Mint Street, # 104 • Charlotte, NC 28203 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Wildlands Engineering, Inc. (Wildlands) completed a full -delivery stream and wetland mitigation project at the Vile Creek Mitigation Site (Site) for the North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services (DIMS) to restore and enhance a total of 8,056 linear feet (LF) of perennial and intermittent stream and to restore 6.40 acres of riparian wetlands in Alleghany County, NC. The Site is expected to generate 5,053.000 stream mitigation units (SMUs), and 5.703 riparian wetland mitigation units (WMUs) for the New River Basin (Table 1). The Site is located approximately one mile east of the Town of Sparta, NC in the New River Basin eight -digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 05050001 and the 14-digit HUC 05050001030020 (Figure 1). The Site streams consist of Vile Creek and five unnamed tributaries (UT) to Vile Creek including UT1, UT1b, UT1c, UT2, UT3, and a portion of Little River (Figure 2). Vile Creek flows into Little River near the downstream project boundary. The land adjacent to the streams and wetlands is primarily maintained cattle pasture and forest. The Site is within a Targeted Local Watershed (TLW) identified in the New River Basin Restoration Priority (RBRP) plan (NCDENR, 2009). The Site is also located within the planning area for the Little River & Brush Creek Local Watershed Plan (LWP). The LWP identified the following stressors to watershed function: Heavily grazed deforested buffer, livestock access to the streams, heavily eroded stream banks, land -disturbing activities on steep slopes, non -point source pollution from the Town of Sparta and surrounding areas, and drained and deforested wetland areas (NCDENR, 2007). The project goals defined in the mitigation plan (Wildlands, 2016) were established with careful consideration of goals and objectives that were described in the RBRP and to meet DIMS mitigation needs while maximizing the ecological and water quality uplift with the watershed. The project goals established in the mitigation plan focused on permanent protection for the Site, re-establishing natural hydrology and vegetation, reducing water quality stressors, and enhancing terrestrial and aquatic habitat. The Site construction and as -built survey were completed in February 2017. Monitoring Year (MY) 3 assessments and Site visits were completed between April and September 2019 to assess the conditions of the project. Overall, the Site has partially met the required stream, vegetation, and hydrology success criteria for MY3 and on track to meet MY7 performance stands/success criteria. All restored and enhancement I streams are geomorphically stable and functioning as designed. During MY3, no bankfull events were recorded on Vile Creek Reach 2 but three bankfull events were recorded on UT1 Reach 2. However, bankfull event criteria was already met in MY2. Seven geomorphically significant events were recorded on Vile Creek Reach 2 and UT1 Reach 2. Pebble counts reflect no significant change in restoration and enhancement I stream substrate material. The overall average stem density is 445 stems per acre for woody tree species and 284 stems per acre for shrubs. Therefore, meeting the MY3 requirement of 320 stems per acre for trees and 160 plants per acres for shrubs. Fourteen of seventeen vegetation plots are either meeting or exceeding stem density criteria. Nine of ten gages in the wetland re-establishment and rehabilitation areas are either meeting or exceeding hydrology success criteria. As requested by the US Fish and Wildlife Service during the IRT site walk in 2017, Wildlands removed the large woody tree species from designated shrubs zoneMY3 and replanted the areas with woody shrub species. Invasive species continue to be present within and around the site. Currently, 13.2 % of the conservation easement contains an invasive species population. Treatments in June of MY3 will be evaluated in MY4.

The project is within the New River Basin eight -digit HUC 05050001 and the 14-digit HUC 05050001030020 (Figure 1). Located in the Blue Ridge Belt of the Blue Ridge Province (USGS, 1998), the project watershed primarily includes managed herbaceous, mixed upland hardwoods, and other forested land. The drainage area for the project streams range from 0.01 square miles to 2.69 square miles. The project streams consist of Vile Creek and five unnamed tributaries (UT) to Vile Creek including UT1, UT1b, UT1c, UT2, UT3, and a portion of Little River. Stream restoration reaches include Vile Creek (Reaches 1 and 2) and UT1 Reach 2, which together comprise 3,047 linear feet (LF) of perennial stream channel. Stream enhancements reaches include UT1 Reach 1, UT1b, UT1c, UT2, UT3, and a portion of Little River, totaling 5,009 LF. Wetland components include 3.02 acres of wetland rehabilitation and 3.38 acres of wetland re-establishment. Construction activities were completed by Land Mechanic Designs, Inc. in February 2017. Planting and seeding activities were completed by Bruton Natural Systems, Inc. in February 2017. The land required for construction, management, and stewardship of the mitigation project included portions of five parcels resulting in 25.04 acres of the conservation easement. The project is expected to generate 5,053.000 stream mitigation units (SMUs) and 5.703 riparian wetland mitigation units (WMUs). Annual monitoring will be conducted for seven years with close-out anticipated to commence in 2024 given the success criteria are met. 1.1 Project Goals and Objectives The Site is intended to provide numerous ecological benefits within the New River Basin. While many of these benefits are limited to the Vile Creek project area, others, such as pollutant removal, reduced sediment loading, and improved aquatic and terrestrial habitat, have farther -reaching effects. Expected improvements to water quality and ecological processes are outlined below as project goals and objectives. These project goals and objectives were established with careful consideration of goals and objectives that were described in the RBRP and to address stressors identified in the LWP. The following project specific goals established in the mitigation plan (Wildlands, 2016) include: Goals Objectives Exclude cattle from streams and buffers by installing Reduce pollutant inputs to streams including fecal fencing around conservation easements adjacent to coliform, nitrogen, and phosphorous. cattle pastures. Install wells and drinkers to provide alternative water sources for cattle. Reduce inputs of sediment into streams from Reconstruct stream channels with stable dimensions. eroding stream banks.

The stream, vegetation, and hydrologic success criteria for the Site follows the approved success criteria presented in the Vile Creek Mitigation Plan (Wildlands, 2016). 1.2.1 Stream Assessment Riffle cross -sections on the restoration and enhancement I reaches should be stable and show little change in bankfull area, maximum depth ratio, and width -to -depth ratio. Per NCDMS guidance, bank height ratios (BHR) shall not exceed 1.2 and entrenchment ratios (ER) shall be at least 2.2 (C stream type reaches only) for restored channels to be considered stable. All riffle cross -sections should fall within the parameters defined for channels of the appropriate stream type. If any changes do occur, these changes will be evaluated to assess whether the stream channel is showing signs of instability. Indicators of instability include trends in vertical incision or bank erosion. Changes in the channel that indicate a movement toward stability or enhanced habitat include a decrease in the width -to -depth ratio in meandering channels or an increase in pool depth. Remedial action would not be taken if channel changes indicate a movement toward stability. Morphological surveys for the MY3 were conducted in April 2019. All streams within the Site appear stable with some areas exhibiting minor bank scour. WVile Creek Mitigation Site Monitoring Year 3 Annual Report — Final 1-2 In general, the cross -sections show little change in the bankfull area, maximum depth ratio, and width - to -depth ratio. All cross -sections fell within the parameters defined for channels of the appropriate stream type (Rosgen, 1994 & 1996). During MY3 cross -sections two and seven are exhibiting a bank height ratio greater than 1.2. Cross-section seven degraded during MY1 and has remained stable in subsequent years. Cross section two began to degrade in MY1 and has continued to degrade through MY3. The cross-section is located in between two logs in a rock and roll riffle. It's expected to see some deepening of a scour pool in this location of a rock and roll riffle. The degradation is not expected to affect the structures up and down stream. Wildlands will continue to watch these cross -sections in upcoming monitoring years. MY3 Pebble counts in UT1 and Vile Creek did not indicate a significant change in bed material compared to previous years. Refer to Appendix 2 for the visual stability assessment table, Current Condition Plan View (CCPV) maps, and reference photographs. Refer to Appendix 4 for the morphological data and plots. 1.2.2 Stream Hydrology Assessment At the end of the seven-year monitoring period, two or more bankfull events and geomorphically significant (60% of bankfull flow) events must have occurred in separate years within the restoration and enhancement reaches. Additional survey is required following a geomorphically significant event. The additional survey can be completed at any time during the seven-year monitoring period. The survey requirement is two sets of cross -sections two pools and two riffles and one longitudinal profile per design reach. The longitudinal profile must encompass two riffles that are constructed differently. During MY3, three bankfull events and seven geomorphically significant events were documented on UT1, while no bankfull events and seven geomorphically significant events were documented on Vile Creek Reach 2. With at least three bankfull events occurring in separate years documented on UT1 and at least two bankfull events occurring in separate years documented on Vile Creek, the success criteria for bankfull events has been met on all reaches and partially met for geomorphically significant events. Although geomprphically significant events were recorded in MY3, the additional required survey was not completed. The additional survey requirement will be completed in MY4. Refer to Appendix 5 for hydrology summary data and plots. 1.2.3 Vegetative Assessment A total of 25 vegetation monitoring plots were installed during baseline monitoring throughout the project easement to measure the survival of the planted trees, shrubs, and herbaceous vegetation. Seventeen of the plots were established to evaluate woody species composition, density, and survival rates, while 8 of the plots were established to evaluate percent coverage of herbaceous species of bog areas. The size of individual quadrants is 100 square meters (10m x 10m or 5m x 20m) for woody tree and shrub species and 20 square meters (5m x 4m) for herbaceous vegetation bog plots. Tree and shrub assessments are conducted following the 2006 Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) Level 2 Protocol for Recording Vegetation. The final planted stem vegetative success criteria for the Site is the survival of 210 planted stems per acre in the planted riparian and wetland corridor at the end of the required monitoring period (MY7). The interim measure of vegetative success for the Site is the survival of at least 320 planted stems per acre at the end of the third monitoring year (MY3) and at least 260 stems per acre at the end of the fifth monitoring year (MY5). In addition, planted trees must average 10 feet in height in each plot at the end of the seventh year of monitoring. Vegetation plots one and two contain only shrub species; therefore, shrub stem density success criteria of 160 surviving plants per acre at the end of year 3, 130 at the end of year 5, and 105 at the end of year 7 is used for these plots. WVile Creek Mitigation Site Monitoring Year 3 Annual Report — Final 1-3 There are no height criteria for shrubs. The bog plots are assessed by visually estimating the percent coverage within each plot and must have 80% coverage for success criteria. The MY3 vegetative survey was completed in September 2019. The MY3 vegetation monitoring resulted in an average planted stem density of 445 stems per acre for woody tree species and 284 stems per acre for shrubs species, both of which exceed the interim requirement of 320 stems per acre for tree species and 160 required for shrub species at MY3 and are on target to meet the requirements for MY5 and MY7. In addition, 14 of the 17 plots individually met the success criteria with a stem density ranging from 364 to 728 stems per acre for tree species and 162 to 405 for shrub species. Vegetation plots five, nine, and fourteen did not meet stem density requirements and may warrant supplemental planting this winter. The bog cells have become well established since project construction. Each with approximately 99% herbaceous coverage, the MY3 monitoring shows all herbaceous bog plots are exceeding success criteria. Refer to Appendix 2 for vegetation plot photographs and Appendix 3 for vegetation data tables. 1.2.4 Wetland Assessment A total of ten groundwater hydrology gages (GWG) and two soil temperature gages were established during baseline monitoring within the wetland rehabilitation, wetland re-establishment, and bog areas. A barotroll logger, used to measure barometric pressure and aid in the calculation of groundwater levels, was also installed on -site. Groundwater monitoring gages are downloaded on a quarterly basis and maintained as needed. Under typical precipitation conditions, the final performance success criteria for groundwater hydrology is the documentation of free groundwater within 12 inches of the ground surface for 14 consecutive days (8.5%) of the defined 169-day growing season (April 26 — October 11) for wetlands and 20 consecutive days (12%) of the defined 169-day growing season (April 26 — October 11) for bog areas. Nine of the Site's ten GWGs met the success criteria for MY3, with the measured hydroperiod ranging from 2% to 100% of the growing season. While the attainment criteria for hydrologic success for most of the wells increased or remained the same in comparison to previous years, GWGs 2, 3, 7, and 8 showed a decrease in the number of consecutive days when groundwater was within 12 inches of the ground surface for MY3. GWG 8 was the only well that did not meet the hydrology requirement for MY3. During MY1 a berm was lowered that was initially backing up 6-10 inches of water. A significant drop in ground water attainment for GWG 8 occurred between MY1 and MY2. In MY3 GWG 8 hydrology continued to decrease. Wildlands will continue monitoring this change to determine if the addition of another well may be needed to document hydrologic conditions for this area. Rainfall data collected from the NC-AG-1-Sparta 3.5 SSW(NCCRONOS) rain gage, showed average to above average rainfall for a majority of the growing season. The months of March, May, August, and September saw below average rainfall. Refer to the CCPV Maps in Appendix 2 for the groundwater gage locations and Appendix 5 for groundwater hydrology and average rainfall summary data and plots. 1.2.5 Areas of Concern/Adaptive Management Plan Following Hurricane Michael and Florence in Fall 2018, areas of scour and erosion were observed along several meander bends. Many of the areas observed at the end of MY2 have re-established with vegetation and appear stable. However, the following areas are now experiencing localized bank instability and include: Vile Creek Reach 1 station 103+05, Vile Creek Reach 2 station 120+60-120+90, Vile Creek Reach 3 station 124+00, UT1 Reach 1 between stations 210+60 — 210+80, and UT2 stations 305+00 and 306+50. Areas of aggradation along enhancement II reaches, UT2 (Stations 308+50 (23') and WVile Creek Mitigation Site Monitoring Year 3 Annual Report — Final 1-4 211+50 (41')), UT1b (station 251+20 (51')), and UT1c (Station 271+50 (109')), have resulted in sheet flow onto the floodplain rather than maintaining flow within a single thread channel. Two headcuts have formed on UT2 at stations 302+40 and 309+80. The BMP at the top of UT2 has formed a headcut at the intake from a natural crenulation flowing into the BMP. Wildlands plans to address areas of localized bank instability across the site and further evaluate headcut and aggradation areas of concern during winter 2019/2020. All completed repairs will be included in MY4 monitoring report. The areas surrounding the bogs near Vile Creek Reach 2 were previously planted incorrectly with trees. In June of MY3, the trees were removed from these areas and planted with shrubs. In addition, the transplanted Gray's lily (Lilium grayi) near GWG 7 was found and monumented. A second population of Gray's lily found downstream was also monumented. Invasive species including Japanese barberry (eerberis thunbergii), Oriental bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus), and multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora) continue to be present within and around the Site. Previous invasive species treatments have included cutting the plants and applying glyphosate the stumps or stems and have reduced the invasive species population from 17.4% in MY2 to 13.2% in MY3. Although, these species are not impacting survival rates of planted stems at this time, these areas will likely warrant additional treatment to prevent any advancement within the conservation easement and future impacts to the Site. Treatments conducted in June of MY3 will be evaluated in MY4. Wildlands will continue to monitor the areas of concern and take action as necessary. Less than 1% of the easement contains areas of poor herbaceous cover. The areas are located between GWGs 8 and 9, along the right bank of UT2 near station 305+00, and the left bank of Vile Creek Reach 3 located at the boulder toe between stations 124+00 and 124+50. These areas were reseeded in June of MY3 with a custom erosion control mix of native species. These areas will be reassessed in MY4 to determine the success of the supplemental planting application. Refer to Appendix 2 for the vegetation condition assessment table and the CCPV map. 1.3 Monitoring Year 3 Summary The majority of the streams within the Site appear to be stable and functioning as designed. Multiple gemorphically significant events were documented for UT1 and Vile Creek, as well as and multiple bankfull events on UT1; therefore, the Site has partially met the stream hydrological success criteria. The average planted stem density for the Site is 445 stems per acres and shrub density is 284 stems per acre, which is on track to meet the MY7 success criteria with 14 of the 17 individual vegetation plots meeting the MY3 success criteria. The areas in and around vegetation plots 5, 9, and 14 may warrant a supplemental planting this winter to help establish a native community. The bog cells have become well established, with approximately 99% coverage of herbaceous vegetation. Nine of the ten groundwater gages met the success criteria for MY3; however, a decrease was observed in the hydrology for multiple gages. Planned management and maintenance will continue to address any areas of concerns that should advance or arise. Summary information and data related to the performance of various project and monitoring elements can be found in the tables and figures in the report appendices. Narrative background and supporting information formerly found in these reports can be found in the Mitigation Plan documents available on DMS's website. All raw data supporting the tables and figures in the appendices are available from DIMS upon request. WVile Creek Mitigation Site Monitoring Year 3 Annual Report — Final 1-5 Section 2: METHODOLOGY Geomorphic data were collected following the standards outlined in The Stream Channel Reference Site: An Illustrated Guide to Field Techniques (Harrelson et al., 1994) and in the Stream Restoration: A Natural Channel Design Handbook (Doll et al., 2003). All Integrated Current Condition Mapping was recorded using either a Trimble or Topcon handheld GPS with sub -meter accuracy and processed using Pathfinder and ArcGIS. Crest gages were installed in surveyed riffle cross sections and monitored quarterly. Hydrologic monitoring instrument installation and monitoring methods are in accordance with the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE, 2016) standards. Planted woody vegetation is being monitored in accordance with the guidelines and procedures developed by the Carolina Vegetation Survey-EEP Level 2 Protocol (Lee et al., 2006).

Accessing the site may require traversing areas near or along the easement boundary and therefore access by the general public is not permitted. Access by authorized personnel of state and federal agencies or their designees/contractors involved in the development, oversight,and stewardship of the restoration site is permitted within the terms and timeframes of their defined roles. Any intended site visitation or activity by any person outside of these previously sanctioned roles and activites requires prior coordination with DMS. ix.

The key topics of the discussion are described below. Break up flow paths in bog area The middle bog area on the left floodplain along Vile Creek Reach 1 has some concentrated flow paths that seem to consistently convey water through the bog. These are a risk for headcutting. The flow will be dispersed by placing three coir logs across the concentrated flow paths. They will be staked in place. The coir logs are only intended to be a temporary measure to prevent erosion until the vegetation becomes fully established. The approximate location for the coir logs is shown on the attached map. Lowering of bog area berm The most downstream bog area has approximately 6 to 10 inches of water backed up behind the berm (see attached map). This particular berm was constructed slightly too high. Wildlands has agreed to lower the spillway elevation on this berm by about six inches to reduce the depth of water ponded behind the berm. This will be done with manual labor in order to minimize the impacts on the surrounding wetlands and vegetation. 3. Transplant Gray's Lily Because one or two specimens of Gray's Lily identified on site were graded over during construction, Wildlands located a source for the flowers to transplant on the site. During the site visit, a Gray's Lily was found adjacent to a bog area on the left floodplain of Vile Creek Reach 2. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service representatives asked Wildlands to install the transplants in the same area as the existing plant. On Thursday, July 20 Wildlands planted three Gray's Lily bulbs in this location (see attached map). Wildlands Engineering, Inc. • phone 704-332-7754 • fax 704-332-3306 • 1430 S. Mint Street, # 104 • Charlotte, NC 28203 4. Remove trees from shrub planting zones and replant with shrubs In a couple of areas along Vile Creek, at least some trees were planted in shrub zones. This is a problem because the shrub zones were planned to minimize shade on the bog areas. Trees will create undesirable shade on the bogs. Wildlands will remove the trees from these areas and replant with shrubs. The primary areas where trees are planted in shrub zones are shown on the attached map. Action Item: Please review the attached map and coordinate with Jeff Keaton if there are other areas where trees are planted in a shrub zone. Please also review the approved planting plan map submitted with the final mitigation plan (also included) to make sure the any additional areas are within planned shrub zones. Improve floodplain outlet At the upstream end of Vile Creek Reach 2, there is a floodplain outlet that is not functioning properly (see attached map). Most of the water draining out of a nearby bog area is not entering the channel through the constructed outlet but is draining over a brush toe where the brush overlaps with the riffle. After some discussion, it seems like the best solution is to relocate the outlet to the location where the water wants to flow. Wildlands will relocate the outlet. 6. Meander bend erosion At the downstream end of Vile Creek Reach 2 there is some erosion beginning on the outside of a meander bend. The group agreed that this area does not need remedial action at this point but Wildlands agreed to continue to watch this area going forward. If remedial action becomes necessary, Wildlands will stabilize the bank and correct the problem. I h -14; 4 1 ; j i �� It N , • / \ ,\ C U t / L. , -1 . N 47� 'Acl U) 0 Q Q V/ Q CN Bug 'JAW.
