Erin Davis Please give a brief project description below and include location information. * We believe that a pre -filing meeting is unnecessary for this project, because a post -contract IRT meeting was held on 9/27/18 and the DWR representative who attended this meeting was Mac Haupt. The UT to Magness Creek mitigation project is located in Cleveland County, NC, east of the Town of Lawndale, within the Broad River Basin (03050105) and the NC DMS Targeted Local Watershed (TLW) 03050105080060. Located within a water supply watershed (WS-IV), the project drains directly to Magness Creek and the First Broad River, which is a drinking water source for the City of Shelby and other downstream municipalities. Existing reaches within the project site flow to the south- southwest where the downstream extent of the project is bordered by Selkirk Drive. The existing stream reaches have been significantly impacted by unrestricted livestock access and the removal or impairment of riparian buffers. Most of the project reaches are incised, unstable, and exhibit areas of active bank erosion from both high flows and livestock access. Riparian buffer vegetation varies from areas with no woody buffer vegetation to areas with large trees but at low density and without any significant understory. The project will involve the restoration and enhancement of approximately 3,385 LF of existing stream. Degraded riparian wetlands will be restored and/or enhanced with the implementation of Priority Level 1 restoration, livestock exclusion, and native riparian buffer plantings; however, no wetland credit is being sought. A Best Management Practice (BMP) in the form of a constructed wet pond will be installed in an unstable ephemeral drainage that receives run-off from an area that is frequently used by livestock. Native riparian buffers will be established along all proposed reaches. A conservation easement will be implemented along all project reaches in an excess of 50 feet from the top of bank and will incorporate some of the existing functional wetlands. Livestock will be excluded from the conservation easement with permanent fencing.
