(Wildlands) has reviewed the Division of Mitigation Services(DMS) comments from the Draft Year 1 Monitoring Report for the Honey Mill Mitigation Site that were received on January 31,2022.The report has been updated to reflect those comments.The Final MY1 Report is included. DMS' comments are listed below in bold. Wildlands' responses to DMS' comments are noted in italics. DMS'comment:Add the RFP issuance date to the report cover. Wildlands'response: The RFP issuance date of December 7, 2017, has been added to the report cover. DMS' comment: Please reference the January 3rd approval for the 2.5 acres of proposed replanting in the executive summary. Consider adding an adaptive management section to the report to detail any additional efforts required to assess any concerns specific to this issue beyond routine stem counts.Will supplemental evaluation be conducted to validate the success of the replanted areas of are soil samples being submitted for laboratory analysis? Wildlands'response: The date of approval has been added to the executive summary. As stated in the MY1 report for Honey Mill's Mitigation Site, the 2.5 acres of supplemental planting will be conducted only within in wetland areas and/or areas of the floodplain which are trending much wetter than previously anticipated. The Site's planting list for implementation after construction did not contain a good mix of bareroot species tolerant to wet or saturated soil conditions, especially facultative species with a wetland indicator status of FACW or OBL. The determination for our proactive approach to supplementally plant with species more conducive to wetland and wetland type conditions was to address a planting oversight for the proposed areas, prevent potential stem mortality, and keep vegetation densities and vigor within the floodplain thriving. Therefore, Wildlands used professional judgement to determine the necessary course of action, rather than developing an adaptive management plan for replanting an area under the minimum replanting threshold or conducting laboratory soil analysis. Neither of which would likely provide any additional, necessary information than what was presented in the MY1 report. Wildlands is not planning to provide any supplemental evaluation of the replanting areas. Currently, Wildlands conducts site-wide reviews of the project area, as well as vegetation plot monitoring throughout the open planted areas. With 5 permanent vegetation plots located within the replanted areas and 4 mobile plots that will be relocated throughout the open planted areas within the riparian corridor, the replanted areas will be sufficiently monitored.Additionally, when the NC IRT approved our Wildlands Engineering,Inc. • phone 704-332-7754 • fax 704-332-3306 • 1430 S.Mint Street,#104 • Charlotte,NC 28203 WILDLANDS ENGINEERING proposed species list, there was no mention of needing any additional monitoring nor providing an adaptive management plan. DMS'comment: Please indicate in Section 1.4.2 if any previous invasive treatments were conducted in the areas of concern being treated this dormant season. Are the invasives resprouts, seedlings or areas not previously treated? Wildlands'response: The following sentence has been added to section 1.4.2 for clarification: These areas of invasives are present in the existing forested areas have not been previously treated at this stage of the project. All areas of invasives are scheduled to be treated before the onset of the 2022 growing season. DMS' comment: Please include an outline showing the approximate 2.5-acre replanting areas on the CCPV Figures. Wildlands'response: Figures have been updated to show the wetland supplemental planting area. DMS' comment:Add the date the visual assessments were conducted to the top of each visual assessment table. Wildlands'response: The date has been added to all visual assessment tables. Digital Support File Comments: DMS'comment: Please submit the features that characterize the random vegetation plots in the digital deliverables. Wildlands' response: Digital deliverables have been updated to add the random vegetation plot feature class. DMS' comment:There were several issues noted with the vegetation table and supporting data: 1. Please ensure that the submitted input workbook for the veg tool supports the table included in the report. The differences between the data and report table occur with the random plots.This appears to be caused by blank height values in the submission. Please explain why there are blank height cells for random plots. 2. Be sure to include each year's random plot data in the random plot sheets so that the vegetation performance standards summary table includes these data. 3. Please do not change the color coding of the output-this color coding is based on the 2016 IRT guidance for vegetation performance standards and it is monitoring year specific. 4. Note that in the input template Nyssa Sylvatica and Nyssa sylvatica are both used since the drop- down list was overwritten. Please correct this so that only Nyssa sylvatica is included (e.g., lowercase species name). Wildlands'response: Wildlands has re-entered the random vegetation plot data. The black height values were present to show that the stems were missing rather than confirmed dead. However, the raw data and summary table have been updated to show only the stems that were confirmed present in MY1 with height values. The raw data now matches the performance standards summary table. The color coding has been updated to the IRT guidance and the species have been updated using the dropdown list. As requested, Wildlands has included two (2) hard copies of the final report, a full final .pdf copy of the report with the DMS comment letter and our response letter inserted after the cover page, and a full final electronic submittal of the support files.A copy of the DMS comment letter and our response letter Wildlands Engineering,Inc. • phone 704-332-7754 • fax 704-332-3306 • 1430 S.Mint Street,#104 • Charlotte,NC 28203 ‘14111111.1111" WILDLANDS ENGINEERING have been included inside the front cover of each report's hard copy, as well.

(Wildlands) implemented a full-delivery stream mitigation project at the Honey Mill Mitigation Site (Site)for the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality(DEQ) Division of Mitigation Services (DMS).The project restored and enhanced a total of 8,683 linear feet (LF) of perennial and intermittent stream in Surry County, NC.The Site is located within the Rutledge, Stoney and Flat Shoal Creek—Ararat River targeted local watershed (TWL)and NC Division of Water Resources (DWR) Subbasin 03-07-03.The project is providing 4,793.432 cool stream mitigation units (SMUs)for the Yadkin River Basin Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03040101110020. The Site's immediate drainage area as well as the surrounding watershed has a long history of agricultural activity.The project excludes livestock, creates stable stream banks, converts pasture to forest, and implements BMPs to filter agricultural runoff. These actions address stressors by reducing fecal, nutrient, and sediment inputs to project streams, and ultimately to the Ararat River, and reconnect instream and terrestrial habitats on the Site to upstream and downstream resources. Approximately 20.2-acres of land has been placed under permanent conservation easement to protect the Site in perpetuity.The established project goals include: • Improve stream channel stability, • Treat concentrated agricultural run-off, • Improve in-stream habitat, • Restore and enhance native floodplain and wetland vegetation, • Exclude livestock from streams,and • Permanently protect the project site from harmful uses. The Site's construction and as-built survey were completed between February- May 2021. Planting of the Site and installation of monitoring features occurred in late February 2021. Fencing installation was completed in May 2021. In Monitoring Year 1 (MY1), the Site has met the required stream success criteria.The average planted stem density is 379 stems/acre and is on track to meet the MY3 requirements. Seventy-nine percent of vegetation plots met criteria.The three vegetation plots with low stem densities are located in either wetland areas or areas trending wetter than anticipated; therefore, Wildlands proposed voluntarily replanting these areas within the restored riparian corridor (approximately 2.5 acres) with more wetland tolerant species to the IRT.The supplemental wetland planting was approved by the IRT January 3, 2021 and the correspondence is available in Appendix G. In addition to these areas, Wildlands will supplementally plant approximately 7.0 acres of the established riparian forest as initially outlined in the Site's Mitigation Plan (Wildlands, 2020) and subsequent MVO IRT Comment Response Letter dated 12/7/21. All supplemental planting areas will be conducted in 2022, prior to the onset of the growing season. No bankfull events were documented during MY1.The MY1 visual assessment identified four invasive vegetation areas of concern within the wooded enhancement II reaches.These areas will be treated in MY2.

(Wildlands) implemented a full-delivery stream mitigation project at the Honey Mill Mitigation Site (Site)for the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Division of Mitigation Services (DMS).The project restored and enhanced a total of 8,683 linear feet(LF) of perennial and intermittent stream in Surry County, NC.The Site is located within the Rutledge, Stoney and Flat Shoal Creek—Ararat River targeted local watershed (TWL)and NC Division of Water Resources (DWR) Subbasin 03-07-03. A conservation easement has been recorded and is in place on 20.2 acres.The project is providing 4,793.432 cool stream mitigation units (SMUs)for the Yadkin River Basin Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03040101110020.The Site contains eight unnamed tributaries (UTs)to Venable Creek(UT1, UT2, UT2A, UT2B, UT3, UT4, UT5, and UT6) and the mainstem of Venable Creek, which has been broken into four reaches and flows in a north easterly direction through the site. Multiple riparian wetlands exist on-site, however, no credit is being sought for project wetlands. Please refer to Table 1 and Table 1.1 for project credits by stream and the credit summary table respectively. Annual monitoring will be conducted for seven years with close-out anticipated to commence in 2027 given the success criteria are met.

Stream and wetland functional stressors for the Site were related to both historic and current land use practices. Major stream stressors for the Site pre-restoration included livestock trampling and fecal coliform inputs, lack of stabilizing stream bank and riparian vegetation, active erosion, and incision.The effects of these stressors resulted in channel instability, degraded water quality, and the loss of both aquatic and riparian habitat throughout the Site's watershed when compared to reference conditions. The overall Site topography consists of steep, confined, and moderately confined valleys along the tributaries and flow into a more open and gradually sloped valley along the mainstem of Venable Creek.The project begins at a roadway culvert located at the intersection of Little Mountain Church Road and Venable Creek.The watersheds for UT3, UT4, and UT6 are roughly bound by Venable Farm Road to the west. All of the reach watersheds are encompassed by the Venable Creek watershed,which extends south past Little Mountain Church Road.The Site is typically defined by forested and agricultural land use with sporadic development of rural homes. Pre-construction conditions are outlined in Table 3 below and Table 8 of Appendix C.

Permanent plots VP4 and VP9, with a planted stem density of 202 stems/acre and 243 stems/acre respectively, did not meet the MY3 monitoring requirement. Both plots are located in areas where soil saturation is probably the contributing factor to the high mortality in the plots. VP4 is located in an existing wetland. VP9 was established in the floodplain of Venable Creek Reach 4 and its confluence with UT6, however,the implementation of priority I restoration along UT6 likely raised the water and resulted in wetter than expected floodplain conditions. The overall MVO planted density for mobile vegetation plots ranged from 81 stems/acre to 607 stems/acre. The mobile vegetation plot(MVP) 1, with a low planted stem density of 81 stems/acre, was also located just outside of an existing wetland.This area is also trending wetter than anticipated, and wetland vegetation was outcompeting the planted stems in this area of the floodplain. All other mobile vegetation plots were on track meet the MY3 planted stem density requirements. Summary data are located in Appendix B and photographs of each plot are located in Appendix A. Honey Mill Mitigation Site Monitoring Year 1 Annual Report—FINAL 1-6 1.4.2 Vegetation Areas of Concern and Management Activity Invasive Species There were four areas of established wooded areas with understory invasive species within the project area.These occupied less than 2%of the easement and are located within the mature forests along UT2 and at its confluence with UT2A, UT3, and UT6, as shown on Figures la - ld. On UT3 and UT6, invasives consist of a low density of individual, mature stems of Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) mixed within the existing wooded areas.The areas on UT2, UT2A, and UT6 consist of a diffuse number of individual stems of multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora),Japanese barberry(Berberis thunbergii), and Chinese privet throughout the mapped polygons, at a low density.These areas of invasives are present in the existing forested areas have not been previously treated at this stage of the project. All areas of invasives are scheduled to be treated before the onset of the 2022 growing season. See Table 5 in Appendix A. Mapped Encroachment Areas per IRT Request There are three areas of easement encroachment that were identified at baseline conditions.These areas are included on the Current Condition Plan View(CCPV) maps per the request of the IRT in the MVO comments dated 12/7/21 in Appendix G.Two of the areas are located at the culvert crossing on UT2 and consist of the pipe extending into the easement upstream and downstream of the crossing.The other mapped encroachment area is a 10-foot-wide farm path that extends into the left floodplain boundary of the easement.Though all of the encroachments were documented and discussed during baseline conditions, the IRT has requested that they remain on the CCPV maps throughout the seven- year monitoring period. Wetland Supplemental Planting During the MY1 vegetation plot survey and visual assessment of the Site, Wildlands noted multiple areas within existing wetlands and areas the restored floodplain that are trending wetter than anticipated. While these areas are not currently areas of concern with either low stem density or poor vigor, Wildlands plans to supplementally plant with species more conducive to wetland and wetland type conditions. Wildlands is hoping that this early proactive action will offset areas of non- wetland species mortality, allow woody wetland species to become established early in the monitoring period, and keep vegetation densities and vigor within the floodplain thriving. Additionally, this will address low stem densities in permanent and mobile vegetation plots identified in MY1 and as previously discussed in Section 1.4.1. As mapped on Figure 2.0 in Appendix F, the total area to be planted will consist of approximately 2.5 acres and include a mixture of six bareroot and three live stake species occupying approximately 12%of the easement area. Species and their quantities are shown in Table 14.Though a wetland planting list was not specifically included in the approved Honey Mill Mitigation Plan (Wildlands, 2020), six of the nine species were included as part of the riparian and stream bank planting plans with only three of the wetland species were not originally included. The additional species are Elderberry(Sambucus canadensis), Button bush (Cephalanthus occidentalis), and Tag Alder (Alnus serrulata). On December 12, 2021, Wildlands requested approval for these additional species in an email to the IRT.The species were approved in a reply email on January 3, 2022. Please see Appendix F for the full list of the proposed species and approval correspondence. Shaded Supplemental Planting per IRT Request During construction, several pockets of non-forested areas within the wooded buffer were identified throughout the Site but were limited to the enhancement reaches of UT3, UT4, and UT6 that were cleared as part of construction, rather than planting the open areas throughout Site's wooded buffer as Honey Mill Mitigation Site vloo Monitoring Year 1 Annual Report—FINAL 1-7 outlined in the Mitigation Plan (Wildlands, 2020).Though this was a modification, Wildlands took the approach of redistributing the same quantity of bare roots but at the higher density(12' vs. 25'). Since this modification was not approved, the IRT, as outlined in their comments for the MYO report (2021), is requiring Wildlands to implement the original agreed upon planting plan or the credit ratios would be adjusted prior to the next credit release.Therefore, Wildlands will plant the remainder of the shaded buffer from the approved mitigation plan prior to the onset of the 2022 growing season.This will consist of approximately 7 acres and will include species from previously approved planting lists.The only substitution will be Slippery Elm (Ulmus rubra)for Tulip Poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera). See Appendix F for the planting list and densities, as well as the locations of the supplemental planting areas on the enhancement reaches demarcated in a red hatch. 1.4.3 Stream Assessment Riffle cross-sections (XS) on the restoration reaches should be stable and show little change in bankfull area, maximum depth ratio, and width-to-depth ratio. All riffle cross-sections should fall within the parameters defined for the designated stream type. If any changes do occur, these changes will be evaluated to assess whether the stream channel is showing signs of instability. Indicators of instability include a vertically incising thalweg and/or eroding channel banks. Morphological surveys for MY1 were conducted in December 2021. Cross-section survey results indicate that channel dimensions are stable and functioning as designed on all restoration reaches with minimal adjustments from MYO to MY1. Minor changes occurring within riffles XS8 and XS11 include slight decreases in cross-sectional areas, mean depths, and decreased bank height ratios.These minor changes can be attributed to the establishment of herbaceous vegetation along the tops of banks, slight bed deposition, and the channel naturally narrowing through natural adjustments. Pebble counts were conducted in March of 2021 during the MYO data collection and were included in the as-built report (Wildlands, 2021). However, based on a DMS Technical Workgroup memo from 10/19/21 and concurrence received on 11/18/2021 from the DMS project manager for Honey Mill, pebble count collection is no longer required for the project from MY1—MY7.Therefore, pebble counts will not be conducted during the remaining monitoring years unless requested by the IRT or deemed necessary based on best professional judgement. A copy of the DMS Technical Workgroup Memo and the email confirmation from the DMS project manager (Personal communication, Phillips 2021) are located in Appendix G. 1.4.4 Stream Hydrology Assessment An automated pressure transducer was installed on Venable Creek Reach 3 to document bankfull events throughout the seven-year monitoring period. Henceforth, this device is referred to as a "crest gage (CG)."At the end of the seven-year monitoring period,four or more bankfull flow events must have occurred in separate years. There were no recorded bankfull events during the first year of monitoring.The 30th and 70th percentile data were collected from the Mount Airy 2 W, WETS station for years 1971-2020.The Site received an annual precipitation of 35.67 inches which was an average amount of precipitation for this area. However, the precipitation totals were only 20%greater than the 30th percentile of 32.45 inches. In years with higher precipitation bankfull events are likely to occur. Please refer to Appendix D for hydrology summary data and gage plots. Honey Mill Mitigation Site vloo Monitoring Year 1 Annual Report—FINAL 1-8 1.4.5 Stream Areas of Concern and Management Activity There were no stream areas of concern mapped during the final MY1 visual assessment on 12/7/21.The streams appear stable and functioning with vegetation developing on the channel banks, and no areas of scour or erosion were noted.The visual assessment tables are located in Appendix A. 1.5 Monitoring Year 2 Summary Overall,the Site has met the required stream success criteria for MY1.The average planted stem density is 379 stems/acre, and the Site is on track to meet the MY3 requirement of 320 stems per acre. VP4, VP9, and MVP1 were all located in wetland areas within the floodplain and are individually not meeting stem density requirements. Wildlands recognizes that the approved mitigation plan planting list had many upland species; however, there are areas within the restored riparian corridor trending wetter than originally anticipated.Therefore, Wildlands is voluntary adding supplemental wetland species in these areas for a total of 2.5 acres. Wetland supplemental planting will be conducted before the onset of the 2022 growing season. Per the MVO IRT Comment Response Letter dated 12/7/21, Wildlands will also plant the remainder of the shaded buffer from the approved mitigation plan, as described in Section 1.4.2.All supplemental plantings areas will be implemented prior to the onset of the 2022 growing season. Geomorphic surveys indicate that cross-section bankfull dimensions closely match the baseline monitoring with some minor adjustments, and streams are functioning as intended. No bankfull events were documented during MY1.The MY1 visual assessment identified a few invasive vegetation areas of concern in wooded enhancement II reaches, but no stream areas of concern were documented. Invasives are also scheduled to be treated before the onset of the 2022 growing season. Wildlands will continue to monitor these areas and adaptive management measures will be implemented as necessary to benefit the ecological health of the Site. Honey Mill Mitigation Site vloo Monitoring Year 1 Annual Report—FINAL 1-9 Section 2: METHODOLOGY 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. Stream gages were installed in riffles and monitored quarterly. Hydrologic monitoring instrument installation and monitoring methods are in accordance with the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE, 2003) standards. Vegetation monitoring protocols followed the Carolina Vegetation Survey-EEP Level 2 Protocol (Lee et al., 2008); however, vegetation data processing follows the NCDMS Vegetation Data Entry Tool and Vegetation Plot Data Table (NCDMS, 2020).

Correspondence ‘111117V1111V WILDLANDS F N C I N F F R I N C December 7, 2021 Ms. Kim Browning Mitigation Project Manager United States Army Corps of Engineers 69 Darlington Avenue Wilmington, NC 28403-1343 Subject: Monitoring Year 0 Report Comments Honey Mill Mitigation Site, Surry County Yadkin River Basin HUC 03040101 DMS Project ID#100083 USACE#SAW-2018-01789 Dear Ms. Browning: Thank you for your October 29, 2021 comment email for the Honey Mill Mitigation Site Monitoring Year 0 report. We will make the necessary revisions to the documents and take action at the site as described in our responses below. All revisions have been incorporated into the MY1 report. USACE Comments, Kim Browning: 1. USACE concurs with DWR's comments, particularly#3. The Mitigation Goals and Objectives in the final mitigation plan state that existing forested riparian buffers will be enhanced and protected. The project implementation portion of the final mit plan states that along each restoration and enhancement reach, cattle will be excluded, and open areas of the buffer will be planted. Removing supplemental planting is a modification to what was agreed upon and changes the overall functional return. The IRT requires that the originally agreed upon planting plan be implemented or credit ratios on UT2, UT2A and UT5 will be adjusted prior to the next credit release. WILDLANDS RESPONSE: During construction, several pockets of non-forested areas within the wooded buffer were identified. Wildlands took the approach of redistributing the bare roots to focus on these areas using denser spacing (12' vs. 25').The total number of bare roots planted matched the quantity in the mitigation plan. While we understand that this is a modification to the approved mitigation plan, the approach we took addressed several open areas within the established wooded buffer. Wildlands will plant all areas initially identified in the IRT approved mitigation plan during the upcoming 2021/2022 dormant season. 2. The legend on Figure 3 shows the same symbols for permanent and mobile veg plots. WILDLANDS RESPONSE:The legend on Figure 3 will be revised to differentiate the types of veg plots. 3. The 10-ft farm path should be shown on the figures in future monitoring reports. WILDLANDS RESPONSE:The farm path will be shown on all future monitoring reports. 4. Do the allowable activities in the easement exceptions allow for maintenance of the farm path? The IRT would have preferred for the farm path to be excluded from the easement. Wildlands Engineering,Inc. • phone 704-332-7754 • fax 704-332-3306 • 1430 S.Mint Street,#104 • Charlotte,NC 28203 WILDLANDS RESPONSE:: While we understand that ideally the path should be outside the easement, Wildlands agreed with DMS in this instance to leave the path in the easement as an exception.The easement exemptions do allow for maintenance of the farm path.The landowner is aware of the limits of the path within the easement. The farm path located inside the conservation easement and the crossing that extends outside of the internal crossing cutout were reviewed by DMS, NC DEQ Stewardship and NC SPO. Both areas were added to the DEQ Stewardship GIS infrastructure geodatabase and were documented in the DEQ Stewardship project file.The landowner will be able to maintain the crossing and farm path as constructed. The landowner should notify DEQ Stewardship prior to conducting maintenance work inside the conservation easement. NCDWR Comments, Erin Davis: 1. Section 1.3.2 (UT5)— The narrative states that pre-construction the downstream channel's flow disconnected from the original stream alignment and during construction the disconnected portion of channel was abandoned and backfilled and the flow was reconnected with its natural flow path. Why was this not shown as a deviation on the Sheet 1.33 redline? WILDLANDS RESPONSE: Wildlands realizes the description of UT5 in section 1.3.2 is misleading and will revise it for clarity. 2. Section 5.1.6—Please elaborate on the data point based alignment change for the upstream portion of UT5(Enhancement II reach). WILDLANDS RESPONSE:The alignment along the upstream portion of UT5 wasn't actually changed. It is in the original location as mapped on the preliminary jurisdictional delineation (pJD). The alignment shown in design plans was incorrect, but unfortunately this discrepancy wasn't caught until the record drawings were being created. At the time, Wildlands redrew the alignment based on the pJD and decided to show it as a red line because it deviated from the design plans. 3. Section 5.1.7—The statement, "Some areas of supplemental planting were removed at the engineer's discretion'; is not a valid justification for altering the planting plan that was submitted and approved in the Final Mitigation Plan. It appears that no supplemental planting was completed in the riparian buffers along UT2, UT2A, UT5. Additionally, only half of the riparian buffers along UT3, UT4, UT6 and sections of Venable Creek were supplemental planted. Based on the redline drawings this appears to be a substantial modification to the approved Plan. Please provide a percent area of the Shaded Supplemental Planting Zone that was not planted. DWR is recommending that supplemental plantings in these areas be implemented in accordance with the approved Plan during the next dormant season or adjustments to credit ratios be considered. WILDLANDS RESPONSE: Please refer to USACE comment 1 response. 4. Section 5.1.8—For the section of fence line removal, what was the adjacent land use changed to? WILDLANDS RESPONSE: Cattle were removed from that parcel and land use is now open agricultural field.The fence was not installed so that the landowner could timber outside the easement.The landowner understands that if cattle are reintroduced in the future,fence must be installed. Honey Mill Mitigation Site,Surry County Page 2 of 4 MYO IRT Comment Response 5. Section 5.2.2—Are there any long term management concerns with having the culvert extend beyond the internal crossing?Will it require additional coordination with Stewardship on any pipe maintenance/replacement? WILDLANDS RESPONSE: A letter was mailed to the landowner explaining the allowable limits of culvert maintenance. The farm path located inside the conservation easement and the crossing that extends outside of the internal crossing cutout were reviewed by DMS, NC DEQ Stewardship and NC SPO. Both areas were added to the DEQ Stewardship GIS infrastructure geodatabase and were documented in the DEQ Stewardship project file. The landowner will be able to maintain the crossing and farm path as constructed. The landowner should notify DEQ Stewardship prior to conducting maintenance work inside the conservation easement. 6. Sheet 1.8—Please confirm that the pre-construction profile as shown resulted in no changes with ford crossing installation. WILDLANDS RESPONSE: Wildlands was on-site during construction and ensured that the ford was installed at grade. 7. Table 9—It's very nice to see a good species diversity across all of the veg plots. WILDLANDS RESPONSE: Noted. USEPA Comments,Todd Bowers: 1. 1 noted all(very few)redline changes in the plan diagrams and concur with all changes. My only comment is that structures update in red for the plan views should also appear in the stream profile to help illustrate differences in the planned or designed grade and the actual grade of either the thalweg or banks. WILDLANDS RESPONSE: Wildlands does not normally show structure invert elevations or structure type deviations on the record drawing profile. We do show significant changes in the profile as red in the record drawings. Since the structures were installed within acceptable tolerances, no elevation deviations were shown on the profile. 2. Figures 3.3, 3.4 and Sheet 1.5: What happened to the fence that seems to end around UT2B and begins again around the top of UT5?It appears open ended but is this suitable even with the change in land use(livestock removal)of the adjacent(former)pasture? WILDLANDS RESPONSE: Please refer to NCDWR comment 4 response. 3. Very pleased to see additional land fenced off on the north side of Venable Creek to provide more buffer between the pasture and the riparian zone within the conservation easement. WILDLANDS RESPONSE: Noted. 4. Encroachment of CE due to requested landowner access road noted with no corrective action needed. WILDLANDS RESPONSE: Noted. 5. Planting followed the plan very closely with just a few minor substitutions;all appear suitable and maintains a diverse mix of species and habits. WILDLANDS RESPONSE: Noted. 6. UT2B does not appear on the Planting Plan sheets 2.2 and 2.5. WILDLANDS RESPONSE: See response to USACE comment 1 above.

Agreement was reached between all attending parties that pebble count data will not be required during the monitoring period for all future projects. Sediment data and particle distribution will still be required for the mitigation plan as part of the proposed design explanation and justification. Pebble counts and/or particle distributions currently being conducted by providers for annual monitoring may be discontinued at the discretion of the DMS project manager. If particle distribution was listed as a performance standard in the project mitigation plan,the provider is required to communicate the intent to cease data collection with the DMS project manager. The absence of pebble count data in future monitoring reports where pebble count data was listed as part of monitoring in the mitigation plan must be documented in the monitoring report. The September 29, 2021 Technical Work Group meeting may be cited as the source of the new policy. The IRT reserves the right to request pebble count data/particle distributions if deemed necessary during the monitoring period.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you verify.Send all suspicious email as an attachment to Report Spam. Kelly, Jason Lorch in our Raleigh Office forwarded this meeting memo to me. It says that conducting pebble counts for DMS monitoring (MYO—MY7) projects is no longer needed as long as it has been okayed by the DMS PM. Moving forward, are you going to allow us to stop doing them on your projects? Please let me know. Thank you!
