4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
The purpose of the proposed project is to provide stream and wetland mitigation credits in the Cape Fear 03030004 service area for the North Carolina Department of Environmental
Quality Division of Mitigation Services. Mitigation practices will include stream restoration, stream enhancement, wetland re-establishment, wetland rehabilitation, and wetland
enhancement.

4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *
The project proposes restoration and enhancement to existing streams and wetland re-establishment, wetland rehabilitation, and wetland enhancement. Stream restoration will be
achieved through the use of natural channel design and will use a Priority 1 approach. Priority 1 restoration will involve excavation of a new channel that is designed to be functional and
stable. Stream dimension, pattern, and profile have been designed to allow frequent overbank flows, a stable bed with variable bedforms using in -stream structures, well vegetated banks,
and improvements to aquatic habitat. Stream enhancement II will primarily consist of fencing out livestock, repairing localized erosion, stabilizing head cuts, and planting a native riparian
buffer. Wetland re-establishment, rehabilitation, and enhancement will be achieved through a combination of stream restoration, excluding cattle, and planting a native riparian buffer.
Excavators will be used for channel excavation, bank grading, and floodplain grading. Articulated off -road trucks and track trucks will be used for hauling soil. Small equipment such as
mini excavators and skid steers may also be used during grading activities. A conservation easement has been recorded in the project area. See Appendix 11 of the mitigation plan for
additional design information.

U

1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Restoration and enhancement will impact project channels and wetlands during construction; however, these activities are designed to have an overall
long-term positive effect. Natural channel design techniques will be used to restore and improve stream function and habitat and establish flood storage.
Stream impacts were avoided or minimized to project reaches that exhibit less instability and incision. These reaches are generally proposed for
Enhancement II. Enhancement II will involve
localized channel stabilization, fencing out cattle, removing invasive plant species, and planting native riparian species. Relocated stream alignments
and construction access roads will be located to avoid existing wetlands as much as possible and minimize grading impacts.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Restoration will involve construction of of line channel sections which will minimize sedimentation to aquatic systems during construction. Newly
constructed channel banks will be stabilized using biodegradable coir fiber matting and seeded and planted with native riparian vegetation. Haul roads
and access routes to be located on uplands where possible to avoid impacts. Construction practices will follow guidelines from the NC Erosion and
Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?
