To: Amanda Jones, US Army Corps of Engineers

From: Josh Gilman, Buck Engineering

CC: Cyndi Karoly, NC DENR
Date: August 3, 2005

Re: Technical Design Memorandum
McAlpine Creek at Sardis Road Stream Stabilization Project
Buck Engineering Project No.: 0303.11

Existin~ Conditions

Since the disturbed area of the McAlpine Creek (see Photo 1 and Photo 2) is considered by
Mecklenburg County as an urban maintenance concern, the primary objective of this project is to
arrest the current degradation process and promote bank and bed stability. However, it is also in the
interest of the County to identify and incorporate, where possible, natural channel design concepts
inclusive of in-stream structures, bankfull benching and associated bioengineering and landscaping
activities.

This technical memorandum is intended to provide insight to the design considerations incorporated
into the McAlpine Stream Stabilization Design Documents. This summary documents the hydraulic
design criteria, geomorphic design data, and stability design criteria used to establish the proposed
dimension, pattern and profile. As noted in the permit submittal cover letter, this project is not being
used for compensatory mitigation.

Hvdraulic Desi~n Criteria

Buck Engineering estimated the existing and proposed conditions hydraulic performance for the
reach where in-stream restoration activities are proposed. Buck first performed a geomorphic
assessment and topographic survey of the existing conditions. During these activities, field indicators
of channel forming f1ow(s) in an adjacent stable reach were identified and surveyed in detail for use in
hydraulic calculations. Roughness for this reach was calibrated at base flow against on site gage
data (USGS 02146600 McAlpine Creek at Sardis Road). Channel forming flows were evaluated
using the associated stage, slope, and one-dimensional discharge calculations. Additionally,
discharges were computed for a range of recurrence intervals (between 1-yr and 2-yr) using peak
annual discharge gage data. A third method of determining discharge simply involved consulting the
urban piedmont bankfull regional curves.

These three methods produced ranges of bankfull discharge between 2,100 cfs and 2,600.
Collectively, comparisons of calculated discharge data with existing channel morphology produced
lines of converging evidence suggesting that current geometry was a function of bankfull and inner
berm discharge. The inner berm feature is an aggradational feature that occurs at stages below
bankfull. Greater emphasis was placed on the bankfull discharge computed using Manning's
equation and therefore 2,350 cfs was used as the design bankfull discharge. Inner berm discharge
was estimated between 1,160 cfs and 1,340 cfs. Buck used both the estimated inner berm and
bankfull discharges as hydraulic design criteria for the proposed channel modifications. Design
criteria for inner berm and bankfull discharge included accommodating the geomorphic design criteria
while maintaining stability.

Geomorphic Desi~n Criteria

Using cross-sectional dimension properties associated with the adjacent stable existing conditions
analysis, Buck Engineering developed dimensionless ratio design criteria. Although minor, the
proposed pattern and profile properties were compared to dimensionless ratios of our internal
reference reach database.

Buck designed a first iteration of proposed dimension and appropriate pattern to accommodate both
the geomorphic and hydraulic design criteria. Buck then made adjustments to the initial dimension
and pattern to accommodate easement and design constraints. At that point, shear stress
calculations of the existing and proposed conditions were compared to ensure a reduction and near
bank shear stress. Minimizing earthwork and area of disturbance to mature floodplain forest, Buck
developed a final dimension, pattern and profile appropriate for the design criteria.

Stability Desi~n Criteria

In addition to proposing adjustments to the channel geometry that reduce the average velocity and
bed shear stress, structural placement is proposed with the intent of redirecting flow energies and
reducing near bank shear stress. Design refinements to specific structures include conformance to
the same hydraulic criteria as that applied to the natural channel design. Final structural placement
locations and alignments are indicated on the design documents in plan and profile.

bank. 25' on the west bank). The adiacent land consists mostly of medium density residential.

Page 6 of 13

10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The proposed activities include construction of two in-stream structures. a J-hook vane and a rock
vane. Along the left bank (downstream-facing) only. inner-berm and bankfull benching will be
performed. The proposed structures and grading will act primarily to reduce ncar-bank shear stress
and secondarily to promote vertical bed diversity for aquatic habitat.

In order to resist any residual ncar-bank shear stress. armoring of the bank toe (again. left bank only)
will be applied using boulders larger than Class I. This armoring will function to prevent massive
wasting and block failure along the treated bank.

Additional treatments associated with the above activities include bioengineering (cover logs and
root-wads) and riparian landscaping (seeding. matting. live staking and bare-root
plantings/transplanting) to promote natural vegetative bank and channel development. These
bioengineering and landscaping treatments will function to complement the stability treatments and
enhance both the riparian buffer and aquatic habitat.

In order to effectively perform the above activities. a track-hoe with a hydraulic thumb should be used
for in-stream structure placement and stone toe protection. All furnished materials for use in
construction will likely be delivered at or near their proposed installation locations via dump truck.

11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: Since this disturbance is considered by Mecklenburg
County as an urban maintenance concern. the primary obiective is to arrest the current degradation
process and promote bank and bed stability.

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)

Page 9 of 13

Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. This proiect constitutes a
positive impact to the stream. By stabilizing the stream it prevents further undermining and slope failure
in the banks: thereby preventing excess sediment from entering into McAlpine Creek and causing further
degradation of aquatic habitat. The protection from bank failure will also protect the riparian and upland
vegetation. As part of the proiect there will also be instream aquatic habitat enhancement and riparian
buffer enhancement along the entire proiect reach. Construction practices will follow guidelines from the
NC Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual. Please see attached plans for further
detail.

VIII. Mitigation

DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.

USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15,2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.

If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h20.enr.state.nc. us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.

1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.

Page 10 of 13

For the entire proiect reach length there will be instream aquatic habitat enhancement and riparian
buffer enhancement, making the proiect self-mitigating. Enhancement activities include
bioengineering (cover logs and root-wads) and riparian landscaping (seeding, matting, live staking
and bare-root plantings/transplanting) to promote natural vegetative bank and channel development.
These bioengineering and landscaping treatments will function to complement the stability
treatments and enhance both the riparian buffer and aquatic habitat.

2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this fonn. For
additional infonnation regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP
website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. Ifuse of the NCEEP is proposed, please
check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following infonnation:
