The North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program ( NCEEP) has completed enhancement and
preservation of streams and wetlands at the UT to Haw (Gwynn) Site (hereafter referred to as the "Site ") to
assist in fulfilling stream and wetland mitigation goals in the area The Site is located approximately 9
miles north of Burlington, in Alamance County within United States Geological Survey (USGS)
Hydrologic Unit 03030002030010 (North Carolina Division of Water Quality Subbasin 03- 06 -02) of the
Cape Fear River Basin and will service USGS 8 -digit Cataloging Unit (CU) 03030002 (Figure 1, Appendix
A) The Site is located within a NCEEP Targeted Local Watershed, in addition, this Site was identified for
preservation and enhancement as Site 26 (Travis & Tickle 15 4) in the 2008 NCEEP Little Alamance,
Travis, and Tickle Creek Local Watershed Plan (PTCG 2008)
The removal of invasive species and subsequent planting with native riparian vegetation at the Site resulted
in 2428 linear feet of stream enhancement, 2 0 acres of riparian riverine wetland enhancement, and 0 3
acres of riparian riverme wetland preservation Site activities provided 971 Stream Mitigation Units and
I 1 riparian riverme Wetland Mitigation Units Tables summarizing project objectives and activities are
included in Appendix A This report (compiled based on EEP's Procedural Guidance and Content
Requirements for EEP Monitoring Reports Version 1 3 dated 1/15/10) summarizes data for year 4 (2013)
monitoring
Prior to construction the Site was characterized by pasture land utilized for livestock grazing, a drained
pond, and disturbed forest Land use practices including the maintenance and removal of riparian
vegetation and hoof shear from livestock had resulted in degraded water quality, unstable channel
characteristics (stream entrenchment, erosion, and bank collapse), and reduced storage capacity and
floodwater attenuation In addition, hydric soils were disturbed due to regular plowing, vegetation
maintenance, and hoof shear from livestock
The goals and objectives of this project focused on improving local water quality, enhancing flood
attenuation, and restoring aquatic and riparian habitat These goals were accomplished by the following
1 Reducing nonpoint sources of pollution by l) fencing livestock from stream channels, buffers, and
wetlands, 2) ceasing the application of agricultural herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers, and 3)
providing a vegetative buffer adjacent to streams and wetlands to treat surface runoff prior to
entering Site streams and ultimately the Haw River
2 Reducing sedimentation/siltation within on -Site and downstream receiving waters by a) eliminating
bank erosion associated with livestock hoof shear on Site streams, b) filtering surface runoff and
reducing particulate matter deposition into tributaries, and c) providing a forested vegetative buffer
adjacent to Site streams and wetlands
3 Promoting floodwater attenuation and improving stream stability by revegetating Site floodplams
to reduce floodwater velocities through increased frictional resistance on floodwaters crossing Site
floodplams
4 Providing increased habitat for aquatic wildlife by 1) increasing organic matter, carbon export, and
woody debris in the stream corridor and 2) restoring shade to Site open waters
5 Providing wildlife habitat including a forested riparian corridor within a region of the state
increasingly dissected by residential/agricultural land use
6 Protecting a Site identified in the 2008 Piedmont Triad Council of Government's Little Alamance,
Travis, and Tickle Creek Watersheds Restoration Plan (PTCG 2008) for preservation due to its
location within a remote, rural area along the heavily used Boone Road (SR 1602) resulting in
increasing development pressure and appeal to developers

Success criteria for stream enhancement will include 1) success of riparian vegetation and 2)
documentation of two bankfull channel events One bankfull event was documented to date during year 4
monitoring (2013) for a total of seven documented bankfull events with at least one event documented to
occur in each monitoring year
Success criteria dictate that an average density of 320 stems per acre of Characteristic Tree Species must be
surviving in the first three monitoring years Subsequently, 260 Characteristic Tree Species per acre must
be surviving to year 5 Based on the number of stems counted, average densities were measured at 1068
planted stems per acre (excluding livestakes) surviving in year 4 (2013) Stem counts decreased slightly as
the result of competition from herbaceous species such as soft rush (Juncus effusus) in wetter portions of
the Site The dominant planted stems identified at the Site were swamp chestnut oak (Quercus michauxii),
cherrybark oak (Quercus pagoda), silky dogwood (Cornus amomum), and green ash (Fraxinus
pennsylvanica) All individual plots met success criteria when counting planted stems alone
There are some minor areas of multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora) and Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense)
scattered throughout the site Invasive species are minimal and pose no threat to planted stems at this time
Growth rates and vigor of planted stems had slightly decreased within the wetland enhancement area during
the year 4 (2013) monitoring season This can be attributed to flooding from a beaver dam observed on
August 8, 2013 Even so, all individual plots met success criteria and there is an abundant seed source
adjacent to the Site Plants within the wetland enhancement area will continue to be monitored closely
throughout the remainder of the monitoring period Beaver activity continues within the Site, APHIS
continues to manage and trap beaver Areas of beaver activity are depicted on Figure 2 (Appendix A)
in summary, the Site achieved success criteria for vegetation and stream attributes in the Fourth Monitoring
Year (2013) Summary information and data related to the occurrence of items such as beaver or
encroachment and statistics related to performance of various project and monitoring elements can be
found in tables and figures within this report's appendices Narrative background and supporting
information formerly found in these reports can be found in the mitigation and restoration plan documents
available on EEPs website All raw data supporting the tables and figures in the appendices is available
from EEP upon request
2.0 METHODOLOGY
2.1 Stream Assessment
Annual stream monitoring will include vegetation survival (Section 2 2 Vegetation Assessment) and a
photographic record of preconstruction and postconstruction conditions Photographs of the enhancement
(level II) reach will be taken for each year of the monitoring period (Appendix D) In addition, visual
assessments of the stream will be conducted by walking the length of stream and bankfull flow events will
be documented (Appendix E)
2.2 Vegetation Assessment
After planting was completed, an initial evaluation was performed to verify that planting methods were
successful and to determine initial species composition and density Five vegetation plots were established
and marked after construction with four foot metal U -bar post demarking the corners with a ten foot, three -
quarter inch PVC at the origin The plots are 10 meters square and are located randomly within the Site
These plots were surveyed in July 2013 for the year 4 (2013) monitoring season using the CVS -EEP
Protocol for Recording Vegetation, Version 4 2 (Lee et al 2008) (htto //cvs bio unc edu /methods htm),
results are included in Appendix C The taxonomic standard for vegetation used for this document was
Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, Georgia, and Surrounding Areas (Weakley 2008)
