Streambank Stabilization Project
South Fork Mitchell River Watershed
Everhart Reach
Prepared By:
Will Harman, Natural Channel Design
Rachel Smith, CADD
Dani Wise, GIS
Dick Everhart, Field Data Collection and Site Assessment
Goals and Objectives:
• Improve fish habitat.
• Stabilize eroding streambanks using native materials.
• Improve aesthetics.
Cause of Streambank Erosion:
Streambank erosion occurring in the outside of the meander bend (see aerial photo) is
primarily caused by two factors:
1. The utility company maintains a power line crossing over the stream and routinely
removes all vegetation from the streambank.
2. The stream is moderately incised with a bank height to bankfull height ratio of about
1.3. This increases shear stress against the bank because flows at bankfull are not
allowed to flow over the floodplain. There are also other geotechnical processes that
make high banks more susceptible to erosion.
The, stream has downcut to bedrock; therefore further incision is unlikely. For this reason,
grade control is not part of the design.
Project Length:
The stream length to be treated is 250 feet.
Conceptual Design and Construction:
Based on the existing condition survey and comparison with stable reference reaches, the
Everhart Stream Reach on the South Fork Mitchell River is moving towards stability
rather than instability. The bankfull dimension, pattern and profile are consistent with
reference reach surveys in the same hydrophysiographic region. Therefore, this project is
one of streambank stabilization rather than a full-scale natural channel reconstruction.
Streambank stabilization will consist of the following procedures. Drawings and design
specifications are included. A large hydraulic track hoe with a hydraulic thumb will be
used to complete the installation.
1. Woody vegetation and sod mats will be removed from the streambank and stock piled
on the adjacent field (terrace).
2. The bank will be graded to include a 5-foot bankfull bench and 2:1 streambank
slopes.
3. At one spot in the bank, an access ramp will be created to allow the track hoe to
deliver rock into the channel.
4. Rock Vanes and "J' Hook Vanes will be installed
5. Root Wads will be installed around rock vanes and other areas vulnerable to erosion.
6. The access ramp will be re-graded to include the bankfull bench and bank slope.
7. The banks will be re-vegetated with existing sod mats and transplants. The area with
the power lines will be re-vegetated with low growing shrubs such as silky dogwood
(Corpus amomum). See the attached sheets for seeding and re-vegetation
specifications.
8. Excess soil from the streambanks will be spread out in the adjacent field and seeded.
Monitoring and Evaluation:
Two permanent cross sections have been established across the project reach. Each cross
section along with a longitudinal profile will be re-surveyed after storms. In addition,
bank pins will be installed to measure post stabilization erosion rates and compared to
pre-stabilization erosion rates. Downstream sampling stations will continue monitoring
sediment transport loads.
Streamside Seeding Specifications
The work shall consist of preparing the area, furnishing and placing seed, sprigs, mulch, fertilizer,
inoculate, soil amendments and anchoring mulch in the designated areas as specified; streambanks, access
areas and other areas disturbed by construction activities.
Seedbed Preparation
On sites where equipment can be operated safely the seedbed shall be adequately loosened and smoothed.
Disking or cultipacking or both may be necessary. On sites where equipment cannot operate safely, the
seedbed shall be prepared by hand scarifying to provide a roughened surface so that seed will stay in place.
If seeding is done immediately following construction, seedbed preparation may not be required except on
compacted, polished or freshly cut areas.
Fertilizing
Evenly distribute lime and fertilizer over the area to be seeded. Uniformly mix lime and fertilizer into the
top 3 inches of the soil. Where surface materials are predominately gravel and/or cobble, no incorporation
is required Apply lime and fertilizer according to soil test results or at the following rates.

Permanent. Seeding -Use in combination with woody plantings on the upslope side of the riparian
planting. Spring planting time is ideal for native perennial warm season grasses. These grasses should be
used when enhancing wildlife habitat is a goal of, the riparian planting. Spring planted seed should be
treated with a cold wet chill process to maximize germination. Fall plantings should be planted with a
lightly sowed cool season annual to hold the soil and do not need the wet chill process. Omit fertilizer
when establishing native grasses

Mulching
Mulching should be performed within 48 hours of seeding. Grain straw mulch should be applied on seeded
areas at a rate of 3 bales per 1000 square feet or 1.5 tons per acre. Apply mulch uniformly. Anchor mulch
with a mulch crimper, asphalt tackifier or appropriate mulch netting.
Streamside Woody Vegetation Establishment
This work consist of securing and planting permanent woody vegetation using booth rooted and unrooted stock.
Care and Handling
Planting stock should be stored in a cool moist environment or heeled in. Roots of bareroot stock shall be kept
moist during planting operations. Container or potted stock shall be kept moist at all times.
Site Preparation
On recently graded sites use temporary seedings, anchored mulch or erosion control fabrics to provide surface
protection until woody vegetation becomes established. Sod may be killed by non-selective herbicides the year
previous to planting stock (follow all federal, state and local regulations in the use of herbicides). When hand
planting; scalp an area at least 3 feet in diameter and 2-4 inches deep. Place plant in the center of the scalped
area. On sites where equipment cannot be operated safely and there are concerns about potential erosion use a
non-selective herbicide to kill vegetation in a 36 inch wide circle or 36 inch wide strip and plant in the center of
the killed vegetation. If the site is a row crop site, reasonably free of weeds, plant stock in the stubble without
prior preparation. Sites with undesirable brush will need initial treatments to facilitate planting and follow-up
treatments to prevent reencroachment.
Planting
Plant rooted stock in a vertical position with the root collar approximately 1/2 inch below the soil surface. The
planting trench or hole must be deep enough and wide enough to permit roots to spread out and down without J-
rooting. Insert dormant cuttings to the depth required to reach adequate soil moisture, leaving 2 to 3 buds above
ground. After planting pack soil around each plant firmly to remove air pockets.

POLLUTION CONTROL
SCOPE
The work shall consist of installing measures or performing work to
control erosion and minimize the production of sediment and other
pollutants to water and air during construction operations.
EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL MEASURES AND WORKS
The measures and works shall include, but are not limited to, the
following:
The excavation and moving of soil materials shall be scheduled so
that the smallest possible areas will be unprotected from erosion
for the shortest time feasible.
Seeding to protect disturbed areas.
Mulching to provide temporary protection of soil surfaces from
erosion.
Diversions to divert water away from work areas and to collect
runoff from work areas for treatment and safe disposition. These
works are temporary and shall be removed and the area restored to
its original state when they are no longer needed or permanent
measures are installed.
Sediment basins to settle and filter out sediment from eroding
areas to protect properties and streams below the construction
site. These works are temporary and shall be removed and the area
restored to its original state when they are no longer needed or
permanent measures are installed.
Straw bale filters or geotextile sediment fences to trap sediment
from areas of limited runoff. Sediment filters shall be properly
anchored to prevent erosion under them. These works are temporary
and shall be removed and the area restored to its original state
when they are no longer needed or permanent measures are
installed.
Waterways for the safe disposal of runoff from fields, diversions
and other structures or measures. These works are temporary and
shall be removed and the area restored to its original state when
they are no longer needed or permanent measures are installed.
MAINTENANCE, REMOVAL, AND RESTORATION
All pollution control measures and works shall be
adequately maintained in a functional condition as long as
needed during the construction operation. All temporary
measures shall be removed and the site restored to as
nearly original conditions as practicable.

Mr. Dick Everhart, 499 Zephyr-Mt. Park Road, State Road, NC 28676, is requesting a letter of
concurrence from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) to obtain a 404 permit
from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The NCWRC has reviewed information provided by the
applicant, conducted several site visits and are familiar with habitat values of the project area. These
comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et.
seq.) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d).
Mr. Everhart proposes to restore eroding stream banks and improve fish habitat along 250 linear
feet of the South Fork Mitchell River through his property. Plans are to construct one rock vane, two J-
hook rock vanes and install 5 root wads to stabilize eroding banks to reduce sedimentation and improve
fish habitat.
The project will impact the South Fork Mitchell River which is not NCWRC Designated Public
Mountain Trout Water. However, the stream at this location does support smallmouth bass, redbreast
sunfish, a small brown trout population, and numerous minnow species: This project is part of a larger,
long range effort by several Federal and State agencies to improve water quality and fish habitat in the
South Fork Mitchell River.
We believe this project is well designed and should have a positive impact on aquatic resources.
Therefore, we do not object to the project as proposed.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you have any questions
