Helms Email: ahelmskkci.com I _ Final Restoration Plan Bold Run Creek Stream/Buffer Restoration EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) intends to utilize the Bold Run Creek Site for a stream and buffer restoration project. This restoration plan presents detailed information regarding the existing site and watershed conditions, the morphological design criteria developed from a selected reference reach, and the project design parameters based upon natural channel restoration methodologies. The project site is part of a 31-acre parcel owned by NCEEP formerly owned by Mr. Douglas Darch. It is located 5 miles northwest of the Town of Wake Forest on Bold Hill Run Road, approximately 1.5 miles east of the intersection with Mangum Dairy Road in Wake County, North Carolina. The property is an active pasture for cattle grazing. The primary land use on the property is rangeland. Bold Run Creek is a second order (becomes third order at the confluence with New Light Creek) perennial stream that flows southwest through the subject property before joining New Light Creek. The project site is within the Neuse 01 watershed cataloging unit (8-digit HUC: 03020201), in a portion of the NCDWQ Priority Sub- basin 03-04-08. The NCEEP identifies this HUC as a Targeted Local Watershed. Based on the following existing and reference condition descriptions, the restoration goals and objectives for the Bold Run Creek Stream/Buffer Restoration project are as follows: Restoration Goals: ¦ Restore a stable channel morphology that is capable of moving the flows and sediment provided by its watershed; ¦ Improve water quality and reduce land and riparian vegetation loss resulting from lateral erosion and bed degradation through the establishment of bank and riparian vegetation and, ¦ Enhance aquatic and terrestrial habitat through the improvements to the stream water quality (improved oxygen content, reduced sediment and nutrients, variable stream bed features). ¦ Improve water quality through approximately 27.1 acres of buffer restoration throughout the project site. Restoration Objectives: ¦ Project success will be assessed utilizing measurements of stream dimension, pattern, and profile, site photographs, and vegetation sampling. These measurements should show little or no change from the as-built conditions. ¦ A stable channel is able to move the sediment supplied by its watershed without the channel aggrading or degrading. Through stream monitoring the stability of the restored stream will be evaluated. ¦ Riparian vegetation must meet a minimum survival success rate of 320 stems/acre after five years. The design proposes constructing 1,629 linear feet of meandering channel based on Priority Level II and IV approaches (Table 1). Approximately 1,453.7 linear feet of Level II and 175.6 linear feet of Level IV will be restored. The Level II restoration will establish a bankfull channel with a new floodplain, a channel bed at its existing level in an existing gravel layer, and the cross section dimensions necessary to provide stable flow maintenance and sediment transport. The Level IV design proposes to stabilize the bed and banks while maintaining the existing channel pattern Bold Run Creek will be restored to Rosgen stream type C4. Riparian buffers associated with the Bold Run Creek restoration will extend between fifty (50) to two hundred (200) feet on both sides of the stream. Currently, there are small drainage features located throughout the project site, which deliver direct runoff to Bold Run Creek. To maintain the water quality of Bold Run Creek, an approximate 200' buffer will extend on either side of the features. I• Final Restoration Plan Bold Run Creek Stream/Buffeer Restoration Table 1.

Sediment Transport Final Restoration Plan Bold Run Creek Stream/Buffer Restoration 1.0 PROJECT SITE IDENTIFICATION AND LOCATION The North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) intends to utilize the Bold Run Creek Site for a stream and buffer restoration project. This restoration plan presents detailed information regarding the existing site and watershed conditions, the morphological design criteria developed from a selected reference reach, and the project design parameters based upon natural channel restoration methodologies. - 1.1 Directions to Project Site The project site is part of a 31-acre parcel owned by NCEEP formerly owned by Mr. Douglas Darch. It is - located 5 miles northwest of the Town of Wake Forest on Bold Hill Run Road, approximately 1.5 miles - east of the intersection with Mangum Dairy Road in Wake County, North Carolina. The site is situated southwest of Bold Hill Run Road and south from the Granville/Wake County Line (Figure 1. Project Site Vicinity Map). 1.2 USGS Hydrologic Unit Code and NCDWQ River Basin Designations - Bold Run Creek is a second order (becomes third order at the confluence with New Light Creek) - perennial stream that flows southwest through the subject property before joining New Light Creek. - The project site is situated within the Neuse 01 watershed cataloging unit (8-digit HUC: 03020201) and - the 03020201065010, Local Watershed Unit (14-digit HUC). It also falls within the NCDWQ Subbasin 03-04-08. The NCEEP identifies this HUC as a Targeted Local Watershed. Targeted local watersheds are those that exhibit the need and opportunity for stream and riparian buffer restoration. The results benefit • water quality, aquatic habitat and other vital watershed functions (NCEEP, 2002) • 2.0 WATERSHED CHARACTERIZATION The project site is located in a rural setting within the Northern Outer Piedmont ecoregion of the - Piedmont physiographic province (Figure 2. North Carolina Ecoregions Map). Site topography is - characterized as gently rolling hills with elevations ranging from 270 feet above mean sea level (AMSL) to 320 feet AMSL. - 2.1 Drainage Area The project watershed containing the study area, as seen in Figure 3 (Project Site Watershed Map), drains approximately 12 square miles (7,650 acres) and occupies the southwest corner of the headwaters of the • Falls Lake Drainage area. The project watershed, which includes Bold Run Creek and New Light Creek, is located west off of US Highway 1 on the Wake and Granville County Line, with the majority of the watershed in Granville County. 2.2 Surface Water Classification/Water Quality For the water resources classification, New Light Creek, as the receiving waters, was used to characterize Bold Run Creek.

New Light Creek is designated as WS-IV, NSW, and CA. The project area (Bold Run Creek) is located upstream from this designated portion. • WS-IV waters are used as sources of drinkable water, which are also protected for Class C uses. WS- IV waters are generally in moderately to highly developed watersheds or Protected Areas (NCDENR, 2005). Class C uses are "waters protected for secondary recreation, fishing, wildlife, fish and aquatic life propagation and survival, agriculture and other uses suitable for Class C" (NCDENR, 2005). • Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW) is a supplemental classification intended for waters needing additional nutrient management due to their being subject to excessive growth of microscopic or macroscopic vegetation. In general, management strategies for point and nonpoint source pollution control require control of nutrients (nitrogen and/or phosphorus usually) such that excessive growths of vegetation are reduced or prevented and there is no increase in nutrients over target levels. Management strategies are site-specific (NCDENR, 2005). • Class CA waters indicate a Critical Area within a water supply watershed (NCDENR, March 2005). 2.3 Physiography, Geology and Soils Local geology consists of metamorphic rocks of the Raleigh Belt. These include metamorphosed biotite gneiss and schist, meta-ultramafic rock, and felsic mica gneiss. According to the NRCS, Wake County Soil Survey, Chewacla (Cm), Wehadkee silt loam (Wn), Wehadkee and Bibb soils (Wo), Altavista fine sandy loam 0 to 4 percent slopes (AfA), Madison sandy laom 15 to 25 percent slopes, eroded (MdE2) and Wilkes soils 20 to 45 percent slopes (WwF) are the predominant soil types located within the project boundary (Figure 4. Project Site NRCS Soils Survey Map). However, during a July 14, 2005 field investigation, Steven Stokes, LSS mapped the predominant soils as a Chewacla variant with inclusions of Riverview (Figure 5. Project Site Soil Classification Map). According to the Wake County Soil Survey, Chewacla (Cm) is described as a somewhat poorly drained soil. The Chewacla soils investigated on the project site were well to moderately well drained soils, therefore the Chewacla variant classification was selected to describe these soils. Riverview soils are currently not mapped by the Wake County NRCS. 2.4 Historical Land Use and Development Trends 2.4.1 Historical Resources Historical aerial photographs were obtained from the Wake County Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) office in order to enhance the assessment of existing site conditions. The intent of the review was to understand the chronology of land disturbance and aid in the evaluation of the site and the development of an appropriate restoration strategy. Aerial photographs of the site were obtained from 1949, 1954, 1965, 1971, 1981, 1988, and 1993 (Appendix A). In 1949, the subject property closely resembled the existing conditions, however the area on the west of the project site appears to be forested. In 1959, 1965, and 1971, the subject property resembles current conditions. In 1981, the subject property appears to be reforested in the north section.

The stream channel appeared to follow the pattern observable today. No changes in either the stream valley or stream channel within the project area were observed in the historical aerial photographs. Therefore, any alterations to the stream channel occurred prior to 1949. No significant changes have occurred in the project area since 1949. 2.4.2 Land Use and Development Potential An Anderson Level I classification indicates that the contributing drainage area consists of: forest (79%0), agriculture (13%), rangeland (6%), urban (<1%), and wetlands / open water (2%) land use / land cover ; (Figure 6. Land Use and Land Cover Map). Land use around the project area is mostly forest with new residential developments (NCDENR, November 2001). The property is an active pasture for cattle grazing. No machinery or structures are located on the subject property. The primary land use on the property is rangeland. New Light Creek forms the western property boundary, while Bold Hill Run Road borders the eastern boundary, respectively. 2.5 Endangered/Threatened Species A formal review by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NHP) was requested in July 2005 to identify the presence of rare species, critical habitats, and priority natural areas on the project site and to determine the potential impact of the proposed project on these resources. In their Findings Letter dated September 20, 2005 (Appendix B), the NHP indicated "no record of rare species, significant natural communities, or priority natural areas at the site or within 0.7-mile of the project area". In addition, no threatened or endangered species were identified in the project area during the existing conditions site assessment. Also, a formal review by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) was requested in July 2005, however, no correspondence has been returned. 2.6 Wetlands A review of the National Wetland Inventory (NWI) maps for the project area identified no wetland systems (Figure 7. National Wetland Inventory Map). The NWI maps were reviewed using the 200-feet buffer width. Criteria to delineate and/or determine whether wetlands are jurisdictional include evidence of hydric soils, hydrophytic vegetation and evidence of certain hydrologic characteristics during the growing season. Using the aforementioned wetland criteria, no wetlands were found in the project area during the field investigation. 2.7 Cultural Resources To evaluate the presence of significant cultural resources on the subject property and the potential that the proposed project would impact them, KCI requested a formal review at the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources, State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). The formal SHPO review identified one historic architecture site, the W.D. Bailey House. The site is located approximately one mile east of the project site. It is not anticipated that this record occurrence would be impacted by the proposed restoration project. (See Appendix B). The formal review by the State Archeology Office identified no potential archeology sites on or around the subject property. m Project Site Figure 6.

Existing information regarding project site constraints was acquired and reviewed. In addition, any site conditions that have the potential to restrict the restoration design and implementation were documented during the field investigation. Table 2 summarizes the identified constraints related to the implementation of site restoration activities.

FEMA Regulated Area P E ect area within Zone X and No-Rise Certification A 2.8.1 Hazardous Materials The presence or likely presence of hazardous substances on the subject property and surrounding area under conditions that indicate a past, present or potential release into the ground, groundwater, or surface water was evaluated. The evaluation included a review of public record environmental database information and a visual site inspection. A report meeting ASTM E1527-00 Standards for records search requirements was obtained summarizing existing federal and state database information regarding known environmental conditions for the subject property and surrounding area. No conditions of environmental concern were identified on the Bold Run Project Site or within the specified search radii. 11 Final Restoration Plan Bold Run Creek Stream/Buffer Restoration An Environmental Screening Inspection (ESI) was conducted on the subject property in June 2005. The purpose of the ESI was to visually evaluate the presence or evidence of any recognized environmental concerns on the study site and surrounding areas. The ESI identified no recognized environmental concerns that would have the potential to impact stream and buffer restoration on the project site. The findings of the field investigation were documented on an Environmental Screening Inspection Form with corresponding photographs (Appendix Q. 2.8.2 Property Ownership and Boundary KCI obtained copies of the property deed dating back to 1950 from the Wake County Register of Deeds in August 2005 (Table 3). The property deeds can be found on the CD included with the Restoration Report. Table 3.

The first access point currently exists off of Bold Hill Run Road located on the southeastern corner of the project site. The second access point will be established on the southeastern portion of the project, located northwest from the first access entrance. The accessible road will be approximately (170' x 14') which leads directly to the right of way for access to the utility line. During construction of the proposed stream, construction equipment will have access to the stream channel and will be able to maneuver up and down the channel, as necessary. 2.8.4 Utilities A power line easement (Wake Electric) transects the subject property in a southeast-northwest orientation. The documentation for the power line easement can be found in Appendix D. Wake Electric has a 100 feet right of way along the utility line. During construction and post construction, Wake Electric will have access to the utility poles located on the project site. Wake Electric will access the site by way of the two existing entrances mentioned in section (2.8.3). Two stabilized riffle grade control crossings will be installed for machinery access to the utility lines located adjacent to the stream (Refer to Plan Sheet 4). Also no vegetation will be planted along the 100-foot utility easement and access road on the project site. 13 Final Restoration Plan Bold Run Creek Stream/Buffer Restoration 2.8.5 FEMA/Hydrologic Trespass Bold Run Creek is located within the 100-year floodplain (Figure 8. Project Site Floodplain Map). As such, any modifications to the stream that would result in the increase of the 100-year flood elevation would require a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR). It is the intent of the restoration design to maintain the 100-year flood elevation at the current level following restoration. The FEMA provided an existing conditions HEC-2 model. The model parameters were reviewed to verify that the conditions represent a benchmark hydraulic condition that can be compared to post- restoration conditions. The existing conditions model will be revised to reflect changes to the channel and floodplain as a result of.the restoration. A proposed hydrology and hydraulics (H&H) summary will be submitted with a letter indicating that an increase in the 100-year flood elevation is not anticipated (No-Rise Certification). The proposed project reach is entirely contained within the Darch property. The restoration of the project reach is not anticipated to produce hydrologic trespass conditions on any adjacent properties. 3.0 PROJECT SITE STREAMS (EXISTING CONDITIONS) A site field assessment was conducted in June 2005 to document existing conditions and evaluate the potential for stream and riparian buffer restoration. Observations and collected data are summarized below, illustrated in Figure 9 (Existing Channel or Site Conditions Map), and documented in the site photographs (Appendix E). The site was revisited several times from June to September 2005 to take further measurements, to install a stream gauge, and to collect hydrology data from the instruments (Figure 10. Project Site Hydrologic Features and Gauge Locations Map). 3.1 General Site Description The Bold Run Creek project reach includes approximately 1,600 linear feet of perennial stream channel. The project reach begins at Station 11+00. Several stream bedrocks exist in the upper reach. The upstream portion of Bold Run Creek is a "134c" and "174" stream type, while the downstream portion is a "G4c" stream type. Severe bank erosion throughout the stream has resulted from poor grazing management. Bed degradation is evident and sedimentation from bank erosion is widespread. One tributary (UT1) and one ephemeral channel enter Bold Run Creek. UT1 is a small, intermittent reach that joins Bold Run Creek near Station 12+00. The ephemeral channel is located near the downstream portion of Bold Run Creek. The channel starts at the bottom of a slope and runs parallel before connecting with Bold Run Creek at Station 23+00. The channel was ditched in the early 1960's to intercept runoff from the adjacent slope. Stream assessment forms were prepared for the channel; they are included in Appendix F. Four (4) drainage features exist on the project site. Drainage 1 connects to the left bank of Bold Run Creek near the start of the project at Station 11+75. Drainage 2 starts at Bold Hill Run Road and directly connects to Bold Run Creek. Drainage 3 connects to the right bank of Bold Run Creek in the middle portion of the stream reach. Drainage 4 begins with two small drainage features beginning at the eastern portion of the project boundary, near Bold Hill Run Road. The two drainage features connect to a larger drainage feature in the middle of the project site, in the open field area, and runs south before connecting to New Light Creek on the left bank. 14 I• 0,117, 7'J' rrt71r1r?rT t ?vt1 r t: e f / t f1_ I?I fl! rt r f fi -Y f, Figure 8.

The first utility pole is located approximately 20 feet from the right stream bank. The second utility pole is located approximately 40 feet from the right stream bank near Station 16+50. The third utility pole is centrally located in the project site and the fourth pole is situated adjacent to New Light Creek. 3.2 Channel Classification The upstream portion of Bold Run Creek is classified as a "134c" and "F4" stream type. The stream begins as a moderately entrenched channel (1.7) with a moderate width-to-depth ratio (11.6). Proceeding downstream, the channel becomes entrenched and widens as the stream transitions into an "F" type channel. Near Station 24+00, the channel narrows as Bold Run Creek changes to a "G4c" type stream. Low width-to-depth and entrenchment ratios and high bank height ratios are typical of "G" type streams. 3.3 Channel Morphology (Pattern, Dimension, and Profile) A Rosgen Level III assessment was conducted to gather existing stream dimension, pattern, and profile data and determine the potential for restoration. Channel cross-sections and bed materials were surveyed at six representative locations along Bold Run Creek. Data developed from these surveys are summarized below (Table 4) with detailed data provided in Appendix G. Table 4.

This assessment facilitates the decision-making process with respect to restoration alternatives and establishing goals for successful restoration. Bold Run Creek exhibits characteristics of an unstable channel, most notably bed degradation and bank erosion. Poor grazing management is the primary mechanism of disturbance, however the past removal of bank and riparian vegetation has exacerbated the bank erosion (eliminated rooting strength and cover protection). Bank height ratios in excess of 1.5, as well as the presence of several exposed bedrocks in Bold Run Creek, provide evidence of past bed degradation. Based on the field measurements, further degradation and widening can be expected in the lower section of the project before it will be aggrade and re-stabilize at the lowered base elevation. 3.5 Bankfull Verification The standard methodology used in natural channel design is based on the ability to select the appropriate bankfull discharge and generate the corresponding bankfull hydraulic geometry from a stable reference system(s). Thus, the determination of bankfull stage is the most critical component of the natural channel design (NCD) process. Bankfull can be defined as "the stage at which channel maintenance is most effective, that is, the discharge at which moving sediment, forming or removing bars, forming or changing bends and meanders, and generally doing work that results in the average morphologic characteristics of the channels," (Dunne and Leopold, 1978). Several characteristics that commonly indicate the bankfull stage include: incipient point of flooding, breaks in slope, changes in vegetation, highest depositional features (i.e. point bars), and highest scour line. The identification of Bankfull stage especially in a degraded system can be difficult. Therefore, verification measures must be taken to ensure the correct identification of the bankfull stage. The three methods used to verify bankfull stage at Bold Run Creek were regional hydraulic geometry relationships (regional curves), a pressure transducer/data logger combination gauge that monitored actual water level in Bold Run Creek throughout the study period, and a hydrology/hydraulics model to evaluate flow and sediment transport. Regional curves are typically utilized in ungauged areas to approximate bankfull discharge, area, width, and depth as a function of drainage area based on inter-related variables from other similar streams in the same hydrophysiographic province. Regional curves and corresponding equations from "Bankfull Hydraulic Geometry Relationships for North Carolina Streams" (Harman et al., 1999) were used to approximate Bankfull in the project reach. Based on the regional curves, a bankfull discharge and cross- sectional area of 130 ft3/s and 25 ft2 would be anticipated. Stream stage data (water levels) were collected from Bold Run Creek. Data was collected for four months (July through October) and water levels were correlated to an estimated discharge using a rating curve generated for the gauged section. During the gauging period, no significant storm events were recorded. The maximum discharge event was approximately 14 ft3/s on October 8 h. KCI will continue to monitor the stage of Bold Run Creek in an attempt to validate the design discharge. Hydrograph data is provided in Appendix 1. Information from the regional curves and from the hydrologic monitoring was used in conjunction with the Hydrologic Engineering Center River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) software to refine the bankfull 19 Is F-6 Final Restoration Plan Bold Run Creek Stream/Buffer Restoration determinations. The model allows for analysis of one-dimensional (1-D) steady state flow by solving for the energy equation. The approximate discharges calculated using the Manning open channel flow equation were run through the modeled reaches. The outputs corresponded well with the field indicators and to the subsequent calculations of the existing morphological variables. A summary data output developed from the model is provided below (Table 5). Table 5. HEC-RASH drolo is Variables Station Profile Bed Elev. WS Elev. EG Elev. EG Sloe Veloci Area Width F.N.

These areas are largely devoid of natural habitat communities. Mature trees sporadically line the channel throughout the project reach. Also mature trees are located along the hill slope bordering Bold Run on the left bank. It is the intent of the restoration project to salvage any valuable trees that may provide immediate shade to the restored channel. On July 14, 2005, Steven Stokes and April Helms classified the existing natural communities in accordance with a "Classification of the Natural Communities of North Carolina, Third Approximation" (Schafale and Weakley, 1990). The flora, including dominant species per stratum, were identified and recorded. Two community types were identified within the project area. The first community was classified as Piedmont/Mountain Bottomland Forest. This community is located in the southeastern portion of the project, near Bold Hill Run Road. The dominant species observed in this community are as follows: Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), Green Ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), Black Walnut (Juglans nigra), Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda), and Winged Elm (Ulmus alata). The second community was classified as Piedmont/Mountain Levee Forest. This community is located along the levee of New Light Creek and the banks of Bold Run Creek. The dominant species observed along the levee of New Light Creek are as follows: American Elm (Ulmus americana), Sweet Gum (Liquidambar styracijlua), River Birch (Betula nigra), Japanese Honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), and Chinese Privet (Ligustrum sinense). The dominant species observed along the banks of Bold Run Creek are as follows: Sycamore, Southern magnolia (Magnolia grandijlora), Vietnamese Stilt Grass (Microstigium viminium), River Birch, and Black Walnut. 20 Fe- Final Restoration Plan Bold Run Creek Stream/Buffer Restoration 4.0 REFERENCE STREAMS A reference reach is a channel with a stable dimension, pattern, and profile within particular valley morphology. The reference reach is used to develop dimensionless morphological ratios (based on bankfull stage) that can be extrapolated to disturbed/unstable streams to restore a stream of the same type and disposition as the reference stream (Rosgen, 1998). An upstream reach of Richland Creek located on the west side of the Town of Wake Forest was selected to serve as a reference reach for the restoration of Bold Run Creek. Richland Creek flows south from its headwaters in Franklin County towards its confluence with the Neuse River (Figure 11. Reference Site Vicinity Map). It drains approximately 4.8 square miles of low-density residential, agriculture, and forested lands. This selection was based on: location in the same hydrophysiographic province, similar valley morphology, and similar sediment regime as the project site. Both streams are found in the northern outer Piedmont ecoregion where local topography is relatively consistent with each other. Approximately 400 linear feet of Richland Creek were surveyed in August 2004 and re-evaluated in August 2005 (Appendix H contains supporting documentation from the field assessment). This reach of Richland Creek was classified as a "C4" channel type. The dimensionless hydraulic geometry relationships were developed from stable channel dimensions to facilitate the design of the proposed channel cross-sections for the Bold Run Creek restoration reach. 4.1 Watershed Characterization Richland Creek is situated within the northeastern portion of the Piedmont physiographic province, which is typified by rolling topography with broad ridges, sharply indented stream valleys, and narrow, low- gradient floodplains. The Richland Creek watershed (USGS 14-digit Hydrologic Unit 03020201070060) is located within sub-basin 03-04-02 of the Neuse River Basin. The headwaters of the Richland Creek form to the west and south of Youngsville, North Carolina. The watershed extends south-southwest to a point approximately 1.5 miles downstream of the Falls Reservoir Dam where Richland Creek joins the Neuse River. The portion of Richland Creek evaluated for the reference survey is located between the Franklin/Wake County Line and Harris Road in Wake Forest, North Carolina. Capital Boulevard (US 1) roughly bounds the watershed to the west and the Seaboard Coast Railroad Line bounds it to the east (Figure 12. Reference Site Watershed Map). The topographic relief within the project reach is approximately 25 feet, ranging from approximately 282 feet above mean sea level (AMSL) at the upstream limits of Section 1 to 257 feet AMSL at the downstream limits at the Stadium Drive Bridge. 4.2 Channel Classification Richland Creek is classified as a "C4" stream type. The majority of the cross-section calculations contain an entrenchment ratio greater than 2.2, for a "C" or "E" with a width to depth ratio slightly greater 12. 21 T17.

These methods included regional hydraulic geometry relationships (regional curves), a pressure transducer / data logger combination gauge that monitored actual water level in Richland Creek throughout the study period, and a hydrology/hydraulics model (HEC-RAS) to evaluate flow and validate field calls. Regional curves and corresponding equations from "Bankfull Hydraulic Geometry Relationships for North Carolina Streams" (Harman et al., 1999) were used to approximate bankfull in the project reach. Based on the regional curves, a bankfull discharge and cross-sectional area of 270 W/s and 70 ft2 would be anticipated at the Richland Creek Reference Reach. Stream stage data (water levels) were collected downstream of the Richland Creek Reference Reach. Data was collected for five months and water levels were correlated to an estimated discharge using a rating curve generated for the gauged section. Three significant flow events occurred during the monitoring period. Richland Creek in the vicinity of the gauge discharged 309, 185, and 155 W/s for each of these events, respectively. This corresponded to a maximum discharge of approximately 210 - 220 ft /s in the reference reach. The hydrology/hydraulics model provided a water surface profile and cross-sectional depiction based on the sections surveyed during the reference reach assessment. This method provided a further means to validate the discharge approximated in the reference reach section, as well as verify the field-call Bankfull stage. 4.4 Channel Morphology (Pattern, Dimension, Profile) A Rosgen Level III assessment was conducted to gather existing stream dimension, pattern, and profile data and determine the potential for restoration. Channel cross-sections and bed materials were surveyed at five representative locations along Richland Creek. Data developed from these surveys are provided in Appendix H. 4.5 Vegetation A field survey was conducted to identify and document the dominant plant communities in the project area. Several distinct community mosaics were recognized, and complete species lists with dominance were compiled. These lists were utilized to best fit the communities described in the Classification of Natural Communities of North Carolina (Schafale & Weakley, 1990). The natural community in the reference area was the Piedmont Levee Forest. Piedmont Levee Forests are prevalent along the active levee position of Richland Creek. Woody species of the canopy include Fraxinus pennsylvanica (green ash), Platanus occidentalis (sycamore), Betula nigra (river birch), Liquidambar styraciua (sweet gum), Acer negundo (boxelder), and Juglans nigra (black walnut). Species in the overstory dominate those in the understory. 24 70- Final Restoration Plan Bold Run Creek Stream/Buffer Restoration 5.0 PROJECT SITE RESTORATION PLAN 5.1 Restoration Project Goals and Objectives Based on the existing and reference condition descriptions, the restoration goals and objectives for the Bold Run Creek Stream/Buffer Restoration project are as follows: Restoration Goals: ¦ Restore a stable channel morphology that is capable of moving the flows and sediment provided by its watershed; ¦ Improve water quality and reduce land and riparian vegetation loss resulting from lateral erosion and bed degradation through the establishment of bank and riparian vegetation and, ¦ Enhance aquatic and terrestrial habitat through the improvements to the stream water quality (improved oxygen content, reduced sediment and nutrients, variable stream bed features). ¦ Improve water quality through approximately 27.1 acres of buffer restoration throughout the project site. Restoration Objectives: ¦ Project success will be assessed utilizing measurements of stream dimension, pattern, and profile, site photographs, and vegetation sampling. These measurements should show little or no change from the as-built conditions. ¦ A stable channel is able to move the sediment supplied by its watershed without the channel aggrading or degrading. Through stream monitoring the stability of the restored stream will be evaluated. ¦ Riparian vegetation must meet a minimum survival success rate of 320 stems/acre after five years. 5.1.1 Designed Channel Classification The restoration design of Bold Run Creek will be restored to a Rosgen stream type "C4" and is based on Priority Level II and IV approaches, as described in "A Geomorphological Approach to Restoration of Incised Rivers", (Rosgen, 1997.) For clarity and convenience, definitions of the four restoration priorities are provided in Table 6. The design proposes constructing 1,629 linear feet of meandering channel using a Priority Level II and IV approach. Approximately 1,453.7 linear feet of Level II and 175.6 linear feet of Level IV will be restored. The Level II restoration will establish a bankfull channel with a new floodplain, a channel bed at its existing level in an existing gravel layer, and the cross section dimensions necessary to provide stable flow maintenance and sediment transport. The Level IV design proposes to stabilize the bed and banks while maintaining the existing channel pattern (planform) (Figure 13. Proposed Planform). The design bankfull stage will equal the floodplain elevation in the new channel (bank height ratio = 1.0). The establishment of a stable bedform (i.e., riffle-pool sequence, pool spacing) will be addressed in the profiling of the design channel. The proposed stream dimension, pattern, and profile will be based on the detailed morphological criteria and hydraulic geometry relationships developed from the reference streams, see Table 7. Refer to the attached plan sheet drawings. In-stream structures will be incorporated to reduce the burden of energy dissipation on the channel geometry. Cross Vanes and Rock Sill Grade Controls (Refer to Plan Sheet 2) will be used to stabilize the restored channel. These structures are designed to reduce bank erosion and the influence of secondary circulation in the near-bank region of stream bends. The structures further promote efficient sediment transport and produce/enhance in-stream habitat. Coir fiber matting will be used to provide temporary stabilization on the newly graded streambanks. The confluence of tributaries with the restored stream will 25 Final Restoration Plan Bold Run Creek Stream/Buffer Restoration be stabilized with grade control structures where necessary to match the proposed grade of the restored main channel (Refer to Plan Sheet 4 where UT1 joins Bold Run). The restoration project will also include other non-stream related components: • Cattle exclusion fencing will be installed along the outer boundary of the restored riparian buffers and a permanent conservation easement will be recorded to protect the site in perpetuity. • Two stabilized riffle grade control crossings will be installed to provide access to the utility power lines located on the project site. 26 +, r laa3 6661 6Ndod8woydoyuD /ng8(7 'SID ,JunOJ RPM : d»noS )N 10 S3IVIDOSSY LUOISA wfil SZI 0 979 SZI I D x laa3 SZI slunba yaul I (ION auaull 9•9L0 uOUB-101sag AI,CI!JOl.>d N tuippold pasodoad •01 amn2i,l 009' F I (ION .Uaull L•£Sb`I) uOllesolsag II XWO"d +, 2? a N_ • *u ;il ,.fir. .. , . !...

These areas will receive species consistent with a Piedmont Levee Forest and Piedmont Bottomland Forest community. The typical Piedmont Levee Forest is seasonally to intermittently flooded. The vegetation may consist of mature climax forest, or may be in various stages of primary or secondary succession (Schafale and Weakley 1990). The typical Piedmont Bottomland Hardwood community is flooded at least occasionally. Bottomland Forests are believed to form a stable climax forest with uneven-aged canopy with primarily gap phase regeneration (Schafale and Weakley 1990). 5.2.1 Target Buffer Communities The Neuse River Buffer Rule (15A NCAC 2B .0233) applies to 50-foot (15.24 m) wide buffers directly adjacent to surface waters in the Neuse River Basin (intermittent streams, perennial streams, lakes, ponds, and estuaries), excluding wetlands. The Neuse River Buffer Rules (NBR) is administered by the NCDWQ. The purpose of this rule is to protect and preserve existing riparian buffers in the Neuse River Basin and to maintain their nutrient removal functions. This rule is applicable to all streams identified on either the most recent local county soil survey or the most recent USGS topographic map. If stream features are not present on either map, the area is not subject to the rule, even if a stream is present. The Neuse Riparian Buffer Rules were enacted to protect and preserve existing riparian buffers to maintain their function for protection of water quality (NCDWQ, 2002). Currently, there are small drainage features located throughout the project site, which deliver direct runoff to Bold Run Creek. To maintain the water quality of Bold Run Creek, an approximate 200' buffer will extend on either side of the features (Figure 14. Proposed Planting Plan). 5.2.2 Planting Zones Two planting zones will be incorporated into the planting plan. Zone A is classified as a Levee Area; which runs along the levee of New Light Creek. Zone B is classified as a Bottomland Hardwood Area; which will border the streamside planting area along Bold Run Creek and run along the Levee area and the remaining portion of the site. Included in Zone A and B is a 20' streamside planting area bordering New Light Creek and Bold Run Creek, will also be planted with riparian vegetation. There is a small portion, approximately 1.30 acres, in the middle of Zone B that was classified during the field investigation with wetter soils (Chewacla) (Refer to Figure 5). This particular area will be planted with tolerable, higher moisture Bottomland Hardwood species. The planting plan in Figure 14 illustrates the two zones that will be used to target restoration vegetation. 5.2.3 Plant Sources Field assessment observations, Guidelines for Riparian Buffer Restoration (NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources Ecosystems Enhancement Program 2004), and community descriptions from Classification of the Natural Communities of North Carolina (Schafale and Weakley 1990) were all used to develop the species to be planted on the site. 5.2.4 Plant Care and Installation All hardwood species on site will be planted using bare root plants. Four hundred thirty-six (436) trees per acre (based on an average 10' x 10' spacing) will be planted in rows to achieve a mature survivability of three hundred twenty (320) trees per acre in the riparian zone (NCDENR, 2001). 30 Is ? e ?M F C u (F C 3 C, a r :, l o C, .. . .

Plantings shall consist of native species, which are available during the time of planting. The Bottomland Hardwood area will be vegetated with native woody and herbaceous plant materials. In general, the two planting zones will consist of the following species groupings: Zone A: Levee Area Black Walnut Juglans nigra FACU Willow Oak Quercus phellos FACW- Overcup Oak Quercus lyrata FACW Slippery Elm Ulmus rubra FAC Streamside River Birch Betula nigra FACW Boxelder Acer negundo FACW American Sycamore Platanus occidentalis FACW- Zone B: Bottomland Hardwood Area Tulip Poplar Liriodendron tulipifera FACW- Cherrybark Oak Quercus pagoda FAC+ Willow Oak Quercus phellos FACW- Swamp Chestnut Oak Quercus michauxii FACW- High Moisture Area Green Ash Fraxinus pennsylvanica FACW American Elm UlmusAmericana FACW Silky Dogwood Cornus amomum FACW Herbaceous vegetation shall consist of a native grass mix that may include: Bluestem Andropogon glomeratus Deertongue Panicum clandestinum Orchardgrass Dactylis glomerata Switchgrass Panicum virgatum Virginia wildrye Elymus virginicus Rye grain (Secale cereale) and/or brown top millet (Pennisetum glaucum) will be used for temporary stabilization. In addition to the native seed mix and stabilization seeding, live stakes shall be installed to assist in stabilizing the stream banks. The following species may be used for live staking: Black Willow Elderberry Silky Willow Silky Dogwood Salix nigra Sambucus canadensis Salix sericea Cornus amomum 32 1 Final Restoration Plan Bold Run Creek Stream/Buffer Restoration 5.2.6 Schedule Woody vegetation planting will take place during the dormant season. 5.2.7 Site Preparation and Stabilization The stream restoration project will generally utilize the same belt width as the existing channel, however some areas will require clearing to achieve the appropriate pattern outlined in the design criteria. The cleared areas will be re-vegetated with native woody and herbaceous plant materials. Following the re- vegetation, riparian buffers associated with the Bold Run Creek restoration will extend between fifty (50) to two hundred (200) feet on both sides of the stream. The trees targeted for removal will be treated with herbicide in late summer when the trees have leafed out entirely or in the winter once the sap has stopped flowing. A glyphosate herbicide will be applied at this time. The trees will be left either downed or standing to provide habitat for terrestrial species. 5.2.8 Maintenance C1 a A pre-emergent herbicide will be sprayed in mid-March following the planting of the bare root seedlings to control the herbaceous vegetation. This allows time for rainfall to settle the soil around the roots of the seedlings, newly planted during the dormant season, but before the buds begin to swell in the spring. Reducing competition from herbaceous vegetation is an important step to ensure maximum survivability of the planted seedlings. Correspondingly, nurturing the site with regular management activities is considered necessary to ensure i that the goals and objectives of the project are met. These activities will be conducted throughout the year. If the monitoring identifies failures in the project site, a remedial action plan will be developed to investigate the causes of the failure and propose actions to rectify the problem. 5.2.9 On-site Invasive Species Management Part of the regular management activities will include invasive species control for the project site. Invasive species control will primarily focus on removing the existing invasive species, Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) and Vietnamese Stilt Grass (Microstigium viminium). It is recommended that a glyphosate herbicide with a 2 to 3-percent solution be used as a foliar spray (Miller, 2004). The herbicidal treatment will be conducted during late summer, early fall. Herbicidal treatments will be conducted yearly if needed. 5.3 Sediment Transport Analysis A stable channel is able to move the sediment supplied by its watershed without aggrading or degrading. This ability is evaluated through two parameters: competency and capacity. Competency is the channel's ability to move particles of a certain size, expressed as units of Pascals (Pa) or lbs/ft . Capacity is the channel's ability to move a specific volume of sediment (sediment discharge). Sediment discharge is the amount of sediment moving through a cross section over a specified period of time, expressed in dimensionless parameters or as mass or weight units of kg/sec or lbs/sec. • The flow associated with the threshold movement of the streambed is the reference condition that all sediment transport models are based upon. In natural streambeds there are particles of a wide range of sizes. At low, but significant flow levels, the smallest particles will move, while the larger particles resist i • 33 Final Restoration Plan Bold Run Creek Stream/Buffer Restoration the flow of the stream. This is the condition of partial sediment transport. As the stream flow increases, eventually every particle on the streambed will show threshold movement, this is the condition of full sediment transport. There is a wide range of sand-gravel streams that have the flow conditions necessary to significantly move particles greater than the D50, but do not reach the full sediment transport condition. This condition is present in Bold Run Creek, and the model used for the sediment transport analysis was Wilcock-Crowe (2003). The Wilcock-Crowe model is a "sediment capacity" model; however, it also contains an entrainment predictor. Entrainment is the condition that initiates the movement of a selected particle size in the presence of a mix grade channel bed. If the largest particle that moves during a bankfull event can be identified, then the flow conditions that produced this movement can be determined and this flow condition (the channel competency) is used in the design of the restored stream channel. In basic terms, given the bed surface grain-size distribution and the bed shear velocity, the Wilcock- Crowe Surface-Based Transport Model (SBTM) calculates the bedload transport rate and the bedload grain-size distribution. Using a hydraulics model, one can predict the shear velocity and discharge characteristics that will provide the necessary sediment transport capacity. By making the sediment transport and discharge dimensionless, this analysis can be scaled to another stream channel, separate from the reference reach, that has a similar sediment distribution. In this case, it was applied to the Bold Run Creek design section. In the Richland Creek Reference Reach, the approximate bankfull depth was 3.7 feet (1.1 m). The shear velocity (u*) associated with this discharge based on the hydraulics model was 0.17 meters per second (m/s). This shear velocity corresponded to a dimensionless sediment transport rate (qT*) of 2.5E-05. A qT* value of 2.5E-05 intersects with a dimensionless water discharge (qW*) of approximately 750 for the Bold Run Creek design slope (0.007) on the Bold Run River State Diagram (Figure 15). The proposed design channel will discharge approximately 92 W/s over the area subject to bedload transport with a u* = 0.14 m/s. The water discharge (qw) for this event based on the Manning-Strickler Resistance Equation is 1.25, which correlates to a qW* value of 595 (0 = 20.7%). This is based on a db5o (median diameter of the bedload) value of approximately 6.5 millimeters. qW* = qv / (((s-1)g)'/2 (db5o)3/2 = 1.252 / (((2.65 - 1) 9.81)'2 (6.45E-03)32 = 595 Where: s is the specific gravity of sediment, g is the gravitational constant, and all other variables are as defined above.

Specifically, project success will be assessed utilizing measurements of stream dimension, pattern, and profile, site photographs, and vegetation sampling. 6.1 Streams The purpose of monitoring is to evaluate the stability of the restored stream. Following the procedures established in the USDA Forest Service Manual, Stream Channel Reference Sites (Harrelson, et.al, 1994) and the methodologies utilized in the Rosgen stream assessment and classification system (Rosgen, 1994 and 1996), data collected will consist of detailed dimension and pattern measurements, a longitudinal profile, and bed materials sampling. Dimension - Five permanent cross-sections, three riffle and two pools, will be established and used to evaluate stream dimension. Permanent monuments will be established by either conventional survey or GPS. The cross-section surveys shall provide a detailed measurement of the stream and banks, to include points on the adjacent floodplain, at the top of bank, bankfull, at all breaks in slope, the edge of water, and thalweg. Subsequently, width/depth ratios and entrenchment ratios will be calculated for each cross- section. Cross-section measurements should show little or no change from the as-built cross-sections. If changes do occur, they will be evaluated to determine whether they are minor adjustments associated with settling and increased stability or whether they indicate movement toward an unstable condition. Pattern - Measurements associated with the restored channel pattern will include belt width, meander length, and radius of curvature. Subsequently, sinuosity, meander width ratio and radius of curvature and meander length/bankfull width ratios will be calculated. Profile - A longitudinal profile of the entire restored channel will be surveyed. Measurements will include slopes (average, pool, riffle), as well as calculations of pool-to-pool spacing. Annual measurements should indicate stable bedform features with little change from the as-built survey. The pools should maintain their depth with lower water surface slopes, while the riffles should remain shallower and steeper. Bed Materials - Pebble counts will be conducted at each representative cross-section for the purpose of repeated classification and to evaluate sediment transport. Photograph Reference Points Photograph reference points (PRP) will be established to assist in characterizing the site and to allow qualitative evaluation of the site conditions. The location and bearing/orientation of each photo point will be permanently marked in the field and documented to allow for repeated use. Cross-section Photograph Reference Points Each cross-section will be photographed to show the form of the channel with the tape measure stretched over the channel for reference in each photograph. Effort will be made to consistently show the same area in each photograph. 36 Final Restoration Plan Bold Run Creek Stream/Buffer Restoration Longitudinal Photograph Reference Points Additional PRPs will be located, as needed, to document the condition of specific in-stream structures such as cross vanes, as well as infrastructure associated with the stream such as utility and road crossings. 6.2 Vegetation The success of the riparian buffer plantings will be evaluated using 55 (5% of total buffer area) ten by ten meter (10m x 10m) vegetative sampling plots. The corners of each monitoring plot will be permanently marked in the field. The monitoring will consist of a physical inventory within each plot and a subsequent statistical analysis in order to determine the following: composition and number of surviving species, and total number of stems per acre. Additionally, a photograph will be taken of each plot that will be replicated each monitoring year. Riparian vegetation must meet a minimum survival success rate of 320 stems/acre after five years. If monitoring indicates that the specified survival rate is not being met, appropriate corrective actions will be developed, to include invasive species control, the removal of dead/dying plants and replanting. 6.3 Schedule/Reporting The first scheduled monitoring will be conducted during the first full growing season following project completion. Monitoring shall subsequently be conducted annually for a total period of five (5) years. Annual monitoring reports will be prepared and submitted after all monitoring tasks for each year are completed. Each report will provide the new monitoring data and compare the new data against previous findings. The monitoring report will follow the format described in the EEP document entitled "Content, Format, and Data Requirements for EEP Monitoring Reports." 37 Final Restoration Plan Bold Run Creek Stream/Buffer Restoration 7.0 REFERENCES Doll, B.A., D.E.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers's Falls Lake lands lie roughly 0.7 air-mile downstream of the project site. Thus, it is important that proper sedimentation controls be in place to avoid any downstream impacts to these Federal' Lands and their waters (Falls Lake,),. You may wish to check the Natural Heritage Program database website at <,w",vAy.nespark5 tietlnhl2/searcli.htrnl> for a listing of rare plants and animals and significant natural communities in the county and on the topographic quad map.

A portion of this property (refer to attached layout) is currently under investigation as a stream and wetland restoration project for the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). The funding for this project comes from the USDOT Federal Highway Administration through NCDOT. The current land use in the project area includes predominantly Agricultural Pasture Fields. The restoration would improve water quality and provide greater protection for aquatic ecosystems from surrounding agricultural lands. This type of work typically involves enhancing streams to create more natural and stable channels through minor grading, use of in-stream rock features. and reforestation of riparian buffers. A soil classification was performed on the site recently. The following soils were found on the project site; Chewacla- 1.3 acres. Chewacla variant- 163 ) acres, Chewacla Riverview- 7.6 acres.

Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d), and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.). The North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program is currently investigating a stream and wetland restoration site along New Light Creek, a headwater tributary to Palls-of-the-Neuse Reservoir in the Neuse River basin. There are records for the federal species of concern and state significantly rare pinewoods shiner (Lythrurus matutinus) and state significantly rare Carolina ladle crayfish (Camharus davidi') in New Light Creek. Current land use is agricultural pasture. The project would involve minor grading to form natural, stable stream channels, use of instream rock features and reforestation of the riparian buffers. The proposed restoration project should improve water quality and aquatic habitat. Additionally, establishing a forested riparian buffer should improve terrestrial habitat and provide a travel corridor for wildlife species. We do not anticipate significant adverse impacts to fish and wildlife resources from the proposed project. Thank you for the opportunity to review this project.

Stream and Wetland Restoration Project Project Number 120537438 Dear ir. Jordan, Please accept this information pertaining to the proposed Bold Run Stream and Wetland Restoration Project, which is located' approximately 5 miles northwest of the Town of Wake Forest on Bold Hill Run Road approximately 1.5 miles cast of the intersection with Mangum Dairy Road in Wake County, as a submittal for review of the Endangered Species Act, Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, and Migratory Bird Treaty Act by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. A portion of this property (refer to attached layout) is currently under investigation as a stream and wetland restoration project for the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). The current land use in the project area includes predominantly Agricultural Pasture Fields, The restoration would improve water duality and provide greater protection for aquatic ecosystems from surrounding agricultural lands. This type of % ork typically involves enhancing streams to create more natural and stable channels through minor grziding,. use of in-stream rock features, and reforestation of riparian buffers. As part of the environmental documentation process (Categorical Exclusion), coordination with the USFWS is requested for compliance with the Endangered Species Act, Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, and Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Following the review of the included documentation, please provide a determination of the potential effects to endangered species, wildlife, or migratory girds associated with this project. Please feel tree to contact, me at (919) 783-9214, ext. 133, should you have any questions or require any further information to process this request. Thank you in advance for your assistance and attention. Sincerely, q,- n April Helms Project Manager KCI As5cc1.,,TFs OF N10. RiTl1 CAROLINA, RA.. 4W",I"Ci C0111 Final Restoration Plan Bold Run Creek Stream/Buffer Restoration Appendix C Environmental Screening Inspection Forms ENVIRONMENTAL SCREENING INSPECTION (ESI) FORM The objective of the ESI is to have an Inspector screen a property for the visual presence of the items listed on this form without making an evaluation of the conditions or history of the observed concerns. This ESI Form defines the scope of work to be performed in a checklist format, and also serves as the report document once the Inspector has recorded the observations taken during the inspection, and has attached the site plan and photographs. This form was completed in the field by an Inspector who conducted a non-destructive visual inspection of the subject property to document observations on-site and, to the extent possible, on the adjacent properties. The inspector did not disturb, dismantle or rearrange any materials, containers or equipment in performance of the inspection. The entire subject property was covered in a manner conducive to observing and recording evidence of environmental concern. Photographs depicting the general overall condition of the site as well as each item of environmental concern are included. 1.

Helms Email: ahelms(a)kci.com I _ Final Restoration Plan Bold Run Creek Stream/Buffer Restoration EXECUTIVE SUIVINVIARY The North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) intends to utilize the Bold Run Creek Site for a stream and buffer restoration project. This restoration plan presents detailed information regarding the existing site and watershed conditions, the morphological design criteria developed from a selected reference reach, and the project design parameters based upon natural channel restoration methodologies. The project site is part of a 31-acre parcel owned by NCEEP formerly owned by Mr. Douglas Darch. It is located 5 miles northwest of the Town of Wake Forest on Bold Hill Run Road, approximately 1.5 miles east of the intersection with Mangum Dairy Road in Wake County, North Carolina. The property is an active pasture for cattle grazing. The primary land use on the property is rangeland. Bold Run Creek is a second order (becomes third order at the confluence with New Light Creek) perennial stream that flows southwest through the subject property before joining New Light Creek. The project site is within the Neuse 01 watershed cataloging unit (8-digit HUC: 03020201), in a portion of the NCDWQ Priority Sub- basin 03-04-08. The NCEEP identifies this HUC as a Targeted Local Watershed. Based on the following existing and reference condition descriptions, the restoration goals and objectives for the Bold Run Creek Stream/Buffer Restoration project are as follows: Restoration Goals: ¦ Restore a stable channel morphology that is capable of moving the flows and sediment provided by its watershed; ¦ Improve water quality and reduce land and riparian vegetation loss resulting from lateral erosion and bed degradation through the establishment of bank and riparian vegetation and, ¦ Enhance aquatic and terrestrial habitat through the improvements to the stream water quality (improved oxygen content, reduced sediment and nutrients, variable stream bed features). ¦ Improve water quality through approximately 27.1 acres of buffer restoration throughout the project site. Restoration Objectives: ¦ Project success will be assessed utilizing measurements of stream dimension, pattern, and profile, site photographs, and vegetation sampling. These measurements should show little or no change from the as-built conditions. ¦ A stable channel is able to move the sediment supplied by its watershed without the channel aggrading or degrading. Through stream monitoring the stability of the restored stream will be evaluated. ¦ Riparian vegetation must meet a minimum survival success rate of 320 stems/acre after five years. The design proposes constructing 1,629 linear feet of meandering channel based on Priority Level II and IV approaches (Table 1). Approximately 1,453.7 linear feet of Level II and 175.6 linear feet of Level IV will be restored. The Level II restoration will establish a bankfull channel with a new floodplain, a channel bed at its existing level in an existing gravel layer, and the cross section dimensions necessary to provide stable flow maintenance and sediment transport. The Level IV design proposes to stabilize the bed and banks while maintaining the existing channel pattern Bold Run Creek will be restored to Rosgen stream type C4. Riparian buffers associated with the Bold Run Creek restoration will extend between fifty (50) to two hundred (200) feet on both sides of the stream. Currently, there are small drainage features located throughout the project site, which deliver direct runoff to Bold Run Creek. To maintain the water quality of Bold Run Creek, an approximate 200' buffer will extend on either side of the features. i Final Restoration Plan Bold Run Creek Stream/Buffer Restoration Table 1.

This restoration plan presents detailed information regarding the existing site and watershed conditions, the morphological design criteria developed from a selected reference reach, and the project design parameters based upon natural channel restoration methodologies. 1.1 Directions to Project Site The project site is part of a 31-acre parcel owned by NCEEP formerly owned by Mr. Douglas Darch. It is located 5 miles northwest of the Town of Wake Forest on Bold Hill Run Road, approximately 1.5 miles east of the intersection with Mangum Dairy Road in Wake County, North Carolina. The site is situated southwest of Bold Hill Run Road and south from the Granville/Wake County Line (Figure 1. Project Site Vicinity Map). 1.2 USGS Hydrologic Unit Code and NCDWQ River Basin Designations Bold Run Creek is a second order (becomes third order at the confluence with New Light Creek) perennial stream that flows southwest through the subject property before joining New Light Creek. The project site is situated within the Neuse 01 watershed cataloging unit (8-digit RUC: 03020201) and the 03020201065010 Local Watershed Unit (14-digit HUC). It also falls within the NCDWQ Subbasin 03-04-08. The NCEEP identifies this HUC as a Targeted Local Watershed. Targeted local watersheds are those that exhibit the need and opportunity for stream and riparian buffer restoration. The results benefit water quality, aquatic habitat and other vital watershed functions (NCEEP, 2002) 2.0 WATERSHED CHARACTERIZATION The project site is located in a rural setting within the Northern Outer Piedmont ecoregion of the Piedmont physiographic province (Figure 2. North Carolina Ecoregions Map). Site topography is characterized as gently rolling hills with elevations ranging from 270 feet above mean sea level (AMSL) to 320 feet AMSL. 2.1 Drainage Area The project watershed containing the study area, as seen in Figure 3 (Project Site Watershed Map), drains approximately 12 square miles (7,650 acres) and occupies the southwest corner of the headwaters of the Falls Lake Drainage area. The project watershed, which includes Bold Run Creek and New Light Creek, is located west off of US Highway 1 on the Wake and Granville County Line, with the majority of the watershed in Granville County. 2.2 Surface Water Classification/Water Quality For the water resources classification, New Light Creek, as the receiving waters, was used to characterize Bold Run Creek.

New Light Creek is designated as WS-IV, NSW, and CA. The project area (Bold Run Creek) is located upstream from this designated portion. • WS-IV waters are used as sources of drinkable water, which are also protected for Class C uses. WS- IV waters are generally in moderately to highly developed watersheds or Protected Areas (NCDENR, 2005). Class C uses are "waters protected for secondary recreation, fishing, wildlife, fish and aquatic life propagation and survival, agriculture and other uses suitable for Class C" (NCDENR, 2005). • Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW) is a supplemental classification intended for waters needing additional nutrient management due to their being subject to excessive growth of microscopic or macroscopic vegetation. In general, management strategies for point and nonpoint source pollution control require control of nutrients (nitrogen and/or phosphorus usually) such that excessive growths of vegetation are reduced or prevented and there is no increase in nutrients over target levels. Management strategies are site-specific (NCDENR, 2005). • Class CA waters indicate a Critical Area within a water supply watershed (NCDENR, March 2005). 2.3 Physiography, Geology and Soils Local geology consists of metamorphic rocks of the Raleigh Belt. These include metamorphosed biotite gneiss and schist, meta-ultramafic rock, and felsic mica gneiss. According to the NRCS, Wake County Soil Survey, Chewacla (Cm), Wehadkee silt loam (Wn), Wehadkee and Bibb soils (Wo), Altavista fine sandy loam 0 to 4 percent slopes (AfA), Madison sandy laom 15 to 25 percent slopes, eroded (MdE2) and Wilkes soils 20 to 45 percent slopes (WwF) are the predominant soil types located within the project boundary (Figure 4. Project Site NRCS Soils Survey Map). However, during a July 14, 2005 field investigation, Steven Stokes, LSS mapped the predominant soils as a Chewacla variant with inclusions of Riverview (Figure 5. Project Site Soil Classification Map). According to the Wake County Soil Survey, Chewacla (Cm) is described as a somewhat poorly drained soil. The Chewacla soils investigated on the project site were well to moderately well drained soils, therefore the Chewacla variant classification was selected to describe these soils. Riverview soils are currently not mapped by the Wake County NRCS. 2.4 Historical Land Use and Development Trends 2.4.1 Historical Resources Historical aerial photographs were obtained from the Wake County Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) office in order to enhance the assessment of existing site conditions. The intent of the review was to understand the chronology of land disturbance and aid in the evaluation of the site and the development of an appropriate restoration strategy. Aerial photographs of the site were obtained from 1949, 1954, 1965, 1971, 1981, 1988, and 1993 (Appendix A). In 1949, the subject property closely resembled the existing conditions, however the area on the west of the project site appears to be forested. In 1959, 1965, and 1971, the subject property resembles current conditions. In 1981, the subject property appears to be reforested in the north section. 5 Is f7 - , r Soil Series MAfA -Altavista Fine Sandy Loam, 0 To 4 Percent Slopes ®AsC2 - Appling Fine Sandy Loam, 6 To 10 Percent Slopes, Eroded =AgB2 - Appling Gravelly Sandy Loam, 2 To 6 Percent Slopes, Eroded =AgC2 - Appling Gravelly Sandy Loam, 6 To 10 Percent Slopes, Eroded =Au - Augusta Fine Sandy Loam MCIE3 - Cecil Clay Loam, 10 To 20 Percent Slopes, Severely Eroded =CeB2 - Cecil Clay Loam, 2 To 6 Percent Slopes, Eroded = CeC2 - Cecil Clay Loam, 6 To 10 Percent Slopes, Eroded MCIC3 - Cecil Clay Loam, 6 To 10 Percent Slopes, Severely Eroded =CeD - Cecil Sandy Loam, 10 To 15 Percent Slopes =CeB2 - Cecil Sandy Loam, 2 To 6 Percent Slopes, Eroded ®CeC2 - Cecil Sandy Loam, 6 To 10 Percent Slopes, Eroded =Cm - Chewacla Soils A =MdD2 - Madison Sandy Loam, 10 To 15 Percent Slopes, Eroded =MdE2 - Madison Sandy Loam, 15 To 25 Percent Slopes, Eroded OMdB2 - Madison Sandy Loam, 2 To 6 Percent Slopes, Eroded i ,.

The stream channel appeared to follow the pattern observable today. No changes in either the stream valley or stream channel within the project area were observed in the historical aerial photographs. Therefore, any alterations to the stream channel occurred prior to 1949. No significant changes have occurred in the project area since 1949. 2.4.2 Land Use and Development Potential An Anderson Level I classification indicates that the contributing drainage area consists of forest (79%), agriculture (13%), rangeland (6%), urban (<1%), and wetlands / open water (2%) land use / land cover (Figure 6. Land Use and Land Cover Map). Land use around the project area is mostly forest with new residential developments (NCDENR, November 2001). The property is an active pasture for cattle grazing. No machinery or structures are located on the subject property. The primary land use on the property is rangeland. New Light Creek forms the western property boundary, while Bold Hill Run Road borders the eastern boundary, respectively. 2.5 Endangered/Threatened Species A formal review by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NHP) was requested in July 2005 to identify the presence of rare species, critical habitats, and priority natural areas on the project site and to determine the potential impact of the proposed project on these resources. In their Findings Letter dated September 20, 2005 (Appendix B), the NHP indicated "no record of rare species, significant natural communities, or priority natural areas at the site or within 0.7-mile of the project area". In addition, no threatened or endangered species were identified in the project area during the existing conditions site assessment. Also, a formal review by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) was requested in July 2005, however, no correspondence has been returned. 2.6 Wetlands A review of the National Wetland Inventory (NWI) maps for the project area identified no wetland systems (Figure 7. National Wetland Inventory Map). The NWI maps were reviewed using the 200-feet buffer width. Criteria to delineate and/or determine whether wetlands are jurisdictional include evidence of hydric soils, hydrophytic vegetation and evidence of certain hydrologic characteristics during the growing season. Using the aforementioned wetland criteria, no wetlands were found in the project area during the field investigation. 2.7 Cultural Resources To evaluate the presence of significant cultural resources on the subject property and the potential that the proposed project would impact them, KCI requested a formal review at the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources, State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). The formal SHPO review identified one historic architecture site, the W.D. Bailey House. The site is located approximately one mile east of the project site. It is not anticipated that this record occurrence would be impacted by the proposed restoration project. (See Appendix B). The formal review by the State Archeology Office identified no potential archeology sites on or around the subject property. 8 V ?

FEMA Regulated Area Project area within Zone X and No-Rise Certification I AE 2.8.1 Hazardous Materials The presence or likely presence of hazardous substances on the subject property and surrounding area under conditions that indicate a past, present or potential release into the ground, groundwater, or surface water was evaluated. The evaluation included a review of public record environmental database information and a visual site inspection. A report meeting ASTM E1527-00 Standards for records search requirements was obtained summarizing existing federal and state database information regarding known environmental conditions for the subject property and surrounding area. No conditions of environmental concern were identified on the Bold Run Project Site or within the specified search radii. 11 Final Restoration Plan Bold Run Creek Stream/Buffer Restoration An Environmental Screening Inspection (ESI) was conducted on the subject property in June 2005. The purpose of the ESI was to visually evaluate the presence or evidence of any recognized environmental concerns on the study site and surrounding areas. The ESI identified no recognized environmental concerns that would have the potential to impact stream and buffer restoration on the project site. The findings of the field investigation were documented on an Environmental Screening Inspection Form with corresponding photographs (Appendix Q. 2.8.2 Property Ownership and Boundary KCI obtained copies of the property deed dating back to 1950 from the Wake County Register of Deeds in August 2005 (Table 3). The property deeds can be found on the CD included with the Restoration Report.

Darch and Helen C. 12/8/1950 Wheelous Darch 2.8.3 Site Access There will be two access points to the project site. Both access points will be accessible from Bold Hill Run Road. The first access point currently exists off of Bold Hill Run Road located on the southeastern corner of the project site. The second access point will be established on the southeastern portion of the project, located northwest from the first access entrance. The accessible road will be approximately (170' x 14') which leads directly to the right of way for access to the utility line. During construction of the proposed stream, construction equipment will have access to the stream channel and will be able to maneuver up and down the channel, as necessary. 2.8.4 Utilities A power line easement (Wake Electric) transects the subject property in a southeast-northwest orientation. The documentation for the power line easement can be found in Appendix D. Wake Electric has a 100 feet right of way along the utility line. During construction and post construction, Wake Electric will have access to the utility poles located on the project site. Wake Electric will access the site by way of the two existing entrances mentioned in section (2.8.3). Two stabilized riffle grade control crossings will be installed for machinery access to the utility lines located adjacent to the stream (Refer to Plan Sheet 4). Also no vegetation will be planted along the 100-foot utility easement and access road on the project site. 13 F -e Final Restoration Plan Bold Run Creek Stream/Buffer Restoration 2.8.5 FEMA/Hydrologic Trespass Bold Run Creek is located within the 100-year floodplain (Figure 8. Project Site Floodplain Map). As such, any modifications to the stream that would result in the increase of the 100-year flood elevation would require a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR). It is the intent of the restoration design to maintain the 100-year flood elevation at the current level following restoration. The FEMA provided an existing conditions HEC-2 model. The model parameters were reviewed to verify that the conditions represent a benchmark hydraulic condition that can be compared to post- restoration conditions. The existing conditions model will be revised to reflect changes to the channel and floodplain as a result of the restoration. A proposed hydrology and hydraulics (H&H) summary will be submitted with a letter indicating that an increase in the 100-year flood elevation is not anticipated (No-Rise Certification). The proposed project reach is entirely contained within the Darch property. The restoration of the project reach is not anticipated to produce hydrologic trespass conditions on any adjacent properties. 3.0 PROJECT SITE STREAMS (EXISTING CONDITIONS) A site field assessment was conducted in June 2005 to document existing conditions and evaluate the potential for stream and riparian buffer restoration. Observations and collected data are summarized below, illustrated in Figure 9 (Existing Channel or Site Conditions Map), and documented in the site photographs (Appendix E). The site was revisited several times from June to September 2005 to take further measurements, to install a stream gauge, and to collect hydrology data from the instruments (Figure 10. Project Site Hydrologic Features and Gauge Locations Map). 3.1 General Site Description The Bold Run Creek project reach includes approximately 1,600 linear feet of perennial stream channel. The project reach begins at Station 11+00. Several stream bedrocks exist in the upper reach. The upstream portion of Bold Run Creek is a "B4c" and "F4" stream type, while the downstream portion is a "G4c" stream type. Severe bank erosion throughout the stream has resulted from poor grazing management. Bed degradation is evident and sedimentation from bank erosion is widespread. One tributary (UT1) and one ephemeral channel enter Bold Run Creek. UT1 is a small, intermittent reach that joins Bold Run Creek near Station 12+00. The ephemeral channel is located near the downstream portion of Bold Run Creek. The channel starts at the bottom of a slope and runs parallel before connecting with Bold Run Creek at Station 23+00. The channel was ditched in the early 1960's to intercept runoff from the adjacent slope. Stream assessment forms were prepared for the channel; they are included in Appendix F. Four (4) drainage features exist on the project site. Drainage 1 connects to the left bank of Bold Run Creek near the start of the project at Station 11+75. Drainage 2 starts at Bold Hill Run Road and directly connects to Bold Run Creek. Drainage 3 connects to the right bank of Bold Run Creek in the middle portion of the stream reach. Drainage 4 begins with two small drainage features beginning at the eastern portion of the project boundary, near Bold Hill Run Road. The two drainage features connect to a larger drainage feature in the middle of the project site, in the open field area, and runs south before connecting to New Light Creek on the left bank. 14 Final Restoration Plan Bold Run Creek Stream/Buffer Restoration A power line easement transects the project site with four (4) utility poles. The first utility pole is located approximately 20 feet from the right stream bank. The second utility pole is located approximately 40 feet from the right stream bank near Station 16+50. The third utility pole is centrally located in the project site and the fourth pole is situated adjacent to New Light Creek. 3.2 Channel Classification The upstream portion of Bold Run Creek is classified as a "B4c" and "F4" stream type. The stream begins as a moderately entrenched channel (1.7) with a moderate width-to-depth ratio (12.6). Proceeding downstream, the channel becomes entrenched and widens as the stream transitions into an "F" type channel. Near Station 24+00, the channel narrows as Bold Run Creek changes to a "G4c" type stream. Low width-to-depth and entrenchment ratios and high bank height ratios are typical of "G" type streams. 3.3 Channel Morphology (Pattern, Dimension, and Profile) A Rosgen Level III assessment was conducted to gather existing stream dimension, pattern, and profile data and determine the potential for restoration. Channel cross-sections and bed materials were surveyed at six representative locations along Bold Run Creek. Data developed from these surveys are summarized below (Table 4) with detailed data provided in Appendix G. Table 4.

This assessment facilitates the decision-making process with respect to restoration alternatives and establishing goals for successful restoration. Bold Run Creek exhibits characteristics of an unstable channel, most notably bed degradation and bank erosion. Poor grazing management is the primary mechanism of disturbance, however the past removal of bank and riparian vegetation has exacerbated the bank erosion (eliminated rooting strength and cover protection). Bank height ratios in excess of 1.5, as well as the presence of several exposed bedrocks in Bold Run Creek, provide evidence of past bed degradation. Based on the field measurements, further degradation and widening can be expected in the lower section of the project before it will be aggrade and re-stabilize at the lowered base elevation. 3.5 Bankfull Verification The standard methodology used in natural channel design is based on the ability to select the appropriate bankfull discharge and generate the corresponding bankfull hydraulic geometry from a stable reference system(s). Thus, the determination of bankfull stage is the most critical component of the natural channel design (NCD) process. Bankfull can be defined as "the stage at which channel maintenance is most effective, that is, the discharge at which moving sediment, forming or removing bars, forming or changing bends and meanders, and generally doing work that results in the average morphologic characteristics of the channels," (Dunne and Leopold, 1978). Several characteristics that commonly indicate the bankfull stage include: incipient point of flooding, breaks in slope, changes in vegetation, highest depositional features (i.e. point bars), and highest scour line. The identification of bankfull stage especially in a degraded system can be difficult. Therefore, verification measures must be taken to ensure the correct identification of the bankfull stage. The three methods used to verify bankfull stage at Bold Run Creek were regional hydraulic geometry relationships (regional curves), a pressure transducer/data logger combination gauge that monitored actual water level in Bold Run Creek throughout the study period, and a hydrology/hydraulics model to evaluate flow and sediment transport. Regional curves are typically utilized in ungauged areas to approximate bankfull discharge, area, width, and depth as a function of drainage area based on inter-related variables from other similar streams in the same hydrophysiographic province. Regional curves and corresponding equations from "Bankfull Hydraulic Geometry Relationships for North Carolina Streams" (Harman et al., 1999) were used to approximate bankfull in the project reach. Based on the regional curves, a bankfull discharge and cross- sectional area of 130 ft3/s and 25 ft2 would be anticipated. Stream stage data (water levels) were collected from Bold Run Creek. Data was collected for four months (July through October) and water levels were correlated to an estimated discharge using a rating curve generated for the gauged section. During the gauging period, no significant storm events were recorded. The maximum discharge event was approximately 14 ft /s on October 8t'. KCI will continue to monitor the stage of Bold Run Creek in an attempt to validate the design discharge. Hydrograph data is provided in Appendix 1. Information from the regional curves and from the hydrologic monitoring was used in conjunction with the Hydrologic Engineering Center River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) software to refine the bankfull 19 Fe- Final Restoration Plan Bold Run Creek Stream/Buffer Restoration determinations. The model allows for analysis of one-dimensional (1-D) steady state flow by solving for the energy equation. The approximate discharges calculated using the Manning open channel flow equation were run through the modeled reaches. The outputs corresponded well with the field indicators and to the subsequent calculations of the existing morphological variables. A summary data output developed from the model is provided below (Table 5). Table 5. HEC-IZAS H drolo is Variables Station Profile Bed Elev. WS Elev. EG Elev. EG Sloe Velocity Area Width F.N.

These areas are largely devoid of natural habitat communities. Mature trees sporadically line the channel throughout the project reach. Also mature trees are located along the hill slope bordering Bold Run on the left bank. It is the intent of the restoration project to salvage any valuable trees that may provide immediate shade to the restored channel. On July 14, 2005, Steven Stokes and April Helms classified the existing natural communities in accordance with a "Classification of the Natural Communities of North Carolina, Third Approximation" (Schafale and Weakley, 1990). The flora, including dominant species per stratum, were identified and recorded. Two community types were identified within the project area. The first community was classified as Piedmont/Mountain Bottomland Forest. This community is located in the southeastern portion of the project, near Bold Hill Run Road. The dominant species observed in this community are as follows: Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), Green Ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), Black Walnut (Juglans nigra), Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda), and Winged Elm (Ulmus alata). The second community was classified as Piedmont/Mountain Levee Forest. This community is located along the levee of New Light Creek and the banks of Bold Run Creek. The dominant species observed along the levee of New Light Creek are as follows: American Elm (Ulmus americana), Sweet Gum (Liquidambar styracijlua), River Birch (Betula nigra), Japanese Honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), and Chinese Privet (Ligustrum sinense). The dominant species observed along the banks of Bold Run Creek are as follows: Sycamore, Southern magnolia (Magnolia grandijlora), Vietnamese Stilt Grass (Microstigium viminium), River Birch, and Black Walnut. 20 Is Final Restoration Plan Bold Run Creek Stream/Buffer Restoration 4.0 REFERENCE STREAMS A reference reach is a channel with a stable dimension, pattern, and profile within particular valley morphology. The reference reach is used to develop dimensionless morphological ratios (based on bankfull stage) that can be extrapolated to disturbed/unstable streams to restore a stream of the same type and disposition as the reference stream (Rosgen, 1998). • An upstream reach of Richland Creek located on the west side of the Town of Wake Forest was selected to serve as a reference reach for the restoration of Bold Run Creek. Richland Creek flows south from its headwaters in Franklin County towards its confluence with the Neuse River (Figure 11. Reference Site Vicinity Map). It drains approximately 4.8 square miles of low-density residential, agriculture, and • forested lands. This selection was based on: location in the same hydrophysiographic province, similar valley morphology, and similar sediment regime as the project site. Both streams are found in the northern outer Piedmont ecoregion where local topography is relatively consistent with each other. Approximately 400 linear feet of Richland Creek were surveyed in August 2004 and re-evaluated in August 2005 (Appendix H contains supporting documentation from the field assessment). This reach of Richland Creek was classified as a "C4" channel type. The dimensionless hydraulic geometry relationships were developed from stable channel dimensions to facilitate the design of the proposed channel cross-sections for the Bold Run Creek restoration reach. 4.1 Watershed Characterization Richland Creek is situated within the northeastern portion of the Piedmont physiographic province, which - is typified by rolling topography with broad ridges, sharply indented stream valleys, and narrow, low- gradient floodplains. The Richland Creek watershed (USGS 14-digit Hydrologic Unit 03020201070060) is located within sub-basin 03-04-02 of the Neuse River Basin. The headwaters of the Richland Creek form to the west and south of Youngsville, North Carolina. The watershed extends south-southwest to a point approximately 1.5 miles downstream of the Falls Reservoir Dam where Richland Creek joins the Neuse River. • The portion of Richland Creek evaluated for the reference survey is located between the Franklin/Wake County Line and Harris Road in Wake Forest, North Carolina. Capital Boulevard (US 1) roughly bounds the watershed to the west and the Seaboard Coast Railroad Line bounds it to the east (Figure 12. j Reference Site Watershed Map). The topographic relief within the project reach is approximately 25 feet, • ranging from approximately 282 feet above mean sea level (AMSL) at the upstream limits of Section 1 to 257 feet AMSL at the downstream limits at the Stadium Drive Bridge. 4.2 Channel Classification Richland Creek is classified as a "C4" stream type. The majority of the cross-section calculations contain an entrenchment ratio greater than 2.2, for a "C" or "E" with a width to depth ratio slightly greater 12. 21 • 0 • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Y P. • Wake County, North Carolina " - •? { 'J Cl) -..rte . f - r --- fir-,. - f Wake County. -- r' 4 ?--?

Final Restoration Plan Bold Run Creek Stream/Buffer Restoration . 4.3 Discharge (Bankfull, Trends) Following the field assessment, three methods were used to verify the bankfull stage at Richland Creek. • These methods included regional hydraulic geometry relationships (regional curves), a pressure • transducer / data logger combination gauge that monitored actual water level in Richland Creek throughout the study period, and a hydrology/hydraulics model (HEC-RAS) to evaluate flow and validate field calls. Regional curves and corresponding equations from "Bankfull Hydraulic Geometry Relationships for North Carolina Streams" (Harman et al., 1999) were used to approximate bankfull in the project reach. Based on the regional curves, a bankfull discharge and cross-sectional area of 270 W/s and 70 ft2 would be anticipated at the Richland Creek Reference Reach. Stream stage data (water levels) were collected downstream of the Richland Creek Reference Reach. Data was collected for five months and water levels were correlated to an estimated discharge using a rating curve generated for the gauged section. Three significant flow events occurred during the monitoring period. Richland Creek in the vicinity of the gauge discharged 309, 185, and 155 ft3/s for each of these events, respectively. This corresponded to a maximum discharge of approximately 210 - 220 ft /s in the reference reach. The hydrology/hydraulics model provided a water surface profile and cross-sectional depiction based on . the sections surveyed during the reference reach assessment. This method provided a further means to validate the discharge approximated in the reference reach section, as well as verify the field-call bankfull stage. - 4.4 Channel Morphology (Pattern, Dimension, Profile) - A Rosgen Level III assessment was conducted to gather existing stream dimension, pattern, and profile • data and determine the potential for restoration. Channel cross-sections and bed materials were surveyed at five representative locations along Richland Creek. Data developed from these surveys are provided in Appendix H. 4.5 Vegetation A field survey was conducted to identify and document the dominant plant communities in the project area. Several distinct community mosaics were recognized, and complete species lists with dominance were compiled. These lists were utilized to best fit the communities described in the Classification of Natural Communities of North Carolina (Schafale & Weakley, 1990). The natural community in the reference area was the Piedmont Levee Forest. Piedmont Levee Forests are prevalent along the active levee position of Richland Creek. Woody species of the canopy include Fraxinus pennsylvanica (green ash), Platanus occidentalis (sycamore), Betula nigra (river birch), Liquidambar styraciflua (sweet gum), Acer negundo (boxelder), and Juglans nigra (black walnut). Species in the overstory dominate those in the understory. 24 Final Restoration Plan Bold Run Creek Stream/Buffer Restoration 5.0 PROJECT SITE RESTORATION PLAN 5.1 Restoration Project Goals and Objectives Based on the existing and reference condition descriptions, the restoration goals and objectives for the Bold Run Creek Stream/Buffer Restoration project are as follows: i Restoration Goals: ¦ Restore a stable channel morphology that is capable of moving the flows and sediment provided by its watershed; ¦ Improve water quality and reduce land and riparian vegetation loss resulting from lateral erosion and - bed degradation through the establishment of bank and riparian vegetation and, ¦ Enhance aquatic and terrestrial habitat through the improvements to the stream water quality (improved oxygen content, reduced sediment and nutrients, variable stream bed features). - ¦ Improve water quality through approximately 27.1 acres of buffer restoration throughout the project site. Restoration Objectives: - ¦ Project success will be assessed utilizing measurements of stream dimension, pattern, and profile, site photographs, and vegetation sampling. These measurements should show little or no change from the as-built conditions. - ¦ A stable channel is able to move the sediment supplied by its watershed without the channel aggrading or degrading. Through stream monitoring the stability of the restored stream will be evaluated. - ¦ Riparian vegetation must meet a minimum survival success rate of 320 stems/acre after five years. 5.1.1 Designed Channel Classification - The restoration design of Bold Run Creek will be restored to a Rosgen stream type "C4" and is based on Priority Level II and IV approaches, as described in "A Geomorphological Approach to Restoration of Incised Rivers", (Rosgen, 1997.) For clarity and convenience, definitions of the four restoration priorities • are provided in Table 6. The design proposes constructing 1,629 linear feet of meandering channel using a Priority Level II and IV • approach. Approximately 1,453.7 linear feet of Level II and 175.6 linear feet of Level IV will be - restored. The Level II restoration will establish a bankfull channel with a new floodplain, a channel bed at its existing level in an existing gravel layer, and the cross section dimensions necessary to provide stable flow maintenance and sediment transport. The Level IV design proposes to stabilize the bed and banks while maintaining the existing channel pattern (planform) (Figure 13. Proposed Planform). The design bankfull stage will equal the floodplain elevation in the new channel (bank height ratio = 1.0). The establishment of a stable bedform (i.e., riffle-pool sequence, pool spacing) will be addressed in the - profiling of the design channel. The proposed stream dimension, pattern, and profile will be based on the detailed morphological criteria and hydraulic geometry relationships developed from the reference streams, see Table 7. Refer to the attached plan sheet drawings. i In-stream structures will be incorporated to reduce the burden of energy dissipation on the channel geometry. Cross Vanes and Rock Sill Grade Controls (Refer to Plan Sheet 2) will be used to stabilize the restored channel. These structures are designed to reduce bank erosion and the influence of secondary - circulation in the near-bank region of stream bends. The structures further promote efficient sediment • transport and produce/enhance in-stream habitat. Coir fiber matting will be used to provide temporary stabilization on the newly graded streambanks. The confluence of tributaries with the restored stream will 25 Final Restoration Plan Bold Run Creek Stream/Buffer Restoration be stabilized with grade control structures where necessary to match the proposed grade of the restored main channel (Refer to Plan Sheet 4 where UT1 joins Bold Run). The restoration project will also include other non-stream related components: • Cattle exclusion fencing will be installed along the outer boundary of the restored riparian buffers and a permanent conservation easement will be recorded to protect the site in perpetuity. • Two stabilized riffle grade control crossings will be installed to provide access to the utility power lines located on the project site. 26 ?•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••®•?••••i Final Restoration Plan Bold Run Creek Stream/Buffer Restoration Table 6.

These areas will receive species consistent with a Piedmont Levee Forest and Piedmont Bottomland Forest community. The typical Piedmont Levee Forest is seasonally to intermittently flooded. The vegetation may consist of mature climax forest, or may be in various stages of primary or secondary succession (Schafale and Weakley 1990). The typical Piedmont Bottomland Hardwood community is flooded at least occasionally. Bottomland Forests are believed to form a stable climax forest with uneven-aged canopy with primarily gap phase regeneration (Schafale and Weakley 1990). 5.2.1 Target Buffer Communities The Neuse River Buffer Rule (15A NCAC 2B .0233) applies to 50-foot (15.24 m) wide buffers directly adjacent to surface waters in the Neuse River Basin (intermittent streams, perennial streams, lakes, ponds, and estuaries), excluding wetlands. The Neuse River Buffer Rules (NBR) is administered by the NCDWQ. The purpose of this rule is to protect and preserve existing riparian buffers in the Neuse River Basin and to maintain their nutrient removal functions. This rule is applicable to all streams identified on either the most recent local county soil survey or the most recent USGS topographic map. If stream features are not present on either map, the area is not subject to the rule, even if a stream is present. The Neuse Riparian Buffer Rules were enacted to protect and preserve existing riparian buffers to maintain their function for protection of water quality (NCDWQ, 2002). Currently, there are small drainage features located throughout the project site, which deliver direct runoff to Bold Run Creek. To maintain the water quality of Bold Run Creek, an approximate 200' buffer will extend on either side of the features (Figure 14. Proposed Planting Plan). 5.2.2 Planting Zones Two planting zones will be incorporated into the planting plan. Zone A is classified as a Levee Area; which runs along the levee of New Light Creek. Zone B is classified as a Bottomland Hardwood Area; which will border the streamside planting area along Bold Run Creek and run along the Levee area and the remaining portion of the site. Included in Zone A and B is a 20' streamside planting area bordering New Light Creek and Bold Run Creek, will also be planted with riparian vegetation. There is a small portion, approximately 1.30 acres, in the middle of Zone B that was classified during the field investigation with wetter soils (Chewacla) (Refer to Figure 5). This particular area will be planted with tolerable, higher moisture Bottomland Hardwood species. The planting plan in Figure 14 illustrates the two zones that will be used to target restoration vegetation. 5.2.3 Plant Sources Field assessment observations, Guidelines for Riparian Buffer Restoration (NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources Ecosystems Enhancement Program 2004), and community descriptions from Classification of the Natural Communities of North Carolina (Schafale and Weakley 1990) were all used to develop the species to be planted on the site. 5.2.4 Plant Care and Installation All hardwood species on site will be planted using bare root plants. Four hundred thirty-six (436) trees per acre (based on an average 10' x 10' spacing) will be planted in rows to achieve a mature survivability of three hundred twenty (320) trees per acre in the riparian zone (NCDENR, 2001). 30 �� k f, _ 'k �AS 4764 •A #+y k to 9 x• r •3 - a Al • Final Restoration Plan Bold Run Creek Stream/Buffer Restoration 5.2.5 Plant List The Bold Run Creek floodplain/levee in the project reach is predominantly forested with hardwood species (Refer to Section 3.5). Plantings shall consist of native species, which are available during the time of planting. The Bottomland Hardwood area will be vegetated with native woody and herbaceous plant materials. In general, the two planting zones will consist of the following species groupings: Zone A: Levee Area Black Walnut Juglans nigra FACU Willow Oak Quercus phellos FACW- Overcup Oak Quercus lyrata FACW Slippery Elm Ulmus rubra FAC Streamside River Birch Betula nigra FACW Boxelder Acer negundo FACW American Sycamore Platanus occidentalis FACW- Zone B: Bottomland Hardwood Area Tulip Poplar Liriodendron tulipifera FACW- Cherrybark Oak Quercus pagoda FAC+ Willow Oak Quercusphellos FACW- Swamp Chestnut Oak Quercus michauxii FACW- Hiah Moisture Area Green Ash Fraxinus pennsylvanica FACW American Elm Ulmus Americana FACW Silky Dogwood Cornus amomum FACW Herbaceous vegetation shall consist of a native grass mix that may include: Bluestem Andropogon glomeratus Deertongue Panicum clandestinum Orchardgrass Dactylis glomerata Switchgrass Panicum virgatum Virginia wildrye Elymus virginicus Rye grain (Secale cereale) and/or brown top millet (Pennisetum glaucum) will be used for temporary stabilization. In addition to the native seed mix and stabilization seeding, live stakes shall be installed to assist in stabilizing the stream banks. The following species may be used for live staking: Black Willow Elderberry Silky Willow Silky Dogwood Salix nigra Sambucus canadensis Salix sericea Cornus amomum 32 F-6 Final Restoration Plan Bold Run Creek Stream/Buffer Restoration 5.2.6 Schedule Woody vegetation planting will take place during the dormant season. 5.2.7 Site Preparation and Stabilization The stream restoration project will generally utilize the same belt width as the existing channel, however some areas will require clearing to achieve the appropriate pattern outlined in the design criteria. The cleared areas will be re-vegetated with native woody and herbaceous plant materials. Following the re- vegetation, riparian buffers associated with the Bold Run Creek restoration will extend between fifty (50) to two hundred (200) feet on both sides of the stream. The trees targeted for removal will be treated with herbicide in late summer when the trees have leafed out entirely or in the winter once the sap has stopped flowing. A glyphosate herbicide will be applied at this time. The trees will be left either downed or standing to provide habitat for terrestrial species. 5.2.8 Maintenance A pre-emergent herbicide will be sprayed in mid-March following the planting of the bare root seedlings to control the herbaceous vegetation. This allows time for rainfall to settle the soil around the roots of the seedlings, newly planted during the dormant season, but before the buds begin to swell in the spring. Reducing competition from herbaceous vegetation is an important step to ensure maximum survivability of the planted seedlings. Correspondingly, nurturing the site with regular management activities is considered necessary to ensure that the goals and objectives of the project are met. These activities will be conducted throughout the year. If the monitoring identifies failures in the project site, a remedial action plan will be developed to investigate the causes of the failure and propose actions to rectify the problem. 5.2.9 On-site Invasive Species Management Part of the regular management activities will include invasive species control for the project site. Invasive species control will primarily focus on removing the existing invasive species, Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) and Vietnamese Stilt Grass (Microstigium viminium). It is recommended that a glyphosate herbicide with a 2 to 3-percent solution be used as a foliar spray (Miller, 2004). The herbicidal treatment will be conducted during late summer, early fall. Herbicidal treatments will be conducted yearly if needed. 5.3 Sediment Transport Analysis A stable channel is able to move the sediment supplied by its watershed without aggrading or degrading. This ability is evaluated through two parameters: competency and capacity. Competency is the channel's ability to move particles of a certain size, expressed as units of Pascals (Pa) or lbs/fl . Capacity is the channel's ability to move a specific volume of sediment (sediment discharge). Sediment discharge is the amount of sediment moving through a cross section over a specified period of time, expressed in dimensionless parameters or as mass or weight units of kg/sec or lbs/sec. The flow associated with the threshold movement of the streambed is the reference condition that all sediment transport models are based upon. In natural streambeds there are particles of a wide range of sizes. At low, but significant flow levels, the smallest particles will move, while the larger particles resist 33 70- Final Restoration Plan Bold Run Creek Stream/Buffer Restoration the flow of the stream. This is the condition of partial sediment transport. As the stream flow increases, eventually every particle on the streambed will show threshold movement, this is the condition of full sediment transport. There is a wide range of sand-gravel streams that have the flow conditions necessary to significantly move particles greater than the D50, but do not reach the full sediment transport condition. This condition is present in Bold Run Creek, and the model used for the sediment transport analysis was Wilcock-Crowe (2003). The Wilcock-Crowe model is a "sediment capacity" model; however, it also contains an entrainment predictor. Entrainment is the condition that initiates the movement of a selected particle size in the presence of a mix grade channel bed. If the largest particle that moves during a bankfull event can be identified, then the flow conditions that produced this movement can be determined and this flow condition (the channel competency) is used in the design of the restored stream channel. In basic terms, given the bed surface grain-size distribution and the bed shear velocity, the Wilcock- Crowe Surface-Based Transport Model (SBTM) calculates the bedload transport rate and the bedload grain-size distribution. Using a hydraulics model, one can predict the shear velocity and discharge characteristics that will provide the necessary sediment transport capacity. By making the sediment transport and discharge dimensionless, this analysis can be scaled to another stream channel, separate from the reference reach, that has a similar sediment distribution. In this case, it was applied to the Bold Run Creek design section. In the Richland Creek Reference Reach, the approximate bankfull depth was 3.7 feet (1.1 m). The shear velocity (u*) associated with this discharge based on the hydraulics model was 0.17 meters per second (m/s). This shear velocity corresponded to a dimensionless sediment transport rate (qT*) of 2.5E-05. A qT* value of 2.5E-05 intersects with a dimensionless water discharge (qW*) of approximately 750 for the Bold Run Creek design slope (0.007) on the Bold Run River State Diagram (Figure 15). The proposed design channel will discharge approximately 92 W/s over the area subject to bedload transport with a u* = 0.14 m/s. The water discharge (qw) for this event based on the Manning-Strickler Resistance Equation is 1.25, which correlates to a qW* value of 595 (0 = 20.7%). This is based on a db5o (median diameter of the bedload) value of approximately 6.5 millimeters. qW* = qv / (((s-1)g)1n (db5o)3i2 = 1.252 / (((2.65 - 1) 9.81)1/2 (6.45E-03)3/2 = 595 Where: s is the specific gravity of sediment, g is the gravitational constant, and all other variables are as defined above.

Specifically, project success will be assessed utilizing measurements of stream dimension, pattern, and profile, site photographs, and vegetation sampling. 6.1 Streams The purpose of monitoring is to evaluate the stability of the restored stream. Following the procedures established in the USDA Forest Service Manual, Stream Channel Reference Sites (Harrelson, et.al, 1994) and the methodologies utilized in the Rosgen stream assessment and classification system (Rosgen, 1994 and 1996), data collected will consist of detailed dimension and pattern measurements, a longitudinal profile, and bed materials sampling. Dimension - Five permanent cross-sections, three riffle and two pools, will be established and used to evaluate stream dimension. Permanent monuments will be established by either conventional survey or GPS. The cross-section surveys shall provide a detailed measurement of the stream and banks, to include points on the adjacent floodplain, at the top of bank, bankfull, at all breaks in slope, the edge of water, and thalweg. Subsequently, width/depth ratios and entrenchment ratios will be calculated for each cross- section. Cross-section measurements should show little or no change from the as-built cross-sections. If changes do occur, they will be evaluated to determine whether they are minor adjustments associated with settling and increased stability or whether they indicate movement toward an unstable condition. Pattern - Measurements associated with the restored channel pattern will include belt width, meander length, and radius of curvature. Subsequently, sinuosity, meander width ratio and radius of curvature and meander length/bankfull width ratios will be calculated. Profile - A longitudinal profile of the entire restored channel will be surveyed. Measurements will include slopes (average, pool, riffle), as well as calculations of pool-to-pool spacing. Annual measurements should indicate stable bedform features with little change from the as-built survey. The pools should maintain their depth with lower water surface slopes, while the riffles should remain shallower and steeper. Bed Materials - Pebble counts will be conducted at each representative cross-section for the purpose of repeated classification and to evaluate sediment transport. Photograph Reference Points Photograph reference points (PRP) will be established to assist in characterizing the site and to allow qualitative evaluation of the site conditions. The location and bearing/orientation of each photo point will be permanently marked in the field and documented to allow for repeated use. Cross-section Photograph Reference Points Each cross-section will be photographed to show the form of the channel with the tape measure stretched over the channel for reference in each photograph. Effort will be made to consistently show the same area in each photograph. 36 Is Final Restoration Plan Bold Run Creek Stream/Buffer Restoration Longitudinal Photograph Reference Points Additional PRPs will be located, as needed, to document the condition of specific in-stream structures such as cross vanes, as well as infrastructure associated with the stream such as utility and road crossings. 6.2 Vegetation The success of the riparian buffer plantings will be evaluated using 55 (5% of total buffer area) ten by ten meter (10m x 10m) vegetative sampling plots. The corners of each monitoring plot will be permanently marked in the field. The monitoring will consist of a physical inventory within each plot and a subsequent statistical analysis in order to determine the following: composition and number of surviving species, and total number of stems per acre. Additionally, a photograph will be taken of each plot that will be replicated each monitoring year. Riparian vegetation must meet a minimum survival success rate of 320 stems/acre after five years. If monitoring indicates that the specified survival rate is not being met, appropriate corrective actions will be developed, to include invasive species control, the removal of dead/dying plants and replanting. 6.3 Schedule/Reporting The first scheduled monitoring will be conducted during the first full growing season following project completion. Monitoring shall subsequently be conducted annually for a total period of five (5) years. Annual monitoring reports will be prepared and submitted after all monitoring tasks for each year are completed. Each report will provide the new monitoring data and compare the new data against previous findings. The monitoring report will follow the format described in the EEP document entitled "Content, Format, and Data Requirements for EEP Monitoring Reports." 37 I Final Restoration Plan Bold Run Creek Stream/Buffer Restoration 7.0 REFERENCES Doll, B.A., D.E.

Ncatuial iic;i-itagc 1-'GVie VV Bold Run Creek Stream and Wetland Restoration Project Project ID# 12053743B Dear Ms. Pearsall: Please accept this information pertaining to the proposed Bold Run Stream and Wetland Restoration - Project, which is located approximately 5 miles northwest of the Town of Wake Forest on Bold Hill Run - Road approximately 1.5 miles east of the intersection with Mangum Dairy Road in Wake County, as a submittal for natural area and rare species review by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program. A portion of this property (refer to attached layout) is currently under investigation as a stream and wetland restoration projecl for the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). The stream work typically involves modifying stream channels to a natural stable form through minor grading, use of in-stream rock features, and establishment of vegetated riparian buffers. No impacts to any structures on the subject property are anticipated. Following the review of the included documentation, please provide a determination regarding any potential impacts to rare species or natural areas associated with this project. Please feel free to contact me at (919) 783-9214, cxt. 133, should you have any questions or require any further information to process this request. Thank you for your assistance and attention.

The_U.S. Army Corps of Engineers's Falls Lake lands lie roughly 0.7 air-mile downstream of the project site. Thus, it is important that proper sedimentation controls be in place to avoid any downstream impacts to these federal lands and their waters (Falls Lake). You may wish to check the Natural HeritagIe Program database website at <«vw- v.ncsl?ark5 netlnhIlsearch html> for a listing of rare plants and animals and significant natural communities in the cotuity and on the topographic quad map.

A portion of this property (refer to attached layout) is currently under investigation as a stream and wetland restoration project for the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). The funding for this project comes from the USDOT Federal Highway Administration through NCDOT. The current land use in the project area includes predominantly Agricultural Pasture Fields. The restoration would improve water quality and provide greater protection for aquatic ecosystems from surrounding agricultural lands. This type of work typically involves enhancing streams to create more natural and stable channels through minor grading, use of in-stream rock features. and reforestation of riparian buffers. A soil classification was performed on the site recently. The following soils were found on the project site; Chewacla- 1.3 acres. Chewacla variant- 16.3 acres, Chewacla Riverview- 7.6 acres. Following the review of the included documentation, please provide a determination regarding any potential impacts from farmland conversion associated with this project. Please feel free to contact me at (919) 783-9214, ext. 133, should you have any questions or require any further information to process this request.

Project Number 120537438 Dear Ms Helms: . Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission have reviewed the subject document. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-6674), and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.). The North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program is currently investigating a stream and wetland restoration site along New Light Creek, a headwater tributary to Falls-ofths-Neese Reservoir in the Neuse River basin. There are records for the federal species of concern and state significantly rare pinewoods shiner (Lythrurus matutinus) and state significantly rare Carolina ladle crayfish (Cambarus david:') in New Light Creek. Current land use is agricultural pasture. The project would involve minor grading to form natural, stable stream channels, use of instream rock features and reforestation of the riparian buffers. The proposed restoration project should improve water quality and aquatic habitat. Additionally, establishing a forested riparian buffer should improve terrestrial habitat and provide a travel corridor for wildlife species. We do not anticipate significant adverse impacts to fish and wildlife resources from the proposed project. Thank you for the opportunity to review this project.

Also, the proposed pond should be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application. Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): N/A Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond, local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A Size of watershed draining to pond: N//A Expected pond surface area: N/A VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. The nroiect is involved with enhancing and restoring streams and buffers in the Bold Run Creek site in Wake County to serve EEP's program obiective and mitigation needs. The project is a mitigation effort and does not impact adjacent streams and wetlands. See Bold Run Creek stream and buffer restoration elan for specific information regarding the restoration design. Page 9 of 13 VIII. Mitigation DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial streams. USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include, but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar functions and values, preferable in the same watershed. If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html. 1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet) of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view, preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach a separate sheet if more space is needed. The restoration plan is attached. The plan indicates the conservation easement acquired by the state, plan views, cross section view and proposed method of enhancement and restoration. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm.
