MORGAN CREEK RESTORATION SITE MITIGATION PLAN
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Restoration Systems has completed construction on degraded reaches of Morgan Creek and three
' of its tributaries located within Haywood County, North Carolina. The project is located within
the French Broad River Basin, Cataloging Unit 06010106, specifically within the targeted local
watershed 06010106020040. The primary objectives of the project were to improve local water
' quality, contribute to the improvement of the water quality of the overall watershed, and restore
aquatic and riparian habitat. Specifically, these objectives were achieved by restoring and
enhancing approximately 3,900 linear feet of stream, restoring approximately 9.8 acres of
' riparian buffers, and restoring and enhancing approximately 1.11 acres of wetlands.
General Site Conditions
' The Morgan Creek project site is in a rural setting in the Blue Ridge hydrophysiographic
ecoregion and currently used to pasture cattle with woody vegetation confined to isolated areas.
The surrounding area is rural in nature, with limited residential development. The drainage area
' of Morgan Creek ranges from 0.47 mil to 0.73 mil with its tributaries ranging from 0.004 mil to
0.18 miz. Prior to restoration, the existing channels were highly degraded due to unrestricted
livestock access, channelization activities, and lack of riparian vegetation.
' Restoration Approach and Implementation
The restoration design was based on a Priority Level 1 and 2 approach to restore proper channel
' dimension and allow for appropriate sediment transport. Restoration practices on this project
were implemented with the intent of minimizing unnecessary disturbance to adjacent land and to
protect mature riparian vegetation where it existed. The constructed stream profile has restored
' stable bed morphology including appropriate riffle-pool sequencing. Cross-vanes, J-Hook vanes,
and in-stream log structures have been integrated into the channel to provide grade control,
maintain stable streambanks while the riparian vegetation establishes, and provide in-stream
' habitat. Sod mats were harvested onsite and were used to stabilize the newly graded
streambanks. Excavated materials from the constructed channel were used to backfill around in-
stream structures and to build riffles with a natural substrate and function. Restoration activities
' have resulted in 3,711 linear feet of restored stream channel, 558 linear feet of stream
enhancement, 0.6 acres of restored wetlands, and 0.46 acres of enhanced wetlands for a total of
4,083 stream mitigation units (SMU's) and 0.83 wetland mitigation units (WMU's).
' Native woody and herbaceous species have been used to establish at minimum a fifty-foot wide
riparian buffer on each side of the restored reach. The riparian buffer consists of zones in which
' different woody species were planted. Live stakes of appropriate native species were used along
the lower stream banks. Natural stabilization was achieved via establishment of temporary
ground cover and planting of native herbs and grass seeding. Project activities have restored 9.8
acres of riparian buffer.
' The ecological benefits of this restoration include a decrease to sediment entering the watershed
via bank erosion; increased aquatic habitat through the construction of a stable channel and
' appropriate in-stream features; improved terrestrial habitat through the eradication of invasive
woody species in the riparian area and the planting of a diverse, native riparian buffer, allowing
- NCEEP i February 2009
MORGAN CREEK RESTORATION SITE MITIGATION PLAN
for better filtration of nutrients entering the stream via groundwater contributions; and improved
management of extreme flow events.
Monitoring
Monitoring will consist of the collection and analysis of data about stream stability, riparian
vegetation survivability, and ground water hydrology to assist in the evaluation of the project in
meeting established restoration objectives. Specifically, the success of channel modification,
erosion control, and re-vegetation parameters will be assessed using measurements of stream
dimension, pattern, and profile, site photographs, and vegetation sampling. Also included in the
data collection is stage data from on-site stream gages to document the frequency and magnitude
of high-flow events and continuous-reading water level monitors to document ground water
hydrology in the wetland restoration areas. Monitoring will be conducted annually for a
minimum of five years or until success criteria are met. The first scheduled monitoring event
will be conducted at the end of the first full growing season of 2009.
If remedial action is deemed necessary during the monitoring period, the area and/or source of
instability will be assessed and appropriate actions will be recommended. This includes, but is
not limited to bank erosion, in-stream structure failure, down-cutting of the stream channel, and
excessive disease or mortality of the riparian vegetation. No issues have arisen since completion
of construction which require consideration or attention.

MORGAN CREEK RESTORATION SITE
MITIGATION PLAN
1.0 PROJECT GOALS, BACKGROUND, AND ATTRIBUTES
The purpose of the Morgan Creek Stream Restoration Site (Site) is to restore degraded
sections of Morgan Creek and three of its tributaries located in Haywood County, North
Carolina. This Plan presents information regarding the existing (pre-restoration) site and
watershed conditions, the restoration approach for the project, the resulting linear footage
of restored channel and acreage of restored buffer, the monitoring protocol, remedial
action plan and detailed as-built drawings of the post-construction site.
1.1 General Project Description
Morgan Creek is located approximately 10 miles northeast of the City of Waynesville in
rural Haywood County, North Carolina (Figure 1: Vicinity Map). The site consists of
approximately 9.8 acres of floodplain, approximately 3,900 linear feet of stream
designated as Morgan Creek and its tributaries, and 0.51 acres of existing wetlands
(Figure 2: Project Map). The stream reaches consist of perennial and intermittent, first
and second order streams that have historically been impacted by riparian and bank
vegetation removal, channel straightening, unrestricted livestock access, and agricultural
land-use practices. Existing land use within the site consists of forested areas and pasture
land. The site is located within moderate to steep, sloping colluvial valleys and
elevations range from approximately 2500 ft. to 2625 ft. (NGVD). Past land
management activities have consisted of timber harvesting with subsequent land clearing
for agricultural uses including cattle grazing. The land outside of the conservation
easement remains in active agricultural production.
1.1.1 USGS and NCDWQ River Basin Designations
The project reach is located in the Pigeon River watershed of the French Broad River
Basin (United States Geological Survey (USGS) 14-digit Hydrologic Unit
06010106020040) within North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) sub-basin
04-03-05. This sub-basin is primarily forested, although agriculture accounts for a
significant portion of the sub-basin. Morgan Creek drains into Fines Creek at the
downstream end of the Site, which in turn flows to the Pigeon River five miles farther
downstream.
1.1.2 NCDWQ Surface Water Classification
Morgan Creek in the vicinity of the Site is assigned a best usage classification of C by the
NCDWQ and as such there are no restrictions on watershed development or types of
discharge. These waters are suitable for aquatic life propagation and survival, fishing,
wildlife, secondary recreation, and agriculture. Secondary recreation includes wading,
boating, and other uses not involving human body contact with water on an organized or
frequent basis.
Fines Creek, from its source to the Pigeon River, as well as the portion of the Pigeon
River located approximately 5 miles south of the SITE, are listed on the DWQ final 2006
303(d) list. Streams which are included in the 303(d) list do not meet water quality
standards or have impaired uses. Listing of these streams likely results from non-point
NCEEP 1 February 2009
MORGAN CREEK RESTORATION SITE
MITIGATION PLAN
agriculture and urban runoff, and potentially from industrial point source discharges.
' Specifically, the reason given for the listing of Fines Creek and the Pigeon River is
"Impaired Biological Integrity."
' 1.2 Project Goals and Objectives
The primary goals of the Morgan Creek Stream Restoration Project are to:
• Restore aquatic and riparian habitat within the upper portions of the Morgan
' Creek watershed.
• Restore geomorphic stability to the subject stream reaches.
' These goals will be accomplished through the following objectives:
• Restoration of approximately ten acres of Montane Alluvial Forest along both
sides of Morgan Creek.
' • Removing nonpoint sources of pollution associated with cattle raising and
agricultural activities including the exclusion of livestock from Morgan Creek and
adjacent floodplain and establishing a native woody riparian buffer (at least 50'
' wide) adjacent to streams and wetlands to treat surface runoff which may be laden
with sediment and/or agricultural pollutants from the adjacent landscape.
• Reestablishing stream stability and the capacity to transport watershed flows and
' sediment loads by restoring a stable dimension, pattern, and profile supported by
natural in-stream habitat and grade/bank stabilization structures.
• Promoting floodwater attenuation through a) reconnecting bankfull stream flows
' to the abandoned floodplain terrace, b) restoring secondary, entrenched tributaries
thereby reducing floodwater velocities, c) restoring floodplain wetlands, thereby
increasing the storage capacity for floodwaters within the Site, and d) revegetating
' floodplains to increase frictional resistance on floodwaters crossing the Site.
• Improving aquatic habitat by enhancing stream bed variability and the use of in-
stream structures.
' • Providing wildlife habitat including seepage slope wetlands.
These accomplishments will result in:
' • Restoration and enhancement of 4083 Stream Mitigation Units.
• Providing 0.83 Wetland Mitigation Units.
• Protecting the Site with a perpetual conservation easement.
' 1.3 Project Structure
' The project is illustrated in Figure 2 which depicts stream restoration and enhancement
reaches for Morgan Creek and each of its tributaries. The project structure is tabulated in
the corresponding Table 1 (See Appendix A).
1.4 Restoration Type and Approach
Restoration and enhancement practices implemented on this project were designed to
t minimize unnecessary disturbance to adjacent land and to protect mature riparian
vegetation where it exists. Consideration was given to the potential functional lift
provided by restoration activities in comparison to the functional lift that could be
NCEEP 2 February 2009
MORGAN CREEK RESTORATION SITE
MITIGATION PLAN
realized through the natural process of channel evolution. Included in this consideration
was an attempt to determine the disturbance and sedimentation that could occur as a
result of this natural process. Where restoration was determined to be warranted,
consideration was given to which reaches could best be served by maintaining as much of
the existing channel pattern as possible.
The proposed reaches of Morgan Creek and its tributaries are designed as Type B4 and
Type 134a streams. This channel configuration provides the most stable and natural form
in the moderately sloping colluvial valleys that are found throughout the Site.
Additionally, since broad alluvial valleys are not found within the Site, the lower
sinuosity of the Type B4 streams will result in minimizing grading and earthwork
activities. The proposed channel dimensions, patterns, and profiles are based on
hydraulic relationships and morphologic dimensionless ratios of the reference reaches.
The installation of rock and wood structures was utilized throughout the restored reaches
of the Site. Rock and log structures were installed in runs for grade control to prevent
headcut formation. Log vanes with rootwads were installed in meander bends to direct
the flow away from the outside of the bend and provide toe and bank protection. Sod
transplants were used extensively throughout the project to stabilize newly constructed
channel banks. On-site material including sod, bed material, boulders, and logs were
used to the maximum extent possible.
Proposed wetland areas are underlain by hydric soils but are non jurisdictional due to
insufficient hydrology. Channel restoration reestablished a connection between the
floodplain and the channel. Overbank flooding and better utilization of nearby seepage
hydrology will provide the needed hydrology to sustain these hydric soil zones as
jurisdictional wetlands. Areas where jurisdictional wetlands existed have been enhanced
by the planting of appropriate woody and herbaceous species. Each wetland restoration
and enhancement area has been planted with species appropriate to the ecoregion and will
promote the functionality of the wetlands as integral parts of the riparian corridor.
1.5 Project History, Contacts and Attribute Data
The summary of the project history, contacts, and attribute data is tabulated in Tables 2,
3, and 4 in Appendix A.
2.0 SUCCESS CRITERIA
2.1 Morphologic Parameters and Channel Stability
Success criteria context provided by NCEEP Mitigation Plan Document Guidance:
Restored and enhanced streams should demonstrate morphologic stability to be
considered successful. Stability does not equate to an absence of change, but
rather to sustainable rates of change or stable patterns of variation. Restored
streams often demonstrate some level of initial adjustment in the several months
that follow construction and some change/variation subsequent to that is also to be
expected. However, the observed change should not be unidirectional such that it
NCEEP 3 February 2009
MORGAN CREEK RESTORATION SITE MITIGATION PLAN
represents a robust trend. If some trend is evident, it should be very modest or
' indicate migration to another stable form.
2.1.1 Dimension
' Cross-section measurements should indicate little change from the as-built cross-sections.
If changes do occur, they will be evaluated to determine whether the adjustments are
associated with settling and increased stability or whether they indicate movement
' towards an unstable condition. The following thresholds will be considered indicators of
concern:
• Width/depth ratio increases more than 10 percent,
' • Bank height ratio increases more than 25 percent.
2.1.2 Pattern and Profile
' Measurements and calculated values should indicate stability with little deviation from
as-built conditions and established morphological ranges for the restored stream type.
' Annual measurements should indicate stable bed-form features with little change from
the as-built survey. The pools should maintain their depth with flatter water surface
slopes, while the riffles should remain shallower and steeper. The following thresholds
' will be considered indicators of concern:
• Riffle slope increases more than 50 percent,
• Profile scarp formation greater than 20 percent of mean depth,
' • Pool maximum depth decreases more than 20 percent,
• Pool/riffle feature shifts along the profile of more than the equivalent of one
bankfull width.
' 2.1.3 Substrate
Calculated D50 and D84 values should indicate coarser size class distribution of bed
' materials in riffles and finer size class distribution in pools. Generally, it is anticipated
that the bed material will coarsen over time. The following thresholds will be considered
indicators of concern:
' • D50 or D84 value decreases more than 30 percent,
• Percent sand increases more than 50 percent.
2.1.4 Sediment Transport
Depositional features should be consistent with a stable stream that is effectively
managing its sediment load. Point bar and inner berm features, if present, should develop
' without excessive encroachment of the channel. Lateral and mid-channel bar features
should typically not be present and if so only in isolated instances.
' 2.2 Vegetation
Riparian vegetation monitoring shall be conducted for a minimum of five years to ensure
that success criteria are met per USACE guidelines. Accordingly, success criteria will
' consist of a minimum survival of 320 stems per acre by the end of the Year 3 monitoring
period and a minimum of 260 stems per acre at the end of Year 5. If monitoring indicates
NCEEP 4 February 2009
MORGAN CREEK RESTORATION SITE
MIT/GATION PLAN
either that the specified survival rate is not being met or the development of detrimental
conditions (i.e., invasive species, diseased vegetation), appropriate corrective actions will
be developed and implemented.
2.3 Hydrology
Surface water monitored data and calculated return intervals should indicate the
occurrence of a bankfull event during a minimum of two of the five monitored years. It
should be noted that Tropical Storm Fay (August 2008) produced an approximate 3/4
bankfull flow event while construction was underway. The project also experienced a
half-bankfull event on December 11, 2008.
Ground water hydrology success criteria for the five-year monitoring period will include
a minimum regulatory criterion, comprising saturation (free water) within one foot of the
soil surface for 5 percent of the growing season.
3.0 MONITORING PLAN
Monitoring protocol will follow that outlined within the EEP Site Specific Mitigation
Plan and detailed in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) Stream Mitigation
Guidelines for Monitoring Level I. Vegetation monitoring will follow the CVS-EEP
Protocol for Recording Vegetation (Lee et al. 2006). Monitoring shall consist of the
collection and analysis of stream stability and riparian/stream bank vegetation
survivability data to support the evaluation of the project in meeting established
restoration objectives. Specifically, project monitoring will include measurements of
stream dimension, profile, pattern, bed materials, photo documentation, vegetation
survivability sampling, and stream bankfull return interval.
3.1 Duration
Monitoring shall be conducted annually for a minimum of five years or until success
criteria are met, as required in the guidelines and called for in the contract agreements.
The first scheduled monitoring event will be conducted in 2009 at the end of the first full
growing season following project construction and planting.
3.2 Reporting
A monitoring report will be prepared after all monitoring tasks for each annual
monitoring event are completed. Each report will provide the new monitoring data and
compare the new data against previous findings. Data tables, cross-sections, profiles,
photographs, and other graphics will be included in the report as necessary. Each report
will include a discussion of any significant deviations from the as-built survey and
previous annual measurements, as well as evaluations as to whether the changes indicate
a stable or unstable condition. Each annual monitoring report will be submitted by
December 31St of the year during which the monitoring event was conducted.
NCEEP 5 February 2009
MORGAN CREEK RESTORATION SITE

MITIGATION PLAN
3.3 Hydrology
Monitored stream flow data will be used to evaluate the success of restoring the intended
bankfull return period. Stream gauges have been installed for monitoring flow stage
within the restored reaches. Two crest gauges have been set, both within the monitored
profile reach on Morgan Creek; one at the upstream end of the project, just downstream
of the pipe outfall, and one at the downstream end of the project within the Morgan Creek
enhancement area. Each site visit by the monitoring performer will include inspection
and documentation of the highest stage for the monitoring interval. Following each
inspection the crest gages will be reset and any required maintenance will be performed.
Monitored ground water hydrology will be used to evaluate the success of restored
wetland areas. Continuously recording, ground water monitoring gauges were installed
in accordance with specifications in Installing Monitoring Wells/Piezometers in Wetlands
(NCWRP 1993). Monitoring gauges were set to a depth of approximately 24 inches
below the soil surface. Screened portions of each gauge were surrounded by filter fabric,
buried in screened well sand, and sealed with a bentonite cap to prevent siltation and
surface flow infiltration during floods. Three groundwater gauges were installed in
wetland restoration areas to provide representative coverage of the Site. Hydrological
sampling will be performed in restoration areas during the growing season at intervals
necessary to satisfy the hydrology success criteria within each physiographic landscape
area (USEPA 1990).
3.4 Stream Channel Stability and Geomorphology
The purpose of monitoring is to evaluate the stability of the restored stream. Following
the procedures established in the USDA Forest Service Manual (Harrelson et al 1994)
and the methodologies utilized in the Rosgen stream assessment and classification system
(Rosgen 1994, 1996), data collected will consist of detailed dimension and pattern
measurements, a longitudinal profile(s), and bed materials sampling.
3.4.1 Dimension
' Permanent cross-sections (approximately one per 20 bankfull-width lengths, evenly
divided based upon riffle and pool percentages), have been established and will be used
to evaluate stream dimension. Four riffle and four pool cross-sections have been located
' within the reaches also surveyed as part of the longitudinal profile on Morgan Creek.
One riffle and one pool cross-section has been located on the North Branch monitored
reach. Permanent monuments, recoverable either through field identification or use of
' GPS, have been set at the left and right extents of each cross-section. The cross-section
surveys shall provide a detailed measurement of the stream and banks, to include points
on the adjacent floodplam, at the top of bank, bankfull, at all breaks in slope, the edge of
' water, and thalweg. Subsequently, width-to-depth ratios, entrenchment ratios, and bank
height ratios will be calculated for each cross-section.
3.4.2 Profile
Two longitudinal profiles, each covering a minimum of 20 bankfull-width lengths, have
been established and surveyed. One monitored profile reach is located along Morgan
NCEEP 6 February 2009
MORGAN CREEK RESTORATION SITE
MITIGATION PLAN
Creek measuring approximately 2900 linear feet. A second monitored profile reach
measuring approximately 200 linear feet is located on North Branch. The beginning and
ending points of each measured section has been permanently monumented. Average,
pool, and riffle slopes, as well as pool-to-pool spacing will be calculated using data
collected during the monitoring of these longitudinal profiles.
3.4.3 Pattern
Evaluations of stream pattern, based on valley/stream type, will be developed based upon
measurements of sinuosity, meander width ratio, and radius of curvature (on newly
constructed meanders only for first year monitoring). Calculations will be made of
sinuosity, meander width ratio, radius of curvature/bankfull width ratio, and meander
length/bankfull width ratio.
3.4.4 Bed Materials
Pebble counts will be conducted at each riffle cross section, as well as across the overall
study reach (based upon percentage of riffles and pools) for the purpose of classification
and evaluation of sediment transport. Pebble count data will be plotted by size
distribution in order to assess the D50 and D84 size class.
3.5 Vegetation Monitoring
The Carolina Vegetation Survey - Ecosystem Enhancement Program (CVS-EEP) 2008
protocol for recording vegetation (Lee et. al 2008) will be used to determine the planting
pattern of woody stems with respect to species, spacing, and density as well as to forecast
survivability and growth of planted stems in subsequent monitoring years. Six vegetative
sampling plots were established within the project easement area: five standard (10 x
10m) plots and one non-standard (5 x 20m) plot. Four plots were established in the
stream restoration areas and two within the wetlands area (one in enhancement, one in
restoration).
Plots were placed within the applicable planting zones to capture the heterogeneity of the
designed vegetative communities. However, given that several planting zones were too
narrow to accommodate the standard or non-standard plots, all vegetation plots were
established within the buffer and wetland planting areas. Plot corners were permanently
marked with rebar and recorded during the baseline survey. All planted stems and plot
corners were marked with orange flagging tape to facilitate relocation during subsequent
monitoring years. A reference photograph was taken for each plot at the origin looking
diagonally across the plot to the opposite corner.
3.6 Photograph Reference Points
Photograph reference points (PRPs) have been established to assist in characterizing the
site and to allow qualitative evaluation of the site conditions. The location of each photo
point has been permanently marked in the field and the bearing/orientation of the
photograph is indicated on the As-built plans to allow for consistent repetition. A total of
seventeen (17) PRP's have been established along the restored stream. Ten (10) of these
PRP's have been located upstream of the permanent monitoring cross sections. These
NCEEP 7 February 2009

MITIGATION PLAN
photographs will be taken facing downstream looking at the section, and will show as
much of the banks and channel as possible. The survey tape used for cross-sectional
measurements will be centered in each photograph and the water line will be located near
the lower edge. An effort will be made to consistently photograph the same area in each
subsequent monitoring event.
4.0 MAINTENANCE AND CONTINGENCY PLANS
Recommendations for suggested increased observation, maintenance and/or repair in
problem areas will be made within the Results and Discussion sections of the annual
monitoring reports, based on the data that is collected. Both the vegetation and
morphology sections will include plan views and tables indicating the location of the
problems areas, their severity and possible cause(s).
5.0 AS-BUILTS
The Morgan Creek site construction was completed at the beginning of January 2009 and
' the As-Built survey was completed on January 13, 2009. The survey located the
constructed channel boundaries along with the location of in-stream structures.
Additionally, all permanent monitoring markers were located during the survey. As-Built
' plans have been prepared with this information depicting the pre-construction location of
the channel, the design alignment, and the post-construction location. A half-size set of
the As-Built plans are in Appendix B of this report.

VEGETATION SURVEY

J
Description of Species and Monitoring Protocol
Six vegetation monitoring plots were established and baseline data collection for the ,
Morgan Creek Stream and Wetland Restoration Project occurred on January 22, 2009.
The project site was planted with species characteristic of a Montane Alluvial Forest ,
natural community (Schafale and Weakley, 1990). The reference community is located
within a mesic hardwood forest cove less than five miles to the northwest of the Morgan '
Creek site in Harmon Den. Planting occurred from January 5 - January 9, 2009.
Nineteen species were documented in the baseline monitoring and are listed in Table 1.
However, due to the seasonal timing of baseline vegetation monitoring and the condition t
of several planted stems, not every stem was identified and it is possible that some stems
were misidentified. Taxonomic nomenclature follows Weakley (2008).

Baseline Monitoring Results and Discussion
The Morgan Creek Stream and Wetland Restoration Site has an average of 533 stems per
acre. Across all vegetation plots, baseline monitoring documented a survivability range
of 405 to 729 stems per acre. Of these, approximately 46% have a vigor code of good
and 36% have a vigor code of fair, most of which were Tulip poplar, followed by Silky
dogwood. Nearly 5%, however, had a vigor code of 0 or 1 (dead or unlikely to survive).
' In particular, Plot 3 within the wetland enhancement area had the lowest total stem
density (404 stems per acre), which is still 26% above the minimum criteria. The
following is the stem count for each monitoring plot:
Plot 1 - 647 stems Plot 2 - 445 stems Plot 3 - 404 stems
Plot 4 - 485 stems Plot 5 - 728 stems Plot 6 - 526 stems
Sugar maple and Tulip poplar are among the most frequently occurring species. Most
stems showed no signs of damage since planting recently occurred although some
appeared to have been browsed, most likely by deer or cattle. There are several factors
' that may contribute to the survivability and average number of stems per acre reported
above.
' First, vegetation plots were established in the buffer and wetland planting areas.
Therefore, it is assumed that these zones are representative of the entire stream and
wetland restoration area. While this may largely be true, it is likely that other, smaller
planting zones are underrepresented. For example, if the vegetation plots had captured
streamside vegetation, which is planted at higher densities, planted stem survivability
might be much greater.
' Second, natural woody stems were not recorded for baseline monitoring, but will be
documented during the Year 1 monitoring efforts and will likely increase the total,
' average stem density for the project area.
