The report establishes the year 4 monitoring conditions at the site. Anticipated mitigation on the site includes 2,017 linear feet of stream restoration; 1,244 linear feet of stream Enhancement (Level I); 7,723 linear feet of stream Enhancement (Level II); and 2,378 linear feet of stream Preservation for a total of 6,411 Stream Mitigation Units (SMUs). DMS, DEQ Stewardship and Louis Berger conducted a site visit on February 7, 2019 to review conditions on the site. Comments from the site visit are captured in this letter as well as comments from the DRAFT MY4 report. General — DMS Property and DEQ Stewardship Comments: In general, the boundary marking looked to be in pretty good shape. We noted below a few areas in need of upgrades. The other ongoing area of concern for this project continues to be the issue with neighboring livestock. As we noted on-site, the best use of our time in the next few months will be to help promote a positive landowner relationship and transfer to the DEQ Stewardship Program. To help accomplish this task, DMS property (Jeff Horton) and DEQ Stewardship (Ed Hajnos) are willing to go back out to meet with the landowners and have a face to face conversation. Louis Berger should coordinate this when they believe there is a window of opportunity. 1. Just below the bridge at Old Mine Rd. the barbed wire fence was cut to extend field ditching into the CE. This fence needs to be repaired and the ditch filled in up to the CE boundary. ncar•icaro_un� o.osm.n ut rmrWm oueiktl North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality I division of Mitigation Services 217 W.

The ford crossing looked to need some repair to prevent cattle from entering the CE. Please maintain the crossing as necessary to exclude cattle from CE. The project landowners should be informed and understand that all fence and crossing maintenance will be the landowner's responsibility when Louis Berger closes the project with DMS and the IRT. 4. The CE boundary near the pond incorporated lightweight chicken wire posts. These have already shown signs of being knocked over. Please update to a heavier gauge steel, like the many others observed on the site or use 6" wooden rounds like are used for the fence posts. All zip ties used to hang signs should be changed to something more permanent. Photo examples are provided below. Make sure signage is located at all corners near the pond area to clearly delineate this area of the CE boundary. There appears to have been some mowing and possibly loss of tree cover during and after the pond construction. 5. We did not get to the forested side of the stream below the crossing where the property release is needed. How was this area marked? 6. Please provide an up to date list for all contacts associated with this project to include landowners and farm managers. Examples of marking for reference https://photos.app.goo.1/g fdk9lotFWW l OxXAyl General: In MY4, BHR should have been calculated based on DMS guidance provided to consultants in 2018 (attached). Please confirm the guidance was utilized and update if necessary. Please note that BHR is not required for pools. A dash can be utilized for pools (BHR). This method is not required for previous years; just MY4 (2018) and MY5 (2019). General: DMS has concerns about the stream mitigation assets on UT 2, UT 3 and UT 5 and believes that portions these assets could be "at risk" at project closeout due to lack of flow and/ or silting. Please continue to monitor and report any issues through project closeout. In regards to silting reaches (i.e. linear wetlands), lengths should be reported for applicable reaches. Section 1.5.1.3 — Random Vegetation Plots: The report text indicates that the random vegetation plots are shown in Figure 2. The plots are shown in the CCPV sheets but they do not appear to be in a standalone figure 2. Please update the report text accordingly. DMS recommends including a simple map or set of simple maps showing the random plots to go along with Table 14 in the report appendices. Section 1.5.2 - Stream Assessment: In the paragraph discussing the UT5 hydrology, please indicate the pre -construction regulatory determination of the channel status. Was a jurisdictional determination conducted and approved by the USACE on UT5 as part of the mitigation plan? Section 1.5.3.2 - Encroachments: Please add discussion of the newly planted pines along the easement boundary which may reduce the future mowing potential. Please inform the landowner that trees planted within the conservation easement cannot be cut or harvested.

We offer the following responses. • General — DMS Property and DEQ Stewardship Comments: In general, the boundary marking looked to be in pretty good shape. We noted below a few areas in need of upgrades. The other ongoing area of concern for this project continues to be the issue with neighboring livestock. As we noted on- site, the best use of our time in the next few months will be to help promote a positive landowner relationship and transfer to the DEQ Stewardship Program. To help accomplish this task, DMS property Qeff Horton) and DEQ Stewardship (Ed Hajnos) are willing to go back out to meet with the landowners and have a face to face conversation. Louis Berger should coordinate this when they believe there is a window of opportunity. 1. Just below the bridge at Old Mine Rd. the barbed wire fence was cut to extend field ditching into the CE. This fence needs to be repaired and the ditch filled in up to the CE boundary. o Louis Berger is coordinating the repair of the fence to occur in the coming months with our fencing contractor. The area within the CE boundary will be properly seeded and stabilised. 2. We noted some minor evidence of livestock near the bridge. Please keep working to exclude livestock. o Minor evidence of livestock near the bridge is the result of an isolated event occurring from Hurricane Florence in MY4. This event is discussed in detail in the MY4 report. 3. The ford crossing looked to need some repair to prevent cattle from entering the CE. Please maintain the crossing as necessary to exclude cattle from CE. The project landowners should be 1001 Wade Avenue, Suite 400 1 Raleigh I NC 1 27605 1 USA I Tel +1.919.866.4400 informed and understand that all fence and crossing maintenance will be the landowner's responsibility when Louis Berger closes the project with DMS and the IRT. o Louis Berger is coordinating the repair of the cattle crossing with the repair of the fence in the coming months. Louis Berger is looking to include through the removal in orderfor the landowners to maintain the crossing more easily afterproject transfer to the DEQ stewardship. 4. The CE boundary near the pond incorporated lightweight chicken wire posts. These have already shown signs of being knocked over. Please update to a heavier gauge steel, like the many others observed on the site or use 6" wooden rounds like are used for the fence posts. All zip ties used to hang signs should be changed to something more permanent. Photo examples are provided below. Make sure signage is located at all corners near the pond area to clearly delineate this area of the CE boundary. There appears to have been some mowing and possibly loss of tree cover during and after the pond construction. o Locations where lighter weight chicken wire posts were used will be replaced with the heavy-duty steelgauge posts as used in other locations of the project site. Zp ties will be replaced with bolt anchors. Signs will be added to the corners of the easement propery around the constructedpond if not already there. Mowing was observed during the construction of the pond before easement signs were installed in this area. Mowing only occurred to the formerly maintainedgrass area. Tree coverage does not extend to the edge of the CE boundary in allportions of this area. 5. We did not get to the forested side of the stream below the crossing where the property release is needed. How was this area marked? o Per conversations with Jeff Horton, the area of the easement proper y on the forested side this comment pertains too currently does not have easement signs installed. Louis Berger millprovide Jethe total quantity of additional signs required for this segment within the forested area to attach to trees at approximate corners and around every 100 feet to indicate in a line of site where the easement proper y is approximateylocated. Per Js direction, this does not need to be the exact location of the easement and is just a warning that the easement is in this area. At locations of 90 -degree turns in the property due to Berger not obtaining the conservation easement on both sides of the stream, two signs will be placed at a single tree to indicate which direction the easement property goes. 6. Please provide an up to date list for all contacts associated with this project to include landowners and farm managers. o Louis Berger has updated Table 3 to include all contact information for new landowners and farm managers. • General: In MY4, BHR should have been calculated based on DMS guidance provided to consultants in 2018 (attached). Please confirm the guidance was utilized and update if necessary. Please note that BHR is not required for pools. A dash can be utilized for pools (BHR). This method is not required for previous years; just MY4 (2018) and MY5 (2019). o As requested, the DMS guidance provided was uli#i Zed to calculate the BHK for MY4. MY4 appendices have been updated to have a dash for BHR values for pools. • General: DMS has concerns about the stream mitigation assets on UT 2, UT 3 and UT 5 and believes that portions these assets could be "at risk" at project closeout due to lack of flow and/ or silting. Please continue to monitor and report any issues through project closeout. In regards to silting reaches (i.e. linear wetlands), lengths should be reported for applicable reaches. o As discussed with DMS, ongoing monitoring for continuous fow is being conducted for these tributaries. UT 5 is being recognised by Louis Berger as being at risk for lack of flow. UT2 and UT3 have recorded period Of continuous foto during each monitoringyear thus far. Silting in UT2 and UT3 has also subsided since major occurrence in MY2. Where silting has occurred in past, defined channels are beginning to form with evidence of flow. These areas are being monitored with photo documentation during the four seasons through project closeout, as requested by the IRT during the site visit with them and DMS in MY4. • Section 1.5.1.3 — Random Vegetation Plots: The report text indicates that the random vegetation plots are shown in Figure 2. The plots are shown in the CCPV sheets but they do not appear to be in a standalone figure 2. Please update the report text accordingly. DMS recommends including a simple map or set of simple maps showing the random plots to go along with Table 14 in the report appendices. o Figure 2 is referring to Figure 2a- 2j for the AM CCPV. The report text has been updated according to refer to the CCPV. Figure 7a -d has been created and placed with Table 14 to show closer views of each random transect in relation to the vegetation plot. • Section 1.5.2 - Stream Assessment: In the paragraph discussing the UT5 hydrology, please indicate the pre -construction regulatory determination of the channel status. Was a jurisdictional determination conducted and approved by the USACE on UT5 as part of the mitigation plan? o The following information has been added to the discussion of UT5: 1,ouis Bergerpersonnel completed the proper jurisdictional determination forms for UT5 in the site selection study. These forms were submitted as part of the proposal to DMS, as well as included in the final design reports to DMS. At the time of the assessment, UT5 was scored as an intermittent stream. The USACE provided a complimentary site walk and assessment with Louis Berger during the design as part of the mitigation plan, however, only the site walk occurred and there is no final documentation approving the jurisdictional determination of UT5 as an intermittent stream. " • Section 1.5.3.2 - Encroachments: Please add discussion of the newly planted pines along the easement boundary which may reduce the future mowing potential. Please inform the landowner that trees planted within the conservation easement cannot be cut or harvested o Discussion added as requested. The landowner will be notified that the trees planted inside the CE boundary are now restricted by the CE. • General - Proposed Conclusions Section: There is a wealth of information in the report text. DMS recommends a brief Conclusion section before Section 2.0 that summarizes and indicates that the project site is meeting the Success Criteria as established in the mitigation plan and reported in Section 1.3. o Louis Berger has added Section 1.5.4 to the report to provide a summary that the site is meeting the requirements, as detailed in Section 1.3 for requirements, as requested. • Section 2 — Methodology: Please add a brief methodology for the random vegetation plot data collection conducted. Table 14 shows data for both planted stems and total stems. How were planted and volunteer stems differentiated? Random vegetation plot data is typically just the total woody stems in the random plot. o The methodology has been added as requested to Section 2.4. Louis Berger assumed that the trees identified in the random transects that were of the same species and in similar si.Ze to thatplanted were planted trees versus recruits. Table 14 has been revised to show just the total woody stems for each random transect and removed the designations forplanted or recruit. • Project Components Map: Please thicken the stream lines so it is easier to see which mitigation activities are associated with each stream/ reach. The project components map should be a simple 1 - page map that shows the mitigation approach for each reach. An example from another project is provided. Please edit/ update as deemed necessary. o Stream lines have been thickened and the map has been simplified to show the mitigation approach for each reach more clearly. • Table 3 — Project Contact Table: Please add the invasive contractor to the table. o The planting contractor has served as the invasive contractor for this project. Table 3 has been updated to detail this. • Table 4 - Project Information — Please add the thermal regime (warm) to the table. o Thermal regime (warm) has been added to Table 4. • CCPV Figures — The magenta hatch for encroachment/cow prints should be removed from the reach figures. The information would be less obstructive and better summarized in Figure 1 using the hatch or leaders with text. Please review the CCPV figures and Tables 5a -g for completeness regarding aggradation in UT 2 and UT 3. Please consider changing the light blue text color for the call outs as it is difficult to see in the figures. o The magenta hatch for encroachment has been removed and leaders added. Text color for the callouts has been changed to a darker color. UT2 and UT3 have been revised for aggradation along the areas of linear wetlands. As no additional aggradation in MY4 was observed in the portion of UT3 impacted by the MY2 encroachment incident, this area is not shown for aggradation on the CCPV forMY4 or within Table 5a -g. This information has been updated in Tables 5a -g also. UT2 in Table 5a -g in past has been focused on the portion of El where work was performed, which does not include the portion of aggradation/linear wetland that is within an area of E2. This has been revised to include this segment of UT2. • CCPV Figures (Figure 6) - What is the yellow hatched area that covers the crossing? The call out is covered by the legend and there is no reference in the legend. Please revise accordingly. o Theyellow hatch is for the area being removed from the easement as part of the proposed easement modification, pending state finalisation. The plan has been revised to show the call out. If you have any further questions or comments please contact Robin Maycock Perez at RMaycockPereznglouisberger.com or 919-866-4428.

The site encompasses approximately 47 acres of former cattle pasture, cropland and riparian forest along Little Buffalo Creek and portions of seven unnamed tributaries (Figures 1 and 2). Little Buffalo Creek is located within the Yadkin River Basin (03040105; 03040105020060). Historic land use at the site had consisted primarily of ranching activities that had allowed cattle access to the stream and riparian zone. Several reaches of the stream have bedrock in their streambed and vertical migration of the stream has been confined to a small percentage of the project site. 1.2 Project Goals and Objectives The goals of the Little Buffalo Creek Stream Restoration project include, but are not limited to, the enhancement of water quality and aquatic/terrestrial habitat, stream stability improvement, and erosion reduction. The uplift of these stream functions specifically requires: • Protecting and improving water quality through the removal or minimization of the biological, chemical, and physical stressors: o Reducing sediment input into the stream from erosion; o Reducing non -point pollutant impacts by removing livestock access (including restoring forested buffer); o Protecting headwater springs. • Improving aquatic and terrestrial wildlife habitat: o Moderating stream water temperatures by improving canopy coverage over the channel; o Restoring, enhancing, reconnecting, and protecting valuable wildlife habitat. • Restore floodplain connectivity: o Reestablishing floodplain connection thereby dissipating energy associated with flood flows. In addition to the ecological uplift that the project will provide to the Site through the improvement of the stream functions, this project establishes the following environmentally advantageous goals: • Providing a water source for livestock removed from the stream and riparian corridor; • Reducing the number of locations that livestock are able to cross the stream; • Providing a safe and environmentally appropriate stream crossing point for livestock. In order to achieve the project goals, Berger proposes to accomplish the following objectives: • Fence the cattle out of the stream and riparian corridor; • Remove invasive vegetative species from the riparian corridor; • Restore and enhance unstable portions of the stream; • Preserve the stream channel and banks through a conservation easement; • Plant the riparian corridor with native tree and shrub vegetation. The expected ecological benefits and goals associated with the Little Buffalo Creek site mitigation plan serve to meet objectives consistent with the resource protection objectives detailed in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basinwide Water Quality Plan, 2008. Little Buffalo Creek Stream Mitigation Project — Project #94147 — Louis Berger — March 2019 — Monitoring Year 4 — Final 1.3 Project Success Criteria Streams For stream hydrology, a minimum of two bankfull events must be documented within the standard 5 -year monitoring period. In order for the monitoring to be considered complete, the two verification events must occur in separate monitoring years. All of the morphologic and channel stability parameters will be evaluated in the context of hydrologic events to which the system is exposed. Dimension — General maintenance of a stable cross-section and hydrologic access to the floodplain features over the course of the monitoring period will generally represent success in dimensional stability. For stream dimension, cross-sectional overlays and key parameters such as cross-sectional area, and the channel's width to depth ratios should demonstrate relative stability in order to be deemed successful. Pattern — Pattern features should show little adjustment over the standard 5 -year monitoring period. Rates of lateral migration need to be moderate. Profile — For the channels' profile, the reach under assessment should not demonstrate any trends in thalweg aggradation or degradation over any significant continuous portion of its length. Over the monitoring period, the profile should also demonstrate the maintenance or development of bedform (facets) more in keeping with reference level diversity and distributions for the stream type in question. It should also provide a meaningful contrast in terms of bedform diversity against the pre- existing condition. Bedform distributions, riffle/pool lengths and slopes will vary, but should do so with maintenance around design distributions. This requires that the majority of pools are maintained at greater depths with lower water surface slopes and riffles are shallow with greater water surface slopes. Substrate and Sediment Transport — Substrate measurements should indicate progression towards, or maintenance of the known distributions from the design phase. Sediment Transport should be deemed successful by the absence of any significant trend in the aggradation or depositional potential of the channel. Vegetation Survival of woody species planted at mitigation sites should be at least 288 stems/acre through Year 4. A 10 percent mortality rate will be accepted in Year 5 resulting in a required survival rate of 260 trees/acre through Year 5. This is consistent with Wilmington District (1993) guidance for wetland mitigation (USACE 2003). 1.4 Mitigation Components and Design The Little Buffalo Creek Site consists of six reaches along the main stem and seven unnamed tributaries (UTs). The main stem of Little Buffalo Creek as well as UT 4 and UT 7 are perennial streams. The remainders of the UTs are intermittent streams associated with groundwater seeps. This stream mitigation project includes reaches of restoration, enhancement, and preservation along the main stem and the associated UTs. In total, the Site will provide 13,362 linear feet of restoration, enhancement, and preservation (Tables 1 & 4). A summary of restoration and enhancement activity and reporting history can be found in Table 2. Restoration activities have established a new, stable stream channel with the appropriate dimension, pattern and profile to transport perennial flow and sediment and have re -connected the stream to its floodplain. Reestablishment of native riparian forest vegetation and installation of cattle exclusion fencing were also performed as part of the restoration activities. Enhancement activities included reestablishing native riparian vegetation within a 50 -foot easement along each bank of the stream corridor and excluding cattle with fencing. In the case of enhancement level I the activities included reshaping or relocating the bed and banks and riparian forest planting. Preservation was conducted within portions of the stream corridors that have Little Buffalo Creek Stream Mitigation Project — Project #94147 — Louis Berger — March 2019 — Monitoring Year 4 — Final intact riparian forests and stable stream reaches and included excluding cattle with fencing. At a 1:1 ratio for restoration, 1.5:1 for enhancement level I, 2.5:1 for enhancement level II, and a 5:1 ratio for preservation, the DMS will receive, as of December 2017, approximately 6,411 stream mitigation units from the Site (Table 1). In addition, approximately 47 acres of riparian buffer have been protected within a conservation easement. This stream credit generation has the potential to increase to 6,450 stream mitigation units as a result of additional enhancement level I work conducted in the fall of 2016 within a portion of UT3. This area, previously assessed as enhancement level II, had additional entrenched portions of the tributary graded to re -connect the channel with its floodplain and the riparian zone replanted. 1.5 Monitoring Year 4 Conditions Assessment 1.5.1 Vegetation Assessment Five plots (3, 5, 7, 8, and 9) have coverage of goldenrod, dog fennel, and blackberry. In Year 4, to facilitate a more accurate count, the goldenrod, dog fennel, and blackberry were carefully hand trimmed prior to counting stems. Rainfall for Year 4 is higher than in prior years. In addition, there was more rainfall during the growing season (April — September). The additional rainfall would have contributed to more vigorous growth. *Gauge NC -SN -6, Richfield, https://www.cocorahs.orizNiewData/StationPrecipSummM.aspx 1.5.1.1 Planted Stems Planted stem density requirements for Year 4 is 288 stems per acre. When examining planted stems only, in Year 4 of monitoring, ten vegetation monitoring plots (1-4, 6-9, 11, and 12) are exceeding requirements by 10% (339 to 920 stems/acre), one vegetation monitoring plot (5) is exceeding requirements by less than 10% (290 stems/acre), no vegetation monitoring plots fail to meet requirements by less than 10% (260 stems/acre), and one vegetation monitoring plot (10) is failing to meet requirements by over 10% (242 stems/acre). Recruitment of native plant seedlings was recorded in seven (1, 3, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12) of the twelve vegetation monitoring plots (Tables 6, 7, 8, and 9). The current average estimate of 540 planted stems per acre for the site is exceeding the required success criteria of 288 stems per acre. The reasons for the uplift in previous Year 3 poor performing areas (2, 3, 6, and 11) are varied. The stem count (339) in vegetation monitoring plot 2 has remained stable and the uplift is due to the change in success criteria. The uplift in vegetation monitoring plot 3 is most likely from a combination of a more accurate counting due to hand clearing and the additional rainfall. The uplifts in vegetation monitoring plots 6 and 11 are most likely due to the additional rainfall. Increased stems/acre counts were noted in vegetation monitoring plots 1, 10, and 12 most likely due to the additional rainfall. Though, underperforming, vegetation monitoring plot 10 has shown steady improvement year over year. Increased stems/acre counts were noted for vegetation monitoring plots 7, 8, and 9 most likely due to a combination of more accurate counting due to hand clearing and the additional rainfall.

When examining planted stems only, in Year 4 of monitoring, ten vegetation monitoring plots (1-4, 6-9, 11, and 12) are exceeding requirements by 10% (339 to 920 stems/acre), one vegetation monitoring plot (5) is exceeding requirements by less than 10% (290 stems/acre), no vegetation monitoring plots fail to meet requirements by less than 10% (260 stems/acre), and one vegetation monitoring plot (10) is failing to meet requirements by over 10% (242 stems/acre). Recruitment of native plant seedlings was recorded in seven (1, 3, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12) of the twelve vegetation monitoring plots (Tables 6, 7, 8, and 9). The current average estimate of 540 planted stems per acre for the site is exceeding the required success criteria of 288 stems per acre. The reasons for the uplift in previous Year 3 poor performing areas (2, 3, 6, and 11) are varied. The stem count (339) in vegetation monitoring plot 2 has remained stable and the uplift is due to the change in success criteria. The uplift in vegetation monitoring plot 3 is most likely from a combination of a more accurate counting due to hand clearing and the additional rainfall. The uplifts in vegetation monitoring plots 6 and 11 are most likely due to the additional rainfall. Increased stems/acre counts were noted in vegetation monitoring plots 1, 10, and 12 most likely due to the additional rainfall. Though, underperforming, vegetation monitoring plot 10 has shown steady improvement year over year. Increased stems/acre counts were noted for vegetation monitoring plots 7, 8, and 9 most likely due to a combination of more accurate counting due to hand clearing and the additional rainfall. Two Little Buffalo Creek Stream Mitigation Project — Project #94147 — Louis Berger — March 2019 — Monitoring Year 4 — Final vegetation monitoring plots (4 and 5) showed decreases in stems/acre counts. The decrease in stems/acre count in vegetation monitoring plot 4 is most likely due to natural seedling mortality after planting in March 2017. The decrease in stems/acre count in vegetation monitoring plot 5 is directly attributable to blackberry choking out the other vegetation in the plot. 1.5.1.2 Combined Plan ted/Volunteer Stems When examining combined planted/volunteer stems, in Year 4 of monitoring, eleven vegetation monitoring plots (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 12) are exceeding requirements by 10% (387 to 1,694 stems/acre), no vegetation monitoring plots are exceeding requirements by less than 10% (288 stems/acre), no vegetation monitoring plots are failing to meet requirements by less than 10% (260 stems/acre), and one vegetation monitoring plot (10) is failing to meet requirements by over 10% (242 stems/acre). Recruitment of native plant seedlings was recorded in 7 of 12 vegetation monitoring plots (Tables 6, 7, 8, and 9). The current average estimate of 863 combined planted/volunteer stems per acre for the site is exceeding the planted stem success criteria of 288 stems per acre. 1.5.1.3 Random Vegetation Plots During the June 19, 2018 IRT site visit (meeting minutes included in Appendix F), it was requested that random vegetation transects be conducted along UT 3 (vegetation monitoring plot 3), Reach 4 (vegetation monitoring plot 4), UT 2 (vegetation monitoring plot 8), and Reach I (vegetation monitoring plot 11). During the September 2018 vegetation survey, two randomly placed 10 x 10 meter vegetation plots were surveyed in those four areas. For the eight random vegetation plots (Table 14), seven are exceeding requirements for planted stems by 10% (387 to 4695 stems/acre) and one is exceeding requirements by less than 10% (290 stems per acre). Locations of each transect are provided in the MY4 CCPV Plan (Figure 2a -2j). Additionally, locations are shown in Figure 7a -7d as part of Table 14. The two random vegetation plots along UT 3 were 290 stems per acre (downstream, opposite bank from vegetation monitoring plot 3) and 435 stems/acre (upstream from vegetation monitoring plot 3). These planted stem counts are in line vegetation monitoring plot 3's planted stem count of 387 stems/acre. The two random vegetation plots along Reach 4 were 387 stems/acre (downstream from vegetation monitoring plot 4) and 532 stems/acre (upstream from vegetation monitoring plot 4). These planted stem counts are in line with vegetation monitoring plot 4's planted stem count of 532 stems/acre. The two random vegetation plots along UT 2 were 436 stems/acre (downstream, opposite bank from vegetation monitoring plot 8) and 581 stems/acre (downstream, same bank as vegetation monitoring plot 8). These planted stem counts are lower than vegetation monitoring plot 8's Year 4 planted stem count of 920 stems/acre but are in line with vegetation monitoring plot 8's Year 3 planted stem count of 581 stems/acre. The difference is most likely due to the hand clearing in vegetation monitoring plot 8 generating a more accurate count. The two random vegetation plots along Reach 1 were 2,613 stems/acre (downstream plot 11) and 4,695 stems/acre (upstream of plot 11). These planted stem counts were higher than vegetation monitoring plot 11's planted stem count of 339 stems/acre. The difference is most likely due to deeper and nutrient rich soils found outside of vegetation monitoring plot 11. The soils in vegetation monitoring plot 11 are known to be nutrient poor and shallow to bedrock. Little Buffalo Creek Stream Mitigation Project — Project #94147 — Louis Berger — March 2019 — Monitoring Year 4 — Final 1.5.1.4 Volunteer Species/VolunteerDiversity Species diversity has steadily increased from Year 0 (14 planted), to Year 1 (18 combined planted/volunteer), to Year 2 (18 combined planted/volunteer), to Year 3 (22 combined planted/volunteer), to current Year 4 (23 combined planted/volunteer). The increase in two species was due to direct plantings of slippery elm (Ulmus rubra) and blackgum (Nyssa sylvatica) in March 2017. The remaining increase of ten species would be volunteers. In Year 1, three new volunteer species were noted: red maple (Acer rubrum), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), and eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana). In Year 2, two new volunteer species were noted: boxelder (Acer negundo) and common elderberry (Sambucus canadensis). In the Year 3, five new volunteer species were noted: eastern baccharis (Baccharis halimifolia), common persimmon (Diospyros virginiana), loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), smooth sumac (Rhus glabra), and sassafras (Sassafras albidum). In the current Year 4, one new volunteer species was noted: inkberry (Ilex glabra). When comparing planted stems only between Year 3 and Year 4, five vegetation monitoring plots (3, 6, 7, 8, and 10) have seen an increase in species diversity, five vegetation monitoring plots (1, 2, 9, 11, and 12), have maintained species diversity, and two vegetation monitoring plots (4 and 5) lost species diversity. The increased planted stem species diversity in vegetation monitoring plots 3, 7, and 8 are most likely due to a more accurate count resulting from hand clearing. The increased planted stem species diversity in vegetation monitoring plot 6 is for an unknown reason. The increased planted stem species diversity in vegetation monitoring plot 10 is probably due to floodwaters flattening herbaceous growth on the lower portion of the plot, allowing stems to be located during the survey. The decreased planted stem species diversity in vegetation monitoring plot 4 is most likely due to natural mortality from the planting in March 2017. The decreased planted species diversity in vegetation monitoring plot 5 is directly related to the blackberry competition. When comparing combined planted/volunteer stems between Year 3 and Year 4, three vegetation monitoring plots (7, 10, and 12) saw an increase in species diversity, three vegetation monitoring plots (1, 3, and 4) maintained species diversity, and six vegetation monitoring plots (2, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 11) lost species diversity. The increased combined planted/volunteer stem count in vegetation monitoring plots 7 and 10 are as above. The increased combined planted/volunteer stem count in vegetation monitoring plot 12 is most likely due to the additional rainfall. The decreased combined planted/volunteer stem count in vegetation monitoring plot 5 is as above and for the remaining vegetation monitoring plots is most likely due to site-specific variables such as shading, competition, soil depth or fertility. 1.5.1.5 Non -plot Assessment Significant growth was observed in planted American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) and black willow (Salix nigra) trees, likely due to the additional rainfall in 2018. Other planted species were observed to be healthy and exhibiting significant growth due to the additional rainfall. Tree establishment and survival will continue to be monitored. Black willow and silky dogwood (Cornus amomum) live stakes throughout the restoration areas are doing well and very few have been observed to be dead. Surviving stakes are continuing to grow quickly and contribute to bank stability. Soft rush (Juncus effusus) has become established on parts of the stream bank and is adding additional stability to sections of UT7 and UT3. Additional stability is being provided by grasses and sedges that have become established on banks throughout the site. Volunteer crop cover is no longer present and has been outcompeted by other species such as goldenrods (Solidago), asters (Aster), dogfennel (Eupatorium capillifolium), and native grasses. Little Buffalo Creek Stream Mitigation Project — Project #94147 — Louis Berger — March 2019 — Monitoring Year 4 — Final Previously there were areas within the riparian buffer that were having low success in establishing herbaceous vegetation cover due to drought and sections of bank scour. These areas included approximately 300 feet along the main stem of Reach 1, approximately 130 feet along the main stem of Reach 4, and approximately 530 feet of UT 3. These problem areas were reseeded with annual ryegrass and native forbs in February 2016. Reseeded areas total approximately 1.8 acres and make up 53% of E1 areas and 20% of restoration areas. Based on observations during an initial site visit in the early spring of 2018, no additional seeding was performed in these specific areas in 2018 as coverage has significantly increased to meet requirements. Reach 1 has improved greatly through the previous reseedings; however, there is a small bare patch, approximately 0.02 acres, with no herbaceous cover on the left bank flood plain. This is due to an exceedance in copper within the soils that is preventing establishment, determined by sediment sampling during Year 4. Overall herbaceous cover throughout the site has greatly increased. 1.5.1.6 Invasive Species Past treatment and removal of privet (Ligustrum) and multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora) from riparian areas has been mostly successful for Reaches 1-5. On April 13, 2018, Louis Berger personnel surveyed all Reaches for Princess tree (Paulownia tomentosa) and tree -of -heaven (Ailanthus altissima). Thirty-eight mature trees and numerous saplings for both species were noted. The mature trees and saplings were banded with orange paint. On May 4, 2018, Carolina Silvics conducted an Early Growing Season invasive treatment during which the identified smaller trees and saplings were cut and treated with herbicides. During June 5-7, 2018, Strader Fencing cut down the remaining larger mature trees and treated the stumps with herbicides. Between September 4 through 6, 2018, Carolina Silvics conducted a Late Growing Season invasive treatment. On November 29, 2018, Carolina Silvics basal bark treated privet on Reach 6, below the cattle crossing. During site visits by Louis Berger personnel in April, June, September, October, and November, any noted invasive saplings were removed by hand. Herbicide applications for invasive species will continue during MY5 as necessary. 1.5.1.7 Additional Tree Planting During the June 19, 2018 IRT site visit, Kim Browning, USACE, stated that the trees on the left bank of Reach 4, in entire UT -2, and in entire UT -3 did not exhibit the expected level of vigor (tree height) and recommended planting those areas with more mature trees of at least four different species. In an August 8, 2018 email, DMS verified that there is no success criteria standard for tree height on Little Buffalo Creek but recommended planting the areas the IRT noted with at least 4 -foot -high trees as the IRT team will want to see successful vegetation (tree height) onsite at closeout. As such, between November 27-29, 2018, Carolina Silvics planted 300 trees (60 trees along Reach 4, 70 trees along UT 2, 120 trees along UT 3, and 50 trees in Reach 1) that were at least 4 -foot -tall and selected for habitat from among twelve recommended species: silver maple, pin oak, white oak, willow oak, black gum, green ash, box elder, pignut hickory, shagbark hickory, mockernut hickory, hackberry, and tulip popular. 1.5.2 Stream Assessment Overall, the site is functioning as anticipated geomorphically. Issues identified in Year 3 monitoring have almost all been resolved. Additionally, multiple bankfull events occurred in Year 4 with no significant changes of concern experienced due to the storms. One change in profile alignment was observed in UT 4 because of the extreme events experienced at the site, approximately 26 -feet, in which a downed tree has created a log sill near the top of the enhancement level 1 reach. This sill has caused the channel to divert into Little Buffalo Creek Stream Mitigation Project — Project #94147 — Louis Berger — March 2019 — Monitoring Year 4 — Final the right flood plain around established willows and re-enter the as -built alignment just downstream. A riffle is forming in the diversion. This segment is indicated on Figure 4 and is called out as an area of degradation in Table 5. The following lists the key/potential problems identified through the project during Year 3 monitoring and how the issues have been resolved in Year 4: Beaver dams within Reach 1 - Between March 10-13, 2018, three beavers were trapped and removed from Reach 1 and the dam breached. The beaver dam area was monitored during subsequent site visits for return of beavers and any stream impacts. It was subsequently determined that no beavers were remaining and that the channel was not self -restoring. It was further determined that restoration of the area would coincide with scheduled fall tree planting. As such, on November 1, 2018, a bobcat excavator was mobilized to the dam site and the dam was carefully removed to minimize impacts to established vegetation. The stream profile and section was restored to the as - built characteristics for approximately 20 -feet of channel length upstream from the beaver dam under the direction of the engineer who conducted the original work. The dam debris was scattered along the upper floodplain of the stream and seeded with an appropriate vegetation seed mix. Willow live stakes were installed along the re-established channel banks. During a November 16, 2018 site visit, the dam restoration area was noted to be stable. No defined channel for 30 feet portion of UT 2 (wetlands) — During the June 19, 2018 IRT Site Visit, this stretch of channel in UT 2 was visited and observed to have a functioning and defined channel at the time. It was noted that photo documentation should be provided year round to show a defined channel structure during each season. Louis Berger field verified the portion of UT 2 that was in question in years past during the October/November field visit and determined that the length of channel in question is approximately 230 feet. A defined channel with flow was still observed for this section in question during the October/November field visit, however, due to the nature of the shallow valley slope in this area, additional water is observed in the interior floodplain as has been observed in years past. The consensus during the IRT Site Visit is that as trees mature in the area, additional water observed may begin to be taken up by evapotranspiration and the tree roots will help maintain the defined channel. Water monitoring observations indicated continuous flow of a period longer than 30 -days during Year 4. Ongoing photo observations and water monitoring will continue for this area through project closeout. 48 feet of undercutting banks, 4-15 inches deep, along the interior left bank in Reach 3 — This area was discussed with the IRT during the June 19, 2018 site visit and deemed not a major concern with the established vegetation and Reach 3's connection to the floodplain. The undercutting has subsided some in Year 4 due to the multiple bankfull events that have occurred. This is no longer considered as an area of concern as the trees and vegetation have furthered reinforced the area in Year 4, and as observed in the October/November site visit, shown resiliency to major flooding events with no significant alterations. Scoured banks along the portion of E1 in Reach 4 — This area was discussed with the IRT during the June 19, 2018 site visit and deemed not a major concern. Additionally, during the October/November site visit, it was observed that much of this area of scoured banks was actually within the general wet -season base flow channel. In monitoring years past, the channels were dry or with next to no water flow as stream assessments were conducted during the dry season of September. This was changed in Year 4 to observe the channels when they typically have water and flow within them. Little Buffalo Creek Stream Mitigation Project — Project #94147 — Louis Berger — March 2019 — Monitoring Year 4 — Final Lateral point bars within UT 7 forming sinuous low flow channel — As noted last year, the formation of these lateral point bars within UT 7 provided for a sinuous low flow within the restoration section and in -stream habitat. No changes were observed in UT 7 from Year 3 to Year 4 monitoring and the tributary is functioning as anticipated. Piping of rock vane in step pool feature of UT 7 - The potential piping of the step pool features was monitored in Year 4 and it was determined that the piping is not occurring. The lower three step pool features were observed to be a riffle now in Year 4 following in -filling that occurred in earlier monitoring years, however, the upper three step pool features are still providing pool functionalities and habitat potential. No change has occurred with the step pool features in Year 4; these observations were made due to monitoring during periods of water flow. No change to the in -filled step pool features are proposed as the reach is stable and providing transport functionality for the water and sediment through the head drop. The following lists the key/potential problems identified through the project during Year 4 monitoring: Aggradation in Reach 1 Restoration section upstream of the Beaver Dam removal - Due to the beaver dam, very fine material (gravel and sand) has settled out within the channel and interior flood bench upstream of the beaver dam. This was caused due to the backflow condition upstream of the beaver dam during flood events. This is evident in the Year 4 profile survey, MS -1P cross section, and with field observations. The material is very loose and it is evident that it has just recently settled out within the area. This aggradation was not removed during the beaver dam removal in Year 4 as it would cause significant damage to the very well established vegetation within the channel. Due the visual gradation of this material, it is believed that additional storm events will remove the majority of this material and allow the channel to rebound to its condition prior to the beaver establishing the dam. During a November 16, 2018 site visit, the dam restoration area was noted to be stable. On-going monitoring will be made for this area to observe any changes and determine if any field maintenance is required. Due to the timing in the monitoring period, it is likely no earthwork will be performed as the channel is still functioning. Similar to Year 2 and 3 of monitoring, pebble count surveys were not conducted in the following cross sections during the 2018 monitoring event: UT2-1R, UT3-1R, UT3-1P, and UT3-2R. This was due to the channel being consistently lined with vegetation and silt/clay. This is expected to remain consistent for this intermittent stream as it does not have a large sediment supply of coarser material. No future channel maintenance is required at this time for Year 5. Any maintenance work identified going forward will be limited to hand work to the maximum extent possible as heavy equipment can likely cause more damage than anticipated maintenance needs. The stream restoration and enhancement areas are relatively stable and will continue to adjust somewhat in response to storm events. Gauge data throughout the site supports seven different bankfull events during the Year 4 monitoring period, including Hurricane Florence, which are supported by water monitoring gauges, observations of wrack debris outside of the top of bank and in the floodplain throughout the site, as well as photo documentation during the storm events. The in -stream structures are remaining stable and functioning as designed and have had no change in functionality since Year 3. As commented by DMS in Year 2 and Year 3 and discussed with the IRT during the June 19, 2018 Site Visit, UT 2, UT 3, and UT 5 are being monitored to confirm continuous flow for 30 consecutive days within the intermittent streams. Table 13 provides documentation of the continuous flow periods for all areas, by gauge monitoring, for each monitoring year. All gauges but Gauge 11, including those in UT 2 and UT 3, Little Buffalo Creek Stream Mitigation Project — Project #94147 — Louis Berger — March 2019 — Monitoring Year 4 — Final indicated a period of continuous flow for 30 days or more during Year 4 of monitoring, as observed in the water level plots of Figure 6a -6e, and summarized in Table 13. An additional stream gauge has been installed in UT 3 and an additional groundwater gauge has been installed in UT 2, as recommended by the IRT and DMS. These will be monitored through Year 5 for continuous flow. It should be noted, during the field personnel change, some gauges were missed in field downloads in trying to find the gauges during Year 4. This has resulted in short periods of data missing between July 2018 and September 2018 for Gauges 1, 2, 4, 6, and the site barologger. Additionally, the redeployment of Gauge 3 due to not finding the gauge (vegetation overgrowth) occurred in September 2018. Multiple efforts to find Gauge 3 with the use of a metal detector were made, but all were unsuccessful. As a result, the data was lost for this gauge during the Year 4 monitoring period. Manual compensation for all gauges for the period of July 2018 to November 2018 occurred using data provided by the Concord Regional Airport due to the missing data in the site barologger. Field personnel managing the site are now fully acclimated to the locations of all gauges and no additional data gaps should occur through project closeout. An additional stream gauge was installed within UT 5 in September 2018, however has not shown continuous flow for 30 days since deployed. The tributary at the gauge was dry and showed no sign of flow during the October/November site visit, during a season of significant rainfall and flow. It is anticipated that UT 5 will not be considered at close out for credit generation, however, will continued to be monitored for flow at this time. It is believed that the stream credit requirements of the project will still be met without UT 5 due to additional work performed throughout the site. Louis Berger personnel completed the proper jurisdictional determination forms for UT5 in the site selection study. These forms were submitted as part of the proposal to DMS, as well as included in the final design reports to DMS. At the time of the assessment, UT5 was scored as an intermittent stream. The USACE provided a complimentary site walk and assessment with Louis Berger during the design as part of the mitigation plan, however, only the site walk occurred and there is no final documentation approving the jurisdictional determination of UT5 as an intermittent stream. Due to the change in monitoring procedures required by DMS this year, UT 3 cross sections indicate unstable bank height ratios and channel. This, however, is caused by the use of the baseline cross sectional area as the consistent factor for determining bankfull elevations and channel parameters. The baseline values for most of UT 3 were determined in dry conditions, immediately following construction in which channel banks were cut back to leave a small 6 -inch -deep by 1 -foot wide channel throughout UT 3. This small channel was not sufficient for most of UT 3, specifically where the valley slopes increased to form a B6 type channel. Through Year 1, most of this constructed channel began to dissipate, and higher bankfull elevations were evident due to the presence of vegetation. Additionally, with the cattle encroachment in Year 2, this 6 -inch deep channel was eradicated and a true B6 channel formed with the accretion of sediments. Since this event in Year 2, however, vegetation vigor within the channel and its banks has increased dramatically, providing a stable reach with consistent water flow during most of the year. Additionally, no additional accretion has been observed through Year 4 since the vegetation has established. This segment was discussed with the IRT at the June 19, 2018 meeting, in which they did not voice concerns with the stability of the channel, but more so the vegetation vigor and height of trees and the need for monitoring to document consistent flow. As such, the additional gauge was deployed. No corrective actions for UT 3 are required and on-going monitoring for consistent flow and photo documentation will be made as requested by the IRT. 1. 5.3 Site Boundary Assessment 1.5.3.1 Easement Modification In February 2018, DMS requested that the easement boundary at the cattle crossing be modified to remove a portion of the crossing from the easement due to changes in the installation of the crossing that occurred during construction. Subsequently, Louis Berger contracted Turner Land Surveying to conduct the modification. On April 13, 2018, Turner surveyed the area in question. On May 31, 2018, DMS was presented with three options for modifying the easement: Option 1: five new corners, Option 2: three new Little Buffalo Creek Stream Mitigation Project — Project #94147 — Louis Berger — March 2019 — Monitoring Year 4 — Final corners, and Option 3: one new corner. On August 15, 2018, DMS selected Option 3. On September 24, 2018, DMS was presented the draft easement modification paperwork. On October 17, 2018, DMS returned the reviewed paperwork with edits. On October 24, 2018, the final easement modification paperwork was submitted to Blane Rice, State Property Office. On November 20, 2018, Mr. Rice responded that the paperwork was complete and that the State Property Office would handle the remaining steps. Mr. Rice reported the State Property Office's work queue had a two-month backlog. When the State Property Office has finalized the easement modification, Turner will erect the new corner monument. The area being removed from the conservation easement at the cattle crossing is depicted in the MY4 CCPV Plan (Figure 2a -2j). There is still no update on the approval from the State Property Office. 1.5.3.2 Encroachments On April 12, 2018, a meeting was held with Allen Hammill, Marcus Howard, and Kenneth Strader to evaluate fencing alternatives for the cattle crossing. Subsequently, during June 5-7, 2018, Kenneth Strader re -enforced the cattle crossing fencing. During Hurricane Florence (September 14-17, 2018), the cattle crossing fence was damaged by storm debris. The crossing was temporarily repaired with hog fencing while repair options were evaluated. During the September 17-21, 2018, vegetation survey, it was noted that five cows had gotten into the easement while the cattle crossing fence was damaged. On September 20, 2018, Marcus Howard was notified that cows were in the easement. Mr. Howard was not aware that cows had gotten into the easement and promised to have them removed immediately. On October 30, 2018, during the engineering survey, the cows were noted to be still within the fencing and DMS was immediately notified. Mr. Howard was again notified that the cows had not been removed as promised. As of November 5, 2018, Mr. Howard removed all five cows from the easement. On November 16, 2018, Louis Berger personnel verified that the cows had been removed from the easement. Overall management of encroachment has significantly increased in Year 4; however, this single event resulted in cows within the easement in all reaches (with the exception of UT 5 and UT 6) upstream of the cattle crossing. No significant damage was observed due to this event, however, fresh cow pies and trails in the outer extents of the easement corridor were observed during the engineering monitoring event. Louis Berger intends to modify the crossing to incorporate a more manageable and cost effective fence with breakaway barbed wire across the stream. This has been discussed with the landowners and DMS as possible solution to allow for easier maintenance of the fence for the landowners after significant storm events. This will be implemented in the first Quarter of Year 5. In addition to this event, DMS noted during the October/November field -monitoring event that the pond installed by Larry Hammill may be encroaching into the easement but they were not certain if grade manipulation had occurred or to what extent it had impacted the easement. Louis Berger evaluated this area while at the site in during the October/November monitoring event and determined that grading within the easement for the pond had not occurred, but that mowing may have resulted along a portion of the forested edge within the easement. In addition to the mowing, it was observed that the landowner has been using a point along the edge of the easement boundary off Kluttz Road for access. No trees have been planted in this portion of E2 by Louis Berger, and as such, the encroachment has been limited to the mowing of grasses in the historically maintained field. Louis Berger has maintained ongoing communications with all landowners and leaseholders for the property in attempts to stop ongoing encroachment issues and has informed Larry Hammill of these issues. The mowing event occurred during construction of the pond, prior to Louis Berger installing easement posts and signs along Larry Hammill's property in June 2018. Areas within the easement along Larry Hammill's property were visually untouched during the October/November site visit and assessments, indicating that mowing is no longer occurring within the easement not that the signs have been installed clearly indicating the easement boundary. Louis Berger will install metal wire along the installed posts going forward, as well as insure a post is installed along the corner of Kluttz Road to indicated where Little Buffalo Creek Stream Mitigation Project — Project #94147 — Louis Berger — March 2019 — Monitoring Year 4 — Final 10 access roads should not be used by Mr. Hammill to prevent future encroachment in this area. In addition, Mr. Hammill has installed pine trees along the edge of the conservation easement in the winter of 2018. This will prevent future mowing encroachment within the conservation easement property by providing a new forested boundary along the edge of the property. Mr. Hammill will be informed that all pines that were placed within the conservation easement boundary itself are now protected by the restrictions of the conservation easement and should not be cut and/or removed. 1. 5.4 Monitoring Year 4 Conditions Assessment Summary Streams In summary, the site is performing as intended through MY4 and is meeting the required success criteria going into MY5 and project closeout. The site has experienced more than two bankfull events through MY4, as well as experienced bankfull events in each monitoring year. Cross sections, with the exception of isolated problem areas (such as the beaver dam in Reach 1 during MY4), show stability in channel dimensions through MY4. Small deviations have occurred since construction of the channel geometry; however, this is to be expected and is within reason of a stable and successful restoration project. Pattern features have remained consistent, with only minor changes occurring in short sections of channel reaches. Pattern feature changes observed have been directly identified as the result of natural occurrences within channels and are not related to failures in design. Channel profiles, following the events of MY2 with major cattle encroachment, remain consistent. Areas affected by the MY2 encroachment show increased signs of stability and improved vegetation coverage despite the encroachment incident. Areas within UT2 and UT3 that have formed linear wetland features due to aggradation have reformed channel form and profiles to provide water flow during MY4 and are being monitored through project closeout to show stabilization of channels. Lastly, bedform diversity and substrate/sediment transport measurements are as designed and indicated overall stability in the project through MY4. Vegetation Through MY4, planted woody species are meeting the density requirements of 288 stems/acre through 92 percent of the site. Additional plantings of larger species have been installed in the winter of 2018 in isolated areas showing lack of tree height or other deficiencies. A significant rebound in planted woody vigor has occurred between MY3 and MY4 thanks to the very wet season in MY4. Lastly, the site is continuously being monitored and treated for invasive species. As of the end of the MY4 monitoring period, the site is now 100% in compliance with vegetation monitoring requirements. Little Buffalo Creek Stream Mitigation Project — Project #94147 — Louis Berger — March 2019 — Monitoring Year 4 — Final 11 2.0 Methodology Monitoring for stream stability, stream hydrology, and vegetation will be monitored annually for five years following the initial Baseline and As -Built Report. Annual monitoring requirements are based on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Stream Mitigation Guidelines document (USACE 2003) and supplemental requirements listed in the DMS Stream and Wetland Mitigation Monitoring Guidelines dated February 2014 (NCEEP 2014). Establishment, collection, and summarization of data collected was in accordance with the NCDEQ guidance document EEP Annual Monitoring Report Format, Data Requirements, and Content Guidance (April 2015). Additionally, DMS provided new bank height ratio calculation procedures (un- published) in 2018 to be implemented in MY4 and MY5, which modifies observations to maintain as -built bankfull area in determining bank height ratios versus as -built bankfull elevations. 2.1 Geomorphology Surveys for Year 4 monitoring were conducted by Louis Berger in October/November 2018 using a Trimble M3 Total Station, geo referenced to North Carolina State Plane (NAD83-State Plane Feet-FIPS3200) with vertical datum North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (Feet NAVD88). 2.2 Longitudinal Profiles A total of approximately 2950 feet of channel along 8 longitudinal profiles is being surveyed annually. This includes 335 feet on LBC Reach 1; 225 feet on LBC Reach 3; 112 feet on LBC Reach 4; 51 feet on UT 2; 771 feet on UT 3; 411 feet on UT 4; 977 feet on UT 7; and 62 feet on UT 8. Data collected from annual monitoring is being compared with the as -built conditions to document the current state of the channel and any trends in the stream profile occurring throughout the monitoring period. The start and finish locations of each cross-section and longitudinal profile are collected using a Total Station. 2.3 Cross Sections & Particle Size Distribution A total of 15 cross-sections, including 9 riffles and 6 pools were installed upon completion of construction and are being monitored annually. Two additional cross-sections were added within the step -pool portion of UT 7 in monitoring Year 2. The total number of cross-sections includes five on the main stem of Little Buffalo Creek, one on UT 2, four on UT 3, two on UT 4, and five on UT 7. Pebble count surveys were conducted at each cross section, unless noted otherwise in this report. Moving from bank to bank, particles were picked up blindly and at random and measured in millimeters. Enough samples were taken to get a representative sample of particle size distribution for each cross section. Sample size ranged from 50 in pool areas dominated by fines to 100 in flowing riffle areas with a diversity of particle sizes. 2.4 Vegetation Monitoring The Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) -DMS entry tool database was used to calculate the number of monitoring plots needed based on project acreage. Louis Berger established twelve vegetation monitoring plots across all reaches and tributaries of the project area based on guidance given in the CVS -DMS Protocol for Recording Vegetation Version 4.2 (Lee et al. 2008). Each plot measures approximately 0.025 acres individually and is staked out with bright orange painted rebar and marked with two upright sections of PVC pipe. Photos were taken of each plot and Year 3 monitoring data was entered into the CVS -DMS database under the Little Buffalo Creek Stream Mitigation Project (Project ID 94147). Additional PVC markers were added to plot corners during Year 2 in order to make corner stakes easier to find among the increasing herbaceous cover. Little Buffalo Creek Stream Mitigation Project — Project #94147 — Louis Berger — March 2019 — Monitoring Year 4 — Final 12 For a monitoring event, yellow rope is tied around the four corner stakes to mark out the plot. In Year 0, a GPS was used to collect coordinates of each stem and their position was measured in relation to the X and Y axis of the plot. Additionally, each stem was marked with pink flagging to make them easy to locate and identify during the next monitoring event. Flagging is re-applied each year. Planted stems were identified, measured, and given a vigor score ranging from 0 to 4 based on the CVS -DMS database. Naturally recruited stems were identified and tallied only if alive. These stems were not measured or given a vigor score. In 5 plots (3, 5, 7, 8, and 9), goldenrod, dog fennel, and blackberry were hand cleared from the plot to facilitate a more accurate count. The 10 x 10 meter random transect plots were randomly placed in the vicinity of the anchoring vegetation plot. The random plot was established by running a measuring tape 10 meters in a random direction. With the first measuring tape laid down, a second measure tap was run out 10 meters, intersecting at a right angle with the first measuring tape at the 5 meter mark. All living stems over 1 foot in height were counted in the four 5 x 5 meter quadrants and aggregated for the 10 x 10 meter random plot. The locations of the random plots were noted but no permanent markings were placed on the ground. The random plot data was manually entered into a CVS -DMS database excel spreadsheet (retaining all formulas) to obtain stems/acre data comparable to the established vegetation monitoring plots. 2.5 Hydrological Monitoring A total of 13 water level gauges are installed on site, including three groundwater monitoring gauges. The gauges are being monitored biannually to document the highest stage for the monitoring interval and verify occurrences of bankfull and geomorphically significant flow events. In addition, observations of wrack and depositional features in the floodplain, if present, are being documented with photos. In February 2016, two groundwater monitoring wells were installed at the top and bottom of UT 3 to provide additional hydrological data to demonstrate groundwater connectivity to the stream channel. In September 2018, an additional groundwater gauge was installed in UT 2 and an additional surface water gauge was installed in the mid-section of UT 3. In addition to the event stage monitoring, the gauges are being utilized to monitor base flow for verification of water flow for a continuous 30 -day period. Gauges are secured in place through PVC structures in channel pools (Reach 1, Reach 4, UT 4 and UT 7), or in the channel bed (UT 2, UT 3). Elevations are tied to the gauge structures, in which the thalweg invert elevation immediately downstream of the gauge is also monitored. Base flow is recorded when the elevation of water recorded by the gauge rises above the downstream thalweg control elevation. A surface water gauge was installed in UT 5 during the Year 4 monitoring to monitoring for continuous flow, but was subsequently removed due to the data not showing continuous flow and the channel appearing dry during a wet year and season. 2.6 Photo Points & Visual Assessment Permanent photo stations were established at each cross-section to digitally document annual conditions of the left and right banks. Each vegetation monitoring plot includes a photo station taken diagonally from a plot corner towards the opposite plot corner. Additional permanent photo locations have been established throughout the project area and can be found on the Current Conditions Plan View (CCPV) maps in Appendix A. Visual stream assessments are conducted during annual monitoring to summarize performance percentages of morphological and structural features. Visual vegetation assessments are also occurring to catalog the extent and type of vegetation issue as compared to the total planted acreage within the project site.

The intent here is to provide the reader/consumer of design and monitoring information with a good general sense of the extent of hydrologic containment in the pre-existing and the rehabilitated states as well as comparisons to the reference distributions. ER and BHR have been addressed in prior submissions as a subsample (cross-sections as part of the design measurements), however, these subsamples have often focused entirely on facilitating design without providing a thorough pre-constrution distribution of these parameters, leaving the reader/consumer with a sample that is weighted heavily on the stable sections of the reach. This means that the distributions for these parameters should include data from both the cross-section measurements and the longitudinal profile and in the case of ER, visual estimates. For example, the typical longitudinal profile permits sampling of the BHR at riffles beyond those subject to cross-sections and therefore can be readily integrated and provide a more complete sample distribution for these parameters, thereby providing the distribution/coverage necessary to provide meaningful comparisons.

For example, the typical longitudinal profile permits sampling of the BHR at riffles beyond those subject to cross-sections and therefore can be readily integrated and provide a more complete sample distribution for these parameters, thereby providing the distribution/coverage necessary to provide meaningful comparisons.

Coverage: The main channel from Reach 1, just north of vegetation plot 11, to the cattle crossing in Reach 5, as well as the lower portions of UT -2, UT -3, UT -4, UT -5, and UT -6. Reach 1 The group walked in the pasture, north along the east fence line of Reach 1. The small tributary, outside of the easement area • The IRT recommended an additional 20 feet of fencing in this area to create a filter/buffer for the tributary to protect water quality in Little Buffalo Creek. Any increased filtering capacity is better than the existing conditions. Source of maggots is assumed to be a dead cow. It was pointed out that Marcus (tenant) owns several stock yards and tends to buy poorer cows with the thought of improving them. Consider speaking with Marcus about keeping such cows elsewhere and/or to Phil Cline about potentially adding fenced area. (DMS Note: We can't add conservation easement to the project at this point for numerous reasons. Any additional BMP type measures would be acceptable.) Invasive species • Upon crossing the fence, an area where mature Tree of Heavens were removed, to prevent seeding of the disturbed area to the north, was pointed out. Kelly stated that this had been a good idea. • Invasive species maintenance is ongoing with another treatment occurring in the fall. The bare area around Vegetation Plot 11 was examined. • The small area where soil sampling results showed copper toxicity was pointed out and the anecdotal history of copper mining in the area was mentioned. • The lack of trees in a narrow band encompassing vegetation plot 11 was examined. The soil sample report was shared, showing low nutrient soil, as well as that the area being shallow to rock, and wet. o It was noted that on the stream side of this area, there were healthy willow saplings, and on the upland side, healthy loblolly pines. o Robin suggested spreading the beaver dam soil and debris on the bare areas and the IRT agreed that it would be a good area to add depth and organic matter by adding the beaver dam debris and accumulated sediment. o Paul recommended random transects (100 meters square) to be more representative of the vegetation in the area. The beaver dam area was examined. • The IRT asked how long the dam had been there (since approximately November) and when it was removed. Robin stated that the beaver were trapped and the dam was breached in March). • As beaver dam had been breached prior to the growing season, the trees survived, with the exception of small area behind the dam. • The IRT team asked why Berger was waiting until the fall to reshape the dam area and Robin replied that they would prefer that it coincided with replanting and surveying trips. General rule of thumb for performance tolerances at closeout were discussed: • 5% of entire restoration length for streams. 10% of entire restoration area for vegetation (DMS Note: Site specific factors such as the area of copper toxicity are considered on a case-by-case basis.) Buffer width: • IRT stated that the buffer width appeared to be narrow just north of the bend. • They explained that buffer width should be 50 feet or greater and too much length without that buffer width would be a concern. • Thus, prior to closeout, Berger should measure and verify buffer widths. Reach 2 The group then turned south, following the main branch. A turkey on her nest was encountered near vegetation plot 10. The group crossed under the bridge into Reach 2. The group primarily walked down the channel. UT -2 was thoroughly examined: • Flowing water was observed in the channel. • The area was impacted by cattle following construction and has a shallow slope and as such, water is backing up, forming a linear wetland type system. • The area was pointed out to be in a landscape position that is known to have seeps and UT -2 is fed by a pond. • The consensus of the group was that as the trees matured they would transpire the accumulated water and help the stream maintain a channel. • IRT recommended getting good photos year round to show the channel structure during each season. • IRT requested that Gauge 3 not be replaced where it originally was but moved to the mid -point of the stream length of UT -2 where the channel is clearly evident. • Installation of the gauge at an increased depth sufficient to record water levels beneath the channel was also requested. Correlation of the gauge water level reading to continuous channel flow is required for this type of installation. An accompanying groundwater monitoring well was also requested. • DMS suggested random vegetation transects for this area. • IRT noted that the tree density was sufficient but was concerned that their vigor (i.e., size) was not where it should be. • IRT recommended additional plantings in this area with larger (5 -gallon) trees of at least 4 different species. • IRT stated that they would be looking for a defined channel with a history of flow and a lack of these two features would be an issue. • Matt stated that if the gauge was in a pool, it was correlated to elevation to show continuous flow. • DMS suggests continued monitoring and documentation of the "linear wetland areas". Measured lengths should be discussed and documented in MY4 and MY5 reports. Detailed observations of any channel adjustments within these areas should be made and presented in the reports. Reach 3 A small area of undercutting on the main branch was examined: • The area appears to be stabilizing with tree growth, with no mass wasting, nice substrate, and connected to the floodplain. • IRT stated the area looks good. UT -4 was examined near Gauge 5 • IRT stated the area looks good. Reach 4 The left bank riparian corridor was examined (where the cattle had gotten in and grazed): • IRT expressed concern about the size of the tree saplings. • IRT recommend replanting with more mature trees (5 -gallon) of at least 4 different species. • At closeout, IRT is looking for trees to be at or near 10 feet tall. • IRT believes if the area is left alone (not replanted) this area could be a concern at closeout. Enhancement level 1 area on main channel (concrete removal area): • A small area with scour was examined. • IRT stated it was not significant and had no issues with this area. The lower portions of UT -3 (ash grove): • It was pointed out that Berger did additional work in this area that was beyond the initial scope. • Berger asked about incorporating the extra section of work that had been done into the credits (this would require a mitigation plan modification). o IRT highly recommended against trying to modify the existing mitigation plan to incorporate the extra section of work Berger completed as it could potentially open the project to additional monitoring. o IRT suggested that Berger note that extra repairs were made in the final report and to also mention it at close out. UT -3 was thoroughly examined: • The tributary was found to be flowing. • Bare banks along UT -3 were pointed out as well as the fact that the willow live stakes had leafed out this year (had not the prior year). • IRT recommended deploying a gauge at the mid -point of the stream length. • IRT was concerned with the size of the tree saplings in this area and recommended planting with more mature trees (5 -gallon) of at least 4 different species. • IRT recommended getting good photos year around to show the channel structure during each season. Reach 5 UT -5 was thoroughly examined: • The tributary was found to have no flow but contained some wet areas. • Gauge was moved to mid -point of the stream length • Kim stated that she considered UT -5 to be a grass water -way. • Mac stated it was likely not a stream. • The soil was examined and found to vary between hydric and non -hydric. • UT -5 was considered by the IRT to potentially not be a stream and is considered a clear credit risk. UT -6 was examined: • The tributary was found to have flow and has historically had flow. • IRT no comments. • IRT no need for a gauge. Cattle Crossing • IRT — cattle crossing looks good and the re -enforcement looks sufficient. There was no evidence of recent cattle access within the conservation easement. • Asked about a hot wire for when cattle cross (had one, but the solar pack was removed by the landowners). • Asked about why the gates weren't kept closed continuously (maintain cattle access to water). • Asked about alternative water (had gotten a cost proposal for a well but was too expensive, researching other alternatives). • IRT stated that they were not familiar with the blue pickle barrels but were good with whatever we wanted to try. o Verified that the blue barrels would be in addition to the existing fencing. o IRT recommended waiting to see how the new re -enforcement was working before installing the blue pickle barrels. • IRT stated the biggest concern with the cattle crossing was continued maintenance by the landowners. • The easement modification was brought up (at state property office for review) and the IRT expressed no concerns and made no comments regarding the easement modification. Miscellaneous • Paul would proceed with getting Berger paid for MY3. • IRT requested that MY4 and MY5 reports include discussion on initial planted acreage versus replanted acreage (as percentages). • IRT recommended providing before and after photos of the site in MY5 report for their closeout review to understand the uplift that has occurred. • IRT was complimentary of Berger's efforts to keep the cows out and appreciated that Berger staff visited the site frequently enough to be familiar with it and its issues. • The possibility of an additional year's monitoring was brought up o IRT stated this was a possibility due to low vigor on the tree sapling growth o If an additional year of monitoring was requested, it could be tailored to just vegetation o Paul stated that the IRT, in the past, has been very reasonable in requesting additional monitoring years Action Items: 1. Color code stream centerlines on CCPV maps for MY4 and MY5 reports to distinguish levels of restoration effort. 2. Remove beaver dam and spread debris on the copper area and the bare area around vegetation plot 11. 3. Deploy new gauge mid -point of stream length UT -2. Installation of the gauge at an increased depth sufficient to record water levels beneath the channel. 4. Install groundwater well on UT -2 in conjunction with new gauge. 5. Replant around UT -2 with more mature trees of at least 4 different species. 6. Measure linear stream length that may be considered a linear wetland at closeout for more accurate number in the winter. (DMS Note: This should be measured in both MY4 & MYS to track any changes. Measurements will be much easier in the dormant season). 7. Replant the left bank riparian corridor of Reach 4 (cattle grazed area) with more mature trees of at least 4 different species. 8. Deploy new gauge mid- point of stream length UT -3. 9. Replant around UT -3 with more mature trees of at least 4 different species. 10. Conduct more vegetation transects around Vegetation Plot #11, UT -2, Reach 4, and UT -3. 11. Take lots of photographs of the tributary's in flow, at different times of the year, to show the channels. 12. Include this meeting summary in the Appendix of MY4's report.
