1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services (NCDMS) has completed restoration of 5178 linear
feet of stream at the McIntyre Creek Restoration Site (hereafter referred to as the "Site") to assist in fulfilling
stream and wetland mitigation goals in the area.
The goals and objectives of this project focus on improving local water quality, habitat, and stream stability.
These goals were accomplished by the following.
1. Restoring stable channel morphology capable of moving flows and sediments provided by the
watershed.
2. Improving water quality by reducing soil and riparian vegetation loss resulting from lateral erosion
and bed degradation.
3. Improving aquatic habitat with bed variability and the use of in -stream structures.
4. Stabilizing tributaries draining into McIntyre Creek.
5. Providing educational opportunities through Mecklenburg County.
6. Improving the natural aesthetics of Hornets Nest Park.
7. Enhancing vegetation to provide habitat/food sources, shade the stream, filter overland runoff, and
remove soil particles and other nutrients from stormwater.
8. Protecting a Site identified in a watershed listed as impaired for elevated levels of copper and
turbidity (NCDWQ 2010).
The Site is located in Hornets Nest Park on the northern side of the City of Charlotte in Mecklenburg
County. The Site is located in United States Geological Survey (USGS) Hydrologic Unit 03050101170020
(North Carolina Division of Water Quality [NCDWQ] Subbasin 03-08-34) of the Catawba River Basin and
will service USGS 8 -digit Cataloging Unit (CU) 03050101. The Site is located in NCDMS Targeted Local
Watershed within the Long Creek watershed targeted for restoration. Waters in the Site drain
approximately 2.5 miles into Long Creek (NCDWQ No. 11-120-[2.5]), which is listed as impaired for
elevated levels of copper and turbidity negatively affecting aquatic life (NCDWQ 2010).
Prior to construction, the Site contained a degraded stream channel with a disturbed riparian buffer located
within Hornets Nest Park. Site streams were characterized by eroding banks, channel widening, high
sediment inputs from construction occurring in the upstream watershed and onsite bank erosion, and
channel incision as indicated by bank -height -ratios ranging from 1.4 to 1.9. Surrounding land uses include
commercial and residential areas with narrow riparian corridors adjacent to streams. At least 50 percent of
the contributing watershed had been cleared and developed.
Project construction was completed between March 2007 -May 2008 and repairs were completed between
August 2009 -January 2010. Additional repairs to stabilize banks and structures were completed on
Monitoring Reach 1 were completed in March 2016. The project restored 5178 linear feet of stream using
Priority I restoration by constructing a new meandering channel within the McIntyre Creek floodplain,
incorporating in -stream structures, installing grade control structures at the confluence with two tributaries,
and planting native forest species. Site activities provide 5129 Stream Mitigation Units (49 linear feet of
the restored channel is located within a utility easement and therefore was not included in the available
mitigation credit). The Site is protected by a permanent conservation easement held by the State of North
Carolina.
Success criteria for stream restoration will be assessed using measurements of stream dimension, pattern,
and profile; site photographs; visual assessments; and vegetation sampling. Cross-section measurements
should show little or no change from the as -built cross-sections. If changes occur, evaluations will be
completed to determine whether changes are minor adjustments trending towards a more stable channel or

DMS Project Number 243 November 2016

if changes indicate movement towards an unstable condition. Annual measurements should indicate stable
bed form features with little change from the as -built survey. Pools are expected to maintain depth with
lower water surface slope and riffles are expected to remain shallower with steeper water surface slopes.
Substrate measurements should indicate maintenance of distributions from the design phase and baseline
measurements. In addition, there should be an absence of any significant aggradation or degradation of the
stream channel. During years 6 and 7, monitoring activities will include measurement of the 4 existing
cross-sections as well as the establishment and measurement of 3 additional riffle cross-sections (2 in
Monitoring Reach 1 and 1 in Monitoring Reach 2). Profile will not be measured during these years as 5
years of data have already been collected. Vegetation sampling during years 6 and 7 will include the
establishment and measurement of 4 temporary 100 square meter plots along the disturbed portions of
Monitoring Reach 1. Data will include counts and speciation of planted species and volunteers. A visual
assessment of stream and vegetation conditions will also be completed along with all previously reported
photo points.
During years 1 (2010) through 5 (2014), bank erosion was in scattered areas across the site, with those at
the bottom of the project (Monitoring Reach 1) being the most concerning in that they represented active
mass wasting. As a result, DMS repaired these areas in Monitoring Reach 1 early in 2016. The areas in
Monitoring Reaches 2 and 3 were less concerning in that they are dominated by surficial scour (8 and 5%,
respectively during year 6, and 9 and 6%, respectively during year 7 (Tables 5B -5C, Appendix B)) as
opposed to mass wasting. Additionally, these features developed earlier in the project, yet have not
advanced significantly in recent years. The bank erosion percentages within these reaches have either
remained the same or improved slightly compared to prior years. Erosion was also observed in pool cross-
sections 1 and 4 earlier in the projects history; however, these cross-sections have not demonstrated any
appreciable change even when exposed to multiple storm flows. The watershed is extremely flashy due to
the extensive amount of impervious surface in the contributing watershed and floods quickly even during
modest rain events. Therefore, given the lack of change within the last 3 years, the repairs focused on the
bottom reach (Monitoring Reach 1) thereby avoiding unnecessary disturbance of sections that appear to
have equilibrated.
Success criteria for stream restoration will include documentation of two bankfull channel events during
the monitoring period. In the event that less than two bankfull events occur during the first five years,
monitoring will continue until the second event is documented. In addition, bankfull events must occur
during separate monitoring years. A crest gauge is located within the Site to assist with documentation of
bankfull events (Figures 2-2A, Appendix B). One bankf ill event was documented during the year 7 (2016)
monitoring season making a total of six bankfull events documented within the seven-year monitoring
period. Additionally, precipitation data indicates that four geomorphologically relevant flow events
occurred onsite during the year 7 (2016) monitoring season for a total of at least fourteen such flows
occurring over the seven year monitoring period.
Vegetation success criteria dictate that an average density of 320 stems per acre must be surviving in the
first three monitoring years. Subsequently, 290 stems per acre must be surviving in year 4 and 260 stems
per acre in year 5. Stem counts will be based on an average of the evaluated vegetation plots. Based on
the number of stems counted, average densities were measured at 477 planted stems per acre (excluding
livestakes) surviving in year 5 (2014); therefore, the site has met its vegetation success criteria. Four
temporary vegetation plots were established along Monitoring Reach 1 to assess the areas requiring
supplemental planting after the repair. Counts and speciation of all stems within these plots was performed.
Year 7 (2016) results indicate an average of 1427 stems per acre with 4 to 6 species per plot, including
natural recruits, within this reach.

Vegetation areas of concern within the Site include several patches of multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora),
Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), and kudzu (Pueraria
lobata). These are depicted on Figures 2A -2B (Appendix B). Invasive species treatments have occurred
in late October 2013, early 2014, October 2015, December 2015, and September 2016. The most recent
treatments appear to be successful with significantly less invasive species populations observed during year
7 (2016) than previous monitoring years (Table 6, Appendix B).
Two groundwater gauges (Gauges 2 and 3) were installed within the Site within wetland areas created as
the result of stream restoration activities. An additional gauge (Gauge 1) was placed just outside of
delineated wetland areas created as the result of stream restoration activities. These gauges were monitored
during years 1 through 5, and all delineated wetlands are meeting success criteria. Groundwater hydrology
data is included in Appendix E.
Beaver activity observed on the Site during previous monitoring years has lessened due to proactive
measurements taken by DMS. Some signs of recent beaver activity were observed throughout the Site
during monitoring year 7 (2016), however no dams were observed during monitoring activities. Proactive
measures to control beaver will continue as necessary.
Summary information and data related to the occurrence of items such as beaver or encroachment and
statistics related to performance of various project and monitoring elements can be found in tables and
figures within this report's appendices. Narrative background and supporting information formerly found
in these reports can be found in the mitigation and restoration plan documents available on DMSs website.
All raw data supporting the tables and figures in the appendices is available from DMS upon request.
2.0 METHODOLOGY
2.1 Vegetation Assessment
Ten vegetation plots were established and marked after construction with four foot metal U -bar post
demarking the corners with a ten foot, three-quarter inch PVC at the origin. The plots are 10 meters square
and are located randomly within the Site. These plots were surveyed during monitoring years 1 (2010)
through 5 (2014) using the CVS -DMS Protocol for Recording Vegetation, Version 4.2 (Lee et al. 2008)
(http:Hcvs.bio.unc.edu/methods.htm). During year 6 (2015), 4 temporary 100 square meter plots were
established and measured along the disturbed portions of Monitoring Reach 1. Plot data for years 6-7
(2015-2016) included counts and speciation of planted species and volunteers; results are included in
Appendix C. The taxonomic standard for vegetation used for this document was Flora of the Carolinas,
Virginia, Georgia, and Surrounding Areas (Weakley 2007).
2.2 Stream Assessment
Annual stream monitoring will be conducted following procedures established in the USDA Forest Service
Manual, Stream Channel Reference Sites (Harrelson et. al 1994) and methodologies utilized in the Rosgen
stream assessment and classification system (Rosgen 1994 and 1996). Four permanent cross-sections, two
riffle and two pool, were established during year 1 (20 10) and were measured each year thereafter. During
year 6 (2015), 3 additional cross-sections were established and measured in years 6-7 (2015-2016). Cross-
sections will be used to evaluate stream dimension; locations are depicted on Figures 2 and 2A -2B
(Appendix B). Cross-sections are permanently monumented with 4 -foot metal garden posts at each end
point. Cross-sections will be surveyed to provide a detailed measurement of the stream and banks including
points on the adjacent floodplain, top of bank, bankfull, breaks in slope, edge of water, and thalweg. Data
will be used to calculate width -depth ratios, entrenchment ratios, and bank height ratios for each cross-
section. In addition, photographs will be taken at each permanent cross-section location annually.

Three approximately 1000 -linear foot monitoring reaches were established during year 1 (2010) and will
be used to evaluate stream pattern and longitudinal profile; locations are depicted on Figures 2 and 2A-213
(Appendix B). Measurements of channel pattern included belt -width, meander length, and radius of
curvature (only in year one). Subsequently, data was used to calculated meander -width ratios. Longitudinal
profile measurements will include average water surface slopes and facet slopes and pool -to -pool spacing.
Stream profile will not be measured during years 6 (2015) and 7 (2016). Ten permanent photo points were
established throughout the restoration reach; locations are depicted on Figures 2 and 2A-213 (Appendix B)
and plots are included in Appendix B. In addition, visual stream morphology stability assessments will be
completed in each of the three monitoring reaches annually to assess the channel bed, banks, and in -stream
structures.
2.3 Wetland Assessment
Three groundwater monitoring gauges were installed at the Site in February 2011 and have been maintained
and monitored throughout years 1 (2010) through 5 (2014) growing seasons. Two gauges (Gauges 2 and
3) are located within delineated wetlands created by stream restoration activities and one gauge (Gauge 1)
is located within a marginal area not in the delineated wetlands to assist with making a determination in
marginal areas. Graphs of years 1 through 5 groundwater hydrology and precipitation are included in
Appendix E.

1 = Enter the planted acreage within the easement. This number is calculated as the easement acreage minus any existing mature tree stands that were not subject to supplemental planting of the understory, the channel acreage, crossings or any
elements not directly planted as part of the project effort.
= The acreage within the easement boundaries.
3 = Encroachment may occur within or outside of planted areas and will therefore be calculated against the overall easement acreage. In the event a polygon is cataloged into items 1, 2 or 3 in the table and is the result of encroachment, the associat
acreage should be tallied in the relevant item (i.e., item 1,2 or 3) as well as a parallel tally in item 5.
4 = Invasives may occur in or out of planted areas, but still within the easement and will therefore be calculated against the overall easement acreage. Invasives of concern/interest are listed below. The list of high concern spcies are those with t
potential to directly outcompete native, young, woody stems in the short-term (e.g. monitoring period or shortly thereafter) or affect the community structure for existing, more established tree/shrub stands over timeframes that are slightly longer (e.g. 1
decades). The low/moderate concern group are those species that generally do not have this capacity over the timeframes discussed and therefore are not expected to be mapped with regularity, but can be mapped, if in the judgement of the obsen
their coverage, density or distribution is suppressing the viability, density, or growth of planted woody stems. Decisions as to whether remediation will be needed are based on the integration of risk factors by DMS such as species present, th
coverage, distribution relative to native biomass, and the practicality of treatment. For example, even modest amounts of Kudzu or Japanese Knotweed early in the projects history will warrant control, but potentially large coverages of Microstegium
the herb layer will not likley trigger control because of the limited capacities to impact tree/shrub layers within the timeframes discussed and the potential impacts of treating extensive amounts of ground cover. Those species with the "watch li.
designator in gray shade are of interest as well, but have yet to be observed across the state with any frequency. Those in red italics are of particular interest given their extreme risk/threat level for mapping as points where isolated specimens are four
particularly ealry in a projects monitoring history. However, areas of discreet, dense patches will of course be mapped as polygons. The symbology scheme below was one that was found to be helpful for symbolzing invasives polygons, particulalry 1
situations where the conditon for an area is somewhere between isolated specimens and dense, discreet patches. In any case, the point or polygon/area feature can be symbolized to describe things like high or low concern and species can be listed
