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). 1 Second Bankfull Monitoring Report New Garden Road Widening Phase II Project No. P-3741 Legend 2,000 1,000 0 2,000 Feet Project Outer Boundary REFERENCE USGS 7.5 TOPOGRAPHIC MAP SERIES, GREENSBORO NC QUADRANGLE, DATED 1994 I Carolina Wetland Services, Inc.

Other than ongoing monitoring and observation there are no recommendations to perform any remediation at this time. 4 Second Bankfull Monitoring Report: Photo Documentation — Photopage 1 New Garden Road Widening Phase II Project No. P-3741 Appendix A Photopage 1 — Second Bankfull Monitoring Photographs AI it �'" •\ row Jp� A -1 tze Iy�v two.
