CREEK RESTORATION PROJECT EEP CONTRACT NO D 04010 EBX NEUSE I LLC YEAR 5 MONITORING REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Annual Report details the fifth year monitoring activities on the Cleghorn Creek Stream Restoration Site ( Site') Construction of the Site, including plantmg of trees was initially completed in May 2006 This Annual Monitoring Report presents data on stream geometry stem count data from vegetation monitoring stations, and discusses any observed tendencies relating to stream stability and vegetation survival success Despite routine repairs over the course of the monitoring period to address impacts related to beaver habitation in the project reaches vegetative and geomorphic data collected in October 2010 show this Site meets the hydrologic vegetative, and stream success criteria specified in the Cleghorn Creek Restoration Plan The Cleghorn Creek Site was restored through a contract with EBX Neuse I LLC (EBX) who is in turn, under contract with the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) to develop Stream Mitigation Units from stream restoration efforts conducted on -site Prior to restoration, stream and riparian functions on the Site were impaired as a result of adjacent agricultural land uses, including livestock grazing The streams on the Site were channelized and riparian vegetation had been cleared Cattle were allowed to graze on the banks and had unrestricted access to the channels As built surveys conducted in July 2006 after completion of restoration work indicated that 5 196 linear feet of stream were restored on Cleghorn Creek and Charles Creek, a tributary to Cleghorn Creek producing 5,196 stream mitigation units (SMU) In order to document project success five vegetation monitoring plots eleven permanent cross sections two longitudinal profile surveys and crest gauges were installed and assessed over the last five monitoring periods following the as -built survey The five vegetation monitoring plots 100 square meters (m2) (1 Om x 10m) in size were used to predict survival of the woody vegetation planted on -site These plots were randomly located to represent the different zones within the project site Isolated bank stabilization work at the beginning of the 2007 growing season made it necessary to replant some of the site and re- establish the monitoring plots The Year 5 vegetation monitoring documented an average survivability of 600 stems per acre and a range of 520 to 640 stems per acre To ensure the survival of planted riparian vegetation some maintenance in the riparian buffer was conducted in September 2010 to manage Johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense) and other invasives that were observed inside the restoration area The vegetative monitoring data documents that the Site has met the final vegetation survival criteria of 260 stems per acre after the fifth growing season Cross - section and longitudinal surveys indicate the stream dimension and profile of Cleghorn Creek and Charles Creek have remained stable Several pools most of which are located in meanders on both streams were noticeably deeper in 2009 as compared to previous monitoring events These pools (most notably the pool at Cross Section 4), are now slightly filled in as compared to 2009 and are similar to conditions present prior to Year 4 Monitoring Some localized aggradation observed in both streams can be attributed to the presence of beaver dams The site was periodically inspected between Years 4 and 5 of monitoring and multiple beaver dams on Cleghorn Creek and Charles Creek were removed In- stream structures have remained stable and riparian vegetation survival is good throughout the project site despite continued beaver activity in the project area and mayor flooding during the winter of 2009 2010 At least two intact beaver dams were observed recently on Charles Creek and Cleghorn Creek, while remnants of several other dams were present, primarily on Charles Creek The longitudinal profiles for Cleghorn Creek and Charles Creek illustrate the location of the two dams and the remnants of additional dams between stations 10+00 and 12 +00 on Charles Creek Two isolated sections of unstable bank approximately 15- 25 feet in length were recorded on Cleghorn Creek upstream of the bridge crossing at stations 117 +00 and 121 +50 The source of the bank instability at station 117 +00 is attributed to a point bar that has grown over the course of the monitoring period and is now acting as a mid - channel bar, forcing flow into the right bank, causing bank erosion The source of bank instability along an approximately 15 foot section of the right bank at Station 121 +50 is unknown, however, beaver activity is CLEGHORN CREEK RESTORATION PROJECT EEP CONTRACT NO D

sections will be stabilized by reslopmg the banks and planting a series of tag alders or other woody vegetation Based on the overall stability of both channels no other maintenance or repair work is required at this time Three bankfull events were observed and documented during the As built and Year 1 monitoring periods Both Cleghom Creek and Charles Creek suffered erosion damage during two of these flood events, the first in August 2006 and the second in January 2007 Two rounds of post construction repairs were conducted between November 2006 and April 2007 The third bankfull event occurred on March 2007 while the second round of repairs was in progress No bankfull events were recorded during 2008 Another round of repairs was completed in the fall of 2008 These repairs included bank grading bioengineering matting, seeding and re planting at 11 sites on Cleghom Creek In May of 2009 the bankfull elevation along the last 100 -feet of Charles Creek was lowered to match the bankfull elevation of Cleghorn Creek Grading work performed should prevent Charles Creek from incising at this location Riparian vegetation was temporarily moved while the bank elevation was adjusted and re- planted immediately once grading was completed One or more bankfull events occurred on site during the first two weeks of November 2009 Streamflow conditions were such that a moderate amount of sediment was deposited at or above bankfull elevations along both Cleghom Creek and Charles Creek Debris piles were also a common observance during the Year 4 survey A minor flood event in 2010 was recorded on the crest gauge on Charles Creek Streamflow conditions at the time of Year 5 monitoring were normal and there were no indications of recent flooding on site Overall it appears that the project has achieved the stream stability success criteria specified in the Restoration Plan for the site The monitoring plan and Year 5 monitoring data are discussed in Section 2 0 of this report Vegetation monitoring plots were assessed in October 2010 Stream cross section and profile data presented in this report were also collected in October 2010 CLEGHORN CREEK RESTORATION PROJECT O EEP CONTRACT NO D 04010 EBX NEUSE I LLC YEAR 5 MONITORING REPORT IV 1 J 10 PROJECT BACKGROUND O The Cleghorn Creek restoration project involved the restoration or enhancement of 5,167 linear feet (LF) of channelized stream on Cleghorn Creek and Charles Creek a tributary to Cleghorn Creek Both Cleghorn Creek O and Charles Creek are "blue -line streams as shown on the USGS topographic quadrangle for the site and are considered to be perennial based on field evaluations using NCDWQ stream assessment protocols A total of 24 33 acres of riparian buffer are protected through a permanent conservation easement 1 1 Project Goals and Objectives The goals for the restoration project are as follows Create geomorphically stable conditions on Cleghorn Creek and Charles Creek Restore hydrologic connections between creek and floodplam Improve the water quality of Cleghorn Creek and Charles Creek, O Improve aquatic and terrestrial habitat along the project comdor, and Deliver at least 5 167 LF of stream with restored channel dimension pattern and profile 0 To achieve these goals, design objectives of the project included Restoration or enhancement of channel dimension pattern and profile Improved water quality in the Cleghorn Creek watershed through nutrient removal sediment removal, improved D recreational opportunities streambank stability and erosion control Improved water quantity/flood attenuation through water storage and flood control, reduction in downstream D flooding due to the reconnection of stream and floodplam improved groundwater recharge and improved and restored hydrologic connections and Enhancement of aquatic and terrestrial habitats through improved substrate and instream cover addition of woody debris reduction in water temperature due to shading restoration of terrestrial habitat and improved aesthetics 12 Project Structure ` O Restoration of site hydrology involved the restoration of natural stream functions to impaired reaches on the site The streams in their pre project condition were channelized and, as a result, were highly incised Because of the extent of the incision a Rosgen Priority I restoration which connects the stream to the abandoned floodplam (terrace), would not have been feasible without extending the project reach several thousand feet upstream and significantly altering the channel profile However, there was sufficient space in areas within the project O boundanes to implement a Rosgen Pnonty II restoration by excavating the floodplam and creating a new meandering channel The restored streams were designed as Rosgen `E channels with design dimensions based on those of reference parameters The design for restored sections of the streams involved the construction of new, meandering channels across excavated floodplams This new channel system was constructed through agricultural fields The streams through the site were restored to a stable dimension pattern, and profile Total stream length across the project was increased from approximately 4 641 LF to 5 196 LF The design allows stream flows larger than bankfull flows to a CLEGHORN CREEK RESTORATION PROJECT EEP CONTRACT NO D

REPORT I �l 3 n L 0 li 1 �f i I 14 History and Background The headwaters of Cleghorn Creek are located in the Town of Rutherfordton Land use within the Town area is predominantly residential and commercial The remainder of the Cleghorn Creek watershed and the entire Charles Creek watershed are mostly rural with land uses that include agriculture, timber logging forested area residential development and a golf course near the project area The Site itself has a recent land use history of pasture and general agricultural usage A small equestrian center is located west of the project area The streams on site were historically channelized and stream and riparian functions had been severely impacted as a result of agricultural land use In accordance with the approved restoratio' n plan for the site construction activities began in July 2005 Project activity on Cleghom Creek and Charles Creek consisted of making adjustments to channel dimension pattern, and profile A primary design consideration for this project was to allow stream flows larger than bankf ill to spread onto a floodplam dissipating flow energies and reducing streambank stress The project design involved a priority 11 approach with the construction of new meandering channels across a floodplam that was excavated to the bankf ill elevation of the creeks A modification to channel pattern was made during construction so that the constructed channel would avoid several mature trees and a healthy stand of native river cane The design intended to avoid the trees but channel excavation during construction revealed that the design location would damage the root structure of the trees and likely cause them to fall into the creek The floodplam was not graded around the base of the trees to avoid damage An archaeological site was identified by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on the upstream left floodplam of Charles Creek As a result the original design was modified to avoid impact to the site so that the stream migrates away from the archaeological site rather than along its edge The vertical alignment was also modified to account for the pattern adjustment The final as built stream length for the project is 5,196 LF, producing 5 196 stream mitigation units (SMU) Rootwads, rock and log vanes and other structures were used to protect streambanks and promote habitat diversity in pool sections Streambanks were stabilized using a combination of erosion control matting, bare -root planting transplants and geolifts Transplants provided living root mass quickly to increase streambank stability and create shaded holding areas for fish and other aquatic biota Native vegetation was planted across the site and the entire restoration site is protected through a permanent conservation easement The chronology of the Cleghorn Creek Restoration Project is presented in Table 2 The contact information for all designers contractors and relevant suppliers is presented in

11 Description of Vegetative Monitoring L� As a final stage of construction the stream margins and riparian area of the Site were planted with bare root trees live stakes and an herbaceous seed mixture of temporary and permanent ground cover vegetation Tree species planted are summarized in Table 5 After grading repairs were completed on the Site a permanent ground cover seed mixture was broadcast on the Site at a rate of 10 pounds per acre The seed mix is presented in Table 6 Successful restoration of the vegetation on a site is dependent upon hydrologic restoration active planting of preferred canopy species, and volunteer regeneration of the native plant community In order to detemmne if the criteria are achieved, five 100 square meter monitoring plots were installed across the restoration site to predict the survival rate of the bare rooted trees On a designated corner within each of rI the five vegetation plots one - 1 square meter herbaceous plot was also delineated Survival was determined from the difference between the previous year's living, planted trees and the current year's living planted trees Herbaceous survival was determined by subjectively fudging the area of coverage in each herbaceous plot J Plot construction involved using metal fence posts at each of the four corners to clearly and permanently establish the area that was to be sampled Then ropes were hung connecting all four corners to help in determining if trees close to the plot boundary were inside or outside of the plot Trees right on the boundary and trees dust outside of the boundary that appear to have greater than 50% of their canopy inside the boundary were counted inside the plot A piece of white PVC pipe ten feet tall was placed over (� the metal post on one corner to facilitate visual location of site throughout the five -year monitoring period LAll of the planted stems inside the plot were flagged with orange flagging and marked with a 3 foot tall piece of half inch PVC to identify them as the planted stems (vs any colonizers) and to help in locating them in the future Each stem was then tagged with a permanent numbered aluminum tag Individual seedlings within each plot were flagged to facilitate locating them during future monitoring events Each seedling was also marked with aluminum tags to ensure that the correct identification is made during future monitoring of the vegetation plots Plots were stratified in the project site to represent the different r� areas within the project These plots, one on Charles Creek (Plot # 5) and the four plots on Cleghom ` Creek were re- established in June 2007 The locations of the five vegetation plots are presented in Appendix A IJLive stakes were installed on both stream banks along both reaches of Cleghorn Creek and the upstream half of Charles Creek The species composition was roughly 40 percent silky dogwood (Cornus amomum) 40 percent silky willow (Salix serecia) 10 percent elderberry (Sambucus canadensis) and 10 percent mnebark (Physocarpus opuliaa) These same species were used in brush mattresses and geolifts l installed throughout the repair areas on Cleghorn Creek CLEGHORN

2 13 Vegetation Observations and Results The Site was planted with bottomland hardwood forest species in May 2006 The aforementioned flooding caused damage or destruction of much of the initial planting and the five vegetation-monitoring plots installed at the Site had to be abandoned to perform grading repairs The Site was re planted in April 2007 and vegetation plots were re- established at locations shown on the plans With the exception of isolated bank repairs performed in 2008 (most of which were the result of beaver activity) permanent seeding applied to streambanks beneath the erosion matting have generally provided good ground coverage Live stake bare root trees and live brush in the geolift structures have flourished and are contributing to streambank stability Vegetation monitoring conducted in the fall of 2010 documented a survival rate of 520 stems per acre to 640 stems per acre with an overall average of 600 stems per acre which is a survival rate of greater than 90% based on the initial planting count of 656 stems per acre As part of the streambank maintenance performed some replanting occurred in the repaired areas and equipment access lanes Despite replanting these areas appeared comparable to the sections of the project area that have not been repaired Earlier vegetative monitoring data documented that this site met the minimum interim success criteria at the end of Year 3 monitoring Year 5 sampling documented that the Site has met the final success criteria of 260 trees per acre at the end of Year 5 The following information in Table 7

site, with seven 0 on Cleghorn Creek Reach 1 one on Cleghorn Creek Reach 2, and three on Charles Creek Each cross - section was marked on both banks with permanent pins to establish the exact transect used A common benchmark was used for cross sections and consistently referenced to facilitate comparison a of year -to -year data The annual cross sectional survey included points measured at top of bank, edge of water water surface and thalweg, if the features are present Riffle cross sections were classified using the Rosgen Stream Classification System CLEGHORN CREEK RESTORATION PROJECT EEP CONTRACT NO D 04010 EBX NEUSE I LLC n YEAR 5 MONITORING REPORT I I Il JI I There should be little change in as -built cross - sections If changes to the channel cross section take Cf place they should be minor changes representing an increase in stability (e g settling vegetative changes deposition along the banks or decrease in width/depth ratio) 2 2 2 2 Longitudinal Profile A longitudinal profile was completed for the restored streams to provide a baseline for evaluating changes in channel bed condition over time A 1 500 foot longitudinal profile of Cleghorn Creek was surveyed in October as well as the entire project reach along Charles Creek Longitudinal profiles have been replicated annually during the five year monitoring period for this Site n Measurements taken during longitudinal profiles include thalweg, water surface, inner berm bankfull and top of low bank if the features were present Each of these measurements was taken at the head of each feature (e g riffle or pool) and the maximum pool depth All surveys were tied to a permanent benchmark of know elevation Cross - section and longitudinal profile data are provided in Appendix B The longitudinal profiles should show that the bed features are remaining stable and are not (� aggradmg or degrading The pools should remain deep with flat water surface slopes and the riffles L should remain steeper and shallower than the pools Bed form observations should be consistent with those observed for channels of the stream type that the design was based on 2 2 2 3 Bed Material Analyses Bed material analyses have included pebble counts taken during each geomorphic survey Pebble { i counts will provide data on the particle size distribution of the stream bed These samples may reveal changes in sediment gradation that can occur over time as the stream adjusts to constructed channel and to its sediment load Significant changes in the particle size distribution was evaluated with respect to stream stability and watershed changes 2 2 3 Morphometric Results 2 2 3 1 Cross - sections Cross - section data for stream stability were collected during October 2010 Cross - section (channel ` dimension) data were collected after construction was completed (as -built condition) and have been collected each subsequent year Location pins for cross - sections 1, 2, and 3 were disturbed during repair work and were reset nearby, which is why the location of the channel and floodplain features (� shifted between the As built and Year 1 monitoring period Cross - sections 4 through 8 on Cleghom Creek and 9 through 11 on Charles Creek have used the same pins since construction was completed I� The eleven permanent cross - sections along the restored channels (six located across riffles and five located across pools) were surveyed in October 2010 to document stream dimension at the end of the monitoring year Data from each of these cross - sections are summarized in Appendix B From Year 1 through Year 5, channel dimension has exhibited only small changes in stream bedform and Jelevation which could be considered within the range of normal year -to year variations for a sand - bed channel The most notable changes in channel dimension that are shown in the cross - section data actually occurred between the As -built and Yearl surveys The cross sections display the effects of the flood CLEGHORN CREEK RESTORATION PROJECT EEP CONTRACT NO D 04010 EBX NEUSE I LLC YEAR 5 MONITORING REPORT 12 Irk damage and subsequent repair work that was done which had the combined effect of increasing the channel cross - sectional area and reducing bank slopes particularly in point bar locations To better define changes in channel dimension measurements of bankfull cross section geometry were evaluated These measurements include average depth width, area, maximum depth and width/depth ratio The measurements indicate significant changes between the As built and Year 1 data, but do not clearly demonstrate a pattern of change in subsequent years From Year 1 through Year 5, some cross sections on Cleghorn Creek were either highly vanable (getting larger one year then smaller the next) or they did not change appreciably over the course of the monitoring events Survey data collected in 2010 indicates that the site has remained stable since the last survey was completed in 2009 Channel dimensions on Charles Creek do not reflect any instability and instead seem to reflect normal year to year variations Cross - section 10 has shown minor changes in bankfull width over time due to deposition associated with flood events, but is stable This channel has often been inundated by a series of beaver dams and some variability is likely associated with the affects of these dams While conducting Year 5 monitoring evidence of beaver activity was observed (observations include remnants of dams that have been removed as well as two intact beaver dams x that were scheduled to be removed once field surveys were completed) Eight of the eleven cross - sections surveyed in Year 5 do not appear to deviate from conditions observed in 2009 The pool at Cross - section 4 on Cleghorn Creek was noticeably deeper in 2009 compared to previous years and had decreased in area as sediment has deposited on the point bar and the channel width narrowed In Year 5 this pool was found to have filled back in to a depth similar to measurements recorded prior to 2009 Pools were also highly vanable with regards to width and depth and only one of the four pool cross - sections on Cleghorn Creek indicated a slight decrease in area as sediment deposits on the point bar and the channel width narrows Most other pool features appear to have remained relatively similar to what has been observed in previous monitoring events Most riffle cross - sections surveyed did not change significantly in 2010 and remain stable Cross sections 6 and 8 on Cleghorn Creek and Cross section 11 on Charles Creek had become slightly deeper by Monitoring Year 3 However, these riffle cross - sections have aggraded back to an elevation similar to that of the as built elevation Deepening pools, point bar development inside meanders and stable or slightly aggraded riffles reflect a positive trend in channel stability Another factor contributing to the stability observed on site during 2010 was the lack of beaver dams present on Cleghorn Creek as compared to previous years and a thriving riparian buffer Beaver dams have been built and destroyed several times within the time frame of this project The beaver dams block the flow of sediment through the system until the dams are removed and the resulting upstream sediment moves downstream Saturation of banks within the pools created by the dams kills stream bank vegetation and can result in slumping of the banks Although beaver activity abounds across the site and is suspected to be related to a small section of eroded bank on Cleghorn Creek, bedload transport functions appear to have improved on Cleghorn Creek since 2008 Beaver activity on site is expected to continue given the proximity of the project area to the confluence of Cleghorn Creek and the Broad River The two beaver dams that were still intact in October 2010 are not currently causing considerable bank instability problems nor are they expected to since they are scheduled to be removed once field monitoring is complete 2 2 3 2 Longitudinal Profile Longitudinal profile data for stream stability were collected at the same time as cross section measurements during October 2010 Longitudinal profile data were collected after construction was completed (as built condition) and have been collected each subsequent year The longitudinal profile on Cleghorn Creek begins dust downstream of Photo Point 4 and continues 1 500 LF 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 i i CLEGHORN CREEK RESTORATION PROJECT EEP CONTRACT NO D 04010 EBX NEUSE I LLC r� YEAR 5 MONITORING REPORT 13 U U 0 downstream past the bridge crossing The longitudinal profile for Charles Creek spans the entire length of the project reach on this stream (1 426 LF) Measurements included top of bank channel thalweg and water surface Profile 'plots in Appendix O B display 2010 thalweg water surface and top -of -bank points as compared to profiles surveyed during previous monitoring events The Year 1 survey was performed in April 2007 following stream repairs made after the second flood event occurred The Year 2 longitudinal survey was performed in November 2007 and the Year 3 longitudinal survey was performed in November and O December of 2008 The Year 4 longitudinal survey was performed in November and December of 2009 The Year 5 longitudinal survey was performed in October 2010 The longitudinal profiles should show that the bedfonn features are remaining stable (not aggrading or degrading) The pools should remain deep with flat water surface slopes and the nffles should remain steeper and shallower than the pools The profile companson indicates that overall both Cleghorn Creek and Charles Creek have maintained their respective as -built slopes and channel depths although some meander pools on Cleghorn Creek have deepened since last year Although several beaver dams were removed on both Cleghorn Creek and Charles Creek in 2010 the Site does not appear to have suffered significant damage from beaver habitation over the past year in companson with previous years During Year 5 Monitoring at least one intact beaver dam was lJ located on Cleghorn Creek while one of three recent dams built on Charles Creek remained The l—J other two dams appeared to have been recently removed As with the cross sections the longitudinal profile data show that the greatest adjustments on i J Cleghorn Creek occurred between the As built and the Year 1 survey as well -as the Year 4 survey I J which was taken a few weeks after at least two flood events occurred on -site As discussed in previous monitoring reports these adjustments were a combination of flooding effects and maintenance adjustments to increase the cross sectional area When comparisons of the plotted profiles from Monitoring Years 1 through 5 are made it does not appear that the overall thalweg elevation has increased or decreased sigmficantly The most noticeable profile difference on Cleghorn Creek between Years 4 and 5 of monitoring was the filling in of pools that were noticeably deeper in November and December of 2009 as a result of scour associated with recent flood events at the site However extreme flooding during the winter of 2010 appears to have moved a significant amount of sand into the project site and contnbuted to �J this pool filling The profile for Year 5 on Cleghom Creek generally appears to be more in line with what was observed in earlier monitoring years with the exception of sections where beaver dams have been located As previous monitoring reports note the thalweg between stations 16 +73 and —20 +50 appears to be lower when comparing Year 1 to Year 3 but from station —20 +50 to the end of the profile the elevation is approximately the same The location of where this change occurs is near the dnveway bridge and was the site of a large beaver dam in Year 2 of the monitoring period At least one more beaver dam was present that year at station 20 +17 The impacts of these dams are L evident in the Year 2 profile marked by aggradation upstream of the dams and degradation (plunge pools) below --the dams The lower profile elevation between stations 16 +73 and —20 +50 appears to n be a result of the large dam at station 16 +73 and the down cutting that resulted below the dam By LJ Year 3 the scour pool below the dam had filled but the overall profile through this dam area had lowered as the fines that aggraded upstream of the dam moved through the system, resulting in a n localized lowering of the profile This lowering of the profile is consistent with what was observed ! I in Year 1 monrtonng of the profile The intact beaver dam located on Cleghorn Creek near station 22 +75 as shown on the Year 5 longitudinal profile is characteristic of what has previously been observed signs of aggradation upstream of the dam followed by a plunge pool on the downstream Oend of the dam CLEGHORN CREEK RESTORATION PROJECT EEP CONTRACT NO D 04010 EBX NEUSE I LLC YEAR 5 MONITORING REPORT 14 I I, it Although pool length and pool spacing has decreased since Year 4 the channel appears to be very stable as indicated by a decreasing width depth ratio an increasing meander width ratio and O generally stable well vegetated streambanks This stream has a sand bed that is perpetually scoured by any rock or wood debris in the channel This process results in the formation of scour holes that may fall between meander bend pools which is common in these systems and indicates a positive change in bedform diversity Perhaps the most important determination for stability is how the 0 overall water surface slope and thalweg elevations change year to year and how they change relative to the bankfull elevation In this case the reach wide water surface slope and thalweg elevations do not appear to be changing significantly The water surface slope across the reach has remained at O 002 each year and the bank height ratio has not exceeded 1 1 The profile at Charles Creek is similar to what has been described for Cleghorn, however the profile O has not changed significantly between the As -built monitoring period and subsequent years Pools have either deepened or have filled slightly but the overall elevation and water surface slope ( 005) have remained relatively the same In Year 2 the beaver problems experienced on Cleghorn Creek were even more prevalent on Charles Creek The profile indicates the presence of at least 6 different O beaver dams along the project reach and this resulted in most of the reach being inundated by backwater These dams were either removed or washed out during Year 3 of monitoring Since that time, the channel had returned to almost the same profile as was seen in the as built profile with an O additional pool at station 2 +50 and the recovery of a pool that had disappeared during Years 1 and 2 near station 6 +65 The thalweg elevation in Year 5 is similar to the as -built elevation with the exception of the profile around stations 10 +00 to 12 +00 and 12 +83 to 15 +26 where beaver dams have been concentrated and where the channel at the confluence with Cleghorn Creek was scoured O in Year 3 A divergence in thalweg elevations occurs in these areas but recovers near the end of the profile at station 12 +83 where the elevation is similar in nature to that of the channel elevation present at the beginning stages of the monitoring period In 2008 it was discovered that Charles O Creek had become incised near its confluence with Cleghorn Creek There are various ponds upstream of this site and there were a number of high -water events during the fall of 2008 One hypothesis is that a sudden high volume of water was released down this channel resulting in O channel bed scour Subsequently in May 2009 approximately 100 lmear feet of banks were graded at the confluence of Charles Creek and Cleghorn Creek to lower the bankfull elevation and prevent further incision along this subreach of Charles Creek The increase in channel elevation near station 14 +34 can be attributed to the filling in of the previously incised outlet of Charles Creek Like 0 Cleghorn Creek Charles Creek appears to be stable as evidenced by healthy bank vegetation, a bank height ratio of 10 a low width depth ratio and stable riffle pool sequencing 0 2 2 3 3 Bed Material Analyses Year 5 pebble count data collected in the upper and lower subreaches of Cleghorn Creek and 0 Charles Creek indicate these streams are transporting particles roughly the same size or larger as those found during as built surveys (Table 132 Appendix B) Visual observation of Cleghom Creek and Charles Creek and a review of pebble count data collected did not yield any signs that sediment transport functions have been hampered by the restoration project Despite the higher occurrence of 0 beaver dams on Charles Creek as well as the storm event in 2008, the profile of Charles Creek has remained relatively the same as compared to Cleghorn Creek This is likely m part due to the differences in bedload particle size and the fact that streams like Cleghorn Creek that are sand -bed 0 systems tend to experience more microfeatures and fluxes in riffle pool features 2 2 4 Hydrologic Criteria The occurrence of bankfull events at the Site are documented by the use of crest gauges and photographs O Crest gauges were installed on the floodplam within 10 feet of the restored channels One crest gauge was CLEGHORN CREEK RESTORATION PROJECT EEP CONTRACT NO D 04010 EBX NEUSE I LLC 0 YEAR 5 MONITORING REPORT 15 I i placed on Charles Creek and one was placed on Cleghorn Creek The crest gauges record the highest 4 watermark between site visits and were checked during site visits to determine if a bankfull event occurred Photographs were taken to document the occurrence of these bankfull events during the respective years in which they were observed The hydrologic monitoring criteria for this project requires the documentation of two bankfull flow events within the 5 year monitoring period The two bankf ill events must occur in separate years otherwise, the stream monitoring may have to be continued until two bankfull events have been documented in separate years 2 2 5 Hydrologic Monitoring Results The crest gauge located on Cleghorn Creek approximately 250 feet above the confluence with Charles Creek, documented the occurrence of one bankfull flow event during the first year of the post - construction monitoring period (Table 8) The crest gauge on Charles Creek was damaged during this event no data was collected from this gauge until April 2010 The Cleghorn gauge was subsequently taken out of service during repair work and re- installed Inspection of site conditions over the next seven months revealed visual evidence of at least two additional out of bank flows The largest stream flow documented during As built and Year 1 of monitoring was approximately 2 5 feet above the bankfull stage The most recent bankfull events likely occurred sometime in late summer /early fall 2010 A small flood event was recorded using the Charles Creek crest gauge A measurement was not obtained from the crest gauge on Cleghorn Creek due to tampering with the gauge Table 8 Verification of Bankfull Events Cleghorn Creek Restoration Pro ect #D0410 EBX Neuse I LLC Date of Data Collection Date of Event Method of Data

monitoring data used to determine stream stability during the project s post construction monitonng penod are summarized in Appendix B Monitoring of the project site in 2010 resulted in the identification of four minor areas on Cleghom Creek and Charles Creek that needed maintenance or repair prior to close out of the mitigation project Maintenance work was limited to beaver dam removal on Charles Creek and Cleghorn Creek and minor bank stabilization along two small sections of Cleghorn Creek above the bridge Several other dams had already been removed at the time Year 5 monitoring took place The mid channel bar present on Cleghorn Creek at Station 116 +00 was removed and a small vane r ' was installed to discourage the formation of mid - channel bars in the future The area of bank erosion on the right bank adjacent to the bar and a small segment of bank erosion downstream at Station 122 +00 was repaired using a mini - trackhoe, both banks were replanted in December 2010 Table 9 below summarizes conditions at each site prior to repair and the likely cause for bank instability observed The location of each site is illustrated on the plans provided in Appendix A —

stations were photographed during the as -built survey and have been documented annually since construction Reference photos are taken once a year, from a height of approximately five to six feet Permanent markers were installed to ensure that the same locations (and view directions) are utilized during each monitoring period Reference photos were taken October 15 2010 and are shown in Appendix C Photographs will be used to subjectively evaluate channel aggradation or degradation bank erosion success of riparian vegetation and effectiveness of erosion control measures Photos should indicate the absence of developing bars within the channel no excessive bank erosion or increase in channel depth over tune, and maturation of riparian vegetation Reference photo transects were taken of the right and left banks at each permanent cross - section Photographs were also taken facing upstream and downstream at the permanent cross - section photo stations For each stream bank photograph a survey tape was centered in the frame which represents the cross section line located perpendicular to the channel flow The water line was located in the lower edge of the frame in order to document bank and riparian conditions Photographers will make an effort to consistently maintain the same area in each photo over time These photos are presented along with the cross section baseline data in Appendix B 2 2 8 Stream Stability Assessment In stream structures installed within the restored reaches of Cleghom Creek and Charles Creek include log vanes geolifts and root wads Brush mattresses were also installed along the outside of many of the meander bends, but these are not referred to as in stream structures since they are considered bank treatments Visual inspection of the log vanes and root wads indicate that they are functioning appropriately and, as of the date of this Report, there are no signs of instability The geolifts are also performing very well, with healthy growth of the vegetation and a generally stable bank and toe Table 10 presents a summary of the visual inspection of in- stream features and structures performed during October 2010 The percentages noted area

to Cleghorn Creek in part because the channel bed of Charles Creek is not in as much flux as the sandbed channel that typifies Cleghorn Creek in the project reach Transitions aside riffle pool sequences on Cleghorn Creek are functioning as needed and are within the acceptable limits of design parameters applied to this project Structures installed to enhance pool habitat and stabilize streambanks are also stable and functioning well Beyond the issues noted above no areas of concern have been identified during the first year following completion of the project Overall the site has achieved the stream morphology success cntena specified in the Restoration Plan for the Site 2 2 9 Quantitative Measures Summary Tables The quantitative pre construction, reference reach and design data used to determine restoration approach, as well as the As built baseline data used during the project s post construction monitonng penod are summarized in Appendix B 3 0 WILDLIFE OBSERVATIONS Observations of deer coyote turkey, beaver and raccoon tracks are common on the Site Fish have been seen in the both Charles and Cleghorn Creek Evidence of beaver habitation is prevalent m the project area and includes bank slides stumps of cut trees and chewed limbs in the channel Some trees have been visibly damaged by beavers and several dams have been located on the Site Although several dams have already been removed at least two were present within the project reach on Charles Creek dunng the recent surveys Coyote scat is very common along stream banks throughout the site Hawks and migratory ducks and geese have also been observed on the Site 40 CONCLUSION Year 5 data evaluated against monitoring cntena established for this project indicate the site is stable, has a stable channel geometry and has a npanan buffer that is healthy throughout the project reach No further monitoring is required since monitoring to date indicates that this project, which has expenenced numerous flood events and other natural disturbances, meets the success cntena specified in the Restoration Plan CLEGHORN CREEK RESTORATION PROJECT EEP CONTRACT NO D 04010 E8X NEUSE I LLC YEAR 5

Bank erosion at Sta. 117 +00 caused by growth of a mid - channel bar near the left bank. Mid - channel bar causing erosion on right bank at Sta. 117 +00. Approximately 15 -feet of scour along right bank at Sta. 121 +50. Worn animal path at Sta. 121+50 (same area located on left side of previous photo. Sta. 131 +50 where rope for crossing will be re- installed. Beaver dam was also scheduled for removal once survey crews were out of the area. Loss of vegetation to beaver impacts has been minimized by periodic site visits to assess the area for beaver activity. Beavers will likely continue to be present at the site, particularly in light of the proximity of the site to the confluence of Cleghorn Creek with the Broad River.
