1.0 Introduction
The Martin Dairy Mitigation Site (Site) is located in Orange County approximately eight miles northeast
of Hillsborough, NC and eight miles south of Caldwell, NC (Figure 1). The project is located within the NC
Division of Mitigation Services (DIMS) targeted watershed for the Neuse River Basin Hydrologic Unit (HU)
03020201030030 and NC Division of Water Resources (DWR) Subbasin 03-04-01. The Site was selected
by DMS to provide stream mitigation units (SMUs) and buffer credits in the Neuse River Basin 03020201
(Neuse 01). The project involves the restoration of 1,814 existing linear feet of incised and straightened
streams from two unnamed tributaries to Buckwater Creek. These streams have been given names by
Wildlands to facilitate labeling and communication in this mitigation plan and for the life of the project
(Figure 2). The mainstem is hereafter referred to as Martin Dairy and its tributary as UT1. Restoration of
these reaches will provide 2,135 SMUs. The project will also restore 10.14 acres of riparian buffer on -
site, which will provide 394,742 buffer credits. The Site will be protected by an 11.155-acre conservation
easement. The Site Protection Instrument detailing the easement is located in Appendix 1.

2.0 Watershed Approach and Site Selection
The 2009 Neuse River Basinwide Water Quality Plan lists major stressors in Subbasin 03-04-01 to be
total suspended solids (TSS), nutrients, and chlorophyll a. The 2010 Neuse River Basin Restoration
Priorities (RBRP) highlights the importance of riparian buffers for stream restoration projects. Riparian
buffers retain and remove nutrients and suspended sediments. Of the 123 miles of streams in the Neuse
01 CU, 23% do not have adequate riparian buffers. The RBRP states that "priority [restoration] projects
should increase or improve buffers." Another goal of the RBRP for the Neuse 01 HU is to support the
Falls Lake watershed plan. Falls Lake is the receiving water supply water body downstream of the Site
and is classified as water supply waters (WS-IV) and nutrient sensitive waters (NSW). The RBRP also
states that a goal for the Neuse 01 CU is to, "...promote nutrient and sediment reduction in agricultural
areas by restoring and preserving wetlands, streams, and riparian buffers." The Martin Dairy Mitigation
Site was selected because of its location within the targeted watershed and its potential to address the
goals of the RBRP through stream restoration and buffer restoration.
Restoration of streams on the Site will directly and indirectly address stressors identified in the RBRP by
creating stable stream banks, restoring meandering pattern, and restoring a forested buffer. The project
will slow surface runoff, increase retention times, provide shade to streams, and reconnect the streams
to their historic floodplains and riparian wetlands, which should reduce sediment and nutrient loads
which contribute to the production of chlorophyll a in downstream waters. In addition, restoration will
provide and improve instream and terrestrial (riparian) habitats while improving stream stability and
overall hydrology.

3.0 Baseline and Existing Conditions
The Site watershed (Table 2 and Figure 3) is located in a northwestern HU of the Neuse 01 CU. It is
situated in the rural countryside in Orange County near Hillsborough, NC, upstream of the intense
growth and development pressure associated with the Raleigh -Durham metropolitan area. The
following sections describe the existing conditions of the watershed and watershed processes, including
disturbance and response.

3.1 Landscape Characteristics
3.1.1 Physiography and Topography
The Site is located in the Piedmont Physiographic Province of North Carolina. The Piedmont Province is
characterized by gently rolling, well rounded hills with long low ridges and elevations ranging from 300-
1500 feet above sea level. The Site topography and relief are typical for the region, as illustrated in
Figure 4. Martin Dairy has a gentle (0.65%) alluvial valley that transitions from moderately confined at
60 feet wide at the upstream end of the Site to unconfined at over 200 feet wide at the downstream
end of the Site. UT1 transitions from a steep (1.81%) confined valley (<50 feet wide) at the upstream
project limit to a moderately confined valley (>100 feet wide) as it approaches its confluence with
Martin Dairy. Due to the valley shape in conjunction with dredge spoil present along the right bank of
Martin Dairy (from when the channel was straightened and deepened), a swath of wetlands developed
at the toe of the right valley slope. The wetland position and extents within the landscape has been
consistent according to available historic aerial topography dating back to 1938. These wetlands are in
danger of draining should Martin Dairy continue to incise.
3.1.2 Geology and Soils
The Site is located in a portion of the Piedmont known as the Carolina Slate Belt (NCGS, 1985). The rocks
in this region are primarily volcanic and sedimentary rocks that underwent low-grade metamorphism
giving them a slaty cleavage. Coarse -grained intrusive granites comprise the rest of the Slate Belt rocks
(Rogers, 2006). The geology of this area has important effects on Site hydrology, hydraulics,
geomorphology, and sediment transport. Streams in the Carolina Slate Belt tend to go dry during late
summer and early fall as a result of geologic, topographic, and climatic factors. A study by Guise and
Mason (1993) states that the, "Carolina slate belt has among the lowest potential for sustaining
baseflow in streams" throughout the year as compared to other regions of North Carolina. Median low
flows in the Carolina Slate Belt, defined by the study as the 7Q10 (the annual minimum 7-day
consecutive low flow), can be as low as 0.005 ft3/s/mi2 of drainage area (Guise and Mason, 1993). If
streambank vegetation is not well established it can die back in late summer when flows are low, leaving
banks exposed to erosive storm flows. This process appears to happen during the summer months and
W Martin Dairy Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No.97087 Page 2 March 2017

periods of drought along Martin Dairy and UT1. Existing streambank vegetation is dominated by pasture
grasses that die back for a portion of the year. The exposed banks lack the roughness necessary to
reduce channel velocities. High channel velocities and shear stresses increase bed scour during these
times. This has resulted in the process of channel incision followed by widening. There is evidence of
bank sloughing along the length of Martin Dairy, forming temporary benches that eventually mobilize
through the system. These erosional processes deliver sediment and its adsorbed nutrients
downstream. It is likely that these processes are occurring on the livestock operation east of Schley
Road, which drains into UT1, and on other unbuffered streams within the watershed. There is currently
no evidence that aggradation is occurring in the system.
The Martin Dairy floodplain is dominated by Chewacla loams (Figure 5). While this soil frequently floods
and is poorly drained, aiding in the maintenance of wetlands, the loamy soil is greater than 80 inches
deep. This depth to bedrock provides no natural grade control within the streambeds. Without
intervention, channel incision would likely continue to degrade the Site streams until the channels reach
the underlying bedrock.
It is Wildlands' experience that small streams in the Slate Belt are low bedload sediment supply systems.
These streams commonly have small gravel and sand bed material that is derived from highly weathered
parent material. Largely forested watersheds with low rolling topography will often result in low
sediment supply. Without naturally high bedload supply to drive morphologic change, these streams are
relatively slow to adjust without manipulation or watershed disturbance.
3.2 Land Use/Land Cover
Land use and land cover were investigated throughout the watershed using historical aerials of the Site
and adjacent parcels from 1938-2016 and a watershed reconnaissance survey. The watershed is 60%
forested. The most common historical and current land uses in the watershed are silviculture and
agriculture. While 40% of the watershed has been previously cleared, recent logging events in the
watershed have been infrequent and limited in disturbed acreage. The largest recent event noted on
historical aerials was of 3.6 acres cleared between 2009 and 2010. This constitutes less than one percent
of the watershed. The Site itself has been used for livestock grazing or maintained as managed
herbaceous cover since at least before 1938. The limits of riparian buffers and agricultural land on Site
have remained consistent over that time. In recent history, the Site was an active dairy farm. The
livestock were removed and the Site transitioned to hay production over three years ago. There are no
signs of impending land use changes or development pressure that would impact the project in the
Martin Dairy watershed.
This consistency in land use within the project watershed over the past 78 years indicates that
watershed processes affecting hydrology, sediment supply, and nutrient and pollutant delivery have not
varied widely over time. With a lack of developmental pressure, watershed processes and stressors from
outside the project limits are likely to remain consistent throughout the implementation, monitoring,
and closeout of this project. These stressors and processes are discussed further in Section 4, below.
Aerial photographs from 1938-present depict the Site in a managed open field condition with the stream
maintaining its location. The lack of sinuosity on Martin Dairy, and the presence of dredge spoil material
along the top of banks suggests that the channels were straightened for agricultural purposes prior to
1938. Ditches, located along the right floodplain of Martin Dairy, partially drain the riparian wetlands.
Both Martin Dairy and UT1 enter the project via culverts. The channel has incised over a foot
downstream of the culverts, creating a barrier for aquatic organism passage to upstream reaches within
the watershed.
W Martin Dairy Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No.97087 Page 3 March 2017

3.3 Existing Vegetation
Streamside vegetation consists primarily of herbaceous plants and grasses such as fescue (Fescue spp.)
smartweed (Polygonum spp.), Johnson grass (Sorghum halepense), and purple lovegrass (Eragrostis
eragrostis) with some broom sedge (Carexscoparia), golden rod (Solidago spp.), ironweed (Vernonia
altissima), and cardinal flower (Lobelia cardinalis). There are also some young sweet gums (Liquidambar
styraciflua), red maple (Acer rubrum), green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), and small black willows (Salix
nigra) present near the top of the stream bank. Portions of UT1 are choked with cattail (Typha latifolia).
Invasive species include multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora) and Chinese privet (Lagustrum sinense) with
Johnson grass and cattail considered nuisance species.
The watershed has likely been logged multiple times since pre -disturbance although recent logging (post
1938) has been limited. Most tree species located in surrounding riparian areas are mid -successional or
planted pine. The species in these areas are not necessarily indicative of what would have been on -site
pre -disturbance.
3.4 Project Resources
On May 19, 2016, Wildlands investigated on -site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. within the proposed
project easement area. Jurisdictional areas were delineated using the US Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) Routine On -Site Determination Method. This method is defined by the 1987 Corps of Engineers
Wetlands Delineation Manual and the subsequent Eastern Mountain and Piedmont Regional
Supplement. All jurisdictional waters of the U.S. were located by sub -meter GPS. Wetland determination
forms representative of on -site jurisdictional areas as well as non -jurisdictional upland areas are
included in Appendix 2.
The wetland delineation was confirmed on Site by USACE staff on July 28, 2016 and the jurisdictional
determination was approved on December 9, 2016. There are four jurisdictional wetland features
located on -site (A-D). These wetland features are classified as seeps using the evaluator's best
professional judgement. The wetlands occur in the side slopes and the floodplains that drain to Martin
Dairy. These features exhibit a high water table, pockets of shallow inundation, saturation within the
upper 12 inches of the soil profile, and a low chroma matrix. Common hydrophytic vegetation includes
wild mint (Mentha arvensis), longhair sedge (Carex comosa), and common rush (Juncus effuses). Much
of these areas are impacted from farming practices including hay production.
The Site contains two perennial streams: Martin Dairy and UT1. It also contains a short potion of an
ephemeral channel (E1) at the downstream end of the Site. This feature was confirmed as ephemeral by
staff from the DWR on April 5, 2016. NC DWR Stream Identification Forms (Version 4.11) are in Appendix
3 along with a confirmation letter from DWR regarding the ephemeral reach. US Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) forms are in Appendix 2. Stream features are described in more detail in Section 5.
Table 3 provides a summary of water resources within the project limits. Existing conditions are also
illustrated in Figure 6.
E1 exhibits little erosion and appears to be relatively stable. The downstream end of the reach holds
water for part of the year and it has been delineated as a wetland (Wetland A). Martin Dairy's stream
type classification is most nearly described as varying between an incised and straightened E4 and C4
stream type, as the top width widens and narrows along the length of the stream. UT1 is best classified
as an incised and straightened E4. The dominant bed material in both reaches is a small gravel. Cross -
sections 1-4 are located along Martin Dairy and cross -sections 5 and 6 are on UT1 (Figure 6). Cross-
section and reach -wide pebble count results are located in Appendix 5.

4.0 Watershed and Channel Disturbance and Response
As discussed above in Section 3.2, there has been very little change in the watersheds of Martin Dairy
and UT1 for several decades. Some clearing of forest has occurred but these minor disturbances are the
not the main driver of the degradation of the Site. The primary cause of degradation on the Site was the
original clearing of the Site and channelization of Martin Dairy and UT1, which occurred prior to 1938
(the date of the earliest available aerial photo). The channelization involved straightening and
deepening of the stream (as indicated by the amount of dredge spoil in the floodplain). This
manipulation led to increased shear stresses which caused incision, especially in Martin Dairy where the
upstream culvert is now one foot above the channel bed. UT 1 is less incised because its down -cutting
was arrested by the base level of the receiving stream. Over time, the incision reduced the overall
channel slope in Martin Dairy which resulted in decreases in stream power. As incision slowed the
channels began to widen through mass wasting and livestock trampling. Though livestock are no longer
W Martin Dairy Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No.97087 Page 5 March 2017

grazed on the Site, signs of on -going bank sloughing are apparent in both channels. Although less
incision occurred in UT1 after channelization, both streams are overly deep, widening, sloughing, and
devoid of riparian vegetation (other than pasture grass) due to agricultural uses of the Site.
5.0 Functional Uplift Potential
The potential for functional uplift is described in this section according to the Stream Functions Pyramid
(Harman, 2012). The Stream Functions Pyramid describes a hierarchy of five stream functions, each of
which supports the functions above it on the pyramid (and sometimes reinforces those below it). The
five functions in order from bottom to top are hydrology, hydraulics, geomorphology, physicochemical,
and biology.
5.1 Hydrology
The major watershed disturbance, prior to 1938, has been deforestation and conversion of 40% of the
watershed to agricultural land uses. These alterations in land cover typically result in reductions in
rainfall interception and evapotranspiration which lead to increases in runoff and water yield (Dunne
and Leopold, 1978). A primary result of these changes is an increase in both peak flows and base flows,
though the magnitude of this effect is likely small in watersheds of this size. Initial increases in water
yield usually change over time as vegetation regrows and crops are planted. There are no stream gauges
within this watershed and, thus, no way to know the degree to which clearing of 40% of the land
affected this particular watershed other than to say that water yields have almost certainly increased.
However, these changes primarily occurred several decades ago (prior to available aerial photography)
and additional clearing in the watershed has been limited. The watershed has adjusted to its hydrologic
regime and is stable now. Population growth in this rural area is essentially non-existent. Therefore,
future alteration to the land cover and associated effects on hydrology are not expected in the
foreseeable future. No measurements of existing conditions in hydrology have been made to date for
this project. However, due to the stability of the watershed the Site hydrology is assumed to be
functioning (Table 4).
A stream restoration project performed at a specific Site does not often result in uplift to hydrology
(Harman, 2012). Even though trees will be planted within the conservation easement, this will not result
in improvements to the rainfall -runoff relationship at the watershed scale. Therefore, there is no
opportunity to improve the hydrology function. However, it is currently rated as functioning (Table 4).
5.2 Hydraulics
The streams on the Site are channelized and incised and not connected to their floodplains. This has
resulted in reduced hydraulic functioning of the channels. The bank height ratios on Martin Dairy range
from 1.4 (functioning -at -risk) to 1.9 (not functioning). On UT1, the bank height ratio is 2.1 (not
functioning). However, the entrenchment ratios on Martin Dairy range from 14.2 to 14.3 (functioning)
and on UT1 the entrenchment ratio is 2.2 (functioning). Estimated bankfull flow velocities for Martin
Dairy range from 3.8 to S feet per second (functioning) and on UT1 the estimated bankfull velocity is 4.7
(functioning). Because the streams are severely incised but flow dynamics are functional, the overall
rating for hydraulics on the Site is functioning -at -risk (Table 4).
The channel will be reconstructed and will be connected to its floodplain so that stream flows above
bankfull stage will flood the floodplain. The bank height ratios for both streams on the Site will be 1.0
(functioning). Bankfull flow velocities and shear stress will be maintained at functioning levels and
groundwater exchange and adjacent wetland hydrology will be improved as a result of the increased
frequency of floodplain inundation. Hydraulics will transition from functioning -at -risk to functioning
(Table 4).

5.3 Channel Geomorphology
The past channelization, incision, and on -going sloughing and widening described in Section 4 places the
streams on the Site at Stage IV of the Simon Channel Evolution Model which is classified as not
functioning. Currently, Martin Dairy exhibits scour along 31% of the reach. Martin Dairy is moderately
incised over 75% of its length. Over half of the length of UT1 is incised (54% of the stream length), with
bank height ratios averaging 2.1. Nearly half of the streambanks exhibit signs of active scouring (48%).
The channel bottom of this straightened tributary is choked with cattail and common rush. The bedform
is inconsistent on Martin Dairy and pool to pool spacing ratios (1.6 - 10.6) vary widely over the project
length (not functioning). UT1 has more consistent bedform, however the pool to pool spacing ratio
(average 6.5) indicates the bedform is functioning -at -risk. There is little to no large woody debris (LWD)
in either of the streams on -site (not functioning). Bank migration and lateral stability were not measured
for this project due to its straightened status. Overall, the existing geomorphology function on the Site is
very poor and is classified as not functioning (Table 4).
There is an opportunity to improve the geomorphology function on the site. The incision and bank
erosion will be corrected. Bedform will be diversified and spaced with appropriate design ratios. LWD
will be added to the system through construction of instream structures and bank revetments and a
riparian buffer will be planted. The geomorphology function will be restored to functioning (Table 4).
5.4 Physicohemical
No water quality sampling has been conducted on the Martin Dairy Site and there are no water quality
monitoring stations within the watershed. The 2009 Neuse River Basinwide Water Quality Plan lists
major stressors in Subbasin 03-04-01 to be TSS, nutrients, and chlorophyll a. Since the watershed land
use is similar to the greater Subbasin, the Site likely has similar physicochemical concerns as those
stated in the Basinwide Water Quality Plan. Potential sediment sources in the watershed include
streambank erosion, bed scour, and runoff from agricultural fields. Potential sources of nutrients within
the watershed are the livestock operation located east of the project along Schley Road, a livestock
operation in the northeast quadrant of the watershed, the horse farm located west of the project, and
runoff containing fertilizers applied to fields in the northern portion of the watershed. The suspected
high nutrient load and lack of shade within the riparian corridor may contribute to elevated levels of
chlorophyll a. There are, however, no observed algal blooms present within the project streams to
indicate severe degradation in water quality or noticeably high levels of chlorophyll a. Although it is not
mentioned in the Water Quality Plan, fecal coliform is another likely source of pollution within the
watershed due to livestock operations. Water in UT1 is stagnant because of vegetation on the channel
bed that causes ponded water. Because no water quality data are available to evaluate the current level
of physicochemical functioning, this function is not rated (Table 4).
W Martin Dairy Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No.97087 Page 7 March 2017

There is potential to improve the physicochemical functioning of the project streams. Water will flow
over instream structures that will provide aeration, trees will be planted in the riparian zone to
eventually shade and cool stream flow and help filter runoff, the stream will be reconnected to its
floodplain and adjacent riparian wetlands to provide storage and treatment of overbank flows, and
streambank erosion will be greatly reduced to nearly eliminate a source of sediment and nutrients.
However, the potential improvements to physicochemical functioning will not happen immediately and
some aspects will not occur until a mature canopy is established. Therefore, physicochemical
improvements will not be included in the project success criteria for the seven-year monitoring period
and the functional uplift potential is not rated (Table 4).
5.5 Biology
There are no available biological data for the Site, however, the habitat conditions on the Site are poor.
While the riffle material is well -mixed small gravel and the pools contain fine to coarse sand, the stream
contains very little woody debris or organic material necessary to support diverse macroinvertebrate
and fish communities. There are no downed trees or larger woody debris masses that would create
habitat features. UT1 has some riffle -pool sequences, but the majority of stream length is choked with
macrophytes, which results in stagnation and sedimentation, likely lowering dissolved oxygen levels and
covering the bed habitat. Additionally, the perched culverts at the upstream limits of both Martin Dairy
and UT1 act as a barrier to aquatic organism passage. While the riparian wetlands provide habitat
diversity in the floodplain, they are regularly mowed, removing shade and refuge areas. The riparian
zone of the project provides little habitat for terrestrial species other than pasture grass. However,
because no data on the existing communities are available to evaluate the current level of biologic
functioning, this function is not rated (Table 4).
There is opportunity to improve the instream and riparian habitat in addition to the physicochemical
function described in Section 5.4. Habitat will be improved by adding instream structures with a variety
of rock and woody materials, adding woody bank revetments, reducing the abundance of nuisance
macrophytes, providing a riparian buffer to shade the stream and improve terrestrial habitat, creating
pools of variable depths, and cutting of sources of fine sediments. The culvert outlets will be addressed
to improve aquatic organism passage. The biological response of the system will be tied to the
physiochemical response post -restoration. As the physiochemical response may be delayed, the
ultimate level of improvement in biology may not occur until after the completion of the seven-year
monitoring period and, therefore, the functional uplift potential will be not rated (Table 4).
5.6 Overall Functional Uplift Potential
Overall, the Martin Dairy Mitigation Site can be considered as Functioning -at -Risk but the functional
uplift potential is a reclassification as Functioning (Table 4). This change in overall classification is related
to improvements in hydraulics and geomorphology between the existing and proposed conditions. The
hydrology function will not be improved by the project because watershed -scale reforestation would be
required to drive improvement in this function. Physicochemical and biological improvements are a
likely result of the project. However, there is no existing basis for classifying the existing condition of
these functions and the likely improvements will occur gradually after construction. Therefore, these
functions are not rated and not considered in the overall functional rating. Project goals are tied only to
hydraulics and geomorphology.
5.7 Site Constraints to Functional Uplift
An overhead electric utility line crosses the Site near the upstream extents of the project. The 30-foot
easement associated with the line will be an internal break in the conservation easement. This break is
the only one within the project limits. The stream will be restored and stabilized through this break,
however no trees will be included in the vegetation plan for this swath to allow maintenance access.
W Martin Dairy Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No.97087 Page 8 March 2017

The culverts at the upstream ends of the project are outside of the project limits. Due to this, repairs to
hydraulic function and aquatic organism passage can only be addressed from the culvert outlets. There
are no other man-made constraints within the project area that affect or reduce uplift potential.
The valley width on the Site will allow for the development of pattern and channel dimensions to
restore stable, functioning streams and there are no other known constraints to the functional uplift
described above in this section. The degree to which the physicochemical and biology functions can
improve on the Site is limited by the watershed conditions beyond the project limits, upstream water
quality, and the presence of source communities upstream and downstream of the Site.

6.1 Biological and Cultural Resources
A Categorical Exclusion for the Martin Dairy Mitigation Site was submitted to DMS on May 27, 2016, and
approved on June 3, 2016. This document included investigation into the presence of threatened and
endangered species on Site protected under The Endangered Species Act of 1973, as well as any
historical resources protected under The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. The biological
conclusion for the Site, according to the Categorical Exclusion research and response by US Fish and
Wildlife Service, is that the, "proposed action [in this project] is not likely to adversely affect any
federally listed endangered or threatened species, their formally designated critical habitat, or species
currently proposed for listing under the Act." All correspondence with USFWS and a list of Threatened
and Endangered Species in Orange County, NC is included in Appendix 5. The conclusion for cultural
resources according to the Categorical Exclusion research and response by the State Historic
Preservation Office is that there are no historic resources that would be affected by this project. For
additional information and regulatory communications please refer to the Categorical Exclusion
document in Appendix 5.
6.2 FEMA Floodplain Compliance and Hydrologic Trespass
Martin Dairy and UT1 are not FEMA mapped streams within the Site, as illustrated on the Orange
County Flood Insurance Rate Map Panel 9896 and in Figure 7. Therefore, no modeling will be required
for this project. Martin Dairy is mapped downstream of the Site at its confluence with Buckwater Creek.
W Martin Dairy Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No.97087 Page 9 March 2017

6.3 401/404
The natural low point in the valley for Martin Dairy is currently a wetland area. The proposed stream
channel is re-routed through this area. Any wetlands within the conservation easement and outside of
the limits of disturbance will be flagged with safety fence during construction to prevent unintended
impacts. This will be denoted in the final construction plans on the Erosion and Sediment Control plan
and Detail plan sheets, as well as in the project specifications. The majority of floodplain grading will be
considered a temporary impact to wetlands. Wildlands expects a net gain of wetland area, as
construction of the new channel will fill the majority of the old channel to the elevation of the existing
wetlands and remove the overburden along the right bank of the existing Martin Dairy stream, creating
a wider overall floodplain and riparian wetland area. Table 6 estimates the anticipated impacts to
wetland areas on this project. The Pre -Construction Notification, including this data, will be provided to
DMS in the Final Mitigation Plan.

8.0 Design Approach and Mitigation Work Plan
8.1 Design Approach Overview
The design approach for this Site was developed to meet the goals and objectives described in Section 7
which were formulated based on the potential for uplift described in Section 5. The design is also
intended to provide the expected outcomes in Section 7, though these are not tied to performance
criteria. The project streams will be reconnected with an active floodplain and the channels will be
reconstructed with stable dimension, pattern, and profile that will transport the water and sediment
delivered to the system. The adjacent floodplain and riparian wetlands will be planted with native tree
species. Instream structures will be constructed in the channels to help maintain stable channel
morphology and improve aquatic habitat. The entire project area will be protected in perpetuity by a
conservation easement.
The design approach for this Site utilized a combination of analog and analytical approaches for stream
restoration. Reference reaches were identified to serve as the basis for design parameters. Channels
W Martin Dairy Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No.97087 Page 11 March 2017

were sized based on design discharge hydrologic analysis. Designs were then verified and/or modified
based on a sediment transport analysis. This approach has been used on many successful Piedmont and
Slate Belt restoration projects (Underwood, Foust, Holman Mill, Maney Farm, and Agony Acres
Mitigation Sites) and is appropriate for the simple goals and objectives for this Site.
8.2 Reference Streams
Reference streams provide geomorphic parameters of a stable system, which can be used to inform
design of stable channels of similar stream types in similar landscapes and watersheds. Five reference
reaches were identified for this Site and used to support the design of Martin Dairy and UT1 (Figure 9).
These reference reaches were chosen because of their similarities to the Site streams including drainage
area, valley slope, morphology, and bed material. The reference reaches are all located within the
Carolina Slate Belt region of the Piedmont. Geomorphic parameters for these reference reaches are
summarized located in Appendix 4. The references to be used for the specific streams are shown in
Table 8. A description of each reference reach is included below.

8.2.1 Long Branch
Long Branch is located in Orange County, northwest of Chapel Hill. Long Branch was previously identified
as a reference and discussed in the Collins Creek Restoration Plan (KCI Technologies, 2007). The Long
Branch watershed is low -density residential, agricultural, and forested land. The valley slope is 0.6% and
channel slope is 0.4%. The stream maintains an entrenchment ratio above 2.5. Wildlands visited the
reference site to verify the data presented in the KCI report. Two riffles were surveyed during the site
visit. These riffles had a width to depth ratio of 9.4 and 8.0 with entrenchment ratios of 11.7 and 12.1,
respectively. The cross -sections surveyed are more typical of E stream types, however KCI identified the
stream as a C4 in their previous analysis. The stream likely varies between a C4 and E4.
8.2.2 Spencer Creek Reach 2
Spencer Creek Reach 2 is located in western Montgomery County near Ophir, NC, less than two miles
from the Spencer Creek reference site (Buck Engineering, 2004). This site was classified as an E4 stream
type and has a drainage area of 0.96 square miles. This reach flows through a mature forest and has a
valley slope of 1.1% and a channel slope of 0.47%. The morphological parameters reported for the riffle
cross-section include a width to depth ratio from 5.8 to 7.1 and an entrenchment ratio of 5.5 and 10.2.
8.2.3 Foust Creek
The Foust Creek reference reach is located approximately 600 feet upstream of the northernmost
conservation easement boundary on the Foust Creek Mitigation Site in Alamance County, NC. It was
identified by Wildlands in the Foust Creek Mitigation Site 2014 Mitigation Plan (Wildlands Engineering,
2014). Foust Creek has a gravel bed and a valley slope of 0.75%. The Foust Creek reference reach is
classified as a Rosgen C4 stream type. This reach flows through a mature forest and although it is stable
it lacks sinuosity. It was used in this project to inform the cross-section and profile parameters.
W Martin Dairy Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No.97087 Page 12 March 2017

8.2.4 UT to Polecat Creek
The UT to Polecat Creek reference reach is located in northern Randolph County. The site was identified
by Wolf Creek Engineering and used as a reference reach for the Holly Grove Restoration Site (Wolf
Creek Engineering, 2007). Wildlands conducted a site visit and reference reach survey in March, 2013, to
confirm the geomorphic parameters listed in the Holly Grove Restoration Site Plan. The UT to Polecat
Creek reference reach is classified as a Rosgen E4 stream type.
8.2.5 UT to Varnals Creek
The UT to Varnals Creek reference reach is located in south central Alamance County, NC near the Cane
Creek Mountains. The site was identified by Ecologic Associates and used as a reference reach for the
Reedy Branch Stream Restoration Site (EcoLogic Associates, 2002). Wildlands visited UT to Varnals Creek
in September 2014 and visually confirmed that the land use is unchanged from reported conditions and
that the stream is laterally and vertically stable. Wildlands conducted a detailed morphological survey in
October 2014. UT to Varnals Creek has a drainage area of 0.41 square miles and is classified as a Rosgen
B4/E4b stream type for the majority of the reach. UT to Varnals Creek has a similar channel and valley
slope to UT1.
8.2.6 Agony Acres On -Site Reference Reach (UT1-Reach 3)
The Agony Acres On -Site Reference Reach (UT1— Reach 3) is located in northeast Guildford County, NC.
It was identified by Wildlands as a high quality preservation component of the nearby Agony Acres
Mitigation Site in the March 2014 Mitigation Plan (Wildlands Engineering, 2014) and was used as a
reference reach for that project. It was selected as a reference reach due to its similarity in slope and
drainage area to UT1. A detailed survey was conducted in March of 2013. UT1— Reach 3 has a drainage
area of 0.3 square miles and classified as an E4 stream type.
8.3 Design Channel Morphological Parameters
Reference reaches were a primary source of information to develop the pattern and profile design
parameters for the streams. Ranges of pattern parameters were developed within the reference reach
parameter ranges with some exceptions based on best professional judgement and knowledge from
previous projects. The full range of reference reach data is located in Appendix 4. We found the lower
limit of some of these parameters to be too low to build a stable system. They are likely low in reference
reaches due to the presence of a mature forest and root system that both influences and stabilizes
channel pattern and profile. For example, radius of curvature ratio in reference data has a lower limit of
1.1 and the meander width ratio had a minimum of 1.0, however we have found that for C/E channels,
these ratios should be above 1.8 and 2.4 respectively to naturally dissipate energy through meander
bends during high flow events to limit impacts of shear stress on streambanks. The lower limits of the
radius of curvature ratio and meander width ratio are based on values used for many years and on many
successful designs.
Reference reaches were also used to inform the design of the cross -sections on the streams. The
streams were designed with pool widths to be approximately 1.3 times the width of riffles to provide
space for point bars and riffle pool transition zones. Designer experience was used for pool design as
well. Pool depths were designed to be a minimum of 1.5 times deeper than riffles to provide habitat
variation. Cross-section parameters such as area, depth, and width were designed based on the design
discharge and stable bank slopes. The width to depth ratio was increased beyond some of the reference
parameters for UT1 in order to provide stable bank slopes prior to the development of a fully vegetated
streambank. Key morphological parameters for the Site are listed in Tables 9 and 10 for Martin Dairy
and UT1 respectively. Complete morphological tables for existing, reference, and proposed conditions
are located in Appendix 4.

Both Martin Dairy and UT1 are incised, actively widening, and lack a natural pattern, habitat diversity,
and a forested riparian buffer. These factors have led to the impairments discussed in Sections 3 and 4.
To address these impairments and the stressors on the system, restoration is proposed for Martin Dairy
and UT1. Both channels were designed to be Rosgen stream type C4/E4, with width -to -depth ratios on
the low end of the typical range for that stream type. Narrow and deeper channels are common in slate
belt reference reaches; however, the reference channels have established vegetation that maintain
stability on steeper streambanks. The design channels will begin with flatter side slopes that will be
more stable without established vegetation. Constructing channels with higher width -to -depth ratios
and flatter side slopes will allow for sediment deposition on the banks and bank protection as the
streambank vegetation establishes. The complete design morphological parameters for Martin Dairy
and UT1 are located in Appendix 4 and summaries of key parameters are shown in Tables 9 and 10.
8.4 Design Discharge Analysis
Multiple methods were used to develop bankfull discharge estimates for each of the project restoration
reaches: the NC Rural Piedmont Regional Curve (Harman et al., 1999), NC Piedmont/Mountain Regional
Curve (Walker, unpublished), a Wildlands Regional USGS Flood Frequency Analysis, a Site Specific
Reference Reach Curve, existing bankfull indicators using Manning's Equation, and data from previous
successful design projects. The resulting values were compared and best professional judgment was
used to determine the specific design discharge for each restoration reach.
8.4.1 Published Regional Curve Data
Discharge was estimated using the published NC Rural Piedmont Curve (Harman et al., 1999) as well as
the updated curve for rural Piedmont and mountain streams, also known as the Walker Curve (Walker,
unpublished).
W Martin Dairy Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No.97087 Page 15 March 2017

8.4.2 Wildlands Regional USGS Flood Frequency Analysis
Wildlands developed a regional flood frequency analysis tool that tailored the USGS 2009 publication
Magnitude and Frequency of Rural Floods in the Southeastern United States, through 2006 to the
Piedmont of North Carolina. Of the 103 stations referenced in the publication, 23 were used in the
development of the tool. To fill gaps in data, five additional stations were added by Wildlands to
represent streams with drainage areas less than one square mile. The Hosking and Walls homogeneity
test was performed in R° to identify a selection of hydrologically similar gages based on homogeneity
(Hosking and Walls, 1993). The gages used were:
• USGS 02096740 — Gun Branch near Alamance, NC (DA = 4.06 miZ)
• USGS 02096846 — Cane Creek near Orange Grove, NC (DA = 7.54 mil)
• USGS 02097010 — Robeson Creek near Pittsboro, NC (DA = 1.71 mil)
• USGS 02101030 — Falls Creek near Bennett, NC (DA = 3.43 miZ)
• USGS 0210166029 — Rocky River at SR1300 near Crutchfield Crossroads, NC (DA = 7.42 mil)
The data from these 28 gage stations were used to develop flood frequency curves for the 1.2-year and
1.5-year recurrence interval discharges. These relationships can be used to estimate discharge of those
recurrence intervals for ungauged streams in the same hydrologic region, and were solved for each
project reach's discharge with the drainage area as the input.
8.4.3 Site Specific Reference Reach Curve
Six reference reaches were identified for this project (Section 4.2). Each reference reach was surveyed to
develop information for analyzing drainage area -discharge relationships as well as development of
design parameters. Stable cross -sectional dimensions and channel slopes were used to compute a
bankfull discharge with the Manning's equation for each reference reach. The resulting discharge values
were plotted with drainage area and compared the other discharge estimation methods.
8.4.4 Existing Bankfull Indicators (Manning's Equation)
A riffle cross-section was surveyed on each design reach on the Site, totaling three cross -sections. In
addition to this, three cross -sections were surveyed on the reaches directly upstream of the project.
Bankfull indicators were identified in the field during this survey. Manning's equation was used to
calculate a corresponding discharge using the pebble count information for roughness and the survey
data for channel slope. The upstream cross -sections off the project were used to calibrate bankfull
depth. It can be difficult to identify clear bankfull indicators on incised and degraded channels, so the
highest quality indicators were used to calibrate others. The highest quality indicators were identified on
UT1 and on Martin Dairy upstream of the project site.
8.4.5 Design Discharge Analysis Summary
A design goal of Martin Dairy is to maintain the existing riparian wetlands on the right floodplain while
encouraging the development of riparian wetlands on the left floodplain. Removing the existing dredge
spoil material within the floodplain is the first step in this process. The second is establishing a design
discharge that will support the riparian wetlands.
The results of the design discharge analysis provided a range of discharge values with the NC Rural
Piedmont Regional Curve producing the highest and the Walker Curve producing the lowest. The NC
Rural Piedmont Regional Curve discharge estimates were higher than the other estimation methods on
Martin Dairy. The Walker Curve discharge estimates were lower (up to 29 cubic feet per second (cfs))
than all other estimation methods. For these reasons, the regional curve estimation methods were not
considered further in the selection of a design discharge for Martin Dairy. There was concurrence
between the Wildlands Regional USGS Flood Frequency Analysis (1.2-year event), the existing bankfull
indicators using Manning's Equation, and the Site Specific Reference Reach Curve for Martin Dairy
W Martin Dairy Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No.97087 Page 16 March 2017

Reaches 1 and 2. These three values were averaged and then that value was compared to other
successful projects in the Slate Belt with similar drainage areas and similar design goals (Agony Acres,
Holman Mill, and Maney Farm). Those project values confirmed the selected design discharge.
The design discharge analysis for UT1 produced a fairly even spread of values across the estimation
methods and lacked concurrence between any group of methods. Because of this, the aforementioned
past projects within the Slate Belt were used for further evaluation. Creating a rating curve from past
successful projects of similar drainage area gave a design discharge of 24 cfs for UT1. This value was
incredibly close to the average of all estimation methods (26 cfs). For this reason, 24 cfs was chosen as
the design discharge. Table 11 gives a summary of the discharge analysis. Figure 10 illustrates the design
discharge data.

8.5 Sediment Transport Analysis
As discussed in Section 3.1.2, small Slate Belt streams are generally low bedload sediment supply
systems. To confirm that the streams on this Site are low bedload streams, Wildlands performed a
qualitative assessment of the sediment load volume and sources in the project watershed. For this
project, the watershed was assessed through aerial photography and field reconnaissance to
characterize past and current land cover and potential sediment sources. There are two prominent
potential sediment sources within the watershed: runoff from agricultural fields and streambank erosion
and bed scour. There is evidence of streambank erosion on UT1 upstream of the project on the adjacent
farm. However, the pond at the downstream end of the property serves as a sink for the excess
sediment and limits the amount of sediment delivered to the Site. There is minimal evidence of
streambank erosion from the upstream reaches of Martin Dairy delivering large sediment loads. Ponds
on the northwest branch serve as a sink for sediment input and the northeast branch is in a wooded
area. On -site streams were visually inspected several times during 2015 and 2016 to qualitatively assess
aggradation and degradation within the channels. Streams exhibited evidence of on -going fluvial erosion
on stream banks on Martin Dairy and UT1. There was no evidence of sediment deposition and
accumulation throughout these reaches, indicating that aggradation within the reaches is not an issue.
W Martin Dairy Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No.97087 Page 17 March 2017

Once the project is constructed, on -site sediment sources will be addressed by protecting streambanks
and reducing shear stress in the channels.
The watershed assessment indicates that the bedload supply is not high enough to cause the project
streams to be capacity limited. The focus of sediment transport analysis for this design was verify that
the designed channels will be stable over time and have the ability to pass sediment from the
watersheds. A competence analysis was performed on the streams to aid in the development of the
final channel designs.
8.5.1 Competence Analysis
Competence analyses were performed iteratively during design for each of the restoration reaches by
comparing shear stress associated with the design bankfull discharge, proposed channel dimensions,
and proposed channel slopes with the size distribution of the existing bed load. The analysis utilized
standard equations based on a methodology using the Shields (1936) curve and Andrews (1984)
equation described by Rosgen (2001). Channel slope and design dimensions were varied until the
resulting design verified that the stream reach could move the bed load supplied to the stream. The
results of the analysis are shown in Table 12.

The initial competence analysis was based on the size material naturally found in the stream in order to
mimic potential bed load. The results were used to inform further design of the reach. The excess shear
noted on UT1 influenced the design of rock and wood step structures to provide grade control and
increase roughness within the channel. Riffles with larger materials, such as chunky riffles, were also
integrated into the design as grade control. A second competence analysis was done to size the
proposed Dso and Dloo for the constructed riffles on all stream reaches. Riffles materials was sized so
that the reconstructed channels will not produce enough shear stress to entrain the largest particles in
these structures. This will ensure a stable pavement while allowing for bed load material to be active
within the system.
8.6 Project Implementation
The majority of Martin Dairy will be raised through Priority I restoration (Table 13). This will raise the
water table, improve hydrologic connection to the riparian wetlands, allow for frequent inundation of
the floodplain, and a reduction of shear stress on the channel. The majority of UT1 will be a Priority II
due to restrictions in Site topography and the elevation of the upstream culvert in relation to the
floodplain. A floodplain will be graded in at a bankfull elevation. The floodplain will not meander along
with the stream pattern but will be relatively straight.

Restoration — Priority II
Martin Dairy has been separated into two reaches for the restoration design, separated by the
confluence with UT1. The proposed stream will be realigned to the low point in the existing valley and
the top of bank is set at an elevation matching the base of the overburden material on the existing
floodplain. The perched culvert at the top of the reach will allow for a Priority 1 restoration approach
through this area. The alignment travels through an existing wetland that formed between the toe of
the valley slope and the overburden. The overburden material will be removed during construction to fill
the old channel it is anticipated that additional wetlands will form across the valley floor creating an
interconnected stream and wetland complex on the Site. UT1 will also be relocated into the natural low
point in its valley. Due to the upstream culvert elevation, UT1 will follow a Priority II approach. A
floodplain will be excavated at a lower level so that the stream bed is not raised for this short reach. A
structure will be placed at the top of the reach to hold the bed elevation at that of the culvert invert so
as to improve aquatic organism passage on this reach.
Martin Dairy and UT1 will be sinuous (K=1.14) and the beds will be comprised of riffle -pool sequences
with some log and rock drop structures. In -stream structures will include various types of constructed
riffles, log sills, boulder sills, lunker logs, and j-hooks. The structures will reinforce channel stability and
serve as habitat features. The constructed riffles will be comprised of excavated on -site riffle material
from the adjacent hillslopes where the presence of Tatum Silt loam soil indicates bedrock is located
(Figure 5). The riffles will also incorporate woody brush material and logs. The diverse range of
constructed riffle types will provide grade control, diversity of habitat, and will create varied flow
vectors. Log -j-hooks will deflect flow vectors away from banks while adding to habitat diversity. Log sills
will be used to allow for small grade drops across pools and provide extra grade control. At select outer
meander bends, the channel banks will be constructed with brush toe revetments to reduce erosion
potential, encourage pool maintenance, and provide varied pool habitat. Lunker logs in combination
with sod mats will also be used to provide pool habitat variability. Due to the availability of sod on site, it
will be used extensively to provide immediate bank protection. The concept plan for Site restoration is
illustrated in Figure 8.
Wildlands has completed several projects within the Slate Belt and has found that riffle grade control
material can be harvested from weathered parent material on valley sideslopes to mitigate for the
natural lack of grade control. This method, along with the introduction of woody debris, has been
successful at providing a heterogeneous mixture of riffle material that increases channel roughness and
improves channel hydraulics and geomorphology. The gradation of material provides varied pore spaces
within the riffles and structures, which benefits hyporheic exchange processes and habitat niche
formation. According to soil descriptions, the Tatum silt loam, located along the right valley wall of
Martin Dairy, contains weathered bedrock at a depth of 50 inches. This area will be used to source
habitat and grade control structures during construction.
One of the secondary objectives of this project will be to improve aquatic organism passage through the
culvert at the upstream end of Martin Dairy by raising the stream bed to elevation of the culvert and
eliminating the existing nick point barrier. Also as part of this project, a new culvert is to be added to the
Site, downstream of the conservation easement, to allow the landowner access to the back half of their
parcel. The culvert will be designed as to not impede aquatic organism passage onto the Site.
W Martin Dairy Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No.97087 Page 19 March 2017

The restoration of Martin Dairy is likely to increase the wetland footprint on -site to include the old
channel bed and newly created floodplain. This, along with the development of a riparian forest, should
increase the Site's ability to cycle and store nutrients. The efficacy of nutrient cycling is likely to increase
as the forest matures and develops a seasonal input of organic material into the system. An estimate of
the percent reduction in nitrogen (TN) and phosphorus (TP) was made using a simplified version of the
Tar -Pamlico Nutrient Calculation Sheet, which estimates typical nutrient loading based on land use. Pre -
project conditions reflected managed pasture while post -project conditions modeled the project area as
wooded. The area within the channel was not included in either model (calculations in Appendix 4). The
worksheet estimated that the land use conversion would result in a 54% reduction in TN and a 77%
reduction in TP from on -site sources. This equates to an annual load reduction of 5.3 Ibs of TN and 2.3
Ibs of TP. These numbers do not include the probable reductions associated with riparian wetlands.
Despite the potential increase in the Site's ability to cycle nutrients post -restoration, the Site may still be
considered to be functioning -at -Risk with a trend towards Functioning in regards to pollutants. The
restoration will not address pollutant sources within the greater watershed, and the Site is not large
enough to provide substantial enough nutrient sinks or denitrification from hyporheic exchange.
The Site is connected to a wooded parcel downstream. Once a riparian buffer is established on -site,
mammalian and avian species will likely migrate to the newly forested area.
8.7 Vegetation and Planting Plan
The objective of the planting plan is to establish, over time, a thriving riparian buffer composed of native
tree species. This restored buffer will improve riparian habitat, help the restored streams stay stable,
shade the streams, and provide a source for LWD and organic material to the streams. The Site will also
generate Riparian Buffer Credits as well as SMUs for the Neuse 01 CU in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B
.0295 (Effective November 1, 2015). The Site will be planted to the extents of the conservation
easement, to include the additional buffer areas as shown in Figure 11. Riparian buffers will be seeded
and planted with early successional native vegetation (a mixture of trees and shrubs). The specific
species composition to be planted was selected based on the community type, observation of
occurrence of species in riparian buffers adjacent to the Site, best professional judgement on species
establishment and anticipated Site conditions in the early years following project implementation, and
the requirement of a minimum of four species according to Rule 0295. Species chosen for the planting
plan are listed on Sheet 2.0 of the Draft Plans located in Appendix 6. The Draft Plans also contain
additional guidance on planting zones, Site preparation, and Site stabilization during construction.
The riparian buffer areas will be planted with bare root seedlings. In addition, the top of banks will be
planted with live stakes and the channel toe will be planted with multiple herbaceous species. Livestakes
will not be located on UT1 due to the size of the channel. Permanent herbaceous seed will be spread on
streambanks, floodplain areas, and all disturbed areas within the project easement. Permanent
herbaceous seed will also be placed within the internal easement break for the utility crossing.
To help ensure tree growth and survival, soil amendments may be added to areas of the floodplain
along Martin Dairy where overburden material is removed. Soil tests will be performed in areas of cut
and fertilizer and lime will be applied based on the results. Additionally, topsoil will be stockpiled,
reapplied, and disked before permanent seeding and planting activities take place.
Species planted as bare roots will be planted a 12-foot by 6-foot spacing (targeted densities after
monitoring year 3 are 320 stems per acre). Live stakes will be planted on channel banks at 6-foot
spacing. Live stakes will be installed above base flow elevation.
The presence of invasive species on Martin Dairy Mitigation Site is limited to the streambanks on
existing streams. The most prevalent species, Chinese privet (Lagustrum sinese), is spread throughout
W Martin Dairy Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No.97087 Page 20 March 2017

the length of the project. Multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora) is also scattered along the existing stream
banks, but in much lower quantities. Cattail (Typha latifolia) is present in small quantities and is limited
to the stagnant area on UT1.
The goal of this project is to treat and remove as much existing invasive species as possible before and
during construction. Post construction, the presence and extents of invasive species will be monitored.
Treatment of invasive species will continue as necessary throughout the life of the project to ensure
project stability and success of the riparian and streambank vegetation. Additional monitoring and
maintenance issues regarding vegetation a Sections 9 and 10 and Appendix 7.
8.8 Project Risk and Uncertainties
This project is low risk. The land use surrounding the project is currently in hay production, so there is
not a potential for accidental livestock access. There is one break in the easement for the maintenance
of an overhead utility line. This area may be mowed or maintained periodically by Piedmont Electric
Membership Corporation. It is very unlikely that utility maintenance personnel would cross the stream,
as there is access to the western utility pole by the gravel drive located at the north end of the project. A
riffle was designed in this easement break to ensure channel bank and bed stability. Due to the rural
nature of the area, there is very little risk that changes in land use upstream in the project watershed
would alter the hydrology or sediment supply to the degree that the project is put at risk. The easement
is excluded from stream credit calculations.
9.0 Performance Standards
The stream and wetland performance standards for the project will follow approved performance
standards presented in the DMS Mitigation Plan Template (version 2.3, 12/18/2014), the Annual
Monitoring Template (April 2015), and the Stream Mitigation Guidelines issued April 2003 by the USACE
and DWR. Annual monitoring and semi-annual site visits will be conducted to assess the condition of the
finished project. Specific performance standard components are proposed for stream morphology,
hydrology, and vegetation. Performance standards will be evaluated throughout the seven-year post -
construction monitoring.
9.1 Streams
9.1.1 Dimension
Riffle cross -sections on the restoration reaches should be stable and should show little change in
bankfull area, maximum depth ratio, and width -to -depth ratio. Per DMS guidance, bank height ratios
shall not exceed 1.2 and entrenchment ratios shall be at least 2.2 for restored C and E channels to be
considered stable. All riffle cross -sections should fall within the parameters defined for channels of the
designed stream type. If any changes do occur, these changes will be evaluated to assess whether the
stream channel is showing signs of instability. Indicators of instability include a vertically incising thalweg
or eroding channel banks. Changes in the channel that indicate a movement toward stability or
enhanced habitat include a decrease in the width -to -depth ratio in meandering channels or an increase
in pool depth. Remedial action would not be taken if channel changes indicate a movement toward
stability.
9.1.2 Pattern and Profile
Visual assessments and photo documentation should indicate that streams are remaining stable and do
not indicate a trend toward vertical or lateral instability.
9.1.3 Substrate
Channel substrate materials will be sampled with the pebble count method along Martin Dairy and UT1.
Restoration reaches should show maintenance of coarser materials in the riffle features and smaller
W Martin Dairy Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No.97087 Page 21 March 2017

particles in the pool features. A reach -wide pebble count will be performed in each restoration reach
each monitoring year for classification purposes. A pebble count will be performed at each surveyed
riffle to characterize the pavement.
9.1.4 Photo Documentation
Photographs should illustrate the Site's vegetation and morphological stability on an annual basis. Cross-
section photos should demonstrate no excessive erosion or degradation of the banks. Longitudinal
photos should indicate the absence of persistent of mid -channel bars or vertical incision. Grade control
structures should remain stable. Deposition of sediment on the bank side of vane arms is preferable.
Maintenance of scour pools on the channel side of vane arms is expected.
9.1.5 Bankfull Events
The occurrence of bankfull events and geomorphically significant events will be documented throughout
the monitoring period. Two bankfull flow events must be documented within the seven-year monitoring
period. The two bankfull events must occur in separate years. Also, two geomorphically significant
events must be documented during the monitoring period as well. For these purposes, a geomorphically
significant event is a flow event that is between 66% of the two-year discharge. These events may occur
in the same year. Stream monitoring will continue until performance standards in the form of two
bankfull events in separate years and two additional geomorphically significant events have been
documented.
9.2 Vegetation
Vegetative performance for riparian buffers associated with the stream restoration component of the
project (buffer widths 0 — 50ft) will be in accordance with the Stream Mitigation Guidelines issued April
2003 by the USACE and DWR. The success criteria is an interim survival rate of 320 planted stems per
acre at the end of monitoring year three (MY3), 260 stems per acre at the end of monitoring year 5
(MY5) and a final vegetation survival rate of 210 stems per acre at the end of monitoring year 7 (MY7).
A separate buffer monitoring report will be submitted to NCDWR no later than December 31 of each
year for a minimum of five consecutive years after the first full growing season (MY1, 2, 3, 4, and 5). At
the completion of monitoring year 5, DMS will request closeout of the buffer portion of the project,
assuming vegetation criteria is met.
Vegetative performance for buffer restoration areas (Figure 11) will be in accordance with 15A NCAC
02B .0295(n)(2)(B), € and (n)(4) (effective November 1, 2015). To meet success, areas generating buffer
mitigation credits shall include a minimum of four native hardwood tree species or four native
hardwood tree and native shrub species, where no one species is greater than 50 percent of stems, and
have a survival of 260 planted stems per acre at the end of the required monitoring period (MY5) (no
interim success criteria required). In order for the monitoring to be terminated, DWR must provide a
written approval of vegetation success of buffer restoration areas generating buffer credit.
The extent of invasive species coverage will be monitored and controlled as necessary throughout the
required monitoring period (MY5 or MY7).
9.3 Visual Assessments
Visual assessments should support the specific performance standards for each metric as described
above.
10.0 Monitoring Plan
The Site monitoring plan has been developed to ensure that the required performance standards are
met and project goals and objectives are achieved. Annual monitoring data will be reported using the
W Martin Dairy Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No.97087 Page 22 March 2017

DIMS Annual Monitoring Reporting Template (April 2015). The monitoring report shall provide project
data chronology that will facilitate an understanding of project status and trends, ease population of
DMS databases for analysis and research purposes, and assist in close-out decision making.
Using the DIMS As -Built Baseline Monitoring Report Template (February 2014), a baseline monitoring
document and as -built record drawings of the project will be developed within 60 days of the planting
completion and monitoring installation on the restored site. Monitoring reports will be prepared in the
fall of each monitoring year and submitted to DIMS by November 30. These reports will be based on the
DMS Annual Monitoring Template (April 2015) and Closeout Report Template (March 2015). DIMS
monitoring reports will be submitted in monitoring years 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7. Closeout monitoring period
will be seven years beyond completion of construction or until performance standards have been met.
A separate buffer monitoring report will be submitted annually to NCDWR as described in section 9.2, in
monitoring years 1,2,3,4, and 5. Also, a separate as -built report will be developed within 30 days of the
planting completion and submitted to NCDWR. All reports submitted to NCDWR will follow the typical
NCDWR format. Closeout monitoring period for buffers will be five years beyond completion of
construction or until performance standards have been met.
Table 14, below, describes how the monitoring plan is set up in order to verify project goals and
objectives have been achieved.

1. Cross -sections will be permanently marked with rebar to establish location. Surveys will include points measured at all
breaks in slope, including top of bank, bankfull, edge of water, and thalweg.
2. Pattern and profile will be assessed visually during semi-annual site visits. Longitudinal profile will be collected during as -
built baseline monitoring survey only, unless observations indicate lack of stability and profile survey is warranted in
additional years.
3. Crest gages and/or transducers will be inspected quarterly or semi-annually, evidence of bankfull events will be
documented with a photo when possible. Transducers, if used, will be set to record stage once every 2 hours. The
transducer will be inspected and downloaded semi-annually.
4. Vegetation monitoring will follow CVS protocols, separate monitoring reports will be submitted to NCDMS and NCDWR.
5. Locations of exotic and nuisance vegetation will be mapped.
6. Locations of vegetation damage, boundary encroachments, etc. will be mapped.
11.0 Long -Term Management Plan
The site will be transferred to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ)
Stewardship Program. This party shall serve as conservation easement holder and long-term steward for
the property and will conduct periodic inspection of the site to ensure that restrictions required in the
conservation easement are upheld. The NCDEQ Stewardship Program is developing an endowment
system within the non -reverting, interest -bearing Conservation Lands Conservation Fund Account. The
use of funds from the Endowment Account will be governed by North Carolina General Statue GS 113A-
232(d)(3). Interest gained by the endowment fund may be used for the purpose of stewardship,
monitoring, stewardship administration, and land transaction costs, if applicable.
The Stewardship Program will periodically install signage as needed to identify boundary markings as
needed. Any livestock or associated fencing or permanent crossings will be the responsibility the owner

12.0 Adaptive Management Plan
Upon completion of Site construction, Wildlands will implement the post -construction monitoring
defined in Sections 9 and 10. Project maintenance will be performed during the monitoring years to
address minor issues as necessary (Appendix 7). If, during the course of annual monitoring it is
determined the Site's ability to achieve Site performance standards are jeopardized, Wildlands will
notify the DMS of the need to develop a Plan of Corrective Action. Once the Plan of Corrective Action is
prepared and finalized Wildlands will:
• Notify the USACE as required by the Nationwide 27 permit general conditions;
• Revise performance standards, maintenance requirements, and monitoring requirements as
necessary and/or required by the USACE;
• Obtain other permits as necessary;
• Implement the Corrective Action Plan; and
• Provide the USACE a Record Drawing of Corrective Actions. This document shall depict the
extent and nature of the work performed.

NOTIFICATION OF JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION
Land Owner: Mr. Ted Martin and Ms. Ruby Martin
Address: 7205 Schley Road
Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278
Applicant/Agent: Wildlands Engineering, Inc.
Mr. Win Taylor
Address: 497 Bramson Court, Suite 104

Size (acres) 9_5 Nearest Town Hillsborough
Nearest Waterway Buckwater Creek River Basin Neuse
USGS HUC 03020201 Coordinates Latitude: 36.12329
Longitude:-79.00402
Location description: The Martin Dairy Mitigation Site is located on an approximate 9.5 acre tract of land near
Hillsborough in Orange County, North Carolina. Orange County, North Carolina Parcel Index Numbers: 9896830483 and
9896839111. Waters on -site drain into Buckwater Creek, an indirect tributary of the Neuse River.
Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
A. Preliminary Determination
X There are waters, including wetlands, on the above described project area, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). The
waters, including wetlands, have been delineated, and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently accurate
and reliable. Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction determination may be used in the permit evaluation process, including
determining compensatory mitigation. For purposes of computation of impacts, compensatory mitigation requirements, and other
resource protection measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat all waters and wetlands that
would be affected in any way by the permitted activity on the site as if they are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. This preliminary
determination is not an appealable action under the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process (Reference 33 CFR Part
331). However, you may request an approved JD, which is an appealable action, by contacting the Corps district for further
instruction.
_ There are wetlands on the above described property, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33
USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). However, since the
waters, including wetlands, have not been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdiction determination may not be used in the
permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation, this preliminary determination is merely an effective
presumption of CWA/RHA jurisdiction overall of the waters, including wetlands, at the project area, which is not sufficiently
accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision. We recommend that you have the waters of the U.S. on your
property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to
obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps.
B. Approved Determination
_ There are Navigable Waters of the United States within the above described property subject to the permit requirements of
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC §
1344). Unless there is a change in law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to
exceed five years from the date of this notification.
_ There are waters of the U.S., including wetlands, on the above described project area subject to the permit requirements of
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) (33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations,
this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.

_ We recommend you have the waters of the U.S. on your property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish
this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by
the Corps.
_ The waters of the U.S., including wetlands, on your project area have been delineated and the delineation has been verified
by the Corps. If you wish to have the delineation surveyed, the Corps can review and verify the survey upon completion. Once
verified, this survey will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWA and/or RHA jurisdiction on your property
which, provided there is no change in the law or our published regulations, may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five
years.
_ The waters of the U.S., including wetlands, have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat signed
by the Corps Regulatory Official identified below on . Unless there is a change in the law or our published
regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
_ There are no waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, present on the above described project area which are subject to the permit
requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published
regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
_ The property is located in one of the 20 Coastal Counties subject to regulation under the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA).
You should contact the Division of Coastal Management in Morehead City, NC, at [phone] to determine their
requirements.
Basis For Determination: On June 13, 2016, Wildlands Engineering, Inc. submitted a preliminary iurisdictional
determination (JD) to our office for review. Representatives from the United States Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) and
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. participated in an on -site field verification conducted on July 28, 2016. During this investigation
the Corps requested additional information required to accuracy describe and delineate waters within the Martin Dairy
Mitigation Site. Final revisions were received by our office on August 5, 2016.
Based on a review of the June 13, 2016 report submitted to our office, on -site field verification on July 28, 2016, and final
revisions received on August 2016, this office has determined that 1,840 linear feet of perennial stream channel and 2.848 acres
of emergent wetland are present within the Martin Dairy Mitigation Site proiect boundary. Refer to the enclosed Preliminary
Jurisdictional Determination Form, Aquatic Resource Table, and Figure 3 Site Map for a detailed summary of waters on -site.
E. Attention USDA Program Participants
This delineation/determination has been conducted to identify the limits of Corps' Clean Water Act jurisdiction for the particular site
identified in this request. The delineation/determination may not be valid for the wetland conservation provisions of the Food Security
Act of 1985. If you or your tenant are USDA Program participants, or anticipate participation in USDA programs, you should request
a certified wetland determination from the local office of the Natural Resources Conservation Service, prior to starting work.
F. Appeals Information (This information applies only to approved jurisdiction determinations as indicated in B and
C above).
This correspondence constitutes an approved jurisdiction determination for the above described site. If you object to this
determination, you may request an administrative appeal under Corps regulations at 33 CFR Part 331. Enclosed you will find a
Notification of Appeal Process (NAP) fact sheet and request for appeal (RFA) form. If you request to appeal this determination you
must submit a completed RFA form to the following address:
US Army Corps of Engineers
South Atlantic Division
Attn: Jason Steele, Review Officer
60 Forsyth Street SW, Room 10M15
Atlanta, Georgia 30303-8801
Phone: [phone]

under 33 CFR part 331.5, and that it has been received by the Division Office within 60 days of the date of the NAP. Should you
decide to submit an RFA form, it must be received at the above address by
**It is not necessary to submit an RFA form to the Division Office if you do not object to the determination in this correspondence.**

Corps to reevaluate the JD.
SECTION II - REQUEST FOR APPEAL or OBJECTIONS TO AN INITIAL PROFFERED PERMIT
REASONS FOR APPEAL OR OBJECTIONS: (Describe your reasons for appealing the decision or your objections to an initial
proffered permit in clear concise statements. You may attach additional information to this form to clarify where your reasons or
objections are addressed in the administrative record.)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The appeal is limited to a review of the administrative record, the Corps memorandum for the
record of the appeal conference or meeting, and any supplemental information that the review officer has determined is needed to
clarify the administrative record. Neither the appellant nor the Corps may add new information or analyses to the record.
However, you may provide additional information to clarify the location of information that is already in the administrative
record.

E. REVIEW PERFORMED FOR SITE EVALUATION (CHECK ALL THAT APPLIES):
® Office (Desk) Determination. Date: December 9, 2016
® Field Determination. Date(s): July 28, 2016
1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the United States on the subject site, and the permit
applicant or other affected party who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to request and obtain an
approved jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site. Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other person who requested this
preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an approved JD in this instance and at this time.
2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other
general permit verification requiring "pre -construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non -reporting NWP or
other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an approved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby
made aware of the following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization based on a preliminary JD, which
does not make an official determination of jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approved JD
before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an approved JD
could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that the applicant has the
right to request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit
authorization; (4) that the applicant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and
conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5) that
undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting an approved JD constitutes the
applicant's acceptance of the use of the preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is practicable;

(6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any
form of Corps permit authorization based on a preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all wetlands and other water bodies on
the site affected in any way by that activity are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes any challenge to such
jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal
court; and (7) whether the applicant elects to use either an approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD will be processed as soon as
is practicable. Further, an approved JD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or
individual permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331, and that in any administrative appeal,
jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33 C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary to make
an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters
on the site, the Corps will provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable.
This preliminary JD finds that there "may be" waters of the United States on the subject project site, and identifies all aquatic
features on the site that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:

Appendix 3
DWR Stream Identification Forms

1.0 DWR Stream Classification
The results of the DWR Stream Classification Forms are listed in the table below. DWR forms can be
found in this appendix and in the digital submission to DMS. DWR forms were completed by Wildlands
for Martin Dairy and UT1. On April 5, 2016 a DWR representative came to the site and classified E1, an
ephemeral reach, on the property and provided the total stream score to Wildlands. DWR noted that
riparian buffer credit could be applied to this reach during design if so desired. Wildlands has not
requested credit for buffer along this reach.

Re: Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset — Martin Dairy Creek
Located on Schley Rd across from Martin Hill Ln, Hillsborough, NC
Orange County
Dear John,
On April 5, 2016, Katie Merritt, with the Division of Water Resources (DWR), assisted you and
others from Wildlands Engineering Inc. at the proposed Martin Dairy Mitigation Site {Site} in
Hillsborough, NC. The Site is located in the Upper Falls Watershed for the Neuse River Basin
within the S-digit Hydrologic Unit Code 03020201. The Site is being proposed as part of a full -
delivery stream restoration project for the Division of Mitigation Services (RFP #16-006477).
The Interagency Review Team (IRT) was also present onsite. At your request, Ms. Merritt,
performed a site assessment of the two features onsite, which are more accurately shown in the
attached aerial signed by Ms. Merritt on April 15, 2016. If approved, mitigating this site could
provide stream mitigation credits, riparian buffer credits and/or nutrient offset credits.
Ms. Merritt's evaluation of the features for buffer and nutrient offset mitigation pursuant to Rule
15A NCAC 02B .0295 (effective November 1, 2015) and Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0240 is
provided below:
Martin Dairy Creek and UT2
o Features are streams.
Land use within the riparian areas (0 to +/- 200') adjacent to both sides of the streams
comprise of managed fescue.
■ The riparian areas along the streams are viable for riparian restoration and suitable for
buffer mitigation only.
• Stream restoration is proposed on these streams. Therefore, riparian restoration efforts
shall occur in conjunction with the stream restoration and not before.
■ For nutrient offset viability to be determined, the landowner must provide proof in
writing that the land is being used for agriculture or has been used for agriculture
previously. Dates supported by photos or other written records must be included to
document any uses of the land not observed during the site visit on April 5, 2016.

Ephemeral Reach
• The feature is a modified natural channel located within a topographic crenulation indicative
of a natural drainage on the 1:24,000 quad topographic map prepared by the U.S. Geologic
Survey. Ms. Merritt rated the channel using the NC DWR Stream Identification Form
Version 4.11. The rating she received on the fora was a 14.5; Therefore, the feature is
ephemeral.
• Land use within the riparian areas (0 to +/- 200') adjacent to both sides of the streams
comprise of managed fescue.
• The riparian areas along the streams are viable for riparian restoration and suitable for
buffer mitigation only.
■ For nutrient offset viability to be determined, the landowner must provide proof in
writing that the land is being used for agriculture or has been used for agriculture
previously. Dates, supported by photos or other written records, must be included to
document any uses of the land not observed during the site visit on April 5, 2016.
Maps showing the project site and the features are provided and signed by Ms. Merritt on April
15, 2016. This letter should be provided in all future mitigation plans for this Site. In addition,
all vegetative plantings, performance criteria and mitigation requirements for riparian restoration
must following the requirements in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 to be eligible for buffer and nutrient
offset credits.
For any areas depicted as not being viable for nutrient offset credit, one could propose a different
measure other than riparian restoration, along with supporting calculations and sufficient detail
to support estimates of load reduction, for review by the DWR to determine viability for nutrient
offset according to 15A NCAC 02B .0240.
Please contact Katie Merritt at (919)-807-6371 if you have any questions regarding this
correspondence.
Sincerely,
Karen Higgins, Supervisor

Categorical Exclusion
SUMMARY

Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA)
The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) provides a
Federal "Superfund" to clean up uncontrolled or abandoned hazardous -waste sites as well as accidents,
spills, and other emergency releases of pollutants and contaminants into the environment.
As the Martin Dairy Mitigation Site is a full -delivery project; an EDR Radius Map Report with Geocheck
was ordered for the site through Environmental Data Resources, Inc. on April 14, 2016. Neither the
target property, nor immediately adjacent properties, were listed in any of the Federal, State, or Tribal
environmental databases searched by EDR. Overall, there was one Leaking Underground Storage Tank
(LUST) site and one Underground Storage Tank (UST) sites found in the databases searched. The LUST
site is the same physical location as the UST site, 7500 Schley Road. These two locations are
approximately 1,500 feet downstream from the specific project area.
Overall, the assessment revealed no evidence of any "recognized environmental conditions" in
connection with the target property. The Executive Summary of the EDR report is included in the
Appendix. The full report is available if needed.
National Historic Preservation Act (Section 106)
The National Historic Preservation Act declares a national policy of historic preservation to protect,
rehabilitate, restore, and reuse districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects significant in American
architecture, history, archaeology, and culture, and Section 106 mandates that federal agencies take
into account the effect of an undertaking on a property that is included in, or is eligible for inclusion in,
the National Register of Historic Places.
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. (Wildlands) requested review and comment from the State Historic
Preservation Office (SHPO) with respect to any archeological and architectural resources related to the
Martin Dairy Mitigation Site on April 15, 2016. SHPO responded on May 12, 2016 and stated they were
aware of no historic resources that would be affected by the project. All correspondence related to
Section 106 is included in the Appendix.
Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act (Uniform Act)
These acts, collectively known as the Uniform Act, provide for uniform and equitable treatment of
persons displaced from their homes, businesses, non-profit associations, or farms by federal and
federally -assisted programs, and establish uniform and equitable land acquisition policies.
Martin Dairy Mitigation Site is a full -delivery project that includes land acquisition. Notification of the
fair market value of the project property and the lack of condemnation authority by Wildlands was
included in the signed option agreement for the project property. A copy of the relevant section of the
option agreement is included in the Appendix.
Endangered Species Act (ESA)
Section 7 of the ESA requires federal agencies, in consultation with and with the assistance of the
Secretary of the Interior or of Commerce, as appropriate, to ensure that actions they authorize, fund or
carry out are not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of threatened or endangered species or
result in the destruction or adverse modification of critical habitat for these species.
The Orange County listed endangered species include the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) (BGPA),
dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon), smooth coneflower (Echinacea laevigata) and the
Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxii). The USFWS does not currently list any Critical Habitat Designations
for any of the Federally -listed species within Orange County. Wildlands requested review and comment
r Martin Dairy Mitigation Site Categorical Exclusion
y/ DMS #97087

from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) on April 15, 2016 in respect to the Martin Dairy
Mitigation Site and its potential impacts on threatened or endangered species. USFWS responded on
May 5, 2016 and stated the "proposed action is not likely to adversely affect any federally listed
endangered or threatened species, their formally designated critical habitat or species currently
proposed for listing under the Act". All correspondence with USFWS is included in the Appendix.
As a result of a pedestrian survey conducted on September 3, 2015, no individual species, suitable
habitat or critical habitat were found to exist on the site for any of the listed species. It was determined
that the project would result in "no effect" on the listed species.
Farmland Protection Policy Act (FPPA)
The FPPA requires that, before taking or approving any federal action that would result in conversion of
farmland, the agency must examine the effects of the action using the criteria set forth in the FPPA, and,
if there are adverse effects, must consider alternatives to lessen them.
The Martin Dairy Mitigation Site includes the conversion of prime farmland. As such, Form AD-1006 has
been completed and submitted to the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). The completed
form and correspondence documenting its submittal is included in the Appendix.
Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (FWCA)
The FWCA requires consultation with the USFWS and the appropriate state wildlife agency on projects
that alter or modify a water body. Reports and recommendations prepared by these agencies document
project effects on wildlife and identify measures that may be adopted to prevent loss or damage to
wildlife resources.
The Martin Dairy Mitigation Site includes stream restoration. Wildlands requested comment on the
project from both the USFWS and the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) on April
15, 2016. NCWRC responded on May 3, 2016 and stated they "do not anticipate the project to result in
significant adverse impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources". The USFWS responded on May
5, 2016 and had no objections to the project. All correspondence with the two agencies is included in
the Appendix.
Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA)
The MBTA makes it unlawful for anyone to kill, capture, collect, possess, buy, sell, trade, ship, import, or
export any migratory bird. The indirect killing of birds by destroying their nests and eggs is covered by
the MBTA, so construction in nesting areas during nesting seasons can constitute a taking.
Wildlands requested comment on the Martin Dairy Stream Mitigation Site from the USFWS in regards to
migratory birds on April 15, 2016. USFWS responded on May 5, 2016, but had no comments regarding
migratory birds. All correspondence with USFWS is included in the Appendix.

Subject: Martin Dairy Mitigation Site
Orange County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Suiter,
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. requests review and comment on any possible issues that might
emerge with respect to endangered species, migratory birds or other trust resources associated
with the proposed Martin Dairy Mitigation Site. A USGS map and aerial maps showing the
approximate project area are enclosed. The topographic figure was prepared from the
Hillsborough and Caldwell, 7.5-Minute USGS Topographic Quadrangles.
The Martin Dairy Mitigation Site is being developed to provide in -kind mitigation for
unavoidable stream channel impacts. Several sections of channel have been identified as
significantly degraded. This will be a stream restoration project only. The site has
historically been disturbed due to agricultural use, primarily for livestock production.
According to your website (http://ecos.fws.gov/tess_public/reports/species-by-current-range-
county), the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta
heterodon), smooth coneflower (Echinacea laevigata) and the Michaux's sumac (Rhus
michauxii) are the federally -listed species in Orange County. We are requesting that you
provide any known information on these species.
If we have not heard from you in 3o days we will assume that you do not have any comments
regarding associated laws and that you do not have any information relevant to this projects at
the current time.
We thank you in advance for your timely response and cooperation. Please feel free to contact
us with any questions that you may have concerning this project.

Re: Martin Dairy Mitigation Site — Orange County, NC
Dear Mrs. Davis:
This letter is to inform you that a list of all federally -protected endangered and threatened species
with known occurrences in North Carolina is now available on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service's (Service) web page at http://www.fws,gov/raleigh. Therefore, if you have projects that
occur within the Raleigh Field Office's area of responsibility (see attached county list), you no
longer need to contact the Raleigh Field Office for a list of federally -protected species.
Our web page contains a complete and frequently updated list of all endangered and threatened
species protected by the provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)(Act), and a list of federal species of concern' that are known to occur in
each county in North Carolina.
Section 7 of the Act requires that all federal agencies (or their designated non-federal
representative), in consultation with the Service, insure that any action federally authorized,
funded, or carried out by such agencies is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any
federally -listed endangered or threatened species. A biological assessment or evaluation may be
prepared to fulfill that requirement and in detennining whether additional consultation with the
Service is necessary. In addition to the federally -protected species list, information on the
species' life histories and habitats and information on completing a biological assessment or
evaluation and can be found on our web page at http://www,fws.gov/raleigh. Please check the
web site often for updated information or changes.
' The term "federal species of concern" refers to those species which the Service believes might be in need of
concentrated conservation actions. Federal species of concern receive no legal protection and their designation does
not necessarily imply that the species will eventually be proposed for listing as a federally endangered or threatened
species. However, we recommend that all practicable measures be taken to avoid or minimize adverse impacts to
federal species of concern.

If your project contains suitable habitat for any of the federally -listed species known to be
present within the county where your project occurs, the proposed action has the potential to
adversely affect those species. As such, we recommend that surveys be conducted to determine
the species' presence or absence within the project area. The use of North Carolina Natural
Heritage program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys.
If you determine that the proposed action may affect (i.e., likely to adversely affect or not likely
to adversely affect) a federally -protected species, you should notify this office with your
determination, the results of your surveys, survey methodologies, and an analysis of the effects
of the action on listed species, including consideration of direct, indirect, and cumulative effects,
before conducting any activities that might affect the species. If you determine that the proposed
action will have no effect (i.e., no beneficial or adverse, direct or indirect effect) on federally
listed species, then you are not required to contact our office for concurrence (unless an
Environmental Impact Statement is prepared). However, you should maintain a complete record
of the assessment, including steps leading to your determination of effect, the qualified personnel
conducting the assessment, habitat conditions, site photographs, and any other related articles.
With regard to the above -referenced project, we offer the following remarks, Our comments are
submitted pursuant to, and in accordance with, provisions of the Endangered Species Act.
Based on the information provided and other information available, it appears that the proposed
action is not likely to adversely affect any federally -listed endangered or threatened species, their
formally designated critical habitat, or species currently proposed for listing under the Act at
these sites. We believe that the requirements of section 7(a)(2) of the Act have been satisfied for
your project. Please remember that obligations under section 7 consultation must be
reconsidered if: (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect
listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered; (2) this action is
subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review; or, (3) a new species
is listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected by the identified action.
However, the Service is concerned about the potential impacts the proposed action might have
on aquatic species. Aquatic resources are highly susceptible to sedimentation. Therefore, we
reconunend that all practicable measures be taken to avoid adverse impacts to aquatic species,
including implementing directional boring methods and stringent sediment and erosion control
measures. An erosion and sedimentation control plan should be submitted to and approved by
the North Carolina Division of Land Resources, Land Quality Section prior to construction.
Erosion and sedimentation controls should be installed and maintained between the construction
site and any nearby down -gradient surface waters. In addition, we recommend maintaining
natural, vegetated buffers on all streams and creeks adjacent to the project site.
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has developed a Guidance Memorandum (a
copy can be found on our website at (http://www.fws.gov/raleigh) to address and mitigate
secondary and cumulative impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources and water quality.
We recommend that you consider this document in the development of your projects and in
completing an initiation package for consultation (if necessary).
IN

We hope you find our web page useful and informative and that following the process described
above will reduce the time required, and eliminate the need, for general correspondence for
species' lists. If you have any questions or comments, please contact Kathy Matthews of this
office at [phone] ext. 27.
Sincerely,
Pete Benjamin

Dear Mr. Eckardt
Thank you for your letter dated August 4, 2015, Subject: AD1006 Form - Martin
Dairy Mitigation Site - Orange County, NC. The following guidance is provided
for your information.
Projects are subject to the Farmland Protection Policy Act (FPPA) requirements
if they may irreversibly convert farmland (directly or indirectly) to non-
agricultural use and are completed by a federal agency or with assistance from a
federal agency. Farmland means prime or unique farmlands as defined in section
1540(c)(1) of the FPPA or farmland that is determined by the appropriate state or
unit of local government agency or agencies with concurrence of the Secretary of
Agriculture to be farmland of statewide local importance.
For the purpose of FPPA, farmland includes prime farmland, unique farmland,
and land of statewide or local importance. Farmland subject to FPPA
requirements does not have to be currently used for cropland. It can be
forestland, pastureland, cropland, or other land, but not water or urban built-up
land.
Farmland does not include land already in or committed to urban development
or water storage. Farmland already in urban development or water storage
includes all such land with a density of 30 structures per 40-acre area. Farmland
already in urban development also includes lands identified as urbanized area
(UA) on the Census Bureau Map, or as urban area mapped with a tint overprint
on the United States Geological Survey (USGS) topographical maps, or as
urban -built-up on the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)
Important Farmland Maps.
The area in question meets one or more of the above criteria for Farmland.
Farmland area will be affected or converted. Enclosed is the Farmland
Conversion Impact Rating form AD1006 with PARTS II, IV and V completed by
NRCS. The corresponding agency will need to complete the evaluation,
according to the Code of Federal Regulation 7CFR 658, Farmland Protection
Policy Act.
The Natural Resources Conservation Service
is an agency of the Department of Agriculture's
Natural Resources mission.

Subject: Martin Dairy Mitigation Site
Orange County, North Carolina
Dear Ms. Deaton,
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. requests review and comment on any possible issues that
might emerge with respect to fish and wildlife issues associated with the proposed
Martin Dairy Mitigation Site. A USGS map and aerial maps showing the approximate
project area are enclosed. The topographic figure was prepared from the Hillsborough
and Caldwell, 7.5-Minute USGS Topographic Quadrangles.
The Martin Dairy Mitigation Site is being developed to provide in -kind mitigation for
unavoidable stream channel impacts. Several sections of channel have been identified
as significantly degraded. This will be a stream restoration project only. The site has
historically been disturbed due to agricultural use, primarily for livestock production.
We thank you in advance for your timely response and cooperation. Please feel free to
contact us with any questions that you may have concerning this project.
Sincerely,
Ruby M. Davis

Subject: Martin Dairy Mitigation Site, Orange County, North Carolina
Dear Ms. Davis:
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission have reviewed the subject
information. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife
Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667e) and North Carolina General Statutes
(G.S. 113-131 et seq.).
The proposed project includes stream restoration. Several sections of channel have been
identified as significantly degraded. The site has been used primarily for livestock production. The
mitigation site will provide in -kind mitigation for unavoidable stream impacts.
The project site includes an unnamed tributary to Buckwater Creek in the Neuse River basin.
Stream restoration projects often improve water quality and aquatic habitat. Establishing native,
forested buffers in riparian areas will help protect water quality, improve aquatic and terrestrial habitats,
and provide a travel corridor for wildlife species. Provided measures are taken to minimize erosion and
sedimentation from construction/restoration activities, we do not anticipate the project to result in
significant adverse impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources.
Thank you for the opportunity to review this proposed project. If we can provide further
assistance, please contact our office at [phone] or shari.bryant e,ncwildlife.org.

Stream, wetland, and floodplain grading; channel filling; in -stream structure installation; and bank stabilization
work will be completed according to the construction sequence below.
General Construction Notes for All Reaches
1. All erosion and sediment control practices shall comply with the North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control
Planning and Design Manual.
2. Contractor will install pump -around systems to divert flow while working in live, flowing channels. The
Contractor shall operate and maintain the pump -around system 24 hours a day until all disturbed areas are
stabilized. The disturbed area within the pump around must be stabilized with temporary seeding, mulch and
erosion control matting by the end of each work day. Contractor shall not remove pump -around systems and
advance to the next work area until the current work area is completed and stabilized.
3. No material from the off-line proposed stream channel excavation may be backfilled into the adjacent
existing stream channel until the newly -constructed proposed stream section is completed, stabilized, and
the stream flow has been diverted into it, not even if that section of old/ existing stream is being pumped.
4. In areas without a pump -around system, Contractor shall disturb only as much channel bank as can be
stabilized with temporary seeding, mulch, and a sod mat or erosion control matting by the end of each work
day.
5. Clearing and grubbing activities shall not extend more than 150 linear feet ahead of in -stream work.
6. When crossing an active section of new or old stream channel, a Timber Mat shall be installed according to
the details and specifications.
7. All graded areas with slopes steeper than 3:1 will be stabilized within seven (7) working days. All other areas
will be stabilized within 14 working days.
8. Locations for staging and stockpile areas and temporary stream crossings have been provided on the Plans.
Additional or alternative staging and/or stockpile areas and stream crossings may be used by the Contractor
provided that all practices comply with the North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design
Manual and that the areas are approved by the Engineer prior to implementation.
9. Various types of constructed riffles are specified on the plans. Contractor shall build the specific types of
constructed riffles at locations shown on the Plans. Changes in constructed riffle type must be approved by
the Engineer.
10. Contractor is to make every effort to avoid damaging or removing existing trees.
11. Under no circumstances will the Contractor exceed the limits of disturbance as shown on the Plans.
12. Trees are to be harvested only in the area represented on the plans, west of the easement area. Trees can be
harvested from the first 10 feet of the wood line and should be cut as close to the ground as possible. The
land owner will mark trees which will NOT be harvested prior to commencement of construction.
13. The construction entrance on the southernmost end of the project should remain in place after construction
is completed, per landowner request.
Initial Site Preparation
1. Contact North Carolina "One Call" Center (1.800.632.4949) before any excavation.
2. Contact Division of Energy,Mineral and Land Resources 919-791-4200 before an work begins on the
( ) Y g
project and notify them of the start date.
3. Mobilize equipment and materials to the Site.
4. Identify and establish construction entrance, staging and stockpile areas, haul roads, silt fence, tree
protection fencing, safety fencing, and temporary stream crossings as indicated on the Plans for work areas.
Note: Construction access will enter the site from Schley Road using two specified construction entrances.
These entrances are within temporary construction entrance easements.
S. All haul roads shall be monitored for sediment loss daily. In the event of sediment loss, silt fence or other
acceptable sediment and erosion control practices shall be installed. Silt fence outlets shall be located at
points of low elevation or a minimum spacing of 150 ft.
6. Set up temporary facilities, locate equipment within the staging area, and stockpile materials needed for the
initial stages of construction within the stockpile area(s).
7. Install and maintain an onsite rain gauge and log book to record the rainfall amounts and dates. Complete
the self -inspection as required by NCDEQ permit.
Martin Dairy Creek Reach 1, Martin Dairy Creek Reach 2, and UT1 Construction
8. Perform any necessary clearing and grubbing in phases as work progresses. Bank vegetation and vegetation
immediately adjacent to live channels shall be left undisturbed as long as possible. Remove all non-native and
invasive vegetation prior to beginning the channel construction. Take care with vegetation marked for
transplant from the old channel to new channel. Do not disturb transplant vegetation until time of
transplant.
9. Construction of all channels are to be done in the dry. Construction should generally progress from upstream
to downstream to prevent sediment runoff from upstream construction affecting completed downstream
reaches. Use a pump around as shown on the plans and discussed in the General Notes.
10. Where feasible, more than one offline section may be constructed concurrently. Offline sections shall be tied
online sequentially from downstream to upstream.
11. As work progresses, remove and stockpile the top three inches of soil from the active grading area. Stockpiled
topsoil shall be kept separate for onsite replacement prior to floodplain seeding.
12. Construct the proposed stream channel to the grade specified in the cross -sections and profile. Transfer
coarse material from abandoned channel riffles to new channel riffles utilizing a pump -around when doing
SO.
13. Grade the adjacent floodplain area according to grades shown on the plan.
14. Install in -stream structures (riffles, angled log sill, log J-hook, lunker log, and boulder sill) and in -bank
bioengineering such as brush toe and sod mats after channel grading is completed according to details and
specifications.
15. Sod mats should be used in lieu of coir fiber matting to stabilize all stream banks on site as the preferential
stabilization method. Sad mats shall be installed according to sod mat detail. Coir fiber matting may be used
where sod mats are not available or if coir fiber matting is referred at the discretion of the Engineer.
P g
16. Seed (with specified temporary seed and permanent seed mix) and straw mulch areas where the coir fiber
matting is to be installed.
17. Install coir fiber matting according to plans and specifications.
18. Backfill abandoned channel sections with stockpiled soil according to the grades shown on the Plans.
Non-native and invasive vegetation (e.g. Chinese privet and multiflora rose) shall be removed from the
existing channel prior to backfilling.
19. Prepare floodplain for seeding by applying stockpiled topsoil to the floodplain between bankfull elevation
and the grading limits, ripping, and raking/smoothing. Seed with specified temporary and permanent seed
mix and mulch. Any areas within the conservation easement that have not been graded shall be treated
according to the planting plan.
20. If at any time circumstances should arise where water has been turned into the new channel and additional
work must be done on the floodplain, erosion control devices will be installed to protect the new channel
from sedimentation.
21. Once all phases of channel and floodplain construction are complete, prepare the floodplain areas for
planting per the specifications.
22. Install livestakes and herbaceous plugs along the stream banks according to the plans and specifications.
Construction Demobilization
23. Remove temporary stream crossings.
24. The Contractor shall ensure that the site is free of trash and leftover materials prior to demobilization of
equipment from the site.
25. Complete the removal of any additional stockpiled material from the site.
26. Demobilize grading equipment from the site.
27. All rock and other stockpiled materials must be removed from the limits of disturbance and conservation
easement. All areas outside the conservation easement shall be returned to pre -project conditions or better.
28. Seed, mulch, and stabilize staging areas, stockpile areas, haul roads, and construction entrances. Pasture
seed mix is to be applied to areas of disturbance outside of the conservation easement.

Appendix 7
Maintenance Plan

1.0 Maintenance Plan
The site shall be monitored on a regular basis and a physical inspection of the site shall be conducted a
minimum of once per year throughout the post -construction monitoring period until performance
standards are met. These site inspections may identify site components and features that require
routine maintenance. Routine maintenance should be expected most often in the first two (2) years
following site construction and may include the following:
Tablel: Maintenance Plan — Martin Dairy Mitigation Site
Component/Feature
Maintenance through project close-out
Routine channel maintenance and repair activities may include chinking of in -stream
structures to prevent piping, securing of loose coir matting, and supplemental
Stream
installations of live stakes and other target vegetation along the channel. Areas where
storm water and floodplain flows intercept the channel may also require maintenance to
prevent bank erosion. Beaver dams that inundate the stream channels shall be removed
and the beaver shall be trapped if deemed necessary.
Vegetation shall be maintained to ensure the health and vigor of the targeted
community. Routine vegetation maintenance and repair activities may include
Vegetation
supplemental planting, pruning, mulching, and fertilizing. Exotic invasive plant species
shall be controlled by mechanical and/or chemical methods. Any vegetation control
requiring herbicide application will be performed in accordance with NC Department of
Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations.
Site boundaries shall be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between the
mitigation site and adjacent properties. Boundaries may be identified by fence, marker,
Site boundary
bollard, post, tree -blazing, or other means as allowed by site conditions and/or
conservation easement. Boundary markers disturbed, damaged, or destroyed will be
repaired and/or replaced on an as -needed basis.

Appendix 8
Credit Release Schedule

1.0 Credit Release Schedule
All credit releases will be based on the total credit generated as reported by the as -built survey of the
mitigation site. Under no circumstances shall any mitigation project be debited until the necessary DA
authorization has been received for its construction or the District Engineer (DE) has otherwise provided
written approval for the project in the case where no DA authorization is required for construction of
the mitigation project. The DE, in consultation with the Interagency Review Team (IRT), will determine if
performance standards have been satisfied sufficiently to meet the requirements of the release
schedules below. In cases where some performance standards have not been met, credits may still be
released depending on the specifics of the case. Monitoring may be required to restart or be extended,
depending on the extent to which the site fails to meet the specified performance standard. The release
of project credits will be subject to the criteria described as follows:

1.1 Initial Allocation of Released Credits
The initial allocation of released credits, as specified in the mitigation plan can be released by DMS
without prior written approval of the DE upon satisfactory completion of the following activities:
a. Approval of the final Mitigation Plan.
b. Recordation of the preservation mechanism, as well as a title opinion acceptable to the USACE
covering the property.
c. Completion of project construction (the initial physical and biological improvements to the
mitigation site) pursuant to the mitigation plan; per the DMS Instrument, construction means
that a mitigation site has been constructed in its entirety, to include planting, and an as -built
report has been produced. As -built reports must be sealed by an engineer prior to project
closeout, if appropriate but not prior to the initial allocation of released credits.
d. Receipt of necessary DA permit authorization or written DA approval for projects where DA
permit issuance is not required.
Martin Dairy Mitigation Site
DMS ID No. 97087 Page 1

1.2 Subsequent Credit Releases
All subsequent credit releases must be approved by the DE, in consultation with the IRT, based on a
determination that required performance standards have been achieved. For stream projects a reserve
of 10% of a site's total stream credits shall be released after two bankfull events have occurred, in
separate years, provided the channel is stable and all other performance standards are met. In the event
that less than two bankfull events occur during the monitoring period, release of these reserve credits
shall be at the discretion of the IRT. As projects approach milestones associated with credit release, the
DMS will submit a request for credit release to the DE along with documentation substantiating
achievement of criteria required for release to occur. This documentation will be included with the
annual monitoring report.

Financial Assurance

1.0 Financial Assurances
Pursuant to Section IV H and Appendix III of the Division of Mitigation Service's In -Lieu Fee Instrument
dated July 28, 2010, the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources has provided
the US Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington District with a formal commitment to fund projects to
satisfy mitigation requirements assumed by DMS. This commitment provides financial assurance for all
mitigation projects implemented by the program.
