The restoration and enhancement work will involve changes to the streams' current dimensions at ' tern, and profile. Because of surrounding agricultural land use. streams in the area have generally been straightened and channeliz d. The r .storation design utilizes morphological data from the reference reach, piedmont rural regional curves. regime equations, and the existing channel morphology. The reference reach lies along a perennial stream which is immediately north of the restoration site and is confluent with the one of the perennial streams to be restored. Invasive vegetation will be removed from the riparian zones and replaced with native species. Selection of native species is based on published vegetation guidelines and native species lists for the Piedmont region. cc: Regional Office Central Office Page Number 2 O?0,?

Mitigation DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial streams. Page 9 of 12 USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include, but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar functions and values, preferable in the same watershed. If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgi,de.litm1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet) of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view, preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach a separate sheet if more space is needed. The mitigation plan is attached with the PCN per your request. The project area has been designated as a conservation easement in perpetuity to allow for permanent restoration effort s. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htin.

This form is also to be used for any project requiring approval under any Riparian Buffer Rules implemented by the N.C. Division of Water Quality. This form should not be used if you are requesting an Individual 404 Permit or Individual 401 Water Quality Certification. The USACE Individual Permit application form is available online at http:Hwivw.saw.usace.arniv.niiI/wetlands/Penn app.htm. The USACE is the lead regulatory agency. To review the requirements for the use of Nationwide, Regional or General permits, and to determine which permit applies to your project, please go to the USACE website at littp://wivAv.saw.usace.annv.miI/wetlands/reatour.htm, or contact one of the field offices listed on page 3 of this application. The website also lists the responsible project manager for each county in North Carolina and provides additional information regarding the identification and regulation of wetlands and waters of the U.S. The DWQ issues a corresponding Certification (General or Individual), and cannot tell the applicant which 401 Certification will apply until the 404 Permit type has been determined by the USACE. Applicants are encouraged to visit DWQ's 401/Wetlands Unit website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands to read about current requirements for the 401 Water Quality Certification Program and to determine whether or not Riparian Buffer Rules are applicable. The applicant is also advised to read the full text of the General Certification (GC) matching the specific 404 Permit requested. In some cases, written approval for General Certifications is not required, provided that the applicant adheres to all conditions of the GC. Applicants lacking access to the internet should contact DWQ's Central Office in Raleigh at (919) 733-1786. Trout Waters Coordination - Special coordination with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) is required for projects occurring in any of North Carolina's twenty-five counties that contain trout waters. In such cases, the applicant should contact the appropriate NCWRC regional coordinator (listed by county on page 4 of this application). Page 1 of 12 Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Coordination - If the project occurs in any of North Carolina's twenty coastal counties (listed on page 4) the applicant should contact the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (DCM). DCM will determine whether or not the project is within a designated Area of Environmental Concern, in which case DCM will act as the lead permitting agency. In such cases, DCM will require a CAMA Permit and will coordinate the 404/401 Permits. The applicant may also choose to coordinate with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to ensure that the proposed project will have no impact upon any endangered or threatened species or critical habitat as regulated by the Endangered Species Act, and the State Historic Preservation Office, North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources to ensure that the proposed project will have no impact upon any properties listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Compliance with these regulations is required to be eligible for any Department of the Army permit. The addresses for both agencies are listed on page 3 of this application. USACE Permits - Submit one copy of this form, along with supporting narratives, maps, data forms, photos, etc. to the applicable USACE Regulatory Field Office.

If written approval is required or specifically requested for a 401 Certification, then a non-refundable application fee is required. In brief, if project impacts include less than one acre of cumulative wetland/water impacts and less than 150 feet cumulative impacts to streams, then a fee of $200 is required. If either of these thresholds is exceeded, then a fee of $475 is required. A check made out to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, with the specific name of the project or applicant identified, should be stapled to the front of the application package. For more information, see the DWQ website at http://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/fees.iitm1. The fee must be attached with the application unless the applicant is a federal agency in which case the check may be issued from a separate office. In such cases, the project must be identifiable on the U.S. Treasury check so that it can be credited to the appropriate project. If written approval is sought solely for Buffer Rules, the application fee does not apply, and the applicant should clearly state (in a cover letter) that only Buffer Rule approval is sought in writing. Wetlands or waters of the U.S. may not be impacted prior to issuance or waiver of a Section 401 Water Quality Certification. Upon receipt of a complete application for a 401 Certification, the Division of Water Quality has 60 days to prepare a written response to the applicant. This may include a 401 Certification, an on-hold letter pending receipt of additional requested information, or denial.

identified as potential stream ® restoration areas. The tributaries are located on two adjoining properties 5.5 miles west of Liberty, ® North Carolina on Old Liberty Road (Figure 1). The 28-acre Henry property (Rising Meadows 40 Farm) contains the upper 1,000 feet of an unnamed tributary and two wetland seeps. The 20-acre Williams property (Williams Farm) contains the lower 870 feet of this unnamed tributary, 290 feet of another small unnamed tributary that flows from a pond, 450 feet of a larger unnamed tributary that flows onto the property from the north (Figure 2), and a wetland seep. The total existing length ® of the streams identified for restoration is 2,590 feet. 411 4111 2.0 Goals and Objectives ® This project has the following goals and objectives (See Attached Restoration Plan - Key Sheet for ® location of each "reach"): ® Restore Reach One (pattern, dimension, and profile) of the unnamed tributary flowing ® through both the Rising Meadows Farm and Williams Farm, and Reach Two of the larger unnamed tributary (2,220 feet) ¦ Restore the Pond Tributary (pattern, dimension, and profile) flowing into Reach One on the Williams Farm (370 linear feet proposed, 295 linear feet existing). ® Exclude livestock from stream and riparian buffer through fencing and controlled stable ® crossings. ¦ Protect areas with conservation easement ® 3.0 Site Identification and Location !d ® 3.1 Site Location ® The project site is located adjacent to Old Liberty Road (SR 2261), approximately 5.5 miles west of ® Liberty, Randolph County, North Carolina (Figure 1). Approximately 2,750 linear feet of stream is proposed for restoration. The project area is located on two adjoining properties. A USGS 1:24,000 ® quad map showing the location of the site and watershed is provided in Figure 2. ® 3.2 Watershed Classification ® The project watershed (Figure 3), with its outlet point located at the downstream terminus of the ® project stream, lies in the northern central portion of the NCDENR-Division of Water Quality ® (DWQ) Cape Fear River Subbasin 03-06-09 and the central western portion of United States ® Geological Service (USGS) 14-digit Cataloging Unit # 03030003020010 that makes up a portion of the USGS Deep River Sub-basin (03030003) and Cape Fear Basin. Reach Two, a third-order stream, ® receives flow from three primary tributaries that have headwaters positioned between 1.4 to 3.2 miles upstream of the project reach. Reach Two flows into Sandy Creek one mile downstream of the ® southern project boundary. ® 4 0 Kimley-Horn ® ® and Associates, Inc. EZ3 3.3 Surface Waters Classification All project streams flow into Sandy Creek (WS I11), a designated Water Supply stream. DWQ ® classifies Water Supply III streams as supplying water in generally low to moderately developed watersheds. Sandy Creek supplies water to the town of Ramseur, and DWQ has designated Sandy 49 Creek a critical area about 5.5 miles downstream of the project area north of NC 22. a 4 4D ID 4D 49 4D S S S 4D 49 ID 49 49 49 49 49 49 40 4D 4D 40 40 49 4.0 Watershed 4.1 Watershed Drainage The project watershed drains approximately 4.2 square miles of mostly agricultural and forested land of the southern outer piedmont (Figures 3 and 4). Valley slope values between 0.3% and 0.5% typify the topography of the project watershed. The project reach mostly lies within a broad valley floodplain spreading from 150 to 200 feet in width. However, some areas of valley constriction have floodplain widths less than 50 feet. Pastures actively grazed by cattle and sheep dominate the landscape surrounding the project streams. A thin (less than 10 feet) strip of woody vegetation buffers a single side of Reach One and Reach Two at two distinct portions of the project. The watershed for Reach One, a tributary to Reach Two, drains 0.8 square miles of forest and farmland. The headwaters form approximately 1.5 miles northwest of the project reach. Table 1 Draina a Areas Reach Draina a Areas . mi. Reach One at Williams Dairy Road 0.8 Reach Two (downstream end of project at property line) 4.2 Pond Tributary, at confluence with Reach One 0.05 4.2 Soils of the Watershed Most of the upper watershed consists of Vance-Cecil-Appling soils-described as gently sloping to steep, well-drained soils that have a loamy surface layer and predominantly clayey subsoil. These soils often lie atop broad ridges on convex summits and side slopes and form from the weathering of felsic high-grade metamorphic or igneous rocks. Within the Vance-Cecil-Appling soils, Helena soils are positioned near the heads of drainage ways. Near the bottom of the watershed, Chewacla loam soils are located within the floodplains. Chewacla loam soils are described in section 5.2. 4.3 Land Use of the Watershed Agriculture (farmland and pasture) and forest dominate the land use within the project watershed. Forested areas buffer most of the drainages in the watershed except for the project reaches and approximately 5,000 linear feet of headwater streams. The table below shows the distribution of land use within the project watershed. Table 2 Land Use of the Watershed p'1 = ? Kimley-Horn [?! and Associates, Inc. Land Use . Acreage Percentage Transitional 21 1% Deciduous Forest 1186 44% Evergreen Forest 170 6% Mixed Forest 171 6% Pasture/Ha 787 29% Row Crops 342 13% 4.4 Future Land Use There was no visible evidence that land uses were changing in the watershed. Based on conversations with the Williams family and the Henrys (Rising Meadows Farm), the project site is expected to continue being used as it is today, except for those changes proposed as part of this restoration project. 5.0 Existing Conditions 5.1 Existing Hydrological Features 5.1.1 Streams The upper portion of Reach One flows through Rising Meadows Farm into the lower portion of Reach One within the Williams Farm (See Restoration Plan Sheets). The lower portions of Reach One, Reach Two, and the Pond Tributary flow through the Williams Farm. Within both properties, cattle and/or sheep graze the land with full access to the stream channel and banks. Existing groundwater-supplied stations can supply drinking water to cattle and sheep in locations scattered throughout the grazing areas. 5.1.2 FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) produced by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) designate the floodplains surrounding Reach One and Reach Two as Zone A - areas of 100-year flood where base flood elevations and flood hazard factor have not been determined. 5.1.3 Wetlands Three separate wetland seeps currently exist on the project site. Two are located on the Rising Meadows Farm and one on the Williams Farm. These wetlands are referred to in this report as Wetlands 1, 2, and 3 (See Restoration Plan). These existing wetlands total approximately 0.84 acres. Cattle currently have access to all three wetlands. This access reduces the variety of wetland vegetation. It is also likely that the incised stream channel is having an adverse affect on the groundwater table in these wetlands and is affecting the frequency of out of bank flooding. Wetland delineation forms are contained in Appendix A. 1 72- 6 0 Kimley-Horn l ® and Associates, Inc. 0 5.2 Soils 49 Chewacla loam soils cover the floodplain of the Williams Farm and the eastern portion of Rising 49 Meadows Farm (Figure 5). The Chewacla soil series typically cover Piedmont streams and drainage 19 ways with relatively low slopes and frequent flooding. Chewacla loams have a very deep soil profile, somewhat poor drainage, moderate permeability, and a very shallow depth to the season high water table. Because of associated wetness and flooding, Chewacla loams poorly support crops, pasture, or 49 urban development. The Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) considers Chewacla loam a 49 hydric soil (NRCS 1995). The Chewacla floodplain should support efforts to restore stream stability. Vance soils lie within the stream valley of the remaining portion of Rising Meadows Farm. Vance ® soils typically reside on gently sloping narrow and broad ridges and sloping to moderately steep side slopes in the Piedmont. Vance soils are well drained with slow permeability. 5.3 Terrestrial Plant Communities NRCS aerial photography shows that the riparian buffers along Reach One and Reach Two have had ® a slight increase in woody vegetation since the late 1930s. An aerial photo taken in 1937 shows no 4D discernable buffers along the stream corridors. Successive aerials taken in 1966, 1986, 1993, and ® 2003 show discontinuous and sparsely wooded riparian buffer (Figure 3a). ® In areas where continuous woody buffers exist, the buffers extends only 5 to 10 feet off the top of ® both the left and right banks. Typical plants found within the buffers include: ® Canopy ¦ Chinese privet (Ligustrann sinese) ® ¦ Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) Hackberry (Celtis spp.) ¦ Black walnut (Juglans nigra) Ground cover ¦ Orange jewelweed (Inipatiens capensis) ¦ Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) 4D ¦ Microstegium (Microstegium vintinewn) ® Active pastures featuring fescue (Festuca spp.), smartweed (Polygonum spp.), and cocklebur ® (Xanthiunt struntarium) dominate much of the riparian buffer. Pockets of soft-stem rush (Juncus ® effuses) and sedges (Carex spp.) also occur within the pasture. ® 5.4 Rare and Protected Species ® During the feasibility study (January 2002), the previous consultant searched the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) websites and identified two federally endangered species residing in Randolph County, North Carolina: the Cape Fear. Shiner (Notropis mekistrocholas) and Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii). Based on comments from the North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission (NCWRC) and habitat requirements, the previous consultant determined that stream work within the project area should have NO EFFECT on either the Cape Fear Shiner or the Schweinitz's sunflower. NCDOT provided ® biological surveys in the project corridor. According to the January 29, 2003 USFWS internet 7 l PJ KimleyHorn 0 and Associates, Inc. listing, no additional federally endangered or threatened species have been listed since the completion of the feasibility study. The following table shows federal species of concern listed in Randolph County, North Carolina (NCNHP database: updated May 2003). Federal species of concern are not afforded federal protection under the Endangered Species Act and are not subject to any of its provisions, including Section 7, until they are formally proposed or listed as Threatened or Endangered. The previous consultant did not identify habitat for any of the species within the project area. Table 3 Species of Concern - Randolph County Common Name Scienti Federal.

Per NCWRC's recommendation, the mussels will be removed from the channel reaches to be restored and placed in the on-site reach that will not be modified. This should be done prior to construction. 5.5 Stream Geomorphology Field surveys of the existing stream channels and surrounding floodplain were conducted from March 2003 to May 2003 (See Appendix B). Cross sections and longitudinal profiles were taken along Reach One, Reach Two, and the Pond Tributary at varying locations (see Restoration Plan - Key Sheet). Pebble counts, bar samples, and subpavement samples were also taken in each reach. Field data collected was sufficient for Rosgen Level II classification. e Kimley-Horn 0 ® and Associates, Inc. w While conducting the stream survey, observations of existing stream and riparian buffer conditions were noted. Rack lines, high water marks, bedrock, locations of scour, culvert conditions, wetland seeps, cattle crossings, and any other unique stream or floodplain features were noted. The proposed' stream channels for restoration are best described as three separate reaches (see Restoration Plan - Key Sheet): ¦ Reach One consists of the unnamed tributary beginning at the double culverts (Photo 1) under SR 2450 (Williams Dairy Road) at Rising Meadows Farm, continuing to its confluence with the larger stream on the Williams Farm. • Reach Two begins at the confluence of Reach One with the larger stream and extends south to the Williams Farm property boundary. ¦ A tributary connecting a pond (located on Rising Meadows Farm) to Reach One is referred to in this report as the Pond Tributary. Reach One and Reach Two are incised sand bed channels with low sinuosity. Their average slope is 0.4 % except for a section of channel located near the property line between the Rising Meadows Farm and the Williams Farm properties in Reach One. Bedrock in this reach is preventing a head cut from moving upstream but it has increased the local slope to 1.9 %. The bankfull width along the length of Reach One varies from 8.7 feet to 18.6 feet, and the mean bankfull depth varies from 1.1 feet to 1.4 feet. The bankfull depth of Reach Two is 2.3 feet, and the bankfull width is 14.4 feet. The Pond Tributary is a sand bed channel with low sinuosity and a channel slope of 0.9 %. This reach has an existing bankfull width of 4.7 feet and a mean bankfull depth of 0.7 feet. Representative cross sections were taken at riffles along the project reaches. Four cross sections were taken on Reach One, one on Reach Two, and one on the Pond Tributary (See Appendix B). In the methodology used for this report, bank height ratios between 1.1 and 1.3 are regarded as "moderately unstable," ratios between 1.3 and 1.5 as "unstable," and bank height ratios greater than 1.5 are "highly unstable." Low width/depth ratios (XS 1, XS3, and XS6) signify high shear stresses. The table below summarizes the data obtained from the cross sections taken. (See Figure 5 for cross section locations.)

The following describes the current characteristics of the existing reaches (See Appendix B - Existing Conditions Data and Appendix C - Morphology Characteristics): KI ] Kimley-Horn I ® and Associates, Inc. ¦ The upper half of Reach One (on Rising Meadows Farm) has a bankfull width varying from ® 8.7 to 14.8 feet, a mean depth of 1.4 feet, and cross sectional area varying from 12.3 to 20.5 square feet. Most of this reach classifies as an incised E channel. The upstream end of this reach has a bank height ratio of 1.5 and appears to be transitioning to a G channel. The two ® culverts at the upstream end of this reach are perched approximately 1 foot above the plunge ® pool water surface. ¦ The lower half of Reach One (on the Williams Farm) has a bankfull width of 18.6 feet, a ® mean bankfull depth of 1.1 feet, and a bankfull cross sectional area of 21.2 square feet. This ® channel classifies as a C channel but, with a bank height ratio of 1.7, it appears to be transitioning to an F channel. ¦ Reach Two has a bank-full width of 14.4 feet, a mean bankfull depth of 2.3 feet, and a bankfull cross sectional area of 33.1 square feet. A bank height ratio of 1.6 signifies that this channel is significantly incised. This reach of the channel classifies as an E channel but is not far from classifying as a G channel. ¦ The Pond Tributary has a bankfull width of 4.7 feet, a mean bankfull depth of 0.7 feet, and a cross sectional area of 3.3 square feet. Bank height ratios on this reach are typically 1.6. This channel classifies as an incised E channel but has down-cut almost to the point of being a G channel. 6.0 Restoration Studies 6.1 Stream Restoration Studies 6.1.1 Reference Streams The reference reach for this project is located on an upstream segment of the larger channel that flows onto the Williams Farm from the east. The reference is located on the Amick Property within the Cape Fear River Basin and Southern Outer Piedmont physiographic region. The reference is classified as an E4 channel and has a drainage area of approximately 0.97 square miles (Figures 3 and 4). Land uses in the watershed for this channel appear to be approximately 50% agriculturale, 40% forested, and 10% residential. The bankfull width of the reference channel is 12.1 feet and its average water surface slope is 0.58%. This channel has a bank height ratio of 1.0 and an entrenchment ratio of 6.6. The reference reach information was provided by NCDOT and field verified by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (KHA). This reference reach has previously been used by NCDOT in a mitigation plan and has been approved by DWQ (Dave Penrose). The detailed morphology and dimensionless ratios of the reference channel are located in Appendix C. I&W 6.2 Wetiand Restoration Studies ® The EEP decided that insufficient potential wetland resources exist to pursue purposefully wetland restoration or enhancement. However, it is anticipated that the activities associated with the stream restoration will strengthen the wetland hydrology and create opportunity for the existing wetlands to re-vegetate and possibly expand. 10 p'1=3 VJ KimleyHorn ®J 0 and Associates, Inc. 49 u ® 6.3 Reference Vegetation ® The reference vegetation communities for the streams were noted to develop the vegetative plan for ® the project. This information was supplemented with North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement ® Program (EEP) and other published vegetation guidelines and native species list for the Piedmont. The attached Restoration Plan contains the detailed vegetation plan. ® 7.0 Restoration Plan ® The design of the proposed channel reaches involved utilizing the morphological data from the reference reach, piedmont rural regional curves, regime equations, and the existing channel morphology. Stable reaches of the existing channel were considered in designing the proposed channel. These parameters were used in determining the proper dimension, pattern, and profile of the proposed channels. The morphological data collected has been summarized in Appendix D. ® 7.1 Bankfull Verification The North Carolina Piedmont Rural Regional Curves were used to check bankfull dimensions (width, depth, and cross-sectional area) determined from the existing condition geomorphic survey. In addition, the regional curves were used as a base to establish a range of design discharges since the site is ungauged. A local curve showing the relationship between channel dimensions and drainage areas was developed using data from the reference reach discussed in section 6.1. The ® bankfull dimensions for the design were derived by comparing the regional curves, reference reach ® curve, and bankfull dimensions of stable reaches of the existing channels. The bankfull mean depth was verified by the use of entrainment calculations and Shields curve as being able to move particle ® sizes taken from the sub-pavement. The cross-sectional area of the reference reach is plotted on the Rural Piedmont Regional Curve of North Carolina developed by North Carolina State University (NCSU) Water Quality Group, 2000 (Figure 6). ® 7.2 Stream Restoration (Restoration Plan is attached) Stream restoration is proposed to restore the impaired stream channel's dimension, pattern, and ® profile. Reconnecting the channel with its abandoned floodplain will increase the frequency of over- bank flooding, increase hydrology to the riparian wetland seeps, and reduce shear stress, thus increasing stability. The proposed channels will have banks constructed at a 3:1 slope to ensure stability until deep ® rooted vegetation can become established. To ensure proper bed width using these slopes, the ® proposed channels for this project are C Type channels. Increasing sinuosity on all channels ® proposed for restoration will decrease average stream slopes and will provide the proper pool and riffle sequencing found in natural reference stream systems. Bed material samples were taken, and sediment transport calculations were performed to ensure that the proper profile was designed for the channel dimensions proposed. ® 7.2.1 Dimension The upper portion of Reach One classifies as an incised E Type channel. The proposed stable ® bankfull area was determined to be 20.5 square feet. Using this cross sectional area, a channel was EZ3 Kim'eyHorn E ® and Associates, Inc. designed with a width/depth ratio of 15 (Figure 7a). The current width of the channel varies from 8.7 to 14.8 feet. The proposed channel width is 17.5 feet. The lower portion of Reach One (on the Williams Farm) classifies as an incised C Type channel. The proposed stable bankfull area was determined to be 20.7 square feet. Using this cross sectional area, a channel was designed with a width/depth ratio of 15 (Figure 7b). The current width of the channel is 18.6 feet. The proposed channel width is 17.5 feet. Reach Two classifies as an incised E Type channel. The proposed stable bankfull area was 40 determined to be 40 square feet. Using this cross sectional area, a channel was designed with a ® width/depth ratio of 15 (Figure 7c). The current width of the channel is 14.4 feet. The proposed channel width is 24.5 feet. The Pond Tributary classifies as an incised E Type channel. The proposed stable bankfull area was determined to be 3.5 square feet. Using this cross sectional area, a channel was designed with a width/depth ratio of 15 (Figure 7d). The current width of the channel is 4.7 feet. The proposed channel width is 7.3 feet. 7.2.2 Pattern Sinuosity was increased to the extent possible on the proposed channels (see attached plans). The limiting factor in increasing sinuosity is a narrow valley in some locations and existing wetlands bordering the streams. The proposed sinuosity of the channels allows the proper pool to pool spacing and riffle locations restored improving aquatic habitat. The proposed sinuosity provides the appropriate slope to transport the material coming into the reach so the channel does not significantly aggrade or degrade. 7.2.3 Bedform The bedform is based on the data obtained from the reference reach and will incorporate the rural piedmont regional curves and regime equations. The bedform of the proposed channels is made up of properly spaced riffle and pool features. The pools will be located in the outside of meander bends with riffles located between the pools in the tangent portions of the channel. Glides and runs will connect the pools and riffles. In-stream structures will be used to provide grade control, ensure stable bed and bank features, and maintain the overall design slope (See Appendix C, Morphology Characteristics). 7.2.4 Structures In-stream structures will be used to protect stream banks, increase aquatic habitat diversity and provide grade control. The types of structures incorporated into the restoration project include rock cross vanes, root wads, and log vanes. Root-wads will be used only for the purpose of providing habitat and their use will be kept to a minimum. A double rock cross vane (`A' Vane) with a step pool is proposed at the outlet of the culverts under Williams Dairy Road. This structure will be designed to eliminate the perched conditions of the culvert and restore natural aquatic passage upstream of Williams Dairy Road. A sill is proposed in one of the two culverts to achieve normal flow depth through the remaining culvert. 2 0 Kimley-Horn =3 ® and Associates, Inc. 7.2.5 Fencing and Watering Systems In order to protect the stream, riparian buffers, and wetlands from cattle, fencing will be provided along the perimeter of the conservation easement. Two cattle crossings (See Restoration Plan for Typical) are required to ensure connectivity of the remaining farmland. The conservation easement will contain a minimum buffer of 50 feet on each side of the streams (measured from the proposed stream banks) and will encompass the existing wetland seeps and other wetlands. An exception to this is on the Williams Farm where the left side of the proposed channel will only have a 30-foot buffer for 470 feet. This modified buffer was requested by the property owner in order to reduce the amount of land taken by the easement on this side of the channel. This reduced easement was supported by the agencies at the November 6, 2001, on-site meeting (See Appendix D). The fencing will protect approximately 10.4 acres of conservation easement. Approximately 6,100 linear feet of fencing will be required. An alternate water supply will be required for livestock on the Williams Farm. Rising Meadow Farm will not require the installation of a watering system. The Williams Farm will require drilling a well since there are none on the site. A pump, watering troughs, piping, and source of electricity are required to provide an alternate water supply. It is proposed that EEP will pay the property owner or NRCS to install the watering systems. 7.3 Sediment Transport to A stable stream channel should be capable of transporting its sediment load without aggrading or 49 degrading. Shear stress calculations were used to verify that the designed channel would be able to transport its bedload. The two physical characteristics of the channel design which affect the shear stress on the channel bed are the slope of the channel and its hydraulic radius. 45 40 4D 40 ID i = yRs Where: 2= shear stress (lb/ft2) y = specific gravity of water (62.4 lb/ft) R = hydraulic radius (ft) s = water surface slope (ft/ft) The hydraulic radius equals the cross sectional area divided by the wetted perimeter. R=A/P Where: R = hydraulic radius A = cross-sectional area (ft2) P = wetted perimeter (ft) The following table contains the critical shear stress results for the four proposed channel configurations. Particle ranges were determined using Shield's curve. 13 G''I KimleyHorn ®J 1 and Associates, Inc. Table 5 Summary of Shear Stress Calculations Reach Proposed WS Slope (ft/ft) Proposed Hydraulic Radius (ft) She Stress (Iblfe) Particle Range (mm) Reach One (Upstream) 0.0080 1.12 0.56 35 to 76 Reach One Downstream 0.0056 1.14 0.40 23 to 46 Reach Two 0.0016 1.59 0.16 10 to 17 Pond Tributary 0.0190 0.47 0.49 31 to 69 The largest particles found in the bar samples and sub-pavement samples fall within the range of particles shown in Table 5 for the proposed channels. The proposed channel slope and dimensions are principally based on the reference reach and data collected from the existing channels. The above particle ranges serve to ensure that the proposed channel will transport the material currently being transported by the stream channels. The bar samples taken at the cross sections were sieved to determine the D50 of the channel material. The following table contains the results from that analysis. Table 6 D50 of Channel Material Reach D50 mm Category Reach One 0.8 Medium Sand Reach Two 4.8 Fine Gravel Pond Tributary 7.6 Fine Gravel 7.4 Hydraulic Modeling The streams located on Rising Meadows Farm and the Williams Farm are not FEMA detail studied streams. However, hydraulic modeling of the channels was performed to ensure no significant rise in the 100-year floodplain elevation. Hydraulic modeling was also used to calibrate the proposed bankfull channel dimensions, to verify shear stress calculations, and to help select temporary erosion control matting for design. The hydraulic model was performed using HEC-RAS Version 3.1. The peak flows for the bankfull, 2, 10, 25, and 100-year storms were modeled for the existing and proposed conditions. These flows were calculated using the North Carolina rural flood-frequency equations for the Blue- Ridge/Piedmont hydrologic region (USGS WRIR-96-4084). The peak flows calculated are summarized in the following table. 4 0 Kimley-Horn 1` =3n and Associates, Inc, Table 7 Peak Discharges Reach Area ac.

The model for Reach Two and the majority of Reach One show insignificant rise in the 100-year elevation. The middle portion of Reach One (including XS4) shows greater than one foot in rise. This increase in the 100-year floodplain does not affect any structures located within the valley. This increase in water surface elevation will not cause backwater above the two 72-inch CMPs under Williams Dairy Road since they are an inlet control for existing and proposed conditions. Backwater on the Williams Farm due to raising the channel bed through Reach Two will not affect any structures on the property. The anticipated increase in the 100-year floodplain in Reach Two is 0.1 feet. Currently the stream channels are incised so that greater than bankfull events are contained within the channel banks. This results in greater shear stress being exerted on the channel bed. Priority 1 restoration will provide relief at and above the bankfull stage, lowering the shear stress on the proposed channel bed and banks. This will result in a decreased mean and max depth and will prevent channel degradation and bank erosion. The following table reflects shear stresses calculated at bankfull flow.

It is anticipated that the stream restoration activities will allow these areas to eventually return to reference conditions on their own. Restoration of the stream channel will bring the water table up to the wetlands, possibly enhancing the existing 49 wetlands and expanding the area that is currently delineated as wetland. 8.0 Typical Drawings (See Attached Restoration Plan) on 9.0 Stream Riparian Planting Plan 49 (See Attached Restoration Plan for Species List) 40 Prior to planting the riparian buffer, efforts will be made to eradicate fescue. These efforts should 40 include herbicide use (Roundup or Rodeo plus a pre-emergent such as Plateau) during the spring and 49 a follow up spraying (Roundup or Rodeo) in early fall to eliminate any fescue that was not-killed in ® the spring. A permanent seed mix can be used after application of the pre-emergent. Planting can follow during the dormant season. Ripping the site prior to planting is recommended. 40 Vegetation planted within the floodplain and along the stream banks provides stability to the stream 49 channel by reducing scour and runoff erosion. The usual progression of vegetation growth on cleared riparian habitats begins with pioneer species that both provide stream stabilization functions and create an environment suitable for latter species common in mature riparian habitats. The contractor will plant the stream bank with pioneer species that provide immediate bank stabilization. Species l5 common in mature riparian habitats will be planted in the floodplain. ® The vegetation plan will use reference bottomland hardwood forest found within the region to develop a list of plants for the planting scheme. Immediately after construction, the contractor will ® seed the stream banks and all disturbed areas with a permanent seed mix. The contractor will plant live stakes and bare roots around structure installations and the outside of meander bends to provide an area of high density root mass. Coir fiber matting and live stakes will be used along the entire reach of the restored channels to provide stabilization until vegetation can be established. The contractor will plant trees and shrubs using live stakes, bare root, or container stock along the tops of ® the channel banks. ® 9.1 Stream Bank Vegetation ® The contractor will immediately seed newly constructed reaches and plant live stakes and/or bare roots within the floodplain especially along high stress areas such as the outer meander bends with the species listed in the Restoration Plan. 40 411 4111 The contractor will plant woody vegetation between November and March so that the vegetation may stabilize during the dormant season and set roots during the spring season. . ie G? O KimleyHorn t^?.10 ® and Associates, Inc, 9.2 Riparian Buffer Most of the existing floodplain consists of actively grazed pasture. The contractor will plant the species listed in the Restoration Plan. In areas of the floodplain where channel restoration does not remove woody vegetation, the contractor will preserve the desirable woody vegetation. The desirable woody vegetation will be flagged or fenced off with safety fencing prior to the beginning of construction. The contractor.will plant a minimum of 680 stems per acre. 10.0 Stream Monitoring Plan ® Upon completion of the restoration project, as-built surveys will be conducted to document the dimension, pattern, and profile of all restored reaches. Documentation shall be made of any changes in the dimension, pattern, profile, vegetation plantings, and structures installed, of the constructed ® channel from the proposed design. j 49 The monitoring plan should consist of reference photos, visual inspection of channel and plant 49 survival analysis. Monitoring should be performed each year of the required 5-year monitoring ® period. All monitoring reports should be submitted to the Corps of Engineers, Raleigh Regulatory Field Office Project Manager. The mitigation success criteria, and required remediation actions, will ® be generally based on Appendix II of the "Stream Mitigation Guidelines," dated April, 2003. A ® proper monitoring plan at a minimum should include the tasks outlined below. ID 10.1 Reference Photographs Photographs will be taken throughout the monitoring period to evaluate vegetative growth along the ® stream corridor of the restoration site. Locations of the photograph points will be established and ® marked with stakes. A map with notations of the photo reference points will be generated. This aspect of monitoring will last for five years. Photo-monitoring will include lateral as well as 4D longitudinal photographs. • 10.2 Visual Inspection of Channel Stability is Visual inspections of the channel stability should be performed on all restored reaches. 49 Documentation will be made of any significant changes in the dimension, pattern, or profile that ob indicates instability of the channel. Special attention should be given to structures and any developing headcuts. Data will be collected at years 1, 3, and 5 following completion of restoration ® work. ® 10.3 Plant Survival Analysis ® In order to establish vegetation in restoration areas, such as bankfull benches and slopes, bareroot do and containerized vegetation as well as live stakes will be planted as shown on the plans or required ® in the Special Provisions. Plant survival should also be assessed and plants replaced as necessary. in ® Survival of vegetation will be evaluated using tree counts of 10 meter by 10 meter monitoring plots. Survival of live stakes will be evaluated along the stream corridor of the restoration site. Bareroot 49 ?I ® 7 =1 Kimley-Horn ® I =1 and Associates, Inc. and containerized vegetation as well as live stake plantings will be monitored for five years before success or failure is assessed. 11.0 Stream Success Criteria 11.1 Reference Photos Photographs will be used to quantitatively evaluate channel aegradation or degradation, bank erosion, success of riparian vegetation and effectiveness of erosion control measures. Longitudinal photos should indicate the absences of developing mid-channel bars or excessive bed scour in riffles or behind structures. Lateral photos should not indicate excessive erosion or continuing degradation of the bank over time. A series of photos over time should indicate successional maturation of riparian vegetation. 11.2 Visual Inspection of Channel Stability Judgments of success or failure of restoration activities using this data will be qualitative. Changes in the channel dimension that may occur during the monitoring period will be evaluated to determine if they represent a movement toward a more unstable condition (down-cutting, deposition, erosion) or are minor changes that represent an increase in stability (settling, vegetative changes, decrease in width/depth ratio). Unstable conditions that require remediation will indicate failure of restoration activities. 11.3 Plant Survival Analysis • Success of live stake plantings will require a 70% survival rate based on sample plots. (See Appendix II, Stream Mitigation Guidelines, April 2003) ¦ Success criteria for trees will be 320 trees/acre through year 3 and 260 trees per acre through year 5. ¦ Success of herbaceous plants will be 75% ground cover. 11.4 Geomorphic Assessment Generally, geomorphic assessment follows,the Monitoring Level I procedures described in the Stream Mitigation Guidelines (April 2003). Two permanent riffle and two permanent pool cross- sections will be established as shown in the Restoration Plan. Pebble counts also will be conducted at the cross sections. A longitudinal profile also will be conducted. The monitoring will be conducted each year for the 5-year monitoring period. In order to show success, the data should show no significant aegradation or degradation and should show no unexpected changes in morphology. s E=Ipj Kimley-Horn = and Associates, Inc. 12.0 References Rosgen, David L. 1997.

Date: May 22, 2003 Subject: Williams Property, Notes from May 21, 2003 meeting A meeting was held on site today with Mrs. Williams and her two sons to discuss the size of the proposed conservation easement. Those in attendance were: Jeanette Williams, Rick Williams, Greg Williams, Gene Nocerino - NC Department of Transportation, Barton Roberson - Randolph County Soil and Water Conservation, Will Wilhelm - Kimley-Horn and Associates (KHA), and Daren Pait - KHA. The following topics were discussed: • The size of the proposed conservation easement was discussed. After viewing a conceptual plan of the proposed restored channel and easement the Williams agreed that the proposed easement was acceptable. • Rick had concerns over access to the remaining pasture from the neighboring properties. He wanted to make sure that the pasture could be accessed from both the Faye and Henry properties to ensure the remaining pasture was not isolated if the property was sold in the future. Access from the Henry property to the Williams pasture was discussed. Rick stated that any access roads or crossings should be at least 25 ft wide. It was discussed that there needs to be enough room between the easement and Old Liberty Rd. to provide access to the pasture from the Henry property. A ford crossing to provide access to the Faye property was also discussed. Greg stated that the preferable location for the crossing is where the old crossing was located (immediately downstream of the confluence of the pond tributary with the channel). • Gene asked Mrs. Williams if they were ready to proceed with the project and Rick stated that it now depends on the amount of compensation for the easement. The next step is for Right-of-Way to contact the Williams to negotiate the easement purchase price. Barton Roberson mentioned combining "Continuous Conservation Reserve Program" funds with NCDOT's funds to reach an agreeable amount of compensation. Mr. Roberson said he will determine if that is possible and will contact Gene to let him know. At the end of the meeting the Williams stated they were ready to continue with the project providing they reach an agreeable price for the easement with NCDOT.

The stream bed in this reach is e combined with the high banks. This tions for this reach. This indicates that inue to degrade if left alone. While reiterated that relocating a portion of bank may be necessary to complete i the Williams Farm. Alternatives to hase. A possible alternative is to bring with its floodplain within this reach •esult in priority I restoration while section of the channel in place. The )wnstream of the fence line will require a minimum. Doing nothing in this 1 stream profile and the proposed priority 1 restoration approach. Mr. Jordan discussed adding information to the mitigation plan regarding site preparation for planting and more details on tilling, herbicide use, etc. The plan should ensure the eradication of fescue within the conservation easement. Mr. Thomas requested that the existing wetland boundaries be defined using soils data collected during field evaluations. This should be done to ensure proper credits are given for proposed wetland restoration vs. wetland creation. Wetland delineation forms are included as Appendi There was some confusion among attende describing the wetland restoration areas. "rehabilitation" describe the two types of Corps of Engineers "Regulatory Guidance 2002. The following excerpt from page 4 terminology. x C in the document. es as to the terminology used in The terms "re-establishment" and restoration as presented in the US Army Letter" No. 02-2 dated December 24, of that document describes the 2. Restoration: The manipulation of the physical, chemical, or biological characteristics of a site with the goal of returning natural or historic functions to a former or degraded wetland. For the purpose of tracking net gains in wetland acres, restoration is divided into: a.) Re-establishment: The manipulation of the physical, chemical, or biological characteristics of a site with the goal of returning natural or historic functions to a former wetland. Re- establishment results in rebuilding a former wetland and results in a gain in wetland acres. b.) Rehabilitation: The manipulation of the physical, chemical, or biological characteristics of a site with the goal of repairing natural or historic functions of a degraded wetland. Rehabilitation results in a gain in wetland function but does not result in a gain in wetland acres. • Mr. Nocerino was given an extra copy of the mitigation plan to deliver to Travis Wilson. Mr. Nocerino will also send a copy of the mussel survey report completed for this site by NCDOT to all attendees who requested it. • It was requested by Mr. Nocerino that the agencies provide comments on the mitigation plan document to him within 30 days. These minutes of the on-site meeting represent KHA's understanding of the issues discussed. Please review these minutes carefully, and advise of any corrections or additions within 30 days of the date below. Daren Pait, EI Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.
