EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
SECTION 1
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Back Creek Stream and Wetland Restoration Project (Site) is a 17 5 acre lot located in
Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, northeast of the City of Charlotte (Appendix 1 1) Back
Creek drams approximately 4 square rules and is located within the Piedmont Ecoregion in the
Yadkin- Peedee River Basin (USGS HUC 03040105) The Site is a mitigation project for the
North Carolina Department of Transportation ( NCDOT) The project was transferred from
NCDOT to the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) in 2006
Construction of the restoration project was completed in December 2005, and tree planting was
completed in February 2006
This report serves as year five of the five year monitoring plan for the Site
1.1 Goals and Objectives
Historically, the Site was utilized for livestock grazing and agricultural hay production
Currently, the Site is dominated by fallow, successional fields, and a few stands of isolated
hardwood forests Sewer line construction and past land use have impaired the streams stability
due to dredging and straightening of the upstream reach Urban development in the watershed
has also contributed to the instability of the Site
The following goals were established for the Site
1 Restore approximately 3,525 linear feet (If) of Back Creek
2 Restore approximately 827 if of tributaries to Back Creek
3 Restore approximately 1 5 acres (ac) of jurisdictional wetland, enhance approximately 1 8 ac
of jurisdictional wetland, and create approximately 0 5 ac of open water /freshwater marsh
adjacent to on -site channels
4 Reforest approximately 17 5 ac of flood prone area and adjacent upland slopes with native
forest species

Executive Summary
The site also contains 3 5 ac (proposed as 1 8 ac) of wetland enhancement and 0 4 ac (proposed
as 2 0 ac) of wetland restoration Appendix 2 provides more detailed project activity, history,
contact information, and watershed/site background information for this project
1.2 Vegetative Assessment
JJG conducted the 2010 (year 5 of 5) vegetative assessment and vegetative plot analysis in
October 2010 Vegetation assessments were conducted following the NCEEP 2004 Stem
Counting Protocol which consists of counting woody stems within the established vegetation
plots The four vegetative plots previously established in the design phase were selected
randomly and represent the riparian buffer zone The planted vegetative community goal for
these plots is to establish a Piedmont floodplain forest The following success criteria for
vegetation were established for the Site by EcoScience (2003)
■ 320 stems per acre years 1 through 3
■ 290 stems per acre year 4
■ 260 stems per acre year 5
Vegetation problem areas previously noted along the streambanks that had suffered localized
loss of vegetative cover appear to re- stabilizing In these areas, it is assumed that flood events
may have caused bank erosion, therefore, removing vegetation in previous monitoring years
Most of these problem areas have either fully recovered or are continuing to improve with each
growing season
The 2010 vegetation monitoring results indicate that the Site appears to be meeting vegetation
success criteria with the exception of Plot 4 The Site's average stem density is approximately
364 planted stems per acre with a plot size of 0 057 ac, which exceeds the year 5 goal of 260
planted stems per acre Only one of the four vegetation monitoring plots (Plot 4) continues to
result in a low survival rate Initially, planted stem mortality within Plot 4 was most hkely due to
the severe drought experienced during the 2007 growing season During the recent growing
seasons, volunteer species and resprouting of suspected dead saplings have increased the stems
per acre for Plot 4 For the 2010 monitoring year, Plot 4 resulting in a stem density increase due
to volunteer species from 140 stems per acre to 404 stems per acre, which meets success criteria
for the year 5 goal
In conclusion, the Site has met the vegetation success criteria requirements for monitoring year
five (2010) Some loss of streambank vegetation was evident in 2006, however, the overall
growth of the streambank vegetation is good and continues to improve as seen over the past few
monitoring years The overall success of the woody vegetation momtored within three of the
four plots appears to be better than what was initially assessed in September 2006 This is most
likely due to the resprouting of suspected dead saplings and new volunteer species Although all
plots met the vegetation success threshold with the exception of Plot 4, the results from Plot 4
did not affect the site's average planted stem density to be considered unsuccessful Please refer
to Appendix 12 and 3 for detailed information regarding the 2010 vegetation current conditions
and monitoring data results

Executive Summary
1.3 Stream Assessment
A total of nine cross - sections were established along Back Creek, seven were established along
the main channel and one cross - section was established along both the upstream tributary and the
central tributary Stream dimension, profile, and substrate were evaluated along 3,100 if of the
main channel The upstream and central tributaries were evaluated through visual assessments
and cross - sectional surveys
Main Channel
The pattern, profile, and dimension of the restored channel appear stable for the majority of the
project The structures appear to be in good condition, however, a few structures have moderate
scour around the vane arms where they tie into the bankfull elevation Instances of localized
bank scour occurred earlier in the monitoring history and were scattered across the site but
generally did not advance, with bank stability percentages at or above 95% for the project's
monitoring history A few of these areas were severe and associated with some mid and
transverse bars that subsequently flushed out of the system Vegetation growth has improved in
these areas and is further stabilizing previous bank scour Within these areas, vegetation growth
has unproved, which is stabilizing the banks One (1) area within the restored reach is still
illustrating signs of aggradation (approximate stationing 19 +93), but there has been little to no
changes occurring in the past few monitoring years
The average bankfull width (26 61 ft) of the surveyed cross - sections is higher than the proposed
22 4 ft but continues to illustrate a narrowing trend in comparison to the average bankfull width
in 2006 (32 40 ft) The average surveyed mean bankfull depth is 2 02 ft compared to the
proposed 2 5 ft, however, in comparison to the average mean depth in 2006 (1 89 ft), the Site's
average cross - sectional depth continues to increase The surveyed bankfull widths and depths
lead to an average Width/Depth (W/D) ratio of 16 24, and the sinuosity is 1 5 The W/D ratio
(16 24) is typical of a C -type channel, but the sinuosity (1 5) is typical of an E -type channel
Therefore, due to these defining characteristics for the 2010 monitoring year, the stream was
classified as an E4c The average W/D ratio (13 65) has decreased since the 2006 monitoring
year (18 52) indicating that the channel is becoming more narrow and deep, which is typical for
E -type streams
The 2010 substrate analysis illustrates that all of the cross - sections within the restoration site are
recovering from the drought conditions and beaver activity experienced in previous monitoring
years The thalweg profile appears to be stable, and was characterized by well - defined riffle and
pool features The average water surface slope and the average bankfull slope were the same for
the surveyed reach, 0 0040 ft/ft The surveyed water surface slope was slightly steeper than the
proposed 0 0034 ft /ft, but similar to the previous monitoring year surveyed slopes
A crest gauge is located downstream of cross - section 6 within the Back Creek project site One
bankfull or greater event occurred within the Back Creek restoration project in monitoring year
2010 Other indicators such as old wrack Imes and staining were observed at the bankfull and
greater elevations within the restoration site as well

Executive Summary
Upstream Tributary
Based on current monitoring data and the visual inspection, the channel seems to be functioning
properly and maintaining stability No erosion or structure failure was observed along this reach
Central Tributary
The tributary appears to be maintaining its proposed function as a B -type storm drain channel
There are some areas with minor bank erosion, but no structural failure is occurring along this
reach Cross - section 9, which is located midway along the tributary has remained vertically and
laterally stable Minor sediment deposition occurred in 2010, which resulted in a decrease in the
cross - sections mean depth (1 04 ft) from previous monitoring year ranges (124-1 32 ft) The
d50 and d84 particle size has decreased from 0 33 mm to 0 2 mm and 3 43 to 1 67, respectively
Most likely, these fine particles will be flushed with future ram events
Overall, the Site appears to be maintaining vertical and lateral stability with stable structures and
minimal bank erosion A few of the areas with aggradation, such as lateral and transverse bars,
have adjusted from previous monitoring year As a result of being flushed out with higher flows,
these depositional areas have not advanced from the previous monitoring years Please refer to
Appendix 4 for detailed stream data tables and plots and Appendix 12 for the location of the
monitoring features
1.4 Wetland Assessment
Three groundwater monitoring gauges and one ram gauge were installed on -site Two of these
groundwater gauges were installed in close proximity to Vegetation Plot 2 One gauge is located
within an emergent wetland area adjacent to the main channel The monitoring gauges are
programmed to download groundwater levels daily and were downloaded monthly from March
to November in order to capture hydrological data during the 2010 growing season The target
wetland hydrological success criterion is saturation or inundation for at least 12 5 percent of the
growing season in the lower landscape (floodplain) positions To achieve the above hydrologic
success criterion, groundwater levels must be within 12 -inches of the ground surface for 30
consecutive days, which is 12 5 percent of the March 21 to November 16 (241 days) growing
season
All gauges on -site achieved the wetland success criterion of soil saturation within the upper 12
inches for 30 consecutive days during the growing season There were no problem areas
observed within the wetland restoration zones for the Site Within the wetland zones,
hydrophytic vegetation and hydrology indicators have developed In some areas, the appropriate
soil chroma has also developed It is suspected that these areas may have already had hydric
conditions present Hydrophytic vegetation consists of a thick herbaceous layer of sedge species
(Carex spp ), rush species (Juncus spp ), bulrush species (Scirpus spp ), spotted touch -me -not
(Impatiens capensis), and smartweed species (Polygonum spp ) The general success of
hydrology within the wetland restoration zones is adequate to meet success requirements
Surface inundation to ground saturation was observed throughout the site, therefore, appropriate
hydrological condition for the wetland zones appears to be present Please refer to Appendix 5
for wetland plots and a summary of the wetland criteria attainment

Executive Summary
1.5 Annual Monitoring Summary
In summary, the Site has met the stream, vegetation, and wetland mitigation goals for monitoring
year 5 The 2010 vegetation plot monitoring results indicate that the planted and naturally
recruited vegetation is doing well at the Site, although some minor vegetation problems were
noted due to the severe drought experienced during the 2007 growing season The pattern,
profile, and dimension of the restored channel and the two unnamed tributaries appear to be
maintaining vertical and lateral stability with stable structures and minimal bank erosion A few
problem areas were observed, such as moderate bank erosion, moderate to poor streambank
cover, loose matting, and aggradation These areas of stream instability do not appear to have
advanced from the previous monitoring years For the 2010 monitoring year, all gauges
achieved the wetland success criterion of soil saturation within the upper 12 inches for 30
consecutive days

SECTION 2
METHODOLOGY
2.1 Methodology
Methods employed for the Site were a combination of those established by standard regulatory
guidance and procedure documents as well as previous monitoring reports completed by
EcoScience Geomorphic and stream assessments were performed following guidelines outlined
in the Stream Channel Reference Sites An Illustrated Guide to Field Techniques (Harrelson et
al, 1994) and in the Stream Restoration a Natural Channel Design Handbook (Doll et al, 2003)
Vegetation assessments were conducted following the NCEEP 2004 Stem Counting Protocol
which consists of counting woody stems within the established vegetation plots JJG used the
Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, Georgia, and surrounding areas by Alan S Weakley as the
taxonomic standard for vegetation nomenclature for this report Precipitation data for the
hydrographs was obtained from an off -site resource in Concord, NC weather station (the nearest
station offering daily precipitation data) through Weather Underground URL
