EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Compass Point Mitigation Site (“the Project”) is located in Yadkin County, approximately 4.5
miles northeast of Boonville. Water quality stressors currently affecting the Project include livestock
production, agricultural production, and lack of riparian buffer. The Project presents 5,305 linear feet
(LF) of stream restoration and enhancement generating 4,404 Cool Stream Mitigation Units (SMU)
along three unnamed tributaries that drain directly to the Yadkin River.

The Project is located in the Yadkin River Basin within Cataloging Unit 03040101, 12-digit USGS
HUC 030401011001, and NCDWR sub-basin 03-07-02. The current State classification for the Yadkin
River at this location is Class C (NCDWQ 2011).

Consisting of cattle pastures and wooded areas, the Project’s total easement area is approximately 16.5
acres within the overall drainage area of 271 acres. Grazing livestock have historically had access to
most stream reaches within the Project. The lack of riparian buffer vegetation, deep-rooted vegetation,
and unstable channel characteristics have contributed to the degradation of stream banks throughout
the Project area.

Goals for the Project include an increase to hydrologic function and restoration to ecological function
within the existing stream and riparian corridor and protect these features in perpetuity. These will be
accomplished by returning the existing streams into stable conditions by constructing an E/C type
stream with appropriate dimensions and pattern, reconnecting the channel to the floodplain, and
backfilling the abandoned channel. In-stream structures will be utilized for vertical stability and to
improve habitat. Buffer improvements will filter runoff from agricultural fields, thereby reducing
nutrient and sediment loads to the channel. Livestock exclusion fence will be installed along the
easement boundary. The widening and restoration of the riparian areas will also provide wildlife
corridors throughout the Project area. Benefits to be accrued from these activities include improved
water quality, and terrestrial and aquatic habitat.

The stream design approach for the Project is to combine the analog method of natural channel design
with analytical methods to evaluate stream flows and hydraulic performance of the channel and
floodplain. The analog method involves the use of a reference reach, or “template” stream, adjacent to,
nearby, or previously in the same location as the design reach. The template parameters of the analog
reach are replicated to create the features of the design reach. The analog approach is useful when
watershed and boundary conditions are similar between the design and analog reaches (Skidmore et al.,
2001). Hydraulic geometry is developed using analytical methods to identify the design discharge.

After completion of all construction and planting activities, the Project will be monitored on a regular
basis throughout the seven-year post-construction monitoring period, or until performance standards
are met. Upon approval for closeout by the Interagency Review Team (IRT), the site will be transferred
to Unique Places to Save (UP2S). This party shall serve as conservation easement holder and long-term
steward for the property and will conduct periodic inspection of the site to ensure that restrictions
required in the conservation easement are upheld. Endowment funds required to uphold easement and
deed restrictions will be finalized prior to site transfer to the responsible party.

1 PROJECT INTRODUCTION
Project Components
The Compass Point Mitigation Site (“Project”) is located within a rural watershed in Yadkin County,
approximately 4.5 miles northeast of Boonville. The Project lies within the Yadkin River Basin, North
Carolina Department of Water Resources (NCDWR) sub-basin 03-07-02 and United States Geological
Survey (USGS) 12-digit hydrologic unit code (HUC) 030401011001 (Figure 1). The Project is being
designed to help meet compensatory mitigation requirements for stream impacts in the HUC 03040101.
The Project proposes to restore 3,524 linear feet (LF), enhance 1,781 LF of existing stream, and provide
water quality benefit for 271 acres of drainage area. The Project is in the Northern Inner Piedmont
Level IV ecoregion.

The Project is comprised of a single easement location along three unnamed tributaries to the Yadkin
River, totaling 5,305 linear feet. The stream mitigation components are summarized in Table 1 and
Figure 10. The Project is accessible from Pulliam Road. Coordinates for the Project are as follows:
36.269624, -80.638420.
Project Outcomes
The streams proposed for restoration have been significantly impacted by livestock production,
agricultural practices, and a lack of riparian buffer. Proposed improvements to the Project will help
meet the river basin needs expressed in the 2009 Upper Yadkin Pee-Dee River Basin Restoration
Priorities (RBRP) as well as ecological improvements to riparian corridor within the easement.

Through stream restoration and enhancement, the Project presents 5,305 LF of proposed stream,
generating 4,404 Cool Stream Mitigation Units (SMU) (Table 1). This mitigation plan is consistent
with the October 20, 2017 IRT site visit notes (Appendix H).

2 WATERSHED APPROACH AND SITE SELECTION
The DMS 2009 Upper Yadkin Pee-Dee RBRP identified several restoration needs for the entire Yadkin
River Basin, as well as for HUC 03040101. More specifically, goals outlined in the 2009 RBRP for the
watershed include:

1. Restoration of water quality and aquatic habitat in impaired stream segments;

2. Protection of high-resource value waters, including HQW, ORW, and WSW designated waters
and those containing large numbers of rare and endangered species (Natural Heritage Element
Occurences);

3. Continuation of existing watershed restoration and protection initiatives and projects,
including efforts funded by Clean Water Management Trust Fund (CWMTF), DWQ’s 319
Program, NC EEP, Ag Cost Share Program (ACSP) and Community Conservation Assistance
Program (CCAP);

4. Collaborative efforts with local resource agencies, land trusts and willing landowners to
implement new stream, riparian buffer and wetland restoration, enhancement and preservation
projects within TLWs;

5. Improved management of stormwater runoff (including the implementation of stormwater BMP
projects), especially in urban and suburban areas contributing to downstream degradation of
stream habitat and impairment of water quality; and

6. Implementation of agricultural BMPs in order to limit inputs of sediment, nutrients, and fecal
coliform to streams from active farming operations.

Site Selection
The Project was identified as a stream and buffer restoration opportunity to improve water quality,
habitat, and hydrology within the Yadkin River Basin within the 2009 Upper Yadkin Pee-Dee RBRP.
The site lends itself to accomplish multiple RBRP goals along Project reaches due to an absence of
riparian buffers, cattle access to the stream, and the historic land use, which has led to channelization.
Many of the Project design goals and objectives will address major watershed stressors identified in the
2009 RBRP. Project-specific goals and objectives will be addressed further in Section 5. A project
watershed map with the Project’s drainage areas is shown on Figure 2 and watershed planning priority
boundaries are shown on Figure 1.

The Project will address two of the six goals outlined in the 2009 Upper Yadkin Pee-Dee RBRP.
Establishing riparian buffers, instream structures, and increasing bedform diversity will help address
RBRP Goal 1, but achievement will not be quantified. The Project will include the use of agricultural
BMPs to limit inputs of sediment, nutrients, and fecal coliform to streams from active farming
operations (RBRP Goal 6).

The land required for the construction, management, and stewardship of this Project includes one parcel
in Yadkin County with the following ownership in Table 2 & Figure 3. Once finalized, a copy of the
land protection instrument will be included in Appendix C. The Wilmington District Conservation
Easement model template will be utilized to draft the site protection instrument.

3 BASELINE AND EXISTING CONDITIONS
Watershed Summary Information
Drainage Area and Land Use
The Project area is comprised of three tributaries that converge, flow south to north, and drain directly
into the Yadkin River. The total drainage area for the Project is 271 acres (0.42 mi2). Primary land use
within the rural watershed consists of approximately 60.4 percent forest and 33.7 percent agricultural
land. Impervious area covers less than one percent of the total watershed (Table 3 & Figure 4). Within
the agricultural land use, pastureland accounts for 62.5 percent of the area, and row crops account for
approximately 37.5 percent of the area. Although the project watershed is primarily forested, the
majority of the agricultural areas within the watershed are in close proximity to the Project and play a
significant role in the degradation of the Project streams. These activities have negatively impacted
both water quality and streambank stability along the Project streams and their tributaries. The resulting
observed stressors include excess nutrient input, streambank erosion, sedimentation, livestock access
to streams, channel modification, and the loss of riparian buffers.

Surface Water Classification
The Project streams drain to a portion of the Yadkin River that has been classified as Class C Waters
(NCDWQ 2011).

Class C waters are protected for uses such as secondary recreation, fishing, wildlife, fish consumption,
aquatic life including propagation, survival and maintenance of biological integrity, and agriculture.
Secondary recreation includes wading, boating, and other uses involving human body contact with
water where such activities take place in an infrequent, unorganized, or incidental manner (NCDWQ
2011).
Landscape Characteristics
The Project is located in the Northern Inner Piedmont Level IV ecoregion, which is characterized by
rolling to hilly higher elevations than the Southern Outer Piedmont, more rugged topography, and more
monadnocks or mountain outliers than other areas of the Piedmont. It has colder temperatures, more
snowfall, and a shorter growing season than in Southern Inner, Southern Outer, Northern Outer, and
Carolina Slate Belt Piedmont regions. It has mostly mesic soils rather than the thermic soils that cover
other regions of the Carolina Piedmont. The region contains more Virginia pine and less shortleaf pine
than Southern Outer Piedmont and Carolina Slate Belt, more chestnut oak, and many mountain disjunct
plant species. Streams tend to have higher gradients than in the Outer Piedmont regions and contain
many mountain-type macroinvertebrate species.
Compass Point Mitigation Plan 5 August 2018

Existing Vegetation
Vegetation around the unbuffered reaches of Project streams are primarily composed of herbaceous
pasture weeds, fescue, and some scattered trees. In general, these riparian zones are disturbed due to
regular land management activities, including active pasture and crop land. On June 21, 2018 three
100m2 plots were surveyed along the floodplain of Project tributaries, to categorize the existing
vegetation communities. Forested riparian areas along the majority of Project have been intermittently
cattle-grazed and lack a well-developed understory and shrub strata. Additionally, a portion of the left
bank of DW1-B shows signs of being historically managed for timber harvest, resulting in an early
successional habitat with young trees and many invasive shrubs and herbaceous plants. For this reason,
representative plots were surveyed along reaches DW1-B in active pasture, DW1-C in historic timber
harvest disturbance, and DW1-D in historically used pasture land (Appendix B). Within each
vegetation plot, all trees ≥5 inch (12.7cm) diameter at breast height (DBH) were identified, measured,
and used to calculate both basal area and stems per acre. Trees ≥54 inches (137cm) in height were used
to quantify tree species diversity. Canopy species data was calculated to quantify the existing natural
community (Schafale, 2012) (Table 4). Shrub species and herbaceous species were also identified, and
the percent cover was estimated.

bracteata), horseweed (Conyza canadensis), dock (Rumex sp), plantain (Plantago sp.), and goldenrod
(Solidago sp.).

Invasive species were also found within the vegetation survey plots, and in the vicinity of the site: tree
of heaven (Ailanthus altissima), Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora),
oriental bittersweet (Celestrus orbiculatus), and Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica). Non-native
Compass Point Mitigation Plan 6 August 2018

species included smooth brome (Bromus inermis), red clover (Trifolium pratense), white clover
(Trifolium repens), Japanese stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum), black medic (Medicago lupulina),
mock strawberry (Duchesnea indica), annual meadow grass (Poa annua), tall fescue (Festuca

vulgare), common mullein (Verbascum thapsus), sacred bamboo (Nandina domestica), common
chickweed (Stellaria media), and common stork’s-bill (Erodium cicutarium).
Existing Wetlands
A survey of existing wetlands was performed on November 16, 2017. Wetland boundaries were
delineated using current methodology outlined in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetland
Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory 1987). Soils were characterized and classified using
the Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States, Version 7.0 (USDA-NRCS 2010). Within the
boundaries of the proposed Project, three jurisdictional wetlands are present near Reach DW1
(Appendix F & Figure 5), and are labeled as WA (Wetland A), WB (Wetland B), and WC (Wetland
C). WA is approximately 0.05 acres in size, WB is approximately 0.03 acres in size, and WC is
approximately 0.13 acres in size. Large portions of WA are under active management for cattle. WB
and WC are located on either side of an agricultural culvert crossing where the outlet from the off-site
pond drains into Reach DW1-B. Vegetation within the wetland areas was made up of white oak, eastern
redcedar, Virginia pine, Chinese privet, tag alder (Alnus serrulate), blackberry, tearthumb (Persicaria
sagittata), Pennsylvania smartweed, common rush (Juncus effuses), dogfennel, yellow nutsedge
(Cyperus esculentus), and swamp aster (Symphyotrichum puniceum). Outside of the easement and
wetland areas, cattle are actively managed for, and fescue is the dominant forage. A preliminary
jurisdictional determination (PJD) request was sent to the USACE on December 8, 2017 and an
approved PJD was received on March 6, 2018 (SAW-2018-01462) (Appendix F).

The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetland Inventory Map (NWI) does not depict
any potential wetland areas within the Project, but there is a freshwater pond mapped east of the Project
area (Figure 6).
Geology
According to geology data from the North Carolina Geologic Survey, published in 1985, the Project is
located in map unit CZmg, occurring in the Inner Piedmont, Chauga Belt, Smith River Allochthon, and
Sauratown Mountain that formed in the later Proterozoic to Paleozoic era. This rock type is comprised
of metagraywacke (biotite gnesiss) interlayered and gradational with muscovite-biotite schist with
minor marble and granite rock.
Soil Survey
Existing soil information from the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) shows the property
is located within the Cecil-Appling soil association. This association is deep, well-drained, medium-
textured soils found over gneiss, granite, and schist, located on broad, gently rolling ridges.

The Yadkin County Soil Survey shows eight mapping units across the Project. The soil series found on
the Project are described below and summarized in Table 5. Project soils are mapped by the NRCS as
Codorus loam, Delila fine sandy loam, Fairview sandy clay loam, Fairview-Gullied land complex,
Fairview-Stott Knob complex, Ronda loamy sand, Ronda sand, and Woolwine-Fairview-Westfield
complex within the easement (Figure 7). Codorus loam is occasionally flooded, somewhat poorly
drained soil that is found on depressions on floodways. Delila fine sandy loam is poorly drained, occurs
on depressions and is found on approximately 43 percent of the Project. Fairview sandy clay loam is
moderately eroded, well drained, and found on interfluves. Fairview-Gullied land complex and
Fairview-Stott Knob complex are both well drained and occur on hillslopes on ridges. Ronda loamy
Compass Point Mitigation Plan 7 August 2018

sand and Ronda sand are both excessively drained and found in natural levees on floodplains.
Woolwine-Fairview-Westfield complex is moderately eroded, well drained, and found on hillslopes
and ridges.

Codorus loam. This is a very deep, somewhat poorly drained soil that occurs on depressions on
floodplains. They formed in loamy alluvium derived from igneous and metamorphic rock and generally
occur on slopes less than two percent. Runoff is very high. Major uses are for cultivated crops or
pasture. Codorus loam occurs in 11.1 percent of the easement.

Delila fine sandy loam. This is a very deep, poorly drained soil that occurs on depressions and
toeslopes. They formed in alluvium and/or colluvium over saprolite derived from granite and gneiss,
and generally occur on slopes less than six percent. Runoff is negligible, and permeability is slow.
Major uses are for pasture and idle land. Delila fine sandy loam occurs in 42.7 percent of the total
easement area.

Fairview soils. These are very deep, well-drained soils that occur on Piedmont uplands, hills, ridges,
and interfluves. They formed in residuum from felsic metamorphic or igneous rock and generally occur
on slopes between two and 60 percent. Runoff can be low or high and permeability is moderate. Major
uses are cultivated crops and pasture land. Fairview soils occur in 33.2 percent of the easement.

Ronda soils. These are very deep, excessively drained sandy soils on nearly level to gently sloping
floodplains in the mesic southern Piedmont. They formed in sandy alluvium washed from soils formed
in residuum from schist, gneiss, granite, phyllite, and other metamorphic and igneous rocks. Slopes
ranged from zero to six percent. Runoff is very slow and permeability is rapid. Major uses include
cultivated crops or pasture land. Ronda soils occur on six percent of the easement.

Woolwine-Fairview-Westfield complex. This is a very deep, well-drained soil that occurs on
hillslopes on ridges in the Piedmont upland. They formed in residuum from felsic or intermediate
metamorphic or igneous rock, and generally occur on slopes between 15-45 percent. Runoff is high and
permeability is moderate. Major uses include cultivated crops, pasture, and forest. Woolwine-Fairview-
Westfield occurs in 6.9 percent of the easement.

Land Use - Historic, Current, and Future
Historic aerial imagery indicates that the Project area has been used extensively for agricultural
purposes, and that the location of the streams has not significantly changed in over 50 years (Figure
8). Several watershed characteristics, such as groundwater, vegetation, surface drainage, and potentially
soil parameters have been modified. Soil structure and surface texture have been altered from intensive
agricultural operations.

The Project area is currently still in agricultural use and is being used as pasture for cattle. Livestock
have full access to the project reaches, and these reaches remain heavily impacted. The middle area of
the Project has been somewhat revegetated with invasive shrubs and the northern portion shows far less
cattle disturbance since the 1970s. Outside the Project area is also mostly in agricultural use and where
it is not, remains heavily forested.

The future land use for the Project area will include an established 16.5-acre conservation easement,
that will be protected in perpetuity. The Project easement will have 5,305 linear feet of high functioning
streams, a minimum 50-foot riparian buffer, and will be protected with fencing. Outside the Project
will likely remain in agricultural use. Much of the forested area in the immediate vicinity of the Project
has steep terrain, and if it is cleared, will likely be used for pasture rather than cropland due to the
erosive properties of the soils in the area.
Regulatory Considerations and Potential Constraints
Property, Boundary, and Utilities
There are two planned crossings within the Project. These crossings will occur at easement breaks and
will allow landowners to continue current land-use and access as needed. One crossing will be a new
culvert and one will be an improved ford. The first (a culvert) is between DW1-C and DW1-D and is
Compass Point Mitigation Plan 9 August 2018

approximately 60 feet wide. The second easement break (a ford) is directly below the DW1-A and
DW2-B confluence and is approximately 40 feet wide. An existing powerline easement is located at
the southern edge of the Project, limiting the extent of headwater reaches. The final reach that drains
the Project to the Yadkin River experiences frequent flooding from the river and therefore will be
enhanced with exclusion fencing and supplemental planting as needed.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)/ Hydrologic Trespass
According to the North Carolina Floodplain Mapping Information System, the Project includes a
portion of the of Project within the FEMA 100-year flood zone (Zone AE, one percent annual chance
of flooding) (Figure 9). Reaches DW1-E and DW1-D, where the Project connects to the Yadkin River,
is in a regulated floodway zone. Hydraulic modeling will be required to determine whether restoration
activities will have an effect on 100-year flood elevations downstream. The design and permitting of
the mitigation will include coordination with the Yadkin County Floodplain Administrator and a No-
Rise Certification or CLOMR/LOMR will be secured. No hydrologic trespass will be permitted to
adjacent properties upstream or downstream of the project. The Project can be found on Flood Insurance
Rate Map (FIRM) Panel 37171C (map number 3710590000K), effective date August 18, 2009.
Environmental Screening and Documentation
To ensure that a project meets environmental screening, scoping letters were sent to the regulatory
agencies of the IRT (Appendix H).
Threatened and Endangered Species
Plants and animals with a federal classification of endangered or threatened are protected under
provisions of Sections 7 and 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. The USFWS
database lists one Federally listed species that may occur in proximity to the Project: the Northern long-
eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis). No protected species or potential habitat for protected species was
observed during preliminary project evaluations. Species and species habitat listed in the USFWS
database was inspected during the field investigation to determine whether they occur at the Project.
No individual species or habitats were identified on site. Potential impacts to species and habitat off-
site, downstream, and within the vicinity of the Project were also considered.

Formal USFWS consultation for Northern long-eared bat (NLEB) is not required for this Site since it
is entirely located outside of the confirmed hibernation and maternity site for the species. Therefore,
this project has met the criteria for the 4(d) rule, any associated take is therefore exempt. Furthermore,
the USFWS encourages to remove trees outside the pup season (June 1 to July 31) and/or active season
(April 1 to October 31) to reduce the chance of impacting unidentified maternity roosts; and to avoid
clearing habitat within a 5-mile radius of hibernation sites when bats are emerging from or preparing
for hibernation (April 1 to May 15 and August 15 to November 14, respectively).

The Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act requires consultation with state fish and wildlife agencies when
“waters of any stream or other body of water are proposed or authorized, permitted or licensed to be
impounded, diverted…or otherwise controlled or modified. The North Carolina Wildlife Resource
Commission (NCWRC) responded to the USACE Public Notice, issued on September 6, 2017, on
October 26, 2017. The NCWRC indicated that there is potential for two rare mussels, the brook floater
(Alasmidonta varicosa) and creeper (Strophitus undulates) (state endangered and state threatened,
respectively) to be present in the Yadkin River in the vicinity of the Project area. NCWRC recommends
riparian buffer widening and protection, as well as erosion and sediment control at this site.
Documentation is included in Appendix H.

Cultural Resources
A review of North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) GIS Web Service (accessed
June 11, 2017) database did not reveal any listed or potentially eligible historic or archeological
resources on the proposed Project property. There is one site, half a mile away, on the other side of the
Yadkin River. The site is listed as the Rockford Historic District (Site ID SR0004). There are no
anticipated impacts from Project activities to state surveyed properties as there are none in the proposed
project vicinity or watershed.

A letter was sent to SHPO on July 7, 2017 with the prospectus. The letter described the Project and
requested a review and comment of potential cultural resources occurring within the vicinity of the
Project. SHPO responded on November 7, 2017 stating that there will be no effect on historic resources.

Reach Summary Information
The Project area is comprised of a contiguous easement area along three unnamed tributaries that
converge and drain directly to the Yadkin River. The easement has two agricultural crossings; one
between DW1-C and DW1-B, and the second easement break is on DW2-B near the confluence with
DW1-A. The stream channels include the main unnamed tributary and two additional tributaries that
converge from the east, then split into eight reaches based on proposed treatment type (Figure 5).
Results of the preliminary data collection are presented in Table 7.

In general, all or portions of all eight Project reaches do not function to their full potential. Current
conditions demonstrate significant habitat degradation as a result of impacts from agriculture, livestock
production, and lack of riparian buffer. Being heavily eroded and incised, some of the streams do not
access their floodplains as frequently as they naturally would have prior to agricultural operations. In
many cases in the lower elevations, the riparian buffer is in poor condition where much of the riparian
buffer is devoid of trees or shrubs up to the edge of the existing channel or comprised largely of invasive
species. In some reaches, trees are present, but understory riparian buffer has been heavily impacted by
cattle. Habitat along the majority of the restoration reaches is poor in that there is little woody debris
or overhanging vegetation for fish cover or protection for other aquatic species. Morphological
parameters are located in Appendix B.

Channel Classification
All stream reaches have been classified as perennial using the NCDWR Stream Identification Form
version 4.11 and are B-, C-, and G- stream types as classified using the Rosgen stream classification
system (Rosgen, 1996). Channel characteristics are summarized in Table 7 and Appendix B. Stream
determinations have been verified by the USACE.
Discharge
Estimating flows (discharge) for the Project is difficult due to the channelization and agricultural
impacts of the existing streams. A combination of gauge analysis, regional curves, and hydraulic and
hydrologic analysis were used to estimate existing bankfull discharges. Land use and slope were
considered when the discharge calculations were developed. All hydraulic and hydrologic analyses are
discussed in Section 6.2. Data and analysis of the hydrologic and hydraulic models are included as
Appendix B.
Existing Channel Morphology
DW1-A
Reach DW1-A is 288 linear feet and is located in the southwest corner of the Project area and flows
northeast to a confluence with DW2-B. The reach is straightened, with almost no riparian buffer and
primarily fescue up to the banks. Bed and bank stability are good throughout the reach due to extended
riparian buffers upstream and a relatively small watershed size. The channel top width ranges from 10-
13 feet with maximum depths of two to three feet. The drainage area for the reach is approximately 96
acres.

DW1-B
Reach DW1-B is 2,014 linear feet and, combined with DW1-C and DW1-D, comprises the primary
Project reach, flowing from the confluence of DW1-A and DW2-B in a northerly direction towards
reach DW1-C. The reach is mostly wooded along the banks, but disturbance to the understory,
particularly at the top of the reach, remains widespread due to cattle access. Bed and bank stability are
low throughout the reach due to heavy cattle access and increased water transport. The channel top
width ranges from 10-20 feet with maximum depths of five to six feet. The drainage area for the reach
is approximately 237 acres.
DW1-C
Reach DW1-C is 600 linear feet and located along the northern portion of the Project where an easement
break exists at the proposed agricultural crossing. There is a dirt road that comes within 50-feet of the
Compass Point Mitigation Plan 12 August 2018

channel near the downstream end of the channel. The reach begins in the forested downstream end of
DW1-B and flows northeast towards DW1-D. The reach is mostly wooded along the left bank with a
mixture of sparse vegetation and minimal buffer on the right bank. The reach is laterally unstable with
moderate to severe bank erosion along the riffles and outer meander bends. The channel top width
ranges from 15-30 feet with maximum depths of three to five feet. The drainage area for the reach is
approximately 256 acres.
DW1-D
Reach DW1-D is 741 linear feet and located in the northern portion of the Project area and flows in a
northerly direction from an agricultural crossing to reach DW1-E. The reach has a small riparian buffer
but remains highly disturbed from the agricultural road and cattle access. Bed and bank stability are
low throughout the reach because continual cattle access, increased water transport, and channel
straightening have led to heavy bank incision. This reach has patches of high quality cobble and
bedrock. The channel top width ranges from 20-40 feet with maximum depths of four to six feet. The
drainage area for the reach is approximately 269 acres.

DW1-E
Reach DW1-E is 432 linear feet and located in the northernmost portion of the Project area and drains
the entire Project watershed to the Yadkin River. The channel has some large trees on the banks, but
the riparian buffer consists mostly of row crops and disturbed brush habitat. The channel has been
widened and deeply incised from straightening, watershed land practices, and intermittent flooding
from the Yadkin River. Due to its high disturbance, particularly from flooding events, bed and bank
stability are low throughout the reach. The drainage area for the reach is approximately 271 acres.

DW2-A
Reach DW2-A is 968 linear feet and located in the southeast portion of the Project area and flows west
to a confluence with reach DW3. This reach maintains some disturbed buffer as it is bordered by upland
pasture on the right bank and an upland powerline easement on the left bank. There are areas of
moderate to severe bank erosion scattered throughout the reach while other banks are stable due to the
influence of rooted woody vegetation. Bed stability is good throughout the reach because of the small
watershed size and undesirable habitat for cattle, despite allowing cattle access throughout. The channel
top width ranges from 10-30 feet with maximum depths of two to three feet.
DW2-B
Reach DW2-B is 306 linear feet and located in the southern portion of the Project and flows northwest
from the confluence of DW2-A and DW3 to the confluence with DW1-B. Channel banks are incised
throughout the reach due to the lack of riparian buffer and cattle access. The channel top width ranges
from 10-15 feet with maximum depths of three to five feet. The drainage area for the reach is
approximately 90 acres.

DW3
Reach DW3 is 93 linear feet and located in the southern portion of the Project. The reach flows from
the bordering powerline easement, north to a confluence with DW2-B. Existing land use along this
reach is disturbed woodland, with occasional cattle access and a maintained powerline upstream. The
reach is fairly stable. The channel top width ranges from five to 10 feet with maximum depths of two
to three feet.
Channel Stability Assessment
A modified version of the channel stability assessment method (“channel assessment”) provided in
“Assessing Stream Channel Stability at Bridges in Physiographic Regions” by Johnson (2006) was used
Compass Point Mitigation Plan 13 August 2018

to assess channel stability for the Project’s existing channels. This method may be rapidly applied on a
variety of stream types in different physiographic regions having a range of bed and bank materials.
The original channel assessment method was designed to evaluate 13 stability indicators in the field.
These parameters are: watershed characteristics (frequency of watershed disturbances such as
agricultural activities, urbanization, etc), flow habit, channel pattern, entrenchment/channel
confinement, bed material, bar development, presence of obstructions/debris jams, bank soil texture
and coherence, average bank angle, bank vegetation/protection, bank cutting, mass wasting/bank
failure, and upstream distance to bridge. See Appendix B for a detailed description of the stability
indicators. As this method was initially developed to assess stability at bridges, a few minor adjustments
were made to remove indicators that contradict stability characteristics of natural channels in favor of
providing hydraulic efficiency at bridges. First, the “channel pattern” indicator was altered such that
naturally meandering channels scored low as opposed to straightened/engineered channels that are
favorable for stability near bridges. Secondly, the last indicator, “upstream distance to bridge”, was
removed from the assessment as bridges are not a focus of channel stability for this project. The 12
indicators were then scored in the field, and a rating of excellent, good, fair, or poor was assigned to
each project reach based on the total score.

The channel assessment results (scores and ratings) for the Project are provided in Table 8. Two of the
eight project stream reaches received “Fair” ratings, one reach received a “Poor” rating, while five
reaches received “Good” ratings. Most Project streams were observed to have relatively high bank
angles and many were found to be actively eroding. A majority of the channels have been impacted by
farming practices or livestock production, and most are slightly entrenched. These characteristics are
reflected in the higher channel assessment scores for average bank angle and bank
vegetation/protection. Most reaches also scored poorly for watershed characteristics since the
surrounding land use is dominated by agriculture activities.

Bankfull Verification
Bankfull is difficult and often times impossible to accurately identify on actively maintained channels
and agricultural ditches. The usual and preferred indicators rarely exist, and other factors may be taken
into consideration in order to approximate a bankfull stage. Other factors that may be used are wrack
lines, vegetation lines, scour lines, or top of a bankfull bench; however, complete confidence should
not be placed on these indicators. Along the proposed restoration reaches, the channel is generally
entrenched and actively maintained, which means bankfull indicators were very limited or non-existent.
Therefore, bankfull stage was estimated by using Piedmont Regional Curves and other hydrologic
analyses, existing cross sections, and in-house spreadsheets to estimate bankfull area and bankfull
discharge.

4 FUNCTIONAL UPLIFT POTENTIAL
The Stream Functions Pyramid Framework (Harman et. al. 2012) uses stream functions to describe
project objectives, existing condition assessments and monitoring, performance metrics, and design
criteria. The Framework separates stream functions into five categories, ordered into a hierarchy, which
communicate the interrelations among functions and illustrate the dependence of higher level functions
(biology, physiochemical and geomorphology) on lower level functions (hydrology and hydraulics).
Functions that affect the greatest number of other functions are illustrated at the base of the Pyramid,
while functions that have the least effect on other functions are illustrated at the top. The Pyramid is
illustrated below Chart 1.

Chart 1. Stream Functions Pyramid

Fischenich (2006) found that the most critical functions include those that address hydrodynamic
processes, sediment transport processes, stream stability and riparian buffer restoration. By addressing
these fundamental functions and processes, a restored stream and riparian system are capable of
supporting more dependent functions that typically require time to establish, such as diverse biological
communities, chemical and nutrient processes, diverse habitats and improved water and soil quality.
The objectives of the Project will address the most critical functional objectives that will allow for a
more restored stream and riparian buffer over time.

While traditional mitigation approaches have generally relied on surrogate measures of success (i.e.
linear feet of restoration) for determining SMU credit yields, a function-based approach provides a
Compass Point Mitigation Plan 18 August 2018

more objective and flexible approach to quantify the expected ecological benefits of a mitigation
design. Additionally, a functional based approach broadens the reach-scale goals of a restoration project
by contextualizing the functional uplift to the watershed scale. The Project will provide numerous
ecological and water quality benefits within the Yadkin River Basin by applying an ecosystem
restoration approach. The restoration approach at the reach scale of this project will have the greatest
effect on the hydraulic and geomorphology function of the system but will benefit the upper-level
functions (physiochemical and biology) over time, and in combination with other projects within the
watershed. Anticipated functional benefits and improvements within the Project area, as based on the
Function-Based Framework are outlined in Table 9.
Anticipated Functional Benefits and Improvements
Hydrology
According to the Stream Functions Pyramid Framework, hydrology is defined as the transport of water
from the watershed to the channel. Therefore, this Project intends to make significant improvements to
the already functioning hydrology, making it high functioning. Much of the improvement will come
from altering land use within these reaches’ catchment areas. By converting land-use for a significant
percentage of the catchment area from pasture to riparian forest, curve numbers will decrease and reach
runoff will improve.
Hydraulic
The hydraulic function of the Pyramid is defined as transport of water in the channel, on the floodplain,
and through sediments. Perhaps the greatest potential uplift at the Project will be achieved through
establishing healthy floodplain connectivity. Reaches in the Project do not have functioning floodplain
connectivity or stable flow dynamics. Reaches where floodplain connectivity is not-functioning or
functioning-at-risk will be improved to functioning by reducing bank height ratios and increasing
entrenchment ratios. Reaches in which stable flow dynamics are not-functioning or functioning-at-risk
will be improved to functioning by constructing a new channel that is geometrically stable based on the
Project’s hydrology inputs. Additionally, instream structures will be installed to address the energy and
erosive power of the water so that a stable base flow is achieved post-project.
Geomorphology
Geomorphology as defined within the Pyramid Framework, is the transport of wood and sediment to
create bed forms and dynamic equilibrium. Sediment Transport will be improved in reaches that
currently function-at-risk or not-functioning by designing channels that transport sediment until it
reaches an appropriate place to settle, like a point bar. Large Woody Debris Transport and Storage will
be improved through the use of woody debris such as log vanes, root wads, log weirs, and log toes for
in-stream structures on restoration and enhancement I reaches. The restoration reaches are also designed
to accumulate woody debris by having defined shallow riffles where cobble catches and holds woody
debris and leaf packs. Riparian vegetation is functioning in some areas, but is either functioning-at-risk
or not-functioning on most reaches. Therefore, riparian buffers will be planted out to a minimum of 50
feet to improve the riparian vegetation to functioning levels. Bed form diversity will be improved in
restoration areas by using a natural riffle pool sequence from the reference reach to inform design of
functioning riffle pool sequences in constructed channels based on reference reach conditions. This bed
form diversity will also further improve aquatic habitat. These functional parameters are interconnected
and ultimately depend on each other in order to function properly. Therefore, by focusing improvements
to these parameters, the restored channels will achieve dynamic equilibrium and provide maximum
geomorphic functional uplift.
Compass Point Mitigation Plan 19 August 2018

Physiochemical
The Pyramid Framework defines the physicochemical category as temperature and oxygen regulation
and the processing of organic matter and nutrients. Although this Project would support the overarching
goal in the Yadkin Pee-Dee RBRP to promote nutrient and sediment reduction in agricultural areas, it
is difficult to measure nutrient and sediment reduction at this project level because they can be affected
by so many variables. However, several restoration actions are known to help reduce nutrients and
sediment even though they may not be measurable at the project level. These activities include cattle
exclusion and direct removal of fecal inputs, filtering of runoff through buffer areas, the conversion of
active farm fields to forested buffers, and improved denitrification and nutrient uptake through buffer
zones. Additional benefits may also come from functional uplift of the lower level stream functions
(hydraulics and geomorphology), which will reduce sediment and nutrients in the system through bank
stabilization and reforesting. Temperature regulation will also be improved through the restoration of
canopy tree species to the stream buffer areas. Oxygen regulation will occur through two actions: first,
the temperature of the water directly impacts the amount of gas held by the water. Therefore, through
planting the buffer to shade the channel the temperature is decreased, and dissolved oxygen is increased.
Second, the log structures placed in the stream create mixing zones where oxygen dissolves much faster
than the standard exchange rate of oxygen to dissolved oxygen. The processing of organic matter will
be improved once healthy riffles are shallow enough to catch twigs and branches that then retain leaves.
Many of these physiochemical benefits occur slowly over time and are dependent on multiple variables
within the stream ecosystem. Therefore, it is not practical or feasible to directly measure these
parameters within the monitoring time-frame of this project. With that said, it is logical to use existing
riparian buffer and visual performance standards to demonstrate the positive correlation between
geomorphic parameters and physicochemical parameters. For example, as riparian buffer trees grow,
as represented in annual monitoring reports, it is anticipated that canopy cover is actively shading the
stream channel and reducing water temperature. This is not a substitute for direct physicochemical
monitoring, but it is a useful tool to help project the long-term benefits of the Project in terms of its
functional uplift.
Biology
The highest category of the Pyramid is biology and is defined as the biodiversity and life histories of
aquatic and terrestrial life, specifically referring to animals. As mentioned for the physiochemical
stream function, it will be difficult to measure the functional uplift of the biological functions at this
site within the monitoring period of the project. However, since the life histories of many species likely
to benefit from stream and wetland restoration are depending on all the lower-level functions, the
functional uplift from the hydraulic and geomorphic levels would have a positive effect to the biology
over time and in combination with other projects within the watershed is anticipated. Again, there is no
substitute for direct biological monitoring, but it is important to understand the hierarchy of the Stream
Functions Pyramid Framework in order to help project long-term benefits of the Project though only
categories two and three (hydraulics and geomorphology) will be directly measured during the seven-
year monitoring period.

5 MITIGATION PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
Through the comprehensive analysis of the Project’s maximum functional uplift using the Stream
Functions Pyramid Framework, specific, attainable goals and objectives will be realized by the Project.
These goals clearly address the degraded water quality and nutrient input from farming that were
identified as major watershed stressors in the 2009 Upper Yadkin Pee-Dee River RBRP. The Project
will address outlined RBRP Goals 1 and 6 (listed in Section 2).

The Project goals are:
• Improve water transport from watershed to the channel in a non-erosive manner in a stable
channel;
• Improve flood flow attenuation on site and downstream by allowing for overbank flows and
connection to the active floodplain;
• Improve instream habitat;
• Restore and enhance native floodplain vegetation; and
• Indirectly support the goals of the 2009 Upper Yadkin Pee-Dee RBRP to improve water quality
and to reduce sediment and nutrient loads.

The Project objectives to address the goals are:
• Design and reconstruct stream channels sized to convey bankfull flows that will maintain a
stable dimension, profile, and planform based on modeling, watershed conditions, and
reference reach conditions;
• Add in-stream structures and bank stabilization measures to protect restored and enhanced
streams;
• Install habitat features such as brush toes, constructed riffles, woody materials, and pools of
varying depths to restored and enhanced streams;
• Reduce bank height ratios and increase entrenchment ratios to reference reach conditions;
• Increase forested riparian buffers to at least 50 feet on both sides of the channel along the
Project reaches with a hardwood riparian plant community;
• Treat exotic invasive species; and
• Establish a permanent conservation easement on the Project that will exclude future livestock
from stream channels and their associated buffers.

Anticipated functional benefits and improvements within the Project area, as based on the Function
Based Framework are outlined in Table 9.

Limitations to achieving these watershed goals arise by remaining constrained to the project boundaries.
While we are restoring the habitat and streams to stable and effective conditions that achieve our goals
within the Project parcels, we are unable to influence the effect of all riparian buffers and livestock
impact in other areas within the watershed. However, with responsible restoration and stewardship of
the majority of reaches within this small watershed, overall watershed functionality and health will
improve to meet the RBRP goals.
Compass Point Mitigation Plan 21 August 2018

Best Management Practices (BMPs)
A suite of agricultural BMPs will be utilized for the Project to reduce direct effluent inputs, pollutant
contamination, and sediment loading. The combination of the following agricultural BMPs: riparian
buffer planting, bank stabilization, stream restoration, livestock exclusion, livestock watering facilities,
and pipeline, will ultimately lead to the functional uplift of the site, while still allowing livestock
production to persist through the installation of alternative water sources.

The riparian buffer will be restored along all project reaches. Restored riparian buffers are established
adjacent to and up-gradient from watercourses of water bodies to improve water quality. The main
advantages of the restored riparian buffer will be to provide water quality treatment, erosion control,
and water temperature benefits. Moreover, there will be significant reductions in sedimentation,
nutrient input, and fecal coliform input.

Approximately 8,000 linear feet of livestock exclusion fencing will be installed along the easement
boundary; therefore, livestock will no longer have stream access. Woven-wire fence with treated posts
will be used for boundaries adjacent to pasture and barbed wire will be used within the Yadkin river
floodway. The main advantages of exclusion fence are that there will be significant reductions in
sediment, nutrients, and fecal coliform. To account for eliminating livestock water access, landowners
will be provided an alternate water source. Up to four watering facilities will be installed to provide
high quality drinking water to livestock.

6 MITIGATION WORK PLAN
Reference Stream
The restoration portions of the Project are characterized by livestock practices. Portions of the Project
were historically diverted to form poorly-functioning stream channels. Physical parameters of the
Project were used, as well as other reference materials, to determine the target stream type. The
“Classification of the Natural Communities of North Carolina” was also used to narrow the potential
community types that would have existed at the Project (Schafale, 2012). An iterative process was used
to develop the final information for the Project design.

Targeted reference conditions included the following:
• Located within the Physiographic Region and ecoregion,
• Similar watershed size,
• Similar land use on site and in the watershed,
• Similar soil types on site and in the watershed,
• Ideal, undisturbed habitat – several types of woody debris present,
• Similar topography,
• Similar slope,
• Pattern common among Piedmont streams, and
• Minimal presence of invasive species.

Obtaining property owner information and owner authorization for access was another factor in locating
suitable reference sites for the Project. There was no predetermined amount of reference sites needed
as long as the site was suitable and met the parameters. Many streams in this watershed are impacted
by cattle and agricultural practices, having a minimal riparian buffer, making it difficult to find an ideal
reference for the Project site. Two reference reaches, UT to Smithy’s Creek and UT to Grassy Creek,
were selected for use in developing design parameters.
Reference Watershed Characterization
The first reference reach, UT to Smithey’s Creek, is also located within the Yadkin Pee-Dee River
Basin. This reach is 150 feet in length, with a drainage area of 0.18 square miles (118 acres). The land
use in both watersheds is characterized by mostly agricultural, with mixed pines and hardwoods (42%),
and a small amount of residential. The second reference reach, UT to Grassy Creek, is also located
within the Yadkin Pee-Dee River Basin. This reach is 318 feet in length, with a drainage area of 0.67
square miles (426 acres). The land use in both watersheds is characterized by mostly agricultural, with
mixed pines and hardwoods, and a small amount of residential
Reference Discharge
Several hydrologic models/methods were used to develop a bankfull discharge for each reference reach.
Existing drainage area, land use, slope, roughness, and cross-sectional area were all factors considered
when performing the calculations. Using a combination of regional curves, in-house spreadsheet tools,
and a project specific regional flood frequency analysis, the existing bankfull discharge for the
references reaches was estimated at 25-28 cubic feet per second (ft3/s) and 50 cubic feet per second for
UT to Smithy’s Creek and UT to Grassy Creek respectively. See Section 6.2 for a more detailed
description of the hydrologic analyses performed for this project.
Compass Point Mitigation Plan August 2018

Reference Channel Morphology
Two reference reaches, described above, were selected for use as a line of evidence of stable stream
morphology to evaluate the proposed stream morphology. The morphological parameters for the
reference reaches are presented in Appendix B.
Reference Channel Stability Assessment
Both reference reaches UT to Smithey’s Creek and UT to Grassy Creek were stable and showed no
evidence of incision or erosion in the portions that were surveyed and analyzed. Each stream appeared
to maintain its slope and had sufficient amounts of vegetation to secure its banks. Riparian buffer widths
exceeded 50 feet on each side. The reference reaches received a “Good” rating as the channels each
demonstrate a stable meandering pattern and a well-vegetated riparian buffer.
Reference Bankfull Verification
Typical indicators of bankfull include vegetation at the bankfull elevation, scour lines, wrack lines,
vegetation lines, benches/inner berm, and point bars. Throughout the entire length of the reference
reaches, bankfull is located at the top of bank elevation. The accuracy of this bankfull stage is verified
by the Piedmont Regional Curves and hydrologic analyses using existing cross sections to calculate
area and discharge. Evidence that can further support the location of bankfull is the lack of any bench
or berm features within the channel, and wrack lines present within the floodplain.
Design Parameters
Stream Restoration Approach
Stream restoration efforts along the tributaries of the Project will be accomplished through analyses of
geomorphic conditions and watershed characteristics. The design approach applies a combination of
analytical and reference reach based design methods that meet objectives commensurate with both
ecological and geomorphic improvements. Proposed treatment activities may range from minor bank
grading and planting to re-establishing stable planform and hydraulic geometry. For reaches requiring
full restoration, natural design concepts have been applied and verified through rigorous engineering
analyses and modeling. The objective of this approach is to design a geomorphically stable channel that
provides habitat improvements and ties into the existing landscape.

The Project will include priority I and II stream restoration, enhancement I, enhancement II, and
enhancement III. Stream restoration will incorporate the design of a single-thread meandering channel,
with parameters based on data taken from reference sites, published empirical relationships, and best
professional judgment. A conceptual plan view is provided in Figure 10.

Current stream conditions along the proposed restoration reaches exhibit habitat degradation as a result
of impacts from livestock and channelization performed to promote agricultural activities. Additionally,
the riparian buffer is in poor condition throughout most of the Project area, where much of it is devoid
of trees or shrubs, and active pasture is present up to the edge of the existing channel.

The Project design approach began with a thorough study of existing conditions, including the onsite
streams, valleys, and watershed. Design parameters, including active channel, habitat and floodplain
features were developed from analyses performed on the reference site data. Analytical design
techniques were used to determine the design discharge and to verify the design as a whole.

Engineering analysis will be performed using various hydrologic and hydraulic models to verify the
design. A combination of methods will be used to estimate bankfull discharge, and larger flood events.
A HEC-RAS model will then be used to simulate water surface elevations of flows generated by the
Compass Point Mitigation Plan August 2018
25
hydrologic analysis. The development of the HEC model is an important component to the design;
therefore, model input parameters are field verified when possible. Through this hydrologic analysis,
the design discharge (typically referenced as bankfull or dominant discharge) will be determined. The
subsequent design will be based on this calculated discharge. As part of the design process, a qualitative
analysis of sediment supply will be performed by characterizing watershed conditions. A combination
of windshield surveys, existing land use data, and historical aerial photography, followed up by ground
truthing, will be analyzed to assess existing and past watershed conditions and to determine if any
changes occurred that would significantly impact sediment supply. Design parameters developed
through the analyses of reference reach data, watershed characterizations, and hydrologic and hydraulic
modeling will be confirmed with shear stress and velocity analyses.

Geomorphic and habitat studies will be performed concurrently with the engineering analyses. While
stream design will be verified by simulations of hydrology and fluvial processes, analogs of desirable
habitat features will be derived from reference sites and integrated into the project design. Both in-
stream and riparian habitat features will be designed. In-stream structures will be used throughout the
project to act as grade control and for bank stabilization by dissipating and redirecting the stream’s
energy. Bank stability may further be enhanced through the installation of brush toes, live stakes and
cuttings bundles.

Sections of abandoned stream channel will be backfilled with material excavated from on site to the
elevation of the floodplain in areas adjacent to the new channel, installing channel plugs where
necessary. The floodplain will be planted with native species creating a vegetated buffer, which will
provide numerous water quality and ecological benefits. Stream banks will be stabilized using a
combination of grading, erosion control matting, bare-root plantings, native material revetment
techniques (i.e., bioengineering), structure placement, and sod transplants where possible. The stream
and adjacent riparian areas will be protected by a minimum 50-foot conservation easement which will
be fenced to exclude livestock as needed.

The Project has been broken into the following design reaches:

Reach DW1-A - This reach begins on the southwest end of the Project, flows northeast to a confluence
with DW1-B and DW2-B, and totals 288 linear feet of Enhancement II. Open pasture is located adjacent
to the reach. Enhancement activities will include improving habitat through livestock exclusion fencing
and riparian planting. The livestock exclusion fencing will provide wildlife corridors throughout the
Project area and will remove livestock access to the riparian areas. A flow gauge will be installed
midway on the reach to monitor hydrology.
Reach DW1-B - This reach begins on the southern end of the Project from DW1-A and DW2-B, flows
north to DW1-C, and totals 1,922 linear feet of Priority I/II restoration. Actively managed pasture is
located adjacent to the reach on the upstream end. The downstream end is surrounded by intermittently
grazed pasture and disturbed secondary growth in an area with previous timber harvest. Restoration
activities will include constructing a new channel within the natural valley with appropriate dimensions
and pattern and backfilling the abandoned channel. In-stream structures such as log sills, brush toes,
and log vanes will be installed for stability and to improve habitat. Habitat will further be improved
through buffer plantings and livestock exclusion. Proposed buffer activities will improve riparian areas
that will filter runoff from adjacent pastures, thereby reducing nutrient and sediment loads to the
channel.
Reach DW1-C – This reach begins on the north end of the Project from DW1-B, and flows northeast
to a culvert crossing and DW1-D. This reach totals 566 linear feet of Priority I/II restoration, beginning
immediately downstream of a bedrock drop structure at the bottom of DW1-B. Any sections of the
Compass Point Mitigation Plan August 2018
26
existing road will be decommissioned in the easement and planted. Intermittently active pasture and
disturbed woodland is located adjacent to the reach. Restoration activities will include constructing a
new channel within the natural valley with appropriate dimensions and pattern, cutting a floodplain
bench and backfilling the abandoned channel. In -stream structures such as log sills, brush toes, and log
vanes will be installed for stability and to improve habitat. Habitat will further be improved through
buffer plantings and livestock exclusion. Livestock exclusion fencing will provide wildlife corridors
throughout the Project area and will remove livestock access to the riparian areas.
Reach DW1-D - This reach begins at the downstream end of DW1-C and proposed culvert crossing in
the northern end of the Project, and flows northeast to DW1-E. The reach totals 759 linear feet of
Priority I/II restoration. Restoration activities will include constructing a floodplain bench to aid in
connectivity to the existing floodplain and constructing a new channel with appropriate dimensions and
pattern. When possible, bed material will be harvested and reused to create stable bed features post-
construction. In-stream structures such as log sills, brush toes, and log vanes will be installed for
stability and to improve habitat. Habitat will further be improved through buffer plantings and livestock
exclusion. Proposed buffer activities will improve riparian areas that will filter runoff from adjacent
pastures, thereby reducing nutrient and sediment loads to the channel.
Reach DW1-E - This reach begins on the north end of the Project, from DW1-D and flows north until
it drains to the Yadkin River. This reach totals 432 linear feet of Enhancement III. Managed cropland
is located adjacent to the reach. Enhancement activities will include improving habitat through livestock
exclusion fencing and installing a boulder grade control structure at the top of the reach where DW1-
D enters to prevent further upstream channel erosion during Yadkin River flood events.
Reach DW2-A - This reach begins on the southeast end of the Project, and flows west to DW2-B. The
totals 968 linear feet of Enhancement I. Sparse woodland and actively managed pasture is located
adjacent to the reach. Enhancement activities will include targeted bank stabilization, riparian buffer
planting, and installation of livestock exclusion fencing. An existing ford crossing will also be removed.
Proposed buffer activities will improve riparian areas that will filter runoff from adjacent pastures,
thereby reducing nutrient and sediment loads to the channel.
Reach DW2-B - This reach begins at the downstream end of DW2-A, and flows north to the confluence
with DW1-A to become DW1-B. This reach totals 277 linear feet of Priority I Restoration. Actively
managed pasture is present on both sides of the reach. Restoration activities will include constructing
a new channel within the natural valley with appropriate dimensions pattern and backfilling the
abandoned channel. Native bed material will be harvested when possible. In-stream structures such as
log sills, brush toes, and log vanes will be installed for stability and to improve habitat. Habitat will
further be improved through buffer plantings and livestock exclusion. A ford crossing will be installed
along this reach (Figure 10). Proposed buffer activities will improve riparian areas that will filter runoff
from adjacent pastures, thereby reducing nutrient and sediment loads to the channel.
Reach DW3 - This reach begins on the south end of the Project at the adjacent powerline easement,
and flows north to DW2-A. This reach totals 93 linear feet of Enhancement I. Disturbed woodland,
intermittently grazed pasture, and a maintained powerline easement is located adjacent to the reach.
Enhancement activities will include improving habitat through livestock exclusion fencing, and riparian
buffer planting. The livestock exclusion fencing will provide wildlife corridors throughout the Project
area and will remove livestock access to the riparian areas.

Design Discharge
Design Discharge
Based upon the hydrologic analyses described below, design discharges were selected that fall at or
slightly above the 1.1-year and no greater than the 1.25-year flood frequency analysis for each reach.
The selected flows for the DW-1 restoration reaches are between 40 and 50 ft3/s and between 30-40
ft3/s for DW-2B. These discharges will provide frequent inundation of the adjacent floodplain.

The design discharges were selected based on the following rationale:
• The calculated bankfull discharge for the analog/reference reach and existing reaches are
comparable to the flood frequency analysis,
• The results of the 1.1-year flood frequency analysis are comparable to the discharges calculated
from regional curve and
• Selecting design discharges near the 1.1-year storm events allows frequent inundation of the
adjacent floodplain.
Design Methods
There are three primary methods that have demonstrated success in stream restoration: analog,
empirical, and analytical. All three methods have advantages and limitations, and it is often best to
utilize more than one method to address site-specific conditions or to verify the applicability of design
elements. This is particularly true in developed watersheds where existing conditions do not always
reflect current inputs and events, and sediment and hydrologic inputs may remain unstable for some
time. Combinations of analytical, empirical, and analog methods were used to develop the stream
designs for the Project.
Analytical Approach
Analytical design is based on principles and processes considered universal to all streams and can entail
man y traditional engineering techniques. The analytical approach utilizes continuity, roughness
equations, hydrologic and hydraulic models, and sediment transport functions to derive equilibrium
conditions. Since the Project is located within a rural watershed, restoration designs are based on
hydrologic and hydraulic analyses, including rainfall-runoff models to determine design discharges
coupled with reference reach techniques.
Analog Approach
The analog method of natural channel design involves the use of a “template” or reference stream
located near the design reach and is particularly useful when watershed and boundary conditions are
similar between the design and analog reaches (Skidmore et al., 2001). In an analog approach, the
pattern, dimension, and profile are used to inform design parameters for the subject stream.

Empirical Approach
Empirical design is based on regional mathematical relationships among measured channel variables.
The flood frequency analysis and regional curve evaluation described above are examples of empirical
design methods to select a range of channel forming discharges for a given watershed area.
Typical Design Sections
Typical cross sections for riffles and pools are shown on the design plan sheets in Appendix A. The
cross-section dimensions were developed for the three design reaches by using an in-house spreadsheet
described in Section 6.2 of this report. The cross sections were altered slightly to facilitate
constructability; however, the cross-sectional area, width to depth ratio, and side slopes were preserved.
Typical pool sections include pools located on straight reaches and pools on meander bends.
Compass Point Mitigation Plan August 2018
28
Meander Pattern
The design plans showing the proposed channel alignment are provided in Appendix A. The meander
pattern was derived directly from the analog reach and was altered in some locations to provide
variability in pattern, to avoid on site constraints, to follow the valley pattern, and to make the channel
more constructible. The morphologic parameters summarized in the Appendix B were applied
wherever these deviations occurred.
Longitudinal Profiles
The design profiles are presented in Appendix A. These profiles extend throughout the entire project
for the proposed channel alignment. The profiles were designed using the analog reach bed features as
a template for feature lengths and slopes. The bed slopes and bankfull energy gradients were determined
for each design reach based on the existing valley slope and the sinuosity of the design reach. Log
structures will be utilized in the design to control grade, divert flows, and provide additional habitat
diversity and stability.
In-Stream Structures
Structures will be incorporated into the channel design to provide additional stability and improve
aquatic habitat. Native materials and vegetation will be used for revetments and grade control structures
where applicable. Additionally, rock structures will be utilized intermittently along the restoration and
enhancement reaches to provide increased stability and habitat. Typical rock structures that will protect
the channel bed and/or banks will include riffle grade controls and cross-vanes.

Woody debris will be placed throughout the channel at locations and at a frequency that is similar to
those observed in the analog reaches. Woody habitat features installed will include dead brush, root
wads, brush toes, and log vanes. To provide additional bank stability, sod mats harvested on site will
be installed along stream banks during construction if and when feasible. Sod mats will only be
harvested and used if comprised of appropriate vegetation. The use of sod mats that include aggressive
turf grasses will be avoided. Sod mats are natural sections of vegetation taken from the banks when
they were cut during construction and are about nine inches thick. Before installation, proposed banks
are graded lower than specified to accommodate the thickness of the mat. The mats are placed on top
of the bank to act as a natural stabilizer of native species, and they grow much faster than the
combination of coir fiber matting and seeding. Other bank stability measures include the installation of
live stakes, brush toes, and log vanes. Typical details for proposed in-stream structures and revetments
are in Appendix A.
Data Analysis
Stream Hydrologic Analysis
Hydrologic evaluations were performed for the design reaches using multiple methods to determine
and validate the design bankfull discharge and channel geometry required to provide regular floodplain
inundation. The use of various methods allows for comparison of results and eliminates reliance on a
single model. Peak flows (Table 10) and corresponding channel cross sectional areas were determined
for comparison to design parameters using the following methods:

• Regional Flood Frequency Analysis,
• NC and VA Regional Curves

Regional Flood Frequency Analysis
A flood frequency analysis was completed for the study region using historic gauge data on all nearby
USGS gauges with drainage areas ranging from 0.3 to 16 mi2. Regional flood frequency equations were
Compass Point Mitigation Plan August 2018
29
developed for the 1.1-, 1.25-, and 2-year peak discharges based on the gauge data. Discharges were
then computed for the design reaches. These discharges were compared to those predicted by the
discharge regional curve and the reference reach discharges.

Regional Curve Regression Equations
The North Carolina Piedmont regional curves by Harman et al. (1999) and Doll et al. (2002) and the
Maryland/Pennsylvania Rural Piedmont regional curves by White (2001) for discharge were used to
predict the bankfull discharge for the Project. The NC regional curves predicted flows are lower but
similar to those predicted by the 1.1-year flood frequency, while the MD/PA curves are much lower
flows predicted by the 1.1-year flood frequency equation. The regional curve discharge equations for
are:

(1) Qbkf=89.04*(DA)0.73 (Harman et al., 1999)
(2) Qbkf=91.62*(DA)0.71 (Doll et al., 2002)
(3) Qbkf= 43.895*(DA)0.9472 (White, 2001)

Where Qbkf=bankfull discharge (ft3/s) and DA=drainage area (mi2).

Sediment Transport Analysis
An erosion and sedimentation analysis was performed to confirm that the restoration design creates a
stable gravel bed channel that neither aggrades nor degrades over time. Typically, sediment transport
is assessed to determine a stream’s ability to move a specific grain size at specified flows. Various
sediment transport equations are applied when estimating entrainment for sand and gravel bed streams
found in the Piedmont. The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) report, Stability Thresholds for
Stream Restoration Materials (Fochenich, 2001), was used to obtain permissible shear stresses and
velocities. Data found in this document was obtained from multiple sources using different testing
conditions. The following methods and published documents were utilized during the sediment
transport analysis:

• Permissible Shear Stress Approach, and
• Permissible Velocity Approach.

Shear Stress Approach
Shear stress is a commonly used tool for assessing channel stability. Allowable channel shear stresses
are a function of bed slope, channel shape, flows, bed material (shape, size, and gradation),
cohesiveness of bank materials, vegetative cover, and incoming sediment load. The shear stress
approach compares calculated shear stresses to those found in the literature. Shear stress is the force
exerted on a boundary during the resistance of motion as calculated using the following formula:
Compass Point Mitigation Plan August 2018
30
(1) τ = γRS
τ = shear stress (lb/ft2)
γ = specific gravity of water (62.4 lb/ft3)
R = hydraulic radius (ft)
S = average channel slope (ft/ft)

DW1-D 1.08 >0.54 0.33 to 0.67 0.67 to 2.0 0.7 to 0.1.7
1(Fischenich, 2001)

Review of the above table shows that the proposed shear stresses for the Compass Point design reaches
fall between the critical shear stress (shear stress required to initiate motion) and the allowable limits.
Therefore, the proposed channel should remain stable.

Velocity Approach
Published data are readily available that provide entrainment velocities for different bed and bank
materials. A comparison of calculated velocities to these permissible velocities is a simple method to
aid in the verification of channel stability. Table 12 compares the proposed velocities calculated using
Manning’s equation with the permissible velocities.

Sediment Supply
In addition to the stability assessment, a qualitative analysis of sediment supply was performed by
characterizing watershed conditions. A combination of field reconnaissance and windshield surveys,
existing land use data, and historical aerial photography were analyzed to assess existing and past
watershed conditions to determine if any changes occurred that would significantly impact sediment
supply. As discussed in Section 3.3, the land use throughout the site has changed little since 1950.
Much of the Project area has been used primarily for agricultural purposes over the past 60 years. Much
of the forested areas are located either within the headwater portions of the watersheds or along existing
Compass Point Mitigation Plan August 2018
31
stream channels to the north and to the east. Land use has remained relatively constant within this rural
watershed, and significant land disturbing activities are not anticipated for the future.

Observations and assessments of these reaches upstream show little signs of aggradation (deposition)
or degradation, and that the streams appear physically stable. This indicates the reaches are able to
effectively transport the sediment supplied by their respective watersheds. There are several localized
areas of instability and erosion along the channels, which appear to be a result of cattle activity and
agricultural activities occurring up to and along channel banks and not from watershed activities. It is
anticipated that sediment supply from agricultural land adjacent to the project will decrease as buffers
are enhanced and widened, and flow from existing agricultural ditches will be diffused before entering
the proposed channel.

Since little deposition or degradation (scour) was observed along the restoration reaches, it appears that
the channels are able to effectively move the sediment supplied from the surrounding watershed.
Because observed areas of degradation can be attributed to farming practices adjacent to the channel
and not watershed activities, a threshold channel design approach was used. This approach assumes
minimal movement (vertical or lateral migration) of the channel boundary during design flow
conditions, and that the channel is not sensitive to sediment supply. Additionally, grade controls have
been integrated throughout the design to provide vertical stability in the event scour should occur.
Vegetation and Planting Plan
Plant Community Restoration
The restoration of the plant communities is an important aspect of the restoration project. The selection
of plant species is based on what was observed at a reference reach, species present in the forest
surrounding the restoration Project, and what is typically native to the area. Several sources of
information were used to determine the most appropriate species for the restoration project. A nearby
tributary “UT to Hauser Creek” is used as a vegetation community reference due to close proximity to
the Project. The reference stream is located within a disturbed Piedmont Alluvial Forest. On April 3,
2018, two 100m2 plots were surveyed using the same protocol described in Section 3.2. Basal areas for
the plots were 12.5m2/ha and 49.6m2/ha and stems per acre was 81 for both plots.

Dominant canopy species across the reference reach included sweetgum, tulip-poplar, American beech,
pignut hickory, eastern redcedar, green ash, red maple, and boxelder. Sub-canopy species included
musclewood, sourwood, and sawtooth blackberry. Herbaceous species included cranefly orchid,
Christmas fern, rattlesnake fern, woodsorrel, perfoliate bellwort, partridgeberry, hairy solomon’s seal,
round leaved greenbrier, strawberry bush, common blue violet, downy yellow violet, bedstraw, white
avens, rue anemone, tall hairy agrimony, mayapple, and sedge (Carex sp.).

Invasive species were also found within the vegetation survey plots and in the vicinity of the reach,
including: multiflora rose, and Japanese honeysuckle. Non-native species included Japanese stiltgrass,
common chickweed, buttercup, wooly mullein, and onion grass.

A Piedmont Stream Headwater Forest will be the target community type for the top of the Project
(Reach DW2-A); and a Piedmont Alluvial Forest will be the target community for the remaining
reaches (DW1-A/B/C/CD/E, DW2-B, DW3). These community types will be established to include a
diverse mix of species and will be used for the planting areas within the Project shown in Appendix A.
The plant species list has been developed and can be found in Table 13. Species with high dispersal
rates are not included because of local occurrence, adjacent seed sources, and the high potential for
natural regeneration. The high dispersal species include red maple, tulip poplar, and sweetgum.

Compass Point Mitigation Plan August 2018

The restoration of plant communities along the Project will provide stabilization and diversity. For
rapid stabilization of the stream banks (primarily outside meanders), silky dogwood (Cornus amomum)
and black willow (Salix nigra) were chosen for live stakes along the restored channel because of their
rapid growth patterns and high success rates. Willows grow at a faster rate than the species planted
around them, and they stabilize the stream banks. Willows will also be quicker to contribute organic
matter to the channel. When the other species are bigger, the black willows will slowly stop growing
or die out because the other species would outgrow them and create shade that the willows do not
tolerate. The live stake species will be planted along the outside of the meander bends three feet from
the top of bank, creating a three-foot section along the top of bank. The live stakes will be spaced one
per linear foot with alternate spacing vertically.

On Site Invasive Species Management
Treatment for invasive species will be required within all grading limits associated with stream
restoration. Invasive species will require different and multiple treatment methods, depending on plant
phenology and the location of the species being treated. All treatment will be conducted as to maximize
its effectiveness and reduce chances of detriment to surrounding native vegetation. Treatment methods
will include mechanical (cutting with loppers, clippers, or chain saw) and chemical (foliar spray, cut
stump, and hack and squirt techniques). Plants containing mature, viable seeds will be removed from
the Project and properly disposed. All herbicide applicators will be supervised by a certified ground
pesticide applicator with a North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services
(NCDA&CS) license and adhere to all legal and safety requirements according to herbicide labels, and
NC and Federal laws. Management records will be kept on the plant species treated, type of treatment
employed, type of herbicide used, application technique, and herbicide concentration and quantities
used. These records will be included in all reporting documents.
Soil Restoration
After construction activities, the subsoil will be scarified and any compaction will be deep tilled before
the topsoil is placed back over the Project. Any topsoil that is removed during construction will be
stockpiled and placed over the Project during final soil preparation. This process should provide
favorable soil conditions for plant growth. Rapid establishment of vegetation will provide natural
stabilization for the Project.
Mitigation Summary
Natural channel design techniques have been used to develop the restoration designs described in this
document. The combination of the analog and analytical design methods was determined to be
appropriate for this Project because the watershed is rural, the causes of disturbance are known and
have been abated, and there are minimal infrastructure constraints. The original design parameters were
Compass Point Mitigation Plan August 2018
34
developed from the measured analog/reference reach data and applied to the subject stream. The
parameters were then analyzed and adjusted through an iterative process using analytical tools and
numerical simulations of fluvial processes. The designs presented in this report provide for the
restoration of natural Piedmont cobble/gravel-bed channel features and stream bed diversity to improve
benthic habitat. The proposed design will allow flows that exceed the design bankfull stage to spread
out over the floodplain, restoring a portion of the hydrology for the existing wetlands.

A large portion of the existing stream will be filled using material excavated from the restoration
channel. However, many segments will be left partially filled to provide habitat diversity and flood
storage. Native woody material will be installed throughout the restored reach to reduce bank stress,
provide grade control, and increase habitat diversity.

Forested riparian buffers of at least 50 feet on both sides of the channel will be established along the
project reach. An appropriate riparian plant community (Piedmont Stream Headwater Forest along
DW2-A, DW3; Piedmont Alluvial Forest along DW1-A/B/C/D/E, DW2-B) will be established to
include a diverse mix of species within the Project. The plant species list has been developed and can
be found in Table 13. Although there is one planting zone, certain targeted species will be planted in
the appropriate target community location. Replanting of native species will occur where the existing
buffer is impacted during construction.

Due to the nature of the project, complete avoidance of stream and wetland impacts is not possible.
Proposed stream impacts, including stream relocation and culverts, will be replaced on site. Wetland
impacts associated with restoration and enhancement efforts will only temporarily impact wetlands and
will provide an overall increase in wetland function with the addition of native trees and shrubs along
the stream banks, and restored hydrology. All stream impacts will be accounted for in the Pre-
Construction Notification (PCN) form.
Determination of Credits
Mitigation credits presented in Table 14 are projections based upon site design (Figure 10). Upon
completion of site construction, the project components and credits data will only be revised to be
consistent with the as-built condition if there is a large discrepancy and with an approved mitigation
plan addendum. This will be approved by the USACE.

7 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
The success criteria for the Project will follow accepted and approved success criteria presented in the
2016 USACE Wilmington District Stream and Wetland Compensatory Mitigation Update and
subsequent agency guidance. Specific success criteria components are presented below.
Stream Restoration Success Criteria
Bankfull Events
Four bankfull flow events must be documented within the seven-year monitoring period. The bankfull
events must occur in separate years. Otherwise, the stream monitoring will continue until four bankfull
events have been documented in separate years. Crest gauges will be installed on DW1-B and DW2-
A.
Cross Sections
There should be little change in as-built cross sections. If changes do take place, they should be
evaluated to determine if they represent a movement toward a less stable condition (for example down-
cutting or erosion) or are minor changes that represent an increase in stability (for example settling,
vegetative changes, deposition along the banks, or decrease in width/depth ratio). Cross sections shall
be classified using the Rosgen stream classification method, and all monitored cross sections should
fall within the quantitative parameters defined for channels of the design stream type. Bank height ratio
shall not exceed 1.2, and the entrenchment ratio shall be no less than 1.4 within restored reaches.
Channel stability should be demonstrated through a minimum of four bankfull events documented in
the seven-year monitoring period.
Digital Image Stations
Digital images will be used to subjectively evaluate channel aggradation or degradation, bank erosion,
success of riparian vegetation, and effectiveness of erosion control measures. Longitudinal images
should not indicate the absence of developing bars within the channel or an excessive increase in
channel depth. Lateral images should not indicate excessive erosion or continuing degradation of the
banks over time. A series of images over time should indicate successional maturation of riparian
vegetation.
Surface Flow
Stream restoration reaches will be monitored to document intermittent or seasonal surface flow. This
will be accomplished through direct observation and the use of stream gauge transducers with data
loggers. Reaches must demonstrate a minimum of 30 consecutive days of flow. One flow gauge will
be installed on DW1-A.
Vegetation Success Criteria
Specific and measurable success criteria for plant density within the riparian buffers on the Project
will follow IRT Guidance. The interim measures of vegetative success for the Project will be the
survival of at least 320 planted three-year old trees per acre at the end of Year 3, five-year old trees at
seven feet in height at the end of Year 5, and the final vegetative success criteria will be 210 trees per
acre with an average height of ten feet at the end of Year 7. Volunteer trees will be counted, identified
to species, and included in the yearly monitoring reports, but will not be counted towards the success
criteria of total planted stems. Moreover, any single species can only account for up to 50 percent of
the required number of stems within any vegetation plot. Any stems in excess of 50 percent will be
shown in the monitoring table but will not be used to demonstrate success.
Compass Point Mitigation Plan August 2018
37
8 MONITORING PLAN
Annual monitoring data will be reported using the NCIRT monitoring template. The monitoring report
shall provide a project data chronology that will facilitate an understanding of project status and trends,
research purposes, and assist in decision making regarding project close-out. Monitoring reports will
be prepared annually and submitted to the USACE. Monitoring of the Project will adhere to metrics
and performance standards established by the USACE’s April 2003 Wilmington District Stream
Mitigation Guidelines and the NC IRT’s October 2016 Wilmington District Stream and Wetland
Compensatory Mitigation Update. Table 15 outlines the links between project goals, objectives, and
treatments and their associated monitoring metrics and performance standards within the context of
functional uplift based on the Stream Functions Pyramid Framework.
As-Built Survey
An as-built survey will be conducted following construction to document channel size, condition, and
location. The survey will include a complete profile of thalweg, water surface, bankfull, and top of bank
to compare with future geomorphic data. Longitudinal profiles will not be required in annual
monitoring reports unless requested by USACE. Stream channel stationing will be marked with stakes
placed near the top of bank every 200 feet.
Visual Monitoring
Visual monitoring of all mitigation areas will be conducted a minimum of twice per monitoring year
by qualified individuals. The visual assessments will include vegetation density, vigor, invasive species,
and easement encroachments. Visual assessments of stream stability will include a complete
streamwalk and structure inspection. Digital images will be taken at fixed representative locations to
record each monitoring event, as well as any noted problem areas or areas of concern. Results of visual
monitoring will be presented in a plan view exhibit with a brief description of problem areas and digital
images. Photographs will be used to subjectively evaluate channel aggradation or degradation, bank
erosion, success of riparian vegetation, and effectiveness of erosion control measures. Longitudinal
photos should indicate the absence of developing bars within the channel or an excessive increase in
channel depth. Lateral photos should not indicate excessive erosion or continuing degradation of the
banks over time. A series of photos over time should indicate successional maturation of riparian
vegetation.
Hydrology Events
Crest gauges will be installed to document to occurrence of bankfull events. A minimum of one gauge
will be installed on each tributary that is greater than 1,000 feet in length, with one gauge required for
every 5,000 feet of length on each tributary and a maximum of five gauges per tributary. Reaches with
Priority 1 Restoration (designed to reconnect the stream to its floodplain), gauges will be capable of
tracking the frequency and duration of overbank events. Where restoration or enhancement activities
are proposed for intermittent streams, monitoring gauges should be installed to track the frequency and
duration of stream flow events.
Cross Sections
Permanent cross sections will be installed at a minimum of one per 20 bankfull widths with half in
pools and half in riffle on all Restoration and Enhancement I reaches. All cross-section measurements
will include bank height ratio and entrenchment ratio. Cross sections will be monitored in Years 1, 2,
3, 5, and 7. There should be little change in as-built cross sections. If changes do take place, they should
be evaluated to determine if they represent movement toward a less stable condition (for example down-
Compass Point Mitigation Plan August 2018
38
cutting or erosion), or are minor changes that represent an increase in stability (for example settling,
vegetative changes, deposition along the banks, or decrease in width/depth ratio).
Vegetation Monitoring
Vegetation monitoring plots will be a minimum of 0.02 acres in size and cover a minimum of two
percent of the planted area. There will be ten plots within the planted area (12.10acres). Plots will be a
mixture of fixed and random plots, with seven fixed plots and three random plots. Planted area indicates
all area in the easement that will be planted with trees. Existing wooded areas are not included in the
planted area. The following data will be recorded for all trees in the fixed plots: species, height, planting
date (or volunteer), and grid location. For random plots, species and height will be recorded for all
woody stems. The location (GPS coordinates and orientation) of the random plots will be identified in
the annual monitoring reports. Vegetation will be planted and plots established at least 180 days prior
to the initiation of the first year of monitoring. Monitoring will occur in Years 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 between
July 1st and leaf drop. Invasive and noxious species will be monitored so that none become dominant
or alter the desired community structure of the Project. If necessary, RES will develop a species-specific
treatment plan.
Scheduling/Reporting
A baseline monitoring report and as-built drawings documenting stream restoration activities will be
developed within 60 days of the planting completion on the Project. The report will include all
information required by IRT mitigation plan guidelines, including elevations, photographs and
sampling plot locations, gauge locations, and a description of initial species composition by community
type. The report will also include a list of the species planted and the associated densities. Baseline
vegetation monitoring will include species, height, date of planting, and grid location of each stem. The
baseline report will follow USACE guidelines.

The monitoring program will be implemented to document system development and progress toward
achieving the success criteria. The restored stream morphology will be assessed to determine the
success of the mitigation. The monitoring program will be undertaken for seven years or until the final
success criteria are achieved, whichever is longer.

Monitoring reports will be prepared in the fall of each year of monitoring and submitted to the IRT.
The monitoring reports will include all information and be in the format required by USACE.

9 ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT PLAN
Upon completion of Project construction, RES will implement the post-construction monitoring
protocols previously defined in this document. Project maintenance will be performed as described
previously in this document. If, during the course of annual monitoring, it is determined that the
Project’s ability to achieve performance standards are jeopardized, RES will notify the USACE of the
need to develop a Plan of Corrective Action. Once the Corrective Action Plan is prepared and finalized
RES will:
1. Notify the USACE as required by the Nationwide 27 permit general conditions.
2. Revise performance standards, maintenance requirements, and monitoring requirements as
necessary and/or required by the USACE.
3. Obtain other permits as necessary.
4. Prepare Corrective Action Plan for review and approval by IRT.
5. Implement the Corrective Action Plan.
Provide the IRT a Record Drawing of Corrective Actions. This document shall depict the extent and
nature of the work performed.

PO Box 1183
Chapel Hill, NC 27514
[e-mail]

UP2S will be responsible for periodic inspection of the site to ensure that restrictions required in the
Conservation Easement or the deed restriction document(s) are upheld. Easements will be stewarded in
general accordance with the guidelines published by the National Land Trust Alliance. Specific
responsibilities include:

• Monitoring of site is conducted on an annual basis.
• An on-site inspection is conducted once per year.
• Visits to the site are coordinated with landowner when possible.
• Annual monitoring reports are sent to the landowner when possible.
• Signage for the easement boundary is maintained.
• Violations and potential violations of the conservation easement deed are promptly
communicated to the landowner.

A model conservation easement and engagement letter from UP2S are included in Appendix C. The
engagement letter includes itemized annual cost accounting of long-term management, total amount of
funding, and the manner in which the funding will be provided.

11 CREDIT RELEASE SCHEDULE
All credit releases will be based on the total credit generated as reported in the approved mitigation
plan of the site. Under no circumstances shall any mitigation project be debited until the necessary DA
authorization has been received for its construction or the District Engineer (DE) has otherwise
provided written approval for the project in the case where no DA authorization is required for
construction of the mitigation project. The DE, in consultation with the IRT, will determine if
performance standards have been satisfied sufficiently to meet the requirements of the release schedules
below. In cases where some performance standards have not been met, credits may still be released
depending on the specifics of the case. Monitoring may be required to restart or be extended, depending
on the extent to which the site fails to meet the specified performance standard. The release of Project
credits will be subject to the criteria described in Table 16.
Initial Allocation of Released Credits
The initial allocation of released credits, as specified in the mitigation plan can be released by the IRT
with written approval of the DE upon satisfactory completion of the following activities:
a) Execution of the UMBI by the Sponsor and the USACE;
b) Approval of the final mitigation plan;
c) Mitigation site must be secured;
d) Delivery of financial assurances;
e) Recordation of the long-term protection mechanism and title opinion acceptable to the USACE;
f) Issuance of the 404-permit verification for construction of the site, if required.
Subsequent Credit Releases
The second credit release will occur after the completion of implementation of the Mitigation Plan and
IRT approval of the Baseline Monitoring Report and As-built Survey. All subsequent credit releases
must be approved by the DE, in consultation with the IRT, based on a determination that required
performance standards have been achieved. As projects approach milestones associated with credit
release, the Sponsor will submit a request for credit release to the DE along with documentation
substantiating achievement of criteria required for release to occur. This documentation will be included
with the annual monitoring report.

12 MAINTENANCE PLAN
The Project will be monitored on a regular basis and a physical inspection will be conducted a minimum
of once per year throughout the post construction monitoring period until performance standards are
met. These site inspections may identify site components and features that require routine maintenance.
Routine maintenance should be expected most often in the first two years following site construction
and may include the following:

Table 17. Maintenance Plan
Component/Feature Maintenance through project close-out
Stream Routine channel maintenance and repair activities may include chinking of
in-stream structures to prevent piping, securing of loose coir matting, and
supplemental installations of live stakes and other target vegetation along the
channel. Areas where stormwater and floodplain flows intercept the channel
may also require maintenance to prevent bank failures and head-cutting.
Stream maintenance activities will be documented and reported in annual
monitoring reports. Stream maintenance will continue through the
monitoring period.
Vegetation Vegetation shall be maintained to ensure the health and vigor of the targeted
plant community. Routine vegetation maintenance and repair activities may
include supplemental planting, pruning, mulching, and fertilizing. Exotic
invasive plant species shall be treated by mechanical and/or chemical
methods. Any vegetation control requiring herbicide application will be
performed in accordance with NC Department of Agriculture (NCDA) rules
and regulations. Vegetation maintenance activities will be documented and
reported in annual monitoring reports. Vegetation maintenance will continue
through the monitoring period.
Site Boundary Site boundaries shall be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction
between the mitigation site and adjacent properties. Boundaries will be
marked with signs identifying the property as a mitigation site and will
include the name of the long-term steward and a contact number. Boundaries
may be identified by fence, marker, bollard, post, tree-blazing, or other means
as allowed by site conditions and/or conservation easement. Boundary
markers disturbed, damaged, or destroyed will be repaired and/or replaced on
an as-needed basis. Easement monitoring and staking/signage maintenance
will continue in perpetuity as a stewardship activity.
Road Crossing Road crossings within the site may be maintained only as allowed by
Conservation Easement or existing easement, deed restrictions, rights of way,
or corridor agreements. Crossings in easement breaks are the responsibility
of the landowner to maintain.
Livestock Fencing Livestock fencing is to be placed outside the easement limits. Maintenance
of fencing is the responsibility of the landowner.
Beaver Routine site visits and monitoring will be used to determine if beaver
management is needed. If beaver activity poses a threat to project stability or
vegetative success, RES will trap beavers and remove impoundments as
needed. All beaver management activities will be documented and included
in annual monitoring reports. Beaver monitoring and management will
continue through the monitoring period.

13 FINANCIAL ASSURANCES
CONFIDENTIAL

The Sponsor will provide financial assurances in the form of a $609,000 Construction Performance
Bond to the USACE to assure completion of mitigation construction and planting. Construction and
planting costs are estimated to be at or below $609,000 based on the Engineer's construction materials
estimate and recent bid tabulation unit costs for construction materials. Following completion of
construction and planting the Construction Performance Bond will be retired and a $110,000
Monitoring Performance Bond will be provided to assure completion of seven years of monitoring and
reporting, and any remedial work required during the monitoring period. The $110,000 amount includes
contingency and estimated monitoring costs from the Engineer. The Monitoring Performance Bond
will be reduced by $15,700 following approval of each annual monitoring report. The Monitoring
Performance Bond will be retired in total following official notice of site close-out from the IRT.
Financial assurances shall be payable to a standby trust or other designee at the direction of the obligee.
Financial assurances structured to provide funds to the USACE in the event of default by the Bank
Sponsor are not acceptable. A financial assurance must be in the form that ensures that the USACE
receives notification at least 120 days in advance of any termination or revocation. The Performance
Bonds will be provided by a surety listed with the U.S. Treasury and has an A.M. Best Rating of B or
above. All Performance Bonds will be submitted to the USACE in draft form for approval prior to
execution. In the event of Sponsor default, UP2S has agreed to receive the funds and ensure the work
is successfully completed.

Protocol for Existing Conditions Vegetation Surveying
Plot Selection and Setup
Survey multiple plots on-site, which together are representative of all ecotypes present within the
easement boundaries. Each plot is a 5m X 20m belt transect, positioned parallel to the channel in the
floodplain or adjacent upland.
Take a GPS point at the origin and set the bounds with 5m as the “x-axis” and 20m as the “y-axis.” Set
the plot with the y-axis as the side parallel to the stream channel. Record the y-axis azimuth to allow for
future resampling. Conclude selection and set-up with a representative photo of the plot taken from the
origin.

Data Collection
Identify each plant in the plot to the species level. Sort and measure tree species by height class and
diameter at breast height (DBH). Count seedlings <54in (137cm) in height into height categories 0-9cm,
10-50cm, 51-100cm, or 101-137cm. Count saplings >54in (137cm) in height into DBH categories 0-1cm,
1-2.5cm, 2.5-5cm, or 5-12.7cm. Measure the DBH of all trees ≥5in (12.7cm) DBH. Shrubs, vines, and
herbaceous taxa receive an estimation of their percent cover over the substrate within the plot. If the
personnel are unable to identify to the species level, collect voucher photos and/or specimen(s) for later
identification. Record these on the data sheet as UNK-1, UNK-2, etc.

Data Processing
Begin processing collected data by identifying the unknown species observed from voucher photos and
specimen(s) collected. When species present are sufficiently identified, use the dominant canopy species
assemblages and ecological region to identify a habitat type from Schafale (2012).
Calculate both basal area and stems per acre for each plot surveyed using the formulas below. These
metrics help to inform the existing conditions of the canopy on-site and inform the development of the
project’s planting plan.
Basal Area Formula:
Basal area of each tree (m2) = 0.00007854 X (DBHcm)2
Basal area of plot (m2/ha) = (sum of basal areas for all trees in plot) X 100
•100 is to scale up from our 0.01ha plot to 1ha
Stems per Acre Formula:
Stems/Acre = (# of stems)/0.02471

Unique Places To Save
Stewardship Monitoring Procedures and Guidelines

Unique Places To Save (UP2Save) is dedicated to upholding and defending the
conservation values of the easements it holds. An important aspect of achieving this is to
conduct our stewardship monitoring practices in a professional, accurate, and efficient
manner. The following procedures and guidelines will help ensure that staff will have the
guidance and expertise to properly monitor UP2Save’s conservation easements.

UP2Save’s stewardship monitoring procedures and guidelines are separated into three
stages: (1) pre-monitoring due diligence; (2) monitoring of the easement property; and (3)
post-monitoring due diligence. Each stage in the monitoring process is crucial in
employing sound monitoring practices and creating accurate and reliable documentation.

Pre-monitoring Due Diligence:
Pre-monitoring due diligence includes components that prepare the monitor for the
impending field work and documentation of their stewardship activities. The following
procedures shall be followed prior to all conservation easement monitoring visits:

1. Contact the landowner to schedule a monitoring visit at least one to two weeks
prior to the scheduled visit either by phone, email, or letter (make an effort to
group monitoring visits to multiple easements in the same general area in one
trip).
2. Make an effort to invite the landowner to be involved in the monitoring process.
Usually having the landowner available for questions or discussion of issues
before and after monitoring is fine. It is not necessary that the landowner
accompany the monitor around the property unless the landowner prefers to do
so.
3. If unknown, acquire any information needed to access the property (e.g. lock
combinations, gate locations, road/trail locations, contact information for land
managers and neighboring landowners).
4. A few days prior to the monitoring visit, make an effort to contact the landowner
to confirm the monitoring date.
5. Prior to the monitoring date, review the conservation easement deed, baseline
documentation report, most recent monitoring report, and any other pertinent
information (e.g. landowner correspondence, older monitoring reports).
6. Create a monitoring map of the property using aerial imagery or a topo map as
the base layer. Ensure that the property boundary is clearly depicted on the map
as well as any building envelopes or other important boundaries or landscape
features (e.g. stream buffers, forest management plots, property points of access).
7. Enter the property boundary and BDR photopoint locations (if available) into a
GPS unit for field reference.
8. Inform at least two staff members of your schedule and destination(s). Have an
emergency contact phone number available at the office.
9. Monitoring material that is needed on the monitoring visit includes:

a. Stewardship Binder
b. Monitoring map
c. GPS unit (with extra batteries)
d. Compass
e. Camera (with extra batteries)
f. Notepad

10. Prepare for your field work. Bring necessary field equipment to conduct a safe
and effective monitoring visit. Field equipment should include:

Required
a. Sunscreen
b. Extra water
c. Extra clothing
d. Extra food
e. Extra cash
f. Topo map of greater area
g. First Aid/Survival Kit
h. Blanket(s)
i. Shovel
j. Spare tire(s)
k. Cell phone
l. Flares
m. Bolt cutters
n. Crowbar
Optional
a. Tent
b. Sleeping bag
c. Firearm(s)
d. Stove
e. Laptop computer
f. Bear spray

Approximate pre-monitoring due diligence completion time: 3 hours

Monitoring of the Easement Property:
The field portion of the monitoring effort should be interpreted as (1) an opportunity to
maintain and improve relations with landowners and/or landowner representatives; (2) a
small-scale duplication effort of the baseline documentation report; (3) an opportunity to
enhance, alter, or correct any deficiencies or errors in past monitoring efforts; and (4) a
check on the activities within and conditions of the property under easement.

The following procedures and guidelines will help ensure the efficiency, accuracy, and
safety of a monitoring visit:

1. The monitor should have a clear strategy of how the property will be monitored
prior to the site visit.
2. Meet with the landowner if possible prior to engaging in field work. Ask about
land management activities (past, present or future), activities on adjacent lands,
and any other issues related to the terms of the conservation easement.
3. Invite the landowner to accompany the monitor in the field. This is not necessary,
but it is polite to ask.
4. Enact the monitoring strategy laid out prior to the visit using all tools available
(e.g. GPS, compass, maps, photos).
5. Use GPS to track the monitoring route and take coordinates of photopoint
locations. Use the compass to take azimuth readings at the photopoint locations
(direction photo was taken). All photopoint coordinates must be taken in UTM
coordinates, Zone 13. All azimuth reading must be taken using the 3-digit method
(0 to 360°) to decrease ambiguity as opposed to using quadrants. For example, recording
a bearing of 192° is much clearer than 12° W of S, or S12°W.
6. Walk or drive as much of the property as possible making an effort to visit all access
points, boundary lines, and property corners. Pay special attention to building envelope
areas and other areas that may have more restrictive covenants (e.g. stream corridors, no-
timbering zones, high quality habitat areas).
7. Duplicate the photopoint locations that are depicted in the BDR. If new photopoint
locations are required; develop the new photopoint locations based upon current
landscape conditions and activities. Document these new locations in the monitoring
report and make notes that future monitoring efforts should follow the new photopoint
format. Note: the original photopoints portrayed in the BDR must always be replicated
unless the BDR is amended to not include certain photopoint locations.
8. TAKE FIELD NOTES! Do not rely on memory to complete the monitoring report.
9. Make an effort to meet with the landowner after the field visit to discuss any minor, non-
violation issues or other observations made while conducting the field visit. Do not,
under any circumstances, discuss potential minor or major violations to the
conservation easement with the landowner. UP2Save has specific procedures to
follow when addressing potential violations (see UP2Save’s Conservation Easement
Violations Policy).

Approximate monitoring completion time: 4-16 hours depending upon driving time and
size/complexity of property.

Post-monitoring Due Diligence:
Post-monitoring due diligence primarily consists of developing documentation of the
monitoring visit. This documentation consists of:

1. Filling out the monitoring report
2. Creating a monitoring map including the photopoints, access points, monitoring track,
and any other points of interest.
3. Writing a letter to the landowner that summarizes the monitoring visit and also states that
the landowner is in compliance with the terms of the conservation easement. If the
landowner is not in compliance with the terms of the conservation easement, then staff
will follow the UP2Save’s Conservation Easement Violations Policy.
4. Properly duplicate the monitoring report and file all copies according to the
UP2Save’s Stewardship Records Management Policy.
5. Mail the signed monitoring report and compliance letter to the landowner and any
representatives listed in the baseline or that have received monitoring reports in the past.
6. Schedule the next monitoring visit based upon observations in the field and seasonal
access to the property.

Approximate completion time: 3 hours

activities include the maintenance and/or replacement of fence structures, as deemed
necessary by the Grantee, to ensure the aquatic resource functions within the
boundaries of the Protected Property are sustained.

G. Extinguishment. In the event that changed conditions render impossible the
continued use of the Conservation Easement Area for the conservation purposes, this
Conservation Easement may only be extinguished, in whole or in part, by judicial
proceeding.

H. Eminent Domain. Whenever all or part of the Conservation Easement Area
is taken in the exercise of eminent domain so as to substantially abrogate the
Restrictions imposed by this Conservation Easement, Grantor and Grantee shall join in
appropriate actions at the time of such taking to recover the full value of the taking,
and all incidental and direct damages due to the taking.

I. Proceeds. This Conservation Easement constitutes a real property interest
immediately vested in Grantee. In the event that all or a portion of the Conservation
Easement Area is sold, exchanged, or involuntarily converted following an
extinguishment or the exercise of eminent domain, Grantee shall be entitled to the fair
market value of this Conservation Easement as determined at the time of the
extinguishment or condemnation.

J. Notification. Any notice, request for approval, or other communication
required under this Conservation Easement shall be sent by registered or certified mail,
postage prepaid, to the following addresses (or such address as may be hereafter
specified by notice pursuant to this paragraph):

K. Failure of Grantee. If at any time Grantee is unable or fails to enforce this
Conservation Easement, or if Grantee ceases to be a qualified grantee, and if within a
reasonable period of time after the occurrence of one of these events Grantee fails to
make an assignment pursuant to this Conservation Easement, then the Grantee’s
interest shall become vested in another qualified grantee in accordance with an
appropriate proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction.

L. Amendment. This Conservation Easement may be amended, but only in
a writing signed by all parties hereto, and provided such amendment does not
affect the qualification of this Conservation Easement or the status of the Grantee
under any applicable laws, and is consistent with the conservation purposes of this
grant.

M. Present Condition of the Conservation Easement Area. The wetlands, scenic,
resource, environmental, and other natural characteristics of the Conservation
Easement Area, and its current use and state of improvement, are described in Section
____ of the Mitigation Plan, prepared by Grantor and acknowledged by the Grantor
and Grantee to be complete and accurate as of the date hereof. Both Grantor and
Grantee have copies of this report. It will be used by the parties to assure that any
future changes in the use of the Conservation Easement Area will be consistent with

U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS
WILMINGTON DISTRICT
Action ID: SAW -2017-01465 County: Yadkin U.S.G.S. Quad: Copeland
NOTIFICATION OF JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION
Property Owner: Donnie Wagoner
Address: 4650 Pulliam Rd.
Boonville, NC 27011
Telephone Number:
Size (acres): 14 Nearest Town Boonville
Nearest Waterway: UT to Yadkin River Coordinates: 36.269624, 4013914.995077
River Basin/ HUC: Upper Pee Dee
Location description: The site is located at 4650 Pulliam Rd. in Boonville, NC.
Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
A. Preliminary Determination
X There are waters, including wetlands, on the above described project area, that may be subject to Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). The
waters, including wetlands, have been delineated, and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently
accurate and reliable. Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction determination may be used in the permit evaluation process,
including determining compensatory mitigation. For purposes of computation of impacts, compensatory mitigation
requirements, and other resource protection measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat
all waters and wetlands that would be affected in any way by the permitted activity on the site as if they are jurisdictional
waters of the U.S. This preliminary determination is not an appealable action under the Regulatory Program
Administrative Appeal Process (Reference 33 CFR Part 331). However, you may request an approved JD, which is an
appealable action, by contacting the Corps district for further instruction.
There are wetlands on the above described property, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
(CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). However, since the
waters, including wetlands, have not been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdiction determination may not be
used in the permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation, this preliminary determination is merely
an effective presumption of CWA/RHA jurisdiction overall of the waters, including wetlands, at the project area,
which is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision. We recommend that you have
the waters of the U.S. on your property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland
delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the
Corps.
B. Approved Determination
_ There are Navigable Waters of the United States within the above described property subject to the permit requirements
of Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33
USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for
a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
_ There are waters of the U.S. including wetlands on the above described property subject to the permit requirements of
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published
regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
_ We recommend you have the waters of the U.S. on your property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to
accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation
that can be verified by the Corps.
_ The waters of the U.S. including wetlands on your project area have been delineated and the delineation has been
verified by the Corps. If you wish to have the delineation surveyed, the Corps can review and verify the survey upon
completion. Once verified, this survey will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWA and/or RHA
jurisdiction on your property which, provided there is no change in the law or our published regulations, may be relied
upon for a period not to exceed five years.

X The waters of the U.S. including wetlands have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat
signed by the Corps Regulatory Official identified below on . Unless there is a change in the law or our published
regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
There are no waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, present on the above described project area which are subject to the
permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our
published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this
notification.
X The property is located in one of the 20 Coastal Counties subject to regulation under the Coastal Area Management Act
(CAMA). You should contact the Division of Coastal Management to determine their requirements.
Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US and/or wetlands without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC § 1311). Placement of dredged or fill material,
construction or placement of structures, or work within navigable waters of the United States without a Department of the
Army permit may constitute a violation of Sections 9 and/or 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33 USC § 401 and/or 403). If
you have any questions regarding this determination and/or the Corps regulatory program, please contact William Elliott at
828-271-7980, ext. 4225 or [e-mail].
C. Basis for Determination:
See attached preliminary jurisdictional determination form.
The site contains wetlands as determined by the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual and the
Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual: Eastern Mountain and Piedmont
Region (version 2.0). These wetlands are adjacent to stream channels located on the property that exhibit indicators
of ordinary high water marks.
D. Remarks:
The potential waters of the U.S., at this site, were verified on-site by the Corps on 1/24/2018 and are as approximately
depicted on the attached Potential Wetland/Waters Map (dated 11/29/2017)
E. Attention USDA Program Participants
This delineation/determination has been conducted to identify the limits of Corps' Clean Water Act jurisdiction for the
particular site identified in this request. The delineation/determination may not be valid for the wetland conservation
provisions of the Food Security Act of 1985. If you or your tenant are USDA Program participants, or anticipate
participation in USDA programs, you should request a certified wetland determination from the local office of the
Natural Resources Conservation Service, prior to starting work.

1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review
area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option to request and obtain an
approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an informed decision after having discussed the
various types of JDs and their characteristics and circumstances when they may be appropriate.
2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a Nationwide General
Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre- construction notification" (PCN),
or requests verification for a non -reporting NWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant
has not requested an AJD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware that: (1) the
permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization based on a PJD, which does not make
an official determination of jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the option to
request an AJD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that
basing a permit authorization on an AJD could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation
being required or different special conditions; (3) the applicant has the right to request an individual
permit rather than accepting the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit
authorization; (4) the applicant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with
all the terms and conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps
has determined to be necessary; (5) undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit
authorization without requesting an AJD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the
PJD; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered individual permit) or
undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit authorization based on a PJD
constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the review area affected in any way by that
activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and waives any challenge to such jurisdiction in any
administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement action, or in any administrative appeal or in
any Federal court; and (7) whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD or a PJD, the JD will
be processed as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms
and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively appealed
pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an administrative appeal, it becomes appropriate to
make an official determination whether geographic jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the
review area, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review
area, the Corps will provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD
finds that there "may be" waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be" navigable waters of the U.S.
on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review area that could be
affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:

Appendix G – Invasive Species Plan

INVASIVE SPECIES PLAN
Annual monitoring and semi-annual site visits will be conducted to assess the condition of the finished
project. These site inspections may identify the presence of invasive vegetation. RES will treat invasive
species vegetation within the project area and provide remedial action on a case-by-case basis. Common
invasive species vegetation, such as Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora),
tree-of-heaven (Ailanthus altissima), and Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), will be treated to
allow native plants to become established within the conservation easement. Invasive species vegetation
will be treated by approved mechanical and/or chemical methods such that the percent composition of
exotic/invasive species is less than 5% of the total riparian buffer area. Any control methods requiring
herbicide application will be performed in accordance with NC Department of Agriculture (NCDA) rules
and regulations. If areas of invasive species exist within the easement, they will be monitored yearly as part
of the monitoring protocol, and treated if necessary. If required, problem areas will continue to be treated
until the project easement shows overall trending towards meeting all monitoring requirements.

The Corps determined the prospectus document was complete and issued a public notice
(P/N # SAW-2017-01462) on September 6, 2017. The purpose of this notice was to solicit the
views of interested State and Federal agencies and other parties either interested in or affected by
the proposed work. In addition, the Corps and members of the Interagency Review Team (IRT)
conducted field reviews of the proposed mitigation sites on October 16 - 18, 2017. Attached are
comments received in response to the public notice from the North Carolina Wildlife Resource
Commission, and a field visit memo incorporating comments from the attending IRT members.
The Corps has reviewed the information provided and considered the comments received
in response to the public notice and the field site visits. We have determined that the proposed
mitigation bank appears to have the potential to restore and protect aquatic resources within the
Upper Yadkin 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03040101 of the Yadkin River Basin.
Therefore, the bank sponsor may proceed with preparation of a draft Mitigation Banking
Instrument (MBI).

DATE: 26 October 2017
SUBJECT: Comments on RES Yadkin 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank
Davie, Yadkin and Surry Counties
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed
the final prospectus for the RES Yadkin 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank Site. NCWRC staff
attended site visits with regulatory agency staff October 16-18. The prospectus proposes stream
restoration, enhancement, and preservation on over 29,800 feet of stream to net over 18,000
SMUs in the Yadkin River Basin (03040101).
The bank includes five sites, and general comments on each site follow:
x Gideon Site. Located on a 76-acre parcel and sandwiched between two Division of
Mitigation Services (DMS) sites, this agricultural site will involve restoration, enhancement,
and preservation on 4,092 ft of Mill Creek and unnamed tributaries (UTs) to Mill Creek,
netting 2,664 SMUs. The site is less than a mile upstream of the Mitchell River, which
serves as habitat for Brook Floater (Alasmidonta varicosa, US Federal Species of Concern,
NC Endangered). Excellent erosion and sediment control is especially important at both this
site and the adjacent DMS sites to minimize impacts to this mussel.
x Compass Point Site. This site is located on a 209-acre parcel in agricultural and forestry
uses. It was recently logged. The project will involve restoration and enhancement on 5,024
ft of UTs to the Yadkin River, netting 3,709 SMUs. The downstream end of the site is at the
confluence with the Yadkin River, and protection and enhancement of riparian habitat at this
location is especially ecologically beneficial, as it will provide a wildlife corridor that is
connected to the Yadkin River. We recommend that the landowner expand the forested
riparian area along the Yadkin River, as well. Two rare mussels [Creeper (Strophitus
undulatus, NC Threatened) and Brook Floater] are found in the Yadkin River in the vicinity
RES Yadkin 01 Mitigation Bank Page 2 October 26, 2017
Davie, Yadkin, Surry Counties
of the project, and erosion and sediment control is especially important at this site to
minimize impacts to these species.
x Green Mesa. This site is on a 273-acre parcel in agricultural use, and project activities
include restoration, enhancement, and preservation on 7,776 ft of UTs to North Deep Creek,
netting 3,531 SMUs. The old dam structure downstream of the present dam may serve as bat
habitat, and NCWRC biologists may perform bat surveys there in 2018.
x Twiman. This site is comprised of 10 parcels totaling 266 acres in agricultural use, and
project activities include restoration, enhancement, and preservation on 10,477 ft of UTs to
North Deep Creek, netting 5,766 SMUs.
x Scout. This site is on two parcels totaling 522 acres in agricultural use, and project activities
include restoration on 2,467 ft of Hauser Creek, netting 2,467 SMUs.
Detailed comments on the mitigation approach are captured in RES staff’s October 16-18 site
visit summary. NCWRC staff has reviewed this summary and has provided comments on it in a
separate email.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If we can be of further
assistance, please contact Andrea Leslie at [phone] or at [e-mail].

Dates: October 16, 17, and 18, 2017
Gideon Site – 10/16/17
The Gideon Site is located between two disjunct portions of the recently contracted DMS Little
Sebastian full delivery site. While each project could be developed independently of the other,
the combined easements will result in a much larger contiguous protected corridor and high-
quality aquatic habitat.WRC mentioned that there are known occurrences of the brook floater
(Alasmidonta varicosa) in the Mitchell River, approximately 0.5 miles downstream of the
project area which RES mentioned in the Prospectus. Connecting the Gideon and Little Sebastian
Sites offer opportunities to create and protect habitat for the State protected species. IRT
members agreed the Gideon site is acceptable for compensatory mitigation, and final credit ratios
will be determined in the Approved Mitigation Plan. Reach specific comments are below.
x DWR requested that RES determine the potential wetlands on site. RES is currently
delineating the site.
x MC3-A: Group agreed to restoration at 1:1 ratio as originally proposed in prospectus.
RES explained that cows have full access and the landowner has historically moved the
channel. RES affirmed that construction sequencing would harvest native bed material
when possible (e.g. cobble). The crossing will be a culvert.
x JN5 – Group thought that Enhancement I at a 1.5:1 ratio would be more appropriate
approach for this reach instead of Enhancement II. Enhancement measures will include
grading banks, installing grade control structures (including at the tie-in with MC3-A),
planting the buffer, and cattle exclusion.
x JN4 – Similar to JN5, the Group thought that Enhancement I at a 1.5:1 ratio would be a
more appropriate approach for below the crossing. Enhancement measures will include
removing pipe in old channel, fixing current culvert, grading banks, installing grade
control structures, planting the buffer, and cattle exclusion. Enhancement III at a 5:1 ratio
is the approach for above the crossing and includes cattle exclusion and light
supplemental planting.

x MC3-B: RES originally proposed Enhancement II at 2.5:1, but the Group agreed to
change the approach to Enhancement III at 5:1 ratio because of channel condition and
cattle access. Enhancement measures will include planting the buffer on the left bank and
cattle exclusion.
x JN6-C – RES originally proposed restoration on this reach and Group agreed to that
approach. However, proposed alignment and restoration approach will need to be dictated
by topographic survey data. RES is in process of data collection, including delineating
slough feature. WRC suggested fencing slough area if not in alignment of proposed
restoration area. Barns will likely be removed and the culvert at the driveway will be
reset to improve hydrologic connection to JN6-B.WRC Comment: At the break between
JN6-B & JN6-A, there is an old road that is eroding. RES agreed to stabilize this road.
x JN6-B – RES originally proposed Enhancement II on this reach. DWR did not agree to
2.5:1 ratio due to buffer being intact, but does agree this reach should be part of the
overall project. The consensus was Enhancement III at a 5:1 ratio with an approach of
removing the crossing and cattle exclusion.
x JN6-A – RES originally proposed preservation on this reach. Group agreed to including
this top part of the reach as preservation. The JD will determine the limits.
Compass Point Site – 10/16/17
IRT members agreed the Compass Point site is acceptable for compensatory mitigation, and final
credit ratios will be determined in the Approved Mitigation Plan. Reach specific comments are
below.
x DW6: RES originally proposed Enhancement II at 2.5:1 ratio. WRC and DWR
recommended more of an Enhancement I approach (ranging from a 1.5 to 2 ratio), which
would include bank work (spot stabilization), riparian buffer planting, and livestock
exclusion.
x DW1-A: RES originally proposed restoration at 1:1 ratio and Group agreed, with the
exception being the upstream most portion that ties into DW6. Group agreed that a mix of
Enhancement I and II would be best approach on the first 250 feet of DW1-A.
x DW2: Group agreed to Enhancement II at 2.5:1 ratio as originally proposed in
prospectus. RES confirmed that cows have access. Enhancement measures will include
planting the riparian buffer and cattle exclusion. DWR and RES agreed to installing a
stream gauge midway on the reach to monitor hydrology.
x DW1-B: RES originally proposed Enhancement II at 2.5:1 ratio. Group discussed
Enhancement I at a 1.5:1 ratio with enhancement measures including a combination of
bed and bank work, complete riparian buffer planting, and cattle exclusion. DWR
Comment: there was some discussion of E1, however, if that ratio is proposed vs the E2,
then the work needs to be justified in the mit plan. For the reach DW1-D, DWR believes
while it is a benefit to have a corridor connect to the Yadkin River, however, the ratio
that is appropriate would be no better than 7.5:1.USACE Comment: This will transition
from restoration in DW1-A at bedrock point. Buffered on one side, some areas do need
bank shaping. EII only if the banks are addressed. The existing road may cause the buffer
to be pinched to less than 50' at the end of the reach.
x DW1-C: RES originally proposed restoration at 1:1 ratio. This reach has patches of high
quality bed material including cobble and bedrock. Group agreed a Priority II Restoration
approach, including benching to aid in floodplain connectivity, would be the best
measure.
x DW1-D – RES originally proposed Enhancement III at a 5:1 ratio on this reach. WRC
wants to see this reach protected and included in the project. DWR and USACE
recommended a 7.5:1 ratio. The approach will be cattle exclusion and installing a boulder
grade control structure below the limits of restoration on DW1-C. WRC Comment: We
support the protection and riparian buffer enhancement of this reach, which would protect
a riparian corridor that would connect the Yadkin River to the site.
Green Mesa Site – 10/17/17
Overall the site has clear potential for functional uplift, but there are a few notable constraints
including powerline easement and a large pond that will remain (landowner will not allow pond
to be part of project). Because the pond will remain in place, RES and USACE discussed
potentially retrofitting the riser structure to include a bottom pond drain to release cooler water.
IRT members agreed the Green Mesa site is acceptable for compensatory mitigation, and final
credit ratios will be determined in the Approved Mitigation Plan. Reach specific comments are
below.
x FF4 and FF1-D: RES originally proposed restoration at a 1:1 ratio. The approach is a mix
of Priority I and II restoration with potential for enhancement level I above the powerline
based on bedrock in the channel. USACE said clearly justify rationale for restoration
measures.
x FF1-C: RES originally proposed enhancement II at a 2.5:1 ratio. DWR and USACE
stated if channel was left in place and enhancement II approach was taken that it was
likely for no credit to be given due to powerline and lack of buffer near the road. Group
discussed starting restoration immediately below Baptist Church Road and RES agreed
this was best option if feasible.WRC Comment: There was discussion of raising the bed
elevation to lessen the DOT culvert perch. The discussion on lower FF1-C being too
close to the road also applies to upper FF1-D. Turning the channel into the field
upstream of where it turns now could allow R credit for both.
x FF1-C (below pond): RES originally proposed enhancement II at a 2.5:1 ratio with an
approach of cattle exclusion, buffer planting, and tying into the restoration area. There is
a large stone wall in this reach with a culvert that might need to be retrofitted (if
possible). Group agreed the best approach is probably to leave the wall in place and credit
the enhancement at 3:1.USACE Comment: I agree with your summary for both areas
above and below the pond. It's recommended that SHPO review this area (and the area
where the other historic wall is in the buffer in FF1-A).
x FF5: RES originally proposed enhancement III at a 5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle
exclusion, invasive species treatment, and supplemental planting on right bank. DWR
stated there is no cattle pressure and there is decent buffer on the banks, but invasives are
problematic (high density of privet). WRC would like some of the black walnut removed
and those areas replanted with a more diverse mix of native hardwood vegetation.
USACE and DWR suggested a ratio of 7.5:1; however, if buffer planting and easement
was extended to at least 100 feet a higher ratio could be approved.
x FF3-A: RES originally proposed enhancement II at a 2.5:1 ratio with an approach of
cattle exclusion and buffer planting. During the site visit RES suggested enhancement I at
a 1.5:1 ratio with an added measure of bank stabilization to reduce shear stress and in-
channel erosion. WRC agreed to rationale for enhancement I approach, but DWR stated
that there isn’t much work needed on this reach and a ratio of 5:1 is likely most
appropriate (see FF3-B below).DWR Comment: I had FF3A and B combined at a ratio
of 7.5:1.WRC Comment: We did not agree with the E1 approach, as this reach has a
stellar riparian forest; definitely agree on an E3 approach here, as light tough is needed
and riparian area is too nice to justify getting heavy equipment to address channel
erosion.USACE Comment: Widening the buffer and invasives control are necessary
here. My notes indicate a ratio of 5-7:5:1, depending on justification of functional uplift.
The historic house in the buffer should be addressed.
x FF3-B: RES originally proposed enhancement III at a 5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle
exclusion and light supplemental planting. IRT suggested combining FF3-A and FF3-B
into one reach and having the entire crediting approach be enhancement III at a 5:1 ratio.
This area might be generating wetlands that RES would not be claiming credit. RES is
currently delineating the site.DWR Comment: I had FF3A and B combined at a ratio of
7.5:1.USACE Comment: Widening the buffer and invasives control are necessary here.
My notes indicate a ratio of 5-7:5:1, depending on justification of functional uplift,
especially considering these enter the pond. A narrative of historical farming practices
would be beneficial.
x FF1-B: RES originally proposed enhancement III at a 5:1 ratio and Group agreed and
stated to justify the uplift in the mitigation plan.WRC Comment: There is evidence of
beaver here.
x FF2: RES originally proposed preservation and Group agreed to a 7.5:1 ratio with an
approach of fencing where needed.DWR Comment: DWR could go with 7.5:1 on the
preservation (FF2) but would like to see the reach extended above the crossing at the top
and fenced out.WRC Comment: There was a discussion on preserving a little more
above the fence line and whether the old road would be planted/fenced. There was a
question on the location of the property line and end of preservation.USACE Comment:
Channel in good condition, USACE feels preservation at 10:1 is appropriate. The
discussion of 7.5:1 would be entertained if the upstream portion excluded cattle, as well.
x FF1-A: RES originally proposed enhancement II at a 2.5:1 ratio with an approach of
cattle exclusion and buffer planting. While there might be some opportunities for bank
work, the group agreed that the enhancement II approach was best based on the amount
of bedrock in this reach.
Twiman Site – 10/17/17
IRT members agreed the Twiman site is acceptable for compensatory mitigation, and final credit
ratios will be determined in the Approved Mitigation Plan. Reach specific comments are below.
x TC2-A: RES originally proposed Enhancement I at 1.5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle
exclusion, buffer planting, and bank stabilization. Group agreed to this approach.
x TC2-B: RES originally proposed restoration at 1:1 ratio. Group generally agreed with this
approach, but did note there is a section of potential enhancement I below the pond. Upon
further data collection/analysis, RES will determine the best approach for this section of
TC2-B. WRC Comment: The group discussed establishing the break between EI and R
at the bedrock nickpoint.
x TC1-A: RES originally proposed restoration at 1:1 ratio. Group agreed to this approach.
x TC3-A: RES originally proposed Enhancement II at 2.5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle
exclusion, buffer planting, invasive species treatment and spot stabilization. Group
agreed to this approach with a ratio ranging from 2.5 to 3 to be justified in the mitigation
plan.
x TC1-B: RES originally proposed Enhancement III at 5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle
exclusion and buffer planting. IRT suggested restoration as the approach. RES is open to
examining restoration along this reach based on watershed size and design discharge.
DWR Comment: these reaches should be restoration. If RES decides that restoration not
feasible then the ratio for enhancement would be greater than 5:1, could be as high as 8:1.
Planting outer 20 feet just does not do a lot for this system.USACE Comment: This
channel is incised, poor substrate, no buffer, channelized, with an available floodplain.
USACE & DWR feel restoration is appropriate.
x TC4: RES originally proposed Enhancement III at 5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle
exclusion and buffer planting. IRT suggested restoration as the approach. RES is open to
examining restoration along this reach based on watershed size and design discharge.
DWR Comment: these reaches should be restoration. If RES decides that restoration not
feasible then the ratio for enhancement would be greater than 5:1, could be as high as 8:1.
Planting outer 20 feet just does not do a lot for this system.USACE Comment: This
channel is incised, poor substrate, no buffer, channelized, with an available floodplain.
USACE & DWR feel restoration is appropriate.
x TC5-B: RES originally proposed Enhancement II at 2.5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle
exclusion, buffer planting, and minor spot stabilization. IRT suggested a lower ratio of
3:1 in some areas based on existing buffer condition. RES recommends potentially
splitting the reach into different treatments based on level of intervention and will justify
rationale in mitigation plan.
x TC7: RES originally proposed Enhancement II at 2.5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle
exclusion, buffer planting, invasive species treatment and spot stabilization. Group
agreed to this approach with a ratio ranging from 2.5 to 3 to be justified in the mitigation
plan.USACE Comment: 3:1 ratio would be more appropriate.
x TC6: RES originally proposed Enhancement II at 2.5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle
exclusion and buffer planting. This reach is in a deeply formed gully, but is currently
stable with the exception of multiple headcuts at the top of the reach. DWR suggested
“filling in” the reach to bring the bed up and credit as restoration with a 1:1 ratio. RES
expressed concerns with filling in the gully because thee stream might lose jurisdictional
status after construction with such a small watershed (roughly 20 acres). DWR Comment:
Reach TC6 may not be a creditable reach. While I feel that the only beneficial treatment
would be filling like a RSC approach it is likely the stream would lose flow. Planting the
outer 20 feet for this reach would not be creditable enhancement either.USACE
Comment: I would question whether there would be flow if the bed was raised with
restoration. USACE would not release credit if the restored channel was not
jurisdictional. The channel is part of the larger system, and the lower portions of this
reach would benefit from cattle exclusion. I would suggest a lower EII ratio of 5-7.5:1.
x TC5-A: RES originally proposed Enhancement III at 5:1 ratio with an approach of cattle
exclusion and buffer planting. IRT agreed that this is an appropriate approach, but RES
needs to clearly justify the rationale for the enhancement on this reach.DWR Comment:
IRT suggested 7.5:1, would consider 5:1 if justified in mit plan. WRC Comment: RES
will need to address the issue of cattle accessing land via passage under the bridge and
the associated erosion.USACE Comment: USACE and DWR agreed that 7.5:1 would be
more appropriate, unless 5:1 can be justified.
Scout Site- 10/18/17
The Scout Site is located just upstream of the lower portion of the recently contracted DMS
Mockingbird Site. While each project could be developed independently of the other, the
combined easements will result in a better project and most importantly provide the opportunity
to add over 2,000 linear feet of priority I restoration and limit the amount of priority II
restoration on the Mockingbird Site. IRT members agreed the Scout site is acceptable for
compensatory mitigation, and final credit ratios will be determined in the Approved Mitigation
Plan. Reach specific comments are below.
x HC3: Group agreed that restoration at 1:1 ratio is the best approach for this reach and
including it will improve the development of the Mockingbird project. USACE
commented that a hunting blind within the proposed easement area will need to be
removed. There is an existing crossing that will be removed as part of the design. RES
also showed a tributary that was not included in the prospectus that would be eligible for
potential restoration credit at the tie-in with HC3, but would more likely be Enhancement
II for the rest of the reach.

Memorandum to the Record
October 6, 2017

Response to Public Notice and agency comments on the Prospectus to establish
the RES Yadkin 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank (SAW-2017-01462) in the Upper
Yadkin River Basin HUC 03040101, North Carolina.

Andrea,
Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback and comments on the Public Notice (SAW-
2017-01462) for the RES Yadkin 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank (Bank) Prospectus. The bank
Sponsor, Environmental Banc and Exchange, LLC wishes to establish a commercial umbrella
mitigation bank to generate mitigation banking credits to provide compensatory mitigation for
unavoidable impacts to aquatic resources associated with Section 404 permits within the Upper
Yadkin River Basin HUC 03040101. The Bank consists of establishing five mitigation sites
expected to provide approximately 6,373 cool Stream Mitigation Units (SMU) and 11,764 warm
SMUs by restoring, enhancing and preserving over 29,800 linear feet of stream and riparian
corridor. The project is designed to address stressors identified in the watershed and provide
improvements and ecological uplift to water quality, hydrologic function and both aquatic and
terrestrial habitat.
The EPA Region 4 Ocean, Wetlands and Stream Protection Branch offers the following
comments as they pertain to RES Yadkin 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank Final Prospectus dated
July, 2017 and the Public Notice dated September 6, 2017.
 Section 1.4/Page 3: The project goals stated are too broad and somewhat vague. For
example, the goal: “Nutrient removal” and a few others may be better presented as
“Intercept, filter, minimize and potentially eliminate nutrients (such as…), sediment and
other pollutants/pathogens before entering the aquatic environment”.
o The goal of “Improved aquatic and terrestrial habitat” is also vague and does not
address any particular habitat or species of interest. Since we have cool water
habitats being presented for restoration/enhancement then the goals should
address the habitat types and rationale for considering them.
o “Invasive species treatment” is more of an objective or action (and is stated as
such in the document) to address the real goal of “Eliminate competition to
native vegetation from exotic and invasive floral species”.
o I understand that many of the “goals” presented are at the prospectus level and
not necessarily applicable to each site but without clear goals, the establishment
of objectives and performance standards that relate back to the goals and
functional uplift of the site becomes more challenging.
 Section 3.7/Page 6: The last sentence should read: “If planted tree mortality affects 40
percent or greater of the initial planting in a stream or wetland restoration or
enhancement area, then a remedial/supplemental planting plan will be implemented
for the affected area(s).” This addresses “planted” vs. “volunteer” mortality and defines
the starting point to consider mortality.
 Section 5.1/Page 9: Be sure to continue coordinating the work at the Gideon Site with
the Little Sebastian sites and ensure the Mitigation Plan is updated with relevant
information about the adjacent restoration site. NCDMS’ Little Sebastian site is now out
on Public Notice, SAW-2017-01507, dated September 21, 2017. The Mitigation Plan
should address how the Gideon Site will tie in with the adjacent restoration work so that
the projects connect seamlessly and minimize disturbance to one another.
 Section 5.4.7/Page 13: Be sure to identify the adjacent restoration work at the Little
Sebastian site upstream and downstream of the project as a potential constraint. See
comment above.
 Section 5.5/Page 14: Table 6 does not match Figure 8. Be sure not to carry error forward
into the Mitigation Plan for Gideon Site.
 Section 5.5.1/Page 14: Second paragraph should state Enhancement Level II instead of
Level I. I also recommend 50-foot riparian buffers be considered for this site due to the
high potential for nutrients and fecal pathogens to enter the stream from the adjacent
pasture.
 Section 7.1/Page 21: SMU discrepancy should be corrected to match Table 6 on page 26.
 Section 7.4.2/Page 22: Information on FF-5 is missing.
 Section 7.5.1/Page 26: Enhancement Level I is not being utilized at the Green Mesa Site.
Level II is proposed for Reach FF3-A.
 Section 8.5.1/Page 34: Priority Level I is proposed for TC3-B only. Be sure to note pond
removals in this paragraph and restoration plan in general.
 Section 8.5.1/Page 35: Enhancement Level II includes TC3-A also.
 Section 9.1/Page 36: Recommend continuing to coordinate with NCDMS and the
adjacent Mockingbird site currently out on Public Notice (SAW-2017-01505) dated
September 15, 2017. The Mockingbird site is considering a Priority II approach to
restoration along Hauser Creek at the terminus of the Scout Site which is considering
Priority I approach on Hauser Creek (HC3). I agree that the sites can be developed
independently but they should complement each other and provide for a seamless
transition as one moves downstream from Scout to Mockingbird.
 Section 9.4.7/Page 39: See comment above.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback, comments and concerns with the RES
Yadkin 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank Prospectus and associated proposed sites to provide
compensatory mitigation in the Upper Yadkin River watershed of North Carolina. I believe the
sponsor has provided a viable plan to offset warm and cool water stream impacts that will be
incurred within the proposed service area. If you or the sponsor have any questions or need
clarification on any of the comments stated above, please contact me at 404-562-9225 or at
[e-mail].
Best Regards,
Todd Bowers
