beaver and 18 dams removed as part of 5 separate control
efforts between 2009 and 2012.

Project Settina and Background Summary
The project involved the rehabilitation of approximately 4100 feet of Hatchet's Grove and a smaller tributary ( Meadowview creek), both of which are tributaries to Crabtree Creek in Wake
County. General location and setting information can.be found in the table above. The project channels were originally straightened and dredged for agricultural purposes through the early
1990s and the surrounding land use was subsequently converted to a golf course and condominium/apartment complexes as part of the Prestonwood development. The existing channel was
subject to multiple direct and indirect stressors related to these land uses to include: maintenance of golf course turf to the top of bank; direct piping of stormwater outfalls; numerous asphalt
paths; 6 bridge crossings; multiple utilities; fairway under- drains; and significant watershed changes related to development. The combination of prior land uses resulted in a straightened F
channel that was incised (BHR 1.5 -2.6; mean 1.9) and migrating laterally, generating frequent bank erosion with many areas exhibiting a very high potential for high rates of erosion (see pre-
existing photos below). The project involved rehabilitation of a pattern dimension and profile using natural channel design techniques with an E channel design target and a priority II approach
to provide improved bankfull floodplain connection. Structures were employed for grade control, habitat and bank protection as well. In addition a fairway swale and drainage system was
installed in the alignment of the existing channel to intercept and collect fairway runoff from the south side of the channel, which drains to a large golf course detention/irrigation pond located at
the bottom of the project to intercept nutrients and other pollutants that would otherwise drain directly to the project channel. The combination of BMPs employed was calculated/projected to
have reduced TN inputs by 35% compared to pre - existing drainage practices/patterns.
The site was subject to 6 storm events in the first 6 months that produced discharges that met or exceeded bankfull, 3 of which produced flow elevations 2 -3 feet above the bankfull bench (see
photo below in hydrology section). Much of this was in association with the remnants of tropical storms Frances, Gaston, Ivan, and Irene. This generated some bank erosion, but was estimated
to affect 1 -2 %. Over the following 2 years additional bank erosion occurred totaling —12% ( -950 feet) of the project bank footage, which according to the monitoring firm steadily stabilized
thereafter with the continued development of site vegetation to approximately —8.5% (-650 feet) by 2012. Approximately half of this represents former occurrences of erosion that have
demonstrated very little change in response to subsequent bankfull events indicating these former adjustments have arrested in these areas with uncertainty as to whether the remaining half(-300
feet) has arrested/slowed. The design cross - sectional area was 55 SF but the As -built mean was reported at approximately 43 SF, so the channel may have been somewhat undersized, especially
given the urban nature of the watershed. Several other factors recognized today as potential contributors to some of the observed adjustments include: structure placement downstream of
meander bends increasing in- channel storage capacity (i.e., pools in the upstream section of riffles/runs); E channel design targets without expansive floodplains and advanced woody vegetation;
Priority 2 floodplains and sub - soils; meandering floodplains; ponds in the proposed alignment (i.e., potential for fine legacy sediments); and watershed changes. The placement of cross -vanes
downstream of meanders was typical of the time of the project design, but limited corridor widths often made for short riffles and placement of full cross -vanes at the very bottom of the
meanders has contributed to a greater extent of pool habitat in the profile. The 295 foot Meadowview tributary systemically downcut and is largely in a double sewer easement and is not being
sought for credit.
Even with the enlargement of the cross - section in areas with either erosion or structure pool scour, this has not significantly impacted floodplain access. Six overbank events have been
documented from 2005 to March 2012. This is a minimum estimate given the methodology of a simple crest gauge and use of flood debris and deposition indicators. It is highly likely other
events occurred that were masked by larger, more recent events in between observation intervals. Moreover, this count does not include the 6 events noted by the designer in the 6 months
immediately after construction, although the majority of these were tropical remnants and were larger events with larger return intervals. An event recorded in 2012 was captured with a
continuous gauge and was associated with a series of — 0.5 inch rain events spread out over a 72 hour period totaling —1.5 inches. This resulted in a significant flood event, where sustained flood
Page 2 of 18

waters approximately 0.5 feet deep were observed to the outer edge of the floodplain in most locations. Although the intensity of these 3 events was about 1 inch per hour, the antecedent rain to
this series of events was below normal, so while this event was of some significance it was by no means rare and yet resulted in the flooding observed (see photos in hydro section below).
Additionally, the presence of flood sediment deposition and evidence of natural levee construction is abundant. The latter has also contributed to enlargement of the cross- section in some areas.
The aforementioned 10 -12% bank erosion that developed earlier in the projects history was scattered over the projects extent. The monitoring reports in the years subsequent to the onset of these
erosion areas indicated a trend of re- stabilization with the onset of vegetation. To help determine the degree to which the erosional areas had arrested, EEP installed 22 bank pins in areas where
previous erosion had occurred. These were installed in fall of 2011 and these were examined after the aforementioned flood event in March 2012, where 1 pin showed significant exposure (0.8
feet), 2 demonstrated minor erosion (0.1 feet) and 2 could not to relocated, but this was likely due to the a loss of the marking tape for their location in the flood event given the lack of any
obvious fresh erosion in the vicinity. The remaining pins demonstrated no exposure in the flood event supporting the prior observations that the majority of the erosional areas sampled represent
prior adjustments that have since arrested. So, approximately 8.5% (-650 feet) of the project banks currently exhibit some level of erosion with about 300 feet (341/6) of that appearing to have
arrested due to a lack of movement when exposed to more recent bankfull events with the other half potentially still active.
The vegetation density has far exceeded regulatory requirements with all plots meeting the 320 stem per acre requirement with an average of 647 stems and 985 stems per acre for planted and
total counts, respectively. The species count ranged from 2 -8 across the plots. Invasives presence on the site is minimal. Beaver have taken a fair number of trees over the projects history,
particularly in the lower half of the project and have been removed several times over the last 4 years. Wooded densities are generally good site wide, but were low in some areas and were
supplemented with 5 -10 gallon containerized material that included soil amendments on 2 occasions during the periods indicated in the table above. Some areas while they possess adequate
density have exhibited slower growth rates due to the PH subsoils.
Goals and Objectives
1. Construct a stream channel with the appropriate cross - section, pattern and profile that is stable and will not aggrade or degrade
2. Improve and create bed form diversity (riffles, runs, pools and glides)
3. Construct a floodplain ( bankfull bench) that is accessible at the proposed bankfull channel elevation (I'll restoration)
4. Ensure channel and stream bank stabilization by integrating grade control structures, root wads, and native vegetation in conjunction with the eradication of modification of
current grounds maintenance practices
5. Establish a native forested riparian plant community within a minimum of 30 feet, when possible, from the edge of the restored reach.
6. Integrate existing golf course uses with the proposed restoration plan providing aesthetic and education values.
Success Criteria
The success criteria specified in the mitigation plan called for the following:
Stream stability
Vegetation densities of 320 stems per acre at year 5.

EEP Recommendation and Conclusion
Although the project mainstem has exhibited adjustments in the years immediately following
construction the proportion of these areas considered to be of concern has decreased because
they have demonstrated little change over the last few years or have improved with onset and
development of vegetation. However, some areas appear to remain active at this time. The
vegetation required a greater than average timeframe to attain some size due to the PII soil
conditions and supplements were necessary to enhance the continued development the buffer.
Many of the prior erosional areas still have bank angles and poor vegetative cover on the bank
face, but the vegetation on the floodplain above them has gained size and a continued trend of
stabilization is expected. Although the project pre -dated the 2003 guidelines, the playover and
utility areas were adjusted as per table 1 in response to closeout precedents in similar settings.
These adjustments combined with the reduction for the tributary reduces the credit yield by 17 %.
EEP seeks regulatory closure with the adjustments noted in table 1 and figure 1.
Contingencies
The sewer maintenance corridor at the top of the project (western end of figure 1) was recently
maintained along a path outside of the corridor delineated in the As -built for these utilities.
This particular sewer leg had not been maintained previously to this extent and in this way.
The current alignment has brought it closer to the mainstem than the As- builts indicate and
EEP is investigating whether the corridor depicted on the As -built was in error or whether the
utility maintenance path is incorrect.

APPENDIX A - Watershed Planning Summary
289 — Prestonwood Golf Course Site
The Prestonwood Golf Course Site project is located in HUC 03020201080010, the Upper
Crabtree Creek watershed that was originally designated as a Targeted Local Watershed (TLW)
in the 2002 Neuse RBRP (NCEEP, 2002) and continues this designation in the 2010 Neuse
RBRP (NCEEP, 2010). At nearly 16 %, this watershed has one of the highest imperviousness
percentages in the upper Neuse basin. The 2010 RBRP most highly recommends stormwater
management projects and riparian buffer restoration to improve water quality conditions here.
The Prestonwood Golf Course project restores a significant amount of riparian buffer and
restores stream pattern to help reduce flow energy, thereby reducing stormwater impacts to the
watershed. EEP has no additional viable projects in this TLW.
According to the 2009 Neuse River Basinwide Water Quality Plan (NCDWQ, 2009), during the
2005 benthic macroinvertebrate community sampling 0.35 miles downstream of the
Prestonwood project site on the mainstem of Crabtree Creek (at NC 54), "stream banks were
moderately eroded and the stream was turbid ". Also, the benthic community indicated
"continued water quality degradation" as the taxa richness and EPT richness declined 50% since
the previous sampling in 2000. A review of the historical aerial imagery also revealed that most
of the 3.8 square mile drainage upstream of the project site was developed in the period between
1998 and 2002, suggesting the major effects of impervious surfaces began occurring just before
or during project construction and monitoring. This project restores buffer function for the
length of the stream restoration and reduces nutrient and sediment inputs via increased
infiltration. These functional improvements are beneficial to the benthic community and support
the TLW goals.
