Dear Mr. Reid:
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. (Wildlands) has reviewed the Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) comments
from the Draft Monitoring Year 5 report for the Henry Fork Mitigation Project. DMS's comments are noted
below in bold. Wildlands' responses to those comments are noted in italics.
DMS comment: Please add the following information to the title page:
o USACE # 2014-00538
o DWR # 20140193
Wildlonds response: The USACE and DWR numbers hove been added to the title page.
DMS comment: Executive Summary: Please update the WMUs from 4.221 to 4.222. This is the official
WMU total used on the debit ledgers.
Wildlonds response: The WMUs hove been updated from 4.221 and 4.222 in the Executive Summary and
Project Overview. Toble 1 was also updated with the official WMU total used on the debit ledgers.
DMS comment: Vegetation Areas of Concern: The report indicates a supplemental planting occurred
in March 2020. Please include a brief description of the supplemental planting effort. Include
approximate number of bare roots, live stakes, or containerized plants that were installed and the
approximate acreage of the replant area.
Wildlonds response: Text was added to section 1.2.5 to describe the supplemental planting effort that
occurred in March 2020.
DMS comment: Wetlands: GWG 8 has failed to meet success criteria for five monitoring years. Please
update the report with the acreage of wetland re-establishment that is at risk of not meeting success
criteria. Please be prepared to discuss this area during the 2020 credit release meeting.

Wildlands response: Text has been added to section 1.2.5 indicating the acreage of wetland re-
establishment that is at risk of not meeting criteria. A map figure showing this at risk area has been
included in Appendix 6. Wildlands will be prepared to discuss this area during the 2020 credit release
meeting.
DMS comment: The report discusses the wetland addendum letter submitted to DMS on October 6,
2020 and includes the letter in the appendix. Please also include that the IRT responded on October
28, 2020 with several concerns regarding the addendum and include the IRT email in the appendix.
Please also note that the wetland addendum request is not resolved at this point.
Wildlands response: The IRT comments from October 28, 2020 and the subsequent email responses from
Wildlands have been included in Appendix 6. It is noted in the report text that the wetland addendum
request has not been resolved at the time of the annual monitoring report submittal.
DMS comment: Groundwater Gage Plots: The note at the bottom of the graphs regarding the barotroll
malfunction is unclear. It says the data collected during the February and April 16-17 malfunctions
were omitted, but then then says the readings conducted during April 16-22 was verified and
included. Is the April 16 date in the verified statement supposed to be April 21? Please review and
revise as necessary.
Wildlands response: The note at the bottom of the groundwater gage plots has been revised and
simplified to indicate that the data collected during the February and April malfunctions was omitted
from the reported data.
DMS comment: All but GWG 8 are meeting success criteria; however, most are meeting the success
criteria using the barotroll from another site. Are any of the gages meeting the 8.5% or 20 consecutive
day success criteria earlier in the growing season before the barotroll failure? Please be prepared to
discuss how the barotroll is used to calibrate data and the effects of using one from offsite during the
credit release meeting.
Wildlands response: All the GWGs, except GWG 8, had additional intervals of meeting the 20 consecutive
day success criteria earlier in the growing season before the onsite barotroll failure on August 1, 2020:
GWG 1: 3/20 to 4/8 (20 consecutive days)
GWG 2: 3/20 to 4/10 (22 consecutive days)
GWG 3: 3/20 to 4/10 (22 consecutive days)
GWG 4: 4/23 to 6/7 (45 consecutive days)
GWG 5: 4/23 to 8/1 (100 consecutive days)
GWG 6: 4/23 to 7/17 (85 consecutive days)
GWG 7: 4/23 to 5/15 (22 consecutive days)
GWG 9: 4/23 to 7/2 (70 consecutive days)
GWG 10: 4/23 to 8/1 (100 consecutive days)
GWG 11: 4/23 to 6/7 (45 consecutive days)
GWG 12: 3/20 to 4/16 (28 consecutive days)
GWG 13: 4/23 to 8/1 (100 consecutive days)
GWG 14: 4/23 to 5/16 (23 consecutive days)
GWG 15: 4/23 to 5/15 (22 consecutive days)

Wildlands will be prepared at the 2020 credit release meeting to discuss that the barotroll is used to
calibrate the groundwater gage pressure based on the local atmospheric pressure. The positive pressure
difference is then used to calculate the depth of water above the groundwater gage sensor. In addition,
the offsite barotroll data (Owl's Den Mitigation Site) that was used after 81112020 was plotted against
the onsite barotroll data available earlier in the year with the sites' elevation difference taken into
account to verify that the offsite barotroll was an appropriate substitution to use.
Digital Files Review
DMS comment: The stream gauge data excel spreadsheet will not open, which is likely caused by
macros. Please resubmit these data in excel, ensuring that the spreadsheet can be open.
Wildlands response: Wildlands is able to open the stream gage data spreadsheet that was provided to
DMS in the electronic support files. There is a large amount of data associated with the stream gages
since they are programmed to collect measurements every 30 minutes. Therefore, the stream gage
spreadsheet usually requires more time than a typical excel file to fully open.
Enclosed please find one (1) hard copies and one (1) electronic copy on CD of the Final Monitoring
Report. Please contact me at 828-545-3865 if you have any questions.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Wildlands Engineering Inc. (Wildlands) implemented a full delivery project at the Henry Fork Mitigation
Site (Site) for the North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services (DIMS) to restore 3,057 linear feet (LF) of
perennial streams and enhance 2,626 LF of intermittent streams, enhance 0.68 acres of existing
wetlands, rehabilitate 0.25 acres of existing wetlands, and re-establish 3.71 acres of wetlands in
Catawba County, NC. The Site is expected to generate 4,807.667 stream mitigation units (SMUs) and
4.222 wetland mitigation units (WMUs) (Table 1). The Site is located near the City of Hickory in Catawba
County, INC, in the Catawba River Basin eight -digit Cataloging Unit (CU) 03050102 and the 14-digit
Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03050102010030 (Figure 1).
The project's compensatory mitigation credits will be used in accordance with the In -Lieu Fee (ILF)
Program Instrument dated July 28, 2010, the expanded service area as defined under the September 12,
2006 PACG memorandum, and/or DIMS acceptance and regulatory permit conditions associated with
DIMS ILF requirements. Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03050102010030, Lower Henry Fork, was identified
as a Targeted Local Watershed (TLW) in DIMS' 2007 Catawba River Basin Restoration Priority (RBRP)
Plan. The project streams consist of four unnamed tributaries (UTs) to the Henry Fork River on the site
of a former golf course, referred to herein as UT1, UT2, UT1A, and UT1B (Figure 2). The project also
consists of several wetland restoration components, as well as buffer planting along Henry Fork. The
project watershed consists of agricultural, forested, and residential land uses.
The project goals established in the Mitigation Plan (Wildlands, 2015) were completed with careful
consideration of goals and objectives that were described in the RBRP and to meet DIMS mitigation needs
while maximizing the ecological and water quality uplift within the watershed. The established project
goals include:
• Permanently protect the project site from harmful uses;
• Correct modifications to streams, wetlands, and buffers;
• Improve and re-establish hydrology and function of previously cleared wetlands;
• Reduce current erosion and sedimentation;
• Reduce nutrient inputs to streams and wetlands and downstream water bodies;
• Improve instream habitat; and
• Provide and improve terrestrial habitat and native floodplain forest.
The Site construction and as -built surveys were completed between November 2015 and March 2016.
Monitoring Year (MY) 5 assessments and site visits were completed between January and November
2020.
Overall, the Site has met the required stream and vegetation success criteria for MY5. Geomorphic
surveys indicate that cross-section bankfull dimensions closely match the baseline with minor deviations
due to natural sediment transport processes, and streams are functioning as intended. All project
streams recorded at least one bankfull event or greater in MY5. The bankfull performance standard had
been met for the Site in MY4. The vegetation assessment resulted in an average planted stem density of
564 stems per acre and is exceeding the interim success criterion of 260 stems per acre for MY5 and on
track to meet the performance criteria of 210 stems per acre in MY7. In addition, all fifteen vegetation
plots exceeded this requirement. Fourteen of the fifteen groundwater monitoring gages installed on the
Site met or exceeded the hydrologic success criteria for MY5. The MY5 visual assessment revealed a few
areas of concern including pockets of invasive plant species and areas of low stem growth. Areas of
concern will continue to be monitored and adaptive management will be performed as needed.

Monitoring Year 5 Annual Report — FINAL
Section 1: PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Site is located near the City of Hickory in Catawba County, INC, in the Catawba River Basin eight -digit
CU 03050102 and the 14-digit HUC 03050102010030 (Figure 1). Access to the Site is via Mountain View
Road, approximately one mile southwest of Hickory, North Carolina. Situated in the Inner Piedmont Belt
of the Piedmont Physiographic Province (USGS, 1998), the project watershed consists of agricultural,
forested, and residential land uses. The drainage area for the Site is 178 acres (0.28 square miles).
The project streams consist of four unnamed tributaries (UTs) to the Henry Fork River on the site of a
former golf course, referred to herein as UT1, UT2, UT1A, and UT1B. Stream restoration reaches
included UT1 (Reach 1 and 2) and UT1B, together comprising 3,057 LF of perennial stream channel.
Stream enhancement reaches included UT1A and UT2, together totaling 2,626 LF. Stream enhancement
activities for UT1A and UT2 were the same as for restoration reaches; however, the tributaries are
intermittent and were credited as enhancement. The riparian areas of the tributaries, as well as a 100-
foot wide buffer along the project side of Henry Fork, were planted with native vegetation to improve
habitat and protect water quality. Wetland components included enhancement of 0.68 acres of existing
wetlands, rehabilitation of 0.25 acres of existing wetlands and re-establishment of 3.71 acres of
wetlands.
Construction activities were completed by Land Mechanic Designs, Inc. in March 2016. Planting and
seeding activities were completed by Bruton Natural Systems, Inc. in March 2016. A conservation
easement has been recorded and is in place on 48.06 acres (Deed Book 03247, Page Number 0476-
0488) within a tract owned by WEI-Henry Fork, LLC. The project is expected to generate 4,807.667 SMUs
and 4.222 WMUs. Annual monitoring will be conducted for seven years. Close-out is anticipated to
commence in 2023 given the success criteria are met. Appendix 1 provides more detailed project
activity, history, contact information, and watershed/site background information for this project.
Directions and a map of the Site are provided in Figure 1 and project components are illustrated for the
Site in Figure 2.
1.1 Project Goals and Objectives
This Site is intended to provide numerous ecological benefits within the Catawba River Basin. The Site
will help meet the goals for the watershed outlined in the RBRP and provide numerous ecological
benefits within the Catawba River Basin. While many of these benefits are limited to the Henry Fork
project area, others, such as pollutant removal, reduced sediment loading, and improved aquatic and
terrestrial habitat, have farther -reaching effects. Expected improvements to water quality and ecological
processes are outlined below as project goals and objectives. These project goals established were
completed with careful consideration of goals and objectives that were described in the RBRP and to
meet the DMS mitigation needs while maximizing the ecological and water quality uplift within the
watershed.
The following project specific goals established in the Mitigation Plan (Wildlands, 2015) include:
• Permanently protect the project site from harmful uses; and
• Correct modifications to streams, wetlands and buffers;
• Improve and re-establish hydrology and function of previously cleared wetlands;
• Reduce current erosion and sedimentation;
• Reduce nutrient inputs to streams and wetlands, and to downstream water bodies;
• Improve instream habitat; and
• Provide and improve terrestrial habitat and native floodplain forest.
Henry Fork Mitigation Site
Monitoring Year 5 Annual Report — FINAL 1-1
The project goals were addressed through the following project objectives:
• Decommissioning the existing golf course and establishing a conservation easement on the Site
will eliminate direct chemical fertilizer, pesticide, and herbicide inputs;
• Resizing and realigning channels to address stream dredging and ditching. Planting native woody
species in riparian zones which have been maintained through mowing. By correcting these
prior modifications, the channels and floodplains will provide a suite of hydrologic and biological
function;
• Restoring appropriate stream dimensions and juxtaposition of streams and wetlands on the
landscape. Wetlands will be enhanced through more frequent overbank flooding, and by
reducing the drawdown effect that current ditched channels have on wetland hydrology;
thereby, enhancing wetland connectivity to the local water table. The project will extend
existing wetland zones into adjacent areas and support wetland functions;
• Removing historic overburden to uncover relic hydric soils. Roughen wetland re-establishment.
Restore streams for wetland benefit. Each of these will bring local water table elevations closer
to the ground surface. Create overbank flooding and depressional storage for overland and
overbank flow retention. Decrease direct runoff, and increase infiltration;
• Planting a native vegetation community on the Site to revegetate the riparian buffers and
wetlands. Conduct soil restoration through topsoil harvesting and reapplication and leaf litter
harvesting and application from adjacent forested areas. This will return functions associated
with buffers and forested floodplains, as well as enhance soil productivity and bring native
biological activity and seed into the disturbed areas;
• Constructing diverse and stable channel form with varied stream bedform and installing habitat
features, along with removing culverts. These will allow aquatic habitat quality and connectivity
enhancement; and
• Placing a portion of the right bank Henry Fork floodplain under a conservation easement, and
planting all stream buffers and wetlands with native species. Creating a 100-foot wide corridor
of wooded riparian buffer along that top right bank area and re-establishing native plant
communities and habitat connectivity within Site to adjoining natural areas along the river
corridor.
1.2 Monitoring Year 5 Data Assessment
Annual monitoring was conducted between January and November 2020 to assess the condition of the
project. The stream, vegetation, and hydrologic success criteria for the Site follows the approved success
criteria presented in the Henry Fork Mitigation Plan (Wildlands, 2015).
1.2.1 Stream Assessment
Morphological surveys for MY5 were conducted in April and June 2020. Throughout the Site, the cross-
section survey results indicate that channel dimensions are stable and continuing to function with
minimal adjustments. Along UT1 Reach 1 and Reach 2, the establishment of juncus/herbaceous
vegetation along the edge of water (XS1, XS4, and XS5 riffles) is causing the channel to narrow
somewhat; however, this is not an indicator of instability. The pool max depth has decreased since as -
built for the XS2 along UT1 Reach 1 but does not seem to be representative to the pools in this reach.
Cross -sections along UT1A display some deposition with decreased cross -sectional areas but have
maintained max depths and are still functioning as a single thread channel. Similarly, along UT1B, cross -
sections show some deposition but to a lesser extent than UT1A with minimal change in cross -sectional
areas compared to as -built. The cross -sections along UT2 have retained stable dimensions throughout
the monitoring period thus far.
Henry Fork Mitigation Site
Monitoring Year 5 Annual Report — FINAL 1-2
In general, MY5 pebble counts in UT1 and UT1B indicate a maintenance of coarser material in the riffle
features and finer particles in the pool features. Please refer to Appendix 4 for the cross-section plots,
pebble count plots, and morphology summary tables.
1.2.2 Stream Hydrology Assessment
At the end of the seven-year monitoring period, two or more bankfull events must have occurred in
separate years within the restoration reaches. The success criteria were met for the project after MY4.
During MY5, all stream reaches recorded at least one additional bankfull event.
In addition to monitoring bankfull events, intermittent streams must be monitored to demonstrate a
minimum of 30 consecutive days of flow during periods of normal rainfall. Stream gages installed on
intermittent channels (UT1A and UT2) indicated each stream recorded at least 117 consecutive days of
baseflow. The number of consecutive days was likely longer than what is reported due to a malfunction
with the on -site barotroll. A new barotroll will be installed on the Site before the start of MY6. The
presence of baseflow was also observed in UT1, UT1A, UT1B, and UT2 during each site visit; thereby,
confirming recorded stream gage data. Refer to Appendix 5 for hydrology summary data and plots.
1.2.3 Vegetative Assessment
A total of 15 vegetation plots (VPs) were established during baseline monitoring within the project
easement area using standard 10 by 10 meter plots. Vegetation plots are monitored in accordance with
the guidelines and procedures developed by the Carolina Vegetation Survey-EEP Level 2 Protocol (Lee et
al., 2008). The final vegetative performance standard will be the survival of 210 planted stems per acre
in the planted riparian and wetland corridor at the end of the required seven-year monitoring period.
The interim measure of vegetative success for the Site is the survival of at least 260 stems per acre at
the end of MY5.
The MY5 vegetative survey was completed in July 2020 and resulted in an average stem density of 564
planted stems per acre for the Site with a range of 445 — 648 planted stems per acre per plot. The Site,
as well as all 15 vegetation plots (100%) are exceeding the MY5 density of 260 planted stems per acre.
The MY5 average stem height for all plots is about 6 feet. The vegetation plots with the lowest average
heights and vigor (health scores) included VP 6, 7, and 11. These vegetation plots are located within or
near the wetland re-establishment areas and saturated soil conditions are deterring some stem growth.
Please refer to section 1.2.5 for further discussion about areas of low stem vigor/height.
Approximately 81% of the planted stems monitored in vegetation plots are thriving with a health score
of 3 or greater. The planted tree species with the highest health scores included willow oak (Quercus
phellos), river birch (eetula nigra), persimmon (Diospyros virginiana), and sycamore (Platanus
occidentalis). About 15% of the stems have a vigor of 2 or less indicating some damage is present, and
about 1% of the monitored stems were missing in MY5. The poor tree health is a result of suffocation
from herbaceous plants or vines, insects, deer, wet or dry soil conditions, or other unknown factors.
There was only a stem mortality of 3% between MY3 and MY5 vegetation assessments. Please refer to
Appendix 2 for vegetation plot photographs, Current Condition Plant View (CCPV) Figures for vegetation
plot locations, and Appendix 3 for vegetation data tables.
1.2.4 Wetland Assessment
Following construction, groundwater gages (GWGs) were distributed so that the data collected would
provide a reasonable indication of groundwater levels throughout the wetland components on the Site.
Additional gages have been added to further refine this data. A gage was established in an adjacent
reference wetland and is being utilized to compare with the hydrologic response within the restored
wetland areas at the Site. A barotroll logger to measure barometric pressure used in the calculations of
Henry Fork Mitigation Site
Monitoring Year 5 Annual Report — FINAL 1-3
groundwater levels with gage transducer data was installed on the Site. The onsite barotroll quit
working on 8/1/2020 so the remaining data was calibrated using the barotroll from a nearby mitigation
site (Owl's Den Mitigation Site) which is located in Lincoln, County approximately 15 miles from the Site.
A new barotroll will be installed at the beginning of MY6 (2021). The rainfall data is collected from an
existing NC CRONOS station (Hickory 4.8 SW, NC). All monitoring gages were downloaded on a quarterly
basis and maintained on an as needed basis. A soil temperature gage was also installed on Site in
October 2016. Wildlands is using the soil temperature probe data to confirm the dates defined in the
WETS table for Burke County, NC, as needed. The WETS growing season is not available for Catawba
County; however, a growing season is defined for historic weather data collected at the Hickory Regional
Airport in Burke County, which is approximately 3 miles as the crow flies from the Site. The growing
season from Burke County, which runs from March 20t" to November 11t" (237 days in 2020), is being
used for hydrologic success. The final performance standard established for wetland hydrology will be a
free groundwater surface within 12 inches of the ground surface for 20 consecutive days (8.5%) of the
defined growing season under typical precipitation conditions.
In total, there are fifteen GWGs currently installed on the Site. Seven of the groundwater hydrology
gages (GWGs) were established during the baseline monitoring within the wetland rehabilitation and re-
establishment zones (GWGs 1— 4 and 6 — 8). During the initial GWG installation, GWG 3 was installed in
a seep where hydrology was much stronger than the surrounded area; therefore, Wildlands relocated
GWG 3 in January 2017 (MY2) to an area that was more representative of the surrounding wetlands.
Wildlands also installed two additional gages (GWG 5 and 9) within the wetland re-establishment areas
during 2017 (MY2) in order to further assess wetland performance near where GWGs were not meeting
criteria. The transducer for GWG 5 was replaced at the beginning of MY4 due to abnormal data in MY3
and to ensure accurate water level data is being reported. In February and March 2019 (MY4), six
additional GWG were added to the Site. Three of the gages (GWG 10 —12) were installed to better
define the wetland re-establishment area within the right floodplain of UT1 Reach 2. The remaining
three gages (GWG 13 —15) were installed in locations adjacent to wetland enhancement areas to
provide groundwater data to support the potential expansion of these wetland areas.
Of the fifteen GWGs, fourteen met the success criteria for MY5. Of the gages that met, the percentage
of consecutive days of the growing season with ground water levels within the first 12 inches of the
ground surface ranged from 11% to 89%. GWG 8 did not meet the success criteria for MY5 with a
measured maximum 14 consecutive days during the growing season or four days short of the success
criteria. GWGs 5, 10, and 13 achieved the success criteria for at least 89% of the growing season with
plots showing similar hydroperiods to one another and indicating comparable groundwater hydrology in
those areas. The remainder of the GWG's hydroperiods were like that of the reference gage. Monthly
rainfall data in 2020 indicated higher than normal rainfall amounts occurred during the months of
January, April, May, June, August, September, and October. Lower than normal rainfall amounts
occurred only during the month of March. Please refer to the CCPV Figures 3.0-3.2 in Appendix 2 for the
groundwater gage locations and Appendix 5 for groundwater hydrology summary data and plots.
1.2.5 Areas of Concern and Adaptive Management Plan
Vegetation
In MY5, minor areas of invasive plant populations were found within the conservation easement. These
species include Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora), Chinese
privet (Ligustrum sinense), Creeping primrose (Ludwigia peploides), Asian spiderwort (Murdannia keisak)
and kudzu (Pueraria montana). Invasive treatments occurred in July and September 2020, particularly
focusing on small areas of kudzu and in -stream vegetation and have hindered establishment of those
species within the Site. Areas of dense sweet gum (Liquidambar styraciflua) populations that were
Henry Fork Mitigation Site
Monitoring Year 5 Annual Report — FINAL 1-4
treated in November 2019 have reduced monocultures of the species and allowed desirable tree species
to become established.
Visual and vegetation assessments in MY5 continue to reveal some areas of low stem vigor/height on
the lower portion of the Site (UT2 and UT1 Reach 2 floodplains) that are represented by vegetation plots
6, 7, and 11 where plots are exceeding the density performance standard but some of the planted stems
display lower vigor and/or stunted heights. However, these areas are showing signs of improvement
with desired volunteer species including river birch, sycamore, tag alder (Alnus serrulata), and
cottonwood (Populus deltoides) naturally starting to develop and herbaceous vegetation filling in
previously observed bare areas. In March 2020, a supplemental planting effort installed 100 bare roots
and 150 1-gallon container plants in approximately 1.5 acres of the Site where low stem vigor/height
had been noted.
Streams
Isolated areas of bank scour along UT1 (near stations 106+00 and 124+75), that were first noted in MY4,
were repaired in the August 2019 and January 2020 by regrading and replanting the banks with live
stakes and established vegetation transplanted from the floodplain. The repairs have remained stable
and effective, even after several large precipitation events in 2020.
The on -site intermittent streams (UT1A and UT2) that received full restoration approach but are
credited at a reduced enhancement ratio, have continued to maintain single channel morphology. In
previous years, low flow and some vegetation within the channel had been noted along these reaches.
Flow was observed during each site visit in MY5. Some deposition was noted along UT1A as observed
within the cross -sections, but the stream continues to retain dimensions with minor changes. Similar
minor localized aggradation was noted along UT1 Reach 1 downstream of the wetland enhancement
area in the footprint of the old pond bed. In March 2020, additional live stakes were planted along the
few bank areas that were lacking woody vegetation to improve stream shading. As the woody
vegetation continues to become established, the baseflow channel is expected to become stronger and
less vegetated.
A few beaver dams were removed at the beginning of MY5 throughout the lower portion of UT1 Reach
2. No beaver dams were observed during the fall 2020 site walk. Though their presence continues to
occur, they are less frequent and their effects less severe on the Site. The less frequent impounding of
the streams has benefitted the Site by allowing the floodplain vegetation to become established and not
backing up flow from tributaries to UT1 (UT1A and UT2). Beaver activity will continue to be monitored
and managed until closeout.
Wetlands
Wetland hydrology continues to be weak in the wetland rehabilitation area at the head of UT2 (GWG 8).
As discussed in section 1.2.4, all GWGs except for GWG 8 met or exceeded the success criteria indicating
that groundwater levels have continued to recharge in MY5, bolstered by strong winter rainfall totals, as
well as above average growing season rainfall. To ensure adequate representation of the hydrology in
the wetland re-establishment area upslope of UT1 Reach 2, three additional gages (GWGs 10-12) were
installed at the beginning of MY4. In addition, GWGs 13 — 15 were added in MY4 adjacent to wetland
enhancement areas to provide hydrology data to support the potential expansion of these areas to
offset any loss of wetland re-establishment areas where GWGs (GWG 8) are not meeting success
criteria.
In September 2020, Wildlands staff determined that approximately 0.051 acres of the wetland re-
establishment area, represented by GWG 8, is at risk of not meeting success criteria for wetland
hydrology. A wetland addendum letter was submitted to DIMS on October 6, 2020 to identify additional
Henry Fork Mitigation Site
Monitoring Year 5 Annual Report — FINAL 1-5
wetland areas that have been created by the project and formally request the inclusion of these created
wetland areas for credit in order to offset those identified as at risk. Currently, at the submittal of the
Final Henry Fork Mitigation Site's MY5 annual report, the wetland addendum request has not been
resolved. A copy of the wetland addendum letter, the 15-day review period comments received from
the IRT on October 28, 2020, and Wildlands' responses to the IRT's comments from the 15-day review
period, and follow-up response from the IRT are included in Appendix 6.
Conservation Easement
There is an approved narrow footpath through the easement near vegetation plot 5 for the purpose of
frisbee golf that Wildlands has allowed on a conditional basis and to discontinue by the time of closeout.
This has continued to be monitored to ensure that it does not violate easement terms or threaten
stream assets.
The minor mowing encroachments that were observed in MY1 and MY2 along the floodplain of UT1
Reach 1 have been resolved. While there has been a stop to the encroachment issues, the Site boundary
and prior problem areas will continue to be monitored for easement enforcement.
Quarterly site visits will continue to be conducted to monitor and address any areas of concern. If
necessary, future adaptive management will be implemented to improve herbaceous cover, treat and
control invasive plants, and address hydrology issues. Please refer to Appendix 2 for CCPV Figures 3.0-
3.2 for mapped areas of concern.
1.3 Monitoring Year 5 Summary
Overall, the Site has met the required stream and vegetation success criteria for MY5. Geomorphic
surveys indicate that cross-section bankfull dimensions closely match the baseline with minor deviations
due to natural sediment transport processes, and streams are functioning as intended. All project
streams recorded at least one bankfull event or greater in MY5. The bankfull performance standard had
been met for the Site in MY4. The vegetation assessment resulted in an average planted stem density of
564 stems per acre and is exceeding the interim success criterion of 260 stems per acre for MY5 and on
track to meet the performance criteria of 210 stems per acre in MY7. In addition, all fifteen vegetation
plots exceeded this requirement. Fourteen of the fifteen groundwater monitoring gages installed on the
Site met or exceeded the hydrologic success criteria for MY5. The MY5 visual assessment revealed a few
areas of concern including pockets of invasive plant species and areas of low stem growth. Areas of
concern will continue to be monitored and adaptive management will be performed as needed.
Summary information and data related to the performance of various project and monitoring elements
can be found in the tables and figures in the report appendices. Narrative background and supporting
information formerly found in these reports can be found in the Mitigation Plan documents available on
DMS's website. All raw data supporting the tables and figures in the appendices are available from DIMS
upon request.

Section 2: METHODOLOGY
Geomorphic data were collected following the standards outlined in The Stream Channel Reference Site:
An Illustrated Guide to Field Techniques (Harrelson et al., 1994) and in the Stream Restoration: A Natural
Channel Design Handbook (Doll et al., 2003). All Integrated Current Condition Mapping was recorded
using either a Trimble or Topcon handheld GPS with sub -meter accuracy and processed using Pathfinder
and ArcGIS. Crest gages were installed in surveyed riffle cross sections and monitored quarterly.
Hydrologic monitoring instrument installation and monitoring methods are in accordance with the
United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE, 2003) standards. Vegetation monitoring protocols
followed the Carolina Vegetation Survey-EEP Level 2 Protocol (Lee et al., 2008).

The subject project site is an environmental restoration
site of the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ)
Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) and is encompassed
by a recorded conservation easement, but is bordered
by land under private ownership. Accessing the site
may require traversing areas near or along the easement
boundary and therefore access by the general public is not
permitted. Access by authorized personnel of state and
federal agencies or their designees/contractors involved in
the development, oversight,and stewardship of the restoration
site is permitted within the terms and timeframes of their
defined roles. Any intended site visitation or activity by
any person outside of these previously sanctioned roles
and activites requires prior coordination with DMS.

N/A: Not Applicable
' Min and max values may appear backwards for ratios. When this is the case, ratio values have been left in the column associated with a particular cross section.
Due to the highly manipulated condition of the streams resulting in ditched streams with little profile diversity, no profile or pattern data was assessed on UT1A, UT2, UT1 Reach 2, and UT1B.
The Rosgen classification system is for natural streams and project streams have been heavily manipulated. These classifications are for illustrative purposes only.
°The 25-year event was the largest event modeled; it does not fill the channel
5Sinuosity on UT1 Reach 2 is calculated by drawing a valley length line that follows the proposed valley, the existing valley is poorly defined
*Does not include last 150' to tie-in to Henry Fork.

Z Due to the highly manipulated condition of the streams resulting in ditched streams with little profile diversity, no profile or pattern data was assessed on UT1A, UT2, UT1 Reach 2, and UT1B.
3 UT1 Reach 1 (Lower) is a hybrid reach that goes through what is presently a pond and then drops rapidly down what is presently a dam embankment and drop to master stream floodplain. Through the pond, slopes and floodprone width is more typical of a C.
the Rosgen classification system is for natural streams and project streams have been heavily manipulated. These classifications are for illustrative purposes only.
5UT1 Reach 1 (Lower) is a hybrid reach that goes through what is presently a pond and then drops rapidly down what is presently a
dam embankment and drop to master stream floodplain. Through the pond, slopes and floodprone width is more typical of a C.
6UT1B is classified in existing conditions as a sand bed stream. This is thought to be reflective of manipulation (impoundment and
channelization resulting in a less steep stream). The restored stream, with slopes exceeding 2% grade throughout the reach, will be a
gravel dominated stream, and is classified as such.

Prior to MY3, bankfull dimensions were calculated using a fixed bankfull elevation. For MY3 through MY7 bankfull elevation and channel cross-section dimensions are calculated using a fixed Abkf as described in the Standard Measurement of the BHR
Monitoring Parameter provided by NCIRT and NCDMS (9/2018).
2 Floodprone width in MY3 through MY7 is based on the width of the cross-section, in lieu of assuming the width across the floodplain as was done in previous monitoring years.

'Priorto MY3, bankfull dimensions were calculated using a fixed bankfull elevation. For MY3 through MY7 bankfull elevation and channel cross-section dimensions are calculated using a fixed Abkf as described in the Standard Measurement of the BHR Monitoring Parameter provided by NCIRT and NCDMS (9/2018).
' Floodprone width in MY3 through MY7 is based on the width of the cross-section, in lieu of assuming the width across the floodplain as was done in previous monitoring years.

Note: The barotroll at Henry Fork experienced minor malfunctions in February (2/6 and 2/14 - 2/17) and during April (4/16 - 4/17 and 4/21-4/22); therefore, data collected during the February and April malfunctions was omitted from the
reported data. In addition, the barotroll quit working on 8/1/2020 so the remaining data was calibrated using the barotroll from the Owl's Den Mitigation Site which is located in Lincoln, County approximately 15 miles from the Henry Fork

DEQ Contract No. 005782
Catawba River Basin — HUC 03050103 Expanded Service Area
Catawba County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Reid,
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. (Wildlands) conducted a wetland assessment in 2020, Monitoring Year (MY)
5 of 7, to identify additional potential wetland areas on the Henry Fork Mitigation Site (Site) that have
been created by this project. Additional supplemental data including a potential wetland area table,
map figure, groundwater gage plots, photo log, and wetland data sheets have been included with this
addendum letter.
Background
In anticipation of additional wetlands created on the Site after construction, section 8.2 (Wetland
Mitigation Credits) of the Henry Fork Mitigation Plan states: "DMS reserves the right to request
additional wetland credits created by the project. Wetland credits will be proposed based upon
additional gauge data and/or wetland delineation." Therefore, in February and March 2019 (MY4), three
groundwater gages were installed in locations adjacent to credited wetland areas to provide
groundwater data to support the potential expansion of wetland areas on the Site. The purpose of
delineating these extra areas is to offset any wetland credits that may be at risk of losing credit.
Wildlands is not, however, seeking additional wetland credit above the original asset table amount.
Wildlands defends and maintains a 7.2% (17 consecutive day) success criteria in the IRT approved
Mitigation Plan but the USACE commented that a 8.5% (20 consecutive day) success criteria would be
required. Wildlands updated the success criteria in the MYO report. The final performance standard
established for wetland hydrology will be a free groundwater surface within 12 inches of the ground
surface for 20 consecutive days (8.5%) of the 236 day growing season (March 20 through November 11)
under typical precipitation conditions.
Data Collection and Analysis
As stated above, three additional groundwater gages (GWG 13 —15) were installed in February and
March 2019 before the start of MY4 growing season, for the purpose of providing groundwater data to
document additional wetland areas. On June 23, 2020, Wildlands personnel performed a Site
investigation to identify additional potential wetland areas on the Site. Five areas (Wetlands AA through
EE) were delineated and mapped using global positioning system (GPS) data collection and three
wetland data points (DP1— 3) were collected. Please refer to the attached hydrologic data for
groundwater gage plots and summary table of the success criteria for each gage on Site.
Wetlands AA, BB, and CC are located south of Wetland N enhancement area. Before construction and as
a former golf course, this area was identified as a ditch with a linear wetland that fed into intermittent
stream channel UT2. During construction, the outlet of the ditch was plugged thus raising the
groundwater level and creating conditions for anaerobic wetland processes to occur. GWG 15 was
installed in MY4 to be representative of the low area and to document hydrologic conditions for the
proposed wetland areas south of wetland N. For two consecutive years, GWG 15 has achieved the
wetland hydrologic success criteria established for the Site. Wetland data point 1 (DPI) documents the
hydrology, vegetation, and soil conditions representative of Wetlands AA, BB, and CC.
Wetland DID is located in the footprint of a former golf course inline pond bed (pond 3) that was filled
during construction. Before construction, UT1 flowed through pond 3 before making its way to the
Henry Fork river. The restoration of UT1 realigned the stream channel and took pond 3 offline. The
restored hydrology of UT1 has allowed for frequent overbank flooding of riparian wetland areas, thus
expanding the hydrologic function into this area. GWG 1 was installed during the MYO baseline data
collection and is in close proximity to Wetland DD. GWG 1 has achieved the wetland hydrologic success
criteria for the Site in MY2 through MY5 thus far. Wetland data point 2 (DP2) documents the hydrology,
vegetation, and soil conditions representative of Wetland DD.
Wetland EE is located in and around the pre -construction footprint of UT1 near the previous UT1A
confluence, adjacent to Wetlands J and K enhancement areas. The restoration of UT1A has increased
the floodplain access from overbank flooding and resulted in a gain in wetland function well beyond the
mapped wetland re-establishment area (Wetland 1). GWG 13 was installed in MY4 and has achieved
wetland hydrologic success criteria for the past two years. Wetland data point 3 (DP3) was collected
near GWG 13 and details the conditions of Wetland EE.
Wetland Credits
The combined area from Wetland AA through EE totals 0.661 acres. Pre -construction, these five areas
were not wetlands and were not identified as such in the approved Jurisdictional Determination for the
Site. Also, the additional wetland areas (AA— EE) were not identified as having hydric soils in the LSS soil
report from the Mitigation Plan. Therefore, a creation credit ratio of 3:1 is proposed for all five wetland
areas where a rise in groundwater elevations have created conditions necessary to support wetland
conditions and promote wetland functions. In total, an additional 0.220 riparian wetland mitigation
units (WMUs) are available to offset any wetland credits that may be determined to be at risk of losing
credit. Please refer to the attached summary table of the additional wetland areas on the Site.
Conclusion
This wetland addendum summarizes the data collection and analysis of five proposed wetlands
(Wetland AA— EE) that have been identified on the Site after construction was complete. Following DMS
and IRT approval of this wetland addendum, Wildland's will document the additional wetland areas in
this year's annual monitoring report. It will be stated in the report that these additional areas are only to
be used as offset if any existing wetland credits are found to be at risk.
Feel free to contact me at 828-545-3865 if you have any questions.
Thank you,

Hydric Soil Evaluation
Henry River Mitigation Site
PURPOSE OF REPORT
This report has been prepared to assist Wildlands Engineering during planning and design
for the proposed mitigation site located at the Henry River Golf Course in Catawba County, NC.
A detailed evaluation was conducted to characterize soils across the site, with a focus on
identifying hydric soils.
SITE LOCATION
The site is located on an approximately 90-acre property, southwest of the intersection of
Highway 321 and Interstate 40, at 2575 Mountain View Road (Parcel# 279108883819), in Hickory,
NC. The evaluation area is situated in the floodplain of, and south of the Henry Fork River, north of
the terminus of Mountain View Road.
METHODOLOGY
The hydric soil evaluation began with a cursory review of NRCS soils maps, recent aerial photos
and a USGS topographic map for the area. The site analysis was performed on July 25, 2013. Soil
auger borings were advanced throughout the study area. The hydric soil status at each location was
noted, and is based upon the NRCS Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States - A Guide for
Identifying and Delineating Hydric Soils (Version 7.0, 2010). During the site evaluation, each soil
boring was assigned to one of four different soil types or units:
• Soil Unit 1 (S1) — Hydric, relatively undisturbed
• Soil Unit 2 (S2) — Hydric soil that has been buried, with hydric indicators in the fill material
• Soil Unit 3 (S3) — Hydric soil that has been buried. Fill material is non-hydric
• Soil Unit 4 (S4) — Non-hydric soil (no evidence of buried hydric soil)
Following the site investigation, field data were compiled to prepare the hydric soil map for the
project.
FINDINGS
Evidence of anthropogenic site manipulation is abundant throughout the study area. One finds
much evidence of ditching and/or channelization of streams across the site. Additionally, fill
material has been placed over a majority of the floodplain area during past construction for the golf
course. The soil beneath is generally undisturbed.
The Soil Units are briefly discussed below and representative soil profile descriptions using the
USDA - NRCS standard nomenclature are appended for hydric soil areas S1, S2 & S3. The attached
"Henry River Project Hydric Soils Evaluation" map illustrates the approximate location of soil borings
and soil map units across the site. Two, separate hydric soil areas were mapped during the
evaluation. The western hydric soil area occupies approximately 1.49-acres, and consists only of S2

and S3 borings. The eastern hydric soil area occupies 3.03-acres, and consists of S1, S2 and S3
borings.
Soil Unit 1 (S1) — Hydric Soil
Soils in this area had no fill material and generally had typical diagnostic soil horizons. While
several hydric soil indicators were present, indicator F3 was the most common.
Indicator F3 - Depleted Matrix. A layer that has a depleted matrix with 60 percent or more
chroma of 2 or less and that has a minimum thickness of either:
a. 5 cm (2 inches) if the 5 cm is entirely within the upper 15 cm (6 inches) of the soil, or
b. 15 cm (6 inches), starting within 25 cm (10 inches) of the soil surface.
This soil typically had a silt loam textured surface horizon that ranged from 4 to 8 inches with
oxidized rhizoshperes present. The subsurface textures were generally clay loam, grading to silty
clay, with a matrix color of chroma 2 or less.
Soil Unit 2 (S2) — Hydric Fill Over Hydric Soil
Soil Unit 2 had fill material deposited during construction of the golf course. The soil beneath
the fill was relatively undisturbed. Depth of fill was variable, but ranged from 6-to-12-inches. The
buried soil had a loam textured surface horizon underlain by either loam, clay loam, or sandy clay
loam subsurface horizons and met hydric indicator F3 Depleted Matrix.
Here, the affects of hydrologic manipulation on the site are less pronounced and fill material has
been on -site long enough to develop hydric indicators. While some of the fill material may have
been hydric in origin (deposited from adjoining wetland or dredge from the ditches), most fill
material was sourced from upland areas. There was evidence of active reduction and oxidation
reactions in all borings. The soil either met indicator F3 Depleted Matrix or F6;
Indicator F6 - Redox Dark Surface. A layer that is at least 10 cm (4 inches) thick, is entirely
within the upper 30 cm (12 inches) of the mineral soil, and has:
a. Matrix value of 3 or less and chroma of 1 or less and 2 percent or more distinct or
prominent redox concentration occurring as soft masses or pore lining, or
b. Matrix value of 3 or less and chroma of 2 or less and 5 percent or more distinct or
prominent redox concentrations occurring as soft masses or pore linings.
Soil Unit (S3) — Non-Hydric Fill Over Hydric Soil
Soil Unit 3 clearly had fill material deposited during construction of the golf course. The soil
beneath the fill was relatively undisturbed. Depth of fill was quite variable, but ranges from 12-to-
26-inches. The buried soil had a silty clay loam surface horizon underlain by clay, silty clay or clay
loam subsurface horizons. These areas met hydric indicator F3 - Depleted Matrix. While there was
some evidence of recent reduction and oxidations reactions within some fill, it did not meet any of
the hydric indicators.

Henry River Mitigation Site
Soil Unit 4 (S4) — No Evidence of Buried Hydric Soil
Most of Soil Unit 4 evidenced fill material, but in all cases neither the fill material nor the
original soil met any hydric soil indicators within a depth reasonable for remediation. For example,
some borings exhibited fill depths of greater than 36-inches, and were terminated. Since these
areas contained mostly fill material without hydric soil indicators, a representative soil profile
description was omitted.
rnmri iicinm
This report presents information that may be used as reference for planning and design for
the proposed work at the Henry River Mitigation site. Specifically, soil borings provide evidence
of areas where hydric soils are either present or present below fill material. Soil units for each
of these areas were delineated on the attached map. The site hydrology has been altered by
ditching and/or channelization of streams and the addition of the fill material. Subsequently,
opportunities exist for wetland restoration. These findings represent a professional opinion
based on Hydric Soil Investigation and knowledge of the current regulations regarding wetland
mitigation in North Carolina and national criteria for determining hydric soil.

INTRODUCTION
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. is considering mitigating a section of the Henry Fork project site in the
Catawba River Basin (03050101). The site is accessed off Mountain View Road (SR 1192) in Hickory,
Catawba County, NC. The Catena Group, Inc. (Catena) was retained to perform a detailed soil
investigation that would, in part, determine the depth of fill material that was previously observed
during a preliminary soil and site.
METHODOLOGY
The field investigation was performed on April 29, 2014. Seventy-two (72) hand -turned auger borings
were advanced throughout the study area on a seventy-five ft by seventy-five ft grid (Figure 1). Each soil
boring was marked in the field with a red pin flag noting the boring number, soil unit number, and either
depth of fill material or depth boring was terminated. Hydric soil status was based upon the NRCS Field
Indicators of Hydric Soils in the Unities States - A Guide for Identifying and Delineating Hydric Soils
(Version 7.0, 2010).
RESULTS
There is clear evidence of human manipulation throughout the study area. In addition to ditching
and/or channelization of streams, fill material has been placed over the majority of the study area. Six
Soil Units were created based on data collected from soil borings and are described below and
summarized in Table 1. Table 2 lists the classification and fill depth when applicable for each soil boring
(appended).
Soil Unit 1. Soil Unit 1 had a typical surface diagnostic horizon that met hydric soil indicator F3.
F3 Depleted Matrix. A layer that has a depleted matrix with 60 percent or more chroma of 2 or less
and that has a minimum thickness of either:
a. 5 cm (2 inches) if the 5 cm is entirely within the upper 15 cm (6 inches) of the soil, or 5 cm (6
inches), or
b. 15 cm (6 inches), starting within 25 cm (10 inches) of the soil surface.
Soil Unit 2. Soil Unit 2 consists of non-hydric soil that appeared to be undisturbed.
Soil Unit 3. Soil Unit 3 clearly has overburden material deposited as a result of human manipulation.
The soil material below the overburden was relatively undisturbed and met hydric indicator F3 Depleted
Matrix. The overburden was classified as hydric and met hydric indicator F3 Depleted Matrix.
Soil Unit 4. Soil Unit 4 clearly has overburden material deposited as a result of human manipulation.
The soil material below the overburden was relatively undisturbed other than a compressed soil
structure and a truncated profile, remnants of past surface manipulations. This material still appeared
to be hydric and met indicator F3 Depleted Matrix. The overburden did not meet any hydric soil

indicator. A typical soil profile for Soil Unit 4 is appended. Soil Unit 4 comprised the majority of the
study site.
Soil Unit 5. Soil Unit 5 clearly has overburden material deposited as a result of human manipulation.
The overburden material and the soil beneath did not meet any hydric soil indicator.
Soil Unit 6. Soil Unit 6 clear has overburden material deposited as a result of human manipulation. The
surface of the overburden material currently meets hydric indicator F3 Depleted Matrix. The material
below the surface did not currently meet any hydric soil indicator.

CONCLUSION
Seventy-two (72) soil borings were advanced throughout the study area. Borings were placed into one
of six Soil Units. The depth of fill material was noted at each boring when applicable. It is anticipated
that Priority 1 stream restoration, combined with limited soil manipulation, has the potential to re-
establish approximately 5.6 acres of wetlands (Figure 1).
The findings presented herein represent Catena's professional opinion based on our Hydric Soil
Investigation and knowledge of the current regulations regarding wetland mitigation in North Carolina
and national criteria for determining hydric soil.

Response to IRT Comments from 10.30.20.pdf
Hi Everyone,
I apologize for the delay in getting this response out. Please find our responses below in red text, and a copy of this
email response attached in pdf for your files. We will require additional time to collect vegetation data and do planting
to supplement these areas, but I'm hoping that based on this response we can get some feedback on our proposed
approach to guide us in moving forward with this. Although our perceived wetland credit risk is low based on current
data (see attached pdf), we understand that the IRT has viewed prior credit establishment on the site through a holistic
lens based on the unique nature of this site. Furthermore, we understand that in order to agree to additional crediting
on this site, this should include just effort to enhance ecological uplift and provide associated documentation. If you feel
that the efforts proposed below are not commensurate with the credit being requested, we are amenable to revisit the
ratio requested or the efforts proposed.
Thanks,
Jake

Subject: Request for more information/ DMS Mitigation Plan Addendum Request: Henry Fork Stream and Wetland
Mitigation Project/ SAW- 2014-00538/Catawba County
Good afternoon Paul,
The 15-day comment review period for the NCDMS Henry Fork Mitigation Plan Addendum (SAW-2014-00538) closed on
October 28, 2020. Per Section 332.8(o)(9) of the 2008 Mitigation Rule, this review followed the streamlined review
process. All comments received during the review process are below.
USACE Comments, Todd Tugwell and Kim Browning:
The Corps requests vegetation data for these proposed wetland areas prior to approving their addition to the wetland
assets.Some areas have woody stems (both planted and volunteer) while some do not. We propose to map areas of
existing high and low density stem counts within the proposed wetlands, and to plant areas of low density during this
dormant season at a rate of 600 stems/acre. We propose to set up 3 vegetation plots to track density and vigor in the
proposed wetlands over the remaining monitoring term - we will do this in a way that includes representation of both
existing and new stems. We also propose to visually monitor the success of new plantings. New plantings are proposed
to consist of wetland and deer -tolerant livestakes which will limit diversity (and transplants from adjacent areas where
available to supplement and diversify species). We have observations of low success with planting bareroot or potted
trees that have already been rooted in a drier hydrologic regime and we have had significant vegetation setbacks and
losses from deer on this site. If deemed acceptable, vegetation data will be provided prior to the credit release meeting
in April, 2021.
Only two of the five areas proposed have gauges in them. This is concerning because the IRT requested these gauges
back in March 2016 if WEI thought the wetland boundaries were going to be different from the approved mitigation
plan. We understand these were requested early on and have no response to counter this concern - gages13, 14, and 15
were installed as soon as we determined we desired to make this request. We feel that GWG1 is representative of
Wetland DID and that GWG's 14 & 15 are representative of Wetlands AA, BB, and CC.
Wetland EE appears to be relatively permanently impounded according to the gauge data, which raises concern whether
this area may be too wet to support trees.
The hydrologic regime of Wetland EE in 2019 was impacted by beaver impoundments - beaver were subsequently
trapped and removed. Related to tree growth - it is true that the variation in topography in all of these wetlands
influences the type of vegetation and habitat supported in each of these areas - some being old irrigation ponds or
having ditch remnants that are emergent in character. Intermittent impoundment by beaver and riverine flooding have
also influenced current vegetation. We proposed to attempt to establish woody vegetation in all of the wetlands, but
recognize that some of the areas may not support this. We can accept that no credit may be offered for wetlands that
do not support woody vegetation.
Prior to approving this addendum we request veg data for the proposed areas, and we would like a map that shows the
areas that are at-risk/not meeting success. Vegetation data will be collected and provided along with other data
specified above. The map showing at -risk areas determined by gage analysis and wetland delineation is attached.
EPA, Todd Bowers:
At this time I have no specific comments on the proposed addendum for the site to provide 0.220 riparian wetland
mitigation units to only be used if proposed wetlands at the mitigation site do not meet the thresholds or performance
standards for success in the current mitigation plan. The created potential wetlands appear to be providing the
appropriate function based on the groundwater gauge data (GWG 13 and 15) and the vigorous vegetation growth shown
in the attached photos.
As stated, the WMUs generated by this supplemental request would only be used to offset credits approved in the
mitigation plan that are not granted due to failure to meet performance.
WRC, Travis Wilson:
Looking at the mapped locations as well at the photos it looks like the vegetation is comprised of emergent and
pioneering species. All wetlands on this site were classified as Headwater forest. If these wetlands are going to be
classified the same they should follow the same planting plan and vegetative success criteria.
As discussed above, there are pockets of deeper water with prolonged inundation. We propose to plant woody species
from the livestake planting plan this winter in areas that have not already revegetated with desired species (river birch,
box elder, alders). Refer to proposed vegetative success monitoring in the response to Corps comments. Further, we
have treatment of cattails visible in the photos scheduled for next year. We request that vegetation criteria be relaxed
to the point of demonstrating successful establishment and progression of woody species in these areas rather than
achieving full term criteria by the currently scheduled close-out date.
DWR, Erin Davis:
Are all of the proposed wetland creation areas outside of the original planted project area? I question whether they
would meet the standard veg density performance standard. One of the areas is sweetgum dominated.
Yes, most of the areas are outside of the planted area. We propose to perform the monitoring as stated above. There
are dense riverbirch and alder thickets in some of the proposed wetland areas, but I don't believe that any areas are
sweetgum monocultures. We have treated some such monocultures on the site within and adjacent to planted areas
and will consider the same treatment in these creations areas where warranted. We do feel that with the difficulty of
deer browsing on this site that establishment of canopy through pioneering species with an eye towards later forest
succession may be better than no canopy.

Thanks

Subject: Notice of NCDEQ - DMS Mitigation Plan Addendum Request: Henry Fork Stream and Wetland Mitigation Project
(DMS# 96306) - (SAW- 2014-00538) (DWR#20140193) - Catawba 03050102_Catawba County
Good afternoon IRT,
The below referenced Mitigation Plan Addendum Request review has been requested by NCDMS. Per Section
332.8(o)(9) of the 2008 Mitigation Rule, this review follows the streamlined review process, which requires an IRT
review period of 15 calendar days from this email notification. Please provide any comments by 5 PM on the 15-day
comment deadline shown below. Comments provided after the 15-day comment deadline (shown below) may not be
considered.
At the conclusion of this comment period, a copy of all comments will be provided to NCDMS and the NCIRT along with
District Engineer's intent to approve or disapprove this AMP.
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. (WEI) has prepared a Mitigation Plan Addendum for the Henry Fork Mitigation Site (DMS#
96306). WEI has identified five additional wetland areas that have developed following site construction. These five
wetland areas were not identified in the approved Jurisdictional Determination (USACE) and they were not identified as
having hydric soils in the LSS soils report from the IRT approved Mitigation Plan. As a result, WEI is proposing a creation
credit ratio of 3:1 for the additional 0.661 acres for a total of 0.220 Riparian WMUs.
WEI is not seeking additional wetland credit above the approved Mitigation Plan and the DMS credit ledger will not be
updated. The purpose of proposing these additional areas for credit is to offset any wetland credits that may be at risk
of losing credit at project closeout. These additional areas have been monitored since March 2019 (MY4) and will
continue to be monitored through project closeout. Upon IRT review and approval of this wetland addendum,
Wildland's will document the additional wetland areas in this year's annual monitoring report (MY5) and through project
closeout.
The site is currently in MY5 (2020) and is scheduled to close in 2023.
Digital copies were uploaded to the IRT SharePoint page (10/6/2020) and DWR's Laser Fiche system (10/6/2020) for IRT
review. A copy is also attached.

Good morning Jake,
The IRT agrees that Wildlands should be held to the vigor standard that is expected at close-out; so 10' high by MY7. It
looks like you plan to replant livestakes, which might make it harder, but that is your choice; to earn full credit, this
seems like a reasonable requirement. It also looked like there were a lot of pioneer species there already (like sweetgum
and red maple) but it was hard to tell from the pictures. We'd like to review the veg data when it's available.
Feel free to reach out if you have questions, Kim

Thanks Kim. We intended below to request that vigor be compared against year 1 & 2 standards
("successful... progression" of the proposed plantings). Is the IRT allowing for this to be the standard, or are you
indicating that year 6 & 7 vigor standards must be met for full credit? Just wanting to clarify.
From response:
"We request that vegetation criteria be relaxed to the point of demonstrating successful establishment and progression
of woody species in these areas rather than achieving full term criteria by the currently scheduled close-out date."
Best,
Jake
