1. Monitoring Summary: Thank you for adding the monitoring summary with tables to the beginning of the
document. Please indicate if the malfunctioning gauge has been repaired and if all gauges are now
functioning. Please add the 12%hydroperiod to the table.
Response: The malfunctioning gauge has been replaced and all monitoring gauges are now functioning
properly.The 12%hydroperiod has been added to the table.
2. 1.3 Success Criteria: Coordinate data (x,y,z)are required for volunteer stems to be included in future stem
count totals.
Response: Understood.
3. 2.1 Monitoring: Please reference the visual assessment results for each section.
Response:The visual assessment results have been referenced for each section.
4. 2.1 Monitoring Stream Summary: Provide summary information that identifies the major stream
components including the constructed channel,in-stream structures,floodplain interceptors and pools and
indicate the general status of their function.
Response:We have provided summary information regarding the major stream components in section 2.1.
5. 2.1 Monitoring—Growing Season:The March 1st start date relied on bud burst only during MY1 due to the
gauge malfunction and loss of data. The WETS table was used for the end date. Information from IRT
indicates if temperature and vegetative indicators are used to determine the beginning of the growing
season earlier in the year, you must also use the same indicators to determine the end of the growing
season.The growing season is determined in the final mitigation plan and a modification to the plan would
be required to change the growing season dates.A modification will require supporting pre-data including
temperature, bud burst/leaf drop.
Response: As requested, we have returned to the growing season determined from the final mitigation
plan.
6. 2.1 Monitoring-Vegetation: Please include discussion of the plots where a single species exceeded 50%or
where too few species were present.Are these localized or was there a trend observed onsite?
Response: We have included a discussion of plots 2 and 3,where dominant species composition exceeded
50%, and included the text here: "In plots 2 and 3, the dominant species composition exceeded 50%for
bald cypress(Taxodium distichum). Plot 2 experienced high mortality for sugarberry(Celtis laevigata)trees
that were planted at as-built, which resulted in bald cypress composing 55%of woody stems in the plot.
Plot 3 had a higher number of bald cypress trees planted at as-built when compared to other plots,however,
the species composition is localized and there is no evidence to suggest an onsite trend. Species
composition will continue to be monitored in subsequent Site visits and visual surveys will be conducted to
ensure species diversity is maintained."

Shaw's Run Mitigation Site Restoration Systems,LLC
Columbus County,North Carolina December 2021
1.0 PROJECT SUMMARY
Restoration Systems, LLC has established the North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services (NCDMS)
Shaw's Run Mitigation Site.
1.1 Project Background, Components, and Structure
The Shaw's Run Mitigation Site (hereafter referred to as the "Site") encompasses 9.44 acres of disturbed
forest and agricultural fields along warm water, unnamed tributaries to Greene Branch.The Site is located
approximately 2 miles west of Chadbourn, NC, south of NC Highway 76 in Columbus County.
Before construction, Site land use consisted of agricultural row crops and disturbed forest. Row crop
production extended to, and abutted, ditched stream margins. Herbaceous vegetation and a few shrubby
species grew within the ditches, which were regularly maintained by bush hogging and herbicide
application.As the ditch descended the valley towards Greene Branch, soils changed from the Goldsboro
and Lynchburg soil series (moderately well and somewhat poorly drained) to the Muckalee soil series
(poorly drained), and disturbed forest vegetation became more prevalent along stream margins and
floodplains. Stream channels were cleared, dredged and straightened, plowed annually for row crops,
eroded vertically and laterally, and received extensive sediment and nutrient inputs from agriculture
chemicals and sediment. The entire stream channel was ditched and cleared of vegetation which
contributed to sediment export from the Site. In addition,stream-side wetlands were cleared and drained
by channel downcutting, drain tile installation, and adjacent land uses. Preconstruction Site conditions
resulted in degraded water quality, a loss of aquatic habitat, reduced nutrient and sediment retention,
and unstable channel characteristics (loss of horizontal flow vectors that maintain pools and an increase
in erosive forces to channel bed and banks). Site restoration activities restored riffle-pool morphology,
aided in energy dissipation, increased aquatic habitat, stabilized channel banks, and greatly reduced
sediment loss from channel banks.
Proposed Site restoration activities generated 2285.000 Stream Mitigation Units (SMUs) and 5.862
Riparian Wetland Mitigation Units (WMUs) as described in Table 1.
Additional activities that occurred at the Site included the following.
• Planting 7.7 acres of the Site with 8300 stems (planted species are included in Table 6, Appendix
B).
Deviations from the construction plans included the following.
• The easement was updated from the construction plans. Construction plans had an older
easement that was not the proper(recorded) easement boundary.
• Woody material was placed in the channel riffles.
• Several log cross vanes were not installed due to Site conditions, including low slope causing the
vanes to not be necessary. Log vanes removed from the project include stations 0+30,7+20,7+85,
and 9+10 along UT1, and stations 0+30, 0+80, 1+10, 1+75, 2+05, 2+40, and 4+05 along UT2.

Site design was completed in March 2019. Construction started on March 13, 2020, and ended within a
final walkthrough on June 25, 2020. The Site was planted on December 20, 2020. Completed project
activities, reporting history,completion dates, project contacts are summarized in Tables 15-16(Appendix
E).
1.2 Project Goals and Objectives
Project goals were based on the Lumber River Basin Restoration Priorities(RBRP) report(NCEEP 2008)and
on-site preconstruction data collection of channel morphology and function observed during field
investigations.The Site is located within Targeted Local Watershed (TLW)03040203191010 and subbasin
03-07-51. The project is not located within a Local Watershed Planning area. Project goals identified in
the RBRP include the following.
1. Improve water quality through increased riparian buffer area (Project will restore approximately
7.7 acres of riparian buffer).
2. Reduce impacts from agricultural practices (Project will remove agricultural row crops from the
Site).
3. Reduce impacts from impervious surfaces (Project will incorporate one marsh treatment area to
treat ditches that receive roadside runoff).
4. Protection of existing resources (Project will be protected with a permanent conservation
easement).
In addition to the defined Cataloging Unit (CU) goals for the Lumber River, additional goals for the area
generally revolve around reducing stressors to water quality. Stressors and how each will be addressed
by project activities are as follows.
1. Sedimentation -(reduction of 15.8 tons/year after mitigation is complete).
2. Nutrients—(direct reduction of 89 pounds of nitrogen and 156 pounds of phosphorus per year
by removing agricultural row crops; eliminate fertilizer application; and installing a marsh
treatment area).
3. Land Use Impacts (imperviousness)—(incorporation of one marsh treatment area to treat
ditches that receive roadside runoff).
4. Stormwater—(reduction of bank height ratio, restoration of wetlands, reforestation, and
installation of a marsh treatment area will reduce stormwater pulses).
5. Lack of Riparian Buffer—(restoration of 7.7 acres of riparian buffer).
Site-specific mitigation goals and objectives were developed through the use of North Carolina Stream
Assessment Method (NC SAM) and North Carolina Wetland Assessment Method (NC WAM) analyses of
preconstruction and reference stream systems at the Site (NC SFAT 2015 and NC WFAT 2010) (see Table
2 below).

1.3 Success Criteria
Project success criteria have been established per the October 24, 2016, NC Interagency Review Team
Wilmington District Stream and Wetland Compensatory Mitigation Update. Monitoring and success
criteria relate to project goals and objectives. From a mitigation perspective, several of the goals and
objectives are assumed to be functionally elevated by restoration activities without direct measurement.
Other goals and objectives will be considered successful upon achieving success criteria. The following
table summarizes Site success criteria.
Success Criteria
Streams
• All streams must maintain an Ordinary High-Water Mark(OHWM), per RGL 05-05.
• Continuous surface flow must be documented each year for at least 30 consecutive days.
• Bank height ratio(BHR)cannot exceed 1.2 at any measured cross-section.
• Entrenchment ratio(ER) must be no less than 2.2 at any measured riffle cross-section.
• BHR and ER at any measure riffle cross-section should not change by more than 10%from baseline condition
during any given monitoring period.
• The stream project shall remain stable, and all other performance standards shall be met through four
separate bankfull events,occurring in separate years,during the monitoring years 1-7.
Wetland Hydrology
• Saturation or inundation within the upper 12 inches of the soil surface for, at a minimum, 12 percent of the
growing season,during average climatic conditions
Vegetation
• Within planted portions of the site,a minimum of 320 stems per acre must be present at year 3;a minimum
of 260 stems per acre must be present at year 5; and a minimum of 210 stems per acre must be present at
year 7.
• Trees must average 7 feet in height at year 5,and 10 feet in height at year 7 in each plot.
• Planted and volunteer stems are counted, provided they are included in the approved planting list for the
site; natural recruits not on the planting list may be considered by the IRT on a case-by-case basis.
Visual Assessment
• Photographs at vegetation plots and cross-sections should illustrate the Site's vegetative and morphological
stability on an annual basis, including no excessive erosion or degradation on the channel banks, no mid-
channel bars,or vertical incision. In addition,grade control structures should remain stable.
Note: BHR will be calculated using procedures outlined in the latest approved guidance from NCDMS.

Stream Summary
All streams are functioning as designed, and no stream areas of concern were observed during year 1
(2021) monitoring. The constructed channel exhibits characteristics of a stable coastal plain stream with
minimal changes in cross-sections when compared to the as-built stream measurement data.All in-stream
structures are all functioning as designed. Grade control and bank protection structures are intact and
performing as intended by controlling stream flow while preventing erosion. No floodplain interceptors
installed during construction. The marsh treatment area at the top of UT-1 has been successful in
intercepting surface waters draining through agricultural areas prior to discharge into UT-1. Stream
morphology data is available in Appendix C. Visual assessment data is available in Appendix A,Tables 4A-

Vegetation Summary
Year 1 (2021) vegetation measurements occurred on August 6, 2021. During quantitative vegetation
sampling, 7 sample plots (10-meter by 10-meter) were installed within the Site as per guidelines
established in CVS-EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation,Version 4.2(Lee et al. 2008). Measurements of
all 7 plots resulted in an average of 544 planted stems/acre, excluding livestakes. All individual plots met
success criteria (Tables 7-8, Appendix B). In plots 2 and 3, the dominant species composition exceeded
50% for bald cypress (Taxodium distichum). Plot 2 experienced high mortality for sugarberry (Celtis
Iaevigata) trees that were planted at as-built, which resulted in bald cypress composing 55% of woody
stems in the plot. Plot 3 had a higher number of bald cypress trees planted at as-built when compared to
other plots, however, the species composition is localized and there is no evidence to suggest an onsite
trend. Species composition will continue to be monitored in subsequent Site visits and visual surveys will
be conducted to ensure species diversity is maintained.Visual assessment data is available in Appendix A,

The above morphology parameters reflect the 2018 guidance that arose from the mitigation technical workgroup consisting of DMS,the IRT and industry mitigation providers/practitioners.The outcome
resulted in the focus on three primary morphological parameters of interest for the purposes of tracking channel change moving forward.They are the bank height ratio using a constant As-built bankfull
I area and the cross sectional area and max depth based on each years low top of bank.These are calculated as follows:
1-Bank Height Ratio(BHR)takes the As built bankful area as the basis for adjusting each subsequent years bankfull elevation.For example if the As-built bankfull area was 10 ft2,then the MY1 bankfull
elevation would be adjusted until the calculated bankfull area within the MY1 cross section survey=10 ft2.The BHR would then be calculated with the difference between the low top of bank(LTOB)
Bankfull Elevation(ft)-Based on AB-Bankfull'Area elevation for MY1 and the thalweg elevation for MY1 in the numerator with the difference between the MY1 bankfull elevation and the MY1 thalweg elevation in the denominator.This same process is
Bank Height Ratio_Based on AB Bankfull'Area then carried out in each successive year.
Thalweg Elevation 2 LTOB Area and Max depth-These are based on the LTOB elevation for each years survey(The same elevation used for the LTOB in the BHR calculation).Area below the LTOB elevation will be used
LTOB'Elevation and tracked for each year as above.The difference between the LTOB elevation and the thalweg elevation(same as in the BHR calculation)will be recroded and tracked above as LTOB max depth.
LTOB'Max Depth(ft)
LTOB'Cross Sectional Area(ft)
Note:The smaller the channel the closer the survey measurements are to their limit of reliable detection,therefore inter-annual variation in morphological measurement(as a percentage)is by default magnified as channel size decereases.Some of the variability above is the result of this factor and some is due to the large amount of depositional sediments observed.

Biological Assessment Unit,DWQ
Directions for use: The observer is to survey a minimum of 100 meters with 200 meters preferred of stream,preferably in an
upstream direction starting above the bridge pool and the road right-of-way. The segment which is assessed should represent average
stream conditions. To perform a proper habitat evaluation the observer needs to get into the stream.To complete the form,select the
description which best fits the observed habitats and then circle the score. If the observed habitat falls in between two descriptions,
select an intermediate score. A final habitat score is determined by adding the results from the different metrics.

Directions for use: The observer is to survey a minimum of 100 meters with 200 meters preferred of stream,preferably in an
upstream direction starting above the bridge pool and the road right-of-way. The segment which is assessed should represent average
stream conditions. To perform a proper habitat evaluation the observer needs to get into the stream.To complete the form,select the
description which best fits the observed habitats and then circle the score. If the observed habitat falls in between two descriptions,
select an intermediate score.
