In order to provide stream channel restoration and riverine wetland restoration, IP has removed the McDonalds Pond Dam (Dam) located on Falling Creek. The Site comprises approximately 128 acres, and includes the 17.7 acre McDonalds Pond (a.k.a Shepards Lake), portions of Falling Creek, numerous headwater tributaries and over 80 acres of forested riparian wetlands, seepage wetlands, and marsh wetlands. The Dam was removed in a manner to minimize potential impacts to water resources. Gradual dewatering and phased dam removal were undertaken to avoid introducing sediments and pollutants into the receiving Falling Creek reaches downstream. Heavy equipment operated from or within the footprint of the former Dam during dam removal operations, thereby minimizing the impact to the adjacent intact forest and wetland soil. Dam removal began with the dewatering (lowering) of the pond in the fall of 2005, followed by the clearing of trees and small bushes from the former earthen dam in February 2006. Excavation activities continued for approximately two weeks until dam removal was complete in mid - March 2006. PBS &J initiated beaver management and minor grading activities on the former Dam location during Year 4 monitoring. Beaver management was performed by the USDA wildlife service, and grading was then performed in order to remove the existing beaver dam and further lower the elevation of the former Dam footprint. Once grading activities were complete, an approximate 2 -acre area was replanted. Monitoring Plan Monitoring activities began in March 2006 (Year 1), and were performed for five years. Project success is based on a comparison of post removal monitoring data collected from 2006 -2010 to reference sites as well as biological baseline values collected in September 2004. Primary success criteria of the project include: 1) the successful classification of restored/enhanced stream reaches as functioning systems, 2) channel stability indicative of a stable stream system, 3) development of characteristic lotic aquatic communities, 4) establishment of wetland hydrology (as defined in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers [USACE] Wetlands Delineation Manual) within the former pond footprint, and 5) vegetative success of 320 stems /acre after the third year of monitoring and 260 stems /acre after the fifth and final year of monitoring. The following monitoring report describes the results of the final year of monitoring activities completed during (20 10) Year 5 monitoring. Year 5 Monitoring Results (2010) Stream Assessment Following five years of passive stream restoration on the Site, Falling Creek now contains braided, anastomosed, bifurcated, and single- threaded channels characteristic of the area. Restored and enhanced EEP Project No. D04020 -2 McDonalds Pond Restoration Site stream segments across the Site have stream pattern, profile, and dimension similar to that of reference reaches. In addition, stream banks have stabilized with native planted and volunteer vegetation. Aquatic community assemblages within the former pond have maintained characteristics of a natural lotic system. Fifty percent (50 %) of the macroinvertebrate samples taken in October 2010 (Year 5) from restored segments of Falling Creek (within the former pond) consisted of macroinvertebrate genera predominantly found in lotic systems. Genera predominantly found in lentic systems represented only five percent (5 %) of species collected within the former pond from the Year 5 samples. A comparison of aquatic community assemblages from 2006 -2010 indicates the successful development of a characteristic lotic aquatic community. North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) Habitat Assessment Forms (HAFs) were completed at multiple locations along the restored and enhanced segments of Falling Creek. The HAF scores quantitatively increased in each of the five monitoring years and indicate that the restored and enhanced stream segments contain in- stream habitat characteristic of reference reaches. Wetland Vegetation Assessment Vegetation monitoring was performed based on the Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) Levels 1 and 2 at eight (8) 10 x 10 meter plots. Based on Year 5 monitoring, the average count of surviving planted species is 491 stems per acre, which exceeds the established success criteria of 260 stems /acre. If volunteer species are included, the total survival increases to 4,467 stems per acre. Vegetation success criteria were met in each of the five monitoring years indicating the establishment of an appropriate vegetative community. Wetland Hydrology Assessment All four groundwater gauges (Gauges 1 -4) located on -Site have registered water levels within the upper 12 inches of the soil surface for at least 28 consecutive days (Richmond County, NRCS) or 12.5 percent (12.5 %) of the growing season. With the exception of 2009 (gauge 3 malfunction), all groundwater gauges on the Site achieved success criteria within each of the five monitoring years indicating the establishment of wetland hydrology in the former pond footprint. Summary Following the fifth year of monitoring, restored streams within the former pond have developed stable, lotic conditions typical of reference systems. Pattern, profile, and dimension data obtained from channel surveys indicate that stream geomorphology continues to shift toward that of reference reaches. Groundwater gauge data within the former pond indicates restored wetland hydrology and closely resembles that of the upstream reference gauge. Vegetation surveys support the establishment of a Streamhead Pocosin /Atlantic White Cedar forest community with thriving planted and volunteer species. Stream, wetland vegetation, and wetland hydrology success criteria were met in all monitoring years (2006- 2010). All primary project goals and objectives have been met or exceeded for this project.

As a part of this effort, International Paper (IP) was selected to complete the McDonalds Pond Restoration Project located in Richmond County. The McDonalds Pond Restoration Site (`hereafter referred to as the "Site ") is located approximately two (2) miles northeast of the town of Hamlet and three (3) miles east of the town of Rockingham between NC Route 1 and NC Route 177 (Figure 1, Appendix A). - 1.2 Restoration Structure and Objectives Falling Creek, the major drainage feature on -Site, was previously impounded by the McDonalds Pond Dam (Dam), constructed over 70 years ago. Approximately 3,700 linear feet of Falling Creek and tributaries were impacted by the construction of the Dam including streams contained within the pond footprint, as well as stream sections located both up and downstream of the pond. In addition, approximately 17.7 acres of riverine wetland were inundated with the construction of the Dam. Approximately 4.2 acres of the floodplain immediately upstream of the pond were impacted by the "backwater effect" (the backing -up of water), creating marsh wetlands with saturated conditions unsuitable for historic wetland communities. An eroded pond outfall channel located at the northern extent of the Dam drained adjacent wetlands and redirected historic flows away from the Falling Creek floodplain. Stream restoration efforts were achieved through the removal of the Dam resulting in the restoration of 2,969 linear feet of stream. The former Dam was excavated to the approximate level of the pre- existing valley contours, allowing the stream unrestricted flow through the Site. Stream restoration efforts were designed to utilize passive stream channel restoration processes, allowing the channel to reestablish naturally following the removal of the Dam. Stream enhancement (Level I) was achieved through the removal of the Dam and the filling of the northern outfall channel, which returned the historic hydrologic characteristics (stream volume and velocity) to 770 feet of impacted stream channel downstream of the former Dam. Riverine wetland restoration was accomplished within the former 17.7 acre pond footprint through the excavation of the Dam and the establishment of native Streamhead Pocosin and Atlantic White Cedar forest communities. Additionally, the Site includes the preservation of 5,800 linear feet of stream, 77.8 acres of wetland, and 25.6 acres of upland/wetland ecotone buffer. 1.3 Project Objectives The primary project goals include 1) the restoration of a stable, meandering stream channel through the areas impacted by the Dam, 2) the restoration of historic lotic aquatic communities that represent the Site's natural range in variation, 3) the restoration of historic wetland conditions within the pond footprint, and 4) the restoration of natural wetland plant communities within their historic locations. Additional potential benefits of the project include the restoration of wildlife functions associated with a riparian corridor and stable stream and the enhancement of water quality function in the on -Site, upstream, and downstream segments of Falling Creek and tributaries. EEP Project No. D04020 -2 McDonalds Pond Restoration Site The specific goals of this project are to: • Restore approximately 2,969 linear feet of historic stream course, flow volumes, and patterns through the marsh wetlands, McDonalds Pond footprint, and immediately downstream of the existing dam. • Enhance an additional approximate 770 linear feet of Falling Creek downstream of the restored stream channel extending into the gas line easement (Figure 2, Appendix A) • Protect the headwaters of Falling Creek that are located within the Site through preservation of approximately 5,800 linear feet of Falling Creek and associated tributaries. • Restore approximately 17.7 acres of forested riverine wetlands within the McDonalds Pond footprint. • Enhance 4.2 acres of forested riverine wetlands within the marsh wetlands located at the head of McDonalds Pond. • Preserve 77.8 acres of forested riverine wetlands adjacent to Falling Creek and associated tributaries. • Restore and enhance habitat for vegetation and wildlife species, characteristic of Streamhead Pocosin and Atlantic White Cedar Forest (Schafale and Weakley 1990). • Enhance the function and value of the Falling Creek wetland community through the preservation of 25.6 acres of buffer along the Falling Creek stream/wetland complex.

Stream monitoring activities continued at two (2) stream reaches that were established in April 2006. Each monitoring reach is approximately 150 feet in length and is comprised of one (1) stream cross - section where stream profile and dimension are monitored. Another 575 feet of stream channel profile and eight (8) cross - sections were added to the Site monitoring activities in October 2006 (Figure 2, Appendix A). Wetland vegetation monitoring activities were conducted in September 2010 and consist of an inventory of planted and volunteer species within eight (8) plots located throughout the former pond (Figure 4, Appendix A). Wetland hydrology monitoring activities include groundwater gauge monitoring conducted throughout the growing season (March 27 - November 5) (NRCS 1999) at four (4) gauges located within the former pond (Figure 5, Appendix A). 2.1 Stream Assessment 2.1.1 Stream Channel Morphology Stream channel cross - sectional surveys were performed at ten (10) on -site monitoring locations in September 2010 [XSI -8 and XSR2 -31 (Figure 2, Appendix 2). Bankfull channel geometry for surveyed cross - sections are presented in Tables 5, 6, 6a, and 6b. Cross - section parameters were not generated for XS2, XS7, or XS8 where stream braiding has resulted in multiple active channels. Some parameters including width/depth ratio, entrenchment ratio, wetted perimeter, and hydraulic radius were generated for riffles only. Stream pattern parameters including channel beltwidth, radius of curvature, meander wavelength, and meander width ratio were also re- evaluated during Year 5 monitoring. Cross - section plots are represented in Figures 131-1310 in Appendix B. Bankfull elevations depicted in cross - section plots were adjusted as needed. In general, bankfull channel parameters indicate minor change compared to conditions assessed during Year 4 monitoring. Scouring and transportation of bank and bed material was detected at some monitoring cross - sections where restored channels continue to migrate toward reference conditions. Soil subsidence has diminished as herbaceous and woody vegetation further stabilize the soil and begin to provide shading to the developing forest floor. Stream longitudinal profile was surveyed for approximately 900 feet within the restored channel, including the section of stream between on -Site Reach 3 and on -Site Reach 2 (Figure 2, Appendix A). Longitudinal profile data for this portion of the stream is plotted along with previous years conditions in Figure B -11, Appendix B. The Site's natural low gradient and the large amount of coarse woody debris present within the channel has produced numerous depositional features (traverse and diagonal bars) scattered among scour pools of varying sizes. As a result, longitudinal profile parameters were not generated for the stream due to the complexity and irregularity of the channel bed. The stream channel substrate is naturally comprised of more than 90 percent (90 %) sand throughout the Site. As a result, substrate sampling was not conducted at the cross - sections and is not included with the summarized cross - sectional parameters in Tables 5 -6b.

During Year 4 monitoring, PBS &J initiated beaver management and minor grading activities on the former Dam location. Grading efforts have successfully reduced the opportunity for beavers to re- construct dams on -Site and no further beaver activity has been observed. 2.1.3 Aquatic Communities Benthic macroinvertebrates were sampled within Falling Creek during Year 5 monitoring in late September 2010. Aquatic community data, located in Appendix C, are based on laboratory identifications of benthic macroinvertebrate taxa by Pennington and Associates, Inc., a NCDWQ- certified lab. A temporal comparison between collected benthic habitat and their preferences are provided in Graph 1. Fifty percent (50 %) of the macroinvertebrate ;samples collected during Year 5 monitoring from restored segments of Falling Creek (within the former pond) consisted of macroinvertebrate genera predominantly found in lotic systems. Genera found in both lotic and lentic systems (with a preference for lotic) increased three percent within Falling Creek, while genera favoring lentic and lotic (with a preference for lentic) decreased. Genera predominantly found in lentic systems made up only five percent of taxa collected from Falling Creek. Overall, the Year 5 data indicates an aquatic community assemblage that continues to transition from lentic to lotic as favorable habitat increases within Falling Creek.

Table 7 summarizes the mean values for all these metrics from benthic macroinvertebrates collected within Falling Creek prior to dam removal and all subsequent monitoring years. EEP Project No. D04020 -2 McDonalds Pond Restoration Site 12 r- v� v1 Data from 2006 -2007 monitoring suggests that there may have been an initial colonization spike of opportunistic species during the early successional stages of stream development. While the total number of organisms collected in 2006 has not been :surpassed in subsequent monitoring years, the Year 5 data represents the lowest biotic index recorded during project monitoring. A decrease (improvement) in the biotic index indicates a macroinvertebrate community less tolerant of organic wastes (analogous to improved water quality). Compared to baseline (2005) values, Year 5 summary data represents a continued progression towards a restored aquatic community composition. 2.1.4 Habitat Assessment North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) Habitat Assessment Forms (HAFs) were completed at each cross - section location across the Site (Appendix D). Minor improvements in HAF scores were observed during Year 5 monitoring. This improvement is largely due to the favorable prevalence of in- stream habitat including sticks, snags, logs, leafpacks, and macrophytic vegetation as well as an increase in stream shading. The HAF mean score from restored and enhanced stream segments quantitatively increased in each of the five monitoring years; The HAF scores are summarized in Table 8. Table 8.

Drawings were updated in the field through visual observation and habitat composition was transcribed onto each drawing by hand. Drawings were digitized using GIS technology to determine rough estimates of habitat type representation. Representative habitat includes adjacent stream bank trees, root mats/balls, stumps, coarse woody debris, and undercut banks. Figure 3 (Appendix A) depicts the Year 5 stream habitat composition. Compared to previous monitoring years, Reaches 2 and 3 show both an increase in habitat quantity, and habitat type, particularly with regards to in stream woody debris. Reaches 2 and 3 still contain an abundance of macrophytic vegetation compared to the reference reaches (1 and 4). The macrophytic vegetation is expected to diminish as the riparian community continues developing, and shading increases. During Year 5 benthic macroinvertebrate monitoring, an increase in the number of collectors (both gathering and filtering) and scrapers was observed. The increased abundance of collectors and scrapers suggests a possible increase in their available food source, macrophytes and fine particle organic matter respectively. This may be attributed to an increase in riparian litterfall and organic input from the surrounding floodplain. Year 5 monitoring also indicates a decrease in the number of predators and shredders, although predators still make up the largest relative abundance. The following graph displays functional feeding group composition following dam removal at the Site. Graph 2.

Vegetation Assessment Eight (8) 10 x 10 meter plots (VP 2 -7 and' VP 9 -10) were sampled in accordance with the Carolina Vegetation Survey Protocol (Figure 4, Appendix A). Vegetation plots 9 and 10 were installed last year following the remedial grading activities performed on the footprint of the former dam. Success criteria for vegetation requires that at least 320 stems per acre must survive after the completion of the third growing season. The required survival criterion will decrease by 10 percent per year after the third year of vegetation monitoring (i.e. for an expected 260 stems per acre for Year 5). The Site is currently meeting the established success criteria for vegetation based on the survival of the planted species with an average density of 491 stems per acre. Including all volunteer species raises the vegetation survival within the Site to 4,467 stems per acre. Both plots 9 and 10 are exceeding the required survival criterion with an average density of 607 stems per acre and 647 stems per acre respectively (average density of 627 stems per acre). As discussed with EEP, if vegetation success of remedial planted stems within plots 9 and 10 are on target at the end of Year 5, then no additional vegetative monitoring will be required An inventory of planted stems within plots 2 -7 are given in Table 9, and an inventory of planted stems within new plots 9 -10 are given in Table 9a. The Site met the density requirement for success in all monitoring years. A tally of volunteer woody species is listed in Table 9b. Year 5 photographs of vegetation plots are provided in Appendix E.

EEP Project No. D04020 -2 McDonalds Pond Restoration Site 16 v 2.2.2 Groundwater Hydrology Success criteria for groundwater hydrology on the Site requires that wetland mitigation areas be inundated or saturated (within 12 inches of the surface) �by surface or groundwater for at least 28 consecutive days (Richmond County, NRCS) or 12.5 percent of the growing season (March 27 - November 5). Groundwater gauge locations (Gauges 1- 4) are depicted in Figure 5 (Appendix A). Groundwater gauge hydrographs are plotted on Figure F -1 in (Appendix F). All four groundwater gauges located on -Site are currently meeting the wetland hydrologic success criteria. Gauge 3 likely recorded groundwater within 12 inches of the surface longer than the reported 75 days, but gauge malfunction resulted in data loss from July 20 through September 2. With the exception of 2009 (gauge 3 malfunction), all groundwater gauges on the Site achieved success criteria within each of the last five monitoring years indicating the establishment of wetland hydrology in the former pond footprint.

The segment which is assessed should represent average stream conditions To perform a proper habitat evaluation the observer needs to get into the stream To complete the form, select the description which best fits the observed habitats and then circle the score. If the observed habitat falls in between two descriptions, select an intermediate score A final habitat score is determined by adding the results from the different metrics. Stream —Location/road.
