3. Project Description
3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this
application:
The Big Warrior Creek mitigation site (EEP Project #: 00412) is in a watershed of forested, agriculture and residential use.
The land use along Mountain Creek, a tributary of Big warrior Creek is composed of small rural farms containing pastures
and forested woodlots. Stream restoration was completed November 2004. The project has subsequently undergone
five years of monitoring and is currently being considered for closeout. Large storm events between March and
December 2009 caused several new problem areas along Mountain Creek. The first rock vane failed at station 0+0 and
caused the stream to divert the structure entirely, resulting in 40ft of bank erosion on the right stream bank (Figure 4).
Also, massive bank erosion occurred on the left stream bank at station 7+90. The left stream bank moved approximately
10 ft to the left on approximately 60 If of stream. However, the low flow channel did not move to the left stream bank,
instead a low inner berm feature was created. The fence defining the easement limits was moved further away from the
stream in order tto maintain the fence's integrity.
3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
No wetlands were identified within the existing stream mitigation site.
3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property:
Approximately 11,000 If of prennial and intermittent streams within the Big Warrior Creek mitigation site
3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
The goal of this project is to repair the two eroding stream banks at station 0+0 and station 7+90 on Mountain Creek in
order for the stream mitigation site to meet USACE success criteria. The overarching goal of the Big Warrior Creek
Stream Mitigation Project was to establish a stable planform, cross-section, and profile pattern to Big Warrior Creek and
it's tributaries, with the premise that geomorphic and habitat function will follow appropriate channel form.
3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
See attached Warrior Creek scope of work for more detail.
Boulders from the failed rock vane at station 0+00 on Mountain Creek will be removed from the channel. A small rock vane
will be installed on the right bank at station 0+00 in order to center the thalweg in the stream channel. Both stream banks
will be re-shaped and a bankfull bench will be created based on 2002 design typicals.
The boulders from station 0+00 will be used to protect the toe of the eroding left stream bank at station 7+90. The stream
bank will be sloped down to the boulder toe protection. All of this work will be accomplished at the back of the inner berm
and will not impact the wetted channel.
Commission staff will be on site at all times to supervise construction activities. Any modification in design due to changes in
on-site conditions will be approved by the Commission designer. Equipment will only access the stream when absolutely
necessary. Mountain Creek will be crossed twice at what appears to be an old crossing; once to access the area near
station 0+00 and once to leave this work area. It has been determined that removing the rock vane will best be
accomplished from the right stream bank. It is anticipated that all track hoe work can be accomplished from the top of the
bank. All construction materials including rock, plants, and erosion control materials will be stockpiled at designated
locations. To limit disturbance of soils, all equipment will travel along identified travel corridors.
Disturbance of soils will be limited to only what work can be accomplished and stabilized on a daily basis. As a structure
is completed, the site will be reshaped at a 2:1 slope, hand seeded with a temporary and permanent native seed mix,
mulched with straw and covered 700 g/m2 coir fiber erosion control matting. The matting will be anchored in place with
18in stakes. Disturbed floodplain terraces will be hand seeded with a temporary and permanent native seed mix and
mulched with straw. The disturbed areas will be further stabilized with native trees and shrubs planted at a density of 450
stems/acre. The disturbed areas in the pasture will be seeded with a pasture seed mixture and mulched with straw.

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Only areas with active bank erosion and channel instability will be targeted for maintenance work with the use of heavy
equipment. The use of in-stream structures was minimized. Work within the existing channels was preferred over excavating
new channels. The length and location of haul roads were minimized.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
During construction, heavy equipment will only access the stream when absolutely necessary. It is anticipated that all track
hoe work can be accomplished from the top of the bank. All disturbed areas will) be covered with temporary and permanent
seed mixes, straw mulch, and coir matting to reduce erosion. Only the amount of stream bank that can be stabilized by the
end of the work day will be disturbed. All staging areas and soil stockpile areas will be on high ground and surrounded by silt
fencing. Equipment will be inspected and maintained to prevent any pollutants from leaking into surface waters. Additional
sediment and erosion control practices will be implemented when needed.

Introduction
In 2004, approximately 11,035 liner feet (If) of Big Warrior Creek and two of its tributaries
were restored in Wilkes County (Figure 1). Through subsequent monitoring of the project site,
woody vegetation densities throughout the project sites did not meet the success criteria of 260
stems/acre (USACE 2003). Additionally, several sections of stream bank and a structure on one
of the tributaries, Mountain Creek, have become unstable and are in need of repair (URS 2010).
The fifth year of monitoring has been completed and the site is now being proposed for closeout.
The North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) requested the North Carolina
Wildlife Resources Commission (Commission) prepare a scope of work entailing supplemental
vegetation planting and stream maintenance plan, permit application, management of informal
contracts, construction oversight, providing photographic documentation of the repairs, and one
year of monitoring.
Project Team
The team for the project will consist of a biologist experience in natural channel design
techniques and a biological technician. They will be responsible for completing all field work
associated with the project. This team will be working from the Elkin field office.
Mark Fowlkes - Watershed Enhancement Coordinator
Joshua Hubbell - Watershed Enhancement Technician
Project oversight, quality assurance, and general administration will be handled by the
program manager.
Shannon L. Deaton, PE - Habitat Conservation Program Manager.
Project Need
The purpose of this plan is to delineate the additional work that EEP has identified as
necessary to ensure the success of the mitigation project on Warrior Creek mitigation site in
Wilkes County. Maintenance work is required to ensure the long-term stability of the project
and to meet the success criteria required by the regulatory agencies as a condition of releasing
the mitigation credits associated with the project. This scope of work describes existing
conditions, specific work needed to complete the repairs, and provides a cost estimate to
complete the work.
Project Goals/Objectives
The goals of the project are to provide supplemental planting throughout the project site and
repair the stream channel and floodplain bench on Mountain Creek in order to meet the required
success criteria (USACE 2003). In order to meet these goals, the project objectives include, but
are not limited to the following:
1. Plant native trees and shrubs at designated areas throughout the project site to supplement
existing woody vegetation (Figure 2, Table 1).
3
2. Remove a failed rock weir and re-shape the stream banks on the Mountain Creek and
reestablish a bankfull bench to restore stream channel dimension.
3. Stabilize the back end of an inner berm by providing toe slope protection.
4. Plant native trees, shrubs, and herbaceous ground cover on all disturbed stream banks to
provide long-term bank stability, stream shading, and cover and food for wildlife.
5. Monitor repairs for two growing seasons to document success.
Existing Conditions
The project is located in the Yadkin River basin, piedmont physiographic region, Wilkes
County (Hydrologic Unit Code: 03040101, NCDWQ sub-basin: YADOI). The drainage area of
Mountain Creek at the site is 1.7 mil (Figure 1). The land use along Mountain Creek is
composed of small rural farms containing pastures and forested woodlots. Creeks in the project
site flow through an alluvial valley (Type VIII) with Toccoa sandy loam and Douge fine sandy
loam as the dominate soils.
Stream restoration was completed November 2004. The project has subsequently undergone
five years of monitoring and is currently being considered for closeout. The 2009 Monitoring
Year 5 report (URS 2010) indicated that the planted woody vegetation is doing poorly along all
three reaches. Only 5 of the 16 vegetation plots met the planted stem success criteria (USACE
2003). When volunteer stems are included, an additional three plots meet the success criteria.
Large storm events between March and December 2009 caused several new problem areas
along Mountain Creek. The first rock vane failed at station 0+0 and caused the stream to divert
the structure entirely, resulting in 40ft of bank erosion on the right stream bank (Figure 4). Also,
massive bank erosion occurred on the left stream bank at station 7+90. The left stream bank
moved approximately 10 ft to the left on approximately 601f of stream. However, the low flow
channel did not move to the left stream bank, instead a low inner berm feature was created. The
fence along the conservation easement had to be moved back because of the bank erosion.
Proposed Improvements
To augment the low woody stem density throughout the Warrior Creek mitigation site, the
floodplain will be planted at designated areas (Figure 2) with a total of 345 containerized trees
and shrubs (Table 1). These areas will be planted at densities of either 100 stems/acre or 200
stems/acre, in order to exceed the success criteria of 260 stemstacre (USACE 2003).
Boulders from the failed rock vane at station 0+00 on Mountain Creek (Figure 3 and 4) will
be removed from the channel. A small rock vane will be installed on the right bank at station
0+00 in order to center the thalweg in the stream channel (Figure 5). Both stream banks will be
re-shaped and a bankfull bench will be created based on 2002 design typicals (Figure 6).
The boulders from station 0+00 will be used to protect the toe of the eroding left stream bank
at station 7+90. The stream bank will be sloped down to the boulder toe protection (Figure 7).
All of this work will be accomplished at the back of the inner berm and will not impact the
wetted channel.
4
Commission staff will be on site at all times to supervise construction activities. Any
modification in design due to changes in on-site conditions will be approved by the Commission
designer. Equipment will only access the stream when absolutely necessary. Mountain Creek
will be crossed twice at what appears to be an old crossing; once to access the area near station
0+00 and once to leave this work area. It has been determined that removing the rock vane will
best be accomplished from the right stream bank. It is anticipated that all track hoe work can be
accomplished from the top of the bank. All construction materials including rock, plants, and
erosion control materials will be stockpiled at designated locations (Figure 3). To limit
disturbance of soils, all equipment will travel along identified travel corridors.
Disturbance of soils will be limited to only what work can be accomplished and stabilized on
a daily basis. As a structure is completed, the site will be reshaped at a 2:1 slope, hand seeded
with a temporary and permanent native seed mix (Table 2), mulched with straw and covered 700
ghn2 coir fiber erosion control matting (Figure 8). The matting will be anchored in place with
18in stakes. Disturbed floodplain terraces will be hand seeded with a temporary and permanent
native seed mix and mulched with straw. The disturbed areas will be further stabilized with
native trees and shrubs (Table 1) planted at a density of 450 stems/acre. The disturbed areas in
the pasture will be seeded with a pasture seed mixture and mulched with straw (Table 2).
Sediment and Erosion Control
A Certificate of Plan Approval from the North Carolina Division of Land Resources, Land
Quality Section is not required for this project because only 0.30 acre of land will be disturbed.
However, standard erosion and sediment control practices will be used.
We will access the property from Highway 18 on to an improved paved/gravel access road.
Heavy equipment will be unloaded and loaded from this point and travel along an unimproved
farm road to the stream repair site.
Monitoring
Vegetation and the stream repair will be monitored for two growing seasons, September 2011
and July 2012. Monitoring will consist of photographic documentation and planted vegetation
stem counts to determine survivorship at four plots (Figure 9). A monitoring summary report
will be produced at the end of each monitoring year.
Project Schedule
The project schedule depends on the date EEP issues a project agreement. The following is a
tentative project timeline based on an estimated agreement execution date:
• Scoping document and design plans to EEP
• EEP issues project agreement and
design plan approval

Conclusion
Completion of this maintenance work will ensure adequate densities of woody vegetation and
significantly reduce stream bank erosion and associated in-stream structure failure that is
occurring on Mountain Creek. These repairs and improvements will contribute to ensuring the
overall success of this restoration project and qualify it for closeout consideration by the
regulatory agencies.
