Project No. 2014-0090 v.2
Mr. Brumagin:
As you are aware, the Department has monitored the UT to Fisher Branch Site since construction
was completed in March 1, 2018. The site is located in Forsyth County and was constructed as a
part of the U-2579B Winston-Salem Northern Beltway TIP project.
The UT to Fisher Branch Site is located on the Winston-Salem Northern beltway eastern section
just south of Hastings Mill Road. Construction was completed in March 2018 and site
reforestation was completed March 1, 2018. The site provides 490 linear feet of stream restoration
to offset impacts associated with the U-2579B project. Per the permit requirements, NCDOT was
required to visually monitor the stream mitigation site for channel stability and vegetative success
on an annual basis for five years or until success criteria were met.
During the monitoring period, annual monitoring reports were submitted to the appropriate
regulatory agencies via the Environmental Analysis Unit (EAU) website:
https:llconnect.ncdot.gov/resources/Environmental/EAU/Monitoring-StewardshipIPa esldefault.aspx
After five years of vegetation and stream stability monitoring, UT to Fisher Branch Site stream
restoration site indicate that the planted vegetation is surviving and the stream remains stable.
Individual annual monitoring reports are available on EAU'S website for 2018-2022.

During the 2022 NCDOT annual monitoring meeting, it was determined that the site success
criteria had been met and that no further monitoring would be required. NCDOT requests that
the appropriate resource agencies provide documentation stating that no further monitoring is
required and that the site is closed. If you have any questions about this project, please contact
Mr. Randy Griffin at [phone].
