QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 1) Can you provide more information on what counts and what does not mount towards page limits. Specifically,do the following items count towards the page limit? Cover sheet,Table of Contents Sheet. Dividers and Section Tab Sheets, Execution Sheet(Page 1 in RFP), Accordions, Cover Letter, Executive Summary, Financial Statement,Quality Control Section, Option Contacts, Steam Forms,Stream Data(XS's, etc.), Mock Scoring Sheet Corporate Background and Experience Info(Org Charts, Pmject Descriptions,etc.), Project Organizamin Info(Resuni etc.),Attachment D,Attachment E, Attachment F Everything above will count toward the 100 pages except Execution Sheet, Addendums. Financial Statement(Attachment EL Option Contracts, Stream Forms. Mock Scoring Sheet, Attachment D and Attachment F. 2) Page 7—Project Development;Second bullet refers to a scaring advantage for bridges or solvents with fencing but the scoring sheet does not seem to provide a way for the review team to reward extra points for these types of crossings. Please explain. Section 5.0,quest R3 discusses crossings and utility barriers and constraints. 3) Page 7-Regarding Option Agreements,can a provider provide a one-page,retarded memorandum that references a contact as opposed to providing the entire contract in the RFP? This will save pages and still be legally binding. No, if the vendor is using options to secure the property, the entire option agreement must be included. 4) Page 13 Section 3.1 Special Conditions; If the vendor provides a price for riparian wetlands,will they be responsible for developing those credits(at risk)from the start of the stream project or will DMS contract with the provider at a later data to develop the credits at the provided price? DMS may approach the vendor at any time during the contract period to request amending the contract for wetland credit delivery. Keep in mind that this Is only optional for the vendor. 5) Attachment O; DMS is soliciting for 45,000 warm stream credits. Is the thermal regime the only reason that the majority of the Ararat River and Upper Yadkin LW P has been excluded from the search area7 If so, would DMS consider out-of-kind(cool for warm)credits in all of the other UWP 14 digit HUC5 that comprise the AR&UY LW P7 There hes been precedent for the IRT accepting thermal out-of-kind mitigation in certain mass. This would Increase inventory significantly. No,the request Is for'Warm stream credits. 6) The 4-29-15 Version of the CE Template does not appear to be posted on the DMS website yet. See the Templates hyperlink in this addendum. 7) May a Vendor submit a proposal in the name of a whollyowned,specific purpose entity versus the parent operating company if the vendor signed Into the mandatory pre-proposal meeting under the name of the parent company? If me answer is yes, would the submitting entity still get the qualifications of the parent operating company,le experience,financial vitality,etc...? The Vendor must subm It a a y proposal uad or the entity name signed in at tha Pre-Proposal meeting 8) Section 2.3; Page 5; Under Item N2,the RFP states, "Submit your technical proposal in a sealed package. Clearly mark each package with the following information:(1)Sealed Cost Proposal..'Should this read'(1)Sealed Technical Proposal? hould be marked as Sealed Technical Proposal' RFP 16-006706 Addendum No.1 Page 2 of 5 9) Section 2.3: Page 5; Under item 44,the RFP states, 'Submit one(1)electronic copy of your proposal on a separate readronly CD's, DVD's or gash drive."Please clarify if this includes both the technical proposal and cast proposal,or just the technical proposal. Only the technical proposal 10) Section 2.6; Page 9:The provided"DMS Full Delivery Landowner Authorization Form"on the DMS website references the"NCEEP"in the header.Please confirm that this the latest and greatest"DMS"file or whether you would prefer the vendor to change that Header to DMS. We understand that this form is not to be signed until after contract. Use the form pro vid ad until DMS publishes a new one. 11) Section 2.4; Page 8;Since the proposals are required to be submitted in a 3-ring binder,would you considering allowing the"Title Page to be presented as the first item(inserted into the clear binder cover),rather than under Its own tab after the"Cover LetterT No, it needs to be in the document as stated. 12) Section 3.3; Page 16; Is there a specific project tyle where DMS would like five years of monitoring to be proposed? Can you give more information on the five versus seven years of monitoring that is new for this RFP? No, "Vendors will determine the appropriate Payment Schedule based on their mitigation types, regulatory rules and guidance" 13) Section 2.4: Page 8; Please clarify whether or not the Execution Page and Attachments count towards the max page limit for the Technical Proposal. They do not count toward the page limit. 14) Section 2]; Page 12;Specifically locking at the definition of-Site,"do multiple,contiguous parcels automatically qualify as they have in the Past or could DMS still reject it as a site if DMS, in its sole discretion does not agree with the hydrologic or ecologic connectivity? For example,If a provider had an option on four contiguous parcels but the creeks did not all flow together within the project area,would this automatically be considered a site or do we need to submit them as separate sites or options to be sure? Our suggestion would be to continue to utilize the old definition of a site(contiguous parcels) but that a site could also be considered with non-contiguous parcels if the resources have hydrologic or swings:continuity in DMS's sole discretion. As the definition states, they must have functional connectivity, it is up to the Vendor to determine that. 15) Section 3.1;Page 13;The RFP states,'On the Cost Proposal form(Attachment C), there Is a line for an optional riparian wetland credit cost." In additional to the cost,does DMS prefer us to list the amount of credits? OMS is only asking far the credit cost if an amend in ant would be considered In the future. DMS does not want anything further. 16)Section 3.3:Page 1617; If successful credit delivery occurs years 1-6,will the final 100A payment be released at year 7 of monitoring or after successful closeout and final credit release? If the site has delivered all contracted credits up to this paint and the final monitoring report meets all of the success criteria, payment will be released. Keep in mind that If credits are reduced before or during closeout.the contracted vendor will need to reimburse the State for the contracted cost of the lost credits. 17) Section 5.1; Page 19;Please confirm that the Vendors submitting proposals can communicate about their sites with members of DMS during the site visit phase of the evaluation period. Communication is open during the site visits but only involving information submitted in the technical proposal and only with the project review team. RFP 16-006706 Addendum No.1 Page 3 of 5 18) Section 6.1; Page 22/Attachment E; Page 34;The RFP states that Attachment E'must be signed by an individual authorized to speak for the Vendor.'Could this be the Vendor's CPA, Bonding Company,or Company President? It must be the Vendor's President or CEO that signs this document. 19)Attachment H;Page 4; Item#6 seams to be Incomplete.It reads,'For reaches proposed for restoration/enhancement,what is the percent of project length actively subject to...7 Please clarity-subject to what?

CLARIFICATIONS REQUESTED REQUEST61: Addendum 1 —Item 18. This says that only a president or CEO can sign Exhibit E? Can you explain why that is? Does that apply to all other signature documents(cost proposal, execution page,addendums etc.)? This requirement provides unnecessary burden to the Providers-especially to larger firms that have internal signature authority policies in place for these types of commitments. For example at KCI, Vice Presidents and Discipline Heads are given signature authority to sign all commitments under$5 million,the President would be required to sign commitments above that level. Please clarify. ANSWER: Addendum 1. Item 18-We are asking for the Financial state or the entire company. It must be signed by President or CEO, REQUESTIl2: Addendum 2-Item 2. The answer to this questions says that financial information cannot be redacted from the option contract to protect the landowner. Leaving financial information In the technical proposal appears to be in direct conflict with Section 5.2 (Proposal Opening)which states that"No Cost information shall be contained in the technical proposal and no technical information should be contained in the cost proposal".

RFP 16.006706 Addendum No.3 Page 2 of 2 PART D- Executive Summary Wildlands Engineering, Inc. (Wildlands) proposes 12,901 Stream Mitigation Units (SMUs),for the Yadkin River Basin Cataloging Unit 03040101 at the Lone Hickory Mitigation Site (Site) in Yadkin County, NC. Wildlands has recorded options to acquire fee simple title to 224 acres and will place a conservation easement on 80.9 acres on the Site.The project will involve the restoration and preservation of seven unnamed tributaries to South Deep Creek (UT1, UT1A, UT113, UT2, UT2A, UT2C, and UT3). As detailed in Part G of this proposal,the proposed project will not only result in the creation of mitigation units, but will also provide ecological improvement to the project streams through the restoration of aquatic and terrestrial (riparian) habitats, and re-establishment of natural stream bedform. _ The project will also decrease nutrient and sediment loadst from the watershed by restoring native riparian buffers. �. Approximately 10.9 acres of wetlands can also be restored as part of this project. The specific evaluation criteria outlined in the Division of Mitigation's (DMS's) Request for Proposals will be met as summarized in the following section. ' The following is a summary of the enclosed proposal contents in the context of the Technical Proposal Evaluation Criteria presented in the RFP.The location of the supporting material within the Technical Proposal is also provided below. Our overall self-score is 160 points. EVALUATION CRITERIA 1. For stream mitigation projects,does the Technical Proposal adequately document the historical presence of stream(s)on the project site,and provide the drainage areas(acres)and provide accurate, process-based descriptions of all project stream reaches and tributaries? Yes,the historical presence of streams on the project site is documented by inclusion of historic aerial imagery in the Appendix, which shows these features.The drainage area for each stream reach is shown on Figure 4, Watershed Map and provided in Table G.2. Stream reach and tributary descriptions are provided in Part G, Section 2.2. SCORE: YES 2. Does the proposal adequately document the physical,chemical and/or biological impairments that currently exist on the project site? Yes,the impairments on the Site are documented in Part G, Section 2.2. SCORE: YES 3. Does DMS agree with the overall mitigation approach (proposed levels of intervention) presented? Yes, Wildlands has proposed Restoration in areas where the stream is incised and degrading from obvious historic agricultural manipulation or preservation where streams are in good condition.A short length of UT1 is intermittent and proposed for restoration in order to reconnect the stream to its valley bottom without use of Priority 2 restoration. UT2A and UT2C,which are also intermittent streams, are proposed for full restoration due to the level of agricultural manipulation through ditching and the complete lack of available habitat or bedform in the existing stream channels. SCORE: YES Lone Hickory Mitigation Site-PART D Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page D.1 4. Does DMS agree with the proposed credit structure(s)described in the proposal? Wildlands has used conservative estimates for credit ratios. Please see Part G,Table G.S. SCORE: YES 5. Does the proposed project avoid significant adverse impacts to existing wetlands and/or streams? Yes, Wildlands has identified a project approach and corridor that will allow the project to be designed without significant adverse impacts to streams and floodplain wetlands. Small, adjacent wetlands that were noted in the field along UT1 are subject to improved hydrologic connections due to the restoration of UTI SCORE: YES 6. Does the proposal adequately describe how the project will advance DMS watershed planning goals? Yes,the project goals listed in Part G,Table G.1 directly correlate to goals set forth in DMS watershed planning documentation such as the 2009 Upper Yadkin Pee Dee River Basin Restoration Priorities (RBRP). SCORE: YES 7. For any proposed Priority II restoration,are all the following elements included in the proposal OR is Priority II stream restoration limited to"tie-ins" (designed tributary confluences)? Yes, Priority II restoration is limited to upstream and downstream tie in points on UT1 and UT3 to South Deep Creek. No other Priority II is proposed on the Site. SCORE: YES Section 1: Watershed Module 1.1 For proposed projects located outside of an LWP—but within another targeted HUC(TLW)--to what extent does the project support the restoration goals? The proposed project addresses five of the seven CU-wide functional improvement objectives: 1) The proposed project will reduce sediment inputs. 2) The project will reduce nutrient inputs. 3) The project will restore degraded riparian buffers. 4) The project protects waters in a Water Supply Watershed. 5) The project will implement four agricultural BMPS at point sources for runoff from adjacent farm fields. SCORE: 10 1.2 For projects located within the Ararat LWP, does proposed project address stressors and sources as identified in Findings and Recommendations Summary? N/A. SCORE: 0 1.3 BONUS: Does the project design include one or more structural BMPS within or immediately upstream of the project easement such that nutrient and/or sediment inputs or hydraulic stresses from outside the project easement are more effectively addressed? Yes,the project includes four structural BMPS within the easement that will be designed to reduce nutrient and sediment inputs from outside of the project easement. SCORE: 15 Lone Hickory Mitigation Site-PART D Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page D.2 Section 2: Existing Conditions and Functional Uplift Module 2.1 BONUS: Project reach(es) are on or confluent to(directly discharge to) a 303d listed stream or waterbody? N/A. SCORE: 0 2.2 BONUS: Is the proposed project on WS-classified reach(es) upstream of a water supply intake or reservoir? Yes,the streams drain to South Deep Creek, which is classified as WS-III waters. The intake for the Town of Yadkinville water supply is less than one mile downstream from the Site. SCORE: 6 2.3 What is the proportion of significant, obvious incision (BHR >—1.5)for reaches identified for some level of channel modification? 71%of the streams proposed for some level of channel modification exhibit significant, obvious incision. Please see Figure 2. SCORE: 10 2.4 What is the proportion of active bank erosion for the existing condition of reaches proposed for channel modification? 42%of the streams proposed for channel modification exhibit active bank erosion.

She has been involved in the design of more than 123,000 LF of stream Lone Hickory Mitigation Site-PART E Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page E.6 restoration and enhancement work in NC.Additional information on Ms. Reinicker's experience is provided below in Section 7.0. 6.0 Project Approach The Wildlands Team takes a holistic, integrated approach to site restoration.The following text outlines some key aspects of our multi-disciplinary project approach. Site-specific project plans are further described in Part G of this proposal. 6.1 Site Selection _...,..:. --. . The Wildlands Team carefully selects project sites where ecological restoration can be maximized. Our sites are reviewed by our environmental scientists and engineers during the selection process to ensure that ecological uplift can be achieved within regulatory parameters related to floodplain management, protected species, and existing wetland resources. We consult with the existing landowners to explain the restoration process and the conservation t ` easement conditions. We review the site with our contractor to identify potential construction challenges and opportunities. 6.2 Property Owner Coordination Property owner coordination begins during the site selection stage and continues throughout the project. We meet with families to understand the existing and future land use plans for the site. We work to fully explain the restoration process and review site plans at the conceptual design stage and final design stage with the property owners to make sure that their concerns are addressed. Our project manager is the point of contact throughout the project so that the property owners always know who can answer any questions that may arise. 6.3 Contractor Coordination Wildlands draws on our contractor's construction expertise early in the project planning phase. We consult with our contractor so that the project can be designed and constructed in an efficient and cost- effective manner. We work to identify on-site materials that are native to the existing ecosystem and that should be incorporated into the restoration project to best mimic natural systems for the site locale. For example, cobble material embedded in excavated material on mountain stream sites can be sorted and used for riffle construction. We also know that coordination and flexibility during construction is the key to a successful restoration site. 6.4 Site Assessment Numerous methods of assessment are used to quantify and qualify the site and upstream watershed's stability, nutrient loads, } sediment transport, hydrologic and hydraulic properties, plant and animal habitat, ecology, soil conditions and functional uplift potential. Our assessment is carried out by surveyors trained in natural channel assessment and by field scientists and engineers trained in stream and wetland assessment and design who know what characteristics to look for that will aid in design. Wildlands looks for predictors of future stability problems, such as upstream development and concentrated overland flow paths. Lone Hickory Mitigation Site-PART E Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page E.7 6.5 Permitting A project's schedule can be completely disrupted if the permitting for the project is not performed correctly.The Wildlands Team understands the critical steps necessary for acquiring these permits in a timely and efficient manner. Methods used to ensure a rapid permitting process include on-site meetings with the various permitting agency representatives prior to design, as well as staying up-to- date on the regulations associated with ecosystem restoration.These steps allow for the submittal of a thorough and accurate permitting application for our projects. 6.6 Site Design Once the existing conditions are documented and evaluated,the preferred alternative selected, and base-mapping developed, a design discharge range is selected based on the project goals. Natural channel design parameters will be developed based on reference reach data, hydraulic modeling, and sediment transport assessment. Wildlands has five CFMs on staff who can evaluate design options to optimize floodplain function and minimize off-site adverse flood elevation impacts. During the preliminary design the plan view channel location is set, cross-sections for riffles and pools are designed, and in-stream habitat and grade control structures are located. General grading limits, details, and easement locations are included at this stage. Property owner input and contractor coordination help to assure that the proposed design meets the multi-faceted design goals. 6.7 Construction .•a �� f":� The Wildlands Team is familiar with the policies, procedures, and practices necessary to construct natural channel design P and wetland restoration projects. Wildlands has provided construction administration and observation services for over 28 miles of stream work and 152 acres of wetland work. 6.8 Monitoring Monitoring is an important component to any stream restoration or enhancement work.The Wildlands Team has experience in both developing monitoring plans for restoration projects and in implementing those plans. Our monitoring plan experience includes as-built surveys and determining whether the project has met its success criteria after the required time period. 7.0 Key Personnel Resumes (Prime and Sub) This section provides resumes for the Wildlands project manager and the managing staff for our survey subcontractor on this project.An additional description of the Wildlands project manager's abilities is provided in Section 5.0.

Page F.12 Part G -Technical Approach The Lone Hickory Mitigation Site (Site) is located in Yadkin County approximately 3.5 miles south of the town of Yadkinville and approximately 24 miles west of the city of Winston-Salem, NC(Figure 1).The project involves the restoration and preservation of project streams, optional wetland development, and the creation of best management practices(BMPs)to treat adjacent agricultural runoff.The project is located within the DMS targeted watershed for the Yadkin River Basin Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03040101130020 and NC Division of Water Resources (DWR) Subbasin 03-07-02 and is being submitted for mitigation credit in the Yadkin River Basin HUC 03040101. The proposed Site contains tributaries to South Deep Creek. South Deep Creek classifies as supporting for aquatic life near the Site; however, the 2008 DWR Yadkin Pee Dee River Basin Plan noted that approximately 3.3 miles downstream from the Site, South Deep Creek was impaired for aquatic life due to turbidity. This section of South Deep Creek was included on the 2014 North Carolina Water Quality Assessment-for 305(b) lists as exceeding criteria for fish tissue mercury and turbidity.The 2008 DWR Report noted the importance of stream restoration and best management practices in the watershed to address the observed stressors.The 2009 Upper Yadkin Pee Dee River Basin Restoration Priorities (RBRP) also outlined general goals of restoration of water quality and aquatic habitat on impaired streams in the watershed, and implementation of agricultural BMPs to limit sediment and nutrient input from active farming operations. Less than a mile downstream from the Site,where of South Deep Creek crosses underneath SR 601, the Town of Yadkinville has a water plant with a water NOintake on South Deep Creek. NC DWR classifies South w Deep Creek as a critical area here.The Site is within the water supply watershed to this facility. Jy The Upper Yadkin River basin is also discussed in the 2005 North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission's K, (NCWRC) Wildlife Action Plan (WAP). In the report, this watershed was noted as a priority watershed for freshwater conservation. Restoration of the Site will directly and indirectly address stressors identified in the RBRP,the DWR Basinwide Plan and the NCWRC WAP by creating stable stream banks, reconnecting incised streams to floodplains, restoring a forest to agriculturally maintained buffer areas, installing BMPs to treat areas of concentrated agricultural inputs, and restoring and preserving existing forested buffers in amounts twice of that required.These actions will reduce nutrient and sediment inputs to project streams, and ultimately to South Deep Creek. Approximately 80.9 acres of land will be placed under permanent conservation easement to protect the Site in perpetuity. Sources: NC Division of Mitigation Services.2009.

Seven unnamed tributaries to South Deep Creek(UTI, UT1A, UT1B, UT2, UT2A, UT2C, and UT3) are present on the Site. On January 7, 2016, UT1, UT1A, UT113, UT2, and UT3 were identified as Lone Hickory Mitigation Site-PART G Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page G.2 perennial streams while UT2A and UT2C were identified as intermittent.A north to south oriented ridge divides the Site; however, the Site is ecologically and hydrologically connected and will be contained on a single parcel owned by Wildlands Engineering. For discussion purposes,the eastern half of the Site is referred to as the East Side and the western half is referred to as the West Side. UT1, UT1A, and UT113 drain the East Side, while UT2, UT2A, UT2C, and UT3 drain the West Side (Figure 2). All Site tributaries drain to a 1,000-foot section of South Deep Creek. Details about the existing streams and associated reaches are provided in Section 2.2 below. East Side Site Conditions and Historic Presence of y Streams Near the southern project boundary, UT1 originates " and becomes jurisdictional at a headcut in an ephemeral stream within a narrow valley.The stream runs through two sediment-filled ponds with breaching dams before entering the lower valley. The valley bottom gradually widens downstream as it approaches South Deep Creek, where the valley bottom is a broad, alluvial floodplain. Land use on • ' the East Side is characterized by mix of active row crops on the upper valley slopes and in the broad valley bottom, with woodlands on the moderate to steep valley hillslopes, in the narrower valley bottoms, and near the confluence with South Deep Creek. UT1 features a series of former inline impoundments in the upper reaches of the valley, which contain old pond bed sediments and are depicted on Figure 2. Based on a review of historical surveys and aerials (presented in the Appendix),the onsite streams have been manipulated through ditching, impoundments, and land use changes since 1963. In 1963 one large inline impoundment (Pond 1) is visible on UTI and one impoundment is visible in drainage to UT1 (Pond 2). By 1982, an additional inline impoundment (Pond 3) appears immediately upstream from Pond 1 and farm roads are visible over the impoundment dams. Evidence of clearing within the UT1 valley is apparent in this aerial. In the 1993 aerial, Pond 1 appears drained with a large downstream headcut progressing through a field. Also at this time, Pond 3 appears greatly reduced in size, and a fourth impoundment (Pond 4) is visible upstream from Pond 2. No evidence of Pond 4 remained during a field walk on Jan 6, 2016, and this pond is not visible in 2006 in aerial imagery. Legacy sediments remain in place at the site of Ponds 1, 2, and 3. UT1 had a forested buffer surrounded by cultivated fields prior to 1982. In the 1982 aerial,the floodplain of UT1 is cleared for cultivation, and the headwaters of UT1 are completely deforested above Pond 1. In 2007,the eastern farm field and hillslopes surrounding Pond 3 were converted to loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) plantation.An active dairy farm operated on the southernmost farm field above UT1 from 1950 until 1994. Buildings associated with the dairy were demolished a few years after the dairy closed and are not visible on the 2005 aerial. Throughout the East Side,the floodplains include native hardwood species such as red maple (Acer rubrum), sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), and tulip poplar(Liriodendron tulipifera). The slopes surrounding a collapsed boulder dam contains several species of oak trees including swamp chestnut oak(Quercus michauxii), northern red oak (Quercus rubra), white oak (Quercus alba), and water oak (Quercus nigra). Other mature hardwoods along UT1 include black willow(Salix nigra),American beech (Fagus grandifolia), and umbrella magnolia (Magnolia tripetala).The understory has little shrubby growth but does include species such as mountain laurel (Kalmia latifolia), American hop-hornbeam (Ostrya virginiana), and young sassafras (Sassafras albidum).The ground cover contains several Lone Hickory Mitigation Site-PART G Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page G.3 herbaceous species, including various ferns and moss populations on rock crops and stream banks, along with a small patch of horsetail (Equisetum sp.)further downstream. There are areas of invasive species present throughout, which include a population of the princess tree (Paulownia tomentosa), Chinese privet(Ligustrum sinense),thick Japanese stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum), and Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica). A large, steeply sloping farm field along the lower ridge that divides the East and West Sides was deforested at some point between 1963 and the mid-1980s. West Side Site Conditions and Historic Presence of Streams The West Side is characterized by the broad, gently sloping floodplain of South Deep Creek. The South Deep Creek floodplain here is actively row cropped, and the valley walls around the West Side are primarily forested. Several species of pine are seen in these wooded areas, such as loblolly and pitch (Pinus rigia), along with the same hardwood species observed along UT1.The streams on this side of the West Side—Streams ditched through broad Site are ditched through the South Deep Creek floodplain Creek floodplain.The herbaceous plants along the ditches are typical wildflowers and weeds seen in open pastures and fields such as goldenrod (Salidago sp.), ironweed (Vernonia sp.), henbit deadnettle (Lamium amplexicaule), and creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens). UT2, UT2A, and UT2C are have been ditched and re-routed several times, as evidenced by the series of aerial images presented in the Appendix. UT2C in particular followed a flow path parallel to UT2 in 1963, but was re-routed and shortened in length by the 1982 aerial. Between 1982 and 1993, the series of hillside ditches that carries UT2C to its current location along the hillside ditch appear to be installed. Ditching and re-routing of UT3, a primary drainage feature on the West Side, began prior to 1957 according to a historical survey, provided in the Appendix.The historical survey shows UT3 connecting straight out to South Deep Creek; however, at least three parallel farm ditches connected the UT3 hydrology through UT2 in the 1963 aerial.The main connection between UT3 and UT2 flowed through what is now Ditch 1.This connection was removed sometime between 1998 and 2005. Currently, all surface water flow to UT3 is routed along the western parcel boundary where it drains directly to South Deep Creek.John Kessler, a landowner along UT3, indicated that his wife's family has owned the land adjacent to this field for generations, and that UT3 once ran across the open floodplain of South Deep Creek. Mr. Kessler said that the farmer excavated a ditch long the property boundary and routed UT3 into it as part of the agricultural management of the parcel (J. Kessler, personal communication, December 29, 2015). t!6,1 Lone Hickory Mitigation Site-PART G Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page GA 2.2 Existing Conditions-Streams UT1 to South Deep Creek—Reach 1 The origin of UT1 flow occurs on the southeastern } corner of the project area and flows roughly south ,i to north from a headcut above Pond 3.A 20 to 50 foot wide forested buffer exists on both stream banks, with row crops and pine plantation beyond. For the first 130 feet within the proposed conservation easement the stream is classified as _ intermittent. UT1 here is steep, narrow and deeply ,.• may[ `' 4, incised into clay subsoil with very little pattern - ' development and several small active headcuts. ==: UTI transitions to a perennial channel upstream of Pond 3. Here, the stream slope is greatly reduced Incised,eroding UT1 Reach 1 as UTI flows through wetlands which have developed in the sediment deposition behind the old pond embankment.The bed and banks are weakly defined here as the stream meanders throughold pond bed.A deeply incsied, ephemeral drainage ditch carrying a heavy sediment load from the farm fields enters from the left bank.The weakly defined bed and banks continue until the stream drops over an active headcut. Below this headcut, UTI is deeply incised, with steep banks, mass wasting, and moderate bank erosion on alternating banks. UT1 is characterized here by moderate pattern and coarse gravels. A cross section (XS1)was collected along this reach of UTI to classify the channel and is presented in the Appendix. Here, UT1 most closely classifies as an y -_ incised unstable Rosgen G-type stream with a width-to-depth ratio of 8.6, an entrenchment ratio _ 1.3, and a bank height ratio of 4.5.A pavement ` pebble count was also conducted to classify the riffle material of UTI in this location, and a subpavement sample was collected for laboratory analysis.The median particle size of the riffle pavement is coarse gravel.This reach continues for fir. approximately 300 feet until reaching an approximately 30-foot tall embankment undergoing active breaching through mass wasting with series of small headcuts leading to a steep boulder cascade.This embankment is clearly visible on the 1993 historical aerial as an old farm road. Beyond the boulder cascade, the stream enters the another wetland within a pond bed from an old impoundment (Pond 1). Lone Hickory Mitigation Site-PART G Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page G.5 Within the old pond bed, UT1 has weakly defined i� bed and banks, and at the time of evaluation was braided with several concurrent flowpaths. Flow continues for 250 feet through the old pond bed before the weakly defined channel begins to follow a ditch. Several headcuts occur along this ditch and the stream becomes incised.This slightly meandering, incised section continues for 150 feet until reaching another breaching dam with a massive active headcut of about an eight-foot drop. Banks around the base of this headcut are 10-20 feet above the streambed, and are mass-wasting with several visible root masses undermined by erosion. The area of mass wasting subsides within 60 feet, as the stream takes a sharp turn to the east, and the hillslope gradually comes down to meet the new elevation of the streambed.The breaching dams and active headcuts are creating a large sediment input and threaten to erode through the old pond sediments. UT1 to South Deep Creek—Reach 2 µ. UT1 Reach 2 begins where UTI takes a sharp turn 4 back to the north approximately 100 feet below the headcut at Pond 1, and is confined against the right valley wall.At this point the stream reaches a �.�,_ confluence with a small linear wetland in a narrow valley.A drainage pipe emanating from Pond 1 contributes to the hydrology of this wetland which could likely be a remnant channel of UT1 prior to its impoundment. A series of bedrock outrcops alsoconfined begin at this point, and continues to influence the cleared for row cropsop of bank streambed throughout the rest of the project. Approximately 100 feet donwstream from the sharp turn, the valley bottom is cleared for row crops from the left valley toe all the way up to the left top of bank at the right valley toe. Moderate to mild bank erosion occurs throughout this length of UTI due to the confinement of the channel and the lack of stabilizing vegetation.The reach is predomoinately incised, but regains connection through one low bank in areas where bedrock outcrops are present in the channel or in isolated areas where bankfull benches have developed within the incised channel. Due to confinement against the right valley wall, the stream has very little pattern. Long riffles and short, shallow pools dominate the streambed as a result of the lack of pattern. Due to the steepess of the right valley wall, mass wasting is present in areas where the stream has eroded into it.According to family members,their grandfather had this channel ditched along the valley wall to open up the field for farming. Two perennial tributaries (UT1A and UT1B)join UT1 along Reach 2. A cross section (XS2)was collected along UTI Reach 2 to classify the channel, and is presented in the Appendix. Here, UT1 most closely classifies as an incised, unstable Rosgen F-type stream, with a width-to-depth ratio of 14.5, an entrenchment ratio of 1.1, and a bank height ratio of 1.8.

Page G.6 !� 4. .70 10 P erodingUT1 Reach 3—confined and cropsvalley wall,cleared for row of bank confluence UT1 to South Deep Creek—Reach 3 UT1 takes a slight turn to the north west at a ford crossing, at which point the left bank of the channel is confined against the left valley wall.The left bank has a variable width forested buffer of at least 100 feet, beyond which is cultivated fields.The right bank of the channel is at the edge of a field cleared for cultivation. Active bank erosion and incision dominate this reach with occasional areas of mass wasting. A cross section (XS3) was collected along this reach of UT1 to classify the channel, and is presented in the Appendix. Here, UTI most closely classifies as an incised, unstable Rosgen F-type stream,with a width-to-depth ratio of 12.1 and entrenchment ratio 1.3, and a bank height ratio of 3.9.A pavement pebble count was also conducted to classify the riffle material of UT1.The median particle size of the riffle pavement is very coarse gravel. Downstream from XS3 an incised and eroding ditch draining enters UT1 from the east, accompanied by a tile drain pipe.This reach continues until a large bedrock outcrop, where the stream regains stability. UT1 to South Deep Creek—Reach 4 UT1 to South Deep Creek Reach 4 begins where large bedrock outcrops begin to dominate the stream bed.This reach has a stable meander pattern with little active erosion. A narrow, approximately 10-foot wide forested buffer begins on the right bank until the channel turns further north-west into a mature bottomland forest. UT1A and UT113 to South Deep Creek UT1A and UTIB both originate outside the project limits, and enter the Site from the east. Both streams have well-established forested buffer on both banks and have stable riffle-pool morphology with low bank heights.The vegetation community is similar to the wooded community along UT1 Reach 2. A substantial portion of the UT1A watershed adjacent to the Site was clear-cut in 2009. z , UT2 to South Deep Creek ••• W.- UT2 to South Deep Creek originates outside the project limits flowing through a moderately mature forest.The stream enters the project along a farm road on the West Side of the site. UT2 flows north for approximately 500 feet along the farm road until entering a metal culvert as the road turns to the west. Upstream of the culvert, UT2 is incised with Lone Hickory Mitigation Site-PART G Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page G.7 active bank erosion, and is pinched between the - valley wall on the left bank and the road on the right F` bank. Here,vegetation consisted of mature hardwood canopy species on the left bank including beech (Fagus grandifolia). Beyond the culvert, UT2 enters a broad flat floodplain and is ditched, deeply incised, and straightened until a confluence with _QW UT2A and a network of farm field ditches. UT2 continues straight before curving gradually to the northeast where it receives drainage from UT2C. UT2C carries a high fine sediment load, and there is UT2—upstream of culvert and large sediment input from UT2C.The channel continues along the straightened northeast trajectory until its confluence with South Deep Creek. UT2 drains a steeply sloping mostly forested watershed dominated by hardwoods, as well as gently sloping floodplain valley bottom farmland. Natural vegetation along the ditched portion of UT2 consists of rice cut grass (Leersia oryzoides), soft rush (Juncus effuses),various sedges (Carex spp.) and asters (Aster spp.), and occasional saplings of green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) along the streambank, with row crop cultivation beyond the top of bank on both sides. Two cross sections were collected on UT2 to classify the channel: one upstream of the culvert (XS8) and one downstream of the culvert (XS6).These sections are presented in the Appendix. A sediment sample was also collected at XS8 to classify the riffle material of UT2 in this location.Above the culvert, UT2 most closesly classifies as an incised, unstable Rosgen G-type stream, with a width-to-depth ratio of 9.9, an entrenchment ratio 1.5, and a bank height ratio of 3.4.The median particle size of the riffle _, pavement is very coarse gravel. Below the culvert, M UT2 is maintained as a V-ditch and has awidth-to- depth ratio of 0.4 (XS6). Sediment composition in ditched below culvert in South Deep's" this section of the stream consisted of fine silts from floodplainadjacent agricultural runoff. UT2A to South Deep Creek UT2A to South Deep Creek originates from a _ headcut below a failing concrete culvert. Above the • ,e , ` , ,, '' F xli r= culvert is an ephemeral channel draining a steeply sloping forested watershed dominated by = hardwoods. UT2A is ditched, deeply incised, and straightened.The channel takes a sharp right turn r as it reaches a confluence with Ditch 1, and enters a ' farm-ditch network. UT2A flows straight through the ditch network until its confluence with UT2. .. Natural vegetation along UT2A is similar to the ditched portion of UT2. Lone Hickory Mitigation Site-PART G Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page G.8 UT2C to South Deep Creek UT2C—ditched into hillside,carrying UT2C to South Deep Creek originates from a headcut below a agricultural sediment runoff series of incised hillslope ditches as depicted on Figure 2. These ditches carry flow across a hillslope and into UT2C in its current location, despite the fact that the natural fall of the valley leads directly down into the South Deep Creek floodplain. UT2C begins as a deeply incised channel with a series of active headcuts eroding down to saprolite.The stream has actively eroding bed and banks. UT2C loses bed and bank °F definition where the agricultural ditching ends and UT2C's flow is emptied out into the South Deep Creek floodplain just upstream of UT2. UT2C carries a tremendous volume of fine sediment generated from row crop runoff, and the majority of this sediment deposits here at UT2C's outlet. UT3 to South Deep Creek UT3 to South Deep Creek, a perennial stream, originates outside the project limits, enters the project at the southwestern corner of the Site, and runs directly UT3—maintained as a ditch along the property boundary in a manmade and maintained ditch to its confluence with South S Deep Creek. UT3 has riffle-pool morphology for the first several hundred feet within the project limits, but is incised with eroded stream banks. :.•:.' Approximately 500 feet into the project, UT3 becomes ditched and flows in a perfectly straight line before turning east to join South Deep Creek. - UT3 appears regularly maintained and lacks bedform. Row cropping is present up to the top of the right bank, and the left bank is actively mowed and maintained. A cross section (XS7)was collected along UT3 to classify the channel, and is presented in the Appendix. UT3 most closely classifies as an incised, unstable Rosgen G-type stream, with a width-to-depth ratio of 6.8, an entrenchment ratio of 1.3, and a bank height ratio of 1.5. 2.3 Existing Conditions—Potential Wetland Restoration Areas The Site includes up to 10.9 acres in the flat floodplain of South Deep Creek around UT2, UT2A, and UT3 where wetlands could potentially be developed, as shown in Figure 6.This area of the project has been farmed since at least 1963 according to aerial photographs (see Appendix) and consists of row crops with extensive ditching and channelized streams.This area has also been altered by field crowning and tillage. No existing wetlands were identified by Wildlands personnel within these lower fields during Site visits; however, no formal jurisdictional determination has been made. Based on soil borings performed by Wildlands, hydric soils were generally encountered between 12 to 24 inches in the potential wetland restoration areas.Small pockets of shallow hydric soils were observed within low areas of the fields that collect surface water. Soils in this area are mapped primarily as Codorus loam (see Figure 5), which is listed on the National Hydric Soil list. t!6,1 Lone Hickory Mitigation Site-PART G Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page G.9 2.4 Watershed Characterization The Site is located within the Targeted Local Watershed 03040101130020 and DWR Subbasin 03-07-02. All onsite tributaries drain to South Deep Creek, which is classified as Water Supply III (WS-III), and immediately downstream from the Site South Deep Creek is classified as a Critical Area (CA) by DWR. WS-III waters are in moderately developed areas and are used as sources of water supply for drinking, culinary, or food processing purposes.These waters are also protected for Class C uses including secondary recreation,wildlife,fish consumption, aquatic life including propagation, survival, and maintenance of biological integrity. CAs within one-half mile upstream and draining to a river intake or within one-half mile and draining to the normal pool elevation of water supply reservoirs are where risk associated with pollution is greater than from remaining portions of the watershed. The Site topography, as indicated on the Lone Hickory, NC USGS 7.5 minute topographic quadrangle, shows slightly sloped areas in the western portion of the Site with some moderate and steep contours along UTI (Figure 3). Drainage areas for the project reaches were delineated using 2-foot contour intervals derived from the North Carolina Floodplain Mapping Program's 2007 Light Detection and Ranging(LiDAR) data (Figure 4). Land uses draining to the project reaches are primarily managed row crops and forest with some residential area.The watershed areas and current land use are summarized in Table G.2, below.The impervious area within the project catchment at the downstream end was calculated to be 64 acres, or approximately 0.82%of the project catchment using USGS North Carolina StreamStats Version 3.0.

T=Threatened,BGPA=Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act 2.9 Floodplain Compliance The Site is represented on the Yadkin and Davie County Flood Insurance Rate Map Panel 5804. On the eastern side of the project,the downstream most 200 LF of UT1 lies within the Zone AE Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) mapped floodplain of South Deep Creek. On the western side of the project, the entire flat bottomland lies within the Zone AE SFHA mapped floodplain of South Deep Creek. Streams within the mapped bottomland include approximately 2,000 LF of UT2 and the full project length of the following streams: UT2A, UT2C, and UT3. Zone AE are areas defined by FEMA as, "subject to inundation by the 1-percent-annual-change flood event determined by detailed methods." Base Flood Elevations are established and a floodway has been delineated for South Deep Creek. Effective hydraulic modeling for South Deep Creek will be obtained from the NC Floodplain Mapping Program. A no-rise condition should be able to be accomplished and will be pursued. If a no-rise condition is not attainable,then a CLOMR will be prepared. Wildlands' Lone Hickory Mitigation Site-PART G Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page G.13 engineers have successfully navigated the CLOMR process for several similar full-delivery project sites. A LOMR will be completed if required after construction using as-built survey data. 2.10 Site Constraints and Access No crossings are proposed on the Site. No known utilities are present within the proposed conservation easement.All streams proposed for mitigation credit provide the required 50-foot minimum riparian buffer for Piedmont streams.The easement area will be marked per DMS Guidelines for Full Delivery Requirement for Completion of Survey for Conservation Easements (version 13,August 2013). The entire easement area can be accessed for construction, monitoring, and long-term stewardship from the Reavico Farms Road off Lone Hickory Road (Figure 2).Wildlands has executed option agreements to purchase the properties fee simple and will be recombined into one parcel before the easement is granted to the State, and will ensure the right of entry abilities of Wildlands, its contractors, and the future easement holder in any future land transactions. Wildlands has also secured option agreements for a temporary construction permit on John and Allison Kessler, Ruth Myers, and Danny and Sherrie Williams parcels along UT3, which will allow us to fill the ditch that UT3 currently flows through and reroute UT3 through the center of the valley within the proposed conservation easement. The proposed conservation easement leaves an approximate 6-acre landlocked area on the northeast portion of the Site, adjacent to UT1 Reach 3 and UTI Reach 4. Wildlands is in discussions with the adjacent landowner, who intends to purchase this area from Wildlands through a property line adjustment upon award of the contract. Otherwise, this area will be placed in the easement. There are five small air transport facilities known to exist within five miles of the Site: Lone Hickory Airport, Piney Ridge Airport, Unifi Heliport, Boonville Airport, and Welborn Farm Airport. Lone Hickory is a public, turf runway airport that averages 46 flights per month. Piney Ridge Airport is a private,turf runway airport with three aircraft based on the field.The Unifi Heliport is a private heliport with one helicopter based on the field.The Boonville Airport is a private,turf runway airport that averages 29 flights per week.Welborn Farm Airport is s private,turf runway airport that has two aircraft based on the field. 3.0 Project Development The Wildlands Team proposes to restore a high quality of ecological function to the streams and riparian corridors on the Site.The project design will be developed to avoid �V significant adverse impacts to existing wetlands, streams, or riparian buffers. Different management objectives are proposed for different portions of the project area.These activities are discussed below and summarized in Table G.6. conceptual Fi ure 6 illustrates the + I ' design for the Site. g 3.1 Stream Mitigation Approach } Currently,the streams throughout the Site are heavily impacted by agricultural activities. East Side The primary stressors to UT1 are sediment-laden impoundments, concentrated agricultural runoff inputs, confinement against the valley wall, active stream incision and head cutting, and lack of stabilizing streamside vegetation due to agriculture practices. Priority I stream restoration Wildlands' approach to restoring UT1 will focus on treating through existing trees Lone Hickory Mitigation Site-PART G Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page G.14 concentrated inputs of agricultural runoff, removing breaching dams and sediments behind them, reconnecting the stream to its floodplain and stabilizing active headcuts, returning the stream to the center of its valley, and replacing sinuosity that was likely removed during agricultural ditching. At the very upstream end of UT1,Wildlands plans to install a step pool stormwater conveyance (SPSC) BMP to treat concentrated agricultural runoff from the neighboring farm. Below this, at the headcut where UT1 becomes intermittent and begins to incise, UTI will be reconnected to the valley bottom using Priority I restoration. Full restoration is proposed instead of enhancement on this intermittent section to allow for reconnection of the system to the valley bottom without the use of Priority 2 restoration. UTI transitions to a perennial channel within 130 feet of its inception. UTI will be designed here as a Rosgen B-type stream, with energy dissipated vertically over steps. Another SPSC will be installed where concentrated agricultural inputs enter UT1 from the left floodplain. Moving downstream, as the valley widens, the stream will gain sinuosity and transition to a Rosgen C-type stream, with energy dissipated laterally through meander geometry. Small, adjacent wetlands identified in the field will be subject to improved hydrologic connections due to the raised streambed.At a concentrated flow point of an ephemeral ditch entering from the right floodplain, a SPSC BMP will be installed to treat the runoff and arrest the ditch erosion before entering UT1.The conservation easement on the East Side will protect 39.4 acres in perpetuity.The existing and planted buffer that will be protected in a conservation easement will average 246 feet in total width or approximately 100 feet from top of bank on either side of the stream, which is much wider than the required 50-foot buffer width from top of bank. The remnant embankments and impounded sediments of Ponds 1 and 3 will be removed and the drop through the embankments will be spread out and stabilized to prevent further incision. During design, Wildlands will most likely(based on consultation with DMS and the IRT) remove the sediments stored behind these embankments and will restore the natural valley bottom.Throughout the length of UTI, there are isolated areas of stability. During the design process, Wildlands will work to incorporate these existing stable stretches into the overall restoration design. Where UT1 becomes stable near its confluence with South Deep Creek,the approach will transition to preservation.A short length of Priority 11 restoration may be needed to transition the stream to the elevation of the existing channel. Where Priority II restoration is used, the floodplain bench grading will extend a minimum of 1.5 bankfull widths beyond the stream belt-width.The floodplain bench will be excavated to create a straight valley;the floodplain will not meander with the channel. Construction management techniques will be implemented during bench excavation to ensure that"A" horizon topsoil is harvested and stockpiled separately from the "B" horizon soil.The floodplain will be over- excavated and the "A" horizon topsoil will be replaced on the new floodplain. Additionally,the slopes between the outer edge of the floodplain grading up to the existing ground elevation will be a minimum of 5:1. UT1A and UT1B,which are stable,will be preserved in their current condition and connected to the newly constructed UT1. West Side The primary stressors to streams on the West Side are the extensive agricultural manipulation through ditching, deep incision, and the lack of bedform diversity. Wildlands' focus on this side of the Site is to create a holistic restoration of the bottomland that removes drainage ditches, restores the streams to their natural drainage patterns, and restores wetlands to the South Deep Creek floodplain. UT3's ditch will be completely filled in and the drainage will be restored using Priority I restoration through a broad floodplain to connect with UT2. UT2A will also be restored using Priority I restoration to connect with UT3 at a location upstream of the UT2 confluence.The series of farm ditches that currently divert UT2C's flow to the hillside ditch will be filled in, and UT2C will be restored to the center of its valley and meandered downstream using Priority I restoration to join UT2. Full restoration was selected instead of t!6,1 Lone Hickory Mitigation Site-PART G Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page G.15 enhancement on intermittent streams UT2A and UT2C due to the ditched condition of the existing streams and their complete lack of bedform diversity. In order to address the heavy fine sediment contribution coming from the agricultural drainage upstream of UT2C, a dry detention basin BMP will be installed upstream from UT2C's inception point. Additional buffer will be planted at the upper end of UT2C to stabilize ephemeral ditches and dissipate agricultural runoff. Below the UT2, UT2A, UT2C, and UT3 confluence,the proposed channel will be meandered through the right floodplain of South Deep Creek near the stream's approximate existing alignment in order to take advantage of the shading provided by the steep southern forested valley wall. Deep pools with woody structures protected from the afternoon sun will provide excellent refuge habitat for fish from South Deep Creek. A short length of Priority II restoration may be needed to transition UT3 down to the invert of South Deep Creek. Where Priority II restoration is used,the floodplain bench grading will extend a minimum of 1.5 bankfull widths beyond the stream belt-width.The floodplain bench will be excavated to create a straight valley;the floodplain will not meander with the channel. Construction management techniques will be implemented during bench excavation to ensure that"A" horizon topsoil is harvested and stockpiled separately from the "B" horizon soil.The floodplain will be over-excavated and the "A" horizon topsoil will be replaced on the new floodplain.Additionally,the slopes between the outer edge of the floodplain grading up to the existing ground elevation will be a minimum of 5:1. Restoration on both the East and West Side will not only improve Site streams, but will restore the habitat fragmentation caused by the current agricultural land use practices.The narrow, single sided buffer along UT1 will be expanded significantly, and the upstream, forested buffer on UT2 and UT3 will be reconnected with the forested buffer on South Deep Creek.The entire bottomland on the West Side of the Site, including the approximately 1,200 feet of riparian buffer along South Deep Creek,will be restored to the appropriate vegetative community.This improvement will not only expand the existing, actively used wildlife corridors, but also establish a riparian connector that will provide improved opportunities for shelter,food, breeding grounds, and nesting sites for multiple species. Overall,the easement on the West Side will protect 41.5 acres with buffers averaging over 267 feet in total width or approximately 100 feet from top of bank on either side of the stream, which is much wider than the required 50-foot buffer width from top of stream bank. The adjacent landowner described the Site as teaming with wildlife but noted that the flathead catfish (Pylodictis olivaris) population in South Deep Creek decreased over recent years, and he now more frequently caught bullhead catfish (Ameiurus nebulosus).The bullhead catfish is more tolerate of muddy waters and low oxygen levels than the flathead catfish. Site activities will reduce fine sediment contributions to South Deep Creek.The native canopy along the restored streams will shade the streams, enabling cooler water temperatures that can support high dissolved oxygen levels and allow better spawning conditions. Furthermore,the riparian corridor that will be established throughout the Site will be utilized by the existing wildlife. Multiple animal tracks were observed throughout the project, including raccoon, opossum, coyote, rabbit, and deer, while red-tail hawks, killdeer birds, flycatchers, and waterfowl were observed.Amphibians present along South Deep Creek that need to seek upland habitats after breeding season will also make use of the riparian corridor. The native floodplain communities should provide increased insect habitat, and more insects will invite bats to forage and will provide food for migratory birds. Planted river birches and planted wildflowers and shrubs will welcome butterflies. Lastly,the continuous riparian corridor will be key in allowing individuals from separate populations to exchange genetics, such as the eastern box turtle (Terrapene carolina carolina). The wildlife diversity and richness will strongly progress on the Site due to the restoration. Lone Hickory Mitigation Site-PART G Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page G.16 All restored reaches on the project will be designed to In-stream log structures create stable, functional stream channels. Design will be based on reference reach and sediment transport analyses. Dimension, pattern, and profile will be designed to allow for frequent overbank flooding, provide stable bank slopes, and enable biological lift. This approach will provide hydrologic connectivity `.. between creeks and floodplains and will also create vertical and lateral stability.Treating invasive vegetation and establishing stable bank slopes will allow for a native and diverse riparian zone to grow which will improve nutrient removal.A diverse bedform will provide habitat for an increased number of species of insects, fish, and amphibians.This diverse bedform will be established using instream structures appropriate for the geomorphic setting such as log weirs, log vanes, and constructed riffles. Hardwood trees may be able to be harvested from upland areas around the property for log and wood structures. Wildlands will begin the project by identifying the best design approach to meet the stated project objectives and implement the appropriate degree of intervention.A combination of analog, empirical, and analytical design approaches will potentially be used. Reference streams will be identified and will serve as one of the primary sources of information on which restoration designs are based. Modeling and other detailed analyses will be used as appropriate to develop or verify designs. Wildlands has developed a general approach to be used as the basis for stream restoration design.The design approach, which is tailored to each site, continues to develop as additional projects are implemented. Some of the key elements of the methods are described below. Generally, stream designs will be based on a design discharge range that, in most cases,will approximate the bankfull discharge but will be selected to meet the objectives of the design.The discharge will be determined through detailed hydrologic analyses using the best available information such as local or regional stream gage records, empirical regional stream flow estimates, hydrologic modeling results, and reference stream flows. Other discharges (such as baseflow or flows to support instream habitat features)will also be considered during the design process based on the specific project objectives.The design will be refined or validated with sediment transport analysis that is further described in Section 3.2 below. Conservation easement areas will be marked per DMS guidelines. Native riparian buffers a minimum of 50 feet from the proposed top of bank will be planted along all restored streams on the Site but as stated above the average buffer will be 100 feet from top of bank. 3.2 Sediment Transport Sediment transport is an extremely complicated process and the appropriate level of analysis must be determined for each specific design.This determination is based on watershed assessment, local stream observations, reference conditions, and other sources of information. Generally,these assessments will lead to one of two levels of sediment transport analysis and a corresponding design approach. For streams that are gravel or cobble bed sites and have a low bed load,threshold channels can be designed based on discharge and sediment transport competence analysis.These channels are not expected to be prone to excessive morphologic change and the project objectives will include that channel slope, geometry, and bedforms do not change significantly over time. Other streams, including those with sand or silt bed material and those that have a moderate to high bedload will require more detailed sediment transport studies.These conditions must be considered when establishing design objectives as alluvial t!6.1 Lone Hickory Mitigation Site-PART G Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page G.17 channels are expected to adjust their slope, geometry, and bedforms over time. In these cases, a capacity analysis with data collection and/or detailed modeling is an important component of the design. However, alluvial channels will most often be designed with controls at key locations to prevent rapid, significant change. At the Lone Hickory Mitigation Site,the fine sediment loading rate is expected to be substantially reduced by eliminating cattle access and stabilizing eroding banks within the project site. For preliminary site analysis, a pavement and subpavement sample were collected on UT1 at XS1.This preliminary analysis indicates that UTI is degradational at this location. XS1 has a low width-to-depth ratio of 8.6, which may contribute to the degradational nature of the section. Shear stress was also evaluated at several locations within the project area. Surveyed cross sections were used to determine an existing condition shear stress associated with the reaches proposed for restoration: UTI XS1,XS2, and XS3; UT2 XS6 and XSB; UT2C XS4; and UT3 XS7. Results from the analysis showed that existing shear stress values for UTI were between 0.80 lbs./ft2 and 1.07 lbs./ft2, which can entrain a maximum particle size between 130 and 160 mm. On UT2,the existing shear stress values were between 0.15 lbs/ft' in the flat, ditched section, which can entrain a particle size of 38 mm, up to 1.30 Ibs/ft2 in the higher sloped section above the culvert,which can entrain a particle size of 185 mm. On UT2C, in the current hillside ditch, the existing shear stress is 1.63 Ibs/ft2 (capable of entraining a 218 mm particle), and on UT3 in the ditched section, the existing shear stress is 0.36 Ibs/ft2(capable of entraining a 71 mm particle). Wildlands will analyze the restoration reaches during the project design and compare the proposed boundary shear stress of designed cross sections and proposed slopes to ensure boundary shear stress within the proposed system is appropriate for the sediment distribution at the site. 3.3 Nutrient Reduction On-site nutrient reduction will be achieved by converting current agricultural fields to a restored stream complex, establishing riparian buffers which average over 250-feet wide across the Site, and installing four BMPs to treat drainage from agricultural runoff.The project area currently consists of a mix of forested canopy and row crops.An estimate of the percent reduction in nitrogen and phosphorus was made using a simplified version of the Tar-Pamlico Nutrient Calculation Sheet that estimates typical nutrient loading. Pre-project conditions reflected agricultural and maintained field conditions within the project area while post-project conditions modeled the project area as wooded. It was assumed that riparian areas within the project easement which are currently row crops will become wooded pervious areas.Additionally, reductions from the proposed BMPs were calculated based on estimated nutrient loads for the proposed BMPs catchments pre and post installation.The proposed BMPs include one dry detention basin and three step pool stormwater conveyances (SPSCs).The removal rate for the dry detention basin was 10%for total nitrogen and 10%for total phosphorus based on standard removal rates listed in the Tar-Pamlico Nutrient Calculation Sheet. The current version of the Tar-Pamlico Nutrient Calculation Sheet does not have estimated nutrient reduction rates for SPSCs. Based on literature research, it was determined that median reduction rates for SPSCs were estimated between 30 and 40%for total nitrogen and 25 and 35%for total phosphorus.The reduction rates depend on factors such as retention time, storm event,vegetation, etc. For this preliminary estimate it was assumed that the reduction rates for the proposed SPSCs were 30%for total nitrogen and 25%for total phosphorus. Based on these reduction values,the worksheet estimated that total nitrogen would be reduced by 56% and total phosphorus (TP) would be reduced by 70%after the proposed site changes. A copy of the spreadsheet results is provided in the Appendix. Lone Hickory Mitigation Site-PART G Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page G.18 3.4 Vegetation Plan r , The Site will be planted following construction of the project. The planting plan will be based on an appropriate nearby reference community and will be developed to restore appropriate strata (canopy, understory, shrub, and herbaceous layers). Based on initial observation of the Site, four specific vegetation communities defined by Shafale (2012)will likely be targeted: • Hillslopes outside of the floodprone area will be planted to target a Mesic Mixed Hardwood Forest Planted riparian (Piedmont subtype). • The upstream reaches of UTI, UT1A, and UT1B will be planted to target a Piedmont Headwater Stream Forest (typic subtype). • The downstream reach of UT1 and UT2 along the old farm road will be planted to target a Piedmont Alluvial Forest. • The flat floodplain of South Deep Creek on the West Side, which contains UT2, UT2A, UT2C, and UT3, will be planted to target a Piedmont Bottomland Forest. The canopy will be restored through planting of bare root trees.The understory and shrub layers will be restored through a combination of planting bare root, low growth species and installing live stake shrub species.The herbaceous layer will be restored by seeding the disturbed area with a native seed mix with an emphasis placed on creating good soil contact to encourage germination. 4.0 Proposed Mitigation Given the existing conditions of the stream channels,the disturbance factors, and the constraints, management objectives for each reach have been established.The Site will be a combination of stream restoration, stream preservation, agricultural BMPs, and optional wetland restoration for a total of 12,901 SM Us. Figure 6 represents the proposed management objectives.The mitigation credit calculation was derived using the US Army Corps of Engineers' Stream Mitigation Guidance and was based on Wildlands' conceptual design for maximum ecological uplift.The management objectives,the mitigation types, and proposed amounts of stream mitigation are presented below.

Steelman, Howard F. Steelman, Nancy R. Shore, Michael S. Shore, Hughes M. Reavis, Cynthia H. Reavis, Joel D. Reavis,Jennifer B. Reavis,Janet R. Wall, and Charles M. Wall. Option agreements for the general project area shown on Figure 6 have been signed by the property owners and a Memorandum of Option for each property owner is recorded for parcels at the Yadkin County Register of Deeds.The option agreements allow Wildlands to acquire the property fee simple.These properties will be recombined into one large parcel upon the purchase by Wildlands Engineering before placing the conservation easement for the State.The Memoranda of Option are valid for a minimum of one year from the closing date of RFP 16-00676. Wildlands will convey the conservation easement to the State to provide long term protection of the mitigation site. In addition, a Temporary Access and Construction Easement has been signed by five property owners: Danny W. Williams, Sherrie Williams,John J. Kessler,Allison Kessler, and Ruth H. Myers.The Temporary Access and Construction Easement allows Wildlands to relocate the UT3 stream channel off the property boundary and onto the Site.The old UT3 channel will be filled in.The agreement has been recorded in the Yadkin County Register of Deeds and the area is reflected on Figure 6. Copies of the Memoranda of Options and Temporary Access and Construction Easement are included in the Appendix.The landowner, parcel identification numbers, and deed book and page number for the Memoranda of Options and Temporary Access and Construction Easement are summarized in Table G.6. � Lone Hickory Mitigation Site-PART G Wildlands Engineering, Inc.

Annual monitoring and semi-annual site visits will be conducted to assess the condition of the completed project.The stream restoration sections of the project will be assigned specific performance criteria components for hydrology, vegetation, and geomorphology. Performance criteria will be evaluated throughout the (up-to) seven years of post- construction monitoring. If all performance criteria have been successfully met and at least two bankfull events and at least two other geomorphically significant events have occurred during separate years, Wildlands may propose to terminate stream and/or vegetation monitoring after five years pending little Lone Hickory Mitigation Site-PART G Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page G.23 to no prevalent invasive species issues are occurring.An outline of the performance criteria components follows. 7.1 Stream Morphological Parameters and Channel Stability Dimension Riffle cross sections on the restoration reaches should be stable and should show little change in bankfull area, maximum depth ratio, and width-to-depth ratio. Per DMS guidance, bank height ratios shall not exceed 1.2 and entrenchment ratios shall be at least 2.2 for restored channels to be considered stable.All riffle cross sections should fall within the parameters defined for channels of the appropriate stream type. If any changes do occur,these changes will be evaluated to assess whether the stream channel is showing signs of instability. Changes in the channel that indicate a movement toward stability or enhanced habitat include a decrease in the width-to-depth ratio in meandering channels or an increase in pool depth. Remedial action would not be taken if channel changes indicate a movement toward stability. In order to assess channel dimension performance, permanent cross sections will be installed per DMS Stream and Wetland Monitoring Guidelines (February 2014). Each cross section will be permanently marked with pins to establish its location. Cross section surveys will include points measured at all breaks in slope, including top of bank, bankfull, edge of water, and thalweg. Cross section and bank pin surveys (if applicable) will be conducted in monitoring years one, three,five, and seven. Example of a cross section survey In addition to the above geomorphic surveys, at least two sets of hydraulic geometry measurements will be conducted within each distinct design reach following a flow event that corresponds with a geomorphic significant discharge (Ogs) event as described in the DMS Stream and Wetland Monitoring Guidelines (February 2014). Within each reach, a representative wavelength will be assessed using hydraulic measurements within riffle and pool cross sections and along water surface slopes. Measurements can occur at any time during the seven-year monitoring period. Profile and Pattern Longitudinal profile surveys will not be conducted during the seven-year monitoring period unless other indicators during the annual monitoring indicate a trend toward vertical and lateral instability. If a longitudinal profile is deemed necessary, monitoring will follow standards as described in the DMS Annual Monitoring and Closeout Reporting Template (February 2014) and the 2003 USACE and DWR Stream Mitigation Guidance for the necessary reaches. Substrate Substrate materials in the restoration reaches should indicate a progression towards or the maintenance of coarser materials in the riffle features and smaller particles in the pool features. A reach-wide pebble count will be performed in each restoration reach each year for classification purposes. A pebble count will be performed at each surveyed riffle to characterize the pavement. t!6,1 Lone Hickory Mitigation Site-PART G Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page G.24 7.2 Hydrology Stream Two bankfull flow events, occurring in separate years, must be documented on the restoration reaches within the seven-year monitoring period. In addition, + a two other geomorphically significant events must be = documented. For these purposes, a geomorphically significant event is a flow event that is at least 66%of 'ifft * x. the 2-year recurrence interval flow.The 2-year recurrence interval flow will be estimated using USGS * ' { ti. regression equations that are appropriate for the Site location in the NC Piedmont.The confirmation that J ^! such an event has occurred will be based on measurements of stage converted to discharge with a stage-discharge relation developed with a hydraulic model. Stream monitoring will continue until success criteria in the form of two bankfull events in separate years and two additional geomorphically significant events have been documented. Bankfull events will be documented using photographs and either a crest gage or a pressure transducer, as appropriate for site conditions.The selected measurement device will be installed in the stream within a surveyed riffle cross section.The device will be checked at each site visit to determine if a bankfull event has occurred. Photographs will also be used to document the occurrence of debris lines and sediment deposition. 7.3 Vegetation The final vegetative success criteria will be the survival of 210 native species stems per acre in the riparian corridor at the end of the required monitoring period (year seven).The interim measure of vegetative success for the site will be the survival of at least 320 native species stems per acre at the end of the third monitoring year and at least 260 stems per acre at the end of the fifth year of monitoring. If this performance standard is met by year five and stem density is trending towards success (i.e.,vigor), and invasive species are not threatening ecological success, monitoring of vegetation on the site may be terminated with written approval by the USACE in consultation with the NC Interagency Review Team. The extent of invasive species coverage will also be monitored and controlled as necessary throughout the required monitoring period (year five or seven). Vegetation monitoring quadrants will be installed across the restoration site to measure the survival of the planted trees.The number of monitoring quadrants required and frequency of monitoring will be based on the DMS monitoring guidance documents. Vegetation monitoring will occur in the fall and will follow the CVS-EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation (2008) or another DMS approved protocol. 7.4 Other Parameters Photo Reference Stations Photographs should illustrate the site's vegetation and morphological stability on an annual basis. Cross section photos should demonstrate no excessive erosion or degradation of the banks. Longitudinal photos should indicate the absence of persistent bars within the channel or vertical incision. Grade control structures should remain stable. Deposition of sediment on the bank side of vane arms is preferable. Maintenance of scour pools on the channel side of vane arms is expected. Photographs will be taken once a year to visually document stability for seven years following construction. Permanent markers will be established and located with GPS equipment so that the same Lone Hickory Mitigation Site-PART G Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page G.25 locations and view directions on the site are photographed each year. Photos will be used to monitor restoration, enhancement, and preservation stream reaches as well as vegetation plots. Longitudinal reference photos will be established at regular intervals along the channel by taking a photo looking upstream and downstream (usually at tail of riffle feature). Cross sectional photos will be taken of each permanent cross section looking upstream and downstream. Reference photos will also be taken for each of the vegetation plots. Representative digital photos of each permanent photo point, cross section, and vegetation plot will be taken on the same day of the stream and vegetation assessments are conducted.The photographer will make every effort to consistently maintain the same area in each photo overtime. Visual Assessments Visual assessments should support the specific performance standards for each metric as described above. Visual assessments will be performed along stream reaches on a semi-annual basis during the seven- year monitoring period. Problem areas will be noted such as channel instability(e.g. lateral and/or vertical instability, instream structure failure/instability and/or piping, headcuts),vegetation health (e.g. low stem density,vegetation mortality, invasive species, or encroachment), beaver activity, or livestock access.Areas of concern will be mapped and photographed accompanied by a written description in the annual report. Problem areas with be re-evaluated during each subsequent visual assessment. Should remedial actions be required, recommendations will be provided in the annual monitoring report. Benthic Macroin vertebrates If required by DWR as part of the project's permitting process, benthic macroinvertebrate sampling will be performed on the restored site.Any required sampling will be performed using DWR Standard Operating Procedures for Benthic Macroinvertebrates, October 2012. 7.5 Reporting Performance Criteria Using the DMS As-Built Baseline Monitoring Report Template (February 2014), a baseline monitoring document and as-built record drawings of the project will be developed on the restored site. Complete monitoring reports will be prepared in the fall of monitoring year one,three,five, and seven and submitted to DMS. In monitoring years two, four, and six, a brief summary of the site along with photos, current condition plan view (CCPV) map, and applicable hydrology data will be prepared and submitted to DMS.These annual monitoring reports will be based on the DMS Annual Monitoring Report Template (April 2015).The monitoring period will extend seven years beyond completion of construction or until performance criteria have been met per the criteria stated in the DMS Stream and Wetland Mitigation Monitoring Guidelines(February 2014). 7.6 Maintenance and Contingency Plans The Wildlands Team will develop necessary adaptive measures or implement appropriate remedial actions in the event that the site or a specific component of the site fails to achieve the success criteria outlined above.The project—specific monitoring plan developed during the design phase will identify an appropriate threshold for maintenance intervention based on the monitored items. Any actions implemented will be designed to achieve the success criteria specified previously, and will include a work schedule and updated monitoring criteria. Lone Hickory Mitigation Site-PART G Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page G.26 8.0 Quality Control The Wildlands Team takes pride in the quality of services that we deliver to our clients. We strive to exceed our clients' expectations. In order to maintain the highest level of quality, Wildlands has an established Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) protocol that every member of our staff follows. At the beginning of a project, the necessary level of QA/QC is determined based on the size and complexity of the project.At a minimum,the project manager and an assigned QA/QC manager will function to control the quality of the project.The project manager provides day-to-day QA/QC and may assign task leaders to provide task-specific quality control (QC)functions. The QA/QC manager is a knowledgeable senior staff member who is not assigned to function in a lead capacity on other areas of the project.This allows the QA/QC manager clear, objective views of the quality of work. Our QC program includes established procedures for processes performed from project inception through implementation and success monitoring of the project. For example,Wildlands has developed standardized checklists and pre-defined procedures for activities such as field surveys of stream cross-sections and Pfp=ftt�' profiles, pebble counts, benthic surveys, bank stability p , p Y Y t assessments, natural channel design, permitting, contract document preparation, post-construction baseline survey, and Wse w•an Pa - P•� -_ post construction monitoring.The checklists are largely based on the most current DMS guidelines to ensure that all required information is included in the correct format.Task leaders assigned for each activity train project team members in the . application of these procedures.The task leaders assist the project manager by providing day-to-day QC functions, such as establishing clear decisions and directions to team members in the field, checking the completeness and accuracy of checklists, constant supervision, and documentation of all decisions, assumptions, and recommendations.The role of the project manager in QC is to monitor and maintain project schedule and budget, address any concerns the client may have, constantly assess company resources, and review all of the checklists. During the conceptual and preliminary design stages,the project manager and the task leader will perform a review of the design data, plans,technical specifications, and construction estimate for accuracy, correct approach, and general overall quality of the product before submission to the client. The project manager will perform a similar review at final design as will the QA/QC manager. During the construction phase,the project manager and the construction task manager will regularly meet to provide updates and discuss any issues.The goal of the QC process is to provide the highest quality product to our client by completing tasks correctly the first time. By only completing procedural processes once, it helps ensure that we deliver the best products at a minimum cost to our clients. QA is performed to confirm that the QC program is effectively enforced, and to provide feedback on further developments needed in the QC program.The QA/QC manager leads the QA program; however, the project manager,task leaders, and project team staff also play large roles. It is each person's responsibility to notify the QA/QC manager whenever discrepancies and inefficiencies are found in the set of procedural activities that make up the QC process.The objective of QA is the continual Lone Hickory Mitigation Site-PART G Wildlands Engineering, Inc. Page G.27 improvement of the total delivery process to enhance quality, productivity, and customer satisfaction. We are continually improving the QC process so that our latest products and services are better than the previous ones. 8.1 Deliverables Schedule is established during the scoping phases of a project and it is the project manager's responsibility to maintain the schedule. A work plan is developed at the outset of a project and shared internally with team members so that milestone deadlines and work requirements are clearly outlined. Review time is built into this internal schedule to ensure that adequate review takes place. The QA form, which is maintained by the QA/QC manager, is established at the beginning of the project and is maintained throughout the life of the project. Reviews of technical data, design parameters, reports, plan sheets, hydraulic models, and supporting calculations are tracked on the form. Included on this form are requirements that a professional staff member, who is not involved in the project on a day-to-day basis review the design calculations, hydraulic models, reports, plans, and all other types of project deliverables. Conformance with DMS report templates are also integrated into the QA review process. 8.2 Construction Wildlands team members are familiar with the policies, procedures, and practices necessary to construct natural channel design and wetland restoration projects.Wildlands has provided construction administration and observation services of over 28 miles of stream work and 152 acres of wetland work. We believe that project implementation is the ultimate key to a successful project and,to achieve this, it is extremely important to have our most experienced staff members involved on all construction projects. Our team knows how to oversee construction so that the project is completed on time and in compliance with all federal, state, and local permits.
