Ian and Larry,
FYI we met with the folks at NCSU to review the site and identify our monitoring gauge locations. We're getting the
gauges on order today and will let you know when they're installed (rain and single GW gauge for now). David Cooper of
our office will be taking the lead on this one.
Have you had a chance to review the final Monitoring Plan I sent on Monday? Please let me know if you have any
questions.
Regards,
Patrick

Subject: NCSU N4 Cluster Stream Monitoring Plan
Ian and Larry,
As promised attached please find the final version of our proposed Monitoring Plan for the NCSU N4 Cluster Stream
Restoration Project.
The majority of the document is the same as the Draft we'd reviewed during our meeting at your office on January 20th. I
have made slight revision to select wording for clarification purposes but none that are beyond the content of our
discussions to date the most notable change is to the first note in the Monitoring Reporting section that now reads:
a. Based upon the results of local groundwater monitoring, a request may be made to the Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) on behalf of the Owner to release the project from future local groundwater
monitoring requirements or the cessation of site monitoring activities altogether.
I believe this is in keeping with our discussion. Thanks again for your patience while we sorted through some
administrative issues.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Regards,

Patrick

RE: Stream Restoration Project - N4 Cluster - NCSU Centennial Campus
Proposed Monitoring Plan
Monitorin~ponents -
General restoration monitoring shall include scheduled overall stability reviews
consisting of a traverse of the length of the restored stream and adjacent buffer for the
purpose of observing the overall condition of the channel bed and banks, installed
structures, and general vegetative success. Close attention will be paid to indications
of instability, erosion, sloughing, subsidence, and/or collapse of channel banks and
structures.
2. Photo point will be established at various locations along the restoration reach and
within the adjacent buffer area for comparison with future monitoring visits. Photo
points will be GPS located for use in monitoring reports.
Localized (presumably perched) groundwater location will be monitored utilizing
Infinities USA, Inc. pressure water level data loggers. A total of three (3)
groundwater monitoring gauges will be installed on site, including two (2) along the
restoration reach and one (1) in the undisturbed stream segment immediately
upstream of the restoration reach. Regularly scheduled download and processing of
collected data will be performed.
4. Rainfall data will be collected using a single Infinities USA, Inc. rain gauge data
logger installed in the immediate vicinity of the stream restoration. Regularly
scheduled download and processing of collected data will be performed.
NOTES:
a. A single pressure water level data logger within the undisturbed stream segment
and rain gauge will be installed on site on site for a minimum thirty (30) days
prior to the initiation of restoration construction activities.
b. The two pressure water lever data loggers within the restoration reach will be
installed during or immediately following construction, and in such a fashion so
as not to penetrate the impervious geo-membrane beneath the restored channel
bed.
Page 1 of 2

Monitoring Schedule -
Monitoring will be performed for a period of five (5) years following the completion
of restoration construction unless a lesser monitoring period is otherwise approved, in
writing by NCDENR-DWQ.
2. Stability review site visits will be conducted on a quarterly basis for the first year and
on an annual basis for the remaining four years of the required monitoring period.
3. Gauge downloads (groundwater and rain gauge) will be conducted on a monthly basis
for the first year and on a quarterly basis for the remainder of the monitoring period.
Monitoring_Reporting -
1. An annual written report summarizing stability reviews, the results of local
groundwater and rain gauge monitoring, and the overall restoration success for the
monitoring year will be submitted to DWQ by June l sc of each monitoring year.
2. This report shall include the date of each site visit, a qualitative description of the
condition of the restoration reach, sequential digital photographs of each photo point,
local groundwater and rain gauge monitoring results, and a description of any repairs
or corrections to the restoration reach or buffer, including dates of completion.
NOTES:
a. Based upon the results of local groundwater monitoring, a request may be made
to the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on behalf of the Owner to release the
project from future local groundwater monitoring requirements or the cessation
of site monitoring activities altogether.
b. Observed problem indicators will be noted and reported to DWQ within 48
hours of identification.
c. Indications of hydrologic change will be noted and reported to DWQ within 48
hours of identification.
