DMS Planning Context
The Little Troublesome Creek stream restoration project is located in HUC 03030002010030, the Little Troublesome
Creek watershed, which is listed as a Targeted Local Watershed (TLW) in the 2009 Cape Fear River Basin Restoration
Priorities (RBRP). The project is also located in the Troublesome and Little Troublesome Creeks Local Watershed Plan
(LWP). There is a wetland component to this project, however it is partially within this HUC, with the majority located
outside of the watershed in a non -targeted HUC. Currently, DMS has one other project in this TLW/LWP (Little
Troublesome).
Little Troublesome Creeks drains to the Haw River approximately 5.5 miles downstream of the stream portion of this
project. Little Troublesome Creek is identified on the NC Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) 2014 303d Impaired
Waters list. It has been listed since 2000 for impaired benthic communities. Downstream of the 303d listed portion of
Little Troublesome Creek (approximately 0.5 mi downstream) Little Troublesome Creek has a TMDL that was approved
in 2002 to manage Fecal Coliform bacteria.
The 2009 Cape Fear RBRP indicates that impacts development and point sources are degrading the creek. The
Troublesome and Little Troublesome LWP indicates that Troublesome Creek suffers from significant inputs of sediment
and fecal coliform, degraded riparian buffers, floodplain development and stormwater stresses. Stream channelization is
also contributing to bank instability and active erosion. Stormwater management and stream restoration were the
priorities of the LWP for this watershed with the aim at improving water quality, habitat and hydrology.
The goals of the Little Troublesome Creek project are consistent with DMS watershed planning goals. The project
increases stream stabilization and reduces sediment inputs, decreases nutrient inputs and improves habitat conditions
through riparian buffer implementation and wetland restoration and improves instream habitat conditions.
Project Setting and Background Summary
The Little Troublesome Mitigation Site is located in Rockingham County within the Cape Fear River Basin (USGS HUC
03030002) near the town of Reidsville, North Carolina. The project consists of a Stream Site and a Wetland Site. The
Stream Site is located on the southeastern side of Reidsville and consist of Little Troublesome Creek, Irvin Creek, and
one unnamed tributary (UT1) to Little Troublesome Creek. At the downstream limits of the project, the drainage area is
3,245 acres (5.1 square miles). The Wetland Site is located approximately four miles southeast of the Stream Site and is
also adjacent to Little Troublesome Creek.
Prior to construction activities, the most significant watershed stressors identified during the technical assessment were
stream bank erosion and instability. Other stressors included declining aquatic habitat, loss of forest, degraded riparian
buffers, loss of wetlands, lack of urban stormwater detention, and water quality problems related to increased sediment
and nutrient loadings. Because of the aforementioned stressors, the Stream Site and Wetland Site had poor water
quality due to sediment pollution and poor habitat due to lack of riparian and wetland vegetation. In particular, the
Stream Site lacked stable streambank vegetation despite being surrounded by mature vegetation. The Stream Site also
lacked instream bed diversity and exhibited unstable geomorphic conditions. The project design approach was
developed to restore and protect aquatic and riparian terrestrial habitat within the project corridor. The project
provided numerous ecological benefits within the Cape Fear River Basin. While most the ecological uplift occurred at the
site level, others such as pollutant removal and improved aquatic and terrestrial habitat have the potential for more far-
reaching effects.
Overall, the project is stable and functioning as intended and has met the vegetation, stream, hydrology, and wetland
success criteria. Isolated areas of bank scour noted in previous monitoring reports have stabilized as a result of
streamside vegetation in these areas. At least two bankfull events have been documented on each restoration reach
over the five-year monitoring period. All groundwater gages on the Wetland Site met the success criterion during
monitoring years 2 through 5. A small beaver dam was noted on Irvin Creek Reach 1 in December of 2014. This beaver

dam was removed by hand and no signs of beaver have been present since. During monitoring year 3 bank scour was
documented in the meander bend at STA 207+50-208+80 (Cross Section 12) on Little Troublesome Creek. Undercutting
of the rootwads resulted in an area of bank scour within the meander bend. This was repaired during monitoring year 4
by lowering the rootwads and adding brush toe to fill in the voids. Geolifts were installed with brush whips and live
stakes to stabilize the stream bank. Also, during monitoring year 4 kudzu and multiflora rose were spayed to control
these invasive plants and keep them from spreading farther into the easement. During monitoring year 5 the stream site
had a significant flow event during Hurricane Mathew, resulting in a few isolated areas of bank scour on Little
Troublesome Creek and Irvin Creek. These areas were repaired in March 2017 with brush toe and soil lifts with live
willow whips and sod mats. Live stakes were also supplemented along stream banks to replace damaged willows from
the aforementioned beaver activity. Most of the repair work was minor and performed by hand. Heavy equipment was
only used when needed to avoid causing damage to the site. Also, during monitoring year 5, kudzu, multiflora rose, and
a small patch of privet were sprayed to control these invasive plants and prevent them from spreading farther into the
easement. The vegetative communities at the site are flourishing and are progressing towards a natural Piedmont
bottomland forest.

heating.
• In -stream habitat will be improved by creating a channel form
that includes riffle and pool sequences, gravel and cobble zones
Create appropriate in -stream habitat
for macroinvertebrate habitat and deep pool habitat for fish.
• Introduction of large woody debris, rock structures, root wads,
and native stream bank vegetation will substantially increase
habitat value.

• Adjacent buffer areas will be restored by removing invasive
vegetation and planting native vegetation.
Create appropriate terrestrial habitat
• These areas will be allowed to receive more regular inundating
flows.
• Riparian wetland areas will be restored and enhanced to provide
wetland habitat.
• By allowing for more overbank flooding and by increasing channel
roughness, local channel velocities can be reduced.
Decrease channel velocities
. This will allow for less bank shear stress, formation of refuge
zones during large storm events and zonal sorting of depositional
material.

DMS Recommendation and Conclusion
This project is stable and functioning as intended and has met the vegetation, stream, hydrology, and wetland success
criteria. The stream portion of this project provides significant uplift by stabilizing stream flow through a large and
developed watershed, providing effective downstream sediment transport processes. The project's efficacy in
attenuating stormwater flooding was demonstrated throughout this project with numerous and significant flooding
events; structures and streams have performed effectively and demonstrated stability. Ancillary benefits from the
stream restoration including vernal features and raised elevations created successful wetland fringes and contribute
positively to a watershed that has noted benthic community impairments. The wetland portion of this project will
provide significant uplift in the form of water quality and agricultural filtration to the watershed. DMS recommends
closing this site as proposed.
Contingencies

DWQ# 09-1169
Rockingham County
You have our approval to conduct wetland and stream restoration and enhancement activities, in accordance with the
attached conditions, within 5.14 acres of existing wetlands and 4,764 linear feet of existing streams located in the
Reidsville area in Rockingham County, as described in your application for the Little Troublesome Creek Mitigation
Site received by the Division of Water Quality on July 1, 2011 and additional information received September 6, 2011.
After reviewing your application, we have determined that this activity is covered by General Water Quality
Certification Number 3689, which can be viewed on our web site at littp://www.zicwaterqtiali!y.org/NN,ellaiids.litiii]. This
Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 27 when it is issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
In addition, you should secure any other applicable federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your project,
including (but not limited to) those required by Sediment and Erosion Control, Non -Discharge, and Water Supply
Watershed regulations. Also, this approval will expire when the accompanying 404 permit expires unless otherwise
specified in the General Certification. This approval shall serve to qualify the project as an exempt activity under the
Jordan Lake Riparian Buffer Rules 15A NCAC 02B .0267.
This approval is valid only for the purpose and design that you have described in your application. If you change your
project, you must notify us in writing, and you may be required to send us a new application for a new certification. If
the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the Certification and approval letter and is thereby
responsible for complying with all conditions. For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in

2. The Permittee shall ensure the wetland hydrology success criteria specify continual saturation or inundation for
7.5% of the growing season.
3. Vegetation monitoring should continue for 7 years per public notice issued by the Division on March 12, 2009
(http://portaLncdem.orwweb/wq/swp/ws/401/certsandpermits/mitigation/memos). Any large areas with poor
vegetation survival shall be addressed, regardless of whether the area is within a monitoring plot or elsewhere
within the project boundaries.
4. The permittee shall ensure that mature bees within the buffer area will be protected as much as feasible during the
construction of this project.
5. Water shall not be released into the new channel until the stream and banks are stabilized with vegetation, or
sufficient natural matting.
6. Natural streambed material shall be harvested and relocated to appropriate locations within the restored channels
to the maximum extent practical.
7. You have our approval for your proposed final wetland and stream enhancements/restorations plan. The wetland
and stream restorations/enhancements must be constructed, maintained, and monitored according to the plans
approved by this Office and this Certificate of Coverage. Any repairs or adjustments to the site must be made
according to the approved plans or must receive written approval from this Office to make the repairs or
adjustments.
8. Approval of the restoration enhancement plan and issuance of the 401 Water Quality Certification means that
DWQ has determined that the proposed activity will not remove or degrade significant existing uses of the surface
water (15A NCAC 2H .0506(a)). The issuance does not represent an approval of credit yield for the project.

Water Quality Certification No. 3689

Water Quality Certification No. 3689
Best Management Practices, shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality
standards, statutes, or rules occur.
3. Standard Erosion and Sediment Control Practices
Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications
governing the proper design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best
Management Practices:
a. Design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control
measures must be such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the
most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The
devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil)
projects, including contractor -owned or leased borrow pits associated with the project,
b. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed,
installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the
North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
c. Reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the requirements of the
Sedimentation Pollution Control Act and the Mining Act of 1971,
d. Sufficient materials required for stabilization and/or repair of erosion control measures
and stormwater routing and treatment shall be on site at all times, except for publicly
funded linear transportation projects when materials can be accessed offsite in a timely
manner..
e. If the project occurs in waters or watersheds classified as Primary Nursery Areas
(PNA's), Trout (Tr), SA, WS-I, WS-II, High Quality (HQW), or Outstanding Resource
(ORW) waters, then the sediment and erosion control requirements contained within
Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds (15A NCAC 04B .0124) supercede all other
sediment and erosion control requirements.
4. No Sediment and Erosion Control Measures in Wetlands or Waters
Sediment and erosion control measures should not be placed in wetlands or waters outside
of the permitted impact areas without prior approval by the Division. If placement of sediment
and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, design and placement of
temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in
dis-equilibrium of wetlands or stream beds or banks, adjacent to or upstream and down
stream of the above structures. All sediment and erosion control devices shall be removed
and the natural grade restored within two (2) months of the date that the Division of Land
Resources or locally delegated program has released the project.
5. Construction Stormwater Permit NCG010000
Upon the approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan issued by the Division of
Land Resources (DLR) or a DLR delegated local erosion and sedimentation control program,
an NPDES General stormwater permit (NCGO10000) administered by the Division is
automatically issued to the project. This General Permit allows stormwater to be discharged
during land disturbing construction activities as stipulated by conditions In the permit. If your
project is covered by this permit [applicable to construction projects that disturb one (1) or
more acres], full compliance with permit conditions including the sedimentation control plan,
self -monitoring, record keeping and reporting requirements are required. A copy of this
permit and monitoring report forms may be found at
h(tp://h2o enrstate.nc.us/su/Forms Documents hfm.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) shall be required to be in full
compliance with the conditions related to construction activities within the most recent version
of their individual NPDES (NCS000250) slormwater permit.
Water Quality Certification No. 3689

Water Quality Certification No. 3689
6. Construction Moratoriums and Coordination
If activities must occur during periods of high biological activity (i.e. sea turtle or bird nesting),
then biological monitoring may be required at the request of other state or federal agencies
and coordinated with these activities. This condition can be waived through written
concurrence on a case by case basis upon reasonable justification.
All moratoriums on construction activities established by the NC Wildlife Resources
Commission (WRC), US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), NC Division of Marine Fisheries
(DMF), or National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to lessen impacts on trout, anadromous
fish, Iarvallpost4arval fishes and crustaceans, or other aquatic species of concern shall be
implemented. This condition can be waived through written concurrence on a case by case
basis upon reasonable justification.
Work within the twenty-five (25) designated trout counties or identified state or federal
endangered or threatened species habitat shall be coordinated with the appropriate W RC,
USFWS, NMFS, and/or DMF personnel.
NC Wildlife Resources Commission will not object to construction of Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) 'urgent and compelling' sites during the spawning period
provided these projects are, to the extent appropriate and practical, constructed by:
a. Using flow diversion structures such as sandbags;
b. Placing large -size rock toes and filter cloth backing for stabilization sites before
backfilling; and
c. Excavating new channel alignments in dry areas.
Construction at non, urgent and compelling' sites shall not occur during the spawning period
to minimize the potential adverse effects of multiple construction activities on trout or
anadromous fish resources in this stream.
7. Work In the Dry
All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved
best management practices from the most current version of the NC Sediment and Erosion
Control Manual, or the NC DOT Construction and Maintenance Activities Manual, such as
sandbags, rock berms, cofferdams, and other diversion structures shall be used to minimize
excavation in flowing water. Exceptions to this condition require submittal to, and approval
by, the Division.
8. Riparian Area Protection (Buffer) Rules
Activities located in the protected 50-foot wide riparian areas (whether jurisdictional wetlands
or not) within the Neuse, Tar -Pamlico, Randleman, Catawba (or any other basin with buffer
rules), shall be limited to "uses" identified within and constructed In accordance with 15A
NCAC 213 .02333 .0259, .0250 and .0243, and shall be located, designed, constructed, and
maintained to have minimal disturbance to protect water quality to the maximum extent
practicable through the use of best management practices. All buffer rule requirements,
including diffuse flow requirements, must be met.
9. Water Suppiy Watershed Buffers
The 100-foot wide (high -density development) or the 30-foot wide vegetative buffer (all other
development) must be maintained adjacent to all perennial waters except for allowances as
Water Quality Certification No. 3689 3

Water Quality Certification No. 3689
provided in the Water Supply Watershed Protection Rules [15A NCAC 2B .0212 through
.02151.
10. If concrete is used during the construction, then a dry work area should be maintained to
prevent direct contact between curing concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently
contacts uncured concrete should not be discharged to surface waters due to the potential for
elevated pH and possible aquatic life/fish kills.
11. Any rip -rap shall be of such a size and density so as not to be able to be carried off by wave
or current action and consist of clean rock or masonry material free of debris or toxic
pollutants. Rip -rap shall not be installed in the streambed except in specific areas required for
velocity control and to ensure structural integrity of bank stabilization measures. If rip -rap is
to be installed within the streambed, the amount and location must be approved in writing by
the Division of Land Resources and Division of Water Quality. However, rock vanes, wing
deflectors, and similar structures for grade control and bank protection are acceptable.
12, If an environmental document is required under NEPA or SEPA, then this General
Certification is not valid until a Finding of No Significant Impact or Record of Decision is
issued by the State Clearinghouse,
13. Additional site -specific conditions may be added to the written approval attached to this
Certification in order to ensure compliance with all applicable water quality and effluent
standards.
14.This Certification shall expire three (3) years from the date of the approval letter from DWQ or
on the same day as the corresponding Nationwide Permit. In accordance with General
Statute 136-44.713, certifications issued to the NCDOT shall expire only upon expiration of the
federal 404 Permit. The conditions in effect on the date of issuance of Certification for a
specific project shall remain in effect for the life of the project, regardless of the expiration
date of this Certification. If the construction process for approved activities will overlap the
expiration and renewal date of the corresponding 404 Permit and the Corps allows for
continued use of the 404 Permit, then the General Certification shall also remain in effect
without requiring re -application and re -approval to use this Certification for the specific
impacts already approved.
15. The applicanUpenniltee and their authorized agents shall conduct all activities in a manner
consistent with State water quality standards (Including any requirements resulting from
compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act), and any other appropriate requirements of
Stale and Federal Law. If the Division determines that such standards or laws are not being
met, including failure to sustain a designated or achieved use, or that State or Federal law is
being violated, or that further conditions are necessary to assure compliance, then the
Division may reevaluate and modify this General Water Quality Certification.
16. Certificate of Completion
When written authorization is required for use of this certification, upon completion of all
permitted impacts included within the approval and any subsequent modifications, the
applicant shall be required to return the certificate of completion attached to the approval.
One copy of the certificate shall be sent to the DWQ Central Office in Raleigh at 1650 Mail
Service Center, Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650.
Non-compliance with or violation of the conditions herein set forth by a specific project shall result
in revocation of this Certification for the project and may also result in criminal and/or civil
penalties.

C. Basis For Determination
There are six streams within this project area that are relatively permanent waters (RPM) and four of them are unnamed
tributaries (UT) to Little Troublesome Creek. The fifth stream, Irving Creek, is also an RPW. These five RPW°s flow into the
sixth stream Little Troublesome Creek which is also an RPW. Little Troublesome Creek flows into the Haw River, a
traditionally navigable water (TN W), which is a tributary to the Cape Fear River a navigable water of the United States. The
Ordinary High Water Marks (OHWMs) of the streams were indicated by the following physical characteristics: Bed and
banks, clear natural line impressed on the bank, shelving, scour and changes in the character of soil. There are five wetlands
in the project area, three at the northern site location and two at the southern site location. The wetlands are adjacent with
the unnamed tributaries or Little Troublesome Creek and meet the hydrophytic vegetation, wetland hydrology, and hydric
soil criteria of the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual.
D. Remarks
The project area is split into two separate locations. All five streams and 3 wetlands are associated with the northern location
and two wetlands are associated with the southern location. The site locations are described above.
