The project will consist of a combination of restoration and enhancement of streams and non -riparian wetlands and restoration and creation of riparian wetlands. Restoration is proposed for three segments of the South Fork of Cane Creek and portions of three tributaries totaling 4,602 linear feet (LF) of stream restoration. Enhancement I is proposed for 1,182 LF of two unnamed tributaries of the South Fork referred to as UT2 SF4A and a short section of South Fork. Enhancement II is proposed for 3,405 LF of stream including a section of the South Fork called SF2 and the upstream portion of reach SF3 along with portions of tributaries UTI, UT 1 A and UT 1 B. A total of 13.76 acres of riparian wetlands will be restored and created adjacent to the streams and 1.54 acres of non -riparian wetlands will be restored and enhanced. A small unnamed tributary to the South Fork (SF1A) will be reconstructed to provide a stable outlet for an existing pond and improve adjacent wetland hydrology. However, no mitigation credit will be claimed for this channel. The project is located within the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) targeted watershed for the Cape Fear River Basin Hydrologic Unit 03030002050050 and North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) Subbasin 03- 06-04. The proposed project will provide numerous ecological benefits within the Cape Fear River Basin. While many of these benefits are limited to the Underwood Site project area, others, such as pollutant removal and improved aquatic and terrestrial habitat have more far-reaching effects. Expected improvements to water quality and ecological processes are outlined below in Table ES.I as project goals. Table ES.1 Project Goals and Objectives Underwood Mitigation Proiect Primary Goals Measured Project goal How project will seek to reach goal Restore and stabilize Riffle cross sections of the restoration and enhancement reaches will stream dimensions be constructed to remain stable and will show little change in bank -full area maximum depth ratio and width -to -depth ratio over time. Restore and stabilize The project will be constructed so that the bedform features of the stream pattern and restoration reaches will remain stable overtime. This will include profile riffles that remain steeper and shallower than the pools and pools that are deep with flat water surface slopes. The relative percentage of riffles and pools will not change significantly over time. Banks will be constructed so that bank height ratios will remain very near to 1.0 for nearly all of the restoration reaches. Establish proper Stream substrate will remain coarse in the riffles and finer in the substrate pools. distribution throughout stream Establish wetland A free groundwater surface will be present within 12 inches of the hydroloff for Underwood Mitigation Site Draft Mitigation Plan Page i Primary Goals Measured restored and created ground surface for a minimum of 6.5 percent of the growing season wetlands measured on consecutive days under typical precipitation conditions.

Deep pool zones oxygen will lower temperature, helping to maintain dissolved oxygen concentrations concentrations. The establishment and maintenance of riparian buffers will create long-term shading of the channel flow to minimize SH thermal heating. Create appropriate Adjacent buffer areas will be restored by removing invasive terrestrial habitat vegetation and planting native vegetation. These areas will be 1:1 allowed to receive more regular inundating flows. Riparian wetland 2.0 areas will be restored and enhanced to provide wetland habitat.

(8) Maintenance plan. A description and schedule of maintenance requirements to ensure the continued viability of the resource once initial construction is completed. (9) Performance standards. Ecologically -based standards that will be used to determine whether the compensatory mitigation project is achieving its objectives (See §332.5). (10) Monitoring requirements. A description of parameters to be monitored in order to determine if the compensatory mitigation project is on track to meet performance standards and if adaptive management is needed. A schedule for monitoring and reporting on monitoring results to the district engineer must be included. (See §332.6) (11) Long-term management plan. A description of how the compensatory mitigation project will be managed after performance standards have been achieved to ensure the long-term sustainability of the resource, including long-term financing mechanisms and the party responsible for long-term management. (See §332.7(d)) (12) Adaptive management plan. A management strategy to address unforeseen changes in site conditions or other components of the compensatory mitigation project, including the party or parties responsible for implementing adaptive management measures. The adaptive management plan will guide decisions for management measures. The adaptive management plan will guide decisions for revising compensatory mitigation plans and implementing measures to address both foreseeable and unforeseen circumstances that adversely affect compensatory mitigation success. (See §332.7(c)) (13) Financial assurances. A description of financial assurances that will be provided and how they are sufficient to ensure a high level of confidence that the compensatory mitigation project will be successfully completed, in accordance with its performance standards (See §332.3(n)) Underwood Mitigation Site Draft Mitigation Plan Page v 1.0 Project Site Identification and Location The North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) proposes to restore and enhance 9,214 linear feet (LF) of stream, restore and create 13.76 acres of riparian wetlands, and restore and enhance 1.54 acres of non -riparian wetlands in Chatham County, NC. The mitigation site includes two separate areas referred to as the Upstream Area and the Downstream Area which are approximately two miles apart but within the same watershed (Figure 1). The streams proposed for restoration and enhancement include South Fork Cane Creek (South Fork) and five unnamed tributaries: UTI, UT1A, UT1B, UT2, and SF4A. South Fork is broken into 4 reaches (SF1, SF2, S173, & S174) based on geographic separation. A small tributary (SF1A) will be reconstructed to stabilize the channel and aid in wetland creation but no credit will be claimed for this reach. The project also includes restoration and enhancement of degraded wetlands located adjacent to South Fork and three of the unnamed tributaries. The project streams ultimately flow into the Haw River which is part of the Cape Fear River Basin. Photographs of the project site are included in Appendix 1. As a result of the proposed restoration activities, total stream length within the project area will be increased from approximately 8,622 LF to 9,189 LF. The proposed stream restoration designs will primarily be a Priority 1 approach and the stream types for the restored streams will be similar to E or C channels under the Rosgen classification system. Stream enhancements will include restoring riparian buffer and performing bed and bank improvements as needed and, in some cases include raising the channel bed. The wetland restoration and enhancement designs will be based on reference conditions and will restore and enhance Piedmont bottomland hardwood forest. Based on the proposed mitigation effort, the project will result in 6,752 stream mitigation units (SMUs), 9.07 riparian wetland mitigation units (WMUs), and 1.37 non -riparian WMUs. The mitigation activities are summarized in Tables la and lb. 1.1 Directions to Project Site The two locations of the proposed stream and wetland mitigation sites are located in western Chatham County along Clyde Underwood Road just west of Planfield Church Road (Upstream Area) and southwest of Moon Lindley Road between Johnny Lindley Road and Bob Clark Road (Downstream Area) north of Siler City, North Carolina (Figure 1). The sites are currently used for agriculture and are within the Cape Fear River Basin (HUC 03030002). 1.2 USGS Hydrologic Unit Code and NCDWQ River Basin Designations South Fork Cane Creek and its tributaries are located within North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) Subbasin 03-06-04 of the Cape Fear River Basin (USGS Hydrologic Unit 03030002) as shown in Figure 1. Subbasin 03-06-04 includes the Haw River and the Haw River arm of Jordan Lake. The targeted local watershed within the Cape Fear River Basin is hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03030002050050. South Fork flows north into Alamance County where it joins Cane Creek. Cane Creek flows into the Haw River from the south at the Alamance -Orange County line. It should not be confused with the Cane Creek that flows into a water supply reservoir in Orange County and then joins the Hall from the north near the Orange - Alamance County Line. Underwood Mitigation Site Page 1 Draft Mitigation Plan The NCDWQ assigns best usage classifications to State Waters that reflect water quality conditions and potential resource usage. The South Fork of Cane Creek (NCDWQ AU No. 16- 28-5) is the main stream of the project and has been classified as Class WS -V; NSW waters. Class WS -V waters are water supplies which are generally upstream and draining to Class 1.3 Project Components and Structure Table 1a.

The first is an 84 acre tract owned by Mary Jean Harris (Deed Book 05E, Page Number 0102). A conservation easement has been recorded on 7.68 acres of this tract. The second and third tracts include a 46.4 acre tract owned by William Darrel Harris (Deed Book 673, Page Number 532) and a 47.2 -acre tract also owned by William Darrel Harris (Deed Book 972, Page Number 0977). A conservation easement has been recorded on 18.44 acres of these tracts. The Downstream Area of the project is located within two tracts of land. The first is a 150 -acre tract owned by James Randall Lindley (Deed Book 06E, Page Number 0098). A conservation easement has been recorded on the 5.34 -acre project area within this tract. The second is an 82 - acre tract owned by Jonathan Marshall Lindley (Deed Book 716, Page Number 0707). A conservation easement has been recorded on the 6.29 -acre project area within this tract. The conservation easements allow for the restoration work to occur and protect the project area in perpetuity. 2.2 Surface Water Classification and Water Quality On February 19, 2010 and May 6, 2011, Wildlands Engineering, Inc. (WEI) investigated and assessed on-site jurisdictional Waters of the United States using the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Routine On -Site Determination Method. This method is defined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual. Determination methods included stream classification utilizing the NCDWQ Stream Identification Form and the USACE Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet. Potential jurisdictional wetland areas as well as typical upland areas were classified using the USACE Routine Wetland Determination Data Form. On-site jurisdictional wetland areas were also assessed using the North Carolina Wetland Assessment Method (NCWAM). All USACE and NCWAM wetland forms are included in Appendix 2. The results of the on-site field investigation indicate that there are 11 jurisdictional stream channels on the Upstream Area and Downstream Area properties, nine of which are included in the project. These include South Fork Cane Creek and six unnamed tributaries (Figure 3). Other intermittent tributaries have been identified that will not be included in the project. No jurisdictional wetlands were identified on the site. South Fork is classified as Class WS -V, Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW) by the NCDWQ. All NCDWQ Stream Classification Forms are included in Appendix 3. The proposed restoration project includes South Fork and six of the unnamed tributaries. All of these streams are protected under the conservation easement that has Underwood Mitigation Site Page 4 Draft Mitigation Plan been placed on the property. A copy of the Jurisdictional Determination is included in Appendix 2. 2.3 Physiography, Geology, and Soils The Underwood Mitigation Site is located in the Carolina Slate Belt of the Piedmont Physiographic Province. The Piedmont Province is characterized by gently rolling, well rounded hills with long low ridges, with elevations ranging anywhere from 300 to 1,500 feet above sea level. The Carolina Slate Belt consists of heated and deformed volcanic and sedimentary rocks. Approximately 550 to 650 million years ago, this region was the site of a series of oceanic volcanic islands. The belt is known for its numerous abandoned gold mines and prospects. Specifically, the project site is located in the CZfv formation of the Carolina Slate Belt. This formation consists of light gray to greenish gray, felsic metavolcanic rock interbedded with mafic and intermediate metavolcanic rock, meta-argillite, and metamudstone. (NCGS, 2009). The floodplain areas of the proposed project are mapped by the Chatham County Soil Survey. Soils along the UTI, UT1A, UT1B, SF2 and SF3 floodplains are primarily mapped as the Nanford-Badin complex. SH is primarily mapped as the Cid-Lignum complex. UT2 is located in Georgeville silt loam soil. SF4 and SF4A are mapped in the Chewacla and Wehadkee soils. These soils are described below in Table 3. A soils map is provided in Figure 4. Soil profiles sealed by a NC registered soil scientist are included in Appendix 4. Appendix 4 also includes data for additional borings collected by WEI. Table 3.

Population growth and the associated development and infrastructure projects create the necessity for mitigation projects in this region. Land in western Chatham County, other than the town of Siler City, is largely forested or used for agriculture. Approximately 60% of the land in the project watershed is forest, 39% is classified as managed herbaceous cover or agricultural, and the remaining 1% is split between unmanaged herbaceous and open water (MRLC, 2001). 2.5 Watershed Planning The NCEEP follows the Compensation Planning Framework when targeting mitigation sites for implementation. The first planning stage is the development of River Basin Restoration Priority Plans (RBRPs) to prioritize specific watersheds within the 8 -digit hydrologic units in which to implement mitigation projects. Through the development of RBRPs, NCEEP develops restoration goals and priorities for 14 -digit hydrologic units referred to as "Targeted Local Watersheds." All Full Delivery Procurement projects must be located within Targeted Local Watersheds. The next phase of planning is the development of Local Watershed Plans to identify and prioritize specific mitigation projects. To date, no local watershed plan has been developed that includes the Cane Creek watershed. The NCDWQ prepares basinwide water quality plans for each of the State's 17 river basins. The 2005 Cape Fear Basinwide Water Quality Plan does not include any assessment information or recommendations for Cane Creek or South Fork Cane Creek (note: the basinwide plan does include information on a different Cane Creek that is a tributary to the Haw River). Underwood Mitigation Site Page 6 Draft Mitigation Plan 2.6 Endangered and Threatened Species 2.6.1 Site Evaluation Methodology The Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), defines protection for species with the Federal Classification of Threatened (T) or Endangered (E). An "Endangered Species" is defined as "any species which is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range" and a "Threatened Species" is defined as "any species which is likely to become an Endangered Species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range" (16 U.S.C. 1532). The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and NC databases were searched for federally listed threatened species for Chatham County, NC. Four federally woodpecker (Picoides borealis), bald eagle (Haliaeetus (Notropis mekistocholas), and harperella (Ptilimnium Chatham County (Table 4). Natural Heritage Program (NHP) and endangered plant and animal listed species, the red -cockaded leucocephalus), Cape Fear shiner nodosum) are currently listed in Table 4. Listed Threatened and Endangered Species in Chatham County, NC Underwood Mitigation Project Species Federal Habitat AJIL Biological Status Conclusion Vertebrate Red -cockaded woodpecker E Open stands of mature No effect Picoides borealis pines Bald eagle Near large open water (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) BGEPA bodies: lakes, marshes, No effect seacoasts, and rivers Cape Fear shiner Pools, riffles, and runs of (Notropis mekistocholas) E rocky, clean freshwater No effect streams Vascular Plants Harperella E Rocky or gravely shoals of No effect Ptilimnium nodosum clear swift -moving streams E = Endangered; T=Threatened; BGEPA = Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act 2.6.2 Threatened and Endangered Species Descriptions Red -Cockaded Woodpecker The red -cockaded woodpecker is a medium-sized woodpecker species (8 to 9 inches in length). Distinctive coloration includes black and white feathers with a large white cheek patch and a black back with a white barred pattern. This species is typically found year- round in large open stands of pines with mature trees of 60+ years in age. The foraging habitat for this species may include pine hardwood stands of longleaf and southern pine, 30+ years in age. Occurrences of the red -cockaded woodpecker are listed as historic within Chatham County. Bald Eagle The bald eagle is a very large raptor species, typically 28 to 38 inches in length. Adult individuals are brown in color with a very distinctive white head and tail. Bald eagles Underwood Mitigation Site Page 7 Draft Mitigation Plan typically live near large bodies of open water with suitable fish habitat including: lakes, marshes, seacoasts, and rivers. This species generally requires tall, mature tree species for nesting and roosting. Bald eagles were de -listed from the Endangered Species List in June 2007; however, this species remains under the protection of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGPA). This species is known to occur in every U.S. state except Hawaii. Cape Fear Shiner The Cape Fear shiner is a small minnow fish species, typically 6 centimeters in length. This species is pale silvery yellow in color with a black stripe along each side and yellow fins. Water willow beds in flowing areas of creeks and rivers appear to be part of the essential habitat for this species. Individuals can be found in pools, riffles, and slow runs of clean, rocky streams composed of gravel, cobble, and boulder substrates. Critical habitat for this species within Chatham County includes approximately 4.1 miles of the Rocky River from the NC -902 bridge downstream to the County Road 1010 Bridge. Additional critical habitat includes 0.5 mile of Bear Creek from the County Road 2156 bridge downstream to the Rocky River and 4.2 miles downstream within the Rocky River to 2.6 miles of the Deep River. Harperella Harperella is an obligate, annual vascular plant ranging in height from 6 to 36 inches. This plant exhibits small white clusters of flowers at the stem tops similar to Queen Anne's lace. This species typically flowers from May until the first frost. Ideal habitat for this species includes pond and riverine areas with gravelly shoals of clear, swift - flowing streams. These areas typically require moderately intensive spring floods to scour gravel bars and rock crevices to remove any competing vegetation. Known population occurrences of harperella have been observed in Chatham County within the past 20 years. 2.6.3 Biological Conclusion A pedestrian survey of the site was performed on February 18, 2010. On-site habitats include active pastures, successional woodlands, and streamside thickets. The creeks on site provide poor quality potential habitat for Cape Fear shiner. Known populations in the area are in a different river basin (Deep Creek). No shoals of the type utilized by harperella occur on the project site. No habitat for red -cockaded woodpecker occurs on site as they require 60+ year old pine trees. There is no suitable nesting or breeding habitat for bald eagles located within the site, as they require tall, mature trees. Additionally, no suitable feeding habitat for bald eagles is located at the site or within close proximity, such as lakes or large rivers. As a result of the pedestrian survey, no individual species were found to exist on the site. 2.6.4 Federal Designated Critical Habitat 2.6.4.1 Habitat Description The USFWS has designated Chatham County as exhibiting critical habitat for the Cape Fear shiner. This Critical Habitat includes approximately 4.1 miles of the Rocky River from the NC -902 Bridge downstream to the County Road 1010 Bridge. Additional Underwood Mitigation Site Page 8 Draft Mitigation Plan critical habitat includes 0.5 mile of Bear Creek from the County Road 2156 Bridge downstream to the Rocky River and 4.2 miles downstream within the Rocky River to 2.6 miles of the Deep River. These Critical Habitat locations, however, do not fall within the South Fork Cane Creek watershed. Clean, rocky streams composed of gravel, cobble, and boulder substrates with water willow beds in the flowing areas of creeks and rivers appear to be part of the essential habitat for this species. The results of the pedestrian survey performed on February 18, 2010 indicate that in -stream habitat exhibits poor conditions for the presence of Cape Fear shiner. In -stream habitat includes some gravel and cobble; however these substrates are dominated by finer sands and silts as a result of heavy bank erosion throughout the project reaches. No Critical Habitat for the listed species exists within the project areas. 2.6.4.2 Biological Conclusion It is determined that the proposed restoration activities will have no impact on the Critical Habitat of the Cape Fear shiner. 2.6.5 USFWS Concurrence WEI requested review and comment from the USFWS on July 12, 2010, regarding the results of the site investigation of the Underwood Mitigation Site and its potential impacts on threatened or endangered species. Since no response was received from the USFWS within a 30 -day time frame, it is assumed that the site determination is correct and that no additional, relevant information is available for this site. A further review of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program's (NCNHP) element occurrence GIS data layer shows that no natural heritage elements occur within 3.5 miles of the proposed project areas. All correspondence is included in Appendix 5. 2.7 Cu/tura/ Resources 2.7.1 Site Evaluation Methodology The National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, amended (16 U.S.C. 470), defines the policy of historic preservation to protect, restore, and reuse districts, sites, structures, and objects significant in American history, architecture, and culture. Section 106 of the NHPA mandates that federal agencies take into account the effect of an undertaking on any property, which is included in, or eligible for inclusion in, the National Register of Historic Places. A letter was sent to the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on July 12, 2010 requesting review and comment for the potential of cultural resources potentially affected by the Underwood Mitigation Project. 2.7.2 SHPO/THPO Concurrence A request for records search was submitted on July 12, 2010 and to the NC State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) to determine the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance that would be affected by the project. In a letter dated July 28, 2010 (see Appendix 5) the SHPO stated that they have reviewed the project and are "aware of no historic resources which would be affected by the project." Underwood Mitigation Site Page 9 Draft Mitigation Plan 2.8 Physical Constraints 2.8.1 Property Ownership, Boundary, and Utilities The Upstream Area of the project is located on two parcels owned by William Daryl Harris and Mary Jean Harris. A conservation easement, held by the State of North Carolina, has been recorded over 18.44 and 7.68 of these parcels respectively. The Downstream Area of the project is on two adjacent parcels owned by James Randall Lindley and Jonathan Marshall Lindley. A conservation easement, also held by the State of North Carolina, has been recorded over 11.63 acres of these parcels. The stream reaches that are proposed for restoration and enhancement activities are mostly bound on both sides by active agricultural fields, although the upstream portions of SF4A and UTI are partially bound by forest. The wetland restoration and creation areas are all adjacent to the streams and are within active agricultural fields. There are no known utilities or other easements located on the properties. One road crossing exists on UTI (it will be relocated to another location on UTI) and one crossing will be constructed on SF2 as well. No mitigation credit is requested for these portions of the streams. 2.8.2 Site Access The Upstream Area of the project includes three parcels — two north and one south of Clyde Underwood Road. The road will be the primary access point to the all of the project streams and wetland areas on this portion of the site. Farm roads and open fields will allow easy movement of construction equipment within the properties. The Downstream Area is located adjacent to Moon Lindley Road. This site is also open agricultural land, and farm roads and open fields will provide access from the paved road and allow for easy movement around the site. 2.8.3 FEMA and Hydrologic Trespass SF4 is a FEMA mapped stream (Figure 5). The project will be designed so that any increase in flooding will be contained on the project site and will not extend upstream to adjacent parcels, so hydrologic trespass will not be a concern. The proposed restoration has been designed to transition back to the existing boundary conditions in a gradual manner. 3.0 Project Site Streams — Existing Conditions 3.1 Existing Conditions Survey The streams located within the Upstream Area of the Underwood Mitigation Site flow through pastures used primarily for grazing livestock. The streams themselves are used as water sources for the animals. As a result, the stream banks are heavily trampled, the channels have over - widened, and the banks remain unstable in most cases. The majority of the riparian buffers were removed decades ago when the sites were cleared for agricultural use. A few sparse trees remain in the riparian zones of some of the channels. There are multiple farm ponds on the site including two that are at the headwaters of project streams and one that is an impoundment on a project stream. Review of historic aerial photos indicates that the land cover patterns have remained essentially the same at least as far back as 1973. However, there was substantial clearing performed between 1951 and 1973 including removal of the buffers along SF2, SF3, Underwood Mitigation Site Page 10 Draft Mitigation Plan UT 1, and UT 1 A. UT 1 B was cleared after 1973 (historic aerial photos are included in Appendix 6). The streams located within the Downstream Area of the site flow through open fields used for row crop cultivation. The upstream end of South Fork (SF4) on this portion of the site is wooded on one side and the upstream portion of the unnamed tributary (SF4A) is wooded on both sides. The riparian buffers on the remaining reaches of stream are primarily herbaceous vegetation. These streams have been straightened and deepened and have vertical banks. Some sections are undergoing significant bank erosion. On-site existing conditions assessments were conducted by WEI between August 2010 and February 2011. The assessments were performed on each of the streams listed in Table 1. All of the streams were determined to be perennial except for UT 1 B and UT 1 A which are intermittent. The locations of the project reaches and surveyed cross sections are shown in Figure 6. Existing geomorphic survey data is included in Appendix 7. Tables 5a and 5b summarize the attributes of the overall project and of the project reaches. Table 5a.

However, each of these reaches has a bimodal distribution of gravel and sand including some large gravel. 3.2 Channel Classification The streams included in the Underwood Mitigation project are all on active farmland and have all been significantly manipulated over the last 35 years. In addition to the channelization and Underwood Mitigation Site Page 12 Draft Mitigation Plan maintenance of the channels, livestock have trampled many sections of the stream banks. Therefore the streams are all in a very unnatural condition and reliable bankfull features were difficult to identify. An estimate of bankfull stage was made for each reach based on potential field indicators and comparison to channel dimensions predicted by the rural Piedmont regional curves. WEI classified the streams based on the Rosgen classification system to the degree possible using these best estimates of bankfull stage. Existing geomorphic conditions for each reach included in the project are summarized below in Tables 6a and 6b and the reaches are mapped on Figure 6. South Fork (SF) is broken into 4 reaches based primarily on geographic separation. SF1 is 682 LF and located within the upstream area of the project, on the property south of Clyde Underwood Road. This reach drains 0.21 square miles. The reach has been channelized and is essentially straight, except for some areas where lateral erosion has created some minor variation in pattern. The channel is in a fairly tight valley and the floodplain side slopes are relatively steep. The channel has a width to depth ratio of 6.15, an entrenchment ratio of 6.97, and a slope of 0.011 ft/ft. The d50 of the bed material is 4.7 mm. The channel classifies as a straightened E4. The bank height ratio is 1.12 indicating that the reach is somewhat incised, however, the most significant problems with this channel are lateral erosion and lack of floodplain vegetation. SF2 is a short reach (302 LF not including culvert under Clyde Underwood Road) significantly downstream of SF 1 on either side of Clyde Underwood Road. This reach is larger with a (drainage area of 1.22 square miles) and has slightly more plan view pattern than SH with a sinuosity of 1.20. A few trees are spread around the floodplain and there are bedrock outcroppings in the channel. The valley is not as confining along this reach but there has been more vertical incision of the channel resulting in an apparent bank height ratio of 1.2. The width to depth ratio is 11.91, the entrenchment ratio is 3.29, the channel slope is 0.010 ft/ft, and the channel is most similar to a straightened E4 stream type. SF3 is 2,132 LF long and flows from the north side of Clyde Underwood Road (immediately downstream of SF2) in a northward direction through active pastures. UT 1 enters from the west approximately 500 LF before the end of the reach. There are a few trees in the riparian zone all along SF3, however cattle graze up to the top of the banks and use the stream as a water source. The banks of this reach have been trampled for much of its length. Some sections of the reach have meander bends while others are relatively straight. Overall the reach has a sinuosity of 1.23. The width to depth ratio is 8.76, the entrenchment ratio is 3.06, and the channel slope is 0.004. The bed material is primarily small to large gravel and sand. The channel classifies as an E4.

The South Fork reach that runs through this area is called SF4. SF4 is much larger than the other reaches of the South Fork with a drainage area of 5.26 sq. mi. This reach has also been straightened and manipulated for agricultural purposes, but the adjacent fields are used for planting row crops rather than as pastures for livestock. Bank erosion is not as severe on this reach, however it has been dug deep to drain adjacent fields (portions of which were historically wetlands), straightened, and has a riparian zone with few mature trees. The width to depth ratio is 6.92, the entrenchment ratio is 3.48, the slope is 0.003, and the sinuosity is 1.27. Due to a channel bed that is predominantly sand, the reach classifies as an E5 channel. The project site also includes five smaller tributaries that flow into the South Fork that are proposed for restoration and enhancement. These include UTI, UT1A, UT1B, UT2, and SF4A. UTI flows eastward through active pastures and joins SF3 near the end of that reach. UT 1 has a drainage area of 0.36 miles. The riparian buffer has sparse trees throughout. It has a higher sinuosity (1.22) compared to the other reaches in the project. The reach has a width to depth ratio of 8.46, an entrenchment ratio of 1.58, and a channel slope of 0.010. The bed material in the channel is bimodal including significant portions of both sand and gravel; however its D50 is 1.0 resulting in a bed material classification of very coarse sand. The channel does not fit exactly into any of the Rosgen system classifications but is most similar to an E5 or G5. UT1A and UT1B are small intermittent tributaries that flow off of the adjacent hillslope through pasture lands into UTL Riparian zones of both tributaries are completely devoid of woody vegetation. UT1B has an in-line pond approximately 100 LF above its confluence with UTL UT1A and UT1B are both nearly straight with sinuosities very near 1. UT1A has a width to depth ratio of 23.63, an entrenchment ratio of 2.25, and a reach -wide D50 of 4.7 mm making it most similar to a straightened C4 channel. UT1B has a width to depth ratio of 4.85 and an entrenchment ratio of 1.9 making it most similar to a straightened G channel (with a slightly high entrenchment ratio). UT2 is a small tributary with drainage area of 0.12 square miles just to the east of SF 1 and eventually flows into SF1 downstream of the project reach. It has been straightened and has a sinuosity of nearly 1. UT2 has some trees and woody vegetation in its riparian buffer but is otherwise surrounded by active pasture. It has a width to depth ratio of 5.17, an entrenchment ratio of 18.91, a channel slope of 0.012 ft/ft, and a D50 of 6.1 mm. It is most similar to a straightened E4 in the Rosgen classification system. SF4A is a relatively large tributary with a drainage area of 1.0 square mile that flows northward, mostly through crop fields, into S174 near the downstream end of the project. Most of the length of SF4A has been channelized although the upstream portion (approximately 475 LF) flows through a wooded area and may have been less manipulated historically. The reach has a width to depth ratio of 6.3 1, an entrenchment ratio of 2.85, a channel slope of 0.008 ft./ft., a sinuosity of 1. 13, and a D50 of 0.8 mm making it most similar to a straightened E5 stream type. Underwood Mitigation Site Page 19 Draft Mitigation Plan 3.3 Valley Classification The majority of the Underwood project area is bound by broad valleys and gentle elevation relief, typical of the region. The surrounding fluvial and morphological landforms do not fit neatly into any valley type according to the Rosgen classification system (Rosgen, 1996); therefore the valley was not classified according to that system. WEI used GIS tools to analyze topography data in order to describe the valley morphology of each project stream. Characteristics of each project stream valley are summarized in Table 7. Table 7. Summary of Project Stream Valley Characteristics Underwood Mitiaation Proiect 3.4 Discharge Multiple methods were used to approximate the bankfull discharge and choose a design discharge for each of the separate design reaches. Due to the agricultural and forest land cover within the watershed, discharge estimates were made using methods intended for rural watersheds. Regional curves relating bankfull discharge to drainage area for rural watersheds in the Piedmont region of North Carolina (Harman, et al., 1999) were used to estimate the bankfull discharge for each reach. In addition, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) flood frequency equations for rural watersheds in the North Carolina Piedmont (USGS, 2009) were used to estimate peak discharges for each reach for floods with a recurrence interval of two years. The two-year discharge provides a reasonable approximation of bankfull discharge, but is generally slightly larger than the discharge predicted by the appropriate regional curve. In addition, historic gauge data were collected from multiple nearby stream gauges operated by the USGS. Two of these gauges with long-term, continuous records of discharge and relatively small drainage areas were selected to assist with developing the design discharge. These two gauges passed the homogeneity test (Dalrymple, 1960) indicating that they are located within a single homogenous region in terms of streamflow characteristics. The river reach near the gauge for one of these sites — Cane Creek near Orange Grove (drainage area = 7.54 square miles) — appeared to have reasonable, consistent bankfull indicators. So a survey of this site was performed to identify the bankfull stage and Underwood Mitigation Site Page 20 Draft Mitigation Plan Avg.

Due to the agricultural and forest land cover within the watershed, discharge estimates were made using methods intended for rural watersheds. Regional curves relating bankfull discharge to drainage area for rural watersheds in the Piedmont region of North Carolina (Harman, et al., 1999) were used to estimate the bankfull discharge for each reach. In addition, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) flood frequency equations for rural watersheds in the North Carolina Piedmont (USGS, 2009) were used to estimate peak discharges for each reach for floods with a recurrence interval of two years. The two-year discharge provides a reasonable approximation of bankfull discharge, but is generally slightly larger than the discharge predicted by the appropriate regional curve. In addition, historic gauge data were collected from multiple nearby stream gauges operated by the USGS.

These two gauges passed the homogeneity test (Dalrymple, 1960) indicating that they are located within a single homogenous region in terms of streamflow characteristics. The river reach near the gauge for one of these sites — Cane Creek near Orange Grove (drainage area = 7.54 square miles) — appeared to have reasonable, consistent bankfull indicators. So a survey of this site was performed to identify the bankfull stage and Underwood Mitigation Site Page 20 Draft Mitigation Plan relate it to the established stage -discharge curve of the gauge to estimate the bankfull discharge for the site. The bankfull recurrence interval for this site was determined to be 1.15 years. Because the other gauge used in the analysis - Rocky River near Crutchfield Crossroads (drainage area = 7.42 square miles) did not appear to have consistent bankfull features, methods described in Bulletin 17 B (Interagency Advisory Committee on Water Data, 1982) were used to determine the discharge associated with a 1.5 -year recurrence interval for this gauge. The basin ratio method was then used to estimate a bankfull discharge for each project reach based on the bankfull discharge at the Cane Creek gauge and the 1.5 -year discharge for the Rocky River gauge. This method was applied by simply multiplying the ratio of discharge to drainage area of a gauge to the drainage area of the design reaches. Each of the methods described above was used to estimate a bankfull discharge or discharge with recurrence interval approximating bankfull for each design reach. A design discharge was selected for each reach based on the analyses described above. The design discharges were chosen to be slightly smaller than the bankfull discharges estimated by the regional curve for multiple reasons: 1) Due to wetland mitigation areas adjacent to the project stream reaches, frequent flooding and smaller, more shallow channels are desirable. 2) The bankfull discharge estimates derived from the basin ratio method with the nearby gauges were smaller than the bankfull discharges predicted by the regional curve. 3) When compared to the rural Piedmont regional curve, the estimated bankfull discharge of the two reference reaches and two gauge sites plotted below the curve (Figure 7). Table 8 summarizes the results of each of the discharge analyses described in this section. Table 8.

The existing conditions assessment of the project reaches indicated that channelization of the streams and surrounding agricultural land use has led to channel incision and over -widening, severe bank erosion, and loss of aquatic habitat. Based on the morphologic survey data the streams were mostly classified as E or E/GG channels (Tables 6a and 6b). UT1A, classifies as a Cb stream type and UT1B is a B stream. It is likely that all of these streams (with the exception of UT1A and UTIB) were originally E stream types and have either incised to the point at which they now classify as E/G streams (which have a lower entrenchment ratio) or are in the process of transitioning to G streams. It is important to note, however, that reliable bankfull features were difficult to identify in most cases due to erosion and trampling of the stream banks by livestock. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the degree to which these streams have incised. In most cases the planview pattern of the streams is far less sinuous than is normal for E stream types. The sinuosity values of these streams range from 1.02 (nearly perfectly straight) to 1.23 (moderately sinuous) while E channels are typically highly sinuous (>1.5). A short section of SF3 has a high sinuosity which is unusual for the site. Review of historical aerial photos (Appendix 6) indicates that the streams were channelized at least as far back as the early 1970s and have been maintained in a straight condition since. The bed material of the channels is a bimodal distribution of sand and fine gravel. D50 values range from 0.3 (sand) to 6.1 (fine gravel). However, all of the channels have both sand and gravel. While the coarser material predominated in the riffles and runs and the finer material in the pools, particles of both size ranges were found throughout all of the reaches. In some reaches including SF3 and UTI pool features outnumbered riffles and runs but the opposite was true in S171, SF4, UT1A, UT2, and UT2A. In other reaches pools and riffles/runs were more evenly distributed. 3.6 Channel Evolution A review of aerial photos for the project area dating back to 1973 indicates that the streams included in the project were channelized and much of the woody vegetation along the channels was removed prior to that time (but in most cases, after 1951). The surrounding land cover has changed very little since the early 1970's. Channelization usually includes straightening and deepening of streams and is one of the major causes of channel down -cutting, or incision (Simon, 1989; Simon and Rinaldi, 2006). Based on Simon's well-established model of channel evolution (1989), the likely sequence of events that has led to the current state of degradation of the project streams began with channelization sometime prior to 1973. The channelization induced channel incision which led directly to over -steepened banks that subsequently began to fail resulting in channel widening and creation of the current U-shaped channels. Livestock have had access to most of the streams located in the upstream area for decades which has increased the degree of lateral erosion. Bank erosion liberates sediment into the streams which deposits in downstream water bodies. Currently, the project streams appear to be in Stage IV of the Simon model — Channel Widening. In the Rosgen channel evolution model this progression corresponds to the E stream type to G stream type scenario. Most of the streams included in the project have been classified as incised E channels (considering bank height ratios greater than 1) or E/G channels except for UT 1 A (classified as a Cb stream) and UT 1 B (classified as a B Underwood Mitigation Site Page 22 Draft Mitigation Plan stream). The next likely stage will be increased widening to an F stream type. However, the next phase of the Simon model, Stage V — Deposition, does not appear to have begun based on the lack of fine sediment accumulations in the channels. Stage V corresponds with creation of a C stream type at a lower base level in the Rosgen system when a channel with more stable geometry is constructed through sediment deposition. UTI is an exception; there is evidence in some portions of the channel of deposition and on-going creation of a new bankfull channel at a lower base level. It is likely, however, that this channel is still migrating towards a C stream type. 3.7 Channel Stability Assessment WEI utilized a modified version of the Rapid Assessment of Channel Stability as described in Hydrologic Engineering Circular (HEC) -20 (Lagasse, 2001). The method is semi -quantitative and incorporates thirteen stability indicators that are evaluated in the field. In a 2007 publication, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) updated the method for HEC -20 by modifying the metrics included in the assessment and incorporating a stream type determination. The result is an assessment method that can be rapidly applied on a variety of stream types in different physiographic settings with a range of bed and bank materials. The Channel Stability Assessment protocol was designed to evaluate 12 parameters: watershed land use, status of flow, channel pattern, entrenchment/channel confinement, bed substrate material, bar development, presence of obstructions and debris jams, bank soil texture and coherence, average bank angle, bank vegetation, bank cutting, and mass wasting/bank failure. Once all parameters are scored, the individual scores are totaled and the stability of the stream is then classified as Excellent (score = 12-36), Good (score = 37-72), Fair (score = 73-108), or Poor (score =109-144). As the protocol was designed to assess stream channel stability near bridges, two minor modifications were made to the methodology to make it more applicable to project specific conditions. The first modification involved adjusting the scoring so that naturally meandering streams score lower (better condition) than straight and/or engineered channels. Because straight, engineered channels are hydraulically efficient and necessary for bridge protection, they score low (excellent to good rating) with the original methodology. Secondly, the last assessment parameter — upstream distance to bridge — was removed from the protocol because it relates directly to the potential effects of instability on a bridge and should not influence stability ratings for the streams assessed for this project. The final scores and corresponding ratings were based on the twelve remaining parameters. The rating adjectives were assigned to the streams based on the FHWA guidelines for pool -riffle stream types. The HEC -20 manual also describes both lateral and vertical components of overall channel stability which can be separated with this assessment methodology. Some of the 13 parameters described above relate specifically to either vertical or horizontal stability. When all parameter scores for the vertical category or all parameter scores for the horizontal category are summed and normalized by the total possible scores for their respective categories, a vertical or horizontal fraction is produced. These fractions may then be compared to one another determine if the channel is more vertically or horizontally unstable. The assessment results for the streams on the Underwood sites indicate that all of the streams except for UT1A and UT113 are rated in the second to the lowest category — fair. UT1A and Underwood Mitigation Site Page 23 Draft Mitigation Plan UT 1 B are relatively stable sites but they rated poor for bank protection. For every stream assessed, the lateral fraction was greater than the vertical fraction. This indicates that lateral instability is a greater problem for these streams than vertical instability. Total scores, stability ratings, and vertical and horizontal fractions are provided in Table 9. Table 9.

However, during the existing conditions assessment, WEI staff identified the best available bankfull indicators and surveyed cross sections at those locations. Bank features considered to be potential bankfull indicators included flat depositional features and prominent breaks in slope. In addition, a nearby USGS gauging station (station 02096846 - Cane Creek near Orange Grove, NC) was used to develop a calibrated estimate of bankfull discharge and channel geometry at a local site.

Bankfull data for the gauge site, the surveyed project reaches, and two nearby reference reaches were compared Underwood Mitigation Site Page 24 Draft Mitigation Plan with the NC rural Piedmont regional curves and are shown overlaid with the rural curves for area and discharge in Figure 7. Analysis of the bankfull cross-sectional areas and discharges for the project reaches reveal that the data consistently plot within the 95% confidence intervals of the area and discharge regional curves in all cases where the points are within the range of drainage area (independent variable) covered by the regional curves. This information indicates that the bankfull indicators identified during the existing conditions assessment provide reasonable estimates of bankfull geometry for the existing conditions. The USGS gauge bankfull discharge was 83% of that predicted by the rural Piedmont regional curve for discharge for a site with a drainage area the same as the gauge site (7.54 sq. mi.) and the cross sectional area was 66% of the regional curve prediction (both well within the lower 95% confidence intervals). The recurrence interval for the bankfull discharge of the gauge site was determined to be 1.15 years. While this recurrence interval is lower than that of many of the gauged sites included on the regional curve, it is reasonable to represent bankfull discharge and provides further support for the use of the regional curves in the project area. 3.9 Vegetation Community Types Descriptions The existing vegetation communities within the proposed project area are predominately disturbed cattle pasture and row crop agricultural systems dominated by fescue grasses. Based on conversations with the landowners and the age of abandoned farm houses on the properties, row crop agriculture and cattle grazing have been the predominant land use on these farms since at least the early 1900's. Due to heavy agricultural activities and vegetation management over the past century, several major strata are completely absent from this area resulting in a dominant herbaceous layer with few sparse mature trees. Overstory vegetation is thicker and more mature along the UT2 and SF3 tops of bank and within the UTI floodplain. Dominant herbaceous species within this area include fescue (Festuca spp.) and soft stem rush (Juncus effuses). Sparse tree species include shagbark hickory (Carya ovata), red maple (Acer rubrum), green ash (Fraxinus sylvatica), hackberry (Celtis occidentalis), box elder (Acer negundo), water oak (Quercus nigra), willow oak (Quercus phellos), black willow (Salix nigra), and sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua). 4.0 Reference Streams Two reference reaches were identified near the project area and used to support the design of the project reaches (Figure 8). Reference reaches can be used as a basis for design or, more appropriately, as one source of information on which to base a stream restoration design. Most, if not all, reference reaches identified in the North Carolina Piedmont are in heavily wooded areas and the mature vegetation contributes greatly to their stability. Design parameters for this project were also developed based on the design discharge along with dimensionless ratio values associated with successful restoration designs of streams in the North Carolina Piedmont. Reference reach data for similar streams were obtained from existing data sets and used to verify design parameters. The reference streams considered when developing design parameters for this project include Long Branch and UT to Cane Creek. These reference streams were chosen because of similarities to the project streams including drainage area, valley slope and morphology, bed material, and location within the Carolina Slate Belt region of the Piedmont. Underwood Mitigation Site Page 25 Draft Mitigation Plan 4 Reference Streams Channel Morphology and Classification Long Branch is located in the central portion of Orange County northwest of Chapel Hill. According to the Collins Creek Restoration Plan (KCI Technologies, 2007), the drainage area is 1.49 mit and the land use within the drainage area is low-density residential, agricultural lands, and forest. The Long Branch reference site was classified as a C4 channel type according to the KCI report. The channel has a width to depth ratio ranging from 8.8 to 13.8 and an entrenchment ratio of >2.5. The reach has a valley slope of 0.6% while the channel slope is 0.4%. The bed material D50 for the reach is 7.6 mm. WEI visited the reference site to verify the data presented in the KCI report. Two riffles were surveyed during the site visit. These riffles had width to depth ratios of 9.4 and 7.9 and entrenchment ratios of 11.7 and 12.1. Some cross sections are more typical of E stream types while others would classify as a C stream type. This is true of both the sections documented in the KCI report and those surveyed by Wildlands. The second reference reach investigated for the project, UT to Cane Creek, is located in southern Alamance County approximately seven miles from the Underwood site. This site was classified as an E4 stream type in the Unnamed Tributary to Cane Creek Restoration Plan (URS, 2007) and has a drainage area of 0.28 mit. This reach also flows through a mature forest and has a channel slope of 0.46%. The morphological parameters reported for the riffle cross section include a width to depth ratio of 13.1 and an entrenchment ratio of >2.2. WEI conducted a site visit for this reference reach and surveyed an additional cross section typical of the reference reach. The width to depth ratio of this reach was 7.9 and the entrenchment ratio was approximately 25 indicating that the channel would fall into the E classification. Both of these reference reaches have width to depth ratios in the C to E range depending on the particular cross section considered. For general classification purposes, they are on the cusp between E and narrow C streams. There is often considerable variability of the widths and depths of a stable natural channel - even within a morphologically similar reach. This is very common of smaller Piedmont streams and is representative of the conditions planned for the Underwood site. Summaries of geomorphic parameters for the reference reaches analyzed for this project are included in Table 10. Table 10.

Both of those streams are both surrounded by mature hardwood forests composed of typical Piedmont bottomland riparian forest tree species. The mature trees within the riparian buffers provide significant bank reinforcement to keep the streams from eroding horizontally and maintain channels with small width to depth ratios. The Long Branch site is classified as a combination of Piedmont levee and bottomland forest types (Schafale & Weakley, 1990).

Both of those streams are both surrounded by mature hardwood forests composed of typical Piedmont bottomland riparian forest tree species. The mature trees within the riparian buffers provide significant bank reinforcement to keep the streams from eroding horizontally and maintain channels with small width to depth ratios. The Long Branch site is classified as a combination of Piedmont levee and bottomland forest types (Schafale & Weakley, 1990). The Underwood Mitigation Site Page 27 Draft Mitigation Plan Levee forest type occurs closer to the creek and grades back to the bottomland forest. Dominant species include river birch (Betula nigra), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), and sycamore (Platanus occidentalis). Common understory vegetation includes ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana), paw paw (Asimina triloba), and American silverberry (Eleagnus commutata). The UT to Cane Creek site is classified as a Piedmont bottomland forest type (Schafale & Weakley, 1990). Dominant species include southern red oak (Quercus falcata), red maple (Acer rubrum), river birch, tulip poplar, sweetgum, green ash, and sycamore. Common understory vegetation includes ironwood and paw paw. 5.0 Project Site Wetlands — Existing Conditions 5.1 Jurisdictional Wetlands On February 19, 2010, WEI delineated jurisdictional waters of the U.S. within the project easement area. Potential jurisdictional areas were delineated using the USACE Routine On -Site Determination Method. This method is defined by the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual and subsequent Eastern Mountain and Piedmont Regional Supplement. Routine On -Site Data Forms have been included in Appendix 2. The results of the on-site jurisdictional determination indicate that there are no jurisdictional wetlands located within the project easement. 5.2 Hydrological Characterization In order to develop a wetland restoration, enhancement, and creation design for the Underwood Site, an analysis of the existing and proposed conditions for groundwater hydrology was necessary. DrainMod (version 6.0) was used to model existing and proposed groundwater hydrology at the site. DrainMod simulates water table depth over time and produces statistics describing long term water table characteristics and an annual water budget. DrainMod was selected for this application because it is a well-documented modeling tool for assessing wetland hydrology (NCSU, 2010) and is commonly used in wetland creation and restoration projects. For more information on DrainMod and its application to high water table soils see Skaggs (1980). 5.2.1 Groundwater Modeling For the Underwood wetlands, four total models were developed and calibrated to represent the existing and proposed conditions at four different groundwater monitoring gauge locations across the site. Resulting model output was used to validate and refine the proposed grading plan for wetland restoration and creation on site and to develop a water budget for the site. The modeling procedures are described below. 5.2.1.1 Data Collection DrainMod models are built using site hydrology, soil, climate, and crop data. Prior to building the models, soil cores were taken to validate existing mapped soils across the site. Further explanation of the site soils can be found in Section 5.3 of this report. Rainfall and temperature data were obtained from nearby weather station Siler City 2 N (Station No. 317924) operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Weather Service. The data set for this station was obtained from the Underwood Mitigation Site Page 28 Draft Mitigation Plan North Carolina State Climate Office from January of 1960 through April of 2011. These data were used to calibrate the models and perform the long term simulations. Information to develop model inputs for crops previously grown on the site was obtained through interviews with the landowner. 5.2.1.2 Existing Conditions Base Model Set up and Calibration Models were created to represent four monitoring gauge locations on the site at as shown on Figure 6. The models were developed using the conventional drainage water management option with contributing surface water runoff to best simulate the drainage of the site. Each of the four gauges was installed in July, 2010 and recorded groundwater depth twice per day with In-situ Level TROLL® 100 or 300 pressure transducers through early December 2010. The gauges were reactivated in March, 2011 and collected additional data through early April, 2011. These periods were used as the calibration period for the groundwater models. The first step in developing the model was to prepare input files from various data sources. A soil input file obtained from N.C. State University, which has similar characteristics to the soils on the site, was used as a base soil input file for each model. The soil files were refined by adjusting certain parameters for each of the mapped soils found on-site from published soil survey data (MRCS, 2006, 2011). Temperature and precipitation data from a nearby weather station, described above, were used to produce weather input files for each model. Once the necessary input files were created, the project settings were adjusted for this application and then calibration runs were conducted. To calibrate the model, parameters not measured in the field were adjusted within the limits typically encountered under similar soil and geomorphic conditions until model simulation results were similar to observed gauge data. After calibration of each of the models was complete, the calibrated models were used as the basis for the proposed conditions models. Plots showing the calibration results are included in Appendix 8. Trends in the observed data are well -represented by the calibration simulations. Although hydrograph peaks between plots of observed and simulated data do not match exactly, relative changes in water table hydrology as a result of precipitation events correspond well between observed data and model results. 5.2.1.3 Proposed Conditions Model Setup The proposed conditions models were developed based on the existing conditions models to predict whether wetland criteria would be met over a long period of recorded climate data. Proposed plans for the site include grading portions of the site to lower elevations, raising the inverts of adjacent stream channels, planting native wetland plants, and roughing the surface soil through disking. A ditch that currently drains a riparian wetland restoration area referred to as RW4 will also be filled. These proposed plans were developed to increase the wetland hydrology on site. Settings for the proposed conditions model were altered to reflect these changes to the site. To account for changes to stream alignments, the ditch spacing values in the models were altered. To simulate proposed site grading conditions, the ground surface elevations were decreased by the depth of ground to be graded at gauges 4 and 5. Changes in the vegetation on the site were Underwood Mitigation Site Page 29 Draft Mitigation Plan simulated by altering the rooting depth of plants on the site from variable shallow depths for crops (varying by time of year) to consistent and deeper values for hardwood tree species. Surface storage values were increased at all gauges to account for proposed disking to the site. Once the proposed conditions models were developed, each model was run for a 51 -year period from January 1960 through March 2011 using the weather data from the Siler City 2 N weather station to perform the long term simulation. 5.2.1.4 Modeling Results and Conclusions DrainMod was used to compare calibrated existing conditions models with proposed conditions scenarios to determine the effect of proposed practices on site hydrology. Each gauge location was evaluated to establish how often annual wetland criteria would be met over the 51 -year simulation period. The wetland criteria are that the water table must be within 12 inches of the ground surface at each gauge for a minimum of 6.5% of the growing season (April 1 through November 3). The modeling results show that Gauges 2 (representing riparian wetland RW1) and 3 (riparian wetland RW4) would meet the criteria 45 and 39 years respectively out of the 51 -year simulation period if in the restored condition. Gauges 4 (riparian wetland RW3) and 5 (riparian wetland RW4) represent wetlands that would not regularly meet criteria without grading the portion of the site represented by that gauge (the wetland creation zone) to a lower elevation. The model results show that if grading is performed to lower the ground surface at each gage by 12 inches, those portions of the site would meet criteria 40 and 43 years respectively out of the out of the 51 -year period. Note: gauge 1 was removed and not used in the simulations. 5.2.2 Surface Water Modeling at Restoration Site The only surface water modeling necessary to support the wetland designs was performed with DrainMod by simulating a contributing area runoff for the hillslope areas adjacent to gauges 3 and 5 (RW4). The runoff simulated for theses hillslopes provided one of the hydrologic inputs for the adjacent wetland areas. No other modeling of surface hydrology, other than the HEC -RAS hydraulic flood study, was performed for this project. 5.2.3 Hydrologic Budget for Restoration Site DrainMod computes daily water balance information and outputs summaries that describe the loss pathways for rainfall over the model simulation period. Tables Ila, Ilb, Ilc, and IId summarize the average annual amount of rainfall, infiltration, drainage, runoff, and evapotranspiration estimated for the three modeled locations on site. Infiltration represents the amount of water that percolates into the soil. Drainage is the loss of infiltrated water that travels through the soil profile and is discharged to the drainage ditches or to underlying aquifers. Runoff is water that flows overland and reaches the drainage ditches before infiltration. Evapotranspiration is water that is lost by the direct evaporation of water from the soil or through the transpiration of plants. From the water balance results provided in Tables l la, l lb, l lc, and I Id it can be seen that, in most cases evapotranspiration is larger in the proposed condition when compared to the existing condition while runoff is smaller. The evapotranspiration stays essentially the same for gauge 3 because there is a higher existing condition evapotranspiration due to the corn crop planted on the site than would be the case for pastureland. For all gauges except gauge 5, runoff is decreased and infiltration is increased for the proposed condition. Underwood Mitigation Site Page 30 Draft Mitigation Plan Gauge 5 is unusual because there is a large volume of runon from an existing ditch that will be discharged to the wetland area that currently discharges directly to SF4A and, therefore, does not contribute to the hydrology of the existing site. Some of this additional water will run off the site, increasing the runoff volume for the gauge 5 area. Table 11a.

This investigation Underwood Mitigation Site Page 32 Draft Mitigation Plan supplemented the soils analysis performed by a licensed soil scientist (LSS) on March 1, 2010. Soil cores were collected at locations across the site to provide data to refine NRCS soils mapping units, establish areas suitable for wetland restoration and creation, and aid in developing a wetland grading plan. Fifty-one soil cores were taken at approximately 100- to 200 -foot grid spacing in key wetland areas across the site (Figures 9 and 10). Nineteen of the fifty-one soil cores were taken by the licensed soil scientist in March 2010. Soil texture, Munsell chart hue, chroma and value, and hydric soil characteristics were recorded for each core. At each break in soil chroma or texture a new description was recorded and the depth of the change was recorded. The depth to hydric indicators was then measured as well. Detailed soil borings logs are included in Appendix 4. 5.3.1 Taxonomic Classification Analysis of the soil core samples collected from the project site along with consideration of site topography indicated that soils classifications did not agree with the mapped soil units in many locations. Soil classifications are discussed by wetland zone below. Soil chroma and texture are summarized by zone but Figures 9 and 10 and Appendix 4 contain more detailed information concerning individual soil borings. 5.3.1.1 RWI Soils within the RW 1 area are predominately mapped as Georgeville silt loam which is not listed on the NC Hydric Soil list. This map unit is broad and accurately reflects the surrounding upland soils, however, soil borings throughout the proposed wetland area indicate that the map unit is incorrectly applied to the floodplain area. Soil cores 24-29 (Appendix 4) indicate chroma values of one and two throughout the matrix to a depth of 24 inches with 20%-40% mottling, blackened manganese, and concretions. The soils in this confined floodplain match more closely to the Chewacla and Wehadkee series which are mapped in the downstream floodplains. Monitoring gauge data confirm that the soil in this area is poorly drained. 5,3.1.2 RW2 Soils within the area referred to as RW2 are predominately Cid-Lignum Complex which is listed on the NC Hydric Soil list primarily for inclusions of the Wehadkee soil type. Soil cores indicate chroma values of one and two at a depth of 12-18 inches. The soil mapping unit was confirmed to be correct in this area. 5.3.1.3 NRWI Soils within the NRW 1 area are predominately Cid-Lignum Complex which is listed on the NC Hydric Soil list, primarily for inclusions of the Wehadkee soil type, and Nanford- Badin Complex which is not listed. These map units are broad and accurately reflect the surrounding upland soils; however, soil borings throughout the proposed NRW 1 area indicate that the map unit is incorrectly applied to this area which is not associated with a stream channel. Soil cores 30 to 33 indicate chroma values of one to three throughout the matrix to a depth of 24 inches with 20%-30% mottling and blackened manganese. The soils in this confined wetland area match more closely to the Chewacla and Wehadkee series. Underwood Mitigation Site Page 33 Draft Mitigation Plan 5.3.1.4 RW3 Soils within the RW3 area are predominately mapped as Nanford-Badin Complex which is not listed on the NC Hydric Soil list. This broad map unit accurately reflects the surrounding upland soils and portions of the floodplain; however, soil borings throughout and between the proposed wetland areas indicate that the map unit is incorrectly applied at a finer scale. Soil cores 1-20 (Appendix 4) indicate variable conditions within the floodplain of S173. In the portions of the floodplain proposed for wetland restoration and creation, chroma values of one to three characterized the matrix to a depth of 24 inches with 10%-40% mottling, blackened manganese, and oxidized rhizospheres. Soils in the zones proposed for creation had a higher sand content in the upper 12 inches than soils in the areas proposed for restoration. The soils in this floodplain matched the mapping unit in some locations while matching more closely to the Chewacla and Wehadkee series in other locations. 5.3.1.5 NRW2 Soils within the area referred to as NRW2 are predominately Nanford-Badin Complex which is not listed on the NC Hydric Soil list. This broad map unit accurately reflects the surrounding upland soils. However, soil borings indicate that the map unit is incorrectly applied to this wetland area which is not associated with a stream channel. Soil cores 21 and 22 indicate chroma values of one throughout the matrix to a depth of 24 inches with 10%-30% mottling. Soil core 23 is an adjacent upland point. The soils in this confined wetland area match more closely to the Chewacla and Wehadkee series. 5,3.1.4 RW4 Soils within the RW4 area are predominately mapped as Chewacla and Wehadkee, which is listed on the NC Hydric Soil list, and has margins of Nanford-Badin Complex, which is not listed on the NC Hydric Soil list. This floodplain area was confirmed to be a mix of the two soil types with some areas showing more hydric conditions consistent with Chewacla and Wehadkee and other areas showing higher chroma soils more consistent with Nanford-Badin Complex. Soil cores 34-51 (Appendix 4) indicate these variable conditions within the floodplain of SF4. In the portions of the floodplain proposed for wetland restoration and creation, chroma values of one to three characterized the matrix to a depth of 24 inches with 10%-40% mottling, blackened manganese, and oxidized rhizospheres. 5.3.2 Profile Description The floodplain areas of the proposed project are mapped by the Chatham County Soil Survey (MRCS, 2006). Soils along the UTI, UTIA, UTIB, MA, SF2 and SF3 floodplains are primarily mapped as the Nanford-Badin complex. S171 is primarily mapped as the Cid-Lignum complex. UT2 is located in the Georgeville silt loam soil. SF4 and SF4A are mapped in the Chewacla and Wehadkee soils. These soils are described below in Table 12. A soils map is provided in Figure 4.

Underwood Mitigation Site Page 35 Draft Mitigation Plan 5.4 Vegetation Community Types Descriptions and Disturbance History The existing vegetation communities within the proposed wetland areas are predominately disturbed cattle pasture and row crop agricultural systems dominated by fescue grasses. Based on conversations with the landowners and the age of abandoned farm houses on the properties, row crop agriculture and cattle grazing have been the predominant land use on these farms since at least the early 1900's. Due to heavy agricultural activities and vegetation management over the past century, several major strata are completely absent from this area resulting in a dominant herbaceous layer with few sparse mature trees. Dominant herbaceous species within this area include fescue (Festuca spp.) and soft stem rush (Juncus effuses). Sparse tree species include shagbark hickory (Carya ovata), red maple (Acer rubrum), green ash (Fraxinus sylvatica), hackberry (Celtis occidentalis), box elder (Acer negundo), water oak (Quercus nigra), willow oak (Quercus phellos), black willow (Salix nigra), and sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua). 6.0 Reference Wetland A reference wetland was identified immediately adjacent to RW4. The property is classified as a Piedmont bottomland forest (Shafale & Weakley, 1990). Because the site is immediately adjacent to the project site, it offers the best opportunity to provide reference information on the appropriate natural community to use in restoring and creating wetlands on the project site. The reference wetland is primarily bottomland hardwood forest and the natural community present on the site was used in combination with other sources as a basis to develop the planting plan for the restoration/enhancement/creation project. 6.1 Hydrological Characterization A groundwater monitoring gauge was installed on July 29, 2010 on the reference site to document the reference wetland hydrology. However, after further analysis during the fall of 2010 it was determined that this particular location represented drier than average conditions for this wetland complex due to its proximity to a drainage feature. The gauge was moved to a more appropriate reference location in March of 2011. The gauge has not been installed for an adequate period to assess hydrologic conditions and determine the appropriateness of this reference location. Other reference sites are currently being evaluated and a permanent reference location will be selected prior to beginning the post -construction monitoring period. This information will be used to provide a comparison for the restored and created wetland hydrology throughout the monitoring period. 6.2 Soil Characterization and Taxonomic Classification The soils on the reference site are mapped as Chewacla and Wehadkee which are listed on the NC Hydric Soils list. This floodplain area was confirmed to match the mapped soil unit which is described in more detail above. 6.3 Vegetation Community Types Descriptions and Disturbance History Historical aerials reveal that the reference wetland area was vegetated in 1951 and 1993 to present. In the 1951 photograph, this area was the only vegetated zone within several hundred acres of surrounding cleared agricultural land indicating that it has generally been too wet to use as productive farm land. The existing vegetation communities are typical of a bottomland Hardwood Forest and include semi -mature canopy tree species, moderate subcanopy and shrub species, as well as an herbaceous layer. Dominant canopy species include sweetgum, red maple, Underwood Mitigation Site Page 36 Draft Mitigation Plan sycamore, willow oak, and water oak. Typical subcanopy and shrub species include American elm, box elder, and black willow. 7.0 Project Site Mitigation Plan A local watershed plan has not been developed at this time for the Cane Creek watershed, the 14 - digit HUC in which the project is located. The goals for the Haw River watershed, which includes Cane Creek, discussed in the 2009 NCEEP planning document Cape Fear River Basin Restoration Priorities (CFRBRP) are focused on the Jordan Lake nutrient strategy which calls for reductions in nutrient loads to the lake. The lake was designated as nutrient sensitive waters (NSW) by the NC Environmental Management Commission (EMC) in 1983. The NCDWQ determined that the Haw River arm of the lake was failing to meet its designated uses in 2006 due to exceedences of chlorophyll -a (chl-a) and pH standards. Both chl-a and pH can be indicators of eutrophication which is driven by excessive nutrient loads. As a result, the entire reservoir is now on North Carolina's list of impaired waters under Section 303(d) of the federal Clean Water Act. The CFRBRP discusses "a number of stream and wetland restoration projects" which have been completed in the Cane Creek watershed. The specific goals for the watershed are continued restoration and preservation work, promotion of healthy riparian corridors, improvements to "aquatic conditions" and benthic habitats, and, because it is part of the Jordan Lake watershed, reductions in nitrogen and phosphorous loads to help meet established nutrient reductions for the lake. The 51 cattle, dairy, and poultry operations within the watershed are implied to be a major stressor to aquatic resources by the CFRBRP. The restoration design developed for this project was completed with careful consideration of goals and objectives that were described in the CFRBRP. The goals were established to meet NCEEP's mitigation needs while maximizing the ecological and water quality uplift provided by the project. The goals represent the "ends" that the finer objectives (or "means") were formulated to achieve and were directed by the specific stressors discussed above. The overarching goals of this mitigation plan are broad and similar to those of other mitigation plans. The objectives are more specific in order to replace specific ecological functions and to remain sustainable given watershed trajectory. 7.1 Overarching Goals of Mitigation Plans The following list provides the intended goals of this mitigation plan: • The timely, cost effective delivery of sustainable ecological uplift for the purpose of meeting compensatory mitigation requirements. • Link project specific goals to watershed goals as provided in planning documents. • Articulate how the proposed approach or levels of intervention are proportional and optimized. • Demonstrate that the factors of influence and the data streams that are part of the design effort converge (or provide explanation when they don't) to justify the proposed level of intervention. • Define project level goals and objectives. • Provide a pre -restoration baseline to which monitoring data can be compared for the purpose of demonstrating attainment of goals and objectives. Underwood Mitigation Site Page 37 Draft Mitigation Plan • Provide impact and other information necessary to obtain regulatory permits. • Document whether or not the project will result in a rise in flood elevations. • Address how project goals and objectives address stressors identified in watershed characterization section of the plan. 7.2 Mitigation Project Goals and Objectives The Underwood Mitigation Project has been designed to meet the over -arching goals described above. The project will also address multiple watershed stressors that have been documented for both Cane Creek and the Jordan Lake watersheds. The project specific goals include: • Restore and stabilize stream dimensions, pattern, and profile • Establish proper substrate distribution throughout restored and enhanced streams • Improve aquatic and benthic habitat • Reduce nutrient loads within the watershed and to downstream waters • Further improve water quality within the watershed through reductions of sediment, bacteria, and other pollutants • Decrease water temperature and increase dissolved oxygen concentrations • Establish appropriate hydrology for wetland areas • Restore native vegetation to wetlands and riparian buffers/improve existing buffers • Create appropriate terrestrial habitat The design features of this project were developed to achieve multiple project objectives. The stream restoration elements have been designed to frequently flood the reconnected floodplain and adjacent riparian wetlands. This design will provide more frequent dissipation of energy from higher flows (bankfull and above) to improve channel stability; provide water quality treatment through detention, settling, and biological removal of pollutants; and restore a more natural hydrologic regime. Existing, restored, and created wetlands are key components of the design incorporated to better meet goals described above. 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 agradation. • Construct stream channels that maintain riffles with course 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 increase 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. Underwood Mitigation Site Page 38 Draft Mitigation Plan • Raise local groundwater table through raising stream beds and removing agricultural drainage features. • Grade wetland creation areas as necessary to promote wetland hydrology. • Plant native tree species to establish appropriate wetland and floodplain communities and retain existing, native trees were possible. 7.2.1 Designed Channel Classification The design streams and wetlands will be restored to the appropriate type based on the surrounding landscape, climate, and natural vegetation communities but also with strong consideration to existing watershed conditions and trajectory. The project includes stream restoration and enhancement as well as wetland restoration and creation (Figures 11 and 12). The specific proposed stream and wetland types are described below. 7.2.1.1 Designed Channel Classification The stream restoration portion of this project includes five reaches: SF 1: South Fork from approximately 2,600 LF upstream of Clyde Underwood Road to approximately 1,900 feet upstream of Clyde Underwood Road SF3: South Fork from approximately 590 feet downstream of Clyde Underwood Road to approximately 2,000 feet downstream of Clyde Underwood Road SF4: South Fork from approximately 1,400 feet upstream of Moon Lindley Road to Moon Lindley Road SF4A: Unnamed tributary to South Fork including approximately 600 feet at the downstream end of SF4A to the confluence of SF4A with SF4 UT1: Unnamed tributary to South Fork including approximately 400 feet at the downstream end of UT 1 to the confluence of UT 1 with SF3 The project also includes stream enhancement on seven reaches classified as either Enhancement I (EI) or Enhancement II (EII): SF2, EII: South Fork from approximately 320 feet upstream of Clyde Underwood Road to Clyde Underwood Road SF3, EI: South Fork from 152 LF upstream of the end of the reach to the end of the reach SF3, EII: South Fork from Clyde Underwood Road to approximately 590 feet downstream of Clyde Underwood Road SF4A, EI: Tributary to SF4 including approximately 620 feet at the downstream end of SF4A to the confluence of SF4A with SF4 UTI, EII: Unnamed tributary to South Fork from approximately 2000 feet upstream of the confluence of UTI with SF3 to approximately 400 feet upstream of the confluence UT 1 A, EIl: Unnamed tributary to UTI including approximately 520 feet at the downstream end of UT 1 A to the confluence of UT 1 A with UT 1 UT 1 B, EII: Unnamed tributary to UTI including approximately 650 feet at the downstream end of UTIB to the confluence of UTIB with UTI UT2, EI: Unnamed tributary to SF1 from approximately 850 feet upstream of the confluence of UT2 and SF to approximately 390 feet upstream of the confluence Underwood Mitigation Site Page 39 Draft Mitigation Plan All stream restoration and enhancement I reaches included in the design for this project will be constructed as C type streams according to the Rosgen classification system (Rosgen, 1996). Type C streams are slightly entrenched, meandering streams with well- developed floodplains and gentle gradients of 2% or less. They occur within a wide range of valley types and are appropriate for the project landscape. The morphologic design parameters for the restoration and enhancement I reaches (Table 13) fall within the ranges specified for C streams (Rosgen, 1996). However, the specific values for the design parameters were selected based on designer experience and judgment and were verified with morphologic data form reference reach data sets. The width to depth ratio for most of the reaches will be approximately 12. The expectation is that the streams will narrow over time and classify as E stream types in some locations and, therefore, resemble the C/E morphology of the references. A width to depth ratio of 14 was used for SF4 to raise the invert of the restored channel and improve adjacent wetland hydrology. The design channel slopes of the restoration and enhancement I reaches ranged from 0.0034 to 0.0141. Each of the design reaches will be reconnected with the existing floodplain (Priority 1). The restored channels will have entrenchment ratios of greater than 2. The sinuosity for the restored channels will be near 1.2. Underwood Mitigation Site Page 40 Draft Mitigation Plan Table 13a.

The four riparian wetland restoration/creation zones are labeled as RW1, RW2, RW3, and RW4 (Figures 11 and 12). The two non -riparian wetland restoration/enhancement zones are labeled as NRW1 and NRW2 (Figure 11). Soil investigations for the different wetland areas are described in detail in Section 5.3.1. RW1 consists of the floodplain adjacent to UT2. Existing bank height ratios on UT2 range from 1.4 to 1.7 which increases the drainage effect on the surrounding historic wetlands. The drainage effect from the incised stream and the lack of surface water retention in the pasture has impaired wetland hydrology and function. RW 1 will be restored by raising the bed elevation of UT2 which will decrease the drainage effect on the surrounding historic wetlands and restore a natural flooding regime. In -stream structures will be used to raise the channel grade and any unstable banks will be re- graded, seeded, and matted. Wetland areas will be disked to increase surface roughness and better capture rainfall which will improve connection with the water table for groundwater recharge. Furrows will not exceed 6" to 9" in depth. RW2 consists of two nearly adjacent areas. One zone is situated downstream of a farm pond and consists of the floodplain adjacent to an intermittent tributary. The second is immediately downstream within the floodplain of SF 1. Existing bank height ratios on SF 1 range from 1.4 to 1.7 which has increased the drainage effect on the surrounding historic wetlands. The drainage effect from the incised streams and the lack of surface water retention in the pasture has impaired wetland hydrology and function. RW2 will be restored through a combination of grading in the creation zone and raising the bed elevations of SF 1. This will decrease the drainage effect on the surrounding historic wetlands and restore a natural flooding regime. SF1 will be restored through a Priority 1 restoration approach with a bankfull elevation that matches the surrounding floodplain grade. Wetland areas will be disked to increase surface roughness and better capture rainfall which will improve connection with the water table for groundwater recharge. Furrows will not exceed 6" to 9" in depth. RW3 consists of the floodplain adjacent to SF3. Existing bank height ratios on SF3 range from 1.1 at the upstream end to 2.0 at the downstream end. The incised nature of the downstream section increases the drainage effect on the surrounding historic wetlands and non -wetland floodplain. The drainage effect from the incised stream and floodplain drainage ditches and the lack of surface water retention in the pasture has impaired wetland hydrology and function. Vegetation is dominated by fescue and juncus and cattle have access to the entire area. RW3 will be restored and created by a combination of grading in the creation zones and raising the bed elevation of SF3 which will decrease the drainage effect on the surrounding historic wetlands and restore a natural flooding regime. SF3 will be restored through a Priority 1 restoration approach with a bankfull elevation that matches the surrounding floodplain grade. Wetland areas will be disked to increase surface roughness and better capture rainfall which will improve connection with the water table for groundwater recharge. Furrows will not exceed 6" to 9" in depth. Underwood Mitigation Site Page 46 Draft Mitigation Plan The RW3 restoration zone is an area with confirmed hydric soils. Bedrock seams in this area appear to create a subsurface damming effect that pushes groundwater towards the surface, however the drainage effect from the incised SF3 channel and poor surface retention have impacted hydrology. The RW3 creation zone differed from the restoration zone in that soils appeared to have a higher sand content in the upper 12 inches. Signs of standing water or other indicators of surface water were not noted as frequently in this area indicating that infiltration rates are currently higher. Minor excavation of this area will intercept groundwater movement and encourage storage of surface water in this zone. Note: Bedrock should not have an effect on wetland or stream grading. RW4 is situated in the floodplain adjacent to SF4 and SF4A. Bank height ratios on SF4 and SF4A range from 1.4 to 1.8. Incision, in combination with several ditches that have been excavated through the floodplain, has increased the drainage effect on the surrounding historic wetlands. The drainage effects from the incised stream, floodplain ditches, and the lack of surface water retention in the field has impaired wetland hydrology and function. The field is actively maintained in row crop agriculture and has been grazed by cattle in the past. RW4 will be restored and created by a combination of grading in the creation zones, plugging and filling several floodplain ditches, and raising the bed elevation of SF4 and SF4A which will decrease the drainage effect on the surrounding historic wetlands and restore a natural flooding regime. SF4 and SF4A will be restored within RW4 through a Priority 1 restoration approach with a bankfull elevation that matches the surrounding floodplain grade. The creation zones include a mix of minor grading in the Chewacla zones and slightly deeper grading in the Nanford- Badin Complex soil mapping unit. Wetland areas will be disked to increase surface roughness and better capture rainfall which will improve connection with the water table for groundwater recharge. Furrows will not exceed 6" to 9" in depth. NRW 1 is comprised of a farm pond and the valley downstream of the pond draining toward SF 1. The farm pond creates an open water system. Water retained in the pond is subject to high evaporation rates in the summer months which have decreased hydrologic inputs to the wetland system below. The lack of surface water retention in the pasture has impaired wetland hydrology and function. Widely spaced larger trees exist along most of NRW 1. The understory is dominated by fescue and juncus and cattle have access to the entire area. The dam creating the farm pond will be removed, restoring a natural hydrologic regime to the entire wetland area. Wetland areas will be disked to increase surface roughness and better capture rainfall which will improve connection with the water table for groundwater recharge. Furrows will not exceed 6" to 9" in depth. NRW2 is located at the downstream end of a small valley with an ephemeral drainage channel. The channel form is less apparent at the downstream end where water disperses through the flat wetland area. Hydrology does not appear to be altered or manipulated in this non -riparian wetland. Vegetation is dominated by fescue and juncus with some sparse larger trees and cattle have access to the entire area. This wetland will be enhanced by planting native vegetation and by using agricultural disking equipment to increase surface roughness and better capture rainfall which will improve connection with the water table for groundwater recharge. Furrows will not exceed 6" to 9" in depth. Underwood Mitigation Site Page 47 Draft Mitigation Plan 7.2.2 Target Buffer Communities The target communities for the restored and created wetlands and riparian buffer zones will be based on reference conditions, existing mature trees throughout the project area, comparison to vegetation listed for these community types in Shafale and Weakley (1990), and through consultation with native tree suppliers. The main reference site is a Piedmont bottomland forest adjacent to RW4. This reference floodplain wetland is described in more detail in Section 6.0. Existing mature trees within the project area are described in Section 5.4. The species to be planted are described in Section 7.4.2. 7.3 Stream Project and Design Justification Based on assessments of the watershed and existing channels, the designs have been developed to correct incision and lack of pattern caused by channelization, bank instability caused by erosion and livestock access, lack of vegetation in riparian zones, lack of riparian and aquatic habitat, and depletion of hydrology for adjacent wetlands. The existing conditions assessment of the project reaches of South Fork Cane Creek and the tributaries included in the project area indicated that channelization of the streams and livestock operations have resulted in incision and enlargement of the channels. Bank erosion and trampling of the stream banks by livestock is causing lateral erosion and enlargement of the streams. Results from a channel stability assessment indicate that the bank erosion along the project reaches ranges from moderate to severe and results in sediment delivered to downstream waters. The incision and lateral erosion have also resulted in degraded aquatic and benthic habitat, altered hydrology (related to loss of floodplain connection and lowered water table) and reduction of quality and amount of riparian wetlands. The enlargement of the channels has also contributed to water quality problems including lower dissolved oxygen levels (due to wide channels with shallow flow). These conditions exist on many streams throughout the project area including SF1, S173, portions of UTI, SF4, and SF4A. SF2, the upstream portion of UTI, UTIA, and UTIB have less bed and bank erosion but still have localized areas of scour and generally degraded habitat. The riparian buffers on all of these streams have either been removed completely or are severely degraded. The restoration reaches — SF 1, SF3, portions of UT 1, SF4, and SF4A — are all currently unstable. According the Simon channel evolution model (Simon, 1989), the project reaches are at Stage IV — Channel Widening. Bank erosion is occurring and has progressed quite far in many locations. If not for continual livestock access to SF1, SF3, and UTI, lateral erosion would eventually decrease and depositional processes would dictate further changes in channel form. Because of the trampling of the banks, it is impossible to determine the degree to which fluvial erosion of the banks has progressed. However, there is little evidence in the streams that depositional processes have taken over. According to the Rosgen channel type succession model, these streams have progressed from E streams which is the likely natural condition of the streams given the size and regional physiography, to more incised E/G streams and are likely moving towards the wider, incised F type. The next stages in many streams would likely be increased sediment deposition caused by decreased depth of flow and shear stress in the wider channels (Stage V according to Simon's model), eventually creating a small C type channel (or potentially a more narrow E type) with a lower floodplain and base level (Stage VI - Recovery). However, with continued livestock access, the streams will not stabilize. If the livestock were permanently removed and the streams Underwood Mitigation Site Page 48 Draft Mitigation Plan eventually become stable at a lower base level, the floodplains would remain largely unconnected to the stream and the riparian wetlands wouldl not function due to inadequate hydrology. In this situation, even if the riparian buffers were permitted to regrow, the water quality improvements would be greatly reduced. The portions of the project that are planned for enhancement activities are not in as poor condition as the restoration reaches and are not as unstable. However, aquatic, benthic, and riparian habitats are degraded in all of these reaches. Intervention will be required to improve the habitat conditions in all of the project reaches. Livestock will also be excluded from the enhancement reaches in order to prevent further degradation and the potential instability. The objectives described in Section 7.2 were partially developed to deal with the issues described in the paragraphs above. The key factors driving the need for this intervention are: • Without intervention, it is likely that lateral erosion in all of the project reaches will continue for some time contributing a large volume of sediment to downstream waters. • Intervention will be required to restore aquatic, benthic, and riparian habitat. • Treatment of agricultural runoff is needed to reduce nutrient loads and help meet nutrient reduction goals in downstream waters. The restored floodplain and created and restored wetlands will provide both increased flood storage and treatment. • The project will restore and enhance well over a mile of riparian buffers. • The project offers the opportunity to meet many goals established in the NCEEP watershed planning documents described in Section 7.0. 7.3.1 Sediment Transport Analysis A sediment transport analysis was performed for the restoration reaches including UT 1, SF 1, S173, and S174. In general, the analysis was performed to answer two questions: 1) What size bed material particles will become entrained at flows at or near the bankf ill discharge (competence) and 2) Does the stream have the ability to pass the sediment load supplied to it (capacity). The analysis performed for this project addresses both the competence and capacity questions with the information available. Stream competence can be determined through calculations performed with data commonly collected for stream restoration projects. The issue of capacity is much more difficult to analyze due to lack of reliable data on sediment supply for a given stream and, therefore, must often be analyzed qualitatively — unless initial qualitative analysis warrants further field data collection. Two of the four reaches proposed for restoration (SF1, and SF3) were determined to be gravel bed streams through reach wide pebble counts. UTI was classified as a sand bed channel because the diameter of the D50 was 1.0. However, the reach has a significant gravel component and many riffles with coarse bed material including some cobble. SF4 was also determined to be a sand bed stream through reach wide pebble counts. However, further analysis of the current stream dynamics and underlying bed material indicated that this reach would likely has a substrate with a large gravel component. The slope on this reach is lower Underwood Mitigation Site Page 49 Draft Mitigation Plan than the surrounding valley slope due to channelization and maintenance for agricultural purposes. In recent years, beaver have constructed numerous dams that have created backwater conditions. WEI staff removed these dams to conduct existing conditions surveys and sample bed material. The low slope and flow restrictions have resulted in significant deposition of fine bed material overtop of the native material. Coarse riffles were discovered during site reconnaissance and were used for analyzing native pavement and subpavement material. Furthermore, the bed was excavated in several locations that appeared to have bed material comprised of gravel and sand. The slope will be increased in the restored condition and beaver will be managed. The intent is to return this reach to a gravel bed channel. Due to the reasons discussed above, both UTI and SF4were analyzed for sediment transport competence. The existing bed material matrix in all design reaches is comprised of both gravel and sand. Multiple pebble counts and pavement and subpavement samples throughout the project reaches show bimodal distributions of particle size with a larger sand fraction in UT1 and SF4 as discussed above. In gravel bed streams, including bimodal systems, bedload is the dominant component of sediment transport (Wilcock, et al., 2009). Therefore bedload was the focus of this sediment transport analysis. 7.3.1.1 Competence Analysis A competence analysis was performed for each of the design reaches by comparing shear stresses along the channel at the design bankfull discharge with the size distribution of the bed material. A HEC -RAS model was built to represent the proposed conditions of each restoration reach and bankfull shear stresses were calculated with the model at each pool and riffle cross section throughout each restoration reach. In addition, standard equations were used to calculate the critical dimensionless shear stress needed to move the bed material and the depth and slope combination needed to produce that stress. The equations are: (1) ic, = 0.0834(d50/ds50 -0.872 (2) ic, = ds/(ys*Di) (3) d = (i,;*ys*Di)/S where r,i is critical dimensionless shear stress, d50 is median diameter of pavement material, ds50 is median diameter of subpavement material, ys is specific weight of sediment, Di is the largest diameter of subpavement material, d is mean bankfull depth of channel, and S is the water surface slope at bankfull stage. The summary of shear stresses modeled with HEC -RAS shown in Table 14 can be compared with the critical shear stresses obtained from the revised Shields Diagram (Rosgen, 2001), shown in Table 15, to provide a rough estimate of the degree to which shear stress in the proposed stream will be able to move the bed material. As expected, the shear stresses summarized in Table 13 are greater in riffles than pools for each reach. In most cases these ranges of shear stress indicate excess shear stress, or that the largest bed material can be moved at bankfull flow. Note: UT 1 and SF4A were not modeled Underwood Mitigation Site Page 50 Draft Mitigation Plan with HEC -RAS due to the relatively short sections of restoration planned for this tributary. Table 14.

The results of this analysis were compared to channel size and slope from hydraulic calculations based on USGS gage and reference reach discharge analyses (See Section 3.4 for a detailed discussion of design discharge analysis). Calculated critical depth and slope matched design channel depth and slope well within the expected range of error from the sediment transport equations. For instance, Underwood Mitigation Site Page 51 Draft Mitigation Plan hydraulic calculations on SF 1 provided a design mean depth of 0.7 ft while the competence equations calculated critical depth at 0.5 to 0.7 ft. The results of these two competence analyses for all restoration reaches indicated that no adjustment to channel size or slope as designed based on hydraulics was necessary to adequately move sediment through the systems. Table 15. Summary of Dimensionless Critical Shear Stress Calculations Underwood Mitigation Project 'From revised Shields Diagram The results of the competence analyses indicate that the channel will move the bed material at design bankfull flow. While there appears to be excess shear stress, the shear stress values for the riffle features in the design reaches are not uncommonly high. It should be noted that the revised Shields diagram analysis does not directly predict scour but rather provides information that may be used to estimate if and where bed material will be entrained. Secondly, the revised Shields diagram was developed for gravel bed streams that have a consistent bed material particle size (i.e. not bimodal systems with large quantities of sand). Research has shown that bed material that is bimodal with large proportions of both gravel and sand is more difficult to move than bed material that is uniform in size (Wilcock, et al., 2009). Therefore the revised Shields diagram analysis likely under predicts the critical shear stress required to mobilize the bed within the design reaches. However, measures will be taken to prevent significant scour at key locations in the channel, especially riffles. Grade control structures including reinforced constructed riffles, J -hook vanes, and others will be installed during construction at locations were bed scour potential is significant. Natural material revetments such as root wads and brush toe will be used along with bioengineering to prevent bank erosion.

Underwood Mitigation Site Page 52 Draft Mitigation Plan A capacity analysis is necessary to determine if the stream has the ability to pass its sediment load. A capacity analysis is much more difficult to perform and is prone to error. In order to perform the analysis, an estimate of sediment supply must be developed and compared with computation of the stream's ability or capacity to move the load. This analysis was performed for the three main restoration reaches, SF 1, SF3, and SF4 as described below. To begin an analysis of sediment supply a watershed assessment must be performed. WEI staff performed a watershed reconnaissance, reviewed a series of aerial photographs dating back to the 1950's, and reviewed land cover data in order to assess the current condition of the watersheds and identify time periods when the watersheds underwent changes that would affect the sediment load such as development or land clearing. As previously described, land cover within the watersheds has remained essentially the same since sometime prior to the early 1970's. Substantial land clearing was performed between 1951 and 1973, especially affecting the watersheds of SF 1 and SF3. The watersheds of the project streams become more forested and less agricultural progressing in the downstream direction. The watershed of SF 1 is approximately 57 percent farm land while the watersheds of SF3 and SF4 are 52 percent and 39 percent farm land respectively. The majority of the remaining land area in the watersheds is forest. The percent development within the watersheds is five percent for SF and less than 1 percent for SF3 and SF4. There is little sign of recent or ongoing land disturbance in the watersheds. The farm land in the watersheds of SF 1 and SF3 are primarily used for grazing livestock. Some of the land in the SF4 watershed is used for row crops (including the fields adjacent to SF4 and SF4A), however, row crops are limited to certain areas. The vast majority of unbuffered streams are located within the watersheds of SF 1 and SF3 providing some indication that stream stability may be more of a problem in those two watersheds than in the much larger S174 watershed. There are no signs that land disturbance is likely in the near future of these rural watersheds, although some recent clearing was observed downstream of S173. In general the watersheds are stable and vegetated, row cropping and development are limited, and land cover has been largely unchanged for decades. The results of the watershed assessment indicate generally stable watersheds and no reason to expect unusually high sediment supply. Although stream stability is a concern in terms of sediment contributions of SF1 and SF3, no other major sources of sediment have been observed. Limited sediment deposition was observed in the existing channels (for more detail on exiting stream conditions see Section 3) indicating that the existing channels are moving the sediment supplied to them. There is no indication that the deterioration of these channels has been driven by recent watershed disturbances. A threshold channel design approach will therefore be used for each of the restoration reaches. This design approach is based on the concept that the morphology of the channels is not sensitive to sediment supply and channel migration and changes in slopes are not expected or desired. Underwood Mitigation Site Page 53 Draft Mitigation Plan To validate the threshold design approach, a sediment monitoring and modeling analysis was performed for a representative reach. SF3 was chosen as the representative reach because: • The bed material of S174 (important for the calculations) is expected to coarsen after construction of the restoration project while that of S173 (and other reaches) is expected to remain the same. • S173 is more geographically centered in the watershed and is in between SF 1 and SF4 in size. • SF3 has cross sections appropriate for data collection. To perform the analysis, an estimate of the sediment supply was developed and compared that to the sediment transport capacity of the channel restoration designs. A bedload and streamflow monitoring station was established on SF3 to represent the general conditions on the project site. Bedload traps described by Bunte et al. (2007) were used to collect bedload and a current meter and staff gauge were used to collect coupled discharge measurements and stage readings. Several attempts were made to collect bedload samples throughout the data collection phase of the project. At streamflows up to 13 cfs no bedload was collected by the samplers (summer baseflow measurements were as low as 0.04 cfs). Two samples were collected during higher flows as shown in Table 16. Table 16. Summary of SF3 Bedload Data Underwood Mitiaation Proiect Discharge cfs Bedload (g/sec.) 19 0.69 27 1.54 In addition, four bedload transport equations for gravel bed streams were used to compute estimates of bedload transport at design (bankfull) discharge for SF3 (81 cfs) in the existing channel. These equations and the results of the computations of bedload transport at design discharge are listed in Table 17. All of the equations use bed material size distributions, channel cross section and slope, and Manning's n (back calculated from discharge measurements) in the calculations. The equations were run in the U.S. Forest Service's (USFS) spreadsheet program called `Bedload Assessment in Gravel Bed Streams" or BAGS (Pitlick et al., 2009).

(2009) Bedload equations are known to be prone to error and to produce questionable results (Wilcock, 2009). The results shown in Table 17 cover three orders of magnitude and all, with the possible exception of Parker et al. (1982) appear to under predict transport when compared to the bedload samples. However, the results of the equations and the bedload samples provide the best available estimate of sediment supply, assuming that supply is similar to transport (i.e., the channel is not capacity -limited). The HEC -RAS model for SF3 was used to perform a sediment transport capacity analysis for the design flow in the proposed SF3 channel. The Hydraulic Design module of HEC - RAS includes tools to perform multiple hydraulic analyses of proposed designs. Included in these tools is a "Sediment Transport Capacity" function that allows the user to input flow data, bed material data, and cross section and slope data and then choose from a variety of transport equations to analyze transport capacity. For this analysis the three equations most appropriate for the sediment sizes transported through SF3 were selected: Meyer -Peter -Mueller (MPM), Toffaleti, and Yang. Again, these equations are not expected to produce precise results but provide an estimate of the proposed channel's capacity that can be compared to the estimated loads in Tables 16 and 17. The results of the HEC -RAS capacity analysis for SF3 are summarized in Table 18. While the transport capacity results vary throughout the channel, each equation predicts capacity that is a minimum of one order of magnitude (and sometimes several) greater than the highest estimate of supply.

(2003). The results validate WEI's initial assessment conclusions that sediment supply is limited in this watershed and channel capacity is not a determining factor in calculating channel Underwood Mitigation Site Page 55 Draft Mitigation Plan dimensions. The proposed channels will move their sediment loads and any bed adjustments will most likely be in the form of scour. Grade control structures will therefore be a key component of the design. For more information on grade control, see Section 7.4. 7.3.2 HEC -RAS Analysis 7.3.2.1 No -rise, LOMR, CLOMR A flood study for the Underwood project will be completed for the stream restoration work proposed for SF4. This portion of the site includes approximately 1,400 LF of South Fork Cane Creek. This area is mapped as a FEMA Zone AE floodplain on FIRM panel 8784 (Figure 5). The remaining project streams are within Zone X and currently not modeled by FEMA. South Fork Cane Creek was modeled as a limited detailed study. Base flood elevations have been defined, but no floodway is mapped on the FIRM panel. Non -encroachment widths are published in the Chatham County Community 370299 Flood Insurance Study dated February 2, 2007. Preliminary modeling of SF4 indicates the proposed action will result in an increase in the 100 -year base flood elevations, and further study will be required. The effective hydraulic model has been obtained from the NC Floodplain Mapping Program. WEI will model existing and proposed hydraulic conditions on the site for the 100 -year flood event along South Fork. A Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) will be prepared for submittal to the Chatham County local floodplain administrator and the NC Floodplain Mapping Program for approval prior to construction to document the increase in base flood elevations. If completed hydraulic modeling indicates that the elevations will not increase, then a no -rise study will be submitted. Following construction completion, if a CLOMR is required, or if it is apparent that flood elevations will drop by more than 0.1 foot, or non -encroachment widths will change, an as -built survey and Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) will be finalized and submitted to the Chatham County local floodplain administrator and the NC Floodplain Mapping Program. The NCEEP Floodplain Requirements Checklist is included in Appendix 9. 7.3.2.2 Hydrologic Trespass The project will be designed so that any increase in flooding will be contained on the project site and will not extend upstream to adjacent parcels, so hydrologic trespass will not be a concern. The proposed restoration has been designed to transition back to the existing boundary conditions in a gradual manner. 7.4 Site Construction The stream and wetland restoration will be constructed as described in this section. A full set of preliminary design plans are included with this mitigation plan for review. Underwood Mitigation Site Page 56 Draft Mitigation Plan 7.4.1 Site Grading, Structure Installation and Other Project Related Construction 7.4.1.1 The stream restoration elements of the project will be constructed as Priority 1 restoration in which the stream bed is raised so that the bankfull elevation will coincide with the existing floodplain, the cross sections are sized for the design discharge, and the pattern is reconstructed so that the channel meanders through the floodplain. Due to excavation required for the wetland creation zone, the floodplain for the lower 700 LF of SF4 will be lowered. Enhancement I components of the project will involve raising the channel bed and sizing the cross sections appropriately but will not involve altering the existing channel pattern. Enhancement II construction will include bank treatments and stabilization only. The stream reconstruction will result in appropriately sized channels that will meander across the floodplain. The cross-sectional dimensions of the design channels will be constructed to flood the adjacent floodplain and wetlands frequently. The reconstructed channel banks will be built with stable side slopes, planted with native materials, matted, and planted for long-term stability. The sinuous planform of the channel will be built to mimic a natural Piedmont stream. The bedform of the reconstructed gravel bed channels will vary between pools and riffles. Generally the pools will occur in the outside of the meander bends and the riffles in the straight sections of channel between meanders. Riffle -pool sequences such as those that will be built in the new channels are common for gravel bed streams in the Piedmont and provide energy dissipation and aquatic habitat. As a result of the project, the floodplain will be more frequently inundated. Wetland hydrology will be improved as a byproduct of raising the channel bed. Wetland restoration and creation are proposed in areas adjacent to the stream channels. Grading of the floodplain and wetlands will improve or create wetland functions. Site grading is described below. 7.4.1.2 Scaled Schematic of Grading The proposed grading is included in the preliminary design plans but is also shown in Figures 13 and 14. Preliminary estimates of grading on the site include approximately 17,265 cubic yards of cut and 9,692 cubic yards of fill, with a net cut of 7,573 cubic yards. 7.4.1.3 In -Stream Structures and Other Construction Elements Grade control is an important element of the design and many riffles will be constructed with grade control features. These include native gravel/cobble material riffles harvested from the existing channel, native material riffles reinforced with larger quarry stone, boulder and log sills, and cross vanes. Log vanes and log j -hook vanes will be among other in -stream structures constructed along the stream project. These structures will provide additional grade control and will deflect flows away from banks while creating habitat diversity. The channel banks will also be armored with native materials from the site including root wads and brush toe features. These structures and revetments are Underwood Mitigation Site Page 57 Draft Mitigation Plan shown on the preliminary design plans. A mix of log and rock structures will be used on this site due to the occurrence of woody debris and large cobble features found in the existing channels and reference reaches. Two crossings will be installed along the streams in the Upstream Area (with easement breaks) at the request of the landowner. These include a culvert crossing along UTI and a ford crossing along SF3. Additionally, two culvert crossings will be installed outside of the easement boundaries and upstream of the restoration reaches to allow landowner access to adjacent parcels. These crossings will be placed on the restoration reach SF3 upstream of UTI, and the enhancement reach UTI between UT1A and UT1B. Fencing will be installed to keep livestock out of the conservation easements on the Upstream Area properties. There are no livestock on the Downstream Area properties. 7.4.2 Natural Plant Community Restoration 7 4.2.1 Narrative of Plant Community Restoration As a final stage of construction, riparian stream buffers and wetlands will be planted and restored with native trees and herbaceous plants representative of the natural plant community that exists within the project watershed. The natural community within and adjacent to the project easement can be classified as Piedmont bottomland forest (Schafale and Weakley, 1990). The woody and herbaceous species selected are based on this community type, observations of the occurrence of species in the surrounding area, and best professional judgment on species establishment and anticipated site conditions in the early years following project implementation. Permanent herbaceous seed will be placed on stream banks and bench areas and all disturbed areas within the project easement. The stream banks will be planted with live stakes. The riparian buffers and wetland areas will be planted with bare root seedlings. Proposed permanent herbaceous species are shown in Tables 19 and 20.

These species will be planted as bare root and live stakes and will provide additional stabilization to the outsides of constructed meander bends and side slopes. Species planted as bare roots will be spaced at an initial density of 680 plants per acre (8 feet on center). Live stakes will be planted on channel banks at 2 -foot to 3 -foot spacing on the outside of meander bends and 6 -foot to 8 -foot spacing on tangent sections. Point bars will not be planted with live stakes. Targeted densities after monitoring year 3 are 320 woody stems per acre. Proposed tree and shrub species are representative of existing on-site vegetation communities and are typical of Piedmont bottomland forests (Table 21). Table 21.

Monitoring reports will be prepared in the fall of each year of monitoring and submitted to NCEEP. These annual monitoring reports will be based on the NCEEP Monitoring Report Template (version 1.2.1, 12/01/2009). The monitoring period will extend five years for stream and wetland hydrology assessments and seven years for wetland vegetation assessments beyond completion of construction or until performance criteria have been met. 8.1 Streams 8.1.1 Dimension In order to monitor the channel dimension, a total of two permanent cross-sections will be installed along SF 1, five on S173, four on S174, three on S174A, two on UT 1, and two on UT2. Cross-sections will be located at representative riffle and pool sections on each monitored reach. Each cross-section will be permanently marked with pins to establish its location. Cross-section surveys will be performed annually and will include points measured at all breaks in slope, including top of bank, bankf ill, edge of water, and thalweg. 8.1.2 Pattern and Profile A longitudinal profile will be completed for the 5,784 LF of the restoration and enhancement level I reaches (878 LF on SF1, 1,602 LF on SF3, 1,424 LF on SF4, 868 LF on SF4A, 591 LF on UTI, and 421 LF on UT2) immediately post -construction and annually throughout the five year monitoring period. The initial as -built survey will be used for baseline comparisons. Measurements in the survey will include thalweg, water surface, bankfull, and top of low bank. These profile measurements will be taken at the head of each riffle, run, pool, and glide, as well as at the maximum pool depth. The survey will be tied to a permanent benchmark and NC State Plane coordinates. 8.1.3 Photo Documentation Approximately 46 permanent photographs will be established within the project stream and wetland areas after construction. Photographs will be taken once a year to visually document stability for five years following construction. Permanent markers will be established so that the same locations and view directions on the site are monitored each year. Photographs will be used to monitor restoration, enhancement, and creation stream and wetland areas as well as vegetation plots. The photographer will make every effort to maintain the same area in each photo over time. Reference photos will also be taken for each of the vegetation plots and cross-sections. The representative digital photo(s) will be taken on the same day surveys are conducted. 8.1.4 Substrate A reach -wide pebble count will be conducted for classification purposes on each of the restoration and enhancement I reaches (SF1, SF3, SF4, SF4A, UTI, and UT2). Pebble counts will also be conducted on at permanent riffle cross-sections on all restoration and enhancement level I project reaches, for a total of 11 cross-sections. The pebble counts will be done annually and compared with data from previous years. Also, a subpavement sample will be taken at each surveyed riffle to characterize the subpavement particle size distribution. Underwood Mitigation Site Page 60 Draft Mitigation Plan 8.1.5 Bankfull Events Bankfull events will be documented using a crest gauge, photographs, and visual assessments such as debris lines. Seven crest gauges will be installed; one on SF1, one on SF3, one on S174, one on S174A, one on UTI and the other gauge on UT2. The crest gauges will be installed onsite in a riffle cross-section floodplain of the restored channels at a central site location. The gauges will be checked at each site visit to determine if a bankfull event has occurred. Photographs will be used to document the occurrence of debris lines and sediment deposition. 8.2 Vegetation A total of 38 vegetation monitoring plots will be installed and evaluated within the restoration, enhancement, and creation areas to measure the survival of the planted trees. The number of monitoring quadrants required is based on the NCEEP monitoring guidance documents (version 1.0, 11/19/2009). The size of individual quadrants will be 100 square meters for woody tree species and shrubs. Vegetation assessments will be conducted following the Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) Level 2 Protocol for Recording Vegetation (2006). The initial baseline survey will be conducted within 21 days from completion of site planting and used for subsequent monitoring year comparisons. The first annual vegetation monitoring activities will commence at the end of the first growing season, during the month of September. The restoration and enhancement sites will then be evaluated each subsequent year between June 1st and September 31St. Species composition, density, and survival rates will be evaluated on an annual basis by plot and for the entire site. Individual plot data will be provided and will include diameter, height, density, vigor, damage (if any), and survival. Planted woody stems will be marked annually as needed and given a coordinate, based off of a known origin, so they can be found in succeeding monitoring years. Mortality will be determined from the difference between the previous year's living planted stems and the current year's living planted stems. 8.3 Wetlands Groundwater monitoring gauges will be established throughout the wetland restoration, enhancement, and creation areas. Generally, the gauges will be installed at appropriate locations so that the data collected will provide an indication of groundwater levels throughout the wetland project area. 8.4 Schedule The monitoring program described above will be performed on an annual basis. The estimated reporting schedule is shown below in Table 22. Table 22.

Annual monitoring and quarterly site visits will be conducted to assess the condition of the finished project for five years, or until success criteria are met. The stream restoration and enhancement level I reaches (SF1, SF3, SF4, SF4A, UT1, and UT2) of the project will be assigned specific performance criteria components for stream morphology, hydrology, and vegetation. The enhancement level II reaches (SF2, SF3, UTI, and UT1A) will be documented through photographs and visual assessments to verify that no significant degradational changes are occurring in the stream channel or riparian corridor. The wetland restoration, enhancement, and creation sections will be assigned specific performance criteria for hydrology and vegetation. These success criteria are covered in detail as follows. 9.1 Streams 9.1.1 Dimension Riffle cross-sections on the restoration reaches should remain relatively stable; however, due to the sand/silt nature of the substrate throughout the project reaches, fluctuations of the riffle bed elevation over time are expected. These fluctuations should be temporary and will likely correspond to storm events. Riffle cross-sectional ratios (width -to -depth, depth ratio, and bank height ratio) should fall within the parameters defined for channels of the appropriate Rosgen stream type. If persistent changes are observed, these changes will be evaluated to assess whether the stream channel is showing signs of long term instability. Indicators of instability include a vertically incising thalweg or eroding channel banks. Changes in the channel that indicate a movement toward stability or enhanced habitat include a decrease in the width -to -depth ratio in meandering channels or an increase in pool depth. Remedial action would not be taken if channel changes indicate a movement toward stability. 9.1.2 Pattern and Profile Longitudinal profile data for the stream restoration reaches should show that the bedform features are remaining stable. The riffles should be steeper and shallower than the pools, while the pools should be deep with flat water surface slopes. The relative percentage of riffles and pools should not change significantly from the design parameters. Adjustments in length and slope of run and glide features are expected and will not be considered a sign of Underwood Mitigation Site Page 62 Draft Mitigation Plan instability. The longitudinal profile should show that the bank height ratio remains very near to 1.0 for the majority of the restoration reaches. 9.1.3 Photo Documentation Photographs should illustrate the site's vegetation and morphological stability on an annual basis. Cross-section photos should demonstrate no excessive erosion or degradation of the banks. Longitudinal photos should indicate the absence of persistent bars within the channel or vertical incision. Grade control structures should remain stable. Deposition of sediment on the bank side of vane arms is preferable. Maintenance of scour pools on the channel side of vane arms is expected. Reference photos will also be taken for each of the vegetation plots. 9.1.4 Substrate Substrate materials in the restoration reaches should indicate a progression towards or the maintenance of coarser materials in the riffle features and smaller particles in the pool features. 9.1.5 Bank -full Events Two bankfull flow events in separate years must be documented on the project within the five-year monitoring period. Bankfull events will be documented using a crest gage, photographs, and visual assessments such as debris lines. 9.2 Vegetation The final vegetative success criteria will be the survival of 260 planted stems per acre in the riparian corridor along restored and enhanced reaches and within the wetland restoration and creation areas at the end of the required monitoring year (year five or seven). 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 the third monitoring year. The extent of invasive species coverage will also be monitored and controlled as necessary throughout the required monitoring period (year five or seven). 9.3 Wet/ands The final performance criteria for wetland hydrology will be a free groundwater surface within 12 inches of the ground surface for 6.5 percent of the growing season, which is measured on consecutive days under typical precipitation conditions. This success criteria was determined through model simulations of post restoration conditions and comparison to an immediately adjacent existing wetland system. If a particular well does not meet this criteria for a given monitoring year, rainfall patterns will be analyzed and the hydrograph will be compared to that of the reference well to assess whether atypical weather conditions occurred during the monitoring period. 10.0 Site Protection and Adaptive Management Strategy Adaptive measures will be developed or appropriate remedial actions will be implemented in the event that the site or a specific component of the site fails to achieve the success criteria outlined in this report. The project -specific monitoring plan developed during the design phase will Underwood Mitigation Site Page 63 Draft Mitigation Plan identify an appropriate threshold for maintenance intervention based on the monitored items. Any actions implemented will be designed to achieve the success criteria specified previously, and will include a work schedule and updated monitoring criteria. 11.0 References Bunte, K, Swingle, K.W., and Abt, S.R., 2007.

Assign points to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the highest quality.

Channel Sinuosity: Straight _Occasional Bends X Frequent Meander _Very Sinuous _Braided Channel Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the highest quality. Total Score (from reverse): 32 Comments: Evaluator's Signature Date This channel evaluation form is intended to be used only as a guide to assist landowners and environmental professionals in gathering the data required by the United States Army Corps of Engineers in order to make a preliminary assessment of stream quality.

This may include communities of weedy native species that develop after clearcutting or clearing. It also includes communities with exotics present, but not dominant, over a large portion of the expected strata. E C Vegetation severely altered from reference in composition. Expected strata are unnaturally absent or dominated by exotic species or composed of planted stands of non -characteristic species or inappropriately composed of a single species. 16. Vegetative Diversity — assessment area condition metric (evaluate for Non -tidal Freshwater Marsh only) A Vegetation diversity is high and is composed primarily of native species (<10% cover of exotics). B Vegetation diversity is low or has > 10% to 50% cover of exotics. C Vegetation is dominated by exotic species (>50% cover of exotics). C 17. Vegetative Structure — assessment area/wetland type condition metric 17a. Is vegetation present? E Yes C: No If Yes, continue to 17b. If No, skip to Metric 18. 17b. Evaluate percent coverage of vegetation for all marshes only. Skip to 17c for non -marsh wetlands. A >_ 25% coverage of vegetation B < 25% coverage of vegetation 17c. Check a box in each column for each stratum. Evaluate this portion of the metric for non -marsh wetlands. Consider structure in airspace above the assessment area (AA) and the wetland type (WT) separately. AA WT A A Canopy closed, or nearly closed, with natural gaps associated with natural processes B B Canopy present, but opened more than natural gaps C C Canopy sparse or absent A A Dense mid-story/sapling layer B B Moderate density mid-story/sapling layer C C Mid-story/sapling layer sparse or absent A A Dense shrub layer B B Moderate density shrub layer C C Shrub layer sparse or absent A A Dense herb layer B B Moderate density herb layer C C Herb layer sparse or absent 18.

Patterned areas indicate vegetated areas, while solid white areas indicate open water. A B C D 22. Hydrologic Connectivity — assessment area condition metric Evaluate for riverine wetlands only. Examples of activities that may severely alter hydrologic connectivity include intensive ditching, fill, sedimentation, channelization, diversion, man-made berms, beaver dams, and stream incision. E A Overbank and overland flow are not severely altered in the assessment area. B Overbank flow is severely altered in the assessment area. C Overland flow is severely altered in the assessment area. D Both overbank and overland flow are severely altered in the assessment area.

Jenkins, PWS Wildlands Engineering, Inc. 1430 South Mint Street Suite 104 Charlotte, NC 28203 Subject: Underwood Mitigation Site — Chatham County, North Carolina. Dear Mr. Jenkins: Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission have reviewed the subject information. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d) and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.). The proposed project includes restoration of a degraded stream channel and wetland creation and restoration along South Fork Cane Creek and its tributaries. South Fork Cane Creek is a tributary to Cane Creek in the Cape Fear River basin. There are records for the federal species of concern and state endangered Carolina creekshell (Villosa vaughaniana), the state special concern notched rainbow (Villosa constricta), and the state significantly rare Eastern creekshell (Villosa delumbis) in Cane Creek. Stream and wetland restoration projects often improve water quality and aquatic habitat. We recommend establishing native, forested buffers in riparian areas to protect water quality, improve terrestrial habitat, and provide a travel corridor for wildlife species. Provided natural channel design methods are used and measures are taken to minimize erosion and sedimentation from construction/restoration activities, we do not anticipate the project to result in significant adverse impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources. Thank you for the opportunity to review this proposed project. If we can provide further assistance, please contact our office at (336) 449-7625. Sincerely, Shari L.
