Project Description 3a Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application The Project Site is located on the southern portion of the Blue Ridge Mountain Club (BRMC) residential development (referto Location and Topographic Maps) and can be accessed by way of trails from Reynolds Parkway or from Elk Creek Road through a Right of Way The Project Site encompasseslapproximately,3 ,450' of DuggerrCreek, a.steep second order, perennial stream running through an area of forested mountain land Dugger Creek is classified as Outstanding Resource Waters, as well as a Trout Stream and class 'B,' waters. Dugger Creek averages 25' in width within the =Project Site An existing 8' wide'trad, old,loggmg road, follows Dugger Creek along;its high ibankthrough the entire project extent Five existing fords on Dugger Creek,are also within the project extent along the Dugger Creek trail The Dugger Creektrail makes one additional stream crossing on unnamed tributary (UT-4) to Dugger Creek with a,6" black plastic pipe conveyance One small (20 "x40') outbuilding is located within the Project Site, a dirt floor, open walled, covered roof picnic shelter Please see attached Existing Conditions Map to reference above described existing site conditions Vicinity landu"ses include single -family residential as well as small scale agricultural. Majority of surrounding area is undeveloped forestland 3b List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property 0 03 (Project Site only) 3c. List,the =total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the,property 3990 (Project Site only) 3d Explain the purpose of,the proposed nproject The purpose of the Dugger Creek Trout Habitat Enhancement'project is to improve fishery habitat on Dugger Creek by providing additional woody food sources, cover structures, and stabdiie eroding stream banks Dugger Creek Trout Habitat Enhancement October 6, 2014 Blue Ridge Mountain Club Wilkes, County ,3e Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used Project Site encompasses a 3,450 If section of Dugger Creek located on a 454 1 -acre tract of land under the ownership of BRMC The site is part of the BRMC development, which covers,approximately 6,050 acres in Watauga,and Wilkes Counties The Dugger Creek Trout Habitat,Enhancement,Project seeks to improve fishery habitat and water quality conditions with the installation of mstream structures including woody debris and toe wood, rock and wood vanes, and bank stabilization techniques The goal of the habitat enhancement process is to increase the abundance and quality of freshwater fish habitat as well as provide increased food source availability Two areas of eroding streambanks will be stabilized in habitat enhancement sections Specifically, the Applicant proposes to make habitat improvements in seven locations,within the project site Each of the seven locations is roughly 30 to 50 feet long The proposed work at each location will consist of installing one or two (primarily log) structures, impools, for theupurpose of improving fish habitat The,Habitat,structures,are all designed to function during normal flow and are not intended'to alter bedform °sequencing, channel dimensions, profile or pattern All of'the structures.wnll be installed "low" in the - channel cross section so as, not to substantially alter channeUhydraulics during higher flow events `There are two minor'exceptions to'this, at Site 2 and Site 6 In each of these locations a log vane is proposed to deflect some stream energy away from an eroding bank, we are not proposing to remedy the bank erosion problems but merely to `take some of the pressure off and allowfor natural stabilization (see attached Proposed Plans for each site) Access to the site will be from Elk-,Creek- Road byway of'an existing.Right,of Way that connects tothe Dugger -Creek Trail Access to each individual work site will be directly from Dugger Creek Trail Disturbance to existing vegetation will be minimized and all disturbed areas will be smoothed up and seeded with a riparian seed mix at the completion of work at each site All logs, root wads and boulders used in this work will be harvested from upland, non- npanan areas of'the site or from elsewhere on the BRIVIC development The construction phase of the project is expected to take approximately 10 days to complete Equipment,to be used will include a small to medium tracked excavator, skid -steer loader, and small off -road truck. 4.
