Thanks Ian.
7ennifer - My assumption is that you would want to do a site inspection with USACE
representation (at the same time)? If that is the case, I'll follow up with both you and Mr.
Williams once those folks in DC figure something out... Let us know your thoughts. In the
meantime we'll work to get a draft of the 5th year annual monitoring report sent out soon.
Thanks all. Good luck on future endeavors Ian and Monte! Sorry we won't be able to finish
this one out with you guys.

Monte and Ian,
Axiom is in the process of finalizing the annual monitoring report for the above site - which
happens to be year 5. Prior to finalization, we were wondering if you guys wanted to have a
follow up site visit. As you may recall, there were a couple of locations where we were
monitoring some bank erosion. Wondering about your availability prior to the end of this
month?

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Wake County has completed construction and five years of monitoring of streams and wetlands at the
South Wake Landfill Stream and Wetland Mitigation Site (hereafter referred to as the "Site ") to offset
impacts associated with the construction of the South Wake Landfill. The Site is located in United States
Geological Survey Cataloging Unit 03030004 of the Cape Fear River Basin in southwestern Wake
County approximately 2 miles northwest of the Town of Holly Springs and approximately 3 miles south
of the Town of Apex. According to the January 2007 detailed Mitigation Plan, the approximately 58.2 -
acre Site encompasses approximately 5982 linear feet of restored and enhanced (Levels I and II) stream
channel and 0.72 acres of enhanced wetlands, which offers 5729 stream credits and 0.36 wetland credits.
Site restoration procedures included 1) floodplain clearing and preparation; 2) floodplain excavation; 3)
construction of a stable, riffle -pool stream channel on new location; 4) abandonment and backfill of old
channels; and 5) creation of a native forest vegetation buffer along stream channels, within the floodplain,
and on side slopes. Site objectives included restoring characteristic groundwater hydrology and
hydrophytic vegetation communities adjacent to the constructed channel, and reestablishing streamside
and riparian hardwood and mixed -mesic forest communities to further protect water quality and enhance
opportunities for wildlife.
In summary, the wetland enhancement area exceeded hydrology success criteria (12.5 percent saturation)
for year 5 (2013) annual monitoring by exhibiting groundwater for a period of 61 days from June 1, 2013
until August 8, 2013 (61 consecutive days). In addition, vegetation success criteria (260 tree stems per
acre) were exceeded for the year 5 (2013) annual monitoring year with 2178 Character Tree Species
stems per acre across the Site. Each individual plot with the exception of plot 3 met success criteria. Plot
3 was only one stem shy of meeting success criteria and is located within a closed canopy.
Annual monitoring for geometric activity includes measurements of approximately 4600 linear feet of
stream profile, 12 permanently monumented channel cross - sections, and substrate pebble counts. As a
whole, monitoring measurements indicate that there have been minimal changes in both the longitudinal
profile and cross - sections as compared to as -built data. The forested upstream reach of the Site is
relatively stable with areas of minor bank erosion and scour. An eroded outer bend located where the
stream leaves the forested upstream reach was repaired with log vanes in the winter of 2012/2013. These
repairs are intact and providing bank stability. Several areas of bank erosion, surface scour, and sediment
deposition /aggradation were occurring within the downstream half of the Site where a bankfull bench was
excavated. Measures to stabilize these areas were implemented in the winter of 2009 including
installation of log vanes and floodplain interceptors, sloping point bars, recontouring eroded banks,
matting and planting herbaceous vegetation in floodplain scour areas, willow staking repaired banks, and
replanting areas disturbed by remedial actions with seedlings. Though slightly more outer -bend erosion
has been observed due to several heavy rain events during monitoring year 5 (2013), stabilization
measures appear to be stabilizing stream banks (Figure 3, Appendix A). Bankfull events have been
documented during each monitoring year.
Annual water quality monitoring has been completed at the Site for the past four years by Mark
Townley's Advanced Placement Environmental Science Class from Holly Springs High School. Results
indicate continued water quality improvement and overall the stream was rated as clean to very clean
(Appendix E). Data collected included measurements of nitrates, phosphorus, alkalinity, and dissolved
oxygen, and collection of benthic macroinvertebrates. Nitrate and phosphorus levels are well below the
lOppm state standard, (ranging from 0- 1.8ppm and 0.75- 1.5ppm, respectively). Alkalinity is above the
20ppm typical to buffer acidity (ranging from 25- 48.75ppm); however, alkalinity levels aren't high
enough to affect pH, which is near neutral (ranging from 6.25- 6.75). Dissolved oxygen is good and high
enough to sustain life (ranging from 6.9 -8.26 ppm) as evidenced by benthic macroinvertebrates collected
at the Site dominated by mayflies, stoneflies, caddisflies, and riffle beetles.

SOUTH WAKE LANDFILL
STREAM AND WETLAND MITIGATION SITE
WAKE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Wake County has completed construction and year five monitoring of streams and wetlands at the South
Wake Landfill Stream and Wetland Mitigation Site (hereafter referred to as the "Site ") to offset impacts
associated with the construction of the South Wake Landfill. The Site is located in United States
Geological Survey (USGS) Cataloging Unit 03030004 of the Cape Fear River Basin in southwestern Wake
County approximately 2 miles northwest of the Town of Holly Springs and approximately 3 miles south of
the Town of Apex (Figure 1, Appendix A). According to the January 2007 detailed Mitigation Plan, the
approximately 58.2 -acre Site encompasses approximately 5982 linear feet of restored and enhanced (Levels
I and II) stream channel and 0.72 acres of enhanced wetlands, which offers 5729 stream credits and 0.36
wetland credits. This report represents the year 5 (2013) Annual Monitoring Report. Monitoring activities
have been performed throughout 2013, including evaluations of wetland hydrology, soils, vegetation, and
stream characteristics.
Site restoration procedures included 1) floodplain clearing and preparation; 2) floodplain excavation; 3)
construction of a stable, riffle -pool stream channel on new location; 4) abandonment and backfill of old
channels; and 5) creation of a native forest vegetation buffer along stream channels, within the floodplain,
and on side slopes. Site objectives included restoring characteristic groundwater hydrology and
hydrophytic vegetation communities adjacent to the constructed channel, and reestablishing streamside and
riparian hardwood and mixed -mesic forest communities to further protect water quality and enhance
opportunities for wildlife. Information on project managers, owners, and contractors follows:

2.0 MONITORING PROGRAM
Monitoring at the Site entails analysis of three primary parameters: hydrology, vegetation, and stream
characteristics. Monitoring of restoration efforts will be performed for a minimum of 5 years or until
success criteria are fulfilled. The monitoring program is depicted in Figure 2 (Appendix A) and is
described below.
2.1 Wetland Hydrology
2.1.1 Hydrology Monitoring Procedure
After hydrological modifications were completed at the Site, one continuously recording groundwater
monitoring gauge was installed within the wetland enhancement area in accordance with specifications in
Installing Monitoring Wells /Piezometers in Wetlands (NCWRP 1993). The monitoring gauge was set to a
depth of 24 inches below the soil surface. Screened portions of the gauge were surrounded by filter fabric,
buried in a sand screen, and sealed with a bentonite cap to prevent siltation and surface flow infiltration
during floods.
Hydrological sampling will be performed annually in enhancement areas during the growing season (March
30 to November 5 [221 days]) at daily intervals (USDA 1970).
2.1.2 Hydrologic Success Criteria
Target hydrological goals use regulatory wetland hydrology criteria or reference wetland data for atypically
dry years when success criteria are not achieved. Target hydrological characteristics include saturation
(free water) within 1 foot of the soil surface or inundation for at least 12.5 percent of the growing season
during average climatic conditions. This hydroperiod translates to saturation for a minimum, 28 -day (12.5
percent) consecutive period during the growing season, which extends for 221 days from March 30 to
November 5 (USDA 1970).
2.1.3 Hydrological Monitoring Results and Comparison with Success Criteria
The wetland enhancement area achieved hydrology success criteria for year 5 (2013) annual monitoring by
exhibiting groundwater within one foot of the soil surface for 88 consecutive days (the entire growing
season through September 27, 2013) (Table 1). A hydrograph for the gauge is provided in Appendix B
along with daily rainfall totals for 2013 collected at nearby rain station. In addition, there was a presence of
hydrophytic vegetation and hydric soils in the vicinity of the gauge.

2.2 Vegetation
2.2.1 Vegetation Monitoring Procedure
Following Site construction, six vegetation monitoring plots (10 meters by 10 meters in size) were
established and monumented with metal fence posts at all plot corners and PVC at each plot origin (Figure
2, Appendix A). In each sample plot, vegetation parameters to be monitored include species composition,
species density, height and girth measurements, and vigor.
South Wake Landfill Stream and Wetland Mitigation Site page 2
Annual Stream and Wetland Monitoring Report Wake County
Year 5 (2013)
During the first year, vegetation received a cursory, visual evaluation on a periodic basis to ascertain the
degree of overtopping of planted elements by nuisance species. Subsequently, quantitative sampling of
vegetation has been performed each year using the CVS -EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation Level 1 -2
Plot Sampling Only (Version 4.2) (Lee et al. 2008) in September of the first monitoring year and between
June 1 and September 30 for each subsequent year.
2.2.2 Vegetation Success Criteria
Success criteria have been established to verify that the vegetation component supports community
elements necessary for floodplain forest development. Success criteria are dependent upon the density and
growth of characteristic forest species. Additional success criteria are dependent upon density and growth
of "Character Tree Species," which include planted species, those listed by Schafale and Weakley (1990),
and species identified in the reference forest ecosystem (RFE). As outlined in the January 2007 South
Wake Landfill Mitigation Plan, community associations include 1) stream -side assemblage, 2) Piedmont
Bottomland Forest, and 3) Mesic -Mixed Hardwood Forest (Table 2).

As reported in the January ZUU "/ Dbuth Wake Landfill Mitigation Plan
An average density of 320 stems per acre over all sampling transects of Character Tree Species must be
surviving at the end of the third year of monitoring. Subsequently, 290 Character Tree Species per acre
must be surviving at the end of year 4, and 260 Character Tree Species per acre must be surviving at the
end of year 5.
2.2.3 Vegetation Sampling Results and Comparison to Success Criteria
Quantitative sampling of vegetation occurred in September 2013. Results are summarized below in Table
3; CVS output and photographs of each plot are provided in Appendix C. Vegetation success criteria for
year 5 (260 tree stems per acre) were exceeded with 2178 Character Tree Species stems per acre across the
Site. In addition, all vegetation plots met success criteria except plot 3, which was only one stem shy of
meeting success criteria and is located in a closed canopy (Table 3).
2.3 Stream
2.3.1 Stream Monitoring Procedure
Annual monitoring for geometric activity include measurements of approximately 4600 linear feet of
stream profile, 12 permanently monumented channel cross - sections (six riffles and six pools), and substrate
pebble counts. In addition, bank pin arrays were installed in two outer bends to tract lateral erosion in the
reach (Figure 2, Appendix A).

Data collected for each reach included the following:
Dimension
Bankfull cross - sectional area, bankfull width, average depth, maximum depth, pool width, pool
maximum depth, entrenchment ratio, width -depth ratio, riffle maximum depth /average depth, bank
height ratio, pool depth/average depth, pool width/bankfull width, pool area/bankfull cross -

Profile
Average water surface slope, valley slope, riffle slope, pool slope, riffle slope /average water

Substrate
D16, D35, D50, D84, D95
The stream was subsequently classified according to stream geometry and substrate (Rosgen 1996).
Significant changes in channel morphology were tracked and reported for comparison to data in successive
monitoring years.
2.3.2 Stream Success Criteria
Success criteria for stream restoration includes 1) successful classification of the reach as a functioning
stream system (Rosgen 1996) and 2) channel stability indicative of a stable stream system. The channel
configuration will be measured on an annual basis in order to track changes in channel geometry, profile,
and /or substrate as compared to the design plans and previous geometry data to track changes in channel
geometry, profile, or substrate. These data will be utilized to determine the success in restoring stream
channel stability.
Specifically, there shall be no significant change in channel geometry from the constructed channel, pool
depths and widths should remain consistent with the constructed geometry, the profile should continue to
show development of bed features with no significant channel aggradation or degradation, and over time
the channel will be successfully classified as an E/C -type stream. In addition, based on regulatory guidance
for stream restoration projects in North Carolina (USACE et. al. 2003), two bankfull events must occur at
the Site in separate years during the 5 -year monitoring period.
2.3.3 Stream Sampling Results and Comparison to Success Criteria
During the year 5 (2013) monitoring period, 12 cross - sections and approximately 4600 linear feet of
longitudinal profile were measured. Plots of permanent cross - sections, longitudinal profiles, and substrate
analyses are included in Appendix D. Tables summarizing data collected during stream measurements are
included below (Tables 5A -5C).
As a whole, monitoring measurements indicate that there have been minimal changes in both the
longitudinal profile and cross - sections as compared to as -built data. The forested upstream reach of the
Site is relatively stable with areas of minor bank erosion and scour. An eroded outer bend located where
the stream leaves the forested upstream reach was repaired with log vanes in the winter of 2012/2013.
These repairs are intact and providing bank stability. Several areas of bank erosion, surface scour, and
sediment deposition /aggradation were occurring within the downstream half of the Site where a bankfull
bench was excavated. Measures to stabilize these areas were implemented in the winter of 2009 including
installation of log vanes and floodplain interceptors, sloping point bars, recontouring eroded banks, matting
and planting herbaceous vegetation in floodplain scour areas, willow staking repaired banks, and replanting
areas disturbed by remedial actions with seedlings. Though slightly more outer -bend erosion has been

Year 5 (2013)
observed due to several heavy rain events during monitoring year 5 (2013), stabilization measures appear to
be stabilizing stream banks (Figure 3, Appendix A).
Bank pins were utilized to track the extent of erosion in the two worst eroding bends. Bank pins were
installed in November 2012 and were measured seven times between January 13, 2013 and September 18,
2013. At each measurement, the amount of exposed bank pin was documented; the bank pin was then
pounded flush to the bank.
Both banks are exhibiting continued erosion, as depicted in Table 4. Although the bank pins indicate
significant erosion, the erosion on each bend appears to be contained within an approximately 20 -foot
reach.

3.0 SUMMARY
The wetland enhancement area exceeded hydrology success criteria (12.5 percent saturation) for year 5
(2013) annual monitoring by exhibiting groundwater for 61 consecutive days (27 %) of the growing season
(Table 7).
Table 7. Summary of Groundwater Gauge Results
* Data was collected through September 27, 2013 and will continue to be collected throughout the growing season, data will be available upon request.
Vegetation success criteria for year 5 (260 tree stems per acre) were exceeded with 2178 Character Tree
Species stems per acre counting towards success criteria across the Site. In addition, all plots except Plot 3
met success criteria (Table 3). Plot 3 was only one stem shy of success criteria and is located within a
closed canopy. Stem densities increased across the site from the 2012 monitoring year, the summary of
vegetation plot results is included below (Table 8).

The forested upstream reach of the Site is relatively stable with areas of minor bank erosion and scour.
Proactive measures along these areas are not recommended at this time. Several areas of bank erosion,
surface scour, and sediment deposition /aggradation were occurring within the downstream half of the Site
where bench was excavated. Measures to stabilize these areas were implemented in the winter of 2009
including installation of log vanes and floodplain interceptors, sloping point bars, recontouring eroded
banks, matting and planting herbaceous vegetation in floodplain scour areas, willow staking repaired banks,
and replanting areas disturbed by remedial actions with seedlings. In addition, an eroded outer bend
located where the stream leaves the forested upstream reach was repaired with log vanes in the winter of
2012/2013. Remedial activies performed in 2009 and 2012/2013 remain stable and are performing as
designed. In addition, eleven bankfull events have been documented during the first five years of
monitoring.

stream rating clean to Very clean
Impacts and Influences: We collected the highest macroinvertebrate scores ever this spring.
Nutrient levels are well below the 10ppm state standard, Alkalinity is above 20 ppm to buffer
acidity but not so high as to affect pH which was near neutral. Dissolved Oxygen was good and
high enough to sustain life.
