• EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
i The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) initiated the McCain Property Stream
. Restoration Feasibility Study in April 2003 to evaluate the feasibility of restoring a degraded section
of an unnamed tributary to Back Creek (UTBC). The purpose of this mitigation project would be to
compensate for unavoidable stream and buffer impacts in the Upper Yadkin River Basin resulting
. from planned NCDOT Transportation Improvement Projects. With the creation of the North Carolina
Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP), this project was shifted to this new agency for completion.
. The project site is part of a 71.54-acre parcel owned by Ms. Sigrid N. McCain that is located
approximately one mile southeast of the intersection of Lake Lucas Road (SR 1518) and Spero Road
(SR 1504) in Sophia, Randolph County, North Carolina. The property is an active livestock farm,
. with a portion of the property dedicated to pasture and livestock grazing. The primary land uses on
the property include rangeland, agriculture (small grain), and hardwood forest. UTBC is a second-
order, perennial stream that drains in a southerly direction across the subject property before joining
Back Creek. The 2,475-foot project reach is located within USGS Hydrologic Unit 03040103050050
(Lower Yadkin watershed), in a non-targeted portion of the NC Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ)
Sub-basin 03-07-09.
- A significant portion of UTBC within the project site has been degraded due to poor grazing
management and the removal of riparian vegetation. The stream channel in several locations was
- historically relocated hard against the valley walls to open of the valley bottom for farming.
Coordination with the landowner was conducted to identify current and planned land use
• requirements associated with the project site. A Rosgen Level III assessment and qualitative stream
- stability evaluations were conducted to characterize existing stream conditions and determine the
potential for restoration. Further, the presence of conditions or characteristics that have the potential
- to constrain restoration activities on the project site was evaluated.
a A reference reach study of Richland Creek in a nearby watershed and an upstream reach of UTBC
were conducted. A rain gage, stream gages and scour chains were installed on the UTBC in the
- project site to evaluate flows and sediment transport. From sediment transport modeling, a design
shear stress was established for the anticipated gradation of the relocated streambed. Based on the
reference reach surveys and sound geomorphic principles, the proposed mitigation stream alignment,
- profile and typical cross sections were developed.
The proposed stream restoration plan is to build a 2,445-foot long meandering stream that falls within
- the Rosgen stream types Bc4 and C4. Two stream types are necessary because the valley slope
changes through the project site. The proposed stream will be relocated off of the existing valley
walls into the bottom of the valley. This relocation stream channel was adjusted in profile such that
• the channel bed will be located in an alluvial gravel layer that has been observed in the valley. The
• stream channel cross sections were designed to be hydraulically stable with a gravel stream bed. A
minimum width 50-foot buffer will be provided on both sides of the proposed channel. This buffer
- will have 3660-feet of exclusion fence, three stable stream crossings, and a re-vegetation plan. This
re-vegetation of the 8.4-acre conservation easement will consist of shrubs on the stream channel
banks and woody plantings on the floodplain within the exclusion fencing.

- 1.0 INTRODUCTION
• The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) initiated the McCain Property Stream
- Restoration Feasibility Study in April 2003 to evaluate the feasibility of restoring a degraded section of an
unnamed tributary to Back Creek (UTBC). The purpose of this mitigation project would be to compensate for
unavoidable stream and buffer impacts in the Yadkin River Basin resulting from planned NCDOT
- Transportation Improvement Projects. With the creation of the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (EEP) this project was shifted to this new agency for completion.
- 1.1 Project Description
The EEP intends on utilizing the McCain Site in Randolph County for a comprehensive restoration of the
- stream and its woody corridor across an active cattle-rearing pasture. 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.
a 1.2 Project Goals and Objectives
•
The goals and objectives of the McCain Site Mitigation Project are to:
¦
Restore stable channel morphology that is capable of moving the flows and sediment provided by its
. watershed;
. ¦ Reduce sediment-related water quality impacts resulting from lateral bank erosion and bed degradation on
the downstream Back Creek and reservoir;
- ¦ Improve aquatic habitat diversity through the enhancement of riffle-pool bed variability and the use of in-
stream structures;
¦ Restore vegetative riparian buffers and vegetated channel banks utilizing native plant species; and,
¦ Provide a fenced corridor with stabilized access for cattle watering.
2.0 PROJECT SITE LOCATION
- 2.1 General Description
The project site is a 2,475-foot section of perennial stream that is situated on part of a 71.54-acre parcel
. owned by Ms. Sigrid N. McCain that is located approximately one mile southeast of the intersection of Lake
Lucas Road (SR 1518) and Spero Road (SR 1504) in Sophia, Randolph County, North Carolina (Figure 1.
Vicinity Map). UTBC is a second-order, perennial stream that drains in a southerly direction across the
. subject property before joining Back Creek.
The property is an active livestock farm, with a portion of the property dedicated to pasture and livestock
i grazing. The primary land uses on the property include rangeland, agriculture (small grain), and hardwood
forest. There is a large pole barn for storing livestock feed and agricultural machinery. A private residence
. and two small storage sheds are located in the southwestern portion of the subject property. UTBC and its
. associated riparian area run along the eastern property boundary.
2.2 USGS and NCDWQ River Basin Designations
. The project reach is located within USGS Hydrologic Unit 03040103050050 (Yadkin River Basin), in a non-
targeted portion of the NC Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) Sub-basin 03-07-09.

2.3 NCDWQ Surface Water Classification
- The NCDWQ assigns surface waters a classification in order to help protect, maintain, and preserve water
quality. The unnamed tributary to Back Creek has not been rated by the NCDWQ. However, Back Creek
(NCDWQ Stream Index Number 13-2-3-3-(0.3)) from its source to a point one mile downstream of Randolph
. County SR 1504 is designated a "WS-II HQW" usage classification (NCDENR, 2002). WS-II indicates
waters protected as water supplies, which are usually in predominantly undeveloped watersheds and only
general permits for discharges are allowed. WS-II waters are also protected for Class C uses, which include
- fishing, wildlife, fish and aquatic life propagation and survival, agriculture, and secondary recreation that
involve human body contact with the water. The "HQW" is a supplemental classification intended to protect
water bodies with water quality higher than state standards. WS-1I waters are HQW by definition.
3.0 WATERSHED CHARACTERIZATION
. 3.1 General Description
The project site is located in a rural setting within the Carolina Slate Belt ecoregion of the Piedmont
physiographic province. Site topography is characterized as rolling to hilly with elevations ranging from 670
feet above mean sea level (AMSL) near the McCain residence to 530 feet AMSL at the downstream project
limits on UTBC. The elevation change along UTBC falls from approximately 550 feet at the upper part of the
. site to approximately 530 feet at the lower end of the project, a longitudinal valley distance of 1,988 feet
. (1.0% mean slope).
3.2 Drainage Area
The drainage area contributing to the most downstream extent of the project reach is 0.88 square miles
(Figure 2. Project Drainage). The soils types of the watershed are presented in Figure 3 (Soils).
3.3 Land Use and Development Potential
. An Anderson Level I classification indicates that the contributing drainage area consists of. forest (67%),
agriculture (16%), rangeland (12%), and urban (4%) land use / land cover (Figure 4. Land Use /Land Cover).
Due to the rural nature of the area, the potential exists for future development. However, development
. pressures are currently considered low, and there are currently no obvious signs of development.
3.4 Historical Resources
Historic aerial photographs were obtained from the Randolph 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 1937,
1957, and 1966.
•
In 1937, the subject property looked very similar to current conditions; no significant differences are
discernable at the scale and quality of the photo. The stream valley was cleared at that time, and presumably
used for agriculture or pasture. The stream channel appeared to follow the p%i.:?;rn observable today. No
changes in either the stream valley or stream channel within the project area were observed in the 1957 or
1966 aerial photographs. Therefore, any alterations to the stream channel occurred before 1937, and there
have been no significant changes to the project area since then.

3.5 Cultural and Archaeological 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). No historic preservation sites nor sites of
archeological importance were noted on the McCain Property (See Appendix A).
3.6 Effect on Natural Resources
Rare, Threatened, or Endangered Species (RTE)
KCI conducted an informal file review at the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program's (NHP) office in
order to identify the potential for the presence of rare, threatened, or endangered species within a one-mile
radius of the project site. This review did not reveal the presence of any known rare, threatened, or
endangered species. Appendix B includes the NHP list of Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Species and
Critical Habitats in Randolph County and the state and federal status for each species.
Additionally, KCI requested a formal review by the NHP 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 a letter dated May 21, 2003, the NHP indicated that there are no records of such
resources either at the site or within one mile of the project area.
Wetlands
A review of the Randleman, North Carolina National Wetland Inventory (NWI) Map identified no wetlands
within the project study area. Further, no wetlands were identified in the project study area during the field
investigation (April 2003).

- 4.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS ASSESSMENT
A site field assessment was conducted in April 2003 to document existing conditions and evaluate the
- potential for stream and riparian buffer restoration. Observations and collected data are described below,
illustrated in Figure 5 Existing Conditions and documented in the site photographs (Appendix Q. The site
was revisited from April to December 2004 several times to take further measurements, to install a rain gage
- and stream gages, to sample the stream bed, to survey the immediate upstream reach to compare with a
reference reach, and several times to download data and take more sediment samples.
4.1 General Site Description
As the project location can be seen on the Figure 5; the valley has four natural bends, in which the stream
• channel flows near the low spot in the valley. It appears that in the two western bends of the valley that the
stream may have been relocated hard against the valley wall to allow the valley bottom to be actively farmed,
then pastured. Such an active relocation was undisputedly found on the upstream adjacent property.
. In the two western valley bends, the channel is incised, with this incision extending through the Dogue loamy
soil and into soils and sediment deposits, which are over 300 years old and predate the Dogue's depositional
event. The upstream western bend in the valley appears to have eroded through a channery deposit and
eroded down to bedrock in places. The downstream western bend in the valley is adjacent to some severe
gully erosion caused by cattle taking short cuts to the stream channel. The two eastern bends of the valley are
in better condition partly due to fences on the east bank preventing the cattle from climbing the far banks. In
the upstream eastern valley bend, the stream does not strike the valley wall but, is never the less, heavily
impacted by cattle movement because its low banks allow easy access. The lower eastern valley bend has the
only true meandering stretch of stream channel that has exposed some bedrock. This meandering has caused
. some outer bends to consist of severely eroded valley wall cuts.
The unlimited access to the stream channel by rearing cattle (weaned calves to heifers and young bulls) has
resulted in stream banks that have little vegetation and a channel bottom that has been thoroughly mixed and
in some places compacted. The three tributaries on the project site also have some erosion problems, partly
due to the down cutting of the main valley channel over the last century. The project ends where this
meandering valley confluences with the much larger floodplain in the Back Creek valley. The project site is
the only place on this un-named tributary to Back Creek where the creek is not bordered by forest. A mile
downstream on Back Creek is a small water supply reservoir.
• 4.2 Geology and Soils
Local geology consists of metamorphic rocks of the Charlotte and Milton Belts overlying metamorphic rocks
. within the Carolina Slate Belt. These include metamorphosed volcanic rock, metamudstone, meta-sandstone,
and metaconglomerates. These metamorphic rocks date from the Cambrian Period to the Late Proterozoic
Era (500 to 900 million years ago). Predominant soil types located within the project site include Dogue
. sandy loam and Goldston very channery silt clay loam in the stream valley, and Badin-Tatum complex in the
upland pasture. The predominant soil types within the project watershed include Badin-Tatum complex and
Georgeville silty clay loam.
Dogue sandy loam (DoB) is nearly level, very deep, somewhat poorly drained soil found on floodplains,
formed in alluvia; deposits. Dogue soils are subject to frequent flooding, and have inclusions of hydric soils
. or wet spots. Badin-Tatum complex (B,JB2, BfC2, BtB2, BtC2, and BaD) soils consist of strongly sloping
Badin soils and Tatum soils on uplands. These soils formed in residuum from Carolina slates and other fine-
grained rocks, and are moderately deep to deep and well-drained. Georgeville silty clay loam (GeB2) soils are

gently sloping, very deep, well-drained, eroded soils found on uplands. Goldston very channery silt clay loam
(GoE) is moderately steep to steep, shallow, well-drained to excessively drained soils found on uplands.
These soils formed in residuum from Carolina slates.
4.3 Existing Riparian Buffer and Natural Communities
The existing riparian buffer is a rural cattle rearing pasture, which is largely devoid of natural habitat
communities within the fence line. At one location on the project, the east side of the floodplain is fenced
and a herbaceous community exists with a mix of wetland and upland species. Trees along the stream are
limited to top of bank, interspersed with open areas, with only a few good connections to the woods on the
valley slopes. The valley on the upstream adjacent property is entirely forested with good understory and
ground level strata.
4.4 Existing Stream Characteristics
4.4.1 Morphological Description
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 four
representative locations along UTBC. Data developed from these surveys are summarized below (Table 1)
with detailed data provided in Appendix D.

4.4.2 Channel Evolution Stage
Conceptual channel evolution models are used to describe the sequential changes a stream undergoes after
disturbance and predict its most probable stable endpoint (stream type). The Simon Channel Evolution Model
(Simon, 1989), commonly used in sand or strongly alluvial systems, cannot be used at the McCain site for
two reasons. The un-named tributary to Back Creek is relatively steep and functions primarily as a sediment
transport reach with some bedrock control. The floodplain soil, Dogue, is a loam soil that primarily becomes
wash load when eroded. These two situations prevent the Simon's Stage IV/V f:;)rn developing. The Simon
model is based on the degradation to aggregation stream evolution sequence. However, on the lower UTBC,
the backwater conditions from Back Creek have created a transitional reach into the Back Creek floodplain
that from all indications appears to be Stage IVN, however the depositional processes are completely
different from that in the Simon Channel Evolution Model.

.
The stream on the McCain site follows an aggregation to degradation stream evolution model (Schlindwein,
2004). In the late 1700s or early 1800s, the watershed was largely clear of the climax forest and the land
. utilized for row crops for decades. The steep slopes of the watershed lost their topsoil due to rainfall and
erosion quickly. This eroded topsoil ended up being deposited on the original floodplain. The original
floodplain may have been gravely and poorly suited to agriculture. The marginal fields of the watershed were
- abandoned and allowed to reforest. The deposition of eroded topsoil on the floodplain slowed down to the
point that the newly deposited Dogue soil became attractive bottomland for agriculture. With every spring
flood, a new layer of soil deposited on this floodplain (called "made land") that did not need to be fertilized
i each year to be productive. However, as the thick topsoil was lost from most of the watershed and forest re-
established on steep slopes, the sediment delivery to the stream system reduced significantly sometime after
the Civil War. This was the end of the aggregation phase of the stream evolution for most watersheds in the
. Piedmont.
With less sediment from these watersheds, the stream flow became "hungry water" and it gullied through the
. Dogue soil deposits. In any cases this gulling was in direct conflict with the farmer's efforts to crop these
. bottomlands, the streams were relocated hard against valley walls so that the fertile bottomlands could be
utilized. However with the end of "made land", these Dogue soils with low levels of organics and clay
. quickly became unproductive. In many cases these bottomlands were abandoned to reforest or converted to
pasturing. The steam types during this evolutionary phase went from being gullies to a wider eroded stream
type and possibly stabilized as a meandering stream type.
Gc ? F C
Figure 6. Aggradation -Degradation Stream Evolution Sequence (D. Rosgen)
The sequence of stream types using the Rosgen (1996) classification system is E-C-D-G-F-C, shown in
Figure 6. The E-C-D is the aggregation sequence and the G-F-C is the degradation sequence. The E channel
. ! type is a low sediment load meandering stream. The C channel type is a meandering riffle and pool sequence
with a good sediment load. The D channel type is a shallow braided channel that is choked with sediment.
The F channel type is a broad incised channel with long runs and short pools that can be stable in the humid
. east with woody vegetation on its banks. The C channel type may not develop on bedrock or higher gradient
reaches, in this case a Be channel type that has balanced runs and pools and is not incised can develop.
On the McCain site, the existing stream channel waivers in between the F, C and Be stream types. All of
. these stream types can be stable if their banks were allowed to re-vegetate with woody growth. A simple
fencing of the stream channel with reforestation would produce a significant improvement in the condition of
. this stream channel. However, because long sections of this channel have been thrown up against the valley
. walls, full stabilization would remain elusive. As a consequence, the preferred stable condition of this stream
would be a mix of C and Be stream channel types, relocated away from the valley walls.
i 4.4.3 Stability Assessment
From an overall site perspective, a number of factors have contributed to the 3egra,?-::tic-ri of the project reach.
. Certain sources of disturbance have occurred historically while others are more recent and ongoing. Historic
aerial photography dating to 1937 shows that both the site and the watershed have undergone relatively minor
changes in land use over the last 68 years. Therefore, instability created by logging within the watershed or
. the initial clearing of the site has most likely moved through the stream network and may not be causing
11

•
significant adjustments in channel geomorphology at the present time. In addition, decreases in the base
elevation of Back Creek in response to historical changes in land use or the installation of dams and culverts,
i may have influenced or be influencing channel morphology of UTBC. However, it is probable that vertical
. grade control exists between the location of the site and the confluence of UTBC and Back Creek that would
prevent a headcut from advancing upstream to the site.
i
. The most significant factors contributing to stream degradation on site, both in the past and present, are the
impacts associated with cattle access to the stream and the absence of riparian and bank vegetation. The
resulting bank instability has allowed a majority of the project stream to incise, overwiden and straighten to
i varying degrees and other stream sections to experience overwidening and possibly meander migration. The
presence of shallow bedrock contacts on site has prevented the stream from incising further.
i
To better understand the existing and possible future condition of the project stream, qualitative stability
assessments of distinct stream sections were developed based on both the dimensionless ratios (i.e.,
entrenchment ratio, bank height ratio) calculated from the cross-section data and visual observations.
Section 1 from Station 10+00 to -14+90 is a transitioning reach. This Type 134c reach is the steepest and
most entrenched section of the project stream with a bank height ratio of 1.21, entrenchment ratio of 1.76 and
w a slope of 0.011. Past disturbance of the stream caused this section to incise to bedrock elevation, overwiden
and straighten. At the present time, this section has begun to form a Type C channel within the older,
overwidened channel. The overall rate and extent of bank failure for the reach has declined and bar formation
. is active in a few locations where a meander planform is developing. Bank erosion potential is high in
localized areas of meander formation (e.g., the location of XS2), but sediment input from this section is
expected to be relatively low. Section 1 also experiences the least disturbance due to cattle access. A
combination of the high left bank heights with the proximity of the hill slope to the right bank greatly reduce
. the amount of physical damage directly caused by the cattle due to hoof shear and trampling. In addition,
approximately 145 feet of the upper portion of Section 1 is fenced out of the pasture area.
. Towards the downstream end of Section 1, the stream valley widens, channel entrenchment decreases and
water surface slope decreases. In contrast to Section 1, the stream in Section 2 is heavily impacted by cattle
access and exhibits large variations in width and degree of bank failure, resulting in high sediment input to the
. stream. In general, Section 2 from Station -14+90 to 20+05 is experiencing both aggradation and widening.
Historically, the channel was probably a Type C4, or possibly a Type C5 at the higher base elevation, that
downcut to become slightly entrenched, but not to a sufficient degree to classify as a Type G or Type F
. stream, and is now becoming significantly wider. The large amount of sediment contributed by the eroding
banks is causing channel aggradation that only exacerbates the need for the hydraulically inefficient,
overwidened channel to increase bankfull width.
It is important to consider this process of channel evolution where downcutting, widening and aggrading has
occurred when evaluating the bed material size distribution of the existing degraded channel in both Sections
. 1 and 2. The large amount of cobble and boulder-sized material is predominantly due to materials already
present in the soil column and weathered bedrock becoming exposed and worked into the bed of the active
channel. The presence of these larger size classes is not an indication of the bankfull sediment transport
. capacity of the existing stream.
Section 3 from Station 20+05 to - 34+45 is significantly different from Sections 1 and 2 in that the channel
r narrows considerate'; -end retains some original meander pattern. The bank height ratio decreases to 1.0 as the
. stream approaches the location of XS3. Section 3 is widening to a greater degree at the upstream end and
experiencing only minor degradation. The downstream reach of Section 3 is only moderately unstable with
almost no bed degradation, near vertical outside meander banks and inside meander banks that appear to be
. aggrading. This reach may be experiencing a slow meander migration as a result of the outside meander

- Cross sections 3 and 4 were classified as Type E5 and Type C5, respectively. This section may have been a
stable Type E5 that is undergoing moderate bank failure and will stabilize as a Type C5 stream. At the
present time, Section 3 seems to be undergoing the least amount of erosion and change in dimension, plan and
- profile of all the sections of the project stream.
• 4.5 Constraints
The presence of conditions or characteristics that have the potential to hinder restoration activities on the
project site was evaluated. The evaluation focused primarily on the presence of hazardous materials, utilities
- and restrictive easements, rare/threatened/endangered species (RTE) or critical habitats, cultural resources,
and the potential for hydrologic trespass. 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 that may hinder the implementation of site restoration activities.
•
4.5.1 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 McCain
• Property or within the specified search radii. The visual site inspection was conducted in April 2003, and
• there were no potential environmental concerns to the project site or hazardous materials identified. The
findings were documented on an Environmental Screening Inspection Form with corresponding photographs.
•
0 4.5.2 Utilities and Easements
KCI obtained copies of the property deed dating back to 1936 from the Randolph County Tax Office in April
• 2003 (Table 3). A power line easement transects the subject property in a southwest-northeast orientation,
- crossing UTBC at Station 19+70. The documentation for the power line easement was not found in the
records at the Randolph County Tax Office. KCI determined that Randolph Electric is the power company
• that owns the easement (Contact: Ron Gunnell at (336) 625-0981 ext. 342).

Trees will be planted outside of the utility easement. A fall zone will, by default, extend to the edge of the
utility easement. The power company will likely retain the rights to maintain "dangerous" trees immediately
adjacent to the utility easement, following coordination with the holder of the conservation easement.
There will be no management agreement with the power company. The utility easement will be excluded
from the conservation easement for the McCain Mitigation Site.
4.5.3 Hydrologic Trespass
The proposed project reach is entirely contained within the McCain property. The restorat .,_; -f the project
reach is not anticipated to produce hydrologic trespass conditions on any adjacent properties.

5.0 REFERENCE REACH ANALYSIS
A reference reach is a channel with a stable dimension, pattern, and profile within the 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). The selection criteria included a stable reach occurring
r under similar hydrophysiographic, landform, and watershed land use conditions.
S The project site occurs in rolling to hilly terrain of the Carolina Slate Belt ecoregion of the Piedmont
. physiographic province. The project stream runs through a gently sloping valley (average slope of
approximately 0.8%) with alternating toe slopes. The project watershed is a small (0.88 square miles),
primarily forested watershed with a small percentage of agriculture, pasture, and rural, low-density residential
. land uses. A reference reach with similar site and watershed conditions was desired.
It was determined that the restored stream will contain sections of two Rosgen stream types - "C3" and "C4."
. The NCDOT reference reach database was used to select potential reference reaches with similar stream type
S and slope. The database did not contain any Rosgen "C3" type steams in the piedmont physiographic
province, however four potential "C4" reference reaches were visited to determine their use for this project.
. The reaches are listed below:
- UT to South Fork Cane Creek, Chatham County
. - Morgan Creek, Orange County
. - Spencer Branch, Montgomery County
Richland Creek, Moore County

Richland Creek was selected as a reference reach for the McCain Site. In addition, a second suitable
reference reach site was located on the project stream (UT to Back Creek), immediately upstream of the
project site. Each reference reach is described in Appendix E with the location, description, photographs, and
surveyed data.
6.0 RESTORATION DESIGN
The restoration design of the Un-named Tributary to Back Creek (UTBC) is based on a Priority Level 2
approach, 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 4.
6.1 Stream
The design proposes constructing 2,445 linear feet of meandering channel. The 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 design
bankfull stage will equal the floodplain elevation in the new channel (bank height ratio = 1.0). The proposed
stream dimension, pattern, and profile will be based on the detailed morphological criteria and hydraulic
geometry relationships developed from the reference stream, see Table 5. The establishment of a stable
bedform (i.e., riffle-pool sequence, pool spacing) will be addressed in the profiling of the design channel.
Refer to Figures 7 through 20 for the proposed channel dimension, pattern and profile.
In-stream structures will be incorporated to reduce the burden of energy dissipation on the channel geometry.
J-Vanes (Figure 14: Details) will be used to stabilize the restored channel. These structures are designed to
15
s
i
s
i
Stream Restoration Plan McCain Property, Randolph, Co., NC
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 be stabilized with grade control structures and step sequences where
necessary to match the proposed grade of the restored main channel. Excavated materials from the design
channel will be used to partially backfill the abandoned channel sections.
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.
• A gate will be provided in the cattle-exclusion fencing and a stabilized stream crossing provided for
machinery access to the utility easement.
• Two stabilized stream crossings will be installed to provide cattle and machinery access to isolated
pasture areas. Rock fords, fenced on either side to exclude cattle from further accessing the waterway, are
recommended measures for these crossings.
• Offline watering devices will be installed at a two locations.
6.2 Riparian Buffers
Native woody and herbaceous species will be used to establish fifty (50) foot wide riparian buffers on both
sides of the restored reach. Four hundred thirty-six (436) trees per acre (based on an average 10' x 10'
spacing) will be planted to achieve a mature survivability of three hundred twenty (320) trees per acre in the
riparian zone (DENR, 2001). Plant placement and groupings will be randomized during installation in order
to develop a more naturalized appearance in the buffer. Woody vegetation planting will be conducted during
dormancy.
Tree and shrub species to be planted may consist of the following:
Trees
American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis)
Tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera)
Green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica)
River birch (Betula nigra)
Cherrybark oak (Quercus pagoda)
Willow oak (Quercus phellos)
Water oak (Quercus nigra)
Herbaceous vegetation within the buffer shall consist of a native grass mix that may include: big bluestem
(Andropogon gerardii), purple love grass (Eragrostis spectabilis), deertongue (Panicum clandestinum), gama
grass (Tripsacum dactyloides), orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata), river oats (Chasmanthium latifolium), and
Virginia wildrye (Elymus virginicus). Rye grain (Secale cereale) or brown top millet (Pennisetum glaucum)
will be used for temporary stabilization, depending upon the construction schedule.
On the restored stream banks, live stakes will be used in conjunction with the native herbaceous seed mix to
provide natural stabilization. Appropriate species identified for live staking include elderberry (Sambucus
canadensis), silky willow (Salix sericea), silky dogwood (Corpus amomum), and black willow (Salix nigra).

7.0 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/ft2. 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.
7.1 Competency
•
Whenever there is any stream flow, there will always be sediment movement. However, there is a threshold
level of bedload sediment movement that will result in a noticeable change in the channel bed. The flow
associated with this threshold movement 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, only the smallest particles will be moving, with the larger particles resisting 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.
Some streams will routinely reach full sediment transport, such as sand streams, and models such as Ackers &
White (1973) are used for these conditions. Some streams will rarely move even the median size particle on
the bed (D50), such as cobble-boulder streams, and models such as Andrews (1983, 1994) are used for these
conditions. There is a wide range of sand-gravel-cobble 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 at the stream channel on the McCain property, and the model used was Wilcock-Crowe
(2003), which is actually a "sediment capacity" model (see next section). However, a capacity model must
- contain an entrainment predictor.
Entrainment is the condition that initiates the movement of a selected particle size in the presence of a mix
S 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. The preferred method of determining this particle size
- and flow condition is by direct measurement. However, to stand in a stream channel at bankfull flow with
both a flow meter and a sediment sampler is both difficult and extremely unlikely in remote locations.
However, a rain gage and stream gages can be installed to measure the stream channel's response to rain
- events and, in the channel bed, scour chains installed to measure the depth of scour during these events. The
- bed material above the scour chain can be collected and sieved to determine the material sizes in transport for
a known recorded flow event.
s
• The indirect scour chain method was attempted at the McCain site. In addition, the channel was sampled by
the pebble count method at several sites for trend analysis and at one scour chain site, the surface and
subsurface sediment samples were sieved to compare to the scour chain data. However, the UTBC stream bed
- has been compacted by cattle and after months of observations, the scour chains never recorded a sediment
transport event. Another four sites were sampled for surface and subsurface sediment gradation, including the
second scour chain site. Two bar locations were also sampled with the intent of conducting detailed analysis
- of the sediment data to determine if a design shear stress could be calculat, "_om the Wilcock-Crowe (2003)
models.
s
- There are two ways to model streams; first to consider only the largest particle observed in motion (Andrews,
1983) and second to consider all of the bed material observed to be in motion (Andrews, 1994). If the stream
- 30
• Stream Restoration Plan McCain Property. Randolph, Co., NC
channel has a bed of sediment in balance with its flow, then there should be a natural armour layer on the
surface, with the subsurface an indication on the annual bedload. An attempt to find a sediment transport
balance between the entire surface and subsurface samples was futile. The surface and subsurface had been
mixed by the cattle too much to have this balance condition represented in the samples. There was also an
attempt to determine if the subsurface could predict the surface D50 (and vice versa), which produced
encouraging results at two locations. The largest particles found in the surface and subsurface samples were
compared to the gradation of the surface samples. This did not produce useful results as the mixing by the
cattle had driven large particles into the subsurface (and small particles into the surface that washed away).
• The assumption that the subsurface could be an indicator of annual sediment transport was not viable,
however a second assumption of balanced streams is that a point bar sample at the so called "1/3, 1/3"
location could be an indicator of annual sediment transport. The upstream bar proved to be the wrong kind
. and the downstream point bar at scour chain site #2 showed a good result when compared to the surface
sample at that location. This result compared well to the best of the subsurface modeling. The location of
. this sediment sample was also well placed for use in the stream restoration design. Scour chain site #2 was
. well away from the channery deposit at the top end of the site. The surface material in the channel could then
represent the gravel layer where the relocated stream channel would be placed.
. This model produced an average shear stress condition that would be used in stream design to move the
largest particles expected to be in the sediment transport over the expected gradation of the stream channel.
This shear stress can be used for the design riffle cross-sections and channel gradient in the various project
. reaches using the equation:
ti = yRs
• Where: T = shear stress (lbs/ft2)
y = specific gravity of water (62.41bs/ft)
. R = hydraulic radius (ft)
s = average water slope (ft/ft)
The target shear stress value (converted to a shear-velocity) for the design cross-sections is u* = 0.156 m/s.
Supporting sediment transport calculations and rating curves are provided in Appendix F.
. 7.2 Capacity
A sediment transport capacity analysis was not conducted because the reach on the McCain property is a
transport reach. Transport reaches are supply limited and will flush their beds at the end of storms. A
realistic sediment transport model cannot be based on a flushed channel bed. The flushed bed cannot predict
the movement of the fine materials that make up the bulk of the bedload sediment transport.
8.0 FLOODING ANALYSIS
The Un-named Tributary to Back Creek (UTBC) in Randolph County is not located in a Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) Detailed Flood Study Zone. It is the intent of the restoration design to
maintain the 100-r.:c, 1ood elevation at or below the current stages following restoration.
The conversion of an existing, incised stream system to a more open and natural meandering stream will
normally reduce flood stages along the project reach. At the downstream end of the project, the stream
31
Stream Restoration Plan McCain Property, Randolph, Co., NC
encounters the floodplain of Back Creek approximately a mile above the Back Creek Lake reservoir. It is not
likely that the existing UTBC has any effect on the 100-yr flood stage at this location.
9.0 MONITORING AND EVALUATION
•
Monitoring shall consist of the collection and analysis of stream stability and riparian/stream bank vegetation
survivability data to support the evaluation of the project in meeting established restoration objectives.
. Specifically, project success will be assessed utilizing measurements of stream dimension, pattern, and
. profile, site photographs, and vegetation sampling.
. 9.1 Duration
The first scheduled monitoring will be conducted at the end of the first full growing following project
. completion. Monitoring shall subsequently be conducted annually for a total period of five (5) years.
9.2 Reporting
i Monitoring reports will be prepared and submitted after all monitoring tasks for each monitoring event are
completed. Each report will provide the new monitoring data and compare the new data against previous
findings. Data tables, cross sections, profiles, photographs and other graphics will be included in the report as
. necessary. Each report will include a discussion of any significant deviations from the as-built survey and
previous annual measurements, as well as evaluations as to whether the changes indicate a stabilizing or de-
stabilizing condition.
e
9.3 Stream Stability
•
- 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. Width/depth ratio, entrenchment ratio, low bank height ratio, sinuosity, meander
• width ratio, radius of curvature (on newly constructed meanders during 1st year monitoring only), pool-to-
pool spacing as well as the average, riffle and pool water slopes will be calculated from the collected data.
• Pebble count data will be plotted by size distribution in order to assess the D50 and D84 size class.
• 9.3.1 Dimension
• Four permanent cross-sections, two riffle and two pool, will be established and used to evaluate stream
dimension. At least one riffle and one pool cross-section will be located within the area also surveyed as part
• of the longitudinal profile. 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, entrenchment ratios and bank height ratios will be calculated for each cross-
section.
• Cross-section measurements should show little change from the as-built cross-sections. If changes do occur,
• they will be evaluated to determine whether they are minor adjustments associated with settlin _.J increased
stability or whether they indicate movement toward an unstable condition.

9.3.2 Pattern
Measurements associated with the restored channel pattern will include belt width, meander length, and radius
of curvature (on newly constructed meanders only for the first year). Subsequently, sinuosity, meander width
ratio and radius of curvature and meander length/bankfull width ratios will be calculated.
9.3.3 Profile
A longitudinal profile of a representative reach of the restored channel will be surveyed. The profile will
extend a minimum of 20 bankfull widths. 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.
9.3.4 Bed Materials
Pebble counts will be conducted at each riffle cross-section, as well as across the overall study reach (based
upon percentage of riffles and pools) for the purpose of classification and to evaluate sediment transport.
9.4 Photograph Reference Points
Photograph reference points (PRP's) will be established to assist in characterizing the site and to allow
qualitative evaluation of the site conditions. The location of each photo point will be permanently marked in
the field and the bearing/orientation documented to allow for repeated use.
9.4.1 Cross-section Photograph Reference Points
Four (4) photographs will be taken at each permanent cross section, as follows: 1) from the left bank
permanent monument/pin showing the right bank, 2) from the right bank permanent monument/pin showing
the left bank, 3) from downstream of the cross-section looking upstream, and 4) from upstream of the cross-
section looking downstream. The survey tape will be centered in each photograph and the water line will be
located near the lower edge. Effort will be made to consistently show the same area in each photograph.
9.4.2 Longitudinal Photograph Reference Points
Ten (10) permanent points will be established longitudinally throughout the project site to allow further
photo-documentation of the restored stream channel condition.
9.4.3 Additional Photograph Locations
Additional PRP's will be located, as needed, to document the condition of specific in-stream structures such
as J-vanes and cross vanes, as well as infrastructure associated with the stream such as utility and road
crossings.
9.5 Bank and Riparian Vegetation Monitoring
Bank and Riparian Vegetation monitoring shall follow the EEP Vegetation Monitoring Protocol, which will
be accepted and approved before construction of this project begins.

Appendix D
Stream Design Strategy
McCain Site, Randolph Co
In the layout of the relocated stream design, the natural stability of the planform was of great
concern. The two natural ranges for Rc/Wbkf and PP/Wbkf were targeted. However it was only
after the second design iteration that these values were attained.
• The allocation of the stream drop across the proposed profile had to match the three general reach
. gradients of the existing profile. After the first design iteration, it became obvious that there was
going to be a hydraulic drop issue at the upstream gradient increase and a slope transition would be
• required at the downstream reduction in stream gradient. Because of concerns over a reduction in
bed roughness along the steeper portion of the relocated alignment, the Sriffle/Save ratio was kept
• low and the Lriffle/Lpool ratio kept high. These two values are expected to adjust as the relocated
channel sorts its bed over time. Also the Dpool/Dbkf ratio was held within a natural range, which
• results in the WpooVWbkf ratio being very low and out of range.
•
• In cross section, the concern over the proposed channel bed roughness resulted to a reduction in both
Dbkf and the W/D ratio. As a consequence the Abkf was higher and Vbkf lower than the target
• values.
. The combination of planform, profile and dimension adjustments met the design shear velocity
target value, which is an indication that the channel would remain stable once it is taken away from
• the valley walls and place back into an existing alluvial layer in the bottom of the valley.
• At the upstream channel gradient transition, a hydraulic drop will result from the differences in the
• stream channel W/D ratios. To remedy this drop and prevent a headcut from proceeding upstream, a
flow constrictor was designed to manage the energy of this water surface drop. The flow
. environment at the top of the project site is obviously energetic, such that a few step-pool structures
- may be required at the property line in-lieu-of the first riffle-pool sequence.
Tributaries where possible will be turned into the abandoned stream channel and connections
• provided to link the abandoned channel to the proposed channel. This will retain the natural bottom
• of the existing stream channel and provide even greater variety in rearing and refugia habitat. Where
the exiting channel alignment and the proposed channel alignment crosses, the abandoned channel
will be plugged at its upstream end and partially filled to prevent chute cutoffs from forming. There
• will also be a couple of very good opportunities to create off-channel oxbow habitat. Where the
. abandoned channel strikes the valley walls, a bench should be installed of soil such that vegetation
can stabilize the exposed high banks.

Memorandum
Re: McCain Mitigation Site Reference Reaches
Date: May 21, 2004
Introduction/Overview
As part of the Mitigation Planning effort for the McCain Site in Randolph County, North
Carolina, a suitable reference reach was needed to develop dimensionless geomorphic
ratios for use in the stream restoration design. The selection criteria included a stable
reach occurring under similar hydrophysiographic, landform, and watershed land use
conditions.
The project site occurs in rolling to hilly terrain of the Carolina Slate Belt ecoregion of
the Piedmont physiographic province. The project stream runs through a gently sloping
valley (average slope of approximately 0.8%) with alternating toe slopes. The project
watershed is a small (0.88 square miles), primarily forested watershed with a small
percentage of agriculture, pasture, and rural, low-density residential land uses. A
reference reach with similar site and watershed conditions was desired.
It was determined that the restored stream will contain sections of two Rosgen stream
types - "C3" and "C4." The NCDOT reference reach database was used to select
potential reference reaches with similar stream type and slope. The database did not
contain any Rosgen "C3" type steams in the piedmont physiographic province, however
four potential "C4" reference reaches were visited to determine their use for this project.
The reaches are listed below:
- UT to South Fork Cane Creek, Chatham County
- Morgan Creek, Orange County
- Spencer Branch, Montgomery County
- Richland Creek, Moore County
Richland Creek was selected as a reference reach for the McCain Site. In addition, a
second suitable reference reach site was located on the project stream (UT to Back
Creek), immediately upstream of the project site. Each reference reach is described
below with the location, description, and surveyed data.

UT to Back Creek (UTBC), Randolph County
The UTBC reference site is located in Randolph County, northwest of the City of
Asheboro. The reference reach is located off of Lake Lucas Road, upstream of the
McCain property on a parcel owned by Mr. Ray Thomas of Climax, NC. This 712-foot
reach is a moderate to high sinuosity channel within a mature forested tract. UTBC,
through the reference reach, has an average slope of 0.7% and was classified as a Rosgen
"E4/C4" stream type. Maps showing the vicinity and site, as well as the reference reach
survey summary is shown on the following pages.
The UT to Back Creek reference reach is located northwest of Asheboro in Randolph
County.
The 712-foot reach is located upstream of the project site.

Sediment Sampling and Entrainment at the Un-named Tributary to Back Creek
Four pebble counts were taken in the project reaches and two pebble counts taken in the upstream
. reference reach. Five bed samples were taken in the project reaches, both surface & subsurface at
each location. Two bar samples were taken; one side and one point. Two scour chains, a rain gage
and two flow gages were installed.
Observations
From the pebble counts, there are variations in the channel bed, with a noticeable trend to finer beds
. in the downstream direction. This would make sense for a watershed and geological point of view.
. The upper reaches are dominated by channery deposits from tributaries that the existing channel has
cut through. The lower reach is close to the Back Creek confluence and would be dominated by
backwater effects from the main channel, as the Back Creek Lake reservoir is just downstream.
i
Of the channel bed samples, the one at XS3 (SC2) does not follow the trend of downstream fining in
the subsurface sample. XS3 has all the indications of a cattle trod streambed. The armour ratio
between the surface and subsurface sample is very low. This occurs when the cattle hooves mix the
channel bed, which leads to the loss of fines from the subsurface. There are insignificant differences
between these two samples, and these samples do not fall within the trend of the other three bed
samples or the four pebble counts. The channel samples from SC 1 also show sign of being heavily
trodded. Having only two sample immediately showing significant cattle damage is actually quite
amazing considering the heard at the project site.
The bed samples have several significant trends. First there is a downstream fining. Second, the
D84 of the subsurface sample is close to the D50 of the surface sample indicating that the D50 of the
channel bed should be mobilized during bankfull events. The armour ratio of the three bed samples
range from 2.1 to 2.8 (increasing downsteam) which is another indication that the channel bed
surface is active at bankfull flows. An active bed is one where the subsurface is a good indication of
the bedload sediment transport in the stream system. Third, while there are decent amounts of sand
in the subsurface, ranging from 11% to 25%, there is no indication in the pebble counts or bed
surface bulk samples of any sand at all. However, all of the bar samples have high sand content,
ranging from 29% to 66%. Therefore the channel bed does not record the sand transport that is
obvious in the system.
There are two broad methods of sediment transport analysis developed by Gilbert in 1914, first to
look at the entire channel bed in sediment transport modeling, or to look at the competency of the
channel to move the largest observed in sediment transport.
When four of the channel bed samples are subjected to entire bed sediment transport modeling, there
are several indicators that the surface and subsurface are not in balance. Such widespread
inconsistencies point to the fact that all of the sample locations are effected by cattle trodding. The
two scour chain sites, looked the most alluvial and en _:st to install a chain. However by being the
most alluvial, the cattle trodding had the highcst impacts. The less alluvial sites were more
armoured and less likely to be mixed. However, the mixing that did occur was enough to unbalance
the surface and subsurface samples. This natural balance was examined in two ways, first: could the
Appendix F McCain Site, Randolph Co
surface and subsurface samples cross predict sediment transport rates with shear stress, and second:
could the surface and subsurface samples predict the other's D50 with shear stress.
- When the channel samples were modeled for the sediment transport rates, only two spots show
reasonable results that however had shallower flow depths than had been expected. When the
w modeling was examined for the D50 balance most results were absurdly high or low and the best
results were at the same two spots as before and they produced deeper flow depths than the previous
• analysis.
The sediment transport analysis based on the entrainment of the largest particles thought to be in
motion was attempted in three ways. First scour chains were installed at two sites, however the
channel beds seem to have mixed and then compacted by the cattle. After several bankfull events,
there still had not been any scour and redeposit at these two locations. No sampling could be
performed this way.
- When the channel bed samples were examined directly, the largest particles in the channel were all
outside of the valid range of any of Andrew's (1983, 1994) equations. When the Wilcock-Crowe
(2003) equation was used, it consistently produced shear result indicating that out of bank flow
• events are required to move these particle sizes.
Finally when the bar samples were compared to the channel beds, only the point bar sample had
! reasonable results. Upstream at XS 1, the bar sample was 2/3rds sand and the channel bed was
- extremely narrowly sorted. This is an indication of extreme local turbulence washing the channel
- bed into a narrow gradation range and suspending the sand into the flow. The side bar sample would
then be more representative of the local wash load and not the bed load, so it could not be used.
Downstream at XS3, the point bar sample was somewhat unique in the channel system because there
• were very few well-developed point bars. When the D84 of the point bar was compared to the
channel bed D50 it produced a flow depth that matched the reference reach and regional curve
expectation.
. Conclusions
Because of the trampled condition of SCI & XS3, these sampled subsurfaces cannot be used in any
meaningful way in a sediment transport analysis.
Because of the absence of sand in the surface bulk samples, a full range sediment transport analysis
is not possible from these samples. These samples may be used in an entrainment type calculation of
the largest particle in motion. However, the recent methods of Dave Rosgen (to perform these
. calculations using Andrews equations) do not fit the data set from the McCain property very well.
w The fact that sand is missing in the streambed is an indication that this tributary primarily acts as a
a transport reach. It is likely that this project site is supply limited for the sand fraction. Meaning that
. th ? -pstream supply of sand will cut off before the project's reaches' capability of transport this
sand. As a consequence, the channel bed will wash clean of sand and store this last of the sand
transport in the shallow pool locations as the stream flow recedes after each bankfull flow event.
a Because this stream acts so much like a transport channel, the channel bed does not truly represent a
Appendix F
McCain Site, Randolph Co
regime channel, therefore it's not surprising that the sediment transport parameters will fall outside
of normal alluvial stream channel characteristics.
The entrainment calculation is based on assessing the largest particle known to be transported during
bankfull events. However these particle sizes are much larger than the D50 of the channel bed.
Therefore, the use of "near equal mobility" functions, like Andrew's (1983, 1994) equations, are not
possible because the data exceeds the 1.3 x D50 upper size limitation of these equations. Only XS 1
comes close to the published valid range for Andrew's equation and this location sowed signs of
extreme turbulence. For the data range of the McCain site, a "near no-hiding" function, like the
Wilcock-Crowe (2003) equations, are appropriate.
The "near no-hiding" reference shear stress for mobility from the Wilcock-Crowe function is:
0.67
DI
Zri - zrs50
(Ds50)
where:
r* = 0.036
for a gravel bed.
Zrs5o = Zrm (ps - P)gDsso
Based on the bar samples at XS3, a point shear velocity of 0.201 m/s (0.66 fps)was selected for the
channel design. When this shear velocity was combined with a design Q of around 2.834 m3/s (100
cfs), four reaches with differing channel gradients produced cross sectional geometry that fit well
with the range of geometry observed in the reference reach. When the hydraulic radius and average
channel gradient from the two steepest reaches was examined, the design point shear stress was
converted back to an average shear stress of 0.1565 m/s. This agreed amazing well with the average
shear stress of 0.1566 m/s from the entrainment calculations, shown below.
