The project is located in the USGS • Hydrologic Unit Code 03040105070010 and all of the project streams are located in the Yadkin River Basin and the 03-07-14 NCDWQ sub-basin. • In response to RFP 16-D06054 the 601 North Site was proposed by Environmental Banc and Exchange (EBX) and accepted by the North Carolina Division of Natural Resources to provide '~ stream mitigation in the Yadkin River Basin (Cataloging Unit 03040105). The site contains one Unnamed Tributary to Wicker Branch. The Unnamed Tributary (UT) flows north to south and enters Wickers Branch at the property line. Wickers Branch is listed as NCDWQ • Water Supply (WS-V) waters. The UT has a drainage area of 0.30 square miles at the downstream • property boundary. The project site is currently maintained as an active agricultural field. The streams appear to have been historically straightened and have gone through periods of having the riparian buffer cleared. Reference Location One reference reach was located outside of the project watershed. The reference reach is within the same hydrophysiographic region as the project reaches. The reference reach has a drainage area of 0.18 square miles and located in an isolated forested area upstream of a culvert grade control under Roscoe-Howey Road. The reach exhibited stable pattern, profile, and bankfull dimension and will be used to generate dimensionless ratios for design comparison. Restoration Approach The objective of this restoration approach is to plan, design, and construct a dynamically stable stream/riparian floodplain to provide an ecological improvement for the entire site and watershed. The pattern, profile, and dimension of the channel will be adjusted to approximately match Regional Curve values and to mimic reference reach conditions. Structures such as rock cross vanes, a-vanes, rock vanes, log sills, log vanes, and root wads will be used to provide grade control, added habitat, and/or bedform diversity. It is proposed that the UT will be relocated to a more natural position in the center of both the valley and the historic floodplain of the stream. Adding pattern to the stream would result in additional length and proper pool-to-pool spacing. In some areas the existing channel bed elevation will be maintained and an inner berm and floodplain bench will be excavated to add flood relief and to reduce shear stress on the banks. The bed elevation throughout the remaining areas will be raised to allow access to the historic floodplain. Proper pool-to-pool spacing and the use of appropriate structures are critical for providing sufficient energy dissipation throughout the stream.

County. From Raleigh take US 1 South and bear right onto US 74 West. Continue on US 74 West, turn left onto Highway 601 South. for approximately 7 miles and turn right onto McManus Circle. See Figure 1 for the project site vicinity map. 1.2 USGS Hydrologic Unit Code and NCDWQ River Basin Designations The project is located in the USGS Hydrologic Unit Code 03040105070010 and all of the project streams are located in the Yadkin River Basin and the 03-07-14 NCDWQ sub-basin. 1.3 i Project Vicinity Map Figure 1 shows the project site vicinity map. 2.0 Watershed Characterization Table 2 provides hydrological and surface water classification information for the major project • reaches. See Figure 3 for the project site watershed map. 2.1 Drainage Area The site contains an Unnamed Tributary (UT) to Wicker Branch. The upper section of the UT has a drainage area of 0.23 square miles and the lower section of the UT has a drainage area of 0.30 square miles.

Wicker Branch has a ,NCDWQ stream index number 13-17-40-4, and is described as "From source to Lanes Creek". Wicker Branch is listed as NCDWQ Water Supply V (WS-V) waters, which are waters that are :generally upstream and drain to Class WS-1V waters or waters used by industry to supply their employees with drinking water or as waters formerly used as water supply. 7 2.3 Physiography, Geography, and Soils The project watershed lies within the Carolina Slate Belt Ecoregion, part of the Piedmont physiographic providence. Valley slopes between 0.0082 and 0.0097 typify the topography of the project watershed. The elevation within the project area ranges form 588 to 609 feet above sea level. The geology of the site cosists of Metamudstone and Meta-Argillite which is thin to thick bedded; bedding plane and axial-planar cleavage common; interbedded with metasandstone, metaconglomerate, and metavolcanic rock and is considered a Cid formation. Cid channery silt loam, Goldston-Badin complex, Misenheimer-Cid complex soils cover the floodplain of upper and lower UT as shown in Figure 4. 2.4 Land Use and Development Trends 2.4.1 Historical Land Use Historically, cultivated farmland and forests have dominated the landscape. Based on a review of aerial photography (2004) (Figure 4), forest and cultivated land cover over 99.5 % of the watershed Wetlands cover the remaining watershed area. Table 3 shows the distribution of land cover within the watershed. Table 3: Existing Land Cover of the WaterchPrl Land Cover Acreage Percentage of Total Coverage Upland Forest 36 18.5 Herbaceous Planted/Cultivated 157 81.0 Wetlands 1 0.5 Wetlands compose approximately 0.5 % of the watershed. 2.4.2 Development Trends Based on an analysis of aerial photographs there has been no increase in impervious surface in the project watershed between 1998 and 2004. The landowner expects to continue to cultivate the land adjacent to the project site. It is anticipated that there will be little to no increase in impervious surface in the project watershed. Zoning The project area is zoned as RA-40. The RA-40 zoning district is low density residential that allows most types of residential housing and agricultural uses. It is not anticipated that there be a significant increase in urbanization in the project watershed because of this zoning type. Major Transportation Projects The North Carolina Department of Transportation has listed several projects in there Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) that are located within the Monroe, NC vicinity. Several of these projects are listed below. • R-2616 - US 601 widen to four lanes • R-2559 -Monroe Bypass four lanes new location • U-4024 - US 601 to US 74 multilanes 8 These TIP projects will not directly affect any construction activities associated with this project. The current highway 601 right-of--way is approximately 70-feet from the easement boundary and it is not expected that the widening of highway 601 will cause any conflicts. These projects are anticipated to encourage some growth; however, it is expected most of the development will be outside of the project watershed. 2.5 Threatened and Endangered Species According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) database dated March 2, 2006, there are three federally listed endangered species. The vascular plants Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxii) and Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthusschweinitzii) along with a freshwater mussel, the Carolina heel splitter (Lasmigona decorata) are listed as occurring in Union County. The entire 601 North site has been under intensive agricultural use for an extended period of time. The frequent disturbance of the proposed site along the proposed restoration corridor makes it unlikely that any of the listed plant species occur in this area. The channel is also highly disturbed and impacted by sediment. The present channel condition makes it unlikely that the heel splitter occurs in this system. Additional investigations will beconducted for these species to determine if suitable habitat exists. A Section 7 ESA clearance will be obtained from the USFWS prior to restoration activities. A search of the US Fish and Wildlife Service website (http://www.fws.gov/endangered/) and the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program website (http://207.4.179.38/nhp/) in August 2006 identified the Carolina heel splitter (Lasmigona decorata) as an endangered species residing within Union County. 2.6 Cultural Resources A review of properties to be determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places at the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) was conducted for the project area and the surrounding area. According to the most recent (2002) NCCGIA database, there are no National Register properties within a 1-mile radius of the project area. In addition, the SHPO Archaeological Database was reviewed, and no significant archaeological sites were identified within a 1-mile radius. 2.7 Potential Constraints • 2.7.1 Property Ownership and Boundary Environmental Banc & Exchange, LLC (EBX) has entered into an Agreement for Purchase of • Easement with the landowner for the Site. The conservation easement exists entirely on a parcel owned by Franklin W. Howey and the conservation easement area has been secured by Environmental Banc and Exchange. The conservation easement boundary is shown on the designed channel alignment. ~ 2.7.2 Site Access The Site will be accessed for construction off of Highway 601 and McManus Circle. It is not anticipated that there will be any site access conflicts. r 9 2.7.3 Utilities The certified survey map, Environmental Data Resources report, and visual. field inspections indicated that there were no known utilities on site. 2.7.4 FEMA /Hydrologic Trespass The project reach is not a designated flood zone under the Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) program according to map number 3717900200 C effective July 5, 1994. The project is anticipated to lower flood stage elevations due to the construction of a floodplain bench, and debris removal. 3.0 Project Site Streams Kimley-Horn performed a geomorphic survey (cross sections, longitudinal survey, and pattern) and sampled stream materials (classification and entrainment pebble counts, bar samples, sub-pavement and pavement samples) on several reaches representative of the geomorphic settings within the project area. Table 4 below summarizes the channel classifications of the surveyed reaches within the project area and Restoration Table IV (Section 8) provides detailed morphological data. 3.1 Channel Classification The UT is classified as a Rosgen stream type B4 channel. The reach has entrenchment ratios of 1.7 to 2.9, width-to-depth ratios of 7.5 to 11.0, bank height ratios of 1.2 to 2.6, and slopes of 0.0095 to 0.0107. The stream morphology is included in Restoration Table IV. Table 4: Summary of CtrPam ('laccifiratinn Assmt.

Appendix 1 • displays photos of existing conditions. • The restoration reach lies within an area that historically has been used for agricultural purposes. • The UT has historically been channelized and relocated to the toe of the valley. Most of the UT has • a no riparian buffer. • The agricultural practice of the historical floodplain has caused the soils to become compacted and • has decreased the infiltration rate. As a result the surface mimics the characteristics of a semi- • impervious area, increasing the quantity and rate at which storm event hydrology reaches these streams. The restoration reaches have downcut and incised until it encountered bedrock outcrops • which act as grade control. The stream is currently attempting to widen which is accelerating the • erosion of the banks. • Bank height ratios (low bank height divided by the maximum bankfull depth) were determined for • the surveyed reaches. In the methodology used for this report (Rosgen, 2001), bank height ratios • between 1.1 and 1.3 are regarded as "moderately unstable," ratios between 1.3 and 1.5 as "unstable," " " and bank height ratios greater than 1.5 are highly unstable. • Table 6: Restoration Reach Characteristics A t B k Ve etative Buffer Ad t Di t b / ssm .

The alluvial forest are commonly dominated by river birch (Betzzla nigra), sycamore (Platanzzs occidentalis), black willow (Salix nigra), box elder (Ater negundo), black walnut (Juglans nigra), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), red maple (Ater rubrum), muscle wood (Carpinus caroliniana), and tag alder (Alms serrulata). The fields were dominated with fescue (Festuccz spp.) and corn. There was little woody vegetation growing in these areas. 4.0 Reference Streams 4.1 Watershed Characterization One reference reach was located outside of the project watershed. Figure 6 shows the location of the reference reach. The reference reach is within the same hydrophysiographic region as the project reaches. The off-site reference reach has a drainage area of 0.18 square miles 4.2 Channel Classification The reference reach classifies as a Rosgen stream type E channel. The reach has an entrenchment ratio of 17.9, a width to depth ratio of 6.0, bank height ratio of 1.0-1.1, and a slope of 0.0127. The reference stream morphology is included in Restoration Table IV. 4.3 Discharge The peak flows for the 2-, 10-, 25-, and 100-year storms were modeled for the given drainage areas. These flows were calculated using the North Carolina rural flood-frequency equations for the Blue Ridge-Piedmont Region. The peak flows calculated are summarized in Table 7.

The channel also has been isolated from adjacent land uses with a stable vegetative buffer. 12 • • • • • • 4.6 Bankfull Verification Determination of the bankfull elevation is vital to generating meaningful geomorphic values. Field indicators for bankfull were strong for the reference reaches; however, due to down cutting and bed and bank instability, the restoration candidates had weaker bankfull indicators. To verify bankfull elevations, the bankfull area values for the project reaches and reference reaches were checked against the North Carolina Piedmont Rural regional curves (Harman, Jennings et al. 1999). The results indicate a general agreement between the three sets (site, references, and regional curve) thus providing a measure of validation. No discernible bankfull indicators exist in the project reach. These dimensions represent a stable inner bench that was consistently visible in the field and thus incorporated into the typical cross sections. Designed bankfull dimensions rely more heavily on the reference and regional curve data. 4.7 Vegetation The Restoration Plan Design Sheets will use the vegetation communities associated with and surrounding the reference reach as reference communities for riparian restoration. Two distinct communities lie within riparian area of the reference reach: piedmont alluvial forest and piedmont bottomland forest (Schafale and Weakley 1990). These landscapes match landscapes within the project area. The piedmont alluvial forest landscape is flat, somewhat frequently flooded. The piedmont bottomland forest landscape is flat, frequently flooded, and the water table remains close to the surface. 5.0 Project Site Restoration Plan 5.1 Restoration Project Goals and Objectives The goal of this project is to restore the site back to a naturally functioning stream system designed to address and correct the impairment issues typically associated with highly disturbed systems. The project will provide ecological functional lift to the existing system by restoring the stream and riparian habitat to a stream type and vegetative community appropriate for the given valley and watershed conditions. Benefits will include improved water quality by reducing sediment load through stabilization and by reducing nutrient and other pollutant input by the addition of forested riparian buffers planted with native species. Additionally, the forested buffers and reconnection with the historic flood plain will improve channel hydraulics and system capacity. Improvements to the ecosystem include the addition of in-stream habitat by the use of in-stream structures and bank revetments such as root wads. By providing an appropriate mix of native forest vegetation to create an appropriate canopy and understory, the soil structure will improve, a leaf litter source will be established to support aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, and shading and cooling will be provided to improve water quality. This will provide functional uplift for the watershed as a whole. 13 Stream Restoration Approach A natural channel design technique, using priority I and II methodologies was used to adjust the channel dimension, pattern, and profile to a stable configuration. The configuration was based on reference reach morphology, values from regional curves, regime equations, experience from other restoration projects, and the existing channel morphology. These reference values are presented in Restoration Table IV. The stream restoration either restored the streams in place or created a new channel. The base flow elevation will remain relatively in place and lower, more active flood prone areas will be created along with an inner berm bench to help alleviate bank stress during intermediate storm events. Channel restoration will be based on Rosgen "C" type stream modified from Rosgen "E" type reference streams. Alluvial streams in the Piedmont of North Carolina tend to be Rosgen "E" type channels or relatively narrow and deep. Such geometry typically forms because the existing, mature vegetation root system holds the bank soil in place causing the stream to develop a relatively narrow and deep cross section. Typically when an alluvial stream is relocated or restored in an open field in the Piedmont, it cannot be constructed as an "E" channel because there is no existing, mature vegetation root system to hold the banks in place. As such, it is better to construct a "C" type channel cross section with flatter banks to reduce the possibility of bank erosion. However, it is anticipated that as mature vegetation is established on the stream banks that the root system will cause the stream to develop a deeper, narrower bankfull channel (or an "E" type channel). As such, the relocated channel maybe constructed with a "C" type channel cross section, but will quickly develop into an "E" type channel as mature vegetation is established. Dimension The riffle channels cross sectional areas were calculated from the hydraulic geometry curves derived from the reference reaches and regional curves. The riffle cross sections were shaped to have a mean depth and width capable of transporting existing and predicted future sediment loads for the designed channel slope. A bankfull bench was added to to create access to a lower flood prone area. The pool cross sections were shaped based on riffle to pool cross section relationships found in the appropriate reference reach. The reference dimensionless ratios are included in the morphological table (Restoration Table IV) and typical cross sections are shown in the attached Restoration Plan Design Sheets. Pattern The channel planform was dictated by reference ratios for meander wavelength and radius of curvature derived from the reference reaches and typical Rosgen reference reach values for C type channels. The belt widths were based on reference ratios but were limited in some areas by the topography of the valley. The proposed planform sinuosity allowed pool to pool spacing and riffle locations to match reference conditions. The proposed sinuosity provided the appropriate slope to transport the material coming into the reach. The planform values and ratios are provided in the morphological table in Restoration Table IV and the Restoration Plan Design Sheets provide the designed channel alignment. Bedform The design channel Bedform predominantly consists of a riffle -pool sequence with runs and glides between them. The design depths and pool to pool spacing of the features were based on reference 14 reach values and typical Rosgen reference reach values for C type channels (Restoration Table IV). The pools were located in the apex of meander bends with riffles located between the pools in the tangent portions of the channel. The pools will be over-dug to allow for some sedimentation during construction activities. The profile section of the Restoration Plan Design Sheet shows the designed channel bedform. Structures In-stream structures were placed in the design channel to provide grade control and maintain overall design slope. In-stream structures also were used to protect stream banks and increase aquatic habitat diversity. The types of structures incorporated into the restoration project include rock cross vanes, A-vanes, rock vanes, root wads, log sills, and log vanes. Root wads were used only for the purpose of providing habitat. Beaver Management It is anticipated there will be no need for a beaver management plan. Riparian Buffer Restoration Approach Reestablishing the riparian buffer will restore habitat connectivity throughout the conservation easement. Prior to planting, the soils will be treated as described in section 5.5 to facilitate plant establishment. New plants will be installed as directed in section 5.6. 5.1.1 Designed Channel Classification The restoration reaches are designed as Rosgen CS-~ES channels. 5.1.2 Target Buffer Communities The vegetation communities for the reference reaches were similar to the on-site piedmont alluvial forest and bottomland communities (described in Section 4.7). See Figure 10 for the Reference Site Vegetative Communities Map. 5.2 Sediment Transport Analysis 5.2.1 Methodology Sediment transport was calculated using shear stress equations to verify that the designed channel would be able to transport at bankfull its bedload without aggrading or degrading. The Shields curve was used for initiation of particle movement to estimate the range of particles transported for a given shear stress. Two physical characteristics of the channel design that affect the shear stress on the channel bed are the slope of the channel and hydraulic radius. i = ~yRs Where: i= shear stress (lb/ft2) y =specific gravity of water (62.41b/ft3) R =hydraulic radius (ft) 15 s =water surface slope (ft/ft) The hydraulic radius equals the cross sectional area divided by the wetted perimeter. R= A P Where: R =hydraulic radius A =cross-sectional area (ft~) P =wetted perimeter (ft) 5.2.2 Calculations and Discussion The restoration reaches were designed with a mean depth and slope sufficient to transport a range of particles. Table 9 provides the results of the sediment transport calculations using the shear stress equation and Shields curve. The channel is designed to eliminate bank erosion and to flush the sands and transport the characteristic sediments. The characteristic sediments were determined from analyzing bed materials in comparative streams having less impacted watersheds. Table 8: Summary of Shear Stress Calculations Proposed Proposed Shear Particle Restoration Reach Slope Hydraulic Stress Transport Radius Size (mm) (ft/ft) (ft) (Ib/ft2) Upper UT 0.0020 - 0.0048 0.8 0.10 0.24 6 - 15 Lower UT 0.0057 - 0.0092 0.7 0.25 - 0.40 13 - 22 5.3 HEC-RAS Analysis Bankfull, 2-, 10-, and 100-year peak discharge flows were analyzed for both existing and proposed conditions. The HEC-RAS model (v.3.1.3) verified a net reduction in water surface elevation, channel velocity, and total velocity. There was a minor increase in shear stress which was necessary in order to flush the fines and transport the desired bed material. The addition of two 15" CMP culverts helped improve overall conveyance of the crossing. 5.3.1 No-Rise, LOMR, CLOMR The project streams are not mapped under the FEMA National Flood Insurance Program; therefore, approval is not required by FEMA or the State of North Carolina. 5.3.2 Hydrologic Trespass The project streams were designed to eliminate any hydrologic trespass issues. A stabilized pattern, profile, and dimension combined with the inner berm and bankfull benches should create a net decrease in flood stage thus reducing any chance of hydrologic trespass. After cross section 1600 there is an increase in water surface elevation for the 100-year event. This increase in water surface only extends the flood boundary approximately 10-feet beyond the existing limits; thus not creating a significant risk to the adjacent fields. 16 • 5.4 Stormwater Best Management Practices ~ 5.4.1 Site-Specific Stormwater Concerns • The project site is situated in a predominately rural setting. It is anticipated that the re-established • riparian buffer will be sufficient in filtering and treating any stormwater runoff from the adjacent agricultural fields. 5.5 Soil Restoration Soils within the riparian restoration areas will be treated to facilitate the growth and development of plantings. The soils will be ripped prior to planting to break up compacted soils and create a favorable environment for new plantings. Plant nutrients and soil amendments will be applied to the soils as prescribed by the soils test report performed by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Agronomic Division for sample sites located throughout the project area (Appendix 6). 5.6 Natural Plant Community Restoration The goal of the riparian restoration is to provide long-term improvements to ecological functions of the existing forest community. The Restoration Plan Design Sheet has been developed to provide these functional uplifts through the re-establishment of target natural communities. The target natural communities have been determined based on comparison of existing site conditions with established type communities with verification of appropriate species from proximate reference natural communities. Based on the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program's Nature Community Classification, the site's riparian area most closely correlates to Piedmont Bottomland Forests within the lower floodplains and Piedmont Alluvial Forest in the remaining riparian areas. (Schafale and Weakley 1990). 5.6.1 Reforestation Scheme The goal of the planting scheme seeks to establish a riparian community consistent with the reference community using an approach that accelerates the successional process leading to a mature riparian community. The planting plan will use reference plant communities discussed in the previous paragraph as a base to design a planting scheme and develop a vegetation list. Re-colonization of cleared riparian habitats characteristically begins with an invasion of pioneer species that creates an environment (e.g. shading) suitable for species more typical of a mature community. To initialize the proposed riparian community, the restoration area will be planted with a mix of pioneer and climax species that have been selected and arranged to meet the following objectives: Establish mix of shade intolerant canopy and shade tolerant understory species ^ Provide vegetative source of dominant species ^ Establish local seed sources for those species less likely to migrate into the restoration area 17 ^ Provide stability to disturbed or high stress areas The design of a planting plan involves several components. The planting zones have been developed considering site hydrology, soils, and disturbance regimes and are referenced to natural communities. Each zone has a unique environment that dictates species selection and community structure. The planting list is developed for each zone to match the vegetation in the reference community and meet the objectives given above. The planting list also reflects which species are readily available and have a reasonable expectation of survival. For a given zone and species, a plant source and planting type (e.g. containerized or bare root) is recommended. A planting schedule is developed so that site preparation and plant installation occur at the optimal time and season. After installation, the planting should be verified. The maintenance plan is developed to promote long- term success of the planting. These planting plan components are described below. 5.6.2 Planting Zones The planting plan includes 5 zones of distinct vegetative composition and structure. ^ Zone 1 -Stream Channel ^ Zone 2 -Stream Bench ^ Zone 3 -Riparian ^ Zone 4 -Bottomland ^ Zone 5 -Transitional Zone 1 -Stream Channel The stream channel zone includes the stream channel from base flow to bankfull. The zone features the steepest slopes of the zones and highest saturation levels. This environment dictates the planting of fast-growing, obligate pioneer species to provide stability to areas at or below bankfull. Zone 2 -Stream Bench The stream bank zone includes the area from the top of bank outward away from the stream 10 feet. It is an area exposed to regular stream flows and frequent soil deposition. The most stressed areas are located on the outside bends of meanders. The benches will be planted with fast-growing, deep- rooted species that will provide biostabilization and shading to the stream Zone 3 -Riparian The riparian zone includes the area beyond zone 2 to the edge of the floodplain where the hydrology supports piedmont alluvial hardwood forest vegetation. The area is flat, somewhat frequently flooded. The composition of the vegetation includes a mix of canopy and understory trees. Zone 4 -Bottomland The Bottomland zone includes the area beyond zone 2 to the edge of the floodplain where the hydrology supports Bottomland hardwood forest vegetation. The area is flat, frequently flooded, and the water table remains close to the surface. Zone 4 remains flooded or saturated for longer periods than Zone 3. The composition of the vegetation includes a mix of canopy and understory trees. 18 Zone 5 -Transitional The transitional zone includes an approximately 10-foot buffer between zone 3 or 4 and an adjacent open area such as a field outside of the conservation easement. The planting list consists of a subset • of species consisting of smaller species that tolerate full sun and will eliminate an abrupt boundary between the open field and zone 3 or 4. ~ 5.6.3 Plant List The plant list is based on the target community, reference community, and recommendations from the North Carolina Stream Restoration Institute (Ha112001) and the North Carolina Ecosystem • Enhancement Program (Smith 2004). The selection of species also depends on availability from • local nursery sources. ~ 5.6.4 Plant Sources The planting plan preferentially selects local genetic stock and utilizes three sources of plants. Two sources-nursery stock and on-site transplants-will be tied directly to the initial planting and will . be utilized in numbers to support permit guidelines. The remaining source-recruitment-has been • factored into the selection of species in the plant list. The plant list includes a significant portion of species not likely to establish from natural propagation. • Nursery Stock The planting plan may utilize any of the following nursery stock forms of woody species: bare roots, • containerized seedlings, and ball and burlap. Additionally, the planting plan also may use sod or seeds from commercial sources. The planting plan prescribes that nursery stock are grown under environmental conditions similar to the target environment. The planting list includes alternates in case specific species ofpre-ordered plants are not available or acceptable for installation. ~ On-Site Transplants • Several favorable species grow within the existing site. In the course of constructing a new channel alignment, some individual plants may need to be removed. The individuals of a target species that are of an appropriate size and age maybe transplanted into the restoration area. • Recruitment • It is expected that the restoration sites will be populated with species from adjacent communities. . The restoration sites will be maintained to keep unwanted species at less than 10% of the total population. ~ 5.6.5 Plant Care and Installation ~ The plantings will be cared for and installed based on guidelines provided in the included planting • notes. When planted properly, bare root seedlings are the most cost-effective and successful plant material. Containerized plantings, live stakes, and other plant materials will be used based on the needs of the planting zone (e.g. frequent disturbance, immediate shading, and others). Larger ~ unprotected trees will be guarded using tree shelters that should protect against herbivory and inhibit • site occupation by beavers. 19 5.6.6 Schedule The planting plan will be scheduled around stream construction activities and growing season. Special attention will be paid to stabilizing disturbed areas that include newly-constructed channels and temporary construction easements. The final vegetation planting will occur after proper site preparation (described below) during the appropriate season. Plantings maybe staggered based on surrounding activities. Live stake planting on stream banks (zone 1) will follow closely after channel construction to provide immediate stabilization. On-site transplants will be planted immediately after removal from their existing habitat. Planting of zones 2-4 will occur from late winter to early spring after construction to minimize or eliminate threats from the construction; exotic vegetation treatment; unpredictable weather; and beaver activity. 5.6.7 Stabilization Immediately after construction the stream banks and all disturbed areas will be seeded with permanent and temporary seed mixes. If within the appropriate season, permanent seeding will be completed in conjunction with construction with temporary seeding applied per Land Quality Section requirements. Within the stream channel (Zone 1), pioneer species that provide immediate bank stabilization will be planted. Live stakes and bare roots will be planted around structure installations and the outside of meander bends to provide an area of high density root mass. Coir fiber matting and live stakes will be used along the entire reach of the restored channels to provide stabilization until vegetation can be established. 5.6.8 Site Preparation Prior to planting the riparian buffer, efforts will be made to eradicate fescue and invasive plants such as multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora), Chinese privet (Lingustrum sineses), and Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica). These efforts should include herbicide use during the spring and afollow-up spraying in early fall to eliminate any fescue that was not killed in the spring. A permanent seed mix can be used after application of the pre-emergent. Woody planting can follow during the dormant season. 5.6.9 Planting Review After the final planting is complete, the planting supervisor will verify that the site was planted properly through inspection of stem counts and condition. The planting contractor will be responsible for replacing damaged plantings. 5.6.10 Monitoring and Maintenance Monitoring will verify that the restoration area is meeting restoration goals. Damaged plantings will be removed and replanting will occur if the planting survival fails to meet restoration goals. If monitoring indicates that an area is trending towards greater than 10% coverage by nuisance vegetation, that area will be treated to remove the nuisance vegetation. 20 ~ 6.0 Performance Criteria • ~ 6.1 Stream Success Criteria • • The stream geometry will be considered successful if the cross-section geometry, profile, and sinuosity are stable or reach a dynamic equilibrium. It is expected that there will be minimal changes in the designed cross sections, profile, and/or substrate composition. Changes that may occur during the monitoring period will be evaluated to determine if they represent a movement toward a more • unstable condition (e.g. down cutting, erosion, etc.) or are minor changes that represent an increase • in stability (e.g. settling, vegetative changes, coarsening of bed material, etc.). • An initial, though not exclusive, indicator of success will be adherence to design or reference ratios of stream geometry found in the morphological table (Restoration Table I~ or in comparable and • stable reference systems. The channel may not adhere to design or reference ratios of stream geometry, but can be considered stable if the following key indicators are present: ^ Stream Type: Maintenance of the design stream type or progression or conversion to stable stream type such as B, C, or E will indicate stability • Bank Height Ratio: Bank height ratio between 1.0 and 1.1 will indicate flood flows have access to the active floodplain and that higher flows do not apply excessive stresses to stream banks Determination of true bankfull may be difficult until the stream has had adequate flooding events to • create strong bankfull indicators. The nature of the watershed presents challenges to stream restoration. The contributing watersheds lie within a rapidly developing region. The urbanizing watershed's runoff character will continue to change as the nature of the land cover shifts to less permeable surfaces. The hydrograph will shift such that bankfull flooding events will become more frequent and peak discharges will be higher. The cross sections have been designed with bankfull benches to account for some shifting in bankfull discharges. ~ Upstream construction activities driven by land development likely will lead to episodic sediment pulses sent downstream through the stream network. Additionally, erosion of upstream unstable stream banks will persistently contribute sediment to the project reaches. Excess sediment will either • be routed though the project area or deposited in target areas such as point bars and the floodplain. Minor sedimentation of pools and glides may occur. The pools are designed to be over dug to account for some sedimentation of pools and glides. If a large storm event occurs before the woody vegetation has established, isolated bank erosion may occur in sections where the flood prone area has been restricted due to topography andJor utility • easements. Areas of bank erosion will be repaired as necessary. It is normal for streams located in the Carolina Slate Belt Ecoregion to flow underground during dry • periods, particularly in areas where the stream bed is in contact with bedrock. This is true even with • very large permanent streams. As such, even though a stream maybe considered to be perennial for mitigation purposes, it may not have flowing water present above ground during dry periods. It is anticipated that portions of the restored stream channel will be in contact with bed rock and may not ~ flow during dry periods. 21 6.2 Vegetation Success Criteria The success of riparian and wetland vegetation planting will be gauged by stem counts of planted species. Stem counts of over 320 trees per acres after 3 years, and 260 trees per acre after 5 year will be considered successful. Photos taken at established photo points should indicate maturation of riparian vegetation community. 6.3 Schedule/Reporting The monitoring plan to evaluate the success of the stream restoration project is based on guidance provided by The Stream Mitigation Guidelines disseminated by the United States Corps of Engineers -Wilmington District (McLendon, Fox et al. 2003) and recommendation from the Ecosystem Enhancement Program. The collection and summarization of monitoring data will be conducted in accordance with the most current version of the EEP documents entitled "Content, Format, and Data Requirements for EEP Monitoring Reports" Upon completion of the restoration project, an as-built survey will be conducted that documents the following conditions: ^ Geomorphology (dimension, pattern, and profile) ^ Channel materials ^ Channel stability and in-stream structure functionality ^ Wetland hydrology ^ Vegetation (stream and wetland) The survey of channel dimension will consist of permanent cross sections placed at approximately two cross sections (one riffle and one pool) per unique stream segment. The cross sections will represent approximately 50% riffles and 50% pools. Annual photographs showing both banks and upstream and downstream views will betaken from permanent, mapped photo points. The survey of the longitudinal profile will represent distinct areas of restoration and will cover a cumulative total of 3,000 linear feet of channel. Newly-constructed meanders will be surveyed to provide pattern measurements. Channel material measurements will be collected by using pebble counts for at least six of the permanent cross sections. The entire restored length of stream will be investigated for channel stability and in-stream structure functionality. Any evidence of channel instability will be identified, mapped, and photographed. All structures will be inventoried for functionality and photographed. Successful restoration of the vegetation on a stream mitigation site is dependent upon hydrologic restoration, active planting of preferred canopy species, and volunteer regeneration of the native plant community. In order to determine if the criteria are achieved, vegetation-monitoring quadrants will be installed across the restoration site, as directed by NCEEP monitoring guidance. The number of quadrants required will be based on the species/area curve method, as described in NCEEP monitoring guidance documents, with a minimum of at least three quadrants. The size of individual quadrants vegetation-monitoring plots will be installed on approximately 1.0 percent of the restoration site. The individual monitoring plots will be 0.01 hectare in size. Vegetation monitoring will occur in spring after leaf-out has occurred. Individual quadrant data will be provided and will include diameter, height, density, and coverage quantities. Relative values will be calculated and 22 importance values will be determined. Individual seedlings will be marked such that they can be found in succeeding monitoring years. Mortality will be determined from the difference between the previous year's living planted seedlings and the current year's living planted seedlings. At the end of the first growing season, species composition, density, and survival will be evaluated. For each subsequent year, until the final success criteria are achieved, the restored site will be evaluated between July and November. Permanent photo points will be set up for each quadrant. The monitoring will occur annually for five years. The monitoring period should include two separate years with bankfull events. Bankfull events will be verified using an installed crest gauge that will be inspected during each monitoring visit. If a bankfull event has not been documented by the end of the second year of monitoring, a mandatory quarterly check will be required. If there are not two bankfull events, the monitoring period maybe extended at the discretion of the Corps of Engineers, Raleigh Regulatory Field Office Project Manager and the 401-Wetlands Unit. Monitoring reports will be submitted during every year for years 1-5. 23 7.0 References Hall, Karen (2001). Recommended Native Plant Species for Stream Restoration in North Carolina.

This highly unstable • stream has been impacted by excessive sedimentation, intensive agricultural activity, the elimination of a riparian buffer, and the straightening of portions of t• the channel. The UT is fed by a linear wetland feature beginning upstream at the • outfall of a farm pond. The purpose of this project is to restore the site back to a naturally functioning stream system. The channel will be restored along its entire length to Wicker • Branch. The upper portion of the stream will be slightly relocated and appropriate pattern, dimension, and profile will be restored based on reference data gathered from local, similar stream systems. The lower reach will be reestablished by creating a channel with a proper cross-section and slope using • the same reference data as described above.

This highly unstable stream has been impacted by excessive sedimentation, intensive agricultural activity, the elimination of a riparian buffer, and the straightening of portions of the channel. The UT is fed by a linear wetland feature beginning upstream at the outfall of a farm pond. This project involves the restoration of the stream channel along its entire length to Wicker Branch. The upper portion of the stream will be slightly relocated and appropriate pattern, dimension, and profile will be restored based on reference data gathered from local, similar stream systems.

As a result of the restoration activities, total stream length within the restoration area will be increased from approximately 2,396 linear feet to 3, 000 linear feet. Approximately 7.5 acres of bottomland and riparian buffer will be protected with a permanent conservation easement. Invasive plant species will be removed and all restored areas will be planted with native vegetation to provide biological diversity. Stream banks will be stabilized using erosion matting, bare- root plantings, and bio-engineering. In stream structures (rock-vanes, constructed riffles, and log vanes) will be used to maintain grade, protect banks, and enhance bed form diversity. The purpose of this project is to restore fhe site back to a naturally functioning stream system. Benefits will include improved water quality by reducing sediment load through stabilization and by reducing nutrient input by the addition of forested riparian buffers. Ultimately, the restoration is being conducted to provide compensatory stream and wetland mitigation credits for the NCEEP in lieu mitigation fee program. It is anticipated that the project will provide functional uplift for the watershed as a whole. • - • Reviewed By: Date EEP Project Manager Conditional Approved By: Date For Division Administrator fHWq ^Check this box if there are outstand'mg issues Final Approval By: Date For Division Administrator FHWA Version 1.4, 8/18/05 -. ~ ..

Review of the Natural Heritage Program (NHP) database of documented occurrences did not reveal the presence of any of these species within aone- mile radius of the proposed mitigation site. • Carolina Heelsplitter (Lasmi~ona decorata) The Carolina heelsplitter is a medium-sized mussel with an ovate, trapezoidal shaped, greenish-brown to dark brown shell. This species has been reduced to six known • populations, two of which occur in Union County. The Carolina heelsplitter has been • found in a variety of substrates including mud, muddy sand, or muddy gravel along stable, well-shaded stream banks. The decline of the Carolina heelsplitter has been ~ attributed to a variety of factors including siltation and channelization due to agricultural ~ and forestry practices, road construction, impoundments and streambank scouring caused • by storm water runoff. The highly unstable stream proposed for restoration has been channelized for agricultural ~ purposes. The channel is incised and unstable with actively eroding beds and banks and S has been impacted by excessive sedimentation. Much of the area around the stream is • open, active agricultural field, void of any native vegetation and shade. Suitable habitat for the Carolina heelsplitter does not occur at this site. ~ No occurrences of the Carolina heelsplitter have been documented in the NHP database • within aone-mile radius of the proposed mitigation site and presence of this species has not been observed by KHA or EBX biologists. BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT. Michaux's Sumac (Rhus michauxir1 Michaux's sumac is a rhizomatous, densely hairy, deciduous shrub, usually 1 to 3 feet high. Small, greenish-yellow to white flowers usually occur from June to July. The fruit, a small, red drupe, is produced through the months of August to October. Michaux's sumac grows in sandy or rocky open woods and survives best in areas where some form of disturbance, such as fire, has provided an open area. Thirty one of the thirty six known extant populations exist in North Carolina, twelve of which occur on highway rights-of- way, roadsides, or on the edges of artificially maintained clearings. The entire 601 North property site has been under active, intensive agricultural use for an extended period of time. The site consists almost entirely of open field with only a few small pockets of wooded areas remaining. Site soils are predominantly moderately deep and moderately to excessively drained silt loam to silty clay loam. The frequent disturbances associated with the cultivation of crops across the site make this site unfavorable for Michaux's sumac. Suitable habitat for Michaux's sumac does not occur at this site. No occurrences of Michaux's sumac have been documented in the NHP database within a one-mile radius of the proposed mitigation site and presence of this species has not been observed by KHA or EBX biologists. BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT. Schweinitz's Sunflower (Helianthus schwein'tzii1 Schweinitz's sunflower is a perennial herb, usually 3 to 6 feet tall with yellow flowers which occur in late August to October. Schweinitz's sunflower is found in relatively open habitats such as roadsides, maintained rights-of--way, early successional fields, and woodland openings. Generally, Schweinitz's sunflower occurs on shallow, poor, clayey and/or rocky soils. Marginal habitat for Schweinitz's sunflower exists along the agricultural field edges at the 601 North property. Site soils are moderately deep and moderately to excessively drained silt loam to silty clay loam. The site is almost entirely cleared for crop cultivation. No occurrences of Schweinitz's sunflower have been documented in the NHP database within aone-mile radius of the proposed mitigation site and presence of this species has not been observed by KHA or EBX biologists during site investigations or plant surveys conducted in October 2006, while Schweinitz's sunflower is in bloom.

Box 33068 Raleigh, NC 27636-3068 Subject: 601 North Property Stream Restoration Site, Union County, North Carolina. Dear Ms. Lang: Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission have reviewed the subject document. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d) and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.). Kimley~Horn and Associates proposes to restore, using natural channel design, the entire length of an unnamed tributary to Wicker Branch in the Yadkin-Pee Dee River basin. Approximately 7.5 acres of bottomland and riparian buffer will be protected with a permanent conservation easement. Invasive plant species will be removed and restored areas will be planted with native vegetation. Stream banks will be stabilized using erosion matting, bare-root plantings, and bio-engineering. In-stream structures such as rock-vanes will be used to maintain grade, protect banks and enhance bed form diversity. There are records for the federal species of concern and state endangered Carolina creekshell (Yillosa vaughaniana), Savannah lilliput (Toxolasma pullis) and Atlantic pigtoe (Fusconaia masont~ in Lanes Creek downstream of the project site. Stream and wetland restoration projects often improve water quality and aquatic habitat. Provided measures are taken to minimize erosion and sedimentation from construction restoration activities, we do not anticipate the project to result in signifteant adverse impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources.

We have reviewed the information you presented and are providing the following comments in accordance with the provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661-667e), and section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) (Act). Project Description. According to the information provided, your client (Environmental Banc and Exchange, LLC) is proposing to conduct a complete stream restoration protect on an unnamed tributary to Wicker Branch. The purpose of the project is to restore the site back to a naturally functioning stream system. The upper portion of the stream will be relocated, and-the appropriate pattern, dimension, and profile will be restored based on reference data gathered from similar local stream systems. The lower reach will be reestablished by creating a channel with a proper cross-section and slope using the same reference data as previously described. Invasive plant species will be removed, and all restored areas will be replanted with native riparian vegetation: Stream banks will be stabilized using erosion-control matting, bare-root plantings, and bioengineering. As a result of the stream restoration activities, total stream length within the area will be increased from about 2,396 linear feet (lfj to about 3,000 lf, and about 7.50 acres of bottomland and riparian buffer will be protected with a permanent conservation easement. Federally Listed Species. Based on the project location and pictures obtained from the Union County GIS web site, there appears to be suitable habitat for the federally endangered Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schtiveinitzii). Your letter did not indicate whether surveys have been conducted for this or other raze plant species within the project impact area. Unless an area has been specifically surveyed for this listed species, a survey should be conducted to ensure that it is not inadvertently lost. Though we agree that Schweinitz's sunflower is not likely to occur in the disturbed agricultural fields or along the stream, we do believe potential suitable habitat exists along the edges of the fields and riparian buffer. These areas may not be included in the project plans, but they should be surveyed before any equipment/eonstruction staging or invasive plant eradication activities take place. Schweinitz's sunflower occurs in relatively open habitats-road, power line, and other maintained rights-of--way; early successional fields; forest ecotonal margins; forest clearings; etc. The species thrives in full sun but also grows in the light shade of open stands ofoak-pine-hickory. Schweinitz's sunflower generally occurs on soils characterized as moist to dryish~ clays, clay-loams, or sandy-clay loams that often have high gravel content. The- species is known from a variety of soil types, including Iredell (Fine, Montmorillonitic, Thermic Typic Hapluduff), Enon (Fine, Mixed, Thermic Ultic Hapludalf), and Cecil (Clayey, Kaolinitic, Thermic Typic Hapludult). Schweinitz's sunflower is difficult to identify at any time, but even more so outside the flowering season of late August to October, so we recommend that surveys for this species be conducted during this period. In accordance with the Act, it is the responsibility of the appropriate federal agency or its designated representative to review its activities or programs and to identify any such activities or programs that may affect endangered or threatened species or their habitats. If it is determined that the proposed activity may adversely affect any species federally listed as endangered or threatened, formal consultation with this office must be initiated. We recommend that you contact Ms. Linda Pearsall,. Director of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program, for further information about North Carolina's rare species and/or unique and rare habitat types located in the subject project areas. Her mailing address is Natural Heritage Program, North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, 1601 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1601. Project Recommendations.-Your letter did not mention the width of the riparian buffers that will be preserved restored along the stream and protected within the conservation easement. We recommend that riparian buffers (a minimum of 100 feet wide along perennial streams and 50 feet wide along intermittent streams) be created and/or maintained along all aquatic areas. Riparian buffers .provide travel corridors and habitat for wildlife displaced by development. In addition, riparian buffers protect water quality by stabilizing stream banks, filtering storm-water runoff, and providing habitat for aquatic and fisheries resources. We are pleased with this proposed restoration effort. However, at this stage and without more specifics about restoration plans, reference reaches, and stream design, it is difficult for us to fully assess and comment on the proposed project. We request the opportunity to be involved throughout the restoration process, review all future design plans, and make recommendations about the entire restoration design as more information becomes available. We are available to -assist with the selection of reference sites for the stream and riparian restoration designs and subsequent monitoring. As a measure of restoration success, we recommend sampling fish, benthic macroinvertebrates, and water quality before and after project completion. We appreciate the opportunity to provide these comments early in your planning efforts. Please keep us informed of the progress of this project. If we can be of further assistance or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Bryan Tompkins of our staff at 828/258-3939, Ext. 240.

July 20, 2006 Mr. Dale Suiter United States Fish and Wildlife Service P.O. Box 33726 Raleigh, North Carolina 27636-3726 Re: 601 North Property Stream Restoration Site Full Delivery Project Union County, North Carolina Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. is writing this letter on behalf of our client, Environmental Banc & Exchange, LLC, to request a no effect determination from your agency regarding a proposed stream and wetland mitigation project. The 601 North Property Stream Restoration Site is located 7 miles south of Monroe, Union County, North Carolina (Figure 1). The 601 North Property site contains an unnamed tributary (UT) to Wicker Branch. This highly unstable stream has been impacted by excessive sedimentation, intensive agricultural activity, the elimination of a riparian buffer, and the straightening of portions of the channel. The UT is fed by a linear wetl~d feature beginning upstream at the outfall of a farm pond. The purpose of this project is to restore the site back to a naturally functioning stream system. The channel will be restored along its entire length to Wicker Branch. The upper portion of the stream will be slightly relocated and. appropriate pattern, dimension, and profile will be restored based on reference data gathered from local, similar stream systems. The lower reach will be reestablished by creating a channel with a proper cross-section and slope using the same reference data as described above. As a result of the restoration activities, total stream length within the restoration area will be increased from approximately 2,396 linear feet to 3,000 linear feet. Approximately 7.5 acres of bottomland and riparian buffer will be protected with a permanent conservation easement. Invasive plant species will be removed and all restored areas will be planted with native vegetation to provide biological diversity. Stream banks will be stabilized using erosion matting, bare-root plantings, and bio-engineering. In stream structures (rock-vanes, constructed riffles, and log vanes) will be used to maintain grade, protect banks, and enhance bed form diversity. ^ TEL 919 677 2000 FAX 919 677 2050 ^ P.O. Box 33068 Raleigh, Norfh Carolina 27636-3068 ^ ~ ^ Kimley-Horn ~ and Associates, Inc. According to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, there are three endangered species and no threatened species potentially occurring in Union County. The endangered species are: the Carolina heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorata}, Michaux's sumac (Rhos michauxii), and Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii). Review of the Natural Heritage Program database of documented occurrences did not reveal the presence of any of the aforementioned species within aone-mile radius of the proposed mitigation site. The entire 601 North Property site has been under intensive agricultural use for an extended period of time. The frequent disturbance along the proposed restoration corridor makes it unlikely that any of the listed plant species occur in this area. The degraded condition of the channel makes it unlikely that the heelsplitter occurs in this stream system. Specifically, we would like information that the area described above • is not located in an officially designated wildlife refuge • will not affect listed threatened or endangered species or designated critical habitats; or will not jeopardize the continued existence of any proposed endangered or threatened species or likely to result in the destruction or adverse modification of proposed critical habitats, as determined by the Secretary of the Interior pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973.
