(Wildlands) implemented a full-delivery stream mitigation project at the Honey Mill Mitigation Site (Site) for the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Division of Mitigation Services (DMS). The project restored and enhanced a total of 8,683 linear feet (LF) of perennial and intermittent stream in Surry County, NC. The Site is located within the Rutledge, Stoney and Flat Shoal Creek – Ararat River targeted local watershed (TWL) and NC Division of Water Resources (DWR) Subbasin 03-07-03. The project is providing 4,793.432 cool stream mitigation units (SMUs) for the Yadkin River Basin Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03040101110020. The Site’s immediate drainage area and the surrounding watershed have a long history of agricultural activity. The project excludes livestock, creates stable stream banks, converts pasture to forest, and implements BMPs to filter agricultural runoff. These actions address stressors by reducing fecal, nutrient, and sediment inputs to project streams, and ultimately to the Ararat River, and reconnect instream and terrestrial habitats on the Site to upstream and downstream resources. Approximately 20.2-acres of land has been placed under permanent conservation easement to protect the Site in perpetuity. The established project goals include: • Improve stream channel stability, • Treat concentrated agricultural run-off, • Improve in-stream habitat, • Restore and enhance native floodplain and wetland vegetation, • Exclude livestock from streams, and • Permanently protect the project Site from harmful uses. The Site is meeting the required stream, vegetation, and hydrology success criteria for Monitoring Year 3 (MY3). In MY3 the Site has met the required stream success criteria. The average planted stem density is 460 stems per acre and all plots met the MY3 density criteria. Three bankfull events were documented on the Venable Creek Reach 3 in MY3. The Site is on track to meet the MY7 bankfull flow requirements. No stream areas of instability were documented, and areas monitored per IRT request have remained stable. All fences are intact, and no encroachments present at the Site as of October 2023. Invasive species areas will continue to be monitored and adaptive management measures will be implemented as necessary to benefit the ecological health of the Site.

(Wildlands) implemented a full-delivery stream mitigation project at the Honey Mill Mitigation Site (Site) for the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Division of Mitigation Services (DMS). The project restored and enhanced a total of 8,683 linear feet (LF) of perennial and intermittent stream in Surry County, NC. The Site is located within the Rutledge, Stoney and Flat Shoal Creek – Ararat River targeted local watershed (TWL)and NC Division of Water Resources (DWR) Subbasin 03-07-03. A conservation easement has been recorded and is in place on 20.2 acres. The project is providing 4,793.432 cool stream mitigation units (SMUs) for the Yadkin River Basin Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03040101110020. The Site contains eight unnamed tributaries (UTs) to Venable Creek (UT1, UT2, UT2A, UT2B, UT3, UT4, UT5, and UT6) and the mainstem of Venable Creek, which has been broken into four reaches and flows in a north easterly direction through the Site. Multiple riparian wetlands exist on-site; however, no credit is being sought for project wetlands. Please refer to Table 1 and Table 1.1 for project credits by stream and the credit summary table respectively. Annual monitoring will be conducted for seven years with close-out anticipated to commence in 2027 given the success criteria are met.

Visually inspect the perimeter of the Site to ensure no easement encroachment is occurring. No easement encroachments were observed in MY3. 1.3 Project Attributes The Site’s immediate drainage area as well as the surrounding watershed has a long history of agricultural activity. Stream and wetland functional stressors for the Site were related to both historic and current land use practices. Major stream stressors for the Site pre-restoration included livestock trampling and fecal coliform inputs, lack of stabilizing stream bank and riparian vegetation, active erosion, and incision. The effects of these stressors resulted in channel instability, degraded water quality, and the loss of both aquatic and riparian habitat throughout the Site’s watershed when compared to reference conditions. The overall Site topography consists of steep, confined, and moderately confined valleys along the tributaries and flow into a more open and gradually sloped valley along the mainstem of Venable Creek. The project begins at a roadway culvert located at the intersection of Little Mountain Church Road and Venable Creek. The watersheds for UT3, UT4, and UT6 are roughly bound by Venable Farm Road to the west. All of the reach watersheds are encompassed by the Venable Creek watershed, which extends south past Little Mountain Church Road. The Site is typically defined by forested and agricultural land use with sporadic development of rural homes. Pre-construction conditions are outlined in Table 3 below and Table 8 of Appendix C.

The stream, vegetation, and hydrologic success criteria for the Site follows the approved success criteria presented in the Honey Mill Mitigation Plan (Wildlands, 2020). 1.4.1 Vegetation Assessment Supplemental Planting Background, IRT Approval, and Table 7 Densities Please note that Table 7 only summarizes stem densities for the species included in the approved Mitigation Plan Performance Standard. However, with IRT approval, Wildlands conducted supplemental planting in 2.5 acres of wetland across the Site to support woody stem growth in March of 2022. During the same planting, additional stems were also planted in the enhancement II reaches with existing forest (approximately 7 acres) per IRT request. All species approval and substitutions were documented in the MY1 Annual Monitoring Report (Wildlands, 2021) and MY2 Annual Monitoring Report (Wildlands, 2022). Please refer to the IRT approved planted supplemental stems species and quantities in Appendix F. The approved supplemental wetland and riparian species have been included in the vegetative survey and factored into the density and species composition for all vegetation data analysis as “Approved Post Mitigation Plan” species. To account for the IRT approved supplemental species please refer to Table 6 “Post Mitigation Plan Performance Standard” densities discussed in the results below. Permanent and Mobile Vegetation Plot Results The MY3 permanent plot planted stem density using the “Post Mitigation Plan” performance standard ranged from 324 to 486 stems per acre. All densities within the permanent plots (9/9) exceeded the MY3 criteria of 320 stems per acre. The MY3 “Post Mitigation Plan” planted stem densities in random mobile vegetation plots ranged from 324 to 688 stems per acre and all 5 mobile plots met the MY3 density criteria. The mobile plots are distributed across the Site to provide representative data of the open planting riparian corridor. IRT Requested Forested Transect Results As requested by the IRT in MY2, two forested woody vegetation transects have been added to monitor the survivorship of the shaded supplemental planting and will be assessed through MY7 but are not held to the Site’s density or height requirements. Forested transect 1 was established on UT2 R1 and had a total stem count of 14 planted stems in MY2 and 13 stems in MY3 resulting in a 93% survival rate. Honey Mill Mitigation Site Monitoring Year 3 Annual Report – FINAL 1-7 Forested transect 2 was established on UT4 and had a total stem count of 11 stems in MY2 and 9 stems in MY3 for an 82% survival rate. Vegetation Data Results Summary Overall, 100% (14/14) vegetation plots met the MY3 density criteria. The average stem height was 3 feet and is on track to meet MY5 criteria. Additionally, the overall planted density for the Site in MY2 was 460 stems per acre. There was an average of 7 species present per plot in MY3, despite dense herbaceous cover in wetlands areas. Following the supplemental planting in March 2022 woody stem survivorship, vigor, and diversity have improved substantially across the Site when compared to the initial planting. Please see the Current Condition Plan View (CCPV) maps for permanent vegetation plot locations, MY3 mobile plot locations, and the March 2022 wetland and shaded supplemental planting areas. Vegetation plot and vegetation transect photographs are located in Appendix A. All vegetation summary data for plots and transects are in Appendix B. 1.4.2 Stream Assessment Riffle cross-sections (XS) on the restoration reaches should be stable and show little change in bankfull area, maximum depth ratio, and width-to-depth ratio. All riffle cross-sections should fall within the parameters defined for the designated stream type. If any changes do occur, these changes will be evaluated to assess whether the stream channel is showing signs of instability. Indicators of instability include a vertically incising thalweg and/or eroding channel banks. Morphological surveys for MY3 were conducted in June 2023. Cross-section survey results indicate that channel dimensions are stable and functioning as designed on all restoration reaches with minimal adjustments from MY1 to MY3. There are no indicators of stream instability across this Site in MY3. 1.4.3 Stream Hydrology Assessment An automated pressure transducer is being used to monitor for bankfull flow events. Henceforth, this device is referred to as an automatic “crest gage (CG)” of CG1. A manual crest gage located at XS7 is also being used to corroborate the results of CG1. At the end of the seven-year monitoring period, four or more bankfull flow events must have occurred in separate years. One bankfull event was recorded on Site in MY2 by CG1 on Venable Creek Reach 3. In MY3, three bankfull events were recorded by CG1 on 4/28/23, 6/20/23, and 8/6/23. Additionally, evidence of a bankfull event was captured at the manual crest gage in August 2023. Therefore, two bankfull events have been recorded in two separate years, the Site is on track to meet the performance criteria of four bankfull events occurring in separate years during the monitoring period. The 30th and 70th percentile data were collected from the Mount Airy 2 W, WETS station for years 1971-2020. As of August 2023, there has been an annual precipitation total of 30.95 inches per USGS 362416080334345 RAINGAGE AT ARARAT RIVER AT ARARAT, NC. The amount of precipitation the Site experiences is likely to fall in the average range for MY3. The manual crest gage and automatic crest gage locations are included on the MY3 CCPV Figures 1a - 1d. Please refer to Appendix D for hydrology summary data and gage plots, and the Supplemental Photographs located in Appendix A for bankfull documentation at the manual crest gage. Honey Mill Mitigation Site Monitoring Year 3 Annual Report – FINAL 1-8 1.4.4 Areas of Concern and Management Activity Stream Stability The streams appear stable and functioning with vegetation developing on the channel banks. No areas of instability were noted during the MY3 visual assessment that took place on 8/30/23. Per IRT request, a few areas that appeared to be stabilizing in MY2 have continued to be monitored in MY3. The spring wetland seep in the right floodplain of Venable Creek Reach 3 provides important floodplain storage and is filling in with stabilizing vegetation. The pour point from the seep to the channel is stable. Wildlands will continue to monitor the seep in future monitoring years. UT2B (not for credit) which was dry during the MY2 Site walk, was flowing during the MY3 visual assessment on 8/30/23 and has remained stable. During dry times of the year, UT3 flows subsurface to the Venable Creek Reach 3 confluence. A marker was installed at the UT3 confluence to monitor vertical incision and no incision has occurred since installation in MY2. The meander bend above the UT3 confluence has continued to fill in with willows armoring the bank after being live staked in before the start of the MY3 growing season. All of these areas have been monitored and photographed in MY3. Please refer to Appendix A for the supplemental photolog. All culverts, crossing areas, and BMPs have remained stable with riparian vegetation filling in nicely in the surrounding riparian corridor. The visual assessment tables and Supplemental BMP photographs are located in Appendix A. Easement Exception and Fencing There are three areas of easement exceptions that were documented at baseline conditions and will remain on the CCPV maps throughout the seven-year monitoring period per IRT request. No easement encroachments were observed in MY3. Additional fencing was installed and any breaks in fencing were also repaired in September 2022. A full boundary inspection has been completed in MY3. All fences on the Site are intact and no encroachments were present as of October 2023. Invasive Species Management There were four established wooded areas with understory invasive species including multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora), Japanese barberry (Berberis thunbergia), and Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense). within the project area. These areas occupy less than 2% of the easement and are located within the existing forests along UT2, UT2A, UT3, and UT6, as shown on CCPV Figures 1a - 1d. Treatments in MY2 were effective and there was a reduction in density of invasives within the mapped polygons from MY2 to MY3. In order to continue to keep the population in check throughout MY3, re- sprout treatments took place in May and July of 2023. Invasive areas will continue to be monitored for re-sprouts and treated as necessary. The open planting areas have established native herbaceous vegetation and are largely free of invasive species. See the vegetation condition assessment Table 5 in Appendix A. 1.5 Monitoring Year 3 Summary Overall, the Site has met the required stream success criteria for MY3. The average planted stem density was 460 stems per acre and all vegetation plots met the MY3 density requirement of 320 stems per acre. Geomorphic surveys indicate that cross-section bankfull dimensions closely match the baseline monitoring with some minor adjustments, and streams are functioning as intended. Three bankfull events were documented in MY3, and the Site is on track to meet the MY7 bankfull flow requirements. Honey Mill Mitigation Site Monitoring Year 3 Annual Report – FINAL 1-9 The MY3 visual assessment identified a few areas of invasive vegetation re-sprouts in wooded enhancement II reaches that were treated as needed throughout the year. The open planting areas have established native herbaceous vegetation and are largely free of invasive species. No stream areas of instability were documented. No easement encroachment was observed on the Site and boundary is intact. Wildlands will continue to monitor the Site and adaptive management measures will be implemented as necessary to benefit the ecological health of the Site. Honey Mill Mitigation Site Monitoring Year 3 Annual Report – FINAL 2-1 Section 2: METHODOLOGY Geomorphic data were collected following the standards outlined in The Stream Channel Reference Site: An Illustrated Guide to Field Techniques (Harrelson et al., 1994) and in the Stream Restoration: A Natural Channel Design Handbook (Doll et al., 2003). All Integrated Current Condition Mapping was recorded using a Trimble handheld GPS with sub-meter accuracy and processed using Pathfinder and ArcGIS. Stream gages were installed in riffles and monitored quarterly. Hydrologic monitoring instrument installation and monitoring methods are in accordance with the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE, 2003) standards. Vegetation monitoring protocols followed the Carolina Vegetation Survey-EEP Level 2 Protocol (Lee et al., 2008); however, vegetation data processing follows the NCDMS Vegetation Data Entry Tool and Vegetation Plot Data Table (NCDMS, 2020).
