EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Underwood Mitigation Project site is located in northwestern Chatham County
approximately 5 miles northeast of Siler City. 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.

This document is consistent with the requirements of the federal rule for compensatory
mitigation project sites as described in the Federal Register Title 33 Navigation and
Navigable Waters Volume 3 Chapter 2 Section 332.8 paragraphs (c) (2) through (c) (14).
Specifically the document addresses the following requirements of the federal rule:
(2) Objectives. A description of the resource type(s) and amount(s) that will be
provided, the method of compensation (i.e., restoration, establishment,
enhancement, and/or preservation), and the manner in which the resource
functions of the compensatory mitigation project will address the needs of the
watershed, Ecoregion, physiographic province, or other geographic area of
interest.
(3) Site selection. A description of the factors considered during the site selection
process. This should include consideration of watershed needs, onsite alternatives
where applicable, and the practicability of accomplishing ecologically self-
sustaining aquatic resource restoration, establishment, enhancement, and/or
preservation at the compensatory mitigation project site. (See §332.3(d))
(4) Site protection instrument. A description of the legal arrangements and
instrument, including site ownership, that will be used to ensure the long-term
protection of the compensatory mitigation project site (see §332.7(a)).
(5) Baseline information. A description of the ecological characteristics of the
proposed compensatory mitigation project site and, in the case of an application
for a DA permit, the impact site. This may include descriptions of historic and
existing plant communities, historic and existing hydrology, soil conditions, a
map showing the locations of the impact and mitigation site (s) or the geographic
coordinates for those sites (s), and other site characteristics appropriate to the type
of resource proposed as compensations. The baseline information should also
include a delineation of waters of the United States on the proposed compensatory
mitigation project site. A prospective permittee planning to secure credits from
an approved mitigation bank or in -lieu fee program only needs to provide baseline
information about the impact site, not the mitigation bank or in -lieu fee project
site.
Underwood Mitigation Site
Draft Mitigation Plan
Page iv
(6) Determination of credits. A description of the number of credits to be provided,
including a brief explanation of the rationale for this determination (see
§332.3(f)).
(7) Mitigation work plan. Detailed written specifications and work descriptions for
the compensatory mitigation project; construction methods, timing, and sequence;
source(s) of water, including connections to existing waters and uplands; methods
for establishing the desired plant community; plans to control invasive plant
species; the proposed grading plan, including elevations and slopes of the
substrate; soil management; and erosion control measures. For stream
compensatory mitigation projects, the mitigation work plan may also include
other relevant information, such as plan form geometry, channel form (e.g. typical
channel cross sections), watershed size, design discharge, and riparian area
plantings.
(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))

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 -

The Upstream Area of the Underwood mitigation project is located within three tracts of land.
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.

2.4 Historical Land Use and Development Trends
The Cape Fear 0303002 includes developing areas such as the cities of Greensboro, Durham,
Burlington, and Chapel Hill as well as the I-40/1-85 transportation corridor. 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).

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).

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."

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.

*Reaches UTI, SF4, and SF4a are classified as sand bad channels under the Rosgen classification system based on
the D50. 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 downstream end of the project is located on a separate parcel referred to in this report as the
Downstream Area. 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.

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.

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

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).

3.5 Channel Morphology
Existing conditions channel morphology surveys were performed to document the current
condition of the streams on the Underwood site and to provide a basis for the design. 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.

3.8 Bankfull Verification
Bankfull stage indicators on the project streams were few and difficult to identify due to incision
of the channels and trampling of the banks by livestock. 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

assessment, WEI staff identified the best available bankfull indicators and surveyed cross

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

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.

4.2 Reference Streams Vegetation Community Types Descriptions
Stream vegetation communities will be similar to those of Long Branch and UT to Cane Creek.
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

4.2 Reference Streams Vegetation Community Types Descriptions
Stream vegetation communities will be similar to those of Long Branch and UT to Cane Creek.
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.

5.3 Soil Characterization
An investigation of the existing soils within the wetland restoration/enhancement/creation areas
was performed by WEI staff between October, 2010 and May, 2011. 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.

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.

7.2.1.2 Designed Wetland Type
The proposed stream and wetland restoration project includes six distinct wetland zones.
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

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

with HEC -RAS due to the relatively short sections of restoration planned for this
tributary.

Critical depth and slope combinations were calculated for each design reach using
equations 1 through 3 above. 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

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.

Shear Stress Calculations

'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. In -
stream structures and revetments are shown on the design plans.

7.3.1.2 Capacity Analysis
The competence analysis described above only provides an estimate of the necessary
shear stress and related slope and flow depth needed to move the existing bed material.
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.

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).

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.

In general, the sediment transport analyses described in this section confirm that the
project streams are threshold channels as described Sheilds, et al. (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

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.

Individual tree and shrub species will be planted throughout the project easement
including stream banks, benches, tops of banks, and floodplains zones. 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).

8.0 Monitoring Plan
Using the EEP Baseline Monitoring Plan Template (version 1.0. 11/19/2009), a baseline

completion and monitoring installation on the project site. 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.

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.

9.0 Performance Criteria
The stream restoration success criteria for the project site will follow approved performance
criteria presented in the NCEEP Mitigation Plan Template (version 1.0, 11/20/2009) and the
Stream Mitigation Guidelines issued in April 2003 by the USACE and NCDWQ. 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.

24. Channel Sinuosity: X Straight _Occasional Bends _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): 45 Comments:

This channel evaluation foy& 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. The total score resulting from the completion of this form is subject to USACE approval and does not imply a
particular mitigation ratio or requirement. Form subject to change — version 05/03. To Comment, please call 919-876-8441 x 26.

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.

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.

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. Bryant
