Slingshot Comment Responses for DMS comments dated 8/9/19

1. Per Contract, specifically Sections 3.2 and 6.2 of RFP 16-007330 and Addendum 1 of the RFP, DMS
needs the final approved Financial Assurance (performance bond) before the Final Mitigation Plan can
be approved and any payment made. Note this is a different requirement than Appendix F in this
deliverable.
Noted

2. Run spell check and grammar check on entire document.
A spell check and grammar check were run on the entire document.

3. Change all references to Main Channel to Slingshot Creek to better align with the project name and
minimize confusion.
All references to Main Channel were changed to Slingshot Creek.

4. Digital Files
a. Ensure that all the stream, wetland, and planting area design shapefiles are properly labeled and
attributed to reflect reaches, acreages, assets/credits in Table 1 as required by contract and stated in
DMS’s Format, Data Requirements, and Content Guidance for Electronic Drawings.
Asset and planting shapefiles were properly segmented, and lengths/acreages, reach ID, and mitigation
treatments were listed in the attribute tables to match Table 1.
b. Given the IRTs preferred reliance on the asset determinations from the MP stage, DMS requests that
the geometries (properly segmented and attributed) are provided.
Geometries are provide in the attributes of the asset shapefiles.

5. Table 1, pages 3 & 4
a. Please replace Table 1 with the most updated DMS template found at
Required_DMS_Mit_Plan_Tables_05-2019
Table 1 was updated to match the most updated DMS template.
b. DMS requests that RS take all credits out to 3 significant digits.
Credits were taken to 3 digits.
c. Riparian Wetland credits are not shown in table.
Table 1 was updated to match the most updated DMS template.
d. Change Main Channel to Slingshot Creek and add reach designations (i.e. Slingshot Creek Reach 1) to
match the project name.
These changes were made to the table.
e. Overall Asset Summary on page 4 – Verify overall stream credit number. It does not match DMS’s
calculation.
The document has been changed from 3189 to 3186 SMUs.

6. Table 2 – Verify that the dates for data collection and completion/delivery for the mitigation plan are
correct.
1101 Haynes St., Suite 211 • Raleigh, NC 27604 • www.restorationsystems.com • Ph 919.755.9490 • Fx 919.755.9492
The dates were updated.

7. Table 4, page 6
a. Change the word “Section” to “Table” in the title.
This was updated.
b. Main channel length of reach appears to have numbers transposed. 2847 linear feet should be 2874
linear feet.
This was updated
c. UT2 should be 174 linear feet.
This was updated

8. Section 2.0
a. page 7 – First paragraph is not necessary. Information is too broad.
The first paragraph was removed.
b. Page 8 – First paragraph under Development Trends and Land Use Changes. Recommend deleting this
comment as it is not pertinent to this project since it is not in any of the counties listed.
This sentence was removed.

9. Section 3.3 page 11 – Please clarify how nutrient reduction was calculated. For example, 51.04
(lbs/ac/yr) * 11.6 ac = 592.1 lbs/yr N, less than the 612.5 lbs/yr claimed in the plan. Furthermore, the
acreage for the preservation reaches should not be used in this calculation.
This was updated to match the easement changes and to make sure preservation areas were excluded.

10. Section 5.1, pages 17 and 18
a. Please remove the first and second paragraphs, they are not necessary.
These paragraphs were removed.
b. Please add units to shear stress numbers in text and relevant column headings for Table 10 (Shear
stress, velocity).
Units were added to the text and all column headings in Table 10.
c. Please explain or briefly discuss the effect of differing shear stress and stream power between pre and
post construction; replace paragraph 1 on page 18 with the explanation. The current content in
paragraph is unnecessary. Please refrain from explaining industry standards, e.g., bankfull.
Stream power and shear stress have been used to determine the appropriate channel depth and
slope to move sediment through the system without aggradation or scour. Stream power is a
preferred method over entrainment calculations due to the disturbed nature of the existing
channels. Entrainment calculations conducted in incised/oversized stream reaches typically will
predict overly large D50, and D84 mobilization rates. Therefore, stream power and shear stress
have been calculated on existing, reference, and proposed stream reaches for comparison
purposes. Values of stream power and shear stress for the proposed channel have been
compared to reference measurements and appear suitable for proposed channel boundary
conditions

11. Section 5.2, page 19 – Please provide the design discharge or the range of discharges intended for
use, that is what discharge was ‘verified’?
The following was added to the text “Site bankfull discharges range from approximately 15.5-44.4 cfs.”

12. Section 6.0, page 20 – Nutrient reduction numbers may need changed based on the response to
comment 9 above.
This was updated.

1101 Haynes St., Suite 211 • Raleigh, NC 27604 • www.restorationsystems.com • Ph 919.755.9490 • Fx 919.755.9492
13. Table 12C, page 23 – Habitat objectives are very similar to hydrology objectives. Please be specific
regarding the objectives for habitat, e.g., substrate and structure (rated in SAM).
Habitat objectives have been altered to be more specific.

14. Section 8.1.1, page 26 – Under Outfall Structures you mention using Terracell. Be prepared for push
back from DWR rep on IRT about this.
We will be prepared for pushback from the IRT.

15. Section 8.2.1, page 27
a. See comment 3 above.
First paragraph – Please change the linear footage in the first sentence to 2,920 so it matches Table 1
and more accurately describes the current conditions for the Main Channel (removes UT4 from the
calculation). Please remove the reference to UT4 in the first sentence.
This was adjusted as requested.

16. Section 8.2.2, page 28 – 29, second paragraph – Please verify that the discussion of UT1 being
“…dredged and straightened, particularly downstream of the nick point” is applicable to this channel.
Text referring to dredged and straightened reaches of UT 1 have been removed from the document.

17. Section 8.2.4, page 30 – Verify if UT 3 will be fenced as part of the Enhancement II treatment.
Text was added to read as follows. “The entire reach of UT 3 is proposed for stream enhancement (level
II) through the removal of livestock with fencing, supplemental planting…..”

18. Section 8.6.2, page 35 – Revise first sentence to read that invasive plant species will be treated,
rather than controlled. Remove either the word “No” or “not” from the second sentence.
These changes were made.

19. Table 17, page 37
a. Bank Height Ratio (BHR) criteria would be better stated as over the monitoring period since
temporary BHR changes may, occur. Same thing for Entrenchment Ratio (ER), although the work group
agreed ER is unnecessary. The statements regarding the ‘not to exceed’ in any year can also be written
as ‘over the monitoring period’ to account for potential channel adjustment.
“Over the monitoring period” was added in several places and ER was removed from the table.
b. Revise criteria regarding BHR and ER change in riffle cross-section to “during the monitoring period”
vs. “during any given monitoring period.”
This was adjusted.
c. Please add a footnote that the morphological parameters that will be measured and tracked are the 3
that were agreed upon by the technical workgroup and that they will be calculated in accordance with
those methods.
A note was added to the table stating that “BHR will be calculated using procedures outlined in the latest
approved guidance from NCDMS.

20. Table 18, page 39
a. Table 16 references monitoring for Benthic Macroinvertebrates but there is nothing included in Table
18 regarding this and its contribution to project success. Please explain.
Please see the footnote on Table 16 that states “Benthic Macroinvertebrate sampling data will not be
tied to success criteria; however, the data may be used as a tool to observe positive gains to in-stream
habitat.”

21. Appendix A
a. Figures 4, 5A and 5B - Change Main Channel to Slingshot Creek and add reach designations (i.e.
Slingshot Creek Reach 1) to match the project name and updated Table 1.
Figures have been updated as requested.
b. Figures 5A and 5B – Since center of wetted perimeter is the method being used to measure stream
length on the restoration reaches, please state on the figures that the dashed line is representative of
the “center of wetted perimeter” and not thalweg.
A note has been added to the documents stating the following. “Channel length for mitigation purposes
has been calculated using center of Top of Bank.”
c. Figure 5B – Please change the title to “Restoration Plan.”
The figure title has been changed.
d. Figure 7B - be prepared for push back from DWR rep on IRT about the use of Terracell.
We are prepared for pushback from the IRT.

22. Appendix F – Replace current language with “Pursuant to Section IV H and Appendix III of the
Division of Mitigation Service’s In-Lieu Fee Instrument dated July 28, 2010, the North Carolina
Department of Environment and Natural Resources has provided the US Army Corps of Engineers
Wilmington District with a formal commitment to fund projects to satisfy mitigation requirements
assumed by DMS. This commitment provides financial assurance for all mitigation projects implemented
by the program.”
This language was used to replace the language in Appendix F.

23. Appendix G – DMS requires land acquisition to be completed and all required easement
documentation be provided prior to submitting for permits.
Noted

24. Appendix H – To avoid confusion, just provide the credit release schedules for wetlands and streams,
and remove the credit release table for Coastal Marsh Wetlands.
The Coastal Marsh Wetland table was removed.

25. Construction Plan Sheets
a. Please show fencing on plan sheets.
Completed
b. Please include a legend for all symbols used in the plan sheets.
Completed
c. Title sheet – Please include “NC DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY, DIVISION OF
MITIGATION SERVICES” above the project name. Include lat and long, and total disturbed acreage
information on the title sheet.

d. Sheet 02A through 02D – Those sheets normally are called as “Details” sheets. Please change and
provide actual “Typical” sheets which are typical cross sections of designed channels at various
locations.
Completed
e. Sheet 04 to 12 – Please change the name of sheets to “Plan and Profile” as stated on the title sheet.
1101 Haynes St., Suite 211 • Raleigh, NC 27604 • www.restorationsystems.com • Ph 919.755.9490 • Fx 919.755.9492
Completed
f. Sheet E-03 to E-03D – Please change the name of sheets to “Erosion Control Typical” to “Erosion
Control Details” as stated on the title sheet.
Completed
g. Sheet E8 – The limit of disturbance line falls outside of the easement line. Please check all erosion
control sheets to make sure lines of limit of disturbance are inside of the easement line.
Every effort is made to limit the disturbance inside of the project’s easement, however due to
topography, project design, and landowner concerns the limit of disturbance sometimes extends
beyond the easement footprint.

1.0 PROJECT INTRODUCTION
The Slingshot Creek Stream & Wetland Mitigation Site (hereafter referred to as the “Site”)
encompasses 11.6 acres of disturbed forest and livestock pasture along warm water, unnamed
tributaries to Lake Hunt. The Site is located approximately 2 miles west of Reidsville, just east of
Lake Hunt, and north NC Highway 158 in Rockingham County (Figures 1 and 2, Appendix A).
1.1 Directions to Site
Directions to the Site from Raleigh, North Carolina.

Road,
 The Site is located north of the end of Harbor Road.
o Site Latitude, Longitude
36.334687ºN, 79.711665ºW (WGS84)
1.2 USGS Hydrologic Unit Code and NCDWR River Basin Designation
The Site is located within the Cape Fear River Basin in 14-digit United States Geological Survey
(USGS) Cataloging Unit and Targeted Local Watershed 03030002010010 of the South
Atlantic/Gulf Region (North Carolina Division of Water Resources [NCDWR] subbasin number
03-06-01) [Figures 1 and 2, Appendix A]). Topographic features of the Site unnamed tributaries
to Troublesome Creek (Lake Hunt), which has been assigned Stream Index Numbers 16-6-2-(1),
and a Best Usage Classification of WS-III, B, NSW (NCDWR 2013). Site tributaries are not
listed on the final 2016 NC 303(d) lists (NCDWR 2018).
1.3 Physiography and Land Use
The Site is located in the Northern Inner Piedmont Ecoregion of the Piedmont Physiographic
Province within Rockingham County, North Carolina. Regional physiography is characterized by
dissected irregular plains, low to high hills, ridges, and isolated monadnocks. Streams are low to
moderate gradient with mostly cobble, gravel, and sand substrates (Griffith et al. 2002). Onsite
elevations range from a high of 780 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) at the upper
reach of Slingshot Creek to a low of approximately 740 feet NGVD at the Site outfall (USGS
Reidsville, North Carolina 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle) (Figures 1 and 3, Appendix A).

The Site provides water quality functions to an approximately 0.42-square mile (270-acre)
watershed at the outfall; Site tributary watershed sizes range from 0.01 square mile (9 acres) to
0.10 square miles (65 acres) (Figure 3, Appendix A). The watershed is dominated by pasture,
agricultural land, and sparse residential property. Impervious surfaces account for less than 5
percent of the upstream watershed land surface.

Mitigation Plan (Project No. 100058) page 2
Slingshot Creek Stream and Wetland Restoration Site Restoration Systems, LLC
Rockingham County, North Carolina August 2019

Land use at the Site is characterized by livestock pasture, hay fields, and disturbed forest.
Livestock have unrestricted access to Site streams. A narrow riparian fringe has developed on the
stream margins that is composed of opportunistic species, invasive species, and a few mature tree
species.
1.4 Project Components and Structure
The Site encompasses 11.6 acres along warm water, unnamed tributaries to Troublesome Creek
(Lake Hunt). In its current state, the Site includes 3944 linear feet perennial stream and 172 linear
feet of intermittent stream (based on the approved PJD), 0.69 acre of degraded wetland, and 1.02
acre of drained hydric soil (Figure 4, Appendix A).

Proposed Site restoration activities include the construction o f meandering, E/C-type stream
channel resulting in 2501 linear feet of Priority I stream restoration, 587 linear feet of stream
enhancement (Level I), 635 linear feet of stream enhancement (Level II), 391 linear feet of stream
preservation, 1.018 acre of riparian wetland restoration, and 0.606 acre of riparian wetland
enhancement (Table 1) (Figures 5A-5B, Appendix A).

Completed project activities, reporting history, completion dates, project contacts, and background

2.0 WATERSHED APPROACH AND SITE SELECTION
Primary considerations for Site selection included the potential for improvement of water quality
within a region of North Carolina under heavy development and livestock/agricultural pressure.
More specifically, considerations included: desired aquatic resource functions; hydrologic
conditions; soil characteristics; aquatic habitat diversity; habitat connectivity; compatibility with
adjacent land uses; reasonably foreseeable effects the mitigation project will have on ecologically
important aquatic and terrestrial resources; and potential development trends and land use changes.
Site specific characteristics are summarized below, in addition to development trends and land use
changes within the watershed.

Currently, the proposed Site is characterized by disturbed forest, hay fields, and livestock pasture.
A summary of existing Site characteristics in favor of proposed stream and wetland activities
include the following.

Mitigation Plan (Project No. 100058) page 8
Slingshot Creek Stream and Wetland Restoration Site Restoration Systems, LLC
Rockingham County, North Carolina August 2019
 Streams and wetlands are accessible to livestock
 Stream banks are trampled by livestock
 Streams and wetlands have been cleared of forest vegetation
 Site receives nonpoint source inputs including agricultural chemicals and livestock waste
 Wetland soils have been compacted by livestock and agricultural equipment
 Wetland hydrology has been removed by stream channel entrenchment
 Streams are classified as nutrient sensitive waters

In addition to the opportunity for ecological improvements at the Site, the use of the particular
mitigation activities and methods proposed in the Design Approach & Mitigation Work Plan
(Section 8.0) are expected to produce naturalized stream and wetland resources that will be
ecologically self-sustaining, requiring minimal long-term management (Long-term Management
Plan [Section 11.0]).

Development Trends and Land Use Changes in Cape Fear 03030002 (Cape Fear 02)
Between the 2000 and 2010 censuses, the Cape Fear 02 population increased approximately 17
percent. These data suggest land development activities will increase in frequency, as will aquatic
ecosystem impacts related to such development. Therefore, there is an immediate and prolonged
need for compensatory stream mitigation in the watershed. Of further benefit, aquatic ecosystem
restoration projects are capable of reducing nutrient loading in sensitive downstream receiving
waters such as Jordan Lake.

According to the Cape Fear River Basinwide Water Quality Plan (NCDWQ 2005), all land uses
and discharges of wastewater and stormwater in the Cape Fear 02 subbasin 03-06-01 potentially
contribute nutrients to B. Everett Jordan Lake. B. Everett Jordan Lake provides low-flow
augmentation, flood control, recreation, fish and wildlife habitat, and water supply. The lake is
impaired for aquatic life due to excessive levels of chlorophyll a in violation of current standards
in all segments of the reservoir. In addition, the Site has a supplemental water quality classification
of Nutrient Sensitive Waters, which designates areas with water quality problems associated with
excessive plant growth resulting from nutrient enrichment. The proposed mitigation activities will
reduce sediment and nutrient levels, and improve water quality within the Site and downstream
watersheds.

The project is located within the Troublesome Creek and Little Troublesome Creek Local
Watershed Planning area (NCEEP 2004); the project activities address priorities associated with
the LWP as follows with Site specific information following the LWP goals in parenthesis.

1. Protect and improve water quality by restoring wetland, stream, and riparian area functions
and values, which may have been, or may be, lost through historic, current, and future
impacts (4114 linear feet of stream restoration/enhancement/preservation, 1.624 acres of
wetland restoration/enhancement, and 11.6 acres of riparian buffer
restoration/enhancement).
2. Achieve a net increase in riparian zone buffers and wetlands acreage, functions, and values
(11.6 acres of riparian buffer restoration/enhancement, and increased wetland acreage by
0.934 acres).
3. Promote a comprehensive approach for the protection of natural resources (protection of
the Site, streams, wetlands, and riparian buffer through a permanent conservation
easement).

In addition to the defined Troublesome Creek LWP goals, additional goals for the area generally
revolve around reduction of stressors to water quality. Stressors and how each will be addressed
by project activities is as follows.

1. Nutrient Inputs – (nutrient model [Section 3.3] - livestock removal from streams will result
in a direct reduction of 474.7 pounds of nitrogen, 39.3 pounds of phosphorus per year, and
4.7 x 1011 colonies of fecal coliform; eliminate fertilizer application; and install marsh
treatment areas).
2. Streambank Erosion – (sediment model [Section 3.2] – reduction of 220 tons/year after
mitigation is complete).
3. Stormwater – (reduction of bank height ratio and installation o f marsh treatment area will
reduce stormwater pulses).
4. Disturbed Riparian Buffer – (restoration/enhancement of 11.6 acres of riparian buffer along
4114 linear feet of stream).
5. Floodplain Alteration – (elimination of straightened, entrenched streams and the removal
of spoil material deposited in the floodplain).

Site specific mitigation goals and objectives have been developed through the use of North
Carolina Stream Assessment Method (NC SAM) and North Carolina Wetland Assessment Method
(NC WAM) and are discussed further in Section 6.0 (Functional Uplift and Project
Goals/Objectives).
3.0 BASELINE AND EXISTING CONDITIONS

Hydric soils and jurisdictional wetlands were delineated and mapped by a licensed soil scientist in
October 26 and 27, 2017. Based on soil delineations approximately 0.69 acre of disturbed
jurisdictional wetland occur within the Site boundaries. Wetla nds have been disturbed by livestock
grazing and clearing of vegetation within pastureland. In addition, 1.02 acre of drained hydric soil
occurs within the Site boundaries. These hydric soils have been effectively drained by stream
channel incision and/or relocation of stream channels to the margins of the floodplain.
3.2 Sediment Model
Sediment load modeling was performed using methodologies outlined in A Practical Method of
Computing Streambank Erosion Rate (Rosgen 2009) along with Estimating Sediment Loads using
the Bank Assessment of Non-point Sources Consequences of Sediment (Rosgen 2011). These
models provide a quantitative prediction of streambank erosions by calculating Bank Erosion
Hazard Index (BEHI) and Near-Bank Stress (NBS) along each Site reach. The resulting BEHI
and NBS values are then compared to streambank erodibility graphs prepared for North Carolina
by the NC Stream Restoration Institute and NC Sea Grant.

Streambank characteristics involve measurements of bank height, angles, materials, presence of
layers, rooting depth, rooting density, and percent of the bank protected by rocks, logs, roots, or
vegetation. Site reaches have been measured for each BEHI and NBS characteristic and predicted
lateral erosion rate, height, and length to calculate a cubic volume of sediment contributed by the

presented in Appendix B. Results of the model are presented in the following table.

Based on this analysis, mitigation of Site streams will reduce streambank erosion and subsequent
pollution of receiving waters.
3.3 Nutrient Model
Nutrient modeling was conducted using a method developed by NCDMS (NCDMS 2016) to
determine nutrient and fecal coliform reductions from exclusion of livestock from the buffer.

The equation for nutrient reduction for this model includes the following:

TN reduction (lbs/yr) = 51.04 (lbs/ac/yr) x Area (ac)
TP reduction (lbs/yr) = 4.23 (lbs/ac/yr) x Area (ac)

Where:
TN – total nitrogen;
TP – total phosphorus; and
Area – total area of restored riparian buffers inside of livestock exclusion fences.

Equations for fecal coliform reduction for this model include the following.

Fecal coliform reduction (col) = 2.2 x 1011 (col/AU/day) x AU x 0.085

Where:
Col - quantities of Fecal Coliform bacteria
AU - animal unit (1000 lbs of livestock)

Results of the NCDMS analysis indicate approximately 474.7 lbs/yr of nitrogen, 39.3 lbs/yr of
phosphorus, and 4.68 x 1011 col of fecal coliform/day will be reduced due to exclusion of livestock
from the easement area.
3.4 Project Site Streams
Streams targeted for restoration include unnamed tributaries to Troublesome Creek, which have
been cleared, dredged of cobble substrate, straightened, trampled by livestock, eroded vertically
and laterally, and receive extensive sediment and nutrient inputs from livestock. Approximately

Mitigation Plan (Project No. 100058) page 12
Slingshot Creek Stream and Wetland Restoration Site Restoration Systems, LLC
Rockingham County, North Carolina August 2019
55 percent of the existing stream channel has been degraded contributing to sediment export from
the Site resulting from mechanical processes from livestock hoof shear. In addition, streamside
wetlands have been cleared and drained by channel downcutting and land uses. Current Site
conditions have resulted in degraded water quality, a loss of aquatic habitat, reduced nutrient and
sediment retention, and unstable channel characteristics (loss of horizontal flow vectors that
maintain pools and an increase in erosive forces to channel bed and banks). Site restoration
activities will restore riffle-pool morphology, aid in energy dissipation, increase aquatic habitat,
stabilize channel banks, and greatly reduce sediment loss from channel banks.
3.4.1 Existing Conditions Survey
Site stream dimension, pattern, and profile were measured to characterize existing channel
conditions. Locations of existing stream reaches are depicted in Figure 4 (Appendix A) and cross-
section locations are depicted in Figure B1 (Appendix B). Stream geometry measurements under
existing conditions are summarized in Table 7 (Essential Morphology Parameters) and presented
in detail in Table B1 (Appendix B).

Rockingham County, North Carolina August 2019
3.4.2 Channel Classification and Morphology
Stream geometry and substrate data have been evaluated to classify existing stream conditions
based on a classification utilizing fluvial geomorphic principles (Rosgen 1996). Existing Site
reaches are classified as unstable G-type streams with variable sinuosity. Existing Site reaches are
characterized by sand substrate as the result of channel impacts including livestock trampling,
channel straightening, and riparian vegetation removal.
3.4.3 Channel Evolution
Site streams targeted for restoration have been channelized and are continually trampled by
livestock resulting primarily in channels classified as channelized (Class II), degraded (Class III),
and degraded and widened (Class IV) channels throughout the Site (Simon and Hupp 1986).
3.4.4 Valley Classification
The Site is characterized by small stream, headwater, confined, alluvial valleys with approximately
20- to 100-foot floodplain valley widths. Valley slopes of restoration reaches are typical for the
Piedmont region and range from 0.0176-0.0315. Typical streams in this region include C- and E-
type streams with slightly entrenched, meandering channels with a riffle-pool sequence.
3.4.5 Discharge
This hydrophysiographic region is characterized by moderate rainfall with precipitation averaging
approximately 41.7 inches per year (USDA 1992). Drainage basin sizes range from 0.01- to 0.42-
square mile.

The Site’s discharge is dominated by a combination of upstream basin catchment, groundwater
flow, and precipitation. Based on regional curves (Harman et al. 1999), the bankfull discharge for
the Site (0.01- to 0.42-square mile watershed) ranges from 3.2 to 47.8 cubic feet per second. Based
on indicators of bankfull at reference reaches and on-Site, the designed channel will equal
approximately 93 percent of the channel size indicated by Piedmont regional curves; this is
discussed in Section 5.2 (Bankfull Verification).
3.5 Project Site Wetlands
Jurisdictional wetlands/hydric soils within the Site were delineated in the field following
guidelines set forth in the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual and subsequent
regional supplements, and located using GPS technology with reported submeter accuracy
(Environmental Laboratory 1987). A jurisdictional wetland delineation was completed and
verbally approved by United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) representative David
Bailey during a meeting on August 22, 2018; the signed Notification of Jurisdictional
Determination can be found in Appendix D. Existing jurisdictional wetlands are depicted in light
blue and green stripes, and drained hydric soils are depicted as black cross hatch on Figure 4
(Appendix A).
3.5.1 Hydrological Characterization
Construction activities are expected to restore approximately 1.018 acre of drained riparian hydric
soils, and enhance 0.606 acre of cleared riparian wetlands. Areas of the Site targeted for riparian

Mitigation Plan (Project No. 100058) page 15
Slingshot Creek Stream and Wetland Restoration Site Restoration Systems, LLC
Rockingham County, North Carolina August 2019
wetlands will receive hydrological inputs from periodic overbank flooding of restored tributaries,
groundwater migration into wetlands, upland/stormwater runoff, and, to a lesser extent, direct
precipitation. Hydrological impairment in drained soils has resulted from lateral draw-down of
the water table adjacent to existing, incised stream channels.
3.5.2 Soil Characterization
Detailed soil mapping conducted by a North Carolina Licensed Soil Scientist (NCLSS) in October
26 and 27, 2017 indicate that the Site is currently underlain by hydric soils of the Worsham Series
(Figure 4, Appendix A). Wetlands have been disturbed by livestock grazing and cleared of
vegetation within pastureland. These hydric soils have been effectively drained by stream channel
incision or relocation of stream channels to the floodplain margins.

Onsite hydric soils are grey to gley in color and are compacted and pockmarked by livestock
trampling. Livestock trampling, grazing, and clearing has resulted in an herbaceous vegetative
community. Groundwater springs and surface runoff contribute hydrology to these areas, although
the dominant hydrological influence is the lateral draw-down of the water table adjacent to incised
stream channels or streams relocated to the floodplain margins. A detailed soil profile conducted
by a NCLSS is as follows; the location is depicted on Figure 4 (Appendix A).

3.5.3 Plant Community Characterization
Areas proposed for wetland restoration and enhancement are primarily vegetated by fescue and
opportunistic herbaceous species with very little vegetative diversity.
4.0 REFERENCE STUDIES
4.1 REFERENCE STREAMS
Two reference reaches were identified for the Site. The first reference stream (Flint Rock Farm)
is located approximately 6 miles southwest of the Site on an unnamed tributary to Troublesome
Creek. The second reference stream (Caswell Game Land) is located approximately 25 miles east
of the Site on unnamed tributaries to South Country Line Creek.
4.1.1 Channel Classification
The streams were measured and classified by stream type (Rosgen 1996). The reference reaches
are characterized as E-type and Cg-type streams; Flint Rock Farm is a moderately sinuous (1.22)
channel dominated by sand substrate and Caswell Game Land had slightly lower sinuosity, due to
a higher valley slope, with a gravel-dominated substrate.

Mitigation Plan (Project No. 100058) page 16
Slingshot Creek Stream and Wetland Restoration Site Restoration Systems, LLC
Rockingham County, North Carolina August 2019
4.1.2 Discharge
Field indicators of bankfull predict an average discharge of 24.4 and 71.7 cfs, respectively for the
Flint Rock Farm and Caswell Game Lands reference reaches, which is 50 and 110 percent of that
predicted by the regional curves.
4.1.3 Channel Morphology
Dimension: Data collected at Flint Rock Farm and Caswell Game Land indicate bankfull cross-
sectional areas of 6.1 and 17.6 square feet, respectively. Flint Rock Farm was significantly smaller
than the regional curves (12.1 square feet) and Caswell Game Land was slightly larger than
predicted by regional curves (16.0 square feet). Flintrock Farm may not be a suitable reference
site for determination of cross-sectional area; however, the channel is very stable and was useful
in determination of pattern and slope ratios for design calculation. Flint Rock Farm and Caswell
Game Land exhibit a bankfull width of 7.5 and 18.4, a bankfull depth of 0.8 and 1.0 feet, and
width-to-depth ratios of 9.6 and 19.6, respectively (see Table B1, Morphological Stream
Characteristics). The reference reaches exhibit a bank-height ratio of 1.0 and 1.8, respectively.
The Caswell Game Land reference reach was slightly incised; however, defined bankfull indicators
were present, which assisted with determining the appropriate cross-sectional area.

Pattern and Profile: In-field measurements of the reference reaches have yielded an average
sinuosity of 1.22 at Flint Rock Farm and 1.14 at Caswell Game Land (thalweg distance/straight-
line distance). Onsite valley slopes of Site restoration reaches range from 0.0176-0.0315. Valley
slopes exhibited by reference channels range are characterized by similar slopes (0.0060 at
Flintrock Farm and 0.0114 at Caswell Game Lands), providing a good range of slopes to compare
existing and proposed Site conditions. Although slightly incised, the Caswell Game Land
reference reach had a suitable pattern with no shoot cutoffs, eroding outer bends, or excessively
tight radius of curvatures, in addition to appropriate pool-to-pool spacing and meander
wavelengths.

Substrate: Reference channels are characterized by substrate dominated by gravel and sand sized
particles, respectively.
4.2 Reference Forest Ecosystem
A Reference Forest Ecosystem (RFE) is a forested area on which to model restoration efforts at
the Site in relation to soils and vegetation. RFEs should be ecologically stable climax communities
and should be a representative model of the Site as it likely existed prior to human disturbances.
Data describing plant community composition and structure should be collected at the RFEs and
subsequently applied as reference data in an attempt to emulate a natural climax community.

The RFE for this project is located at the Abbey Lamm Stream and Wetland Mitigation Site. The
RFE supports plant community and landform characteristics that restoration efforts will attempt to
emulate. Tree and shrub species identified within the reference forest and outlined in Table 9 will
be used, in addition to other relevant species in appropriate Schafale and Weakley (1990) and

5.0 CHANNEL ASSESSMENTS
5.1 Channel Stability Assessment
Stream power and shear stress were estimated for 1) existing dredged and straightened reaches, 2)
the reference reaches, and 3) proposed Site conditions. Reference reach values for stream power
and shear stress are slightly lower than the Site due to flatter valley and water surface slopes
resulting in lower stream power and shear stress values. Existing, Site streams are characterized
by a wide range of water surface slopes and varying degrees of degradation. In general, stream
power values of existing streams are slightly elevated as compared to proposed values, and shear
stress values of existing streams are significantly elevated as compared to proposed and reference
reach values. Proposed stream power and shear stress values appear adequate to mobilize and
transport sediment through the Site, without aggradation or erosion on proposed stream banks.
Important input values and output results (including stream power, shear stress, and per unit shear
power and shear stress) are presented in Table 10. Results of the analysis indicate the proposed
channel reaches are expected to maintain stream power as a function of width values of
approximately 2.89-3.77 lbs/sec3 and shear stress values of approximately 0.64-0.82 lbs/ft2 (Table
10).

5.2 Bankfull Verification
Discharge estimates for the Site utilize an assumed definition of “bankfull” and the return interval
associated with that bankfull discharge. For this study, the bankfull channel is defined as the
channel dimensions designed to support the “channel forming” or “dominant” discharge (Gordon
et al. 1992).

Based on available Piedmont regional curves, the predicted bankfull discharge for the reference
reaches averages approximately 48.4 and 65.2 cubic feet per second (cfs) for Flint Rock Farm and
Caswell Game Land, respectively (Harmen et al. 1999). The USGS regional regression equation
for the Piedmont region indicates that bankfull discharge for the reference reaches at a 1.3-1.5 year
return interval average approximately 38-68 and 66-89 cfs, respectively (USGS 2006).

Field indicators of bankfull, primarily topographic breaks identified on the banks, and riffle cross-
sections were utilized to obtain an average bankfull cross-sect ional area for the reference reaches.
The Piedmont regional curves were then utilized to plot the watershed area and discharge for the
reference reach cross-sectional area. Field indicators of bankfull approximate an average
discharge of 24.4 and 71.7 cfs, respectively for the reference reaches, which is 50 and 110 percent
of that predicted by the regional curves. Ultimately, on-site and reference cross sections with good
indicators of bankfull cross sectional areas should match close to the regional curves, which is
verified by the range approximated by the USGS regional regression equation.

Based on the above analysis of methods to determine bankfull discharge, proposed conditions at
the Site will be based on reference reaches and onsite indicators of bankfull (UT 1 cross-sections
3 and 7, Appendix B). Based on field indicators of bankfull at the Site (93 percent of the curves),

Mitigation Plan (Project No. 100058) page 19
Slingshot Creek Stream and Wetland Restoration Site Restoration Systems, LLC
Rockingham County, North Carolina August 2019
and the Reference Reaches, the designed onsite channel restoration area will equal approximately
93 percent of the channel size indicated by Piedmont regional curves. Therefore, Site bankfull
discharges range from approximately 15.5-44.4 cfs. Table 11 summarizes all methods analyzed
for estimating bankfull discharge.

6.0 FUNCTIONAL UPLIFT AND PROJECT GOALS/OBJECTIVES
Project goals are based on the Cape Fear River Basin Restoration Priorities (RBRP) report
(NCEEP 2009) and on-site data collection of channel morphology and function observed during
field investigations. The RBRP report documents benthic ratings vary between “Fair” and “Good-
Fair” possibly due to cattle, dairy, and poultry operations.

The project is located within the Troublesome Creek and Little Troublesome Creek Local
Watershed Planning area (NCEEP 2004); project activities address priorities associated with the
LWP as follows with Site specific information following the LWP goals in parenthesis.

1. Protect and improve water quality by restoring wetland, stream, and riparian area functions
and values, which may have been, or may be, lost through historic, current, and future
impacts (4115 linear feet of stream restoration/enhancement/preservation, 1.71 acres of
wetland restoration/enhancement, and 11.6. acres of riparian buffer
restoration/enhancement).
2. Achieve a net increase in riparian zone buffers and wetlands acreage, functions, and values
(11.6 acres of riparian buffer restoration/enhancement, and increased wetland acreage by
1.02 acres).
3. Promote a comprehensive approach for the protection of natural resources (protection of
the Site, streams, wetlands, and riparian buffer through a permanent conservation
easement).

Mitigation Plan (Project No. 100058) page 20
Slingshot Creek Stream and Wetland Restoration Site Restoration Systems, LLC
Rockingham County, North Carolina August 2019
In addition to the defined Troublesome Creek LWP goals, additional goals for the area generally
revolve around reduction of stressors to water quality. Stressors and how each will be addressed
by project activities is as follows.

1. Nutrient Inputs – (nutrient model [Section 3.3] - livestock removal from streams will result
in a direct reduction of 474.7 pounds of nitrogen, 39.3 pounds of phosphorus per year, and
4.7 x 1011 colonies of fecal coliform; eliminate fertilizer application; and install marsh
treatment areas).
2. Streambank Erosion – (sediment model [Section 3.2] – reduction of 220 tons/year after
mitigation is complete).
3. Stormwater – (reduction of bank height ratio and installation o f marsh treatment area will
reduce stormwater pulses).
4. Disturbed Riparian Buffer – (restoration/enhancement of 11.6 acres of riparian buffer along
4115 linear feet of stream).
5. Floodplain Alteration – (elimination of straightened, entrenched streams and the removal
of spoil material deposited in the floodplain).

Site specific mitigation goals and objectives have been developed through the use of North
Carolina Stream Assessment Method (NC SAM) and North Carolina Wetland Assessment Method
(NC WAM) analyses of existing and reference stream systems at t he Site (NC SFAT 2015 and NC
WFAT 2010). These methodologies rate functional metrics for streams and wetlands as high,
medium, or low based on field data collected on forms and transferred into a rating calculator.
Using Boolean logic, the rating calculator assigns a high, medium, or low value for each metric
and overall function. Site functional assessment data forms are available upon request and model
output is included in Appendix B.

Tables 12A and 12B summarize NC SAM and NC WAM metrics targeted for functional uplift and
the corresponding mitigation activities proposed to provide functional uplift. Metrics targeted to
meet the Site’s goals and objectives are depicted in bold.

7.0 SITE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION CONSTRAINTS
The presence of conditions or characteristics that have the potential to hinder restoration activities
on the Site was evaluated. The evaluation focused primarily on the presence of hazardous
materials, utilities and restrictive easements, rare/threatened/endangered species or critical
habitats, and the potential for hydrologic trespass. Existing information regarding Site constraints
was acquired and reviewed. In addition, any Site conditions that have the potential to restrict the
restoration design and implementation were documented during the field investigation.

No known Site constraints, that may hinder proposed mitigation activities, were identified during
field surveys. Potential constraints reviewed include the following.
7.1 Threatened & Endangered Species
Three federally protected species are listed as occurring in Rockingham County (USFWS 2018);
the following table summarizes potential habitat and preliminary biological conclusions for each.

Table 13. Threatened and Endangered Species

Conclusion
James spinymussel
(Pleurobema collina)
This freshwater mussel is limited to the
James River drainage and the Dan/Mayo
River drainage within the Roanoke River
basin in Virginia, North Carolina, and West
Virginia. This species’ range does not
include the Site, which is located in the
Upper Cape Fear River drainage.
No No Effect
Roanoke logperch
(Percina rex)
In North Carolina, this species is found in
the Dan and Mayo rivers, as well as Big
Beaver Island Creek. This species’ range
does not include the Site, which is located
in the Upper Cape Fear River drainage.
No No Effect
Smooth coneflower
(Echinacea laevigata)
This species grows in calcareous, basic, or
circumneutral soils on roadsides, clear cuts,
and power line right-of-ways where there is
abundant light and little herbaceous
competition. Fire-maintained woodlands
also appear to provide potential habitat for
the coneflower.
Yes No Effect*
*Detailed field surveys for this species were conducted during the optimum survey window. Survey methodology and results are
included in Appendix E.

Neither the James spinymussel nor the Roanoke logperch have ranges that extend into areas
adjacent to or within the Site; therefore, this project will ha ve no effect on these federally protected
species. Suitable habitat for the smooth coneflower exists at the Site; therefore, surveys were
conducted in May 2018, during the optimal survey window for this plant. Correspondence
concerning survey methodology and results are presented in Appendix E.
7.2 Cultural Resources
The term “cultural resources” refers to prehistoric or historic archaeological sites, structures, or
artifact deposits over 50 years old. “Significant” cultural resources are those that are eligible or

Mitigation Plan (Project No. 100058) page 25
Slingshot Creek Stream and Wetland Restoration Site Restoration Systems, LLC
Rockingham County, North Carolina August 2019
potentially eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Evaluations of site
significance are made with reference to the eligibility criteria of the National Register (36 CFR
60) and in consultation with the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO).

Field visits were conducted at the Site late 2017 to ascertain the presence of structures or other
features that may be eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. No
structures were identified within proposed easement boundaries; however, coordination with State
Historic Preservation Office will occur prior to construction activities to determine if any
significant cultural resources are present.
7.3 North Carolina Natural Heritage Elements
A query of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) database indicates there are
no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, or conservation/managed
areas within the proposed project boundary. Within a one-mile radius of the project boundary
NCNHP lists an element occurrence, a natural community, and a natural area, which are
summarized in the NCNHP correspondence in Appendix E. In addition, North Carolina Division
of Mitigation Services (NCDMS) Sharpe property wetland preservation Site is located within close
proximity of the Site.
7.4 FEMA
Inspection of the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map 3710798400J, Panels 7984 and 7994, effective
September 3, 2007, indicates that Site streams are not located in a Special Flood Hazard Area, and
the project should not alter FEMA flood zones. Therefore, a “Conditional Letter of Map Revision”
(CLOMR) is not necessary for this project.
7.5 Utilities
No utilities are located on the Site.
7.6 Air Transport Facilities
One air transport facility is located within 5 miles of the Site. Warf Airfield is located
approximately 0.5 mile south of the Site.
8.0 DESIGN APPROACH AND MITIGATION WORK PLAN
8.1 Stream Design
Onsite streams targeted for restoration have endured significant disturbance from land use
activities such as land clearing, livestock grazing, straightening and rerouting of channels, and
other anthropogenic maintenance. Site streams will be restored to emulate historic conditions at
the Site utilizing parameters from nearby, relatively undisturbed reference streams (see Section
4.1 Reference Streams).

Primary activities designed to restore Site streams include 1) stream restoration, 2) stream
enhancement (Level I), 3) stream enhancement (Level II), 4) stream preservation, 5) wetland
restoration, 6) wetland enhancement, and 7) vegetation planting (Figures 5A-5B, Appendix A).

Mitigation Plan (Project No. 100058) page 26
Slingshot Creek Stream and Wetland Restoration Site Restoration Systems, LLC
Rockingham County, North Carolina August 2019
8.1.1 Stream Restoration
Stream restoration efforts are designed to restore a stable str eam that approximates hydrodynamics,
stream geometry, and local microtopography relative to reference conditions. Restoration at the
Site will be Priority I restoration; therefore, bankfull elevat ions will be raised to meet the adjacent
valley floodplain elevation.

Stream restoration is expected to entail 1) channel excavation (Figure 6, Appendix A), 2) spoil
stockpiling, 3) channel stabilization, 4) channel diversion, and 5) channel backfill.

In-stream Structures
The use of in-stream structures for grade control and habitat is essential for successful stream
restoration (Figure 7A, Appendix A). In-stream structures may be placed in the channel to elevate
local water surface profiles in the channel, potentially flattening the water energy slope or gradient
and directing stream energy into the center of the channel and away from banks. The structures
will consist of log cross-vanes or log j-hook vanes; however, at the discretion of the Engineer, rock
cross-vanes or rock j-hook vanes may be substituted if dictated by field conditions. In addition,
the structures will placed in relatively straight reaches to provide secondary (perpendicular) flow
cells during bankfull events.

Piped Channel Crossings
Landowner constraints will necessitate the installation of 4 piped channel crossings within breaks
in the easement to allow access to portions of the property isolated by stream restoration activities.
The crossings may be constructed of properly sized pipes and hydraulically stable rip-rap or
suitable rock. Crossings will be large enough to handle the weight of anticipated vehicular traffic.
Approach grades to the crossing will be at an approximate 10:1 slope and constructed of hard,
scour-resistant crushed rock or other permeable material, which is free of fines.

Outfall Structures
One drop structure is proposed at the outfall of Slingshot Creek. The drop structure may be
constructed out of Terracell, or large cobble depending upon anticipated scour from the restored
stream channels (Figure 7B, Appendix A). The structure should be constructed to resist erosive
forces associated with hydraulic drops proposed at the Site.

Marsh Treatment Areas
No areas of concentrated flow have been identified at this time; however, if during construction a
point of concentrated flow is identified then a shallow wetland marsh treatment area will be
excavated in the floodplain to intercept surface waters draining through agricultural areas prior to
discharging into the Site. Marsh treatment areas are intended to improve the mitigation project
and are not generating mitigation credit. The proposed marsh treatment area will consist of shallow
depressions that will provide treatment and attenuation of init ial stormwater pulses (Figure 7B,
Appendix A). The outfall will be constructed of hydraulically stable rip-rap or other suitable
material that will protect against headcut migration into the constructed depression. It is expected
that the treatment area will fill with sediment and organic matter over time.

Slingshot Creek Stream and Wetland Restoration Site Restoration Systems, LLC
Rockingham County, North Carolina August 2019
8.1.2 Stream Enhancement (Level I)
Stream enhancement (level I) will occur on reaches accessible by livestock. Stream dimension
will be restored in these reaches, fencing will be erected to exclude livestock, and planting riparian
buffers with native forest vegetation will occur where needed.
8.1.3 Stream Enhancement (Level II)
Stream enhancement (level II) will occur on reaches are characterized by channels with patches of
mature riparian vegetation, good channel bed substrate, and little bank erosion. The reaches are
accessible by livestock and will have fence erected to exclude livestock. Planting riparian buffers
with native forest vegetation will occur where needed.
8.1.4 Stream Preservation
Stream preservation will occur on the upstream reaches of Slingshot Creek and the entirety of UT
4. These reaches are characterized by channels with mature riparian vegetation, good channel bed
substrate, and little bank erosion. The reaches are not accessible by livestock and are included in
the project to protect the upstream reaches from future impacts.
8.2 Individual Reach Descriptions
Mitigation strategies proposed for each reach are presented below.
8.2.1 Slingshot Creek (UT to Troublesome Creek)
Slingshot Creek enters the Site from the upstream property and extends for 2920 linear feet in its
current location. The upper reach of Slingshot Creek is fenced from livestock and surrounded by
mature vegetation. Once the stream enters pastureland, remnants of a breached impoundment are
situated across the floodplain. Livestock have impacted the channel above and below the
impoundment; however, the channel retains suitable pattern. The channel descends the valley to
a nick point where the channel becomes deeply incised and appears to have been dredged and
straightened. Adjacent to the majority of the straightened reach, vegetation remains in
successional in patches, with unmaintained pasture comprising the rest of the channel banks and
floodplain. The lower reaches of channel were dredged and straightened, as evidenced by oxbow
wetlands in the floodplain. This reach was historically crossed by an elevated road bed. An
undersized or blocked pipe beneath the road bed appears to have failed, resulting in extensive
erosion above and below the road bed. The lower reach is characterized by mature vegetation on
the left bank and pasture on the right bank.

In its current state, Slingshot Creek is classified as a G-type channel with entrenchment ratios
averaging 1.6. Although entrenchment ratios exhibit some connection to the floodplain, the
majority of the channel is incised, as evidenced by bank-height-ratios ranging from 1.3 to 4.5.
Incision varies across the reach, with deep incision occurring in areas that appear to have been
dredged and straightened, particularly downstream from the nick point. Dredging and straightening
of the channel have resulted in a loss of riffle pool morpholog y.

Slingshot Creek is proposed for four mitigation treatments; 1) stream restoration, 2) stream
enhancement (level I), 3) stream enhancement (level II), and 4) stream preservation.

Mitigation Plan (Project No. 100058) page 28
Slingshot Creek Stream and Wetland Restoration Site Restoration Systems, LLC
Rockingham County, North Carolina August 2019
Stream Restoration
Stream restoration is proposed for the majority of Slingshot Creek where the channel has been
straightened, is deeply incised, and is heavily impacted by livestock. The reach is proposed for
Priority 1 restoration on new location, reconnecting the channel to degraded/drained wetlands or
hydric soils. Channel construction is expected to entail filling ditches/drainage features,
installation of three piped crossings, excavating a channel that connects stream overbank events
with adjacent wetlands, installation of grade control and habitat structures, and connecting the
channel with downstream reaches.

Stream Enhancement (Level I)
Stream enhancement (level I) is proposed for the upper reaches of Slingshot Creek where channel
pattern appears to exhibit suitable sinuosity and pool-to-pool spacing; however, the channel is
relatively incised, impacted by livestock, and is characterized by low radius of curvature values in
several bends. Mitigation in these areas will focus on elevating the stream bed, providing the
proper channel dimension, and reducing shear on tight meander bends. Structures will be
strategically placed to reduce pressure on channel banks and focus scour into the center of the
channel. This reach will ultimately reconnect the channel to the floodplain and adjacent wetlands,
and bring the channel to a suitable elevation.

Stream Enhancement (Level II)
The upper reaches of Slingshot Creek are proposed for stream enhancement (level II) through the
removal of livestock, supplemental planting with native hardwood species, removal of remnants
of a breached dam, and placement of a permanent conservation easement.

Stream Preservation
The upper reaches of Slingshot Creek and UT 4 are proposed for stream preservation. These areas
are stable and livestock do not access the channels, or stream buffer. Preservation reaches will
have invasive species treatment, fence upgrades to ensure livestock exclusion, and placement of a
conservation easement.
8.2.2 UT 1
UT 1 enters the Site from the upstream property and extends for 968 linear feet in its current
location. The upper reaches of UT 1 are crossed by an elevated road with a failing pipe. Currently,
the upper reaches are impounded to a depth of approximately 3 feet. Stream flow overtops the
road bed and is eroding the channel. A bedrock sill has reduced erosion and UT 1 maintains pattern
for approximately 150 feet below the road, before the bedrock sill ends and the channel becomes
incised. Historically, this reach below the bedrock sill may have been impounded, as evidenced
by remnants of an earthen dam. Below the earthen dam, the channel appears to have been
manipulated in the past and livestock have impacted the channel banks. The entire reach of UT 1
is surrounded by sparse mature trees and successional vegetation associated with neglected
pastureland. Livestock have access to the entirety of UT 1 and channel banks are eroding from
hoof shear.

In its current state, UT 1 is classified as a G-type channel with entrenchment ratios averaging 2.0.
Although entrenchment ratios exhibit some connection to the floodplain, the majority of the

Mitigation Plan (Project No. 100058) page 29
Slingshot Creek Stream and Wetland Restoration Site Restoration Systems, LLC
Rockingham County, North Carolina August 2019
channel is incised, as evidenced by bank-height-ratios ranging from 1.2 to 3.7. Incision varies
across the reach, with deep incision occurring in areas downstream from the nick point.

UT 1 is proposed for three mitigation treatments; 1) stream restoration, 2) stream enhancement
(level I), and 3) stream enhancement (level II). During field reviews with Interagency Review
Team (IRT) members it was discussed that a mix of mitigation treatments throughout the entire
reach of UT was is likely to occur. However, large sections of mitigation treatment is proposed
rather than many short alternating sections of mitigation treatments. Ultimately, UT 1 will include
various mitigation strategies throughout each reach.

Stream Restoration
Stream restoration is proposed for the lower, downstream sections of UT 1 as the channel enters
wetlands associated with the larger, Slingshot Creek floodplain. This reach of channel is currently
incised (BHR of 2.3 and 1.6 in cross sections 1 and 2 [Appendix B]) and will be reconnected to
the adjacent floodplain wetlands. In addition, as UT 1 meets Slingshot Creek floodplain the
channel is proposed to be redirected across the floodplain to the natural topographic location, the
lowest portion of the floodplain. The reach is proposed for Priority 1 restoration on new location.
Channel construction is expected to entail excavating a channel that connects stream overbank
events with adjacent wetlands, installation of grade control and habitat structures, and connecting
the channel with downstream reaches.

Stream Enhancement (Level I)
Stream enhancement (level I) is proposed for the middle reaches of UT 1, below the bedrock sill
and above the restoration reach. As stated above, this reach of channel will likely also include
enhancement (level II) and restoration measures. Reaches of the channel where pattern appears to
exhibit suitable sinuosity and pool-to-pool spacing, in channel manipulation of dimension and
profile will be conducted. These reaches are incised; therefore, enhancement efforts are expected
to rehydrate drained jurisdictional wetland within the narrow floodplain. Several tight meander
bends will be eased to reduce erosion. In addition, the remnants of a historic dam will be removed
to allow floodwaters to access floodplains below the dam.

Mitigation in these areas will focus on elevating the stream bed, providing the proper channel
dimension, and reducing shear on tight meander bends. Structures will be strategically placed to
reduce pressure on channel banks and focus scour into the center of the channel. This reach will
ultimately reconnect the channel to the floodplain and adjacent wetlands, and bring the channel to
a suitable elevation. In addition, a piped channel crossing will be installed in the upper reaches.

Stream Enhancement (Level II)
The upper reaches of UT 1 are impounded by a failing road crossing/culvert. This section of
stream is proposed to have the road crossing upgraded with a new, appropriately sized piped
crossing and the channel constructed to the proper dimension and slope. As stated above, this
reach is proposed for multiple mitigation treatments, including restoration, enhancement (level I),
and enhancement (level II) and has been lumped as one mitigation treatment for discussion and
crediting purposes.

8.2.3 UT 2
UT 2 enters the Site from the upstream property and extends for 130 linear feet in its current
location. UT 2 is a relatively short reach that has been dredged and straightened. The channel is
excessively deep and parallels a driveway and metal structure outside of the easement boundaries.
Both banks of UT 2 are characterized as agriculture pasture, with the left bank providing a holding
pen for loading cattle into trailers.

In its current state, UT 2 is classified as a G-type channel with entrenchment ratios averaging 1.6.
The entire reach is incised as evidenced by bank-height-ratios ranging from 2.5 to 3.9. Dredging
and straightening of the channel have resulted in a loss of riffle pool morphology.

UT 2 is proposed for one mitigation treatment; 1) stream restoration.

Stream Restoration
Stream restoration is proposed for the entirety of UT 2 which will excavation of channel on new
location. Channel construction is expected to entail filling ditches/drainage features, upgrading a
forded channel crossing, excavating a channel that connects stream overbank events with adjacent
wetlands, installation of grade control and habitat structures, and connecting the channel with
downstream reaches.
8.2.4 UT 3
UT 3 enters the Site from the upstream property and extends for 189 linear feet in its current
location. UT 3 is a relatively short reach that was dredged and straightened many years ago and
has naturalized in its current location. The channel has disturbed forest on its left bank and pasture
on its right bank. The channel is characterized by an intermittent flow regime. Livestock have
access to the entire reach.

UT 3 is proposed for one mitigation treatment; 1) stream enhancement (level II).

Stream Enhancement (Level II)
The entire reach of UT 3 is proposed for stream enhancement (level II) through the removal of
livestock with fencing, supplemental planting with native hardwood species, and placement of a
permanent conservation easement.
8.2.5 UT 4
UT 4 enters the Site from the upstream property and extends for 86 linear feet in its current
location. UT 4 is a relatively short reach that is characterized by mature forest vegetation and is
isolated from livestock. The IRT specified this reach for preservation credit.

UT 4 is proposed for one mitigation treatment; 1) stream preservation.

Stream Preservation
UT 4 is proposed for stream preservation. These areas are stable and livestock do not access the
channels, or stream buffer. Preservation reaches will have invasive species treatment, fence
upgrades to ensure livestock exclusion, and placement of a conservation easement.

8.3 Wetland Restoration
Wetland restoration activities are designed to restore a fully functioning wetland system, which
will provide surface water storage, nutrient cycling, removal o f imported elements and compounds,
and will create a variety and abundance of wildlife habitat.

Portions of the Site underlain by hydric soils have been impacted by drainage ditch excavation,
vegetative clearing, agriculture plowing, herbicide application, and other land disturbances
associated with land use management. Wetland restoration will focus on the restoration of
vegetative communities, filling drainage ditches, the reestablishment of soil structure and
microtopographic variations, and redirecting normal surface hydrology from streams back into the
Site floodplains. In addition, the construction of (or provisions for) surface water storage
depressions (ephemeral pools) will also add an important component to groundwater restoration
activities. These activities will result in the restoration of 1.02 acres of jurisdictional riparian
riverine wetlands.

Restoration of Historic Groundwater Elevations
Hydric soils appear to have been drained due to lowering of the groundwater tables and a lateral
drainage effect from stream channel incision and straightening. Reconstructing streams at a
natural depth, increasing stream sinuosity, and directing surface flow from adjacent properties
across the ground surface is expected to rehydrate hydric soils within the Site, resulting in the
restoration of jurisdictional hydrology to riparian wetlands.

Hydrophytic Vegetation
Site wetland areas have endured significant disturbance from land use activities such as land
clearing, livestock trampling, herbicide application, and other anthropogenic maintenance.
Wetland areas will be revegetated with native forest vegetation typical of wetland communities in
the region. Emphasis will focus on developing a diverse plant assemblage.
8.4 Wetland Enhancement
Wetland enhancement will focus on the removal of livestock and restoration of vegetative
communities resulting in the enhancement of 0.606 acre of riparian riverine wetland.
8.5 Soil Restoration
Soil grading will occur during stream restoration activities. Topsoil will be stockpiled during
construction activities and will be spread on the soil surface once critical subgrade has been
established. The replaced topsoil will serve as a viable growing medium for community restoration
to provide nutrients and aid in the survival of planted species.
8.6 Natural Plant Community Restoration
Restoration of floodplain forest and stream-side habitat allows for development and expansion of
characteristic species across the landscape. Ecotonal changes between community types
contribute to diversity and provide secondary benefits, such as enhanced feeding and nesting
opportunities for mammals, birds, amphibians, and other wildlife. Reference Forest Ecosystem

Communities of North Carolina (Schafale and Weakley 1990) were used to develop the primary
plant community associations that will be promoted during community restoration activities.
8.6.1 Planting Plan
Stream-side trees and shrubs include species with high value for sediment stabilization, rapid
growth rate, and the ability to withstand hydraulic forces associated with bankfull flow and
overbank flood events. Stream-side trees and shrubs will be planted within 15 feet of the channel
top of bank throughout the meander belt-width. Shrub elements will be planted along the
reconstructed stream banks, concentrated along outer bends. Piedmont Alluvial Forest is the target
community for Site floodplains and Dry-Mesic Oak-Hickory Forest is the target community for
upland side-slopes.

Bare-root seedlings within the Piedmont Alluvial and Dry-Mesic Oak-Hickory Forests will be
planted at a density of approximately 680 stems per acre on 8-foot centers. Shrub species in the
stream-side assemblage will be planted at a density of 2720 stems per acre on 4-foot centers.

Table 14 depicts the total number of stems and species distribution within each vegetation
association (Figures 8A and 8B, Appendix A). Planting will be performed between December 1
and March 15 to allow plants to stabilize during the dormant period and set root during the spring
season.

Permanent seed mixes will be planted that quickly establish a low-growing groundcover on the
Site which will reduce erosion, provide streambank stability, benefit wildlife, and facilitate the
successful establishment of the planned hardwood tree community. Species mix is subject to
commercial availability at time of planting; however, the general diversity and function of
permanent seed mix will remain. Seed mix components will include the following.

Upland Seed Mix (2 lbs/ac)
1. Redtop (Agrostis alba)
2. Creeping Bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera)
3. Winter Bentgrass (Agrostis hyemalis)
4. Purple Coneflower (Echinacea laevigata)

8.6.2 Nuisance Species Management
Invasive plant species will be observed and removed mechanically and/or chemically, as part of
this project. No other nuisance species controls are proposed at this time. Inspections for beaver
and other potential nuisance species will occur throughout the course of the monitoring period.
Appropriate actions may be taken to ameliorate any negative impacts regarding vegetation
development and/or water management on an as-needed basis. The presences of nuisance species
will be monitored over the course of the monitoring period. Appropriate actions will be taken to

9.1 Success Criteria
Monitoring and success criteria for stream restoration should relate to project goals and objectives
identified from on-site NC SAM and NC WAM data collection. From a mitigation perspective,
several of the goals and objectives are assumed to be functiona lly elevated by restoration activities
without direct measurement. Other goals and objectives will be considered successful upon
achieving success criteria. The following summarizes Site success criteria.

Table 17. Success Criteria
Streams
 All streams must maintain an Ordinary High-Water Mark (OHWM), per RGL 05-05.
 Bank height ratio (BHR) cannot exceed 1.2 at any measured cross-section over the monitoring period.
 BHR at any measured riffle cross-section should not change by more than 10% from baseline condition over
monitoring period.
 The stream project shall remain stable and all other performance standards shall be met through four separate
bankfull events, occurring in separate years, during the monitoring years 1-7.
Wetland Hydrology
 Saturation or inundation within the upper 12 inches of the soil surface for, at a minimum, 10 percent of the
growing season, during average climatic conditions. Note: Growing season length will be confirmed with a
continuous recording temperature gauge that will measure from February to April each monitoring year.
Vegetation
 Within planted portions of the Site, a minimum of 320 stems per acre must be present at year 3; a minimum of
260 stems per acre must be present at year 5; and a minimum of 210 stems per acre must be present at year 7.
 Trees must average 7 feet in height at year 5, and 10 feet in height at year 7 in each plot.
 Planted and volunteer stems are counted, provided they are included in the approved planting list for the site;
natural recruits not on the planting list may be considered by the IRT on a case-by-case basis.
Note: BHR will be calculated using procedures outlined in the latest approved guidance from NCDMS.
9.2 Contingency
In the event that stream success criteria are not fulfilled, a mechanism for contingency will be
implemented.
9.2.1 Stream Contingency
Stream contingency may include, but may not be limited to 1) structure repair and/or installation;
2) repair of dimension, pattern, and/or profile variables; and 3) bank stabilization. The method of
contingency is expected to be dependent upon stream variables that are not in compliance with
success criteria. Primary concerns, which may jeopardize stream success, include 1) structure
failure, 2) headcut migration through the Site, and/or 3) bank erosion.

Structure Failure
In the event that structures are compromised the affected structure will be repaired, maintained, or
replaced. Once the structure is repaired or replaced, it must function to stabilize adjacent stream
banks and/or maintain grade control within the channel. Structures which remain intact, but
exhibit flow around, beneath, or through the header/footer will be repaired by excavating a trench
on the upstream side of the structure and reinstalling filter fabric in front of the pilings. Structures
which have been compromised, resulting in shifting or collapse of a header/footer, will be removed
and replaced with a structure suitable for Site flows.

Mitigation Plan (Project No. 100058) page 38
Slingshot Creek Stream and Wetland Restoration Site Restoration Systems, LLC
Rockingham County, North Carolina August 2019
Headcut Migration Through the Site
In the event that a headcut occurs within the Site (identified visually or through measurements [i.e.
bank-height ratios exceeding 1.4]), provisions for impeding headcut migration and repairing
damage caused by the headcut will be implemented. Headcut migration may be impeded through
the installation of in-stream grade control structures (rip-rap sill and/or log cross-vane weir) and/or
restoring stream geometry variables until channel stability is achieved. Channel repairs to stream
geometry may include channel backfill with coarse material and stabilizing the material with
erosion control matting, vegetative transplants, and/or willow stakes.

Bank Erosion
In the event that severe bank erosion occurs within the Site, resulting in incision, lateral instability,
and/or elevated width-to-depth ratios locally or systemically, contingency measures to reduce bank
erosion and width-to-depth ratio will be implemented. Bank erosion contingency measures may
include the installation of log-vane weirs and/or other bank stabilization measures. If the resultant
bank erosion induces shoot cutoffs or channel abandonment, a channel may be excavated to reduce
shear stress to stable values.
9.2.2 Wetland Contingency
Hydrological contingency will require consultation with hydrologists and regulatory agencies if
wetland hydrology enhancement is not achieved. Floodplain surface modifications, including
construction of ephemeral pools, represent a likely mechanism to increase the floodplain area in
support of jurisdictional wetlands. Recommendations for contingency to establish wetland
hydrology will be implemented and monitored until Hydrology Success Criteria are achieved.
9.2.3 Vegetation Contingency
If vegetation success criteria are not achieved, supplemental planting may be performed with tree
species approved by regulatory agencies. Supplemental planting will be performed as needed until
achievement of vegetation success criteria.
9.3 Compatibility with Project Goals
The following table outlines the compatibility of Site performance criteria described above to Site
goals and objectives that will be utilized to evaluate if Site goals and objectives are achieved.

10.0 ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT PLAN
In the event the mitigation Site or a specific component of the mitigation Site fails to achieve the
necessary performance standards as specified in the mitigation plan, the sponsor shall notify the
members of the IRT and work with the IRT to develop contingency plans and remedial actions.
11.0 LONG-TERM MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Site will be transferred to the North Carolina Division 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. Funding will be supplied by the responsible
party on a yearly basis until such time an endowment is established. 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 Statute GS 113A-232(d)(3). Interest gained by the
endowment fund may be used for the purpose of stewardship, monitoring, stewardship
administration, and land transaction costs, if applicable.

Jurisdictional Determination Request
Version: May 2017 Page 4

F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One)

I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminary JD for the property identified herein.

A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) provides an indication that there may
be “waters of the United States” or “navigable waters of the United States”on a property.
PJDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. For the purposes of permitting, all
waters and wetlands on the property will be treated as if they are jurisdictional “waters of
the United States”. PJDs cannot be appealed (33 C.F.R. 331.2); however, a PJD is
“preliminary” in the sense that an approved JD can be requested at any time. PJDs do
not expire.

I am requesting that the Corps provide an approved JD for the property identified herein.

An Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) is a determination that
jurisdictional “waters of the United States” or “navigable waters of the United
States” are either present or absent on a site. An approved JD identifies the limits of
waters on a site determined to be jurisdictional under the Clean Water Act and/or
Rivers and Harbors Act. Approved JDs are sufficient as the basis for permit
decisions. AJDs are appealable (33 C.F.R. 331.2). The results of the AJD will be
posted on the Corps website. A landowner, permit applicant, or other “affected
party” (33 C.F.R. 331.2) who receives an AJD may rely upon the AJD for five years
(subject to certain limited exceptions explained in Regulatory Guidance Letter 05-
02).

I am unclear as to which JD I would like to request and require additional information
to inform my decision.

G. ALL REQUESTS

Date:Friday, May 25, 2018 10:56:00 AM
Good Morning,

This email provides a summary of the results of an Axiom Environmental, Inc. (Axiom) federally
protected species survey at the Slingshot Creek Mitigation site in Rockingham County. The
approximately 12-acre site is located north of Highway 158, 2 miles west of Reidsville, NC.

Smooth Coneflower
Smooth coneflower (Echinacea laevigata) is typically found on calcareous, basic, or circumneutral
soils within clearcuts, power line right-of-ways, roadsides, and open woodlands where there is
abundant light and little herbaceous competition. Suitable habitat for smooth coneflower occurs
within open areas of the site, field borders, woodland edges, and forested areas along stream
channels. Systematic surveys performed within areas of suitable habitat were performed by Axiom
biologists Allison Keith and Andrew Radecki on May 21, 2018, and identified no individuals. As of
May 25, 2018, the NCNHP has no record of this species within 1.0 mile of the site. The proposed
project will have No Effect on smooth coneflower.

We appreciate the opportunity to assist with this project. If you have any questions about this
information, please let us know.

Sincerely,
Allison Keith

Re: Federally Protected Species Assessment Results 15-007.05
Slingshot Creek, Reidsville, Rockingham County

Dear Mr. Creech

Axiom Environmental, Inc. (Axiom) is pleased to provide you with this summary letter of the
results of a survey for federally protected species on an approximately 12-acre tract (hereafter
referred to as the site) planned for Slingshot Creek Mitigation Site in Reidsville, NC (see
attached map). The survey was conducted by three Axiom biologists, Kenan Jernigan, Ryan
Gibbons, and Allison Keith, on May 28, 2015.

Site Description
The site is in the Piedmont physiographic region of the state in southeastern Rockingham
County. The site contains dissected, irregular plains with moderate to steep slopes and low to
moderate gradient streams. Land use at the site is characterized by livestock pastures where
livestock have unrestricted access to the streams. The majority of the site is dominated by
herbaceous vegetation with some scattered shrubs, although, a narrow riparian fringe has
developed along the stream margins that contains opportunistic species as well as a few mature
trees. Dominant herbaceous species include a multitude of grasses, common pokeweed
(Phytolacca americana), oxeye daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare), grape (Muscadinia sp.), and
Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica). The scattered shrubs include winged sumac (Rhus
copallinum), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), redbud (Cercis canadensis) and flowering
dogwood (Cornus florida). The riparian fringes support narrow forests dominated by a canopy of
loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), sweetgum (Liquidambar
styraciflua), and a mix of oaks (Quercus sp.).

Federally Protected Species
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has identified one species with ranges that extend
into Rockingham County: Smooth coneflower (Echinacea laevigata).

A brief description of the species’ habitat requirements follows, along with the Biological
Conclusion rendered based on survey results in the study area. Habitat requirements for this
species are based on the current best available information from referenced literature and/or
USFWS.

Smooth coneflower
USFWS optimal survey window: late May-October

Habitat Description: Smooth coneflower, a perennial herb, is typically found in meadows, open
woodlands, the ecotonal regions between meadows and woodlands, cedar barrens, dry
limestone bluffs, clear cuts, and roadside and utility right-of-ways. In North Carolina, the
species normally grows in magnesium- and calcium-rich soils associated with gabbro and
diabase parent material, and typically occurs in Iredell, Misenheimer, and Picture soil series.
It grows best where there is abundant sunlight, little competition in the herbaceous layer, and
periodic disturbances (e.g., regular fire regime, well-timed mowing, and careful clearing) that
prevents encroachment of shade producing woody shrubs and trees. On sites where woody
succession is held in check, it is characterized by a number of species with prairie affinities.

Biological Conclusion: No Effect. Suitable habitat for smooth coneflower occurs throughout the
study area within utility line corridors, along woodland edges, and within residential yards.
A review of NCNHP records, updated April 2015, indicates no known smooth coneflower

Garden on May 28, 2015 and found their smooth coneflowers to be in bloom. Subsequently,

RE: Slingshot
Dear Phillip Perkinson:
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide information
about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database, based on the project area mapped with your request, indicates that there are
no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, or conservation/managed areas
within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there may be no documentation of natural
heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have
been surveyed. The results of this query should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists.
In the event that rare species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may
update our records.
The attached ‘Potential Occurrences’ table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have been
documented within a one-mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that
these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists and is
included for reference. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed area within a one-mile radius of the
project area, if any, are also included in this report.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation planning, project
review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria for regulatory decisions.
Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification to the
NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP
data may not be redistributed without permission.
The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a Dedicated Nature
Preserve (DNP), Registered Heritage Area (RHA), Clean Water Management Trust Fund (CWMTF) easement,
or Federally-listed species are documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance, please
contact Rodney A. Butler at [e-mail] or 919.707.8603.
Sincerely,

Services. Site land use consists of disturbed forest and livestock pasture. All Site hydrology drains to
unnamed tributaries to Lake Hunt. The proposed conservation easement area contains approximately 12
acres. Please review and comment on any possible issues that might emerge with respect to the Fish and
Wildlife Coordination Act from the potential stream restoration project. Attached is a USGS base map with
the projects 12 acre footprint identified.
The Slingshot Stream and Wetland Mitigation Site has been identified for the purpose of providing in-kind
mitigation for unavoidable impacts to streams wetlands within watersheds of the Cape Fear River Basin, CU
03030002.
We thank you in advance for your timely response and cooperation. Please feel free to contact the below

Subject: Request for Project Review and Comments
Slingshot Stream & Wetland Mitigation Site
Rockingham County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Hamby,
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission (NCWRC) received your letter on 30
May 2018 requesting review and comment on any possible concerns regarding the Slinghsot Stream &
Wetland Mitigation Site. Biologists with NCWRC have reviewed the provided documents. Comments
are provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as
amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667e) and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.).
The Slingshot Stream & Mitigation Site is located north of the terminus of Harbor Road near Reidsville,
Rockingham County, North Carolina. The project occurs on approximately 12 acres of livestock fields
and disturbed forests. The project will provide in-kind mitigation for unavoidable impacts to streams and
wetlands within the Cape Fear River Basin (HUC 03030002). The project will restore portions of
unnamed tributaries of Lake Hunt. The site occurs within the Water Supply Watershed of Troublesome
Creek, which is classified as a Water Supply III and Nutrient Sensitive Water by the N.C. Division of
Water Resources (NCDWR).
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service lists the federally endangered smooth coneflower (Echinacea
laevigata) as having the potential to occur if suitable habitat is present. We have no records of rare,
threatened, or endangered species within or near the mitigation site, although the lack of records from the
project area does not imply or confirm the absence of federal or state protected species. Based upon the
information provided to NCWRC, it is unlikely that stream and wetland mitigation will adversely affect
any federal or state-listed species. However, we recommend leaving snags and mature trees or if
necessary, remove tees outside the maternity roosting season for bats (May 15 – August 15).
We recommend that riparian buffers are as wide as possible, given site constraints and landowner needs.
NCWRC generally recommends a woody buffer of 100 feet on perennial streams to maximize the
Page 2

20 June 2018
Slingshot Mitigation
Rockingham County

benefits of buffers, including bank stability, stream shading, treatment of overland runoff, and wildlife
habitat.
Stream restoration projects often improve water quality and aquatic habitat. Establishing native, forested
buffers in riparian areas will help protect water quality, improve aquatic and terrestrial habitats, and
provide a travel corridor for wildlife species. Provided measures are taken to minimize erosion and
sedimentation from construction/restoration activities, we do not anticipate the project to result in
significant adverse impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources.

Thank you for the opportunity to review this proposed project. If I can be of additional assistance, please
call [phone] or email [e-mail].

emerge with respect to SHPO from a potential stream restoration project depicted on the attached mapping.

Project Name: Slingshot Stream & Wetland Mitigation Site
Project Location: 222 Harbor Rd. Reidsville, NC
Project Contact: JD Hamby, Restoration Systems LLC, 1101 Haynes St. Suite 211,
Raleigh, NC 27604

Project Description: The project has been identified for the purpose of providing in-kind mitigation for
unavoidable stream channel and wetland impacts. Permits from the NC DWR and USACE will be obtained to
restore waters of the US. Soil and erosion control permits will also be obtained. The project encompasses 9
acres of drained hydric soils, and cleared riparian buffer area currently used for row crop production.
Approximately 2200 linear feet of stream and 4.4 acres of riparian wetland will be restored.

The term “cultural resources” refers to prehistoric or historic archaeological sites, structures, or artifact
deposits over 50 years old. “Significant” cultural resources are those that are eligible or potentially
eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Evaluations of site significance are made
with reference to the eligibility criteria of the National Register (36 CFR 60) and in consultation with the
North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO).
Field visits were conducted in January 2017 to conduct evaluations for presence of structures or features
that may be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. No structures were identified within the
Site boundaries that may be eligible for the National Register. In addition to field reviews for historically
relevant structures, a records search was conducted at the SHPO office to determine if documented
occurrences of historic structures or artifacts occur within, or adjacent to the Site. The SHPO records
identify no features within the Site boundaries and seven features within a 1.0 mile radius of the Site,
listed here:

 RK1436 | Carter House
 RK1829 | D.C. Smith Farm (DOE: 2005)
 RK1589 | Bartee Log House (DOE: 2005)
 RK1430 | Reid School
 RK1437 | House
 RK1431 | Alfred Reid House
 RK1440 | Pritchard-Tuttle House
Typical SHPO coordination will occur prior to construction activities to determine if any significant
cultural resources are present; however, no constraints are expected at this time. We thank you in
advance for your timely response and cooperation. Please feel free to contact me with any questions
that you may have concerning the extent of site disturbance associated with this project.

Re: Slingshot Stream and Wetland Mitigation Site, Alamance County, NC

Restoration Systems, LLC (RS), of Raleigh, NC has been awarded a contract by DMS to provide 2200 Stream
Mitigation Units and 4.4 Wetland Mitigation Units at Slingshot Stream and Wetland Mitigation Site,
Alamance County, North Carolina.

One of the earliest tasks to be performed by RS is completion of an environmental screening and
preparation/submittal of a Categorical Exclusion (CE) document. This document is specifically required by
the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to ensure compliance with various federal environmental laws
and regulations. DMS must demonstrate that its projects comply with federal mandates as a precondition to
FHWA reimbursement of compensatory mitigation costs borne by the North Carolina Department of
Transportation to offset its projects’ unavoidable impacts to streams and wetla nds.

In order for the project to proceed, RS is obligated to coordinate with the NRCS to complete Form AD-1006 in
compliance with the Farmland Protection Policy Act on behalf of the FHWA. The purpose of this letter is to
request your assistance in completion of the Form.

Project Location & Description

The Slingshot Creek Stream & Wetland Mitigation Site (hereafter referred to as the “Site”), is located
approximately 2 miles west of Reidsville, NC, east of Lake Hunt, and north NC Highway 158. Site land use
consists of disturbed forest, hay fields, and livestock pasture. All Site hydrology drains to unnamed
tributaries to Lake Hunt. The proposed conservation easement area contains approximately 12 acres.

The Site is located within Targeted Local Watershed (TLW) 03030002010010 and subbasin 03-06-01.
According to the Cape Fear River Basinwide Water Quality Plan (NCDWQ 2005), all land uses and
discharges of wastewater and stormwater in subbasin 03-06-01 potentially contribute nutrients to B.
Everett Jordan Lake. B. Everett Jordan Lake provides low-flow augmentation, flood control, recreation,
fish and wildlife habitat, and water supply. The lake is impaired for aquatic life due to excessive levels of
chlorophyll a in violation of current standards in all segments of the reservoir. In addition, the Site has a
supplemental water quality classification of Nutrient Sensitive Waters, which include areas with water
quality problems associated with excessive plant growth resulting from nutrient enrichment. The
proposed mitigation activities will reduce sediment and nutrient levels, and improve water quality within
the Site and downstream watersheds.

The project is located within the Troublesome Creek and Little Troublesome Creek Local Watershed
Planning area (NCEEP 2004).

Restoration Means & Methods

Stream restoration efforts are designed to restore a stable stream that approximates hydrodynamics, stream
geometry, and local microtopography relative to reference conditions. Restoration at the Site will be Priority
I restoration; therefore, bankfull elevations will be raised to meet the adjacent valley floodplain elevation.

Stream restoration is expected to entail 1) channel excavation, 2) channel stabilization, 3) channel diversion,
and 4) channel backfill.

The use of in-stream structures for grade control and habitat is essential for successful stream restoration.
In-stream structures may be placed in the channel to elevate local water surface profiles in the channel,
potentially flattening the water energy slope or gradient and directing stream energy into the center of the
channel and away from banks. The structures will consist of log cross-vanes or log j-hook vanes; however, at
the discretion of the Engineer, rock cross-vanes or rock j-hook vanes may be substituted if dictated by field
conditions. In addition, the structures will placed in relatively straight reaches to provide secondary
(perpendicular) flow cells during bankfull events.

One drop structure is proposed at the Site outfall; the drop structure may be constructed out of Terracell, or
large cobble depending upon anticipated scour from the restored stream channels. The structure should be
constructed to resist erosive forces associated with hydraulic drops proposed at the Site.

Stream enhancement (level I) will occur on reaches accessible by livestock. Stream dimension will be
restored in these reaches, fencing will be erected to exclude livestock, and planting riparian buffers with
native forest vegetation will occur where needed and will extend a minimum of 50 feet from the top of
stream banks to facilitate stream recovery and prevent further degradation of the stream.

Stream enhancement (level II) will occur on reaches are characterized by channels with patches of mature
riparian vegetation, good channel bed substrate, and little bank erosion. The reaches are accessible by
livestock and will have fence erected to exclude livestock. Planting riparian buffers with native forest
vegetation will occur where needed and will extend a minimum of 50 feet from the top of stream banks to
facilitate stream recovery and prevent further degradation of the stream.

Alternatives for wetland reestablishment are designed to restore a fully functioning wetland system, which
will provide surface water storage, nutrient cycling, removal of imported elements and compounds, and will
create a variety and abundance of wildlife habitat.

Portions of the Site underlain by hydric soils have been impacted by stream degradation (incised and ditched
channels), vegetative clearing, agriculture plowing, livestock compaction, herbicide application, and other
land disturbances associated with land use management. Wetland reestablishment options should focus on
the restoration of vegetative communities, restoration of stream corridors and historic groundwater tables,
and the reestablishment of soil structure and microtopographic variations. In addition, the construction of
(or provisions for) surface water storage depressions (ephemeral pools) will also add an im portant
component to groundwater restoration activities. These activities will result in the reestablishment 0.96 acre
and the enhancement of 0.69 acre of jurisdictional riparian riverine wetlands. Wetland enhancement will
focus on the removal of livestock and restoration of vegetative communities resulting in the enhancement of
0.69 acre of riparian wetland

Restoration of floodplain forest allows for development and expansion of characteristic species across the
landscape. Ecotonal changes between community types contribute to diversity and provide secondary

benefits, such as enhanced feeding and nesting opportunities for mammals, birds, amphibians, and other
wildlife.

Revegetating floodplains will provide overall system stability, shade, and wildlife habitat. In addition, viable
riparian communities will improve system biogeochemical function by filtering pollutants from overland and
shallow subsurface flows and providing organic materials to adjacent stream channels.

Variations in vegetative planting will occur based on topography and hydraulic condition of soils. Vegetative
species composition will be based on RFEs, site-specific features, and community descriptions from
Classification of the Natural Communities of North Carolina (Schafale and Weakley 1990). Community
associations to be utilized include: 1) Piedmont/Low Mountain Alluvial Forest, 2) Dry-Mesic Oak-Hickory
Forest and 3) Streamside Assemblage.

Bare-root seedlings within the Piedmont Alluvial Forest and Dry-Mesic Oak-Hickory Forest will be planted at
a density of approximately 680 stems per acre on 8-foot centers, and in the stream-side assemblage at a
density of approximately 2720 stems per acre on 4-foot centers. Planting will be performed between
November 15 and March 15 to allow plants to stabilize during the dormant period and set root during the
spring season.

Should you have any questions or if any additional information is needed to complete the Form, please feel
free to contact me at the office 919.334.9111. Your valuable time and cooperation are much appreciated.

Conclusion
James spinymussel
(Pleurobema collina)
This freshwater mussel is limited to the
James River drainage and the Dan/Mayo
River drainage within the Roanoke River
basin in Virginia, North Carolina, and West
Virginia. This species’ range does not
include the Site, which is located in the
Upper Cape Fear River drainage.
No No Effect
Roanoke logperch
(Percina rex)
In North Carolina, this species is found in the
Dan and Mayo rivers, as well as Big Beaver
Island Creek. This species’ range does not
include the Site, which is located in the
Upper Cape Fear River drainage.
No No Effect
Smooth coneflower
(Echinacea laevigata)
This species grows in calcareous, basic, or
circumneutral soils on roadsides, clear cuts,
and power line right-of-ways where there is
abundant light and little herbaceous
competition. Fire-maintained woodlands
also appear to provide potential habitat for
the coneflower.
Yes No Effect*
*Detailed field surveys for this species were conducted during the optimum survey window. Smooth coneflower
(Echinacea laevigata) is typically found on calcareous, basic, or circumneutral soils within clearcuts, power line
right-of-ways, roadsides, and open woodlands where there is abundant light and little herbaceous competition.
Suitable habitat for smooth coneflower occurs within open areas of the site, field borders, woodland edges, and
forested areas along stream channels. Systematic surveys performed within areas of suitable habitat were
performed by Axiom biologists Allison Keith and Andrew Radecki on May 21, 2018, and identified no individuals.
As of May 25, 2018, the NCNHP has no record of this species within 1.0 mile of the site. The proposed project will
have No Effect on smooth coneflower.
Neither the James spinymussel nor the Roanoke logperch have ranges that extend into areas adjacent to or within
the Site; therefore, this project will have no effect on these federally protected species. Suitable habitat for the
smooth coneflower exists at the Site; therefore, surveys were conducted in May 2015, during the optimal survey
window for this plant. Correspondence concerning survey methodology and results are presented in Appendix C.

Subject:List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location, and/or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The species list generated pursuant to the information you provided identifies threatened,
endangered, proposed and candidate species, as well as proposed and final designated critical
habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and/or may be affected by
your proposed project. The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended
(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to
contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to
federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical
habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the
Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be
completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be
completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and
implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested
through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list.
Section 7 of the Act requires that all federal agencies (or their designated non-federal
representative), in consultation with the Service, insure that any action federally authorized,
funded, or carried out by such agencies is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any
federally-listed endangered or threatened species. A biological assessment or evaluation may be
prepared to fulfill that requirement and in determining whether additional consultation with the
Service is necessary. In addition to the federally-protected species list, information on the
species' life histories and habitats and information on completing a biological assessment or

evaluation and can be found on our web page at http://www.fws.gov/raleigh. Please check the
web site often for updated information or changes
If your project contains suitable habitat for any of the federally-listed species known to be
present within the county where your project occurs, the proposed action has the potential to
adversely affect those species. As such, we recommend that surveys be conducted to determine
the species' presence or absence within the project area. The use of North Carolina Natural
Heritage program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys.
If you determine that the proposed action may affect (i.e., likely to adversely affect or not likely
to adversely affect) a federally-protected species, you should notify this office with your
determination, the results of your surveys, survey methodologies, and an analysis of the effects
of the action on listed species, including consideration of direct, indirect, and cumulative effects,
before conducting any activities that might affect the species. If you determine that the proposed
action will have no effect (i.e., no beneficial or adverse, direct or indirect effect) on federally
listed species, then you are not required to contact our office for concurrence (unless an
Environmental Impact Statement is prepared). However, you should maintain a complete record
of the assessment, including steps leading to your determination of effect, the qualified personnel
conducting the assessment, habitat conditions, site photographs, and any other related articles.
Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require
development of an eagle conservation plan (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/
eagle_guidance.html). Additionally, wind energy projects should follow the wind energy
guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) for minimizing impacts to migratory birds and
bats.
Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects including communications
towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at: http://
www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/towers/towers.htm; http://

Not all Threatened and Endangered Species that occur in North Carolina are subject to section 7
consultation with the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service. Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon, sea
turtles,when in the water, and certain marine mammals are under purview of the National Marine
Fisheries Service. If your project occurs in marine, estuarine, or coastal river systems you should
also contact the National Marine Fisheries Service, http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/
We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages
Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project
planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Tracking Number in

Re: Federally Protected Species Assessment Results 15-007.05
Slingshot Creek, Reidsville, Rockingham County

Dear Mr. Creech

Axiom Environmental, Inc. (Axiom) is pleased to provide you with this summary letter of the
results of a survey for federally protected species on an approximately 12-acre tract (hereafter
referred to as the site) planned for Slingshot Creek Mitigation Site in Reidsville, NC (see
attached map). The survey was conducted by three Axiom biologists, Kenan Jernigan, Ryan
Gibbons, and Allison Keith, on May 28, 2015.

Site Description
The site is in the Piedmont physiographic region of the state in southeastern Rockingham
County. The site contains dissected, irregular plains with moderate to steep slopes and low to
moderate gradient streams. Land use at the site is characterized by livestock pastures where
livestock have unrestricted access to the streams. The majority of the site is dominated by
herbaceous vegetation with some scattered shrubs, although, a narrow riparian fringe has
developed along the stream margins that contains opportunistic species as well as a few mature
trees. Dominant herbaceous species include a multitude of grasses, common pokeweed
(Phytolacca americana), oxeye daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare), grape (Muscadinia sp.), and
Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica). The scattered shrubs include winged sumac (Rhus
copallinum), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), redbud (Cercis canadensis) and flowering
dogwood (Cornus florida). The riparian fringes support narrow forests dominated by a canopy of
loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), sweetgum (Liquidambar
styraciflua), and a mix of oaks (Quercus sp.).

Federally Protected Species
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has identified one species with ranges that extend
into Rockingham County: Smooth coneflower (Echinacea laevigata).

A brief description of the species’ habitat requirements follows, along with the Biological
Conclusion rendered based on survey results in the study area. Habitat requirements for this
species are based on the current best available information from referenced literature and/or
USFWS.

Smooth coneflower
USFWS optimal survey window: late May-October

Habitat Description: Smooth coneflower, a perennial herb, is typically found in meadows, open
woodlands, the ecotonal regions between meadows and woodlands, cedar barrens, dry
limestone bluffs, clear cuts, and roadside and utility right-of-ways. In North Carolina, the
species normally grows in magnesium- and calcium-rich soils associated with gabbro and
diabase parent material, and typically occurs in Iredell, Misenheimer, and Picture soil series.
It grows best where there is abundant sunlight, little competition in the herbaceous layer, and
periodic disturbances (e.g., regular fire regime, well-timed mowing, and careful clearing) that
prevents encroachment of shade producing woody shrubs and trees. On sites where woody
succession is held in check, it is characterized by a number of species with prairie affinities.

Biological Conclusion: No Effect. Suitable habitat for smooth coneflower occurs throughout the
study area within utility line corridors, along woodland edges, and within residential yards.
A review of NCNHP records, updated April 2015, indicates no known smooth coneflower
occurrences within 1.0 mile of the study area. Axiom biologists visited the UNC Botanical
Garden on May 28, 2015 and found their smooth coneflowers to be in bloom. Subsequently,
systematic surveys were performed in all areas of suitable habitat on the same day and no
individuals of this species were identified within the study area.

I hope this summary is sufficient for your review. Should you have any questions, please do not
hesitate to send me an email ([e-mail]) or give me a call (919-215-9465).

Sincerely,
AXIOM ENVIRONMENTAL, INC.

RE: Slingshot
Dear Phillip Perkinson:
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide information
about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database, based on the project area mapped with your request, indicates that there are
no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, or conservation/managed areas
within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there may be no documentation of natural
heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have
been surveyed. The results of this query should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists.
In the event that rare species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may
update our records.
The attached ‘Potential Occurrences’ table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have been
documented within a one-mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that
these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists and is
included for reference. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed area within a one-mile radius of the
project area, if any, are also included in this report.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation planning, project
review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria for regulatory decisions.
Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification to the
NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP
data may not be redistributed without permission.
The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a Dedicated Nature
Preserve (DNP), Registered Heritage Area (RHA), Clean Water Management Trust Fund (CWMTF) easement,
or Federally-listed species are documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance, please
contact Rodney A. Butler at [e-mail] or 919.707.8603.
Sincerely,

III. GRANTEE RESERVED USES
A. Right of Access, Construction, and Inspection. The Grantee, its employees and agents,
successors and assigns, receive a perpetual Right of Access to the Conservation Easement Area
over the Property at reasonable times to undertake any activities on the property to restore,
construct, manage, maintain, enhance, protect, and monitor the stream, wetland and any other
riparian resources in the Conservation Easement Area, in accordance with restoration activities
or a long-term management plan. Unless otherwise specifically set forth in this Conservation
Easement, the rights granted herein do not include or establish for the public any access rights.
B. Restoration Activities. These activities include planting of trees, shrubs and herbaceous
vegetation, installation of monitoring wells, utilization of heavy equipment to grade, fill, and
prepare the soil, modification of the hydrology of the site, and installation of natural and
manmade materials as needed to direct in -stream, above ground, and subterraneous water flow.

to place signs and witness posts on the Property to include any or all of the following: describe
the project, prohibited activities within the Conservation Easement, or identify the project
boundaries and the holder of the Conservation Easement.
D. Fences. Conservation Easements are purchased to protect the investments by the State
(Grantee) in natural resources. Livestock within conservations easements damages the
investment and can result in reductions in natural resource value and mitigation credits which
would cause financial harm to the State. Therefore, Landowners (Grantor) with livestock are
required to restrict livestock access to the Conservation Easement area. Repeated failure to do so
may result in the State (Grantee) repairing or installing livestock exclusion devices (fences)
within the conservation area for the purpose of restricting livestock access. In such cases, the
landowner (Grantor) must provide access to the State (Grantee) to make repairs.
E. Crossing Area(s). The Grantee is not responsible for maintenance of crossing area(s),
however, the Grantee, its employees and agents, successors or assigns, reserve the right to repair
crossing area(s), at its sole discretion and to recover the cost of such repairs from the Grantor if
such repairs are needed as a result of activities of the Grantor, his successors or assigns.
IV. ENFORCEMENT AND REMEDIES
A. Enforcement. To accomplish the purposes of this Conservation Easement, Grantee is
allowed to prevent any activity within the Conservation Easement Area that is inconsistent with
the purposes of this Conservation Easement and to require the restoration of such areas or
features in the Conservation Easement Area that may have been damaged by such unauthorized
3094718v3.JBB.26275.T28647

Unofficial Document Unoff'It"'aT°T)btl-ftment
activity or use. Upon any breach of the terms of this Conservation Easement by Grantor, the
Grantee shall, except as provided below, notify the Grantor in writing of such breach and the
Grantor shall have ninety (90) days after receipt of such notice to correct the damage caused by
such breach. If the breach and damage remains uncured after ninety (90) days, the Grantee may
enforce this Conservation Easement by bringing appropriate legal proceedings including an
action to recover damages, as well as injunctive and other relief. The Grantee shall also have the
power and authority, consistent with its statutory authority: (a) to prevent any impairment of the
Conservation Easement Area by acts which may be unlawful or in violation of this Conservation
Easement; (b) to otherwise preserve or protect its interest in the Property; or (c) to seek damages
from any appropriate person or entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee reserves the
immediate right, without notice, to obtain a temporary restraining order, injunctive or other
appropriate relief, if the breach is or would irreversibly or otherwise materially impair the
benefits to be derived from this Conservation Easement, and the Grantor and Grantee
acknowledge that the damage would be irreparable and remedies at law inadequate. The rights
and remedies of the Grantee provided hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, all
other rights and remedies available to Grantee in connection with this Conservation Easement.
B. Inspection. The Grantee, its employees and agents, successors and assigns, have the
right, with reasonable notice, to enter the Conservation Easement Area over the Property at
reasonable times for the purpose of inspection to determine whether the Grantor is complying
with the terms, conditions and restrictions of this Conservation Easement.

shall be construed to entitle Grantee to bring any action against Grantor for any injury or change
in the Conservation Easement Area caused by third parties, resulting from causes beyond the

any prudent action taken in good faith by the Grantor under emergency conditions to prevent,
abate, or mitigate significant injury to life or damage to the Property resulting from such causes.
D. Costs of Enforcement. Beyond regular and typical monitoring expenses, any costs
incurred by Grantee in enforcing the terms of this Conservation Easement against Grantor,
including, without limitation, any costs of restoration necessitated by Grantor's acts or omissions
in violation of the terms of this Conservation Easement, shall be borne by Grantor.
E. No Waiver. Enforcement of this Easement shall be at the discretion of the Grantee and
any forbearance, delay or omission by Grantee to exercise its rights hereunder in the event of any
breach of any term set forth herein shall not be construed to be a waiver by Grantee.
V. MISCELLANEOUS
A. This instrument sets forth the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the
Conservation Easement and supersedes all prior discussions, negotiations, understandings or
agreements relating to the Conservation Easement. If any provision is found to be invalid, the

XIV.Credit Release Schedules
The standard release schedule for mitigation bank and ILF credits generated through stream and wetland
mitigation projects has been modified to meet the new standards for the monitoring timeframes provided
in this guidance document. For mitigation banks, the first credit release (15% of the bank’s total stream
restoration and/or enhancement credits) will occur upon establishment of the mitigation bank, and upon
completion following criteria:
1)Execution of the MBI or UMBI by the Sponsor and the USACE
2)Approval of the final Mitigation Plan
29
3)The mitigation bank site must be secured
4)Delivery of the financial assurances described in the Mitigation Plan
5)Recordation of the long-term protection mechanism and title opinion acceptable to the USACE
6)Issuance of the 404 permit verification for construction of the site, if required.
For mitigation sites that include preservation-only credits, 100% of the preservation credits will be
released with the completion of the six criteria stated above.
For ILF sites (including all NCDMS projects), no initial release of credits (Milestone 1) is provided because
ILF programs utilized advance credits, so no initial release is necessary to help fund site construction. To
account for this, the 15% credit release associated with the first milestone (bank establishment) is held
until the second milestone, so that the total credits release at the second milestone is 30%. In order for
NCDMS to receive the 30% release (shown in the schedules as Milestone 2), they must comply with the
credit release requirements stated in Section IV(I)(3) of the approved NCDMS Instrument.
The following conditions apply to the credit release schedules:
A.A reserve of 10% of a site’s total stream credits will be released after four 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 four bankfull events occur during the
monitoring period, release of these reserve credits is at the discretion of the NCIRT.
B.For mitigation banks, implementation of the approved Mitigation Plan must be initiated no
later than the first full growing season after the date of the first credit transaction (credit sale).
C.After the second milestone, the credit releases are scheduled to occur on an annual basis,
assuming that the annual monitoring report has been provided to the USACE in accordance
with Section IV (General Monitoring Requirements) of this document, and that the monitoring
report demonstrates that interim performance standards are being met and that no other
concerns have been identified on-site during the visual monitoring. All credit releases require
written approval from the USACE.
D.The credits associated with the final credit release milestone will be released only upon a
determination by the USACE, in consultation with the NCIRT, of functional success as defined
in the Mitigation Plan.
The schedules below list the updated credit release schedules for stream and wetland mitigation projects
developed by bank and ILF sites in North Carolina:

Appendix I
Maintenance Plan

Maintenance Plan

The Site shall be monitored on a regular basis and a physical inspection of the site shall be conducted a
m inimum 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
m aintenance. Routine m aintenance should be expected most often in the first two years following site
construction and m ay include the following:

Component/Feature Maintenance through project close-out
Stream
Routine channel maintenance and repair activities may include securing of loose
coir matting and supplem ental installations of live stakes and other target
vegetation along the channel. Areas where stormwater and floodplain flows
intercept the channel may also require maintenance to prevent bank failures and
head-cutting.
Vegetation
Vegetation shall be m aintained to ensure the health and vigor of the targeted
plant comm unity. Routine vegetation maintenance and repair activities may
include supplemental planting, pruning, mulching, and fertilizing. Exotic invasive
plant species shall be controlled by mechanical and/or chemical methods. Any
vegetation control requiring herbicide application will be performed in
accordance with NC Department of Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations.
Beaver Beaver and associated dams are to be removed as they colonize and until the
project is closed.
Site Boundary
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, m arker, 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.
Road Crossing
Road crossings within the site may be maintained only as allowed by
Conservation Easement or existing easement, deed restrictions, rights of way, or
corridor agreements.
Terracell Drop
Structure
Routine maintenance and repair activities may include removal of debris and
supplem ental installation of live stakes and other target vegetation along the
channel. Undermining of the structure may require repair or replacement.
