11/13/2O18).
The Issue date has been added to the Cover Page.
General/Table 1 Asset Map:The proposed mitigation assets on the project are atypical due to the exclusion of
potential wetland assets.DMS understands that this is an effort to utilize the wider buffer tool for additional stream
credits and to satisfy the amended DMS contract.The proposed creditable wetland areas are currently only shown
on the Monitoring Plan figure (Figure 10). The plan sheets have all of the information but do not specify where
credits will be garnered.The Monitoring Plan figure has all assets but no labels to identify streams and it appears
that the credited wetland re-establishment and non-credited wetland rehabilitation may overlap in a few areas. In
addition,Figure 10 is difficult to interpret due to multiple overlays.DMS recommends a standalone mitigation asset
map to coincide with Table 1 for clarity of the proposed project assets.The Table 1 footnotes should be updated
accordingly to reference the stand alone project asset map.
Figure 6D(Asset Map) has been added to the list of figures and the footnote for Table 1 has been updated.
General: Please ensure nomenclature is uniform throughout document.Wetland enhancement and wetland
rehabilitation are different mitigation approaches.Wetland restoration should be referred to as wetland re-
establishment throughout the document to avoid confusion.
Wetland restoration has been changed to reestablishment throughout the document.
General; Section 3.4.1; Figure 4;Appendix B:The existing conditions channel morphology information should be
accompanied by the location of data collection. Cross sections should be spatially located on existing conditions
map or a separate map (if necessary).The cross sections are mislabeled as"Phantom Mill"in the Appendix B index.
Please review and update as necessary.
Figure B1 (Cross Section Locations) has been added to Appendix B. In addition, the Appendix B index has been
suitably updated.
Table 1:Stream credits for the project are in the"Cold"thermal regime. Please update the table accordingly.

Section 3 - Baseline and Existing Conditions: Consider adding a section for geology and include discussion of
geological factors and controls present at the site.
A section for geology(Section 3.2) has been added to the document.The section includes the following text. "The
Site is located within the Blue Ridge Belt,or more specifically the Ashe Metamorphic Suite which consists of heated
and deformed (metamorphic) volcanic rocks, specifically Muscovite and biotite gneiss. The Ashe Metamorphic
Suite formed from layers of sediment mixed with volcanic ash and lava flows which were deposited on the ocean
floor between the Piedmont and Avalon Terranes. These materials underwent a series of at least three major
episodes of thrusting and faulting of rocks to its present configuration
Several areas of the Site exhibit bedrock contact; however,contact is confined to incised stream channels that will
be backfilled.The proposed stream channels will be tied into the bedrock were feasible to hinder headcut migration
through the Site.The Site is an alluvial valley that is characterized by relatively deep deposits; therefore, bedrock
is not expected to pose as a hindrance to channel excavation."
Section 3.5.2:There is a minor typo in the section;the"Nikwasi"soil series is misspelled in the section. Please QA/
QC and correct throughout the document as necessary.
Nikwasa has been changed to Nikwasi throughout the document.
Section 5-Page 18(text refereeing to Table 12):"Proposed stream power and shear stress values appear adequate
to mobilize and transport sediment through the Site,without aggradation or erosion on proposed stream banks."
DMS requires a more confident approach from RS regarding stream power and shear stress values. "Appearing"to
be adequate does not indicate the level of detail expected for designing streams and does not provide the
confidence that DMS requires. DMS expects solid statements regarding design variables and choices to be
presented in the mitigation plan. Please revise as necessary.
The term "appear" has been changed to"are".
Additionally, RS does not refer to sediment size distribution in the document. While stream power and shear are
informative,these values cannot be fully evaluated relative to sediment size distribution information. Please add a
brief discussion or table to indicate mobile sediment relative to stream power/stress for each reach or a discussion
that addresses the intent and relevance of values.
Stream capacity and competence calculations are not typically conducted for incised and impacted streams.
Calculations on incised/impacted channels would lead to elevated values that are not useful for channel design.
Stream power and shear stress have been used instead to compare the impacted streams with reference and
proposed stream channels.
Section 5.2(Page 18): "Discharge estimates for the Site utilize an assumed definition of"bankfull" and the return
interval associated with that bankfull discharge." This sentence does not make sense given the sentence that follows
where the bankfull definition is provided. Please revise as necessary.
The first sentence of this paragraph has been removed.
Section 5.2(Page 19):"Therefore,designed on-site channel restoration area will equal to approximately85 percent
of the..." Revise sentence for correct structure. Does RS have estimated BF discharge for each reach proposed for
treatment? If so, please provide that detail in a table.
The sentence has been adjusted by removing the word "to". A sentence has also been added that individual
bankfull discharges by reach are included in Table B1(Appendix B).
Section 7 Site Design and Implementation Constraints:Does RS believe there is a risk of hydrologic trespass outside
of the conservation easement post construction? Please respond and address in the report text accordingly.
A brief discussion of hydrologic trespass has been added including the following text."Due to steep slopes,confined
valleys, and the excavation of benches at the upper reaches of Fork Creek hydrologic trespass will not be an issue
at the Site.Wider buffers have been acquired that encompass the entire floodplain. In addition,the property was
purchased fee simple and an easement placed within the property boundaries,thereby alleviating lateral trespass
issues."

Section 8.2 Planting Plan:The plan notes potential areas of herbaceous dominated wetlands and references Figure
9. Figure 9 displays several "Fresh Water Marsh" areas. Recommend updating the section text to call these fresh
water marsh areas or update the figure to call these areas herbaceous dominated wetlands for consistency.
Figure 9 has been changed to read Herbaceous Dominated Wetlands.
Table 18:Green ash is not currently listed in the proposed species to be planted.The IRT has requested that Green
Ash account for no more than 5%of the planted species on the site. Please keep this in mind if proposed species
are unavailable or substitutions are made during the planting effort.
Understood.
Section 8-Planting Plan & Nuisance Species Management:Section 3.5.3 notes that the site is currently primarily
vegetated with fescue. In the revised report, please note how fescue will be treated during construction and post
construction (if necessary).This has been an IRT concern on recent DMS projects.
A section for fescue and opportunistic herbaceous species treatment has been added to Section 8.
Section 9-Monitoring and Success Criteria: Please consider utilizing the most recent DMS templates and guidance
for the as-built survey;record drawings;MY0 report and future monitoring reports(MY1-MY7).These templates and
guidance were updated in October 2020 and are available on the DMS website here:
https://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/mitigation-services/dms- vendors/rfp-forms-templates Please update the
report text and references accordingly.
We are happy to use the requested template.
Section 9 - Monitoring and Success Criteria: Does RS believe that the potential development of herbaceous
dominated wetlands/fresh water marsh areas necessitate a variance to the project's standard vegetation success
criteria? Please respond and update the mitigation plan as necessary.
The inclusion of the herbaceous dominated wetlands results from WRC comments during the IRT walkthrough. No
special vegetative monitoring requirements are proposed in these areas.
Section 9 Monitoring and Success Criteria:Per RFP 16-007725;"Each annual monitoring report must be submitted
to the DMS by December 1st of the year during which the monitoring was conducted." Please update this section
text accordingly.
The text has been updated accordingly.
Section 9.2 Contingency: Conservation easement encroachment has been an issue on other DMS sites. Does RS
foresee easement encroachment as a potential issue on the project site and if it occurs, how will it be resolved.
Please also describe the site specific conservation easement marking and/or type of fencing that will be utilized to
mark the site and restrict potential encroachment.
A section discussing easement encroachment was added under 9.2 Contingency
Maps&Appendices: Please review the Appendices and Maps submitted for continuity and accuracy.There appear
to be redundancy between maps and information presented in Appendix A and Appendix L.
We acknowledge the duplication of data between Appendix A-Figures and Appendix L-Construction Documents.
Specifically,regarding the Typical Structure Details(Figures 8A-8C,and Planting Plan(Figure 9). In future Mitigation
Plans, RS will not include structure details within the mitigation plan's Appendix A. However, figures such as the
Planting Plan and Monitoring Devices are georeferenced figures used by project managers and sub-consultants
during construction, planting, and establishment of monitoring devices. These are key, site-wide figures, and we
believe they should be included for easy reference during the IRT's review of the Mitigation Plan.
Appendix A— Cover: Please QA/QC and correct the cover sheet. Cedarock does not appear to be an applicable
reference site for this project but is identified in the cover sheet. In addition,figure 5C is not an included figure.
Appendix A cover has been updated.
Figures: If contours are included on maps; please note contour interval in the legend.
Contour intervals have been added to the legend of applicable figures.
Page 3 of 4

Figure#s 6A,6B,6C(Mitigation Plan): The legends indicate log cross vanes and log vanes,but they are not shown
on maps. Please revise accordingly to show proposed structure placement.
Structures have been removed from the legend for Figures 6A—6C.
Figure 9—Planting Plan:The figure legend should be updated to identify the planting zones shown on the figure.
Unnecessary legend items should be removed. Please apply the same comment to Plan Sheet # L5.00 (Planting
Plan).Will the proposed fresh water marsh areas have a separate planting scheme or will they be planted the same
as adjacent"blue"areas. Please update the figures accordingly.
The legend for Figure 9 has been corrected to include planting zones,with extraneous information removed.
Figure 10 — Monitoring Plan: DMS recommends including proposed photo point locations on the proposed
monitoring features map. Photo points should also be referenced in the report monitoring plan (Section 9). In
addition,photo points should be included at culvert crossing locations per recent NCIRT requests.
A note was added to Figure 10 stating the following."Note:Permanent photo documentation points will be located
at the origin of each vegetation plot,at each cross section,and at each culverted crossing."
Appendix B—Cover: Please update.The appendix cover references the Phantom Mill site.
The Appendix B cover sheet has been updated.
Appendix E: DMS recommends deleting non critical portions of the EDR report to reduce the document size.The
maps and finding summaries of the EDR report should be sufficient.
Non-essential portions of the EDR report have been removed.
Appendix G—Financial Assurance:The following language should be included in the appendix; "Pursuant to Section
IV H and Appendix III of the NCDEQ DMS(formerly Ecosystem Enhancement Program)In-Lieu Fee Instrument dated
July 28, 2010, the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) has provided the USACE-
Wilmington District with a formal commitment to fund projects to satisfy mitigation requirements assumed by
NCDEQ DMS. This commitment provides financial assurance for all mitigation projects implemented by the
program."The RFP performance bonding language can be removed.
Appendix G language was removed and replaced with the wording provided above.
Drafts 60%Plan Sheets:
Sheet C1.02: Please label wetlands and stream crossings.
Wetlands and stream crossings have been labeled.
Sheet C5.01: Please label road crossing at the proposed bottomless span.
Fork Creek road crossing has been labeled in the plan and profile view.
Sheet C8.05: In-stream step pool detail-57 stone is specified as the vane arm backfill.Consider using a coarser
material to minimize scour potential.
Step Pool detail has been revised to spec Class'A'or equivalent sized native channel material as vane arm backfill.
Plan and Profile Sheets: Stream Confluences—Per recent IRT requests, please verify that credited stream
footages for the tributaries stop at the top of bank of the receiving stream.
This has been verified.
DRAFT Electronic Support Files:
Please verify that Wetland P is a linear wetland with no defined channel connecting UT5—A and UT5—B.
This has been verified during the approved PJD process.

1. PROJECT INTRODUCTION
The Laurel Springs Stream & Wetland Mitigation Site (hereafter referred to as the "Site") encompasses
29.19 acres of disturbed forest and livestock pasture along cold water Fork Creek and unnamed tributaries
to Fork Creek. The Site is located 8 miles southwest of Linville and 7 miles northeast of Spruce Pine in
southern Avery County(Figures 1 and 2, Appendix A).
1,1 Directions to Site
Directions to the Site from Boone, North Carolina.
• Take NC-105 South and travel 16.9 miles,
• Turn right onto US-221 South,then stay left on US-221 South,
• After 9.3 miles,turn right on NC-194 South,
• After 2.3 miles,turn right onto Little Buck Hill Creek Road,
• The Site is on the right after approximately 0.6 mile.
o Site Latitude, Longitude
35.99132N, 81.98372W (WGS84)
1,2 USGS Hydrologic Unit Code and NCDWR River Basin Designation
The Site is located within the French Broad River Basin in 14-digit United States Geological Survey(USGS)
Cataloging Unit and Targeted Local Watershed 06010108010020 of the Tennessee Region (North Carolina
Division of Water Resources [NCDWR] subbasin number 04-03-06) [Figures 1 and 2, Appendix A]). Site
hydrology drains to cold water Fork Creek and unnamed tributaries to Fork Creek(Stream Index Numbers
7-2-25-1-(1) & 7-2-25-1-(2)), which have been assigned Best Usage Classifications of C; Tr & WS-IV; Tr,
respectively (NCDWR 2013). Fork Creek is not listed on the NCDENR final 2016 or draft 2018 303(d) lists
(NCDEQ 2018a, NCDEQ 2018b).
1,3 Physiography and Land Use
The Site is located in the Southern Crystalline Ridge and Mountains Ecoregion of the Blue Ridge
Physiographic Province within Avery County, North Carolina. Regional physiography is characterized by
low to high mountains, gently rounded to steep slopes, narrow valleys, and high gradient, bedrock/
boulder-bottomed cool, clear streams (Griffith et al. 2002). On-site elevations range from a high of 3076
feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) at to a low of 2912 feet NGVD (USGS Linville Falls, North
Carolina 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle) (Figures 1 and 3, Appendix A).
The Site provides water quality functions to an approximately 1.32-square mile (846.7-acre)watershed at
the outfall; Site tributary watershed sizes range from 0.02-0.30 square miles (11.9-193.4 acres) (Figure 3,
Appendix A). The watershed is dominated by pasture, forest, and sparse residential development.
Impervious surfaces account for less than 2 percent of the upstream watershed land surface.
Land use at the Site is characterized by disturbed forest and livestock pasture. Riparian zones are primarily
composed of herbaceous vegetation that is sparse and disturbed due to livestock grazing, bush hogging,
and regular land-management activities.
1.4 Project Components and Structure
The Site encompasses 29.19 acres of disturbed forest and livestock pasture along the cold water Fork
Creek and unnamed tributaries to Fork Creek. In its current state, the Site includes 6325 linear feet of
degraded stream channel (based on the approved PJD), 2.61 acre of degraded wetland, 8.3 acres of
drained hydric soil (Figure 4,Appendix A).
Mitigation Plan(Project No.100122) page 1
Laurel Springs Stream and Wetland Restoration Site Restoration Systems,LLC
Avery County,North Carolina December 2020

Proposed Site restoration activities include the construction of meandering, E/C-type stream channel in
flat floodplain areas and B-type channels on steep slopes, resulting in 3296 linear feet of Priority I stream
restoration,274 linear feet of stream enhancement(Level I),446 linear feet of stream enhancement(Level
II), 1245 linear feet of stream preservation, 7.656 acres of riparian wetland re-establishment, 1.993 acres
of riparian wetland rehabilitation, and 0.198 acres of riparian wetland preservation (Table 1) (Figures 6A-
6C,Appendix A).
Completed project activities, reporting history, completion dates, project contacts, and background
information are summarized in Tables 1-4.

2 WATERSHED APPROACH AND SITE SELECTION
Primary considerations for Site selection included the potential for water quality improvement within a
region of North Carolina under livestock/agricultural pressure. More specifically, considerations included:
desired aquatic resource functions; hydrologic conditions; soil characteristics; aquatic habitat diversity;
habitat connectivity; compatibility with adjacent land uses; reasonably foreseeable effects the mitigation
project will have on ecologically important aquatic and terrestrial resources; and potential development
trends and land use changes.
Currently, the proposed Site is characterized by disturbed forest and livestock pasture. A summary of
existing Site characteristics in favor of proposed stream and wetland activities includes the following.
Mitigation Plan(Project No.100122) page 7
Laurel Springs Stream and Wetland Restoration Site Restoration Systems,LLC
Avery County,North Carolina December 2020

• Streams and wetlands are accessible to livestock
• Stream banks are trampled by livestock
• Streams and wetlands have been cleared of forest vegetation
• The Site receives nonpoint source inputs, including agricultural chemicals and livestock waste
• Wetland soils have been compacted by livestock and agricultural equipment
• Wetland hydrology has been removed by stream channel entrenchment
• Streams are classified as Trout waters
In addition to the opportunity for ecological improvements at the Site,the use of the particular mitigation
activities and methods proposed in the Design Approach & Mitigation Work Plan (Section 8.0) are
expected to produce naturalized stream and wetland resources that will be ecologically self-sustaining,
requiring minimal long-term management (Long-term Management Plan [Section 11.0]).

3.2 Geology
The Site is located within the Blue Ridge Belt, or more specifically the Ashe Metamorphic Suite which
consists of heated and deformed (metamorphic)volcanic rocks, specifically Muscovite and biotite gneiss.
The Ashe Metamorphic Suite formed from layers of sediment mixed with volcanic ash and lava flows
which were deposited on the ocean floor between the Piedmont and Avalon Terranes. These materials
underwent a series of at least three major episodes of thrusting and faulting of rocks to its present
configuration
Several areas of the Site exhibit bedrock contact; however, contact is confined to incised stream channels
that will be backfilled.The proposed stream channels will be tied into the bedrock were feasible to hinder

headcut migration through the Site. The Site is an alluvial valley that is characterized by relatively deep
deposits; therefore, bedrock is not expected to pose as a hindrance to channel excavation.
3.3 Sediment Model
Sediment load modeling was performed using methodologies outlined in A Practical Method of Computing
Streambank Erosion Rate(Rosgen 2009)along with Estimating Sediment Loads using the Bank Assessment
of Non-point Sources Consequences of Sediment (Rosgen 2011). These models provide a quantitative
prediction of streambank erosions by calculating Bank Erosion Hazard Index (BEHI) and Near-Bank Stress
(NBS) along each Site reach. The resulting BEHI and NBS values are then compared to streambank
erodibility graphs prepared for North Carolina by the NC Stream Restoration Institute and NC Sea Grant.
Streambank characteristics involve measurements of bank height, angles, materials, presence of layers,
rooting depth, rooting density,and percent of the bank protected by rocks, logs, roots,or vegetation.Site
reaches have been measured for BEHI and NBS characteristic and predicted lateral erosion rate, height,
and length to calculate a cubic volume of sediment contributed by the reach each year. Data forms for
the analysis are available upon request, and the data output is presented in Appendix B. Results of the
model are shown in the following table.

Based on this analysis, mitigation of Site streams will reduce streambank erosion and subsequent
pollution of receiving waters.
3.4 Nutrient Model
Nutrient modeling was conducted using a method developed by NCDMS (NCDMS 2016) to determine
nutrient and fecal coliform reductions from exclusion of livestock from the buffer.
The equation for nutrient reduction for this model Equations for fecal coliform reduction for this model
includes the following: include the following:
TN reduction (Ibs/yr)=51.04(Ibs/ac/yr)x Area (ac) Fecal coliform reduction (col)=2.2 x 1011
TP reduction (Ibs/yr)=4.23 (Ibs/ac/yr)x Area (ac) (col/AU/day)x AU x 0.085
Where: Where:
TN—total nitrogen; Col-quantities of Fecal Coliform bacteria
TP—total phosphorus; and AU-animal unit(1000 lbs of livestock)
Area—total area of restored riparian buffers inside
of livestock exclusion fences.
Mitigation Plan(Project No.100122) page 10
Laurel Springs Stream and Wetland Restoration Site Restoration Systems,LLC
Avery County,North Carolina December 2020

Results of the NCDMS analysis indicate approximately 1020.8 lbs/yr of nitrogen,84.6 lbs/yr of phosphorus,
and 3.74 x 1011 col of fecal coliform/day will be reduced due to the exclusion of livestock from the
easement area.
3.5 Project Site Streams
Streams targeted for restoration include Fork Creek and unnamed tributaries to Fork Creek, which have
been cleared, moved to the edge of the floodplain, dredged and straightened, trampled by livestock,
eroded vertically and laterally, and receive extensive sediment and nutrient inputs from livestock.
Approximately 47 percent of the existing stream channel has been degraded, contributing to sediment
export from the Site resulting from mechanical processes from livestock hoof shear. In addition,
streamside wetlands have been cleared and drained by channel downcutting, drain tile installation, and
land uses. Current Site conditions have resulted in degraded water quality, a loss of aquatic habitat,
reduced nutrient and sediment retention, and unstable channel characteristics (loss of horizontal flow
vectors that maintain pools and an increase in erosive forces to channel bed and banks). Site restoration
activities will restore riffle-pool morphology, aid in energy dissipation, increase aquatic habitat, stabilize
channel banks, and significantly reduce channel bank sediment loss.
3,5.1 Existing Conditions Survey
Site stream dimension, pattern, and profile were measured to characterize existing channel conditions.
Locations of existing stream reaches are depicted in Figure 4 (Appendix A). Stream geometry
measurements under existing conditions are summarized in Table 8 (Essential Morphology Parameters)
and presented in detail in Table B1 (Appendix B).
3.5.2 Channel Classification and Morphology
Stream geometry and substrate data have been evaluated to classify existing stream conditions based on
a classification utilizing fluvial geomorphic principles (Rosgen 1996). Existing Site reaches are classified as
unstable Cg-, Eg-, and Bg-type streams with variable sinuosity. Existing Site reaches are characterized by
variable substrate ranging from sand substrate due to channel impacts, including livestock trampling,
channel straightening, and riparian vegetation removal.
3.5.3 Channel Evolution
Site streams targeted for restoration have been channelized and are continually trampled by livestock
resulting primarily in channels classified as channelized (Class II), degraded (Class III), and degraded and
widened (Class IV) channels throughout the Site (Simon and Hupp 1986).
3.5.4 Valley Classification
Site Streams are characterized by two distinct valley types: 1) small stream, headwater, moderately
confined to confined, alluvial valleys with approximately 20- to 50-foot floodplain valley widths, and 2)
moderately sized,second-order,wide and flat alluvial valley with approximately 200-foot floodplain valley
width.Valley slopes are typical for the Mountain region and range from 0.0271 on Fork Creek and 0.0291-
0.1047 on UT1-UT3. Typical streams in this region include B-type step/pool streams in the steeply sloped
headwater areas and C- and E-type streams with slightly entrenched, meandering channels with a riffle-
pool sequence within wider,flatter valleys.
3.5.5 Discharge
This hydrophysiographic region is characterized by moderate rainfall, with precipitation averaging
approximately 62.8 inches per year (USDA 2005). Drainage basin sizes range from 0.02- to 0.30-square
mile on UT1-UT4, and 1.32 square miles for Fork Creek.
Mitigation Plan(Project No.100122) page 11
Laurel Springs Stream and Wetland Restoration Site Restoration Systems,LLC
Avery County,North Carolina December 2020

The Site's discharge is dominated by a combination of upstream basin catchment,groundwater flow, and
precipitation. Based on indicators of bankfull at reference reaches and on-site, the designed channel will
equal approximately 85 percent of the channel size indicated by Mountain regional curves (Harman et al.
2001); this is discussed in Section 5.2 (Bankfull Verification). Based on bankfull studies, the bankfull
discharge ranges from 5.4-41.1 cubic feet per second for UT1-UT4 and is 120.6 cubic feet per second for
Fork Creek.
3.6 Project Site Wetlands
Jurisdictional wetlands/hydric soils within the Site were delineated in the field following guidelines set
forth in the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual and subsequent regional supplements and
located using GPS technology with reported submeter accuracy (Environmental Laboratory 1987). A
jurisdictional wetland delineation was completed and verbally approved by the United States Army Corps
of Engineers(USACE)representative Amanda Jones Fuemmeler during a field meeting on October 2,2019.
Written confirmation of the determination is included in Appendix D. Existing jurisdictional wetlands are
depicted in light blue, and drained hydric soils are depicted in a black cross-hatch in Figure 4 (Appendix
A).
3.6.1 Hydrological Characterization
Construction activities are expected to re-establish approximately 7.656 acres of drained riparian hydric
soils, rehabilitate 1.993 acres of riparian wetlands, and preserve 0.198 acres of wooded wetlands. Areas
of the Site targeted for riparian wetlands will receive hydrological inputs from periodic overbank flooding
of restored tributaries, groundwater migration into wetlands, upland/stormwater runoff, and,to a lesser
extent,direct precipitation. Hydrological impairment in drained soils has resulted from lateral draw-down
of the water table adjacent to existing, incised stream channels and drain tile installation.
3.6.2 Soil Characterization
Detailed soil mapping conducted by a North Carolina Licensed Soil Scientist (NCLSS) in August 2019
indicates that the Site is currently underlain by Nikwasi and Reddies soil series (Figure 4, Appendix A).
Nikwasi soils are hydric in nature, and Reddies soils are not hydric. Soils have been disturbed by livestock
grazing and cleared of vegetation within pastureland. Nikwasi soils have been effectively drained by
stream channel incision, relocation of stream channels to the floodplain margins, and drain tile
installation.
On-site hydric soils are grey to gley in color and are compacted and pockmarked by livestock trampling.
Livestock trampling, grazing, and clearing have resulted in an herbaceous vegetative community.
Groundwater springs and surface runoff contribute hydrology to these areas. However, the dominant
hydrological influence is the lateral draw-down of the water table adjacent to incised stream channels or
streams relocated to the floodplain margins. Eight detailed soil profiles conducted by a NCLSS are included
in Appendix B. The location of soil profiles are depicted in Figure 4 (Appendix A). A representative soil
profile for the Nikwasi soil series is provided in Table 9.

4 REFERENCE STUDIES
4.1 Reference Streams
Distinct bankfull indicators were present within the reference stream channels. In addition, dimension,
pattern, and profile variables have not been altered or degraded, allowing for assistance with the
proposed restoration reaches (Figure 5A-B, Appendix A).
4.1.1 Stone Mountain Reference Reach
4.1.1.1 Watershed Characterization
Stone Mountain is located in northern Wilkes County in Stone Mountain State Park, approximately 53
miles northeast of the Site. Alterations, development, and impervious surfaces within the watershed are
minimal.
4.1.1.2 Channel Classification
Stream geometry and substrate data have been evaluated to classify the reference reach based on a
classification utilizing fluvial geomorphic principles (Rosgen 1996a). This classification stratifies streams
into comparable groups based on pattern,dimension, profile,and substrate characteristics.The reference
reach is characterized as a Cb-type, low sinuosity (1.08) channel with a cobble-dominated substrate. Cb-
type streams are characterized as slightly to moderately entrenched, riffle-pool channels exhibiting a
moderate to high width-depth ratio. Cb-type streams often occur in narrower valleys with moderately-
developed alluvial floodplains.
4.1.1.3 Discharge
The reference stream has an approximately 7.5-square mile watershed and a bankfull discharge of 271.7
cubic feet per second based on bankfull indicators.
4.1.1.4 Channel Morphology
Stream cross-sections and profiles were measured along the reference stream (Figure 5A, Appendix A).
The stream reach is transporting its sediment supply while maintaining a stable dimension, pattern, and
profile. Stream geometry measurements for the reference stream are summarized in the Morphological
Stream Characteristics Table (Table 8).
Mitigation Plan(Project No.100122) page 14
Laurel Springs Stream and Wetland Restoration Site Restoration Systems,LLC
Avery County,North Carolina December 2020

Dimension: Data collected at the reference reach indicates a bankfull cross-sectional area of 46.0 square
feet,a bankfull width of 30.1 feet,a bankfull depth of 1.6 feet,and a width-to-depth ratio of 20.0. Regional
curves predict that the stream should exhibit a bankfull cross-sectional area of approximately 85.0 square
feet for the approximate 7.5-square mile watershed (Harman et al. 2001), slightly above the 46.0-square
feet displayed by channel bankfull indicators identified in the field. For a more detailed discussion on
bankfull verification, see Section 5.2 (Bankfull Verification).
The reference reach exhibits a bank-height ratio averaging 1.3, which is slightly high for a stable Cb-type
channel. In addition, the width of the flood-prone area is approximately 100 feet giving the channel an
entrenchment ratio of 3.0 to 3.7, typical of a stable C-type channel.
Pattern: In-field measurements of the reference reach have yielded an average sinuosity of 1.2 (thalweg
distance/straight-line distance).Other channel pattern attributes include an average pool-to-pool spacing
ratio (Lp-p/Wbkf) of 3.5, a meander wavelength ratio (Lm/Wbkf) of 6.6, and a radius of curvature ratio
(Rc/Wbkf) of 3.1. These variables were measured within a stable, forested reach, which did not exhibit
any indications of pattern instability such as shoot cutoffs, abandoned channels, or oxbows.
Profile: Based on elevational profile surveys, the reference reach is characterized by a valley slope of
0.0131 (rise/run). Ratios of the reference reach riffle, run, pool and glide slopes to average water surface
slope are 0.98, 0.80, 0.70, and 0.34, respectively.
Substrate: The channel is characterized by a channel substrate dominated by cobble-sized particles.
4.1.2 Cranberry Creek Reference Reach
4.1.2.1 Watershed Characterization
Cranberry Creek is located approximately 6 miles east of the Site, in Burke County. Alterations,
development, and impervious surfaces within the watershed are minimal.
4.1.2.2 Channel Classification
The reference reach is characterized as an E-type, low sinuosity (1.04) channel with a cobble-dominated
substrate. E-type streams are characterized as slightly entrenched, riffle-pool channels. In North Carolina,
E-type streams often occur in narrow to wide valleys with well-developed alluvial floodplains (Valley Type
VIII). E-type channels are typically considered stable; however, these streams are sensitive to upstream
drainage basin changes and/or channel disturbance and may rapidly convert to other stream types.
4.1.2.3 Discharge
The reference stream has an approximately 0.7-square mile watershed and a bankfull discharge of 103.5
cubic feet per second based on bankfull indicators.
4.1.2.4 Channel Morphology
Stream cross-sections and profiles were measured along the reference stream (Figure 5B, Appendix A).
The stream reach is transporting its sediment supply while maintaining a stable dimension, pattern, and
profile. Stream geometry measurements for the reference stream are summarized in the Morphological
Stream Characteristics Table (Table 8).
Dimension: Data collected at the reference reach indicates a bankfull cross-sectional area of 20.2 square
feet, a bankfull width of 12.5 feet, a bankfull depth of 1.6 feet, and a width-to-depth ratio of 7.8. Regional
curves predict that the stream should exhibit a bankfull cross-sectional area of approximately 17.4 square

feet for the approximate 0.7-square mile watershed (Harman et al. 2001), slightly below the 20.2-square
feet displayed by channel bankfull indicators identified in the field. For a more detailed discussion on
bankfull verification, see Section 5.2 (Bankfull Verification).
The reference reach exhibits a bank-height ratio of 1.0,which is representative of a stable E-type channel.
In addition, the width of the flood-prone area is approximately 75 feet giving the channel an
entrenchment ratio of 5.7 to 6.4,typical of a stable E-type channel.
Pattern: In-field measurements of the reference reach have yielded an average sinuosity of 1.04(thalweg
distance/straight-line distance). Other channel pattern attributes include an average pool-to-pool spacing
ratio (Lp-p/Wbkf) of 4.4, a meander wavelength ratio (Lm/Wbkf) of 8.3 and a radius of curvature ratio
(Rc/Wbkf) of 3.8. These variables were measured within a stable, forested reach, which did not exhibit
any indications of pattern instability such as shoot cutoffs, abandoned channels, or oxbows.
Profile: Based on elevational profile surveys, the reference reach is characterized by a valley slope of
0.0116 (rise/run). Ratios of the reference reach riffle, run, pool and glide slopes to average water surface
slope are 1.74, 0.13, 0, and 0.25, respectively.
Substrate:The channel is characterized by a channel substrate dominated by Cobble-sized particles.
4.2 Reference Forest Ecosystem
A Reference Forest Ecosystem (RFE) is a forested area on which to model restoration efforts for soils and
vegetation. RFEs should be ecologically stable climax communities and represent the restoration site as it
likely existed before human disturbances. Data describing plant community composition and structure
should be collected at the RFEs and subsequently applied as reference data to emulate a natural climax
community.
The RFE for this project is located on the Stone Mountain Reference reach. The RFE supports plant
community and landform characteristics that restoration efforts will attempt to emulate. Tree and shrub
species identified within the reference forest and outlined in Table 10 will be used, in addition to other
relevant species in appropriate Schafale and Weakley (1990) community descriptions.

4.3 Reference Freshwater Marsh
Some portions of the Site are expected to be dominated by an open, herbaceous vegetative community
characteristic of a Swamp Forest-Bog Complex, as described in Schafale and Weakley (1990). Two
freshwater marsh reference sites were identified near the Site, including one in Linville Gap (11 miles
northeast of the Site) and one in Julian Price Park (17 miles northeast of the Site).
Both reference marshes are encompassed with expansive floodplains that are underlain by soils of the
Nikwasi series. Hydrology appears to be driven by seepage along the floodplain margins and poor
permeability of the underlying soils. Overbank flooding appears to occur but doesn't appear to be a main
contributor to the hydrologic regime. The sites appear to have been affected by beaver in the past;
however,the beaver activity appears to be relatively old. Species listed in Table 11 will be included in the
permanent seeding mix for stabilization.

5 CHANNEL ASSESSMENTS
5.1 Channel Stability Assessment
Stream power and shear stress were estimated for 1) existing dredged and straightened reaches, 2) the
reference reaches, and 3) proposed Site conditions. Important input values and output results (including
stream power,shear stress,and per unit shear power and shear stress)are presented in Table 12.Average
stream velocity and bankfull discharge values were calculated for the existing Site stream reaches, the
reference reach, and proposed conditions.
To maintain sediment transport functions of a stable stream system,the proposed channel should exhibit
stream power and shear stress values so the channel is neither aggrading nor degrading. Results of the
analysis indicate the proposed channel reaches are expected to maintain stream power as a function of
width values of approximately 5.88-9.77 and shear stress values of approximately 1.05-1.95 (Table 10).

Reference reach values for stream power and shear stress are slightly lower than proposed on-site values
due to less steep valley and water surface slopes, resulting in slightly lower stream power and shear stress
values.
Existing, Site streams are characterized by a wide range of water surface slopes and varying degrees of
degradation. In general, stream power values of existing streams are slightly elevated as compared to
proposed values. Shear stress values of existing streams are significantly elevated as compared to
proposed and reference reach values. Proposed stream power and shear stress values are adequate to
mobilize and transport sediment through the Site, without aggradation or erosion on proposed stream
banks.
5.2 Bankfull Verification
For this study,the bankfull channel is defined as the channel dimensions designed to support the"channel
forming" or "dominant" discharge (Gordon et al. 1992).
Based on available Mountain regional curves, the predicted bankfull discharge for the reference reaches
averages approximately 501.7 and 89.2 cubic feet per second (cfs) for Stone Mountain and Cranberry
Creek Reference Reaches, respectively(Harmen et al. 2001).
Field indicators of bankfull, primarily topographic breaks identified on the banks, and riffle cross-sections
were utilized to obtain an average bankfull cross-sectional area for the reference reaches.The Mountain
regional curves were then utilized to plot the watershed area and discharge for the reference reach cross-
sectional areas. Field indicators of bankfull approximate an average discharge of 271.7 and 103.5 cfs,
Mitigation Plan(Project No.100122) page 18
Laurel Springs Stream and Wetland Restoration Site Restoration Systems,LLC
Avery County,North Carolina December 2020

respectively for the reference reaches, which is approximately 54 and 116 percent of that predicted by
the regional curves.
The USGS regional regression equation for the Mountain region indicates that bankfull discharge for the
reference reaches at a 1.3-1.5 year return interval average approximately 385-410 and 65-80 cfs,
respectively (USGS 2006), which is approximately 77-82 percent and 73-90 percent of that predicted by
the regional curves.
Based on the above analysis of methods to determine bankfull discharge, proposed conditions at the Site
will be based on an average of the Stone Mountain, and Cranberry Creek reference reaches, which is
equivalent to indicators of bankfull on an on-site cross-section located in an undisturbed reach of UT2.
Indicators of bankfull were used on the undisturbed reach of UT2 to compare the bankfull cross-sectional
area to that predicted by the curves; however, a detailed reference reach analysis was not appropriate.
Field indicators of bankfull on UT2 equaled 85 percent of the bankfull predicted by the regional curves.
Therefore, designed on-site channel restoration area will equal approximately 85 percent of the channel
size indicated by Mountain regional curves.Table B1(Appendix B) provides the bankfull discharge for each
reach.Table 13 summarizes all methods analyzed for estimating bankfull discharge.

Site specific mitigation goals and objectives have been developed through the use of NC SAM and NC
WAM analyses of existing and reference stream systems at the Site (NC SFAT 2015 and NC WFAT 2010).
These methodologies rate functional metrics for streams and wetlands as high, medium, or low based on
field data collected on forms and transferred into a rating calculator. Using Boolean logic, the rating
calculator assigns a high, medium, or low value for each metric and overall function. Site functional
assessment data forms are available upon request and model output is included in Appendix B.

7 SITE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION CONSTRAINTS
The presence of conditions or characteristics that can hinder restoration activities on the Site was
evaluated. The evaluation focused primarily on the presence of hazardous materials, utilities, restrictive
easements, rare/threatened/endangered species or critical habitats, and hydrologic trespass potential.
Existing information regarding Site constraints was acquired and reviewed. In addition,any Site conditions
that can restrict the restoration design and implementation were documented during the field
investigation.
Due to steep slopes, confined valleys, and the excavation of benches at the upper reaches of Fork Creek
hydrologic trespass will not be an issue at the Site. Wider buffers have been acquired that encompass the
entire floodplain. In addition, the property was purchased fee simple and an easement placed within the
property boundaries,thereby alleviating lateral trespass issues.
No known Site constraints that may hinder proposed mitigation activities were identified during field
surveys.An Environmental Screening(Categorical Exclusion) document is included in Appendix E.
8 DESIGN APPROACH AND MITIGATION WORK PLAN
8,1 Stream Design
On-site streams targeted for restoration have endured significant disturbance from land use activities
such as land clearing, livestock grazing, straightening and rerouting of channels, ditching within the
floodplain, and other anthropogenic maintenance. Site streams will be restored to emulate historical
conditions at the Site utilizing parameters from nearby, relatively undisturbed reference streams (see
Section 4.1 Reference Streams).
Primary activities designed to restore Site streams include 1) stream restoration, 2) stream enhancement
(Level I), 3) stream enhancement (Level II), 4) stream preservation, 5) wetland re-establishment, 6)
wetland rehabilitation, 7) wetland preservation, 8) construction of marsh treatment areas and 9)
vegetation planting(Figures 6A-6C,Appendix A).
The Wilmington District of the USACE includes Regional Conditions to Nationwide Permitting that Trout
Waters are excluded from permitted activates between October 15 and April 15 without prior written
approval from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission. This moratorium will be observed for
this project.
8,1.1 Stream Restoration
Stream restoration efforts are designed to restore a stable stream that approximates hydrodynamics,
stream geometry, and local microtopography relative to reference conditions. Restoration at the Site will
be Priority I restoration;therefore, bankfull elevations will be raised to meet the adjacent valley floodplain
elevation.
Stream restoration is expected to entail 1) channel excavation to dimensions depicted in Figure 7
(Appendix A), 2) channel stabilization, 3) channel diversion, and 4) channel backfill.
In-stream Structures
In-stream structures will be used for grade control, habitat, and to elevate local water surface profiles in
the channel,flattening the water energy slope or gradient and directing stream energy into the center of
Mitigation Plan(Project No.100122) page 24
Laurel Springs Stream and Wetland Restoration Site Restoration Systems,LLC
Avery County,North Carolina December 2020

the channel and away from banks (Figures 8A,Appendix A).The structures will consist of log cross-vanes
or log j-hook vanes; however, at the Engineer's discretion, rock cross-vanes or rock j-hook vanes may be
substituted if dictated by field conditions. In addition, the structures will be placed in relatively straight
reaches to provide secondary(perpendicular)flow cells during bankfull events. Steeply sloped sections of
the Site characterized by step pool (B-type) channels will have sill step and step-pool structures installed
as depicted in Figure 8C (Appendix A)
Piped Channel Crossing
Landowner constraints will necessitate installing two piped channel crossings within breaks in the
easement to allow access to portions of the property isolated by stream restoration activities Figures 6A-
6C (Appendix A). The crossings are currently perched and serve as barriers to wildlife crossing. The
crossings will be constructed with suitable sized pipes to allow for stormwater flows, with adjacent
floodplain pipes to allow for overflow discharge onto the floodplain. Materials will include hydraulically
stable rip-rap or suitable rock. The crossing will be large enough to handle anticipated vehicular traffic.
Approach grades to the crossing will be at an approximate 10:1 slope and constructed of hard, scour-
resistant crushed rock or other permeable material, which is free of fines.
Marsh Treatment Area
Three shallow wetland marsh treatment areas will be excavated in the floodplain to intercept surface
waters draining through adjacent land use before discharging into Site tributaries. Marsh treatment areas
are intended to improve the mitigation project and are not generating mitigation credit. The proposed
marsh treatment area locations are depicted in Figures 6A-C (Appendix A). They will consist of shallow
depressions that will provide treatment and attenuation of initial stormwater pulses(Figure 8B,Appendix
A). The outfall will be constructed of hydraulically stable rip-rap or other suitable material to protect
against headcut migration into the constructed depression. It is expected that the treatment area will fill
with sediment and organic matter over time.
Drop Structure
A drop structure is proposed on Fork Creek at the Site outfall.The drop structure may be constructed out
of log cross vanes and large cobble depending upon anticipated scour from the restored stream channels.
The structure should be constructed to resist erosive forces associated with hydraulic drops proposed at
the Site.
8.1.2 Stream Enhancement(Level I)
Stream enhancement (level I) will entail stream dimension restoration, installation of habitat and grade
control structures, easement markers, and planting riparian buffers with native forest vegetation to
facilitate stream recovery and prevent further stream degradation.
8.1.3 Stream Enhancement(Level II)
Stream enhancement (level II)will entail installing easement markers, removing livestock, minor bank
treatments, and planting riparian buffers with native forest vegetation to facilitate stream recovery and
prevent further degradation of the stream.
8.1.4 Stream Preservation
Stream preservation will occur on the upstream reaches of UTs 2, 3, 4, and 5. These reaches are
characterized by channels with mature riparian vegetation,suitable channel bed substrate,and little bank
Mitigation Plan(Project No.100122) page 25

erosion. The reaches are not frequently accessed by livestock and are included in the project to protect
the project's upstream and downstream ends from future impacts.

8,3 Wetland Reestablishment
Alternatives for wetland re-establishment are designed to restore a fully functioning wetland system,
provide surface water storage, nutrient cycling, removal of imported elements and compounds, and
create a variety and abundance of wildlife habitat.
Portions of the Site underlain by hydric soils have been impacted by stream dredging, drain tile
installation,vegetative clearing,agriculture plowing,and other land disturbances associated with land use
management. Wetland re-establishment will focus on the restoration of vegetative communities,
restoration of stream corridors, and historic groundwater tables, and the re-establishment of soil
structure and microtopographic variations. In addition, the construction of (or provisions for) surface
water storage depressions (ephemeral pools) will also add an essential component to groundwater
restoration activities.These activities will re-establish 7.656 acres, rehabilitate 1.993 acres, and preserve
0.198 acres of jurisdictional riparian riverine wetlands.
8.4 Soil Restoration
Soil grading will occur during stream restoration activities.Topsoils will be stockpiled during construction
activities and spread on the soil surface once a subgrade has been established. The replaced topsoil will
serve as a viable growing medium for community restoration to provide nutrients and aid in the survival
of planted species.
8,5 Natural Plant Community Restoration
Restoration of floodplain forest and streamside habitat allows for the development and expansion of
characteristic species across the landscape. Ecotonal changes between community types contribute to
species diversity and provide secondary benefits, such as enhanced feeding and nesting opportunities for
mammals, birds, amphibians, and other wildlife. Reference Forest Ecosystem (RFE) data, on-site
observations, and community descriptions from Classification of the Natural Communities of North
Carolina (Schafale and Weakley 1990) were used to develop the primary plant community associations
planted during community restoration activities.

8.5.1 Treatment of Fescue Grass
Before construction activities,areas of the Site dominated by fescue and opportunistic herbaceous species
will be mowed and treated with the appropriate herbicide by a licensed pesticide applicator(anticipated
date, April/May 2021). If dense fescue areas are still present after construction, a second herbicide
treatment will be made before planting and permeant seeding of the Site (anticipated date,
September/October 2021).
8.5.2 Planting Plan
Streamside trees and shrubs include species with high value for sediment stabilization, rapid growth rate,
and the ability to withstand hydraulic forces associated with bankfull flow and overbank flood events.
Streamside trees and shrubs will be planted within 15 feet of the channel top of bank throughout the
meander belt-width.Shrub elements will be planted along the reconstructed stream banks, concentrated
along outer bends. Montane Alluvial Forest is the target community for Site floodplains, and Acidic Cove
Forest is the target community for upland side-slopes.
Bare-root seedlings within the Montane Alluvial and Acidic Cove Forests will be planted at a density of
approximately 680 stems per acre on 8-foot centers. Shrub species in the streamside assemblage and
Marsh Treatment Areas will be planted at a density of 2720 stems per acre on 4-foot centers.
Table 16 depicts the total number of stems and species distribution within each vegetation association
(Figure 9, Appendix A). Planting will be performed between December 1 and March 15 to allow plants to
stabilize during the dormant period and set root during the spring season.

Due to floodplain soils being of the Nikwasi series,scattered openings dominated by herbs and shrubs are
likely to develop overtime. These areas are expected to be less than an acre in size and encompass less
than 20% of the Site. The general location of expected herbaceous dominated wetlands is depicted in
Figure 9 (Appendix A). As the wetland matures, poorly drained soils will make conditions favorable for
species like those described in a Swamp Forest-Bog Complex to thrive. In addition,two reference wetlands
have been identified near the Site (one in Banner Elk and one in Julian Price Park). These wetlands are
underlain by Nikwasi soils and exhibit hydrologic and landscape characteristics similar to the Site. The
proposed seed mix uses herbaceous and shrub species identified at the reference wetlands.

8.5.3 Nuisance Species Management
Invasive plant species will be observed and controlled mechanically and/or chemically as part of this
project. No other nuisance species controls are proposed at this time. Inspections for beaver and other
potential nuisance species will occur throughout the monitoring period.Appropriate actions may be taken
to ameliorate any negative impacts regarding vegetation development and/or water management on an
as-needed basis. The presence of other nuisance species will be monitored throughout the monitoring
period. Appropriate actions will be taken to alleviate any negative impacts regarding vegetation
development and/or water management on an as-needed basis.
9 MONITORING AND SUCCESS CRITERIA
Monitoring will be conducted by Axiom Environmental, Inc based on the schedule in Table 19.A summary
of monitoring is outlined in Table 20(Figure 10,Appendix A).Annual monitoring reports will be submitted
to the North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services (NCDMS) by Restoration Systems no later than

9.1 Success Criteria
Monitoring and success criteria for stream restoration should relate to project goals and objectives
identified from on-site NC SAM and NC WAM data collection. From a mitigation perspective, several of
the goals and objectives are assumed to be functionally elevated by restoration activities without direct
measurement. Other goals and objectives will be considered successful upon achieving success criteria.
Table 21 summarizes Site success criteria.
Table 21. Success Criteria
Streams
• All streams must maintain an Ordinary High-Water Mark(OHWM), per RGL 05-05.
• Continuous surface flow must be documented in intermittent reaches each year for at least 30 consecutive
days.
• Bank height ratio(BHR)cannot exceed 1.2 at any measured cross-section.
• BHR at any measure riffle cross-section should not change by more than 10%from baseline condition during
any given monitoring period.
• The stream shall remain stable, and all other performance standards shall be met through four separate
bankfull events,occurring in separate years,during the monitoring years 1-7.
Wetland Hydrology
• Saturation or inundation within the upper 12 inches of the soil surface for, at a minimum, 12 percent of the
growing season during average climatic conditions.
Vegetation
• Within planted portions of the Site,a minimum of 320 stems per acre must be present at year 3;a minimum
of 260 stems per acre must be present at year 5; and a minimum of 210 stems per acre must be present at
year 7.
• Trees must average 6 feet in height at year 5 and 8 feet in height at year 7 in each plot.
• Planted and volunteer stems are counted, provided they are included in the approved planting list for the
Site; natural recruits not on the planting list may be considered by the IRT on a case-by-case basis.
9.2 Contingency
In the event that stream success criteria are not fulfilled, a mechanism for contingency will be
implemented.
9.2.1 Stream Contingency
Stream contingency may include,but may not be limited to 1)structure repair and/or installation;2)repair
of dimension, pattern, and/or profile variables; and 3) bank stabilization. The method of contingency is
expected to be dependent upon stream variables that are not in compliance with success criteria. Primary
concerns,which may jeopardize stream success,include 1)structure failure, 2) headcut migration through
the Site, and/or 3) bank erosion.
Structure Failure
In the event that structures are compromised, the affected structure will be repaired, maintained, or
replaced. Once the structure is repaired or replaced, it must function to stabilize adjacent stream banks
and/or maintain grade control within the channel. Structures that remain intact, but exhibit flow around,
beneath, or through the header/footer will be repaired by excavating a trench on the upstream side of
the structure and reinstalling filter fabric in front of the pilings. Structures that have been compromised,
Mitigation Plan(Project No.100122) page 31
Laurel Springs Stream and Wetland Restoration Site Restoration Systems,LLC
Avery County,North Carolina December 2020

resulting in shifting or collapse of a header/footer,will be removed and replaced with a structure suitable
for Site flows.
Headcut Migration Through the Site
If a headcut occurs within the Site (identified visually or through measurements [i.e., bank-height ratios
exceeding 1.4]), provisions for impeding headcut migration and repairing damage caused by the headcut
will be implemented. Headcut migration may be impeded by installing in-stream grade control structures
(rip-rap sill and/or log cross-vane weir) and/or restoring stream geometry variables until channel stability
is achieved. Channel repairs to stream geometry may include channel backfill with coarse material and
stabilizing the material with erosion control matting, vegetative transplants, and/or willow stakes.
Bank Erosion
If severe bank erosion occurs within the Site,resulting in incision,lateral instability,and/or elevated width-
to-depth ratios locally or systemically, contingency measures to reduce bank erosion and width-to-depth
ratio will be implemented. Bank erosion contingency measures may include the installation of log-vane
weirs and/or other bank stabilization measures. If the resultant bank erosion induces shoot cutoffs or
channel abandonment, a channel may be excavated to reduce shear stress to stable values.
Beaver and other Invasive Species
Indications of beaver establishment will be monitored throughout the 7-year monitoring period. If beaver
are identified in the Site, the dam's location will be depicted on CCPV mapping, and the beaver will be
trapped. Once the beaver have been trapped, the dam will be removed. Removal of the dam is expected
to occur by hand to minimized disturbance to the adjacent mitigation areas.
When invasive species controls are required by the IRT, species such as multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora),
Russian olive (Eleagnus angustifolium), Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), and tree of heaven (Ailanthus
altissima) will be treated by cutting and directly treating the stump with Garlon 4A (or other similar
materials) to minimize re-sprouting. Appropriate actions to ameliorate any negative impacts regarding
vegetation development and/or water management will occur on an as-needed basis. Additional
monitoring or other contingency measures will be determined by consultation with the IRT.
Road/Culvert Maintenance
Observation of road crossings/culverts will occur during regular monitoring visits conducted at the Site.
Culverts will be monitored primarily for blockage; however, it will also be noted if erosion is occurring.
Once the seven-year monitoring period has expired, maintenance of the crossing will be the landowner's
responsibility.
Development/Logging
Topographic re-entrants discharging into the conservation easement typically are directed into marsh
treatment areas that treat the initial stormwater pulse to capture sediment and nutrients from adjacent
runoff. These areas will naturalize over time into small wetland depressions. If the property adjacent to
the Site is developed or logged such that excessive sediment enters the Site, the marsh treatment area
may be re-excavated to capture additional drainage effluent. Maintenance of the marsh treatment area
is not expected to occur over an extended period of time; however, short term maintenance may occur
until stabilization of the adjacent landscape occurs.
Mitigation Plan(Project No.100122) page 32
Laurel Springs Stream and Wetland Restoration Site Restoration Systems,LLC
Avery County,North Carolina December 2020

9.2.2 Wetland Contingency
Hydrological contingency will require consultation with hydrologists and regulatory agencies if wetland
hydrology enhancement is not achieved. Floodplain surface modifications, including the construction of
ephemeral pools, represent a likely mechanism to increase the floodplain area in support of jurisdictional
wetlands. Recommendations for contingency to establish wetland hydrology will be implemented and
monitored until Hydrology Success Criteria are achieved.
9.2.3 Vegetation Contingency
If vegetation success criteria are not achieved,supplemental planting may be performed with tree species
approved by regulatory agencies. Supplemental planting will be performed as needed until achievement
of vegetation success criteria.
9.2.4 Easement Encroachment
Site design, and particularly the size and placement of the conservation easement, make encroachment
very unlikely.All adjacent agricultural uses have been removed from the project's parent fee-simple tract.
60-foot easement breaks provide access from the DOT road to the residential lots located adjacent to the
Site and allow for ample room for maintenance outside of the easement. The Site is boarded by the NC
DOT's Little Buck Hill Road to the west, a private drive to the south, an unnamed tributary to the north,
and steep slopes to the east. Further, The Site's easement encompasses a vast majority of the area's
upland buffer.
The entire easement area will be appropriately marked to identify the easement boundaries per United
States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and Interagency Review Team (IRT) requirements. Within
forested areas, tree marking via pant and signage will ensure a clearly delineated easement. Along open
forest restoration areas of the Site, t-posts or treated wood posts will be used with easement signage to
designate the easement boundaries.
In the event easement encroachment does take place, RS will work with the individual/s who caused the
encroachment to further educate them about the project and the easement. As necessary, RS will add
additional signage and re-establish any damaged vegetation.
9.3 Compatibility with Project Goals
The following table outlines the compatibility of Site performance criteria described above to Site goals
and objectives that will be utilized to evaluate if Site goals and objectives are achieved.

10 ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT PLAN
In the event the mitigation Site or a specific component of the mitigation Site fails to achieve the necessary
performance standards as specified in the mitigation plan, the sponsor shall notify the members of the
IRT and work with the IRT to develop contingency plans and remedial actions.
11 LONG-TERM MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Site will be transferred to the NCDEQ Stewardship Program. This party shall serve as conservation
easement holder and long-term steward for the property and will conduct periodic inspection of the Site
to ensure that restrictions required in the conservation easement are upheld. Funding will be supplied by
the responsible party on a yearly basis until such time an endowment is established. The NCDEQ
Stewardship Program is developing an endowment system within the non-reverting, interest-bearing
Conservation Lands Conservation Fund Account. The use of funds from the Endowment Account will be
governed by North Carolina General Statute GS 113A-232(d)(3). Interest gained by the endowment fund
may be used for the purpose of stewardship, monitoring, stewardship administration, and land
transaction costs, if applicable.

Longitude:-81.9837
Location description: The proposed mitigation bank is located at 676 and 964 Little Buck Hill Road,near Newland,NC.
Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
A. Preliminary Determination
• There appear to be waters,including wetlands on the above described project area/property,that may be subject to Section 404
of the Clean Water Act(CWA)(33 USC § 1344)and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act(RHA)(33 USC §403).The
waters,including wetlands have been delineated,and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently accurate
and reliable.The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated October 2019.
Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction determination may be used in the permit evaluation process,including determining
compensatory mitigation.For purposes of computation of impacts,compensatory mitigation requirements,and other resource
protection measures,a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat all waters and wetlands that would be
affected in any way by the permitted activity on the site as if they are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. This preliminary
determination is not an appealable action under the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process(Reference 33 CFR Part
331).However,you may request an approved JD,which is an appealable action,by contacting the Corps district for further
instruction.
❑ There appear to be waters,including wetlands on the above described project area/property,that may be subject to Section 404
of the Clean Water Act(CWA)(33 USC § 1344)and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act(RHA)(33 USC§403).
However,since the waters,including wetlands have not been properly delineated,this preliminary jurisdiction determination
may not be used in the permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation,this preliminary determination is
merely an effective presumption of CWA/RHA jurisdiction over all of the waters,including wetlands at the project area,which
is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision.We recommend that you have the waters,
including wetlands on your project area/property delineated.As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland
delineation in a timely manner,you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps.
B. Approved Determination
❑ There are Navigable Waters of the United States within the above described project area/property subject to the permit
requirements of Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act(RHA)(33 USC§403)and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
(CWA)(33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in law or our published regulations,this determination may be relied upon for
a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ There are waters,including wetlandson the above described project area/property subject to the permit requirements of Section
404 of the Clean Water Act(CWA)(33 USC§ 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations,this
determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑We recommend you have the waters,including wetlands on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be
able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner,you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that
can be verified by the Corps.

2019-01732
❑The waters,including wetlands on your project area/property have been delineated and the delineation has been verified by
the Corps. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated DATE.We strongly
suggest you have this delineation surveyed. Upon completion,this survey should be reviewed and verified by the Corps. Once
verified,this survey will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWA jurisdiction on your property which,provided
there is no change in the law or our published regulations,may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years.
❑The waters,including wetlands have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat signed by the
Corps Regulatory Official identified below onDATE.Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations,this
determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ There are no waters of the U.S.,to include wetlands,present on the above described project area/property which are subject to the
permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act(33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published
regulations,this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ The property is located in one of the 20 Coastal Counties subject to regulation under the Coastal Area Management Act(CAMA).
You should contact the Division of Coastal Management in Morehead City,NC,at(252)808-2808 to determine their
requirements.
Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US,including wetlands,without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act(33 USC § 1311). Placement of dredged or fill material,construction or
placement of structures,or work within navigable waters of the United States without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Sections 9 and/or 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act(33 USC §401 and/or 403).If you have any questions
regarding this determination and/or the Corps regulatory program,please contact Amanda Jones at 828-271-7980 ext.4225 or
amanda.j ones(&,usace.army.mil.
C. Basis for Determination: See the preliminary jurisdictional determination form dated 11/22/2019.
D. Remarks: A site visit was conducted on October 02, 2019 in which streams and wetlands on the site were
verified and amended as depicted on the attached map labeled Figure 3 dated October 2019.
E. Attention USDA Program Participants
This delineation/determination has been conducted to identify the limits of Corps' Clean Water Act jurisdiction for the particular site
identified in this request. The delineation/determination may not be valid for the wetland conservation provisions of the Food Security
Act of 1985. If you or your tenant are USDA Program participants,or anticipate participation in USDA programs,you should request
a certified wetland determination from the local office of the Natural Resources Conservation Service,prior to starting work.

1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the
United States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party
who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to
request and obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site.
Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other person who requested this
preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an approved JD in
this instance and at this time.
2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or
a Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring
"pre-construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non-reporting
NWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an
approved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the
following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization
based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determination of
jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approved
JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and
that basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less
compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that
the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting
the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4)
that the applicant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply
with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation
requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5) that undertaking
any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting
an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the
preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is
practicable; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered
individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps
permit authorization based on a preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all
wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity
are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes any challenge to
such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement
action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether
the applicant elects to use either an approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD
will be processed as soon as is practicable. Further, an approved JD, a proffered
individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual
permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331,
and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33
C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary
to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or
to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will
provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable.
This preliminary JD finds that there "may be"waters of the United States on the
subject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be
affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:

Project Description
Located within the NC DWR Targeted Local Watershed (TLW) 06010108-010020 and NC DWR subbasin 04-03-06,
the Site streams have a Best Use Classification of C; Tr & WS-IV; Tr. Restoration Systems developed specific
mitigation goals and objectives through the use of the North Carolina Stream Assessment Method (NC SAM), the
North Carolina Wetland Assessment Method (NC WAM), and the French Broad River Basin Restoration Priorities
2009 report. Site species and adjacent land use consists of disturbed forest and livestock pasture within a
watershed that contains less than 2% impervious surfaces. Within the Project's +/- 26 ac. footprint, are four
unnamed tributaries totaling 3,575 I. ft. which drain directly into Fork Creek, and 2,300 I. ft. of Fork Creek itself.
Fork Creek enters Threemile Creek, a trout and drinking water supply watershed, % mile downstream of the
Project. The proposed mitigation approach is a combination of new channel restoration, in-channel enhancement
level I and II, and preservation.The Project will also result in restoration/enhancement of approximately 7.8 acres
of wetlands.

Dear Ms. Toombs,
The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) - Division of Mitigation
Services (DMS) requests review and comment on any possible issues that might emerge
concerning archaeological or cultural resources associated with the proposed Laurel Springs
Stream Mitigation Site (Project). The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is the lead
federal agency for this proposed mitigation project.A USGS Topographic Map and a proposed
project conceptual map showing the project area are enclosed. The topographic figure was
prepared from the USGS 7.5 Minute Topographic Map (Linville Falls, Newland, Carvers Gap,
and Spruce Pine, NC Quads). The project location (Latitude and Longitude) is as follows:
35.99446, -81.98238.
Located in southern Avery County, the Site is 8 miles southwest of Linville and 7 miles
northeast of Spruce Pine. The Project will help restore and protect water quality in the 14-
digit Cataloging Unit and Targeted Local Watershed 06010108010020; along Fork Creek and
unnamed tributaries to Fork Creek.
Currently, the site consists of open grassy fields used for livestock grazing and pasture.
Disturbed and managed forest do exist along the edge of the pasture and sloped areas of the
property. Historic channelization, unrestricted livestock access, and the management/
removal of riparian buffers have impacted Project streams. As a result, Project streams are
incised, unstable, and exhibit areas of active bank erosion from high flows, hoof shear, and
raw banks. Riparian buffer vegetation varies from areas with no woody buffer vegetation to
areas with large trees but at low density and without any significant understory. Sparse
residential development and similar landuse conditions as those found within the Project,
comprise the surrounding area.
The Project will include restoration, enhancement, and preservation of 5,077 linear feet
stream channel along with an undetermined amount of reestablished riparian wetlands. Site

alterations include the cessation of livestock grazing in the riparian zone and access to
stream channels,restoration of streams and wetlands,and planting native,woody vegetation
within the entire Project. A conservation easement will preserve the Project in perpetuity,
protecting the property from future development and agricultural uses.

Re: Laurel Springs Stream Mitigation Site
Mr. Paul Weisner:
The Cherokee Nation(Nation)is in receipt of your correspondence about Laurel Springs Stream
Mitigation Site, and appreciates the opportunity to provide comment upon this project. Please
allow this letter to serve as the Nation's interest in acting as a consulting party to this proposed
project.
The Nation maintains databases and records of cultural, historic, and pre-historic resources in this
area. Our Historic Preservation Office reviewed this project, cross referenced the project's legal
description against our information, and found no instances where this project intersects or adjoins
such resources. Thus, the Nation does not foresee this project imparting impacts to Cherokee
cultural resources at this time.
However, the Nation requests that the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality
(NCDEQ)halt all project activities immediately and re-contact our Offices for further consultation
if items of cultural significance are discovered during the course of this project.
Additionally, the Nation requests that NCDEQ conduct appropriate inquiries with other pertinent
Tribal and Historic Preservation Offices regarding historic and prehistoric resources not included
in the Nation's databases or records.
If you require additional information or have any questions,please contact me at your convenience.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
Wado,

SUBJECT: Laurel Springs Mitigation Project
Dear Mr. Hamby:
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission(NCWRC)received your June 6,
2019 letter regarding plans for a stream mitigation project on Fork Creek and unnamed tributaries in
Avery County. You requested that we review and comment on any possible issues that might emerge with
respect to the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act from the potential stream restoration project. Our
comments on this project are offered for your consideration under provisions of the Clean Water Act of
1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et. seq.)and Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act(48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16
U.S.C. 661-667d).
The project is proposed as a mitigation project and will involve preservation, enhancement, and
restoration on 5,077 ft of stream that will result in 4,000 ft of coldwater stream mitigation. An
undetermined area of riparian wetland will also be restored.
Project activities should be avoided during the trout moratorium period of October 15 to April 15 in order
to minimize impacts to Brown Trout and Rainbow Trout reproduction. We recommend that riparian
buffers that are to be reestablished be as wide as possible, given site constraints and landowner needs.
NCWRC generally recommends a woody buffer of 100 feet on perennial streams to maximize the
benefits of buffers, including bank stability, stream shading,treatment of overland runoff, and wildlife
habitat.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. Please contact me at(828) 803-
6054 if you have any questions about these comments.

Dear Byron,
My name is JD Hamby, a project manager for Restoration Systems (RS), based in Raleigh,NC.
We have been awarded a contract by the NC Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) to
restore/enhance/preserve 5,077 feet of impaired stream channels in the French Broad 08 River
Basin(Avery County).
One of the earliest tasks to be performed by RS is completion of an environmental screening and
preparation/submittal of a Categorical Exclusion(CE) document. This document is specifically
required by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to ensure compliance with various
federal environmental laws and regulations. The DMS must demonstrate that its projects comply
with federal mandates as a precondition to FHWA reimbursement of compensatory mitigation
costs borne by the North Carolina Department of Transportation to offset its projects'
unavoidable impacts to streams and wetlands.
Since financial support of certain DMS operational budgets derives, in part, from federal
authorizations, it is necessary to conduct an informal Section 7 consultation with the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service (Service). As well as coordinate with your office on behalf of the Fish and
Wildlife Coordination Act(FWCA) &the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA). This letter
provides you with certain details about the Laurel Springs Mitigation Site, including the project's
location, a general description of its physiography, hydrography and existing land uses, as well
as the intended modifications to the site proposed by RS. In addition, should the project be
located in a geographic area in which federally-listed species may be present(based on element
occurrences, as reflected in Service listings), and if scientifically-sound practices have been used
to confirm the presence of suitable habitat for any listed species within the project area, the
results of appropriate surveys for each listed species and separate biological conclusions for each
will be provided for your review and consideration. You are asked to review the information
provided and determine if it is sufficient to enable you to concur with our biological conclusions.
Thank you for your time.

Dear Mr. Hamby:
Subject: Laurel Springs Mitigation Project; Avery County,North Carolina
Log No. 4-2-19-358
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has reviewed the information provided in your
updated correspondence received via email on September 4, 2019, wherein you solicit comments
regarding potential impacts to federally protected species that may result from the proposed
project. We submit the following comments in accordance with the provisions of the Fish and
Wildlife Coordination Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661-667e); the National Environmental
Policy Act(42 U.S.C. §4321 et seq.); and section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended(16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) (Act).
Project Description
According to the information provided, the proposed project aims to restore, enhance, and/or
preserve approximately 5,077 linear feet of stream channel (Fork Creek and its unnamed
tributaries)near Crossnore,North Carolina. The proposed work area and adjacent uplands are
dominated by agricultural land cover, and some successional forest adjacent to pasture. Instream
habitats appear to be highly disturbed from associated land uses and ranked"low" according to
NCSAM at four locations onsite. Approximately 0.3 acre of unforested wetlands also occur
within the 26.2 acre easement area.
Federally Listed Endangered and Threatened Species
According to Service records, suitable summer roosting habitat may be present in the project
area for the federally threatened northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis), and multiple
mist net captures of this animal occur in the project vicinity. However, the project would occur
at a location where any incidental take that may result from associated activities is exempt under
the 4(d) rule for this species'. Although not required, we encourage you to avoid associated tree
clearing activities during the maternity roosting season from May 15 —August 15, and
particularly during the pup season for this species (June 1 —July 31).
1 The Service believes that the apparently minor extent of tree clearing and your commitment to ensure that roosting
habitats would not be disturbed during summer months reduces the probability for take of this species to a level we
would consider insignificant and discountable. Therefore,we would alternatively concur with an action agency
determination that the proposed project"may affect,but is not likely to adversely affect"this species.

Service records indicate no known occurrences of the federally endangered gray bat (Myotis
grisescens), and Virginia big-eared bat(Corynorhinus townsendii virginianus) in the vicinity of
the proposed project, although potential suitable forage habitat is present onsite. We appreciate
your commitment to ensure that these habitats would not be disturbed during summer months.
Therefore, we would concur with an action agency determination that the proposed project"may
affect, but is not likely to adversely affect these species."
In the interest of protecting habitats for bat species, tree removal should be selective and clearing
of vegetation should be minimized to what is necessary to provide healthy streambank and bed
habitats. Reaches with well-vegetated riparian areas should be first considered for preservation,
rather than for restoration or enhancement activities to preclude unwarranted disturbances to
existing habitats.
According to our records and a review of the information you provided, no other federally listed
species or their habitats occur onsite. Therefore, we believe the requirements under section 7 of
the Act are fulfilled and we require no further action at this time. However, obligations under
section 7 of the Act must be reconsidered if: (1)new information reveals impacts of this
identified action that may affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously
considered, (2) this action is subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this
review, or(3) a new species is listed or critical habitat is determined that may be affected by the
identified action.
We offer the following general recommendations in the interest of protecting natural resources:
Stream Channel and Bank Restoration
A natural, stable stream system is one that is able to transport a wide range of flows and
associated sediment bed load while maintaining channel features and neither degrading nor
aggrading. Alterations to the dimension, pattern, or profile of the stream channel as well as
changes to streambank vegetation, floodplains, hydrology, or sediment input can significantly
alter this equilibrium. We understand that this stream reach is highly modified, and restoring the
site to a natural state may not be feasible. Still we offer the following recommendations:
1. Only the absolute minimum amount of work should be done within stream channels to
accomplish necessary reconstruction. The amount of disturbance to in-stream and
riparian areas should not exceed what will be stabilized by the end of the workday.
Restoration plans should account for the constraints of the site and the opportunities to
improve stream pattern, dimension, and profile with minimal disturbance.
2. Reconstruction work should follow natural channel design methodologies that are based
on the bank-full, or channel-forming, stage of the stream. Bank-full stage maintains the
natural channel dimensions and transports the bulk of sediment over time. Natural
channel conditions should be identified using a reference reach (nearby stream reaches
that exemplify restoration goals). Restoration design should match the pattern,
dimension, and profile of the reference reach to ensure the project's success.
3. All work in or adjacent to stream waters should be conducted in a dry work area to the
extent possible. Sandbags, cofferdams, bladder dams, or other diversion structures
2

should be used to prevent excavation in flowing water. These diversion structures should
be removed as soon as the work area is stable.
4. Equipment should not be operated in the stream unless absolutely necessary. Machinery
should be operated from the banks in a fashion that minimizes disturbance to woody
vegetation. Equipment should be: (a) washed to remove any contaminant residue prior
to project construction, (b) in good working order, and(c) checked to ensure there are no
leaks of potential contaminants (such as oil or other lubricants)prior to and during
construction.
5. Streambanks with deep-rooted woody vegetation are the most stable, and stream
restoration efforts should incorporate the use of native vegetation adapted to the site
conditions. Live dormant stakes may be used to reestablish root structure in riparian
areas. In areas where banks are severely undercut, high, and steep, whole-tree revetment
or rock may be used as a stabilization treatment(small rock, gravel, sand, and dirt are not
recommended due to their erosive nature), and it should not extend above the bank-full
elevation (the elevation of the channel where the natural floodplain begins).
Deep-rooting woody vegetation should be established along banks where any channel
work is accomplished. Tree and shrub plantings should be spaced at intervals no greater
than 10 feet along banks. Vegetated riparian zone widths should be as wide as practical
but should extend at least 30 feet from the stream channel.
6. Adequate measures to control sediment and erosion must be implemented prior to any
ground-disturbing activities in order to minimize effects on downstream aquatic
resources. In North Carolina, non-cohesive and erosion-prone soils are most common in
the felsic-crystalline terrains of the mountain and upper piedmont regions. Therefore,
reconstruction work should be staged such that disturbed areas would be stabilized with
seeding, mulch, and/or biodegradable (coir) erosion-control matting prior to the end of
each workday. No erosion-control matting or blankets should contain synthetic
(netting) materials as they trap animals and can persist in the environment beyond
their intended purpose. Matting should be secured in place with staples; stakes; or,
wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. If rain is expected prior to temporary seed
establishment, additional measures should be implemented to protect water quality along
slopes and overburden stockpiles (for example, stockpiles may be covered with plastic or
other geotextile material and surrounded with silt fencing).

Event Code: 04EN1000-2019-E-00928
Project Name: Laurel Springs
Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location, and/or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The attached species list identifies threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate species, as
well as proposed and final designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your
proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project.Although not required by
section 7, many agencies request species lists to start the informal consultation process and begin
their fulfillment of the requirements under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act(Act) of
1973, as amended(16 U.S.C. 1531 etseq.).
This list, along with other helpful resources, is also available on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service)Asheville Field Office's (AFO)website: https://www.fws.gov/raleigh/species/
cntylist/nc_counties.html. The AFO website list includes "species of concern" species that could
potentially be placed on the federal list of threatened and endangered species in the future.Also
available are:

New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could require modifications of these lists.
Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the Act,
the accuracy of the species lists should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be
completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be
completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website or the AFO website (the AFO website dates each
county list with the day of the most recent update/change) at regular intervals during project
planning and implementation for updates to species lists and information.An updated list may be
requested through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the
enclosed list or by going to the AFO website.
The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the
ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the
Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to
utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered
species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or
designated critical habitat.
A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having
similar physical impacts)that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act(42 U.S.C. 4332(2)
(c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a Biological
Evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may
affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended
contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12 and on our office's website
at https://www.fws.gov/asheville/htmis/project_review/assessment guidance.html.
If a Federal agency(or their non-federal representative) determines, based on the Biological
Assessment or Biological Evaluation, that listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be
affected by the proposed project, the agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to
50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service recommends that candidate species,proposed species, and
proposed critical habitat be addressed within the consultation. More information on the
regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of permit or license
applicants, can be found in the "Endangered Species Consultation Handbook" at: http://
www.fws.gov/endangered/esa-library/pdf/TOC-GLOS.PDF.
Though the bald eagle is no longer protected under the Endangered Species Act,please be aware
that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act(16
U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require additional consultation (see
https://www.fws.gov/southeast/our-services/permits/enks/). Wind energy projects should follow
the wind energy guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) for minimizing impacts to
migratory birds (including bald and golden eagles) and bats.
Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects including communications
towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at: http://

We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages
Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project
planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Tracking Number in
the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project
that you submit to our office.

Endangered Species Act Species
There is a total of 10 threatened, endangered, or candidate species on this species list.
Species on this list should be considered in an effects analysis for your project and could include
species that exist in another geographic area. For example, certain fish may appear on the species
list because a project could affect downstream species.
IPaC does not display listed species or critical habitats under the sole jurisdiction of NOAA
Fisheries', as USFWS does not have the authority to speak on behalf of NOAA and the
Department of Commerce.
See the "Critical habitats" section below for those critical habitats that lie wholly or partially

Migratory Birds
Certain birds are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act'and the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Acts.
Any person or organization who plans or conducts activities that may result in impacts to
migratory birds, eagles, and their habitats should follow appropriate regulations and consider
implementing appropriate conservation measures, as described below.
1. The Migratory Birds Treaty Act of 1918.
2. The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act of 1940.
3. 50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)
The birds listed below are birds of particular concern either because they occur on the USFWS
Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) list or warrant special attention in your project location.
To learn more about the levels of concern for birds on your list and how this list is generated, see
the FAQ below. This is not a list of every bird you may find in this location, nor a guarantee that
every bird on this list will be found in your project area. To see exact locations of where birders
and the general public have sighted birds in and around your project area,visit the E-bird data
mapping tool (Tip: enter your location, desired date range and a species on your list). For
projects that occur off the Atlantic Coast, additional maps and models detailing the relative
occurrence and abundance of bird species on your list are available. Links to additional
information about Atlantic Coast birds, and other important information about your migratory
bird list, including how to properly interpret and use your migratory bird report, can be found
below.

Probability Of Presence Summary
The graphs below provide our best understanding of when birds of concern are most likely to be
present in your project area. This information can be used to tailor and schedule your project
activities to avoid or minimize impacts to birds. Please make sure you read and understand the
FAQ "Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report"before using or attempting
to interpret this report.
Probability of Presence (■)
Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in the 10km grid cell(s)your
project overlaps during a particular week of the year. (A year is represented as 12 4-week
months.)A taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. The survey effort(see
below) can be used to establish a level of confidence in the presence score. One can have higher
confidence in the presence score if the corresponding survey effort is also high.
How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps:
1. The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in
the week where the species was detected divided by the total number of survey events for
that week. For example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and the Spotted Towhee
was found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in week 12 is
0.25.
2. To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of
presence is calculated. This is the probability of presence divided by the maximum
probability of presence across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of presence
in week 20 for the Spotted Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week 12
(0.25) is the maximum of any week of the year. The relative probability of presence on
week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is 0.05/0.25 = 0.2.
3. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical
conversion so that all possible values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the
probability of presence score.
Breeding Season ( )

05/21/2019 Event Code: 04EN1000-2019-E-00928 3
Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time-frame inside which the bird breeds across
its entire range. If there are no yellow bars shown for a bird, it does not breed in your project
area.
Survey Effort (I)
Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of surveys
performed for that species in the 10km grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The number of
surveys is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys.
No Data (—)
A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week.
Survey Timeframe
Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant
information. The exception to this is areas off the Atlantic coast, where bird returns are based on
all years of available data, since data in these areas is currently much more sparse.

Migratory Birds FAQ
Tell me more about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts
to migratory birds.

05/21/2019 Event Code: 04EN1000-2019-E-00928 4
Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize
impacts to all birds at any location year round. Implementation of these measures is particularly
important when birds are most likely to occur in the project area. When birds may be breeding in
the area, identifying the locations of any active nests and avoiding their destruction is a very
helpful impact minimization measure. To see when birds are most likely to occur and be breeding
in your project area,view the Probability of Presence Summary. Additional measures and/or
permits may be advisable depending on the type of activity you are conducting and the type of
infrastructure or bird species present on your project site.
What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified
location?
The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern
(BCC) and other species that may warrant special attention in your project location.
The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian
Knowledge Network(AKN). The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey, banding,
and citizen science datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as
occurring in the 10km grid cell(s)which your project intersects, and that have been identified as
warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Act
requirements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to offshore activities or
development.
Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your
project area. It is not representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list
of all birds potentially present in your project area, please visit the AKN Phenology Tool.
What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds
potentially occurring in my specified location?
The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data
provided by the Avian Knowledge Network(AKN). This data is derived from a growing
collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets .
Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information
becomes available. To learn more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and
how to interpret them, go the Probability of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me
about these graphs" link.
How do I know if a bird is breeding,wintering, migrating or present year-round in my
project area?
To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding,
wintering, migrating or year-round), you may refer to the following resources: The Cornell Lab
of Ornithology All About Birds Bird Guide, or(if you are unsuccessful in locating the bird of
interest there), the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Neotropical Birds guide. If a bird on your
migratory bird species list has a breeding season associated with it, if that bird does occur in your

05/21/2019 Event Code: 04EN1000-2019-E-00928 5
project area, there may be nests present at some point within the timeframe specified. If"Breeds
elsewhere" is indicated, then the bird likely does not breed in your project area.
What are the levels of concern for migratory birds?
Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern:
1. "BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concern(BCC)that are of concern
throughout their range anywhere within the USA(including Hawaii, the Pacific Islands,
Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands);
2. "BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation
Regions (BCRs) in the continental USA; and
3. "Non-BCC -Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on
your list either because of the Eagle Act requirements (for eagles) or(for non-eagles)
potential susceptibilities in offshore areas from certain types of development or activities
(e.g. offshore energy development or longline fishing).
Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made,
in particular, to avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC
species of rangewide concern. For more information on conservation measures you can
implement to help avoid and minimize migratory bird impacts and requirements for eagles,
please see the FAQs for these topics.
Details about birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects
For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species
and groups of bird species within your project area off the Atlantic Coast,please visit the
Northeast Ocean Data Portal. The Portal also offers data and information about other taxa besides
birds that may be helpful to you in your project review.Alternately,you may download the bird
model results files underlying the portal maps through the NOAA NCCOS Integrative Statistical
Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic
Outer Continental Shelf project webpage.
Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use
throughout the year, including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this
information. For additional information on marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Study
and the nanotag studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam Loring.
What if I have eagles on my list?
If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid
violating the Eagle Act should such impacts occur.
Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report
The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of
birds of priority concern. To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for
identifying what other birds may be in your project area,please see the FAQ "What does IPaC
use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location". Please be
aware this report provides the "probability of presence" of birds within the 10 km grid cell(s) that

05/21/2019 Event Code: 04EN1000-2019-E-00928 6
overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. On the graphs provided,please also look
carefully at the survey effort (indicated by the black vertical bar) and for the existence of the "no
data" indicator(a red horizontal bar).A high survey effort is the key component. If the survey
effort is high, then the probability of presence score can be viewed as more dependable. In
contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and, therefore, a lack of
certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting point for
identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area,when they might
be there, and if they might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps you
know what to look for to confirm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement
conservation measures to avoid or minimize potential impacts from your project activities,
should presence be confirmed. To learn more about conservation measures, visit the FAQ "Tell
me about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory
birds" at the bottom of your migratory bird trust resources page.

U.S.The USDA Office Information Locator may be found at http://officcs.usda.gov/scripts/ndISAPl.dll/oip_public/USA map,or the offices can usually be
found in the Phone Book under U.S.Government,Department of Agriculture.A list of field offices is available from the NRCS State Conservationist and State
Office in each State.)
Step 3-NRCS will,within 10 working days after receipt of the completed form,make a determination as to whether the site(s)of the proposed project contains prime,
unique,statewide or local important farmland.(When a site visit or land evaluation system design is needed,NRCS will respond within 30 working days.
Step 4-For sites where farmland covered by the FPPA will be converted by the proposed project,NRCS will complete Parts II,IV and V of the form.
Step 5-NRCS will return the original copy of the form to the Federal agency involved in the project,and retain a file copy for NRCS records.
Step 6-The Federal agency involved in the proposed project will complete Parts VI and VII of the form and return the form with the final selected site to the servicing
NRCS office.
Step 7-The Federal agency providing financial or technical assistance to the proposed project will make a determination as to whether the proposed conversion is consistent
with the FPPA.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE FARMLAND CONVERSION IMPACT RATING FORM
(For Federal Agency)
Part I: When completing the "County and State" questions, list all the local governments that are responsible for local land
use controls where site(s)are to be evaluated.
Part III: When completing item B (Total Acres To Be Converted Indirectly), include the following:
1. Acres not being directly converted but that would no longer be capable of being farmed after the conversion, because the
conversion would restrict access to them or other major change in the ability to use the land for agriculture.
2. Acres planned to receive services from an infrastructure project as indicated in the project justification (e.g. highways,
utilities planned build out capacity)that will cause a direct conversion.
Part VI:Do not complete Part VI using the standard format if a State or Local site assessment is used. With local and NRCS
assistance, use the local Land Evaluation and Site Assessment(LESA).
1. Assign the maximum points for each site assessment criterion as shown in § 658.5(b) of CFR. In cases of corridor-type
project such as transportation, power line and flood control, criteria#5 and #6 will not apply and will, be weighted zero,
however, criterion #8 will be weighed a maximum of 25 points and criterion #11 a maximum of 25 points.
2. Federal agencies may assign relative weights among the 12 site assessment criteria other than those shown on the
FPPA rule after submitting individual agency FPPA policy for review and comment to NRCS. In all cases where other
weights are assigned, relative adjustments must be made to maintain the maximum total points at 160. For project sites
where the total points equal or exceed 160, consider alternative actions, as appropriate, that could reduce adverse
impacts (e.g. Alternative Sites, Modifications or Mitigation).
Part VII: In computing the "Total Site Assessment Points"where a State or local site assessment is used and the total
maximum number of points is other than 160, convert the site assessment points to a base of 160.
Example: if the Site Assessment maximum is 200 points, and the alternative Site "A" is rated 180 points:
Total points assigned Site A 180 X 160 = 144 points for Site A
Maximum points possible = 200
For assistance in completing this form or FPPA process, contact the local NRCS Field Office or USDA Service Center.
NRCS employees, consult the FPPA Manual and/or policy for additional instructions to complete the AD-1006 form.

Re: Laurel Springs Stream and Wetland mitigation project Avery County 19-009
FEMA Floodplain Requirements Checklist
Dear Mr. Burleson:
The purpose of this letter is to request concurrence from the Avery County concerning a stream and
wetland restoration site located in Avery County. The Site encompasses approximately 30 acres of
agricultural land used for livestock grazing and hay production. Existing Site streams have been
cleared, dredged of cobble substrate, trampled by livestock, eroded vertically and laterally, and
receive extensive sediment and nutrient inputs from livestock. Proposed activities at the Site include
the restoration of perennial and intermittent stream channels, enhancement of perennial stream
channel, and restoration of riparian wetlands.
Stream reaches are depicted on the attached figures and lengths/priority are as follows:
Reach Length Priority
Fork Creek 2401 Priority 1 Restoration and Enhancement (Level I)
UT 1 234 Priority 1 Restoration
UT 2A 25 Preservation
UT 2 926 Priority 1 Restoration,Enhancement(Level I and II),
and Preservation
UT 3A 103 Preservation
UT 3 1002 Enhancement(Level II)
UT 4 685 Priority 1 Restoration and Preservation
UT 5 127 Preservation
FEMA mapping was reviewed to determine if the project is located in a FEMA study area(DFIRM
panel numbers 1812 and 1813). Based on existing floodplain mapping, the Site is not located in a
Special Flood Hazard Area. Therefore, a"Conditional Letter of Map Revision" (CLOMR), and a
subsequent"Letter of Map Revision" (LOMR) are not expected for the project.
We thank you in advance for your timely response and cooperation. Please feel free to contact the
below referenced NC DMS Project Manager with any questions that you may have concerning the

extent of site disturbance associated with this project.
Yours truly,

A. Right of Access, Construction, and Inspection. The Grantee, its employees and agents,
successors and assigns, receive a perpetual Right of Access to the Conservation Easement Area
over the Property at reasonable times to undertake any activities on the property to restore,
construct, manage, maintain, enhance, protect, and monitor the stream, wetland and any other
riparian resources in the Conservation Easement Area, in accordance with restoration activities
or a long-term management plan. Unless otherwise specifically set forth in this Conservation
Easement, the rights granted herein do not include or establish for the public any access rights.
B. Restoration Activities. These activities include planting of trees, shrubs and herbaceous
vegetation, installation of monitoring wells, utilization of heavy equipment to grade, fill, and
prepare the soil, modification of the hydrology of the site, and installation of natural and

C. Signs. The Grantee, its employees and agents, successors or assigns, shall be permitted
to place signs and witness posts on the Property to include any or all of the following: describe
the project, prohibited activities within the Conservation Easement, or identify the project
boundaries and the holder of the Conservation Easement.
D. Fences. Conservation Easements are purchased to protect the investments by the State
(Grantee) in natural resources. Livestock within conservations easements damages the
investment and can result in reductions in natural resource value and mitigation credits which
would cause financial harm to the State. Therefore, Landowners (Grantor) with livestock are
required to restrict livestock access to the Conservation Easement area. Repeated failure to do so
may result in the State (Grantee) repairing or installing livestock exclusion devices (fences)
within the conservation area for the purpose of restricting livestock access. In such cases, the
landowner(Grantor)must provide access to the State (Grantee)to make repairs.
E. Crossing Area(s). The Grantee is not responsible for maintenance of crossing area(s),
however, the Grantee, its employees and agents, successors or assigns, reserve the right to repair
crossing area(s), at its sole discretion and to recover the cost of such repairs from the Grantor if
such repairs are needed as a result of activities of the Grantor, his successors or assigns.

allowed to prevent any activity within the Conservation Easement Area that is inconsistent with
the purposes of this Conservation Easement and to require the restoration of such areas or
features in the Conservation Easement Area that may have been damaged by such unauthorized
activity or use. Upon any breach of the terms of this Conservation Easement by Grantor, the
Grantee shall, except as provided below, notify the Grantor in writing of such breach and the
Grantor shall have ninety (90) days after receipt of such notice to correct the damage caused by
33239145.3B 13.26275.T28813
NCDMS Full Delivery Conservation Easement Template adopted 5 May 2017
Page 6 of 14

Book 550 Page 2079

enforce this Conservation Easement by bringing appropriate Iegal proceedings including an
action to recover damages, as well as injunctive and other relief. The Grantee shall also have the

and remedies of the Grantee provided hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, all
other rights and remedies available to Grantee in connection with this Conservation Easement.

any prudent action taken in good faith by the Grantor under emergency conditions to prevent,
abate, or mitigate significant injury to life or damage to the Property resulting from such causes.

incurred by Grantee in enforcing the terms of this Conservation Easement against Grantor,
including, without limitation, any costs of restoration necessitated by Grantor's acts or omissions
in violation of the terms of this Conservation Easement, shall be borne by Grantor.
E. No Waiver. Enforcement of this Easement shall be at the discretion of the Grantee and
any forbearance, delay or omission by Grantee to exercise its rights hereunder in the event of any
breach of any term set forth herein shall not be construed to be a waiver by Grantee.

APPENDIX J - MAINTENANCE PLAN
Mitigation Plan(Project No.100122) Appendices
Laurel Springs Stream and Wetland Restoration Site Restoration Systems,LLC
Avery County,North Carolina December 2020

Maintenance Plan
The Site shall be monitored on a regular basis and a physical inspection of the site shall be conducted a
minimum of once per year throughout the post-construction monitoring period until performance
standards are met. These site inspections may identify site components and features that require routine
maintenance. Routine maintenance should be expected most often in the first two years following site
construction and may include the following:
Component/Feature Maintenance through project close-out
Routine channel maintenance and repair activities may include securing of loose
coir matting and supplemental installations of live stakes and other target
Stream vegetation along the channel. Areas where stormwater and floodplain flows
intercept the channel may also require maintenance to prevent bank failures and
head-cutting.
Vegetation shall be maintained to ensure the health and vigor of the targeted
plant community. Routine vegetation maintenance and repair activities may
Vegetation
include supplemental planting, pruning, mulching,and fertilizing. Exotic invasive
plant species shall be controlled by mechanical and/or chemical methods. Any
vegetation control requiring herbicide application will be performed in
accordance with NC Department of Agriculture(NCDA) rules and regulations.
Beaver and associated dams are to be removed as they colonize and until the
Beaver
project is closed.
Site boundaries shall be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between
the mitigation site and adjacent properties. Boundaries may be identified by
Site Boundary fence, marker, bollard, post, tree- blazing, or other means as allowed by site
conditions and/or conservation easement. Boundary markers disturbed,
damaged,or destroyed will be repaired and/or replaced on an as needed basis.
Road crossings within the site may be maintained only as allowed by
Road Crossing Conservation Easement or existing easement,deed restrictions, rights of way, or
corridor agreements.

SYSTEMS'LLC
Task 1 a.) Inter-Agency Post Contract Site Visit: Site Visit Notes
As specified within RFP #16-007725, an on-site meeting with regulatory agencies and DMS staff was
conducted on July 24th, 2019. Below is a list of attendees and general site visit notes.
Attendees:
USACE: NC DWR:
- Todd Tugwell - Mac Haupt
- Kim Browning - Erin Davis
NC WRC: Restoration Systems:
Andrea Leslie - Raymond Holz
- Worth Creech
NC DMS:
- Paul Wiesner Axiom Environmental
- Matthew Reid - Grant Lewis
- Periann Russell
- Kirsten Ullman
Site Visit Notes:
- The Project can proceed as proposed
- Mitigation credit cannot be gained beneath powerlines located on the site. RS will remove the
existing powerline easement from the conservation easement and excluded the break from the
wider buffer tool GIS analysis.
- RS plans to align the dirt road which crosses UT-4 under the existing Powerline Easement to
minimize encroachment on the Project.
- All culverts which outfall into the project or are within the project will be reconnected to
streambed elevations to allow for aquatic species passage. Where required, culverts will be
removed, replaced, and inlets/outfalls buried for aquatic species passage.
- Riparian wetland credits are not currently contracted with DMS. RS will approach DMS and
propose to add wetland credit to the site (and DMS contract) upon receipt and review of the
project's USACE jurisdictional determination.
Stream Notes:
- A detailed topographic survey will be conducted to determine the practicality of restoring Fork
Creek to the valley center within the upper 1/3 of the project. The approach was approved in
theory by the IRT, though both the IRT and DMS voiced concerns of habitat loss from a relatively
high functioning reach of Fork Creek located immediately upstream of the existing barn. This is
not how the project was proposed, and any deviation from the proposal will be vetted and
approved by DMS before IRT review.

Laurel Springs Stream &Wetland Mitigation Site
Post Contract Award IRT Site Visit: 7-24-2019
NC DMS Contract#7890 RFP#16-007725 DMS/Project#100122
RS discussed the potential of restoring a 5th unnamed tributary located along the western
property boundary of the Project. Restoration would be achieved through priority 1, new
channel design within the valley footprint.The additional hydrology would help restore drained
hydric soils within the upper 1/3 of the Project. Detailed topo work would determine if the
stream would tie back into Fork creek above the existing barn, or stay within the valley and
connect below the upper crossing.The Project was not proposed with this option, and any
deviation from the proposal will be vetted and approved by DMS.
- IRT members noted historical issues with maintaining channels within the floodplain of larger
systems. In this case,the restoration of UT-3 and UT-4 within Fork Creek's floodplain.
- UT-1: crediting and approach approved as proposed.
- UT-2: crediting and approach approved as proposed with further justification on approach
required. Given the high amount of sedimentation within the system immediately above and
below the existing crossing, DWR Rep. Mac Haulpt raised concerns regarding the mitigation
approach in this area. During the detailed topographic survey of the Site, these areas will be
probed and surveyed to determine the most suitable mitigation approach, paying particular
attention to the existing wetlands and the stabilization of those wetlands.
The alignment of the existing road will be altered to fit within the existing powerline easement,
minimizing long-term impacts to the project.
- UT-3: approved as proposed with the removal of stream credit under the existing powerline
easement.
- UT-4: approved as proposed.
Wetland Notes:
- The appropriate wetland type (forested vs.scrub-shrub)for the project was discussed throughout
the site. RS will attempt to locate reference wetlands within the area to determine an appropriate
balance of forested and scrub-shrub wetland for the site. Detailed topography of the valley will
aide in this determination.A habitat description, restoration approach, monitoring standard, etc.
will be completed for each type within the Mitigation Plan.
- Existing Wetlands (labeled as Enhancement in Figure 5 of the Technical Proposal) are suitable for
Rehabilitation (1.5:1 ratio) if groundwater gauges are installed to survey a baseline, and
monitoring shows an increase in the hydroperiod.

Thanks Paul. The wetland notes start with the following:
The appropriate wetland type (forested vs. scrub-shrub)for the project was discussed throughout
the site. RS will attempt to locate reference wetlands within the area to determine an appropriate
balance of forested and scrub-shrub wetland for the site.
I want to emphasize that the wetlands may also include herbaceous areas, and a mosaic of herbaceous and
shrub-scrub may be more appropriate for this area. An emphasis on forested wetlands may be
inappropriate. However, I'll let Grant, Ray, Matthew, and others do their work to determine an appropriate
set of references for this site.
