Digital Deliverable:
Please review cross section calculations and ensure that all points outside of the main channel
(defined by the low top of bank elevation) are excluded using the omit bankfull boxes.This must be
done before adjusting the bankfull elevation to achieve the MYO cross sectional area. For example,
cross section 11 should have a BHR of less than 1 after the bankfull elevation is adjusted to achieve
the MYO cross sectional area.
Response:All necessary cross sections have been reviewed and updated.
Please include figures displaying the crest gauge and precipitation data.
Response:Crest gauge data is now included.
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).

Monitoring Year 1 Annual Report-Final ii
Section 1: PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Lyon Hills Mitigation Site (Site) is located in Wilkes County, approximately eleven miles northwest of
the Town of Elkin.The Site contains a network of streams that range in drainage area from five acres to
9.58 square miles.These include a portion of Sparks Creek, Hanks Branch (tributary to Sparks Creek),
five unnamed tributaries to Hanks Branch;four of which originate within the project limits, and two
unnamed tributaries to Sparks Creek. Sparks Creek and its tributaries are located within the East Prong
Roaring River 12-digit HUC(030401010600).The site is within a targeted local watershed (TLW) but is
not in a local watershed planning (LWP) area.The HUC is described in the 2009 Upper Yadkin Pee-Dee
River Basin Restoration Priorities (RBRP) document (NC EEP, 2009).
1.1 Project Quantities and Credits
A conservation easement was recorded on 20.72 acres. Mitigation work within the Site included
restoration, enhancement I, and enhancement II of 9,363 linear feet of perennial and intermittent
stream channels.The project is expected to provide 5,304.783 stream credits at closeout.

1.2 Project Goals and Objectives
The project is intended to provide numerous ecological benefits within the Yadkin River Basin. 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.

1.3 Project Attributes
According to the RBRP, agricultural land use, including 30 animal operations, is a major stressor to
aquatic resources in the lower portion of the HUC. 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.

Monitoring Year 1 Annual Report-Final 1-5
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.
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.

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).

'Bank Height Ratio(BHR)takes the As-built bankful area as the basis for adjusting each subsequent years bankfull elevation.
'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 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.

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.

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).
Sincerely,
Jason Lorch, Monitoring Coordinator
