1 Project Summary
1.1 Project Location and Description
The Starker Mitigation Project (“Project”) is a private commercial umbrella mitigation bank under the WLS
Catawba 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank (“Bank”). The site directly abuts Interstate 40 (I-40) between mile
markers 133 and 135 in Conover within Catawba County, NC (35.727984, -81.176076). The Project is
located within the Upper Catawba 8-digit HUC 03050101, in the Upper Lake Norman 10-digit HUC
0305010111, in the Lyle Creek Watershed 12-digit HUC 030501011102, all within the Catawba River Basin.
The purpose of the Project is to provide stream mitigation credits to compensate for unavoidable impacts
to Waters of the U.S. authorized under sections 401 and 404 of the Clean Water Act, Section 10 of the
Rivers and Harbors Act, and all applicable state statutes. The Project is providing 9,656 warm thermal
regime stream mitigation credits and 29.91 acres of easement that will be protected in perpetuity. See
the mitigation plan for a detailed benefits summary and Table 1 for a summary of project assets. Figures
1a, 1b, and 1c illustrate the project mitigation components.
Monitoring Year 2 (MY2) activities occurred during May and October 2024. This report presents the data
for MY2. The Project meets the MY2 success criteria for stream horizontal and vertical stability, and
vegetation. One of the three flow gauges did not meet the minimum consecutive flow criteria. WLS would
like to request that reach S103 be removed from the credit ledger. Based on these results, the Project is
on trajectory to meet interim and final success criteria. For more information on the chronology of the
project history and activity, refer to Appendix A, Table 2. Relevant project contact information is also
presented in the appendices in Table 2, and project background information is presented in Appendix A,
Table 3.
1.2 Monitoring Schedule and Reporting
The Project will be monitored on a regular basis with physical inspections to occur a minimum of twice
per year throughout the seven-year post-construction monitoring period, or until performance standards
are met. The measure of stream restoration success will be documented by bankfull flows and no change
in stream channel classification. The measure of vegetative success for the Project will be the survival of
at least 210 seven-year-old planted trees per acre with an average height of 10 feet at the end of year
seven of the monitoring period. Site inspections and monitoring reports will also identify components and
features that require routine maintenance or adaptive management. The easement holder and long-term
steward is Unique Places to Save (UP2S). UP2S will be responsible for annual inspection of the Project
after close-out to ensure that restrictions in place required by the recorded Conservation Easement Deed
are being upheld.
1.3 Project Goals and Objectives
The Project will meet the goals and objectives described in the approved Final Mitigation Plan and will
address general restoration goals and opportunities outlined in the North Carolina Division of Mitigation
Services (DMS) Catawba River Basin Restoration Priorities (RBRP; NCEEP, 2007, amended 2013) and in the
Catawba River Basin wide Water Quality Plan (NCDWQ, 2010). Watershed goals and management
strategies will be met by:
 Restoring aquatic habitats that are currently degraded by cattle access and bank erosion.
2

 Improving water quality by excluding cattle.
 Restoring riparian buffers.
 Stabilizing streams that are part of a WS-IV watershed.
 Serving to continue existing water quality initiatives that are on-going in the watershed.
To accomplish these project-specific goals, the following objectives will be measured to document overall
project success:
 Provide a floodplain connection to the incised Project stream reaches by lowering bank height
ratios (BHRs) to less than 1.2, thereby promoting more natural floodplain storage and overbank
flood flows,
 Improve bedform diversity by increasing scour pool spacing and depth variability,
 Increase native species riparian buffer and native vegetation density/composition along
streambank and riparian areas,
 Improve aquatic habitat and fish species diversity and migration through the addition of in-stream
cover and native woody debris,
 Site protection through a 29.91-acre conservation easement with minimum 50-foot riparian
buffers from the top of banks along all streams in perpetuity.
1.4 Project Success Criteria
The success criteria for the Project will follow approved performance standards and monitoring protocols
from the final approved mitigation plan, which was developed in compliance with the USACE October
2016 Guidance, USACE Stream Mitigation Guidelines (April 2003 and October 2005), and the 2008
Compensatory Mitigation Final Rule. Cross-section and vegetation plot data will be collected in Years 0, 1,
2, 3, 5, and 7. Stream hydrology data and visual monitoring will be reported annually. Specific success
criteria components and evaluation methods are described below.
1.4.1 Single-Thread Streams
Stream Hydrology: Four separate bankfull or over bank events must be documented within the seven-year
monitoring period, and the stream hydrology monitoring will continue until four bankfull events have been
documented in separate years. Stream hydrology monitoring will be accomplished with pressure
transducers installed in pools and correlating sensor depth to top of bank elevation (see Appendix E for
installation diagrams). Recorded water depth above the top of bank elevation will document a bankfull
event. The devices will record water depth every 30 minutes and will be inspected quarterly. In addition to
the pressure transducers, visual indicators such as wrack lines and vegetation matting will be used to
document bankfull events.
Stream Profiles, Vertical Stability, and Floodplain Access: Stream profiles, as a measure of vertical stability
and floodplain access, will be evaluated by looking at Bank Height Ratios (BHR). In addition, observed
bedforms should be consistent with those observed for channels of the design stream type(s). The BHR
shall not exceed 1.2 along the restored Project stream reaches. This standard only applies to restored
reaches of the channel where BHRs were corrected through design and construction. Vertical stability will
be evaluated with visual assessment, cross-sections and, if directed by the IRT, longitudinal profile.
3

Stream Horizontal Stability: Cross-sections will be used to evaluate horizontal stream stability. There
should be minor change expected in as-built restoration cross-sections. If measurable changes do occur,
they should be evaluated to determine if the changes represent a movement toward a more unstable
condition (e.g., downcutting, erosion) or a movement towards increased stability (e.g., settling, vegetation
establishment, deposition along the streambanks, decrease in width/depth ratio). Cross-sections shall be
classified using the Rosgen Stream Classification method, and all monitored cross-sections should fall
within the quantitative parameters defined for channels of the design stream type.
Reference photo transects will be taken at each permanent cross-section. Lateral photos should not
indicate excessive erosion or continuing degradation of the streambanks. Photographs will be taken of both
streambanks at each cross-section. A survey tape stretched between the permanent cross-section
monuments/pins will be centered in each of the streambank photographs and as much of the streambank
as possible will be included in each photo. Photographers will attempt to consistently maintain the same
area in each photo over time.
Jurisdictional Stream Flow: Monitoring of stream flow will be conducted to demonstrate that the restored
stream systems classified as intermittent exhibit surface flow for a minimum of 30 consecutive days
throughout some portion of the year during years with normal or below normal rainfall conditions. Stream
flow monitoring will be accomplished with pressure transducers installed in pools and correlating sensor
depth to the downstream top of riffle elevation. If the pool water depth is at or above the top of riffle
elevation, then the channel will be assumed to have surface flow (see Appendix E for installation diagrams).
The devices will record water elevation twice per day and will be inspected quarterly to document surface
hydrology and provide a basis for evaluating flow response to rainfall events.
1.4.2 Vegetation
Vegetation monitoring will occur in the fall each required monitoring year, prior to leaf drop. Plots will be
monitored in years 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7. Vegetative success for the Project during the intermediate
monitoring years will be based on the survival of at least 320, three-year-old planted trees per acre at the
end of Year 3 of the monitoring period, and at least 260, five-year-old planted trees per acre that must
average seven feet in height at the end of Year 5 of the monitoring period. The final vegetative restoration
success criteria will be achieving a density of no less than 210, seven-year-old planted stems per acre that
must average 10 feet in height in Year 7 of monitoring.
1.4.3 Visual Assessment
WLS will conduct visual assessments in support of mitigation performance monitoring. Visual assessments
of all stream reaches will be conducted twice per monitoring year with at least five months in between
each site visit for each of the seven years of monitoring. Photographs will be used to visually document
system performance and any areas of concern related to streambank and bed stability, condition of in-
stream structures, channel migration, active headcuts, live stake mortality, invasive plant species or animal
browsing, easement boundary encroachments, cattle exclusion fence damage, and general streambed
conditions. Permanent photo points will be at the cross-sections and crossings.

2 Project Mitigation Components
2.1 Project Components
The Project involved the restoration and permanent protection of nine stream reaches (S100 (North of I-
40, above crossing), S100 (North of I-40 below the crossing), S100 (South of I-40), S102, S101, S200 (North
of I-40), S200 (South of I-40, above crossing), and S200 (South of I-40, below the crossing)) as shown on
Figure 1. The design utilized a combination of Stream Restoration Priority I and Priority II activities, as
summarized in the table below.

3 Monitoring Year 2 Assessment and Results
The dates of Year 2 activities are detailed in Appendix A, Table 2. All Year 2 monitoring data is presented
in this report and in the appendices. Overall, the Project is on track for meeting stream and vegetation
interim success criteria. One reach, S103, is proposed to be removed from project crediting due to
consecutive years of not meeting hydrologic success criteria. All monitoring device locations are depicted
on the CCPV (Figures 1a-1c).

3.1 Morphological Assessment
Morphological data for the Year 2 Monitoring Report was collected in October of 2024. Refer to
Appendices A, B, and D for summary data tables, stream photographs, and morphological data.
3.1.1 Stream & Longitudinal Profile and Horizontal Pattern
Visual assessment was utilized for assessment of MY2 horizontal and vertical stability. The visual
assessment for each stream reach documented MY2 stream channel pattern/longitudinal profiles and in-
stream structure location/function still closely match the profile design parameters and MY0 baseline
conditions (Appendix D). The MY2 planform geometry, or pattern, fell within acceptable ranges of the
design parameters for all restored reaches. Minor channel adjustments in riffle slopes, pool depths, and
pattern were observed based on natural sediment migration and stream bank vegetation establishment
but do not present a stability concern.
One stream problem area (SPA) was identified during December 2023 at the end of MY1, and one
additional SPA was noted in MY2.
 SPA-1 – At the December 2023 site visit, WLS staff noted an area of minor rilling on the left
floodplain hillslope near STA 50+50 of S200 south of I-40. This was most likely due to lower
herbaceous vegetation on the hillslope and an adjacent drainage entering the easement.
o Action taken: WLS installed coir wattles in this area and reseeded with native vegetation
on May 29, 2024. The seeding and wattles have reduced the erosion in the area and WLS
will continue to monitor the area in MY3. There were no issues observed with the
streambanks and floodplain in this area.
 SPA-2 – During the fall monitoring site visit for MY2, WLS staff noted an area of rilling and erosion
on WQDF #1 near station 39+00 on S100 north of I-40. Large rainfall events during MY2, including
Hurricane Helene, created erosion on the hillside into the floodplain of S100 North. The affected
area is approximately 300 sq. feet in total. WLS will add coir wattles and re-seed the area during
MY3.
All water quality drainage features (WQDFs) throughout the site are functioning as intended and remain
stable except for minor rilling on WQDF #1, marked as SPA-2. Vegetation and live stakes are establishing
well on all features. The minor headcut in the left floodplain of S200 just above the crossing, noted by IRT
on the June 21st, 2023 site visit, also appeared stable throughout MY2.There are no other areas of concern
in MY2, and WLS will continue to monitor this area and all WQDFs in MY3.
No direct issues were noted across the site due to the rainfall received from Hurricane Helene. The project
site received approximately 6.5” of rain across three days on September 27 – 29 from the storm system.
CG-1 and CG-2 both recorded bankfull events during the storm.
3.1.2 Stream Channel Dimension
The MY2 stream channel dimensions generally match the design parameters and are within a stable range
of tolerance. 23 cross-sections were installed on restoration reaches, with 13 installed in riffles and ten
installed in pools. Of the 13 riffle cross-sections, 12 show little to no change in BHR or bankfull area in
MY2 when compared to as-built measurements, and all BHRs are less than 1.2. Riffle cross-section 14,
located on S200 north of I-40, has a BHR of 0.82. This BHR is due to the narrowing of the channel due to
herbaceous plant establishment on the stream banks. Cross-section 14 is a small designed channel, so any
minor change in cross-sectional area results in larger changes in the BHR. The max depth of XS-14 remains
6

stable to as-built conditions at 0.6 feet, and the riffle is stable. Although WLS is requesting that S103 be
removed from project crediting, XS-1 will continue to be monitored for stability. It is expected that over
time that some pools may accumulate fine sediment and organic matter, however, this is not an indicator
of channel instability. Maximum riffle depths are expected to fluctuate slightly throughout the monitoring
period as the channels adjust to the restored flow regime.
3.2 Hydrology
3.2.1 Stream Flow
Three pressure transducers (flow gauges) were installed in January (FG-1 and FG-2) and March 2023 (FG-
3) in the restoration sections on reaches S101, S102, and S103 to document baseflow conditions. Two of
the three flow gauges documented that the stream exhibited surface flow for a minimum of 30
consecutive days during the monitoring year. FG-1 only recorded three consecutive days of stream flow.
Due to consecutive years of poor performance, S103 will be removed from project crediting. FG-1 will also
be removed from monitoring, starting in MY3. See the chart below and Appendix E for flow gauge
information. Additionally, to determine if rainfall amounts are normal for the given year, precipitation
data was collected from an onsite rain gauge and the Oxford weather station near Claremont, NC,
approximately 3.7 miles north of the Project site. Rainfall has been lower than the 30th percentile for five
of the past twelve months of data collected in MY2 (Table 8). The site has experienced abnormally dry
conditions in October of 2024.

3.2.2 Bankfull Events
Two crest gauges were installed in January (CG-2) and March 2023 (CG-1) to document bankfull events on
S100 (South of I-40) and S200 (South of I-40, below crossing). During MY2, bankfull events were recorded
on both pressure transducer crest gauges. CG-1 recorded sixteen events with a maximum event of 1.63
feet above bankfull on August 18th, 2024. CG-2 recorded twelve events with a maximum event of 1.90
feet above bankfull on August 18-19th, 2024. Visual bankfull indicators were also observed on both
reaches, including matted vegetation, wrack lines, and sediment deposits on floodplain vegetation. The
associated hydrologic data is in Appendix E, and gauge locations can be found on Figures 1b-1c.
3.3 Vegetation
Monitoring of the 20 permanent and four random vegetation plots was completed on October 30th, 2024.
Vegetation data can be found in Appendix C, with the associated photos located in Appendix B. The MY2
average planted density is 617 stems per acre, which exceeds the interim measure of vegetative success
7

of at least 320 planted stems per acre at the end of the third monitoring year. Each vegetation plot
currently meets success criteria with 364-850 stems per acre. Volunteer sycamore (Platanus occidentalis),
tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), white oak (Quercus alba), river birch (Betula nigra), American
sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), black willow (Salix nigra), and green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) were
noted in MY2, and more volunteers are expected to establish in future years. Visual assessment of
vegetation outside of the monitoring plots indicates that the herbaceous vegetation is becoming well
established throughout the Project.
In MY2, four permanent vegetation plots (plots 6, 13, 20, and 22) were transitioned to mobile, random
vegetation transects (R1-R4) to better monitor areas of vegetative concern such as the saturated
floodplain, dense Juncus areas, and steep sloped areas on S200 north of I-40. As of MY2, all planted woody
vegetation located in the saturated areas of floodplain benches are doing well, and Juncus does not appear
to be suppressing vegetation growth. Vegetation plots 6, 13, 20, and 22 have been removed from Figures
1a-1c and Tables 5a and 5b. Random transects R1 through R4 have been added to the CCPV and Tables
5a and 5b in their place. No supplemental planting is proposed for MY3.
Privet (Ligustrum sinense) and multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora) are present in small pockets on S100 and
S200 within the Project. Kudzu (Pueraria montana) is also present, predominately on the fringe of the
conservation easement located on S200 north of I-40 (approximately 0.35 acres). During MY2, WLS
contracted HARP Restoration Specialists to treat privet, multiflora rose, and kudzu on September 18-19th,
2024. Treatments are documented in the table below. No further growth was noticed during MY2
assessments. Additional treatments will continue to occur throughout MY3 and documented in future
reports.

Stream cross-section monitoring was conducted using a Carlson GNSS survey grade GPS receiver and base
station. Three-dimensional coordinates associated with cross-section data were collected in the field
(NAD83 State Plane feet PIPS 3200). Morphological data was collected at 23 cross-sections. Survey data
was imported into Microsoft Excel® for processing and analysis.
The stage recorders include an automatic pressure transducer set in PVC piping in the channel. The
elevation of the bed and top of bank at each stage recorder location was recorded to be able to document
presence of water in the channel and out of bank events. Visual observations (i.e. wrack or debris lines)
will also be used to document out of bank events.
Vegetation success is being monitored at a total of 20 permanent and four random vegetation plots.
Vegetation plot monitoring follows the CVS-EEP Level 2 Protocol for Recording Vegetation, version 4.2
(Lee et al. 2008) and includes analysis of species composition and density of planted species. The data is
8

processed using the NCDMS ShinyApp tool. In the field, the four corners of each plot were permanently
marked with PVC at the origin and rebar at the other corners. Photos of each plot will be taken from the
origin each monitoring year. Tree species and height will be recorded for each planted stem.

Note: The smaller the channel the closer the survey measurements are to their limit of reliable detection, therefore inter-annual variation in morphological measurement (as a percentage) is by default magnified as channel size decereases. Some of the variability above is the result of this factor and some is due to the large amount of depositional sediments observed.

The above morphology parameters reflect the 2018 guidance that arose from the mitigation technical workgroup consisting of DMS,the IRT and
industrymitigation providers/practitioners. The outcome resulted in the focus on three primary morphological parameters of interest for the
purposes of tracking channel change moving forward. They are the bank height ratio using a constant As-built bankfull area and the cross
sectional area and max depth based on each years low top of bank. These are calculated as follows:
1 - Bank Height Ratio (BHR) takes the As-built bankful area as the basis for adjusting each subsequent years bankfull elevation. For example if
the As-built bankfull area was 10 ft2, then the MY1 bankfull elevation would be adjusted until the calculated bankfull area within the MY1 cross
section survey = 10 ft2. The BHR would then be calculated with the difference between the LOW top of bank (LTOB) elevation for MY1 and the
thalweg elevation for MY1 in the numerator with the difference between the MY1 bankfull elevation and the MY1 thalweg elevation in the
denominator. This same process is then carried out in each successive year.
2 -LTOB Area and Max depth -These are based on the LTOB elevation for each years survey (The same elevation used for the LTOB in the BHR
calculation). Area below the LTOB elevation will be used and tracked for each year as above. The difference between the LTOB elevation and the
thalweg elevation (same as in the BHR calculation) will be recroded and tracked above as LTOB max depth.

WLS Memo

WLS Catawba 01 Umbrella Mitigation Banking Instrument
Starker Mitigation Site
USACE Action ID#: SAW-2020-01540

Subject: Starker MY1 Credit Release Comments
Date Prepared: November 4th, 2024

This memo addresses the North Carolina Interagency Review Team (NCIRT) comments on the Starker
MY1 Credit Release. These comments were provided via email by Steve Kichefski on March 20, 2024.
WLS is providing our written responses to the NCIRT’s review comments below. Each of the NCIRT
review comments is copied below in bold text, followed by the appropriate response from WLS in
regular text:

Andrew Friedman-Herring/Maria Polizzi, NCDWR
1. All of the vegetation data looks very good and is organized in a very easy to read way, which is
appreciated. WLS Response: WLS will continue to present the vegetation data in the current
format.
2. The only cross section that appears to have adjusted significantly is XS-11 deepening
considerably. However, the photos of XS-11 and XS-12 immediately downstream appear
stable. This is an area to watch closely in future years. Otherwise, geomorphology appears
stable and on track. WLS Response: The MY2 survey of XS-11 continues to show stability from
MY1 to MY2. XS-11 is located in a pool which is expected to fluctuate with fine sediment and
organic matter moving through the channel. XS-12 (constructed riffle) continues to remain very
stable from the as-built condition and visual monitoring throughout the reach did not identify
any geomorphic issues within the reach.
3. On figure 1a of MY1 and figure 9 of the Final MP, S101, 102, and 103 are shown as P2
restoration, but section 6.2.1 of the Final MP described the proposed work as P1 with small
sections of P2. In Comment 8 from DWR on the Final MP, a concern was voiced about losing
flow along S101, S102, and S103 from raising the channel bed. Can you clarify what
restoration approach was constructed on these reaches and update figure 1a accordingly if
needed? WLS Response: S101, S102, and S103 were constructed as a PI with small P2 sections,
in accordance with the Final MP, section 6.2.1. WLS will update the CCPV figures to reflect the
proper restoration approach.

4. The flow gauge on S103 is very concerning, as there are only 3 days of consecutive flow. It
appears that no flow has been recorded since 8/27/23, despite this channel being assessed as
intermittent. Be prepared to address this issue with an adaptive management plan in Year 2 if
conditions do not significantly improve. WLS Response: WLS does not expect S103 to meet
success criteria and proposes removing it from potential crediting. In addition, WLS proposes
removing the flow gauge monitoring device on the reach. The cross-section (XS-1) will continue
to be monitored for overall stability as it does capture stormwater flow into S100 North of I-40
from the adjacent agricultural field.
Steve Kichefski, USACE
1. Thank you for a thorough project status discussion, SPA photo and drone photos in the MY1
report. WLS Response: WLS appreciates the acknowledgement of report details.
2. Make sure invasives, particularly Kudzu, receive persistent treatment in order to prevent
problems. Is the Kudzu present in treatable areas outside the CE that may benefit the project
long-term by including in treatments? WLS Response: WLS contracted HARP restoration
specialists during MY2 to treat invasives within the project area, including kudzu. WLS will work
with the farm landowner to treat outside of the conservation easement, but the areas along the
DOT right-of-way on Interstate 40 will not be accessible or treatable.
3. XS14 problem noted although visually it does not stand out on the cross-section graph. XS-11
shows pool deepening. What is happening in this location? WLS Response: XS-11 did deepen
from MY0 to MY1 but remained stable into MY2. Per design, S100 South of I-40 was built as a ‘C-
type’ channel designed with a 15.2 square foot cross-sectional area based of the final approved
design plans. The MY2 cross-sectional area is calculated at 15.15 square feet.
4. Zooming in or possibly vertical exaggeration may help long term review of cross section
graphs. As currently presented, it will be difficult to assess in later monitoring years with the
additional lines. WLS Response: WLS will adjust the output graphs to be larger for expedited
review.
5. Low flow is noted on S103 and concerning. Only 1 stream flow response recorded from rain
events after July. Was this believed to be from low water table during that time of year?
Continue to ensure gauge is functioning properly and update IRT in MY2 as recommended.
WLS Response: WLS does not expect S103 to meet success criteria and proposes removing it
from project crediting. WLS will continue to survey cross-section 1 and monitor the reach for
stability as it is a stormwater flow connection to S100.

6. Multiple bankfull events noted. Were physical bankfull flow indicators found in the field and
documented. Photos with dates are helpful to support crest gauge data and the descriptions
could be added to Table 7a/7b. Example…during site visit on 12/6/2023, bent vegetation,
wracking and sediment on vegetation were documented near CG-1 (see photo). WLS Response:
Physical indicators were noted by staff, but not photographed in MY1. WLS will provide physical
bankfull indicators in future monitoring years. For MY2, physical bankfull flow indicator photos
have been included after the MY2 Tables 7a/7b in Appendix E.
7. The inclusion of previous IRT comments with responses in the report is appreciated. Please
continue to build this record of correspondence in future report submittals. WLS Response:
WLS will continue to include the previous monitoring year’s IRT comments and WLS’s responses
in each monitoring report.
8. CCPV legend – As random veg plots begin this monitoring year make sure to display (along
with success status) on the CCPV. Keep in mind, it is helpful to see previous years’ random veg
plot locations. WLS Response: All random vegetation transects are included in this year’s CCPV
maps. WLS will continue to include random transects in future reports.
