1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY / PROJECT ABSTRACT
In 2002, the North Carolina Department of Transportation identified the Unnamed Tributary (UT) to Bear
Creek Site (Phillips) in Chatham County, North Carolina as a potential stream restoration project. The
1.7- square mile watershed is located within the USGS 8 -digit HUC 03030003 and the NCDWQ Sub -
basin 03 -06 -12 of the Cape Fear River Basin. The project restored approximately 2,378 linear feet of
channel - 1,921 feet on UT Bear Creek and 457 feet on unnamed tributary 2 (UT2) - and enhanced an
additional 935 feet of channel on UT2. The NCDOT completed project construction in 2006, after which
the project was transferred to the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP). Project goals
and objectives are listed below:
Project Goals:
• Improve water quality.
• Improve riparian and in- stream habitat
Project Objectives:
• Excluding cattle from the stream channels.
• Increasing channel stability.
• Restoring dimension, pattern, and profile to UT Bear Creek and UT 2.
The riparian buffer was planted with five different species of bare root trees and two different species of
live stakes. Seven vegetation monitoring plots were established in 2009, the first year of monitoring.
These plots were set up following the Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) vegetation monitoring protocol.
Based on the seven monitoring plots, the fifth -year monitoring counted an average of 399 planted
stems /acre across the site. Plot 7 is the only plot that has a planted stem density less than the year five
success criteria of 260 stems /acre. This plot has 202 planted stems /acre and 1,052 total stems /acre,
including volunteers. The site's average stem density including volunteers is 1,549 stems /acre. Three
prominent exotic invasive species found within the project buffer are Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense),
Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), and microstegium (Microstegium vimineum), with the privet
being especially thick in certain areas. The areas of privet have been mapped on the CCPV. Plot 4
contains one stem of princess tree (Paulownia tomentosa). The presence of this invasive species is limited
and is not widespread throughout the site. Supplemental planting of the site was conducted in November
of 2013. Five separate zones were planted throughout the easement totaling approximately 0.9 acres.
Please see Appendix C for the Supplemental Planting List and Plan.
There are two hydrologic features on the site. The first, UT Bear Creek, has been restored by altering the
dimension, pattern, and profile and is controlled vertically by numerous bedrock outcrops and cross
vanes. The second feature is UT 2 and it has been divided into two reaches, UT 2A, which was enhanced,
and UT 213, which was restored. UT 2A is a straight channel that begins at Station 30 +00. This reach
already had banks stabilized by the mature trees that line both sides of the channel for the length of the
reach. This reach was enhanced by planting native vegetation in the riparian buffer beyond the top of
bank. UT 2B begins where UT 2A ends at the ford crossing at Station 39 +75. This reach was restored by
changing the dimension, pattern and profile of the channel from the ford to the confluence with UT Bear
Creek.
During the fifth -year monitoring the site was also examined for stream stability and potential problem
areas. UT Bear Creek is predominantly stable throughout the project. There is one area of floodplain
erosion that has been noted in previous reports and is no longer active. The area has now filled in with
vegetation. The beaver dam noted in previous year's monitoring reports that was creating backwater
conditions in the lower portions of UT Bear Creek has been removed. The areas that had been flooded
and had low planted stem density have been replanted. UT 2 is predominantly stable. There are two
UT Bear Creek KCI Associates of North Carolina
EEP Project #92719 1 2013 - MY05

localized areas of erosion and bed degradation on UT 2. The first is at the cross vane at Station 40 +00 and
the second area is along the channel at Station 43 +00 where there is a small head cut.
Summary information/data related to the occurrence of items such as beaver or encroachment and
statistics related to 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 Baseline Monitoring Report (formerly Mitigation Plan) and in the
Mitigation Plan (formerly the Restoration Plan) documents available on the EEP's website. All raw data
supporting the tables and figures in the appendices are available from EEP upon request.
2.0 METHODOLOGY
The Level 2 CVS -EEP protocol ( http : / /cvs.bio.unc.edu/methods.htm) was used to collect vegetation data
from UT Bear Creek.

Due to the frequent beaver activity throughout the site, many parts of the site have had extended
periods of backwater, therefore it has been difficult to determine bankfull events. From
examining precipitation data in 2013 from the Siler City Airport weather station, it is likely that a
2.33" rain event on August 21, 2013 produced a bankfull event.
