Kim's Office Review: Initial concern regarding the transition from Ell to R, several times. High risk where the areas
transition.
Map appears to have a wooded buffer on 90% of the site. Ell and EIII proposed: what is planned for these areas?
Also need to check DW1-D as it transitions to larger river...
My notes:
Field Review:
DW6: Ell- some E1 work needed on this reach. Early successional buffer, some bank erosion issues, not incised
DW2: EI I- ok, watch for flow
DW1-A: Restoration, approach justified, somewhat incised, over wide, hoof shear
DW1-B: El I- large bedrock outcrop, in touch with floodplain, ok with approach here, at end of reach road narrows
buffer width, some credit loss probable
DW1-C: Restoration, reach is more incised, less buffer on both sides
DW1-D: EIII- this a very deep gulley (15 feet) that connects stream to the Yadkin River. There are existing large
trees, would cause more harm than good by trying to step down stream to river, previous reach will have a rock cross
vane at the end of the reach to add stability and ensure the gulley does not headcut up stream. Plan is to plant outer
20 -to 30 feet. I don't believe a 5:1 ratio is appropriate, I would suggest something higher, at least 7.5:1, while it would
be advantageous to have the project connect to the river, that would probably be the only value.
A lot of privet throughout site, also, timber was cut a couple of years ago, there is cattle access throughout and alot of
early successional veg coming up. A number of different areas of slope erosion (because of timbering) throughout
site. Very rough -looking site.
