Dear Mr. Griffin:
This correspondence is in reference to your letter dated May 5, 2008, regarding the UT to Bull Run
Mitigation Site located in Lee County. This site is being utilized by the North Carolina Department of
Transportation as compensatory mitigation for the road construction of R- 2417BA, the US 4211NC 87
Sanford Bypass.
DWQ staff conducted a site visit on May 27, 2008, to verify compliance with the mitigation
requirements identified in the permit. During the site visit, staff noted that the site was well vegetated
with native species and that the proper hydrology was present.
By copy of this letter, we are notifying you that no further monitoring of the site will be required since
the construction and success criteria for the mitigation site have been met.
If you have any additional questions or require additional information please contact Polly Lespinasse
at (704) 663 -1699.

Re: UT to Bull Run (Site #14 & #22) Stream Relocation Sites, Lee County, State Project No,

Mr. Spencer:
As you are aware, the Department has monitored the UT to Bull Run Stream Relocation Sites
since their construction in May of 2003 (Site #14) and April of 2004 (Site #22). Located in Lee
County, adjacent to the US 421/NC 87 Sanford bypass, these sites provide 154 linear feet of
stream relocation for impacts associated with the R-2417BA project. The stream relocations
were constructed and revegetated with bottomland hardwood species. Per permit requirements,
NCDOT was required to quarterly monitor the relocated sites for channel stability by visual
observation for two years or until success criteria were met. During the monitoring period,
quarterly monitoring reports were submitted to the appropriate regulatory agencies via the PDEA
Natural Environment Unit's (NEU) wcbsite:

After two years of quarterly vegetation and stream stability monitoring, the UT to Bull Run
Stream Relocation Sites indicate that the planted vegetation is surviving and the streambanks
remain stable at this time. Individual quarterly monitoring data is available on NEU's website
for 2006-2008.

Project Status: Complete
Monitoring Level required by COE and DWQ (404 permit/ 401 Cert.): Level 2 4
Monitoring Level 1 requires completion of Section 1, Section 2 and Section 3
Permit States: The permittee will visually monitor the vegetative plantings on all
mitigation streambanks to access and insure complete stabilization of the mitigation
stream segments. This monitoring will include adequate visual monitoring of planted
vegetation quarterly for a minimum of two years after final planting, and appropriate
remedial actions (e.g., replanting, streambank grading, ect.). If within any monitoring
year, bank stabilization is not acceptable as determined by the Corps of Engineers, and
remedial action required by the Corps of Engineers is performed, the two year monitoring
of the affected portions of the stream will begin again.
Section 1, PHOTO REFERENCE SITES
Total number of reference photo locations at this site: Site 14: 1 photo point, 2
photos at this photo point location. Site 22: 2 photo points, 2 photos at each photo
point location.
Dates reference photos have been taken at this site: 5 /1/06, 8/24/06, 11/28/06,
2/7/07 5/21/07 8/7/07 11/2/07 2/1/08
Individual from whom additional photos can be obtained (name, address, phone) :_
Other Information relative to site photo reference:
If required to complete Level 3 monitoring only stop here; otherwise,

Section 2. PLANT SURVIVAL
Attach plan sheet indicating reference photos.
Identify specific problem areas (missing, stressed, damaged or dead plantings):
Estimated causes, and proposed /required remedial action:
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Ve etation is dormant at this time. Seedlinjzs noted on the
streambank and in the flood lain consisted of black willow, silky do wood willow oak water oak tulip
poplar, alder, white oak, river birch, green ash, and red maple. Other vegetation noted consisted of Juncus _
sp., cattail, lespedeza, fennel, sedize pokeweed, jewelweed, goldenrod, woolgrass, briars, and various
grasses. NCDOT proposes to discontinue plant survival monitoring.
If required to complete Level 1 and Level 2 monitoring only stop here; otherwise, complete
section 3.

Section 3. CHANNEL STABILITY
Visual Inspection: The entire stream project as well as each in- stream structure and
bank stabilization/revetment structure must be evaluated and problems addressed.
Report on the visual inspection of channel stability. Physical measurements of channel
stability /morphology will not be required. Include a discussion of any deviations from
as -built and an evaluation of the significance of these deviations and whether they are
indicative of a stabilizing or destabilizing situation.
Site 14 stream relocation at Sta. 133 +90 LT. has a sliaht headcut where the relocated stream ties back to the
existiniz stream. The stream relocation is stabilized.
Site 22 stream relocation at Sta. 146 +00 RT. has two cross vanes that were constructed without filter fabric
per the plans. Water is currently flowing through the structures. There has been some localized erosion
but the site has stabilized, with vegetation. NCDQT proposes to discontinue channel stability monitoring
at Sites 14 and 22.
