While benefits such as habitat improvement and geomorphic stability are limited to the Site, reduced nutrient and sediment loading have farther reaching effects.Table 2 below describes expected outcomes to water quality and ecological processes associated with the project goals and objectives.These goals were established and completed with careful consideration of goals and objectives described in the RBRP and to meet the DMS mitigation needs while maximizing the ecological and water quality uplift within the watershed.

Degraded riparian buffers are also noted as a significant stressor. Stressors described for the 8-digit CU include erosion and sedimentation (including erosion from pasture lands), which lead to aquatic habitat degradation.Turbidity and fecal coliform bacteria violations have been documented across the CU.The Site is located in DWR Subbasin 03-07-01. The 2008 Yadkin Pee-Dee River Basinwide Water Quality Plan (NC DWR, 2008) indicates that fecal coliform concentrations often exceeded the maximum regulatory limit in the CU which creates a potential health risk.The plan also notes major stressors in the Yadkin River Basin include excessive sedimentation and changes in hydrology and geomorphology due to urban development and agriculture.Agriculture was identified in the plan as the most significant stressor leading to water quality degradation in the Yadkin River basin.

Performance criteria for vegetation, stream, and hydrologic assessment are located in Section 1.2 Table 3: Goals, Performance Criteria, and Functional Improvements. 2.1 Vegetative Assessment The MY1 vegetative survey was completed in September 2021. Vegetation monitoring resulted in a stem density range of 324 to 607 planted stems per acre which is well above the interim requirement of 320 stems per acre required at MY1.Average stem density was 499 planted stems per acre. All 9 vegetation plots exceeded the interim success criterion and are on track to meet the final success criterion required for MY7.Along with a successful tree planting,the herbaceous vegetation is dense 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 No vegetation areas of concern were identified during MY1. ',3 Stream Assessmer, Morphological surveys for MY1 were conducted in September 2021. All streams within the Site are stable and functioning as designed. All 11 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. Refer to Appendix A for the Visual Stream Morphology Stability Assessment Table and Stream Photographs. Refer to Appendix C for Stream Geomorphology Data. stream Areas of Concern Dense in-stream vegetation was observed along UT5 Reach 2 and sporadically found along UT4 Reach 1 and 3 (Figure 1c). Before vegetation was established on the banks, excess sediment washed into the channel from the surrounding areas after the pond was removed, causing aggradation along UT5 Reach 2.The in-stream vegetation continued to trap the sediment, preventing sediment from naturally moving through the system. Once the in-stream vegetation is treated in 2022, it is expected the sediment will flush through UT5. Dense vegetation has become established on the floodplain where the pond was removed, preventing further sediment from entering the stream. See Section 2.6 for further information on treating the in-stream vegetation. Out of the six internal easement breaks, one culvert crossing became perched (Appendix 2 Culvert Crossing Photographs) after a major storm event in MYO.The culvert crossing along Hanks Branch was installed on bedrock, and material below the downstream invert washed away during the storm, thus creating a perched but stable culvert.Wildlands will continue to assess the situation to determine if there is a potential solution on fixing the perched culvert. 2.p Hydrology Assessment Bankfull events were recorded on Hanks Branch Reach 3, UT3 Reach 3, UT4 Reach 3, and UT5 Reach 2. The crest gauge on UT1 malfunctioned so no data was obtained, however, it has been fixed and is Lyon Hills Mitigation Site Monitoring Year 1 Annual Report-Final 2-1 operational. 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 restored intermittent reaches (UT4 Reach 1)for a minimum of 30 consecutive days during a normal precipitation year. In-stream flow gauges equipped with pressure transducers were installed to monitor continuity of baseflow. UT4 Reach 1 maintained baseflow for 259 consecutive days. Refer to Appendix 5 for hydrologic data. L6 Adaptive Management Plan As discussed in Section 2.4, in-stream vegetation will be treated along UT5 Reach 2, and UT4 Reach 1 and 3. A chemical and manual treatment will occur in the spring of 2022. Follow up treatments will be conducted as necessary. It is expected the excess sediment along UT5 Reach 2 will naturally move downstream once the in-stream vegetation has been treated. After further review, adding in a log sill directly downstream of the perched culvert along Hanks Branch did not appear feasible due to existing bedrock along the channel. Also, adding more material to the downstream invert will likely not solve the issue because the new material would likely wash away with the next major storm event. Wildlands will continue to reassess the culvert and try to determine a way to fix the issue. Z.7 Monitoring Year 1 Summary All vegetation plots are on track to exceed the MY3 interim requirement of 320 planted stems per acre, and all streams within the Site are stable and meeting project goals. In-stream vegetation was noted in UT5 Reach2, and UT4 Reach 1 and 3, and will be treated in the spring of 2022. Bankfull events were documented on all stream reaches, except for UT1 which had a gauge malfunction. Greater than 30 days of consecutive flow was recorded on the intermittent section of UT4 Reach 1 fulfilling MY1 success requirement. 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 criterion. 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. Lyon Hills Mitigation Site Monitoring Year 1 Annual Report-Final 2-2 Section 3: METHODOLOGY Geomorphic data was collected following the standards outlined in The Stream Channel Reference Site: An Illustrated Guide to Field Techniques (Harrelson et al., 1994) and in 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. Crest gauges and pressure transducers were installed in riffle cross-sections and monitored throughout the year. Hydrologic monitoring instrument installation and monitoring methods are in accordance with the United States Army Corps of Engineers standards (USACE, 2003). Vegetation monitoring protocols followed the Wilmington District Stream and Wetland Compensatory Mitigation Update (NCIRT, 2016).

Additional Documentation November 23, 2021 Ms. Kimberly Browning Wilmington District, Regulatory Division U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 11405 Falls of Neuse Road Wake Forest, NC 27587 Subject: IRT Comments on Lyon Hills Mitigation Site As-Built Monitoring Report (MVO) and Record Drawings Yadkin River Basin—CU#03040101, Wilkes County DMS Project ID No. 100085, Contract No. 7620 Dear Ms. Browning, On October 13, 2021, Wildlands Engineering received comments from the North Carolina Interagency Review Team (NCIRT) regarding the As-Built Baseline Report dated July 28, 2021. The following letter documents NCIRT feedback and Wildlands' corresponding responses. USACE Comments, Casey Haywood: Section 2.2 : "Vegetative performance for riparian buffers associated with the stream restoration component of the project(buffer widths 0—30ft)will be in accordance with the Stream Mitigation Guidelines" Should this be 0-50ft?The mitigation plan indicates that all buffers on the project meet the minimum 50-foot requirement. Please adjust in future reports. Response:Lyon Hills is located in Wilkes County which is a mountain county. The buffer width for mountain counties is 0-30ft. This was a mistake in the Mitigation Plan. Culvert photos: UT1 looking upstream appears to have a significant amount of rock in the channel. Is Wildlands concerned with how the rock is placed in the channel and in front of the culvert?Was this meant to be a constructed riffle with embedded material? Response: Wildlands is not concerned with rock placement in the channel and in front of the culvert. This was not meant to be a constructed riffle;however we do anticipate riffle material transporting through the system at higher flow events. USEPA Comments,Todd Bowers: I have performed a cursory review of the As-Built/MY0 Report for the Lyon Hills mitigation site dated September 2021. At this time I have no site-specific comments for corrective action at the Lyon Hills site. I have noted the discrepancies noted in the report namely the perched culvert at the Hanks Branch crossing and the three areas of fencing that required adjustment and Wildland's actions to repair and monitor these areas appears sufficient. I concur with the proposed plan to monitor the crossing at Sparks Creek that currently is without fencing due to the desire to avoid frequent repairs. Wildlands Engineering,Inc. (P)919.851.9986 • 312 West Millbrook Road,Suite 225 • Raleigh,NC 27609 NCDWR Comments, Erin Davis: DWR appreciates the level of detail provided in the Section 5 narrative and the redline drawings. Also, thank you for including culvert crossing photos. Response: Thank you. There were multiple additional rock outlets installed.Were other non-hardening options considered? Were live stakes or herbaceous plugs planted within outlet areas?What stone size was used?As discussed at the WEI's Key Mill site, large stone created voids can become wildlife traps. Response:A/B stone was used for the outlets. With the large amount of concentrated flow that was occurring, Wildlands was unsure if proper vegetation would be able to establish fast enough to prevent rills and headcuts. Future sediment will cover the rocks and native vegetation will become established to avoid wildlife traps. Looking at the photos, DWR was glad to see coir logs were utilized as a temporary sediment and erosion control measure in steep slope areas. Response: Thank you. In photo point 9 upstream, is that a monitoring device behind the tree? Response: This was a drum barrel leftover from the landowner. Wildlands plans to remove it within the year. With the additional rock outlet installations and new sections of stream realignments, please confirm that you did not go over the project's 401 approved wetland impact total. Response: The stream realignments did not impact any additional wetlands beyond the permitted wetland impacts, however the additional rock outlet on Hanks Branch Reach 1 did impact part of a wetland by an extra 0.0088 acres(384 sq.ft.). This rock outlet was installed to prevent future bank erosion along Hanks Branch Reach 1. Since cattle have been removed from wetlands along the project streams and wetlands have been replanted, it is believed that the wetlands on site are higher quality than before construction and provide improved wetland functions. Thank you for your review and providing comments on this submittal. If you have any further questions, please contact me at (919) 851-9986, or by email (jlorch@wildlandseng.com).
