Miscommunication between EEP, and WRC / NCDOT regarding
monitoring party resulted in a delayed monitoring schedule. MY1
should have been 2006, but was delayed until 2009 as a result.

Project Setting and Background Summary
The project involved the enhancement of 783 feet of Goose Creek in Mecklenburg county Southeast of Charlotte, near Mint Hill and was designed and built by the WRC for NCDOT for
mitigation in association with I -485. The watershed in Mecklenburg and Union Counties includes two areas of habitat for the federally endangered Carolina Heelsplitter. See Appendix 1 for
watershed information. The work involved localized bank grading for a high proportion of eroding banks for which the vegetation was providing very limited stability (see pre and As -built
photos below) and installation of habitat structures at the locations indicated in the table in figure 1. Part of the site protection is through ownership in fee by NCDOT and part exists as an
easement. See Appendix B and the 404 permit in Appendix C.
Due to a miscommunication between EEP and WRC monitoring was delayed and did not begin until 2009, which means there have been 6 elapsed years, but with three years of monitoring. The
majority of the site is exhibiting stability (see cross sections and profile below) and is well forested, with the exception of an encroachment path (see contingencies item below). it appears Some
bank erosion has developed in association with 2 structures and one or 2 other areas which totals about 94 feet (6.5% of the project bank footage) according to the 2012 monitoring report. Other
areas as indicated by the measurements appear stable.
The vegetation is dense with a complete canopy over the project channel. The vegetation plots total native woody stems ranging from —2400 to a little over 4000 stems per acre with the plots
ranging between 5 and 22 native species and 25 total native species across all plots. Privet and autumn olive are common in the forested areas surrounding the project buffer and have become
common within the project buffer as well, but the native stems are large, dense and diverse in most areas.
Goals and Obiectives
1. Decrease streambank erosion by converting an unstable existing G4/F4 to a stable F4 /C4
2. Create a more stable floodplain ata lower elevation
3. Improve instream aquatic habitat
Success Criteria
Success criteria were not explicitly specified in the mitigation plan, but referenced the 2003 guidelines — Once last confirmation that this is true
1. Stream stability
2. Vegetation densities of > 260 stems per acre at year 5
3. 2 over bank events in different years

EEP Recommendation and Conclusion
Although there are only 3 years of monitoring data, 6 years have elapsed since construction.
This factor combined with the enhancement nature of the project, intensive monitoring for an
enhancement project, small size, 3:1 mitigation ratio, mature forested buffer, and general
stability, EEP seeks regulatory closure in keeping with the information in table 1 above with
additional consideration of the second contingency below. The site has been marked and signed
including additional marking in prior encroachment areas.
Contingencies
- As part of the project, risers were installed on stream left (eastern side) as part of an
interagency initiative to increase residence time of ditch flow on the floodplain and there is a
mowed path about 15 feet wide in between these features and Goose Creek thought to be
associated with some form of maintenance access within a public drainageway that surrounds
the channel, but this is now understood to be an encroachment that is currently being remedied.
Given the mature canopy that exists, which surrounds this path, it is expected to re- vegetate
with time. There is also one strip where the understory has been maintained by the landowner
on the Northwest corner of the property. The canopy is intact, but the understory was
maintained and additional signage and posting has been added.
- Based on all fee simple and conservation parcels EEP was able to identify that make -up the
project boundary it appears that the lower 65 feet (southwest corner of figure 1) of the project
does not have an easement on stream right. At the time of this report EEP was working to
identify any missing associated piece, but if it is in fact absent, this footage may need to be
removed as part of final closeout accounting. It This issue will be discussed at the closeout
presentation.

APPENDIX A - Watershed Planning Summary
92709- Goose Creek (Greene Site)
The Goose Creek Greene project is located within the Goose and Crooked Creeks
Local Watershed Plan (LWP) area The project site is located in Mecklenburg
County, North Carolmajust south of the Town of Mint Hill The site drains
approximately 3 15 square miles to the Rocky River, within the Southern Outer
Piedmont Physiographic Region of the Yadkin River Basin (3040105 CU and
03040105030020 HUC) The project consisted of bank stabilization and habitat
enhancement along 783 linear feet of Goose Creek In addition to the Greene
project site there is one CWMTF and one Section 319 project within this
watershed
The Goose Creek watershed is approximately 42 square miles and spans into both
Mecklenburg and Union Counties There is significant development pressure in the
upper portions of this watershed while much of the lower portion remains in
agriculture This watershed is the only watershed in North Carolina which contains
impaired stream reaches and an existing population of a federally listed
endangered species the Carolina heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorata) Goose Creek
and Duck Creek (a tributary to Goose Creek) are impaired for ecological/biological
integrity and bacteria Goose Creek is also impaired for turbidity based on the draft
2012 303(d) list (NCDWQ 2012) Goose Creek also supports sensitive mussel
species other than the Carolina heelsplitter including Carolina creekshell (Villosa
vaughaniana), Eastern creekshell (Villosa delumbris) Atlantic pigtoe (Fusconaia
masons) Creeper (Strophitus undulates), and Notched rainbow (Villosa constricta)
Through the development of this LWP it was determined that a variety of stressors
impact the health of the stream systems within this watershed but sediment and
increased peak flow /runoff volumes have been identified as the most pervasive
One of the overarching goals of the LWP is to restore, protect and enhance
watershed functions such as hydrology, water quality and aquatic and terrestrial
habitat The enhancement of the 783 linear feet of Goose Creek through grading
banks planting a riparian buffer and reducing bank erosion is consistent with this
goal by enhancing the riparian zone adjacent to the stream with native forest
species restoring degraded in- stream habitat via in- stream structures and
stabilizing streambanks and riparian areas Enhancement of this stream will help to
improve streambank stability water quality and increase local vegetative
biodiversity Additionally, this project site is located in the headwater portion of
the watershed which continues to rapidly urbanize and is upstream of an area
designated as Critical Habitat for the endangered Carolina heelsplitter
