Send all suspicious email as an attachment to report.spam@nc.gov Hello All, Please see attached an updated PCN (original submitted on June 6, 2019) and a couple of pages of the mitigation plan for the Scout Mitigation Project within the RES Yadkin 01 Umbrella Bank. These edits are in response to an IRT site visit the 25th and 26th of June and follow up comments from NCDWR. Attached are four documents: (1) updated pages and figures to the Final Mitigation Plan due to credit change from the non-standard buffer tool, (2) two additional design sheets, (3) a revised PCN, and (4) the updated PJD as of June 18th, 2019. Per IRT request, RES conducted an additional assessment of the jurisdictional features on site (see attached updated PJD conducted on July 18th, 2019). One feature, CH3 was added to the PJD. Also in response to comments two additional sheets have been added to the design sheets, a tie-in for a feature (CH3) at the top of HC3 and another tie in for the ditch feature (CH4) at the bottom of HC3. The addition of CH3 as a jurisdictional feature affected the non-standard buffer calculation and therefore 4 credits will be loss due to this addition. Therefore, pages 1 and 29 of the mitigation plan have been updated, Figure 5: Existing Conditions and Figure 10: Concept Design have been updated, and the non- standard buffer credit calculator tool export has been updated. Most notable revisions in the PCN document are the updates to the Stream Impact Table (addition of S4) and the update to Figure 6 — Project Impacts Map (addition of S4 temporary impacts due to grading for the tie-in of CH3 into HC3). This added an additional 122 linear feet of temporary impacts to the stream. Therefore, the total stream impacts for the site have increased from 2,552 linear feet to 2,674 linear feet. The total wetland impacts will remain the same. Thank you for your prompt attention to this important project. Please contact myself or Brad Breslow (bbreslow@res.us) if you have any questions or require any additional information. Jamey Jamey Redding McEachran Ecology Team Lead RES I res.us Mobile: 919.623.9889 I PROJECT INTRODUCTION 1.1 Project Components The Scout Mitigation Site (the "Project") is located within a rural watershed in Davie County, approximately eight miles west of Clemmons and five miles northwest of Bermuda Run. The Project lies within the Yadkin River Basin, North Carolina Department of Water Resources (NCDWR) sub - basin 03-07-02 and United States Geological Survey (USGS) 14 -digit hydrologic unit code (HUC) 03040101160010 (Figure 1). The Project proposes to restore 2,686 linear feet (LF) of stream, enhance 458 LF of stream, and provide water quality benefit for 810 acres of drainage area. The Project is in the Southern Outer Piedmont Level IV ecoregion. The Project area is comprised of a single easement located along Hauser Creek and two unnamed tributaries, totaling 2,801 existing LF, which eventually drain into the Yadkin River. The stream mitigation components are summarized in Table 1 and Figure 10. The Project is located between two sections of the overall 27 -acre Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) Mockingbird Site (Figure 1). The Project is accessible from Spillman Road, through the Project parcel. Coordinates for the Project are as follows: 36.030798, -80.516312. 1.2 Project Outcomes The streams proposed for restoration have been historically impacted by livestock production, agricultural practices, and a lack of riparian buffer. Proposed improvements to the Project will meet the river basin needs expressed in the 2009 Upper Yadkin Pee -Dee River Basin Restoration Priorities (RBRP) as well as ecological improvements to riparian corridor within the easement. Through stream restoration and enhancement, the Project presents 3,144 LF of proposed stream, generating 2,918 Warm Stream Mitigation Units (SMU) (Table 1). Table 1.

Upon completion of site construction, the project components and credits data will only be revised to be consistent with the as -built condition if there is a large discrepancy and with an approved mitigation plan addendum. This will be approved by the USACE. Table 15. Mitigation Credits *SMUs are adjusted in accordance with Section XI(C)- "Wilmington District Stream Buffer Credit Calculator", supplied to Providers in the January 2018, from the USACE. A detailed description of the methodology and calculations is described below and in Figure(s) 11. 6.6 Credit Calculations for Non -Standard Buffer Widths Buffer measurements for additional credit were made horizontally, beginning from the edge of the wetted perimeter and extending to easement boundary. Due to the minimum required widths, additional credit was not generated until a stream is at least 50 feet inside the edge of the buffer. Table 16 describes the adjustments in stream credit based on buffer widths. Areas within the project that are being used to generate additional credit are solely being used for the generation of stream mitigation credits and will not be used for the generation of any other credit type (i.e., the same square foot of buffer cannot be used to generate wetland credit, nutrient offset credits or state buffer credits).

'Equal to the number of feet of stream in each Mitigation Type. If stream reaches are not creditable, they should be excluded from this measurement, even if they fall within the easement. °This amount is the maximum buffer area possible based on the linear footage of stream length if channel were perfectly straight with full buffer width. This number is not used in calculations, but is provided as a reference. 'Maximum potential size (in square feet) of each buffer zone measured around all creditable stream reaches, calculated using GIS, including areas outside of the easement. The inner zone (0-15') should be measured from the top of the OHWM or the edge of the average stream width if OHWM is not known. Non -creditable stream reaches within the easement should be removed prior to calculating this area wtih GIS. 'Square feet in each buffer zone, as measured by GIS, excluding non -forested areas, all other credit type (e.g., wetland, nutrient offset, buffer), easement exceptions, open water, areas failing to meet the vegetation performance standard, etc. Additional credit is given to 150 feet in buffer width, so areas within the easement that are more than 150 feet from creditable streams should not be included in this measurement. Non -creditable stream reaches within the easement should be removed prior to calculating this area wtih GIS. W A rEq�G Y ! ! a o Y Office Use Only: Corps action ID no. DWQ project no.

Proiect Information and Prior Proiect History 3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the proiect at the time of this application: The Scout Mitigation Site (the "Project") is located within a rural watershed in Davie County, approximately eight miles west of Clemmons and five miles northwest of Bermuda Run. he Project is located within the Yadkin River Basin, North Carolina Department of Water Resources (NCDWR) sub -basin 03-07-02 and United States Geological Survey (USGS) 14 -digit hydrologic unit code (HUC) 03040101160010. The Project area is contained within two parcels, where the conservation easement totals 13.22 acres. Hauser Creek is the main hydrologic feature in the Project. There are also two unnamed tributaries and one wetland area included within the Project. Land -use around the Project is characterized by active pasture and woodland. The total drainage area for the Project is 810 acres (1.26 mi2). Primary land use within the rural watershed consists of approximately 49% agriculture, 39% forest, and 8% residential. Impervious area covers approximately two percent of the total watershed. Due to its location and proposed improvements, the Project will provide numerous ecological and water quality benefits within the Yadkin River Basin. There is currently a total of 2,801 existing linear feet of stream, and is made up of Hauser Creek, and two unnamed tributaries (CHI and CH2) that drain to Hauser Creek, and ultimately to the Yadkin River. There is one wetland located within the project (Wetland D), that is approximately 0.75 acres in size. Furthermore, The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetland Inventory Map (NWI) does not depict any potential wetland areas within the Project In general, all or portions of Hauser Creek, CH1, and CH2 do not function to their full potential. Current conditions demonstrate significant habitat degradation as a result of impacts from agricultural land use, and water diversion. Most portions of the streams do not access their floodplains as frequently as they naturally would have prior to agricultural operations. In most cases, the riparian buffer is in poor condition where much of the riparian buffer is devoid of trees or shrubs. Habitat along the majority of the restoration reaches is poor in that there is little woody debris or overhanging vegetation for fish cover or protection for other aquatic species. 3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed proiect. The objective for this stream project is to restore and enhance design natural waterways with the appropriate cross-sectional dimension and slope that will provide function and meet the appropriate success criteria for the existing streams complexes. Accomplishing this objective entails the restoration of natural stream characteristics, such as stable cross sections, planform, and in -stream habitat. The floodplain areas will be hydrologically reconnected to the channel to provide natural exchange and storage during flooding events. PCN Supplemental Information - Scout Mitigation Project The design will be based on reference conditions, USACE guidance, and criteria that are developed during this project to achieve success. Additional project objectives include restoring the riparian buffer with native vegetation, ensuring hydraulic stability, and treating invasive species. 3e. Describe the overall proiect in detail, includiniz the type of equipment to be used. Stream restoration efforts along the tributaries of the Project will be accomplished through analyses of geomorphic conditions and watershed characteristics. The design approach applies a combination of analytical and reference reach based design methods that meet objectives commensurate with both ecological and geomorphic improvements. Proposed treatment activities may range from minor bank grading and planting to re-establishing stable planform and hydraulic geometry. For reaches requiring full restoration, natural design concepts have been applied and verified through rigorous engineering analyses and modeling. The objective of this approach is to design a geomorphically stable channel that provides habitat improvements and ties into the existing landscape. The Project will include Priority I Restoration and Enhancement Level II. Stream restoration will incorporate the design of a single -thread meandering channel, with parameters based on data taken from reference sites, published empirical relationships, regional curves developed from existing project streams, and NC Regional Curves. Analytical design techniques will also be a crucial element of the project and will be used to determine the design discharge and to verify the design as a whole. Current stream conditions along the proposed restoration reaches exhibit habitat degradation as a result of historic impacts from livestock and channelization performed to promote agricultural and residential activities. Additionally, the riparian buffer is in poor condition throughout most of the Project area where much of the riparian buffer is devoid of trees or shrubs and active pasture or maintained field is present up to the edge of the existing channel. The Project design approach began with a thorough study of existing conditions, including the onsite streams, valleys, and watershed. Design parameters, including active channel, habitat and floodplain features were developed from analyses performed on the reference site data. Analytical design techniques were used to determine the design discharge and to verify the design as a whole. Engineering analysis will be performed using various hydrologic and hydraulic models to verify the reference reach based design. A combination of methods will be used to estimate bankfull flows, and flows corresponding to other significant storm events. A HEC -RAS model will then be used to simulate water surface elevations of flows generated by the hydrologic analysis. The development of the HEC model is an important component to the design; therefore, model input parameters are field verified when possible. Through this hydrologic analysis, the design discharge (typically referenced as bankfull or dominant discharge) will be determined. The subsequent design will be based on this calculated discharge. As part of the design process, a qualitative analysis of sediment supply will be performed by characterizing watershed conditions. A combination of windshield surveys, existing land use data, and historical aerial photography, followed up by ground truthing, will be analyzed to assess existing and past watershed conditions and to determine if any changes occurred that would significantly impact sediment supply. Design parameters developed through the analyses of reference reach data, watershed characterizations, and hydrologic and hydraulic modeling will be confirmed using the Stable Channel Design function and/or the Sediment Transport Analysis components within HEC -RAS in conjunction with shear stress and velocity analyses. PCN Supplemental Information - Scout Mitigation Project Geomorphic and habitat studies will be performed concurrently with the engineering analyses. While stream design will be verified by simulations of hydrology and fluvial processes, analogs of desirable habitat features will be derived from reference sites and integrated into the project design. Both in -stream and riparian habitat features will be designed. In -stream structures will be used throughout the project to act as grade control and for bank stabilization by dissipating and redirecting the stream's energy. Bank stability may further be enhanced through the installation of brush mattresses, live stakes and cuttings bundles. Sections of abandoned stream channel will be backfilled with material excavated from on-site to the elevation of the floodplain in areas adjacent to the new channel, installing channel plugs where necessary. The floodplain will be planted with native species creating a vegetated buffer, which will provide numerous water quality and ecological benefits. Stream banks will be stabilized using a combination of grading, erosion control matting, bare -root plantings, native material revetment techniques (i.e., bioengineering), structure placement, and sod transplants where possible. The stream and adjacent riparian areas will be protected by a minimum 50 -foot conservation easement which will be fenced to exclude livestock as needed. The Project has been broken into the following design reaches: Reach HC3 — This reach begins on the south end of the project and flows north towards the Mockingbird Mitigation Site, transitioning off site through a proposed 24 LF of 48 -inch double barrel RCP at a 40 -foot -wide conservation easement break. This is the main reach of the project and is proposed to restore 2,686 LF. Sparse woodland and actively managed pasture is located adjacent to the reach. Restoration activities will include constructing a new channel within the natural valley with appropriate dimensions and pattern and backfilling the abandoned channel. In -stream structures such as log sills, brush toes, rock cross vanes, and log vanes will be installed for stability and to improve habitat. Habitat will further be improved through buffer plantings. Proposed buffer activities will improve riparian areas that will filter runoff from adjacent pastures, thereby reducing nutrient and sediment loads to the channel. A hunting blind near the northern portion of the reach will be removed, as well as an existing crossing. Reach CH1— This reach is a tributary on the western side of HO and flows east. This reach totals 348 linear feet of Enhancement II. Sparse woodland and actively managed pasture is located adjacent to the reach. Enhancement activities will include improving habitat through supplemental buffer plantings. The widening and restoration of the riparian areas along the left bank will filter runoff from adjacent pasture, reduce sediment loads, and provide wildlife corridors throughout the Project area. Reach CH2 — This reach is a tributary on the western side of HO and flows east. This reach totals 110 linear feet of Enhancement II. Sparse woodland and actively managed pasture is located adjacent to the reach. Enhancement activities will include improving habitat through supplemental buffer plantings. The widening and restoration of the riparian areas along the left bank will filter runoff from adjacent pasture, reduce sediment loads, and provide wildlife corridors throughout the Project area. PCN Supplemental Information - Scout Mitigation Project C. Proposed Impacts Inventory 2h. Comments: Wetland impacts associated with restoration efforts occurring adjacent to the existing wetland will be minimized by the restoration plan. Creating a new stream channel and enhancing existing channels will only impact wetlands slightly and will provide an overall increase in wetland function with the addition of native trees and shrubs along the stream banks. There will be a total of 0.29 acres of wetland impacts, where 0.26 acres are permanent impacts, and the remaining 0.03 acres are temporary impacts. 3i. Comments Impacts due to the relocation of the stream to natural valley will provide a net gain in ecological function to the stream and wetland system. Restoration is proposed along this reach to address channel degradation and bank erosion: Stream Impact 1, the existing length is 2,484 linear feet, and the new length will be 2,686 linear feet. Furthermore, the extension of CH2 through the old foot print of HC3 is accounted for in Stream Impact 1. Two stream impacts are associated with the installation of a culvert (Stream Impact 2, and Stream Impact 3). These impacts will occur between the Scout Mitigation Project and the Mockingbird Mitigation Project. Stream Impact 2, is the temporary impact due to the installation of a 48 -inch double barrel culvert; where Stream Impact 3 is the permanent impact due to the culvert installation. D. Impact Justification and Mitigation la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in desieninz proiect: Due to the nature of this project, complete avoidance is not possible. Both stream and wetland impacts were considered when designing the Scout Mitigation project. This project should uplift the ecological quality of streams and wetlands on site. The existing channel length is 2,801 LF. The proposed project will result in 3,144 LF of stream. Stream Mitigation Proposed Reach Mitigation Type Existing Length (LF) Proposed Length (LF) HC3 Restoration 2,484 2,686 CHI Enhancement II 249 348 CH2 Enhancement II 68 110 Total 2,801 3,144 1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts throueh construction techniques: Impacts are minimized using a staged construction approach. Where possible the channel will be constructed prior to turning stream flow into a segment. This approach allows minimization of the impact of each stage during the project construction. Additionally, all work in wetlands and streams will be conducted during dry conditions and/or with mats to protect soil structure. Efforts will be made to preserve individual high value trees located within the stream restoration area. PCN Supplemental Information - Scout Mitigation Project F. Supplementary Information 8.b.
