1.0 Executive Summary
The Lyle Creek Mitigation Site, hereafter referred to as the Site, is a full - delivery stream and wetland
restoration project for the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program ( NCEEP) in Catawba
County, NC. The Site is located in the Catawba River Basin Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC)
03050101140010, and North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) Subbasin 03- 08 -32, which is
within a NCEEP Targeted Local Watershed. This HUC qualifies as a service area for an adjacent HUC; as a
result, the Lyle Creek Mitigation Site was submitted for mitigation credit in the Catawba River Basin HUC
03050103. The Site is located west of NC Highway 10/ North Main Street in the Town of Catawba, NC on
an active tree farm surrounded by woods and residential land use. The Site is bounded by Lyle Creek to
the north, NC Highway 10/ North Main Street to the east and an elevated railroad right -of -way to the
south.
The project stream reaches consist of UT1, UT1A, UT113 (stream restoration) and UT1C and UT1D
(stream enhancement level II). The project wetland areas consist of RW1 and RW2 (wetland restoration
and creation). Mitigation work within the Site included restoring and enhancing 6,795 linear feet (LF) of
perennial and intermittent stream channel and restoring and creating 9.5 acres of riparian wetland. The
stream and wetland areas were planted with native vegetation to improve habitat and protect water
quality. Construction and planting activities were completed by River Works in April 2012. The Site is
located on one (1) parcel owned by the Garmon Family. A Conservation Easement held by the State of
North Carolina has been recorded with the Catawba County Register of Deeds on the 26.62 -acre Lyle
Creek project study area within the Garmon parcel. The conservation easement protects the project
area in perpetuity.
Directions and a map of the Site are provided in Figure 1 and project components are illustrated for the
Site in Figure 2.
1.1 Project Gools and Objectives
Prior to construction activities, the project streams were regularly modified and maintained and
therefore lacked bedform diversity, habitat, and riparian buffer. The primary impacts to the project
streams were the result of mowing, ditching, vegetation maintenance, and dredging associated with
tree farming activities. As a result of the aforementioned land activities, the onsite streams were incised
and overly wide with shallow flow. The streams were unable to maintain their channel form and
subsequently filled in with sediment, organic matter, and vegetation. In- stream bedform diversity was
extremely poor and the longitudinal profile was dominated by shallow runs. The lack of bedform
diversity combined with continued anthropogenic disturbance resulted in degraded aquatic habitat,
altered hydrology (related to loss of floodplain connection and lowered water table), and water quality
concerns such as lower dissolved oxygen levels (due to shallow flow with few re- aeration points). Table
4 in Appendix 1 and Tables 10a, 10b, and 10c in Appendix 4 present the pre- restoration conditions in
detail.
The primary goals of the project were to provide ecological and water quality enhancements to the
Catawba River Basin while creating a functional riparian corridor at the site level, providing wetland
habitat and ecological function, and restoring a Piedmont Bottomland Forest as described by Schafale
and Weakley (1990). These goals were achieved by restoring 5,411 linear feet (LF) of perennial and
intermittent stream channel and 6.6 acres (ac) of wetland area, enhancing 1,384 LF of intermittent
stream channel and creating 2.9 ac of wetland area. Approximately 179 LF of stream was excluded from
the total project credit calculations from crossings (farm roads and power line easements). The Site's
riparian areas were also planted to stabilize streambanks and wetland areas, improve habitat, and
protect water quality. The ecological uplift can be summarized as starting from tree farming- impacted
streams and wetlands and moving to stable channels and wetlands in a protected riparian corridor.
Lyle Creek Mitigation Site Page i
Monitoring Year 2 Annual Report —FINAL
Restoration of dimension, pattern, and profile was implemented for UT1, UT1A, and UT113;
enhancement of profile and dimension was implemented for UT1C and UT11D. Wetland restoration and
creation included RW1 and RW2. UT1A and UT1B discharge into an anastomosed wetland complex
upstream of their confluence with UT1 as depicted in Figure 2. This anastomosed wetland complex was
not proposed for stream mitigation credit. Figure 2 and Table 1 present the implemented design for the
Site.
Monitored enhancements to water quality and ecological processes established in the mitigation plan
are outlined below, followed by expected project benefits which are associated with restoration, but will
not be monitored as part of this project:
Monitored Project Goals
• Wetland areas will be disked to increase surface roughness and better capture rainfall which
will improve connection with the water table for groundwater recharge. Adjacent streams will
be stabilized and established with a floodplain elevation to promote hydrologic transfer
between wetland and stream.
• A channel with riffle -pool sequences and some rock and wood structures will be created in the
steeper project reaches and a channel with run -pool sequences and woody debris structures will
be created in the low sloped project reaches for macroinvertebrate and fish habitat.
Introduction of wood including root wads and woody 'riffles' along with native stream bank
vegetation will substantially increase habitat value. Gravel areas will be added as appropriate to
further diversify available habitats.
• Adjacent buffer areas will be restored by removing invasive vegetation and planting native
vegetation. These areas will be allowed to receive more regular and inundating flows. Riparian
wetland areas will be restored and enhanced to provide wetland habitat.
• Sediment input from eroding stream banks will be reduced by installing bioengineering and in-
stream structures while creating a stable channel form using geomorphic design principles.
Expected Project Benefits
• Chemical fertilizer and pesticide levels will be decreased by filtering runoff from adjacent tree
farm operations through restored native buffer zones and wetlands. Offsite nutrient input will
be absorbed onsite by filtering flood flows through restored floodplain areas and wetlands,
where flood flows can disperse through native vegetation and be captured in vernal pools.
Increased surface water residency time will provide contact treatment time and groundwater
recharge potential.
• Sediment from offsite sources will be captured during bankfull or greater flows by deposition on
restored floodplain areas where native vegetation will slow overland flow velocities.
• Restored riffle /step -pool sequences on the upper reach of UT1A, where distinct points of re-
aeration can occur, will allow for oxygen levels to be maintained in the perennial reaches. Small
log steps on the upstream portion of UT1B and UT1 Reach 1 Upper will also provide re- aeration
points.
• Creation of deep pool zones will lower temperature, helping to maintain dissolved oxygen
concentrations. Pools will form below drops on the steeper project reaches and around areas of
woody debris on the low- sloped project reaches. Establishment and maintenance of riparian
buffers will create long -term shading of the channel flow to minimize thermal heating.
The design streams and wetlands were restored to the appropriate type based on the surrounding
landscape, climate, and natural vegetation communities but also with strong consideration to existing
watershed conditions and trajectory.
Lyle Creek Mitigation Site Page z
Monitoring Year 2 Annual Report —FINAL
The stream restoration success criteria for the Site follows the approved performance criteria presented
in the NCEEP Mitigation Plan Template (version 1.0, 11/20/2009) and the Stream Mitigation Guidelines
issued in April 2003 by the USACE and NCDWQ. Annual monitoring and quarterly site visits will be
conducted to assess the condition of the finished project for five (5) years, or until success criteria are
met. The stream restoration reaches (UT1, UT1A, and UT1B) of the project were assigned specific
performance criteria components for stream morphology, hydrology, and vegetation. The enhancement
reaches (UT1c and UT1d) were documented through photographs and visual assessments to verify that
no significant degradational changes are occurring in the stream channel or riparian corridor.
Monitoring for wetland vegetation will extend seven (7) years beyond completion of construction. The
wetland restoration and creation sections have been assigned specific performance criteria for
hydrology and vegetation. The final mitigation plan was submitted and accepted by the NCEEP in August
2011. Construction activities were completed by River Works, Inc. in April 2012. Baseline monitoring
(Year 0) and as -built survey was conducted between April and May 2012. Annual monitoring will be
conducted for seven (7) years; stream and vegetation assessment will be conducted for five (5) years
and wetland assessment will be conducted for seven (7) years. The final monitoring activities will be
conducted in 2018 with the close -out anticipated to commence in 2019 given the success criteria are
met. Appendix 1 provides more detailed project activity, history, contact information, and
watershed /site background information for this project.
1.2 Monitoring Year 2 Data Assessment
Annual monitoring and quarterly site visits were conducted during monitoring year (MY) 2 to assess the
condition of the project. The stream and wetland mitigation success criteria for the Site follow the
approved success criteria presented in the Lyle Mitigation Plan (2011).
1.2.1 Vegetative Assessment
Planted woody vegetation is being monitored in accordance with the guidelines and procedures
developed by the Carolina Vegetation Survey - NCEEP Level 2 Protocol (Lee et al., 2006). A total of 35
vegetation monitoring plots were established during the baseline monitoring within the project
easement areas using a standard 10 meter by 10 meter plot. The final vegetative success criteria
will be the survival of 260 planted stems per acre in the riparian corridor along restored and
enhanced reaches at the end of year five (5) of the monitoring period. The interim measure of
vegetative success for the Site will be the survival of at least 320 planted stems per acre at the end
of year three (3) of the monitoring period.
The MY -2 vegetative survey was completed in June 2013. The annual vegetation monitoring
resulted in an average stem density of 417 stems per acre, which is greater than the interim
requirement of 320 stems /acre, but approximately 22% less than the MY -0 density recorded (532
stems /acre) in April 2012 and 11% greater than the MY -1 density recorded (372 stems /acre). MY -2
resulted in an average of 12 stems per plot, which has remained consistent with the average of 12
stems per plot found in MY- 0 and MY -1. Due to the high mortality rates observed during the MY -1
vegetation assessment, supplemental plantings were warranted and installed during December
2012. The increase in planted stems found in MY -2 compared to MY -1 can be attributed both to the
supplemental plantings as well as to re- sprouting of previously planted stems.
A total of 31 out of 35 plots are on track to meet the success criteria required for monitoring year 3
(Table 9, Appendix 3). Additional maintenance is planned to address the low stem density observed
during MY -2 as described below. Invasive species have been identified onsite, including Kudzu,
Johnson grass, and cattails. However, the presence of these species does not appear to be affecting
the survivability of planted stems. Please refer to Appendix 3 for vegetation summary tables and
Lyle Creek Mitigation Site Page 3
Monitoring Year 2 Annual Report —FINAL
raw data tables and Appendix 2 for vegetation plot photographs and the vegetation condition
assessment table.
Maintenance Plan
The Site was re- planted in late winter 2012 in response to the dead bare roots observed during the
MY -1 vegetative survey. Most likely, the mortality of the planted stems was a result of dry soil
conditions, low precipitation, and /or from grass suffocation or crowding of planted stems. To
promote better success, the planting list was modified slightly to account for species that were not
successful in the initial planting. Wildlands will re- evaluate the low stem density areas from the MY-
2 vegetation survey during the winter 2013 and determine where and if supplemental planting is
needed on the Site. The small areas where invasive species have been noted within the Site were
treated during suitable months over the 2013 monitoring year. These areas will continue to be
monitored and treated on a regular basis.
1.2.2 Stream Assessment
Morphological surveys for the MY -2 were conducted in May 2013. The majority of the streams
within the Site have met the success criteria for MY -2 with the exception of a short length of UT1A.
Aggradation is occurring on UT1A from station 301 +50 to 304 +00. This area of concern is further
described below. Please refer to Appendix 2 for the visual assessment table, current condition plan
view (CCPV), and photographs and Appendix 4 for morphological data and plots.
In general cross - sections along UT1 and UT113 show little to no change in the bankfull area,
maximum depth ratio, or width -to -depth ratio. However due to the sand /silt nature of the
substrate throughout the project, fluctuations in bed elevations were observed and expected.
These fluctuations are temporary and seem to typically correspond to storm events. At the
downstream end of UT1, near the confluence with Lyle Creek, minor aggradation has occurred. This
aggradation is most likely attributed to backwater conditions from Lyle Creek. Surveyed riffle cross -
sections fell within the parameters defined for channels of the appropriate Rosgen stream type with
the exception of cross - sections 9 and 10 along UT1A, which experienced sedimentation from the
contributing upstream watershed. The sedimentation rate increased in MY -2 and has impacted
channel stability along UT1A. A plan to address the high sedimentation rate is discussed below in
the maintenance plan.
The surveyed longitudinal profile data for the stream restoration reaches illustrates that the
bedform features are maintaining lateral and vertical stability. The riffles and runs are remaining
steeper and shallower than the pools, while the pools are remaining deeper than the riffles and
maintaining flat water surface slopes. The longitudinal profiles show that the bank height ratios
remain very near to 1.0 for the restoration reaches. In- stream structures, such as brush mattresses
and sod mats used to enhance channel habitat and stability on the outside bank of meander bends
are providing stability and habitat as designed. Pattern data will be collected in MY -5 only if there
are indicators from the profile or dimensions that significant geomorphic adjustments have
occurred. No changes were observed during MY -2 that indicated a change in the radius of curvature
or channel belt width.
Maintenance Plan
During MY -2 sedimentation rates increased along UT1A. This sediment deposition is due to
upstream bank erosion and mass wasting occurring upstream of the Site that is outside of the
conservation easement. Since this area of erosion is outside of the easement, Wildlands proposes
to create a small sediment basin /trap to capture this sediment at the upstream limits of UT1A.
Wildlands will maintain this basin /trap by cleaning out the sediment as needed throughout the
Lyle Creek Mitigation Site Page 4
Monitoring Year 2 Annual Report —FINAL
monitoring period. Wildlands will prepare and submit a design plan for the sediment basin /trap to
EEP for approval prior to any work being conducted.
1.2.3 Hydrology Assessment
At the end of the five (5) year monitoring period, two or more bankfull events must have occurred in
separate years within the restoration reaches. Bankfull events were recorded on UT1, UT1A and
UT16 using a crest gage during MY -2. Please refer to Appendix 5 for hydrologic data.
1.2.4 Wetland Assessment
Ten groundwater monitoring gages were established during the baseline monitoring throughout the
wetland restoration and creation areas. The gages were installed at appropriate locations so that
the data collected will provide an indication of groundwater levels throughout the wetland project
area. Historical growing season data isn't available for Catawba County therefore the growing
season currently used for success criteria was applied from nearby Iredell County growing season
data. This growing season runs from April 7th to October 28th (203 days). However, additional
growing season data is being collected by two (2) soil temperature loggers that were installed one
(1) within each wetland. These probes will be used to better define the growing season using the
threshold soil temperature of 41 degrees or higher measured at a depth of 12 inches (USACE, 2010)
in subsequent monitoring years. If the probes indicate a longer growing season than that adapted
from Iredell County, the growing season will be adjusted based on on -site soil temperature
conditions. A barotroll logger and a rain gage were also installed onsite.
All monitoring gages were downloaded on a quarterly basis and will be maintained on an as needed
basis. The success criteria for wetland hydrology is to have a free groundwater surface within 12
inches of the ground surface for 7 percent of the growing season, which is measured on consecutive
days under typical precipitation conditions. All groundwater gages met the annual wetland
hydrology success criteria for MY -2. Please refer to Appendix 2 for the groundwater gage locations
and Appendix 5 for groundwater hydrology data and plots.
1.3 Monitoring Year 2 Summary
With the exception of the upstream portion of UT1A, all streams within the Site are stable and
functioning as designed. Aggradation observed on UT1A will be addressed to decrease the
sedimentation rates observed in MY -2. The average stem density for the Site is on track to meet the
MY -5 success criteria; however, a portion of the individual vegetation plots did not meet the current
success criteria as noted in the CCPV map. A vegetation maintenance plan will be implemented in late
winter 2013/2014. There has been two (2) bankfull events recorded in separate monitoring years along
each restored project reach since construction commenced; therefore, the Site has met the MY -5
stream hydrology attainment requirement. All groundwater gages are meeting the success criteria for
wetland hydrology.
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. Narrative background and supporting
information formerly found in these reports can be found in the Mitigation Plan documents available on
NCEEP's website. All raw data supporting the tables and figures in the appendices are available from
NCEEP upon request.
2.0 Methodology
Geomorphic data was collected followed 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). Longitudinal and cross - sectional data were collected using
Lyle Creek Mitigation Site Page 5
Monitoring Year 2 Annual Report —FINAL
a total station and were georeferenced. All CCPV mapping was recorded using a Trimble handheld GPS
with sub -meter accuracy and processed using was Pathfinder and ArcView. Crest gages were installed in
surveyed riffle cross - sections and monitored quarterly. Hydrology attainment installation and
monitoring methods are in accordance with the USACE (2003) standards. Vegetation monitoring
protocols followed the Carolina Vegetation Survey -NCEEP Level 2 Protocol (Lee et al., 2008).

'Pre- Restoration Reaches differ from the as- built /baseline reaches.
2Channel was straightened, moved, and /or maintained to prevent pattern formation prior to restoration.
The Rosgen classification system is for natural streams. These channels have been heavily manipulated by man and therefore theRosgen classification system is not applicable. These classifications are provided for illustrative purposes only.
°UT1 Reach 3 drops down to meet the Lyle Creek water surface elevation, which accounts for a channel slope steeper than the valley slope.
Data not provided in reference reach report (Lowther, 2008).
Data not provided in Neu -Con Umbrella Wetland and Stream Mitigation Bank Westbrook Lowgrounds Site Specific Mitigation Plan (Environmental Bank and Exchange, 2002).
7Lowther reported a range of possible discharges from 46.8 to 108.9 cfs based on different Manning's'n' estimation techniques(Lowther, 2008).
