3600 Glenwood Avenue. Suite 100 Raleigh, NC 27612 Corporate Headquarters 6575 West Loop South, Suite 300 Bellaire, TX 77401 Main: 713.520.5400 res.us October 21, 2023 Kim Isenhour U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Regulatory Division 3331 Heritage Trade Drive, Suite 105 Wake Forest, NC 27587 Cloud & Banner Year 4 Monitoring Report (SAW-2016-02451) Ms. Isenhour, Please find attached the Cloud & Banner Year 4 Monitoring Report. In Year 4, all 20 vegetation plots met the 320 stems per acre success criteria. Six bankfull events were recorded on the stage recorder on UT4. This marks the fourth year of bankfull events in separate years, meeting the bankfull event success criteria. The flow gauge on UT2-A measured 223 consecutive flow days, the flow gauge on UT4 measured 209 consecutive flow days, and the flow gauge on UT6-A recorded 156 consecutive flow days. Additionally, 12 of the 13 groundwater wells met the 10 percent hydroperiod success criteria. Chinese privet and Kudzu was treated along UT6-B in December 2022. A few additional areas of Chinese privet were noted during MY4 monitoring and will be treated in the upcoming monitoring year. As of September 2023, the log jam structures have remained anchored in place where they were resecured in June 2022. Updated photos of the repaired structures and their updated locations are in the report. Year 3 credit release letter comments and responses: Casey Haywood, USACE 1. I Appreciate the layout of the cross-sectional data that included the tables. It was difficult to see the channel in many of the photos. I agree with last year’s comment, that it would be helpful to include a few supplemental winter photos to show stream features. No cross-section monitoring was completed in MY4 in accordance with the Mitigation Plan. RES will consider this request depending on the date of cross section monitoring in MY5. 2. Please continue to monitor the log jam structures on Back Creek. To clarify, were they reinstalled in roughly the same locations? It would be helpful to include the location/stationing on the Stream Problem Areas table in comparison to their original locations. Updated photos for the log jam structures are included in Appendix B. The log jam structure most upstream was originally installed at station 15+11, and it was resecured at station 16+50. The downstream log jam has remained in the general vicinity as the original proposed station of 35+46. 2 3. Overall, vegetation appears to be doing well. Noted that kudzu and privet on UT6-A will be treated (1.76 acres). Restoration on the lower portion of UT2 was PII (below the existing wetland). Please use a random veg transect to capture this area in MY4. RES mistakenly conducted a random vegetation transect above the existing wetland on UT2. RES will plan on completing a random vegetation transect below the existing wetland area in MY5 monitoring. Erin Davis, NCDWR 1. DWR appreciates the summary information and responses to previous IRT comments included in the cover letter. We encourage continuing this practice with other bank project monitoring report submittals. Noted. 2. The report had a good level detail provided in the narrative, CCPV and photos. I would just ask that repairs like the log jam also be called out on the CCPV. And regarding the log jam, please include a follow-up stabilization status photo in the MY4 report. Updated photos included in Appendix B and locations of the log 3. Since groundwater data is being reported on before the end of the growing season, I’m glad that the data from last fall is included on each graph to close any year-to-year data gap. Noted. Todd Bowers, USEPA 1. Vegetation appears to be performing quite well in terms of density and diversity. I am not quite impressed with the vigor shown in the photos so I am keen on seeing the MY5 height data. Noted. 2. Stream cross sections are about as stable as I have seen. Noted. 3. Supplemental Planting to a small low-density area near Veg Plot 11 occurred in March 2022. Supplemental planting in March 2022 deemed successful via visual observation during MY4 monitoring. 4. No areas of encroachment noted. No further encroachment noted in MY4. 5. Only one ground water well is displaying consistently poor wetland hydrologic performance (AW3) for consecutive days of saturation during the growing season. AW3 continues to show poor wetland hydrologic performance. RES believes this is a well specific or location specific issue and will install an additional well in the area to gather more hydrologic data. 6. Corrective actions towards log jams and invasive species is complete or soon to be completed. Actions to resecure log jams occurred in June 2022. The boulder anchor technique proved to be successful as of September 2023. 3 RES is requesting a 5% stream credit release (206.2 SMUs) and a 5% wetland credit (0.36 WMUs) for the completion of the Year 4 report. Additionally, RES is requesting a 10% stream credit release (412.50 SMUs) for meeting the success criteria of the stream bankfull performance standard. Please see the enclosed credit release timeline, an updated credit ledger, and Year 4 report.

Summary of Groundwater Monitoring Results MY4 Groundwater Hydrographs Cloud & Banner 1 Year 4 Monitoring Report Stream and Wetland Mitigation Project October 2023 1.0 Project Summary 1.1 Project Location and Description The Cloud and Banner Stream and Wetland Mitigation Project (the Project) is located within a watershed dominated by agricultural, forested and low-density residential land use in eastern Alamance County, North Carolina, approximately three miles north of Mebane. The Project streams and wetlands were significantly impacted by hydrologic alterations and agricultural practices. The Project involves the restoration and protection of streams and wetlands in the Haw River Sub watershed of the Jordan Lake watershed, in the Cape Fear River Basin. The Project consists of stream restoration, enhancement, and preservation on a segment of Back Creek and several tributaries that drain directly to Back Creek. The Project presents 8,150 linear feet of Stream Restoration generating 4,238 Stream Mitigation Units (SMU), and 18.05 acres of wetland mitigation generating 8.20 Wetland Mitigation Units (WMUs). A combination of Priority 1 and Priority 2 Restoration, Levels II and III Enhancement, and Preservation were applied to stream reaches in the project area. Benefits include storing excess water during flood events, preventing erosion of stream banks, reducing in-stream sedimentation, and removing nutrients. SMU totals were adjusted using the most recent non-standard buffer width guidance documents. The Site is located within the Cape Fear River Basin, within Cataloging Unit USGS HUC 03030002, 14-digit USGS Hydrologic Code 03030002030070. The current State classification for Back Creek is Water Supply-II (WS-II), High Quality Waters (HQW), and Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW) (NCDWQ, 2011). The Project’s total easement area is 59.76 acres. The main hydrologic features include Back Creek and four Unnamed Tributaries (UTs) to Back Creek; UT2, UT4, UT5, and UT6. There are also six areas of wetland mitigation. The stream design approach for the Project combined 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 “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 in an effort to identify the design discharge. The Project 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 Project will be transferred to Unique Places to Save (UP2S). UP2S will be responsible for periodic inspection of the Project to ensure that restrictions required in the Conservation Easement or the deed restriction document(s) are upheld. Cloud & Banner 2 Year 4 Monitoring Report Stream and Wetland Mitigation Project October 2023 1.2 Project Goals and Objectives The Project was identified as a stream and wetland restoration opportunity to improve water quality, habitat, and hydrology within the Cape Fear River Basin. This project provides SMUs and WMUs to be applied as compensatory mitigation for unavoidable impacts to waters of the United States under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C 1344) and support the goal of “no net loss” of aquatic resources in the United States. The principal goal of this project is to address degraded water quality and nutrient input stressors identified in the 2009 Cape Fear RBRP. The project goals and related objectives are outlined below. Project goals include: • Improve water transport from watershed to the channel in a non-erosive stable channel; • Improve flood flow attenuation on site and downstream by allowing for overbanks flows and connection to the floodplain; • Improve instream habitat; • Restore and enhance native floodplain vegetation; • Restore and enhance wetland hydrology and soils; • Restore appropriate riparian and wetland plant communities; • Preserve high quality stream and wetland resources Project goals are addressed through the following objectives: • Designed and reconstructed stable stream channels with appropriate pattern, dimension, and profile based on reference reach conditions; • Added in-stream structures and bank stabilization measures to protect restored and enhanced streams; • Installed habitat features such as brush toes, constructed riffles, woody materials, and pools of varying depth to restored and enhanced streams; • Reduced bank height ratios and increased entrenchment ratios to reference reach conditions; • Increased forested riparian buffers to at least fifty feet on both sides of the channel along the project reaches with an appropriate riparian plant community; • Raised stream bed elevations adjacent to wetland restoration and enhancement areas, plugged surface ditches, and planted native wetland plant species; • Established a permanent conservation easement on the Project to protect wetlands, stream channels and their associated buffers in perpetuity 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 Cloud & Banner 3 Year 4 Monitoring Report Stream and Wetland Mitigation Project October 2023 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 down-cutting 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 for all measured riffle cross-sections on a given restored reach. Channel stability should be demonstrated through a minimum of four bankfull events documented in the seven-year monitoring period. Stream restoration reaches will be monitored to document at least intermittent surface flow. This will be accomplished through direct observation and the use of flow gauges. Intermittent reaches must demonstrate a minimum of 30 consecutive days of flow. Flow gauges were installed on UT4, UT2-C, and UT6-A. 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. Wetland Success Criteria The NRCS has a current Wetlands (WETs) table for Alamance County upon which to base a normal rainfall amount and average growing season. The closest comparable data station was determined to be the WETS station for Burlington Fire Station #5, NC. The growing season for Alamance County is 244 days long, extending from March 16 to November 15, and is based on a daily minimum temperature greater than 28 degrees Fahrenheit occurring in five of ten years. Based upon field observation across the Project, the NRCS mapping units show a good correlation to actual site conditions in areas of the site. Most of the soils at the Project are most similar to the local alluvial land map unit. Mitigation guidance for Common Piedmont Soil Series does not list local alluvial land but suggests for a Typic Endoaquults a hydroperiod of 10 to 12 percent during Cloud & Banner 4 Year 4 Monitoring Report Stream and Wetland Mitigation Project October 2023 which the water table is within 12 inches of the surface during the growing season. Hydric soils documented throughout the Project are most like the Typic Endoaquults of Local alluvial land where the soils are characterized by having a clayey (argillic) horizon. Depressional areas will have longer hydroperiods due to storage capacity. Based on the mitigation guidance, hydrologic success for these soils is greater than 10 percent saturation during the growing season. Vegetation Success Criteria Specific and measurable success criteria for plant density within the riparian buffers on the site follow IRT Guidance. Vegetation monitoring plots are a minimum of 0.02 acres in size and cover a minimum of two percent of the planted area. Vegetation monitoring shall occur annually between July 15 and leaf drop. The interim measures of vegetative success for the site are the survival of at least 320 planted three-year old trees per acre at the end of Year 3, 260 five-year old trees that are at least 7 feet tall at the end of Year 5, and the final vegetative success criteria is 210 trees per acre with an average height of 10 feet at the end of Year 7. Volunteer trees are to be counted, identified to species, and included in the yearly monitoring reports, but do not count towards the success criteria of total planted stems unless they have been in the plot for more than two years. 1.4 Project Components The summarized credits below reflect the as-built conditions of the site. Following Mitigation Plan approval, a design change was made to UT2-C that resulted in more of the creditable channel being aligned within the easement area. This change is detailed further in the Section 1.6. RES requested and received approval to use the as-built crediting scheme for this project in replacement of the mitigation plan credits as changes were caused by design considerations rather than construction or survey. RES submitted a mitigation plan modification request letter in coordination with the USACE Project Manager and IRT review. The net difference between Mitigation Plan and As-Built stream credits was an increase of 78 SMUs with wetland credits remaining the same. Project credits are detailed more in Table 1; Appendix A. and Figure 2; Appendix B displays design centerline with as-built top of bank to compare how streams were built as they were designed. The constructed alignment is very close to the design. The Cloud and Banner Project Mitigation Credits Summary of Mitigation Credits Stream Riparian Wetland Non-Riparian Wetland Totals 4,238 8.20 N/A Cloud & Banner 5 Year 4 Monitoring Report Stream and Wetland Mitigation Project October 2023 1.5 Design/Approach Stream Back Creek Enhancement Level II and Preservation were used along Back Creek to address existing impairments, particularly, floodplain dislocation, bank erosion, and buffer degradation. The watershed that drains through the project is approximately 14.52 square miles, and land use is primarily forested and agricultural. The project addresses limited instream habitat and bank erosion by grading existing banks to reestablish bankfull depth and installing bank protection and habitat measures in select areas. The riparian buffer was also revegetated along the entire reach to a minimum width of 75 feet, but up to and exceeding 150 feet along the majority of the reach. A 63-linear foot reach break was inserted downstream of the existing UT2 alignment to allow for an existing ford crossing to be retained and rehabilitated. Near the confluence of UT2, Back Creek partially flows outside of the easement boundary for 399 feet before it re-enters the boundaries. This section of Back Creek does not generate credit but received Enhancement Level II treatment. Finally, below the confluence with UT5, there is 621 linear feet of preservation until the terminus of Back Creek within the easement. Reach UT2 A combination of Preservation, Priority I Restoration, and Priority II Restoration was used for Reach UT2 to address existing impairments, particularly aggradation, degradation, bank erosion and floodplain dislocation. The UT2 watershed is approximately 51 acres, and land use is an even mix of forest and rural residential. Priority I Restoration was used for the upstream portion of UT2 but is credited at 1:1.5. The restoration approach involved meandering the proposed channel within the natural valley, installing grade control/ habitat structures, backfilling the existing stream and excavating a new channel. A minimum buffer width of 50 feet is provided for all portions of the reach. Preservation was used for the portion of UT2 located within the existing wetland. Priority II Restoration was used for UT2 just downstream of the existing wetland. This reach has a 79-foot crossing that is not used to generate credit but received Restoration treatment. The restoration approach involved meandering the channel within the natural valley, installing grade control/ habitat structures, backfilling the existing stream and excavating a new channel. A minimum buffer width of 50 feet was provided for all portions of the reach. Reach UT4 A combination of Priority I Restoration and Priority II Restoration was used for Reach UT4 to address existing impairments, particularly degradation, bank erosion and floodplain dislocation. The UT4 watershed is approximately 73 acres, and the land use is heavily forested. The restoration approach transitions from Priority I to Priority II as the stream profile lowers to tie to Back Creek. Both restoration approaches involved meandering the channel within the natural valley, installing grade control/ habitat structures, and backfilling the existing stream. The Priority I portion was reconnected to its natural floodplain, and a new floodplain was excavated for the Cloud & Banner 6 Year 4 Monitoring Report Stream and Wetland Mitigation Project October 2023 Priority II section. A minimum buffer width of 50 feet was provided for all portions of the reach. A 24-linear foot easement break was inserted in the middle of the reach to accommodate a ford crossing. Reach UT5 Enhancement Level III was used for Reach UT5 to address existing impairments, particularly buffer degradation. The UT5 watershed is approximately 155 acres, and the land use is heavily forested. A minimum buffer width of 50 feet was provided for all portions of the reach. UT5 received invasive species treatment and supplemental planting areas (Figure 10). Reach UT6 A combination of Restoration and Preservation was used for Reach UT6 to address existing impairments, particularly degradation, bank erosion, and floodplain dislocation. The UT6 watershed is approximately 32 acres, and land use is an even mix of forest and rural residential. Restoration was used for the upstream portion of UT6. This included the installation of grade control structures to step down to the floodplain/wetland area, as well as floodplain grading/reconnection along the right bank. Preservation was used for UT6 beginning at its intersection with the existing wetland and extending to the confluence with Back Creek. There is a portion of UT6 between the restoration and preservation treatments that hits the floodplain and dissipates into the wetland that is not generating stream credit. A 30-linear foot easement break was inserted in the middle of the reach where there is no jurisdictional stream channel. Wetland Wetland A - Wetland A is preservation at a ratio of 10:1, but benefits from the channel filling of the old UT4 alignment during Restoration and allowing reconnection of the hydrologic system to the wetland restoration component of Wetland B. Wetland B - Portions of Wetland B were re-established at a credit ratio of 1:1, and some were enhanced at a credit ratio of 3:1. Those areas being re-established benefit from the Priority I stream restoration treatment along UT4. Additionally, this area was planted with native tree and shrub species commonly found in Bottomland Hardwood Forests. The areas being enhanced in WB benefit from the adjacent wetland preservation and by providing connectivity to the restoration component of Wetland B. Wetland C - Portions of Wetland C were re-established at a credit ratio of 1:1, and some were enhanced at a credit ratio of 3:1. Those areas being restored benefit from the plugging of several ditches in the wetland, and the planting of native tree and shrub species commonly found in Bottomland Hardwood Forests. The area being enhanced was planted with native tree and shrub species commonly found in Bottomland Hardwood Forests and benefit from the plugging of adjacent ditches. Cloud & Banner 7 Year 4 Monitoring Report Stream and Wetland Mitigation Project October 2023 Wetland D - Portions of Wetland D were re-established at a credit ratio of 1:1, some were re-established at a credit ratio of 2:1; the remaining portions were preserved at a ratio of 10:1. Wetland D benefits from the restoration on the upstream portion of UT2. This included removal of an undersized 15-inch CMP and corresponding crossing that have caused significant sediment deposition upstream. The existing spoil pile located along the right bank from the crossing downstream to the intersection of UT2 was also removed. Moreover, portions of wetland D that were not forested were planted with native tree and shrub species commonly found in headwater forests. Wetland E and F - Wetlands E and F are preservation only: these areas remain intact and benefit from the establishment of the permanent conservation easement. 1.6 Construction and As-Built Conditions Stream construction and planting was completed in April 2020. Overall, the Cloud & Banner Mitigation Site was built to design plans and guidelines, with a few changes. Mitigation Plan versus As-Built stream length differences (Table 1; Appendix A) are within the normal ranges except for UT2-C (detailed below). A few changes were made to UT2 and UT6-A after mitigation plan submittal and approval, and during construction. The first change was downstream of the ford crossing on UT2-C. Channel design was revised to prevent impacts to the adjacent parcel. RES had discussed the proposed impacts with the adjacent property owner and both parties reached a verbal agreement for a temporary construction easement. Unfortunately, the written agreement was never completed due to unforeseen concerns from the adjacent property owner. RES therefore revised the design to eliminate the need for a temporary construction easement by realigning the stream to meet Back Creek without grading on the adjacent property owner’s parcel. This change increased the length of UT2-C in the easement by 84 linear feet as well as eliminated an impact to Wetland F, preserving 0.02 acre. The next change was the addition of a crossing to the top of UT2-A (outside of the easement) which consists of two 24” RCP culverts. This change increased the net impacts to Waters of the US on the project and therefore, modifications of the 404 and 401 permits were obtained. Also, on UT2, two log sills (3+85 and 6+38) were shifted upstream (3+50 and 6+00) to allow channel top of bank to match the existing floodplain. On UT6-A, the proposed log drops shifted in location and two additional log drops were added during construction to address channel degradation that had progressed between design and the start of construction. Lastly, the log jam that was installed on Back Creek at 35+50 washed downstream during a storm due to incorrect installation and was re-secured with stronger hardware and according to specifications in its new location at 37+00. A redline version of the as- built survey calls out these changes and is included with the sealed plat in the Baseline Report. Planting plan changes included removing green ash, northern red oak, water oak, and paw paw and replacing them with pin oak, red mulberry, southern crabapple, bald cypress, sugarberry, and Cloud & Banner 8 Year 4 Monitoring Report Stream and Wetland Mitigation Project October 2023 silky dogwood. Planting plan changes were based on bare root availability. Minor monitoring device location changes were made during as-built installation including adding an extra random plot and adding flow gauges to UT2-A, UT4, and UT6-A. 1.7 Year 4 Monitoring Performance (MY4) The Cloud & Banner Year 4 Monitoring activities were performed in September 2023. Geomorphology data was not collected in MY4 per the approved Mitigation Plan. All Year 4 Monitoring data is present below and in the appendices. The Site is on track to meeting vegetation, stream, and wetland interim success criteria. Vegetation Monitoring of the 14 permanent vegetation plots and six random vegetation plots was completed in September 2023. Vegetation data are in Appendix C, associated photos are in Appendix B, and plot locations are in Appendix B. MY4 monitoring data indicates that 20 out of 20 plots are exceeding the interim success criteria of 320 planted stems per acre. Planted stem densities ranged from 486 to 971 planted stems per acre with an average of 698 planted stems per acre across all the plots. A total of 15 planted species were documented within the plots. Volunteer species were noted at Year 4 monitoring, increasing the total species count to 16, and are expected to increase in upcoming years. The average planted stem height was 3.5 feet. Although the average planted stem height for all trees in MY4 is relatively low, the top eight trees in each plot (which still meets the 320 stems/acre success requirement) average stem height is 4.9 ft. RES believes that some of the wetland plots are lowering the average stem height. RES will continue to monitor plots stem heights closely. Visual assessment of vegetation outside of the monitoring plots indicates that the herbaceous vegetation is becoming well established throughout the project. A few small areas of re-sprouted Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) and kudzu (Pueraria montana) were observed along UT6 and in the wooded areas. These areas were treated in December 2022 and will continue to be treated as needed throughout the monitoring period. In MY4, Chinese privet was observed in wooded areas along UT5 and a few small areas along UT2-A (Figure 2). These areas will be treated in the upcoming monitoring period. Stream Geomorphology Geomorphology data was not collected in MY4 as per the Mitigation Plan. Geomorphology data for MY3 was collected during June 2022. Summary tables and cross section plots are in Appendix D. Overall the current year’s cross sections relatively match the design. The current years conditions show that shear stress and velocities have been reduced for all restoration/enhancement reaches. All reaches were designed as sand bed channels and remain classified as sand bed channels post-construction. Cloud & Banner 9 Year 4 Monitoring Report Stream and Wetland Mitigation Project October 2023 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. A beaver dam at the confluence of UT4 and Back Creek was noted and removed in April 2021. No additional signs of beaver were observed in MY4. In April 2022, it was observed that both log jam structures in Back Creek had dislodged and moved downstream. In June 2022, RES resecured both structures with boulders, instead of duckbill anchors. The log jam structures are functioning as proposed with the boulder anchors. Recent photos of the structures are in Appendix B and the locations in Figure 2. Stream Hydrology Three flow gauges and one stage recorder were installed in April 2020. In MY4, UT2-A documented 223 consecutive flow days, UT4 documented 209 consecutive flow days, and UT6-A documented 156 consecutive flow days. The stage recorder on UT4 recorded six bankfull events with the highest event being 2.06 feet above the top of bank. This marks the fourth year of bankfull events in separate years, meeting the bankfull event success criteria. The increase in flow days is likely attributed to the increase of rainfall and the inclusion of the last four months of the 2022 calendar year. Stream hydrology data is in Appendix E and monitoring device locations are on Figure 2. Wetland Hydrology Ten groundwater wells were installed prior to construction in May 2017 and two additional groundwater wells were installed in April 2020. An additional well (AW13) was installed on June 16, 2022. The four gauges that are located in preservation areas are used as reference. MY4 groundwater well data showed 12 of the 13 wells met the wetland success criteria. Hydroperiods ranged from five to 39 percent. Well three continues to not meet the success criteria of 10 percent and RES believes that this is due to a location and well specific issue. RES believes the lack of success is due to well installation error. The visual assessment of wetland vegetation in the surrounding areas suggests that this area should meet hydroperiod success criteria. Additionally, our data suggests that this area drains quickly and if March/May would have had normal precipitation, the well would have met hydroperiod success criteria. Therefore, additional wells will be installed adjacent to Well Three in the upcoming dormant season. RES expects groundwater levels to continue to improve in Wetland B over the monitoring period. Well nine was destroyed at some point in early 2023 and reinstalled in June 2023. Therefore, data was only collected from June 13 – September 6, 2023. Well 11 data was corrupted from July 11 – September 6, 2023, and therefore, was not included in the well chart. This hobo will be replaced in the upcoming dormant season. Groundwater well locations can be found on Figure 2 and associated data is in Appendix E. Cloud & Banner 10 Year 4 Monitoring Report Stream and Wetland Mitigation Project October 2023 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 14 cross-sections. Survey data were imported into CAD, ArcGIS®, and Microsoft Excel® for data processing and analysis. The stage recorder and flow gauges include an automatic pressure transducer set in PVC piping in the channel. The elevation of the bed and top of bank of the stage recorder location was recorded to be able to document presence of water in the channel and out of bank events. The elevation of the bed and the crest of the downstream riffle are used for the flow gauges to determine flow events. Visual observations (i.e. wrack or debris lines) will also be used to document out of bank events. Vegetation success is being monitored at 14 permanent monitoring plots and six random 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. The random plots are to be collected in locations where there are no permanent vegetation plots. Random plots will most likely be collected in the form of 100 square meter belt transects with variable dimensions. Tree species and height will be recorded for each planted stem and the transects will be mapped and new locations will be monitored in subsequent years. Wetland hydrology is monitored to document success in wetland restoration and enhancement areas where hydrology was affected. This is accomplished with 12 automatic pressure transducer gauges (located in groundwater wells) that record daily groundwater levels. Eight have been installed within the wetland restoration area and four within reference wetland preservation areas. 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.
