Project Settine and Background Summary
The UT to Rocky River (Smith Tract) stream restoration is located near Silk Hope, North Carolina. The project
consists of two reaches. Reach 1 has a drainage area of 1.28 square miles. Prior to the restoration, cattle had
access to the stream and were the primary contributing factor to soil loss and bank instability. Enhancement of
this reach involved re- establishing the understory along the left bank of the reach, sloping the banks to a more
stable gradient, and installing a cattle crossing. The drainage area for Reach 2 is 0.21 square miles. The earlier
removal of riparian vegetation for agricultural use, a headcut that had migrated to the northern property
boundary line in conjunction with the installation of an undersized culvert at the downstream end were
principally responsible for the degradation of Reach 2. The Priority 1 restoration involved reconnecting the
stream to its floodplain and adjusting the pattern, profile, and dimension to allow the stream to efficiently
transport its water and sediment load. Vegetation in the riparian zone was restored to reflect historic
Piedmont/Mountain Bottomland Forest species composition and abundance.
Overall, the restoration project appears to have met morphological goals. The enhanced sections of Reach 1 are
stable. Flowing water was present in the Reach 2 channel during the initial 2011 assessment conducted, but
there was no flow during the August 2011 site visits. The lack of flow during the summer and fall assessments
in 2011 corresponds with similar findings in 2007 through 2010. The average live planted woody stem density
(472 live stems per acre) has exceeded the vegetation success criteria (260 live stems per acre in Year 5) by 81
percent. Planted vegetation survival in the two vegetation plots in Reach 1 do not met the success criteria,
however planted stem density along Reach 1 has increased due to a supplemental planting along the left bank of
Reach 1 on March 11, 2011. A total of 145 five - gallon stock material was planted. Three sections along Reach
2 qualify for riparian buffer credit. Planted stem density in these areas exceeds the required 320 stems/acre.
Invasive exotics were treated throughout the conservation easement in the summer of 2010 and 2011.
Goals and OWeetives
The goals of the UT Rocky River Stream Restoration Project are to:
• Improve water quality and reduce erosion through restricting cattle access and improved riparian
buffers;
• Improve aquatic habitat using natural material stabilization structures; and
• Provide aesthetic value, wildlife habitat, and bank stability through restoration/enhancement of the
riparian zone.
The objectives for this restoration are to:
• Exclude cattle from Reach 1;
• Enhance approximately 150 feet of Reach I (E 1 approach) and stabilize an additional 955 feet of the
same reach (E2 approach);
• Reconnect Reach 2 to its floodplain;
• Provide a stable channel for both reaches in terms of pattern, profile, and dimension; and
• Provide a conservation easement and enhance /restore portions of the buffer for both reaches.
Table 1. Success Criteria
Characteristic
Standard
Dimension
Overall, cross - sectional area and form should be stable. Floodplain access
should be maintained.
Pattern and Profile
Abundance and spatial distribution of bedform features should be maintained.
Pattern should show little adjustment.
Substrate
The D50 and D84 particle size diameter percentiles will be monitored to
assure an increase in coarseness in riffles and an increase in fineness in pools.
Vegetation
Planted vegetation success will be based upon the survival of 320 stems per acre at
the end of 3 years of monitoring throughout the restoration. A tolerance of 10%
mortality rate will be acceptable for each of years 4 (288 stems/acre) and 5 (260
stems /acre) for portions of the restoration that do not qualify for riparian buffer
credit. Portions of the site that qualify for riparian buffer credit must have a survival
of 320 stems er acre in Year 5.
Hydrology
A minimum of two bankfull events must be documented within the standard 5 -year
monitoring period. In order for the monitoring to be considered complete, the 2
verification events must occur in separate monitoring ears.

EEP Conclusion and Recommendations
Prior to the restoration, the two reaches of the UT to Rocky River project had unstable banks,
poor sediment transport, and insufficient in- stream and streamside habitat. Data collected over
the last five years indicate that the restoration resulted in a more natural and sustainable stream
channel. The designed riffle -pool structure remained intact and improved the quality and density
of in- stream habitat. The crest gauge and qualitative assessment indicate that Reach 2 has access
to the floodplain and a thriving native riparian buffer. Invasive treatment in 2010 and 2011
addressed minor issues related to Ligustrum spp. and Rosa multiora and should help native
species in the coming years. Supplemental planting in March 2011 enhanced understory stem
density along Reach 1.
The project's assets and their measured performance yield the ratios listed in Table 1. Buffer
credit is only proposed for those areas that were planted as part of the project and that are at least
50 feet wide from the stream edge. EEP considers the project to be functioning well and seeks
regulatory closure on the assets detailed in Table 2.
Contingencies
None.

APPENDIX A — Watershed Planning Summary
402- UT to Rocky River (Smith Tract)
The UT to Rocky River project is located in the Upper and Middle Rocky River Local
Watershed Plan (LWP) area. This drainage system includes northwestern Chatham County along
with portions of Randolph and Alamance counties, an area encompassing three Hydrologic Units
(HUs): upper Rocky River (HU 03030003070010), middle Rocky River (HU 03030003070020)
and Bear Creek (HU 03030003070050). These HUs cover 177 square miles and, aside from
Siler City, are largely rural. In 1998, Poor biological ratings in the middle Rocky River led to
14.4 miles of Tick and Loves creeks being listed as impaired waters by the State's DWQ. These
degraded conditions persist. Urban and agricultural runoff combined with municipal discharges
from Siler City are DWQ's cited stressors in these streams.
The LWP details recommendations on enhanced protections for perennial and intermittent
streams; erosion and sediment control guidance; improved maps for streams and floodplains; and
sites for preservation, restoration and BMP installation.
( httpJ/ www .nceel2.net/services/ImTs/Rocky Cape Fear/CaneFear ROCKY.pdfl
Table I outlines the stressors and recommended actions from the LWP and the management
strategies that are addressed by the UT Rocky River project. In addition to the LWP identified
stressors identified below the UT to Rocky River project also improves the aquatic habitat of
Reach I and 2 with the use of natural material stabilization structures such as root wads, rock
cross -vanes, woody debris, and a riparian buffer. EEP has 5 additional projects within this LWP
area and there is also a 319 Grant Program funded project located within this planning area.

from the Division of Water Quality and therefore do not require payment of an
application fee to the Division of Water Quality Projects that are intended for
compensatory mitigation or compensatory mitigation credit that are intended to
resolve a violation or that are in association with a development project shall require
an application, fee, and written concurrence from the Division of Water Quality
Stream restoration is defined as the process of converting an unstable altered or
degraded stream corridor including adjacent riparian zone and floodprone areas to
its natural or referenced stable conditions considering recent and future watershed
conditions This biological and chemical integrity including transport of water and
sediment is produced by the stream s watershed in order to achieve dynamic
equilibrium The applicant is required to notify the Division in writing with three
copies of detailed restoration plans and specifications before the impact occurs If
the Division determines that the project does not meet the above definition of stream
restoration then the Division shall notify the applicant in writing within 30 days of
receipt of the application In such cases the applicant will be required to submit a
formal application and pay of the appropriate fee and DWQ will be required to
process the application through normal procedures
Stream enhancement projects (as defined and limited below), that do not disturb
wetlands and that are not being conducted for compensatory mitigation or
compensatory mitigation credit and do not include any stream channel relocation do
not require written application to and approval from the Division of Water Quality
and therefore do not require payment of an application fee to the Division of Water
Quality Projects that are intended for compensatory mitigation or compensatory
mitigation credit that are intended to resolve a violation or that are in association
with a development project shall require an application fee and written concurrence
from the Division of Water Quality
4 Stream enhancement is defined as the process of implementing stream
rehabilitation practices in order to improve water quality and/or ecological function
These practices must only be conducted on streams that are not experiencing
severe aggradation or erosion Stream enhancement does not include the relocation
of the stream channel Stream enhancement bank stabilization techniques include
the use of woody vegetation as the primary means of long term stability and soft
techniques such as root wads that encourage the establishment of dense woody
vegetation Stream enhancement techniques do not typically include the use of
stream bank or bed hardening techniques such as rip rap or other rock gabion
block or concrete structures However enhancement activities may also include the
placement of in stream habitat or grade control structures such as cross vanes
hook vanes, and wing deflectors that do not affect the overall dimension pattern or
profile of a stable stream
The applicant is required to notify the Division in writing with three copies of detailed
enhancement plans and specifications before the impact occurs if the stream
enhancement project disturbs greater than 500 feet of stream bank or if the project
proposes the use of in stream structures If the Division determines that the project
does not meet the above definition of stream enhancement then the Division shall
notify the applicant in writing with an explanation within 30 days of receipt of the
notification to require application and payment of the appropriate fee
5 Stream stabilization projects that include the use of any structure or fill in the existing
stream bed or disturb greater that 500 feet of stream bank that are proposed under
this General Certification require written application to and approval from the
Division of Water Quality

WQC #3495
Stream stabilization is defined as the in place stabilization of an eroding stream
bank using measures that consist primarily of hard engineering such as but not
limited to concrete lining rip rap or other rock and gabions The use of hard
engineering will not be considered as stream restoration or enhancement
6 Impacts to any stream length in the Neuse Tar Pamlico or Randleman River Basins
(or any other major river basins with Riparian Area Protection Rules [Buffer Rules] in
effect at the time of application) requires written concurrence for this Certification
from DWQ in accordance with 15A NCAC 213 0200 Activities listed as exempt
from these rules do not need to apply for written concurrence under this
Certification New development activities located in the protected 50 foot wide
riparian areas (whether jurisdictional wetlands or not) within the Neuse and Tar
Pamlico River Basins shall be limited to uses identified within and constructed in
accordance with 15A NCAC 2B 0200 All new development shall be located
designed constructed and maintained to have minimal disturbance to protect water
quality to the maximum extent practicable through the use of best management
practices
7 In order for the above conditions to be valid any plans not requiring written
concurrence to use this Certification must be built according to the plans provided to
the Division of Water Quality If written concurrence is required then the project
must be built and maintained according to the plans approved by the written
concurrence and Certification from the Division of Water Quality
8 Appropriate sediment and erosion control practices which equal or exceed those
outlined in the most recent version of the North Carolina Erosion and Sediment
Control Planning and Design Manual' or "North Carolina Surface Mining Manual
whichever is more appropriate (available from the Division of Land Resources at the
DENR Regional and Central Offices) shall be designed installed and maintained
properly to assure compliance with the appropriate turbidity water quality standard
(50 NTUs in streams and rivers not designated as trout waters by DWQ 25 NTUs in
all saltwater classes and all lakes and reservoirs 10 NTUs in DWQ classified trout
waters)
9 All sediment and erosion control measures placed in wetlands or waters shall be
removed and the original grade restored after the Division of Land Resources or
delegated program has released the project
10 Any rip rap shall be of such a size and density so as not to be able to be carried off
by wave or current action and consist of clean rock or masonry material free of
debris or toxic pollutants Rip rap shall not be installed in the streambed except in
specific areas required for velocity control and to ensure structural integrity of bank
stabilization measures -If rip rap is to be installed within the streambed the amount
and location must be approved in writing by the Division of Land Resources and
Division of Water Quality However rock vanes wing deflectors and similar
structures for grade control and bank protection are acceptable
11 Measures shall be taken to prevent live or fresh concrete from coming into contact
with freshwaters of the state until the concrete has hardened,
12 If an environmental document is required this Certification is not valid until a Finding
of No Significant Impact or Record of Decision is issued by the State
Clearinghouse

WQC #3495
13 Additional site specific conditions may be added to projects which require written
concurrence under this Certification in order to ensure compliance with all applicable
water quality and effluent standards
14 Projects with any impacts to streams wetlands and /or waters that have received a
Notice of Violation from the Division of Land Resources and/or the Division of Water
Quality are required to submit a complete application and receive written
concurrence to use this Certification regardless of the proposed impact amount to
streams wetlands and waters
15 Concurrence from DWQ that this Certification applies to an individual project shall
expire three years from the date of the cover letter from DWQ or the notification sent
to DWQ
16 Standard Erosion and Sediment Control Practices
- Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all
specifications governing the proper design installation and operation and
maintenance of such Best Management Practices
a Erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed
installed operated and maintained in accordance with the most recent version
of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design
Manual
b Design installation operation and maintenance of the sediment and erosion
control measures must be such that they equal or exceed the requirements
specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion
Control Manual The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites
borrow sites and waste pile (spoil) projects including contractor owned or
leased borrow pits associated with the project
c For borrow pit sites the erosion and sediment control measures must be
designed installed operated and maintained in accordance with the most
recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual
d Reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in
accordance with the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act
e Sufficient materials required for stabilization and/or repair of erosion control
measures and stormwater routing and treatment shall be on site at all times
17 No Impacts Beyond those in Application
No waste spoil solids or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands waters or riparian
areas beyond the footprint of the impacts depicted in the Pre construction
Notification All construction activities including the design installation operation
and maintenance of sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices shall
be performed so that no violations of state water quality standards statutes or rules
occur
18 No Sediment and Erosion Control Measures in Wetlands
Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to
the maximum extent practicable If placement of sediment and erosion control
devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall be removed and the
natural grade restored within six months of the date that the Division of Land
Resources or locally delegated program has released the project
