PCN Form Additional Information
Section B.3d Project Information — Project Purpose
The North Fork Reservoir is a concrete dam with an upstream reservoir located within Pisgah National
Forest and is used as a source of raw water for the City of Hendersonville's water treatment plant (WTP)
located in Mills River, NC. The City of Hendersonville currently has a Special Use Permit (see Appendix
A) with the National Forest Service to operate the reservoir until 2032. The City is requesting approval to
conduct maintenance dredging and gate valve repairs, if needed, for the existing reservoir and intake
facility. Once the dredging is completed and dredged material is disposed of at the off -site disposal location,
the Sediment Release Plan (Appendix B) is proposed for implementation. The Sediment Release Plan would
allow for a "de minimus" amount of sediment to be passed through the gate valve which would reduce the
frequency of maintenance dredging of the reservoir and supply a natural amount of sediment load to waters
downstream from the dam.
The North Fork Reservoir provides water supply for more than 70,000 residents and businesses.
Maximizing the capacity of the reservoir reduces suspended solids at the intake screens and allows the City
to continue to provide high quality potable water to the public. The higher quality and less suspended solids
reduce the treatment costs required at the water treatment plant. Based on the calculated rate of sediment
accumulation behind the dam (400 cubic yards per year), within 5 years the reservoir would be filled with
sediment, if no action were to be taken. When the reservoir fills up, future storm events would likely result
in large amounts of sediment going over the dam into the downstream waters. Additionally, the resources
required to treat the water at the water treatment facility would continue to increase if proper maintenance
of the reservoir and gate valve is not permitted.
Section B.3e Project Information — Project Details
The project will encompass two phases of dredging excess sediment from the reservoir thus increasing the
water storage capacity behind the dam. This reservoir was last dredged in 2007 using hydrodredge
equipment. The hydrodredge was supposed to provide sufficient storage for 10 years. Approximately 5,700
cubic yards of sediment have accumulated in the reservoir since the last dredging operation.
The dredging operation will be separated into two phases (See Figures 6.1-6.5). A two-phase design is
intended to minimize sediment impacts and maintain adequate flow to the WTP and downstream of the
dam. The bottom gate valve will remain closed during both dredging phases.
Prior to dredging, the water level in the reservoir will be lowered approximately 9ft. All dewatering will
be from the reservoir will be done from the surface with a temporary siphon (water released over the dam)
or through the intake pipe to the WTP. Sufficient flow to the intake pipe will be maintained for normal
operation at the plant. The rate of water released through the dam during the dredging operation will be a
minimum of 8 cubic feet per second to comply with the minimum standards set by the US Forest Service.
Upon drawing down the water level, aquatic organisms (fish, salamanders, etc.) will be caught and
released upstream or downstream of the reservoir.
Phase I involves excavation and sediment removal from the Big Creek side of the reservoir. A temporary
access ramp and stream crossing (over Fletcher Creek) will be installed to allow equipment access to the
Phase I dredging area. Big Creek will be temporarily diverted into a lined channel, around the work area,
to avoid sediment from the work area to entering the stream flow. City of Hendersonville will review and
approve the completion of Phase I before starting Phase II. Once approved, the temporary crossing over
Fletcher Creek, the diversion channel for Big Creek, and a portion of access ramp will be removed.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 08558641-CFE5-4F8C-903D-265D565F3BF0
Phase II of dredging will occur within the Fletcher Creek side of the reservoir. The remaining portion of
the access ramp installed in Phase I will be used for equipment access to the Phase II dredging area.
Fletcher Creek will be temporarily diverted into a lined channel, around the work around, to avoid
sediment from the work area to enter the stream flow. The City of Hendersonville will review and
approve the completion of Phase II before removal of the temporary diversion channel, access ramp,
siphon, and turbidity curtain.
The dredge material from both phases (approximately 7,500 cubic yards) will be hauled by dump truck
convoy to the disposal site behind the Hendersonville WTP in Mills River (outside of the US Forest
Service Boundary). The approximately 8.5-mile-long route is shown on Figure 4.1. The disposal area is
comprised entirely of uplands (Appendix Q.
0.076 acres of recently developed wetlands are anticipated to be excavated during the dredging operation.
These wetlands have formed from accumulated sediment rising above the water's surface and being
colonized by hydrophytic vegetation. To adequately dredge the reservoir, these newly formed wetlands
will need to be dredged.
The upland project boundary will utilize silt fencing and wattles to minimize sediment runoff from the
equipment and vehicle tracks. Figure 6.1-6.3 shows the proposed locations of erosion and sediment
control measures.
The gate valve for the dam will be inspected upon draw down. The City will have an engineer on -site
during the dewatering process to immediately inspect the condition of the existing gate valve and will
oversee maintenance if needed. The gate valve will be controlled with both manual and remote electronic
mechanisms that will default to the closed position in case of power failure to avoid any potential
catastrophic sediment release.
The time period required to complete this project is approximately 6 months.
• 14 days for mobilization and site preparation (March 2022)
• 5 months for dredging, valve maintenance, and disposal (weather dependent) (April 15-October
15, 2022)
• 12 days for de -mobilization (October -November 2022)
Typical earth -moving and dredging equipment will be used (i.e. backhoe, excavator, single axle dump
truck, etc.).
Upon completion of the dredging activities, a continuous bottom -release sediment discharge program
(Appendix B) is proposed to help increase the maintenance dredging interval and mimic more natural
sediment transport downstream of the dam. During baseflow, the outlet pipe gate valve will be open at
least 5.2 inches to maintain the required 8 CFS discharge to the receiving waters. The gate valve will be
fully opened during rainfall events greater than 1 inch to maximize the discharge of bottom water and
sediment. During rain events, surface water may flow over the dam.
The proposed USFS maintenance plan for this project is included in Appendix D.
The complete dredging plan sequence is provided in detail on Figure 6.5.

Section B.Sb — Project History
A Nationwide Permit 16 and 18 (Action ID: 2007-01921-345) was issued July 11, 2007 and a General
Water Quality Certification Number 3629 (GC3629) (DWQ Project # 07-0721) was issued August 2, 2007
for dredging operations at the reservoir. See Appendix E for previous permits.
Section D.1 a —Avoidance and Minimization - Design
Conducting the maintenance dredging work in two phases will allow for Fletcher Creek and Big Creek to
be diverted around the active dredging area, which will minimize the amount of sediment transported
downstream. The maintenance dredging plan avoids heavy machinery entering live water courses. The
bottom gate valve will remain closed during the dredging operations.
Wetland impacts WI-W4 are needed to maximize the capacity of the reservoir, as they have formed on
accumulated sediments in the reservoir. Approximately 0.029 acres of wetland (28% of wetlands) along the
periphery of the reservoir will be avoided by the selected design.
Section D.Ib —Avoidance and Minimization — Construction Techniques
All construction impacts will be temporary except for dredging. A siphon will be used to lower the surface
water elevation (from the top down) in the reservoir approximately 9 feet before dredging begins. In Phase
I, dredging equipment will cross over Fletcher Creek via temporary access ramp. Big Creek will be diverted
into a lined channel along the southern edge of the reservoir to allow for dredging to occur outside of a live
watercourse. Once Phase I is complete Big Creek will be removed from the lined channel and Fletcher
Creek will be diverted into a lined channel to allow access to the Phase II dredging area. Upon completion
of dredging the Fletcher Creek side of the reservoir all diversion channels, siphons, and access ramp will
be removed.
Proper erosion and sediment control measures will be utilized within the uplands limits of disturbance to
avoid unintended water quality impacts to downstream waters.

Section F.Sd — Endangered Species
An official species list was obtained through the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information and
Planning and Consultation (IPaC) on November 9, 2021. This species list provides existing data concerning
the presence or potential occurrence of threatened or endangered species in the defined project boundary
(Appendix G). The USFWS lists nine federally threatened and endangered species, including the bog turtle
(threatened due to similar appearance), as occurring or potentially occurring in the project boundary. A
second official species list was obtained through the IPaC process for the disposal site and the same nine
species were listed; therefore, the second list was not included in Appendix G.

2 - Not subject to ESA Section 7 Consultation
CEC consulted the FWS's "Northern Long -Eared Bat Consultation Areas" map for Henderson County. The
project site and disposal area are greater than 10 miles from a HUC listed as having known occurrences of
hibernation or maternity sites. No tree clearing is proposed at the project or disposal sites. It is the opinion
of CEC that the project would have "no effect" on the northern long-eared bat.
No naturally occurring suitable habitat (caves) for the gray bat were observed within the project or disposal
site. It is of the opinion of CEC that this project is not likely to adversely affect the gray bat. No tree clearing
is proposed at the project or disposal site.
The wetlands recently formed within the reservoir are composed of course sandy substrate and have been
colonized by early successional wetland plant species. These wetlands are not considered potentially
suitable habitat for bog turtle, mountain sweet pitcher -plant, bunched arrowhead and swamp pink. No
individuals of the Sarracenia, Sagittaria, or Helonia genus were observed within the wetlands on site. The
northern population of the bog turtle is not present in North Carolina.
No streams or wetlands are located within the disposal site; therefore, suitable habitat for Appalachian
elktoe, bog turtle, mountain sweet pitcher -plant, and swamp pink is not present.
The N. Fork Reservoir is near capacity within excessive accumulated sediments and is not considered
potentially suitable habitat for the Appalachian elktoe. The waters downstream of the dam (N. Fork Mills
River) is considered potentially suitable habitat for Appalachian Elktoe but is not proposed to be impacted
by the proposed project. It is of the Opinion of CEC that the project is not likely to adversely affect the
Appalachian Elktoe.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 08558641-CFE5-4F8C-903D-265D565F3BF0
Potentially suitable habitat for white irisette and small whorled pogonia was not observed within the project
site or disposal area. The project site contains only the reservoir and a short section of the existing gravel
access road. The disposal site is primarily bare ground and contained a small stand of trees with a dense
understory composed primarily on non-native species at the time of the delineation. The stand of trees was
cleared in the spring of 2021 to make room for additional maintenance activities.
A review of the NC Natural Heritage Program database on October 1, 2020 indicates no occurrences of
federally protected species occurring within a one -mile radius of the dredging site boundary. A review of
the NC Natural Heritage Program database on November 9, 2021 indicates no occurrences of federally
protected species occurring within the disposal site boundary.
It is the opinion of CEC that this project is not likely to adversely affect any of the nine species listed by
USFW as potentially occurring within the project or disposal sites.
Section F. 7b. Historic or Prehistoric Cultural Resources
The North Fork Dam (Site ID: HN1365; Status: DOE) is part of the subject project. Aside from maintenance
to the dam's gate valve, if needed, no structural changes are proposed to the dam itself. Maintenance
dredging will take place upstream of the dam and care will be taken to avoid damaging the dam during
dredging operations. Routine maintenance dredging behind dams should be anticipated for all dams,
regardless of their potential historic nature.
The next nearest potential historic site is approximately 2 miles away. Data gathered from NCHPO's
HPOWEB 2.0 for General Audience. Accessed 2/17/2021.

Technical Study in Support of a Sediment Release Program for the North Fork Reservoir
City of Hendersonville, NC
March 9, 2021
This technical study was conducted in support of implementing a long-term sediment release program
for the North Fork Reservoir located in the Pisgah National Forest near Mills River, North Carolina. The
City of Hendersonville withdraws water from the reservoir constructed in the 1920s under a Special Use
Permit authorized by the United States Forest Service as part of its potable water supply system serving
a population of approximately 70,000. The permitted water intake from this reservoir ranges from 0.5 to
2.0 million gallons per day which is mixed with water from Bradley Creek and Mills River at the Water
Treatment Plant in the Town of Mills River before being treated and delivered to customers.
Under the current reservoir operation program, excess water flows over the weir outlet on top of the
dam with no discharge from the bottom pipe outlet. The City must remove sediment accumulated from
the watershed every 15 to 20 years in order to maintain reservoir capacity. The City proposes to
implement a continuous bottom -discharge sediment release program to reduce the frequency of
reservoir sediment removal operations in addition to enhancing downstream ecological conditions with
more natural sediment transport and water temperatures.
The results of this technical study will be used in communications with the United States Army Corps of
Engineers in reference to Regulatory Guidance Letter No. 05-04 dated August 19, 2005 with the subject:
"Guidance on the Discharge of Sediments From or Through a Dam and the Breaching of Dams, for
Purposes of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899."
This guidance applies to the releases of water and water -carried sediment that may result in the
transportation, reduction, or elimination of bottom sediment accumulations from or through dams.
RGL No. 05-04 states on page 4 that "Activities that are not usually considered regulated discharges of
dredged material and do not require DA permits include actions such as ... releases during times of high
water or flood stages for purposes of passing flood waters through the dam; and the lowering of lake or
pond levels that results in the release of only de minimis amounts of sediment." RGL No. 05-04 further
states that "When evaluating whether any discharge is de minimis, ... factors in this consideration should
include the time of year and normal seasonality of high volume flows, the size of incoming and outgoing

stream/river and the intended release volume, the natural hydrograph of the system, the speed of the
drawdown, the normal amount of sediment in the watershed, and the potential for environmental
harm." This report provides information on the factors listed above in two sections:
1. Hydrology and Sediment Modeling Analyses to estimate discharge and sediment release rates
that simulate natural rates expected for a range of watershed flow return periods.
2. Management Plan for Sediment Release that specifies outlet pipe operations that achieve de
minimis sediment impacts and provide cold -water bottom discharge through the dam. This
section also includes the monitoring plan to identity any harmful downstream impacts related to
excessive sediment accumulation.
1. Hydrology and Sediment Analyses
Hydrology and sediment analyses were performed for the North Fork Reservoir watershed to estimate
the flow and sediment release rates that simulate natural rates. These results were used to confirm the
appropriate hydraulic discharges from the pipe that would result in de minimis impacts downstream.
This information was used to estimate the appropriate sediment discharge rates from the lake to the
downstream river that would approximate natural sediment transport rates if the dam did not exist.
I.I. Hydrology Analysis
The North Fork Reservoir has a contributing watershed drainage area of 10.5 square miles, contained
entirely within the Pisgah National Forest. This includes 4.4 square miles from Fletcher Creek and 6.1
square miles from Big Creek, which meet to form the reservoir. The nearest stream gage (USGS
03446000) is located downstream on the Mills River, where the drainage area is 66.7 square miles of
mostly forest and agricultural land. Estimated stream flows presented in Table 1 for the outlet of the
lake were determined for multiple return periods using the on-line StreamStats application, from the
United States Geological Survey:
http://water.usgs.gov/osw/streamstats/north carolina.html
The 2-year return period estimated discharge of 685 cfs is similar to the estimated bankfull discharge of
601 cfs reported for the Blue Ridge Ecoregion on the NCSU Stream Restoration Program web site:

Exact values of low -flow, or baseflow, rates are not available, since a long-term flow record has not been
documented at the dam. However, these conditions can be estimated from the long-term record at the
downstream USGS gage. Daily mean discharge data were obtained from this gage on the Mills River
(USGS 03446000) for water years 2010 through 2019 (i.e., October 1, 2009 through September 30,
2019). A running 7-day average of these flows was calculated throughout the 10-year period. The lower
values of these 7-day mean flow rates represent low -flow conditions at the Mills River gage. With the
assumption that the entire watershed at the gage (DA = 66.7 square miles) contributes equally to
baseflow, these low flows can proportionally be scaled to approximate low -flow conditions at the North
Fork Reservoir (DA = 10.5 square miles). Summaries of these data are presented in Table 2.
Over the 10-year study period, this gage analysis suggests that the lowest 7-day average flow at North
Fork Reservoir was 5.4 cfs, while 90% of the 7-day periods had mean flows over 11 cfs (10th percentile).
The lowest 7-day mean estimated discharge for each water year ranged between 5.4 and 13 cfs. For 7
out of the 10 years, that discharge was between 7 and 10 cfs.
This gage analysis is similar to that which would be used to calculate the low -flow 7Q10, which is the
annual minimum 7 day average flow that, over the long-term, would be exceeded 9 out of 10 years. The
USGS calculated 7Q10 (and the related 7Q2 and 30Q2) for 301 sites in the western Piedmont and
Mountains of North Carolina, and reported results in USGS Water Supply Paper 2403:

Based on the USGS analyses, the 7Q10 for a 10.5-square-mile watershed in the western Piedmont and
Mountains is expected to be between 0 and 11.2 cfs, with a median expected value of 3.3 cfs. Similarly,
7Q2 would be between 0.5 and 16.6 cfs, with a median of 5.8 cfs; while 30Q2 would be between 1.9 and
19.1 cfs, with a median of 7.0 cfs. Flows at the North Fork Reservoir could reasonably be expected to be
greater than the median values due to the absence of impervious surface in the watershed and annual
precipitation depths that exceed many areas within the USGS study area.
These hydrologic analyses based on the Mills River gage and the USGS information suggest that the
minimum baseflow entering the North Fork Reservoir may be assumed to 10 cfs during normal rainfall
years, with lower flows expected during periods of drought.

1.2. Hydraulic Analysis
The dam at the reservoir has the following outlets:
• Broad -crested weir along the top of the dam, approximately 100 feet in length
• Intake pipe to the water treatment plant: one round orifice with an assumed diameter of 16
inches, and invert located approximately 10.2 feet below the weir
• Bottom discharge pipe: one round orifice with a diameter of 16 inches, and invert located 16.7
feet below the weir
Relevant elevations for the reservoir are:
2449.2 feet: full pond/crest of weir
2439.0 feet: invert of water intake pipe (approximate)
2432.5 feet: invert of bottom discharge pipe
The intake pipe to the water treatment plant is assumed to operate continually with a rate between 0.5
and 2.0 million gallons per day (MGD) to satisfy permit conditions, which equates to 0.8 to 3.1 cfs.
Hydraulic analyses were conducted to estimate flow rates through the bottom discharge pipe that
would allow for natural rates of sediment transport and a cold -water discharge to the receiving stream,
while maintaining the reservoir at full pond and allowing for continued operation of the water intake.
Flow through the bottom discharge pipe was approximated by applying the orifice equation:
where:
Q = CdA(2gh)o.s
Q = discharge from the orifice (cubic feet per second, cfs)
Ca = orifice coefficient of discharge (dimensionless)
A = cross -sectional area of orifice (square feet)
g = acceleration due to gravity (32.2 feet/second2)
h = driving head acting on horizontal centerline of orifice (feet)
The following assumptions were made for this analysis:
• The water level in the reservoir can be approximated by the top elevation of the dam (i.e., the
reservoir remains at full pond)
• No tailwater control conditions exist downstream of the dam
• Orifice discharge coefficient (Cd) equals 0.62 based on standard empirical conditions
• The outlet pipes are not obstructed

DocuSign Envelope ID: 08558641-CFE5-4F8C-903D-265D565F3BF0
Applying the orifice equation results in the following discharge rates from the bottom discharge pipe:
• For a vertical opening of 16 inches (i.e., the pipe is fully open): 28 cfs
• For a vertical opening of 8 inches (i.e., the pipe is half open): 14 cfs
• For a vertical opening of 6 inches: 9.7 cfs
• For a vertical opening of 4 inches: 5.5 cfs
• For a vertical opening of 2 inches: 2.0 cfs
The required opening height can also be calculated for any flow of interest. For example, an outflow of 8
cfs could be achieved by opening the pipe approximately 5.2 vertical inches.
This analysis produces a range of discharge scenarios that can be adjusted based on the rate of inflow to
the reservoir. Examples of these discharge scenarios include, but are not limited to, the following:
• During times of relatively high inflow (i.e., greater than 31 cfs):
o Water intake: 3.1 cfs (maximum allowable)
o Bottom discharge pipe: 28 cfs (fully open)
o Dam weir: any additional inflow above 31 cfs
• During times of moderate inflow (i.e., between 17 and 31 cfs):
o Water intake: 3.1 cfs (maximum allowable)
o Bottom discharge pipe: 14 cfs (half open)
o Dam weir: any additional inflow above 17 cfs
• During times of low inflow (i.e., below 17 cfs):
o Water intake: 0.8 to 3.1 cfs, provided that 8 cfs remains for baseflow
o Bottom discharge pipe: 8 cfs (open 5.2 inches; satisfies minimum permit condition)
o Dam weir: any additional inflow

1.3. Sediment Transport Analysis
Since the most recent dredging operation in 2007, the accumulation of sediment in North Fork Reservoir
is approximately 5,700 cubic yards based on bathymetric survey. This volume represents an
accumulation rate of 438 cubic yards per year (570 tons per year, or 54 tons per square mile of drainage
area per year). This accumulation rate is in general agreement with measured long-term suspended
sediment yields between 31 and 58 tons per square mile per year reported for North Carolina mountain
forested basins in USGS Water Supply Paper 2364:
http://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/2364/report.pdf
The release of stream sediment through the bottom discharge pipe can be considered to have a de
minimis impact on the downstream ecosystem if the concentration of suspended sediment generally
mimics the concentration found in nearby natural streams without impoundments. A recent study in the
Chatooga River Watershed was published by the Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory of the USDA Forest
Service:
http://www.srs.fs.usda.gov/pubs/ia/ia riedel005.pdf
This study reported highly variable total suspended solids (TSS) measurements related to discharge rates
during storms for four non -impounded and generally undisturbed tributaries. Due to similarities in land
uses, the most relevant relationship for North Fork Reservoir is the result for the recession limb of the
hydrograph for the Addie Branch tributary to Chattooga River. Of the four study streams, Addie Branch
had the most undisturbed watershed and lowest TSS concentrations. For Addie Branch, the following
regression equation was reported:
where:
TSS = 0.87Qo.6'
TSS = total suspended solids (mg/L)
Q = stream discharge (L/s)
The maximum sediment concentration measured in Addie Branch during the 15-month study was
approximately 200 mg/L. This suggests an upper limit for the acceptable sediment concentration
downstream of the North Fork Reservoir. It is assumed that TSS concentrations in flow going over the
dam are negligible, due to settling occurring within the reservoir. During the highest flow scenario for
the bottom discharge pipe at the North Fork Reservoir dam (i.e., pipe fully open), the outflow is 28 cfs,
meaning that a TSS concentration of 8.1 mg/L would mimic that found in Addie Branch at 28 cfs during
the recession limb of a storm hydrograph.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 08558641-CFE5-4F8C-903D-265D565F3BF0
To estimate the maximum potential annual sediment release if the bottom discharge pipe were to
consistently discharge 28 cfs throughout an entire year, the expected TSS concentration of 8.1 mg/L was
multiplied by the total water volume discharged during the year to produce the maximum sediment
discharge rate of 223 tons per year. This maximum annual sediment discharge is considerably less than
the average of 570 tons per year that have historically been deposited in the reservoir from the
upstream watershed. Even with these conservative assumptions, the annual volume of sediment
released downstream of the dam through a fully open bottom discharge would be considerably lower
than the volume of sediment transported by the watershed into the reservoir.
Based on these hydrologic and sediment transport analyses, the City intends to follow the Management
Plan for Sediment Release described in Section 2 in order to release cold water and sediment
throughout the year with de minimis impacts downstream. The Monitoring Plan described in Section 2
will be followed to document any downstream impacts associated with the sediment release program.

2. Management Plan for Sediment Release from the North Fork Reservoir
The sediment release management plan will be implemented to discharge bottom cold water and
sediment from the lower outlet pipe while achieving de minimis sediment impacts downstream. The
management plan includes two components:
2.1. Continuous Bottom Release During Baseflow Conditions:
• During baseflow, keep the outlet pipe gate valve open at least 5.2 inches to discharge at least
8 cfs in compliance with the required minimum downstream flow rate condition.
• Increase the bottom gate valve opening to match watershed inflow to the reservoir while
maintaining full reservoir pool conditions.
2.2. Storm Event Flushing Releases:
• During rainfall events of greater than one inch, open the outlet pipe gate valve fully to
maximize the discharge of bottom water and sediment.
• After the storm event when flow over the dam weir ceases, partially close the gate valve to
maintain full reservoir pool conditions while continuing to release at least 8 cfs.
2.3. Monitoring Plan for Downstream Impacts of Sediment Release
• Following storm events of greater than one inch, visually inspect the outlet pipe to ensure no
blockage and inspect the stream bed within 1,000 ft downstream of the dam to observe any
sediment accumulation conditions.
• Establish six permanent monumented stream cross -sections at the locations of three riffles
and three pools downstream of the dam for repeated topographic surveys.
• Survey the cross -sections before initiation of the sediment release program to establish
baseline morphology.
• Repeat the cross-section surveys quarterly for at least three years and compare data in order
to determine changes over time.
• Photograph cross -sections during surveys.
• Report monitoring results including graphs, tables, and photographs, to regulatory agencies
to determine if any changes are needed in the sediment release plan.

Jurisdictional wetlands and waters identified on this map have been located within sub -meter accuracy utilizing a Trimble mapping grade Global Positioning System (GPS) and
the subsequent differential correction of that data. GPS points may demonstrate uncorrectable errors due to topography, vegetative cover, and/or multipath signal error.
Note: The illustrated wetland and stream locations are approximate. These areas have been flagged in the field; however, they have not been surveyed. Although Clearwater
Environmental Consultants, Inc. (CEC) is confident in our assessment, the US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is the only agency that can make final decisions regarding
jurisdictional wetland and waters of the US delineations. Therefore, all preliminary determinations are subject to change until written verification is obtained. CEC strongly
recommends that written verification be obtained from the Corps prior to closing on the property, beginning any site work, or making any legal reliance on this determination.
This map was prepared by CEC using the best information available to CEC at the time of production. This map is for informational purposes only and should not be used to
determine precise boundaries, roadways, property boundary lines, nor legal descriptions. This map shall not be construed to be an official survey of any data depicted.

Dredging Plan
North Fork Reservoir
Pisgah National Forest, Henderson County, North Carolina
Prepared by C1earWater Environmental Consultants, Inc.
March 12, 2021
In accordance with the terms and conditions of the US Forest Service Special Use Permit, the
Permit Holder, City of Hendersonville (City), is required to comply with established federal and
state laws for the operation and maintenance of the permitted use.
The North Fork Reservoir is a concrete dam with an upstream reservoir located at the confluence
of Big Creek and Fletcher Creek within Pisgah National Forest and is a water source for the City's
water treatment facility located in Mills River, NC. The reservoir was constructed in 1927. The
City has an active 20-year lease with the National Forest Service to operate the existing water
supply reservoir until 2032.
This plan has been prepared for the proposed dredging and valve maintenance project to occur in
the summer of 2021.
A. CONTACT INFORMATION
City of Hendersonville Water Treatment Facility is located at 4139 Haywood Road, Mills River,
NC 28759. The main phone number for contacting these individuals is [phone]. Individuals
who work on distribution lines, raw water intake lines will be employed or contracted by
Hendersonville Water and Sewer, an enterprise department of the City. Work on transmission lines
will include a variety of field operations personnel.
Individuals responsible for these field operations personnel are:
• Lee Smith (utilities director) - [phone]
• Chad Freeman (operations manager) - [phone]
• Ricky Levi (WTP manager) — [phone]
B. 2021 MAINTENANCE PROJECT
The project will encompass dredging of excess sediment to be removed from reservoir thus
restoring the water storage capacity behind the dam. This reservoir was last dredged in 2007 with
a hydrodredge barge and a geo-tube (for sediment capture and dewatering). The hydrodredge was
estimated to provide adequate water storage for an additional ten years. Approximately 5,700 cubic
yards of sediment have accumulated since the last dredging operation. A Pre -construction meeting
will be held prior to any work between the City of Hendersonville, C1earWater Environmental, US
Forest Service permit administrator and additional appropriate permitting agencies if needed.
Before the dredging beings, the reservoir will be dewatered. The surface water elevation will be
lowered from the top, approximately 9 feet (to 2,444 feet elevation), using a siphon. The reservoir
shall not be lowered more than 1 foot per day. The specific elevation may vary based on field
Page 1

DocuSign Envelope ID: 08558641-CFE5-4F8C-903D-265D565F3BF0
conditions to maintain adequate flow into the intake to the WTP. Sediment will be allowed time
to settle at the lowered elevation. A turbidity curtain will be installed around the WTP intake and
the siphon used to maintain the lowered surface water elevation. At least 8 cubic feet per second
(CFS) of flow to the downstream waters will be maintained throughout the dewatering and
dredging operations. Upon drawing down the water level, aquatic organisms (fish, salamanders,
etc.) will be caught and released downstream of the reservoir (See Section C).
The dredging operation will be separated into two phases (See Attachment B - Dredging Plan and
Sequence). A two-phase design is intended to minimize sediment impacts and maintain adequate
flow to the WTP and downstream of the dam.
Phase I involves excavation and sediment removal from the Big Creek side of the reservoir. A
temporary access ramp and stream crossing (over Fletcher Creek) using four culverts will be
installed to allow equipment access to the Phase I dredging area. Big Creek will be temporarily
diverted into a lined channel, around the work area, to avoid sediment from the work area to
entering the stream flow. The City of Hendersonville will approve the completion of Phase I before
switching to Phase II begins. Once approved, the temporary crossing over Fletcher Creek, the
diversion channel for Big Creek, and a portion of access ramp will be removed.
Phase II of dredging will occur within the Fletcher Creek side of the reservoir. The remaining
portion of the access ramp installed in Phase I will be used for equipment access to the Phase II
dredging area. Fletcher Creek will be temporarily diverted into a lined channel, around the work
around, to avoid sediment from the work area to enter the stream flow. The City of Hendersonville
is to approve the dredging of Phase II prior to removal of the temporary diversion channel, access
ramp, siphon, and turbidity curtain.
The dredge material from both phases(up to 7,500 cubic yards) will be hauled by dump truck
convey to the disposal site behind the Hendersonville WTP in Mills River (outside of the US Forest
Service Boundary). The approximately 8.5-mile-long route is shown on Figure 1.1 of Attachment
B. The disposal area is comprised entirely of uplands (Attachment C — Disposal Area).
The upland project boundary will utilize silt fencing and wattles to minimize sediment runoff from
the equipment and vehicle tracks. Figure 3.1 of Attachment B shows the proposed locations of
erosion and sediment control measures.
A continuous bottom -release sediment discharge program prepared by Jennings Environmental
(Attachment D — Sediment Release Plan) is also proposed to help increase the maintenance
dredging interval and mimic more natural sediment transport downstream of the dam. During
baseflow, the outlet pipe gate valve will be open at least 5.2 inches to maintain the required 8 CFS
discharge to the receiving waters. The gate valve will be fully opened during rainfall events greater
than 1 inch to maximize the discharge of bottom water and sediment.
During dredging operations, water that becomes turbid will be directed into the water intake
structure to be sent to the Hendersonville WTP. Were sediments will be filtered and removed.
Page 2

DocuSign Envelope ID: 08558641-CFE5-4F8C-903D-265D565F3BF0
The drain valve for the dam has not been used for years and will be inspected upon draw down.
The City will have an engineer on -site during the dewatering process to immediately inspect the
condition of the existing gate valve and will oversee maintenance if needed.
C. AQUATIC WILDLIFE RELOCATION
• Animal relocation should be done immediately and quickly after the water level has been
lowered, and with the exceptions noted below, we recommend moving animals via
buckets with water into downstream North Fork Mills River.
• If any hellbenders or mud puppies (very large salamanders) are found, they should be
taken via bucket far downstream.
• Pond -dwelling turtles and pond dwelling salamanders other than hellbenders or
mudpuppies should be moved to a large, slow pool that has a pond -like character.
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission and US Forest Service Fisheries Biologist
Lorie Stroup will be notified at least two weeks prior to dewatering and dredging project.
D. LANDSCAPE AND EROSION CONTROL
The Permit Holder or their Contractor shall take necessary measures to prevent and control soil
erosion within the right-of-way and on adjacent lands that might be affected by construction,
operation, or maintenance of the use; and shall revegetate, and keep revegetating all areas of soil
made bare by these activities, and shall constrain eroded material within the construction limits.
To meet this objective the Permit Holder or Contractor will accomplish the following provisions
during construction.
I. Establish and maintain a vegetative cover on all earth cut and fill banks and on all mixed
earth and rock banks which have enough soil due to construction.
2. Seeding as construction progresses using a wild seed mix. A temporary cover crop will be
established if there is a conflict in planting season. A permanent cover crop will be
established at the first approved time of planting.
3. Completing all seeding and mulching within 30 days of construction during the seeding
season, unless drought conditions prevail.
4. Using a seed mixture adapted to soil, climate, and season. Mulching with pine straw.
5. Seed bare soils within 100 feet of riparian area the same day as completion of soil
disturbance.
E. VEGETATION CLEARING
The Permit Holder, or their contractor and subcontractors will conform to the following Clearing
Plan:
The maximum clearing and grubbing limits are to be set at 5 feet outside actual construction
lines except that cutting of hazard trees outside these limits may be done with prior
approval. Construction machinery is to be contained within the clearing limits. However,
no clearing shall be done outside the south right-of-way limits.
Page 3

DocuSign Envelope ID: 08558641-CFE5-4F8C-903D-265D565F3BF0
2. If during the clearing phase of construction endangered, threatened, and sensitive species
are encountered, the U. S. Forest Service will be notified before clearing proceeds.
F. CULTURAL RESOURCES
If during construction or maintenance activities archaeological sites are discovered, activities will
be immediately suspended, and the US Forest Service will be notified. Prior to resuming activities,
each site will be evaluated by a professional archaeologist using the National Register of Historic
Places, criteria of significance, using known data.
If archaeological site testing is required to evaluate significance, and the construction project
cannot be moved so that no adverse effect will occur to the cultural resource, the Permit Holder
will notify the US Forest Service for consultation before construction begins or resumes.
All activities requiring modifications to National Register listed or eligible sites will be
coordinated by the Forest Service and the Advisory Council on Historic Places and the State
Historic Preservation Officer, whether under easement or not.
Testing or mitigating National Register sites will require a 1906 Antiquities Act permit, authorized
by the Regional Forester and the Smithsonian Institution. The permit shall be sought prior to any
investigations of this order.
A report describing the sites found, their significance, and the judgments used to arrive at
significant determinations, will be prepared and submitted to the US Forest Service for review.
A "site" is defined as more than two artifacts in close proximity and older than 50 years.
G. FIRE PROTECTION
During the period of construction, the Permit Holder shall both independently and in cooperation
with the Forest Service, do everything that is reasonable and practical to prevent and suppress
forest fires on the project area and in its immediate vicinity. All contracts and subcontracts shall
include provisions requiring contractors, subcontractors, and their respective employees to do
likewise. The Permit Holder, their contractors, and subcontractors will conform to, but not be
limited to, the following Fire Plan:
1. Take immediate independent or cooperative action to control and extinguish any fire,
regardless of cause, within the easement area and its vicinity.
2. Provide adequate spark arrestors acceptable to the US Forest Service on all steam and
internal combustion engines, including tractors, trucks power rollers, power shovels, and
chain saws. The use of welding equipment, cutting torches, and similar flammable
equipment must be done in an area cleared of all vegetation, leaves and debris. Power saws
shall not be refueled while hot and shall be refueled in a roadway or other cleared area.
Page 4

DocuSign Envelope ID: 08558641-CFE5-4F8C-903D-265D565F3BF0
When the Forest Service advises the State that local fire weather conditions are becoming
critical, the Permit Holder shall always keep gasoline chain saws, a shovel, and take
precautionary measures requested by the Forest Service.

Gentlemen,
As you are aware, for the past month we have been dealing with cleanup and assessment of damage from TS Fred,
which will likely be in the $50 million range. Unfortunately the two specialties that you all need the most information
from (hydrology and fisheries) are the two hardest impacted by the damage from Fred. Both Brady and Lorie are
working hard to keep everything afloat, but I hope you can understand and appreciate that the impacts from this event
will be felt for years and so it's critical that they complete the assessment phase of impacts in a timely manner in order
to allow us to be in a position to compete for funding to restore much of the area where damage has occurred. I spoke
with Brady on Monday and he indicated that he was planning on reviewing your proposal this week and would provide
feedback.
From a permitting perspective the District Ranger has decided that, much like Bradley creek, we will consider the activity
to be maintenance on an existing authorization that will take less than a year to complete and not a new action
requiring a permit amendment and as a result a decision memo will not be forth coming. If you need that to be
communicated in a more formal letter in order to get permitting from the Corps of Engineers let me know.
Thanks,
Cody

Project Name: North Fork Reservoir Dredging
Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The attached species list identifies threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate species, as
well as proposed and final designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your
proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. Although not required by
section 7, many agencies request species lists to start the informal consultation process and begin
their fulfillment of the requirements under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of
1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
This list, along with other helpful resources, is also available on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) —Asheville Field Office's (AFO) website: https://www.fws.gov/raleigh/species/
cntylist/nc counties.html. The AFO website list includes "species of concern" — species that
could potentially be placed on the federal list of threatened and endangered species in the future.
Also available are:

Predictive Habitat Model for Aquatic Species
https://www.fws.gov/asheville/htmls/Maxent/Maxent.html
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could require modifications of these lists.

Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the Act,
the accuracy of the species lists should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be
completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be
completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website or the AFO website (the AFO website dates each
county list with the day of the most recent update/change) at regular intervals during project
planning and implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may
be requested through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the
enclosed list or by going to the AFO website.
The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the
ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of
the Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to
utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered
species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or
designated critical habitat.
A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having
similar physical impacts) that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)
(c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a Biological
Evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may
affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended
contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12 and on our office's website
at https://www.fws.gov/asheville/htmis/project review/assessment guidance.html.
If a Federal agency (or their non-federal representative) determines, based on the Biological
Assessment or Biological Evaluation, that listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be
affected by the proposed project, the agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to
50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service recommends that candidate species, proposed species, and
proposed critical habitat be addressed within the consultation. More information on the
regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of permit or license
applicants, can be found in the "Endangered Species Consultation Handbook" at: http://
www.fws.gov/endangered/esa-library/pdf/TOC-GLOS.PDF.
Though the bald eagle is no longer protected under the Endangered Species Act, please be aware
that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16
U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require additional consultation (see
https://www.fws.gov/southeast/our-services/permits/eagles/). Wind energy projects should
follow the wind energy guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenerg_y/) for minimizing impacts to
migratory birds (including bald and golden eagles) and bats.
Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects including communications
towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at: http://

Endangered Species Act Species
There is a total of 10 threatened, endangered, or candidate species on this species list.
Species on this list should be considered in an effects analysis for your project and could include
species that exist in another geographic area. For example, certain fish may appear on the species
list because a project could affect downstream species.
IPaC does not display listed species or critical habitats under the sole jurisdiction of NOAA
Fisheriesi, as USFWS does not have the authority to speak on behalf of NOAA and the
Department of Commerce.
See the "Critical habitats" section below for those critical habitats that lie wholly or partially
within your project area under this office's jurisdiction. Please contact the designated FWS office
if you have questions.
1. NOAA Fisheries, also known as the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), is an
office of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration within the Department of

RE: North Fork Reservoir Dredging; 1020
Dear ClearWater Environmental Consultants, Inc.:
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural
communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project
boundary. These results are presented in the attached `Documented Occurrences' tables and map.
The attached `Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that
have been documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these
records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area
if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one -mile
radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report.
If a Federally -listed species is documented within the project area or indicated within a one -mile
radius of the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) for guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here:
httr)s://www.fws.aov/offices/Directory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation
planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria
for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published
without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information
source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission.
Also please note that the NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional
correspondence if a Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Clean Water
Management Trust Fund easement, or an occurrence of a Federally -listed species is documented
near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact Rodney A. Butler at rod ney.butlerCo�ncdcr.aov or 919-707-8603.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program

The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
Based on the project area mapped with your request, a query of the NCNHP database indicates that
there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or
conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there
may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not
imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have been surveyed. The results of this query
should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare
species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our
records.
The attached `Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that
have been documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these
records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area
if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one -mile
radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report.
