1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Tate Farm (Ripshin Branch) Stream and Wetland Restoration Site (hereafter referred to as the
Site) is situated within US Geological Survey (USGS) hydrologic unit 05050001 of the Upper
New River Basin and is in a portion of NC Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) Priority Sub -
basin 05-07-02. The project is located in the northwest corner of Ashe County, about 1 mile south
of the Virginia state line and 3 miles east of the Tennessee state line (Figure 1, Appendix A). The
Site is encompassed within a 61.92 -acre easement located in a tract owned by Michael and Virginia
Tate. The Site includes an unnamed tributary to Ripshin Branch (UT), Ripshin Branch proper,
associated floodplain wetlands, and additional tributaries found on the property (Figure 2,
Appendix B). This report (compiled based on DMS's Procedural Guidance and Content
Requirements for EEP Monitoring Reports, Version 1.4, dated 11/7/11) summarizes data for Year
4 (2015) monitoring.
The project goals are as follows.
• Improve stream water quality and ecological function by excluding livestock, restoring pool and
riffle sequences, and restoring tree canopy and instream large woody debris.
• Enhance aquatic and terrestrial habitat in the stream corridor and adjacent wetlands.
• Enhance and/or restore the ecological function of riparian wetlands.
• Restore the riparian corridor (forested buffer) for watershed and wildlife benefits.
• Enhance habitat for native brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) and improve fishery potential.
• Increase biodiversity of the stream ecology, riparian buffers, and wetlands.
These goals will be accomplished through the implementation of the following objectives.
• Improve channel geomorphology toward reference conditions by providing watershed scaled and
Rosgen-typed channel dimension, adding floodplain benches where floodplain access is not
feasible, restoring sinuous pattern to straightened reaches where possible, and adjusting profile as
needed to restore or maintain sediment transport equilibrium.
• Restore stream -side floodprone area where appropriate (increase floodwater access to the
floodplain).
• Reduce sediment and nutrient loading by reshaping and stabilizing banks, reducing bank scour,
excluding livestock, and restoring riparian buffers.
• Enhance or restore wetland hydrology and vegetation in former pastures and filled wetlands.
After construction, five vegetation plots were established and sampled. During Year 2 (2013)
monitoring, thirteen additional vegetation plots were established and sampled. Vegetation Success
Criteria (from the approved Ripshin Branch Stream & Wetland Restoration Plan [NCDMS 2007])
include the following.
• Survival of planted vegetation should exceed 80 percent after 5 years following planting (minimum
260 stems/acre).
• Planted vegetation stabilizing at 20 years with distinct canopy, subcanopy, and shrub layers.
• Establishment of herbaceous cover over 75 percent of the soil surface in restored wetlands and
riparian areas.
• Plant biodiversity dominated by native species, with minimal ecological impact from invasive
species.

DMS Project Number 372 December 2015
Ashe County, North Carolina page 1
Overall, vegetation was below success criteria with an average of 272 planted stems/acre
(excluding livestakes) across the Site. In addition, six of the eighteen vegetation monitoring plots
met, or exceeded success criteria. Plots 1-5 and 14 are located along the Ripshin Branch and
unnamed tributary stream and wetland restoration areas. The vegetation within these areas is
meeting success criteria with an average of 452 planted stems/acre. Additionally, four of the six
plots in this area met or exceeded success criteria. Potential causes of the low stem counts at Plots
2 and 4 include excessive hydrology associated with wetland restoration and over competition by
sedges and soft rush (Carex spp. and Juncus effusus, respectively). Plots 6-13 and 15-18 are
located in the Enhancement (level II) areas throughout the remainder of the Site. Average stem
density throughout this area is 182 stems/acre. Additionally, only two of the twelve plots in these
areas met or exceeded success criteria. Low stem density in these areas can be attributed to poor
planted stem survival due to harsh, high elevation climate and poor soils. Supplemental planting
throughout the Site Enhancement (level II) reaches is recommended for the winter of 2015/2016.
In addition to low stem densities, one vegetation area of concern was noted at the beginning of
2013. An overbank event scoured the floodplain and deposited gravel and silt along both banks at
the downstream end of Ripshin Branch near Vegetation Plot 5, and a number of planted stems
were buried by debris and sediment. This area appears to have stabilized, with woody stems and
herbaceous vegetation reestablishing. However, this area continues to scour during high stream
flows and is characterized by poorly developed rocky soils.
A visual assessment and geomorphic survey were completed for the Site. The visual assessment
indicated that project reaches were performing within established success criteria ranges as shown
below. During a 2013 heavy, summer rain event, a boulder was dislodged in a right bank structure
in the lower portion of Ripshin Branch. The boulder has since been stabilized by dense herbaceous
vegetation and is no longer dislodged. The structure will continue to be monitored closely but is
not expected to dislodge again during normal rain conditions.
During Monitoring Years 2 and 3 (2013-2014),
stream was mapped onsite using sub -meter GPS.

The locations of additional streams are depicted
Stream Success Criteria (from the approved Ripshin Branch Stream & Wetland Restoration Plan
[NCDMS 2007]) is as follows.
• Channel morphology retains the design stream type over the majority of the reach.
• Coarsening of riffle bed material in newly constructed reaches.
• Pool/riffle spacing should remain fairly constant.
• Maintenance of bankfull width at riffles within 10 percent of the design.
• Maintenance of bank height ratios at 1:1.
• Bank stability over 90 percent of altered channel reaches.
• Dimension and profile stability over 90 percent of altered channel reaches.
• No significant channel aggradation or degradation.
• Minimal development of instream bars.
• Biological populations (invertebrate and fish) remain constant or increase and species composition
indicates a positive trend.

Success criteria for stream restoration will be based on stream stability assessed using
measurements of stream dimension, pattern, and profile; Site photographs; visual assessments; and
vegetation sampling. Streams appear to be functioning properly, emulate design conditions, and
are trending towards success.
Wetland hydrology success criteria (from the approved Ripshin Branch Stream & Wetland
Restoration Plan [NCDMS 2007]) is as follows.
• Hydrologic monitoring indicates groundwater within 12 inches of the ground surface for 10 percent
of the growing season
• Increasing wetland vegetation
• Development of hydric soils
• Fulfill US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) criteria for jurisdictional wetlands
Six groundwater gauges were installed at the Site in mid-October 2012; therefore, no groundwater
gauge data is available for year 1 (2012) monitoring. All six groundwater gauges were
saturated/inundated for well over 10 percent of the year 4 (2015) growing season.
Summary information/data related to the occurrence of items such as beaver or encroachment and
statistics related to performance of various project and monitoring elements can be found in tables
and figures within this report's appendices. Narrative background and supporting information
formerly found in these reports can be found in the Baseline Monitoring Report (formerly
Mitigation Plan) and in the Mitigation Plan (formerly the Restoration Plan) documents available
on the NC Division of Mitigation Services' (NCDMS) website. All raw data supporting the tables
and figures in the appendices are available from NCDMS upon request.
2.0 METHODOLOGY
2.1 Vegetation Assessment
Five vegetation plots were established and marked during the Year 1 (2012) monitoring period,
and 13 additional plots were established and marked during the Year 2 (2013) monitoring period,
yielding a total of 18 vegetation plots on the site. Plots were established by installing 4 -foot, metal
U -bar post at the corners and a 10 -foot, 0.75 inch PVC at the origin. The plots are 10 meters square
or 20 meters by 5 meters and are located randomly within the Site. These plots were surveyed in
July 2015 for the Year 4 (2015) monitoring season CVS-EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation,
Levels 1-2 Plot Sampling Only Version 4.2 (Lee et al. 2008) (http://cvs.bio.unc.edu/methods.htm);
results are included in Appendix C. The taxonomic standard for vegetation used for this document
was Flora of the Southern and Mid -Atlantic States (Weakley 2012).
2.2 Stream Assessment
Annual stream monitoring was conducted in April 2015. Measurements were taken using a
Topcon GTS 303 total station and Recon data collector. The raw total station file was processed
using Carlson Survey Software into a Computer Aided Design (CAD) file. Coordinates were
exported as a text/ASCII file to Microsoft Excel for processing and presentation of data. Pebble
counts were completed using the modified Wolman method (Rosgen 1993).

Eight permanent cross-sections, six riffle and two pool, were established and will be used to
evaluate stream dimension; locations are depicted on Figures 2A and 2B (Appendix B). Cross-
sections are permanently monumented with 4 -foot metal U -bar posts at each end point. Cross-
sections will be surveyed to provide a detailed measurement of the stream and banks, including
points on the adjacent floodplain, top of bank, bankfull, breaks in slope, edge of water, and
thalweg. Data will be used to calculate width -depth ratios, entrenchment ratios, and bank height
ratios for each cross-section. In addition, pebble counts were completed at cross-sections 4 and 8,
and photographs will be taken at each permanent cross-section annually.
Two monitoring reaches were established (Unnamed Tributary and Ripshin Branch) and will be
used to evaluate stream pattern and longitudinal profile; locations are depicted on Figures 2A and
2B (Appendix B). Longitudinal profile measurements include average water surface slopes, facet
slopes, and pool -to -pool spacing. Seventeen permanent photo points were established throughout
the restoration reach; locations are depicted on Figures 2A and 2B (Appendix B). In addition,
visual stream morphology and stability assessments were completed in each of the two monitoring
reaches to assess the channel bed, banks, and in -stream structures.

* Groundwater Gauges were installed in October 2012; therefore, groundwater monitoring was initiated during the
Year 2 (2013) monitoring year.
**Gauge 4 malfunctioned at beginning of 2014 growing season resulting in loss of data. A battery failure at the
beginning of the growing season resulted in a loss of data. The gauge was replaced and is currently functioning
properly, but during a subsequent visit additional data was lost due to a failed Meazura PDA. Based on hydrology of
the additional gauges, in addition to abundant precipitation, it is likely that Gauge 4 would have met success for year
3(2014).
