RE: Compass Point Year 2 Monitoring Report (SAW-2017-01465 | RES Yadkin 01 Umbrella Mitigation
Bank)

Mr. Kichefski,

Please find attached the Compass Point MY2 Monitoring Report. In Year 2, 10 of 11 vegetation plots met
the 320 stems per acre success criteria. Stem densities ranged from 283 to 1,012. Multiple bankfull events
were recorded in 2020, 2021, and 2022 on the stage recorder on DW1-B. The flow gauge on DW1-A
recorded consecutive flow from January 2022 to August 2022. Comments from the MY1 Monitoring Report
are addressed below.
1. Please list species installed as part of supplemental planting efforts. This was done for Twiman, but
not Scout or Compass Point. 1. What species were planted in the January 2021 supplemental
planting? Thank you for including areas that were supplementally planted on the CCPV.
During the January 2021 supplemental planting, RES planted Willow Oak, Water Oak, Sycamore,
and River Birch. In total, 244 trees were planted, totaling about 400 stems/acre.

2. All three projects had some veg plots with only 2 or 3 species present. Since this is only MY1, please
consider species diversity when potentially supplemental planting in these areas.
RES will consider this lack of diversity when doing any more supplemental plantings and will avoid
planting more of the same species within plots that have these issues.

3. Cross-Section 11 MY1 data was not included in Appendix D. Please update in MY2 report.
Cross-Section 11 MY1 data was added to Appendix D of the MY2 report.

4. Continue to monitor and report about the channel incision shown in Cross-Section 12 and 13. Were
any other signs of channel or structure instability present?
No further degradation was seen between MY1 and MY2 at Cross-Sections 12 and 13. No other
signs of channel or structure instability were seen during data collection. RES will continue to
monitor and report any future channel incisions.

5. Continue to update the IRT regarding efforts to remove black walnut stems from the site
throughout monitoring.
RES will continue to monitor and update the IRT regarding efforts to remove black walnuts from
the site during monitoring.

2

6. Continue to monitor and report the conditions, particularly the presence/depth of substrate with
the culverts and the culvert stability.
RES will continue to monitor and report conditions in and around the culverts, particularly the
presence/depth of substrate with the culverts and culvert stability.

RES is requesting a 10% stream credit release (415.500 SMUs) for the completion of the MY2 report. Please
see the enclosed credit release timeline and an updated credit ledger.

Thank you,

Compass Point 2 Year 2 Monitoring Report
Mitigation Site August 2022
1.0 Project Summary

1.1 Project Location and Description

The Compass Point Mitigation Site (“the Project”) is located in Yadkin County, approximately 4.5 miles
northeast of Boonville. Water quality stressors that affected the Project included livestock production,
agricultural production, and lack of riparian buffer. The Project presents 5,289 linear feet (LF) of stream
restoration and enhancement generating 4,155 Cool Stream Mitigation Units (SMU) along three unnamed
tributaries that drain directly to the Yadkin River.

The Project is located in the Yadkin River Basin within Cataloging Unit 03040101, Target Local Watershed
030401011001, and NCDWR sub-basin 03-07-02. The current State classification for the Yadkin River at
this location is Class C (NCDWR 2011).

The Project’s total easement area is approximately 16.46 acres within the overall drainage area of 271 acres
and consisted of cattle pastures and wooded areas. Grazing livestock historically had access to most stream
reaches within the Project. The lack of riparian buffer vegetation, deep-rooted vegetation, and unstable
channel characteristics had contributed to the degradation of stream banks throughout the Project area.

The stream design approach for the Project combined the analog method of natural channel design with
analytical methods to evaluate stream flows and hydraulic performance of the channel and floodplain. The
analog method involved the use of a reference reach, or “template” stream, adjacent to, nearby, or
previously in the same location as the design reach. The template parameters of the analog reach were
replicated to create the features of the design reach. The analog approach is useful when watershed and
boundary conditions are similar between the design and analog reaches (Skidmore et al., 2001). Hydraulic
geometry was developed using analytical methods to identify the design discharge.

The Project will be monitored on a regular basis throughout the seven-year post-construction monitoring
period, or until performance standards are met. Upon approval for closeout by the Interagency Review
Team (IRT), the site will be transferred to Unique Places to Save (UP2S). This party shall serve as
conservation easement holder and long-term steward for the property and will conduct periodic inspection
of the site to ensure that restrictions required in the conservation easement are upheld. Endowment funds
required to uphold easement and deed restrictions will be finalized prior to site transfer to the responsible
party.

1.2 Project Goals and Objectives

Through the comprehensive analysis of the Project’s maximum functional uplift using the Stream Functions
Pyramid Framework, specific, attainable goals and objectives will be realized by the Project. These goals
clearly address the degraded water quality and nutrient input from farming that were identified as major
watershed stressors in the 2009 Upper Yadkin Pee-Dee River RBRP.

The Project goals are:
• Improve water transport from watershed to the channel in a non-erosive manner in a stable channel;
• Improve flood flow attenuation on site and downstream by allowing for overbank flows and
connection to the active floodplain;
• Improve instream habitat;
• Restore and enhance native floodplain vegetation; and
• Indirectly support the goals of the 2009 Upper Yadkin Pee-Dee RBRP to improve water quality
and to reduce sediment and nutrient loads.

Compass Point 3 Year 2 Monitoring Report
Mitigation Site August 2022
The Project objectives to address the goals are:
• Designed and reconstructed stream channels sized to convey bankfull flows that will maintain a
stable dimension, profile, and planform based on modeling, watershed conditions, and reference
reach conditions;
• Added in-stream structures and bank stabilization measures to protect restored and enhanced
streams;
• Installed habitat features such as brush toes, constructed riffles, woody materials, and pools of
varying depths to restored and enhanced streams;
• Reduced bank height ratios and increased entrenchment ratios to reference reach conditions;
• Increased forested riparian buffers to at least 50 feet on both sides of the channel along the Project
reaches with a hardwood riparian plant community;
• Treated exotic invasive species; and
• Established a permanent conservation easement on the Project that excludes livestock from stream
channels and their associated buffers.

Limitations to achieving these watershed goals arise by remaining constrained to the project boundaries.
While we are restoring the habitat and streams to stable and effective conditions that achieve our goals
within the Project parcels, we are unable to influence the effect of all riparian buffers and livestock impact
in other areas within the watershed. However, with responsible restoration and stewardship of the majority
of reaches within this small watershed, overall watershed functionality and health will improve to meet the
RBRP goals.

1.3 Project Success Criteria

The Project follows the USACE 2003 Stream Mitigation Guidelines, and the “Wilmington District Stream
and Wetland Compensatory Mitigation Update” dated October 24, 2016. Cross section and vegetation plot
data will be collected in Years 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7. Hydrology data and visual monitoring will be reported
annually.

Stream Success Criteria

Four bankfull flow events must be documented within the seven-year monitoring period. The bankfull
events must occur in separate years. Otherwise, the stream monitoring will continue until four bankfull
events have been documented in separate years.

There should be little change in as-built cross sections. If changes do take place, they should be evaluated
to determine if they represent a movement toward a less stable condition (for example down-cutting or
erosion) or are minor changes that represent an increase in stability (for example settling, vegetative
changes, deposition along the banks, or decrease in width/depth ratio). Cross sections shall be classified
using the Rosgen stream classification method, and all monitored cross sections should fall within the
quantitative parameters defined for channels of the design stream type. Bank height ratio shall not exceed
1.2, and the entrenchment ratio shall be no less than 1.4 within restored reaches. The entrenchment ratio
shall be no less than 2.2 for all measured riffle cross-sections on a given reach. Channel stability should be
demonstrated through a minimum of four bankfull events documented in the seven-year monitoring period.

Digital images are used to subjectively evaluate channel aggradation or degradation, bank erosion, success
of riparian vegetation, and effectiveness of erosion control measures. Longitudinal images should not
indicate the absence of developing bars within the channel or an excessive increase in channel depth. Lateral
images should not indicate excessive erosion or continuing degradation of the banks over time. A series of

Compass Point 4 Year 2 Monitoring Report
Mitigation Site August 2022
images over time should indicate successional maturation of riparian vegetation.

Vegetation Success Criteria

Specific and measurable success criteria for plant density within the riparian buffers on the Project follow
IRT Guidance. Vegetation monitoring plots are a minimum of 0.02 acres in size and cover a minimum of
two percent of the planted area. The interim measures of vegetative success for the Project are the survival
of at least 320 planted three-year old trees per acre at the end of Year 3, at least 260 planted five-year old
trees at seven feet in height at the end of Year 5, and the final vegetative success criteria is at least 210
trees per acre with an average height of ten feet at the end of Year 7. Volunteer trees are counted, identified
to species, and included in the yearly monitoring reports, but did not count towards the success criteria of
total planted stems. Moreover, any single species can only account for up to 50 percent of the required
number of stems within any vegetation plot. Any stems in excess of 50 percent are shown in the monitoring
table but were not used to demonstrate success.

1.4 Project Components

The Project area is comprised of a single easement location along three unnamed tributaries to the Yadkin
River, totaling 5,289 linear feet. There are eight stream reaches, DW1-A, DW1-B, DW1-C, DW1-D, DW1-
E, DW2-A, DW2-B, and DW3, divided by treatment type. The Project is accessible from Pulliam Road.
The stream mitigation components are summarized below. The one minor change from the Mitigation Plan
credits was a result of an easement area decrease (0.04 acres) at the top of DW1-A. The easement was offset
30 feet from the parcel line, however, during the original survey an incorrect parcel line was used. This
error was corrected in the recorded easement but was never updated in the design files. Therefore, the length
of DW1-A is now 15 linear feet (6 SMU) shorter in As-Built than what was shown in the Mitigation Plan,
causing a reduction in total credits from 4,161 SMUs to 4,155 SMUs. More details about project stream
lengths and credits are provided in Appendix A.

1.5 Stream Design/Approach

Stream restoration efforts along the tributaries of the Project were accomplished through analyses of
geomorphic conditions and watershed characteristics. The design approach applied a combination of
analytical and reference reach-based design methods that meet objectives commensurate with both
ecological and geomorphic improvements. Treatment activities ranged from minor bank grading and
planting to re-establishing stable planform and hydraulic geometry. For full restoration reaches, natural
design concepts were applied and verified through rigorous engineering analyses and modeling. The
objective of this approach was to design a geomorphically stable channel that provides habitat
improvements and ties into the existing landscape. Specifically, treatments included Priority I and II stream
restoration, Enhancement II, and Enhancement III.

The Project has been broken into the following reaches:

Reach DW1-A - This reach begins on the southwest end of the Project, flows northeast to a confluence
with DW1-B and DW2-B, and totals 247 linear feet of Enhancement II. Open pasture was located adjacent

Compass Point 5 Year 2 Monitoring Report
Mitigation Site August 2022
to the reach. Enhancement activities included improving habitat through livestock exclusion fencing and
riparian planting. The livestock exclusion fencing removed livestock access to the riparian areas and
provides wildlife corridors throughout the Project area. A flow gauge was installed midway on the reach to
monitor hydrology.
Reach DW1-B - This reach begins on the southern end of the Project from DW1-A and DW2-B, flows
north to DW1-C, and totals 1,948 linear feet of Priority I/II restoration. Managed pasture was located
adjacent to the reach on the upstream end. The downstream end was surrounded by intermittently grazed
pasture and disturbed secondary growth in an area with previous timber harvest. Restoration activities
included constructing a new channel within the natural valley with appropriate dimensions and pattern and
backfilling the abandoned channel. In-stream structures such as log sills, brush toes, and log vanes were
installed for stability and to improve habitat. Habitat was further improved through buffer plantings and
livestock exclusion. Buffer activities improve riparian areas that filter runoff from adjacent pastures,
thereby reducing nutrient and sediment loads to the channel.
Reach DW1-C – This reach begins on the north end of the Project from DW1-B, and flows northeast to a
culvert crossing and DW1-D. This reach totals 566 linear feet of Priority I/II restoration, beginning
immediately downstream of a bedrock drop structure at the bottom of DW1-B. Sections of the existing road
were decommissioned in the easement and planted. Restoration activities included constructing a new
channel within the natural valley with appropriate dimensions and pattern, cutting a floodplain bench and
backfilling the abandoned channel. In-stream structures such as log sills, brush toes, and log vanes were
installed for stability and to improve habitat. Habitat was further improved through buffer plantings and
livestock exclusion. Livestock exclusion fencing removed livestock access to the riparian areas and
provides wildlife corridors throughout the Project area.
Reach DW1-D - This reach begins at the downstream end of DW1-C and culvert crossing in the northern
end of the Project, and flows northeast to DW1-E. The reach totals 758 linear feet of Priority I/II restoration.
Restoration activities included constructing a floodplain bench to aid in connectivity to the existing
floodplain and constructing a new channel with appropriate dimensions and pattern. When possible, bed
material was harvested and reused to create stable bed features. In-stream structures such as log sills, brush
toes, and log vanes were installed for stability and to improve habitat. Habitat was further improved through
buffer plantings and livestock exclusion. Buffer activities improve riparian areas that filter runoff from
adjacent pastures, thereby reducing nutrient and sediment loads to the channel.
Reach DW1-E - This reach begins on the north end of the Project, from DW1-D and flows north until it
drains to the Yadkin River. This reach totals 432 linear feet of Enhancement III. Managed cropland was
located adjacent to the reach. Enhancement activities included improving habitat through livestock
exclusion fencing.
Reach DW2-A - This reach begins on the southeast end of the Project, and flows west to DW2-B. This
reach totals 760 linear feet of Enhancement II. Sparse woodland and managed pasture was located adjacent
to the reach. Enhancement activities included targeted bank stabilization, riparian buffer planting, and
installation of livestock exclusion fencing. An existing ford crossing was removed. Buffer activities
improve riparian areas that filter runoff from adjacent pastures, thereby reducing nutrient and sediment
loads to the channel.
Reach DW2-B - This reach begins at the downstream end of DW2-A, and flows north to the confluence
with DW1-A to become DW1-B. This reach totals 485 linear feet of Priority I Restoration. Actively
managed pasture was present on both sides of the reach. Restoration activities included constructing a new
channel within the natural valley with appropriate dimensions pattern and backfilling the abandoned
channel. Native bed material was harvested when possible. In-stream structures such as log sills, brush toes,

Compass Point 6 Year 2 Monitoring Report
Mitigation Site August 2022
and log vanes were installed for stability and to improve habitat. Habitat was further improved through
buffer plantings and livestock exclusion. A crossing was installed along this reach. Buffer activities improve
riparian areas that filter runoff from adjacent pastures, thereby reducing nutrient and sediment loads to the
channel.
Reach DW3 - This reach begins on the south end of the Project at the adjacent powerline easement, and
flows north to DW2-A. This reach totals 93 linear feet of Enhancement II. Disturbed woodland and
intermittently grazed pasture was located adjacent to the reach. A maintained powerline easement is located
adjacent to the reach. Enhancement activities included improving habitat through livestock exclusion
fencing, and riparian buffer planting.
1.6 Construction and As-Built Conditions

Stream construction, planting, and fencing was completed in June 2020. The Project was closely built to
design plans and guidelines. One minor adjustment was made to the easement, causing a total decrease of
0.04 acres. The easement was offset 30 feet from the parcel line, however, during the original survey an
incorrect parcel line was used. This change to the easement was already corrected in the original recorded
easement but was not updated in the original mitigation plan. Therefore, the length of DW1-A is now 15
linear feet (6 SMUs) shorter in As-Built than what was shown in the Mitigation Plan, causing a reduction
in total credits from 4,161 SMUs to 4,155 SMUs. A few other minor changes were made to structures
during construction which are detailed in the redline version of the as-built survey in the As-Built Report
(submitted August 2020). Project credits are based on design centerline, but as-built stream lengths are also
shown on Table 1.

Also, there were a few changes to the planting plan due to bareroot availability. Planting plan changes are
shown in Table 5.

1.7 Monitoring Performance (MY2)

Vegetation

Monitoring of the eight permanent vegetation plots and three random plots was completed during August
2022. Vegetation data is in Appendix C, associated photos are in Appendix B, and plot locations are in
Appendix B. MY2 monitoring data indicates that 10 out of 11 plots are exceeding the interim success
criteria of 320 planted stems per acre. Planted stem densities ranged from 283 to 1,012 planted stems per
acre with a mean of 651 across all plots. A total of 13 species were documented within the plots. Volunteer
species were noted in five of the plots. The average stem height across all vegetation plots was 3.1 feet.

Current visual assessments of vegetation outside of the monitoring plots indicate that the herbaceous
vegetation is becoming well established throughout the project. The low stem density areas in and around
VP3, and along DW2-A (Figure 2) will be supplemental planted with container trees this dormant season.

Stream Geomorphology

Geomorphology data for MY2 was collected during June 2022. Summary tables and cross section plots are
in Appendix D. Overall the baseline cross sections and profile on the restoration reach relatively match the
design. Cross sections 12 and 13 on DW1-D have shown no further signs of degradation but will continue
to be monitored closely. The as-built conditions show that shear stress and velocities have been reduced for
all restoration reaches. All reaches were designed as very coarse sand bed channels and remain classified
as very coarse sand bed channels post-construction.

Compass Point 7 Year 2 Monitoring Report
Mitigation Site August 2022

The channel is stable and transporting sediment as designed. Future monitoring events will continue to
watch for aggradation and degradation. As requested in the As-Built Credit Release Letter, RES has
included a photo of the culverted crossing on DW1-A in Appendix B. As of June 2022, there was water
and substrate in all three of the culverts. RES will continue to include photos of these crossing.

Stream Hydrology

In June 2020, one stage recorder was installed on restoration reach DW1-B to document bankfull events
and a flow gauge was installed on reach DW1-A to track the frequency and duration of stream flow events.
The site is on track to meet its hydrologic performance standards as evident by six bankfull events recorded
over the past three years with two in 2022 and the DW1-A flow gauge recording consecutive flow for 221
days in 2022. Stream hydrology data has been included in Appendix E. The stage recorder and flow gauge
locations can be found on Figure 2 and photos are in Appendix B.

Wetland Hydrology

Three groundwater wells were installed in June 2020. The goal of the groundwater wells is to track the
hydrology in the jurisdictional wetlands on site post-construction. There is no hydroperiod success criteria
for these groundwater wells. Wetland hydrology data has been included in Appendix E for GW1, GW2
and GW3. GW1 data was unrecoverable during data collection in 2021 but was recovered during the most
recent data collection. Groundwater well locations can be found on Figure 2.

2.0 Methods

Stream geomorphology monitoring was conducted using a Topcon GTS-312 Total Station. Three-
dimensional coordinates associated with cross-section data were collected in the field (NAD83 State Plane
feet FIPS 3200). Morphological data were collected at 14 cross-sections. Survey data were imported into
CAD, ArcGIS®, and Microsoft Excel® for data processing and analysis.

Stream hydrology is monitored using stage recorders and flow gauges, which utilize automatic pressure
transducers, and were installed within the channels. The stage recorders record frequency, duration, and
stage of bankfull events and are programmed to record readings at an hourly interval. A surveyed elevation
was recorded at the bed and top of bank at the stage recorder elevation, allowing for accurate bankfull
events to be recorded. Flow gauges record frequency, duration, and stage of flow events and are
programmed to read at an hourly interval. The height of the adjacent downstream riffle (from the gauge) is
used to detect flow.

Vegetation success is being monitored at eight permanent monitoring plots and three random plots for a
total of 11 plots. Locations of random plots will vary from year to year and will be shown in Figure 2, and
species and height will be recorded for all woody stems. Vegetation plot monitoring follows the CVS-EEP
Level 2 Protocol for Recording Vegetation, version 4.2 (Lee et al. 2008) and includes analysis of species
composition and density of planted species. Data are processed using the CVS data entry tool. In the field,
the four corners of each plot were permanently marked with PVC at the origin and metal conduit at the
other corners. Photos of each plot are taken from the origin each monitoring year.

Wetland hydrology is monitored to document maintenance of jurisdictional groundwater levels in the
stream restoration area (as requested by IRT). This is accomplished with three automatic pressure
transducer gauges (located in groundwater wells) that record daily groundwater levels. One automatic
pressure transducer is installed above ground for use as a barometric reference. Gauges are downloaded

quarterly and wetland hydroperiods are calculated during the growing season. Gauge installation followed
current regulatory guidance. Visual observations of primary and secondary wetland hydrology indicators
are also recorded during quarterly site visits.
