DMS Planning Context:
This project is not located in a Local Watershed Planning Area.
Project Setting and Background Summary
The Byrds Creek Mitigation Site is approximately 1.8 miles south of Hurdle Mills, NC off of Wolfe Road in southwestern
Person County. It is located in the Carolina Slate Belt of the Piedmont Physiographic Province and is within the South Flat
River watershed, North Carolina Division of Water Resources Subbasin 03-04-01 of the Neuse River Basin, and United
States Geological Survey Hydrologic Unit Code 03020201010020. Land use within the watershed is rural and is
dominated by forestry, agriculture, and livestock operations, with approximately 60% of the watershed used for
agriculture and 40% forested. The Site is located in an active agricultural field surrounded by wooded lots, small
agricultural operations, and rural residential areas. The project consists of four streams, Byrds Creek, South Branch,
Southeast Branch, and West Branch and has a drainage area of 2,957 acres (4.62 square miles).
Prior to construction activities, the most significant watershed stressors identified during the technical assessment were
cattle access and stream bank erosion and instability. Other stressors included declining aquatic habitat, loss of forest,
and degraded riparian buffers. Because of the aforementioned stressors, the Site had poor water quality due to
sediment pollution and poor habitat due to lack of riparian vegetation. In particular, the Site lacked stable streambank
vegetation and lacked instream bed diversity and exhibited unstable geomorphic conditions. The project design
approach was developed to restore and protect aquatic and riparian terrestrial habitat within the project corridor. The
project provided numerous ecological benefits within the Neuse River Basin. While most of the ecological uplift occurred
at the site level, some such as pollutant removal and improved aquatic and terrestrial habitat have the potential for
more far-reaching effects.
During construction there was a disagreement with the landowner at the top of Southeast Branch. Due to this
disagreement, a portion of the conservation easement was eliminated from the project. Wildlands coordinated this
change with the IRT and updated the recorded conservation easement. Stream credit calculations were updated for the
as -built report to document this change.
Overall, the project is stable and functioning as intended and has met the stream, hydrology, and vegetation success
criteria. During monitoring year 2 localized areas of instability were observed along Byrds Creek Reach 3. Additional live
stakes and herbaceous plugs were installed to help stabilize these areas. During monitoring year 3, areas of localized
instability were repaired along Byrds Creek Reach 3. Banks were reconstructed with geolifts and live whips to minimize
the effects of bank stress during high flow events. Additionally, permanent seed, live stakes, and herbaceous plugs were
installed following the repair activities. During monitoring year 5 three isolated areas of erosion were discovered along
Byrds Creek Reach 3. One of these areas was caused by water flowing around a beaver dam and the other two were
caused by the excessive rain from Hurricanes Florence and Michael. These areas were graded, seeded, and matted as
necessary to repair the damage. Beaver have been an issue on Byrds Creek Reaches 3 and 4 since monitoring year 3. The
USDA was contracted to remove beaver at the Site over the past few years. Beaver have caused minor damage by
gnawing livestakes, which continue to re -sprout annually. Tree of Heaven was growing in two spots inside the easement
along Byrds Creek Reach 2, however both areas have been treated. During monitoring year 4 an easement
encroachment was discovered along Byrds Creek Reach 4. The landowner was contacted, and the area was replanted
with trees of a similar size to ones that were mowed.
At least two bankfull events have been documented on each restoration and enhancement I reach over the five-year
monitoring period. Byrds Creek and South Branch recorded multiple bankfull events during each monitoring year.

Southeast Branch recorded bankfull events every monitoring year with the exception of year 1. All streams have met
hydrology success criteria.
The vegetative communities at the site are flourishing and are progressing towards a natural Piedmont bottomland
forest. All 14 vegetation plots have met the success criteria threshold of 260 planted stems per acre. The average
planted stem density is 503 stems per acre, and 1,850 when counting volunteer species. Individual vegetation plots
range from 324 planted stems per acre to 728.

Goals and Objectives:
The following project goals and objectives were established in the Byrds Creek Mitigation Plan and with consultation with
the North Carolina Interagency Review Team (IRT):

flows through restored floodplain areas where flood flows can
disperse through native vegetation.
• Sediment input from eroding stream banks will be reduced by

• Sediment transport capacity will improve so that capacity
balances more closely to load.
• Channel designs will incorporate restored riffle sequences where
distinct points of re -aeration can occur and will allow for oxygen
levels to be maintained in the perennial reaches.
• Deep pool zones will lower temperature, helping to maintain

• The establishment and maintenance of riparian buffers will create
long-term shading of the channel flow to minimize thermal
heating.
• Introduction of large woody debris, rock structures, and native
stream bank vegetation will substantially increase habitat value.

DMS Recommendation and Conclusion
The project is stable and functioning as intended and has met the stream, hydrology, and vegetation success criteria.
Streams have remained stable with little change over the monitoring period. Multiple bankfull events have occurred on
all stream restoration and enhancement I reaches during the monitoring period. The Site's overall average stem density
recorded during monitoring year 5 is 503 stems per acre, which is greater than the required 260 stems per acre. With
the inclusion of volunteer species, the average stem density on the Site is 1,850 stems per acre. This project has met all
of the overall goals and DMS recommends closing the Site as proposed.
Contingencies
None.
