Dear Ms. Crocker:
Water & Land Solutions, LLC (WLS) is pleased to present the Final Baseline Monitoring Report (including
record drawings) for the Buffalo Creek Tributaries Mitigation Project to the North Carolina Department
of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Division of Mitigation Services (DMS). Per the DMS review comments,
WLS has updated the Final As -Built Baseline Monitoring Report and associated deliverables accordingly.
We are providing the electronic deliverables via cloud link. The electronic deliverables are organized
under the following folder structure as required under the digital submission requirements:

We are providing our written responses to DMS' review comments on the Draft As -Built Baseline Report
below. Each of the DMS review comments is copied below in bold text, followed by the appropriate
response from WLS in regular text:
General:
• Page 1, indicates 5,029 linear feet of construction. Clarify that this is the design, not as -built
footage. Response: The total design length of stream from the mitigation plan is 5,029 linear feet.
The report and corresponding tables have been updated.
• Deliverable Table is showing construction completed 4/22 and planting completed before
that as 3/3. Review and correct or explain (add asterisk). These dates should be completion
dates. Response: Construction was completed on 4/22 and planting was completed on 4/26. The
date 3/3 was the initial planting date for the southern half of the project. The completion date of
planting was revised in the corresponding table and report.
• Table 1. Update typo error for R3 (upper) credit to show 56.500 (instead of 565.000).
Response: The error was updated to reflect the correct number of credits.
It was discussed in the field that there are some easement corners and posts that abut new
subdivision yards and may be at risk for mowing encroachment. It is advisable that WLS
works with those landowners to install some larger tress along those lines and consider
alternative, more aesthetically pleasing markers at this early point in the project. Response:
Coordination and communication with landowners where easement abuts yards will be completed
to prevent encroachment. These areas will be addressed prior to the submittal of the MY1 report,
and any actions taken will be documented in MY1.
• Work with DEQ Stewardship to ensure that the use of subdivision corners for parcels
abutting easement corners in lieu of easement caps shown on the plat. Response: DEQ
Stewardship approved use of subdivision corners for parcels abutting easement corners in lieu of
caps.
• It was observed in the field that there are some areas of overland flow into the easement
from the High School BMP Pond around R3 (lower). In the future, WLS will need to monitor
this area to ensure that this does not de -stabilize the area and/or provide destabilizing
sediment input to the system. Response: The overland flow area around R3 (lower) will be
monitored closely and any remedial action will be documented in future reports.
The stream geomorphology tables show that the bankfull discharge from pre to design to
post remained constant. Explain how this occurred or correct calculations. Response: The
discharge numbers in the table are correct for pre, design, and MYO for all reaches. The bankfull
discharge estimate is held constant throughout and what varies is the cross -sectional area and
velocity. As cross -sectional area increases, the velocity decreases and vice versus. The bankfull
discharge is chosen and held at a constant and the designed cross -sectional area is based on that
number. For'C' stream types, the design channels acceptable velocity ranges are between 3-5 ft/s
and for'B' stream types it is between 4-6 ft/s.
• The Mitigation Plan indicates that microbenthic invertebrate monitoring will occur to show
pre -and post -response. Please provide this data and show monitoring on location on the
CCPV in the baseline report. Response: Data from the invertebrate monitoring occurred pre -
construction and is now included in App F. Data is not tied to a performance standard and repeat
sampling will occur in MY3. The location of sampling is shown on the CCPV.
• Describe if there was any temporary or permanent cover planted in the vegetation section of
the baseline report. Response: Temporary and permanent seeding occurred during construction
and followed the mitigation plan. The report has been updated to include the temporary/permanent
seeding.
• Provide elevation of wetland gauges in a table format or on drawings if possible/available.
Response: The elevation of wetland gauges was not surveyed during as -built.
• Include any pictures and/or drone videos to assist IRT in visualizing. Response: Photos and
drone footage is included in the Photos folder of the E-Data.
Electronic Comments
• Segment the stream features so that zero credit segments are not included as part of
creditable segments (e.g. MS-111, MS-112). Please ensure that each record in the attribute table
corresponds with a record in the asset table, and verify that feature lengths match the
reported as -built lengths in the asset table. Response: Zero credit segments have been removed
from creditable segments. Records in the attribute table correspond to the asset table.
The ASB_WETLANDS shapefile only includes the Re -Establishment wetlands. Please include
the Enhancement wetlands and ensure their areas match the as -built acreage reported in the
asset table. Response: The enhancement wetlands have been included in the e-data.
• Please include spatial features characterizing the Pre -Existing Channel displayed in Figs.1B
& C. Response: These were included with the initial submittal as the Pre -Existing Channel.shp.
Please contact me if you have any questions or comments.

1 Project Summary
1.1 Project Location and Description
The Buffalo Creek Tributaries Mitigation Project ("Project") is a North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality (NCDEQ), Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) full -delivery stream and wetland
mitigation project contracted with Water & Land Solutions, LLC (WLS) in response to RFP 16-007279. The
Project will provide stream and wetland mitigation credits in the Neuse River Basin (Cataloging Unit
03020201). The project site is in Johnston County, North Carolina, between the Town of Wendell and the
Community of Archer Lodge. The Project is in the Lower Buffalo Creek Priority Sub -watershed
030202011504, study area for the Neuse 01 Regional Watershed Plan Phase II, Final Report (RWP), and in
the Targeted Local Watershed 03020201180050, of the Neuse River Basin.
The Project involved the restoration, enhancement, and preservation of eight stream reaches (MS -RI,
MS-R2, R3 (upper), R3 (lower), R4, R5 (upper), R5 (lower), and R6) with designed totals of approximately
5,029 linear feet of streams. The Project also includes riparian wetland restoration (re-establishment) and
enhancement of approximately 3.495 acres. The Project provides significant ecological improvements and
functional uplift through stream and wetland restoration and will decrease nutrient, and sediment loads
within the watershed. See Section 2 for a detailed benefits summary and Table 1 for a summary of project
assets. Figure 1 illustrates the project mitigation components.
Prior to construction, many of the existing streams were incised and degraded due to excess bank erosion
and increased stormwater flows. Wetland hydrology was drained across the floodplain and areas mapped
with hydric soils. The existing vegetation within the riparian corridor consists of mixed hardwood forest
with some disturbed pine forest. Adjacent land use consists of agriculture, silviculture and residential
development.
1.2 Project Quantities and Credits
The Project mitigation components include a combination of Stream Restoration, Enhancement and
Preservation activities, as well as Riparian Wetland Re-establishment and Enhancement, as summarized
in the tables belo

2 Goals, Performance Criteria, and Functional Improvements
2.1 Project Goals and Objectives
The Project will meet the goals and objectives described in the Buffalo Creek Tributaries Final Approved
Mitigation Plan and will address general restoration goals and opportunities outlined in the DMS Neuse
River Basin Watershed Restoration Priorities (RBRP). More specifically, three out of the four functional
goals and objectives outlined in the Wake -Johnston Collaborative Local Watershed Plan (LWP) as well as
the Neuse 01 RWP will be met by:
• Reducing sediment and nutrient inputs to the Buffalo Creek Watershed.
• Restoring, preserving, and protecting wetlands, streams, riparian buffers and aquatic habitat.
Implementing stream restoration in rural catchments together as "project clusters".
To accomplish these project -specific goals, the following objectives will be measured to document overall
project success:
• Restore stream and floodplain interaction and geomorphically stable conditions by reconnecting
historic flow paths and promoting more natural flood processes;
• Improve and protect water quality by reducing streambank erosion, nutrient and sediment inputs;
• Restore and protect riparian buffer functions and habitat connectivity in perpetuity by recording
a permanent conservation easement; and
• Incorporate water quality improvement features to reduce nonpoint source inputs to receiving
waters.

2.2 Project Success Criteria
The success criteria for the Project will follow the approved performance standards and monitoring
protocols from the final approved mitigation plan; which was developed in compliance with the USACE
October 2016 Guidance, USACE Stream Mitigation Guidelines (April 2003 and October 2005), and 2008
Compensatory Mitigation Final Rule. Cross-section and vegetation plot data will be collected in Years 0, 1,
2, 3, 5, and 7. Stream hydrology data and visual monitoring will be reported annually. Specific success
criteria components and evaluation methods are described below.
2.2.1 Streams
Stream Hydrology: Four separate bankfull or over bank events must be documented within the seven-year
monitoring period and the stream hydrology monitoring will continue until four bankfull events have been
documented in separate years. Stream hydrology monitoring will be accomplished with pressure
transducers installed in pools and correlating sensor depth to top of bank elevation (see appendix D for
installation diagrams). Recorded water depth above the top of bank elevation will document a bankfull
event. The devices will record water depth hourly and will be inspected quarterly.
The stage recorders include an automatic pressure transducer (HOBO Water Level (13 ft) Logger) set in
PVC piping in the channel. The elevation of the bed and top of bank at each stage recorder location will
MYO FINAL Buffalo Creek Tributaries
DMS Project # 100042
5
be recorded to be able to document presence of water in the channel and out of bank events. Visual
observations (i.e. wrack or debris lines) and traditional cork crest gauges will also be used to document
out of bank events.
Stream Profiles, Vertical Stability, and FloodplainAccess: Stream profiles, as a measure of vertical stability
and floodplain access will be evaluated by looking at Bank Height Ratios (BHR). In addition, observed
bedforms should be consistent with those observed for channels of the design stream type(s). The BHR
shall not exceed 1.2 along the restored Project stream reaches. This standard only applies to restored
reaches of the channel where BHRs were corrected through design and construction. Vertical stability will
be evaluated with visual assessment, cross -sections and, if directed by the IRT, longitudinal profile.
Stream Horizontal Stability: Cross -sections will be used to evaluate horizontal stream stability on restored
streams. There should be little change expected in as -built restoration cross -sections. If measurable
changes do occur, they should be evaluated to determine if the changes represent a movement toward a
more unstable condition (e.g., downcutting, erosion) or a movement towards increased stability (e.g.,
settling, vegetation establishment, deposition along the streambanks, decrease in width/depth ratio).
Cross -sections shall be classified using the Rosgen Stream Classification method and all monitored cross -
sections should fall within the quantitative parameters defined for channels of the design stream type.
Stream cross-section monitoring will be conducted using a Topcon RL-H5 Laser Level. Three-dimensional
coordinates associated with cross-section data will be collected in the field (NAD83 State Plane feet FIPS
3200). Morphological data will be collected at 13 cross -sections. Survey data will be imported into
Microsoft Excel® and the DMS Shiny App for data processing and analysis.
Reference photo transects will be taken at each permanent cross-section. Lateral photos should not
indicate excessive erosion or continuing degradation of the streambanks. Photographs will betaken of both
streambanks at each cross-section. A survey tape stretched between the permanent cross-section
monuments/pins will be centered in each of the streambank photographs. The water elevation will be
shown in the lower edge of the frame, and as much of the streambank as possible will be included in each
photo. Photographers will attempt to consistently maintain the same area in each photo over time.
Streambed Material Condition and Stability: Streambed material should not significantly change over
time and any significant changes (e.g., aggradation, degradation, embeddedness) will be noted after
streambank vegetation becomes established and a minimum of two bankfull flows or greater have been
documented. If significant changes are observed within stable riffles and pools, additional sediment
transport analyses may be required.
Jurisdictional Stream Flow: Monitoring of stream flow will be conducted to demonstrate that the restored
stream systems classified as intermittent exhibit surface flow for a minimum of 30 consecutive days
throughout some portion of the year during a year with normal rainfall conditions. Stream flow monitoring
will be accomplished with pressure transducers installed in pools and correlating sensor depth to the
downstream top of riffle elevation (see appendix D for installation diagrams). If the pool water depth is at
or above the top of riffle elevation, then the channel will be assumed to have surface flow. The devices will
record water elevation twice per day and will be inspected quarterly to document surface hydrology and
provide a basis for evaluating flow response to rainfall events.

2.2.2 Wetlands
Wetland Hydrology: The performance standard for wetland hydrology will be 12% percent based on the
suggested wetland saturation thresholds for soils taxonomic subgroups. The proposed success criteria for
wetland hydrology will be when the soils are saturated within 12 inches of the soil surface for 12% (27
days) of the 227-day growing season (March 21st through November 3rd) based on WETS data table for
Johnston County, NC. The saturated conditions should occur during a period when antecedent
precipitation has been normal or drier than normal for a minimum frequency of 5 years in 10 (USACE,
2005 and 2010b). Precipitation data will be obtained from an on -site rain gauge and the Clayton (CLAY)
Research Weather Station, approximately 9 miles southeast of the Project site. If a normal year of
precipitation does not occur during the first seven years of monitoring, WLS will continue to monitor the
Project hydrology until the Project site has been saturated for the appropriate hydroperiod. If rainfall
amounts for any given year during the monitoring period are abnormally low, reference wetland
hydrology data will be compared to determine if there is a correlation with the weather conditions and
site variability.
Wetland hydrologywill be monitored to document success in wetland restoration and enhancement areas
where hydrology was affected. This will be accomplished with automatic pressure transducer gauges
(located in groundwater wells) that record daily (twice per day) groundwater levels. The pressure
transducer gauges are HOBO Water Level (13ft) Loggers made by Onset. Seven gauges will be installed
within the wetland crediting areas. One automatic pressure transducer will be installed above ground for
use as a barometric reference. One rain gauge will be installed at the adjacent Odell's House Mitigation
Project site (0.3 miles southeast of the project) to document rainfall at the project. Gauges are
downloaded quarterly and wetland hydroperiods are calculated during the growing season. Gauge
installation will follow current regulatory guidance. Visual observations of primary and secondary wetland
hydrology indicators will also be recorded during quarterly site visits.
2.2.3 Vegetation
Vegetation monitoring will occur in the fall each required monitoring year, prior to leaf drop. Plots will be
monitored in years 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7. Vegetative success for the Project during the intermediate monitoring
years will be based the survival of at least 320, three -year -old planted trees per acre at the end of Year 3
of the monitoring period; and at least 260, five -year -old, planted trees per acre that must average seven
feet in height at the end of Year 5 of the monitoring period. The final vegetative restoration success criteria
will be achieving a density of no less than 210, seven -year -old planted stems per acre that must average
ten feet in height in Year 7 of monitoring.
Vegetation success is being monitored at a total of six permanent vegetation plots (10m x 10m or 20m x
5m) and two random vegetation transects (50m x 2m). Vegetation plot monitoring follows the CVS-EEP
Level 2 Protocol for Recording Vegetation, version 4.2 (Lee et al. 2008) and includes analysis of species
composition and density of planted species. Data will be processed using the DMS ShinyApp. For each
plot, the origin will be marked with a PVC pole and the other three corners marked with rebar. Tree species
and height will be recorded for each planted stem and photos of each plot are to be taken from the origin
each monitoring year.

2.2.4 Visual Assessment
WLS will conduct visual assessments in support of mitigation performance monitoring. Visual assessments
of all stream reaches will be conducted twice per monitoring year with at least five months in between
each site visit for each of the seven years of monitoring. Photographs will be used to visually document
system performance and any areas of concern related to streambank and bed stability, condition of in -
stream structures, channel migration, active headcuts, live stake mortality, invasive plant species or animal
browsing, easement boundary encroachments, and general streambed conditions. Permanent photo
points will be at the cross -sections and culvert crossings.
3 Project Attributes
3.1 Design Approach
3.1.1 Stream
The Project stream design approach included a combination of Stream Restoration, Enhancement Level I,
and Preservation activities. A Priority Level I restoration approach was incorporated with the design of
both a single -thread meandering channel along the main stem (MS-R1 and MS-R2) and step -pool channels
(R3, R4, R5 and R6). All non -vegetated or disturbed areas within the conservation easement were planted
with native species vegetation and any areas of invasive species were removed and/or treated.
Restoration: MS-R1, MS-RZ R3 (lower), R5 (lower)
• MS-111 — MS-R1 was restored as a Rosgen 'C4' stream type using appropriate riffle -pool
morphology with conservative meander planform geometry that accommodates the valley slope
and width. Work involved a Priority Level I restoration to raise the bed elevation and reconnect
the stream with its geomorphic floodplain to promote a more frequent over bank flooding regime.
• MS-112 — MS-R2 was restored as a Rosgen 'C4' stream type using appropriate riffle -pool
morphology with conservative meander planform geometry that accommodates the valley slope
and width. Work involved a Priority Level I restoration to raise the bed elevation and reconnect
the stream with its geomorphic floodplain to promote a more frequent over bankflooding regime.
• R3 (lower) — R3 (lower) was restored as a Rosgen '134' stream type using appropriate step -pool
morphology with a minimal meander planform geometry in the lower portion that accommodates
the valley slope and width. Work along R3 (lower) involved a Priority Level I Restoration by raising
the bed elevation and reconnecting the stream with its geomorphic floodplain. Most of the
channel was restored in its current location with minor adjustments to channel planform to tie
into MS-R1.
• R5 (lower) — R5 (lower) was restored as a Rosgen '134' stream type using appropriate step -pool
morphology with a minimal meander planform geometry. Work along R5 (lower) involved a
Priority Level I Restoration by raising the bed elevation and reconnecting the stream with its
geomorphic floodplain. The majority of the channel was restored in its current location with minor
adjustments to channel planform to tie into MS-R2.
Enhancement Level I: R41 R5 (upper), and R6
MYO FINAL Buffalo Creek Tributaries
DMS Project # 100042
8
• R4 — R4 begins below a stormwater outfall pipe within the upper catchment. WLS modified the
BMP outlet by replacing an abandoned outfall pipe with a step -pool outlet channel to reroute
base flow back into the natural stream valley. The lower portion of the reach was regraded across
the floodplain to tie into MS-R1. In -stream structures, such as log weirs and stone riffles were
used to dissipate flow energy, protect streambanks, and eliminate potential for future incision.
• R5 (upper) — R5 (upper) Enhancement Level I activities involved raising the bed elevation in the
middle portion and removing any spoil/levees, thus providing better access to the geomorphic
floodplain. In -stream structures, such as log weirs and stone riffles were used to dissipate flow
energy, protect streambanks, and eliminate potential for future incision. Eroding channel banks
were graded to stable side slopes, live staked and bare roots were also used to promote woody
vegetation growth along the stream, riparian buffer and existing wetland area 'WB'.
• R6 — Enhancement Level I activities along R6 involved stabilizing an existing pond outlet and
enhancing the stream with appropriate step -pool morphology. Work along the lower portion of
R6 involved raising the bed elevation, installing in -stream structures and removing remnant spoil
to provide better floodplain access. The majority of the channel remained in its pre -construction
location with minor adjustments to channel planform before the confluence with MS-R2.
Preservation: R3 (upper)
• R3 (upper) -The upper section of R3 is classified as a Rosgen 'C5b' stream type. Preservation was
proposed along this reach since the existing headwater stream is mostly stable with a mature
riparian buffer due to minimal historic impacts. Riparian buffers in excess of 50 feet will be
protected in perpetuity through a permanent conservation easement.
3.1.2 Wetland
Riparian Wetland Re-establishment: W1, W2, and W3
Areas of hydric soils documented on the floodplains of MS-R1 and MS-R2 were restored as a result of
implementing a Priority Level I stream restoration, limited soil manipulation and removal (less than 1-foot
depth) and planting native species vegetation. Both groundwater hydrology and overbank flood frequency
will be restored.
Riparian Wetland Enhancement: WB, WC, and WD
Existing jurisdictional wetland areas were planted with native wet tolerant species and adjacent stream
restoration will improve groundwater hydrology and overbank flood frequency.

4 Monitoring Year 0 Assessment and Results
4.1 As -built Survey
An as -built survey conducted under the responsible charge of a North Carolina Professional Land Surveyor
(Marshall Wight, PLS with WithersRavenel), was utilized to document the as -built or baseline condition of
the Project post -construction. The Project construction and planting were completed in April 2021 and
as -built survey was completed in May 2021. Planting on the lower half of the project started in March
2021. Baseline monitoring activities occurred in April and May 2021.
4.2 As -Built Plans/ Record Drawings
The results of the as -built survey establish and document post -construction or baseline conditions and
will be used for comparing annual post -construction monitoring data. The as -built plans or record
drawings were developed utilizing the final construction plans as the "background", and then overlaying
the as -built survey information on the plan and profile sheets. Any significant adjustments or deviations
made to the final construction plans during construction are shown as redline mark-ups or callouts on the
as -built survey plan sheets. The as -built plans/record drawings were submitted separately.
4.3 As -Built/ Baseline Assessment
No deviations of significance were documented between the final construction plans and the as -built
condition that may affect channel performance or changes in vegetation species planted. Along MS-R2,
the channel was realigned from approximate design station 29+50 to 32+75 to protect a large hardwood
tree (-10 DBH) and prevent root damage within the dripline. As a result of this realignment, lower R5
confluence was extended to tie into MS-R2. Similarly, lower R4 was realigned from approximate station
12+17 to 14+59 due to poor/wet soil conditions and to more closely follow the graded floodplain and
valley contours. The in -stream structure installation followed the proposed design in these locations. Log
riffles were replaced with stone riffles along R5 to minimize disturbance to exiting vegetation. Lastly, three
log riffles were removed along lower R6 and three stone riffles were installed further upstream to increase
bed stability and minimize disturbance to existing vegetation. No major issues or mitigating factors were
observed immediately after construction which require consideration or remedial action.
4.4 Morphological Assessment
Morphological data for the as -built profile was collected in April and May 2021. Refer to Appendices A
and C for summary data tables, morphological plots, and stream photographs.
4.4.1 Stream Horizontal Pattern & Longitudinal Profile
The MYO stream horizontal pattern and longitudinal profiles closely match the design parameters. The
MYO plan form geometry or pattern fell within acceptable ranges of the design parameters for all restored
reaches. These minor channel adjustments in riffle slopes, pool depths and pattern do not present a
stability concern or indicate a need for remedial action and will be assessed visually during the annual
assessments.
4.4.2 Stream Horizontal Dimension
The MYO channel dimensions generally match the design parameters and are within acceptable and stable
ranges of tolerance. It is expected over time that some pools may accumulate fine sediment and organic
matter, however, this is not an indicator of channel instability. Maximum riffle depths are also expected
MYO FINAL Buffalo Creek Tributaries
DMS Project # 100042
11
to fluctuate slightly throughout the monitoring period as the channels adjust to new flow regime and
catchment conditions.
4.5 Stream Hydrology
4.5.1 Stream Flow
Two pressure transducers (flow gauges) were installed in April 2021 on reaches R4 and R6 to document
baseflow conditions. The flow gauge locations are within the upper one-third of the project reaches as
shown on the CCPV and the data will be included in the Monitoring Year 1 Report. See Appendix D for the
pressure transducer installation diagrams.
4.5.2 Bankfull Events
One crest gauge was installed in March 2021 to document bankfull events. WLS installed a conventional
cork crest gauge, along with a pressure transducer to validate flood status MS-R2. Stream hydrology data
will be included in the Monitoring Year 1 Report in this section and in the appendices. Recorder locations
are shown on the CCPV.
4.5.3 Wetlands
Seven groundwater wells were installed in March and April 2021 to monitor wetland hydrology.
Groundwater well locations are shown on the CCPV and the data will be included subsequent monitoring
reports. Elevations of groundwater wells are in Appendix E.
4.5.4 Vegetation
Monitoring of the six permanent vegetation plots and two random transects was completed during April
2021. Vegetation data and photos can be found in Appendix B. The MYO average planted density is 673
stems per acre, which exceeds the interim measure of vegetative success of at least 320 planted stems
per acre at the end of the third monitoring year. Each vegetation plot is also meeting the interim measure
requirements and has 607 - 769 stems per acre. Volunteer species were not noted at baseline monitoring
but are expected to establish in upcoming years.
Temporary and permanent seeding was conducted during and after construction activities, following the
approved mitigation plan. Visual assessment of vegetation outside of the monitoring plots indicates that
the herbaceous vegetation is becoming well established throughout the project.
Two encroachments were noted near the southern most culvert crossing on MS-R2. Both are recently
sodded/planted grassy areas near the boundaries of recent housing development. To prevent further
encroachment, the homeowners will be contacted, and the easement line will be more clearly marked
and planted. Actions taken will be detailed in the MY1 report.
No areas of significant invasive plant species were observed post -construction. The site will be monitored
closely, and any invasive plant species will be treated as needed. Any treatments will be documented and
included in subsequent monitoring reports.
