Project Status: Complete
Monitoring Level required by COE and DWR (404 permit/ 401 Cert.): Level
NCDWR Permit: Compensatory mitigation for impacts to jurisdictional streams shall be
provided by onsite stream relocations of 350 linear feet of perennial stream at Site 3 and 5.
The permittee shall visually monitor the vegetative plantings to assess and ensure complete
stabilization of the mitigation stream segments. The monitoring shall be conducted annually
for a minimum of 3 years after final planting. Photo documentation shall be utilized to
document the success of the riparian vegetation and submitted to the NCDWR in a final
report within 60 days after completing monitoring. After 3 years the NCDOT shall contact
the NCDWR to schedule a site visit to close out the mitigation site.
NCDOT will restore onsite 18,314 square feet of Zone 1 Buffer and 10,769 square feet of
Zone 2 Buffer. In accordance with 15A NCAC 02B.0242(9), riparian vegetation
establishment shall include a minimum of at least 2 native hardwood tree species planted at a
density sufficient to provide 320 trees per acre at maturity. The permittee shall monitor the
buffer mitigation site. The monitoring shall be conducted annually for a minimum of 3 years
after final planting. Photo documentation shall be utilized to document the success of the
riparian vegetation and that diffuse flow through the riparian buffer has been maintained.
Documentation shall be submitted to the NCDWR in a final report within 60 days after
completing monitoring. After 3 years the NCDOT shall contact the NCDWR to schedule a
site visit to close out the mitigation site.
All onsite mitigation sites shall be protected by a conservation easement or through NCDOT
fee simple acquisition and recorded in the NCDOT Natural Environment Unit mitigation
geodatabase.
Section 1. PHOTO REFERENCE SITES
(Monitoring at all levels must complete this section)
Total number of reference photo locations at this site: A total of 8 photos were taken
from 6 photo point locations.
Dates reference photos have been taken at this site: 9-6-4 7, 6-6-4 8, 6-4 9-19
Individual from whom additional photos can be obtained (name, address, phone):
Other Information relative to site photo reference: A site map is included with this report showing the
photo point locations.
Section 2. PLANT SURVIVAL
Attach plan sheet indicating reference photos.
Identify specific problem areas (missing, stressed, damaged or dead plantings):
Estimated causes, and proposed/required remedial action:
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: NCDOT completed planting these sites in March 2017 with silky
dogwood and black willow live stakes along the streambank and willow oak, river birch, swamp
chestnut oak, tulip poplar, and black ,gum within the buffer restoration areas.
Year 1 Monitoring: In September 2017, plant survival counts at Vegetation Plot #1 were
conducted at Site 3 with the results showing an average density of 680 trees per acre, which is
above the success criteria of 320 trees per acre after the first year of monitoring. Sites 5, 6, & 7
were visually inspected for plant survival and noted trees surviving within the planted areas.
Supplemental Planting & Signing: In April 2018, a supplemental planting was completed at
Sites 5, 6, & 7 with sycamore and river birch bareroot seedlings. All W-5107 mitigation sites
were signed as well.
Year 2 Monitoring: In June 2018, plant survival counts at Vegetation Plot #1 were conducted
at Site 3 with the results showing an average density of 680 trees per acre, which is above the
success criteria of 320 trees per acre after the second year of monitoring. Sites 5, 6, & 7 were
visually inspected for plant survival and noted trees surviving within the planted areas. Black
willow and silky dogwood live stakes were noted surviving along the streambanks.
Year 3 Monitoring: In June 2019, plant survival counts at Vegetation Plot #1 were conducted
at Site 3 with the results showing an average density of 680 trees per acre, which is above the
success criteria of 320 trees per acre after the third year of monitoring. Sites 5, 6, & 7 were
visually inspected for plant survival and noted trees surviving within the planted areas. Black
willow and silky dogwood live stakes were noted surviving along the streambanks. Other
species noted on site included pine, fennel, briars, soft rush, red maple, sweetgum, alder,
goldenrod, cattatil, elderberry, woolgrass. and various grasses. NCDOT proposes to discontinue
plant survival monitoring at this site.
If required to complete Level 1 and Level 2 monitoring only stop here; otherwise,
complete section 3.

Section 3. CHANNEL STABILITY
Visual Inspection: The entire stream project as well as each in -stream structure and bank
stabilization/revetment structure must be evaluated and problems addressed.
Report on the visual inspection of channel stability. Physical measurements of channel
stability/morphology will not be required. Include a discussion of any deviations from as -built
and an evaluation of the significance of these deviations and whether they are indicative of a
stabilizing or destabilizing situation.
The stream relocations are stable for the Year 3 monitoring evaluation. NCDOT proposes to discontinue channel

Section 4. DEBIT LEDGER
The Bawdy Swamp (Site 3) and Quicosin Swamp (Sites 5, 6 & 7) stream mitigation sites were
used at a 1:1 ratio for the W-5107 project to offset 350 linear feet of unavoidable stream impacts.
