1 Project Summary
1.1 Project Location and Description
Water and Land Solutions, LLC (WLS) completed the construction and planting of the Hollowell Mitigation
Project (Project) in April 2020. The Project is located approximately seven miles southwest of Goldsboro
in Wayne County, NC (35.35814, -78.11642), in the Neuse River Basin 8-digit HUC 03020201 and NC
Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) sub-basin 03-04-02 (Warm Water Thermal Regime). The
Project is a site within the WLS Neuse 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank. This sub-basin spans portions of
Johnston and Wayne Counties and includes the municipalities of Goldsboro, Selma, Pine Level, Mount
Olive and Princeton.
The Project involved the restoration, enhancement, preservation, and permanent protection of eight
stream reaches totaling approximately 8,979 linear feet, and the preservation, re-establishment, and
enhancement of riparian wetlands totaling 10.52 acres. The Project also results in nutrient offset credits,
riparian buffer restoration, and buffer preservation through the Division of Water Resources. The Project
will provide significant ecological improvements and functional uplift through stream and aquatic habitat
restoration, and through decreasing nutrient and sediment loads within the watershed. Figures 1a and 1b
illustrate the project mitigation components.
Monitoring Year 1 (MY1) activities occurred during the last week in October 2020. This report presents
the data for MY1. The Project meets the MY1 success criteria for stream hydrology, stream horizontal and
vertical stability, streambed condition and stability, stream flow, and vegetation. Based on these results,
the Project is expected to meet the Monitoring Year 2 (MY2) success criteria in 2021. For more information
on the chronology of the project history and activity, refer to Appendix A, Table 2. Relevant project contact
information is presented in Table 3 and project background information is presented in Table 4.
1.2 Project Goals and Objectives
The Project will meet the goals and objectives described in the Hollowell Final Approved Mitigation Plan
and will address general restoration goals and opportunities outlined in the NC DMS Neuse River Basin
RBRP (DEQ 2010). More specifically, watershed goals and management strategies will be met by:
• Reducing sediment, soil erosion, turbidity, and nutrient inputs such as nitrogen and phosphorus
to the Neuse River Watershed.
• Restoring, enhancing, preserving, and protecting headwater streams, wetlands, riparian buffers
and aquatic habitat functions.
• Improving riparian corridor management and targeting restoration of impacted streams and
riparian buffer areas.
• Promoting agronomic farm management techniques and implementing agricultural BMPs and
water quality features, such as nutrient management and wetlands restoration.
To accomplish these project-specific goals, the following objectives will be measured to document overall
project success:
• Provide a floodplain connection to the incised Project stream reaches by lowering bank height
ratios (BHRs) to less than 1.2, thereby promoting a more natural headwater flow regime and
overbank flood flows,
2
• Improve bedform diversity by increasing scour pool spacing and depth variability,
• Increase native species riparian buffer and wetland vegetation density/composition along
streambank and floodplain areas that meet requirements of a minimum 50-foot-wide and 210
stems/acre after the monitoring period,
• Improve aquatic habitat and fish species diversity and migration through the addition of in-stream
cover and native woody debris,
Site protection is provided by a 72-acre conservation easement with a minimum width of 50 feet from the
top of the restored stream banks. The easement protects all project streams, wetlands and aquatic
resources in perpetuity.
1.3 Project Success Criteria
The success criteria for the Project follows the approved performance standards and monitoring protocols
from the final approved mitigation plan; which was developed in compliance with the USACE October
2016 Guidance, USACE Stream Mitigation Guidelines (April 2003 and October 2005), and 2008
Compensatory Mitigation Final Rule. Cross-section and vegetation plot data will be collected in Years 0, 1,
2, 3, 5, and 7. Stream hydrology data and visual monitoring will be reported annually. Specific success
criteria components and evaluation methods are described below.
1.3.1 Single-Thread Streams
Stream Hydrology: Four separate bankfull or over bank events must be documented within the seven-year
monitoring period and the stream hydrology monitoring will continue until four bankfull events have been
documented in separate years. Stream hydrology monitoring will be accomplished with pressure
transducers installed in pools and correlating sensor depth to top of bank elevation. Recorded water depth
above the top of bank elevation will document a bankfull event. In addition to the pressure transducers,
traditional cork gauges will be installed at bankfull elevation and will be used to document bankfull events
with photographs.
Stream Profiles, Vertical Stability, and Floodplain Access: Stream profiles, as a measure of vertical stability
and floodplain access will be evaluated by looking at Bank Height Ratios (BHR). In addition, observed
bedforms should be consistent with those observed for channels of the design stream type(s). The BHR
shall not exceed 1.2 along the restored Project stream reaches. This standard only applies to restored
reaches of the channel where BHRs were corrected through design and construction. Vertical stability will
be evaluated with visual assessment, cross sections and, if directed by the IRT, longitudinal profile.
Stream Horizontal Stability: Cross-sections will be used to evaluate horizontal stream stability on restored
streams. There should be little change expected from as-built restoration cross-sections. If measurable
changes do occur, they should be evaluated to determine if the changes represent a movement toward a
more unstable condition (e.g., downcutting, erosion) or a movement towards increased stability (e.g.,
settling, vegetation establishment, deposition along the streambanks, 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.
Reference photo transects will be taken at each permanent cross-section. Lateral photos should not
indicate excessive erosion or continuing degradation of the streambanks. Photographs will be taken of both
3
streambanks at each cross-section. A survey tape stretched between the permanent cross-section
monuments/pins will be centered in each of the streambank photographs. The water elevation will be
shown in the lower edge of the frame, and as much of the streambank as possible will be included in each
photo. Photographers will attempt to consistently maintain the same area in each photo over time.
Streambed Material Condition and Stability: After construction, there should be minimal change in the
particle size distribution of the streambed materials, over time, given the current watershed conditions
and future upstream sediment supply regime. Because the streambed material and sediment
supply is predominantly sand with minimal gravel, significant changes in particle size distribution and
channel substrate are not expected.
Jurisdictional Stream Flow: Monitoring of stream flow will be conducted to demonstrate that the restored
stream systems classified as intermittent exhibit surface flow for a minimum of 30 consecutive days
throughout some portion of the year during a year with normal or below normal rainfall conditions. Stream
flow monitoring will be accomplished with pressure transducers installed in pools and correlating sensor
depth to the downstream top of riffle elevation. If the pool water depth is at or above the top of riffle
elevation, then the channel will be assumed to have surface flow (Figure 3). The devices will record water
elevation twice per day and will be inspected quarterly to document surface hydrology and provide a basis
for evaluating flow response to rainfall events.
1.3.2 Headwater Streams
Seasonal Flow: Surface flow must be documented using automatic pressure transducers (flow
gauges). Continuous surface water flow within the valley or crenulation must be documented to occur
every year for at least 30 consecutive days during the prescribed monitoring period. This will be
accomplished in the same approach as Jurisdictional Stream Flow above.
Channel Formation: During monitoring years 1 through 4, the preponderance of evidence must
demonstrate a concentration of flow indicative of channel formation within the topographic low-point of
the valley or crenulation as documented by the following indicators:
• Scour (indicating sediment transport by flowing water)
• Sediment deposition (accumulations of sediment and/or formation of ripples)
• Sediment sorting (sediment sorting indicated by grain-size distribution with the primary path of
flow)
• Multiple observed flow events (must be documented by gauge data and/or photographs)
• Destruction of terrestrial vegetation
• Presence of litter and debris
• Wracking (deposits of drift material indicating surface water flow)
• Vegetation matted down, bent, or absent (herbaceous or otherwise)
• Leaf litter disturbed or washed away
During monitoring years 5 through 7, the stream must successfully meet the requirements above and the
preponderance of evidence must demonstrate the development of stream bed and banks as documented
by the following indicators:
4
• Bed and banks (may include the formation of stream bed and banks, development of channel
pattern such as meander bends and/or braiding at natural topographic breaks, woody debris, or
plant root systems)
• Natural line impressed on the bank (visible high-water mark)
• Shelving (shelving of sediment depositions indicating transport)
• Water staining (staining of rooted vegetation)
• Change in plant community (transition to species adapted for flow or inundation for a long
duration, including hydrophytes)
• Changes in character of soil (texture and/or chroma changes when compared to the soils abutting
the primary path of flow)
1.3.3 Wetlands
Wetland Hydrology: The performance standard for wetland hydrology will be a minimum 12 to 16 percent
based on the suggested wetland saturation thresholds for soils taxonomic subgroups provided by the IRT
and on-site wetland reference data. The proposed success criteria for wetland hydrology will be when the
soils are saturated within 12 inches of the soil surface for 12 to 16 percent (27 to 36 days) of the growing
season (March 21 through November 6) based on WETS data table for Wayne County, NC. The saturated
conditions should occur during a period when antecedent precipitation has been normal or drier than
normal for a minimum frequency of 5 years in 10 (USACE, 2005 and 2010b). Precipitation data will be
obtained from the Cherry Research Station near Goldsboro (GOLD), which is approximately 4 miles east
from the Project site and a rain gauge was installed on site.
1.3.4 Vegetation
Vegetation monitoring will occur in the fall each required monitoring year, typically prior to leaf drop.
Plots will be monitored in years 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7. Vegetative success for the Project during the intermediate
monitoring years will be based on the survival of at least 320, three-year-old planted stems per acre at
the end of Year 3 of the monitoring period; and at least 260, five-year-old, planted stems per acre that
must average six feet in height at the end of Year 5 of the monitoring period. The final vegetative
restoration success criteria will be achieving a density of no less than 210, seven-year-old planted stems
per acre that must average eight feet in height in Year 7 of monitoring.
1.3.5 Visual Assessment
WLS will conduct visual assessments in support of mitigation performance monitoring. Visual assessments
of all stream reaches will be conducted twice per monitoring year with at least five months in between
each site visit for each of the seven years of monitoring. Photographs will be used to visually document
system performance and any areas of concern related to streambank and bed stability, condition of in-
stream structures, channel migration, active headcuts, live stake mortality, invasive plant species or animal
browsing, easement boundary encroachments, cattle exclusion fence damage, and general streambed
conditions. Permanent photo points will be at the cross-sections, culvert crossings, and Enhancement II
reaches.

2.2 Design Approach
2.2.1 Stream
The Project stream design approach included a combination of Stream Restoration, Enhancement, and
Preservation activities. Priority Level I Restoration reaches incorporated the design of a single-thread
meandering channel and headwater stream valley, with parameters based on data taken from reference
site comparison, published empirical relationships, NC Piedmont Regional Curves, and hydrologic and
hydraulic analyses. The restoration of planform and dimension, frequent overbank flows and a restored
riparian buffer will provide the appropriate hydrology and sediment transport throughout the project
6
catchments. All non-vegetated areas within the easement were planted with native vegetation and any
areas of invasive species were removed and/or treated.
• Reach UT1-R1 – Reach UT1-R1 begins at the Project limits flowing northwest to reach UT1-R2
totaling 2,131 linear feet of Priority Level I and Headwater restoration. The restoration of UT1-R1
ends near the field edge as the valley turns northeast towards the Neuse River. At this location,
the channel gradually transitions into a single-thread channel and the ditch that flows offsite was
plugged to the property line.
• Reach UT1-R2 – Reach UT1-R2 begins downstream of UT1-R1 and flows northeast to the limits of
the Project. UT1-R2 totals 2,007 linear feet of Priority Level I restoration. Restoration included
excavating a new single-thread channel and plugging adjacent ditches to improve hydrological
function and hyporheic zone interaction.
• Reach UT2-R1 (upper) – UT2-R1 is a perennial stream that begins at a spring head within a mature
forested area. The existing headwater stream and wetland system is higher functioning with a
mature riparian buffer due to minimal historic impacts. UT2-R1 (upper) totals 228 linear feet of
Preservation.
• Reach UT2-R1 (lower) – UT2-R1 (lower) was graded to the natural valley topography from its
existing channelized condition. UT2-R1 (lower) is a mix of Priority Level I and Headwater
restoration of 615 linear feet. The valley bottom was graded to restore the natural
microtopographic variability that is common within headwater systems. The system will be
allowed to maintain a small pilot channel or multi-thread channels and diffuse flow paths.
• Reach UT2-R2 – The restoration of UT2-R2 ties into UT2-R3 as the valley turns to the north
towards the Neuse River. Restoration of UT2-R2 included 1,151 linear feet of Priority Level I and
II single-thread channel restoration.
• Reach UT2-R3 – UT2-R3 includes 1,923 linear feet of Enhancement Level II along the downstream
wooded section. A riparian buffer was planted along the left bank greater than 50 feet wide and
an abandoned culverted crossing was removed to restore a more natural flow path. In-stream
grade control structures were strategically placed along the lower portion to help protect the
existing mussel communities and maintain overbank flooding.
• Reach UT2A – UT2A is graded to the natural valley topography from its existing channelized
condition. UT2A is a mix of Priority I and headwater restoration totaling 615 linear feet. UT2A
starts at the Project limits and flows northeast to the confluence with UT2-R1 (lower).
• Reach UT2B – UT2B is a perennial stream flowing from a man-made pond upstream of the Project
to the confluence of UT2-R2 and UT2-R3. UT2B comprises 257 linear feet of Preservation due to
the stable condition and a mature riparian buffer.

2.2.2 Wetland
• Riparian Wetland Restoration (W2a, W3a, and W4a) - Wetland areas W2a, W3a, and W4a
contain soil conditions favorable for both rehabilitating and re-establishing wetlands. As a direct
result of implementing a Priority Level I restoration, ditch plugging, limited soil manipulation (less
than one-foot depth), and revegetation, the wetland hydrology will be restored and allow the
areas to regain their aquatic functions. An overbank flooding regime will be restored throughout
these areas by raising the stream bed elevation to reconnect the floodplain. WLS compared
monitoring data from successful stream and wetland restoration projects in similar headwater
valleys within the same or similar soil types over the past decade, and expects these areas will
experience seasonal wetness for prolonged periods and conditions are favorable to support
appropriate wetland hydrology.
• Riparian Wetland Enhancement (W3 and W4) - As described above, restoration activities include
ditch plugging, minimal grading and blending of microtopography, to provide significant
functional uplift across the project area. This approach will also improve and enhance the
hyporheic zone interaction and hydrology to existing wetland areas W3 and W4. Wetland
enhancement areas were planted with native wet tolerant species. The restoration of the stream
channels will improve areas of adjacent wetlands through higher water table conditions (elevated
stream profile) and a more frequent over-bank flooding regime.
• Riparian Wetland Preservation (W1 and W2) - W2 is an existing riparian wetland system that
begins at a spring head within a mature forested area and W1 is a jurisdictional wetland in a
mature forested area adjacent to Reach UT2-R3. The existing stream and wetland complex is
forested, stable, and undisturbed. These existing headwater stream and wetland systems are
higher functioning with mature riparian buffer due to minimal historic impacts. The wetland
preservation area is protected in perpetuity through a permanent conservation easement. This
approach extends the wildlife corridor throughout the entire riparian valley, while providing a
hydrologic connection and critical habitat linkage within the catchment area.
3 Monitoring Year 1 Assessment and Results
The dates of Year 1 monitoring activities are detailed in Appendix A, Table 2. All Year 1 monitoring data is
presented in this report and in the appendices. The Project is on track for meeting stream and vegetation
interim success criteria. All monitoring device locations are depicted on the CCPV (Figures 1a and 1b).
3.1 Morphological Assessment
3.1.1 Stream Horizontal Pattern & Longitudinal Profile
Visual assessment was utilized for assessment of MY1 horizontal and vertical stream stability. The visual
assessments for each stream reach document MY1 stream channel pattern and longitudinal profiles, and
in-stream structure location/function, which align with the profile design parameters and MY0/baseline
conditions (Appendix D). The MY1 planform geometry and dimensions fall within acceptable ranges of the
design parameters for all restored reaches. Minor channel adjustments in riffle slopes, pool depths and
pattern were observed based on appropriate sediment transport and stream bank vegetation
establishment.
8
Two potential isolated stream problem areas were identified during the visual assessment and are noted
on the CCPV map (Figure 1a). Minor erosion is occurring around a log-weir on UT1-R1 at approximate
station 30 + 90. Also, an area of minor bank erosion is occurring on UT1-R2 at approximate station 40 +
25 where overland flow originating from wetland W4 and W4a is entering the stream. Neither issues affect
the overall stability of the reach and will be monitored closely during MY2. Remedial action will be taken
if necessary and will be noted in future reports. In the interim, additional livestakes will be installed at
both these locations.
WLS staff noted beaver activity on the lower 100 feet of UT1-R2. During MY1, three small dams were
removed on this lower portion. Beaver activity is also occurring on the lower portion of UT2-R2 at the
confluence of UT2-R3. WLS staff have removed one dam structure from UT2-R3. Beaver impacts to the
site were minimal during MY1 and did not negatively affect stream pattern and profile or vegetation on
either reach. WLS will continue to monitor these areas closely and any remedial action taken during MY2
will be noted in future reports.
3.1.2 Stream Horizontal Dimension
The MY1 channel dimensions generally match the design parameters and are within acceptable and stable
ranges of tolerance. Five of the 11 cross-sections are located in headwater restoration reaches and the
remaining six cross-sections are located in Priority I/II single-thread restoration channels. All six of the PI/II
cross-sections show little to no change in the bankfull area and bank height ratios are less than 1.2. It is
expected that over time that some pools may accumulate fine sediment and organic matter; however,
this is not an indicator of channel instability. Maximum riffle depths are also expected to fluctuate slightly
throughout the monitoring period as the channels adjust to the new flow regime and catchment
conditions. Headwater cross-sections are expected to fluctuate throughout the initial monitoring years 1-
4 as the headwater streams exhibit channel formation.
3.2 Stream Hydrology
3.2.1 Stream Flow
The flow gauges on UT1-R2 and UT2-R2 document that the stream exhibited surface flow for a minimum
of 30 consecutive days throughout the monitoring year (Appendix E, Figure 2). Additionally, to determine
if rainfall amounts are normal for the given year, precipitation data was obtained from the onsite rain
gauge, installed near UT2-R2.
3.2.2 Bankfull Events
During MY1, bankfull events were recorded on both pressure transducers (and the associated crest
gauges). UT1-R2 gauge recorded 13 events with a maximum event of 1.7 feet above bankfull elevation
occurring on September 5, 2020. UT2-R2 gauge recorded six events with a maximum event of 1.5 feet
above bankfull occurring on April 30, 2020. The associated data is in Appendix E.
3.2.3 Headwater Stream Channel Formation
During MY1, streams UT1-R1, UT2-R1 and UT2A all exhibited evidence indicative of channel formation
within the topographic low-point of the valley. UT1-R1 and UT2-R1 are exhibiting scour throughout the
reach, sediment deposition and sorting in the channel, wrack lines and presence of litter and debris is
occurring, and the stream has exhibited multiple flow events documented through the installed flow
gauge on the upper third of the reach. UT2A exhibited observable flow during staff visits, destruction of
vegetation and an observable flow path throughout the low-point of the valley.

3.2.4 Wetland Hydrology
Data for the eight groundwater wells installed is available in Appendix E. Seven out of the eight wells are
in creditable wetland areas, and the remaining well (Groundwater Well 1) is adjacent to UT1-R2 to
document fluctuations in the hyporheic zone and is not documenting a wetland area. The seven wetland
groundwater wells are all meeting the wetland saturation thresholds of 12 to 16 percent. Groundwater
well locations are shown on Figures 1a and 1b.
3.3 Vegetation
Monitoring of the 24 permanent vegetation plots was completed during the last week of October 2020.
Vegetation data can be found in Appendix C with the associated photos located in Appendix B. The MY1
average planted density is 641 stems per acre, which exceeds the interim measure of vegetative success
of at least 320 planted stems per acre at the end of the third monitoring year. All the vegetation plots met
the interim measure of success for stems per acre. Volunteer species were not noted in MY1 but are
expected to establish in upcoming years.
Visual assessment of vegetation outside of the monitoring plots indicates that the herbaceous vegetation
is becoming well established throughout the project.
A significant population of privet (Ligustrum sinense) was located along the headwater restoration portion
of UT1-R1 prior to construction. Construction activities removed the existing privet within the easement,
and no additional privet treatments were necessary during MY1. This area will be closely monitored during
MY2, and re-sprouts will be treated as needed to prevent further establishment. During MY1 monitoring
activities, WLS staff noted the presence of small isolated populations of common cattail (Typha latifolia)
on the project site. There are no adverse effects associated with the cattail. WLS staff will treat cattails
during the appropriate treatment window during MY2. Any subsequent vegetation management for
problem or invasive species will be included in the MY2 report.
4 Methods
Stream cross-section monitoring was conducted using a Topcon RL-H5 Laser Level. Morphological data
were collected at 11 cross-sections. Survey data were imported into Microsoft Excel® for data processing
and analysis. The stage recorders include an automatic pressure transducer (HOBO Water Level (13 ft)
Logger) set in PVC piping in the channel. The elevation of the bed and top of bank at each stage recorder
location was recorded to be able to document presence of water in the channel and out of bank events.
Visual observations (i.e. wrack or debris lines) and traditional cork crest gauges were also used to
document out of bank events.
Vegetation success is being monitored at a total of 24 permanent vegetation plots. 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 are processed using the
CVS data entry tool. In the field, the four corners of each plot were permanently marked with PVC at the
origin and rebar at the other corners. Tree species and height will be recorded for each planted stem and
photos of each plot are to be taken from the origin each monitoring year.

These meeting minutes document notes and discussion points from the North Carolina Interagency
Review Team (NCIRT) As-Built Baseline Virtual Site Meeting for the Hollowell Mitigation Project (Neuse
River Basin, CU 03020201, Warm Water Thermal Regime). Water & Land Solutions, LLC (WLS) submitted
an As-Built Baseline Monitoring Report on July 2nd, 2020 and the virtual site visit was held on July 28th,
2020. The meeting began with a general summary of the overall project construction and discussion of
the story map. These meeting minutes proceed in order of discussion.
1. Erin Davis noted that Sheet 12 BMPs on UT2-R2 were modified from the proposed design. Kayne
VanStell explained this was a field modification based on observed ditch flow and water surface elevations
and changed from two BMPs to one BMP at Station 24+00.
2. Erin Davis noted that Sheets 3-5 on UT1-R1 showed that the channel was deeper than proposed. Kayne
VanStell explained there was slight vertical exaggeration on the plans, but there also was a survey
adjustment (~0.17’) to the vertical datum prior to construction.
3. Erin Davis asked if the flow gauge on UT1-R1 was in a pool. Daniel Ingram stated that it is immediately
downstream of a log grade control structure. Kim Browning noted that flow gauges should not be in a
waterlandsolutions.com | 7721 Six Forks Rd, Ste 130, Raleigh, NC 27615 | 919-614-5111
pool for single-thread channels. Daniel Ingram noted that the flow gauges are in pools, but the elevation
of the pressure transducer and elevation of downstream riffle is surveyed; therefore, the flow is calculated
over the riffle. WLS will include a diagram and measurement of the flow gauges in all future monitoring
reports. Todd Tugwell requested to recalibrate the top of riffle annually and include notes about the riffle
material.
4. Todd Tugwell stated that the pilot channel on headwater reach UT1-R1 seemed large for a channel
constructed as a headwater reach. Kayne VanStell stated the headwater approach was built according to
the mitigation plan and typical headwater valley section, and the channel dimensions will adjust as
vegetation becomes established.
5. Todd Tugwell asked if there were groundwater gauges in the headwater reaches. WLS responded that
there are not groundwater gauges in the headwater reaches. Todd Tugwell noted that WLS might have to
put groundwater gauges in the headwater channels based on field observation and documenting the
stream and wetland complex interaction.
6. Erin Davis asked for a redline vegetation table in the as-built and also noted that there was not a planting
list provided with quantities and species. This was an oversight and WLS has attached the planting list to
this memo.
7. Kim Browning requested a site visit in the fall and Travis Wilson requested a site visit also. Sam Dailey
said she would coordinate with the IRT.
8. Todd Bowers had concerns about the lack of flow and the riffles dry rotting in UT1. Kayne VanStell
responded that UT1 has intermittent flow regime and expect seasonal flow variability. WLS will monitor
flow duration and does not have concerns about meeting this performance standard (30 consecutive days
of flow).
9. Todd Bowers asked about the bank name, and WLS stated that it is an umbrella bank with one site. The
full name is WLS Neuse 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank, Hollowell Mitigation Site. This will be corrected in
future monitoring reports.
10. Todd Tugwell asked about the stream credits in Appendix A - Table 1 (mitigation plan vs. as-built
credits). It was reiterated to base the stream credits off the mitigation plan unless there were deviations
to the plans. Table 1 in Appendix A does calculate the credits from the mitigation plan and Table 1 in the
Baseline Report is also based on the mitigation plan.
