Dear Mr. Baumgartner:
The purpose of this letter is to provide the North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services
(NCDMS) with all comments generated by the North Carolina Interagency Review Team
(NCIRT) during the 30-day comment period for the Oak Hill Dairy Draft Mitigation Plan, which
closed on February 18, 2021. These comments are attached for your review.
Based on our review of these comments, we have determined that no major concerns
have been identified with the Draft Mitigation Plan, which is considered approved with this
correspondence. However, several minor issues were identified, as described in the attached
comment memo, which must be addressed in the Final Mitigation Plan.
The Final Mitigation Plan is to be submitted with the Preconstruction Notification (PCN)
Application for Nationwide permit approval of the project along with a copy of this letter. Issues
identified above must be addressed in the Final Mitigation Plan. All changes made to the Final
Mitigation Plan should be summarized in an errata sheet included at the beginning of the
document. If it is determined that the project does not require a Department of the Army permit,
you must still provide a copy of the Final Mitigation Plan, along with a copy of this letter, to the
USACE Mitigation Office at least 30 days in advance of beginning construction of the project.
Please note that this approval does not preclude the inclusion of permit conditions in the permit
authorization for the project, particularly if issues mentioned above are not satisfactorily
addressed. Additionally, this letter provides initial approval for the Mitigation Plan, but this does
not guarantee that the project will generate the requested amount of mitigation credit. As you
are aware, unforeseen issues may arise during construction or monitoring of the project that may
require maintenance or reconstruction that may lead to reduced credit.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter, and if you have any questions
regarding this letter, the mitigation plan review process, or the requirements of the Mitigation
Rule, please call me at 919-554-4884, ext 60.
Sincerely,
Kim Browning

RE: Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site

Response to NCIRT Comments during 30-day Mitigation Plan Review
USACE Action ID No: SAW-2019-00833
DWR Project ID: 7867
NCDMS Project No: 100120
Dear Ms. Browning:
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. (Wildlands) has reviewed the IRT's comments on the draft mitigation plan
and draft construction documents for the Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site (Site). We have made the
necessary revisions to the report and draft plans and we are submitting revised versions of the
documents along with this letter. Below are responses to each of the IRT's comments from the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers memo dated February 23, 2021. The original comments are provided below in
italics followed by our responses.
WRC COMMENTS, OLIVIA MUNZER& TRAVIS WILSON:
1. I'd like to see more forbs (i.e., pollinator species)in the seed mix.
Wildlands Response:To address this and other subsequent comments, Wildlands has made the
following adjustments to seed mix:
Riparian mix-Add Purple coneflower(Echinacea purpurea) at 1 lb/ac
Add common yarrow(Achillea millefolium) at 1 lb/ac
Remove Fox sedge (Carex vulpinoidea)
Wetland mix- Reduce smartweed (Polygonum pensylvanicum)to 0.5 lb/ac
Reduce common rush (Juncus effusus)to 1.5 lb/ac
Add Narrowleaf sunflower(Helianthus augustifolia) at 1 lb/ac
2. Cherrybark oak isn't known west of Mecklenburg. Consider an alternative.
Wildlands Response: We will substitute water oak(Quercus nigra).
3. In the buffer, the soil moisture may not be wet enough for OBL species, such as tag alder, and even
some FACW trees, such as swamp chestnut oak.

Wildlands Response:Tag alder has been removed from the open area buffer zone and will only be
used in wetland 1 which is the wettest area of the Site. Elderberry and spicebush are being
increased in other areas. See our response to comment 5 as it relates to swamp chestnut oak.
4. Seems like a high %of sycamore.
Wildlands Response: Please see the revised planting table and the response to comment 5;
the % of sycamore has been reduced to 15%.
5. Since the target communities include mesic-oak-hickory, add some hickories, white oak, scarlet oak,
etc.
Wildlands Response:The following changes to the planting plan address this comment,the two
prior, and later related comments by WRC and others:
• Open area buffer zone-
o Reduce sycamore to 15%
o Remove swamp chestnut oak
o Add bitternut hickory (Carya cordiformis) at 5%
o Add sourwood (Oxydendrum arborem) at 5%
o Add white oak (Quercus alba) at 5%
o Remove tag alder/replace with elderberry
• Wetland Planting Zone
o Substitute water oak(Quercus nigra) for cherrybark oak
Both bitternut hickory and white oak grow in a range of soils that include bottomland and
streamside areas. Both of these would also be climax species for the oak hickory community type.
6. Do not plant tall fescue or orchardgrass as these are invasive sp.
Wildlands Response: Wildlands has often used this combination of seeding for rehabilitation
seeding in pasture and disturbed areas outside of the conservation easement. Part of our
commitment to landowners is reestablishing stands of grass on disturbed areas outside of the
easement and these species are recommended by NCDEQ and USDA for this purpose—at this time
we rely on this approach, have not seen any negative impacts to easements and cannot agree to
halt the use of these species.
7. That specific rye(Secale cereale)is allelopathic.
Wildlands Response: Secale cereale is specified in the ESC manual, and the manual goes on to state
that the alternative, annual ryegrass, is not recommended for use in NC due to it being
overcompetitive. Wildlands welcomes and would consider using suggested alternatives.

8. HDPE is shown for one of the culverts; WRC prefers the use of CMP or RCP for this type of crossing.
Wildlands Response:The culverts in question are replacement of culverts outside of the easement
area. These culverts, in their current condition, are extremely steep and also in poor condition and
at risk of failure. No commitment to replace these was made as part of the project proposal. The
proposed culverts constitute a significant improvement for both stability and passage but are not
credited activities nor activities that require permitting(they are replacement of existing culverts
with the same size and footprint replacements). We will consider this comment when ordering
materials, and intend at this time to use CMP or RCP unless unacceptable to the landowner on
whose property these improvements are proposed. Given the circumstances,we are not committing
to a certain pipe material for these and the landowner must approve any changes we propose.
USACE COMMENTS, KIM BROWNING:
1. Design Sheet 4.2: The legend of symbols does not include the triangles shown on the drawing. I
assume these areas are the BMP planting call-out.
Wildlands Response:The BMP hatch has been added to the planting sheets (Sheets 4.2—4.5) and
the BMP planting scheme was added to the Planting List (Sheet 4.1).
2. UT1B, page 20:Given that this reach has a Medium NCSAM score, a 15 ft buffer on one side,
intermittent cattle access and contains kudzu, preservation is not appropriate for this reach. A lower
level of enhancement at 8:1 would be more appropriate. Please update credit tables.
Wildlands Response:The report and references have been updated to reflect this suggestion that
UT1B be credited as an enhancement II reach at a ratio of 8:1. As a result,two photo points have
been included as part of the monitoring components for UT1B which are reflected in Table 30 and
Figure 11.
3. Section 3.3 is very helpful in understanding current conditions. The inclusion of photos in section
3.3.2 would be welcome, to include photos of the berms that have been built up as a result of
dredging.
Wildlands Response:An image of a hillshaded QL1 LiDAR surface (shown below)was added to
Section 6.7.4 (Existing Wetland Manipulation and Drainage)to illustrate areas of remnant berm piles
located in the lower valley along the mainstem of Oak Hill Creek.

4. Section 5.0& Table 15:I like the wording of the goals and objectives in this section;However, Table
15 discusses the functions supported, including the physiochemical and biological uplift. These are
benefits that are presumed and will not be measured by monitoring. Unless you intend to
demonstrate actual uplift in these areas, 1 recommend that this section be reworded that uplift in
these areas is implied.
Wildlands Response:The following statement was added to the paragraph prefacing Table 15 to
qualify that potential benefits of biological and physicochemical functional uplift are implied: "It
should be noted that potential benefits resulting in the uplift of biological and physicochemical
functions are presumed since these functions will not be directly measured during monitoring."
5. Section 6.6.9 and Design Sheet 6.3 discusses replacement of culverts. On Sheet 2.15 it appears that
these crossings are outside the project area. Please note that if a new culvert is being installed in an
area that did not previously have a crossing, is outside the project easement, or if the culvert will be
larger and therefore have a larger impact, a Department of the Army Permit may be required for this
crossing as it would not be covered under the NWP-27. Since it appears that these culvert
replacements are an integral part of the design for UT2 and UT3, USACE considers these part of this
project; therefore, you may submit the NWP-14 permit application along with the NWP-27 if it helps
expedite the permitting process. Or as an alternative, you may submit the permit for the culverts to
the Gaston County USACE PM.
Wildlands Response:The four new culverts are proposed on Sheets 2.14& 2.15 & 6.3. Sheet 6.3
depicts three of these (pipes#1-3). Pipes#2-3 are replacement of drainage pipes on ephemeral
drainages and therefore do not require permitting. Pipe#1 is replacement of an existing pipe in a
perennial channel (UT3). Sheet 2.14 depicts replacement of an existing pipe in a perennial channel
(UT2). The replacements on UT2 & UT3 are in the same location (footprint), and of the same size
(length) as the existing pipes. If these activities were stand alone, we would typically consider this a
4

non-reporting situation, or otherwise a NW3 maintenance request. We will work with USACE to
adequately permit these as they recommend but consider the comment largely not applicable.
6. Pages 8, 11 & 16:It's concerning that runoff from the dairy waste lagoon and cattle feedlot currently
outlet directly into the stream. The addition of the BMPs will be important for filtering runoff(thank
you for the detail in Section 6.8). Is there currently a potential violation of State water quality rules?
Without touring the dairy operation it's difficult to discern whether the BMPs will address the
underlying problem.Although the lagoon has only over-topped the dam once, a grassed waterway
seems inadequate to filter the runoff from the lagoon and adjacent fields.Additionally, does the
landowner spray the adjacent fields with lagoon nutrients?A more thorough explanation of land use
practices would be helpful to understand the operation better. If the fields are sprayed, please
include a waste management spray map to ensure that proper setbacks from the buffer and stream
are being implemented. a. Page 36 states that it may take several years to a decade before BMP
capacity is reduced such that performance suffers. Once the site is transferred to Stewardship, will
the landowner be responsible for maintenance of the BMPs?Please address this in Section
Wildlands Response:The lagoon is a no discharge facility designed for the 25-year 24-hour event or
greater. It is not piped and has no discharge to streams, wetlands or floodplain.The cattle "feedlot"
is merely a feeding area where hay is put out for cattle in the pasture. In the last two years, the dairy
has added a large metal roofed barn for feeding and milking, expanding capacity over their original
smaller wooden barn, and reducing the need to feed some of their herd outdoors in the feeding
area in question. Wildlands has no reason to believe that there are any regulatory violations
associated with the Site, but at the same time recognized a benefit to having treatment of the field
draining the outdoor feeding area, and a backup system for the lagoon in place as provided by the
proposed BMPs. The dairy operation is registered and covered under the cattle waste management
system general permit(see response to EPA comment 3 for details). Under this permit no discharge
is permitted except by an event exceeding the design storm (25-year 24-hour event). Presumably,
the overtopping event mentioned in the report, which is the only event in a period of many decades,
falls under that caveat.The facility has developed and maintains a Certified Animal Waste
Management Plan consistent with all applicable regulatory requirements and standards. Land
application is primarily on a separate location and application records and compliance with
standards are part of facility compliance, presumably reviewed by the state during Site review(last
completed on 12/21/20).
These BMPs are designed with volume storage and stabilized outlets that disperse flow with the
long-term intent being that they serve as flow distributing filter strips that augment the wooded
buffer being established. Additional land beyond the required buffer have been obtained for this
purpose. While volume storage "performance" may be reduced over time, overall treatment is
likely to continue to be effective given that vegetated filter strips have been shown to provide
effective as pollutant removal practices.
BMP Maintenance: No long-term maintenance of the BMPs is anticipated. As stated on page 39,the
intent is to observe and fine-tune BMP function as necessary during monitoring such that the
practices are not eroding and are vegetating and spreading out flow as intended.
Some of the language in Section 6.8 of the mitigation plan has been refined to address various
comments with regards to BMPs and BMP maintenance.

7. Section 3.3.1: Why are UT2 and UT3 not being proposed for credit?Is it because there is a concern
with channel instability with flood events? Due to concerns with aquatic species passage, the use of
RCP is preferrable to HDPE.
Wildlands Response:There is no concern with channel instability. From inception, UT2 and UT3
have always been proposed for no credit because they are extensions of these streams to the
relocated mainstem and Wildlands did not want the relocation of Oak Hill Creek to be viewed as a
self-serving way to increase credit generation. For consistency with expectations set earlier in the
project we do not intend to pursue credit for UT2 &3 on this project.
Wildlands will use CMP or RCP in lieu of HDPE, but only if this is acceptable to the non-participating
landowner who is allowing this work to be performed. Any pipe replacement on these tributaries
will be a vast improvement over the current pipes which are much steeper and some of which have
stability and longevity concerns.
8. Section 6.7:As a follow-up to our phone conversation February 5, please provide an updated Figure 9
showing the different wetland approaches.Additionally, please label the wetlands to coincide with
the Soils Investigation Map in Figure A.
Wildlands Response: Wetland approaches have been updated in Figure 9 and they have also been
labeled to conform with the Soils Investigation Map in Figure A.
9. Thank you for the updated grading sheets and revised boundaries as a result of our phone
conversation;However, some of the follow-up email was a bit confusing, especially the discussion of
the map. We acknowledge that some changes were made to address concerns but didn't necessarily
change all the areas we discussed. Please include this correspondence and updated figures in the
final mitigation plan. If monitoring data suggests that the wetlands are not on a trajectory for
success, we may require a reverification of jurisdictional limits in MY7,prior to the final credit
release.
Wildlands Response: We understand that when wetland criteria is not met, particularly in later
monitoring years,that additional data may be necessary to establish the boundary between areas
meeting criteria and areas not meeting. We hold the position that this should only apply in obvious
areas of underperformance since reverification of jurisdictional limits cannot serve to expand
credited wetlands but only reduce the credited area. We have often installed additional gages or
conducted abbreviated evaluations to this end.
10. Please include an additional wetland gauge and veg plot in the creation area around the vicinity of
UT3.
Wildlands Response: One wetland gauge and one mobile veg plot was added in the wetland
creation area around the vicinity of UT3 and can be seen in the updated Monitoring Components
Map (Figure 11)
Table 29:Several areas were noted to contain invasive species, such as Chinese privet, bamboo,
Japanese honeysuckle,Japanese knotweed, English ivy, marsh dewflower, multiflora rose and kudzu.
6

Please include a performance standard that addresses invasive control with levels no more than 5%
of the easement, and no tolerance for kudzu. This will need to be maintained offsite as well.
Wildlands Response: Wildlands is already in the process of treating invasives and is committed to
successful management of this challenge on the site. In Appendix 8, Wildlands agrees to manage
invasives to ensure the survival of woody species and a threshold of ensuring that no more than 1%
of the planted acreage is at risk from invasives species proliferation.This is a robust commitment-
certainly if 5%of the acreage was covered with kudzu or knotweed,then greater than 1%of the
planted acreage would be affected. We have concerns about agreeing to new standards that must
be measured, tabulated, and which may not prove attainable for given species such as marsh
dewflower(note that no adverse effects have been documented as it relates to woody species
establishment when it comes to marsh dewflower proliferation). We request that the Corps
reconsider this additional requirement, and we acknowledge and understand the lack of tolerance
for kudzu. Likewise, we understand the need to treat invasives offsite at our discretion in order to
manage future on-site infestation and plan to do so.
We have added to the Invasive Species Plan in Appendix 8 that with the exception of marsh
dewflower Wildlands will target a treatment level such that invasive species coverage is below a
threshold of 5%for the Site at closeout.
11. Appendix 10:If BMP maintenance is anticipated, please update this section.
Wildlands Response: No maintenance is anticipated;the response to comment 6 addresses BMP
maintenance in more detail. EPA Comment 11 pertains to this as well.
12. Figure 11:Please correct the Wetland Rehabilitation ratio from 1:5 to 1.5:1.
Wildlands Response: Figures 10 and 11 have been updated accordingly.
EPA Comments, Todd Bowers:
1. Section 3.2/Page 5:Arundinaria gigantea, giant cane, was noted on-site. Was there any discussion or
consideration of transplanting this species and using it some locations such as in the vicinity of UT2,
UT3 or within the BMPs?
Wildlands Response:Arundinaria gigantea is not a plant species that Wildlands has significant
experience transplanting on mitigation sites and questions remain on how successful it might be
after transplanting. Likewise, concerns have been raised about monocultures developing if
transplanting is highly successful. For these reasons, discussion of transplanting Arundinaria
gigantea has not been included in the Mitigation Plan or proposed on the Site.
2. Section 3.3/Page 13: The NCSID form for UT1B "upper"only scores 15.5 here for the"intermittent"
portion. This is below the score of 19 normally utilized to denote intermittent streams. Please note if
best professional judgement if the score is to be overridden.
Wildlands Response:The score on the NCSID form for UT1B Upper was calculated incorrectly and
omitted the score from "Section C. Biology" of the assessment. When the Biology score is added to
7

the assessment,the total points sum to 21.5 and scores as an intermittent stream.The NCSID form
has been corrected and is located in Appendix 3.
3. Section 4.0/Page 17:Is there a Clean Water Act Section 402 NPDES permit associated with the
adjacent cattle operation?
Wildlands Response:As summarized in table below,the cattle operation (Eaker Dairy, Inc.) has an
active Cattle Waste Management System General Permit.The permit number is AWC36004 and
expires in 2024. Records indicate that it was last inspected on 12/21/20. Please also refer to our

4. Table 16/Page 20:Preservation is the proposed approach for UT1B and the mitigation activities
associated with this reach are quite extensive. How is preservation justified?1 am also concerned
with the rather narrow buffer along the right bank that I am unclear as to how this was derived as
appropriate.
Wildlands Response:The narrow buffer along the right bank was indicated by easement figures at
the proposal stage based on negotiated landowner easement conditions. It was deemed preferable
to obtain some protection for this area and settle for a narrow buffer. As noted in USACE Browning
comment 2, multiple activities are required in this area. Per suggestions from USACE and DWR,
UT1B has been designated a low-level enhancement(Ell) reach at an 8:1 credit ratio.The mitigation
plan has been updated accordingly.
8

5. Table 16/Page 21:Please add ratios for wetland re-establishment and creation.
Wildlands Response:Table 16 has been updated accordingly.
6. Section 6.6.8/Page 31: The 15-foot easement for UT1B is only for minimum crediting.At 10:1 this
needs to be reduced further(30%?) to account for the thin buffer along the right bank. I remain
dubious about crediting this mostly intermittent reach at the preservation ratio even at 10:1,
however since UT 2 and UT3 are being built for no credit this may provide balance in crediting for the
site. I may have missed some discussions with the IRT that could shed light on this.
Wildlands Response: USACE has suggested UTB1 be designated as a low-level enhancement reach
at an 8:1 credit ratio and the mitigation plan has been updated accordingly to reflect this suggestion.
Normal enhancement for this level of enhancement may be in the 4:1 range based on the proposed
activities. Wildlands is not proposing credit for UT2 & UT3.
7. Section 6.9/Page 37:Please correlate the target community types with the Planting List Planting
Zones of Table 28.
Wildlands Response:The Species correlating to target communities have been added to the
beginning of Section 6.9 for reference to the species in Table 28.
8. Table 30/Page 42:I am a bit uncomfortable with no monitoring proposed for UT2 and UT3 even if no
credit is being sought. These reaches should have some minimum amount of monitoring (initial
longitudinal profile would be a good start; visual assessments are a must) to ensure they are stable
and not contributing any adverse effects towards Oak Hill Creek. I also recommend including a
monitoring component to ensure the BMPs are functioning as proposed.
Wildlands Response: Footnote 6 has been added to Table 30 to clarify additional visual assessment
requirements for UT2, UT3, and the proposed BMPs:
"6. Visual assessment to include UT2 and UT3 as well as photos of BMP inlets and outlets for the as-
built and MY1 reports."
A topographic survey of UT2 & UT3 will be performed as part of the as-built and will serve as a
baseline. The total vertical drop from these tributaries to the mainstem channel is only 1' and grade
control riffles are proposed—as such, detailed longitudinal profile data is not judged to be necessary
to track vertical stability.
9. Table 32/Page 45:Reiterating my misgivings for 10:1 preservation credit for an intermittent stream
with thin riparian buffer.
Wildlands Response: Noted, please see prior responses related to the updating of UT1B from a
preservation reach (10:1 credit ratio)to an enhancement II reach (8:1 credit ration).There is
considerable work required and we believe that the proposed credit is consistent with the level of
work proposed which may otherwise garner a higher ratio with a wider buffer in place.
9

10. Figure 9:Please add ratios for wetland re-establishment and creation. Please add ratios for stream
work. The ditch legend color differences are not readily apparent on the map.
Wildlands Response: Figure 9 has been updated to include: ratios for wetland re-establishment and
creation, stream crediting ratios, and revised symbology for ditches proposed to be filled for
clarification.
11. Appendix 10:Recommend adding BMPs to the maintenance plan even if they will likely not need any
upkeep to keep them functioning properly.
Wildlands Response: USACE responses to comments 6 & 12 address BMP maintenance.
12. General Note:Are the fences for the site to exclude cattle corresponding with the conservation
easement boundaries?Are fences to be installed along the internal crossing boundaries as depicted
in Sheets 2.2 and 2.10?
Wildlands Response:A fencing plan has been added to the Planset depicting planned locations for
fencing and gates at the Site (see Sheet 6.4 in Revised Planset). Note that landowners have not
decided with certainty if they will continue to graze the right side of UT1.They reserve the right to
accomplish cattle exclusion from the conservation easement via a method other than fencing(e.g.
removal). Gates may be moved or resized at the designer's discretion.
13. General Note:recommend adding a legend for BMP planting zones and providing a species list for
these zones.
Wildlands Response: See response to comment 1, USACE Kim Browning above.
14. Sheet 4.1 Planting List:Recommend adding target plant communities to correlate with planting
zones. Recommend adding plant list for the BMP planting zone.
Wildlands Response:The species correlating to plant communities have been added to the
beginning of Section 6.9 of the Mitigation Plan.
Notes for which species should be planted in the BMP areas are now included on the Planting List
Sheet in the Planset (Sheet 4.1). Planting is specified as herbaceous plugs and wetland seed mix
within the basin, and livestakes and wetland seed mix along the banks. Sheet 5.3 provides a detail
for the BMP and serves as a guide on the specific locations within the BMP where plugs and
livestakes should be planted.
DWR Comments, Erin Davis:
1. DMS Comments Page 2—DWR shares DMS'concern about the 10-ft building setback from the
proposed easement. Have there been discussions with the landowner and DEQ Stewardship
specifically regarding this deviation from the recommended 15-ft setback and any implications for
long-term management/potential future encroachment requests?
Wildlands Response: DMS has reviewed this with their Stewardship staff and they have indicated
that Stewardship is OK with the easement as drawn in this case.The landowner is being reminded
10

that the clearance on the easement is tight in this area and that future encroachment will not be
permitted for building-related activities.
2. DMS Comments Page 5—DWR recommends adding a few alternate species to the planting list for
review and approval in the Final Mitigation Plan,particularly if they are a "more suitable plant
species for a community".
Wildlands Response: Wildlands has added community appropriate species in the course of
addressing other comments. As necessary, percentages will be adjusted and if required additional
alternate species will be reviewed with the IRT for approval prior to substitution.
3. Page 2, Section 3.1 —DWR appreciates the level of detail provided, including descriptions of historic,
existing and future watershed land use.
Wildlands Response: Comment noted.
4. Page 12, UT1 —DWR supports removal of black walnut clusters onsite since we have observed
projects where they have inhibited the establishment of high restoration value planted species.
Wildlands Response: Comment noted. In doing research on walnut toxicity, it appears that many of
the trees and shrubs proposed for planting, particularly some of the more dominant species such as
river birch and sycamore, are tolerant of its allelopathic qualities. Also,the chemical (Juglone)that
has leached out via leaf litter as well as the roots takes several years to fully break down. We
anticipate removing many of the walnut clusters but do not consider complete removal imperative
for long term success of the project.
5. Page 16, Section 3.5—DWR appreciates the level of detail provided in this section, as well as efforts
made to have the stream crossings as internal easement breaks, collocate crossings and remove one
of the OH utility lines. Please confirm that the sewer easement can be internal to the project.Also, is
there any anticipated NCDOT maintenance for the culverts under Roy Eaker Road and Robert Road?
Wildlands Response: DMS' standard conservation easement template allows for this under
paragraph P which is referenced below. This carries the additional benefit that cattle must be
excluded from the internal crossing area.
11

P. Crossing Areas. "Grantor reserves the right to the Internal Crossing Areas as shown on
the "Conservation Easement Survey for the State of North Carolina NCDEQ: Division of
Mitigation Services, __ Site, SP D File No. XX-XX, DMS Site ID No.
Property of and recorded in the
County,North Carolina Register of Deeds at Plat Book Page for the following purposes:
• Motorized vehicle crossing;
• Utility crossings to include overhead and buried electrical,water lines and sewer lines;
• Cattle crossing so long as fencing across a culvert in the Crossing Area prevents cattle
access to the stream,or a ford crossing is kept gated and cattle are only present in the stream
only under supervision while rotating cattle between pastures;and/or
• Installation,maintenance,or replacement of a culvert or ford crossing.
The Grantor may request permission to vary from the above restrictions for good cause
shown, provided that any such request is not inconsistent with the purposes of this Conservation
Easement, and the Grantor obtains advance written approval from the Division of Mitigation
Services, 1652 Mail Services Center,Raleigh,NC 27699-1652.
Wildlands is not aware of any anticipated maintenance of these structures. At Robert Road, there
will be no fencing on the right bank of the stream and the last length of stream is uncredited due to
insufficient width. NCDOT would have to coordinate access beyond their right-of-way if required for
maintenance at Roy Eaker Road or Robert Road.
6. Page 27, Section 6.5—Again, DWR appreciates the site specific discussion presented, including bank
slope adjustment and wetland credit area setback in anticipation of levy formation.
Wildlands Response: Comment noted.
7. Page 31, Section 6.6.8—Based on the UT1B reach description on Page 13, DWR does not believe the
reach reflects the high quality condition appropriate for preservation credit. Given the current reach
condition and potential uplift from the work proposed, DWR would support an enhancement credit
ratio of 8:1.
Wildlands Response: Wildlands has revised the mitigation plan accordingly to reflect that UT1B be
credited at an 8:1 ratio as enhancement II—see response to USACE comment 2.
8. Page 31, Section 6.6.9—DWR would not oppose crediting the proposed UT2 and UT3 extension
reaches since it will result in additional instream habitat and the work is associated with restoring
Oak Hill Creek to its proper valley position. If credit is pursued, additional baseline information and
proposed monitoring should be included in the Final Mitigation Plan.Also, please note that
depending on the final UT2 and UT3 culvert design (location and total impact), a separate 401 Water
Quality Certification may be needed to cover the proposed work.
Wildlands Response: Please refer to the response to USACE comment 7 related to the omission of
crediting for UT2 and UT3 and USACE comment 5 related to proposed culverts which are all
replacement structures with no additional jurisdictional impacts beyond the original footprint of the
existing structures.
12

9. Page 35, Section 6.7.5—a. Was levy formation resulting in reduced overbank flow a consideration in
proposed wetland design and proposed uplift?Does the setback of the wetland credit areas take into
consideration the drainage effect along proposed Priority 2 stream sections?
Wildlands Response:The primary factor controlling wetland and floodplain hydrology at the Site are
the incised streams and human manipulation of the floodplain topography(ditch construction and
berm/sidecast pile areas). Natural levy formation may play a role in stream incision at the Site, but
was not considered to be a more important factor than human manipulation of the stream
channels. All wetland credit areas were setback from proposed stream channels and Priority 2 areas
to avoid the drainage effect from those areas.
b. Also, similar to P2 bench cuts, DWR is concerned with soil development and associated vegetation
establishment in proposed wetland grading areas. Please include a discussion on soil restoration
addressing compaction and poor soil quality.
Wildlands Response: Wildlands' wetland grading specifications typically require compaction to be
addressed upon completion of wetland grading. Depending on available equipment, wetland areas
are loosened/roughened with a field disk or chisel plow. Poor soil quality areas are noted during
construction and are typically addressed with soil amendments or the harvesting and re-application
of topsoil if deemed necessary by the Designer.
c. Based on DWR's field notes from the IRT site walk, we questioned whether UT1/Wetland 2 was
eligible for reestablishment credit based on current soil characteristics. Based on the bright soil color
and lack of indicators observed, we felt that creation was a more appropriate credit type.
Additionally, a substantial area of this wetland is proposed to be graded beyond 12 inches. DWR
supports the hillside toe area associated with the F3 indicator borings as reestablishment, and the
remaining area as creation.
Wildlands Response:The existing floodplain topography in this location, soil boring data, and aerial
photography all suggest that wetlands existed at the original floodplain surface prior to
manipulation with this data and interpretation noted in the mitigation plan and subsequent agency
dialogue that has been added to Appendix 7.This is the rationale for proposing reestablishment
crediting where deeper excavation is necessary.The presence of brighter soils in the upper profile
lead agency representative to indicate that new evidence/justification would need to be presented
to support an approach other than creation.
We believe that our subsequent soil investigation, research and analysis support the original
proposed approach, in this instance, and point to specific anthropogenic impacts that led to the
current Site conditions where hydric soils have been buried.This grading also supports a holistic
stream valley grading approach that will improve stream stability by establishing a natural floodplain
width consistent with less altered floodplain areas within the corridor. As such, we request that the
entire area proposed remain eligible for reestablishment crediting.
d. DWR also has concerns with the potential functional uplift associated with Wetland 4, given that it
is adjacent to an enhancement I reach with a P2 section (hydroperiod concern) and a substantial
area will be graded beyond 12 inches(veg establishment concern).
13

Wildlands Response: Wetland soil indicators currently exist within the proposed wetland 4
boundary.The design will raise the thalweg of the stream in this area and increase stream access to
the floodplain when compared to existing conditions. Poor soil quality areas will be noted during
construction and are typically addressed with soil amendments or the re-application of topsoil if
deemed necessary by the Designer.
10. Page 36, Section 6.8—Given the adjacent land use, the proposed BMPs are critical project features.
DWR appreciates that the easement was expanded to accommodate BMP 2. Please clearly state if
the designed BMPs will require maintenance beyond the monitoring period. If so, consultation with
DEQ Stewardship is needed.
Wildlands Response: No maintenance will be required for BMPs beyond initial adaptive
management as necessary during the monitoring period.The long-term function of these BMPs, if or
when volume storage is reduced, will be as vegetated filter strips.
11. Page 37, Section 6.9—In addition to early successional species, DWR would like to see the inclusion
of climax species from the selected target communities in the planting plan.
Wildlands Response: Please see the updated planting plan based on this and other comments.
12. Page 39, Section 6.10—DWR values the addition of this section. DWR is also concerned with the
presence of so many invasive species onsite, particularly bamboo, kudzu and Japanese knotweed.
Please expand on your discussion of risks associated with these invasives for site management and
long-term functional uplift.
Wildlands Response: We have added additional discussion about the risks and proposed risk
reduction activities to be performed in Section 6.10. Beyond monitoring, Wildlands continues to
invest significant resources into Stewardship staff and subconsultants to address these types of
concerns.
13. Appendix 8— We appreciate the level of detail provided for the proposed species treatments.
Bamboo, cattail and marsh dewflower were also mentioned in the plan narrative, please add these
species to the appendix table.
Wildlands Response: Bamboo has been added to the table. Cattail is not a primary target species for
treatment except in project streams although it may be treated to reduce the likelihood of a
monoculture establishing and/or due to impacts to targeted density of woody plant growth.
Methods will be determined if treatment becomes necessary. Marsh dewflower is synonymous with
Asian spiderwort. We have had limited success treating this species despite repeated treatments.
14. Figure 11 —
a. DWR understands that 16 veg plots are proposed to cover the 19.9 acre planted area.
However, we request two additional permanent veg plots:1) within the UT1 Reach 1 wetland
creation area and 2) within the Wetland 4 (Oak Hill Creek Reach 1).
Wildlands Response:As requested, two permanent veg plots were added in the designated
wetland locations on Reaches 1 of UT1 and Oak Hill Creek.
14

b. DWR requests photos of the BMP inlets and outlets in the as-built and MY1 report.
Wildlands Response:As stated in a response to a prior comment, Footnote 6 has been added to
Table 30 to clarify additional visual assessment requirements for the proposed BMPs (and UT2
and UT3):"6.Visual assessment to include UT2 and UT3 as well as photos of BMP inlets and
outlets for the as-built and MY1 reports."
15. Sheet 2.2& 2.10—Please callout proposed easement breaks and show culvert locations on profiles.
Wildlands Response: Callouts have been added to profiles indicating easement break stationing.
Culverts have been added to profiles to depict location and size.
16. Sheet 2.4& 2.8—Please add a callout for the BMP outlet structure.
Wildlands Response: Callouts have been added to Sheets 2.4 and 2.8 indicating the approximate
locations of the BMP outlet structure.
17. Sheet 2.8—Does the rectangle grading line along the UT1 left bank near Station 208+50 denote a
concentrated flow connection?Do you anticipate any riprap placement in this area?
Wildlands Response:This was an errant line related to design sketching not meant to be included in
the planset. However,this area is expected to receive much of the outlet flow from the nearby BMP.
At Oak Hill Dairy, Wildlands prefers to use broad and low slope conveyances from the BMP to the
stream to encourage as diffuse of flow across the buffer as possible.These conveyances are
expected to be stabilized with a combination of vegetation and erosion control matting. If matting
and vegetation prove to be inadequate, some riprap may be used to stabilize select areas as a
secondary option.
18. Sheet 3.1 —3.4—Please add callouts for existing ditches and known drain tile locations. If possible,
please also call out approximate locations of proposed wetland ditch plugs.
Wildlands Response: Figure 2 shows existing ditch locations at the Site and Figure 9 shows which
ditches are proposed for removal or plugging and which ditches will remain in place.A note
indicating to remove all subsurface drains was added to Sheet 3.4.The Wetland Ditch Plug detail is
meant to guide the backfilling of ditches or relic channels at the Site and will be applied throughout
these areas rather than in specific locations.
19. Sheet 4.1 —a. Based on past projects, has there been any concern with seeding Polygonum
pensylvanicum due to its height(up to 4 FT)and establishment rate inhibiting/competing with
planted woody stems?b. DWR requests that no species(excluding live stakes)account for more than
20 percent of a specified planting zone in order to promote diversity(e.g. Sycamore).
Wildlands Response:This is a good point; we have seen it get tall and compete in certain
settings and have reduced the percentage. For the wetland seed mix, Polygonum was
reduced in favor of a pollinator species to help address WRC comment 1.
15

20. Sheet 5.4—DWR appreciates the inclusion of the Floodplain Roughening detail, including the callout
for LWD placement.
Wildlands Response: Comment noted.
21. Sheet 5.6— Wetland Ditch Plug—Does this detail also apply to existing/relic channel plugs?If
channel plugs are proposed, we would like to see approximate locations shown on the plan view
drawings.
Wildlands Response: The Wetland Ditch Plug detail is meant to guide the backfilling of ditches or
relic channels at the Site and will be applied throughout these areas rather than in specific locations.
Wildlands wants to ensure that contractors are using suitable backfill material, removing organic
debris from the channels, and compacting the backfill material properly.
22. Design Plan—Please include an overview fencing plan showing proposed fence and existing fence to
remain, as well as approximate locations of anticipated gates.
Wildlands Response: See comment 12,Todd Bowers EPA above.

1.0 Introduction
The Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site (Site) is in Gaston County approximately 2 miles northeast of
Cherryville and 7 miles southwest of Lincolnton (Figure 1).The Site is within the NC Division of
Mitigation Services (DMS) Lower Indian Creek targeted local watershed Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC)
03050102050010 and the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR) Subbasin 03-08-35, and will provide
stream and wetland credits in the Catawba 03 Expanded Service Area.The project proposes to restore,
enhance, and preserve impaired streams. Wetland re-establishment is proposed to restore a stream-
wetland complex, and best management practices (BMPs) are proposed at points of concentrated
agricultural runoff.The existing streams are presented in Figure 2.The work proposed on the Site will
provide 4,618.933 stream credits and 7.680 riparian wetland credits and will be protected in perpetuity
by a 20.4-acre conservation easement.

2.0 Basin Characterization and Site Selection
The Site is in the Catawba 03 Expanded Service Area, which is composed of a mix of forested land (47%),
agricultural land (30%), urban areas (18%). Forested land is predominantly located within the upper
portion of the basin, while the agricultural land and urban areas are more concentrated to the central
and lower portions of the basin, respectively. The major developed areas include Hickory, Newton,
Lincolnton, Gastonia, and Belmont, and the main roadways consist of US-321, 1-40, and 1-85. Indian
Creek,the receiving waters for the Site which is shown in Figure 1, is 303(d) listed as impaired for
exceeding the narrative criteria to protect aquatic life in fresh water, which means the water is not
suitable for aquatic life propagation and maintenance of biological integrity. Multiple conservation and
watershed planning documents outline water quality goals and objectives for the broader Catawba River
basin and the smaller Indian Creek basin as summarized below:
• The 2007 (amended 2013) Catawba River Basin Restoration Priorities (RBRP) lists restoring
impaired waters by removing conditions causing sediment impairments and improving
management to reduce direct cattle impacts to streams as goals for the watershed. Indian Creek
is discussed specifically in the RBRP with the priority to improve agricultural non-point source
pollution on this rural creek.
• The 2015 North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission's (NCWRC) Wildlife Action Plan (WAP)
notes that sedimentation, loss of riparian woody vegetation, water withdrawals, channelization
and/or relocation, point source pollution, and nutrient loading are the primary causes of stream
habitat degradation in the Catawba River basin.
• The 2008-2010 Indian Creek and Howards Creek Local Watershed Plan (LWP) documents
identified major functional stressors in the watershed as channelization and stream dredging;
incised channels and unstable stream banks; degraded and deforested riparian buffers;
Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No. 100120 Page 1 March 22, 2021

degraded wetlands; livestock access to riparian buffers and streams; and fecal coliform and
nutrient inputs.
o The Site is located in subwatershed 1-14, as defined in the Indian Creek and Howards
Creek LWP. Subwatershed 1-14 is specifically prioritized in the document as being a good
candidate for agricultural BMPs.
o The Site was identified in the Indian Creek and Howards Creek LWP Project Atlas as R-
104 (Oak Hill Creek and UT1). R-104 was ranked in the highest priority category(Tier 1)
for a potential stream restoration project in the Indian Creek watershed with the
recommendation of bank stabilization, channel realignment and reconnection with the
floodplain, and riparian buffer restoration.
The Site was selected due to its ability to support local watershed objectives and goals by excluding
livestock, creating stable stream banks, restoring a forest in agriculturally maintained buffer areas, and
implementing agricultural BMPs.These actions will reduce fecal, nutrient, and sediment inputs to
project streams, and ultimately to Indian Creek, South Fork Catawba River, and the Catawba River, as
well as reconnect instream and terrestrial habitats on the Site. Restoration of the Site is directly in line
with recommended management strategies outlined in the LWP and RBRP.
3.0 Baseline and Existing Conditions
3.1 Watershed Conditions
The Site watershed (Table 2 and Figure 3) is situated on the partially developed, northeast edge of
Cherryville in Gaston County, within the Piedmont.The Piedmont is characterized by gently rolling, well-
rounded hills with long low ridges, with elevations ranging anywhere from 300 to 1500 feet above sea
level.The Site topography and relief are typical for the region, as illustrated in Figure 4. Generally,
valleys onsite are unconfined and alluvial, and valley slopes tend to flatten as elevation decreases.
Site streams are classified as Class C waters and are protected for secondary recreation,fishing and fish
consumption, wildlife, aquatic life, and agriculture.
The Site watershed includes the subwatersheds of Oak Hill Creek, UT1, UT1B and UT1A. Land use within
the overall watershed includes a mix of forest, agriculture, and some development, including single-
family homes and commercial use along NC 150 (Lincolnton Highway). While the land use of the Site
watershed is predominantly rural, Oak Hill Creek drains a large portion of the town of Cherryville and
may be considered an urban channel with an estimated 11.6% impervious cover in its 1.7-square mile
watershed (Figure 3).
The Oak Hill Creek subwatershed is the largest contributing drainage area to the Site, the majority of
which lies offsite to the south.The southern and eastern headwaters of this subwatershed are bound by
a combination of Tot Delinger Road, Lincolnton Highway(NC 150), single-family neighborhoods and a
large commercial trucking facility, all of which comprise the largest proportion of impervious area
contributing to Oak Hill Creek.The central,flatter portion of the Oak Hill Creek subwatershed is
occupied by the Cherryville Golf and Country Club which has minimal riparian buffers and has expanded
within the last decade with the clearing of additional forest land.
The subwatershed of UT1 is 0.5 square miles where it enters the site and is bound to the west by Tot
Delinger Road and to the east by Roy Eaker Road which are generally bordered by low density
residential land use.The subwatershed contains a larger proportion of forest land compared to Oak Hill
Creek. Most of the riparian corridor along UT1 that drains to the Site contains a forested buffer.The
W Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No. 100120 Page 2 March 22, 2021

forested buffer narrows within the downstream half of the subwatershed along the left floodplain,
including within the project Site, where active cattle pastures are situated.
Subwatersheds UT1A and UT1B are small drainage areas that flow into UT1. UT1A drains active cattle
pasture and feeding area on the Site and UT1B drains residential and forested land as well as a grass
field.
The Oak Hill Creek watershed is located just outside of the city limits of Cherryville but within its
extraterritorial jurisdictional (ETJ) boundary.According to the Gaston County 2035 Comprehensive Land
Use Plan, some expansion of existing commercial and residential land uses is expected in the future, but
the area is likely to be balanced by the preservation of agricultural lands and open space, and thus
continue to serve more as a "rural development pocket" (Gaston County Planning& Development
Services, 2016). The land within these watersheds is zoned for Highway Business, Manufactured Home
Parks, Manufacturing, and Residential Limited.
A review of historic aerials (Appendix 1) from 1950 to 2016 shows that onsite streams have remained in
the same landscape position for the past 60 years.The agricultural management of the land has also
remained consistent with the following exceptions:
• The dairy waste lagoon that exists today on the project parcel (just south of the larger pond)
was constructed between 2006 and 2009.The lagoon is a no-discharge facility.
• The larger pond in the northeast corner of the Site (that is routed under Robert Road, and joins
Oak Hill Creek offsite)was constructed between 1964 and 1973.
• Most of the larger structures on the project parcels were constructed between 1973 and 1976,
but the two large feed barns located to the south and west of the waste lagoon were built in the
last 15 years.

3.2 Landscape Characteristics
The Site is in the Cat Square terrane of the Piedmont physiographic province which is composed of
deformed metamorphic rocks that have been intruded by younger granitic rocks.The underlying
geology of the Site is mapped as Cherryville Granite (Mc) from the Mississippian Period (330 to 360
W Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No. 100120 Page 3 March 22, 2021

million years in age).The formation is described as massive to weakly foliated; containing pegmatites
that are lithium bearing on the eastern side of the formation. Site streams are predominantly gravel-bed
streams, although a bimodal distribution reflects the large quantity of fines coming from both upstream
and within the Site. No exposed bedrock was observed within the Site.
The soils in ecoregion 45b, Southern Outer Piedmont, consist of mostly quaternary to tertiary aged
sandy clay, clay, micaceous clay, and sandy saprolites with rock outcrops and joint block boulders.The
predominant Site floodplain soils on site are described in Table 3 below and depicted in Figure 5. Large
portions of active cattle pasture bordering the Site are mapped as Wedowee and Pacolet Sandy Loam
soils which are highly susceptible to erosion in bare areas and could be indicative of the high sediment
load observed within the channel.

In general, the cattle pastures on the Site are dominated by pasture grasses such as fescue and millet
species with scattered trees along the top of bank. Row crop fields have previously been planted with
corn. Mature canopy species within these areas are primarily black walnut (Juglans nigra),tulip poplar
(Liriodendron tulipifera), river birch (Betula nigra), willow oak (Quercus phellos), sweet gum
(Liquidambar styraciflua), and sycamore (Platanus occidentalis). Shrub species are primarily Chinese
privet(Ligustrum sinense), multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora), and thickets of blackberry(Rubus spp.) In
addition to pasture grasses,the ground cover in these areas include some river cane (Arundinaria
gigantea), horsenettle (Solanum carolinense), beefsteak(Perilla frutescens), English ivy (Hedera helix),
and Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica).
3.3 Project Resources
3.3.1 Existing Streams
In May 2020, Wildlands investigated on-site jurisdictional waters of the United States (US) within the
proposed project area.The Site contains six unnamed tributaries (UT's) that have been assigned the
following names for the project: Oak Hill Creek, UT1, UT1A, and UT1B, UT2, and UT3.All tributaries
were deemed perennial except for UT1B which was deemed intermittent until just upstream of its
confluence with UT1 where it transitions to perennial flow.
Oak Hill Creek is the mainstem drainage of the Site; it originates off site and flows north and then east
through the project area. UT1 enters the Site through a culvert under Roy Eaker Road and flows east to
join Oak Hill Creek. UT1A originates off site and flows southeast to join UT1. UT1B is a small channel that
enters the Site through a culvert under Roy Eaker Road and flows east to join UT1. UT2 and UT3 are
small tributaries that drain into Oak Hill Creek from the right floodplain in the downstream third of the
project; mitigation credit is not being pursued for these two tributaries but both are proposed to be
extended in length to tie into the realigned mainstem channel of Oak Hill Creek.Jurisdictional stream
features are shown on Figure 2 and supporting documentation is provided in Appendices 2 and 3.
Geomorphic surveys were conducted on Site streams to characterize their existing condition. Existing
streams and cross section locations are illustrated in Figure 2. NCDWR stream assessment forms and
NCSAM forms are in Appendix 3 and reach specific cross sections and geomorphic summaries are
provided in Appendix 4.
Oak Hill Creek Reach 1
Oak Hill Creek Reach 1 begins at the upstream
Oak Hill Creek—Reach 1
property boundary and terminates at a sanitary
sewer crossing. An advancing headcut has been
arrested by a concrete-encased sewer crossing. The ;: �: ^
reach has a meandering geometry with consistent _
and severe outer meander bend erosion. A high •
existing terrace has eroded on the left bank and the _
valley wall on the right. Due to mid-and side-channel
bar formation in the ever-widening channel bottom,
erosion of the lower bench was also observed. s
Hydraulic modeling shows that this bench is not 4 .;
activated by flows less than the 10-year event.The
reach is bordered by a semi-wooded to forested
buffer on the right bank, where it is against the forested valley wall in many cases.The buffer along the
left floodplain is fragmented, consisting of a broad fallow field with a few clusters of mature trees.The
W Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan

reach lacks consistent woody vegetation and rooting depth along the left bank.The right bank lacks
canopy shading in places allowing for competition from invasive species establishment.
The channel classified as a Rosgen B4c-type channel due
to the benches that have formed within the overwide, Oak Hill Creek—Reach 1
incised channel; and is confined to one-third of its

Oak Hill Creek Reach 2
Oak Hill Creek Reach 2 begins downstream of the sanitary sewer easement where a riprap/concrete nick
point is present;the reach extends downstream to the confluence with UT1.As discussed in Section 6.7,
the reach was ditched prior to 1950 based on visual interpretation of aerial photography (Appendix 1).
Reach 2 is actively widening as a result of severely eroding outside bends. Reach 2 has a high bank
height ratio and relative confinement except for the building point and side channel bars. Both banks
lack deep-rooted vegetation and point bars are infested with kudzu. Closer to the confluence, Chinese
privet is dominant along the banks. Pockets of other invasive species, including tree of heaven and
Japanese knotweed, were also observed. Mixed with the privet, some mature vegetation is present in a
W Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan

narrow buffer along the tops of banks. Large woody debris is sparse along Reach 2. Riffles and pools are
present, but of poor quality due to embeddedness with
fines. Oak Hill Creek Reach 2

Oak Hill Creek Reach 3
Oak Hill Creek Reach 3 begins at the confluence of UT1 and extends downstream along the right side of
the valley to the UT3 confluence. Historical aerial imagery suggests Reach 3 was ditched prior to 1950
(Appendix 1). In some areas where trees and privet have held the banks together,the banks are
wooded. In other areas, and beyond the banks,there is a corn field on the left floodplain and fallow
fields on the right.
The instream habitat and overall channel stability continues to degrade downstream, with more fine
sediment in the bed of the channel,frequent areas of bank erosion and incision, and the presence of
mid-channel bars. Some undercut banks and leaf packs provide instream habitat. Privet continues to be
a dominant bank species, with tree of heaven and morning glory(Ipomoea indica) noted as other
invasive species of concern.The dairy's large waste lagoon is situated atop the left valley of Oak Hill
Creek Reach 3. It is designed with no discharge and is required to be sized for at least a 25-year 24-hour
event. If overtopped, under current conditions ditches would convey runoff to Oak Hill Creek, bypassing
the left floodplain of Oak Hill Creek Reaches 3 and 4 (Figure 2).This ditch also collects local drainage
from upland fields along the entire left valley. The adjacent landowner's driveway parallels the creek
toward the downstream reach limits, and concrete slabs have been used to armor the banks to protect
the driveway.

Oak Hill Creek Reach 4
OHC Reach 4 begins at the confluence of UT3 and terminates downstream at a culvert beneath Robert
Road. Reach 4 has severe bank erosion in some areas and, although was classified as a Rosgen E5-type
channel due to active widening resulting in an entrenchment ratio greater than 2.2, it is incised with a
bank height ratio of 2.6.The entire length of Reach 4 immediately abuts a gravel driveway on the right
top of bank with only a narrow row of trees, and portions of the channel bordering the driveway have
been armored with stone or concrete to halt on-going bank erosion. Erosion from debris jams and the
incised channel condition is common. In many of the locations within the reach that have deep-rooted
vegetation,the vegetation is being undercut and lacks sufficient root depth to prevent long term
widening. Reach 4 is similar to OHC Reach 3 with respect to drainage area, channel dimension, pattern,
and profile but classified out as a sand bed channel due to the impact of upstream bank erosion
throughout the Site.Throughout its length, the stream centerline of Reach 4 is roughly coincident with
the Site property boundary.

UT1 Reach 1 enters the Site from a perched culvert under Roy Eaker Road. An overhead electric line and
power pole are present on the left top of bank at the top of the reach.The stream drops 9 inches over
the culvert outlet and is incised with eroding areas downstream of the culvert.Alternating lateral bars
are forming within the incised channel, and varied habitats are present although they are embedded
with fines from bank erosion. Very little woody debris is present in the reach. Although cattle are

noted in the Hydric Soils Report (Appendix 5), aerial �.F� •
photography indicates that UT1 was relocated from
the middle/right side of the valley to the left valley
toe between 1950-1956. Based on the topography and soil characteristics, spoils may have been side
cast into the historic floodplain creating an unnatural high spot through the middle of the valley and
leaving remnant wetland pockets. Presently,the upstream half of the reach generally flows along the
toe of the right valley wall while the downstream half of the reach flows along the toe of the left valley
wall. UT1 Reach 2 is bordered by five small wetland areas (Wetlands B, C, D, E, and F), many of these
coincident with linear drainage features thought to have been created to draw water off historically wet
areas of the floodplain. Downstream of UT1A,there is a draw on the left floodplain that contributes
runoff from the cattle feedlot into UT1. Several cattle sloughs or wallow areas were observed along the
tops of both banks throughout the entire length of UT1 Reach 1.This is consistent with landowner
verbal confirmation that cattle are allowed access seasonally to flash graze areas in order to manage
kudzu and other vegetation.

The stream was classified as a Rosgen G4-type channel based on its degree of incision. Privet along the
banks throughout much of the reach appears to have slowed the rate of channel widening over time;
however,the channel is vertically unstable with several advancing headcuts in the upper half of the
reach and laterally unstable where it has previously undermined privet and other bank vegetation.
While the valley is broad throughout the reach corridor, channel pattern is minimal. Meander pools
should be present but are rare, and pool spacing is tight. Riffles and pools typically occur in locations
inconsistent with stable planform geometry.
Habitat along UT1 consists of riffles with some overhanging roots and pools. Riffles are often embedded
with fines and large woody debris is scarce. Riparian vegetation consists of a single line of mature
vegetation at the top of bank, with maintained crop fields to the left and fallow fields and black walnuts
(Juglans nigra)to the right. The understory and banks are dominated by privet and the right valley wall
and floodplain edge has a severe infestation of English ivy(Hedera helix).
UT1A
The Site was extended upstream from the location originally specified in the DMS technical proposal and
initial NCIRT site walk and currently encompasses the UT1A jurisdictional stream boundary which is in a
bamboo thicket (Phyllostachys aurea).At this location, UT1A drops approximately two feet at an existing
knickpoint. As it emerges from the thicket downstream, it bisects a small wetland area (Wetland J), likely
a result of erosion and cattle wallowing immediately below the existing fence line. An existing residence
on the right floodplain is occupied and must remain—the easement has been set 10 feet off the
residence. UT1A flows within the primary feedlot for the dairy and
is utilized by cattle for drinking; the adjacent areas are impacted by UT1A near Upstream Limits
the concentrated activity. Except for a few stand-alone trees, UT1A s I'
is devoid of riparian vegetation and a shaded canopy.The stream is I +
incised and overly wide, and the bed and banks are severely
trampled with toe and valley slope erosion. In the bamboo section, r +
some bedform and habitat is present, but these give way to silted 1 /ill

3.3.2 Existing Wetlands
Wildlands delineated potential wetland waters of the United States within and immediately adjacent to
the proposed project easement (assessment area) using the USACE Routine On-Site Determination
method presented in the 1987 Corps of Engineers delineation manual and the subsequent Regional
Supplement for the Eastern Mountain and Piedmont Region.The Preliminary Jurisdictional
Determination (PJD)was issued on December 7th. See Appendix 2 for the approved PJD, existing wetland
data is summarized in Table 12.
A total of 7 existing wetland features (Wetlands A, B, C, D, F,J, and K) were documented within the
assessment area (appendix 2). On-site wetland features exhibit indicators of wetland hydrology,
hydrophytic vegetation, and hydric soils. Indicators of wetland hydrology observed in existing wetlands
include aquatic fauna, drainage patterns, surface soil cracks, sparsely vegetated concave surface,
stunted or stressed plants, high water table, water-stained leaves, crayfish burrows, saturation,
geomorphic position, FAC-neutral test, sediment deposits, and surface water. Dominant hydrophytic
vegetation species within wetlands include sugarberry(Celtis laevigata), American elm (Ulmus
americana),jewelweed (Impatiens capensis), arrowhead (Sagittaria latifolia), and jointleaf rush (Juncus
articulatus). Soils within on-site wetlands exhibit one of the following hydric soil indicators: depleted
matrix, redox dark surface, and piedmont floodplain soils.
Existing wetlands were evaluated using the North Carolina Wetland Assessment Method (NCWAM),
which evaluates field conditions relative to reference condition to generate function ratings for specific
wetland types. Using the NCWAM dichotomous key and best professional judgement, existing wetlands
were classified based on the reference wetland type if the area was not disturbed. On-site wetlands
were all classified as Bottomland Hardwood Forest or Headwater Forests. On-site wetlands scored as
low to medium functioning systems when compared to reference conditions because of impairments to
two of the three primary functions (hydrology, water quality, and habitat). Water quality and habitat
functions generally received low scores due to cattle grazing, lack of native vegetative communities, and
poor connectivity to other natural areas. NCWAM field assessment forms and the rating calculator
outputs are included in Appendix 3.

3.4 Overall Functional Uplift Potential
The primary physical stressors on site are incision and entrenchment from historic channelization
coupled with historic and on-going agricultural operations that have drained the site and maintained
narrow or non-existent riparian buffers.These stressors led to low NCSAM scores for most project
stream reaches and low NCWAM scores for project wetlands. Without intervention, Oak Hill Creek and
its tributaries will continue to widen, which will further diminish riparian wetland hydrology. Ultimately,
functional uplift for this Site is linked to improvement in and maintenance of hydrologic connectivity
between streams and riparian wetlands. Additionally, establishing a riparian buffer will protect and
enhance this connectivity. Functional uplift for the site will be achieved through the following:
• Restoring degraded stream channels to reduce erosion and reconnecting streams to their
historic floodplains to restore hydrologic connectivity to riparian wetlands;
• Reducing bank erosion and associated pollutants;
• Planting riparian buffers to shade streams, filter upland runoff, stabilize streambanks with deep-
rooted vegetation, and promote woody debris in system;
• Cattle exclusion;
• Establishing BMP's to provide additional treatment of upland runoff; and
• Protecting the site with a conservation easement.
These project components are described in Section 5 in terms of goals, objectives, and outcomes for the
project and in greater detail in Section 6 as the project site mitigation work plan.
3.5 Site Constraints to Functional Uplift
The following potential Site constraints have been identified and will be addressed as part of this
project.
Due to the tie in elevations and degree of incision onsite, some Priority 2 restoration will be necessary
along portions of UT1 and Oak Hill Creek in transitioning to Priority 1 restoration. Establishing vegetation
on Priority Level 2 stream restoration can be a challenge. Wildlands has prepared a Vegetation and
Planting Plan (Section 6.9) to address this potential constraint. Priority Level 2 restoration may have a
W Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No. 100120 Page 15 March 22, 2021

limited floodplain on some projects. As described in Section 6.6 Design Implementation,Wildlands will
construct floodplains that are at least 4 times bankfull width and have a slope that is flatter than 5:1.
The Site is currently in active row crop and cattle operation. Care was taken to minimize the number of
stream crossings to those that are necessary for the landowners to maintain their farming operations in
a sustainable manner.Two internal easement crossings are proposed at the Site to maintain landowner
access and use of the adjoining property, and to accommodate an existing sanitary sewer line easement
(20-feet in width)that intersects Oak Hill Creek at the juncture of Reach 1 and 2. At this time, livestock
will be excluded from the proposed ford crossing since the landowner does not intend to use it and its
adjacent areas for this purpose in the short term.The UT1 crossing will be fenced and gated based on
the current intent to use this crossing for livestock rotation post-construction.The crossings are
summarized and numbered below in Table 13 and depicted on Figure 9. All crossings will be designed to
reduce barriers to sediment transport, promote aquatic organism passage, and increase the long-term
stability of the crossings.
Table 13:Summary of Site Easement Crossings and Breaks
No. Width(ft) Location Internal or External Crossing Type
1 50 Oak Hill Creek Reach 1/2 Internal Ford
2 30 UT1 Reach 2 Internal Culvert crossing
There are two structures in the right floodplain of UT1A—a small, occupied house near the upstream
project boundary and an old barn approximately halfway down the reach.The landowner has agreed to
demolish the old barn as part of the project.The easement has been narrowed in the vicinity of the
house.
Utilities within the project area include an existing sanitary sewer that crosses Oak Hill Creek Reach 1 at
its reach break with and overhead utilities along Roy Eaker Road and Robert Road. Internal easement
crossing 1 has been aligned to encompass the sanitary sewer easement.The overhead utility line along
Roy Eaker Road that extends across UT1 Reach 1 is no longer in service and will be removed from the
easement.The conservation easement boundary has been set to exclude the overhead utility on Robert
Road.
Two BMPs are proposed for the Site to intercept and treat stormwater runoff from the dairy's outdoor
feeding area bordering UT1A and UT1 Reach 1, and in the subwatershed of the dairy's no-discharge
waste lagoon that would overtop to the creek through ditches in the case of an event exceeding the
design volume of the lagoon.Treated runoff from these two proposed BMPs will outlet into restored
wetland areas and a vegetated floodplain buffer to provide additional attenuation and potential
pollutant load filtering benefits before entering the stream channel. More details pertaining to the
proposed BMPs can be found in Section 6.8.
The entire easement area can be accessed for construction, monitoring, and long-term stewardship
from Robert Road and Roy Eaker Road.

4.1 Biological and Cultural Resources
A Categorical Exclusion for the Site was approved on August 20, 2019.This document included
investigation into the presence of threatened and endangered species on Site protected under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as well as any historical resources protected under the National
Historic Preservation Act of 1966.The biological conclusion for the Site, per the Categorical Exclusion
research and response by US Fish and Wildlife Service, is that "the action agency determines that this
project may affect the Northern Long-Eared Bat (NLEB), but that any resulting incidental take of the
NLEB is not prohibited by the finial 4(d) rule."The conclusion for cultural resources per the Categorical
Exclusion research and response by the State Historic Preservation Office is that they are aware of"no
historic resources which would be affected by this project."The signed Categorical Exclusion checklist
and summary are provided in Appendix 6.As stated on the Northern Long-Eared Bat 4(d) Rule
Streamlined Consultation Form provided in the Categorical Exclusion, approximately 1.24 acres of trees
will be cleared during the construction of the project. A complete copy of the Categorical Exclusion
document, including additional information and regulatory communications, is available upon request.
4.2 FEMA Floodplain Compliance and Hydrologic Trespass
The Site is represented on the Gaston County Flood Maps 3710269100K and 3710269000J. All four
project stream reaches of Oak Hill Creek are mapped in a Zone AE Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) and
the downstream 400 LF of UT1 Reach 2 is included in the backwater of Oak Hill Creek's mapped
floodplain (Figure 6). UT1, UT1A and UT1B do not have designated SFHAs. Effective hydraulic modeling
for Oak Hill Creek has been obtained from the NC Floodplain Mapping Program. Based on modeling of
the existing and proposed conditions, a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) is anticipated to
address minor rises during extreme flood events.The rises anticipated under these large flows is on the
order of 1-3" with no impact to structures. Wildlands and the County will notify the two affected
landowners through the CLOMR Property Owner Notification process and through Wildlands' own
outreach, as deemed appropriate. Upstream of Oak Hill Creek Reach 1, a rise of 1-3" has been modeled
for the proposed case under the 100-year base flood. This is a naturalized and wooded area with no
developed land impacted. On the right floodplain of Oak Hill Creek in Reaches 3 and 4, the increase in
base flood elevation has been modeled as 0.01'. In this same area along Reaches 3 and 4, Wildlands has
coordinated the installation of new culverts on UT2 and UT3 to address the poor condition of existing
pipes and to simultaneously raise the new pipes in order to prevent excessive backwater of baseflow
W Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No. 100120 Page 17 March 22, 2021

onto the adjacent landowner. Sufficient existing gradient exists in this area to accomplish the required
grade adjustments and Wildlands has coordinated these activities with the landowner and will obtain a
temporary easement to make these adjustments to UT2 & 3. UT1 Reach 1 will be tied into an existing
headcut at the culvert outlet but will not back up water above the elevation of the existing culvert at
Roy Eaker Road. UT1A raises the stream up to an existing knick point but this is contained within the
proposed easement.A LOMR will be completed after construction using as-built survey data.
4.3 401/404
Jurisdictional waters will be impacted with realignment of the stream channel, structure installation and
bank,floodplain and wetland grading. Wetlands on the Site that are within the conservation easement
and outside of the limits of disturbance will be flagged during construction to prevent unintended
impacts.This will be denoted in the final construction plans. The Pre-Construction Notification, including
this data, will be submitted to the NCIRT with the Final Mitigation Plan.
5.0 Mitigation Site Goals and Objectives
The project will improve stream and wetland functions through stream restoration, conversion of
agricultural fields into riparian buffer, and restoring wetlands within the broad floodplains of Oak Hill
Creek and UT1. Project goals are desired project outcomes and are verifiable through measurement
and/or visual assessment. Objectives are activities that will result in the accomplishment of goals.The
project will be monitored after construction to evaluate performance as described in Section 8 of this
report.The project goals and related objectives are described in Table 15. It should be noted that
potential benefits resulting in the uplift of biological and physicochemical functions are presumed since
these functions will not be directly measured during monitoring.

6.0 Design Approach and Mitigation Work Plan
This Section presents the proposed collective design approach for streams, wetlands, BMPs, and
planting, as well as considerations for land and project risk management for this Site.
The design approach was developed to meet the goals and objectives described in Section 5 which were
formulated based on the potential for uplift described in Section 3.4.The design is also intended to
provide the expected outcomes in Section 5, though these are not tied to performance criteria.
W Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No. 100120 Page 19 March 22, 2021

The design focus is the reconnection of streams to their historic floodplains to raise the groundwater
table on the Site and contribute more frequent overbank flow to site floodplain and wetland resources.
Restoration of site hydrology will be further supported by filling agricultural drainage swales and
removing drainage tiles.The floodplains and wetlands will be planted with native herbaceous; tree and
shrub species and invasive species will be treated. Instream structures will be constructed in the
channels to help maintain stable channel morphology, improve aquatic habitat, and enhance channel
bedform. Cattle will be excluded from the Site, eliminating wallow areas within the streams and
wetlands. Proposed stormwater BMPs will treat upland runoff entering the Site from areas used for
feeding and grazing of cattle.The entire project area will be protected in perpetuity by a conservation
easement.Table 16 summarizes the stressors of each project reach and the applicable mitigation
activities expected to address those stressors.

6.1 Stream Design Approach Overview
A combination of analog, empirical and analytical approaches for stream restoration design were
employed. Reference reaches were identified to serve as an acceptable range for design parameters.
Channels were sized based on design discharge hydrologic analysis and empirical approaches including
applying regional curve equations. Designs were then verified and/or modified based on a sediment
transport analysis.These design approaches have been used on many successful stream restoration
projects and are appropriate for the goals and objectives for this Site.
6.2 Reference Streams
Reference streams provide geomorphic parameters of a stable system, which can be used to inform
design of stable channels of similar stream types in similar landscapes and watersheds.Ten reference
reaches were identified for this Site (Figure 7) and used to support the design of Oak Hill Creek and its
tributaries.These reference reaches were chosen because of their similarities to the Site streams
including drainage area, valley slope, morphology, and bed material.All selected reference reaches are
located in the North Carolina Piedmont physiographic province where the Site is, except for Boyd
Branch, which is located in the Blue Ridge or mountain province. Boyd Branch was included as a
W Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No. 100120 Page 21 March 22, 2021

reference reach for Oak Hill Creek Reach 1 due similarities in drainage area,valley type, width, and slope
between the two streams. Geomorphic parameters for these reference reaches are summarized in
Appendix 4.The reference reaches to be used for the specific streams are summarized below in Table
17.

6.3 Design Discharge Analysis
Multiple methods were used to estimate bankfull discharges for restoration reaches including regional
curve data (Harman et al. 1999 and Walker, unpublished), a regional flood frequency analysis using U.S.
Geological Survey(USGS) gage sties, and reference reach data.The methods were compared, and a
design discharge was selected based on the results of the different methods. Slightly larger design
discharges relative to drainage areas were established for the mainstem project reaches (Oak Hill Creek
Reaches 1—4)to drive designs of slightly larger channels (by width)for these reaches to the extent of
impervious area or urban influence on storm runoff within the headwaters of the Oak Hill Creek
subwatershed. Results of each method and the final design discharges are shown in Table 18 and
illustrated in Figure 8.

6.5 Sediment Transport Analysis
A qualitative assessment of sediment supply and sources in the project watershed was performed based
on visual inspection and review of historic aerial photos.The Oak Hill Creek and UT1 watersheds have
not changed considerably in recent decades. Redevelopment or future residential expansion around
Cherryville may increase development in both watersheds, particularly UT1 which is less developed.
The Oak Hill Creek watershed has a large portion of its area developed, most notably a large industrial
complex with high impervious cover at its headwaters and a golf course in the middle of the watershed.
There are several small to medium sized ponds on tributary reaches to the mainstem, mostly associated
with the golf course. Between 2011—2017,the golf course was expanded to the west and aerial photos
indicate stream buffer removal as well as some degree of upland erosion.The rest of the watershed is
residential and the main future impacts would be from infill or limited additional residential
development.
UT1 is largely forested on the right bank and the left bank is forested in the upper half of the watershed
but agricultural in the lower half, immediately upstream of the project.
Observed deposition on the Site indicates that both Oak Hill Creek and UT1 deliver fine and coarse
sediment load into the Site. Depositional patterns within the Site are primarily in areas with active
widening through outside or undercut bank erosion. In areas that have redeveloped a narrow bottom
width and depositional benches, streams have coarser bed sediments and coarse sediment is visible on
depositional features. No signs of reachwide or channel aggradation are present within the project area,
even in areas that have widened considerably.
The proposed stream restoration is maintaining bankfull sediment capacity by spreading out the vertical
drop over perched upstream culverts, sewer crossings and knick points in restoration reaches
throughout the length of the project.This is counteracting the typical approach of flattening reach
slopes at the top of projects to transition to Priority 1 restoration. As a result,the slopes of the proposed
channels are similar to those of the existing channels.
Restored streambanks are being sloped at a gentle 3 or 3.5:1 slope in order to allow for adjustment of
channel sediment transport efficiency to the incoming flow and sediment load. In addition, proposed
wetlands have been set back off the stream channel to allow for natural levy formation as a second
natural response and adjustment to sediment loading.
Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No. 100120 Page 27 March 22, 2021

In the reaches with the finest sediment gradations, on-site sediment sources are being reduced and the
slopes were increased which will help move fine sediment.To maintain high quality pools, channel
constricting and grade drop features will be utilized in the project. Grade drop features will serve to hold
the base channel elevation and sized and designed to prevent downcutting.
Through meander bend construction, a secondary result of the design is re-establishment of 3-
dimensional vectors in pools that will help maintain pool depths during intermittent high flows.
A competence analysis was performed to analyze the ability of the proposed streams to transport the
sizes of sediment supplied to them.The results of the competence analysis for bankfull flow conditions
are shown in Table 26.The competence analysis on these reaches indicates that the reaches will be able
to transport the d50 to d84 sediment sizes supplied to them by their watersheds in most cases. In cases
where the largest particles can be mobilized, an emphasis was placed on ensuring that adequate grade
control is incorporated into the design.The shear stresses for the 10-year and 50-year events were also
calculated and will be used to incorporate low mobility material into riffles.

of 0.8 lb/sq ft and is capable of moving 60-130 mm particle (2.5 to 5 inches).To promote riffle grade
control stability, riffles in UT1 will be supplemented with particle sizes consistent with a weighted mix of
NCDOT Class A/B mix (2 to 12 inches)to target a d84 at the upper movable particle range.
The existing d50 in Oak Hill Creek ranges from 20-35 mm. Reach 1 has the highest d50, potentially
related to the high input of fine sediment within the project Site reducing the d50 further downstream.
In Reaches 1 and 2, the 50-year flow has a shear stress of 0.8-1.8 lb/sq ft and is capable of moving 60-
230 mm particle (2.5 to 9 inches).To promote riffle grade control stability, riffles in Oak Hill Creek Reach
1 will be supplemented with particle sizes consistent with a weighted mix of NCDOT Class A/B mix (2 to
12 inches)to target a d84 at the upper movable particle range. In Reaches 3 and 4,the 50-year flow has
a shear stress of 1.0-1.6 lb/sq ft, and therefore a similar mix will be incorporated.
The existing d50 in UT1A is sand/silt. UT1A will be constructed with new bed material since the existing
bed material has been buried and smothered due to trampling.The 50-year flow has a shear stress of
3.2-3.4 lb/sq ft and is capable of moving 260-370 mm particle (10 to 15 inches).To promote riffle grade
control stability, riffles and grade control structures in UT1A will be supplemented with large cobble and
small to medium size boulders to provide a low mobility bed.

6.6 Stream Design Implementation
The proposed Site includes a combination of stream restoration and enhancement activities as well as
wetland restoration and creation activities detailed in Section 6.7. Project stream reaches proposed for
restoration and enhancement are currently impacted by riparian management, past and/or present
cattle access, bank erosion, and incision. Activities have been selected to provide the highest degree of
ecological uplift to the system. Figure 9 provides an overview of the proposed mitigation activities on
the Site.
The majority of the project reaches are proposed for Priority 1 restoration. Priority 2 sections of channel
will be constructed where needed to transition grade from off-site tie-in to proposed elevations, avoid
hydrologic trespass, and maintain minimum channel slopes. Priority 2 sections of channel only account
for a few hundred feet of proposed stream at the Site. Restoration reaches have been designed to
create stable,functional stream channels based on reference reach parameters, design discharge
analysis, and sediment transport analysis. Dimension, pattern, and profile have been designed for all
restoration reaches to provide a cross-sectional area sized for frequent overbank flows, a stable bed
with variable bedforms, and well-vegetated bank slopes. Improved vertical and lateral stability will
reduce stream channel erosion. Diverse bedforms will be established using in-stream structures
appropriate for the geomorphic settings. These structures will provide grade control to prevent incision
and serve as habitat features. Pools will have varied depths to increase habitat diversity and mimic
natural streams.
In-stream structures for all reaches will include constructed rock riffles, rock sills, log sills, log or rock j-
hooks, log vanes, brush toe, geolifts, bank roughening and cover logs. Constructed riffles will be built
from excavated on-site rock when possible. Quarry stone may be used if an on-site source cannot be
found. Constructed riffles will incorporate woody material and logs, which will provide varied pore
spaces within the riffles and benefit hyporheic exchange processes and habitat formation.The diverse
range of constructed riffle types will provide grade control, diversity of habitat, and will create varied
flow vectors. Log and rock j-hooks will deflect flow vectors away from banks while adding to habitat
diversity. Log and rock sills will be used to allow for small grade drops across pools. At select outer
meander bends,the channel banks will be constructed with brush toe revetments to reduce erosion
potential, encourage pool maintenance, and provide varied pool habitat. Similarly, cover logs will also be
used in some meander bends to provide pool habitat variability and stream bank stability. Sod harvested
on-site and/or coir fiber matting will be used to provide bank protection.
6.6.1 OHC Reach 1
Enhancement I is proposed for Oak Hill Creek Reach 1 and includes the following: bank grading on both
banks to reestablish a stable planform geometry and dimension, widespread benching of outer meander
banks, and channel structure installation in riffles and bends to adjust channel alignment and protect
outer meanders against an urban flow regime and high sediment load. The work in the reach will include
subtle but nearly continuous channel realignment, profile manipulation, and structure installation.The
left floodplain will also be lowered and benched to increase floodplain activation frequency in order to
enhance adjacent riparian wetlands.A mature woody riparian buffer will be established along the left
floodplain, and invasive species will be removed along the reach.The Priority 2 area of Oak Hill Creek
Reach 1 is limited to approximately the first 100 feet of the reach where the design ties to the existing
stream bed.
A 50-foot wide permanent ford crossing is proposed at the downstream limits of Reach 1 in an internal
easement break that includes both the sanitary sewer crossing and the ford.The bed of the channel and
the banks will be hardened at the ford to produce a firm base for passage of farm vehicles. Grade
Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No. 100120 Page 29 March 22, 2021

control will be incorporated to the downstream limits of the ford to hold grade in the crossing. Cattle
will be excluded from Reach 1.
6.6.2 OHC Reach 2
Oak Hill Creek Reach 2 is proposed for a combination of Priority 1 and 2 restoration to reestablish
appropriate channel dimension, pattern and profile. Existing channel grade will be raised subtly in Reach
1 and more significantly at the existing knick point at the beginning of Reach 2 where the concrete-
encased sanitary sewer crossing is holding grade. Raising Reach 2 will support proposed wetland
approaches.Visible drainage tiles in the left bank will be followed upgradient and removed to further
this end.
6.6.3 OHC Reach 3
Oak Hill Creek Reach 3 is being realigned away from the valley wall out into the middle of the valley with
appropriate dimension, pattern and profile as a Priority 1 floodplain restoration approach. Reach 3
starts at the confluence with UT1 and has a flat broad floodplain.The Priority 1 approach will help
reconnect Oak Hill Creek with its historic floodplain and restore hydrology to existing and relic wetlands.
BMP 2 is being proposed on the left edge of the floodplain to treat runoff from the adjacent fields and
uplands, including the waste lagoon area as described in Section 6.8.
6.6.4 OHC Reach 4
Oak Hill Creek Reach 4 will transition from the Priority 1 approach used upstream down to the existing
elevation of the Robert Road culvert.A Priority 2 floodplain will be excavated to facilitate the tie-in.
6.6.5 UT1 Reach 1
UT1 will be raised starting the perched culvert outlet at the upstream limits.This Priority 1/2 approach
with floodplain excavation will be used in Reach 1 to transition to a Priority 1 approach in downstream
reaches. Restoration will improve aquatic organism passage by correcting the perched culvert elevation
at the upstream end of UT1 and raising the stream will enhance hydrology in existing and proposed
creation wetlands at the downstream limits of the reach. Restoration will also provide additional
bedform habitat and introduce large woody debris into UT1. Construction of a bankfull channel within
this reach will increase sediment transport efficiency over the existing overwide channel bottom with
inner berm formation.The overhead electric line and power pole on the left top of bank at the top of
the reach and will be permanently removed.
6.6.6 UT1 Reach 2
UT1 Reach 2 will start as a Priority 1/2 floodplain approach but rapidly transition to a Priority 1
approach. The channel will be moved off the edge of the valley wall and meandered with an appropriate
pattern, dimension and profile through the middle of the valley. BMP 1 will be installed in the left
floodplain near the top of Reach 2 to provide volume storage and treatment for drainage from the
concentrated feedlot.The cattle present in the left floodplain of this reach which have had intermittent
access to the reach for flash grazing, will be excluded from the easement.The high area noted in the
existing conditions and Hydric Soils Report (Appendix 5) will be graded down to the prevailing elevation
of the historic floodplain. In the downstream 1/3 of the reach, an internal culvert crossing will be
installed. At the crossing, the entire right floodplain will be left at grade to allow for flood flows to pass
down the floodplain thereby relieving the culvert from carrying high flows.
6.6.7 UT1A
Restoration of UT1A will begin at the jurisdictional boundary where the headcut will be stabilized and
brought up to grade for a Priority 1 restoration. Wildlands has extended the proposed easement from
the original proposal to encompass the entire jurisdictional limits of UT1A and to physically remove and
perform follow-up treatment to address the existing bamboo thicket. Priority 1 restoration of this
W Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No. 100120 Page 30 March 22, 2021

steeper headwater tributary will result in a valley that has an entrenchment ratio exceeding typical B-
type streams.An Eb stream type is proposed for this hybrid step-pool approach with some meandering
pattern.An existing occupied residence on the right bank must remain and the easement has been
narrowed around the structure. Cattle will be entirely excluded from the easement along this stream
and the streambed will be dredged to remove built up cow manure that forms the majority of the
existing stream bed. Restoration will provide bedform and habitat and introduce large woody debris to
UT1A, all of which are absent from the existing channel. BMP 1 is proposed on the left floodplain at the
end of the reach where it confluences with UT1.This BMP will include a diversion berm within the left
floodplain easement of UT1A to capture additional upland flow from the cattle feeding area and route it
into BMP 1.
6.6.8 UT1B
UT1B is a stable stream with low banks and is proposed for enhancement II.This stream will be treated
for invasive vegetation as the adjacent area is overgrown with kudzu. A narrow right floodplain is being
preserved consistent with the proposal easement and greater than the minimum 15' easement required
for crediting.The left buffer will be planted with riparian species and the right buffer will be
supplemented with native plantings as needed to complement the existing row of trees.
6.6.9 UT2 and UT3
Due to the proposed changes in the alignment and profile of Oak Hill Creek, the alignments of UT2 and
UT3 would need to be extended and profiles raised in order to continue positive flow to Oak Hill Creek.
For both streams,the existing culverts terminated near the existing toe of bank of Oak Hill Creek.
The 36-inch corrugated metal pipe (CMP) culvert at UT2 was in poor condition and will be removed and
replaced with a 36-inch High-Density Polyethylene pipe(HDPE)with a downstream invert that is 1.7 feet
above the existing invert.
The 30-inch Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP) culvert at UT3 was found to be in usable condition, but
undersized,especially in regards to aquatic organism passage considerations.The existing culvert will be
reused as a flood relief culvert and a new 36-inch HDPE pipe will be the primary culvert.The new design
will raise the culvert 2.7 feet above the existing downstream invert.The adjacent landowner's driveway
will be modified with new grading to obtain the needed cover over the proposed pipes.
From these proposed downstream inverts, UT2 and UT3 were designed to flow over low slopes (0.5
percent) until their respective confluences with Oak Hill Creek. A major design concern for these small
tributaries was instability during flooding events associated with Oak Hill Creek. The constructed parts
of these streams will be heavily planted with livestakes and seeded with riparian vegetation to mitigate
this risk. Additional transplants from onsite will be preferentially placed in the floodplain immediately
upstream of these tributaries. Woody debris will also be mixed in among the heavily planted areas to
roughen the floodplain and slow flood waters.
6.7 Wetland Design Approach Overview
The Site includes riparian riverine headwater seep, pocket, and floodplain wetlands that will be re-
established and rehabilitated. Proposed wetland restoration and creation areas are adversely impacted
by agricultural ditching, historic channel manipulation, channel downcutting, manmade subsurface
drainage, cultivation for row crops, and cattle impacts.The proposed approach will include multiple
activities to restore site hydrology and vegetation.
W Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan

This project includes the re-establishment,
Area Proposed for Wetland Restoration
rehabilitation, and creation of 9.4-acres of historically
altered wetland-riparian complexes on the floodplains
of Oak Hill Creek and UT1. Both streams will be
constructed through the proposed wetland
restoration areas with a priority 1 restoration
approach that will raise the water table elevation and '° ,
restore the natural overbank flooding regime. Ditches

improve hydrology. Riparian wetlands within the � = i ` t.;
project area will be planted with native wetland , : ` r
species specific to the target wetland community type
of Bottomland Hardwood Forest as outlined in Section 6.9 and invasive species will be treated. Wetland
potential and hydrology were assessed with soils analysis and existing groundwater gages. Reference
wetland community data was used to propose wetland herbaceous and woody vegetation planting.
Wildlands analyzed information presented below to understand how existing incised streams and
farming practices have affected current hydrologic conditions, site topography and hydric soil
development.This analysis included evaluation of how stream restoration and management of runoff
and drainage at the site could be used to create more favorable future hydrologic conditions for hydric
soil development in the proposed wetland areas.
6.7.1 Hydric Soils Investigation
A preliminary hydric soils investigation was conducted in December 2018 by a licensed soil scientist
(LSS), followed up by an additional boring study in March 2020 to assess the extent and depth of hydric
soil indicators on site.The field assessments have been combined into one summary report and figure
(Appendix 5).The findings were used to indicate wetland re-establishment potential and depth of
potential overburden material from the historic manipulation of site soils for agricultural purposes.
Areas containing hydric soils but lacking a wetland hydrologic regime were likely functional wetlands
prior to floodplain fill and drainage activities. Proposed wetland re-establishment areas were mapped as
the Chewacla soil series by NRCS. However, hydric soils observed in Wetlands 1 and 3 were more
consistent with the Wehadkee soil series while soils in Wetlands 2 and 4 were more consistent with
Chewacla. According to the USACE Wilmington District Stream and Wetland Compensatory Mitigation
Update (2016), the established Wetland Saturation Threshold for the Chewacla and Wehadkee soil
series in the North Carolina Piedmont ranges from 10-16%.
A total of 91 hand augured soil borings were performed as part of the hydric soil investigations. Soil
borings were classified as non-hydric within 10 inches of.soil surface, hydric soils with a depleted matrix
(F3), and hydric soils considered piedmont floodplain soils (F19). At boring locations,the depth below
the existing land surface to hydric soil indicator was noted.The report from the LSS (Appendix 5)
supports Wildlands' proposed wetland restoration plans and provides supporting data for the specific
approaches and activities proposed.Along UT1,the review of historic aerial photography coupled with
field observations of topography and soils are indicative of fill placement over historic wetlands.

6.7.2 Reference Wetlands
An existing wetland approximately 7 miles from the Site, Oak Hill Dairy Reference Wetland
and adjacent to Wildlands' Owl's Den Mitigation Site in
Lincoln County, is a mature Piedmont Bottomland Forest
reference within the floodplain of Howards Creek. Review
of historical aerials and field conditions reveal no recentq 44; � �
disturbance to the wetland. Mature vegetation is
established and the natural flooding regime has been
preserved.The hydrology of this system is intermittently, =mow-' > -
temporarily, or seasonally flooded. While the hydrology �`� ;
data collected at the Owl's Den reference site indicates :
that it is wetter than what is anticipated at Oak Hill Diary, "� ";_— -
the vegetation provides a good reference on a site that
exhibits similar soil types and topographic form to the Oak Hill Site.
The vegetation at the reference site is being used as a basis for the planting plan for the wetland
restoration and creation on the project Site.The existing vegetation communities at the reference site
are typical of a Bottomland Hardwood Forest and include mature canopy tree species, subcanopy and
shrub species, as well as an herbaceous layer. Dominant canopy species include river birch, green ash,
sycamore, box elder, and red maple. Understory species include ironwood and spicebush.The
herbaceous layer within the reference wetland includes arrow arum,jewelweed, and lizard's tail, with
microstegium also present.
6.7.3 Measured Hydrologic Data
Seven groundwater monitoring gages were installed throughout the Site on December 20, 2019 and
monitored through September 8, 2020.The location of the existing groundwater gages is shown in
Figure 2. Gages were placed throughout the existing floodplain at the site to evaluate the existing
groundwater elevations throughout the growing season (March 20 to November 14 (239 days) for
Gastonia, North Carolina).Table 27 summarizes the available groundwater data.
For the 2020 growing season, none of the seven groundwater gages installed on the Site met the
Wetland Saturation Threshold. Groundwater gages#1 and #3 were located in the floodplain along Reach
3 and Reach 4 of Oak Hill Creek and logged more consecutive and cumulative days with the water table
within 12 inches of the ground surface than the other gages.These gages also have a more muted
response to rainfall suggesting a strong toe of slope hydrology that results in a more prolonged and
evenly distributed hydrologic input under current conditions. Groundwater gage#2 was located closer
to Oak Hill Creek in a position influenced by natural levy formation or manmade side-casting and much
closer to the drawdown influence of the incised Oak Hill Creek. Gage#4 appears to have good potential
to meet criteria based on a more prolonged drawdown after rainfall and a water table that is drastically
affected by site drainage. It is adversely impacted by the downstream ditch and subsurface wood drain
tile lowering hydrology in existing Wetland B. Gages#5-7 were not very close to achieving prolonged
saturation within the upper 12" of the soil column. Gage#5 is adjacent to the start of the ditch draining
existing Wetland B and is also perpendicular and in close proximity to a meander bend in Oak Hill Creek
that is incised five feet below the grade of the floodplain on which gage#5 is situated -a wooden
drainage tile is visible in the left bank of the creek coming from the direction of the gage. Gages#6 &7
are located approximately 5' below the adjacent incised UT1 channel.This high ground was noted in the
LSS' report as a topographic anomaly attributable to historic channel manipulation for agricultural
purposes (Appendix 5). These gages are in narrower valleys before the confluence of the Oak Hill Creek
with UT1.The drawdown influence is corresponding more pronounced from incised and ditched creek
W Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan

channels located in closer proximity. At the same time,the hillslope hydrology is less pronounced than
the influence of the 15 acres of ephemeral flow entering the Site near gages#1 &3.

6.7.5 Proposed Wetland Design
The proposed stream work and wetland grading will restore wetland
hydrology to filled and drained areas of the site. Priority 1 stream ri .

overbank flooding.This stream restoration approach will also reduce •
groundwater flow gradient from the toe of slope and floodplain
wetland areas to the stream, resulting in less drawdown in the water < .
table across the Site. Grading to remove ditches and subsurface 1.;
drainage features within the Site will also improve the wetland ' } �' .
hydrology.The proposed grading will eliminate linear ditches and plug ;. '
ditch outlets to the stream, remove or reduce side cast material from ' • 444,. ~''� `'
ditch and stream banks, and remove areas of field fill and crowning. '
This work will promote a more natural infiltration and groundwater
flow regime through the site and remove overburden from buried hydric soils. Wetland vegetation
establishment will be enhanced by addressing soil compaction and any poor-quality soils that are found
during construction. Compaction will be addressed by loosening or roughening the ground with
available equipment and poor-quality soils will be addressed with soil amendments or with the re-
application of harvested topsoil.
In all wetland rehabilitation and re-establishment areas (areas credited at both 1:1 and 1.5:1 ratios),
grading cuts of greater than 12 inches account for 16.8%of the area.These cut areas are mostly
relegated to the berms and sidecast piles found in the left floodplain of Oak Hill Creek Reaches 3 and 4
and the right floodplain of UT1 as shown in Figure 10. Grading in these areas was dictated by the stream
design,where the proposed stream bankfull was placed at the existing low point in the valley. Sidecast
piles from maintenance of the existing stream and the wetland toe ditch created high points on either
side of the proposed stream greater than 12 inches.These high points will be removed to connect the
proposed stream to existing wetlands and to allow the stream access to a majority of the floodplain
during flood stages. Creation wetland areas contain more extensive grading with areas of grading
greater than 12 inches accounting for about 31.8%of the total creation area.
Wetland rehabilitation at a credit ratio of 1:1 was proposed for existing wetlands that were delineated
in the left floodplain along Oak Hill Creek Reaches 3 and 4. While no expansion of wetland area will
occur in the 1:1 wetland rehabilitation area,wetland function will uplift by a large margin in these areas.
A majority of the area proposed at 1:1 wetland rehabilitation consists of an agricultural field that is
plowed and planted in some years or an existing ditch at the toe of slope. NC WAM forms indicate that
these areas are very low or poor functioning in all categories. Existing wetlands in other areas of the Site
were found to be in better condition and are proposed as wetland rehabilitation at a 1.5:1 credit ratio.
Collectively,the proposed changes to the Site are anticipated to enhance the hydrology to meet targets
consistent with the formation and support of wetlands and the targeted communities.
W Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No. 100120 Page 35 March 22, 2021

In many areas within the site,the LSS hydric soil assessment indicated hydric indicators below 10" and
there was less obvious evidence of prior area-specific manipulation. Wildlands' review of historic and
topographic data, and the distribution of remnant wetlands throughout the site led us to the conclusion
that some or many of these areas were potentially part of historic wetlands, or that proposed site
activities are likely to result in wetland formation in many of these areas supporting floodplain wetland
functions. For this reason, we have proposed wetland creation in select areas where assessment data
was insufficient to support re-establishment.
6.8 Stormwater BMPs
Two stormwater BMPs are proposed for the Site, as depicted on Figure 9.
Runoff from the dairy's outdoor feeding area on the left side of UT1A enters UT1A as dispersed overland
flow and enters the left floodplain of UT1 through an existing swale. BMP 1 will be established within
the conservation easement at the outlet of the existing swale to capture and treat the drainage from
this area. Approximately 3 acres drains to the proposed BMP 1, including the farmhouse and other
upland areas. BMP 1 has been designed to provide initial volume storage and initial and long-term
treatment and to step the runoff down from the terrace onto the left floodplain of UT1. It will be outlet
to a flow dispersing feature onto the floodplain to filter through the riparian buffer into UT1.
BMP 2 will be installed outside of the proposed wetland re-establishment along Oak Hill Creek Reach 3
and will slow and provide initial volume storage and initial and long-term treatment for the contributing
15-acre drainage that starts near the dairy waste lagoon and includes adjacent fields, both fallow and in
crop production.The waste lagoon is designed for a 25-year 24-hour storm and, unless flows exceed the
lagoon capacity,there is no discharge from the lagoon. Stormwater runoff from the fields, entering the
proposed BMP at the downstream limits of an NRCS grassed swale practice. While the waste lagoon is
designed not to overtop, it has overtopped on one prior instance in the last several decades and the
BMP provides an additional buffer to the wetlands and floodplain of Oak Hill Creek and treats a
significant area of fallow or cultivated land that may be used in the future for grazing. Additional
easement has been obtained in this area for the BMP.The outlet of BMP 2 will be designed for diffusion
of the collected outflow into the adjacent floodplain and wetlands and a high flow outlet to manage
large rainfall events in a stable manner.
The two BMPs will be planted with wetland seeding, plugs and livestakes. No direct mitigation credit is
requested for BMPs.
The primary maintenance risks for the BMPs are erosion issues throughout the BMP system as well as
sediment loads filling the BMP basins and reducing volume capacity over long-term time scales.
Minimizing maintenance is a major design criterion for the BMPs.
To reduce erosion associated with BMP systems and to promote vegetation establishment, the banks
of the BMP basins will be laid back as much as practical. Slopes steeper than 4:1 will be stabilized with
erosion control matting. All areas associated with the BMP systems that have been disturbed will be
seeded and will be monitored for vegetation establishment after construction has been completed.
Areas without sufficient vegetation will be prepared and re-seeded until adequate vegetation is
established.
The BMP overflow areas were designed with low slopes from the BMP basin to the Conservation
Easement boundaries to reduce the risk of scour or downcutting in the overflow conveyance. Due to
existing topography at the site, conveyance areas upslope of the BMPs will have higher slopes and a
potential for headcuts. Potential nick points in the upslope conveyances will be addressed with
structures (rock steps, etc), pools,the addition of rock to harden the conveyance bed in key areas, and
Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No. 100120 Page 36 March 22, 2021

erosion control matting where needed.
Sediment loads filling the BMP basin are likely unavoidable over long-term time scales and should be
interpreted as the BMP functioning properly. BMP basins will not be maintained for sediment and the
initial volume storage, once filled, will be replaced by the increased function of the floodplain as a
vegetated filter strip as the floodplain vegetation matures. Due to the relative size of the BMPs
compared to the contributing watersheds, it is expected that it may take several years to a decade
before BMP volume capacity is reduced such that filtration and vegetative uptake become the
dominating treatment mechanism.
6.9 Vegetation, Planting Plan,and Land Management
Non-forested areas within the conservation easement will be planted, which includes additional buffer
areas beyond the minimum requirement of 50 feet from top of bank. Riparian buffers will be planted
with early successional native vegetation chosen to develop a forested riparian zone.The specific
species composition to be planted was selected based on the target community type, observation of
occurrence of species in riparian buffers adjacent to the Site, availability of nursery stock, and best
professional judgement on species establishment and anticipated Site conditions in the early years
following project implementation. Species chosen for the planting plan are listed on table 28 below and
on Sheet 4.1 of the Preliminary Plans located in Appendix 12. Wildlands used the following community
types and associated speciesfor selection for the site:
• Piedmont/Low Mountain Alluvial Forest
Canopy trees include but not limited to Betula nigra, Platanus occidentalis, Liquidambar
styraciflua, Liriodendron tulipifera, Ulmus americana, Celtis laevigata,Juglans nigra, Fraxinus
pennsylvanica, Carya cordiformis, Carya ovata, Quercus imbricaria, and Acer rubrum. Subcanopy
trees typically found in mesic mixed hardwood forest include Acer negundo,Acer floridanum,
Acer rubrum,Asimina triloba, Ilex opaca, and Carpinus caroliniana.
• Mesic Mixed Hardwood Forest
Canopy trees include but not limited to Fagus grandifolia, Quercus rubra, Liridondron tulipifera,
Acer rubrum,Acer saccharum, Tsuga canadensis. Subcanopy trees in mixed hardwood forest
include Cornus florida, Ostrya virginiana, Evonymus americana, Kalmia latifolia.
• Piedmont Bottomland Forest
Canopy trees include but not limited to Liriodendron tulipifera, Liquidambar styraciflua, Quercus
pagoda, Quercus michauxii, Ulmus american, Celtis laevigata, Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Pinus
taeda, Carya Ovata, and Craya cordiformus. Subcanopy trees typically found in bottomland
forest include Carpinus caroliniana,Acer floridanum,Acer rubrum, Cornus florida, Ilex opaca,
and Asiminia triloba.
• Dry—Mesic Oak—Hickory Forest
Canopy trees include but not limited to Quercus alba, rubra, velutina, and muehlenbergii, Carya
alba(tomentosa), glabra, and ovalis, Liriodendron tulipifera, Liquidambar styraciflua and various
Pinus species. Subcanopy trees typically include Acer rubrum, Cornus florida, Oxydendrum
arborem, Ilex opaca, and Nyssa sylvatica.
The riparian buffer and most wetland areas will be planted with bare root seedlings. In addition,the
stream banks will be planted with live stakes and the channel toe will be planted with multiple
herbaceous species. Permanent native herbaceous seed will be spread on streambanks,floodplain
areas, and wetlands including all disturbed areas within the project easement. Bare root seedlings and
Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No. 100120 Page 37 March 22, 2021

live stakes will be planted in the dormant season between November 15 and March 15. Figure 12
illustrates the proposed planting zones throughout the Site.
Land management activities on the site will largely focus on treating invasive plant populations and
pasture grasses. Existing invasive plant populations on the site include Bamboo (Phyllostachys aurea),
Chinese privet(Ligustrum sinense),Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica),Japanese knotweed
(Polygonum cuspidatum), kudzu (Pueraria montana), English ivy(Hedera helix) and marsh dewflower
(Murdannia keisak). Limited populations of multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora) also exist on the site. Some
of the existing invasive species and pasture grasses along restoration and enhancement reaches will be
treated preconstruction,while others will be treated primarily by mechanical removal during
construction.The extent of invasive species coverage will be monitored, mapped, and controlled as
necessary throughout the required monitoring period. Please refer to Appendix 8 for the post
construction invasive species plan. Additional monitoring and maintenance issues regarding vegetation
are in Sections 8 and 9 and Appendix 10.

6.10 Project Risk Management
The risks for the final design, construction and monitoring and long-term success of this project have
been considered and evaluated for mitigation and minimization of identified risks.The summary below
discusses common and perceived project-specific risks, including permitting issues, easement issues,
instability or compromised function of stream or wetland assets, issues with crossing stability or use,
adjacent and upstream land use considerations, and invasive species concerns.
Urban flows from Oak Hill Creek are a concern to the stability of channels and floodplains, particularly
on a short-term basis after construction due to flashy flows and an increased frequency of out-of-bank
events. Wildlands modified the approach to Reach 1 to include more comprehensive floodplain
establishment and address the issue with existing benching being inaccessible at flows below the 10-
year USGS return interval. Wildlands anticipates that a good stand of vegetation can be established on
floodplains to help reduce high flow impacts. In addition, floodplain roughening will be proposed on
floodplains using onsite wood and brush, live wattles or cuttings during the first dormant season, and/or
through shaping of hummocky topography to mimic natural floodplain roughness. A related concern is
the stability of crossings. In order to reduce crossing risk, Wildlands and the landowners were able to
agree on changing out a proposed culvert on Oak Hill Creek Reach 1 for a ford.The ford will allow for
W Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan
DMS ID No. 100120 Page 39 March 22, 2021

more natural floodplain grading and should be a more stable option on this creek influenced by an
urban flow regime. Both Oak Hill Creek and UT1 crossings have been designed so that the wide
floodplains can serve as a flood bypass of the proposed crossings. On UT1,this will allow flows in excess
of bankfull to access a wide floodplain on the right-hand side of the crossing, thereby relieving the
structure of excess stresses from high flow events or debris.
Wildlands had some concerns during development of the proposal that existing heavy use and cultivated
upland activities could impact project assets during heavy rainfall. As a result, two BMPs were proposed
to reduce the annual impact of upland runoff on water quality and to spread out and disperse more
these more concentrated flow paths over a broader area that would allow the natural buffer to function
as intended. Wildlands will observe BMP function and make minor adjustments as necessary to ensure
that the practices function sustainably on their own after vegetation establishes.
Invasive species management is a primary consideration on this Site. Primary risks are species spread
during construction and that species would compete with growth of native species, particularly woody
species.To combat these risks, Wildlands is performing pre-construction treatment and will perform
mechanical removal on areas within and beyond the easement boundary, and vigorous post-
construction inspection and treatment to reduce address initial vulnerability. Wildlands will perform
regular inspection and persistent treatment throughout the monitoring period to address the general
risks posed by competition from invasive species.
All stream and wetland projects have some risk for beaver colonization. There is no onsite evidence of
current or past beaver activity in the project limits. If beaver move into the project areas, Wildlands will
follow the Maintenance Plan (Appendix 10)to address the issue.
Should utility/roadway maintenance work occur in the future and encroach within the conservation
easement, Wildlands will follow the Maintenance Plan to repair disturbed signage or damaged stream
areas.
7.0 Performance Standards
The stream and wetland performance standards for the project will follow approved performance
standards presented in the DMS Mitigation Plan Template (Version 2.3,June 2017), the Annual

9.0 Long-Term Management Plan
The Site will be transferred to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality(NCDEQ)
Stewardship Program.This party shall serve as conservation easement holder and long-term steward for
the property and will conduct periodic inspection of the Site to ensure that restrictions required in the
conservation easement are upheld. Funding will be supplied by the responsible party on a yearly basis
until such time an endowment is established.The NCDEQ Stewardship Program is developing an
endowment system within the non-reverting, interest-bearing Conservation Lands Conservation Fund
Account.The use of funds from the Endowment Account will be governed by North Carolina General
Statue GS 113A-232(d)(3). Interest gained by the endowment fund may be used for the purpose of
stewardship, monitoring, stewardship administration, and land transaction costs, if applicable.
The Stewardship Program will periodically install signage as needed to identify boundary markings as
needed. Any livestock or associated fencing or permanent crossings will be the responsibility the owner
of the underlying fee to maintain.
The Site Protection Instrument can be found in Appendix 9. Activities included in the long-term

11.0 Determination of Credits
The final stream credits associated with the Site are listed in Table 32. Stream restoration is proposed at
a ratio of 1:1 and stream enhancement and at a ratio of 1.5:1 (for El) and 8:1 (for Ell). Wetland re-
establishment is proposed at 1:1, rehabilitation is proposed at 1:1 for enhancement of low NCWAM
rating wetlands that are currently being farmed or are actively maintained ditches and 1.5:1 for
rehabilitation of moderate NCWAM rating wetlands (see Table 12 for NCWAM rating), and creation is
proposed at 3:1. No credit is sought for BMPs, nor for proposed channel extensions of UT2 and UT3 to
tie into the realigned Oak Hill Creek mainstem channel.
Buffers proposed throughout the Site meet the minimum required 50-foot standard width for Piedmont
streams, and in most cases,far exceed it.The credit release schedule is provided in Appendix 13.

APPENDIX 2—Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination

U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS
WILMINGTON DISTRICT
Action Id. SAW-2019-00833 County: Gaston U.S.G.S. Quad:NC-Lincolnton West
NOTIFICATION OF JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION
Requestor: North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality
Matthew Reid
Address: 5 Ravenscroft Dr Suite 102
Asheville,NC 28801
Telephone Number: [phone]
E-mail: [e-mail]
Size(acres) 57 Nearest Town Cherryville
Nearest Waterway Indian Creek River Basin Santee
USGS HUC 03050102 Coordinates Latitude: 35.403670
Longitude:-81.351360
Location description: Project is located at 610 Roy Eaker Road,Cherryville,Gaston County,North Carolina.Parcels includes
PINs2691-90-0340,2690-89-1706,2690-79-8897 and 3601-00-0464.
Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
A. Preliminary Determination
There appear to be waters on the above described project area/property,that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water
Act(CWA)(33 USC § 1344)and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act(RHA)(33 USC§403). The waters have been
delineated,and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently accurate and reliable. The approximate boundaries
of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated 12/7/2020.Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction determination
may be used in the permit evaluation process,including determining compensatory mitigation.For purposes of computation of
impacts,compensatory mitigation requirements,and other resource protection measures,a permit decision made on the basis of a
preliminary JD will treat all waters and wetlands that would be affected in any way by the permitted activity on the site as if they
are jurisdictional waters of the U.S.This preliminary determination is not an appealable action under the Regulatory Program
Administrative Appeal Process(Reference 33 CFR Part 331).However,you may request an approved JD,which is an appealable
action,by contacting the Corps district for further instruction.
❑ There appear to be waters on the above described project area/property,that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water
Act(CWA)(33 USC § 1344)and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act(RHA)(33 USC§403).However,since the waters
have not been properly delineated,this preliminary jurisdiction determination may not be used in the permit evaluation process.
Without a verified wetland delineation,this preliminary determination is merely an effective presumption of CWA/RHA
jurisdiction over all of the waters at the project area,which is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable
permit decision.We recommend that you have the waters on your project area/property delineated.As the Corps may not be able
to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner,you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can
be verified by the Corps.
B. Approved Determination

1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in the
review area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option to request
and obtain an approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an informed decision after
having discussed the various types of JDs and their characteristics and circumstances when
they may be appropriate.
2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a Nationwide
General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre- construction
notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non-reporting NWP or other general
permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an AJD for the activity, the permit
applicant is hereby made aware that: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit
authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an official determination of
jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2)the applicant has the option to request an AJD before
accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit
authorization on an AJD could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being
required or different special conditions; (3) the applicant has the right to request an
individual permit rather than accepting the terms and conditions of the NWP or other
general permit authorization; (4) the applicant can accept a permit authorization and
thereby agree to comply with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including
whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5)
undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without
requesting an AJD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the PJD; (6)
accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered individual permit) or undertaking
any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit authorization based on a PJD
constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the review area affected in any way by
that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and waives any challenge to such jurisdiction
in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement action, or in any administrative
appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD or
a PJD, the JD will be processed as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, a proffered
individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual permit
denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an
administrative appeal, it becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether
geographic jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an
official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will
provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds that
there "may be"waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be"navigable waters of the U.S.
on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review area that could
be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:

1. Channel Water-assessment reach metric(skip for Size 1 streams and Tidal Marsh Streams)
®A Water throughout assessment reach.
❑B No flow,water in pools only.
❑C No water in assessment reach.
2. Evidence of Flow Restriction-assessment reach metric
❑A At least 10% of assessment reach in-stream habitat or riffle-pool sequence is severely affected by a flow restriction or fill to the
point of obstructing flow or a channel choked with aquatic macrophytes or ponded water or impoundment on flood or ebb within
the assessment reach (examples: undersized or perched culverts,causeways that constrict the channel,tidal gates,debris jams,
beaver dams).
NotA
3. Feature Pattern-assessment reach metric
El A majority of the assessment reach has altered pattern (examples:straightening, modification above or below culvert).
ZB NotA
4. Feature Longitudinal Profile-assessment reach metric
❑A Majority of assessment reach has a substantially altered stream profile(examples: channel down-cutting,existing damming,over
widening, active aggradation, dredging, and excavation where appropriate channel profile has not reformed from any of these
disturbances).
▪ NotA
5. Signs of Active Instability-assessment reach metric
Consider only current instability, not past events from which the stream has currently recovered. Examples of instability include
active bank failure, active channel down-cutting(head-cut),active widening,and artificial hardening (such as concrete,gabion, rip-rap).
❑A < 10%of channel unstable
❑B 10 to 25%of channel unstable
®C >25%of channel unstable

6. Streamside Area Interaction-streamside area metric
Consider for the Left Bank(LB)and the Right Bank(RB).
LB RB
❑A ❑A Little or no evidence of conditions that adversely affect reference interaction
®B ®B Moderate evidence of conditions (examples: berms, levees, down-cutting, aggradation, dredging)that adversely affect
reference interaction(examples: limited streamside area access,disruption of flood flows through streamside area,leaky
or intermittent bulkheads,causeways with floodplain constriction,minor ditching[including mosquito ditching])
❑C ❑C Extensive evidence of conditions that adversely affect reference interaction (little to no floodplain/intertidal zone access
[examples: causeways with floodplain and channel constriction,bulkheads,retaining walls,fill,stream incision,disruption
of flood flows through streamside area]or too much floodplain/intertidal zone access[examples:impoundments,intensive
mosquito ditching]) or floodplain/intertidal zone unnaturally absent or assessment reach is a man-made feature on an
interstream divide
7. Water Quality Stressors-assessment reach/intertidal zone metric
Check all that apply.
❑A Discolored water in stream or intertidal zone(milky white, blue, unnatural water discoloration,oil sheen,stream foam)
❑B Excessive sedimentation (burying of stream features or intertidal zone)
❑C Noticeable evidence of pollutant discharges entering the assessment reach and causing a water quality problem
❑D Odor(not including natural sulfide odors)
❑E Current published or collected data indicating degraded water quality in the assessment reach. Cite source in "Notes/Sketch"
section.
❑F Livestock with access to stream or intertidal zone
❑G Excessive algae in stream or intertidal zone
❑H Degraded marsh vegetation in the intertidal zone(removal,burning, regular mowing,destruction,etc)

INTRODUCTION
Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA(S&EC, PA) was retained to perform an evaluation to assess the
presence and extent of hydric soils onsite. Proposed Wetland area 1 is currently planted in winter wheat
or fallow and Proposed Wetland 3 is mostly fescue grass. Proposed Wetland areas 2 and 4 have been
maintained in the past but currently have mostly herbaceous vegetation with some small saplings
intermixed. Proposed Wetland areas 1 and 3 contained hydric soil indicators F3, F19 or both within 10" of
the surface while Proposed Wetland areas 2 &4 contained some borings with hydric soil indicators
present at depths greater than 10" but less than or equal to 18". (see attached Figure A-Soil
Investigation Map)
METHODOLOGY
On December 27th, 2018 and March 6th, 2020 Kevin Martin (LSS, PWS) of S&EC, PA performed hydric soil
evaluations at the site. Ninety-one Hand auger borings were advanced on the property at locations as
appropriate to approximately estimate the location and extent of hydric soils within the project area (see
attached Figure A- Soil investigation Map). Each soil boring was evaluated to assess the presence or
absence of hydric soil indicators. Hydric soil indicators were identified utilizing the NRCS Field Indicators
of Hydric Soils in the Unities States-A Guide for Identifying and Delineating Hydric Soils (Version 8.2,
2018).
All areas evaluated are mapped as the somewhat poorly drained Chewacla soil series (Fine-loamy, mixed,
active,thermic Fluvaquentic Dystrudepts) except for a few small areas along the western perimeter of
Proposed Wetland 1 that were mapped as the well-drained Pacolet soil series. Most hydric soils observed
onsite within Proposed Wetlands areas 1 and 3 were more like the Wehadkee soil series (Fine-loamy,
mixed, active, nonacid, thermic Fluvaquentic Endoaquepts) because they contained a horizon with a
dominant chroma of 2 or less in the upper 20 inches of the soil.While most of the soils in Proposed
Wetland area 2 and 4 were more like the Chewacla soil series since they have a horizon with a dominant
chroma of more than 2 in the upper 20 inches of the soil.
Non hydric soils observed along the perimeter of the Proposed Wetland areas 1 and 3 were most like the
well to moderately well drained Congaree soil series,The Congaree soils were generally present close to
the streams.
RESULTS
Approximately 91 soil borings were performed within the study area. Soil characteristics were
evaluated and all areas identified as containing hydric soils met the hydric soil criteria described
below.
Soil boring locations are indicated on the attached Figure A- Soil Investigation Map. The type of
hydric soil indicator at each boing is shown on the Soil Investigation Map. The depth to the
hydric soil indicator(s) for each boring is listed within Table 1— Depth to Hydric Soil Indicator and
Type.

Red circles on the Map are borings where hydric soil indicators were not observed in the top
10" of the soil profile. Hydric indicators may have been observed below 10" of the soil surface
depending on the boring location (see the attached table for further details).
Orange circles on the Map—are borings where hydric soil indicators were not observed in the
top 10" of the soil profile, but were observed within 18" of the current soil surface. This area
seems to contain a buried hydric soil that existed prior to 1956. A review of aerial photos in 1938
and 1951 show that the stream in this area was at a different location (further south) than its
present location. The realignment of the stream appears to have resulted in side-cast material
from the rerouted stream being deposited in this area. One can still see an "unnatural"
landsurface elevation change adjacent to where the original stream location appears to have
been.This explains why the area at toeslope of the upland south of the existing stream contains
hydric soils but the area between there and the stream contain hydric indicators deeper in the
soil profile. Soil profile description bh57N is typical of this area. Soil profile description bh66N is
believed to be at a point where the pre1956 stream was originally located. (see the attached
Table 1— Depth to Hydric Soil Indicator and Type for further details).
Blue Plus Signs and Blue Circles- are hydric soil areas containing a depleted matrix (F3) indicator
within 10" of current land surface (these borings may also have had the F19 indicator above the
F3, see the attached Table 1 for details of where this occurred). Soil profile BH15 and bh56A are
representative of these areas.
Green Triangles and Green Circles- are hydric soils areas containing a Piedmont floodplain
indicator F19 within 10" but not a depleted matrix F3 within 10" (these borings may have also
had the F3 indicator below the F19 indicator, see the attached Table 1 for further details). Soil
profile description BH16 is typical of this area.
Indicator F3: Depleted Matrix
Technical Description: A layer that has a depleted matrix with 60 percent
or more chroma of 2 or less and that has a minimum thickness of either:
(a) 2 in. (5 cm) if the 2 in. (5 cm) is entirely within the upper 6 in. (15 cm)
of the soil, or
(b) 6 in. (15 cm) starting within 10 in. (25 cm) of the soil surface.
Indicator F19: Piedmont Floodplain Soils
On flood plain, a mineral layer at least 15 cm (6 inches) thick, starting at a depth <25cm (10
inches) from the soil surface, with a matrix (60 percent or more of the volume) chroma of less
than 4 and 20 percent or more distinct or prominent redox concentrations occurring as soft
masses or pore linings.

Project Description
The Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site is a stream and wetland mitigation project involving stream preservation,
enhancement II, and restoration,wetland re-establishment, and stormwater BMPs. The adjacent land use is currently
agricultural fields that is extensively impacted by cattle grazing and crop land. This project will improve water quality
and ecology in this water supply watershed through cattle exclusion, buffer reforestation, reconnecting streams to the
historic floodplain, restoring stream shape and function, and installation of two agricultural BMPs to treat overland flow
from dairy feedlot.

SUMMARY

Comprehensive Environmental Response,Compensation, and Liability Act(CERCLA)
The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) provides a
Federal "Superfund"to clean up uncontrolled or abandoned hazardous-waste sites as well as accidents,
spills, and other emergency releases of pollutants and contaminants into the environment.
As the Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site is a full-delivery project; an EDR Radius Map Report with Geocheck
was ordered for the site through Environmental Data Resources, Inc on December 12, 2018. Neither the
target property nor the adjacent properties were listed in any of the Federal, State, or Tribal
environmental databases searched by the EDR.The assessment revealed no evidence of any"recognized
environmental conditions" in connection with the target property.
The target property, Eaker Dairy, Inc., has an active NPDES permit(National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System) and an active AOP (Air Operating Permit) associated with the cattle waste lagoon
located on the target property. The lagoon is located outside of the Oak Hill Dairy conservation
easement and will not be disturbed by the stream and wetland mitigation project. The dairy is in full
compliance with their NPDES and AOC permits.
The Executive Summary of the EDR report is included in the Appendix.The full report is available if
needed.
National Historic Preservation Act(Section 106)
The National Historic Preservation Act declares a national policy of historic preservation to protect,
rehabilitate, restore, and reuse districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects significant in American
architecture, history, archaeology, and culture, and Section 106 mandates that federal agencies take
into account the effect of an undertaking on a property that is included in, or is eligible for inclusion in,
the National Register of Historic Places.
The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) responded to a United States Army Corps of Engineers
public notice requesting comment on the Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site on July 12, 2019. SHPO stated
they were aware of"no historic resources which would be affected by the project" and would have no
further comment. All correspondence related to Section 106 is included in the Appendix.
Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act(Uniform Act)
These acts, collectively known as the Uniform Act, provide for uniform and equitable treatment of
persons displaced from their homes, businesses, non-profit associations, or farms by federal and
federally-assisted programs, and establish uniform and equitable land acquisition policies.
Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site is a full-delivery project that includes land acquisition. Notification of the
fair market value of the project property and the lack of condemnation authority by Wildlands was
included in the signed Option Agreements for the project properties. A copy of the relevant section of
each of the Option Agreements are included in the Appendix.
American Indian Religious Freedom Act(AIRFA)
The American Indian Religious Freedom Act provides for the protection and preservation of places of
religious importance to American Indians, Eskimos, and Native Hawaiians.
The Cherokee Nation Tribal Historic Preservation Office (THPO) commented on the project, July 17,
2019, in response to the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) public notice for the project.
The Cherokee Nation THPO stated they "did not foresee this project imparting impacts to Cherokee
cultural resources at this time." NCDMS requested additional review and comment from the Eastern
Band of Cherokee Indians THPO and the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee THPO with respect to any

archeological or religious resources related to the Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site on June 19, 2019. At this
time, DMS has not received a response from either the Eastern Bank of Cherokee or the Untied
Keetoowah Band of Cherokee.
All correspondence related to AIRFA is included in the Appendix.
Endangered Species Act (ESA)
Section 7 of the ESA requires federal agencies, in consultation with and with the assistance of the
Secretary of the Interior or of Commerce, as appropriate,to ensure that actions they authorize,fund or
carry out are not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of threatened or endangered species or
result in the destruction or adverse modification of critical habitat for these species.
The Gaston County listed endangered species includes the bog turtle (Glyptemys muhlenbergii),the
northern long-eared bat(NLEB) (Myotis septentrionalis),the dwarf-flowered heartleaf(Hexastylis
naniflora), and the Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii). The United States Fish and Wildlife
Service (USFWS) does not currently list any Critical Habitat Designations for the Federally listed species
within Gaston County nor are there any current known occurrences of the above listed species within a
2-mile radius of the project site.The project site is located more than 40 miles from the nearest known
hibernaculum for the NLEB. (https://www.fws.gov/asheville/htmis/project_review/NLEB_in_WNC.html).
Results of a pedestrian survey conducted on June 18, 2019, indicated that the project area provides
potential summer roosting for the NLEB and areas of suitable habitat for the bog turtle,the dwarf-
flowered heartleaf, and the Schweinitz's sunflower. No individuals or populations of the four above
referenced species were documented on-site.
NLEB
Wildlands determined the project "may affect, not likely to adversely affect"the NLEB. Forested
habitats containing trees at least 3-inch dbh in the project area provide suitable habitat for NLEB. Due to
the decline of the NLEB population from the White Nose Syndrome (WNS),the United States Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS) has issued the finalization of a special rule under section 4(d) of the ESA to
addresses the effects to the NLEB resulting from purposeful and incidental take based on the occurrence
of WNS. Because the project is located within a WNS zone and will include the removal/clearing of trees,
it is subject to the final 4(d) ruling. As previously stated, a review of NCNHP records did not indicate any
known NLEB populations within 2.0 mile of the study area; therefore,the project is eligible to use the
NLEB 4(d) Rule Streamlined Consultation Form to meet regulatory requirements for section 7(a)(2)
compliance 4(d) consultation. The completed NLEB 4(d) Consultation Form was submitted to the
USFWS by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) on July 17, 2019.
Bog Turtle
Wildlands determined the project "may affect, not likely to adversely affect"the bog turtle; however, it
is listed due to similarity of appearance and is not subject to Section 7 consultation.
Dwarf-flowered heartleaf and the Scweinitz's sunflower
Wildlands determined the project will have "no effect" on the two listed plant species (dwarf-flowered
heartleaf and the Schweinitz's sunflower).Though the survey was performed outside of the blooming
season for the sunflower, no populations resembling the species were found on-site;therefore,
Wildlands is confident with the determination of"no effect" outside of the blooming season for this
species.

DMS#100120 2

To meet regulatory requirements, a scoping letter requesting comment from the USFWS was sent on
June 14, 2019. No response from the USFWS was received within the 45-day response period.
Therefore,the signing of the NLEB 4(d) Rule Streamlined Consultation Form by the FHWA determines
that this project may affect the NLEB, but that any resulting incidental take of the NLEB is not prohibited
by the final 4(d) rule. A FHWA signed 4(d) Consultation Form and the correspondence associated with
this determination are included in the Appendix.
Farmland Protection Policy Act(FPPA)
The FPPA requires that, before taking or approving any federal action that would result in conversion of
farmland,the agency must examine the effects of the action using the criteria set forth in the FPPA, and,
if there are adverse effects, must consider alternatives to lessen them.
Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site includes the conversion of prime farmland. As such, Form AD-1006 has
been completed and submitted to the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).The completed
form and correspondence documenting its submittal is included in the Appendix.
Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act(FWCA)
The FWCA requires consultation with the USFWS and the appropriate state wildlife agency on projects
that alter or modify a water body. Reports and recommendations prepared by these agencies document
project effects on wildlife and identify measures that may be adopted to prevent loss or damage to
wildlife resources.
The Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site includes stream and wetland restoration. Wildlands requested
comment on the project from both the USFWS and the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission
(NCWRC) on June 14, 2019. No response from the USFWS was received within the 45-day response
period. Therefore,Wildlands assumes USFWS has no comments regarding associated laws and do not
have any information relevant to the project at the current time. NCWRC responded to the scoping
letter on August 7, 2019 that they have no known records of state or federally-listed rare, threatened, or
endangered species within or near the project area. All correspondence with the two agencies is
included in the appendix.
Migratory Bird Treaty Act(MBTA)
The MBTA makes it unlawful for anyone to kill, capture, collect, possess, buy, sell,trade, ship, import, or
export any migratory bird.The indirect killing of birds by destroying their nests and eggs is covered by
the MBTA, so construction in nesting areas during nesting seasons can constitute a taking.
Wildlands requested comment on the Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site from the USFWS in regard to
migratory birds on June 14, 2019.The USFWS has not responded at this time. All correspondence with
USFWS is included in the Appendix.

Re: Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site
Mr. Paul Wiesner:
The Cherokee Nation (Nation) is in receipt of your correspondence about Oak Hill Dairy
Mitigation Site, and appreciates the opportunity to provide comment upon this project. Please
allow this letter to serve as the Nation's interest in acting as a consulting party to this proposed
project.
The Nation maintains databases and records of cultural, historic, and pre-historic resources in this
area. Our Historic Preservation Office reviewed this project, cross referenced the project's legal
description against our information, and found no instances where this project intersects or adjoins
such resources. Thus, the Nation does not foresee this project imparting impacts to Cherokee
cultural resources at this time.
However, the Nation requests that the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality
(NCDEQ)halt all project activities immediately and re-contact our Offices for further consultation
if items of cultural significance are discovered during the course of this project.
Additionally, the Nation requests that NCDEQ conduct appropriate inquiries with other pertinent
Tribal and Historic Preservation Offices regarding historic and prehistoric resources not included
in the Nation's databases or records.
If you require additional information or have any questions,please contact me at your convenience.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Subject: Request for Project Review and Comments
Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site
Gaston County,North Carolina
Dear Ms. Gimbert,
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission(NCWRC)received your request to
review and comment on any possible concerns regarding the Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site. Biologists
with NCWRC have reviewed the provided documents. Comments are provided in accordance with
provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act(48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667e)and
North Carolina General Statutes(G.S. 113-131 et seq.).
The Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site is located southeast of the intersection of Roy Eaker Road and Robert
Road in Cherryville, Gaston County,North Carolina. The site occurs within an existing livestock
pasture/dairy feedlot, agricultural fields, and forested area. The project will provide in-kind mitigation for
unavoidable impacts to streams and wetlands within the Catawba River Basin(HUC 03050102). The
project will restore, enhance, or preserve portions of Oak Hill Creek, its unnamed tributaries, and
wetlands. Two stormwater BMP's are proposed for the project to filter runoff from the dairy feedlot.
We have no known state or federally-listed rare,threatened, or endangered species within or near the
project area. The lack of records from the site does not imply or confirm the absence of federal or state-
listed species. An on-site survey is the only means to determine if the proposed project may impact
federal or state rare,threatened, or endangered species.
Based upon the information provided to NCWRC, it is unlikely that stream and wetland mitigation will
adversely affect any federal or state-listed species. However,we recommend leaving snags and mature
trees or if necessary,remove tees outside the maternity roosting season for bats(May 15—August 15).
We recommend that riparian buffers are as wide as possible, given site constraints and landowner needs.
NCWRC generally recommends a woody buffer of 100 feet on perennial streams to maximize the
benefits of buffers, including bank stability, stream shading,treatment of overland runoff, and wildlife
habitat.

Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site
Gaston County
The use of biodegradable and wildlife-friendly sediment and erosion control devices is strongly
recommended. Silt fencing, fiber rolls and/or other products should have loose-weave netting that is
made of natural fiber materials with movable joints between the vertical and horizontal twines. Silt
fencing that has been reinforced with plastic or metal mesh should be avoided as it impedes the
movement of terrestrial wildlife species. Excessive silt and sediment loads can have detrimental effects
on aquatic resources including destruction of spawning habitat, suffocation of eggs, and clogging of gills.
Stream and wetland mitigation projects often improve water quality and aquatic habitat. Establishing
native, forested buffers in riparian areas will help protect water quality, improve aquatic and terrestrial
habitats, and provide a travel corridor for wildlife species. Provided measures are taken to minimize
erosion and sedimentation from construction/restoration activities,we do not anticipate the project to
result in significant adverse impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments. If I can be of additional assistance,please call(919)

Northern Long-Eared Bat 4(d) Rule Streamlined Consultation Form
Federal agencies should use this form for the optional streamlined consultation framework for the northern long-
eared bat(NLEB). This framework allows federal agencies to rely upon the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's
(USFWS)January 5,2016, intra-Service Programmatic Biological Opinion (BO)on the final 4(d)rule for the
NLEB for section 7(a)(2)compliance by; (1) notifying the USFWS that an action agency will use the streamlined
framework; (2)describing the project with sufficient detail to support the required determination; and(3) enabling
the USFWS to track effects and determine if reinitiation of consultation is required per 50 CFR 402.16.
This form is not necessary if an agency determines that a proposed action will have no effect to the NLEB or if
the USFWS has concurred in writing with an agency's determination that a proposed action may affect, but is not
likely to adversely affect the NLEB (i.e.,the standard informal consultation process). Actions that may cause
prohibited incidental take require separate formal consultation.Providing this information does not address
section 7(a)(2)compliance for any other listed species.
Information to Determine 4(d) Rule Compliance: YES NO
1. Does the project occur wholly outside of the WNS Zone'? ❑
2. Have you contacted the appropriate agency2 to determine if your project is near ® ❑
known hibernacula or maternity roost trees?
3. Could the project disturb hibernating NLEBs in a known hibernaculum? ❑

Project Name: Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site
Project Location (include coordinates if known): latitude 35.40305, longitude 81.35226
Basic Project Description (provide narrative below or attach additional information):
The Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site is being developed to provide stream and wetland mitigation. Wildlands' approach to the
project involves a multi-tiered approach including preservation,enhancement II,restoration,and wetland re-establishment. In
addition,two stormwater BMPs are proposed for the project to filter runoff from the dairy feedlot.The area surrounding the
streams and channels proposed for stream and wetland mitigation is currently agricultural fields, and extensively impacted by
cattle grazing and crop land.The dairy's primary waste lagoon drains to the proposed easement,and much of the floodplain
has been manipulated and ditched for crop drainage. This project will improve water quality and ecology in this water supply
watershed through cattle exclusion,buffer reforestation,reconnecting streams to the historic floodplain,restoring stream
shape and function,and installation of two agricultural best management practices(BMP)to treat overland flow.
Construction of the stream restoration project will include some tree removal(>3"DBH)—approximately 1.24 acres,

• Wildlands Engineering Technical Proposal dated 1/9/2019 in response to RFP#16-007704
• Preliminary Hydric Soil Investigation dated 1/5/2019 prepared by Soil & Environmental Consultants
Meeting Notes
1. It was noted that the site scored highly on the scoring form. Wildlands that the site was a high priority
site identified within a local watershed plan.
2. The site walk proceeded from downstream to upstream along the mainstem. Wildlands indicated that
the mainstem would be located away from the existing driveway out into the field to support wetland
hydrology (priority 1) with priority 2 segments at the lower end of the reach to transition to the existing
road crossing.
3. Todd/Mac noted that levees are typical along streams in the piedmont with Chewacla soils and
indicated that Wildlands should consider putting a gage in the existing/proposed near stream area to
document water levels and anticipate potential levy formation on the restored stream.

4. Test pits in wetland 1 yielded shallow hydric indicators, particularly off the existing stream levy.
5. Along mainstem Oak Hill Creek Reach 1 (enhancement 2), in response to IRT and DMS comment about
proposed activities being more typical of enhancement 1 level effort, Wildlands indicated that
enhancement 2 credit is being sought because the treatments are non-continuous in this reach. As an
example, it was pointed out that essentially no channel work is proposed at the top of the reach,
including an area with minor erosion into weathered bedrock. Wildlands indicated that the primary
activity proposed in the reach is stabilizing/grading outside meanders. (As an aside, IRT members
encouraged Wildlands to provide workplan in E1/E2 reaches in the future, as was recently provided on
Dynamite Creek, as they found this helpful in defining the specifics of reach treatments).
6. Evidence of historic drain tiles (wooden)were noted in the bank along this same enhancement 2 reach-
entering from the wetland 3 (left) side of the creek. Shawn noted that he'd seen tiles further
downstream as well.
7. Todd indicated that Wildlands should be aware of the potential buffer impacts of the proposed crossing
at the mainstem reach 1/2 break;the crossing is at a skew to match the skew of the sewerline crossing.
8. Todd indicated that upstream portion of Wetland 3 should be gaged to provide evidence of wetland
hydrology.
9. Wildlands would need to prove proposed wetland 2 is relic within area of deeper hydric soils for re-
establishment. Portions of wetland 2 with deeper hydric soils proposed for grading over 6 inches
without new evidence/justification would likely push into wetland creation with a higher mitigation
ratio. Todd and Mac both commented about the existing data and the borings conducted during the
visit pointing to a higher"risk"that hydric soils would not develop and/or that hydrologic criteria could
not be met. It was stated that design data and post-project data will have to support approach and
presented at the mitigation plan stage for IRT review.
10. Wildlands indicated that BMP 2 would be a depression to capture and treat runoff from feeding and
concentrated cattle use area.
11. IRT indicated that JD on UT1B would be important information in validating approach. Wildlands
indicated that UT1B was added to the project to preserve the source of hydrology against future impacts
should it be left out.
12. IRT asked how Wildlands justifies the restoration approach on upper part of UT1 (near UT1A) pointing to
some stable bed and bench features in the upper portion of the reach. Wildlands responded that the
culvert at the head of the reach is perched, and raising the stream at the top of the project, and moving
to a priority 1 as far upstream as possible, is important to the overall project approach.
13. Obvious evidence of cattle in the creek was noted in UT1.
14. Several discrete invasive species infestations were observed throughout the project area (kudzu,
knotweed, bamboo), including privet throughout the project area.
15. The group walked along UT1A which is slated for restoration and was an obvious wallow pit for cattle
and extremely degraded.
16. In summarizing the site visit,the approaches to project were agreed to with the exception of a section of
wetland 2 which is expected to be classified as creation due to the grading depth required to be
completed to reach hydric layers.

discussion, our follow-up efforts and some modifications:
UT1/Wetland 2
We believe our data supports the argument that this was filled. This data consists of(1) LSS report, (2) Sheet
3.3 showing narrow floodplain that doesn't jive with the rest of the valley, (3) historic aerials described by LSS
report.
Lower Oak Hill Creek/Wetland 1
We didn't discuss the sidecast pile next to the ditch in the far left portion of the floodplain. There didn't seem
to be concerns about the approach. This sidecast area accounts for 12,000 sq ft (or—1/2) of the remaining
total cut exceeding 12" in the Wetland 1 reestablishment and rehabilitation areas. We are still proposing this
for reestablishment credit as this is an obvious narrow linear feature along the length of the ditch and we are
not proposing to cut below the natural floodplain elevation.
We discussed the existing left creek bank at the lower end of the project and the LSS borings/boring
map. Predominant concerns were that the map indicates "no hydric indicator observed" and that the removal
of natural deposition or excavation to hydric soils that are not associated with disturbed or relic wetlands does
not constitute restoration.
Wildlands reviewed mapping, soil boring tables, and prepared 4 cross sections that go through the red-dotted
borings (BH19, BH14, BH13/bh19N, BH6/bh8N). Plan and cross section maps (1 & 2) are attached.
Two notes with regards to interpretation of the map-
(1) as stated in the LSS report, red circles are borings where hydric soil indicators were not observed in the top
10" but may have been observed below 10" (boring tables provide details) - 3 of the 6 red-dotted borings have
hydric soil indicators at 12" of depth, 2 have hydric soil indicators deeper, 1 is non-hydric (the LSS defines non-
hydric as indicators >24" of depth).
(2) there was some concern that the areas would be orange if they were buried hydric soils - orange was only
used in the case of Wetland #2 to indicate findings associated with a specific line of investigation associated
with relocation of UT1.
The aerial photo from 1950 in Appendix 1 shows the dredging of Oak Hill Creek and existing topography is
consistent with berms that would have been built up as a result of this effort. It is also noted that the field has
been under a high level of disturbance for decades, with row crops and at times a drainage ditch down the
middle of the valley. The valley contours suggest that berms were used to confine the creek channel and
i

ditches to keep the field dry and the valley itself extends beyond the right channel bank (the creek was moved
to the parcel boundary but not to the valley wall).
However, we acknowledge that our data is insufficient in the area in question to make a stronger argument for
restoration closer to the bank where the berm is higher and cut depths exceed 12" over much of the area. As
a results we have converted 0.50 acres from reestablishment to creation in this area.
The remaining areas of localized grading in excess of 12", apart from UT1 and the left floodplain ditch (which
are significant but discussed above), total to "6% of the reestablishment areas. These are mostly areas that we
believe have been built up and which are inconsistent with the natural valley surface and are being graded as
much for floodplain continuity as anything.
Let me know if you have any questions about what we've done here. If you feel that it fairly represents things then
please feel free to forward to Erin or let me know it's ok and I'll send to her.
Thanks for your efforts,
Jake

Hi Jake
I'm reviewing the Oak Hill Dairy draft mit plan and I was hoping you could provide a table that coincides with the
Wetland Grading figure with a breakdown of areas graded over 12". Perhaps broken out as acres of rehabilitation and
acres of re-establishment, along with percentages. I'm trying to get an overall idea of what percent of the areas
proposed for rehab & reestablishment require more earth moving. Will you also clarify if the deeper cut is due to stream
channel re-alignment and low grade, or is it to unearth hydric soils? I recall the field visit and the discussion of
questionable soils, so I was surprised to see some of the areas proposed for rehab rather than creation.
Also, please confirm whether the utility pole is located within the easement near UT1.
I'll be around most of tomorrow and Friday if you want to discuss. I'd rather get clarity on these questions now rather
than going back and forth with response to comments once the review is done.
Thanks
Kim

APPENDIX 8—Invasive Species Treatment Plan

Appendix 8 Invasive Species Plan
Annual monitoring and semi-annual site visits will be conducted to assess the condition of the finished
project.These site inspections may identify the presence of invasive vegetation. If, during the
monitoring period, invasive species threaten the survivability of planted woody vegetation in an area
that exceeds 1%of the planted easement acreage,the invasive species shall be treated. Smaller areas
may be treated at the discretion of the project engineer and biologist, if deemed in the best interest of
the Site. Generally,the treatment plan shall follow the below guidelines in Table 1 for common invasive
species found in riparian areas; however, the treatment may be changed based on the professional
judgement of the project engineer and biologist. For invasive species not listed in the below table that
threaten the survivability of the planted woody vegetation, Wildlands shall notify DMS of the invasive
species observed and the plan for treatment prior to treating the species. All invasive species treatment
will be reported in the following year's monitoring plan.

Small infestations of L.japonica can be pulled by hand. Monitor to remove any re-sprouts.
Care should be taken to bag and remove the plants, including mature fruits to prevent re-
establishment. Large infestations of L.japonica will usually require a combination of cut

to dormant hardwoods.Summer applications of glyphosate may not be as effective as
other times and require a higher percent solution.The best time for Arsenal AC*and Escort
XP* is summer to fall. For stems too tall for foliar sprays and when safety to surrounding
vegetation is desired,apply a basal spray of Garton 4 as a 20-percent solution (5 pints per
3-gallon mix) in a labeled basal oil product,vegetable oil or mineral oil with a penetrant,or
fuel oil or diesel fuel (where permitted);or undiluted Pathfinder II. Elsewhere,apply
Stalker* as a 6-to 9-percent solution (1.5 to 2 pints per 3-gallon mix) in a labeled basal oil
product,vegetable oil or mineral oil with a penetrant,or fuel oil or diesel fuel (where
permitted)to young bark as a basal spray making certain to treat all stems in a clump; or
cut and immediately treat the stump tops with Arsenal AC* as a 5-percent solution (20
ounces per 3-gallon mix)or Velpar L* as a 10-percent solution in water(1 quart per 3-
gallon mix)with a surfactant.When safety to surrounding vegetation is desired,
immediately treat stump tops and sides with Garlon 3A or with a glyphosate herbicide as a
20-percent solution (5 pints per 3-gallon mix) in water with a surfactant. ORTHO Brush-B-
Gon and Enforcer Brush Killer are effective undiluted for treating cut-stumps and available
in retail garden stores(safe to surrounding plants). For large stems, make stem injections
using Arsenal AC* or when safety to surrounding vegetation is desired,Garlon 3A or a
glyphosate herbicide using dilutions and cut-spacings specified on the herbicide label
(anytime except March and April).An EZ-Ject tree injector can help to reach the lower part
of the main stem;otherwise, every branching trunk must be hack-and-squirt injected.
Small patches of P. montana that are not well-established can usually be eliminated by
persistent weeding, mowing, or grazing during the growing season.The spread of a well-
established infestation of P. montana can be controlled the same way, but cutting will
typically not kill the roots of larger plants. For vines in tree canopies,cut the vines near the
ground and apply a 50 percent solution of triclopyr to the stumps.This procedure remains
Kudzu effective at lower temperatures as long as the ground is not frozen. Large infestations can
(Pueraria be effectively controlled with a foliar solution of 2 to 3 percent glyphosate or triclopyr plus
montana) a 0.5 percent non-ionic surfactant to thoroughly wet all leaves.The ambient air
temperature should be above 65 degrees Fahrenheit.After the above ground vegetation is
controlled and it is possible to dig and cut into the central root crown,apply a 50 percent
solution of glyphosate or triclopyr to the wound.The most successful chemical control of P.
montana can be achieved with a foliar solution of 0.75 percent clopyralid plus a 0.5 percent
non-ionic surfactant. Monitor all treatments in subsequent years for re-sprouting.
Thoroughly wet all leaves(until runoff)with one of the following herbicides in water with a
surfactant(July to October for successive years): Garlon 3A or Garlon 4 as a 3-to 5-percent
solution (12 to 20 ounces per 3-gallon mix)or a glyphosate herbicide as a 4-percent
English Ivy solution (1 pint per 3-gallon mix). Use a string trimmer to reduce growth layers and injure
(Hedera helix) leaves for improved herbicide uptake. Cut large vines and apply these herbicides to cut
surfaces. Or apply basal sprays of Garlon 4 as a 20-percent solution in a labeled basal oil
product,vegetable oil, kerosene,or diesel fuel (where permitted)(5 pints per 3-gallon
mix);or apply undiluted Pathfinder II to large vines,avoiding the bark of desirable trees.
Recommended control procedures:
Thoroughly wet all leaves with one of the following herbicides in water with a surfactant
(June to October with multiple applications applied to regrowth).
Johnson Grass • Recommendation for mature grass control:apply Outrider*as a broadcast spray at 0.75
(Sorghum to 2 ounces per acre(0.2 to 0.6 dry ounce per 3-gallon mix) plus a nonionic surfactant to
halepense) actively growing Johnsongrass. For handheld and high-volume sprayers, apply 1 ounce of
Outrider per 100 gallons of water plus a nonionic surfactant at 0.25 percent. Outrider is a
selective herbicide that can be applied over the top of certain other grasses to kill
Johnsongrass,or apply Plateau as a 0.25-percent solution (1 ounce per 3-gallon mix)when
plants are 18 to 24 inches(45 to 60 cm)tall or larger.

ounces per 3-gallon mix) before Johnsongrass sprouts and when desirable species are
dormant or apply a glyphosate herbicide as a 2-percent solution (8 ounces per 3-gallon
mix)directed at the infestation.

APPENDIX 10—Maintenance Plan

Appendix 10 Maintenance Plan
The site shall be visited semi-annually and a physical inspection of the site shall be conducted a
minimum of once per year throughout the post-construction monitoring period until performance
standards are met.These site inspections may identify site components and features that require
routine maintenance. Routine maintenance should be expected most often in the first two years
following site construction and may include the following:
Table 1. Maintenance Plan—Oak Hill Dairy Mitigation Site
Component/
Maintenance through project close-out
Feature
Routine channel maintenance and repair activities may include chinking of in-stream
structures to prevent piping,securing of loose coir matting, and supplemental installations
of live stakes and other target vegetation along the channel—these shall be conducted
where success criteria are threatened or at the discretion of the Designer.Areas where
Stream storm water and floodplain flows intercept the channel may also require maintenance to
prevent bank failures and head-cutting. Beaver activity will be monitored and beaver dams
on project streams will typically be removed,at the discretion of the Designer, during the
monitoring period to allow for bank stabilization and stream development outside of this
type of influence.
Routine wetland maintenance and repair activities may include supplemental installations of
Wetlands target vegetation within the wetland.Areas where storm water and floodplain flows
intercept the wetland may also require maintenance to prevent scour that adversely and
persistently threatens wetland habitat or function.
Vegetation shall be maintained to ensure the health and vigor of the targeted community.
Routine vegetation maintenance and repair activities may include supplemental planting,
Vegetation pruning, mulching,and fertilizing. Exotic invasive plant species requiring treatment per the
Invasive Species Treatment Plan (Appendix 8)shall be treated in accordance with that plan
and with NC Department of Agriculture(NCDA) rules and regulations.
Site boundaries shall be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between the
mitigation site and adjacent properties. Boundaries may be identified by fence, marker,
Site boundary bollard, post,tree-blazing,or other means as allowed by site conditions and/or conservation
easement. Boundary markers disturbed,damaged,or destroyed will be repaired and/or
replaced on an as-needed basis.

APPENDIX 13—Credit Release Schedule

Appendix 13 - Credit Release Schedule and Supporting Information
All credit releases will be based on the total credit generated as reported by the as-built survey of the
mitigation site. Under no circumstances shall any mitigation project be debited until the necessary
Department of the Army(DA) authorization has been received for its construction or the District
Engineer(DE) has otherwise provided written approval for the project in the case where no DA
authorization is required for construction of the mitigation project.The DE, in consultation with the
Interagency Review Team (IRT), will determine if performance standards have been satisfied sufficiently
to meet the requirements of the release schedules below. In cases where some performance standards
have not been met, credits may still be released depending on the specifics of the case. Monitoring may
be required to restart or be extended, depending on the extent to which the site fails to meet the
specified performance standard.The release of project credits will be subject to the criteria described as
follows:

1.1 Initial Allocation of Released Credits
For this NCDMS project, no initial release of credits is provided.To account for this,the 15%credit
release typically associated with the site establishment is held until completion of all initial physical and
biological improvements made pursuant to the Mitigation Plan. In order for NCDMS to receive the 30%
release (shown in Tables A and B as Milestone 2), they must comply with the credit release
requirements stated in Section IV(I)(3) of the approved NCDMS instrument.
1.2 Subsequent Credit Releases
All subsequent credit releases must be approved by the DE, in consultation with the IRT, based on a
determination that required performance standards have been achieved.
The following conditions apply to credit release schedules:
a. A reserve of 10%of site's total stream credits will be release after four bankfull events have
occurred, in separate years, provided the channel is stable and all other performance standards
are met. In the event that less than four bankfull events occur during the monitoring period,
release of these reserve credits is at the discretion of the NCIRT.
b. After the second milestone,the credit releases are scheduled to occur on an annual basis,
assuming that the annual monitoring report has been provided to the USACE in accordance with
Section IV(General Monitoring Requirements) of this document, and that the monitoring report
demonstrates that interim performance standards are being met and that no other concerns
have been identified on-site during the visual monitoring. All credit releases require written
approval from the USACE.
c. The credits associated with the final credit release milestone will be released only upon a
determination by the USACE, in consultation with the NCIRT, of functional success as defined in
the Mitigation Plan.
As projects approach milestones associated with credit release, the DMS will submit a request for credit
release to the DE along with documentation substantiating achievement of criteria required for release
to occur.This documentation will be included with the annual monitoring report.
