a DAVEY#. company
On March 9, 2023, Restoration Systems (IRS) held an on -site meeting with regulatory agencies to discuss the Turkey
Mitigation Site (Site); a proposed PRM Site for the Vulcan Material Company's Rockingham Quarry TIAA Site (SAW-
2020-00807). Below is a list of attendees and site visit notes which will be incorporated into the development of the
Site's Mitigation Plan.
Attendees:
USACE: Restoration Systems:
- Dave Bailey (PM) & Sam Dailey - Raymond Holz & Alex Baldwin
NC DWR: Civil & Environmental Consultants:
- Mac Haupt & Chad Turlington - Kevin Thomas, Christy Mower, Jena Turner,
JC Weaver, & Josue Gonzalez
NCWRC:
- Olivia Munzer
Site -Wide Notes:
- PRM Site and Impact Site are within the same 8-digit HUC (Yadkin Pee Dee 03040201).
- PRM Site is located within a TRA watershed for Hydrology and Habitat improvement based on the Lower
Yadkin Pee -Dee River Basin Restoration Priorities (NCEEP RBRP 2009 and NCDENR-DEQ 2019.
- Drainage area for SA1: —0.4 SqM/^300+AC & drainage area for SA3: —140 AC
- Class C Waters, no 303d on site
- Majority of PRM site is perennial stream, majority of TIAA site is intermittent stream.
- Proposing 10% for hydroperiod success criteria for wetlands/soils
- Site is proposed to have 3 stream crossings: 1 low flow ford, and 2 piped culverts.
o Agencies asked if landowner/farmer has requested this. Answer is yes, these will be used for
vehicle/livestock movement around the larger property.
o NCWRC would recommend/prefer bridge crossings, arched/bottomless as opposed to culverts.
- USACE: general concurrence that the PRM Site is a good mitigation opportunity for the TIAA site.
- USACE: recommended starting as soon as possible on the T&E aspect of the site.
o Anson County will be under Asheville USFWS
o Richmond County will be under Raleigh USFWS
General Mitigation Notes:
- Provide justification for single thread approach through wetland areas, particularly in upper reaches
below transition of headwater approach.
- Broad Water Innovations (BWI) is the likely long-term manager (LTM) and easement holder. BWI is
USACE-SAW vetted and approved LTM and easement holder.

Anson County / Yadkin
- Permit PRM site as NW 27 and Impact Site as IP.
o Keep measurements as Linear Footage/Ratio Based
o Assume 2:1 for the Impact Site
- Wetland Mitigation:
o May not need to mitigate for wetlands on -site but wouldn't hurt to show accounting.
o Loss in stream footage should not be an issue but discuss with USACE if so.
- Decommissioned well should promote flow to Wetland-3 and SA-1 located downstream of well area.
- DWR recommended the use of wider buffers to reduce cattle pressure on Site streams; especially in the
headwaters to include the entire wetland complex.
o Recommended to keep in mind areas of livestock pressure adjacent to the easement (ephemeral
features, marsh treatment areas, crossings, etc.)
- Keep valley/stream slope in mind during design to make sure we have enough velocity throughout the
system.
o Based on the on -site soils and similar sites, RS believes that by monitoring years 2 or 3,
groundwater recharged will be achieved — producing a sufficient flow in the system.
Reach Specific Notes:
- SA2 SA8
o Proposed light E1/E2 approach, remove invasives, fix banks with matting/live stakes/plantings, and
some in channel structures to raise the stream bed in the upper reach of SA2
o Further downstream (closer to confluence) transition to full restoration where incised.
SA9 SA11
o Recommended to capture and include wetland/ephemerals in CE to protect headwaters from
cattle, etc.
- SA4
o Proposed braided headwater approach at upstream area/Wetland-13
• MH recommended leaving headwater system alone, rest of reach is appropriate for
restoration
o clean out drainage patterns and understory.
o Spoil piles from farmer will be removed as part of restoration plan.
- SA1
o Headwaters is significantly more impacted by cattle and historic land use (spoil piles and possible
remnant earthen dams); single thread stream restoration is appropriate throughout.
o Project outfall — proposed log drop structure to tie proposed grade into existing for the low flow
ford crossing. RS has used these structures before with a good success rate through large storms.
- SA10
o Priority 1 stream restoration with treatment of adjacent land use runoff.
- SAS
o MH recommends a braided headwater approach at the top, transition to single channel approach
further down.
