Re: DWR Project 20230438 V2 -Riparian Buffer & Nutrient Viability Request
DMS Project No. 100645
Dear Ms. Merritt,
Clearwater Mitigation Solutions, has been awarded a contract by NCDMS to provide 3365
Stream Mitigation Units, 5.0 Wetland Mitigation Units, 475,000 Riparian Buffer Credits, and
Nutrient Offset Credits for 450 lbs P and 6,986.7 lbs N within the 03020101 HUC of the Tar -
Pamlico River, at a Site known as the Totten Mitigation Site, near Oxford, Granville County,
North Carolina.
Project Location & Description
The project site is located in Granville County, 2.2 miles north of the town of Oxford. The
Site is located within a Targeted Local Watershed and Local Watershed Plan Area (Fishing
Creek) 14-digit HUC (03020101020010) of the Tar -Pamlico River basin. Stream and wetland
mitigation areas are located along unnamed tributaries (UTs) to Jordan Creek. Current land
use is comprised of active pastureland, hay fields, and disturbed forest. Streams have a thin
and disturbed riparian margin due to livestock grazing and regular land -management
activities. The proposed conservation easement area contains approximately 28.0 acres.
This project is proposed to include 3126 if of stream restoration, 255 if of stream
enhancement (level I), 4321f of stream enhancement (level II), 3.33 acres of riparian wetland
reestablishment, 4.07 acres of riparian wetland enhancement, 15.2 acres of riparian buffer
restoration, 1.5 acres of riparian buffer enhancement, and 3.1 acres of nutrient offset
mitigation. Site alterations include removing livestock, restoring streams and wetlands, and
planting with native, woody vegetation. Site tributary watershed size is approximately 0.37
square miles (237 acres). The watershed is dominated by pasture, forest, and sparse
residential property. Impervious surfaces account for approximately 1.8 percent of the
upstream watershed land surface.
Restoration Means & Methods
Stream restoration efforts are designed to restore a stable stream that approximates
hydrodynamics, stream geometry, and local microtopography relative to reference
conditions. Restoration at the Site will be Priority I restoration; therefore, bankfull elevations
will be raised to meet the adjacent valley floodplain elevation. Stream restoration is expected
to entail 1) channel excavation, 2) channel stabilization, 3) channel diversion, and 4) channel
backfill. Stream restoration within a 6-acre pond will include 1) notching the dam to dewater
sediments; 2) removal of the dam to the elevation of the adjacent floodplain; 3) excavating

sediment that is unsuitable for channel bank construction; 4) backfilling areas of sediment
removed with soil suitable for channel construction (if necessary); 5) excavation of the
design channel, 6) stabilization of the channel with coir matting, seed, and mulch; and 7)
installation of structures. Stream enhancement will entail restoration of stream dimension,
installation of easement markers, the removal of livestock, planting riparian buffers with
native forest vegetation to facilitate stream recovery and prevent further degradation of the
stream, and/or the removal of invasive species.
Alternatives for wetland reestablishment are designed to restore a fully functioning wetland
system, which will provide surface water storage, nutrient cycling, removal of imported
elements and compounds, and will create a variety and abundance of wildlife habitat.
Portions of the Site underlain by hydric soils have been impacted by stream degradation,
vegetative clearing, livestock trampling, and other land disturbances associated with land use
management. Wetland reestablishment options should focus on the restoration of vegetative
communities, restoration of stream corridors and historic groundwater tables, and the
reestablishment of soil structure and microtopographic variations.
Restoration of floodplain forest allows for development and expansion of characteristic
species across the landscape. Ecotonal changes between community types contribute to
diversity and provide secondary benefits, such as enhanced feeding and nesting opportunities
for mammals, birds, amphibians, and other wildlife. Revegetating floodplains will provide
overall system stability, shade, and wildlife habitat. In addition, viable riparian communities
will improve system biogeochemical function by filtering pollutants from overland and
shallow subsurface flows and providing organic materials to adjacent stream channels.
Variations in vegetative planting will occur based on topography and hydraulic condition of
soils. Vegetative species composition will be based on Reference Forest Ecosystems, site -
specific features, and community descriptions from Classification of the Natural
Communities of North Carolina (Schafale and Weakley 1990). Community associations to be
utilized include: 1) Piedmont/Low Mountain Alluvial Forest, 2) Dry-Mesic Oak -Hickory
Forest and 3) Streamside Assemblage. Please find included for your review:
1. Include a timeline of land use changes from 1990-Present supported by Google imagery;
2. Include the DWR Stream Call Determination letter with maps & figures;
3. Include an Aerial Map showing a proposed Conservation Easement/Project boundary
4. Include lidar imagery of the area within the proposed project boundary

Site Address: 1508 College St, Oxford, NC
Location: 36.226223,-78.828629
Dear Mr. Yates:
On June 28, 2023, Blake Hartshorn and Shelton Sullivan with the Division of Water Resources (DWR)
conducted an on -site review of features located on the subject at the request of Clearwater Mitigation
Solutions, LLC to determine the applicability of the above -noted state regulations. The following were also
present for the site visit: Kevin Yates with Clearwater Mitigation, Kenan Jernigan with Axiom Environmental,
and Ryan Hamilton with the DWR.
The DWR has determined that features listed as "subject" in the table below and identified on the attached
maps are shown on either the most recently published NRCS Soil Survey of Granville County and/or the USGS
National Map at https:Happs.nationalmap.gov/viewer/. Features that are listed as "Subject" on the below
table have been located on the ground at the site and possess characteristics that qualify them to be at least
intermittent streams in accordance with the NC Stream Identification Manual v.4.11 and therefore subject
to the Neuse Buffer Rules. Please be aware that features identified as "not subject" may be considered
jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of Engineers and subject to the Clean Water Act.

❑B Pocosin type is < 90 % of the full extent of its natural landscape size.
13. Connectivity to Other Natural Areas — landscape condition metric
13a. Check appropriate box(es) (a box may be checked in each column). Involves a GIS effort with field adjustment. This metric
evaluates whether the wetland is well connected (Well) and/or loosely connected (Loosely) to the landscape patch, the contiguous
naturally vegetated area and open water (if appropriate). Boundaries are formed by four -lane roads, regularly maintained utility line
corridors the width of a four -lane road or wider, urban landscapes, maintained fields (pasture and agriculture), or open water > 300
feet wide.
