3. Project Description
3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this
application: The project area is located within a rural watershed in northwestern Chatham County, NC. The site consists
of agricultural lands utilized for livestock grazing. The seven unnamed tributaries to South Fork Cane Creek and the
associated riparian buffers have been heavily impacted due to livestock access. The surrounding floodplain and
watershed is primarily used for pasture and livestock grazing. On -site wetlands are impaired due to cattle trampling and
grazing.
3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
The project site includes 21 jurisdictional wetlands, approximately 0.66 acres in total size.
3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property:
Approximately 6,231 linear feet of intermittent and perennial channel within the project area.
3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
The primary goal for the project is to reclaim the natural and beneficial functions of the floodplain and stream channel
within the seven unnamed tributaries to South Fork Cane Creek through restoration activities. Terrestrial riparian habitat
will be improved through native vegetation plantings. The existing wetlands will enhanced through cattle exclusion and
native vegetation plantings.
3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
Stream enhancement and restoration will be achieved through natural channel design. Stream enhancement will include
minor bank stabilization, habitat improvement through the installation of instream structures, fencing out cattle, and
planting of a native riparian buffer as appropriate. Restoration activities will involve excavation of new channel and
floodplain, installation of instream structures, planting a native riparian buffer and fencing out of cattle. Trackhoes will be
used for in- stream work. A conservation easement will be recorded on the project streams and corresponding riparian
buffer.

2h. Comments: Impacts to existing wetland areas were avoided to the extent possible during design. Minor grading and fill will
be required on the edge of several wetlands for construction activities associated with the stream and floodplain restoration.
Portions of Wetlands K. N. O. R, and U will be dredged to restore the degraded stream channel within these areas. While
there are both permanent and temporary impacts. the restoration of the stream channe?s and floodplain are expected to
promote an overall net improvement to the aquatic resources within the project corridor. After the completion of minor grading
and stream corridor restoration, soils will be disked and native riparian vegetation will be planted. Overali. the project will
facilitate wetland uplift through the restoration of the stream and vegetation within the riparian corridor.

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.
Due to the nature of stream mitigation projects, impacts to on -site channels are necessary. The project will use natural
channel design techniques throughout to have an overall positive impact, enhancing and restoring stream function and
habitat by improving bed features in the streams and establishing flood storage. Biodegradable coir fiber matting and
native vegetation will be used to stabilize the newly graded banks throughout the project. The project design focused on
avoiding and minimizing wetland impacts as much as possible. Wetland areas inside the limits of disturbance will be
flagged with safety fence during construction to avoid unintended impacts. This will be denoted in the final construction
plans Erosion and Sediment Control sheets, details, and specifications.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Construction practices will follow guidelines from the NC Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual.
