of Enhancement I along M2 and 1,492 LF of Enhancement II along MI, UTI and UT2) and 1,200 LF of stream preservation along UTI and UT2. This entire length was inspected during Year 5 monitoring to assess stream performance. Year 5 monitoring did not reveal any significant problem areas within the boundaries of the Site. Cross-section monitoring data for stream stability were collected during Year 5 monitoring. Additionally, a longitudinal profile survey was also completed during Year 5 monitoring for approximately 3,150 LF of stream on the Site. The longitudinal profile was completed for Reach M3 only. Year 5 monitoring data for the M3 longitudinal profile show that the riffles in this reach have maintained relatively the same bed elevations since as -built conditions. The longitudinal profile demonstrates that the in -stream structures within M3 are stable and functioning as designed. The Year 5 cross-sectional data also indicate that Reach M3 is stable and functioning as designed. According to the on-site crest gauge, the Site experienced at least one significant bankfull flow events during Year 5 monitoring. The largest on-site bankfull flow event documented at the M3 crest gauge occurred on August 4, 2016. It is estimated that the height of highest flow at the M3 crest gauge observed in Year 5 was approximately 3.24 feet above bankfull stage. Since As -built conditions, eight documented bankfull events have been recorded as shown in Table 6. The approved Mitigation Plan requires that two bankfull flow events must be documented within the five-year monitoring period. Given that each of the five years of monitoring has documented a bankfull event within the restored channel, it is noted that the hydrologic success criteria for the Site has been met. Two pools located at stations 46+50 and 55+50 exhibited areas of erosion during Year 4 monitoring. The erosional areas observed in 2015 have not expanded and are currently stable (see photographs in Appendix B). The erosional areas are occurring on outer bends below root wads and are approximately 20 feet in length combined. These two areas are isolated and are not trending towards long-term instability. Additional stream enhancement work along M1 and UTI was completed in September 2015. Bankfull benches were excavated and vertical stream banks were sloped to stable angles. In addition, vane structures and toe wood were installed along meander bends to protect the stream banks, provide additional habitat, and to provide long-term stream bank stabilization. As a result of this work, no additional credit is being requested. M1 and UT1 have remained stable and are functioning as designed. It is also noted that no exposed bank pins were noted during Year 5 monitoring. Year 5 stream monitoring revealed that the Site has three beaver dams located along Reach 3. The dams are located at stations 43+75, 48+75 and 51+75 on Reach 3. The dams are relatively small with the largest dam being at station 48+50. As of October 2016, the dams were not exhibiting adverse effects on the stream or stream banks. The beaver(s) are currently being trapped and the dams will be removed when the beaver have been eliminated from the Site. See Appendix for photo point PP20, Station 48+75 in the Stream Photo Log). Candiff Creek Restoration Project, DMS Project No. 92767 18 November 2016, Monitoring Year 5 FINAL Vegetation Monitoring - Data from Year 5 monitoring for the 13 vegetation plots exhibited a range of 607 to 931 stems per acre. The data showed that the Site had an average of survivability of 738 stems per acre. During Year 5 monitoring, the majority of kudzu (Pueraria montana) which was present on the Site in the vicinity of vegetation plot 13 and the M 1 Enhancement area has been mostly eradicated. The 2016 site inspection did not note any areas of kudzu greater than 100 ft2. This area of kudzu was previously treated during construction in the spring of 2012, August 2014, October 2014, early August 2015, late August 2015 and in spring 2016. This area was treated by use of the herbicides Glyphosate and Triclopyr. Any remaining kudzu in this area will be treated again during the early growing season 2017. Kudzu in this area is now under control and of minimal concern. Vegetation Plots 1 through 12 on reach M2 and M3 did not exhibit any invasive or aggressive species occurring on the Site. The additional bare -root trees that were planted during the winter of 2015 in the riparian buffer areas along M1 and UTI are healthy and meeting success. 5.0 WILDLIFE OBSERVATIONS Observations of deer and raccoon tracks are common at the Site. During Year 5 monitoring, small animals such frogs, rodents, snakes, and fish were periodically observed. Various songbirds and birds of prey were observed on the Site throughout Year 5 monitoring.
