EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Restoration Systems, L.L.C. has completed restoration of streams and wetlands at the Three Mile Creek Restoration Site (hereafter referred to as the “Site”) to assist the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program in fulfilling stream and wetland mitigation goals. The Site, located in southwestern Avery County approximately 5.2 miles northeast of Spruce Pine, North Carolina, provides 8103 stream mitigation units and 3.7 riparian wetland mitigation units as described in the As-Built Mitigation Plan dated April 2009. The Site is located in United States Geological Survey (USGS) Hydrologic Unit and Targeted Local Watershed 06010108010020 (North Carolina Division of Water Quality Subbasin 04-0306) of the French Broad River Basin. This report serves as the Year 2 (2010) annual monitoring report. Primary activities at the Site included 1) stream restoration, 2) stream enhancement, 3) stream preservation, 4) wetland restoration and enhancement, 5) soil scarification, and 6) plant community restoration. Project restoration efforts provide 8103 Stream Mitigation Units and 3.7 riverine Wetland Mitigation Units. Eight vegetation plots (10-meter by 10-meter in size) were established and permanently monumented. These plots were surveyed in July 2010 for the Year 2 (2010) monitoring season. Vegetation sampling across the Site was above the required average density with 637 planted stems per acre surviving. In addition, each individual plot was above success criteria. Eleven cross-sections and 3600 linear feet of longitudinal profiles were measured for the Year 2 (2010) monitoring. As a whole, monitoring measurements indicate that there have been minimal changes in both the longitudinal profile and cross-sections as compared to as-built data. The as-built channel geometry compares favorably with the emulated, stable E/C type stream reach as set forth in the detailed mitigation plan and construction plans. Current monitoring has demonstrated dimension, pattern, and profile were stable over the course of the monitoring period. The only stream problem area noted within the Site during the Year 2 (2010) monitoring year includes aggradation within a portion of Tributary 1. Aggradation has resulted from the installation of a dirt driveway on the neighboring property. Proactive measures are not recommended at this time to restore channel dimension; however, this reach should be watched over time to ascertain any instability. All three of the monitored gauges within restoration areas were inundated/saturated within 12 inches of the surface for greater than 12.5 percent of the growing season, which extends from May 1 to October 11 (163 days). In summary, Site vegetation, streams, and wetland hydrology met success criteria for Year 2 (2010) monitoring.

PROJECT BACKGROUND
1.1 Location and Setting Restoration Systems, L.L.C. (Restoration Systems) has completed restoration of streams and wetlands at the Three Mile Creek Restoration Site (hereafter referred to as the “Site”) to assist the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) in fulfilling stream and wetland mitigation goals. The Site, located in southwestern Avery County approximately 5.2 miles northeast of Spruce Pine, North Carolina, provides 8103 stream mitigation units and 3.7 riparian wetland mitigation units as described in the April 2009 As-Built Mitigation Plan (Figures 1 and 2, Appendix A). The Site is located in United States Geological Survey (USGS) Hydrologic Unit and Targeted Local Watershed 06010108010020 (North Carolina Division of Water Quality Subbasin 04-03-06) of the French Broad River Basin. Directions to the Site: From Asheville or Raleigh, take I-40 to Marion; take NC 226 north through Linville Falls; go left on NC 194; site is ~4.5 miles on left Or, From Asheville take 19/23 North to 19E through Spruce Pine to NC 194 Take a right on NC 194 and travel approximately 1.5 miles The Site is on the right Latitude, Longitude of Site: 35.9827°N, 81.9843°W (NAD83/WGS84) 1.2 Project Objectives The primary components of the restoration project included 1) construction of a stable, riffle-pool stream channel; 2) enhancement of water quality functions within and downstream of the Site; 3) creation of a natural vegetated buffer along restored stream channels; 4) restoration of jurisdictional riverine wetlands in the Site; 5) improvement of aquatic habitat and species diversity by enhancing stream bed variability; and 6) restoration of wildlife functions associated with a riparian corridor/stable stream. 1.3 Project Structure, Restoration Type, and Approach A 26.68-acre conservation easement was placed on the Site to incorporate all restoration activities. The Site contains 4.8 acres of hydric soil, Three Mile Creek, 12 unnamed tributaries (UTs) to Three Mile Creek, Fork Creek, and adjacent floodplains, which represent the primary hydrologic features of the Site. Prior to construction, the project was characterized by agricultural land utilized for Christmas tree and ornamental landscape nursery plant production, timber harvest, and livestock grazing. Agricultural practices included the maintenance and removal of riparian vegetation and relocation, dredging, and straightening of onsite streams. In addition, hydric soils were disturbed due to regular plowing and vegetation maintenance, hoof shear from livestock, and the removal of groundwater hydrology inputs from the rerouting and straightening of Site tributaries. Restoration of Site streams and wetlands will result in positive benefits for water quality and biological diversity in the Three Mile Creek watershed. Targeted mitigation efforts at the Site were accomplished by: 1. Removing nonpoint and point sources of pollution associated with agricultural practices including a) cessation of broadcasting fertilizer, pesticides, and other agricultural chemicals into and adjacent to the Site and b) provide a forested riparian buffer to treat surface runoff. 2. Reducing sedimentation within onsite and downstream receiving waters by a) reducing bank erosion associated with vegetation maintenance and plowing adjacent to Site streams and wetlands and b) planting a forested riparian buffer adjacent to Site streams and wetlands. 3. Reestablishing stream stability and the capacity to transport watershed flows and sediment loads by restoring a stable dimension, pattern, and profile supported by natural in-stream habitat and grade/bank stabilization structures.

4. Promoting floodwater attenuation by a) reconnecting bankfull stream flows to the abandoned floodplain terrace; b) restoring secondary, dredged, straightened, and entrenched tributaries, thereby reducing floodwater velocities within smaller catchment basins; c) restoration of depressional floodplain wetlands and floodwater storage capacity within the Site, and d) revegetating Site floodplains to increase frictional resistance on floodwaters. 5. Improving aquatic habitat with bed variability and the use of in-stream structures upstream of a reach identified by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission as supporting naturally reproducing rainbow trout populations. 6. Providing a terrestrial wildlife corridor and refuge in an area that is developed for agricultural production. As constructed, the Site restored historic stream and wetland functions, which existed onsite prior to channel straightening and dredging, agricultural impacts, and vegetation removal. Stream construction of meandering, E/C stream channel resulted in 6057 linear feet of stream restoration, 618 linear feet of stream enhancement (Level I), 875 linear feet of stream enhancement (Level II), 6421 linear feet of stream preservation, 2.5 acres of riverine wetland restoration, and 2.3 acres of riverine wetland enhancement (Table 1).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Restoration Systems, L.L.C. has completed restoration of streams and wetlands at the Three Mile Creek Restoration Site (hereafter referred to as the “Site”) to assist the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program in fulfilling stream and wetland mitigation goals. The Site, located in southwestern Avery County approximately 5.2 miles northeast of Spruce Pine, North Carolina, provides 8103 stream mitigation units and 3.7 riparian wetland mitigation units as described in the As-Built Mitigation Plan dated April 2009. The Site is located in United States Geological Survey (USGS) Hydrologic Unit and Targeted Local Watershed 06010108010020 (North Carolina Division of Water Quality Subbasin 04-0306) of the French Broad River Basin. This report serves as the Year 2 (2010) annual monitoring report. Primary activities at the Site included 1) stream restoration, 2) stream enhancement, 3) stream preservation, 4) wetland restoration and enhancement, 5) soil scarification, and 6) plant community restoration. Project restoration efforts provide 8103 Stream Mitigation Units and 3.7 riverine Wetland Mitigation Units. Eight vegetation plots (10-meter by 10-meter in size) were established and permanently monumented. These plots were surveyed in July 2010 for the Year 2 (2010) monitoring season. Vegetation sampling across the Site was above the required average density with 637 planted stems per acre surviving. In addition, each individual plot was above success criteria. Eleven cross-sections and 3600 linear feet of longitudinal profiles were measured for the Year 2 (2010) monitoring. As a whole, monitoring measurements indicate that there have been minimal changes in both the longitudinal profile and cross-sections as compared to as-built data. The as-built channel geometry compares favorably with the emulated, stable E/C type stream reach as set forth in the detailed mitigation plan and construction plans. Current monitoring has demonstrated dimension, pattern, and profile were stable over the course of the monitoring period. The only stream problem area noted within the Site during the Year 2 (2010) monitoring year includes aggradation within a portion of Tributary 1. Aggradation has resulted from the installation of a dirt driveway on the neighboring property. Proactive measures are not recommended at this time to restore channel dimension; however, this reach should be watched over time to ascertain any instability. All three of the monitored gauges within restoration areas were inundated/saturated within 12 inches of the surface for greater than 12.5 percent of the growing season, which extends from May 1 to October 11 (163 days). In summary, Site vegetation, streams, and wetland hydrology met success criteria for Year 2 (2010) monitoring.

PROJECT BACKGROUND
1.1 Location and Setting Restoration Systems, L.L.C. (Restoration Systems) has completed restoration of streams and wetlands at the Three Mile Creek Restoration Site (hereafter referred to as the “Site”) to assist the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) in fulfilling stream and wetland mitigation goals. The Site, located in southwestern Avery County approximately 5.2 miles northeast of Spruce Pine, North Carolina, provides 8103 stream mitigation units and 3.7 riparian wetland mitigation units as described in the April 2009 As-Built Mitigation Plan (Figures 1 and 2, Appendix A). The Site is located in United States Geological Survey (USGS) Hydrologic Unit and Targeted Local Watershed 06010108010020 (North Carolina Division of Water Quality Subbasin 04-03-06) of the French Broad River Basin. Directions to the Site: From Asheville or Raleigh, take I-40 to Marion; take NC 226 north through Linville Falls; go left on NC 194; site is ~4.5 miles on left Or, From Asheville take 19/23 North to 19E through Spruce Pine to NC 194 Take a right on NC 194 and travel approximately 1.5 miles The Site is on the right Latitude, Longitude of Site: 35.9827°N, 81.9843°W (NAD83/WGS84) 1.2 Project Objectives The primary components of the restoration project included 1) construction of a stable, riffle-pool stream channel; 2) enhancement of water quality functions within and downstream of the Site; 3) creation of a natural vegetated buffer along restored stream channels; 4) restoration of jurisdictional riverine wetlands in the Site; 5) improvement of aquatic habitat and species diversity by enhancing stream bed variability; and 6) restoration of wildlife functions associated with a riparian corridor/stable stream. 1.3 Project Structure, Restoration Type, and Approach A 26.68-acre conservation easement was placed on the Site to incorporate all restoration activities. The Site contains 4.8 acres of hydric soil, Three Mile Creek, 12 unnamed tributaries (UTs) to Three Mile Creek, Fork Creek, and adjacent floodplains, which represent the primary hydrologic features of the Site. Prior to construction, the project was characterized by agricultural land utilized for Christmas tree and ornamental landscape nursery plant production, timber harvest, and livestock grazing. Agricultural practices included the maintenance and removal of riparian vegetation and relocation, dredging, and straightening of onsite streams. In addition, hydric soils were disturbed due to regular plowing and vegetation maintenance, hoof shear from livestock, and the removal of groundwater hydrology inputs from the rerouting and straightening of Site tributaries. Restoration of Site streams and wetlands will result in positive benefits for water quality and biological diversity in the Three Mile Creek watershed. Targeted mitigation efforts at the Site were accomplished by: 1. Removing nonpoint and point sources of pollution associated with agricultural practices including a) cessation of broadcasting fertilizer, pesticides, and other agricultural chemicals into and adjacent to the Site and b) provide a forested riparian buffer to treat surface runoff. 2. Reducing sedimentation within onsite and downstream receiving waters by a) reducing bank erosion associated with vegetation maintenance and plowing adjacent to Site streams and wetlands and b) planting a forested riparian buffer adjacent to Site streams and wetlands. 3. Reestablishing stream stability and the capacity to transport watershed flows and sediment loads by restoring a stable dimension, pattern, and profile supported by natural in-stream habitat and grade/bank stabilization structures.

4. Promoting floodwater attenuation by a) reconnecting bankfull stream flows to the abandoned floodplain terrace; b) restoring secondary, dredged, straightened, and entrenched tributaries, thereby reducing floodwater velocities within smaller catchment basins; c) restoration of depressional floodplain wetlands and floodwater storage capacity within the Site, and d) revegetating Site floodplains to increase frictional resistance on floodwaters. 5. Improving aquatic habitat with bed variability and the use of in-stream structures upstream of a reach identified by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission as supporting naturally reproducing rainbow trout populations. 6. Providing a terrestrial wildlife corridor and refuge in an area that is developed for agricultural production. As constructed, the Site restored historic stream and wetland functions, which existed onsite prior to channel straightening and dredging, agricultural impacts, and vegetation removal. Stream construction of meandering, E/C stream channel resulted in 6057 linear feet of stream restoration, 618 linear feet of stream enhancement (Level I), 875 linear feet of stream enhancement (Level II), 6421 linear feet of stream preservation, 2.5 acres of riverine wetland restoration, and 2.3 acres of riverine wetland enhancement (Table 1).
