STREAM MITIGATION PLAN
CAROLINA GOLF CLUB
MECKLENBURG COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This document summarizes stream mitigation activities to be performed at the Carolina Golf
Club, located in downtown Charlotte, North Carolina (Figure 1). The project will provide
compensatory mitigation for stream impacts associated with construction of an impoundment,
primarily for irrigation and course habitat purposes, within this heavily urbanized landscape.
This concept plan is intended to facilitate issuance of a US Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE)
individual permit for the golf course improvements. The plan provides a description of stream
restoration, enhancement, and preservation activities along with a vegetation planting plan,
monitoring plan, success criteria, and final disposition /management of the conservation areas.
Detailed stream design and technical specifications will be finalized after further reference
stream studies and golf course renovation activities.
The mitigation includes approximately 2091 feet of stream restoration and enhancement and
approximately 1000 feet of stream preservation as depicted in Figure 2. In addition,
approximately 5.30 acres of riparian buffers will be established along the stream mitigation
corridors. The mitigation is contained on-site within the golf course and encompasses areas
surrounding the proposed impoundment. The streams have been identified as Reach 1, 2, 3, 6,
7, and 8 and range from former streams currently buried within pipes and culverts to impounded
sections that do not support viable riparian buffers or stream-side communities (Figure 3).
Land manipulations such as clearing of riparian vegetation, relocation, dredging, straightening,
and culverting of the streams has resulted in habitat loss, water quality concerns, and unstable
stream and riparian characteristics.
In this urbanized landscape, the primary objectives of this mitigation effort include the following:
1. Elevate and re-connect these stream channels and overbank flows to active
floodplains within the conservation areas.
2. Encourage wetland habitat and vegetation roughness within the stream channels
and on the restored floodplains to provide detention and to attenuate storm runoff
into downstream waters.
3. Establish in-stream and floodplain habitat for urban wetland species, including those
that assist in controlling mosquito populations (ex: tadpoles, toads, anoles, small
mammals, purple martin, waterfowl, etc.).
4. Restore and manage the conservation buffers for dense, herb, shrub and understory
dominated wetland species (for maximum vegetation roughness and golf course line-
of-sight requirements).
5. Prevent broadcast fertilizer, pesticides, or other chemicals from entering the
conservation buffers, the stream, and downstream waters.
6. Reestablish stream stability and the capacity to transport watershed flows and
attenuate sediment loads by restoring stable dimension, pattern, and profile
supported by natural in-stream habitat.
7. Improve aquatic habitat by removing culverts and enhancing stream bed variability
through the use of in-stream structures.
8. Provide wetland and wildlife habitat within buffers previously developed for urban
land uses.
9. Protect the streams and buffers in perpetuity with restrictive covenants.

2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION
Physioaraphy, Watershed, and Land Use
The Site is located within the Charlotte and Milton Belts geologic formation within the Southern
Piedmont ecoregion of North Carolina. This hydrophysiographic region is underlain by the
metamorphosed granitic rocks characterized by moderately dissected, irregular plains with low
to moderate gradient streams (Griffith 2002). This region is characterized by moderately high
rainfall with precipitation averaging approximately 43 inches per year. This hydrophysiographic
region extends over a broad portion of the central North Carolina Piedmont from Greensboro to
the east and west to the base of the Blue Ridge Province. Reference stream attributes, used to
guide the stream mitigation design, will be further developed within the targeted
hydrophysiographic region for this project.
Approximate watershed areas are depicted in Figure 2 and range from 0.18 to 0.51 square
miles in size. Excluding the golf course area, the watersheds are heavily urban in character.
Impervious surfaces are expected to account for more than 50% of the land surface area.
Based on topographic mapping developed for this project (Figure 3), valley slopes range from
0.036 (3.6%) along the upstream periphery of Reach 1 to 0.009 (0.9%) within downstream limits
of the project. Stream channels are dominated by sand, silt, and small gravel beds in upper
watershed reaches to coarse sand, larger gravel, and small cobble dominated beds in larger
streams in the area.
Figure 4 and Figure 5 depict the approximate stream alignments and the proposed riparian
buffers. The 6 project reaches encompass 3091 linear feet of stream channel and 5.3 acres of
buffer restoration and management land. Detailed design parameters will be developed after
additional reference studies and golf course renovation activities Are completed.
Reference Studies and Functional Evaluations
A fundamental concept of stream mitigation involves the study of reference (relatively
undisturbed) streams and vegetation within the ecoregion as part of detailed planning.
Subsequently, measurement and analyses of existing and proposed conditions can be
performed. This method for stream mitigation ensures that the preferred ecosystem processes
and functions can be restored. This method ensures that form or shape of the stream channel
is not the most important design consideration for this project. Therefore, final design
parameters, based upon preferred riparian ecosystem functions, will be established in the Fall of
2007 once reference studies have been completed and golf course renovation activities are
underway.
Regional reference curves will be utilized to predict bankfull stream geometry, discharge, and
other parameters in the altered systems. Development of regional reference curves for North
Carolina was initiated in 1995. The curves characterize a broad range of streams within the
Piedmont physiographic province. Small watersheds or deviations in valley slope, land use, or
geologic substrates may not be accurately described by the curves; therefore, verification of
individual watersheds may be necessary. Off-site reference reaches will be utilized in
conjunction with regional curves for detailed planning and characterization of this mitigation
project. To the extent that channel form or shape is important in these projects, these regional
curves provide a reliable stream restoration tool in the Piedmont of North Carolina.

3.0 STREAM CHANNEL AND FLOODPLAIN RESTORATION
Stream Restoration on New Location
Stream restoration will be performed along Reaches 2, 3, and 6 as depicted in Figure 4. The
work is expected to entail 1) culvert removal, 2) belt-width preparation, 3) channel excavation, 4)
spoil stockpiling, 5) channel stabilization, 6) channel diversion, and 7) ditch backfill.
Belt-width corridor preparation will entail culvert removal, channel staking, floodplain clearing
and grubbing, and any necessary grading prior to channel excavation. After the floodplain has
been prepped, the proposed design channel will be staked and/or clearly marked to the design
parameters. Spoil material excavated during floodplain grading will be stockpiled adjacent to
the existing channels to be abandoned and backfilled after construction of the new channel is
complete.
Once belt-width corridor preparation is complete, the proposed channel will be excavated to the
average width, depth, and cross-sectional area derived from reference reach studies and
detailed measurements of the onsite reach. Stream banks and the belt-width area of
constructed channels will be immediately planted with shrub and herbaceous vegetation. Root
mats may also be selectively removed from adjacent areas and placed as erosion control
features on channel banks.
Once the proposed design channel has been excavated and stabilized, abandoned channels
will be backfilled utilizing spoil material stockpiled from floodplain grading and channel
excavation.
In-stream Structures
The use of in-stream structures for grade control and habitat are essential for successful stream
restoration. In-stream structures may be placed in the channel to elevate local water surface
profiles in the channel, potentially flattening the water energy slope or gradient. The structures
would likely consist of boulder-size rock vanes, j-hook vanes, and/or step-pool devices designed
primarily to direct stream energy into the center of the channel and away from banks. In
addition, the structures would be placed in relatively straight reaches to provide secondary
(perpendicular) flow cells during bankfull events.
Stream Restoration In-Place
As depicted in Figure 5, stream restoration on Reach 6, and Reach 7 will be performed along
the existing channels, including: 1) cessation of current land management practices adjacent to
the streams; 2) excavation of active floodplain benches adjacent to sections of the incised
channels; 3) installation of in-stream and bank structures to promote bed variability and aquatic
habitat; and 4) planting with native floodplain vegetation. Planting with native vegetation is
discussed in detail in Section 4.0 of this document.
Stream Preservation and Management
Preservation is being proposed on approximately 1000 linear feet of stream labeled as Reach 8
in Figure 5. Based on preliminary analysis and field investigations, this reach maintains a
relatively intact, forested riparian buffer and stable stream bed form. Long term management
will include periodic inspection and removal of garbage or contaminants from streams. These
areas will also be supplemental planted with native hardwood species characteristic of a
Piedmont/Mountain Bottomland Hardwood Forest, as described in Classification of the Natural
Communities of North Carolina (Schafale and Weakley 1990). These areas will be protected in
Carolina Golf Club Stream Mitigation Plan Page 5 of 8

perpetuity through the establishment of restrictive covenants encompassing the riparian
corridor.
4.0 VEGETATION. COMMUNITY RESTORATION
Deep-rooted, riparian vegetation will be established within 5.3 acres of restored floodplain and
riparian buffer. Planting vegetation on cleared stream banks is proposed to reestablish
vegetation community patterns within the stream corridor, associated side slopes, and transition
areas. Revegetating the floodplain and stream banks will provide stream bank stability, shade
and cool surface waters, filter pollutants from adjacent runoff, and provide habitat for area
wildlife. The vegetated stream buffer will extend to a minimum of 30 feet on both sides of the
stream. Scarification of floodplain surfaces may be required prior to planting.
Variations in vegetative planting may occur based on topographic locations, line of sight
requirements for the golf course fairways, and hydraulic conditions of the soil. Vegetative
species composition should mimic reference forest data and onsite observations. Based on
reference communities in the region, species expected for this project may include the following
elements.
Piedmont Bottomland Forest
1) Mockernut Hickory (Carya tomentosa)
2) Pignut Hickory (Carya g/abra)
3) American Beech (Fagus grandifolia)
4) White Oak (Quercus a/ba)
5) Northern Red Oak (Quercus rubra)
6) Green Ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica)
7) Red Maple (Acer rubrum)
8) River Birch (Betu/a nigra)
9) American Sycamore (P/afanus occidentalis)
10) Willow Oak (Quercus phe/los)
11) Water Oak (Quercus nigra)
12) American Elm (Ulmus americans)
13) Shagbark Hickory (Carya ousts)
14) Black Gum (Nyssa sy/vatica)
15) Black Walnut (Juglans nigra)
16) Yellow Poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera)
Stream-Side Shrub Assemblage and Line-Of-Sight Corridors
1) Black Willow (Salix nigra)
2) Hackberry (Celtis laevigata)
3) Box Elder (Acer negundo)
4) Ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana)
5) Swamp Dogwood (Corpus amomum)
6) Tag Alder (Alnus serru/ata)
7) Buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis)
8) Elderberry (Sambucus canadensis)
9) Arrow-wood Viburnum (Viburnum dentatum)
10) Possumhaw Viburnum (Viburnum nudum)
11) Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum)

12) Sourwood (Oxydendrum arboreum)
13) American Holly (Ilex opaca)
14) Flowering Dogwood (Corpus florida)
15) Downy Serviceberry (Amelanchier arborea)
Species distribution and densities are expected to be determined during development of the
detailed specifications for channel and floodplain restoration work.
Nuisance Species Management
Prior fo the revegetation phase of the project, nonnative floral species will be removed. Exotic
species currently identified within the project area include multiflora rose and Chinese privet.
These species are fast growing and tend to overwhelm and out-compete the plant communities
proposed for stabilization of the new stream channel. These species will be controlled as
needed within the riparian buffers by cutting and grubbing in addition to chemical herbicide
treatment approved for wetland applications.
Beavers and other potential. nuisance species will be monitored over the course of the 5-year
monitoring period. Appropriate actions will be taken to ameliorate any negative impacts
regarding vegetation development and/or water management on an as-needed basis.
5.0 MONITORING PLAN
Monitoring of Site restoration efforts will be performed for five years or until agreed upon
success criteria are fulfilled. Monitoring is proposed for the stream channel and vegetation
communities.
Stream Monitoring
Annual fall monitoring will include development of channel cross-sections on riffles and pools,
pebble counts, and a water surface profile of the channel. The data will be presented in graphic
and tabular format. Data to be presented will include 1)cross-sectional area, 2) bankfull width,
3) average depth, 4) maximum depth, 5) width-to-depth ratio, 6) meander wavelength, 7) belt-
width, 8) water surface slope, 9) sinuosity, and 10) stream substrate composition. A
photographic record of preconstruction and postconstruction conditions will also be compiled.
Stream Success Criteria
Success criteria for stream restoration will include 1) successful classification of the reach as a
functioning stream system (Rosgen 1996a) and 2) channel variables indicative of a stable
stream system.
Visual assessment of in-stream structures will be conducted to determine if failure has occurred.
Failure of a structure may be indicated by collapse of the structure, undermining of the structure,
abandonment of the channel around the structure, and/or stream flow beneath the structure.
Veaetation Monitoring
After. planting has been completed in winter or early spring, an initial evaluation will be
performed to verify planting methods and to determine initial species composition and density.
Supplemental planting and additional Site modifications will be implemented, if necessary.
During quantitative vegetation sampling in early fall of the first year, sample plots will be
randomly placed within the Site. In each sample plot, vegetation parameters to be monitored
include species composition and species density. Visual observations of the percent cover of
shrub and herbaceous species will also be recorded.
Carolina Golf Club Stream Mitigation Plan Page 7 of 8

Vegetation Success Criteria
An average density of 320 stems per acre of Character Tree Species must be surviving in the
first three monitoring years. Subsequently, 290 Character Tree Species per acre must be
surviving in year 4 and 260 Character Tree Species per acre in year 5.
Contingency
Stream
In the event that stream success criteria are not fulfilled, a mechanism for contingency will be
implemented. Stream contingency may include, but may not be limited to 1) structure repair
and/or installation; 2) repair of dimension, pattern, and/or profile variables; and 3) bank
stabilization. The method of contingency will be dependent upon stream variables that are not
in compliance with success criteria. Primary concerns, which may jeopardize stream success,
include 1) structure failure, 2) headcut migration through the Site, and/or 3) bank erosion.
Vegetation Contingency
If vegetation success criteria are not achieved based on average density calculations from
combined plots over the entire restoration area, supplemental planting will be performed with
native tree species approved by regulatory agencies. Supplemental planting will be performed
as needed until achievement of vegetation success criteria.
6.0 FINAL DISPENSATION
After restoration is completed, Carolina Golf Club will maintain ownership of the stream
corridors. In addition, restrictive covenants will be placed over the land area to protect the
conservation areas. Carolina Golf Club will remain responsible for project implementation,
achievement of success criteria, and long term management of the property.
