Water quality stressors currently affecting the Project include previous livestock production, agricultural production, and lack of riparian buffer. The Project presents 3,144 linear feet (LF) of stream restoration and enhancement generating 2,922 Warm Stream Mitigation Units (SMU) along Hauser Creek and two unnamed tributaries. The Project is located in the Yadkin River Basin within Cataloging Unit 03040101, Target Local Watershed (TLW) 03040101160010, and NC Division of Water Resources (DWR) subbasin 03-07-02. The current State classification for Hauser Creek is Water Supply IV (WS-IV). WS-IV waters are sources of water supply for drinking, culinary, or food processing purposes where a WS-I, II or III classification is not feasible. These waters are also protected for Class C uses (NCDWQ, 2011). Consisting of agricultural fields and wooded areas, the Project’s total easement area is approximately 13.22 acres within the overall drainage area of 810 acres. The Project is between two separate portions of the Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) Mockingbird Site. While each site could be developed independently of the other, the combined easements will result in a much larger contiguous protected corridor and high quality aquatic habitat. The Mockingbird Site has a total easement area that is approximately 27 acres and presents 8,998 linear feet of stream restoration, enhancement, and preservation. Additionally, the Mockingbird Site connects to the upstream end of the DMS Hauser Creek Mitigation Site. All sites combined total 49.3 acres and 14,605 LF of stream that will be protected in perpetuity. The lack of riparian buffer vegetation, deep-rooted vegetation, and unstable channel characteristics have contributed to the degradation of stream banks throughout the Project area. Goals for the Project include an increase to hydrologic function and restoration to ecological function within the existing stream and riparian corridor, and protect these features in perpetuity. These will be accomplished by returning the existing streams to stable conditions by constructing an E/C type stream with appropriate dimensions and pattern, reconnecting the channel to the floodplain, and backfilling the abandoned channel. In-stream structures will be installed for vertical stability and to improve habitat, where necessary. Buffer improvements will filter runoff from the surrounding pasture lands, thereby reducing nutrient and sediment loads to the channel. The widening and restoration of the riparian areas will also provide wildlife corridors throughout the Project area. Benefits to be accrued from these activities include improved water quality and terrestrial and aquatic habitat. The stream design approach for the Project is to combine the analog method of natural channel design with analytical methods to evaluate stream flows and hydraulic performance of the channel and floodplain. The analog method involves the use of a reference reach, or “template” stream, adjacent to, nearby, or previously in the same location as the design reach. The template parameters of the analog reach are replicated to create the features of the design reach. The analog approach is useful when watershed and boundary conditions are similar between the design and analog reaches (Skidmore et al., 2001). Hydraulic geometry is developed using analytical methods to identify the design discharge. After completion of all construction and planting activities, the Project will be monitored on a regular basis throughout the seven-year post-construction monitoring period, or until performance standards are met. Upon approval for closeout by the Interagency Review Team (IRT), the site will be transferred to Unique Places to Save (UP2S). This party shall serve as conservation easement holder and long-term steward for the property and will conduct periodic inspection of the site to ensure that restrictions required in the conservation easement are upheld. Endowment funds required to uphold easement and deed restrictions will be finalized prior to site transfer to the responsible party.

The Project lies within the Yadkin River Basin, North Carolina Department of Water Resources (NCDWR) sub- basin 03-07-02 and United States Geological Survey (USGS) 14-digit hydrologic unit code (HUC) 03040101160010 (Figure 1). The Project proposes to restore 2,686 linear feet (LF) of stream, enhance 458 LF of stream, and provide water quality benefit for 810 acres of drainage area. The Project is in the Southern Outer Piedmont Level IV ecoregion. The Project area is comprised of a single easement located along Hauser Creek and two unnamed tributaries, totaling 2,801 existing LF, which eventually drain into the Yadkin River. The stream mitigation components are summarized in Table 1 and Figure 10. The Project is between the 27-acre Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) Mockingbird Site (Figure 1). The Project is accessible from Spillman Road, through the Project parcel. Coordinates for the Project are as follows: 36.030798, - 80.516312. 1.2 Project Outcomes The streams proposed for restoration have been historically impacted by livestock production, agricultural practices, and a lack of riparian buffer. Proposed improvements to the Project will meet the river basin needs expressed in the 2009 Upper Yadkin Pee-Dee River Basin Restoration Priorities (RBRP) as well as ecological improvements to riparian corridor within the easement. Through stream restoration and enhancement, the Project presents 3,144 LF of proposed stream, generating 2,922 Warm Stream Mitigation Units (SMU) (Table 1). Table 1.

The Project watershed was identified as a Target Local Watershed (TLW) (HUC 03040101160010, Turner and Hauser Creeks TLW), a watershed that exhibits both the need and opportunity for stream, and riparian buffer restoration. More specifically, goals outlined in the 2009 RBRP for the watershed include: 1. Restoration of water quality and aquatic habitat in impaired stream segments; 2. Protection of high-resource value waters, including HQW, ORW, and WSW designated waters and those containing large numbers of rare and endangered species (Natural Heritage Element Occurrences); 3. Continuation of existing watershed restoration and protection initiatives and projects, including efforts funded by Clean Water Management Trust Fund (CWMTF), DWQ’s 319 Program, NC EEP, Ag Cost Share Program (ACSP) and Community Conservation Assistance Program (CCAP); 4. Collaborative efforts with local resource agencies, land trusts and willing landowners to implement new stream, riparian buffer and wetland restoration, enhancement and preservation projects within TLWs; 5. Improved management of stormwater runoff (including the implementation of stormwater BMP projects), especially in urban and suburban areas contributing to downstream degradation of stream habitat and impairment of water quality; and 6. Implementation of agricultural BMPs in order to limit inputs of sediment, nutrients, and fecal coliform to streams from active farming operations. 2.1 Site Selection The Project was identified as a stream and buffer restoration opportunity to improve water quality, habitat, and hydrology within the Yadkin River Basin, and more specifically, as a TLW within the 2009 Upper Yadkin Pee-Dee RBRP. The Site lends itself to accomplish multiple RBRP goals along Project reaches due to an absence of riparian buffers, cattle access to the stream, and the historic land use, which has led to channelization. Many of the Project design goals and objectives will address major watershed stressors identified in the 2009 RBRP. Project-specific goals and objectives will be addressed further in Section 5. A Project watershed map with the Project’s drainage areas is shown on Figure 2 and watershed planning priority boundaries are shown on Figure 1. The Project will address three of the six goals outlined in the 2009 Upper Yadkin Pee-Dee RBRP. By establishing a conservation easement, water supply watershed (WSW) designated waters will be protected in perpetuity (RBRP Goal 2). Continuation of the project and easement area on DMS’ Hauser Creek and Mockingbird Sites will provide additional protection to Hauser Creek (RBRP Goal 3). Collaborative efforts have been made with local and willing landowners to implement new stream and wetland restoration and enhancement projects within the Turner and Hauser Creeks TLW (03040101160010) (RBRP Goal 4). Establishing riparian buffers, instream structures, and increasing bedform diversity will help address RBRP Goal 1, but achievement will not be quantified. Scout Mitigation Plan 3 September 2018 The land required for the construction, management, and stewardship of this Project includes portions of the following parcels (Table 2 & Figure 3). Once finalized, a copy of the land protection instruments will be included in Appendix C. The Wilmington District Conservation Easement model template will be utilized to draft the site protection instrument. Table 2.

The total drainage area for the Project is 810 acres (1.26 mi2). Primary land use within the rural watershed consists of approximately 49% agriculture, 39% forest, and 8% residential. Impervious area covers approximately two percent of the total watershed (Table 3 & Figure 4). Historic and current land-use within the immediate Project area have allowed cattle access to the streams, but currently there are no cattle in the Project area. These activities have negatively impacted both water quality and streambank stability along the Project streams and their tributaries. The resulting observed stressors include excess nutrient input, streambank erosion, sedimentation, livestock access to streams, channel modification, and the loss of riparian buffers. Table 3. Project Watershed Summary Information Level IV Ecoregion 45b-Southern Outer Piedmont River Basin Yadkin USGS Hydrologic Unit 8-digit 03040101 USGS Hydrologic Unit 14-digit 03040101160010 DWR Sub-basin 03-07-02 Project Drainage Area (acres) 810 Percent Impervious Area 2% Surface Water Classification Hauser Creek has been classified as a Class C and Water Supply-IV classification (WS-IV) (NCDWQ 2011). Waters classified as WSW are water supply watersheds and these classifications protect the water supplies. Water Supply IV (WS-IV) provide water supply for drinking, culinary, or food processing purposes where a WS-I, II, or III classification is not feasible and are generally located in moderately to highly developed watersheds or protected areas. Class C waters are protected for uses such as secondary recreation, fishing, wildlife, fish consumption, aquatic life including propagation, survival and maintenance of biological integrity, and agriculture. Secondary recreation includes wading, boating, and other uses involving human body contact with water where such activities take place in an infrequent, unorganized, or incidental manner (NCDWQ 2011). 3.2 Landscape Characteristics The Project is located in the Southern Outer Piedmont Level IV ecoregion, which is characterized by lower elevations, less relief, and less precipitation than Southern Inner Piedmont, mostly irregular plains rather than the plains with hills of Southern Inner Piedmont and Northern Inner Piedmont. Pine (mostly loblolly and shortleaf) dominates on old field sites and pine plantations, while mixed oak forest is found in less heavily altered areas. Gneiss, schist, and granite are typical rock types, covered with deep saprolite and mostly red, clayey subsoils. Kanhapludults are common soils, such as the Cecil, Appling, and Madison series. Some areas within this region have more alkaline soils, such as the Iredell series, formed over diabase, diorite, or gabbro, and may be associated with areas once known as blackjack oak prairies. Scout Mitigation Plan 5 September 2018 Existing Vegetation Vegetation around the unbuffered reach of Hauser Creek is primarily composed of herbaceous vegetation and scattered trees. In general, these riparian zones are disturbed due to regular land management activities. On April 3, 2018 two 100-meter squared plots were surveyed along the floodplain of Hauser Creek to categorize the existing vegetation community. Forested riparian areas along the majority of Hauser creek and its tributaries have been historically cattle-grazed and lack a well-developed understory and shrub strata. For this reason, representative plots were surveyed along reach HC3 at the downstream end in open canopy and the upstream end near wetland WD (Appendix B). A survey protocol can be found in Appendix B. Within each vegetation plot, all trees greater than or equal to five inches (12.7 centimeters) diameter at breast height (DBH) were identified, measured, and used to calculate both basal area and stems per acre. Trees greater than or equal to 54 inches (137 centimeters) in height were used to quantify tree species diversity. Canopy species data was calculated to quantify the existing natural community (Schafale, 2012) (Table 4). The natural community for Plot 2 was categorized by surrounding canopy species because none were found within the plot. Shrub species and herbaceous species were also identified and the percent cover was estimated. Table 4. Scout Vegetation Plot Summary Plot Basal Area (m2/ha) Avg. DBH (cm) Trees per Acre Total Tree Species Natural Community 1 33.0 25.5 40.5 9 Disturbed Piedmont Alluvial Forest 2 0 0 0 0 Disturbed Piedmont Alluvial Forest AVG 16.5 12.8 20.3 4.5 Dominant canopy species observed included boxelder (Acer negundo), tulip-poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), black walnut (Juglans nigra), sugarberry (Celtis laevigata), honey locust (Gleditisia triacanthos), eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), and American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis). Sub-canopy species included musclewood (Carpinus caroliniana), black elderberry (Sambucus canadensis), and sawtooth blackberry (Rubus argutus). Herbaceous species included common rush (Juncus effusus), sedge (Carex spp.), jewelweed (Impatiens capensis), common blue violet (Viola sororia), onion grass (Allium vineale), Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides), dogfennel (Eupatorium capillifolium), Canada goldenrod (Solidago canadensis), and Carolina geranium (Geranium carolinianum). Invasive species were also found throughout, including multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora), Bradford pear (Pyrus calleryana), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), and Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense). Non-native species included dandelion (Taraxacum spp.), burdock (Arctium spp.), wavy bitter-cress (Cardamine flexuosa), purple deadnettle (Lamium purpureum), and mock strawberry (Duchesnea indica). Existing Wetlands A wetland delineation was performed on October 3, 2017. Wetland boundaries were delineated using current methodology outlined in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory 1987). Soils were characterized and classified using the Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States, Version 7.0 (USDA-NRCS 2010). Within the boundaries of the proposed Project, one jurisdictional wetland is present at the top left bank of HC3 (Appendix F & Figure 5), and is labeled WD (Wetland D). WD is approximately 0.75 acres in size, and a portion of the wetland is present within the easement boundary and connects with the stream channel. Vegetation within the wetland area is predominantly green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), winged elm (Ulmus alata), eastern red cedar, blackberry, multiflora rose, common rush, broom sedge (Carex scoparia), Scout Mitigation Plan 6 September 2018 tearthumb (Persicaria sagittata), dogfennel, Pennsylvania smartweed (Persicaria pensylvanica), and tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea). Outside of the easement and wetland areas, cattle were historically managed and now it is agricultural land. A preliminary jurisdictional determination (PJD) request was sent to the USACE on October 27, 2017 and a final PJD was received on March 26th, 2018 (Appendix F). The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetland Inventory Map (NWI) does not depict any potential wetland areas within the Project (Figure 6). Geology According to geology data from the North Carolina Geologic Survey, published in 1985, the Project is within geologic map unit PzZm, occurring in the Charlotte and Milton Belts. PzZm is associated with intrusive types of rocks, metagabbro, metadiorate, and mafic plutonic-volcanic complexes, formed during the Paleozoic era. Soil Survey The existing soil information from the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) shows the property is located within the Gaston-Mocksville-Mecklenburg soil association. This association is made of gently sloping to steep, well drained soils that have a loamy surface layer and a clayey or loamy subsoil with a low or moderate shrink-swell potential. They formed in material weathered from mafic and intermediate crystalline rocks on uplands. They are found on broad to narrow ridges and side slopes in the northeastern, central, and southwestern parts of the county. The Davie County Soil Survey shows two mapping units across the Project. Map units include six soil series (Figure 7). The soil series found on the Project are described below and summarized in Table 5. Project soils are mapped by the NRCS as Codorus loam, Jackland loam, Mocksville sandy loam, Rasalo fine sandy loam, and Tomlin clay loam on the low-lying depressions and floodplains at the Project. The surrounding upland soils are mapped as Tomlin clay loam and Rasalo fine sandy loam. Codorus loam. This is a very deep, somewhat poorly drained soil that occurs on floodplains in the Piedmont. They formed in recently deposited alluvial materials derived from upland soils, and generally occur on slopes between zero to two percent. Runoff is low and permeability is moderately high to high. Major uses are in cultivation or pasture land. Codorus loam occurs in 92.7% of the easement. Jackland loam. This is a very deep, somewhat poorly drained soil that occurs on floodplains in the Piedmont. They formed from residuum weathered from diorite and/or gabbro and/or diabase and/or gneiss and generally occur on slopes between two to six percent. Runoff is very high and permeability is very slow. Major uses are woodland and some pasture land. Jackland loam occurs in 0.7% of the easement on the eastern bank. Mocksville sandy loam. This is a very deep, well-drained soil that occurs on upland regions of the Piedmont. They formed in residuum from intermediate or mafic metamorphic or igneous rock, and generally occur on slopes between two and 60 percent. Runoff is low to high and permeability is moderate. Major uses are woodland. Mocksville sandy loam occurs in 2.5% of the project easement. Rasalo fine sandy loam. This is a very deep, well-drained soil that occurs on mesic Piedmont uplands. They formed in hornblende gneiss, gabbro, or other mafic crystalline rock, and generally occur on slopes between two to 15 percent. Runoff is slow and permeability is moderately slow to slow. Major Scout Mitigation Plan 7 September 2018 uses are mixed hardwood and pine forest. Rasalo fine sandy loam occurs in 0.5% of the easement on the western bank. Tomlin clay loam. This is a very deep, well-drained soil that occurs on forested uplands of the Piedmont. They formed in residuum from intermingled felsic or intermediate, igneous and high-grade metamorphic rock such as amphibolite, granodiorite, biotite schist, or biotite gneiss, and generally occur on slopes between two to 50 percent. Runoff is very low to high and permeability is moderate. Major uses include cultivated crops, pasture, and forest. Tomlin clay loam occurs in 3.6% of sloped segments along the easement. Table 5.

The agricultural footprint shows minimal change over this time. The area remains in an agricultural community with some neighboring forested property. Several watershed characteristics, such as groundwater, vegetation, surface drainage, and potentially soil parameters have been modified. Soil structure and surface texture have been altered from intensive agricultural operations. The Project and adjacent Mockingbird Site is currently still in agricultural use, mainly pasture or cropland. Cattle historically had full access to the project reaches, and these reaches remain heavily impacted. The tributaries to Hauser Creek have sparse canopy cover. Outside the Project area is also still in agricultural use and remains partially forested. The future land use for the Project, adjacent Mockingbird Site, and downstream Hauser Creek Mitigation Site will include 49.3 acres of conservation easement that will be protected in perpetuity. The combined conservation easements will have 14,605 linear feet of high functioning streams, a minimum 50-foot riparian buffer, and will exclude livestock with fencing or livestock removal. Outside the Project, the area will likely remain in agricultural use. Scout Mitigation Plan 8 September 2018 3.4 Regulatory Considerations and Potential Constraints Property, Boundary, and Utilities The restoration of Hauser Creek will primarily be Priority I restoration. The downstream end of the Hauser Creek restoration must tie-in with the contracted DMS full delivery Mockingbird Site. No overhead or underground easements conflict with the proposed Project. No General Aviation or Commercial airports are located within five miles of the proposed Project. The Project is located within five miles of two privately owned and operated airstrips. One privately owned public-use air transport facility (Sugar Valley Airport) is located approximately four miles south of the Project. While existing mature trees are generally not threatened, a tree survey will be conducted to design the mitigation measures and access to minimize impacts to significant specimen trees. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)/ Hydrologic Trespass According to the North Carolina Floodplain Mapping Information System, the Project includes a mapped FEMA 100-year floodplain (Zone AE, one percent annual chance of flooding) (Figure 9). The design and permitting of the mitigation work will include coordination with the Davie County Floodplain Administrator and permitting a FEMA No-Rise Certification or CLOMR/LOMR. Construction access is not constrained throughout the Project area. No hydrologic trespass will be permitted to adjacent properties upstream or downstream of the Project. The Project can be found on Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) Panel 5842 (map number 3710584200L), effective date 05/18/2009. Environmental Screening and Documentation To ensure that the Project meets environmental screening, scoping letters were sent to the regulatory agencies of the IRT (Appendix H). Threatened and Endangered Species Plants and animals with a federal classification of endangered or threatened are protected under provisions of Sections 7 and 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) database lists one endangered species for Davie County, North Carolina: Michaux’s sumac (Rhus michauxii). The database also lists the northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) as a threatened species. Species and species habitat listed in the USFWS database were inspected during the field investigation to determine whether they occur at the Project. No individual species or habitats were identified on site. Potential impacts to species and habitat off site, downstream, and within the vicinity of the Project were also considered. In addition to the USFWS database, the NC Natural Heritage Program (NHP) GIS database was consulted to determine whether previously cataloged occurrences of protected species are mapped within one mile of the Project. Results from NHP indicated that there are no known occurrences of protected species within a one-mile radius of the Project area. Based on initial site investigations, no impacts to federally protected species are anticipated as a result of the proposed Project. Informal USFWS consultation for Northern long-eared bat (NLEB) may be required if the proposed mitigation project will impact trees. A letter from the USFWS dated January 30, 2018 indicated that no adverse impacts to fish and wildlife are expected as part of the project. Documentation is included in Appendix H. Incidental take of the NLEB is exempt, but the USFWS encourages to avoid tree cutting from May 15 – August 15 if possible. The Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act requires consultation with state fish and wildlife agencies when “waters of any stream or other body of water are proposed or authorized, permitted or licensed to be impounded, diverted…or otherwise controlled or modified.” A letter was sent to the North Carolina Scout Mitigation Plan 9 September 2018 Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) on January 4, 2018 requesting review and comment of possible issues with respect to fish and wildlife resources on the Project. A response was received on January 12, 2018 and NCWRC indicated that there are no records for any listed aquatic species in the vicinity. Cultural Resources A review of North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) GIS Web Service database did not reveal any listed or potentially eligible historic or archeological resources on the proposed Project properties. There are no anticipated impacts from Project activities to state surveyed properties as there are none in the proposed Project vicinity. A letter was sent to SHPO on July 7, 2017 with the prospectus. The letter described the Project and requested a review and comment of potential cultural resources occurring within the vicinity of the Project. SHPO responded on November 7, 2017 stating that there will be no effect on historic resources. Another letter was sent on January 4, 2018 and SHPO responded that this was already covered in the prospectus submittal (Appendix H). Table 6. Regulatory Considerations Regulation Applicable?

Hauser Creek is a FEMA Limited Detailed Studied Stream and is subject to all applicable floodplain development permit requirements. Results of the preliminary data collection are presented in Table 7. In general, all or portions of Reaches HC3, CH1, and CH2 do not function to their full potential (see Stream Quality Assessment Worksheets found in Appendix E). Current conditions demonstrate significant habitat degradation as a result of impacts from agricultural land use, water diversion, and existing impoundments. Most portions of the streams do not access their floodplains as frequently as they naturally would have prior to agricultural operations. In most cases, the riparian buffer is in poor condition where much of the riparian buffer is devoid of trees or shrubs. Habitat along the majority of the restoration reaches is poor in that there is little woody debris or overhanging vegetation for fish cover or protection for other aquatic species. Morphological parameters are located in Appendix B. Scout Mitigation Plan 10 September 2018 Table 7.

Channel characteristics are summarized in Table 7 and Appendix B. Stream determinations have been verified by the USACE (Appendix F). Discharge Estimating flows (discharge) for the Project is difficult due to the channelization and agricultural impacts of the existing streams. Several models, regression equations, and the Piedmont regional curves were used to estimate existing bankfull discharges. Land use and slope were considered when the discharge calculations were developed. All hydraulic and hydrologic analyses are discussed in Section 6.2. Data and analysis of the hydrologic and hydraulic models are included as Appendix B. Existing Channel Morphology Reach HC3 Reach HC3 is a section of Hauser Creek that connects to the upstream end of the contracted DMS Mockingbird Site. The channel flows in a northerly direction towards Spillman Road through cleared pasture with little to no vegetated buffer along the majority of the reach. The reach is 2,484 linear feet. The reach has been straightened and moved from its original location along the valley floor, restricting access to the floodplain and therefore causing downcutting and over-widening. The drainage area for this reach is approximately 1.26 square miles (810 acres). Reach CH1 CH1 has a drainage area of 0.07 square miles (43 acres), and flows east through a cultivated field to a confluence with HC3. The reach is 249 linear feet and has an average slope of 0.031 ft/ft. This E-type channel has an average bankfull cross-sectional area of 2.9 square feet with a width of 4.7 feet and a depth of 0.6 feet. The riparian buffer has a narrow strip of small hardwood and invasive vegetation with a larger culvert at the easement boundary. Reach CH2 CH2 has a drainage area of 0.24 square miles (156 acres), and flows northeast from an impoundment and through a cultivated field to a confluence with HC3. The riparian buffer is almost non-existent with invasive species throughout. The reach begins at the culvert and crossing. The reach is 68 linear feet and has an average slope of 0.0167ft/ft Channel Stability Assessment A modified version of the channel stability assessment method (CSA) provided in “Assessing Stream Channel Stability at Bridges in Physiographic Regions” by Johnson (2006) was used to assess channel stability for the Project’s existing channels. This method may be rapidly applied on a variety of stream types in different physiographic regions having a range of bed and bank materials. Scout Mitigation Plan 11 September 2018 The original channel assessment method was designed to evaluate 13 stability indicators in the field. These parameters are: watershed characteristics (frequency of watershed disturbances such as agricultural activities, urbanization, etc), flow habit, channel pattern, entrenchment/channel confinement, bed material, bar development, presence of obstructions/debris jams, bank soil texture and coherence, average bank angle, bank vegetation/protection, bank cutting, mass wasting/bank failure, and upstream distance to bridge. See Appendix B for a detailed description of the stability indicators. As this method was initially developed to assess stability at bridges, a few minor adjustments were made to remove indicators that contradict stability characteristics of natural channels in favor of providing hydraulic efficiency at bridges. First, the “channel pattern” indicator was altered such that naturally meandering channels scored low as opposed to straightened/engineered channels that are favorable for stability near bridges. Secondly, the last indicator, “upstream distance to bridge”, was removed from the assessment as bridges are not a focus of channel stability for this project. The 12 indicators were then scored in the field, and a rating of excellent, good, fair, or poor was assigned to each project reach based on the total score. The channel assessment results (scores and ratings) for the Project are provided in Table 8. All three Project stream reaches received “Fair” ratings. Most Project streams were observed to have relatively high bank angles and many were found to be actively eroding. All of the channels have been impacted by farming practices or livestock production, and most are slightly entrenched. These characteristics are reflected in the higher channel assessment scores for average bank angle and bank vegetation/protection. Most reaches also scored poorly for watershed characteristics since the surrounding land use is dominated by agriculture activities. Table 8.

The Framework separates stream functions into five categories, ordered into a hierarchy, which communicate the interrelations among functions and illustrate the dependence of higher level functions (biology, physiochemical and geomorphology) on lower level functions (hydrology and hydraulics). Functions that affect the greatest number of other functions are illustrated at the base of the Pyramid, while functions that have the least effect on other functions are illustrated at the top. The Pyramid is illustrated below Chart 1. Chart 1. Stream Functions Framework Fischenich (2006) found that the most critical functions include those that address hydrodynamic processes, sediment transport processes, stream stability and riparian buffer restoration. By addressing these fundamental functions and processes, a restored stream and riparian system are capable of supporting more dependent functions that typically require time to establish, such as diverse biological communities, chemical and nutrient processes, diverse habitats and improved water and soil quality. The objectives of this Project will address the most critical functional objectives that will allow for a more restored stream and riparian buffer over time. While traditional mitigation approaches have generally relied on surrogate measures of success (i.e. linear feet of restoration) for determining SMU credit yields, a function-based approach provides a more objective and flexible approach to quantify the expected ecological benefits of a mitigation Scout Mitigation Plan 14 September 2018 design. Additionally, a functional-based approach broadens the reach-scale goals of a restoration project by contextualizing the functional uplift to the watershed scale. The proposed Project will provide numerous ecological and water quality benefits within the Yadkin River Basin by applying an ecosystem restoration approach. The restoration approach at the reach scale of this Project will have the greatest effect on the hydraulic and geomorphology function of the system but will benefit the upper-level functions (physiochemical and biology) over time and in combination with other Projects within the watershed. Anticipated functional benefits and improvements within the Project area, as based on the Function-Based Framework, are outlined in Table 9. A highly-functioning score means that the function is being met with little to no constraints. A functioning score means that the measurement method is quantifying or describing one or more aspects of a function-based parameter in a way that does support a healthy aquatic ecosystem. Functioning-at- risk means that the measurement method is quantifying or describing one or more aspects of a function- based parameter in a way that can support a healthy aquatic ecosystem. This can indicate the function- based parameter is adjusting in response to changes in the reach or the watershed, and the trend may be towards lower or higher function. A functioning-at-risk score implies that the aspect of the function- based parameter is between functioning and not functioning (Harman et al. 2012). 4.1 Anticipated Functional Benefits and Improvements Hydrology According to the Stream Functions Pyramid Framework, hydrology is defined as the transport of water from the watershed to the channel. Therefore, this project does not intend to make significant improvements to the already functioning hydrology. Mainly, land use within the Project’s catchment area will not be altered outside of the easement area, meaning hydrologic parameters such as reach runoff, flow duration, and discharge will continue to be determined by existing watershed characteristics occurring beyond the boundaries of the Project. Although hydrology will not be majorly affected by the project, restoration design and activities will account for poor watershed conditions and will provide considerable functional uplift through the following functional tiers of the Pyramid. Hydraulic The hydraulic function of the Pyramid is defined as transport of water in the channel, on the floodplain, and through sediments. Perhaps the greatest potential uplift at the Project will be achieved through establishing healthy floodplain connectivity. Reaches in the Project do not have functioning floodplain connectivity or stable flow dynamics. Reaches where floodplain connectivity is not-functioning or functioning-at-risk will be improved to functioning by reducing bank height ratios and increasing entrenchment ratios. Reaches in which stable flow dynamics are not functioning or functioning-at-risk will be improved to functioning by constructing a new channel that is geometrically stable based on the Project’s hydrology inputs. Additionally, instream structures will be installed to address the energy and erosive power of the water so that a stable base flow is achieved post-project. Geomorphology Geomorphology, as defined within the Pyramid Framework, is the transport of wood and sediment to create bed forms and dynamic equilibrium. In reaches that currently function-at-risk or not-functioning, sediment transport will be improved by designing channels that transport sediment to an appropriate place to settle, such as a point bar. Large Woody Debris Transport and Storage will be improved through the use of woody debris such as log vanes, root wads, log weirs, and log toes for in-stream structures on restoration and enhancement I reaches. The restoration reaches will also be designed to accumulate woody debris by having defined shallow riffles where cobble catches and holds woody debris and leaf packs. Riparian vegetation is functioning in some areas but is either functioning-at-risk or not- Scout Mitigation Plan 15 September 2018 functioning on most reaches. Therefore, riparian buffers will be planted out to a minimum of 50 feet to improve the riparian vegetation to functioning levels. Bed form diversity will be improved in restoration areas by using a natural riffle-pool sequence from the reference reach to inform design of functioning riffle pool sequences in constructed channels based on reference reach conditions. This bed form diversity will also further improve aquatic habitat. All of these functional parameters are interconnected and ultimately depend on each other in order to function properly. Therefore, by focusing on improvements to these parameters, the restored channels will achieve dynamic equilibrium and provide maximum geomorphic functional uplift. Physiochemical The Pyramid Framework defines the physicochemical category as temperature and oxygen regulation and the processing of organic matter and nutrients. Although this project would support the overarching goal in the Yadkin Pee-Dee River Basin Priorities to promote nutrient and sediment reduction in agricultural areas, it is difficult to measure nutrient and sediment reduction at this project level because they can be affected by so many variables. However, several restoration actions are known to help reduce nutrients and sediment, even though they may not be measurable at the project level. These activities include filtering of runoff through buffer areas, the conversion of active farm fields to forested buffers, and improved denitrification and nutrient uptake through buffer zones. Additional benefits may also come from functional uplift of the lower level stream functions (hydraulics and geomorphology), which will reduce sediment and nutrients in the system through bank stabilization and reforesting. Temperature regulation will also be improved through the restoration of canopy tree species to the stream buffer areas. Oxygen regulation will occur through two actions: first, the temperature of the water directly impacts the amount of gas held by the water. Therefore, through planting the buffer to shade the channel, the temperature is decreased and dissolved oxygen is increased. Second, the log structures placed in the stream create mixing zones where oxygen dissolves much faster into the water than oxygen diffusion in calm conditions. The processing of organic matter will be improved once healthy riffles are shallow enough to catch twigs and branches that then retain leaves. Many of these physiochemical benefits occur slowly over time and are dependent on multiple variables within the stream ecosystem. Therefore, it is not practical or feasible to directly measure these parameters within the monitoring time-frame of this project. With that said, it is logical to use existing riparian buffer and visual performance standards to demonstrate the positive correlation between geomorphic parameters and physicochemical parameters. For example, as riparian buffer trees grow, as represented in annual monitoring reports, it is anticipated that canopy cover is actively shading the stream channel and reducing water temperature. This is not a substitute for direct physicochemical monitoring, but it is a useful tool to help project the long-term benefits of the Project in terms of its functional uplift. Biology The highest category of the Pyramid is biology and is defined as the biodiversity and life histories of aquatic and terrestrial life, specifically referring to animals. As mentioned for the physiochemical stream function, it will be difficult to measure the functional uplift of the biological functions at this site within the monitoring period of the project. However, since the life histories of many species likely to benefit from stream and wetland restoration are depending on all the lower-level functions, the functional uplift from the hydraulic and geomorphic levels would have a positive effect to the biology over time and in combination with other projects within the watershed is anticipated. Again, there is no substitute for direct biological monitoring, but it is important to understand the hierarchy of the Stream Functions Pyramid Framework in order to help project the long-term benefits of the Project, though only the hydraulic and geomorphology objectives will be directly measured during the seven-year monitoring period. Scout Mitigation Plan 16 September 2018 5 MITIGATION PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES Through the comprehensive analysis of the Project’s maximum functional uplift using the Stream Functions Pyramid Framework, specific, attainable goals and objectives will be realized by the Project. These goals clearly address the degraded water quality and nutrient input from farming that were identified as major watershed stressors in the 2009 Upper Yadkin Pee-Dee River RBRP. The Project will address outlined RBRP Goals 2, 3, and 4 (listed in Section 2). The Project goals are: • Improve water transport from watershed to the channel in a non-erosive manner in a stable channel; • Improve flood flow attenuation on site and downstream by allowing for overbanks flows and connection to the active floodplain; • Improve instream habitat; • Restore and enhance native floodplain vegetation; and • Indirectly support the goals of the 2009 Upper Yadkin Pee-Dee RBRP to improve water quality and to reduce sediment and nutrient loads. The Project objectives to address the goals are: • Design and reconstruct stable stream channels with appropriate pattern, dimension, and profile based on reference reach conditions; • Add in-stream structures and bank stabilization measures to protect restored and enhanced streams; • Install habitat features such as brush toes, constructed riffles, woody materials, and pools of varying depths to restored and enhanced streams; • Reduce bank height ratios and increase entrenchment ratios to reference reach conditions; • Increase forested riparian buffers to at least 50 feet on both sides of the channel along the project reaches with a hardwood riparian plant community; • Treat exotic invasive species; • Establish a permanent conservation easement on the Project that will exclude future livestock from stream channels and their associated buffers. Anticipated functional uplift, benefits, and improvements within the Project area, as based on the Function Based Framework are outlined in Table 9. Limitations to achieving these watershed goals arise by remaining constrained to the project boundaries. While we are restoring the habitat and streams to stable and effective conditions that achieve our goals within the Project parcels, we are unable to influence the effect of poor riparian buffers and livestock impact in other areas within the watershed. However, through this Project’s connectivity with other projects in the watershed, especially its close proximity to the DMS Mockingbird and Hauser Creek Sites, and responsible stewardship of current restoration projects, overall watershed functionality and health will improve to meet the RBRP goals.

Portions of the Project were historically diverted to form poorly-functioning stream channels. Physical parameters of the Project were used, as well as other reference materials, to determine the target stream type. The “Classification of the Natural Communities of North Carolina” was also used to narrow the potential community types that would have existed at the Project (Schafale, 2012). An iterative process was used to develop the final information for the Project design. Targeted reference conditions included the following: • Located within the Physiographic Region and ecoregion, • Similar watershed size, • Similar land use on site and in the watershed, • Similar soil types on site and in the watershed, • Ideal, undisturbed habitat – several types of woody debris present, • Similar topography, • Similar slope, • Pattern common among Piedmont streams, and • Minimal presence of invasive species. Obtaining property owner information and owner authorization for access was another factor in locating suitable reference sites for the Project. There was no predetermined amount of reference sites needed as long as the site was suitable and met the parameters. Many streams in this watershed are impacted by cattle and agricultural practices, having a minimal riparian buffer, making it difficult to find an ideal reference for the Project site. A reference stream site that proves to be ideal in both geomorphology and habitat is located along an unnamed tributary (UT) to Grassy Creek in Union County, NC. This stream site is ideal in both geomorphology and size for this portion of Hauser Creek and its unnamed, first- order tributaries. Reference Watershed Characterization UT to Grassy Creek, is located within the Yadkin Pee-Dee River Basin in Union County. This reach is 318 feet in length, with a drainage area of 0.67 square miles (426 acres). The surrounding land use in the watershed is characterized by mostly agriculture, with mixed pines and hardwoods, and a small amount of residential. Reference Discharge Several hydrologic models/methods were used to develop a bankfull discharge for the reference site. Existing drainage area, land use, slope, roughness, and cross-sectional area were all factors considered when performing the calculations. Using a combination of Piedmont Regional Curves, in-house spreadsheet tools, and a project specific regional flood frequency analysis; the existing discharge for UT to Grassy Creek was calculated to be approximately 50 cubic feet per second (ft3/s). See Section 6.2 for a more detailed description of the hydrologic analyses performed for this project. Reference Channel Morphology Reference reach UT to Grassy Creek is smaller than the restoration reach HC3, when comparing flow, pattern, dimension and profile, which is the reason scaling is used for the design. The scaling factor is a ratio between the design bankfull top width and the reference reach bankfull top width. The design Scout Mitigation Plan 19 September 2018 bankfull cross sectional area is adjusted to convey the determined design flow. Comparing the widths and applying the scaling factor ratio, the designed reach would then have the necessary dimensions of either a smaller or larger stream corresponding to differences in drainage area. The UT to Grassy Creek reach was typically 13.6 feet wide and 1.4 feet deep. The cross sectional area was around 18.1 square feet with a width to depth ratio around 9.8. Restoration reach HC3 is determined to convey 90 cubic feet/second (ft3/s) with 35.2 square feet of cross sectional area, resulting in 18.4 feet wide and 1.9 feet deep. The scaling factor ratio therefore is 1.2. Reference Channel Stability Assessment The UT to Grassy Creek reference reach is stable and shows no evidence of incision or erosion in the portion that was surveyed and analyzed. The stream appears to maintain its slope and has sufficient amounts of vegetation to secure its banks. Riparian buffer widths exceed 50 feet on each side. The reference reach received a “Good” rating as the channel demonstrates a stable meandering pattern and a well-vegetated riparian buffer. Reference Bankfull Verification Typical indicators of bankfull include vegetation at the bankfull elevation, scour lines, wrack lines, vegetation lines, benches/inner berm, and point bars. Throughout the entire length of the reference reach, bankfull is located at the top of bank elevation. The accuracy of this bankfull stage is verified by the Piedmont Regional Curves and hydrologic analyses using existing cross sections to calculate area and discharge. Evidence that can further support the location of bankfull is the lack of any bench or berm features within the channel, and wrack lines present within the floodplain. Reference Riparian Vegetation The UT to Grassy Creek reference reach riparian community is characteristic of a Mesic Mixed Hardwood Forest (Piedmont Subtype). This community is approximately 20 to 25 years old, as evidenced by the representative DBH measurements and historical aerial photography. On April 3, 2018, two 100m2 plots were surveyed using the same protocol described in Section 3.2. Basal areas for the plots were 12.5m2/ha and 49.6m2/ha and stems per acre was 81 for both plots. Percent coverage over the channel ranges from 70-90 percent with average DBH ranging from four to 12 inches. Descriptions of the dominant species can be found in Section 6.3. It is anticipated that a local seed source for high dispersal species is present upstream at the Project and will disperse across much of the Project area. These species are often found in early successional communities and quickly fill disturbance gaps. Because many of these high dispersal species often become aggressive in these sites, they are not included in the Restoration Planting List (Section 6.3). Hardwood species typical of the target community were observed in adjacent and nearby communities, and were judged to be more appropriate for this site. 6.2 Design Parameters Stream Restoration Approach Stream restoration efforts along the tributaries of the Project will be accomplished through analyses of geomorphic conditions and watershed characteristics. The design approach applies a combination of analytical and reference reach based design methods that meet objectives commensurate with both ecological and geomorphic improvements. Proposed treatment activities may range from minor bank grading and planting to re-establishing stable planform and hydraulic geometry. For reaches requiring full restoration, natural design concepts have been applied and verified through rigorous engineering analyses and modeling. The objective of this approach is to design a geomorphically stable channel that provides habitat improvements and ties into the existing landscape. Scout Mitigation Plan 20 September 2018 The Project will include Priority I Restoration and Enhancement Level II. Stream restoration will incorporate the design of a single-thread meandering channel, with parameters based on data taken from reference sites, published empirical relationships, regional curves developed from existing project streams, and NC Regional Curves. Analytical design techniques will also be a crucial element of the project and will be used to determine the design discharge and to verify the design as a whole. A concept design map is provided in Figure 10. Current stream conditions along the proposed restoration reaches exhibit habitat degradation as a result of historic impacts from livestock and channelization performed to promote agricultural and residential activities. Additionally, the riparian buffer is in poor condition throughout most of the Project area where much of the riparian buffer is devoid of trees or shrubs and active pasture or maintained field is present up to the edge of the existing channel. The Project design approach began with a thorough study of existing conditions, including the onsite streams, valleys, and watershed. Design parameters, including active channel, habitat and floodplain features were developed from analyses performed on the reference site data. Analytical design techniques were used to determine the design discharge and to verify the design as a whole. Engineering analysis will be performed using various hydrologic and hydraulic models to verify the reference reach based design. A combination of methods will be used to estimate bankfull flows, and flows corresponding to other significant storm events. A HEC-RAS model will then be used to simulate water surface elevations of flows generated by the hydrologic analysis. The development of the HEC model is an important component to the design; therefore, model input parameters are field verified when possible. Through this hydrologic analysis, the design discharge (typically referenced as bankfull or dominant discharge) will be determined. The subsequent design will be based on this calculated discharge. As part of the design process, a qualitative analysis of sediment supply will be performed by characterizing watershed conditions. A combination of windshield surveys, existing land use data, and historical aerial photography, followed up by ground truthing, will be analyzed to assess existing and past watershed conditions and to determine if any changes occurred that would significantly impact sediment supply. Design parameters developed through the analyses of reference reach data, watershed characterizations, and hydrologic and hydraulic modeling will be confirmed using the Stable Channel Design function and/or the Sediment Transport Analysis components within HEC-RAS in conjunction with shear stress and velocity analyses. Geomorphic and habitat studies will be performed concurrently with the engineering analyses. While stream design will be verified by simulations of hydrology and fluvial processes, analogs of desirable habitat features will be derived from reference sites and integrated into the project design. Both in- stream and riparian habitat features will be designed. In-stream structures will be used throughout the project to act as grade control and for bank stabilization by dissipating and redirecting the stream’s energy. Bank stability may further be enhanced through the installation of brush mattresses, live stakes and cuttings bundles. Sections of abandoned stream channel will be backfilled with material excavated from on-site to the elevation of the floodplain in areas adjacent to the new channel, installing channel plugs where necessary. The floodplain will be planted with native species creating a vegetated buffer, which will provide numerous water quality and ecological benefits. Stream banks will be stabilized using a combination of grading, erosion control matting, bare-root plantings, native material revetment techniques (i.e., bioengineering), structure placement, and sod transplants where possible. The stream and adjacent riparian areas will be protected by a minimum 50-foot conservation easement which will be fenced to exclude livestock as needed. Scout Mitigation Plan 21 September 2018 The Project has been broken into the following design reaches: Reach HC3 – This reach begins on the south end of the project and flows north towards the Mockingbird Mitigation Site, transitioning off site through a proposed 24 LF of 48-inch double barrel RCP at a 40-foot-wide conservation easement break. This is the main reach of the project and is proposed to restore 2,686 LF. Sparse woodland and actively managed pasture is located adjacent to the reach. Restoration activities will include constructing a new channel within the natural valley with appropriate dimensions and pattern and backfilling the abandoned channel. In-stream structures such as log sills, brush toes, rock cross vanes, and log vanes will be installed for stability and to improve habitat. Habitat will further be improved through buffer plantings. Proposed buffer activities will improve riparian areas that will filter runoff from adjacent pastures, thereby reducing nutrient and sediment loads to the channel. A hunting blind near the northern portion of the reach will be removed, as well as an existing crossing. Reach CH1 – This reach is a tributary on the western side of HC3 and flows east. This reach totals 348 linear feet of Enhancement II. Sparse woodland and actively managed pasture is located adjacent to the reach. Enhancement activities will include improving habitat through supplemental buffer plantings. The widening and restoration of the riparian areas along the left bank will filter runoff from adjacent pasture, reduce sediment loads, and provide wildlife corridors throughout the Project area. Reach CH2 – This reach is a tributary on the western side of HC3 and flows east. This reach totals 110 linear feet of Enhancement II. Sparse woodland and actively managed pasture is located adjacent to the reach. Enhancement activities will include improving habitat through supplemental buffer plantings. The widening and restoration of the riparian areas along the left bank will filter runoff from adjacent pasture, reduce sediment loads, and provide wildlife corridors throughout the Project area. Design Discharge Based upon the hydrologic analyses listed below, the design discharge was selected that fell between model results for the 1-year and 2-year Hydraflow Hydrographs, close to the 1.1-year flood frequency analysis for reach HC3, and similar to the existing conditions cross section conveyance at the bankfull indicators. The selected flow for the restoration reach is 90 ft3/s for HC3. This discharge will provide frequent inundation of the adjacent floodplain. The design discharge was selected based on the following calculated bankfull discharge: • The flood frequency analysis (1.1-year and 1.5-year), • USGS regional regression curves, • The NC regional curve (Doll et al., 2002), and • Hydraflow Hydrographs. Design Methods There are three primary methods that have demonstrated success in stream restoration: analog, empirical, and analytical. All three methods have advantages and limitations, and it is often best to utilize more than one method to address site-specific conditions or to verify the applicability of design elements. This is particularly true in developed watersheds where existing conditions do not always reflect current inputs and events, and sediment and hydrologic inputs may remain unstable for some time. Combinations of analytical and analog methods were used to develop the stream designs for the Project. Scout Mitigation Plan 22 September 2018 Analytical Approach Analytical design is based on principles and processes considered universal to all streams, and can entail many traditional engineering techniques. The analytical approach utilizes continuity, roughness equations, hydrologic and hydraulic models, and sediment transport functions to derive equilibrium conditions. Since the project is located within a rural watershed, restoration designs are based on hydrologic and hydraulic analyses, including rainfall-runoff models to determine design discharges coupled with reference reach techniques. Analog Approach The analog method of natural channel design involves the use of a “template” or reference stream located near the design reach, and is particularly useful when watershed and boundary conditions are similar between the design and analog reaches (Skidmore et al., 2001). In an analog approach, the planform pattern, cross sectional shape, longitudinal profile, and frequency and locations of woody debris along the analog reaches are mimicked when developing the design parameters for the subject stream. 1. The appropriate bankfull cross sectional area (CSA) of the design reach was calculated using an in-house spreadsheet based on Manning’s Equation. The input parameters included the design discharge as determined by the hydrologic analysis described above, and proposed slope based on site conditions and the sinuosity measured for the analog reach. 2. The cross-sectional shape was adjusted within the spreadsheet to replicate the width-depth ratios and side slopes surveyed along the analog reach, while also maintaining the CSA necessary to convey the design discharge. 3. The scaling factor is determined from the ratio of the design topwidth to the analog topwidth (Table 10). For this project, several cross sections and planform geometry were measured at the analog site, resulting in an average width of 18.4 feet for HC3. 4. Pool cross sectional areas were calculated using both typical reference reach techniques and the analog approach. Design CSAs were determined using the measured analog ratios of riffle CSA to pool CSA as applied to the design CSA. The pool cross sectional shape was adjusted within the in-house spreadsheet as described above in step 2. Table 10. Scaling Factors for Sizing Planform Design Parameters Reach Drainage Area (ac) Proposed Bankfull CSA (ft2) Design Topwidth (ft) Analog Reach Topwidth (ft) Scaling Factor HC3 810 35.2 18.4 13.6 1.35 Typical Design Sections Typical cross sections for riffles and pools are shown on the design plan sheets in Appendix A. The cross section dimensions were developed for the one design reach by using an in-house spreadsheet. The cross sections were altered slightly to facilitate constructability; however, the cross sectional area, width to depth ratio, and side slopes were preserved. Typical pool sections include pools located on straight reaches and pools on meander bends. Meander Pattern The design plans showing the proposed channel alignment are provided in Appendix A. The meander pattern was derived directly from the analog reach and was altered in some locations to provide Scout Mitigation Plan 23 September 2018 variability in pattern, to avoid on-site constraints, to follow the valley pattern, and to make the channel more constructible. The morphologic parameters summarized in the Appendix B were applied wherever these deviations occurred. Longitudinal Profiles The design profiles are presented in Appendix A. These profiles extend throughout the entire project for the proposed channel alignment. The profiles were designed using the analog reach bed features that were sized with the scaling factors. The bed slopes and bankfull energy gradients were determined for each design reach based on the existing valley slope and the sinuosity of the design reach. Log structures will be utilized in the design to control grade, divert flows, and provide additional habitat diversity and stability. In-Stream Structures Structures will be incorporated into the channel design to provide additional stability and improve aquatic habitat. Native materials and vegetation will be used for revetments and grade control structures where applicable. Additionally, rock structures will be utilized intermittently along reach HC3 to provide increased stability and habitat. Typical structures that will protect the channel bed and/or banks will include log sills and cross-vanes. Woody debris will be placed throughout the channel at locations and at a frequency that is similar to those observed in the analog reaches. Woody habitat features installed will include dead brush, root wads, brush toes, and log vanes. To provide additional bank stability, sod mats harvested on site will be installed along stream banks during construction if and when feasible. Sod mats will only be harvested and used if comprised of appropriate vegetation. The use of sod mats that include aggressive turf grasses will be avoided. Sod mats are natural sections of vegetation taken from the banks when they were cut during construction, and are about nine inches thick. Before installation, proposed banks are graded lower than specified to accommodate the thickness of the mat. The mats are placed on top of the bank to act as a natural stabilizer of native species, and they grow much faster than the combination of coir fiber matting and seeding. Other bank stability measures include the installation of live stakes, log sills, brush toes, log vanes, and log toes. Typical details for proposed in-stream structures and revetments are in Appendix A. Data Analysis Stream Hydrologic Analysis Hydrologic evaluations were performed for the design reaches using multiple methods to determine and validate the design bankfull discharge and channel geometry required to provide regular floodplain inundation. The use of various methods allows for comparison of results and eliminates reliance on a single model. Peak flows (Table 11) and corresponding channel cross-sectional areas were determined for comparison to design parameters using the following methods: • Regional Flood Frequency Analysis, • AutoCAD’s Hydraflow Hydrographs, • NC and VA Regional Curves for the Rural Piedmont, and • USGS regional regression equations for rural conditions in the Blue Ridge-Piedmont. Regional Flood Frequency Analysis A flood frequency analysis was completed for the study region using historic gauge data on all nearby USGS gauges with drainage areas less than 6,400 acres (10 mi2) which passed the Dalrymple homogeneity test (Dalrymple, 1960). This is a subset of gauges used for USGS regression equations. Regional flood frequency equations were developed for the 1.1-, 1.5-, and 2-year peak discharges based Scout Mitigation Plan 24 September 2018 on the gauge data. Discharges were then computed for the design reach. These discharges were compared to those predicted by the discharge regional curve and USGS regional regression 2-year discharge equations. Regional Curve Regression Equations The North Carolina Piedmont regional curves by Harman et al. (1999) and Doll et al. (2002) and the Virginia Rural Piedmont regional curves by Lotspeich (2009) for discharge were used to predict the bankfull discharge for the Project. The NC regional curves predicted flows that are similar to those predicted by the 1.1-year flood frequency, while the VA curve is comparable to half the flow predicted by the 1.1-year flood frequency equation. The regional curve equations for NC and VA discharges: (1) Qbkf=89.04*(DA)0.73 (Harman et al., 1999) (2) Qbkf=91.62*(DA)0.71 (Doll et al., 2002) (3) Qbkf= 43.895*(DA)0.9472 (Lotspeich, 2009) Where Qbkf=bankfull discharge (ft3/s) and DA=drainage area (mi2). USGS Regional Regression Equations USGS regression equations estimate the magnitude and frequency of flood-peak discharges. The regression equations were developed from gauge data in different physiographic regions of the Southeastern United States and are appropriate for drainage areas between one and 9000 miles squared. For this analysis, there was only concern for the 2-year return interval. The equation for the rural Piedmont/Foothills (Hydrologic Region 1) (4) is: (4) Q2=158*(DA)0.649 (Weaver et al, 2009) Table 11.

Q2 (4) Design/ Calculated Q HC3 810 95 154 108 106 55 184 90 Sediment Transport Analysis An erosion and sedimentation analysis was performed to confirm that the restoration design creates a stable sand and gravel bed channel that neither aggrades nor degrades over time. Typically, sediment transport is assessed to determine a stream’s ability to move a specific grain size at specified flows. Various sediment transport equations are applied when estimating entrainment for sand and gravel bed streams found in the Piedmont. The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) report, Stability Thresholds for Stream Restoration Materials (Fischenich, 2001), was used to obtain permissible shear stresses and velocities. Data found in this document was obtained from multiple sources using different testing conditions. The following methods and published documents were utilized during the sediment transport analysis: • Permissible Shear Stress Approach, and • Permissible Velocity Approach. Shear Stress Approach Shear stress is a commonly used tool for assessing channel stability. Allowable channel shear stresses are a function of bed slope, channel shape, flows, bed material (shape, size, and gradation), Scout Mitigation Plan 25 September 2018 cohesiveness of bank materials, vegetative cover, and incoming sediment load. The shear stress approach compares calculated shear stresses to those found in the literature. Shear stress is the force exerted on a boundary during the resistance of motion as calculated using the following formula: (1) τ = γRS τ = shear stress (lb/ft2) γ = specific gravity of water (62.4 lb/ft3) R = hydraulic radius (ft) S = average channel slope (ft/ft) Table 12. Comparison of Permissible and Proposed Shear Stresses Reach Proposed Shear Stress at Bankfull Stage (lbs/ft2) Critical Shear Stress (lbs/ft2) Permissible Shear Stress1 Sand/Silt/Clay (lbs/ft2) Coarse Gravel (lbs/ft2) Vegetation (lbs/ft2) HC3 0.39 >0.54 0.03 to 0.26 0.33 to 0.67 0.7 to 1.7 1(Fischenich, 2001) Review of the above table shows that the proposed shear stresses for the Scout design reaches fall between the critical shear stress (shear stress required to initiate motion) and the allowable limits. Therefore, the proposed channel should remain stable. Velocity Approach Published data are readily available that provide entrainment velocities for different bed and bank materials. A comparison of calculated velocities to these permissible velocities is a simple method to aid in the verification of channel stability. Table 13 compares the proposed velocities calculated using Manning’s equation with the permissible velocities. Table 13. Comparison of Allowable and Proposed Velocities Reach Manning’s “n” Value Design Velocity (ft/s) Bed Material Permissible Velocity1 (ft/sec) HC3 0.05 2.5 Sand to coarse gravel 1.75 - 6.0 1(Fischenich, 2001) Sediment Supply In addition to the stability assessment, a qualitative analysis of sediment supply was performed by characterizing watershed conditions. A combination of field reconnaissance and windshield surveys, existing land use data, and historical aerial photography were analyzed to assess existing and past watershed conditions to determine if any changes occurred that would significantly impact sediment supply. As discussed in Section 3.3, the land use throughout the site has changed little since 1960. Much of the project area has been used primarily for agricultural purposes over the past 50 years. Most of the existing stream channels are unbuffered. Land use has remained relatively constant within this rural watershed, and significant land disturbing activities are not anticipated for the future. There are several areas of instability and erosion along the channels, which appear to be a result of historic cattle activity and agricultural activities occurring up to and along channel banks and not from watershed activities. It is anticipated that sediment supply from agricultural land adjacent to the project will decrease as buffers are enhanced and widened, and flow from existing agricultural ditches will be diffused before entering the proposed channel. Scout Mitigation Plan 26 September 2018 Since little deposition or degradation (scour) was observed along the restoration reach, it appears that the channel is able to effectively move the sediment supplied from the surrounding watershed. Because observed areas of degradation can be attributed to farming practices adjacent to the channel and not watershed activities, a threshold channel design approach was used. This approach assumes minimal movement (vertical or lateral migration) of the channel boundary during design flow conditions, and that the channel is not sensitive to sediment supply. Additionally, grade controls have been integrated throughout the design to provide vertical stability in the event scour should occur. 6.3 Vegetation and Planting Plan Plant Community Restoration The restoration of the plant communities is an important aspect of the restoration Project. The selection of plant species is based on what was observed at the reference reach, species present in the forest surrounding the restoration Project, and what is typically native to the area. Several sources of information were used to determine the most appropriate species for the restoration project. A nearby tributary “UT to Hauser Creek” is used as a vegetation community reference due to close proximity to the Project. The reference stream is located within a disturbed Piedmont Alluvial Forest. On April 3, 2018, two 100m2 plots were surveyed using the same protocol described in Section 3.2. Basal areas for the plots were 12.5m2/ha and 49.6m2/ha and stems per acre was 81 for both plots. Dominant canopy species across the reference reach included sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), tulip-poplar, American beech (Fagas grandifolia), pignut hickory (Carya glabra), eastern redcedar, green ash, red maple (Acer rubrum), and boxelder. Sub-canopy species included musclewood (Carpinus caroliniana), sourwood (Oxydendron arboreum), and sawtooth blackberry. Herbaceous species included cranefly orchid (Tipularia discolor), Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides), rattlesnake fern (Botrypus virginianus), woodsorrel (Oxalis stricta), perfoliate bellwort (Uvularia perfoliata), partridgeberry (Mitchella repens), hairy solomon’s seal (Polygonatum pubescens), round leaved greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia), strawberry bush (Euonymus americanus), common blue violet (Viola sororia), downy yellow violet (Viola pubescens), bedstraw (Galium aparine), white avens (Geum canadense), rue anemone (Thalictrum thalictroides), tall hairy agrimony (Agrimonia gryposepala), mayapple (Podophyllum peltatum), and sedge (Carex sp.). Invasive species were also found within the vegetation survey plots and in the vicinity of the reach, including: multiflora rose and Japanese honeysuckle. Non-native species included Japanese stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum), common chickweed (Stellaria media), buttercup (Ranunculus sp.), wooly mullein (Verbascum thapsus), and onion grass. A Piedmont Alluvial Forest will be the target community along Hauser Creek and the two unnamed tributaries flowing east into Hauser Creek and will be established to include a diverse mix of species. The target community will be used for the planting areas within the Project, shown in Appendix A. The plant species list has been developed and can be found in Table 14. Species with high dispersal rates are not included because of local occurrence, adjacent seed sources, and the high potential for natural regeneration. The high dispersal species include red maple and sweetgum. The restoration of plant communities along the Project will provide stabilization and diversity. For rapid stabilization of the stream banks (primarily outside meanders), silky dogwood (Cornus amomum) and black willow (Salix nigra) were chosen for live stakes along the restored channel because of their rapid growth patterns and high success rates. Willows grow at a faster rate than the species planted around them, and they stabilize the stream banks. Willows will also be quicker to contribute organic matter to the channel. When the other species are bigger, the black willows will slowly stop growing or die out because the other species would outgrow them and create shade that the willows do not Scout Mitigation Plan 27 September 2018 tolerate. The live stake species will be planted along the outside of the meander bends three feet from the top of bank, creating a three-foot section along the top of bank. The live stakes will be spaced one per linear foot with alternate spacing vertically. Table 14.

Invasive species will require different and multiple treatment methods, depending on plant phenology and the location of the species being treated (Appendix G). All treatment will be conducted as to maximize its effectiveness and reduce chances of detriment to surrounding native vegetation. Treatment methods will include mechanical (cutting with loppers, clippers, or chain saw) and chemical (foliar spray, cut stump, and hack and squirt techniques). Plants containing mature, viable seeds will be removed from the Project and properly disposed. All herbicide applicators will be supervised by a certified ground pesticide applicator with a North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (NCDA&CS) license and adhere to all legal and safety requirements according to herbicide labels, and NC and Federal laws. Management records will be kept on the plant species treated, type of treatment employed, type of herbicide used, application technique, and herbicide concentration and quantities used. These records will be included in all reporting documents. Soil Restoration After construction activities, the subsoil will be scarified and any compaction will be deep tilled before the topsoil is placed back over the Project. Any topsoil that is removed during construction will be stockpiled and placed over the Project during final soil preparation. This process should provide favorable soil conditions for plant growth. Rapid establishment of vegetation will provide natural stabilization for the Project. Scout Mitigation Plan 28 September 2018 6.4 Mitigation Summary Natural channel design techniques have been used to develop the restoration designs described in this document. The combination of the analog and analytical design methods was determined to be appropriate for this project because the watershed is rural, the causes of disturbance are known and have been abated, and there are minimal infrastructure constraints. The original design parameters were developed from the measured analog/reference reach data and applied to the subject stream. The parameters were then analyzed and adjusted through an iterative process using analytical tools and numerical simulations of fluvial processes. The design presented in this report provides for the restoration of natural Piedmont sand/gravel-bed channel features and stream bed diversity to improve benthic habitat. The proposed design will allow flow that exceed the design bankfull stage to spread out over the floodplain. A large portion of the existing stream will be filled using material excavated from the restoration channel. However, many segments will be left partially filled to provide habitat diversity and flood storage. Native woody material will be installed throughout the restored reach to reduce bank stress, provide grade control, and increase habitat diversity. Forested riparian buffers of at least 50 feet on both sides of the channel will be established along the project reach. An appropriate riparian plant community (Piedmont Alluvial Forest along HC3, CH1 and CH2) will be established to include a diverse mix of species within the Project. The plant species list has been developed and can be found in Table 14. Replanting of native species will occur where the existing buffer is impacted during construction. Due to the nature of the project, complete avoidance of stream and wetland impacts is not possible. Proposed stream impacts, including stream relocation, will be replaced on site. Wetland impacts associated with restoration and enhancement efforts will only temporarily impact wetlands and will provide an overall increase in wetland function with the addition of native trees and shrubs along the stream banks, and restored hydrology. All stream impacts will be accounted for in the Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) form. Scout Mitigation Plan 29 September 2018 6.5 Determination of Credits Mitigation credits presented in Table 15 are projections based upon site design (Figure 10). Upon completion of site construction, the project components and credits data will only be revised to be consistent with the as-built condition if there is a large discrepancy and with an approved mitigation plan addendum. This will be approved by the USACE. Table 15.

A detailed description of the methodology and calculations is described below and in Figure(s) 11. 6.6 Credit Calculations for Non-Standard Buffer Widths Buffer measurements for additional credit were made horizontally, beginning from the edge of the wetted perimeter and extending to easement boundary. Due to the minimum required widths, additional credit was not generated until a stream is at least 50 feet inside the edge of the buffer. Table 16 describes the adjustments in stream credit based on buffer widths. Areas within the project that are being used to generate additional credit are solely being used for the generation of stream mitigation credits, and will not be used for the generation of any other credit type (i.e., the same square foot of buffer cannot be used to generate wetland credit, nutrient offset credits or state buffer credits).

To perform this calculation GIS analysis was performed to determine the area (in square feet) of ideal buffer zones and actual buffer zones around all streams within the project. Minimum standard buffer widths are measured from the top of bank (50 feet in Piedmont and Coastal Plain counties or 30 feet in mountain counties) and are not included in the ideal and actual buffer calculations. The ideal buffers are the maximum potential size (in square feet) of each buffer zone measured around all creditable stream reaches, calculated using GIS, including areas outside of the easement. The actual buffer is the square feet in each buffer zone, as measured by GIS, excluding non-forested areas, all other credit type (e.g., wetland, nutrient offset, buffer), easement exceptions, open water, areas failing to meet the vegetation performance standard, etc. Additional credit is given to 150 feet in buffer width, so areas within the easement that are more than 150 feet from creditable streams were not included in this measurement. Non-creditable stream reaches within the easement are removed prior to calculating this area with GIS (for both ideal and actual). The stream lengths, mitigation type, ideal buffer, and actual buffer are all entered into the calculator. This is data is processed, and the resulting credit amounts are totaled for the whole project (Table 15, Figure 11). Scout Mitigation Plan 31 September 2018 7 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS The success criteria for the Project will follow accepted and approved success criteria presented in the 2016 USACE Wilmington District Stream and Wetland Compensatory Mitigation Update and subsequent agency guidance. Specific success criteria components are presented below. 7.1 Stream Restoration Success Criteria Bankfull Events Four bankfull flow events must be documented within the seven-year monitoring period. The bankfull events must occur in separate years. Otherwise, the stream monitoring will continue until four bankfull events have been documented in separate years. Cross Sections There should be little change in as-built cross sections. If changes do take place, they should be evaluated to determine if they represent a movement toward a less stable condition (for example down- cutting or erosion), or are minor changes that represent an increase in stability (for example settling, vegetative changes, deposition along the banks, or decrease in width/depth ratio). Cross sections shall be classified using the Rosgen stream classification method, and all monitored cross sections should fall within the quantitative parameters defined for channels of the design stream type. Bank height ratio shall not exceed 1.2, and the entrenchment ratio shall be no less than 1.4 within restored reaches. Channel stability should be demonstrated through a minimum of four bankfull events documented in the seven-year monitoring period. Digital Image Stations Digital images will be used to subjectively evaluate channel aggradation or degradation, bank erosion, success of riparian vegetation, and effectiveness of erosion control measures. Longitudinal images should not indicate the absence of developing bars within the channel or an excessive increase in channel depth. Lateral images should not indicate excessive erosion or continuing degradation of the banks over time. A series of images over time should indicate successional maturation of riparian vegetation. 7.2 Vegetation Success Criteria Specific and measurable success criteria for plant density within the riparian buffers on the Project will follow IRT Guidance. The interim measures of vegetative success for the Project will be the survival of at least 320 planted three-year old trees per acre at the end of Year 3, five-year old trees at seven feet in height at the end of Year 5, and the final vegetative success criteria will be 210 trees per acre with an average height of ten feet at the end of Year 7. Volunteer trees will be counted, identified to species, and included in the yearly monitoring reports, but will not be counted towards the success criteria of total planted stems. Moreover, any single species can only account for up to 50 percent of the required number of stems within any vegetation plot. Any stems in excess of 50 percent will be shown in the monitoring table, but will not be used to demonstrate success. Scout Mitigation Plan 32 September 2018 8 MONITORING PLAN Annual monitoring data will be reported using the NCIRT monitoring template. The monitoring report shall provide a project data chronology that will facilitate an understanding of project status and trends, research purposes, and assist in decision making regarding project close-out. Monitoring reports will be prepared annually and submitted to the USACE. Monitoring of the Project will adhere to metrics and performance standards established by the USACE’s April 2003 Wilmington District Stream Mitigation Guidelines and the NC IRT’s October 2016 Wilmington District Stream and Wetland Compensatory Mitigation Update. Table 17 outlines the links between project goals, objectives, and treatments and their associated monitoring metrics and performance standards within the context of functional uplift based on the Stream Functions Pyramid Framework. 8.1 As-Built Survey An as-built survey will be conducted following construction to document channel size, condition, and location. The survey will include a complete profile of thalweg, water surface, bankfull, and top of bank to compare with future geomorphic data. Longitudinal profiles will not be required in annual monitoring reports unless requested by USACE. Stream channel stationing will be marked with stakes placed near the top of bank every 200 feet. 8.2 Visual Monitoring Visual monitoring of all mitigation areas will be conducted a minimum of twice per monitoring year by qualified individuals. The visual assessments will include vegetation density, vigor, invasive species, and easement encroachments. Visual assessments of stream stability will include a complete streamwalk and structure inspection. Digital images will be taken at fixed representative locations to record each monitoring event, as well as any noted problem areas or areas of concern. Results of visual monitoring will be presented in a plan view exhibit with a brief description of problem areas and digital images. 8.3 Hydrology Events A crest gauges will be installed to document the occurrence of bankfull events at the downstream end of HC3 (Appendix A) in accordance with the guidelines that a minimum of one gauge will be installed on each tributary that is greater than 1,000 feet in length, with one gauge required for every 5,000 feet of length on each tributary. In reaches with Priority 1 Restoration (designed to reconnect the stream to its floodplain), gauges will be capable of tracking the frequency and duration of overbank events. Where restoration or enhancement activities are proposed for intermittent streams, monitoring gauges should be installed to track the frequency and duration of stream flow events. 8.4 Cross Sections Permanent cross sections will be installed at a minimum of one per 20 bankfull widths with half in pools and half in riffle on all Restoration reaches (Appendix A). All cross-section measurements will include bank height ratio and entrenchment ratio. Cross sections will be monitored in Years 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7. There should be little change in as-built cross sections. If changes do take place, they should be evaluated to determine if they represent movement toward a less stable condition (for example down- cutting or erosion), or are minor changes that represent an increase in stability (for example settling, vegetative changes, deposition along the banks, or decrease in width/depth ratio). 8.5 Vegetative Monitoring Vegetation plot monitoring follows the CVS-EEP Level 2 Protocol for Recording Vegetation, version 4.2 (Lee et al. 2008) and includes analysis of species composition and density of planted species. Data Scout Mitigation Plan 33 September 2018 will be processed using the CVS data entry tool. In the field, the four corners of each plot will be permanently marked with PVC at the origin and metal conduit at the other corners. Photos of each plot are to be taken from the origin each monitoring year. Vegetation monitoring plots will be a minimum of 0.02 acres in size, and cover a minimum of two percent of the planted area. There will be nine plots within the planted area (10.9 acres). Plots will be a mixture of fixed and random plots, with six fixed plots and three random plots. Planted area indicates all area in the easement that will be planted with trees. Existing wooded areas are not included in the planted area. The following data will be recorded for all trees in the fixed plots: species, height, planting date (or volunteer), and grid location. For random plots, species and height will be recorded for all woody stems. The location (GPS coordinates and orientation) of the random plots will be identified in the annual monitoring reports. Vegetation will be planted and plots established at least 180 days prior to the initiation of the first year of monitoring. Monitoring will occur in Years 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 between July 1st and leaf drop. Invasive and noxious species will be monitored so that none become dominant or alter the desired community structure of the Project. If necessary, RES will develop a species-specific treatment plan. 8.6 Scheduling/Reporting A baseline monitoring report and as-built drawings documenting stream restoration activities will be developed within 60 days of the planting completion on the Project. The report will include all information required by IRT mitigation plan guidelines, including elevations, photographs and sampling plot locations, gauge locations, and a description of initial species composition by community type. The report will also include a list of the species planted and the associated densities. Baseline vegetation monitoring will include species, height, date of planting, and grid location of each stem. The baseline report will follow USACE guidelines. The monitoring program will be implemented to document system development and progress toward achieving the success criteria. The restored stream morphology will be assessed to determine the success of the mitigation. The monitoring program will be undertaken for seven years or until the final success criteria are achieved, whichever is longer. Monitoring reports will be prepared in the fall of each year of monitoring and submitted to the IRT. The monitoring reports will include all information, and be in the format required by USACE.

Project maintenance will be performed as described previously in this document. If, during the course of annual monitoring, it is determined that the Project’s ability to achieve performance standards is jeopardized, RES will notify the USACE of the need to develop a Plan of Corrective Action. Once the Corrective Action Plan is prepared and finalized RES 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. Prepare Corrective Action Plan for review and approval by IRT. 5. Implement the Corrective Action Plan. Provide the IRT a Record Drawing of Corrective Actions. This document shall depict the extent and nature of the work performed. Scout Mitigation Plan 36 September 2018 10 LONG-TERM MANAGEMENT PLAN Upon approval of the Project by the IRT, the Project will be transferred to Unique Places to Save (UP2S): Unique Places to Save (585) 472-9498 PO Box 1183 Chapel Hill, NC 27514 info@uniqueplacestosave.org UP2S will 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. Easements will be stewarded in general accordance with the guidelines published by the National Land Trust Alliance. Specific responsibilities include: • Monitoring of site is conducted on an annual basis. • An on-site inspection is conducted once per year. • Visits to the site are coordinated with landowner when possible. • Annual monitoring reports are sent to the landowner when possible. • Signage for the easement boundary is maintained. • Violations and potential violations of the conservation easement deed are promptly communicated to the landowner. A model conservation easement and engagement letter from UP2S are included in Appendix C. The engagement letter includes itemized annual cost accounting of long-term management, total amount of funding, and the manner in which the funding will be provided. Scout Mitigation Plan 37 September 2018 11 CREDIT RELEASE SCHEDULE All credit releases will be based on the total credit generated as reported in the approved mitigation plan of the site. Under no circumstances shall any mitigation project be debited until the necessary 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 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 in Table 18. 11.1 Initial Allocation of Released Credits The initial allocation of released credits, as specified in the mitigation plan, can be released by the IRT with written approval of the DE upon satisfactory completion of the following activities: a) Execution of the UMBI by the Sponsor and the USACE; b) Approval of the final mitigation plan; c) Mitigation site must be secured; d) Delivery of financial assurances; e) Recordation of the long-term protection mechanism and title opinion acceptable to the USACE; f) Issuance of the 404-permit verification for construction of the site, if required. 11.2 Subsequent Credit Releases The second credit release will occur after the completion of implementation of the Mitigation Plan and IRT approval of the Baseline Monitoring Report and As-built Survey. 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. As projects approach milestones associated with credit release, the Sponsor 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 report. Scout Mitigation Plan 38 September 2018 Table 18.

Scout Mitigation Plan 39 September 2018 12 MAINTENANCE PLAN The Project will be monitored on a regular basis and a physical inspection will be conducted a minimum of once per year throughout the post construction monitoring period until performance standards are met. These site inspections may identify site components and features that require routine maintenance. Routine maintenance should be expected most often in the first two years following site construction and may include the following: Table 19. Maintenance Plan Component/Feature Maintenance through project close-out Stream Routine channel maintenance and repair activities may include chinking of in-stream structures to prevent piping, securing of loose coir matting, and supplemental installations of live stakes and other target vegetation along the channel. Areas where stormwater and floodplain flows intercept the channel may also require maintenance to prevent bank failures and head-cutting. Stream maintenance activities will be documented and reported in annual monitoring reports. Stream maintenance will continue through the monitoring period. Vegetation Vegetation shall be maintained to ensure the health and vigor of the targeted plant community. Routine vegetation maintenance and repair activities may include supplemental planting, pruning, mulching, and fertilizing. Exotic invasive plant species shall be treated by mechanical and/or chemical methods. Any vegetation control requiring herbicide application will be performed in accordance with NC Department of Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations. Vegetation maintenance activities will be documented and reported in annual monitoring reports. Vegetation maintenance will continue through the monitoring period. Site Boundary Site boundaries shall be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between the mitigation site and adjacent properties. Boundaries will be marked with signs identifying the property as a mitigation site, and will include the name of the long-term steward and a contact number. Boundaries may be identified by fence, marker, bollard, post, tree-blazing, or other means as allowed by site conditions and/or conservation easement. Boundary markers disturbed, damaged, or destroyed will be repaired and/or replaced on an as-needed basis. Easement monitoring and staking/signage maintenance will continue in perpetuity as a stewardship activity. Road Crossing Road crossings within the site may be maintained only as allowed by Conservation Easement or existing easement, deed restrictions, rights of way, or corridor agreements. Crossings in easement breaks are the responsibility of the landowner to maintain. Livestock Fencing Livestock fencing is to be placed outside the easement limits. Maintenance of fencing is the responsibility of the landowner. Beaver Routine site visits and monitoring will be used to determine if beaver management is needed. If beaver activity poses a threat to project stability or vegetative success, RES will trap beavers and remove impoundments as needed. All beaver management activities will be documented and included in annual monitoring reports. Beaver monitoring and management will continue through the monitoring period. Scout Mitigation Plan 40 September 2018 13 FINANCIAL ASSURANCES CONFIDENTIAL The Sponsor will provide financial assurances in the form of a $283,000 Construction Performance Bond to the USACE to assure completion of mitigation construction and planting. Construction and planting costs are estimated to be at or below $283,000 based on the Engineer's construction materials estimate and recent bid tabulation unit costs for construction materials. Following completion of construction and planting the Construction Performance Bond will be retired and a $66,000 Monitoring Performance Bond will be provided to assure completion of seven years of monitoring and reporting, and any remedial work required during the monitoring period. The $66,000 amount includes contingency and estimated monitoring costs from the Engineer. The Monitoring Performance Bond will be reduced by $9,423 following approval of each annual monitoring report. The Monitoring Performance Bond will be retired in total following official notice of site close-out from the IRT. Financial assurances shall be payable to a standby trust or other designee at the direction of the obligee. Financial assurances structured to provide funds to the USACE in the event of default by the Bank Sponsor are not acceptable. A financial assurance must be in the form that ensures that the USACE receives notification at least 120 days in advance of any termination or revocation. The Performance Bonds will be provided by a surety listed with the U.S. Treasury and has an A.M. Best Rating of B or above. All Performance Bonds will be submitted to the USACE in draft form for approval prior to execution. In the event of Sponsor default, UP2S has agreed to receive the funds and ensure the work is successfully completed. Table 20.

Each plot is a 5m X 20m belt transect, positioned parallel to the channel in the floodplain or adjacent upland. Take a GPS point at the origin and set the bounds with 5m as the “x-axis” and 20m as the “y-axis.” Set the plot with the y-axis as the side parallel to the stream channel. Record the y-axis azimuth to allow for future resampling. Conclude selection and set-up with a representative photo of the plot taken from the origin. Data Collection Identify each plant in the plot to the species level. Sort and measure tree species by height class and diameter at breast height (DBH). Count seedlings <54in (137cm) in height into height categories 0-9cm, 10-50cm, 51-100cm, or 101-137cm. Count saplings >54in (137cm) in height into DBH categories 0-1cm, 1-2.5cm, 2.5-5cm, or 5-12.7cm. Measure the DBH of all trees ≥5in (12.7cm) DBH. Shrubs, vines, and herbaceous taxa receive an estimation of their percent cover over the substrate within the plot. If the personnel are unable to identify to the species level, collect voucher photos and/or specimen(s) for later identification. Record these on the data sheet as UNK-1, UNK-2, etc. Data Processing Begin processing collected data by identifying the unknown species observed from voucher photos and specimen(s) collected. When species present are sufficiently identified, use the dominant canopy species assemblages and ecological region to identify a habitat type from Schafale (2012). Calculate both basal area and stems per acre for each plot surveyed using the formulas below. These metrics help to inform the existing conditions of the canopy on-site and inform the development of the project’s planting plan. Basal Area Formula: Basal area of each tree (m2) = 0.00007854 X (DBHcm)2 Basal area of plot (m2/ha) = (sum of basal areas for all trees in plot) X 100 •100 is to scale up from our 0.01ha plot to 1ha Stems per Acre Formula: Stems/Acre = (# of stems)/0.02471 Viola sororiaBasal area= 32.95m^2/haStems per acre = 40.47 VP4 Duchesnea indicaViola sororiaSolidago canadenseSambucus canadensisBasal area = 0m^2/haStems per acre = 0Geranium carolinianumCardmine flexuosaLamium purpureumBlack Morphological Parameters Scout Morphological ParametersFeatureRiffle Pool Riffle Riffle Pool Riffle Riffle Riffle Riffle Riffle PoolDrainage Area (ac)Drainage Area (mi2)NC Regional Curve Discharge (cfs)2NC Regional Curve Discharge (cfs)3Design/Calculated Discharge (cfs)DimensionBF Cross Sectional Area (ft2)18.1 23.427.4 25.6 47.72.93.335.2 44.5BF Width (ft) 13.7 15.011.9 10.7 16.84.73.218.4 19.8BF Mean Depth (ft) 1.41.62.32.42.80.61.11.92.2BF Max Depth (ft) 1.72.73.73.44.00.92.02.63.9Wetted Perimeter (ft) 14.9 16.815.8 13.9 20.55.35.719.7 22.7Hydraulic Radius (ft) 1.21.41.71.82.30.50.61.82.0Width/Depth Ratio 9.89.65.24.55.97.63.09.68.8Floodprone Width (ft) >50---30.2 25.1 >30 14.08.550 26.5Entrenchment Ratio >2.2 ---2.52.3 >2.23.02.72.71.3Bank Height Ratio 1.01.1---2.1-1.01.71.01.0Bed MaterialDescription (D50)D16 (mm)D50 (mm)D84 (mm)PatternMin Max Min Max Max MinMaxMinMaxMin MaxChannel Beltwidth (ft) 26.3 55.5-------3869Radius of Curvature (ft) 13.5 103.3-------3287Radius of Curvature Ratio 1.06.9-------1.74.4Meander Wavelength (ft) 49.4 66.0-------80104Meander Width Ratio 3.64.4-------2.15ProfileMin Max Min Max Max MinMaxMinMaxMin MaxRiffle Length (ft) 618-------824Run Length (ft) 716-------922Glide Length (ft) 513-------718Pool Length (ft) 542-------757Pool -to-Pool Spacing (ft) 1864-------2487Additional Reach ParametersValley Length (ft)Channel Length (ft)SinuosityWater Surface Slope (ft/ft)Channel Slope (ft/ft)Rosgen Classification 1 Bankfull stage was estimated using NC Regional Curve equations and existing conditions data 2 NC Regional Curve equations source: Doll et al.

This number is not used in calculations, but is provided as a reference. Buffer Width Zone (feet from Ordinary High Water Mark) 6Square feet in each buffer zone, as measured by GIS, excluding non-forested areas, all other credit type (e.g., wetland, nutrient offset, buffer), easement exceptions, open water, areas failing to meet the vegetation performance standard, etc. Additional credit is given to 150 feet in buffer width, so areas within the easement that are more than 150 feet from creditable streams should not be included in this measurement. Non-creditable stream reaches within the easement should be removed prior to calculating this area wtih GIS. 5Maximum potential size (in square feet) of each buffer zone measured around all creditable stream reaches, calculated using GIS, including areas outside of the easement. The inner zone (0-15') should be measured from the top of the OHWM or the edge of the average stream width if OHWM is not known. Non-creditable stream reaches within the easement should be removed prior to calculating this area wtih GIS. 2Use the Custom Ratio fields to enter non-standard ratios, which are equal to the number of feet in the feet-to-credit mitigation ratio (e.g., for a perservation ratio of 8 feet to 1 credit, the multiplier would be 8). 1Minimum standard buffer width measured from the top of bank (50 feet in piedmont and coastal plain counties or 30 feet in mountain counties) 3Equal to the number of feet of stream in each Mitigation Type. If stream reaches are not creditable, they should be excluded from this measurement, even if they fall within the easement.

Photo # Photopoint Description UTM Northing (meters) UTM Easting (meters) Unique Places To Save Stewardship Monitoring Procedures and Guidelines Unique Places To Save (UP2Save) is dedicated to upholding and defending the conservation values of the easements it holds. An important aspect of achieving this is to conduct our stewardship monitoring practices in a professional, accurate, and efficient manner. The following procedures and guidelines will help ensure that staff will have the guidance and expertise to properly monitor UP2Save’s conservation easements. UP2Save’s stewardship monitoring procedures and guidelines are separated into three stages: (1) pre-monitoring due diligence; (2) monitoring of the easement property; and (3) post-monitoring due diligence. Each stage in the monitoring process is crucial in employing sound monitoring practices and creating accurate and reliable documentation. Pre-monitoring Due Diligence: Pre-monitoring due diligence includes components that prepare the monitor for the impending field work and documentation of their stewardship activities. The following procedures shall be followed prior to all conservation easement monitoring visits: 1. Contact the landowner to schedule a monitoring visit at least one to two weeks prior to the scheduled visit either by phone, email, or letter (make an effort to group monitoring visits to multiple easements in the same general area in one trip). 2. Make an effort to invite the landowner to be involved in the monitoring process. Usually having the landowner available for questions or discussion of issues before and after monitoring is fine. It is not necessary that the landowner accompany the monitor around the property unless the landowner prefers to do so. 3. If unknown, acquire any information needed to access the property (e.g. lock combinations, gate locations, road/trail locations, contact information for land managers and neighboring landowners). 4. A few days prior to the monitoring visit, make an effort to contact the landowner to confirm the monitoring date. 5. Prior to the monitoring date, review the conservation easement deed, baseline documentation report, most recent monitoring report, and any other pertinent information (e.g. landowner correspondence, older monitoring reports). 6. Create a monitoring map of the property using aerial imagery or a topo map as the base layer. Ensure that the property boundary is clearly depicted on the map as well as any building envelopes or other important boundaries or landscape features (e.g. stream buffers, forest management plots, property points of access). 7. Enter the property boundary and BDR photopoint locations (if available) into a GPS unit for field reference. 8. Inform at least two staff members of your schedule and destination(s). Have an emergency contact phone number available at the office. 9. Monitoring material that is needed on the monitoring visit includes: a. Stewardship Binder b. Monitoring map c. GPS unit (with extra batteries) d. Compass e. Camera (with extra batteries) f. Notepad 10. Prepare for your field work. Bring necessary field equipment to conduct a safe and effective monitoring visit. Field equipment should include: Required a. Sunscreen b. Extra water c. Extra clothing d. Extra food e. Extra cash f. Topo map of greater area g. First Aid/Survival Kit h. Blanket(s) i. Shovel j. Spare tire(s) k. Cell phone l. Flares m. Bolt cutters n. Crowbar Optional a. Tent b. Sleeping bag c. Firearm(s) d. Stove e. Laptop computer f. Bear spray Approximate pre-monitoring due diligence completion time: 3 hours Monitoring of the Easement Property: The field portion of the monitoring effort should be interpreted as (1) an opportunity to maintain and improve relations with landowners and/or landowner representatives; (2) a small-scale duplication effort of the baseline documentation report; (3) an opportunity to enhance, alter, or correct any deficiencies or errors in past monitoring efforts; and (4) a check on the activities within and conditions of the property under easement. The following procedures and guidelines will help ensure the efficiency, accuracy, and safety of a monitoring visit: 1. The monitor should have a clear strategy of how the property will be monitored prior to the site visit. 2. Meet with the landowner if possible prior to engaging in field work. Ask about land management activities (past, present or future), activities on adjacent lands, and any other issues related to the terms of the conservation easement. 3. Invite the landowner to accompany the monitor in the field. This is not necessary, but it is polite to ask. 4. Enact the monitoring strategy laid out prior to the visit using all tools available (e.g. GPS, compass, maps, photos). 5. Use GPS to track the monitoring route and take coordinates of photopoint locations. Use the compass to take azimuth readings at the photopoint locations (direction photo was taken). All photopoint coordinates must be taken in UTM coordinates, Zone 13. All azimuth reading must be taken using the 3-digit method (0 to 360°) to decrease ambiguity as opposed to using quadrants. For example, recording a bearing of 192° is much clearer than 12° W of S, or S12°W. 6. Walk or drive as much of the property as possible making an effort to visit all access points, boundary lines, and property corners. Pay special attention to building envelope areas and other areas that may have more restrictive covenants (e.g. stream corridors, no- timbering zones, high quality habitat areas). 7. Duplicate the photopoint locations that are depicted in the BDR. If new photopoint locations are required; develop the new photopoint locations based upon current landscape conditions and activities. Document these new locations in the monitoring report and make notes that future monitoring efforts should follow the new photopoint format. Note: the original photopoints portrayed in the BDR must always be replicated unless the BDR is amended to not include certain photopoint locations. 8. TAKE FIELD NOTES! Do not rely on memory to complete the monitoring report. 9. Make an effort to meet with the landowner after the field visit to discuss any minor, non- violation issues or other observations made while conducting the field visit. Do not, under any circumstances, discuss potential minor or major violations to the conservation easement with the landowner. UP2Save has specific procedures to follow when addressing potential violations (see UP2Save’s Conservation Easement Violations Policy). Approximate monitoring completion time: 4-16 hours depending upon driving time and size/complexity of property. Post-monitoring Due Diligence: Post-monitoring due diligence primarily consists of developing documentation of the monitoring visit. This documentation consists of: 1. Filling out the monitoring report 2. Creating a monitoring map including the photopoints, access points, monitoring track, and any other points of interest. 3. Writing a letter to the landowner that summarizes the monitoring visit and also states that the landowner is in compliance with the terms of the conservation easement. If the landowner is not in compliance with the terms of the conservation easement, then staff will follow the UP2Save’s Conservation Easement Violations Policy. 4. Properly duplicate the monitoring report and file all copies according to the UP2Save’s Stewardship Records Management Policy. 5. Mail the signed monitoring report and compliance letter to the landowner and any representatives listed in the baseline or that have received monitoring reports in the past. 6. Schedule the next monitoring visit based upon observations in the field and seasonal access to the property. Approximate completion time: 3 hours RECORDING REQUESTED BY AND WHEN RECORDED MAIL TO: SPACE ABOVE THIS LINE FOR RECORDER’S USE PERMANENT CONSERVATION EASEMENT THIS CONSERVATION EASEMENT (“Conservation Easement”) made this day of , 201_ by and between , (“Grantor”) and _________________ (“Grantee”).

Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction determination may be used in the permit evaluation process, including determining compensatory mitigation. For purposes of computation of impacts, compensatory mitigation requirements, and other resource protection measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat all waters and wetlands that would be affected in any way by the permitted activity on the site as if they are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. This preliminary determination is not an appealable action under the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process (Reference 33 CFR Part 331). However, you may request an approved JD, which is an appealable action, by contacting the Corps district for further instruction. There appear to be ZDWHUVLQFOXGLQJZHWODQGV on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). However, since the ZDWHUVLQFOXGLQJZHWODQGV have not been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdiction determination may not be used in the permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation, this preliminary determination is merely an effective presumption of CWA/RHA jurisdiction over all of the ZDWHUVLQFOXGLQJZHWODQGV at the project area, which is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision. We recommend that you have the ZDWHUV LQFOXGLQJZHWODQGV on your project area/property delineated.

Further, an AJD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an administrative appeal, it becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable.

These site inspections may identify the presence of invasive vegetation. RES will treat invasive species vegetation within the project area and provide remedial action on a case-by-case basis. Common invasive species vegetation, such as Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora), tree-of-heaven (Ailanthus altissima), and Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), will be treated to allow native plants to become established within the conservation easement. Invasive species vegetation will be treated by approved mechanical and/or chemical methods such that the percent composition of exotic/invasive species is less than five percent of the total riparian buffer area. Any control methods requiring herbicide application will be performed in accordance with NC Department of Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations. If areas of invasive species exist within the easement, they will be monitored yearly as part of the monitoring protocol, and treated if necessary. If required, problem areas will continue to be treated until the project easement shows overall trending towards meeting all monitoring requirements.

Attached are comments received in response to the public notice from the North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission, and a field visit memo incorporating comments from the attending IRT members. The Corps has reviewed the information provided and considered the comments received in response to the public notice and the field site visits. We have determined that the proposed mitigation bank appears to have the potential to restore and protect aquatic resources within the Upper Yadkin 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03040101 of the Yadkin River Basin. Therefore, the bank sponsor may proceed with preparation of a draft Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI).

NCWRC staff attended site visits with regulatory agency staff October 16-18. The prospectus proposes stream restoration, enhancement, and preservation on over 29,800 feet of stream to net over 18,000 SMUs in the Yadkin River Basin (03040101). The bank includes five sites, and general comments on each site follow: •Gideon Site. Located on a 76-acre parcel and sandwiched between two Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) sites, this agricultural site will involve restoration, enhancement, and preservation on 4,092 ft of Mill Creek and unnamed tributaries (UTs) to Mill Creek, netting 2,664 SMUs. The site is less than a mile upstream of the Mitchell River, which serves as habitat for Brook Floater (Alasmidonta varicosa, US Federal Species of Concern, NC Endangered). Excellent erosion and sediment control is especially important at both this site and the adjacent DMS sites to minimize impacts to this mussel. •Compass Point Site. This site is located on a 209-acre parcel in agricultural and forestry uses. It was recently logged. The project will involve restoration and enhancement on 5,024 ft of UTs to the Yadkin River, netting 3,709 SMUs. The downstream end of the site is at the confluence with the Yadkin River, and protection and enhancement of riparian habitat at this location is especially ecologically beneficial, as it will provide a wildlife corridor that is connected to the Yadkin River. We recommend that the landowner expand the forested riparian area along the Yadkin River, as well. Two rare mussels [Creeper (Strophitus undulatus, NC Threatened) and Brook Floater] are found in the Yadkin River in the vicinity RES Yadkin 01 Mitigation Bank Page 2 October 26, 2017 Davie, Yadkin, Surry Counties of the project, and erosion and sediment control is especially important at this site to minimize impacts to these species. •Green Mesa. This site is on a 273-acre parcel in agricultural use, and project activities include restoration, enhancement, and preservation on 7,776 ft of UTs to North Deep Creek, netting 3,531 SMUs. The old dam structure downstream of the present dam may serve as bat habitat, and NCWRC biologists may perform bat surveys there in 2018. •Twiman. This site is comprised of 10 parcels totaling 266 acres in agricultural use, and project activities include restoration, enhancement, and preservation on 10,477 ft of UTs to North Deep Creek, netting 5,766 SMUs. •Scout. This site is on two parcels totaling 522 acres in agricultural use, and project activities include restoration on 2,467 ft of Hauser Creek, netting 2,467 SMUs. Detailed comments on the mitigation approach are captured in RES staff’s October 16-18 site visit summary. NCWRC staff has reviewed this summary and has provided comments on it in a separate email. Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project.

While each project could be developed independently of the other, the combined easements will result in a much larger contiguous protected corridor and high- quality aquatic habitat.WRC mentioned that there are known occurrences of the brook floater (Alasmidonta varicosa) in the Mitchell River, approximately 0.5 miles downstream of the project area which RES mentioned in the Prospectus. Connecting the Gideon and Little Sebastian Sites offer opportunities to create and protect habitat for the State protected species. IRT members agreed the Gideon site is acceptable for compensatory mitigation, and final credit ratios will be determined in the Approved Mitigation Plan. Reach specific comments are below. •DWR requested that RES determine the potential wetlands on site. RES is currently delineating the site. •MC3-A: Group agreed to restoration at 1:1 ratio as originally proposed in prospectus. RES explained that cows have full access and the landowner has historically moved the channel. RES affirmed that construction sequencing would harvest native bed material when possible (e.g. cobble). The crossing will be a culvert. •JN5 – Group thought that Enhancement I at a 1.5:1 ratio would be more appropriate approach for this reach instead of Enhancement II. Enhancement measures will include grading banks, installing grade control structures (including at the tie-in with MC3-A), planting the buffer, and cattle exclusion. •JN4 – Similar to JN5, the Group thought that Enhancement I at a 1.5:1 ratio would be a more appropriate approach for below the crossing. Enhancement measures will include removing pipe in old channel, fixing current culvert, grading banks, installing grade control structures, planting the buffer, and cattle exclusion. Enhancement III at a 5:1 ratio is the approach for above the crossing and includes cattle exclusion and light supplemental planting. •MC3-B: RES originally proposed Enhancement II at 2.5:1, but the Group agreed to change the approach to Enhancement III at 5:1 ratio because of channel condition and cattle access. Enhancement measures will include planting the buffer on the left bank and cattle exclusion. •JN6-C – RES originally proposed restoration on this reach and Group agreed to that approach. However, proposed alignment and restoration approach will need to be dictated by topographic survey data. RES is in process of data collection, including delineating slough feature. WRC suggested fencing slough area if not in alignment of proposed restoration area. Barns will likely be removed and the culvert at the driveway will be reset to improve hydrologic connection to JN6-B.WRC Comment: At the break between JN6-B & JN6-A, there is an old road that is eroding. RES agreed to stabilize this road. •JN6-B – RES originally proposed Enhancement II on this reach. DWR did not agree to 2.5:1 ratio due to buffer being intact, but does agree this reach should be part of the overall project. The consensus was Enhancement III at a 5:1 ratio with an approach of removing the crossing and cattle exclusion. •JN6-A – RES originally proposed preservation on this reach. Group agreed to including this top part of the reach as preservation. The JD will determine the limits. Compass Point Site – 10/16/17 IRT members agreed the Compass Point site is acceptable for compensatory mitigation, and final credit ratios will be determined in the Approved Mitigation Plan. Reach specific comments are below. •DW6: RES originally proposed Enhancement II at 2.5:1 ratio. WRC and DWR recommended more of an Enhancement I approach (ranging from a 1.5 to 2 ratio), which would include bank work (spot stabilization), riparian buffer planting, and livestock exclusion. •DW1-A: RES originally proposed restoration at 1:1 ratio and Group agreed, with the exception being the upstream most portion that ties into DW6. Group agreed that a mix of Enhancement I and II would be best approach on the first 250 feet of DW1-A. •DW2: Group agreed to Enhancement II at 2.5:1 ratio as originally proposed in prospectus. RES confirmed that cows have access. Enhancement measures will include planting the riparian buffer and cattle exclusion. DWR and RES agreed to installing a stream gauge midway on the reach to monitor hydrology. •DW1-B: RES originally proposed Enhancement II at 2.5:1 ratio. Group discussed Enhancement I at a 1.5:1 ratio with enhancement measures including a combination of bed and bank work, complete riparian buffer planting, and cattle exclusion. DWR Comment: there was some discussion of E1, however, if that ratio is proposed vs the E2, then the work needs to be justified in the mit plan. For the reach DW1-D, DWR believes while it is a benefit to have a corridor connect to the Yadkin River, however, the ratio that is appropriate would be no better than 7.5:1.USACE Comment: This will transition from restoration in DW1-A at bedrock point. Buffered on one side, some areas do need bank shaping. EII only if the banks are addressed. The existing road may cause the buffer to be pinched to less than 50' at the end of the reach. •DW1-C: RES originally proposed restoration at 1:1 ratio. This reach has patches of high quality bed material including cobble and bedrock. Group agreed a Priority II Restoration approach, including benching to aid in floodplain connectivity, would be the best measure. •DW1-D – RES originally proposed Enhancement III at a 5:1 ratio on this reach. WRC wants to see this reach protected and included in the project. DWR and USACE recommended a 7.5:1 ratio. The approach will be cattle exclusion and installing a boulder grade control structure below the limits of restoration on DW1-C. WRC Comment: We support the protection and riparian buffer enhancement of this reach, which would protect a riparian corridor that would connect the Yadkin River to the site. Green Mesa Site – 10/17/17 Overall the site has clear potential for functional uplift, but there are a few notable constraints including powerline easement and a large pond that will remain (landowner will not allow pond to be part of project). Because the pond will remain in place, RES and USACE discussed potentially retrofitting the riser structure to include a bottom pond drain to release cooler water. IRT members agreed the Green Mesa site is acceptable for compensatory mitigation, and final credit ratios will be determined in the Approved Mitigation Plan. Reach specific comments are below. •FF4 and FF1-D: RES originally proposed restoration at a 1:1 ratio. The approach is a mix of Priority I and II restoration with potential for enhancement level I above the powerline based on bedrock in the channel. USACE said clearly justify rationale for restoration measures. •FF1-C: RES originally proposed enhancement II at a 2.5:1 ratio. DWR and USACE stated if channel was left in place and enhancement II approach was taken that it was likely for no credit to be given due to powerline and lack of buffer near the road. Group discussed starting restoration immediately below Baptist Church Road and RES agreed this was best option if feasible.WRC Comment: There was discussion of raising the bed elevation to lessen the DOT culvert perch. The discussion on lower FF1-C being too close to the road also applies to upper FF1-D. Turning the channel into the field upstream of where it turns now could allow R credit for both. •FF1-C (below pond): RES originally proposed enhancement II at a 2.5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle exclusion, buffer planting, and tying into the restoration area. There is a large stone wall in this reach with a culvert that might need to be retrofitted (if possible). Group agreed the best approach is probably to leave the wall in place and credit the enhancement at 3:1.USACE Comment: I agree with your summary for both areas above and below the pond. It's recommended that SHPO review this area (and the area where the other historic wall is in the buffer in FF1-A). •FF5: RES originally proposed enhancement III at a 5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle exclusion, invasive species treatment, and supplemental planting on right bank. DWR stated there is no cattle pressure and there is decent buffer on the banks, but invasives are problematic (high density of privet). WRC would like some of the black walnut removed and those areas replanted with a more diverse mix of native hardwood vegetation. USACE and DWR suggested a ratio of 7.5:1; however, if buffer planting and easement was extended to at least 100 feet a higher ratio could be approved. •FF3-A: RES originally proposed enhancement II at a 2.5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle exclusion and buffer planting. During the site visit RES suggested enhancement I at a 1.5:1 ratio with an added measure of bank stabilization to reduce shear stress and in- channel erosion. WRC agreed to rationale for enhancement I approach, but DWR stated that there isn’t much work needed on this reach and a ratio of 5:1 is likely most appropriate (see FF3-B below).DWR Comment: I had FF3A and B combined at a ratio of 7.5:1.WRC Comment: We did not agree with the E1 approach, as this reach has a stellar riparian forest; definitely agree on an E3 approach here, as light tough is needed and riparian area is too nice to justify getting heavy equipment to address channel erosion.USACE Comment: Widening the buffer and invasives control are necessary here. My notes indicate a ratio of 5-7:5:1, depending on justification of functional uplift. The historic house in the buffer should be addressed. •FF3-B: RES originally proposed enhancement III at a 5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle exclusion and light supplemental planting. IRT suggested combining FF3-A and FF3-B into one reach and having the entire crediting approach be enhancement III at a 5:1 ratio. This area might be generating wetlands that RES would not be claiming credit. RES is currently delineating the site.DWR Comment: I had FF3A and B combined at a ratio of 7.5:1.USACE Comment: Widening the buffer and invasives control are necessary here. My notes indicate a ratio of 5-7:5:1, depending on justification of functional uplift, especially considering these enter the pond. A narrative of historical farming practices would be beneficial. •FF1-B: RES originally proposed enhancement III at a 5:1 ratio and Group agreed and stated to justify the uplift in the mitigation plan.WRC Comment: There is evidence of beaver here. •FF2: RES originally proposed preservation and Group agreed to a 7.5:1 ratio with an approach of fencing where needed.DWR Comment: DWR could go with 7.5:1 on the preservation (FF2) but would like to see the reach extended above the crossing at the top and fenced out.WRC Comment: There was a discussion on preserving a little more above the fence line and whether the old road would be planted/fenced. There was a question on the location of the property line and end of preservation.USACE Comment: Channel in good condition, USACE feels preservation at 10:1 is appropriate. The discussion of 7.5:1 would be entertained if the upstream portion excluded cattle, as well. •FF1-A: RES originally proposed enhancement II at a 2.5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle exclusion and buffer planting. While there might be some opportunities for bank work, the group agreed that the enhancement II approach was best based on the amount of bedrock in this reach. Twiman Site – 10/17/17 IRT members agreed the Twiman site is acceptable for compensatory mitigation, and final credit ratios will be determined in the Approved Mitigation Plan. Reach specific comments are below. •TC2-A: RES originally proposed Enhancement I at 1.5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle exclusion, buffer planting, and bank stabilization. Group agreed to this approach. •TC2-B: RES originally proposed restoration at 1:1 ratio. Group generally agreed with this approach, but did note there is a section of potential enhancement I below the pond. Upon further data collection/analysis, RES will determine the best approach for this section of TC2-B. WRC Comment: The group discussed establishing the break between EI and R at the bedrock nickpoint. •TC1-A: RES originally proposed restoration at 1:1 ratio. Group agreed to this approach. •TC3-A: RES originally proposed Enhancement II at 2.5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle exclusion, buffer planting, invasive species treatment and spot stabilization. Group agreed to this approach with a ratio ranging from 2.5 to 3 to be justified in the mitigation plan. •TC1-B: RES originally proposed Enhancement III at 5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle exclusion and buffer planting. IRT suggested restoration as the approach. RES is open to examining restoration along this reach based on watershed size and design discharge. DWR Comment: these reaches should be restoration. If RES decides that restoration not feasible then the ratio for enhancement would be greater than 5:1, could be as high as 8:1. Planting outer 20 feet just does not do a lot for this system.USACE Comment: This channel is incised, poor substrate, no buffer, channelized, with an available floodplain. USACE & DWR feel restoration is appropriate. •TC4: RES originally proposed Enhancement III at 5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle exclusion and buffer planting. IRT suggested restoration as the approach. RES is open to examining restoration along this reach based on watershed size and design discharge. DWR Comment: these reaches should be restoration. If RES decides that restoration not feasible then the ratio for enhancement would be greater than 5:1, could be as high as 8:1. Planting outer 20 feet just does not do a lot for this system.USACE Comment: This channel is incised, poor substrate, no buffer, channelized, with an available floodplain. USACE & DWR feel restoration is appropriate. •TC5-B: RES originally proposed Enhancement II at 2.5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle exclusion, buffer planting, and minor spot stabilization. IRT suggested a lower ratio of 3:1 in some areas based on existing buffer condition. RES recommends potentially splitting the reach into different treatments based on level of intervention and will justify rationale in mitigation plan. •TC7: RES originally proposed Enhancement II at 2.5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle exclusion, buffer planting, invasive species treatment and spot stabilization. Group agreed to this approach with a ratio ranging from 2.5 to 3 to be justified in the mitigation plan.USACE Comment: 3:1 ratio would be more appropriate. •TC6: RES originally proposed Enhancement II at 2.5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle exclusion and buffer planting. This reach is in a deeply formed gully, but is currently stable with the exception of multiple headcuts at the top of the reach. DWR suggested “filling in” the reach to bring the bed up and credit as restoration with a 1:1 ratio. RES expressed concerns with filling in the gully because thee stream might lose jurisdictional status after construction with such a small watershed (roughly 20 acres). DWR Comment: Reach TC6 may not be a creditable reach. While I feel that the only beneficial treatment would be filling like a RSC approach it is likely the stream would lose flow. Planting the outer 20 feet for this reach would not be creditable enhancement either.USACE Comment: I would question whether there would be flow if the bed was raised with restoration. USACE would not release credit if the restored channel was not jurisdictional. The channel is part of the larger system, and the lower portions of this reach would benefit from cattle exclusion. I would suggest a lower EII ratio of 5-7.5:1. •TC5-A: RES originally proposed Enhancement III at 5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle exclusion and buffer planting. IRT agreed that this is an appropriate approach, but RES needs to clearly justify the rationale for the enhancement on this reach.DWR Comment: IRT suggested 7.5:1, would consider 5:1 if justified in mit plan. WRC Comment: RES will need to address the issue of cattle accessing land via passage under the bridge and the associated erosion.USACE Comment: USACE and DWR agreed that 7.5:1 would be more appropriate, unless 5:1 can be justified. Scout Site- 10/18/17 The Scout Site is located just upstream of the lower portion of the recently contracted DMS Mockingbird Site. While each project could be developed independently of the other, the combined easements will result in a better project and most importantly provide the opportunity to add over 2,000 linear feet of priority I restoration and limit the amount of priority II restoration on the Mockingbird Site. IRT members agreed the Scout site is acceptable for compensatory mitigation, and final credit ratios will be determined in the Approved Mitigation Plan. Reach specific comments are below. •HC3: Group agreed that restoration at 1:1 ratio is the best approach for this reach and including it will improve the development of the Mockingbird project. USACE commented that a hunting blind within the proposed easement area will need to be removed. There is an existing crossing that will be removed as part of the design. RES also showed a tributary that was not included in the prospectus that would be eligible for potential restoration credit at the tie-in with HC3, but would more likely be Enhancement II for the rest of the reach. Memorandum to the Record October 6, 2017 Response to Public Notice and agency comments on the Prospectus to establish the RES Yadkin 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank (SAW-2017-01462) in the Upper Yadkin River Basin HUC 03040101, North Carolina. Andrea, Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback and comments on the Public Notice (SAW- 2017-01462) for the RES Yadkin 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank (Bank) Prospectus. The bank Sponsor, Environmental Banc and Exchange, LLC wishes to establish a commercial umbrella mitigation bank to generate mitigation banking credits to provide compensatory mitigation for unavoidable impacts to aquatic resources associated with Section 404 permits within the Upper Yadkin River Basin HUC 03040101. The Bank consists of establishing five mitigation sites expected to provide approximately 6,373 cool Stream Mitigation Units (SMU) and 11,764 warm SMUs by restoring, enhancing and preserving over 29,800 linear feet of stream and riparian corridor. The project is designed to address stressors identified in the watershed and provide improvements and ecological uplift to water quality, hydrologic function and both aquatic and terrestrial habitat. The EPA Region 4 Ocean, Wetlands and Stream Protection Branch offers the following comments as they pertain to RES Yadkin 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank Final Prospectus dated July, 2017 and the Public Notice dated September 6, 2017.  Section 1.4/Page 3: The project goals stated are too broad and somewhat vague. For example, the goal: “Nutrient removal” and a few others may be better presented as “Intercept, filter, minimize and potentially eliminate nutrients (such as…), sediment and other pollutants/pathogens before entering the aquatic environment”. o The goal of “Improved aquatic and terrestrial habitat” is also vague and does not address any particular habitat or species of interest. Since we have cool water habitats being presented for restoration/enhancement then the goals should address the habitat types and rationale for considering them. o “Invasive species treatment” is more of an objective or action (and is stated as such in the document) to address the real goal of “Eliminate competition to native vegetation from exotic and invasive floral species”. o I understand that many of the “goals” presented are at the prospectus level and not necessarily applicable to each site but without clear goals, the establishment of objectives and performance standards that relate back to the goals and functional uplift of the site becomes more challenging.  Section 3.7/Page 6: The last sentence should read: “If planted tree mortality affects 40 percent or greater of the initial planting in a stream or wetland restoration or enhancement area, then a remedial/supplemental planting plan will be implemented for the affected area(s).” This addresses “planted” vs. “volunteer” mortality and defines the starting point to consider mortality.  Section 5.1/Page 9: Be sure to continue coordinating the work at the Gideon Site with the Little Sebastian sites and ensure the Mitigation Plan is updated with relevant information about the adjacent restoration site. NCDMS’ Little Sebastian site is now out on Public Notice, SAW-2017-01507, dated September 21, 2017. The Mitigation Plan should address how the Gideon Site will tie in with the adjacent restoration work so that the projects connect seamlessly and minimize disturbance to one another.  Section 5.4.7/Page 13: Be sure to identify the adjacent restoration work at the Little Sebastian site upstream and downstream of the project as a potential constraint. See comment above.  Section 5.5/Page 14: Table 6 does not match Figure 8. Be sure not to carry error forward into the Mitigation Plan for Gideon Site.  Section 5.5.1/Page 14: Second paragraph should state Enhancement Level II instead of Level I. I also recommend 50-foot riparian buffers be considered for this site due to the high potential for nutrients and fecal pathogens to enter the stream from the adjacent pasture.  Section 7.1/Page 21: SMU discrepancy should be corrected to match Table 6 on page 26.  Section 7.4.2/Page 22: Information on FF-5 is missing.  Section 7.5.1/Page 26: Enhancement Level I is not being utilized at the Green Mesa Site. Level II is proposed for Reach FF3-A.  Section 8.5.1/Page 34: Priority Level I is proposed for TC3-B only. Be sure to note pond removals in this paragraph and restoration plan in general.  Section 8.5.1/Page 35: Enhancement Level II includes TC3-A also.  Section 9.1/Page 36: Recommend continuing to coordinate with NCDMS and the adjacent Mockingbird site currently out on Public Notice (SAW-2017-01505) dated September 15, 2017. The Mockingbird site is considering a Priority II approach to restoration along Hauser Creek at the terminus of the Scout Site which is considering Priority I approach on Hauser Creek (HC3). I agree that the sites can be developed independently but they should complement each other and provide for a seamless transition as one moves downstream from Scout to Mockingbird.  Section 9.4.7/Page 39: See comment above. Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback, comments and concerns with the RES Yadkin 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank Prospectus and associated proposed sites to provide compensatory mitigation in the Upper Yadkin River watershed of North Carolina. I believe the sponsor has provided a viable plan to offset warm and cool water stream impacts that will be incurred within the proposed service area.

From:Stancil, Vann F To:Eric Teitsworth Subject:RE: [External] Project Scoping for Scout Stream Mitigation Project in Davie County Date:Friday, January 12, 2018 11:34:37 AM Hey Eric, The Scout Stream Mitigation Project is located on Hauser Creek, immediately upstream of the Mockingbird Stream Mitigation Site, in Davie County. The Mockingbird Stream Mitigation Site is now a contracted DMS Easement. Hauser Creek is a direct tributary to the Yadkin River. According to maps of the Mockingbird Stream Mitigation Site, there’s an existing easement downstream of that contracted DMS Easement. There are no records for any listed aquatic species in the vicinity of this project. Regarding terrestrial species, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) recently listed the northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. Davie & Surry counties are within the range (https://www.fws.gov/midwest/endangered/mammals/nleb/pdf/WNSZone.pdf) of the northern long-eared bat and may be present or in the vicinity of the project site. As such, consultation with the USFWS may be required. For more information, please see https://www.fws.gov/midwest/endangered/mammals/nleb/ or https://www.fws.gov/raleigh/NLEB_RFO.html or contact the Asheville office of the USFWS to ensure that potential issues related to this species are addressed. Please let me know if I can assist further.

Please note that this request is in support of the development of the Categorical Exclusion (CE) for the referenced project. The proposed project involves the restoration and enhancement of approximately 2,752 linear feet of stream The Site is currently in agricultural use, specifically as pasture and row crops. The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) database (accessed 26 June 2017) lists one endangered species for Davie County, North Carolina: Michaux’s sumac (Rhus michauxii). The database also lists the northern long- eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) as a threatened species. No protected species or potential habitat for protected species was observed during preliminary site evaluations. A review of the NHP database indicates that there are no known occurrences of state threatened or endangered species within a one-mile radius of the project area. Based on initial site investigations, no impacts to federally protected species are anticipated as a result of the proposed project. Please provide comments on any possible issues that might emerge with respect to endangered species, migratory birds, or other trust resources from the construction of a stream restoration project on the subject property. Maps showing the location and approximate limits of the conservation easement are enclosed. We thank you in advance for your timely response and cooperation. You may return the comment to my attention at the address below. Please feel free to contact me at eteitsworth@res.us with any questions that you may have concerning the extent of site disturbance associated with this project.

United States Department of the Interior FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE Asheville Field Office 160 Zillicoa Street Asheville, North Carolina 28801 January 30, 2018 Mr. Eric Teitsworth Resource Environmental Solutions 302 Jefferson Street, Suite 110 Raleigh, North Carolina 27605 Dear Mr. Teitsworth: Subject: Scout Mitigation Site; Davie County, North Carolina Log No. 4-2-18-119 The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has reviewed the information provided in your correspondence received via email dated January 4, 2018. We submit the following comments in accordance with the provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661-667e); the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. §4321 et seq.); and section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) (Act). Project Description According to your correspondence, you are seeking our scoping comments to inform a NEPA document for a proposed mitigation bank near Farmington, North Carolina. The proposed bank would entail restoration and enhancement of approximately 2,752 linear feet of Hauser Creek. Adjacent land use is dominated by pasture and row crops. Federally Listed Endangered and Threatened Species According to Service records, suitable summer roosting habitat may be present in the project area for the federally threatened northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis). However, the final 4(d) rule (effective as of February 16, 2016), exempts incidental take of northern long-eared bat associated with activities that occur greater than 0.25 miles from a known hibernation site, and greater than 150 feet from a known, occupied maternity roost during the pup season (June 1 – July 31). Based on the information provided, the project (which may or may not require tree clearing) would occur at a location where any incidental take that may result from associated activities is exempt under the 4(d) rule. Although not required, we encourage you to avoid any associated tree clearing activities during the maternity roosting season from May 15 – August 15. You indicated that no potential habitat for protected species was observed during a site reconnaissance. Additionally, the Service has no record of federally protected species or 2 respective habitats in the project vicinity. Based on this information, we do not believe the proposed project would impact federally protected species. The Service supports responsible and sustainable stream restoration activities and we offer the following comments in the interest of protecting fish and wildlife resources: Stream Channel and Bank Restoration A natural, stable stream system is one that is able to transport a wide range of flows and associated bed load (sediment) while maintaining channel features and neither degrading (accelerating the erosion of banks and scour of the channel bed) nor aggrading (accelerating the deposition of sediment within the channel). Alterations to the dimension (cross-sectional view of the channel), pattern (the sinuosity of the channel), or profile (longitudinal slope) of the stream channel as well as changes to streambank vegetation, floodplains, hydrology, or sediment input can significantly alter this equilibrium. Accordingly, we recommend the following: 1. Only the absolute minimum amount of work should be done within stream channels to accomplish necessary reconstruction. The amount of disturbance to in-stream and riparian areas should not exceed what can be stabilized by the end of the workday. Restoration plans should account for the constraints of the site and the opportunities to improve stream pattern, dimension, and profile with minimal disturbance. 2. All reconstruction work should follow natural channel design methodologies that are based on the bank-full, or channel-forming, stage of the stream. Bank-full stage maintains the natural channel dimensions and transports the bulk of sediment over time (Doll et al. 2003). Natural channel conditions should be identified using a reference reach (nearby stream reaches that exemplify restoration goals). Restoration design should match the pattern, dimension, and profile of the reference reach to ensure the project’s success. The Service is available to assist with the identification of reference reaches. 3. All work in or adjacent to stream waters should be conducted in a dry work area to the extent possible. Sandbags, cofferdams, bladder dams, or other diversion structures should be used to prevent excavation in flowing water. These diversion structures should be removed as soon as the work area is stable. When practical, a pump-around operation shall be used to divert flow during construction. 4. Equipment should not be operated in the stream unless absolutely necessary. Machinery should be operated from the banks in a fashion that minimizes disturbance to woody vegetation. Equipment should be: (a) washed to remove any contaminant residue prior to project construction, (b) in good working order, and (c) checked to ensure there are no leaks of potential contaminants (such as oil or other lubricants) prior to and during construction. 5. Streambanks with deep-rooted woody vegetation are the most stable, and stream restoration efforts should incorporate the use of native vegetation adapted to the site conditions. Biodegradable erosion-control materials may be incorporated into 3 bank-restoration design in order to stabilize soils as vegetation becomes established. Live dormant stakes (such as black willow) may be used to reestablish root structure in riparian areas. In areas where banks are severely undercut, high, and steep, whole-tree revetment or rock may be used as a stabilization treatment (small rock, gravel, sand, and dirt are not recommended due to their erosive nature), and it should not extend above the bank-full elevation (the elevation of the channel where the natural floodplain begins). Deep-rooting woody vegetation should be established along banks where any channel work is accomplished. Tree and shrub plantings should be spaced at intervals no greater than 10 feet along banks. Vegetated riparian zone widths should be as wide as practical but should extend at least 30 feet from the stream channel. 6. Adequate measures to control sediment and erosion must be implemented prior to any ground-disturbing activities in order to minimize effects on downstream aquatic resources. In North Carolina, non-cohesive and erosion-prone soils are most common in the felsic-crystalline terrains of the mountain and upper piedmont regions (Miller and Kochel 2010). Therefore, reconstruction work should be staged such that disturbed areas would be stabilized with seeding, mulch, and/or biodegradable (coir) erosion-control matting prior to the end of each workday. No erosion-control matting or blankets should contain synthetic (netting) materials. Matting should be secured in place with staples; stakes; or, wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. If rain is expected prior to temporary seed establishment, additional measures should be implemented to protect water quality along slopes and overburden stockpiles (for example, stockpiles may be covered with plastic or other geotextile material). 7. Woody debris, detritus, and other vegetative materials are the main sources of nutrients and carbon necessary for primary productivity in stream ecosystems. Removal of this material can impact the production of higher trophic levels, including fish. The Service does not recommend the removal of woody debris within the stream channel or floodplain unless it is causing a debris blockage (logjam) or will affect the ability to achieve bank stability along a specific reach of stream. Woody debris that must be removed should be chipped on the site. 8. At each restoration site, cross-sections (at intervals based on restoration reach size), longitudinal profiles, and stream-pattern plans should be measured and mapped prior to and immediately following any channel work. In addition, photographs should be taken to document the condition of the project site prior to initiating the work and upon completion of the work. However, since a project’s restoration success does not necessarily equate to biological success, the ecological goals of the project should be clearly defined and assessed for improvement after construction is completed (Palmer et al. 2005). The Service appreciates the opportunity to provide these comments. Please contact Mr. Byron Hamstead of our staff at 828/258-3939, Ext. 225, if you have any questions.
