EEP Recommendation and Conclusion
The Crowns West Stream Restoration Project has completed 5 years of successful monitoring.
Each parameter for success has been achieved. The EEP recommends that this site be closed
generating 3,835 Stream Mitigation Units (SMU).
Contingencies
The 5t' year monitoring report noted areas of kudzu near the NCDOT right of way. These areas
have been controlled throughout the monitoring period and are now localized to the right of way
area. The areas of kudzu were sprayed in 2011. EEP does not recommend further action be
taken in this area.
Minor repairs we conducted at several localized areas along the stream in February 2012. EEP
did observe these areas prior to repair. Two of those areas were approximately 5 to 10 feet in
stream length. The first of these areas involved hand - repair of a log vane and the adjacent point
bar. The log vane was notched with a chain saw to slightly re- direct low -flow (away from the
adjacent point bar) and minor erosion to the adjacent point bar was repaired with hand work and
bioengineering. The second of these areas involved the installation of a short geolift,
bioengineering, and transplants to repair a small section of eroded bank adjacent to a rootwad.
This repair involved the use of a mini -hoe (minor mechanized equipment) and hand work. The
locations of both of these repairs are shown on Project Area Plan View Map above. The
remaining minor repairs were conducted using hand work only. These repairs involved
scarifying, re- seeding, and re- mulching two small cut slope areas where herbaceous vegetation
had been slow to establish, as well as plugging muskrat holes behind several rootwads with soil,
live stakes, and Juncus plugs. Considering all of the above described repairs localized and very
minor, EEP does not recommend further action be taken in this area. All repairs were conducted
by River Works, Inc. and supervised, inspected, and approved by Baker Engineering. EEP
recommends no further action.
An easement encroachment occurred in early 2011. Baker resolved this issue by re- posting the
easement boundary and replanting age appropriate trees as needed. EEP does not recommend
further action be taken in this area.

APPENDIX A - Watershed Planning Summary
92329 — Crowns West
The Crowns West project is located iu8DC03003000lO\O0lC\the Upper Now River
watershed, and iolisted asu Targeted Local Watershed (]IW)inthe 20 10 White Oak RBRP.
Nearly half of the streams io this watershed lacks adequate functioning riparian buffers. About
44%nfthe land here ix agricultural including 32 permitted livestock operations. The watershed
drains into the lower New River which is 303(d)-listed due to several standards violations
inc|udinQddomybyU'a, copper, 1nte,rwowzux. and high pB(QWOL 2010). B2P has one
additional project adjacent to this site within the TIny.
According mthe White Oak RBRP0N��28�, goals are m "protect and improve water
quality throughout the Basin by reducing sediment and nutrient inputs into streams ... to
protect shellfish harvesting waters ... to support efforts to restore local watersheds in the
White Oak River Basin," and to "support implementation of the NC Coastal Habitat
Protection Plan (CHPP. .^
The project restored 3,83 5 linear feet of stream, including the adjacent riparian buffer on both
sides. Per the TLW goals, the Crowns West project helps to reduce inputs to the stream and
provides habitat for spawning fish species io support of the CByP.
