Second Bankfull Monitoring Report
New Garden Road Widening Phase II Project No. P-3741
Introduction
The New Garden Road Widening Phase II Project is located in Greensboro, North Carolina as
shown on the Site Location Map (Figure 1) on the next page. Construction of this project
necessitated the relocation of portions of two tributaries to Horsepen Creek, Main Tributary #2
(South) and Tributary A (North). The relocation of these stream reaches was completed in
March 2011. The stream relocations were permitted through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(Action I.D. SAW 2007-03980) and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (DWQ Project #06-0684) and required a Level 1 Stream Restoration Mitigation and
Monitoring Plan for this project. This level of monitoring includes the establishment of photo
reference sites, plant survival monitoring, channel stability monitoring, and two bankfull
monitoring events.
The following visual inspection during the second bankfull monitoring event was conducted to
evaluate and document the conditions of the relocated stream channels during a bankfull event
after the completion of construction.
Methods
Photo Reference Sites
Photographs were taken during:
1) Second Bankfull Event on November 2, 2015
In stream structures including rock vanes, root wads, and grade control sills were photographed.
Stream banks were also photographed for visual comparison.
Results
Photo Reference Sites
All areas of the project were photo documented. In stream structures including rock vanes, root
wads, and grade control sills were photographed. Stream banks were also photographed for
visual comparison. Representative photographs are included in Photopage 1 (Appendix A). The
locations and directions of each of these photographs are shown in Figure 2 (Page 3).

Second Bankfull Monitoring Report
New Garden Road Widening Phase II Project No. P-3741
Summary
Comments
The channels (Main Tributary #2 and Tributary A) relocated as part of the New Garden Road
Widening Phase II Project appear to be geomorphically and hydraulically stable during the
observed bankfull event. Other than ongoing monitoring and observation there are no
recommendations to perform any remediation at this time.
