Bridgefork Dairy Mitigation Site-PART E Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page E.4 6.0 Project Approach The Wildlands Team takes a holistic, integrated approach to site restoration.The following text outlines some key aspects of our multi-disciplinary project approach. Site-specific project plans are further described in Part G of this proposal. 6.1 Site Selection The Wildlands Team carefully selects project sites where ecological restoration can be maximized. Our sites are reviewed by our environmental scientists and engineers during the selection process to ensure that ecological uplift can be achieved within regulatory � �f��` parameters related to floodplain management, protected species, 4 f r and existing wetland resources. We consult with the existing $" y landowners to explain the restoration process and the conservation 4r, k = , easement conditions. We review the site with our contractor to a identify potential construction challenges and opportunities. 5 z} -: ,R- ,.. 6.2 Property Owner Coordination Property owner coordination begins during the site selection stage and continues throughout the project. We meet with families to understand the existing and future land use plans for the site. We work to fully explain the restoration process and review site plans at the conceptual design stage and final design stage with the property owners to make sure that their concerns are addressed. Our project manager is the point of contact throughout the project so that the property owners always know who can answer any questions that may arise. 6.3 Contractor Coordination Wildlands draws on our contractor's construction expertise early in the project planning phase. We consult with our contractor so that the project can be designed and constructed in an efficient and cost- effective manner. We work to identify on-site materials that are native to the existing ecosystem and that should be incorporated into the restoration project to best mimic natural systems for the site locale. For example, cobble material embedded in excavated material on mountain stream sites can be sorted and used for riffle construction. We also know that coordination and flexibility during construction is the key to a successful restoration site. 6.4 Site Assessment Numerous methods of assessment are used to quantify and qualify the site and upstream watershed's stability, nutrient loads, sediment �.'. transport, hydrologic and hydraulic properties, plant and animal habitat, ecology, soil conditions, and functional uplift potential. Our assessment is carried out by surveyors trained in natural channel ^ .' assessment and by field scientists and engineers trained in stream � , -- a ; and wetland assessment and design who know what characteristics to look for that will aid in design. Wildlands looks for predictors of future stability problems, such as upstream development and concentrated overland flow paths. 6.5 Permitting A project's schedule can be completely disrupted if the permitting for the project is not performed correctly.The Wildlands Team understands the critical steps necessary for acquiring these permits in a timely and efficient manner. Methods used to ensure a rapid permitting process include on-site Bridgefork Dairy Mitigation Site-PART E Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page E.5 meetings with the various permitting agency representatives prior to design, as well as staying up-to- date on the regulations associated with ecosystem restoration.These steps allow for the submittal of a thorough and accurate permitting application for our projects. 6.6 Site Design Once the existing conditions are documented and evaluated,the preferred alternative selected, and base-mapping developed, a design discharge range is selected based on the project goals. Natural channel design parameters will be developed based on reference reach data, hydraulic modeling, and sediment transport assessment.Wildlands has five CFMs on staff who can evaluate design options to optimize floodplain function and minimize off-site adverse flood elevation impacts. During the preliminary design the plan view channel location is set, cross-sections for riffles and pools are designed, and in-stream habitat and grade control structures are located. General grading limits, details, and easement locations are included at this stage. Property owner input and contractor coordination help to assure that the proposed design meets the multi-faceted design goals. 6.7 Construction The Wildlands Team is familiar with the policies, procedures, and practices ‘ t('� ,,:y necessary to construct natural channel design and wetland restoration " 4. i projects. Wildlands has provided construction administration and observation - services for over 83 miles of stream work and 459 acres of wetland work. A 6.8 Monitoring °` f Monitoring is an important component to any stream restoration or enhancement work.The Wildlands Team has experience in both developing monitoring plans for mitigation projects and in implementing those plans. Our monitoring plan experience includes as-built surveys and determining whether the project has met its success criteria after the required time period. 7.0 Key Personnel Resumes (Prime and Subconsultant) This section provides resumes for the Wildlands project manager and the managing staff for our survey subcontractor on this project.An additional description of the Wildlands project manager's abilities is provided in Section 5.0.

Broad River Basin Restoration Priorities. https://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/planning/basin-planning/maps. 2.0 Project Description The following section describes the existing conditions at the Site in terms of geomorphic condition, watershed, soils, geology, cultural resources, species of concern, regulated floodplain zones, and site constraints. Figure 2 provides a Site map that shows approximate locations of incision, water quality stressors, active headcuts, bedrock, and other relevant site observations. 2.1 Existing Site Conditions Current land use at the Site is a mix of agriculture including active cattle, active horse pasture, and hay pasture depending on the property owner(Figure 2).Across the project Site, approximately 35 to 45 head of cattle and 5 to 10 horse are currently managed. Majority of the property has been in cattle or hay pasture since as far back as 1938. In addition to cattle grazing, a portion of the project property was an active dairy farm prior to 1963 and historic infrastructure can still be seen within existing cattle pastures. Property between UT4 and UT4a been abandoned for the last 20 years.The upland areas of Bridgefork Dairy Mitigation Site-PART G Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page G.3 the property were timbered sometime between 2015 and 2017, but vegetated buffers were left along project tributaries based of forestry best management practices and regulations. Between March 9 and March 11, 2020; all Site streams were evaluated and scored Bridgefork Creek, UT1, UT3, UT4, UT5, and UT6 were identified as perennial for their entirety within the project limits. Headwater tributaries UT4A and UT6A begin as ephemeral channels within the project limits, score as intermittent for a portion of project length, and eventually become perennial streams as drainage increases. UT2 was identified as an intermittent stream within the project limits. Stream forms are included in the appendix. Details about the existing streams and associated reaches are provided in Section 2.2 below. All reaches of Bridgefork Creek lack adequate riparian buffer in the right floodplain. Unnamed tributaries, including UT1, UT2, UT3, UT4, UT4A, UT5, UT6, and UT6A have some portion of established hardwood forests in the immediate floodplains. In the forested areas of the Site,typical overstory species include a mix of tulip poplar(Liriodendron tulipifera),American beech (Fagus grandifolia), green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), white oak(Quercus alba), red oak(Quercus rubra),water oak(Quercus nigra), sweet gum (Liquidambarstyraciflua), river birch (Betula nigra), eastern red cedar(Juniperus virginiana), sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), and persimmon (Diospyros virginiana). The understory, scrub/shrub, and groundcover within forested areas typically include species such as Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora),American holly(Ilex opaca), elderberry(Sambucus sp.),Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides),wild ginger (Hexastylis shuttleworthii), periwinkle (Vinca minor), and river cane (Arundinaria gigantea). Vegetation in areas managed in livestock and pasture is dominated by common pasture grasses such as tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea)with soft rushes(Juncus effuses) in wet, low lying areas. A review of historic aerials from 1938 to 2016 shows the Site streams have existed in their approximate locations over time.The Site appears to have been contour plowed and terraced prior to 1938 and terracing can still be observed on Site currently. On the Dellinger and Judd properties, Bridgefork Creek appears to have been straightened sometime before 1938 and both floodplains of the stream were cleared with only minor vegetation left along the immediate bank. UT4 Reach 1 and 2, and UT4A appear to have also been cleared up to top of bank sometime during or prior to the 1938 aerial photograph.The left floodplain of Bridgefork Creek and UT4 appear to have been allowed to revegetate sometime between 1964 and 1976. Evidence of dairy farm operations, including a sludge pond and drainage can be seen as far back as 1961, but appear to halt by 1976, which was in agreement with timelines provided by the property owners.Timbering practices between UT4 and UT4a can be observed in the 2016 aerial photograph.The farm pond proposed for removal along UT1 can be seen as far back as 1961. Bridgefork Dairy Mitigation Site-PART G Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page G.4 2.2 Existing Conditions-Streams Bridgefork Creek Low Banks and Bedrock Along Bridgefork Bridgefork Creek Reach la flows onto the Site from a Creek Reach la culvert under Patterson Road.The reach flows through a moderately sloped unconfined valley with some mature vegetation.This reach of Bridgefork Creek is characterized 4tr r,:' by low banks, low sinuosity, and extensive bedrock influence which has prevented downcutting. Livestock access along with invasive vegetation in the immediate left • ';' � ti floodplain are the major stressors for this portion of the ti �ry ` -.c project.After the stream flows under an overhead utility, F , the bedform and condition along Bridgefork Creek deteriorates. �`' The floodplain widens and the slope flattens as Bridgefork Creek Reach lb incises. Low bank heights increase as bank height ratios (BHR) along Bridgefork Creek approach 2.0.The banks and floodplain lack native vegetation; active erosion and mass wasting are evident. Additionally, cattle impacts become more prevalent as cattle runs and wallow areas appear with higher frequency.The pattern is characterized by tortuous Active Erosion and Mass Wasting Along meanders, which are actively migrating downstream Bridgefork Creek Reach 1B indicating lateral instability. A trampled relic riparian „ wetland in the right floodplain exhibits historic ditching to ti drain hydrology from the upland pastures.

However,the increase in drainage results in eat ; + ' f , further downcutting and incision.Additionally, many of the j + - i; E.

No bedrock influence -� _ was observed along Bridgefork Creek Reach lb. y f. Shortly after the confluence with UT3,the pattern along * Bridgefork Creek shifts to a more stable stream sinuosity `m -.- given the stream and valley type. Reduction in meander radius, an increase in bedrock influence, and a decrease in incision characterize the change to Bridgefork Creek Reach 2.Water quality impacts from cattle access and areas of narrow riparian buffer are Bridgefork Dairy Mitigation Site-PART G Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page G.5 prevalent throughout this reach.The bedform is extensively influenced by sand, but bedrock slides, riffles, short sandy runs, step pools, and meander pool habitat are present in some locations along the reach. At some locations along Bridgefork Creek Reach 2, bankfull benches have begun to form. Active Bank Erosion Along Bridgefork Creek Reach 3 Bridgefork Creek Reach 3 returns to a condition like Bridgefork Creek Reach la where pattern is s x characterized by tortuous meanders and lateral instability. Grade control in the form of bedrock is no longer present and as a result, the stream has downcut. Downcutting has disconnected the reach from the _ � - adjacent floodplain and when combined with high A� „ sinuosity, has created an unstable stream condition.At the very downstream end of the reach,the riparian , corridor becomes dominated by invasive vegetation anr` which reduces the presence of native riparian understory along the reach. UT1 and UT2 UT1's location has been manipulated and impacted for Aerial Photo of the Gully at Upstream end UT1 infrastructure and farming practices. At the upstream end of the reach,the stream has been rerouted to parallel US-74 and at least two stormwater outlets discharge into the stream upstream of the existing farm pond. Based on aerial photography, a large gully has r formed as a result of the stormwater outfalls sometime between 2015 and 2017.A portion of the original stream . . flow is routed into the farm pond, while the gully has cut - around the existing farm pond and joins the reach downstream of pond. Downstream of the pond,the reach is incised, actively eroding, and disconnected from its current floodplain. Similarly, UT2 has been impacted by upstream Stormwater Outfall and Active Headcut at infrastructure. US-74 as well as an existing underground Upstream End of UT2 utility are immediately upstream of the reach which 'VOW' enters the Site from an existing stormwater outfall.The _ stream has headcut within 50-feet of the existing: _ stormwater outfall and as a result, has become deeply _`� incised and disconnected from the adjacent floodplain. - The incised condition and bank erosion have introduced t large amounts of bank sediment into the downstream portion of reach, negatively impacting the existing bedform. Sediments from the active headcut and eroding -14171. banks are also being discharged into Bridgefork Creek , r where the stream ties to the mainstem. ' UT3 and UT5 UT3 flows through a wooded confined valley with a moderate slope. Sediment transport seems out of balance along the reach. High sediment loads are being deposited towards the downstream end, causing Bridgefork Dairy Mitigation Site-PART G Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page G.6 minor braiding and loss of dimension.The increased sediment load is likely from infrastructure and/or bank erosion upstream. Overall,the short reach is in moderate condition, with one active headcut that needs to be stabilized, some invasive understory vegetation, low banks, and marginal quality bedform. Similarly, UT5 enters the Site from a small confined valley before reaching the broad flat floodplain of Bridgefork Creek.The short reach flows through an established hardwood forest, but the understory is dominated by Chinese privet.The stream has low banks, no active heads, and generally appears to be in a stable and functioning condition. Based on the location of the reach,there is no current livestock access to UTS. UT4 and UT4A UT4 flows through a moderately confined, moderately sloped valley.At the upstream end, a series of bedrock slides and step pools maintain grade control and provide excellent bedform and habitat.As the stream flows southwest towards Bridgefork Creek, the sinuosity increases as the slope decreases.There is some minor bank erosion along the reach, but generally the banks are low and stable with habitat features and bedform including step pools, pocket pools, undercut banks, leafy debris packs, short sandy runs, and even some coarse riffles.The major stressor to this reach is a complete infestation of Chinese privet and Japanese honeysuckle in the understory of the riparian corridor.Additionally,the confined valley lends itself to disposal of trash and debris,which is evident at multiple spots along the reach, particularly in the right floodplain. UT4A begins on Site as an ephemeral channel that starts at a series of headcuts before Concrete Rubble Used to Attempt to Stop Headcutting becoming intermittent and ultimately perennial at the Upstream Extent of UT4A within the project boundary.At the upstream • ephemeral extent, historic contour plowing and terracing has altered the natural drainages aY patterns and directs much of the drainage to one � F..- location, causing headcutting and erosion as *"'A' ';,,, surface water drains to the gully-type valley.To �'`_ •y ' �,�: try and stabilize the headcut, concrete rubble and debris has been placed at the upstream # _ e extent by the property owners.The intermittent q^P i and perennial sections of stream flow through a3y t series of smaller headsets, continuing to incise and remain in an unstable and low functioning condition.Actively eroding banks and bedform inundated by increased sediment load from upstream erosion are consistent along much of the reach. Generally, the stream lacks floodplain connection and any bankfull benches have eroded through active headcutting. Like UT4,years of agricultural debris and trash have been dumped in the channel and valley.The stream is fenced from livestock along the left upper terrace, but the riparian buffer along the left floodplain is less than 15 feet wide in most locations. Along the right floodplain, hardwoods are effective in holding some of the existing valley walls, but the understory is dominated by invasive species.

Livestock do not currently have access to the stream but water quality and habitat stressors including sediment and lack of bedform diversity are prevalent along the entirety of the reach. UT6A begins on Site as an ephemeral channel before becoming intermittent and ultimately perennial within the project boundary.The valley along UT6A is like the valleys along UT4 and UT4A: a moderately confined gully type valley with moderate slope.As with UT4 and UT4A, UT6A had multiple instances of trash and farm debris at the upstream extent. Based on topographic mapping and Site observations, UT6A used to flow through an adjacent valley and at some time historically, cut a new valley south of its previous location and re-entered the relic valley approximately halfway down the reach. Currently the reach has down cut again, abandoning the relic valley completely and creating a new valley alignment. Wildlands believes these valley cuts are one of the major sources of fine sediment that were observed in the downstream reaches of UT6. In its current location, UT6A is actively eroding and incised and littered with farm debris and rubble. Like UT6,the floodplain vegetation is a mix of hardwood species and invasive understory.

Page G.8 2.3 Existing Conditions—Wetlands Existing Pocket Wetland at Bridgefork Dairy The Site includes approximately 0.1 acres of existing Mitigation Site pocket wetland which are currently maintained for livestock grazing. Vegetation in the small wetland in the ' ' _ R right floodplain of Bridgefork Creek Reach lb is - maintained pasture grasses. Vegetation in the small Y:_ .; wetland in the left floodplain of Bridgefork Creek Reach lb is comprised of larger hardwood species, but no understory or herbaceous wetland species. Hydrology in existing wetlands is impaired due to infrequent � ; • �" overbank events, drainage influence of channelized and ' e • � a A'�. +C incised streams, shallow ditching, and tiles drains in the K right floodplain of Bridgefork Creek Reach 2 (Figure 2). Wildlands believes that there are likely other small pocket areas of wetland throughout the project area, but at the proposal stage, areas under 0.05 acres were not included within the Site mapping and evaluation. An additional 2.0 acres of the Site contains hydric soils or relic hydric soils,which do not appear to have a current wetland hydrologic regime or the required wetland vegetation for current jurisdictional delineation. It must be noted that a jurisdictional delineation was not performed, but decisions were based on Wildlands staff's previous experience and best judgement, along with information and discussion provided by a licensed soil scientist (LSS).Wetland hydrology in these areas has been altered by shallow ditching,tile drains to the channelized streams, and hydrology drawdown from stream incision.The LSS assessed potential wetland areas and evaluated the presence and existence of hydric soils and potential for reestablishment through construction of appropriately sized stream channels and removal/filling of current site ditching and drainage features. Results from the LSS assessment including a brief report, map showing soils boring locations, and typical soil boring profiles are included in the Appendix. 2.4 Existing Conditions—Watersheds The Site topography, as indicated on the Waco, NC USGS 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle, shows moderately sloped and broad valleys typical of the Piedmont along Bridgefork Creek(Figure 3). Valleys for project tributaries are shown as steeper and more confined, which is typical of smaller drainages and headwater tributaries in this region. Drainage areas for the project reaches were delineated using 2-foot contour intervals derived from the 2016/2017 North Carolina Emergency Management Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data (Figure 6). Land uses draining to the project reaches are a mix of forested and agricultural pasture/hay fields, and development.The land use was calculated using the National Land Cover Database (NLCD)for 2016.The watershed areas and current land uses are summarized in Table G.2, below and depicted in Figure 4.

Figure 5 provides a soil map of the Site.While Wehadkee soils were not mapped via Web Soil Survey, investigations by a LSS identified floodplain soils as most like Wehadkee.Therefore,this soil type and description are included the Table G.3. Upland soils surrounding the site are primarily sandy loams,which is consistent with the high sand volumes Wildlands observed within the existing bedform of site streams. Table G.3 Project Soil Types and Descriptions Soil Name Description Chewacla loam is typically found on floodplains or at toe of slopes.Typical Chewacla Loam slopes are between 0 and 2 percent.The soil unit is frequently flooded and are somewhat poorly drained. Grover gravelly sandy loam is typically found on hillslopes and ridges with Grover Gravelly Sandy Loam slopes between 15 and 30 percent.The soil unit is typically rocky and well drained. Madison-Bethlehem complex is typically found on hillslopes and ridges with Madison-Bethlehem Complex slopes ranging from 8 to 15 percent.The soil unit is typically stony, moderately eroded,and well drained. Hulett Gravelly Sandy Loam Hulett gravelly sandy loam is typically found on interfluves with slopes between 2 and 8 percent.The soil unit is considered stony and well drained.

Page G.10 2.6 Geology According to the North Carolina Geologic Survey(NCGS), the Site is located in the Cat Square terrane of the Piedmont physiographic province.The Piedmont is characterized by gently rolling, well-rounded hills with long low ridges, with elevations ranging from 300 to 1500 feet above sea level.The Cat Square terrane is composed of metamorphic rocks that have been intruded by younger granitic rocks. According to the Geologic Map of North Carolina (1985),the underlying geology of the proposed restoration site is mapped as Late Proterozoic-Cambrian (500 to 900 million years in age) mica schist (CZms) and Cherryville Granite (Mc).These Mc unit is massive to weakly foliated, and contains pegmatites, lithium-bearing on east side.The CZms unit includes garnet, staurolite, kyanite, or sillimanite occur locally; lenses and layers of quartz schist, micaceous quartzite, calc-silicate rock, biotite gneiss, amphibolite, and phyllite. Shallow bedrock outcroppings were observed and mapped in Site streams and floodplains (Figure 2). Shallow bedrock was observed in reaches proposed for an Enhancement II approach and has limited stream downcutting in these reaches. Sources:Geologic Map of North Carolina 1:500,000 scale.

All appropriate cultural resource agencies will be contacted for their review and comment prior to any land disturbing activity. The NC Natural Heritage Program (NHP) Managed Areas and Significant Natural Areas references Crowders Mountain State Park and Dedicated Nature Preserve, about five miles from the Site.There are six NC Historic Preservation Areas within five miles of the Site (Figure 1). 2.8 Threatened and Endangered Species Wildlands searched the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and NHP databases for federally protected plant and animal species in Cleveland County, NC. Currently the northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) and the dwarf-flowered heartleaf(Hexastylis naniflora) plant are federally listed as threatened.The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is also protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Art.A pedestrian survey conducted on March 9, 2020, indicated possible summer roasting habitat for the northern long-eared bat.Areas of potential suitable habitat for the dwarf-flowered heartleaf were also observed where the common wild ginger(Hexastylis shuttleworthii)was observed. No individuals were seen of either northern long-eared bat or the dwarf-flowered heartleaf. No suitable habitat is present onsite for the bald eagle. Wildlands will conduct a full review of the Site for protected species upon award of contract and will coordinate with USFWS and NCWRC as necessary based on that review.

None of the project streams are mapped with FEMA-regulated floodplains. Wildlands does not anticipate that coordination with the Cleveland County floodplain administrator or the need to obtain a floodplain development permit for the project will be required. 2.10 Site Constraints and Access Seven internal easement breaks and one external easement break are proposed at the Site to maintain landowner access, allow for overhead and underground utility crossings, maintain use of adjoining tracts, and maintain existing public transportation rights-of-way. Ford and culvert crossings are proposed to be fenced and gated if needed for livestock exclusion. Culverts will be designed with the restored stream bed profile to allow for aquatic organism passage.The crossings are summarized and numbered below in Table G.6 and depicted on Figures 6. Table G.6 Proposed Easement Crossings No. Width (ft) Location Internal or External Crossing Type 1 100 Bridgefork Creek Reach lb Internal Overhead Utility 2 100 Bridgefork Creek Reach 2 Internal Overhead Utility Proposed Gated Ford Crossing 3 25 UT1 Internal Overhead Utility 4 50 Bridgefork Creek Reach lb Internal Proposed Culvert Crossing 5 25 UT1 Internal Underground Utility (King's Mountain Water Easement) 6 40 UT4 Internal Proposed Culvert Crossing 7 40 Bridgefork Creek Reach 3 Internal Proposed Gated Ford Crossing 8 60 UT6 External Existing Dillon Road Culvert Crossing The easement boundaries around streams proposed for mitigation credit provide the required 50-foot minimum riparian buffer for Piedmont streams. Wildlands notes that the upstream end of UT3 does not meet the required 50-foot buffer.This area will be put under conservation easement to protect the Bridgefork Dairy Mitigation Site-PART G Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page G.12 stream buffer in perpetuity as shown in Figure 6, but no stream mitigation credit will be proposed in this upstream area. The entire easement area can be accessed for construction, monitoring, and long-term stewardship from Patterson Road and/or Dillon Rd.As represented in Figure 1,there are no airports within five miles of the Site. 3.0 Project Development—Functional Uplift Potential The Wildlands Team proposes to restore a high quality of ecological function to streams,wetlands, and riparian corridors on this Site.The project design will be developed to avoid significant adverse impacts to existing streams,wetland resources, or mature wooded vegetation where possible. Management strategies for individual resources are tailored to their functional uplift potential. 3.1 Functional Uplift for Water Quality Riparian Vegetation The right floodplain of Bridgefork Creek lacks established riparian vegetation beyond pasture grasses and some hardwood overstory species. UT1, UT2, and UT3 have riparian buffers primarily consisting of overstory species primarily, with limited herbaceous or scrub/shrub layers. UT4, UT4A, UTS, UT6, and UT6A have riparian buffers consisting of primarily overstory species, with extensive understories of invasive species which will require treatment.Vegetation within wetland areas proposed for restoration is currently pasture grasses and hardwood overstory species. Using the estimate of livestock exclusion areas removing 51.04 lbs of total nitrogen (TN) per acre per year(DMS 2016), and 4.23 lbs of total phosphorus (TP) per acre per year,this project may reduce TN by 1026 lbs and TP by 85.0 lbs annually (based on 20 acres of new livestock exclusion). Wildlands has scored non-functioning riparian buffer/wetland vegetation functional uplift as high. Sediment The Bridgefork Creek watershed is composed of 43%agricultural land use, 39%forested land use, and 18% developed land use. Based on a brief review of the Bridgefork Creek watershed, the majority of the agricultural land use is historically terraced fields adjacent to or directly upstream of Bridgefork Creek, UT4, UT4A, UT6, and UT6A. While the project cannot control upstream sediment sources, the installation of two BMPs to treat runoff from agricultural pastures will reduce fine sediment loads to headwater streams and ultimately into the project receiving waters. Gully stabilization and restoration along UT6A, UT4, and UT4A will also reduce sediment inputs into the system.Additionally, mass wasting of bank material from erosion and livestock access onsite contribute sediment to the system. Channels onsite are currently overwhelmed with fine sediments and lack sediment capacity and floodplain connection to appropriately process sediments induced from the cattle trampling and onsite bank erosion and mass wasting. Following restoration of channel banks,the exclusion of livestock from the channels,the installation of best management practices, and the stabilization of eroding gullies, sediment supply will be reduced background levels more appropriate with channel constructed channel capacities. Wildlands has scored sediment functional uplift potential as high.

Nutrients and Fecal Coliform Livestock and active pasture account for approximately 50%of the project site. Converting that pastureland to forest may reduce the total nitrogen (TN) contributed by the site by 1026 pounds per Bridgefork Dairy Mitigation Site-PART G Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page G.13 year and total phosphorus (TP) by 85 pounds per year(Table G.5). Exclusion of livestock and land conversion may also reduce fecal coliform loading on site by approximately 1.60x1012 colonies annually. Calculation variables are shown in Table G.6 below. Wildlands has scored nutrients functional uplift potential as high and fecal coliform uplift potential as high.

Hydric soils in these areas indicate riparian wetland drainage as a result. Confining peak flows within the channel has led to scour, incision, mass wasting of bank material, and historic culvert failures. Restoration activities will be tailored to restore this hydrologic connection between stream,floodplain, and riparian wetlands on incised reaches. Streams proposed for restoration will be restored using Priority 1 restoration. Raising the stream beds will improve floodplain connectivity, reducing the erosive effects of peak flows and decreasing the drainage effect on surrounding wetlands.The existing channelized streams will be filled,though some vernal pools will be established along the intersection of existing channel and areas of concentrated overland flow. Vernal pools provide storage of runoff, as well as habitat variety. Additionally, headwater streams which have gully erosion as a result of historic terracing and contour plowing will benefit from extended rainfall- Bridgefork Dairy Mitigation Site-PART G Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page G.14 runoff hydrographs based on the installation of BMPs at the upstream extents. These extended rainfall- runoff curves should reduce peak flows experienced by UT4A and UT6A as well as receiving waters including UT4, UT6 and Bridgefork Creek. Wildlands has scored control of peak flows functional uplift potential as very high. A Priority 1 approach will be designed by matching the culvert with stream grade at the upstream end of UT2. Channel profiles along UT6 will be reconstructed to allow aquatic organism passage upstream through the existing culvert at Dillon Road. Additionally, an existing farm pond will be removed along UT1 and multiple headcuts within tributaries UT4, UT4a, UT3, UT2, and UT6A will be removed as part of the project.These features currently act as hydrologic and habitat barriers.The pond dam is the most significant hydrologic barrier, as it has effects on flow regimes downstream.Wildlands has scored the artificial barrier and other categories(pond removal)functional uplift potential as moderate. An LSS determined that the areas proposed for wetland crediting have existing hydric soil as noted in the report, soil boring log, and associated figure in the Appendix.The approximately 2 acres proposed for reestablishment is not currently jurisdictional wetland due to a lack of wetland .'3 vegetation and hydrology.Wetland hydrology has been g Y gY Y gY Yam. k4(44 disrupted by a combination of channel incision, ditching, and Wit' '.. ` , use of tile drains. K '.� . Wildlands proposes to reestablish wetland hydrology by Restored wetland implementing Priority 1 stream restoration, plugging and filling ditches, creating surface roughness, and removing existing tile drains. Wildlands anticipates very minor or no grading will be necessary to uncover buried hydric soils in the reestablishment zones.These activities will work to improve hydrologic functioning of proposed reestablishment areas. While rehabilitation areas generally have functioning hydrology,they have been hydrologically disconnected from on-Site streams. Restoring the rehabilitation areas will hydrologically reconnect all on site wetlands to the streams.Wildlands has scored ditching and draining functional uplift potential as Moderate. 3.3 Functional Uplift for Habitat A portion of Site streams are actively incising and have numerous headcuts which present an impassible barrier to most aquatic organisms. Restoring the streams through these areas will improve aquatic organism passage on site. Wildlands has scored habitat fragmentation functional uplift potential as high. A large portion of Site streams have limited bedform diversity influenced by fine sediments from active bank erosion and inappropriate channel dimensions which have limited stream capacity and overwhelmed natural bedform features. A diverse bedform will be created in streams slated for restoration to provide habitat for species of insects, fish, and amphibians. Woody instream structures appropriate for the geomorphic setting, such as log weirs, woody riffles, log vanes, and brush toes will be implemented. Planting the riparian buffers with woody vegetation will provide future sources of large woody debris for the streams. Wildlands has scored limited bedform diversity functional uplift potential as high and absence of large woody debris as low. Bridgefork Dairy Mitigation Site-PART G Wildlands Engineering, Inc.

All project resources will be designed to create stable,functional stream channels and riparian wetlands. 4.1 Enhancement II Reaches slated for an Enhancement II approach include Bridgefork Creek Reaches la and 2, UT3, and UT4.These reaches are geomorphically stable in their current condition and generally have minor active bank erosion, low BHRs, and low bank slopes.As shown in Figure 2,these reaches have existing bedrock features which prevent downcutting and provide quality bedform habitat. Generally, these reaches have some existing riparian buffer, including canopy hardwood species and some scrub/shrub vegetation within the understory. Reaches along Bridgefork Creek proposed for an Enhancement II approach have historic and/or ongoing livestock access to the streams and buffers, which has threatened water quality, bank stability, and buffer integrity. Cattle exclusion, widening of the existing riparian corridor through planting, and minor bank grading and stabilization will be the primary enhancement practices along Bridgefork Creek. Enhancement practices proposed along UT4 include treating invasive vegetation in the riparian corridor including blackberry(Rubrus spp.), Chinese privet and Japanese honeysuckle.Widening of the existing riparian corridor through planting, minor bank grading, and removal of farm and agricultural debris within existing valleys will be the major enhancement practices along UT4.The downstream extents of UT4 (downstream of UT4 confluence) may also need minor bedform work to stabilize minor existing headcuts but given its location within the overall project and potential functional uplift, Wildlands felt an Enhancement II approach was appropriate for the entirety of this reach. For UT3, which has a relatively intact buffer,the primary enhancement practice will be livestock exclusion and stabilization of an existing headcut along the reach to halt future degradation of the resource. 4.2 Preservation UT5 is slated for a preservation approach. As outlined in Section 2.2 of this report, UT5 has no current livestock access, has low banks, no active heads, and generally appears to be in a stable and functioning condition. Placing the resource under the protection of the proposed conservation easement and treating understory invasive species will be the primary treatment methods along this reach. Bridgefork Dairy Mitigation Site-PART G Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page G.16 4.3 Restoration Reaches proposed for Restoration include Bridgefork Creek Reaches lb and 3, UT1, UT2, Existing Mitigation Site Designed and Constructed by Wild lands in Broad River Basin UT4A, UT6, and UT6A. Restoration reaches will . be designed and built with appropriate �� . dimension, pattern, and profile to allow for frequent overbank flooding, provide stable K bank slopes, enable biological lift, and � � � reconnect streams with existing floodplains. Reference streams will be identified and will ' 42: serve as one of the primary sources of x� - z information on which restoration designs are , based. Wildlands has developed a general � � ;+%^ " approach to be used as the basis for stream ,. restoration design.The design approach, which is tailored to each site, continues to develop as additional projects are implemented. Outside of transition zones, all reaches proposed for restoration will be done with a Priority 1 approach, raising channel beds to reconnect them with existing floodplains.Transition zones are anticipated at the upstream end of UT6, at the entrance and exit of the Dillon Road culvert crossing along UT6, and at the downstream end of Bridgefork Creek. One existing farm pond will be removed along UT1 as part of proposed restoration. Cattle will be excluded from all reaches within the proposed project area. Stream structures will be installed to promote water quality, increase bed and bank stabilization, provide bedform diversity, and increase aquatic and terrestrial habitat. Wildlands plans to evaluate stream substrate and determine appropriate gradations/bed features for the Site streams.At this stage, Wildlands believes most of these channels will be built with a sand bed approach, outside of steeper minor tributaries. Wildlands has previous experience with gully restoration, and stream stabilization and enhancement within gullies which will be required along UT4, UT4A, and UT6A.Wildlands will use BMPs (outlined below in Section 4.4)to transition extreme grades, mitigate altered drainage patterns, and provide fine sediment storage for headwater tributaries at the Site. 4.4 Wetland Mitigation Approach The wetland mitigation approach includes restoring hydrologic connection between riparian wetlands and streams through the filling of floodplain ditches, raising of adjacent stream channels, and removal of tile drains. In areas proposed for reestablishment, minor grading of overburden (less than 6 inches) may also be removed from the hydric soils. Both areas of rehabilitation and reestablishment will be ripped and disked to slow retention times and increase ponding and will be planted with appropriate wetland vegetation. Only areas defined in the LSS report included in the Appendix as containing potential hydric soils were included within wetland restoration zones. Wetland restoration zones are depicted in Figure 6. Bridgefork Dairy Mitigation Site-PART G Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page G.17 4.5 Proposed Best Management Practices(BMPs) Two water quality BMPs are proposed for the Site as BMP Constructed by Wildlands in Broad River Basin shown on Figure 6.

Additionally, the 5: " proposed BMPs will provide a functional solution to gully/tributary elevation transitions from uplands a # down to intermittent stream channels at the Site at the upstream end of UT4A and UT6A. 4.6 Vegetation Plan and Conservation Easement Establishment Native riparian buffers a minimum of 50 feet from the proposed top of bank will be planted along restored and enhanced stream reaches and in all proposed wetland restoration zones. The Site will be planted following construction of the project. The planting plan will be based on an appropriate nearbyz4' :_, reference community and past project experience.The plan will 1. be developed to restore appropriate strata (canopy, understory, shrub, and herbaceous layers). The canopy will be restored through planting of bare root trees. .., . The understory and shrub layers will be restored through a -. combination of planting bare root, low growth species and installing live stake shrub species.The herbaceous layer will be restored by seeding the disturbed area with a native seed mix Planted riparian buffer with an emphasis placed on creating good soil contact to encourage germination. Vegetation planted in restored wetland areas will be based on species identified within appropriate reference locations and professional experience based on site conditions. The conservation easement areas will be marked per DMS guidelines. 5.0 Proposed Mitigation The Site will be a combination of stream restoration, enhancement level II, and preservation totaling 10,994 stream credits. Wetland reestablishment and rehabilitation will be used to provide 2.10 wetland credits.The mitigation credit calculation was derived using the US Army Corps of Engineers' Stream Mitigation Guidance and was based on Wildlands' conceptual design for maximum ecological uplift. Given the existing conditions of the stream channels,wetlands,the disturbance factors, and the constraints, management objectives for each reach have been established.The management objective, Bridgefork Dairy Mitigation Site-PART G Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page G.18 the mitigation type, and proposed amount of mitigation is presented in Table G.7 below. Stream restoration is proposed at ratio of 1:1, enhancement level II is proposed at a ratio of 2.5:1, stream preservation is proposed at a ratio of 5:1. Wetland reestablishment is proposed at a ratio of 1:1 and wetland rehabilitation is proposed at a ratio of 1.5:1.

Option agreements for the project area shown on Figure 6 have been signed by the property owners and the Memoranda of Option are recorded at the Cleveland County Register of Deeds.The option agreements allow Wildlands to purchase a conservation easement on the project properties.The Memoranda of Option are valid for a minimum of 6 months from the closing date of RFP 16-20190301. Wildlands will convey the conservation easement to the State to provide long term protection of the Site.The conservation easement agreement will ensure the right of entry abilities of Wildlands, its contractors, and the future easement holder in any future land transactions. Copies of the Memoranda of Option are included in the appendix.The landowner, parcel identification number, and deed book and page numbers for the Memorandum of Option are summarized in Table G.8.

Annual monitoring and semi-annual site visits will be conducted to assess the condition of the completed project. Specific performance standard components are proposed for stream morphology, hydrology,vegetation, and wetland hydrology.The stream restoration reaches of the project will be assigned specific performance criteria components for hydrology,vegetation, and Bridgefork Dairy Mitigation Site-PART G Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page G.22 geomorphology.The enhancement II reaches will be assigned specific performance criteria components for vegetation only. Wetland restoration will be assigned specific performance criteria components for hydrology. Performance criteria will be evaluated throughout the (up to) seven years of post- construction monitoring. If all stream,vegetation, and hydrologic performance criteria have been successfully met and at least four bankfull events have occurred during separate years, Wildlands may propose to terminate stream, wetland, and/or vegetation monitoring after five years with written approval from the USACE and North Carolina Interagency Review Team (IRT).An outline of the performance criteria components follows. 8.1 Stream Morphological Parameters and Channel Stability Dimension Riffle cross sections on the restoration reaches should be stable and should show little change in bankfull area, BHR, and width-to-depth ratio. Riffle cross sections should fall within the parameters defined for channels of the appropriate stream type. If any changes do occur, these changes will be evaluated to assess whether the stream channel is showing signs of instability. Changes in the channel that indicate a movement toward stability or enhanced habitat include a decrease in the width-to-depth ratio in meandering channels or an increase in pool depth. Remedial action would not be taken if channel changes indicate a movement toward stability. In order to assess channel dimension performance, µ, r ,�, � :, 1 permanent cross sections will be installed on restoration and reaches per the IRT Mitigation Monitoring Guidelines r ,b� • (October 2016). Each cross section will be permanently marked with pins to establish its location. Cross section � r + µ` `; � surveys will include points measured at all breaks in slope, including top of bank, bankfull, edge of water, and thalweg. Cross section and bank pin surveys (if applicable) Example of a cross section survey will be conducted in monitoring years one,two, three,five, and seven. Profile and Pattern Longitudinal profile surveys will be conducted during the as-built survey but will not be conducted during the seven-year monitoring period unless other indicators during the annual monitoring indicate a trend toward vertical and lateral instability. If a longitudinal profile is deemed necessary, monitoring will follow standards as described in the Stream Channel Reference Sites: An Illustrated Guide to Field Technique (Harrelson et. al., 1994) for the necessary reaches. Substrate Based on our initial Site observations,this is a sand bed system and the nature of bed material is not expected to change over time. Consequently, no pebble counts will be conducted for the project and no performance standard is being set for substrate. If after project award, Wildlands determines that channel substrate is not strictly limited to sand bed features, reach-wide and wetted pebble counts will be evaluated and performed as deemed necessary to represent channel conditions. 8.2 Hydrology Stream Four bankfull flow events, occurring in separate years, must be documented on the restoration reaches within the seven-year monitoring period. Stream monitoring will continue until success criteria in the form of four bankfull events in separate years have been documented. Bankfull events will be documented using photographs and either a crest gage or a pressure transducer, as appropriate for Site Bridgefork Dairy Mitigation Site-PART G Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page G.23 conditions.The selected measurement device will be installed in the stream within a surveyed riffle cross section. Photographs will also be used to document the occurrence of debris lines and sediment deposition. Where restoration or enhancement activities are proposed for intermittent streams, monitoring gages will be installed to track the frequency and duration of stream flow events. Continuous surface water flow within the tributaries must be documented to occur every year for at least 30 consecutive days during the seven-year monitoring period.This 30-day period of flow can occur at any point during the year.Additional monitoring may be required if surface water flow cannot be documented due to abnormally dry conditions. Wetland Groundwater monitoring will be conducted for seven years after construction to evaluate the hydrologic state of the restored wetland areas. Wetland groundwater gages will be installed in accordance with the techniques and standards described in the USACE document entitled "Technical Standard for Water- Table Monitoring of Potential Wetland Sites" (ERDC TN-WRAP-05-2,June 2005). Groundwater monitoring gages will be established throughout the wetland area to adequately characterize the different soils,vegetation communities, and surface topographic variations that are found across the site.The final performance criteria for the wetland hydrology will be a groundwater level within 12 inches of the soil profile for a minimum period between 10%and 16%of the growing season as determined by the appropriate NRCS WETS table for Cleveland County. Sources used to set the wetland performance standard for the Site will include some mix of discussions with the Interagency Review Team(IRT) and LSS,Table 1 (wetland saturation threshold values)within the Wilmington District Stream and Wetland Compensatory Mitigation Update dated October 24, 2016 for Chewacla and Wehadkee soil series (based on LSS results included in the Appendix), appropriate hydrologic modeling if deemed necessary, and a potential unidentified reference wetland location if available. 8.3 Vegetation The final vegetative success criteria will be the survival of 210 planted stems per acre in the riparian corridors at the end of the required monitoring period (year seven).The interim measure of vegetative success for the site will be the survival of at least 320 native species stems per acre at the end of the third monitoring year and at least 260 stems per acre at the end of the fifth year of monitoring. Also, trees must average seven feet in height at the end of the fifth monitoring year, and ten feet in height at the end of the seventh monitoring year. If this performance standard is met by year five and stem density is trending towards success (i.e.,vigor), and invasive species are not threatening ecological success, monitoring of vegetation on the Site may be terminated with written approval by the USACE in consultation with the IRT.The extent of invasive species coverage will also be monitored and controlled as necessary throughout the required monitoring period. Vegetation monitoring quadrants will be installed across the Site to measure the survival of the planted trees.The number of monitoring quadrants required, and frequency of monitoring will be based on the October 2016 IRT Mitigation Monitoring Guidance.Vegetation monitoring will occur in the summer and will follow the CVS-EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation (2008) or another DMS approved protocol. 8.4 Other Parameters Photo Reference Stations Photographs should illustrate the Site's vegetation and morphological stability on an annual basis. Cross section photos should demonstrate no excessive erosion or degradation of the banks. Longitudinal photos should indicate the absence of persistent mid-channel bars within the channel or vertical Bridgefork Dairy Mitigation Site-PART G Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page G.24 incision. Grade control structures should remain stable. Deposition of sediment on the bank side of vane arms is preferable. Maintenance of scour pools on the channel side of vane arms is expected. Photographs will be taken once a year to visually document stability for seven years following construction. Permanent markers will be established and located with GPS equipment, so that the same locations and view directions on the Site are photographed each year. Photos will be used to monitor restoration and enhancement areas, as well as vegetation plots. Longitudinal reference photos will be established at regular intervals along the channel by taking a photo looking upstream and downstream. Cross sectional photos will be taken of each permanent cross section looking upstream and downstream. Reference photos will also be taken for each of the vegetation plots. Representative digital photos of each permanent photo point, cross section, and vegetation plot will be taken when the stream and vegetation assessments are conducted.The photographer will make every effort to consistently maintain the same area in each photo over time. Visual Assessments Visual assessments should support the specific performance standards for each metric as described above.Visual assessments will be performed along stream reaches on a semi-annual basis during the seven-year monitoring period. Problem areas such as channel instability(e.g. lateral and/or vertical instability, instream structure failure/instability and/or piping, headcuts),vegetation health (e.g. low stem density,vegetation mortality, invasive species, or encroachment), beaver activity, or livestock access will be noted. Areas of concern will be mapped and photographed and will be accompanied by a written description in the annual report. Problem areas will be re-evaluated during each subsequent visual assessment. Should remedial actions be required, a plan of action will be provided in the annual monitoring report. Benthic Macroinvertebrates If required by DWR as part of the project's permitting process, benthic macroinvertebrate sampling will be performed on the restored site.Any required sampling will be performed using DWR Standard Operating Procedures for Benthic Macroinvertebrates(October 2012). 8.5 Reporting Performance Criteria Using the DMS Baseline Monitoring Report Template (June 2017), a baseline monitoring document and as-built record drawings of the project will be developed for the constructed Site.Annual monitoring reports will be prepared in the fall of each year of monitoring and submitted to DMS.These reports will be based on the DMS Annual Monitoring Template (June 2017) and Closeout Report Template (June 2017). Full monitoring reports will be submitted to DMS in monitoring years 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7. Abbreviated monitoring reports will be submitted in monitoring years 4 and 6. Closeout monitoring period will be seven years beyond completion of construction or until performance standards have been met. 8.6 Maintenance and Contingency Plans The Wildlands Team will develop necessary adaptive measures or implement appropriate remedial actions if the site or a specific component of the site fails to achieve the success criteria outlined above. The project-specific monitoring plan developed during the design phase will identify an appropriate threshold for maintenance intervention based on the monitored items. Any actions implemented will be designed to achieve the success criteria previously specified and will include a work schedule and updated monitoring criteria (if applicable). Bridgefork Dairy Mitigation Site-PART G Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page G.25 9.0 Quality Control The Wildlands Team takes pride in the quality of services that we RA F1.T deliver to our clients. We strive to exceed our clients' expectations.To Pb>w,wm. maintain the highest level of quality, Wildlands has an established Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) protocol that every °«�� member of our staff follows. �. .a.CN,..N.- At the beginning of a project, the necessary level of QA/QC is ▪ e, ,N determined based on the size and complexity of the project.At a RN o> �. minimum,the project manager and an assigned QA/QC manager will function to control the quality of the project.The project manager Re'"'"' PNII.•1015W W. IICpmbnN�gpwl (uhmealtlM1 A.mmAl. ▪ Al provides day-to-day QA/QC and may assign task leaders to provide task-specific quality control (QC)functions.The QA/QC manager is a An.�m▪ ,,NN Con.n�wil APMu,Im Asn . Aue knowledgeable senior staff member who is not assigned to function in `"'"�`mm '_ a lead capacity on other areas of the project.This provides the QA/QC manager objective views of the quality of work. Ad Err Our QC program includes established procedures for processes performed from project inception through implementation and monitoring of the project. For example, Wildlands has developed standardized checklists and pre-defined procedures for activities such as field surveys of stream cross-sections and profiles, pebble counts, - benthic surveys, bank stability assessments, natural channel design, permitting, contract document preparation, post-construction baseline survey, and post construction monitoring.The checklists are largely based on the most current DMS guidelines to ensure that all required information is included in the correct format.Task leaders assigned for each activity train project team members in the application of these procedures.The task leaders assist the project manager by providing day-to-day QC functions, such as establishing clear decisions and directions to team members in the field, checking the completeness and accuracy of checklists, constant supervision, and documentation of all decisions, assumptions, and recommendations.The role of the project manager in QC is to monitor and maintain project schedule and budget, address any concerns the client may have, constantly assess company resources, and review all of the checklists. During the conceptual and preliminary design stages,the project manager and the task leader will perform a review of the design data, plans,technical specifications, and construction estimate for accuracy, correct approach, and general overall quality of the product and compliance with DMS formats before submission to the client. Sediment sampling, groundwater gage monitoring, and pressure transducer surface flow monitoring are frequently used during the design phase to validate the design criteria and analytical models.The project manager will perform a similar review at final design as will the QA/QC manager. During the construction phase,the project manager and the construction task manager will regularly meet to provide updates and discuss any issues.The goal of the QC process is to provide the highest quality product to our client by completing tasks correctly the first time. By completing procedural processes once,Wildlands helps ensure that we deliver the best products at a minimum cost to our clients. QA is performed to confirm that the QC program is effectively practiced, and to provide feedback on further developments needed in the QC program.The QA/QC manager leads the QA program; however, the project manager,task leaders, and project team staff also play large roles. It is each person's responsibility to notify the QA/QC manager whenever discrepancies and inefficiencies are found in the set of procedural activities that make up the QC process.The objective of QA is the continual improvement of the total delivery process to enhance quality, productivity, and customer satisfaction. Bridgefork Dairy Mitigation Site-PART G Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page G.26 We are continually improving the QC process so that our latest products and services are better than the previous ones. 9.1 Deliverables The project schedule is established during the scoping phases of a project and it is the project manager's responsibility to maintain the schedule.A work plan is developed at the outset of a project and shared internally with team members so that milestone deadlines and work requirements are clearly outlined. Review time is built into this internal schedule to ensure that adequate review takes place. The QA form, which is maintained by the QA/QC manager, is established at the beginning of the project and is maintained throughout the life of the project. Reviews of technical data, design parameters, reports, plan sheets, hydraulic models, and supporting calculations are tracked on the form. Included on this form are requirements that a professional staff member, who is not involved in the project on a day-to-day basis, review the design calculations, hydraulic models, reports, plans, and all other types of project deliverables. Conformance with DMS report templates and a final grammar/spelling/formatting review are also integrated into the QA review process. 9.2 Construction Wildlands team members are familiar with the policies, procedures, and practices necessary to construct natural channel design and stream and wetland mitigation projects. Wildlands has provided construction administration and observation services of over 83 miles of stream work and 459 acres of wetland work. We believe that project implementation is the ultimate key to a successful project and, to achieve this, it is extremely important to have our most experienced staff members involved on all construction projects.

SUSTAINABILITY: To support the sustainability efforts of the State of North Carolina we solicit your cooperation in this effort. Pursuant to Executive Order 156 (1999), it is desirable that all print responses submitted meet the Ver:4/22/19 Page 28 of 41 Proposal Number: 16-20190301 Vendor: Wildlands Engineering, Inc. following: • All copies of the proposal are printed double sided. • All submittals and copies are printed on recycled paper with a minimum post-consumer content of 30%. • Unless absolutely necessary, all proposals and copies should minimize or eliminate use of non-recyclable or non-reusable materials such as plastic report covers, plastic dividers, vinyl sleeves, and GBC binding.

RECIPROCAL PREFERENCE: G.S. 143-59 establishes a reciprocal preference requirement to discourage other states from favoring their own resident Vendors by applying a percentage increase to the price of any proposal from a North Carolina resident Vendor.

Cost information shall not be deemed confidential under any circumstances. Regardless of what a Vendor may label as a trade secret,the determination whether it is or is not entitled to protection will be determined in accordance with G.S. 132-1.2.Any material labeled as confidential constitutes a representation by the Vendor that it has made a reasonable effort in good faith to determine that such material is, in fact, a trade secret under G.S. 132-1.2.Vendors are urged and cautioned to limit the marking of information as a trade secret or as confidential so far as is possible.

Portions of the evaluated areas are currently planted in herbaceous grass,while the remainder is made up of mature mixed hardwoods. Areas that are considered to be hydric soils contained hydric soil indicator F3. (see attached Figure A- Preliminary Soils Investigation Map) METHODOLOGY On March 17`h, 2020 S&EC, PA staff performed a hydric soil evaluation at the site. Hand auger borings were advanced on the property at locations as appropriate to approximately estimate the location and extent of hydric soils within the project area (see attached Figure A- Preliminary Soils Investigation Map). Each soil boring was evaluated to assess the presence or absence of hydric soil indicators. Hydric soil indicators were identified utilizing the NRCS Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States-A Guide for Identifying and Delineating Hydric Soils (Version 8.2, 2018). Most of the areas evaluated are mapped as the somewhat poorly drained Chewacla (Fluvaquentic Dystrudepts). All hydric soils observed onsite were most like the Wehadkee soil series (Typic Fluvaquents) and any variations in the soil profiles were within the range of characteristics detailed in the Official Series Description. RESULTS Approximately 41 soil borings were performed within the study area. Soil characteristics were evaluated, and all areas identified as containing hydric soils met the hydric soil criteria described below. Several of the borings met F3 indicator (a) while most met F3 indicator (b) (see below) Soil boring locations are indicated on the attached Figure A- Preliminary Soils Investigation Map. All soil borings had a depleted matrix (F3 indicator) within 10" of current land surface. A few borings had an F19 indicator above the F3 (b) indicator as indicated in the table included in Figure A. Indicator F3: Depleted Matrix Technical Description: 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) 2 in. (5 cm) if the 2 in. (5 cm) is entirely within the upper 6 in. (15 cm) of the soil, or (b) 6 in. (15 cm) starting within 10 in. (25 cm) of the soil surface. 2 Depth to Depth of Boring'11Hydric Boring Hydric '� ._____ — Indicator Indicator Project Parcels B1 0"-F3 B22 0"-F3 rl�l�l�_ , # _� 0111" #.
