Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. The purpose of the plan is to restore a stable stream in a former pond be as a visual recreational and educational amenity. The natural area will consist of the restored stream conservation buffers bioretention cells and pond areas. This area is adjacent to and upland park area with large specimen trees. The area is a passive recreational amenity n for the employees of the Twin Lakes Business Park Approximately 400 linear feetof the stream is stable and will be preserved. In accordance with USACE and NCDENR requirements the restoration area by restrictive covenants The Wilmington District Process for Preservation of Mitigation Property will be used to develop the restrictive covenants. VIII. Mitigation DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial streams. USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include, but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar functions and values, preferable in the same watershed. If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at littp://h2o.etir.state.nc.us/ncwetIands/striiiL,ide.liti-n1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet) of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view, preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach a separate sheet if more space is needed. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program (NCWRP).

Planting schedule for Bank and Riparian Areas 1. Restoration Project Goals C L C n C! U., U 1-1 F,,, ri'l.-I, 0 The goals of the proposed stream restoration activities are to restore original morphologic, hydrologic and ecologic functions to approximately 416 linear feet of a Rosgen E5/C5 stream reach in northern Mecklenburg County along an un-named lst order perennial stream located with the "Twin Lakes Business Park" on a common area open space tract held by the Twin Lakes Limited Partnership. The site was formerly a small lake, but road widening along US21 in association with construction of the nearby I-485 Charlotte outerbelt forced NCDOT to drain the lake and install a riprap lined ditch to collect and convey runoff to the new culvert that was placed under the widened US21 (the latter installed at the sediment-in level of the old lake bottom). Watershed runoff from approximately .15 sq. mi. flows into the lake where it is conveyed along a channel with more ditch-like characteristics than that of a natural stream to the outflow culvert. This stream restoration plan presents: a) the reference reach restoration design foundations, b) the morphologic restoration elements for stream pattern, dimension, and profile, c) channel habitat and stability measures, d) the stream bank and riparian planting and habitat conservation measures, and e) monitoring and contingency plans. 2. Site Location and Background Information Figure 1 shows a location map and driving directions to both the proposed restoration reach and the reference reach sites. These sites both lie within the Twin Lakes Business Park and are located within adjacent catchments within the headwaters to Long Creek. The connector roads in the Park are now cut by the outerbelt right of way, and the two sites must be accessed from different entrances as indicated in the driving directions noted on Figure 1. 2.1 Topographic, physiographic, and watershed setting. Figure 2 shows the 1:24,000 USGS topographic and hydrographic data for the vicinity of the Twin Lakes Business Park. On this map the watershed boundaries have been delineated for both the proposed restoration reach and the reference reach. Both -watersheds are headwater catchments of Long Creek (Catawba River Basin) and lie within the North Carolina Piedmont Physiographic Region. The drainage basin contributing to stream flow at the lower end of the proposed restoration site is approximately 0.15 square miles. Three small subcatchments converge on the reach within the drained lake at the restoration site. The drainage basin contributing to stream flow at the reference reach is also 0.15 square miles. The proposed restoration reach and reference reach are 1St order tributaries that have perennial flow. The USGS map shows only the pre-existing lake at the restoration site, and then an intermittent blue line extending down stream from the lake. Visits to the.site over the last few years has demonstrated that the main channel feeding the lake (from the NNE p. 1 - HARP C u H G] U. n_" n u [J u U, n k- subcatchment) is a perennial stream with persistent year round baseflow. The USGS map shows the reference reach as an intermittent stream, but again, persistent baseflow has been noted over the last few months, a period during which there has been below average precipitation. 2.2 Landuse in the watershed Figure 3 shows a 2004 color aerial photograph for the vicinity of the Twin Lakes Business Park, and the headwater areas of Long Creek, Mecklenburg County. The landcover/landuse that dominates a watershed, particularly the impervious surfaces such as roads, parking lots, and building roofs, can significantly impact a number of basic morphologic indices for natural stream channels due to the increases in storm water discharges. The most important factor is the creek dimension, which can undergo a 400% enlargement as it transitions from wooded lands to a highly urbanized landscape. However, in more recent years the larger NC urban areas have implemented storm water regulations that limit some of the impacts of the increased impervious cover accompanying development. The Twin Lakes Business Park has storm water BMP requirements for its commercial tenants, and thus would not be expected to experience dramatic changes in bankfull channel morphologies. This catchment does, however include a portion of the North Mecklenburg High School at its northern limits, which does not have storm water BMP's in place and would generate some minor amount of increase runoff within the catchment. The reference reach watershed is largely open land (<15% impervious) and can be considered a rural NC Piedmont watershed. This will change soon, as the outer belt is completed, and bring raise the impervious cover for the catchment to closer to 30%. On the basis of a comparison of the landuse between the two watershed, it would be expected that the reference reach would have bankfull discharges slightly lower than those of the restoration reach. 2.3 Soils and Geology of the restoration and reference reach sites Figures 4 and 5 show the soil and geologic rock types that are found in both the reference and restoration sites. A range of soil types, common in northern Mecklenburg County, are found in both watershed. These soil types are derived from the underlying igneous and metamorphic rocks composing the Charlotte Granite Belt, specifically the meta- quartz diorites and tonalites for the restoration reach, and a mix of meta-quartz diorites and tonalites and meta-volcanic units for the reference reach. The former catchment is dominated by Cecil sandy-clay loams, the latter by Vance sandy loams. However, the reference reach lies within a small corridor of floodplain alluvial sandy clay loams (of the Monacan soils unit) that were not mapped on the Mecklenburg County Soils maps, and this provides a comparable context to the restoration reach setting where the restored stream will lie within the alluvial/lucustrian deposits of the former lake. 3. Existing Conditions in the Reach Proposed for Restoration 1 p. 2 - HARP hJ Figure 6 shows a planform map of the degraded reach that lies within the drained lake bottom. This was surveyed with tape and compass in November of 2005. The 416 feet proposed for restoration can be separated into two zones. The lower of the two is formed of a linear ditch that was recently enlarged and lined with rip rap to stabilize and direct water into the down stream culvert in association with the road widening project along US21 (see Photo #TL-2, Appendix A). This segment is approximately 260 feet in length. The adjacent up stream 230 feet of channel is composed of basically three linear segments without significant meanders or riffles. The remaining portions of the stream leading up to culvert under the Twin Lakes Parkway is not proposed for restoration as this area has both some natural meander and riffle characteristics along with riparian woody vegetation. Figure 7 shows three cross sections for the reach within the drained lake. It is clear from these sections that there is no consistency in dimension along the reach. It is also clear that the lower area lined with rip rap is over dimensioned when compared to either the reference reach data, or the NC regime data (discussed below, and presented in Tables 1- 3). Appendix B contains a series of photographs taken in the proposed restoration reach in November of 2005. The photographs show typical channel conditions within the lower 500 feet of the impacted channel. Most of the lower reach is composed of a silted-in run with no significant pools or riffles down to where the bed is lined with rip rap. .In summary, the lower 400 to 500 linear feet of channel that lies within the old pond bottom has a degraded planform, dimension, and profile and should be restored to morphologic conditions that can provide most if not all of the original functions of the stream that was situated in this location prior to the creation of the lake. A stable restoration is proposed for approximately 416 linear feet herein using a reference reach and bio-engineering approach. Reference reach information is discussed below, and is then followed by a detailed presentation of the design, stability assessment and planting plans. 4. Reference Reach Information A 380 foot long reference reach for the restoration was located on a nearby tributary of similar drainage area and physical setting (see figures 1, and 2 for location and topographic setting). The reach has both C and E Rosgen channel characteristics, and indicates long term stability of both channel grade and planform by the presence of old trees rooted along banks at stream bottom grade, as well as thick moss coverings along most outer meander bend banks (see reference reach photographs of Appendix B). The reference reach planform was mapped in detail using tape and compass and is shown in figure 8. From the planform mapping meander radii, meander belt width, meander p. 3 - HARP s 1-1 u wavelength, and sinuosity were determined, annotated on Figure 8, and summarized in Table 1. The reference reach has a relatively high sinuosity of 1.42 (thus the Rosgen E affiliation) for a North Carolina Piedmont I" order tributary. The meander bends have an average radii of curvature of approximately 11 feet with an average wavelength 35 feet. The average radius of curvature (11 ft) is slightly less than 2 x the bankfull width, perhaps influenced by three of the meander bends that have trees which have inhibited meander evolution over time. Normally meander radii at morphologic equilibrium will be 2 to 2.5 x bankfull widths consistent with theoretical and empirical expectations for a stable natural channel (Newbury and Gaboury, 1993). The reference reach channel dimensions, along with bankfull indicators are shown in Figure 9 for three inflection sections, and two meander sections. Individual and average bankfull widths, depths, areas, entrenchment ratios, and W/D ratios are annotated on the figure, and average values compiled in Table 1. Four bankfull indicators were surveyed in on cross sections and averaged to obtain a mean bankfull stage for the reach. The channel has an average maximum bankfull depth of 1.13 feet, an average bankfull width of approximately 7.75 feet, an average depth of 0.78 foot, and bankfull area of 6.45 square feet. The entrenchment ratio is greater than 5.75. The dimensional data is directly applied to the design to promote sediment transport continuity and long term bank and bed stability. This is achieved by nonnalizing bed shear stresses throughout the corridor at the bankfull stage. The longitudinal profile for the reach was surveyed in using tape and transit level, and is shown in Figure 10. The longitudinal profile of the reference reach shows a nice pattern of alternating pools and riffles with a riffle to pool ratio of approximately Z 0.53. The 1 pools are dynamically maintained by meander bends and scour zones within riffle areas and provide an excellent reference for re-establishing bed habitat structure in impacted reach. The average length of the riffles is z 8.8 ft, and the avereage length of the pools is z 15.25 ft. There is approximately .7 to 1 feet of water depth in the pools, and .1 ft of water depth in the riffles at low flow stage. 5. North Carolina regime data analysis •A second method of determining the likely dominant (channel forming) discharges and stable channel morphological dimensions in a given setting of the North Carolina Piedmont and Mountains is to use "regime" relationships worked out by analysis of streams that have good bankfull morphologic indicators as well as USGS gauging. This analysis has been done for both Mountain and Piedmont streams in the North Carolina Piedmont (Harmon et. al, 1999) and generated the following sets of relationships: Urban Streams (this set is in meters and kin2): Rural Streams (this set is in feet and miz): Abkf= 3.11 AH, 0.14 Abkf = 66.57 A,,, "9 I p. 4 - HARP D n Qbkf = 5.44 ANY 0" Qbkf = 18.31 A,y o." Wbkf - 5.79 A,v 0.32 Wbkf = 1 1.89 A,,.0.43 ® ® Dbkf = 0.54 A,v 0.32 Dbkf= 1.50 A,v 0.32 In these equations, A,v = the drainage basin contributing area Abk f = cross section area of flow at the bankfull stage Qbkf = discharge at the bankfull stage Wbkf = width of the water surface at the bankfull stage e Dbkf = mean depth of flow at the bankfull stage In a followup study to the urban stream analysis of Harmon et.al., 1999, Forsythe et al., 2004 reanalyzed the urban bank-full relationships to watershed area for stream located in the Charlotte metropolitan area. This latter study recorded stage and discharges directly at sections with bankfull indicators rather than by extrapolation from USGS gaging station cross sections. It also verified scaling laws within individual urban watersheds. The second study verifies the earlier conclusion that urban watersheds have adjusted (enlarged) geometries in the Piedmont of North Carolina, but indicates the earlier study over estimated the adjustments. The modified set of urban relationships (in feet and miz) is: o.?a Abkf = 45.57 ANY Qbkf = 169.55 A,v 0. Wbkf = 21.53 A,,, 0.29 . Dbkf - 2.11 A, 0.35 The stream drainage areas pertaining to this project are shown in Table 2. Both the rural and urban estimates for Abkf, Qbkf, Wbkf, and Dbkf generated from the above equations are listed in this table. It should be noted that a preponderance of the data used to generate the urban curves was obtained from urban streams in Mecklenburg County. The values for bankfull discharges under rural and urban conditions are dramatically different, begging an implied history of instability as the creeks transition from rural to urban conditions within their watersheds. The differences in channel dimensions that are required to carry the increased storm flow resulting from urbanization of the watershed create challenges in restoration efforts. Stability under current conditions and stability under future conditions potentially dictate different channel pattern and dimensional attributes. Measures are adopted in the restoration design to limit instability as the watershed undergoes future development. 6. Manning's Equation based Estimation of Banldull Discharge The observations of bankfull indicators within the reference reach allow the Manning e p. 5 - HARP n P", U], k u H] 0 C I r L n Equation to be used to estimate the bankfull discharge associated with this morphologically defined stage. The surveyed estimates of cross-sectional areas, wetted perimeters, and channel slopes, along with estimated Manning's roughness coefficients, allow an average discharge calculation for the reach to be determined using Manning's Equation. The input parameters and calculated results are presented in Table 3. The estimate of Manning's roughness coefficient is somewhat subjective and brings some ambiguity into these calculations. A roughness coefficient value of .026 is adopted for the tributaries based on the depth of bankfull flow with respect to diameter of channel bed materials, the stable bed framework, and bed material sizes following concepts summarized in Arcement and Schneider, 1984. This base value is then modified for other resistance factors such as sinuosity, bank vegetation, and obstructions. To reflect reasonable variation of these parameters within the studied stream reaches, two values of roughness coefficient (.03 and .04) were used to calculate a range of discharge values. The resulting discharge estimates are shown in Table 3 and compare very favorably with the rural regime estimates (10 to 13 efs compared to 11.3 cfs). In these tables values obtained for an additional reference reach acquired from an unnamed tributary to Back Creek a few miles to the cast on the Mecklenburg-Cabarrus County line along with estimates for the proposed restored conditions at the restoration site reach are also included for comparison value. Due to the slightly high stream grade at the restoration reach the Manning equation results in bank-full discharges that are higher than those of the reference reach. This is actually a beneficial consequence as the greater extent of development in the restoration reach's contributing drainage area is anticipate to yield a higher bankfull discharge. Bankfull discharges two to three times that of a rural watershed of similar area can be accommodated if the reference reach dimensions are used in the restoration along with the average steeper stream grade of 0.014. This is still only 1/5`h of the increases represented by the urban streams used to define the urban regime conditions in watershed lacking significant storm water BMPs. 7. Reference Grain Size Information In order to understand the hydraulics that forms and maintains bed structure within the channel, an analysis of the sizes of sediment present in the reference reach channel are normally undertaken. However, due to the recent unknown potential impact of clearing and grading activities for the 1-485 outerbelt on sediment transport dynamics in the primary reference reach for this restoration effort we have elected to use the sediment analysis that was performed on the other nearby UT to Back Creek reference reach (mentioned above). This reach had a slightly smaller drainage area (0.8) but similar channel dimensions, and a steeper stream slope (perhaps more comparable to the restoration site in this regards, ie., .024 versus .019) The D84 in, Dso, and D84 n,ax. grain size values are listed in Table 1. This reference reach-based grain size data will guide the selection of any supplemental bed materials that may have to be placed into the restoration reach. p. 6 - HARP e n 8. Restoration Design There are three morphologic perspectives on the relocation/restoration design, and two additional habitat and stability issues. The morphologic factors are: planform, dimension, and longitudinal profile. These are separately discussed below, and illustrated in Figures 11, 12 and 13. The bed habitat is broken down into riffle and pool areas, which are shown in pattern view on Figure 11, and in longitudinal profile in Figure 13. The sizes of bed materials are listed in Table 1. The details for bank and riparian planting is shown in Figure 15. The details for riffle/cross vane construction are shown in Figure 14. The riparian planting is separately discussed below, as is the analysis for stability. 8.1 Relocation/restoration planform Figure 11 shows a plan view of the proposed restoration. The restored creek will recover a natural and stable radius of curvature, meander belt width and sinuosity by grading a new channel with a series of bends defined by the average design parameters listed in Table 1. Using reference reach conditions, the newly aligned and restored reach is to be broken up into riffle and pool areas by a combination of natural hydraulic action, and use of in stream structures (discussed below). The pattern of meanders will stabilize pools at the apex of the meander bend, and cross vane or sill structures at the heads or tails of riffle zones will stabilize pools in the areas between meanders. 8.2 Restoration dimension Figure 12 shows two typical cross sections for meander and inflection areas of the proposed new stream channel. Using the reference reach sections the bankfull areas as well as bankfull width and depth ratios have been adjusted to promote hydraulic and sediment transport continuity in the reach. The meander bends are restored to more appropriate cross section areas that should limit rates of aggradation on the inner point bars to values more in line with geologic rates of meander cut bank migration. The final restoration reach will have similar bankfull cross section areas and bankfull average depths as those that are typical for the reference reach areas. The stream will be graded to an average slope. The riffle material will be emplaced to create the basic riffle and pool water surfaces. Hydraulic action during the first year of flow will both excavate meander pools along the outer channel perimeter in the meander bend areas, as well as deposit sand and gravel in inner meander bend areas to form the point bars. The inner meander bend areas are purposely graded to low 4:1 slopes to provide space for the growth of inner point bars, as well as to lower bed shear stresses in order to promote sedimentation on the point bars. 8.3 Restoration profile Figure 13 shows the proposed restored longitudinal profile with water and bed elevations. p. 7 - HARP [,-j The restoration reach ties into the up and down stream channels at their existing elevations. Within the new alignment, the proposed changes in riffle and pool grades of the bed are to be achieved by construction of riffle and riffle-cross vane structures. These zones are founded with cobbles sized over the mobilization threshold diameter (discussed under stability below). 8.4 In stream structures There are only two classes of in-stream structures to be used in the restoration of this small I" order stream. In-stream structures are un-nature features that should, as a general rule, be avoided when deemed non-essential. Due to the E channel relationship of the bankfull stage to the floodplain in the proposed restoration there should be no need for hard structures to stabilize meander bend areas. However, since the restored stream will be resting on alluvial or lake (lucustrian) deposits, it is assumed that the new bed will be founded on erodable deposits of sand, silt and clay and that incision could easily occur without some artificial grade control. To prevent incision and promote grade stability each of the riffle areas will be built with the details shown in Figure 10. The use of a base of large footer stones (underlain by non-woven filter) under each of the up stream crests of the riffle zones will inhibit incision and promote both bed and bank stability. Periodically the rock riffle sills will be augmented with cross vanes extending to the bankfull stage (floodplain in this case) Each of the riffle crests have elevations which control up stream pool water levels and also stabilize the riffle to pool ratios for the areas outside of meander bends. The average sizes of the riffle materials to be used are listed in Table 1. The base of the riffle crest is sized 1.5 to 2 x the average diameter indicated in the table to insure immobility. 8.5 Banlc stabilization The banks are to be established as shown in the attached figures for cross sections and bank stabilization (Figures 12 & 15). Banks are to be 1.5:1 or lower. The base of the slopes in areas susceptible to erosion (outer banks on meander bends, and in the flank areas of riffles (without cross vane materials) are to be lined with 7 lbs/ft coconut fiber logs staked according to the directions of the manufacturer. Erosion control matting is to be place on all slopes that are cut or filled. Any soils not judged to be appropriate for plant establishment is to be amended prior to matting. Temporary herbaceous cover is to be planted in the matted areas with a riparian seed mix appropriate to the season of the work for proper germination and temporary stabilization. Then either potted plants or live stakes are to be used to establish woody riparian species along the banks to provide the root density and depth required to inhibit bank erosion. Should woody plants not be planted until the fall or winter season following channel grading, additional herbaceous cover may be needed to assure bank stability during the following spring and summer. Bank stabilization is thus achieved by a combination of factors including: bed stabilization (inhibiting undercutting of banks), use of toe protection in the early years of bank replanting (coir fiber logs), vigorous root structure within the bank, and velocity p. 8 - HARP s reduction at the water/bank interface (produced by the frictional resistance of woody vegetation growing out into the channel cross section area). 8.6 Riparian bank & buffer planting The following outlines the planting plan for the stream restoration components of Twin Lakes project site. The plan includes a list of the types of tree and shrub species that will be used to vegetate the buffer surrounding the project as well as the vegetation that will be used to stabilize the slopes of the new stream banks. These new stream banks will be covered with matting, seeded with a temporary grass seed mixture and then live staked using native material. This covering will extend at least 1 feet beyond the top of bank. The live stakes will be planted on 18 - 24' centers, starting from the top of the coir fiber log to the top of bank. A natural buffer will be provided along both sides of the restored stream. The drained lake bottom is also being used to create two large paired bioretention cells and small ponds (the latter for passive recreational/aesthetic value) that are also shown on Figure 11. However, this still leaves a large area to conserve as a natural bottomland hardwood habitat and riparian stream buffer. All conservation and buffer areas shown on Figure 11 will be planted using tree species native to the area that have wildlife value, and are adapted for riparian and floodplain situations. All buffers are to be left in a natural state, with the exception of selective maintenance that may be needed to maintain channel and riparian habitat functions (e.g. removal of debris, invasive or diseased plants). The buffer will be planted on 8' centers and monitored such that the buffer retains at least 320 trees per acre. Refer to Table 4 for a list of live stake and tree species to be used on this reach. Tree species planted in the buffer will mimic the native tree species found in the project area, however species that are being considered include Black walnut (Juglans nigra), Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), Green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), Hackberry (Celtis laevigalus), Water oak (Quercus nigra) and Overcup oak (Q. lyrata). Bare root seedlings and possibly some 1-2 year-old potted seedlings will be used to re-vegetate or enhance the riparian buffer area. 7. Stability Assessment Stability of the restored reach is achieved by three interdependent approaches. First, slope ' and dimensions are set at values that are consistent along the restoration, and yield bed shear stresses (see Table 1) that will provide transport continuity from upstream to down stream areas. In this way neither erosion nor aggradation of the bed is to be expected. Second, the reach has a series of grade control structures to prevent the bed from eroding into underlying alluvial deposits. Lastly, bank toe support and woody vegetation are designed to promote velocity reductions as well as increase erosional resistance to stream flows. The mobility threshold for clasts in the channel can be approximated by the relationship: Tractive force (kg/m2) = incipient diameter (cm) (Newbury and Gaboury, 1993). The tractive force at the bankfull stage is 5.89 kg/m2 and is 11.78 kg/m2 at the p. 9 - HARP n floodprone stage. This means that the D84 riffle crest material should be at least 17-18 cm in diameter (1.5 x mobility threshold diameters at floodprone stage). 8. Monitoring and Contingency Plans The proposed verification and monitoring for this stream restoration is recommended to be: 1) preparation and submittal of as built document providing constructed pattern, dimension and profile sheets that also show the location of all in stream structures, and recommended photo stations, (photo stations are to be set up for up and down stream tie in points, and each meander bend, and a photo should be provided looking both up and down stream at each station), 2) field checks with archiving of photo documentation of creek conditions during first year of flow following completion of planting program after each significant storm (.5 inches of rainfall), or alternatively on a bi-monthly schedule. 3) Surveys of longitudinal profile and 3 representative cross sections 1, 3 and 5 year following completion of restoration activities. Should monitoring reveal problems either in the channel, banks, or riparian buffer areas the monitoring agent is to inform property owner/manager of the problem. Property owner/manager is to seek appropriate professional advise for remedial action and implement corrective actions as soon as is practical, but the corrective actions under no circumstances should be undertaken no longer than 1 year following initial notice of the problem. Should a corrective action be undertaken in the 5`h year, or for a problem arising during the 5`t' year, the monitoring program is to be extended to provide verification of successful corrective actions for at least one bankfull event following corrective actions. 9.

PLAN: build riffle to extend across base of stream with largest diameter boulders at crest line and reduce sizes progressively downstream. Crest has boulders sized 1 to 1.5 times maximum size transportable with flood prone stage event. Riffle crest has similar sized footers to cohesive saprolite or bedrock. 2. PROFILE: construct downstream face of riffle at approximately 20:1 and upstream face at approximately 4:1 slope. Slope should be adjusted to meet design riffle:pool ratio, and riffle slopes. 3. CROSS-SECTION: V-shaped crest cut down towards center of channel. 4. SURFACE: space large surface rocks 20 to 30 cm apart on the downstream face of the riffle to form low fish passage channels. 5. BANKS: extend riffle side slopes up bank to levels equal to height of coir fiber logs, and then extend crest back with rock emplaced within banks at 20 to 30°angle from bank, and with a rise angle of 2-7° (as is seen in the cross vane structures).

Restoration Project Goals 1 The goals of the proposed stream restoration activities are to restore original morphologic, hydrologic and ecologic functions to approximately 416 linear feet of a Rosgen E5/C5 stream reach in northern Mecklenburg County along an un-named 1St order perennial stream located with the "Twin Lakes Business Park" on a common area open space tract held by the Twin Lakes Limited Partnership. The site was formerly a small lake, but road widening along US21 in association with construction of the nearby I-485 Charlotte outerbelt forced NCDOT to drain the lake and install a riprap lined ditch to collect and convey runoff to the new culvert that was placed under the widened US21 (the latter installed at the sediment-in level of the old lake bottom). Watershed runoff from approximately .15 sq. mi. flows into the lake where it is conveyed along a channel with more ditch-like characteristics than that of a natural stream to the outflow culvert. This stream restoration plan presents: a) the reference reach restoration design foundations, b) the morphologic restoration elements for stream pattern, dimension, and profile, c) channel habitat and stability measures, d) the stream bank and riparian planting and habitat conservation measures, and e) monitoring and contingency plans. e 2. Site Location and Background Information Figure 1 shows a location map and driving directions to both the proposed restoration reach and the reference reach sites. These sites both lie within the Twin Lakes Business Park and are located within adjacent catchments within the headwaters to Long Creek. The connector roads in the Park are now cut by the outerbelt right of way, and the two sites must be accessed from different entrances as indicated in tine driving directions noted on Figure 1. 2.1 Topographic, physiographic, and watershed setting. Figure 2 shows the 1:24,000 USGS topographic and hydrographic data for the vicinity of the Twin Lakes Business Park. On this map the watershed boundaries have been delineated for both the proposed restoration reach and the reference reach. Both watersheds are headwater catchments of Long Creek (Catawba River Basin) and lie within the North Carolina Piedmont Physiographic Region. The drainage basin contributing to stream flow at the lower end of the proposed restoration site is approximately 0.15 square miles. Three small subcatchments converge on the reach within the drained lake at the restoration site. The drainage basin contributing to stream flow at the reference reach is also 0.15 square miles. The proposed restoration reach and reference reach are I" order tributaries that have perennial flow. The USGS map shows only the pre-existing lake at the restoration site, and then an intermittent blue line extending down stream from the lake. Visits to the site over the last few years has demonstrated that the main channel feeding the lake (from the NNE p. 1 - HARP subcatchment) is a perennial stream with persistent year round baseflow. The USGS map shows the reference reach as an intermittent stream, but again, persistent baseflow has been noted over the last few months, a period during which there has been below average precipitation. u n [1 s 0 H u P L 2.2 Landuse in the watershed Figure 3 shows a 2004 color aerial photograph for the vicinity of the Twin Lakes Business Park, and the headwater areas of Long Creek, Mecklenburg County. The landcover/landuse that dominates a watershed, particularly the impervious surfaces such as roads, parking lots, and building roofs, can significantly impact a number of basic morphologic indices for natural stream channels due to the increases in storm water discharges. The most important factor is the creek dimension, which can undergo a 400% enlargement as it transitions from wooded lands to a highly urbanized landscape. However, in more recent years the larger NC urban areas have implemented storm water regulations that limit some of the impacts of the increased impervious cover accompanying development. The Twin Lakes Business Park has storm water BMP requirements for its conunercial tenants, and thus would not be expected to experience dramatic changes in bankfull channel morphologies. This catchment does, however include a portion of the North Mecklenburg High School at its northern limits, which does not have storm water BMP's in place and would generate some minor amount of increase runoff within the catclunent. The reference reach watershed is largely open land (<15% impervious) and can be considered a rural NC Piedmont watershed. This will change soon, as the outer belt is completed, and bring raise the impervious cover for the catchment to closer to 30%. On the basis of a comparison of the landuse between the two watershed, it would be expected that the reference reach would have bankfull discharges slightly lower than those of the restoration reach. 2.3 Soils and Geology of the restoration and reference reach sites Figures 4 and 5 show the soil and geologic rock types that are found in both the reference and restoration sites. A range of soil types, common in northern Mecklenburg County, are found in both watershed. These soil types are derived from the underlying igneous and metamorphic rocks composing the Charlotte Granite Belt, specifically the meta- quartz diorites and tonalites for the, restoration reach, and a mix of meta-quartz diorites and tonalites and meta-volcanic units for the reference reach. The former catchment is dominated by Cecil sandy-clay loams, the latter by Vance sandy loams. However, the reference reach lies within a small corridor of floodplain alluvial sandy clay loams (of the Monacan soils unit) that were not mapped on the Mecklenburg County Soils maps, and this provides a comparable context to the restoration reach setting where the restored stream will lie within the alluvial/lucustrian deposits of the former lake. 3. Existing Conditions in the Reach Proposed for Restoration 1 p. 2 - HARP u Figure 6 shows a planform map of the degraded reach that lies within the drained lake bottom. This was surveyed with tape and compass in November of 2005. The 416 feet proposed for restoration can be separated into two zones. The lower of the two is formed of a linear ditch that was recently enlarged and lined with rip rap to stabilize and direct water into the down stream culvert in association with the road widening project along US21 (see Photo #TL-2, Appendix A). This segment is approximately 260 feet in length. The adjacent up stream 230 feet of channel is composed of basically three linear segments without significant meanders or riffles. The remaining portions of the stream leading up to culvert under the Twin Lakes Parkway is not proposed for restoration as this area has both sonic natural meander and riffle characteristics along with riparian woody vegetation. Figure 7 shows three cross sections for the reach within the drained lake. It is clear from these sections that there is no consistency in dimension along the reach. It is also clear that the lower area lined with rip rap is over dimensioned when compared to either the reference reach data, or the NC regime data (discussed below, and presented in Tables 1- 3). Appendix B contains a series of photographs taken in the proposed restoration reach in November of 2005. The photographs show typical channel conditions within the lower 500 feet of the impacted channel. Most of the lower reach is composed of a silted-in run with no significant pools or riffles down to where the bed is lined with rip rap. .In summary, the lower 400 to 500 linear feet of channel that lies within the old pond bottom has a degraded planform, dimension, and profile and should be restored to morphologic conditions that can provide most if not all of the original functions of the stream that was situated in this location prior to the creation of the lake. A stable restoration is proposed for approximately 416 linear feet herein using a reference reach and bio-engineering approach. Reference reach information is discussed below, and is then followed by a detailed presentation of the design, stability assessment and planting plans. 4. Reference Reach Information A 380 foot long reference reach for the restoration was located on a nearby tributary of similar drainage area and physical setting (see figures 1, and 2 for location and topographic setting). The reach has both C and E Rosgen channel characteristics, and indicates long term stability of both channel grade and planform by the presence of old trees rooted along banks at stream bottom grade, as well as thick moss coverings along most outer meander bend banks (see reference reach photographs of Appendix B). The reference reach planform was mapped in detail using tape and compass and is shown in figure 8. From the planform mapping meander radii, meander belt width, meander p. 3 - HARP wavelength, and sinuosity were determined, annotated on Figure 8, and summarized in Table 1. The reference reach has a relatively high sinuosity of 1.42 (thus the Rosgen E affiliation) for a North Carolina Piedmont I 1 order tributary. The meander bends have an average radii of curvature of approximately 11 feet with an average wavelength 35 feet. The average radius of curvature (11 ft) is slightly less than 2 x the bankfull width, perhaps influenced by three of the meander bends that have trees which have inhibited meander evolution over time. Normally meander radii at morphologic equilibrium will be 2 to 2.5 x bankfull widths consistent with theoretical and empirical expectations for a stable natural channel (Newbury and Gaboury, 1993). The reference reach channel dimensions, along with bankfull indicators are shown in Figure 9 for three inflection sections, and two meander sections. Individual and average bankfull widths, depths, areas, entrenchment ratios, and W/D ratios are annotated on the figure, and average values compiled in Table 1. Four bankfull indicators were surveyed in on cross sections and averaged to obtain a mean bankfull stage for the reach. The channel has an average maximum bankfull depth of 1.13 feet, an average bankfull width of approximately 7.75 feet, an average depth of 0.78 foot, and bankfull area of 6.45 square feet. The entrenchment ratio is greater than 5.75. The dimensional data is directly applied to the design to promote sediment transport continuity and long term bank and bed stability. This is achieved by normalizing bed shear stresses throughout the corridor at the bankfull stage. The longitudinal profile for the reach was surveyed in using tape and transit level, and is shown in Figure 10. The longitudinal profile of the reference reach shows a nice pattern of alternating pools and riffles with a riffle to pool ratio of approximately Z 0.53. The ® pools are dynamically maintained by meander bends and scour zones within riffle areas ® and provide an excellent reference for re-establishing bed habitat structure in impacted reach. The average length of the riffles is z 8.8 ft, and the avereage length of the pools is z 15.25 ft. There is approximately .7 to 1 feet of water depth in the pools, and .1 ft of water depth in the riffles at low flow stage. 5. North Carolina regime data analysis •A second method of determining the likely dominant (channel forming) discharges and stable channel morphological dimensions in a given setting of the North Carolina Piedmont and Mountains is to use "regime" relationships worked out by analysis of streams that have good bankfull morphologic indicators as well as USGS gauging. This analysis has been done for both Mountain and Piedmont streams in the North Carolina Piedmont (Harmon et. al, 1999) and generated the following sets of relationships: Urban Streams (this set is in meters and kM2): Abkf= 3.11 A, '" p. 4 - HARP Rural Streams (this set is in feet and mi2): Abkf = 66.57 Aµ, 0.x9 ', J Qbkf = 5.44 A,"' Wbkf - 5.79 A,,, 0.32 Dbkf = 0.54 A,,, 0.32 In these equations, Qbkf = 18.31 A,y 0.75 Wbkf - 11.89 A,,, 0.43 Dbkf = 1.50 Aµ, 0.32 A,, = the drainage basin contributing area Abkf = cross section area of flow at the bankfull stage Qbkf = discharge at the bankfull stage Wbkf = width of the water surface at the bankfull stage Dbkf = mean depth of flow at the bankfull stage In a followup study to the urban stream analysis of Harmon et.al., 1999, Forsythe et al., 2004 reanalyzed the urban bankfull relationships to watershed area for stream located in the Charlotte metropolitan area. This latter study recorded stage and discharges directly at sections with bankfull indicators rather than by extrapolation from USGS gaging station cross sections. It also verified scaling laws within individual urban watersheds. The second study verifies the earlier conclusion that urban watersheds have adjusted (enlarged) geometries in the Piedmont of North Carolina, but indicates the earlier study over estimated the adjustments. The modified set of urban relationships (in feet and mil) is: Abkf = 45.57 A,,. 0.64 Qbkf = 169.55 A,,, 0.'0 Wbkf = 21.53 A,,, 0.29 Dbkf= 2.11 A,,, 0.35 The stream drainage areas pertaining to this project are shown in Table 2. Both the rural and urban estimates for Abkf, Qbkf, Wbkf, and Dbkf generated from the above equations are listed in this table. It should be noted that a preponderance of the data used to generate the urban curves was obtained from urban streams in Mecklenburg County. The values for bankfull discharges under rural and urban conditions are dramatically different, begging an implied history of instability as. the creeks transition from rural to urban 1 conditions within their watersheds. The differences in channel dimensions that are required to carry the increased storm flow resulting from urbanization of the watershed i create challenges in restoration efforts. Stability under current conditions and stability under future conditions potentially dictate different channel pattern and dimensional attributes. Measures are adopted in the restoration design to limit instability as the watershed undergoes future development. 6. Manning's Equation based Estimation of Banlcfull Discharge The observations of bankfull indicators within the reference reach allow the Manning p. 5 - HARP e 1 0 0 h P n Equation to be used to estimate the bankfull discharge associated with this morphologically defined stage. The surveyed estimates of cross-sectional areas, wetted perimeters, and channel slopes, along with estimated Manming's roughness coefficients, allow an average discharge calculation for the reach to be determined using Manning's Equation. The input parameters and calculated results are presented in Table 3. The estimate of Manning's roughness coefficient is somewhat subjective and brings some ambiguity into these calculations. A roughness coefficient value of .026 is adopted for the tributaries based on the depth of bankfull flow with respect to diameter of channel bed materials, the stable bed framework, and bed material sizes following concepts summarized in Arcement and Schneider, 1984. This base value is then modified for other resistance factors such as sinuosity, bank vegetation, and obstructions. To reflect reasonable variation of these parameters within the studied stream reaches, two values of roughness coefficient (.03 and .04) were used to calculate a range of discharge values. The resulting discharge estimates are shown in Table 3 and compare very favorably with the rural regime estimates (10 to 13 cfs compared to 11.3 cfs). In these tables values obtained for an additional reference reach acquired from an unnamed tributary to Back Creek a few miles to the east on the Mecklenburg-Cabarrus County line along with estimates for the proposed restored conditions at the restoration site reach are also included for comparison value. Due to the slightly high stream grade at the restoration reach the Manning equation results in bankfull discharges that are higher than those of the reference reach. This is actually a beneficial consequence as the greater extent of development in the restoration reach's contributing drainage area is anticipate to yield a higher bankfull discharge. Bankfull discharges two to three times that of a rural watershed of similar area can be accommodated if the reference reach dimensions are used in the restoration along with the average steeper stream grade of 0.014. This is still only 1/5`h of the increases represented by the urban streams used to define the urban regime conditions in watershed lacking significant storm water BMPs. 7. Reference Grain Size Information In order to understand the hydraulics that forms and maintains bed structure within the channel, an analysis of the sizes of sediment present in the reference reach channel are normally undertaken. However, due to the recent unknown potential impact of clearing and grading activities for the I-485 outerbelt on sediment transport dynamics in the primary reference reach for this restoration effort we have elected to use the sediment analysis that was performed on the other nearby UT to Back Creek reference reach (mentioned above). This reach had a slightly smaller drainage area (0.8) but similar channel dimensions, and a steeper stream slope (perhaps more comparable to the restoration site in this regards, ie., .024 versus .019) The D84 ,,,;n, D50, and D84 max- grain size values are listed in Table 1. This reference reach-based grain size data will guide the selection of any supplemental bed materials that may have to be placed into the restoration reach. p. 6 - HARP L 8. Restoration Design There are three morphologic perspectives on the relocation/restoration design, and two additional habitat and stability issues. The morphologic factors are: planform, dimension, and longitudinal profile. These are separately discussed below, and illustrated in Figures 11, 12 and 13. The bed habitat is broken down into riffle and pool areas, which are shown in pattern view on Figure 11, and in longitudinal profile in Figure 13. The sizes of bed materials are listed in Table 1. The details for bank and riparian planting is shown in Figure 15. The details for riffle/cross vane construction are shown in Figure 14. The riparian planting is separately discussed below, as is the analysis for stability. 8.1 Relocation/restoration planform Figure 11 shows a plan view of the proposed restoration. The restored creek will recover .a natural and stable radius of curvature, meander belt width and sinuosity by grading a new channel with a series of bends defined by the average design parameters listed in Table 1. Using reference reach conditions, the newly aligned and restored reach is to be broken up into riffle and pool areas by a combination of natural hydraulic action, and use of in stream structures (discussed below). The pattern of meanders will stabilize pools at the apex of the meander bend, and cross vane or sill structures at the heads or tails of riffle zones will stabilize pools in the areas between meanders. 8.2 Restoration dimension Figure 12 shows two typical cross sections for meander and inflection areas of the proposed new stream channel. Using the reference reach sections the bankfull areas as well as bankfull width and depth ratios have been adjusted to promote hydraulic and sediment transport continuity in the reach. The meander bends are restored to more appropriate cross section areas that should limit rates of aggradation on the inner point bars to values more in line with geologic rates of meander cut bank migration. The final restoration reach will have similar bankfull cross section areas and bankfull average depths as those that are typical for the reference reach areas. The stream will be graded to an average slope. The riffle material will be emplaced to create the basic riffle and pool water surfaces. Hydraulic action during the first year of flow will both excavate meander pools along the outer channel perimeter in the meander bend areas, as well as deposit sand and gravel in inner meander bend areas to form the point bars. The inner meander bend areas are purposely graded to low 4:1 slopes to provide space for the growth of inner point bars, as well as to lower bed shear stresses in order to promote sedimentation on the point bars. 8.3 Restoration profile Figure 13 shows the proposed restored longitudinal profile with water and bed elevations. p. 7 - HARP The restoration reach ties into the up and down stream channels at their existing elevations. Within the new alignment, the proposed changes in riffle and pool grades of ® the bed are to be achieved by construction of riffle and riffle-cross vane structures. These ® zones are founded with cobbles sized over the mobilization threshold diameter (discussed under stability below). 8.4 In stream structures There are only two classes of in-stream structures to be used in the restoration of this small 151 order stream. In-stream structures are un-nature features that should, as a general rule, be avoided when deemed non-essential. Due to the E channel relationship of the bankfull stage to the floodplain in the proposed restoration there should be no need for hard structures to stabilize meander bend areas. However, since the restored stream will be resting on alluvial or lake (lucustrian) deposits, it is assumed that the new bed will be founded on erodable deposits of sand, silt and clay and that incision could easily occur without some artificial grade control. To prevent incision and promote grade stability each of the riffle areas will be built with the details shown in Figure 10. The use of a base of large footer stones (underlain by non-woven filter) under each of the up stream crests of the riffle zones will inhibit incision and promote both bed and bank stability. Periodically the rock riffle sills will be augmented with cross vanes extending to the bankfull stage (floodplain in this case) Each of the riffle crests have elevations which control up stream pool water levels and also stabilize the riffle to pool ratios for the areas outside of meander bends. The average sizes of the riffle materials to be used are listed in Table 1. The base of the riffle crest is sized 1.5 to 2 x the average diameter indicated in the table to insure immobility. 8.5 Bank stabilization The banks are to be established as shown in the attached figures for cross sections and bank stabilization (Figures 12 & 15). Banks are to be 1.5:1 or lower. The base of the slopes in areas susceptible to erosion (outer banks on meander bends, and in the flank areas of riffles (without cross vane materials) are to be lined with 7 lbs/ft coconut fiber logs staked according to the directions of the manufacturer. Erosion control matting is to be place on all slopes that are cut or filled. Any soils not judged to be appropriate for plant establishment is to be amended prior to matting. Temporary herbaceous cover is to be planted in the matted areas with a riparian seed mix appropriate to the season of the work for proper germination and temporary stabilization. Then either potted plants or live stakes are to be used to establish woody riparian species along the banks to provide the root density and depth required to inhibit bank erosion. Should woody plants not be planted until the fall or winter season following channel grading, additional herbaceous cover may be needed to assure bank stability during the following spring and summer. Bank stabilization is thus achieved by a combination of factors including: bed stabilization (inhibiting undercutting of banks), use of toe protection in the early years of bank replanting (coir fiber logs), vigorous root structure within the bank, and velocity p. 8 - HARP i reduction at the water/bank interface (produced by the frictional resistance of woody vegetation growing out into the channel cross section area). t 8.6 Riparian bank & buffer planting The following outlines the planting plan for the stream restoration components of Twin Lakes project site. The plan includes a list of the types of tree and shrub species that will be used to vegetate the buffer surrounding the project as well as the vegetation that will be used to stabilize the slopes of the new stream banks. These new stream banks will be covered with matting, seeded with a temporary grass seed mixture and then live staked using native material. This covering will extend at least 1 feet beyond the top of bank. The live stakes will be planted on 18 - 24' centers, starting from the top of the coir fiber log to the top of bank. A natural buffer will be provided along both sides of the restored stream. The drained lake bottom is also being used to create two large paired bioretention cells and small ponds (the latter for passive recreational/aesthetic value) that are also shown on Figure 11. However, this still leaves a large area to conserve as a natural bottomland hardwood habitat and riparian stream buffer. All conservation and buffer areas shown on Figure 11 will be planted using tree species native to the area that have wildlife value, and are adapted for riparian and floodplain situations. All buffers are to be left in a natural state, with the exception of selective maintenance that may be needed to maintain channel and riparian habitat functions (e.g. removal of debris, invasive or diseased plants). The buffer will be planted on 8' centers and monitored such that the buffer retains at least 320 trees per acre. Refer to Table 4 for a list of live stake and tree species to be used on this reach. Tree species planted in the buffer will mimic the native tree species found in the project area, however species that are being considered include Black walnut (Juglans nigra), Sycamore Platanus occidentalis Green ash Fra t xt'? ( ), ( us pennsylvaruca), Hackberry (Celtrs laevigatus), Water oak (Quercus nigra) and Overcup oak (Q. lyrata). Bare root seedlings and possibly some 1-2 year-old potted seedlings will be used to re-vegetate or, enhance the riparian buffer area. 7. Stability Assessment Stability of the restored reach is achieved by three interdependent approaches. First, slope and dimensions are set at values that are consistent along the restoration, and yield bed shear stresses (see Table 1) that will provide transport continuity from upstream to down stream areas. In this way neither erosion nor aggradation of the bed is to be expected. Second, the reach has a series of grade control structures to prevent the bed from eroding into underlying alluvial deposits. Lastly, bank toe support and woody vegetation are designed to promote velocity reductions as well as increase erosional resistance to stream j flows. The mobility threshold for clasts in the channel can be approximated by the relationship: Tractive force (kg/m2) = incipient diameter (cm) (Newbury and Gaboury, 1993). The tractive force at the bankfull stage is 5.89 kg/m2 and is 11.78 kg/m2 at the p. 9 - HARP J r floodprone stage. This means that the D84 riffle crest material should be at least 17-18 cm in diameter (1.5 x mobility threshold diameters at floodprone stage). 8. Monitoring and Contingency Plans The proposed verification and monitoring for this stream restoration is recommended to be: 1) preparation and submittal of as built document providing constructed pattern, dimension and profile sheets that also show the location of all in stream structures, and recommended photo stations, (photo stations are to be set up for up and down stream tie in points, and each meander bend, and a photo should be 1 provided looking both up and down stream at each station), 2) field checks with archiving of photo documentation of creek conditions during first year of flow following completion of planting program after each significant storm (.5 inches of rainfall), or alternatively on a bi-monthly schedule. 3) Surveys of longitudinal profile and 3 representative cross sections 1, 3 and 5 year following completion of restoration activities. Should monitoring reveal problems either in the channel, banks, or riparian buffer areas 1 the monitoring agent is to inform property owner/manager of the problem. Property owner/manager is to seek appropriate professional advise for remedial action and implement corrective actions as soon as is practical, but the corrective actions under no circumstances should be undertaken no longer than 1 year following initial notice of the problem. Should a corrective action be undertaken in the 5"' year, or for a problem arising during the 5`1' year, the monitoring program is to be extended to provide verification of successful corrective actions for at least one bankfull event following corrective actions. 9.
