This project will reduce sediment from streambank erosion that has been measured at 400-600 tons per year for this reach and improve aquatic habitat by reestablishing an appropriate pool riffle sequence. The project will consist of establishing a bankfull channel, modifying the streambed to establish appropriate depth and spacing for pools and riffles, using in stream structures, erosion control fabric and bioengineering to stabilize the channel and streambanks and planting trees and shrubs to reestablish a riparian buffer. This project has been designed by NRCS as part of a larger project to address water quality issues in the Mitchell River watershed. If you need additional information or have questions about the proposed project please contact please give me a call.

Fill shall not be placed which is so dry that a sample will not remain formed after squeezing in the hand. The maximum thickness of a layer before compaction for hand placed and compacted material shall be 4 inches and*for machine placed and compacted material shall be 9 inches. Each layer of earthfill shall be compacted to a density equivalent to that of the surrounding in-place materials. Compaction shall be accomplished by means of manually directed power tampers, walk-behind or self-propelled rollers, or by tamping with the bucket of a hydraulic excavator with a minimum operating weight of 42,000 lbs. and a minimum bucket force of 25,000 lbs. unless otherwise approved by the Engineer. CONTOUR BRUSHLAYERING This item shall consist of all work, including harvesting and transporting materials, necessary to install contour brushlayering as shown on the drawings or described below for the purpose of restoring the streambank with a bioengineering installation. Contour brushlayering consists of embedding cut live branches of tree or shrub species on successive horizontal contours or benches (in lifts) on the face of the streambank. The foundation for the contour brushlayering shall be stripped to remove any unsuitable materials or shall be excavated as specified. The foundation surface shall sloped toward the bank on a 5 to loo grade. The foundation shall be inspected and approved by the Engineer prior to the installation of the contour brushlayering. A minimum twelve(12) inch layer of compacted backfill shall be placed above the.fascine prior to installation of the first brushlayer. The backfill shall be placed as specified above in Earthfill. Brush layer cuttings shall be placed on the foundation or. backfill layer with the butt ends stuck into the undisturbed bank material. The butt ends should be angled slightly down. The branches should be spaced no more than 8 to 12 inches apart. The branches should be layered to a thickness of 3 tc 6 inches. The branch placements should result in some crisscrossing of the stems. NRCS-NC Page 3 of 6 8/98 Bioengineering Installation AGJessup ;' A thin layer.of earthfill shall be placed over the brush layer and firmly hand-tamped to fill the voids between the branch stems. Water packing of the soil in the voids may used with the approval of the Engineer. After filling the voids in the brush layer, a layer of compacted earthfill shall be placed in accordance with the above requirements for Earthfill. Earthfill shall be obtained as specified above in Excavation and Earthfill. Successive.alternate layers of brush and compacted earthfill shall be placed as shown on the drawing or directed by the Engineer. The installation should be completed with a layer of compacted earthfill and transplanted willows with attached root mat. FASCINES This item shall consist of all work, including harvesting and transporting materials, necessary to construct and install fascines as shown on the drawings or described below for the purpose of restoring the streambank with a bioengineering installation. Fascines are made by packing live material cuttings into continuous thick round bundles and fastening them with bailing twine or wire. Fascines are typically made from willow cuttings. Cut materials should be long, straight, and flexible. The minimum length of materials is 3 feet, but 6 or 7 feet is preferred. The completed fascine should be a minimum of one (1) foot longer than the longest whip (branch) in the bundle. Whip butt ends should be randomly alternated. Bundles should be tied every 10 to 15 inches with bailing twine. Every third tie should also be secured with 12 gauge galvanized wire. The compressed and tied bundle shall average eight (8) inches in diameter. The completed fascine should be placed in a freshly prepared trench. The trench shall be ten (10) inches wide and six (6) inches deep. Fascines should be keep cool and moist until placed in the trench. Fascines shall be placed in the trench with ends overlapping to provide a uniform thickness along the length of the installation. Dead stout stakes 2 ;i? feet long shall be driven through the bundle to secure the fascine in place. The stakes shall be placed every three (3) feet. The overlapping ends shall be staked between the last ties. The dead stout stakes shall be fabricated by sawing a 2"x4" lumber (Southern yellow pine or equivalent) on the diagonal to produce two dead stout stakes. The fascine and staking shall be inspected and approved by the Engineer prior to placement of fill over the installation. NRCS-NC Bioengineering InsWlarion Page 4 of 6 8/98 AGJ-p f Fascines shall be covered with soil and hand tamped to fill the voids in the bundle. The process of covering the fascine with soil should leave 10 to 20 percent of the top and/or front of the fas.cine exposed and visible. Additional dead stout stakes shall be placed below the fasciae for added protection during high storm flows. The stakes shall be placed every 5 feet. BRUSHMATTRESS This item shall consist of all work, including harvesting and transporting materials, necessary to install a brushmattress as shown on the drawings or described below for the purpose of protecting the streambank with a bioengineering installation. A brushmattress shall consist of placing a thick mat of cut live branches of tree or shrub species on the face of the streambank. The mat shall be staked and wired to hold the branches in place, then the mat shall be partially covered with soil. Dead stout stakes as described in the section on Fascines, shall be used to anchor the brushmattress. Tie wire shall be single strand, galvanized 12-gauge wire, or larger. A fascine shall be installed at the base of the brushmattress to anchor the base of the branches in place. The fascine shall be placed in accordance with the above requirements for Fascines. A brushmattress shall be constructed when the plant species are dormant. An 8- to 12-inch trench shall be dug just at or below the water line and flush with the plane of the slope. The brush shall be placed butt down in the trench with stems laid perpendicular to the trench and against the bank. The slope to be treated shall be covered from the top to the bottom of the slope with the brush layer. Enough brush shall be placed to ensure that the layer will be 4- to 6-inches thick when compressed. When species with good rooting ability are in short supply, other species can be substituted for up to 50 percent of the materials. A single row of fascines shall be placed in the dug trench to form the base of the brushmattress and anchor the butt ends of the brush. Stout dead stakes shall be driven into the brushmattress every 2 to 4 feet on center, beginning a foot beyond each horizontal side of the mattress. The stakes shall be placed 1 foot inside the mattress at the top and bottom. The stakes shall be driven to within 6 or 8 inches of the soil surface before tying down the mattress. The brushmattress shall be tied down with wire in horizontal runs and then diagonal runs between each horizontal row of stakes. The wire shall be wrapped around the stakes in such a manner that if the wire between NRCS-NC Page 5 of 6 8/98 Bioengineering bL4MIauon AGJessap r y 7 two stakes breaks; the integrity of the remaining wiring will remain intact. After tying, the stakes shall be driven into the soil to compress the brushmattress and to place tension on the wire. The staking and wiring shall be inspected and approved by the Engineer prior to final driving of the stakes and the placement of fill over the installation. After the brush is placed, staked, tied and compressed, soil shall be placed to cover the mattress. The soil shall be worked into voids in the mattress to aid in the rooting process. If the soil is dry, water should be used to help pack the soil in the brushmattress. LIVE STAKES This item shall consist of harvesting and planting live stakes cut from species that readily root such as willow species. The stakes shall be 1 to 3 inches in diameter and 18 to 36 inches in length. Live stakes must be harvested and installed while dormant. The tops of the stakes shall be cut flat and the base sharpened. The'stakes shall be driven into the ground to a minimum depth of 3 inches above the ground (or to refusal) with a wooden or rubber mallet. The live stakes shall be planted on 2 x 2 feet spacing with a minimum of three staggered rows when placed at the toe of the streambank. The stakes should be placed slightly above the water line. All live stakes placed above the toe area may be placed on 2 x 4 feet spacing. When stakes are planted in a near vertical bank, the stakes should be angled into the bank rather than planted straight into the bank. TREE/SHRUB PLANTING (INCLUDING TRANSPLANTS) Tree and shrub seedlings shall be planted on the shaped streambank and in the riparian zone. Water-tolerant species shall be planted on the streambank. Species suitable for the soil and site conditions shall be planted in the riparian zone. Species shall be as specified on the drawings unless otherwise approved by the Engineer.

The grade, top and bottom, of the structure gradually tapers down from the channel bank toward the center of the stream. For the structure to work properly, the rock must be placed as shown on the drawings unless directed otherwise by the Engineer. NRCS-NC Page 1 of 1 2/99 Rock Structures AGJessup ? Y v ' CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION ROOT WAD SYSTEM The work shall consist of furnishing all labor, materials and equipment for the installation of a root wad system. The work shall include transporting and installing the footer logs, rootwads, boulders, and excavation/earthfill needed to stabilize the eroding streambank and enhance fish habitat. All work shall be done in accordance with the plans and specifications. Construction operations shall be carried out in a manner and sequence to minimize the impacts of erosion and sedimentation, air and water pollution. Materials The root wad and bole (tree trunk) may be harvested from live trees or trees that have been previously harvested. The trees shall be species that are resistant to rotting. The root wad should have a good root system attached to a minimum 10- foot long bole with a minimum diameter breast height (DBH) of 10 inches. The length and diameter of the bole shall be as indicated on the drawings. Large trees to be harvested for use as footer log and root Vwad revetments shall be clearly marked prior to the start of construction. Footer logs shall also have a minimum DBH of 10 inches and shall be a minimum of 10 feet in length. The boulders or rocks shall be dense, sound and free from cracks, seams, and other defects. The rocks shall have a specific gravity of not less than 2.5. The anchor rocks shall weigh between 1 and 3 tons per rock. SITE PREPARATION The streambank protection shall begin at a stable location and end at a stable location. The Engineer shall mark the beginning and ending points for each work area in the field. Removal of any trees and brush shall be only to the extent necessary to do the work. Obstruction to flow in the channel shall be removed only as necessary to prevent stream flow from being directed toward unstable streambanks. Any suitable materials removed as part of the site preparation may be used in the project installation with the approval of the Engineer; otherwise, the materials are to be stockpiled in an area designated by the landowner that is outside the floodprone area. All site preparation shall be completed in a manner to avoid damage to remaining trees and vegetation. Existing sod shall be stripped from work areas and stockpiled for later use on disturbed areas. The slopes shall be rough-graded to a positive, relatively uniform slope. The slope shall be no steeper than a 1 '/ :1 slope except where necessary to tie in with the existing undisturbed slopes. NRCS-NC Page 1 of 2 11/00 Root Wad System AGJessup e INSTALLATION OF ROOT WAD SYSTEM A footer log shall be installed at the toe of the eroding bank prior to the placement of each root wad. The footer log shall be installed by excavating a trench or driving the log into the toe of the bank, at a slight angle with the shoreline. The footer log shall be placed to the anticipated scour depth. The bole (tree trunk) of the root wad may be driven into place or installed in a dug trench. When trenched, the trench shall be dug at the angle necessary for the root wad to be installed perpendicular to the flow of the stream. The trench shall be excavated wide enough to install the bole of the root wad and the same length as the bole. The material removed during the excavation process shall be stockpiled and used for backf Il. The root wad shall be installed with the bole in the trench so that the tree's primary brace roots are flush with the toe of the streambank. The roots in the root ball will be placed to extend into the stream. Along the length of the eroded bank, the root wads with boles shall be placed to protect the streambank and add fish habitat between each installed root wad. Each bole will be placed in a separate trench. One or more large boulders shall be installed on top of the bole near the intersection with the root wad to anchor the root wad in place. Each trench will be backfiiled with the material that was stockpiled from the excavation process. If additional earthfill is needed, the material shall be obtained from the designated on-site borrow area. Backfill material is to contain sufficient moisture to allow adequate compaction when tamped with the bucket of the ' hydraulic excavator. GRADING, SEEDING AND PLANTING After the installation of the revetment, the channel bank will be sloped from the top of the native material revetment to the top of the bank on a positive slope. All disturbed areas will be smoothed to provide positive drainage. The areas shall be stabilized by seeding, transplanting shrubs and planting seedlings in accordance with Construction Specification - Streamside Seeding. NRCS-NC Page 2 of 2 11/00 Root Wad System AGJessup CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION STREAMSIDE SEEDING The work shall consist of preparing the area, furnishing and placing seed, sprigs, mulch, fertilizer, inoculate, soil amendments and anchoring mulch in the designated areas as specified; streambanks, access areas and other areas disturbed by construction activities. Seedbed Preparation On sites where equipment can be operated safely the seedbed shall be adequately loosened and smoothed. Disking or cultipacking or both may be necessary. On sites where equipment cannot operate safely, the seedbed shall be prepared by hand scarifying to provide a roughened surface so that seed will stay in place. If seeding is done immediately following construction, seedbed preparation may not be required except on compacted, polished or freshly cut areas. Fertilizing Evenly distribute lime and fertilizer over the area to be seeded. Uniformly mix lime and fertilizer into the top 3 inches of the soil. Where surface materials are predominately gravel and/or cobble, no incorporation is required. Apply lime and fertilizer according to soil test results or at the following rates. Per 1000 sq. $. Lime 10-10-10 Fertilizer Seeding 50-100 lbs. 9-12 lbs. Per Acre 1-2 tons 400-500 lbs. Temporarv Seeding - Use where needed for erosion and pollution control, when permanent vegetation , cannot be established due to planting season and where temporary ground cover is needed to allow native or woody vegetation to become established. Fall, Winter. Spring Seeding Per 1000 N. ft. Per Acre Oats 21bs. 3 bu. Rye 31bs. 2-3 bu. Summer Seeding Sudangrass l lb. 35-45 lbs. Browntop Millet I lb. 30-401bs. Permanent Seeding - Use in combination with woody plantings on the upslope side of the riparian planting. Spring planting time is ideal for native perennial warm season grasses. These grasses should be used when enhancing wildlife habitat is a goal of the riparian planting. Spring planted seed should be treated with a cold wet chill process to maximize germination. Fall plantings should be planted with a lightly sowed cool season annual to hold the soil and the wet chill process is not required. Fertilizer may be omitted when establishing native grasses. Fall, Spring Seeding Tall Fescue -Native warm season grasses- Big, Little or Broomsedge Bluestein Eastern Gamma Grass or Switchgrass Per 1000 N. fl, Per Acre 1 lb. 501bs. .2 lbs.
