Dear Mr. Reid:
On January 3, 2022, Wildlands Engineering received comments from the North Carolina Division of
Mitigation Services (DMS) regarding the Draft As-Built Baseline Report dated December 8, 2021. The
following letter documents DMS feedback and Wildlands' corresponding responses and revisions to the
MY1 Report.
2.1 Vegetation Assessment: Please include a discussion regarding the request to change 3 fixed plots
to 3 random plots in this section. Please include the email correspondence with the IRT in Appendix F.
Response:A discussion has been included.
2.3 Stream Assessment: Please add the following statement or something similar following the pebble
count data discussion:The IRT reserves the right to request pebble counts data/particle distributions
if deemed necessary during the monitoring period.
Response: The statement has been included.
2.7 Adaptive Management Plan:The IRT should be notified prior to any adaptive management
activities occurring on the site.This includes supplemental plantings.A phone call may be sufficient,
but larger efforts may require species lists, quantities/density, planting area, maps and whether
selected species deviate from the approved Mitigation Plan.The IRT will determine if a formal
Adaptive Management Plan is necessary.
Response: The IRT has been notified, and correspondence is located in Appendix F.
Murdannia is widespread on the site. All stream channels and wetlands are affected. DMS
recommends discussing this problem with the IRT and developing an Adaptive Management Plan for
this issue.This invasive species is aggressive and difficult to control and will likely be an ongoing issue
throughout monitoring.
Response: The IRT has been notified, and correspondence is located in Appendix F.

1.3 Project Attributes
The Site includes the headwaters of Big Bugaboo Creek.All project reaches and the majority of the
watershed areas are contained within two farms, the larger of which is owned by Horace Randle Wood
while the smaller is owned by Gaye Swaim. Mr.Wood has owned the property and used it exclusively to
graze cattle since 2012. His property was historically used for grazing cattle though tobacco was also
cultivated on small sections of the property. Prior to construction, the Wood property remained mostly
non-forested cattle pasture with cattle having access to all surface waters on the property other than a
Bug Headwaters Mitigation Site
Monitoring Year 1 Annual Report-Final 1-3
pond just below the confluence of Big Bugaboo Creek and UT2 and short reaches of both of these
streams just upstream of the pond. Cattle access had severely degraded a majority of the streams.The
Swaim property has been in the family for over 60 years and had primarily been used for row crop
agriculture. Prior to construction, it was used to cultivate corn and soybeans.There was an in-line pond
on the Swaim property that received heavy sediment loads whenever the fields were tilled due to the
absence of a vegetated buffer around the pond.The remaining portions of the watershed outside of the
Wood and Swaim properties are mostly cleared and used for pasture and row crops, although there is a
pocket of forested area on the southeastern side of the watershed and wooded riparian corridors are
present on the far upstream and downstream ends of the Site.Table 3 below and Table 8 in Appendix C
present additional information on pre-restoration conditions.

Section 2: Monitoring Year 1 Data Assessment
Annual monitoring and site visits were conducted during MY1 to assess the condition of the project.The
vegetation and stream success criteria for the Site follow the approved success criteria presented in the
Mitigation Plan (Wildlands, 2020). Performance criteria for vegetation, stream, and hydrologic
assessment are located in Section 1.2 Table 3: Goals, Performance Criteria, and Functional
Improvements. Methodology for annual monitoring is presented in the MYO Annual Report (Wildlands,
2021).
2.1 Vegetative Assessme
In the approved Mitigation Plan (2020), only fixed vegetation plots were proposed on the site.After
discussions with the IRT(Appendix F) during as-built, it was determined that random vegetation plots
were required for the Site.Three vegetation plots were switched from fixed plots to random plots.The
three fixed vegetation plots from MYO that were switched to random plots were VP 3, VP 5, and VP 15.
The table below are the vegetation plots with the updated name changes.

The MY1 vegetative survey was completed in October 2021. Vegetation monitoring resulted in a stem
density range of 40 to 607 planted stems per acre. Out of the 15 vegetation plots, thirteen are meeting
the interim requirement of 320 stems per acre required at MY3. Fixed vegetation plot 12 and random
vegetation plot 15, are both located along UT3 which was the bottom of a former pond. Both vegetation
plots are not meeting the interim requirement with only 40 planted stems per acre surviving in each
plot. Herbaceous vegetation is also abundant across the Site and includes native pollinator species
indicating a healthy riparian habitat.The riparian habitat is helping to reduce nutrient runoff from the
cattle fields outside the easement and stabilizing the stream banks. Refer to Appendix A for Vegetation
Plot Photographs and the Vegetation Condition Assessment Table and Appendix B for Vegetation Plot
Data.
2.2 Vegetation Areas of Concern
The MY1 assessment indicated only a small number of planted trees survived in the old pond bottoms
along the right side of Big Bugaboo Creek Reach 3 and both sides of UT3 (Figure lb-c).The visual
assessment of the right side of Big Bugaboo Creek Reach 3 indicated some planted trees survived, but
Bug Headwaters Mitigation Site
Monitoring Year 1 Annual Report-Final 2-1
not at the appropriate densities to meet the MY7 final requirement of 210 stems per acre.The visual
assessment of UT3 indicated only black willows (Salix nigra) are becoming established.The major cause
for the tree mortality in these areas is likely highly saturated soils.These areas in the old pond bottom
are naturally low spots in the floodplain and have standing water on them for a portion of the year.
These areas will be evaluated and planted in the winter of 2022 with woody stems more suited for
saturated conditions.The low stem density areas are only nine percent (1.75 acres) of the entire planted
acreage (19.00 acres). Even though many of the planted trees did not survive the saturated soil
conditions, herbaceous vegetation, including pollinator species, is thriving. Refer to Section 2.7 for more
information on the management plan for the low stem density areas.
Murdannia has grown throughout the existing wetlands (6.61 acres) on the Site (Figure la-c).The
invasive vegetation was treated in July 2021 using a chemical treatment but follow up treatments will
occur in MY2. Refer to Section 2.7 for more information on the management plan for Murdannia.
2.3 Stream Assessment
Morphological surveys for MY1 were conducted in October 2021. All streams within the Site are stable
and functioning as designed. All 18 cross-sections at the Site show little to no change in the bankfull area
and width-to-depth ratio, and bank height ratios are less than 1.2. Pebble count data is no longer
required per the September 29, 2021 Technical Work Group Meeting and is not included in this report.
The IRT reserves the right to request pebble count data/particle distributions if deemed necessary
during the monitoring period. Refer to Appendix A for the Visual Stream Morphology Stability
Assessment Table and Stream Photographs and Appendix C for Stream Geomorphology Data.
stream Areas of Concern
Murdannia has spread from the wetlands into the stream channels on the Site (Figure la-c).The in-
stream vegetation was also treated in July 2021 at the same time as the wetland treatments. Due to the
amount of in-stream vegetation throughout the channels, some sediment deposition has occurred.
Once the invasive vegetation is removed, it is expected the sediment will flush through the system.
Refer to Section 2.7 for more information on the management plan for Murdannia.
2.5 Hydrology Assessment
Bankfull events were recorded on Big Bugaboo Reach 3 and Reach 4, UT2 Reach 5, and UT3. All channels
are on track to meet the hydrologic success criteria of four bankfull events in separate years.
In addition, the presence of baseflow must be documented on intermittent reaches (UT1, UT2 Reach 1,
UT2A Reach 2, and UT2B) for a minimum of 30 consecutive days during a normal precipitation year.
Intermittent reaches maintained baseflow from 102 to 211 consecutive days. Refer to Appendix D for
hydrologic data.
2.6 Wetland Assessment
The extent of wetlands will be reverified during MY5 to document wetland acreage was not lost due to
stream restoration. No performance standard is tied to reverification.
..7 Adaptive Management Plan
Supplemental planting will occur in the former pond bottoms along the right side of Big Bugaboo Creek
Reach 3 and both sides of UT3. Due to saturated soil conditions, a mixture of bare roots and live stakes
will be planted in the winter of 2022.While species selection will be dependent on nursery availability,
the current plan includes black willow (Salix nigra), silky willow(Salix sericea), elderberry(Sambucus
spp.), and button bush (Cephalanthus occidentalis) as live stakes and sycamore (Platanus occidentalis),
Bug Headwaters Mitigation Site
Monitoring Year 1 Annual Report-Final 2-2
river birch (Betula nigra), box elder (Acer negundo), and tag alder (Alnus serrulata) as bare roots. Refer
to Appendix F for IRT correspondence.
An aggressive treatment will occur during MY2 to treat the widespread Murdannia in the wetlands and
stream channels. Depending on the effectiveness, multiple chemical treatments may occur between the
end of May and August. Refer to Appendix F for IRT correspondence.
e..8 Monitoring Year 1 Summary
Out of the 15 vegetation plots, 13 are exceeding the MY3 interim requirement of 320 planted stems per
acre. A mixture of live stakes and bare roots will be planted on 1.75 acres during the winter of 2022. All
streams within the Site are stable and meeting project goals. Murdannia was documented across stream
channels and wetlands and will be treated aggressively throughout MY2. Bankfull events were
documented on all stream reaches and greater than 30 days of consecutive flow was recorded on all
intermittent reaches, fulfilling MY1 success requirements. Overall, the Site is meeting its goals of
preventing excess nutrients and sediment from entering the Yadkin River tributaries and is on track to
meet final success criteria.
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. All raw data supporting the tables and
figures in the appendices are available from DMS upon request.

Hi Carolyn,
That's fine if you make plots 5 and 15 random, as long as the veg in the pond bottoms is captured
annually. I couldn't tell from the map that the wetland was already forested, but if supplemental planting
occurred or the outside edge of the buffer was planted, I'd like that area captured in a random plot at
least once during monitoring. It also helps us see if invasives are present in unplanted areas. It's also
important to put random plots in areas where existing wetlands were, and in the planted area where the
dams were removed. Ideally, I'd like plots 5 and 15 to be permanent and have at least two additional
random plots. I'm OK with what you proposed, but we may request additional random plots in future
monitoring years if we feel we're not getting an overall picture of veg success.
Here's a section from our draft guidance that may help you determine where to place plots, and what
we're looking for:
Vegetation monitoring plots should be located across the site to provide a random sampling of all the
vegetation community types reestablished on the site. For projects that include both streams and
wetland, the plots should be located to cover both the stream buffers and wetlands. If ponds have been
removed as part of the work, the area of the former pond beds must contain monitoring plots. The
monitoring plots must make up a minimum of 2% of the planted portion of the site with a minimum of 4
plots. Regardless of the percentage of the site sampled, vegetation plots must cover all soil types,
vegetation communities, different hydrology regimes, and mitigation approaches on the site, as well as
any other areas of concern (e.g., near the easement boundary where encroachments are more likely,
areas where soils have been disturbed or compacted, dam removal, etc.).
Feel free to give me a call if you need to discuss.
Thanks
Kim

Good Afternoon Kim,
My name is Carolyn Lanza, the lead scientist working on Bug Headwaters.Jeff asked me to communicate
directly with you to discuss the random veg plots. Wildlands will plan to make Veg Plot 5 and 15 random

but keep them in the general areas of both ponds throughout the monitoring lifecycle. We will also
convert Veg Plot 3 to random and can move it around different wetland areas throughout the site.
However, the wetland along Big Bugaboo Creek Reach 4 was predominantly forested and was left
undisturbed. There was only a small section that was planted. Putting a random veg plot in that area
every year would not leave us much room to move it around. We can move Veg Plot 3 to the planted
areas along Big Bugaboo Creek Reach 4 once or twice throughout the monitoring lifecycle, if requested
by the IRT. Attached is the planting plan for Big Bugaboo Creek Reach 4 along with the CCPV.
Thank you,
Carolyn Lanza I Environmental Scientist

Subject: RE: Bug Headwaters Veg Plots
Hey Jeff
The District Guidance states that a combination of permanent and fixed plots and random plots should
be used to demonstrate vegetation coverage, so it's assumed when we review the draft mitigation plans
that random plots are included. As long as the plots make up the minimum 2% of the planted portion of
the site, I'm fine with switching 3 of them to random. I'm definitely going to want to see veg data where
the pond was dewatered, so it might be good to plan for plot 5 to be permanent, or have a random plot
in that general area each year. I can't tell if plot 15 is an area where a pond was removed, but if so, I'll
want to see veg data here annually as well. I also noted a lot of existing wetlands on the site that aren't
captured with plot data, so putting a random plot on Big Bugaboo Creek Reach 4, near station 141+00,
will likely be a request in future monitoring years. So, I'm ok with making those three plots random, but
I'd like to capture data in the general areas where the ponds were removed annually.
Thanks

Hi Kim,

The Bug Headwaters Mit Plan was approved without any indication of using random veg plots. Our
scientists installed 15 fixed veg plots for MY0 without including any random veg plots. Based on DMS
comments, Wildlands is requesting converting veg plots 3, 5, and 15 to random veg plots for future
monitoring reports. Please let me know if this is OK and if you need any more information to support
this change. CCPV maps for MY0 attached. Thanks.

Dear Kim:
We have reviewed the IRT's comments on the Monitoring Year 0 Report for the Bug Headwaters
Mitigation Site that you sent via email on November 23, 2021. Below are responses to each of the IRT's
comments in your email. Your original comments are provided followed by our responses in bold italics.
This letter will also be included with the MY1 Report.
USACE Comments, Kim Browning:
1. Ground instability in both pond bottoms will likely be something to watch during monitoring
with regard to vegetation establishment. Was the sediment from the pond removed, and were
soil amendments added prior to plating?
For both ponds, sediment was removed from the stream corridor and replaced with stable fill
material for channel construction.Additional sediment was removed from the pond bottom
along Big Bugaboo Reach 3 to reach bankfull and floodplain elevations. Soil amendments
were added during temporary and permanent seeding activities. Herbaceous vegetation has
been established including a variety of pollinator species. The pond bottom along the right
side of Big Bugaboo Creek Reach 3 and both sides of UT3 will receive supplemental plantings
this winter. This will be addressed in the MY1 report.
2. What is the source of sediment covering the riffle at STA 201+36?
Bank settling was an issue in this area due to the surrounding saturated soil in wetlands.
Vegetation has been established and the sediment is expected to clear as the channel and
floodplain continue to stabilize.
3. If the existing wetlands were planted, please capture some of those areas with random veg plots
in future monitoring years.
Wildlands Engineering,Inc. • phone 704-332-7754 • fax 704-332-3306 • 1430 S.Mint Street,#104 • Charlotte,NC 28203
The My1 assessment has captured some existing wetlands with the random vegetation plots
as well as with fixed plots 1, 3, and 4. Wildlands will continue to rotate the random plots
around throughout the monitoring period to capture other existing wetlands.
4. Were planting substitutions made? It's difficult to tell the percent of each species planted from
Table 6.
Tag alder(Alnus serrulata) was not available for the wetland planting zone. This species was
not replaced due to very limited nursery stock availability of appropriate species, but species
percentage was adjusted accordingly in the As-Built Record Drawings Sheet 3.00 Planting
Table.
DWR Comments, Erin Davis:
1. Overall, DWR was pleased with the level of detail included in the MY0 Report. We also
appreciated DMS' comments. And thank you for providing the drone video, it was very helpful
for this review.
Noted, thank you.
2. UT3 & UT6— It could simply be a terminology thing, but "stone bank fortification" raises a yellow
flag about riprapping a section of stream. Please provide a brief description of what was done as
part of the stone bank fortification, as well as a brief justification of need.
Similar to much of the site, quarry stone was used at the UT3/UT6 confluence because no
native stone was available. UT6 is not generating any credit. The pre-construction alignment
of UT6 was not altered but required 3'+of fill to match the proposed UT3 grade. Larger stone
was added to the riffle matrix and extended partially up the banks to deter settling and ensure
stability of the confluence.
3. Looking at the redline drawing set restoration reaches profiles, many of the as-built pools are
shallower than the design.Are these features expected to deepen over time?Will changes be
captured by the project cross-sections?
Several heavy rain events occurred during construction before vegetation was established
contributing to sediment in the pools. Bank and floodplain vegetation has now been
established and the sediment is expected to flush through the system over time. Cross-sections
will be surveyed during monitoring years 1, 2, 3,5, and 7, and data will be included in the
annual monitoring reports showing any changes captured in the cross-sections.
4. Based on observations from the video, if channel maintenance is being considered to manage
any vegetation growing within stream channels it should be proposed within the next two years.
In general, DWR does not support channel maintenance beyond MY3 in order to evaluate the
trajectory of a credit feature's functions (stream vs. wetland).
An aggressive in-stream vegetation treatment will occur in 2022 to manage the vegetation
growing within the stream channels and floodplain wetlands. Once the live stakes become
established and an effective treatment has occurred, it is expected that no channel
maintenance will be needed.
EPA Comments, Todd Bowers:
I have performed a cursory review of the Bug Headwaters mitigation site As-Built and MY0 Reports
dated October 2021. At this time I do not have any specific comments or concerns with the site as
2
presented by Wildlands Engineering.The major deviations such as rock sill replacement with log sills, the
realignment of UT 3, brush toe and riffle enhancements, fence realignments, BMP enhancements, and
the replacement of tag alder with other species in the planting plan were all noted and acceptable.
Noted.

Thank you,

Kim,we share your concern over the murdannia this early in the project, however, we are prepared to deal with it. We
have people who are experienced in treating it and will be working on controlling it at the site. The areas of murdannia
will be carefully treated to reduce non-target damage as much as possible. We will work to establish temporary seed
after the last treatment of the season in August, and once the murdannia is effectively under control, a native seed mix
will be seeded in the treated areas. We will re-evaluate and replant woody species as necessary.
As stated in the mitigation plan, the pond sediments were removed along the stream corridor through each pond and
replaced with fill material from the removed dams. The new stream channels were constructed through the fill material.
Beyond the stream corridor, the pond bed sediments were not removed. The old pond bed along Big Bugaboo Creek
does not have cracking, but portions of the old pond bed along UT3 do. We have seen this on other successful projects
such as Bethel Branch and Catfish Pond. Once the old pond beds dry out during MY1, vegetation seems to grow well.
There is no plan to remove the old pond sediment since we feel that these areas have drained enough for vegetation to
adequately grow.
I.
Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns before we move forward with these actions. Thanks!

Hi Jason,
Erin,Travis, Andrea, Casey and I discussed this and since this is only the first year for this project,the IRT is OK with the
proposed treatment of the murdannia. If this was later in monitoring, we'd likely require an adaptive management plan.
It is concerning that it is already covering a large portion of the site. From my understanding, glyphosate is somewhat
effective; however, it will likely eliminate the herbaceous layer as well. We anticipate that several years of treatment will
be required until the present seed source has germinated and been treated. Once the murdannia has been eliminated
from the site, we will require a native herbaceous seed mix to be planted. Hopefully you will be able to treat it in the
wetland areas that are adjacent to the conservation easement as well.
Regarding the pond beds, was the site constructed during a wet time of year that prevented you from removing the
sediment from the pond bottom prior to planting? Is the sediment dried and cracking? Does the replanting include
removing the old sediment and applying soil amendments, or do you feel that the areas have drained enough that a
second planting would be successful? We've observed many restoration projects through old pond beds where the
sediment was not removed and it results in a fractured surface with a herbaceous layer and very limited stem survival.
We would suggest that you look at the wetland indicator status for the proposed species and only plant those that are
FACW and OBL; for example, Northern Red Oak is FACU. Lastly, we'll require additional veg transects in the replanted
areas to monitor success.
Please follow up with more details for the pond bed replanting. Reach out with any questions.
Thanks
Kim

Kim and Erin, I wanted to give you a quick update on Bug Headwaters and make sure you are fine with our proposed
management of the project this year. The first issue is that murdannia is growing in the wetlands and streams
throughout the project. Attached are the CCPV Maps showing the locations of the murdannia and the Vegetation
Condition Assessment Table from the MY1 Monitoring Report. The plan is to spray the murdannia site-wide in May and
assess the site a month later to determine what further actions will be necessary. A follow up treatment will most likely
be necessary, but until we see how the murdannia responds to the original treatment,we won't know what our plan of
action will be.
The second issue is that portions of the old pond beds are very saturated and a majority of the planted trees have not
survived. This encompasses an area of 1.75 acres, approximately 9%of the planted area of the site. Attached is a
proposed planting list with the species, type of plant, quantities, and a note to which plants were in the approved
Mitigation Plan. The plan is to plant these areas in late February 2022.
If you could review the attached information and let us know if you have any concerns with our management plan
moving forward, it would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if you have any questions about it. Thanks!
