Gimbert Project Manager kgimbert@wildlandseng.com Wildlands Engineering,Inc. • phone 704-332-7754 • fax 704-332-3306 • 1430 S.Mint Street,#104 • Charlotte,NC 28203 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Wildlands Engineering, Inc. (Wildlands) completed a design-bid-build project at the Crooked Creek#2 Mitigation Site (Site) for the North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) to restore and enhance 5,599 linear feet(LF) of perennial streams, enhance 1.0 acre of existing wetlands, restore and create 10.5 acres of wetlands, and restore and enhance 70,936 square feet (SF) of riparian buffer in Union County, NC.The Site is expected to generate 3,242.600 stream mitigation units (SMUs), 8.4 wetland mitigation units (WMUs), and 1.24 buffer mitigation units (BMU)for the Goose Creek watershed (Table 1).The Site is located off NC Highway 218 in the northern portion of Union County, NC in the Yadkin Pee-Dee River Basin; eight-digit Cataloging Unit (CU) 03040105 and the 14-digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03040105040010 (Figure 1).The project streams consist of two unnamed tributaries (UT)to Crooked Creek, UT1 and UT2, and two reaches of the Crooked Creek mainstem (Reach A and Reach B) (Figure 2). Crooked Creek flows into the Rocky River 4 miles northeast of the Site near Love Mill Road at the Stanly County line.The adjacent land to the streams and wetlands is primarily maintained for agricultural and residential uses. The Site is within a Targeted Local Watershed (TLW) in the Lower Yadkin Pee-Dee River Basin Restoration Priority Plan (RBRP) (NCEEP, 2009).The Site is also located within the Goose Creek and Crooked Creek Local Watershed Plan (LWP).The final watershed management plan (WMP)for Goose Creek and Crooked Creek was completed in July 2012 (NCEEP, 2012).The stressors to watershed function identified in the WMP were sediment pollution and increases in peak stream flows resulting in impairments to aquatic habitat and aquatic life. Stream enhancement and restoration were identified as the best management opportunities to offset these impacts. Other stressors identified included nonpoint source runoff, degraded terrestrial habitat, and disconnected floodplains. Wetland enhancement and restoration was also identified as a best management opportunity to offset impacts related to these stressors.The wetland portion of the project was identified as a specific priority in the Project Atlas that accompanies the 2012 WMP. The project goals established in the mitigation plan (Wildlands, 2013)were completed with careful consideration of goals and objectives that were described in the RBRP and to address stressors identified in the LWP.The following project goals established include: • Improve wetland hydrologic connectivity; • Decrease sediment input into stream; • Create appropriate terrestrial habitat; • Decrease water temperature and increase dissolved oxygen concentrations; and • Decrease nutrient and adverse chemical levels. Overall,the Site in Monitoring Year(MY) five appears to be on track to meet the year seven requirements. MY5 assessments were completed between March and November 2020.The planted vegetation on the Site appears to be doing well with isolated patches of invasive species present.The average planted stem density for the Site is 526 stems per acre and is on track to meet the interim year seven requirement of 210 stems per acres. All 12 vegetation plots exceeded the year five success criteria.The average stem height for the Site is 7.6 feet trending toward meeting the year seven 10-foot requirement. Invasives treatments occurred in October 2020 and will be re-evaluated in Spring 2020 for effectiveness. report. Channel dimension and profiles on UT1 appear stable and functioning as designed. Groundwater hydrologic success criteria was achieved in six of the eleven groundwater monitoring gages.Although the success criteria for bankfull for the project was met in MY2, additional bankfull events were recorded in MY5 on project streams.Annual monitoring will continue to be conducted through MY7 with an expected closeout in 2023. .

The Site is located off NC Highway 218 in the northern portion of Union County, NC (Figure 1). Located in the Carolina Slate Belt of the Piedmont Physiographic Province (USGS, 1998), the project watershed includes primarily agricultural forested and developed land. The drainage area for the project Site is 24,619 acres.The project streams consist of two streams that underwent Stream Enhancement, Crooked Creek and UT2, as well as UT1 which underwent Stream Restoration consists The Site is located within a Targeted Local Watershed (TLW) in the Lower Yadkin Pee-Dee River Basin Restoration Priority Plan (RBRP) (NCEEP, 2009).The Site is also located within the Goose Creek and Crooked Creek Local Watershed Plan (LWP).The final watershed management plan (WMP)for Goose Creek and Crooked Creek was completed in July 2012 (NCEEP, 2012).The stressors to watershed function identified in the WMP were sediment pollution and increased peak stream flows resulting in impairments to aquatic habitat and aquatic life. Stream enhancement and restoration were identified as the best management opportunities to offset these impacts. Other stressors identified included nonpoint source runoff, degraded terrestrial habitat, and disconnected floodplains. Wetland enhancement and restoration was also identified as a best management opportunity to offset impacts related to these stressors.The wetland portion of the project was identified as a specific priority in the Project Atlas that accompanies the 2012 WMP. Prior to construction activities, the streams on the Site had been channelized and the adjacent floodplain wetland areas had been cleared and ditched to provide drainage for surrounding pasture. These land use activities resulted in bank instability due to erosion and livestock access, lack of riparian buffer, and altered hydrology. Stream Incision, lateral erosion, and widening also resulted in degraded aquatic and benthic habitat, reduction in quality and acreage of riparian wetlands, and lowered dissolved oxygen levels in the stream.Table 4 in Appendix 1 and Table 11 in Appendix 4 present the post-restoration conditions in more detail. 1.1 Project Goals and Objectives This mitigation Site is intended to provide numerous ecological benefits within the Yadkin Pee-Dee River Basin. While many of these benefits are limited to the Crooked Creek project area, others, such as pollutant removal, reduced sediment loading, and improved aquatic and terrestrial habitat, have farther-reaching effects. Expected improvements to water quality and ecological processes are outlined below as project goals and objectives. The project goals established in the mitigation plan (Wildlands, 2013)were completed with careful consideration of goals and objectives that were described in the RBRP and to address stressors identified in the LWP.The following project goals established include: • Improve wetland hydrologic connectivity; • Decrease sediment input into stream; • Create appropriate terrestrial habitat; • Decrease water temperature and increase dissolved oxygen concentrations; and • Decrease nutrient and adverse chemical levels. Crooked Creek#2 Restoration Project(94687) Monitoring Year 5 Annual Report—Final 1-1 The project objectives have been defined as follows: • Construct stream channels that will remain relatively stable over time and adequately transport their sediment loads without significant erosion or aggradation; • Construct stream channels that maintain riffles with coarse bed material and pools with finer bed material; • Provide aquatic and benthic habitat diversity in the form of pools, riffles, woody debris, and in- stream structures; • Add riffle features and structures and riparian vegetation to decrease water temperatures and increased dissolved oxygen to improve water quality; • Construct stream reaches so that floodplains and wetlands are frequently flooded to provide energy dissipation, detain and treat flood flows, and create a more natural hydrologic regime; • Construct fencing to keep livestock out of the streams; • Raise local groundwater table through raising stream beds and plugging agricultural drainage features; • Perform minor grading in wetland areas as necessary to promote wetland hydrology; and Plant native tree species to establish appropriate wetland and floodplain communities and retain existing, native trees where possible. 1.2 Monitoring Year 5 Data Assessment The following sections present the MY5 data collected between March and November 2020 to assess the condition of the project.The success criteria for the Site follows the approved success criteria presented in the Crooked Creek#2 Project Mitigation Plan (Wildlands, 2013). 1.2.1 Vegetation Assessment A total of 12 standard 10-meter by 10-meter permanent vegetation plots were established during the baseline monitoring within the project easement area.The final vegetative success criteria will be the survival of 210 planted stems per acre in the riparian corridor along restored and enhanced reaches at the end of the seven-year monitoring period (MY7).The interim measure of vegetative success for the Site will be the survival of at least 260 stems per acre at the end of the fifth-year of monitoring (MY5). In addition, planted vegetation must average 10 feet in height in each plot at the end of MY7. The MY5 vegetation survey was completed in September 2020 resulting in an average stem density of 526 stems/acre.All 12 vegetation plots individually met the year five interim requirement of 260 stems/acre, with an average of 13 stems per plot.The MY5 average stem height for the Site is 7.6 feet, increasing from 7.38 feet in MY4. Overall,the planted stem height appears to be trending toward meeting the 10-foot requirement and all plots are on track to meet the MY7 stem density requirement. In several vegetation plots, the canopy cover has continued to mature, providing an increase in shading. As a result, a reduction in the dense herbaceous cover was observed in MY5 that was present in previous monitoring years. Where invasive species and vine strangulation of planted stems were noted present in previous monitoring years, NCDMS contracted to have the Site treated in October 2020.The Supplemental planting that occurred in January, 2018 increased the stem density present on the Site and stems that have been planted for two growing seasons have recorded healthy vigor. Please refer to Appendix 2 for vegetation plot photographs and the vegetation condition assessment table and Appendix 3 for vegetation data tables. 1.2.2 Vegetation Areas of Concern Generally, the vegetation within the Site is healthy with a few areas of invasive plant species present (approximately 3%of the easement area). Invasive species noted within the site during the MY5 site Crooked Creek#2 Restoration Project(94687) Monitoring Year 5 Annual Report—Final 1-2 assessments include cattail (Typha latifolia),Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense),Johnson grass (Sorghum halepense), balloon vine (Cardiospermum halicacabum), and morning glory(Ipomoea purpurea).The native invasive species, cattail (Typha latifolia) continues to colonize an area surrounding Vegetation Plot five, however,vegetation plot five, which is located adjacent to this area is meeting success criteria and does not seem to be adversely impacted by the presence of cattail. The percent of easement area covered in invasive species remains at 3%of the easement area in MY5. Invasive species, as noted in Appendix 6, were treated in October 2020 and will continue to be treated as needed through 2022. Previous invasive treatments in 2018, resulted in a reduction of Chinese privet along Crooked Creek, with very few resprouts observed during the MY5 site walk. In addition, two areas of easement encroachment identified during MY5. In both areas,these are areas of backyard mowing behind the easement line and are actively being addressed with the respective landowners. These areas will be re-evaluated in the spring of 2021 for resprouts during MY6. Refer to Appendix 2 for the vegetation condition assessment table and CCPV maps for MY5 vegetation areas of concern and conservation easement mowing locations. 1.2.3 Stream Assessment The MY5 morphological survey conducted in March 2020 indicated that UT1 channel dimensions appear stable and functioning as designed. In general, the cross-sections show little to no change in the bankfull area, maximum depth ratio, or width-to-depth ratio compared to the baseline survey. Surveyed riffle cross-sections continue to fall within the parameters defined for channels of the appropriate Rosgen stream type (Rosgen, 1996). In MY2, the low bank height ratio for cross-section 2 decreased from 1.0 to 0.9. However, based on the MY5 survey,this ratio has not changed since which indicates the channel is stable and not actively aggrading. Refer to Appendix 2 for the visual stability assessment table, CCPV map, and stream photographs. Refer to Appendix 4 for the morphological summary data and plots. 1.2.4 Stream Areas of Concern One beaver dam was observed on cross-section 3 during the Fall 2020 assessments. Water is ponding behind the dam, but is contained within the channel. The channel upstream and downstream appear to be maintaining dimension. Refer to Appendix 2 for the visual assessment photographs and stream photographs. 1.2.5 Hydrology Assessment The stream hydrology success criteria requires that two bankfull events must occur in separate years within the seven-year monitoring period. Although, the stream hydrology success criteria was met in MY2, bankfull events continue to be recorded on Crooked Creek, UT1, and UT2, using either stream gages or visual indicators, such as wrack lines. Precipitation in 2020 exceeded the 70%average rainfall for the months of April, May, and August, leading to a large number of out of bank events on UT1. In addition to bankfull assessments, stream baseflow, although not part of the success criteria for the Site, is being monitored on UT1 to demonstrate stream flow regimes are sufficient to establish an Ordinary High Water Mark, specifically a minimum of 30 consecutive days of flow during periods of normal rainfall. Within the data collected during MY5, UT1 recorded 94 days of consecutive baseflow. Refer to Appendix 5 for hydrologic plots and photographs of documented bankfull events. WCrooked Creek#2 Restoration Project(94687) Monitoring Year 5 Annual Report—Final 1-3 1.2.6 Wetland Assessment At total of 11 groundwater gages (GWG) have been installed throughout the wetland areas to provide groundwater level data and one soil temperature probe was installed near GWG2.Ten of the GWG (1- 10)were installed during baseline monitoring. An additional GWG (11) was installed in March 2020 to provide information about the water table response to Wetland Restoration Zone A.The target success criteria for wetland hydrology success consists of groundwater surface within 12 inches of the ground surface for 17 consecutive days (7.5%) of the defined 227 day growing season for Union County(March 23 through November 4) under typical precipitation conditions. The soil temperature probe data collected over the past few years indicates that the ground temperature starts to rise in early March, and remains above the temperature threshold of 41 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the growing season.The ground temperature does not fall below the 41-degree threshold for 2020. DMS plans to further discuss with the IRT options for adjusting the growing season based on soil temperature data. The number of GWG meeting success criteria in MY5 decreased from MY4,with 9/10 GWG meeting to 6/11 GWG meeting, respectively.The GWGs that did not meet success criteria in MYS, GWG1 (15 days (6.6%)), GWG4(14 days (6.2%)), GWG9 (16 days (7.0%)), GWG10(15 days (6.6%)), and GWG11 (14 days (6.2%)), missed meeting success criteria by a small margin. GWG4 is the only gage that has not been meeting criteria consistently throughout the five-year monitoring period. There was a noticeable decline in the number of gages meeting success criteria from MY4 (9/10 gages) to MY5 (6/11 gages). Higher than average precipitation totals in the winter months of MY4, prior to the beginning of the growing season, most likely attributed to the increase in the number of gages that met criteria during the MY4 growing season. During MY4, the Site received 20% more rainfall from December to March (24.02 inches total) when compared to the same time period in MY5 (19.11 inches). However, overall,there was a 41%increase when comparing total rainfall during the growing season from MY4 (21.07 inches)to MY5 (35.42 inches). During the installation of GWG11, the hydrology,vegetation, and soil profile assessment revealed that the surrounding area had decent wetland indicators. During the well installation,there was a free water surface in the hole at thirteen inches below the ground and sweating along the sides of the hole indicating soil saturation.The surrounding vegetation included species known to grow primarily in wet areas, such as Sycamore (Plantanus occidentalis), Box elder(Acer negundo), River Birch (Betula nigra), sneezeweed (Helenium autumnale), and soft rush (Juncus effuses). Three soil boring samples were taken prior to the gage installation.The soils met the indicator of F19 Piedmont Flood Plain Soils which requires: a layer 6 inches thick within the top 10 inches of the soil surface with a matrix chroma of less than 4 and 20%or more distinct or prominent redox concentrations occurring as soft masses or pore linings. In addition,the soil profile for GWG11 contained a layer that was 15 inches thick that began 3 inches below the ground surface with a low chroma matrix color of 2.5Y 5/3, with 20% redox concentrations and 5% manganese nodules. In conclusion, although the GWG is on the cusp of meeting the success criteria, the wetland area represented by GWG4 and 11 are forming the indicators required for hydrology, soils and vegetation found in the USACE Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Regional Supplement.There is a possibility that GWG11 could meet the success criteria in MY6 when the full growing season is captured, depending on the precipitation patterns that occur in the recharge winter months. Please refer to Appendix 5 for the groundwater hydrology data and plots. WCrooked Creek#2 Restoration Project(94687) Monitoring Year 5 Annual Report—Final 1-4 1.2.7 Wetland Areas of Concern Currently,there are no areas of concern within the wetland areas. Repair work completed on the headcut near Wetland Creation Zone B, previously reported in MY3, is stable with ample vegetation growth. This area will continue to be monitored in subsequent monitoring years. Refer to Appendix 2 for wetland photographs. ,.3 Monitoring Year 4 Summary In general,the stream channels dimension and profile appear stable and functioning as designed. UT1 retains the ability to transport sediment and maintain channel form during bankfull events. The Site has withstood several bankfull events in MY5, however the stream hydrology success criteria was met in MY2.The average planted stem density of 526 stems/acre and the average planted stem height of 7.6 feet is on track to meet the Site's MY7 success criteria. Lastly,the Site has responded well to previous supplemental plantings and invasive species treatments and will continued to be monitored and treated as necessary. Six of eleven groundwater gages met success criteria in MY5, however, the area of Wetland Restoration Zone A to the left of UT1, represented by GWGS 4 and 11, may be at risk of failing to meet success criteria during the seven-year monitoring period. Summary information and data related to the 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 Mitigation Plan documents available on DMS's website. All raw data supporting the tables and figures in the appendices are available from DMS upon request. Crooked Creek#2 Restoration Project(94687) 41, Monitoring Year 5 Annual Report—Final 1-5 Section 2: METHODOLOGY Geomorphic data were collected following the standards outlined in The Stream Channel Reference Site: An Illustrated Guide to Field Techniques (Harrelson et al., 1994) and in the Stream Restoration:A Natural Channel Design Handbook (Doll et al., 2003). All Integrated Current Condition Mapping was recorded using a Trimble handheld GPS with sub-meter accuracy and processed using Pathfinder and ArcGIS. Crest gages and pressure transducers were installed in surveyed riffle cross-sections during annual Site visits. Hydrologic monitoring instrument installation and monitoring methods are in accordance with the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE, 2003) standards. Vegetation monitoring protocols followed the Carolina Vegetation Survey-EEP Level 2 Protocol (Lee et al., 2008).

Invasive Species Treatment Logs Michael Baker We Make a Difference INTERNATIONAL Progress Report for Crooked Creek II (DMS #94687) Invasive Vegetation Management 13 October 2020: Jason York and Drew Powers applied 10 gallons of 3% Rodeo (glyphosate) as a foliar spray on privet (Ligustrum spp.) along the northern bank of Crooked Creek. Approximately 60 feet from the banks were treated. Other invasive plants treated included Sacred Bamboo (Nandina domestica), Burning Bush (Euonymus alata), Japanese Honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), and Callery Pear (Pyrus calleryana). Privet and Callery Pear were also treated with 20%Garlon 4 in Bark Oil Blue as a basal bark application near the northern most easement boundary. No stems were treated that were tall enough to fall on the adjacent fence line. Attached is a map showing the approximate area that was treated.

The field meeting was held in order to discuss project history and current conditions as they relate to project performance and success, identify any apparent concerns heading into the remainder of the monitoring phase, and evaluate the MY04 (2019) credit release as proposed in the ledger presented to the IRT on April 20, 2020. Site conditions were rainy and cool (60 degrees). Previous monitoring events of note: April 2017 - IRT Credit Release Site Visit (MY2) January 2018 - Supplemental planting (prior to MY3 growing season) February 2018 - Wetland creation zone head cut repair (handwork, straw wattles, juncus plugs and live stakes) October 2018 - Invasive vegetation treatment (last of a multi-treatment contract) March 2020 - GWG 11 installation along right floodplain of UT1 Field review and items discussed • The group met at the project entrance along NC Hwy 218, and briefly discussed the project status and recent history. The MY4 (2019) credit release ledger was discussed and DMS noted that they are requesting to "catch up" with the approved mitigation plan release schedule following credit holdbacks in recent years, based on general trending towards success with stream flow in UT1 and wetland gauge results. DMS noted that, if the current proposed release were approved, the remaining unreleased credits for the D_EQNORTH CAROLINA Department o16Mmnmental Quality North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Division of Mitigation Services 217 W.Jones Street 11652 Mail Service Center I Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1652 919.707.8976 project would be 15% of the stream and 30% of the wetland total available credits. Relevant project monitoring events were discussed (see above), and DWR noted their support for the addition of GWG 11, which was recently added to provide additional data for the wetland restoration zone along the right floodplain of UT1. • The group walked to the upstream section of UT1, and observed flow in the stream channel, and a well-vegetated buffer;the group walked downstream along UT1 and noted a lack of base flow along much of UT1, but a well-defined channel with a coarse substrate mixture. Some evidence of overbank flow (wrack and debris) were present. Recent continuous flow data were discussed from 2018 (103 days of consecutive flow), 2019 (116 days) and 2020 (83 days, as of March 25, 2020). • Alongside the right floodplain of UT1, the recently installed ground water gauge (GWG #11) was found and soils examined; while there were clearly some hydric characteristics within the soil profiles (0"to 12")taken by DWR and DMS near GWG 11, soils were noted as probably not fully developed wetland soils yet. At GWG 4 farther downstream along UT1 (also on the right floodplain), the soils looked similar to those observed at GWG 11. • The group continued downstream along UT1 to the confluence of Crooked Creek. While much of UT1 lacked base flow during this visit, flow had been observed on prior visits in March 2020 by DMS and the monitoring firm Wildlands (separately), and channel features were generally evident. There were no sections of channel 'choked' with sediments or wetland herbaceous vegetation (e.g., Juncus spp.). All log structures and constructed riffles observed appeared intact and functioning. • DMS noted that there are Goose Creek watershed enhancement and restoration buffer assets associated with the project (70,936 sq. ft.). DWR noted that buffer credit close out typically occurs following MY5 and would likely be evaluated for buffer credit closure sometime in 2021 by the DWR buffer coordinator (Katie Merritt). DMS noted that there is one vegetation plot in each mitigation area type (restoration and enhancement). All 12 vegetation plots across the site are on track to meet success criteria. • The group walked downstream along Crooked Creek (enhancement II). Areas of prior invasive floodplain vegetation treatment were noted. In general, there were no major issues noted and the Crooked Creek floodplain appeared to be almost entirely clear of invasive vegetation. There was also no evidence of livestock. Just downstream of the confluence of UT1 with Crooked Creek, the large debris jam (with downed trees accumulating in one meander bend) was found and discussed, and while the historic channel diversion had formed a large oxbow, it appeared that some of the downed trees which had been spanning the channel on prior visits had been cleared out by more recent storm events. There were still multiple downed trees and large woody debris accumulated along both sides of the channel at this location.

DMS has been aware of the deer stand as it has existed since project inception. It is unknown whether the deer stand is currently being used, or who may be using it, since this project is within State-owned property. DMS will try to obtain more information on how this deer stand might or might not be in use. • UT2 (enhancement II) was observed flowing into Crooked Creek. The group walked the length of UT2 up to the fence line and edge of the project area, and adjacent cattle pasture, where it flows through a concrete pipe into the project area. Flow was evident along the entire length of UT2. The group then continued to walk towards the downstream limits of the project along Crooked Creek. • An area of historic encroachment was inspected, where ATVs had been getting into and disturbing the left floodplain of Crooked Creek towards the downstream end of the project. The landowner has been contacted several times about this, additional posting was installed in 2018, and the activity seems to have ceased, as tall herbaceous vegetation was seen growing in the entry path from the adjacent mowed/maintained backyard. However, there appeared to be a swath of maintained/mowed lawn 10-15 feet into the project area along most of the expansive backyard. DMS will contact this landowner again and attempt to have this activity stopped. While this section is more than 50 feet away from the creek, it appears to be an encroachment that need not and should not be happening. • The group walked back along the pasture fence line towards the project area wetlands. To this point,very few invasives had been noted; only very scattered individuals. However, the monitoring firm's 2020 spring assessment had mapped several areas of invasives. Using this map as a guide, the group headed for veg plot 10 to evaluate the area for invasives, as the monitoring map was showing the plot surrounded by Chinese lantern and morning glory. In general, while the group could not validate the mapped results here, there seem to be some scattered areas across the site that, when added up, may warrant another treatment. DMS plans to conduct a further detailed site invasives evaluation within the next few weeks and engage a contractor to treat the remaining invasives. The trees in veg plot 10 appeared to be healthy and thriving. • The group then walked back towards Crooked Creek to observe the wetland head cut that was reported in MY2 (2017), and addressed in early 2018 with some hand work stabilization, wattle installation, and live staking. While the condition here has improved dramatically since treatment, the head cut persists. It is unclear if the head cut is active, and if so, what is the rate of retreat.A small amount of flow was observed flowing through the head cut and continuing downgradient. DMS plans to keep a close eye on this and evaluate options if necessary. • Walking back towards the parking area through the center of the wetlands, many of the supplemental plantings from 2018 were evident as healthy trees, albeit shorter than most D_E Q) NORTH CAROLINA Department o16Mmnmental Quality North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Division of Mitigation Services 217 W.Jones Street 11652 Mail Service Center I Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1652 919.707.8976 of the originally planted trees. DWR noted that some of the trees in this area appeared to be a few years 'behind' the others. DMS noted this was one of the areas that was indeed supplemental planted in 2018, prior to the MY3 growing season. • The meeting concluded with discussion of site conditions and credit releases moving forward. It was noted that the project is on a 5-year stream / 7-year wetland release schedule. While the site is trending towards success, there were concerns in earlier monitoring years about stream flow and wetland gauge attainment. While DWR indicated their inclination to recommend release of crediting as proposed in the MY4 (2019) ledger, they expressed concern about the remaining 15% of stream credits and indicated it was very likely to be held back in 2021 in favor of gathering more stream data and monitoring the site as a whole (both stream and wetlands) through seven years. DWR recommended that DMS continue to monitor both stream and wetlands through MY7 (2022), with the remaining stream credit likely to be held back until project close out, and wetland credits being released on the current schedule as deemed appropriate. DMS will plan to move forward with this monitoring approach unless otherwise instructed by the IRT.

I just have a few additional comments: • I agree with your UT1 comments, but we did also observe scattered wetland herbaceous veg within the channel and fibrous roots across some of the riffles, as well as some signs of rot on the log sills (although no instability). • Regarding the headcut, I agree that it should be monitored for mitigation upslope and would recommend that additional vegetated stabilization measures be considered. • I also noted the veg die-off we saw from the herbicide treatment along the cattle fence approximately 3-5 feet into the easement. I understand that the landowner needs to maintain the fence line, but would ask that more care be given to target the treatment on the fence itself and limit drift into the easement. Many thanks. Have a nice weekend!
