Executive Summary This report details and summarizes the monthly water quality and quarterly sediment monitoring results at the Dillsboro Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 2602) (the Project) for the second quarter of 2008. The Project is located in southwestern North Carolina on the Tuckasegee River in Jackson County, and includes a dam, reservoir, and powerhouse. The Dillsboro Dam and Powerhouse are located at approximately River Mile (RM) 31.6. During the preparation of the Project relicensing application, a considerable amount of information was obtained on environmental resources within the Project area. Since that time, a License Surrender Application was submitted to the FERC, and Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC (Duke Energy) is taking initiatives to mitigate for the various impacts of decommissioning the Project. The environmental resource information gathered for the relicensing application is currently being used by Duke Energy and Devine Tarbell & Associates, Inc. (DTA) for the monitoring program in preparation for the removal of Dillsboro Dam. is The Dillsboro Dam removal project includes a three-phase environmental monitoring effort. The current, or Pre-Removal Phase, is being used to gather baseline information on the variability of physical, chemical, and biological processes in the Tuckasegee River prior to dam removal. To capture seasonal effects, this phase has been designed to occur the year prior to, and leading up to, dam removal. Pre-Removal Phase Monitoring will include the relocation of downstream mussel populations to areas above the Dillsboro Project with known mussel populations. Dam Removal Monitoring will take place during the actual dam demolition and removal period, which will include environmental parameter threshold triggers to maintain ambient conditions. Post- Dam Removal Monitoring will assess specific physical, chemical, and biological changes in the Project area to determine when the river system has returned to background ambient conditions. The current Pre-Removal Phase spans from January to December of 2008 and this report details the water quality and sediment monitoring portion of the overall environmental monitoring program. The purpose of the Pre-Removal Phase is to gain an understanding of baseline conditions, and the associated seasonal variability of those conditions, in the Tuckasegee River i through the year. The water quality parameters of this study include temperature, dissolved 0 Executive Summary oxygen (DO), specific conductance, pH, turbidity, and total suspended solids (TSS). These measurements are being collected monthly to document these baseline conditions, and ultimately, for comparison with water quality data collected during the removal and post- removal phases, and for comparison with historical data. The sediment investigation includes cross-sectional surveys, substrate mapping, and sediment grab sample analysis on a quarterly basis. • • 2 Section 1 Water Quality Sampling Locations The locations of the water quality sampling sites were selected based on agency consultation and previous study locations. There are nine water quality sampling locations near Dillsboro Dam (see Figure A-1 in Appendix A). Photos of each water quality sampling location are included in Appendix B. The water quality monitoring study includes sections of river both above and below Dillsboro Dam and covers about 2.5 river miles on the Tuckasegee River. ¦ M-1L and M-1R are below Dillsboro Dam at river mile 31.1. M-11, is located on the left bank ascending and M-1R is located on the right bank ascending. The right and left banks at M-1 are monitored separately because of the change in water quality across the river from the influence of Scotts Creek. Scotts Creek is just upstream of M-1 on the left bank. ¦ M-2 is located in Scotts Creek approximately 0.1 mile upstream of the confluence with the Tuckasegee River. ¦ M-3 is located just below Dillsboro Dam at river mile 31.5. ¦ M-4 is at river mile 31.7, just above the dam in Dillsboro Pond at river mile 31.7. ¦ M-5L and M-5R are located on the left and right banks ascending, respectively, in a riffle just upstream of Dillsboro Pond at river mile 32.8 (M-5R was added after the January sampling trip). The right and left banks at M-5 are monitored separately to study the influence of the Tuckasegee Water and Sewer Authority (TWSA). TWSA's discharge point is located just upstream of M-5 on the left bank. ¦ M-6 is located on Savannah Creek, just upstream of the confluence with the Tuckasegee River. ¦ M-7 is located on the mainstem Tuckasegee River, just upstream of Savannah Creek at river mile 33.6. • 3 Section 2 Monthly Water Quality Sampling Data Mainstem Tuckasegee River flows were recorded at two nearby USGS stream flow measuring gauges on days when water quality sampling took place. These stream gauges include: ¦ USGS Gauge 03508050 Tuckasegee River at SR 1172 near Cullowhee, NC; and ¦ USGS Gauge 03510577 Tuckasegee River at Barker's Creek, NC. In addition to flow data collected at USGS gauges, DTA measured the flows of two main tributaries within the study area: Savannah Creek and Scotts Creek. The approximate flow at each site at the time that the water quality was measured is provided below in Table 1. Tributary flows were measured at the same time that water quality sampling took place (Tables C-4 and C- 5 in Appendix Q. The mainstem flows were calculated by prorating flows from the Tuckasegee River gages at Cullowhee and Barker's Creek. Flow data from the USGS gauges is included in Tables C-1 to C-3 in Appendix C. At each of the water quality sampling sites, temperature, DO, specific conductance, pH, turbidity, and TSS were measured. The water quality sampling parameters are summarized in Tables 2 through 7. The water quality instrument used in this study was a Hydrolab° MSS. At the beginning of the second quarter of 2008, the Hydrolab was calibrated in a laboratory, including a Winkler Titration. DTA checked the calibration of the Hydrolab against known standards prior to, and after, each sampling trip. • 4 0 Section 2 Monthly Water Quality Sampling Data TABLE 1 APPROXIMATE FLOWS (CFS) Location Description April May June M-11, River mile 31.1 655 290 495 M-1R River mile 31.1 655 290 495 M-2 Scotts Creek 95 79 39 M-3 River mile 31.5 560 210 455 M-4 River mile 31.7 560 210 455 M-5L River mile 32.8 560 210 455 M-5R River mile 32.8 560 210 455 1-6 Savannah Creek 61 48 25 M-7 River mile 33.6 500 160 430 TABLE 2 TEMPERATURE (DEGREES C) Location Description April May June M-IL River mile 31.1 10.9 13.5 20.1 M-1R River mile 31.1 10.6 13.6 20.2 M-2 Scotts Creek 10.7 13.7 20.1 M-3 River mile 31.5 11.2 13.7 20.5 M-4 River mile 31.7 11.5 13.4 20.9 M-5L River mile 32.8 11.8 13.5 20.9 M-5R River mile 32.8 14.6 13.5 19.6 M-6 Savannah Creek 13.5 13.9 21.1 M-7 River mile 33.6 13.8 13.8 21.0 TABLE 3 DISSOLVED OXYGEN (MG/L) Location Description April May June M-11- River mile 31.1 10.68 9.99 8.86 M-1R River mile 31.1 10.64 9.77 8.77 M-2 Scotts Creek 10.55 9.77 8.50 M-3 River mile 31.5 10.77 9.83 8.83 M-4 River mile 31.7 10.68 9.95 8.39 M-51, River mile 32.8 10.77 10.06 8.57 M-5R River mile 32.8 9.71 9.88 8.70 M-6 Savannah Creek 10.04 10.03 8.67 M-7 River mile 33.6 10.06 10.13 8.87 0 Section 2 Monthly Water Quality Sampling Data TABLE 4 SPECIFIC CONDUCTANCE (pSI) Location Description April May June M-11, River mile 31.1 26 29 32 M-1R River mile 31.1 20 23 27 M-2 Scotts Creek 20 22 26 M-3 River mile 31.5 20 22 27 M-4 River mile 31.7 24 28 34 M-5L River mile 32.8 18 20 25 M-5R River mile 32.8 28 28 30 1-6 Savannah Creek 24 25 26 M-7 River mile 33.6 36 35 41 TABLE 5 PH (UNITS) • Location Description April May June M-11- River mile 31.1 6.64 6.24 6.71 M-1R River mile 31.1 6.89 6.91 7.25 M-2 Scotts Creek 6.94 6.92 7.11 M-3 River mile 31.5 6.85 6.97 7.16 M-4 River mile 31.7 6.85 6.85 6.96 M-51, River mile 32.8 6.94 7.04 7.35 M-5R River mile 32.8 7.05 6.94 7.25 M-6 Savannah Creek 7.10 7.00 7.25 M-7 River mile 33.6 7.13 7.17 7.63 TABLE 6 TURBIDITY (NTU) Location Description April May June M-1 L River mile 31.1 5.9 3.7 14.1 M-1R River mile 31.1 4.1 3.6 12.9 M-2 Scotts Creek 3.6 3.4 11.4 M-3 River mile 31.5 3.4 4.6 7.6 M-4 River mile 31.7 3.2 2.8 9.4 M-5L River mile 32.8 3.0 1.9 9.0 M-5R River mile 32.8 4.7 3.7 7.8 M-6 Savannah Creek 4.4 3.2 6.3 M-7 River mile 33.6 6.7 5.8 6.6 • 0 Section 2 Monthly Water Quality Sampling Data TABLE 7 TOTAL SUSPENDED SOLIDS (MG/L)* Location Description April May June M-1 L River mile 31.1 7 5 20 MAR River mile 3 4 < 4 23 M-2 Scotts Creek 18 8 10 M-3 River mile 31.5 4 < 4 13 M-4 River mile 31.7 < 4 4 9 M-5L River mile 32.8 4 < 4 14 M-5R River mile 32.8 4 < 4 11 M-6 Savannah Creek 7 5 10 M-7 River mile 33.6 4 < 4 12 * Note: Total suspended solids samples were analyzed by the Duke Energy Analytical Laboratory at the McGuire Nuclear Complex in Huntersville, North Carolina. This laboratory is certified by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality. According to standards set by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, the upper end of the study reach (Savannah Creek to Dillsboro Dam) is classified as Class C freshwaters/trout, and the study reach below Dillsboro Dam is classified as Class C freshwaters. All of the water quality parameters collected during the second quarter of 2008 were within the set limits for Class C freshwaters/trout above the dam and Class C freshwaters below the dam. As water temperatures warmed from April through June throughout the study reach, DO values decreased correspondingly. This is because as water warms, it has a reduced capacity to contain DO. All DO values were still above water quality limits for Class C freshwaters/trout above the dam (6 mg/L daily average; 5 mg/L daily minimum) and for Class C freshwaters below the dam (5 mg/L daily average; 4 mg/L daily minimum). Turbidity values were elevated in June, compared to April and May, but were still within state standards (10 NTUs above the dam and 50 NTUs below the dam). TSS values in June were also higher than in April and May even though June flows were within the same range as April and May flows. It is possible that land disturbance activities in the watershed above the study reach contributed to the elevated TSS and turbidity values. Specific conductance and pH values did not change appreciably during second quarter 2008 water quality sampling. n ICJ 7 0 Section 2 Monthly Water Quality Sampling Data As part of the Pre-Removal Phase Monitoring study, DTA plans to collect water quality data in a variety of flows, including a stormwater runoff event. This will demonstrate how the water quality in the Tuckasegee River changes during normal seasonal storm events. • • Section 3 Second Quarter 2008 Sediment Monitoring and Substrate Mapping This study includes 17 sediment monitoring transects on the Tuckasegee River between river miles 12.2 and 32.8 (see Figure A-2 in Appendix A). The transect locations were selected based on previous study locations, known mussel locations, and aquatic characterization (i.e., pool and riffle/run type aquatic habitats). DTA paired each pool transect with a riffle/run transect to examine sediment changes and scour and deposition patterns on a seasonal basis throughout the downstream reach. The riffle/run transects were located in areas typical of those where the endangered Appalachian Elk toe mussel are found. Photos of each cross-section are included in Appendix B. Cross-sectional surveys and substrate mapping were performed at these transects during the second quarter of 2008. This data collection during the pre-removal monitoring phase will provide a baseline understanding of sediment composition in the Tuckasegee River. The cross-sectional profiles are summarized in Figures D-1 through D-17 in Appendix D. These charts illustrate the cross-sectional profiles for the second quarter of 2008. This Pre-Removal Phase Monitoring will demonstrate seasonal fluctuations in sediment composition on the Tuckasegee River. • 9 Section 4 Second Quarter 2008 Hydrology Analysis Mainstem Tuckasegee River flows and flows from a nearby tributary were recorded at several USGS stream flow measuring gauges. These stream gauges include: ¦ USGS Gauge 03508050 Tuckasegee River at SR 1172 near Cullowhee, NC; ¦ USGS Gauge 03510577 Tuckasegee River at Barker's Creek, NC; ¦ USGS Gauge 03512000 Oconaluftee River at Birdtown, NC; and ¦ USGS Gauge 03513000 Tuckasegee River at Bryson City, NC. Graphs of flow versus time for the four gauges used in this study are shown in Figures C-1 through C-4 in Appendix C. 0 • 10 • Section 5 Second Quarter 2008 Sediment Sampling A representative sediment grab sample was collected at each of the 17 sediment monitoring transects during the fourth quarter of 2007 and the first and second quarters of 2008. The grab samples were collected from the upper two inches of the riverbed. The samples were tested and analyzed by Summit Laboratories, an AASHTO R18 accredited geotechnical laboratory located in Fort Mill, South Carolina. The sediment grab samples were tested in accordance with ASTM D 422 (without hydrometer) to obtain a particle size distribution. Particle size distribution graphs and fractional components charts for each of the 17 transects are located in Figures E-1 through E-34 in Appendix E. Each graph and chart includes curves representing the sampling trips during the fourth quarter 2007, and first and second quarters of 2008. In general, the particle size distribution curves were similar from the fourth quarter of 2007 to the second quarter of 2008. Pool transects typically contain a high percentage of sands and fines (silts and clays). The sediment from transects in Dillsboro Pond (T-13 through T-16) had a majority of fine sand and fines, with coarser materials at the upper transect (T-16) and gradually finer materials closer to the dam (T-13). This is typical of sediment deposition patterns behind dams where larger particles fall out in the upper end of the impoundment as velocities first start to decrease. Riffle/run transects typically contain a wider range of substrates from coarse gravel to fines. Most of the riffle/run transects exhibit similar percentages of individual substrate types from the fourth quarter of 2007 to the second quarter of 2008. There are, however, some exceptions where the particle size distribution curves and fractional components charts differed among the three sampling events. Because these differences are typically in the larger substrate sizes (i.e., small, medium, and large gravel), they are likely due to sampling inconsistencies. For example, adding a few extra pieces of gravel to a sample can result in significant differences in the particle size distribution (PSD) of the sample from one quarter to the next. Further evidence that this is due to sampling inconsistencies is based on inspection of cross-section profiles at transects where sediment grab samples are showing some of these differences (e.g., Transects 1, 2, and 6). i These transects are not undergoing significant changes in cross-sectional profile (scour or 0 Section 5 Second Quarter 2008 Sediment Sampling deposition) from one quarter to the next. Therefore, it is unlikely that larger substrate sizes are being transported downstream. Adjustments in sampling techniques are being made to improve sediment grab sampling consistency to obtain representative grab samples for each transect. The results of the Pre-Removal Phase Monitoring for the fourth quarter of 2007 and the first and second quarters of 2008 provide background data that shows characteristics of the Tuckasegee River under normal seasonal conditions. The water quality monitoring will be performed under the natural range of flows in the future to demonstrate the fluctuations in the river during and after storm events. The sediment monitoring study will supply background data to show how different flow conditions in the Tuckasegee River affect sediment scour and deposition. This data will be used to contrast characteristics of the Tuckasegee River before and after the dam removal. • • 12 • APPENDICES • LJ • APPENDIX A • MAPS OF WATER QUALITY MONITORING AND SEDIMENT MONITORING LOCATIONS n 1_J • E 0 • • 0 APPENDIX B PHOTOS ?J • • • • j A, 7A .< d1 M1I ¦ + .
