D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
The work consists of stabilizing the stream channel/banks on approximately 650' of stream plus 450' of tributary. The majority of the work will be bank
shaping, twenty in- stream rock, log or brush structures and approximately 385' of relocation. The proposed impacts will enhance the stream oorridor
providing increased aquatic and terrestrial wildlife habitat and improved water quality.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
All graded areas will be seeded. The new streambank profile will be protected by erosion control matting while vegetation is being established.

GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Dennis Earl Property
Stream Channel Stabilization
Anderson Branch and Unnamed Tributary
Burke County, North Carolina
This stream channel stabilization project will address instabilities along an approximately
650 feet long reach of Anderson Branch and an approximately 450 feet long reach of an
unnamed tributary. The channel has migrated laterally in multiple meander bends, likely
due to straightening and channelization in the past, an overly wide channel, and a high
width/depth ratio. This process is continuing to erode multiple vertical mass wasting
banks. Instabilities and an over - widened channel exist throughout the remainder of both
reaches.
The objective of this design is to address the stream's dimension, pattern, and profile to
improve sediment transport and stop bank erosion. Pattern or alignment will be corrected
to a tolerable range and held in place with multiple structures including log vanes, rock
cross -vanes, and rock j- hooks. These structures will also maintain a stable channel
dimension and profile created through construction activities.
Improved aquatic and terrestrial habitat will be a by- product of the channel stabilization.
Native herbaceous and woody vegetation will be installed to provide long term stability.

Landowner Guidance for Contracting Stream Projects
Certain issues can arise when contracting a stream stabilization project that normally do
not arise with more common construction contracts such as building construction or
earth moving projects. With most common projects, there is a high degree of certainty
that the project will be installed exactly as shown on the drawings and with the quantity
of materials estimated. This means that contractors can bid on the job with a fixed dollar
amount and should not be surprised by unforeseen changes, difficulties, or additional
materials required to complete the job properly. If a contract awarded at a fixed amount
encounters unforeseen issues during construction, problems with the contractor can
occur since these issues can cost the contractor large amounts of money which will
lower their profit margin.
While engineering plans are carefully prepared to show the expected extent of work,
stream stabilization projects are sometimes not installed exactly as shown on the plans.
Constructing stream projects is unique in that work is being done on a dynamic system
where previously unknown complications are commonly found only after construction
has begun. It is not uncommon during construction for the construction supervisor
(NRCS or SWCD personnel) to determine the need to deviate slightly from the
engineering plans. Other factors can impact the time it takes or the amount of materials
required to complete a project. A few examples follow:
• In- stream structure installation has a downstream effect causing a need for an
additional structure not shown in the plans, or making it possible to omit a
downstream structure
• Availability of suitable construction materials may necessitate a change of plans
• Equipment operator inexperience or equipment inadequacies can greatly
increase the time required to finish a project
• Stream bed properties such as previously unidentified bedrock seams or deep
unconsolidated stream bed material may decrease or increase required materials
• Large storm events and high flows that happen during construction can have
negative effects that must be repaired
All deviations from the plans affect the installation cost of the project making it either
more or less expensive. Material quantities, such as boulders for in- stream structures,
are very difficult to estimate accurately. The relative time required to complete a project
varies greatly from project to project. These factors make it difficult for both the
contractor and the engineer to predict the cost of installation. Also, there are only a
limited number of contractors that have experience with multiple stream projects so
many may underbid a project when bidding total cost. When the cost of installation turns
out to be more than a contractor expects, problems can occur especially if the contractor
is being paid a fixed amount for project completion.
For stream stabilization projects several hundred feet or more long and requiring multiple
in- stream structures, it is recommended that the landowner contract the job with
provisions to accommodate payment for changes to the plans or unexpected material
expenses. It can be problematic to try to work out costs for these issues once
construction is underway. There are various ways to set up your contract to avoid
problems during construction. Work with your contractor to come to good terms on how
to set up the contract so that unexpected issues can be easily resolved. And contact
your NRCS or SWCD representative for advice.

Installation Notes:
Operate heavy grading equipment from the top of the banks to
the maximum extent possible.
Installation of the stream crossing shall not raise or lower the
stream bed at the crossing. Do not manipulate the stream
channel upstream or downstream of the crossing unless
specified in engineering plans.
Cut slopes mast be treated according to the 342 - Critical Area
Planting Job Sheet as soon as possible after grading.
Siting Notes:
The crossing should be sited in a stable reach of the stream
where no erosion or deposition is occuring. Install in a
relatively straight section.
An instream structure for grade control (i.e. Rock Cross -Vane)
may be needed to ensure stability of the crossing. Contact an
engineer for assistance.
The ideal siting location is either immediately downstream of
the head of a riffle or across a coarse bed glide immediately
upstream of the head of a riffle. A crossing should not be sited
in a run or pool.
This standard design applies to most stream crossing scenarios
in the western North Carolina mountians, foothills, and
Piedmont where stream bed material is predominately gravel.
For sandy stream beds a different design may be necessary.
For cobble stream beds, a "ramp only" design may be more
appropriate. Contact engineering staff for assistance.
Operation and Maintenance:
Install gates to exclude livestock from crossing at all times
except when crossing is being used to move livestock.
Inspect the crossing and the fencing after any significant
rainfall event. Repair the fence according to the Break Away
Wire Fence Construction Specification.
If sediment or other debris accumulates at the bottom of the
ramps, carefully remove without damaging stone base or filter
cloth. Spoil material shall not be placed in the stream.
Contact SWCD or NRCS personnel if problems with the
crossing or components of the crossing arise.

Construction Specification
Break Away Wire Fence Construction
1. This specification is intended to be used in conjunction
with other fence specifications which provide details
relating to the type of fence and the type of bracing
required. Do not use this specification without the
accompanying specification which relates to the
specific type of fence that is to be installed. This
specification is not to be applied to a specific site
unless the title block bears the name of the
landowner /operator and the signature of the person
approving the specification for a particular site.
2. 'Break Away" fence construction is recommended for
fences that cross the stream or are at near
perpendicular angles to the stream and are to be
located in the floodway or floodplain. The concept of
the "Break Away" fence is that the fence wire
segments will separate and trail downstream when
significant debris lodges on the wire. After the high
water subsides the operator can easily restore the fence
with a hammer and a few replacement staples.
3. The 'Break Away" fence involves lightly fastening the
wires of each strand on the downstream side of the
fence post for all posts that are in the floodway. The
wires are cut at one or more points so that the wire is
not continuous across the floodway. A minimum
overlap of six (6) inches of wire should be allowed on
either side of the securing staple. Cutting the fence
allows it to pull away from the fence posts during high
water events and trail downstream rather than
accumulating debris that eventually either breaks the
fence, pulls out the fence posts, creates a scour hole, or
a combination of the three.
4. Generally it is only necessary to cut the individual
strands of wire at only one post where they cross the
stream. Breaking the wire for a single strand at more
than one point may result in loss of a section of wire
when it breaks away from the post.
5. Install staples on the fence posts in the floodway by
lightly driving them only partially into the posts and
perpendicular to the post and in line with the grain of
the posts. This results in early pull -out of the staples
when the wire begins to load up with debris and exert
significant downstream force on the staple. The fence
will break away at the point where the wires are cut.
For multiple strand fences only the lower strands will
break away during storm events where flows do not
reach the upper strands.
6. The wires should always be fastened to the downstream
side of the posts for those posts that are in the
floodplain and where the fence is crossing the stream
or is located in a position that is at or nearly
perpendicular to the flow of the stream. Otherwise the
wires should be placed as indicated in the specification
for the specific type of fence.
7. Comer posts should be properly braced as indicated in
the specification for the specific type of fence.
8. For stream crossings similar to that shown in the
illustrated drawing, it is possible that when multiple
strands "Break Away" during a flood event the strands
may tangle up in the debris and be difficult to separate
and reuse. In this case it may be easier to replace the
tangled strands with new wire. It may be
advantageous to stagger the break away strands on
alternate posts on either side of the stream.
9. The illustrated drawing for the "Break Away" fence
uses a stream crossing as the example in the plan view.
Other applications include property line fences or
divisional cross fences which cross the floodway or
floodplain perpendicular or nearly perpendicular to the
floodplain but do not actually cross the stream.
10. CAUTION: Do not use barbed wire for break away
fences where livestock may become entangled and
injured by the trailing break away strands. High -
tensile wire or other smooth wire should be used at
locations where such entanglement and injury are
possible.
11. For fence systems in the floodway that are parallel or
nearly parallel to the flow of the stream, high - tensile
fence is recommended. Install fence with as few
intermediate stay posts as possible. Limit the number
of strands to the minimum absolutely required to
control the livestock. The fence should be installed in
long straight segments and as close as possible to
being parallel with the flow in the floodway during
high water events. Probably the most effective
measure is to set the fence back as far away from the
main channel of the stream as possible. The further
away from the stream channel the fence is placed the
less likely that damaging debris is going to strike or
accumulate on the fence. The use of barbed wire is
generally discouraged in these cases since the barbs
tend to accumulate so much debris.

CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION
IN- STREAM STRUCTURES CONSTRUCTED OF ROCK
1) SCOPE
This specification covers the installation of Rock Vanes, J- Hooks, and Cross Vanes at locations
as shown on the construction plans and as directed by the engineer.
2) PURPOSE
Redirect erosive velocities away from streambanks
Provide aquatic habitat
Cross Vanes may be used for grade control
3) DEFINITIONS
ROCK VANE - A deflective structure installed pointing upstream, beginning at bankfull sloping
down to the streambed. The angle at which the vane points upstream from the
bank shall be 20 -30 degrees. The slope of the top surface of the vane will be 5 -7
percent. The vane should extend from the bank to approximately 1/3 of channel
width. (See fig. 1)
J -HOOK - A rock vane with a hooked portion on the streambed. The hook provides
additional habitat. (See fig. 2) May included a sill (See fig. 3) which continues
across the stream bed from the hook portion of the structure, perpendicular to
the flow and follows the shape and elevation of the stream bed and stream bank
up to interberm or as directed by the engineer.
CROSS VANE - A rock vane from both sides of the stream with a connecting bar on the
streambed. If this structure is used for grade control, the existing streambed
elevation may be increased by no more than 10 percent of bankfull, unless a
greater increase is provided for in the approved design. (See fig. 4)
WING
DEFLECTOR - A deflective structure installed with sloping "arms" the slope downward into the
stream bed. The angle the arms point downstream and upstream from the bank
is 20 — 30 degrees. The slope of the top surface of the downstream arm will be
2 — 4 percent. The vane should extend from the bank and help identify the low
flow channel. (See Construction Drawings - Engineer will direct construction)
USDA -NRCS page 1 of 6 Rock Structures
North Carolina August 1999

8) INSTALLATION
• The engineer shall place a marker at the point where the last rock of the structure will meet
the streambed. This marker shall be set at a point, which represents the planned angle from
bankfull and the planned slope of the structure. The engineer should check to see if this point
is approximately V3 of the total channel width.
• Holes for footer rocks shall be excavated in the streambed at the location, elevation and
orientation as directed by the engineer.
• A footer rock of the size and shape as directed by the engineer shall be installed in the hole.
Multiple footer rocks may be required, at the discretion of the engineer or as provided for in
the approved plan.
• A structure rock of the size and shape as directed by the engineer shall be installed on top of
the footer rock.
• Streambed material will be removed as directed by the engineer if it is required to move the
thalweg of the stream to the point of the structure.
• Streambed material shall be placed on the upstream side of the structure near the bank.
• Equipment shall be operated from the streambank whenever possible.
• Equipment which appears to be leaking fluids shall be removed to a safe site away from the
stream corridor until it is repaired and confirmed that no leaks exist.
9) ASSOCIATED PRACTICES
• ROOT WADS and related instream structures planned as an integral component of the
natural stream channel restoration design.
• CRITICAL AREA SEEDING shall be applied on all disturbed areas.
• WOODY VEGETATION shall be established on the sloped bank above bankfull and on top
of the bank.
• RIPARIAN FOREST BUFFER should be considered.
• LIVESTOCK EXCLUSION shall be installed if livestock are pastured in the area.
10) FIGURES

CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION
LOG VANE
1) SCOPE
This specification covers the installation of Log Vane(s) at location(s) as shown on the
construction plans and as directed by the engineer.
2) PURPOSE
• Redirect erosive velocities away from streambanks
• Protect bank from erosion during the establishment of woody vegetation
• Provide aquatic and terrestrial habitat
• This practice does not apply to streams that are highly entrenched.
3) DEFINITIONS
LOG VANE — A log, installed at an angle of 20 to 30 degrees to the bank and at a slope of 5 to
7 percent from the streambank to the streambed. (See Fig 1)
ENGINEER - The USDA -NRCS and/or SWCD person(s) who have appropriate construction
approval authority for Practice Standard 580, Streambank and Shoreline
Protection for the specific size and type of structure.
STREAM BANK — Portions of intermittent or perennial stream banks which are eroding at an
accelerated rate due to the effects of stream flow near banks without adequate
vegetative cover and supporting riparian area.
BANKFULL (BKF) — The stream flow level at which the stream channel is formed and
maintained. The term "bankfull" should not be confused with "the top of the
bank ". Persons who have received training in Natural Stream Channel
evaluation shall identify the bankfull elevation.
4) PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
This practice should be applied as a part of a total Natural Stream Channel Restoration design.
Log Vanes are not intended to be a total solution to the streambank erosion problem by
themselves. They are to be used as a component of a total streambank management plan, which
may require a number of associated practices. In some cases modification of the stream
dimension, pattern and profile may be required before structures are installed. The use of log
vanes without considering the stable dimension, pattern, and profile of the stream will most
likely result in failure.
USDA -NRCS page 1 Log Vane
North Carolina October 2004

cut off to within approximately six inches of the top of the log vane. Connect the log vane
and stake with at least three turns of cable on each diagonal and cable clamps. The
connection should be similar to diagonal lashing.
c) Attach a cable to a Duckbill anchor (may use a double barrel crimp sleeve or two cable
clamps). Place the anchor on a drive rod. Install the anchor on the upstream side of the log
vane at a point which will allow the cable to be essentially perpendicular to the log at
approximately the mid -point of the portion of the log vane which is buried in the streambed.
Make three wraps of the cable around the Log Vane and secure the cable end with two cable
clamps (a self locking wire rope grip such as the "cripple" or "Dyna -Tite" is highly
recommended). The cable MUST be pulled taunt to ensure proper anchorage.
All excavation will be performed at the location, elevation, and orientation and to the dimensions
as directed by the engineer.
The streambank shall be sloped to 1 %:1 or flatter from the bankfull elevation to the top of the
bank unless otherwise directed by the Items of Work or the Engineer.
Equipment which appears to be leaking fluids shall be removed to a safe site away from the
stream corridor until it is repaired and confirmed that no leaks exist.
9) MATERIALS
• LENGTH OF THE LOG VANE — The stem shall be of sufficient length so that a minimum
of 8' is placed into well consolidated soil plus such length as is required to install the log on a
7% or less slope plus approximately 8' to bury into the streambed on the upstream end
• DIAMETER — The minimum diameter of the stem measured at smallest end shall be 6 inches
unless stated otherwise in the Items of Work.
• FORM — The stem shall be as straight as possible for the entire length. Log Vanes may not
have bows and/or other deformities which will cause a concentration of flow at any point
along the section of stem which is exposed to stream flow. The stem shall not exhibit an
unusual degree of taper. Forks are prohibited except within the portion which will be buried
in the streambed.
• SPECIES — Tree species shall be selected that exhibit rot resistance. Locust, White Oak, and
Black Walnut are some possible choices. Species such as Hemlock, Poplar, Maples,
Sycamore and White Pine have slight resistance to decay or are nonresistant to decay when
subjected to wet/dry cycles.
• HARVEST SITE — Trees shall not be harvested from within the riparian area except where
associated stream restoration activities require the removal of the tree. Trees which are
harvested from within the riparian area shall not be removed without the approval of the on-
site engineer. Trees which have already washed into the stream may be used if the on -site
engineer determines that they meet all criteria listed in this specification.
• QUALITY — Trees may be rejected by the on -site engineer if they are split, broken,
decaying, or otherwise exhibit faults which will cause the service life of the structure to be
less than the time required to establish permanent woody vegetation with sufficient root
systems to protect the streambank.

North Carolina October 2004

12) ITEMS OF WORK
Items of work to be performed in conformance with this specification and the construction
details therefore are:
a) Construct stream stabilization measures at the Dennis Earl site in Burke County at the
location(s) as directed by the on -site Engineer.
b) Ingress and egress of equipment and materials shall be only at locations and through routes
as approved by the Engineer.
c) Provide all equipment, tools, materials and labor required to install log vanes as shown on the
plans.
d) Logs shall be essentially straight, a minimum of 12" in diameter at the small end, and a
minimum of 25 feet long.
e) Approximately 20 linear feet of geotextile fabric filter cloth from a minimum 12 foot wide roll is
required for each log vane. Fabric shall be non -woven needle punched.
fl Logs shall be embedded into the bank and bed a minimum of 6 feet at each end.
g) Remove all construction debris associated with installation of these structures to an approved
location.
h) Provide all necessary safety equipment.

Streamside Herbaceous Vegetation Specifications
The work shall consist of preparing the area, furnishing and placing seed, sprigs, sod mats, mulch,
fertilizer, inoculate, soil amendments and anchoring mulch in the designated areas as specified;
streambanks, access areas and other areas disturbed by construction activities.
Seedbed Preparation
On sites where equipment can be operated safely the seedbed shall be adequately loosened and smoothed.
Disking or cultipacking or both may be necessary. On sites where equipment cannot operate safely, the
seedbed shall be prepared by hand scarifying to provide a roughened surface so that seed will stay in place.
If seeding is done immediately following construction, seedbed preparation may not be required except on
compacted, polished or freshly cut areas.
Fertilizing
Evenly distribute lime and fertilizer over the area to be seeded. Uniformly mix lime and fertilizer into the
top 3 inches of the soil. Where surface materials are predominately gravel and/or cobble, no incorporation
is required. Apply lime and fertilizer according to soil test results or at the following rates.
Per 1000 sq. ft. Per Acre
Lime 50 -100 lbs. 1 -2 tons
10 -10 -10 Fertilizer 9 -12 lbs. 4-500 lbs.
Sod Mats
Strip and stockpile mats of existing desirable herbaceous vegetation. Insure that several inches of sod
remains attached to the vegetation. The root systems must remain moist while the vegetation is stockpiled.
Place the mats on the lower bank slopes and anchor in place.
Seedin
Temnorary Seeding - Use where needed for erosion and pollution control, when permanent
vegetation cannot be established due to planting season and where temporary ground cover is
needed to allow native or woody vegetation to become established.

Permanent Seeding — Use in combination with woody plantings on the upslope side of the riparian
planting. Spring planting time is ideal for native perennial warm season grasses. These grasses
should be used when enhancing wildlife habitat is a goal of the riparian planting. Spring planted
seed should be treated with a cold wet chill process to maximize germination. Fall plantings
should be planted with a lightly sowed cool season annual to hold the soil and do not need the wet
chill process. To improve wildlife habitat existing stands of fescue can be killed using an
appropriate herbicide and warm season grasses can be no -till planted into the sod. Omit fertilizer
when establishing native grasses, fertilizer can be applied the second year to improve the stand.

Mulching
Mulching should be performed within 48 hours of seeding. Grain straw mulch should be applied on seeded
areas at a rate of 3 bales per 1000 square feet or 1.5 tons per acre. Apply mulch uniformly. Anchor mulch
with a mulch crimper, asphalt tackifier or appropriate mulch netting.

Streamside Woody Vegetation Establishment
This work consist of securing and planting permanent woody vegetation using rooted stock, unrooted stock and
on site transplants.
Care and Handling
Planting stock should be stored in a cool moist environment or heeled in. Roots of bareroot stock shall be kept
moist during planting operations. Container or potted stock shall be kept moist at all times. The root balls of
transplanted stock must be kept moist.
Site Prenaration
Desirable trees and shrubs on the construction site should be dug and stored. On recently graded sites use
temporary seedings, anchored mulch or erosion control fabrics to provide surface protection until woody
vegetation becomes established. Sod may be killed by non - selective herbicides the year previous to planting
stock (follow all federal, state and local regulations in the use of herbicides). When hand planting; scalp an area
at least 3 feet in diameter and 2 -4 inches deep. Place plant in the center of the scalped area. On sites where
equipment cannot be operated safely and there are concerns about potential erosion use a non - selective herbicide
to kill vegetation in a 36 inch wide circle or 36 inch wide strip and plant in the center of the killed vegetation. If
the site is a row crop site, reasonably free of weeds, plant stock in the stubble without prior preparation. Sites
with undesirable brush will need initial treatments to facilitate planting and follow -up treatments to prevent
reencroachment.
Planting
Transplants should be replanted to the same depth they were originally growing. Plant rooted stock in a vertical
position with the root collar approximately '/2 inch below the soil surface. The planting trench or hole must be
deep enough and wide enough to permit roots to spread out and down without J- rooting. Insert dormant cuttings
to the depth required to reach adequate soil moisture, leaving 2 to 3 buds above ground. After planting pack soil
around each plant firmly to remove air pockets.
