Additionally, there are several other small, unnamed tributaries to UTWF that will be restored, and a level spreader will be constructed to remove an `on-line' drainage ditch. There are five landowners participating in this project that lies south of Kernersville, NC. The restored streams have been divided into several reaches dependent upon its treatment and location on the restoration project. Table 1 summarizes the reach segments and their proposed restoration treatment. Table la.

In areas where the 50-foot buffer extended outside of easement, the easement boundary was defaulted to as the buffer restoration boundary. # Buffer preservation includes the entire conservation easement area of Main Stem - Reach 1, UT-A, and UT-B; this acreage is not for compensatory mitigation credit. UT West Fork Deep River Final Executive Summary (EEP Project No. 442) Page 1 of 2 February 2009 • There are several project goals and objectives that are applicable to all of the stream reaches. These goals and objectives are to: • Improve water quality by: o providing stable pattern, dimension and profile to pass appropriate storm events and their sediment; o incorporating appropriate slopes on the stream banks to reduce erosion and sedimentation; o planting a diverse riparian vegetation for the uptake of nutrients for Main Stem - Reach 2a, Main Stem - Reach 2b, UT-A, UT-B, UT-C and UT-D and appropriate vegetation in the Duke Power transmission line; o installing a stormwater best management practice (level spreader) to eliminate the direct conduit (drainage ditch) of nutrients into UT-D and Main Stem - Reach 2b; and, o providing appropriate stream crossings on the Royle Tract (ford crossing on Main Stem - Reach 2b, pedestrian crossing on Main Stem - Reach 2b and pipe replacement on UT-C); • Provide flood storage by laying the stream banks back and providing greater access to a floodplain for Main Stem - Reach 2a, Main Stem - Reach 2b, UT-A, UT-B, UT-C and UT-D • • • Improve habitat for fish and invertebrate species by: o including in-stream structures that promote and maintain pools; and, o incorporating appropriate slopes on the stream banks to reduce bank erosion and associated direct influxes of fine sediments as well as to allow for vegetation to provide shade and cover; • Provide an enhanced riparian buffer for Main Stem - Reach 1 by removing the exotic, invasive vegetation from the buffer.

The project is located off of Sandy Ridge Road Exit (Exit 208) of I-40 between Winston-Salem and Greensboro. From Sandy Ridge Road, travel approximately 3.5 miles and turn left onto Squire Davis Road. There is a temporary construction easement entryway located just northwest of the powerline right-of-way on Squire Davis Road. Unnamed tributary C (UT-C) of UTWF is located at the end of the construction access. Site access may also be obtained via the property of Mr. Rafe and Marianne Royle (1609 Squire Davis Road, Kernersville, NC 27284). 1.2 USGS Hydrologic Unit Code and NCDWQ River Basin Designations The UT to West Fork Deep River project area and associated tributaries are located within the US Geologic Survey (USGS) Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03030003010010 and NC Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) sub-basin 030608. The entire project is located in the Cape Fear River Basin in North Carolina. 1.3 Project Vicinity Map Figure 1 in the appendix shows the project vicinity. The site is located along the Forsyth/ Guildford County line southwest of Kernersville, North Carolina. • 1.4 Project Components and Structure The stream restoration project involves several restoration treatments. These treatments are dependent upon the existing condition of the project study streams and where these channels are in their channel evolution. Table 1 summarizes the stream reaches and their proposed mitigation treatments. is UT West Fork Deep River Page 4 of 33 Final Restoration Plan (EEP Project No. 442) February 2009 n U Table la.

Summary of Restoration Levels for Stream and Buffer Restoration T Hurter restoration area includes a corridor spanning 50-feet from the proposed top of banks on both sides of the stream (existing top of bank in the case of UT-C) along Main Stem Reaches 2a and 2b, UT-C and UT-D. In areas . where the 50-foot buffer extended outside of easement, the easement boundary was defaulted to as the buffer restoration boundary. # Buffer preservation includes the entire conservation easement area of Main Stem - Reach 1, UT-A, and UT-B; this acreage is not for compensatory mitigation credit. Main Stem - Reach 1 of the UTWF has no stream treatment as part of this stream restoration project. The stream reach on this part of the project has an intact, extensive riparian forest. The conservation buffer width that EEP has included in on this portion of the stream restoration project is substantial, and the width ranges from 64 to 345 feet. The decision was made to conduct enhancement of the existing riparian buffer as there are several invasive species that exist in the buffer. 2.0 WATERSHED CHARACTERIZATION • 2.1 Drainage Area, project area, and easement acreage Table 2 summarizes the drainage areas for the stream reaches that will have restoration treatments applied to them. UTWF drainage area totals approximately 3.27 square miles (2,093 acres) at the downstream end of the project. Drainage areas for the remainder of the reaches are listed in Table 2 below. It should be noted that it was impossible to delineate a watershed boundary for UT-A separate from UT-B. The UT-A drainage area listed in Table 2 is an estimate. The project area encompasses 17.3 acres. UT West Fork Deep River Final Restoration Plan (EEP Project No. 442) Page 5 of 33 February 2009 r1 U Table 2.

Based on a review of aerial mapping, the following land use practices were identified along with their respective acreages (Table 3). Table 3. Land Use Practices in the Proiect Studv Area EEP Proiect No. 442 Land Use Acreage Percentage of Land Use Forested 648 34 Residential (low density) 76 4 Residential (medium density) 423 23 Open water 9 0.5 Agriculture 710 38 lvote that J% of the watershed is impervious. 0 2.2 Surface Water Classification / Water Quality Streams located within the project study area (PSA) all drain to West Fork Deep River. The aforementioned stream is located in the Cape Fear River Basin, USGS Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03030003, and NCDWQ Stream Index # 17-3- (0.3). West Fork Deep River is currently classified as Water Supply IV (WS-IV). Water from streams with this classification are used as a water supply for drinking, culinary, or food processing where a designation of WS-I, -II, or -III is not feasible. Additionally, these waters are protected for Class C uses. Typically, WS-IV streams are located in moderate to highly developed watersheds. UT West Fork Deep River empties into the Deep River and then enters Oak Hollow Reservoir, a water supply for the Town of High Point, NC. After the Oak Hollow Reservoir, water eventually flows into the Randleman Lake Reservoir, a water supply for the Triad of NC, including the City of Greensboro, City of High Point and surrounding populations. The West Fork Deep River is located within the Randleman Lake Water supply Watershed. The Randleman Lake Buffer rules were implemented in January 2000 as a protective measure of this water supply watershed, including the project study reach. The rules were implemented to address the potential for future nutrient problems in the watershed. The buffer rules addressed stormwater, buffer and wastewater discharge components. Intermittent or perennial hydrologically connected waterbodies located within this watershed are protected for two major functions related to riparian buffer areas, (1) maintaining diffuse sheet flow from overland stormwater discharge and (2) retaining riparian buffer pollutant removal functions. Protection of these waters occurs 50 feet from top-of-bank (TOB) on either side of the channel. Stream • restoration activities that encroach upon zone 2 (20-50 feet from TOB) are exempt, and activities UT West Fork Deep River Page 6 of 33 Final Restoration Plan (EEP Project No. 442) February 2009 that occur in zone 1 (0-20 feet from TOB) are allowable as long as best management practices • (BMP's) to protect surface waters from erosion and excessive nutrient inputs are maintained. The Watershed Restoration Plan for the Cape Fear River Basin states the potential causes of water quality degradation in this West Fork Deep River watershed are sediment and nutrients. This report also states that potential sources of water quality degradation include non-urban development and agriculture. The October 2005 Cape Fear Basinwide Water Quality Plan states that West Fork Deep River, from SR 1850 to SR 1818 (0.5 miles), is Impaired for aquatic life. The reason for impairment is violation of the turbidity standard. West Fork Deep River is currently listed on the 2008 Draft NC Impaired Waters List (303 (d)). It is impaired from its source to a point 0.3 miles downstream of Guilford County SR 1850 (Sandy Ridge Rd). Fish and benthic samples were collected in 2004, and resulting biotic indices from this data concluded that there was an impairment of unknown etiology. 2.3 Physiography, Geology, and Soils The PSA is located in the Southern Piedmont Region of Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) Major Land Resource Areas of the US (MLRA) # 136. Parent material consisting of metamorphic and igneous rocks dominates this region which contains hilly to rolling uplands with defined drainage patterns. Elevation ranges are from 330 to 1310 feet above sea level. Dominant soil orders in this MLRA consist of Ultisols, Inceptisols, and Alfisols (MRCS 2006). • Soils found along UT to West Fork, as shown in the USDA soil surveys for Forsyth and Guilford Counties, include Wedhadkee soils and Chewacla sandy loam. Wedhadkee soils (Typic Fluvaquents) are poorly drained, hydric soils found on stream floodplains, generally in long bands. Slopes range from 0 to 2%. Permeability is moderate and available water capacity is medium. The seasonal high water table is at the surface for 2 to 6 months annually. Chewacla sandy loam (Fluvaquentic Dystrochrepts) is a somewhat poorly drained, hydric soil that occurs in long, flat areas parallel to the major streams on the flood plains. Slopes are less than 2%. Permeability is moderate and available water capacity is medium. The seasonal high water table is 0.5 to 1.5 feet below the surface. A review of the project study area in 2005 as part of a feasibility study for this stream restoration project noted no wetlands on any properties intended for stream restoration despite the hydric soils present on the soils maps. Another review of the project study area was conducted for the updated Ecological Resources Technical Report finalized in September 2008, and this review noted no jurisdictional wetlands present on the properties intended for stream restoration 2.4 Historical Land Use and Development Trends Land use within the watershed is historically rural, dominated by agriculture and livestock; however, recent housing developments have changed the nature of the watershed. The predominant land uses within the watershed consist of residential, agriculture, and mixed forest. The majority of the project's watershed lies in Forsyth County. A comprehensive development plan has not been developed for the area, and there are no planned initiatives to create a . comprehensive development plan for Southeast Forsyth County Area. UT West Fork Deep River Page 7 of 33 Final Restoration Plan (EEP Project No. 442) February 2009 • Since the initial feasibility study in 2003, there was been little development in the watershed. As the watershed continues to develop in the coming years, the drainages will experience additional runoff and a steeper hydrograph following storm events. The additional runoff and steeper hydrograph following storm events can lead to increase rates of enlargement in incised channels; however, channels with adequate floodplain, flood storage and grade control are more likely to remain stable. There is a considerable amount of sediment moving through the UT West Fork Deep River watershed. The likely cause of this sediment is past land use practices where watershed drainages were relocated to accommodate the preferred land use; however, there is no direct evidence that Reach 1, Reach 2 (a or b), UT-A, UT-B, UT-C or UT-D have been moved as there are no discernable relic channels within the acquired conservation easements. These drainages in the watershed now have trees along the banks, but they remain unstable moving slowly through the stream evolution process. It is difficult to predict how long it will take for these drainages to become stable as the drainages continue to widen and aggrade in conjunction with debris jams and other erosion processes. 2.5 Endangered / Threatened Species The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) protects plants and animals with the federal status designations of Endangered, Threatened, Proposed, or Experimental (either essential or non- essential) under the 1973 Endangered Species Act. Four federally-protected species are listed by the USFWS as occurring in Forsyth and Guilford Counties (USFWS 2008). Table 4 provides detailed information concerning each species, and a species description follows the table with a biological conclusion provided for each species. Table 4. Forsyth and Guilford County Federally Protected S ecies Common Name Scientific Name Status Habitat Present Biological Conclusion Bald Eagle Haliaeetus leucocephalus BGPA No No Effect Red-Cockaded Woodpecker Picoides borealis E No No Effect Small-anthered Bittercress Cardamine micranthera E No No Effect Small whorled pogonia Isotria medeoloides T No No Effect 1=threatened, E=endangered BGPA= Bald Eagle Protection Act, which replaced the Endangered status as of August 2007 Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) The bald eagle is a large raptor with a white head and dark brown body. The body plumage is dark-brown to chocolate-brown in color and can be identified by the flat wing soar. Eagle nests are found in close proximity to a clear flight path to water (within a half mile) near the largest living tree in an area that has an open view of the surrounding land. Human disturbance can sometimes cause eagles to abandon otherwise suitable habitat. The breeding season for the bald eagle begins in December or January and typical food includes fish, coots, herons, and wounded ducks. Biological Conclusion: No effect North Carolina Center for Geographic Information and Analysis (NCCGIA) GIS Natural Heritage Element Occurrence layers were queried for federally listed species in the PSA. No occurrences of individuals or population occurrences of bald eagle were found (NCCGIA 2006). . Additionally, no individuals were encountered during the field assessment. The distance from the UT West Fork Deep River Page 8 of 33 Final Restoration Plan (EEP Project No. 442) February 2009 study area to the nearest lake (Oak Hollow Lake) is approximately 2.0 miles. Implementation of • the stream restoration project will have no effect on the bald eagle. Red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis) The red-cockaded woodpecker is 18 to 20 centimeters long with a wing span of 35 to 38 centimeters. There are black and white horizontal stripes on its back and its cheeks and under parts are white. Its flanks are black streaked. The cap and stripe on the side of the neck and the throat are black. The male has a small red spot on each side of the black cap. After the first post fledgling molt, fledgling males have a red crown patch. This woodpecker's diet is composed mainly of insects which include ants, beetles, wood-boring insects, caterpillars, and corn ear worms if available. About 16 to 18 percent of the diet includes seasonal wild fruit. For nesting/roosting habitat, open stands of pine containing trees 60 years old and older. Red- cockaded woodpeckers need live, large older pines in which to excavate their cavities. Longleaf pines (Pinus palustris) are most commonly used, but other species of southern pine are also acceptable. Dense stands (stands that are primarily hardwoods, or that have a dense hardwood understory) are avoided. Foraging habitat is provided in pine and pine hardwood stands 30 years old or older with foraging preference for pine trees 10 inches or larger in diameter. In good, moderately-stocked, pine habitat, sufficient foraging substrate can be provided on 80 to 125 acres. Biological Conclusion: No Effect Habitat for the red-cockaded woodpecker consists of old open pine stands for nesting and younger pine forest for foraging. No habitat for the red-cockaded woodpecker was found along the project study area as the project's terrestrial communities are remnant bottomland hardwood • forest and disturbed/pasture. No individuals were detected during the site assessment. The on- line maps of the NC Natural Heritage Program were assessed on June 5, 008, and this review did not any occurrence of red-cockaded woodpeckers within one (1) miles of the proposed project. Habitat requirements for the red-cockaded woodpecker are not located within the project study area; therefore, implementation of the stream restoration project will have no effect on the red- cockaded woodpecker. Small-anthered bittercress (Cardamine micranthera) This small flowering plant reaches 8-16 inches tall, white flowers with anthers 02 inch long and petals .05-08 inch wide; distinguished from the similar Cardamine rotundifolia by its much smaller nearly round anthers (instead of oblong), smaller flowers, and more angulate and nonclasping leaves. Habitat for the small-anthered bittercress consists of seepages, wet rock crevices, streambanks, sandbars, and wet woods along small streams. The small-anthered bittercress has been found only in the Dan River drainage basin. In the project study area, there were no wetland habitat areas, and no individuals were encountered during the site assessment. Additionally, North Carolina Center for Geographic Information and Analysis (NCCGIA) GIS Natural Heritage Element Occurrence layers were queried for federally listed species in the PSA. No occurrences of individuals or population occurrences of small-anthered bittercress were found (NCCGIA 2006). Biological Conclusion: No Effect All populations of small-anthered bittercress are found within the Dan River Drainage (NC • Natural Heritage Program, 2006). The UT to West Fork Study stream restoration site lies within the Cape River Basin. The on-line maps of the NC Natural Heritage Program were assessed on ITT West Fork Deep River Page 9 of 33 Final Restoration Plan (EEP Project No. 442) February 2009 June 5, 2008, and this review did not any occurrence of small-anthered bittercress within one (1) miles of the proposed project. The drainage requirements are not meet to support the small- 40 anthered bittercress, therefore, implementation of the stream restoration project will have no effect on the small-anthered bittercress. Small whorled pogonia (Isotria medeoloides) Small whorled pogonia is a perennial with long, pubescent roots and a smooth, hollow stem 9.5 to 25 centimeters (cm) tall terminating in a whorl of 5 or 6 light green, elliptical leaves that are somewhat pointed and measure up to 8 by 4 cm. A flower, or occasionally two flowers, is produced at the top of the stem. Flowering occurs from about mid-May to mid-June, with the flowers apparently lasting only a few days to a week or so. In North Carolina, this species is typically found in montane oak-hickory or acidic cove forests. The understory structure and composition of occupied sites can be quite variable, ranging from dense rhododendron thickets to open/sparse shrub and sub-shrub strata. Herbaceous cover tends to be sparse, however at least two sites are characterized by fairly dense stands of New York fern (Thelypteris noveboracensis). Sites currently or historically known to support small whorled pogonia have elevations that range from 2000 to 4000 feet. Biological Conclusion: No Effect Elevations within and along reaches within the PSA were from 850-900 feet above sea level. Habitat for the small whorled pogonia consists of montane oak-hickory or acidic cove forest at elevations ranging from 2000-4000 feet. No habitat for the small whorled pogonia was found along the project study area. The field assessment occurred in late April, 2008 which is not in the official flowering period for this specie. Terrestrial communities located on the restoration site are remnant bottomland hardwood forest and disturbed/pasture. No individuals were encountered • during the site assessment. Additionally, North Carolina Center for Geographic Information and Analysis (NCCGIA) GIS Natural Heritage Element Occurrence layers were queried for federally listed species in the PSA. No occurrences of individuals or population occurrences of Small whorled pogonia were found (NCCGIA 2006). Implementation of the stream restoration project will have no effect on the small whorled pogonia. The USFWS list for Forsyth County notes existence of the bog turtle in the county. The USFWS lists the bog turtle as threatened due to is similarity of appearance. The bog turtle is not afforded any federal protection under the ESA. The following description of the bog turtle, and a summary of its potential presence in the project study area is noted. Bog Turtle (Clemmys muhlenbergia) Bog turtles are 3 to 4 'h inches in length and range in color from light brown to ebony. This turtle has a conspicuous bright orange, yellow or red blotch found on each side of the head. The bog turtle is typically found in mossy, bogs and marshy meadows, and small wetlands along creeks (NCNHP, 2006). The project study area is comprised of fragmented riparian forest, roadside/disturbed land, and former agricultural land. Bog turtles inhabit slow, shallow, muck-bottomed rivulets of sphagnum bogs, calcareous fens, marshy/sedge-tussock meadows, spring seeps, wet cow pastures, and shrub swamps; the habitat usually contains an abundance of sedges or mossy cover. The turtles depend on a mosaic of microhabitats for foraging, nesting, basking, hibernation, and shelter (USFWS 2000). "Unfragmented riparian systems that are sufficiently dynamic to allow the natural creation of open habitat are needed to compensate for ecological succession" (USFWS 2000). Beaver, deer, and cattle may be instrumental in maintaining the essential open-canopy wetlands (USFWS • 2000). UT West Fork Deep River Page 10 of 33 Final Restoration Plan (EEP Project No. 442) February 2009 Habitat for this turtle includes bogs, marshy meadows, and wetland areas along creeks. In the is project study area, there were no wetland habitat areas and no individuals were encountered during the site assessment. Additionally, North Carolina Center for Geographic Information and Analysis (NCCGIA) GIS Natural Heritage Element Occurrence layers were queried for federally listed species in the PSA. No occurrences of individuals or population occurrences of bog turtle were found (NCCGIA 2006). 2.6 Cultural Resources The NC Department of Cultural Resources State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) was contacted by postal mail on May 27, 2008 concerning the proposed stream restoration project. SHPO replied, in a letter dated June 11, 2008, that `no historic resources would be affected by the project'. SHPO had no comment on the project as a whole. 2.7 Potential Constraints 2.7.1 Property Ownership and Boundary No specific constraints pertinent to the proposed restoration exist due to the landowners' cooperation with the restoration occurring on their property. There are five landowners along the project, and Duke Power has a transmission line across the Main Stem (Reach 2), UT-A and UT- B. There is a power line crossing along UT-D on the Royle Tract, but this section of UT-D is located upstream of the area planned for restoration. The Main Stem, including Reach 1, 2a and 2b, flows through land owned by each of the five • landowners. UT-A and UT-13 lie on the Jerry Ring Tract. UT-C and UT-D lie on the Royle Tract. Ecosystem Enhancement Program acquired the conservation easements on all of the tracts except the Royle Tract. This conservation easement was acquired by the North Carolina Department of Transportation. The Royle Tract contains a conservation easement on the entire tract in addition to the Conservation Easement acquired by the North Carolina Department of Transportation. The other easement is administered by the Piedmont Land Conservancy. Other features on the Royle Tract include: a ford crossing of UTWF in Reach 2b; a ditch which empties into UT-D; a pipe crossing/gravel road at the beginning of UT-C and UT-D as it enters the Royle Tract; a power line at the at the beginning of UT-D; and a pedestrian crossing within Main Steam - Reach 2b. • UT West Fork Deep River Page 11 of 33 Final Restoration Plan (EEP Project No. 442) February 2009 Table 5 notes the landowner name, its tract deed book, the stream(s) on the tract and the proposed • restoration for the tract.

The entryway exists at the Royle tract. The 20 feet wide ingress, egress, and regress permanent easement is located approximately 100 feet north of the power-line easement off of Squire Davis Road. The easement leads to the temporary construction easement just east of UT-C. Numerous large • hardwood trees line the top-of-bank on the main stem of UTWF, and stream restoration plan for the project involved a design that minimized impacts to trees. EEP has contacted Duke Energy regarding access within its easement to implement stream restoration on UT-A and UT-B. This access for construction would be gained from Rougemount Lane. 2.7.3 Utilities There are utilities located with the project study limits of UTWF stream restoration project: power transmission lines and sanitary sewer line. The power line easement is located within the project boundaries, and early coordination with Duke Power has been implemented to ensure project success. EEP has coordinated right of entry access with Duke Power. The existing transmission line limits vegetative plan restoration. Duke Power has website that includes its preferred list of trees species to be planted its right of ways. Species on Duke Power list are those that are low growing and involve minimal maintenance. The species from the Duke Power list that were native to NC have been incorporated into the planting plan for the project. EEP provided a list of additional species to Duke Power that EEP would like to have included within the transmission line areas. Additionally, EEP has plans to discuss other utility challenges with Duke Power. These include: right of entry to replace the pipe located on UT-C as well as access to temporary access across the power line right of way for UT-C as well as UT-A and UT-B. For UT-A and UT-B, a right of UT West Fork Deep River Page 12 of 33 Final Restoration Plan (EEP Project No. 442) February 2009 entry is sought from the right of way opposite of the Royle Tract, off of Rougemount Lane in Forsyth County. • A sanitary sewer line runs perpendicular to the main stem of UTWF, and it is located on the Glidewell Tract. The proposed restoration plan for the project does not involve any adjustments to the stream. There will be vegetative enhancement on the Glidewell Tract. The sewer line is noted for information purposes only. 2.7.4 FEMA / Hydrologic Trespass The UT West Fork Deep River stream restoration project lies within a Federal Emergency Management Act (FEMA) flood zone. The project site appears on DFIRM Map Number 3710689400J, and the drainage is named Knight Road Branch. The upstream half of the site is located in Forsyth County and is within a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) Zone AE that includes base flood elevations and a floodway. The downstream half is located in Guilford County within SFHA Zone AE that includes base flood elevations, but this section of the project does not include a floodway. The proposed restoration plan proposes no changes (pattern, dimension or profile) to the Main Stem - Reach 1 which is primarily located in Forsyth County (Alvin Ring Tract, Glidewell Tract and Matthews Tract). There is small portion of the Main Stem - Reach 1 that is located in Guilford County on the Jerry Ring Tract. Therefore, no floodplain modifications are required for Forsyth County. A small segment of Main Stem - Reach 1 and all of Main Stem - Reach 2 as well as all of the tributaries are located in Guilford Counties. The project will affect the FENIA flood zone in this • county. 3.0 PROJECT SITE STREAMS (EXISTING CONDITIONS 3.1 Existing Conditions Survey The existing land use within proposed project study for the five land tracts varies. For the Jerry Ring tract, Alvin Ring tract, Glidewell tract and Matthews tract, the predominant condition is a forested floodplain except for areas transversed by the Duke Energy transmission line. The Royle tract is currently managed for agriculture. An ecological resource inventory was conducted for the project, and an existing condition survey for the streams was performed. All of the drainages within the project study area were evaluated using stream guidance from the NC Division Water Quality (Identification Methods for the Origins of Intermittent and Perennial Streams). SEPI graded out all of the drainages on the tract, and based on the NCDWQ rating system, the drainages were determined to be jurisdictional streams. Streams identified as Main Stem UTWF (Reach 1, 2a and 2b), UT-A, UT-B and UT-D were determined to be perennial, and UT-C was determined to be an intermittent channel which the US Army Corps of Engineers would require compensatory mitigation (i.e., important channel) if impacted by a development project. The NCDWQ rating sheets for these drainages are included in Appendix 3. The project was reviewed for the presence/absence of wetlands on the tracts during the ecological resources inventory. The review noted that there are no existing wetlands on any of the tracts. • UT West Fork Deep River Page 13 of 33 Final Restoration Plan (EEP Project No. 442) February 2009 An extensive, intact riparian buffer was noted for Main Stem - Reach 1, and a limited buffer was noted along Main Stem - Reach 2a & 2b as well as UT-C and UT-D. The buffer in Main Stem - • Reach 1 included several invasive, exotic species. A vegetative buffer exists in areas along sections of UT-A and UT-B. There is a Duke Power powerline along UT-A and UT-B. Generally speaking, stream reaches Main Stem - Reach 2a, 2b, UT-A, UT-B, UT-C and UT-D lacked habitat for fish and invertebrate organisms. The stream channel is not passing sediment as it should, and sediment deposits were noted in the stream reaches. The majority of the stream assessed for restoration treatment occurred on the Royle Tract, including the lower portion of Main Stem - Reach 2a, Main Stem-Reach 2b, UT-C and UT-D. The remaining stream survey occurred on the Jerry Ring Tract which includes the upper portion of Main Stem-Reach 2a, as well as UT-A and UT-B. A review of the conservation easements was performed to determine whether the project streams had been relocated. There is no direct evidence that Reach 1, Reach 2 (a or b), UT-A, UT-B, UT- C or UT-D have been moved as there are no discernable relic channels within the acquired conservation easements Other features were noted during the existing condition survey. These features include the two pipe crossings, with one pipe located on UT-C as it enters the Royle Tract and one on UT-D as it enters the Royle Tract. Only the pipe crossing on UT-C will be replaced as part of the restoration project. A ford crossing and a pedestrian crossing were also noted on Main Stem - Reach 2b within Royle • Tract. The ford crossing will moved to the upper portion of Main Stem - Reach 2b, and the pedestrian crossing will be replaced just upstream of the existing ford crossing. 3.2 Channel Classification The existing channel conditions for stream reaches associated with the UTWF restoration plan are summarized as follows: Table 6. Summary of Existing Stream Channel Classification per Stream Reach Stream Reach Existing Length Rosgen Classification Main Stem - Reach 2a 363 feet E5/ F5 Main Stem - Reach 2b 1,669 feet E5/ G5c UT-A 382 feet G5 UT-13 427 feet G5/E5 UT-C 181 feet E5 UT-D 373 feet E5 Note: stream length reflects measurement along stream thalweg. Although portions of the Main Stem-Reach 2a and 2b, UT-B, UT-C and UT-D classify as an E channel, they are unstable and experiencing bank erosion. They have significantly high bank height ratios, allowing for large flow events to be contained within the streambanks. This lack of access to a floodplain causes increased shear stress on the stream bed and banks. r1 UT West Fork Deep River Page 14 of 33 Final Restoration Plan (EEP Project No. 442) February 2009 0 3.3 Valley Classification The project site is located in an alluvial valley. Prior to incision of the main stem and tributaries, the channels may have meandered across the floodplain moderately, as there is some slope within the valley that is confining. 3.4 Discharge (bankfull, trends) The discharges for Main Stem - Reach 2, as well as UT-A, UT-B, UT-C and UT-D, were calculated using three different methods or equations. The methods and equations used were Manning's equation, field identified bankfull indicators and verified bankfull indicators. Verification was completed using the North Carolina Piedmont (Rural) Regional Curves. Manning's Equation calculates the flow discharge (Q) that the existing channel can handle based on a Manning's roughness coefficient, the cross-sectional area, hydraulic radius, and slope of the channel. When using this equation the flow within the riffle sections of the stream is evaluated. The bankfull elevation was determined based on indicators that were surveyed in the field during the existing condition survey. The cross sectional area at bankfull was used with an approximated and appropriate bankfull velocity to estimate discharge. The regional curves were used to verify bankfull discharge. The regional curves are based on field data collected from gauged streams of varying drainage area sizes and are specific to a particular hydrophysiographic region. They relate the watershed drainage area of a stream to the cross-sectional bankfull area, • discharge, width and depth of a channel. The bank full cross sectional area, as determined by the filed indicators, fell very close to the regression line on the regional curve, and well within the confidence limits. 3.5 Channel Morphology ( pattern, dimension, profile ) Main Stem -Reach 2 of UTWF lies within a moderately wide, alluvial valley. The tributaries to UTWF are slightly more confined due to the present topography. None of the project reaches are frequently accessing their historical floodplains. The lack of floodplain access is due to significant incision that has occurred. The described valley type supports the presence of Rosgen C/E or Bc stream type for the Main Stem, and the valley supports a Rosgen E or B channel for the associated tributaries (UT-A, UT-B, UT-C, and UT-D). The existing channels in the project study area are classified as degraded E, G, and F stream types. The proposed design for the Main Stem- Reach 2 and UT-D is an E and/or Bc stream type. The suggested design will create a stabilized E stream type for UT-A, UT-B, and UT-C. The upper section of Main Stem - Reach 2 has developed some sinuosity (Station No. 10+00 to 13+00). Therefore, this reach is has been differentiated as Main Stem - Reach 2a. The bank height ratios range from 1.3 to 2.5, and the width to depth ratio ranges from 7.8 to 12.2. The existing stream type is E/F, and the targeted stream type is an E. The remaining stretch of Main Stem - Reach 2, referred to as Reach 2b, has relatively low sinuosity as measured from the top of bank; however, within the high, eroding banks, the stream meanders at low flow as it continues to deposit sediment on alternating point bars and mid- channel depositional features. The bank height ratios within Main Stem - Reach 2b range from 2.0 to 2.2, and the width/depth ratio ranges from 8.0 to 12.3. Due to the aggradation that has . occurred within the project reach of Reach 2b, the average slope of the channel has decreased and UT West Fork Deep River Page 15 of 33 Final Restoration Plan (EEP Project No. 442) February 2009 reduced the ability of the channel to convey the suspended and bed load being supplied by upstream. The existing stream type is E/G, and the targeted stream type is a Be. • The un-named tributary (UT-D), that flows into the lower portion of Main Stem - Reach 2b, has also incised. This stream has an excessive channel slope that is continuing to cause incision within the study area of this reach. At one point the tributary flows sub-surface and re-emerges before flowing into UT West Fork at the confluence. The cross-sectional area of this channel ranges from 6.4 to 6.6. The bank height ratio ranges from 1.3 to 2.9. This channel does not have much sinuosity, and, due to the slope, this stream would not be a meandering channel in a stable state. It was determined that a step-pool channel would be appropriate for the valley slope and level of confinement for this stream. UT-A and UT-B flow into the upper portion of Main Stem - Reach 2a, while UT-C has its confluence with UTWF in the upper portion of Main Stem - Reach 2b. These streams are incised, eroding and unstable. UT-A and UT-B have high bank height ratios with the bank height ratios for UT-A ranging from 3.4 to 3.7, and those for UT-B range 2.7 to 3.4. The bank height ratios for UT-C are not as high, and these range from 1.4 to 1.8. These tributaries lack much bed diversity in the form of pools and riffles. Nick points or head-cuts are present in these reaches. These channels have low sinuosity and are very small channels. 3.6 Channel Evolution Main Stem - Reach 2 is currently in an aggradational phase of channel evolution. The channel has previously incised, possibly due to increased flow from adjacent development, agricultural practices; or, it is possible that the increased slope is due to re-alignments in the past. Following the initial incision, the streambanks have eroded to a point where the channel is too wide to • generate the necessary depth (and associated shear stress) to move the suspended and bed material being supplied from upstream of the subject project. As a consequence of this inability to move sediment through the stream, there is a significant amount of aggradation in the Main Stem - Reach 2. This aggradation has caused the slope to decrease, and overtime, the channel will use this material to form benches and bars, creating a floodplain at it current elevation. A considerable amount of material will need to be deposited to create this floodplain. The negative impacts to aquatic habitat, water quality and downstream sediment transport will continue until this reach is stabilized/ restored to a stable dimension, pattern, and profile. It is possible to eliminate these long term, negative effects by restoring the stream to its endpoint classification in the stream evolutionary sequence. In this scenario, the stream classification type for Reach 2 would either be a C/E or Be depending on the slope of the stream and sinuosity. The channel evolution of UT-A, UT-B, UT-C and UT-D involves the adjustment from a Rosgen C or E to G to F to C/E or Be stream type. Currently, the tributaries are at varying stages of this process. The goal of the stream restoration project is to stabilize these stream reaches by creating a floodplain for each of the tributaries and stabilize the channel as either a C/E or Be stream type at the current elevation. 3.7 Channel Stability Assessment The data collected during the existing conditions survey of the Main Stem channel shows that the channel is vertically and laterally unstable. The influx of sediment (sand) coming into the system constantly changes the streambed elevation and has caused a lack of bed variability necessary for stability and in-stream habitat. The streambanks are unstable due to the erosive forces created by the active channel carrying a greater than bankfull discharge. r? UT West Fork Deep River Page 16 of 33 Final Restoration Plan (EEP Project No. 442) February 2009 From the data collected for the bank height ratio and entrenchment ratio, all of the project study • channels are vertically unstable. The Bank Height Ratio (BHR) ranged from: 1.3 to 2.5 from Main Stem - Reach 2a and from 2.0 to 2.2 for Main Stem - Reach 2b. For the tributary drainages, the BHR ranged from 3.4 to 3.7 for UT-A, from 2.7 to 3.4 for UT-B, from for UT-C, and from 1.3 to 2.9 for UT-D. • • The Entrenchment Ratio (ER) ranged from 1.2 to 2.9 along Main Stem - Reach 2a and from 1.2 to 1.9 for Main Stem - Reach 2b. Entrenchment was fairly constant on UT-A with a ratio of 1.5. The Entrenchment Ratio (ER) ranged from 1.4 to 2.6 along the UT-B, 10 to greater than 13 on UT-C, and 2.2 to greater than 12.5 on UT-D. The Bank Erosion Hazard Index (BEHI) was calculated at each cross section along Main Stem - Reach 2 and each tributary during the existing conditions survey. The BEHI results are presented in Table 7 below. Bank Erosion Potential (BEP) ranged from Moderate to Very High along the Main Stem-Reach 2, was only from High along UT-A and UT-B, and ranged from Moderate to High on UT-C and UT-D. In several locations, the streambanks along the site are actively eroding. Table 7. Summary of BEHUNBS Cross-Section # Reach BEHI Results EP NBS Results 1 Main Stem - Reach 2a Moderate High 2 UT-A High Extreme 3 UT-A High Extreme 4 UT-B High Extreme 5 UT-B High High 6 Main Stem - Reach 2a High Extreme 7 UT-C Moderate Very High 8 UT-C High Very High 9 Main Stem - Reach 2b Very High Extreme 10 Main Stem - Reach 2b Moderate Very High 11 Main Stem - Reach 2b High Very High 12 UT-D Moderate Moderate 13 UT-D High Extreme 3.8 Bankfull Verification Bankfull was determined in the field using field indicators such as benches, scour lines, and erosion and depositional patterns Bankfull data was cross-checked against the North Carolina Rural Piedmont regional curve data to ensure consistency (Harman et al. 1999). The bankfull cross sectional area that was calculated from the survey data fell within the confidence limits on the regional curve, and very close to the regression line. 3.9 Vegetation Community Type(s) Descriptions and Disturbance History Vegetative terrestrial communities in the project study area were distinguished by plant species, location in the landscape, past disturbances and hydrologic characteristics. For the purpose of this restoration plan, only habitats located directly within the project study area are summarized. UT West Fork Deep River Page 17 of 33 Final Restoration Plan (EEP Project No. 442) February 2009 Based on the field review, there are two different community types likely to be impacted by the proposed stream restoration project. These community types include: Remnant Bottomland • Hardwood and Disturbed/Pasture land. The remnant bottomland hardwood community resides along the banks of Main Stem - Reach 1. This community existed within the 30-50' buffer of the stream that had not been disturbed by livestock grazing and mowing. The following flora was observed in this community type within the project study area: beech (Fagus grandifolia), tulip poplar (Lioriodendron tulipifera), sweet gum (Liquidambar styracuflua), river birch (Betula nigra), white oak (Quercus alba), red oak (Quercus rubra), hickory (Carya glabra), maple (Acer rubrum), dogwood (Cornus florida), black cherry (Prunus serotina), and sycamore (Platanus occidentalis). The disturbed/pasture land community type dominates the project study mostly in the southern reaches (i.e., Main Stem - Reaches 2a and 2b), influencing UT-C and UT-D, and includes the power line right of way affecting UT-A and UT-B. This community contains mowed and maintained pasture land for cattle raised on the Royle Tract. Vegetation within the power line right of ways varies in its successional state. On the Royle Tract, the vegetation is maintained in an herbaceous state, whereas on the other tracts vegetation is irregularly maintained. 4.0 REFERENCE STREAMS Two reference reach streams were identified as being appropriate for restoration comparison and modeling purposes to use in the stream restoration for UTWF project. These reference reaches were utilized for this study due to environmental similarity between the proposed UTWF restoration reach sites and the reference stream sites. These two reference streams are UT Polecat • Creek, located in Randolph County, NC and northeast of the town of Randleman, and Fork Creek, also located in Randolph County. 4.1 Watershed Characterization The reference reach streams used are located within the Piedmont physiographic region of NC. These reference streams were similar in watershed, annual rainfall, and elevation range including valley type characteristics. The first reference reach, UT Polecat Creek (Figure 5(a)), is located in a rural landscape with a drainage area of 0.4 mil. The second reference reach, Fork Creek (Figure (5b), is also located in a rural setting with a drainage area of 2.2 mil. 4.2 Channel Classification A Rosgen Level II Classification was performed on each of the reference streams. Results of this classification revealed that UT Polecat Creek exhibits a B4c stream type, while Fork Creek was classified as an E4 stream type. 4.3 Discharge (bankfull, trends) Bankfull was readily identified on each of these two reference streams as they exhibited consistent indicators throughout the reaches. Verification of the bankfull was accomplished by plotting the bankfull cross sectional area for each reach against the regional curve data (Harman et al. 1999). After verification of the bankfull cross sectional area, the bankfull discharge was calculated for each surveyed reach using a single-section analysis. Manning's `n' was estimated from relative UT West Fork Deep River Page 18 of 33 Final Restoration Plan (EEP Project No. 442) February 2009 roughness calculations of the bed material and from observation of the channel flow conditions. Water surface slope was assumed to be consistent with the slope of the bed profile. Discharges • were then plotted against a graph of the regional curve data. The graphing of the data indicated that the calculated bankfull discharges were consistent with the regional curve data. 4.4 Channel Morphology (pattern, dimension, profile) Reference reach streams were chosen to reflect design parameters for the proposed stream restoration. Reference reaches were analyzed for morphological characteristics (see Reference Reach and Design Data Tables at the end of Section 10). Results of this analysis reveal that UT Polecat Creek is a meandering channel in a moderately confined valley with a well-developed floodplain. The second reference reach, Fork Creek, is a low-sinuosity stream in a moderately sloped colluvial valley. Both of these streams exhibit bed slope, channel material and valley form that are consistent with the optimal design criteria for UTWF and its tributaries. 4.5 Channel Stability Assessment No detailed channel stability assessment was performed due to the obvious stability of the based and banks of the reference reach streams. Upon completion of the existing condition stream survey at each reference reach, it was found that width-depth and bank height ratios were appropriate for self maintaining, stable streams. A reconnaissance was preformed up and downstream to find any sources of past or present degradation. No degradation was found, additionally significant bedrock features were encountered in the surveyed reaches beyond the . reference reach boundaries. 4.6 Bankfull Verification Bankfull was determined in the field using field indicators such as benches, scour lines, and erosional and depositional patterns. Bankfull data was cross-checked with the regional curve data (Harman et al 1999), field surveyed bankfull was consistent with the regional curve data. 4.7 Vegetation Community Type(s) Descriptions and Disturbance History A mature Mesic Mixed Hardwood Forest (Piedmont Subtype) exists at both reference reaches (Schafale and Weakley 1990). Canopy species of this subtype observed included American beech (Fagus grandifolia), red oak (Quercus rubra), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciua), and tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera). Dominant shrub species included beech (Fagus grandifolia), holly (Ilex opaca), privet (Ligustrum sinense), ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana), mountain laurel (Kalmia latifolia), red maple (Acer rubrum), and tag alder (Alnus serrulata). Herb, vine and sub- canopy species included Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides), greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia), sphagnum moss (Sphagnum spp.), and running cedar (Lycopodium clavatum). 5.0 PROJECT SITE RESTORATION PLAN 5.1 Stream Design Notes The stream design process for the Main Stem of UTWF, including Reach 1, Reach 2a, and Reach 2b, along with UT-A, UT-B, UT-C and UT-D was comprehensive in its approach. At the request • of EEP, it was determined that the restoration treatment to be applied to Main Stem - Reach 1 UT West Fork Deep River Page 19 of 33 Final Restoration Plan (EEP Project No. 442) February 2009 would be preservation with vegetative enhancement to remove exotics. Reach 1 is forested, and the riparian buffer is extensive in some portions (greater than 50 feet). • Reach 1 is currently in a widening and aggradational phase of its evolution (Rosgen F classification). The widening and aggradation of the channel has resulted in large trees falling into the channel. There appears to be no ongoing incision of the bed within Reach 1 or the stream area just upstream of Reach 1. Channel evolution is not always a linear process, and, as large trees continue to fall into the channel, additional instability of Reach 1 is expected to occur due to excessive widening, debris jams, and additional sediment input. A high fine sediment load from the eroding banks is present throughout Reach 1, and this sediment load is also coming from upstream of Reach 1. There are likely various sources of sediment in the watershed as many reaches of this stream and its tributaries are likely to be degraded. Reach 1 is in worse shape than Reach 2 due to very high eroding banks, large undermined trees, and erratic depositional features. It is anticipated that sediment sources in Reach 1, along with other unknown upstream sources, will continue to provide an excessive fine sediment load to Reach 2 and may overwhelm the channel post-restoration, which may result in instability. The Randleman buffer rules include two zones with 0 to 30 feet from top of bank (known as Zone 1) being a `no' touch zone, and 30 to 50 feet from stream's top of bank (know as Zone 2) to have limited development, including the potential conversion of forested vegetation to herbaceous vegetation. If the extensive buffer area is not protected through EEP's conservation easement, the stream bank erosion in this reach would likely be accelerated. The vegetative enhancement will involve removal of several invasive species that exist in the buffer, and this restoration approach is defined as Preservation. It is necessary to note, however, that the existence of the buffer alone will not stabilize this reach and the addition of the large trees into the channel as the banks fail 0 will create additional problems throughout this reach. There are additional benefits to preserving the extensive buffer associated with Main Stem - Reach 1. This preservation area provides a wildlife corridor as well as coverage for shelter and to forage. In combination with Main Stem - Reach 2, there is over a mile of riparian buffer along UT West Fork Deep River. Also, the preservation of the additional buffer along Main Stem - Reach 1 ensures that a riparian buffer will exist after Main Stem - Reach 1 stabilizes itself to its channel evolution endpoint, whether that is a Rosgen C or E channel. A 50-foot buffer will be ensured to exist, and this buffer will assist in future stability of Main Stem - Reach 2. For Main Stem - Reach 2, the channel currently provides very little aquatic habitat and is not adequately transporting the sediment load supplied from upstream of the project. The design includes adjusting the plan view of the channel, creating riffles and pools in the profile, as well as increasing the overall slope to transport the appropriate sediment size/load, and constructing a channel dimension that will provide for better sediment transport through the inclusion of a multi- stage channel. By providing an inner berm feature in the design, the stream will be allowed to deposit material as necessary on the benches without filling in the thalweg of the channel features (i.e., pools). The inner berm also allows for the channel to naturally narrow over time as vegetation is established on the benches. Main Stem - Reach 2 is being designed as two different stream types. The upper reach (i.e., Main Stem - Reach 2a) has a proposed length of 300 linear feet with a Priority 2 restoration approach. Main Stem - Reach 2a is designed as an E4 channel with moderate sinuosity and a high is width/depth ratio that will narrow over time. This alternative was chosen to allow for the UT West Fork Deep River Page 20 of 33 Final Restoration Plan (EEP Project No. 442) February 2009 construction of the critical depth for sediment transport. Designing a C type channel would have • resulted in a shallower and wider channel that would not move the excessive amounts of fine material being supplied by upstream erosion and overland runoff. An E channel with a high width to depth ratio was used to allow for a less risky bank slope to be constructed as well. The stream design treatment for Main Stem - Reach 2a is defined as "Restoration". The remainder of Main Stem - Reach 2 (i.e., Main Stem - Reach 2b) has a proposed length of 1,528 linear feet with a Priority 2 restoration approach. Main Stem - Reach 2b will be constructed as a Bc4 channel using step-pools to dissipate energy rather than meander bends. This design was chosen to work with the existing pattern as much as possible, minimize excessive grading of the very high terrace, and provide for the overall slope necessary to generate the required shear stress for sediment transport. The stream design treatment for Main Stem - Reach 2b is defined as "Restoration". The proposed ford crossing will be located at Station 14+20 along Main Stem - Reach 2b. This location was chosen because there is a flatter approach for a vehicle at this crossing compared to the current ford location. In addition, the ford needed to be located over a proposed riffle. It is anticipated that Main Stem - Reach 2a and 2b will continue to experience a high sediment load issue even after its restoration. The channel treatment and design for Main Stem - Reach 2a and 2b includes risk management for this continual sediment load, including the incorporation of an inner berm feature and bankfull benches. These features may or may not prove to be an adequate measure to alleviate the effects of the large sediment deposits that will occur during moderate to high flow events. Stream restoration treatments further upstream in the watershed would further reduce the risk of failure for the stream work in Main Stem - Reach 2a and 2b. For UT-A and UT-B, these channels are deeply incised with steep banks (over 1:1 slope in all areas and the stream banks were vertical in many areas). The stream banks of these two drainages are wasting material into these channels, and ultimately UTWF Deep River, thereby degrading the water quality of the receiving streams. There are also head cuts present along these channels that need to be stabilized to avoid further incision, and, consequently, reduce the potential for additional bank erosion. The stream treatment for UT-A and UT-B is defined as "Enhancement Level P" restoration treatment. Bankfull benches will be created at the appropriate elevations to give these channels an E-type channel dimension. The proposed linear footage for both of these channels will not change from the existing footage, 382 linear feet and 427 linear feet for UT-A and UT-B, respectively. Additionally, buffer vegetation appropriate for the Duke Power transmission right of way will be planted, and these plantings will assist in providing stability for the stream channel. UT-C has several trees along the channel itself, but there is no an extensive buffer as UT-C is located in pasture. The trees that line UT-C are potentially preventing the channel from widening itself and eroding additional material into the receiving waters. Therefore, the design decision was made to stabilize the potential locations for headcuts and grade incised banks in areas that would minimize disturbance of the existing buffer yet achievea stable stream reach. An "Enhancement Level I" restoration treatment will be applied to UT-C with a proposed E-type channel classification. The proposed linear footage for UT-C will not change from the existing footage (i.e., 181 linear feet). UT-D is an incised tributary that has bank erosion, on-going channel degradation and locations where the baseflow is subsurface. Without stabilizing this channel, UT-D will continue to • degrade the bed and banks. There is no buffer of significance along this channel, so the design UT West Fork Deep River Page 21 of 33 Final Restoration Plan (EEP Project No. 442) February 2009 approach recommended is a Priority 2/3 restoration which will result in improved pattern, • dimension, profile, grade control, habitat and decreased erosion rates. UT-D has a proposed stream length of 373 linear feet and the target stream classification of Bc. The stream design treatment for UT-D is defined as "Restoration". Old stream channels, abandoned due to project construction, will be backfilled. Backfilling the abandoned channel will reduce the amount of waste material. In addition, Mr. Royle has agreed to allow the contractor to waste excess material on this property. The excess material from project construction will be placed outside of the FEMA area on the Royle Tract. 5.2 Restoration Project Goals and Objectives There are several project goals and objectives that are applicable to all of the stream reaches. These goals and objectives are to: • Improve water quality by: o providing stable pattern, dimension and profile to pass appropriate storm events and their sediment; o incorporating appropriate slopes on the stream banks to reduce erosion and sedimentation; o planting a diverse riparian vegetation for the uptake of nutrients for Main Stem - Reach 2a, Main Stem - Reach 2b, UT-A, UT-B, UT-C and UT-D and appropriate vegetation in the Duke Power transmission line; • o installing a stormwater best management practice (level spreader) to eliminate the direct conduit (drainage ditch) of nutrients into UT-D and Main Stem - Reach 2b; and, o providing appropriate stream crossings on the Royle Tract (ford crossing on Main Stem - Reach 2b, pedestrian crossing on Main Stem - Reach 2b and pipe replacement on UT-C); • Provide flood storage by laying the stream banks back and providing greater access to a floodplain for Main Stem - Reach 2a, Main Stem - Reach 2b, UT-A, UT-B, UT-C and UT-D • Improve habitat for fish and invertebrate species by: o including in-stream structures that promote and maintain pools; and, o incorporating appropriate slopes on the stream banks to reduce bank erosion and associated direct influxes of fine sediments as well as to allow for vegetation to provide shade and cover; • Provide an enhanced riparian buffer for Main Stem - Reach 1 by removing the exotic, invasive vegetation from the buffer. The Main Stem - Reach 2 of UTWF and its tributaries are currently unstable due to previous incision, widening and current aggradation. The channels do not provide adequate in-stream habitat due to a lack of pools and riffles. On the Main Stem - Reach 2, the slope is too low to transport the large amount of fine material entering the reach from upstream erosion and overland flow from construction sites. The goals of restoring Main Stem - Reach 2 include creating a stable channel that will transport the sediment being supplied by incorporating a inner berm UT West Fork Deep River Page 22 of 33 Final Restoration Plan (EEP Project No. 442) February 2009 feature and a bankfull bench for flood storage and to decrease bank stress during high flows; • maintain riffles and pools; and to provide storage for additional sediment on the bars and benches that will be constructed. Also, the buffer will be vegetated with appropriate native species to assist in bank stability and provide shade and organic material. The tributaries, identified as UT-A, UT-B and UT-C, will also be stabilized by creating floodplains for them to access at their current bed elevation. This restoration will reduce erosion and provide a location for planting vegetation to increase bank stability. Also, in-stream grade control structures (sills and vanes) will be used to arrest current headcuts and the incision that is currently taking place. UT-D will be restored to a Bc stream type. Project implementation will include planting riparian vegetation and installing grade control structures will be used throughout to prevent further incision and to provide improved pool habitat. The dimension will be adjusted by grading a bankfull bench and adjusting the plan view of the channel to remove overly tight meander bends. 5.2.1 Designed Channel Classification The existing Rosgen stream classification of the Main Stem varies from an E, G, and F type channel. The channel classification is dependent on the degree of incision and the amount of widening/erosion that has occurred. The tributaries classify as a Rosgen G or E, depending on the amount of incision that has occurred. The Main Stem - Reach 2a has been designed to classify a Rosgen E while Main Stem - Reach • 2b has been designed to classify a Rosgen Bc channel. A Rosgen E type has been designed for UT-A, UT-B, and UT-C. UT-D has been designed to classify as a Rosgen Bc post-restoration. 5.2.2 Target Buffer Communities The restoration plan for UT West Fork Deep River includes riparian plantings along the Main Stem and identified tributaries. Two buffer communities are planned for the project and include native bottomland hardwood species and low growing shrubs for the power line areas. The list of bottomland hardwood species to be planted on the tract is found in Table 7. Duke Power has a website dedicated to its list of preferred plant species to be planted within its right of ways. However, this list includes a majority of species that are `exotic' (i.e., not native to NC). The species from the Duke Power list that are native to NC are included in Table 8, and Duke Power was contacted regarding its willingness to plant the species noted with an asterisk. 5.3 Sediment Transport Analysis 5.3.1 Methodolou The Main Stem - Reach 2 and its tributaries are currently classified as sand bed channels; however, these streams would be gravel bed channels under stable conditions. Sediment transport and stream power were analyzed for the existing and proposed stream conditions. A gravel bed section upstream of Main Stem - Reach 2 was used as the (sediment supply) reference condition. Pavement and Sub-pavement samples were taken from the upstream supply • reach as well as in the upper portion of the restoration reach to determine the necessary depth and slope for adequate transport of bed material. UT West Fork Deep River Page 23 of 33 Final Restoration Plan (EEP Project No. 442) February 2009 • 5.3.2 Calculations and Discussion Main Stem - Reach 2 The existing stream channel and design data were used to calculate the required shear stress to move the gravel sized material present in UT West Fork Deep River just upstream of Main Stem - Reach 2. Having adequate power to move this larger material will allow the restored stream reach to move the gravels and supply the downstream riffles with the larger material. The existing slope of the channel within Main Stem - Reach 2 is not adequate to transport the necessary material; therefore, the stream design included steepening the average channel slope. The steepening of the average slope required cutting into some of the aggraded channel material at the lower end of the project reach. It is important however, not to exceed the threshold values for slope and depth as the result will be the occurrence of incision in the project reach. Currently, some of the coarse grain size material is being transported into the first few riffles within Main Stem - Reach 2. However, once the stream power decreases enough due to lower slope and higher channel width, the larger grain sized bed material is no longer mobile. The design goal was to increase the shear stress at bankfull slightly thereby increasing stream power so that the coarser (gravel) material could travel through the restored reach. The current aggradational state of the channel would eventually result in bar formation and a narrower bankfull channel, yet the negative impacts to water quality would continue until the channel stabilized. UT-D UT-D is a first order tributary to the Unnamed Tributary to West Fork Deep River. UT-D flows into the Main Stem - Reach 2b towards the lower end of restoration project. This channel is actively incising. It was a goal in the design to lower the shear stress and provide adequate grade control to prevent further incision. By increasing the channel bankfull width, decreasing the depth, and maintaining the existing slope, the stream power was decreased. The particle sizes assumed to be mobile during bankfull flow are included in the following table. Due to the constraints of not being able to alter the beginning or ending elevations of UT-D, as well as the valley slope and width not being suitable to a meandering channel, a Rosgen B stream type was chosen for the design to provide adequate step-pool structures to maintain stability of the channel profile. The local threshold grain size mobilized at bankfull discharge was computed for the Main Stem - Reach and for UT-D for existing and proposed conditions. The list below summarizes the results of the computations: Table 8.

Main Stem - Reach 1 lies entirely in Forysth County with a small segment in Guilford County. Main Stem - Reach 2 and its tributaries are located within the Guilford County and located within SFHA Zone AE that includes base flood elevations, but this section of the project does not include a floodway. The proposed restoration plan proposes no changes (pattern, dimension or profile) to the Forsyth County portion of Knight Road Branch on the Alvin Ring Tract, Glidewell Tract and Matthews Tract. Therefore, no floodplain modifications are required. The proposed restoration plan does include changes to the Guilford County portion of the Knight Road Branch, noted as Main Stem- Reach 2 of UTWF (pattern, dimension and profile) and located on the Jerry Ring Tract and Royle Tract. The restoration plan also includes changes to UT-A, UT-B, UT-C, and UT-D, and with UT-B included in the backwater of the Knight Road Branch FEMA area. Based on these modifications to Main Stem - Reach 2 and to UT-A, UT-B, UT-C, and UT-D, modifications to the FEMA area will result, and a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) will be requested from the NC Floodplain Mapping. Upon completion of the stream construction activities, a Letter of Map Revision (LOMB) will be requested from NC Floodplain Mapping. A hydraulic analysis was performed on Knight Road Branch (Main Stem - Reach 2). The analysis is based on the NCFMP procedures and includes three models, the duplicate effective, the corrected effective, and the revised conditions. • The Duplicate Effective was prepared using the effective model obtained from the NCFMP. The effective model was saved in HECRAS Version 3.1.3 and renamed as the duplicate effective model. The duplicate effective model was executed, and the resulting 100 yr water surface elevations were compared to Table 14 in the Guilford County Flood Insurance Study Report (FIS). The duplicate effective elevations matched the FIS elevations. The corrected effective model was prepared using a copy of the duplicate effective model and adding project survey data. Cross sections (XS) 4986.5, 5500, 5641, 5723, 5739, 5772, 6037, 6282, 6415, and 6666 were added to the corrected effective model using project field survey data. These cross sections were constructed using a combination of LiDAR data downloaded from the NCFMP website for the overbanks and project field survey data for the channels. Cross sections 6000 and 5600 were removed from the corrected effective model and replaced with 5641 and 6037 to utilize the project survey data. Manning's n values were verified from the aerial imagery on the DFIRM. In general, the Manning's n values are consistent with the values in the duplicate effective model. At XS 5269.9, an ineffective flow limit was placed at Station No. 4942.91, and the Manning's n value was revised from 10 to 0.14 based on the land use observed in the aerial imagery. Because new cross sections were added to the model, reach lengths were also revised. Ineffective flow limits were placed appropriately throughout the study reach based on topographic conditions. A floodway was also prepared for the project reach using the effective floodway (non-encroachment) location where possible. The revised (proposed) model was prepared using a copy of the corrected effective model with the addition of the proposed stream restoration project. The stream centerline and reach lengths • were revised based on the proposed centerline. Therefore, cross section stations upstream of cross section 4800 are slightly different in the revised model from the corrected effective model. UT West Fork Deep River Page 25 of 33 Final Restoration Plan (EEP Project No. 442) February 2009 Cross sections 6698, 6428.8, 6294.4, 6049, 5775.9, 5745.9, 5729.7, 5698.2, 5495.3, 5257.7, • 4962.2 were revised based on the proposed restoration cross section data. The revised condition model utilized the identical Manning's n values and ineffective flow limits as the corrected effective model. A proposed pedestrian bridge was added at cross section 5733.9, and the contraction and expansion coefficients were revised accordingly at cross sections 5745.9, 5729.7, and 5698.2. A floodway (non-encroachment) profile was also prepared. In general, the water surface elevations from the revised condition decrease compared to the corrected effective model. The decrease is a maximum of 2.15' and a minimum of 0.65' in the project reach. The revised condition non-encroachment width also decreased compared to the corrected effective model. Table 9, found in the table section of the report, provides a detailed flood study comparison for the Knight between the duplicate effective, corrected effective, and revised models. 5.4.2 Hydrologic Trespass The pattern, dimension and profile will be modified by the stream restoration project, thereby affecting the floodplain water surface elevations. There will be no hydraulic trespass because: • the water surface elevations from the revised condition decreased when compared to the corrected effective model; and, • the revised condition non-encroachment width also decreased compared to the corrected effective model. 5.5 Hydrological Modifications is 5.5.1 Modification to Ditch draining to UT-D There are no wetlands on the tracts affected by the stream restoration project nor will any wetlands be affected by the implementation of the level spreader for UT-D. The ditch that drains into UT-D will be modified. Currently, the ditch is a direct conduit of nutrients into UT-D which empties into UT West Fork Deep River that drains to Oak Hollow Reservoir. An earthen level spreader has designed to collect stormwater from the ditch, and the level spreader will cause stormwater to sheetflow into UT-D and/or Main Stem UT West Fork Deep River. This BMP has been designed so that it will not require any long-term maintenance. 5.5.2 Schematic of Ditch Modification The proposed modifications are depicted on Sheet BMP-l. 5.6 Soil Restoration 5.6.1 Soil Preparation and Amendment Where grading is to be performed to implement the stream restoration, the overlaying 4-6 inches of topsoil will be stockpiled for re-distribution over the site after grading is complete. Soil samples were sent by Mr. Rafe Royle to the North Carolina Department of Agriculture Division of Agronomic Services for analysis. The project soils have an appropriate pH and good levels of nitrogen. The soil results recommended only the addition of potash (K2O) for the establishment UT West Fork Deep River Page 26 of 33 Final Restoration Plan (EEP Project No. 442) February 2009 of hardwood seedlings. Based on these results, 50 lbs/acre of potash will be applied to topsoil after the topsoil has been redistributed over the graded areas and prior to temporary seeding or planting. This amendment will be distributed evenly and will be incorporated to a depth of four to six inches. U • 5.6.2 Soil Preparation and Amendment Summary per Community Tyne The areas proposed for planting will be ripped and disked after topsoil has been re-distributed up to the pre-disturbance ground elevation and the soil amendment has been broadcasted over the graded or disturbed areas. The same amendment will be applied to all proposed planting areas, regardless of community type. The amendment consists of 50 lbs/acre of potash (K2O) to be evenly distributed and incorporated into the top 4 to 6 inches of topsoil. Table 9.

Natural communities were assessed using Classification of the Natural Communities of North Carolina Third Approximation (Schafale and Weakley, 1990). The dominant natural plant community that exists or existed in the riparian zone of UTWF is Piedmont Bottomland Forest. Plant and seed materials will be placed on the stream banks, bankfull benches, and terraces. Additionally, plant and seed materials will be planted in areas disturbed by construction traffic. Existing riparian species may be transplanted on site during the construction phase. Any woody or herbaceous species proposed for transplantation must be kept at adequate root moisture levels during the construction process. Lime and fertilizer amendments shall be added at the discretion of the on-site planting supervisor. Two vegetative communities have been proposed for this project. These communities include: bottomland hardwood forest areas (also referred to as `Zone 1) and utility easement corridor (also referred to as `Zone 2). Zone 3, entitled Bottomland Hardwood Forest (Invasive Management), refers to the area where invasive maintenance will occur. For stream stability purposes, the outside of the meander bends will be planted. Planting densities for the aforementioned areas include a tree plant spacing of 680 plants per acre (8 feet spacing) initial density. Live stakes will be planted at 4,840 stakes per acre (3 feet spacing). Target densities are 320 trees per acre after Monitoring Year 3. All areas compacted by construction traffic will be disked prior to seed and/or planting applications. In areas prone to erosion (i.e., meander bends), live stakes will be used. Stakes shall be installed randomly with respect to species, 2' to 3' feet apart. These stakes shall be selectively placed on existing vegetated stream banks. A permanent seed mixture of native grasses and forbs shall be applied to all disturbed areas of the site. Separate mixtures shall be provided for stream banks, flood plans and areas for the temporary construction easement and waste material sites on the Royle Tract. The permanent seed mixture for stream banks shall be applied in order to provide rapid stabilization of constructed stream banks and steep slopes. The permanent seed mixture for the flood plans shall be applied to other disturbed areas, outside of the existing tree lines, to provide rapid growth of herbaceous ground cover with a habitat value. • UT West Fork Deep River Page 28 of 33 Final Restoration Plan (EEP Project No. 442) February 2009 • • Table 10.

Multifora rose (Rosa multiflora), Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) and autumn olive (Eleagnus pungens) were observed within the channel and at top-of- bank of Main Stem - Reach 1 and UT-A and UT-B. This vegetation zone is known as Zone 3 - UT West Fork Deep River Final Restoration Plan (EEP Project No. 442) Page 29 of 33 February 2009 Bottomland Hardwood Forest (Invasive Species Management). There may be areas outside of • this zone that may require treatment. Chinese privet is an aggressively invasive shrub that was historically planted as an ornamental and has escaped cultivation. Dense stands can encroach and out-compete native species. Fruiting occurs from July through March. Autumn olive was historically planted to enhance wildlife habitat, is a less aggressive shrub than Privet, and fruits from August through November (USDA Forest Service 2003). Multiflora rose is a vine historically planted for erosion control and can form dense, impenetrable stands. Rose fruits from September through October (SEEPPC 2008). Both mechanical and herbicidal control is recommended for all three species (USDA Forest Service 2003 and SEEPPC 2008). Mechanical extraction of privet, autumn olive and rose will be conducted concurrently with stream restoration construction. Any herbicidal application must be applied prior to the fruiting season for each individual invasive species. Optimally, herbicides should be applied prior to the fruiting of broad leaf shrubs and trees in the vicinity of the invasive species to ensure that no collateral damage ensues. 7.0 PERFORMANCE CRITERIA 7.1 Streams According to the NC Stream Mitigation Guidelines, stream monitoring must continue for five years or until the stream has experienced two bankfull events in separate monitoring years. Therefore, a stream flow/ crest stage gage must be installed on-site to provide an accurate record of bankfull flow. Measurements including cross-sections, longitudinal profiles, and bank stability assessments, will be conducted once a year and at the same time of year to determine how well • the stream is maintaining the constructed dimension, pattern, and profile. Furthermore, the stability condition of the bed and bank material will help to determine if the stability goal was achieved. Following the completion of construction and site planting, a baseline survey will be conducted for 3,000 linear feet of the restored stream reaches (Main Stem - Reach 2a, Main Stem - Reach 2b, UT-A, UT-B, UT-C and UT-D). The portions of each restored stream reach to be surveyed will be determined during the field visit and a survey-grade global positioning system (GPS) field-data collector or modern total station equipment will be used to conduct the baseline survey. The baseline survey will consist of a stream channel plan and profile (including thalweg, left and right water surface, left and right bankfull and left and right top-of-bank measurements at the head of all stream features, including riffles and maximum pools, and location of all in-stream structures) and detailed cross-section surveys. Based on the assumption of monitoring to occur only along Main Stem - Reach 2 and UT-D, the total number of cross-sections is six with a maximum of one riffle and one pool for Main Stem - Reach 2a, one riffle and one pool for Main Stem - Reach 2b, and 2 riffles and 2 pools for UT-D. The locations of these cross sections will be determined after construction. A topographic survey showing location and elevation of filled channel, ditch modification and level spreader, and other features associated with restoration activities will also be conducted. A pebble count will be conducted at each detailed cross-section. During the baseline survey, each detailed cross-sections will be pinned with rebar and flagged at two ends. A crest stage gage will be installed during the baseline survey to help document bankfull events. The location of the crest gage and bank pins will be surveyed in during the baseline survey and will be shown on the monitoring baseline drawings. In the proceeding years, the data collected will be overlain to demonstrate changes in the stream over time and to • determine whether the stream is stable. Additionally, the field data will be analyzed and UT West Fork Deep River Page 30 of 33 Final Restoration Plan (EEP Project No. 442) February 2009 compiled into a table noting values for varying morphological features from existing condition is values, design values, base line values and subsequent monitoring year values. Permanent photo reference points will be installed along the restored stream reaches during the baseline survey. These reference points will be used to document any changes in the stream over a five year period as the direction of the photo point will be consistent over time. These reference points will be noted on each year's monitoring 7.2 Vegetation Vegetation plots will be established in order to measure survivability rates of planted and transplanted woody vegetation. Nine permanent total woody stem monitoring plots will be marked prior to the monitoring baseline survey, in accordance with requirements as set forth in CVS-EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation (Lee et.al 2006). Stem count plots will be strategically located throughout the site to ensure 10 meter by 10 meter plots. The corners will be permanently marked with metal conduit and flagged. The plots will be monitored for 5 years or until success criteria have been met. 7.3 Schedule / Reporting An as-built report will be prepared and used as a baseline for all subsequent monitoring. The monitoring and corresponding reports will begin one (1) year following completion of the as-built report and will continue for four additional years or until success criteria are met. The as-built and monitoring reports will include: • • Executive Summary; • Project Background Data; • Project Monitoring Methodology; • Project Condition and Monitoring Results, including, but not limited to, current condition plan views, overlays of cross sections and profiles from each monitoring year, visual stream assessment, and morphology and hydraulic summary; and, • Recommendations and Conclusions. • UT West Fork Deep River Page 31 of 33 Final Restoration Plan (EEP Project No. 442) February 2009 8.0 REFERENCES • Duke Energy Corporation. 2008.

The project occurs in Forsyth and Guilford Counties. The North Carolina Department of Transportation completed a stream feasibility study for the project in 2005. Since the completion of this document, the EEP is required to provide greater documentation in support of securing federal funding for its projects. This information serves to supplement and/or update information in the previously completed feasibility study to meet the federal funding requirements. STUDY METHODOLOGY Prior to the beginning of the environmental resource inventory fieldwork, available literature was reviewed to gain an understanding of the project vicinity. National Wetland Inventory (NWI) maps (Kernersville, NC), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) topographic maps (Kernersville 7.5 Minute Quadrangle), aerial photographs, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resource Conservation Service (MRCS) soils • maps, and aerial photography were reviewed to determine the potential presence and likelihood of waters of the U.S., including wetlands, within the project study area. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) records and North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) database of rare species and habitats were also reviewed to determine protected species known to occur within Forsyth and Guilford County. Additionally, the records at the NC State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) were reviewed. The site was visited on May 14, 2008. The project study area (PSA) was walked and visually surveyed for significant features, including but not limited to, potential habitat for protected species, wetlands/waters of the U.S., terrestrial communities, and water quality of study area drainages. Wetlands in the project study area were determined using the "Routine On-Site Determination Method" as defined in the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wetland Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory, 1987). EXISTING TERRESTRIAL COMMUNITIES Vegetative terrestrial communities in the PSA were distinguished by plant species, location in the landscape, past disturbances and hydrologic characteristics. For the purpose of this report, only habitats directly within the project study area are summarized. • UT West Fork Deep River Page 1 of 7 Supplemental ERTR October 2008 Based on the field review, there are two different community types likely to be impacted • by the proposed stream restoration project. These community types include: Remnant Bottomland Hardwood and Disturbed/Pasture land. Remnant Bottomland Hardwood- This community resides along the banks of UT to Westfork Tributary. This community existed within the 30-50' buffer of the stream that had not been disturbed by livestock grazing and mowing. The following flora was observed in this community type within the PSA: beech (Fagus grandifolia), tulip poplar (Lioriodendron tulipifera), sweet gum (Liquidambar styracuflua), river birch (Betula nigra), white oak (Quercus alba), red oak (Quercus rubra), hickory (Carya glabra), maple (Acer Rubrum), dogwood (Corpus florida), black cherry (Primus serotina), and sycamore (Platanus occidentalis). Disturbed/Pasture land- This community type dominates the PSA mostly in the southern reaches. This community contained mowed and maintained pasture land as well as power line right of ways. WATERS of the UNITED STATES Streams located within the PSA all drain to West Fork Deep River. The aforementioned stream is located in the Cape Fear River Basin, USGS Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03030003, and NCDWQ Stream Index # 17-3- (0.3). West Fork Deep River is currently classified as Water Supply IV (WS-IV). Water from streams with this classification are used as a water supply for drinking, culinary, or food processing where a designation of • WS I, II, or III is not feasible. Additionally, these waters are protected for Class C uses. Typically, WS-IV streams are located in moderate to highly developed watersheds. West Fork Deep River is currently listed on the NC Impaired Waters List (303 (d)). It is impaired from its source to a point 0.3 miles downstream of Guilford County SR 1850 (Sandy Ridge Rd). Fish and benthic samples were collected in 2004, and resulting biotic indices from this data concluded that there was an impairment of unknown etiology. All of the drainages within the PSA were evaluated using stream guidance from the NC Division Water Quality (Identification Methods for the Origins of Intermittent and Perennial Streams). SEPI scored all of the drainages on the tract, and based on the NCDWQ rating system, the drainages were determined to be jurisdictional streams. Streams identified as Main Stem UT West Fork Deep River, UT-A, UT-13 and UT-D were determined to be perennial, and UT-C was determined to be an intermittent channel which the US Army Corps of Engineers would require compensatory mitigation (i.e., important channel) if impacted by a development project. Attached to this information are the stream data sheets for each of the drainages located on this restoration site. There are no wetlands on the proposed restoration site. FEDERALLY-PROTECTED SPECIES • UT West Fork Deep River Page 2 of 7 Supplemental ERTR October 2008 The list of federally endangered and threatened species known to occur in Forsyth and • Guilford counties was reviewed, and evaluations were performed to determine the likelihood of the presence of each species within the project study area. Additionally, North Carolina Center for Geographic Information and Analysis (NCCGIA) GIS Natural Heritage Element Occurrence layers were queried for federally listed species in the PSA. No occurrences of individuals or population occurrences of T/E species were found (NCCGIA 2006). The PSA consists largely of remnant bottomland hardwood and disturbed/pastureland communities. • In letters dated May 27, 2008, updated scoping letters were provided to the US Fish and Wildlife Services (USFWS) as well as the NC Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC). NCWRC provided standard comments on the project. A copy of this letter is attached to this document. USFWS has yet to provide comments on this project as of August 6, 2008. In the July 9, 2007 Federal Register( 72:37346-37372), the bald eagle was declared recovered, and removed (de-listed) from the Federal List of Threatened and Endangered wildlife. This delisting took effect August 8,2007. After delisting, the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (Eagle Act) (16 U.S.C. 668-668d) becomes the primary law protecting bald eagles. The Eagle Act prohibits take of bald and golden eagles and provides a statutory definition of "take" that includes "disturb". The following lists the federally-protected species for Forsyth and Guildford Counties. A summary of habitat preferences and findings for the above-listed species is as follows the table. Table 1: Forsyth and Guilford County Federally Protected Species Common Scientific Habitat Biological Name Name Status Historic Status Present Conclusion Haliaeetus Bald Eagle leucocephalus BGPA Current No No Effect Clemmy T Bog turtle muhlenbergii (S/A) Current No No Effect Red- Cockaded Picoides Woodpecker borealis E Historic No No Effect Small- anthered Cardamine Bittercress micranthera E Historic No No Effect Small whorled Isotria pogonia medeoloides T Current No No Effect T=threatened, E=en dangered, T(S/A) = threatened due to similarity of appearance BGPA= Bald Eagle Protection Act, wh ich replaced the Endangered status as of August 2007 Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) - The bald eagle is a large raptor with a white head and dark brown body. The body plumage is dark-brown to chocolate-brown in is UT West Fork Deep River Supplemental ERTR Page 3 of 7 October 2008 color and can be identified by the flat wing soar. Eagle nests are found in close proximity • to a clear flight path to water (within a half mile) near the largest living tree in an area that has an open view of the surrounding land. Human disturbance can sometimes cause eagles to abandon otherwise suitable habitat. The breeding season for the bald eagle begins in December or January and typical food includes fish, coots, herons, and wounded ducks. Biological Conclusion: No effect North Carolina Center for Geographic Information and Analysis (NCCGIA) GIS Natural Heritage Element Occurrence layers were queried for listed species in the PSA. No occurrences of individuals or population occurrences of bald eagle were found (NCCGIA 2006). Additionally, no individuals were encountered during the field assessment. The distance from the study area to the nearest lake (Oak Hollow Lake) is approximately 2.0 miles. Due to the above reasons, it is apparent that the restoration will have no effect on the bald eagle. Bog Turtle (Clemmys muhlenbergii) - Bog turtles are 3 to 4 %2 inches in length and range in color from light brown to ebony. This turtle has a conspicuous bright orange, yellow or red blotch found on each side of the head. The bog turtle is typically found in mossy, bogs and marshy meadows, and small wetlands along creeks (NCNHP, 2006). The project study area is comprised of fragmented riparian forest, roadside/disturbed land, and former agricultural land. • Bog turtles inhabit slow, shallow, muck-bottomed rivulets of sphagnum bogs, calcareous fens, marshy/sedge-tussock meadows, spring seeps, wet cow pastures, and shrub swamps; the habitat usually contains an abundance of sedges or mossy cover. The turtles depend on a mosaic of microhabitats for foraging, nesting, basking, hibernation, and shelter (USFWS 2000). "Unfragmented riparian systems that are sufficiently dynamic to allow the natural creation of open habitat are needed to compensate for ecological succession" (USFWS 2000). Beaver, deer, and cattle may be instrumental in maintaining the essential open-canopy wetlands (USFWS 2000). Habitat for this turtle includes bogs, marshy meadows, and wetland areas along creeks. No habitat for the bog turtle was found along the PSA, and no individuals were detected during the site assessment. Habitat requirements of the bog turtle are not located within the project study area, and therefore, bog turtles are not expected to occur in the project study area and implementing this restoration project will pose any impacts on the species. Red-Cockaded Woodpecker (Picoides borealis) - The red-cockaded woodpecker is 18 to 20 centimeters long with a wing span of 35 to 38 centimeters. There are black and white horizontal stripes on its back and its cheeks and under parts are white. Its flanks are black streaked. The cap and stripe on the side of the neck and the throat are black. The male has a small red spot on each side of the black cap. After the first post fledgling molt, fledgling males have a red crown patch. This woodpecker's diet is composed mainly of UT West Fork Deep River Page 4 of 7 Supplemental ERTR October 2008 insects which include ants, beetles, wood-boring insects, caterpillars, and corn ear worms • if available. About 16 to 18 percent of the diet includes seasonal wild fruit. For nesting/roosting habitat, open stands of pine containing trees 60 years old and older. Red-cockaded woodpeckers need live, large older pines in which to excavate their cavities. Longleaf pines (Pinus palustris) are most commonly used, but other species of southern pine are also acceptable. Dense stands (stands that are primarily hardwoods, or that have a dense hardwood understory) are avoided. Foraging habitat is provided in pine and pine hardwood stands 30 years old or older with foraging preference for pine trees 10 inches or larger in diameter. In good, moderately-stocked, pine habitat, sufficient foraging substrate can be provided on 80 to 125 acres. Biological Conclusion: No Effect Habitat for the Red-Cockaded Woodpecker consists of old open pine stands for nesting and younger pine forest for foraging. No habitat for the red-cockaded woodpecker was found along the PSA as the project's terrestrial communities are remnant bottomland hardwood forest and disturbed/pasture. No individuals were detected during the site assessment. The on-line maps of the NC Natural Heritage Program were assessed on June 5, 008, and this review did not any occurrence of red-cockaded woodpeckers within one (1) miles of the proposed project. Habitat requirements for the red-cockaded woodpecker are not located within the project study area, and therefore, construction of the restoration project will have no effect upon the red-cockaded woodpeckers are not IS expected to occur in the project study area. Small-anthered Bittercress (Cardamine micranthera) - This small flowering plant reaches 8-16 inches tall, white flowers with anthers 02 inch long and petals .05-08 inch wide; distinguished from the similar Cardamine rotundifolia by its much smaller nearly round anthers (instead of oblong), smaller flowers, and more angulate and nonclasping leaves. Habitat for the small-anthered bittercress consists of seepages, wet rock crevices, streambanks, sandbars, and wet woods along small streams. The small-anthered bittercress has been found only in the Dan River drainage basin. Biological Conclusion: No Effect All populations are found within the Dan River Drainage (NC Natural Heritage Program, 2006). The UT to West Fork Study area lies within the Cape River River Basin. The on- line maps of the NC Natural Heritage Program were assessed on June 5, 008, and this review did not any occurrence of small-anthered bittercress within one (1) miles of the proposed project. The drainage requirements are not met to support the small-anthered bittercress, and therefore, construction of the restoration project will have no effect upon the small-anthered bittercress. Small whorled pogonia (Isotria medeoloides) - Small whorled pogonia is a perennial with long, pubescent roots and a smooth, hollow stem 9.5 to 25 centimeters (cm) tall • UT West Fork Deep River Page 5 of 7 Supplemental ERTR October 2008 terminating in a whorl of 5 or 6 light green, elliptical leaves that are somewhat pointed • and measure up to 8 by 4 cm. A flower, or occasionally two flowers, is produced at the top of the stem. Flowering occurs from about mid-May to mid-June, with the flowers apparently lasting only a few days to a week or so. In North Carolina, this species is typically found in montane oak-hickory or acidic cove forests. The understory structure and composition of occupied sites can be quite variable, ranging from dense rhododendron thickets to open/sparse shrub and sub-shrub strata. Herbaceous cover tends to be sparse, however at least two sites are characterized by fairly dense stands of New York fern (Thelypteris noveboracensis). Sites currently or historically known to support small whorled pogonia range in elevation from 2000 to 4000 feet. Biological Conclusion: No Effect Habitat for the small whorled pogonia consists of montane oak-hickory or acidic cove forest. No habitat for the small whorled pogonia was found along the project study area as terrestrial communities located on the restoration site are remnant bottomland hardwood forest and disturbed/pasture. No Isotria sp. were observed during the site assessment. The on-line maps of the NC Natural Heritage Program were assessed on June 5, 008, and this review did not any occurrence of small whorled pogonia within one (1) miles of the proposed project. Habitat requirements for the small whorled pogonia are not located within the project study area, and therefore, construction of the restoration project will have no effect upon the small whorled pogonia. • HISTORIC CONCERNS The NC State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) was contacted in the original feasibility study. The SHPO were provided with an updated scoping letter referencing the original inquiry for the project in 2003. This updated scoping letter described the project and had maps noting the location of the proposed project. In a letter dated June 11, 2008, the SHPO has stated that they are aware of no historic resources which would be affected by the project. A copy of this scoping letter and comments by SHPO are attached to this document. An office visit to the SHPO, the Office of State Archaeology and Architectural Surveys, to review the relevant quadrangle map was conducted on May 5, 2008. Maps for both the Office of State Archaeology and Architectural Surveys were reviewed. There were no known archaeological sites, historic properties nor previously surveyed structures noted on the USGS quadrangle maps for the PSA. Supplemental CE Documentation The PSA soils include Chewacla in Guilford County, NC. The Natural Resource Conservation Service for Guildford County was contacted regarding prime farmland, unique farmland, or farmland of statewide and local importance. This person suggested • UT West Fork Deep River Page 6 of 7 Supplemental ERTR October 2008 that a review of the NRCS Web Soil Survey, administered by the Natural Resource • Conservation Service, would provide the need information. This website noted that in Guilford County, NC the Chewacla soil was listed as a Prime Farmland if (the site) is drained and either protected from flooding or not frequently flooded during the growing season. The property of concern is the Royle Tract. In discussions with EEP, the decision was made the Royle Tract is not protected from flooding and is frequently flooded during the growing season. Therefore, the project will not impact prime farmland, unique farmland, or farmland of statewide and local importance. • UT West Fork Deep River Page 7 of 7 Supplemental ERTR October 2008 rr , t7,1 tq F /(/AI 0 U--, North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission [Q June 6, 2008 Mr. Philip Beach SEPI Engineering Group 1025 Wade Avenue Raleigh, NC 27605 RE: Unnamed Tributaries West Fork Deep Creek, Potential Stream Restoration Project, Forsyth & Guilford Counties Dear Mr. Beach: This correspondence is in response to your letter of May 28, 2008.

The project includes an unspecified amount of stream stabilization, "laying back" and other potential stream improvements and possible restoration in this headwater area of the Cape Fear River basin, These properties have been indicated to include incised and eroding streams that are somewhat lacknig in dimension, pattern and profile and adequate woody buffers. No listed threatened or endangered species are known for the area. Biologists with this agency are aware of generally poor stream habitats due to historically poor stream protection in this area. Svnilar situations are known to the west in the Abbotts Creek (Yadkin River basin). Natural stream channel and buffer improvements that restore biologically fiuictional headwaters should enhance water quality and provide wildlife benefits. only autoclnthonous plants should be used for the project.
