The final revised digital documents will be sent via a secure ftp link. Our responses to your review comments received on January 8,2021 are provided below: 1. Digital Files a. The following stream features do not match reported lengths in the asset table, and are outlined below as feature length vs. asset table length. Please provide DMS with features that accurately represent the assets reported in the "Restoration Footage or Acreage" column of the asset table. • UT2: 2,309 vs. 2,133 • UT3: 1,184 vs. 1,141 Response: Baker has provided the revised stream shapefile as requested. b. Please submit a separate stream shapefile that excludes the length of stream no longer receiving credit. Response: Baker has also included this separate shapefile with the length of upper UT2 removed that has IRT concerned and which was not approved for credit release in MY6. 2. Due to IRT concerns with the upper portions of UT2 an eighth year of monitoring(MY8)is required. DMS recommends requesting permission from the IRT for discontinuation of monitoring vegetation plots,wetland gauges, and UT3 flow gauges since all have met required project success criteria. Response: Given the IRT's concerns with upper UT2 as previously discussed at the virtual credit release meeting last April,Baker has been preparing for an additional monitoring year (MY8) as stated. Baker would welcome a discontinuation of monitoring on the other features mentioned,which as noted have met the project success criteria,and for which there has been no expressed IRT concern.

ST.CLAIR CREEK RESTORATION PROJECT,DMS PROJECT NUMBER-95015 MONITORING YEAR 7 OF 7(2020) 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Michael Baker Engineering, Inc. (Baker) restored 3,274 linear feet of perennial and intermittent headwater stream, 2.8 acres of riparian wetlands, and planted 17.5 acres of native riparian vegetation within the entire conservation easement along two unnamed tributaries (UT2 and UT3) to St. Clair Creek in Beaufort County, North Carolina(NC) (Figure 1). The St. Clair Creek Restoration Project(Site) is located in Beaufort County, approximately five miles east of the Town of Bath. The Site is located in the NC Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) subbasin 03-03-07 and the NC Depailment of Environmental Quality (NC DEQ) Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) Targeted Local Watershed (TLW) 03020104-040040 of the Tar-Pamlico River Basin. The project involved the restoration of a Coastal Plain Headwater Small Stream Swamp system (Schafale and Weakley 1990) from impairments within the project area due to past agricultural conversion and silviculture. The primary restoration goals of the project were to improve ecological functions to the impaired areas within the Tar-Pamlico River Basin as described below: • Create geomorphically stable conditions along the unnamed tributaries across the project, • Implement agricultural BMPs to reduce nonpoint source inputs to the downstream estuary, • Protect and improve water quality by reducing nutrient and sediment inputs, • Restore stream and wetland hydrology by connecting historic flow paths and promoting natural flood processes, and • Restore and protect riparian buffer functions and corridor habitat in perpetuity by establishing a permanent conservation easement. To accomplish these goals,the following objectives were identified: • Restore existing channelized streams by restoring the relic headwater valley and allowing diffuse flow, providing the streams access to their floodplains, • Increase aquatic habitat value by allowing natural microtopography to form, • Plant native species riparian buffer vegetation within the headwater valley and floodplain areas, and within the wetland areas, protected by a permanent conservation easement, to increase stormwater runoff filtering capacity,decrease erosion, and shade the stream to decrease water temperature, • Improve aquatic and terrestrial habitat through improved substrate and in-stream cover, addition of woody debris, and reduction of water temperature, and • Control invasive species vegetation within the project area and if necessary continue treatments during the monitoring period. During Year 7 monitoring,the planted acreage performance categories were functioning at 100 percent with no bare areas or low stem density areas to report. The average density of total planted stems, based on data collected from the nine monitoring plots during Year 7 monitoring, is 594 stems per acre. Thus, the Year 7 data demonstrate that the Site has met the final success criteria of 210 stems per acre. During the previous Year 7 monitoring,Pinus taeda(loblolly pine)saplings were thinned throughout the buffer on UT2, in particular in the middle and upper sections. However, during Year 7 monitoring, new, rapidly growing loblolly pine seedlings and short saplings were again found scattered throughout the riparian buffer of the UT2 area. It should be noted that the pines do not appear to be suppressing planted species survival or MICHAEL BAKER ENGINEERING,INC. ST.CLAIR CREEK RESTORATION PROJECT,DMS PROJECT NUMBER-95015 1 MONITORING YEAR 7 OF 7(2020) growth as vegetation density appears strong throughout the project, even in areas with pine presence. Nevertheless,these pines will again be treated and heavily thinned during the winter or spring of 2021 prior to any IRT site closeout visits using hand/power tools and/or chemical applications. The project will continue to be observed for pine growth throughout the remaining monitoring period. Year 7 wetland groundwater monitoring demonstrated that all 8 of the groundwater monitoring wells located in the wetland credited areas along UT2 and UT3 met the success criteria by recording water levels within 12 inches of the ground surface for a consecutive period greater than 12%of the growing season(33 days for the Site). The Year 7 hydroperiods ranged from 15.6%to 26.6%. All of the wells passed the success criteria early in the year, just after the growing season began. All wetland restoration well data and reference well data collected during Year 7 monitoring are located in Appendix D. Additionally,there are two groundwater monitoring wells(SCAW9 and SCAW 10)installed on 3/16/17 in areas located outside the project's currently approved mitigation plan wetland restoration areas. Well SCAW9 met the 12%hydroperiod success criteria with 17.7%,though SCAW 10 did not with only 7.8%. Both well locations certainly appear quite wet. Please note these areas are not being requested for any credits of any kind at this time. Baker is simply conducting exploratory monitoring within potential future wetland restoration areas. The three potential areas total 1.1 acres and are all located outside the 50 ft buffer from the stream channel but within the conservation easement (see Figure 2 in Appendix B). Baker is not presenting this information here for formal approval or acceptance,but to simply inform DMS and the IRT of all project activity. On-site flow through the restored headwater valleys of UT2 and UT3 was recorded through the use of seven installed pressure transducers as flow gauges. Each one met the success criteria in Year 7 by recording a consecutive flow event of 30 days or longer in 2020. Of note, Flow gauge SCFL#4 located at the top of UT2 met the success criteria, recording its longest single duration flow event of 45 days in February and March. This is of particular significance as flow in the upper portion of UT2 and the results of Flow Gauge #4 have been the subject of IRT concern in the past. The flow gauge success summary Table 11 and all individual flow gauge graphs are found in Appendix D. Additionally, during MY7 two cross-section transects were conducted in the upper portion of Reach UT2 to help demonstrate flow and channel formation. Please see the Memorandum included in Appendix D for more details. In addition, currently contracted riparian buffer credits have been included as part of the project as referenced by the"Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation"memo from Karen Higgins (NCDWR) dated 1/7/16 and included as an asset in this report(as found in Appendix A). As part of the St. Clair Creek Restoration project,Riparian Buffer credits in excess of the contracted 6.8 acres (296,208 square feet) will be provided. Monitoring for success of riparian buffers will continue to follow the existing vegetation monitoring protocol and success criteria as stated in the approved mitigation plan for stream and wetland vegetation success. Only vegetation plots 1-6 are located within the approved buffer credit areas and no additional vegetation monitoring plots are required to monitor buffer success as these existing plots serve to monitor the success of the vegetation of the headwater coastal plain stream and the associated riparian buffer. The Year 7 monitoring results demonstrate that the site has met the success criteria requirements for Riparian Buffer credits in each of vegetation plots 1- 6 as described in the buffer memo, and with an overall average density of 492 stems/acre. Summary information/data related to the Site and statistics related to 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 Baseline Monitoring Report and in the Mitigation Plan available on the North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services (NCDMS) website. All raw data supporting the tables and figures in the Appendices are available from NCDMS upon request. MICHAEL BAKER ENGINEERING,INC. ST.CLAIR CREEK RESTORATION PROJECT,DMS PROJECT NUMBER-95015 2 MONITORING YEAR 7 OF 7(2020) 2.0 METHODOLOGY The seven-year monitoring plan for the Site includes criteria to evaluate the success of the stream,wetland and vegetation components of the project. The methodology and report template used to evaluate these components adheres to the NCDMS monitoring guidance document dated 11/7/11, which will continue to serve as the template for subsequent monitoring years. The specific locations of monitoring features, such as vegetation plots, flow gauges and wells are shown on the CCPV sheets found in Appendix B. The growing season for the Beaufort County ends on December 6th, and the final well and flow data were collected on 12/10/20. The visual site assessment data contained in Appendix B were also collected in December 2020 as noted. 2.1 Stream Assessment— Reaches UT2 and UT3 The UT2 and UT3 mitigation approach involved the restoration of historic flow patterns and flooding functions in a multi-thread headwater stream system, monitoring efforts will focus on visual observations to document stability and the use of water level monitoring gauges to document saturation and flooding functions. The methods used and any related success criteria are described below for each parameter. Monitoring efforts focus on visual observations and in-channel flow gauges/pressure transducers to document stream success. As-built Stream survey data was collected to a minimum of Class C Vertical and Class A Horizontal Accuracy using Leica TS06 Total Station and was georeferenced to the NAD83 State Plane Coordinate System,FIPS3200 in US Survey Feet, which was derived from the As-built Survey. This survey system collects point data with an accuracy of less than one tenth of a foot. 2.1.1 Hydrology Total observed area rainfall for the previous 12-month period from December 2019 through November 2020 was 60.5 inches, as compared to the Beaufort County WETS table for the same period of 50.0 inches annually(see Figure 5 in Appendix D). Four automated flow gauges (pressure transducers)were originally installed in the UT2 channel along with two flow gauges installed in the UT3 channel. The gauges were installed approximately 500 feet apart within the restored systems to document flow duration. Additionally,a fifth flow gauge(SCFL#7) was installed approximately halfway between SCFL#4 and SCFL#3 on 6/6/18 in the upper portion of UT2. As stated in the mitigation plan, annual success criteria are considered to have been met if 30 consecutive days of flow were observed at any point during the monitoring year,with two such 30-day flow events having been documented in separate monitoring years. The individual flow gauge graphs and the flow gauge success summary Table 11 are all located in Appendix D. Additionally, during MY7 two cross-section transects were conducted in the upper portion of Reach UT2 to help demonstrate flow and channel formation. Please see the Memorandum included in Appendix D for more details. 2.1.2 Photographic Documentation The reaches were photographed longitudinally beginning at the downstream end of both reaches, moving upstream to the beginning of each reach. Photographs were taken looking at established locations throughout the restored stream valley. Points were close enough together to provide an overall view of the reach lengths and valley crenulations. Photographs of the stream photo points, wetland wells, and flow gauges are all located in Appendix B. MICHAEL BAKER ENGINEERING,INC. ST.CLAIR CREEK RESTORATION PROJECT,DMS PROJECT NUMBER-95015 3 MONITORING YEAR 7 OF 7(2020) 2.2 Wetland Assessment Wetland monitoring is conducted using eight automated groundwater-monitoring stations that are installed within the UT-2 and UT-3 wetland restoration areas, as well as two additional reference wells installed in the downstream portion of the UT-3 wetland restoration area. Installation of these groundwater monitoring stations follow Corps of Engineers Wetlands Research Program Technical Note VN-rs-4.1 (USACE 1997)and the water table monitoring standards follow Technical Note ERDC TN-WRAP-05-2 (USACE 2005). All wetland restoration well data collected during Year 7 monitoring are located in Appendix D. The automated loggers are programmed to collect data to document groundwater levels in the restored wetland areas. The success criteria for wetland hydrology are considered to have been met when the site has groundwater within 12 inches of the soil surface for a consecutive number of days equal to a minimum of 12% of the growing season. For Beaufort County, the growing season is from February 28 to December 6 (282 days), so 12%is a minimum of 33.8 consecutive days for the Site. It should also be noted that while the success criteria stated in the mitigation plan for wetland hydroperiod is 12%,the 10/24/16 Wilmington District Stream and Wetland Compensatory Mitigation Update document states that for the Tomotley soils series (which is mapped on the project site) the wetland hydroperiod range is 10% to 12%. Two more groundwater monitoring wells (SCAW9 and SCAW10) were installed on 3/16/17 in areas located outside the project's currently approved mitigation plan wetland restoration areas (see Figure 2 in Appendix B). Please note these areas are not being requested for any credits of any kind at this time. Baker is simply conducting exploratory monitoring in potential future wetland restoration areas. The three potential areas total 1.1 acres and are all located outside the 50 ft buffer from the stream channel but within the conservation easement. Baker is not presenting this information here for formal approval or acceptance, but simply wishes to inform NCDMS and the IRT of all project activity. Additionally, during Year 7 monitoring, the connection pins on the wetland reference well SCAWREF2 degraded to the point where Baker was unable to connect and download the device. It has been sent to the manufacturer(In-Situ)for their processing. 2.2.1 Wetlands Modifications Review A brief summary of previous wetlands modifications is presented here as a review of relevant project history. A more detailed description of this work was presented in the Year 3 report. In the fall of 2015, the restoration site landowner cut a network of drainage ditches adjacent to the easement boundaries of both UT2 and UT3 with the intent to drain water away from his nearby pine plantation. The work was implemented without the knowledge of Baker and was discovered in the fall of 2015 during monitoring activities. To help remedy the situation, Baker oversaw three areas of drainage modifications to the project in March of 2016: 1)Three French drains were installed under the farm road along the northern portion of UT2 and were linked to wide,shallow swales cut into the buffer to reconnect water flow from the adjacent landowner's field that routinely ponded water behind the road. 2) The drainage ditch running parallel to the easement boundary along the western portion of UT2 was filled, and three wide, shallow swales were cut to connect the existing drainages within the pine plantation to the project wetlands and buffer. 3) The drainage ditch running parallel to the easement boundary along the western edge of UT3 was filled, and a shallow swale was cut to connect drainage from the pine plantation into an existing shallow depression located within the existing wetland. MICHAEL BAKER ENGINEERING,INC. ST.CLAIR CREEK RESTORATION PROJECT,DMS PROJECT NUMBER-95015 4 MONITORING YEAR 7 OF 7(2020) It was observed during the Year 7 monitoring that diffuse flow does move through all of the installed swales,and all remain stable and vegetated. Additional groundwater monitoring wells 5-8 were installed in April of 2016 specifically to observe the wetland restoration areas potentially affected by these modifications. The locations of this previous work are provided in Figure 2 in Appendix B. 2.3 Vegetation Assessment In order to determine if the criteria are achieved, vegetation-monitoring quadrants were installed and are monitored across the restoration site in accordance with the CVS-NCDMS Protocol for Recording Vegetation, Version 4.1 (Lee 2007) and the CVS-NCDMS data entry tool v 2.3.1 (CVS 2012). The vegetation monitoring plots are a minimum of 2 percent of the planted portion of the Site with nine plots established randomly within the Site's planted riparian buffer areas per Monitoring Levels 1 and 2. The sizes of individual quadrants are 100 square meters for woody tree species. Complete Year 7 vegetation assessment information is provided in Appendix C. 2.3.1 Vegetation Concerns During Year 7 monitoring,Pinus taeda(loblolly pine) seedlings and short saplings were again found scattered throughout the riparian buffer of the UT2 restoration area. It should be noted that the pines do not appear to be suppressing planted species survival or growth as vegetation density appears strong throughout the project,even in areas with pine presence. However, these pines will be treated and thinned again during the winter and/or spring of 2021 using hand/power tools and/or chemical applications. The entire project will continue to be closely observed for pine growth throughout the remaining monitoring period. 3.0 REFERENCES Carolina Vegetation Survey(CVS)and NC Division of Mitigation Services (DMS).

JAY ZIMMERMAN ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY fttrectoi January 7, 2016 Kristin Miguez DWR#2013-0739 DEQ-Division of Mitigation Services 1652 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-I652 (via electronic mail) Re: Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation—St. Clair Creek Headwater Stream Site off Peoples Road, Bath, NC Beaufort County Dear Ms. Miguez, On October 5, 2015, Katie Merritt, with the Division of Water Resources(DWR), received a request from Jake Byers with Michael Baker Engineering, for a site visit at the St. Clair Creek Restoration Site located off Peoples Road in Bath,NC to determine the potential for Tar-Pamlico Neuse riparian buffer mitigation. On December 3, 2015, Ms. Merritt performed a site assessment of the subject site. Karen Higgins and Mac Haupt with the DWR along with you and Mr. Byers were also present. If approved,mitigating this site could provide riparian buffer mitigation credits within the 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Code 03020104 of the Tar-Pamlico River Basin and as allowed under 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (f). Ms. Merritt's evaluation of the site as an alternative buffer mitigation option for buffer mitigation pursuant to Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o) (1) and (2) (effective November 1,2015) is provided below: UT2 • UT2 was approved as part of a Coastal Headwater Stream Mitigation Site(DWR#2013- (1739)by the IRT in 2013 and is in its second year of monitoring. A copy of the approved mitigation plan has been provided to the DWR. • Preliminary site conditions along with the onsite visit in December 2015 suggests that the entire area along UT2 (0-100')is viable for riparian restoration and suitable for buffer mitigation credit at 1:I. Preliminary photos and documentation have been provided to the DWR. • The buffer must be measured perpendicular to the length of the valley being restored. Approximately 8.35 acres (363,577 fi2)have been planted and restored. A copy of the proposed restoration site has been provided to DWR. • An agricultural ditch is present within the proposed riparian restoration and isn't planned to be removed. The presence of this ditch does not comply with the diffuse flow requirement of Rule .0295. However, DMS can apply Clarification Memo #2008-019 to State of North Carolina + Environmental Quality I Water Reaoarcex 1617 Mail service Canter Raleigh.North Carolina 27699-1 617 919 807 6300 St. Clair Creek Restoration Project Buffer Mitigation Viability January 7, 2015 Page 2 of 2 this project in order to calculate the deduction of buffer credit where diffuse flow cannot be attained. • According to the St. Clair Creek Restoration Project Year 1 Monitoring Report submitted in April 2015, all 6 vegetative monitoring plots within the riparian areas are meeting the success criteria identified in Rule .0295. A copy of the Year 1 Monitoring Report has been provided to the DWR. • A conservation easement of the proposed area, dated June 24`11, 2013 has been provided to the DWR and is more accurately described as CE-1 and containing 11.55 acres, more or less. The easement document is located in the Beaufort County Register of Deeds, Book 1821, Pages 53-64. A map showing the project site and the buffer mitigation areas assessed is provided and signed by Ms. Merritt on January 6, 2016. DWR did not assess this site for viability of nutrient offset and therefore only buffer mitigation is approved. DMS shall provide an annual monitoring report to Ms. Merritt for review and approval each year for four more years and until the performance standards have been met. The performance standards for buffer mitigation under Rule.0295 are the following: (n) (2) (B) -A minimum of four native hardwood tree species or,four native hardwood tree and native shrub species, where no one species is greater than 50 percent of the stems. (o) (2)—All success criteria specified in the approval of the stream mitigation site by the Division shall be met. Please provide an As-Built survey verifying the acreage proposed for buffer mitigation credit and a buffer credit ledger for this site to Ms_ Merritt within 30 days from receipt of this letter. If you have any questions regarding this correspondence contact Katie Merritt at(919)-807-6371.

B and C are angles. a,b,and c are distances(lengths) OWQ believes that using an immediate drainage area extending at a 60-degree angle from the point of discharge to the stream is a reasonable approach to the issue of determining the area which is not draining through the restored buffer. To calculate the area of buffer being"short-circuited"by the ditch,the area of the right triangles shown in the figure above must be determined. a= 50' A=30° B=60' b=a cot A b=50(1.732) b= 86.6' (87') The area to be excluded from credit would be the area of the two right triangles: Area=(a x b)/2 Area- (50 feet x 87feet)/2 Area=2,175 SF Total deducted area=2,175 x 2=4,350 SF'or 0.1 acres. The example shown above assumes a buffer width of 50 feet from the top of bank(riparian buffer mitigation site). For nutrient offset sites,credit can be generated out to 200 feet from the top of bank.

The purposes of this meeting were to: 1. Discuss credits to be released and to get ready for project closeout; and 2. Identify and discuss potential concerns/issues based on field observations. General recent weather conditions have been hot and dry in the area. UT2 The group met at the entrance of the path leading to the site off Peoples Road in Bath, NC. A general site overview and map orientation was provided and discussed.The group then started walking into the site near monitoring well 5 where Melanie and Erin took a soil sample within the wetland boundary.The soils showed mottling and developing hydric features.The group walked upstream. Both Kim and Erin questioned if the site had previous supplemental planting due to the height of some of the trees they encountered. Katie replied that there had been supplemental planting (40 containerized plants were installed in early 2019). Erin mentioned that the vigor of the trees looked good for the most part and noticed an effort to control the pine tree population. Kim mentioned, with the surrounding pine tree population, that the elimination of all pine trees is inevitable but was glad to see that efforts have been made. Another soil sample was taken near monitoring well 2. Melanie and Erin both were more pleased with the results of this sample as it showed more distinct hydric indicators. The group continued up UT2 towards flow gauge 3. As a group, we inspected the stream area looking at signs of water,flow,veg, and overall conditions of the stream.The stream was dry but had evidence of water and the group all agreed that water flows in this area. Katie shared all the flow gauges have already met 30 days of continuous flow this year(2019) and the Mitigation Plan's success criteria calls for two years with 30 consecutive days to be accepted.At this time the group separated and headed up to the main area of concern flow gauges 4 and 7.Along the way,Jeff referenced the coastal headwater streams guidance and how bed and bank formation is not the design for this Rosgen DA stream type. Kim seemed to recall the Mitigation Plan stating that and agreed with the design. She said she was more concerned with the flow of the water and amount of water that was moving through the system.Jeff mentioned that he has visited the site on many occasions and it typically has wet channel conditions with water up to his ankles. As the group made it to flow gauge 7 they noticed a small hole in the ground about 1" in diameter about 6" downstream of the gauge,that some believed could be tampering with the results. Both Kim and Travis questioned our results of 84 consecutive days as of March 26th this year considering how different flow gauge 7 and 3 were from each other.Travis mentioned that it might be appropriate to check the gauges and confirm that the gauges are reading properly.The group then headed to flow gauge 4 still looking at veg and channel condition. Melanie and Erin took another soil sample right by the gauge and confirmed the hydric soils and could see a difference in the wetland soils compared to the stream soils. Out of curiosity Erin took a soil sample on the floodplain outside of the Swale.This confirmed that these soils were upland and much different than both the stream and wetlands previous.This concluded the UT2 portion of the walk through and the group decided to continue to UT3. UT3 The group congregated at the top of UT3 at monitoring well 8 to orient themselves with the map and discuss the area. Erin mentioned that the veg looked good and could notice pine and sweetgum removal. Maria and Travis began looking at the ditches in the easement and outside the easement while Jeremiah, Erin, and Melanie took a soil sample by monitoring well 7.The soils were dry but showed good hydric indicators throughout the soil. After this the group fast tracked to the culverts at the bottom of UT3 to look for flow and culvert placement. On the way, Erin asked Drew if invasive have been treated and he replied that no invasive species have been an issue on this site. Once the group got to the culvert they made there way in the stream towards flow gauge 5. Kim saw no issues with the gauge or stream and Travis was fine with the culverts.This concluded the UT3 walk through. This concluded the walkover and below are a few notes that were discussed back at the vehicles before departure. Erin summarized soils: - soils look better than expected, seeing hydric indicators except near veg plot 5 which was showing mottling and developing hydric indicators. - dark surface soil - wetlands were a sandy/loam and the reach turned silt - stream soils differed from the wetland and upland soils Travis commented: - flow gauges should be checked for proper installation and maintenance to make sure they are accurately matching the onsite evidence of flow Kim's summary: - USACE will be looking for a stream JD at close out. UT3 looks OK; however,the upper section of UT2 is questionable. - Ditch manipulations from the adjacent ag fields (currently drained and being maintenance) may not be helping the site. - Vegetation along UT3 does not look like a wetland with evidence of black berry and ant hills. Soils do appear to be wetting. - Some of the vegetation onsite is a little short. There is a strong pine seed source, but Michael Baker has worked on the population on-site. - Release: o At risk at top of UT2, recommend holding. o Wetlands held at MY 3 and 4, OK with releasing this year. o Melanie will make a recommendation for release. This represents Baker Engineering's best interpretation of the meeting discussions.

Success Criteria per St.Clair Creek Mitigation Plan: Two surface water flow events(when flow duration occurs for a minimum of 30 days)must be documented within a five-year monitoring period; otherwise,monitoring will continue for seven years or until two flow events have been documented in separate years. The automated gauges should document the occurrence of extended periods of shallow surface ponding,indicative of flow. Surface water flow is estimated to have occurred when the pressure transducer reading is equal to or above 0.25 inches. MICHAEL BAKER ENGINEERING, INC. YEAR 7 MONITORING REPORT ST.

Michael Baker INTERNATIONAL Memorandem St. Clair Creek Restoration Project: Channel Cross-Section Analysis for UT2 Flow DMS Project ID. 95015 NC DEQ Contract#003986 USACE Action ID: SAW-2008-02655, DWR#13-0739 Tar-Pamlico River Basin: 03020104-040040 Date Prepared: December 13, 2020 Subject: Channel Cross-Section Analysis for UT2 Flow Recorded By: Scott King During the monitoring period for the St Clair Creek project,the IRT has expressed reservations regarding the seasonal flow present in the upper section of Reach UT2. Specifically, whether or not there is enough flow present to develop an appropriate channel or channels common to headwater coastal plain systems. The entire reach is seasonally thick with herbaceous vegetation, which serves to mask both the presence of water in the reach in photographs as well as the development of a threaded channel system. Even during field inspections it can be difficult to discern the level of scour and channel formation present in the reach. As such, Baker took two cross-section transects in the upper portion of UT2 on May 1, 2020 to better illustrate the current conditions in these locations. Please find attached the results of these cross-sections. They reveal the presence of a distinct multi- thread channel with shallow water present in the two primary threads at the time of the survey in the upper transect, and larger channel development with shallow water present in the lower transect. Both transects show signs of channel scour and evolution, with rough, irregular rutting and scour found all across the transects, even along the relatively gentle adjacent side slopes draining into the channel. As the tree canopy matures and generates more shade for the reach, it is expected that this will depress the extent of the herbaceous growth, which will in turn allow for even more scour and channel development as this growth certainly provides substantial protection during storm events. Even during the winter,the presence of dead or quiescent vegetation acts as a stabilizing influence. Furthermore, this entire headwater system is low-gradient as is common in this portion of the low-lying Coastal Plain, and during heavy storm events much of the entire surrounding landscape is often inundated, which in turn inhibits the presence of a higher-velocity scouring flow that might be found in steeper gradient systems. If the IRT finds these transects helpful for their evaluation of the upper portion of UT2, Baker would be happy to take several more transects for their future review.
