Executive Summary
The Tar River Headwaters Stream Mitigation Bank (TRHSMB) is located on a cattle farm in eastern
Person County, between Roxboro and Oxford, North Carolina, within the Piedmont physiographic province
(Figure 1). The 228 -acre farm property is owned by Roy and Joyce Huff, located at 333 Bunnie Huff
Road, Oxford, NC 27565, in USGS 12 -digit HUC #03020101-0102. This stream mitigation project and the
previously established Tar River Headwaters Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Mitigation Bank
(TRHRNO) project share the same 18.56 -acre conservation easement. A farm road crossing provides
access at the middle of the easement (Lat = 36.3909, Lon = -78.8168), and splits it into upper (northeast)
and lower (southwest) halves.
The TRHSMB includes 595 feet of perennial stream restoration (as -built length), 444 feet of Level -1
stream enhancement, and 2,678 feet of Level -2 stream enhancement along two unnamed headwater
tributaries. The as -built project follows the Mitigation Plan except for minor deviations in the locations and
lengths of some channel features and reach endpoints; less extensive bank grading in the enhancement
reach; substitutions in the planted tree species mix; and the conservation easement boundary and fence
location. Reasons for these plan deviations are discussed in Section 6. Applying the appropriate credit
ratios for each mitigation approach, the stream mitigation credit total was increased from 1,902 credits in
the Mitigation Plan to 1,962 as -built credits.
Easement fencing was installed in October 2015 and the majority of the 50 -foot riparian zone was treated,
seeded, and planted at an average 10 -foot spacing (430 trees per acre) in November 2015. The uppermost
reach proposed for stream restoration and bank grading was treated and seeded at that time, but no trees
were planted in that area until after stream construction and grading work were finished in May 2017.
Planting in the disturbed areas was completed during May -June 2017, and the conservation easement
boundary and fence were adjusted to meet the minimum 50 -ft riparian buffer width. Also, previously
planted areas showing low tree survival received supplemental planting during Feb -May 2017. Some areas
along the middle and southern enhancement reaches with existing canopy trees required fewer planted
trees.
As -built monitoring in May 2017 documented 10 to 13 planted trees in each of the eight CVS monitoring
plots (10 x 10 meters), meeting design criteria. Some plots also have native volunteer seedlings (Table 5).
Herbaceous vegetation is dense throughout the non -graded areas, with a diverse mix of native volunteer
groundcover species in addition to those seeded in Nov 2015, and Fescue is no longer a dominant
component. The northernmost two acres where grading occurred along the stream has sparse groundcover
and dense clay soil; this area will be monitored closely to assess whether future soil amendments, re-
seeding, or supplemental planting may be needed. Invasive species occurrences are minor, with scattered
patches of exotic shrubs and vines mainly along the easement perimeter fence and along the wooded stream
bank south of the road crossing. Many of these were sprayed in 2015-2016, and treatment will continue as
needed. No issues with stream instability, easement integrity, encroachment or wildlife damage are evident
at this time.
Mitigation monitoring features include four channel cross-sections and two granulated -cork crest gauges in
the restoration reach and E1 enhancement reach, eight CVS vegetation plots, and eight fixed photo-
documentation points. These features plus a longitudinal profile survey of the restored reach will be
monitored and annual reports submitted during monitoring years 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7, as specified in the
Mitigation Plan.

1.0. Project Location and Setting
The Tar River Headwaters Stream Mitigation Bank (TRHSMB) is located on a cattle farm in eastern
Person County, seven miles east of Roxboro, North Carolina, in the Carolina Slate Belt region of the
Piedmont Physiographic Province (Figure 1). The bank service area for mitigation credits is the Tar -
Pamlico River basin 8 -digit HUC #03020101, extending from the headwaters in Person County
downstream to Tarboro in Edgecombe County (Figure 2). The 18.56 -acre project site is located within the
uppermost sub -watershed, 12 -digit HUC #03020101-0102. The 228 -acre property containing the project
conservation easement is owned by Roy and Joyce Huff, located at 333 Bunnie Huff Road, Oxford, NC
27565. The project was planned, designed and constructed following the Mitigation Banking Instrument
(MBI) and Bank Parcel Development Plan (BPDP) approved in December 2016. Deviations from the
approved Mitigation Plan are itemized in Section 6.0 below.
This stream mitigation project and the previously established Tar River Headwaters Riparian Buffer and
Nutrient Offset Mitigation Bank (TRHRNO) project share the same 18.56 -acre conservation easement. A
gravel farm road extending west from Bunnie Huff Rd provides access near the middle of the project
easement (Lat = 36.3909, Lon = -78.8168), and splits the project into upper (northeast) and lower
(southwest) halves. An abutting conservation easement to the north contains NC Division of Mitigation
Services (DMS) full -delivery wetland mitigation and nutrient buffer mitigation projects, all located on the
same parcel. This cluster of two DMS full -delivery projects and two mitigation bank projects on the Huff
family farm were planned and implemented by Mogensen Mitigation, Inc. (MMI), with design and
technical assistance from Ecological Engineering, Inc.
Directions to the TRHSMB site from Raleigh are:
• Travel north on Glenwood Ave (US -70) to Creedmoor Rd (NC -50), continue north for 19.5 miles.
• Turn left (west) onto Lake Road in Creedmoor, go 0.5 mile, turn right onto Stem Rd Brogden Rd.
• Follow Brodgen Road north for 5.6 miles through Stem, then turn right onto SR-1004/Old NC -75.
• Go 1.0 mile on Old NC -75, turn left on Culbreth Rd, go 7.0 miles, turn left on US -158 in Berea.
• Follow US -158 west for 0.6 mile, turn right onto Old Roxboro Rd and continue NW for 5.6 miles.
• Old Roxboro Rd becomes Denny Store Rd at the Granville/Person County line.
• Continue on Denny Store Rd for 1.5 mile, turn right (north) on Bunnie Huff Road, go 0.4 mile.
• Turn left at the Huff Farm 2nd driveway, proceed through farm gate at west end of the driveway.
2.0. Pre -Construction Site Conditions
The TRHSMB site was cleared for pasture in the 1940s according to the landowner, and used for grazing
cattle until the conservation easement fence was installed in October 2015. A review of historical aerials
from 1950, 1977, and 1981 (included in the BPDP) and Google Earth images from 1992 to 2016 show
minimal land use change in the watershed over the past 65 years. Stream alignments appear to have shifted
little during this period, other than some additional straightening in the upper portion of the project area.
The site is at least six miles from municipal water and sewer service, and watershed land use is unlikely to
change significantly during the next decade.
The main stream (UT2) flows southwestward through the conservation easement, and an eastern tributary
(UTI) flows northwestward, joining UT2 about 180 ft upstream of the farm road crossing near the middle
Tar River Headwaters Stream Mitigation Bank Page 3 of 40
As -Built Baseline Monitoring Report — August 2017 Mogensen Mitigation Inc.
of the easement (Figues 4 and 5). Both streams are perennial, as documented in the Mitigation Plan. The
upper half of UT2 and the entire length of UT1 were severely straightened and devoid of woody vegetation
along the banks prior to project implementation. The lower half of UT2 was partially straightened, but
retains moderate sinuosity and stabilizing woody root mass and canopy along some segments.
The contributing drainage basin area above UT2 at the upper easement boundary is 1.1 sq.mi, and the
drainage area above UTI at the eastern boundary is 0.2. sq.mi. The drainage area at the downstream end of
the project is 1.6 sq.mi, which includes drainage from the DMS full delivery wetland and buffer mitigation
sites to the north. The contributing watershed is roughly three-fourths forested and one-fourth pasture and
crop lands, based on the downstream endpoint. Less than 0.5% of the watershed consists of developed land
and impervious surfaces.
Land elevations within the project easement range from approximately 575 feet (NAVD-88) at the highest
point along the northwest easement boundary to 558 feet at the downstream boundary. The thalweg
elevation of the main stream is about 567 ft at the upper boundary, dropping to 557 feet at the lower
boundary, with an average valley slope of 0.0034 (valley length 2,900 ft) and average channel slope of
0.0031 (channel length 3,243 ft). The pre -construction stream type (Rosgen classification) is an incised E4
in the restoration reach and C5 along the remaining reaches. Pre -construction sinuosity is very low (1.05)
in the straightened northern half, and moderately low (1. 17) in the less altered southern half. The
predominant bed material is fine to medium sand over most of the project, with a few small areas of coarse
sand, gravel, and small cobble near the upper end of UT2 and in several short segments along the lower
half of UT2. Riffle/pool structure is weak throughout the upper half, and moderately developed in the
lower half. The natural forested segment of UT2 just upstream of the northern easement boundary is
moderately sinuous with a bed of mixed sand, gravel, and cobble. Pre -project geomorphology, sediment
transport, and improvement potential are discussed further in the Mitigation Plan (Dec 2016).
The predominant soil mapping unit on the project site is Chewacla and Wehadkee loam (ChA) on the
floodplain, with minor areas of Herndon silt loam (HrC), Iredell loam (IdA), Lignum silt loam (LgB),and
Tatum silt loam (TaD) along upland edges, as identified by the USDA Soil Survey of Person County
(1995) and USDA WebSoilSurvey (Figure 3). Several natural wetlands and one excavated depression that
served as a former watering hole for cattle are located within the ChA-mapped areas. No wetlands are
located in the project construction areas. Trees remain on the stream banks in a few areas, mainly along the
lower half south of the farm road crossing, but nearly all of the stream banks in the upper half are devoid of
trees and shrubs, and bank slumping is extensive. The pre -fencing groundcover is predominantly Fescue
and other pasture grasses mixed with Juncus, Diodia, Ranunculus, Polygonum, Solidago, and other typical
floodplain pasture species.
3.0. Mitigation Goals and Objectives
The DEQ Tar River Basin Restoration Priority (TRBRP) report (20 10) identifies nutrient and sediment
inputs and loss of riparian buffers in agricultural areas as significant stressors within the Tar River basin,
and recommends mitigating these impacts and connecting conservation lands as important goals. The
Upper Tar River Aquatic Habitat was identified in the 2005 NC Wildlife Resources Commission's
(NCWRC's) Wildlife Action Plan as a priority area for freshwater habitat protection and as having a "high
likelihood of restoration/conservation" (Shute et.al, 1997). Streams on the project site are also within the
public water supply watershed (DEQ classification WS -IV -NSW) for an intake in Granville County.
Specific project goals and objectives are listed below, as copied from the Mitigation Plan:

4.0. Mitigation Components and Assets
The final as -built project easement (18.56 acre) contains 3,717 feet of streams (as -built length) and 8.13
acres of riparian buffers within 50 ft from the stream banks (Figures 4 and 5). The restored and enhanced
buffers are at least 50 ft wide throughout the project as required for full stream credit. (The additional
easement lands more than 50 feet beyond the stream banks will provide nutrient offset credits for the
TRHRNO bank). The project will generate an estimated 1,962 stream mitigation credits (SMC) from a
combination of stream restoration (P2) and enhancement (E1 and E2) as summarized in Table 1 below.
Pre -construction lengths in the table are based on the as -built reach endpoints, not the proposed stationing
shown in the Mitigation Plan (Dec 2016). The P2/E1 and E1/E2 transition points were shifted downstream
relative to the Mitigation Plan. The as -built stationing begins at 0+00 at the head of each stream, rather
than 10+00 as used in the Mitigation Plan. Restoration and enhancement reach endpoints are indicated in
Figures 4 and 5.

the monitoring period, and the Tar River Land Conservancy (TRLC) based in Louisburg NC will serve as
the easement holder for long-term stewardship.
5.0. Monitoring Plan and Success Criteria (Performance Standards)
Mitigation monitoring features include: a) four channel cross-sections (two in the restoration reach, two in
the E1 enhancement reach) for monitoring channel dimensions and substrate; b) two cork granulated -crest
gauges (one in the restoration reach, one in the E 1 reach) for monitoring over -bank flow events; c) eight
CVS vegetation plots (five along the upper half, three along the lower half) for monitoring riparian
vegetation survival and density within 50 feet of the streams; and d) eight fixed photo -documentation
points. These features plus a longitudinal profile survey of the restored reach will be monitored and
detailed annual reports submitted during monitoring years 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7, following USACE and NCDWR
Stream Mitigation Guidelines. Abbreviated monitoring reports will be prepared for monitoring years 4 and
6 containing information based on visual assessment only, as specified in the Mitigation Plan (Dec 2016).
Channel Dimension Monitoring and Performance Standards: Monitoring consists of one riffle and one
pool cross-section in the restoration reach (UT2-R1) and one riffle and one pool cross-section in the
enhancement E1 reach (UT2-R2). Cross-sections are marked with rebar pins and measurements taken will
include top of bank, bankfull, edge of water, thalweg, and other significant changes in slope. Horizontal
bank pins may be installed to quantify bank erosion if any erosion areas of concern are observed. Cross-
section data will be collected in monitoring years 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7.
Riffle cross-sections on the R and E1 reaches should be stable and should show little change in bankfull
area, maximum depth ratio, and width -to -depth ratio. The bank height ratios shall not exceed 1.2 and
entrenchment ratios shall be at least 2.2 for restored channel to be considered stable. An entrenchment ratio
of 2.2 or greater is appropriate for C and E channels and would indicate stability if the channel evolves
from C to E. All riffle cross-sections should fall within the parameters defined for channels of the
appropriate designed stream type. If measurements indicate a shift of greater than 10% from the design
values, the channel will be assessed to determine whether there are signs of instability. Remedial action
will be taken if a stream is showing signs of instability.
Pattern and Profile Monitoring and Performance Standards: A longitudinal profile survey of the
restoration reach (UT2-R1) from the upper boundary fence to the head of the enhancement reach (595
linear feet) during the baseline monitoring for the as -built (MYO) document and in monitoring years 1, 2, 3,
5 and 7. No longitudinal profile survey data collected is planned along the enhancement reaches.
An increase by more than 10% of the cross-sectional area will be considered a potential sign of lateral
instability. In the event of a shift of greater than 10% of the cross-sectional area the site will be evaluated
further and determine whether appropriate action needs to be taken. The channel should not exhibit
evidence of headcutting. Signs of headcutting will indicate potential evidence of vertical instability;
however changes in pool depth will not indicate vertical instability.
Channel Substrate Monitoring and Performance Standards: Channel substrate materials will be
collected at the two cross-sections along the restoration reach UT2-R1. Wolmann pebble counts will be
conducted to determine whether there is a shift in the size or distribution of the bed material. The UT2-R1
restoration reach should indicate particle size consistent with the designed entrainment of 10-50 mm. There
will be no assessment of substrate for the enhancement reaches.
Tar River Headwaters Stream Mitigation Bank Page 6 of 40
As -Built Baseline Monitoring Report — August 2017 Mogensen Mitigation Inc.
Bankfull Flow Monitoring and Performance Standards: Two bankfull flow events must be documented
in separate monitoring years on the restoration and enhancement reaches. These will be measured using a
crest stage gauge and/or dated photo documentation of sediment deposition and wrack lines on the adjacent
floodplain. Stream bankfull monitoring will continue until success criteria of two bankf ill events in
separate years have been met.
Riparian Vegetation Monitoring and Performance Standards: Eight vegetation monitoring plots (10 x
10 meter each) are located along the 50 -foot wide riparian corridors on both sides of the streams. These
plots comprise 2.4 percent of the 8.13 acre riparian area within 50 feet of the stream banks. Eleven
additional vegetation plots located more than 50 feet beyond the stream banks apply only to the nutrient
offset bank (TRHRNO), but are included in the CCPV (Figures 5b and 5c) to assist with visual orientation.
Each monitoring year, planted and volunteer woody stems will be counted and measured following the
CVS Level 2 sampling protocol. The final success criteria after seven years of monitoring will be 210
living, native hardwood stems/acre average density in the 50 -ft riparian zone. The interim measure of
vegetative success for the site will be 320 living, native, hardwood stems/acre at the end of monitoring year
three and 260 stems/acre after five years of monitoring.
Photo Documentation: Photographs will be taken annually at fixed points on all restoration and
enhancement reaches from locations established during the baseline documentation (Figure 5). Photos will
also be taken at each permanent cross-section, vegetation plot, and representative structures.
6.0. As -Built Conditions
Stream restoration and enhancement construction work was completed in May 2017. The as -built survey
includes 595 feet of perennial stream restoration (as -built length), 444 feet of E1 stream enhancement, and
2,678 feet of E2 stream enhancement along two unnamed headwater tributaries (Figure 4 and Appendix E).
The restoration reach (UT2-R1) contains four constructed riffles, three pools, and one cross -vane; the El
enhancement reach (UT2-R2) contains two constructed riffles and one pool. Bank grading and benching
along the E1 reach was conducted wherever steep slopes and/or active bank slumping indicated the need,
especially the reach from station 9+40 to 10+39 where several concrete culvert pipes were removed.
Previously eroded or slumped bank segments along E 1 that appear to have stabilized with native woody
and deep-rooted herbaceous vegetation were mostly left as is. The project follows the Mitigation Plan
except for the following modifications:
1) The proposed cross -vane near the head of the project was determined to be unnecessary by the design
engineer and was replaced with a constructed riffle.
2) The lower cross -vane (bottom of restoration reach) was shifted 45 feet farther downstream.
3) The enhancement level -1 reach (E-1) along the main channel was extended 34 feet farther downstream.
4) Stream bank grading in the E-1 reach was less extensive than proposed due to new growth of natural
stabilizing vegetation and lack of active erosion.
5) The planted tree species mix was revised slightly due to nursery stock availability.
6) The conservation easement boundary and fence were moved to ensure at least 50 feet of riparian buffer
throughout the project. The as -built project easement (18.56 acre) is 0.64 acre larger than proposed in the
Mitigation Plan.
Tar River Headwaters Stream Mitigation Bank Page 7 of 40
As -Built Baseline Monitoring Report — August 2017 Mogensen Mitigation Inc.
7) Applying the appropriate credit ratios for each reach, the stream mitigation credit total was increased
from 1,902 in the Plan to 1,962 SMU in the as -built project.
The easement perimeter fence is 4 -ft high woven -wire field fence supported on 6 -inch diameter pressure -
treated wooden posts (10 -ft spacing) with single -strand barbed wire on top along all boundaries where
livestock access is possible. No new fence was installed along segments with an adequate pre-existing
fence, including the downstream (southern) boundary and the east side of the upper section. A short
segment of the easement boundary along the northeast side has no fence, as this area is bounded by natural
hardwood forest and no livestock have access to this area. The entire perimeter is marked with
conservation easement signs on posts or bollards.
Stream feature locations, lengths, and elevations generally match the Mitigation Plan, as shown in the
CCPV and longitudinal and cross-section profiles and tables provided in Appendix B (Figures 6 and 7) and
Appendix E (as -built plan sheets). One exception is the cross-sectional area at cross-section 2, due to the
fact that this cross-section is not located at the deepest part of the pool, which is 11 feet farther downstream
and 0.3 ft deeper. Also, rainfall during and immediately after construction, before the longitudinal profile
survey, may have resulted in temporary excess sediment deposition in the pools. Subsequent monitoring
will determine if pool depths and cross-sectional areas are meeting the design criteria.
Also, the lower portion of UT2-R1 and much of UT2-R2 has a naturally low gradient, and the water surface
in this segment is nearly flat (at low flow condition) from station 4+20 downstream to a natural riffle head
just below station 9+00. The two constructed riffles within this low -gradient reach (one at station 4+86 to
5+36 in the restoration reach; the other at station 6+97 to 7+25 in the enhancement reach) currently
function more like rocky runs than as riffles. Substrate samples at the riffle and pool cross-sections in the
restoration reach are consistent with the design plan (Figure 8).
The 50 -foot riparian zones along the E2 reaches (2,678 ft) were treated, seeded, and planted in November
2015. The P2 restoration and E1 enhancement reaches were treated and seeded at that time, but no trees
were planted in those areas to be disturbed until after construction work was completed in May 2017.
Native hardwood trees were planted at an average 10 -foot spacing (430 trees per acre) in the riparian
buffer, and previously planted areas showing low tree survival received supplemental planting to meet that
density during Feb -May 2017 (Table 4). Some areas along the middle and southern enhancement reaches
with existing canopy trees required fewer new planted trees. Some species proposed in the mitigation plan
were not available in sufficient numbers, and other suitable native Piedmont floodplain species were
substituted. Power augers and shovels were used to dig planting holes for gallon -size and tubeling trees,
and a tree fertilizer pellet was added to each planting hole. Live stakes of Black Willow and Silky
Dogwood were planted along all disturbed or bare stream banks.
Eight CVS monitoring plots (10 x 10 meters) are installed at representative locations throughout the 50 -ft
riparian buffer area. The two northernmost plots are in the graded area where trees were planted in May
2017 after stream construction, and the other six plots are in non -graded areas that were first planted in Nov
2015. Plot corners are marked with steel conduit pipe, and planted trees within each plot are mapped and
identified following the CVS Level 2 protocol (Lee et al, 2008). These eight plots yielded 10 to 13 planted
trees during the May 2017 as -built monitoring (Table 5). Most plots also have native volunteer seedlings,
especially Green Ash, Sweetgum, Red Maple, and Persimmon.
Herbaceous vegetation is dense throughout the non -graded areas, with a diverse mix of native volunteer
groundcover species in addition to those seeded in Nov 2015; Fescue is no longer a dominant component. The
Tar River Headwaters Stream Mitigation Bank Page 8 of 40

northernmost two acres where construction grading occurred along the stream restoration reach has sparse
groundcover and dense clayey soil; this area will be monitored closely to assess whether future soil
amendments, re -seeding, or supplemental planting may be needed. Invasive species occurrences are minor;
scattered patches of Chinese Privet, Multiflora Rose, and Japanese Honeysuckle occur mainly along the
easement perimeter fence and in some of the wooded stream bank areas south of the road crossing. Many of
these were sprayed in 2015-2016, and treatment will continue as needed. No issues with stream instability,
