Little Troublesome Creek Mitigation Site
Monitoring Year 4 Annual Report— FINAL
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Wildlands Engineering (Wildlands) completed a full -delivery project for the North Carolina Division of
Mitigation Services (NCDMS) to restore a total of 4,968 linear feet (LF) of stream and restore, enhance,
and create 17.2 acres (ac) of wetlands in Rockingham County, North Carolina. The project streams
consist of Little Troublesome Creek, Irvin Creek and one unnamed tributary (UT1) to Little Troublesome
Creek. The largest of these streams, Little Troublesome Creek, ultimately drains to the Haw River. At
the downstream limits of the project, the drainage area is 3,245 acres (5.1 square miles).
The Little Troublesome Creek Stream Mitigation Site, hereafter referred to as the Stream Site, is located
in Rockingham County on the southeastern side of Reidsville along Irvin and Little Troublesome Creeks.
The wetland area, hereafter referred to as the Wetland Site, is located approximately four miles
southeast of the Stream Site and is also adjacent to Little Troublesome Creek. The Stream Site is located
south of Turner Road, east of the intersection of Turner Road and Way Street in the City of Reidsville,
North Carolina (Figure 1). The Wetland Site is located approximately 3,000 feet southwest of the
intersection of NC Highway 150 and Mizpah Church Road, south of the City of Reidsville (Figure 1). The
Stream and Wetland Sites are located in the Inner Piedmont Belt of the Piedmont Physiographic
Province (USGS, 1998). The Sites are located within the North Carolina Division of Water Resources
(NCDWR) subbasin 03-06-01 of the Cape Fear River Basin, United States Geological Survey (USGS)
Hydrologic Unit 03030002010030. Approximately 28% of the land in the project watershed has been
developed and approximately 17% of the land surface is impervious. Land uses within the watershed
include: forested land (55%), developed (28%), and cultivated land (17%). The Stream Site is a tract
owned by Wildlands Little Troublesome Creek Holdings, LLC and the Wetland Site is owned by Jerry
Apple.
Prior to construction activities, the most significant watershed stressors identified during the technical
assessment were stream bank erosion and instability. Other stressors included declining aquatic
habitat, loss of forest, degraded riparian buffers, loss of wetlands, lack of urban stormwater detention,
and water quality problems related to increased sediment and nutrient loadings. As a result of the
aforementioned stressors, the Stream Site and Wetland Site had poor water quality due to sediment
pollution and poor habitat due to lack of riparian and wetland vegetation. In particular, the Stream Site
lacked stable streambank vegetation despite being surrounded by mature vegetation. The Stream Site
also lacked in -stream bed diversity and exhibited unstable geomorphic conditions. The primary
objectives of the project were to stabilize highly eroding stream banks, reconnect streams to their
historic floodplain, improve wetland hydrology and function, reduce nutrient levels, sediment input, and
water temperature, increase dissolved oxygen concentrations, create appropriate in -stream and
terrestrial habitat, and decrease channel velocities. These objectives were achieved by restoring 4,968
LF of perennial stream channel, and restoring, enhancing, and creating 17.2 acres of riparian wetland.
The Stream Site and Wetland Site riparian areas were also planted to stabilize streambanks, improve
habitat, and protect water quality. Figure 2 and Table 1 in Appendix 1 present design applications for
the Sites.
The following project goals were established to address the effects listed above from watershed and
project site stressors:
• Stabilize stream dimensions;
• Stabilize stream pattern and profile;
• Establish proper substrate distribution throughout the streams;
• Establish wetland hydrology for restored wetlands; and
Little Troublesome Creek Mitigation Site
Monitoring Year 4 Annual Report — FINAL iii
• Restore native vegetation throughout wetlands and buffer zones.
The following secondary project goals (unmeasured) were established in the project Mitigation Plan
(Wildlands, 2011) to address the effects from watershed and project site stressors:
• Decrease nutrient and urban runoff pollutant levels;
• Decrease sediment input;
• Decrease water temperature and increase dissolved oxygen levels;
• Create appropriate in -stream habitat;
• Create appropriate terrestrial habitat; and
• Decrease channel velocities.
Stream and wetland restoration, enhancement, and creation construction efforts were completed in
May 2012. A conservation easement is in place on 33.0 ac (acres) of the Stream Site and 19.0 ac of the
Wetland Site to protect them in perpetuity.
Monitoring Year 4 (MY -4) monitoring and site visits were completed during May -November, 2015 to
assess the conditions of the Sites. The Sites have met the required hydrologic, vegetation, and stream
success criteria for MY -4. The Sites overall average stem density of 618 stems/ acre is greater than the
260 stem/ acre density required for MY -5. All restored and enhanced streams are stable and
functioning as designed and the Stream Site has met the Monitoring Year 5 (MY -5) hydrology success
criteria. All groundwater gages met the MY -4 success criteria on the Wetland Site.

Section 1: PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Little Troublesome Creek Mitigation Site, hereafter referred to as the Sites, is located in Rockingham
County within the Cape Fear River Basin (USGS Hydrologic Unit 03030002) near the town of Reidsville,
North Carolina. The Little Troublesome Creek Stream Mitigation Site, hereafter referred to as the
Stream Site, is located in Rockingham County on the southeastern side of Reidsville along Irvin and Little
Troublesome Creeks. The wetland area, hereafter referred to as the Wetland Site, is located
approximately four miles southeast of the Stream Site and is also adjacent to Little Troublesome Creek.
The Stream Site is located south of Turner Road, east of the intersection of Turner Road and Way Street
in the City of Reidsville, North Carolina (Figure 1). The Wetland Site is located approximately 3,000 feet
southwest of the intersection of NC Highway 150 and Mizpah Church Road, south of the City of
Reidsville (Figure 1). The Sites are located in the Inner Piedmont Belt of the Piedmont Physiographic
Province (USGS, 1998). The project watersheds consists of forested, developed, and cultivated lands.
The drainage area for the Stream Site is 3,245 acres at the lower end of Little Troublesome Creek.
The project stream reaches consist of Little Troublesome Creek, Irvin Creek, and one unnamed tributary
(UT1) to Little Troublesome Creek (stream restoration approach). Mitigation work within the Sites
included restoring 4,968 linear feet (LF) of perennial and intermittent stream channel and restoring,
enhancing, and creating 17.2 acres (ac) of riparian wetland. The Stream and Wetland Sites were also
planted with native vegetation to improve habitat and protect water quality. Conservation easements
have been recorded on the Sites and are in place along the stream and wetland riparian corridors to
protect them in perpetuity; 33.0 ac (Deed Book 1411, Page Number 2458) owned by Wildlands Little
Troublesome Creek Holdings, LLC and 19.0 ac (Deed Book 1412, Page Number 1685) owned by Jerry
Apple. Directions and maps of the Sites are provided in Figure 1 and project components are illustrated
for the Sites in Figures 2a and 2b.
The final Mitigation Plan was submitted and accepted by the North Carolina Division on Mitigation
Services (NCDMS) in June of 2011. Construction activities were completed by Fluvial Solutions in May of
2012. Planting and seeding activities were completed by Bruton Natural Systems, Inc. in May 2012.
Baseline monitoring (MY -0) was conducted between April and May 2012. Annual monitoring will be
conducted for five years on the Stream Site and for seven years on the Wetland Site with the close-outs
anticipated to commence in 2017 and 2019 given the success criteria are met. Appendix 1 provides
more detailed project activity, history, contact information, and watershed/site background information
for this project.
1.1 Project Goals and Objectives
Prior to construction activities, the most significant watershed stressors identified during the technical
assessment were stream bank erosion and instability. Other stressors included declining aquatic
habitat, loss of forest, degraded riparian buffers, loss of wetlands, lack of urban stormwater detention,
and water quality problems related to increased sediment and nutrient loadings. As a result of the
aforementioned stressors, the Stream Site and Wetland Site had poor water quality due to sediment
pollution and poor habitat due to lack of riparian and wetland vegetation. In particular, the Stream Site
lacked stable streambank vegetation despite being surrounded by mature vegetation. The Stream Site
also lacked in -stream bed diversity and exhibited unstable geomorphic conditions. Table 4 in Appendix
1 and Tables 10a, and 10b in Appendix 4 present the pre -restoration conditions in detail.
Little Troublesome Creek Mitigation Site
Monitoring Year 4 Annual Report — FINAL 1-1
The Sites were designed to meet the over -arching goals as described in the Mitigation Plan (Wildlands,
2011) to address the effects from watershed and project site stressors. The project is intended to
provide numerous ecological benefits within the Cape Fear River Basin. While many of these benefits
are limited to the Sites project area, others, such as pollutant removal and improved aquatic and
terrestrial habitat, have more far-reaching effects. The following project specific primary goals
established in the Mitigation Plan include:
• Stabilize stream dimensions;
• Stabilize stream pattern and profile;
• Establish proper substrate distribution throughout the streams;
• Establish wetland hydrology for restored wetlands; and
• Restore native vegetation throughout wetlands and buffer zones.
Secondary project goals (unmeasured) established in the Mitigation Plan were to address the effects
from watershed and project site stressors include:
• Decrease nutrient and urban runoff pollutant levels;
• Decrease sediment input;
• Decrease water temperature and increase dissolved oxygen levels;
• Create appropriate in -stream habitat;
• Create appropriate terrestrial habitat; and
• Decrease channel velocities.
The primary and secondary project goals were addressed through the following project objectives:
• Riffle cross sections of the restoration and enhancement reaches were constructed to
remain stable and will show little change in bankfull area, maximum depth ratio, and width -
to -depth ratio overtime.
• The project was constructed so that the bedform features of the restoration reaches will
remain stable overtime. This includes riffles that will remain steeper and shallower than the
pools, and pools that are deep with flat water surface slopes. The relative percentage of
riffles and pools will not change significantly over time. Banks were constructed so that
bank height ratios will remain very near to 1.0 for nearly all of the restoration reaches.
• Stream substrate will remain coarse in the riffles and finer in the pools.
• A free groundwater surface will be present within 12 inches of the ground surface in the
restored wetland areas for 7 percent of the growing season measured on consecutive days
under typical precipitation conditions.
• Native vegetation appropriate for the wetland and riparian buffer zones were planted
throughout both the Wetland and Stream Sites. The planted trees will become well
established and survival success criteria will be met.
• Off-site nutrient input will be absorbed on-site by filtering flood flows through restored
floodplain areas and wetlands, where flood flows can disperse through native vegetation
and be captured in vernal pools. Increased surface water residency time will provide
contact treatment time and groundwater recharge potential.
• Sediment input from eroding stream banks was reduced by installing bioengineering and in -
stream structures while creating a stable channel form using geomorphic design principles.
Sediment from off-site sources will be captured by deposition on restored floodplain areas
where native vegetation will slow overland flow velocities.
• Restored riffle/pool sequences where distinct points of re -aeration can occur will allow for
oxygen levels to be maintained in the perennial reaches. Creation of deep pool zones will
Little Troublesome Creek Mitigation Site
Monitoring Year 4 Annual Report — FINAL 1-2
lower water temperature, helping to maintain dissolved oxygen concentrations.
Establishment and maintenance of riparian buffers will create long-term shading of the
channel flow to minimize thermal heating.
• A channel form that includes riffle/pool sequences and gravel and cobble zones creating
habitat for macroinvertebrates and fish. Large woody debris, rock structures, root wads,
and native stream bank vegetation were introduced to substantially increase habitat value.
• Adjacent buffer areas were restored by removing invasive vegetation and planting native
vegetation. These areas will be allowed to receive more regular and inundating flows.
Riparian wetland areas were restored and enhanced to provide wetland habitat.
• By allowing for more overbank flooding and by increasing channel roughness, local channel
velocities can be reduced. This will allow for less bank shear stress, formation of refuge
zones during large storm events and zonal sorting of depositional material.
The design streams and wetlands were restored to the appropriate type based on the surrounding
landscape, climate, and natural vegetation communities but also with strong consideration to existing
watershed conditions and trajectory. The mitigation project was developed to restore a high quality of
riparian function to the streams, wetlands, and riparian corridors.
1.2 Monitoring Year 4 Data Assessment
Annual monitoring and quarterly site visits were conducted during Monitoring Year 4 (MY -4) to assess
the condition of the project. The stream and wetland mitigation success criteria for the Sites follow the
approved success criteria presented in the Mitigation Plan (Wildlands, 2011).
1.2.1 Vegetative Assessment
A total of 35 (22 at the Wetland Site; 13 at the Stream Site) vegetation plots were established within the
project easement areas using standard 10 meter by 10 meter vegetation monitoring plots. UT1 was
constructed within a narrow cleared corridor to minimize disturbance to the surrounding mature
vegetation. Due to the narrow planted corridor along UT1, vegetation plots were not established.
Instead, a visual assessment of the planted corridor is used to evaluate vegetation growth success. The
final vegetative success criteria will be the survival of 260 planted stems per acre in the riparian corridor
of the Stream Site at the end of MY -5, and 210 planted stems per acre within the Wetland Site at the
end of MY -7.
The MY -4 vegetative survey was completed in June 2015. The 2015 annual vegetation monitoring
resulted in an average stem density of 520 stems per acre for the Wetland Site, which is greater than the
final requirement of 260 stems/acre and approximately 26% less than the baseline (MY -0) density
recorded (701 stems/acre). At the Wetland Site, three of the plots did not meet the final success criteria
and averaged 202 stems per acre; however with the inclusion of volunteer species the plots are on track
to meet the success criteria for MY -7. These three plots are located on one of the wettest parts of the
Wetland Site. This area is one of the lowest parts of the Wetland Site, and has standing water on it
frequently. In the past, Wildlands has observed higher planted tree mortality in areas with frequently
standing water, compared to the drier parts of projects. This area will be monitored for tree survival
during future monitoring years. There was an average of 12 stems per plot in MY -4 as compared to 17
stems per plot during MY -0 for the Wetland Site. All 13 plots at the Stream Site are on track to meet the
MY -5 success criteria of 260 planted stems per acre. The average stem density at the Stream Site was
716 stems/acre, which is well above the final requirement, but approximately 25% less than the baseline
density recorded (953 stems/acre). There was an average of 18 stems per plot in MY -4 compared to 24
stems per plot in MY -0 for the Stream Site. Refer to Appendix 2 for vegetation plot photographs, the
Little Troublesome Creek Mitigation Site
Monitoring Year 4 Annual Report — FINAL 1-3
vegetation condition assessment table, and the Current Condition Plan View Map, and Appendix 3 for
vegetation data tables.
1.2.2 Vegetation Areas of Concern
Isolated areas of invasive species including kudzu (Pueraria montana), multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora),
and Japanese stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum) have been documented at the Stream Site. During
MY -4 kudzu and multiflora rose were sprayed to control these invasive plants and keep them from
spreading farther into the easement. The presence of these species does not appear to be affecting the
survivability of planted stems, but these areas will be closely monitored during subsequent site visits
and further controlled if deemed necessary.
1.2.3 Stream Assessment
Morphological surveys for the MY -4 were conducted in May 2015. With the exception of some isolated
areas of bank erosion and pool deposition, all streams within the Stream Site are stable with little to no
erosion and have met the success criteria for MY -4. Refer to Appendix 2 for the visual assessment table,
the Integrated Current Condition Plan View Map, and reference photographs. Refer to Appendix 4 for
the morphological data and plots.
In general, cross sections show little to no change in the bankfull area, maximum depth ratio, or width -
to -depth ratio. Cross Sections on UT1 show a decrease in cross-sectional area and bankfull width. This
is due to sediment deposition from Little Troublesome Creek during bankfull events. This is normal and
is not a sign of instability. Surveyed riffle cross sections fell within the parameters defined for channels
of the appropriate Rosgen stream type. Several pool cross sections on the Stream Site have shown an
accumulation of sediment on the point bars resulting in a slight narrowing of the pool cross
sections. Since point bars are depositional features, this is fully expected. As discussed in the Mitigation
Plan, narrowing of the channel over time is expected for restored alluvial streams and is an indication of
stability. The surveyed longitudinal profile data for the stream restoration reaches illustrates that the
bedform features are maintaining lateral and vertical stability. The riffles are remaining steeper and
shallower than the pools, while the pools are remaining deeper than riffles and maintaining flat water
surface slopes. The longitudinal profiles show that the bank height ratios remain near 1.0 for all of the
restoration reaches. UT1 longitudinal profile data is showing deposition throughout the stream. This
sediment deposition appears to be from bankfull events on Little Troublesome Creek. This is normal
and expected on small streams that flow into large channels. It is not affecting channel stability but will
be monitored.
In -stream structures such as root wads, used to enhance channel habitat and stability on the outside
bank of meander bends are providing stability and habitat as designed. During MY -3 bank scour was
documented in the meander bend at STA 207+50-208+80 (Cross Section 12) on Little Troublesome
Creek. Undercutting of the rootwads resulted in an area of bank scour within this meander bend. This
was repaired during MY -4 by lowering the rootwads and adding brush toe to fill in any voids. Geolifts
were installed with brush whips and live stakes to stabilize the stream bank. Since the repair work, this
section of Little Troublesome Creek appears stable and will continue to be monitored for any signs of
instability.
Pattern data will only be completed in MY -5 if there are indicators from the profile or cross sections that
significant geomorphic adjustments have occurred. No changes were observed that indicated a change
in the radius of curvature or channel belt width; therefore, pattern data is not included in the MY -4
report.

Monitoring Year 4 Annual Report — FINAL 1-4
1.2.4 Stream Areas of Concern
Depositional areas observed on UT1 will be monitored for indications of long term instability and a
maintenance plan will implemented if deemed necessary. At the beginning of October, the Stream Site
had an approximately 50-100 year flow event (estimated from rack lines that were 3-4 feet above
bankfull) as Hurricane Joaquin moved along the North Carolina coast. At a post storm site visit, it was
observed that this major flow event caused a few isolated areas of bank scour. Wildlands is currently
working with a contractor to repair these areas during the winter of 2015/ 2016.
1.2.5 Hydrology Assessment
At the end of the five year monitoring period, two or more bankfull events must have occurred in
separate years within the restoration reaches. Bankfull events were recorded on Irvin Creek, Little
Troublesome Creek, and UT1 by crest gage or onsite observations (wrack lines) during the MY -1, MY -2,
MY -3, and MY -4 data collection. The Stream Site has met the hydrologic success criteria. Please refer to
Appendix 5 for hydrologic data. During the summer of MY -4 a trail camera was placed along Irvin Creek
and set to capture pictures every hour. Appendix 5 shows a few of the pictures taken with the trail
camera during bankfull events.
1.2.6 Wetland Assessment
Eight groundwater monitoring gages are established in the wetland restoration, enhancement, and
creation zones. The gages were installed at appropriate locations so that the data collected will provide
an indication of groundwater levels throughout the Wetland Site. A barotroll logger and a rain gage
were also installed onsite. To provide data for the determination of the growing season for the wetland
areas, two soil temperature probes were installed to collect growing season data. These probes are
used to better define the beginning of the growing season using the threshold soil temperature of 41
degrees or higher measured at a depth of 12 inches (USACE, 2010). During MY -1, MY -2, and MY -3 NRCS
WETS Data was used to determine the growing season for the Wetland Site. After discussions with the
United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), it was agreed to use on-site soil temperature data to
determine the beginning of the growing season and use NRCS WETS data to determine the end of the
growing season. During MY -4, the beginning of the growing season was extended by 16 days based on
data from the soil temperature probes. All monitoring gages were downloaded on a quarterly basis and
maintained on an as needed basis. The success criteria for wetland hydrology is to have a free
groundwater surface within 12 inches of the ground surface for 7 percent of the growing season, which
is measured on consecutive days under typical precipitation conditions. All groundwater gages met the
annual wetland hydrology success criteria for MY -4. Refer to Appendix 2 for the groundwater gage
locations and Appendix 5 for groundwater hydrology data and plots.
The USACE requested to have the pre -construction groundwater gage data overlain with the MY -4 gage
data to illustrate the hydrologic response of the wetlands associated with rainfall events at the Wetland
Site. Wildlands overlaid the pre -construction groundwater well data with the closest monitoring
groundwater well data and rain data. Refer to Appendix 5 for pre and post construction groundwater
gage comparison plots.
1.2.7 Maintenance Plan
Wildlands is currently working with a contractor to repair isolated areas of bank erosion as described in
section 1.2.4 above.
Little Troublesome Creek Mitigation Site
Monitoring Year 4 Annual Report — FINAL 1-5
1.3 Monitoring Year 4 Summary
With the exception of pool deposition on UTI and some isolated areas of bank scour on Little
Troublesome Creek, all streams within the Stream Site are stable and functioning as designed.
Deposition observed on UT1 will be monitored for indications of long term instability. Repair work is
being coordinated on Little Troublesome Creek and will be implemented this winter. The overall,
average stem density for the Sites is on track to meet the MY -5 and MY -7 success criteria; however, a
few individual vegetation plots did not meet the MY -7 success criteria as noted in the Integrated Current
Condition Plan View Map. While the stream hydrology success criteria was met during the initial two
years of monitoring, additional bankfull events were documented in MY -4. All groundwater gages met
the MY -4 success criteria. Summary information and data related to the performance of various project
and monitoring elements can be found in the tables and figures in the report appendices.

Section 2: METHODOLOGY
Geomorphic data was collected following the standards outlined in The Stream Channel Reference Site:
An Illustrated Guide to Field Techniques (Harrelson et al., 1994) and in the Stream Restoration: A
Natural Channel Design Handbook (Doll et al., 2003). Cross section data was collected using a total
station and was georeferenced. All data collected for the Integrated Current Condition Mapping was
recorded using a Trimble handheld GPS with sub -meter accuracy and processed using Pathfinder and
ArcView. Crest gages were installed in surveyed riffle cross sections and monitored quarterly.
Hydrology attainment installation and monitoring methods are in accordance with the USACE (USACE,
2003) standards. Vegetation monitoring protocols followed the Carolina Vegetation Survey-NCDMS
Level 2 Protocol (Lee et al., 2008). Reporting follows the NCDMS Monitoring Report Template and
Guidance Version 1.2.1 (NCDMS, 2009). Narrative background and supporting information formerly
found in these reports can be found in the Mitigation Plan documents available on NCDMS's website.
All raw data supporting the tables and figures in the appendices are available from NCDMS upon
request.

The subject project site is an environmental restoration site of the
NCDEQ Department of Mitigation Services (DMS) and is
encompassed by a recorded conservation easement, but is
bordered by land under private ownership. Accessing the site may
require traversing areas near or along the easement boundary and
therefore access by the general public is not permitted. Access by
authorized personnel of state and federal agencies or their
designees/contractors involved in the development, oversight,
and stewardship of the restoration site is permitted within the terms
and timeframes of their defined roles. Any intended site visitation or
activity by any person outside of these previously sanctioned roles
and activites requires prior coordination with DMS.

^There is potential to gain more Stream Mitigation Units if the NC IRT Draft Regulatory Guidance for the Calculation of Stream and Buffer Mitigation Credit (March 11, 2009) is used for calculating Stream
Mitigation Units.
* Stream and wetland credits were modified during Monitoring Year 4 based on examination of as -built surveys. Stream credits were also calculated using the 2003 Stream Mitigation Guidlines instead of using
the INC IRT Draft Regulatory Guidance for the Calculation of Stream and Buffer Mitigation Credit (March 11, 2009).
**The higher enhancement ratio was agreed to with Todd Tugwell, with the USACE, during a March 9, 2011 meeting for several reasons. The higher ratio is warranted because of the low
quality of the existing wetland enhancement zone. Previously the enhancement zone, like the restoration and creation zones, was used for farming. The hydrology of the site has been
altered by a drainage ditch and a berm along Little Troublesome Creek. There is no vegetation on the site except for some areas of grasses and cultivated crops. Enhancement activities
performed on the site will include improving the hydrology of the enhancement zone (as well as the creation and restoration zones) and restoring the native vegetation. Therefore the
functional uplift of the enhancement portion of the project will be nearly the same as that of the restoration zone and, thus, a high ratio for enhancement is appropriate.

1Design parameters were expanded during the final design phase.
2Restoration approach was adjusted from a priority 1 to a priority 2 during the final design phase.
3The critical shear stress analysis was not perfomed on the sand bed channels.
*LF provided includes portions of the stream that will be monitored and has been reconstructed, but for which mitigation credit will not be claimed. Please refer to Table 1 in Appendix 1 for the credit summary lengths.
^Pool to pool spacing calculations were measured using the most downstream pool in the meander for the as -built compared to the design pool to pool spacing, which included pools and plunge pools in the min and max values
