section (see cross - section overlays below) The one area of eros ion/floodp lain scour that does exist on site is downstream of a crossing at station 4 +55 — 5 +60 on reach 1 Two areas lack vegetative growth on the floodplain because of poor soil conditions located at stations 10 +60 — 11+50 and 12 +15 - 13 +00 on reach 1, although the bank heights are very low and these will likely vegetate with time Collectively this represents 5 % of the project footage indicating that 95% of the reach bank footage is stable 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 have also colonized parts of the site on 2 occasions and have decolonized the site recently in 2012 These factors in combination with potential sediment inputs above the project as noted by the monitoring firm seems to have resulted in fining of the bed substrate distributions and has muted bedform, which is observable in the tributary profile and substrate measurements However, this hasn't resulted in any 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 It should also be noted that according to the monitoring contractor the precipitous fining described in the 2011 substrate data may be related to a change in monitoring personnel material and inconsistencies in the monitoring experience /methodology Except for localized low- growth areas, riparian zones were vegetating as expected and providing adequate soil stabilization and protection All vegetative plots, except for plot 1, met the vegetative success criteria 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 within the Site were dredged, straightened, and filled for conversion into agriculturally developed land These activities are thought to have impacted stream channel stability, therefore, producing an incised, eroded stream and degraded water quality OTC The primary goal for the site included • Improve water quality by reducing erosion through reconnection of the stream with a flood prone area, riparian buffer filtering, and reconfiguring the stream to better attenuate flow velocities Secondary Site restoration goals included • Increased stream biology through enhancement activities • Protection of functional areas via preservation The project goals were achieved by incorporating the following objectives Priority II stream restoration (including all attendant benefits outlined in Rosgen 1996) via excavation of approximately 1,767 linear feet (If) of a designed E/C -type stream of the main Camp Branch channel on new location (creating 1810 It), including adjacent floodplam excavation to achieve an entrenchment ratio characteristic of E/C -type streams 2 Priority I stream restoration (including all attendant benefits outlined in Rosgen 1996) of approximately 403 If and Priority II restoration of approximately 143 if of a designed E/C -type stream of a unnamed tributary (UT) to Camp Branch, including floodplain excavation along the UT upstream of Camp Branch to achieve a stable confluence 3 Re- establishment of the characteristic, pre -

sustainability. Stream related inefficiencies discussed earlier appear to be attributed to watershed contribution and not instability within restored reaches. Regarding vegetation, the Site has exhibited acceptable coverage, survivability and diversity that coincide with similar mitigation projects. Areas of vegetative inefficiencies appear to be attributed to a lack of establishment in areas of mineral soil dominance, as is common during restoration construction.
