EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The NCDENR Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) provides off -site compensatory wetland and
stream mitigation to private sector, state government agencies, municipalities, schools, military bases and
other applicants through its In Lieu Fee Programs. EEP is proposing the Moores Fork Stream
Restoration Project (project) to fulfill stream mitigation requirements accepted by this program for the
Upper Yadkin River Basin (CU 03040101). Through this project, EEP proposes to restore, enhance and
preserve approximately 19,915 linear feet (LF) of Moores Fork and fifteen previously unnamed tributaries
(UTs), provide livestock fencing and alternative water sources to keep livestock out of the streams,
remove invasive plant species across the project, and establish native riparian buffers. Based on
preliminary estimates from the design proposed in this Mitigation Plan, the Moores Fork Stream
Restoration Project will net 11,659 stream mitigation credits through a combination of restoration,
enhancement I and 11, and preservation.
This Mitigation Plan describes specific project goals and objectives as they relate to EEP's programmatic
goals (including watershed planning), provides baseline data on the existing conditions of Moores Fork
and its UTs at the project site, and describes the methodologies that were used develop the preliminary
design. The Mitigation Plan also outlines the performance standards and monitoring protocol that will be
used to evaluate the project's success, and it details long term management strategies for protecting and
maintaining the restoration site in perpetuity.
This Mitigation Plan has been written in conformance with the requirements of the following:
• Federal rule for compensatory mitigation project sites as described in the Federal
Register Title 33 Navigation and Navigable Waters Volume 3 Chapter 2 Section § 332.8
paragraphs (c)(2) through (c)(14).
• EEP In -Lieu Fee Instrument signed and dated July 28, 2010
These documents govern EEP operations and procedures for the delivery of compensatory mitigation.

Moores Fork Stream Restoration Project - Draft Final Mitigation Plan July 2012
1.0 RESTORATION PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
EEP develops River Basin Restoration Priorities (RBRP) to guide its restoration activities within each of
the state's 54 cataloging units. RBRPs delineate specific watersheds that exhibit both the need and
opportunity for wetland, stream and riparian buffer restoration. These watersheds are called Targeted
Local Watersheds (TLWs) and receive priority for EEP planning and restoration project funds.
The 2009 Upper Yadkin RBRP ( www .nceep.net/services /restplans /Upper Yadkin RBRP 2009.pdD
identified the Stewarts Creek 14 -digit HUC 03040101110010 as a TLW. Agriculture is the primary land
use in the watershed (36% agriculture land cover and only 3% impervious cover) and the RBRP identified
degraded riparian buffers as the major stressor to water quality. There are 12 permitted animal
operations and 37% of the Stewarts Creek watershed has non - forested riparian buffers. In addition to
being located within an EEP TLW, the Moores Fork drainage was identified as a priority subwatershed for
stream restoration and agricultural BMPs during the initial Upper Yadkin - Ararat River local watershed
planning (LWP) initiative conducted by EEP [EcoEngineering, 2008].
The site assessment phase of the project identified other stressors as well, including elevated water
temperatures, excessive nutrient inputs, channel incision, bank erosion and sediment deposition. The
Moores Fork Stream Restoration Project was identified as an opportunity to improve water quality and
aquatic and terrestrial habitats within the TLW.
The project goals address stressors identified in the TLW and include the following:
• Improve water quality in Moores Fork and the UTs through reductions in sediment and nutrient
inputs from local stressors /sources;
• Create conditions for dynamic equilibrium of water and sediment movement between the supply
reaches and project reaches;
• Promote floodwater attenuation and secondary functions associated with more frequent and
extensive floodwater contact times;
• Improve in- stream habitat by increasing the diversity of bedform features;
• Enhance and protect native riparian vegetation communities; and
• Reduce fecal, nutrient, and sediment loads to project streams by promoting and implementing
livestock best management practices.
The project goals will be addressed through the following project objectives:
• Restoration of the dimension, pattern, profile of approximately 1,828 LF of Moores Fork and 243
LF of one UT;
• Restoration of the dimension and profile (Enhancement 1) of the channel for approximately 2,832
LF of Moores Fork and 3,710 LF of three UTs;
• Limited channel work coupled with livestock exclusion, gully stabilization, invasive species control
and buffer planting (Enhancement 11) on approximately 761 LF of Moores Fork and 5,998 LF
along five UTs;
• Livestock exclusion fencing and other best management practice installations;
• Invasive plant species control measures across the entire project wherever necessary; and
• Preservation of approximately 4,543 LF relatively un- impacted forested streams in permanent
conservation easement.

2.0 SITE SELECTION
2.1 Directions to Site
The Moores Fork project site is located northwest of Mount Airy in Surry County, North Carolina. To
access the site from Asheville, take 1 -40 East towards Statesville to Exit 152B. Merge on 1 -77 North
toward Elkin and travel approximately 49 miles. Take Exit 100 (North Carolina 89) toward Mt. Airy and
Galax. Turn right onto North Carolina 89 (West Pine Street) and travel approximately 2 miles. Turn left
onto Pine Ridge Road and travel approximately 0.2 mile and turn right onto Horton Road. The project site
is located on both sides of Horton Road. A site vicinity map (Figure 1) and USGS topographic map
(Figure 2) are attached for review. Latitude and longitude for the site are 36.506671 N and 80.704115 W,
respectively.
2.2 Historical Conditions and Future Land Use Trends
Reference is made in the following discussions to project reaches and design stationing as shown on the
attached preliminary plans (Appendix D). The project site falls within five parcels encompassing 461
acres. One of the parcels (11.7 acres) is owned by William L. Horton, Jr. and the other four parcels are
owned by Maple Ridge Farm. Maple Ridge Farm is an operating dairy and a portion of the Horton parcel
is used as pasture for the dairy cows. An 18 -acre area comprised of two outparcels is located near the
center of the site. Dairy operations are focused at a cluster of barns, silage pits and small buildings in a
4 -acre area near the farm entrance along Horton Road. A few other barns and sheds are located
elsewhere on the property.
The majority of the stream length targeted for channel modifications lacks a robust vegetative buffer.
Enhancement and preservation are proposed for stream reaches in areas of the site that do contain
functional buffers, including much of the Barn Tributary drainage, UTs 6 and 7, portions of the Silage
Tributary drainage, and the right floodplain over the downstream half of Moores Fork. Vegetation in the
Barn Tributary drainage includes mature trees (greater than 18 inches dbh) and dense mountain laurel.
On the downstream Moores Fork floodplain, several trees in the 12 to 18 inches dbh size range are
present.
Based on a review of aerial photograph of the project site, land use and the extent of cleared land have
not changed significantly since at least 1982 (Figure 5). Between 1948 (Figure 6) and 1982, upland
areas in the Corn, Silage and Barn tributary drainages were cleared of trees and converted to pasture or
row crop fields. The permanent stream crossings on the project site include a clear -span bridge over
Moores Fork near the mid -point of the project reach and two culverts at the upstream and downstream
ends of the Corn Tributary. While it is difficult to be certain, the aerial photographs indicate the crossing
locations have remained consistent since at least 1982. Judging by the deck materials, the bridge over
Moores Fork appears to have been improved or replaced within the past 10 years. The landowners
indicated that they have reinforced the stream banks upstream of the abutments on multiple occasions
over the past several years.
In October 2006, Surry County issued Land Use Plan 2015 which describes growth, land use changes
and future development policies through 2015. The Moores Fork site is located at the divide between a
rural land use area and a rural growth area. A rural growth area is defined as being appropriate for
medium density residential development. Land to the west of the dividing line, leading to upland areas of
the Moores Fork watershed, is designated as rural land, with a best use of agriculture, low density
residential, forestry and other similar practices. Technical Memorandum Task 2, Upper Yadkin Basin
Local Watershed Plan identified the Moores Fork sub - watershed as a high priority for stream restoration,
presumably because of its low population density, agricultural land uses and potential for improvement.
Current and projected future land use for this watershed supports an ecosystem investment at this site.

2.3 Site Modifications, Stressors and Ecological Services
Throughout the project area site modifications have diminished the ecological services provided by
riparian buffers and adjacent floodplains. Dairy and farming operations over the past several decades
have deforested riparian buffers and allowed direct livestock access to stream, leading to elevated
temperatures and nutrients which are the primary stressors identified for this sub - watershed with the TLW
(EcoEngineering, 2008).
Moores Fork has also been impacted by channel straightening and dredging throughout much of the
project reach, and levee construction in the upstream 1,800 LF. The levee is located on the left bank, is
generally 1 to 2 feet high and has the effect of limiting floodplain access. Widespread bank erosion and
mid - channel sediment deposition are visible throughout Moores Fork. With the exception of the upstream
1,700 LF of Moores Fork, cattle currently have direct access to the project streams. The majority of the
cattle impacts are located along Moores Fork between stations 17 +50 and 36 +00, over the downstream
half of the Silage Tributary and along both of the Cow Tributaries.
Runoff from barns, fields and silage pits near the headwaters of the Silage Tributary, the Cow Tributaries
and UT1 has contributed to deep gullies forming. Bank heights of 6 feet or more are common in the
upstream 2,000 LF of the Silage Tributary and the upstream 200 LF of UT1, above the intermittent break;
bank heights on the Cow Tributaries are generally less than 3 feet. The silage pits will be relocated away
from surface waters and measures to manage runoff quantity and quality from upland areas will be
incorporated into a farm management plan that will be implemented in conjunction with the stream
enhancement efforts.
The Corn Tributary buffers have been impacted by past logging, by recent clearing for an overhead
electric line, and by farm road construction, but impacts are generally limited to upland areas well away
from the channel. The downstream 100 LF reach of the Corn Tributary is incised and the right bank has
been cleared of woody vegetation. The Pond Tributary is impacted by the dam upstream of the project
reach, by a culvert on a farm road downstream of the dam, and by cattle feeding area near its confluence
with Moores Fork. The primary impacts on the Barn Tributary are associated with a small dam that
previously impounded the upstream 150 LF; the dam was breached several years ago, but woody buffer
vegetation has yet to establish in the former impoundment and the short reach downstream. Some
recent logging has impacted the buffer on the right side of the Barn Tributary, and logging debris is
present in the channel in a few locations. The most significant impacts to UT1 are due to runoff from an
upland corn field, which has formed two deep gullies above the headwaters and contributed excess fine
sediment to the downstream reach.
Non - native plant species, particularly privet, multiflora rose and honeysuckle, are present in wooded
areas of the site. The most severely impacted areas are located in the Silage Tributary drainage. The
Corn Tributary drainage, and to a lesser extent the Barn Tributary drainage, are also impacted.

2.4 Evolutionary Trends
Appendix C includes a two -page inventory map showing areas of significant bank erosion, bar formation,
gully formation and debris jams. Moores Fork appears to have been straightened and shifted to the edge
of its valley between stations 19 +00 and 38 +00. There is also evidence of possible channelization or
lateral migration between stations 56 +00 and 62 +00. This assessment is supported by observations of
the floodplain topography, which shows low points in the floodplain and wetland areas indicative of relict
channel sections offset 100 feet or more from the current channel. Additional supporting data were
gathered from five of six hand auger borings in the floodplain that encountered gravel indicative of the
one -time creek bed at depths of 3.7 to 4.7 feet below existing grade. Based on a review of aerial
photographs, this straightening and /or lateral migration was completed to its current conditions prior to
1948. The shortened stream length and resulting steepening of the channel profile likely set an incision
process in motion. Bedrock is visible throughout much of Moores Fork and it appears that the bedrock
has limited the depth and extent of channel incision. Observations of a gravel layer in the bank near the
downstream end of the project indicate the channel has down -cut 1 to 2 feet.
The channel modifications, incision and subsequent widening have created bank stability and sediment
transport problems, particularly when combined with buffer vegetation removal and livestock trampling.
Moores Fork appears to be less than halfway on a trajectory from a C -type steam to an F -type stream, as
evidenced by the following (refer to project site photographs, section 2.5):
• Extensive, ongoing bank erosion;
• Leaning and fallen trees;
• Channel cross sectional areas up to nearly three times the estimated bankfull areas;
• Bank heights up to twice the bankfull depth; and
• Frequent, large mid - channel sediment bars.
The Soil Survey of Surry County indicates most of the rock in the area strikes northeast- southwest and
dips northwest. The dominant soils at the site are in the Fairview series, which are residual sandy clays,
the products of in -situ weathering of the parent bedrock. The residual soils are overlain by alluvial soils in
the Moores Fork floodplain.
Even the relatively modest incision observed throughout much of the project reach has confined large
flows to the channel, which in turn has led to bank erosion, widening and mid - channel sediment
deposition. While most obvious in Reach 2 through a pasture immediately upstream of the bridge, this
scenario is ongoing in the wooded reaches downstream of the bridge as well. Left unchecked, this
process of widening and mid - channel deposition will likely continue as leaning trees fall and expose
erodible soils. The evolutionary trend suggests that the stream will migrate laterally and form a new cross
section until the system eventually reaches equilibrium with its water and sediment supply.
Flow in the Pond Tributary is affected greatly by the upstream pond located about 200 feet upstream of
the project reach; there appears to be a moderate storage volume in the pond to mitigate flood flows to
the downstream reach. Downstream of the farm road, the Pond Tributary is badly trampled by cattle, and
while an evolutionary trend is difficult to define, this reach will not recover without intervention. The Corn
Tributary is generally stable despite being confined in a deep V- shaped valley and impacted by logging
debris. Bankfull bench construction and bank sloping are warranted in the short reach at the downstream
end to address vertical banks, but the majority of the reach should respond well to debris removal and
buffer restoration. The instability over the upstream reach of the Barn Tributary is attributed to the former
dam and impoundment. The dam breach is located at the upstream end of a highly incised reach that will
continue to erode laterally unless the unstable banks are addressed. At its downstream limit, the Barn
Tributary is highly sinuous and suffers from a lack of woody vegetation on the banks, but it is generally
stable.
The upstream 3,000 LF of the Silage Tributary and both Cow tributaries are actively incising through their
steep, V- shaped valleys, with numerous headcuts evident in the profiles. It appears that the incision was
set in motion by an increase in runoff from adjacent fields and pastures following initial clearing several
decades ago. Landowners indicated that an on -line pond was once present in the Silage Tributary
Moores Fork Stream Restoration Project - Draft Final Mitigation Plan July 2012
10
channel, but the precise location of the former pond is not known. Removal of the dam and rapid
drawdown of the impoundment may have also initiated some headcut erosion. Given the relatively small
size of the watersheds, it is likely that these streams were once shorter and the banks much lower than
they are now, with hydrology governed by groundwater rather than runoff. It appears that the changing
flow regime began the incision and degradation, and buffer deforestation and cattle trampling
exacerbated the problems. The upstream end of UT1 exhibits characteristics similar to the Cow
tributaries, but the degradation over its downstream reach is less severe.
With the exception of the downstream reach of the Silage Tributary, the streams in this drainage are
currently G type streams that are unlikely to recover absent intervention. Natural recovery could be
expected to hinge on the establishment of volunteer buffer vegetation, but the steam banks and upper
slopes appear to lack the geotechnical stability and nutrients necessary for this to happen in the
foreseeable future.
The downstream 850 LF of the Silage Tributary flows through a flatter and slightly wider valley; here the
evolutionary sequence (C to F) is similar to that observed in Moores Fork, with bank erosion and lateral
migration ongoing. As with Moores Fork, this lateral migration will likely continue without intervention.
The other project streams, UT's 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10, are suitable for preservation by virtue of stable
morphology and intact buffers. The reaches of UT4 and UT11 on the property are short and
hydrologically disconnected from the remainder of the mitigation areas, and are therefore not included in
the project.

5.0 DETERMINATION OF CREDITS
Mitigation credits presented in these tables are projections based on site design. Upon completion of site
construction, the project components and credits will be revised to be consistent with the as -built
conditions. The high end of the credit ratio spectrum for Enhancement Level I was assigned to Moores
Fork Reach 3 and Barn Tributary Reach 1, where extensive bank shaping, bankfull bench construction,
in- stream structure installation and buffer planting are proposed. Similarly, where gully repairs and
extensive farm conservation plan improvements are proposed upland of jurisdictional streams and no
credit is requested (Cow Tributaries and UT1), we have assigned the high end of the Enhancement Level
11 credit ratio spectrum. Descriptions of each reach with proposed treatments are presented Table 4a
below.

6.0 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 US
Department of the Army (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:

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.
6.1 Initial Allocation of Released Credits
The initial allocation of released credits, as specified in the mitigation plan, can be released by the EEP
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 EEP 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.
6.2 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 EEP 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
reports.

7.0 MITIGATION WORK PLAN
7.1 Target Streams
The Moores Fork site affords the opportunity to address the major stressors described in the RBRP for
the Stewarts Creek watershed. The project design will enhance (and protect where appropriate) the
ecological services threatened by these stressors. The proposed conservation easement boundaries will
encompass the six wetlands at the site, but no work is proposed and no wetland mitigation credit is being
sought. Table 6 below summarizes the links between each design objective proposed for this project and
the ecological service improvements that can be achieved on a reach -by -reach basis. Specific site
constraints and design measures for each reach, along with the target Rosgen stream types, are
presented in Table 7.

7.2 Target Plant Communities
The target plant community is a more robust and diverse version of the existing Felsic Mesic Forest plant
community identified in the upland and relatively undisturbed reaches of the UTs. In upland areas where
stream and floodplain grading are not proposed but where invasive exotic plants have encroached, buffer
restoration design will include the following:
• Eradication of invasive exotic species;
• Preservation of desirable existing species; and
• Supplemental planting with selected native trees and shrubs to encourage a more diverse
version of the target community.
Moores Fork Stream Restoration Project - Draft Final Mitigation Plan July 2012
25
Most of the areas proposed for stream and floodplain grading are currently pasture. The target plant
community for these areas will be the same as the upland areas, but species within this community will be
selected for their adaptation to streambank and floodplain conditions. Appendix C includes a table with
several candidate species for buffer planting.
7.3 Design Methodology and Data Analyses
The design methodology incorporated both form -based and analytical approaches, using a combination
of statistical relationships and analyses to arrive at a design discharge for each reach. Other primary
design criteria, such as cross section dimensions, pattern and profile, are all linked to the design
discharge and to each other. The following sections summarize each phase of the methodology;
supporting calculations and data are included in Appendix C.
7.3.1 Design Discharge
In order to estimate a range of design discharges for each reach where dimension and pattern and /or
profile modifications are proposed, we evaluated regional regression equations, analyzed field bankfull
indicators using hydraulic models, and considered sediment transport competence using critical
discharge for initiation of bed material mobility (where sediment data could be obtained). In addition to
evaluating discharge at various surveyed riffle cross sections on the project reaches, we also evaluated
the predicted discharge for the Mill Creek reference reach as a check of the analysis methodology. As
indicated in Table 8, there is considerable spread in the predicted design discharge values. The USGS 2-
year estimate typically provides an upper bound on the bankfull discharge while the critical discharge
estimates typically provide a lower bound.
The critical discharge estimates based on competence are at the low end of the range for all project
reaches where suitable samples could be obtained. The regional curve and USGS estimates are also at
the low end of the discharge range. Our selected design values are based primarily on hydraulic models
that include surveyed cross sections with reliable bankfull indicators, in each case a well - defined bench
with evidence of relatively recent flow. The reach -wide model, which also accounts for floodplain and
channel roughness, allowed us to adjust discharge until the stage matched the stable bankfull indicators.
We also used the model to check for other possible geomorphic features (scour lines, changes in bank
angle, etc.) using the range of predicted discharges and were unable to identify any reliable indicators of
the bankfull stage in the surveyed cross sections other than those that were first identified in the field. We
are confident in the modeled discharges because they are based on site - specific measurements rather
than predictions based on average regional conditions or empirical formulae.
Also, as discussed in Section 7.3.2, the design attempts to create sediment transport continuity with
upstream supply reaches so as to address widespread mid - channel deposition as is evident throughout
Moores Fork. The reach of Moores Fork immediately upstream of the project limits has greater transport
capacity than the project reach, owing mainly to a 40 percent greater slope. The existing stable cross
sections (M1.1, M1.6, M1.7, M1.9 and M1.10) appear to have adjusted shape and dimension to be in
better balance with the supply reach than the unstable cross sections, likely because of more robust bank
vegetation and more frequent floodplain access. Our analysis of a design discharge based on regional
relationships or critical discharge estimates indicates that such a design would lead to even more
sediment transport imbalance than currently exists because the resulting smaller cross section would
have less competence and capacity.
We have considered contributing factors to explain the wide spread between predicted and "measured"
discharges. We also surveyed additional cross sections and profiles near the upstream limits of Moores
Fork and these surveys confirm our measurements and predictions in the supply reach and project
reaches. Our observations in the Moores Fork watershed indicate that the differences are likely
attributable to relatively low infiltration rates caused by soil compaction in pastures, shallow bedrock,
steep upland areas and impervious surfaces along the Interstate 77 corridor.

On reaches of the Silage and Pond Tributaries, reliable bankfull indicators could not be located and
estimates based on field indicators could not be made. We did not perform hydraulic or sediment
transport analyses for reaches where pattern or profile are not proposed to be changed.
The smaller project reaches (Silage, Pond, Barn and Corn Tributaries) were either so heavily impacted by
cattle or small enough in cross section to make pebble counts infeasible. In order to gather some
sediment size data for these streams, representative bar samples were collected and analyzed; the Pond
Tributary is so heavily trampled that even bar sampling was not feasible.
7.3.2 Sediment Transport
As part of our sediment transport evaluations, we considered landscape position and the connections
between the various reaches, with a focus on Moores Fork. A qualitative assessment of Moores Fork at
the project site and the reach upstream reveals the following general conditions:
• The reach immediately upstream is a both a source of sediment to the project reaches (through
hillslope and bank erosion processes) and a transport reach. Sediment export appears to be
balanced with supply; the reach has a bedrock controlled profile, a steep, rocky hillside on the
right bank and exposed, unstable soils on the left bank.
• Reach 1 is primarily a transport reach, similar in profile to the upstream reach with somewhat
more prominent bars, some of which are influenced by in- stream woody debris.
• Reach 2 is primarily a storage reach, but extensive bank erosion provides a source of fine
sediment to the system. Lateral erosion has allowed large mid - channel and lateral bars to form.
• Reach 3 has storage, source and transport sub - reaches, with several large bars (storage),
widespread bank erosion and hillslope colluvium (source) and bedrock controlled bed and banks
(transport).
Given the presence of mid - channel sediment deposition and abundant bedrock in the bed, aggradation is
more of a concern that degradation for Moores Fork. Our Moores Fork sediment transport analyses were
targeted on developing design strategies to accommodate excess sediment supply
Table 8 above summarizes sediment transport competence analyses; supporting data are included in
Appendix C. Our analyses indicate the design streams (in terms of cross section and profile) will
transport the size of the large bed materials sampled at the site. We also evaluated sediment transport
capacity and continuity between the supply and design reaches, using unit stream power as the indicator
parameter. We compared stream power over a range of stages up to and above the bankfull stage to
check if continuity was achieved. Hydraulic models (HEC -RAS and RIVERMorph) of the existing and
Moores Fork Stream Restoration Project - Draft Final Mitigation Plan July 2012

design conditions were used to support the sediment transport analyses by providing hydraulic
parameters such as hydraulic radius, slope, shear stress, and power. Graphical output of these analyses
is included in Appendix C.
Slope and cross section size and shape are the factors that determine stream power. There is no
realistic opportunity to increase slope in the project reaches to match the supply reach slope, so cross
section shape and size become the design focus. As discussed in Section 7.3.3, there are geotechnical
stability considerations for cross section design; the design attempts to optimize sediment transport
continuity and bank stability.
Analyses indicate that the design unit stream power in the Moores Fork restoration and enhancement
reaches is somewhat lower than the supply reach, but greater than the existing conditions up to the
bankfull stage. The decrease in sediment transport capacity from the supply reach to the project reaches
suggests that excess sediment may continue to deposit in the project reaches. The design cross section
shape and size accounts for this potential by providing space for sediment deposition in advantageous
sections of the channel, such as in point bars. In- stream vane structures will also be used to reduce the
potential for mid - channel deposition in riffles and runs. We expect that sediment loads and the potential
for excessive mid - channel deposition will be reduced once upstream banks on the site are stabilized, but
off -site reaches will likely continue to deliver a relatively large supply of sediment.
At the Silage Tributary, sediment supply is low and velocities are high, so the main concern in the steep
Reach 1 is down - cutting and the key parameter is boundary shear. Comparisons of existing versus
design boundary shear for Reach 1 indicate reductions in the design shear at the bankfull stage. At twice
the bankfull stage and beyond when valley morphology dictates hydraulic behavior, the design shear is
slightly higher than the existing shear, but not enough of a difference to warrant design adjustments. The
flatter Silage Tributary Reach 2 and the Pond Tributary are similar to Moores Fork in terms of
morphology, and bank erosion and deposition are the main concerns. For both of these reaches, the
estimated shear and unit stream power values are similar to the existing cases up to the bankfull stage.
Above the bankfull stage, the design values are less than the existing up to about 2.5 times the bankfull
stage, at which valley morphology governs the hydraulics.
The primary design goal for proposed enhancement reach of the Barn Tributary is to provide floodplain
access in order to reduce shear on the badly incised banks. Analyses indicate an abrupt decrease in
shear at the bankfull stage. The estimated shear increases approaches the reference case at stages of
about 2 times bankfull, where valley morphology comes into play.
7.3.3 Cross Section
Design discharge and sediment transport analyses inform the design of cross section dimensions and
shapes; cross section dimensions and shapes along with slope govern hydraulic parameters that are
relevant to design. Past experience also informs the cross section design. For example, project
monitoring over the past several years has indicated that a newly constructed E or C -type channel with a
width -depth ratio less than about 10 can lead to stability problems. We evaluated reference cross
sections (on Moores Fork and the Corn and Barn Tributaries) as indications of bankfull area and general
shape, but the design bank slopes are also governed by geotechnical stability needs during the
monitoring period in areas where little or no deep- rooted vegetation will be present for the first few
growing seasons. Ratios of pool -to- riffle depth and top width are based in part on reference reach data
and in part on past experience.
As noted in the previous section, the design cross sections will accommodate sediment storage within the
channel on point bars and /or in lateral bars upstream of vane structures. This stored sediment is
available for transport during large flow events, which promotes long -term stability and sediment transport
equilibrium. Mobilized sediment in the project reaches will be replaced by sediment from upstream.

7.3.4 Plan and Profile
Plan geometry design is based on multiple factors, chiefly the selected design slope and lateral
constraints such as easement boundaries and topography. At a particular plan feature such as a
meander bend, geometry is based on a range of dimensionless ratios that have proven to be effective in
meeting design objectives while promoting stability. The prime example for plan geometry is radius of
curvature ratio; well- vegetated reference reaches (Mill Creek for example) suggest a radius of curvature
ratio of 1.0 or less would be desirable, but experience indicates that a ratio less than about 1.8 places
undue stresses on newly constructed banks that lack deep rooted vegetation. Reference cross
section /reach data are summarized in Appendix C.
We considered reference reaches when developing plan geometry. Our search for a Moores Fork
reference reach included upstream reaches of Moores itself and several other streams in relatively
undisturbed watersheds, primarily in Surry County. We identified a reach of Mill Creek with a stable
meander bend in a valley and with bed materials similar to those found in Moores Fork. As with
reference cross sections, reference plan form is useful as a general guide for parameters such as belt
width, radius of curvature and pool -pool spacing. However, as with low width -depth ratios in reference
cross sections, tight radii and pool spacing in reference reaches often cannot be assigned to a design
reach without risk of stability problems in the time while vegetation is becoming established. The selected
pattern and profile take into account aquatic habitat needs, stability throughout the monitoring period and
space constraints. With pattern being directly linked to profile, we considered profile constraints such as
existing bedrock outcrops as well as sediment transport equilibrium when assigning profile grades.
The target stream type for Moores Fork is a moderately sinuous, moderate width -depth ratio C4, which is
appropriate for the relatively flat and wide alluvial valley through which it will flow. Reaches 1 and 3 will
be constructed largely within the existing channel, with modest pattern shifts where existing pattern is
unstable. In- stream structures will be incorporated in both of these reaches to promote sediment
transport equilibrium, riffle and pool formation, and enhanced bank stability. Reach 2 will be constructed
mainly off -line to position the channel in the low point of the valley and provide better floodplain access on
both banks. The overall approach can be described as a hybrid Rosgen Priority 2/3 restoration.
Given its slope and confined valley, the stable morphology for Reach 1 of the Silage Tributary is a step -
pool, B4 stream type. For key profile design parameters such as step height, pool width and depth and
pool spacing, we consulted the research of Chin and Abrahams, Li and Atkinson. We established the
design profile based on the ratio of step height to step length, which was found in stable natural step pool
systems to vary from 1 to 2. In order to limit the potential for excess shear stress on the structures and
surrounding bed and banks, the step height was capped at 12 inches. Where fish passage is a
consideration (not the case for the Silage Tributary because there does not appear to be a fish population
present), step heights will be limited to 6 inches, Because of the highly confined nature of the Silage
Tributary and the desire to preserve mature upland trees, addressing eroding banks and incised
conditions through bank sloping is not practical. The design solution is to partially fill the channel (3 to 4
feet deep) with clayey soil (compacted in horizontal lifts not exceeding 9 inches in thickness) and create a
new channel cross section and step pool profile at a higher elevation. Vegetated upland areas will be
protected. The new bed will be reinforced with stone riffles, sized to resist mobilization at flows beyond
bankfull. For the purposes of this mitigation plan we are assuming no loss of stream length.
Reach 2 of the Silage Tributary, the Corn Tributary and the Barn Tributary are similar in terms of
morphology; each is a relatively steep alluvial channel with significant incision and bank erosion problems
with little length to transition to a stable profile end point. The design approaches for these streams are
also similar. The channels will be left in their current alignments, banks will be graded to stable slopes,
bankfull benches will be constructed and in- stream structures will be used to promote bed and bank
stability. Reference cross sections on stable reaches of the Corn and Barn Tributaries were used to size
the design cross sections for these streams.
The target stream type for the Pond Tributary is a moderately sinuous, moderate width -depth ratio C4.
The project reach begins at the outlet of the culvert where flow drops about 2 feet to a small plunge pool
at the existing thalweg. The design profile will start at this existing thalweg elevation, taking advantage of
Moores Fork Stream Restoration Project - Draft Final Mitigation Plan July 2012
29
the energy dissipating effects of the pool, and then abandon the badly trampled channel for a new
alignment across the floodplain to the east. The downstream end of the profile includes a 1.5 -foot high
transition to the Moores Fork thalweg, which will be constructed using a grade control structure.
Both of the Cow Tributaries will be stabilized in their current channels, using grade control structures in
select locations to address headcut erosion. These reaches are badly trampled by cattle and should
respond well to livestock exclusion, both in terms of morphology and buffer vegetation.
The design includes filling and stabilizing gullies at the headwaters of the Silage Tributary, the Cow 1 and
Cow 2 Tributaries, UT1 and two runoff conveyances entering Moores Fork Reach 3. The proposed gully
stabilization will include upland measures such as level spreaders, swales and vegetation to divert and /or
redirect concentrated runoff away from gullies. Check dams made from riprap, woody brush, crushed
concrete, decay resistant logs and other on -site materials will be used to reduce erosive stresses in the
gullies and promote long -term healing. Stabilized areas will be planted with species and densities as
specified for buffer areas.
7.3.5 In- Stream Structures
In- stream structure types and locations were selected based on design stability, habitat enhancement and
sediment transport objectives within each reach. Table 9 below provides a summary of specific
objectives for the proposed structures. Data and analyses supporting the sizing of stone for in- stream
structures are provided in Appendix C.
7.3.6 Farm Management Plan
The Surry Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) s developed a Conservation Plan that will be
implemented as part of the project. EEP and the SWCD will install a water well that will supply four
separate watering stations around the farm. The plan also includes two heavy use areas installed so that
livestock can be fed away from all streams during the winter months and a stock trail so the livestock can
be moved from pasture to pasture without crossing inside the conservation easement areas. The
Conservation Plan Map is included in Appendix D.

9.0 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
In accordance with the provisions in CFR Title 33, "performance standards that will be used to assess
whether the project is achieving its objectives... and should relate to the objectives ... so that the project
can be objectively evaluated to determine if it is developing into the desired resource type, providing the
expected functions, and attaining any other applicable metrics ".
Table 11 below lists proposed success criteria for channel stability and riparian buffer vegetation. Year to
year comparisons for the various parameters will allow adaptive management to be implemented early on
in the monitoring period if necessary in order to reduce the risk of widespread problems.

11.0 LONG -TERM MANAGEMENT PLAN
Upon approval for close -out by the Interagency Review Team (IRT) the site will be transferred to the
NCDENR Division of Natural Resource Planning and Conservation's Stewardship Program. This party
shall be responsible for periodic inspection of the site to ensure that restrictions required in the
conservation easement or the deed restriction document(s) are upheld. Endowment funds required to
uphold easement and deed restrictions shall be negotiated prior to site transfer to the responsible party.
The NCDENR Division of Natural Resource Planning and Conservation's Stewardship Program currently
houses EEP stewardship endowments within the non - reverting, interest - bearing Conservation Lands
Stewardship Endowment Account. The use of funds from the Endowment Account is governed by North
Carolina General Statute GS 113A- 232(d) (3). Interest gained by the endowment fund may be used only
for the purpose of stewardship, monitoring, stewardship administration, and land transaction costs, if
applicable. The NCDENR Stewardship Program intends to manage the account as a non - wasting
endowment. Only interest generated from the endowment funds will be used to steward the
compensatory mitigation sites. Interest funds not used for those purposes will be re- invested in the
Endowment Account to offset losses due to inflation.
12.0 ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT PLAN
Upon completion of site construction EEP will implement the post- construction monitoring protocols
previously defined in this document. Project maintenance will be performed as described previously in
this document. If, during the course of annual monitoring it is determined the site's ability to achieve site
performance standards are jeopardized, EEP will notify the USACE of the need to develop a Plan of
Corrective Action. The Plan of Corrective Action may be prepared using in -house technical staff or may
require engineering and consulting services. Once the Corrective Action Plan is prepared and finalized
EEP will:
1. Notify the USACE as required by the Nationwide 27 permit general conditions.
2. Revise performance standards, maintenance requirements, and monitoring requirements as
necessary and /or required by the USACE.
3. Obtain other permits as necessary.
4. Implement the Corrective Action Plan.
5. Provide the USACE a Record Drawing of Corrective Actions. This document shall depict the
extent and nature of the work performed.
13.0 FINANCIAL ASSURANCES
Pursuant to Section IV H and Appendix III of the Ecosystem Enhancement Program's In -Lieu Fee
Instrument dated July 28, 2010, the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
has provided the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington District with a formal commitment to fund
projects to satisfy mitigation requirements assumed by EEP. This commitment provides financial
assurance for all mitigation projects implemented by the program.

CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE OF EVENTS
Phase 1: Mobilization and General Site Preparation
1. Mobilize equipment and materials to the site. Locate limits of disturbance.
2. Establish construction entrances /exits and staging areas as shown on the plans. Access to the site
will be via Horton Road and existing farm paths. Existing stream crossings (culverts and bridge) shall be
used during construction. Install additional temporary stream crossings on Moores Fork as needed
to access work areas.
3. Establish construction haul routes using existing farm paths to the extent feasible. Minimize
disturbance beyond immediate haul routes and grading limits. Stabilize haul route surfaces with
stone and filter fabric as necessary.
4. Hardwood trees 12 inches dbh and larger that require removal per the plans shall be salvaged for
on-site use as in- stream structures. Attention shall be paid to the specified trunk lengths of log and
root wad structures shown on the plans.
5. The stems and root masses of exotic invasive species (multi flora rose, Chinese privet, etc.)
generated during grading operations shall be bufned on site or disposed in approved off site
locations.
6. Any stockpiled materials not used for backfill within 30 days of excavation shall be stabilized with
temporary seed and straw mulch
Phase 2: Off -Line Channel Construction
1. Perform sod mat cutting within grading limits and stockpile separate from backfill soil for later use
on stream banks and planting areas. Limit stripping to those areas that will be graded within 3 days
to minimize softening and degradation of subgrade soils under construction traffic.
2. When excavating new offline channel, lea%eplugs of existing bank material in place atupstream
and downstream ends. Base flow shall be maintained in the existing channel until new channel is
fully stabilized with sod mats, seeding and structures riffles
3. Complete in- stream structure installation and bank stabilization on the new channel. Transplant sod
mats. Seed and mat banks where sod mat transplanting is not feasible. Stockpile excavated soils
between new channel and existing channel for later backfilling. Silt fence shall be installed on the
creek side of all stockpiles.
4. Working from the top of the existing stream banks, excavate gravel and cobble bar sediment and
stockpile separately for use in constructed riffles and otherstructures
5. Once the new channel is stabilized, complete tie ins from existing to new channel, taking
precautions to limit introduction of soil to live stream. Diverting water into the new channel shall
proceed according to the following steps
a. Remove plug at downstream end of new off -line channel
b. Setup pump- around operation above upstream tie -in.
c. Grade online stream channel to proper dimensions and profile and tie -in to new offline
channel.
d. Backfill abandoned channel upstream to downstream, using stockpiled soil, compacted in
lifts not to exceed 12 inches in thickness. Stabilize with straw mulch, temporary and
permanent seed.
Phase 3: On -Line Channel Construction
1. Base flow shall be diverted per the plans using a single diversion setup if feasible. Install temporary
sandbag cofferdams upstream and downstream of work area. Install pump, suction and discharge
lines, and divert flow around tie -in area. Install dewatering pump as necessary and discharge
through silt bag.
2. Perform earthwork, in- stream structure installation, geo- lifts, seeding, mulching and matting per the
plans. Salvage gravel and cobble sediment for use in constructed riffles and other structures.
2. Permanently dispose of excavated material in approved upland or off- site area. Silt fence shall be
installed on the creek side of all temporary stockpiles.
3. Temporarily dismantle flow diversion prior to flood event that exceeds capacity of diversion,
ensuring that work areas are fully stabilized.
4. Once restored channel is fully stabilized, dismantle pumps, discharge lines and coffer dams and
return flow to restored channel.
Phase 4: Demobilization
1. Upon completion of stream and floodplain grading operations, silt fences shall be removed,
construction entrances /exits shall be removed, and the construction haul routes shall be graded,
seeded and mulched as needed to restore them to their pre - project conditions.
2. Upon demobilization of equipment and materials, the staging areas shall be restored to their pre
project conditions.
Phase 4a: Planting
1. Site planting, including live stakes and bare root trees and shrubs shall be completed after grading
and in- stream structure operations are complete and during the dormant season (November to
April).
