Executive Summary / Project Abstract I This report summarizes the monitoring efforts for Year 2 (2007) on the Trout Cove Stream Restoration in Clay County, NC. ' Monitoring of the vegetated buffer was performed during the growing season of 2007, by Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA (S&EC). Stem counts were performed within the established vegetation monitoring plots, resulting in a live stem density of approximately 590 stems per acre indicating vegetative success. No vegetative problem areas were observed. No significant infestations of exotic invasives or bare areas of soil that should be addressed. ' The stream channel was surveyed, and a visual stability assessment was performed. While several problem areas along the restored channel were observed, the overall channel is deemed stable and successful. Field observations indicate that at least 98% of all stream features, including riffles, pools, meanders, and channel bed and banks were stable. Although select in-channel rock structures were identified to have some ' minor problems, 95% of site structures were deemed stable. In 2008, Year 3 Monitoring will commence. Trout Cove Stream Restoration Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA Year 2 Monitoring - FINAL S&EC Job # 10079.D2 March 2008 1 II. Project Background The background information for this report was collected from previous monitoring data submitted to the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) by the Biological and Agricultural Engineering (BAE) Department at North Carolina State University (NCSU). A. Location and Setting The Trout Cove Stream Restoration Project consists of an approximately 6.32 acre property in southwestern Clay County, NC. The site is located south of US Highway 64 and east of old US Highway 64 approximately 2 miles north of the Georgia state line. The site is located along Trout Cove Road just north of the community of Ogden, NC. This area is shown in detail in the attached vicinity map (Figure 1). To visit the site from I-40, take 19/74 eastbound. Turn left on US 64 in Murphy, NC. Turn left onto Old US 64 and continue past Brasstown, NC. Turn left onto Trout Cove Road and a right onto McCray Road. The site will be located to your right. B. Structure and Objectives ' The restoration site consists of approximately 2,683 linear feet of stream restoration and approximately 6.32 acres of riparian buffer restoration. Explicit project objectives and restoration quantities were not included in the project history provided by NCEEP. Restoration units are estimates based on site data collected. The structure and objectives are detailed in Tables I and Il.

Monitoring Plan View Original site survey data was provided to S&EC by NCEEP including the location of a series of monitoring devices previously installed onsite. The survey included a total of 2,683 linear feet of longitudinal profile and five (5) cross-sections. During our Trout Cove Stream Restoration Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA Year 2 Monitoring - FINAL S&EC Job # 10079.D2 March 2008 4 initial site visit on January 12, 2006, all cross-sections were located. These same cross-sections were surveyed in 2006 and again in 2007. Using provided survey data from 2005, we located five (5) previously established vegetation monitoring plots. A single corner of each of these plots was marked with iron pin with a plastic yellow cap. Four permanent corners had not been set. During our August 21, 2006 site visit S&EC established permanent corners with 1.5-inch PVC. The permanent corners were located with the survey data collected in November 2006. In Year 2 (2007) NCEEP requested that two (2) additional vegetation plots be installed on the tributary to the main channel. Each surveyed stream cross-section and vegetation monitoring plot is also a designated photo point that is photographed annually. The locations of all monitoring devices are shown on Sheets 1 through 4 (Overall Site Plan and Monitoring Plan View). III. Project Condition and Monitoring Results A. Vegetation Assessment The Trout Cove stream restoration site vegetation is dense and healthy throughout the site with a variety of herbaceous and woody species. The site contains a lush herbaceous layer particularly in the wetland areas and pond edges. Herbaceous species observed included large amounts of goldenrod (Solidago sp.), boneset (Eupatorium perfoliatum), soft rush (Juncus effusus), sedges (Carex sp.), ironweed (Vernonia noveboracensis), great blue lobelia (Lobelia siphilitica), cutgrass (Leersia oryzoides) and jewelweed (Impatiens capensis). Larger trees (5-20 feet tall) can be seen throughout the buffer mostly consisting of black willow (Salix nigra), river birch (Betula nigra) and sycamore (Platanus occidentalis). Saplings and smaller individuals of oak, pine, maple, tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) and sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) were observed. Shrubs observed in the buffer included pepperbush (Clethra acuminata), silky dogwood (Cornus amomum), tag alder (Alnus serrulata), buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis) and possumhaw (Viburnum nudum). The buffer area also contains a large amount of blackberry (Rubus sp.) which is extremely dense in some areas. The stream bank vegetation is also extremely dense and primarily made up of tag alder (Alnus serrulata) and silky dogwood (Cornus amomum). Exotic, invasive plant species do not appear to be a problem on the Trout Cove restoration site. Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) was observed but it was not dense or widespread. Seven (7) vegetation monitoring plots were established onsite as previously described. Five (5) plots are standard l Om x IOm plots and two (2) are non-standard 5m x 20m plots. Two (2) new plots were established on the tributary in 2007 by S&EC. Trout Cove Stream Restoration Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA Year 2 Monitoring - FINAL S&EC Job # 10079.D2 March 2008 5 The vegetative success criteria for the site require a minimum of 320 live stems per acre for the first three (3) years of monitoring. At the end of Year 4, a density of 290 stems per acre is required. At the end of the 5-year monitoring period, a live stem density of 260 stems per acre is required. 1.

Problem Areas Plan View (vegetation) ' No vegetation problem areas were observed during visual inspection of the restoration site. 1 3. Stem Counts ' On June 12, 2007, S&EC conducted vegetation counts within each vegetation plot. The results of this survey are shown below in Table VIII. The taxonomic standard used for the counts is "Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, Georgia, and ' Surrounding Areas" by Alan S. Weakley. Vegetation counts were completed according to CVS-EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation Version 4.0. ' The following tree and shrub species were observed within the vegetation monitoring plots in previous monitoring years according to stem count data ' collected by S&EC: Acer Rubrum (Red Maple), Alnus serrulata (Tag Alder), Betula nigra (River Birch), Cephalanthus occidentalis (Buttonbush), Cornus amomum (Silky Dogwood), Liquidambar styraciflua (Sweetgum), Platanus ' occidentalis (Sycamore), Salix nigra (Black Willow) and Viburnum nudum (Possumhaw) . 1 1 ' Trout Cove Stream Restoration Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA Year 2 Monitoring - FINAL S&EC Job # 10079.D2 ' March 2008 6 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Trout Cove Stream Restoration Vegetation Monitoring (EEP Project# 388) Live Stem Counts per Plot arranged by Species Plot # Species Reach 1 Tributar 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Year 2 Totals Acer rubrum Red Maple 1 1 1 2 5 Alnus serrulata* Tag Alder 5 3 1 8 13 30 Betula nigra River Birch 1 4 5 10 Cephalanthus occidentalis Buttonbush 1 2 2 1 6 Clethra alnifolia Pepperbush 2 1 3 Cornus amomum Silky Dogwood 1 6 2 8 10 2 29 briodendron tulipifera Tulip poplar 1 1 2 Platanus occidentalis Sycamore 1 1 1 3 Salix nigra Black Willow 6 3 1 2 2 14 Year 2 2007 Plot Totals 9 17 4 24 29 11 8 102 Year 1 2006 Plot Totals 6 18 4 22 28 N/A N/A 78 Previous Plot Totals 5 4 5 22 14 N/A N/A 50 Plot Live Stem Density 364 689 162 972 1175 445 324 Overall Site Stem Density 590 * Numerous volunteers observed - not included in the stem counts shown The average number of stems per sample plot is approximately 14 stems. Based on this stem count, the 2007 (Year 2) vegetation monitoring of the site revealed an average live stem density of 590 stems per acre. As shown in Table VIII, one plot (Plot 3) has shown a stem density of less than the desired 320 stems per acre. However, while not quantified in the above table, each plot has shown a large number of volunteers in addition to the original planted stems including additional species such as Red Oak and Trout Cove Stream Restoration Year 2 Monitoring - FINAL March 2008 7 Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA S&EC Job # 10079.D2 Pepperbush. If these new plants are taken into consideration, stem density would likely be much higher than 320 stems per acre in that plot. 4.

Numbered Issues Photo Section Representative photos of each category of stream problem area were taken and are shown in Appendix B. 4. Fixed Photo Station Photos Photos from established photo stations (at each cross-section) were collected during the stream survey (November 2007). Cross-section photos taken during the Monitoring Year 1 survey (November 2006) are included for comparison. These photos are included in Appendix B. 5. Stability assessment A visual qualitative assessment was performed to inspect channel facets, meanders, bed, banks, and installed structures. This visual assessment was confirmed and enhanced with a quantitative assessment of the physical stream survey. The goal of this assessment is to provide a percentage of the features listed in Table X that are in a state of stability. Table X was compiled from the data in Table B 1 in Appendix B of this report.

Quantitative Morphology The following tables (Table XI and Table XII) summarize the quantitative data collected from the cross-sectional and longitudinal stream survey. Collected data was analyzed and summarized, and then compared with baseline data available for this project. The Quantitative Morphology Tables illustrate the degree of departure, if any, of the current channel from the baseline data. Trout Cove Stream Restoration Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA Year 2 Monitoring - FINAL S&EC Job # 10079.D2 March 2008 9 2005 stream survey data received from NCEEP, was collected and provided ' by NCSU. Two reaches of the stream channel originally surveyed in 2005 were again surveyed using assumed vertical and horizontal coordinates. ' We understand that a crest gauge has been installed on the site; however at the time of this submittal, no data from that gauge was available to S&EC. A ' review of available on-line USGS gauge sites was performed to determine if a suitable surrogate gauge was present in the area. No nearby gauge was identified. The closest USGS gauge to the site was on Brasstown Creek (near Brasstown, NC, Gauge Identification Number 03548330) which is approximately 3.3 miles from the project site. Based on this large distance, significant disparity in watershed sizes, and topographic variation, it is ' unlikely that a conclusive determination regarding the number of bankfull events experienced on the restoration site could be made. ' Based on observed site conditions, to include wrack lines, staining of vegetation, displaced/flattened vegetation, and observable sediment deposition, it appears that one or more overbank events have occurred during ' this monitoring year. Similar observations were made during 2006 by S&EC indicating that one or more bankfull events have occurred onsite in each of the last two monitoring years.
