Mint Street, # 104 • Charlotte, NC 28203 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.

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). 110- Crooked Creek #2 Restoration Project Monitoring Year 3 Annual Report— FINAL 2-1 Section 3: REFERENCES Doll, B.A., Grabow, G.L., Hall, K.A., Halley, J., Harman, W.A., Jennings, G.D., and Wise, D.E. 2003.
