Please indicate in the narrative that a contracting meeting was held on 3/29/2018 among Wildlands, DMS and IRT, and the meeting minutes can be found in an Appendix (and include as an appendix). a. The initial IRT site walk minutes are referenced in section 1.0 and were added as Appendix 11. 2. Section 3.1.2 (Geology and Soils) - How do soils and geologic formations and/or individual units described in the geology and soils section influence the stream form and substrate? The purpose of this section is to provide multi -scale information for the proposed work and the stream processes that will be restored. This task does not require more than a few sentences. DMS has asked WEI countless times to provide the relevance of geology and soils. If WEI does not believe this information is valuable to the reader and the project context, please say so and/or leave it out. a. The parenting material of the soils was described along with sources of sediment on Site. Further description was added to this section describing how the mapped soil characteristics will/won't affect project implementation and design. 3. Section 3.1.2 (Geology and Soils) - To what degree is bedrock exposed in the system? Is bedrock expected to be a major factor potentially requiring design changes, or only occasionally present? a. The statement "Bedrock was not observed in the channel during the existing conditions assessment work. Since the channel will be relocated and/or raised to the valley bottom, bedrock is not anticipated to be a factor in restoration implementation." was added. 4. Section 3.1.2 (Geology and Soils) -Please provide a reference for the geology description. a. The reference was added to the References: i. North Carolina Geological Survey (NCGS), 2017. NCGS Publications. https://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-land-resources/north- carolina-geological-survey/ncgs-publications 5. Section 3.1.2 (Land Use/ Land Cover) -Why is figure 2 (Site Map) referenced in this section? The reference seems out of place. Please clarify or remove. a. Figure 2 is used to show the current conditions of the Site, including land use (pastures, forested areas, etc.) 6. Section 3.4 (Project Resources) -It is indicated that NCSAM forms are included in Appendix 3; these are not there. a. NCSAM forms were added to Appendix 3 for the resubmittal. 7. Section 3.4 (Project Resources) -It is indicated that streams were classified using the NCDWR Classification Forms. What DWR stream classification is WEI referencing? Intermittent and perennial stream identification? The 1/P identification is not a classification; please revise. a. The term classification was changed to identification. The forms were only used to determine if the stream was ephemeral, intermittent, or perennial. 8. Section 3.4.1 (Project Streams) -Please describe the exposed subsurface material at the head cuts (soil, saprolite or rock). a. The exposed materials at the headcuts were noted. 9. Section 3.4.1 (Project Streams) -It is indicated that ATV paths cross UT1 Reach 3 (preservation section); has this been addressed with the landowner and are they aware that ATV traffic is not allowed through the easement areas? a. Wildlands has made the landowner aware that vehicular traffic is not allowed with the Conservation easement and that they will need to use either Elk Shoals Church Loop Road or the existing timber bridge crossing outside of the downstream limits of the easement. 10. Section 4.1 (Hydrology) - What is the intended purpose of the second paragraph? a. The second paragraph was removed from the section. 11. Section 4.2 (Hydraulics) - The first sentence is very direct (this is good). Adding the range of BHRs in parentheses would tell the reader everything necessary to start this paragraph. The confinement statement is confusing and seems to contradict the info in table 4. Uplift in hydraulic function will result from (insert your words here). a. The confinement statement was removed for clarity. A statement on the uplift potential was added to the section. 12. Section 4.4 (Physicochemical) - Please state that the proposed storm water BMP will be located within the easement. a. A statement saying the stormwater BMP will be located within the proposed conservation easement was added in the section. 13. Section 4.4 (Biology) - If WEI has made the decision to utilize to functional pyramid framework to address uplift, DMS asks that the biology be addressed as the framework is designed. That is, habitat is part of geomorphology, not biology. Furthermore, the last sentence suggests that all other functions were 'rated',- were they? a. The Biology section 4.5 was reworded to remove references to habitat and implications that other functions were rated. 14. Section 7.2 (Reference streams) - Does WEI truly use all the eight reference streams for design? a. Reference ratios and parameter ranges for all references were used when determining design discharge and parameters. The reference reaches by stream types: Reach 1A/1B referenced B type streams and UTI Reach 4A/4B referenced C/E type streams. 15. Section 7.6 (Project Implementation) - Recommend noting if a farm improvement plan (livestock watering system, etc.) is being installed for the landowner as part of the project commitment. a. A statement about implanting cattle watering systems was added to section 7.6. 16. Section 7.6 (Project Implementation) - Please provide more detail in the reach -by -reach section detail than "invasive vegetation will be treated,- it would be good to list the most prevalent species at least. a. The dominant invasive species that are going to be treated along each reach were listed within the specific sections. 17. Section 7.6 (Project Implementation) - It is noted that timbering expected to occur soon adjacent to preservation reaches. Is this expected to affect or impact the project reaches via sedimentation/runoff? a. Wildlands coordinated with the landowner and timber company to set the timbering limits 30' — 50' away from the conservation easement. This additional undisturbed vegetated buffer will act as a streamside management zone for the timber harvest activities. The mature vegetative buffer along with the understory and forest floor will allow for the runoff to slow and drop sediment before flowing into the stream. Additionally, vernal pools are placed at discreet runoff locations from the timbering area to provide additional treatment. This explanation was added to section 7.6. 18. Section 7.6.2 (UT1 Reach 1A) - Please ensure the installation of a channel plug(s) is sufficient to maintain flow at the increased elevation. a. Wildlands has had success with the use of strategically placed channel plugs. Removing vegetation from the existing stream banks is crucial to achieving an effective channel plug. Wildlands will ensure that the plugs are installed correctly during construction. 19. Figure 2 (Site Map) - Wetland A label appears missing. a. Wetland A label was added to Figure 2. 20. Figure 9 (Concept Design) - a 50 foot easement break is noted along the roadway culvert however the stationing from Table 17 (Assets) indicates a 60 foot break (130+50 to 131+10). Please clarify. a. The easement break width was changed to 60' on Figure 9. 21. Please include a credit release schedule and footnotes. Please use the NCDMS credit release table version from the October 2016 NCIRT guidance. This can be either in the main body or included as an appendix. a. A credit release schedule was added to Appendix 11. 22. Table 4 (Project Attributes) - Ut1 Reach 1A/18 and UT1 Reach 4/48 - Degradation and widening is unrealistic. If the evolutionary stage cannot be interpreted, please do not reference the stage. a. UTI Reach 1A/113 was changed to Class III —Degradation. UTI Reach 4A/413 was kept as Class IV — Degradation and Widening. The existing conditions of UTI Reach 4A/413 show the channel as being deeply incised with transverse bars indicating lateral instability. 23. Table 8 (Goals and Objectives) — (a) please refrain from using the word 'significantly'since you are not quantifying sediment inputs (channel stability goal); (b) the function supported column for the 'improve habitat' goal should include hydraulics and physicochemical. DMS can explain further if needed. a. The term 'significantly' was removed when describing sediment inputs. Hydraulics and physicochemical was added in the 'function supported' column in the 'improve habitat goal'. 24. Tables 10 and 11 (Morphological Parameters) - The table is formatted to include information about grain size distribution and substrate, but WEI has deleted this item. Please revise. Additionally, DMS recently realized the word 'design' in the parameter column of the spreadsheet template is incorrect. Please remove the word and/or download the revised spreadsheet.https.Ildeq.nc.gov/about/divisions/mitigation-services/dms-vendors/rfp forms - templates Tables 05-2019. a. Sediment data was added to Table 10 and 11 to match the DMS required table templates. The term 'design' was removed from the table. 25. Table 17 (Asset table) - This is not internally consistent. Please check over the math. For example, the total proposed credits summed up in the credits column (4258.1) do not match the total credits shown at the top split out by RIPE (3561.0 + 575.8 = 4136.8); and the restoration LF (4472) does not match the sum of the individual restoration components. Additionally, please note that RE (listed as 575.8 credits) should only represent stream preservation credits. a. The proposed credits were reviewed, and the summary of credits was adjusted. The RE now only represent stream preservation credits. 26. Table 17 (Asset table) - Footnote references a credit memo in Appendix 4 but not included. Please include the 4/16/2018 credit memo in an appendix and reference accordingly. a. The reference to the credit memo was corrected to say Appendix 11. 27. Please determine the need for a Floodplain Requirements Checklist and add if necessary; it looks like Flood Zone AE extends up from Elk Shoals Creek into the project area. a. A Floodplain Requirements Checklist was added as Appendix 12. 4 28. Appendix 2 (Preliminary JD) - Please provide any updates since the draft submittal regarding verification of JD by the USACE. There needs to be a final approved JD prior to IRT review and approval. a. A JD meeting with the USACE was held on June 3, 2019. The final approved JD is included in Appendix 2. 29. Appendix 3 (DWR stream 0 forms) - Even though coordinates are provided, it would be helpful in the future to include a simple sketch on the DWR stream M forms showing the reach location or segment where the assessments were performed. Alternately, the locations could be mapped on Figure 2 (Site Map). a. Descriptions were added to the stream ID forms relating the location to the project reaches. 30. Appendix 4 (Cross -Sections) - Add reach names to the cross-sections. a. Reach names were added to the existing cross-sections. 31. Appendix 5 (Categorical Exclusion) —please include only the signed form and checklist. The full Categorical Exclusion Summary document will be posted separately on Share Point when the mitigation plan is posted. a. Only the categorical exclusion signature page and checklist is included in Appendix 5. 32. Correct PM phone number is -7057 (not -7097). a. The phone number was changed to the correct number on the Title Sheet (Sheet 0.1) of the plans. 33. Typical Sections - Thank you for providing both the existing and the proposed channel surfaces. a. You're welcome. 34. Plan Views - Existing trees are shown on the plans, please indicate any that must be protected during construction. a. Tree protection was added to questionable trees located close to the grading limits. 35. Sheet 2.1.5 (Culvert) - Consider adding grade control at the culvert outfall to reduce the potential of downcutting in the future. a. A rock sill was added at the outfall of the culvert. 36. Vernal Pools - Thank you for including a specification for the outlets. a. You're welcome.

July 3, 2019 1.0 Introduction The Alexander Farm Mitigation Site (Site) is in Alexander County approximately 6 miles west of Statesville and 15 miles northeast of Hickory (Figure 1). Unnamed tributaries to Elk Shoals Creek originate within the project limits, and will be restored, enhanced, and preserved as part of this project. Elk Shoals Creek drains to Lookout Shoals Lake on the Catawba River, the primary water supply for the City of Statesville. The Site is located within the Elk Shoals Creek targeted local watershed Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03050101130010 and is being submitted for mitigation credit in the Upper Catawba Catalog Unit 03050101. The Site is bisected by Elk Shoals Church Loop Road. UTI originates within a small section of grazed woods in a moderately confined valley surrounded by open pasture. Approximately 600 feet downstream of the headwaters, the woods narrow to a band of mature trees along the top of bank as the valley widens. Continuing towards Elk Shoals Church Loop Road, trees are sporadically present as UTI flows through open cattle pasture. Downstream of the Elk Shoals Church Loop Road culvert crossing, UTI flows through a short section of forest for approximately 700 feet before re-entering open cattle pasture. The woods are fenced to exclude cattle. UTI continues to flow south through the open pasture until it exits the Site, just upstream of the stream's confluence with Elk Shoals Creek. UT1A also originates within the Site limits in the southern pasture from the left floodplain of UTI. UT1A's valley is within the broad floodplain of UTI. The streams throughout the Site are in various stages of impairment related to the current and historical agricultural uses. The project proposes to restore and preserve 6,940 existing linear feet of streams. A stormwater BMP will be established within the conservation easement to capture and treat the drainage from the adjacent pasture. The work proposed on the Site will provide 4,258 SMUs and will be protected in perpetuity by a 21 -acre conservation easement. The Site Protection Instrument detailing the proposed terms and restrictions of the conservation easement is in Appendix 7. A site walk was held on March 29, 2018 with DMS, IRT, and Wildlands in attendance. The minutes from this contracting meeting and the subsequent credit ratio discussion can be found in Appendix 11. Table 1: Project Attribute Table Part 1 Project Information Project Name Alexander Farm Mitigation Site County Alexander Project Area (acres) 21 Project Coordinates (latitude and longitude) 35o 48' 42.36"N 810 7' 14.46"W Planted Acreage (acres of woody stems planted) 15 2.0 Watershed Approach and Site Selection At its confluence with UTI, Elk Shoals Creek is defined in the 2014 North Carolina Integrated Report as Class WS -IV waters. Class WS -IV waters are protected for drinking, culinary, food processing, aquatic life, secondary recreation, and fresh water purposes, and are generally in highly developed watersheds. Elk Shoals Creek is listed as exceeding conditions for Fish Tissue Mercury, but a TMDL is in place (Category 4t). The Site streams are included in the 2009 Upper Catawba River Basin Restoration Priorities (RBRP). The RBRP lists specific watershed goals of restoring nutrient and sediment impaired waters to water supply reservoirs (including Lookout Shoals Lake), and implementing agricultural BMPs within heavily agricultural sub -watersheds, including the Elk Shoals Creek watershed. Alexander Farm Mitigation Site Draft Mitigation Plan DMS ID No. 100048 Page 3 July 3, 2019 The Catawba River Basin is also discussed in the 2015 North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission's (NCWRC) Wildlife Action Plan (WAP). This report notes that riparian habitat loss, excessive sedimentation, and nutrient loading from poorly managed agricultural operations are widespread problems within the basin. The WAP discusses the importance of habitat conservation and restoration to address problems affecting non -game species. Restoration of the Site streams will directly and indirectly address stressors identified in the RBRP and the WAP by excluding livestock, creating stable stream banks, restoring a forest in agriculturally maintained buffer areas, and preserving existing forested buffers. These actions will reduce fecal, nutrient, and sediment inputs to project streams, and ultimately to Elk Shoals Creek, as well as reconnect in -stream and terrestrial habitats on the Site. Restoration of the Site is directly in line with recommended management strategies outlined in the Upper Catawba River Basin RBRP. Approximately 21 acres of land will be placed under permanent conservation easement to protect the Site in perpetuity. 3.0 Baseline and Existing Conditions The following sections describe the existing conditions of the Site, watershed, and watershed processes, including disturbance and response. A summary of watershed information is presented in Table 2 and Figure 3. Table 2: Project Attribute Table Part 2 Project Watershed Summary Information Physiographic Province Piedmont Ecoregion Northern Inner Piedmont River Basin Catawba River USGS HUC (8 digit, 14 digit) 03050101, 03050101130010 NCDWR Sub -basin 03-08-32 Project Drainage Area (acres) 256 (UT1), 7.4 (UT1A) Project Drainage Area Percentage of Impervious Area 1.13% Hay/Pasture' 73% Forest' 20% Developed' 5% Shrubland' 1% Grassland 1% 'Landuse data is for UT1 based on the 2011 NCLD Land Use Classification 3.1 Landscape Characteristics 3.1.1 Physiography and Topography The Site is in the Inner Piedmont Belt of the Piedmont physiographic province. The Piedmont is characterized by gently rolling, well-rounded hills with long low ridges, with elevations ranging from 300 to 1500 feet above sea level. The Site topography and relief are typical for the region, as illustrated in Figure 4. The Site topography, as indicated on the Stony Point, NC USGS 7.5 topographic quadrangle, shows a gradually sloped valley running through the center of the Site. The Site upstream of Elk Shoals Church Loop Road is characterized by a moderate slope. The downstream end topography consists of a broad gently sloping floodplain to Elk Shoals Creek. The valley through the project transitions from a Alexander Farm Mitigation Site Draft Mitigation Plan DMS ID No. 100048 Page 4 July 3, 2019 moderately confined valley to a broad, alluvial floodplain at the downstream extents as it approaches Elk Shoals Creek. 3.1.2 Geology and Soils The Site is located in the Cat Square terrane of the Piedmont physiographic province. The Cat Square terrane is composed of metamorphic rocks that have been intruded by younger granitic rocks. The underlying geology of the Site is mapped as Late Proterozoic -Cambrian (500 to 900 million years in age) amphibolite and biotite gneiss (CZab) and mica schist (CZms). The amphibolite and biotite gneiss unit is described as interlayered with minor layers or lenses of hornblende gneiss, metagabbro, mica schist, and granitic rock. The mica schist unit includes garnet, staurolite, kyanite, or sillimanite that occurs locally and interlayered with layers or lenses of quartz, calc-silicate rock, biotite gneiss, amphibolite, and phyllite rock. The Site is mapped by the USDA Web Soil Survey for Alexander County. Site soils are described below in Table 3 and shown in Figure 5. Table 3: Project Soil Types Soil Name Description CoA - Codorus loam, 0 to 2 This series consists of somewhat poorly drained soils, on nearly level floodplains percent slopes, frequently and valleys with a slope of 0- 2%. These soils are subject to frequent flooding, and flooded they have a loamy surface layer and subsoil. The parent material consists of loamy alluvium derived from igneous and metamorphic rock. This series consists of 50% Dan River and 40% Comus soils on nearly level to gently DaA - Dan River and sloping valleys and floodplains with a slope of 0-4%. Dan River soils are very deep Comus soils, 0 to 4 percent and well drained. They have a loamy surface layer and loamy subsoil. Comus soils slopes, occasionally are very deep and well drained. They have a loamy surface layer and subsoil. flooded These soils are subject to occasional flooding. The parent material consists of loamy and sandy alluvium derived from igneous and metamorphic rock. FcD2 - Fairview sandy clay These soils are located on ridges and low hills in the piedmont uplands. The profile loam, 15 to 25 percent consists of a sandy loam surface layer and clay to sandy loam subsoil. They are slopes, moderately eroded very deep soils that are well drained with slopes of 15-25%. RdE - Rhodhiss sandy The series is a deep, well -drained soil found on hillslopes. The profile consists of loam, 25 to 45 percent sandy loam surface layer and sandy clay loam subsoil. The parent material is slopes saprolite derived from granite and gneiss or schist. Ya B2 - Yadkin clay loam, 8 This series is a deep, well -drained soil found on hillslopes. The profile consists of a to 15 percent slopes clay loam to clay surface layer and sandy clay subsoil. The parent material is old alluvium derived from granite and gneiss. Source: Soil Survey of Alexander County, North Carolina, USDA-NRCS, http://websoilsurvey.sc. ego v. usda. gov/App/WebSoi1Survey. aspx The mapped soils are a combination of alluvium derived from igneous and metamorphic rock and saprolite residuum weathered from granite and gneiss or schist. On Site there are two sources of sediment to the project streams: agricultural fields and watershed stream bank erosion. The runoff from the agricultural fields contribute fine sediments while stream bank erosion contributes a mix of fines and small gravels. Bedrock was not observed in the channel during the existing conditions assessment work. The soils where the majority of the restoration work will be occurring (CoA and FcD2) characteristically have depths to bedrock 60 -in or greater. Since the restoration channels will be raised to the valley bottom, bedrock is not anticipated to be a factor in restoration implementation. Alexander Farm Mitigation Site Draft Mitigation Plan DMS ID No. 100048 Page 5 July 3, 2019 3.2 Land Use/Land Cover The current tenant farmer maintains a 175 head herd on the farm. He rotates the herd between the northern pasture in spring and summer and the southern pasture in fall and winter. Wildlands has visited the Site several times since 2010 and has confirmed this land management practice. The existing streams and pastures are presented in Figure 2. Land use and cover, both past and present, were investigated throughout the Site and its watershed using historical aerials from 1956-2012 (Appendix 1). The most common historical and current land use in the watershed are forest and agricultural. One major change in land use occurred sometime between 1961-1976. The northern section of the stream, upstream of Elk Shoals Church Loop, was historically forested but cleared for pasture. Clearing also occurred on the adjacent wooded areas on the downstream extents of UTI. No other significant land use changes have occurred since these impacts. The extents of riparian buffers and agricultural land on Site have remained consistent over that time. There are no signs of impending land use changes or development pressure that would impact the project throughout the watershed. However, clearing of the forested areas adjacent to the downstream end of UTI is set to occur in the future. 3.3 Existing Vegetation Mature canopy species upstream of Elk Shoals Church Loop Road are primarily red maple (Acer rubrum), shagbark hickory (Carya ovata), sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), and white oak (Quercus alba), with occasional black willow (Salix nigra). The understory layer consists of American holly (Ilex opaca), Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), Eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), and tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima). Herbaceous species include beefsteak plant (Perilla frutescens), common boneset (Eupatorium perfoliatum), dogfennel (Eupatorium capillifolium), Japanese stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum), New York ironweed (Vernonia noveboracensis), pasture grasses (such as fescue and millet species), joe pye weed (Eutrochium sp.), pokeweed (Phytolacca Americana), and wingstem (Verbesina alternifolia). Canopy species south of Elk Shoals Church Loop road include American beech (Fagus grandifolia), red maple, sycamore, and tulip poplar. Understory species include American holly, Chinese privet, and Russian olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia). The sparse herbaceous layer consists of Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides), grapevine (Vitis sp.), and Japanese stiltgrass. The left floodplain and hillside through the remaining project area is dominated by pasture grasses and other herbaceous species with scattered trees. The narrow right floodplain is a mix of mature trees and dense herbaceous that quickly transition to the steep, forested right hillslope immediately adjacent to the project area. Canopy species in these areas are similar to those upstream of Elk Shoals Church Loop Road. Understory and sapling species include black cherry (Prunus serotina), black walnut (Juglans nigra), Eastern red cedar, flowering dogwood (Cornus florida), pawpaw (Asimina triloba), persimmon (Diospryos virginana), redbud (Cercis canadensis), river birch (Betula nigra), and sugarberry (Celtis laevigata). In addition to pasture grasses the dense herbaceous layer includes beefsteak plant, beggars tick (Bidens frondosa), Carolina elephant's foot (Elephantopus carolinianus), jewelweed (Impatiens capensis), New York ironweed, joe pye weed, pink knotweed (Polygonum pennsylvanicum), pokeweed, and wingstem. Herbaceous vegetation consists of grazed fescue and other species including jewelweed, pink knotweed, and wingstem. 3.4 Project Resources Wildlands investigated on-site jurisdictional waters of the United States (US) within the proposed project area. Potential jurisdictional areas were delineated using the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Routine On -Site Determination Method. This method is defined by the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual and the subsequent Eastern Mountain and Piedmont Regional Alexander Farm Mitigation Site Draft Mitigation Plan DMS ID No. 100048 Page 6 July 3, 2019 Supplement. Streams were identified using North Carolina Department of Water Resources (NCDWR) Identification Forms. Jurisdictional waters of the US were surveyed for inclusion on plans and figures. Wetland determination forms representative of on-site jurisdictional areas as well as non -jurisdictional upland areas are included in Appendix 2. The North Carolina Stream Assessment Method (NC SAM) evaluation was performed on each project reach. The rapid assessment methodology evaluates field conditions to generate qualitative function ratings (Low, Medium, High) for the overall reach relative to reference conditions for the specific stream type. Project reaches proposed for restoration scored as low functioning systems when compared to reference conditions due to impairment to one or more of the primary functions (habitat, hydrology, and water quality). Low -scoring functions are the result of channel instability, agricultural activities and managed buffers. Project reaches proposed for enhancement generally exhibited less instability relative to restoration reaches, however, reduced function was still evident. Enhancement reach overall ratings ranged from low to medium. NC SAM Field Assessment Forms and Rating Sheets are enclosed in Appendix 3. The results of the on-site investigation include two jurisdictional stream channels (UTI and UT1A) and 18 wetlands (A -R) as discussed below. Table 4 provides a summary of water resources within the project limits. Existing conditions are illustrated in Figure 2. Reach specific cross-sections and geomorphic summaries are provided in Appendix 4. 3.4.1 Project Streams UTI Reach 1A/18 UTI Reach 1 originates within the Site limits at a spring head. The valley is slightly confined and wooded with minimal understory. Cattle are present throughout the reach and wallow in the spring, resulting in trampled, muddy conditions. Just downstream of the wallow area, the stream drops over a headcut consisting of exposed soil and becomes incised with bank height ratios over 3. Downstream of the headcut, the stream widens, and cattle paths in and out of the channel are frequent. Fine sediments choke the bedform on this reach, with silted in pools and embedded riffles throughout. Approximately 100 feet upstream of the wood line, the bank heights decrease and the stream regains floodplain connectivity, but the stream is still scoured and impacted from cattle access. At the wood line, as UTI enters the open pasture, the stream drops over a series of 4 bare clay soil headcuts in 200 feet, each approximately 3 feet high. The stream channel is incised and actively eroding, with bank vegetation falling into the channel. Bank heights gradually decrease going downstream until the stream is no longer incised. Although cattle activity is widespread, with numerous trails in and out of the channel and wallows throughout, the stream banks are well vegetated with annual species. The stream continues in this condition until approximately 200 feet upstream of the UTI Reach 1/Reach 2 break, where the stream again is incised and eroded until it regains connectivity at the reach break. Overall, UTI Reach 1's condition is predominantly incised and disconnected from the floodplain, with short segments of floodplain connectivity. The bed is trampled and severely impacted by cattle; bedform diversity and habitat is very poor, primarily due to sedimentation and incision. UTI Reach 1 may be classified as Simon Evolutionary Stage III. UTI Reach 2 UTI Reach 2 is overwide and trampled but is well vegetated with herbaceous species. This reach drops over a few small 6 -inch exposed clay soil headcuts and shows evidence of local erosion in these areas. Reach 2 appears to be in the Simon Evolutionary Stage V. As UTI Reach 2 approaches the Elk Shoals Church Loop culvert and enters the woodline, the creek again alternates between areas of incision and floodplain connection. The bed is choked with fine sediments and is trampled, with several active cattle wallow areas. UTI Reach 2 ends at the Elk Shoals Church Loop 48 -inch culvert. Alexander Farm Mitigation Site Draft Mitigation Plan DMS ID No. 100048 Page 7 July 3, 2019 UTI Reach 3 UT1 Reach 3 begins just downstream of the Elk Shoals Church Loop culvert. The valley is moderately confined and wooded, and the stream meanders through the valley bottom. This section of the farm is fenced to exclude cattle. UT1 Reach 3 is incised directly downstream of the culvert, but regains connectivity quickly with low, stable stream banks. Spot areas of scour are present thoughout the reach and are largely related to ATV paths which crisscross the stream. The stream bed is processing a heavy fine sediment load from the upstream bank erosion, but coarse substrate is visible through the fine sediment. Desirable aquatic habitat is present throughout the reach and includes undercut banks, root mats, leaf packs, and small debris jams. UT1 Reach 3 ends at a two- to three-foot exposed soil headcut, just upstream of an eroded meander into the valley toe. UTI Reach 4A/48 UT1 Reach 4 is extensively eroded and incised within the wooded valley, with erosion present on both banks, transverse bars indicative of lateral instability, and sharp meander bends into valley walls. As the stream exits the wood line, the bank heights decrease, the channel narrows, flow deepens, and the stream banks are well vegetated with annual species. The floodplain is broad and alluvial down to the Elk Shoals Creek confluence. Approximately 350 feet downstream from the wood line, a large debris jam has formed at an old fence across the channel. The debris jam has captured fines and appears to function as grade control for the stable area directly upstream. Downstream of the jam is a three-foot exposed soil headcut, and the stream is highly sinuous, eroded, and incised for 100 feet. Downstream of the instability associated with the debris jam and headcut, the stream is largely stable with little erosion. This reach of UT1 Reach 4 had raw eroding banks during site visits in 2010 and 2014, but the absence of cattle over the past two years has promoted vigorous regrowth of vegetation on the stream bank and riparian area. Bars present throughout the channel are vegetated with tall, herbaceous species giving the illusion of low, stable stream banks. Looking closer through the tall vegetation reveals that UT1 Reach 4 is still deeply incised and disconnected from the historic floodplain, despite the herbaceous regrowth. It is expected that the return of cattle will quickly destroy the stabilization of this reach. UTIA UTIA originates at a wetland seep within the project limits. The valley is broad and alluvial, but the stream is deeply incised and disconnected from the historic floodplain. Despite the incision, UTIA is stable with tall, herbaceous vegetation present throughout. 3.4.2 Project Wetlands There are 18 wetlands located within or immediately adjacent to the project area (Wetlands A — R). Refer to Figure 2 for a figure depicting wetland locations. The wetland features are classified as headwater forest wetland types using the North Carolina Wetland Assessment Method (NCWAM) classification key and best professional judgement. The wetlands occur on the side slopes and floodplains that drain to on-site stream channels. The features exhibit one or more of the following wetland hydrology indicators: high water table, iron deposits, saturated within the upper 12 inches of the soil profile, and water -stained leaves. Soils within on-site wetlands have a low chroma (depleted) matrix and redoximorphic features. Common hydrophytic vegetation includes Asian spiderwort (Murdannia keisak), common rush (Juncus effusus), New York ironweed (Vernonia noveboracensis), Pennsylvania smartweed (Persicaria pennsylvania), and shallow sedge (Carex lurida).

These channels have been manipulated for agriculture purposes and, therefore may not fit the classification category exactly as described. Results of the classification are provided for illustrative purposes only. Functional Uplift Potential The potential for functional uplift is qualitatively described in this section using terminology from the Stream Functions Pyramid (Harman, 2012). The Stream Functions Pyramid describes a hierarchy of five stream functions, each of which supports the functions above it on the pyramid (and sometimes Alexander Farm Mitigation Site Draft Mitigation Plan DMS ID No. 100048 Page 10 July 3, 2019 reinforces those below it). The five functions in order from bottom to top are hydrology, hydraulics, geomorphology, physicochemical, and biology. Neither the Stream Functions Pyramid nor the Quantification Tool are proposed to determine success of the mitigation site. 4.1 Hydrology Site hydrology has been altered by the deforestation of approximately 78% of the project watershed. Intensive management of the watershed for livestock has been the major watershed disturbance. These alterations in land cover typically result in reductions in rainfall interception and evapotranspiration which lead to increases in runoff and water yield (Dunne and Leopold, 1978). The primary result of these changes is an increase in both peak flows and base flows. The watershed has adjusted to its landcover changes and the hydrologic regime has stabilized. Based on observations in the watershed, landcover will continue to be dominated by agricultural activities and population growth in the rural area will continue to be low. A stream restoration project performed at a specific site does not often result in uplift to hydrology (Harmon, 2012). Even though trees will be planted within the conservation easement, this will not significantly improve the rainfall -runoff relationship for the watershed. Therefore, there are no significant opportunities for this project to improve the hydrology function of the watershed. 4.2 Hydraulics UTI and UT1A are hydraulically impaired due to their lack of consistent floodplain connection (BHR = 2.0 — 6.4). Medium to large headcuts ranging from 0.5 to 3 feet tall are present throughout the channel. Uplift in hydraulic function will result from reconnecting the streams to the floodplain. Bankfull and high flow velocities, along with channel shear stresses, will be reduced. The channels will be designed to experience out of bank events at a recurrence interval typical of a naturally functioning stream system. All restoration reaches on the project will be constructed with a bank height ratio of 1.0 to 1.1. Changes in stream dimension and improvement of floodplain connectivity will raise the hydraulic function of the Site streams. 4.3 Channel Geomorphology Years of anthropogenic manipulation and watershed impacts for agricultural practices have degraded the streams on Site. Approximately 81% of the length of restoration reaches are incised and 54% are actively eroding. Apart from UTI Reach 3, which is slated for preservation, the riparian vegetation along much of the stream consists of grazed herbaceous cover with only sporadically mature trees. Bedform diversity and habitat is very poor due to sedimentation and incision. Much of the stream is choked with fine sediment due to the active erosion and cow wallows on the upstream extents of the project stream. There is a significant opportunity to improve the geomorphologic function on the Site. Channel dimension will be stabilized on restoration reaches and the incision and bank erosion will be corrected. Aquatic habitat and large woody debris (LWD) will be added to the system through construction of in - stream log structures, bank revetments, and meander pools. A riparian buffer will be planted, resulting in the improved long-term geomorphic function of UTI and UT1A. 4.4 Physicochemical No water quality sampling has been conducted on the Site and there are no water quality monitoring stations within the project watershed. The 2009 Upper Catawba River Basin Restoration Priorities (RBRP) noted the importance of the implantation of agricultural BMPs within heavily agricultural sub -waters of TLWs, including Elk Shoals Creek. Upon execution of the project, the exclusion of cattle within the Site provides a great potential to improve the physicochemical functioning of the streams. A storm water BMP will be installed within the proposed conservation easement at a point of concentrated agricultural input to reduce sediment, Alexander Farm Mitigation Site Draft Mitigation Plan DMS ID No. 100048 Page 11 July 3, 2019 nutrient, and fecal coliform inputs from an adjacent farm field. A riparian buffer will be established within the conservation easement, reducing runoff and erosion of nutrient -rich bank sediments and eventually providing stream shading resulting in reduced water temperatures. Water will flow over in - stream structures, providing aeration. The stream will be reconnected to its floodplain and adjacent floodplain wetlands to provide storage and treatment of overbank flows, and streambank erosion will be greatly reduced, eliminating a source of sediment and nutrients. Time and development of a mature canopy will be required to realize the extent of physicochemical functional lift. For these reasons, physicochemical improvements will not be explicitly monitored for success, although visual observations will be documented, and these observations are expected to show that the Site is trending towards improved function. 4.5 Biology Since no data on the existing communities are available and biologic assessment is not proposed to evaluate the current level of biologic functioning, this function is not rated. Despite the proposed stream and buffer improvements, the biological response may be slow until the physicochemical function is significantly improved. Since the long-term level of improvement is not expected to occur within the seven years of monitoring, the functional uplift potential will not be explicitly monitored. Improvements in biological activity of the Site will likely be noted during visual assessments of the project. 4.6 Overall Functional Uplift Potential Overall, the Site has functional uplift potential consistent with goals outlined in the RBRP, from the improvement in potential habitat to the improvements in stream hydraulics that will be seen throughout the Site with the stream restoration and BMP installation, to the improvements in geomorphology that will come with restoring streams that are suited to the valley types throughout the Site. Physicochemical and biological improvements are a likely result of the project. However, there is no existing basis for classifying the existing condition of these functions and the likely improvements will occur gradually after construction. 4.7 Site Constraints to Functional Uplift The existing road culvert on the easement break of Elk Shoals Loop could potentially affect the functional uplift of the project, but it is not likely it will have any affect on the project since the culvert is functioning and is relatively stable. There are no other known Site constraints that will affect the functional uplift of the project. The valley width on the Site will allow for the development of pattern and dimensions to restore stable, functioning streams and wetlands. The degree to which the physicochemical and biology functions can improve on the Site is limited by the watershed conditions beyond the conservation easement. Regulatory Considerations Table 5, below, is a summary of regulatory considerations for the Site. These considerations are expanded upon in Sections 5.1-5.3.

Currently, there are four species federally listed for this specific county, which include the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), the bog turtle (Glyptemys muhlenbergii), dwarf -flowered heartleaf (Hexastylis naniflora), and the northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) (Table 6). A pedestrian survey conducted on September 7, 2017, indicated that the Site provides potential habitat for the bog turtle, dwarf -flowered heartleaf, and potential summer roosting for northern long-eared bat (NLEB), but no individuals were located at the time. Table 6: Federally Protected Species in Alexander County, NC Species Federal Status Habitat Vascular Plant Dwarf -flowered heartleaf Along bluffs and adjacent slopes, in boggy areas next (Hexastylis naniflora) Threatened to streams and creek heads, and along the slopes of nearby hillsides and ravines.

Northern long-eared bat Roost in 3" dbh dead and alive trees with exfoliating (Myotis septentrionalis) Threatened bark, crevices or hollows during summer months. Caves or mines during winter months. Habitat information from the following website: https://www.fws.gov/raleigh/species/cntylist/alexander.html Forested habitats containing trees at least 3 -inch dbh in the project area provide suitable habitat for NLEB. Due to the decline of the NLEB population from the white -nose syndrome (WNS), the USFWS has issued the finalization of a special rule under section 4(d) of the ESA to addresses the effects of the NLEB resulting from purposeful and incidental take based on the occurrence of WNS. Because the project is located within a WNS zone and will include removal/clearing of trees, it is subject to the final 4(d) ruling. A review of the NCNHP records did not indicate any known NLEB populations within 2.0 mile of the study area; therefore, the project is eligible to use the NLEB 4(d) Rule Streamlined Consultation Form to meet regulatory requirements for section 7(a)(2) compliance 4(d) consultation. A letter requesting comment from the USFWS was sent on February 16, 2018. No response from the USFWS was received within the 30 -day response period. Therefore, the signing of the NLEB 4(d) Rule Alexander Farm Mitigation Site Draft Mitigation Plan DMS ID No. 100048 Page 13 July 3, 2019 Streamlined Consultation Form by the FHWA determines that this project may affect the NLEB, but that any resulting incidental take of the NLEB is not prohibited by the final 4(d) rule. A FHWA signed 4(d) consultation form and the correspondence associated with this determination are included in the Appendix. 5.1.2 Cultural Resources and Significant Natural Heritage Areas Wildlands requested review and comment from the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) with respect to any archeological and architectural resources related to the Site on February 16, 2018. SHPO responded on March 22, 2018 and stated they were aware of "no historic resources which would be affected by the project" and would have no further comment. All correspondence is included in Appendix 5. 5.2 FEMA Floodplain Compliance and Hydrologic Trespass The Site is represented on the Alexander County Unincorporated Areas Flood Insurance Rate Map Panel 3775J, with an effective date of 12/18/2007. Within the Site, Reach 4B is located within a Zone AE Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) regulatory floodplain associated with Elk Shoals Creek. None of the project streams are mapped under the regulatory authority of FEMA. Current Effective FEMA mapping for the Site is overlain with project streams on Figure 6. The stream and floodplain grading within the regulatory floodplain of Elk Shoals Creek will be designed to achieve a no -rise condition and a floodplain development permit will be obtained from the Alexander County floodplain administrator. The proposed design associated with the Site has limited or no risk of potential hydrologic trespass since UTI originates on-site. In addition, wide buffers adjacent to project streams are protected under conservation eliminating the risk to adjacent farm fields. 5.3 401/404 Impacts to existing wetlands will be minimized or avoided as much as possible. The project design will avoid impacting wetlands along relatively stable project reaches designated for Enhancement II or preservation. Approximately 0.32 acres of wetlands will be impacted due to realignment of stream channels and floodplain grading within narrow valleys of restoration reaches. A majority of proposed wetland impacts, approximately 0.30 acres, are in areas currently impacted by cattle grazing. Most existing wetlands will be improved by planting native vegetation and fencing out livestock. Project streams and wetlands will be protected in perpetuity under the conservation easement placed on the property. During construction safety fence will be installed to prevent unintended impacts on site wetlands outside the limits of disturbance. This will fencing be denoted in the final construction plans. Table 7 estimates the anticipated impacts to wetland areas on this project. The Pre -Construction Notification, including this data, will be submitted to the IRT with the Final Mitigation Plan.

Project goals are desired project outcomes and are verifiable through measurement and/or visual assessment. Objectives are activities that will result in the accomplishment of goals. The project will be monitored after construction to evaluate performance as described in Section 9 of this report. The project goals and related objectives are described in Table 8.

Biology 7.0 Design Approach and Mitigation Work Plan 7.1 Design Approach Overview The design approach for this Site was developed to meet the goals and objectives described in Section 6 which were formulated based on the potential for uplift described in Section 4. The design is also intended to provide the expected outcomes in Section 6, though these are not tied to performance criteria. The design approach for this Site utilized a combination of analog and analytical approaches for stream restoration, and also relies on empirical data and prior experiences and observations. Reference reaches were identified to serve as the basis for design parameters. Channels were sized based on design discharge hydrologic analysis which uses a combination of empirical and analytical data as described within this report. Designs were then verified and/or modified based on sediment transport analysis. These design approaches have been used on many successful Piedmont restoration projects and are appropriate for the goals and objectives of this Site. Alexander Farm Mitigation Site Draft Mitigation Plan DMS ID No. 100048 Page 16 July 3, 2019 7.2 Reference Streams Reference streams provide geomorphic parameters of a stable system, which can be used to inform design of stable channels of similar stream types in similar landscapes and watersheds. Eight reference reaches were identified for this Site and used to support the design of streams of the Site (Figure 7). These reference reaches were chosen because of their similarities to the Site streams including drainage area, valley slope, morphology, and bed material. Geomorphic parameters for these reference reaches are summarized in Appendix 4. The references to be used for the specific streams are shown in Table 9. A description of each reference reach is included below. Table 9: Stream Reference Data Used in Development of Design Parameters 7.2.1 Agony Acres UT1 Agony Acres reference reach (UTI - Reach 3) is located in northeast Guildford County, NC. It was identified as a high quality preservation area on the Agony Acres Mitigation Site and was used as a reference reach for that project. Wildlands performed a detailed morphologic survey in March of 2013. The Agony Acres reference reach has a drainage area of 0.3 square miles and is classified as a Rosgen E4 stream type. This site was specifically chosen because the position of the Agony Acres reference reach in the landscape is similar to that of UTI Reach 1A and Reach 113. 7.2.2 UT to Kelly Branch The UT to Kelly Branch reference reach is a small, steep, headwater channel located in the McDowell County. It has a drainage area of 0.08 square miles and is part of the Broad River Basin. The reach classifies as an B4 step -pool channel, but pool depths are negligible as they are filled with sediment from the leaching of an upstream, anthropogenic sediment source. Bankfull channel dimensions of riffle features were fairly uniform and consistent throughout the reach. The channel is sinuous for a high gradient system (sinuosity of 1.19), exhibiting a stable planform while maximizing the width of the valley where possible. Several long gravel/cobble riffles were observed at the site that cascaded into pools over rootmass, woody debris or a boulder step at the tail of riffle. 7.2.3 UT to Austin Branch Located in Buncombe County on the West Range of the Biltmore property, this reference reach is drained by a small forested watershed (0.12 square miles) that empties into Austin Branch which flows directly into the French Broad River. Most of the watershed is wooded except for narrow patches of open, lightly used pastureland located around the upper periphery of the watershed. Surrounding plant communities included various mature hardwoods (white oak, tulip poplar) and understory shrubs (rhododendron, American holly). The channel exhibits a meander pool system with a channel slope of 4% and sinuosity of 1.2. This reach of UT to Austin Branch classifies as an A4/134a type channel with a width to depth ratio of 8.8. Stream access to the floodplain is ample reporting an entrenchment ratio of Alexander Farm Mitigation Site Draft Mitigation Plan DMS ID No. 100048 Page 17 July 3, 2019 Design Stream UT1 Reach 1A 1B 4A 4B Reference Stream Stream Type Agony Acres UT1 E4 X X UT to Kelly Creek 134/134a X X UT to Austin Branch B4a/A4 X X Timber Tributary B4 X X UT to Lyle Creek C5 X X UT to Varnals Creek C4/E4 X X Walker Branch E4 X X Box Creek C4 X X 7.2.1 Agony Acres UT1 Agony Acres reference reach (UTI - Reach 3) is located in northeast Guildford County, NC. It was identified as a high quality preservation area on the Agony Acres Mitigation Site and was used as a reference reach for that project. Wildlands performed a detailed morphologic survey in March of 2013. The Agony Acres reference reach has a drainage area of 0.3 square miles and is classified as a Rosgen E4 stream type. This site was specifically chosen because the position of the Agony Acres reference reach in the landscape is similar to that of UTI Reach 1A and Reach 113. 7.2.2 UT to Kelly Branch The UT to Kelly Branch reference reach is a small, steep, headwater channel located in the McDowell County. It has a drainage area of 0.08 square miles and is part of the Broad River Basin. The reach classifies as an B4 step -pool channel, but pool depths are negligible as they are filled with sediment from the leaching of an upstream, anthropogenic sediment source. Bankfull channel dimensions of riffle features were fairly uniform and consistent throughout the reach. The channel is sinuous for a high gradient system (sinuosity of 1.19), exhibiting a stable planform while maximizing the width of the valley where possible. Several long gravel/cobble riffles were observed at the site that cascaded into pools over rootmass, woody debris or a boulder step at the tail of riffle. 7.2.3 UT to Austin Branch Located in Buncombe County on the West Range of the Biltmore property, this reference reach is drained by a small forested watershed (0.12 square miles) that empties into Austin Branch which flows directly into the French Broad River. Most of the watershed is wooded except for narrow patches of open, lightly used pastureland located around the upper periphery of the watershed. Surrounding plant communities included various mature hardwoods (white oak, tulip poplar) and understory shrubs (rhododendron, American holly). The channel exhibits a meander pool system with a channel slope of 4% and sinuosity of 1.2. This reach of UT to Austin Branch classifies as an A4/134a type channel with a width to depth ratio of 8.8. Stream access to the floodplain is ample reporting an entrenchment ratio of Alexander Farm Mitigation Site Draft Mitigation Plan DMS ID No. 100048 Page 17 July 3, 2019 4.3. Habitats identified in UT to Austin Branch (downstream) include cobble riffles, boulder/cobble steps, plunge pools, and meander pools. 7.2.4 Timber Tributary Timber Tributary Reference Reach is a B4 classified channel in the northern portion of the Yadkin River Basin. It has a drainage area of approximately 0.04 square miles. The stream meanders through confined valley surrounded by mature trees. The channel has a moderate slope of 3.2%, and a channel sinuosity of 1.12. This system supports varied habitats which included woody debris, rock riffles and meander pools. 7.2.5 UT to Lyle Creek UT to Lyle Creek is a perennial stream flowing through the broad, flat floodplain of Lyle Creek. UT to Lyle's watershed is wooded, and the stream is fully connected to the floodplain with a bank height ratio of 1.0 and an entrenchment ratio of over 2.5. The width -to -depth ratio ranges from approximately 15 to 18, and the overall valley slope is approximately 0.8%. UT to Lyle Creek has a sinuosity of 1.1 and classifies as a straight, C5 stream channel. In -stream habitat features within this reach include shallow pools, woody debris, and small sections of tree roots. 7.2.6 UT to Varnals Creek The UT to Varnals reference reach is located in south central Alamance County, NC near the Cane Creek Mountains. Wildlands visited UT to Varnals in September 2014 and visually confirmed that the land use is unchanged from reported conditions and that the stream is laterally and vertically stable. Wildlands conducted a detailed morphological survey in October 2014. UT to Varnals has a drainage area of 0.41 square miles and is classified as a Rosgen E4 stream type for the majority of the reach. UT to Varnals has a valley slope of 2.0% and a channel slope of 1.7%. The riffle pool sequences and spacing of grade control structures on UT to Varnals were used in the plan and profile development for these reaches where native bedrock control is lacking. 7.2.7 Walker Branch The Walker Branch reference is located in Northeastern Rutherford County. The dataset was used as a reference stream for the Cane Creek Restoration prepared by Restoration Systems and Axiom Environmental in 2007. The drainage area is 0.29 square miles and the land use within the drainage area is a semi -mature forest. The Walker Branch reference site was classified as a C4/E4 stream type with a sinuosity of 1.4. The channel has a width to depth ratio ranging from 8.9 —12.2 and an entrenchment ratio greater than 2.5. The reach has a valley slope of 2.6% while the channel slope is 1.5%. The bed material d50 for the reach is 27.8 mm. 7.2.8 Box Creek The Box Creek reference reach site is part of the Broad River Basin located in Rutherford County and has a drainage area of 2.13 square miles. The entire watershed is forested, and the reference reach site is located approximately a quarter mile upstream from a large pond. The reach is characterized by short riffles, deep pools, and long shallow runs. This moderately sinuous reach (1.19) classifies as a C4 channel and has a high width/depth ratio of 21.9. This reach reported a bank height ratio of 1.5 but banks were typically stable due to a large extent of woody vegetation lining each bank, especially along the outer bends of a few tight meanders. In -stream habitat structures included undercut banks, woody debris, and coarse substrate from which fish have built several gravel piles for nesting. 7.3 Design Channel Morphological Parameters Reference reaches were an important source of information to develop the cross-section, pattern, and profile design parameters for the restoration reaches. Ranges of pattern parameters were developed within the reference reach parameter ranges with some exceptions based on best professional Alexander Farm Mitigation Site Draft Mitigation Plan DMS ID No. 100048 Page 18 July 3, 2019 judgement and experience from previous projects. For example, radius of curvature ratio has been kept above 2.0 on all reaches. Wildlands has found this minimum ratio, and others, support stable geometry. Pool depths were designed to be a minimum of 1.2 times deeper than riffles to provide habitat variation. Cross-section parameters such as area, depth, and width were designed based on the design discharge, stable bank slopes, and width to depth ratios similar to reference conditions. Key morphological parameters for the restoration reaches are listed in Table 10 and Table 11. Complete morphological tables for existing, reference, and proposed conditions are included in Appendix 4.

The resulting values were compared, and best professional judgment was used to determine the specific design discharge for each restoration reach. Each of the methods is described below. 7.4.1 Regional Curve Data Bankfull discharge was estimated using the published NC Rural Piedmont Curve (Harman et al., 1999) as well as the updated NRCS curve for rural Piedmont and mountain streams (Walker, unpublished) as shown on Figure 8. 7.4.2 Wildlands Regional USGS Rural Piedmont Calculator Wildlands developed a regional flood frequency analysis tool that tailored the USGS 2009 publication Magnitude and Frequency of Rural Floods in the Southeastern United States, through 2006 to the Piedmont of North Carolina. Of the 103 stations referenced in the publication, 23 were used in the development of the tool. To fill gaps in data, five additional stations were added by Wildlands to represent streams with drainage areas less than one square mile. The Hosking and Wallis homogeneity test was performed in R© to identify the most appropriate gages based on homogeneity (Hosking and Wallis, 1993). The gages used were: • USGS 02096740 — Gun Branch near Alamance, NC (DA = 4.06 mi') • USGS 02096846 — Cane Creek near Yadkin Grove, NC (DA = 7.54 mi') • USGS 02097010 — Robeson Creek near Pittsboro, NC (DA = 1.71 mi') • USGS 02101030 — Falls Creek near Bennett, NC (DA = 3.43 mi') • USGS 0210166029 — Rocky River at SR1300 near Crutchfield Crossroads, NC (DA = 7.42 mi') The data from these 28 gage stations were used to develop flood frequency curves for the 1.2 -year and 1.5 -year recurrence interval discharges. These relationships can be used to estimate discharge of those recurrence intervals for ungaged streams in the same hydrologic region and were solved for each project reach's discharge with the drainage area as the input. The discharge estimates are shown on Figure 8 as the USGS Rural Piedmont Calculator 1.2 -yr Predictions. 7.4.3 Site Specific Reference Reach Curve Eight reference reaches were identified for this project; four B -type channels and four C-type channels. Each reference reach was surveyed to develop information for analyzing drainage area -discharge relationships as well as development of design parameters. Stable cross-sectional dimensions and channel slopes were used to compute a bankfull discharge with the Manning's equation for each reference reach. The resulting discharge values were plotted with drainage area and compared the other discharge estimation methods. 7.4.4 Maximum Discharge (Manning's Equation) A riffle cross-section was surveyed on each restoration reach on the Site. Due to the existing impairments throughout Site streams, bankfull indicators were weak and not considered reliable for estimating a bankfull discharge. Instead, Manning's equation was used to calculate a discharge associated with the top of banks for all project streams. Stream slope was calculated from the surveyed channel slope, and roughness was estimated using guidelines from Chow (1959). Alexander Farm Mitigation Site Draft Mitigation Plan DMS ID No. 100048 Page 22 July 3, 2019 7.4.5 Design Discharge Analysis Summary The design discharges for each restoration project reach were developed so that the reconstructed channels will flood with the desired frequency. Results from each of the methods described above were evaluated and compared to the other methods. For this analysis the most emphasis was placed on the results from the regional flood frequency (1.2), piedmont regional curve, and reference reach curve. Because of the desire to achieve frequent floodplain interaction, design discharges were selected close to the lower end of the range of values produced by the estimation methods. Tables 12 gives a summary of the discharge analysis. Table 12: Summary of Design Discharge Analysis 7.5 Sediment Transport Analysis To assess the magnitude of the bed load supply on the project streams, Wildlands performed a qualitative assessment of the sediment volume and sources in the project watershed through aerial photography and field reconnaissance. On-site streams were visually inspected to qualitatively asses aggradation and degradation within the channels. At the site level, lack of pool habitat and an abundance of fine sediment in project reaches provides evidence that the current lack of riparian vegetation and disturbance in the floodplain from livestock is overloading the carrying capacity of the project streams and their ability to move on-site sediment. Additionally, observations of incised channels and actively eroding banks provide evidence the channels are actively degrading, due to incision and a lack of an established riparian buffer. Once the project is constructed, on-site sediment sources will be addressed by protecting streambanks, stabilizing concentrated flows, excluding livestock and stabilizing the riparian corridor with vegetation. The focus of sediment transport analysis for this design was to verify that the design channels will be stable over time and can pass sediment from the watershed. 7.5.1 Competence Analysis Competence analyses were performed during design for each of the restoration reaches by comparing shear stress associated with the design bankfull discharge, proposed channel dimensions, and proposed channel slopes with the size distribution of the existing bed load. The analysis utilized standard equations based on a methodology using the Shields (1936) curve and Andrews (1984) equation described by Rosgen (2001). This analysis is used to verify that the design will move the bed load material supplied to the stream. The results of the analysis are shown in Table 13.

This analysis is used to verify that the design will move the bed load material supplied to the stream. The results of the analysis are shown in Table 13. Alexander Farm Mitigation Site Draft Mitigation Plan DMS ID No. 100048 Page 23 July 3, 2019 Table 13: Results of UT1 Competence Analysis The initial competence analysis was based on the size material naturally found in the stream to mimic potential bed load. The results were used to inform further design of the reach. The excess shear throughout all existing Site streams influenced the design of rock and wood step structures to provide grade control and increase roughness within the channel. Riffles with larger materials, such as chunky riffles, were also integrated into the design as grade control. The proposed D5o and Dioo for the constructed riffles on all stream reaches will be sized so that the reconstructed channels will not produce enough shear stress to entrain the largest particles in these structures. This will ensure a stable pavement while allowing for bed load material to be active within the system. It is important to note that while the proposed channel slope of Reach 4A/413 exceeds the critical slope, degradation will be avoided through grade control structures and properly sized stone in the riffles. 7.6 Project Implementation 7.6.1 Overview The mitigation approaches proposed for the streams on the Site have been developed to achieve the potential for functional uplift relative to the existing conditions on the site (described in Section 4). The site plan includes elements of stream restoration, enhancement II, and preservation as described below. Figure 9 shows the approaches proposed for the project reaches. Restoration reaches will be constructed as Priority 1 except where Priority 2 grading is needed to transition with existing grade elevations. Restoration reaches have been designed to create stable, functional stream channels based on reference reach parameters, design discharge analysis, and sediment transport analysis. Dimension, pattern and profile have been designed for all restoration reaches to provide a cross-sectional area sized for frequent overbank flows, a stable bed with variable bedforms, well -vegetated bank slopes, and improvements to aquatic habitat and water quality enabling biological life. Improved vertical and lateral stability will reduce stream channel erosion. Diverse bedforms will be established using in -stream structures appropriate for the geomorphic settings. These structures will provide grade control to prevent incision and serve as habitat features. Pools will have varied depths to increase habitat diversity and mimic natural streams. For Enhancement II the dimension, pattern, and profile will remain the same, and mitigation activities will include localized bank stabilization and repairs in areas where damage is more significant. Mid channel bars will be excavated, and the existing alignment will be stabilized. Invasive vegetation will be treated by either excavation or herbicide. Cattle will also be excluded from the stream. The localized repairs, invasive treatment, and cattle exclusion will return the stream to a functional state, enhancing water quality and improving aquatic and terrestrial habitat along the reach.

The site plan includes elements of stream restoration, enhancement II, and preservation as described below. Figure 9 shows the approaches proposed for the project reaches. Restoration reaches will be constructed as Priority 1 except where Priority 2 grading is needed to transition with existing grade elevations. Restoration reaches have been designed to create stable, functional stream channels based on reference reach parameters, design discharge analysis, and sediment transport analysis. Dimension, pattern and profile have been designed for all restoration reaches to provide a cross-sectional area sized for frequent overbank flows, a stable bed with variable bedforms, well -vegetated bank slopes, and improvements to aquatic habitat and water quality enabling biological life. Improved vertical and lateral stability will reduce stream channel erosion. Diverse bedforms will be established using in -stream structures appropriate for the geomorphic settings. These structures will provide grade control to prevent incision and serve as habitat features. Pools will have varied depths to increase habitat diversity and mimic natural streams.

Mid channel bars will be excavated, and the existing alignment will be stabilized. Invasive vegetation will be treated by either excavation or herbicide. Cattle will also be excluded from the stream. The localized repairs, invasive treatment, and cattle exclusion will return the stream to a functional state, enhancing water quality and improving aquatic and terrestrial habitat along the reach. Alexander Farm Mitigation Site Draft Mitigation Plan DMS ID No. 100048 Page 24 July 3, 2019 Reaches that are stable and functioning will be preserved to protect them from future impacts from cattle, agricultural production, timbering and/or site development. Timbering is set to occur in the near future on the adjacent forested buffer along UTI Reach 4. Timber limits are established approximately 30 -ft — 50 -ft outside of the conservation easement to provide additional wooded buffer. Vernal pools will be placed at discrete runoff locations within the conservation easement to provide additional protection from timbering practices. Preservation protection will protect against habitat degradation from these land disturbing activates. In -stream structures for restoration reaches will include riffles, boulders sills, log sills, log j -hooks, log vanes, brush toe, geolifts and lunker logs. The structures will reinforce channel stability and serve as habitat features. Constructed riffles will be built from excavated on-site rock when possible. Quarry stone may be used if an on-site source cannot be found. Constructed riffles will incorporate woody material and logs, which will provide varied pore spaces within the riffles and benefit hyporheic exchange processes and habitat formation. The diverse range of constructed riffle types will provide grade control, habitat diversity and will create varied flow vectors. Log j -hooks and vanes will deflect flow vectors away from banks while adding to habitat diversity. Log and boulder sills will be used to allow for small grade drops across pools. At select outer meander bends, the channel banks will be constructed with brush toe revetments to reduce erosion potential, encourage pool maintenance, and provide varied pool habitat. Lunker logs will also be used in the meander bends to provide pool habitat variability and provided stream bank stability. Sod harvested on-site and/or coir fiber matting will be used to provide bank protection. Each of the project reaches will be placed in a conservation easement to protect the project in perpetuity. Cattle will be excluded from the entire easement area. The streambanks and floodplains will be planted with native tree and shrub species to re-establish a wooded riparian buffer in areas that are currently lacking a buffer. Wildlands is working with the landowners to install cattle watering systems at several location as part of the project implementation. 7.6.2 UT1 Reach 1A and 18 UTI Reach 1A and 113 will be improved through Priority 1 restoration. The channel will be raised to reconnect to the existing floodplain. In -stream structures will be added for stream stability, grade control and habitat variability. A native vegetative buffer will be established, and invasive multiflora rose and Japanese honeysuckle will be treated. Livestock will also be excluded from the project reach. 7.6.3 UT1 Reach 2 UTI Reach 2 will be improved through an enhancement II approach. A native riparian buffer will be established, and invasive species will be treated. At one significant cattle wallow area, mid channel bars will be excavated, and the channel will be stabilized to create a single thread channel. Cattle will be excluded from the reach. 7.6.4 UT1 Reach 3 Reach 3 is slated for Preservation. The reach is currently stable and exhibits mature vegetation. The major stressor on this reach is from the fine sediment load from bank erosion upstream, however coarse substrate is visible through the fine sediment. Desirable aquatic habitat is present throughout the reach and includes undercut banks, root mats, leaf packs, and small debris jams. Stabilizing the upstream reaches will allow for this reach to remain stable and reduce the sediment load. Chinese privet will be removed along the reach. Alexander Farm Mitigation Site Draft Mitigation Plan DMS ID No. 100048 Page 25 July 3, 2019 7.6.5 UT1 Reach 4A and 48 UTI Reach 4A and 4B will be improved through a combination of Priority 1 and Priority 2 restoration. Priority 2 restoration will occur on the first 200 linear feet of the upstream tie-in and the last 100 feet of the downstream tie-in. The majority of the channel will be raised to connect to the existing floodplain. In -stream structures will be added for grade control, bank stability, and habitat creation. A buffer will be established along the reach and livestock will be excluded from the project reach. Invasive alligator weed, Chinese privet, and multiflora rose will be removed along the project reach. 7.6.6 UT1A Enhancement II is slated for UT1A. While the channel will be raised to be connected to the existing floodplain, stream alignment will not be changed. A native vegetative buffer will be established, and invasive multiflora rose will be treated. Livestock will be excluded from the reach. 7.6.7 Step Pool Stormwater Conveyance (SPSC) A step pool stormwater conveyance system will be constructed to treat storm flows within the ephemeral channel that confluences with UTI Reach 4B. The step pool system will convey runoff from the adjacent pasture in a stable manner. Additional activities along this reach include cattle exclusion, treatment of invasive Chinese privet and multiflora rose, and the of replanting native vegetation. 7.7 Vegetation and Planting Plan The objective of the planting plan is to establish, over time, a 50 -foot riparian buffer composed of native tree species. This restored buffer will improve riparian and wetland habitat, help the restored streams remain stable, shade the streams, and provide a source of LWD and organic material to the streams. Non -forested areas within the conservation easement will be planted with bare root tree species and permanent riparian seed mix. In shaded areas, existing canopy will be supplemented where necessary with additional bare root planting (trees and shrubs) to increase the density of woody species and seeded with riparian seed mix in disturbed areas. Proposed buffer plantings are generally early successional native vegetation which have been chosen to develop species diversity and are listed on Sheet 3.0 of the preliminary design plans located in Appendix 10. The specific species composition to be planted was selected based on the community type, observation of occurrence of species in riparian buffers adjacent to the Site, and best professional judgement on species establishment and anticipated Site conditions in the early years following project implementation. In addition, the stream banks will be planted with live stakes and the channel toe will be planted with multiple herbaceous species. Permanent herbaceous seed will be spread on streambanks, floodplain areas, and disturbed areas within the project easement. Invasive species within the riparian buffers will be treated at the time of construction. The extent of invasive species coverage will be monitored, mapped, and controlled as necessary throughout the required monitoring period. 7.8 Project Risk and Uncertainties In general, this project has low risk. Due to the rural nature of the watershed, there is very little risk that changes in land use upstream in the project watershed would alter the hydrology or sediment supply enough to damage the project streams after construction. Two easement breaks will be part of the Site: a new internal culvert crossing on UTI Reach 1 and an external existing culvert crossing under Elk Shoals Church Loop road, between UTI Reach 2 and Reach 3. Stone will be placed along the entrance and exit of the UTI Reach 1 culvert to dissipate energy and provide stability. The existing culvert under Elk Shoals Church Loop appears stable and functioning. Alexander Farm Mitigation Site Draft Mitigation Plan DMS ID No. 100048 Page 26 July 3, 2019 8.0 Performance Standards The stream performance standards for the project site will follow approved performance standards presented in the NC IRT Wilmington District Stream and Wetland Compensatory Mitigation Update (10/24/2016) and presented in the DMS Stream and Wetland Mitigation Plan Template and Guidance (June 2017). Annual monitoring and semi-annual site visits will be conducted to assess the condition of the finished project. Specific performance standard components are proposed for stream morphology, hydrology, and vegetation. Performance standards will be evaluated throughout the seven-year post - construction monitoring. 8.1 Streams 8.1.1 Dimension Riffle cross-sections on the restoration reaches should be stable and should show little change in bankfull area, maximum depth ratio, and width -to -depth ratio. Per NC IRT guidance, bank height ratios shall not exceed 1.2 and entrenchment ratios shall be at least 1.4 for restored B channels and 2.2 for restored C channels to be considered stable. All riffle cross sections should fall within the parameters defined for channels of the appropriate stream type. If any changes do occur, these changes will be evaluated to assess whether the stream channel is showing signs of 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. 8.1.2 Pattern and Profile Visual assessments and photo documentation should indicate that streams are remaining stable and do not indicate a trend toward vertical or lateral instability. Signs of instability may include bank scour, bank migration, and bed incision. 8.1.3 Substrate Restoration reaches should show maintenance of coarser materials in the riffle features and smaller particles in the pool features. A reach -wide pebble count will be performed in each restoration reach each monitoring year for classification purposes. A pebble count will be performed at each surveyed riffle to characterize the pavement during the baseline monitoring only. Riffles may fine over the course of monitoring due to the stabilization of contributing watershed sediment sources. 8.1.4 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 of mid -channel bars 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. 8.1.5 Bankfull Events The occurrence of bankfull events will be documented throughout the monitoring period. Four bankfull flow events must be documented within the seven-year monitoring period. The four bankfull events must occur in separate years. Bankfull events will be documented using photographs and either a crest gage or a pressure transducer, as appropriate for Site conditions. The selected measurement device will be installed in the stream within a surveyed riffle cross section. The device will be checked at each site visit to determine if a Alexander Farm Mitigation Site Draft Mitigation Plan DMS ID No. 100048 Page 27 July 3, 2019 bankfull event has occurred. Photographs will also be used to document the occurrence of debris lines and sediment deposition. 8.2 Vegetation The final vegetative success criteria will be the survival of 210 planted stems per acre in the riparian corridors at the end of the required monitoring period (MY7). The interim measure of vegetative success for the site will be the survival of at least 320 native species stems per acre at the end of the third monitoring year (MY3) and at least 260 stems per acre at the end of the fifth year of monitoring (MY5). Planted vegetation must average 7 feet in height in each plot at the end of MY5 and 10 feet in height at Year 7. The extent of invasive species coverage will also be monitored and controlled as necessary throughout the required monitoring period. If this performance standard is met by year five and stem density is trending towards success (i.e., vigor) and invasive species are not threatening ecological success, monitoring of vegetation on the Site may be terminated with written approval by the USACE in consultation with the NC IRT. Vegetation monitoring quadrants will be installed across the Site to measure the survival of the planted trees. The number of monitoring quadrants required, and frequency of monitoring will be based on the DMS monitoring guidance documents. Vegetation monitoring will occur between July 1St and leaf drop and will follow the CVS-EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation (2008) or another DMS approved protocol. 8.3 Visual Assessments Visual assessments should support the specific performance standards for each metric as described above. 9.0 Monitoring Plan The Site monitoring plan has been developed to ensure that the required performance standards are met, and project goals and objectives are achieved. Annual monitoring data will be reported using the DMS Annual Monitoring Reporting Template (June 2017). The monitoring report shall provide project data chronology that will facilitate an understanding of project status and trends, ease population of DMS databases for analysis and research purposes, and assist in close-out decision making. Using the DMS As -Built Baseline Monitoring Report Template (June 2017), a baseline monitoring document and as -built record drawings of the project will be developed following the planting completion and monitoring installation on the restored site. Monitoring reports will be prepared in the fall of each monitoring year and submitted to DMS by November 30. These reports will be based on the DMS Annual Monitoring Template (June 2017) and Closeout Report Template (June 2017). Full monitoring reports will be submitted to DMS in monitoring years 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7. Abbreviated monitoring reports will be submitted in monitoring years 4 and 6. The closeout monitoring period will extend seven years beyond completion of construction or until performance standards have been met. Table 14, below, describes how the monitoring plan is set up to verify that project goals and objectives have been achieved.

Alexander Farm Mitigation Site Draft Mitigation Plan DMS ID No. 100048 Page 31 June 3, 2019 10.0 Long -Term Management Plan The Site will be transferred to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Stewardship Program. This party shall serve as conservation easement holder and long-term steward for the property and will conduct periodic inspection of the site to ensure that restrictions required in the conservation easement are upheld. The NCDEQ Stewardship Program is developing an endowment system within the non -reverting, interest-bearing Conservation Lands Conservation Fund Account. The use of funds from the Endowment Account will be governed by North Carolina General Statue GS 113A - 232(d)(3). Interest gained by the endowment fund may be used for stewardship, monitoring, stewardship administration, and land transaction costs, if applicable. The Stewardship Program will periodically install signage as needed to identify boundary markings as needed. Any future livestock or associated fencing or permanent crossings will be the responsibility the owner of the underlying fee to maintain. The Site Protection Instrument can be found in Appendix 7. Table 16: Long-term Management Plan Long -Term Management Activity Long -Term Manager Responsibility Landowner Responsibility The landowner shall report damaged or missing signs to the long-term manager, as well as Signage will installed and The long-term steward will be contact the long-term manager if maintained all ong the Site responsible for inspecting the Site a boundary needs to be marked, boundary to denote the area boundary and for maintaining or or clarification is needed protected by the recorded replacing signage to ensure that the regarding a boundary location.

Project maintenance will be performed during the monitoring years to address minor issues as necessary (Appendix 8). If, during annual monitoring it is determined the Site's ability to achieve Site performance standards are jeopardized, Wildlands will notify the members of the IRT and work with the IRT to develop contingency plans and remedial actions. Alexander Farm Mitigation Site Draft Mitigation Plan DMS ID No. 100048 Page 32 July 3, 2019 12.0 Determination of Credits Mitigation credits presented in Table 17 are projections based upon the proposed design. Upon completion of the as -built survey, the project components and credits data will be revised if necessary with explanations of how and why any adjustments occurred. As -built stream linear footage will be based on surveyed stream center lines for credit calculations. The requested stream restoration credit ratio of UTI Reach 1A, 113, and 2 is 2:1. While Reach 1A and 1B consist primarily of restoration and Reach 2 consists primarily of Enhancement II activities (spot repair, cattle exclusion, and buffer planting), Wildlands requests a ratio of 2:1 for the three reaches. This is due to the length of transition from full restoration to heavy enhancement upstream of the proposed culvert crossing and transitional channel stabilization downstream of the culvert crossing. Preservation is requested at a ratio of 10:1 for UTI Reach 3. UTI Reach 4A begins with a section that transitions from preservation to Priority 1 restoration. This transition section is request at a 2.5:1 ratio. The remainder of Reach 4A and the entire length of Reach 4B is restoration requested at a 1:1 ratio. UT1A consists of Enhancement II. No credit is being requested for this reach since it primarily consists of adjusting the profile to tie into the raised UTI elevation. No credit is being requested for the storm water BMP. Appendix 4 contains the IRT site meeting minutes and subsequent credit release memo that provides more details on how the credit ratios were developed.

Quad: NC- Stony Point NOTIFICATION OF JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION Requestor: Jennifer & Scott Combs, Pollv & Henry Van Hov Address: 10 Court Square Mocksville, NC 27028 Telephone Number: 704-332-7754 ext 108 Size (acres) 20.3 Nearest Town Stonv Point Nearest Waterway Elk Shoals Creek River Basin Catawba USGS HUC 03050101 Coordinates Latitude: 35.812060 Longitude: -81.120889 Location description: The site is located at/near 795 Elk Shoals Church Loot) Road, near Stonv Point, NC. Indicate Which of the Following Apply: A. Preliminary Determination ® There appear to be waters, including wetlands on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). The waters, including wetlands have been delineated, and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently accurate and reliable. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated 7/3/2019. Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction determination may be used in the permit evaluation process, including determining compensatory mitigation. For purposes of computation of impacts, compensatory mitigation requirements, and other resource protection measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat all waters and wetlands that would be affected in any way by the permitted activity on the site as if they are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. This preliminary determination is not an appealable action under the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process (Reference 33 CFR Part 331). However, you may request an approved JD, which is an appealable action, by contacting the Corps district for further instruction. ❑ There appear to be waters, including wetlands on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). However, since the waters, including wetlands have not been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdiction determination may not be used in the permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation, this preliminary determination is merely an effective presumption of CWA/RHA jurisdiction over all of the waters, including wetlands at the project area, which is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision. We recommend that you have the waters, including wetlands on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps. B. Approved Determination ❑ There are Navigable Waters of the United States within the above described project area/property subject to the permit requirements of Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification. ❑ There are waters, including wetlandson the above described project area/property subject to the permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) (33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification. ❑ We recommend you have the waters, including wetlands on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps. ❑ The waters, including wetlands on your project area/property have been delineated and the delineation has been verified by the Corps. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated DATE. We strongly suggest you have this delineation surveyed. Upon completion, this survey should be reviewed and verified by the Corps. Once 2018-00451 verified, this survey will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWA jurisdiction on your property which, provided there is no change in the law or our published regulations, may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years. ❑ The waters, including wetlands have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat signed by the Corps Regulatory Official identified below onDATE. Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification. ❑ There are no waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, present on the above described project area/property which are subject to the permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification. ❑ The property is located in one of the 20 Coastal Counties subject to regulation under the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA). You should contact the Division of Coastal Management in Morehead City, NC, at (252) 808-2808 to determine their requirements. Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US, including wetlands, without a Department of the Army permit may constitute a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC § 1311). Placement of dredged or fill material, construction or placement of structures, or work within navigable waters of the United States without a Department of the Army permit may constitute a violation of Sections 9 and/or 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33 USC § 401 and/or 403). If you have any questions regarding this determination and/or the Corps regulatory program, please contact Amanda Jones at 828-271-7980 ext. 4225 or amanda. iones(dusace.armv.mil. C. Basis For Determination: See the preliminary jurisdictional determination form and maps (Figure 3) dated 07/03/2019. D. Remarks: This determination applies to the assessment area outlined on the attached maps and in association with the development of a compensatory mitigation bank site known as Alexander Farm Mitigation Site. E. Attention USDA Program Participants This delineation/determination has been conducted to identify the limits of Corps' Clean Water Act jurisdiction for the particular site identified in this request. The delineation/determination may not be valid for the wetland conservation provisions of the Food Security Act of 1985.

Further, an AID, a proffered individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an administrative appeal, it becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will provide an AID to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds that there "may be" waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be" navigable waters of the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information: SUPPORTING DATA. Data reviewed for PJD (check all that apply) Checked items should be included in subject file. Appropriately reference sources below where indicated for all checked items: ® Maps, plans, plots or plat submitted by or on behalf of the PJD requestor: Map: GIS figures including Vicinity, USGS Topographic, Delineation, & Soils. ® Data sheets prepared/submitted by or on behalf of the PJD requestor. ❑ Office concurs with data sheets/delineation report. ❑ Office does not concur with data sheets/delineation report.

These site inspections may identify the presence of invasive vegetation. If, during the monitoring period, invasive species threaten the survivability of planted woody vegetation in an area that exceeds 1% of the planted easement acreage, the invasive species shall be treated. Smaller areas may be treated at the discretion of the project engineer and biologist, if deemed in the best interest of the Site. Generally, the treatment plan shall follow the below guidelines in Table 1 for common invasive species found in riparian areas; however, the treatment may be changed based on the professional judgement of the project engineer and biologist. For invasive species not listed in the below table that threaten the survivability of the planted woody vegetation, Wildlands shall notify DMS of the invasive species observed and the plan for treatment prior to treating the species. All invasive species treatment will be reported in the following year's monitoring plan. Table 1. Invasive Species Treatment —Alexander Farm Mitigation Site Invasive Species Recommended Removal Technique Small infestations of L. japonica can be pulled by hand. Monitor to remove any re -sprouts. Care should be taken to bag and remove the plants, including mature fruits to prevent re - Japanese establishment. Large infestations of L. japonica will usually require a combination of cut Honeysuckle stump and foliar herbicide treatments. Where vines have grown into the tree canopy, cut (Lonicera each stem as close to the ground as possible. Treat the freshly cut surface of the rooted japonica) stem with a 25 percent solution of glyphosate or triclopyr. Remove the twining vines to prevent them from girdling and killing desirable vegetation. Groundcovers of L. japonica can be treated with a foliar solution of 2 percent glyphosate or triclopyr plus a 0.5 percent non-ionic surfactant to thoroughly wet all the leaves. Thoroughly wet all leaves with one of the following herbicides in water with a surfactant: a glyphosate herbicide as a 3 -percent solution (12 ounces per 3 -gallon mix) in the late fall or early winter when safety to surrounding vegetation is desired, or elsewhere, Arsenal AC* as a 1 -percent solution (4 ounces per 3 -gallon mix). Backpack mist blowers can broadcast glyphosate as a 3 -percent solution (12 ounces per 3 -gallon mix) or Escort XP* at 1 ounce per acre (0.2 dry ounces per 3 -gallon mix and 10 gallons per acre) during winter for safety to dormant hardwoods. Summer applications of glyphosate may not be as effective as other times and require a higher percent solution. The best time for Arsenal AC* and Escort XP* is summer to fall. For stems too tall for foliar sprays and when safety to surrounding vegetation is desired, apply a basal spray of Garlon 4 as a 20 -percent solution (5 pints per Chinese Privet 3 -gallon mix) in a labeled basal oil product, vegetable oil or mineral oil with a penetrant, or (Ligustrum fuel oil or diesel fuel (where permitted); or undiluted Pathfinder II. Elsewhere, apply sinense) Stalker* as a 6- to 9 -percent solution (1.5 to 2 pints per 3 -gallon mix) in a labeled basal oil product, vegetable oil or mineral oil with a penetrant, or fuel oil or diesel fuel (where permitted) to young bark as a basal spray making certain to treat all stems in a clump; or cut and immediately treat the stump tops with Arsenal AC* as a 5 -percent solution (20 ounces per 3 -gallon mix) or Velpar L* as a 10 -percent solution in water (1 quart per 3 - gallon mix) with a surfactant. When safety to surrounding vegetation is desired, immediately treat stump tops and sides with Garlon 3A or with a glyphosate herbicide as a 20 -percent solution (5 pints per 3 -gallon mix) in water with a surfactant. ORTHO Brush-B- Gon and Enforcer Brush Killer are effective undiluted for treating cut -stumps and available in retail garden stores (safe to surrounding plants). For large stems, make stem injections using Arsenal AC* or when safety to surrounding vegetation is desired, Garlon 3A or a glyphosate herbicide using dilutions and cut -spacings specified on the herbicide label Alexander Farm Mitigation Site Appendix 6 DMS ID No. 100048 Page 1 March 2019 Invasive Species Recommended Removal Technique (anytime except March and April). An EZ-Ject tree injector can help to reach the lower part of the main stem; otherwise, every branching trunk must be hack -and -squirt injected. Foliar Spray Method: This method should be considered for large thickets of seedlings and small saplings where risk to nontarget species is minimal. Air temperature should be above 65'F to ensure absorption of herbicides. Glyphosate: Apply a 2% solution of glyphosate or triclopyr and water plus a 0.5% non-ionic surfactant to thoroughly wet all leaves. Use a low pressure and coarse spray pattern to reduce spray drift damage to non -target species. Glyphosate is a non-selective systemic herbicide that may kill non -target partially -sprayed plants. Tree of Heaven Cut Stump Method: This control method should be considered when treating individual (Ailanthus trees or where the presence of desirable species precludes foliar application. Stump altissima) treatments can be used if the ground is not frozen. Triclopyr: Horizontally cut stems at or near ground level. Immediately apply a 25% solution of triclopyr and water to the cut stump making sure to cover the outer 20% of the stump. Hack and Squirt and Stem Infection Methods: To effectively treat larger saplings to mature trees using the hack and squirt methods, make cuts to the cambium spaced 1" apart and arranged horizontally around the stem. Immediately apply a 50% solution of triclopyr or 25% solution of glyphosate into the cuts. An EZ-Ject tree injector or other similar tool can be used to treat saplings to mature trees. These treatments should occur from mid -late summer to late fall. Foliar Spray Method: This method should be considered for large thickets of paulownia seedlings where risk to non -target species is minimal. Air temperature should be above 65'F to ensure absorption of herbicides. Glyphosate: Apply a 2% solution of glyphosate and water plus a 0.5% non-ionic surfactant to thoroughly wet all leaves. Use a low pressure and coarse spray pattern to reduce spray drift damage to non -target species. Glyphosate is a non-selective systemic herbicide that may kill non -target partially -sprayed plants. Triclopyr: Apply a 2% solution of triclopyr and water plus a 0.5% non-ionic sur-factant to thoroughly wet all leaves. Use a low pressure and coarse spray pattern to reduce spray drift damage to non -target species. Triclopyr is a selective herbicide for broadleaf species. In areas where desirable grasses are growing under or around paulownia, triclopyr can be used without non -target damage. Princess Tree Cut Stump Method: This control method should be considered when treating individual (Paulownia trees or where the presence of desirable species precludes foliar application. Stump tomentosa) treatments can be used if the ground is not frozen. Glyphosate: Horizontally cut stems at or near ground level. Immediately apply a 25% solution of glyphosate and water to the cut stump making sure to cover the outer 50% of the stump. Triclopyr: Horizontally cut stems at or near ground level. Immediately apply a 50% solution of triclopyr and water to the cut stump making sure to cover the outer 20% of the stump. Hack and Squirt and Stem Infection Methods: To effectively treat larger saplings to mature trees using the hack and squirt methods, make cuts to the cambium spaced 1" apart and arranged horizontally around the stem. Immediately apply a 50% solution of triclopyr or 25% solution of glyphosate into the cuts. An EZ-Ject tree injector or other similar tool can be used to treat saplings to mature trees. These treatments should occur from mid -late summer to late fall. https://www.se-eppc.org/manual/princess.htmi Alexander Farm Mitigation Site Appendix 6 DMS ID No. 100048 Page 2 March 2019 Invasive Species Recommended Removal Technique Foliar Spray Method: Apply MSM at 1 ounce per acre between April and June. May to October apply a 4% solution of glyphosate and water plus a 0.5% non-ionic surfactant to thoroughly wet all leaves. Use a low pressure and coarse spray pattern to reduce spray drift damage to non -target species. Glyphosate is a non-selective systemic herbicide that Multiflora Rose may kill non -target partially -sprayed plants. (Rosa multiflora) Cut Stump Method: This control method should be considered when treating individual stems or where the presence of desirable species precludes foliar application. Stump treatments can be used if the ground is not frozen. Glyphosate: Horizontally cut stems at or near ground level. Immediately apply a 20% solution of glyphosate and water to the cut stump making sure to cover the outer 50% of the stump. Alligator edera Two herbicide treatments with a 2 percent solution of glyphosate plus a surfactant (Alternanth (formulations approved for aquatic sites), 1 in the spring and 1 in the fall, have shown to be philoxeroides) most effective for the initial treatment of alligatorweed. When the weed is reduced to a maintenance level, only annual treatments should be required.

Alexander Farm Mitigation Site Appendix 7 DMS ID No. 9100048 Page 1 March 2018 APPENDIX 8 Maintenance Plan Appendix 8 Maintenance Plan The site shall be visited semi-annually and a physical inspection of the site shall be conducted a minimum of once per year throughout the post -construction monitoring period until performance standards are met. These site inspections may identify site components and features that require routine maintenance. Routine maintenance should be expected most often in the first two years following site construction and may include the following: Table 1. Maintenance Plan —Alexander Farm Mitigation Site Component/ Feature Maintenance through project close-out Routine channel maintenance and repair activities may include chinking of in -stream structures to prevent piping, securing of loose coir matting, and supplemental installations of live stakes and other target vegetation along the channel — these shall be conducted where success criteria are threatened or at the discretion of the Designer. Areas where Stream storm water and floodplain flows intercept the channel may also require maintenance to prevent bank failures and head -cutting. Beaver activity will be monitored and beaver dams on project streams will typically be removed, at the discretion of the Designer, during the monitoring period to allow for bank stabilization and stream development outside of this type of influence. Vegetation shall be maintained to ensure the health and vigor of the targeted community. Routine vegetation maintenance and repair activities may include supplemental planting, Vegetation pruning, mulching, and fertilizing. Exotic invasive plant species requiring treatment per the Invasive Species Treatment Plan (Appendix 6) shall be treated in accordance with that plan and with NC Department of Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations. Site boundaries shall be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between the mitigation site and adjacent properties. Boundaries may be identified by fence, marker, Site boundary bollard, post, tree -blazing, or other means as allowed by site conditions and/or conservation easement. Boundary markers disturbed, damaged, or destroyed will be repaired and/or replaced on an as -needed basis.

Under no circumstances shall any mitigation project be debited until the necessary Department of the Army (DA) authorization has been received for its construction or the District Engineer (DE) has otherwise provided written approval for the project in the case where no DA authorization is required for construction of the mitigation project. The DE, in consultation with the Interagency Review Team (IRT), will determine if performance standards have been satisfied sufficiently to meet the requirements of the release schedules below. In cases where some performance standards have not been met, credits may still be released depending on the specifics of the case. Monitoring may be required to restart or be extended, depending on the extent to which the site fails to meet the specified performance standard. The release of project credits will be subject to the criteria described as follows: Table A: Credit Release Schedule Monitoring Interim Total Credit Release Activity Year Release Released 0 Initial Allocation — see requirements below 30% 30% First year monitoring report demonstrates performance 1 10% 40% standards are being met Second year monitoring report demonstrates performance 2 standards are being met 10% 50% (60%) (additional 10% released at second bankfull event in a separate year) Third year monitoring report demonstrates performance 60% 3 standards are being met o 10% (70%) Fourth year monitoring report demonstrates performance 65% 4 standards are being met 5% (75%) Fifth year monitoring report demonstrates performance 75% 5 standards are being met 100 (85%) Sixth year monitoring report demonstrates performance 80°% 6 standards are being met 5% (90%) Seventh year monitoring report demonstrates performance 90% 7 standards are being met and project has received closeout approval o 10% (100%) 1.1 Initial Allocation of Released Credits The initial allocation of released credits, as specified in the mitigation plan can be released by DMS without prior written approval of the DE upon satisfactory completion of the following activities: a. Approval of the final Mitigation Plan. b. Recordation of the preservation mechanism, as well as a title opinion acceptable to the USACE covering the property. c. Completion of project construction (the initial physical and biological improvements to the mitigation site) pursuant to the mitigation plan; per the DMS Instrument, construction means that a mitigation site has been constructed in its entirety, to include planting, and an as -built report has been produced. As -built reports must be sealed by an engineer prior to project closeout, if appropriate but not prior to the initial allocation of released credits. d. Receipt of necessary DA permit authorization or written DA approval for projects where DA permit issuance is not required. Alexander Farm Mitigation Site Appendix 11 DMS ID No. 100048 Page 1 May 2019 1.2 Subsequent Credit Releases All subsequent credit releases must be approved by the DE, in consultation with the IRT, based on a determination that required performance standards have been achieved. For stream projects a reserve of 10% of a site's total stream credits shall be released after two bankfull events have occurred, in separate years, provided the channel is stable and all other performance standards are met. In the event that less than two bankfull events occur during the monitoring period, release of these reserve credits shall be at the discretion of the IRT. As projects approach milestones associated with credit release, the DMS will submit a request for credit release to the DE along with documentation substantiating achievement of criteria required for release to occur. This documentation will be included with the annual monitoring report. Alexander Farm Mitigation Site Appendix 11 DMS ID No. 100048 Page 2 May 2019 w WILDLANDS ENGINEERING MEETING NOTES MEETING: Post -Contract IRT Site Walk ALEXANDER FARM Mitigation Site Catawba 03050101; Alexander County, NC DEQ Contract No. 7416 DMS Project No. 100048 Wildlands Project No. 005-02169 DATE: Thursday, March 29, 2018 LOCATION: Elk Shoals Church Loop Stony Point, NC Attendees Steve Kichefski, USACE Harry Tsomides, DMS Mac Haupt, DWR Olivia Munzer, WRC Kirsten Ullman, DMS Shawn Wilkerson, Wildlands Todd Bowers, EPA Alan Johnson, DWR Christine Blackwelder, Wildlands Paul Wiesner, DMS Ori Tuvia, DWR Materials • Wildlands Engineering Technical Proposal dated 9/21/2017 in response to DMS RFP 16-007277 Meeting Notes The meeting began at 1 pm. Shawn presented an overview of the project at the parking location. From there, the group walked upstream to the headwaters of UTI, retraced steps and reviewed UTI downstream of the road, UT1A, and the potential wetland area in the left floodplain at the downstream site extents. The meeting concluded at 3:30 PM. 1. Overall project comments • Bald eagle is listed for Alexander County. No bald eagle nest noticed in vicinity, nor is there a record adjacent to the site. • Alexander family house (historical) located near the site. • Olivia recommends that no trees are cleared during bat maternity roosting period (June/July). 2. Potential Wetland Credit Areas Steve noted that if wetlands are included in the project, he or William Elliott (USACE) will do a more thorough review of the site when they return for the jurisdictional determination. ALEXANDER FARM Mitigation Site — IRT Meeting Notes • Upstream of road o There area few wetland pockets in the right floodplain just upstream of the road, and several more in the left floodplain upstream of the proposed stream crossing. o Steve asked that wetland pockets be encompassed by the easement, even if not for credit. • Downstream of road o If needed, the area in the left floodplain that is currently ditched has potential for wetland credits. o Discussion about the need to drop a well into any wetland proposed for restoration credit to begin pre -construction data collection asap. 3. Stream Restoration • Upstream of the road o The group walked up to the head of UTI. Cattle have been rotated out of this pasture and are in the pasture downstream of the road. o The start of UTI is a large cattle wallow area. Shawn discussed that Wildlands may install a BMP to treat concentrated agricultural runoff above the reach. o Mac noted the soils at the head of UTI and that this area may have been a wetland before the headcut advanced through and formed a stream channel. o Several members of the group noted that UTI here has a lot of side seeps and noted areas of channel recovery from the absence of cattle over the last few months. One area of UTI here just upstream of a headcut has very low banks and the group discussed tying design into this area. Shawn noted the planar bed and lack of habitat but did agree that Wildlands may utilize good areas of existing channel in the restoration design. o Continuing downstream, Olivia expressed concern over how close the proposed crossing is to the existing left floodplain wetland. The valley walls are relatively steep near the proposed crossing, and Wildlands will likely shift this crossing further downstream to where crossing will be easier for the farmer, which should also address any wetland concerns. o The crossing shown in the proposal marks a transition from restoration upstream to enhancement 2 downstream, although the group agreed that there isn't a clearly defined transition point in the field. The proposed enhancement 2 section will require some areas of restoration or enhancement I, and some of the restoration area may be fine with a lighter touch. o Overall, upstream of the road, the group discussed restoration at 1:1 credit from the head of the channel down to the existing fence line, and enhancement 2 at 2:1 credit from the fence line to the road. This would shorten the proposed restoration footage in this area by approximately 400 feet. • Downstream of the road o Within the woods, the group generally agreed with a preservation approach. At the headcut which marked the proposed transition from preservation to restoration, the group agreed that a transitional length of enhancement 2 was appropriate. This transitional length will continue until the stream enters the active cattle pasture, where the approach will switch to restoration down to the end of the project. Wildlands Engineering, Inc. page 2 ALEXANDER FARM Mitigation Site Post -Contract IRT Site Walk ALEXANDER FARM Mitigation Site — IRT Meeting Notes o The restoration downstream of the road was presented in the proposal at 1.5:1 credit due to the amount of floodplain vegetation which had established in absence of the cattle over the last two years. The group noted the extreme difference in the floodplain vegetation and channel condition since the cattle have been rotated back into the field, and that the reach is worthy of traditional 1:1 crediting. o Olivia noted underground flow from the left floodplain near the downstream project extent. These may be drain tiles from the field. Wildlands will review this more carefully during the existing conditions assessment. These meeting minutes were prepared by Christine Blackwelder and reviewed by Shawn Wilkerson on April 13, 2018, and represent the authors' interpretation of events. Olivia Munzer comments (May 7, 2018) were incorporated on May 15, 2018. These minutes are now final. Wildlands Engineering, Inc. page 3 ALEXANDER FARM Mitigation Site Post -Contract IRT Site Walk w WILDLANDS ENGINEERING MEMO REGARDING: Credit Ratios ALEXANDER FARM Mitigation Site Catawba 03050101; Alexander County, NC DEQ Contract No. 7416 DMS Project No. 100048 Wildlands Project No. 005-02169 DATE: Monday, April 16, 2018 In the September 26, 2017, Technical Proposal for the Alexander Farm Mitigation Site, Wildlands presented various credit ratios for UTI upstream and downstream of Elk Shoals Church Loop road based on the channel conditions at the time of the proposal. This memo reflects changes to the proposed credit ratios in response to discussion during the IRT field walk of the site on March 29, 2018. Upstream of the road The stream crossing shown in the proposal marked the proposed transition from restoration at 1:1 credit to enhancement 2 at 2.5:1 credit; however, during the IRT field walk, the group agreed that there isn't a clearly defined transition point in the field. The proposed enhancement 2 section will require some areas of restoration or enhancement I, and some of the restoration area may be fine with a lighter touch. The IRT group discussed restoration at 1:1 credit from the head of the channel down to the existing fence line (which crosses the channel upstream of the stream crossing), and enhancement 2 at 2:1 credit from the fence line to the road. This would shorten the restoration footage presented in the proposal in this area by approximately 400 feet. After the meeting, Wildlands reviewed the contracted credit requirements, and given the large area of transition from restoration to enhancement 2 upstream of the road, Wildlands will likely propose the entire area upstream of the road as enhancement 2 at 2:1 credit in the mitigation plan and apply the appropriate level of intervention needed throughout the reach. Downstream of the road Within the woods, the IRT group generally agreed with the preservation approach presented in the proposal. At the headcut which marked the proposed transition from preservation to restoration, the group agreed that a transitional length of enhancement 2 was appropriate. This transitional length will continue until the stream enters the active cattle pasture, where the approach will switch to restoration down to the end of the project. The Alexander Farm tenant farmer rotates his 175 -head herd between the pasture upstream of the road in spring and summer and the downstream of the road in fall and winter. Wildlands visited the Site several times between 2010 and 2015 and confirmed this land management practice. Over the 2 years prior to submittal of the proposal, however, the tenant farmer kept the herd upstream of the road to allow for fencing repair and ALEXANDER FARM Mitigation Site—Credit Memo replacement downstream of the road. During this time, he cut hay downstream of the road, but allowed the riparian area to grow with annuals. During the proposal process, the farmer told Wildlands that his repairs would soon be complete and he would then move the herd downstream of the road. Despite incision throughout the channel length, Wildlands proposed a lower credit ratio of 1.5:1 for restoration downstream of the road to acknowledge the reach's heavy herbaceous cover due to the absence of recent cattle activity. The farmer completed his fencing repairs after the proposal was submitted and moved his herd downstream of the road. During the IRT site walk on March 29, 2018, the IRT group noted that all the riparian vegetation was gone and impacted by cattle. IRT members, Wildlands, and DMS all felt that the restoration activities proposed downstream of the road were now creditable at a 1:1 ratio. Wildlands proposes this section of restoration at 1:1 credit. Please see the attached figure which illustrates the proposed shift in credit ratios. All proposed credit ratios will be fully justified in the mitigation plan.
