The Project is a constructed development that was originally placed in operation by the Fries Manufacturing & Power Company in 1898 with 8 turbine- generating units. Duke Power Company's predecessor, the Southern Public Utilities Company, purchased the project in 1913 and replaced the turbine- generating units with 6 units of larger capacity by 1914. On July 28, 1980, Duke Power Company was issued a minor license by the FERC, effective April 1, 1962 and terminating on July 31, 2000. Applicant purchased the project from Duke Power Company in December 1996. All lands necessary to operate and maintain the project are owned by Applicant in fee. By agreement between Applicant and the City of Winston - Salem, the City uses Yadkin River water behind the Idols impoundment free of charge as the source of its auxiliary water supply Briefly described, the Project consists of (1) a long, low head, stone masonry dam across the river channel that diverts a portion of the river's flow into a powerhouse located on the east bank, and (2) a powerhouse containing inlet works, turbines, generators and transmission equipment. Flows from the powerhouse discharge to a long tailrace before returning to the main river channel. No major modifications to the Project have been made since the previous FERC license application filed by Duke Power Company in 1966, and no additions or alterations are proposed as part of this application ATTACHAIE VT 3 U.S. FISH & WILDLIFE SERVICE CORRESPONDENCE 11 Duke Power Company Pa Bar 1006 Charlotte, NC28201 -1006 VL1� ouurowu� DUKEPOWEA Much 8, . s " • Ms. Linda Gantt, Field Supervisor US Department of the Interior US Fish and wildlife Service Division of Ecological Services P.O.

Documentation is desired on how Duke Power ensures that Idols Reservoir doesn't go below the Winston Salem water intake level. 2. Include calculations in the documentation showing the amount of -time, for the project to fill and spill, beginning with a two foot drawdown and a 7Q10 flow. If the reservoir is capable of filling and spilling in 2 hours or less under those conditions (two foot drawdown and 7Q10 flow) then that will help determine if the project approximates run -of- river operation and help resolve downstream flow concerns. It is also desired that Duke calculate how far the reservoir could be drawdown in a 2 hour time under a 7Q10 flow condition. 3. It was suggested that Duke plot the USGS gage readings above and below the project during the low flow season. If these plots indicate that the flow readings follow the same relative pattern, then that will help resolve any downstream flow concerns and help demonstrate that Idols has an approximate run -of -river operation. 4. If the screening and flow criteria stated in the NCWRC correspondence under the impingement and entrainment issues is not met, then an assessment of the entrainment potential and a calculation of the entrainment mortality potential, based on turbine blade contact, will be an acceptable approach to resolve the entrainment issue. 5. There is a need to determine the functionality of the fish ladder. If the applicant will verify that the fish ladder is non - functional, then the issue of upstream fish passage can be closed.

Oakley, Senor E--.-in= Environmental Engineering ESS Environmental Division Duke Power Company P.O. Box 1006 Charlotte, NC 28201 -1006 Dear Mr. Oakley: Thank you for your July 31, 1995, letter requesting comments on the First Stage Consultation Report for Idols Hydroelectric Project (FERC #2585) and the invitation to the September 19, 1995, meeting regarding the relicensing of this project. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has reviewed the Report. These comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.), Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 -1543) and the Federal Power Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 79la- 825r). The Idols Hydroelectric Project, located on the Yadldn River in Forsyth County, consists of a low head, rubble masonry dam and a wooden powerhouse. The project functions in an approximate run-of -river mode with project operation based on a daily inspection by an operator who evaluates if the water level is suitable for production without impacting the City of Winston Salem's water supply intake. The impacts of the approximate run -of -river mode vs. a true run - of -river mode is of concern to the Service. It is our understanding that at times, no spill over the dam occurs. Under this flow regime, the only flow entering into the bypassed reach is from leakage; water passing through the fish ladder; water entering from Carter's Creek, or backflow from the tailrace. Duke Power may need to conduct an instream flow study to determine the requirements for flow within the bypassed reach. A site visit was scheduled for November 15, 1995, to observe the project during low flow conditions, but was canceled due to the lack of suitable conditions. The Service is willing to participate and would appreciate prior notification of a future site visit. The Project contains a fish ladder at the midpoint of the spillway. At the September 19, 1995, meeting and site visit, the operator stated that shad, presumably gizzard shad, orosoma C ianum) and white bass Mron e chry= use the fish ladder. Dube Power should evaluate the ladder to determine the species that use the ladder and to what degree. Additionally the flow required in order for the fish ladder to function effectively, as well as length of time this flow exists during spawning periods for the species of fish found to be utilizing the ladder should be determined. The Report mentions that the Project contains a trashrack, however there is no information regarding bar width, spacing, or flow velocity at this point. Inclusion of this information would be useful in evaluating the potential for fish impingement and entrainment. Another point of discussion at the September 19, 1995 meeting was the need to enhance public access to the Yadkin River, Duke Power wished to discuss this topic at a later date. Currently there is a canoe portage area around the Project's dam. The Service affirms the importance of promoting quality wildlife experiences for all of our nation's citizens. To further this goal, the Service would like to see Duke Power investigate ways to enhance public use of the Project area. Once again, thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on this project. We look forward to working further with Duke Power in the relicensing process for the Idols Hydroelectric ProjecL If you have any questions, please feel free to contact myself, or John Ellis at the above address, or at (919) 856 -4520, ext. 26.

Information and study proposals are enclosed based on the agreements of the February 12 meeting, as outlined in the March 8, 1996, meeting summary. The enclosed study plans and information should address concerns regarding low flow conditions, fish ladder functionality, dissolved oxygen monitoring, entrainment assessment, downstream flow and approximate run -of -river operation.

Oakley IDOLS HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT STUDY PLANS AND INFORMATION Low Flow Demonstration Low flow demonstrations planned for earlier this year were canceled due to high flow conditions. This demonstration will be rescheduled during late May to early June 1996, when flow conditions are more conducive to simulating a low flow scenario. Duke Power Company will consult with NCWRR, NCWRC, and USFWS personnel to reschedule this demonstration. Fish Ladder Functionality The USFWS requested verification relative to the functionality of the fish ladder at the Project. The applicant is not aware of any current or historical utilization of the spillway fish ladder for upstream passage at the Project. The only Yadkin River-species that might benefit from upstream passage at the Project would be the striped bass during upstream spawning migration. In the late 1980's, the NCWRC investigated the feasibility of establishing a self - sustaining striped bass population in the Yadkin River. Upstream passage at the Project was a consideration of this study. After conducting field surveys of water velocities in potential striped bass spawning and nursery areas, the NCWRC concluded that water velocities were either inadequate or marginal to suspend striped bass eggs and fry for successful propagation. Additionally, research revealed that there were no documented cases where fish ladders were utilized by striped bass. The NCWRC concluded there was little likelihood of establishing a self- sustaining population of striped bass within the Yadkin River, and that the enhancement of the striped bass population within the Yadkin River system may be accomplished with alternative management methods. Dissolved Oxygen Monitoring The NCDWR, NCWRC, and USFWS have expressed concerns about the dissolved oxygen levels in the bypass reach during the low -flow period of the year. To address 'these concerns, dissolved oxygen levels and water temperatures in the bypass reach just downstream of the spillway will be monitored during July- September 1996. Data will be collected with Hydrolab Datasonde II® units installed in the bypass reach. The exact monitoring location and placement of the Datasonde II units will be determined during the low flow demonstration scheduled during May or June 1996. Two Datasonde II units will be placed in the bypass to-begin data collection on July 1, 1996. The two units will be placed in the same location to ensure continuous data collection in the-event one of the units malfunctions. The units will be programmed to collect data every 15 minutes. With this frequency of data collection, the batteries in each unit should provide nine consecutive days of operation. To ensure uninterrupted data collection, however, both units will be swapped out with new units every seven days. The units will be returned to the laboratory where the data will be downloaded, and the units will be cleaned, recalibrated, and the batteries recharged for redeployment the following week. This procedure will be repeated each week of the 3- month study period. The data collected over the 3 -month study period will be analyzed to provide hourly averages for dissolved oxygen (ppm) and water temperature (C). 'These data will be used to determine diurnal and diel dissolved oxygen patterns in the bypass reach during the low -flow period of the year. The results of this study will be summarized and reported to the NCDRR, NCWRC, and the USFWS. Assessment of Entrainment The NCWRC and the USFWS have both expressed concerns about fish entrainment and mortality at the Project. The NCWRC criteria for water intakes establish the maximum intake rack bar spacing and water velocity as 2.5 in and 1.5 fps, respectively. If these criteria can not be met for the Idols Hydroelectric Project, then specific studies must be conducted to address entrainment and entrainment mortality. Due to the configuration of the powerhouse and the resulting difficulty in conducting definitive entrainment studies, both NCWRC and the USFWS have agreed that an assessment of the entrainment potential and a calculation of the entrainment mortality potential will be an acceptable approach to address this issue. This approach is consistent with the approach used for the Spencer Mountain Hydroelectric Project. Intake Velocity Determinations The first step in addressing the entrainment issue will consist.of an evaluation of the intake velocities and trash rack spacing at the Project to determine consistency with _ the NCWRC screening and flow criteria. Intake velocities will be determined by measuring velocities just upstream of the trashrack of each operating unit under four -unit operation. Due to the inclination of the trashracks, velocity will be measured along a transect parallel to-the intake, approximately 2 m upstream of the trashracks. A rope will be stretched across the intake at this point to allow measurements to be taken from a boat. The 16 -ft diameter opening for each unit will be divided into 3 -ft wide vertical strips, for a total of five strips per unit. A Marsh- McBirneyo Model 201 flowmeter will be used to measure velocity at 0.2 and 0.8 of the water depth within each vertical strip. Velocity data will be summarized separately for individual units and collectively for all units. These data will be submitted to the NCWRC and USFWS for their review. Entrainment /Mortality Potential If the trash rack spacing and intake velocities at the Project exceed the NCWRC criteria, an assessment of the entrainment potential and a calculation of the entrainment mortality potential will be conducted. The assessment of entrainment potential will consist of an electrofishing evaluation of fish densities in the forebay of the Project impoundment. The forebay fishery will be sampled with boat- mounted electrofishing equipment. The shoreline and near - shore area on the powerhouse side of the river will be sampled from the intake to just upstream of the railroad bridge (150 -m transect). Sampling will be conducted during late May to early June, when fishes should be concentrated in the near -shore area. All collected fishes will be identified to species, measured for total length (mm), and released. Data will be summarized to provide a qualitative and quantitative (catch - per - unit -of- effort) assessment of Y the forebay fishery. The assessment of the entrainment mortality potential at the Project will be conducted by calculating the probability that an entrained fish will be struck by a turbine blade as the fish passes through the Project's turbines. The probability will be calculated using Von Raben's formula (Cada 1990), based on fish size, turbine characteristics, runner speed, and discharge. The evaluation will be conducted for the range of species and sizes of fishes collected during the forebay fish survey mentioned above. The application of this formula will be the same as that used for a similar determination at the Spencer Mountain Hydroelectric Project. These data will be summarized to provide an assessment of the entrainment mortality potential for the species of fishes that would most likely be entrained. These data and the forebay fish survey data will be the basis for determining if there is a potential entrainment /mortality problem at the Project. Downstream Flow and Approximate Rua -of- River Operation It was suggested that Duke plot USGS gage readings above and below the project during low flow season. If these plots indicate that the flow readings follow the same relative pattern, then that will help resolve any downstream flow concerns and help demonstrate that Idols has an approximate run -of -river operation. Enclosed are plots of USGS gage readings above (Eason Gage: drainage area = 1694 square miles) and below (Yadkin College Gage: drainage area = 2280 square miles) the project during the low flow season. The plots are historical daily mean flows from July 1 to September 30 for the following years: 1980 - 1986; 1989 - 1991; and 1993. The data for the Enon gage for 1987 and 1992 and the data for the Yadkin College gage for 1988 during desired months was not included in the source of data used, and therefore is not presented in this report.. Also enclosed is the calculation showing the amount of time for the Project to fill and spill, beginning with a two foot drawdown and a 7Q10 flow. It was discussed on February 12, 1996 that if the reservoir is capable of filling and spilling in 2 hours or less under 7Q10 conditions, then that will help determine if the project approximates run -of -river operation and help resolve any downstream flow concerns.

Box 1006 Charlotte, NC 28201 -1006 SUBJECT: Study Plans for Idols Hydroelectric Project FERC Project No. 2585 Dear Ms. Robinson: This correspondence responds to a request by you for our review of Duke Power Company's proposed study plans at the Idols Hydroelectric Project. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission is authorized to comment and make recommendations which relate to the impacts of this project on fish and wildlife through the Federal License of Water Resource Project Act (Federal Power Act -16 U.S.C. 791a et seq.), and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.0 661- 667d). We find the study plans acceptable as written for the sections on low flow demonstration, fish ladder functionality, and dissolved oxygen monitoring. We recommend that the second paragraph under the subtitle Entrainment/Mortali1y Potential within the section on assessment of entrainment be modified. At present, this section states that fish sampling data will be used to calculate entrainment mortality potential by using Von Raben's formula. Depending on the results of fish sampling upstream of the intake, we may recommend that a site - specific mortality study be conducted. The presence of target species such as federal or state listed species, certain game species, or critical nongame species would drive our recommendation as to how to calculate a mortality estimate. In the absence of target species, we would likely agree to using Von Raben's formula to estimate entrainment mortality potential. We have discussed the section pertaining to downstream flow and approximate run -of- river operation with personnel of the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (DWR). We Idols Hydro Page 2 6/21/96 are not able to determine whether the operation of Idols Hydroelectric Project approximates run- of-river or not using the gage information provided by Duke Power Company. We defer to comments provided by the DWR in a memorandum to you dated 20 June 1996 for the method to be used for making this determination. Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on these study plans. If you have any questions regarding these comments, please contact Ms. Stephanie Goudreau at 704/652- 4257.

PC,Y A&14 0 - .0. a ML �EHNF1 The Division of Water Resources (DWR) has reviewed the Study Plans and Information Report for the relicensing of the Idols Hydroelectric Project, received May 20, 1996. The DWR do not have any comments on the sections of the report dealing with fish ladder functionality, dissolved oxygen monitoring, or the assessment of entrainment. Our primary concerns are related to downstream flows and how project operations might impact those flows and their uses The fill and spill calculations provided appear to be correct. These show that with a two - foot drawdown and a 7Q 10 inflow, if the project went off line it would spill in about an hour and a half and return to run -of -river downstream. These calculations were to assist in determining what level of drawdown night be acceptable but do not directly relate to whether the project approximates run -of -river operation The DWR also reviewed the U S. Geological Survey (USGS) gage data provided in the report These hydrographs show daily mean flows at the Yadkin College and Enon USGS gages on the Yadkin River. We can not determine from these records of daily mean flows whether the operation of Idols Hydro approximates run -of -river or not. We recommend plotting hourly flow data for both gages for shorter periods (two weeks) during the low flow months of July through October. An evaluation for these low flow periods from 1991 through 1996 should be made. This evaluation should include hourly plots for the same time period of the water withdrawn by Winston -Salem from Idols for water supply and the city's wastewater discharge to downstream tributaries - P O.

Monitoring Study Plan Davidson Co. Dear Mr. Robinson: fLT.R*A 0 a* d2boofty — �� EHNR (7e aF-CzD 5- PC,r After reviewing the Idols Fast Stage Consultation Report the Division has expressed concerns about the location of the dissolved oxygen (D.O.) monitoring stations described in the report. Two NPDES permitted facilities discharge treated wastewater within the Carters Creek watershed. Since Carters Creek joins the Yadkin River immediately downstream of the spillway, the Division recommends that the D.O. monitoring station be relocated downstream of the spillway within the bypass reach. Duke Power has responded to the Division's concerns by proposing a study plan to continuously monitor D.O. and temperature within the bypass reach. The Division has reviewed and approves of the study plan submitted on May 16, 1996. Since the low flow demonstration has been postponed twice, the proposed three month data collection period will have to be shifted back in time compared to the time period outline in the study plan. An appropriate starting time can be discussed during the low flow demonstration scheduled for July 18; 1996.

We have received information concerning the above project from the State Clearinghouse, as well as your letter of July 31, 1995. The Idols Hydroelectric Plant (Fries Manufacturing and Power Company) was placed on the North Carolina state study list on April 8, 1982, for potential nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. The power plant is eligible for listing under Criterion A for social history for its role in the development of the town of Winston and Salem (Winston - Salem) into a significant manufacturing and industrial center, and Criterion C for its engineering. It has been recognized by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers as a regional historic mechanical engineering landmark. We understand Duke Power intends to file an Application for New License, and is not at this time proposing any structural changes to the historic plant. We have determined the issuance of a new license will` have no effect upon the historic plant. If any plans for structural changes are developed in the future we will need to review the plans under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act for compliance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines. We are pleased the Idols Hydroelectric Plant will continue to be used for its historic purpose of generating electricity.

Box 29535 Raleigh, NC 27626-0535 Re: Idols Hydroelectric Project, FERC No. 2585 Dissolved Oxygen Monitoring Program Dear Mr. McDaniel: We have completed the dissolved oxygen monitoring program for the Idols Project. The results are provided herein. Background During first stage consultation for relicensing the Idols Project, the Division of Water Quality requested that the relicense applicant ( "Applicant ") implement a monitoring program to determine dissolved oxygen levels in the bypass reach during low flow periods of the year. The data would be used by DWQ and other agencies to evaluate the suitability of summer water quality conditions in the bypass reach for fishery and waste assimilation purposes under the current (and proposed) mode of project operation Applicant complied with this request by using continuous recorders to collect data at 15 minute intervals from July 1 through September 30, 1996. Unfortunately, above - average river flows precluded evaluating the bypass under "worst - case" conditions, hampered the deployment and retrieval of monitoring equipment, resulting in extended periods with no data collection, and greatly affected the accuracy of the data through progressive fouling of the sensor membrane. After reviewing the data, Applicant and DWQ determined: (1) the data was not suitable for use in addressing the objectives of the monitoring program, and (2) a revised monitoring program comprising the use of a hand -held meter to take measurements twice daily would be better suited to the goals of the monitoring program Measurement Procedures Dissolved oxygen, water temperature and depth of water over the dam were measured during the period June 26 through September 30, 1997. The DO and temperature measurements were made in the morning and evening of each day using a YSI® Model 55 hand -held meter. The meter probe was attached to an extension pole and placed approximately F below the water surface immediately downstream of the dam at the northeast end (see Attachment 1). Probe membranes were changed every two to three weeks Calibration was assured through the use of the built -in calibration chamber. 22525 SE 64th Place Issaquah, WA 98027 425 557 3680/Fax 425 557 4306 . Q00 Andrew McDaniel Jr. November 4, 1997 Page 2 Results River conditions this year were ideal for the purposes of our program. Exceptionally low flows resulted in several consecutive days in August and September when no flows passed over the dam. We were able to confirm that water backs up to the base of the dam under all conditions and we were able to measure the effects on DO levels during prolonged periods when no water is passing over the dam. The data, provided in both tabular and graph form in Attachment 2, is consistent with data gathered in the project vicinity in 1994: DO levels are relatively high, typically above 8 mA and show a slight diurnal trend, with levels generally higher in the morning than those in the evening. We also found that DO levels dropped during periods when no flow passed over the dam. However, the reductions were relatively modest, presumably due to moderating effects of dam leakage and tailwater recirculation within the bypass reach.
