Site Location and Watershed Setting Site Location: Figure 1 includes a location map and driving directions to both the proposed restoration reach and the reference reach sites. These sites both lie within the Twin Lakes Business Park and are located within adjacent catchments within the headwaters to Long Creek. The connector roads in the Park are now cut by the outerbelt right-of-way, and the two sites must be accessed from different entrances as indicated in the driving directions noted on Figure 1. Watershed setting: Figure 2 shows the 1:24,000 USGS topographic and hydrographic data for the vicinity of the Twin Lakes Business Park. On this map, the watershed boundaries have been delineated for both the proposed restoration reach and the reference reach. Both watersheds are headwater catchments of Long Creek (Catawba River Basin) and lie within the North Carolina Piedmont Physiographic Region. The drainage basin contributing to stream flow at the lower end of the proposed restoration site is approximately 0.15 square miles. Three small subcatchments converge on the reach within the drained lake at the restoration site. The drainage basin contributing to stream flow at the reference reach is also 0.15 square miles. The proposed restoration reach and reference reach are both 1st order tributaries that have perennial flow. The USGS map shows only the pre- existing lake at the restoration site with an intermittent blue line extending down stream from the lake. Visits to the site over the last few years has demonstrated that the main channel feeding the pond (from the NNE subcatchment) is a perennial stream with persistent year round baseflow. While the USGS map shows the reference reach as an intermittent stream persistent baseflow was noted throughout August through November 2005, a period during which there had been. below average precipitation, and for which the regional water table would normally have reached its annual low level. B. Summary of Stream Restoration a. Restoration Goal and Objectives. The goals of the proposed restoration activities were to restore original morphologic, hydrologic and ecologic functions to approximately 437 linear feet of a Rosgen E5/C5 stream reach in northern Mecklenburg County along an un -named lst order perennial stream in conjunction with the preservation, enhancement and restoration of approximately 0.6 acres of bottomland wetlands. The stream and bottomland wetlands are located within the "Twin Lakes Business Park" on a common area open space tract held by the Twin Lakes Park Owners Association, Inc. The site was formerly a small pond, but due to road widening along US21 in association with construction of the nearby I-485 Charlotte outerbelt, NCDOT drained the pond and install a riprap lined ditch to collect and convey runoff to the new culvert that was placed under the widened US21 (the latter installed at the sedimented -in level of the old pond bottom). Watershed runoff from approximately 0. 15 sq. mi. flowed into the former pond where it was conveyed along a channel, with more ditch -like characteristics than that of a natural stream, to the outflow culvert (Figure 3 of original 2006 plan). In 2006, a restoration plan was submitted MI and approved for a NW27 permit for stream restoration at the site in conjunction with the formation of two small ponds to serve as value-added amenities for the open space plan within the business park. The 2006 plan was not implemented due to construction access limitations that persisted until the fall of 2008. The original restoration permit expired in April of 2007. Between April of 2007 and Spring of 2009, the vegetation, hydrology and soils in the drained pond bottom continued to evolve, such that in May of 2009 when it was determined that construction access could again be gained from the recently completed Hwy 21 corridor, substantial areas of jurisdictional wetlands formed. Thus, in May and June of 2009, the target restoration area was assessed for jurisdictional wetlands (see Rindner report, Appendix to 2009 restoration plan). Due to regulatory requirements, the existence of significant jurisdiction wetlands in the old drained pond bottom required that any restoration attempted at the site provide for increased wetland and stream benefits. Thus, the 2009 restoration plan revised the original plan to protect, enhance and restore additional wetlands at the site as a North Carolina Bottomland Swamp Forest habitat in conjunction with the stream restoration work. Overall, the revised 2009 plan for restoration at the site aimed to restore the following water related resources within the old drained pond bottom: a) restore —437 feet of a 1 S` order perennial stream (much of which was a rip rap ditch with no pools or riffles); b) preserve —.4 acres of jurisdictional wetlands by incorporating these areas in a permanent conservation easement; c) enhance the above 0.4 acres of wetlands by blocking the artificial ditches that were installed to promote drainage and by installing new plants to provide diversification to existing grasses and shrubs and promote a robust NC bottomland swamp forest wetland type habitat; d) restore an additional — 02 acres of bottomland as Piedmont Bottomland Swamp Forest wetland; e) establish two open water areas in hydraulic equilibrium with floodplain shallow aquifer and adjacent wetlands (as back water stream splay or ox -bow lake type environments) to augment both aquatic resources at the site and park amenity site goals; and f) establish approximately 6000 square feet of littoral habitat in the shallow 0-3 ft fringe of open water ponds to promote broad spectrum ecological support at the site. b. Restoration Schedule: The 2009 restoration plan was submitted in early July of 2009 (SAC 2007-2368-6NJ) and approved shortly thereafter. In the fall and winter of 2009/2010, designs moved into construction plans and local permitting. Financing and final construction contracts were approved in the late summer of 2010 and construction commenced in early September. Grading on the site continued until the early part of November 2010. From November to March, various aspects of the planting schedule were installed. As -built surveys were conducted in the spring of 2011. In May of 2011, the official survey of the conservation areas to be protected by the conservation instrument was completed. At the time of writing of this as -built report, littoral plant installation is still outstanding, as these are usually a late spring early summer installation. Due to the presence of geese in the ponds, it had been decided that the p. 3 littoral zones should be planted in 2 or 3 phases with exclusion fencing. If the first plots are successfully established, the remaining plots will be installed in 2012. Pond water levels are being suppressed by 1.0-12" to allow the deeper 2' depths of the littoral plant zones to adapt gradually to deepening water conditions over a 30-90 day period. Full pond levels should be re- established by late summer. Section 2. As -built Conditions A. Fluvial Geomorphology The overall morphologic parameters of the restored stream's pattern, dimension, and profile closely followed the reference reach -based design elements laid forth within the original 60% design documents submitted and approved by the NW27 permit. The basic morphologic design parameters are laid out in Table 3 of the initial plan (included here in Appendix A). The design initially laid forth in this document was adapted slightly to accommodate tie-in elevations and zones of unstable running sand encountered during excavation of the new channel through the old pond sediment. The spillways for both ponds were shifted to opposing stream banks in order to minimize areas of potential impacts from future potential maintenance, the placement of a grade control sill at the lower end of both spillways, and to facilitate construction. a) Pattern Restoration: Figure 3 of Appendix B shows the surveyed constructed pattern as measured using standard stream morphologic survey methods in the winter of 2011 following final construction of the stream in early November of 2010. The restored intermittent stream channel is approximately 485 feet in length and is broken up into approximately 18 riffle (inflection) areas and 18 pool (meander) areas. The restored stream pattern parameters followed the guidelines laid out in the initial restoration plan. The constructed new alignment follows the alignment laid forth in the initial restoration plans, selected to avoid and enhance existing wetlands, and mimic meander belt width, radii of meander curvature, and the meander wavelengths observed in the reference reach. b) Dimension Restoration: Figure 4 in Appendix C illustrates the typical cross sections that have been constructed along the length of the restored stream for both inflection and meander areas. The surveyed data for these monitoring cross sections are tabulated and provided in Appendix C. Each monitoring cross section has permanent stakes placed for successive re- occupation over the 5 years of monitoring. A reasonably consistent bankfull cross section area, aligned with the parameters established by the reference reach, is maintained throughout the restoration, with exception of the last —100' or so feet that drops the stream into culvert that crosses under US Highway 21. Here, two floodplain benches were necessary (see Figure 3) to maintain an appropriate bankfull dimension and floodprone width. c) Longitudinal Profile Restoration: The constructed longitudinal profile was surveyed by conventional stream morphologic methods (tape and transit level). The final survey tables of the data and a plot of the longitudinal profile (Figure 5) are included in Appendix D. On the plot of the longitudinal profile, the two primary fluvial habitats, riffles and pools, are separated. At the upper tie-in, a midway point (at the end of the pond spillways) and at the lower tie-in grade control structures were installed. The upper and lower tie-in areas had conventional cross vanes installed and the midway point had a grade control sill put in. The grade control structures were p. 4 constructed by: 1) over excavation, 2) placement of ABC and nonwoven filter fabric as a preparatory bed for the grade control tabular stones, 3) laying in both a footer and upper layer of large tabular rock to bring the stream to its design bed elevations, and 4) chinking voids with smaller rocks, and then matting and seeding banks for the transition around the structure. Also for grade control, each of the constructed riffle zone had continuous underplating with nonwoven filter fabric to inhibit any potential for either `outflanking' or incision over time, and at least 1/3 of the stone placed had diameters in excess of expected mobility thresholds. B. Hydrologic Restoration for Stream and Wetlands The hydrology of the restoration area has already stabilized. By early March of 2011, both ponds were full and in equilibrium with water levels in the upslope wetlands. While the stream was initially thought to transitional from intermittent to perennial in hydrologic nature, it is likely to be perennial, as it has flowed continuously since its completion in November. All adjacent wetlands have had surface or near surface water continuously from late February to the 1St of June. The two small areas of floodplain bench grading (along the southeastern perimeter of the stream restoration) may, or may not, transition to permanent or seasonal wetlands. Overall, the creation of low head berms along the fringes between the lower pond and the NW wetland areas provides a net aerial expansion as well as a temporal increase in the duration of wetland hydrologic conditions. In addition, to insure grading did not have a detrimental impact on existing wetlands, coir fiber log runs were established at the downslope areas to those wetlands not protected by the low head pond berms. These logs will transition to soil and form permeable retardation berms for the existing wetlands. At the time of As Built report documentation, the project met, and in several areas exceeded, design expectations. C. Habitat and Plant Community Restoration Figure 6 (Appendix E) shows an overview of the restoration area broken down into its four primary habitat areas. These are the a) riparian banks along the stream corridor, b) the bottomland ,`Piedmont Swamp Forest', floodplain wetlands, c) the surrounding hill slopes which target a general Piedmont Upland Forest community dominated by native hardwood species, and d) the aquatic plant community to be established in the 0' to 2' water depths around about 70% of the perimeters of the two ponds. All habitat communities use native species in comparable ecological settings, adapted to local factors of microclimate, soils, and hydrology. The final installed range or mix of species used in each of these areas is laid forth in Table 5 (Appendix E). Survivorship of these installed plants is discussed in the monitoring and contingency section that follows. D. Conservation Area The project includes a conservation area to limit disturbance within the restored stream, wetlands and habitat areas. This area is approximately a 2.6 acres that extends from the upper stream restoration tie-in down to US Hwy 21 (see Figure 7, Appendix A). p. 5 Section 3. Year 5 Monitoring Monitoring for Year 5 was conducted in late July and early August of the 2016 growing season. The monitoring included stream, wetland, littoral shelf and upland buffer habitat areas. The stream monitoring consists of: • a series of visual check points where formal photostation monuments have been installed. The locations of the formal photostations are shown on Figure 3, • a survey of the restored stream's longitudinal profile, noting elevations of stream bed, and water surface at the start and ending of each constructed riffle zone, each meander pool, and for all other grade control rock structures (e.g. sills and cross vanes). This data is compared to the as built report longitudinal profile, and earlier monitoring results in Figure 5 found in the Appendix. • a survey of the formal monitoring cross sections noting morphologic breaks in slope, top and toe of left and right stream banks, and water depth at thalweg locations. Like the longitudinal profile the year 5 data is compared to the as built and earlier monitoring results in Figure 6 found in the appendix. • Other visual observations as noted in a traverse of the stream bed from lower to upper tie in points. Vegetation monitoring for wetlands, uplands and littoral shelf plant communities is provided by formal representative transects crossing a representative sample of each habitat community. The locations of the plant community monitoring transects are shown on Figure 5. Photographs from along the transect are included in photojournal found in the Appendix [Photos 9-17] and the numerical plant monitoring data is provided in the last Table of the Appendix. Stream Elements: The implemented stream monitoring for this stream restoration was as follows. Preparation and submittal of as -built document providing constructed pattern, dimension and profile sheets that also show the location of all in stream structures, and recommended photo stations. Photo stations were set up for the up and down stream tie in points, and at selective meander bends and a photo is be provided looking both up and down stream at each station. Field checks with archiving of photo documentation of creek conditions during first year of flow following completion of planting program after each significant storm (0.5 inches of rainfall), or alternatively on a bi-monthly schedule. Surveys of longitudinal profile and three representative cross sections for each of five years following completion of restoration activities along with photographs from each of the established photo stations. Year 5 Stream Morphologic Results: The longitudinal profile surveyed in the Year 5 monitoring cycle shows very good agreement with the 2014 and earlier results. Overall meander pools and riffles have maintained remarkable vertical and horizontal stability for approximately 5-6 years. Earlier reported p. 6 challenges with vegetation encroachment into the channel sandbars from about station 290-360', triggering temporary medial sand bar formation and channel aggradation have been eliminated by over story shading out of the herbaceous `hemp vine' [as predicted in the earlier monitoring reports] by woody bank vegetation. The surveys of the cross sections likewise show little significant change except perhaps in cross section 3 where the outer bank of the meander bend has been steepened and the thalweg perhaps migrated by a few centimeters. This is regarded as a natural evolutionary aspect of the restored stream and the low, approximately 1-3 cm/yr, migration of the thalweg, and steepening of the slope of the outer bank is within the range of expected `equilibrium' adjustments that this restored reach may experience over time. The reach was constructed with sufficient buffer areas to both sides to accommodate these minor adaptations. At this, the fifth year of monitoring, there are no signs of instability in the channel's fluvial morphology that would warrant additional monitoring or any remedial actions. The well vegetated banks with deeply rooted woody vegetation has set a sound foundation for the channel to stay in `equilibrium' with bankful events for the foreseeable future. Pond Littoral Habitat Monitoring: The littoral zones have been reasonably established on site over the 5 years since completion of grading. The water levels have stabilized and now maintain their full pool stages throughout the year. As noted in the prior year's report, the littoral habitat around these two small ponds represent `value-added' ecological attributes over the primary stream and wetlands restoration and preservation elements of this site. Formal numerical monitoring for these littoral areas of the ponds was considered essential as over all the ponds were not strictly a restoration goal, but a value-added asset for the natural area. The plants installed following completion of construction were intended as a starting population that would allow the pond littoral zones to adapt to site hydrology over time. These ponds have an established aquatic plant community that should not require additional stock to propagate as the ecosystem dictates. Wetland Monitoring: As was the case years 3 and 4 only visual inspections of wetland hydrology were made during year 5, as up to a 0.5 of surface waters noted to present into late May and early summer for the wetlands adjacent to the lower and upper ponds. These surface waters made the use of the subsurface pressure transducers irrational, as they were intalled with the appropriate protocol sealing them from surface waters. Data from them would not have reflected the surface ponding, thus producing misleading information. Once surface waters were noted to prevail into early summer they were eliminated. The presence of these surface waters into late May is sufficient to meet NC seasonal hydrologic conditions for jurisdictional wetlands. The monitoring of wetland plant communities (Piedmont Swamp Forest of Figure 5) is also part of the overall vegetation community monitoring and the results are presented in tabular form in the Appendix. At the point all wetlands on site prior to the restoration work have remained stable and meet both vegetation and hydrologic wetland criteria. p. 7 Section 4. Closing Summary Figure 7 is a mosaic of orthometric aerial photos shown at the same scale encompassing the site. The mosaic shows how the site has evolved over the last 18 years. In 1998 the Twin Lakes business park had established irrigation pumps that drew water out of the pre-existing —2 acre lake and fed the Park's commercial irrigation system. In 2003-5 this lake had to be drained for removal of the dam in order for the State of North Carolina to widen US Hwy. 21 in association with the construction of the Interstate's 77 and 285 interchange. As part of this effort DOT installed approximately 120' of rip rap lined ditch across the lower portions of the pond to bring water to a new culvert that was placed under the widened US Hwy. 21. From 2003 to 2010 this area was left as an abandoned bottomland with some of the poorly drained areas slowing converting to wetlands. In 2010 the NW27 permit was issued to restore approximately 440' linear feet of a 1St to 2nd order stream across the original valley floor that had been flooded by the lake as well as to preserve and enhance the evolving wetlands that had become established within poorly drained areas of the former lake bottom. In association with these wetlands and stream restoration elements two smaller ponds were also established in areas of the old pond bottom that were not occupied by wetlands. The grading for the restoration was completed in the fall of 2010, and the plantings for the stream, uplands, and wetlands were completed prior to summer of 2011. The as built report was submitted in June of 2011. Thus, this 2016 growing season brings the project to the end of its 5 year monitoring period. Subsequent to the submission of the monitoring in 2013 (year 2) the Twin Lakes Business Park had to dissolved it's property owners' association due to changes in NC statutes and the inclusion of a `sunset' clause in the original POA's charter. The dissolution of the ownership entity led to the transfer of ownership of the property to a newly incorporated entity: Sustainable Resources Properties, LLC. During dissolution and deed transfer [which took approximately 15 months] the project transitioned from its 3rd to 4th monitoring years and an thus an integrated 3rd & 4th year report was filed in the 4 the quarter of 2015. This final, 5th year monitoring report, includes the final 5th year of documented monitoring data acquired on behalf of the new owners, during July and August of the 2016. to: There were two outstanding matters noted in the last, 2015 report. These were the need continue to watch the section of the stream that has show the potential for aggradation from stations 290-360' due to the encroachment of `hempvine' into the channel and development of some medial sandbars cause the profile and cross section #3 to reveal some channel aggradation. That issue is now longer a concern as woody vegetation has become dominant in this area, and channel profile and cross sections do not reveal any signs of continued aggradation. The channel should now be able to evolve in equilibrium with it's contributing watershed gradually over time. 2. The second issue, was that development [clearing and grubbing] of the adjacent land to the north of the lower end of the restoration site (just north of the lower Pond] had been releasing significant amounts of sediment into a small intermittent channel that p. 8 feeds into the lower Pond from this northern contributing catchment area. The amount of sediment is still elevated over what was released when the area was forested, but has not resulted in significant (measurable) siltation within the buffer wetlands around the lake or the littoral fringe of the pond itself. While accumulation of sediment in this pond will show increased accumulations over time, there are not surface accumulations over wetland soils that are measurable. Turbidity clouds remain after storms within this pond, but do not appear to have resulted in significant habitat degradation at this time. Thus these two prior concerns have been resolved, and no longer threaten the long term success of this restoration. In conclusion the site's preserved wetlands, restored stream reach, and pond littoral zones have met success criteria for this the 5`" and final year of monitoring. A letter closing out the permit is attached in the appendix.
