Re: Tributary to Dixon Branch Site #16, Mecklenburg County, WBS # 34410.1.1; TIP No.
R-2248D, Action ID No. 200131321; DWQ Project No. 011231
Ms. Amschler:
As you are aware, the Department has monitored the Tributary to Dixon Branch Site #16 stream
relocation site since its construction in February of 2005. The Tributary to Dixon Branch Site
#16 is located in Mecklenburg County, adjacent to the Charlotte Outer loop at Sta. 13+50 Ramp
2D. This site provides 548 linear feet of stream relocation for impacts associated with the
R-2248D project. The stream relocation was constructed and planted with the appropriate
hardwood species. Per permit requirements, NCDOT was required to monitor the stream
mitigation site for stream channel stability on a biannual 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 PDEA Natural Environment Section (NES) website:
https: //connect. ncdot. g,ov/resources/Environmental/Pages/Permits-and-Mitigation. aspx
After five years of vegetation and stream stability monitoring, the Tributary to Dixon Branch Site
#16 stream relocation indicates that the planted vegetation is surviving and the streambanks
remain stable at this time. Individual annual monitoring reports are available on NES's website
for 2009-2014.

A site visit was conducted on June 16t�', 2015 with regulatory agencies and NCDOT personnel
present. It was determined at that meeting 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]
