INTRODUCTION
' This application package is being submitted for anafter-the-fact permit under Nationwide
Permit 39 for a construction project involving the channeling of a 163-foot portion of
Cattail Branch, in Clinton, Sampson County, North Carolina. This application package is
being submitted to meet the requirements of the US Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE),
Wilmington Office, and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources, Division of Water Quality (DWQ, Fayetteville Regional Office. The request
' is for anafter-the-fact permit due to the City of Clinton's oversight to apply for
authorization prior to installing the 163-foot pipe which is the subject of the permit
application.
This application refers to five sections (or reaches) of Cattail Branch as follows;

BACKGROUND
The City of Clinton initiated construction projects in 1999 through 2005 to address the
severe erosion of the stream bank and stabilization structures employed for Cattail
' Branch in the vicinity of Butler Drive and Johnson Street intersection in Clinton, North
Carolina. The City installed pipe in the Downstream reach, a portion of the creek
begmmng with the driveway crossing of 401 Butler Drive to approximately 300 feet
northwest, in 1999. Based on discussions with Lillette Granade, Physical Scientist for the
US Army Corps of Engineers in Wilmington, NC, the installation of this portion of pipe
was conducted prior the finalization of the Nationwide Permit 39 and would be exempt
from the requirement for the a permit.
In 2005, the property owners and the City were attempting to address the Project,
' Upstream, and Mitigation 1 and 2 Reaches. The Project reach is the subject of this
application. This section of creek includes approximately 163' of the stream located
southeast from the south face of the driveway culvert for 401 Butler Drive. The stream

' USACE Permit Application

banks of the creek had been historically stabilized using sand bags, steel piling, concrete
walls and natural rock wall. Over time the soil behind the existing retaining structures
' was eroding and causing collapse and degradation of the stream and potential for further
structural collapse. As a first step, the City conducted a stream evaluation which
indicated the stream. would be characterized as a degraded urban stream with low water
' quality (See North Carolina Stream Characterization Report and NDDWQ Stream
Identification Form, Appendix B).
' The City conducted an analysis to determine the most cost effective and technologically
reasonable method to remedy the bank stabilization issues for the upstream portions of
the creek that include the Project Reach (discussed above) as well as the approximate
' 180-feet immediately upstream of the Project Reach and approximately 450 feet to the
southwest of Johnson Street, also upstream and referred to as Mitigation Reach 1 and 2.
' The City's analysis determined that Upstream Reach and the Project Reach presented
particular challenges to natural stream design and/or grading and stabilization with riprap
or vegetated buffer due to several reasons. The Project reach is situated on a parcel
' located between a private property and the road right-of--way for Butler Drive. Along
Butler Drive are aged pine trees that stabilize the road right of way and present a limit to
grading in the right-of--way. Therefore, the only direction in which to provide grade relief
' would be in the direction of the private landowner. The impact of this widening would
be a severe intrusion into the parcel and the landowner saw this as potentially negatively
impacting his property value. Therefore, the City was left with opportunity to only
' consider the potential remedies that would involve stabilizing the existing vertical bank
configuration of the stream.
' The Upstream Reach extends approximately 180 feet southeast of the Project Reach to
culvert for Johnson Street. This reach also exhibited degradation of the banks, however,
the south bank exhibited a steep grade and the adjacent parcel was vegetated with large
' trees and shrubs which would stabilize that section. The north bank however would
require some stabilization but did not exhibit the level degradation as was seen
downstream. In addition the proximity of Butler Drive to the existing north bank
' presented severe restriction of space for any grading for rip/rap, gabion, vegetation or
other desirable stabilization methods.
The Mitigation Reach 1 and 2 portions of the creek located southeast of Johnson Street
along Fisher Drive exhibited significant erosion and degradation of the stabilization
' structures; however, this reach of stream provided more opportuntity for use of non-
structural stream bank stabilization and natural stream design enhancement. However,
Mitigation Reach 1 would involve intrusion into privately owned property and the
' securing of a Conservation Easement for the property by the City.
The remedy analysis results indicated that the City would need to expend approximately
' $200,000 of public funds to install appropriate stabilization to the Project Reach given the
limited methods available (see Appendix C for the City's financial evaluation for
remedies discussed above). The stream evaluation also concluded that the maintenance of

the stream bed in this configuration would not improve the downstream water quality
appreciably. The City evaluated the Upstream Reach and determined that stabilization in
that portion was not an imminent need. The evaluation of Mitigation Reach 1 and 2
indicated that stabilization remedy could be instituted in those sections that would be
more beneficial to the stream and water quality while also addressing the City's need to
address stormwater management issues.
The City concluded that the better use of public funds would be to provide stream and
water quality enhancement in a more accessible and larger area of the stream, rather than
to stabilize the Project Reach. Therefore, the City decided the most reasonable method
for stabilization of the Project Reach would be the least expensive, lowest maintenance
alternative which was installation of the pipe. The City installed the pipe in March, 2005,
and mistakenly overlooked the need to apply for authorization to install the pipe from
USAGE and DWQ. This oversight resulted in a Notice of Unauthorized Activity issued
by the USAGE in December, 2005.
As a result, the City is now requesting anafter-the-fact approval for the installation of the
pipe under authorization of Nationwide Permit 39 to include offsetting mitigation of the
Mitigation Reach 2 using a natural stream design enhancement plan. This application
presents a 1:1 mitigation plan ratio of stream enhancement. The Mitigation Plan is
described in detail in Appendix E.
In September, 2006, the City of Clinton submitted an application for the ATP NWP39
permit and was assigned Action ID SAW-2006-40592-082/Sampson County.
Information that was requested in order to complete the application package included the
following:
1) A copy of a draft Conservation Easement or an equivalent Declaration of
Restrictions for the mitigation area and a draft recordable map that clearly
depicts the surveyed boundaries of the preservation area. The City of Clinton
has chosen to us a Declaration of Restrictions and has included a draft copy of
the Declaration as Appendix G. A draft recordable map is included as
Appendix H.
2) A revised Mitigation plan that provides detailed planting for the riparian
buffers, including species and locations, detailed plans and specifications for
the stream enhancement including basic Rosgen-type analysis, and the
proposed construction and planting schedule. Please see the revised
Mitigation plan included as Appendix E.

Impacts are necessary in order to permanently remedy the stabilization of the stream banks in
the subject stream stretch. An analysis of stabilization options indicated that the installation of
bank stabilization techniques would be either too costly or were technically infeasible given the
significant impact to personal property not owned by the city. It should be noted that the
location of the stream in proximity to surrounding trees, road and property ownership, limited the
potential for grading of the banks to accommodate riprap or vegetated buffers as a viable
remedy. Therefore, the analysis include only the available stabilization techniques for vertical
bank stabilization. Impacts to the free flow of the stream are being minimized by installation of
a conveyance of sufficient size to not impede water flow given the current stream convey
capability. See Attachment 3 for detail information on the stabilization methods analyzed for
the project.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values,: preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http: //h2o. enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
See Attachment 5 - Mitigation Plan. It should be noted that the City will provide
mitigation to approximately 166' of stream located upstream from the subject project. The

deci_sio__n to_ include this level of mitigation is based on the need to stabilize the stream banks
for this portion of the stream as well as to provide water management improvement and
water quality enhancemer~-to the degraded stream. This stretch provides the most accessible
and reasonable mitigation location in proximity to the subject stream stretch. In addition, the
improvements to this portion of the stream were determined to be a more cost effective use of
public funds for overall water flow management and water quality improvement.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For
additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP

Summary of Biological, Historical, and Archeological Investigations
Vegetative Community
The following is a list of species that was found on the banks and directly
adjacent to the banks both up and downstream of the culverted portion of Cattail
Branch.
• Loblolly Pine
• Fescue
• Water Oak
• Willow Oak
• Muscadine Vine

Jurisdictional Topics: Waters of the United States
Surface waters and jurisdictional wetlands fall under the broad category of
Waters of the United States, as defined in Title §33 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) Section 328.3. Wetlands, defined in §33 CFR 328.3, are
those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a
frequency and duration sufficient to support, and under normal circumstances do
support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted to life in saturated
conditions. Any action that proposes to place fill into these areas falls under the
jurisdiction of the USACE under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.
1344) and the NCDWQ through Section 401 of the Clean Water Act which
requires a Water Quality Certification.

Potential wetland communities were investigated pursuant to the Corps of
Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory, 1987). The
manual outlines a three-parameter approach. Hydric soils, hydrophytic
vegetation, and certain specific hydrologic characteristics must all be present for
an area to be considered a wetland. No wetlands were found within the project
study area.
One surface water, Cattail Branch, is located within the project study area.
Cattail Branch is the stream in question that has been culverted. A North
Carolina Division of Water Quality -Stream Identification Form (Version 3.1) was
completed on Cattail Branch. The Stream Identification Form yielded a score of
_ 37.5 points, which indicates that the stream is perennial (> 30 points). The
Stream Identification Form is included as an attachment. Cattail Branch is in
USGS HUC 03030006090060 and NCDENR sub-basin 03-06-19. It has a
designated NCDENR surface water classification of C: SW.
1 i is d and be un ex andin i
Cattail Branch is a channelized stream that has nc e g p g is
belt width by eroding its channel banks to move laterally from its current
straightened form. Many hardening structures have been placed on both the left
and right banks of the channel to try and thwart channel degradation. These
structures include, concrete lined banks, concrete bag retaining walls, rip-rap,
and yard waste. There is deep rooting vegetation within the riparian buffer off of
the right bank. The left bank represents the left edge of the valley where the toe
of slope of the historic floodplain meets the upslope of a bluff. The left bank with
the exception of where the 150' of culvert has been placed is forested.
Threatened and Endangered Species
Some populations of flora and fauna have been in, or are in, the process of
decline either due to natural forces or their inability to coexist with human
activities. Federal law (under the provisions of the Endangered Species Act of
1973, as amended) requires that any action likely to adversely affect a species
1

classified as federally protected be subject to review by the USFWS. Other
species may receive additional protection under separate state laws.
Plants and animals with federal classifications of Endangered (E), Threatened
(T), Proposed Endangered (PE), and Proposed Threatened (PT) are protected
under the provisions of Section 7 and Section 9 of the Endangered Species Act
of 1973, as amended. As of February 2003, the USFWS lists four federally
protected species for Sampson County (Table 1). A brief description of the
characteristics and habitat requirements for these species along with a
~ conclusion regarding potential project impacts follows.

Y
Date Listed: October 13, 1970
The red-cockaded woodpecker (RCW) is a mostly black and white bird with a
barred back and wings and a large white cheek patch. Compared to other
woodpeckers, RCWs are mid-sized (about eight inches long) and superficially
resemble several other species, such as hairy (Picoides villosus) and downy

(Picoides pubescens) woodpeckers. The RCW male's small red spot behind his
eye inspired the name "cockaded". Otherwise, these birds are nondescript in
appearance, and their habits tend to make them less conspicuous than other
woodpeckers. RCWs establish colonies that include adult and nearly mature
birds in addition to the primary breeding pair.
The species' most notable characteristic is its dependency on old live pine trees,
which the birds excavate in a unique manner. Cavity excavation in live pines
may take a number of years. The birds typically build nests in pine trees at least
30 years of age with 10-inch or greater dbh, and prefer those with heart rot.
Numerous cavities may be started in potential colony sites, and some may be
abandoned before completion. Abandoned cavities may be reoccupied at a later
date if not overtaken by some other inhabitant in the meantime. Occupied trees
are pecked around the cavity entrance to exude sap, which runs down the tree's
bole, creating a distinctively noticeable "candle" effect (USFWS, 2003b).
While pure pine stands are required for nesting, RCWs will use mixed forests,
woodlands, or savannas for foraging. Fifty percent or more of the dominant trees
must be pines 30 years of age or older.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT
Ground surveys for RCW habitat within the project study area were conducted.
There are no stands of old growth pines (preferred nesting habitat) within ahalf-
mile of the project study area. The mixed pine and hardwood forests within the
project study area are too young or contain too few pines to be preferred foraging
habitat.
Schwalbea americans (American chaffseed) Endangered
Family: Scrophulariaceae
Federally Listed: October 1991

Flowers Present: late May-early June
This species is known historically from Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware,
Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Tennessee, and Virginia in
which it has been extirpated. The only confirmed North Carolina population is on
Fort Bragg military base in Hoke County.
The American chaffseed is an erect herb whose stems branch only at the base (if
at all) and grow to a height of 3-8 dm. The entire plant is pubescent, with
upwardly curving hairs. The narrow leaves are alternate, lance-shaped to elliptic,
stalkless, and 2 to 5 centimeters long. The leaves are three veined and become
progressively smaller towards the top. It bears solitary flowers in the axils of the
upper most leaves. The purplish-yellow flowers are arranged into racemes. The
fruits are a long narrow capsule, enclosed in aloose-fitting sack-like structure.
This species occurs in open, moist pine flatwoods, fire maintained savannas,
ecotonal areas between peat wetlands and open grass-sedge systems. Soils are
generally sandy, acidic, and seasonally moist to dry. Fire is important in the
maintenance of open habitat for the American chaffseed.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT
No moist pine flatwoods, fire maintained savannas, or ecotonal areas between
peat wetlands and open grass-sedge systems are found within the project area.
Lindera melissifolia (pondberry) Endangered
Plant Family: Lauraceae
Federally Listed: July 31, 1986
Flowers Present: March -early April
Distribution in N.C.: Bladen, Cumberland, Sampson.

The pondberry is currently known from 19 populations in the southeastern United
States. North Carolina is home to only one known population; this population
occurs on private land in Bladen County.
Pondberry is a deciduous, aromatic shrub that has a distinct sassafras-like odor.
It grows approximately 2 meters tall and spreads through stolons. Leaves in the
pondberry are six to sixteen centimeters long and two to six centimeters wide,
arranged alternately, have rounded bases, and droop downward. It has small
pale yellow flowers that appear in early spring before the leaves. The fruit which
matures in August or September is a bright red drupe.
This plant grows in lowland habitats with hydric soils. These sites are generally
flooded at some time during the growing season. It is associated with the
margins of sinks, ponds, and other like depressions. The soils present are sandy
with high peat content in the subsurface. Areas inhabited by this species show
signs of past fire maintenance and now have shrubby conditions. The plants
generally grow in shady areas but may also be found in areas that receive full
sunlight.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT
~' No lowland habitats with sinks, ponds, or other depressions are present within
the project study area. The soils are sandy but do not contain peat in the
subsurface.
Cultural Resources
Ko & Associates is awaiting a letter from the NCSHPO on its determination of
findings for the site. Ko will provide EI, Inc. with the letter as soon as it has been
received.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
~ This document details a plan to restore approximately 167 linear feet of Cattail Branch in Clinton,
NC. The Site is proposed to be used for mitigation credits by the City of Clinton to offset surface
water impacts from a recently culverted section of Cattail Branch. The proposed mitigation site is
located directly upstream of the portion of Cattail Branch that was recently culverted.
The site is located in Fisher Drive Park with the upstream limit beginning at the tree line and the
~, downstream limit ending at Fisher Road. The site contains approximately 135 existing feet of
Cattail Branch. The portion of Cattail Branch that is within the site has been straightened and
incised in the past and is currently exhibiting signs of channel enlargement through bank failure,
as evidenced by eroded and concrete lined banks. Additionally, the riparian buffer has been
denuded of vegetation and currently displays only scattered trees off of the left bank and no trees
off of the right bank. The dominant vegetation off of each bank is composed of maintained
grasses. The site is located in a highly urbanized watershed in which impervious surfaces and
channel disturbance are high.
The proposed mitigation will 1.) restore Cattail Branch using Natural Channel Design principals
and 2.) restore a vegetated riparian buffer approximately 50 feet of both the left and right banks.
The designed channel is a Rosgen stream type C5, Priority II restoration, which will total
approximately 167 feet.
Restoration of a degraded stream system to a stable condition leads to improvements in the
aquatic and terrestrial communities that depend on the stream. The proposed plan will provide
important benefits by improving the biological integrity of the stream, reducing toxicity from
surrounding nutrient runoff, increasing dissolved oxygen, moderating pH levels, and moderating
water temperatures of the stream through shading by planting a wooded buffer.

Cattail Branch Mitigation Plan
City of Clinton
1.0 PURPOSE
The purpose of the Cattail Branch Mitigation Plan is to detail a plan to restore a section of Cattail
Branch for use as mitigation. Credits obtained by the restoration of Cattail Branch within the site
will be used to offset impacts to Cattail Branch that occurred downstream of Johnson Street. The
impacts which occurred on Cattail Branch are detailed in the permit application of which this
mitigation plan is attached.
2.0 GOALS
The goals of the project include introducing a stable dimension, pattern, profile, and vegetated
riparian buffer along Cattail Branch which will replace the existing degraded, concrete lined
channel. Introducing a stable channel and vegetated riparian buffer will help to increase water
quality in a highly urbanized watershed. This will also increase the amount and diversity of both
aquatic and terrestrial fauna and flora within, upstream of, and downstream of the study area.
3.0 LOCATION
Cattail Branch is located in the City of Clinton in Sampson County, North Carolina (Appendix A,
Figures 1 and 2). The section of Cattail Branch to be. restored is located in Fisher Drive Park.
This section of the channel flows from the southern property line near the tree line northwesterly
for approximately 152 linear feet to the culvert crossing of Fisher Drive.
4.0 WATERSHED
Cattail Branch is located within the Cape Fear River Basin in the United States Geological Survey
(USGS) Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03030006090060, and North Carolina Division of
Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) sub-HUC 03-06-19. The downstream point of the
study area has a contributing watershed area of approximately 376 acres (0.59 mi2).
4.1 Land Use
Land use immediately adjacent to Cattail Branch, within the study area, is dominated by
maintained grounds with fescue as the dominant vegetative species. Land use within Cattail
Branch's watershed is urban in nature with high impervious areas. Land use includes residential
housing, private business, municipal buildings, public buildings and parking lots that channel
stormwater flow into Cattail Branch.
4.2 Future Watershed Impacts
The watershed is currently highly urbanized
change significantly in the foreseeable future.
It is unlikely that watershed characteristics will

5.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS
5.1 Physical Condition of Stream
Cattail Branch flows generally in a northwesterly direction through a public park for approximately
152 linear feet before entering a culvert under Fisher Drive. The channel has been straightened
and incised in the past as depicted in site photographs which are found in Appendix B. Incision
of the channel has led to a high degree of entrenchment of the bankfull flow within the existing
channel. The invert of the arch culvert at Fisher Drive is acting as grade control by keeping the
channel from incising to a greater extent than has already occurred. Incision of the channel has
led to high shear stress on the channel's banks and subsequent bank failure and mass wasting.
Concrete has been placed along the channel's banks in an effort to slow bank erosion. A
conversation with Ms. Lillian Herring, who lives immediately downstream of the project site, and
owns two parcels along Cattail Branch, revealed that the channels were lined with concrete in
1953.
Additional causes of channel degradation can be directly attributed to the loss of mature riparian
vegetation and the urbanization of the contributing watershed. Currently there are virtually no
mature rooted plants that line the channel banks. The loss of these rooted plants has led to
lower soil cohesiveness and consequently a high degree of bank failure. Additionally, the
urbanization of the contributing watershed has increased the impervious surface area, which
decreases the water travel time during precipitation events. This leads to more frequent
recurrence intervals for peak flows in the channel, which causes more frequent high stress
periods on the channel banks and bed.
A North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) Stream Classification Form was completed
for Cattail Branch (Appendix B). Cattail Branch scored a 37.5 on the form which indicates that
the stream is perennial.
5.2 Stream Classification and Substrate Analysis
Cross-sections were surveyed on Cattail Branch within the study area to help determine physical
features of the channel. The cross-sections revealed that the bankfull elevation is entrenched
within the channel, and that the channel has a very low width-to-depth ratio. These two factors
coupled with the fact that the channel has relatively no sinuosity, and the bed material is
comprised of sand indicates a Rosgen channel classification is a G5 type stream.
5.3 Water Quality
e Cattail Branch is classified by NCDWQ as a C: SW. Class C is a best usage classification for
which the waters in this class must be protected for aquatic life propagation and survival, fishing
wildlife, and secondary recreation. SW is a supplemental classification of Swamp Waters of
which have low velocities and other natural characteristics, which are different from adjacent
streams.

5.4 Soils

Cattail Branch Mitigation Plan
City of Clinton
The Soil Survey of Sampson County, North Carolina (USDA, 1985) identifies Bibb and Johnston
soils as well as Marvyn loamy sand as the two soil complexes that underlie or are directly
adjacent to the study area. Bibb and Johnston soils underlie the existing stream channel while
Marvyn loamy sand lies on the extents of the channel.
The Bibb and Johnston soils series are poorly drained soils found in floodplains along major
streams. The Marvyn series is a well drained soil found on short side slopes along pronounced
drainageways.
5.5 Vegetative Communities
Land use within the study area is comprised of maintained grounds used for public recreation.
The maintained grounds are dominated by grass (fescue mostly) and common weeds. There are
eight mature southern red oaks (Quercus falcate) located off of the left bank of the channel within
the first 40 feet.
5.6 Rare, Threatened and Endangered Species and Communities
Some populations of flora and fauna have been in, or are in, the process of decline either due to
natural forces or their inability to coexist with human activities. Federal law (under the provisions
of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended) requires that any action likely to adversely
affect a species classified as federally protected be subject to review by the United States Fish
and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Other species may receive additional protection under separate
state laws.
Plants and animals with federal classifications of Endangered (E), Threatened (T), Proposed
Endangered (PE), and Proposed Threatened (PT) are protected under the provisions of Section
7 and Section 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. As of April 27, 2006, the
USFWS lists four federally protected species for Sampson County (Table 1). A brief description
of the characteristics and habitat requirements for these species along with a conclusion
regarding potential project impacts follows.

Picoides borealis (red-cockaded woodpecker) Endangered
Family: Picidae
Date Listed: October 13, 1970
Cattail Branch Mitigation Plan
City of Clinton
The red-cockaded woodpecker (RCW) is a mostly black and white bird with a barred back and
wings and a large white cheek patch. Compared to other woodpeckers, RCWs are mid-sized
(about eight inches long) and superficially resemble several other species, such as hairy
(Picoides villosus) and downy (Picoides pubescens) woodpeckers. The RCW male's small red
spot behind his eye inspired the name "cockaded". Otherwise, these birds are nondescript in
appearance, and their habits tend to make them less conspicuous than other woodpeckers.
RCWs establish colonies that include adult and nearly mature birds in addition to the primary
breeding pair.
The species' most notable characteristic is its dependency on old live pine trees, which the birds
excavate in a unique manner. Cavity excavation in live pines may take a number of years. The
birds typically build nests in pine trees at least 30 years of age with 10-inch or greater dbh, and
prefer those with heart rot. Numerous cavities may be started in potential colony sites, and some
may be abandoned before completion. Abandoned cavities may be reoccupied at a later date if
not overtaken by some other inhabitant in the meantime. Occupied trees are pecked around the
cavity entrance to exude sap, which runs down the tree's bole, creating a distinctively noticeable
"candle" effect (USFWS, 2003b).
While pure pine stands are required for nesting, RCWs will use mixed forests, woodlands, or
savannas for foraging. Fifty percent or more of the dominant trees must be pines 30 years of age
or older.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT
Ground reconnaissance for RCW habitat within the project study area were conducted. There
are no stands of old growth pines (preferred nesting habitat) within ahalf--mile of the project study
area. The scattered pine and hardwood forests adjacent to the project study area are too young
or contain too few pines to be preferred foraging habitat.
Schwa/bea americana (American chaffseed) Endangered
Family: Scrophulariaceae
Federally Listed: October 1991
Flowers Present: late May-early June

1

This species is known historically from Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland,
Massachusetts, New York, Tennessee, and Virginia in which it has been extirpated. The only
confirmed North Carolina population is on Fort Bragg military base in Hoke County.
The American chaffseed is an erect herb whose stems branch only at the base (if at all) and grow
to a height of 3-8 decimeters. The entire plant is pubescent, with upwardly curving hairs. The
narrow leaves are alternate, lance-shaped to elliptic, stalkless, and 2 to 5 centimeters long. The
leaves are three veined and become progressively smaller towards the top. It bears solitary
flowers in the axils of the upper most leaves. The purplish-yellow flowers are arranged into
racemes. The fruits are a long narrow capsule, enclosed in aloose-fitting sack-like structure.
This species occurs in open, moist pine flatwoods, fire maintained savannas, ecotonal areas
between peat wetlands and open grass-sedge systems. Soils are generally sandy, acidic, and

seasonally moist to dry. Fire is important in the maintenance of open habitat for the American
chaffseed.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT
No moist pine flatwoods, fire maintained savannas, or ecotonal areas between peat wetlands and
open grass-sedge systems are found within the project area.
Lindera melissifolia (pondberry) Endangered
Plant Family: Lauraceae
Federally Listed: July 31, 1986
Flowers Present: March -early April
Distribution in N.C.: Bladen, Cumberland, Sampson.
The pondberry is currently known from 19 populations in the southeastern United States. North
Carolina is home to only one known population; this population occurs on private land in Bladen
County.
Pondberry is a deciduous, aromatic shrub that has a distinct sassafras-like odor. It grows
approximately 2 meters tall and spreads through stolons. Leaves in the pondberry are six to
sixteen centimeters long and two to six centimeters wide, arranged alternately, have rounded
bases, and droop downward. It has small pale yellow flowers that appear in early spring before
the leaves. The fruit which matures in August or September is a bright red drupe.
This plant grows in lowland habitats with hydric soils. These sites are generally flooded at some
time during the growing season. It is associated with the margins of sinks, ponds, and other like
depressions. The soils present are sandy with high peat content in the subsurface. Areas
inhabited by this species show signs of past fire maintenance and now have shrubby conditions.
The plants generally grow in shady areas but may also be found in areas that receive full
sunlight.
~~ BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT
No lowland habitats with sinks, ponds, or other depressions are present within the project study
area. The soils are sandy but do not contain peat in the subsurface.
6.0 REFERENCE CONDITIONS
6.1 Existing Channel
A section of Cattail Branch directly upstream of the study area has a mature vegetated riparian
buffer on much of the banks. This section of Cattail Branch displays some areas of stable
hydraulic dimensions. Across-section through a riffle area and a longitudinal profile were
completed on a reach of the channel approximately 50 feet upstream of the tree line (the tree line
is the upstream most point of the study area). Information from this reach of Cattail Branch was
used to verify the bankfull discharge through the site. The bankfull discharge through this reach
was determined to be 22 ft3/s.

6.2 Reference Reach
Cattail Branch Mitigation Plan
City of Clinton
Restoration designs use reaches of stable channels and buffers within the same physiographic
region for design guidance. These reference reaches provide natural channel design
dimensionless ratios that are based on measured morphological relationships from stable
channels.
One channel, the UT to Ironhill Branch, was deemed suitable as a reference for the restoration of
Cattail Branch. The UT to Irohnill Branch is a sand bed system with a low slope (0.2 percent), a
moderately high width-to-depth ratio (15.2), high entrenchment ratio (20.4), and moderately high
sinuosity (1.3). The UT to Ironhill Branch has a Rosgen stream classification of C5. A detailed
morphological description of the UT to Irohnhill Branch can be found in Table 2. Site
photographs and a North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Stream Classification Form
are located in Appendix C.
7.0 PROPOSED CONDITIONS
The proposed stream restoration was designed using Natural Channel Design methodologies.
~, Design parameters were obtained from existing conditions on-site (bankfull discharge), reference
reach conditions off-site (dimensionless morphological relationships) and from professional
experience of designing and constructing numerous sand bed channels throughout North
' Carolina. The primary goal of the project is to design and construct a channel which will convey
its flow and sediment load through the restoration reach without aggrading or degrading over
time, while improving aquatic and terrestrial habitat and water quality.
~j 7.1 Stream Restoration (Natural Channel Design)
Cattail Branch is designed as a C5 type channel with a low slope (0.13 percent), a moderately
high width-to-depth ratio (12.5), moderately high entrenchment ratio (4.3), and moderately low
sinuosity (1.1). Morphological characteristics of the design channel can be found in Table 2. The
design plan view depicting existing conditions and proposed plan view conditions are depicted on
Figure 3 in Appendix A. The proposed longitudinal profile and cross-section are depicted on
Figure 4. The design channel will increase stream length from the existing 152 linear feet to
almost 167 linear feet.
A Priority II restoration of the designed C5 type channel will be required because the bankfull
elevation is below existing ground. Priority II restorations require a floodplain to be excavated at
the bankfull discharge elevation through the project. The designed floodplain width averages 50
feet, while the floodprone width (the width of open floodplain at two times maximum bankfull
depth) averages 60 feet.
Stream Structure and Habitat Enhancement
One of the main components of the restoration of Cattail Branch is to enhance aquatic habitat.
Log structures such as a log cross-vane, log vanes, and rootwads are incorporated into the
design to add woody debris, and shading to the stream channel. These structures should
enhance the ability for aquatic fauna to propagate and spread up and downstream of the Site.
Additionally, these structures will serve a vital role in stabilizing stream banks and creating a riffle
pool sequence through the channel which will help dissipate flow energy and provide habitat for
macrobenthos.

' Cattail Branch Mitigation Plan
City of Clinton
' 7.2 Declaration of Restrictions
The City of Clinton will place a Declaration of Restrictions on the restored section of Cattail
Branch and lands adjacent to Cattail Branch. The Restrictions will be on lands approximately 50
' feet from the top of both banks. The Restrictions will require exclusion of buildings, impervious
areas, vegetation removal, or other detrimental actions to the restored stream and riparian buffer
that fall within the area described in the Restrictions. All properties that are adjacent to the area
' to be restored are currently owned by the City of Clinton, therefore no negotiations with private or
corporate landowners will be required. Personnel with the City have approved the restoration of
Cattail Branch and approved placing the Restrictions on said lands in perpetuity. A depiction of
' the proposed boundary for the Restrictions and adjacent property boundaries is shown in
Appendix A, Figure 5.
7.3 Sediment Analysis
' The primary goal of this project is to construct a stable channel on Cattail Branch that will
transport its sediment and flow such that, over time, the channel neither aggrades nor degrades.
' Stability is achieved when the sediment input to the design reach equals the sediment output.
One of the primary functions of determining the capacity of the channel to transport its sediment
load is stream power. Below is a discussion of both sediment concentration and stream power
' and their relation to stability in the design.
Sediment Concentration
The Engelund-Hansen function was used to analyze sediment transport capacity through the
designed channel. The basic principal of the Engelund-Hansen function is to determine if
sediment input to the design stream equals the sediment output from the design stream. If
sediment input equals or is adequately close to sediment output then the channel is considered a
stable channel in equilibrium. Below is the Enguland-Hansen function:
g=0.535D'~2S3~zVQ/d
' where;
g =sediment discharge (Ibs/s)
' D =water depth (ft)
S =channel slope (ft/ft)
V =average velocity (ft/s)
' Q =discharge (cubic ft/s)
d =median particle diameter of stream bed material (ft)
Stable reference reaches at off-site locations had to be Used for sediment input calculations since
the existing stream channel is unstable. The reference reach used (UT to Ironhill Branch) had
the same stream type and similar slope, when compared to the design channel, so that accurate
comparisons could be made. Astable reference reach can be used because the sediment input
' is in balance with sediment output over geologic time. In most cases, the bankfull discharge of a
reference reach is different from that of the design reach so, instead of using sediment discharge
(Ibs/s) for the comparison, sediment concentration (Ibs/ft3) is used in the analysis because the
function of discharge is set equal per cubic foot (ft3). Below is the equation for sediment
concentration:
a KO & ASSOCIATES, P. C. $
Consullen~, En~inrers

Cattail Branch Mitigation Plan
City of Clinton
SC = g/Q
where;
SC =sediment concentration (Ibs/ft3)
g =sediment discharge (Ibs/s)
Q =discharge (ft3/s)
' The sediment concentration input and output for the UT to Ironhill Branch is in equilibrium and is
equal to 0.05 Ibs/ft3. The sediment output for the proposed design of Cattail Branch is 0.04
Ibs/ft3. The proposed design sediment concentration is similar to the reference reach sediment
' concentration, therefore the design channel is considered stable and in equilibrium.
Stream Power
A stream power analysis was used as a tool to study the capacity of the design channel to
transport its sediment load. To determine if the restoration design stream power will adequately
convey sediment loads, analyses of reference stream power and proposed conditions (design)
' stream power was completed.
The UT to Ironhill Branch has a unit stream power of 0.12 Ibs/ft s. As previously stated, the UT to
Ironhill Branch is a stable channel that is in equilibrium and adequately conveys it sediment load,
' so it can be assumed that Ironhill Branch's unit stream power is adequate to transport its
sediment load. The Cattail Branch design displays a unit stream power of 0.13 Ibs/ft s which
corresponds closely to the UT to Ironhill Branch's unit stream power. Using the UT to Ironhill as
' a reference, it is determined that the Cattail Branch design has an adequate capacity to transport
its sediment load.
' 7.4 HEC-12AS Analysis
Given that the project involves modifications to a stream channel, it is important to analyze the
effect of these changes on flood elevations. Floodwater elevations were analyzed using HEC-
' RAS. HEC-RAS is a software package designed to perform one-dimensional, steady flow,
analysis of water surface profiles for a network of natural and constructed channels.
' HEC-RAS uses two equations, energy and/or momentum, depending upon the water surface
profile. The model is based on the energy equation. The energy losses are evaluated by friction
(Manning's equation) and contraction/expansion (coefficient multiplied by the change in velocity
' head). The momentum equation is used in situations where the water surface profile rapidly
varies, such as hydraulic jumps and stream junctions.
Backwater analysis was performed for the existing and proposed conditions for both bankfull and
100-year discharges. In addition to steady flow data, geometric data is also required to run HEC-
RAS. Geometric data consists of establishing the connectivity of the river system, which includes
cross-section data, reach lengths, energy loss coefficients (friction losses, contraction, and
' expansion losses), and stream junction information.
Bankfull Discharge Analysis
Discharge rates for the design have been evaluated with data obtained from onsite conditions
and compared with Hydraulic Geometry Relationships for Rural North Carolina Coastal Plain
Streams [regional curve] (Doll et al. 2006). The bankfull discharge for Cattail Branch within the
Site was determined to be 22 ft3. The existing and proposed geometries were evaluated at the
a KO & ASSOCIATES, P. C. 9
' , Cwisnlting Engineers

' Cattail Branch Mitigation Plan
City of Clinton
' bankfull discharge rates using HEC-RAS (USAGE 2004). The analysis supports the field
identification of the existing bankfull area within a close approximation and confirms the proposed
channel will adequately carry the discharge at bankfull stage.
No-Rise
Analyses were performed for the existing and proposed conditions for the bankfull and 100-year
discharges. Geometric data and steady flow data are both required to run HEC-RAS. The 100-
' year discharges were determined using the USGS Coastal Plain Rural Regression Equations
(USGS et al. 1996). The bankfull discharge was determined using onsite indicators.
Geometric data consists of establishing the connectivity of the river system. Such data includes:
cross-sectional data, reach lengths, energy loss coefficients (friction losses, contraction and
expansion losses), and stream junction information.
The analysis indicates that the proposed channel geometry would not increase the 100-year flood
elevations outside of the project area.
' 8.0 STRUCTURES AND CHANNEL PLUGS
A number of different structures will be used to control grade, stabilize the pattern, profile and
' dimension, and enhance aquatic habitat. These structures will include log cross vane-rootwad
combinations, log vanes, rootwads, and floodplain interceptors. Some boulders will be used for
grade control, but the use of boulders will be minimized because the project is in a sandbed
system and the closest rock quary will be a considerable distance from the site. Some woody
' materials for structures will come from on-site, but the majority of woody material will be obtained
from off-site.
' Cross vanes direct the flow away from the stream banks towards the middle of the channel
(Rosgen, 2002). This structure creates a scour pool below, while maintaining the grade for the
upstream portion. Rock cross vanes will be used at the top and bottom of the Site and at drop
' structures where a stable grade control point is required. These structures will imitate many of
the natural drops, such as large roots crossing the channel that act as grade stabilization in
naturally stable streams.
' Log vanes will be used to direct the flow away from the bank and toward the center of the
channel. Log vanes will be used to introduce woody material into the channel to provide habitat
and a food source for aquatic life. Without this introduction it would be many years before the
planted saplings would be able to provide the stream with this habitat feature.
Rootwads will be used in the channel for habitat enhancement, pool development, and bank
' protection. Rootwads are a good source for introducing woody material back into the stream
channel which provides both cover and a food source to aquatic fauna. Rootwads enhance the
development of pools when placed in outside bends by creating a downwell of water during high
flows, which leads to bed scour and pool formation. Rootwads also act as temporary hardening
' structures which help to secure the bank that it is placed on during high flows.
Floodplain interceptors will be used where wet seeps intersect the channel. A floodplain
' interceptor uses riprap, filter fabric and vegetative plantings to stabilize banks where sheet flow
enters the stream.

Channel plugs will be used where the proposed channel intersects the existing channel. The
plug will be composed of impervious select material that will deter channel avulsions and bank
failures.
9.0 PLANTING PLAN/RIPARIAN BUFFER
Seeding, mulching, live staking, and vegetation planting will be utilized to stabilize the restored
streambanks and buffer. All disturbed areas will be seeded with anon-invasive grass species
and either mulched or matted. Biodegradable matting will provide immediate protection for the
streambanks against shear stress while the plantings develop a root mass. In time, the plantings
will replace the matting in providing stability.
Plantings will be used for streambank stabilization and buffer establishment and will eventually
provide shade and wildlife habitat along the restored stream. Plantings will quickly develop a root
mass and help protect streambanks and floodplains from erosive forces while absorbing
nutrients. Plantings will be established within the entire easement area.
Restoration of floodplain, terrace, and stream-side habitat allows for development and expansion
of characteristic species across the landscape. Ecotonal changes between community types
contribute to diversity and provide secondary benefits, such as enhanced feeding and nesting
opportunities for mammals, birds, amphibians, and other wildlife.
Reference Forest Ecosystem (RFE) data, onsite observations, and community descriptions from
Classification of the Natural Communities of North Carolina (Schafale and Weakley 1990) were
used to develop the primary plant community associations that will be promoted during
community restoration activities. Community associations that will be utilized to develop primary
plant community associations include 1) Coastal Plain Levee Forest (Brownwater subtype), 2)
Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwood Forest, and 3)stream-side assemblage (Appendix A, Figure
6). Planting elements are listed below.

' The Coastal Plain Levee Forest is targeted for areas of the Site which are located on the terrace
and terrace side slope. These species were selected due to their ability to withstand drought
conditions, due to the well-drained sandy soils present within the Site, as well as tolerate
' moderate amounts of moisture. These species will be planted as bare roots.
The Coastal Plain Bottomwood Hardwood Forest is targeted for the excavated floodplain. These
species were selected for their ability to withstand floodflows and live in conditions of peridoc
saturation. These species will be planted as bare roots.
' The Stream-Side Assemblage is targeted for the stream banks along Cattail Branch. Trees and
shrubs in the Stream-Side Assemblage include species with high value for sediment stabilization,
rapid growth rate, and the ability to withstand hydraulic forces associated with bankfull flow and
overbank flood events. Stream-side trees and shrubs will be planted within 15 feet of the channel
' throughout the meander belt-width. Shrub elements will be planted along the reconstructed
stream banks, concentrated along outer bends. These species will be planted as live stakes.
Species selected for planting will be dependent upon availability of local seedling sources. Bare-
root seedlings of tree species will be planted within specified map areas at a density of
approximately 680 stems per acre on 8-foot centers. Shrub species in the Stream-Side
Assemblage will be planted at a density of 2720 stems per acre on 4-foot centers.

10.0 MONITORING PLAN
10.1 Stream and Vegetation Monitoring
' The stability of the stream channel and riparian buffer plantings will be monitored annually for at
least five years or until success criteria are satisfied. Monitoring protocols will be based upon the
Stream Mitigation Guidelines (USAGE et al., 2003) and will include photo documentation,
' channel stability analysis, plant survival, and ecological function of the restored stream. The Site
will be visually inspected after construction and planting. An "as-built" report will be provided to
the permitting agencies within 90 days of completion of all restoration activities. The "as-built" will
include final plan view, species composition and numbers, and photograph reference points.
The following are specifics of monitoring protocols that will be followed for the Site.
Representative cross-sections will be taken from one (1) riffle and one (1) pool. The monitoring
' protocol calls for cross-sections at least every 20 bankfull widths, but Cattail Branch is not 20
bankfull widths in length so the above cross-sections will be completed. A profile will be
completed on the entire length of restored stream. The profile will include at a minimum thalweg,
' water surface, bankfull, and structure locations. A pebble count will not be completed because
the channel has a sand substrate, and channel coarsening is not anticipated. Photo
documentation will be completed for the entire section of channel to document changing
conditions. Because the easement area is very small (0.43 acres) it is proposed that one
vegetation monitoring plot be completed. The plot will be 10 meters by 10 meters in dimension
and will span each vegetation planting zone.
A monitoring report will be prepared annually for submission to regulatory agencies. The report
will address stream stability and vegetative success aspects of the project. If remedial action is
required, it will be identified in the report and implemented as soon as practical.
r 10.2 Stream and Vegetation Success Criteria
Stream Success Criteria
Success criteria for stream restoration will be based upon criteria established in the 2003 Stream
Mitigation Guidelines (USAGE et al.), but will include 1) successful classification of the reach as a
functioning stream system (Rosgen 1996) and 2) channel variables indicative of a stable stream
' system.
The channel configuration will be measured on an annual basis in order to track changes in
' channel geometry, profile, or substrate. These data will be utilized to determine the success in
restoring stream channel stability. Specifically, the width-to-depth ratio should characterize a C
type or borderline E-/C-type channel, bank-height ratios indicative of a stable or moderately
unstable channel, and minimal changes in cross-sectional area, channel width, and/or bank
' erosion along the monitoring reach. In addition, channel abandonment and/or shoot cutoffs must
not occur and sinuosity values must remain relatively constant. The field indicator of bankfull will
be described in each monitoring year and indicated on a representative channel cross-section
figure. If the stream channel is down-cutting or the channel width is enlarging due to bank
erosion, additional bank or slope stabilization methods will be employed.
Stream substrate is not expected to coarsen over time; therefore, pebble counts are not
proposed as part of the stream success criteria.

Cwtstr!litrg ln~;ineers

[~
Cattail Branch Mitigation Plan
City of Clinton
Visual assessment of in-stream structures will be conducted to determine if failure has occurred.
' Failure of a structure may be indicated by collapse of the structure, undermining of the structure,
abandonment of the channel around the structure, and/or stream flow beneath the structure.
A crest gauge will be installed on-site to document stream flows. Per Stream Mitigation
Guidelines, it is required that the design channel experience a minimum of two (2) bankfull events
within the five year monitoring period.
Vegetation Success Criteria
Success criteria for vegetation will be based upon criteria established in the 2003 Stream
Mitigation Guidelines (USAGE et al.), Success criteria have been established to verify that the
' vegetation component supports community elements necessary for forest development. Success
criteria are dependent upon the density and growth of "Character Tree Species." Character Tree
Species include planted species along with species identified through visual inventory of an
approved reference (relatively undisturbed) forest community used to orient the Site design. All
canopy tree species planted and identified in the reference forest will be utilized to define
"Character Tree Species" as termed in the success criteria.
t An average density of 320 stems per acre of Character Tree Species must be surviving in the
first three monitoring years. Subsequently, 290 Character Tree Species per acre must be
surviving in year 4 and 260 Character Tree Species per acre in year 5.
' 10.3 Stream and Vegetation Contingency
Stream Contingency
In the event that stream success criteria are not fulfilled, a mechanism for contingency will be
implemented. Stream contingency may include, but may not be limited to 1) structure repair
' and/or installation; 2) repair of dimension, pattern, and/or profile variables; and 3) bank
stabilization. The method of contingency is expected to be dependent upon stream variables that
are not in compliance with success criteria. Primary concerns, which may jeopardize stream
success, include 1) structure failure, and 2) bank erosion.
In the event that structures are compromised, the affected structure will be repaired, maintained,
or replaced. Once the structure is repaired or replaced, it must function to stabilize adjacent
stream banks and/or maintain grade control within the channel. Structures which remain intact,
but exhibit flow around, beneath, or through the header/footer will be repaired by excavating a
trench on the upstream side of the structure and reinstalling filter fabric and No.57 stone.
' Structures which have been compromised, resulting in shifting or collapse of header/footer, will
be removed and replaced with a structure suitable for Site flows.
In the event that severe bank erosion occurs within the Site, resulting in elevated width-to-depth
ratios, contingency measures to reduce bank erosion and width-to-depth ratio will be
implemented. Bank erosion contingency measures may include the installation of log-vane weirs
and/or other bank stabilization measures. If the resultant bank erosion induces shoot cutoffs or
' channel abandonment, a channel may be excavated which will reduce shear stress to stable
values.

Vegetation Contingency
If vegetation success criteria are not achieved based on average density calculations from the
monitoring plot over the entire restoration area, supplemental planting may be performed with
tree species approved by regulatory agencies. Supplemental planting will be performed as
needed until achievement of vegetation success criteria.

A tentative phasing schedule for the proposed project is presented below; certain tasks may be
dependant on seasonal conditions.
