Crooked Creek #2 Restoration Project (94687)
Monitoring Year 7 Annual/Closeout Report ii
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. (Wildlands) completed a design‐bid‐build project at the Crooked Creek #2
Mitigation Site (Site) for the North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) to restore and enhance
5,599 linear feet (LF) of perennial streams, enhance 1.0 acre of existing wetlands, restore and create
10.5 acres of wetlands, and restore and enhance 70,936 square feet (SF) of riparian buffer in Union
County, NC. Per the Mitigation Plan (2013), the Site was proposed to generate 3,242.600 stream
mitigation units (SMUs), 8.4 wetland mitigation units (WMUs), and 1.24 buffer mitigation units (BMU)
for the Goose Creek watershed (Table 1). Due to the presence of “at‐risk” wetland areas observed
during the seven years of post‐construction monitoring, DMS is proposing a revised wetland boundary
for closeout assets. The proposed closeout credit adjustment includes a reduction of WMUs from 8.400
WMUs to 6.950 WMUs. The revised asset table and figures are located in Appendix 1 and 2.
Supplemental wetland data is included in Appendix 6.
The Site is located off NC Highway 218 in the northern portion of Union County, NC in the Yadkin Pee‐
Dee River Basin; eight‐digit Cataloging Unit (CU) 03040105 and the 14‐digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC)
03040105040010 (Figure 1). The project streams consist of two unnamed tributaries (UT) to Crooked
Creek, UT1 and UT2, and two reaches of the Crooked Creek mainstem (Reach A and Reach B) (Figure 2).
Crooked Creek flows into the Rocky River 4 miles northeast of the Site near Love Mill Road at the Stanly
County line. The adjacent land to the streams and wetlands is primarily maintained for agricultural and
residential uses.
The Site is within a Targeted Local Watershed (TLW) in the Lower Yadkin Pee‐Dee River Basin
Restoration Priority Plan (RBRP) (NCEEP, 2009). The Site is also located within the Goose Creek and
Crooked Creek Local Watershed Plan (LWP). The final watershed management plan (WMP) for Goose
Creek and Crooked Creek was completed in July 2012 (NCEEP, 2012). The stressors to watershed
function identified in the WMP were sediment pollution and increases in peak stream flows resulting in
impairments to aquatic habitat and aquatic life. Stream enhancement and restoration were identified as
the best management opportunities to offset these impacts. Other stressors identified included
nonpoint source runoff, degraded terrestrial habitat, and disconnected floodplains. Wetland
enhancement and restoration was also identified as a best management opportunity to offset impacts
related to these stressors. The wetland portion of the project was identified as a specific priority in the
Project Atlas that accompanies the 2012 WMP.
The project goals established in the mitigation plan (Wildlands, 2013) were created with careful
consideration of the goals and objectives described in the RBRP and address stressors identified in the
LWP. The following project goals established include:
Improve wetland hydrologic connectivity;
Decrease sediment input into stream;
Create appropriate terrestrial habitat;
Decrease water temperature and increase dissolved oxygen concentrations; and
Decrease nutrient and adverse chemical levels.
The data presented in this report serves as the seventh and final monitoring year (MY7) and the
closeout report for the Site. Overall, the Site has met the required stream geomorphology, stream
hydrology, and riparian vegetation success criteria for MY7. All restored and enhanced streams are
stable and functioning as designed with cross‐section dimensions exhibiting minimal adjustments
compared to as‐built. The Site met the final bankfull performance criteria in MY4, and all project
streams recorded at least one bankfull event in MY7. UT1 met the intermittent stream requirement 30
consecutive day flow requirement in MY7 and has consistently done so for the past four monitoring
years (MY3 – MY7). The average planted stem density for the Site is 492 stems per acre with all
Crooked Creek #2 Restoration Project (94687)
Monitoring Year 7 Annual/Closeout Report iii
vegetation plots exceeding the final density criteria of 210 stems per acre by greater than 10%. The
average stem height for the Site is 21 feet and exceeds the final height requirement of 10 feet in the
closeout year. The MY7 visual assessments revealed minor areas of concern which included a headcut at
the wetland outlet, a small area of encroachment at the easement boundary and a few pockets invasive
plant species.
Four of the eleven groundwater monitoring gages (GWG) installed on the Site met or exceeded the
hydrologic success criteria for MY7 as well as throughout the post‐construction monitoring period.
Therefore, DMS has modified the wetland boundary proposed for credit on Site to no longer included
high areas with weak hydrology represented near GWGs 4, 10 and 11. Please refer to Appendix 1 for the
original (Table 1) and the revised (Table 1.2) project component and mitigation credit tables and
Appendix 2 for the revised Current Condition Plan View (CCPV) maps.

Section 1: PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Crooked Creek #2 Mitigation Site (Site) is located in the Yadkin Pee‐Dee River Basin; eight‐digit
Cataloging Unit (CU) 03040105 and the 14‐digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03040105040010 (Figure 1).
The Site is located off NC Highway 218 in the northern portion of Union County, NC (Figure 1). Located in
the Carolina Slate Belt of the Piedmont Physiographic Province (USGS, 1998), the project watershed
includes primarily agricultural forested and developed land. The drainage area for the project Site is
24,619 acres. The project streams consist of two streams (Crooked Creek and UT2) that underwent
Stream Enhancement as well as one stream (UT1) which underwent Stream Restoration.
The Site is located within a Targeted Local Watershed (TLW) in the Lower Yadkin Pee‐Dee River Basin
Restoration Priority Plan (RBRP) (NCEEP, 2009). The Site is also located within the Goose Creek and
Crooked Creek Local Watershed Plan (LWP). The final watershed management plan (WMP) for Goose
Creek and Crooked Creek was completed in July 2012 (NCEEP, 2012). The stressors to watershed
function identified in the WMP were sediment pollution and increased peak stream flows resulting in
impairments to aquatic habitat and aquatic life. Stream enhancement and restoration were identified as
the best management opportunities to offset these impacts. Other stressors identified included
nonpoint source runoff, degraded terrestrial habitat, and disconnected floodplains. Wetland
enhancement and restoration was also identified as a best management opportunity to offset impacts
related to these stressors. The wetland portion of the project was identified as a specific priority in the
Project Atlas that accompanies the 2012 WMP.
Prior to construction activities, the streams on the Site had been channelized and the adjacent
floodplain wetland areas had been cleared and ditched to provide drainage for surrounding pasture.
These land use activities resulted in bank instability due to erosion and livestock access, lack of riparian
buffer, and altered hydrology. Stream Incision, lateral erosion, and widening also resulted in degraded
aquatic and benthic habitat, reduction in quality and acreage of riparian wetlands, and lowered
dissolved oxygen levels in the stream. Table 4 in Appendix 1 and Table 11 in Appendix 4 present the
post‐restoration conditions in more detail.
1.1 Project Goals and Objectives
This mitigation Site is intended to provide numerous ecological benefits within the Yadkin Pee‐Dee River
Basin. While many of these benefits are limited to the Crooked Creek project area, others, such as
pollutant removal, reduced sediment loading, and improved aquatic and terrestrial habitat, have
farther‐reaching effects. Expected improvements to water quality and ecological processes are outlined
below as project goals and objectives.
The project goals established in the mitigation plan (Wildlands, 2013) were created with careful
consideration of the goals and objectives described in the RBRP and address stressors identified in the
LWP. The following project goals established include:
Improve wetland hydrologic connectivity;
Decrease sediment input into stream;
Create appropriate terrestrial habitat;
Decrease water temperature and increase dissolved oxygen concentrations; and
Decrease nutrient and adverse chemical levels.
The project objectives have been defined as follows:
Crooked Creek #2 Restoration Project (94687)
Monitoring Year 7 Annual Report 1‐2
• Construct stream channels that will remain relatively stable over time and adequately transport
their sediment loads without significant erosion or aggradation;
• Construct stream channels that maintain riffles with coarse bed material and pools with finer
bed material;
• Provide aquatic and benthic habitat diversity in the form of pools, riffles, woody debris, and in‐
stream structures;
• Add riffle features and structures and riparian vegetation to decrease water temperatures and
increased dissolved oxygen to improve water quality;
• Construct stream reaches so that floodplains and wetlands are frequently flooded to provide
energy dissipation, detain and treat flood flows, and create a more natural hydrologic regime;
• Construct fencing to keep livestock out of the streams;
• Raise local groundwater table through raising stream beds and plugging agricultural drainage
features;
• Perform minor grading in wetland areas as necessary to promote wetland hydrology; and
Plant native tree species to establish appropriate wetland and floodplain communities and
retain existing, native trees where possible.
1.2 Monitoring Year 7 Data Assessment
The following sections present the MY7 data collected between April 2022 and January 2023 to assess
the condition of the project. The success criteria for the Site follows the approved success criteria
presented in the Crooked Creek #2 Project Mitigation Plan (Wildlands, 2013).
1.2.1 Vegetation Assessment
A total of 12 standard 10‐meter by 10‐meter permanent vegetation plots were established during the
baseline monitoring within the project easement area. The final vegetative success criteria are the
survival of 210 planted stems per acre with an average height of 10 feet in each plot in the riparian
corridor along restored and enhanced reaches at the end of the seven‐year monitoring period (MY7).
The MY7 vegetation survey was completed in September 2022 resulting in an average stem density of
492 stems per acre. All 12 vegetation plots individually met the year seven requirement of 210
stems/acre, with an average of 12 stems per plot. All plots except 12 individually meet the 10‐foot
requirement. Plots 12 has an average stem height of 6 feet and is located within the mature canopy of
the Crooked Creek riparian corridor, slowing growth in the plot. The MY7 average stem height for the
Site is 21 feet, exceeding the final height requirement and plots exceed the MY7 stem density
requirement. Please refer to Appendix 2 for vegetation plot photographs and the overall vegetation
condition assessment table. The vegetation data tables are located in Appendix 3. Please refer to
Appendix 6 for the Invasive Species Treatment Logs.
1.2.2 Vegetation Areas of Concern
Generally, the vegetation within the Site is healthy. The native invasive species, cattail (Typha latifolia)
continues to surround vegetation plot 5, but it is not adversely affecting tree growth in the plot. The
colony is established but has not expanded beyond the area adjacent to vegetation plot 5.
The percent of easement area covered in invasive species is at 0.26% of the easement area in MY7.
Since the September 2021 invasive treatments in MY6 there have been very few privet, tree of heaven,
or honeysuckle resprouts observed. These populations are no longer a concern and have been removed
from the CCPV maps. The only invasive population observed on site in MY7 was balloon vine in two
isolated populations present in the late Fall growing season. DMS will continue to treat these invasive
species as needed through closeout.
Crooked Creek #2 Restoration Project (94687)
Monitoring Year 7 Annual Report 1‐3
Previous mowing within the easement during MY5 and MY6 has been resolved with additional easement
signs and a clear marker line connecting the easement signs with white tape. However, a new area of
encroachment involving clearing into the easement from an adjacent landowner occurred during MY7
and DMS is actively corresponding with the landowner to rectify the encroachment and the area is
circled on the MY7 CCPV maps. Refer to Appendix 2 for the vegetation condition assessment table, Area
of concern photographs and the CCPV maps for MY7 areas of concern.
1.2.3 Stream Assessment
The MY7 morphological survey and substrate assessments conducted in April 2022 indicated that UT1
channel dimensions appear stable and functioning as designed. In general, the cross‐sections show only
minor changes in the bankfull area, maximum depth ratio, or width‐to‐depth ratio compared to the
baseline survey. Surveyed riffle cross‐sections and riffle pebble counts continue to fall within the
parameters defined for channels of the appropriate Rosgen stream type (Rosgen, 1996). Refer to
Appendix 2 for the visual stability assessment table, CCPV map, and stream photographs. Refer to
Appendix 4 for the morphological summary data and plots.
1.2.4 Stream Areas of Concern
There were no stream areas of concern for UT1 or UT2 in MY7.
1.2.5 Hydrology Assessment
The stream hydrology success criteria require two bankfull events must occur in separate years within
the seven‐year monitoring period. Although, the stream hydrology success criteria were met in MY2,
bankfull events continue to be recorded on Crooked Creek, UT1, and UT2. Events were verified with
stream gages or visual indicators, such as wrack lines. During MY7 there were 6 bankfull events recorded
on UT1. Wracklines were documented on all stream channels during the Site walk on 4/21/22. In
addition, stream baseflow is being monitored on UT1 and 30 days of consecutive baseflow were
recorded in MY7. Refer to Appendix 5 for hydrologic plots and photographs of documented bankfull
events.
1.2.6 Wetland Assessment
At total of 11 groundwater gages (GWG) have been installed throughout the wetland areas to provide
groundwater level data and one soil temperature probe was installed near GWG2. The target success
criteria for wetland hydrology success consists of a groundwater surface within 12 inches of the ground
surface for 17 consecutive days (7.5 %) of the defined 226 day growing season for Union County (March
23 through November 4) under typical precipitation conditions.
Four of eleven gages meet success criteria in MY7. Generally, the gages that met were located in
Wetland Restoration Zone A away from the left floodplain of UT1: GWG3 (36 days,15.9%), GWG6 (44
days, 19.4%), GWG7 (39 days, 17.2%), and GWG8 (26 days, 11. 5%). GWGs 6, 7, and 8 have consistently
met the success criteria each monitoring year and GWG3 has met success criteria each monitoring year
after MY2.
DMS contracted Wildlands to conduct a soils investigation in Winter 2022. Based on the field
investigation, GWG10 has neither hydric soils present at the gage nor does the gage data support a high
water table in this area. Therefore, DMS is no longer seeking credit for the high area surrounding
GWG10. The soils investigation did indicate that in the floodplain to the west of UT1 represented by
GWGs 4 and 11 had hydric soil development using the F19 hydric indicator. However, neither of the
gages have met the required hydrology success criteria throughout the monitoring period. Because
hydrology would not meet a primary hydrology indicator on the USACE delineation determination form
Crooked Creek #2 Restoration Project (94687)
Monitoring Year 7 Annual Report 1‐4
nor is supported by GWG gage hydrology based on the monitoring data, DMS is no longer requesting
credit for the proposed wetland area to the west of UT1. Please see Appendix 1 for the adjusted credit
request (Table 1.2) and the CCPV figures in Appendix 2. All supplemental data collected during the
Winter 2022 field assessment (soil, vegetation, and delineation forms) is included in Appendix 6.
GWGs 1, 2, 5, and 9 did not meet hydrology criteria using gage data in the majority of the monitoring
years. These gages represent the right floodplain in wetland restoration zone A and wetland creation
zone B and contain F19 hydric soils. In addition to hydric soils, a high water table was present at the
gages during the soils investigation in Winter 2022. Based on the soils, hydrology, and type of vegetation
present during the investigation, Wildlands determined that GWGs 1, 2, 5, and 9 would delineate as a
wetland using the USACE wetland delineation determination form. Although these wetland areas are
marginal, they show continued development of hydrology and wetland soils and DMS determined this
area should remain as part of the wetland credits proposed for closeout subject to further field
discussion. For soil, vegetation, and delineation forms please refer to Appendix 6. Please refer to
Appendix 5 for the groundwater hydrology data, plots, and rainfall data.
1.2.7 Hydrology Data with Adjusted Growing Season Data and Soil Temperature Data
In addition to the modified wetland boundary, DMS has included supplemental data to consider in the
closeout assessment for the Site. Multiple indicators at Crooked Creek collected over the past few years
suggest the growing season beings as early as March 1st. Soil temperature data has indicated that the
ground temperature starts to rise in early March and remains above the 41‐degree Fahrenheit threshold
throughout the growing season. Supplemental soil temperature data has been collected on site since
2019. Additionally, Wildlands has included March 1st bud burst documentation from the Deep Meadow
Mitigation Site, located 9 miles from the Site.
Data gathered to support an adjusted growing season is included in Appendix 7. A revised groundwater
attainment table is also included to illustrate the wetland gage attainment with an adjusted growing
season. For this assessment, the gage data was assessed with an equal number of days added to the
beginning and end of the growing season for adjusted dates of 3/1‐ 11/26 and 20 days needed to meet
the 7.5% success criteria requirements. The adjusted gage data supports the developing hydrology and
soil observations recorded during the soils investigation during winter 2022 and supports that the UT1
floodplain overall is functioning as a wetland.
1.2.8 Wetland Areas of Concern
Currently, the only area of concern in the wetland areas is the headcut within Wetland Creation Zone B.
The area was stabilized by coir matting and live stake in Spring 2022. There is some evidence that water
has continued to move through this area where vegetation has not fully established. The headcut area
will continue to be monitored through closeout. Refer to Appendix 2 for wetland photographs and area
of concern photographs.
1.3 Monitoring Year 7 & Closeout Summary
Assessments completed over the past seven years illustrate that the Site has met success criteria as
defined in the mitigation plan (Wildlands, 2013) for vegetation and stream morphology and hydrology.
However, the site has not met the wetland hydrology success criteria for all wetland areas of the site. To
address the at‐risk wetland areas DMS has revised the wetland credit request in MY7 to include 0.350
AC wetland enhancement, 5.600 AC for wetland restoration and 1.000 AC for wetland creation to total
9.365 AC of wetlands on the site. The credit request is being revised from the proposed 8.400 WMUs to
6.950 WMUs at closeout. The updated credit request is located in Appendix 1, summarized in table 1.2.
Crooked Creek #2 Restoration Project (94687)
Monitoring Year 7 Annual Report 1‐5
Stream morphology surveys throughout MY0‐MY7 demonstrate the dimensions and profiles of the
restored and enhanced stream channels are stable and are functioning as designed. The Site has
withstood several bankfull events throughout the monitoring period and has met success criteria for the
project. The average planted stem density of 492 stems per acre and the average planted stem height of
21 feet both exceed the MY7 success criteria. The Site has responded well to previous supplemental
plantings and invasive species treatments. The MY7 visual assessments revealed minor areas of concern
which included a headcut at the wetland outlet, a small area of encroachment at the easement
boundary which is actively being addressed with the adjacent landowner, and a few pockets invasive
plant species.
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. Narrative background and supporting
information formerly found in these reports can be found in the Mitigation Plan documents available on
DMS’s website. All raw data supporting the tables and figures in the appendices are available from DMS
upon request.

Section 2: METHODOLOGY
Geomorphic data were collected following the standards outlined in The Stream Channel Reference Site:
An Illustrated Guide to Field Techniques (Harrelson et al., 1994) and in the Stream Restoration: A Natural
Channel Design Handbook (Doll et al., 2003). All Integrated Current Condition Mapping was recorded
using a Trimble handheld GPS with sub‐meter accuracy and processed using Pathfinder and ArcGIS.
Crest gages and pressure transducers were installed in surveyed riffle cross‐sections during annual Site
visits. Hydrologic monitoring instrument installation and monitoring methods are in accordance with the
United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE, 2003) standards. Vegetation monitoring protocols
followed the Carolina Vegetation Survey‐EEP Level 2 Protocol (Lee et al., 2008).
