' . . Prepared by: _ _ _ -°�. � �� VIRONMENTAL � . This plan proposes restoration of the mid-channel island within Walnut Creek to similar conditions that existed as shown in photographs from 2007 and 2009 The applicant added one to two feet of additional rock/boulders to the top of the island Conduit and rebar were buried in a cement pad along the southeastern side of the island A stacked rock bench was added at the front (upstream) end of the island in front of the large boulders that were previously existed in 2007 and 2009 Mr ]oe Noha has contacted Mr Bob Stewart with Dirt Plus about contracting the restoration services Mr Stewart is familiar with the pro�ect site and he can provide the necessary services The restoration work will need to commence after April 15, 2012 due to the��Trout designation of Walnut Creek The timing of the restoration during 2012 will also be contingent upon receipt of the trout buffer variance from the NC Division of Land Quality Once the trout buffer variance is obtained the work wili be scheduled as soon as possible Restoration of the stacked rock cemented bench will occur using a hand operated �ack hammer or by hand labor using sledge hammers If neither of these two methods proved successful then a pneumatic�ack hammer on the end of the arm of a track hoe may be needed to loosen the material even though it is not anticipated to be necessary at this location The loosened materials will be transferred either by wheel barrel or by a front end loader to a dump truck and hauled off site to an upland disposal location Any salvageable rocks removed from the bench will be stacked on the properry for later use in landscaping in upland areas Restoration of the top of the island will consist of loosening the rock, cement, and rebar with similar methods as presented above It is anticipated that removal of the rebar/concrete pad will require a heavier method such as a track hoe operated �ack hammer mentioned above The cement, rebar, and any trash" rocks will be moved from the island to a dump truck with wheel barrels and a front end loader As many of the rocks and boulders as possible will be salvaged in this area as well Once the concrete pad is broken into pieces the electrical conduit can be removed The elevation of the island will be restored to as close to pre-existing as possible The large boulders at the upstream end, the stacked rock along the sides, and the foot bridge will remain A riparian seed mix will be spread and stabilized with straw matting on the top of the mid channel island once restoration activities are complete The existing hardened surface of the island will be restored to a natural loose surface containing a mix of boulders, cobble, gravel, and sand Restoration activities will not commence until the applicant has received approval of the 404 Corps permit, the 401 Water Quaiity Certification, and the trout buffer variance The timeline for restoration activities is presented below d • transport equipment to site 1 day • remove rock bench and hauling 2 days . remove cement pad, rebar, conduit and hauling 5 days • remove remainder of top layer(s) of island and hauling 5 days • stabilize site 1 day This timeline allows for three weeks for completion of the restoration of the island if weather conditions are not favorable then the restoration will take longer The applicant or the applicant's consultant will notify the agencies prior to commencement of the restoration work The following observations and professional opinions address the concern that the enclosed banks of the left braid of Walnut Creek create a chute effect that could potentially create unstable conditions downstream From information gained from Mr Noha dating back more than ten years and from photos dating back to 2004, the left braid has always been the secondary braid and has been narrower than the right braid The main flow of Walnut Creek is in the right braid as well as the main flow during storm events The left braid does get significant storm flows which create mcreased velocities and rise in water elevations, however the fall and large pool at the downstream confluence is capable of absorbing energy during storm flows There are also very large boulders surrounding the pool at the confluence that absorb and dissipate energy during higher flow storm events There is a log dam �ust downstream that was built in con�unction with a historic water wheel that helps to absorb energy during higher flow events The water fall and subsequent pool �ust below the log dam also absorbs energy and slows flows during rain events Once restored to its orig�nal elevation and more natural condition (loose material and vegetation) the sub�ect mid-channel island will perform a positive natural function within the channel Like the two other smaller islands immediately downstream, the island will act as small flood prone area within the steep valley walls during high flows During normal flows, the two braids on either side of the island still maintain the necessary capacity to move sediment through the system � � REMQ BENCH 0 O LARGE BOULDERS �o�� TO REMAIN � p � REMOVE TOP LAYERS OF ROCK AND CEMENT � � � � a c> �� ,r REMOVE
