Please give a brief project description below and include location information. *

The Project is located in Alamance County, approximately 13 miles
southwest of Burlington, NC near the intersection of Thom Road and
Highway 54 in the Cape Fear River Basin within Cataloging Unit
03030002, 03030002050040, and NC Division of Water Resources
(DWR) Sub -Basin 03-06-04. The Project consists of two parcels
totaling 46.42 acres of conservation easement. The Project has a
total drainage area of 458 acres and is mainly a mix of forested and
agricultural land including row crop and active pasture; aerial imagery
indicates that the Project area has historically served these land
uses. Stressors currently affecting the Project include row crop,
livestock production and a lack of riparian buffers.
The Project will involve the stream restoration, enhancement, and
preservation of several unnamed tributaries including, TR1 (TR1-A,
TR1-B, TR1-C, TR1-D, TR1-E, TR1-F), TR2, MN1 (MN1-A, MN1-B,
MN1-C), MN2 (MN2-A, MN2-B), MN3, MN4 (MN4-A, MN4-B), MN5
(MN5-A, MN5-B), MN6 (MN6-A, MN6-B), MN7 (MN7-A, MN7-B), and
MN8. Reaches are broken up by treatment type. TR1 flows east to
west towards Mineral Springs Road. MN1, MN2, MN3, and MN7 flow
south before coming to confluences with TR1. MN4, MN5, and MN6
flow north before coming to confluences with TR1. TR2 flows to the
west, paralleling TR1-C before draining to it, just before the
confluence of TR1-D and MN5-B. In addition to the stream reaches,
there are multiple degraded wetland areas within the project area that
have been impacted by livestock access and/or ditching. The
conceptual design presents 12,899 linear feet of stream mitigation
generating 7,074.796 Stream Mitigation Units (SMU) and 0.58 acres
of wetland mitigation generating 0.139 Wetland Mitigation Units
(WMU). In addition to stream and wetland mitigation, the Project also
presents the opportunity to provide up to 44 acres of Riparian Buffer
Mitigation generating 16.05 acres of Riparian Buffer Credits. The
Project will provide critical ecological uplift to aquatic and riparian
corridors that would otherwise be even further degraded by
agricultural uses and continued livestock access.
Please give a couple of dates you are available for a meeting.
