Uzzle Year 5 Monitoring Report (SAW-2016-01973)
Ms. Isenhour,
Please find attached the Uzzle Year 5 Monitoring Report. In Year 5, all four fixed vegetation plots met the 260 stems per acre success criteria. Eight bankfull events were recorded on the stage recorder on LP1 with the highest event being 1.44 ft above top of bank. Cross Sections 1 and 2 showed some bank erosion in
MY2; however, RES performed a supplemental live stake planting and these cross sections have remained stable over the last three monitoring years. Groundwater Well 1 recorded a 2% hydroperiod and Groundwater Well 2 recorded a 33% hydroperiod. RES believes that the continued low hydroperiod in GW1 is because of a localized issue and proximity to the stream channel. RES will install an additional well in the area in the upcoming dormant season. A few small areas of re-sprouted Chinese privet observed throughout the easement and were treated in September 2023 and will continue as needed throughout the monitoring period. Year 5 visual assessments of the easement boundary found no encroachments or evidence of cattle
entry. Highway 70 expansion is currently occurring along the easement boundaries. RES is monitoring the easement on a regular basis to ensure that no encroachment or issues are impacting our easement as construction is occurring.
RES is requesting a 10% stream credit release (287.60 SMUs) for the completion of the Year 5 monitoring
report. Please see enclosed the credit release timeline and an updated credit ledger.

The IRT did not provide comments on the Uzzle Year 4 Monitoring Report.

Thank you,

Stream Mitigation Site October 2023
1.0 Project Summary

1.1 Project Location and Description The Uzzle Stream Mitigation Site (the Site), a component of the Neu-Con Stream and Wetland Umbrella Mitigation Bank, is located in Johnston County, North Carolina, approximately six miles
southeast of Clayton. Water quality stressors currently affecting the Site include livestock
production, agricultural production, and improper flow dynamics due to impervious surface
runoff. The Site presents 5,897 linear feet of stream restoration and enhancement generating
2,876 Stream Mitigation Units (SMU) along Little Poplar Creek and two unnamed tributaries.

The Site is located in the Neuse River Basin within Cataloging Unit 03020201, TLW
03020201100040, part of the Neuse Regional Watershed Planning (RWP) area, and the Wake-
Johnston Collaborative Local Watershed Plan (WJCLWP). As part of the RWP and WJCLWP, the
Site is located in a sub-watershed identified as High Priority for stream corridor restoration due
to current surrounding land use, hydrologic impairment due to stormwater runoff, and projected
impact from highway development.
Originally, consisting of pastureland and wooded areas, the Site’s total easement area is 27.3 acres within the overall drainage area of 1,312 acres. Grazing livestock historically had access to all stream reaches within the Site and the lack of riparian buffer vegetation, deep-rooted vegetation, and unstable channel characteristics contributed to the degradation of stream banks throughout the Site. Prior to restoration work, erosion and aggradation were especially prominent at the upstream end of the Site where Little Poplar Creek enters via a culvert under HWY US-70. The stream design approach for the Site was to combine the analog method of natural channel
design with analytical methods to evaluate stream flows and hydraulic performance of the channel
and floodplain. The analog method involves the use of a reference reach, or “template” stream
adjacent to, nearby, or previously in the same location as the design reach. The template
parameters of the analog reach are replicated to create the features of the design reach. The
analog approach is useful when watershed and boundary conditions are similar between the
design and analog reaches. Hydraulic geometry was developed using analytical methods to
identify the design discharge.

The Site will be monitored on a regular basis throughout the seven-year post-construction
monitoring period, or until performance standards are met. Upon approval for closeout by the
Interagency Review Team (IRT), the Site will be transferred to the North Carolina Wildlife Habitat Foundation (NCWHF). The NCWHF will be responsible for periodic inspection of the Site to ensure that restrictions required in the Conservation Easement, or the deed restriction document(s) are upheld. Endowment funds required to uphold easement and deed restrictions will be negotiated prior to site transfer to the responsible party. This site is co-located with a DWR Riparian Buffer Bank. The width of the riparian restoration and enhancement areas where buffer or nutrient offset credits are generated will begin at the most

Stream Mitigation Site October 2023
landward limit of the top of bank and extend landward to a distance of at least 50 feet
perpendicular to the streams, then again 151-200 feet from the top of bank. There will be no
overlapping buffer crediting areas with stream crediting areas between 51-150 feet from the top of bank.
1.2 Project Goals and Objectives Through the comprehensive analysis of the Site’s maximum functional uplift using the Stream
Functions Pyramid Framework, specific attainable goals and objectives will be realized by the Site.
These goals address the excess nutrient input, streambank erosion, and sedimentation that were
identified as major watershed stressors in the 2010 Neuse RBRP.

The Site goals are:
• Improve water transport from watershed to the channel in a non-erosive manner in a
stable channel;
• Improve water quality within the restored channel reach and downstream water
sources by reducing sediment and nutrient loads, and increasing dissolved oxygen
levels;
• Improve flood flow attenuation on-site and downstream by allowing for overbank flows and connection to the active floodplain; and
• Improve ecological processes by reducing water temperature, improving terrestrial and aquatic habitat, and restoring a native plant community. The Site objectives to address the goals are:
• Design and construct stable stream channels with appropriate pattern, dimension, and profile based on reference reach conditions;
• Permanently exclude livestock from stream channels and their associated buffers;
• Add in-stream structures and bank stabilization measures to protect restored and
enhanced streams;
• Reduce bank height ratios and increase entrenchment ratios to reference reach
conditions;
• Maintain and improve forested riparian buffers to at least 50 feet on both sides of
the channel along all reaches with a coastal plain hardwood riparian community;
• Treat exotic invasive species; and
• Establish a permanent conservation easement on the Site.

Limitations to achieving these watershed goals arise by remaining constrained to our Site
boundaries. While we are restoring the habitat and streams to stable and effective conditions that achieve our goals within the Site parcels, we are unable to influence the effect of poor riparian buffers and livestock impact in other areas within the watershed. However, through this Site’s connectivity with other projects in the watershed and responsible stewardship of current restoration projects, overall watershed functionality and health will improve to meet the RBRP goals.

Uzzle 4 Year 5 Monitoring Report
Stream Mitigation Site October 2023
1.3 Project Success Criteria The Site follows the USACE 2003 Stream Mitigation Guidelines, and the “Wilmington District Stream and Wetland Compensatory Mitigation Update” dated October 24, 2016. Cross section and vegetation plot data will be collected in Years 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7. Stream and wetland hydrology data and visual monitoring will be reported annually.

Stream Success Criteria
Four bankfull flow events must be documented within the seven-year monitoring period. The
bankfull events must occur in separate years. Otherwise, the stream monitoring will continue until
four bankfull events have been documented in separate years.

There should be little change in as-built cross-sections. If changes do take place, they should be
evaluated to determine if they represent a movement toward a less stable condition (for example
downcutting or erosion) or are minor changes that represent an increase in stability (for example
settling, vegetative changes, deposition along the banks, or decrease in width/depth ratio). Cross
sections shall be classified using the Rosgen stream classification method, and all monitored cross-sections should fall within the quantitative parameters defined for channels of the design stream type. Bank height ratio shall not exceed 1.2, and the entrenchment ratio shall be no less than 2.2 within restored reaches. Channel stability should be demonstrated through a minimum of four bankfull events documented in the seven-year monitoring period. Digital images will be used to subjectively evaluate channel aggradation or degradation, bank erosion, success of riparian vegetation, and effectiveness of erosion control measures. Longitudinal images should not indicate the absence of developing bars within the channel or an excessive increase in channel depth. Lateral images should not indicate excessive erosion or continuing degradation of the banks over time. A series of images over time should indicate successional maturation of riparian vegetation.

Vegetation Success Criteria
Specific and measurable success criteria for plant density within the riparian buffers on the Site
will follow IRT Guidance. Vegetation monitoring plots will be a minimum of 0.02 acres in size,
and cover a minimum of two percent of the planted area and there will be a minimum of four
plots. Vegetation monitoring will occur between July 1st and leaf drop. The interim measures of
vegetative success for the site will be the survival of at least 320 planted three-year old trees per
acre at the end of Year 3, 260 five-year old trees at the end of Year 5 that are at least 7 feet tall,
and the final vegetative success criteria will be 210 trees per acre with an average height of 10
feet at the end of Year 7. Height measurement success criteria do not apply to the understory
trees or shrubs. Volunteer trees will be counted, identified to species, and included in the yearly
monitoring reports, but will not be counted towards the success criteria of total planted stems.
Additionally, no species may account for over 50 percent of total stems at a given plot.

Uzzle 5 Year 5 Monitoring Report
Stream Mitigation Site October 2023
1.4 Project Components The Site is comprised of two easement sections, separated by a newly built ford crossing along Little Poplar Creek. The stream reaches include Little Poplar Creek (LP1, LP2, LP4, LP5, and LP7) and two unnamed tributaries (LP3 and LP6), split into seven reaches by treatment type and location. The stream mitigation components are summarized below. Mitigation credits presented
below are based upon the Approved Mitigation Plan. The Project is co-located with a DWR
Riparian Buffer Bank. The width of the riparian enhancement areas where buffer credits are
generated begin at the most landward limit of the top of bank and extend landward to a distance
of at least 50 feet perpendicular to the streams and from 151 – 200 feet. The buffer from 50 – 150
feet is used to generate credit using the non-standard buffer credit calculation. Therefore, there
is no overlap of buffer crediting areas and stream crediting areas.

1.5 Stream Design/Approach
Stream restoration and enhancement efforts along the tributaries at the Uzzle Stream Mitigation
Site were accomplished through analyses of geomorphic conditions and watershed
characteristics. The design approach applied a combination of analytical and reference reach-

Uzzle 6 Year 5 Monitoring Report
Stream Mitigation Site October 2023
based design methods that meet objectives commensurate with both ecological and geomorphic
improvements. For Reach LP1, natural design concepts were applied and verified through rigorous
engineering analyses and modeling. The objective of this approach is to build a geomorphically stable channel that provides habitat improvements and ties into the existing landscape. The Uzzle Stream Mitigation Site has been broken into the following reaches: Reach LP1 (Priority I Restoration) Reach beginning downstream of US HWY 70 at the northern project limits flowing south to Reach LP2. Wooded active pasture was located adjacent to the reach. Priority I Restoration was
performed along Reach LP1 to address channel degradation and bank erosion caused by cattle
access and high energy storm flows from the upstream culvert. The design approach included
meandering the channel within the natural valley, aligning the channel with the upstream culvert,
backfilling the existing stream, reconnecting the channel to its floodplain, and excluding livestock
from the stream. A minimum 50-foot buffer was established and planted with native riparian
vegetation. Woody debris and grade control structures were installed along the bed to improve
in-stream habitat and stability. The watershed that drains to the upper end of the project is
approximately 1,124 acres, and land use is primarily agricultural. The drainage area at the
downstream end of the reach is 1,174 acres.

Reaches LP2, LP3, LP4, LP5, LP6, and LP7 (Enhancement II)
Treatment of these reaches included treatment of invasive vegetation, debris removal, pocketed areas of supplemental planting, and livestock exclusion. A minimum 50-foot buffer was established along the reach and was planted with native riparian vegetation where existing vegetation was non-native or limited density. The drainage area at the downstream end of the reaches is 1,312 acres. A rock ford crossing was constructed at the crossing in the middle of Reach LP5. Both Reaches LP5 and LP6 right bank have less than 50 feet buffers, but they run parallel to a 50 feet utility easement corridor that is fully vegetated maintained herbaceous cover with some foot paths.
1.6 Construction and As-Built Conditions Stream construction and planting was completed in May 2019. The Uzzle Mitigation Site was built to design plans and guidelines. Project credits are based on design centerline, but as-built stream
lengths are shown on Table 1. The as-built survey was included in the Baseline Monitoring Report
and includes a redlined version.

1.7 Year 5 Monitoring Performance (MY5)
The Uzzle Year 5 Monitoring (MY5) activities were performed in June and September 2023. All
Year 5 monitoring data is presented below and in the appendices. The Site is on track to meet
vegetation and stream interim success criteria.

Uzzle 7 Year 5 Monitoring Report
Stream Mitigation Site October 2023
Vegetation Monitoring of the four permanent vegetation plots was completed during September 2023. Vegetation data are in Appendix C, associated photos are in Appendix B, and plot locations are in Appendix B. MY5 monitoring data indicates that all plots are exceeding the interim success criteria of 260 planted stems per acre. Planted stem densities ranged from 364 to 647 planted
stems per acre with a mean of 536 planted stems per acre across the permanent plots. A total of
11 species were documented within the plots. Volunteer species were noted in three plots, with
an average of 61 stems per acre. The average stem height in the vegetation plots was 9.2 feet.

Visual assessment of vegetation outside of the monitoring plots indicates that the herbaceous
vegetation is becoming well established throughout the project. MY5 visual assessments of the
easement boundary found no encroachments or evidence of cattle entry. Highway 70 expansion
is currently occurring along the easement boundaries. RES is monitoring the easement on a
regular basis to ensure that no encroachment or issues are impacting our easement as
construction is occurring. A few small areas of re-sprouted Chinese privet observed throughout
the easement and were treated in September 2023 and will continue as needed throughout the
monitoring period (Figure 2).

Stream Geomorphology
Geomorphology data for MY5 was collected during June 2023. Summary tables and cross section plots are in Appendix D. Overall the baseline cross sections and profile on the restoration reach relatively match the design. The cross sections on the Enhancement II reaches were included to monitor the changes in dimension post cattle exclusion and riparian planting. This year’s conditions show that shear stress and velocities have been reduced for all restoration/enhancement reaches. All reaches were designed as very coarse sand bed channels and remain classified as very coarse sand bed channels post-construction.
Visual assessment of the stream channel was performed to document signs of instability, such as
eroding banks, structural instability, or excessive sedimentation. The channel is transporting
sediment as designed and will continue to be monitored for aggradation and degradation. In
MY2, Cross Sections 1 and 2 showed signs of bank erosion along the right bank. RES believes this
erosion was caused by a log sill directly upstream of Cross Section 1 that was angled slightly
towards the point bar and by the low survival rate of the live stakes planted during construction.
Since then, live stakes have reestablished, and these cross sections have remained stable over the
last three monitoring years. These areas will be monitored closely and if conditions worsen in the
following monitoring years RES will perform additional adaptive management.

Uzzle 8 Year 5 Monitoring Report
Stream Mitigation Site October 2023
Stream Hydrology The stage recorder on LP1 recorded eight bankfull events in MY5. The highest event was 1.44 feet above the top of bank and occurred in July 2023. The gauge location can be found on Figure 2, a photo is in Appendix B, and the hydrology data is in Appendix E.
Wetland Hydrology Two groundwater wells monitor wetland hydrology in the existing wetland on site. Groundwater
Well 1 recorded a 2% hydroperiod and Groundwater Well 2 recorded a 33% hydroperiod. RES
believes that the continued low hydroperiod in GW1 is because of a localized issue and proximity
to the stream channel. RES will install an additional well in the area in the upcoming dormant
season. Groundwater well locations can be found on Figure 2 and the data is in Appendix E.

2.0 Methods

Stream monitoring was conducted using a Topcon GTS-312 Total Station. Three-dimensional coordinates associated with cross-section data were collected in the field (NAD83 State Plane feet FIPS 3200). Morphological data were collected at eight cross-sections. Survey data were imported into CAD, ArcGIS®, and Microsoft Excel® for data processing and analysis. The stage recorder includes an automatic pressure transducer flow gauge. The flow gauge was installed within the channel and will record water depth at an hourly interval. A surveyed elevation was recorded at the bed and top of bank at the stage recorder elevation to detect bankfull events. Vegetation success is being monitored at four permanent monitoring plots. Vegetation plot
monitoring follows the CVS-EEP Level 2 Protocol for Recording Vegetation, version 4.2 (Lee et al.
2008) and includes analysis of species composition and density of planted species. Data are
processed using the CVS data entry tool. In the field, the four corners of each plot were
permanently marked with PVC at the origin and metal conduit at the other corners. Photos of
each plot are to be taken from the origin each monitoring year.

Wetland hydrology is monitored to document maintenance of jurisdictional groundwater levels
in the stream restoration area (as requested by NCIRT). This is accomplished with two automatic
pressure transducer gauges (located in groundwater wells) that record daily groundwater levels.
One automatic pressure transducer is installed above ground for use as a barometric reference.
Gauges are downloaded quarterly and wetland hydroperiods are calculated during the growing
season. Gauge installation followed current regulatory guidance. Visual observations of primary and secondary wetland hydrology indicators are also recorded during quarterly site visits.

No Morphological Parameters were determined
for the Enhancement II reaches
Note: The smaller the channel the closer the survey measurements are to their limit of reliable detection, therefore inter-annual variation in morphological measurement (as a percentage) is by default magnified as channel size decereases. Some of the variability above is the result of this factor and some is due to the large amount of
depositional sediments observed.
