Tributaries to Wickers Branch Stream Restoration Site
Year 4 (2018) Monitoring Report
DMS Project No. 95022
1.0 PROJECT SUMMARY
The Tributaries of Wicker Branch Stream Restoration Project is located in Union County, North
Carolina in the Yadkin River Basin, (HUC 03040105081010), and within a North Carolina
Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) Targeted Local
Watershed (TLW). It is also located within the watershed of Lanes Creek, a 303d-listed stream
and Water Supply Watershed.
The project site consists of four headwater stream channels that flow through agricultural land
and prior to restoration efforts were devoid of riparian vegetation. Past and present agricultural
use of the land had severely impacted and degraded the channels. The project goals address
stressors identified in the TLW and include the following:
• Improved water quality in Wicker Branch.
• Improve aquatic habitat in the tributary channels.
• Provide aesthetic value, wildlife habitat, and bank stability through the creation of a
riparian zone.
• Create a contiguous wildlife corridor, with connection of some isolated adjacent natural
habitats to larger downstream forested tracts.
• Provide shading and biomass input to the stream and mast for wildlife when vegetation
is mature.
These objectives were achieved through restoring, enhancing, and preserving 4020 feet of
perennial and intermittent stream channel. The riparian areas were also planted with native
vegetation to improve habitat and protect water quality. The project reaches consist of Tributary
1A (Priority 1 Restoration), Tributary 1B (Enhancement Level II including invasive species
control), Tributary 2 (Preservation), Tributary 3 (Enhancement Levels I and II), and Tributary 4
(Enhancement Level II)(See Table 1 in Appendix A and Figure 2 in Appendix A).
Tributary 2 was determined to be unsuitable for mitigation credits during a site visit with the
USACE in August, 2011. It was requested by the USACE that a 30 foot buffer and conservation
easement be acquired to provide riparian habitat connectivity between the restored segments of
Tributary 1A and upstream wooded areas.
An Interagency Review Team (IRT) visit to the site was performed in April 25 that identified
several issues that included:
• Areas of low stem density
• Lack of channel formation on Tributary 3 between wetlands
• Bankfull data event collection and verification
• Presence of invasive privet along Tributary 1b
• Easement encroachments at several equipment crossings
A memorandum documenting the meeting and the actions taken is included in Appendix F. A
site visit was also performed by DMS Property and NCDEQ Stewardship personnel on October
5, 2018. A memorandum documenting their concerns and the actions taken is also included in
Appendix F.

Tributaries to Wickers Branch Stream Restoration Site
Year 4 (2018) Monitoring Report
DMS Project No. 95022
Project success will be determined by monitoring channel stability and vegetation within the
easement. Success criteria have been outlined in the 2013 Mitigation Plan and include a stable
dimension, pattern, and profile documented through the surveying of cross-sections and
longitudinal profiles. Vegetation monitoring plots will have a minimum of 260 stems per acre
after 5 years.
Project design was completed in December 2013 and the project constructed in September and
October 2014. Planting was complete in March 2015 (See Table 2 in Appendix A).
Herbaceous vegetation is well established though out the easement. The vegetation monitoring
plots show an average density of 445 stems per acre down from baseline planting of 684 stems
per acre but still well above the 320 stems per acre at end of year 3 and 260 stems per acre at
year 5. Two plots do not meet the vegetation success criteria. Plots 6 and 10 are at 243 stems
per acre, just under the success criteria. A number of volunteer woody stems are present
throughout the easement. Volunteer species included black locust, elm, box elder, persimmon,
oaks, sweetgum, pine, willows, elderberry, and redbud.
Work on controlling or removing invasive species occurred throughout the summer. Chinese
privet (Ligustrum sinense) that was present in the buffer along Tributary 1B responded well to
treatment in 2018 contained isolated stems which were cut and treated in 2019. Isolated privet
that has started to appear in the buffer along Tributary 1A, and Tributary 4 were also treated.
Several areas of dense honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) that developed in isolated areas on
Tributary 1 and 3 were treated in 2019. Scattered chinaberry (Melia azedarach) trees along the
edges of Tributary 1 and 3 were cut as well. A small area of cat-tails (Typha sp.) was also
treated but did not seem to respond to the herbicide. The cat-tails will be treated again in the
spring once growth begins.
The restored stream channels appear to be stable with no areas of bank erosion observed.
During construction in 2014 a headcut at the bottom of Tributary 1B was stabilized with a log sill
and stone. Floodplain flows during bankfull events started to erode the bank around the left
bank side of the sill in 2018. This was repaired in 2019 by filling the eroding area with soil and
rock and placing a log sill in the floodplain to direct flow away from the end of the instream sill
(see photograph at the end of Appendix B).
The adjacent fields were planted in corn in 2019. The only encroachment that has occurred this
year is at the top of Tributary 2. The encroachment has occurred because the equipment
crossing is not wide enough to accommodate the farmers equipment. AECOM is working with
the landowner and the farmer that leases the property to develop a temporary exception to the
easement that will allow access. The buffer present in this area is along an ephemeral drainage
that does not generate any credits and not along the main stream channel (Tributary 1). The
area of encroachment is shown on Figure 3 in Appendix B.
Hydrology
AECOM is currently monitoring the stream flow on Tributaries 1 and 3 using Onset HOBO
pressure transducers. Transducers are installed in two separate pools on each of the tributaries
for a total of 4 locations. On Tributary 1A a transducer is located on the downstream end of the
project and a second is located above the confluence with Tributary 2. On Tributary 3 one
3

Year 4 (2018) Monitoring Report
DMS Project No. 95022
transducer is located on the downstream end and a second is located in a pool just below the
wetland at the beginning of the Enhancement I reach. The locations of the transducers are
shown on Figure 3 Current Condition Plan View in Appendix B.
The transducers are suspended in the pool at a set elevation and use pressure to measure the
depth of water over (above) the transducer. The elevation of the transducer is known, as is the
elevation of the head of the riffle and the top of the bank (for bankfull flow). When the elevation
of the water level in the pool above the transducer exceeds the elevation of the head of the
riffle, then it is assumed that flow is occurring. The data for the transducers (which monitor flow)
is presented in graphs that can be found in Appendix E.
A large rain event in early October 2018 (1.2 inches on October 10 and 1.9 inches on October
11) recharged flow in the site tributaries so that flow was typically present through April.
Tributary 1 had continuous flow in the lower portion from October 21, 2018 through April 22,
2019. The upper portion of Tributary 1 fluctuated a bit more but had continuous flow from
January 23 through April 22, 2019. Tributary 3 had flow in both the upper and lower reaches
from October through April 22, 2019.
A bankfull event was recorded by the transducers on April 8, 2019 and confirmed through visual
observation of rack lines and debris in the floodplain during an April 22, 2019 site visit. Bankfull
events were also recorded on February 22, and March 1, 2019 by the transducers.
Tributary 3 Stream Mitigation Units
The project as described in the Mitigation Plan is projected to generate 2539.65 SMUs through
a mixture of Restoration, Enhancement I, and Enhancement II. During the Interagency Review
Team (IRT) site visit in April 2017 it was noted that the upper reach located between two
wetland areas was silted in and lacked a distinct channel. This reach is 264 feet in length and
has been proposed as Enhancement II at a Mitigation Ratio of 2.5:1. This length was projected
to generate 105.6 SMUs.
During the October 2018 monitoring it was observed that a channel was starting to reform in this
reach. The channel will continued to be monitored to see if a channel continues to reform and
to what extent (length).
2.0 METHODOLOGY
Vegetation survival, channel stability, and wetland hydrology were monitored on the project site.
Post restoration monitoring will occur for a minimum of five years or until success criteria are
met.
2.1 VEGETATION
Eleven vegetation plots were established and assess for the baseline vegetation monitoring.
The Carolina Vegetative Survey-EEP Protocol Level 2 methodology was used to sample
vegetation on October 14 and 15, 2015 (Lee et al. 2006, http://cvs.bio.unc.edu/methods.htm).

Year 4 (2018) Monitoring Report
DMS Project No. 95022
2.2 STREAM ASSESSMENT
Twelve permanent monitoring cross-sections have been established on the site as follows:
• Tributary 1A (1,390 feet) – 4 riffle and 3 pool cross-sections
• Tributary 3 (640 feet) – 2 riffle and 1 pool cross-sections
• Tributary 4 (631 feet) – 2 riffle cross-sections
Wolman pebble counts were conducted on each cross-section. Particle sizes less than 2.0
millimeters (mm) were determined by touch using the following guidelines:
• Silt – Smooth feeling (not gritty)
• Fine sand – Slightly gritty texture
• Coarse sand – Very gritty texture
Multiple parameters were located including top of bank, thalweg, and water surface. Pool and
riffle features were called out to calculate feature slopes and lengths. The survey was performed
with a survey grade GPS (Trimble TCS3 with an R8 Model 3 GNSS receiver).
2.3 VISUAL ASSESSMENT
A visual assessment of the stream was performed to assess the bank (lateral stability), bed
(vertical stability), the easement boundary, and site vegetation.
2.4 DIGITAL PHOTOS
Digital photos of each of the vegetation plots and each cross-section were also taken as seen in
Appendix B.

This number is calculatedas the easement acreage minus any existing mature tree stands that were notsubject to supplemental planting of theunderstory, the channel acreage, crossings or any other elements not directly planted as part of the project effort.2= The acreage within the easement boundaries.3= Encroachment may occur within or outside of planted areas and will there25fore be calculated against the overall easement acreage. In the event a polygon is cataloged into items 1, 2 or 3 in the tableand is the result of encroachment, the associated acreage should be tallied in the relevant item (i.e., item 1,2 or 3) as well as a parallel tally in item5.4= Invasives may occur in or out of planted areas, but still within the easement and will therefore be calculated against the overall easement acreage.Invasives of concern/interest are listed below. The listof high concern spcies are those with the potential to directly outcompetenative, young, woody stems in the short-term (e.g. monitoring period or shortly thereafter) or affect the community structure forexisting, more established tree/shrub stands over timeframes that are slightly longer (e.g. 1-2 decades). The low/moderate concern group are those species that generally do not have this capacity over thetimeframes discussed and therefore are not expected to be mapped with regularity, but can be mapped, if in the judgement of the observer their coverage, density or distribution is suppressing the viability,density, or growth of planted woody stems. Decisions as to whether remediation will be needed are based on the integration of risk factors by EEP such as species present, their coverage, distributionrelative to native biomass, and the practicality of treatment. For example, even modest amounts of Kudzu or Japanese Knotweed early in the projects history will warrant control, but potentially largecoverages of Microstegium in the herb layer will not likley trigger control because of the limited capacities to impact tree/shrub layers within thetimeframes discussed and the potential impacts of treatingextensive amounts of ground cover. Those species with the "watch list" designator in gray shade are of interest as well, but have yet to be observed across the state with any frequency. Those inred italicsare of particular interest given their extreme risk/threat level for mapping as points where isolated specimens are found, particularly ealry in a projects monitoring history. However, areas of discreet, densepatches will of course be mapped as polygons. The symbology scheme below was one that was found to be helpful for symbolzing invasives polygons, particulalry for situations where the conditon for anarea is somewhere between isolated specimens and dense, discreet patches. In any case, the point or polygon/area feature can be symbolized to describe things like high or low concern and species canbe listed as a map inset, in legend items if the number of species are limitedor in the narrative section of the executive summary.

Re: Tributaries to Wicker Branch Restoration Site, Union County -
2017 Credit Release and IRT Site Visit
Date: 5/4/2017
Meeting Summary
Below are summary points discussed during the 4/17/2017 Tributaries to Wicker Branch Credit
Release on-site meeting. The meeting was held to evaluate the viability of the 2017-MY2
requested credit release. This full delivery site is currently undergoing MY3 mitigation success
monitoring.
Project Name: Tributaries to Wicker Branch
DMS ID: 95022
DMS PM: Harry Tsomides

Areas of low stem density - While the overall stem density is showing success, there are numerous
grassy expanses along the stream where planted stems are not evident. It was recommended that
supplemental planting be conducted this fall/winter so that larger areas with low woody stem density
more closely represent the plot location densities. Transect data collection was also discussed as a tool
to provide data for non-plot areas, and if this is collected it should be included in the annual monitoring
reports (locations, basic methodology, stem counts, etc).
Stream segment between wetland areas on Trib 3 where a stream is not evident – Keep monitoring
and looking for stream channel formation; if wetland conditions persist there could be withholding of
stream credits in future years.
Bank full event data collection and verification – Several recommendations were made by the IRT: (1)
Add a continuous flow gage on Trib 1A, 50-100 feet above the confluence with Trib 2, (2) add a second
continuous flow gage at least half way up Trib 3, as flow gages at the bottom end of low flow channels
do not represent reach-wide average flow conditions, (3) maintain crest gages /flow gages/mounted
cameras appropriately to make sure they are working and that we get good data every year since
hydrology has been the main project concern so far. The subject of proper placement of flow gages
came up and question asked why these were placed in pools rather than riffles. AECOM indicated they
were submerged in pools but the atmospheric corrections are being made and the elevations have been
set to record flow elevations at the head of the next downstream riffle. Overall, hydrology is a significant
concern since the site has not had a true documented post-construction bankfull flow event.
Invasives treatment – Everyone agreed privet needs to be treated aggressively on lower Tributary 1B.
AECOM indicated they are getting quotes from subcontractors for this work and that it will be
performed soon.
Easement violations –AECOM needs to keep the farmer from scalloping the edges in some locations;
also the crossing at lower Trib 3 has had recent encroachment along it due to equipment crossing.
AECOM indicated (and the group viewed) some areas where recent boundary marking improvements
had been installed by AECOM. AECOM will continue to monitor, post/repost as necessary to maintain
ensure compliance.
The IRT concluded that MY2 requested credits will be released; however the above issues will be
revisited during the MY3 requested credit release in early 2018.

Memorandum
This memorandum is to follow up on the April 25 IRT meeting. During that meeting the IRT requested
that AECOM provide an Adaptive Mitigation Plan to address invasives within the wooded area of
Reach 1B and to address encroachments on the equipment crossings on Tributary 2 and 3.
Additionally, they wanted information on the stream lengths and stream mitigation units (SMUs) that
were being generated by Tributary 1A and the upper reach of Tributary 3.
Invasives Treatment – The primary invasive species on Tributary 1B is Chinese privet, which is
present throughout the buffer. An initial treatment of the privet was performed in October 2014 when
the project underwent construction. A second treatment was performed in the Spring of 2016 but it
was not very effective. A third treatment was performed in October 2017. AECOM has contracted with
Habitat Assessment & Restoration Professionals (HARP) to perform two treatments of the privet in
2018. The first treatment will occur in May with a second treatment to follow. The timing of the second
treatment has not yet been determined, and will depend upon the effectiveness of the May treatment.
Additional treatments in 2019 (MY05) will be performed if necessary to control any remaining privet.
Easement Encroachment – The farmer that leases the land is currently encroaching on the
easement at the equipment crossings at Tributary 1 and Tributary 3. While additional signage was
placed in these areas in 2017, a small amount of encroachment is still occurring. Longitudinal
encroachments that occurred in 2015 and 2016 are no longer occurring. AECOM will reinstall signage
at the easement corners where the signs have been damaged by the large farm equipment. The
posts will be taller and more robust to ensure that the farmer sees and avoids the signs and the
encroachments. AECOM will also have additional discussions with the farmer regarding the need to
stay within the boundaries of the equipment crossings, and convey the seriousness of the easements.
We will also discuss the need to communicate the need to stay out of the easements to any of the
farm hands or equipment operators that farm the adjacent property.
Stream Lengths and Stream Mitigation Units – The project as described in the Mitigation Plan is
projected to generate 2539.65 SMUs through a mixture of Restoration, Enhancement I, and
Enhancement II. Tributary 1A consisted of 1390 feet of Restoration at a Mitigation Ratio of 1:1 which
would generate 1390 SMUs. On Tributary 3, there is a 264 foot reach between 2 wetland areas that
has been proposed as Enhancement II at a Mitigation Ratio of 2.5:1. This length was projected to
generate 105.6 SMUs. The total SMUs from Tributary 1A and the upper section of Tributary 3 is
1495.6 SMUs.

Memorandum
This memorandum is to respond to observations and comments from the October 5, 2018 site visit
performed by DMS Property (Jeffery Horton) and NCDEQ Stewardship ) Ed Hajnos) and provided to
AECOM via an email dated December 19, 2018 as well as a your site visit on October 16, 2018 and
provided in an email dated October 26, 2018 and letter dated December 17, 2018.
Invasives – Please continue treatments, including privet which is still abundant on UT1b; other areas
have honeysuckle which is choking out the planted trees. Some cattails; china berry, etc.
AECOM will continue to treat the privet along UT-1b. Areas with extensive growth of honeysuckle will
also be treated this spring. China berry trees will be physically cut. The cattails are confined to a
relatively small wet area. It is not anticipated that they will spread from that area. The cattails will
eventually be shaded out as the overstory develops. However, AECOM will treat the cattails with a
herbicide and plant willow livestakes to help initiate the process.
Lack of proper easement marking (loose/crooked signage, lack of signs/posts in between distant
corners, lack of corner posts altogether, poor visibility of low posts along easement edges, accuracy
of some corner/line locations). The site needs to be marked to stewardship standards before the
project closes out.
AECOM will replace/update the existing easement posts and signage with a combination of wooden
posts and taller t-posts to meet DMS standards.
Erosion - recent storm-induced damage on UT1b. AECOM indicates planned repair for 2019. Please
confirm.
AECOM will be repairing the erosion that has occurred at the log sill toward the lower end of Tributary
1B. Geotextile matting will be placed in the scour area and the hole backfilled with soil and rock. A log
sill will be installed in the floodplain immediately upstream of the scour hole to redirect flows during
flood events to help alleviate stress on the area.
Please confirm transducer locations are accurately mapped on the CCPV.
Transducer locations have been confirmed and updated locations are shown on the CCPV that was
submitted with the MY 4 report.

4-wheeler paths and minor access road incursions, Reach 1B.
AECOM will evaluate the areas to determine if they are still being used by 4-wheelers. The access
roads were present in the wooded areas of the easement when the easements were purchased and
are slowly becoming overgrown. Additional signage will be installed in the access roads to notify 4-
wheelers that a restricted buffer is present. AECOM will also discuss the use of 4-wheelers in the
easement with the landowner.
Stream mapping – It appears trib 4 may
be migrating out of the easement before
reentering it; this will need to be analyzed
and rectified if necessary since any
streams outside the easement will not
yield assets.
This should not be an issue with asset
generation. The very upper portion of
Tributary 4 (shown in black) is not
included in the asset calculations. As
shown on the figure to the left only the
lower 631 feet of Tributary 4 is
generating credits (highlighted in green).
The Asset map submitted with the MY4
report was updated to more accurately
reflect which portions of Tributaries 3 and
4 are generating assets.
Easement encroachment – Clipping of
crossing corners. What is being done to
rectify this? This was noted in the MY03
report as an issue in progress with the
landowner. What is the current status?
During project development AECOM
established 3 equipment crossing to
allow for access to the adjacent fields by
the farmer that leases the land from the
landowner. These crossings were
established at the top of Tributary 1A, top
of Tributary 2, and at the bottom of
Tributary 3. Historically clipping has occurred at all three crossings. Following discussions with the
farmer and the installation of additional signage clippage at Tributary 3 is no longer occurring.
There has been some clippage at the northeast corner of Tributary 1A. This has been due to lack of
adequate signage and the farmer not knowing/aware of where the corner was. AECOM had difficulty
installing adequate signage in this area due to the hardness of ground. A wooden post was installed
in this area in the Fall of 2018 and should eliminate the encroachment. The post will be “updated” with
3
a taller post this winter/spring when other boundary markers are upgraded.
The crossing at the top of
Tributary 2 remains problematic.
A 35 wide easement was
established at this crossing
during the early stages of site
development. When the
easement was established
AECOM assumed that the edge
of the property was the edge of
the treeline. The easement
boundary was established in
CAD prior to surveying the
easement in the field. When the
easement was finally surveyed
and marked in the field it
became apparent that there was
not enough room between the
edge of the easement and the
treeline for the farmer to cross
the easement with his equipment. The photo below depicts that combines that the farmer utilizes to
harvest crops on the property .

The above photo depicts the location of the corner of the easement at the top of Tributary 2 in relation
to the treeline. The Yellow Line is the far (northeast) corner of the easement and the wood post with
the sign is he northwest corner. There is sufficient room at the northeast corner but not at the
southeast corner. The photo below shows the farm equipment crossing the easement.
5
Expanding (or clearing) the crossing to the property line to allow for full use of the crossing would
require removal of several large trees.
AECOM would like permission to modify the easement to allow adequate room for the equipment. We
would work with the farmer to determine the exact distance but anticipate that it would look something
like the photo above. The above photo shows reducing the length of the easement by about 35 feet
on one side and maintaining it on the other. This would reduce the easement by about 1530 square
feet or 0.035 acre. It should be noted that the easement in this area is not actually buffering an asset.
Tributary 2 is an ephemeral feature that does not generate any stream credits.
Another option would be to not physically change the easement but just allow the area to continue to
be cleared by the farmer. It would remain grassed or overgrown but no trees would end up growing
on it. AECOM would like to discuss these options with DMS personnel in depth to determine a
possible solution.
