Yadkin Pee -Dee River Basin — CU# 03040105; Union County, NC
Dear Mr. Tsomides:
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. (Wildlands) has reviewed the Division of Mitigation Services (DMS)
comments and observations from the Crooked Creek II Mitigation Site Draft Year 3 Monitoring Report.
The following are Wildlands responses to your comments and observations from the report noted in
italics lettering.
DMS Comment; Cover Page - Please add the DEQ Contract Number for post -construction site
monitoring (6617). The contract number listed (D091326S) is for the construction and not necessary to
list.
Wildlands Response; Wildlands updated the cover page to reflect the DEQ contract number (6617).
DMS Comment; Section 1.2.1 — Discussion includes warranty plots as meeting interim success
criteria; however warranty plots are performed for DMS to evaluate planting contract work
separately, not subject to performance monitoring, and therefore should not be included. As a
reminder, warranty counts for 2019 (MY04) are not part of Wildlands' monitoring contract.
Wildlands Response; Wildlands omitted the last sentence regarding the warranty plots.
DMS Comment; Section 1.2.2 — Please indicate that Carolina Silvics has performed additional invasive
removal work since Wildlands' MY03 assessment.
Wildlands Response; Wildlands included the requested verbiage.

E N G I N E E R I N G
DMS Comment; Section 1.3 — Please summarize that the MY03 asset reductions were the result of
one-sided easement sections at the upper and lower ends of crooked Creek, and a powerline ROW at
the upper end of UTI, which had not been adjusted at the as -built stage.
Wildlands Response; Wildlands included the requested verbiage in Section 1.3.
DMS Comment; Table 1 (assets) Crooked Creek Reaches A and a "Restoration Footage/Acres" should
reflect the assets now being generated (1335 and 2123, respectively).
Wildlands Response; Wildlands updated Table 1 to reflect the correct assets.
DMS Comment; Stream Credits should be reported to the nearest tenth, not thousandth.
Wildlands Response; Wildlands updated the stream credits to the nearest tenth.
DMS Comment; Credits column for Crooked Reach B should be 849.2, not 849.000.
Wildlands Response; Wildlands updated the credits with the correct amount.
DMS Comment; I am calculating Credits summation to be 3,242.2, not 3,442.600. Please verify and
correct if necessary.
Wildlands Response; Wildlands corrected the Crooked Creek stationing which corrected the credit
summation as 3,242.20.
DMS Comment; Please add footnote to indicate UT1 crediting starts at the outer edge of the
powerline ROW along Highway 218; Crooked Creek assets have been reduced to account for one-
sided easement sections at upstream and downstream ends.
Wildlands Response; Wildlands added a footnote to Table 1 with the requested verbiage.
DMS Comment; CCPVs — If possible, please improve the report format/readability as follows:
Use a stream centerline for Crooked Creek and UT2; the widened orange colors do not accurately
represent the stream width; for example, sections of UT appear to be 50 feet wide.
Wildlands Response; Wildlands updated the CCPV maps by inserting a stream centerline for Crooked
Creek and UT2.
DMS Comment Add station numbering for Crooked Creek and UT2.
Wildlands Response; Wildlands added station numbers for Crooked Creek and UT2.
DMS Comment Combine Sheets 1 and 2; and sheets 3,4,5; typically a project this size should not have
6 CCPVs to clearly depict monitoring features.
Wildlands Response; Wildlands combined the CCPV maps as requested.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. (Wildlands) completed a design bid build project at the Crooked Creek #2
Mitigation Site (Site) for the North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) to restore and enhance
5,599 linear feet (LF) of perennial streams, enhance 1.0 acre of existing wetlands, restore and create
10.5 acres of wetlands, and restore and enhance 70,936 square feet (SF) of riparian buffer in Union
County, NC. The Site is expected to generate 3,242.600 stream mitigation units (SMUs), 8.400 wetland
mitigation units (WMUs), and 1.24 buffer mitigation units (BMU) for the Goose Creek watershed (Table
1). The Site is located off NC Highway 218 in the northern portion of Union County, NC in the Yadkin
Pee -Dee River Basin; eight -digit Cataloging Unit (CU) 03040105 and the 14 -digit Hydrologic Unit Code
(HUC) 03040105040010 (Figure 1). The project streams consist of two unnamed tributaries (UT) to
Crooked Creek, UT1 and UT2, and two reaches of the Crooked Creek mainstem (Reach A and Reach B)
(Figure 2). Crooked Creek flows into the Rocky River 4 miles northeast of the site near Love Mill Road at
the Stanly County line. The adjacent land to the streams and wetlands is primarily maintained for
agricultural and residential uses.
The Site is within a Targeted Local Watershed (TLW) in the Lower Yadkin Pee -Dee River Basin
Restoration Priority Plan (RBRP) (NCEEP, 2009). The Site is also located within the Goose Creek and
Crooked Creek Local Watershed Plan (LWP). The final watershed management plan (WMP) for Goose
Creek and Crooked Creek was completed in July 2012 (NCEEP, 2012). The stressors to watershed
function identified in the WMP were sediment pollution and increases in peak stream flows resulting in
impairments to aquatic habitat and aquatic life. Stream enhancement and restoration were identified as
the best management opportunities to offset these impacts. Other stressors identified included
nonpoint source runoff, degraded terrestrial habitat, and disconnected floodplains. Wetland
enhancement and restoration was also identified as a best management opportunity to offset impacts
related to these stressors. The wetland portion of the project was identified as a specific priority in the
Project Atlas that accompanies the 2012 WMP.
The project goals established in the mitigation plan (Wildlands, 2013) were completed with careful
consideration of goals and objectives that were described in the RBRP and to address stressors
identified in the LWP. The following project goals established include:
• Improve wetland hydrologic connectivity;
• Decrease sediment input into stream;
• Create appropriate terrestrial habitat;
• Decrease water temperature and increase dissolved oxygen concentrations; and
• Decrease nutrient and adverse chemical levels.
The Site construction and as -built survey was completed in 2015. Planting and baseline monitoring
activities occurred in January and February 2016. Monitoring Year (MY) 3 assessments were completed
between April and November 2018, to assess the conditions of the site. The average stem density for
the Site is 567 stems per acre and is therefore on track to meet the interim Year 5 requirement of 260
stems per acres. A supplemental planting of 1800 containerized 1 -to 3 -gallon stems were installed
January 10,2018 by Carolina Silvics throughout 7.3 acres. Cross-section dimensions appear stable and
functioning as designed. Groundwater hydrologic success criteria was achieved in four of the 10
groundwater monitoring gages. At least one bankfull event occurred on all monitored reaches;
however, the success criteria for the project had been met in MY2.

Monitoring Year 3 Annual Report — FINAL
Section 1: PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Crooked Creek #2 Mitigation Site (Site) is located in the Yadkin Pee -Dee River Basin; eight -digit
Cataloging Unit (CU) 03040105 and the 14 -digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03040105040010 (Figure 1).
The Site is located off NC Highway 218 in the northern portion of Union County, NC (Figure 1). Located in
the Carolina Slate Belt of the Piedmont Physiographic Province (USGS, 1998), the project watershed
includes primarily agricultural forested and developed land. The drainage area for the project site is
24,619 acres.
The project streams consist of Crooked Creek and two UTs to Crooked Creek; UT1 and UT2. Stream
restoration consists of UT1 and Stream Enhancement consist of UT2 and Crooked Creek.
The Site is within a Targeted Local Watershed (TLW) in the Lower Yadkin Pee -Dee River Basin
Restoration Priority Plan (RBRP) (NCEEP, 2009). The Site is also located within the Goose Creek and
Crooked Creek Local Watershed Plan (LWP). The final watershed management plan (WMP) for Goose
Creek and Crooked Creek was completed in July 2012 (NCEEP, 2012). The stressors to watershed
function identified in the WMP were sediment pollution and increases in peak stream flows resulting in
impairments to aquatic habitat and aquatic life. Stream enhancement and restoration were identified as
the best management opportunities to offset these impacts. Other stressors identified included
nonpoint source runoff, degraded terrestrial habitat, and disconnected floodplains. Wetland
enhancement and restoration was also identified as a best management opportunity to offset impacts
related to these stressors. The wetland portion of the project was identified as a specific priority in the
Project Atlas that accompanies the 2012 WMP.
Prior to construction activities, the streams on the Site had been channelized and the adjacent
floodplain wetland areas had been cleared and ditched to provide drainage for surrounding pasture.
These land use activities resulted in bank instability due to erosion and livestock access, lack of riparian
buffer, and altered hydrology. Stream Incision, lateral erosion, and widening also resulted in degraded
aquatic and benthic habitat, reduction in quality and acreage of riparian wetlands, and lowered
dissolved oxygen levels in the stream. Table 4 in Appendix 1 and Table 6 in Appendix 2 present the post -
restoration conditions in more detail.
1.1 Project Goals and Objectives
This mitigation site is intended to provide numerous ecological benefits within the Yadkin Pee -Dee River
Basin. While many of these benefits are limited to the Crooked Creek 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.
The project goals established in the mitigation plan (Wildlands, 2013) were completed with careful
consideration of goals and objectives that were described in the RBRP and to address stressors
identified in the LWP. The following project goals established include:
• Improve wetland hydrologic connectivity;
• Decrease sediment input into stream;
• Create appropriate terrestrial habitat;
• Decrease water temperature and increase dissolved oxygen concentrations; and
• Decrease nutrient and adverse chemical levels.
Crooked Creek #2 Restoration Project
Monitoring Year 3 Annual Report— FINAL 1-1
The project objectives have been defined as follows:
• Construct stream channels that will remain relatively stable over time and adequately transport
their sediment loads without significant erosion or aggradation;
• Construct stream channels that maintain riffles with coarse bed material and pools with finer
bed material;
• Provide aquatic and benthic habitat diversity in the form of pools, riffles, woody debris, and in -
stream structures;
• Add riffle features and structures and riparian vegetation to decrease water temperatures and
increased dissolved oxygen to improve water quality;
• Construct stream reaches so that floodplains and wetlands are frequently flooded to provide
energy dissipation, detain and treat flood flows, and create a more natural hydrologic regime;
• Construct fencing to keep livestock out of the streams;
• Raise local groundwater table through raising stream beds and plugging agricultural drainage
features;
• Perform minor grading in wetland areas as necessary to promote wetland hydrology; and
Plant native tree species to establish appropriate wetland and floodplain communities and
retain existing, native trees where possible.
1.2 Monitoring Year 3 Data Assessment
Annual monitoring was conducted between April and October 2018 to assess the condition of the
project. The stream restoration success criteria for the Site follows the approved success criteria
presented in the Crooked Creek #2 Project Mitigation Plan (Wildlands, 2013).
1.2.1 Vegetation Assessment
A total of 12 vegetation plots were established during the baseline monitoring within the project
easement areas. All of the plots were installed using a standard 10 meter by 10 meter plot. The final
vegetative success criteria will be the survival of 210 planted stems per acre in the riparian corridor
along restored and enhanced reaches at the end of the seven year monitoring period (MY7). The interim
measure of vegetative success for the Site will be the survival of at least 320 planted stems per acre at
the end of year three of the monitoring period (MY3) and at least 260 stems per acre at the end of the
fifth year of monitoring (MY5). Planted vegetation must average 10 feet in height in each plot at the end
of the seventh year of monitoring. If this performance standard is met by MY5 and stem density is
trending towards success (i.e., no less than 260 five year old stems/acre), monitoring of vegetation on
the Site may be terminated provided written approval is provided by the United States Army Corps of
Engineers in consultation with the NC Interagency Review Team.
The MY3 vegetation survey was completed in August 2018 which included supplemental stems. Due to
poor stem density and stem mortality from the MY2 vegetation assessment, it was determined that a
supplemental planting was warranted for the Site. On January 10, 2018, Carolina Silvics installed 1800
containerized, 1- to 3- gallon stems throughout 7.3 acres of the Site, which yields 247 stems/acre. The
additional supplemental plantings also included the 12 permanent vegetation plots, which is 0.3 acres of
the total planted 7.3 acres. A total of 88 supplemental stems were planted within the 0.3 acres; yielding
293 stems/acre or 7 new stems/plot. The MY3 vegetation plot survey resulted in an average stem
density of 567 stems/acre. All 12 individual vegetation plots meet the interim requirement of 320
stems/acre for MY3, with an average of 14 stems per plot. The MY3 average stem height is 5.9 feet.
Dense herbaceous coverage continues to impact the planted stem health. The poor vigor is mainly
caused by suffocation and vine strangulation, which are affecting the stem growth in several plots.
Crooked Creek #2 Restoration Project
Monitoring Year 3 Annual Report— FINAL 1-2
Please refer to Appendix 2 for vegetation plot photographs and the vegetation condition assessment
table and Appendix 3 for vegetation data tables.
1.2.2 Vegetation Areas of Concern
The presence of invasive plant species continues to be prevalent throughout the Site, particularly along
the conservation easement fence line and along Crooked Creek Reach A and B. Chinese privet
(Ligustrum sinense) has re -sprouted. The invasive vine species, such as Chinese lantern (Physalis spp.),
Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), and morning glory (Ipomoea sp.), continue to impact the
stem growth within the Site, especially near vegetation plots 10 and 11. The vine species are hindering
the growth rate of the oak (Quercus sp.) trees in vegetation plot 11 by not allowing the stems to grow
upright. Other invasive species noted throughout the Site include Chinaberry (Melia azedarach) and
Johnson grass (Sorghum halepense). The native invasive species, cattail (Typha latifolia) is established in
UT1 and continues to colonize in Vegetation Plot 5. This may also be impacting planted woody stem
survival in vegetation plot 5, along with the dense herbaceous coverage of rice cutgrass (Leersia
oryzoides). Invasive herbicide treatments have been conducted and will need to continue through
closeout to enable the planted stems to grow within the Site. Carolina Silvics is now under contract for
ongoing removal work and treatment of invasive species. Carolina Silvics has performed additional
invasive removal work since Wildlands' MY3 assessment. Refer to Appendix 2 for the vegetation
condition assessment table and Integrated Current Condition Plan View (CCPV).
1.2.3 Stream Assessment
MY3 Morphological surveys were conducted in April 2018. Results indicate that the channel dimensions
are stable and functioning as designed. In general, the cross-sections on UT1 show little to no change in
the bankfull area, maximum depth ratio, or width -to -depth ratio compared to baseline. Surveyed riffle
cross-sections continue to fall within the parameters defined for channels of the appropriate Rosgen
stream type (Rosgen, 1996). Refer to Appendix 2 for the visual stability assessment table, CCPV map,
and stream photographs. Refer to Appendix 4 for the morphological summary data and plots.
1.2.4 Stream Areas of Concern
As mentioned in prior monitoring reports, the UT1 streambed continues to be inundated with dense
herbaceous vegetation and now contains sections of cattail. This instream vegetation has created large
debris jams of urban litter, which is hindering normal baseflow conditions and sediment transport
process. The MY3 pebble count data indicates that UT1 has illustrated an increase in fine sediment
deposition from base line. Refer to Appendix 2 for the visual assessment.
1.2.5 Hydrology Assessment
At least one bankfull event occurred on all reaches during the MY3 data collection, with the UT1 stream
gage documenting multiple bankfull events. Following the hurricane events, the crest gage on Crooked
Creek is missing; however, wrack lines were observed. A bankfull event was documented by
photographs on November 5, 2018 during a Site visit. The success criteria of two bankfull events in
separate years within the seven-year monitoring period was met during MY2. The stream gage located
on UT1 recorded 103 consecutive days of baseflow. The stream gage is not part of the requirement for
project success. Refer to Appendix 5 for hydrologic data and graphs.
1.2.6 Wetland Assessment
Ten groundwater monitoring gages (GWG 1-10) were installed during the baseline monitoring so that
the data collected will provide an indication of groundwater levels throughout the wetland areas. The
target performance criteria for wetland hydrology success consists of groundwater surface within 12
Crooked Creek #2 Restoration Project
Monitoring Year 3 Annual Report— FINAL 1-3
inches of the ground surface for 17 consecutive days (7.5 percent) of the defined 227 day growing
season for Union County (March 23 through November 4) under typical precipitation conditions.
Four of the 10 gages (GWG 3, and GWGs 6-8) met the performance criteria for MY3, which is one more
gage from MY2. GWG 3 met criteria with 29 consecutive days (13%), GWG 6 met criteria for 88
consecutive days (39%), GWGs 7 and 8 recorded 45 consecutive days (20%). The rain data obtained
from a nearby USGS station indicates an average of three inches of rainfall per month from January to
August; however, June and July averaged one inch each. During the hurricane events, there was
average of 7.7 inches of rainfall in September and October. With normal precipitation during the
upcoming winter, in addition to the recent large rain events, the wetlands may continue recharging and
meet hydrologic success criteria in the upcoming monitoring years. Refer to Appendix 5 for the
groundwater hydrology data and plots.
1.2.7 Wetland Areas of Concern
The headcut located in the Wetland Creation Zone B area, between GWG 8 and vegetation plot 7, has
decreased in size since the repair work completed in February 15, 2018. The repair consisted of straw
waddles, juncus plugs and placement of live stakes. Straw bales were also placed in the eroded ditch
that had developed and backfilled with dirt and herbaceous material. Since the repair, the herbaceous
groundcover has become established and the trees have increased in size, especially the bald cypress
(Taxodium distichum). This area will continue to be monitored.
1.3 Monitoring Year 3 Summary
The MY3 asset reductions were the result of one-sided easement sections at the upper and lower ends
of Crooked Creek, and a powerline right-of-way at the upper end of UT1, which had not been adjusted
at the as -built stage. The restored streams within the Site appear stable and functioning as designed.
The average stem density of 567 stems/acre is on track to meeting the MY7 success criteria. Four of the
10 groundwater gages met the performance criteria in MY3. The bankfull performance criteria was met
in MY2. The UT1 stream gage documented 103 consecutive days of baseflow; however, UT1 contains
vegetation over -growth and the jurisdictional nature of this restoration tributary may become a
concern. In addition, the Site will continue to be treated for invasive species.
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 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.
110- Crooked Creek #2 Restoration Project
Monitoring Year 3 Annual Report— FINAL 1-4
Section 2: METHODOLOGY
Geomorphic data were 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). All Integrated Current Condition Mapping was recorded
using a Trimble handheld GPS with sub -meter accuracy and processed using Pathfinder and ArcGIS.
Crest gages and pressure transducers were installed in surveyed riffle cross-sections during annual site
visits. Hydrologic monitoring instrument installation and monitoring methods are in accordance with the
United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE, 2003) standards. Vegetation monitoring protocols
followed the Carolina Vegetation Survey-EEP Level 2 Protocol (Lee et al., 2008).
