The presence of this invasive species is limited and is not widespread throughout the site There are two hydrologic features on the site. The first, UT Bear Creek, has been restored by altering the dimension, pattern, and profile and is controlled vertically by numerous bedrock outcrops and cross vanes The second feature is UT 2 and it has been divided into two reaches, UT 2A, which was enhanced, and UT 2B, which was restored UT 2A is a straight channel that begins at Station 30 +00. This reach already had banks stabilized by the mature trees that line both sides of the channel for the length of the reach This reach was enhanced by planting native vegetation in the riparian buffer beyond the top of bank UT 2B begins where UT 2A ends at the ford crossing at Station 39 +75 This reach was restored by changing the dimension, pattern and profile of the channel from the ford to the confluence with UT Bear Creek During the fourth -year monitoring the site was also examined for stream stability and potential problem areas UT Bear Creek is predominantly stable throughout the project There is one area of floodplain erosion that has been noted in previous reports and currently is no longer active The area has now filled in with vegetation Also noted in last year's monitoring report and still present is a beaver dam downstream of the site that is creating backwater conditions in the lower portions of UT Bear Creek up to Station 23 +00 The downstream portion of UT 2 is less backwatered than the previous year UT 2 is predominantly stable There are only two areas of erosion and bed degradation on UT 2 The first is at the UT Bear Creek KC/ Associates of North Carolina EEP Project #92719 1 2012 - W04 cross vane at Station 40 +00 and the second area is along the channel at Station 43 +00 where there is a small head cut Summary information/data related to the occurrence of items such as beaver or encroachment and statistics related to performance of various project and monitoring elements can be found in the tables and figures in the report appendices Narrative background and supporting information formerly found in these reports can be found in the Baseline Monitoring Report (formerly Mitigation Plan) and in the Mitigation Plan (formerly the Restoration Plan) documents available on the ESP's website All raw data supporting the tables and figures in the appendices are available from EEP upon request 2.0 METHODOLOGY The Level 2 CVS -EEP protocol (http //cvs bio.unc.edu/methods htm) was used to collect vegetation data from UT Bear Creek 3.0 REFERENCES Lee, M T, R K Peet, S D Roberts, and T R Wentworth 2006 CVS -EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation, Version 4 0 (http / /cvs bio uric edu/methods htm) Weakley, A S 2006 Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, Georgia, and Surrounding Areas (http / /www.herbarium unc edu/FloraArchives /WeakleyFlora 2006- Jan.pdf) UT Bear Creek EEP Project #92719 KCI Associates of North Carolina 2012 - MY04 Appendix A Project Vicinity Map and Background Tables UT Bear Creek KCI Associates of North Carolina EEP Project #92719 3 2012 - A004 DIRECTIONS TO UT BEAR CREEK SITE: From Raleigh, take US 440 West towards US 1 South.
