The dam was built for flood control by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) in the 1960s on an unnamed tributary of South Deep Creek at Latitude 36.0927, Longitude -80.7210. It is one of a network of 15 flood-control dams in the Deep Creek watershed planned and authorized by USDA in 1958. Dam 21 is on private land but the dam is owned by SWCD which has a permanent easement for maintaining and operating the facility. MMI environmental scientists mapped jurisdictional wetlands and waters around the dam and lake in April 2021. The lake upstream of the dam and plunge pool below the principal spillway outlet are open Environmental Field Studies ■ Wetland &Stream Delineation ■ 404-401 Permits ■ Mitigation Plans& Banking MOGENSEN MITIGATION, INC. waters, and the channel below the plunge pool is a perennial stream. Tributary streams and wetlands enter the middle and upper portions of the lake 400 feet or more upstream from the riser, far beyond the proposed impact area. Jurisdictional waters that will be directly affected are open waters only. Work Description and Impacts Schnabel Engineering evaluated the condition of all USDA dams in the Deep Creek watershed and identified 10 dams that need repair work on and around their principal spillway risers, including low- level drain gates, trash racks, manhole covers, ladders, and sediment excavation. The sediment excavation and riser repair work will be conducted by either of two methods, to be determined by the contractor on a case-by-case basis: Alternative A: Maintain Full Pool 1. Install the temporary construction entrance (crushed rock) along the route to the riser work area and establish the staging area and erosion and sediment control measures in accordance with the construction drawings and technical specifications. 2. Plug the principal spillway conduit pipe to maintain full pool elevation. Outflow will be routed over the auxiliary spillway during the construction work. Install a temporary turbidity curtain in the plunge pool area below the dam. 3. Use a boat-mounted hydraulic dredge to remove sediment within the designated area around the principal spillway riser to the depth needed to facilitate replacement of the riser slide gate. Sediment slope around the riser after dredging shall be no steeper than 5 horizontal to 1 vertical to prevent slumping, as shown on the sediment removal plan sheet. 4. The hydraulic dredged sediment and water mixture will be pumped into sediment filter bags set up along the shore of the lake with erosion control measures to retain the sediment and allow nearly sediment-free water to flow back into the lake. 5. The dewatered sediment will be trucked to the designated sediment disposal site and spread on existing farmland. The sediment disposal site plan also includes erosion and sedimentation control measures. No streams, wetlands, or forest lands will be directly affected by the sediment disposal. 6. The low-level gate replacement work will be conducted under water. Remove the existing low stage trash rack and cut all old anchor bolts to be flush with riser concrete surfaces. Remove the existing slide gate, steel stem, stem guides, and operator. Install new stainless steel wedge type anchor bolts and new cast iron slide gate, stainless steel stem, and operator. New stem guides, bolts, and anchors shall be located at least 6-in from any existing stem guide bolt/hole. Page 2 MOGENSEN MITIGATION, INC. 7. Replaced structures and demolition debris will be disposed of at a construction debris facility regulated by the Division of Solid Waste Management. 8. Remove all temporary erosion and sediment control devices and filter bags. Apply seeding to all disturbed areas in the work area and along the access road in accordance with the technical specifications. Alternative B: Drain the Lake 1. Install the temporary construction entrance (crushed rock) along the route to the riser work area and establish the staging area and erosion and sediment control measures in accordance with the construction drawings and technical specifications. 2. Lower the water level in the lake by not more than one foot per day using the drain gate if operable and/or pumps or siphons. The reservoir will be maintained in a drained condition for the duration of the riser repairs. Install a temporary turbidity curtain in the plunge pool area below the dam. 3. Remove sediment and debris from the designated area around the riser using excavators in the drained lake bed. Sediment slope around the riser after dredging shall be no steeper than 5 to 1 horizontal to vertical to prevent slumping, as shown in the sediment removal plans. Erosion control measures such as temporary basins, check dams, sediment filter bags, and/or other appropriate measures as determined by the contractor will be used in the sediment dewatering area to minimize turbidity and sedimentation into the receiving stream below the dam. 4. Install a small temporary cofferdam around the riser base using either riprap and crushed rock fill or a synthetic water-filled bag such as an "AquaDam" to keep sediment from slumping back into the work area. The contractor will determine the appropriate method for the site; either method will occupy not more than 200 square feet of lake bed within the excavation area. 5. The dewatered sediment will be trucked to the designated sediment disposal site and spread on existing farmland. The sediment disposal site plan also includes erosion and sedimentation control measures. No streams, wetlands, or forest lands will be directly affected by the sediment disposal. 6. Remove the existing low stage trash rack and cut all old anchor bolts to be flush with riser concrete surfaces. Remove the existing slide gate, steel stem, stem guides, and operator. Install new stainless steel wedge type anchor bolts and new cast iron slide gate, stainless steel stem, and operator. New stem guides, bolts, and anchors shall be located at least 6-in from any existing stem guide bolt/hole. Page 3 MOGENSEN MITIGATION, INC. 7. Replaced structures and demolition debris will be disposed of at a construction debris facility regulated by the Division of Solid Waste Management. 8. Remove all temporary erosion and sediment control devices and filter bags. Apply seeding to all disturbed areas in the work area and along the access road in accordance with the technical specifications. Maintain a minimum baseflow in the receiving stream to protect aquatic life while allowing the lake to refill. The temporary access road from Helton Road to Dam 21 will use existing agricultural fields and the auxiliary spillway which is maintained as mowed grass. No tree clearing or other disturbance to natural plant communities will be needed. The area of proposed sediment excavation on the lake bed extends 40 to 50 feet around the riser base and covers approximately 0.16 acre. The temporary cofferdam fill around the riser will occupy less than 200 square feet (0.005 acre) within the excavated area. Wetlands adjacent to the upper portion of the lake may be temporarily dewatered if construction alternative B is selected.
