Rock Bridge Development Prepared by: ,., ~ n. ~'~ ~°' 7a;.Y' .~ of ,~' r~~~ L1~NR . ~~A~~~N~,~~~ ,~A,q(zGH ~~ ~~D 4 PO Box 882 Canton, NC 28716 The project site, known as Rock Bridge is located off Hemphill Road in ' Haywood County, NC. Latitude and longitude for the site are 35.5635723 N and 83.0446220 W, respectively. The site is located within the Dellwood USGS Topo Quad (See Attachment A). To access the site from Asheville, take I-40 west to ' exit 20. Head south on Jonathan Creek Road N 3 miles. Turn right onto State Route 1321. Take the next left onto Grindstone Rd. Follow Grindstone 1 mile turning right onto Hemphill Rd. The site is 2000' further on the right. Blue Sky Communities, Inc. is proposing to restore 100 linear feet of stream that had previously been impacted during construction of a bridge and .03 acres ' of wetland impact. The restoration is in response to a Notice of Violation issued by the Division of Water Quality. The restoration will include installing one cross vane, adding proper dimension and profile to the channel, reestablishment of ' native streambank vegetation, and restoration of the existing wetland back to its original functioning form. Existing Site Conditions Hemphill Creek originates on the Cataloochee Divide near the Great Smoky Mountain National Park Boundary. It is a third order tributary to Jonathan Creek which flows into the Pigeon River and then into the French Broad. From the Rock Bridge site, Hemphill Creek drains a 6.1 sq. mile watershed (see Attachment A). At this point Hemphill Creek enters a broad Type VII valley with an existing floodplain and alluvial deposititon. Hemphill Creek at the Rock Bridge site becomes a Cob Rosgen stream type with an entrenchment ratio of 10.53, width to depth ratio of 14, and sinuosity is 1.0 (see Attachment B). Hemphill Creek has been altered over the years due to agricultural practices. The creek throughout this valley has been relocated and straightened to accommodate agriculture. This straightening has increased gradient to 3.5%; therefore increasing sheer stress on banks. Hemphill Creek consists of larger gravel and cobble throughout this reach. During construction of a bridge over Hemphill Creek, some channel substrate was removed from a 100' reach (see Figures 1-4). The dimension of the stream was also altered to support the bridge. Existing soil and plant material were removed from a .03 acre section of a wetland on site (see Figures 5-7). Both impacts lead to a Notice of Violation from the Division of Water Quality. The following restoration plan will address this violation. Precipitation According to the PRISM maps (see Attachment C) maintained by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this area of Haywood County receives approximately 54-66 inches of rain annually. Excess water that falls as precipitation must leave the site as ground water flow, surface sheet flows, channelized surface flow, or deep water seepage. Soils ' The project site is located within the mountain physiographic region of North Carolina. Soils series present on site include Statler loam and Cullowhee-Nikwasi complex. Statler loam soils are present on moderately steep well drained soils having a slope of 1 to 5 percent. Parent material consists of loamy alluvium. Cullowhee Nikwasi soils are found on floodplains that are frequently flooded. Soils are poorly drained and usually on slopes of 0 to 2 percent. Parent material ' consitsts of loamy alluvium over sandy and gravelly alluvium (see Attachment D). ' Reference Reach The reference reach for this site was 300' downstream of the violation on Hemphill ' Creek. This stable reach of similar size was used to emulate proper dimension and profile for the restoration and enhancement of the 100' section of Hemphill Creek that had previously been disturbed (Attachment E). i Restoration Plan ' Blue S Communities Inc. lans to restore the 100' section of Hem hill Creek kY p p back to its original dimension and restore the impacted wetland. The goals of the ' project are: ' 1. Restore natural dimension and profile. 2. Stabilize banks and reduce erosion. 3. Create and preserve a riparian buffer with permanent native vegetation. ' 4. Create aquatic habitat and complexity. 5. Restore the impacted wetland back to original state. Construction Plan and Specifications ' Construction activities will include construction of a cross vane just downstream of the bridge to hold grade and redirect flow away from the banks. Proper dimension and profile will be administered to this 100' section of stream based on reference reach conditions. Banks will be resloped and matted with geotextile fabric (see typical). The streambanks will then be heavily planted to ensure ' stability. Substrate will be added to mimic conditions downstream. The existing 0.03 acres of impacted wetland will be filled and reseeded with a wetland seed mix. Approximately 150 cubic yards of fill will be used to fill the existing ditch. i Across vane will be used to provide grade control, keep the thalweg in the center of the channel, provide access to the floodplain, and protect the banks. The cross vane will be constructed as if it is two single vanes with a center structure perpendicular to the channel flow. The center stone will set the invert grade of the stream bed. The vane will be oriented upstream with angles off the bank from 20 to 30 ' degrees. It will be located N30 feet downstream of the bridge. The vane will start at bankfull and slope downward into the channel, pointing upstream. Large, ' flat rocks will be used to construct the vane. Slopes on the vanes will range from 2 to 7 percent. Boulders in the vanes will fit tightly together and footer rocks will be utilized to ensure scour does not topple the structures (See Typical with Plans). Planting Plan and Specifications A 30 foot protective buffer on either side of the channel will be included to enhance the project. Vegetation is a key component to the restoration project. The slopes will be planted with appropriate riparian species from an approved list, to recreate the natural buffers that occur on site. Salvaging of onsite plant materials will be utilized to meet the planting objectives. Trees will be planted at an 8 X 8 foot spacing. Plant survival and growth of at least 320 stems/acre through year 3 and 260 stems/acre in year 5 will be considered successful. The objective will be to mimic most of the natural buffer that is on site, which is mainly composed of shrubs and trees. However, warm season grasses will be used, in accordance with the'~Warm Season Grass Establishment and Management in North Carolina and Virginia" provided by the US Fish and Wildlife Service as a temporary planting to aid with soil stabilization. Plant Material Specifications Bare Root or Container (Woody and Herbaceous Material): The plants will either be transplanted on site, ordered as bare root , or purchased in 1-3 quart containers. Upon delivery, the specimens shall appear healthy with no leaf spots, leaf damage, leaf discoloration, chlorosis, leaf wilting or curling, or evidence of insects on leaves or stems. Plants will be planted immediately. If plants cannot be planted immediately, plants will be stored in shade and kept moist in peat moss, mulch, or other suitable material. Container (Woody Material): The soil within the root ball shall be field capacity (1/3 atmosphere) or wetter upon delivery to the job site. Any wilted, dry and/or lightweight plants shall be rejected. Plants shall be planted immediately upon delivery. If not, then they must be stored in shade and root balls kept moist through periodic watering until time of planting. ' If actively growing, plants shall appear healthy with no leaf spots, leaf damage, leaf discoloration, chlorosis, leaf wilting or curling, or evidence of insects on ' leaves. For trees, where spiraling woody roots exist on the outside of the soil/root mass upon the removal of plants from the containers, the landscape contractor shall separate (cutting where necessary) and spread them out prior to planting. Soil Amendments: Soil amendments are required around tree plantings. The amendments used should be leaf or pine bark compost at rates of one part compost to one part soil (from planting hole). A slow release fertilizer or "super phosphate" type fertilizer should be mixed in with soil amendment mix. No surface mulch is required where plants are planted at or near original grade, unless tree shelters are used to promote growth and survival percentage. A 6-inch soil berm will be constructed 12 inches from the outer edge of the root ball to hold water. I Monitorin Plan 9 ' Within 90 days of construction completion, WNR staff will provide the resource agencies with photos of each site and a baseline monitoring report. A monitoring report with photos will be submitted annually for 5 years. WNR will conduct ' monitoring and Blue Sky Communities, Inc will provide the financial assurance that will ensure this project is complete and successful. ' An as-built report will be included with the first annual monitoring report. At least two bankfull events in separate years will be documented within 5 years. ' Otherwise, stream monitoring will continue until two bankfull events have occurred in two separate years. Success will be measured in terms of plant survivability and channel stability. ' Channel Stability ' Channel stability will be measured through cross-sections, longitudinal profiles, and pebble counts; and then compared to previous measurements. A minimum of four permanent cross-sections will be taken per 1,000 linear feet of stream ' representing 50% pools and 50% riffles. Pebble counts will be performed at each cross section. A longitudinal profile will be conducted to monitor any changes in profile. If the reach is less than 3,000 linear feet, then all 3,000 feet will be ' surveyed. If the reach is greater than 3,000 linear feet, then the profile will include 30% of the restored stream or 3,000 linear feet (whichever is greater). If 1 1 there is substantial evidence of instability, such as down-cutting or erosion, remedial actions will be planned, approved, and implemented. Plant Survival Vegetative success will be measured in terms of plant survival. Plant survival will be measured with stem counts in designated vegetative monitoring plots. Stem counts of at least 320 stems/acre in year 3 and 260 stems/acre in year 5 will be considered successful. Vegetative monitoring plots, 1/10 acre in size, will be set up adjacent to each cross section. Plant survivability will be assessed using these vegetative monitoring plots. If there is substantial plant mortality that leads to lowered stem counts, remedial actions will be taken. Areas with less than 75% vegetation coverage will be re-seeded and/or fertilized; and live stakes and bare rooted trees will be planted to achieve the desired densities. Exotic, invasive, and invader species will be removed so that they will not exceed 20% of the vegetative composition. Photographic Reference Sites Photos will be taken at each cross section as well as monumented reference sites throughout the restoration reach. These photos will indicate aggradation, degradation, and/or bank erosion. If none exists, no remedial action will be required. If aggradation, degradation, and/or bank erosion occurs, the problem will be accessed and remedial actions will be planned, approved, and implemented.
