Section 1.4 Project Performance: The NCDMS website project document link in the section should be updated to: https:Hdeq.nc.gov/about/divisions/mitigation-services/dms-projects Done. Section 1.4.1 Vegetation and Table 2: Were any exotic invasive treatments completed in MY5 (2019)? If so, please report the MY5 treatments in the text and update Table 2 accordingly. No Invasive areas are shown on the CCPV map. Please confirm that current invasives on the site are beneath the mapping threshold (1,000 SqF) or revised the CCPV map as necessary. No invasive treatments were administered in MY5 2019. Invasives are limited to outside the easement boundary and individual plants of multiflora rose covering less than 1000 sqft in area. Section 1.4.1 Vegetation: In the report text, please briefly describe the buffer planting and herbicide treatment completed in April 2019 along Parrish Branch. The rationale for the planting, approx. number of plants installed, size of plants, etc. would be helpful to document this MY5 maintenance effort. This was discussed in Section 1.4.2 as it was treatment used to address a stream geomorphology problem. RES has added more details about the work to this section. General: The MY5 (2019) report notes that groundwater monitoring well GW-1 malfunctioned and no data was retrieved for 2019. The project crest gauges were also reported as damaged. Please ensure that the well and crest gauges are replaced and functioning before the start of the 2020 growing season. DMS recommends regular groundwater monitoring well downloads to ensure consist data recording and collection. Onset was able to recover the data from the corrupt GW-1 datafile. The report has been updated to include the results. res.us 61 Table 5: The table indicates the entire as -built length of Parrish branch (402 If) is showing signs of aggradation. Please confirm that this length is correct. It may be helpful to track this length in future monitoring years to determine if the reported issue is improving. RES believes this is correct for MY5. After the MY6 water season, it will be easier to report a new length of aggradation for the MY6 report. Table 11 b — Cochran 1 a: DMS recommends adding a note to this table to indicate that there are no cross sections in this reach and accordingly no Min, Mean, Med, Max, SD, or n data is available. Done. Table 14: DMS recommends adding a note indicating that MY5 crest gauge data is unavailable due to equipment damage/ failure. Done. Digital Support File and General Report Comments: 1. Spatial Data — The asset table indicates that the quantities used in credit calculations are from the mitigation plan. The spatial features DMS is in possession of are those from the AB survey performed by Kee. Please provide the properly georeferenced GIS shapes from the design CADs that support the quantities in the asset table. The georeferenced GIS shapes from the design are included as well as the design CAD file. 2. Hydrology Data — Please make note of the gauge type (e.g. transducer, RDS etc.) used in the excel data file. Please also label any probe or benchmark elevations, the raw and corrected readings of the water elevations and any offsets applied. DMS needs to be able to clearly identify these key elevations before incorporating these into the DMS database permitting independent calculation/verification. None of the columns or key values have headers or are labelled. The DMS Excel template is an example of what is needed for reference. Done. 3. Calculation of XSA and Max depth are to completed using TOB in keeping with methods specified in the Industry Technical Work group memorandum. Please include the Bankfull and LTOB elevations used. For clarity, please make sure the reader is aware that these methods are being employed. Include a footnote: "Bank Height Ratio is calculated based on the As -built (MYO) cross -sectional area as described in the Standard Measurement of the BHR Monitoring Parameter document provided by NCIRT and NCDMS (9/2018). The remainder of the bankfull dimensions are calculated based on the current year's low bank height." Done.

Goals and Objectives The overall goals address the stressors identified in the TLW and include the following: • Improve water quality within the restored channel reaches and downstream watercourses by reducing sediment and nutrient inputs and increasing dissolved oxygen levels • Improve local aquatic and terrestrial ecological function through increased stream shading, habitat complexity, and availability of organic/woody material • Improve aquatic and benthic habitat and associated streambed form • Improve site hydrology, wetland functions, and attenuation of flood flows • Provide riparian area and wetland restoration with a native plant community • Protect the site from future land impacts The specific project objectives that are intended to target the above goals include the following: • Implement Priority I and II restoration of 1,783 feet of stream and rehabilitation/re- establishment of 4.35 acres of wetlands • Implement appropriate changes in dimension, pattern and/or profile to establish geomorphically stable conditions within the project reaches • Modify degraded stream channels to enable proper sediment transport capacity and improved streambed form • Integrate in -stream structures and native bank vegetation • Re -grade the floodplain to remove drainage ditches, spoil berms, and overburden soil • Plant native woody and herbaceous riparian vegetation within a minimum width of 30 feet from the edge of the restored channels and throughout the restored wetland area • Eradicate invasive, exotic or undesirable plant species • Install livestock exclusion fencing • Establish a permanent conservation easement 1.2. Success Criteria 1.2.1. Morphological Parameters and Channel Stability Restored and enhanced streams are in compliance with the standards set forth in the USACE 2003 Stream Mitigation Guidelines and the "Ecosystem Enhancement Program Monitoring Requirements and Performance Standards for Stream and Wetland Mitigation" dated November 7, 2011. Restored and enhanced streams should demonstrate morphologic stability to be considered successful. Stability does not equate to an absence of change, but rather to sustainable rates of change or stable patterns of variation. Restored streams often demonstrate some level of initial adjustment in the several months that follow construction and some change/variation subsequent to that is also to be expected. However, the observed change should not be unidirectional such that it represents a robust trend. If some trend is evident, it should be very modest or indicate migration to a stable form. Dimension - Cross-section measurements should indicate little change from the as -built cross -sections. If changes do occur, they will be evaluated to determine whether the adjustments are associated with increased stability or whether they indicate movement towards an unstable condition. Pattern and Profile - Visual inspection of the pattern and profile should indicate stability with little deviation from as -built conditions for the restored stream. Pool depths may vary from year to year, but the majority should maintain depths sufficient to be observed as distinct features. The pools should maintain their depth with flatter water surface slopes, Resource Environmental Solutions, LLC Cochran Branch Stream and Wetland Restoration Site Year 5 Monitoring Report • Macon County, North Carolina • January 2020 while the riffles should remain shallower and steeper. Pattern and profile measurements will not be collected unless conditions seem to indicate that a detectable and detrimental change appears to have occurred. Substrate - Calculated D5o and D84 values should indicate coarser size class distributions of bed materials in riffles and finer size class distributions in pools. The majority of riffle pebble counts should indicate maintenance or coarsening of substrate size class distributions. Generally, it is anticipated that the bed material will coarsen over time. Sediment Transport - Depositional features should be consistent with a stable stream that is effectively managing its sediment load. Point bar and inner berm features, if present, should develop without excessive encroachment of the channel. Isolated development of robust (i.e. comprised of coarse material and/or vegetated actively diverting flow) mid -channel or lateral bars will be acceptable. Likewise, development of a higher number of mid -channel or lateral bars that are minor in terms of their permanency such that profile measurements do not indicate systemic aggradation will be acceptable, but trends in the development of robust mid -channel or alternating bar features will be considered a destabilizing condition and may require intervention or have success implications. 1.2.2. Surface Water Hydrology Monitoring of stream surface water stages should indicate recurrence of bankfull flow on average every 1 to 2 years. At a minimum, throughout the monitoring period, the surface water stage should achieve bankfull or greater elevations at least twice. The bankfull events must occur during separate monitoring years. 1.2.3. Groundwater Hydrology The USACE defines minimum hydrology for jurisdictional wetlands to be saturation within 12 inches of the surface for at least 5% of the growing season if soils and vegetation meet jurisdictional criteria. Given that hydric soils are present throughout the restoration area but that wetland vegetation will be newly established, it is reasonable to set the minimum hydrology threshold slightly above the jurisdictional minimum threshold. As such, the minimum performance standard is set to provide saturated soils within 12 inches of the surface for at least eight percent (8%) of the growing season under average climatic conditions. The reference wetland site used up through 2017 was the NCDMS Cat Creek Stream and Wetland Restoration Site — NCDMS Project # 71 — located east of Franklin in Macon County, NC. In January 2018, RES made a site visit to Cat Creek to replace the wetland reference gauge, but it was determined that it was no longer a representative reference gauge due to its location in a beaver pond. Because of the continued success of the wetland gauges on the Cochran Branch Site (including those gauges outside of the wetland crediting area), RES deemed it unnecessary to find a new location for the reference gauge. The growing season for the site was based on the Natural Resource Conservation Service (MRCS) WETS dataset for Macon County (http://agacis.rcc- acis.org/37113/wets). The Macon County dataset is based on a site with elevations roughly the same as the project site. According to NRCS, the growing season for Macon County is defined to be the period with a 50% probability that the daily minimum temperature is higher than 28°F. At the project site, this period extends from April 16th to October 19th for a total of 187 days. Based on this, wetland hydrology success will be achieved if the water table is within 12 inches of the soil surface for one or more periods of at least 15 consecutive days during the growing season. Resource Environmental Solutions, LLC 4 Cochran Branch Stream and Wetland Restoration Site Year 5 Monitoring Report • Macon County, North Carolina • January 2020 1.2.4. Vegetation Riparian vegetation monitoring shall be conducted for a minimum of seven years to ensure that success criteria are met per USACE guidelines. Accordingly, success criteria will consist of a minimum survival of 260 planted stems per acre by the end of the Year 5 monitoring period and a minimum of 210 planted stems per acre at the end of Year 7. If monitoring indicates either that the specified survival rate is not being met or the development of detrimental conditions (i.e., invasive species, diseased vegetation), appropriate corrective actions will be developed and implemented. Additionally, planted vegetation must average 8 feet in height in each plot at year 7 (as defined in the USACE 2003). If this performance standard is met by year 5 and stem density is trending toward success (i.e., no less than 260 five-year old stems/acre) monitoring of vegetation on the site may be terminated provided written approval is given by the USACE in consultation with the North Carolina Interagency Review Team (NCIRT). 1.3. Project Setting and Background The Cochran Branch Mitigation Project (The Site) is located approximately 6 miles northwest of Franklin, North Carolina at latitude 35012'52" N and longitude 83029'20" W. The Site encompasses approximately 10 acres of agricultural land and consists of two streams, Cochran Branch and Parrish Branch, along with 4.35 acres of wetlands on the Cochran Branch floodplain. The Site lies within the Little Tennessee River Watershed N.C. Division of Water Resources (DWR) sub -basin 04-04-01 and local HUC 06010202040020. The project is located within the NCDMS Iotla Creek targeted local watershed (TLW) and within the Franklin to Fontana local watershed plan (LWP). Cochran Branch drains to Burningtown Creek approximately 0.5 miles downstream of the project. Burningtown Creek is classified as B;Tr by NCDEQ. Following 2016 monitoring the NCIRT requested a review of the differential between the Approved Mitigation Plan and Baseline Monitoring Report. The table below details the discrepancies by reach. The cause of increased baseline SMUs is survey methodology (thalweg vs. centerline) as well as construction field adjustments. The Mitigation Plan lengths were based on centerline. Wetland credits are unchanged from Mitigation Plan to Baseline Monitoring Report. Proposed Length Mitigation Reach Mitigation Type* �� Proposed SMUs Baseline SMUs Ratio Cochran Branch P1 Restoration 1,387 1:1 1,387 1,418 Parrish Branch P1 Restoration 396 1:1 396 402 Total 1,783 1,783 1,820 *P 1=Priority 1 **The contracted amount of credits for this Site was 1,756 SMUs 1.4. Project Performance Monitoring Year 5 (MY5) data was completed in October 2019. Monitoring activities included visual assessment of all reaches and the surrounding easement, collection of images at eight permanent photo stations, and inventory of eight permanent vegetation monitoring plots. Monitoring activities also included stream monitoring consisting of nine cross -sections, five pebble counts, and three bank pin arrays. Stream monitoring was not performed in MY2; therefore, stream monitoring was completed in MY4 as a replacement for the lack of data collection. Per the Approved Mitigation Plan, stream monitoring will not be performed in MY6. Summary information/data related to the occurrence of items such as beaver or encroachment and statistics related to performance of various project and monitoring elements can be found in the tables Resource Environmental Solutions, LLC Cochran Branch Stream and Wetland Restoration Site Year 5 Monitoring Report • Macon County, North Carolina • January 2020 and figures in the report appendices. Narrative background and supporting information formerly found in these reports can be found in the Baseline Monitoring Report (formerly Mitigation Plan) and in the Mitigation Plan (formerly Restoration Plan) documents available on the NCDMS website (https:Hdeq.nc.gov/about/divisions/mitigation-services/dms-projects). All raw data supporting the tables and figures in the appendices is available from DMS upon request. 1.4.L Vegetation Visual assessment of vegetation outside of the monitoring plots (Appendix B; Table 6) indicates that the herbaceous vegetation is becoming well established throughout the project. Treatments of Chinese privet (Ligustmin sinense) and multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora) have been effective along the boundary of the easement. A few multiflora rose patches are present throughout the easement so follow-up treatments will continue as needed in future monitoring years. Monitoring of the eight permanent vegetation plots was completed in October 2019. Summary tables and photographs associated with MY5 monitoring are located in Appendix C. MY5 monitoring data indicates that all plots met interim success criteria of 260 planted stems per acre. Planted stem densities among plots ranged from 283 to 688 planted stems per acre with an annual mean of 435 planted stems per acre across all plots. A total of 11 species were documented within the plots. When volunteer stems are included, the mean annual total stems per acre rose to 460. The average tree height observed was 4.5 feet. 1.4.2. Stream Geomorphology Visual assessment of the stream channel was performed to document signs of instability, such as eroding banks, structural instability, or excessive sedimentation. In June 2019, RES had a site visit with IRT and DMS to discuss the sedimentation and lack of channel defining features on Parrish Branch. During the visit, most of the channel had concentrated flow in a single channel but the section near cross sections 7 and 8 was more like a braided system. The IRT decided it was necessary to revisit the site in November/December to get a more representative view of the reach. A full summary of the site visit is included in Appendix F. In April 2019, RES treated the vegetation in Parrish Branch with aquatic safe herbicide. The goal was to remove the wetland vegetation that was growing in the channel and causing aggradation. During the October field work, it was apparent that the herbicidal treatment of the vegetation in Parrish Branch was effective and will be performed again in 2020. Additionally, RES planted 80 three -gallon container trees along both sides of the channel to start shading out in -channel vegetation. During October field work it appeared that the planting had a high survival rate. RES plans to also heavily livestake the banks of the reach in early 2020 to further discourage channel vegetation growth. Except for Parrish Branch, no indication of instability was observed during visual assessment and all structures are functioning as designed (Appendix A; Figure 2 and Appendix B; Table 5). Geomorphic data for MY5 was collected in October 2019. Summary tables and cross-section plots related to stream morphology are located in Appendix D. For the Cochran Branch reach, cross - sectional overlays showed minimal dimensional change between MY4 and MY5 data collection efforts. As for the Parrish Branch section that includes cross -sections 7, 8, and 9, aggradation is evident in MY5 when compared to MY4, but defined channels are still present on the overlay plots (Appendix B; Table lla). The explanation for this aggradation was discussed above. In MY5, all measurements are based on fixed baseline cross sectional area; therefore, bankfull elevation was adjusted for each cross-section to achieve a cross -sectional area equivalent to the reported baseline cross -sectional area. None of the riffle cross sections exceeded a 1.2 BHR. Resource Environmental Solutions, LLC Cochran Branch Stream and Wetland Restoration Site Year 5 Monitoring Report • Macon County, North Carolina • January 2020 Substrate monitoring was performed during MY5. Pebble count d50 was medium gravel for Cochran Branch, and sand for Parrish Branch. The channel substrate will be monitored again in MY7 to document shifts in particle size distributions. The bank pin arrays indicate that no erosion is taking place in the meanders during MY5 (Appendix D; Table 12). 1.4.3. Groundwater and Stream Hydrology During MY5, eight of the eight groundwater monitoring wells met the 8 percent hydroperiod success criteria (Appendix E; Table 16). All eight of the transducers in the groundwater monitoring wells were replaced before the start of the growing season in 2019. Hydroperiods among the monitoring wells ranged from 56 to 100 percent of the growing season, and total number of consecutive days within 12 inches of the soil surface was 105 to 187. No bankfull events were observed in MY5. Both crest gauges were damaged by fire ants and will be replaced in MY6. Parrish Branch has had at least four bankfull events (at least one in MY4 and three in MY3) while Cochran Branch has had at least four bankfull events prior to MY5. 2.0 METHODS This report presents the results of the Monitoring Year 5 (MY5) visual, hydrologic, morphological, and vegetation data. Permanent photo station photos were collected in October 2019. Additional photos of vegetation or stream problem areas were taken as needed. Geomorphic measurements were taken during low flow conditions using a Topcon GTS-312 Total Station. Three-dimensional coordinates associated with cross-section data was collected in the field and geo-referenced (NAD83 State Plane feet FIPS 3200). Morphological data was collected at 9 cross - sections. Survey data was imported into CAD, ArcGIS®, and Microsoft Excel® for data processing and analysis. Channel substrate was characterized using a Wolman Pebble Count as outlined in Harrelson et al. (1994) and processed using Microsoft Excel. Vegetation success is being monitored at eight permanent monitoring plots. Vegetation monitoring follows the CVS-EEP Level 2 Protocol for Recording Vegetation, version 4.2 (Lee et al. 2008) and includes analysis of species composition and density of planted species. Data is processed using the CVS data entry tool. In the field, the four corners of each plot were permanently marked with rebar and photos of each plot taken from the origin each monitoring year. Precipitation data was collected using an Onset HOBO Data Logging Rain Gauge. Groundwater for hydrologic success of restored wetlands was monitored using eight HOBO U20 Water Level Loggers. An additional logger was installed on site, above ground, for use as a barometric reference. Data loggers collected depth to groundwater daily and all data were processed using HOBOware and analyzed using Microsoft Excel. Bankfull events were documented with two crest gauges, one each being located on Cochran Branch and Parrish Branch. During quarterly visits to the site, the height of the corkline was recorded.

Accessing the site may require traversing areas near or along the easement boundary and therefore j access by the general public is not permitted. Access by authorized personnel of state and federal agencies or their designees/ contractors involved in the development, oversight and stewardship j of the restoration site is permitted within the terms and timeframes of their defined roles. Any intended site visitation or activity by 23 any person outside of these previously sanctioned roles and activities requires prior coordination with DMS.

The main topic of discussion was the sedimentation and lack of channel defining features on Parrish Branch observed in monitoring reports by RES and DMS. During the site visit, the majority of Parrish Branch had substantial flow contained in a single channel. One section located near cross sections seven and eight, however, had characteristics more like a braided system with water flowing in multiple locations. David Brown (USACE) commented that channelized stream flow was typical of this type of channel during the winter months and dormant season. He suggested the IRT revisit the site in November/December 2020 to get a more representative view of the reach. Also, it was noted during the visit that there was gravel/cobble bed substrate in the channel, but it was buried by a few inches of fine silt/sand. In April 2019, RES treated the channel vegetation with an aquatic safe herbicide. The IRT was ok with this treatment but was adamant that they did not want to see any digging or raking in the channel. Additionally, Erin Davis (NCDWR) noted multiflora rose scattered in the easement and RES agreed to continue treating the invasive species throughout the site for the remainder of the monitoring period. The IRT generally agreed that the on -site wetlands and project streams (aside from Parrish Branch) were meeting the established success criteria. They agreed to release MY4 project credits per the credit release schedule established in the approved mitigation plan. The IRT requested that project stream credits released on the site not exceed the stream credits associated with Parrish Branch (396 SMUs). There will be a total of 445.75 unreleased stream credits on the site after the IRT MY4 (2018) credit release approval.
