native plants include multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonccera japonica), privet (Lcgustrum ' sp ), and kudzu (Pueraria montana var lobata) Invasive plants on site are scheduled to be treated during 2013 and 2014 Stream longitudinal profiles have remained relatively stable among monitoring years The primary stream issue observed during MY4 was bank erosion resulting from thalweg migration and low woody stem densities In particular, thalweg migration has continued at station 2 +00 ' (83 feet) and 5 +25 (38 feet) causing further bank erosion These two areas of concern have continued to actively erode between monitoring years All other morphological metrics indicated performance percentages averaging between 88 and 100% One beaver dam was noted at the lower end of the reach during separate monitoring visits EEP was informed and a beaver removal request form was submitted to the Animal and Plant Health Inspections Service's (APHIS) on both occasions APHIS removed the beaver dam and two beavers from the lower ' reach of Kings Creek on October 29, 2012 Based on the presence of wrack lines and crest gauge monitoring two bankfull events were documented In MY4 ' Summary information/data related to the occurrence of items such as beaver or easement 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 ' Kings Creek Final 1 Equinox Environmental Consultation and Design, Inc Project No 208 November 2012 Monitoring Year 4 of 5 supporting information formerly found in these reports can be found in the mitigation and restoration plan documents available on EEP's website All raw data supporting tables and figures In the appendices Is available from EEP upon request Kings Creek Final 2 Equinox Environmental Consultation and Design, Inc ' Project No 208 November 2012 Monitoring Year 4 of 5 F1 ,,I 2.0 Methodology The stream monitoring methodologies utilized in 2012 replicate those employed during previous monitoring years and are based on standard guidance and procedures documents (Rosgen 1996 and USACE 2003) Vegetation monitoring data were collected following the standard CVS -EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation, Level II (Lee et al 2008) ' Kings Creek Final Project No 208 Monitoring Year 4 of 5 3 Equinox Environmental Consultation and Design, Inc November 2012 3.0 References Lee, M T, R K Peet, S D Roberts, and T R Wentworth 2008 CVS -EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation Version 4 2 The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Department of Biology NCEEP (North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program) 2006 Mitigation Report Kings Creek Restoration Project Raleigh Rosgen, D L 1996 Applied River Morphology Wildland Hydrology Books, Pagosa Springs, Colorado USACE (U.S Army Corps of Engineers) 2003 Stream Mitigation Guidelines USACOE, USEPA, NCWRC, NCDENR -DWQ Wilmington District Kings Creek Final 4 Equinox Environmental Consultation and Design, Inc Project No 208 November 2012 Monitoring Year 4 of 5 � Appendix A ' Project Vicinity Map and Background Tables 1 1 li .� ..>~ i ^.i a-a ,i h �N.''T r vat•- r 1 ti r '� ""rr �'l 1 � 4; r � � � rte'= ; 1 i 280 + �( _- .1 276 _~ 4. 64 1 1 ,...... «....., ,.,.,,.. � t t o... .,' ( 276 � .x;, �` L •{ S r. •_. ,_ r-, i .. d� 't � t, " � it �wrrL.
