_ - _ _ _ W _ _ _ _ ;;;r. ;=;; _ - 4 To stabilize the stream and protect the integrity of the pipeline, the proposed construction
:�s�; ` -_ will realign the channel back to preexisting conditions prior to installation of the pipeline.
��ta I The stream banks will be armored to maintain the channel and minimize erosive
conditions. In addition, a grade controlling device will be constructed at the upstream
limits and a 2 step pool drop structure will be constructed downstream at the ROW limits
to maintain the stream invert and dissipate the water velocity. The step pool structure
will create a natural riffle -pool scenario providing habitat to species.
f l w
The upstream structure will be at an elevation of approximately 721'. The 2 step pool
P PP Y P
structure will constructed approximately 120 feet downstream. The top of the structure
will be at approximately 720' and the drops will be 1 foot to tie the invert back to the
tn
existing stream invert. The pool will be approximately 1.5 FT deep and 15 FT in length.
Armor Stone will be utilized for step pool and bank armoring construction. Armor Stone
+-�:�;�;=:�:=;� .•• • dad will be 500-2,000 lbs in size. The step pool structures will be constructed to maintain a
1 :' :,;� low flow channel, and restore the stream to pre-existing conditions when the gas mainline
' b6 was installed. Excavated material will be used to fill the existing channel as shown on
G`; -1, `- Z. these plans and seeded with native grasses. Stream banks will be graded to a 2:1 slope.
Access to the stream will be via an existing dirt road from the property 680 Waynick

Notes
1. Introduction
The Site is located approximately 8.5 miles southwest of Reidsville in Rockingham County, North
Carolina, on the Cardinal Gas Pipeline Right -Of -Way (ROW). One (1 ) natural gas pipelines run
the length of the ROW and the ROW is routinely maintained.
A Tributary to Haw River runs relatively south within and adjacent to the ROW to the confluence
with another tributary. The stream has been migrating west within the ROW resulting in
approximately 110 linear feet of pipeline exposed where the stream flows on and parallel to the
pipeline. The stream migration has also caused erosive conditions with steep banks. The Cos
Mainline is currently maintaining the current stream alignment.
II. Description of Work
The proposed construction witI realign the channel back to preexisting conditions prior to
installation of the pipeline, immediately adjacent to the ROW. The stream banks will be armored
to maintain the realigned channel, minimize erosive conditions, and future stream migration. In
addition, a grade controlling device wall be constructed at the upstream Iimits and a 2 step pool
drop structure will be constructed downstream at the ROW limits to maintain the stream invert
and dissipate the water velocity. The step pool structure will create a natural riffle -pool. scenario
providing habitat to species. The pool will be approximately 1.5 FT deep and 15 FT in length.
Armor Stone will be utilized for step pool and bank armoring construction. Armor Stone will be
500-2,000 lbs in size. Excavated material will be used to fill the existing channel as shown on
these plans and seeded with native grasses. Stream banks will be graded to a 2:1 slope. Access to
the stream will be via an existing dirt road from the property 680 Waynick Road previously used
for logging. Construction will avoid large trees to the greatest extent practical to construct the
stream restoration and Armor Stone will be installed as it is delivered to avoid removing trees for
a stockpile area.
A stream specialist must be onsitc during construction to succcssfulty implement this design and
ensure proper installation of the armor stone, This conceptual design is a guide. Design tolerance
will allow for minor variations in grading and toe rock placement. These variations are
unavoidable due to the variations of the rock surface and stream conditions during construction,
This tolerance allows for a more natural, less engineered look to the remedial actions proposed.
Prior to any land disturbance, exact location and depth of pipelines should be delineated by
Williams' personnel.
Ili. General Construction Notes and Best Management Practices
1. Miss utility must be contacted and all utility lines must be located and marked prior to the
start of any construction activitics.
2. Stream diversion will be achieved by means of a temporary bypass pumping during
construction.
3. If work is stopped for more than 15 days, temporary vegetative cover and/or matting will be
applied to all disturbed areas.
4. No excess fill, construction material, or debris shall be stockpiled or stored in wetlands,
riparian areas, and/or the 100-year tloodplain.
5. Place materials in a location and manner which does not adversely impact surface or
subsurface water flow into or out of wetlands, riparian areas, and/or the 100-year fZoodplain.
6. Do not use the excavated material as back fall if it contains waste metal products, unsightly
debris, toxic materials, or any other deleterious substance. If additional backfil] is required,
use clean material free of waste metal products, unsightly debris, toxic material or any other
deleterious substance.

at the Tributary to Haw River
wetlands, riparian areas, and/or the 100-year fioodplain,
S. Repair and maintain till so there is no permanent loss of wetlands, riparian areas, and/or
permanent modification of the 100-year flondplain in excess of that Iost under the originally
authorized structure or fill.
9. Rectify any wetlands, riparian area, and/or 100-year floodplain temporarily impacted by any
construction.
10. After construction has been completed, make post -construction grades and clevatons the
same as the original grades and elevations in temporarily impacted areas.
11. The disturbed area is to be rev egetaled with the native grasses and/or woody plants.
IV. Soil Preparation
1 Soil Additives: Additives are to be applied per soils test taken prior to, during, and after
construction. Soils will be amended per results.
2. Soil preparation: All areas to be seeded or planted shall be tilled to a minimum depth of 4
inches within the seeded areas and 4-6 inches within the woody plant areas. Any stones,
roots, or other material larger than 3 inches will be removed. pli modifiers and/or other soil
amendments specified in the soil test or as specified above will be added during the soil
preparation. Re -compact the area. The final grade shall be smooth and even soil surface
with loose, uniformly fine texture. All ridges and depressions will be removed.
V. Planting
1. Temporary/nurse crop seeding will be completed immediately post construction and seedbed
preparation is completed. Temporary/nurse crop seeding will be at minimum density to
avoid competition with native, permanent species.
2. Permanent native seed mix will be completed in conjunction with or immediately following
the nurse crop seeding.
3. Straw (f -om wheat or oats) will be spread ovcr the seedbed at a minimum rate of 1-2 tons per
acre to protect the soil subsurface, maintain moisture, and moderate soil temperatures for
seed germinadon. Straw must be tacked town to prevent loss.
4. Woody Vegetation will be installed between March 1 to May 30 or October 1 to December
31. Planting materials will consist of container grown trees. All stock will be planted as
received, no pruning will be done at the site. Stock not meeting specifications will be
returned. Al] planting stock shall be protected from sun scald, desiccation, and structural
damage during shipment to the site. Delivery of materials will be no sooner than one week
prior to planting. Materials held for planting will be moistened and placed in cool, shaded
areas until ready for placement.
a. Woody plants will be planted at a minimum of 435 stems per acre (approximately 10' on
center).
b. Plant material shall be planted in holes that are twice the size of the mot ball. When
digging the hole, keep topsoil separate from subsoil. If the subsoil is high in clay, allow
extra room (one-half again the height of the root ball j. Backfill the hole with enough
topsoil or peat moss to position the base of the tree at the same level as in the nursery.
c. If the plant is in a container, carefully remove it, taking the soil surrounding the roots
with it. This may require cutting the container. Loosen the twine and burlap at the top of
balled-and-burlapped plants, and check to make sure that no other wrapping is present
before planting.
d. Before replacing subsoil, mix it with one-third peat moss or well -ratted manure. Backfill
the hole, firming the soil as it is replaced, and leave a depression around the trunk within
Rockingham County, North Carolina
November 2019, Revised February 2020
the excavated area to hold water. Cover the base of the trunk to the same levci as before it
was removed. Water thoroughly, and rewater as necessary to keep the VOWS moist.
c. if necessary, shelter trees to avoid predation.
f. Cleanup and remaining trash or materials and dispose of properly offsite.
VI. Maintenance
Tree Fertilizing will be completed in Iate fall or early spring, before leaves emerge. Using a
punchbar, crowbar, or auger, make holes 18 inches deep and about 2 A apart around the drip line
of each tree. Distribute the fertilizer evenly among the holes to bring it in contact with tree roots,
and close.
If invasive exotic plants are noted during routine inspections, and treated if necessary utilizing
manual removal or an approved herbicide. Any use of herbicide will be used in the minimal
quantity necessary, only be applied to the invasive exotic species, and will be of low toxicity to
aquatic wildlife.
Areas within the ROW will be routinely mowed to maintain the ROW. The areas immediately
adjacent to the stream will be minimally mowed to allow the native seed mix to protect the
riparian area.
VII. Monitoring
The restored area stream restoration and buffer plantings will be monitor to ensure the restored
area is at a minimum functioning properly, no erosive conditions are occurring, no sediment is
being trans potted into the stream, and the planted riparian will be at a sufficient density of 320
trees per acre at maturity for a period of 3 years. The riparian buffer will be monitored for an
additional 2 years to ensure the sufficient tree density is reached.
Photodocumentation at permanent photnstations will be included in the monitoring report. The
first 3 reports will be submitted to USACE and NC DEQ by October 31 st of each year after
construction is completed. The additional 2 reports specifically focused on the riparian buffer will
be only submitted to NC DEQ.
If during the monitoring any erosion along the restored stream is detected, it shall be properly
addressed to prevent sediment transport into the stream. If any changes to the design are
necessary, USACE and IOC DEQ will be contacted before proceeding forward with repairs.
Hydrologic, vegetative, and soils data will be collected throughout the year. At a minimum each
report will include:
a. A map of the stream and riparian restoration area.
b. Photographs showing views of the stream area taken from permanent stations and
corresponding view directions. View direction will show the same area throughout the
monitoring period.
c. A report describing the overall conditions present at the stabilization area including. -
inspection of drop structures, bank armoring, vegetation viability, slope condition, and
identification of any undesirable species of vegetation or wildlife that would compromise
the integrity of the stabilized stream bank or riparian buffer. The report will suggest
methods for removal and monitoring of undesirable species of vegetation and wildlife.
