Dear Mr. Reid:
On February 6, 2023, Wildlands Engineering received comments from the North Carolina Division of
Mitigation Services (DMS) regarding the Draft MY2 Report dated January 17, 2023. The following letter
documents DMS feedback and Wildlands' corresponding responses and revisions to the MY2 Report.
In an effort to identify and resolve property issues early during the monitoring period, please verify
that the conservation easement boundary has been walked, marking and signage is up to spec,
fencing is intact, and no encroachments have been identified.
Response: Throughout the year several portions of the site boundary were visually inspected and during
MY3 a full boundary inspection will be completed.
Title Page: Please include "Date of Issue: December 17, 2017" following the RFP number.
Response: The date of issue has been included.
Thank you for providing the supplemental planting table summarizing the March 2022 replant effort
in the appendix. Please do the same thing for the supplemental planting planned for winter 2023.
Response: The supplemental planting planed for winter 2023 is included in Appendix F under the IRT
Correspondence — Bug Headwaters Planting. Wildlands included page breaks in Appendix F to clarify the
different supplemental plantings.
Remedial actions are planned for several stream problem areas noted in section 2.3 and 2.4. Please
provide an update in the MY3 report regarding the completed work. Additional photos would be
helpful.
Response: Wildlands will include an update and photos in the MY3 report.
Stream photo points were taken on 4/12/2022. Recommend taking photos later in the monitoring
season. Preferably after leaf off in the fall to better represent the site conditions for the current
monitoring year.
Response: Based on previous IRT comments, Wildlands attempts to take the stream photos in the spring
before vegetation covers the stream. Wildlands feels that small streams will still be covered by
WWildlands Engineering, Inc. (P) 919.851.9986 • 312 West Millbrook Road, Suite 225 • Raleigh, NC 27609
herbaceous vegetation in the fall, even after leaf off has occurred. Wildlands walks the Site at least
quarterly and before reports are submitted to ensure any issues that arise are reported accurately.
Cross -Section Plots: Majority of cross-section plots do not start and stop on same points. The 2016 IRT
Mitigation Update specifies that cross sections be permanent. Are permanent cross sections
(concrete, rebar, etc.) installed on the site? Are cross sections manually adjusted for overlays?
Response: Permanent cross -sections are installed across the Site with concrete and rebar marking them.
However, based on previous IRT comments wanting consistent X axis across reaches, Wildlands set up
the X and Y axis at consistent intervals that zoom into the cross-section to an appropriate extent. While
trying to maintain consistent intervals, the end rebar may not be shown in the plot but is shown in the
raw data.
cross -Section Plots: Please turn off the line markers for MYO and MY1 sections.
Response: Due to the limited user functionality Wildlands has with Shiny Apps, Wildlands does not have a
way to turn off the line markers for MYO and MY1 sections.
Electronic Deliverables
No comments for draft deliverables. Please update final deliverables based on comments.
Response: The MY2 report is updated based on DMS comments.
Thank you for your review and providing comments on this submittal. If you have any further questions,
please contact me at (919) 851-9986, or by email (jlorch@wildlandseng.com).

Section 1: PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Bug Headwaters Mitigation Site (Site) is located in Wilkes County, approximately 9.5 miles
northwest of the Town of Elkin. The Site is on two adjacent row crop and livestock farms in the foothills
of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It is near the border of the piedmont and mountain physiographic region
but is technically in the piedmont. Table 3 presents information related to the project attributes.
1.1 Project Quantities and Credits
The Site is located on two parcels under 2 different landowners and a conservation easement was
recorded on 22.50 acres. Mitigation work within the Site included restoration, enhancement I, and
enhancement II of perennial and intermittent stream channels. Table 1 below shows stream credits by
reach and the total amount of stream credits expected at closeout.

Bug Headwaters Mitigation Site
460 Monitoring Year 2 Annual Report - Final 1-3
1.3 Project Attributes
The Site includes the headwaters of Big Bugaboo Creek. All project reaches and the majority of the
watershed areas are contained within two farms, the larger of which is owned by Horace Randle Wood
while the smaller is owned by Gaye Swaim. Mr. Wood has owned the property and used it exclusively to
graze cattle since 2012. His property was historically used for grazing cattle though tobacco was also
cultivated on small sections of the property. Prior to construction, the Wood property remained mostly
non -forested cattle pasture with cattle having access to all surface waters on the property other than a
pond just below the confluence of Big Bugaboo Creek and UT2 and short reaches of both of these
streams just upstream of the pond. Cattle access had severely degraded a majority of the streams. The
Swaim property has been in the family for over 60 years and had primarily been used for row crop
agriculture. Prior to construction, it was used to cultivate corn and soybeans. There was an in -line pond
on the Swaim property that received heavy sediment loads whenever the fields were tilled due to the
absence of a vegetated buffer around the pond. The remaining portions of the watershed outside of the
Wood and Swaim properties are mostly cleared and used for pasture and row crops, although there is a
pocket of forested area on the southeastern side of the watershed and wooded riparian corridors are
present on the far upstream and downstream ends of the Site. Table 3 below and Table 8 in Appendix C
present additional information on pre -restoration conditions.

Monitoring Year 2 Annual Report - Final 1-5
Section 2: Monitoring Year 2 Data Assessment
Annual monitoring and site visits were conducted during MY2 to assess the condition of the project. The
vegetation and stream success criteria for the Site follow the approved success criteria presented in the
Mitigation Plan (Wildlands, 2020). Performance criteria for vegetation, stream, and hydrologic
assessment are located in Section 1.2 Table 2: Goals, Performance Criteria, and Functional
Improvements. Methodology for annual monitoring is presented in the MYO Annual Report (Wildlands,
2021).
2.1 Vegetative Assessment
The MY2 vegetative survey was completed in August 2022. Vegetation monitoring resulted in a stem
density range of 40 to 607 planted stems per acre. Out of the 15 vegetation plots, 11 are meeting the
interim requirement of 320 stems per acre required at MY3. Fixed vegetation plot 12 and random
vegetation plot 15, both located along UT3's former pond bottom, are failing to meet the interim
requirement of 320 stems per acre required at MY3, with only 121 and 40 planted stems per acre
surviving. Random vegetation plot 14, located along the right floodplain of Big Bugaboo Creek's former
pond bottom, has a planted stem density of 40 stems per acre. While vegetation plot 3 is currently not
meeting the interim success criteria with 283 stems per acre, it is on track to meet the final success
criteria of 210 stems per acre.
The dense herbaceous vegetation overtopped the planted trees, making random vegetation plots
considerably difficult to conduct along the right floodplain of UT3 and Big Bugaboo Creek Reach 3 in
August. However, after the first frost and some herbaceous vegetation went dormant, four additional
random vegetation plots were conducted in late October 2022. Vegetation plots 16 and 17 were along
UT3, while vegetation plots 18 and 19 were along Big Bugaboo Creek Reach 3. There was a considerable
increase in the number of trees and species found in the resampled area compared to the original
vegetation plots collected in August 2022. In October 2022, the stem density ranged from 162 to 364
planted stems per acre, while only 40 planted stems per acre were found in August 2022. It is suspected
that as the planted trees continue to grow, the herbaceous vegetation will be suppressed, making it
easier to find trees in the following years.
Herbaceous vegetation is also abundant across the Site and includes native pollinator species, indicating
a healthy riparian habitat. The riparian habitat is helping to reduce nutrient runoff from the cattle fields
outside the easement and stabilizing the stream banks. Refer to Appendix A for Vegetation Plot
Photographs and the Vegetation Condition Assessment Table, and Appendix B for Vegetation Plot Data.
2.2 Vegetation Areas of Concern and Management
Wildlands submitted the MY1 Report describing the high densities and sitewide distribution of the non-
native invasive species, Murdannia keisak, on the Site and planned efforts to address those areas.
Murdannia keisak was documented across all stream channels and was documented within most
wetland areas, totaling 23% of the total easement area. In the summer of 2022, Wildlands contracted
invasive species treatments for the Murdannia keisak across the Site. Treatments consisted of foliar
applications using 5% aquatic glyphosate plus non-ionic surfactant. A total of three treatments were
completed, with two treatments in wetland areas and the last treatment focused only on in -stream
occurrences. These treatments were effective, especially in -stream, but resulted in an excess of
collateral damage of native species on streambanks and in some wetland areas. However, Murdannia
keisak still heavily persists in the wetlands. Currently, in -stream occurrences have dwindled to minimal
coverage, but is expected to resprout next year. After discussions with North Carolina Internal Review
Team (NCIRT) and DMS during the August 16th Site Walk, the NCIRT acknowledges that it may be
VBug Headwaters Mitigation Site
Monitoring Year 2 Annual Report - Final 2-1
impossible to eradicate Murdannia keisak from the Site. Due to the significant collateral damage the
chemical treatment caused to the desirable native vegetation along the streambanks and wetland areas,
the NCIRT suggested Wildlands should not treat Murdannia keisak if it is not affecting stream flow or
woody stem establishment. The NCIRT also suggested planting more live stakes and juncus plugs along
the affected stream channels in the upcoming year for bank stabilization and to provide a canopy to
shade streams and reduce thermal loadings.
In March 2022, supplemental planting occurred along 1.75 acres in the former pond bottoms along the
right floodplain of Big Bugaboo Creek Reach 3 and both floodp.lains of UT3 (Figure lb-c). Due to a
continuously inundated floodplain originating from an off -site wetland seep, only water tolerant live
stakes were planted on the right floodplain of UT3. Bare roots were planted along the right floodplain of
Big Bugaboo Creek Reach 3 and left floodplain of UT3. A table summarizing the March 2022
supplemental planting effort is located in Appendix F.
In the winter of 2023, Wildlands will supplementally plant 1.55 (Figure la-c) acres to improve stem
density in areas that were either affected by the Murdannia keisak treatment or had tree mortality due
to herbaceous vegetation competition. Refer to Appendix F for more information on the approved
supplemental planting. Four additional random vegetation plots will be implemented in the upcoming
monitoring years to assess the supplemental planting.
After further discussions with the NCIRT, Wildlands will wait for another growing season to assess
vegetation conditions on the UT3 right floodplain. After additional transects were completed in October,
the live stakes that were planted in MY1 seem to be growing better than expected. It is currently
unknown if the live stakes will continue to survive in the inundated conditions, or if an alternative
success criterion will be needed.
Additional fencing was installed outside the conservation easement along Big Bugaboo Creek Reach 3 to
accommodate a request from the landowner.
2.3 Stream Assessment
Morphological surveys for MY2 were conducted in May 2022. Pools that had begun to fill in with
sediment from heavy rains before vegetation was established across the Site are starting to show signs
of the excess sediment flushing through the system. All streams within the Site are stable and
functioning as designed except a few small areas. 16 of 18 cross -sections at the Site show little to no
change in the bankfull area and width -to -depth ratio, and bank height ratios are less than 1.2. Cross-
section 9, an Enhancement I section along Big Bugaboo Reach 4, indicates toe erosion on the right side
of the stream bank. Remedial actions are planned for this area and is further described below in Section
2.4. Cross-section 13, along UT2 Reach 5, indicates some incision starting to form due to riffle material
washing away. The bank height ratio increased from 1.00 in MY1 to 1.32 in MY2. The cross -sectional
area also increases from 1.51 in MY1 to 2.49 in MY2. Cross-section 13 will continue to be monitored but
is not an area of concern. Pebble count data is no longer required per the September 29, 2021 Technical
Work Group Meeting, and is not included in this report. The IRT reserves the right to request pebble
count data/particle distributions if deemed necessary during the monitoring period. Refer to Appendix A
for the Visual Stream Morphology Stability Assessment Table and Stream Photographs and Appendix C
for Stream Geomorphology Data.
2.4 Stream Areas of Concern and Management
Due to frequent high velocity flow events over the course of the year, riffle material washed out in
several riffles along Big Bugaboo Creek Reach 1, UT1, and UT2 Reach 2-5. The riffles are being closely
monitored and are being considered for repair.
Bug Headwaters Mitigation Site
460 Monitoring Year 2 Annual Report - Final 2-2
Out of the nearly 8,000 linear feet of stream bank along Big Bugaboo Creek, a small, isolated section of
176 linear feet is experiencing toe erosion along the Enhancement I section of Big Bugaboo Reach 4.
Cross-section 9 survey gives a snapshot of the toe erosion along Big Bugaboo Creek Reach 4. This is only
2.2% of the stream banks along Big Bugaboo Creek and 1.0% of stream banks across the Site. The cause
of the bank erosion is a combination of minimal vegetation due to collateral damage from the
Murdannia keisak treatment, frequent high velocity flow events over the course of the year, and one log
sill eroding around the side. Rainfall was above average for the second half of the year, which along with
a lack of vegetative stream banks after Murdannia keisak treatment, contributed to erosion. Mechanical
equipment will most likely need to be used to repair this Enhancement I section of stream during MY3.
Refer to Figure 1c and Appendix A for a photo log.
There is 28 linear feet of incision that happened over the course of the year along the Enhancement II
section of UT2A Reach 1. This is only 2% of the stream channels along UT2A and 0.3% of the stream
channels across the Site. This particular area was left untouched during construction but will most likely
be mechanically repaired while equipment is on Site. Refer to Figure 1a and Appendix A for a photo log.
Along with the supplemental planting, Wildlands will be supplementing live stakes along the
streambanks in winter 2023.
2.5 Hydrology Assessment
Bankfull events were recorded on Big Bugaboo Reach 3 and Reach 4, UT2 Reach 5, and UT3. All channels
also recorded bankfull events during MY1 and are on track to meet the final hydrologic success criteria
of four bankfull events in separate years.
In addition, the presence of baseflow must be documented on intermittent reaches (UT1, UT2 Reach 1,
UT2A Reach 2, and UT213) for a minimum of 30 consecutive days during a normal precipitation year. All
intermittent reaches maintained baseflow from January 15T until the final gauge download on October
27 which is 299 consecutive days. Refer to Appendix D for hydrologic data.
2.6 Wetland Assessment
The extent of wetlands will be reverified during MY5 to document wetland acreage was not lost due to
stream restoration. No performance standard is tied to reverification.
2.7 Monitoring Year 2 Summary
Out of the 15 vegetation plots surveyed in August, eleven are exceeding the MY3 interim requirement of
320 planted stems per acre. Additional random vegetation plots were surveyed in October after
herbaceous vegetation went dormant. An increase in stem density was seen across all random
vegetation plots in October compared to the plots surveyed in August. It is expected that as herbaceous
competition is shaded out, stem density will continue to increase. A supplemental planting occurred
along 1.75 acres in the former pond bottoms in March 2022. Multiple, sitewide Murdannia keisak
treatments occurred between May -August 2022. The treatment was not as effective in the wetlands as
it was in the stream channels, however collateral damage to native vegetation was high in some areas.
Wildlands will assess the Site and treat in stream vegetation if stream flow is impacted. An approved
supplemental planting is scheduled for winter 2023 to help stem density in a few of the areas that were
either affected by the Murdannia keisak treatment or had tree mortality due to herbaceous vegetation
competition. Wildlands will wait another year to make assess the vegetation success on the UT3 right
floodplain. Additional fencing was installed along Big Bugaboo Creek Reach 3 outside of the
conservation easement per the landowners request. Out of the 18 cross -sections, 16 are within design
parameters. Cross-section 13 is currently not an area of concern but will continue to be assessed during
subsequent monitoring years. Cross-section 9 will be repaired along with 176 linear feet of toe erosion
Bug Headwaters Mitigation Site
460 Monitoring Year 2 Annual Report - Final 2-3
along Big Bugaboo Reach 4. Since equipment will already be on Site, Wildlands will repair 28 linear feet
of incision along an Enhancement II section of UT2A Reach 1. Bankfull events were documented on all
stream reaches and greater than 30 days of consecutive flow was recorded on all intermittent reaches,
fulfilling MY2 success requirements. Overall, the Site is meeting its goals of preventing excess nutrients
and sediment from entering the Yadkin River tributaries and is on track to meet final success criteria.
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. All raw data supporting the tables and
figures in the appendices are available from DIMS upon request.

Meeting Notes
• Murdannia Treatment Areas
o Since Murdannia is hard to eradicate, several chemical treatments were applied throughout the
spring and summer along the stream and wetland areas.
o Wildlands brought the IRT and DMS to see several different Murdannia treatment areas. Many
desirable wetland species were being established, however, there was significant collateral
damage due to chemical treatments.
o After discussions with the IRT and DMS, the IRT acknowledges that Murdannia may be
impossible to eradicate from the Site. The IRT suggested that Wildlands should not treat
Murdannia if it's not affecting stream flow or woody stem establishment due to the significant
collateral damage the chemical treatment was causing to stream banks and desirable wetland
vegetation.
• Site Wide
o Due to treatment of Murdannia across the Site, there was little stream bank vegetation causing
minor bank erosion. Wildlands will plant more live stakes and juncus plugs along the stream
channels in the upcoming year for bank stabilization and shading to protect the streams for cool
stream credits.
o The IRT requested for Wildlands to retake clear pictures of the stream if our Photo Points and
Cross -Section Photos were overrun with Murdannia. The Photo Points and Cross -Sections
Photos were taken before the Murdannia emerged, with the stream bank and stream flow being
visible. Wildlands will not retake any photos.
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. page 1
Bug Headwaters Mitigation Site
o Wildlands will remove sediment and coir fabric buildup that was seen on a pool in Big Bugaboo
R3.
o Overall, the IRT was happy with in -stream structures throughout the Site.
• Big Bugaboo Pond Bottom
o The Big Bugaboo Reach 3 pond bottom was dry and a variety of herbaceous species thriving with
minimal Murdannia. The replanted area along the pond bottom appeared to be successful and
trees are becoming established.
• UT3 — Pond Bottom
o Wildlands will look into different wetland reference communities to see which target
community is best to use and establish an alternate success criterion for vegetation on the right
side of the pond bottom along UT3.
o An AMP will be issued documenting the requested change of target community, replanting of
the UT3 pond, and any additional replanting in the wetland areas and stream banks where
Murdannia treatment cause collateral damage to woody stem establishment.
• Credit Release
o Kim stated that she did not see any reason MY1 credit release would be held up and there
would be a full release since the project is early in monitoring and an AMP for IRT concerns is
forthcoming.

Thanks Jeff. I'll pass this along to the IRT for their records. Please make sure you put some random veg plots or transects
in the re -planting areas along Big Bugaboo, UT2 and UT3.

Subject: [URL Verdict: Neutral][Non-DoD Source] Bug Headwaters Follow Up
Kim - This is a follow up to our November 4th call. Wildlands is proposing to do a supplemental planting at Bug
Headwaters to help stem density in a few areas that were either affected by the Murdannia treatment or had tree
mortality due to herbaceous vegetation competition. We are purposing to plant 1.55 acres (8% of original planting)
along Big Bugaboo Creek, UT2, and UT3. This falls under the 20% threshold, so no adaptive management plan should be
needed. Attached is a figure and three different planting zones based on the conditions of the Site. The Murdannia
treated areas are labeled as Zone 1. Trees being planted are bare roots and catered towards a wetland community type.
The area along UT1 (Zone 2) is being outcompeted by pasture grasses and is high on the floodplain. Ring sprays will
occur in MY3. Zone 3, old pond bottom along Big Bugaboo Creek, has dense rice cutgrass overtopping the planted trees.
Due limited sourcing availability, Wildlands proposes to do a combination of whips and bare roots to help reduce
herbaceous competition. There are no new species proposed beyond what was in the mit plan planting list. Planting
will occur this winter, most likely in January.
Along with the supplemental planting, Wildlands will be supplementing the live stakes along the streambanks.
Wildlands will be holding off for another growing season to make a final decision on the vegetation conditions of the
UT3 right floodplain (we have discussed this with Kim and she agrees). After additional transects were completed in
October, the live stakes that were planted in MY1 seem to be growing better than expected. It is currently unknown if
the live stakes will continue to survive in the inundate conditions or if an alternative success criterion will be needed.
Let me know if you have questions or comments.
