New River Basin - CU# 05050001 - Alleghany County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Tsomides:
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. (Wildlands) has reviewed the Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) comments
from the Draft Monitoring Year 4 report for the Glade Creek II Mitigation Project. The following Wildlands
responses to DMS’s report comments are noted in italics lettering.
DMS comment; 1.2.6 – Wetland Assessment – In light of the wetland gauge data showing success for
100% of the growing season (169 consecutive days), can Wildlands describe the general appearance of
the wetland with regard to standing water (or lack of)?
Wildlands response; Each time that the groundwater gage was downloaded in MY4, standing water was
observed in the area surrounding the gage in Wetland D. This is corroborated by the groundwater gage
data which plots water levels above the ground’s surface for a majority of the growing season. Text has
been added to section 1.2.6.
DMS comment; 1.2.7 – Wetland Areas of Concern – During a recent site visit with the IRT, it was
questioned whether or not the Wetland A pocket preservation wetlands along the preservation
section of UT to Glade still existed on the site. In the absence of another delineation, does Wildlands
feel there are still wetlands visually apparent where Wetland A is shown on the map? If not, it should
be noted as a possible change in site conditions in that area since the delineation was performed.
Wildlands response; Absence of a formal delineation, Wetland A visually appears to exist as small
terraces adjacent to the channel of UT to Glade Creek with hydrology influenced by the tributary’s water
table. Netted chain fern (Woodwardia aereolata) was the predominate herbaceous plant observed at the
time of the most recent site walk (December 2019) which is a facultative wetland (FACW) plant.
DMS comment; 1.2.7 – Wetland Areas of Concern – It was noted during the recent IRT site visit that, in
the wetland restoration area (Wetland D), that woody vegetation that was described in the mitigation
plan and part of the construction planting plans, seemed lacking and not meeting performance
standards. Since there is no plot in wetland D, there is no data. However, can Wildlands offer a visual
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. phone 704-332-7754 fax 704-332-3306 1430 S. Mint Street, # 104 Charlotte, NC 28203
assessment of the percentage of wetland lacking planned vegetation, versus the total wetland area on
the site?
Wildlands response; Based on a visual assessment, the area lacking woody vegetation corresponds with
the area normally observed to have standing water in Wetland D. This accounts for approximately 6
percent of the total wetland area on the Site (roughly 0.05 acre/0.84 acre). Text has been added to
section 1.2.7.
DMS comment; Table 3 project contact table – Please delete entries where there is no contractor
listed.
Wildlands response; Table 3 has been updated.
Enclosed please find two (2) hard copies and one (1) electronic copy on CD of the Final Monitoring
Report and all digital support files. Please contact me at 704-941-9093 if you have any questions.

Glade Creek II Restoration Project
Monitoring Year 4 Annual Report – FINAL i
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. (Wildlands) completed design and construction management on a design-
bid-build project at the Glade Creek II Restoration Site (Site) for the North Carolina Division of Mitigation
Services (DMS) in Alleghany County, NC. The project components included restoring and enhancing
2,579 linear feet (LF) and preserving 129 LF of perennial stream, restoring 0.16 acre of wetlands, and
preserving 0.84 acre of existing wetland. Riparian buffers were also established by removing exotic
invasive plants and installing a variety of native vegetation. The Site is expected to generate 2,166.467
stream mitigation units (SMUs) and 0.33 wetland mitigation units (WMUs) for the Glade Creek
watershed (Table 1). The Site is located off US Highway 21 in the northern portion of Alleghany County,
NC in the New River Basin, eight-digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 05050001 and the 14-digit HUC
05050001030020 (Figure 1). The project streams consist of one unnamed tributary, UT to Glade Creek,
and two reaches along Glade Creek mainstem (Reach 1 and Reach 2) (Figure 2). Glade Creek flows into
the Little River four miles northeast of the Site near Fox Trot Lane in the Town of Hooker, North
Carolina. The land adjacent to the streams and wetlands is primarily maintained for forestry production
of White Pine trees.
The Glade Creek II Restoration Project is located within a DMS Targeted Local Watershed (TLW) (Brush
Creek, HUC 05050001030020), as documented within the 2009 River Basin Restoration Priorities (RBRP)
for the New River Basin. Furthermore, the project site is located within Middle Glade Creek, a priority
subwatershed for stream and wetland restoration (and habitat protection), as identified within 2006
Local Watershed Plan and Preliminary Project Atlas for Little River and Brush Creek. Primary stressors
within the Brush Creek TLW and the Middle Glade Creek subwatershed include stream channelization,
livestock access, degraded riparian buffers, and Christmas tree farming. Glade Creek is also classified as
a trout water and the project will help improve trout habitat in the watershed.
The project goals established in the mitigation plan addendum (Confluence, 2013) were completed with
careful consideration of goals and objectives described in the RBRP and to address stressors identified in
the LWP. The following project goals established include:
• Improve water quality by repairing eroding stream banks and establishing riparian buffers;
• Improve the community structure of the buffers;
• Improve stream function and habitat by re-establishing stream-to-floodplain connections;
• Restore long-term stability through the restoration of channel dimension, pattern and profile;
• Improve in-stream habitat using in-stream structures; and
• Remove exotic invasive plant species.
The Site construction was completed between December 2015 and April 2016. Planting was completed
in February 2016. The as-built survey was completed in January 2016 with Monitoring Year (MY) 0
beginning in May 2016. Storm repairs were completed prior to the end of the construction phase in April
2016. MY4 activities occurred between March and October 2019.
The MY4 morphological surveys and visual assessments indicate that the majority of Glade Creek
appears stable and functioning as designed; however, sediment deposition has caused a loss of channel
function along a portion of UT to Glade Creek. The MY4 vegetation assessment resulted in an average
planted stem density of 519 stems per acre and is exceeding the final success criterion of 260 stems per
acre. In addition, five out of six plots individually met this requirement. The Site’s groundwater gage met
the performance standard for MY4. The bankfull performance standard was met for the project in MY2.
The MY4 visual assessment revealed a few areas of concern including pockets of invasive species
present on the Site and isolated areas of bank scour. The continual maintenance of these areas of
concern would benefit the Site long term and decrease additional impacts to the project.

Section 1: PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Site is a design-bid-build contract with DMS in Alleghany County, NC. The Site is located in the New
River Basin, eight-digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 05050001 and the 14-digit HUC 05050001030020
(Figure 1). Located in the Blue Ridge Belt (USGS,2016), Blue Ridge physiographic province, the project
watershed includes primarily agricultural and forest land uses. The drainage area for the project site is
8.0 square miles.
The project stream reaches consist of Glade Creek and UT to Glade Creek (stream restoration). The
project wetland areas consist of restoration and preservation (Wetlands A-D). Mitigation work within
the Site included restoring and enhancing 2,579 linear feet (LF) and preserving 129 LF of perennial
stream, restoring 0.16 acre of wetlands, and preserving 0.84 acre of existing wetland and proposes the
generation of 2,166.467 SMUs and 0.33 WMUs. The stream and wetland areas were planted with native
vegetation to improve habitat and protect water quality. Construction activities were completed by
Carolina Environmental, Inc. in December 2015. Turner Land Surveying completed the as-built survey in
January 2016. Storm repairs prior to end of the construction phase were completed in April 2016 and
the repairs were judged to have not resulted in changes that would warrant a revised as-built survey. A
12.8-acre conservation easement was purchased in 2008 by the State of North Carolina and was
recorded with Alleghany County Register of Deeds. The conservation easement protects the project area
in perpetuity.
Appendix 1 includes detailed project activity, history, contact information, and watershed/site
background information. Directions and a map of the Site are provided in Figure 1 and project
components are illustrated for the Site in Figure 2. Please refer to the Project Component Map (Figure 2)
for the stream and wetland features and to Table 1 for the project component and mitigation credit
information for the Site.
1.1 Project Goals and Objectives
Prior to construction, the streams had been impacted by historic agricultural practices, silviculture and
valley filling. In addition, there was widespread bank erosion, especially along the outside meander
bends, and mid-channel deposition. The wetlands had been impacted by vegetation clearing, the
establishment of exotic invasive plant species, and the burial of the hydric soils layer from historic valley
fill. Table 4 in Appendix 1 and Tables 6a and 6b in Appendix 2 present the pre- and post-restoration
conditions in detail.
This mitigation site is intended to provide numerous ecological benefits within the New River Basin and
addresses habitat degradation, which is the primary water quality stressor described in the New River
RBRP (2009). While many of the benefits are limited to the immediate project area, others, such as
pollutant removal, reduced sediment loading, and improved aquatic and terrestrial habitat, have
farther-reaching effects. Expected improvements to water quality and ecological processes are outlined
below as project goals and objectives. These project goals were met by giving careful consideration to
the goals and objectives described in the RBRP.
The project specific goals of the Glade Creek II Restoration Site included the following:
• Improve water quality by repairing eroding stream banks and establishing riparian buffers;
• Improve the community structure of the buffers;
• Improve stream function and habitat by re-establishing stream-to-floodplain connections;
• Restore long-term stability through the restoration of channel dimension, pattern and profile;
• Improve in-stream habitat using in-stream structures; and
Glade Creek II Restoration Project
Monitoring Year 4 Annual Report – FINAL 1-2
• Remove exotic invasive plant species.
The project objectives have been defined as follows:
• Restoration and enhancement of approximately 2,260 LF of Glade Creek;
• Restoration of 319 LF of the UT to Glade Creek;
• Preservation of 129 LF of UT to Glade Creek;
• Restoration of 0.16 acre of wetland by improving hydrologic connections;
• Preservation of 0.84 acre of existing jurisdictional wetland; and
• Establishment of riparian buffers by removing exotic invasive plants and installing a variety of
native vegetation.
The stream and wetland performance criteria for the Site follow approved performance standards
presented in the Glade Creek II Restoration Plan (Ward, 2008). Annual monitoring and semi-annual
site visits will be conducted to assess the condition of the finished project. The stream restoration and
enhancement reaches (Glade Creek and UT to Glade Creek) of the project were assigned specific
performance standards for stream morphology, hydrology, and vegetation. Wetland restoration areas
were assigned specific performance standards for wetland hydrology and vegetation. The Glade Creek
Stream Restoration Project was instituted prior to 7/28/2010; therefore, the Site will be monitored for
five years post-construction.
1.2 Monitoring Year 4 Data Assessment
Annual monitoring was conducted between March and October 2019 to assess the condition of the
project. The stream restoration success criteria for the Site follows the approved monitoring plan
presented in the Glade Creek II Restoration Plan (Ward, 2008).
1.2.1 Vegetation Assessment
A total of six vegetation monitoring plots were established during baseline monitoring within the project
easement areas using a standard 10 by 10 meter or 5 by 20 meter plots. Please refer to Figure 3 in
Appendix 2 for the vegetation monitoring plot locations. The final vegetation success criterion is the
survival of 260 planted stems per acre in the riparian corridor along restored and enhanced reaches at
the end of year five of the monitoring period.
The MY4 vegetation survey was completed in September 2019, resulting in an average planted stem
density of 519 stems per acre. The Site is on track to meet the MY5 density requirement of 260 planted
stems per acre, with 5 of the 6 plots (83%) individually meeting this requirement. Vegetation plot 1 is
not currently meeting the final requirement with a density of 243 planted stems per acre. Though with
the inclusion of desirable volunteers in the stem density counts, plot 1 would be exceeding the
requirement. Approximately 81% of the planted stems have a health score (vigor) of 3 or greater.
However, about 13% of the stems have a vigor of 2 or less, and 6% of the stems are missing. The poor
health is a result of suffocation from dense herbaceous cover, insects, dry conditions, or other unknown
factors. Please refer to Appendix 2 for vegetation plot photographs and Appendix 3 for vegetation data
tables.
1.2.2 Vegetation Areas of Concern
The MY4 vegetation monitoring and visual assessment revealed few vegetation areas of concern. Areas
noted at the beginning of the monitoring year with poor herbaceous cover and sandy deposition on the
floodplain of Glade Creek have recovered with vegetation becoming naturally well established. Small
pockets of invasive plant populations were identified in MY4 throughout the Site. Species included:
Oriental bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus), multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora), barberry (Berberis
Glade Creek II Restoration Project
Monitoring Year 4 Annual Report – FINAL 1-3
thunbergii), and Kudzu (Pueraria montana). DMS has contracted with a provider for invasive species
treatment beginning in October 2019 and continuing through 2020. Please refer to the current condition
plan view (CCPV) Figure 3 in Appendix 2 for vegetation areas of concern and Appendix 6 for invasive
species treatment logs.
1.2.3 Stream Assessment
Morphological surveys for MY4 were conducted in April and May 2019. Along Glade Creek, the surveyed
longitudinal profile illustrates that bedform features are maintaining vertical stability for the majority of
the surveyed reaches. Profile dimensions for Glade Creek are showing little change between MY3 and
MY4. The longitudinal profile plot for UT to Glade Creek demonstrates the extent of aggradation that
has altered the channel profile, which is further discussed below in Section 1.2.4. Please refer to
Appendix 4 for longitudinal profiles with annual overlays and Table 13a-b for stream reach data
summaries.
Cross-section survey results indicate that channel dimensions are stable and functioning as designed on
Glade Creek with minimal adjustments. Some deposition was noted on the banks of Glade Creek thus
raising the low bank elevation and slightly increasing the low bank height ratio (XS2). Cross-sections
along UT to Glade Creek are representative of the significant sediment deposition and decreasing pool
depths occurring throughout the reach. The surveyed riffle cross-section along UT to Glade (XS5) has
been affected by sedimentation but has maintained channel dimensions. Please refer to Appendix 4 for
cross-section plots with annual overlays and Table 12 for morphology summaries.
In general, the reachwide pebble counts on Glade Creek show coarser materials in the riffles and fines in
the pools. The UT to Glade Creek reachwide channel materials resulted in a D50 of 0.3 mm (sand) during
MY4. This fining of sediment materials observed in MY3 has continued in MY4 for UT to Glade Creek.
Please refer to Appendix 4 for pebble count plots with annual overlays.
1.2.4 Stream Areas of Concern
UT to Glade Creek has continued to experience an increase in fine sediment throughout MY4. Large
bankfull events along Glade Creek are depositing sediment along the floodplain and within the channel
of UT to Glade Creek. In addition, land management activities upstream of the project are contributing
excessive sedimentation on UT to Glade Creek. At the start of UT to Glade Creek Reach 2, sediment
deposition has directed flow through Wetland D on the left floodplain of the channel resulting in active
braiding. However downstream of Wetland D, willows have become more established along the banks
and have helped maintain channel form and function.
Along Glade Creek, there are a few isolated areas with minor to moderate bank erosion occurring along
with loose coir matting. Previously noted in MY2, areas of scour near station 23+00 to 24+50 were
planted with live-stakes in April 2019 to help stabilize the bank. Areas of concern are depicted on the
CCPV Figure 3 and Table 6 in Appendix 2.
1.2.5 Hydrology Assessment
A bankfull event was documented for Glade Creek and UT to Glade Creek on March 11, 2019 based on
crest gage measurements. In MY1 through MY4, there has been at least four bankfull events for each
reach documented in separate years. The performance standard was met in MY2 with two bankfull flow
events documented on restoration reaches and occurring in separate years during the five-year
monitoring period. Refer to Appendix 5 for hydrologic data and graphs.
1.2.6 Wetland Assessment
One groundwater monitoring gage (GWG 1) was established during baseline monitoring within the
wetland restoration area using a logging hydrology pressure transducer. The gage was installed at an
Glade Creek II Restoration Project
Monitoring Year 4 Annual Report – FINAL 1-4
appropriate location so that the data collected will provide an indication of groundwater levels
throughout the wetland restoration area. The target performance standard for wetland hydrology
success consists of the presence of groundwater within 12 inches of the ground’s surface for 21
consecutive days (12.5%) of the defined growing season for Alleghany County (April 26th to October 11th)
under typical precipitation conditions. The Site does not contain a rainfall gage; therefore, the daily
precipitation data was collected from closest NC CRONOS Station, Sparta 3.5 SSW. The GWG 1 recorded
169 consecutive days or 100% of the growing season; thereby exceeding the performance standard for
MY4. Each time that the groundwater gage was downloaded in MY4, standing water was observed in
the area surrounding the gage in Wetland D. This is corroborated by the groundwater gage data which
plots water levels above the ground’s surface for a majority of the growing season. Monthly rainfall data
in 2019 indicated higher than normal rainfall amounts occurred during the months of February, April,
June, and October and lower than normal rainfall amounts occurred during March and September 2019.
Please refer Figure 3 in Appendix 2 for the groundwater gage location, and Appendix 5 for hydrology
data and plots.
1.2.7 Wetland Areas of Concern
One headcut that was noted in MY3 at the outflow of Wetland B where it meets Glade Creek Reach 2
(around station 22+80), continues to be visible in MY4. This headcut is likely to migrate further into the
wetland without maintenance. Based on visual assessments in MY4, the area within Wetland D that is
normally observed to have standing water is also lacking woody vegetation. Please refer to the CCPV
Figure 3 in Appendix 2.
1.3 Monitoring Year 4 Summary
The MY4 morphological surveys and visual assessments indicate that the majority of Glade Creek
appears stable and functioning as designed; however, sediment deposition has caused a loss of channel
function along a portion of UT to Glade Creek. The MY4 vegetation assessment resulted in an average
planted stem density of 519 stems per acre and is exceeding the final success criterion of 260 stems per
acre. In addition, five out of six plots individually met this requirement. The Site’s groundwater gage met
the performance standard for MY4. The bankfull performance standard was met for the project in MY2.
The MY4 visual assessment revealed a few areas of concern including pockets of invasive species
present on the Site and isolated areas of bank scour. The continual maintenance of these areas of
concern would benefit the Site long term and decrease additional impacts to the project.
Summary information and data related to the performance of various project and monitoring elements
can be found in the tables and figures in the report appendices. Narrative background and supporting
information formerly found in these annual monitoring reports can be found in the Mitigation Plan
documents available on DMS’s website. All raw data supporting the tables and figures in the appendices

Section 2: METHODOLOGY
Geomorphic data was collected following the standards outlined in The Stream Channel Reference Site:
An Illustrated Guide to Field Techniques (Harrelson et al., 1994) and in the Stream Restoration: A Natural
Channel Design Handbook (Doll et al., 2003). Longitudinal and cross-sectional data were collected using
a total station and were georeferenced. All Integrated Current Condition Plan View mapping was
recorded using a Trimble handheld GPS with sub-meter accuracy and processed using was Pathfinder
and ArcView. Crest gages were installed in surveyed riffle cross-sections and monitored semi-annually.
Hydrology attainment installation and monitoring methods are in accordance with the USACE (2003)
standards. Vegetation monitoring protocols followed the Carolina Vegetation Survey-NCEEP Level 2
Protocol (Lee et al., 2008).

3BHRs that increased in MY4 were primarily due to additional floodplain deposition and not enlargement of the original baseline cross-section.
2MY3-MY5 Bank Height Ratio is calculated based on the As-built (MY0) cross-sectional area as described in the Standard Measurement of the BHR Monitoring Parameter document provided by NCIRT and NCDMS (9/2018). The remainder of
the bankfull dimensions are calculated based on the current year's low bank height. MY3 dimensions were updated in MY4.

APPENDIX 6. Invasive Species Treatment Logs
MEMO
To: Harry Tsomides, NCDEQ
From: Joe Secoges
Date: 10/17/2019
Subject: Glade Creek II Mitigation Site Maintenance Report
Tasks Preformed, -
On October 1, 2019 kudzu was treated with Transline® herbicide (with surfactant and
spray pattern indicator) at a rate of 21 oz per acre (max amount allowed on an acre in one
year). The kudzu infestation is estimated to be about 1/3 of an acre.
Other Notable -Information.-
Due to the contract start date being September 30"' (at the end of the growing season) in
addition to the extremely dry conditions, no other invasive plants were treated in 2019.
However, due to the expectation that the kudzu will need treatments in multiple years for
adequate control, Eastern Forest Consultants wanted to make sure that it was treated in
2019. A follow-up application on kudzu and initial treatment of all other target species
will be conducted with leaf -on conditions in 2020.
