Dear Mr. Reid:
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. (Wildlands) has reviewed the Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) comments
from the Draft Year 4 Monitoring Report for the Key Mill Mitigation Site. The report and associated digital
files have been updated to reflect those comments. The Final MY4 Report is included. DMS’ comments
are listed below in bold. Wildlands’ responses to DMS’ comments are noted in italics.
DMS’ comment: Please ensure the Monitoring Phase Performance Bond has been updated and
approved by Kristie Corson before invoicing for Task 10.
Wildlands’ response: Wildlands has secured the monitoring bond for MY5, and it was approved by Kristie
Corson on January 31, 2024.
DMS’ comment: In an effort to identify and resolve property issues early during the monitoring period,
please verify that the conservation easement boundary has been walked, marking and signage is up to
spec, fencing is intact, and no encroachments have been identified.
Wildlands’ response: Wildlands walked the boundary in October of 2023 to ensure that the conservation
easement boundary was intact in regard to signage and fencing, as well as, free of encroachments. In early
2024, Wildlands will walk the boundary to reverify the survey boundary monuments.
DMS’ comment: Thanks for including the IRT requested supplemental mobile plot in the 2022 replant
area. Please include the 2022 supplemental planting on Table 14.
Wildlands’ response: Wildlands has included the 2022 supplemental planting date on Table 14.
DMS’ comment: Murdannia was discussed at the 2023 IRT Credit Release Meeting and WEI was
actively treating the species. Invasive species treatment occurred in May and November 2023
targeting cattails, tree of heaven, privet, and multiflora rose according to the report. Can WEI provide
an update on the site condition as it relates to murdannia?
Wildlands’ response: Wildlands has now included in Section 2.2 of the report that, “In August of 2023,
marsh dewflower (Murdannia keisak) was chemically treated in some of the riffles along UT3C. The
treatment was successful in removing the vegetation from the stream bed but will likely need
retreatment in the future to suppress revegetation until the riparian canopy develops. All other areas
were deemed non‐problematic by WEI staff.” This date has been included in Table 14.
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. phone 704‐332‐7754 fax 704‐332‐3306 1430 S. Mint Street, # 104 Charlotte, NC 28203
DMS’ comment: A hand repair is planned for a j‐hook structure on Bull Creek Reach 2 in MY5 to
address active erosion and minor piping. Please include an update in the MY5 report and include
before/after photos of the work.
Wildlands’ response: Noted.
DMS’ comment: Thanks for documenting all the conservation easement encroachment issues that
have occurred on site since construction. Recommend adding a column to the table for “Monitoring
Year”. It would be helpful to easily see what monitoring year each encroachment occurred. Also,
recommend revising the “MY4 Management Action” column to “Management Action” since many of
the action activities did not occur in MY4.
Wildlands’ response: Wildlands has added a “Monitoring Year” column and has revised the “MY4
Management Action” column to say “Management Action” in the Conservation Easement Encroachment
Issues Table that is included in Section 2.2 of the report.
DMS’ comment: Numerous encroachments are documented and have been resolved. Please continue
to be diligent in identifying new encroachments and working with the landowner to prevent future
problems. DMS is planning to conduct a Boundary Inspection this year and will notify WEI to
coordinate a site visit.
Wildlands’ response: Noted.
Digital Support File Comments:
DMS’ comment: No comment for draft digital deliverables. Please provide updated digital deliverables
with final submittal.
Wildlands’ response: The digital deliverables have been updated as needed and are included in the Final
MY4 Report digital submittal.

Monitoring Year 4 Annual Report ‐ FINAL ii
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. (Wildlands) implemented a full‐delivery stream mitigation project at the Key
Mill Mitigation Site (Site) for the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Division of
Mitigation Services (DMS). The project restored, enhanced, and preserved a total of 7,437 linear feet
(LF) of perennial and intermittent stream in Surry County, NC. The Site is located within the DMS
targeted watershed for the Yadkin River Basin Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03040101110040 and the NC
Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) Sub‐basin 03‐07‐03. The project is providing 6,107.300 cool
stream mitigation units (SMUs) for the Yadkin River Basin HUC 03040101 (Yadkin 01).
The Site has a long history of agricultural activity and most of the stressors to stream functions are
related to this historic and current land use practices. The major stream stressors for the Site were
concentrated agricultural runoff inputs, degraded instream habitat, active stream incision, lack of
stabilizing streamside vegetation, bank erosion and failure, and the lack of bedform diversity. The effects
of these stressors resulted in degraded water quality and habitat throughout the Site when compared to
reference conditions. The project approach for the Site focused on evaluating the Site’s existing
functional condition and evaluating its potential for recovery and need for intervention.
The project goals defined in the mitigation plan (Wildlands, 2019) were established with careful
consideration of 2009 Upper Yadkin Pee Dee River Basin Restoration Priorities (RBRP) goals and
objectives to address stressors identified in the watershed. The established project goals include:
Improve stream channel stability,
Stabilize eroding stream banks,
Exclude livestock from stream channels,
Reconnect channels with historic floodplains,
Improve instream habitat,
Reduce sediment and nutrient input from adjacent farm fields,
Restore and enhance native floodplain vegetation, and
Permanently protect the project site from degradational impacts.
Monitoring year (MY) 4 is a reduced monitoring year, so vegetation plot and cross‐section data were not
collected. However, visual Site assessments, documentation of management practices and easement
continuity, and hydrologic monitoring are conducted and included in this report. To preserve clarity and
continuity of the reporting structure, this report maintains section and appendix numbering from
previous monitoring reports. Omitted sections are denoted in the Table of Contents.
Assessments and site visits were completed between February and October 2023 to assess the condition
of the project. All sitewide measures that were implemented in late July of 2021 to address issues
identified during the MY1 IRT Credit Release Site Walk on July 13, 2021, are still functioning as expected.
Areas that were disturbed during the construction/implementation of these measures were replanted in
2022, and the results from a mobile vegetive plot, specifically requested by the IRT to be conducted in a
supplementally planted area in MY4, show that the replanted areas are becoming established and
trending towards success.
Overall, the Site has met the required stream, vegetation, and hydrology success criteria for MY4, and is
on track to meet MY5 and MY7 performance criteria. Herbaceous vegetation has become well
established throughout the Site, and the MY4 visual assessment only identified one stream area of
concern and no areas of low stem density or bare ground were identified. All monitored reaches
received at least one bankfull event in MY4, except for UT3C. The in‐stream flow gage located on UT2
recorded 283 days of consecutive baseflow in 2023 or 100% of the monitored period for MY4. Areas of
invasive species have been treated throughout the Site and will continue to be monitored and treated as

necessary. Encroachment issues have been resolved, and no other issues were observed during the Site
assessment field walk in November 2023. Wildlands will continue to monitor these areas throughout the
seven‐year monitoring period. If necessary, adaptive maintenance measures will be implemented to
benefit the ecological health of the Site.

Section 1: PROJECT OVERVIEW
1.1 Project Quantities and Credits
The Key Mill Mitigation Site (Site) is located in Surry County approximately 7.2 miles south of City of
Mount Airy, NC in the Yadkin River Basin HUC 03040101110040 and NCDWR Sub‐basin 03‐07‐03.
Located in the Smith River Allochthon of the Piedmont physiographic province (NCGS, 1985), the project
watershed is predominately forested land with some areas of agriculture including the Site.
The Site is located on one parcel, bisected by Key Road creating a western side and an eastern side
(herein referenced as the West side and the East side) to the project. Bull Creek is the primary stream,
which flows southeast through the center of the Site. There are five unnamed tributaries (UT1, UT2,
UT2A‐C, UT3, and UT3A‐C) that join Bull Creek within the Site limits. The West side of the project
contains the upstream portion of Bull Creek (Reaches 1A, 1B, and 2), as well as UT1A, UT1B, and UT1C.
UT1C joins Bull Creek Reach 2 near the bottom of the West Side of the Site and flows through a culvert
under Key Road into the eastern side of the Site. The East Side of the site contains the downstream
portion of Bull Creek (Reach 3 and 4), as well as UT2, UT2A‐C, UT3, UT3A‐C.
The final mitigation plan was submitted and accepted by DMS in October of 2018 and the IRT in January
of 2019. Construction activities were completed in April 2020 by Carolina Environmental Contracting,
Inc. Kee Mapping & Surveying, PLLC. completed the as‐built survey in June 2020. Planting was
completed following construction in April 2020 by Bruton Natural Systems, Inc. A conservation
easement (CE) has been recorded and is in place on 20.8 acres.
Please refer to Table 1 for the project’s stream credits and the credit summary table. Annual monitoring
will be conducted for seven years with close‐out anticipated to commence in 2027 given the success
criteria are met.

1.2 Project Goals and Objectives
The Site is providing numerous ecological benefits within the Yadkin Valley Basin. The project goals were
established with careful consideration to address stressors that were identified in the RBRP (EEP, 2009).
The project has improved stream functions through stream restoration and the conversion of
maintained agricultural fields into riparian buffer within the Yadkin Valley River Basin, while creating a
functional riparian corridor at the Site.
The following project specific goals and objectives outlined in the Mitigation Plan (Wildlands, 2019)
include:

1.3 Project Attributes
Prior to construction, the Site had been primarily used for agriculture. Lands upstream and downstream
of the Site are predominantly forested though there are some areas of agricultural lands and small
Key Mill Mitigation Site
Monitoring Year 4 Annual Report ‐ FINAL 1‐7
residential areas within the watershed. Agricultural activities within the Site had led to streams in
various stages of impairment. Most of the streams on the Site were impaired from limited to non‐
existent buffers, concentrated agricultural runoff inputs, degraded instream habitat, active stream
incision, bank erosion and failure, and the lack of bedform diversity. Pre‐construction conditions are
outlined in Table 3 below and in Table 9 of Appendix C in the MY3 Report.
The Site drains approximately 2.15 square miles of rural land, predominantly actively grazed pasture
with the downstream extent of the Site forested. Valleys throughout the West side have moderately
steep walls with alluvial bottoms, whereas valleys along the upstream extents of the project’s East side
tributaries are narrow with colluvial bottoms. Downstream of the Site, Bull Creek continues southeast to
join the Ararat River near the Cedar Hill community.

Monitoring Year 4 Annual Report ‐ FINAL 2‐1
Section 2: MONITORING YEAR 4 DATA ASSESSMENT
Annual monitoring for MY4 was conducted between February and October 2023 to assess the condition
of the project. The stream, vegetation, and hydrologic success criteria for the Site follows the approved
success criteria presented in the Key Mill Mitigation Plan (Wildlands, 2019). Monitoring features and
locations are shown in Figures 1 – 1c. Refer to Table 14 for the project’s activity and reporting history.
All areas that were successfully re‐planted in early 2022 have continued to do well throughout 2023.
Wildlands will continue assessing these areas throughout the seven‐year monitoring period for the
project.
2.1 Vegetation Assessment
Detailed vegetation inventory and analysis is not required during MY4. However, a visual assessment
was conducted and indicated that vegetation on the Site is performing well and will attain the interim
success criteria of 260 stems per acre, with an average height of 7‐ft, at the end of MY5.
In December 2022, Wildlands supplementally planted and added soil amendments to an area of low
stem density that was mapped along Bull Creek reach 1B. During the MY3 Credit Release Meeting, the
IRT requested that Wildlands add a plot (SPV1) in this area in MY4 to document the survivability of the
supplementally planted stems. Data from SPV1 was collected in September of 2023, and results show
that the area is performing well with an average stem density of 647 planted stems per acre and an
average height of 2.2 ft. Additionally, there were 9 species within the plot with no single species making
up more than 50% of the plot, and no invasive species were observed.
Please refer to Appendix F for the Supplemental Vegetation Plot recorded data, field sheet, and the plot
photo.
2.2 Vegetation Areas of Concern and Management Activity
Overall, herbaceous ground cover is well established and planted stems throughout the Site are thriving.
An effort was put in this year in May and then in November of 2023 to treat scattered patches of
invasives that were found along existing woody buffers throughout Lower Bull Creek, UT1A, UT1B and
Bull Creek Reach 1B, but had overall encompassed a small percentage of the total easement acreage.
Targeted invasive species treatments including mechanical removal and herbicide applications occurred
in May and November of 2023, effectively treating the following species: cattails (Typha latifolia) tree of
heaven (Ailanthus altissima), Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) and multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora). In
August of 2023, marsh dewflower (Murdannia keisak) was chemically treated in some of the riffles along
UT3C. The treatment was successful in removing the vegetation from the stream bed but will likely need
retreatment in the future to suppress revegetation until the riparian canopy develops. All other areas
were deemed non – problematic by WEI staff. Wildlands will continue to monitor for resprouts and treat
them as necessary. See the vegetation condition assessment in Table 5 of Appendix A.
Conservation Easement
As discussed in the MY3 report, multiple encroachments of cattle inside the easement fence have been
documented throughout the first three years of monitoring. At the DMS Credit Release Meeting for Key
Mill (MY3), the IRT requested detailed encroachment information and status updates in MY4 (2023)
report with resolutions proposed and implemented. A chronological list, including any encroachments
documented in MY4 (2023), their description, management action, and status are described below.

Key Mill Mitigation Site
Monitoring Year 4 Annual Report ‐ FINAL 2‐4
Due to the reoccurrence of cattle encroachments in 2022, after none were observed in 2021, a more
focused effort was implemented by Wildlands in 2023 to maintain and repair fencing as swiftly as
possible. Therefore, when cattle were observed again within the easement in March 2023, the
landowner was promptly contacted, and the cattle were swiftly removed with minimal damage to
planted stems. Wildlands repaired the fence and added horse tape to prevent further easement
violations. In addition, Wildlands identified the crossing between BCR2 and BCR3 as a potential cattle
access point to the easement. After repairs were conducted along this fence line, the issue of cattle
within the easement was resolved.
Since March of 2023, there have been multiple site visits by Wildlands Stewardship and Monitoring
Teams, and no additional cattle encroachments nor any evidence of cattle accessing the easement have
been observed. It appears that the fence is being operated and maintained properly. Wildlands will
continue to closely monitor the easement and fencing throughout the monitoring period and continue
to take a proactive approach to mitigate potential fencing issues before an encroachment is observed.
Wildlands walked the boundary in October of 2023 to ensure that the conservation easement boundary
was intact in regard to signage and fencing, as well as, free of encroachments. In early 2024, Wildlands
will plan to walk the boundary to reverify the survey boundary monuments. Even though there have
been multiple cattle encroachments at the Site, the vegetation continues to thrive and no areas inside
the easement have been severely impacted. Management activities and vegetation areas of concern are
depicted on the Current Condition Plan View (CCPV) figures.
2.3 Stream Assessment
MY4 is a reduced monitoring year and detailed geomorphologic cross‐section surveys are not required.
However, based on field observations during site assessments, site maintenance, and the
implementation of land stewardship activities, most project reaches within the Site continue to remain
stable and function as designed. Areas where current and/or former instability or stream functional
issues have been noted are discussed in Section 2.4, outlined in Tables 4a‐4l, and depicted in Figures 1 –
1c.
2.4 Stream Areas of Concern and Management Activity
The MY4 visual assessment revealed that the majority of the project reaches, bed and banks are stable
with only minor instances of scour and localized structure issues, neither of which compromise the
channel or structure integrity. However, on Bull Creek Reach 2, there is active erosion and minor piping
occurring behind a j‐hook structure at station 115+30 caused by continuous storm events. Wildlands will
conduct hand repairs in MY5 by re‐grading and re‐stabilizing the left bank. Repair activities will also
include re‐seeding, adding herbaceous plugs and live stake fascines to stabilize the banks and prevent
excess sediment from entering the stream. Wildlands will continue to monitor all areas of concern and
document repairs and management activities in the MY5 report. Refer to CCPV Figures 1 – 1c and
Appendix A for stream stability tables, AOC photographs.
As discussed in the MY3 report, repairs were implemented in April of 2023 on the downstream extent of
Bull Creek Reach 3 at station 164+00 to address displaced and piping lunker logs. Wildlands reset one
structure by keying it back into the bed and bank and added stabilizing rock material to both banks for
bank revetment and structure stability. For the second structure, since the log was not acting as a grade
control measure, Wildlands notched a sizable portion in the center of the log to allow water to pass
freely over the log to prevent any further piping beneath and erosion around the structure. Additionally,
two areas of localized aggradation (Bull Creek Reach 1A and UT3C), have remained consistent in scale
over the past few years and no longer pose a threat to channel stability; therefore, they have been
removed as an AOC from the CCPV maps and from Table 4. Wildlands will continue to monitor these
Key Mill Mitigation Site
Monitoring Year 4 Annual Report ‐ FINAL 2‐5
structures and stream areas to ensure that they are performing as intended. Refer to Appendix A for
Repair Photographs and Table 4 Visual Stream Morphology Stability Assessment Table.
2.5 Stream Hydrology Assessment
Five automated pressure transducers were installed in MY0 to document stream hydrology throughout
the seven‐year monitoring period. At the end of the seven‐year monitoring period, four or more bankfull
flow events must have occurred in separate years on each of the restoration reaches and intermittent
channels have maintained 30 consecutive days of baseflow in each monitoring year. Pressure
transducers are programmed to record data every 2 hours and have captured many high flow events
since monitoring commenced in MY1. Each gage was checked for accuracy at the beginning of MY4.
Generally, average rainfall in MY4 fell within the normal range when compared to the 30‐year normal
between 1993 and 2023 (NRCS, 2023; USGS 2023). Automated crest gages (CG), as well as manual crest
gage 1, recorded at least one bankfull event on each of the restoration reaches, except UT3C, in MY4.
Though UT3C did not record a bankfull event in MY4, it came close in June, and had previously recorded
at least one bankfull event in each of the past three years. Additionally, UT2, which is monitored to
confirm the continuation of intermittent baseflow conditions on the restored channel, recorded 283
days of consecutive flow, exceeding the 30‐day consecutive flow requirement. Please refer to Figures 1 –
1c for gage locations and Appendix D for hydrology summary data and gage plots.
2.6 MY4 Summary
Overall, the Site has met the required stream, hydrology, and vegetation success criteria for MY4.
Herbaceous ground cover is well established throughout the Site. At least one bankfull event was
documented on each of the monitored reaches in MY4 except for reach UT3C, and UT2’s baseflow
exceeded the 30‐day requirement for intermittent streams, with a total of 283 days of consecutive flow.
The MY4 visual assessment identified one small area of concern on Bull Creek Reach 2, which is slotted
to be repaired in MY5. A log roller riffle on Bull Creek Reach 3 that was documented in MY3 was
repaired and is functioning as intended. No ongoing areas of encroachment were noted during the MY4
site walk. The invasive species populations noted in MY3 were treated in May and November 2023 of
MY4, leaving the site with a good outlook on invasive control going into MY5. Supplemental planting
areas are doing well and are trending towards success. Wildlands will continue to monitor the Site, and
adaptive maintenance measures will be implemented as necessary throughout the seven‐year
monitoring period to benefit the ecological health and geomorphic stability of the Site.

Section 3: METHODOLOGY
Geomorphic data was 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 ArcGIS. Crest gages, stream
gages, and groundwater gages are monitored quarterly. Monitoring instrument installation and
methods are in accordance with the 2016 NC IRT Stream and Wetland Compensatory Mitigation Update
and NC DMS Annual Monitoring and Closeout Template (2015). Vegetation monitoring protocols
followed the Carolina Vegetation Survey‐EEP Level 2 Protocol (Lee et al., 2008).

1Bankfull elevation for riffles are based on the MY0 cross‐sectional area. MY1‐MY7 Bank Height Ratio is calculated based on the As‐built (MY0) cross‐sectional area as described in the Standard Measurement
of the BHR Monitoring Parameter document provided by the NCIRT and NCDMS (9/2018). The remainder of the cross‐section dimension parameters were calculated based on the current low bank height.
2Floodprone width is calculated from the width of cross‐section but valley width may extend further.
3ER for the baseline/monitoring parameters is based on the width of the cross‐section, in lieu of assuming the width across the floodplain.
4Repairs conducted during MY1 resulted in a slight shift in the cross‐section alignment between the MY0 and MY1 cross‐section pin locations; therefore the plot was adjusted so that cross‐sections lined up for easier comparison.
