RE: Response to MY2 Draft Report Comments
Glade Creek II Mitigation Project
DMS Project # 92343
Contract Number 6843
New River Basin - #CU# 05050001 - Alleghany County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Tsomides:
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. (Wildlands) has reviewed the Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) comments
from the Draft Monitoring Year 2 report for the Glade Creek II Mitigation Project. The following Wildlands
responses to DMS's report comments are noted in italics lettering.
DMS comment; Project overview — It is stated Table 6 (post -restoration visual assessment) describes
pre -restoration conditions. Please clarify or amend.
Wildlands response; This sentences in Section 1.1 has been revised to clarify that both pre- and post -
restoration conditions are represented in Tables 4 and 6.
DMS comment; Section 1.2 — spelling correction, "follow" to "follows" (first sentence).
Wildlands response; The text in Section 1.2 was edited to correct spelling error.
DMS comment; If possible please reformat the asset totals to reflect the nearest tenth SMU (2141 to
2140.7 "R", and 26 to 25.8 "RE").
Wildlands response, In Table 1, these asset totals were reformatted to reflect the nearest tenth SMU.
DMS comment; It is suggested that dredging out the top of UT Reach 1(preservation) would help
minimize the fine sediment accumulation and active braiding. Does Wildlands feel that this segment
would not fill in again if the preservation channel were dredged out? The watershed upstream from
the UT has always been in cattle usage; how would dredging out the channel prevent further
aggradation?
Wildlands response; The sedimentation that is occurring starts at UT to Glade Creek Reach 1 in the
Restoration Reach, approximate STA 11+00, below the preservation reach. Digging out the channel is
not a long-term preventative method. The sedimentation occurring is going to be an ongoing concern
unless it is addressed at the source, upstream of the project area. Through the few years Wildlands has

been monitoring this project post -construction, we have observed the sediment deposits are being
flushed out over time with larger flows.
DMS comment; UT to Glade Creek field visit by DMS staff on 9/6/17 showed that noticeable
aggradation had developed in the UT Reach 2 restoration segment flowing through Wetland D and
downstream. Sediment accumulation is described as occurring around STA 11+00 (preservation reach)
but not mentioned along Reach 2. Was the sedimentation across the entire UT (Reaches 1 and 2)
observed? If so, is it all reflected in the 100 LF noted in the visual assessment table for the UP
Wildlands response; Wildlands conducted a final CCPV site walk on December 4, 2017 and did not
observe the sediment accumulation along UT1 Reach 2 as noted above from the DMS site walk in
September. A large rain event was recorded for the area in October (11" rainfall) that could have flushed
out the sediment in the lower portion of UT1 noted by DMS. Wildlands will plan to monitor this area
closely during subsequent site visits and will report any adjustments noted on site.
DMS comment; It is noted in the summary section that UT to Glade is not flowing properly due to the
sediment and vegetation in the channel. The preservation reach was noted in the narrative, however
much of the restoration reach (STA 11+29 to 14+48) showed excessive sediment accumulation during
the DMS visit. Aerials do not show recent upstream logging as of October 2016, and cattle have
always been present upstream of this reach. Has Wildlands observed upstream logging or new
impacts other than cattle that might be a sediment source?
Wildlands response; As stated in the previous DMS comment, Wildlands did not observe sedimentation in
the some locations as DMS. This is most likely due to larger rainfall events occurring between site visits.
Wildlands observed sediment deposition in the UT to Glade Creek Reach 1 restoration reach, not the
preservation reach. During the MY2 site assessments, Wildlands observed construction equipment (i.e.
bull dozer) on multiple occasions upstream of the project easement, but it is unclear what land
management activities were being conducted.
DMS comment; Would Wildlands recommend dredging out the restoration UT channel as a long-term
adaptive management solution or would the channel just fill in again because of the lack of adequate
gradient and orientation through a restored wetland? As both the project designer and monitor,
please provide more information on the long-term viability of any management actions along the
entire length of the UT so DMS can make informed decisions about any potential adaptive
management.
Wildlands response; Wildlands believes we can temporarily improve stream function on UT to Glade
Creek by hand removing the sediment that appears to be coming from erosion in the upstream pasture
and by hand removing the existing herbaceous vegetation. Together, these factors are forcing water
onto the adjacent wetland/floodplain and bypassing the channel. Wildlands cannot guarantee that this
is a long-term solution, but rather a jump start to improve channel function while the riparian vegetation
matures. Most likely as the planted trees continue to grow, they will provide shade and instream
vegetation will not be able grow as readily. The sedimentation that is occurring is going to be an
ongoing concern unless it is addressed at the source, upstream of the project area. Through the few
years Wildlands has been observing this project post -construction, we have observed the sediment
deposits are being flushed out overtime with larger flows. Wildlands will continue to monitor the
deposition and inform DMS of any changes.

DMS comment; Visual assessment for UT - calculation for stable percent should be 78% not 88%,
based on 100 LF impacted out of 448 LF assessed. Please clarify or correct.
Wildlands response; Table 6b has been updated to show 78% of the channel is stable.
DMS comment; Stationing on maps for the UT (0+00 to 3+45, starting at the restoration reach) do not
match stationing numbering with the asset table (10+00 to 14+48 starting at the preservation reach); in
addition, Reaches 1 and 2 on the CCPV figures appear incorrectly labelled (fig. 3) or unclear (fig. 2).
Please clarify or correct.
Wildlands response; Wildlands has revised both the Asset Table 1 and the figures stationing to accurately
represent the reaches on UT to Glade Creek.
DMS comment; Changing the vertical scaling on the longitudinal profile for the Ut would help show
more subtle changes in the profiles.
Wildlands response; Longitudinal profile vertical scaling has been revised for UT to Glade Creek as
requested above.
DMS comment; Table 10 (CVS table) should be printed landscape or on a larger fold out sheet.
Wildlands response; Table 10 has been printed in landscape layout in the final submittal.
DMS comment; It would be helpful in future reports to have a wrack line photo or two to accompany
the bankfull events table, especially for smaller reaches (Ut).
Wildlands response; When possible, Wildlands will include wrack line photo(s) in future reports to
accompany the bankfull event table.
DMS comment; Long -pro plot for the UT appears upside down in the hard copy. Please make sure any
printed copy graphs and pages read right side up when printed.
Wildlands response; Hard copies of the Final Monitoring Report will be corrected for this issue.
Enclosed please find four (4) hard copies and one (1) electronic copy on CD of the Final Monitoring
Report. Please contact me at 704-332-7754 x110 if you have any questions.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. (Wildlands) completed design and construction management on a design -
bid -build project at the Glade Creek II Restoration Site (Site) for the North Carolina Division of Mitigation
Services (DMS) in Alleghany County, NC. The project components included restoring and enhancing
2,579 linear feet (LF) and preserving 129 LF of perennial stream, restoring 0.16 acre of wetlands, and
preserving 0.84 acre of existing wetland. Riparian buffers were also established by removing exotic
invasive plants and installing a variety of native vegetation. The Site is expected to generate 2,167
stream mitigation units (SMUs) and 0.33 wetland mitigation units (WMUs) for the Glade Creek
watershed (Table 1). The Site is located off US Highway 21 in the northern portion of Alleghany County,
NC in the New River Basin, eight -digit Cataloging Unit (CU) 05050001 and the 14 -digit Hydrologic Unit
Code (HUC) 05050001030020 (Figure 1). The project streams consist of one unnamed tributary, UT to
Glade Creek, and two reaches along Glade Creek mainstem (Reach 1 and Reach 2) (Figure 2). Glade
Creek flows into the Little River 4 miles northeast of the Site near Fox Trot Lane in the Town of Hooker,
Alleghany County. The land adjacent to the streams and wetlands is primarily maintained for forestry
production of White Pine trees.
The Glade Creek II Restoration Project is located within a DMS Targeted Local Watershed (TLW) (Brush
Creek, HUC 05050001030020, as documented within the 2009 River Basin Restoration Priorities (RBRP)
for the New River Basin. Furthermore, the project site is located within a priority subwatershed for
stream and wetland restoration (and habitat protection), Middle Glade Creek, as identified within 2006
Local Watershed Plan and Preliminary Project Atlas for Little River and Brush Creek. Primary stressors
within the Brush Creek TLW and the Middle Glade Creek subwatershed include stream channelization,
livestock access, degraded riparian buffers, and Christmas tree farming. Glade Creek is also classified as
trout water and the project will help improve trout habitat in the watershed.
The project goals established in the mitigation plan addendum (Confluence, 2013) were completed with
careful consideration of goals and objectives described in the RBRP and to address stressors identified in
the LWP. The following project goals established include:
• Improve water quality by repairing eroding stream banks and establishing riparian buffers;
• Improve the community structure of the buffers;
• Improve stream function and habitat by re-establishing stream -to -floodplain connections;
• Restore long-term stability through the restoration of channel dimension, pattern and profile;
• Improve in -stream habitat using in -stream structures; and
• Remove exotic invasive plant species.
The Site construction was completed between December 2015 and April 2016. Planting was completed
in February 2016. The as -built survey was completed in January 2016 with Monitoring Year 0 beginning
in May 2016. Storm repairs prior to project closeout were completed in April 2016. Monitoring Year 2
(MY2) activities occurred between May and November 2017. MY2 profiles closely match the design
parameters. Cross-section widths and pool depths slightly exceed design parameters, but are within a
normal range of variability. The Site's overall average planted stem density of 580 stems/acres exceeds
the interim vegetation success criterion of 320 stems/acres for MY3. Hydrologic success criteria was
achieved for MY2 in the groundwater gage (GWG), and at least one bankfull event occurred on all
monitored reaches. The Site has fully met the hydrological success criteria since bankfull events were
also documented during MY1.

Section 1: PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Site is a design -bid -build contract with DMS in Alleghany County, NC. The Site is located in the New
River Basin, eight -digit Cataloging Unit (CU) 05050001 and the 14 -digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC)
05050001030020 (Figure 1). Located in the Blue Ridge Belt (USGS,2016), Blue Ridge physiographic
province, the project watershed includes primarily agricultural and forest land uses. The drainage area
for the project site is 8.0 square miles.
The project stream reaches consist of Glade Creek and UT to Glade Creek (stream restoration). The
project wetland areas consist of restoration and preservation (Wetlands A -D). Mitigation work within
the Site included restoring and enhancing 2,579 linear feet (LF) and preserving 129 LF of perennial
stream, restoring 0.16 acre of wetlands, and preserving 0.84 acre of existing wetland and proposes the
generation of 2,167 SMUs and 0.33 WMUs. The stream and wetland areas were planted with native
vegetation to improve habitat and protect water quality. Construction activities were completed by
Carolina Environmental, Inc. in December 2015. Storm repairs prior to project closeout were completed
in April 2016. Turner Land Surveying completed the as -built survey in January 2016 and the storm
repairs were judged to have not resulted in changes that would warrant a revised as -built survey. The
Site is located on a tract of land owned by the Sharon W. Beck. A 12.8 -acre conservation easement on
the tract was purchased in 2008 by the State of North Carolina and was recorded with Alleghany County
Register of Deeds. The conservation easement protects the project area in perpetuity. Appendix 1
includes detailed project activity, history, contact information, and watershed/site background
information. Directions and a map of the Site are provided in Figure 1 and project components are
illustrated for the Site in Figure 2. Please refer to the Project Component Map (Figure 2) for the stream
and wetland features and to Table 1 for the project component and mitigation credit information for the
Site.
1.1 Project Goals and Objectives
Prior to construction, the streams had been impacted by historic agricultural practices, silviculture and
valley filling. In addition, there was widespread bank erosion, especially along the outside meander
bends, and mid -channel deposition. The wetlands had been impacted by vegetation clearing, exotic
invasive plant species, and the valley fill buried hydric soils. Table 4 in Appendix 1 and Tables 6a and 6b
in Appendix 2 present the pre- and post -restoration conditions in detail.
This mitigation site is intended to provide numerous ecological benefits within the New River Basin and
addresses habitat degradation, which is the primary water quality stressor described in the New River
Basin Restoration Priorities Plan (2009). While many of the benefits are limited to the immediate project
area, others, such as pollutant removal, reduced sediment loading, and improved aquatic and terrestrial
habitat, have farther -reaching effects. Expected improvements to water quality and ecological processes
are outlined below as project goals and objectives. These project goals were met by giving careful
consideration to the goals and objectives described in the RBRP.
The project specific goals of the Glade Creek II Restoration Site included the following:
• Improve water quality by repairing eroding stream banks and establishing riparian buffers;
• Improve the community structure of the buffers;
• Improve stream function and habitat by re-establishing stream -to -floodplain connections;
• Restore long-term stability through the restoration of channel dimension, pattern and profile;
• Improve in -stream habitat using in -stream structures; and
• Remove exotic invasive plant species.
Glade Creek II Restoration Project
Monitoring Year 2 Annual Report— FINAL 1-1
The project objectives have been defined as follows:
• Restoration and enhancement of approximately 2260 LF of Glade Creek;
• Restoration of 319 LF of the UT to Glade Creek;
• Preservation of 129 LF of UT to Glade Creek;
• Restoration of 0.16 acre of wetland by improving hydrologic connections;
• Preservation of 0.84 acre of existing jurisdictional wetland; and
• Establishment of riparian buffers by removing exotic invasive plants and installing a variety of
native vegetation.
The stream and wetland performance criteria for the Site follow approved performance standards
presented in the Glade Creek II Restoration Plan (December 2008). Annual monitoring and semi-annual
site visits will be conducted to assess the condition of the finished project. The stream restoration and
enhancement reaches (Glade Creek and UT to Glade Creek) of the project were assigned specific
performance standards for stream morphology, hydrology, and vegetation. Wetland
restoration areas were assigned specific performance standards for wetland hydrology, and vegetation.
The Glade Creek Stream Restoration Project was instituted prior to 7/28/2010; therefore, the Site will be
monitored for five years post -construction.
1.2 Monitoring Year 2 Data Assessment
Annual monitoring was conducted between May and November 2017 to assess the condition of the
project. The stream restoration success criteria for the Site follows the approved monitoring plan
presented in the Glade Creek II Restoration Plan (Ward, 2008).
1.2.1 Vegetation Assessment
Planted woody vegetation is being monitored in accordance with the guidelines and procedures
developed by the Carolina Vegetation Survey-NCEEP Level 2 Protocol (Lee et al., 2008). A total of six
vegetation monitoring plots were established during the baseline monitoring within the project
easement areas using a standard 10 by 10 meter plot. The final vegetation success criterion will be the
survival of 260 planted stems per acre in the riparian corridor along restored and enhanced reaches at
the end of year five of the monitoring period. The interim measure of vegetation success for the Site is
the survival of at least 320 planted stems per acre at the end of year three of the monitoring period.
Please refer to Figure 3 in Appendix 2 for the vegetation monitoring locations.
The MY2 vegetation survey was completed in September 2017, resulting in an average planted stem
density of 580 stems per acre. The Site has met the interim requirement of 320 stems per acre, with 5 of
the 6 plots (83%) individually meeting this requirement. The average stem height is 2.8 feet and
approximately 90% of the planted stems have a health score (vigor) of 2 or greater. However, 50% of
these stems have a vigor of 2; whereas in MY1, 50% of the stems had a vigor of 4. The increase in poor
health is a result of dry soil conditions, insects and suffocation. Vegetation monitoring plot 1 contains
only 6 stems, resulting in a density of 243 stems per acre; whereas plot 3 contains 22 stems with a
density of 809 stems per acre. Please refer to Appendix 2 for vegetation plot photographs and Appendix
3 for vegetation data tables.
1.2.2 Vegetation Areas of Concern
The MY2 vegetation monitoring and visual assessment revealed few vegetation areas of concern. Small
patches (approximately 6.3%) of bare or poor herbaceous cover in the riparian area of Glade Creek
Reach 1 and 2 were observed. Supplemental planting is recommended in vegetation plot 1 and
throughout the entire Site since the overall vigor of planted and surrounding stems have declined. Refer
to Figure 3 in Appendix 2.
Glade Creek II Restoration Project
Monitoring Year 2 Annual Report— FINAL 1-2
1.2.3 Stream Assessment
Morphological surveys for MY2 were conducted in May 2017. Results indicate that the channel
dimensions are stable and functioning as designed. However, the Glade Creek cross-section widths and
pools depths have slightly increased compared to MY1; whereas, UT to Glade Creek cross-section
dimensions are relatively the same as MY1. In general, the substrate material within Glade Creek
remained the same as MY1; however, the D50 for UT to Glade Creek changed between MY1 and MY2.
The UT to Glade Creek reachwide material resulted in sand (0.8mm) during MY2 versus gravel material
(11.9mm) during MY1. The material in cross-section 5 resulted in a Dso of 0.7mm (sand) during MY2
whereas MY1 reflected a coarser gravel of 22.6.
The surveyed longitudinal profile data for the project streams illustrates that bedform features are
maintaining lateral and vertical stability. The longitudinal profiles on Glade Creek and UT to Glade Creek
showed slight change from MY1 in slope (riffle, water surface, bankfull) and pool -to -pool spacing. The
overall pattern of all project streams remained the same compared to the baseline data. Refer to
Appendix 2 for the visual stability assessment table and the CCPV map. Refer to Appendix 4 for the
morphological summary data and plots.
1.2.4 Stream Areas of Concern
UT to Glade Creek has experienced an increase in fine sediment throughout MY2. Approximately 6-8" of
sediment deposition has accumulated and is impeding the flow beginning at station 11+00 for
approximately 100 LF. As a result, the water has formed a braided system on the floodplain and the
pool located at the first step structure around station 11+00 has filled with sediment, leaving little pool
habitat. Land management activities upstream of the project easement are most likely contributing to
the sedimentation on UT to Glade Creek; however, cattle activity adjacent to the beginning of UT Reach
1 was observed during MY2 site visits and could be attributing to the sediment flux observed. A fallen
pine tree was also noted on UT to Glade Creek. The tree is currently crossing the channel; however, it is
not currently affecting the stream flow. The limbs are holding the tree off the ground but once the
limbs decay and break, the tree will most likely create a barrier within the channel.
There are a few areas of minor scour and erosion along Glade Creek. The brush mattress around station
18+00 has been displaced; therefore, exposing the bank and minor scouring has occurred. In addition,
the left bank between stations 23+00 and 25+00 are showing signs of scour under the brush mattress
and behind the boulders.
Minor adaptive management is recommended along UT to Glade Creek and Glade Creek. Within the
upstream section of UT to Glade Creek Reach 1, hand removal of the sediment deposit and hand
removal of the herbaceous material within the channel are recommended to temporarily improve
stream function and reduce the active braiding. Where the tree has fallen across the UT to Glade Creek,
removal of the fallen tree is recommended to prevent future blockage. Wildlands recommends
replacing the brush mattresses on Glade Creek where bank erosion is occurring, and the brush mattress
is no longer intact with the bank. Adding live stakes on the left bank between stations 23+00 and 25+00
is also recommended for bank stabilization.
1.2.5 Hydrology Assessment
At least one bankfull event occurred on all reaches during the MY2 data collection, which was recorded
on crest gages and by visual indicators. Two bankfull flow events must be documented on the
restoration reaches within the five-year monitoring period. The two bankfull events must occur in
separate years. A bankfull event was also recorded during MY1; therefore, the Site has met the bankfull
success criteria for the project. Refer to Appendix 5 for hydrologic data and graphs.
Glade Creek II Restoration Project
Monitoring Year 2 Annual Report— FINAL 1-3
1.2.6 Wetland Assessment
One groundwater monitoring gage (GWG 1) was established during the baseline monitoring within the
restoration area using logging hydrology pressure transducers. The gage was installed at an appropriate
location so that the data collected will provide an indication of groundwater levels throughout the
wetland restoration area. The target performance standard for wetland hydrology success consists of
groundwater surface within 12 inches of the ground surface for 21 consecutive days (12.5%) of the
defined 168 day growing season for Alleghany County (April 26th to October 111h) under typical
precipitation conditions. The Site does not contain a rainfall gage; therefore, the daily precipitation data
was collected from closest NC CRONOS Station, Glade Valley 3.0 ENE. The GWG 1 recorded 169
consecutive days (100%), meeting the performance standard for MY2. According to the climate data
from nearby NC CRONOS station, the Site received less than typical amounts of rain in 2017; however,
October received a substantial amount of rainfall. Please refer to Appendix 2 for the groundwater gage
locations and Appendix 5 for groundwater hydrology data and plots.
1.2.7 Wetland Areas of Concern
Currently there are no wetland areas of concerns.
1.3 Monitoring Year 2 Summary
Glade Creek appears stable and functioning as designed; however, UT to Glade Creek is not flowing
properly due to the sediment and vegetation in the channel. The average planted stem density (580
stems per acre) is currently on track to meet the MY3 success criterion. Only one plot does not meet
the interim success criterion as noted in CCPV. The Site's groundwater gage met the performance
standard for MY2 and the bankfull performance standard has been met for the project. The Site has
fully met the bankfull hydrological success criteria since bankfull events were also documented during
MY1. Some minor adaptive management would be beneficial to the Site. The areas of concern appear
minor, but repairs and maintenance of these areas would benefit the Site long term and decrease
additional impacts to the project.
Summary information and data related to the performance of various project and monitoring elements
can be found in the tables and figures in the report appendices. Narrative background and supporting
information formerly found in these annual monitoring reports can be found in the Mitigation Plan
documents available on DMS's website. All raw data supporting the tables and figures in the appendices
are available from DMS upon request.

Section 2: METHODOLOGY
Geomorphic data was collected following the standards outlined in The Stream Channel Reference Site:
An Illustrated Guide to Field Techniques (Harrelson et al., 1994) and in the Stream Restoration: A Natural
Channel Design Handbook (Doll et al., 2003). Longitudinal and cross-sectional data were collected using
a total station and were georeferenced. All Integrated Current Condition Plan View mapping was
recorded using a Trimble handheld GPS with sub -meter accuracy and processed using was Pathfinder
and ArcView. Crest gages were installed in surveyed riffle cross-sections and monitored quarterly.
Hydrology attainment installation and monitoring methods are in accordance with the USACE (2003)
standards. Vegetation monitoring protocols followed the Carolina Vegetation Survey-NCEEP Level 2
Protocol (Lee et al., 2008).
