Please give a brief project description below.

The Starker Mitigation Site (35.5734°,-81.17304°) is located in Catawba
County, North Carolina. The Site is part of the Catawba River Headwaters
Subbasin (HUC 03050101). The proposed site includes two Unnamed
Tributaries to Mull Creek (referred to in this prospectus as S100 and
S200), which drain into Lyle Creek and ultimately Lake Norman. Lyle Creek
is listed as WS-IV because it flows into Lake Norman, a water supply
reservoir, approximately four miles downstream of the confluence of Mull
Creek and Lyle Creek.
The project mitigation goals are to provide numerous water quality and
ecological benefits within the Lyle Creek and Catawba River watersheds.
Major goals for the Catawba River basin, as described in the Catawba
River Basin Restoration Priorities (RBRP; NCEEP, 2007, amended 2013)
include: 1) improved management of stormwater runoff to Crowder and
Catawba creeks, 2) protection of the critical water supply reservoirs in the
region and their immediate riparian zones, and 3) land protection for
important natural and cultural resource sites including the Bunker Hill
bridge over Lyle Creek. The proposed Starker Mitigation Site will restore
aquatic habitats that are currently degraded by cattle access and bank
erosion; improve water quality by excluding cattle; restore riparian buffers;
stabilize streams that are part of a WS-IV watershed; serve to continue
existing water quality initiatives that are on -going in the watershed; and
enhance/restore riparian wetlands by reconnecting the stream to its historic
floodplain.
