More specifically, the Conservation Easement (CE) for the Stream Restoration project is 7.01 acres in size and starts just south of NC Highway 147, runs parallel to Campus Drive, crosses Campus Drive and ties back in to the receiving waters at Oregon Street (Appendix A, Figures 2.1 and 2.2). The Stream Restoration project is approximately 1.5 miles from the proposed stream impacts associated with the Duke University water reclamation pond. The Stream Restoration project is located within the Cape Fear River Basin USGS Hydrologic Unit 03030002 (USGS 1974), local watershed 14-digit basin 03030002060110, and the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (DWR) sub -basin 03-06-05. The unnamed tributary flows directly into Sandy Creek (DWR stream index number of 16-41-1- 11) approximately 2.5 miles downstream of the project terminus. The drainage area of the unnamed tributary is approximately 141 acres at the downstream end. Based on a detailed watershed analysis, approximately 27 percent (39 acres) of the watershed area is impervious. The Stream Restoration project is located within the Piedmont Physiographic Province of North Carolina. A review of the Ecoregions of North Carolina and South Carolina (Griffith et al., 2002) shows the geology of the Stream Restoration project is comprised of quaternary to tertiary red sandy loam to silty clay decomposition residuum, sandstone, conglomerate, mudstone, shale, coal, dikes, and sills within the Triassic Basin. There are currently no agricultural croplands or activities within the watershed; however, there was stream channelization and relocation associated with the sanitary sewer line installation adjacent to the unnamed tributary. 1.2 Project Goals and Objectives The purpose of this Stream and Vegetation Monitoring Year 2 report is to assess the Stream Restoration project in order to determine restoration success. The monitoring plan to evaluate the success of the Site is based the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Stream Mitigation Guidelines (April, 2003) and the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) Monitoring Requirements and Performance Standards for Stream and/or Wetland Mitigation (November, 2011). Monitoring of the Site will occur annually for seven (7) full years. Construction of the Stream Restoration project occurred in the summer of 2013. During the month of November 2013, riparian buffer restoration activities began following construction of the restored active stream channel. Riparian buffer restoration activities included planting trees and staking vegetation plots within the CE. The goal of the stream restoration project is to modify the dimension, pattern, and profile of the channel so that a stable and self - maintaining channel is created by utilizing natural channel design techniques and procedures. The design was developed utilizing Rosgen-based natural channel design principles (Rosgen, 1996). Preventing future stream bank erosion will be accomplished by fulfilling the following general objectives: 1) Conversion of approximately 3,459 linear feet of the tributary from an eroding, degraded channel to a natural, stable system with restored aquatic habitat. 2 MCADAS 2) Reduction of sediment loading to a river system that flows into Jordan Lake - a recreational water body. 3) Establishment of a riparian corridor that has a restored floodplain, aquatic, and morphological functions which provide habitat connectivity to the area and will be protected in perpetuity. The following specific objectives will allow the restoration plan to succeed in obtaining the project's goal: 1) Design a channel with the appropriate cross -sectional dimension, pattern, and longitudinal profile utilizing the existing channel condition survey, and collected reference reach data as a guide. 2) Improve upon and create bedform and aquatic habitat diversity (riffles, runs, pools, and glides). 3) Create a nested floodplain (bankfull bench) that will be accessible at the proposed bankfull channel elevation along the entire reach. 4) Ensure channel and stream bank stabilization by integrating in -channel grade control structures, and native vegetation into the proposed restoration design while also creating a stable and functional aquatic and terrestrial habitat. 5) Establish a native forested riparian plant community within a minimum of 50 feet from the proposed top of the bankfull channel along with the removal of exotic vegetation during construction implementation and the elimination of current embankment maintenance practices. 2.0 Channel Stability Assessment Stream geometry will be considered successful if the geometry, profile, and sinuosity are stable or reach a dynamic equilibrium. It is expected that there will be minimal changes in the designed cross sections, profile, and/or substrate composition. Changes that may occur during the monitoring period will be evaluated to determine if they represent a movement toward a more unstable condition (e.g. down cutting, or bank erosion) or are minor changes that represent an increase in stability (e.g. settling, vegetative changes, coarsening of bed material, etc.). Deviation from the design ratios will not necessarily denote failure as it is possible to maintain stability and not stay within the design geometry. Channel stability will be reflected in the surveyed permanent cross -sections, longitudinal profile, evaluation of bank stability and cover, evaluation of in -stream structure performance and to a lesser degree pebble counts compared to the as -built and any previously collected monitoring data. The general trend should reflect a stable or slightly decreasing riffle cross - sectional area whereas pools may increase and yet be considered relatively stable. The longitudinal profile will typically adjust depending on the frequency of bankfull or greater storm events. Normally the constructed channel profile will adjust (especially in a sand dominated bed) but it will need to function without significant degradation (bed scour), aggradation (mid -channel bars), or bank erosion. The Bank Height Ratio (BHR) shall not exceed 1.2 and the Entrenchment Ratio shall be no less than 2.2. The stream shall remain stable over seven years, through two bankfull events, as indicated by visual surveys, cross -sections, and bank pins. If monitoring (including vegetation) demonstrates success by year five (5) a proposal can be issued by the Owner to terminate monitoring of the site. 2 2 MCADAMS 2.1 Cross Sections The stream geometry is considered to be successful if the cross - section geometry, profile, and sinuosity are stable or reach a dynamic equilibrium. It is expected there will be minimal changes in the designed cross sections, profile, and /or substrate composition. Changes that may occur during the monitoring period were evaluated to determine if they represent a movement toward a more unstable condition (e.g. down cutting, erosion, mid- channel bars, etc.) or are minor changes that represent an increase in stability (e.g. settling, vegetative changes, coarsening of bed material, etc.). Deviation from the design ratios will not necessarily denote failure, as it is possible to maintain stability and not stay within the design geometry. Morphological data will be collected and reported in years 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7. Morphological data used for this report was collected on October 29 and 30, 2015 and is shown in Appendix B. 2.2 Pebble Counts The composition of the streambed and banks is an important facet of stream character, influencing channel form and hydraulics, erosion rates, sediment supply, and other parameters. The most efficient basic technique in measuring the streambed and banks is the pebble count method. This requires measuring individuals along a cross section and tallying the particle size based on class or category. Pebble counts were conducted to determine bed particle size distribution at each riffle cross section (Cross Sections 1, 3, 6, and 9). Pebble Counts will be conducted and reported in years 1, 2, 3, 5; and 7. Pebble count data used for this report was collected on November 18, 2015 and is shown in Appendix B. 2.3 Longitudinal Profile The longitudinal profile will be surveyed in years 1 and 7. The longitudinal profile was not surveyed as part of Monitoring Year 2 field assessment. 2.4 Crest Stage Gauge Indicators of overbank flow were observed within Stream Restoration project during the Monitoring Year 2 field assessment. A Crest Stage Gauge (CSG) was installed during Monitoring Year 1 field activities to document bankfull events. The CSG was installed at Station 15-57 near Vegetation Plot 5 (Appendix A, Figures 2.1 and 2.2) and a photograph of the CSG is provided in Appendix G. CSG measurements will be conducted and reported in all years of monitoring. On October 30, 2015, data was acquired from the CSG and it was determined that a bankfull event occurred during 2015 which read a depth of 2.4 feet. There was a 2.46-inch rainfall event on October 3, 2015 according to the NC-DH-6 Durham 1.2 NW Station of the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail & Snow Network. The NC-DH-6 Durham 1.2 NW Station recorded a total of 7.88 inches of rain for the 10-day period from September 25 to October 4, 2015. Table 1, below, provides a list of bankfull events.

The bank pins were installed so that they can be measured over time in order to observe changes in the stream bank profile. Bank pin measurements can then be used to estimate rates of erosion and sediment loading. Bank pin measurements will be conducted and reported in years 1, 2, 3, 5. and 7. Bank pin data used for this report was collected on October 30 and November 3, 2015 and is shown in Appendix B. 2.6 Channel Stability Assessment Summary Overall, the stream system appears stable and is not migrating toward lateral or vertical instability. Based on the As -Built comparison using morphological data, it appears that minor systemic aggradation has occurred within the reach. This condition does not appear to pose an imminent threat to the overall stability of the system. 3.0 Vegetation Condition and Comparison The primary focus of the vegetative monitoring will be solely on the tree stratum, although shrub and herbaceous species encountered may also be recorded. Vegetation planting success criteria will be based on the survival of a minimum density of 320 trees per acre (to include both planted and existing trees) after three (3) years of monitoring. After five (5) years of monitoring, the density shall be no less than 260 trees per acre (to include both planted and existing trees). After seven (7) years of monitoring, the density shall be no less than 210 trees per acre (to include both planted and existing trees). In addition, planted vegetation must average 10 feet in height in each plot at year seven (7). Vegetation plots will be sampled and reported in years 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7. If the height standard is met and the stem density is trending toward success after five (5) years of monitoring, monitoring of vegetation on the site may be terminated provided written approval is provided by the USACE and NCDWQ. 3.1 Vegetation Monitoring Plots All vegetation monitoring methodologies followed the most current templates and guidelines provided by DMS (EEP, 2010; EEP, 2011). Baseline vegetation monitoring was conducted in accordance to CVS-EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation (CVS-EEP, V4.2). All six (6) vegetation monitoring plots installed by McAdams were located in Monitoring Year 2. Figures 2.1 and 2.2 (Appendix A) depict the location of the vegetation monitoring plots. Plant species, density, survival rates, and the cause of mortality, if identifiable, were recorded within each vegetation monitoring plot. Table 1 (Appendix C) provides a success summary for each vegetation monitoring plot. In Monitoring Year 2, the Stream Restoration project had six (6) vegetation monitoring plots encompassing 0.1483 acres, containing 74 planted stems, which yielded a density of 499 planted stems per acre. Monitoring Year 2 field activities were conducted on November 3, 2015. The planted vegetation survival threshold was met for all six (6) vegetation monitoring plots. Table 2 (Appendix C) provides a stem count total and planted stem total by each individual vegetation plot. Table 3 (Appendix C) provides a summary of only planted stem counts as compared to planted stem counts of the As Built. 3.2 Vegetation Monitoring Plot Photos and Data Sheets Vegetation monitoring plots were photographed and are located in Appendix D. Vegetation Monitoring Plot Data Sheets are provided in Appendix E. Each Vegetation Monitoring Plot 4 �1 MCADAMS Data Sheet provides measurements, location, and vigor of each planted species within a respective vegetation monitoring plot. 4.0 Invasive Species Monitoring Construction of the Stream Restoration project required disturbing land within the CE resulting in the creation of a highly disturbed early successional ecological system that contains young tree saplings and shrubs species in addition to naturally occurring early emergent vegetative species. Over time, tree saplings and shrubs species mature and proliferate while naturally occurring early emergent vegetative species dwindle. The new, highly disturbed early successional ecological system created during the construction of Stream Restoration project resulted in prime habitat for many invasive species that were known to occur within the CE prior to construction activities, in addition to the surrounding areas (Invasive Species Management Plan, May, 2014). It is understood that naturally occurring early emergent vegetative species will thrive within the CE during the early years of the Stream Restoration project. The early emergent vegetative species can be aggressive and have characteristics of an invasive species; however, they are generally accepted as part of a naturally occurring ecological system. Therefore, a definition of what is an invasive species is warranted. Invasive Species are defined as non-native alien species that have the potential to negatively affect the environment. These species occupy habitat within the riparian buffer and outcompete and suppress native vegetation, thereby inhibiting both the establishment and natural succession of the native riparian community. Considerable effort was made to remove the vast majority of the observed invasive species populations during the construction phase of the Stream Restoration project by both mechanical and chemical means. Although considerable effort was made to remove the invasive plants species from within the CE, remnant populations of these invasive species were recorded in a post construction site visit conducted in May, 2014. Future treatment is likely to be required for the observed invasive species, but additional invasive species may expand the list. As part of the Monitoring Year 2 stream and vegetation monitoring efforts, invasive species monitoring and management was also conducted (Appendix F, Spring 2015 Treatment at Sandy Creek Campus Drive; May 12, 2015, and Fall 2015 Treatment at Sandy Creek Campus Drive report; September 3, 2015). Invasive species monitoring efforts included recording the approximate location and extent of infestation as noted in figures attached to each Spring and Fall 2015 Treatment reports (Appendix F). A list of invasive species found during Monitoring Year 2 activities is provided below. It was determined that the northern section of the project contained the largest amount of invasive plants, while the central and southern sections were relatively clean of invasive plants. All species were treated with herbicide as indicated within the Spring and Fall 2015 Treatment reports (Appendix F). Continued monitoring and prescribed treatments are recommended by a registered landscape contractor or a certified plant professional is provided. List of Monitoring Year 2 Invasive Species — Fall Treatment Ampelopsis brevipedunculata (porcelain berry) Lonicera japonica (Japanese honeysuckle) Hedera helix (English ivy) Ligustrum sinese (Chinese privet) Ligustrum japonicum (Japanese privet) (:elastrus orbuculatus (oriental bittersweet) 'J Mc DAMS Pueraria montana (kudzu) Wisteria sinensis (Chinese wisteria) 5.0 Photo Stations Photo documentation is essential to monitoring the success the Bank Parcel. Photos provide a visual assessment of the vegetation conditions. Photo documentation will be provided and reported in all years of monitoring. All nine (9) photo stations installed by McAdams were located in Monitoring Year 2. Figures 2.1 and 2.2 (Appendix A) depict the locations of the photo stations. Photographs were taken at high resolution using an Olympus FE-115 5.0 megapixel digital camera. Photographs for the photo stations are located in Appendix G. 6 2 MCADAMS 6.0 References Lee Michael T., Peet Robert K., Roberts Steven D., and Wentworth Thomas R., 2008.

One possible explanation for "missing' species is due to thick herbaceous growth obscurring the species from identification during Monitoring Year 2. Therefore, it is possilbe "missing" species could grow larger than the herbaceous layer and allow for their identification and measurment in subsequent monitoring years. In addition, species which were deemed "dead" could survive in subsequent years because the species may have gone dormant at the time of monitoring while the roots of the species are surviving below ground. Therefore, in subsequent years the species could grow under more favorable conditions.

An initial assessment of the species encountered was conducted and the following species were encountered within the buffer: Lonicera japonica (Japanese Honeysuckle), Hedera helix (English Ivy), Ligustrum sinense (Chinese Privet), Ligustrum japonicum (Japanese Privet), Pueraria montana (Kudzu), and Wisteria sinensis (Chinese Wisteria). A previously untreated population of Celastrus orbuculatus (Oriental bittersweet) was found in the south easement and scattered populations were seen throughout the buffer. All species encountered were treated with herbicide. As noted in previous visits, large populations of invasive species were located outside the buffer and encroachment of invasives will continue until these populations are addressed. A site map with approximate locations of the invasive populations, as well as pesticide application reports, is included with this report.

An initial assessment of the species encountered was conducted and the following species were encountered within the buffer: Ampelopsis brevipedunculata (Porcelain berry), Lonicera japonica (Japanese Honeysuckle), Hedera helix (English Ivy), Ligustrum sinense (Chinese Privet), Ligustrum japonicum (Japanese Privet), Celastrus orbuculatus (Oriental Bittersweet), Pueraria montana (Kudzu), and Wisteria sinensis (Chinese Wisteria). A previously unnoted population of Ampelopsis brevipedunculata was found in the north easement and scattered populations were seen throughout the buffer. North Section The northern section of the project was where most of the invasive species were found. There were large populations of Wisteria repopulating the top right buffer of the north section of the project. A significant number of seedlings of Ampelopsis brevipedunculata was found on both the left and right buffers, predominantly on the floodplain bench. Pueraria was found along the bottom right as well as the middle left of the buffer. Elaeagnus, Ligustrum and Hedera seedlings were noted in small numbers throughout the buffer.
