section (see cross section data) The site is characterized by small, low energy channels that were subject to intense drought conditions during the first year, which like many other small streams in the piedmont during this time resulted in vegetation growth in the channel in some areas Beaver colonized Dula Thoroughfare and were removed from Dula Thoroughfare in February 2012 The substrate along this reach was dominated by silt deposition which is likely due to watershed contributions coupled with the beaver dam impoundment However, this has not resulted in widespread bar formation capable of deflecting flows into neighboring banks Assuming any potential upstream sediment sources moderate with time, future storm events will likely evacuate this finer Except for localized low - growth areas which represent less than 5% of the total planted bank length, riparian zones were vegetating as expected and providing adequate soil stabilization and protection The current project average planted stem density is 592 stems /acre Three vegetation plots (12, 14, 15) failed to meet success criteria in 2005, plot 12 was likely affected by the beaver impoundment directly downstream and plots 14 and 15 are likely affected by competition with surrounding Rubus sp All groundwater gauges installed met the established 12 5 % success criteria in monitoring years 1, 2, 3, and 5 In year four, gauges two and three met success criteria and gauge one was saturated for 19 days or 8% of the growing season Goals and Objectives Prior to restoration, the Site was predominantly utilized for row cropping and recreational activities, such as hunting and wildlife viewing Historically, drainage features and wetland areas were dredged, straightened, and filled in to provide land for agricultural purposes These activities are thought to have inhibited stream channel stability and water quality, therefore, producing an incised, eroded stream PC The primary goal for the Site included • Restore functionality to impacted on -site stream reaches and adjacent riverine wetlands Secondary Site restoration goals included • Stream channel and adjacent wetland enhancement and preservation The project goals were achieved by incorporating the following objectives • Aquatic habitat creation via excavation of vernal pools within floodplain cut areas at Dula Thoroughfare • Re- establishment of the characteristic, pre - disturbance Piedmont Bottomland Forest (Schafale and Weakley 1990) community adjacent to restoration reaches using at Dula Thoroughfare • Re- establishment of the characteristic, pre - disturbance Piedmont Bottomland Forest (Schafale and Weakley 1990) community adjacent to restoration reaches using bare at UT to Dula Thoroughfare • Priority II stream restoration via excavation of approximately 2,730 linear feet of a designed E -type stream of DT (Reach 1), including an associated tributary (Reach 2), including adjacent floodplam excavation to achieve and entrenchment ratio characteristic of E -type streams • Creation of approximately 3 1 acres of riverine wetlands (Wetlands 1 and 5) adjacent to DT and UT to DT via floodplain excavation in previously identified hydric soil areas, thereby re- establishing jurisdictional wetland hydrology Preservation of 2 3 acres of riverine wetlands adjacent to DT (Wetland 2) • Level I enhancement of approximately 1,871 linear feet of stream (Reach 4) via backfill of straightened and ditched portions of the existing watercourse, thereby re- establishing characteristic stream dimension and pattern by reintroducing flow into adjacent relic channel areas • Level II enhancement of approximately 480 linear feet of stream (Reach 3) via riparian plantings adjacent to the UT to DT streambanks • Re- vegetation of open areas adjacent to the UT to DT via plantings of characteristic, pre - disturbance community types described by Schafale and Weakley (1990) using bare root seedling plantings • Enhancement of 0 9 acre of riparian wetland adjacent to UT to DT (Wetlands 3 and 4) Dula Thoroughfare Stream and April 2012 Wetland Restoration Closeout Report EEP Project No 65 PC Success Criteria Characteristic Standard Dimension Insignificant change in dimension from as -built measurements or the previous year's monitoring measurements Minor changes in channel dimension are allowed, however, dimension changes should not represent a trend towards instability (e g increased width to depth ratio or decreased width to depth ratio with decreased entrenchment ratio) Profile Little change in longitudinal profile Pattern and Profile Pool /riffle spacing should remain fairly constant Substrate Pools should not be aggradmg and riffles should not scour Substrate Pebble count should trend toward a desired bed material Wetland Hydrology Wetland hydrology success criteria of 12 5% for lower elevation wetland areas and between 5 -12% for upper landscape wetlands Vegetation Vegetative Plots success criteria of 260 stems /acre REACH 6 Tributary to Dula Thoroughfare REACH 2 REACH 7 WETLAND 4 w REACH 4 REACH 3 Dula Thoroughfare REACH 8 REACH 9 WETLAND 3 WETLAND 2 UT to Dula Thoroughfare ALI 0 415 830 1,660 2,490 3,320 Feet" Figure 1: Aerial Map Dula Thoroughfare Stream & Wetland Restoration tern .

sustainability Stream related inefficiencies discussed earlier appear to be attributed to watershed contribution and beaver activity, not design- related instability within restored reaches Watershed contribution of sediment appears to be the primary reason for stream issues such as aggradation and in- stream vegetative growth Regarding riparian vegetation, the Site has exhibited acceptable coverage, survivability and diversity that coincide with similar mitigation projects Areas of vegetative inefficiencies are very minor and are expected to self correct over time EEP recommends site closure as the site is trending towards a sustainable system Contingencies Although the Site is experiencing some unintended characteristics, they do not warrant contingency intervention An attempt to correct inefficiencies would likely result in more disturbance than benefit Dula Thoroughfare Stream and April 2012 Wetland Restoration Closeout Report EEP Project No 65 Cross Section 1: View Upstream (MY 1 -
