Site Location This project is for mitigation of stream impacts being incurred on a mixed-use development site referred to as the "Villages at Reedy Fork", northeast of Greensboro, N.C. just east of the Eckerson Road exit on US Hwy 29. At this site approximately 1430 feet of a channelized tributary (Rosgen G-type) to Reedy Fork Creek (within the Haw River Basin, USGS unit 403030002) will be restored with new planform, dimension, profile, and conservation buffers. Reedy Fork Creek, USGS HUC# 03030002, drains approximately the northern 1/2 of Guilford County within the North Carolina Piedmont Province. In this area Reedy Fork and its tributaries have a west to east drainage, before entering the Haw River and trending southeast towards the N.C. coast. This area of the Haw River drainage has been ranked by the EPA as high quality waters but with high vunerability. The greater majority of reporting water quality sampling sites in the basin show that the creeks within basin are performing for their designated uses. The restoration will recover approximately 1800 linear feet of an E/C Rosgen-type stream. Figure 1. shows the location of the impacted reach and its contributing watershed. B. Summary of Stream Mitigation/Restoration Activities a. Restoration Goals. The restoration plan submitted in 2001 clearly documented that the impaired reach had previously been channelized. and with the exception of a narrow fringe of trees and shrubs along the banks, lacked a hardwood bottomland riparian habitat within the majority of its adjacent 100 year floodplain. The goals of this restoration are to recapture natural channel, aquatic habitat and riparian characteristics along a 1430 long reach (1820 ft restored) of the un-named tributary to Reedy Fork that is identified in Figure 1. The restoration is to restore pattern, dimension and profile to natural North Carolina regime and reference reach conditions. Many areas of the channelized reach were noted as unstable and eroding when surveyed in the fall of 2000 and spring of 2001. The restoration aims to stabilize channel banks, and restore aquatic and riparian habitat. It includes a permanent easement for a 50 ft conservation buffer to both sides of the stream (measured from the bankfull edge). b. Restoration Schedule: The initial restoration plan was submitted in the summer of 2001, and amended to meet comments in the fall of 2001. Weather and DOT disturbances related to bridge work and road widenings forced the postphonement of project implementation for a 2-3 year period. The restoration plan was finally implemented from late October of 2004 to late January of 2005. Documentation of as- built conditions started in November of 2004 and was completed in January of 2005. p. 2 Figure 1.

Topographic Map Stream mitigation Study w/proposed Mitigation Site along Un•aamed ?a?caary Tributary to Reedy Fork 2004 c. Monitoring Protocol: The monitoring of the site is composed of 3 components. These are physical stream morphology, aquatic macroinvertibrate populations, and plant communities (banks and over-bank conservation buffer areas). The monitoring occurs at various stages in the planning. implementation, and post implementation phases of the xork. First, prior to any field mitigation, engineering plans were reviewed for consistency with the mitigation objectives set forth in the restoration plan. Secondly, during the mitigation work, a schedule was established for field verification to assure that the work is proceeding as planned, and in a manner which provides minimal disturbance, and maximum conservation of existing stream bed habitat. Third, a performanced-based monitoring program starts after the project is completed, and continues for 5 years. Performance-based monitoring of the physical morphology of the stream is composed of two aspects. The first is a visual qualitative program designed to detect and anticipate potential areas of stream bank or bed failure. These are walk throughs to check bed, bank, and buffer areas for physical and biological integrity, and allow problems to be detected and fixed in a timely manner. The second component is a quantitative program of stream morphology assessments that document that the restoration is achieving it's stated goals. Stream pattern, dimension, and longitudinal profile data are to be collected and compared over time to demonstrate the success of the stream mitigation work. The quantitative assessments shall occur during the 1", 3rd, and 5°i year of the 5 year period following completion of the work. Reports shall be submitted at the end of each of the years of quantitative monitoring. The physical monitoring shall also include documentation of bed grain size data, using the appropriate methodologies for mean bed particle sizes (e.g. Pebble counts for beds that are gravel/cobble based, and sieve analysis for sand and finer reaches). Macroinvertibrate sampling will follow the direction of the INTERIM, INTERNAL TECHNICAL GUIDE SUMMARY BENTHIC MACROINVERTEB RATE MONITORING PROTOCOLS FOR COMPENSATORY STREAM RESTORATION PROJECTS dated 10 May. 2000. • The monitoring plan will include data collected from a station above and within the restoration reach. Data will be collected within the relocated or restored channel during all subsequent surveys Data collected prior to construction was included in the initial Stream Restoration Report. Benthic macroinvertebrate surveys will be conducted for three years after restoration excluding the year immediately following restoration. Benthic macroinvertebrate samples will be collected during the summer months (June- September). • Sample collection will follow protocols established by the Biological Assessment Unit of the Division of Water Quality as found in the Standard Operating Procedures for the Unit. The Qual-4 collection method will be used to collect samples from this stream. • NC certified biological laboratories pursuant to administrative code 15 NCAC 2H.1100 shall conduct the identification of all Benthic macroinvertebrate samples. p. 4 • Data analysis and choice of metrics will be consistent with protocols developed by the Biological Assessment Unit of the Division of Water Quality. These protocols are described in the Standard Operating Procedures manual for the Unit. • Reports summarizing survey results will be submitted to the Division of Water Quality /Wetlands Unit within 60 days following survey completion. • An assessment of channel materials using pebble count information will be conducted at each of the biological monitoring locations and included in the report. The exclusion of the first year after completion of the restoration activities from macroinvertibrate monitoring, dictates that the physical and macroinvertibrate monitoring for the first two years of the project be implemented separately. The first physical monitoring shall be completed prior to the one year anniversary of the project (end of January of 2006), but the first of the three annual cycles of of macro inverti brate monitoring shall not commence until] the summer of 2006. The macroinvertibrate monitoring is not stipulated to be for 3 successive years, thus the 2"d and 3rd macroinvertibrate monitoring events can occur during the 3rd and 5°i year. The quantitiative monitoring of the plant communities shall be done during the same annual cycle as the physical monitoring (151 3rd and 5`" years). For bank areas three bank monitoring plots of 50 foot lengths shall be used to determine overall survivorship. For the over-bank conservation easement, three monitoring plots running for 100' section along the restoration shall be used to determine survivorship of the on a species by species basis. V Iiere appropriate `volunteer' data shall be included to accurately represent the evolution and establishment of the bottomland floodplain plant community. Section 3.

Summary & recommendations p. 7 Appendix 2 Preconstruction Macroinvertebrate Data Reedy Fork Macroinvertebrate Pre-construction Survey June 2001 As part of the pre-construction monitoring and baseline data compilation for the Reedy Fork Stream Restoration and Mitigation Project, Macroinvertebrate samples were collected from a reference reach as well as an impaired reach. The reference reach is the same stream that will be used to provide reference geomorphology parameters for the stream restoration design. The impaired reach is the same reach that has been identified for restoration during the project. The streams were sampled on June 26, 2001 by Chris Matthews (HDR) and Jim Matthews (HARP). The DWQ protocols for processing benthic macroinvertebrate samples are discussed in the STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES manual (NCEHNR 1997) and in the INTERIM, INTERNAL TECHNICAL GUIDE BENTHIC MACROINVERTEBRATE MONITORING PROTOCOLS FOR COMPENSATORY STREAM RESTORATION PROJECTS prepared by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality 401/Wetlands Unit (NCEHNR 2001). Since these tributaries to Reedy Fork are 2nd order streams, an approved collection method for smaller streams, known as the Qual-4, was used. Qual-4 collection methods are recommended for small streams, which have catchments of one square mile, or less (1st and 2nd order streams). All taxa are collected and identified, rather than just Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera (EPT) taxa, during this type of survey. The primary output for this sampling method is a taxa list with an indication of relative abundance (Rare, Common, Abundant) for each taxon. The calculation of metrics from a Qual-4 method is similar to those conducted for a standard qualitative collection method. These metrics include total and EPT taxa richness, EPT abundance and biotic index values. Currently, DWQ does not have classification criteria for small streams, therefore applicants are not required to calculate bioclas sifi cation ratings of these stream systems (NCENHR, 2001). Benthic macroinvertebrate samples are collected and preserved in the field. It is not necessary to know the total number of organisms from a specific habitat type when qualitative or semi-qualitative samples are collected. Specimens are "picked" from the sample and preserved in 95% ethanol. The Qual-4 collection method takes approximately one hour per site. Field processing samples in this fashion minimizes laboratory processing. The following table and graphs show the taxa collected, as well as, metrics for total and EPT taxa richness, EPT abundance and biotic index values.
