RE: 601 East MY5 (2019) IRT Credit Release Site Visit
Attendees:
IRT: Todd Tugwell (USACE), Mac Haupt (NCDWR), Erin Davis (NCDWR)
DMS: Paul Wiesner
RES: Brad Breslow, Ryan Medric
Site Visit Date: June 1, 2020
The IRT, DMS, and RES had a site visit at the 601 East Stream Restoration Site to discuss the Monitoring
Year 5 (2019) credit release. The main topics of discussion were the potential flow issues, beaver dams,
and encroachment. Details are bulleted below:
- Flow was observed throughout all project reaches, however, the IRT requested the flow gauge on
Reach 1 be moved further upstream towards the ephemeral reach. On 6/3/2020 RES moved the
flow gauge from XS2 up to XS 1.
- The IRT observed beaver dams on Reach 2 and 3 and encroachment along Reach 4. RES addressed
these items on 6/2/2020 (photos attached). The IRT noted that RES needs to be timelier when
addressing maintenance issues.
- The IRT also observed missing easement signage and small areas of easement
scalloping/encroachment. RES agreed to repair any easement scalloping/encroachment and agreed
to ensure all required easement marking and signage are updated and present by the end of MY6
(2020) monitoring.
- Reach 2 showed far less parrotfeather than previously observed. RES will continue
observing/treating the parrotfeather as necessary.
- General site vegetation was above average in height, especially along the channel. A few small bare
herbaceous areas were noted likely due to bench cutting during construction.
- At the end of the meeting, the IRT agreed to release 2019 project credit as proposed by DMS.
