These comments are attached for your review. Based on our review of these comments, we have determined that no major concerns have been identified with the Draft Mitigation Plan, which is considered approved with this correspondence. However, several minor issues were identified, as described in the attached comment memo, which must be addressed in the Final Mitigation Plan. The Final Mitigation Plan is to be submitted with the Preconstruction Notification (PCN) Application for Nationwide permit approval of the proj ect along with a copy of this letter. Issues identified above must be addressed in the Final Mitigation Plan. All changes made to the Final Mitigation Plan should be summarized in an errata sheet included at the beginning of the document. If it is determined that the project does not require a Department of the Army permit, you must still provide a copy of the Final Mitigation Plan, along with a copy of this letter, to the appropriate USACE field office at least 30 days in advance of beginning construction of the project. Please note that this approval does not preclude the inclusion of permit conditions in the permit authorization for the project, particularly if issues mentioned above are not satisfactorily addressed. Additionally, this letter provides initial approval for the Mitigation Plan, but this does not guarantee that the project will generate the requested amount of mitigation credit. As you are aware, unforeseen issues may arise during construction or monitoring of the project that may require maintenance or reconstruction that may lead to reduced credit. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter, and if you have any questions regarding this letter, the mitigation plan review process, or the requirements of the Mitigation Rule, please call me at 919-554-4884.

Your response (memo, August 30, 2018) indicated that HCI will displace the jurisdictional length, however, HCI appears to cross over NM5 and not completely displace it. In addition, in Appendix G, your Table shows reach NM5 as intermittent as per the DWR stream form (23.5). The majority of NM5 will be displaced by the restoration of HCI due to plugging NM5 at the confluence of the existing location of HCI and filling in that abandoned channel_ NM5 is an intermittent channel and `ephemeral' in the design reach sections on page 30 has been changed to intermittent. DWR needs to see consistency in the labeling of reaches. On Figure 8c reach HC2-C is labeled in one location and on Figure I Ob is labeled in another location. This is confusing when reading the existing channel morphology summaries and not knowing which reach is being described. For example, what I was looking for was a description that included existing wetlands in reach HC2-B and HC2-C, but did not see any mention of existing wetlands. Initially I was focusing on reach HC2-B, and that when I became confused with the labeling. Figure 8c (existing conditions) has been updated to better show which reach is being labeled. Also, wetland acreage has been added to the appropriate reaches in the existing conditions section (Reaches HC2-A, HC2-13, TP2 and TP3). Section 6.2- Design Approach- in reading the paragraph for reach HC2-B there was mention of existing wetlands, however, no mention on increasing the function of these adjacent wetlands. However, wetlands were mentioned in Table 11 (reference Hydrology and "maintaining a stable water table in riparian wetlands"). The increase in wetland function was stated in Section 6.4 in the last paragraph. Section 6.2 has been revised to better address increasing the function of the adjacent wetlands, specifically the paragraph before the design reach descriptions and Reach HC2-13. 4. Section 7 Performance Standards- DWR would like to stress that the flow metric stated in the Surface Flow paragraph should only be referring to intermittent channels (NMI, NM4, TP2, and TP3). Understood that the surface flow section only applies to intermittent reaches and we have those reaches listed (NMI, NM4, TP2, and TP3). 5. DWR would like to see a groundwater gauge placed in the adjacent wetlands on stream right at or near station 24+75. This groundwater gauge has been added to the monitoring plan on the design sheet, the monitoring plan figure, and the language has also been added to Reach HC2-B in Section 6.2. 6. DWR believes there is a significant opportunity to enhance/create/restore wetlands in the channel backfill portions of reaches HC2-B and HCI. RES agrees and has updated Section 6.2 for design reach descriptions for HCI and HC2-B. 7. DWR notes that the typical for channel backfill referred to on Design sheet MB5 is actually on sheet D2 and not sheet D3. Callout has been adjusted on sheets MB4 and MB5 to reflect correct detail sheet. Callout has also been added to other applicable sheets where backfill/abandonment occurs. 8. DWR likes the format of the RES Design Sheets. Thanks! 9. DWR also likes the proposal to install a couple of detention basins at the top of a couple of reaches. However, DWR would like to see less rock in these detention bases. DWR requests that RES go back and look at some other designs that would incorporate less rock, perhaps some vegetation on the edges or other more natural approaches that would be designed to be subject to vegetative succession. Dry sediment basin detail has been replaced with sediment trap detail to incorporate less rock and add more vegetation. 10. It appears that the detention basin planned for reach TP3 may be in a jurisdictional wetland. RES may either want to redesign this basin or consider not incorporating a basin at this location. Dry Detention Basin has been replaced with Sediment Trap in order to avoid adding rock to a jurisdictional wetland. 11. Design Sheets MB 12 and MB13- there are two linear features on these sheets that appear to be streams or stream -like. On sheet MB 13, the feature appears to be NMS, if this is the case then the design for HCI simply crosses NM5 and does not actually displace the reach. On sheet MB12, another feature is running parallel to the existing channel, and the design channel does somewhat "displace" the parallel feature. Therefore, from a permitting standpoint, it looks as though NM5 will largely be filled and the other feature will largely be incorporated into the new design channel. This is correct, and Section 6.2 has been revised, specially Reach NMS. The other feature is actually just a low spot and the blue hatching on the plans has been removed for this feature. Kimberly Browning, USACE: 1. Table 11, Functional Benefits and ImprovementsHighly Functioning (HF) is not a recognized category in the Stream Functional Pyramid Framework. a. Please include the data collection sheets associated with determining the existing and projected functional levels if this data is going to be used to justify functional uplift. The USACE Stream Quality Assessment Forms included in Appendix H can be used to document existing conditions. All references to Highly Functioning have been removed – we have made this change in other mitigation plans as well. Also, the functional pyramid is not being used to justify uplift and the following sentence has been added to Section 4: Neither the Stream Functions Pyramid nor the Quantification Tool are proposed to determine success of the mitigation site. 2. Section 7.1—The Entrenchment Ratio (ER) must be above 2.2 for all measured riffle cross- sections on a given reach (for C and E streams), not 1.4. Please correct this in Table 17, as well. Section 7.1 and Table 17 have been revised to say that for C/E channels entrenchment ratio shall be no less than 2.2 within restored reaches, and for B channels the entrenchment ratio shall be no less than 1.4 within restored reaches. 3. Figure 8C—The wetland maps indicate there are potential jurisdictional wetlands at the top of reach TP3 where a BMP is planned. BMPs will need to be placed outside of jurisdictional waters. Additionally, since the dry detention basin areas are located within the stream buffers, the mitigation plan should include a performance standard for the marsh areas tied to vegetation success. The BMP on Reach TP3 has been revised to a sediment trap which incorporates woody debris and live stakes and should not impact the potential wetland areas. This is not a permanent structure that is being placed in the jurisdictional wetland and is all wood. Also, the treatment on TP3 is enhancement II, so this will not increase or affect the wetland hydrology on Wetland A. Wetland A is mostly outside the easement area (026 acres in easement vs. 0.83 acres in total for WA). Since the dry detention basin has been revised to the sediment trap and the treatment is enhancement II, there are not any additional performance standards for this "marsh area". All planted areas will be monitored for success and we have moved the vegetation plot upstream on TP3 to be in/near the wetland area. 4. Please include a monitoring map which includes the location of veg plots, flow gauges, photo locations, and crest gauges, similar to sheet M1. Figure I I has been added. 5. Even though there are no wetland credits being sought, it is recommended that wetland gauges be installed and monitored in order to demonstrate no functional loss and/or acreage loss of wetlands with this project. Only Reach HC2-B is being restored through a jurisdictional wetland. Reaches TP3, TP2, and HC2-A are enhancement II with a treatment of riparian buffer planting, invasive species treatment, and cattle exclusion. Per DWR's comment, a wetland gauge is being added to Reach HC2-B near station 24+75 on the right floodplain.

Please title the document and refer to the project accordingly, rather than "Mockingbird Stream Mitigation Site". Mitigation Plan updated to reflect this language. Please confirm that RES has followed the DMS mitigation plan guidance or have explained where and why any of the guidelines may not have been followed. Confirming that RES has followed the June 2017 DMS mitigation plan guidance. Please add tabs for sections, appendices, etc. for the distribution hard copies. Spiral bound is preferred over 3 -ring binder. Tabs have been added to the hard copies. Noted about the spiral bound and we'll provide this if possible, but size of these plans has limited us to 3 -ring binders (CE document was very large). Executive Summary Paragraph 3 — Please elaborate that the DMS Hauser Creek site closed out in 2017, and is now in NCDEQ Stewardship. This has been added to executive summary and Section 3.3 Please indicate that a contracting meeting was held on 9/29/2017 among RES, DMS and IRT, and the meeting minutes can be found in Appendix B. Added to paragraph I It would be good to note, while referencing Figure 1 (Vicinity Map), the total linear feet along Hauser Creek from the top part of Reach HC2 down to the lower end of the DMS Hauser Creek project, and the percentage therein protected by conservation easement with the three combined projects (Mockingbird, Scout, and Hauser). We have added the following information to Section I and the Executive Summary: the total linear feet protected by all three projects on Hauser Creek is 10, 407 LF and this is 60% of Hauser Creek proper in an easement. About 80% of Hauser Creek starting at Reach HC2 to the end of the DMS Hauser Creek project is in an easement. Section 2.0 Watershed Approach You have listed bulleted goals from the 2009 RBRP; however the 2017 guidance indicates to "Describe connections to DMS River Basin Restoration Priorities, DMS Watershed Plans and/or other watershed evaluations. The goals of the project should be linked to the Compensation Planning Framework (CPF) at the highest resolution plan available and should advance the improvement of identified issues." Please describe specifically how the project will help address planning -identified stressors and watershed concerns. Section 2 does list specific goals from the RBRP and Sections 2.1 and 5 discuss how the project will address those goals specifically. This section has been revised to contain more information about how the stressors will be addressed. Provide a project watershed map with watershed planning priority boundaries (e.g., Local Watershed Plan, Targeted Local Watershed, Targeted Resource Area, Regional Watershed Plan) as applicable, and easement boundaries. This figure has been edited to better show the planning boundaries. Site selection / landowner information (2.1) — Please indicate in the mitigation plan and conservation easement that landowners will be responsible for fence maintenance and repairs to exclude livestock from the conservation easement; this was discussed at the IRT meeting. This language has been added. In Table 2, only six of the seven parcels are listed (5853144949 is not shown); please add. Added Section 3.0 Baseline and Existing Conditions 3.1 Drainage Area and Land Use - How did you observe excess nutrient inputs? Please explain. This section of the paragraph has been removed per the comment about Section 3.5 Reach Summary. This type of information is better suited for Section 3.5 and is already in that section. Excess nutrient language has been removed since there were no measurements taken to quantify excess . 3.2 Landscape Characteristics - Please include a citation for this paragraph. If phrases were taken directly from a source document, please add quotation marks and citation. Citation has been added to the References and this paragraph (Griffith et. al 2002). 3.2 Landscape Characteristics - While existing geomorphology, geology, vegetation etc. are adequately described, please describe in more detail per the 2017 guidance how landscape character will influence the project site. For example: How does the hydrologic regime relate to stream condition and function, e.g., discharge and flow frequency? How does the landscape position relate to sources of wetland hydrology? Use maps and/or tables with captions as appropriate to illustrate the major points [link is provided to examples]. Section 3.2 has been revised 2 3.2 Geology - Please provide further discussion on the geology section; if you are not able to interpret how geology influences the landscape, controls grain -size distribution, or affects the project in any way, please remove this section. This section has been revised and combined with the Soils section. 3.2 Geology - Indicate if bedrock is visible at the site and if it is a controlling factor on the site streams. If design considerations are expected due to bedrock, please add discussion. Note there is minimal bedrock within upper half of project along the EII reaches and is not affecting design. No bedrock was observed in the restoration reaches. Section 3.3 is titled land use as well as this one. Please avoid repetition if at all possible. Section 3.1 has been changed to `Drainage Area and Land Cover' and Section 3.3 remains `Land Use Historic, Current, and Future. ' 3.3 Land Use - Include a statement identifying any site improvements such as BMPs and buffer that are expected to provide future uplift and minimize impacts from ongoing agricultural uses outside the conservation easement. The language has been added and was also in Section 5. 3.4 Constraints - Please address culvert and crossing maintenance responsibilities, both pre- and post -close out. This language has been added: All crossing and culvert maintenance will be the responsibility of RES through completion of monitoring. Once the Project has completed monitoring and the Project is closed out, the crossings and culverts will be the responsibility of the landowner(s). 3.5 Reach Summary - Paragraph beginning with "In general" contains the same information as stated in section 3.1. Please avoid repetition. The repetitive information from Section 3.1 has been removed. Section 3.5 - Channel Classification paragraph adds no value to the mitigation plan. Please remove or provide relevant information, table or map. A summary table has been added to show each reach's hydrology status, stream determination score, and existing length. Section 3.5 - Discharge: It is indicated, "Estimating flows are difficult due to... [etc.]"; Do you mean bank full flows? Why is this general info under reach summary section? This section was removed from the report. Page 17, Bankfull verification: Why is RES having so much trouble estimating discharge and determining a design discharge? Please clarify. Bankfull indicators (point bars, benches, etc.) are generally absent along reaches that are heavily impacted from agricultural activities; and therefore, it is difficult to identify bankfull using only these indicators. To avoid confusion, this section was removed from the report. 3 Section 6.0 Mitigation Work Plan Table 16 indicates HC2-13 as 595 LF of Restoration Reach at 1:1; however the IRT meeting minutes (9/29/2017) indicate this was an Ell -justified reach at 2.5:1, and the technical proposal and Task I deliverable (ERTR) indicate and describe an E2 approach. Please clarify and discuss in the narrative how the approach evolved from E2 to R, or please revert back to E2. The existing conditions (page 14) describes this reach: "Reach HC2-B is a gravel/cobble stream that flows in a northerly direction between Reaches HC2 A and HC2-C. The channel is slightly incised in some areas and exhibits irregular banks due to cattle access and hoof shear. The riparian buffer is in fair condition with much of the buffer being intact and wooded, -however, there are areas of invasive species (privet). The buffer is also comprised of several wetland patches. " Reach HC2-B in the mitigation plan was Reach HC2-C in the proposal and ERTR. In the proposal this reach was proposed as Enhancement I, however DWR suggested restoration might be more appropriate based on the level of impairment. Post data collection and detailed survey, the Reach HC2-B was found to be better suited for restoration. Just an FYI, Reach HC2-A in the mitigation plan was Reach HC2-B in the proposal and this treatment is still Enhancement H. Also, we had the incorrect existing conditions description for Reach HC2-B (due to the mix-up of reach label changes) and this has been updated to the actual existing conditions for what is Reach HC2-B in the mitigation plan. "Reach HC2-B is a sand/gravel/cobble stream that flows in a northerly direction between Reaches HC2 A and HC2-C. The channel is incised, has irregular banks due to cattle access and exhibits little bedform diversity. Livestock have direct access to the channel, and the resulting hoof shear has severely degraded the channel banks. The riparian buffer is in poor condition being comprised of an active pasture with some mature trees located along the top of banks. " Plan -generated SMUs on the project total 6,427 while the technical proposal listed 6,047 SMU. Please explain and justify in the plan narrative the additional 380 SMU to the project, versus the technical proposal and contracting stage. The design reach lengths and treatments are justified in the mitigation plan already; however, there is no discussion of contracted SMUs. The additional SMUs come from a couple design changes and actual surveyed linear footage of the channels. Reach HC2-B was enhancement I in the proposal, but is now restoration and this is 296 more SMUs than in the proposal. Reach NM2 (a restoration reach) is 91 more linear feet post detailed survey. Reaches HC2-A and HC2-C are more linear feet than in the proposal as well. Reach HC2-C was originally part of HC2-D in the proposal and this section has changed to enhancement I due to this section of the channel being incised and degraded; this is roughly 87 more SMUs than in the proposal. Also, some reaches did "lose" length from the proposal, notably NMI, NM4, and TPI; however, the proposed easement was not decreased. The treatment on these reaches is EII. The decrease in reach length is due to detailed survey and the restoration alignment does impact a portion of these reaches. Also, it appears Reach TPI in the proposal might have had an incorrect length. Reach TPI stops at the fence line, NMI stops at the farm path, and NM4 stops near the crossing (same as the proposal). The landowner is not interested in additional easement, but we will continue discussions with them. 4 Summary table of notable changes: 6.1 Reference Stream - Include photos and any surveyed cross-sections in the appendix.

Table updated to reflect format. Appendix B DMS has concerns over the proposed channel geometries which propose construction of a low width/depth ratio channel. The proposed geometries appear consistent with the reference analogs but the reference data are compiled from short reach lengths where the streambanks likely benefit from substantial root reinforcement that cannot be established in the short term. Were the constructed channel geometries of the nearby mitigation site reviewed during your design and was the channel response to the applied geometries and construction methods considered? Please review these factors and provide discussion supporting the final design proposal. The proposed width/depth ratios range between 9 and 11, which is on the higher side for E -type channels and where the higher W/D ratios are associated with the larger channels. The mitigation site located downstream of Mockingbird used a design W/D ratio of 13, and the associated reference reach had a W/D ratio of 12; neither of which are significantly higher than ratios used for Mockingbird.

Mockingbird Mitigation Plan ii November 2018 Project #100021 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Mockingbird Site (the "Project") is located in Davie County, North Carolina, approximately eight miles west of Clemmons and five miles northwest of Bermuda Run. Water quality stressors currently affecting the Project include livestock production, agricultural production, and lack of riparian buffer. The Project presents 8,998 linear feet of stream restoration, enhancement, and preservation generating 6,427 Warm Stream Mitigation Units (SMU) along Hauser Creek and eight unnamed tributaries. A contracting meeting was held on 9/29/17 among RES, DMS, and IRT, and the meeting minutes can be found in Appendix B. The Project is located in the Yadkin River Basin within Cataloging Unit 03040101, Target Local Watershed (TLW) 03040101160010, and NC Division of Water Resources (DWR) subbasin 03-07-02. The current State classification for Hauser Creek is Water Supply IV (WS -IV). WS -IV waters are sources of water supply for drinking, culinary, or food processing purposes where a WS -I, II or III classification is not feasible. These waters are also protected for Class C uses (NCDWQ 2011). Consisting of agricultural fields, cattle pastures and wooded areas, the Project's total easement area is 27.46 acres within the overall drainage area of 1,540 acres. The Project has two separate portions along Hauser Creek and in between those portions is the Scout Mitigation Bank. While each site could be developed independently of the other, the combined easements will result in greater continuity of protected corridors along the main stem of Hauser Creek. The downstream end of the Project connects to the DMS Hauser Creek Mitigation Site, which closed out in 2017 and is now in NCDEQ stewardship. All easements combined total approximately 49.33 acres and 14,605 linear feet of stream that will be protected in perpetuity. Approximately 10,400 LF of Hauser Creek is protected by these three projects and this is 60% of Hauser Creek's total length (Figure 1). Goals for the Project include an increase to hydrological function and restoration to ecological function within the existing stream and riparian corridor, and to protect these features in perpetuity. These will be accomplished by returning the existing streams to stable conditions by constructing an E/C type stream with appropriate dimensions and pattern, reconnecting the channel to the floodplain, and bank stabilization throughout. In -stream structures will be installed for vertical stability and to improve habitat, where necessary. Buffer improvements will filter runoff from the surrounding pasture lands, thereby reducing nutrient and sediment loads to the channel. Livestock exclusion fence will be installed along the easement boundary or livestock will be removed. The widening and restoration of the riparian areas will also provide wildlife corridors throughout the Project area. Benefits to be accrued from these activities include improved water quality and terrestrial and aquatic habitat. The stream design approach for the Project is to combine the analog method of natural channel design with analytical methods to evaluate stream flows and hydraulic performance of the channel and floodplain. The analog method involves the use of a reference reach, or "template" stream, adjacent to, nearby, or previously in the same location as the design reach. The template parameters of the analog reach are replicated to create the features of the design reach. The analog approach is useful when watershed and boundary conditions are similar between the design and analog reaches (Skidmore et al., 2001). Hydraulic geometry is developed using analytical methods to identify the design discharge. After completion of all construction and planting activities, the Project will be monitored on a regular basis throughout the seven-year post -construction monitoring period, or until performance standards are met. The Project will be transferred to the NCDEQ Stewardship Program. This party shall serve as conservation easement holder and long-term steward for the property and will conduct periodic inspection of the site to ensure that restrictions required in the conservation easement are upheld. Funding will be supplied by the responsible party on a yearly basis until such time an endowment is established.

The Project lies within the Yadkin River Basin, North Carolina Department of Water Resources (NCDWR) sub -basin 03- 07-02 and United States Geological Survey (USGS) 14 -digit hydrologic unit code (HUC) 03040101160010 (Figure 1). The Project proposes to restore 4,849 linear feet (LF), enhance 3,742 LF, preserve 407 LF, and provide water quality benefit for 1,540 acres of drainage area. The Project is in the Southern Outer Piedmont Level IV ecoregion. The Project area is comprised of two sections (north and south) involving Hauser Creek and nine unnamed tributaries, totaling 8,812 existing LF, which eventually drain into the Yadkin River. The southern easement area is separated from the northern area by over 4,500 feet of Hauser Creek. Over 2,500 feet of this easement break is the Scout Mitigation Bank, which connects to the upstream end of the northern Mockingbird easement area. The downstream end of the Project connects to the DMS Hauser Creek Mitigation Site. All easements combined total approximately 49 acres and 14,605 LF of stream that will be protected in perpetuity. Approximately 10,407 LF of Hauser Creek is protected by these three projects combined, which accounts for about 60% of Hauser Creek. The stream mitigation components are summarized in Table 1 and Figures 10, 10a, and 10b. The northern easement is accessible from Spillman Road where Hauser Creek passes under the road at the downstream end of the Project. The southern easement is accessible through pasture land further south along Spillman Road, across from Triple H Trail. Coordinates for the Project areas are as follow: northern portion (36.038433, -80.516410); southern portion (36.028029, - 80.502333). 1,2 Project Outcomes The streams proposed for restoration have been significantly impacted by livestock production, agricultural practices, and a lack of riparian buffer. Proposed improvements to the Project will meet the river basin needs expressed in the 2009 Upper Yadkin Pee -Dee River Basin Restoration Priorities (RBRP) as well as ecological improvements to riparian corridor within the easement. Through stream restoration, enhancement, and preservation, the Project presents 8,998 LF of proposed stream, generating 6,427 Warm Stream Mitigation Units (SMU) (Table 1). This mitigation plan is consistent with the September 29, 2017 Post Contract IRT Meeting Minutes and IRT response emails (Appendix B). Table 1.

The Upper Yadkin Pee -Dee RBRP identified several restoration needs for the entire Yadkin River Basin, as well as for HUC 03040101. Thirteen counties are included in the Upper Yadkin River Basin, including the towns of Wilkesboro, Elkin, Yadkinville, and Winston-Salem. As of the 2000 census, approximately 660,000 people live in this area. The Project watershed was identified as a Target Local Watershed (TLW) (HUC 03040101160010, Turner and Hauser Creeks TLW), a watershed that exhibits both the need and opportunity for stream, wetland, and riparian buffer restoration. Approximately 39% of this TLW is agricultural lands and over 90% of the watershed is classified as water supply watershed (WSW) designated waters. More specifically, goals outlined in the 2009 RBRP for the watershed include: 1. Restoration of water quality and aquatic habitat in impaired stream segments; 2. Protection of high -resource value waters, including HQW, OR W, and WSW designated waters and those containing large numbers of rare and endangered species (NHEOs); 3. Continuation of existing watershed restoration andprotection initiatives andprojects, including efforts funded by Clean Water Management Trust Fund (CWMTV), DWQ's 319 Program, NC EEP, Ag Cost Share Program (A CSP) and Community Conservation Assistance Program (CLAP); 4. Collaborative efforts with local resource agencies, land trusts and willing landowners to implement new stream, riparian buffer and wetland restoration, enhancement and preservation projects within TLWs; S. Improved management of stormwater runoff (including the implementation of stormwater BMP projects), especially in urban and suburban areas contributing to downstream degradation of stream habitat and impairment of water quality; and 6. Implementation of agricultural BMPs in order to limit inputs of sediment, nutrients, and fecal coliform to streams from active farming operations. Approximately 240 miles of streams in this HUC are affected by habitat degradation, with primary stressors being erodible soils; sediment and erosion from road construction and agriculture; and stormwater flow off impervious surfaces (NCEEP, 2009). Nonexistent or degraded riparian buffers are a significant contributing factor to water quality impairment and habitat degradation in this watershed and the Project will help address these identified stressors as described in Section 2.1. 2,1 Site Selection Currently the Project area has an absence of riparian buffers, bank erosion, sediment deposition, channel incision, cattle access the streams, and the historic land use has led to channelization. The Project will directly and indirectly address stressors identified in the RBRP by stabilizing eroding stream banks, reconnecting incised streams to their floodplains, installing BMPs to treat areas of concentrated agricultural inputs, and restoring forested buffers on the stream channels. These actions will reduce nutrient and sediment inputs to the Project streams, provide stream stability, improve instream habitat, and improve overall hydrology. Project -specific goals and objectives will be addressed further in Section 5. A project watershed map with the Project's drainage areas is shown on Figure 2 and watershed planning priority boundaries are shown on Figure 1. Mockingbird Mitigation Plan 2 November 2018 Project #100021 The Project will address four of the six goals outlined in the 2009 Upper Yadkin Pee -Dee RBRP. By establishing a conservation easement, WSW designated waters will be protected in perpetuity (RBRP Goal 2). Continuation of the project and easement area on Hauser Creek will provide additional protection to Hauser Creek and protect additional WSW waters (RBRP Goal 3). Collaborative efforts have been made with local and willing landowners to implement new stream and enhancement projects within the Turner and Hauser Creeks TLW (03040101160010) (RBRP Goal 4), thereby addressing erosion, sedimentation, and habitat degradation issues due to current agricultural land -use. The Project will include the use of agricultural Best Management Practices (BMPs) to limit inputs of sediment, nutrients, and fecal coliform to streams from active farming operations (RBRP Goal 6). Establishing riparian buffers, instream structures, and increasing bedform diversity will help address RBRP Goal 1, but achievement will not be quantified. The land required for the construction, management, and stewardship of this Project includes portions of seven parcels in Davie County with the following ownership in Table 2 & Figure 3. Once finalized, a copy of the land protection instruments will be included in Appendix C. The DMS Conservation Easement model template will be utilized to draft the site protection instruments. The landowners will be responsible for any fence maintenance and repairs to exclude livestock from the conservation easement, and the conservation easement document will include the applicable language.

The total drainage area for the Project is 1,540 acres (2.41 square miles). Primary land use within the rural watershed consists of approximately 46% forest, 42% agricultural land, and 9% residential. Impervious surface covers two percent of the total watershed (Table 3 & Figure 4). Historic and current land -use within the immediate Project area have allowed cattle direct access to the streams. These activities have negatively impacted both water quality and streambank stability along the Project streams and their tributaries. Table 3. Project Watershed Summary Information Level IV Ecoregion 45b -Southern Outer Piedmont River Basin Yadkin USGS Hydrologic Unit 8 -digit 03040101 USGS Hydrologic Unit 14 -digit 03040101160010 DWR Sub -basin 03-07-02 Project Drainage Area (acres) 1,540 Percent Impervious Area 2% Surface Water Classification Hauser Creek has been classified as a Class C waterway and a Water Supply -IV classification (WS -IV) (NCDWQ 2011). Class C waters are protected for uses such as secondary recreation, fishing, wildlife, fish consumption, aquatic life including propagation, survival and maintenance of biological integrity, and agriculture. Secondary recreation includes wading, boating, and other uses involving human body contact with water where such activities take place in an infrequent, unorganized, or incidental manner (NCDWQ 2011). Waters classified as WSW are water supply watersheds and these classifications protect the water supplies. Water Supply IV (WS -IV) provide water supply for drinking, culinary, or food processing purposes where a WS -I, II, or III classification is not feasible and are generally located in moderately to highly developed watersheds or protected areas. 3,2 Landscape Characteristics Physiography and Topography The Project is located in the Southern Outer Piedmont Level IV ecoregion, which is characterized by lower elevations, less relief, and less precipitation than the Southern Inner Piedmont (Griffith et al. 2002). Elevations within the Piedmont physiographic region range from 300 to 1,500 feet above mean sea level; while elevations through the project watershed range from 704 to 854 feet. The valley along the primary project reach transitions from a moderately confined valley with a slope of 1.5% to 2% to a broad, alluvial floodplain with a 0.4% slope at the downstream end. The primary project reach is typical of a Piedmont stream characterized by a moderate bedload and low sediment supply, largely attributed to wooded buffers and few agricultural impacts. The channel substrate is dominated by gravel and cobble with periodic boulder/bedrock outcrops and maintains a coarse bed Mockingbird Mitigation Plan 4 November 2018 Project #100021 within the upper half of the project. As the channel transitions to a broader alluvial floodplain within the bottom of the project, bed materials become finer (mix of sand and gravel) and the sediment supply becomes moderate to high as livestock access and agricultural practices become more significant within riparian areas. Geology and Soils According to geology data from the North Carolina Geologic Survey, published in 1985, the Project is in the Charlotte and Milton belts. The underlying geology of the Site is mapped as the Permian period (300 million to 250 million years in age) and metamorphosed mafic rock. The rock type is described as intrusive rocks, such as metagabbro, metadiorate, and mafic plutonic -volcanic complexes. The existing soil information from the Natural Resource Conservation Service (MRCS) shows the property is located within the Gaston-Mocksville-Mecklenburg soil association. This association is made of gently sloping to steep, well drained soils that have a loamy surface layer and a clayey or loamy subsoil with a low or moderate shrink -swell potential. They formed in material weathered from mafic and intermediate crystalline rocks on uplands. They are found on broad to narrow ridges and side slopes in the northeastern, central, and southwestern parts of the county. The Davie County Soil Survey shows several mapping units across the Project. Map units include seven soil series. The soil series found on the Project are described below and summarized in Table 4. Project soils are mapped by the NRCS within the easement as Banister fine sandy loam, Codorus loam, Davie sandy loam, Mocksville sandy loam, Oak level clay loam, Rasalo fine sandy loam and Tomlin clay loam (Figure 5). Codorus loam makes up about 64% of the easement, Banister fine sandy loam makes up about 18%, Rasalo fine sandy loam occurs in 6%, Oak level clay loam occurs in 4%, Tomlin clay loam occurs in 6.6%, Davie sandy loam occurs in 0.6%, Mocksville sandy loam occurs in 0.8% of the easement.

In general, these riparian zones are disturbed due to regular land management activities. On April 3, 2018 three 100 -meter squared plots were surveyed along the floodplain of Hauser Creek to categorize the existing vegetation communities. Forested riparian areas along the majority of Hauser creek and its tributaries have been intermittently cattle -grazed and lack a well-developed understory and shrub strata, while short reaches of enhancement and preservation represent more natural community assemblages. For this reason, representative plots were surveyed along reach HC 1, HC2-A and HC2-D (Appendix B). Within each vegetation plot, all trees greater than or equal to five inches (12.7 centimeters) diameter at breast height (DBH) were identified, measured, and used to calculate both basal area and stems per acre. Trees greater than or equal to 54 inches (137 centimeters) in height were used to quantify tree species diversity. Canopy species data was calculated to quantify the existing natural community (Schafale, 2012) (Table 5). Shrub species and herbaceous species were also identified, and the percent cover was estimated. Table 5. Mockingbird Vegetation Plot Summary Basal Area Plot (m2/ha) Avg. DBH (cm) Trees per Acre Total Tree Species Natural Community 1 0 0 0 0 Pasture 23.6 21.9 202.4 10 Piedmont Alluvial Forest 76.2 38.9 283.3 8 Disturbed Piedmont Headwater Stream Forest AVG 33.3 20.3 161.9 6 Dominant canopy species across the site included honey locust (Gleditisia triacanthos), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), black walnut (Juglans nigra), red maple (Acer rubrum), boxelder (Acer negundo), white oak (Quercus alba), willow oak (Quercus phellos), and sugarberry (Celtis laevigate). Sub - canopy species included eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), winged elm (Ulmus alata), flowering dogwood (Cornus florida), eastern redbud (Cercis canadensis), musclewood (Carpinus caroliniana), and sawtooth blackberry (Rubus argutus). Invasive species were also found within the vegetation survey plots and in the vicinity of the site, including: Bradford pear (Pyrus calleryana), Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora), and Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica). 3.3 Land Use — Historic, Current, and Future Historic aerial imagery indicates that the Project and adjacent Scout Mitigation Bank has been used extensively for agricultural purposes, and that the location of the streams has not changed in over 50 years (Figure 6). The agricultural footprint shows minimal change over this time. The area remains in an agricultural community with some neighboring forested property. Several watershed characteristics, such as groundwater, vegetation, surface drainage, and potentially soil parameters have been modified. Soil structure and surface texture have been altered from intensive agricultural operations. Mockingbird Mitigation Plan 6 November 2018 Project #100021 The Project and adjacent Scout Mitigation Bank is currently still in agricultural use, and is being used as pasture for cattle. Livestock have full access to the project reaches, and these reaches remain heavily impacted. The tributaries to Hauser Creek now have sparse canopy cover, but livestock impact to the understory remains. Outside the Project area is also still in agricultural use and remains partially forested. The downstream end of the Project connects to the DMS Hauser Creek Mitigation Site, north of Spillman Road. The DMS Hauser Creek Mitigation Site closed out in 2017 and is now in NCDEQ stewardship. The future land use for the Project and adjacent Scout Mitigation Bank will include 40.68 acres of conservation easement, that will be protected in perpetuity. The combined conservation easements, including the Hauser Creek Mitigation Site, encompass 49.79 acres and 14,605 linear feet of high functioning streams, a minimum 50 -foot riparian buffer, and will exclude livestock with fencing or livestock removal. A combination of agricultural BMPs will be used on site; riparian buffer planting, bank stabilization, stream restoration, livestock exclusions, and livestock watering facilities. This combination of BMPs will ultimately lead to the functional uplift of the site by minimizing sedimentation, nutrient input, and fecal coliform input from ongoing livestock and agricultural production outside of the conservation easement. Additionally, installation of two sediment traps will regulate upstream runoff coming into TP2 and TP3. 3.4 Regulatory Considerations Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)/ Hydrologic Trespass The Project includes a mapped FEMA 100 -year floodplain (1% annual chance of flooding) present on seven of the proposed reaches (HCI, JS1, NMI, NM2, NM3, NM4, & NM5) (Figure 7). The design and permitting of the mitigation work will include coordination with the Davie County Floodplain Administrator and permitting a FEMA No -Rise Certification or CLOMR/LOMR. Hydraulic modeling will be required to determine that restoration activities will have no effect on 100 -year flood elevations downstream. No hydrologic trespass will be permitted to adjacent properties upstream or downstream of the Project. Environmental Screening and Documentation To ensure that a project meets the "Categorical Exclusion" criteria, the Federal Highways Administration (FHWA) and DMS have developed a categorical exclusion (CE) checklist that is included as part of each mitigation project's Environmental Resources Technical Report (ERTR). The approved CE Form for the Mockingbird Project is included in Appendix K and was approved by DMS and FHWA in December 2017. Threatened and Endangered Species Plants and animals with a federal classification of endangered or threatened are protected under provisions of Sections 7 and 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. The USFWS database (2017) lists two endangered species that may occur in proximity to the Project: Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxii) and Northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis). Species and species habitat listed in the USFWS database were inspected during the field investigation to determine whether they occur at the Project. No individual species or habitats were identified on site. Potential impacts to species and species habitat off site, downstream, and within the vicinity of the Project were also considered. A letter was sent to the USFWS on October 20, 2017 requesting review and comment of possible issues with respect to threatened and endangered species on the Project. USFWS responded on November 20, 2017 and stated that besides the Northern long-eared bat (NLEB), there is no record of other federally protected species in the project vicinity. Incidental take of the NLEB is exempt, but the USFWS encourages to avoid tree cutting from May 15 — August 15 if possible. Documentation of this correspondence is included in Appendix K. Mockingbird Mitigation Plan 7 November 2018 Project #100021 To comply with the NLEB 4(d) streamlined rule for federal agencies, the required consultation form was submitted by the FHWA to the USFWS as part of the CE process for DMS projects. Federally protected species met the Categorical Exclusion Criteria for FHWA and DMS projects and documentation is included in Appendix K. The Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act requires consultation with state fish and wildlife agencies when "waters of any stream or other body of water are proposed or authorized, permitted or licensed to be impounded, diverted ... or otherwise controlled or modified." A letter was sent to the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) on October 20, 2017 requesting review and comment of possible issues with respect to fish and wildlife resources on the Project. A response was received on December 01, 2017 and NCWRC indicated that there are no records for any listed aquatic species in the vicinity of this Project. Documentation is included in Appendix K. Cultural Resources A letter was sent to the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources, State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), on October 20, 2017. The letter described the Project and requested a review and comment of potential cultural resources occurring within the vicinity of the Project. SHPO responded on November 3, 2017 stating that there will be no effect on historic resources. Documentation of this correspondence is found in Appendix K. Cultural Resources met the Categorical Exclusion Criteria for FHWA and DMS projects and documentation is included in Appendix K. Table 6. Regulatory Considerations Regulation Applicable? Resolved?

The easement areas are separated by 4,500 feet of Hauser Creek; however, over 2,500 feet of that separation is the proposed Scout Mitigation Bank, which connects to the upstream end of the north Mockingbird easement area. There are eight easement breaks on the Project along reaches HCl, HC2-B, HC2-C/D, NM2, and above reaches HC2-A, NM3, NM4, and TP2. The Project is split into 13 reaches based on proposed treatment type (Figure 10, Figure 10a, and Figure 10b). Results of the preliminary data collections are presented in Table 7. In general, all or portions of the Project reaches, except Reach HC2-D, do not function to their full potential. Current conditions demonstrate significant habitat degradation due to impacts from agriculture, livestock production, and lack of riparian buffer. Being heavily eroded and incised, some of the streams do not access their floodplains as frequently as they naturally would have prior to agricultural operations. In many cases, the riparian buffer is in poor condition where much of the riparian buffer is devoid of trees or shrubs and row crops are present up to the edge of the existing channel. Habitat along the much of the restoration Mockingbird Mitigation Plan 8 November 2018 Project #100021 reaches is poor in that there is little woody debris or overhanging vegetation for fish cover or protection for other aquatic species. Reach HC2-D is functioning at a moderate level. While the channel has been impacted by heavy sediment and nutrient loads, the riparian buffer is in good condition and livestock have been historically excluded from the reach.

The reach is contiguous to the DMS Hauser Creek Project that begins just downstream of Spillman Road. This incised channel has been historically straightened, has a slope of less than one percent, and flows through a broad alluvial valley. The buffers are impacted with active pastures within the eastern riparian areas and agricultural fields to the west. Reach NMI Reach NMI is a headwater system that flows in a westerly direction into the upper third of Reach HC 1. The majority of the riparian buffer is forested; however, while the reach is stable, the downstream section is oversized and has been historically ditched. Reach NM2 Reach NM2 is an incised gravel and cobble bed stream that flows northeast through an agricultural crossing before meeting at a confluence with HC 1. There is a low to moderate sediment load and a channel slope of less than one percent. The valley transitions from a width of approximately 50 feet just upstream of the project boundary to a broader alluvial valley that ties into the western floodplain of HC 1. Reach NM3 Reach NM3 is an incised sand/gravel bed stream with a relatively low sediment load and a channel slope of one percent to two percent. The channel is relatively stable and has historically been channelized and ditched. The channel flows in an easterly direction through an active agricultural field down to Reach HC 1. Reach NM4 Reach NM4 is a headwater system that flows in an easterly direction into the downstream end of Reach HC 1. The downstream section of the channel has been historically ditched and is oversized. The buffers are comprised of pasture grasses with some woody vegetation along the banks at the confluence with HC 1. Reach NM5 Reach NM5 is a headwater system that flows in a westerly direction into the downstream end of Reach HC 1. The channel has been historically ditched and no longer has proper bedform or structure. The buffers are compromised by livestock access and vegetation is sparse. Moving upstream from the confluence, the channel becomes decreasingly defined until is it lost altogether towards the edge of the pasture and upland tree line. Reach JS1 Reach JS is an incised sand/gravel/cobble bed stream with a moderate sediment load and a channel slope of less than one percent. The channel exhibits irregular banks and moderate erosion as the reach is actively impacted by cattle. The channel flows to the west, through a pasture with no riparian buffer, down to the confluence with the DMS Hauser Creek Project. Mockingbird Mitigation Plan 10 November 2018 Project #100021 Reach HC2 (Hauser Creek) Reach HC2-A at the upstream end is a slightly oversized and stable, cobble bed stream that flows in a northerly direction. The bed profile appears stable and is controlled by root grade controls, boulder outcrops and cobble riffles. The channel appears to be managing its low sediment load and the banks exhibit little to no erosion. The riparian buffer is fully intact along the right bank; while widths vary from 15 to 30 feet along the left. An active cattle pasture is adjacent to the channel along the west side, and cattle have access to the channel throughout the reach. Further down the reach after the proposed easement break, it is gravel/cobble stream. The channel is slightly incised in some areas and exhibits irregular banks due to cattle access and hoof shear. The riparian buffer is in fair condition with much of the buffer being intact and wooded; however, there are areas of invasive species (privet). Jurisdictional wetlands are in the floodplain of this reach; WC is approximately 0. 13 acres in size (upstream end and right bank), WE is approximately 0.36 acres in size with 0.26 acres in the proposed easement (downstream and right bank), WF is approximately 0.05 acres in size (downstream and left bank), and WG is approximately 0.23 acres in size (downstream and right bank). Reach HC2-13 is a sand/gravel/cobble stream that flows in a northerly direction between Reaches HC2-A and HC2-C. The channel is incised, has irregular banks due to cattle access and exhibits little bedform diversity. Livestock have direct access to the channel, and the resulting hoof shear has severely degraded the channel banks. The riparian buffer is in poor condition being comprised of an active pasture with some mature trees located along the top of banks. Jurisdictional wetlands are located in the floodplain on the right bank; WH is approximately 0.75 acres in size with 0.59 acres being in the proposed easement. Reach HC2-C is a sand/gravel/cobble stream that flows in a northerly direction between Reaches HC2-13 and HC2-D. The channel is incised, has irregular banks due to cattle access and exhibits little bedform diversity. Livestock have direct access to the channel, and the resulting hoof shear has severely degraded the channel banks. The riparian buffer is in poor condition being comprised of an active pasture with some mature trees located along the top of banks. Reach HC2-D is a slightly incised, gravel/cobble bed stream that flows in a northerly direction. The bed profile appears stable and is controlled by cobble riffles. The channel appears to be managing its moderate sediment load and the banks are generally stable with some areas of localized erosion and cut banks along some meander bends. The riparian buffer is in good condition and comprised of mature forest with few invasive species present. Reach TPI Reach TPI is a slightly oversized gravel/cobble bed stream with a low sediment load and channel slopes ranging from one to three percent. The channel appears to be managing its low sediment load and the banks exhibit little to no erosion. The riparian buffer is fully intact throughout and comprised of hardwoods and little understory. Cattle have direct access to the channel and buffers throughout the reach. Reach TP2 Reach TP2 is a channelized ditch that flows to the west into the upstream end of Reach HC2-13. The channel is oversized, and incision increases as the channel approaches the confluence with reach HC2-13. The riparian buffer is in poor condition and is primarily comprised of pasture grasses. Livestock have direct access to the channel and associated buffers. Jurisdictional wetlands are in the floodplain of the left bank; WB is approximately 0.08 acres in size. Reach TP3 Reach TP3, a historically ditched channel, flows southwest through an active pasture and into the downstream end of Reach HC2-C. Channel incision increases as the channel approaches the confluence with reach HC2-C. The channel exhibits localized areas of minor erosion and the streambed is comprised Mockingbird Mitigation Plan 11 November 2018 Project #100021 of gravel and sand. The riparian buffer is in poor condition due to cattle access and is a mix of pasture grasses and some hardwoods, and shrubby vegetation along the top of banks. The reach originates in Wetland WA (0.83 acres with 0.26 acres in easement), which extends beyond the easement boundary and is also heavily impacted by cattle access. Channel Stability Assessment A modified version of the channel stability assessment method (CSA) provided in "Assessing Stream Channel Stability at Bridges in Physiographic Regions" by Johnson (2006) was used to assess channel stability for the Project's existing channels. This method may be rapidly applied on a variety of stream types in different physiographic regions having a range of bed and bank materials. The original channel assessment method was designed to evaluate 13 stability indicators in the field. These parameters are: watershed characteristics (frequency of watershed disturbances such as agricultural activities, urbanization, etc.), flow habit, channel pattern, entrenchment/channel confinement, bed material, bar development, presence of obstructions/debris jams, bank soil texture and coherence, average bank angle, bank vegetation/protection, bank cutting, mass wasting/bank failure, and upstream distance to bridge. See Appendix B for a detailed description of the stability indicators. As this method was initially developed to assess stability at bridges, a few minor adjustments were made to remove indicators that contradict stability characteristics of natural channels in favor of providing hydraulic efficiency at bridges. First, the "channel pattern" indicator was altered such that naturally meandering channels scored low as opposed to straightened/engineered channels that are favorable for stability near bridges. Secondly, the last indicator, "upstream distance to bridge", was removed from the assessment as bridges are not a focus of channel stability for this project. The 12 indicators were then scored in the field, and a rating of excellent, good, fair, or poor was assigned to each project reach based on the total score. The channel assessment results (scores and ratings) for the Project are provided in Table 9. Seven of the fourteen project stream reaches received "Fair" ratings, while five reaches received "Good" ratings. Reach HC2-A received an "Excellent" rating, and Reach HC 1 received a "Poor" rating. Most Project streams were observed to have relatively high bank angles and many were found to be actively eroding. All of the channels have been impacted by farming practices or livestock production, and most are slightly entrenched. These characteristics are reflected in the higher channel assessment scores for average bank angle and bank vegetation/protection. Most reaches also scored poorly for watershed characteristics since the surrounding land use is dominated by agriculture activities.

Wetland boundaries were delineated using current methodology outlined in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory 1987). Soils were characterized and classified using the Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States, Version 7.0 (USDA-NRCS 2010). Within the boundaries of the proposed Project, seven jurisdictional wetlands are present. Wetland A (WA) forms above the origin of Reach TP3, continuing outside of the easement boundary. Wetland B (WB) is a small riparian wetland on the left bank of Reach TP2. Wetland C (WC) occurs at the top of HC2-A and continues partially outside of the easement. Wetland E (WE) occurs along the right bank floodplain of HC2-A and extends into the surrounding pasture outside of the easement boundary. Wetland F (WF) is a small oxbow -type wetland that occurs on the bank of HC2-C, opposite of WE. Wetland G (WG) occurs on the right bank of HC2-C, upstream of WE. Wetland H (WH) is a large wetland near the confluence of HC2-13 and TP3, extending beyond the easement boundary (Figure 8 & Table 10). Livestock have full access to all on-site wetlands. Vegetation within the wetland areas is made up of black willow (Salix nigra), green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), winged elm (Ulmus alata), red cedar, blackberry, multiflora rose, common rush (Juncus effusus), broom sedge (Carex scoparia), tearthumb (Persicaria sagittata), dogfennel (Eupatorium capillifolium), Pennsylvania smartweed (Persicaria pensylvanica), and tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea). Outside of the easement and wetland areas, cattle are actively managed for, and fescue is the predominant forage. A preliminary jurisdictional determination (PJD) request was sent to the USACE on October 27, 2017 and a final PJD was received on March 26, 2018. Wetland forms are included in Appendix I. The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetland Inventory Map (NWI) does not depict any additional wetland areas within the Project (Figure 9).

The Framework separates stream functions into five categories, ordered into a hierarchy, which communicate the interrelations among functions and illustrate the dependence of higher level functions (biology, physiochemical and geomorpholgy) on lower level functions (hydrology and hydraulics). Functions that affect the greatest number of other functions are illustrated at the base of the Pyramid, while functions that have the least effect on other functions are illustrated at the top. The Pyramid is illustrated below Chart 1. Stream Functions Pyramid A Guide for Assessing & Restoring Stream Functions » :lifavifYv Chart 1. Stream Functions Framework •eate diverse Gad through sediments wdarmar4slleawm ehanmrpm FN StreamMethanies Fischenich (2006) found that the most critical functions include those that address hydrodynamic processes, sediment transport processes, stream stability and riparian buffer restoration. By addressing these fundamental functions and processes, a restored stream and riparian system are capable of supporting more dependent functions that typically require time to establish, such as diverse biological communities, chemical and nutrient processes, diverse habitats and improved water and soil quality. The objectives of this Project will address the most critical functional objectives that will allow for a more restored stream and riparian over time. While traditional mitigation approaches have generally relied on surrogate measures of success (i.e. linear feet of restoration) for determining SMU credit yields, a function -based approach provides a more objective and flexible approach to quantify the expected ecological benefits of a mitigation design. Additionally, a Mockingbird Mitigation Plan 19 November 2018 Project #100021 functional based approach broadens the reach -scale goals of a restoration project by contextualizing the functional uplift to the watershed scale. The proposed Project will provide numerous ecological and water quality benefits within the Yadkin River Basin by applying an ecosystem restoration approach. The restoration approach at the reach scale of this Project will have the greatest effect on the hydraulic and geomorphology function of the system but will benefit the upper-level functions (physiochemical and biology) over time and in combination with other Projects within the watershed. Anticipated functional benefits and improvements within the Project area, as based on the Function -Based Framework are outlined in Table 10. Neither the Stream Functions Pyramid nor the Quantification Tool are proposed to determine success of the mitigation site. 4.1 Anticipated Functional Benefits and Improvements Hydrology According to the Stream Functions Pyramid Framework, hydrology is defined as the transport of water from the watershed to the channel. Therefore, the Project intends to make significant improvements to the already functioning hydrology. Much of the improvement will come from altering land use within these reaches' small catchment areas. By converting land use for a significant percentage of the catchment area from pasture to riparian forest, curve numbers will decrease and reach runoff will improve. Additionally, installation of two sediment traps will regulate upstream runoff coming into TP2 and TP3. Hydraulic The hydraulic function of the Pyramid is defined as transport of water in the channel, on the floodplain, and through sediments. Perhaps the greatest potential uplift at the Project will be achieved through establishing healthy floodplain connectivity. Reaches in the Project do not have functioning floodplain connectivity or stable flow dynamics. Reaches where floodplain connectivity is not -functioning or functioning -at -risk will be improved to functioning by reducing bank height ratios and increasing entrenchment ratios. Reaches in which stable flow dynamics are not -functioning or functioning -at -risk will be improved to functioning by constructing a new channel that is geometrically stable based on the Project's hydrology inputs. Additionally, instream structures will be installed to address the energy and erosive power of the water so that a stable base flow is achieved post -project. Geomorphology Geomorphology, as defined within the Pyramid Framework, is the transport of wood and sediment to create bed forms and dynamic equilibrium. Sediment transport will be improved in reaches that currently function - at -risk or not -functioning by designing channels on restoration reaches that are sinuous and sized so that water velocities are maintained in a stable manor that allows for sediment to move efficiently through the system. Large Woody Debris Transport and Storage will be improved through the addition of woody debris to the system by installing in -stream structures on restoration reaches such as log vanes, root wads, log weirs, and log toes. Some of these woody structures will also deliver functional uplift by providing aquatic habitat. The restoration reaches are also designed to accumulate woody debris by having defined shallow riffles where cobble catches and holds woody debris and leaf packs. In reaches proposed for restoration, lateral stability is not functioning. To achieve functioning lateral stability, sinuous channels will be constructed with grade -control structures, graded banks, and live -stake planted banks that will significantly reduce erosion rates compared to existing conditions. Existing riparian vegetation is either functioning -at - risk or not -functioning in Project reaches. Therefore, riparian buffers will be planted out to a minimum of 50 feet to improve the riparian vegetation to functioning levels, while also providing terrestrial habitat. Bed form diversity will be improved in restoration reaches by designing natural riffle -pool sequences in constructed channels based on reference reach conditions. This bed form diversity will also further improve aquatic habitat. All of these functional parameters are interconnected and ultimately depend on each other Mockingbird Mitigation Plan 20 November 2018 Project #100021 in order to function properly. Therefore, by focusing improvements to these parameters, the restored channels will achieve dynamic equilibrium and provide maximum geomorphic functional uplift. Physiochemical The Pyramid Framework defines the physicochemical category as temperature and oxygen regulation and the processing of organic matter and nutrients. Although this project would support the overarching goal in the Yadkin Pee -Dee River Basin Priorities to promote nutrient and sediment reduction in agricultural areas, it is difficult to measure nutrient and sediment reduction at this project level because they can be affected by so many variables. However, several restoration actions are known to help reduce nutrients and sediment even though they may not be measurable at the project level. These activities include filtering of runoff through buffer areas, the conversion of active farm fields to forested buffers, and improved denitrification and nutrient uptake through buffer zones. Additional benefits may also come from functional uplift of the lower level stream functions (hydraulics and geomorphology), which will reduce sediment and nutrients in the system through bank stabilization and reforesting. Temperature regulation will also be improved through the restoration of canopy tree species to the stream buffer areas. Oxygen regulation will occur through two actions: first, the temperature of the water directly impacts the amount of gas held by the water. Therefore, through planting the buffer to shade the channel the temperature is decreased dissolved oxygen is increased. Second, the log structures placed in the stream create mixing zones where oxygen dissolves much faster than the standard exchange rate of oxygen to dissolved oxygen. The processing of organic matter will be improved once healthy riffles are shallow enough to catch twigs and branches that then retain leaves. Many of these physiochemical benefits occur slowly over time and are dependent on multiple variables within the stream ecosystem. Therefore, it is not practical or feasible to directly measure these parameters within the monitoring time -frame of this project. With that said, it is logical to use existing riparian buffer and visual performance standards to demonstrate the positive correlation between geomorphic parameters and physicochemical parameters. For example, as riparian buffer trees grow, as represented in annual monitoring reports, it is anticipated that canopy cover is actively shading the stream channel and reducing water temperature. This is not a substitute for direct physicochemical monitoring, but it is a useful tool to help project the long-term benefits of the Project in terms of its functional uplift. Biology The highest category of the Pyramid is biology and is defined as the biodiversity and life histories of aquatic and terrestrial life, specifically referring to animals. As mentioned for the physiochemical stream function, it will be difficult to measure the functional uplift of the biological functions at this site within the monitoring period of the project. However, since the life histories of many species likely to benefit from stream and wetland restoration are depending on all the lower -level functions, the functional uplift from the hydraulic and geomorphic levels would have a positive effect to the biology over time and in combination with other projects within the watershed is anticipated. Again, there is no substitute for direct biological monitoring, but it is important to understand the hierarchy of the Stream Functions Pyramid Framework in order to help project long-term benefits of the Project though only categories two and three (hydraulics and geomorphology) will be directly measured during the seven-year monitoring period. 4,2 Potential Constraints The Project restoration reaches will primarily be Priority I restoration, but the upper portion of reach NM2 will be Priority II due to elevation constraints coupled with low valley slope. The Priority II restoration will comply with IRT and DMS design guidelines regarding bench width, soil stockpiling, and valley planform. The downstream end of the Hauser Creek restoration must tie-in with the existing DOT culvert elevation and downstream legacy project. The downstream end of reach JS restoration must tie-in with the existing culvert which passes under a residential driveway. An existing barn on the right bank of the top of JS 1 will also be removed during construction. No overhead or underground easements conflict with the proposed Project. No General Aviation or Commercial airports are located within five miles of the proposed Project. Mockingbird Mitigation Plan 21 November 2018 Project #100021 The Project is located within five miles of two privately owned and operated airstrips. One privately owned public use air transport facility (Sugar Valley Airport) is located approximately four miles south of the Project. Construction access is not constrained throughout the Project area. While existing mature trees are generally not threatened, a tree survey has been conducted to design the mitigation measures and access to minimize impacts to significant specimen trees. Several existing stream crossings and fords will be either maintained or enhanced within proposed easement breaks. There are four planned crossings within the Project. These crossings will occur at easement breaks, and will allow landowners to continue current land -use and access as needed. One existing 40 -foot culvert crossing will be maintained in the north easement portion and one 40 -foot double culvert crossing will be constructed at the upstream end of reach HCI at the boundary with the Scout Mitigation Site. Two existing fords to be upgraded occur at the juncture of reaches HC2-B and HC2-C and on HC2-A. Both crossings on the southern easement portion will be 30 -foot crossings. All crossing and culvert maintenance will be the responsibility of RES through completion of monitoring. Once the Project has completed monitoring and the Project is closed out, the crossings and culverts will be the responsibility of the landowner(s). Mockingbird Mitigation Plan 22 November 2018 Project #100021 5 NUTIGATION PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES Through the comprehensive analysis of the Project's maximum functional uplift using the Stream Functions Pyramid Framework, specific, attainable goals and objectives will be realized by the Project. These goals clearly address the degraded water quality and nutrient input from farming that were identified as major watershed stressors in the 2009 Upper Yadkin Pee -Dee River RBRP. The Project will address outlined RBRP Goals 2, 3, 4, and 6 (listed in Section 2). The Project goals are: • Improve water transport from watershed to the channel in a non-erosive manner in a stable channel; • Improve flood flow attenuation on site and downstream by allowing for overbanks flows and connection to the active floodplain; • Improve instream habitat; • Restore and enhance native floodplain vegetation; • Indirectly support the goals of the 2009 Upper Yadkin Pee -Dee RBRP to improve water quality and to reduce sediment and nutrient loads; and • Protect Water Supply Watersheds (WSW). The Project objectives to address the goals are: • Design and reconstruct stream channels sized to convey bankfull flows that will maintain a stable dimension, profile, and planform based on modeling watershed conditions, and reference reach conditions; • Permanently exclude livestock from stream channels and their associated buffers; • Add in -stream structures and bank stabilization measures to protect restored and enhanced streams; • Install habitat features such as brush toes, constructed riffles, woody materials, and pools of varying depths to restored and enhanced streams; • Reduce bank height ratios and increase entrenchment ratios to reference reach conditions; • Increase forested riparian buffers to at least 50 feet on both sides of the channel along the Project reaches with a hardwood riparian plant community; • Implement two sediment traps in order to limit inputs of sediment, nutrients, and fecal coliform to streams from surrounding farming operations; • Treat exotic invasive species; and • Establish a permanent conservation easement on the Project. Anticipated functional uplift, benefits, and improvements within the Project area, as based on the Function Based Framework are outlined in Table 11. Limitations to achieving these watershed goals arise by remaining constrained to our project boundaries. While we are restoring habitat and streams to stable and effective conditions that achieve our goals within the project parcels, we are unable to influence the effect of poor riparian buffers and livestock impact in other areas within the watershed. However, through this Project's connectivity with other projects in the watershed and responsible stewardship of current restoration projects, overall watershed functionality and health will improve to meet the RBRP goals. Best Management Practices (BMPs) A suite of agricultural BMPs will be utilized for the Project to reduce direct effluent inputs, pollutant contamination, and sediment loading. The combination of the following agricultural BMPs: riparian buffer planting, bank stabilization, stream restoration, livestock exclusion, and livestock watering facilities will Mockingbird Mitigation Plan 23 November 2018 Project #100021 ultimately lead to the functional uplift of the site, while still allowing livestock production to persist through the installation of alternative water sources or relocation. The riparian buffer will be restored along all project reaches, except the preservation reaches. Restored riparian buffers are established adjacent to and up -gradient from watercourses of water bodies to improve water quality. The main advantages of the restored riparian buffer will be to provide water quality treatment, erosion control, and water temperature benefits. Moreover, there will be significant reductions in sedimentation, nutrient input, and fecal coliform input. Approximately 3,200 linear feet of livestock exclusion fencing will be installed along one easement boundary and other easement areas with current livestock will have the livestock removed permanently. Therefore, livestock will no longer have stream access and the conservation easement will permanently exclude them. To account for eliminating livestock water access, the landowner will be provided an alternate water source. A total of three watering facilities will be installed to provide high quality drinking water to livestock. Two sediment traps will be installed on TP2 and TP3. The structures will be installed within the conservation easement so that the structure is protected. Failure or maintenance of the structure is not anticipated as this structure will be installed in a low -gradient area, and the area proposed to diffuse flow will be well vegetated and matted. Stormwater management issues resulting from future development of adjacent properties will be governed by the applicable state and local ordinances and regulations. It is recommended that any future stormwater entering the Project maintain pre -development peak flow. Any future stormwater diverted into the project should be done in a manner as to prevent erosion, adverse conditions, or degradation of the project in any way.

Physical parameters of the Project were used, as well as other reference materials, to determine the target stream type. The "Classification of the Natural Communities of North Carolina" was also used to narrow the potential community types that would have existed at the Project (Schafale, 2012). An iterative process was used to develop the final information for the Project design. Targeted reference conditions included the following: • Located within the Physiographic Region and ecoregion, • Similar watershed size, • Similar land use on site and in the watershed, • Similar soil types on site and in the watershed, • Ideal, undisturbed habitat — several types of woody debris present, • Similar topography, • Similar slope, • Pattern common among Piedmont streams, and • Minimal presence of invasive species. Obtaining property owner information and owner authorization for access was another factor in locating suitable reference sites for the Project. There was no predetermined amount of reference sites needed as long as the site was suitable and met the parameters. Many streams in this watershed are impacted by cattle and agricultural practices, having a minimal riparian buffer, making it difficult to find an ideal reference for the Project site. Two reference streams were used for this Project. The reference reach used for Reach HCI is located north of the Mockingbird Site, across Spillman road, and connects to Hauser Creek. The other reference is part of an unnamed tributary (UT) to Grassy Creek in Union County, NC. This stream site is ideal in both geomorphology and size for the smaller reaches of Hauser Creek and its unnamed, first - order tributaries. Reference Watershed Characterization The first reference stream is an unnamed tributary to Hauser Creek that flows west to east and connects to Hauser Creek below the Hauser Creek Mitigation Site. The portion of this reference reach that was surveyed and analyzed is approximately 185 feet long. The drainage area for the reach is 0.11 square miles (70.4 acres). The second reference reach, UT to Grassy Creek, is located within the Yadkin Pee -Dee River Basin in Union County. This reach is 320 feet in length, with a drainage area of 0.67 square miles (427 acres). The land use in both watersheds is characterized by mostly agricultural, with mixed pines and hardwoods, and a small amount of residential. Reference Discharge Several hydrologic models/methods were used to develop a bankfull discharge for the reference site. Existing drainage area, land use, slope, roughness, and cross-sectional area were all factors considered when performing the calculations. Using a combination of Piedmont Regional Curves, in-house spreadsheet tools, and a project specific regional flood frequency analysis; the existing discharge for UT to Grassy Creek was calculated to be approximately 50 cubic feet per second (ft3/s). The existing bankfull discharge for the reference portion of UT to Hauser Creek was calculated to be approximately 7.6 cubic feet per second (ft3/s). See Section 6.2 for a more detailed description of the hydrologic analyses performed for this project. Mockingbird Mitigation Plan 26 November 2018 Project #100021 Reference Channel Morphology In comparison to the restoration reaches, both UT to Grassy Creek and the UT to Hauser Creek reaches are smaller than the designed restoration reaches when comparing pattern, dimension and profile, which is the reason for using a scaling factor for the design. The scaling factor is based on the difference in bankfull area of the reference channel. The designed reach would then have the necessary dimensions of either a smaller or larger stream corresponding to differences in drainage area. For UT to Hauser Creek, the reach was typically 5.2 feet wide and 0.6 feet deep. The cross sectional area was typically around 3.0 square feet with a width to depth ratio around 8.9. The UT to Grassy Creek was typically 13.6 feet wide and 1.4 feet deep. The cross sectional area was typically around 18.1 square feet with a width to depth ratio around 9.8 Reference Channel Stability Assessment Both reference reaches UT to Grassy Creek and UT to Hauser Creek are stable and show no evidence of incision or erosion in the portion that was surveyed and analyzed. The streams appear to maintain slope and have sufficient amounts of vegetation to secure the banks. Riparian buffer widths exceed 50 feet on each side. The reference reaches received a "Good" rating as the channels each demonstrate a stable meandering pattern and a well -vegetated riparian buffer. Reference Riparian Vegetation The UT to Grassy Creek reference reach riparian community is characteristic of a Mesic Mixed Hardwood Forest -Piedmont Subtype. This community is approximately 20 to 25 years old, as evidenced by the representative DBH measurements and historical aerial photography. Tree communities were categorized in 10 transects spanning both left and right banks of the channel. Dominant canopy species present include northern red oak (Quercus rubra), southern red oak (Quercus falcata), white oak (Quercus alba), water oak (Quercus nigra), shagbark hickory (Carya ovata), sweetgum, eastern redcedar, southern magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora), American holly (Ilex opaca), tulip -poplar, and longleaf pine (Pinus palustris). Percent coverage over the channel ranges from 70 to 90 percent with average DBH ranging from four to 12 inches. The UT to Hauser Creek reference reach riparian community is characteristic of a Piedmont Alluvial Forest. Basal areas for the plots were 12.5 M2 /hectare (ha) and 49.6M2 /ha and stems per acre was 81 for both plots. Dominant canopy species across the reference reach included sweetgum, tulip -poplar, American beech (Fagus grandifolia), pignut hickory (Carya glabra), eastern redcedar, green ash, red maple, and boxelder. Sub -canopy species included musclewood, sourwood (Oxydendron arboreum), and sawtooth blackberry. Invasive species were also found within the vegetation survey plots and in the vicinity of the reach, including: multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora), and Japanese honeysuckle. Non-native species included Japanese stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum), common chickweed (Stellaria media), buttercup, wooly mullein (Verbascum thapsus), and onion grass (Allium vineale). It is anticipated that a local seed source for high dispersal species is present upstream at the Project and will disperse across much of the Project area. These species are often found in early successional communities and quickly fill disturbance gaps. Because many of these high dispersal species often become aggressive in these sites, they are not included in the Restoration Planting List (Section 6.3). Hardwood species typical of the target community were observed in adjacent and nearby communities, and were judged to be more appropriate for this site. Mockingbird Mitigation Plan 27 November 2018 Project #100021 6.2 Design Parameters Stream Restoration Approach Stream restoration efforts along the tributaries of the Project will be accomplished through analyses of geomorphic conditions and watershed characteristics. The design approach applies a combination of analytical and reference reach based design methods that meet objectives commensurate with both ecological and geomorphic improvements. Proposed treatment activities may range from minor bank grading and planting to re-establishing stable planform and hydraulic geometry. For reaches requiring full restoration, natural design concepts have been applied and verified through rigorous engineering analyses and modeling. The objective of this approach is to design a geomorphically stable channel that provides habitat improvements and ties into the existing landscape. The Project will include Priority I Restoration, Priority II Restoration, Enhancement Levels I and II, and Preservation. Stream restoration will incorporate the design of a single -thread meandering channel, with parameters based on data taken from reference sites, published empirical relationships, regional curves developed from existing project streams, and NC Regional Curves. Analytical design techniques will also be a crucial element of the project and will be used to determine the design discharge and to verify the design as a whole. Conceptual plan views are provided in Figure 10. Current stream conditions along the proposed restoration reaches exhibit habitat degradation as a result of impacts from livestock and channelization performed to promote agricultural activities. Additionally, the riparian buffer is in poor condition throughout most of the Project area, where much of it is devoid of trees or shrubs, and active pasture is present up to the edge of the existing channel. The Project design approach began with a thorough study of existing conditions, including the on-site streams, valleys, and watershed. Design parameters, including active channel, habitat and floodplain features were developed from analyses performed on the reference site data. Analytical design techniques were used to determine the design discharge and to verify the design as a whole. Engineering analysis will be performed using various hydrologic and hydraulic models to verify the reference reach based design. A combination of methods will be used to estimate bankfull flows, and flows corresponding to other significant storm events. A HEC -RAS model will then be used to simulate water surface elevations of flows generated by the hydrologic analysis. The development of the HEC model is an important component to the design; therefore, model input parameters are field verified when possible. Through this hydrologic analysis, the design discharge (typically referenced as bankfull or dominant discharge) will be determined. The subsequent design will be based on this calculated discharge. As part of the design process, a qualitative analysis of sediment supply will be performed by characterizing watershed conditions. A combination of windshield surveys, existing land use data, and historical aerial photography, followed up by ground truthing, will be analyzed to assess existing and past watershed conditions and to determine if any changes occurred that would significantly impact sediment supply. Design parameters developed through the analyses of reference reach data, watershed characterizations, and hydrologic and hydraulic modeling will be confirmed using the Stable Channel Design function and/or the Sediment Transport Analysis components within HEC -RAS in conjunction with shear stress and velocity analyses. Geomorphic and habitat studies will be performed concurrently with the engineering analyses. While stream design will be verified by simulations of hydrology and fluvial processes, analogs of desirable habitat features will be derived from reference sites and integrated into the project design. Both in -stream and riparian habitat features will be designed. In -stream structures will be used throughout the project to act as grade control and for bank stabilization by dissipating and redirecting the stream's energy. Bank Mockingbird Mitigation Plan 28 November 2018 Project #100021 stability may further be enhanced through the installation of brush mattresses, live stakes and cuttings bundles. Sections of abandoned stream channel will be backfilled with material excavated from onsite to the elevation of the floodplain in areas adjacent to the new channel, installing channel plugs where necessary. Due to the Priority II approach on some reaches, excess cut material is expected. RES has performed a preliminary quantity estimate and has developed an onsite disposal plan that will satisfy landowner requirements. The floodplain will be planted with native species creating a vegetated buffer, which will provide numerous water quality and ecological benefits. Stream banks will be stabilized using a combination of grading, erosion control matting, bare -root plantings, native material revetment techniques (i.e., bioengineering), structure placement, and sod transplants where possible. The stream and adjacent riparian areas will be protected by a minimum 50 -foot conservation easement which will be fenced to exclude livestock as needed. In conjunction with the stream restoration, adjacent wetland hydrology will be enhanced through raising the channel bed. No wetland mitigation credits will be generated from the enhancement of these wetland areas; however, the enhancement and protection of these currently degraded wetlands will store excess water during flood events, prevent erosion of stream banks, and reduce in -stream sedimentation and nutrients. The Project has been broken into the following design reaches: Reach HC1— Reach HC 1 begins at the upstream end of the northern portion of the project and at the downstream limits of the proposed Scout Mitigation Bank. A 40 -foot easement break is proposed between the two projects that will coincide with a culvert crossing and include 24 LF of 48 -inch double barrel RCP. The reach totals 2,083 LF of Priority I Restoration to address historic channelization and livestock impacts. Priority I Restoration provides higher functional uplift and less risk of failure when connected to the restoration on upstream Reach HC3. The left bank is crop land while the right bank is active pasture, contributing to significant disturbance on both banks. Restoration activities will include constructing a new channel within the natural valley with appropriate dimensions and pattern, adding channel plugs where necessary and backfilling the abandoned channel. Backfilling the abandoned stream channel presents an opportunity to create wetlands in the ephemeral pool areas. In -stream structures such as log sills, brush toes, rock cross vanes, and rock/wood constructed riffles will be installed for channel stability and to improve habitat. A minimum 50 -foot buffer is proposed along each side of the channel. Buffer activities will improve riparian areas that will filter runoff from adjacent pastures, thereby reducing nutrient and sediment loads to the channel. Reach NMI — Historically channelized reach NMI begins at the ephemeral/intermittent break on the right bank near the top of HC 1 and flows west to a confluence with HC 1. Active pasture surrounds this reach. The reach totals 229 linear feet of Enhancement II, and enhancement activities will include buffer plantings and the treatment of invasive species. This reach treatment ends at the farm path. Reach NM2 — Reach NM2 begins on the west side of Reach HC 1 and flows east to the confluence with HCI near it's midpoint. The reach totals 637 linear feet of Priority I Restoration and 731 Priority II Restoration. Due to elevation and slope constraints, Priority II Restoration will be utilized at the top of the reach, blending into Priority I as it nears the HCI floodplain. Active crop land surrounds this reach as well as limited cattle exposure. A 40 -foot easement break is proposed for a culvert crossing where an existing 72 -inch CMP will be removed and replaced with 24 LF of a double barrel 48 -inch RCP. Restoration activities will include constructing a new channel within the natural valley with appropriate dimensions and pattern, adding channel plugs where necessary and backfilling the abandoned channel. In -stream structures such as log sills, brush toes, log cross vanes, and rock/wood constructed riffles will be installed for channel stability and to improve habitat. A minimum 50 -foot buffer will be maintained Mockingbird Mitigation Plan 29 November 2018 Project #100021 along on each side of the channel. Buffer activities will improve riparian areas that will filter runoff from adjacent fields, thereby reducing nutrient and sediment loads to the channel. Reach NM3 — Reach NM3 begins at a culvert on the west side of Reach HC 1, near the downstream end of the Project, and flows east to a confluence with HCl. The reach totals 280 LF of Priority I Restoration to address historic channelization and excess deposition due to agricultural practices. The incised reach is surrounded by active fields of row crops and lacks a protective buffer. Restoration activities will include constructing a new channel with appropriate dimensions and pattern, adding channel plugs where necessary and backfilling the abandoned channel. In -stream structures such as log sills, brush toes, rock cross vanes, and constructed riffles will be installed for channel stability and to improve habitat. A minimum of 50 feet of buffer on each side of the channel is proposed. Buffer activities will improve riparian areas that will filter runoff from adjacent fields, reducing nutrient and sediment loads to the channel. Reach NM4 — NM4 is a headwater reach that forms from the hills on the east side of HC 1 near the downstream portion of the Project. Active pasture surrounds this reach. This reach totals 253 LF of Enhancement II. Treatment includes removing an existing crossing at a 15 -inch RCP, establishing a minimum 50 -foot riparian buffer, and instream structures such as rock cross vane and log sills to provide channel stability. Reach NM5 — NM5 is a headwater reach that forms within the eastern floodplain of Reach HC 1, just upstream of Reach NM4, and flows west to a confluence with HC 1. Realignment of Reach HCI will displace the majority of NM5 due to plugging this channel at its confluence with the existing HC 1 and filling in that abandoned channel. A small portion of intermittent channel will be protected within the easement, but will receive no credit. Active pasture surrounds this reach. Reach JS1 — Reach JS1 begins in an active pasture, north of Spillman Road, and flows east into the existing DMS Hauser Creek Mitigation Site that exists downstream from the Project. This incised reach totals 523 LF of Priority I Restoration to address historic channelization, livestock impacts and erosion. Restoration activities will include removing an existing ford, constructing a new channel within the natural valley, backfilling the abandoned channel, and reconnecting to the floodplain for frequent inundation. In -stream structures such as log sills, brush toes, log cross vanes, rock cross vanes, and constructed riffles will be installed for channel stability and to improve habitat. A minimum of 50 feet of buffer on each side of the channel is proposed. Buffer activities will improve riparian areas that will filter runoff from adjacent pastures, thereby reducing nutrient and sediment loads to the channel. The channel will tie back into the existing location in order to connect to the 72 -inch CMP under the landowner's gravel driveway. Reach HC2-A — Reach HC2-A begins at the upstream end of the Project (the southern portion of the project), and flows north to Reach HC2-B. The reach totals 2,018 linear feet of Enhancement II. Agricultural fields and bottomland hardwood forests are located adjacent to the reach. Enhancement activities will include the re-establishment of a riparian buffer along the channel (buffers will extend a minimum of 50 feet from the top of each bank) and invasive species treatment as needed. Buffer improvements will filter runoff from adjacent pastures, thereby reducing nutrient and sediment loads to the channel. Additional habitat improvements will be gained through livestock exclusion. A 31 -foot easement break is proposed to maintain an existing ford crossing within the bottom third of this reach. Reach HC2-B — Reach HC2-B begins immediately downstream of Reach HC2-A and flows north to Reach HC2-C. The reach totals 595 LF of Priority I Restoration to address historic channelization and cattle exposure. The incised reach is surround by active pasture and the downstream portion is surrounded by disturbed bottomland hardwood forests and riparian wetlands. Restoration activities will Mockingbird Mitigation Plan 30 November 2018 Project #100021 include constructing a new channel within the natural valley with appropriate dimensions and pattern, adding channel plugs where necessary and backfilling the abandoned channel. In -stream structures such as log sills, brush toes, cross vanes, rock A -vanes, and constructed riffles will be installed for channel stability and to improve habitat. A minimum of 50 feet of buffer on each side of the channel is proposed. Buffer activities will improve riparian areas that will filter runoff from adjacent pastures, thereby reducing nutrient and sediment loads to the channel. Reach TP3 ties into HC2-B prior to a proposed 35 -foot easement break and ford crossing, before transitioning into Reach HC2-C. Also, the reach will be built through part of a jurisdictional wetland that is currently on the right bank floodplain and degraded from cattle access and pasture -use. While this project is not claiming any wetland credit, the raised channel bed should enhance the wetlands' hydrology by reconnecting the floodplain wetlands to the stream. Also, backfilling the abandoned stream channel presents an opportunity to create additional wetlands in the ephemeral pool areas. A gauge will be installed on the right floodplain to monitor the wetland hydrology and will be reported in the yearly monitoring reports. Reach HC2-C — This incised, degraded reach begins at the downstream end of HC2-B and flows north from a ford crossing to the upstream end of HC2-D. Although cattle have been historically excluded from this reach, upstream pasture activity and travel across the existing ford have resulted in bed and bank erosion and sedimentation. The reach totals 155 LF of Enhancement I, and enhancement activities will include laying back and/or benching the left bank and installing coir matting and live stakes to provide channel stabilization. Bottomland hardwoods are located adjacent to the reach. Reach HC2-D — Reach begins immediately downstream of Reach HC2-C and flows north to the downstream boundary of the southern portion of the easement. The reach totals 407 linear feet of preservation with minimum 50 -foot buffers. Bottomland hardwoods surround this reach. Reach TPI — Reach TPI begins on the east side of Reach HC2-A in headwater Piedmont forest, and flows west to a confluence with Reach HC 1-A. Lightly disturbed forest surrounds this reach. The reach totals 146 LF of Enhancement II, where cattle exclusion and supplemental planting of the riparian buffer is proposed. This reach treatment ends at the fence line. Reach TP2 - This channelized reach begins on the east side of Reach HC2-A, just downstream of the confluence of TPI with HC2-A, and flows southwest to a confluence with Hauser Creek. The reach totals 471 LF of Enhancement II. The reach is surrounded by active pasture and a small wetland occurs near the stream origin. Enhancement activities include reestablishing the riparian buffer with native vegetation and cattle exclusion. A sediment trap will be installed upstream of ephemeral/intermittent stream break to provide sediment and nutrient control from upland agricultural practices. Reach TP3 — This mildly incised, historically channelized reach begins to the east of Reach HC2-B and flows southwest to a confluence with HC2-B upstream of a proposed easement break. The reach totals 470 linear feet of Enhancement IL The reach is surrounding by active pasture and forms out of a headwater wetland. A sediment trap (made from woody debris and livestakes) is proposed at the upper end of the reach to provide sediment and nutrient control from upland agricultural practices. Design Methods There are three primary methods that have demonstrated success in stream restoration: analog, empirical, and analytical. All three methods have advantages and limitations, and it is often best to utilize more than one method to address site-specific conditions or to verify the applicability of design elements. This is particularly true in developed watersheds where existing conditions do not always reflect current inputs and events, and sediment and hydrologic inputs may remain unstable for some time. Combinations of analytical and analog methods were used to develop the stream designs for the Project. Mockingbird Mitigation Plan 31 November 2018 Project #100021 Analytical Approach Analytical design is based on principles and processes considered universal to all streams, and can entail many traditional engineering techniques. The analytical approach utilizes continuity, roughness equations, hydrologic and hydraulic models, and sediment transport functions to derive equilibrium conditions. Since the project is located within a rural watershed, restoration designs are based on hydrologic and hydraulic analyses, including rainfall -runoff models to determine design discharges coupled with reference reach techniques. Analog Approach The analog method of natural channel design involves the use of a "template" or reference stream located near the design reach, and is particularly useful when watershed and boundary conditions are similar between the design and analog reaches (Skidmore et al., 2001). In an analog approach, the planform pattern, cross sectional shape, longitudinal profile, and frequency and locations of woody debris along the analog reaches are mimicked when developing the design parameters for the subject stream. Empirical Approach Empirical design is based on regional mathematical relationships among measured channel variables. The flood frequency analysis and regional curve evaluation described above are examples of empirical design methods to select a range of channel forming discharges for a given watershed area. Typical Design Sections Typical cross sections for riffles and pools are shown on the design plan sheets in Appendix A. The cross- section dimensions were developed for the four design reaches by using an in-house spreadsheet described in Section 6.2 of this report. The cross sections were altered slightly to facilitate constructability; however, the cross sectional area, width to depth ratio, and side slopes were preserved. Typical pool sections include pools located on straight reaches and pools on meander bends. Meander Pattern The design plans showing the proposed channel alignment are provided in Appendix A. The meander pattern was derived directly from the analog reach and was altered in some locations to provide variability in pattern, to avoid on site constraints, to follow the valley pattern, and to make the channel more constructible. The morphologic parameters summarized in the Appendix B were applied wherever these deviations occurred. Longitudinal Profiles The design profiles are presented in Appendix A. These profiles extend throughout the entire project for the proposed channel alignment. The profiles were designed using the analog reach bed features that were sized with the scaling factors. The bed slopes and bankfull energy gradients were determined for each design reach based on the existing valley slope and the sinuosity of the design reach. Log structures will be utilized in the design to control grade, divert flows, and provide additional habitat diversity and stability. In -Stream Structures Structures will be incorporated into the channel design to provide additional stability and improve aquatic habitat. Native materials and vegetation will be used for revetments and grade control structures where applicable. Additionally, rock structures will be utilized intermittently along the restoration reaches to provide increased stability and habitat. Typical rock structures that will protect the channel bed and/or banks will include riffle grade controls and cross -vanes. Woody debris will be placed throughout the channel at locations and at a frequency that is similar to those observed in the analog reaches. Woody habitat features installed will include dead brush, root wads, brush toes, and log vanes. To provide additional bank stability, sod mats harvested onsite will be installed along Mockingbird Mitigation Plan 32 November 2018 Project #100021 stream banks during construction if and when feasible. Sod mats will only be harvested and used if comprised of appropriate vegetation. The use of sod mats that include aggressive turf grasses will be avoided. Sod mats are natural sections of vegetation taken from the banks when they were cut during construction, and are about nine inches thick. Before installation, proposed banks are graded lower than specified to accommodate the thickness of the mat. The mats are placed on top of the bank to act as a natural stabilizer of native species, and they grow much faster than the combination of coir fiber matting and seeding. Other bank stability measures include the installation of live stakes, log sills, brush toes, log vanes, and log toes. Typical details for proposed in -stream structures and revetments are in Appendix A. Data Analysis Stream Hydrologic Analysis Hydrologic evaluations were performed for the design reaches using multiple methods to determine and validate the design bankfull discharge and channel geometry required to provide regular floodplain inundation. The use of various methods allows for comparison of results and eliminates reliance on a single model. Peak flows (Table 12) and corresponding channel cross sectional areas were determined for comparison to design parameters using the following methods: • Regional Flood Frequency Analysis, • AutoCAD's Hydraflow Hydrographs, • NC and VA Regional Curves for the Rural Piedmont, and • USGS regional regression equations for rural conditions in the Blue Ridge -Piedmont. Regional Flood Frequence A flood frequency analysis was completed for the study region using historic gauge data on all nearby USGS gauges with drainage areas less than 6,400 acres (10 mit) which passed the Dalrymple homogeneity test (Dalrymple, 1960). This is a subset of gauges used for USGS regression equations. Regional flood frequency equations were developed for the 1.1-, 1.5-, and 2 -year peak discharges based on the gauge data. Discharges were then computed for the design reach. These discharges were compared to those predicted by the discharge regional curve and USGS regional regression 2 -year discharge equations. Regional Curve Regression Equations The North Carolina Piedmont regional curves by Harman et al. (1999) and Doll et al. (2002) and the Virginia Rural Piedmont regional curves by Lotspeich (2009) for discharge were used to predict the bankfull discharge for the Project. The NC regional curves predicted flows that are similar to those predicted by the 1.1 -year flood frequency, while the VA curves are much lower, closer to the flows predicted by the Hydraflow Hydrographs. The regional curve equations for NC discharges by Doll et al. (2002): (1) Qb� 89.04*(DA)0.73 (Harman et al., 1999) (2) Qb� 91.62*(DA)0.71 (Doll et al., 2002) (3) Qb� 43.895*(DA)o.9472 (Lotspeich, 2009) Where Qbxffbankfull discharge (ft3/s) and DA=drainage area (mi2). USGS Regional Regression Equations USGS regression equations estimate the magnitude and frequency of flood -peak discharges. The regression equations were developed from gauge data in different physiographic regions of the Southeastern United States. For this analysis, there was only concern for the 2 -year return interval. The equation for the rural Piedmont/Foothills (Hydrologic Region 1) (4) is: (4) Q2=158*(DA)0.649 (Weaver et al., 2009) Mockingbird Mitigation Plan 33 Project #100021 November 2018 Table 12.

The design discharge values are similar to the Hydraflow Hyrdograph outputs for the 1- and 2 -year storms at a 6 -hour duration. The design flows are all slightly higher than the Rational Method calculated flows. The selected flows, in cubic feet per second (cfs), for the restoration reaches are 145 for HCI, 43 for HC2-B, 40 for JS1, 50 for NM2 and 11 for reach NM3. These discharges will provide frequent inundation of the adjacent floodplain. Sediment Transport Analysis An erosion and sedimentation analysis was performed to confirm that the restoration design creates a stable gravel bed channel that neither aggrades nor degrades over time. Typically, sediment transport is assessed to determine a stream's ability to move a specific grain size at specified flows. Various sediment transport equations are applied when estimating entrainment for sand and gravel bed streams found in the Piedmont. The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) report, Stability Thresholds for Stream Restoration Materials (Fischenich, 2001), was used to obtain permissible shear stresses and velocities. Data found in this document was obtained from multiple sources using different testing conditions. The following methods and published documents were utilized during the sediment transport analysis: • Permissible Shear Stress Approach, and • Permissible Velocity Approach. Shear Stress Approach Shear stress is a commonly used tool for assessing channel stability. Allowable channel shear stresses are a function of bed slope, channel shape, flows, bed material (shape, size, and gradation), cohesiveness of bank materials, vegetative cover, and incoming sediment load. The shear stress approach compares calculated shear stresses to those found in the literature. Shear stress is the force exerted on a boundary during the resistance of motion as calculated using the following formula: (1) i = yRS T = shear stress (lbIW) y = specific gravity of water (62.4 lb/ft') R = hydraulic radius (ft) S = average channel slope (ft/ft) Mockingbird Mitigation Plan 34 November 2018 Project #100021 Table 13.

Therefore, the proposed channel should remain stable. Velocity Approach Published data are readily available that provide entrainment velocities for different bed and bank materials. A comparison of calculated velocities to these permissible velocities is a simple method to aid in the verification of channel stability. Table 14 compares the proposed velocities calculated using Manning's equation with the permissible velocities. Table 14.

A combination of field reconnaissance and windshield surveys, existing land use data, and historical aerial photography were analyzed to assess existing and past watershed conditions to determine if any changes occurred that would significantly impact sediment supply. As discussed in Section 3.3, the land use throughout the site has changed little since 1960. Much of the Project area has been used primarily for agricultural purposes over the past 60 years. Most of the existing stream channels are unforested. Land use has remained relatively constant within this rural watershed, and significant land disturbing activities are not anticipated for the future. There are several areas of instability and erosion along the channels, which appear to be a result of historic cattle activity and agricultural activities occurring up to and along channel banks and not from watershed activities. It is anticipated that sediment supply from agricultural land adjacent to the project will decrease Mockingbird Mitigation Plan 35 November 2018 Project #100021 as buffers are enhanced and widened, and flow from existing agricultural ditches will be diffused before entering the proposed channel. Since observed areas of degradation can be attributed to farming practices adjacent to the channel and watershed activities, a threshold channel design approach was used. This approach assumes minimal movement (vertical or lateral migration) of the channel boundary during design flow conditions, and that the channel is not sensitive to sediment supply. Additionally, grade controls have been integrated throughout the design to provide vertical stability in the event scour should occur. 63 Vegetation and Planting Plan Plant Community Restoration The restoration of the plant communities is an important aspect of the restoration Project. The selection of plant species is based on what was observed at the reference reach, species present in the forest surrounding the restoration Project, and what is typically native to the area. Several sources of information were used to determine the most appropriate species for the restoration project. While two reference streams were used during design, only UT to Hauser Creek is used as a vegetation community reference due to close proximity to the Project. A Piedmont Alluvial Forest will be the target community along Hauser Creek, JS 1, NMI, NM2, NM3, and NM4. A Piedmont Headwater Stream Forest will be the target community along HC2-A, TPI, TP2, and TP3. The target community will be used for the planting areas within the Project, shown in Appendix A. The plant species list has been developed and can be found in Table 15. Although there is one planting zone, certain targeted species will be planted in the appropriate target community location (Table 16). Species with high dispersal rates are not included because of local occurrence, adjacent seed sources, and the high potential for natural regeneration. The high dispersal species include red maple and sweetgum. The restoration of plant communities along the Project will provide stabilization and diversity. For rapid stabilization of the stream banks (primarily outside meanders), silky dogwood (Cornus amomum) and black willow (Salix nigra) were chosen for live stakes along the restored channel because of their rapid growth patterns and high success rates. Willows grow at a faster rate than the species planted around them, and they stabilize the stream banks. Willows will also be quicker to contribute organic matter to the channel. When the other species are bigger, the black willows will slowly stop growing or die out because the other species would outgrow them and create shade that the willows do not tolerate. The live stake species will be planted along the outside of the meander bends three feet from the top of bank, creating a three-foot section along the top of bank. The live stakes will be spaced one per linear foot with alternate spacing vertically. It is anticipated that the vegetation planting/replanting will be conducted between November 15 and March 15, per the October 2016 USACE/NCIRT monitoring guidance. If the Project completes construction after March 15, but before May 31, the site will be planted immediately following construction so that there is 180 days prior to the initiation of the first year of monitoring.

Invasive species will require different and multiple treatment methods, depending on plant phenology and the location of the species being treated. All treatment will be conducted as to maximize its effectiveness and reduce chances of detriment to surrounding native vegetation. Treatment methods will include mechanical (cutting with loppers, clippers, or chain saw) and chemical (foliar spray, cut stump, and hack and squirt techniques). Plants containing mature, viable seeds will be removed from the Project and properly disposed. All herbicide applicators will be supervised by a certified ground pesticide applicator with a North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (NCDA&CS) license and adhere to all legal and safety requirements according to herbicide labels, and NC and Federal laws. Management records will be kept on the plant species treated, type of treatment employed, type of herbicide used, application technique, and herbicide concentration and quantities used. These records will be included in all reporting documents. Soil Restoration After construction activities, the subsoil will be scarified and any compaction will be deep tilled before the topsoil is placed back over the Project. Any topsoil that is removed during construction will be stockpiled and placed over the Project during final soil preparation. This process should provide favorable soil conditions for plant growth. Rapid establishment of vegetation will provide natural stabilization for the Project. b.¢ Mitigation Summary Natural channel design techniques have been used to develop the restoration designs described in this document. The combination of the analog and analytical design methods was determined to be appropriate for this Project because the watershed is rural, the causes of disturbance are known and have been abated, and there are minimal infrastructure constraints. The original design parameters were developed from the Mockingbird Mitigation Plan 37 November 2018 Project #100021 measured analog/reference reach data and applied to the subject stream. The parameters were then analyzed and adjusted through an iterative process using analytical tools and numerical simulations of fluvial processes. The designs presented in this report provide for the restoration of natural Piedmont cobble/gravel-bed channel features and stream bed diversity to improve benthic habitat. The proposed design will allow flows that exceed the design bankfull stage to spread out over the floodplain. A large portion of the existing stream will be filled using material excavated from the restoration channel. However, many segments will be left partially filled to provide habitat diversity and flood storage. Native woody material will be installed throughout the restored reach to reduce bank stress, provide grade control, and increase habitat diversity. Forested riparian buffers of at least 50 feet on both sides of the channel will be established along the Project reaches. An appropriate riparian plant community (Piedmont Alluvial Forest along HCI, HC2-B/C, JS1, NMI, NM2, NM3, NM4; Piedmont Headwater Stream Forest along HC2-A left bank, TP2, TP3) will be established to include a diverse mix of species. The plant species list has been developed and can be found in Table 15. Although there is one planting zone, certain targeted species will be planted in the appropriate target community location. Replanting of native species will occur where the existing buffer is impacted during construction. Replanting of native species will occur where the existing buffer is impacted during construction. Due to the nature of the project, complete avoidance of stream and wetland impacts is not possible. Proposed stream impacts, including stream relocation and culverts, will be replaced on site. Wetland impacts associated with restoration and enhancement efforts will only temporarily impact wetlands and will provide an overall increase in wetland function with the addition of native trees and shrubs along the stream banks, and restored hydrology. All stream impacts will be accounted for in the Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) form. 6.5 Determination of Credits Mitigation credits presented in Table 16 are projections based upon site design (Figure 10, Figure 10a, and Figure 10b). Upon completion of site construction, the project components and credits data will only be revised to be consistent with the as -built condition if there is a large discrepancy and with an approved mitigation plan addendum. This will be approved by the USACE. Mockingbird Mitigation Plan 38 November 2018 Project #100021 Table 16.

Specific success criteria components are presented below. 7.1 Stream Restoration Success Criteria Bankfull Events Channel stability should be demonstrated through a minimum of four bankfull events documented in the seven-year monitoring period. The bankfull events must occur in separate years. Otherwise, the stream monitoring will continue until four bankfull events have been documented in separate years. Crest gauges will be installed on the bottom of Reach HCI and Reach NM2. Cross Sections There should be little change in as -built cross sections. If changes do take place, they should be evaluated to determine if they represent a movement toward a less stable condition (for example down -cutting or erosion), or are minor changes that represent an increase in stability (for example settling, vegetative changes, deposition along the banks, or decrease in width/depth ratio). Cross sections shall be classified using the Rosgen stream classification method, and all monitored cross sections should fall within the quantitative parameters defined for channels of the design stream type. For C/E channels, bank height ratio shall not exceed 1.2, and the entrenchment ratio shall be no less than 2.2 within restored reaches. For B channels, bank height ratio shall not exceed 1.2, and the entrenchment ratio shall be no less than 1.4 within restored reaches. Channel stability should be demonstrated through a minimum of four bankfull events documented in the seven-year monitoring period. Digital Image Stations Digital images will be used to subjectively evaluate channel aggradation or degradation, bank erosion, success of riparian vegetation, and effectiveness of erosion control measures. Longitudinal images should not indicate the absence of developing bars within the channel or an excessive increase in channel depth. Lateral images should not indicate excessive erosion or continuing degradation of the banks over time. A series of images over time should indicate successional maturation of riparian vegetation. Surface Flow Stream restoration reaches will be monitored to document intermittent or seasonal surface flow. This will be accomplished through direct observation and the use of hydraulic pressure transducers with data loggers. Intermittent reaches must demonstrate a minimum of 30 consecutive days of flow. Flow gauges will be installed on Reaches NMI, NM4, TP2 and TP3. '1.2 Vegetation Success Criteria Specific and measurable success criteria for plant density within the riparian buffers on the Project will follow IRT Guidance. The interim measures of vegetative success for the Project will be the survival of at least 320 planted three-year old trees per acre at the end of Year 3, five-year old trees at seven feet in height at the end of Year 5, and the final vegetative success criteria will be 210 trees per acre with an average height of ten feet at the end of Year 7. Volunteer trees will be counted, identified to species, and included in the yearly monitoring reports, but will not be counted towards the success criteria of total planted stems. Moreover, any single species can only account for up to 50 percent of the required number of stems within any vegetation plot. Any stems in excess of 50 percent will be shown in the monitoring table, but will not be used to demonstrate success. Mockingbird Mitigation Plan 41 November 2018 Project #100021 8 MONITORING PLAN Annual monitoring data will be reported using the DMS Monitoring Report Template dated June 2017 and NC IRT monitoring template. The monitoring report shall provide a project data chronology that will facilitate an understanding of project status and trends, research purposes, and assist in decision making regarding project close-out. Monitoring reports will be prepared annually and submitted to DMS. Monitoring of the Project will adhere to metrics and performance standards established by the USACE's April 2003 Wilmington District Stream Mitigation Guidelines and the NC IRT's October 2016 Wilmington District Stream and Wetland Compensatory Mitigation Update. Table 17 outlines the links between project goals, objectives, and treatments and their associated monitoring metrics and performance standards within the context of functional uplift based on the Stream Functions Pyramid Framework. Figure 11 is a monitoring map with locations for vegetation plots, flow gauges, crest gauges, and wetland gauges. $3 As -Built Survey An as -built survey will be conducted following construction to document channel size, condition, and location. The survey will include a complete profile of thalweg, water surface, bankfull, and top of bank to compare with future geomorphic data. Longitudinal profiles will not be required in annual monitoring reports unless requested by USACE. Stream channel stationing will be marked with stakes placed near the top of bank every 200 feet. $,2 Visual Monitoring Visual monitoring of all mitigation areas will be conducted a minimum of twice per monitoring year by qualified individuals. The visual assessments will include vegetation density, vigor, invasive species, and easement encroachments. Visual assessments of stream stability will include a complete streamwalk and structure inspection. Digital images will be taken at fixed representative locations to record each monitoring event, as well as any noted problem areas or areas of concern. Results of visual monitoring will be presented in a plan view exhibit with a brief description of problem areas and digital images. Photographs will be used to subjectively evaluate channel aggradation or degradation, bank erosion, success of riparian vegetation, and effectiveness of erosion control measures. 8.3 Hydrology Events Crest gauges will be installed to document the occurrence of bankfull events. In accordance with the guidelines that a minimum of one gauge will be installed on each tributary that is greater than 1,000 feet a crest gauge will be installed on HCI (Appendix A). Reaches with Priority 1 Restoration (designed to reconnect the stream to its floodplain), gauges will be capable of tracking the frequency and duration of overbank events. Where restoration or enhancement activities are proposed for intermittent streams, flow monitoring gauges should be installed to track the frequency and duration of stream flow events. 8A Cross Sections Permanent cross sections will be installed at a minimum of one per 20 bankfull widths with half in pools and half in riffle on all Restoration and Enhancement I reaches. All cross-section measurements will include bank height ratio and entrenchment ratio. Cross sections will be monitored in Years 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7. There should be little change in as -built cross sections. If changes do take place, they should be evaluated to determine if they represent movement toward a less stable condition (for example down -cutting or erosion), or are minor changes that represent an increase in stability (for example settling, vegetative changes, deposition along the banks, or decrease in width/depth ratio). Mockingbird Mitigation Plan 42 November 2018 Project #100021 $.5 Vegetation Monitoring Vegetation monitoring plots will be a minimum of 0.02 acres in size, and cover a minimum of two percent of the planted area. There will be 15 plots within the planted area (18.6 acres) (Appendix A). Plots will be a mixture of fixed and random plots. Planted area indicates all area in the easement that will be planted with trees. Existing wooded areas are not included in the planted area. The following data will be recorded for all trees in the fixed plots: species, height, planting date (or volunteer), and grid location. For random plots, species and height will be recorded for all woody stems. The location (GPS coordinates and orientation) of the random plots will be identified in the annual monitoring reports. Vegetation will be planted and plots established at least 180 days prior to the initiation of the first year of monitoring. Monitoring will occur in Years 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 between July 1st and leaf drop. Invasive and noxious species will be monitored so that none become dominant or alter the desired community structure of the Project. If necessary, RES will develop a species-specific treatment plan. 8.6 Scheduling/Reporting A baseline monitoring report and as -built drawings documenting stream restoration activities will be developed within 60 days of the planting completion on the Project. The report will include all information required by DMS mitigation plan guidelines, including elevations, photographs and sampling plot locations, gauge locations, and a description of initial species composition by community type. The report will also include a list of the species planted and the associated densities. Baseline vegetation monitoring will include species, height, date of planting, and grid location of each stem. The baseline report will follow DMS As - Built Baseline Monitoring Report Template June 2017, USACE guidelines, and the October 2017 Mitigation Credit Calculation Memo. The monitoring program will be implemented to document system development and progress toward achieving the success criteria. The restored stream morphology will be assessed to determine the success of the mitigation. The monitoring program will be undertaken for seven years or until the final success criteria are achieved, whichever is longer. Monitoring reports will be prepared in the fall of each year of monitoring and submitted to DMS. The monitoring reports will include all information, and be in the format required by USACE.

Mockingbird Mitigation Plan 45 November 2018 Project #100021 14 LONG-TERM MANAGEMENT PLAN The site will be transferred to the NCDEQ Stewardship Program (or 3rd party if approved). This party shall serve as conservation easement holder and long-term steward for the property and will conduct periodic inspection of the site to ensure that restrictions required in the conservation easement are upheld. Funding will be supplied by the responsible party on a yearly basis until such time an endowment is established. The NCDEQ Stewardship Program is developing an endowment system within the nonreverting, interest- bearing Conservation Lands Conservation Fund Account. The use of funds from the Endowment Account will be governed by North Carolina General Statute GS 113A -232(d)(3). Interestgai ned by the endowment fund may be used for the purpose of stewardship, monitoring, stewardship administration, and land transaction costs, if applicable. The Stewardship Program will periodically install signage as needed to identify boundary markings as needed. Any livestock or associated fencing or permanent crossings will be the responsibility the owner of the underlying fee to maintain.

IRT members also confirmed the technical approach, and ratios proposed as appropriate. No adjustment to contracted credit amounts are expected. IRT members requested any changes in technical approach between the proposal and mitigation plan be clearly communicated in the mitigation plan. Specific discussions related to each reach are discussed below. Reaches TPI, TP2, TP3, HC2-A, and HC2-B: These reaches are proposed as Enhancement II within the upper portion of the project area. IRT members agreed with that approach and 2.5:1 credit ratio. IRT members requested flow monitoring gauges on headwater reaches to document 30 days of continuous flow, regardless of JD status. Cattle exclusion is being provided through landowner agreement. No fencing is proposed. Todd Tugwell expressed some concern for that approach long-term but did not object in principle regarding the Mockingbird project. Several small isolated wetland areas were discussed but are not expected to impact the project implementation. Reach HC2-C: This reach was proposed as Enhancement I, however, Mac Haupt suggested Restoration may be more appropriate based on the level of impairment. RES will evaluate the final technical approach based on survey and detailed assessment data. Reach HC2-D: IRT members discussed several potential approaches to this forested reach. Generally, the upper two meanders are incised and unstable on outside bends. Todd Tugwell suggested stabilizing these upper meanders could generate EI credit (1.5:1) and preservation is appropriate downstream. Another potential option is preservation on the entire reach, with wider 412 N. 4th St. #300 1200 Camellia Blvd. #220 1434 Odenton Rd. 10055 Red Run Blvd. #130 302 Jefferson St. #110 33 Terminal Way #431 Baton Rouge, LA 70802 Lafayette, LA 70508 Odenton, MD 21113 Owings Mills, MD 21117 Raleigh, NC 27605 Pittsburgh, PA 15219 701 E.

RES will determine the final approach in design phase to maximize uplift and minimize damage to mature riparian forest. All IRT members agreed that including this reach in the project has value. Reach HC 1: This reach is proposed as Restoration. IRT members generally agreed with the restoration approach. P 1 vs P2 approach was discussed in the context of the proposed RES Scout Bank Site located on Hauser Creek between HC 1 and HC2-D. RES proposes to permit and construct the two sites in sequence to allow for a P 1 approach on Reach HC 1, providing higher functional lift and less risk of failures. Reaches NMI and NM4: Both of these reaches are proposed as EII_ IRT members did not provide any direct feedback on these reaches but generally accepted their suitability for EII credit due to livestock exclusion and buffer plantings. Similar to other small headwater reached RES will provide flow duration monitoring tied to success criteria. Reaches NM2, NM3, and JS 1: These reaches are proposed as P 1 restoration. IRT members generally agreed with the restoration approach. It was noted that the upstream limits may require a P2 approach blended into P1 at the confluence with Hauser Creek. No specific comments were provided by the IRT on these reaches. 412 N. 4th St. #300 1200 Camellia Blvd. #220 1434 Odenton Rd. 10055 Red Run Blvd. #130 302 Jefferson St. #110 33 Terminal Way #431 Baton Rouge, LA 70802 Lafayette, LA 70508 Odenton, MD 21113 Owings Mills, MD 21117 Raleigh, NC 27605 Pittsburgh, PA 15219 701 E.

Each plot is a 5m X 20m belt transect, positioned parallel to the channel in the floodplain or adjacent upland. Take a GPS point at the origin and set the bounds with 5m as the "x-axis" and 20m as the "Y-axis." Set the plot with the y-axis as the side parallel to the stream channel. Record the y-axis azimuth to allow for future resampling. Conclude selection and set-up with a representative photo of the plot taken from the origin. Data Collection Identify each plant in the plot to the species level. Sort and measure tree species by height class and diameter at breast height (DBH). Count seedlings <54in (137cm) in height into height categories 0-9cm, 10-50cm, 51-100cm, or 101-137cm. Count saplings >54in (137cm) in height into DBH categories 0-lcm, 1-2.5cm, 2.5-5cm, or 5-12.7cm. Measure the DBH of all trees >5in (12.7cm) DBH. Shrubs, vines, and herbaceous taxa receive an estimation of their percent cover over the substrate within the plot. If the personnel are unable to identify to the species level, collect voucher photos and/or specimen(s) for later identification. Record these on the data sheet as UNK-1, UNK-2, etc. Data Processing Begin processing collected data by identifying the unknown species observed from voucher photos and specimen(s) collected. When species present are sufficiently identified, use the dominant canopy species assemblages and ecological region to identify a habitat type from Schafale (2012). Calculate both basal area and stems per acre for each plot surveyed using the formulas below. These metrics help to inform the existing conditions of the canopy on-site and inform the development of the project's planting plan. Basal Area Formula: Basal area of each tree (m2) = 0.00007854 X (DBHcm)2 Basal area of plot (m2/ha) = (sum of basal areas for all trees in plot) X 100 • 100 is to scale up from our O.Olha plot to lha Stems per Acre Formula: Stems/Acre = (# of stems)/0.02471 Existing Conditions Vegetation Survey Date: (_{ i .. _ � Latitude: TES: !

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and Notary Seal this the day of , 20. Notary Public My commission expires: NCDMS Full Delivery Conservation Easement Template adopted 5 May 2017 Page 10 of 11 Exhibit A [INSERT LEGAL DESCRIPTION] NCDMS Full Delivery Conservation Easement Template adopted 5 May 2017 Page 11 of 11 Appendix D —Credit Release Schedule CREDIT RELEASE SCHEDULE All credit releases will be based on the total credit generated as reported in the approved final mitigation plan, unless there are major discrepancies and then a mitigation plan addendum will be submitted. Under no circumstances shall any mitigation project be debited until the necessary Department of the Army (DA) authorization has been received for its construction or the District Engineer (DE) has otherwise provided written approval for the project in the case where no DA authorization is required for construction of the mitigation project. The DE, in consultation with the IRT, will determine if performance standards have been satisfied sufficiently to meet the requirements of the release schedules below. In cases where some performance standards have not been met, credits may still be released depending on the specifics of the case. Monitoring may be required to be restarted or be extended, depending on the extent to which the site fails to meet the specified performance standard. The release of project credits will be subject to the criteria described as follows in Table D1. Table D1. Stream Credit Release Schedule Credit Interim Total Release Release Activity Release Release Milestone 0 Initial Allocation — see requirements below 30% 30% 1 First year monitoring report demonstrates performance 10% 40% standards are being met 2 Second year monitoring report demonstrates 10% 50% performance standards are being met 3 Third year monitoring report demonstrates performance 10% 60% standards are being met 4 Fourth year monitoring report demonstrates performance 5 /0 ° 65% standards are being met (750//0**) 5 Fifth year monitoring report demonstrates performance 10% ° 75% standards are being met (85%**) 6* Sixth year monitoring report demonstrates performance 5% 80%* standards are beingmet 90% 7 Seventh year monitoring report demonstrates 90% performance standards are being met and project has 10% (100%**) received closeout approval *Please note that vegetation data may not be required with monitoring reports submitted during these monitoring years unless otherwise required by the Mitigation Plan or directed by the IRT. "10% reserve of credits to be held back until the bankfull event performance standard has been met. Initial Allocation of Released Credits The initial allocation of released credits, as specified in the mitigation plan, can be released by DMS without prior written approval of the DE upon satisfactory completion of the following activities: 1) Approval of the final Mitigation Plan. 2) Recordation of the preservation mechanism, as well as a title opinion acceptable to the USACE covering the property. 3) Completion of project construction (the initial physical and biological improvements to the mitigation site) pursuant to the mitigation plan; per the DMS Instrument, construction means that a mitigation site has been constructed in its entirety, to include planting, and an as -built report has been produced. As -built reports must be sealed by an engineer prior to project closeout, if appropriate but not prior to the initial allocation of released credits. 4) Receipt of necessary DA permit authorization or written DA approval for projects where DA permit issuance is not required. Subsequent Credit Releases All subsequent credit releases must be approved by the DE, in consultation with the IRT, based on a determination that required performance standards have been achieved. For stream projects a reserve of 10% of a site's total stream credits shall be released after four bankfull events have occurred, in separate years, provided the channel is stable and all other performance standards are met. In the event that less than four bankfull events occur during the monitoring period, release of these reserve credits shall be at the discretion of the IRT. As projects approach milestones associated with credit release, DMS will submit a request for credit release to the DE along with documentation substantiating achievement of criteria required for release to occur. This documentation will be included with the annual monitoring report. Appendix E —Financial Assurance FINANCIAL ASSURANCE Pursuant to Section IV H and Appendix III of the NCDEQ DMS (formerly Ecosystem Enhancement Program) In -Lieu Fee Instrument dated July 28, 2010, the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) has provided the USACE-Wilmington District with a formal commitment to fund projects to satisfy mitigation requirements assumed by NCDEQ DMS. This commitment provides financial assurance for all mitigation projects implemented by the program. Appendix F —Maintenance Plan MAINTENANCE PLAN The site will be monitored on a regular basis and a physical inspection will be conducted a minimum of once per year throughout the post construction monitoring period until performance standards are met. These site inspections may identify site components and features that require routine maintenance. Routine maintenance should be expected most often in the first two years following site construction and may include the following: F1. Maintenance Plan Component/Feature Maintenance through project close-out Stream Routine channel maintenance and repair activities may include chinking of in -stream structures to prevent piping, securing of loose coir matting, and supplemental installations of live stakes and other target vegetation along the channel. Areas where stormwater and floodplain flows intercept the channel may also require maintenance to prevent bank failures and head -cutting. Stream maintenance activities will be documented and reported in annual monitoring reports. Stream maintenance will continue through the monitoring period. Wetland N/A Vegetation Vegetation shall be maintained to ensure the health and vigor of the targeted plant community. Routine vegetation maintenance and repair activities may include supplemental planting, pruning, mulching, and fertilizing. Exotic invasive plant species shall be treated by mechanical and/or chemical methods. Any vegetation requiring herbicide application will be performed in accordance with NC Department of Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations. Vegetation maintenance activities will be documented and reported in annual monitoring reports. Vegetation maintenance will continue through the monitoring period. Site Boundary Site boundaries shall be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between the mitigation site and adjacent properties. Boundaries will be marked with signs identifying the property as a mitigation site, and will include the name of the long-term steward and a contact number. Boundaries may be identified by fence, marker, bollard, post, tree -blazing, or other means as allowed by site conditions and/or conservation easement. Boundary markers disturbed, damaged, or destroyed will be repaired and/or replaced on an as -needed basis. Easement monitoring and staking/signage maintenance will continue in perpetuity as a stewardship activity. Road Crossing Road crossings within the site may be maintained only as allowed by conservation easement or existing easement, deed restrictions, rights of way, or corridor agreements. Crossings in easement breaks are the responsibility of the landowner to maintain. Livestock Fencing Livestock fencing is to be placed outside the easement limits. Maintenance of fencing is the responsibility of the landowner. Beaver Routine site visits and monitoring will be used to determine if beaver management is needed. If beaver activity poses a threat to project stability or vegetative success, RES will trap beavers and remove impoundments as needed. All beaver management activities will be documented and included in annual monitoring reports. Beaver monitoring and management will continue through the monitoring period.

Reference review area description in Jurisdictional Determination Request Package entitled "Potential Wetland or Non -Wetland Waters of the U.S. Map" and Printed Date of 2/28/2018. Indicate Which of the Following Apply: A. Preliminary Determination ® There appear to be waters including wetlands, on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). The waters including wetlands, have been delineated, and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently accurate and reliable. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated 2/28/2018. Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction determination may be used in the permit evaluation process, including determining compensatory mitigation. For purposes of computation of impacts, compensatory mitigation requirements, and other resource protection measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat all waters and wetlands that would be affected in any way by the permitted activity on the site as if they are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. This preliminary determination is not an appealable action under the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process (Reference 33 CFR Part 331). However, you may request an approved JD, which is an appealable action, by contacting the Corps district for further instruction. ❑ There appear to be waters including wetlands, on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). However, since the waters including wetlands, have not been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdiction determination may not be used in the permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation, this preliminary determination is merely an effective presumption of CWA/RHA jurisdiction over all of the waters including wetlands, at the project area, which is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision. We recommend that you have the waters including wetlands, on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps. B. Approved Determination ❑ There are Navigable Waters of the United States within the above described project area/property subject to the permit requirements of Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification. ❑ There are waters including wetlands, on the above described project area/property subject to the permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) (33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification. SAW -2017-01469 and SAW -2017-01505 ❑ We recommend you have the waters including wetlands, on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps. ❑ The waters including wetlands, on your project area/property have been delineated and the delineation has been verified by the Corps. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated MAP DATE. If you wish to have the delineation surveyed, the Corps can review and verify the survey upon completion. Once verified, this survey will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWA and/or RHA jurisdiction on your property which, provided there is no change in the law or our published regulations, may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years. ❑ The waters including wetlands, have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat signed by the Corps Regulatory Official identified below on SURVEY SIGNED DATE. Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification. ❑ There are no waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, present on the above described project area/property which are subject to the permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification. ❑ The property is located in one of the 20 Coastal Counties subject to regulation under the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) You should contact the Division of Coastal Management in Morehead City, NC, at (252) 808-2808 to determine their requirements. Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US, including wetlands, without a Department of the Army permit may constitute a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC § 1311). Placement of dredged or fill material, construction or placement of structures, or work within navigable waters of the United States without a Department of the Army permit may constitute a violation of Sections 9 and/or 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33 USC § 401 and/or 403).

Further, an AID, a proffered individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an administrative appeal, it becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will provide an AID to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds that there "may be" waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be" navigable waters of the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information: SUPPORTING DATA.

Appendix J —Invasive Species Plan INVASIVE SPECIES PLAN Annual monitoring and semi-annual site visits will be conducted to assess the condition of the finished project. These site inspections may identify the presence of invasive vegetation. RES will treat invasive species vegetation within the project area and provide remedial action on a case by- case basis. Common invasive species vegetation, such as Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora), tree -of -heaven (Ailanthus altissima), and Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), will be treated to allow native plants to become established within the conservation easement. Invasive species vegetation will be treated by approved mechanical and/or chemical methods such that the percent composition of exotic/invasive species is less than 5% of the total riparian buffer area. Any control methods requiring herbicide application will be performed in accordance with NC Department of Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations. If areas of invasive species exist within the easement, they will be monitored yearly as part of the monitoring protocol, and treated if necessary. If required, problem areas will continue to be treated until the project easement shows overall trending towards meeting all monitoring requirements.

As a part of the ERTR and CERCLA compliance, an EDR Radius Map Report with Geocheck was ordered for the Mockingbird Mitigation Site through Environmental Data Resources, Inc (EDR) on July 10, 2017. According to the EDR report, there were not listed sites located within I mile of the project site. In addition to the EDR search, a visual inspection of the Mockingbird site was conducted to assess the potential for the occurrence of recognized environmental conditions on the property that might not have been revealed in the EDR report. The inspection was conducted to locate and identify any obvious use, storage, or generation of hazardous materials. No hazardous storage containers or substances were observed. Overall, the EDR assessment revealed no evidence of "recognized environmental conditions" in connection with the target property. The summary of the EDR report is included in the Appendix. National Historical Preservation Act (Section 106) The National Historical Preservation Act (NHPA) is legislation intended to preserve historical and archaeological sites in the United States of America. RES requested review and comment from the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) with respect to any archaeological and architectural resources related to the Mockingbird Mitigation Site on October 20', 2017. SHPO responded on November 3, 2017 and had no objections to the Mockingbird Project. The correspondence SHPO can be found in the Appendix. Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act (Uniform Act) The Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act (Uniform Act) provides important protections and assistance for those people affected by federally funded projects. The Uniform Act applies to the acquisition, rehabilitation, or demolition of real property for federally funded projects. The Mockingbird Mitigation Site is a full -delivery project that includes land acquisition. Notification of fair market value of the property and the lack of condemnation authority was completed by RES. The landowner was notified of fair market value and condemnation authority was listed in the option agreement. Endangered Species Act (ESA) Section 7 of the ESA requires federal agencies, in consultation with and with the assistance of the Secretary of the Interior or of Commerce, as appropriate, to ensure that actions they authorize, fund or carry out are not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of threatened or endangered species or result in the destruction or adverse modification of critical habitat for these species. Davie County's list of threatened and endangered species include Michaux's Sumac (Rhus michauxii) and Northern Long Eared Bat (NLEB) (Myotis septentrionalis). Other than the NLEB, the Mockingbird Mitigation Site does not support any habitat related to any of the threatened or endangered species listed above. During site visits performed by RES, no NLEB individuals were found to exist on the site. A completed NLEB 4(d) Rule Streamline Consultation Form will be submitted by the Federal Highways Administration to the USFWS is included in Appendix F. The NLEB 4(d) Rules states "that the project may affect the NLEB, but that any resulting incidental take of the NLEB is not prohibited by the final 4(d) rule." All correspondence with the USFWS is included in the Appendix. Farmland Protection Policy Act (FPPA) The Farmland Protection Policy Act (FPPA) is intended to minimize the impact federal programs have on the unnecessary and irreversible conversion of farmland to nonagricultural uses. The Mockingbird Mitigation Site includes the conversion of prime farmland. As such, Form AD -1006 has been completed and submitted to the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS). The completed form and correspondence is included in the Appendix. Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (FWCA) The Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (FWCA) of the United States was enacted to protect fish and wildlife when federal actions result in the control or modification of a natural stream or body of water. Since the Mockingbird Mitigation Site includes stream restoration RES requested comment from the North Carolina Fish and Wildlife Resource Commission (NCWRC). The NCWRC responded on December 1, 2017 and stated there are no records for any listed aquatic species in the vicinity of the project. All correspondence can be found in Appendix F. Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) The MBTA makes it unlawful for anyone to kill, capture, collect, possess, buy, sell, trade, ship import, or extort and migratory bird. The indirect killing of birds by destroying their nests and eggs is covered by the MBTA, so construction in nesting areas during nesting seasons can constitute at taking. RES requested comment on the Mockingbird Mitigation Site from the USFWS regarding migratory birds on October 20', 2017. The USFWS responded on November 20, 2017 and stated that besides the Northern long-eared bat, there is no record of other federally protected species in the project vicinity.

The Mockingbird Stream Mitigation Site is located on Hauser Creek and its tributaries in Davie County. Hauser Creek is a direct tributary to the Yadkin River. There's an existing easement downstream of this new mitigation site. There are no records for any listed aquatic species in the vicinity of this project. The Catbird Stream Mitigation Site appears to be located on an unnamed tributary to the Yadkin River located east of Hauser Creek in Davie County. There are no records for any listed aquatic species in the vicinity of this project. The Little Sebastian Stream Mitigation Site is located in Surry County on Mill Creek and 3 of it's tributaries. Mill Creek is a tributary to the Mitchell River. While there are no records of listed aquatic species in Mill Creek, there are records for brook floater, Alasmidonta varicosa, in the Mitchell River upstream and downstream of the Mill Creek confluence. Brook floater is a state endangered species. I've consulted with our aquatic biologists about the possibility of brook floaters in Mill Creek. There are no records from Mill Creek, but we don't have any records of collection efforts there either. So brook floaters may inhabit Mill Creek, near the area proposed for restoration. Our biologist plan to investigate Mill Creek to see if there are brook floaters present or if the habitat there is likely to support them. If brook floaters, or another listed aquatic species is found, additional measures will be needed to protect these species if restoration efforts are likely to impact them. While restoration efforts are likely to improve habitat conditions in the long term in Mill Creek, and potentially improve conditions downstream in the Mitchell River as well, there may be short term impacts to aquatic species and habitats during restoration. Additional measures during restoration may be needed to minimize these short term impacts. Regarding terrestrial species, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) recently listed the northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. Davie & Surry counties are within the range (https://www.fws.gov/midwest/endangered/mammals/nleb/pdf/WNSZone.pdf) of the northern long- eared bat and may be present or in the vicinity of the project site. As such, consultation with the USFWS may be required. For more information, please see https://www.fws.gov/midwest/endangered/mammals/nleb/ or https://www.fws.gov/raleigh/NLEB RFO.html or contact the Asheville office of the USFWS to ensure that potential issues related to this species are addressed. Please let me know if I can assist further. Also, feel free to follow up on the results of survey efforts in Mill Creek if you have not yet heard from me.

We submit the following comments in accordance with the provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661-667e); the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. §4321 et seq.); and section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) (Act). Project Description According to your correspondence, you are seeking our scoping comments to inform a NEPA document for a proposed mitigation bank near Farmington, North Carolina. The proposed bank would entail restoration and enhancement of approximately 8,800 linear feet of Hauser Creek and its unnamed tributaries. Adjacent land use is dominated by pasture and row crops. Federally Listed Endangered and Threatened Species According to Service records, suitable summer roosting habitat may be present in the project area for the federally threatened northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis). However, the final 4(d) rule (effective as of February 16, 2016), exempts incidental take of northern long-eared bat associated with activities that occur greater than 0.25 miles from a known hibernation site, and greater than 150 feet from a known, occupied maternity roost during the pup season (June 1 — July 31). Based on the information provided, the project (which may or may not require tree clearing) would occur at a location where any incidental take that may result from associated activities is exempt under the 4(d) rule. Although not required, we encourage you to avoid any associated tree clearing activities during the maternity roosting season from May 15 — August 15 if possible. The Service has record of no other federally protected species in the project vicinity. We offer the following comments in the interest of protecting fish and wildlife resources: Stream Channel and Bank Restoration A natural, stable stream system is one that is able to transport a wide range of flows and associated bed load (sediment) while maintaining channel features and neither degrading (accelerating the erosion of banks and scour of the channel bed) nor aggrading (accelerating the deposition of sediment within the channel). Alterations to the dimension (cross-sectional view of the channel), pattern (the sinuosity of the channel), or profile (longitudinal slope) of the stream channel as well as changes to streambank vegetation, floodplains, hydrology, or sediment input can significantly alter this equilibrium. Accordingly, we recommend the following: Only the absolute minimum amount of work should be done within stream channels to accomplish necessary reconstruction. The amount of disturbance to in -stream and riparian areas should not exceed what can be stabilized by the end of the workday. Restoration plans should account for the constraints of the site and the opportunities to improve stream pattern, dimension, and profile with minimal disturbance. 2. All reconstruction work should follow natural channel design methodologies that are based on the bank -full, or channel -forming, stage of the stream. Bank -full stage maintains the natural channel dimensions and transports the bulk of sediment over time (Doll et al. 2003). Natural channel conditions should be identified using a reference reach (nearby stream reaches that exemplify restoration goals). Restoration design should match the pattern, dimension, and profile of the reference reach to ensure the project's success. The Service is available to assist with the identification of reference reaches. All work in or adjacent to stream waters should be conducted in a dry work area to the extent possible. Sandbags, cofferdams, bladder dams, or other diversion structures should be used to prevent excavation in flowing water. These diversion structures should be removed as soon as the work area is stable. When practical, a pump -around operation shall be used to divert flow during construction. 4. Equipment should not be operated in the stream unless absolutely necessary. Machinery should be operated from the banks in a fashion that minimizes disturbance to woody vegetation. Equipment should be: (a) washed to remove any contaminant residue prior to project construction, (b) in good working order, and (c) checked to ensure there are no leaks of potential contaminants (such as oil or other lubricants) prior to and during construction. 5. Streambanks with deep-rooted woody vegetation are the most stable, and stream restoration efforts should incorporate the use of native vegetation adapted to the site conditions. Biodegradable erosion -control materials may be incorporated into bank -restoration design in order to stabilize soils as vegetation becomes established. Live dormant stakes (such as black willow) may be used to reestablish root structure in riparian areas. In areas where banks are severely undercut, high, and steep, whole -tree revetment or rock may be used as a stabilization treatment (small rock, gravel, sand, and dirt are not recommended due to their erosive nature), and it should not extend above the bank -full elevation (the elevation of the channel where the natural floodplain begins). Deep -rooting woody vegetation should be established along banks where any channel work is accomplished. Tree and shrub plantings should be spaced at intervals no greater than 10 feet along banks. Vegetated riparian zone widths should be as wide as practical but should extend at least 30 feet from the stream channel. 6. Adequate measures to control sediment and erosion must be implemented prior to any ground -disturbing activities in order to minimize effects on downstream aquatic resources. In North Carolina, non -cohesive and erosion -prone soils are most common in the felsic-crystalline terrains of the mountain and upper piedmont regions (Miller and Kochel 2010). Therefore, reconstruction work should be staged such that disturbed areas would be stabilized with seeding, mulch, and/or biodegradable (coir) erosion -control matting prior to the end of each workday. No erosion -control matting or blankets should contain synthetic (netting) materials. Matting should be secured in place with staples; stakes; or, wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. If rain is expected prior to temporary seed establishment, additional measures should be implemented to protect water quality along slopes and overburden stockpiles (for example, stockpiles may be covered with plastic or other geotextile material). 7. Woody debris, detritus, and other vegetative materials are the main sources of nutrients and carbon necessary for primary productivity in stream ecosystems. Removal of this material can impact the production of higher trophic levels, including fish. The Service does not recommend the removal of woody debris within the stream channel or floodplain unless it is causing a debris blockage (logjam) or will affect the ability to achieve bank stability along a specific reach of stream. Woody debris that must be removed should be chipped on the site. 8. At each restoration site, cross-sections (at intervals based on restoration reach size), longitudinal profiles, and stream -pattern plans should be measured and mapped prior to and immediately following any channel work. In addition, photographs should be taken to document the condition of the project site prior to initiating the work and upon completion of the work. However, since a project's restoration success does not necessarily equate to biological success, the ecological goals of the project should be clearly defined and assessed for improvement after construction is completed (Palmer et al. 2005). The Service appreciates the opportunity to provide these comments. Please contact Mr. Byron Hamstead of our staff at 828/258-3939, Ext. 225, if you have any questions.

This framework allows federal agencies to rely upon the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS) January 5, 2016, intra -Service Programmatic Biological Opinion (BO) on the final 4(d) rule for the NLEB for section 7(a)(2) compliance by: (1) notifying the USFWS that an action agency will use the streamlined framework; (2) describing the project with sufficient detail to support the required determination; and (3) enabling the USFWS to track effects and determine if reinitiation of consultation is required per 50 CFR 402.16. This form is not necessary if an agency determines that a proposed action will have no effect to the NLEB or if the USFWS has concurred in writing with an agency's determination that a proposed action may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect the NLEB (i.e., the standard informal consultation process). Actions that may cause prohibited incidental take require separate formal consultation. Providing this information does not address section 7(a)(2) compliance for any other listed species.

Project Name: Mockingbird Stream Mitigation Site, DMS Project #100021 Project Location (include coordinates if known): The Project is located in Davie County, approximately eight miles west of Clemmons and five miles northwest of Bermuda Run. From Raleigh, proceed west on I-40 towards Greensboro. Continue on I-40 West for 115 miles. Take exit 180B to merge onto NC -801. Stay on NC -801 for 4 miles. Take a right onto Spillman road and continue for approximately 1 mile and the project will be on the left. Coordinates for the site are as follows: 36.036000 N, - 80.517000 W. Basic Project Description (provide narrative below or attach additional information): The Mockingbird Stream Mitigation Site is located in Davie County, approximately eight miles west of Clemmons and five miles northwest of Bermuda Run (Figure 1). The Project is located in the Yadkin River Basin within Cataloging Unit 03040101, TLW 03040101160010, and NC Division of Water Resources (DWR) subbasin 03-07- 02. The Project area includes Hauser Creek and seven unnamed tributaries. The current State classification for Hauser Creek is Water Supply IV (WS -IV). WS -IV waters are sources of water supply for drinking, culinary, or food processing purposes where a WS -I, II or III classification is not feasible. Water quality stressors currently affecting the Project include livestock production, agricultural production, and lack of riparian buffer. Field evaluations determined all reaches to be either intermittent or perennial. A combination of stream restoration, enhancement, and preservation is proposed to increase hydrologic and ecological function and protect these features in perpetuity (Figure 2). Reaches proposed for the Project have minimum 50 -foot buffers throughout and RES has the ability to protect larger buffers if necessary. Agricultural BMPs are proposed above intermittent enhancement reaches to capture and treat concentrated runoff from adjacent pasture. The Site will include Priority II stream restoration, stream Enhancement Levels I and II, and stream preservation on 13 reaches (Figure 2; HCI, NMI, NM2, NM3, NM4. JS1, HC2-A, HC2-B, HC3-C, HC2-D, TPI, TP2, TP3). Priority II stream restoration will incorporate the design of a single -thread meandering channel, with parameters based on data taken from reference sites to be identified later, published empirical relationships, regional flood frequency analyses, NC Regional Curves, and analysis of the downstream Hauser Creek project design and performance. Analytical design techniques will also be an important element of the project and will be used to determine the design discharge and to verify the design as a whole. Priority II Stream Restoration activities will include constructing an E/C type stream with appropriate dimensions and pattern, reconnecting the channel to the floodplain, and backfilling the abandoned channel. In -stream structures such as log sills and brush toes will be installed for vertical stability and to improve habitat. Buffer improvements will filter runoff from agricultural fields, thereby reducing nutrient and sediment loads to the channel. The widening and restoration of the riparian areas will also provide wildlife corridors throughout the project area. Enhancement I activities will include bank grading and stabilization and the installation of log grade control structures, brush toes, and live stakes. Stabilization through in -stream structures and bank treatments will enhance hydrologic function and reduce sediment loads to downstream channels. Habitat will further be improved through buffer plantings and livestock exclusion. Livestock fencing will follow current NRCS standards and specifications. The widening and restoration of the riparian areas will provide wildlife corridors throughout the project area. The re-establishment of minimum 50 -foot buffers will filter runoff from adjacent pastures, thereby reducing nutrient and sediment loads to the channel. Enhancement II activities will include the re-establishment of a riparian buffer and live staking the channel banks with native vegetation. Proposed buffer activities will improve riparian areas that will filter runoff from adjacent agricultural areas, thereby reducing nutrient and sediment loads to the channel. The buffers will extend a minimum of 50 feet from the top of each bank. Preservation activities include maintaining a 50 -foot minimum buffer on each bank. One agricultural BMP will be installed at the upper end of the reach (TP3, Figure 2) to provide nutrient/sediment control and flow attenuation from the adjacent pasture. Any tree removal due to the construction of the stream mitigation site will be limited to the area along the channel banks. An effort will be made to conduct any tree cutting of suitable summer roosting tree species between August 1 and May 31, but will ultimately depend on the construction/contractor timeline. The following objectives are proposed for accomplishing project goals: a. The Project presents the opportunity to provide up to 6,047 warm stream mitigation units. These will be derived from 4,244 linear feet of Priority II Restoration, 449 linear feet of Enhancement I, 3,644 linear feet of Enhancement II, and 462 linear feet of Preservation (see table below). b. Restore stable channel morphology and proper sediment transport capacity. c. Create and improve stream bed form and improve aquatic and benthic macroinvertebrate habitat. d. Construct a floodplain bench that is accessible at the proposed bankfull channel elevation. e. Improve channel and stream bank stabilization by integrating in -stream structures and native bank vegetation. f. Provide approximately 22.9 acres of riparian buffer restoration by establishing a native forested and herbaceous riparian buffer plant community with a minimum width of 50 feet from the edge of the restored channels. This new community will be established in conjunction with the eradication of any existing exotic or undesirable plant species.

Subject: Mockingbird Conservation Easement Project, Davie County, NC. The following guidance is provided for your information. Projects are subject to the Farmland Protection Policy Act (FPPA) requirements if they may irreversibly convert farmland (directly or indirectly) to non- agricultural use and are completed by a federal agency or with assistance from a federal agency. Farmland means prime or unique farmlands as defined in section 1540(c)(1) of the FPPA or farmland that is determined by the appropriate state or unit of local government agency or agencies with concurrence of the Secretary of Agriculture to be farmland of statewide local importance. For the purpose of FPPA, farmland includes prime farmland, unique farmland, and land of statewide or local importance. Farmland subject to FPPA requirements does not have to be currently used for cropland. It can be forestland, pastureland, cropland, or other land, but not water or urban built-up land. Farmland does not include land already in or committed to urban development or water storage. Farmland already in urban development or water storage includes all such land with a density of 30 structures per 40 -acre area. Farmland already in urban development also includes lands identified as urbanized area (UA) on the Census Bureau Map, or as urban area mapped with a tint overprint on the United States Geological Survey (USGS) topographical maps, or as urban -built-up on the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Important Farmland Maps. The area in question meets one or more of the above criteria for Farmland. Farmland area will be affected or converted.
