1ProjectSummary
1.1ProjectLocationandDescription
The Grassy Creek Tributaries Mitigation Project (“Project”) is a mitigation bank under the WLS Yadkin 01
Umbrella Mitigation Bank (“Bank”). The Project is located approximately five miles south of the Town of
Pilot Mountain in Surry County, NC (36.319329°, -80.463066°). The Project is located within the 8-digit
HUC 03040101, in the NC Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) sub-basin 03-07-02 (Warm
Water ThermalRegime), in the Ararat River & Upper Yadkin River Local Watershed Plan (LWP) Study Area
(LWP-2008-51), and in the Target Local Watershed (TLW) 03040101110070, all in the Upper Yadkin River
Basin.
The Project involved the restoration, enhancement, and permanent protection of eight stream reaches
(R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R6Aand R7) and their riparian buffers, totaling approximately 6,084linear feet of
streams. The Project will provide significant ecological improvements and functional uplift through stream
and aquatic habitat restoration and through decreasing nutrient and sediment loads within the
watershed. Themitigation planprovides adetailed project summary and Table 1 provides a summary of
project assets. Figure 1illustrates the project mitigation components.
Monitoring Year 2(MY2) activities occurred during August and September 2022.This reportpresents the
data for MY2. The Project meets the MY2success criteria for stream hydrology, stream horizontal and
vertical stability,streambed condition and stability, and vegetation. Based on these results, the Project is
on trajectory to meet interim and final success criteria. For moreinformation on the chronology of the
project history and activity, refer to Appendix A, Table 2. Relevant project contact information is
presented in the appendices in Table 2and project background information is presented in Table 3.
1.2ProjectGoalsandObjectives
The Project will meetthe goals and objectives described in the Grassy Creek TributariesFinal Approved
Mitigation Plan and will address general restoration goals and opportunities outlined in the North Carolina
Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) Upper Yadkin River Basin Restoration Priority Plan (RBRP) (DEQ
2009). More specifically, watershed goals and management strategies described in the Ararat River and
Upper Yadkin LWP will be met by:
•Reducing sediment, soil erosion, turbidity, and nutrient inputs such as fecal coliform bacteria,
nitrogen, and phosphorus to Grassy Creek and the Upper Yadkin River Watershed.
•Restoring, enhancing, and protecting headwater streams, wetlands, riparian buffers,and aquatic
habitat functions.
•Improving riparian corridor management and targeting restoration of impacted streams and
riparian buffer areas.
•Promoting agronomic farm management techniques and implementing agricultural BMPs and
water quality features such as livestock exclusion fencing, alternative watering systems, and
nutrient management.
To accomplish these project-specific goals, the following objectives will be measured to document overall
project success:
1
•Provide a floodplain connection to the incised Project stream reaches by lowering bank height
ratios (BHRs) to less than 1.2, thereby promoting more natural or overbank flood flows,
•Improve bedform diversity by increasing scour pool spacing and depth variability,
•Increase native species riparian buffer and vegetation density/composition along streambank and
floodplain areas that meetrequirements of a minimum 30-foot-wide and 210 stems/acre after
the monitoring period,
•Improve aquatic habitat and fish species diversity and migration through the addition of in-stream
cover and native woody debris,
•Site protection through a 13-acre conservation easement more than30 feet from the top of the
restored streambanks, that will protect all streams, wetlands,and aquatic resources in perpetuity.
1.3MonitoringScheduleandReporting
The Project will be monitored on a regular basis with physical inspections to occur a minimum of twice
per year throughout the seven-year post-construction monitoring period, or until performance standards
are met. The measure of stream restoration success will be documented by bankfull flows and no change
in stream channel classification. The measure of vegetative success for the Project will be the survival of
at least 210 seven-year-old trees per acre with an average height of eight feet at the end of year seven of
the monitoring period. Site inspections and monitoringreports will also identify components and features
that require routine maintenance or adaptive management. The easement holder and long-term steward
is Unique Places to Save (UP2S). UP2S will be responsible for annual inspection of the Project after close-
out to ensure that restrictions in place required by the recorded Conservation Easement document are
being upheld.
1.4ProjectSuccessCriteria
The success criteria for the Project will follow approved performance standards and monitoring protocols
fromthe final approved mitigation plan;which wasdeveloped in compliance with the USACE October
2016 Guidance, USACE Stream Mitigation Guidelines (April 2003 and October 2005), and 2008
Compensatory Mitigation Final Rule. Cross-section and vegetation plot data will be collected in Years 0, 1,
2, 3, 5, and 7. Streamhydrology data and visual monitoring will be reported annually. Specific success
criteria components and evaluation methods are described below.
1.4.1Single-Thread Streams
Stream Hydrology: Four separate bankfull or over bank events must be documented within the seven-
year monitoring period and the stream hydrology monitoring will continue until four bankfull events have
been documented in separate years. Stream hydrology monitoring will be accomplished with pressure
transducers installed in pools and correlating sensor depth to top of bank elevation(see appendix Efor
installation diagrams). Recorded water depth above the top of bank elevation will document a bankfull
event. The devices willrecord water depth hourly and will be inspected quarterly. In addition to the
pressure transducers, traditional cork gauges will be installed at bankfull elevation and will be used to
document bankfull events with photographs.
Stream Profiles, Vertical Stability, and Floodplain Access: Stream profiles, as a measure of vertical
stability and floodplain access will be evaluated by looking at Bank Height Ratios. In addition, observed
bedforms should be consistent with those observed for channels of the design stream type(s). The BHR
shall not exceed 1.2 along the restored Project stream reaches. This standard only applies to restored
2
reaches of the channel where BHRs were corrected through design and construction. Vertical stability will
be evaluated with visual assessment, cross-sections and, if directed by the IRT, longitudinal profile.
Stream Horizontal Stability:Cross-sections will be used to evaluate horizontal stream stabilityon restored
streams. There should be little change expected fromas-built restoration cross-sections. If measurable
changes do occur, they should be evaluated to determine if the changes represent a movement toward a
more unstable condition (e.g., downcutting, erosion) or a movement towards increased stability (e.g.,
settling, vegetation establishment, deposition along the streambanks, 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.
Reference photo transects will be taken at each permanent cross-section. Lateral photos should not
indicate excessive erosion or continuing degradation of the streambanks. Photographs will be taken of
both streambanks at each cross-section. A survey tape stretched between the permanent cross-section
monuments/pins will be centered in each of the streambank photographs. The water elevation will be
shown in the lower edge of the frame, and as much of the streambank as possible will be included in each
photo. Photographers willattempt to consistently maintain the same area in each photo over time.
Streambed Material Condition and Stability:Representative streambed material samples will be collected
in monitoring years 5 and 7 at riffle locations in restored stream reaches. The post-construction riffle
substrate samples will be compared to the riffle substrate data collected during the existing conditions
assessment. Any significant changes (e.g., aggradation, degradation, embeddedness) will be noted after
streambank vegetation becomes established and a minimum of two bankfull flows or greater have been
documented. If changes are observed within stable riffles and pools, additional sediment transport
analyses and calculations may be required.
Jurisdictional Stream Flow:Monitoring of stream flow will be conducted to demonstrate that the restored
stream systems classified as intermittent exhibit surface flow for a minimum of 30 consecutive days
throughout some portion of the year during a year with normal or below normal rainfall conditions.
Stream flowmonitoring will be accomplished with pressure transducers installed in pools and correlating
sensor depth to the downstream top of riffle elevation. If the pool water depth is at or above the top of
riffle elevation,then the channel will be assumed to have surface flow(see appendix Efor installation
diagrams). The devices will record water elevation twice per day andwill be inspected quarterly to
document surface hydrology and provide a basis for evaluating flow response to rainfall events.
1.4.2Vegetation
Vegetation monitoring will occur in the fall each required monitoring year, prior to leaf drop. Plots will be
monitored in years 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7. Vegetative success for the Project during the intermediate monitoring
years will be based the survival of at least 320, three-year-old trees per acre at the end of Year 3 of the
monitoring period; and at least 260, five-year-old, trees per acre that must average sixfeet in height at
the end of Year 5 of the monitoring period. The final vegetative restoration success criteria will be
achieving a density of no less than 210, seven-year-old stems per acre that must average eightfeet in
height in Year 7 of monitoring.Volunteer species on the approved planting list that meet success criteria
standards will be counted towards success criteria.
3
1.4.3Visual Assessment
WLS will conduct visual assessments in support of mitigationperformance monitoring. Visual assessments
of all stream reaches will be conducted twice per monitoring year with at least five months in between
each site visit for each of the seven years of monitoring. Photographs will be used to visually document
system performance and any areas of concern related to streambank and bed stability, condition of in-
stream structures, channel migration, active headcuts, live stake mortality, invasive plant species or
animal browsing, easement boundary encroachments, cattleexclusion fence damage, and general
streambed conditions. Permanent photo points will be at the cross-sections, crossings, and Enhancement
II reaches.

3MonitoringYear2AssessmentandResults
The dates of Year 2 monitoring activities are detailed in Appendix A, Table 2. All Year 2 monitoring data is
presented in this report and in the appendices. The Project is on track for meeting stream and vegetation
interim success criteria. All monitoring device locations are depicted on the CCPV (Figures 1a-c).
3.1MorphologicalAssessment
3.1.1StreamHorizontal Pattern & Longitudinal Profile
Visual assessment was utilized for assessment of MY2 horizontal and vertical stability. The visual
assessments for each stream reach documented that MY2 stream channel pattern and longitudinal
4
profiles, and in-stream structure location/function still closely match the profile design parameters and
MY0/baseline conditions (Appendix D). The MY2planform geometryor patternfall within acceptable
ranges of the design parameters for all restored reaches.Minorchannel adjustments in riffle slopes, pool
depths and pattern were observed based on natural sediment migration and stream bank vegetation
establishment but do not present stability concerns.
During MY1,a log J-hook structure near station 57+10 was piping(SPA-1). The structure is still piping but
is stableandnot performing as intended.No remedial action is proposed at this time.Also, during MY1,
minor erosionwas observed on theleft floodplain slope of R7 due to field runoff(SPA-2). Theeroded area
nd
was re-seeded and filled with hay bales to prevent further erosionon August 2, 2021. Coir logs were
placed along the top of the slope to disperse and slow the flow of water during future rain eventsuntil
vegetation becamemore established. Because vegetation in this area is establishing well and stabilizing
soilsas observed in MY2,no further remedial action is proposed. Both areas will be monitored closely,
and any remedial actions will be documented in the MY3report(Photos in Appendix B).
3.1.2 Stream Horizontal Dimension
The MY2channel dimensionsgenerally match thedesign parametersand are withina stable range of
tolerance. Twelve cross-sections were installed on restoration reaches with six located in riffles and six
located in pools. Nine of the twelve permanently installed cross-sections show little to no change in BHR
orbankfull area when compared to as-built measurements, and BHRsare less than 1.2. Riffle cross-
sections, XS-5 and XS-10located on R2 and R3 respectively,show change in BHR of greaterthan ten
percent.Both cross-sections have aggraded duetoincreased sedimentmovement from construction of
the upstream park projectthat occurred in summer2022.Pool XS-9,located on R3, has degraded with a
BHR change of 24 percent. All three cross-sections are stable, and no remedial action is proposed at this
time.It is expected that over timesome pools may accumulate finesediment and organic matter,
however,this is notan indicator ofchannel instability. Maximum riffle depthsand entrenchment ratios
are expected tofluctuate slightly throughout the monitoring period as the channels adjust to restored
flow regime.There were no major changes in entrenchment ratio for any cross-sections during MY2.
Entrenchment ratio data is included in Table 6b of Appendix D. Entrenchment ratios for all reaches fall
within design parameters. Cross-section overlaysand measurements can be found in Appendix D.
3.1.3 Substrate
Representative streambed material samples will be collected in years 5 and 7 at the locations where riffles
are installed in reaches that are proposed for restoration as part of the Project.
3.2StreamHydrology
3.2.1Stream Flow
Threepressure transducers (flow gauges) were installed in April2021onreachesR1, R5, and R6. All the
flow gaugesdocumented that the stream exhibited surface flow for a minimum of 30 consecutive days
duringthe monitoring year.Additionally,to determineifrainfall amounts are normal for the given year,
precipitation data was collectedfrom CRONOS Pilot Mountain weather station (CBTN7) approximately
one mile north of the site.

The associated dataislocatedin Appendix E.
3.3 Vegetation
Monitoring of theseven permanent vegetation plots was completed during September2022. Vegetation
data can be found in Appendix C with the associated photos located in Appendix B. The MY2average
planted density is 538stems per acre, which exceeds the interim measure ofvegetativesuccess of at least
320 planted stems per acre at the end of the third monitoring year.In addition, every vegetationplot also
metthe interim measure ofsuccessand had445to648stems per acre.Volunteerblack willow (Salix
nigra) were noted at MY2, and more species areexpected to establish in upcoming years.
Visual assessment ofvegetation outsideof themonitoring plotsindicatesthat the herbaceous vegetation
iswell established throughout the project.
4Methods
Streamcross-sectionmonitoring was conducted using a Topcon Total Station. Three-dimensional
coordinates associated with cross-section data were collected in the field (NAD83 State Plane feet PIPS
3200). Morphological data were collected at 12 cross-sections. Survey data wasimported into Microsoft
Excel® for processing and analysis. The stage recorders include an automatic pressure transducer set in
PVC piping in the channel. The elevation of the bed and top of bank at each stage recorder location was
recorded to be able to document presence of water in the channel and out of bank events. Visual
observations (i.e. wrack or debris lines) and traditional cork crest gauges will also be used to document
out of bank events.
Vegetation success is being monitored at a total of sevenpermanent vegetation plots. 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
NCDMS ShinyApp tool. In the field, the four comers of each plot were permanently marked with PVC at
the origin and rebarat the other comers. Photos of each plot are to be taken from the origin each
monitoring year. Tree species and height will be recorded for each planted stem.
