Service Centel P,al.eigh, North Carolina 27699-161.7 R.E: Proposed Stream Restoration Project, North Carolina Wetland Restoration Program (WRP), Little Bugaboo Creek, Wilkes County Dear Mr. Jurek: This correspondence is in response to your letter of May 9, 2002 concerning the, referenced project. The purpose of the project is to restore stability and function to the referenced stream reach. Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) are familiar with habitat values in the area. The NCWRC is authorized to comment and make recommendations which relate to the impacts of this project: on fish and wildlife pursuant to the Clean Water Act of 1977 and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d), W12P proposes to restore portions of little Bugaboo Creek and a small tributary using 1"t.osgen bioengineering techniques. Channelization, devegetation and cattle have degraded the stream. WRi' will restore stable meanders, cross-sections and floodplains to provide natural stream dimension, pattern and profile using Priority 2 Rosgen restoration methodologies. A permanent conservation easement will be provided and cattle will be fenced from the streams. Alterative cattle watering will be provided. Based on our review, we have no objection to the proiect providing only native North Carolina plant species are utilized for the project and Rosgen techniques are utilized. No moratorium will be required, as the project should improve long-term aquatic habitats. All activities must follow any US Armv Corps 404 Permit and NC Division of Water Quality 401 Ceriiftcation conditions as well as any conditions specified by agencies of the NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources. ,'Bank you. for the opportunity to comment on this project in the early planning stages.

Mitigation Page 9 of 13 DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial streams. USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include, but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar functions and values, preferable in the same watershed. If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at httl2://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwet]ands/stimaide.html. 1.. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet) of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view, preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach a separate sheet if more space is needed. SEE PLAN 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrl2/index.htm.

A tributary to the Roaring River, Little Bugaboo Creek (NCDWQ Stream Index Number - 12-48-1-(1)) is located on agricultural land northeast of the town of Roaring River in Wilkes County, North Carolina (Figure 1). ' The Wilkes County Soil and Water Conservation District (WCSWCD) staff first identified LBC as a potential restoration site through their work with farmers throughout the county. Landowners main concern is loss of land, due to actively eroding streambanks, along the majority of the project length. Cattle access and the removal of vegetation are the main causes of degradation. Land adjacent to the streams is currently Man" being used for cattle production and the 10011 Typical of many heavily agricultural areas, land to spread litter is at a premium. Vegetation throughout the majority of the site is degraded as a result of ". Pastures adjacent to the stream consist of fescue with sparse trees along drainages. Most streambanks are vertical with little or no vegetation and are actively eroding. There are numerous signs of lateral meander migration. This is a Rosgen `F' type system where the channel appears to have down cut and is presently eroding its banks to establish a flood plain at the new channel elevation. The existing channel appears to be in a state of transition. Streambanks are very unstable and meanders are continuing to migrate, ' creating a wider floodplain as necessary to reach stability. The combination of extreme streambank erosion, degraded vegetation, poor cattle management practices, and willing landowners make this an excellent potential restoration site. Restoration requires determining how far the stream has departed from its natural stability and then establishing the stable form of the stream under the current hydrologic conditions within the drainage area. The proposed restoration will construct a stable meander geometry, modify channel cross-sections, and establish a floodplain at the existing stream elevation, thus, restoring a stable dimension, pattern, and profile. This restoration is based on analysis of current watershed hydrologic conditions, field evaluation of the project site, and assessments of stable reference reaches. The following recommendations are included in this restoration plan: • Form a stable channel with the proper dimension, pattern, and profile. • Establish a floodplain along the stream channel. Place natural material structures in the stream to improve stability and enhance aquatic habitat. • Stabilize stream banks with herbaceous and woody vegetation. 0 Establish a permanent conservation easement along the project. • Restore/enhance the streams riparian zone. ' 2 ' Stream Restoration Plan Little Bugaboo Creek, Wilkes County, NC t 1.1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Little Bugaboo Creek project site is located northeast of the town of Roaring River in Wilkes County, North Carolina. Roaring River is located 7 miles east, northeast of North Wilkesboro. The project is fully contained within the property of five landowners. LBC flows northwest to southeast, and the UT flows north to south. The project ends at the confluence of LBC and the UT. The project reach is bound to the north by Tharpe Road (S.R. 2014) and to the south by Hoots Road (S.R. 1924). Bedrock outcroppings, in the ' form of waterfalls, border the project to the east and west. The western boundary has been set by land constraints as a result of property lines (Figure 2). Both LBC and the UT flow through cattle pasture. ' 1.2 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES This project has the following goals and objectives: 1. Provide a stable stream channel that neither aggrades nor degrades while maintaining ' its dimension, pattern, and profile with the capacity to transport its watershed's water and sediment load. 2. Improve water quality and reduce further property loss by stabilizing eroding stream banks. 3. od lish- a new Modpr 'at 4 lover e, ev ionn ' 4. Improve aquatic habitat with the use of natural material stabilization structures such as root wads, cross vanes, woody debris and a riparian buffer. ' 5. Provide aesthetic value, wildlife habitat and bank stability through the creation or enhancement of a riparian zone. 6. c ude -cattle from the rip carp RI omr- aff establ sh stable crossings for cattle mQv 7. ?t °e e&e _ drainages enters 1.3 STREAM SURVEY METHODOLOGY r The US Forest Service General Technical Report RM-245, Stream Channel Reference Sites: An Illustrated Guide to Field Technique is used as a guide when taking field ' measurements. Accurate field measurements are critical to determine the present condition of the existing channel, conditions of the floodplain, and watershed drainage patterns. ' Earth Tech contracted The Rose Group to conduct a topographic survey of the restoration site in February 2002. This mapping was used to evaluate present conditions, new channel alignment, and grading volumes. Mapping also provided locations of property pins, large trees, vegetation lines, culverts, roads, and elevation contours. 3 t 1 d„ a? a ?a a? y ?a ?f N.

County Natural Resources Conservation Service Staff (NRCS) provided Geographic Information System (GIS) data to evaluate the watershed. A windshield survey was also conducted to determine the existing conditions within the watershed. During the site visits, ten cross-sections were taken using standard differential leveling techniques. These cross-sections were used to gather detail on the present dimension and condition of the channel. Cross-sectional area was calculated using the bankfull features identified in the field. See Appendix B for a copy of the existing condition surveys. 1.3.1 Stream Delineation Criteria - Classification Dave Rosgen developed his stream classification system in order to accomplish the following: 1) Predict a river's behavior 2) Develop specific hydraulic and sediment relationships for a given stream type and its state 3) Provide a mechanism to extrapolate site-specific data to stream reaches having similar characteristics 4) Provide a consistent frame of reference for communicating stream morphology and condition among a variety of disciplines and interested parties The Rosgen Stream Classification System is based on five criteria: width/depth ratio, entrenchment ratio, slope, sinuosity, and channel materials. All cross-sections were classified using this system. 1.3.2 Bankfull Verification The foundation of Dave Rosgen's classification system is the concept of bankfull stage, which is the point of incipient flooding. The classification depends on the correct assessment of bankfull. If bankfull is incorrectly determined in the field, the entire restoration effort will be based on faulty data. It is important to verify the physical indicators observed in the field with either gage data or a regional curve to ensure the correct assessment of the bankfull stage. The bankfull stage is determined in the field using physical indicators. The following is a list of commonly used indicators that define bankfull (Rosgen, 1996): • The presence of a floodplain at the elevation of incipient flooding. • The elevation associated with the top of the highest depositional feature (e.g. point bars, central bars within the active channel). These depositional features are especially good stage indicators for channels in the presence of terrace or adjacent colluvial slopes. 6 Stream Restoration Plan Little Bugaboo Creek, Wilkes County, NC • A break in slope of the bank and/or a change in the particle size distribution, since finer material is associated with deposition by overflow, rather than deposition of coarser material within the active channel. • Evidence of an inundation feature such as small benches below bankfull. • Staining of rocks. The most dominant bankfull indicators along LBC and the UT are high scour lines and the tops of point bars. The most common method of verifying bankfull stage is to compare the field determined bankfull stage with measured stages at a stream gaging station. This calibration can be ' performed if there is a stream gage within the study area's hydrophysiographic region. In ungaged areas, Dave Rosgen recommends verifying bankfull with the development of regional curves. The regional curves normally plot bankfull discharge (Qbkf), cross- sectional area, width, and depth as a function of drainage area. The cross-sectional areas of LBC and the reference reach sites used for this report are plotted on the Rural and Urban, Piedmont Regional Curve of North Carolina developed by the North Carolina State University (NCSU) Water Quality Group, 2000 (Figure 3). Data obtained from field surveys described in Section 2.2.2 was used to compute the morphological characteristics shown on the graph. The cross-sectional area for LBC plots above the trend line for the NC Rural Regional Curve but well within the 95% confidence ' limits. The cross-sectional area for the UT plots directly on the trend line for the NC Rural Regional Curve. The bankfull cross-sectional area for the design channel was determined from evaluating the North Carolina regional curve relationships and ' comparing them to the reference reach sites surveyed near the restoration site. HEC-RAS will be used to verify the design cross-sectional area for the project and estimate in- channel shear stress. 7 t E i m a 1000 m rn m h '.0071 .0 n M 0' W- 7 Y a 100 tf1 6L 10 1 0.01 0.1 1 10 100 1000 Watershed Area (Sq.

The watershed is located to the northeast of the town of Roaring River in Wilkes County, North Carolina. The headwaters of the project originate approximately 3 miles to the north-northwest of the restoration site. From the headwaters, LBC flows for approximately 4 miles before joining with the Big Bugaboo Creek. An Unnamed Tributary to Little Bugaboo Creek enters LBC at the end of the project site and is also included in the restoration project. The headwaters for UT originate approximately 1.6 miles from the restoration site. From the headwaters, UT flows for approximately 2.5 miles before the confluence with LBC. Several tributaries enter LBC along its extent. The watershed for LBC is approximately 3.45 square miles (2,200 Acres) and the watershed for the UT is approximately 1.4 square miles (900 Acres) (Figure 4). The watershed is oriented northwest to southeast. The topography ranges from gently sloping to steep with relatively flat, narrow floodplains occurring along the larger drainages. Land surface elevations range from approximately 1,100 to 1,400 feet above mean sea level. 2.1.2 Surface Waters Classification Surface waters in North Carolina are assigned a classification by the DWQ that is designed to maintain, protect, and enhance water quality within the state. LBC (NCDWQ Stream Index Number - 12-48-1-(1)) is classified as a class C water body (NCDENR, 2002). Class C water resources are waters protected for aquatic life propagation and survival, fishing, wildlife, secondary recreation, and agriculture. Secondary recreation includes wading, boating, and other uses involving human body contact with water where such activities take place in an infrequent, unorganized, or incidental manner. There are no restrictions on watershed development activities. NCDWQ has not assigned an index number to the UT. 2.1.3 Soils of the Watershed The soils found in the watershed and adjacent to the stream can help determine the bed and bank materials occurring in the stream. The Rosgen stream classification system uses average particle size within the bankfull channel to help classify the stream. Knowing the make up of the soils in the watershed assists in understanding the anticipated bedload and sediment transport capacity of the stream. 9 Stream Restoration Plan Little Bugaboo Creek, Wilkes County, NC Soils in upland areas within the watershed consist primarily of Masada sandy clay loam, Rion fine sandy loam, and Pacolet sandy loam soils (Soil Survey of Wilkes County, North Carolina, Natural Resources Conservation Service [NRCS], 1997). Chewacla loam soils occur primarily on the floodplains within the watershed. Depth to bedrock is mapped as greater than 5 feet for these soils. The upland soils have clayey sub-soils with rock fragments ranging from gravel to cobble size. Masada sandy clay loam occurs on high stream terraces, and comprises only a small portion of the soils within the watershed. These very deep, sloping soils are well drained and have moderate permeability and medium to rapid runoff. They have formed in old alluvium derived from felsic rocks. The depth to the water table is greater than 6 feet. Masada soils are most likely in the hydrologic soil group C. A Rion fine sandy loam occurs on side slopes and narrow ridgetops in a few places within the watershed. These soils are steep, very deep, and well drained. They have moderate to moderately rapid permeability, and surface runoff is rapid to very rapid. The depth to the water table is below a depth of 6 feet. This soil formed in the residuum from L weathered granite, gneiss, and schist, and typically has clayey subsoil. Rion soils are in the hydrologic soil group B. 1 I Pacolet sandy clay loam typically occurs on side slopes and ridgetops throughout the watershed. These soils are very deep, gently to strongly sloping and well drained. They have a moderate permeability, and surface runoff is medium to rapid. They have formed in the residuum from weathered granite, gneiss, and schist, and typically have clayey subsoil. The depth to the water table is greater than 6 feet. The Pacolet soils are in hydrologic soil group B. Chewacla loam soils are found on the flood plains throughout the watershed. This nearly level, very deep, and somewhat poorly drained soil has moderate permeability, and surface runoff is slow. These soils form in recent alluvium derived from mixed felsic rocks. The depth to the water table is generally between 0.5 and 1.5 feet. Chewacla soils are in hydrologic soil group C. 2.1.4 Land Use of the Watershed Land use within the watershed is predominately forest or agricultural (Figure 5). Evaluation of a USGS topographic map reveals that approximately 47% of the watershed is forested and 51% is agriculture. The remaining 2% consists of low density residential and roadways. 10 D Nla tec C ?S S To o ra hic Serle :m, ©Ma ech R, 1 8 933 3 P,_,R P 9 P ? 1 4'? ?w n ' i? c t "? 000 --3? ? t ?. ° l ! ?? l / j ?. ? ??? ? v? v. r om/toPo iap c --?

After the milldam was removed, a head cut worked up from the mill site through the deposited sediments. 2.2.2 Existing Stream Characteristics Field surveys of the existing stream channel and site were conducted on February 12 through 15, 2002. Photographs of the site were taken and are provided in Appendix A. LBC Restoration Site can be typically described as a channel in transition. Deeply incised, the channel is currently widely meandering in an attempt to establish a stable dimension, pattern, and profile. There are indications of severe pattern changes resulting from large storm flow events throughout both LBC and UT. These pattern changes are typical of channel evolution from a `F' type system to a `C' type system in the Rosgen classification system. Cattle access to the existing stream and riparian areas has degraded the existing vegetation to the point that it is providing little or no root mass along the stream banks. Stream bank erosion dominates the site resulting from the combination of incision of the streambed, pattern modifications, and lack of streambank vegetation. A complete assessment has not been conducted but landowners commented that banks were eroding ' at a rate of several feet per year in areas. A total of ten tributaries/drainages enter LBC and UT within the project limits. As a result of the incision of LBC and UT, these tributaries/drainages have also incised significantly. Several are eroding, which is adding to the sediment load of the larger streams. ii Riffle bankfull widths for LBC range from 27.0 to 37.5 feet with mean depths ranging from 1.8 to 2.8 feet. The cross-sectional areas for these riffles range from 53.3 to 89.7 square feet. The stream type varies along the site from E, F, and Bc, although the predominant stream type if F. The data for the existing channel is included in Appendix B. LBC has the following average characteristics: Bankfull Width: 30.5 feet Cross-sectional Area: 69.7 square feet Mean Depth: 2.3 feet Maximum Depth: 3.5 feet Average Water Surface Slope: 0.0049 feet/feet Entrenchment Ratio: 2.65 Sinuosity: 1.3 Bank Height Ratio 2.3 Riffle bankfull widths for UT range from 17.5 to 18.0 feet with mean depths of 1.2 feet in both riffle surveyed. The cross-sectional areas for these riffles range from 21.2 to 21.9 square feet. The stream type varies along the site from C to F, although the predominant stream type if F. The data for the existing channel is included in Appendix B. UT has the following average characteristics: 15 0 f': Stream Restoration Plan Little Bugaboo Creek, Wilkes County, NC Bankfull Width: 17.8 feet Cross-sectional Area: 21.6 square feet Mean Depth: 1.2 feet Maximum Depth: 2.3 feet Average Water Surface Slope: 0.011 feet/feet Entrenchment Ratio: 2.2 Sinuosity: 1.2 Bank Height Ratio 3.9 2.2.3 Soils of the Restoration Site According to the Soil Survey of Wiles County, soils adjacent to LBC within the restoration site are mapped as Chewacla loam, Rion fine sandy loam, and Pacolet sandy loam soils (Figure 7). Investigation of the soils adjacent to the stream indicates that all three soils appear to be present, although Chewacla soils dominate the site. Chewacla soils are nearly level, very deep and somewhat poorly drained soils found on flood plains on the Piedmont. This soil has moderate permeability and surface runoff is slow in bare and unprotected areas. These soils formed in recent alluvium derived from mixed felsic rocks. Rion fine sandy loams are steep, very deep, and well-drained soils typically found on ' piedmont side slopes. They have moderate permeability and surface runoff is rapid to very rapid in bare and unprotected areas. These soils formed in material weathered from rocks such as granite, gneiss, or schist. 11 Pacolet sandy loam soils in the project area are gently to steeply sloping, very deep, and well drained. These soils are typically found on ridgetops and side slopes in the Piedmont. They have moderate permeability and surface runoff is medium or rapid in bare and unprotected areas. These soils formed in material weathered from rocks such as granite, gneiss, or schist. Soil textures encountered include sandy loams, sandy clay loams, and clay loams. Significant amounts of gravel and cobbles were noted in some horizons in some locations. Gravel and cobbles were more common in the portion of the project nearest the streambed. The channel has incised into the floodplain deep enough to expose cobbles, boulders, and bedrock in many places along the stream banks. The seasonal high water table is greater than 6 feet for Rion and Pacolet soils and 0.5 to 1.5 feet for Chewacla soils. Slopes range from 0 to 30 percent. In depositional areas within the newly forming floodplain, inceptisols are present. These soils lack distinct horizons, and are extremely gravelly. They have formed from alluvial deposits and erosional deposits created when adjacent banks collapse into the stream. Surface material is generally a sandy loam with up to 20 percent gravel while underlying material is generally sandy clay, with 5-10 percent gravel. In some areas along the tributary to Little Bugaboo Creek cobbles and bedrock are present next to the stream. 16 a x m o m U r Y 11 nE FCC ?? l? P F, 2 cB2 -Pq D`.??

Wilkes County, North Carolina GA WELL'ALEXANDER )IREDE L C Pa LI' Stream Restoration Plan Little Bugaboo Creek, Wilkes County, NC 2.2.4 Terrestrial Plant Communities The following sections describe the existing plant communities on and adjacent to the restoration site (Figure 8). For purposes of this project, five plant communities are described: Pasture Community, Floodplain Community, Dry Upland Forest Community, Mesic Upland Forest Community, and Wetland Community. Nomenclature follows Radford, et al. (1968). Cattle either currently have access to all areas within the project boundaries, or have had access to these areas in the recent past. For this reason, herbaceous vegetation and an underlying shrub layer are sparse throughout the majority of the project area. ' 2.2.4.1 Pasture Community A community consisting of grazed pastureland is generally present in the floodplain of LBC and the UT throughout the project area. The only exceptions to this are a small area near the confluence of these streams, as well as a few patchy areas along the upper sections of LBC, and along the east side of the UT. A plowed area near the confluence of LBC and it's UT has is included in this community. The herbaceous vegetation that dominates this community are fescue grasses (Festuca sp.), white clover (Trifolium ' repens), and other unidentifiable weeds which are most likely to be Veronica sp., Glechoma sp., or Lamium sp. it Along the periphery of this community, many invasive species common to pastures and waste places can be found. These include jimsonweed (Datura stamonium), common mullein (Verbascum thapsis), multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), greenbriar (Smilax sp.), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), blackberry (Rubus sp.), and Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense). 2.2.4.2 Floodplain Community A floodplain forest community is present throughout the majority of the project area. As mentioned earlier, cattle are allowed to graze nearly the entire stream length. For this reason, some areas of mature trees remain on the banks, while little other vegetation is present. An understory with varying degrees of density is associated with this community, depending on the degree of grazing. Dominant tree species in this community include river birch (Betula nigra), American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), red maple (Acer rubrum), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), box elder (Acer negundo), and black willow (Salix nigra). Understory and edge species include Chinese privet, multiflora rose, greenbriar, and Japanese honeysuckle. In the area near the confluence of the two streams black walnut (Juglans nigra), flowering dogwood (Cornus florida), sweet joe-pye weed (Eupatorium pupureum), and New York ironweed (Veronia noveboracensis) are common. Japanese grass (Microstegium virmenium) can also be found growing in dense patches in this area. 18 I I Stream Restoration Plan Little Bugaboo Creek, Wilkes County, NC On the alluvial bars adjacent to the streams the vegetation is sparse, and is dominated by various unknown grasses and Aster species, with a few patches of rush (Juncus effusus). The only substantially dense stand of seedlings on the alluvial deposits is located near the cattle crossing on the upper reach of LBC and includes river birch, black willow, and American sycamore. 2.2.4.3 Dry Upland Forest Community ' A dry upland forest community is present on the south-facing slopes within the project area. This is a mature forest with trees reaching 70 feet in height. The understory is relatively open except where this community adjoins the disturbed areas. Both upland ' forest communities described in this report contain many similar species. These include black cherry (Prunus serotina), scarlet oak (Quercus coccinea), shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata), white pine (Pinus strobus), American holly (Ilex opaca), yellow jasmine t (Gelsemium sempervirens), Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides), and wild garlic (Allium canadense). On the driest slopes, this upland community also includes white oak (Quercus alba), Southern red oak (Quercus falcata), American beech (Fagus I grandifolia), chestnut oak (Quercus montana), post oak (Quercus stellata), red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), and mockemut hickory (Carya tomentosa). 2.2.4.4 Mesic Upland Forest Community A moist upland forest community can be found on the north-facing slopes within the project area. This is also a mature community with trees reaching 70 feet in height. The understory is relatively open except where this community adjoins the disturbed areas. This community contains many of the same species found in the dry upland forest ' community, as mentioned earlier. Other dominant species include red maple, tulip poplar, and mountain magnolia (Magnolia frasieri). The understory in this forest is typically composed of Catawba rhododendron (Rhododendron catawbiense), mountain laurel ' (Kalmia latifolia), and violet (Viola sp.). 2.2.4.5 Wetland Community 1 Two small wetlands are located in the pasture near stations 29+00 and 34+00. Each wetland is located at the toe of a large hill slope and is fed partly or entirely by spring ' seeps. Two pipes that apparently drain an underground spring feed the largest wetland community. This wetland is triangular in shape and approximatel It is bounded by a dirt road on the south side and pasture on the other two sides. The water I has been channelized on the northern side and flows to its confluence with LBC near station 29+00. ' Another wetland is found just to the east of the wetland described above. This wetland is 1/3 to 1/ the size of the larger wetland. A very large pile of limbs and stumps conceals a spring that feeds this wetland. Only a few scattered trees remain here, and the standing ' water in the wetland and associated channel is stagnant, with heavy algae growth. A ditch drains this wetland also, and enters LBC near station 34. 1 ' 19 Stream Restoration Plan Little Bugaboo Creek, Wilkes County, NC I Cattle have access to both of these wetlands and have severely impaired the growth of new vegetation. Woody vegetation is sparse and very little herbaceous cover can be found. The dominant tree species include tag alder (Alnus serrulata), red maple, flowering dogwood and American holly. Multiflora rose, greenbriar, and Japanese honeysuckle also proliferate. Fescue is the primary herbaceous species. The soils of these wetlands are hydric, but have indiscernible layers due to cattle trampling the soil. 2.2.5 Wildlife Observations Wildlife and signs of wildlife were noted during on-site visits, however, a formal wildlife survey was not performed. Tracks of white tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and raccoon (Procyon lotor) were observed along the stream banks, and in the adjacent pastures. A muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus) was also observed near the stream. A variety of birds were seen in the thickets, shrubs, and forests surrounding the stream channel including: blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata), eastern bluebird (Sialia sialis), American goldfinch (Carduelis tristis), tufted titmouse (Parus bicolor), American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos), Carolina wren (Thryothorus ludovicianus), Carolina chickadee (Parus caolinensis), white-breasted nuthatch (Sitta caroiinensis), downy woodpecker (Picoides pubescens), mourning dove (Zenaida macroura), red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicencis), turkey vulture (Cathartes aura) eastern phoebe (Sayornis phoebe), American robin (Turdus migratorius), European starling (Sturnus vulgaris), and song sparrow (elospiza melodia). Small fish were seen in LBC near the wetland communities. ' The USFWS lists 1 species under federal protection and four species of federal concern for Wilkes County as of February 2002 (USFWS 2001). These species are listed in Table 1. The NC Natural Heritage Program lists the regal fritillary as a Federal Species of ' Concern in Wilkes County, however it does not appear on the USFWS list for this county. This is most likely because the NC NHP files were updated more recently than the USFWS files. For this reason, the regal fritillary is included in this report. I I J 20 I_ II '1 II I1?

Furthermore, no suitable habitat for any of these federally listed species was observed during the site visit. 3.0 REFERENCE REACHES 3.1 BIG BRANCH ¦ Big Branch, a second order stream, is located 1.5 miles south of Blevins Store in Surry County, North Carolina (Figure 9). Big Branch flows into the Fisher River approximately ' 1000 feet downstream of the reach surveyed. The stream has a drainage area of 1216 acres or 1.9 square miles. The watershed is mildly sloped (2.3 percent) with forested and agricultural areas throughout. The area surrounding the creek is forested and hilly on the ' south side. The north side has a thin row of trees along a road embankment. The vegetation is similar to that of the project site with dense shrub and deciduous vegetation lining its banks and adjacent floodplain. The floodplain area upstream of this reach is used for cattle grazing. The riparian area is fenced out so the cattle do not have access to the stream. { 1 A complete biological assessment of the stream was conducted on August 16, 1999. A total of 204 benthic macroinvertebrates making up 38 taxa were found in Big Branch. Seventeen of these taxa were EPT taxa. According to this biological assessment, this ' stream appears to be in excellent condition. The NC biotic index value was 3.26 and the percentage of chironomids were low (6 percent). I 22 i Stream Restoration Plan Little Bugaboo Creek, Wilkes County, NC I I The stream was surveyed on August 12, 1999. Channel dimension, pattern, and profile were measured for 330 linear feet of stream. The end point of the survey is located approximately 80 feet upstream of the Red Hill Creek Road bridge. The stream had a bankfull channel width of 21.5 feet and a bankfull mean depth of 2.0 feet. Big Branch is an E4 stream type from Rosgen Classification system. Longitudinal profile, cross- sections, and the pebble count for this reference reach is located in Appendix C. 3.2 BASIN CREEK Basin Creek, a fourth order stream, is located entirely within Doughton Recreational Area in Allegheny and Wilkes Counties (Figure 10). The reach surveyed is located approximately 4000 feet up Grassy Gap Road within the park boundaries and below the junction of West Branch Basin Creek and Cove Creek. The drainage area for the reach surveyed is 4607 acres or 7.2 square miles. The watershed is steeply sloped (10.3 percent) with a heavily forested stable landuse. The entire watershed is located within State Park boundaries. Dense shrub and deciduous vegetation line the banks and adjacent hillslopes. The surveyed reach is located immediately downstream from the confluence of two colluvial B type streams. A survey crew from Natural Resources Conservation Service and Surry County Soil and Water Conservation Service surveyed the stream on October 28, 1998. Channel dimension, pattern, and profile were measured for 953 linear feet of stream. The stream had a bankfull channel width of 33.2 feet and a bankfull mean depth of 2.1 feet. Basin creek is a C4 stream type. A biological assessment was not conducted on this stream. Longitudinal profile, cross-sections, and the pebble count for this reference reach is located in Appendix D. 4.0 STREAM CHANNEL DESIGN ' This restoration will classify as a Priority 2 restoration (Rosgen, 1997). The floodplain will be re-established to fit the existing stream profile. Table 2 describes and summarizes the four priorities of incised river restoration (Rosgen, 1997). The proposed stream ' restoration will restore a stable meander pattern, modify channel cross-section, restore bedform, improve sediment transport capacity, enhance habitat, and re-establish a floodplain for the stream. ' The design was based upon Dave Rosgen's natural channel design methodology. As described in Section 4.0, Big Branch and Basin Creek were utilized as reference reaches on which the morphological characteristics were measured to determine a range of values ' for the stable dimension, pattern, and profile of the proposed channel. The existing and proposed morphological characteristics are shown in Table 3. ' Ten tributaries/drainages enter LBC or the UT within the project limits. All will be stabilized or restored within the easement limits of the project. The two main perennial tributaries will be restored to a stable dimension, pattern, and profile. All of these ' 23 Stream Restoration Plan Little Bugaboo Creek, Wilkes County, NC tributaries/drainages have been previously straightened by landowners to improve drainage. Design parameters will based upon reference data from Big Branch. ' A conceptual design was developed from the range of values listed in Table 3. This stream restoration project will restore approximately 4,500 linear feet of LBC and 1,900 linear feet of the UT. The plan view of the proposed restoration design can be seen in Figure 11 (a through e). 0 24 wv e?c?thrl 6h ( Yt + ? ? ? ? ? +5 x , i (( ? '?? f '?.. ;kh1 a r ti ?••fr-?? '4a / ? ( ,-r L ,?

Stream Restoration Plan Little Bugaboo Creek, Wilkes County, NC 4.1 RESTORATION TECHNIQUES Stream dimension, pattern, and profile will be adjusted so the new stream channel can maintain stability while transporting its water and sediment load. The Priority 2 restoration (see Table 2) will involve modifying the existing channel at its existing elevation to create a stable channel (Figure 11 (a through e)). Vegetation will be utilized to provide stability and provide habitat along the stream banks and in the riparian area. The permanent conservation easement will be fenced to restrict cattle access to this area. Stable cattle and farm equipment crossings will be established to provide landowners with access to both sides of the stream while keeping cattle outside the riparian zone. Local NRCS staff will work with landowners to install watering systems for cattle. The greatest advantage of this Priority 2 restoration will be to create a floodplain that the active channel can actively access. Other advantages of a Priority 2 restoration include improving aesthetics, improving habitat, reduction of bank height and streambank erosion, and lowering of the in-channel shear stress. 4.1.1 Dimension The present bankfull channel width for LBC ranges from 26.0 to 35.5 feet with a cross- sectional area ranging from 54.0 to 87.7 square feet and the present bankfull channel width for the UT ranges from 17.5 to 18.0 feet with a cross-sectional area ranging from 21.2 to 21.9 square feet. The design channel will be constructed to bankfull target dimensions that are based on a combination of reference reach surveys, HEC RAS modeling, and regional curve information. Typical cross-sections can be seen in Figure 12. A design width of 25.7 feet for LBC and 18.0 feet for the UT will be applied to the proposed reach. This width was back-calculated from the cross-sectional area taken from the NC Piedmont Regional Curve and a width-to-depth ratio of 11.0 for LBC and 12 for the UT. Required mean depth of the channel was verified using critical dimensionless shear stress relationships to ensure there is enough design depth to transport the channel bedload without aggrading or degrading. These characteristics will provide a stream channel that classifies as an E-type channel for LBC and C-type channel for the UT according to the Rosgen classification system. The existing channel, with bank height ratio's ranging from 1.9 to 4.5, will have benches cut at the bankfull elevation. This bankfull bench will establish a floodplain at the bankfull elevation of the existing channel. This bankfull bench will provide an accessible floodplain for the restored channel. The proposed channel will be able to access a floodplain and effectively transport the sediment load. 29 ?m ? m 9 X % -? v \ x I x I o m 4 I 00 + o v ? 3N\, ??

The current sinuosity in LBC is 1.24 and in the UT is 1.18. Design sinuosity for LBC is 1.2 and for the UT is 1.3. Existing pattern measurements ' were taken from the topographic mapping are included in Table 3. A stable pattern will be established by softening of tight meanders and establishing new meanders in long straight sections of the channel. This will be achieved by introducing meanders into the stream with appropriate radius of curvatures and lengths based on ' reference reach data and existing constraints. The maximum sinuosity has been designed into the new channel based on the reference data and project constraints. Introduction of these meanders will improve habitat while lowering slope and shear stress. 4 .1.3 Bedform The existing bedform along LBC and the UT is in poor condition. Long, straight sections of the channel consist of predominantly run bedform features. The design channel will incorporate riffles and pools to provide bedform common to E4/C4 stream types with gravel substrate (Figure 13). Pools will be located in the outside of meander bends with ' riffles in the inflection points between meanders. Riffles on LBC will have a thalweg depth of 3.5 feet while the pools will be deeper with a maximum depth of 5.2 feet. On the UT riffles will have a thalweg depth of 2.1 feet while the pools will be deeper with a ' maximum depth of 3.3 feet on UT. A graph of the proposed profile can be seen in Figure 14. The profile may be adjusted slightly during the final design phase of the project. ' Cross-vanes will be utilized as grade control structures and to tie the relocated sections back into the existing channel. The cross vanes will be constructed out of natural materials such as boulders and wood. Existing bedrock outcroppings will also be ' incorporated into the proposed stream profile. The existing pool-to-pool spacing is impaired in areas due to tight meander geometry. ' Existing pool-to-pool spacing on LBC is 57 to 287 feet and 33 to 176 on the UT. The proposed spacing is 106 to 217 feet for LBC and 64 to 166 feet on the UT, which is within the range of 3 and 12 bankfull widths as determined from the reference reach data. To accomplish this, pools will be realigned or constructed such that they will be located in the outside of the meander bends. Bedform will also be addressed through the strategic placement of natural material structures such as cross vanes, root wads, and large woody debris. Modifications to the bedform will provide stability and habitat to the channel. ' 4.1.4 Wetland Area The wetland area near station 29+00 on LBC will be fenced, enhanced with native vegetation, and have earthen level spreaders constructed to help improve water quality on the site. A stable area will be constructed to provide a crossing for cattle and farm equipment. The earthen level spreaders will deter channeling of water through the wetland allowing sheet flow, and maximizing water quality improvement for the area.

The riparian zone will extend 25 feet on average on either side of the channel from the top of bank (Figure 14). These areas will be planted with appropriate riparian vegetation as described in Section 6.0 Habitat Restoration. 4.2 SEDIMENT TRANSPORT A stable stream has the capacity to move its sediment load without aggrading or degrading. The total load of sediment can be divided into bed load and wash load. Wash load is normally composed of fine sands, silts and clay and transported in suspension at a rate that is determined by availability and not hydraulically controlled. Bed load is transported by rolling, sliding, or hopping (saltating) along the bed. At higher discharges, some portion of the bed load can be suspended, especially if there is a sand component in the bed load. Bed material transport rates are essentially controlled by the size and nature of the bed material and hydraulic conditions (Hey 1997). Critical dimensionless shear stress (2 *,j ) can be calculated using a surface and subsurface particle sample from a representative riffle in the reach. . Since taking a subsurface sample is difficult, it is often estimated using the median grain size from a point bar sample. The sample is taken on the point bar face halfway between the thalweg and bankfull. -0.872 z *?? = 0.0834 d d5o where, *ci=critical dimensionless shear stress d;=d5o of riffle bed surface from pebble count (mm) d5o =subpavement d50 or bar d50 (mm) A riffle bed surface pebble count was taken at a riffle on LBC using a method suggested by Angela Jessup of the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Yadkinville office. 100 particles were randomly selected along the wetted area throughout the entire length of a riffle on LBC and UT. The riffle bed surface d50 was then calculated to be 35 mm on LBC and 24mm on UT. A subsurface sample was taken at the same riffle and sieved to determine the subsurface d50. The subpavement d50 was then calculated to be 13 mm on LBC and llmm on UT. The data and particle distribution graphs can be found in Appendix B. 41 Stream Restoration Plan Little Bugaboo Creek, Wilkes County, NC The critical dimensionless shear stress is then calculated as follows, ' LBC: 872 -0 . 35 Omm . z * , = 0.0834 1 = 0.035 ? 13.Omm ' UT: -0872 24 Omm . z?? = 0.0834 = 0.042 I I LOmm ' Critical dimensionless shear stress can then be used to predict the water depth required to move the largest particle found within the active channel, which is 0.25 ft for the LBC and 0.23 ft for UT. The water depth is calculated by: ' (Z *,,)(P..d - Pwa,er)(D; ) d _ S Ci Thus, LBC: UT: where, d=water depth (ft) 'r*c;=critical dimensionless shear stress Nand=denisty of sand (2.65 lb/ft3) pwater=density of water (1.0 lb/ft) D;=largest particle found in the bar sample (ft) s=average bankfull slope (0.035)(2.65 lb -1.0 I3 )(0.25 ft) d = ft3 = 2.6 ft 0.0054 - ft lb lb (0.042)(2.65 .ft3 -1.0 ft3 )(0.23 ft) d = =1.5 ft 0.01 ? ft For LBC a critical dimensionless shear stress value of 0.035, the depth of water required to move a 0.25 ft particle was predicted to be 2.6 ft. The proposed channel dimensions have an average bankfull depth of 2.34 ft, with a maximum depth of 3.5 ft. This design provides the depth required to move the 0.25 ft particle found in the bar sample. The channel dimensions will provide sufficient shear stress to accommodate sediment transport. Grade control will be established to reduce the possibility of down-cutting of the restored channel. 42 Stream Restoration Plan Little Bugaboo Creek, Wilkes County, NC For UT a critical dimensionless shear stress value of 0.042, the depth of water required to move a 0.23 ft particle was predicted to be 1.5 ft. The proposed channel dimensions have an average bankfull depth of 1.5 ft, with a maximum depth of 2.1 ft. This design provides the depth required to move the 0.23 ft particle found in the bar sample. The channel dimensions will provide sufficient shear stress to accommodate sediment transport. Shear stress at the riffle was also checked using Shield's Curve. The shear stress placed on the sediment particles is the force that entrains and moves the particles, given by: 2 = 7Rs where, =shear stress (lb/ft2) r--specific gravity of water (62.4 lb/ft) R=hydraulic radius (ft) s=average bankfull slope (ft/ft) Hydraulic radius is calculated by: R_A P where, R=hydraulic radius A=cross-sectional area (ft) P=wetted perimeter (ft) Thus, LBC: 60 ftz f R _ 27.3ft =2.2 UT: 2 R= 19? =1.42 ft 43 Stream Restoration Plan Little Bugaboo Creek, Wilkes County, NC Wetted perimeter was measured off of a CADD file of the typical riffle cross-section drawn to scale. Therefore, LBC: z = (62.4 lb )(2.2 ft)(0.0054 ft) = 0.741b/ ft2 UT: lb z = (62.4 ft3 )(1.42 ft)(0.01) = 0.881b/ ft2 The critical shear stress for the proposed channel has to be sufficient to move the D84 of the riffle bed material, which is 45 mm for LBC and 43 mm for UT. Based on a shear stress of 0.74 lb/ft2 for LBC and 0.88 lb/ft2 for UT, Shield's Curve predicts that this stream can move a particle that is, on average, greater than 45 mm for LBC and 60mm. ' Since the D84 was 45 mm for LBC and 43 mm for UT and Shield's Curve predicts 45 mm for LBC and 60mm for UT, the proposed stream has the competency to move its bed load. ' 4.3 FLOODING ANALYSIS ' This restoration site is in a FEMA/regulatory floodway zone and therefore, is subject to FEMA regulations. Currently there are no structures located in the floodway that would be impacted by floodplain alterations. The Priority 2 restoration of the stream will leave ' the stream's existing profile elevations essentially the same. A new floodplain will be established so that the active stream will be able to access it during larger storm events. Considering the type of restoration it is assumed that for smaller events the water surface elevations along the stream shall remain the same. During storms where the stream accesses the newly established floodplain, the new water surface elevations are expected ' to be lower than the existing water surface elevations for storms of the same magnitude. The restoration will create neither positive nor negative water surface elevation changes during the larger storm events (greater than 50-year). HEC-RAS will be used to analyze ' both existing and proposed conditions once the design is completed. Sheer stress and flood stages will be compared between the two conditions to evaluate the design. The USGS Method for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods in rural basins was ' used to estimate the 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100-year peak discharges for both stream reaches. The storm flows for each event are as follows: 44 Stream Restoration Plan Little Bugaboo Creek, Wilkes County, NC Little Bugaboo Unnamed Creek Tributary 3.5 mil 1.4 mil ' Q2 = 250 cfs Q2 = 150 cfs Q5 = 430 cfs Q5 = 250 cfs Q10 = 590 cfs Q10 = 330 cfs ' Q25 = 830 cfs Q25 = 450 cfs Q50 = 1,040 cfs Q50 = 560 cfs Q100 = 1,290 cfs Q100 = 670 cfs The region-of-influence method describe in the USGS publication estimates flood discharges at ungaged basins by deriving, for a given ungaged rural site, regression relations between the flood discharges and basin characteristics of a unique subset of gaged stations. The latitude and longitude and drainage area for the LBC site is all the input that is required. HEC-RAS, version 3.0, will be used to compute a flooding analysis for the existing and proposed conditions. This analysis will ensure that the project will not change existing floodwater limits and will determine whether personal or public property is at risk of damage. 4.4 STRUCTURES Several different structures made of natural materials will be installed along LBC and the UT. These structures include cross vanes, J-hook vanes, and root wads. Natural materials such as boulders, logs, and root wads will be used to create these structures from off-site sources. ' 4.4.1 Cross Vane A cross vane structure serves to maintain the grade of the stream. The design shape is roughly that of the letter "U" with the apex located on the upstream side at the foot of the ' ripple. Footer rocks are placed in the channel bottom for stability. Rocks are then placed on these footer rocks in the middle of the channel at approximately the same elevation as the ripple. On either side of the channel, rocks are placed at an angle to the stream bank, ' gradually inclining in elevation until they are located above the bankfull surface directly adjacent to the stream bank. Water flowing downstream is directed over the vane towards the middle of the channel. Rocks placed at the apex determine the bed elevation ' upstream. A cross vane is primarily used for grade control and to protect the stream banks. F L r 45 Stream Restoration Plan Little Bugaboo Creek, Wilkes County, NC 4.4.2 Root Wads ' The objectives of these structure placements are as follows: (1) protect the stream bank from erosion; (2) provide in-stream and overhead cover for fish; (3) provide shade, ' detritus, terrestrial insect habitat; (4) look natural, and (5) provide diversity of habitats (Rosgen 1996). A footer log and boulder are placed on the channel bottom abutting the stream bank along an outside meander that will provide support for the root wad and ' additional stability to the bank. A large tree root wad is then placed on the stream bank with additional boulders and rocks on either side for stability. Flowing water is deflected away from the bank and towards the center of the channel. ' Specific location all of these structures will be determined during final design. 5.0 HABITAT RESTORATION I The restoration plan requires the establishment of riparian vegetation at the site. The proposed vegetation is described in the following sections. 5.1 Vegetation Vegetation that develops a quick canopy has extensive root system, and a substantial ' above-ground plant structure is needed to help stabilize the banks of a restored stream channel in order to reduce scour and runoff erosion. In natural riparian environments, ' pioneer plants that often provide these functions are alder, river birch, silky dogwood, and willow. Once established, these trees and shrubs create an environment that allows for the succession of other riparian species including ashes, black walnuts, red maples, sycamores, oaks and other riparian species. In the newly restored stream channel, revegetation will be vital to help stabilize the ' stream banks and establish a riparian zone around the restored channel. Revegetation efforts on this project will emulate natural vegetation communities found along relatively undisturbed stream corridors. To quickly establish dense root mass along the channel ' bank, a native grass mixture will be planted on the stream bed and bank. Shrubs will be utilized on the stream bank and along the floodplain to provide additional root mass. Extra care will be given to the outside of the meander bends to ensure a dense root mass in those areas of high stress. Coir matting will be used to provide erosion protection until vegetation can be established. Along the tops of the channel banks, trees, shrubs and a native grass mixture will be planted. ' There are few suitable salvageable plants along the stream banks. As a result, a mixture of seeds, livestakes, bare root nursery stock, and transplants will be utilized to stabilize ' the banks. Proposed species to be planted include 46 Stream Restoration Plan Little Bugaboo Creek, Wilkes County, NC Trees Tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) Black walnut (Juglans nigra) Ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana) River birch (Betula nigra) Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) Persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) Box elder (Acer negundo) Shrubs ' Dog-hobble (Leucothoe sp.) Rhododendron (Rhododendron minum) Serviceberry (Amelanchier arborea) Silky dogwood (Cornus amomum) Black willow (Salix nigra) Tag alder (Alnus serrulata) ' Winterberry (Ilex verticillata) American holly (Ilex opaca0 Herbs- Permanent seed mixture Gramminoids ' Bluestem (Andropogon glomeratus) Tussock sedge (Carex stricta) River oats (Chasmanthium latifolium) ' Wood oats (Chasmanthium laxum) Virginia wildrye (Elymus virginicus) Deertongue (Panicum clandestinum) ' Silver plumegrass (Saccharum alopecurodium) Little blue stem (Schizachyrium scoparium) ' Woolgrass (Scirpus cyperinus) Other herbaceous vegetation ' Cut-leaved coneflower (Rudbeckia laciniata) Wrinkle leaved goldenrod (Solidago rugosa) New York Ironweed (Vernonia noveboracensis). n n Areas that are currently vegetated with non-invasive trees or shrubs will remain undisturbed and succession will be allowed to proceed naturally. Woody vegetation will be planted between November and March to allow plants to stabilize during the dormant period and set root during the spring season. In the areas where invasive and exotic species are located, during construction and monitoring control by removal or appropriate herbicides will be implemented to prevent competition with the revegetation efforts. It is imperative that grubbing techniques be utilized to eradicate fescue grass within the 47 i Stream Restoration Plan Little Bugaboo Creek, Wilkes County, NC construction area. Fescue is an invasive grass that may overtake planted areas if not properly eliminated prior to planting. 5.2 Riparian Buffers A riparian buffer will be utilized to revegetate the floodplain. Any areas disturbed during construction will be replanted with bottomland hardwood forest vegetation to the existing tree line or a distance of 50 feet from the top of bank (Figure 15). 5.2.1 Bottomland Hardwood Forest The riparian buffer will contain dominant vegetation similar to the Piedmont/Low Mountain Alluvial Forest community type described in Classification of the Natural Communities of North Carolina: Third Approximation (Schafle and Weakly 1990). Proposed species to be planted include trees, shrubs and permanent seed mixture listed under Streambank Vegetation (Section 6.1). 5.2.2 Wetlands Cattle and various agricultural practices have heavily impacted the wetland communities adjacent to LBC. Fencing out the cattle, plugging existing ditches, and creating swales to spread out overland flow will greatly enhance the quality of these wetlands, as well as increase their overall size. Once construction is complete, the wetland will be planted with native, non-invasive vegetation including tag alder, silky dogwood, river birch, American elm (Ulmus americana), green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanicum), buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis), swamp chestnut oak (Quercus michauxii), and willow oak (Quercus phellos). It may also be beneficial to plant herbaceous species such as rushes (Juncus effusus) and bulrush (Scirpus purshianus). 5.2.3 Temporary Seeding A temporary seed mixture will be applied to all disturbed areas immediately after construction activities have completed. This temporary seed mixture will provide erosion control until permanent seed can become established. 48 EASEMENT BOUNDARY EASEMENFENCENDNE FENCE LINE BOTTOMLAND HARDWOOD BOTTOMLAND HARDWOOD FOREST ZONE MAIN STREAM CHANNEL FOREST ZONE TYPICALLY 25' (VARIES) TOP OF BANK TYPICALLY 25' (VARIES) r BARE ROOT SHRUB (BANKFULL) LIVE BARE ROOT TREE 3 FT STAKES lV. .. 5:1 p?R #V -------BL -- F` 5:1 OPVAp STAGE VqR s 12:1 MAX. 1:1 ?1'(I? 12:1 COIF COIR KEYED IN TO 0.5 FT VEGETATION ZONE DETAIL-POOL ?lj SCALE: NTS EASEMENT BOUNDARY EASEMENT BOUNDARY FENCE LINE FENCE LINE BOTTOMLAND HARDWOOD BOTTOMLAND HARDWOOD FOREST ZONE MAIN STREAM CHANNEL FOREST ZONE YPICALLY 25' (VARIES) TYPICALLY 25' (VARIES) r TOP OF BANK 1 BAS BARE ,SH UB (BANKFULL) DOT TREE 2;1# # OR - - - - - BANKFUL - - - - - S.T OP VPII 12:1 ntit Cn._ _. _ ..N6 12:1 R KEYED IN TO 0.5 FT VEGETATION ZONE DETAIL- RIFFLE SCALE: NTS n C Stream Restoration Plan Little Bugaboo Creek, Wilkes County, NC 6.0 MONITORING 6.1 STREAM CHANNEL Monitoring of the stability of the channel is recommended to occur approximately 6 months after restoration is complete or after bankfull (or greater) events and should continue annually for a period of 3 to 5 years. Monitoring practices may include, but are not limited to, installing bank erosion pins and a toe pin, monumented cross-sections, scour chains, macroinvertebrate studies, longitudinal profiles, conducting the bank erosion hazard rating guide and establishing photo reference points. The purpose of monitoring is to determine bank stability, bed stability, morphological stability, and overall channel stability. Table 4, below, can be used for selecting practices. Table 4.

Availability of acceptable, good quality plant species will be determined. The site will be inspected at completion of planting to determine proper planting methods, including proper plant spacing, density, and species composition. Competition control will be implemented if determined to be necessary during the early stages of growth and development of the tree species. Quantitative sampling of the vegetation will be performed between August 1 and November 30 at the end of the first year and after each growing season until the vegetation criteria is met. 50 n H Stream Restoration Plan Little Bugaboo Creek, Wilkes County, NC In preparation for the quantitative sampling, 50 by 50 feet (0.05-acre) vegetative plots will be established in the reforested area. Plots will be evenly distributed throughout the site. For each plot, species composition and density will be reported. Photo points will be taken within each zone. Monitoring will take place once each year for five years. ' Success will be determined by survival of target species within the sample plots. At least six different representative tree species should be present on the entire site. If the vegetative success criteria are not met, the cause of failure will be determined and appropriate corrective action will be taken. 6.3 MACROINVERTEBRATES ' A monitoring period of 3 to 5 years is commonly suggested to determine changes in macroinvertebrate populations within a newly restored stream. The North Carolina ' Wetlands Restoration Program will determine a macroinvertebrate monitoring policy.
