Mint Street, 9 104 • Charlotte, NC 28203 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Division of Mitigation Services (DIMS) restored, enhanced, and preserved approximately 19,587 linear feet (LF) of Moores Fork and 13 unnamed tributaries (UTs), provided livestock fencing and alternative water sources to exclude livestock from streams, removed invasive plant species across the project, and established native riparian buffers. The restoration project was developed to fulfill stream mitigation requirements accepted by the DIMS for the Upper Yadkin River Basin (Cataloging Unit 03040101). The Moores Fork Stream Mitigation Project (Site) will net 11,587.543 stream mitigation units (SMU) through a combination of restoration, enhancement I and 11, and preservation. The Site is within a Targeted Local Watershed (TLW) identified in the Upper Yadkin River Basin Restoration Priority (RBRP) plan (NCDENR, 2009). The RBRP identified the Stewarts Creek 14-digit HUC 03040101100010 as a TLW. Agriculture is the primary land use in the watershed (36% agriculture land cover and only 3% impervious cover), and the RBRP identified degraded riparian buffers as the major stressor to water quality. The Site is also located within the identified RBRP as a priority subwatershed for stream restoration and agricultural BMPs according to the initial Upper Yadkin -Ararat River local watershed planning (LWP). The final design was completed in June 2013. The Site was constructed in December 2014 and planted in February 2015. An as -built survey was conducted following construction in December 2014. However, following construction, a large flood event with an estimated return interval of 50 to 100 years occurred at the site on April 18-19, 2015, causing damage to the main stem of Moores Fork. This damage was repaired in March and April of 2016, and a second as -built survey was performed on the repaired areas in April of 2016. The baseline monitoring efforts began in June of 2016 and monitoring year (MY) 1 efforts were initiated in late October of 2016. The Site has been monitored on an annual basis and MY6 activities were completed in September 2021. The following report summarizes the MY6 status of the Site. Overall, the Site is on track to meet monitoring success criteria for MY7 vegetation, geomorphology, and hydrology performance standards. The MY6 vegetation survey resulted in an average stem density of 482 planted stems per acre and an average height of 14.9 feet. The Site is on track to meet the MY7 density requirement of 210 planted stems per acre, with all 12 plots (100%) individually exceeding this requirement. Additionally, the MY6 visual assessment revealed that invasive plant populations have been reduced due to ongoing treatments. In 2021, DIMS implemented stream repairs for nine instances of lateral and vertical instability throughout the Site that currently appear stable and are functioning as designed. The performance standard of two recorded bankfull events in separate monitoring years was met for both Moores Fork and Silage Tributary in MY3. In MY6, at least one bankfull event occurred on Moores Fork and on Silage Tributary.

The Site is located in the Yadkin River Basin; eight -digit HUC 03040101 and the 14-digit HUC 03040101100010 (Figure 1). Located in the Piedmont physiographic province (NCGS 2004), the project watershed primarily includes agricultural land cover. The drainage area for the lower end of Moores Fork is 1,527 acres, and the drainage area for Silage Tributary is 156 acres. The Site is located approximately 0.25 mile north of NC 89 on Horton Road. The project site is located on both sides of Horton Road. Latitude and longitude for the site are 36.506671 N and-80.704115 W, respectively (Figure 1). The NCDEQ DIMS restored, enhanced, and preserved approximately 19,587 LF of Moores Fork and 13 UTs, provided livestock fencing and alternative water sources to keep livestock out of the streams, removed invasive plant species across the project, and established native riparian buffers. The restoration project was developed to fulfill stream mitigation requirements accepted by the DIMS for the Upper Yadkin River Basin (HUC 03040101). Mitigation work within the Site included restoring and enhancing 15,308 LF and preserving 4,279 LF of stream. The Moores Fork Stream Restoration Project will net 11,587.543 SMUs through a combination of restoration, enhancement I and 11, and preservation. Due to overhead utility easements that cross project streams, 7.8 SMUs were removed on Silage Tributary Reach 2 (starting at STA 30+10.49 and ending at STA 30+33.95), 10.4 SMUs were removed on Moores Fork (starting at STA 37+22.01 and ending at STA 37+42.79), and 4.1 SMUs were removed on Corn Trib (starting at STA 19+38.58 and ending at STA 19+59.15) as shown in Table 1 of Appendix A. The final design was completed in June 2013. The Site was constructed in December 2014 and planted in February 2015. An as -built survey was conducted following construction in December 2014. However, following construction, a large flood event with an estimated return interval of 50 to 100 years occurred at the site on April 18-19, 2015, causing damage to the main stem of Moores Fork. This damage was repaired in March and April of 2016, and a second as -built survey was performed on the repaired areas in April of 2016. The baseline monitoring efforts began in June of 2016 and MY1 efforts were initiated in late October of 2016. The MY6 monitoring activities were completed in September 2021. More detailed information related to the project activity, history, and contacts can be found in Appendix A, Tables 1 and 2. Directions and a map of the Site are provided in Figure 1, and project components are illustrated for the Site in Figure 2. Please refer to the Project Component Map (Figure 2) for the stream features and to Table 1 for the project component and mitigation credit information for the Site. This report documents the results of the MY6 monitoring efforts. 1.1 Project Goals and Objectives Prior to construction activities, dairy and farming operations on the site deforested riparian buffers and allowed direct livestock access to the stream, leading to elevated temperatures and nutrient level. Channel straightening and dredging throughout much of the project are also contributed to channel degradation. Table 11 in Appendix D present the pre -restoration conditions in detail. This mitigation site is intended to provide numerous ecological benefits within the Yadkin River Basin. The project goals identified in the Mitigation Plan (Confluence, 2012) include: • Improve water quality in Moores Fork and the UTs through reductions in sediment and nutrient inputs from local sources; • Create conditions for dynamic equilibrium of water and sediment movement between the supply reaches and project reaches; • Promote floodwater attenuation and secondary functions associated with more frequent and extensive floodwater contact times; Moores Fork Stream Mitigation Project `�_w Monitoring Year 6 Annual Report - FINAL 1-1 • Improve in -stream habitat by increasing the diversity of bedform features; • Enhance and protect native riparian vegetation communities; and • Reduce fecal, nutrient, and sediment loads to project streams by promoting and implementing livestock best management practices. The project objectives have been defined as follows: • Restoration of the dimension, pattern, profile of approximately 1,828 LF of Moores Fork Reach 2 and 243 LF of the Pond Tributary; • Restoration of the dimension and profile (Enhancement 1) of the channel for approximately 2,832 LF of Moores Fork Reach 3, 900 LF of Silage Reach 1, 2,448 LF of Silage Reach 2, 300 LF of Barn Reach 1 and 112 LF of Corn Reach 2; • Limited channel work coupled with livestock exclusion, gully stabilization, invasive species control and buffer planting (Enhancement 11) on approximately 761 LF of Moores Fork Reach 1, 167 LF of Cow Tributary 1, 767 LF of Cow Tributary 2, 3,134 LF of Barn Reach 2, 1,350 LF of Corn Reach 1, and 466 LF of UT1; • Livestock exclusion fencing and other best management practice installations; • Invasive plant species control measures across the entire project wherever necessary; and • Preservation of approximately 4,279 LF of relatively un-impacted forested streams (UTs 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10) in a permanent conservation easement. 1.2 Monitoring Year 6 Data Assessment Annual monitoring was conducted between April and September 2021 to assess the condition of the project. The stream restoration success criteria for the Site follows the approved performance standards presented in the Moores Fork Stream Mitigation Project Final Mitigation Plan (Confluence, 2012). Annual monitoring will be conducted for seven years to provide a project data chronology that will facilitate an understanding of project status and trends. 1.2.1 Vegetation Assessment A total of 12 vegetation monitoring plots were established during the baseline monitoring within the project easement areas using a standard 10 by 10 meter plot. Please refer to Figures 3.0-3.6 in Appendix B for the vegetation monitoring locations. The final vegetation performance standard is the survival of 210 planted stems per acre and an average of 8 feet minimum in height at the end of year seven of the monitoring period. The MY6 vegetation survey was completed in September 2021, resulting in an average stem density of 482 planted stems per acre and an average stem height of 14.9 feet. The Site is well on track to meet the MY7 density requirement of 210 planted stems per acre, with all 12 plots (100%) individually exceeding the requirement. The Site is also on track to meet the MY7 height requirement with 10 of 12 plots (83%) individually exceeding the requirement. A few stems that were previously noted missing were found alive this year, which slightly increased the overall stem count by less than 1%. A majority (88%) of the surviving planted stems in vegetation plots are thriving with a health score (vigor) of 3 or 4. Approximately 12% of the surviving stems scored a vigor of 2, indicating that they have fair plant health with some damage present. This lower vigor rating is due to damage from storm events, vine strangulation, suffocation from dense herbaceous cover, insects, deer, or other unknown factors. However, some planted stems previously damaged by the aforementioned factors have grown to a height where they can likely survive and outcompete herbaceous cover, vines, and deer. In addition, desirable volunteer species such as red maple, river birch, tag alder, and tulip poplar are present throughout the Site. Please refer to Appendix B for vegetation plot photographs and Appendix C for vegetation data tables. Moores Fork Stream Mitigation Project `�_W Monitoring Year 6 Annual Report - FINAL 1-2 1.2.2 Vegetation Areas of Concern and Management Activity Currently, only 2% of the easement acreage is mapped with invasive species areas of concern. Areas of invasive plant populations were identified in MY6 throughout the Site. Species included: kudzu (Pueraria montana), Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), Multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora), oriental bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus), morning glory (Convolvulus sp.), and English ivy (Hedera helix). In 2021, invasive treatment occurred in February, April, May, and September and will continue through closeout. Along the left floodplain of Moores Fork, areas of kudzu persist and additional pockets were observed (discovered in MY6) along the stream banks and within the easement where kudzu is spreading from the adjacent property. Isolated bare/sparsely vegetated areas observed in MY6 are of minimal concern as herbaceous cover continues to become more established. Vegetation areas of concern are shown in Figures 3.0-3.6 in Appendix B. 1.2.3 Stream Assessment MY6 is a reduced monitoring year that does not require morphological surveys; therefore no cross - sectional survey was performed in 2021. In general, MY6 riffle pebble counts in Moores Fork indicate coarser sediment size distribution as compared to MYO. Along Silage Tributary, MY6 riffle pebble counts indicate similar or coarser sediment size distribution as compared to MYO. Please refer to Appendix D for pebble count plots. 1.2.4 Stream Areas of Concern and Management Activity Repair work was completed at Moores Fork in March 2021. DIMS contracted with a design firm to develop a repair plan for nine locations throughout the project area. The work included the installation of constructed riffles, boulder step/sills, vegetated geo lifts, and planting live stakes, bare root trees and transplants within disturbed areas. In addition, the conservation easement was remarked by a PLS by adding signage, posts, and fresh paint as needed. Repairs appear to be stable and functioning as designed with herbaceous cover and live stakes becoming well established along banks and rock steps/sills maintaining vertical stability. The repairs described above have decreased bank erosion along Moores Fork Reach 2 from 3.3% in MY5 to 2.5% in MY6 and along Moores Fork Reach 3, from 3.0% in MY5 to 1.0% in MY6. In addition, the repairs have reduced bank erosion along Silage Tributary Reach 1 from 3.3% in MY5 to 1.9% in MY6 and along Silage Tributary Reach 2, from 4.9% in MY5 to 4.1% in MY6. Please refer to a photolog of the repair work in Appendix B. The as -built survey of the repair is included in Appendix F. The remaining stream areas of concern include localized instances of bank instability and sediment deposition. Along Moores Fork, new or expanded areas of bank instability were noted in MY6 (STA 23+40, 34+90, 40+00, and 43+10) where woody vegetation has failed to take hold along the banks. Areas of stream instability seem to be isolated and are not prevalent along Moores Fork. Along Silage Tributary, a few new or expanded areas of bank instability were also noted in MY6 (STA 23+80, 28+70, and 29+70). Several structures that were installed for grade control have been undermined by flow piping under or around them. Areas of instability are more frequent along Silage Tributary due to the nature of this confined steep valley in combination with flashy runoff from large precipitation events. Other stream areas of concern are present in some of the smaller tributaries on the Site. Pond Tributary continues to experience sedimentation along the project start, but well -established willows and other woody vegetation along the banks are maintaining the channel function. At the project start of Corn Tributary, a significant headcut and erosion around the culvert continues to worsen. In 2019, DIMS contracted with a provider to control beaver and dams at the Site. No additional beaver activity was Moores Fork Stream Mitigation Project `�_W Monitoring Year 6 Annual Report - FINAL 1-3 observed in 2021. Stream areas of concern and management activities are shown in Figures 3.0-3.6 in Appendix B. 1.2.5 Hydrology Assessment Bankfull data collected on September 7, 2021 indicate that at least one bankfull event occurred on Moores Fork and Silage Tributary in MY6. Monthly rainfall data indicate higher than normal rainfall amounts occurred during the months of February and August 2021 (NCCRONOS, 2021). The hydrologic performance standard for the Site states that two bankfull flow events must be documented on restoration reaches within the seven-year monitoring period and must occur in separate years. The performance standard for the Site was met in MY3. Six bankfull events have been documented for Moores Fork and five bankfull events have been documented for Silage Tributary in separate years. Refer to Appendix E for hydrologic data and graphs. 1.3 Monitoring Year 6 Summary Overall, the Site is on track to meet monitoring success criteria for MY7 vegetation, geomorphology, and hydrology performance standards. The MY6 vegetation survey resulted in an average stem density of 482 planted stems per acre and an average height of 14.9 feet. The Site is on track to meet the MY7 density requirement of 210 planted stems per acre, with all 12 plots (100%) individually exceeding this requirement. Additionally, the MY6 visual assessment revealed that invasive plant populations have been reduced due to ongoing treatments. In 2021, DIMS implemented stream repairs for nine instances of lateral and vertical instability throughout the Site that appear stable and functioning as designed. The performance standard of two recorded bankfull events in separate monitoring years has been met for both Moores Fork and Silage Tributary in MY3. In MY6, at least one bankfull event occurred on Moores Fork and on Silage Tributary. 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 annual monitoring reports can be found in the Mitigation Plan documents available on the DIMS website. All raw data supporting the tables and figures in the appendices are available from DIMS upon request. Moores Fork Stream Mitigation Project `�_W Monitoring Year 6 Annual Report - FINAL 1-4 Section 2: METHODOLOGY The stream monitoring methodologies utilized in 2021 are based on standard guidance and procedures documents (Rosgen 1996 and USACE 2003). 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. Planted woody vegetation is being monitored in accordance with the guidelines and procedures developed by the Carolina Vegetation Survey-EEP Level 2 Protocol (Lee et al., 2008). Crest gages were installed in surveyed riffle cross -sections and monitored semi-annually.
